Curriculum and Academic Policy Council MinutesFebruary 24, 2004

Members: Joan Bass; Chris Coleman; Diane Burns; Becky Gmeiner; Rhonda McLain; Antionette Miller; George Nakos; Adel Novin; and Kim Robinson.

Non-members: Cathie Aust; Ginny Bass; Larry Booth; Richard Clendenning; Benita Moore; Bill Pasch; and Tammy Wilson.

1. Approved minutes of February 10 meeting.

2. From the Department of Humanities: Pasch explained proposed changes (see below). Robinson motioned, Coleman seconded, and committee approved changes. Approved as a first and second reading.

In order to prevent any misperception that the General Education Core Curriculum contains an insufficient structure of prerequisites designed to enhance student progress beyond the first semester of that curriculum, the Department of Humanities proposes that a prerequisite of ENGL 1101 (C) be added to the following courses offered by the department as applicable to Area C.1 of the General Education Core:

ENGL 2111 World Literature I – Pre-ModernENGL 2112 World Literature II –Modern WorldENGL 2130 American LiteraturePHIL 2201 Introduction to World Philosophy

Additionally, even though not currently applicable to Area C.1, the following courses are sufficiently similar to those listed above to warrant adding the ENGL 1101 (C) prerequisite as well:

ENGL 2121 British Literature IENGL 2122 British Literature II

It is further proposed that the catalog listing for all of the above courses add the recommendation(but not requirement) of ENGL 1102 (C).

The above changes are recommended to take effect in the 2004-2005 catalog.

Additional Notes and Clarifications

While foreign language courses numbered 2001 and 2002 are also applicable to Area C, the prerequisite of ENGL 1101 (C) is not being requested for these courses, given the restrictive sequencing of prerequisites in the respective languages; furthermore, insufficiency of resources severely limits the number of foreign language courses available in any given semester, thus restricting access to particular courses in the sequence for students who need to “time” their completion of foreign language courses carefully in order to meet requirements for their degrees, either in Area C or in other areas. The addition of the ENGL 1101 (C) prerequisite would further and unnecessarily complicate this timing for students who need foreign language courses.

To continue to enhance the opportunity for first-semester students at CCSU to build suitable full-time class schedules, no change is being proposed in the prerequisite structure for courses applicable to Area C.2 (e.g., ART 2301/2302, CMS 2100, MUSC 2101, THEA 1100, etc.).

3. CCSU Policy on Minors: Motion was made to accept the Format for Undergraduate Minor Proposal Form by McLain, seconded by Novin, and approved by committee (see form below).

4-7 From the School of Technology: Bass explained the proposed changes to the Paralegal Program. A motion to approve 4-7 as a package was made by Robinson, seconded by Novin to approve as a first and second reading. The committee approved changes.

We propose to revise the Paralegal Certificate and the Paralegal Studies A.A.S. degree to build upon curriculum improvements that were implemented in last year’s catalog. These proposed changes will not alter the total number of credit hours required for completion of each program.

Below are bullet points to summarize the proposed changes.

Course Descriptions and Course Names

Implement two new elective courses, PARA 2103 “Advanced Civil Litigation” and PARA 2105 “Advanced Legal Research” (course approval pending CAPC approval). Both of these courses will build on the required PARA courses and will allow interested students to specialize their studies. Both classes emphasize skills that are much sought after in larger law firms which work in more sophisticated areas of the law. In addition, we have recently removed two electives. (PARA 2333 - Special Topics was deleted and PARA 1225 - Family Law was made a required course.) Thus, we need additional electives for our growing student population.

Paralegal Studies A.A.S. Curriculum

Add PARA 2103 (Advanced Civil Litigation) and PARA 2105 (Advanced Legal Research) to the list of electives.

Paralegal Certificate Curriculum

Add PARA 2103 (Advanced Civil Litigation) and PARA 2105 (Advanced Legal Research) to the list of electives.

