The Undergraduate Core Curriculum Committee is readying for its annual October 1 priority review deadline to consider new exploration level (X) courses for the UP Core. These courses are upper division offerings that emphasize interdisciplinary thinking with some grounding in the liberal arts–but they can come from any UP discipline. They should have no pre-requisites outside of UP Core foundation level courses, and can be cross-listed with regular sections for majors / minors.
The proposal submission form is linked on the pilots.up.edu page for the UP Core (along with further information about X courses). The UCCC will review courses at other times in the year, but October 1 is our only annual priority deadline.
Questions can be directed to UP Core Director Andrew Guest (guesta@up.edu).
