Department of Art
NON-SUBSTANTIVE
Subject Matter Program (Pre-Credential
Preparation
Justification: The ART
subject matter program for the single subject teaching credential needs
to be revised in order to include new studio courses ART 97 and Art 198.
Art history courses ART 111, Art 117A and Art 117B have to be added. The
Art 132 Early Childhood Art has been deleted because it is no longer active.
Art 53 has been inserted in the core area because it is a prerequisite
for the upper division Art 153 Hand-Built Ceramics course.
Art majors wishing to pursue a teaching
credential should contact a credential advisor Dr. Anna Wagner-Ott in
the Art Department. Students seeking a teaching credential must complete
the Professional Education Program in the College of Education in addition
to other requirements.
Note: ART 305 (Art in the Public School) is the required learning methods
course for students seeking the Preliminary Teaching Credential.
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS • BA

Department of Child Development
SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE
Child Development Major A: Academic
Program
Justification: This proposal
reflects two major changes in the Major A Academic Program. First, the
new program incorporates course changes made in the revision of the Major
B Subject Matter Program during spring of 2003. Some of these course changes
also impact Major A (changes in units for specific courses, for example).
Second, the proposal increases the required elective units and allows
students the option of organizing electives in academic or career-related
emphases. The development of suggested emphases is in follow-up to recommendations
from the department’s recent program review.

students confer with faculty advisors when choosing an emphasis.

Child Development Major B Elementary
Subject Matter Program
Justification: Very recent
changes in requirements of the State Board of Education as well as the
Commission on Teacher Credentialing will mean that students pursing a
multiple subjects credential must take the CSET subject matter examination,
even if they are enrolled in an approved subject matter program. In addition,
the Commission has made changes in the Assessment requirements (Standard
6) of the Standards for Elementary Subject Matter programs. Consequently,
the Major B program will no longer need to require a portfolio as part
of its assessment plan. This program change therefore eliminates the capstone
seminar class (where the portfolios were created) from the Major B curriculum.
This change lowers the total units in the program by one unit.

NON-SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE
Early Childhood Special Education
Credential
Justification: EDS 210A/B
was approved as part of the Early Childhood Special Education Credential
program and was inadvertently left out of the 2002-2004 catalog. EDS 233,
Student Teaching Seminar: Mild/Moderate and Moderate/Severe, has been
used up to now for the Early Childhood Special Education credential candidates.
Creating EDS 234, Directed Fieldwork Seminar: Early Childhood Special
Education, will ease advising and staffing difficulties by giving these
students a number specific to their program.

Justification: The modified
(was previously the alternate program) Level II Program has been determined
to be more effective in allowing students to pursue areas of needed professional
growth. Both programs were offered for several years. Data from students
and faculty have shown that the modified program is more effective in
meeting the Level II objectives of professional training during the first
five years of teaching under a Level I Preliminary Credential.

