Course Code/Title Credit Format JTC 210 JTC 210: Newswriting

2nd week 3 ONLINE

Change Reason:

There is a need for this course to be offered online so students can complete the JTC requirements, and their degree, remotely. The department is continuously expanding its course offerings for its online program.

MATH 160 MATH 160: Calculus for Physical Scientists I

2nd week 4 FACE-TO-FACE,

ONLINE AUCC

1B

Change Reason:

An analysis of student performance over two years has shown that students who completed MATH124/126 with a grade of C had a less than 30% success rate (C or better) in MATH 160. (A summary of this analysis is attached.) Similar results can be obtained from IR data, as these precalculus classes also serve other populations, this problem cannot be remedied by raising the C-level demands in MATH 124/126 universally. The added credit exclusion is to accommodate the new class MATH159, one-year calculus. We do not intend to have this grade restriction in the new 1-year calculus sequence aimed at weaker students.

BZ 482A Field Marine Biology 4 FACE-TO-FACE Study

Abroad Request Reason:

This novel program will expose Colorado State students to two of the most productive and biologically diverse marine areas in North America. This upper level program is an introduction to field sampling and exploration of marine ecosystems from levels of primary production to the top level predators. Students in this first summer session course will learn a wide variety of hands on sampling techniques and data analyses with the goal of comparing the marine ecology of the Baja peninsula.

HIST 382A HIST 382A: WWII in Europe: The Normandy Campaign

1-3 FACE-TO-FACE Study Abroad

Request Reason:

This course will employ traditional methods of instruction that will rely on the traditional grading system.

MGT 482A MGT 482A: International New Venture Creation

UPDATED 3 FACE-TO-FACE Study

Abroad Request Reason:

This course is needed to support CSU's goals of broadening the role of international perspectives in students' programs of study (Goal 5, CSU Strategic Plan). The CoB believes that business is global! Our students benefit greatly from exposure to non-US business and economic processes. In addition, there is no study abroad option for CoB students that counts towards entrepreneurship coursework, forcing these students to either forgo study abroad options, or to incur additional time and expense.

Major Change to Programs College of Business Effective Fall 2016 Department of Marketing Undergraduate Certificate in Business-to-Business Selling

Request Reason:

Initially this certificate was offered under the name "Certificate in Customer-Focused Selling". Feedback from students indicated that there was some confusion regarding the name of the certificate. Accordingly, the name has been changed to more clearly convey the focus of the certificate.

University Curriculum Committee Agenda October 16, 2015 Page 3 College of Engineering Effective Fall 2016 Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering Major in Chemical & Biological Engineering

Request Reason:

Owing to the importance of biological engineering and MATLAB in the CBE curriculum, a new Biological Engineering course (CBE 205) and a new MATLAB course (CBE 160) have been added. To make these changes, a 'part 2' introductory CBE course (CBE 102) has been dropped, and other adjustments made to maintain the current number of credits in the program.

1 Students are required to participate in the Professional Learning Institute (PLI) program as a requirement for graduation. The program consists of eleven PLI workshops distributed by focus areas as follows: Global and Cultural Diversity (2 workshops), Innovation (2 workshops), Leadership (2 workshops), Civic and Public Engagement (2 workshops), and Ethics (3 workshops). Each workshop is between 1-2 hours long and no outside preparation is required to attend any of the workshops. Attendance at the required workshops may be spread over the student’s four-year program.

College of Engineering Effective Fall 2016 Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Major in Civil Engineering Concentration in Civil Engineering

Request Reason:

Due to low enrollment numbers in this concentration and concerns on our Accreditation Agency on the lack of design components in the concentration, we would like to delete the concentration. Final students should graduate SP17 or earlier. We currently have 2 concentrations - Civil Engineering and Soil & Water Resource Engineering. We are deleting the Soil & Water Resource Engineering concentration and therefore do not need a concentration with the Civil Engineering BS degree.

Request to Deactivate Concentration and retain Major in Civil Engineering.

A minimum grade of C (2.000) must be achieved in each upper-division art course in the student's concentration. The minimum scholastic average acceptable for graduation is 2.000 computed only for courses attempted at CSU.

Request Reason:

Students in this program do not succeed at the rate we would expect in later computer science courses required. The problem has been traced to inadequate mathematical preparation for the required computer science courses in the program. Therefore, we will drop the MATH141 and MATH155 as calculus alternatives and require all students in this program take MATH160.

Major Change to Courses Course Code/Title Credit Format Health & Human Sciences Fall 2016 HDFS 375 HDFS 375: Lifespan Intervention and Prevention

Science 3 FACE-TO-FACE,

ONLINE

Reason for Request:

The course is being expanded to include both intervention and prevention components, as well as helping skills for professionals working with children, adolescents, adults, and families across the lifespan. It will also become a required (rather than elective) course in all six undergraduate programs of study in the HDFS department.

Liberal Arts Summer 2016 HIST 151 HIST 151: U.S. History Since 1876 3 FACE-TO-FACE,

ONLINE AUCC 3D

Reason for Request:

HIST151 online will allow students access to college history courses who are unable to attend class in a traditional university setting. Many students are constrained by family circumstances, employment, or physical location. Students in military, rural or global settings may find it impossible to attend classes on campus. Individuals with disabilities can more easily access online courses.

Request Reason:

The internship component of the program has been difficult for both faculty and students with the field internship and accompanying seminar wrapped up in the same course number. We would like to add a new course (LEAP 492) and amend the program to require this new course. Please note that this does not change the overall number of credits for the course.

Request Reason:

POLS463, Urban Policy and Management was mistakenly left out of category 5 - Public Policy and Administration.

Political science majors must achieve a minimum grade of C- (1.670) in each of the political science (POLS) courses counted toward meeting the requirement of the major.

Political Science, Upper-Division

At least 24 credits of upper-division political science courses must be completed for the major. The 24 credits include the senior capstone course, POLS 492, at least 3 credits of AUCC 4A and 4B in addition to POLS 492, and at least one upper-division course in each of the following five subfields.1
