From: Doctor of Professional Studies in Business To: Doctor of Professional Studies in Business English Proficiency Requirements if applicable English Proficiency Requirements if applicable The executive doctorate in business program requires 60 graduate-level credits, the passing of Examinations I and 2, and a publicly-defended dissertation. There are 18 credits of prerequisites from a prior graduate degree (or courses even if a degree wasn’t awarded) applied toward the executive business doctorate degree provided that credits from prior graduate studies were completed in a recognized college or university, and reflect academic coverage in the candidate’s designated area of research interest. The courses are subject to evaluation by the program’s executive director and admissions committee. Any student with a deficiency will be able to make up the deficiency with approved courses.

The executive doctorate in business program requires 60 graduate-level credits, the passing of Examinations I and 2, and a publicly-defended dissertation. A student’s records will be evaluated at the end of each semester, and matriculation may be terminated for unsatisfactory academic performance. This is considered lower than a cumulative GPA of 3.000 and/or failure to meet any other program requirements. All requirements for the degree must be completed no later than four years after matriculation. Periods of official leaves of absence are excluded from the time limits set for completion of degrees. Extension of a time limit must be approved by the Academic Director of the DPS degree program.

related MS degree can be admitted to the program, and will be advised by the admissions committee of specific courses needed to graduate. This applies to a candidate who has significant business experience but no prior graduate business courses.

There are 18 credits of prerequisites from a prior graduate degree (or courses even if a degree wasn’t awarded) applied toward the executive doctorate in business program, provided that credits from prior graduate studies were completed in a regionally accredited college or university in the U.S. or in an institution outside the U.S. accredited by a recognized accrediting entity, and reflect academic coverage in the candidate’s designated area of research interest. Please note that accreditation does not guarantee transfer credit. The courses are subject to evaluation by an ad hoc academic review committee established by the Academic Director of the Doctor of Professional Studies in Business program. Given the varied background of the students, the members of the ad hoc committee will vary in academic background. All graduate level courses will be examined and students may be asked to submit course syllabi. A minimum grade of B is required for courses to be considered for transfer credit. Grades in transfer credit courses are not calculated in the GPA. Any student with a deficiency will be able to make up the deficiency with approved courses. Thus, a candidate who does not have an MBA or related MS degree can be admitted to the program, and will be advised by the admissions committee of specific courses needed to graduate. This applies to a candidate who has significant business experience but no prior graduate business courses. Evaluations will take place during the admissions process. Students who do not qualify for all 18 transfer credits will be admitted conditionally, with the understanding that they make up any missing credits in consultation with the Academic Director. Students may not seek reassessment of transfer credit once they have accepted a place in the program. Note: The Doctor of Professional Studies program reserves the right to make changes in course sequencing and allow students to make course substitutions, with permission of the DPS Ad Hoc Steering Committee or its designated sub-committee.

Prior Courses There are 18 credits of prerequisites from a prior graduate degree (or courses even if a degree wasn’t awarded applied towards the executive doctorate in business degree. Any student with a deficiency will be able to make up the deficiency with approved courses.

supervised by a designated faculty member. Independent study enables students to pursue individualized study in an area of interest not covered in a regular Baruch course, or to pursue a course topic in greater depth. The course should be related to the student’s area of doctoral study, and need not be confined to the Zicklin School of Business. Students might consider doing independent study in psychology, mathematics, etc., with permission.

Effective Term Spring 2020

Rationale: The Doctor of Professional Studies in Business requires completion of 60 credits of graduate level course work. Eighteen of these credits may be transferred based on relevant graduate level course work completed prior to admission, or by enrolling in courses at the graduate level. Once enrolled, students may take courses at Baruch to satisfy these 18 credits. Independent study gives students the flexibility to tailor this course work to their intended area of specialization. Students will also have the ability to replace a course in which they have advanced background with Independent Study.

The deadline for completing independent study and the credit hours assigned conform to Registrar’s Office requirements. The conventional letter grading system is used. The application process will include: identifying and describing the independent study topic; identifying the faculty supervisor; determining with the faculty supervisor requirements for completing the course (deliverables, reading list, due dates, etc.); approval of the DPS Academic Director and faculty supervisor. We are requesting that Independent Study be effective as of spring 2020. It is important that students take advantage of this opportunity as soon as possible.

Section AVII: International Program Agreements

AVII:1.1 INTERNATIONAL STUDENT EXCHANGE AGREEMENT RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, Baruch College ("Baruch") and the National School of Development of Peking University in Beijing, China ("NSD") recognize the mutual benefits of scholastic interaction between their respective institutions; and

WHEREAS, Baruch and NSD have developed a program of study denominated the Baruch College - NSD, Peking University Exchange Program to be offered to their respective students during the academic year (the "Program"); and

WHEREAS, the term of this agreement is for a three-year period beginning August l, 2019 and including two 2-year options to renew; and

WHEREAS, it is anticipated that up to five (5) exchange students from each institution will be enrolled in the program during the 2019-20 academic year; NOW, THEREFORE, be it

RESOLVED: That the Board of Trustees of The City University of New York authorize the President of Baruch College to execute an international student exchange agreement for study abroad on behalf of Baruch College with Peking University's National School of Development (" NSD"), located in Beijing, China. The agreement is for a three-year period beginning August 1, 2019 and shall include up to one two- year options for the College to renew in its best interest. The agreement shall be subject to approval as to form by the University Office of General Counsel.

EXPLANATION: This agreement will enable students enrolled in the College's Baruch College- NSD, Peking University Exchange Program to study at Peking University and Peking University students to study at Baruch College, with enrollment available during the fall and spring semesters. The objective of this program is to provide students at both institutions with an opportunity to complete part of their studies at a foreign location thereby gaining valuable international experience. Although the program will be open to students in a broad range of disciplines, this exchange is specifically designed to appeal to students at both institutions in the fields of financial engineering, mathematical finance and similar STEM-related disciplines. In this way, Baruch hopes to make a semester-long study abroad opportunity more attractive to such students. Neither party to this agreement is obliged to pay any monetary consideration to the other. The equivalent of five (5) exchange students per institution per academic year are expected to participate. These shall be viewed as ten (10) full-time semester student equivalents per institution, per academic year. Two students for one semester shall be equivalent to one student per academic year.

Rationale: Students may take ECO 201 Macroeconomics or ECO 202 Microeconomics in the Common Core since they are approved Pathways; ACC370 Forensic Accounting is an appropriate course for the degree that will successfully transfer to the Forensic Accounting Program at John Jay College, which is the Partner Program in dual degree for Accounting for Forensic Accounting. In addition, the General Elective allows students in the major to take STEM Variants in the Common Core.

Section IV: NEW COURSES AIV.1 Department: Academic Literacy and Linguistics Course Number: CRT 150 Title: Critical thinking and Scientific Inquiry Prerequisites: None Hours: 3 Credits: 3 Course Description: This course develops students’ abilities to reason well about scientific claims, scientific research, and the nature, value, and limits of scientific inquiry. To reason well about scientific claims, students understand and apply central scientific concepts, such as experiment, explanation, cause, effect, correlation, random sampling, testability, prediction, verification, and falsification. In addition, students evaluate instances of reasoning with such concepts by evaluating arguments for and against scientific claims and assessing the significance of possible outcomes of experiments. To reason well about the nature, value, and limits of scientific inquiry, students are introduced to central issues in the philosophy of science, such as the demarcation between science and pseudo-science, the reliability of scientific research, and the (un)reasonableness of beliefs about claims, such as moral and other normative claims, that fall outside the scope of the sciences. Rationale: This is an acceptable Pathways course for the Scientific World. AIV.2 Department: Academic Literacy and Linguistics Course Number: CRT 245 Title: Critical Thinking and Media Literacy Prerequisites: None Hours: 3 Credits: 3 Course Description: Critical Thinking and Media Literacy is designed to help students become truth-seekers in the world of new media. Students develop a critical understanding of the nature of diverse media discourses – including aims to inform, entertain, and persuade – and evaluate their contents for veracity. This course exposes the students to two sets of basic concepts: First, epistemic concepts such as truth, falsity, knowledge, and belief; and second, media concepts, including both traditional (e.g., news, commentary, reporting) and contemporary ones (e.g., social networks, new media, fake news, click-bait). In addition, it provides them with analytical methods to interpret different kinds of media contents, as well as to write critical medial analysis. Rationale: This is an acceptable Pathways course for Individual and Society.

AIV.3 Department: Music and Art Course Number: ART 125 Title: Introduction to Latin American Art Prerequisites: None Hours: 3 Credits: 3 Course Description: This survey examines the art and architecture of Latin America from the pre-Columbian era to the present. The course begins with an analysis of pre-Hispanic iconography, styles, traditions, and techniques in Meso, Central, South America, and the Caribbean. The art of colonial Latin America will be explored to understand the cultural complexity that characterized Spanish colonialism. The development of Modern art in Latin America, following independence and nation building in the 19th century, will be discussed as a series of responses to the influence of international movements and ideas. The course culminates in the exploration of Contemporary Latin American and Latina/o art, including Chicana/o art. Museum visit required. Rationale: This is an acceptable Pathways course for Creative Expression.

SECTION A-III: CHANGES IN DEGREE PROGRAM

A-III:1

Department of Anthropology and Archaeology

B.A. degree program in anthropology HEGIS code 2202; SED program code 02102

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Department requirements (36-39 credits) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three courses chosen from Anthropology 1100 (Culture and Society), 1200 (Human Origins), 1300 (People and Language), or 1400 (Digging the Past). One field or laboratory course chosen from: Anthropology 3470 (Summer Archaeological Field School (Intensive Program)), 3015 (Anthropology Abroad), 3016 (Fieldwork in Anthropology), 3480 (Intersession Archaeological Field School), 3475 (Archaeological Field School: Site Supervision), 4110 (Summer Ethnographic Field School), 3240 (Osteology), 3245 (Digital Methods in Anthropology), 3440 (Zooarchaeology), 3156 (India Global Health: Ethnography), 3301 Language and Culture or 3120W (Ethnography).

Anthropology 4601 Anthropological Theory

Anthropology 4000 (Senior Seminar in Anthropology)

Anthropology 1008 (Mini-course in Selected Topics in Anthropology) Co-requisite with Anthropology 4000

Eighteen additional elective credits; 15 credits must be in courses numbered 3000 and above. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Department recommendations: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Students are advised to concentrate in one or two of the subfields of anthropology (cultural, linguistic, biological anthropology, or archaeology). A concentration consists of three elective courses in one of these four areas.

Local, national, and international field experiences are available during the winter and summer sessions.

Concentrators should take one of the following courses: ANTH 3120W for cultural anthropology concentration; ANTH 3301 for linguistic anthropology concentration; ANTH 3240 or 3425 for biological anthropology concentration; ANTH 3420 for archaeology concentration

Majors should consult a department counselor each year in planning their programs.

Students should plan on taking a field or laboratory course (3470, 3015, 3480, 3475, 4110, 3240, 3440, 3156, or 3120W) as soon as possible after finishing the 1100 - 1400 sequence. Majors should take 4601 Anthropological Theory in the spring of their junior year; 3120W Ethnography or 3245 Digital Research Methods in the fall of their senior year; and the senior seminar (4000) and its co-requisite (1008) in the spring of their senior year. Rationale for major changes The changes we are making to the anthropology degree program fall into several categories addressing requirements, recommendations, and course prerequisites. Overall, these changes are designed to offer our students a more robust major experience, especially as they specialize across the four fields of anthropology (cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, biological anthropology, and archaeology). The changes are geared towards enabling students to develop a range of research methods and to provide them with a deeper understanding of the central anthropological theoretical frameworks as they progress in the major, which will provide a shared foundation for all our majors as they take their various elective courses. These changes are also designed to enhance students’ ability to successfully complete their senior thesis projects by providing them with more in-depth one-on-one consultation time with their individual advisors. Effective date: fall 2019 A-III:2 Department of Art Effective date: Fall 2020 B.A. degree program in art history HEGIS code 1003 NYS SED program code 81408 Department requirements (33-36 credits) The department chair, with the approval of the chair of the department’s undergraduate curriculum committee, may allow substitutions for one or more of these requirements consistent with the educational goals of the program. Art 1050 or Core Studies 2.1 or Core Curriculum 1120 or Art 1010 or, with permission of the chairperson, Art 1150. Art 2210 and 3066 and 4190 Art 2211 or 2310. Eighteen additional credits in art history courses, chosen from at least three of the following subject areas: a) Ancient and medieval art b) Early modern European art c) Modern European and American art

d) Asian, African, and Oceanic art, and indigenous art of the Americas e) Architecture f) Special studies Special topics and honors courses in the above subject areas can count toward the fulfillment of the subject-area requirement with permission of the instructor and the chairperson. Foreign language requirement for the major: Completion at the college's course-level 3 (the third semester of a language) of French, German, Italian, or Spanish or passing an examination demonstrating an equivalent proficiency in reading and writing the chosen language. Another language may be substituted with permission of the chairperson. Admission to the college's course-level 3 may be gained by the completion of a course at course-level 2 (the second semester of a language) or two years of the language in secondary school. One year of the language in secondary school admits a student to course-level 2 while a student with no knowledge of the language must begin at course-level 1. Exemptions from the foreign language requirement will be granted to students who have completed three years of the language in secondary school or passed the Regents level-3 examination or whose native language is other than English but who in the latter case must pass a Department of Modern Languages and Literatures proficiency examination. Rationale: In recent years, our department has seen a rise in transfer students. They often have difficulty getting credit toward the major for courses taken in their former institution, costing them time and money and sometimes delaying graduation. This change will streamline the permissions process, making it less cumbersome and easier for students to get the full credit they deserve in a timely manner. SECTION A-III: CHANGES IN DEGREE REQUIREMENTS A-III:3 Department of Early Childhood Education and Art Education Effective date: Fall 2019 B.A. degree program for early childhood education teacher (birth-grade 2) HEGIS code 0823 NYS SED program code 26737 Early childhood education is a writing-intensive major program. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Program requirements --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Completion of the B.A. degree with a major in early childhood education qualifies students to apply for New York State initial teacher certification (birth through grade 2). To obtain New York State initial teacher certification in early childhood education all required

