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”)

 

KAAP 615 Advanced Mammalian Physiology I

KAAP 616 Advanced Mammalian Physiology II

KAAP 801 Graduate Seminar in Applied Physiology

 

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

 

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)      Our department has recently split and we now have a new course prefix for Kinesiology and Applied Physiology (KAAP).

2)      In discussions with Randy Duncan, chair of Biology, we have decided to teach a 2 semester course in Advanced Mammalian Physiology.  These courses will be cross-listed with both BISC and KAAP and team taught by BISC and KAAP faculty.  These courses will now make up the first year of physiology.

3)      We have added a graduate seminar course specifically for our PhD program.

 

The following changes were made to the Program Policy Statement:

 

1)     Change the tense of this policy statement reflecting that the program has been approved and is no longer a ‘proposed’ program.

2)     Change the name of the department to Kinesiology and Applied Physiology throughout.

3)     Change the name of the graduate school to the Office of Graduate and Professional Education throughout.

4)     Course prefix HESC was replaced with KAAP throughout.

5)     Professor Snyder-Mackler was added to the list of affiliated faculty.

6)     ‘Curriculum Committee’ replaces ‘Graduate Studies Committee’ to reflect revisions to KAAP faculty bylaws.

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.)
