Department of Art
NEW PROGRAM
Art
Justification: To make it possible to offer a new concentration
in Art History, the Art department proposes to change the existing “Art
Studio” major to “Art Studio” concentration. The “Art
Studio concentration” offers exactly the same curriculum as the
former “Art Studio major.” The only change proposed is the
change in status from “major” to “concentration”
within the general “Art” major. (See old program/new program
table listed below under "Art History Concentration.)
Art History Concentration
Justification: The Art Department proposes to establish a
concentration in Art History. The new concentration would replace what
was called the “advising track” in Art History that was discontinued
in 1995 following a review by the National Association of Schools of Art
and Design (NASAD). NASAD questioned the Art Department’s curricular
format, which then consisted of three "advising tracks": Art
Education, History, and Studio. The three tracks shared a Studio core
curriculum, which did not provide an adequate foundation for a degree
in art history. The proposed new concentration in art history corrects
this and offers an excellent education in art history that meets NASAD
requirements. Furthermore, as the 1994 NASAD review noted, due to unexpected
retirements, the Art Department had only one full-time art historian when
the track was discontinued. This too has changed; three full-time historians
have been hired since 1994. Universities with student enrollment equal
to that of California State University, Sacramento invariably offer majors
or concentrations in Art History. It is considered a standard part of
a liberal arts curriculum. A survey of CSU Art Departments (Spring, 2003)
indicates that CSUS has the only Art Department in the system that does
not offer an Art History major or concentration, with the exception of
CSU Channel Islands (total campus enrollment of 1320) and alternative
art programs such as the one at CSU Monterey Bay in public art. Student
interest in art history at CSUS is present and will grow when the concentration
is official. We have a small number of special majors in art history and
recently graduated two M.A. students with a Special Major in Art History.
One of the two M.A graduates is enrolled in a Ph.D. program, and the other
has received a Getty fellowship. Another recent B.A. graduate is pursuing
a Masters degree in Museum Studies at San Francisco State. CSUS art history
students have completed the M.A. program at UC Davis.
Three program changes are needed to institute the proposed Art History concentration. First, the name of the major must be changed from “Art Studio” to “Art.” Second, the “Art Studio Major” must be changed to the “Art Studio Concentration.” Third, the “Art History Concentration” must be instituted within the “Art” major.

SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE
Art
Justification: To make it possible to offer a new concentration
in Art History, the Art department proposes to change the existing “Art
Studio” major to an “Art” major. The “Art”
major would have two concentrations: Art Studio and Art History. (See
old program/new program table listed above under "Art History Concentration.)
NON-SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES
BA Art
Justification: ART 114, Visual Form and the African Diaspora,
is a new course submitted for College approval and for addition to the
Art Department curriculum. For a justification of the course itself, see
Form A. Form B also is needed so that the course can be inserted into
the appropriate part of the Degree Requirements for the BA (Section C:
Upper Division Electives). Attached to Form B is a comparison of Section
C before and after the addition of ART 114.

* Independent study and supervisory courses
in the major are limited to two (no more than 6 units) and may be applied
only to the elective category.
BA/Minor Art
Justification:Three new classes—ART 97, ART 111, and ART
112—already have been added to the curriculum (the Course Changes
were approved and the courses are all in the Catalog). However, we neglected
to turn in the paperwork that would insert them into all of the appropriate
places in the degree requirements. This paperwork is intended to put ART
97 into the 2-D section of the Art Studio minor, and ART 111 and 112 into
the Upper Division Elective section of the major. A similar proposal for
a new art history course, ART 114, has just been sent over to the College.
Attachment for Form B in support of insertion of ART 97 into the Art Studio Minor (entry in italics). A previous version of this attachment was used to support the insertion of ART 3 (Art in the Asian World) into the Minor, so I have left that entry in place.

Department of Communications Studies
SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE
Journalism
Justification: Deletes Jour 30 and adds Jour 20 as a required
lower division course. Required upper division courses increased by 6
units to reflect split of Jour 130 into 130A and 130B and to add Jour
128. These changes will better prepare students for journalism careers
by providing more intensive instruction in reporting and editing.

Public Relations Concentration
Justification: We are changing the electives listing to have
students meet with their advisor to pick electives rather than listing
specific classes. This should make scheduling easier for both students
and our department.

Digital Media Concentration
Justification: The Digital Media core and
option cores are changed to reflect better use of our course offerings
and lab facilities. The overall unit requirement does not change. The
proposed changes reflect a realignment of courses that the Department
feels better prepare students for the Digital Media field. They also make
more efficient use of laboratory space.

