With permission of the departmental curriculum committee, appropriate PRLS course substitutions are allowed in the major under special circumstances.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Department honors --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To qualify for honors in Puerto Rican and Latino studies, a student must complete either Puerto Rican and Latino Studies 3340 and 5710 with a grade of A- or higher and must have an academic index of 3.70 or higher in the major. Rationale: Most of the changes herein are to correct for repetition, clarify the requirements, including greater accuracy regarding credits for the major, and be explicit about the grade requirements for PRLS major-education tracks. We added PRLS 3340 to the honors requirement since it is our mixed methods course, which is the precursor to the PRLS 5710, which is part of the honors criteria. Having both courses will strengthen the students’ skills moving forward in graduate school/the work place. This is in line with the PRLS Departmental learning outcomes:

• “Students will understand inter/multi-disciplinary foundations in the field of Puerto Rican and Latino Studies, Caribbean Studies, and/or Latin American Studies.”

• “Students will write analytical, position, argumentative, response, reaction, reflection, compare/contrast, or research papers and/or create multi-media presentations.”

Rationale: The Studies in Religion Program is trying to make it easier for students to complete their General Education requirements and their major/minor requirements, hence our elimination of the restriction of the number of Pathways course one can count towards the major and our elimination of the number of courses one can count towards both the Religion program and the student’s dual-major. This is in accordance with the college’s renewed focus on graduation timetables and its 15/30 program to try to get students to graduate in four years. The other additions/emendations here reflect a correction of a typo (HIST 3560 is equivalent to AFST 3101, not HIST 3561), and the addition of a cross listing (RELG 3003 is newly the same as CLAS 3246). Effective date: Fall 2020

SECTION A-III: CHANGES IN DEGREE PROGRAM A-III:10 Department of Secondary Education Minor in Secondary Education 15 credits in Secondary Education Students must complete all of the courses in the Department of Secondary Education as specified below. a) Secondary Education 2001, 2002, 3401 and 3456. b) Electives: Secondary Education 1001, 3402, or 4480, or another class with approval of Department Rationale: The Secondary Education Department proposes to add a minor in education to address several needs. A minor in Education would allow students to prepare for multiple careers in education. Students in Secondary Education must currently complete a full major in a discipline such as English, History, Mathematics, Modern languages, or one of the sciences to be eligible for NY state teacher certification. The State Education Department often requires additional coursework in the discipline for teachers. As a consequence, most must complete more than 120 credits to graduate. (Typical students complete 130 or more.) The minor would provide a path to graduation within 120 credits. Many of our graduates take jobs that do not require New York State certification, such as in private or charter schools or informal educational institutions. The full major is not necessary for these students. Students also struggle to find advanced courses in their major subject disciplines that do not conflict with student teaching, which can further delay graduation and a path to an income. Thus, the option of the minor could contribute to timely graduation. Those students who do find work in NYC schools will need to earn a master’s degree to attain permanent certification. The minor would prepare students for advanced degrees in education leading to New York State teacher certification. Effective Date: Fall 2020

A-III: CHANGES IN DEGREE PROGRAMS A-III:11 Department of Television, Radio and Emerging Media B.S. degree program in journalism and media studies HEGIS code 0605; SED program code 83638 Department Requirements (48 credits) I. All of the following: Television, Radio and Emerging Media 1165, 2032, 2401, 2726W, 3401 3223, 3535, 3728,4401 and 4777; one of 3223 or 3535, and one of the following: 4177 or 5010. II. Nine credits from the following: Television, Radio and Emerging Media 3405, 3782, 3841, 3891, 3925, 3951, 4040, 4042, 4045, 4173, and 4728. III. Six credits from the following: Television, Radio and Emerging Media 3402, 3403, 3404, 4047, 4160, 4173 and 4403. and 4269. TREM 4047 may be taken twice to fulfill this requirement so long as the topics are different. IV. Six credits of advanced related course work in any specialized area other than Television, Radio and Emerging Media. All electives must be approved by the program director. A list of recommended electives is available. The department chair or program director may, with the approval of the chair of the department's undergraduate curriculum committee, allow substitutions for one or more required classes consistent with the educational goals of the program. Admissions Requirement: Students must successfully complete one of the College's English Composition courses (ENGL 1012 or higher) with a grade of B or better in order to enroll in any Journalism and Media Studies program course above Television, Radio and Emerging Media 1165 or to declare the major. Transfer students must have successfully completed a course equivalent to ENGL 1012 or higher with a grade of B or better and have received a transfer credit equivalency for ENGL 1012 or higher to enroll in any Journalism and Media Studies program course above Television, Radio and Emerging Media 1165 or to declare the major. Students with transfer-credit equivalencies to ENGL 1012 or higher must provide a writing sample for program assessment prior to enrollment in any Journalism and Media Studies program course above Television, Radio and Emerging Media 1165.

