Notifications Management Committee Minutes

February 17, 2005


Present:  Karen Burke, Nancy Disbrow, Gregory Kowalczyk, Richard Kustin, Kathy Mauro, Michele Vancour (recorder)
 

NUR 457

Linda Wagner attended this meeting to answer questions related to her new course proposal (previously submitted and reviewed), NUR 457, titled Advanced Clinical Concepts: Selected Health Issues for Practice.  Following the committee's recommendations, Linda set junior status or departmental permission as the prerequisite for this course.  Additional recommendations were presented: remove '2010' from the Healthy People reference in the course description to avoid course revision in 41/2 years, and removal of section in outline regarding 'examinations and quizzes' as this is not part of student evaluation for this course.

Motion passed 6-0

MIS 365

A revised course proposal was received and reviewed for MIS 365: Systems Thinking.  The revision involves changing the course title from Management Techniques for MIS to Systems Thinking as well as changing the course prerequisite from ECO 221 to MGT 300.  The committee asks that Management and MIS notify Economics of this change.

Motion - Karen Burke, Second - Gregory Kowalczyk
Motion passed 5-0 (one committee member left)


MIS/BS in Business Management

The committee received a revised program proposal for Major in Business Administration, specialization in Management Information Systems.  Review of the proposals revealed an increase in credits from 122 to 124 that major students would need to graduate from this program.  [University Requirements = 41 credits, Major Requirements = 61 credits, Elective Requirements = 19 credits, Professional Requirement = 3 credits]  The committee recommends that Management/MIS reduce their electives by two (2) credits.  Also, Management/MIS needs to reflect this change in elective credits on the CPR form along with the removal of MIS 361 under item 34 as MIS 361 is now a major requirement.  The committee also recommends that Management/MIS obtain letters from Accounting, Marketing and Economics since they are adding courses in these departments as required elective options.

Motion - Kathy Mauro, Second - Richard Kustin
Motion passed 5-0

PCH 499

The committee received and reviewed a revised course proposal for PCH 499: Independent Study.  The revision involves changing the credits from three (3) to a variable one to six (1- 6) credits.  The committee recommends that Public Health add a non-specific course description to the course catalog for student information. The proposal needs a signature from the School Curriculum Committee.
