Rationale for creation, revision, or
deletion:
This curriculum revision includes a
change in the name of the major from Leadership and Consumer Economics to
Organizational Leadership, as well as a change in requirements. This name
change, along with the accompanying curriculum changes, more accurately
represent the major's programmatic direction and our responsibility as the
academic home of the Leadership Education at
Name Change
The Department of Consumer Studies
(CNST) is the academic home of the University's leadership education
program. Specifically, we have the
responsibility to develop and conduct academic programs for the study of
leadership at the undergraduate level at the
Curriculum Revision
There are two major changes to the
curriculum. First, the Department of Consumer Studies is incorporating a common
set of required courses for the three majors in the department. These courses insure that all students in
Consumer Studies, regardless of their majors, develop a common set of
competencies and knowledge related to the study of consumers that better
prepares them for professional practice. This common set of courses that are
revisions to the current curriculum are: CNST 101 Understanding Consumers, CNST
110 Seeing and Being in a Visual World, and CNST 490 Senior Capstone. The
second major revision to the curriculum is the replacement of 18 restricted
elective credits with specific course requirements. Currently, the Department
has 15 courses on the books which students could potentially choose among to
fulfill the 18 elective credit requirement. In reality, many of those courses
are rarely offered, due to lack of resources.
Replacing the restricted elective requirement with specific courses
gives much more direction to students, provides more focus to the program, and
enables the department to better allocate its teaching resources. There are some additional minor changes, that
relect the need for our students to gain more competency in languages and
accounting. Letters of support have been
obtained from the Chair of Foreign Languages and the Chair of Accounting. Additionally, the proposed name change and
curriculum revisions have been shared with the Director of the
b.
Summary of program changes:
1.
One COMM elective course has been replaced by CNST 209
Methods and Media for Presentation (revised CNST 325 Presentation Techniques).
2.
A Humanities elective course has been replaced by a
modern foreign language course (letter of permission from Department of Foreign
Languages attached).
3.
A restricted elective from ACCT, BUAD, ECON, FINC, POSC
341, POSC 453, or POSC 455 has been replaced by an accounting requirement of either ACCT 200, ACCT 207 or CNST 217
(letter of permission from Department of Accounting attached).
4.
The number of credits within CNST has been increased
from 33 to 36.
5.
CNST 101 Understanding Consumers will be required
instead of CNST 200 Consumer Economics.
6.
18 elective credits within the major have been replaced
by specific course requirements: CNST 110 Visual World; CNST 201 Intro to
Consumer Policy (new course); CNST 311 Topics in Resource Management (new
course); CNST 401 Topics in Consumer Policy Analysis; CNST 411 Topics in
Leadership Dynamics (new course); and CNST 490 Senior Capstone (new course).
7.
The second writing requirement has been removed as a
separate 3 credit course requirement; instead, one course in the curriculum
must fulfill the second writing requirement (similar to the multicultural
requirement).

The 207 has more seats so pushing them there would be easier for us to
handle - go ahead with your plan; if the seats are not available in 200 -
where the sections fill quickly - we will allow them to take 207.

That's 160 majors over all 4 years. However, the bulk of them are pretty
evenly spread over sophomore-seniors (relatively few freshmen). I imagine
that most students will choose either our own CNST 217 or ACCT 200. However,
there may be a small number (probably less than 20 over the 4 years) who
would choose the 207. If possible, though, we'd like to have that option
open to them.