Department of Design
SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES
Graphic Design
Justification: 1) Proposal of an official entrance application
requirement for all majors before admission to GPHD upper division units
to better prepare our students for the competitive job market. Such a
requirement would entail the following:
- the creation of a “pre-major” classification in Graphic
Design to distinguish between those who have
been admitted into GPHD upper division units from those who have not.
- screening of applicants from “pre-major” status to full
major status through a juried portfolio process.
The program would accept 80 applicants per year.
- the introduction of a required overall GPA of 2.5+ before applying for
the portfolio entrance
- the introduction of a required minimum grade of “C” or better
in all lower division coursework
- the shoring up of our current lower division sequence (specifically
two new LD classes, and the
migration of one UD class to LD) to better prepare non-transfer students
to be competitive in a portfolio
process. Generally, area community college students transfer into our
program better prepared in their
composition, drawing and craft skills. The proposed course changes and
additions would better prepare
non-transfer students for the entrance portfolio.
2) Proposal of a few adjustments in the upper division:
- changing of the current minimum required grade in major upper division
classes from “C-“ to “C”.
The grade requirement needs to be adjusted to demand increased student
excellence in UD classes.
- a substantial increase of elective upper division course offerings.
Courses would draw from already
existing courses in the Art, Photography and Digital Media majors. The
additions would offer
more options for students in study subject matter as well as increased
flexibility in scheduling around
required GPHD courses offered on a limited basis.
(See a side-by-side comparison of the current requirements and proposed
requirements on page 3)
3) Creation of a cohort system, wherein students accepted in the program
are put into specific course sequence tracks, addressing two current problems:
a. difficulty in securing classes when they need them
b. not graduating in a timely and predictable manner
| OLD PROGRAM | NEW PROGRAM |
| Current Sequence Total Units: 66 A. Required LD (24 units) ART 1A (3) INTD 20 (3)

Proposed Sequence A. Required LD (30 units) Select one from the following two: INTD 20 (3) GPHD 05 (3) proposed course B. Required UD (27 units) C. Required Electives (9 units) |
Interior Design
Justification: The Interior Design Degree currently
requires majors to complete two upper division CAD (computer aided design)
courses for a total of six units. IntD 121A is required of all majors
and is a prerequisite course for IntD 121B and IntD 121C. Majors must
then complete either IntD 121B or IntD 121C. We are proposing to move
IntD 121A down to Lower Division and to change course numbers for each
of the three courses. There would be no change in unit requirements and
IntD 30 would remain the prerequisite course for IntD 130A and IntD 130B.
The lower division CAD course could be articulated with many Community
Colleges. There would be no change in staffing needs nor would additional
resources be required if approved.

NEW PROGRAMS
Creative Writing Minor
Justification: We are proposing an 18-unit minor in Creative
Writing, which would serve students in a number of programs at CSUS. We
have, in fact, received numerous requests from CSUS students to develop
such a minor. The literature requirements of our existing minor in English
do not offer students enough freedom to concentrate in an intensive way
on developing their creative writing skills. In fact, the core requirements
in our minor prevent students from concentrating on craft as is necessary
for them to continue to improve as creative writers. Since these students
are particularly interested in the production of poetry, fiction, and/or
creative non-fiction, they need a minor that allows them to take enough
course work to focus on the writing of literature, not just the reading
of literature. The minor encompasses courses already in existence, so
we will need to design any new courses.
Required Courses (6 units)
(3) ENGL 30A Introduction to Creative Writing
(3) ENGL 30B Introduction to Writing Fiction
or
(3) ENGL 30C Introduction to Poetry Writing
Choose Four from the Following (12 units)
(3) ENGL 130A Writing Short Fiction
(3) ENGL 130B Poetry Writing I
(3) ENGL 130C Poetry Writing II
(3) ENGL 130E Grandmother, Mother, Me

Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)
Justification:We are proposing an 18-unit minor in Teaching English
to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) which would serve students in a
number of programs at CSUS. We have, in fact, received numerous requests
from CSUS students to develop such a minor. The coursework would give
students the strong knowledge base critical for working with English Language
Learners in secondary or post-secondary settings. This preparation will
include theories of first- and second-language acquisition, English linguistics
(phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics), the structure
of English with a focus on teaching English Language Learners, a special
emphasis on preparing English Language Learners for academic reading and
writing, and practical ESL teaching experience through tutoring. Students
in such degree programs as English, English Education, Liberal Studies,
Foreign Languages and Communication Studies, as well as students in other
programs who are preparing to teach in California’s schools, would
benefit from this additional preparation. The minor encompasses courses
already in existence, with one exception (see attached course proposal).
Proposed Minor in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)
Additional Required Information
1. Campus submitting request:
California State University, Sacramento
Minor in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)
2. Degree program:
Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) in the English
Department
(Note: This is an MA program; there currently is no TESOL undergraduate
major)
3. Options, concentrations and special emphases already existing
The TESOL Program (English Department) offers two 18-unit options for
the Certificate of Advanced Study in TESOL as well as a Master’s
Degree in TESOL and a Master’s International degree in conjunction
with service in the Peace Corps.
4. Department to offer the aggregate of courses:
Department of English, CSUS
Marie E. Helt, TESOL Coordinator
(916) 278-5394
Marie.Helt@csus.edu
5. Purpose of the proposed minor:
The purpose of the proposed minor is to provide students in other degree
programs with the additional, strong knowledge base which is critical
for working with English Language Learners in secondary and post-secondary
school settings. This preparation will include theories of first- and
second-language acquisition, broad knowledge of English linguistics (phonology,
morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics), a strong command of English
grammar with an emphasis on teaching English Language Learners, a special
emphasis on preparing English Language Learners for academic reading and
writing demands, and practical training/experience through ESL tutoring.
With this coursework and experience, students from numerous programs will
be well-equipped to work with California’s diverse student populations
as well as students in other states or overseas.
6. Need for the proposed minor:
Over the last several semesters, numerous students have asked our faculty
why we do not offer a minor in TESOL. These include students from English,
Foreign Languages, Communication Studies and other programs. The TESOL
minor would fill this gap by providing these students and others with
a strong preparation for working with English Language Learners in multiple
settings. This preparation will broaden their perspectives on teaching,
learning and culture, and enhance their prospects in various job markets.
7. Courses to be required:
The 18-unit TESOL minor will consist of the following requirements:

