Role of Members

Serving as a member of the Committee on Curriculum, Academic Programs and Policies (CAP2) is a significant responsibility that requires considerable effort and a significant time commitment.  CAP2 is the central school body charged with the design, evaluation, revision, approval and oversight of the curriculum and overall educational program.  The committee makes recommendations to the Dean and his designee, the Vice Dean, regarding the overall leadership, management and implementation of the curriculum.

 

Members of CAP2 are expected to attend each meeting, and to be familiar with the overall NJMS curriculum and educational programs.  Members are expected to advocate on behalf of the school’s educational mission, and not solely for the benefit of sub-populations that exist within the school (i.e., departments, students, faculty…).
