Application Process
and Timeline for Exploration Courses: This following message has been sent via Cobweb Express.
1. In order for the Core Committee to have time to consider

Spring schedule of classes will need to be submitted no later than
September 25; new courses to be included in the Fall schedule
of classes will need to be submitted no later than January 15.
2.
Please find the Standard Application Form in
your Core area below. Core Committee has designed the process
to be manageable for individuals completing applications, while also
encouraging thoughtful reflection regarding the targeted goals and
outcomes for each Core area.
Announcements: The following answer some of the questions concerning
the implementation of Concordia College's new Core Curriculum, Becoming Responsibly
Engaged in the World.
1. Exploration courses will be approved by
the Core Committee as courses, not sections. Multiple-section
Exploration course applications should be submitted by departments, not
by an individual instructor. It is intended that the proposal will
reflect the departmental expectations, which should then be incorporated
by the individual instructors offering sections of that course.
2. Exploration course applications (Standard
Application Forms, available below) will be screened twice: initially by
departments for staffing and departmental viability, secondly by the
Core Committee for comportment with the
Goals for Liberal Learning addressed by
each core area, and for compliance with
the area criteria and learning outcomes (see below) of the core
curriculum Becoming Responsibly Engaged in the World.
3. Core Committee members stand ready
to advise departments and applicants concerning implementation
procedures. Please address any questions you may have to your area

Exploration NK, Natural Science and Mathematics: Doug