State examinations must be passed. Students majoring in the early childhood education teacher program must be exempt from the speech course requirement. In addition to fulfilling the CUNY Pathways requirements, students must complete a liberal arts and sciences concentration (30 credits) or have a second major. Specific requirements apply for each concentration and major. Students should consult separate listings for the following departments and meet with an adviser in the Early Childhood Education and Art Education Department: American studies; anthropology and archaeology; art; children and youth studies; classics; English; general science; health and nutrition sciences; history; Judaic studies; mathematics; modern languages and literatures (including Chinese, French, Italian, Russian, Spanish); music; philosophy; political science; psychology; Puerto Rican and Latino studies; sociology; theater; urban sustainability; women's and gender studies. (Additional concentrations and majors may be offered). Students must also complete the following courses and their co-requisites and pre-requisites, with a C or higher: Psychology 3240 or Early Childhood and Art Education 3001, Health and Nutrition Sciences 2170, or Puerto Rican Latino Studies 4410; Communications Arts, Sciences, and Disorders 1114; Mathematics 10061021 and 1010 [C- is acceptable for MATH 10061021 or 1010], MATH 1401, or a mathematics course at an equivalent level such as Mathematics 1201 or higher than MATH 1401, and, Mathematics 1406; and General Science 3050 (16-17-18 credits). It is required that students take both Mathematics 1010 and Mathematics 1021 concurrently. In addition, students must complete the following pedagogical courses: Early Childhood and Art Education 2003, 2004, 3101, 3102, 3103, 3104, 3105, 3106, 3107, 3108, and 4001 (33 37 credits). Each Early Childhood and Art Education course must be completed with a grade of C or higher and a grade point average of 2.80 or higher in liberal arts and sciences courses. To be accepted into the early childhood education program, a student must have met the following requirements: 1. Completed English 1010 and 1012, with a C or better. 2. Completed at least 40 credits in liberal arts and sciences courses with a GPA of 2.80 or higher. 3. Passed the ECAE department Math proficiency exam with a score of 80% or higher (pre-requisite for Math 1401) and passed the department Literacy exam. 4. Immunizations must be up-to-date. 5. DOI and/or DOE Finger printing must be completed and cleared. To continue as a matriculated undergraduate EC student, the following NYS exams are required at the specified transition points: 1. Passed the Educating All Students (EAS) at the end of ECAE 3102 and 3108. 2. Passed the CST Multiple Subject-EC exams one semester prior to student teaching (we recommend students take the 3 different sections of the exam in this sequence: CST Arts & Sciences at the end of ECAE 3105; CST-EC Literacy at the end of ECAE 3104; and CST-EC Math at the end of Math 1406). To be accepted into student-teaching in the dual early childhood/teaching students with disabilities in early childhood (ECAE 4001), a student must have met the following

requirements: 1. Completed all required Early Childhood and Art Education courses with a grade point average of 3.00 or higher. 2. Completed at least 60 credits in liberal arts and sciences courses and concentration courses with a grade point average of 2.80 or higher. Note: A student who received a grade lower than a B in student-teaching must apply to the ECAE chairperson for permission to reregister for student-teaching. Students will be allowed to repeat an ECAE course (including student teaching) only once. Throughout student-teaching, students complete and submit their final NYS certification exam, the Teacher Performance Assessment (EdTPA), which involves submitting video clips of teaching, lesson plans, and commentaries on planning, instruction and assessment. Students not seeking certification must schedule a meeting with the Undergraduate Early Childhood Advisor or Undergraduate EC Coordinator to set up an alternative transition point plan during their initial semester. Rationale: PSYC 3240 has been eliminated as a choice to meet requirements for the early childhood education teacher major due to the two required prerequisites (PSYC 1000 and PSYC 2210). These prerequisites bring our program to over 120 credits, and therefore, our students do not receive TAP for these courses, so the financial burden falls on the student. In its place, we have added the choice of the Parents as Teachers during the Early Years course (ECAE 3001) and Bilingualism in the 21st Century (PRLS 4410), since our culturally and linguistically diverse teacher candidates would greatly benefit from having a deeper understanding of bilingual language acquisition, culturally and linguistically diverse children and families, and how-to better support children and parent-child relationships in their roles as early childhood teachers. Replacing Math 1010/1021 with Math 1006 will allow our students to develop a deeper and more solid understanding of the computational skills teaching relevant topics in algebra and satisfy state standards. Finally, we corrected a miscalculation of total ECAE credits required. A-III:4 Department of Early Childhood Education and Art Education Effective date: Fall 2019 Dual certification for early childhood education teacher & teaching students with disabilities in early childhood HEGIS code 0823 NYS SED program code 27988 The dual early childhood education/teaching students with disabilities in early childhood education is a writing-intensive major program. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Program Requirements ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Completion of the B.A. degree with a dual major in early childhood education/teaching students with disabilities in early childhood, which includes the additional requirements in early childhood special education, qualifies students to apply for New York State initial teacher certification (birth through grade 2).

To obtain New York State initial teacher certification in dual early childhood education/teaching students with disabilities in early childhood, all New York State exams must be passed. Students majoring in the dual certification for early childhood education teacher and teaching students with disabilities in early childhood must be exempt from the speech course requirement. In addition to fulfilling the CUNY Pathways requirements, students must complete a liberal arts and sciences concentration (30 credits) or have a second major. Specific requirements apply for each concentration and major. Students should consult separate listings for the following departments and meet with an adviser in the Early Childhood Education and Art Education Department: American studies; anthropology and archaeology; art; children and youth studies; classics; English; general science; health and nutrition sciences; history; Judaic studies; mathematics; modern languages and literatures (including Chinese, French, Italian, Russian, Spanish); music; philosophy; political science; psychology; Puerto Rican and Latino studies; sociology; theater; urban sustainability; women's and gender studies. (Additional concentrations and majors may be offered).

It is required that students take both Mathematics 1010 and Mathematics 1021 concurrently. In addition, students must complete the following pedagogical courses: Early Childhood and Art Education 2003, 2004, 3101, 3102, 3103, 3104, 3105, 3106, 3107, 3108, 3109, 4020 and 4001 (43 credits). Students wishing to obtain dual certification for early childhood education teacher and teaching students with disabilities in early childhood must complete Early Childhood and Art Education 3108, 3109, 4020 and their prerequisites as well as 75 hours of field experiences in settings for students with disabilities in early childhood education and 300 hours of student teaching in inclusive early childhood settings. Each Early Childhood and Art Education course must be completed with a grade of C or higher and a grade point average of 2.80 or higher in liberal arts and sciences courses must be maintained. To be accepted into the Dual certification program for early childhood education and teaching students with disabilities in early childhood, a student must have met the following requirements: 1. Completed English 1010 and 1012, with a C or better. 2. Completed at least 40 credits in liberal arts and sciences courses with a GPA of 2.80 or higher. 3.

Section A-III: CHANGE IN DEGREE PROGRAM A-III:5 Department of Economics Effective date: Fall 2019 B.A. degree program in economics HEGIS code 2204; SED program code 01889









--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Department requirements (34-38 credits) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a. All of the following: Economics 2100, 2200; Economics 3400 or Business 3400 or Mathematics 1501 or 2501 or 3501; Economics 3410 or Mathematics 2101. b. Economics 4400W or Business 4400W. c. At least one of the following courses: Economics 3102, 3202. d. One of the following three concentrations: 1. Financial and International Economics: Any four courses from Economics or Finance [Business] 3320, Economics 3332, 3342, 3352, 3362, Economics or Finance [Business] 3370, Economics or Finance [Business] 3375, Economics or Finance [Business] 3378. 2. Urban Economics and Public Policy: Any four courses from Economics 3154, 3212, 3222, 3232, 3242, 3252, 3253, 3254. 3. Economic Analysis: Economics 3102 and 3202, one of which can be used to satisfy requirement c. Any three Economics courses from the Financial and International Economics or Urban Economics and Public Policy concentrations. e. One additional course selected from those listed under c or d, but with an economics prefix not used to meet requirements in b or c or d above. With permission of the Chair, another course may be substituted. Students considering graduate work in economics are strongly encouraged to take Economics 4422 and the Economic Analysis concentration. Students must achieve a grade of C- or better in each course submitted in satisfaction of Department requirements a, b, c, d and e, and an average grade of C for courses satisfying said major requirements. Note: Only courses submitted in fulfillment of requirements b,c,d and e qualify as “advanced courses” in Economics. ------------------------------------------------------- Writing-Intensive Requirement: ------------------------------------------------------- Students are required to take at least one writing-intensive course (W course). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Residence requirement: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At least 18 credits of the above courses must be taken at Brooklyn College. Candidates for a bachelor’s degree are required to complete at least 30 credits at Brooklyn College, including: 1, The last 18 credits taken toward the degree; and 2, No fewer than 15 credits in advanced courses in the major department, which must be completed with a grade of C- or higher in each course. Rationale: The change in the language of requirement reflects the explicit understanding of the Department of Economics faculty that the requirement for “one additional course” requires that the student take an additional advanced elective. The ambiguity of the current Bulletin language does not provide clear guidance to DegreeWorks, and allows such courses as Economics 2002 and Economics 2200 to be used to satisfy the requirements for one additional course. I have discussed this change with Vice-President Lillian O’Reilly and Provost Lopes, and have been encouraged to proceed as quickly as possible.

The note concerning the definition of advanced electives reflects the explicit understanding of the Department of Economics faculty that introductory courses listed under requirement a are not advanced courses. This is another area that has caused difficulty in DegreeWorks. The change in the residence requirement restates the Brooklyn College requirements, to minimize confusion. A-III:6 Department of Puerto Rican and Latino Studies Effective Date: Fall 2020 B.A. degree program in Puerto Rican and Latino studies HEGIS code 0308; SED program code 01976 Concentration(s) for majors in early childhood and childhood education teacher programs Puerto Rican and Latino Studies The requirements for the teacher education programs indicated above are described in the Early Childhood and Art Education and the Childhood, Bilingual, and Special Education sections of this Bulletin. Students who major in either of these programs and who elect a concentration in Puerto Rican and Latino studies must complete 31-34 credits in the Puerto Rican and Latino Studies Department with a grade of C or higher in each course. Students must meet with a department adviser to declare their intention to complete this sequence. Concentration requirements: All of the following courses: Puerto Rican and Latino Studies 1001, 2005, 3325, and 4420 4410. Six of the following courses: Puerto Rican and Latino Studies 2300, 2320, 3105, 3120, 3125, 3205 through 3320W, 3330, 4450, 4510, 4615, 4635, 4640, 4645. With permission of the departmental curriculum committee, appropriate PRLS course substitutions are allowed in the concentration under special circumstances. Rationale: We updated the credit range for this concentration to account for the four credit elective courses, should students choose to take them. PRLS 4420 “English as a New Language for Emergent Bilingual Children” was substituted for PRLS 4410 “Bilingualism in the 21st Century” to align with our new PRLS-Early Childhood/Childhood Education track major, which is designed to incorporate all of the fixed concentration requirements into the newly created PRLS Education track majors. It was deemed PRLS 4410 was a more suitable course for this track for future teachers rather than the more focused course, PRLS 4420. A-III:7 Department of Puerto Rican and Latino Studies

Effective Date: Fall 2020 B.A. degree program in Puerto Rican and Latino studies HEGIS code 0308; SED program code 01976 Concentration(s) for majors in early childhood and childhood education teacher programs Puerto Rican and Latino Studies - Bilingual The requirements for the childhood education teacher (grades 1-6) with an extension of the certificate for bilingual (Spanish-English) education program is described in the section of the Undergraduate Bulletin relating to the Department of Childhood, Bilingual and Special Education. Students who major in this program must complete 31-34 credits in the Puerto Rican and Latino Studies Department with a grade of C or higher in each course. Students must meet with a department adviser to declare their intention to complete this sequence. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Concentration requirements: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Puerto Rican and Latino Studies 2005, 4410, 4415, 4420, 4425, 4430. Three of the following courses: Puerto Rican and Latino Studies 1001, 2300, 2320, 3105, 3120, 3125, 3205, 3210, 3215, 3220, 3315 (same as Africana Studies 3240 and Comparative Literature 3623), 3320W, 3325, 4450, 4510, 4615, 4635, 4640, 4645. With permission of the departmental curriculum committee, appropriate PRLS course substitutions are allowed in the concentrations under special circumstances. Rationale: The only change herein in lies in the credit range for this concentration; we updated it to account for the four credit elective courses, should students choose to take them. SECTION A-IV: NEW COURSE A-IV:1 BUSN 3125 Principles of Selling 3 hours; 3 credits Overview of the selling process. Identification of the elements of the communication process between buyers and sellers. Examination of the legal and ethical issues of organizations that affect salespeople.

A-V:14 Department of Anthropology and Archaeology Change in course title and course description and prerequisites Effective date: Fall 2019 From: ANTH 3245 Digital Methods in Anthropology 3 hours plus independent laboratory work; 4 credits

Hands-on, computer-based course introducing two- and three-dimensional digitalization methods for capturing and quantifying the morphology of anthropological specimens and artifacts. Case studies and student projects help place these methods in scientific context. Prerequisite: Anthropology 1200 or 1400 or 2205 or 2402 or 2407 or 3230 or 3240 or permission of instructor or department chair. To: ANTH 3245 Research Methods in Anthropology 3 hours plus independent laboratory work; 4 credits Hands-on, quantitative course introducing field and laboratory research methods in biological anthropology and archaeology, including methods for capturing and quantifying the morphology of anthropological specimens and artifacts. Students will conduct their own field, laboratory or literature-based research projects to get experience in study design, data collection, analysis and interpretation, and effective communication of research. Case studies and student projects help place these methods in scientific context. Prerequisite: Anthropology 1200 or 1400 or 3230 or 3240 or permission of department chair. Rationale: This course was originally designed to focus on digital methods in biological anthropology and archaeology. However, soon after it was passed, the faculty member who designed it and intended to teach it left the college. We are redesigning this course to focus specifically on quantitative and other research methods of biological anthropology and archaeology. One of the goals of this course is to give students the training and skills required to conduct their own research and work towards that by doing independent projects. Each student will be responsible for generating ideas for a research project, writing a short research proposal, analyzing data, writing a scientific paper and then presenting to the class at the end of the semester. In addition to lectures and class activities, much of this process requires students to also do independent work outside the class including directed readings and short writing assignments as practical applications of topics covered in class. Through critique and analysis of seminal papers via both writing and seminar-style discussions, students will develop and hone their analytical, critical thinking and writing skills. The independent lab work will thus consist of directed reading, writing, and research methods exercises. This updated description is more aligned with current methods that students in the scientific disciplines of anthropology should know. This course will then mirror ANTH 3120W, which has been the primary research methods course for our cultural and linguistic concentrating students. Whereas the course as originally designed was narrow in its focus, the redesigned course will be broader in its coverage and will thus be of interest to more students in anthropology. With the addition of this course, we will cover methods in all four fields of anthropology in the department and can thus offer students a more well-rounded training in anthropology. Like 3120W, 3245 will be offered every fall, and provide students with the opportunity to develop their research skills and begin doing their own independent research projects as the basis for writing their senior thesis (which they do in the spring of their senior year in ANTH 4000).

A-V:31 Department of Anthropology and Archaeology Change in prerequisites and in course description Effective date of change: Fall 2019 From: ANTH 4000 Senior Seminar in Anthropology 2 hours and independent work; 3 credits Senior seminar; research and completion of a senior thesis on a topic in one of the four sub-fields in anthropology, selected after conferring with advisor. Intensive writing course required for majors. Prerequisite: Completion of the appropriate introductory (1000 and 2000 level) courses and field course for a major in Anthropology and Archaeology plus at least 12 credits in Anthropology and Archaeology Department courses numbered 3000 and higher, or permission of the chairperson. To: ANTH 4000 Senior Seminar in Anthropology 3 hours; 3 credits Senior seminar; research and completion of a senior thesis on a topic in one of the four sub-fields in anthropology, selected after conferring with advisor. Intensive writing course required for majors. Prerequisite: Completion of the appropriate introductory (1000 and 2000 level) courses and field course for a major in Anthropology and Archaeology plus at least 12 credits in Anthropology and Archaeology Department courses numbered 3000 and higher, 3120W Ethnography or 3245 Research Methods, 4601 Anthropological Theory, or permission of the chairperson. Co-requisite: 1008 Mini-course in Selected Topics in Anthropology. Rationale: Changing from 2 hours plus independent work to 3 hours will allow more time for in-class time and interaction, which is essential in this course. The new requirements are to help students build their anthropological knowledge and skills in a useful sequence as they move toward and through their independent research projects and senior theses. Taking 4601 in the spring of their junior year will ensure that they enter their senior year, when they develop their independent research projects, which culminate in their senior theses, with a solid foundation in central anthropological theory. Taking 3120W or 3245 in the fall of their senior will give them the opportunity to develop an independent research project as well as gain the methodological skills necessary to carry out this research, providing the base of data collection for their senior thesis project. Making 1008 a corequisite with 4000 (to be taken in the spring of their senior year,

which we already advise them to do) will enable them to work closely with a faculty advisor who specializes in their topic and research area.

