RRES 635 (3) Methods of Enviro. Interp. PMC 635 (3) Methods of Enviro. Interp.
RATIONALE: The change in prefixes from RRES to PMC reflects the simplification and consolidation
of curricular components. PMC curriculum accreditation requirements for the
preliminary field experience have relaxed, now requiring a minimum of 100 hours, down
from an original 240. The requirement for at least 12 hours of PMC (prefixed) core
courses is driven by assessment measurement logic; students cannot be expected to apply
professional knowledge, skills and abilities if they have not been required to take a
minimum of core content.
IMPACT: No impacts to other departments.
EFFECTIVE DATE: Fall 2014

Expedited Curriculum Changes
FROM: TO: The master of business administration (MBA) program is
designed to provide professional business education to
individuals who wish to pursue a variety of
administrative careers in both the private and public
sectors. The theme of the curriculum is intrapreneurship
which can be defined as an “entrepreneurial attitude and
approach to management and problem-solving within any
organization, large or small.” Throughout the program,
the focus is “what one needs to know to run a business”
while developing the ability to analyze all types of
business situations and propose appropriate, creative and
financially sound solutions. The curriculum combines
conceptual, analytical and experiential approaches to
learning both in and out of the classroom. Once the
foundation of basic problem solving tools and knowledge
in each functional area is established, the program
deepens the interdisciplinary understanding of problem-
solving approaches and their functional, ethical,
environmental and international ramifications. The
program then culminates with a required capstone
practicum. This practicum makes the K-State MBA
unique in the area, by providing an interdisciplinary,
consulting-type of experience for all students in their last
semester of study.
The MBA curriculum is a 45 credit hour program
designed to be completed in two years of full-time study
or four years of part-time, typically evening, study. Four
components comprise the curriculum:
Business core (27 credit hours)
Integrated Core (6 credit hours)
Set of Electives (12 credit hours – see below)
On-Campus students may choose to pursue a
prespecified, focused Concentration in lieu of the Set of
Electives. Students pursuing a masters degree in another
field may choose to use 9 credit hours from their other
Masters as the Set of Electives in the MBA. Thus, a dual
Masters/MBA can be obtained with an additional 39
credit hours.
Both on-campus and online students with more than three
years of approved full-time work experience may choose
to waive six credit hours of electives.
Online students must have three years of full-time
approved work experience and should take GENBA 875
(1 credit) International Business Experience and GENBA
800 (2 credits) Professional Development and one three-
hour elective in place of the Set of Electives.
The Integrated Core will be composed of a three-credit
hour theory component with a three credit hour practicum
component. The full time program of study can be
completed in 22 months.

Set of Electives (12 credit hours – see below)
On-Campus students may choose to pursue a
prespecified, focused Concentration in lieu of the Set of
Electives. Students pursuing a masters degree in another
field may choose to use 9 credit hours from their other
Masters as the Set of Electives in the MBA. Thus, a dual
Masters/MBA can be obtained with an additional 39
credit hours.
Both on-campus and online students with more than three
years of approved full-time work experience may choose
to waive six credit hours of electives.
Online students must have three years of full-time
approved work experience and should take GENBA 875
(1 credit) International Business Experience and GENBA
800 (2 credits) Professional Development and one three-
hour elective in place of the Set of Electives.
The Integrated Core will be composed of a three-credit
hour theory component with a three credit hour practicum
component. The full time program of study can be
completed in 22 months.
Before beginning the MBA coursework, students must
55
acquire basic competency in mathematical analysis,
statistics and economic theory and analysis. These
competencies may be acquired through specific
undergraduate course work with the number of courses
required depending on the applicant’s prior academic
work. This basic competency coursework may be taken
after admission to the MBA program during the student’s
first semester.
Once admitted, MBA students are responsible for making
themselves aware of Graduate School policies and
deadlines.
Areas of concentration – Available only to on-
campus students
K-State’s MBA offers its students the opportunity to gain
general business knowledge as well as develop a focus in

management, and technology entrepreneurship. Specific
courses have been carefully developed to complement
one another and best meet the needs of our students.
Students wishing to complete specific concentrations will
be restricted to designated course work. MBA students
may not take a concentration in accounting. Students
interested in accounting should enroll in the Master of
Accountancy (MAcc) program.
Enterprise information systems
This area of concentration is to teach students how
enterprise-wide information systems and key information
technologies, such as the Internet, help organizations
reinvent their business processes and gather information
in support of related key strategic business initiative.
Students will get an indepth look at an enterprise-wide
information system while focusing on systems design,
evaluation and control.

the broad MBA education with specific skills necessary
to be a successful financial analyst or manager. Students
will specialize in controlling the resource investments
required to support an enterprise’s operating activities,
planning and negotiating appropriate financing
arrangements to support these investment requirements,
and managing the risks inherent in an enterprise’s
investment and financing activities.

