8. School of Educationi. Eliminate Programs for Certification in Elementary Education

1. English Major2. English Minor



3. Social Studies Minor

1. College of Businessi. Revise Business Computer Information Systems—4 Year Program

1. Delete Concentrations

Rationale:

This allows a flexible and more timely program for students. The original intent of the concentrations was to help tailor student coursework to specific careers in information systems and to use as a recruitment tool by making the NMU program more distinctive than its peers. While that concept worked well for over a decade, it is no longer effective: Career changes occur faster than curriculum can be modified within a reasonable graduation cycle (there have been students who have three bulletin versions during their studies), lower enrollments cancel upper division courses required by concentrations and force too many course substitutions. The faculty have determined that advising can direct students into appropriate courses, marketing materials can reflect the possible careers (and refer to the U.S. and State of Michigan Labor Statistics job categories), instruction and course scheduling can be simplified, and auditing will be easier.

Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix A.

Effect on Departments: At NMU, students interested in the computing field could opt for Computer Science, Art & Design Electronic Imaging, or Computer Information Systems. All use or develop software tools and applications, but the focus is very different. CIS emphasizes end user and business systems, such as web transaction processing (ecommerce, registration, banking) and organizational systems (network administration, databases). a) The A&D focus is such that students do not tend to take CIS courses and none are listed

within their degree program. b) CS students and CIS students tend to take one or two courses from the other discipline,

but none of the proposed changes will have an impact. The Math & CS Dept. has been informed of the proposed changes.

c) The NMU Clinical Lab Science – Systems Analyst major has a 26 credit component of CIS courses. Only one proposed course change will impact that component; CLS have been advised and are acting upon that advice with their own curriculum proposal, which is included.

Date of Implementation: Fall 2012

2. Change Approved CIS Electives to a CIS Electives “Choice of 12 Credits (of which at least 8 Credits Must Be at the 300 Level or Above) From the Following”

a. Add “Any CIS course not taken for the Core” 1-8 cr.b. Add MGT 228: Customer Service (4 cr.)c. Add MGT 355: Methods of Training 250 (4 cr.)



d. Add MKT 470: E-Commerce and Marketing (4 cr.)e. Add CS 101: Website Construction (4 cr.)f. Add CS 120: Computer Science I (4 cr.)g. Add CS 122: Computer Science II (4 cr.)

Rationale:

Given the elimination of concentrations, elective credits will to retain the same number of total credits for the major.


Effect on Departments: See Item 1.



Systems Core

Rationale:

This change was made to be consistent with the program title.



b. Increase Core Credits from 18 to 22

Rationale:

The change accommodates the addition of CIS 415 (2 cr) and increased credits in CIS 226 (from 2 to 4 cr), the modified course.



c. Revise Requirement for CIS 155: Software Development to Include OR CS 120: Computer Science I (4 cr.)

Rationale:

Both courses are introductory computer programming courses which use different programming languages. CIS 155 emphasizes business problems rather than traditional computer science



problems. For CIS students wishing to obtain more programming background, the CS 120 option gains them entry into other CS courses. For CS students who change their major to CIS, they would already have taken CS 120; we currently write course substitutions for CIS155, as needed. Both courses are 4 credits.



d. Add CIS 415: Systems Project Development (2 cr.) OR CIS 491: Internship (1-4 cr.)

Rationale:

Currently, both CIS 415 and CIS 491 are used in current CIS concentrations, but not consistently. Students benefit from a final course that integrates much of their learned skills and abilities into a more complex and real life application. Ideally, an internship fills this slot, but not all students have this opportunity. CIS 415 is a service learning course, which over the past 20 years has served many campus and community organizations, contributed to student civic engagement and gained publicity and awareness of the program by its service projects. We believe all students should have one or the other option; many programs have a similar senior capstone requirement.



ii. Revise Computer Information Systems—2 Year Program1. Rename the Program to Associate Computer Information

Systems

Rationale:

By including the degree level in the name, it helps to differentiate the program from the Baccalaureate program.




Systems Core

Rationale:



The change was made to be consistent with the program title.



b. Revise Requirement for CIS 155: Software Development to Include OR CS 120: Computer Science I (4 cr.)

Rationale:

Both courses are introductory computer programming courses which use different programming languages. CIS 155 emphasizes business problems rather than traditional computer science problems. For CIS students wishing to obtain more programming background, the CS 120 option gains them entry into other CS courses. For CS students who change their major to CIS, they would already have taken CS 120; we currently write course substitutions for CIS155, as needed. Both courses are 4 credits.



c. Increase Core Credits from 16 to 18

Rationale:

Due to the removal of CS 220 from the required courses, the number of credits is thereby reduced.



3. Revise Business Electivesa. Reduce Business Elective Credits from 6 to 4b. Replace “Choose from the following” with “Choose 4

Credits from College of Business courses 100-299 not otherwise required”

Rationale:

Changing the Business Electives allows for more flexibility for students.





iii. Revise Computer Information Systems Minor1. Reduce Required Core Courses

a. Remove CIS 155: Software Development I (4 cr.)b. Remove CIS 220: Network Concepts (2 cr.)

2. Increase Number of Elective Credits from 4 to 10

Rationale:

The minor was too restrictive for students who declared it later in their academic career and was not flexible enough to meet the varied needs of career plans. This change brings the CIS minor in line with many NMU minors.



iv. Modify Existing Courses1. CIS 220: Network Concepts

a. Rename and Renumber to CIS 226: Introduction to Networks and Security

b. Increase Credit Hours from 2 to 4

Rationale:

There are three reasons why this change is requested:

i) This course takes a prior 2-credit introductory networking course, updates it, and adds a significant 2-credit equivalent component on computer security, to result in a 4-credit course.

ii) The College of Business currently does not offer a course focused on computer security, nor does the university. Four credit courses are more desirable in a program than 2 credit courses for 2 reasons: (1) because 2 credit courses increase scheduling complexity, and (2) 2 credit courses give the impression of being "light" or "easy."

iii) The Bureau of Labor Statistics (see http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos305.htm) has determined that future employment prospects are “excellent” for workers with skills in computer networking and computer security.

Proposed Bulletin Copy:

CIS 220 226 Network Concepts Introduction to Networks and Security2 4 cr.Offered: WinterPrerequisite: CIS 100 or instructor's permission None.Course provides detailed descriptions and workings of network hardware and software components and covers operation and management of a LAN. Hands-on demonstration and



assignments given. Students set up NICs, hubs, wiring for Ethernet, and other topologies. This is a general introduction to the next generation of operating system technology and information security. The course covers descriptions and workings of network hardware and software components, the operation and management of a computer network, the need for information security, performing a risk assessment, and elements of a security program including the security plan and security tools. The topics of computer and network forensic investigations on network operating systems will be covered.


2. CIS 250: Systems Analysis and Design (4 cr.)a. Remove CIS 155 and CIS 220 as Prerequisitesb. Add CIS 100 or permission of department as a

Prerequisite

Rationale:

CIS 155 and CIS 220 no longer are crucial prerequisites due to changes in the systems development field towards software development tools. Difficulties with transfer students and students changing their majors necessitated frequent overrides and student frustration with registration restrictions. It will allow students to concurrently take courses, easing their sequencing of courses and, potentially, duration of study years.