A-V:36 Department of Chemistry Change in prerequisite FROM: CHEM *1050 General Chemistry IA 3 hours lecture; 3 credits Introduction to the principles of chemistry with more introductory material than is covered in Chemistry *1100 [1]. Chemistry *1050 [1.1] and *2050 [1.2] constitute a two-term sequence intended for students who are not prepared for Chemistry *1100 [1]. (Not open to students who are enrolled in or who have completed Chemistry *1100 [1].) Prerequisite: a passing grade in high school chemistry. TO:

CHEM *1050 General Chemistry IA 3 hours lecture; 3 credits Introduction to the principles of chemistry with more introductory material than is covered in Chemistry *1100 [1]. Chemistry *1050 [1.1] and *2050 [1.2] constitute a two-term sequence intended for students who are not prepared for Chemistry *1100 [1]. (Not open to students who are enrolled in or who have completed Chemistry *1100 [1].) Students seeking to continue to Chemistry 2100 should check the mathematics pre-requisites for Chemistry 2100 and plan their class schedule accordingly. Prerequisite: Math 1006 or Math 1021, or placement into Mathematics 1011, 1012, 1026, 1201, 1206, or any Mathematics course numbered 2000 or higher. Rationale : The Department of Mathematics has recently altered its offerings to make Math 1006 College Algebra serve as a pre-requisite for Math 1011. Since the Department of Mathematics will now be determining competency with college level algebra (implicitly, by placement in Math 1011 or higher level courses), the high school requirement is eliminated to avoid confusion. Faculty who teach regularly in the general chemistry sequence have expressed enthusiastic support for this change, as inadequate preparation in mathematics has been a persistent problem. The addition of the warning to students to review the mathematics pre-requisite for Chemistry 2100 is intended to ensure students are aware of the pre-calculus requirement for the course. Effective date: Fall 2020 A-V:37 Department of Chemistry Change in prerequisite FROM: CHEM *1100 General Chemistry I 1 hour recitation, 3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory; 5 credits Principles of chemistry.

Faculty who teach regularly in the general chemistry sequence have expressed enthusiastic support for this change, as inadequate preparation in mathematics has been a persistent problem. The co-requisite for pre-calculus is removed, as the subject matter for that course is not used in Chemistry 1100. It is used in Chemistry 2100, and the pre-requisite has been moved there; this offers students additional flexibility in planning their schedule. The addition of the warning to students to review the mathematics pre-requisite for Chemistry 2100 is intended to ensure students are aware of the pre-calculus requirement for the course. Effective date: Fall 2020 A-V:38 Department of Chemistry Change in prerequisite FROM: CHEM *2100 General Chemistry II 1 hour recitation, 3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory; 5 credits Continuation of Chemistry *1100 [1]. STEM variant course – Satisfies Pathways Required Core Life and Physical Sciences. Prerequisite: Chemistry *1100 [1] or 2050 [1.2]. TO: CHEM *2100 General Chemistry II 1 hour recitation, 3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory; 5 credits Continuation of Chemistry *1100 [1]. STEM variant course – Satisfies Pathways Required Core Life and Physical Sciences. Prerequisite: Chemistry *1100 [1] or 2050 [1.2]; Mathematics 1011 or 1012 or 1026, or placement into Mathematics 1011, 1012, 1026, 1201, 1206, or any Mathematics course numbered 2000 or higher. Rationale : Previously, pre-calculus mathematics had been a pre-/co-requisite for Chemistry 1100. A review of the curriculum revealed that the topics covered in the course were not

relevant to Chemistry 1100, but were used early in the semester in Chemistry 2100. Consequently, it was decided to make pre-calculus a pre-requisite for Chemistry 2100. This gives students greater freedom in scheduling their classes. A warning was added to the description of Chemistry 1100 and Chemistry 1050 so that students know to check the mathematics requirements for Chemistry 2100. Effective date: Fall 2020 A-V:39 Department of Chemistry Change in prerequisite CHEM 3522 Organic Chemistry II Laboratory 4 hours laboratory; 2 credits An introduction to basic laboratory skills of organic chemistry. Emphasis is placed on qualitative analysis and spectroscopic identification of compounds. (Students who have taken Chemistry 2500 or Chemistry 3520 will lose credit for Chemistry 2500 or 3520 upon successful completion of this course.) Prerequisite: Chemistry 3512 or Chemistry 3510 Prerequisite/Corequisite: Chemistry 3521 Rationale : Chemistry 3510 is a combined course offering for Organic Chemistry I and II (now covered as separate lab and lecture in Chem 3512 and 3511, respectively). The change is useful because some transfer students still have organic chemistry courses at their former institution that are evaluated as equivalent to Chem 3510, and should be able to register for Chem 3521 and Chem 3522. Effective date: Fall 2020 A-V:40 Department of Chemistry Change in title and description Effective date of change: Fall 2020 From: CHEM 4600 Physical Chemistry for the Health Professions 3 hours lecture; 3 credits Physical chemistry with applications to biochemical processes. Topics include thermodynamics, chemical and physical equilibria, transport phenomena, kinetics, and quantum chemistry. Not recommended for students who intend to take graduate courses in chemistry or biochemistry. Students who complete Chemistry 4600 [60.1] may take Chemistry 4610 [61], but must forfeit three credits of Chemistry 4600 [60.1].

Prerequisite or corequisite: Physics *2100 [2] or 2150 [2.5]. Rationale: The faculty of the Department of Chemistry has established that the existing title of the course does not accurately reflect the course content and its role within the curriculum for the chemistry major. The proposed new title would make it clear to students that the subject of Physical Chemistry is very broad and not limited to health-related professions. It has also been established that, based on the course history of graduate students admitted to the CUNY PhD Program in Biochemistry and elsewhere nationally, that the course curriculum is appropriate for students who intend to take graduate courses in biochemistry.

TO: PSYC 3530 Advanced Cognitive Psychology 3 hours; 3 credits Advanced approach to areas in cognitive psychology such as memory, problem solving, decision making, language, imagery, and other cognitive processes; with a greater emphasis on theoretical models, research studies, and primary sources. Issues to be covered may include artificial intelligence (AI), automatic vs. controlled processes, and practical or applied aspects of attention, memory, decision making, language, and creativity. Prerequisite: Psychology 1000; Psychology 2530 or Psychology 2610/Biology 2020. Rationale: The Psychology Department recently (fall 2018) began offering an intermediate-level survey course in cognitive psychology (PSYC 2530, Introduction to Cognitive Psychology). In

order to better prepare students for the more advanced content course in cognitive psychology (PSYC 3530), PSYC 2530 or PSYC2610/BIOL 2020 will be added as a prerequisite. Bulletin description has been updated to reflect content of course, and distinguish this course from PSYC 2530. In addition, to better distinguish the levels of the two courses, PSYC 3530 will be renamed to Advanced Cognitive Psychology. Previous notation of course numbers will also be removed. A-V:49 Program in the Studies of Religion Change in course titles and descriptions FROM: RELG 3003 : Questions of Text and Truth: Introduction to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam 3 hours; 3 credits A consideration of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam in terms of their origins, major beliefs, practices, and history. Introduction to the concepts of myth, symbol, ritual, and doctrine. Relationship of these religions to cultural changes, literary and artistic developments, community life, and individual identity.

Final paper involves empirical research and is written in the style of an academic journal article. Writing-intensive course. Prerequisite: Sociology 2101, 2102, 2111, and 2112 with a grade of B- or higher; English *1012; senior status or permission of the chairperson. TO: SOCY 5201W Senior Seminar 3 hours plus conference and independent work; 4 credits Capstone seminar for majors. Topics will vary each semester. Course description may be obtained in the Sociology Department office prior to registration. Final paper involves empirical research and is written in the style of an academic journal article. Writing-intensive course. Prerequisite: Sociology 2101, 2102, 2111, and 2112 with a grade of B- or higher; English *1012; senior status or permission of the chairperson Rationale: The course was intended to provide 4 work hours to faculty teaching the course and 4 credits to students. At some unknown moment, the phrase “plus conference” was removed from the description which apparently resulted in a loss of 1 faculty work-hour. After a few years of manual correction of work load, the source of the difficulty was identified addressed through this modification to the listing. Effective date: Fall 2020 Section A-VI: OTHER CHANGES A-VI: 1 Department of Africana Studies Effective Date: Fall 2020 Minor in African American Studies A program of 15 credits, nine of which must be advanced electives in Africana studies. Each course must be completed with a grade of C or higher. Students must complete 1 and 2 below. 1. Africana Studies 3120 or 3121 or 3130 2. Twelve additional credits selected from Africana Studies 3120, 3121, 3130, 3135, 3138, 3210, 3230, 3260; Africana Studies 3125 or Political Science 3151; Africana Studies 3127 or Political Science 3157 or Women’s and Gender Studies 3350; Africana Studies 3220 or English 3160; Africana Studies 3221 or English 3161; Africana Studies 3236 or Music 2101; Africana Studies 3237, Africana Studies 3233; Africana Studies 3225 or Theater 2501; Africana Studies 3228 or American Studies 3306; Africana Studies 3328 or Sociology 2601; Africana Studies 3265, 3337, 3324, 3330, 3331, 3320, 3344, 3355; 3360; Africana Studies 3362 or Women’s and Gender Studies 3488; Africana Studies 3367; Economics 3222; History 3430; Music 20.4; Political Science 3150; Sociology 3204, 2210, 2200, 2601.

Rationale: The addition of Africana Studies 3135 (regularly offered as part of the Flexible Core) responds to both student interest and departmental philosophy about the positioning of general education courses in our curriculum. The addition of Africana Studies 3362 and 3127 is an update of the curriculum to include a new course and a course offered by another department that speaks to our area of interest. A-VI: 2 Department of Africana Studies Effective Date: Fall 2020 Minor in Literatures and Cultures of the African Diaspora A program of 16 credits of advanced electives. Each course must be completed with a grade of C or higher. Students must complete 1 and 2 below. 1. Africana Studies 3221 or English 3161 2. One of the following: Africana Studies 3230, 3210, 3201 or Comparative Literature 3262. 3. Nine credits chosen from the following: Africana Studies 3230; Africana Studies 3220 or English 3160; Africana Studies 3236 or Music 2101; Africana Studies 3233; Africana Studies 3237 or Music 2104; Africana Studies 3225 or Theater 2502; Africana Studies 24.7; Africana Studies 3205 or Comparative Literature 3619; Africana Studies 3228 or American Studies 3306; Africana Studies 3215 or American Studies 3709; Africana Studies 3260 or English 3162; Africana Studies 3243 or Caribbean Studies 3000; Africana Studies 3245 or English 3194 or Comparative Literature 3627; Africana Studies 3240 or Comparative Literature 3623 or Puerto Rican and Latino Studies 3315; Africana Studies 3246 or Comparative Literature 3630; Africana Studies 3247; Africana Studies 3265; French 48.1; Spanish 49. Rationale: The addition of Africana Studies 3247 (regularly offered as a College Option course) responds to both student interest and departmental philosophy about the positioning of general education courses in our curriculum. The addition of Comparative Literature 3262 reflects a newly cross-listed course and the addition of Africana Studies 3233 corrects an oversight in previous editions of the bulletin. A-VI:3 Department of Puerto Rican and Latino Studies Effective Date: Fall 2020 Minor in Latin American Studies ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Department Requirements ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An interdisciplinary and social science-based minor in Latin American studies, offered by the Department of Puerto Rican and Latino Studies in collaboration with faculty from other social

science departments, requiring 15-16 advanced credits, each completed with a grade of C or higher. Puerto Rican and Latino Studies 3210 or Anthropology and Archaeology 3520. Two of the following: Puerto Rican and Latino Studies 3048, 3205, 3225, 3330, and or History 3520; Puerto Rican and Latino Studies 4615 (with the approval of the Puerto Rican and Latino Studies chairperson when the topic is relevant to this minor) or 5715. Two of the following: History 3510, 3512; Political Science 3304; Puerto Rican and Latino Studies 3110, 3115, 3310, 3330, 4505. Courses presented for this minor may not be counted toward the major in any of the participating departments. At least nine credits must be completed at Brooklyn College. Students should confer with a departmental adviser to plan an appropriate sequence of courses. Rationale: We updated the Latin American Studies minor by deleting courses that have been deleted from the curriculum/bulletin and replacing them with new courses where appropriate. A-VI:4 Department of Puerto Rican and Latino Studies Effective Date: Fall 2020 Minor in Puerto Rican and Latino Studies ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Department Requirements ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A program of 15 17-19 credits in Puerto Rican and Latino studies; Puerto Rican and Latino Studies 1001, 3340, 5710, and 12 6-8 elective credits including one seminar in Puerto Rican and Latino Studies 4510 or 4615 through 5710, each completed with a grade of C or higher. Students should confer with a departmental adviser to plan an appropriate sequence of courses. With permission of the departmental curriculum committee, appropriate PRLS course substitutions are allowed in the minor under special circumstances. Rationale: We updated the PRLS minor to align it more closely to the newly revised PRLS majors by requiring the research methods and research seminar courses. A-VI:5 Program in the Studies of Religion Minor in Religion HEGIS code 1510; SED program code 82421 -------------------------------------------------------------- Department Requirements --------------------------------------------------------------

Fifteen credits from courses listed in the major program's offerings or as approved by program director,; each course must be completed with a grade of C or higher, including and must include one of either Religion RELG 3003, RELG 3005, or RELG 3007/CLAS 3237/HIST 3310. Nine or more of these credits must be completed at Brooklyn College, and only six of these credits can also count towards the students’ non-Religion major and/or Pathways/General Education requirements. Students should meet with the program director to plan a sequence of courses suited to their individual interests or career plans. Rationale: The Religion program seeks to clarify its minor requirements language. The old language did not clearly state that courses that qualify for the minor go beyond the RELG-designated courses, and include all of the courses listed for the major but held in other departments. This language also clarifies that the program director can approve any courses for the Religion minor, easing cases when major courses are not being offered and minor programs need to be completed in time for graduation. Effective date: Fall 2020 A-VI: 6 NYSED code addition to bulletin The MA degree in English Teacher (7-12) has a unique NYSED code for Options A and B and a different NYSED code for Option C. This has not been noted in previous bulletins but will be noted henceforth as follows: M.A. degree program in education: English teacher (7-12) HEGIS code 1501.01; SED program code 26811 (Options A and B), 26810 (Option C)

Rationale: Computer science’s total credits were increased to 128 from 126 because Math dept’s 2 credit increases in Math 20100, Math20200, both from 3 to 4 cr. By replacing Math 20300 (4 cr) with CSc 30000 (3 cr), and eliminating 1 credit from the CSc 32200 lab, computer science Dept restores the total credit count from 128 to the original 126.

Rationale: Added to the list of Technical Electives ENGR 31230: Energy and the Environment. This course was added to the curriculum to provide more depth and to enhance the “energy” concentration within the ESE major. Increasing the number of credits of Math 20100 and Math 20200 (revised 21200) to 4 credits each was approved by the Math Department and presented in the Chancellor’s Report. The proposed changes in our program reflect the realities that our program must adopt the modified calculus sequence which increases our program credits by 2 resulting in the total count of 130 credits for graduation with ESE major.

Rationale: The proposed changes will update this program to include our more recent course offerings. It will also make the requirements for this major, which have historically been rather vague, more explicit. This will reduce student confusion regarding the need for preparation in basic science and mathematics. It will also assist students on financial aid, in particular the New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP), in meeting the requirements for assistance.