Department of Architecture (Master of Architecture Program-Non-Baccalaureate Track) Effective Date: Fall 2014 Impact on Other Units: None Rationale: The department recommends the following changes to the building technology courses: 1) reduction of ESA
courses from 3 to 2 and increase of BCSA courses from 1 to 2; and 2) movement of courses within curriculum as shown on attached curriculum guide. The changes are suggested based on the following considerations: changing approaches and emphases on building technology in the academy and in contemporary architectural practice; strategizing the delivery of technological content to students, taking into account studio learning objectives and overall student course loads (in particular the consideration of delivering technical coursework in relation to ADS V); and the resources of the department in regard to administering our professional curriculum.

Department of Architecture (Master of Architecture Program-Post Baccalaureate Track) Effective Date: Fall 2014 Impact on Other Units: None Rationale: The Department of Architecture’s professional Master of Architecture degree is highly desired by a wide range
of constituencies, yet at present only offered to students with little or no college experience-usually, students entering the program are high school graduates. The professional program, however, attracts quite a bit of interest from other constituencies, including those with significant college credentials. The main rationale for including a post-baccalaureate entry point is to tap into this broader pool of potential students. It is anticipated that this would increase the quality of our student population.

Department of Interior Architecture & Product Design (Master of Interior Architecture & Product Design Program-Post Baccalaureate Track) Effective Date: Fall 2014 Impact on Other Units: None Rationale: The entry point for students in the current MIAPD non-baccalaureate degree is at the freshman level. In the
early years of the program the students focus on undergraduate coursework and then in their fourth year they make a transition to graduate school. After a total of 5+ years they then graduate with the MIAPD. By adding a post-baccalaureate track to the existing MIAPD degree curriculum, a second entry point is created that allows those who have already met general undergraduate manner without the general education requirements. The current non-baccalaureate MIAPD track will remain as it is currently; the additional post-baccalaureate track will contain identical graduate credit and graduate course requirements. Both tracks (non- and post-baccalaureate) of the MIAPD are accredited professional degrees through CIDA and NASAD.

Overview Since the founding of the College in 1963, the faculty has based their relationships on the mutually held realization that the practice of any one of the design professions benefits from the interaction of their varied approaches to (re)shaping the built environment. The interdisciplinary doctoral program takes advantage of the diverse but interrelated nature of the college’s design and planning disciplines. This program represents the comprehensive nature of our professional community and reflects the manner by which our faculty and the profession actually interact in practice. A central aim of this doctoral program is to support advanced graduate research utilizing a comprehensive interdisciplinary view of design and planning to better contribute to a more livable and ecologically sustainable society. This program provides an advanced, interdisciplinary doctoral degree supported by faculty members from the Departments of Architecture, Interior Architecture and Product Design, and Landscape Architecture / Regional and Community Planning. The major academic objective of this doctoral program is to prepare professionals and researchers who wish to teach at the graduate level or conduct research, design, and/or policy for private or public institutions, including governmental agencies, design and planning firms, and corporations. In various ways, student research will examine how the various aspects of design and planning might contribute to a more livable and sustainable environment and society for Kansas, the United States, and the world at large.

AREAS OF EMPHASIS AREAS OF EMPHASIS To draw on the wide-ranging expertise of the College of Architecture, Planning and Design (CAPD) faculty, the PhD offers the following design and research concentrations: design; planning; sustainability; and place making. The areas of specialization will focus the students on developing conceptual and problem-solving skills that have application to practical real-world situations involving design and planning - for example, designing more livable communities, planning for more efficient energy and resource use, or restoring natural environments. The four concentrations of the doctoral program are broad and encompass the interdisciplinary and complex nature of the design and planning professions. By their very nature, these four concentrations are interconnected, and this interconnection provides a topical and educational venue for interdisciplinary participation and collaboration between doctoral students and the diverse core and graduate faculty of CAPD.

