What is the process for requesting a change in the CIP code for an existing degree program?
Coordinating Board staff will consider requests for changes in the CIP code of a previously-approved degree program on a case-by-case basis. A request may be handled by letter to the Assistant Commissioner for Academic Affairs & Research. Requests should include a justification, including evidence of better alignment of the requested CIP code to describe the content of the degree program authorized by the Coordinating Board, evidence of need for the change, and any implementation costs and how those costs would be met. Information about any changes in the content, curriculum, or core faculty of the program since approval should be included as part of the request. A change in CIP code should never allow for an expanded authority beyond what has been previously granted to the institution; the change should not lead to what could amount to a new degree program with different placement opportunities or significantly different content from the previously approved program.
