Overview
This page is your central resource for all information related to the Institute Curriculum Refresh.
Our mission with this initiative is to streamline, modernize, and realign the curriculum to better serve our goals. We will transform the current list of 23 “areas of expertise” into six comprehensive topic areas. Each class will be assigned to one of these topic areas based on its content.
To achieve this, we will:
- Form six dedicated task forces aligned with the topic areas.
- Review and deliberate on every class within each umbrella area.
- Develop a refreshed syllabus page for every class.