CIS 250 Systems Analysis and Design4 cr.Offered: FallPrerequisite: CIS 155 and CIS 220 (or concurrent enrollment) CIS 100 or permission of department.Provides students with a basic understanding of the systems development process, including systems requirements, design and implementation. Concepts, tools and methodologies used by the professional analyst are presented. Issues and decisions associated with managing a systems development project are explored.


3. CIS 334: Microsoft Network Operating Systems II (4 cr.)a. Rename and Renumber to CIS 336: Network Operating

Systems

Rationale:



Due to various shifts taking place in the technology industry, one can no longer be sure of the longevity of the “Microsoft” or “Windows” brands. Microsoft may be split up into various new companies, or some other brand of network operating system may eclipse Windows (just as Windows eclipsed Novell a decade ago). Hence it is no longer wise to refer to a specific brand in the title of the course, as that would necessitate changing the title if something happened to the brand.


CIS 334 336 Microsoft Network Operating Systems II Network Operating Systems4 cr.Offered: Contact department for information.Prerequisite: CIS 234 or instructor's permission. CIS 226

Students learn the most complex functions and features of installing, configuring and maintaining the latest Windows based LAN systems. The topics of computer and network forensic investigations on Windows based network operating systems will be covered. Students learn the specific functions and features of installing and maintaining new generation networks and tools. Topics include planning, configuration, managing resources, connectivity, running applications, monitoring, optimization and troubleshooting.


v. Delete Courses1. CIS 230: Novell Network Operating Systems I (2 cr.)

Rationale:

CIS 230 focuses on the Novell operating systems, a brand diminishing in importance in the IT field. The course has not been offered in the recent past and no plans are to offer it in the future.



2. CIS 234: Microsoft Network Operating Systems I (2 cr.)

Rationale:

In the past, the fundamentals of networks were introduced in CIS220, a 2 credit course for the technology core. All students in the CIS major were required to have this basic foundation of networks. Only students pursuing the Network Administration concentration went on to the details of branded operating systems, i.e. Microsoft and Novell. With the dissolving of concentrations and a move towards four credit courses, the structure of the network-related course offerings is changing. This eliminates the lower division 2 credit course, CIS234.





3. CIS 330: Novel Network Operating Systems II (2 cr.)

Rationale:

CIS 330 focuses on the Novell operating systems, a brand diminishing in importance in the IT field. The course has not been offered in the recent past and no plans are to offer it in the future.



4. CIS 416: Advanced Systems Development Project (1-3 cr.)

Rationale:

CIS 416 was a sister course of CIS 415 Systems Development Project. CIS 416 appealed to students who wished to put more credit hours into a 415 community systems project. The course has not been offered in the recent past and no plans are to offer it in the future. For the infrequent few who might choose this option, it can be handled with a directed study.



5. CIS 490: Seminar on Information Systems and Information Technology (2-4 cr.)

Rationale:

CIS490 was intended to be a current events/topics course offered to soon-to-graduate students. CIS 490 has never been taught, primarily due to staffing constraints and the fact that CIS faculty tend to integrate new topics into existing courses where relevant. We believe that CIS 495 Special Topics is a better alternative for this situation, enabling students to take a course on new technology with a specific title on their transcript rather than a generic title.



2. Department of Clinical Lab Sciences—Clinical Systems Analyst Concentrationi. Reduce Number of Required Concentration Credits from 60 to 59

Rationale:



Due to the changes in the College of Business for the Computer Information Systems, the B.S. Clinical Systems Analyst concentration was highly impacted. The overall number of required concentration credits is reduced by one credit due to the changes.

Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix B.

Effect on Departments: CLS worked in conjunction with the College of Business.

Date of Implementation: Fall 2012 for All CLS Changes in this report

ii. Increase Number of Required Concentration Core Credits from 49 to 51

Rationale:

Due to the changes in the College of Business for the Computer Information Systems, the B.S. Clinical Systems Analyst concentration was highly impacted. The overall number of required concentration credits is increased by two credit due to the changes.


Effect on Departments: CLS worked in conjunction with the College of Business.

iii. Add CIS 100: Computer Concepts (2 cr.)

Rationale:

This course is a required prerequisite for subsequent CIS courses listed in this program’s changes.

Proposed Bulleting Copy: See Appendix B.

iv. Add Option of CIS 112 Microsoft Applications (2 cr.) AND CIS 212 Computer Assisted Program Solving (2 cr.) OR CIS 110 Principles of Computer Information Systems (4 cr.)

Rationale:

Courses provide computer application skills necessary for major and two-way option provides flexibility in course scheduling. CIS 112/212 emphasize spreadsheet (Excel) and database (Access) software, both introductory and advanced. CIS 110 is an introductory level course in a broader array of productivity software, including advanced document and presentation generators.


v. Add CIS 226: Introduction to Networks and Security (4 cr.)



Rationale:

CIS 226, Introduction to Networks and Security, 4 cr. is a new course proposed by CIS, which combines content of the former CIS 220 (Network Concepts) and CIS 234 (Microsoft Networks) for a total of 4 credits.


vi. Remove CIS 355: Web Applications Programming (4 cr.) from Concentration

Rationale:

This course will not be offered often enough to be a required course for the curriculum.


vii. Offer Option of CIS: 415 Systems Development Project (2 cr.) OR CIS 491: Internship (2 cr.)

Rationale:

By offering the option of CIS 415 or CIS 491, students have more flexibility in how they complete their capstone for the program.


viii. Require CIS 440: Management Information Systems (4 cr.)

Rationale:

See item ix below for rationale.


ix. Remove Option of CIS 440: Management Information Systems (4cr.) OR CIS 302: Unix System Administration (4 cr.) OR CIS 491: Internship in Computer Information Systems (1-8 cr.)

Rationale:

CS 302, UNIX Administration, 4 cr. is not appropriate for CSA major; its focus is on the highly technical aspects of network server administration and programming. CIS 491 has been moved to another option in order to provide a capstone (vii). The only course then is CIS 440, which is still appropriate for the concentration.




x. Remove Option of CIS 230: Novell Network Operating Systems I OR CIS 234 Microsoft Network Operating Systems (2 cr.)

Rationale:

CIS 230, Novell Network Operating Systems, 2 cr. will no longer be offered, and CIS 234, Microsoft Network Operating Systems, 2 cr. The course has been combined with the old CIS 220 course for the proposed new CIS 226 course.


xi. Reduce Number of Other Required Courses in Concentration from 11 to 8

Rationale:

Based on the deletion of ET 281: Computer Systems Servicing (3 cr.) from the Other Required Courses, the total number of credits is reduced by three.


xii. Remove ET 281: Computer Systems Servicing (3 cr.)

Rationale:

ET 281, Computer Systems Servicing, has not been offered in a long time.


3. Department of Earth, Environmental and Geographical Sciencesi. Revise EEGS Department/Program Policies

Rationale:

EEGS has dropped the minimum of “C” grade to provide more flexibility without compromising academic goals. EEGS decided to propose this revision to help increase graduate rates while still maintaining reasonably high expectations from our students.


As a requirement for graduation, all non-teaching geography earth, environmental and geographical sciences department majors must have a minimum of “C” and a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.25 for all courses constituting the major curriculum. Exceptions must be requested via petition to the Department’s Appeal Committee. Students majoring in secondary education earth science, secondary education geography, or minoring in geography education or earth science education must retain a grade point average of 2.70 or



greater with no grade below a “C” in the professional education sequence, the major and/or minors and required cognates combined.

