This collection consists of the vice provost's (1956-1965), vice chancellor's (1965-1998),
and Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs' files in regards to the development,
maintenance, and revision of academic programing at UWM. The collection primarily consists
of audits and reviews of the various academic programs, performed both inter-departmentally
as well as by outside review boards formed by UWM. There are also a large amount of reviews
created by academic professionals unaffiliated with UWM evaluating the merits of existing
and proposed programs. The specific departments targeted in this review include, but are not
limited to: the Center for Teacher Education; College of Engineering and Applied Science;
College of Letters & Science; Computing Services Division; Division of Urban Outreach;
International Business Center; College of Health Sciences; School of Architecture and Urban
Planning; Lubar School of Business; School of Education; Peck School of the Arts; School of
Information Studies; College of Nursing; and School of Social Welfare.
The Subject Files series consists of those records not related
to any particular department. Minutes of the APCC, as well as of its constituent
subcommittees, may be found in this series, as are numerous files describing the APCC's
efforts to build and rebuild the General Educational Requirements program for
undergraduates. Also in this series is a ten-year plan for UWM's curriculum as a whole
during the 1970s and early 1980s, as well as general correspondence between committee
members.
The Departmental Files series contains all files concerning
individual schools, colleges, and departments. Most of these files include general
curriculum correspondence, audit reports (if applicable), self-study reports, accreditation
files, and files relating to program establishment. Some of the departmental files also
include publicity material from the departments as part of the evaluation of that
department's curriculum.