Why is the course needed at CCSU?With the growth of the Paralegal Studies program, there is a need for additional electives. This course will allow our students interested in Civil Litigation to study the subject in more detail. In particular, this course will emphasize litigation practices of large firms dealing with complex litigation. 3. What similar courses (models) at other institutions have helped guide this proposal?We looked at the Model Syllabi of the American Association for Paralegal Education (AAfPE) and the syllabus of a similar class offered at The National Center for Paralegal Training.4. Why are the restrictions needed? (prerequisites, corequisites, etc.)In order to better understand complex litigation, a student needs a solid foundation in the basics of torts, contracts, legal ethics, litigation, business organizations and legal research. 5. What impact will the addition of this course have on other courses or other programs at CCSU?None.

Part C. Course Content 1. What learning outcomes for the major (or Core) will the course address?This is a program specific course.

2. Title: Advanced Legal Research

3. Restrictions (if any):

a. prerequisite(s): PARA 1101, 1103, 1105, 1109 and 6 semester hours of ENGLb. corequisite(s): nonec. other restrictions: noned. other comments: none


This hands-on course will allow students to use the skills acquired in PARA 1105 to prepare and review more sophisticated and complex legal documents. Students will gain additional expertise in electronic legal research. This course will require extensive out-of-class library and research time.

5. Semester of Implementation:Spring 2005

Part B. Justification

1. Where will the course fit in the curriculum and what students are likely to take it?

This course will be an elective in the Paralegal Studies Program and will be available to students in both the Certificate and A.A.S. programs. Students with an interest in ultimately attending law school would be attracted to this class as would other Paralegal Studies students who wish to hone their research and writing skills.

2. Why is the course needed at CCSU?

With the growth of the Paralegal Studies program, there is a need for additional electives. This course will also be necessary should the Paralegal Studies program propose a Bachelor’s Degree option.

3. What similar courses (models) at other institutions have helped guide this proposal?

We looked the Model Syllabi of the American Association for Paralegal Education (AAfPE).

4. Why are the restrictions needed? (prerequisites, corequisites, etc.)

PARA 1101, 1103, 1105 and 1109 are necessary prerequisites because they provide the student the necessary foundation of the court system, litigation, commercial transactions and legal research needed to comprehend the concepts contained with complex legal documents. Six semester hours of ENG is necessary because students in this course will be required to prepare and comprehend documents containing sophisticated language and issues.

5. What impact will the addition of this course have on other courses or other programs at CCSU?

None.

Part C. Course Content

1. What learning outcomes for the major (or Core) will the course address?

This is a program-specific course. It will address the legal and communication skills necessary to prepare and review sophisticated legal documents.

8. School of Technology: A motion was made by Coleman, seconded by McLain, and approved by committee to change the block credit as below. The committee approved as a first and second reading.

CAPC Request for Airway Science AAS Justification: Because students who have an FAA Airframe, FAA Powerplant, or FAA Airframe & Powerplant license are allowed course credit for this/these license(s), listing the courses as requested below will be more in line with and more reflective of current practice for these requests. No additional courses will be required to make this change nor will any curriculum be changed.

Change Requested Listed in the catalog (03-04 p. 271) in the Aviation Maintenance Section of the Airway Science AAS, please change item B from AVMT 2000A Block Credit (32 hours) to AVMT 1101 2-0-2AVMT 1102 3-0-3AVMT 1103 4-6-4AVMT 1104 4-6-5AVMT 2201 4-6-4AVMT 2202 4-6-5AVMT 2203 4-6 5AVMT 2204 4-6-4AVMT 2205 4-6-5AVMT 2211 4-6-4AVMT 2212 4-6-4AVMT 22133 4-6 5AVMT 2214 4-6-5AVMT 2215 4-6-5Note: only 32 hours of AVMT credit will count toward the AAS in Airway Science.

9. School of Music: Wheeler explained the change, Robinson made motion, Novin seconded, and the committee approved as a first and second reading.

