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

Graduate Program Policy statement change:_________________________________

                                                                  (Must attach  your Graduate Program Policy Statement)

 

            Graduate Program of Study:______________________________________________

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

 

 

                Graduate minor / concentration:___________________________________________

 

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/

 

Existing courses within the major/concentration already meet requirements essential for   the integration of academic knowledge with clinical/laboratory experiences.

 

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.)

 

1) Add HESC180 Introduction to Exercise Science. HESC180 was added to the major requirements for Exercise Science last year simultaneously with the Medical Scholars concentration being proposed. Not having included HESC180 among the major requirements was an oversight.

 

2) Add HESC309 Pre-Clinical Anatomy & Physiology I as a required course. HESC309 was added to the major requirements for Exercise Science last year simultaneously with the Medical Scholars concentration being proposed. Not having included HESC309 among the major requirements was an oversight.

 

3) Eliminate BISC306 as a required course. Rationale: The content of BISC306 General Physiology overlaps with the content of HESC430/431, which is also required.

 

4) Add HESC420 Functional Human Anatomy as an option to BISC408 Mammalian Histology as a required course. This course will establish a strong foundation in anatomy that is essential for future first-year medical school students. (HESC420 is currently 4 credits. A course revision is separately proposed to increase the number of credits for the course to 5.)

 

 

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.)
