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)      The proposed conversion of Figure Skating Science from a concentration within the major to a minor enables converting several courses now listed as Concentration Requirements for Biomechanics and Exercise Physiology to Major requirements. These include BISC 276 or BISC 306, HESC 310, and HESC 400.

2)      Add HESC 205, Freshman Seminar in Exercise Science to the major requirements in keeping with the new General Education requirements.

3)      Delete HESC 210, Safety, First Aid, and Emergency Care, as a required course, because the content of this course is not directly related to the major and is not needed by all students in the major.

4)      Replace HESC 350, Basic Concepts in Kinesiology, with HESC 375, Neuromechanical Basis of Human Movements, as a major requirement. HESC 375 was developed last year as a course that better bridges the gap than HESC 350 between the required courses in anatomy and biomechanics for students in this major.

5)      Convert STAT 200 from a concentration requirement for Biomechanics and for Exercise Physiology to a major requirement. (This course was not a major requirement previously, only because it was not required of the Figure Skating Science concentration.)