Total Credits for Advanced Certificate 30 Total Credits for Advanced Certificate 30 Rationale:

Add four new courses to the list of electives for water resources and environmental engineering students: • CE H1100 Advanced Data Analysis • CE H6100 Water and environmental resources systems analysis • CE I8100 Ambient AQ modeling • CE H8200 AP measurement

Change the name of several existing courses: • CE H7500 Unit Operations in Env Eng • CE H7600 Unit Processes in Env Eng

These courses were made permanent in the associated course change proposal. The names of these courses were changed to better reflect their content.

domains in computer science. The approach is to use examples in fitting statistical models to data as a launching pad for considering aspects of vector calculus and statistical testing. Such numerical statistical models come up in computer vision, artificial intelligence, computer security, network analysis, distributed computing and many other applications. The course will develop required methods in calculus such as multiple integrations, directional derivatives, and Lagrange multipliers. Basic statistical models and fitting via regression will be developed as well as basic numerical optimization. The course will conclude with group projects demonstrating mastery of the material.

Rationale Math has recently revised its calculus sequence: Math 201, Math 202, and Math 203 are now all 4 credits, with all of the vector calculus material from Math 392 now included in these three courses. The current stated intention of Math is that Math 346 will continue to have Math 201, Math 202, and Math 203 as pre-requisites. Math 392 will be eliminated. As a result of the change, Math 203 includes 2 credits of vector calculus which CS students have never been required to take as well as 2 credits of

vector calculus topics from the current version of Math 203. The Computer Science Department has voted unanimously to replace Math 20300 by CSc 30000 in its core curriculum. This course will include the topics from Math 203 needed in CS (specifically Double and Iterated Integrals over Rectangles, Directional Derivatives and Gradient Vectors, Tangent Planes and Differentials, Curves in Space and Their Tangents, Extreme Values and Saddle Points, and Lagrange Multipliers) as well as 15 topics in applied statistics of direct relevance to fields such as data science and machine learning. We note that the addition of CSc 30000 to the core in the context of the other changes recommended here is credit neutral: while Math 201 and Math 202 have each increased by 1 credit, 4 credits are lost by dropping Math 203. This gives a balance of -2 credits. Adding CSc 300 at 3 credits changes the balance to +1, which is then zeroed out by elimination of the lab for software engineering.The Math dept calculus curriculum committee unanimously agreed to make Math 202 as the pre-req to Math 34600, which resolved the pre-req issue for CS dept to replace Math 20300 by CS30000.

EFFECTIVE: Summer 2019 RATIONALE: These are momentous times for teacher education, as a confluence of trends are reshaping the profession. First, research has pointed programs towards emphasizing clinical components while enhancing the integration of coursework with field experiences. Second, general demographic patterns coupled with the pervasive bashing of teachers in American society have depleted the number of students entering teacher preparation programs. Third, a number of non-university based entities are seeking and increasingly receiving approval to establish teacher preparation programs leading to certification. This new sequence aims to address all three of these developments by creating a unique, attractive, field-based program in collaboration with the Department of Education and the United Federation of Teachers. At the same time, it is an appropriate response to longstanding patterns in our assessment data, which indicate that students struggle with and express less confidence in their ability to master a number of applied skill sets, such as classroom management, differentiation, and assessment. We are confident that the teacher residency that is the backbone of Sequence 3 will leave our graduates better prepared to succeed in these areas. Some minor additions have been made to certain categories in Sequence 2 to reflect current course offerings and faculty approvals already in place.

AIII.2 SCIENCE LETTERS AND SOCIETY PROGRAM: NEW MINOR: HONORS MINOR DEPARTMENT/PROGRAM: PROGRAM IN SCIENCE, LETTERS, AND SOCIETY TITLE OF DEGREE/MAJOR/MINOR/CERTIFICATE: HONORS MINOR REQUIREMENTS: Minor: Science, Letters, and Society This minor is not open to SLS majors. A minimum GPA of 3.0 is required for admission, continuation and graduation. Requirement: (16 credits) ENH 200-level course

11

SLS 301 Humanities I: Ancient Cultures SLS 302 Humanities II: Medieval and Early Modern Cultures SLS 303 Humanities III: Modern Cultures TOTAL NUMBER OF CREDITS: 16 RATIONALE: The creation of an Honors Humanities minor will increase the diversity of the student body in these courses. Students who are majoring in other disciplines and choose to complete the Humanities minor will bring a different perspective to class discussions, thereby enhancing the experience for all students, both SLS and non-SLS majors.

AIII.3 DEPARTMENT OF ACCOUNTING AND FINANCE NEW POLICY: ACCELERATED ADMISSION POLICY FOR ACCOUNTING MS PROGRAM PROGRAM CODE: DEPARTMENT/PROGRAM: DEPARTMENT OF ACCOUNTING AND FINANCE TITLE OF DEGREE/MAJOR/MINOR/CERTIFICATE: ACCOUNTING MS REQUIREMENTS: The undergraduate students satisfying the following criteria may be granted permission to take up to three graduate courses (to fulfill their 400 level elective requirements) at undergraduate tuition to be counted towards their bachelor’s degree. These graduate courses will be double-counted toward their master’s degree. This allows students to earn both the bachelor’s and the master’s degrees in five years. Criteria: 1. Current enrollment in bachelor’s degree in Accounting at CSI and successful completion of three years of study with 90 or more earned credits. 2. Cumulative GPA 3.3 or above. 3. Two letters of recommendation, at least one from a fulltime CSI Accounting faculty under whom the applicant has studied. 4. Permissions from the course instructor, the coordinator of the graduate program, and the department chairperson. 5. Application for admission and conditional acceptance to the Accounting MS graduate program. 6. All graduate courses in the M.S. in Accounting can be taken as double-counting courses EFFECTIVE: Fall 2019 RATIONALE: The field of accounting has changed in the last decade in terms of qualifications and practice. Recently, the Accounting Standards Board has required an additional 30 credits of training above the 120 credit of the Bachelor’s degree. This requirement provides an incentive for students to expand their qualifications and there is a good argument that providing a structured academic degree program is more beneficial to a given students as opposed to just taking additional credits as a non-degree student. By allowing our most qualified students to enter our graduate programs early, we should help students reduce the total time to degree and time to professional certification. This program should enhance the competitiveness of our students in the job market and provides them with the opportunity to add an additional academic credential in an affordable way.

The course provides an introduction to computer vision including fundamentals of the image formation and sensing, camera imaging and multiview geometry, light and color, image quality assessment and representation, linear and nonlinear filters, texture analysis and segmentation, supervised and unsupervised learning, feature detection and object recognition, concept of neural networks and deep learning. This is a project-based course, in which you will implement several computer vision algorithms and do a final project on a research topic of your choice. LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES: YES GENERAL EDUCATION: N/A: If a course is being considered to satisfy general education requirements, the proposal will need the approval of both the UCC and the GEC before moving on to FS. COURSE ATTRIBUTE: N/A EFFECTIVE: FALL ROLE IN CURRICULUM: The course is designed to be part of an existing group of graduate-level courses that count as electives in the Computer Science degree. Even though the course is primarily designed for CS students, this technology is useful for students majoring in other disciplines. RATIONALE: As part of our accreditation assessment, there has been a great demand from students for introductory courses in computer vision. It has been offered as a special topic course in Spring 2018, received positive feedbacks from students.

Rationale: A void in the program has been a course that centers around how to best build and present a portfolio of

a student’s design work. This portfolio is the tool that students use to apply to 4-year schools and to apply for jobs in the design industry and is crucial to their success in the industry.

Hunter College Academic University Report Detail

Academic University Report Action taken by the Hunter College Senate on February 6 and February 20, 2019. HUNTER COLLEGE ACADEMIC UNIVERSITY REPORT MARCH 2019 Section AI: Special Actions AI.1 New Advanced Certificate Program (This Advanced Certificate has already been approved and is appearing here for informational and tracking purposed only) School of Urban Public Health/Nutrition Hunter College Name of the Program and Certificate Award: Dietetic Internship Advanced Certificate HEGIS #: 1306 NY State Program Code: 39146 Revision: Creation of Advanced Certificate Effective Date: Fall 2018 Detailed Description of the Proposed Modification(s) History and Objectives Since the 1990’s, Hunter’s Nutrition Program has offered an ACEND accredited four course, 12 graduate credit Dietetic Internship (DI) supervised practice experiential learning. Upon completion of the DI, students are qualified to sit for the national Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) Exam conferred by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR). Students pursue the DI after having completed an accredited Didactic Program in Dietetics. The Dietetic internship (DI) was granted developmental accreditation in 1999. It received full accreditation in 2002 and then again 10 years later in 2012. Until Fall 2018, students registered for the stand-alone DI under non-degree status. In Fall 2017, UPH introduced three new MS pathways:

1. NUTR MS-Academic DI (12 cr DI was included as a part of this curriculum) 2. NUTR MS-External DI, 3. NUTR MS-Focus Study.

When these three tracks were reviewed by the NYSED in Summer 2017, it was recommended that the 12 cr stand-alone DI be converted to an advanced certificate since the NYSED wanted to see credit bearing programs tied to either a degree or a certificate. At that time the NYSED created an Advanced Certificate for the 12-credit bearing stand-alone DI (Prog Code 39146). However, since this had not gone through the senate, the certificate was never registered in CUNYFirst. The purpose of this proposal is to rectify that so that the advanced certificate is officially approved by Hunter governance and can be officially conferred through the Registrar’s office.

Justification for the advanced certificate for the existing 12 cr stand-alone DI: Hunter has offered a stand-alone 12 graduate credit bearing Dietetic Internship (DI) for over 20 years. Students have typically completed this accredited DI program as non-matriculants. As a result, they were always lumped with other non-degree students and we were never able to track them or get reports on them. With the creation of the advanced certificate, students are now required to come in as matriculants under the new program code, will count toward our graduate numbers and we will be able to pull reports and track them. In addition, upon completion of the 12 cr certificate these students will show up as completing the certificate program, rather than being mere drop outs and will not impact our program completion rates. NUTR Dietetic Internship (DI) Prerequisite Requirements Completion of an ACEND accredited undergraduate or graduate Didactic Program (courses 3 credits each unless otherwise noted) NUTR Experiential Practice Courses (12 credits) NUTR 700 Seminar in Dietetics Practice NUTR 701 Pre-Professional Practice in Dietetics: Clinical NUTR 702 Pre-Professional Practice in Dietetics: Food Service NUTR 703 Pre-Professional Practice in Dietetics: Community Total credits required for Advanced Certificate: 12

4. Rationale: A single paragraph of justification. With the creation of the advanced certificate, students are now required to come in as

matriculants and will count toward our graduate enrollment. With the new program code we will be able to pull reports and track them. In addition, upon completion of the 12 cr certificate these students will show up as completing their certificate program, rather than being mere drop outs and not impact our program completion rates. Target student audience for the Nutrition Advanced Certificate are

• academically strong DPD graduates from other institutions looking to complete a credit-bearing supervised practice (DI) at the graduate level

Section AIII: Changes in Degree Programs AIII.1 The following is the revised curriculum for the Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages program leading to the Advanced Certificate. Department of Curriculum & Teaching Hunter College, CUNY

Proposed Changes in a Degree Program Program Name and Degree Awarded: TESOL (TESFESL-AC) – Advanced Certificate HEGIS Code: 1508.00 NY State Program Code: 37719 Effective term: Fall 19 Program Learning Outcomes: The knowledge and skills that program completers obtain in the program include but are not limited to:

● Knowledge of language and language learning theory ● Knowledge of appropriate pedagogical techniques for ELLs ● Knowledge of School, City, and State policies and procedures regarding ELL instruction ● Skill in instruction, support, and advocacy for ELL students and their families

Equipped with this knowledge and skill, program completers will be prepared and certified to teach and to support English Language Learner (ELL) students enrolled in New York State PK-12 schools. Detailed Description of the Proposed Modification(s)

1. Replaced EDESL 79100 with LING 77300 as required course 2. Replaced EDESL 79200 with choice of LING 70300 OR EDESL 73200 3. Removed a sentence from Admissions Requirements 4. Fixed a typographical error - “with who hold” 5. Eliminated the comprehensive examination requirement

History and Objectives The overall goals of this proposal are twofold: First, to remove errors and redundancies from the official catalog, and secondly, to better align the required coursework with the needs of educators in the field. We propose to allow students to choose between two courses – EDESL 73200 and LING 70300 – to facilitate students’ time to degree and flexible scheduling. Additionally, we propose to remove a single line from the catalog’s stated admissions requirements, as it is redundant and confusing. A small typographical error should also be removed from the catalog for clarity sake. Finally, the listing of a comprehensive examination requirement should be removed, as is not required or appropriate for an advanced certificate candidate, and in any case is no longer offered by the program.

4. Rationale: This proposal has two distinct rationales. The first is to streamline and clarify the language in the catalog so that students and applicants can easily understand, and eliminate errors and holdovers from previous changes made to our program. The second rationale for this proposal is more substantive. The proposed changes in course requirements will better serve the students for whom this program is intended – working teachers preparing to serve English Language Learners in their classrooms – by providing them with a solid foundation in language and linguistic theory.

Note: The proposal should show the complete text of existing requirements and of proposed requirements. The State Education department requires that all program changes include a complete listing of required courses. Please make sure to list ALL courses required prior to the major. 4. Rationale: (Single paragraph justification) We have made several changes to the BA and MS programs in the Sociology Department. First, we are changing the titles of two courses, Research Methods I and II, to reflect their content more accurately (Qualitative Research Methods and Quantitative Research Methods). Second, we are removing 700-level courses from our list of undergraduate course options. Undergraduate students wishing to take graduate level courses register under 42500 course numbers rather than 700-level numbers. Third, we are clarifying that Rosalyn Tough award winners receive partial, not full, tuition remission. Fourth, we have reworded the internship requirement from months to weeks, and now specify that BA/MS students much complete 12 weeks full-time or 24 weeks part-time internships. This does not change the length of time substantially, but makes the time requirement clearer. Consultation Statement:

Additional Information The program can be completed in two years on a full-time basis, or seven semesters on a part-time basis (two courses per semester minimum). Sub-total 30 Electives 15 Total credits required 45

Note: The proposal should show the complete text of existing requirements and of proposed requirements. The State Education department requires that all program changes include a complete listing of required courses. Please make sure to list ALL courses required prior to the major. 4. Rationale: (Single paragraph justification) We have made several changes to the MS programs in the Sociology Department. First, we are changing the titles of two courses, Research Methods I and II, to reflect their content more accurately (Qualitative Research Methods and Quantitative Research Methods). Second, we have reworded the internship requirement from months to weeks, and now specify that BA/MS students much complete 12 weeks full-time or 24 weeks part-time internships. This does not change the length of time substantially, but makes the time requirement clearer. Consultation Statement:

AIII.4 The following is the revised curriculum for the Philosophy leading to the Bachelor of Arts Degree. DEPARTMENT OF PHILOSOPHY Hunter College, CUNY

Proposed Changes in a Degree Program Program Name and Degree Awarded: BA in Philosophy HEGIS Code: 1509.00 NY State Program Code: 02457 MHC Code HEGIS Code (when applicable): 60178


Effective term: Spring 2020 Program Learning Outcomes: 1. (EXPOSITORY SKILLS) Students should be able to present and explain important philosophical problems and positions orally or in writing.