Effects on Departments: None

Date of Implementation: Fall 2012 for all changes

ii. Add BI 466: Stream Ecology as an elective to the Environmental Science Major for both Natural Resources and Water Resources concentrations

Rationale:

When the Department of Biology proposed the creation of BI 466: Stream Ecology for Implementation in Fall 2012, the Department of EEGs was in full support and felt that this course would make a good addition to both the Natural and Water Resources concentrations under the Environmental Science Major.

Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix C.

iii. Revise Secondary Education—Social Studies Major1. Add HS 105: World History [IV]2. Add HS 126: The United States to 1865 [IV]3. Add HS 127: The United States Since 1865[IV]

Rationale:

As with many of the departments across campus this year, the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) mandates that our curriculum should integrate geography and history. The MDE insists that Secondary Education Geography majors be required, rather than encouraged, to take three history courses. They are: HS 105 World History, HS 126 United States to 1865, and HS 127 United States Since 1865.


iv. Revise Earth Science Minor1. Move GC 365: Historical Geology from Required to Elective2. Move AS 103: Observational and Solar System Astronomy

[III] from Elective to Required3. Add “Electives 4 cr. Choose from the following:”4. Add to Electives—GC 210: Earth Hazards [III]



Rationale:

Revising the minor, through the addition of Electives and movement of AS 103, has allowed EEGS to make this minor consistent with the changes of the Majors’ Revision last year. The movement of AS 103 to the required courses is also a requirement of the Michigan Department of Education.


v. Revise Environmental Conservation Minor1. Rename to Minor to Environmental Studies2. Add GC 210: Earth Hazards [III] (4 cr.) to the Electives

Rationale:

EEGS revised this minor, with the new title and course changes, to reflect the change in the Majors’ Revision last year as well as course offerings and emphases.


vi. Revise Geographic Information Systems Minor1. Rename Minor to Geomatics Minor2. Remove CIS 100: Computer Concepts from Electives3. Remove CS 470: Artificial Intelligence from Electives4. Add DD 100: Technical Drafting with Introduction to CAD (4

cr.)5. Remove GC 330: Planning Theory and Practice (2 cr.)6. Remove MA 240: Discrete Mathematics (4 cr.)

Rationale:

EEGS revised this minor, with the new title and course changes, to reflect the change in the Majors’ Revision last year as well as course offerings and emphases. The corresponding major—Geomatics—replaced the GIS major. GC 330 will no longer be offered in the department, so EEGS is removing it from the electives. The content of CIS 100, CS 470 and MA 240 is not aligned closely with the Geomatics minor, so EEGS proposes dropping them as an elective. DD 100 aligns closely with the drafting aspects, so EEGS has added it to the list of electives.


vii. Revise Geography Cluster Minor1. Rename to Earth, Environmental and Geographical Sciences

Cluster Minor2. Revise Minor Description



Rationale:

The updates to this minor are due to the change in the department’s name, and the fact that the planning major is suspended.


For Earth, Environmental and Geographical Sciences Department non-teaching majors only.

Total Credits Required for Minor 20Note: The cluster minor may consist of courses that emphasize the physical, cultural or applied (planning) areas of the discipline primary themes of the department. Approval of a cluster minor must be obtained from each department contributing two or more courses to the minor. Courses comprising the cluster minor must be submitted to the Degree Audits Office during the student’s third semester at NMU.

viii. Revise Human Geography Minor1. Rename Minor to Sustainability Minor2. Reduce Number of Required Total Credits for Minor from 22

to 203. Remove GC 225: Introduction to Maps (2 cr.)4. Add GC 269: Introduction to Sustainability (4 cr.) to Required 5. Reduce Number of Electives from 12 to 86. Add GC 317: Geography of Food Systems (4 cr.) to Electives

Rationale:

With EEGS’ newly introduced curriculum, the human geography major no longer exists. Interest in environmental sustainability has grown tremendously in the past few years. Endowed chairs in sustainability science have been established at leading institutions. The sustainability minor will prepare students for a future in which we must work together and think creatively. GC 269 Introduction to Sustainability is a new course that is an essential part of this minor, so we have removed GC 225 Introduction to Maps from the requirements. Food security is an important issue for living in a sustainable world so we have added GC 317 Geography of Food Systems to the list of electives.


ix. Eliminate Physical Geography Minor

Rationale:

The physical geography major no longer exists in our department, so EEGS are discontinuing the minor.




x. Eliminate Planning Minor

Rationale:

The planning major was suspended, so EEGS no longer will offer the minor in planning.


xi. Revise Geographic Information Systems Certificate1. Reduce Number of Total Credits from 35 to 312. Remove CIS 100: Computer Concepts (2 cr.) from Electives3. Remove CS 470: Artificial Intelligence from Electives4. Add DD 100: Technical Drafting with Introduction to CAD (4

cr.)5. Remove GC 330: Planning Theory and Practice (2 cr.)6. Remove MA 240: Discrete Mathematics (4 cr.)7. Reduce Number of Other Required Courses from 12 to 88. Remove CIS 110: Principles of Computer Information Systems

or equivalent (4 cr.) from Other Required Courses9. Remove MA 104 College Algebra with Applications in the

Sciences and Technologies or equivalent (4 cr.) from Other Required Courses

10. Add MA 103 Finite Mathematics (or higher; MA 171 preferred) (4 cr.) to Other Required Courses

Rationale:

The revisions to the GIS certificate align with the proposed changes to the Geomatics minor. The planning major has been suspended, so GC 330 is not offered as an elective and we propose to remove it from the certificate program. The course content of CIS 110, CS 470 and MA 240 does not specifically prepare students for GC 235, GC 335, GC 425 or the courses in the GIS certificate, so EEGS proposes to remove the requirement, thereby helping students progress more rapidly through their degree programs. MA 103 provides a better foundation for students in GIS courses than does MA 104, so EEGS would like to change the required MA course. DD 100 aligns closely with the drafting aspects of GIS, thereby adding it to the list of electives.


xii. Revise Course Descriptions

Rationale for All Revisions of Course Descriptions:



Our rationale for revising some of the entries in the Bulletin is to improve the descriptions so that they better reflect our courses in the context of our new curriculum that was adopted in fall 2011. We have not changed the goals or objectives of our program. With these revisions we do not anticipate large changes in job opportunities, related programs, the need for accreditation, or projected enrollments. Where appropriate, additional rationales are provided.


1. GC 100: Physical Geography (4 cr.)


GC 100 Physical Geography4 cr.Offered: Fall, Winter, SummerApplies toward the division III liberal studies requirement.Examination of the earth's physical phenomena to develop a knowledge and appreciation of the relationships between human activities and environmental processes.Note: Note: Course does not meet the laboratory course graduation requirement.

2. GC 105: World Regional Geography (4 cr.)


GC 105 World Regional Geography4 cr.Offered: Contact department for information.Provides a thematic survey of world regions emphasizing environmental, population, cultural, geopolitical and economic development issues.Note: May not be applied toward any major offered by the Geography Department of Earth Environmental and Geographical Sciences.