majors) cannot also be applied to the TESOL Minor. See the TESOL Coordinator
for prior approval of substitute courses.
SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE
English
Justification:The new English major creates a variety of possible
areas of concentration/specialization from which students may choose while
also retaining some features of the present major (4 lower division surveys,
a 120A composition requirement, and a Shakespeare class). We instituted
this concentration plan to give students greater flexibility in selecting
the English major most suitable for them, to be more responsive to new
areas of research in English and language study, and to represent more
fully the various areas of expertise practiced by our faculty. Even with
the addition of a senior seminar class as a requirement we have retained
a 45 unit major with 27 upper division units required.

SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES
Humanities and Religious Studies/Religious Studies Minor
Justification: Increase number of units in core of minor to 6
(from 3) by adding HRS 108: Approaches to Religious Studies to HRS 140:
Exploring World Religions. Reduce total number of elective units to maintain
21 unit minor. Reorganize elective units to emphasize centrality of HRS
classes. Revise elective course list to include courses that have been
added to the curriculum since 2002. Remove courses from the electives
list in which the treatment of religious studies topics or approaches
is not a central objective. The department believes this revision strengthens
the level of fundamental preparation in the minor while continuing to
allow students a measure of flexibility in making elective course choices.
HRS courses have been “clustered” on the electives list to
reflect the multiple areas of religious studies in the department and
to “foreground” the importance of choosing HRS courses as
electives. Allowing students the opportunity to choose non-HRS courses
from another list of electives reinforces the department’s understanding
that religious studies is an interdisciplinary field. The non-HRS courses
on the electives list allow students to explore various discipline-based
approaches to the study of religion.

Humanities and Religious Studies/Humanities Minor
Justification:Increase number of units in core requirements for
minor to 9 (from 6) by adding HRS 105: Approaches to the Humanities to
HRS 10: Arts and Ideas of the West, I and HRS 11: Art and Ideas of the
West, II. Retain number of units of electives in minor as 12. Students
will be able to choose four elective classes----three of which must be
chosen from different subject areas (Ancient Civilizations, Medieval/Renaissance
Studies, Modern World, American Studies, Asian Cultures.) All other requirements
for the minor remain the same—the number of units required for the
minor remains 21 and 12 of the units in the minor must be upper division.
The department also proposes that the catalog copy organize the minor’s
electives by subject area, where relevant. While the total number of units
required for the minor will remain at 21, the distribution of the units
will change to include the core methods course (HRS 105), which is also
part of the major. This change strengthens the common elements of the
minor to include both lower-division, introductory basic survey classes
and an upper-division methodology course. Minors must still also choose
classes from at least 3 of the 5 subject areas offered by the department.
The department believes this revision strengthens the level of fundamental
preparation in the minor while still allowing students flexibility in
making elective course choices.

