(Example: BA, BACH, BACJ, HBA, EDD, MA, MBA, etc.)

Proposed name: Food Science

Proposed new name for revised or new major / minor / concentration / academic unit

(if applicable)

Deleting: NA

Undergraduate major / Concentrations:_

Undergraduate minor:

(Example: African Studies, Business Administration, English, Leadership, etc.)

Graduate Program Policy statement change:

(Attach your Graduate Program Policy Statement)

Graduate Program of Study: not applicable

(Example: Animal Science: MS Animal Science: PHD Economics: MA Economics: PHD)

Graduate minor / concentration:

List program changes for curriculum revisions: see attached. This major has only been modified slightly from the existing major “Food Science and Technology, concentration in Food Science”. We have eliminated the concentration in “Food Technology”.

List new courses required for the new or revised curriculum: see attached

Other affected units: see attached

(List other departments affected by this new or revised curriculum. Attach permission from the affected units. If no other unit is affected, enter “None”)

Rationale:

(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the curriculum or program.)

It has been over a decade since the ANFS Department critically evaluated its undergraduate programs. Our department currently has two distinctly different majors, one with four concentrations and the other with two. Despite many academic linkages between animal production, animal health, food safety, food quality and human health, there is no integration among the two majors and very few shared/joint courses. With the past several faculty hires, the department has made a concentrated effort to attract faculty members that have expertise that is relevant to both animal science and food science. At this point the department feels it is important to re-evaluate curriculum with the following objectives:

1) Where appropriate, integrate the study of animal science AND food science into the core curriculum for our majors

2) Create a “general” major that has more focus and basic science than the current General Animal Science option

3) Design a major specifically for those focused on graduate school and veterinary school

4) Maintain the accredited Food Science major

5) Achieve a “real” merge between Animal Science and Food Science so that we are no longer two separate groups within one department. The faculty consider themselves members of a single unit and it is time the curriculum, courses and even rubric reflect this significant and timely change.

The Food Science major is designed to provide students with a broad understanding and professional preparation in the areas of food processing, preservation, evaluation, packaging, and distribution. Upon graduation, job opportunities include positions within the food and allied industries, government, and independent research institutions. The role of the food scientist in such positions may involve product and process development, food safety engineering, quality control and analysis, technical service and sales, with opportunities in regulatory agencies, education, and basic research. This major places emphasis on the biological, chemical and physical sciences, preparing a student for research opportunities within the Food Science disciplines. Additional recommended electives can provide a student with the course work to pursue a food processing engineering emphasis.

Students are encouraged to participate in a broad realm of animal and food science projects in the department through undergraduate research opportunities.

DEGREE: BACHELOR OF SCIENCE MAJOR:

ANIMAL AND FOOD SCIENCES

CURRICULUM CREDITS

See page for University and College requirements.

The Animal and Food Sciences major encompasses a wide range of disciplines in which the principles of biology, chemistry and biochemistry are applied to animal agriculture and food systems. Instruction is offered in animal nutrition, food science and its interactions with animal agriculture, physiology, genetics, and reproduction; in animal health and molecular biology; and in dairy, livestock and poultry management.

The Pre-veterinary and Animal Biosciences major is designed to meet not only the department, college, and University requirements for the BS degree, but also the admission requirements for many U.S. veterinary schools. It is also designed to prepare students that wish to pursue graduate degrees in areas related to animal agriculture and biological sciences through course work and laboratory experiences.

ANIMAL AND FOOD SCIENCES

ELECTIVES –

After required courses are completed, sufficient credits must be taken to meet the minimum requirements for the degree. Only 4 credits of HESC 120 activity or 4 credits of performing Music credit may be counted toward the degree. ANFS 399 may be taken P/F for a maximum of 2 credits toward the degree. No more than 5 credits of ANFS X66 may be counted towards the degree.

Students should consult with their advisor regarding the choice of elective credits.

I probably was not clear in my first email, but to fulfill our proposed second writing requirement, students will be able to pick a class from the approved list for A & S. Thus, you would not have all of our 75 students in just ENGL classes to fulfill our requirement. They would be able to choose from the approved list and from what I see http://www.udcatalog.udel.edu/arts/undergrad/ASUgPDF/ASUg2ndWriting.pdf) there about 24 departments and over 100 courses to choose from. (Unless I am misinterpreting the list.)

I hope that this clarifies things.

Thanks in advance!

Subject: Curriculum Change

Dear Dr. Schleininger:

Our department (Animal and Food Sciences) is revising its curriculum. The current and proposed changes to the degrees are listed below:

Current Degrees Concentrations w/in Degree Current Math Requirements

Animal Science Animal Biotechnology Math 221

Applied Animal Science Math 115

Pre-veterinary Medicine Math 221

General Animal Science Math 115

Food Sci and Tech Food Science Math 221/222 or 241/242

Food Technology Math 221/222

Proposed Degrees Proposed Chem Requirements

Pre-veterinary Medicine and Animal Biosciences Math 221

Animal and Food Sciences Math 221

Food Science and Technology Math 221/222 or 241/242

Specific changes affecting your department:

The primary change that will affect your department is that we are merging the General Animal Science students with the Applied Animal Science students to make the proposed “Animal and Food Science” degree. Over the last 3-4 years we have had about 15 to 20 General Animal Science Freshman. If our curriculum is accepted this would mean there will be about 15 or 20 more students each year that will be required to take Math 221.

The merger of Food Technology with Food Science to make the new proposed degree of “Food Science and Technology” will not have any impact on Math courses that these students will require.

May we have your permission to make these changes to our curriculum? Please contact me if you have any questions.

Thank you.

The merger of Food Technology with Food Science to make the new proposed degree of “Food Science and Technology” should have minimal impact because there have only been 2-3 students in Food Technology per year.

Dave

Our department is in the process of trying to revamp our curriculum. For one of our projected new majors, students would have to take a physiology course (BISC 306) as a requirement. We would like to have your department’s approval to do this. Based on the projected program, you would not see these students until their junior year which technically would mean this would occur in the Fall of 2010 (assuming our new curriculum is approved this year). We project that about 10 to 15 students a year would require this course for the new major.

(In addition, there is an on going movement to try to create a new course within the department to meet this need. In fact there may be an outside chance that this course will be developed in time for the first class of the new major. However, at this point we don’t have the class on the books yet and we want to try to push our curriculum through with BISC 306 right now. )

Please let me know if this is acceptable.

Thanks very much.

Limin,

Sorry this comes to you so late. Your request was view by the physiologist, who teach the course. We do have seats available but generally only during the spring semester. Your students can take the course, but Biology students will be given preference.
