Steps for New Degrees

Timeline Examples for a New Degree Program

The table below may be helpful to understand the approval steps and estimated timeline to implement a new degree or major. Please note that while most approving bodies have set meetings to review and approve a new degree program, it is not guaranteed that your proposal will be placed on the desired agenda; therefore, the timeframe for approval from those bodies is an estimate.

Before developing your program proposal, please contact the Office of Curriculum Services to discuss the process, paperwork and a timeline for implementation specific to your proposal.