Department of Bilingual/Multicultural Education
NEW PROGRAM
Master of Arts in Education: Teacher Leadership in Multicultural
Education and Multicultural Educators in Non-traditional Settings.
Justification: The Bilingual/Multicultural Education Department
(BMED) has revised course content, course sequencing and course names
as well as created new courses in order to better meet graduate students’
needs and interests and more fully build on faculty expertise. As a result
the new options in the Master of Arts in Education program offered by
BMED will be Teacher Leadership in Multicultural Education and Multicultural
Educators in Non-traditional Settings.
The Department of Bilingual/Multicultural Education (BMED) has redesigned its Master of Arts program based on an analysis of student professional interests and needs, the current context of public education in California and the expertise of the department faculty.
Description of the New Master of Arts Program in BMED
For the past several years, BMED has wrestled with several recurring issues
in its M.A. program: a sizable group of students who make intermittent
and haphazard progress through the program, a similar group that completes
coursework but does not complete the culminating experience, coursework
that under emphasizes concrete examination of professional practices,
courses that are loosely integrated, and coursework that does not fully
meet the needs of the students in the program, a portion of whom teach
in public school settings as well as others who are educators in non-traditional
teaching settings.
During the last two years, the Department’s graduate committee,
comprised of nine department faculty, has proposed several alternatives
in an attempt to address these issues. In Spring 2001, the department
admitted its first group of graduate students who have progressed through
the program together, allowing for more intensive advising, better articulation
across courses, and more support for the culminating experience. Subsequent
cohorts have been admitted in Fall 2002 and Fall 2003, and the department
faculty have voted to admit M.A. students into cohorts only as a general
practice. During the past year, the committee has also worked to revise
existing courses and develop new courses that would address the academic
and professional needs of the two groups of students that predominate
in our program. These revisions have been oriented by the following design
principles:
• Develop coursework for two distinct populations: public school
teachers and educators in non-traditional settings. Some coursework will
mix these two groups; other coursework will be designed for their distinct
needs and offered separately.
• Consistent critical theory/pedagogy orientation throughout courses
in the program.
• Strengthen ties between theoretical content and opportunities
to experiment with and reflect on practice.
• Maximize connections between content presented across courses.
• Expose students to high quality and current research in the field
across all courses.
• Expose students to important local, state and national leaders
in the education and social justice/social change community, as possible.
• Provide students with multiple opportunities to analyze their
professional experiences within regional, state, national and international
contexts.
• Provide students with multiple opportunities throughout the program
to develop a broad skill set that will enable their success as educators
working for social justice.
• Structure opportunities for members of the student cohort to develop
collaborative professional relationships with each other.
• Provide opportunities for graduate students to attend professional
and academic events that would strengthen their connections to and knowledge
of the bilingual and multicultural education fields.
• Maximize support and guidance available to students during all
phases of the program, but especially the culminating experience.
The proposed BMED Master of Arts Program includes several new courses
and substantial revisions to existing courses. The revised program drops
the two existing options and creates two new M.A. options: Teacher Leadership
in Multicultural Education (34-37 unit minimum) and Multicultural Educators
in Non-traditional Settings (31-34 unit minimum).
New courses include EDBM 200, EDBM 220B, EDBM 230, EDBM 240, EDBM 245,
EDBM 260, EDBM 265, EDBM 280, and EDBM 285. EDBM 200 Pro-Seminar in Bilingual
and Multicultural Education is designed to provide students with an in-depth
overview of the fields of bilingual and multicultural education as well
as introduce them to the department faculty and their professional interests
and expertise. This course will assist students in gaining an overview
of critical issues in the field as well as familiarizing them with the
faculty, thus facilitating their eventual selection of a thesis/project
advisor. EDBM 220B Afrocentric Curriculum & Instruction focuses on
an in-depth analysis of the African American experience in public schools
and alternative approaches to maximizing success for these students. EDBM
240 Advanced Seminar in Methods will offer candidates opportunities to
delve deeply into current literature and advanced pedagogical practices
in several key areas: cooperative learning, arts in education and education
in the content areas. The focus of the seminar will vary depending on
students’ professional interests and the expertise of the faculty
teaching it. EDBM 245A Advocacy, Change and Community will support students’
development of skills needed to create change and transformation in their
community and professional settings. EDBM 245B Cultural Dialogue, Advocacy
and the Development will emphasize the identification of community based
educational initiatives and agendas that were successfully developed and
implemented by diverse cultural groups. EDBM 260 Social and Psychological
Foundations of Race and Gender among African Americans examines racial
and gender dimensions of identity development among African Americans
and analyzes these experiences within family, school, work, and community
contexts. . EDBM 265 Project/Thesis Writing continues learning initiated
in EDBM 250 on the research process and offers students targeted support
during the interim stages of thesis/project research and writing. EDBM
280 Action Research for Critical Educators provides educators in public
school and non-traditional settings with the tools for conducting inquiry
on elements of their own practice or practices within their institutional
settings. In EDBM 285 Education Policy and the Law students engage in
advanced study of the significant legislation (state and federal) and
legal decisions impacting educational equity efforts.
Revisions to existing courses include changes in content, sequencing and
numbering of existing EDBM courses. EDBM 251 Education for a Democratic
Pluralistic Society has been renumbered to EDBM 205 (same title), indicating
that it is a course to be taken early in the graduate sequence. The focus
has expanded from a treatment of current issues to also include study
of historical contexts and events that shape public school, educational
reforms and the teaching profession. EDBM 278 Theoretical Perspectives
on Cross Cultural Education has been renumbered and renamed to EDBM 210
Critical Race Theory and Critical Pedagogy: Concepts and Practice, and
while the focus on cross cultural education will remain, the course will
deal substantially with the theoretical and applied tenets of critical
race theory and critical pedagogy. EDBM 273 Research Seminar on Bilingualism
and Language Varieties, EDBM 275 Assessment of the Bilingual Learner,
and EDBM 277 Curriculum for Multicultural Schools will change in number
and/or title only to: EDBM 235 Research Seminar on Bilingualism and Language
Varieties, EDBM 230 Assessment in Multicultural Schools, and EDBM 220A
Curriculum for Multicultural Schools, respectively. Currently, the department
differentiates between thesis (EDBM 565) and project (EDBM 566) units.
This designation causes undue confusion and complication; we will now
only use one culminating experience course number: EDBM 565 Thesis/Project.
Consultation with departments within the College of Education and in other
CSUS Colleges and Schools. The changes in our program do not affect other
department either in the College or in the university.
Below we list the changes that are proposed for the BMED Master of Arts Program and are listed in comparison to existing program offerings described in the 2002-2004 CSUS Catalog of Courses.

