For each major in a degree program, Collin County Community
College (CCCCD) assigns the responsibility for program coordination,
as well as for curriculum development and review, to persons
academically qualified in the field of study according to
the standards of the Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools (SACS). The College assigns faculty members teaching
in the major of Associate of Applied Science degrees oversight
of the discipline and the responsibility to develop curriculum.
In those degree programs for which the institution does
not identify a major, such as transfer disciplines, the
same responsibility applies to the chair of a curricular
area or concentration. In each discipline or curricular
area taught, one or more academically qualified full-time
faculty member is assigned.
Prior to the 2003-2004 academic year, program coordinators
were appointed from the faculty in each discipline. Coordinators
had responsibility for identifying and evaluating qualified
associate faculty, oversight of curriculum within the discipline,
selection of textbooks, and other administrative duties.
The CCCCD Catalog identifies faculty program coordinators
for each academic program (Reference 1).
In Fall 2003, the institution moved to a new administrative
model and assigned first-line responsibility for program
coordination and curriculum development to Department Chairs
and Associate Deans (Reference 2). These
individuals will be identified as such in future catalogs.
Department Chairs and Associate Deans meet the SACS requirements
for faculty credentials in their respective areas of expertise
(Reference 3). A brief biography of
Department Chairs summarizes academic credentials and qualifications
(Reference 4).
