Curriculum
FIT’s Office for Curriculum provides guidance to faculty and academic departments on revising and developing course curricula, undergraduate and graduate credit degree programs, and certificates. Guided by regulations from the U.S. Dept. of Education and New York State Education Department, Curriculum team members work collaboratively with academic and administrative offices to assist faculty in meeting state, regional, federal and national higher education expectations while designing and implementing innovative curricula.
The Office also assists faculty in preparing materials for review by the College-wide Curriculum Committee, and with the Registrar's Office regarding the implementation of new curricular items or curriculum revisions.