PROGRAM DELETION
Master of Arts in Education: Multicultural Education and Bilingual/Cross-cultural
Language Development Leadership
Justification:The Bilingual/Multicultural Education Department
(BMED) has revised course content, course sequencing and course names
as well as created new courses in order to better meet graduate students’
needs and interests and more fully build on faculty expertise. As a result
the existing options in the Master of Arts in Education program offered
by BMED will be deleted. These options are: Multicultural Education and
Bilingual/Cross-cultural Language Development Leadership.
Department of Child Development
SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE
M.A. in Education – Early Childhood Education
Justification:The proposed program change is designed to add
important content to the required foundations section of the program.
In addition, some content currently in the required foundations belongs
more appropriately in the list of core choice courses:
1.The current program does not include coursework in the required foundation
courses which addresses developmental theory, research and the application
of this research to educational and community settings. This change adds
a new course (CHDV 242, Advanced Child Development) to the required foundation
courses which emphasizes developmental theory and research in all areas
of Child Development.
2.CHDV 214, Assessment of Text, Context and Learners, will be moved from
the foundation courses to the set of core courses from which students
can choose, where it more appropriately fits into the program.
3.The content of CHDV 251 is being broadened to include a focus on developmental
issues, and to address the diversity of career interests and directions
of ECE M.A. students.
4.CHDV 247 will now focus more closely on theoretical and applied perspectives
of cross cultural development. Content in this course related to socio-political
influences on education will be incorporated into the required CHDV 251
course.
I. Overview of Proposed Changes: Effective Spring, 2004
1) Move CHDV 214 from (required) foundation to core courses
2) Add CHDV 242 (Advanced Child Development) to (required) foundation
courses

Master of Science in Counseling
(School Psychology)
Justification: The Master of Arts in Education
(School Psychology) was adopted to meet state and national accreditation
recommendations and the requirements of practicing School Psychologists
in today’s schools. The Master of Science in Counseling (School
Psychology) is no longer needed. Students presently in the M.S. Program

Justification: Fifteen units of required
seminar courses (1/2 of the total units) would be required in Department
of Teacher Education Courses. Up to this point, the Department has been
only recommending that students take the Culminating Seminar. This has
been found to be an excellent venue to pull together all of the content
learned from the previous seminars and elective courses toward the goal
of defining the research and strategies they will use for their individual
thesis or project. A complete description the the course follows: “Course
needed to provide students with the following topics: defining and narrowing
a topic for study; abstract writing; differentiation of primary/secondary
sources of evidence; development of organizational schemes for a literature
review; computer searching; format requirements; time management; range
and breadth of evidence for an adequately comprehensive review; connecting
the review and project/thesis; writing style and quality; revisions and

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE
Department of Civil Engineering
NEW PROGRAM
Graduate Certificate Program in Civil Engineering
Justification: A graduate certificate program is needed to meet
the demand of specialization by practicing engineering within greater
Sacramento area. The program is designed to issue a graduate certificate
to participants in the program after taking a number of graduate classes
specified for each specialty area (see attached description). The program
is available for students who are admitted in the graduate program.
The description and the requirements of the proposed program are shown
in the attached document. This program is developed to meet the needs
of practicing engineers. Professional engineers in most cases have no
time to allocate for completing their Masters degree. However, they are
interested in developing their skills in their specialty area. This program
is designed to capture this demand and offer a program that is needed
by the professional community. The program benefits are:
1) Strengthen the department’s ties to the professional community
by demonstrating our willingness to be responsive to our community needs,
2) Strengthen the graduate program by recruiting potential graduate students
that could be interested in continuing their masters degree,
3) Shorten the graduation time for graduate students because of more frequent
offering of graduate classes, and
4) Improve the cost of offering graduate classes by increasing enrollment
in graduate classes.
Potentially, the graduate certificate program could grow to a point that
the department may need to offer some of the classes more frequently.
In such case, the department may need to grow gradually to about 18 faculty
members (the size of the department in mid 80s). At this point, the department
cannot predict the growth rate of the graduate certificate program. The
most likely scenario is that the enrollment will be stronger than our
current enrollment and will allow us to offer the graduate classes.
The graduate certificate program in civil engineering is designed to recognize
students who have completed core graduate courses in a specialty area
in civil engineering. This program meets the need of professional engineers
that are interested in sharpening their skills in their specialty area.
The certificate program is available to matriculated students in the CE
graduate program. A grade point average of 3.0 must be attained for all
courses taken in the program. Certificates in the following areas are
offered:
Environmental Engineering:
(1) Treatment Systems Certificate – ENGR 203, CE 252 A, CE 252B,
and CE 252C.
(2) Water Quality Certificate – ENGR 203, CE 250, CE 252 A, and
CE 254.
(3) Geo-Environmental Certificate – ENGR 203, CE 181, CE 252A, and
CE 255.

