MINUTES – Minutes of September 30, 2016

ANNOUNCEMENTS

1. UCC will do an electronic vote on Monday 10/10 for a ‘brief set of 10/7 minutes’ if there are courses that have

an effective term of spring 2017. A full set of minutes will be handled as usual on 10/14.

2. Each College’s representative to the Committee on Scholarship, Research, and Graduate Education

(CoSRGE)will be put into the workflow (for information, not approval), so they will be aware of graduate

programs including certificates before they are on the COSRGE agenda for their monthly meeting. This may

increase awareness on their part. The Chair, Bill Sanford, has asked about the ‘rollback’ feature in CIM as they

are seeing some proposals that ‘need work’.

3. Faculty Council approved UCC minutes of 8/19, 8/26, 9/2, 9/9, and 9/16 at their October 4th meeting.

4. Effective Fall 2015, two subtopics were approved for STAT 511, so STAT 511 as a standalone course should

have been deactivated. Inadvertently, STAT 511 was left active and is currently listed in several programs and

courses in the catalog. For each program and course that lists STAT 511, we need to clarify if STAT 511 should

be replaced with “STAT 511A or STAT 511B” or if only one or the other would be appropriate.

STAT 511A: Design and Data Analysis for Researchers I: R Software

STAT 511B: Design and Data Analysis for Researchers I: SAS Software

Certificate in Ethics and Society Link to CIM

Reason for

Request:

This certificate is a response to the growing demand for ethics education from students in many different

majors across campus. Until now, a comprehensive education in ethics was only available from within

the Philosophy major or minor, which also required students to take many courses unrelated to ethics.

This certificate has been developed to provide students from any major with the necessary background

and skills to do advanced work in ethics without requiring them to do unrelated coursework in

Philosophy.

Department of Philosophy

Certificate in World Philosophies and Religions Link to CIM

Reason for

Request:

This certificate is a response to the growing demand from students for an education in philosophy that

explores philosophical perspectives beyond those within the Western tradition. The Philosophy

Department has had a lot of interest in such courses from students in other majors, but until now has only

offered Global Philosophies as a concentration within a philosophy major. Many students with an

interest in this area do not have room for a second major in Philosophy. This certificate has been

designed to provide students from any major with the background and skills necessary for exploring a

globally diverse group of philosophical traditions without requiring them to major in Philosophy.

Minor in General Philosophy Link to CIM

Reason for

Request:

This is part of the Philosophy Department's restructuring of our major and minor requirements to make

them more in line with contemporary disciplinary norms and curricula at our peer institutions. We are

replacing our two highly structured minors with a more flexible minor and subdiscipline-specific

certificates. The changes here will produce the more flexible minor; it will replace our current General

Philosophy and Religious Studies minors. (Proposals to delete the Religious Studies minor and introduce

2 certificates will be submitted separately.) The previous minors were based on now-outdated

conceptions of which areas of philosophy were central to the field. The flexible minor still requires

classes that are currently regarded as central, but allows for more flexibility in the upper division

courses, to reflect a more diverse contemporary understanding of the nature of the field.

Students are required to receive at least a C (2.000) C- (1.670) in each Philosophy course required for the Minor

major or minor in Philosophy. The minimum scholastic average acceptable for graduation is 2.000, computed

only for courses attempted at CSU.

Major Changes to Existing Programs

College of Health and Human Sciences Effective Spring 2017

Department of Health and Exercise Science

Major in Health and Exercise Science, Health Promotion Concentration Link to CIM

Reason for

Request:

The changes to the concentration will further contribute to the SLOs of the department, our changes

include even more high impact practices and will even better prepare students for success after their

undergraduate program.

First three semesters:

The first three semesters will be identical for all of our majors (45 credits) and there will be total of

65 common credits for all HES majors (not including electives). To make the first 45 credits the

same, the chemistry requirements are being changed from CHEM 103/104 to CHEM 107/108 (or

CHEM 111/112). This change encourages success in subsequent courses such as BMS 300 plus it

provides students the option of choosing either concentration once the student determines their career

path.

Additionally the following classes are being added to the concentration: HES 303, HES 354, and a

list of HP Guided Electives.

Justification for adding-

• HES 303 Foundations of Biomechanics and Neuromuscular Physiology – this course provides

students with an introduction to these important topics in the Exercise Science area.

• HES 354 Theory of Health Behavior –this course provides students with an excellent background in

behavior modification.

• We also are providing more options for HP students by allowing them to select a minimum of 9 cr

from a list of guided electives.

The following courses are being dropped: Math 117, HES 120, HES 240, CS 110 (or BS 150), CO

300 and JTC 300. Note since HES 240 and CS110 (BS 150) were part of the transfer agreement

(60+60 guaranteed transfer), two different courses have been identified that will substitute for these

courses. These course are ACC 121 Accounting Principles I – which will substitute for ACT 205 and

MAR 216 Principles of Marketing which will clear MKT 305.

Justification for dropping-

University Curriculum Committee Agenda

October 7, 2016

Page 10

• MATH 117 – students must either test into MATH 118 or take MATH 117 as an elective (saves one

credit).

HES 120 - this class has been very beneficial for students in the past but now that we have Academic

Success Coordinators they are covering the important material that was covered in the class. We also

will be offering informational workshops on various topics related to success in the field.

• HES 240 – First Aid and CPR will still be required for HES 386 but will be included as part of the

prerequisite HES 340 course.

• CS 110 or BUS 150 - key computer skills required to be successful in HES will be blended into

HES courses, for example HES 403 lecture/lab will review Excel skills, etc.

• CO 300 and JTC 300 will no longer accepted as options for the AUCC 2 category as we feel these

courses do not adequately prepare our students for upper division HES courses. CO 301B will be the

required advanced writing course required of all our HES majors.

The following courses have been changed: HES 232A & B, HES 340, HES 356, HES 456 and HES

487.

Explanation for course changes (these changes have already been accepted):

• HES 232B (1) to HES 232 (1) Techniques of Teaching Group Exercise – name and number change

and HES 340 added as a prerequisite or co-requisite.

• HES 340 from 1 to 3 cr –All HES students will take HES 340, the content of the previous HES

232A class has been incorporated into the course and several prerequisites have been added allowing

for a more in-depth look at exercise testing and prescription. Additionally the content of HES 240

(first aid and CPR certification) is now included as part of the course requirements.

• Capstone HES 356 to HES 455- Most of the previous HES 356 course has been moved to this

course and will now serve as the capstone requirement.

• HES 456 to HES 355 – some of content to the previous capstone class has been moved to a new

course and the new course has been re-vamped to include additional topics in health behavior.

• HES 487 Internship – has been changed from 15 to 12 credits to be more in line with other peer

institutions’ internship time requirements. Due to this change, in order to maintain 120 credits in our

program, we also were able to add an additional valuable course to the health promotion curriculum

(HES 354).

Effective Fall 2015 View Major Completion Map The minimum GPA for students in the Health Promotion

concentration must be 2.750 with no grade below C in the following

dropped from the list somewhere along the way. Given the CS Department's specialization in

Bioinformatics, it will benefit students interested in this area of specialization.

Effective Fall 2017 2016 A minimum grade of C is required in CO 150 and in all mathematics, statistics, computer science, and

departmental Group II courses which are required for graduation.
