MSCF Steering Committee


The MSCF program is governed by a Steering Committee composed of a senior faculty member from each of the four participating colleges and an executive director. Program and curriculum modifications are made by the Steering Committee after gathering input from various sources, including students, employers, MSCF alumni, and the MSCF Advisory Board, among others.
