Note: all graduate studies proposals must include an electronic copy of the Graduate Program Policy Document, highlighting the changes made to the original policy document.

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/ N/A

Identify other units affected by the proposed changes:

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

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

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

The proposed change is to require only one semester of calculus, rather than two. Rationale: a second semester of calculus is not required as a prerequisite for any other required course in the major. The current major requirements for Nutritional Sciences are difficult to complete in four years. Eliminating a second semester of calculus will improve the feasibility of completing the degree in four years.

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.)
