IV. OLD BUSINESS

K. Hunter-Zaworski pointed out that the COE approval of the Entrepreneurship minor from COB did not have buy-in from departments within COE. L. Friedman said he and B. Burton will draft a recommendation to R. Adams that he consider forming a COE Curriculum Committee to help avoid this problem in the future.

V. NEW BUSINESS

a) Category I proposal: Undergraduate Certificate in Language in Culture (J. Trujillo) J. Trujillo and J. Gross explained that the proposal is a collaboration of the Departments of Anthropology and Foreign Languages and Literatures to create an undergraduate certificate program. This program will allow students to develop an understanding of the ways in which communication patterns vary from cultural group to cultural group. It will include a focus on language standardization and its effects, as well as first and second language acquisition. A recipient of this certificate should be able to apply their knowledge of sociolinguistics to real life situations. All courses already exist and there are no budget or fiscal issues. Taking this series of courses will show on transcripts as a certificate.

G. Beach noted that “and” should be changed to “in” on the cover page to read “Language in Culture.” Thus, it will match the title on the Transmittal Sheet . M. Abbott will make the change.

Decision: The Curriculum Council approved the Category I proposal for a new undergraduate certificate program entitled “Language in Culture.”

b) Category I proposal: BA, BS in Education (S. Stern and M. Dalton) S. Stern explained this proposal: it is expected to allow students to earn two degrees concurrently – one in their chosen field and the second in education; it should keep education costs down, and enhance student marketability after graduation. The new degree has two pathways. The first is a 40 credit hour program that includes all course work and field experiences (e.g. student teaching) necessary to qualify for an Initial Teaching License. The second pathway is a 32 credit hour program designed for those interested in teaching in a community agency/youth development, or workforce development setting.

Due to time constraints, L. Friedman postponed Council discussion of this proposal until the next meeting, Thursday, April 10.

NEXT MEETING: Thursday, April 10, 1:15-3:00pm in the MU Board Room.
