The SMFA Curriculum Committee continuously evaluates the SMFA curriculum as a whole, focusing on the BFA program. The committee's business includes vetting new courses and reviewing linked courses, team teaching, foundational skills, & directed studies. The committee is also responsible for the SMFA block schedule and may make adjustments as needed.

Forms and Documentation

The following forms may be filled in online and submitted electronically. Once filled in and submitted, the form will be automatically routed to the appropriate department chair/program director, and once the department chair/program director approves, the form will be sent to the Curriculum Committee.

If you encounter any difficulties with this new submission system, please contact the Assistant Director of Academic & Curriculum Administration at Laurel.Wero@tufts.edu

New courses must run as Special Topics three times before they will be considered for a permanent course number in the catalog.

A permanent course number must be proposed for Special Topics courses if it is to continue running after the initial three offerings.

If a course is cancelled due to under-enrollment three times within a four-year period, it will be removed from the catalog.

Please review Guidelines and Procedures for Submitting Requests to the Curricula Committee.
