7. Explanation of the Change:

Based on input from advisory board members, it was decided to add some advanced software

applications and a networking course to the core for the IS degree. This reduced the general

electives from 12 to 6 credits. Additional courses were added to the choices for the program

electives to allow for students to utilize related coursework from other specializations and/or

from a different computer major. Also based on input from advisory board members, it was

decided to make object-oriented design a required course in the specialization and move

discrete math to a choice in the major electives. The name of this specialization was changed

to Application Development.

7. Explanation of the Change:

Dakota State University recognizes that our strength in computation and technology offers a

unique opportunity to leverage the development of a similar program in the physical sciences.

Given the dizzying pace of evolution in both technologies and research methodologies, graduates

with strong skill sets in both data sciences/analytics and the physical and life sciences will be in a

unique position to enable advancements across multiple disciplines and workforce sectors.

Development of such interdisciplinary skill sets will be a key outcome of this program.

In support of the proposed change, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has included

data-intensive scientific research as a core component of its new“10 Big Ideas” funding

initiatives for the coming decade (Harnessing the Data Revolution;

https://tinyurl.com/yaagcuyc). NSF’s commitment to allocating significant funding to data-

intensive scientific research proposals is further demonstrated in a recent call for participation in

their “Innovation Labs” workshops designed to bring together data scientists and physical

scientists to forge new collaborative frontiers at the intersections of the data and

physical sciences (https://tinyurl.com/ycwnjyfl). Such initiatives at the largest basic

science funding agency provides ample justification for an Analytical Science degree program at

Dakota State.

Additional rationale for the change is provided in a recent report by the U.S. National Academies

of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (https://tinyurl.com/y9lxdjtx). Therein it is

recommended that more undergraduate data/analytical science programs be created to keep pace

with rapidly growing demand for data scientists with physical science competencies who can

work effectively across multiple data- and science-intensive disciplines in all sectors of the U.S.

economy. Still more justification is provided in a recent assessment by the United Kingdom’s

Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) – a collaborative funding partner

with the U.S. NSF and Departments of Defense (DOD) and Energy (DOE) – in which they report

a critical shortage of analytical science expertise in the UK workforce. Their summary report

concluded: “The critical value of Analytical Sciences lies in its ability to enable scientific

advances across multiple disciplines. Analytical sciences research is relevant to a very broad

range of disciplines, creating research outputs that will be relevant to multiple areas. The

Page 11: Institutional Substantive Program Modification Requests · Program Forms, Substantive Program Modification Form (last revised 08/2016) Page 4 of 5 CIS 498 UG Research/ Scholarship

Program Forms, Substantive Program Modification Form (last revised 08/2016)

Page 5 of 5

potential for cross-disciplinary relevance should be fostered in ordered to achieve added value

from one research idea.”

Aligned with these compelling national and international recommendations and driven by the

demands of swiftly changing global economies, coursework will focus on contemporary

computational and analytical methods and their applications to solving problems at the forefront

of the chemical, physical, and biological sciences. In pursuit of this aim, substantial analytical

statistics and scientific methods development components will be integrated into all courses,

ensuring graduates are optimally prepared and maximally competitive for professional and post-

graduate study opportunities in all sectors of the global economy informed by the data and

physical sciences.

Finally, the proposed modification is logistically simple and cost-effective, requiring minimal

curricular changes, no new courses, and no new full-time faculty.

7. Explanation of the Change:

A small online study was conducted of open positions in Health Information Management

departments with responsibilities for release of information to identify the common titles being

utilized in the market. This change will align the title of the certificate program with position

titles for release of information commonly found in the study.

HIM 170 Legal Aspects of Health Information Management is being separated into two courses,

HIM 169 and HIM 170. Both will be required for this certificate program.

The content included in HIM 225 is not an essential requirement for performing the duties

envisioned in the specialist certificate since electronic health records are introduced in HIM 150-

Introduction to Health Information Management.

The healthcare coding certificate program was designed to be completed in one year. DSU’s

requirement for biology prevents completion of the certificate program within one year.

Eliminating content in HIM 170 that is not essential for coders will allow full time students to

complete the coding certificate program in one year, as originally planned. Three existing courses

will be added to the summer rotation to complete the change. The coding certificate program

will be marketed and offered as a full time online option. Students interested in completing

coding on a part time basis will be advised to complete the Associate of Science degree in Health

Information Technology concurrently with the coding certificate program.

The requirements for HIM 225 are being removed from the certificate program as the content is

not required and will help in meeting the goal of offering this certificate program in one year.
