Re: Graduate Curriculum Committee Year End Report

The Graduate Curriculum Committee satisfactorily fulfilled its duties and responsibilities as stated in the faculty senate committee charge letter for the 2007-2008 academic year. This committee carefully reviewed and approved several curricular changes, primarily related to updated prerequisites, credit hours, and course descriptions for C-S, SOC, PSY, the PTS Doctor of Physical Therapy, MTH, I-S, ESS, SAA, BIO, ECO, and O-T courses.

The committee also took action in approving new courses in MTH (Applied Multivariate Statistics), I-S (Information Security Management), O-T (International Perspectives in Occupational Therapy with a Fieldwork Seminar; Occupations and Interventions: Pediatrics II), ECO (Macroeconomic Policies in Global Economy), PSY (Research and Program Evaluation in Schools), REC (Outdoor Education; Outdoor Pursuits), EDS (13 new courses in the ME-PD program!). The committee dedicated itself to the accuracy of LX forms brought before it as related to the actual course content and parameters.

The committee was generally well-attended by its members and consultants and is particularly grateful for the excellent and dedicated service of our new registrar Dr. Chris Bakkum.
