Rationale: Bulletin title change: The title currently in the bulletin, Anthropology (Physical), Biology, and Chemistry, B.S. (60 Credit Major) is not the official NYSED-registered title. The title change fixes that. Preamble changes: After review of other bulletin entries, none of which include scholarship information, the scholarship text was removed. That information will be provided to students on the Anthropology Department website and through direct emails. Changes to both tracks: MAT 172 Precalculus is added into both tracks: as an option in the “analytic competency” subsection of Track 1, and as a requirement in the Track 2 “quantitative methods” subsection (it is a pre-requisite for some electives and the required chemistry series in Track 2). PSY 226 Statistical Methods in Psychology is removed from both tracks. Since the last revision of this major, the Psychology department added Psychology and Mathematics pre-requisites for PSY 226 that make it impossible to include in the ABC major. Physical Anthropology is changed to Biological Anthropology throughout. Biological anthropology is the broader and more inclusive term; physical anthropology has stronger connections to problematic racist and eugenicist histories within the discipline. (The main American association for biologically-oriented anthropologists is currently in the process of changing its name from the American Association of Physical Anthropologists to the American Association of Biological Anthropologists). Track 1 changes: Our ABC Track 1 students must either take PHY 166+167 or show the initiative to request and receive authorization for some other courses to fulfill the history and philosophy of science requirement (these courses are no longer regularly offered). We have been substituting advanced courses in Anthropology, Biology, and Chemistry to allow a non-physics fulfilment of this required courses sub-section. In the revision of this section, students continue to have the option of taking General Physics I and II (these courses are regularly offered). Additional options in computer science and data science are added; basic competency in these areas is increasingly important in all aspects of scientific work (the added courses are regularly offered). Additionally, students that wish to choose to delve deeper into anthropology, biology, or chemistry can do so by taking a greater number of elective courses. Track 2 changes: Since the last update of this major, the Department of Chemistry changed the credits/hours on CHE 166, 167, 168, 169, 232, & 234. The changes in Track 2 fix the credits/hours of those courses in the major. In the introductory overview of Track 2, students interested in health-related professions are encouraged to consult with the pre-health advisor. In the postscript to the Track 2 required courses, “take CHE 266 (Introduction to Forensic Science) and” is deleted as CHE 266 is not offered (and was never on the ABC electives list). Language indicating that only pre-health-professional students in Track 2 can count 3 of MAT 175, MAT 176, PHY 166, PHY 167 towards their major elective credits was removed as it is impossible to enforce (and is not currently enforced). Practically speaking, only Track 2 majors interested in applying to professional schools take these courses.

Elective course changes: BIO 434 no longer exists. PSY 166 is a pre-requisite for all upper-level psychology courses. PSY 305 & 306 are intended for psychology majors and have a pre-requisite not in the major. Additional updates are name, credit, and hour course changes since the last revision of this major.

Dual Biology Degree. Name of Program: Five Year Combined B.S./M.S. Dual Biology Degree Hegis Number: 0401 Program Code: 35447 Effective Term: Fall 2020 FROM: TO: Five Year Combined B.S./M.S. Dual Biology Degree The Five-Year Biology B.S./M.S. degree offers qualified students the opportunity to earn both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science degree in Biology, which may be completed in as little as five years. (Years 1-4) 120-credit B.S. in Biological Sciences. Winter and Summer Sessions must be used. BIO 489 must be taken twice and BIO 490 should be taken in the senior year. (Years 1-2) Students must take the biology, math, chemistry, and physics prerequisites. (Year 3) Research advisor chosen in Spring term. (Year 4) Three M.S. courses taken for credit in both degrees (12

Five Year Combined B.S./M.S. Dual Biology Degree The Five-Year Biology B.S./M.S. is a single degree that offers qualified students the opportunity to earn both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science degree in Biology, which may be completed in as little as five years. (Years 1-4) 120-credit B.S. in Biological Sciences. Winter and Summer Sessions must be used. BIO 489 must be taken twice and BIO 490 should be taken in the senior year.

