Background

Scope and content:

The Florida State University (FSU) Curriculum Committee Records document the discussions of this body from its beginnings in 1931, when it was formed as the Florida State College for Women (FSCW) Curriculum Committee, through 1958. The records include agendas, memoranda, minutes, reports to the FSU Faculty Senate, and resolutions. Topics include definitions of major and minor courses; course renumbering; credit hour requirements; curriculum revision, department reorganizations; new courses and course modifications; and residence requirements, extension, and correspondence work for granting degrees at FSCW.

Biographical / historical:

The Florida State University (FSU) Curriculum Committee first met as the Florida State College for Women (FSCW) Curriculum Committee on January 30, 1931.  It was "authorized to act on all matters pertaining to curriculum revision, interpretation, and unification." Its first chair was Dr. Kathryn Abbey (later Hanna) and the "permanent Secretary of the Committee" was the College's registrar, Simeon Doyle. The FSCW Curriculum Committee continued as the FSU Curriculum Committee after the College's transition to Florida State University in 1947.