Justification: Retaining the 9-unit requirement, make CSC 230
an optional course instead of a required course and add three additional
optional courses, CSC 235, CSC 236, and CSC 238. Students would be able
to take any three of the following courses: CSC 230, CSC 231, CSC 232,
CSC 233, CSC 234, CSC 235, CSC 236, and CSC 238. Students would have more

Division of Nursing
NON-SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE
Undergraduate Clinical Nursing
Program
Justification: As a result of the CSU Nursing Alignment project
funded by the CSU Chancellor’s Office from 2000-2003, all CSU Nursing
programs beginning not later than 2005 will have the same core pre-requisites
for admission to the clinical major. These include anatomy, physiology,
microbiology, an integrated chemistry course, speech, English composition,
critical thinking, and quantitative reasoning. Additional pre-requisites
currently required for admission will become co-requisites. Consequently,
it is necessary for the clinical portion of the program to expand to six
(6) semesters from the current five (5) semester sequence. The “Core
8” may be completed in one academic year, and admission to the clinical
program would be at the Sophomore level. In order to allow students to
acquire the foundational knowledge from nutrition, life span, psychology,
and pharmacology before taking courses involving patient care, the first
official semester of the program will include three co-requisites (life
span, psychology, pharmacology); NURS 11, Introduction to Professional
Nursing; and NURS 17, Concepts and Processes of Gerontological Nursing,
courses currently taken either prior to admission to the clinical program
or concurrent with the current first clinical semester. The new second
semester of the program will include nutrition as a co-requisite, a GE
course of the students choice, and the remaining clinical nursing courses
from the current entry semester into the program. This change in pre-requisites
was legislated by AB 2314,Thomson, and signed into law on 9/29/2002. The
Division of Nursing is requesting implementation of this change effective
Fall 2004 to coincide with the 2004-2006 Catalog. There is no change in
required courses or total number of units. The requested change reduces
the number of pre-requisites, adds co-requisites, and sequences the current
first semester of clinical courses over two semesters.

Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies
NON-SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE
Bachelor of Science, Recreation Administration
Justification: The change is considered to be non-substantive
as no unit changes are involved in either the Therapeutic Recreation or
Recreation and Park Management options. Both are presented together. There
are two basic changes, any other apparent changes are simply the outcome
of existing requirements being listed in a slightly altered order.
The changes:
1. RLS 194 Orientation to Directed Field Experiences (Internships) (1
unit) is removed as a required class for all majors and replaced by RLS
1 Orientation to Recreation and Leisure Studies (1/2 unit) and also RLS
101 Senior Portfolio Seminar (1/2 unit).
Since the recent introduction of a required graduation portfolio, a more formal advising and accountability sequence is necessary. There is currently no formal exit strategy for the requirement. At the same time, the DFE preparation requirement has diminished as students are more familiar with such skills as resume preparation and placement searches. A reduced exposure to the DFE process will still be included in the RLS 1 class, along with an introduction to the major fields of study, advising processes, and the portfolio requirement.
2. The Therapeutic Recreation option loses three units of elective classes in favor of requiring the existing RLS 136 Recreation Program Planning class that is currently required of all other majors.
This was one specific area of concern at our last national accreditation visit. We are approaching program accreditation again and would like to solve the problem in advance.
3. One other change corrects a typographical error – the pre-requisite hours for field placements should have referred to all 195 classes, not just 195D.
4. A provision is added to the existing “Note” to accommodate the accumulation of credits associated with the proposed RLS 197.
A more substantial program review is anticipated during the next catalog cycle, with the addition and involvement of several newly hired faculty. However, these changes seemed prudent at this time.

research. We have added 2 new upper division courses that have no prerequisites.
We need to change the note referring to these courses so that student
can apply them to the minor. Students will now be able to apply 6 units
from ECON 112, ECON 120, ECON 181, ECON 84, ECON 186, and ECON 189 to
the minor.
Removing MIS 1A, 1B, and 1C or CSC 001 as an option for the minor may
reduce the number of our students taking these courses from the Business
School or the Computer Science department. The other changes should have
no programmatic or fiscal impact on other units.

BA in Economics
Justification: We are replacing the MIS 1A, 1B, and 1C computing
skills requirement with ECON 140. This will allow students to learn computing
skills while developing analytical skills useful in economic research.
We have added 2 new upper division courses that have no prerequisites.
We need to change the note referring to these courses. Students will now
be able to apply 3 units from ECON 112, ECON 120, ECON 181, ECON 184,

SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE
Environmental Studies
Justification: To allow students to substitute Environmental
Studies 128 “Environment and the Law” with Environmental Studies
171 “ Environmental Politics and Policy”. These are similar
courses and providing this option gives students more flexibility in scheduling
classes. EnvS 128 is only offered in the spring semester, and EnvS 171
is only offered in the fall. Choosing EnvS 175 results in one more hour
in the major.