Residency Requirement: Of the 42 48 required Television, Radio and Emerging Media credits in the Journalism and Media Studies major, at least 36 must be completed in residency. Electives must also be completed in residency. The use of transfer or other course credit is prohibited for Television, Radio and Emerging Media 2032, 2726W, and 3728 3401. Academic Standing: All courses used to meet these degree requirements must be completed with a grade of C or higher. No course in this curriculum may be taken more than twice for the purposes of degree advancement. Rationale: These program changes reflect the long-sought after integration of the English Department’s Journalism Program with the Journalism and Media Studies Program of the Department of Television, Radio and Emerging Media. The program of study articulated in this proposal was developed through a series of conversations and collaborations with full-time faculty from both programs that began in Spring, 2018 and continued throughout AY2018-2019. This integrated JAMS program teaches best practices of multi-platform and convergent journalism. It emphasizes the importance of a free press that practices the methodology of objectivity and reality-based reporting to a democratic society while teaching strong writing and reporting skills and the exemplary and multifaceted cross-platform digital storytelling necessary for success in contemporary journalism and its related fields. It should be noted that the JAMS program was established in a substantial overhaul and revision of the former Broadcast Journalism program in 2016. Therefore the existing JAMS program in TREM was already updated to incorporate best contemporary practices in cross-platform and convergent journalism. The English Journalism program was substantially updated and revised in Fall of 2017 to acknowledge the importance of cross-platform and multimedia instruction to today’s journalism students. Thus both of these programs were already cutting edge and this integration of them is being undertaken without tectonic changes but rather a coherent merger and reorganization of the best of both programs that eliminates redundancies and incorporates the preexisting courses previously approved by the Curriculum Committees of both Departments and the Faculty Council Undergraduate Curriculum Committee. Effective date of change: Fall 2020 SECTION A-III: CHANGES IN DEGREE PROGRAM

A-III:12 Department of Television, Radio and Emerging Media B.A. degree program in Television, Radio and Emerging Media HEGIS code: 0603 SED program code: 76212 Department requirements (36 credits) All of the following: Television, Radio and Emerging Media 1165, 2265, 2420, 2616, 4430W. Two of the following: Television, Radio and Emerging Media 3841 or 3861, or 3871, or 3951. One of the following: Communication Arts, Sciences, and Disorders 1619 or 1714 or 1715 or 2623. Nine additional credits in Television, Radio and Emerging Media Department courses numbered 2000 and higher. An additional 6 credits of advanced course work in any department or area other than the departments in the School of Visual, Media, and Performing Arts. These credits must be approved by Television, Radio and Emerging Media faculty. Students may not offer more than six credits for a baccalaureate degree from Television, Radio and Emerging Media 4175, 4176, 4177, 4578 and 4870. The department chair or program director may, with the approval of the chair of the department's undergraduate curriculum committee, allow substitutions for one or more required classes consistent with the educational goals of the program. All the required courses used to meet these degree requirements must be completed with a grade of C or higher. A student may not enroll for a third time in any course in which s/he has twice received a grade of C or lower or the administrative grades of W or WU. An exception may be made following written appeal to the Department Chair, but only if a student can establish changed circumstances that would permit satisfactory performance in the course. Rationale: The TREM Department Faculty have determined that the SPCH requirements previously included in the major are no longer necessary for TREM students seeking a B.A.. The three credits that this requirement represented will now be taken in the

TREM Department which will better serve B.A. candidates by giving them more exposure to and learning experiences in the field of television, radio and media studies. Changes in transfer student enrollment as well as considerable and ongoing problems with equipment access, stewardship and accessibility to the multi-camera studio in the basement of Whitehead have caused substantial problems with student time-to-degree that the TREM Chair has been dealing with through substitutions of other courses but which have also necessitated a lot of boilerplate submissions of course substitutions to Course and Standing – thus creating needless extra work for multiple faculty. For this reason, the Department of TREM like other Departments such as CIS is adding to its Bulletin description the ability of the Chair or the Program Director of the various majors to be able to make substitutions to student degree requirements with the approval of the Department’s Undergraduate Curriculum Chair. As the TREM Department currently has students on a variety of different catalogs and degree maps across it’s UG majors and anticipates additional changes as it transforms into TREM this is the most efficient and student-centered way in which to preserve the integrity of the students’ education, accommodate shifts in technological support and resources and preserve students’ time to degree. Effective Date of the change: Fall 2020

