The School of Education faculty as a whole has delegated the responsibility for the review of all proposed new courses, new programs, and revisions of existing courses and programs to the School’s Programs Committee. The committee may initiate proposals for change that are then referred to another appropriate department or committee for further action, or the committee itself may elect to pursue a particular course of action.
In fulfilling these functions, committee members serve as liaisons with departments and provide feedback between departments and the committee. Other review bodies, including the faculty, the chancellor’s office, and system administration, assume that the actions of the Programs Committee represent informed professional judgment in accordance with School and university policy. Actions taken by the Programs Committee are subject to faculty and administrative review at all levels.
If you wish to submit a course proposal to the School of Education Programs Committee, please initiate the course proposal in Lumen, UW–Madison’s system for course proposals. This system is accessible through the MyUW portal. Courses are approved at the department level, the school/college level, and by the University Curriculum Committee, the campus body responsible for course review.
