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”)
No new courses required. We are proposing to drop a required course
which will allow students to have 4 more elective credits. The revised curriculum will still meet the
requirements set forth by our accrediting
agency for dietetics.
Explain, when appropriate,
how this new/revisedcurriculum supports the 10 goals of undergraduate
education: http://www.ugs.udel.edu/gened/
The revised curriculum will continue to support the 10
goals of undergraduate education as the major currently does.
This concentration revision
is related only the mechanics of the curriculum and does not change the manner
in which the 10 goals are already addressed.
Identify other units affected
by the proposed changes:
(Attach permission from the affected units. If no other unit is affected, enter “None”)
Biology Department will lose ~40 students per year in BISC208.
Describe the rationale for
the proposed program change(s):
(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the
curriculum or program.)
Deletion of BISC208 requirement
We have required BISC208 in our dietetics curriculum as it
previously was a prerequisite for BISC300.
This is no longer the case. BISC300
requires only BISC207. Further, the
course content from BISC208 is not required for our Dietetics majors to
complete their degree based on the educational requirements of our accrediting
agency (Commission on Dietetic Registration).
Therefore, we propose to remove this course from our curriculum and
allow students to have 4 elective credits in their place. Currently, our curriculum has very few
elective credits. This could allow
students to more easily pick up a minor if they so choose.
Correction
There is also a correction to the listing for a course titled
Food Science (was FOSC305, is ANFS305).
(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.)