2. (READING COMPREHENSION SKILLS) Students should be able to analyze a philosophical text, presenting the main points made, identifying the supporting arguments given, and the key principles assumed. 3. (CRITICAL ANALYSIS SKILLS) Students will be able to critically evaluate a philosophical argument, assessing the acceptability of the premises, the strength of support given to the conclusion, taking into account challenges from alternative positions. 4. (THESIS DEFENSE/ARGUMENTATIVE SKILLS) Students will be able to write a paper in which they advance a clearly stated thesis and defend it by logically developing key ideas and arguments, using knowledge of relevant philosophical problems, and making appropriate use and citation of professional philosophical literature. 5. (CONTENT KNOWLEDGE) Students will be able to apply, orally or in writing, key philosophical concepts to address social and ethical problems or central issues in our understanding of knowledge, the world, the natural and social sciences, art and literature, mind and language. Detailed Description of the Proposed Modification(s) This revision makes several changes to the major requirements:

1. Instead of requiring PHILO 21800, we now require PHILO 31800. 2. PHILO 21500 (Foundations of Modern Philosophy) will no longer be required. 3. Previously, the major included a disjunctive requirement of either PHILO 24800

(International Ethics) or PHILO 25000 (Problems of Ethics & Society). To this disjunctive requirement, we are adding two more options: PHILO 24400 (Moral Philosophy) or PHILO 25500 (Environmental Philosophy).

4. In place of requiring PHILO 38000 (Major Figure in Philosophy), we have introduced a disjunctive requirement including 38000 as an option, along with PHILO 31900 (Marxist & Critical Theory and (approved sections of) PHILO 39300 (Philosophical Systems). The “approved sections only” disclaimer is intended to limit this option to instances of the course on topics relevant to the PPS track.

5. One elective requirement has been added, keeping the total required credits at 36, and the list of courses from which electives can be drawn has been altered in some ways.

History and Objectives Last year, we changed the course number of PHILO 21800 to PHILO 31800 in order to encourage students to take it later in their undergraduate careers. But PHILO 21800 is listed as a requirement for the Philosophy Major, and we did not, at that time, update the Philosophy Major Requirements to reflect this change of course number. We wish to do so now. After several years in operation, the PPS track needs revision in order to account for the contributions of new faculty, as well as to deal with various problems of staffing the course offerings in the track. In particular, a number of new courses (eg PHILO 25500, 31900, 34800) deserve incorporation into the major track. Furthermore, allowing somewhat more leeway in choice of courses will enable students to proceed through the major in a more timely fashion, as well as easing current difficulties with the availability of a few courses (eg, PHILO 24800, 25000, 34600).

Rationale: This change is required because PHILO 21800, which was previously required for the major, no longer exists, and has been replaced by PHILO 31800, which will now be required for the major instead. After several years in operation, the PPS track needs revision in order to account for the contributions of new faculty, as well as to deal with various problems of staffing the course offerings in the track. In particular, a number of new courses (eg PHILO 25500, 31900, 34800) deserve incorporation into the major track.

Grading Method A-C, F 2. Course Description:

A. Management of hospice and palliative care treatment modalities for use with diverse populations in multiple settings. B. Writing Requirement: There will be no written assignments. The course content prepares students to take the Hospice & Palliative Nurses Association (HPNA) Certification Examination and is best evaluated by multiple choice and short answer test items.

3. Rationale: (Justification) Palliative care is a resource for anyone living with a serious illness, and can be helpful at any stage of illness. Palliative care that includes symptom management can be provided along with curative treatment. Many Americans die in hospitals or nursing homes when they would like to die at home and receive care for pain and other symptoms and not receive unwanted treatments in a hospital. Hospice care at end of life includes symptom management without curative treatments. Hospice care can be provided in any setting such as a home, nursing home, assisted living facility, or a hospital. This course is designed for advanced practice nursing (APN) students and practitioners involved in the care of individuals of all ages experiencing discomfort from symptoms of acute and chronic illness or trauma. This is a beginning course for current or future APNs planning to serve diverse populations in a variety of settings including hospital, long-term care facilities, community centers, and home.

The course is available as an elective to MS and DNP students. The content is complementary to all of our clinical specialties. The course was offered twice as an experimental NURS 60N04 in Spring 2018 and Spring 2019.

(1) The proposed course is not part of a new academic program. (2) The proposed course is offered as an elective for graduate students in nursing and is

complementary with all of our specialties in the MS and DNP program. a. As rapid technological advances create situations where people survive acute illness and

trauma and/or live longer with chronic illness, there is an abounding need for nurses with knowledge and skill in areas that enhance quality of life. Palliative care and Hospice care are delivered by multi-disciplinary teams so this course focuses on working within teams to manage symptoms of physical and psychological pain and distress caused by illness throughout the lifespan. The current job market for nurses at all levels of practice demands specialty certification in areas such as pain management, palliation and end-of-life care for all ages including newborns, infants, children and adults, and frail elderly

b. The proposed course relates to other clinical nursing courses by expanding and enriching content related to interdisciplinary teamwork.

c. The course does not relate to courses in other departments at this time, but has potential for interdisciplinary offerings with the Schools of Health Professions and Social Work.

d. There is a small degree of overlap with clinical courses in the graduate curriculum, but unique foci of this course is not, and could not, be covered in the depth needed to prepare practitioners who choose to become certified by the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association for the American Nurses Credentialing Center.

A. This course will provide an overview of translation for the medical field and related sciences. The course introduces the students to key terminology, skills, as well as ethics of work in this field. B. Writing Requirement: Students will translate and discuss passages of 350-500 words in length in class and complete at-home translation assignments. At the end of the semester, students will independently translate a medical document (approximately 1,200 words in length), with emphasis on consistency of terminology and writing style.

4. Rationale: (Justification)


of the program (i.e., on a cover sheet or Appendix) At the present time, the course is not being submitted as part of a new program. If the proposed course is part of an established academic program, present a rationale that includes:

g. The advantages offered by the proposal and/or the needs met by the course (i.e.,

student, departmental, community, job market needs); Medical translation and interpretation ranks among the most high-demand sectors of language support services in New York City. The course is specifically designed to prepare students for work as medical translators and interpreters; therefore, it stresses both language-specific skills, such as specialized vocabulary, along with general “best-practices” information on ethical aspects and professional demeanor of medical translators/interpreters, and includes resume-writing and skill-marketing training. The course meets the need for language instruction to be contextualized within specific

professional fields; it addresses the need for trained medical translators and interpreters in the field; it further enhances the existing programs in translation. h. The way in which the proposed course relates to other courses within the department

of origin; The course allows the students to put into practice skills acquired in translation seminars.

i. The way in which the course relates to courses in other departments, divisional or interdisciplinary programs (if appropriate, possibilities for interdisciplinary use might be given); The course is divided into language-neutral and language-specific content areas. The course thus creates a potential module for all language programs at minimal additional cost to the university to provide professional training in medical translation/interpretation for undergraduates. j. Justification for any substantial overlap with other courses in the college curriculum,

indicating the unique/specific focus of the course proposed; The course draws on the existing medical translation course within the Spanish Program but separates the instructional material into language-neutral (to be offered in English) and language specific (Russian and Spanish, respectively) portions. Additionally, the course combines translation training with interpretation and transcription. It also incorporates preparation for the job market, such as resume writing, skill-marketing, and interview preparation, into the curriculum. k.

The course introduces the students to key terminology, skills, as well as ethics of work in this field. B. Writing Requirement: Students will translate and discuss passages of 350-500 words in length in class and complete at-home translation assignments. At the end of the semester, students will independently translate a medical document (approximately 1,200 words in length), with emphasis on consistency of terminology and writing style.



of the program (i.e., on a cover sheet or Appendix) At the present time, the course is not being submitted as part of a new program. If the proposed course is part of an established academic program, present a rationale that includes:

m. The advantages offered by the proposal and/or the needs met by the course (i.e.,

student, departmental, community, job market needs); Medical translation and interpretation ranks among the most high-demand sectors of language support services in New York City. The course is specifically designed to prepare students for work as medical translators and interpreters; therefore, it stresses both language-specific skills, such as specialized vocabulary, along with general “best-practices” information on ethical aspects and professional demeanor of medical translators/interpreters, and includes resume-writing and skill-marketing training. The course meets the need for language instruction to be contextualized within specific professional fields; it addresses the need for trained medical translators and interpreters in the field; it further enhances the existing programs in translation. n. The way in which the proposed course relates to other courses within the department

of origin; The course allows the students to put into practice skills acquired in translation seminars.

o. The way in which the course relates to courses in other departments, divisional or interdisciplinary programs (if appropriate, possibilities for interdisciplinary use might be given); The course is divided into language-neutral and language-specific content areas. The course thus creates a potential module for all language programs at minimal additional cost to the university to provide professional training in medical translation/interpretation for undergraduates. p. Justification for any substantial overlap with other courses in the college curriculum,

indicating the unique/specific focus of the course proposed; The course draws on the existing medical translation course within the Spanish Program but separates the instructional material into language-neutral (to be offered in English) and language specific (Russian and Spanish, respectively) portions. Additionally, the

course combines translation training with interpretation and transcription. It also incorporates preparation for the job market, such as resume writing, skill-marketing, and interview preparation, into the curriculum. q. Please specify if this course was offered as a topics or experimental course in the

past and state the prefix and number. The course is a modification of the existing SPAN 390.02. r. List of courses, if any, which are to be withdrawn when the new course is adopted. (Note: Dropping courses requires a separate Substantive Change in Existing Course proposal.)

A–F


A. A brief description for the College Catalog. This course is designed to introduce students to what philosophers have had to say about history—both in terms of its meaning, if any, and of how to explain and narrate historical events. We will survey the major theories about the philosophy of history, the problems with the concept of historical explanation and interpretation, as well as a variety of major philosophers’ attempts to solve these problems. We will also consider how history relates to cognate disciplines in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities. B. Writing Requirement: the number of papers and their approximate length, the extent to which library or electronic research is expected, or a statement of other writing requirements. Any absence of a formal writing requirement must be specified. This course requires a 5-page diagnositic essay, a 15-page term paper, and a final exam consisting of 2-3 short essays of approximately 2-3 pages each.


A. Nature of the proposed course: This course will cover an active area of philosophy not met by our previous course offerings. We have two faculty members (profs. Dahbour and Kirkland) who work on this area. Prof. Dahbour has offered this course as a special-topics course (PHILO 394.74) in several recent semesters, with good enrollment and positive feedback from students.

5. If the proposed course is part of a new academic program, refer to the overall objectives of the program (i.e., on a cover sheet or Appendix)

The proposed course is not part of a new academic program.

6. If the proposed course is part of an established academic program, present a rationale that includes:

s. The advantages offered by the proposal and/or the needs met by the course (i.e.,

student, departmental, community, job market needs);

t. The way in which the proposed course relates to other courses within the department of origin;

We don’t currently have a course on this topic or on any closely related topic.

u. The way in which the course relates to courses in other departments, divisional or

interdisciplinary programs (if appropriate, possibilities for interdisciplinary use might be given);

The academic field most closely related to this course is history, but the history department does not offer a course on the philosophy of history. We have previously consulted with the history department about whether this course would duplicate their course offerings, and they agreed that it does not. In fact, it has previously been cross-listed as a history course on one of the occassions when it has been offered as a special-topics course. (We are not seeking to cross-list the course at present.)

v. Justification for any substantial overlap with other courses in the college curriculum,

indicating the unique/specific focus of the course proposed; N/A

w. Please specify if this course was offered as a topics or experimental course in the past and state the prefix and number.

B. The following additional information must be supplied in the special instances noted:

3. When ENGL 12000 is to be specified as a Pre- or co-requisite, the rationale must justify this in terms of the writing that is to be done in the course. N/A

4. In the case of courses given in non-organized classes such as field work, internship, independent study, etc., an explanation must be given as to how the student will earn the credits consistent with the student effort required in organized classes. It should be noted that a course may not carry more credits than contact hours. Laboratory courses usually carry one credit per two contact hours.

3. Rationale:

SEDC 715 and SEDC 725 differ only in content area. SEDC 715 focuses on U.S. History and Civics while SEDC 725 focuses on World History and Global Education. They do not need to be taken in sequence. Having SEDC 715 as a pre-requisite has presented problems for students who are admitted in the Spring and for those who are overtallied due to capacity. By disentangling the two courses, students will have much more flexibility in building their course of study. SEDF 705 is removed as a co-requisite because it is unadvisable that students take two courses with a field component. SEDF 705 should be taken prior to SEDC 725. Lastly, in order to minimize confusion, the title of the course will be changed so as not to reflect sequence but rather course content and its focus on curriculum development. This will help instructors and students attend to its distinguishing features and will differentiate the course from SEDC 715, previously Methods I.

Total Credits: 18 Rationale: The course CSCI 273 has been offered for many years and students frequently use it as a major and minor elective with permission of the Department. The course focuses on Java programming which has been a valuable skill for students. Moreover, with the widespread use of Android Apps Java skills have become even more desirable since most app development in the Android environment is done in Java. Students will be able to take this course early in their careers and gain valuable career skills as well as the skills needed for certain upper level courses, for example, Mobile App Development, which is being offered as CSCI 385 in the spring 2019 semester. We also request that a new, recently added course, CSCI 275 Linux System Administration and Security also be added to the Computer Science Minor electives.

Rationale: A gender inclusive term, the term “Latinx” has gained wide acceptance in recent years, particularly within academia. Many academic departments around the country have adopted “Latinx” in their course curricula and they have renamed their departments. Below are several examples: • https://www.amherst.edu/academiclife/departments/latinx-latin-american-studies • http://www.ou.edu/cas/latinx • https://www.skidmore.edu/latin_american/ • http://americanstudies.as.virginia.edu/minor-latinx-studies • https://www.holycross.edu/academics/programs/latin-american-latinx-and-caribbean-studies • https://www.emerson.edu/liberal-arts-interdisciplinary-studies/interdisciplinary-minors/latin-american-latinx-studies Moreover, faculty and students at John Jay College have been embracing the use of Latinx with increasing frequency, favoring its inclusivity as a term. Having acquired growing general acceptance and usage, “Latinx “can now be found in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary (see https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Latinx). AIII.7 The following revisions are proposed for the Latin American and Latina/o Studies Honors Minor Program: Minor in Latin American and Latina/o Studies Honors Minor Program Code: N/A Effective: Fall 2019 Description of the changes: The gendered language of “Latina/o” Studies is being replaced with “Latinx” Studies in the minor name and the course names.

This minor examines U.S. Latino/a authors writing in English and focuses on the four major U.S. Latino/a groups – Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Dominican – as well as other significant U.S. Latino/a populations – Colombian, Peruvian, Ecuadorian, Salvadoran, and Guatemalan. While applying literary criticism and taking an interdisciplinary approach, which may also include the study of music, religion, politics, film, and the visual arts, this minor provides a well–rounded understanding of the cultural elements that contribute to U.S. Latino/a Literature. In addition, this minor will enable students to develop the critical reading and writing skills essential for graduate study and careers in the law, education, public policy, writing, and government.

Latinx Literature Minor Description. This minor examines U.S. Latinx authors writing in English and focuses on the four major U.S. Latinx groups – Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Dominican – as well as other significant U.S. Latinx populations – Colombian, Peruvian, Ecuadorian, Salvadoran, and Guatemalan. While applying literary criticism and taking an interdisciplinary approach, which may also include the study of music, religion, politics, film, and the visual arts, this minor provides a well–rounded understanding of the cultural elements that contribute to U.S. Latinx Literature. In addition, this minor will enable students to develop the critical reading and writing skills essential for graduate study and careers in the law, education, public policy, writing, and government.

