Academic Governance

Colorado Technical University is proud of its strong tradition of academic governance. Faculty are at the center of academic governance and have many opportunities to share in governance and participate in decision-making processes across the university, including completion of surveys across a wide variety of University experiences. 

The University utilizes a variety of standing committees through which academic governance occurs. These standing committees allow for representation from individuals throughout the University to support comprehensive perspectives. All proposals, policies, curriculum, assessments, coordination, and decisions are governed through standing committees. Committees are tiered with the highest level of academic governance at CTU being the University Academic Leadership Committee. As a key stakeholder in the University, students may also be nominated and selected to participate in several standing committees.