Department of Family and Consumer Sciences
SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE
B.A. Family and Consumer Sciences, Family Studies Concentration
Justification: The proposed changes are based on bringing the
Family Area curriculum more in line with the guidelines for Certification
in Family Life Education, approved by the National Council on Family Relations.
Three 3-unit courses that were formerly in a list of electives will now be required. This change will strengthen students’ knowledge in the developmental area of Family Studies and will concentrate students in three key upper division courses. Changes will meet the guidelines for Family Life Education approved by the National Council on Family Relations.
Child Development 30 will no longer be accepted in lieu of FACS 52. Child
Development 30, Human Development, covers lifespan development (conception
to death). In the new program, Family Area students in FACS will have
a nine-unit sequence in human development: FACS 52, The Child in the Family;
FACS 152, Adolescent Development; and FACS 159, Adulthood and Aging.
Economics 1A, 1B or 104 will no longer be required for students in the
Family Studies area. Students are required to take FACS 140, Family Resource
Management, and FACS 141, Family Finance, both of which provide adequate
information about economic conditions that affect family well-being.
1. Require three courses from the list of upper-division electives instead of two electives. Students will be required to take three upper division courses, FACS 152, Adolescent Development; FACS 155, Family Life Education; and FACS 159, Adulthood and Aging.
This change will strengthen the curriculum by providing all students with two additional developmental courses, FACS 152, Adolescent Development; and FACS 159, Adulthood and Aging; and FACS 155, the Family Life Education course. The proposed curriculum in Family Studies area will meet the requirements for Certification in Family Life Education approved by the National Council on Family Relations. In addition, FACS 155 will be a critical course for all students as we focus on meeting the guidelines of the national certifying body.
2. Delete as required course option, Child Development 30, Human Development, 3 units.
Because the new program will require students to complete a sequence
of three 3-unit courses in human development spanning from infancy through
adulthood to aging; CHDV 30, which is a lifespan course that covers all
the life stages in one course, will be redundant for students when they
take the upper-division courses in the sequence. Dr. Susan Gomez, chair
of Child Development was consulted.
3. Delete as required course options, Econ 1A, Introduction to Macroeconomic
Analysis; Econ 1B, Introduction to Microeconomic Analysis; and Econ 104,
Introduction to United States Economy.
Because students are now required to take three upper-division courses instead of two electives, we have decided to delete Economics as a required course. However, students are required to take both FACS 140, Family Resource Management; and FACS 141, Family Finance, as part of their required core in the department. These courses examine how various economic conditions affect family well-being. Additionally, they help students develop the necessary skills to help families manage their financial resources. Dr. Terri Sexton, chair of Economics was consulted.

B.A. Family and Consumer Sciences, Apparel Marketing and Design
Concentration
Justification: Four 3-unit former elective courses become mandatory
which strengthens students’ skills and knowledge of the interrelatedness
of apparel marketing and apparel design, as well as knowledge of human
behavior, as it relates to textiles, clothing and merchandising. Addition
of 3 units to the program to allow one elective course in the program.
Changes reflect department’s ongoing curriculum review and assessment,
including input from students and the apparel marketplace. Increasing
3 units and switching four 3-unit former elective courses to mandatory
will provide a broader and deeper education to our students, which will
help them better prepare for the ongoing more and more competitive apparel
market. Each of these four courses can strengthen our students’
skills from different perspectives. They will enable our students to build
on the foundation of the core courses and provide them updated and advanced
skills and knowledge.

