Proposing Core Curriculum Courses

NTC faculty are essential in developing and teaching Core Curriculum courses that encourage students to explore a variety of academic pathways. The curriculum challenges students to consider a broad spectrum of perspectives and develop the critical-thinking and communication skills they need to succeed in a complex and ever-changing world. The Core Curriculum sparks intellectual curiosity, and our faculty fan that spark to prepare students for a lifelong journey of academic exploration.

Newcomb-Tulane College welcomes course proposals from faculty for inclusion in the Core Curriculum. Faculty looking to add an NTC Core Curriculum attribute to their course should consider and address the learning outcomes of the relevant attribute in their proposal.

Course proposals for a Core Curriculum attribute should be submitted through the CIM system. Please see the faculty committee page for more information on how to submit a proposal.

Check back at a later date for the final deadlines for spring/summer 2027 and fall 2027. 

The joint NTC-CPS Service Learning Curriculum Committee reviews all service-learning courses to ensure high-quality service-learning experiences for students and ethical, collaborative partnerships with community partners. For more information on how to submit a new service-learning course proposal, we invite you to review the Center for Public Service guidelines.

​​​​​​Faculty interested in teaching a first-year seminar course should submit a new TIDES course proposal form for consideration by the Newcomb-Tulane College Curriculum Committee. Course proposals should be interdisciplinary, current and include all programmatic learning outcomes, which can be found in the Faculty Guidebook.
