Curriculum and Academic Policy

CAPC MISSION

The Curriculum and Academic Policy Committee (CAPC) serves as a faculty-led body providing guidance, advocacy, and oversight of curricula and academic policies within the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences. The committee is responsible for reviewing and making informed recommendations on all proposals related to curriculum and policy. Its work supports student success, fosters academic innovation, and ensures alignment with the mission and strategic goals of both the College and the University.

The CAPC is committed to maintaining the academic integrity of the core curriculum across all undergraduate and graduate programs. It functions as a collaborative resource for faculty, instructors, and department chairs, offering support in the development and assessment of courses and programs. The committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending action on all curriculum and academic policy proposals, with careful consideration of relevant University, College, and Departmental policies.