Current name: Voice Literature I and II

Proposed name: Art Song Literature I and II

Justification:

Voice Literature may consist of song, oratorio, cantata, or opera literature; however, the published course description for MUSC 3711 and 3712 clearly specifies these courses as art song literature courses. Given the time constraints of one semester per course and in accordance with similar music programs across the country, it is appropriate to limit these courses to art song literature.

The proposed title more accurately reflects the intended content of the course.

10. CIMS. Booth proposed changes to the CSCI 1301 and 1302 courses as per below. This has been in the works and both departments support. McLain motioned that the proposal be accepted, Robinson seconded, and the Committee approved as a first and second.

Propose to make minor changes to the CSCI 1301 and 1302 courses. First we wish to remove references to specific programming languages. This will allow us to use an appropriate language without changing the catalog description.

Second, we wish to reduce the hours for CSCI 1302 to 3 hours (currently it’s 4). This will better match our scheduling blocks and does not impact our ability to cover the material. This change will not affect our compliance with the USG’s adopted Area F in Computer Science.

We have also reviewed the course descriptions and find they accurately represent the recently adopted USG’s outcomes for computer science programming in Area F.

Existing:CSCI 1301 - Computer Science I (3-0-3)

The course includes an overview of computers and programming: problem-solving and algorithm development; simple data types; arithmetic and logical operators; selection structures; repetition structures; text files; arrays (one-and two-dimensional); procedural abstraction and software design; modular programming (including subprograms or the equivalent). A high level programming language (currently C++) will be used.Prerequisite(s): MATH 1101 or higher (or equivalent placement score).

Proposed:CSCI 1301 - Computer Science I (3-0-3)

The course includes an overview of computers and programming: problem-solving and algorithm development; simple data types; arithmetic and logical operators; selection structures; repetition structures; text files; arrays (one-and two-dimensional); procedural abstraction and software design; modular programming (including subprograms or the equivalent). A high level programming language will be used.Prerequisite(s): MATH 1101 or higher (or equivalent placement score).

Existing :CSCI 1302 - Computer Science II (4-0-4)

The course includes an overview of abstract data types (ADTs); arrays (multi-dimensional) and records; sets and strings; binary files; searching and sorting; introductory algorithm analysis (including Big-O); recursion; pointers and linked lists; software engineering concepts; dynamic data structures (stacks, queues, trees). A high level programming language (currently C++) will be used.Prerequisite(s): CSCI 1301.

Proposed:CSCI 1302 - Computer Science II (3-0-3)

The course includes an overview of abstract data types (ADTs); arrays (multi-dimensional) and records; sets and strings; binary files; searching and sorting; introductory algorithm analysis (including Big-O); recursion; pointers and linked lists; software engineering concepts; dynamic data structures (stacks, queues, trees). A high level programming language will be used.Prerequisite(s): CSCI 1301.

11. CIMS. Aust explained the proposed changes to IT program, Robinson motioned, McLain seconded, and the Committee approved the changes as per below as a first and second reading.

The College of Information and Mathematical Sciences recommends the following changes requested by the Department of Information Technology.

1. Eliminate the Certificate of Information Technology (CIT) with the following timetable.

Fall 2004 – last semester that students can declare themselves as CIT students. Spring 2006 – last semester that students can complete CIT requirements and be awarded the CIT.

Rationale: When the degree proposal for the BIT was approved by the Board of Regents, the career ladder structure provided a needed mechanism to move students into IT positions quickly. The field of Information Technology has changed rapidly since 1998. As a result of these changes, the CIT is not a particularly useful credential for those seeking employment in the IT field. In addition, the requirement that all students interested in IT start at the certificate level forces students into a very structured curriculum. By removing the CIT, students will have the full range of AASIT courses open to them, subject to perquisites. Thus, students who are unable to complete some IT perquisites in their first semester and yet desire to be full-time students during their second semester will be able to take additional general education courses while completing IT prerequisites. This flexibility will benefit students.