Design emphasizes the role of the designed environment in contributing to human well being and provides opportunities, through practice and research, to explore issues that range from design pedagogy to design production, history, and theory.
Planning considers the theory and methods of public decision-making and the development of models and tools to understand and improve decision-making processes, both public and private.
Sustainability explores ways by which the design and planning professions can better provide peoples’ environmental and resource needs without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Place Making explores the importance of place in human life and considers ways by which design and policy might better make physical environments that work as robust human places and evoke a powerful sense of place.

EDLEA 828. Scholarly Orientation to Graduate Studies. (3) I, S. This course offers graduate students
opportunities to learn how to write in a scholarly way, manage bibliography, understand formatting and
citational guidelines of American Psychological Association, conduct index-driven library searches for
scholarly sources, and develop an understanding of academic standards of graduate studies in education.
IMPACT: There is no negative impact to any college of audience. The impact has implications for reducing
faculty time to mentor students in basic skills required to perform in classes in a scholarly way. This way
faculty will not have to invest class time to teach these skills and students will come to class prepared with these
skills. Faculty mentoring can focus on more advanced topics while students learn foundational skills in this
class.
RATIONALE: This is an introductory course for all graduate students, which introduces them to APA
guidelines, bibliographic management, and understanding the scholarly processes of writing. These skills are
expected of students, yet it takes up class time in other courses to mentor students in these critical areas. Often
faculty members take their own time to mentor students in these areas and it is time consuming. If students are
taught these skills early on in their programs then they can perform better in classes and faculty mentoring time
can be shifted to more advanced skills.

EDLEA 948. Data Representation and Writing in Qualitative Research. (3) S. Topics covered in this course
would vary each semester based on students’ writing projects. Topics may include, but not limited to, building
methodological arguments, connecting theoretical and methodological frameworks, navigating issues in various
genres of data representation, triangulation, and aligning findings with research purpose and questions. Course
is repeatable. Pre-requisite: EDLEA 838.
IMPACT: There is no negative impact to any college of audience. The impact has implications for reducing
faculty time to mentor students in skills required to document data analysis processes and representation of
findings. Additionally, this course will also help students in Educational Leadership who needs guidance in
completing their proposals. Further, this course has implications in helping students finish their proposals and
dissertations in a timely manner through accountability, partnering with other students, and bringing
deliverables to class.
RATIONALE: Students who work with qualitative research often struggle with the analysis and write-up of
findings, detailing their processes, completing their proposals, dissertations, or other writing projects they have.
This course is designed to assist students in their writing projects that are informed by qualitative inquiry. This
course offers the students a paced schedule, connecting with exemplars, and informing their writing and
completing a time-sensitive writing project that requires understanding of qualitative inquiry and data
representation in a scholarly way.

ADD DMP 858. Introduction to Infectious Disease Modeling for Animal Health. (3) S. Alt yrs. This is a graduate-level course focused on understanding and implementing infectious disease models using Excel and Monte-Carlo Statistical Methods as well as Spatially Explicit Stochastic models. The course is focused on food animal diseases using a mixture of lecture, scientific literature evaluation, discussion and hands on computer lab exercises.
RATIONALE: Mathematical models are valuable tools in modern livestock infectious disease research, however they
are uniquely susceptible to misuse. The number of modeling papers in the referred literature has expanded dramatically in recent years and the ability to understand and interpret these studies is important to graduates. We will discuss the need and value of disease models in answering questions not amenable to experimental inquiry and the need to critically interpret disease model literature.
The course will focus on examples related to food animal diseases and is suited for students in fields with an interest in the application, interpretation, and understanding of infectious disease models. The course will be a mixture of lecture, discussion and hands on computer lab exercises. Principles of modeling will be presented in lectures, modeling literature will be read and discussed to illustrate key concepts and infectious disease modeling exercises will be completed to develop basic modeling skills.
I have taught this course twice as a problems course in 2010 and 2012 to 4-6 students. I would like to offer it in alternate summers beginning in 2014. Impact (i.e. if this impacts another college/unit): Arts and Sciences, Statistics