3. GC 164: Human Geography (4 cr.)


GC 164 Human Geography4 cr.Offered: Fall, Winter, SummerApplies toward the division IV liberal studies requirement.Applies toward the world cultures requirement.Examines ation of the culturally induced differences in the world pattern of population growth, resource utilization, language, religion, agriculture, industry, political systems and environmental impacts of societies.

4. GC 200: North America (4 cr.)




GC 200 North America4 cr.Offered: Fall Contact the department for informationAnalysis of the physical and cultural geography of Canada and the United States.

5. GC 202: Soils (4 cr.)


GC 202 Soils4 cr. (3-0-2)Offered: FallPrerequisite: GC 100 or instructor's permission.Study of soil formation, soil classification, soil survey applications, laboratory and field procedures and soil management.

6. GC 205: Introduction to Geographic Research (4 cr.)

Rationale:

Drop AIS 101 requirement from GC 205 because most students do not need the content of that class to prepare them for GC 205. With the support of staff from the Lydia M. Olson Library at NMU, background material is presented in GC 205 to make sure students have the computer experience and database-searching skills that they need to succeed in the class and in other courses in the major. The AIS 101 prerequisite has created a bottleneck in getting students through this required course of GC 205, which ideally is taken in a student’s second or third year in the major.


GC 205 Introduction to Geographic Research4 cr.Offered: Fall, WinterPrerequisite: AIS 101, EN 211 with a "C" or better, and GC 164 or GC 100.An introduction to geographic thought, research methods and writing. Research and writing include an examination of professional journals, book reviews, proposal development and literature searches.

7. GC 210: Earth Hazards (4 cr.)


GC 210 Earth Hazards4 cr.Offered: Summer; contact the department for other offerings.

Applies toward the division III liberal studies requirement.



This web-based course focuses on how the normal physical processes of the Earth concentrate their energies and impact humans and their structures. Earth system processes such as volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides, floods, subsidence, meteorite impacts, and tsunamis will be studied. Techniques for evaluating the risks associated with these hazards are included in the course.Examination of how physical processes of the Earth focus energies and affect humans and their structures. Earth processes such as volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides, floods, subsidence, meteorite impacts, and tsunamis will be studied.

8. GC 220: Economic Geography (4 cr.)

Rationale:

The “old” course description was written over three decades ago and was intended to reflect a “classical economics” emphasis on geospatial issues of production functions, distribution linkages, market patterns and consumer geographies. The course was intended to serve primarily the geography major and to prepare those majors to continue in the geography master’s degree program, which no longer exists. The course was also intended to support the planning major, which has been suspended. Today, however, we stand on the brink of a global economy more crowded, more interconnected, more volatile and more unstable than it has ever been. The re-defined GC 220 course is aimed not only at exploring the geographic variability of the economic dynamics of such issues as population growth, economic sustainability, resource depletion, food production, patterns of land use, economic justice and social development, but also at meeting the changing academic and professional needs and interests of Northern Michigan University’s students.


GC 220 Economic Geography4 cr.Offered: Contact department for information WinterAnalysis of the spatial characteristics of the economic environment and principles related to resource use in the private and public sectors. Examines global spatial variability of economic growth, economic development, standards of living and quality of life from a geographic perspective. Also examines the economic geography of the production of goods and serices, and spatial patterns of consumption and environmental impact.

9. GC 225: Introduction to Maps (2 cr.)

Rationale:

We wish to state “Math placement at MA 100” rather than require MA 100 because we actively seek to remove impediments to students’ progress through their degree programs. The skills of MA 100 are not required for GC 225.




GC 225 Introduction to Maps2 cr. (1-0-2)Offered: Fall, WinterPrerequisite: Math placement at MA 100 or higher.Introduces major concepts and applications in the reading, analysis and interpretation of maps with special emphasis on USGS topographic maps. Lecture sessions cover major concepts and foundational knowledge, while lab sessions emphasize hands-on applications and commonly used techniques.

10. GC 235: Quantitative Methods (4 cr.)

Rationale:

The course content of CIS 110 does not specifically prepare students for GC 235, GC 335, or GC 425 so we wish to remove the prerequisite. The CIS 110 prerequisite has also impeded student progress because not enough sections are offered each semester to satisfy demand. We would like to eliminate the CIS 110 prerequisite to help students progress more rapidly through their degree programs. Students who have had MA 171 find that GC 235 builds well from their math background, so we would like to add the phrase “MA 171 is recommended” to the description for GC 235.


GC 235 Quantitative Methods4 cr.Offered: Fall, WinterPrerequisite: CIS 110 and Math placement at MA 103 or higher (MA 171 is recommended.)Presentation and interpretation of data, descriptive statistics and measures of spatial patterns, introduction to statistical inference and measures of association, with particular reference to geographic examples.

11. GC 255: Physical Geology (4 cr.)

Special attention is given to Michigan rocks and minerals, their occurrence, formation and economic importance. Field trips are required and are commonly taken in the laboratory period.

13. GC 269: Introduction to Sustainability (4 cr.)

Rationale:

No other course in our major has a grade range so we would like to delete it here.


GC 269 Introduction to Sustainability4 cr.Offered: Contact department FallGraded: A/FPrerequisite: EN 211, GC 164 and either GC 100, ENV 101 or GC 255.An overview of the basic principles of sustainability and sustainable systems (environmental, social, economic) from global, national, regional and local perspectives.

14. GC 295: Special Topics in Geography (2-4 cr.)


GC 295 Special Topics in Geography2-4 cr.Offered: On demand Contact the department for information.Prerequisite: Instructor's permission.Special study of problems and/or regions that are not part of the regular offerings.

15. GC 300: Regional Studies: World Cultures (4 cr.)

Rationale:

We want students to complete EN 211 before they take these courses, and a minimum grade of “C” or better in EN 211 is a requirement for graduation, but we do not wish to require that students earn a grade of “C” or better before taking GC 300, GC 305, or GC 360. Eliminating this requirement will enable students to take one of these courses concurrently with retaking EN 211 (if they earned a grade less than a “C”), which will help reduce time to degree because these GC courses are not offered every semester.

Effect on Departments: MLL needs approval from the Liberal Studies Committee for Liberal Studies credit.


ii. Revise French Curriculum1. Revise Course Descriptions

a. FR 361: Survey of French Literature from the Medieval Period to the 17th Century (4 cr.)

Rationale:

We desire to reword the description of all our literature courses. Instead of “The texts studied serve as springboards to consideration of art, culture, language, history and humanity,” we want them to read “Students will learn about historical, political, economic, social and cultural contexts of societies that produced the texts and will improve their abilities to critically read and analyze literary works.” This descriptor is more accurate and student-centered.


FR 361 Survey of French Literature from the Medieval Period to the 17th Century4 cr.Offered: A literature class is offered every fallPrerequisite: FR 300 or instructor's permission.Students examine some of the masterpieces of French literature from the medieval period through the 17th century. The texts studied serve as springboards to consideration of art, culture, language, history and humanity. Students will learn about historical, political, economic, social and cultural contexts of societies that produced the texts and will improve their abilities to critically read and analyze literary works.


b. FR 362: Survey of French Literature of the 18th and 19th

Centuries (4 cr.)

