The University Core Development Committee (UCDC) is charged to develop the core program to be approved by the Provost. The committee helps departments develop their core programs and recommends to the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences courses to be included in the core curriculum. The UCDC provides an annual report to the Provost on the status of the core curriculum and is composed of eight elected members serving three-year terms: five from Arts and Sciences and one each from Education, Management and Nursing. Three A&S members are elected from the three divisions of the College (NSMCS, SSH, Hum), and two are elected at large. The Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and the Director of the Core Curriculum (an appointed Arts and Sciences faculty member) serve ex officio. The Dean of A&S is Chairperson of the Committee.