The retention of the AASIT is planned to serve the needs of those students seeking an initial IT credential before the bachelor’s degree

Timetable issues: Elimination of the CIT will remove students from being able to enter IT with a HOPE grant. This is a major change that must be reflected in all publications and all recruitment activities. During the 2003-2004 year, information available to prospective students has shown the career ladder including the CIT. Thus, we must allow students to enter the CIT in the fall. Since so many of our IT students are non-traditional students taking less than 12 credit hours per semester, we need to allow 2 years for students to complete this one-year certificate.

2. Change from four separate majors in the BIT (General Information Technology – E-commerce emphasis, Database Administration, Information Technology and Security, and Software Development) to four concentrations within a single IT major. The names will remain the same, but structurally they will become concentrations. The major impact of the change will involve how students are coded and reported.

Rationale: The original degree proposal for the BIT listed separate majors, but the particular majors in the list have changed since program inception. Although these options have been denoted as majors, and even have been given separate CIP codes, they actually function as concentrations. All BIT students take a common core of 28 hours of upper division IT courses and then 12 hours specific to the “major.” In most other majors at CCSU, a block or 12 hours within a degree program is structured as a concentration, emphasis, or track. The change to concentrations within a single major of Information Technology will provide a much more accurate reflection of the actual nature of the program and facilitate the continual curriculum change required for a program in this rapidly changing field. Finally, this structure will parallel that is the WebBSIT, which has a single major of Information Technology but provides for concentrations containing 9 semester hours.

Note: The recently approved change to a major in Information Technology and Security will become a concentration in Information Technology and Security.

12-18. Technology: Bass explained changes and a motion was made by Robinson seconded by McLain, and approved by the committee as a first and second reading. Gmeiner reminded committee of the Action Form that is listed on the web for all changes/corrections that need to be made in Banner.

****We propose to revise the Computer Network Administrator certificate, the Computer Network Technician certificate, and the Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in Computer Network Technology to reflect current networking technology and industry standards.

The following bullet points summarize the proposed changes.

Outcomes and Program Requirements

Implement changes to both computer networking certificates and the AAS degree outcomes and requirements. These programs are changing to focus on core networking technologies and prepare students for important industry certifications. This is the first restructuring of the program to occur since its inception in the mid 1990’s.

Add CNET 2102, CNET 2109, CNET 2110, and CNET 2221 to the curriculum. These new required courses provide in-depth coverage of the latest networking technologies.

Course Descriptions, Names, Hours, and Prerequisites

Change attributes of seven existing courses. The names of several classes and their descriptions have been changed to reflect their current content. Several classes are changing hours from 2-2-3 to 3-0-3 since the hands-on portion of the course is integrated with the lecture. Several classes have changes to prerequisites to reflect a new order in which classes will be taken. These courses include:

o CNET 1101 (change of hours, prerequisites)o CNET 1102 (change of name)o CNET 1105 (change of prerequisite)o CNET 1109 (change of name, hours, description, prerequisite)o CNET 1110 (change of name, hours, description)o CNET 1120 (change of description)o CNET 2220 (change of description)

Removal of Classes

Remove CNET 1112 and CNET 2240 from the curriculum. These courses are electives that will no longer be needed in the restructured curriculum.

Programs in Computer networking

TEC-211, 770- 961-3415http://tech.clayton.edu/

Full-Time Faculty: Becsi , Clendenning, Coleman, Farr.

The Computer Networking program offers two certificates that lead to the associate degree (A.A.S.). Computer Networking is about computers communicating with each other, from sending e-mail across the hall or downloading a file from halfway across the world. Students in Computer Networking programs will learn how to set up and manage a computer network, repair computers, back up data, and work with the latest hardware and operating systems. Students in this program will learn how to implement and manage Local Area Networks (LANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs), troubleshoot and repair hardware and software problems, install and configure switches and routers, and administer both Windows and Linux systems. The program prepares students for certification in the following areas: Network+, A+, Cisco CCNA, Microsoft Windows Professional, Microsoft Windows Server, and Linux.

Courses taken in the Computer Networking certificate programs also count toward an Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) in this field. Students in certificate programs in the School of Technology may be eligible for the HOPE Grant even if they have not recently graduated from high school. (High school GPA is not a factor for eligibility for the HOPE Grant.) More details are available from the Office of Financial Aid (770-961-3511). Details about the B.A.S. are available from the department head or dean.