Rationale:





FR 362 Survey of French Literature of the 18th and 19th Centuries4 cr.Offered: A literature class is offered every fallPrerequisite: FR 300 or instructor's permission.An examination of some of the masterpieces of French's 18th and 19th century literature. The texts studied serve as springboards to consideration of art, culture, language, history and humanity. Students will learn about historical, political, economic, social and cultural contexts of societies that produced the texts and will improve their abilities to critically read and analyze literary works.


c. FR 363: Survey of French Literature of the 20th Century (4 cr.)

Rationale:

FR 428, SN 428 and SN 429 have focused on 20th Century literature from France, Spain, and Spanish America. Now that we are more than a decade into the 21st century and excellent literature has been written this century, we want to utilize some more recent texts in these classes, so we propose that the descriptions reflect that and become more student-centered.


FR 363 Survey of French Literature of the 20th Century French Literature Since 19004 cr.Offered: A literature class is offered every fallPrerequisite: FR 300 or instructor's permission.A study of some of the masterpieces of France's 20th and 21st-century literature. The texts studied serve as springboards to consideration of art, culture, language, history and humanity. Students will learn about historical, political, economic, social and cultural contexts of societies that produced the texts and will improve their abilities to critically read and analyze literary works.Date of Implementation: Fall 2012

d. FR 426: 18th Century French Literature (4 cr.)

Rationale:





FR 426 18th Century French Literature4 cr.Offered: A literature class is offered every fallPrerequisite: FR 300 or instructor's permission.Students examine some of the masterpieces of France's 18th century literature. The texts studied serve as springboards to consideration of art, culture, language, history and humanity. Students will learn about historical, political, economic, social and cultural contexts of societies that produced the texts and will improve their abilities to critically read and analyze literary works.


e. FR 428: 20th Century French Novel (4 cr.)

Rationale:



FR 428 20th Century French Novel4 cr.Offered: A literature class is offered every fallPrerequisite: FR 300 or instructor's permission.Students examine some of the masterpieces of France's 20th century literature. The texts studied serve as springboards to consideration of art, culture, language, history and humanity. Students will learn about historical, political, economic, social and cultural contexts of societies that produced the texts and will improve their abilities to critically read and analyze literary works.


2. Eliminate LG 399: Graduation Assessment for Language Minors (0 cr.)

a. French Minorb. Spanish Minorc. Elementary Education French Minord. Elementary Education Spanish Minore. Secondary Education French Minorf. Secondary Education Spanish Minor



Rationale:

LG 399 is an assessment “course” which carries no credit. The idea mirrors what we do for a final assessment for our majors through LG 499. Although we believe LG 399 is not a bad thing, we believe we learn enough about of Spanish and French programs through LG499, and we are overwhelmed with assessment of our majors alone. This proposal will allow us to focus on outcomes assessment for our majors, and we will continue to assess our French and Spanish programs through LG499 alone.


iii. Revise Spanish Curriculum1. Delete SN 300: Reading and Writing (4 cr.)2. Delete SN 305: Conversation (4 cr.)3. Delete SN 400: Advanced Spanish Composition and Grammar

(4 cr.)

Rationale:

Currently, students majoring in Spanish proceed directly from SN 202 (Intermediate Spanish II) to the current SN 300 (Reading and Writing). This presents great difficulty, for students and faculty, for several reasons. First, upon completion of SN 202, students are unprepared for tackling literary study in a second language. They still have not been exposed to all the basic facets of Spanish grammar and language structure, and their control of the four modalities (reading, writing, speaking, and listening) is still very weak. Simply put, the vast majority of our students need to work on their Spanish skills—reading, writing, speaking, and grammar.

Our department does offer one advanced grammar course regularly, SN 400. Majors and minors are required to take this course; however, they are required to take it after taking SN 300. It makes much more sense to require an extra semester of advanced language study before students are confronted with challenging literary texts.

Recognizing this fact, most universities have a third-year sequence of advanced language courses that parallels the elementary and intermediate language sequence. If our proposal is approved, our students will have the benefit of this third year of advanced language study, which will increase the likelihood that they will enjoy and perform well in our literature and culture courses.

Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix D

Effect on Departments: MLL needs to notify from Liberal Studies for the removal of Liberal Studies credit on SN 305.


4. Create SN 301: Advanced Spanish I (4 cr.)



Rationale:

As mentioned above, this course (SN301) and its partner (SN 302) integrate two existing courses into a more organic course progression, using all language skills in its approach. Students that have received credit for SN400 should not receive credit for SN301, as the material covered will substantially overlap.


SN 301 Advanced Spanish 4 cr.Offered: FallPrerequisite: Spanish 202 or equivalentApplies toward the division V liberal studies requirement.Applies toward the upper division liberal studies requirement.This course develops learner Spanish skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening) as an organic whole at the Advanced level. This course and its partner (Spanish 302: Advanced Spanish II) undertake a comprehensive review and expansion of the Spanish grammar system.

Effect on Departments: MLL needs to seek approval from Liberal Studies for Liberal Studies credit.


5. Create SN 302: Advanced Spanish II (4 cr.)

Rationale:

As mentioned above, this course (SN302) and its partner (SN 301) integrate two existing courses into a more organic course progression, using all language skills in its approach. Students that have received credit for SN 495, Advanced Spanish II, should not receive credit for SN302, as the material covered will substantially overlap.


SN 302 Advanced Spanish II4 cr.Offered: WinterPrerequisite: Spanish 202 or equivalentApplies toward the division V liberal studies requirement.Applies toward the upper division liberal studies requirement.This course develops learner Spanish skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening) as an organic whole at the Advanced level. This course and its partner (Spanish 301: Advanced Spanish I) undertake a comprehensive review and expansion of the Spanish grammar system.



Effect on Departments: MLL needs to seek approval from Liberal Studies for Liberal Studies credit.

Date of Implementations: Fall 2012

6. Create SN 315: Introduction to Literary Study in Spanish (4 cr.)

Rationale:

This course number is meant to have students complete SN 301 and 302. Please see earlier rationale about why SN 300 is being deleted. SN315 will be very similar to the current SN300. Students that have received credit for SN300 should not receive credit for SN315.


SN 315 Introduction to Literary Study in Spanish4 cr.Offered: FallPrerequisite: Spanish 301 or 302An introduction to the study and critical appreciation of poetry, prose, and drama from both Latin America and Spain.


7. Create SN 435: Latin American Women Writers (4 cr.)

Rationale:

This course was successfully offered as a special topics course in fall 2010. Given the breadth of teaching abilities and research interests of the faculty in Spanish, this course will allow others to teach this course without pinning them down to a specific time period or location, but still focus on works written by women.


SN 435 Latin American Women Writers4 cr.Offered: OccasionallyStudents will read texts written by women throughout Latin America. They will learn about historical, political, economic, social and cultural contexts of societies that produced texts and will improve their abilities to critically read and analyze literary works.




8. Create SN 372: Spanish for Criminal Justice (2 cr.)

Rationale:

The field of criminal justice requires specialized vocabulary and expressions that are not covered in the other Spanish courses on campus. This will helps students who will work with Spanish speakers and/or interpret in the field of criminal justice.