SECTION A-III: CHANGES IN DEGREE PROGRAMS A-III:13 Department of Television, Radio and Emerging Media Establishment of Journalism Minor B.S. degree program in journalism and media studies HEGIS code 0605; SED program code 83638 Minor in Journalism ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Department Requirements (18 credits) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Required Courses: TREM 2401, 2032, 3401. Nine credits chosen from the following: TREM2726W, TREM3402, TREM3403, TREM3404, TREM3405, TREM3782, TREM3841,

TREM3891, TREM3951, TREM4040, TREM4042, TREM4045, TREM4403 Rationale: This is the existing minor in Journalism from the English Department “ported” over to the new integrated JAMS program in the Department of Television, Radio and Emerging Media. It preserves the previous minor’s focus on providing journalism education to students within the equivalent curriculum of the JAMS/TREM courses and expands the offerings with the inclusion of cross-platform and platform specific offerings previously only available to JAMS students. Effective date of change: Fall 2020 SECTION A-III: CHANGES IN DEGREE PROGRAMS A-III:14 Department of Psychology M.A. degree program in experimental psychology HEGIS code 2002; SED program code 90064 This program allows students to concentrate in the broad areas of cognition, learning, and perception, as well as physiological cognitive and behavioral neuroscience, developmental psychology, and social psychology.

Either Students must complete 36 credits and receive a passing grade on the comprehensive examination or 30 credits and a thesis, for which one opts by registering for Psychology 7781G, a three-credit course. The Four required courses include are Psychology 7701G, 7703G, 7705G, and 7706G. The remaining required credits of each student's program consists of are derived from elective courses. Courses offered toward the degree must be 7000-level courses or higher. The comprehensive examination is a requirement of the program and students are eligible to take it when they have registered for their 24th credit. Rationale: Over the past few years, the program's curriculum has evolved to better formalized education in the design and implementation of research in psychology. Program changes proposed here continue this process with the elimination of dual-track program requirements. Specifically, students who register in Psychology 7781G (Research in Psychology for master's thesis) will no longer be allowed a 3-credit reduction in overall required credits. Clarification that comprehensive examination needs to receive a passing grade.

The remainder of each student's program consists of elective courses. Courses offered toward the degree must be 7000-level courses or higher. The comprehensive examination is a requirement of the program and students are eligible to take it when they have registered for their 24th credit. Rationale: Based on continuous outcomes assessment, we are changing one required course (delete PSYC 7244G, require PSYC 7222G). The new requirement, PSYC 7222G, has shown to be critical for students to be considered for positions in consulting and organizational development. Moreover, students who register in Psychology 7781G (Research in Psychology for master's thesis) will no longer be allowed a 3-credit reduction in overall required credits.

Effective date: Fall 2020 SECTION A-III: CHANGES IN DEGREE PROGRAMS A-III:17 Department of School Psychology, Counseling & Leadership M.S. degree program in education: school psychologist HEGIS code 0826.02; SED program code 01998 The school psychologist graduate program comprises an MSED and an Advanced Certificate in school psychology and consists of a 60-credit curriculum in theory, research, and evidence-based practice. The program is registered with the New York State Department of Education, and has full approval from the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP). Upon completion of the 33 credit MSED and then the 27 credit Advanced Certificate, graduates are eligible to apply for certification in school psychology with New York State and to apply for the Nationally Certified School Psychologist (NCSP) credential with the National Association of