****New Course Proposal Format (new format draft 10-23-01)Dean should forward to AVPAA for review by CAPC

Note: This form not required for each individual course that is included in the comprehensive proposal for a new program


1. Prefix, number, and hours distribution: CNET 2102 3-0-3 (Number subject to Registrar’s approval.)

2. Title: Operating System Technologies

3. Restrictions (if any):a. prerequisite(s): MATH 1101, CNET 1110, CNET 1120b. corequisite(s) (normal or absolute)c. other restrictions: e.g. major, junior standing, permission, etc.d. other comments: e.g. recommended sequencing, career course notice, etc.


Students will learn PC operating system fundamentals including command-line functions and utilities, boot sequences, file systems, installation procedures, and procedures for installing and configuring devices.Students will also learn to troubleshoot and fix common problems using diagnostic utilities, and to configure an operating system to connect to a network. This course is designed to teach the objectives of the A+ OS Technologies exam.

5. Semester of Implementation:

Fall 2004

Part B. Justification.

(OK to respond to each item individually or to combine all items into a blended narrative.)


The course will be required for students earning the Computer Network Technician certificate or the AAS degree in Computer Network Technology. Students who have completed the Computer Network Administrator certificate and who want to continue on towards the Computer Network Technician certificate or the AAS degree will take this course.


The course is needed because networking students need more in-depth instruction in operating system technologies. One of the most widely recognized industry certifications for computer professionals is the A+ Computer Service Technician certification - in fact, it is explicitly required for many jobs and implicitly required for others. This course is designed with the objectives of the A+ Operating System Technologies exam in mind. The complementary course, CNET 2101 PC Hardware, is designed with the objectives of the A+ Core Hardware exam in mind. A+ certification requires passing scores on both exams, and thus with this course we offer students the instruction and hands-on practice needed to earn this important certification. Of course, the certification is important because it contains many foundational concepts and skills important to success as a computer technician, and that success is the ultimate goal of the course.


The course will be similar to CIS 103 Operating Systems Concepts, offered at Gwinnett Technical College, Chattahoochee Technical College, and other technical colleges in Georgia.


The prerequisite of MATH 1101 is needed because the problem-solving skills and some of the math skills that are developed in MATH 1101 will be needed in this course. The prerequisite of CNET 1110 is needed because it will be assumed that the student is already familiar with some operating system fundamentals that are covered in that course. The prerequisite of CNET 1120 is needed because it will be assumed that the student will be familiar with certain networking principles that are covered in that course.


This required course will be replacing another course in the restructuring of the CNET curriculum. Thus the course is not an “additional” course - it is one of several key, integrated components of a restructuring that is seeing more courses being removed from the program than are being added to it. This restructuring is being done to update our curriculum, focus it on core networking technologies and align it with important industry certifications.

There is no known impact on other programs at CCSU.


(OK to respond to items 1-3 individually or to combine them into a blended narrative.)


The course will address the ability to explain basic computer concepts, work with the most prevalent operating systems, install a network operating system, and troubleshoot and correct common PC hardware and software problems.


The textbook that is planned for the course is A+ Guide to Managing & Maintaining Your PC, Comprehensive, Fourth Edition, by Jean Andrews, ISBN: 0-619-18617-8 © 2003


The course will initially be taught on campus in a computer networking lab, but may adapt well to an on-line or hybrid format.



(OK to respond to each item or to combine the items into a blended narrative.)


The course will be taught by existing faculty with existing qualifications.


This course is part of a program restructuring that reduces the total number of courses in the program, so it will not have the effect of creating additional load on faculty resources or affect other courses in any other way.


It is expected to be mostly taught by full-time faculty but may be taught by part-time faculty if the need arises.


No new expenditures will be required - existing lab resources will be able to support the course.