SN 372 Spanish for Criminal Justice2 cr.Offered: Every other fallPrerequisite: SN 202 or four years of high school Spanish.Covers vocabulary and phrases likely to be of use to those who will interact with Spanish speakers in a law enforcement setting. It includes some role-playing and discussion of cultural factors that have an impact on issues related to law enforcement and Spanish speakers.


9. Change Credit Hours for SN 371: Spanish for Health Care from 1 to 2

Rationale:

We taught this class several times as a 1-credit course. It was helpful, but feedback we received from students indicated their need and desire for more material. We taught it as a two-credit course in an experimental format with more satisfactory results. In addition, administratively, having this course be worth two credits rather than one makes it more possible to assign (it forms a nice block with LG250, also 2 credits, or SN105, a 6-credit course).


SN 371 Spanish for Health Care1 cr. 2 cr.Offered: Fall, odd yearsPrerequisite: SN 202 or four years of high school Spanish.Covers vocabulary and phrases likely to be of use to health care providers who will interact with Spanish speakers. It includes some role-playing and discussion of cultural factors that have an impact on issues related to health care and Spanish speakers.


10. Change Course Descriptions a. SN 425: Masterpieces of the Golden Age of Spanish

Literature (4 cr.)



Rationale:



SN 425 Masterpieces of the Golden Age of Spanish Literature4 cr.Offered: FallPrerequisite: SN 300 SN 301 or SN 302 or instructor’s permission.Students examine some of the masterpieces of Spain’s Golden Age literature. The texts studied serve as springboards to consideration of art, culture, language, history and humanity. They will learn about historical, political, economic, social and cultural contexts of societies that produced the texts and will improve their abilities to critically read and analyze literary works.


b. SN 428: 20th Century Literature of Spain (4 cr.)

Rationale:

FR 428, SN 428 and SN 429 have focused on 20th Century literature from France, Spain, and Spanish America. Now that we are more than a decade into the 21st century and excellent literature has been written this century, we want to utilize some more recent texts in these classes, so we propose that the descriptions reflect that.


SN 428 20th Century Literature of Spain Spanish Literature since 19004 cr.Offered: OccasionallyPrerequisite: SN 300 SN 301 or SN 302 or instructor’s permission.Students examine 20th and 21st century works from Spain. An examination of some of the masterpieces of Spain’s 20th-century literature. The texts studied serve as springboards to consideration of art, culture, language, history and humanity. They will learn about historical, political, economic, social and cultural contexts of societies that produced the texts and will improve their abilities to critically read and analyze literary works.


c. SN 429: 20th Century Literature of Spanish America (4 cr.)



Rationale:

FR 428, SN 428 and SN 429 have focused on 20th Century literature from France, Spain, and Spanish America. Now that we are more than a decade into the 21st century and excellent literature has been written this century, we want to utilize some more recent texts in these classes, so we propose that the descriptions reflect that.


SN 429 20th Century Literature of Spanish America Spanish American Lit since 19004 cr.Offered: OccasionallyPrerequisite: SN 300 SN 301 or SN 302 or instructor’s permission.Students examine 20th and 21st century works from some of the masterpieces of Spanish America’s 20th-century literature. The texts studied serve as springboards to consideration of art, culture, language, history and humanity. They will learn about historical, political, economic, social and cultural contexts of societies that produced the texts and will improve their abilities to critically read and analyze literary works.


11. Change Prerequisites to Coursesa. SN 310: Introduction to Spanish Civilization and

Culture (4 cr.)

Rationale:

Prerequisites need to reflect the deletion of SN 300 and the additions of SN 301 and SN 302.


SN 310 Introduction to Spanish Civilization and Culture4 cr.Offered: Winter

Applies toward the division II liberal studies requirement.Applies toward the upper division liberal studies requirement.

Prerequisite: SN 300 SN 301 or SN 302 or instructor’s permission.This course is a multidisciplinary introduction to the culture and civilization of Spain.

It offers a comprehensive view of the historical, geographical, political and economic factors that have helped shape today’s Spanish American societies and the cultural expressions which have resulted.Note: SN 312 is taught in Spanish.


c. SN 495: Special Topics in Spanish (1-4 cr.)

Rationale:



SN 495 Special Topics in Spanish1-4 cr.Offered: FallPrerequisite: SN 300 SN 301 or SN 302 or instructor’s permission.This is an experimental course based on linguistics, cultures, authors, genres or literary periods not covered in other regularly approved Spanish courses.Note: May be repeated for credit if topic varies.


12. Revise Spanish Education Majora. Replace SN 300 with SN 301 (4 cr.)b. Replace SN 305 with SN 302 (4 cr.)c. Replace SN 400 with SN 315 (4 cr.)

Rationale:



Due to the deletions of SN 300, SN 305, and SN 400, the curriculum needs to reflect the additions of SN 301, SN 302, and SN 315. For more explanation of why the courses were deleted, see section iii: 1, 2, & 3.



13. Revise Spanish Majora. Replace SN 300 with SN 301 (4 cr.)b. Replace SN 305 with SN 302 (4 cr.)c. Replace SN 400 with SN 315 (4 cr.)

Rationale:




14. Revise Elementary Education Spanish Minora. Require LG 250: Overview of Linguistics (2 cr.)

Rationale:

The Michigan State Board of Education is requiring LG 250 for the Elementary Education Spanish minor.

iv. Revise German Curriculum1. Delete GR 300: Reading and Writing (4 cr.)2. Delete GR 305: Conversation (4 cr.)3. Delete GR 400: Advanced German Composition and Grammar

(4 cr.)

Rationale:

Currently, students majoring in German proceed directly from GR 202 (Intermediate German II) to the current GR 300 (Reading and Writing). This presents great difficulty, for students and faculty, for several reasons. First, upon completion of GR 202, students are unprepared for tackling elevated primary readings in German. They still have not been exposed to all the basic facets of German grammar and language structure, and their control of the four modalities



(reading, writing, speaking, and listening) is limited. Simply put, the vast majority of our students need further instruction, critique, and support to advance their proficiency in the four modalities.

Most universities have a third-year sequence of advanced language courses that parallels the elementary and intermediate language sequence. If our proposal is approved, our students will have the benefit of this third year of integrated language study, which will increase their German skills in general, and will help them enjoy and perform well in our 300-and 400-level literature and culture courses.



4. Create GR 301: Advanced German I (4 cr.)

Rationale:

The current third-year German course offerings at NMU are divided in a manner which is no longer consistent with modern teaching practices. The proposed German 301 course (and its partner course German 302) would integrate basic content of three existing courses (German 300: German Reading and Writing; German 305: Conversational German; German 400: Advanced German Grammar and Composition) in order to develop all four language learning skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening) as an organic whole. The new numbering of the courses (301 and 302) would align these two courses with the first year (101 and 102) and second year (201 and 202) offerings in our program.


GR 301: Advanced German I4 cr.Prerequisite: GR 202 or equivalentApplies toward the division V liberal studies requirement.Applies toward the upper division liberal studies requirement.The aim of this course is to become comfortable in spoken and written German through an understanding of the culture of Germany and German-speaking countries, intending to develop students’ language abilities at the advanced level, but integrate all language skills in its approach.

Effect on Departments: MLL will need to seek Liberal Studies approval for Liberal Studies credit.




