Department of Design
NON-SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE
Bachelor of Arts in Photography
PHOT 164 to be added to elective options for Photography
Majors. The Department of Design is requesting the reinstatement of this
course. Offering PHOT 164 will help to assure NASAD accreditation for
the Photography major. It was taught from 1974 through 1992 and was discontinued
primarily due to a lack of available faculty to cover courses in the Photography
Program. With two new full-time hires we have sufficient faculty to cover
all of our offerings. In addition to lab and studio courses, photography
majors need additional background in the history of photography. Understanding
the impact of images in the context of culture broadens student's understanding
of major photographic themes and movements.
COLLEGE OF SOCIAL SCIENCES & INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES
Asian Studies Program
SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE
Asian Studies
The Asian Studies Major is an inter-disciplinary major that
was created by a number of faculty from different departments in the late
1980s. Since that time a number of faculty teaching Asia related courses
have retired and a new group of faculty with expertise on Asia have been
hired. Though there is some overlap between what the founding faculty
offered and what the new faculty teach, there are a number of courses
from the original major no longer offered as regularly as they once were
and there are many new courses that have been developed by the new faculty
which need to be incorporated into the major. The major revisions being
proposed also take into account the recommendations of the last program
review, most notably the addition of a senior capstone course. The new
major contains a greater breadth of offerings. It removes a concentration
that never really worked, while adding two new concentrations that will
allow the major to appeal to an even broader range of students and that
reflect the demographic interests and changes of the Sacramento region.