School Psychologists (NASP). Students collaborate with faculty, and build professional portfolios that include publications and presentations at local and national conferences. Applicants are admitted to this program only in the fall; see application deadlines posted on the program website. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matriculation requirements --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Applicants must offer at least 9 credits with a grade of C or higher in psychological tests and measurements, statistics in psychology, and educational psychology or developmental psychology. Applicants must present 3 credits with a grade of C or higher in an education course in reading instruction or reading disorders. Applicants must have a minimum undergraduate scholastic index of 3.0 (B). Applicants are interviewed and must submit appropriate letters of recommendation. Although not mandatory as a requirement for admission, applicants are encouraged to submit GRE scores (general and/or subject: psychology) as additional evidence to support the application. Applicants who have not completed all the specific course requirements are given individual consideration and may be admitted with conditions, with the approval of the program head. Students should note additional requirements found at the beginning of this section as well as in the sections "Admission" and "Academic Regulations and Procedures" in the Graduate Bulletin. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Degree requirements --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thirty-three credits are required for the degree. Students must complete 33 credits selected from the following courses: SPCL 7931T, 7932T, 7903T, 7922T, 7911X, 7900X, 7923X, 7901X, 7910X, 7912X, 7913X, 7920X, 7921X, 7906X, 7907X, 7915X. Students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 (B). A student who acquires 6 credits below B- cannot be awarded an M.S. in Education in this program.

The program of study must be approved by the department. Rationale: Since the overwhelming majority of students move from the MS. Ed. in School Psychology into the Advanced Certificate, the Program Coordinator needs to approve graduation from the MS. Ed. before a student can apply for admission into the Advance Certificate in School Psychology. This approval process improves student advisement by requiring that the program coordinator to examine each student’s grades and the courses taken before the student is admitted into the Advanced Certificate. Effective date: Fall 2020 SECTION A-IV: NEW COURSE A-IV:1 Department of Art Studio Art ARTD 2212 Design Thinking 1 hour recitation, 1 hour lecture, 2 hours laboratory; 3 credits Human-centered, project-based studio course on design creation. Research techniques such as need-finding, user observation, and development of functional design requirements. Brainstorming and ideation strategies to explore solutions and develop prototypes. Methods for product testing and design iteration.

SECTION A-IV: NEW COURSE A-IV:4 Department of Art ARTD 3163: Building America: Architecture and Urban Design in the United States 3 hours, 3 credits American architectural development, from pre-Columbian to the present. Significant building types and styles, prominent architects, and vernacular movements. Approaches to urban design. Prerequisite: Art 1050 or Core Studies 2.1 or Core Curriculum 1120 or Art 1010. Rationale: America’s built environment has been shaped by a rich variety of people and cultures, from the pre-Columbian era through the present day. Architecture in America expresses an evolving national identity, one that is both indebted to, and set apart from, the forms and traditions of the Old World. American architects and builders drew upon indigenous sources but also European models; they pioneered new typologies and building methods while struggling to articulate a clearly American voice. Debates among the founding fathers over the merits of the agrarian vs. urban influenced planners who wrestled with the role of the pastoral in in the American city. Immigrants and indigenous peoples alike helped build America’s skylines and cities, shaping styles as diverse as the nation’s population. Private capitalist ventures and public policies, sometimes at odds but frequently in concert, drove urban growth and form. This course will examine well-known monuments and vernacular structures, planned cities and organic developments. Works will be discussed within the contexts of architectural history and American history. It will consider the convergence of often conflicting players and ideas that contributed to American architecture and urban design. Wherever possible, students will study buildings and projects discussed in person, drawing upon local architectural resources. This course fulfills three of the Art Department’s goals: Students will (1) Identify unique characteristic of several artistic traditions, and recognize and analyze the differences among the major periods, artists, genres, and theories of art; students will (2) Write clearly and analytically, with papers including precise thesis statements, well-constructed arguments and thoughtful conclusions, cleanly written and error-free; students will (3) Visit museums and art exhibitions frequently in order to learn to appreciate a wide and varied range of works of art. Effective Date: Fall 2020

SECTION A-IV: NEW COURSES A-IV:5 Department of Art Studio Art ARTD 3814 User Interaction / User Experience (UI/UX) Design 1 hour recitation, 1 hour lecture, 2 hours laboratory; 3 credits Introduction to user interaction design and user experience in the digital sphere. Exploration of the dialogue between a person and a product, system, or service. Prerequisite: Art 2811 and Art 3812 Rationale: As our curriculum stands now, we offer one class in web design. In this class, students become familiar with the basics of how to design type and image for the web. To go farther into the subject, this class offers an introduction to interaction design (UI) and the broader concept of user experience design (UX). User experience design involves shaping the experience of using a website or product and is concerned with the entire user journey, including aspects of branding, design, usability and function. This is applicable to not only web development but also to app design and software interaction design. Effective date: Fall 2020 SECTION A-IV: NEW COURSES A-IV:6 Department of Anthropology and Archaeology ANTH 3460 Historical Archaeology 3 hours lecture; 2 lab hours; 4 credits