Among the broad issues this minor will address include the following: diaspora; bilingual aesthetics; street literature; criminal and social justice; border narratives, citizenship, and the law; experiences of exile; Afro–Latinidad; Latina feminisms; queer identities; orality; and ethnicity. Learning Outcomes. Students will: • Know U.S. Latino/a literature and its role in expanding the American literary canon. • Synthesize and incorporate dominant theoretical and historical perspectives on U.S. Latino/a Literature. • Evaluate principal concepts in U.S. Latino/a Literature including identity, race, nationalism, diaspora, bilingualism, class, and gender. • Analyze multiple ways U.S. Latino/a literature addresses issues related to immigration, national borders, citizenship, crime, incarceration, law enforcement, and the justice system. • Gain an overview of U.S. Latino/a cultural production, with an emphasis on literature, and an interdisciplinary awareness of film, music, and visual art. • Through written work and oral presentations, students will read a text closely and critically, demonstrating analysis at both the verbal and thematic level and acquire writing competence and specific skills in literary argumentation using textual evidence and critical sources. Rationale. The minor will expose students to a dynamic body of literature that, for the past fifty years, has gained national prominence and international acclaim. Latina and Latino writers, poets, essayists, journalists, and playwrights have won major literary awards including the Pulitzer Prize in literature, drama, and poetry. U.S. Latino/a writers come from varying racial, cultural, and geographic locations. These diverse backgrounds give birth to a rich literature whose expressive range and sensibilities significantly enlarge the field of American literature. As with all literature classes, Latino literature classes will help develop student mastery of analytical reading, interpretation, and effective rhetorical skills. As one part of John Jay’s overall rigorous curriculum, the Latino/a Literature minor will help students develop effective written communication skills as well as formulate nuanced perspectives on cultural diversity that are necessary for success in personal and professional endeavors.

**underline the additions Program Specific Admissions Requirements Applicants to the Master of Arts in Economics program must have the following prerequisites:

• One year of calculus (Calculus 1 & 2) or equivalent* • Undergraduate statistics or equivalent

Applicants who did not complete their undergraduate degree at an English-speaking institution are required to submit the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score report. John Jay College’s TOEFL code number is 2115-99. The required minimum TOEFL scores are 550 for the paper-based test, 213 for the computer-based test and 79-80 for the Internet-based test. Students can also take the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). A score of 7.0 is required on the IELTS. *Exceptional candidates without a course in Calculus may be admitted on condition they complete a Calculus course during their first year in the program.

Rationale: After three semesters of student recruiting and admissions the program’s admissions criteria need clarification and adjustment to the pool of prospective students. The current criteria call for “Calculus 1 and Calculus 2,” however these designations do not apply to all prospective student. Some students take calculus with an “A, B and C” designation, others transcripts label courses as “differential” and “integral” calculus and some applicants may get sufficient calculus in an “Mathematics for Economics” course. Changing the requirement to simply “Calculus or equivalent” resolves these issues. Experience from three semesters indicates little difference in the performance of students with more than one semester of calculus. The inclusion of the conditional admittance provision recognizes the pool of potential students includes motivated and high performing candidates willing to take calculus courses while beginning the program’s less mathematical courses The addition of “or equivalent” to the requirement for undergraduate statistics recognizes some applicants may have taken an equivalent to undergraduate statistics in other post baccalaureate studies.

Rationale: There is a growing need and demand for alternative learning environments that provide John Jay students with professional opportunities as well as rich academic experiences. This course presents students with what feminism looks like “in action,” the idea of praxis, putting theory into action and letting experience and theory develop in tandem, different from the traditional classroom environment. This pre-internship course fulfills the need for experiential learning for Gender Studies majors and minors. In 2017-2018, the Gender Studies Program underwent a review by external evaluators. The external evaluators indicated that the Gender Studies partnerships with the JJC Women’s Center for Gender Justice and the JJC Center for Career and Professional Development were important because these spaces provide hands-on feminist professional development. This pre-internship course would embed experiences like these into the curriculum. Exposing students to social justice-oriented career paths along with a strong academic component provides students with several opportunities that cannot be attained in traditional classroom environments: (1) exploring multiple workplaces in NYC that center feminist ideals, issues, and goals, which may be relevant to revising their future occupational or academic careers; (2) challenging demands in professional as well as academic settings; and (3) completing academically rigorous work tied to the professional tasks and goals of feminist praxis. This pre-internship will create a synergistic relationship and learning environment for our students, developing skills and gaining experience necessary for John Jay students to be competitive in a diverse global economy.

Note: this course was also entered on the CAPPR Detailed Report since it is a Pathways Course.

Rationale: Data Science has become an important area of human activity, with its own tools, facts, and techniques. As a discipline it is based on ideas from traditional statistics. This course aims to explore the topics covered in an ordinary freshman level statistics course using real data and modern computational methods. The goal is to prepare students for real statistical analysis of data. The design of this course is based loosely on the Foundations of Data Science course offered at Lehman. A freshman level foundational course in data science course is also offered at Berkeley (Foundations of Data Science), Stanford (Data Science 101) and many other campuses. This course meets a number of curricular needs at John Jay. One is to create an alternative to MAT 108 as a prerequisite for STA 250, and to provide students with better intuition about the meaning of statistical concepts. It is hoped that after this course students will more naturally adapt to manipulating actual data in research methods courses. Secondly, the college now offers an applied mathematics major with a concentration in data analysis. This course can provide an introduction to this topic and allow students to make an informed decision about whether to pursue a degree in the field. Lastly, our way of life is increasingly influenced by data, and the extraction of information from data through computational means. The exposure this course offers to that world will demystify data for students and attune them to technological issues sure to be important in their lives as citizens and individuals.

AIV.9 Department(s) Master of Science in Forensic Science Career [ ] Undergraduate [ x ] Graduate Academic Level [ x ] Regular [ ] Compensatory [ ] Developmental [ ] Remedial Subject Area FOS Course Number 762 Course Title Current Trends in Forensic Pathology and Entomology Catalogue Description

This course will provide students with an in depth introduction into the historical and current methodologies and practices in the fields of forensic pathology and entomology. Students will be involved in critiquing and evaluating historical and current research in the field. Students will also develop their practical skills through a field exercise where they will learn about chain of custody and will incorporate collection, sampling and analytical techniques relevant to the field of forensic science, pathology and entomology.

Prerequisites None Credits 3 Contact Hours 3

Rationale: This course is designed to provide students with an introduction to two forensically relevant fields: pathology and entomology, which is currently lacking in the forensic science course curriculum. To date, there are very few courses that integrate both a lecture and field based approach. The classroom setting will be important in allowing students to learn about the history of each field as well as the current methodologies involved in collecting, preserving and analyzing pathological and entomological evidence. This course will provide students with the basic skills necessary to understand and integrate pathological and entomological evidence within a forensic context.

Overall, this course will broaden students’ understanding in forensic pathology and entomology. They will develop their critical thinking skills in order to evaluate past and current research in the field. Students will also develop their practical skills necessary for processing forensic evidence.

AIV.10 Department(s) Master of Arts in International Crime and Justice Career [ ] Undergraduate [ x ] Graduate Academic Level [ x ] Regular [ ] Compensatory [ ] Developmental [ ] Remedial Subject Area ICJ Course Number 750 Course Title Special Topics in International Crime & Justice Catalogue Description

This course will allow students an in-depth analysis of 21st century challenges facing the field of international crime and justice. The specific topic of study will be chosen by the instructor each term.

Prerequisites None Credits 3 Contact Hours 3 Rationale: This course will allow students to examine topics of interest in the field of international crime and justice that are covered only superficially or not at all in other IC&J electives and core. Students have expressed an interest and a need for specialized topics within the field of international crime & justice that may potentially focus on specific countries, regions or types of crimes not already covered. Students can benefit from enrollment in this course and satisfy (1) elective requirement to complete their degree. The experimentation of such a course is also beneficial to the program itself in that it may potentially find the need to expand elective courses on specific topics not already offered. Furthermore, by the creation of this course the program may be able to take advantage of visiting scholars and professors who have expertise in a particular area of ICJ.

This course will serve as an elective in the ICJ MA program.

Rationale: A gender inclusive term, the term “Latinx” has gained wide acceptance in recent years, particularly within academia. Many academic departments around the country have adopted “Latinx” in their course curricula and they have renamed their departments. Below are several examples: • https://www.amherst.edu/academiclife/departments/latinx-latin-american-studies • http://www.ou.edu/cas/latinx • https://www.skidmore.edu/latin_american/ • http://americanstudies.as.virginia.edu/minor-latinx-studies • https://www.holycross.edu/academics/programs/latin-american-latinx-and-caribbean-studies • https://www.emerson.edu/liberal-arts-interdisciplinary-studies/interdisciplinary-minors/latin-american-latinx-studies Moreover, faculty and students at John Jay College have been embracing the use of Latinx with increasing frequency, favoring its inclusivity as a term.

Description This course examines the law and politics affecting lesbians and gay men in the United States and investigates issues like same-sex marriage; the constitutionality of consensual-sodomy laws; sexual-orientation discrimination in public accommodations, housing, and the workplace; antigay ballot initiatives; child custody, visitation, adoption, and foster care by lesbian and gay parents and their domestic partners; health insurance and other benefits for domestic partners; and gays in the military. These issues will be considered through an examination of case law.

Description The course explores legal and political issues affecting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people in the United States. It focuses in particular on contests over the criminalization of same-sex activity; the enactment of legal protections for LGBTQ people and their families; the marriage equality movement; and contemporary debates over the scope of federal non-discrimination protections, transgender rights, and exemptions for those who object to LGBTQ equality on religious grounds. The course aims to give students a deeper appreciation of the constraints, opportunities, and strategic choices that have shaped the development of LGBTQ rights in law and policy, both historically and in the present day.






N/C

Effective Effective Fall 2019 Rationale: This course was designed in the mid-1990s, when the legal and political circumstances surrounding the rights of gay men and lesbians were very different from what exists now with regard to sexual minorities. Then, same-sex couples could not legally marry anywhere and could be prosecuted criminally under the consensual sodomy statutes that existed in many American states. Moreover, homosexuals who were open about their sexual orientation could not serve in the military under its “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. Today, all of that has changed, either through U.S. Supreme Court decisions or congressional legislation. Indeed, the only significant legal and political right left to secure for lesbians and gay men is nationwide protection against sexual-orientation discrimination in the workplace, housing, and public accommodations. About half of the states still lack such safeguards. In contrast, greater national attention has been given in the last ten to 15 years to the law and politics of gender identity and expression. The issues concerning transgendered and other “queer” people have increasingly come into focus in the United States. But in its

original conception, POL 318 virtually ignored the “B” and “T” parts of LGBT. The present course revisions seek to correct those oversights and expand the purview of what students study and learn about in the class.

Students will study chemosensation (taste and smell) and answer questions such as why does food have little flavor when you have a cold. Our senses rarely operate in isolation and so students will also examine interactions between different sensory modalities and how this affects our perception of the environment. Throughout the course, students will examine how experience and culture can affect sensory perception in various domains, particularly the perception of color, faces, objects, depth, smell and flavor.

Effective Effective Fall 2019 Rationale: We are changing this course for two reasons. First, students often assume the course title means social perception only and do not understand it is a course with a heavy biological focus. Second, while Sensation & Perception (vs. only Perception) are common titles for a course such as this, the title “Sensation and Perception” might clarify what the course is about for students (those who don’t read the description) and is a more complete representation of course content. We have modified the course description to clarify this further.

Effective Effective Fall 2019 Rationale: With the introduction of the Intermediate Accounting courses the prerequisites for the ACC 308 course have been brought in line with standard practice within the CUNY system for introduction to auditing courses. A comparison to other CUNY colleges revealed that they have at least Intermediate I or an equivalent course as a minimum prerequisite for their auditing courses. However, the existing prerequisite of ACC 270 Intermediate Accounting I makes completion of the undergraduate certificate in forensic accounting unnecessarily difficult as the certificate requires ACC 308 but does not require ACC 270. A practical and helpful remedy would be to reinstate ACC 307 as an alternative accounting prerequisite with ACC 270 for ACC 308. The prerequisite of ENG 201 is unchanged.

PART A: ACADEMIC MATTERS Section AIII: Changes in Degree Programs Undergraduate Curricula AIII.1 Name of Program and Degree Award: Biology Minor Effective Term: Fall 2019 The following revisions are proposed for the Biology Minor from the Department of Biological Sciences. FROM: TO: Biology Minor A minor in Biology will familiarize students with concepts and research tools that scientists use to understand the living world and solve real-world problems. By minoring in biology, students from various disciplines such as business, computer science, psychology, and health sciences can combine their expertise with their knowledge of the natural world to enhance their career options. A minor in Biology consists of a minimum of 16 credits in Biology, including BIO 166 and BIO 167 (8 credits), one 200 level course and one 300 or 400 level course (8 credits). The 100-level courses are STEM Variants that students can substitute to satisfy their General Education requirements.

Biology Minor (12 - 20 credits): Credits 8 credits: Pre-Requisites to the minor*: BIO 166 Principles of Biology: Cells and Genes 4 BIO 167 Principles of Biology: Organisms 4 12 credits: BIO 238 Genetics 4 One 200 level BIO course (Bio 230 is not accepted) 4 One 300 or 400 level BIO course 4

BIO 167 Principles of Biology: Organisms 4 (8 credits) selected from: One 200 level course and one 300 or 400 level course (8 credits). The 100-level courses are STEM Variants that students can substitute to satisfy their General Education requirements. Credits BIO 200, 300, or 400 levels Biology courses

*BIO 166 and BIO 167 are prerequisites to all other advanced biology courses and are STEM variants that students can use to satisfy their General Education requirements. Students who complete BIO 166 and BIO 167 before declaring the minor must complete only the remaining 12 credits.

Rationale: Some students choose majors that require both Bio 166 and Bio 167. Given the college policy that students can only share one course between their major and minor, these students often have to substitute either Bio 166 or Bio 167 with other courses, so they can graduate with a minor in biology. To resolve this problem, we are changing the requirements from Bio 166 and Bio 167 to Bio 166 or Bio 167 and Bio 238. Bio 238 is a course in genetics that we think is fundamental to understanding the concepts and methods of modern biological sciences. Students taking 200-level courses other than Bio 238 may not have sufficient knowledge to grasp current topics in health and medicine that are covered in their classes or in media. The additional note that Bio 230 is not accepted towards the minor is added to prevent students from taking additional courses that are not required for the minor. Bio230 is a non-majors course designed to meet the needs of students preparing for nursing program. The course does not cover sufficient details about molecular mechanism, sensing, and gene regulation that is necessary for biology majors or minors to understand how microbes function to adapt to their environments.

Rationale: Lehman College’s LSP and MHC students already have their own sections of English Composition I and II, which they take on a slightly different schedule from their non-honors peers. (Most students take Comp I-II in their First Year of college study. Honors students take Comp I in their first semester at Lehman College and Comp II in their second semester of Sophomore year, in order to accommodate other required Honors requirements.) Until now, the English Department has assigned Honors students to cohort-specific sections of ENG 111 and 121 (which are set to 0 enrollment until filled by the LSP and MHC Programs). This process has involved a great deal of effort (and some confusion) on the part of both Lehman Honors and the English Department, both to keep these sections discrete, and to accommodate the several Honors students each year who took ENG 111 and/or ENG 121 through College Now and now require additional scheduling arrangements.