(Year 4) Three M.S. courses taken for credit in both degrees (12

credits total). Must take BIO 489 in the Fall and BIO 489 and BIO 490 in the Spring. Graduation in June with Honors, having completed a research project under faculty sponsor. (Year 5) Enrolled in M.S. program in thesis track (30 course credits, 12 of which are satisfied in Year 4). BIO 7991, and 7992 with possibility of BIO 7993. Defense of thesis and graduation by September 1. 30-32 M.S. Credits to be distributed as follows: Students must take three M.S. courses in Year 4 (12 credits). For example: BIO 634: Cell Biology and Electron Microscopy (4 credits). Students must take three to four M.S. courses in Year 5 (12-14 credits). For example: three thesis research courses (6 credits). Note 1: This program will allow students to finish 1-2 years earlier than they would if they did a separate B.S. followed by a M.S. Additionally, this program provides students with extensive research experience, which will make them more competitive for jobs, doctoral programs and medical programs. Note 2: To be eligible for the fifth-year program, all students must demonstrate an interest in, achievement in, or affinity for biology. This will be determined by having a minimum of 48 semester hours of mathematics and sciences study, including MAT 175 with a GPA of 3.0. Candidates must apply to the program no later than the first semester of their junior year and may apply as early as the second semester of their sophomore year. The accelerated pace of this program is made possible by

The accelerated pace of this program is made possible by offering qualified students the opportunity to take masters level

offering qualified students the opportunity to take masters level courses during their final year of undergraduate work. Students qualify by demonstrated attainment of a GPA of 3.0 in mathematics and science coursework as well as a GPA of 3.25 in the major through the first three years of study, and by completing all of the necessary prerequisites for those courses, which will ensure that they are prepared for graduate-level work.

courses during their final year of undergraduate work. Students qualify by demonstrated attainment of a GPA of 3.0 in mathematics and science coursework as well as a GPA of 3.25 in the major through the first three years of study, and by completing all of the necessary prerequisites for those courses, which will ensure that they are prepared for graduate-level work.

Rationale: We are correcting the description of the program to avoid confusions about the number of degrees students will earn. The previous description indicated that students were entitled to graduating twice and receiving two separate degrees, one for completing the BS degree and a second one for completing the MS degree. The revised description clarifies that students would receive a signal BS/MS degree. Date of Biological Sciences Department Approval: September 18, 2019 Date of Senate Approval: December 11, 2019 AIII.3 The following revisions are proposed for the Therapeutic Recreation, B.S. Name of Program and Degree Award: Therapeutic Recreation, B.S. Hegis Number: 2199 Program Code: 34565 Effective Term: Fall 2020 FROM: TO: Therapeutic Recreation, B.S. (52 Credit Major) The required courses and credits are distributed as follows (52 credits): 12 Credits in Recreation Education: Credits REC 300 History and Philosophy of Recreation 3 REC 320 Recreation Leadership 3 REC 321 Introduction to Therapeutic Recreation 3

Rationale: With an addition of REC 322 in core therapeutic recreation course according to the new NCTRC Certification Standards, it will result in 18 credits in Therapeutic Recreation for the B.S. in Therapeutic Recreation. Therefore, there will be no room for taking an elective course for students in B.S. Therapeutic Recreation. Taking one more core course will more benefit students to be prepared well at an earlier state in their academic instruction.

Rationale: DNC 203 and DNC 313 are similar to the other workshops in that they are 1-credit technique classes. The addition of these courses to the list of options for the technique workshop will expand student choice and allow students to work at an appropriate level rather than forcing them into an advanced workshop before they are ready. An additional credit was added to the previous requirement for DNC 209/THE 200. DNC 209 and THE 200 are workshop classes, which allow students to get credit for being in a departmental production. Our majors perform multiple times but often only get credit for one show. This change will allow a more accurate reflection of the work the students are doing and also make it easier for students to be covered by TAP for those classes.

