Curriculum Development
This curriculum support services page provides information, resources, templates and guidelines pertaining to the process of developing curricular initiatives and/or establishing new organizational units at Arizona State University. Academic program development is, generally, the process whereby academic units propose to establish new academic programs and/or academic units, as well as, when needed to enhance existing program offerings including creating new courses and/or revising existing courses. This development is a critical component of an academic unit’s long-term strategic planning mission. The Approval Process Matrix provided in each section outlines the approvals needed for proposed initiatives.
