List new courses required for
the new or revised curriculum. How do they support the overall program
objectives of the major/minor/concentrations)?
(Be aware that approval
of the curriculum is dependent upon these courses successfully passing through
the Course Challenge list. If there are no new courses enter None)
None.
Explain, when appropriate,
how this new/revised curriculum supports the 10 goals of undergraduate
education: http://www.ugs.udel.edu/gened/
The breadth requirements are consistent with Goal #5: Understand the diverse ways of thinking that
underlie the research for knowledge in the arts, humanities, sciences, and
social sciences.
Identify other units affected
by the proposed changes:
(Attach permission from the affected units. If no other unit is affected, enter None)
The removal of a required lab credit will have a negligible
effect on science courses offering labs because students will still have the
option to take labs, either as 1 credit labs or as part of 4 credit science classes.
Describe the rationale for
the proposed program change(s):
(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the
curriculum or program.)
1. The
courses fulfilling the current required breadth requirements (Science,
Humanities, and Social Sciences) for the Human Services major are not listed in
the UD catalog.
2. Current
major breadth requirements must be obtained at the departmental office and may
not always be updated on an annual basis. Breadth requirements in the
3. UD
students transferring between the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, and Human
Services, Education, and Public Policy will find it easier to transfer courses
fulfilling breadth requirements, because the revised breadth requirements
incorporate existing
4. Given
that it is not mathematically possible for a student to fulfill a 9 credit
science requirement by only taking 1 lab, the 1 lab credit requirement is therefore
removed. The other option would be to increase the required science credits to
10, which would unacceptably result in the total number of credits in the
concentration to be greater than 120 credits. Please note that the change in
requirement does not preclude a student from taking one or more labs. (In the
past, for students to meet the 1 lab requirement, they had to accumulate 10
science credits, with their extra science credit counting toward their Free Electives).
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.)