Department of Teacher Education
SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE
Certificate in Educational Technology
Justification: The Certificate
in Computers in the Classroom is being brought into the 21st Century and
the title updated. Three options will now be available: Option 1 is for
credentialed teachers or candidates in a current credential program; Option
2 is for credentialed teachers seek a Master of Arts in Education (Curriculum
and Instruction) with an elective area in educational technology; and
Option 3 is for anyone interested in teaching with technology, specifically
seeking the Master of Arts in Education (Educational Technology). In the
1980’, when these courses were designed, credential candidates were
not required, as a matter of course, to take classes requiring the learning
of technology. Until recently, newly credentialed teachers were only required
to complete the first course in the Certificate series (EDTE 230/231)
by their fifth year of teaching. Today, new CTC regulations require pre-service
teachers meet the 230/231 objectives during their program. Since new teachers
will have already met the objectives required in the traditional 230/231
courses (now offered in Teacher Education as EDTE 330A and EDTE 330B),
it is no longer realistic to require this course as part of the computer
certificate program. Additionally, other computer courses have not been
updated since the early 1980s. The Internet and similar technologies have
changed educational technology practice and theory and that should be
reflected in our courses. Finally, the educational technology specialist
of today, instead of being the ‘lone wolf’ concerned only
with his or her classroom, must possess significant staff development
skills in order to disseminate knowledge and lead other teachers in integrating
technology into teaching and learning.
Overview of Changes:
1. Change Title of program from Certificate
Program for Computers in the Classroom
TO Certificate Program in Educational Technology
2. All courses and titles updated to reflect
change of focus from computers only to educational technology in general,
which would include the Internet.
3. EDTE 230/231 deleted as a requirement (now a prerequisite)
4. Reduction from 15 to 12 units.
5. Elimination of elective options (EDTE 235 was an elective and is now
required). EDTE 232,
EDTE 233, and EDTE 234 are still required.
6. EDTE 232 prerequisites changed to EDTE 230 or EDTE 231; EDTE 330 and
EDTE 330B;
EDS 271A/B or equivalent.
7. EDTE 233 title changed to : Teaching Problem-Solving with Educational
Technology.
Prerequisites changed to EDTE 230 or EDTE 231; or EDTE 330 and EDTE 330B;
or equivalent.
Sentence added to update content: Includes Internet problem-solving and
principles of distributed
learning.
8. EDTE 234 title changed to Curriculum and Staff Development with Educational
Technology.
Prerequisites changed to EDTE 232 or equivalent. Sentence added to update
content: Includes the
Internet and staff development.
9. EDTE 235 title changed to Enhancing Curriculum with Multimedia and
the Web. Prerequisites
changed to EDTE 232 or equivalent. Sentence added to update content: Includes
Internet-based multimedia.

NON-SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE
Master of Science Degree in
Kinesiology
Justification: The current
Exercise Physiology option is being renamed Exercise Science. The reasons
behind the name change include the desire to appropriately represent the
course specializations being offered in the option, which extend beyond
exercise physiology. Students may also have an emphasis in biomechnaics.
The name change allows for the option listed on transcripts and diplomas
to accurately represent the students' course of study.
Department of Physics and Astronomy
NEW PROGRAM
Certificate of Scientific
Instrument Development
Justification: The Physics Department believes
that to better serve both the needs of our regional technology sector
as well as the professional preparation of students pursuing graduate
degrees in the sciences, an instrumentation certificate program is needed.
The certificate noted on a transcript will be useful to alert potential
employers and graduate admissions committees of the specialized skills
of these students. Note that one of the required courses could be taken
outside the Department of Physics and Astronomy using courses better suited
to the needs of chemists or geologists. The remaining courses in the program
are considered more general and suitable for anyone in the sciences. Except
for the shop class, all of the other courses already exist so that this
is essentially a “paper” program; although the instructors
will be mindful that their audience may be broadened in these courses
by students choosing to pursue this certificate and not majoring in a
science discipline (i.e. engineering students). However, even with regard
to the shop class, our department currently offers a shop class under
the auspices of Physics 99 and only a slight modification of this course
(Physical Science 75) will be necessary to serve the needs of this program.
A certificate in Scientific Instrument
Development is available through the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
The Scientific Instrument Development certificate program focuses not
only on using scientific instruments, but also will teach the fundamentals
of electronics, computer interfacing, and machining. Students that earn
this certificate will be prepared to design, prototype, and construct
instruments for a wide range of scientific applications. A minimum of
11 units is required.
Specific course requirements are:
(2) PHSC 75 Machine Shop Practices
(4) PHYS 115 Electronics and Instrumentation (PHYS 011C or PHYS 005B instructor
permission)
(3) PHYS 116 Advanced Electronics and Instrumentation (PHYS 115)
(2 – 4) Select one of the following:
(2) PHYS 175 Advanced Physics Laboratory (6 units of upper division physics)
(4) CHEM 133 Chemical Instrumentation (CHEM 031, CHEM 140B or CHEM 142
instructor permission, ENGL 020 or an equivalent second semester composition
course)
(3) CHEM 141 Physical Chemistry Laboratory (ENGL 020 or an equivalent
second semester composition course, CHEM 140A, CHEM 140B or CHEM 142 instructor
permission, CHEM 140B may be concurrent)
(2-3) GEOL 197 Advanced Laboratory Techniques in Geology (appropriate
upper division courses and instructor permission)
Units Required: Lower Division 2 units
Upper Division 9-11 units
Total 11-13 units
SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE
BA Physics
Justification: Add: 2
units of new course, Senior Project, Physics 191, including the possibility
that projects of a pedagogical nature may be included where appropriate.
1 unit deleted from Physics 190.
Units Required: Lower Division 37 (unchanged)
Upper Division 29 (increase of 1 unit)
Total 66 (net increase of 1 unit)
With 51+3 units of G.E., minus 9 overlap, this makes 111 required units,
leaving room for 9 units of free electives. The Physics Department believes
that the B.A. degree needs some strengthening so that these students,
who are often not headed for a Physics advanced degree program, will be
more competitive in obtaining technically oriented jobs when they leave
our degree program. Because the B.A. degree also is used in conjunction
with the Single-Subject program for students aspiring for the secondary
credential in Physics, we were careful not to increase the required units
significantly. The modifications recommended allow more flexibility in
meeting the laboratory requirement, strengthen the theoretical core where
it is most needed and appropriate, and add a senior project requirement
which will provide the kind of opportunity that employers indicate that
they are interested in seeing in our students.