Explores the material world and its impact on society over the last 500 years. Provides an overview of archaeological method and theory as well as current approaches to material culture from the historical period. Special emphasis on topics of colonialism, race, class, gender and labor. Prerequisite: Anthropology *1000 or 2100 or 1100 or 1400 or permission of the chairperson. Rationale: This course is designed to broaden and enhance the department’s offerings in 3000-level courses and to draw on the strengths of a new faculty member and diversify the department’s offering of courses with a laboratory component. Developed in the 1930s as a sub-field to archaeology, historical archaeology has emerged as a discipline of its own that combines documentary evidence with artifact analysis. This course will introduce students to this important field of study in archaeology. Studying historical archaeological practices and themes from around the world directly challenges the notion that any group is isolated, timeless, bounded or separate. In this way, this course helps students develop an understanding of our globally interconnected world, a central goal for student learning. The proposed learning outcomes of this course directly extend the mission by examining the development of the discipline and explore some of the major chronological changes in the material world and the ways in which they relate to changes in society from the last 500 years. An overview of archaeological method and theory and current approaches to the practice will be central to the course. Students will learn how archaeologists use material culture to illuminate aspects of the hidden, forgotten or undocumented parts of modern life. We will explore issues such as colonialism, race, class, and labor. Class will use lectures, case studies, class discussions, reading materials, artifact analysis, visual media, and field trips to explore the topics discussed above. Additionally, the class will incorporate a community service learning component that will work in conjunction with a Brooklyn-based historic site. Effective date: Fall 2020 SECTION A-IV: NEW COURSES A-IV:7 Department of Communication Arts, Sciences and Disorders CASD 2615 Social Media Communication 3 hours; 3 credits

Theory and practice of social media communication. History and growth of social media as a 21st century communication tool, impact of social media on interpersonal relationships, organizational communication, civic engagement, political participation, strategies by individuals and organizations for effective social media usage. Practical case studies. (This course is the same as TREM 2615). Rationale: Social media is a constantly evolving space and is changing the world. It is important to understand how social media differ from the traditional mass media, how social media shape the way we connect to and build relationships with others, and how social impact different areas of our life (e.g., politics, commerce, education, gender, privacy), so that individuals and organizations can adopt appropriate strategies to use social media effectively. Effective date: Fall 2020 SECTION A-IV: NEW COURSES A-IV:8 Communication Arts, Sciences, and Disorders CASD 2639 Communication Theory 3 hours; 3 credits Major models, theories and methodologies of communication; use of theories; used to describe, analyze and explain a variety of communication phenomena in real-world situations. This course is the same as COMM 2000. (Not open to students who took Speech 1205 or Communication 1001) Prerequisite: COMM 1000 and ENGL 1010, or permission of the chairperson. Rationale: This new cross-listed course will help communication studies and communication majors understand the theoretical frameworks guiding communication research in a variety of areas. It will teach students how to apply their knowledge of communication theory to read academic scholarship and write for the discipline. This course will strengthen students’ competency in understanding scholarship and academic discourse in communication studies. This course will be cross-listed with the new COMM 2000 Communication Theory course, and will replace SPEC 1205 Modern Communication Theories course that was previously cross-listed

with the introductory course for the communication major, COMM 1001. With the communication program substituting a survey of the field course at the introductory level and adding a standalone theory course at the next level, there arose a need to develop a new course dedicated to the full range of communication theories in the field. The course will give students a firmer foundation for subsequent coursework in COMM 3100/PSYC 3120 Cultural Psychology and COMM 3150W/TREM 2222W Communication Research, which are required for all majors. Effective date: Fall 2020 SECTION A-IV: NEW COURSE A-IV:9 Department of Computer and Information Science CISC *1215 Introduction to Programming Using Python 2 hours lecture, 2 hours lab; 3 credits The Python programming language.

