The Curriculum Committee was responsible for the academic curriculum and programming of the college, with responsibilities for making recommendations regarding curriculum planning, review of programs, policy development, and general supervision of practices, requirements, and services affecting academic affairs.

The Curriculum Review Committee (1969-1970) was responsible for a thorough review of the College's curriculum and for making recommendations for curricular changes.  The review resulted in the Committee's "A Proposed Curriculum for Berea College"(August 1969).
