The curriculum planning process varies according to program. Curriculum planning for MIBS rests primarily with the MEBS Faculty Executive Committee, which develops initiatives for curriculum change. Proposals are then forwarded to the faculty of The Darla Moore School of Business, then to the Graduate Council of USC, then, if appropriate, to the Higher Education Commission of the state of South Carolina. The MBA Program's Faculty Executive Committee reviews the curricula and evaluates all recommendations for curriculum changes. This committee continually compares our programs' content and structure to other MBA programs around the world and ensures that accreditation standards continue to be met.
Similar committees are in place for the other specialized master's programs.
All changes in master's program curricula must ultimately be voted upon by The Darla Moore School of Business faculty. The Darla Moore School of Business faculty must vote upon all final changes. Each degree program should be systematically monitored to assess its effectiveness and should be revised to reflect new objectives and to incorporate improvements based on contemporary theory and practice. Undergraduate The planning and implementation processes for the recently revised curriculum served as the model and foundation for ongoing processes of evaluating and monitoring the new program. As the program is phased in, UPEC remains in place as the coordinating group charged with oversight of the program.
