1.
CRJ Leadership and Management Certificate
Chris
McFarlin stated that the Criminal Justice Advisory Committee feels this
certificate will better prepare entry-level supervisors for supervisory
positions. This certificate is 18 credit hours and is composed of three
Criminal Justice courses and three Management courses, which all can be used
towards the CRJ degree.
The
effective term will be Fall 2016. Chris
will provide Sarah with justification, which she will forward to Galen for the
November 30th meeting.
The
Committee voted to approve the certificate.
2.
SOC 233 and PSC 225 (new courses)
SOC
233 (Social Issues in Sport) is a Social Science elective for Associate in Arts
and Associate in Science majors. The course is transferable to Clemson as an
elective course. There are no prerequisites required and will be offered as a
lecture-only course. This course is
currently not in the CAC and will be sent to the state for approval. The effective term is Fall 2016.
PSC
225 (Political Parties, Campaigns, and Elections) is also a Social Science
elective for Associate in Arts and Associate in Science majors. This course is transferable to Clemson and USC
as an elective course. There are no
prerequisites required and will be offered as a lecture-only course. The course is currently not in the CAC and
will also have to go before the state for approval. The effective term is Fall 2016.
The
Committee voted to approve both new courses.
3.
Pre-Pharmacy
Program Change
Donna
will meet with Christy Lawless to add the special restriction. The Committee voted to approve the AHS 180
new course.
The
Committee suggested renaming “First Summer Semester” to “Third Semester” and
rename the proceeding semesters accordingly.
It was also suggested to switch ENG 101 to the first semester (currently
listed in the second semester) due to ENG 101 being a prerequisite to PSY 201
and move MAT 130 to the second semester.
The Committee voted to approve the Pre-Pharmacy program change.
4.
MLT 130 Prerequisite Change and Medical Laboratory
Program Change
Medical
Lab Technology is now required by NAACLS (the Medical Lab Technology
accreditation) to include CHM 105 into the curriculum. The program would like to replace BIO 101
with BIO 105. They would also like to
add CHM 105 and make it a prerequisite to MLT 130.
The
Committee noted that there will need to be justification for the change in
credit hours. There will need to send
the justification to Sarah so the program configuration can be changed in
WIDS.
The
Committee suggested tabling the changes until the January 2016 meeting.
5.
Extended Duty
Dental Assisting Program Change
The
advisory committee suggested changing from BIO 105 to AHS 104, which has physiology
and is a good stepping stone to DAT 112.
AHS 104 will need to be a prerequisite to DAT 112. The Committee suggested moving ENG 155, PSY
103, and MAT 155 to the first semester, along with AHS 104.
The
Committee suggested tabling the changes until the January 2016 meeting.
6.
IDS 210 –
Special Topics for Honors
Dr.
Wheeler recently spoke with John concerning the IDS 210 course. There are currently only six students
interested in the course. This course
would be set as a platform for other honors courses. This course would transfer to Clemson as an
elective. The Spring 2016 topic is
“Sociology in Sports”.
The
Committee voted to not approve the IDS 210 course.
The meeting adjourned at 2:00
p.m.