Part E. Enrollment1. estimated number of sections per year: 32. estimated average enrollment per section: 203. estimated total enrollment per year: 604. estimated reduction in enrollment in other courses, if any, as a consequence of new course (explain): 0

This required course is a replacement for an existing course requirement, and thus will not result in a reduction in enrollment in other courses.





2. Title: Microsoft Windows Server II

3. Restrictions (if any):a. prerequisite(s): CNET 2109b. corequisite(s) (normal or absolute)c. other restrictions: e.g. major, junior standing, permission, etc.d. other comments: e.g. recommended sequencing, career course notice, etc.


Students will use current Microsoft server technology to learn to create and manage user, group, and computer accounts, and to manage file and share permissions, hardware devices, disk storage, software and print services. The course will prepare students for Microsoft certification in the current Windows Server operating system.


Fall 2004




The course will be the second of a two-part sequence that will be required for students earning the Computer Network Technician certificate or the AAS degree in Computer Network Technology. As such, students are

expected to take it immediately following the first of the two-part sequence, CNET 2109.


The course is needed because networking students need more hands-on instruction in Windows technology than is currently offered. The course is designed to prepare students for Microsoft MCSA exam 70-290: Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment, which earns students MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional) status and is a step towards MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) certification.


The course will be similar to CIS 2150 Implementing Microsoft Windows Server, offered at Gwinnett Technical College, Chattahoochee Technical College, and other technical colleges in Georgia.


The prerequisite of CNET 2109 is needed because it contains concepts and provides students with skills that will be assumed when covering the material in CNET 2110.







The course will address the ability to install, configure, and administer a Network Operating System (NOS), and the implementation and administration of a local area network (LAN).


The textbook that is planned for the course is Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment, Microsoft Press, ISBN 0-7356-1437-7. The textbook, which consists mainly of hands-on lessons, will be used with Windows Server 2003 software in a computer lab environment.


The course will initially be taught on campus in a computer networking lab, but it may be easily adapted to on-line or hybrid format.

The course will be the first of a two-part sequence that will be required for students earning the Computer Network Technician certificate or the AAS degree in Computer Network Technology. Students who have completed the Computer Network Administrator certificate and who want to continue on will take this course in their first or second semester of enrollment in the Computer Network Technician certificate program.


The course is needed because networking students need more hands-on instruction in Windows technology than is currently offered. The course is designed to prepare students for Microsoft MCSA exam 70-270: Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Windows XP Professional, which earns students MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional) status and is a step towards MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) certification.


The course will be similar to CIS 2149 Implementing Microsoft Windows Professional, offered at Gwinnett Technical College, Chattahoochee Technical College, and other technical colleges in Georgia.


The prerequisite of MATH 1101 is needed because the problem-solving skills and some of the math skills that are developed in MATH 1101 will be needed in this course. The prerequisite of CNET 1110 is needed because it will be assumed that the student is already familiar with certain Windows networking and XP concepts that are taught in CNET 1110, such as Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, and others.







The course will address the ability to install, configure, and administer a Network Operating System (NOS), and the implementation and administration of a local area network (LAN).


The textbook that is planned for the course is MCSE Training Kit: Microsoft Windows XP Professional (Exam 70-270), Microsoft Press, ISBN 0-7356-1429-6. The textbook, which consists mainly of hands-on lessons, will be used with Windows XP Professional software in a computer lab environment.


The course will initially be taught on campus in a computer networking lab, but since the course is mostly hands-on and most any PC can be used for installation and administration of Windows XP Professional, in the future the course may do well if taught in a on-line or hybrid format.


















2. Title: WAN Design

3. Restrictions (if any):a. prerequisite(s): MATH 1101, CNET 2220b. corequisite(s) (normal or absolute)c. other restrictions: e.g. major, junior standing, permission, etc.d. other comments: e.g. recommended sequencing, career course notice, etc.


In this hands-on course, students will learn a number of important technologies related to routers and will learn to configure routers to support those technologies. Topics include route summarization, VLSM, classless routing,

NAT, ICMP, PPP, ISDN, frame relay, and network security. This course is the concluding course in a series of courses leading to Cisco CCNA certification.


