The essential elements of a curriculum and syllabus provided below are intended as tools for institutions to utilize when establishing new programs or revising existing programs. Many other useful resources for curriculum development are available on-line, such as those listed below by program. Institutions, however, are also advised to utilize other available resources (other institutional catalogs, advisory committees, etc.) when developing program curriculum. Finally, any suggestions for additional on-line resources that would be helpful to an institution in developing program curricula would be greatly appreciated. Please forward these resources to Dr. Joseph E. Gurubatham, Senior Vice President of Accreditation and Institutional Development.