Rationale: As part of the College’s commitment to Writing in the Disciplines (WID), the English Department complements (a) the Writing-Intensive courses that various departments require of their majors with (b) English-Department courses in a range of professional-writing disciplines. ENW 300 (Business Writing) serves Economics, Business, and Accounting majors; ENW 3070 (Health and Science Writing) serves Speech Pathology (and other) majors. For several years now, English has been piloting a course, ENW 365 (Special Topics: Writing and Social Issues), which is intended for students in Social Work and other related departments. Various instructors teaching several sections over the past three years have helped us develop a professional-writing course that meets the needs of its targeted audience. Now that the Social Work Department requires students to take an upper-level ENW course as part of its Major, we are ready to make “Writing and Social Issues” a permanent part of our course offerings.

Rationale: In DNC 252 World Dance Principles, students study selected styles of world dance. In addition to experiencing the dances first hand, students have weekly reading assignments, give presentations, write papers and learn the culture and history of different dance

styles. Other arts courses that focus on a particular culture, for example AAS 321 African Americans in Cinema and LAC 341 Puerto Rican Music, are given liberal arts credit. AAS 321 African Americans in Cinema Visual images of African Americans in films, shorts, cartoons, and documentaries. LAC 341 Puerto Rican Music Analysis of musical performance with respect to identity, gender, race, and class. Emphasis will be placed on the hybrid nature of the music and on the role played by the Puerto Rican Diaspora in the creation of the music. Changing the designation to liberal arts would more accurately reflect the nature of the class, which fulfills the NYS liberal arts requirement of “appreciation, history or theory”. The course goals include:

• Demonstrate critical thinking about dance from historical, global, and diverse perspectives. • Analyze in writing and/or in a presentation the development of dance, in human societies and cultures • Analyze in writing choreography from different periods and styles

Other arts courses that focus on a particular culture, for example AAS 321 African Americans in Cinema and LAC 341 Puerto Rican Music, are given liberal arts credit. The word “advanced” has been added to the description in order to distinguish it from DNC 252 World Dance Principles. The prerequisite has been changed from “a 200-level dance class” to “a dance class.” There are some students who place out of 200-level technique classes and begin at the 300-level.

Rationale: DNC 360 Special Topics in Dance is categorized as Non-Liberal Arts despite the content of the courses. DNC 360 is a course that includes history and theory and for the most part, little studio time. Over the last five years the DNC 360s have been, Gender and the Body, Media and the Body, Yoga Philosophy and Contributions of African Americans to Modern Dance. These courses have had almost no studio time, however, students in DNC 360 did not receive liberal arts credit. The course goals include:

• To gather, interpret, and assess information from a variety of sources and points of view. • To produce well-reasoned written or oral arguments using evidence to support conclusions. • To demonstrate familiarity with methods of theoretical or abstract analysis and philosophical reasoning. • To produce an essay or written piece of research or other creative work, in “scaffolded” stages, demonstrating both an ability

to express complex ideas for an educated audience as well as the ability to evaluate and utilize a variety of information of an abstract, theoretical or philosophical nature.

DNC 422 is categorized as liberal arts in CUNYfirst but not in the bulletin. Changing the liberal arts designation would correct that error and more accurately reflect the content of the class, which fulfills the NYS liberal arts requirement of “appreciation, history or theory”. The prerequisite has been added for consistency throughout the special topics classes within the major. The course goals include:

Rationale: DNC 451 is a composition class that senior dance majors complete during their final semester. MST 319 Composition I, MST 320 Composition II, and DNC 345 Choreography and Improvisation provide precedent for categorizing composition within the arts as liberal arts. Students also research and practice professional writing. The change to the description more accurately reflects the content of the course since the course is choreographic in nature and is designed to lead to a capstone choreography project. DNC 345 Choreography and Improvisation The development of the creative process by means of improvisation and a variety of choreographic projects from the traditional to the experimental. MST 319 Composition Composition in various types and forms of music; practice in free composition. MST 320 Composition II Advanced study of composition, with emphasis on instrumental combinations.

• Demonstrate critical thinking about dance from historical, global, and diverse perspectives. • Demonstrate the ability to create choreography for public presentation

Medgar Evers College Academic University Report Detail

Section AIV: New Courses AIV.1 Proposal to add Chinese (Mandarin) Beginner I (CHIN 101) to the list of courses offered in the Department of World Languages and Cultures starting Fall 2019. COURSE INFORMATION COURSE ALPHA CODE:

CHIN

COURSE NUMBER: 101 COURSE TITLE: Chinese (Mandarin) Beginner I COURSE CREDITS: 3 CLASS HOURS: 3 COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course is an introduction to the study of the Chinese (Mandarin) language as a medium of communication. It will focus primarily on the acquisition of pronunciation and production of fundamental speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. In this introductory course, the emphasis will be on the production of oral skills, which will be the foundation for students’ further development and acquisition of Chinese (Mandarin). One-hour weekly attendance in the Language Laboratory is required. The course is not open to native speakers of Chinese or to students with prior exposure to the language who have attained a level of proficiency.

COURSE PRE-REQUISITES:

None

COURSE CO-REQUISITES:

CHIL 101 – Chinese Lab – 1 hour per week

FREQUENCY: Once per semester. STUDENTS SERVED: This course is part of the College Option in the diversity cluster. It can be

elected to meet the World language requirement of any student enrolled in a program that requires from one to four world language courses. Those programs include the Baccalaureate Degrees in Accounting, Biology, Business Administration, Computer Information Systems, Computer Science, Education, English, Environmental Sciences, Mathematics, Nursing, Public Administration, Psychology, and Social work.

ANTICIPATED ENROLLMENT:

Fall Semester 20 to 25

Spring Semester 20 to 25

Summer Semester 20 to 25

RATIONALE: This course will be an excellent resource to expand the possibilities of experiencing diversity on campus, not only by adding a new language to complement the languages already offered by our department, but also by contributing to the genuine effort of the College to recruit students from diverse ethnic backgrounds. In addition, Chinese (Mandarin) is considered by the Federal Government as a Critical Language along with Arabic and Russian (see https://www.nsep.gov/content/critical-languages). All over the world Chinese language (Mandarin) has been in high demand in commercial and cultural exchanges. This trend is reflected in the fact that more high schools in the city of New York are offering the language, thereby preparing our future students to foster and develop their acquisition of the language at the college level. The following are some data about Chinese (Mandarin) in Brooklyn and in the schools that already participate in the Medgar Evers College (MEC) Pipeline and College Readiness Program: In south Brooklyn high schools, Chinese students compose about 70% of the student population. In the vicinity of MEC, the following high schools offer Chinese (Mandarin)

https://www.nsep.gov/content/critical-languages

MEC Prep; Bedford Academy; Clara Barton. Offering Chinese (Mandarin) to MEC students will serve more than one purpose as it will permit the College to: - Recruit freshmen who have already acquired basic skills in Chinese (Mandarin) - Retain students as we help them consolidate their skills in the language - Give students the means to master a highly demanded language that will increase their employability.

Grade Dissemination

Students will receive grades for all assessments and assignments individually, during the course of the semester. Final grades will be posted electronically via the CUNY FIRST system.

Late Work Policy: No makeup exams or quizzes will be administered nor will any late assignments be

accepted. Pay attention to due dates as announced and plan accordingly as the syllabus is subject to change. It is the administrative policy of Medgar Evers College that final exams are INFLEXIBLE. In the event of a schedule conflict, please consult the Office of the Registrar.

Extra Credit Policy: No extra credit is given. Grades of "Incomplete": Grades of incomplete are not offered for elementary language courses except under extreme circumstances, e.g., absence on a final exam due to a documented medical emergency, and only under the discretion of the instructor in consultation with the chairperson. Group Work Policy: All students will receive a cumulative grade based on the quality of work, research and ingenuity of the presentation.

Course Policies: Technology and Media Email: Students will provide the instructor with a functional email address for electronic communication. Students are responsible for checking emails regularly (i.e. before each class meeting) for course materials, assignments, changes to syllabus and instructions. The refusal to check emails or to comply with the instructions given does not constitute viable excuses for assignments due or inherent penalties. Additionally, students are advised to have the emails/cell numbers of cohorts to discuss assignments and homework in the event of absences. Laptop / Smartphone Usage Classroom Devices: All cell phones and laptops must be turned off while class is in session. Course Policies: Student Expectations

Only 3 class periods will be excused without an adverse effect on your grade. If you do need to miss a class--emergencies do arise--please ensure that you have the number or contact information of a colleague so that you may discuss the topic(s) covered in class. The instructor will NOT respond to individual emails requesting assignments during absences. The instructor will respond to emails regarding clarification or any other questions you may have. Please bring the textbook to every class meeting.

Food will not be allowed in the classroom. Cell phones and electronic devices MUST be turned off PRIOR to the commencement of class.

Disability Access: Please ensure that the instructor is aware of any disability or accessibility requirements and present as necessary, all pertinent and signed documentation from the Office of Differently Abled. Professionalism Policy: Be punctual. Tardiness can be quite disruptive to the general classroom culture once class has commenced. Lateness of more than 10mins for 3 consecutive class meetings constitutes an unexcused absence.

Rude or disruptive behavior will NOT be tolerated. Speaking or whispering while the instructor is lecturing is extremely disrespectful and annoying. If this occurs, I reserve the right to ask you to leave. The zero tolerance policy will be respected and observed at all times during the semester. Please familiarize yourself with CUNY’s administrative policies if in doubt regarding this issue.

Academic Conduct Policy: The City University of New York regards acts of academic dishonesty (e.g. plagiarism, cheating on examinations) as serious offenses against the values of intellectual honesty. The college is committed to enforcing the CUNY policy on academic dishonesty accordingly. College Learning Center, Writing Center, and Academic Computing Labs: Please see the department for language tutoring availability if necessary

Important Dates to Remember

The working syllabus is subject to change. All dates for quizzes and exams are announced ahead of time so please plan accordingly. Please check the academic calendar periodically during the course of the semester as posted by the office of the registrar. Important dates to consider may be those of final exams, withdrawal deadlines, add/drop classes etc.

This course is the co-requisite of the CHIN 101 course. It aims to assist students in achieving fluency and clarity in the four major skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. A communicative, interactive linguistic model is used. Students are required to attend the lab one to two hours a week.

FREQUENCY: Once per semester. STUDENTS SERVED:

This course is part of the College Option in the diversity cluster. It can be elected to meet the World language requirement of any student enrolled in a program that requires from one to four world language courses. Those programs include the Baccalaureate Degrees in Accounting, Biology, Business, Computer Information Systems, Computer Sciences, Education, English, Environmental Sciences, Mathematics, Nursing, Public Administration, Psychology, and Social work.





RATIONALE: This course will be an excellent resource to expand the possibilities of experiencing diversity on campus, not only by adding a new language to the complement of languages already offered by our department, but also by contributing to the genuine effort of the College to recruit students from diverse ethnic backgrounds. In addition, Chinese (Mandarin) is considered by the Federal Government as a Critical Language along with Arabic and Russian (see https://www.nsep.gov/content/critical-languages). All over the world Chinese language (Mandarin) has been in high demand in commercial and cultural exchanges. This trend is reflected in the fact that more high schools in the city of New York are offering the language, thereby preparing our future students to foster and develop their acquisition of the language at college level. The following are some data about Chinese (Mandarin) in Brooklyn and in the schools that already participate in the Medgar Evers College (MEC) Pipeline and College Readiness Program: In south Brooklyn high schools, Chinese students compose about 70% of the student population. Around our campus the following high schools offer Chinese (Mandarin) MEC Prep; Bedford Academy; Clara Barton. It becomes clear that offering Chinese (Mandarin) to MEC students will serve more than one purpose as it will permit us to: - Recruit freshmen who have already acquired the basic skills in Chinese (Mandarin). - Retain students as we help them consolidate their skills in the language. - Provide students the means to master a highly demanded language that will increase their employability.

Grade Dissemination Students will receive grades for all assessments and assignments individually, during the course of the semester. Final grades will be posted electronically via the CUNY FIRST system.

Late Work Policy: No makeup exams or quizzes will be administered nor will any late assignments be accepted. Pay attention to due dates as announced and plan accordingly as the syllabus is subject to change. It is the administrative policy of Medgar Evers College that final exams are INFLEXIBLE. In the event of a schedule conflict, please consult the Office of the Registrar.

Extra Credit Policy: No extra credit is given. Grades of "Incomplete": Grades of incomplete are not offered for elementary language courses except under extreme circumstances, e.g., absence on a final exam due to a documented medical emergency, and only under the discretion of the instructor in consultation with the chairperson. Group Work Policy: All students will receive a unanimous grade based on the quality of work, research and ingenuity of the presentation.

Course Policies: Technology and Media Email: Students will provide the instructor with a functional email address for electronic communication. Students are responsible for checking emails regularly (i.e. before each class meeting) for course materials, assignments, changes to syllabus and instructions. The refusal to

http://www.language.berkeley.edu/ic/

check emails or to comply with the instructions given does not constitute viable excuses for assignments due or inherent penalties. Additionally, students are advised to have the emails/cell numbers of cohorts to discuss assignments and homework in the event of absences. Laptop / Smartphone Usage Classroom Devices: All cell phones and laptops must be turned off while class is in session. Course Policies: Student Expectations

Only 3 class periods will be excused without an adverse effect on your grade. If you do need to miss a class--emergencies do arise--please ensure that you have the number or contact information of a colleague so that you may discuss the topic(s) covered in class. The instructor will NOT respond to individual emails requesting assignments during absences. I will however respond to emails regarding clarification or any other questions you may have. Please bring the textbook to every class meeting. Food will not be allowed in the classroom. Cell phones and electronic devices MUST be turned off PRIOR to the commencement of class.

Disability Access: Please ensure that the instructor is aware of any disability or accessibility requirements and present as necessary, all pertinent and signed documentation from the Office of Differently Abled.

Professionalism Policy: Be punctual. Tardiness can be quite disruptive to the general classroom culture once class has commenced. Lateness of more than 10mins for 3 consecutive class meetings constitutes an unexcused absence. Rude or disruptive behavior will NOT be tolerated. Speaking or whispering while the instructor is lecturing is extremely disrespectful and annoying. If this occurs, I reserve the right to ask you to leave. The zero tolerance policy will be respected and observed at all times during the semester. Please familiarize yourself with CUNY’s administrative policies if in doubt regarding this issue.

Academic Conduct Policy: The City University of New York regards acts of academic dishonesty (e.g. plagiarism, cheating on examinations) as serious offenses against the values of intellectual honesty. The college is committed to enforcing the CUNY policy on academic dishonesty accordingly. College Learning Center, Writing Center, and Academic Computing Labs: Please see the department for language tutoring availability if necessary

Important Dates to Remember

The working syllabus is subject to change. All dates for quizzes and exams are announced ahead of time so please plan accordingly. Please check the academic calendar periodically during the course of the semester as posted by the office of the registrar. Important dates to consider may be those of final exams, withdrawal deadlines, add/drop classes etc.