Fall 2004




The course will be the second of a two-part sequence that will be required for students earning the Computer Network Technician certificate or the AAS degree in Computer Network Technology. Students who have completed the Computer Network Administrator certificate and who want to continue on will take this course following the first course in the sequence (CNET 2220).


The course is needed because networking students need more hands-on instruction in Cisco technology than is currently offered. The course is designed to prepare students for Cisco CCNA certification, one of the leading networking certifications.


The course will be similar to CIS 277 WAN Design, offered at Gwinnett Technical College, Chattahoochee Technical College, and other technical colleges in Georgia.


The prerequisite of MATH 1101 is needed because the problem-solving skills and some of the math skills that are developed in MATH 1101 will be needed in this course. The prerequisite of CNET 2220 is needed because it will be assumed that the student is already familiar with certain Cisco LAN and WAN concepts that are taught in CNET 2220.







The course will address the ability to administer a computer network, troubleshoot and correct network problems, explain routing protocols and network security basics, and to configure routers.


The textbook that is planned for the course is CCNA ICND Exam Certification Guide, Cisco Press, ISBN 1-58720-083-X. The textbook will be used with PCs, switches and routers in a computer lab environment and students will work through exercises that are in the textbook.


The course will initially be taught on campus in a computer networking lab, but may adapt well to an on-line or hybrid format.














19. Health Sciences: McLain explained the changes. A motion was made by Novin, seconded by Bass, and aprpoved by the committee as a first and second reading.

The faculty of the Department of Nursing has reviewed and recommends five course prerequisite additions and one offering deletion. We recommend their approval to CAPC.

Pre and Co-requisites recommendations:

NURS 3101 – Professional IssuesPrerequisites: Admission to nursing program

a. Request admission to the RN to BSN completion program prior to enrolling in this first major course.

b. Rationale: This course is the first major course for RN’s. Many RN students have completed the upper division nursing major courses prior to completing the core. Students need the foundation of core requirements prior to enrolling in the first major course.

NURS 4100 – Nursing ResearchPrerequisites: MATH 1231 or HSCI 2201; NURS 3101Co-requisites: NURS 3101 Request that statistics continues as the pre requisite. In addition, the first RN to BSN major course, Professional Issues (NURS 3101) must be taken prior to or concurrent with Nursing Research.

a. Rationale: The foundational course is the framework for additional courses in the RN to BSN Completion Program.

NURS 4501 – Clinical Practicum for RNsPrerequisites: NURS 3101; NURS 3110; NURS 3201/3202Request the first major course for RN’s (NURS 3101), the communication course (NURS 3110) and Health Assessment (NURS 3201/3202) be taken as foundational requirements prior to a clinical practicum.

a. Rationale: The practicum is designed to build on existing clinical experience, broaden exposure to specialty areas and to apply theory learned in the BSN curriculum. Enrollment into the course prior to baccalaureate level theoretical offerings negate the intent of the practicum experience.

NURS 4502 – Clinical Practicum for RNsPrerequisites: NURS 4501; NURS 4601Co requisites: NURS 4601

a. Request the second practicum for RN to BSN students (4502) take place after or concurrently with Organization Transitions (NURS 4601).

b. Rationale: The theory learned is intended to be applied during the final practicum experience.

NURS 4601 – Organizational Transitions Prerequisites: NURS 3101; NURS 3310 and NURS 4100 for RNsPrerequisites: Generic NURS 3110; NURS 4100; 4301/4301L; NURS 4201/4201L

a. Request that RN students complete the first major course (NURS 3101) and generic students are at the senior level prior to taking this course.

b. Rationale: Course is designed to examine leadership and management theory as they apply in health care settings. Competencies in basic principles of nursing is required.

NURS 4999/HSCI 4999 Informatics Practicuma. Request that this course be deleted from course offerings. b. Rationale: The certificate in Nursing/Health Care Informatics is no longer offered. (Students may

still take HSCI/ NURS 4996, 4997 and 4998 as elective offerings).