Effective date: Fall 2020 SECTION A-IV: NEW COURSE A-IV:11 Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences EESC 3820 Aquatic Food Resources: Fisheries, Aquaculture, and Aquaponics 3 hours; 3 credits Lecture and Lab on environmentally sound (sustainable) food production via aquaculture and its variant, aquaponics. Lectures will consider fisheries historically, and the problems of overfishing, the history and biology of cultured organisms, and aquaculture and aquaponics systems. The Lab portion of the course will utilize AREAC’s greenhouse, creating small culture systems, monitoring their performance, analyzing for water quality, as well as trouble-shooting and business aspects. Prerequisites: Earth and environmental science (EESC) 1201; EESC 3610 or EESC3620; and permission of the instructor

Special fee applies. Rationale: The future of food for humanity will involve domesticating the ocean. Recent history shows that most wild seafood sources are at their limit, and many are beyond. Aquaculture will become necessary for feeding the increasing human population. Aquaponics represents an added value to aquaculture because it has the potential to ‘close the circle’ in food production by using animal waste to grow edible plants, which are then harvested for both human and fish consumption. The course responds to student demand for courses that address sustainable food production, and that apply not only to the urban, but also the rural environment. Students will get a better grounding in organism biology (fish, plants), as well as being able to apply learned environmental principles to a practical problem. The course will appeal to students, broadly, at the College, representing the College’s commitments to interdisciplinary education. A course in fish and plant culture will help prepare Brooklyn College students for the world at large, in a rapidly growing food industry and make them more environmentally aware. There are substantial challenges, nationally and globally, regarding food supply and food security, an issue that will become especially acute in urban settings. Aquaponics and aquaculture directly address these issues. Topics will range between engineering systems, the biology and physiology of fish and plants, and important societal implications. The laboratory component will be integrated with the lectures and involve creating an aquaponics system and small aquaculture systems, and utilize space in AREAC. Students will gain ‘hands-on’ experience in the creation, operation, and maintenance of an aquaponics facility, and troubleshoot problems. The field component will consist of trips to aquaculture operations. Effective date: Fall 2020 SECTION A-IV: NEW COURSE A-IV:12 Department of History HIST 3255: The Soviet Union and the World 3 hours; 3 credits The history of the Soviet Union in its global contexts. Emphasis on Soviet foreign relations, citizen diplomacy, and Soviet perspectives on the international conflicts and collaborations that shaped the twentieth century. Exploration of how people, ideas,

goods, and expertise traveled across Soviet borders and circulated within and beyond the twentieth-century’s “socialist world.” Study of the global dimensions of the October Revolution, Stalinist industrialization, World War II, the Cold War, and the Soviet Union’s demise. Alternatively, may satisfy requirements in Transnational and Comparative History. Rationale: This course places Soviet history in global perspective. It will introduce students to the history of the Soviet Union’s foreign relations (broadly conceived) and how these foreign relations reverberated domestically. Emphasis will be placed on the foreign policy goals of the Soviet state as well as the participation of “ordinary” people in Soviet citizen diplomacy. Students will examine the global dimensions of the October Revolution, NEP, Stalin’s industrialization drive, and the Soviet experience of World War II and post-war reconstruction. The Cold War will be explored in considerable depth with an emphasis on Soviet perspectives. Lastly, students will consider how the decline and collapse of the Soviet Union was a transnational and even global phenomenon. In their study of both primary and secondary sources, students will develop their knowledge of Soviet history as well as the skills of historical analysis and writing. Moreover, this course will enhance and strengthen the History Department’s offerings, allowing undergraduate history majors an opportunity to satisfy their modern European history requirement or their transnational and comparative history requirement. Given the large number of Brooklyn College students whose personal and family histories are tied to the Soviet Union, no less than the persistence of popular fascination with the Cold War, this course seems poised to appeal to a large number of students. Moreover, contemporary Russia’s approach to international affairs cannot be adequately understood without an understanding of the Soviet Union’s rise and fall. The course satisfies all the major goals that the department has established for B.A. students in history, detailed below. Effective Date: Fall 2020 SECTION A-IV: NEW COURSES A-IV:13 Department of Judaic Studies Hebrew Program HEBR 4030 Advanced Talmud 3 hours; 3 credits

