A college curriculum - its breadth and rigor of courses, requirements for degrees
and certificates, and the pathways that attending students take to finish them - is
what defines the educational quality of an institution. At this site faculty, staff,
and administrators at Modesto Junior College can find resources to support the creation,
ongoing review, and management of curriculum - courses, degrees, and certificates
at MJC, in support of the MJC mission.
Mission Statement
The Modesto Junior College Curriculum Committee reviews curriculum and academic policies
to ensure compliance with Title 5 and California Education Code prior to recommendation
to the District Governing Board for final approval. The committee also ensures that
curriculum is sound, comprehensive, and responsive to the evolving needs of our students
as well the academic, business, and local communities. Approved by the Curriculum
Committee (11/18/14)
