Academic Programing Committee (APC)

Academic Programing Committee

Academic Programing Committee Roll

The Academic Program Review Committee at OSU-Cascades is responsible for evaluating and approving proposals related to academic programs and curricula. This includes the creation of new and unique programs, minors, options, and certificates, as well as the introduction of programs from OSU-Corvallis and Ecampus. The committee also reviews proposals to close, pause, or significantly modify existing programs, ensuring alignment with academic standards and institutional priorities. Additionally, the committee serves as a forum for discussing curriculum changes that require faculty input, particularly for programs without a standing curriculum committee in Corvallis. The committee interfaces with the Academic Leadership Council to ensure transparency and alignment with broader institutional goals.
