Collin County Community College District (CCCCD) defines
and publishes general education and program/degree/certificate
requirements for all of its programs in a variety of places,
including the CCCCD Catalog (Reference 1)
and the District Web site (Reference 2).
These requirements conform to commonly accepted standards
and practices for higher education. CCCCD adheres to the
Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) policies
and guidelines and the Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools guidelines in the creation of its academic programs.
The THECB guidelines are published in the Academic Course
Guide Manual (ACGM) (Reference 3) and
in the Guidelines for Instructional Programs in Workforce
Education (GIPWE) (Reference 4). The
CCCCD Curriculum Advisory Board (CAB) (Reference
5) reviews proposed curricular changes to ensure the
courses/programs meet these guidelines.
CCCCD follows the guidelines published by the THECB and
participates in the state-wide Common Course Numbering System
to ensure that course credits are accepted by other institutions
in Texas.
In addition, the General Education Outcomes (GEO) Forum
conducted a comprehensive review of the CCCCD general education
core and made recommendations for changes to take place
Fall 2004 (Reference 6). The recommendations
are under review and will be adopted in revised form before
Fall 2004.