Human Nutrition (Ph.D.) Human Nutrition (Ph.D.)
Admission
Students entering the Human Nutrition graduate program are expected to have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution. Admission to graduate study at Kansas State University is granted on three bases: full standing, provisional, or probational. Recommendations concerning an applicant’s qualifications and admission are made to the dean of the Graduate School by the department. The final decision regarding admission of an applicant is made by the dean of the Graduate School.
Admission in full standing requires a minimum grade point average of 3.0 (B average) in the last two years of undergraduate work in an institution whose requirements for the bachelor’s degree are equivalent to those of Kansas State University. Applicants with grade point averages below 3.0 will be considered for probational admission provided there is evidence that the applicant has the ability to do satisfactory graduate work. Provisional admission may be granted to applicants who have subject deficiencies in undergraduate preparation or if there is uncertainty in evaluating the transcript. Normally, deficiencies will be made up by enrolling in courses for undergraduate credit. Entering students should have had college algebra, biology, organic chemistry, a junior/senior level course in human nutrition, and other prerequisites for human nutrition courses.
Other admission requirements include a minimum GRE score of 1000 (verbal and quantitative); copies of transcripts; 3 letters of recommendation; application; and statement of objectives. TOEFL scores (>550) are required of all international applicants.
Applications are evaluated by the admissions committee. If the minimum requirements for admission are met applications are reviewed by graduate faculty.

Graduate study demands a high degree of
intellectual aptitude. It presupposes a broad
preparation and involves the acquisition of
specialized knowledge. These facts should be
reflected in the graduate student's program of study.
Credits that were earned more than six years prior to
the semester in which the program of study is
approved cannot be accepted.
D.1 Course Levels and Programs
Master's students should earn a significant majority
of their credit hours in courses numbered 700 or
above. Therefore, of the 30 to 32 credit hours
normally required for the master's program of study
at least 18 hours should be at the 700 level and
above, including the thesis/research and the
report/problems hours required by the thesis and
report options (see Chapter 2.A). Courses at the
600-level may be included, but 500-level courses in
the student's major area are expected to have been
completed as undergraduate prerequisites to
graduate study or as undergraduate deficiency
courses assigned upon admission. The use of 500-
level supporting courses in master's programs is
therefore restricted as follows: (1) No course in the
student's major area may be at the 500 level, and (2)
normally no more than 6 credit hours may be at the

D.6 Transfer of Credit
Kansas State University accepts graduate credit
from another institution only under the following
conditions:
1. The other institution is accredited by the
cognizant regional accrediting association to
offer graduate degree programs appropriate to
the level of the credit to be transferred;
2. The credit is fully acceptable to the other
institution in satisfaction of its own advanced
degree requirements; and
3. The credit is applicable to the student's
program of study for an advanced degree at
Kansas State University.
The program of study should consist solely of
courses directly related to the master's degree.
Under normal circumstances, graduate credit
transferred from other institutions may not exceed
10 credit hours for the master's degree, and then
only for courses graded B or better. Credits that
were earned more than six years prior to the
semester in which the program of study is approved

courses taught by regular members of the Kansas
State University graduate faculty or by others
approved by specific action of the Graduate Council
and the Faculty Senate. The department offering the
course must obtain approval in advance from the
Dean of the Graduate School and from the Graduate
Council. The request for approval must include
documentation sufficient to demonstrate that the
quality of instruction will be equivalent to that of
on-campus offerings.
D.8 Off-Campus Research
Special difficulties arise in guiding graduate
students when they are engaged in protracted off-
campus research, whether that research is in the
field, in the laboratory, or in the library. Therefore,
supervisory committees must take adequate steps to
ensure appropriate guidance. As a minimal
requirement, the student must submit to the
supervisory committee a well formulated research
plan, including objectives and methodology, and the
committee must review and approve the plan before
the student departs for the research site and indicate
approval on the program of study. In addition, the
supervisory committee may require:
1. That the major professor and/or a competent
local authority who can reliably guide the
student provide continuing on-site supervision.
2. That the student provide the supervisory
committee with frequent, periodic estimates of
performance and progress. The committee may
also require that these be authenticated by a
competent local authority.
3. That the major professor carry out local
inspections of the student's activities.
Regardless of the location at which the research is
conducted, the final oral examination will normally
be given on the Manhattan campus. Exceptions can
be made if requested by the student, recommended
by the supervisory committee, and approved by the
Department Head or Graduate Program Director
and the Dean of the Graduate School. In the case of
an examination in which the participants are not all
in the same location, any technology used to
conduct the examination must support simultaneous

