ACADEMIC PROGRAM APPROVAL

 

                                                                                             CHECKLIST

 

This form is a routing document for the approval of new and revised academic programs.  Page 2 will serve as an attachment to the Faculty Senate agenda.  Proposing department should complete form, attach as a cover page and forward to the college dean. Documentation should include copy of curriculum as it is to appear in the Undergraduate and Graduate Catalog.  Proposals must arrive to the Undergraduate/Graduate Committee by November in order to reach the Faculty Senate by March 1.   Proposals received after this date cannot be implemented the following year nor included in the catalog for that year.

a.  Rationale for creation, revision, or deletion:

1.  Changes in required courses within the major include: 1) conversion of 4, 3-credit practicum courses to 6, 2-credit practicum courses, and 2) replacement of BISC106, Elementary Human Physiology, with BISC207, Introductory Biology I, plus the co-requisite CHEM103, General Chemistry, plus BISC276, Human Physiology, (for which BISC207 and CHEM103 are prerequisites.) These changes are being implemented as part of the program’s ongoing efforts to remain compliant with CAAHEP (Commission on the Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs) accreditation standards.  The athletic training education program faculty also feels that these changes will better position the students for graduate school and the marketplace upon graduation.

2.  The Breadth Requirement of a second writing course outside of the department is being eliminated for the Health and Physical Education major. It has been difficult for students to gain enrollment in such a course due to the limited number of courses offered. Students in the Exercise Science major are required to take HESC 400, Research Methods, which requires an extensive paper with several rewrites. 

3.  There is also a revision in the organization of the Breadth Requirements for the major to eliminate confusion with the Breadth Requirements in the College of Arts and Science. (The new organization of the Breadth Requirements is presented at the end of this document.) This will have no effect on the courses/credit hours required. The total number of credits required for the major remains at 120.
