Program Development

The program development team is available to assist faculty and provide resources in the creation of new programs or to review existing curriculum in order to support our students, strengthen enrollment and meet community needs. We also identify the potential for high-demand programs where the college has the capacity. For more information on program development, see below. To share program ideas please reach out to the Program Development Coordinator.
