Academic Program and Curriculum Committee (APCC)

The Academic Program and Curriculum Committee (APCC) reviews recommendations concerning requirements and changes in requirements for admission to, continuation in, and graduation from undergraduate programs offered in the UWM schools, colleges, and divisions.

General Education Requirements (GER)

GER REFORM

A new GER policy (see above) was approved in May 2024, which affects the GER distribution requirements (except for Cultural Diversity) and has an implementation date of Fall 2026. The new GER policy does not affect Oral and Written Communication (OWC) and Quantitative Literacy (QL) courses.

The APCC will not approve any more courses following the old distribution requirements.

The APCC will begin working toward the implementation of the new GER requirements in Fall 2024.
