9. EXPLANATION OF THE CHANGE:
The state of South Dakota requires students to complete 150 credit hours to be eligible to sit for
the CPA exam. Presently USD accounting students enrolled in the Beacom School of Business
achieve this through completion of a joint Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) and
Master of Professional Accountancy (MPA) program wherein they complete 120 credit hours at
the undergraduate level and 30 credit hours at the graduate level.
The purpose of this proposal is to correct an error on the business elective requirement from 4-6
to 9 hours. Some coursework moved into the MPA curriculum thus was no longer required in the
BBA. The total credits for the BBA Degree program are unchanged. Total credits within the
discipline would increase to 51.
No changes are being proposed at the graduate level.

Also required for all International Studies majors and double majors are: an international experi-
ence and a portfolio (completed in INTS 400).
8. EXPLANATION OF THE CHANGE:
When the International Studies Major was created, the originators believed that a minor in a
modern foreign language (MFL) was necessary to round out the program. However, given the
changing nature of the global community and the languages therein, the needs of both the private
and public sectors, the growing availability of study abroad programs, and the current language
offerings at USD, it is appropriate to change the required minor in a modern foreign language for
INTS majors to a more flexible program.
Students would retain the options of a major or minor in a USD-offered MFL. Additionally, stu-
dents would have the options of either (A.) 18 credit hours in two languages, to include at least
14 credits in one MFL and at least four credits in a second; or (B.) 18 credits in a single MFL. A
minor or second major remains required for graduation with a BA.
The new policy would allow students to study a non-USD MFL and still meet the requirements
of the program. In consultation with program alumni and current INTS majors, including the In-
ternational Studies Program Advisory Council, there is a consensus that introducing students to
two languages, or studying abroad and learning other languages not offered at USD, will be of
greater benefit to students than the current requirement.

9. EXPLANATION OF THE CHANGE:
The proposed changes to the curriculum will prepare students for evolving workforce needs
and/or graduate studies in South Dakota and the region. The three hour reduction of supportive
coursework outside of the discipline is due to the addition of life-span development to the
modified SOCW 340 curriculum. This modification prepares students in the application of life-
span assessment within the context of development. The addition of SOCW 350 along with the
requirement for six hours of elective credits assists students in the application of social work
practice models and evidence-based theories. The requirement of the major to complete a minor
in an area of the student’s choosing (18 credit hours) and the option to complete the
specialization in Child Welfare (9 credit hours) are still viable for professional preparation and
remain unchanged.

SOUTH DAKOTA BOARD OF REGENTS
PROGRAM PLACEMENT ON INACTIVE STATUS OR TERMINATION
INSTITUTION: University of South Dakota
PROGRAM TITLE: Master of Arts, Theatre
Proposed Date of Termination: Fall 2013
Last Date of Actively Enrolled Students: December 2012
LEVEL:
Certificate X Masters Degree
Associate Degree Doctoral Degree
Bachelors Degree
CATEGORY:
Minor Major
3. TERMINATION WITHOUT ENROLLED STUDENTS
A. Justification:
The MA program has had consistently low enrollment for the past several years. The Theatre
Department’s accrediting agency, The National Association of Schools of Theatre (NAST),
recently evaluated the program and suggested program termination due to lack of enrollment,
arguing that the program simply cannot be viable with no enrollment.
As the low enrollment is attributable to an inability to compete with both regional and
national programs offering greater financial packages to students in the form of
assistantships, stipends, scholarships, and tuition reduction, increased enrollment is not
foreseeable.
B. Academic year and term program termination is effective: 2013-2014
(Program status in the database will be changed to Deleted.
C. Potential cost savings and uses of savings:
There will be no cost savings since none of the course work or faculty charged with the
teaching M.A. students are solely dedicated to such. The graduate courses offered were
populated by both MA and MFA students. The lack of an MA program will not have any
impact on the continuance of courses currently taught. Since there was no graduate stipend,
assistantship, or tuition reduction for the MA program and its students, neither the
department, college, nor university will be fiscally impacted by the program’s closure.
D. Resulting employee terminations and other possible implications including impact
on other programs:
No employee terminations
