Curriculum Development

Process

If you are interested in developing and/or redesigning a course, talk to your department coordinator and dean for options and ideas.

To see existing master course outlines and supplemental documents, go to Inside.SeattleColleges.edu, and look under Instruction --> Automated Course Approval --> Course Inventory. If your course is not listed, contact the District - Daihong Chen, a research and analyst, Daihong.Chen@seattlecolleges.edu, 206-934-4034.
