Texas Colleges Begin Reshaping Core Curriculum Under New State Law

Public colleges and universities in Texas are reviewing nearly 13,000 core curriculum courses to comply with a new state law, Senate Bill 37, and a conservative push in higher education. This initiative aims to ensure courses are 'foundational' and emphasize usefulness in life and the workforce, potentially reshaping instruction across the state and influencing what professors teach and what students learn. Boards must certify their offerings by January 1, 2027.