Reading and analysis of select passages from the Talmud, the major repository of Jewish legal and ethical teaching. Readings reflect major concerns of Judaism in antiquity. Training in Rabbinic dialects of Hebrew and Aramaic. Texts will be read in the original Hebrew and Aramaic. Students may take this class for credit multiple times but may not repeat topics. Qualifies as a LOTE (Language Other Than English) course for Pathways College Option purposes. Prerequisite: JUST 3014, or 3015, or 3065, or prior study of Talmud at Brooklyn College or elsewhere, or permission of the chairperson. Rationale: This course will develop students’ abilities in Rabbinic Hebrew and Aramaic, a key sub-dialect of both languages. The course will also develop students’ abilities to think critically about the academic study of Talmud. One of the ongoing questions we shall ask is how the academic study of Talmud and rabbinic literature is simultaneously similar to and different from yeshivah study of them. What are the criteria for an academic approach and what theories and methodologies are and are not appropriate to bring to bear to the study of these late antique sources. Effective date: Spring 2020 SECTION A-IV: NEW COURSES A-IV:14 Department of Judaic Studies JUST 2539 Golems, Dybbuks and the Supernatural in Modern Jewish Literature and Culture 3 hours, 3 credits Classic works of Jewish literature and film featuring the supernatural from the medieval period to the present. Examination of these works’ historical and social contexts. Exploration of literary concepts, including the “uncanny” and the “fantastic.” Rationale: This course will address the recent and rapidly evolving research in the supernatural in the fields of Jewish Studies and Comparative Literature. It will introduce the students to theoretical frameworks for analyzing supernatural texts, and to a variety of topics in Jewish Studies from Jewish mysticism, and the Haskalah (Jewish Enlightenment), to the rise of modern anti-Semitism, and

to the complexity of Jewish identity in the modern world. Students will examine works originally composed in Yiddish, Hebrew, English and German and approach the study of the supernatural from a transnational perspective. Effective Date: Fall 2020 SECTION A-IV: NEW COURSES A-IV:15 Department of Mathematics MATH 4531 Applied Intermediate Statistics 3 hours; 3 credits A second course in Statistics with emphasis on applications in Data Science. Introduction to the use of R software; analysis of variance; multiple comparisons; the Kruskal-Wallis test; linear least squares regression and statistical properties; multivariate normal distribution; Bayesian statistics and basics of decision theory; sampling and experimental design. Optional: non-parametric statistics. Prerequisite: Mathematics 2501 or Mathematics 3501, and Mathematics 2101. Rationale: In conjunction with the Computer and Information Science Department, and to meet the growing demand for Data Science experts, the Mathematics Department has created a joint minor in Data Science. The present course is a fundamental part of Data Science and completes the training in statistics that students would have gotten either in Mathematics 2501 (Probability and Statistics, primarily for Computer Science majors) or in the Mathematics 3501/4501 sequence (Probability/Statistics 1 and 2, primarily for Mathematics majors). Both Mathematics 2501 and 3501 are focused on probability with some basic statistics included; hence the new course will serve both audiences in applying a large number of topics to specific situations arising in Data Science. Mathematics 4501 is a more in-depth course in Statistics involving a more theoretical approach, and the topics in the proposed new course do not substantially overlap those in Mathematics 4501. This relates to the Mathematics Department’s mission to educate students in areas of Mathematics which are useful to their professional development. Effective date: Fall 2020

SECTION A-IV: NEW COURSE A-IV:16 Department of Modern Languages and Literatures MLAN 3210: Environmental World Literature 4 hours; 4 credits Environmental world literature; examining representations of environmental themes in literary texts in different cultures and countries; exploring different environmental literary genres, themes, and critical concepts. Reading knowledge of English required. Rationale: As part of the current program in modern languages and literatures, the MLL Department wishes to offer its students an opportunity to examine methods and materials in reading and teaching environmental-themed world literatures. The field of environmental literary and cultural studies--now under the umbrella term of “environmental humanities”--has become a well-recognized and thriving global intellectual and academic movement. Yet currently no courses on the topic are being offered. Effective date: Fall 2020 SECTION A-IV: NEW COURSES A-IV:17 Department of Television, Radio & Emerging Media TREM 2615 Social Media Communication 3 hours; 3 credits Theory and practice of social media communication. History and growth of social media as a 21st century communication tool, impact of social media on interpersonal relationships, organizational communication, civic engagement, political participation, strategies by individuals and organizations for effective social media usage. Practical case studies. (This course is the same as CASD 2615.)

