The curriculum offered at Oxnard College is managed by the Curriculum Committee with support from the Office of the Vice President of Academic Affairs.

The role of these two groups is to ensure the curriculum is academically sound, comprehensive, compliant, and responsive to the evolving needs of the academic, business, and local community, and in fulfillment of the college’s mission.

The Curriculum Committee meets on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday from 2:30-4pm. Meetings are mostly held in the Student Services Conference room.
