Proposals for new or modified Core courses will only be accepted in the fall semester, although individual faculty members and chairs can consult with the Director of the Core Curriculum at any time.  A call for proposals will be made by the Director in August; as per university regulations, the deadline for all proposals (for new courses or course modifications) is 6 October 2026. Faculty should collaborate with their chairs in developing the course proposals.

In Fall 2026, the MCC Committee will review all courses listed in the Expanding Our Horizons Discovery theme and so we will only consider proposals related to Expanding Our Horizons. The other themes will be reviewed in the coming years. 

Proposals require submission (in a single document, please) of both a syllabus reflecting the ways in which the course fulfills the purpose of the Discovery Tier, ESSV2, or WRIT requirements and one of the following proposal forms: 

• 2026 Expanding Our Horizons Course Review Form
• 2026 Engaging Social Systems and Values 2 Course Proposal Form
• 2026 Writing Intensive Course Proposal Form

Courses currently in the the Expanding Our Horizons theme, ESSV2, or WRIT categories can be submitted for other parts of the MCC through a Course Modification.

Queries should be directed to the Director of the Marquette Core Curriculum.