Rationale: Social media are constantly evolving and are changing the world. It is important to understand how social media differ from traditional mass media, how social media shape the way we connect to and build relationships with others, and how social media impact different areas of our life (e.g., politics, commerce, education, gender, privacy), so that individuals and organizations can adopt appropriate strategies to use them effectively. Effective date: Fall 2020 SECTION A-IV: NEW COURSES A-IV:18 Department of Art ARTD 7096G: Building America: Architecture and Urban Design in the United States 45 hours; 3 credits American architectural development, from pre-Columbian to the present. Significant building types and styles, prominent architects, and vernacular movements. Approaches to urban design. Prerequisite: Prerequisite: Matriculation for the M.A. in art history or for the M.F.A. in art or permission of the deputy chairperson. Rationale: America’s built environment has been shaped by a rich variety of people and cultures, from the pre-Columbian era through the present day. Architecture in America expresses an evolving national identity, one that is both indebted to, and set apart from, the forms and traditions of the Old World. American architects and builders drew upon indigenous sources but also European models; they pioneered new typologies and building methods while struggling to articulate a clearly American voice. Debates among the founding fathers over the merits of the agrarian vs. urban influenced planners who wrestled with the role of the pastoral in in the American city. Immigrants and indigenous peoples alike helped build America’s skylines and cities, shaping styles as diverse as the nation’s population. Private capitalist ventures and public policies, sometimes at odds but frequently in concert, drove urban growth and form. This course will examine well-known monuments and vernacular structures, planned cities and organic developments. Works will be discussed within the contexts of architectural history and American history. It will consider the convergence of often conflicting players and ideas that contributed to American architecture and urban design. Wherever possible, students will study buildings and projects discussed in person, drawing upon local architectural resources.

This course fulfills three of the Art Department’s goals: Students will (1) Identify unique characteristic of several artistic traditions, and recognize and analyze the differences among the major periods, artists, genres, and theories of art; students will (2) Write clearly and analytically, with papers including precise thesis statements, well-constructed arguments and thoughtful conclusions, cleanly written and error-free; students will (3) Visit museums and art exhibitions frequently in order to learn to appreciate a wide and varied range of works of art. Effective date: Fall 2020 SECTION A-IV: NEW COURSES A-IV:19 Department of Psychology PSYC U7743G Psychology of Emotion 45 hours; 3 credits Survey of emotions from the workings of the brain, body, and mind. Review of emotions from evolutionary, cognitive, physiological, and cultural perspectives; development of emotion. Prerequisite: Permission of the graduate deputy chairperson. Rationale: This course will serve as an elective course for students in the Psychology master’s program in Experimental Psychology. It provides an overview of contemporary research on emotions. Emotion is one of the fastest-growing areas of research in experimental psychology and intersects with other areas including cognitive, social, developmental and clinical psychology. This course has successfully been offered twice as a Special Topics course. Effective date: Fall 2020

Computer-assisted language learning is an important field that emerged in the1960s and relevant to new/foreign language learning in all of the languages taught in the Modern Languages and Literatures Department. We would like to be able to offer one course in language and technology that all of our majors can take rather than restrict the course only to students in the Spanish major.

Prerequisite: matriculation in and completion of 15 credits in the school psychologist program and permission of the program head. Corequisite: SPCL 7931T [704.1T]. Rationale: According to the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP), our National Approval Association’s, Model for Comprehensive and Integrated School Psychological Services requires that the graduate school psychologist preparation programs prepare their students in both skills and knowledge in all domains of school psychology. From student exit and alumni surveys, the Program determined that although students’ knowledge of counseling theory was adequate, graduating students and alumni believed that they needed to develop more skill in this area and could do so by receiving more supervised experience in counseling.

Expansion of this course to 60 hours; 4 credits will allow development of this course to include a more nuanced overview of the counseling theory and as suggested by NASP allocate dedicated time for in-class, supervised practice of clinical skills, with emphasis on developing clinical micro-skills and evidence-based approaches to school-based counseling.

Rationale: According to the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP), our National Approval Association’s, Model for Comprehensive and Integrated School Psychological Services requires that the graduate school psychologist preparation programs prepare their students in both skills and knowledge in all domains of school psychology. From student exit and alumni surveys, the Program determined that although students’ knowledge of counseling theory was adequate, graduating students and alumni believed that they needed to develop more skill in this area and could do so by receiving more supervised experience in counseling. Expansion of this course to 60 hours; 4 credits will allow development of this course to include a more nuanced overview of the counseling theory and as suggested by NASP allocate dedicated time for in-class, supervised practice of clinical skills, with emphasis on developing clinical micro-skills and evidence-based approaches to school-based counseling. Effective date: Fall 2020
