The Independent Campus curriculum for the Pancasila and Civic Education Study Program (PPKn) was prepared based on the Strategic Plan of the Faculty of Social Sciences (FSC) and the Yogyakarta State University (UNY) Strategic Plan for 2020-2025 by considering the dynamics of very fast change entering the industrial era 4.0 and the era of society. 5.0. These two eras brought the consequences of changes in various aspects such as economic, social, political, cultural, and employment which ultimately resulted in the demand for changes to the curriculum of study programs. This era clearly requires the presence of new human resource capacities, far exceeding the previously required competencies. Creativity and innovation are the keywords to succeed and achieve progress in the future era.

In addition to the strategic plan, changes in the vision, mission, goals, and strategic objectives of Faculty of Social Sciences (FSC) are also the basics for developing the curriculum for the Independent Campus of the Civics Study Program. The revision of the vision and mission of UNY, contained in Permenristekdikti Number 35 of 2017, article 29 concerning the UNY Statute, was adjusted to the grand design of UNY to answer the demands of the era of education. The regulation stipulates that the schemes that students can choose from include three patterns, namely Patterns 512, 611, and 602. These patterns guarantee the right to study outside the study program.
