About the Non-Substantive Program Modification Application
A Non-substantive Program Modification Form must be submitted for the following changes:
- Any change of less than 25% in contact hours, credit awarded, curriculum content (courses offered),
or program length of a currently approved program;
- A change in the name of an existing program that does not change the overall objective of the program
