ISSUE: All internal review bodies have approved this proposal. Trustee policies adopted on August 7, 2002 state that new study abroad courses must be reviewed and approved by the Trustees prior to being forwarded to CCHE staff for final approval.

Dates and Sites: This course is scheduled for May 22 to June 5, 2004 and will be conducted in Rome.

Students will be evaluated on: • an exam on the six readings, • preparation of a 10-15 page paper on a selected site in Rome, • a final exam, and • participation.

AGENDA ITEM: Proposal to Delete Six Certificate Programs offered by Human Performance and Sport:

Coaching Recreation Assistant Aquatics Assistant Extended Day Activities Aide Conditioning Specialist Officiating

ISSUE: Trustee policies state that the deletion of a certificate must be reviewed and approved by the Trustees. Final approval rests with the Trustees. BACKGROUND: Individuals in the Denver metropolitan area sometimes want to take a selected set of courses that focus on a particular academic area or career interest to prepare for a new job, to prepare for licensing or certification by a professional organization, or to satisfy a personal need. In some cases, it is helpful if the collection of courses taken by the student is officially recognized as a coherent whole. In 1995-96 Metropolitan State College of Denver decided that this need could be met by offering certificate of completion programs, and faculty were encouraged to propose certificates. Certificates of completion are considered to be independent of all degree requirements at MSCD, and if a student later becomes interested in seeking a degree, the certificate courses can be used for the degree. In 1996-97, responding to a request by the administration, human performance and sport faculty started offering seven certificates. However, there has been little interest in the six certificates listed above. In fact, only two students have completed one of these; one completed the coaching certificate and the other the conditioning specialist certificate. Faculty have decided that the six certificates are not needed and request that they be deleted. The courses that comprise the certificates will remain if other programs require them. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends deleting the six certificates: coaching, recreation assistant, aquatics assistant, extended day activities aide, conditioning specialist, and officiating.