Rationale: This curriculum change will require the MMPA BFA Theatre and Dance majors to take DNC (THE) 306 or DNC (THE) 307 which are essential workshop courses associated with the BFA degree for which they are seeking. Previously, BFA majors were able to select from a group of 6 classes and they often avoided the 300-level multimedia classes. With this change they will be required to take at least one 300-level technical workshop in multimedia. An additional credit was added to the previous requirement for DNC 209/THE 200. DNC 209 and THE 200 are workshop classes, which allow students to get credit for being in a departmental production. Our majors perform multiple times but often only get credit for one show. This change will allow a more accurate reflection of the work the students are doing and also make it easier for students to be covered by TAP for those classes. The addition of the new courses DNC 203 and DNC 313 to the list of options for the technique workshop will expand student choice.

Rationale: ESC 538 is being proposed in order to respond to the need to introduce pre- and in-service teachers to content and pedagogy related to computer science education in secondary classroom settings. ESC 538 is an entry point to several topics in human computer interaction, problem solving, web design, programming, data analysis, and robotics in secondary education settings. The course was developed around a framework of both computer science content and computational practices used to understand human computer interaction and problem solving. Assignments and instruction are contextualized to be socially relevant and meaningful for diverse students. This course will continue to allow Lehman College to build capacity to meet the demands for quality instructional technology and to build the national Computer Science for All initiative (http://www1.nyc.gov/office-of-the-mayor/education-vision-2015-computer-science.page). ESC 538 is modeled from a national effort to spread computer science courses to all schools funded by the National Science Foundation. Further, New York State and New York City implemented the new Computer Science for All initiative in fall 2015. This will require classroom teachers to have more specialized knowledge in instructional technology, including key pedagogical design principles, including human computer interactions, in computer science education.

Rationale: ESC 539 is being proposed in order to respond to the need to introduce pre- and in-service teachers to content and assessment related to computer science education in secondary classroom settings. Unlike ESC 537 and ESC 538, this course is aligned to commonly accepted entry-level computer science college courses for non-majors. The course introduces teachers to the central ideas of computer science, inviting teachers to develop the computational thinking vital for success across multiple disciplines in secondary settings. The course is unique in its focus on fostering teachers to be creative and encouraging them to apply creative processes in their classrooms assessments. Teachers are instructed on how to use assessments when engaging with instruction material that require an iterative process similar to what artists, writers, computer scientists, and engineers use to bring ideas to life in a project-based classroom environment. The course was developed around a framework of both computer science content and computational practice. Assignments and instruction are contextualized to be socially relevant and meaningful for diverse students. The purpose of this course will continue to allow Lehman College to build capacity to meet the demands for quality instructional technology and to build the national Computer Science for All initiative (http://www1.nyc.gov/office-of-the-mayor/education-vision-2015-computer-science.page).

____ World Cultures ____ US Experience in its Diversity ____ Creative Expression ____ Individual and Society ____ Scientific World


Rationale: Description Justification: CHE 244 is an introduction to biochemistry course that has been re-tooled for the students enrolled in the nutrition /nursing programs. This course is no longer similar to CHE 444 and so the Chemistry Department has decided to allow students who have taken CHE 244 and wish to make a career change (to science or medicine for example) be allowed to take CHE 444 with departmental permission. Hour/Credit Justification: In an attempt to address poor student performance in Biochemistry the Chemistry Department has modified its pedagogical approach to include techniques that more actively engage students in their learning. To be truly effective this new approach requires students to be intellectually and actively engaged for four hours of structured course work every week instead of three. One of the more successful techniques used across the country to engage students is the inclusion of an additional course hour during which students engage in problem solving through peer instruction and/or group workshops. These problem-solving sessions provide a structured opportunity for students to solve typically difficult problems, in a collaborative setting. (There is tremendous research evidence to demonstrate the effectiveness of collaborative settings on student learning.) The Chemistry Department proposes to change from a three-hour traditional lecture to a four-hour classroom model that incorporates group workshops and problem solving. In this new model, students will learn new course content through both traditional lecture and through structured problem-solving exercises. As a consequence, all four hours of the course will be intellectually demanding and involve the delivery of significant course content. Students should receive course credit that appropriately reflects the workload of the course. Date of Chemistry Department Approval: September 25, 2019 Date of Senate Approval: December 11, 2019
