We are proposing to replace the three 1-credit modules BUAD807, 808 and 809 with a new course BUAD877, “Skills for Change Agents” which includes the contents of the previous three modules.   Additionally, we have revised the suggested list of electives based on input from the School of Education (see their letter of support attached.

 

Explain, when appropriate, how this new/revised curriculum supports the 10 goals of undergraduate education: http://www.ugs.udel.edu/gened/   NA

 

Identify other units affected by the proposed changes:

(Attach permission from the affected units.  If no other unit is affected, enter “None”)

 

The Director of the School of Education has provided a letter of support attached.

 

Describe the rationale for the proposed program change(s):

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

 

Change from requiring three 1-credit modules (BUAD807, 808 and 809) to one 3-Credit course (BUAD877, Skills for Change Agents).  We discovered that it worked better to put the three modules together into a single course.  The course has been offered as BUAD867 (experimental title) for three years.  The new course with course description is currently in the Faculty Senate course approval list and the prior modules are listed for deletion.

 

We have added a paragraph in the program History section to clarify the goals of the program, and have clarified the GRE/GMAT and TOEFL admissions requirements. This is in response to our PSPR review.

 

Program Requirements: 

(Show the new or revised curriculum as it should appear in the Course Catalog.  If this is a revision, be sure to indicate the changes being made to the current curriculum and include a side-by-side comparison of the credit distribution before and after the proposed change.)
