Bakkum, Wagner, and Ringgenberg shared a plan that they are pursuing for the College Student Development and Administration (CSDA) program. UWL is the only UW campus currently authorized to offer a graduate CSDA program. Many people who are interested in this program already are working in higher ed and cannot quit work to attend oncampus full-time, so the presenters are planning to offer the courses via distance education (on-line). This will increase access, give students experience in DE, and futuristically could be an opportunity for persons in other countries to learn about this field (higher ed lacks adequate student services in many countries). The program requirements would not change. The program would be designed in a cohort format, beginning in a summer and going year-round, finishing in two years. Partnerships would be developed with other institutions for the internship/practica experiences. Faculty will learn about DE/on-line program development in order to convert courses. The oncampus program will continue as it currently exists.
The group will present a formal request for approval in the near future.
Other new business: Schumacher informed committee that Teacher Education Governing Council Bylaws state the following as its role in the curriculum approval process:
“Review new programs and program changes for teacher education, and approve advancement of proposals to the appropriate committees. “
Meeting adjourned at 4:20 p.m. The next GCC meeting is set for March 1, 2005.