3The credit range accounts for STEM Variant in 1C. 3The credit range accounts for STEM Variant in 1C. Rationale: Effective Fall 2018 the Dual/Joint A.A./B.A. Degree in Childhood Education with Queens College was revised to replace the required major course PSYC215 Child Development with a new course, EDUC230 Childhood Learning and Development in Cultural Context. For the sake of consistency we are proposing changing the major requirements for the LA1 Education Concentration by replacing PSYC215 with EDUC230. Section AIV: New Courses AIV. 1. Biological Sciences and Geology Department Course Number: BI- 203 Title: Cell Biology Hours: 3.0 Credits: 3.0 Pre-requisite: BI 201 General Biology 1 Co-requisite: None Course Description: This course will provide insight into the structure, function and regulation of animal cells, including cell cycle, subcellular compartmentalization, signal transduction, and cell-cell interactions. Important experimental techniques that led to current understanding of structure and function of cells will be discussed. Rationale: Cell Biology is a standard course in all biology programs. This course will be required in the new proposed program AS in biology. Queens College and York College were contacted regarding potential articulation agreements and suggested inclusion of the cellular biology course. AIV. 2. English Department Course Number: BE-102 Title: Developing Competence in College Reading, Writing, and Study Skills Hours: 4.0 contact Credits: 0.0 credits, 4.0 equated credits Pre-requisite: Students who have passed both BE 111 and BE 121 or those that have scored a 48-55 on the CATW and a 58-69 on the ACT or 40-54 on Accuplacer are eligible for the course

Co-requisite: ENGL-101 Course Description: This course is for students who need intensified instruction in both reading and writing, as determined by a standard skills assessment or placement test and screening results. Emphasis is on the link between the concurrent development of reading and writing skills, with special attention paid to the use of critical thinking to analyze a range of written texts and the production of organized, well-developed essays and reports. Computer- integrated pedagogy, theme-based curriculum, and in-class tutor support are important aspects of the course. Rationale: This intensive, thematic course in reading and writing will allow students an opportunity to fulfill remedial requirements in a pedagogically efficient manner. Instead of completing two discrete courses, eligible students will take a single combined integrated course, which will permit them to enroll in a greater number of credit-bearing courses while completing remedial requirements. In addition to moving through course sequences for degrees at a faster pace, students will reap the financial benefits of a single course: a larger portion of financial aid awards and out-of-pocket resources will be preserved for degree-required courses. In addition, the university writing exam, the CATW, requires college-level proficiency in both reading and writing, which makes offering a combined course a necessity. Finally, research in developmental education clearly supports combined instruction since reading and writing employ similar cognitive processes. We have run BE102 as an experimental course in Fall 2018 and Spring 2019 with successful results and would like to make this a permanent offering. Section AV: Changes in Existing Courses AV.1.

Description: A review of business applications currently used to enhance the productivity of the accountant. The student is expected to be able to apply new tools, such as electronic spreadsheets, integrated accounting, and data base management, to solve selected business problems through hands-on experience in a microcomputer laboratory.

Rationale: Since BU-111 was created, the prerequisites were CIS 101 and BU 102. Several years ago, when Option C - Accounting/Office Administration was added to the Office Administration Assistant (OAT) – Certificate Program, the prerequisite was changed from BU-102 to BU-101 because the Certificate program does not require BU-102. Since there have not been any students enrolled in this Option C of the Certificate Program, there isn’t any need to have this lower prerequisite course. By reverting back to BU-102, the BU-111 course will keep more seats available to accounting major students that are required to take this course. In the event someone needs to take BU-111 for the OAT Certificate program, they would be eligible to take the course with permission of the Department.

Description: Acquaints the student with common clinical testing procedures performed by the medical office assistant in the examining rooms, treatment rooms, and laboratories of medical offices, clinics, and health maintenance organizations.

Rationale: The material taught in BI-340 (Assisting in the Medical Office: Clinical Testing Procedures) does not require BI-111 (Introduction to Human Biology). The instructors who teach BI-340 have agreed that the material that is presented in BI-111 is independent of what is taught in BI-340. By removing this pre-requisite, Medical Assistant A.A.S. students will have an easier time completing the requirements of the program within 2 years. This will allow more flexibility in the course sequence, which helps many of our part-time students. The option to use BI-111 is still there for non-Medical Assistant students, such as Medical Office Assistant Certificate Program students, because these programs do not require BI-520.

treatment room of medical offices, clinics, and health maintenance organizations.

Rationale: The material taught in BI-341 (Assisting in the Medical Office: Medical Office Procedures) does not require BI-520 (Introduction to Public Health). The instructors who teach BI-341 have agreed that the material that is presented in BI-341 is independent of what is taught in BI-520. BI-341 primarily focuses on the various specializations in medicine and the clinical tests and procedures related to those specializations. By removing this pre-requisite, students will have an easier time completing the requirements of the program within 2 years. This will allow more flexibility in the course sequence, which helps many of our part-time students.

Description: An examination of the role of the phlebotomist as a vital member of the health care team. The theory and practice of the techniques for successfully obtaining blood specimens will be covered in lecture and laboratory sessions. The course includes one field trip to a clinical facility.

Rationale: The material taught in BI-451 (Phlebotomy Technology) does not require BI-340 (Assisting in the Office: Clinical Testing Procedures), which mostly focuses on medical lab procedures. Instructors who teach BI-451 have agreed that the skills taught in BI-451 do not require any of the skills taught in BI-340. Additionally, the option of BI-401 as a co-requisite is no longer relevant, as this course does not run anymore. However, a basic understanding of BI- 111 (Human Biology) is still required. By removing the current co-requisite and pre-requisite options, students will have an easier time completing the requirements of the program within 2 years. This will allow more flexibility in the course sequence, which helps many of our part-time students.

multimedia environment, bringing together multiple perspectives that reflect both the diversity of our local community and global concerns.

Rationale: The revision of ENGL 311 is necessary because the course as first formulated has become outmoded. This is not to say that “feature writing” has disappeared (though “longform” is the current term now) but that it’s become a less organic and practical focal point for Journalism II, as the only upper-level journalism course we offer.

Students are drawn to journalism, often expressing interest in it as a career, so it is crucial to offer a continuation of the introductory journalism course (241) that is more contemporary and applicable. Online journalism has grown exponentially since the advent of the web and now with the near-ubiquity of smartphones, such that nine-in-ten Americans get their news in digital form through apps, websites, and social networking sites.* Journalism II should follow our current media landscape’s shift from print to digital, with its emphasis on global concerns and perspectives. In addition to writing in multiple modes, students need to learn how to develop information literacy that reflects the rise of citizen journalism, shifting roles of information providers and receivers, and the widespread dissemination of disinformation. Along with the new Communiqué website, scheduled to launch in spring 2019, this revision brings our journalism courses into the 21st century.

Adding Courses: FNES 337 - Nutrition Counseling and Education and FNES 361 - Sports Nutrition and increasing the number of credits from 59 cr. to 66 cr.

From:

Required (59 credits) Required courses in Nutrition and Exercise Sciences include: FNES 211, FNES 230, FNES 263 (prereq.CHEM 102.1 and 102.3 and PSYCH 107.3 and 107.1), FNES 264 (prereq. FNES 263), FNES 340, FNES 341 (prereq. FNES 340), FNES 342 (prereq. BIO 40), FNES 352 (prereq. FNES 342), FNES 353 (prereq. FNES 211 and FNES 342), FNES 362 (pre/co-req: FNES 264, CHEM. 103.3/103.1, BIO 41), 1 Department approved Elective and FNES 377 (prereq. FNES 353 or permission). The sciences core includes: BIO 40 and BIO 41 (prereq BIO 40), CHEM 101.1 and 101.3, CHEM 102.1 and 102.3 (prereq. CHEM 101.1 and101.3), CHEM 103.1 and 103.3 (prereq. CHEM 102.1 and 102.3), and Statistics (PSYCH 107.3 and 107.1)

To Read:

Required (66 credits) Required courses in Nutrition and Exercise Sciences include: FNES 211, FNES 230, FNES 263 (prereq.CHEM 102.1 and 102.3 and PSYCH 107), FNES 264 (prereq. FNES 263), FNES 337 (prereq. FNES 263), FNES 340, FNES 341 (prereq. FNES 340), FNES 342 (prereq. BIO 40), FNES 352 (prereq. FNES 342), FNES 353 (prereq. FNES 211 and FNES 342), FNES 361(prereq FNES 264), FNES 362 (pre/co-req: FNES 264, CHEM. 103.3/103.1, BIO 41), 1 Department approved Elective and FNES 377 (prereq. FNES 353 or permission). The sciences core includes: BIO 40 and BIO 41 (prereq. BIO 40), CHEM 101.1 and 101.3, CHEM 102.1 and 102.3 (prereq. CHEM 101.1 and101.3), CHEM 103.1 and 103.3 (prereq. CHEM 102.1 and 102.3), and Statistics (PSYCH 107.3 and 107.1.).

Justification: FNES 337 – Nutrition Counseling and Education will broaden their knowledge in the area evaluating, practicing and applying behavior change techniques and utilize this information with their clients. FNES 361 – Sports Nutrition will address nutritional issues encountered by the students that choose to work in the area of sports performance. This course will address topics that are currently not addressed by any course in the major. The addition of these two courses will strengthen the foundation for the exercise professional in the area of nutrition. This change also will address the concerns of the external reviewers during the Department’s Self Study that the program did not have sufficient coursework in nutrition to meet the needs in the Nutrition and Exercise Sciences major.

The two courses (FNES 337 and FNES 361) will increase the total number of credits from 59cr to 65 cr. Also, the required Statistics course (PSYCH 107.3 and PSYCH 107.1) which went from 3cr. to 4 cr. in 2005 was never adjusted in the College Bulletin. This brings the total credits of the Nutrition and Exercise Sciences major to 66cr.

Rationale: The Department of Sociology requests changes to the titles of five courses, which are the required courses for our new minor in Data Analytics. Three of these courses are also required for the major in Sociology (205, 212, and 334). These changes are intended to better communicate the data analytics content of the courses and their generalizability beyond Sociology, reflecting both their appropriateness to the minor and the data literacy emphasis we have adopted for the major. The new names clarify the relationship between our course content and what have come to be widely recognized subfields in data analytics and data science.

Section AI: Special Actions AI.1.1 Create a Grade and Progression Criteria for the accelerated BS – MS in Nursing Education, Nursing Informatics, Nursing Organizational Leadership [38464, 38465, 38466] RESOLVED, that the grading and progression criteria for all required courses in the accelerated B.S.-M.S. in Nursing majors align with the current MS in Nursing programs’ progression and retention criteria. PROGRESSION AND RETENTION All students in the M.S. in Nursing and the accelerated B.S. – M.S. in Nursing programs will maintain a 3.0 overall GPA per semester and at graduation. To ensure this criteria is met, a minimum grade of “B” is required in all Nursing major courses. Students earning less than a “B” grade in a Nursing course may repeat the course one time and must attain a grade of “B” or better. A second earned grade of less than “B” in any Nursing Program Course will result in dismissal from the program. EXPLANATION: The 150 credit B.S. – M.S. curricula includes select courses from the B.S. in Nursing along with the essential core M.S. courses and concentration specific coursework. This progression criteria is being put in place in order to be consistent with the progression and retention policy of the M.S. in Nursing programs.

Rationale: A primary reason for requesting this change is to avoid curricular redundancy. Rather than create a new course designed only for a single program (Liberal Studies) we believe it best to develop one that could be shared across the undergraduate programs (including Communication and Media, in which INT 450 is already included among the 400-level requirements). Because of the interdisciplinary nature of Liberal Studies, we intend to design INT 450 (which exists but has not yet been built or run) to accommodate students with a variety of academic and professional interests.

role of nursing leaders in the planned process of developing an organization to ensure the optimal level of performance as measured by effectiveness, productivity, health, quality and safety. Quality and safety are central concepts in this course and are considered from both the operational and strategic planning perspective. A nursing unit operating budget is examined in detail. Additional topics covered include zero based budgeting, cost estimation and forecasting, break-even analysis, performance budgeting, flexible budget variance analysis and capital budgeting. Healthcare examples and applications are used throughout all parts of the organization. Strategic planning for healthcare organizations is emphasized.

for effective leadership in nursing and in the US healthcare environment, strategic planning, operational management, national healthcare regulatory agencies and the challenges healthcare leaders face now and in the future. This course explores the application of behavioral sciences to human resource management in healthcare. Theories and approaches to leadership will be compared along with the impact of these theories and roles on the organization. Key elements to becoming an effective transformational leader will be explored. The emphasis of this course is on examining, conducting, and evaluating competency-based and culturally competent nursing administrative practices in the management of human resources. Based on criteria from ANA Scope and Standards for Nurse Administrators, Code of Ethics, and national healthcare agency accreditation, the student uses relevant theoretical and evidence-based research to address issues related to the restructuring of the healthcare environment, hiring, employment, labor relations, employee assistance, and problems of harassment, discrimination, workplace violence, nursing staff turnover, and advocating for the well-


being of nurses in multicultural and diverse healthcare settings.

Effective Term Fall 2019 Rationale: The course is one of many elective options for all three tracks in the Psychology Program. The course covers, among

other things, “…..assessment of individuals, including intelligence testing and other assessment of cognitive functioning, achievement and aptitude testing, and personality testing”. Part of the course includes interpretation of test scores. As such, student would fare better having taken PSY 301: Statistical Methods before entering this course as a full two weeks of the course will focus on understanding statistical analysis, norms, and the like. Additionally, because students must take RM 201 before taking PSY 301, this change will also ensure that students have at least a basic understanding of research methodology, especially with regard to course topics such as Ethical, Legal, and Professional Issues in Assessment, and Test Worthiness: Reliability, Validity, Fairness, and Practical Concerns.

mentor in defining a research question of interest within the area of specialization and consistent with the student’s future professional plans. Students will conduct a thorough literature review related to the focal question, then critically analyze and synthesize the results of past work. Based on this analysis, the research question will be revised and refined and a capstone project designed. If required, an application will be submitted to the Institutional Review Board in time for review and revision before the end of the semester.

Effective Term Fall 2019 Rationale: PSY 698 is the first part of a two-course sequence dedicated to the capstone project (a Master’s Thesis). Because

students design the project, collect and analyze data, and write up (and present) the results, they need the skill set, and knowledge base, acquired from the two research method courses - PSY 625: Advanced Statistics and PSY 630: Advanced Research Methods, before taking PSY 698. This has been achieved, through conversations with students about what the capstone project entails (given the need for students to reach out for permission to enroll), but specifying these prerequisites, as part of the 12 credits they need to complete before enrolling in PSY 698, would help students better plan their progress through the program. It would also stress the importance of these skills for success with the capstone project.

Pre or co requisite YS 600 and YS 610 Prerequisite YS 600 Hours 45 Hours No change Credits 3 Credits No change Description This course provides an overview of the

transition experience of youth with disabilities. It reviews the current state of

Description This course will examine how the concept and construct of dis/ability can affect youth’s perceptions of themselves, school, adults, and

transition services for youth with disabilities in New York City and nationally. It focuses on “self-determination” as a basic principle in transition planning and in accessing and integrating community resources within a fragmented service delivery system. Special attention is given to the role and experience of the family in the transition process and to the importance of “inclusion,” especially in school settings. The experiences of youth with disabilities in the foster care and juvenile justice systems, and strategies that support employment and postsecondary education opportunities are covered. Applications of transition planning to youth with intellectual disabilities, traumatic brain injury, autism spectrum disorders, emotional and behavioral disorders, learning disabilities and physical disabilities are discussed and practiced.

society and how youth workers can support the success of students with dis/abilities in various settings. With a focus on how dis/ability intersects with race, socio-economic status, gender, sexuality, drop-out rates and juvenile justice, this course seeks to reframe the traditional deficit based narrative of dis/abilities. Using Critical Dis/ability (DisCrit) as a theoretical framework, this course aims to dismantle and reconstruct commonly held beliefs about those who have been labeled to foster a strength-based mindset in youth workers and youth programs. While students will be steeped in theory, they will also explore best practices for how to incorporate universal design into youth programs as well as learn from organizations that are doing exemplary work with students with dis/abilities.

Effective Term Fall 2019 Rationale: The original YS 605 course was developed for with a focus on transition planning in school settings. Our degree

serves youth workers that are mainly working in the out-of-school time setting. The proposed YS 605 course explores promising practices in youth programs from a critical disability lens as well as employs an intersectional analysis of the way dis/ability interacts with other youth identities.
