Academic programs are coordinated by the school/department within which they are housed. For each program, the school/department assigns the responsibility for program coordination to an individual or committee of individuals academically qualified in the field. If the program coordination is not otherwise assigned, it is the responsibility of the dean/chair.
In concert with school/department committees the program coordinator shall be responsible for curriculum development and oversight to assure that the program is in harmony with Southern Adventist University’s mission and appropriate within the field. While the program coordination function is typically tied to a major, in some instances an academic program may constitute a curricular area, a specific concentration, or a set of courses designed to meet external requirements which could include transfer to another institution