Department of Psychology
SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE
Master of Arts, Counseling Psychology Concentration
Justification:This Substantive Program Change proposal clarifies
the required courses for the Psychology MA, Counseling Psychology Concentration
program, streamlines the curriculum from a programmatic and units perspective,
and maintains compliance with new and existing Board of Behavioral Sciences
(BBS) requirements for program certification. The 17 program changes include
one new course proposal and several modifications and deletions of existing
courses. These course level changes are justified largely because they
allow us to offer all BBS required courses while still remaining within
the 60 unit maximum required by the University. They are programmatically
justified because they continue to reflect the breadth and depth of knowledge
associated with the field of Counseling Psychology. Examples of course
level changes include the addition of a graduate level psychopharmacology
course and the combining of couples counseling, spousal/partner abuse,
and human sexuality topics into a single three unit course. We also propose
to eliminate the catalog section ‘Additional Courses for MFT License’
and incorporate the topics therein into the catalog section ‘Required
Courses’. This change is justified by the need to bring degree program
requirements and BBS requirements into complete alignment.
Our proposed changes will likely have some programmatic impact
on the Master of Science in Counseling degree program in the Department
of Counselor Education. First, conversation with program representatives
and review of the university catalog shows that they do not have a course
in psychopharmacology, which is now required by the Board of Behavioral
Sciences. Our proposed addition of a graduate level Advanced Psychopharmacology
course may benefit students in their program in that they would be allowed
into the class on a space available, instructor approved, basis. Second,
we propose reducing the unit requirement of PSYC 250 Alcohol and Chemical
Dependency from 3 units to 1 unit, which may affect their decision to
continue cross listing it with their EDC 233 course. Third, we will be
removing the option for our students to take EDC 231 Diagnosis and Treatment
Planning instead of PSYC 268 Advanced Psychopathology because we have
moved PSYC 268 into our Required Core Courses category and feel that students
should not have cross-listed options for the program core. However, Counselor
Education may continue to cross-list PSYC 268 for their students if they
choose. Fourth, Counselor Education students are allowed to fulfill their
EDC 234 Seminar: Marriage and Family Counseling course requirement with
our PSYC 225 Theories and Techniques of Marriage, Family and Child Counseling.
Our proposal to change the focus of PSYC 225 to family therapy exclusively
and move couples counseling topics to PSYC 236 and child counseling to
PSYC 253, is unlikely to have a programmatic impact on Counselor Education
because they have an existing child counseling class (EDC 272), they have
an Advanced Seminar on Marriage and Family Counseling (EDC 235), and few
students opt to take PSYC 225. A copy of correspondence describing the
proposed changes to Miguel Martinez, Counselor Education Chair is attached.
The proposed program changes will result
in conservation of existing department/college fiscal resources. This
will be accomplished by eliminating courses or reducing the unit requirement
of courses. For example, PSYC 252 Child Abuse and Neglect and PSYC 254
Spouse/Partner Abuse will be eliminated and their course content will
be incorporated into existing courses PSYC 201 and PSYC 256, respectively.
PSYC 250 Alcohol and Chemical Dependency will be reduced from 3 units
to 1 unit; PSYC 295F will be reduced from 4 units to 3 units; and PSYC
228 will be reduced from 6 units to 5 units. The addition of the proposed
Psychopharmacology course will not require additional resources because
its units will be offset by the course deletions or unit reductions as
described above. In addition, one of our full time tenure track faculty
members is intending on offering the course. The scholarly expertise required
to carry out our proposed program changes is present in our current full-time
faculty, our existing part-time faculty pool, or in our existing plan
for new faculty hires.
1. Change the course category for PSYC 210 Theories of Personality
from Required Core Courses to Required Courses.
2. Rename PSYC 201 to Professional Issues and Child Abuse Reporting and modify course description to include Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting topics.
3. Rename PSYC 223 to Theories and Techniques of Counseling and Psychotherapy
and modify course description to include theories of psychotherapy topics.
4. Delete PSYC 224 Theories of Counseling and Psychotherapy and incorporate
course
content into PSYC 223.
5. Rename PSYC 225 to Family Therapy and modify course description to reflect course focus on family therapy, omitting couples and child counseling topics which are addressed in PSYC 236 and PSYC 253, respectively.
6. Delete PSYC 229 Practicum Evaluation and incorporate its content into PSYC 228 Practicum.
7. Change the course category for PSYC 268 Advanced Psychopathology from
Required Courses to Required Core Courses.
8. Increase the units offered for PSYC 228 Practicum to 5 units that include
4 units of instruction and a 1 unit attached lab. Restructure PSYC 228
as a laboratory course and incorporate the content of PSYC 229 Practicum
Evaluation (which will be deleted as a separate course). This proposed
change is founded on the nature of instruction required for the course,
which is predominantly instructor-student 1:1 supervision and small group
instruction and supervision (required by the BBS and state law). PSYC
228 prerequisites are now PSYC 201, PSYC 223, PSYC 227, PSYC 268 and one
of PSYC 225, PSYC 235, or PSYC 253.
9. Rename PSYC 236 to Human Sexuality, Partner Abuse, and Couples Counseling and modify course description to include couples counseling and spousal abuse in addition to human sexuality topics. Move PSYC 236 from Additional Courses for MFT license to Required Courses category.
10. Reduce units for PSYC 250 Alcohol and Chemical Dependency: Detection and Treatment from 3 units to 1 unit. Change PSYC 250 course category from Additional Courses for MFT license to Required Courses category.
11. Delete PSYC 252 Child Abuse and Neglect and incorporate course content into PSYC 201.
12. Delete PSYC 254 Spouse/Partner Abuse and incorporate its course content into PSYC 236.
13. Delete course catalog section entitled Additional Courses for MFT License (all courses therein have been deleted or moved).
14. Change status of PSYC 295F Fieldwork in Clinical and Counseling Psychology from an elective course to a required course in the Practicum Requirement category. This change ensures that students fulfill their required 150 hours of client contact by taking all courses in the Practicum Requirement section. PSYC 295F prerequisites are now PSYC 201, PSYC 223, PSYC 227, PSYC 268 and one of PSYC 225, PSYC 235, or PSYC 253.
15. Delete PSYC 293 Fieldwork Evaluation and incorporate its course content into PSYC 295F.
16. Remove PSYC 500B Continued Culminating Experience from the Culminating Requirement category and change the category units to 4. PSYC 500B will remain as an elective course in order to give students the option of enrolling in it should they decide to lengthen the thesis process.
17. Add new course PSYC 220 Psychopharmacology (3 units) to Required
Courses category. This change will allow our graduate program to maintain
compliance with current BBS requirements. (Note: in order to use this
course title, a nonsubstantive course change proposal is concurrently
submitted renaming PSYC 117 Psychopharmacology to PSYC 117 Drugs and Behavior).
