a.  Rationale for creation, revision, or  deletion:

 

Reasons for deletion of two courses in the Elementary Education Program, totaling 4 credits:

 

EDUC 186: (1 credit)  Most of the first-year students who take this course already know the basics of operating computers so do not  need this course any longer.  Some material from this course, including spreadsheets and powerpoint, will be added at a more advanced level  to EDUC 286.

 

 

 

DISCIPLINE AREA: (3 CREDITS)    We are cutting the number of these liferal arts courses from 6 to 5 classes because it has become very difficult to find 6 courses in several of the disciplines that our students can take, especially in competition with students who major in these disciplines.  Also, with the addition of a Science Semester for a large number of our students, they will have just four semesters in which to take these courses,  making scheduling extremely difficult.  Our students will still have a total of 8 courses in most discipline areas (3 general studies courses plus 5 discipline area courses), so they will maintain a rigorous academic training.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

b.  Summary of program:

 

 

 

 

 

The delection of 4 credits leaves the BS in Elementary Education with 121 total credits.
