| Submitting New Degree Programs or Certificates to the State of Florida |
*New degree programs or certificates identified through the program review process can be proposed as new programs. The first step is to submit the normal paperwork for creating a new program through the Palm Beach State curriculum process (Palm Beach State Deans' Council review, Curriculum Committee Review, Vice President Academic Affairs review). If the new program or certificate is approved through the Palm Beach State Curriculum Review Process, the following documents will need to be submitted to the Florida Department of Education Workforce Development office for authorization and inclusion in the state program inventory.

- 4. Program Outline – Course list that will constitute the degree program or certificate.

The entire package is submitted to the Florida Department of Education Workforce Development Office of the Department of Education by Academic Services. Academic Services will work with the cluster creating the program or certificate to facilitate the process and ensure that the package is complete. This process can take from 3 months to a year to complete.
