Faculty Governance and Curricular Oversight
The UB Curriculum Steering Committee is the official Faculty Senate-designated committee charged with curricular oversight, course approval, program implementation and authentic assessment. This committee and its assorted sub-committees upholds the integrity of the program and sets academic policy for General Education at UB.
The UB Curriculum Office is responsible for the implementation and administration of the UB Curriculum as determined by the Steering Committee. The Office liaises with units and manages issues such as SUNY and student compliance. The office reports to the Vice Provost and Dean of Undergraduate Education.
