PART A: ACADEMIC MATTERS Section AI: Special Actions A1. 1. Departmental Name Change Effective immediately, the Department of Speech Communication & Theatre Arts will change its name to the Department of Communication, Theatre, & Media Production. No faculty members will be transferred or otherwise affected. Rationale: In the past few years, the department has added two additional programs (A.A. in Liberal Arts with a Concentration in Speech Communication and an A.S. in Film & Media Production) along with the courses required for those programs. The change in title will provide greater transparency for students and accreditors. It will also better reflect the offerings of the department. Section AII: Changes in Generic Degree Requirements None

Program Notes

From: To:

All students must successfully complete two (2) writing-intensive classes (designated “WI”) to fulfill degree requirements.


Course Notes

From: To: 1 The credit range accounts for STEM variant in Common Core 1C. 1 The credit range accounts for STEM variant in Common Core 1C. 2 Students who use Requirements for the Major to satisfy Common Core requirements must take additional Electives in the Major to reach 60 credits.

2 Students are required to take particular courses in some areas of the Common Core that fulfill both general education and major requirements. If students do not take the required courses in the Common Core, they will have to take additional credits to complete their degree requirements.

3 Audition Required. 3 Audition Required.

4 Students who have taken a STEM variant course in the Common Core 1C have fulfilled this requirement.

4Students may repeat the course for credit up to a maximum of three (3) total credits in the degree plan.

5 Students who have taken a STEM variant course in the Common Core 1C have fulfilled this requirement.

Rationale: These changes are being made to conform to National Association of Schools of Theatre (NAST) accreditation standards and concerns and to better align the curriculum with CUNY senior college and other 4-year colleges. That will permit students to graduate with no additional time or repetition of courses and improve student preparedness for B.A. and B.F.A. programs.

Course Notes 1 Students who have had previous training in typewriting/keyboarding may replace BU-801 with 2 free elective credits. To be excused from BU-801, the keyboarding/ typewriting course that was taken at another institution must be evaluated and approved by a full-time member of the Office Administration and Technology (Business Department) faculty. In addition, students requesting to be excused from BU-801 must pass an exam which consists of the following:

• The ability to touch type for 3 minutes between 35-40 words per minute with a maximum of 3 errors

• The ability to format business documents (letters, memorandums, manuscripts, tables) using word processing software at a professional level

OR

Students who have had previous training in typewriting/keyboarding may receive 2 credits for BU-801 by passing Credit by Exam which consists of the following:



Those taking Credit by Exam must register and pay for the course. An additional fee is charged for those taking Credit by Exam. Those students who pass Credit by Exam are given credit for BU-801 and receive a grade of P. Those students who do not pass Credit by Exam must complete the BU-801 course in which they have already registered. Students must take Credit by Exam within the first two weeks of the semester.

3BI-950 can only be used towards elective credit if it hasn’t been used towards internship credit.

Rationale: HE-102 Health, Behavior, & Society is being added as an elective choice. It is a fundamental course that focuses on the relationship between health and human behavior by exploring the psychological, biological, and socio-cultural perspectives of health. This course will be useful for Medical Assistants when they work in health care and interact with patients.

A basic course, designed to develop in the student an understanding of musical art. After a discussion of basic concepts, terms, and principles of design in music, representative works of the great masters of the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern eras are played and analyzed. Aims for intelligent listening habits and recognition of specific forms and styles. Required readings, listening, and concert attendance.

An introductory course designed to develop skills for informed listening, understanding, and appreciation of music. Basic elements including melody, harmony, rhythm, texture, and form are discussed and used to analyze significant periods of musical history within but not limited to the Western art music tradition. Required readings, listening, and concert attendance.

Rationale: The course description is being modified to be more inclusive of the diversity of musical genres and historical periods that the musical department faculty use to teach the course objectives. The new description represents more accurately what has already been happening in the classroom, and more directly states the course objectives.

Prerequisite: none


An integrated approach to music, diatonic harmony, and species counterpoint. Theoretical concepts are reinforced through a keyboard component and through sight singing, ear training, and dictation of narrow ranged diatonic melodies and simple and compound rhythms.

Designed to provide declared A.S. music majors with a solid theoretical understanding of the fundamentals of music. The basics of notation and rhythm are covered as well as the common diatonic scales, intervals, and chords used in tonal music. There is an accompanying keyboard and ear training component to the class that prepares the student for MUS-132 (Piano II) and MUS-124 (Sight Reading and Ear Training II). This course is intended for MUS-AS students only.

Rationale: The proposed changes (removal of prerequisite and course description change) are in line with the degree program changes for the A.S. Music and A.A.S. Music Production Music Theory tracks. This clarifies the course objectives and makes it clear that MUS-121 is for A.S. Music students, not for students who have taken MUS-111 and/or MUS-112 Musicianship I & II. These changes should help to streamline the advisement process and ensure students in the A.A.S Music Production program are not registering for this class.

Diatonic progressions and continuation of the species counterpoint. Theoretical concepts are reinforced through a keyboard component.

This course covers the basics of chord spacing, voice leading techniques as they apply to diatonic chord progressions and cadences including the use of the cadential six-four and dominant seventh chords. The class also provides an introduction to the species counterpoint and the use of non-chord tones.

Rationale: The revision to the course prerequisite to include MUS-112 is so that students in either the MUS-121 track or the MUS-111/MUS-112 Musicianship I & II tracks can continue on to this course. It also clarifies the course description to more accurately reflect the course objectives as they are currently being taught. AV.12. MUS-123 Sight Reading and Ear Training I

Designed to develop the ability of the student to understand the relationship between sound and notation. Sight singing and dictation of narrow ranged diatonic melodies and simple and compound rhythms.

Rationale: This course revision to the pre-requisite is part of the restructuring of the music theory tracks for the A.S. Music and A.A.S Music Production programs. As a result, this course no longer needs the MUS-112 pre-requisite, and can be taken by any student who wishes to begin Sight Reading and Ear Training. In addition, the “offered as needed” language has been added to more clearly represent the nature of the course.

A continuation of the sight singing and ear training component of MUS-121 and MUS-112. Sight singing and dictation of more expansive diatonic melodies in multiple clefs and more extensive simple and compound rhythms.

Rationale: This course revision to the pre-requisite coincides with the pre-requisite revision to MUS-122 Music Theory II, for which this course is a co-requisite. It allows students in either the MUS-121 track or the MUS-111/MUS-112 Musicianship I & II tracks to continue on to this course. The course description has been modified to correct the language regarding MUS-121 and MUS-112 in place of MUS-123 as well, reflecting the change of pre-requisites for the course.