of
Course.
Add: 3 units in new Electrodynamics course, Physics 136
2 units in Senior Project, Physics 191
Reduce: Physics Elective requirement, from 9 units to 6 units.
Modify: Instead of specifying Physics 115A (renumbered to 115) , allow
choice of either 115
or 145 as a lab-oriented upper division course.
Units Required: Lower Division 37
Upper Division 38 (increase of 2-1=1unit)
Total 75 (net increase of 1 unit)
With 51+3 units of G.E., minus 9 overlap, this makes 120 required units,
meaning that free
electives would go beyond university minimum grand total.
The Physics Department believes that the B.S. degree needs some strengthening
so that it is more in line with the content requirements of other B.S.
programs, particularly within the CSU system. These students are often
headed for a Physics advanced degree program and we desire that our students
be better prepared and more competitive in obtaining admission into graduate
degree programs. The modifications recommended allow more flexibility
in meeting the laboratory requirement, strengthen the theoretical core
where it is most needed and appropriate, and add a senior project requirement
which will provide the kind of opportunity that would make our graduating
students more attractive to graduate programs and employers.

is especially useful to engineering students who are interested in pursuing
graduate studies in engineering and the extra units have been added so
that these students will be more prepared and competitive when they leave

NON-SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE
BA Physical Science
Justification: Instead
of specifying Physics 115A (renumbered 115), and allow choice of either
Physics 130 or Physics 145 as the other required lab-oriented upper division
course, we propose choosing any two of the three courses Physics 115,
130, or 145. Physics 145 can be used irrespective of whether it is increased
to 4 units as per our current proposal. The Physics Department believes
that the B.A. degree in Physical Science requires more flexibility in
satisfying the upper division laboratory requirement. Because a few students
use this B. A. degree as a preparation for the secondary credential in
Physics, we were careful not to increase the required units. There is
absolutely no fiscal impact nor programmatic impact on other academic
units.
Department of Anthropology
SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE
Anthropology Major
Justification: The proposed program change
is intended to revise course requirements of the major in a manner that
better reflects current substantive and theoretical content of the discipline,
and properly prepares matriculating students for future academic or professional
goals.

SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE
Certificate in Economics Education
Justification: 1. CHANGING THE PROGRAM
DESCRIPTION TO REFLECT THE CHANGE IN CENTER DIRECTOR AND TO RE-WORD TO
MORE ACCURATELY DEPICT THE GOALS OF THE PROGRAM.
2. CHANGING THE GRADE REQUIREMENT FROM 2.75 TO A “B” IN ALL
RELEVANT COURSES.
3. CHANGING THE REQUIRED UNITS FROM 16 TO 15.
4. CHANGING THE REQUIRED CORE COURSES FROM ECON 104, ECON 106, ECON 107,
AND ECON 109 TO ECON 001A, ECON 001B, AND EITHER ECON 195 OR ECON 198.
THIS WILL BETTER PREPARE STUDENTS TO MEET THE GOALS OF THE PROGRAM.
5. DELETION OF REQUIREMENT OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT COURSE.
6. INCREASING ELECTIVE COURSE OPTIONS AND CHANGING REQUIREMENT FROM ONE
ELECTIVE COURSE TO TWO ELECTIVE COURSES.
VERY FEW STUDENTS HAVE CHOSEN TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CURRENT ITERATION
OF THE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM DUE PARTIALLY TO THE FACT THAT SOME OF THE
REQUIRED COURSES WERE NOT BEING OFFERED OFTEN ENOUGH AND PARTIALLY TO
THE FACT THAT STUDENTS WERE NOT BEING ADEQUATELY PREPARED TO TEACH ECONOMICS.

CERTIFICATE IN ECONOMICS EDUCATION
The Economics Education Certificate Program is designed to give participants
a solid foundation in economics that will enable them to teach the
subject in primary and secondary schools. The Certificate Program
is intended for (1) future or practicing teachers who desire credential
authorization to teach the one-semester economics course required
of all California public high school students; and (2) future or practicing
teachers who wish to infuse economics into other K-12 curricula.
The Certificate Program is also designed for students majoring in
Liberal Studies or the Social Science Waiver Program, since some of
the program's core courses can be used to fulfill the requirements
of these majors, while other courses can be applied towards the fifth-year
credential program.
The program consists of a minimum of 16 units. A GPA of at least 2.75
is required for all courses taken in the program. Participants who

SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE
International Affairs Graduate Program
Justification: Replacing the core course
IA 222, Seminar in Comparative Politics, with IA 230, Globalization and
International Relations. IA 230 will become a core course and IA 222 will
become an elective course. IA 230 is more appropriate as a core course
than IA 222 because it not only has a comparative thrust, but it also
covers a range of contemporary issues and problems challenging the Global
North and the Global South. In addition, the department will have difficulty
staffing IA 222 (GOVT 240) in the coming years due to retirement. The
rationale for the change, however, is fundamentally based on curricular
rather than administrative considerations.
OLD PROGRAM |
NEW PROGRAM |
| The International Affairs (IA) Graduate
Program is one of two graduate programs offered by the Department
of Government at CSUS. It is a professional two-year interdisciplinary
program of graduate studies leading to a Master of Arts degree in
International Affairs (MIA). Our students come from diverse backgrounds
and undergraduate majors, including the natural, social and engineering
sciences, as well as business and the humanities. The program has
undergone a major restructuring designed to prepare students for
a variety of careers in public and private organizations engaged
in international interactions, including governmental agencies,
the foreign service, international organizations, non-governmental
organizations, international business and trade, multinational corporations,
as well as the academy. The newly revised curriculum offers a broad
range of options and opportunities for students to concentrate on
issues and areas of their interests while obtaining a solid foundational
knowledge of international relations and international political
economy. The program is particularly suitable for students seeking
a curriculum with an applied thrust emphasizing practical training
through a combination of flexible electives and internship options
that permits tailoring the program to each student's career needs.
GRADUATE PROGRAM
Admission Requirements
Admission as a classified graduate student in International Affairs
requires:
a baccalaureate degree from an accredited four year college or university;

