BUSINESS PLAN - CURRICULUM

Annually, beginning in May

The draft curriculum plan is developed in a collaborative effort between
the Office of External and Employer Relations (OEER), instructional
leadership, related curriculum teams, and employers. The curriculum is
drafted in a stackable credential pathway reflecting workforce needs of employers and
approved by campus and system office representatives. Lone Star College has
adopted a stackable credential model, as applicable, which includes:

STEP 5A

Once curriculum is drafted, it is submitted to the Office of Academic Affairs (OAA)
for review of compliance with THECB and SACSCOC policy and procedures. The
following describes the process of curriculum review and approval to move forward to
Step #5b.

Curriculum Management reviews new programs’ curricula to ensure that they satisfy
the requirements set forth in THECB and SACSCOC policies. New academic
programs follow the rules set forth in Title 19, Part 1, Chapter 8, Subchapter J, Rule
9.183 “Degree Titles, Program Length, and Program Content” of the Texas
Administrative Code; new workforce programs follow the rules set forth in Title 19, Part

LSC Workforce Program Development LoneStar.edu/Workforce-Council 125

STEP 5A Workforce Progr am Development Process

Business Plan-Curriculum

1, Chapter 8, Subchapter E, Rule 9.93 “Presentation of Requests and Steps for
Implementation of New Degree and Certificate Programs in Career
Technical/Workforce Education” of the Texas Administrative Code; and baccalaureate
programs follow the rules set forth in Title 19, Part 1, Chapter 8, Subchapter N, Rule
9.674 “Program Requirements” of the Texas Administrative Code. New courses and
degree programs are reviewed by Curriculum Management to ensure that the various
components of the curriculum (core requirements, course prerequisites, field of study
curricula, certificate hours, course contact hours, etc.) meet requirements.

The curriculum review conducted by Curriculum Management is officially
documented in Kuali. The reviewed materials are those necessary for submission to
the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. The New Program Approval
Checklist outlines the documentation necessary for curriculum review and further
steps for new, modification and expansions. A separate set of documents is used for
program deactivation in accordance with THECB and SACSCOC, see Deactivation
Checklist. Curriculum outlines are the basis of the business plan and financial
commitment to be developed in Step #5b.

Process for New or Expansion:

1. Curriculum Plan is approved and signed by OEER, campus leadership, and

Workforce Council Vice President of Instruction Co-Chair

Approvals:
• Executive Director, Workforce Development, OEER
• Instructional Dean
• Curriculum Team Dean (if applicable)
• Campus Vice President of Instruction
• President