D.1 Course Levels
Doctoral students should earn a significant majority of
their course work credit hours that are required by their
programs of study in courses numbered 800 or higher.
Although supervisory committees have considerable
latitude in providing an appropriate program of study for
their students, they are encouraged to follow these
guidelines:
1. Of the 24 to 30 hours of course work credit hours
beyond the master's degree normally required by the
supervisory committee, 15 credit hours should be at
the 800-level or above, in addition to doctoral
research credit hours (see Chapter 3.A).
2. For course work beyond the master's degree, no
more than 6 credit hours of 500-level courses are
permitted in a doctoral program. No 500-level
course taken in the student's major field of study,
e.g., Department, may appear in the program of

field, at another institution. The degree sought at
Kansas State University is subject to the same
provisions for transfer of credit as a first degree.
Exception:
a. For students concurrently enrolled in the DVM
program and a Doctoral program, a maximum of
12 graduate credit hours from the College of
Veterinary Medicine DVM curriculum may be
applied to their Doctoral program of study.
b. For students who have not yet earned a
bachelor's degree and are enrolled in the DVM
program and a Doctoral program the Doctoral
degree shall be awarded concurrently with the
98
doctorate degree in their 90-hour PhD program.
D.6 Transfer of Credit
1. General conditions: Kansas State University
accepts toward a doctoral degree graduate credit
from another institution only under the following
general conditions:
a. The other institution is accredited by the
cognizant regional accrediting association to
offer graduate degree programs appropriate to
the level of the credit to be transferred;
b. The credit is fully acceptable to the other
institution in satisfaction of its own advanced
degree requirements; and
c. The credit is applicable to the student's
program of study for an advanced degree at
Kansas State University.
2. Master's degrees: Students who hold a master's
degree may request transfer of up to 30 hours of
that degree toward a doctoral degree. The number
of hours accepted depends on the relevance of the
course work to a doctoral degree. Students with a
master's degree in an area different from that in
which they intend to seek a doctoral degree may
expect to transfer far fewer than the maximum 30
hours allowed.
3. Other credit: Students may also request to apply
graduate credit earned at other accredited
institutions toward a doctorate at Kansas State
University under the following limitations:
a. Students who have not earned a master's
degree may ask to transfer up to 10 hours of
master's or doctoral-level work taken
elsewhere. A graduate program may request
additional credit be transferred for students in
their doctoral program. Graduate programs
granted such an exemption to the normal
transfer limit, will present evidence of quality
of the students' programs of study during
periodic program reviews.
b. Students who have transferred credit from a
master's degree (up to the maximum of 30
DVM.
c. Subject to the recommendation of the
supervisory committee, Ddoctoral students with
professional doctorate degrees (DVM, MD, etc.)
may include a maximum of 12 graduate credit
hours from a professional doctorate degree in
their 90-hour PhD program. As an earned
degree, the transfer credit is not subject to the six
year time limit.

to 10 more hours of transfer credit for
doctoral-level work. These hours must
represent credit earned beyond a master's
degree, even when the master's program
included more than 30 hours. A graduate
program may request additional credit be
transferred for students in their doctoral
program. Graduate programs granted such an
exemption to the normal transfer limit will

c. Courses with the grade of C or lower are not
acceptable for transfer unless they already
form part of the candidate's master's degree
received at another college or university.
4. Credits that were earned more than six years
prior to the semester in which the program of study
is approved cannot be transferred.
D.7 Research Outside the Program
Research conducted outside an academic program cannot
be accepted for credit as part of a program of study.
D.8 Off-Campus Research
Special difficulties arise in guiding graduate students
when they are engaged in protracted off-campus
research, whether that research is in the field, in the
laboratory, or in the library. Therefore, supervisory
committees must take adequate steps to ensure
appropriate guidance. As a minimal requirement, the
student must submit to the supervisory committee a well
formulated research plan, including objectives and
methodology, and the committee must review and
approve the plan before the student departs for the
research site and indicate approval on the program of
study. In addition, the supervisory committee may
require:
1. that the major professor and/or a competent local
authority who can reliably guide the student provide
continuing on-site supervision.