IA application packet;
a written statement by the applicant explaining his or her purpose
and goals in pursuing the master's degree in International Affairs;
introductory courses in micro and macro economics with a grade of
"B-" or better within seven years of program entry; students
who do not meet this admission requirement will be required to complete
equivalent coursework (ECON 001 A and B, or ECON 204) with a grade
of "B-" or better prior to taking IA 216; these courses
cannot be applied to electives;
an introductory statistics course (similar to STAT 001) with a grade
of "B-" or better within seven years of program entry;
students who do not meet this admission requirement will be required
to take STAT 001 (or SOC 101) and receive a grade of "B-"
or better prior to taking IA 214; this course cannot be applied
to electives.
Students who have deficiencies on admission requirements whose qualification
are otherwise acceptable may be granted either a conditional or
unclassified admission while they complete coursework to remove
those deficiencies. All such courses are treated as pre-requisites
and cannot be counted towards the degree requirement. No more than
six (6) units of coursework completed under unclassified status
can be applied towards the degree requirement.
ADMISSION PROCEDURES
The IA program operates on a “rolling admission” basis.

Women's Studies Program
NON-SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE
Women's Studies
Justification: We are updating our program
description. We are changing the titles of our elective categories and
realigning the courses accordingly. This reorganized list more accurately
represents the scope of our interdisciplinary courses. The following changes
will be evident in the new reorganized elective categories:
1. Title changes for elective categories
A. “Contemporary Issues and Women Crossculturally” is changed
to “Identities and Intersectionality”
B. “ Humanities: Art and Literature” is changed to “The
Humanities”
C. “Social Sciences” is changed to “Society, Politics,
and Social Movements”
D. A new category “Economic Globalization and Transnational Feminism”
has been added.
2. Some courses were taken out of old categories and placed
in new categories according to their fit.
OLD PROGRAM |
NEW PROGRAM |
The Women's Studies Program provides
students with a disciplinary model of the
study of women's contributions to culture,
knowledge, and society. A critique of social
conditions creating women's oppression is
integral to the program.
Women's Studies promotes teaching and
research in the service of eliminating
sexism, racism, and other forms of
oppression. The program is committed to
change and to integrating community
activism and academic study. The program
is based on a mixed model of course
offerings. This model combines Women's
Studies code courses with services and
cross-listed courses from other
departments. The program is grounded in
both the emerging feminist discipline and
the traditional disciplines. The mixed
model allows the Women's Studies
Program to fulfill a dual role, i.e.,
expanding and developing Women's
Studies as a bona fide field of inquiry tied
to the women's movement, while at the
same time infusing feminist scholarship
into the discipline. The program affirms
the Preamble and Purpose of the National
Women's Studies Association, which
states:
"Women's Studies owes its existence to the
movement for the liberation of women; the
women's liberation movement exists
because women are oppressed....Feminist
aims include the elimination of oppression
and discrimination on the basis of sex, race,
class, religion, disability, and sexual
orientation."
|
The field of Women’s Studies
is
dedicated to studying women’s lives
and facilitating political activism and
community participation. What makes
Women’s Studies such a dynamic field
is the conviction that theoretical
knowledge is best illuminated when
connected to political projects and
personal experiences.
Our Women’s Studies curriculum is
multi-disciplinary and focuses on
women, gender, and sexuality in
relation to other social and economic
forces such as racism, ethnocentrism,
capitalism, and militarism. Students
have opportunities to examine
women’s diverse experiences- locally,
nationally, and globally- within
feminist and social justice frameworks.
The course of study situates gender in
specific historical and cultural contexts,
and examines how our lives are shaped
by social and economic institutions,
political movements, and individual
experiences. We also place a strong
focus on community involvement and
activism, and we offer many
opportunities for internships and
service work credit.
The program affirms the Preamble and
Purpose of the National Women's Studies
Association, which states:
"Women's Studies owes its existence to the
movement for the liberation of women; the
women's liberation movement exists
because women are oppressed....Feminist
aims include the elimination of oppression
and discrimination on the basis of sex, race,
class, religion, disability, and sexual
orientation."
