Experimental Courses

Designating courses as “Experimental” permits the temporary offering of new courses not appearing on the official course lists of the University thus making it possible for these courses to be offered experimentally while being evaluated. Experimental courses may be offered in accord with the following norms:

1. Experimental courses may be offered with a value of from 1 to 6 credits per course.
2. Experimental courses must be authorized by the director of the department, dean of faculty, if applicable, and by the dean of academic affairs.
3. After an experimental course has been offered for two academic years, it must be evaluated by the department, the dean of faculty, if applicable, and by the dean of academic affairs, in order to determine if it becomes a regular course. If the recommendation is favorable, the resolution of the new course will be sent to the Academic Senate.
