ELECTIVES (7-23 Credits) 7-23 TOTAL CREDITS REQUIRED 120 Justification: ETS data suggested that management majors were not mastering management content. Further, according to research conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management and by the York College of Pennsylvania Center for Professional Excellence, employers report that graduates are deficient in key skill sets. These reported deficiencies include communication, teamwork and collaboration, and critical thinking/problem solving, and leadership. Therefore, a department committee was formed to examine the courses required for all management majors and answer the question, “What do management majors need to know or be able to do?” The result was a redesign of the core management courses, in order to provide a curriculum that better addresses the aforementioned skill sets. The courses we propose to be added to the Management Major will focus specifically on teamwork and collaboration skills, interpersonal skills related to managing people, leadership skills, and the application of theories of human behavior to management problems. Additionally, these courses will provide better opportunities for students to hone their communication skills. Impact on existing academic programs: This proposal changes two of the required courses for the Management Major of the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree. Currently, MGMT 306: Organizational Theory and Behavior and MGMT 307: Fundamentals of Human Resource Management are required of all Management Majors, regardless of concentrations. Although we expect MGMT 308: Managing Human Capital and MGMT 309: Leading High Performance Teams to ultimately replace the MGMT 307 and MGMT 306 requirements, respectively, these courses will be listed as selective options initially (i.e., take MGMT 306 OR MGMT 309, take MGMT 307 OR MGMT 308) in order to best handle the transition period in which students may have one or the other listed on their transcript. We hope that by taking this approach, students that have taken 306 and/or 307 will be able to change catalogs and graduate without additional paperwork. In addition, this will dissuade students from taking both courses (e.g., MGMT 306 and 309) to fulfill one requirement as they will more clearly see it is one or the other. The proposed changes involve adding two courses (MGMT 308 and MGMT 309) to the management major. However, as previously described, these courses will replace the current required courses (MGMT 306 and MGMT 307) as the major requirements. Faculty currently teaching MGMT 306 and MGMT 307 will be reassigned to teach MGMT 308 and MGMT 309, thus incurring no costs. Date change is to be effective: Fall 2013 Committee action: This proposal was approved as written and will be submitted to Faculty Senate for the March, 2013, meeting. College of Business – Department of Marketing/Resort Tourism Management Marketing Degree Proposed changes: Change in number of credits from: 15 credit hours in Marketing to: 18 credit hours in Marketing; Change in the required course from: 5 courses in Marketing to: 6 courses in Marketing Proposed catalog description: V. MAJOR REQUIREMENTS (15 Credits) Minimum grade of C is required in major requirements. MKTG 351 Consumer Market Analysis (3)
Choose three from the following: (9 Credits) CBAD 401 International Business (3)
VI. ELECTIVES (10-23 Credits) 7-20 Justification: This proposal uses existing courses to expand the number of hours Marketing majors take in their chosen major field of study from 15 required credit hours to 18 required credit hours. We are preserving the existing structure of the Marketing program by including some required courses (MKTG 351, 357, and 458) and some student-selected electives. We are simply expanding the number of Marketing electives from two to three. Currently, Marketing students receive 18 hours of instruction in Marketing by taking a Business Core course required of all Business students (CBAD 350) and five Marketing courses in the major. These 18 hours represent 15% (18/120) of their undergraduate program. Given the breadth of the Marketing discipline, as well as its expansion with new media, markets, research tools, etc., we believe it is important to expand the amount of instruction in Marketing for our major students. The increase in the major from 15 to 18 hours, coupled with the required Business Core course in Marketing (CBAD 350), will increase the amount of Marketing instruction to 21 total hours. While this is a modest 2.5% increase in MKT as a percentage of the total degree (17.5%, or 21/120), it represents a 20% increase in coverage for the majors (3 hours against a former base of 15 required hours in the major). We believe our students will be better prepared given the expansion of their marketing electives. Additionally, we have reviewed the number of hours included in the Marketing programs of our peer and aspirant institutions. As is, our current 15 required hours is the lower than all peer and aspirant institutions in terms of the number of required MKT hours of MKT majors. This expansion of the program will bring us more in line with our peers. Impact on existing academic programs: The proposed expansion of the Marketing program from 15 to 18 hours has no impact on other academic programs. We are preserving the existing structure of the Marketing program by including some required courses (MKTG 351, 357, and 458) and some student-selected electives. We are simply expanding the number of Marketing electives from two to three. There is no impact on other programs. While we are able to expand the program with existing courses, we are concurrently working on new course proposals to offer students more choice for their Marketing Electives. These courses will be available to all interested students. We are simply expanding the number of required electives in Marketing. We have some unused capacity in selected sections. And, we have been given a dedicated faculty slot in Marketing beginning Fall 2013. This new colleague will add 18 hours of teaching capacity per academic (9 in Fall, 9 in Spring). And, we will be able to recruit specific specialties in Marketing to best serve our students. Date change is to be effective: Fall 2013 Committee action: This proposal was approved as written and will be submitted to Faculty Senate for the March, 2013, meeting. College of Education – Department of Early Childhood, ELE, PE & SPED Middle Level Education Program Emphasis Proposed changes: Addition of courses to program: ENGL 205 Proposed catalog description: None given. Current catalog description currently states: This course is designed to provoke and cultivate students’ imaginative and critical understanding of literature in various cultural contexts. Text (in poetry, drama, fiction, and/or creative nonfiction) will vary by section. Each section will examine compelling themes, styles, and cultural arguments within their literary, historical, and philosophical contexts. Justification: Due to the elimination of ENGL 287 as a course offering by the English Department which was a required course for the English/Language Arts concentration of the Middle Level Education Program, it was determined through consultation with the Thomas W. and Robin W. Edwards College of Humanities and Fine Arts, ENGL 205 was identified as a comparable substitution in content for ENGL 287. Impact on existing academic programs: None. This course is not unique to this program, it is a course currently being offered within the English Department. Date change is to be effective: Fall 2012 Committee action: This proposal was approved as written and will be submitted to Faculty Senate for the March, 2013, meeting. College of Science – Department of Marine Science Marine Science Degree Proposed changes: Removal of courses from program: MSCI 403 Other: This is not a formal program change.

Academic Affairs Consent Calendar February 5, 2013 10:00 A.M., EHFA 164 Form A: Proposal for Changes in, Restoration of, or Removal of an Undergraduate Course College of Business – Department of Accounting/Finance/Economics CBAD 363 Business Finance Proposed changes: Course change: Change in prerequisites from : CBAD 202, CBAD 291 or STAT 201, ECON 101 or ECON 202, MATH 132 to: CBAD 201, CBAD 291 or STAT 201, ECON 101 or ECON 201, MATH 132 Proposed catalog description: Theoretical foundation of optimal financial policy with an emphasis on working capital, capital budgeting, financing and dividend decisions and how they affect the valuation of the firm. F, S Justification: The reason for this change is to allow students to take this course earlier in their program. This will allow them to spread out their upper level classes to create a balanced scheduled. It also revisits the prerequisite classes to gauge which classes are necessary, given changes in those classes. Impact on existing academic programs: This change will allow students to take the course earlier in their program and will not change the courses that they have to take. Change will only impact when a student can take the course.
