Academic Governance

Point Loma Nazarene University is committed to broad-based participation in decision making as evidenced in the organization of the faculty and administration. Both groups serve, often with student members, on a wide range of councils and committees that deal with administrative and faculty areas of concern. Recommendations are brought to faculty meetings and/or to the administration through the Administrative Cabinet. A complete listing of the committee structure is included in the Faculty Handbook.

In matters of curriculum, the various academic units (education, arts and sciences, and social science and professional studies) propose changes through the Academic Policies Committee, and then on to a general meeting of the faculty acting as a committee of the whole. The Provost provides general direction to these efforts with the assistance of the Vice Provosts. The Academic Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees acts upon matters of policy relative to the academic program.