5. Create GR 302: Advanced German II (4 cr.)

Rationale:

The current third-year German course offerings at NMU are divided in a manner which is no longer consistent with modern teaching practices. The proposed German 301 course (and its partner course German 302) would integrate basic content of three existing courses (German 300: German Reading and Writing; German 305: Conversational German; German 400: Advanced German Grammar and Composition) in order to develop all four language learning skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening) as an organic whole. The new numbering of the courses (301 and 302) would align these two courses with the first year (101 and 102) and second year (201 and 202) offerings in our program.


GR 302: Advanced German II4 cr.Prerequisite: German 301 or equivalentApplies toward the division V liberal studies requirement.Applies toward the upper division liberal studies requirement.Continues to develop the language skills acquired in German 301. Students will work with authentic German materials in a variety of media and genres to enhance the four language skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening.

Effect on Departments: MLL will need to seek approval for GR 302 from the Liberal Studies Committee for Liberal Studies credit.


6. Change Prerequisites to Coursesa. GR 312: Contemporary German-Speaking Cultures (4

cr.)

Rationale:

Prerequisites need to reflect the deletion of GR 300 and the additions of GR 301 and GR 302.


GR 312 Contemporary German-Speaking Cultures4 cr.Offered: Fall, WinterPrerequisite: GR 300. GR 301 or GR 302A survey of the major movements, figures, and cultural shifts of twentieth and twenty-first century social and political systems, religious orientations, and the arts in the German-speaking countries.



Note: GR 312 is taught in German.


b. GR 320: Great Works in German Literature (4 cr.)

Rationale:



GR 320 Great Works in German Literature4 cr.Offered: Fall, WinterPrerequisite: GR 300. GR 301 or GR 302This survey course offers selections of renowned German, Austrian, and Swiss literary texts in their cultural and historical contexts. The selections represent multiple genres and literary movements from Medieval to Modernity.Note: GR 320 is taught in German.


c. GR 415: German for Business (4 cr.)

Rationale:



GR 415 German for Business4 cr.Offered: WinterPrerequisite: GR 300. GR 301 or GR 302An introduction to effective communication in the world of German business transactions, including the vocabulary and kinds of language typically encountered in the workplace in German-speaking countries.Note: GR 415 is taught in German.


d. GR 495: Special Topics in German (1-4 cr.)

Rationale:





GR 495 Special Topics in German1-4 cr.Offered: On demandPrerequisite: Junior standing, instructor and department head permission. GR 301 or GR 302This is an experimental course based on topics of authors, genres or literature periods not covered in other regularly approved German courses.Note: May be repeated for credit if topic varies.


7. Revise German Studies Majora. Replace GR 300 with GR 301 (4 cr.)b. Replace GR 305 with GR 302 (4 cr.)

Rationale:

Due to the deletions of GR 300, GR 305, and GR 400, the curriculum needs to reflect the additions of GR 301 and GR 302. For more explanation of why the courses were deleted, see section iv: 1, 2, & 3.



8. Revise German Minora. Replace GR 300 with GR 301 (4 cr.)b. Replace GR 305 with GR 302 (4 cr.)

Rationale:




c. Increase Credits for German Electives 300 or 400 from 4 to 8

Rationale:

This proposal adds 4 credits to the German minor, which has not been scrutinized as a program for many years. Our outcomes assessments for German minors have revealed that our current program does not allow our graduates to use German at the proficiency level we believe they



should achieve. The additional engagement with the language will strengthen our program and raise our students’ proficiency.



9. Revise Elementary Education German Minora. Require LG 250: Overview of Linguistics (2 cr.)

Rationale:

The Michigan State Board of Education is requiring that we require LG 250 for our Elementary Education German minor.



b. Replace GR 300 with GR 301 (4 cr.)c. Replace GR 305 with GR 302 (4 cr.)

Rationale:




10. Revise Secondary Education German Minora. Replace GR 300 with GR 301 (4 cr.)b. Replace GR 305 with GR 302 (4 cr.)

Rationale:




v. Revise the International Studies Major



1. Revise Description

Rationale:

By revising the description for the International Studies Major, students can get a clearer understanding of their options, including the addition of the Global Concentration and the Non-Regional courses.



2. Create Global Concentration

Rationale:

Currently, electives must be grouped together in Regional Concentrations. We propose creating a Global option. The electives in this option must include HS 105, and the remaining courses can come from any of the electives in the concentration or other courses approved by Modern Languages and Literatures. Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix D


3. Create an Asian Concentration

Rationale:

When the current International Studies major was approved, the Asian Concentration was not passed. We have now adapted our proposal and are resubmitting it. We feel it is a disservice to our students to offer an International Studies major with concentrations in various world regions, but not offer a concentration on the world’s largest region. This is particularly galling because NMU has a number of ties to Asia—we have sent students in recent years to study in India, China, Japan, Thailand, Viet Nam and Korea. NMU has signed agreements to cooperate with various universities in these countries. We find it lamentable that the Asian history position was not filled, leaving some of the classes on this list in a state of flux. However, even if the History classes are not offered, NMU offers sufficient classes for this concentration to be not just viable but strong, especially because students in this concentration will study abroad in Asia. (But let there be no misunderstanding: having classes in Asian history would make this concentration even stronger.)





6. Department of Sociology and Social Worki. Revise Department/Program Policies

1. Establish minimum 2.0 GPA for Sociology Major

Rationale:

At present, a student can complete the required 20 credit hours for the Sociology minor with no minimum GPA. This failure to establish a minimum of 2.00 GPA appears to have been an oversight – one it is time to correct. Such a minimum requirement is consistent with most other minors on campus, and is certainly in line with our expectations for student performance.



2. Establish minimum 2.0 GPA for Anthropology Minor

Rationale:

At present, a student can complete the required 20 credit hours for the Anthropology minor with no minimum GPA. Given the recent reestablishment of the Anthropology minor, it is appropriate to require a minimum standard.



ii. Eliminate Courses1. SO 251: Sport in American Society (2 cr.)

Rationale:

Although this course holds great potential in terms of student interest, we no longer have a person on staff who can teach it with regularity. We could, however, offer it as a special topic course in the future, should circumstances be favorable.

Effect on Departments: This course is listed as ENSP elective (CAPS didn’t respond when the proposal was sent out to Deans and Department Heads) and Liberal Studies Elective. Sociology and Social Work says they will contact the Liberal Studies Committee.


2. SO 332: Study of Population (4 cr.)

Rationale:



This course has not been taught in years since the departure of a faculty member. The current staff does not have expertise in this topical area, with no chance it will be taught any time soon.

Effect on Departments: This course is listed as an option for the Liberal Studies Major; however, this course has been suspended for three Bulletins. Diane Sautter Cole, the advisor, has already been notified.


iii. Dismantle Split Course AN/SO 382: Health, Society, and Culture (4 cr.) into Two Separate Courses

Rationale:

Currently, the course AN/SO382, Health, Society, and Culture is cross listed; students can receive 4 credits either in Sociology or Anthropology. Historically, this course has been taught either by a Sociologist or an Anthropologist. At present, two faculty members are qualified to teach the course (one Anthropologist and one Sociologist), though from very different fields of professional expertise. That said, the contemporary disciplinary distinctions between the Anthropological and Sociological approaches to the study of medicine necessitate splitting this course consistent with best practices.



