The scope of a course is a curriculum decision and as such, is broadly identified through a process of dialogue that involves not only the instructor, but the department, college, and university at large. Although the University’s course approval process is the originating point for content decisions, instructors have latitude within the bounds of the final approved course description in deciding the specific content that will be part of a particular course offering. If the course is part of a sequence that builds on skills and knowledge from a previous course or is standardized across the department, the course will have to include the expected content.