1. Create SO 382: Health, Society, and Culture (4 cr.)

Rationale:

SO 382 will keep the name of the course due to the fact that SO 382 is a listed requirement for the Gerontology minor.


SO 382: Health, Society and Culture4 cr.Offered: Winter semester of odd-numbered yearsPrerequisite: SO 101 or AN 100 or instructor's permission.Analysis of behavioral science dimensions of health systems and health institutions at regional, national and global scales, with emphasis on the United States. Discussion includes health and disease and social and cultural factors relating to the occurrence and distribution of disease. American medical systems and institutions are analyzed in comparison with medical systems in other societies.Note: Cross listed as AN 382.



2. Create AN 383: Medical Anthropology: Pluralistic Systems of Health Culture (4 cr.)

Rationale:

Due to the fact that the Anthropology minor only requires 12 AN designated credits for the minor, it made sense to provide the new title to this course.


AN 383: Medical Anthropology: Pluralistic Systems of Health Care4 cr.Offered: Winter semester of odd-numbered yearsPrerequisite: AN 100 or instructor's permission.Analysis of behavioral science dimensions of health systems and institutions at regional, national and global scales. Discussion includes social and cultural factors relating to health, occurrence and distribution of disease. Cross cultural analysis of biomedicine and societal medical systems.



iv. Change Course Number of SO 473: Juvenile Delinquency to SO 373: Juvenile Delinquency and Prerequisite

Rationale:

Throughout the profession, this course nearly always is designated at a lower level. There appears to be no clear rationale to maintain the current numerical designation in terms of the course content.


SO 473 373 Juvenile Delinquency4 cr.Offered: Every other winterPrerequisite: SO 263 SO 101, junior standing or instructor's permission.Taught as a seminar. The nature, extent, causes and societal reaction to juvenile delinquency. Emphasis is placed on selected theories and methods for studying delinquency. the systematic analysis of juvenile offenders and the juvenile justice system. This is an advanced course for students who have a special interest in delinquency. Topics include: Juvenile court history and functions, impact of families, schools and the economy of delinquency, youth subculture and gangs.

Effect on Departments: Sociology and Social Work says they will notify the Graduate Committee.




v. Revise Course Description for AN 101: Introduction to Physical Anthropology and Archaeology (4 cr.)

Rationale:

The changes to the course description represent editorial changes.


AN 101 Introduction to Physical Anthropology and Archaeology4 cr.Offered: Contact department for informationAn introduction to current evidence for human evolution. The fossil record, genetics, primate studies and archaeological evidence are interrelated to provide a complete understanding of our present status as Homo sapiens. Introduces current evidence for bio-cultural human evolution. Fossil record, heredity, genetics, primate studies, human variation and adaptation, and archaeological evidence of domesticates and social complexity are interrelated to provide an understanding of our present status as Homo sapiens.



7. Department of Speech-Language Hearing Sciencesi. Revise Course Description for SL 160: Anatomy of the Speech and

Hearing Mechanism (4 cr.)

Rationale:

The goal is to have the course designation in the bulletin (4 credit 3-0-2) changed in order to reflect the manner of course delivery in recent years (4 credit) and address the inconsistencies between formal course designations in the bulletin and what has been the common practice in our program. We have found that this blend of lecture and hands-on activities has been a successful means of delivering course content to our students, without the need for having separate lab sections added for these courses.


SL 160: Anatomy of the Speech and Hearing Mechanism4 cr. (3-0-2)Offered: FallStudy of the anatomical structures and the physiological function of the head, neck and thorax and their relationship to speech and voice production. Laboratory.



Effect on Departments:: None


ii. Revise Course Description SL 220: Speech and Voice Science (4 cr.)

Rationale:

The goal is to have the course designation in the bulletin (4 credit 3-0-2) changed in order to reflect the manner of course delivery in recent years (4 credit) and address the inconsistencies between formal course designations in the bulletin and what has been the common practice in our program. We have found that this blend of lecture and hands-on activities has been a successful means of delivering course content to our students, without the need for having separate lab sections added for these courses.


SL 220 Speech and Voice Science4 cr. (3-0-2)Offered: WinterPrerequisite: SL 150, SL 160 and SL 200.Study of the anatomy, physiology and acoustics in the production of perception of speech. Discussion of the normal parameters of voice. Introduction to the nature of voice disorders. Laboratory.



iii. Revise Course Description SL 351: Introduction to Audiology (4 cr.)

Rationale:

The goal is to have the course designation in the bulletin (4 credit 3-0-2) changed in order to reflect the manner of course delivery in recent years (4 credit) and address the inconsistencies between formal course designations in the bulletin and what has been the common practice in our program. We have found that this blend of lecture and hands-on activities has been a successful means of delivering course content to our students, without the need for having separate lab sections added for these courses. The change in when the course is offered reflects the scheduling needs between the SL 351 and SL 357 course, mentioned in iv below.


SL 351 Introduction to Audiology



4 cr. (3-0-2)Offered: Winter FallPrerequisite: SL150, SL 160, PH101 or PH102 The basic physics of sound, anatomy and physiology of the ear, pure tone testing and pathologies of the hearing mechanism. Laboratory.



iv. Revise Course Description SL 357: Fluency Disorders (4 cr.)

Rationale:

The only change for the SL 357 is to move the semester the course will be offered. Changing the semesters in which SL 351 and SL357 are offered will allow for more flexible scheduling and potentially safer travel for the accredited Audiologist who needs to commute to teach SL 351.


SL 357 Fluency Disorders4 cr.Offered: Fall WinterPrerequisite: SL 150 or instructor's permission.Study of normal dysfluency, stuttering, and cluttering. The development, measurement, and treatment of stuttering are emphasized.



8. School of Educationi. Eliminate Programs for Certification in Elementary Education

1. English Major2. English Minor3. Social Studies Minor

Rationale: The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) has decided to eliminate from its teacher certification programs around the State both the major and minor in English and the minor in Social Studies. The NMU School of Education was first notified of this change in an email from Thomas Bell (MDE) June 1, 2011.



Effect on Departments: The English Department is currently working with the School of Education to prepare changes to the Language Arts Elementary Programs involving English.

International Studies Major

This major gives students a broad view of the world with an emphasis on developing regions. The core ensures that students have broad exposure to major world religions, international politics and government, recent global history and relationships between geography, culture, arts and society. This major is a good point of departure for pursuing an international-related master’s degree and/or many careers, including international business, diplomacy and fields related to human development.

Please note that in addition to the course requirements listed below, International Studies majors must also meet the following requirements:

OTHER REQUIRMENTS:

1. Study AbroadInternational Studies majors must have a study abroad experience, normally in a non-English



speaking country, for at least 12 weeks, including a minimum of nine weeks of study through an approved college-level institution. Many of the credits earned can be applied to the major. Students who attended high school in another country may petition the international studies advisory committee for exemption from the requirement for study abroad.

2. Language ProficiencyInternational studies majors must demonstrate proficiency in a language other than English at the 202 level or higher. This can be accomplished by completing a 202 (or 300 or higher) course in a language or by verification through the Modern Languages and Literatures Department (i.e. determined by examination or through some other means of confirming proficiency).

3. Program ApprovalA program approval for international studies majors must be prepared and approved by an academic advisor from the Modern Languages and Literatures Department and a copy forwarded to Degree Evaluations in the Registrar’s Office.
