UNIVERSITY FACULTY SENATE FORMS
Academic Program Approval
This form is a routing document for the approval of new
and revised academic programs. Proposing department should
complete this form. For more
information, call the Faculty Senate Office at 831-2921.
Submitted by: Kali Kniel phone number 302-831-6513
Department: Animal and Food Sciences email address: kniel@udel.edu
Action: Revise Animal and Food Science Major
(ANFS)
(Example: add major/minor/concentration, delete
major/minor/concentration,
revise major/minor/concentration,
academic unit name change, request for permanent status, policy change,
etc.)
Effective term: 12F (use format
04F, 05W)
Current degree: BS
(Example: BA, BACH, BACJ, HBA,
Proposed change leads to the
degree of: BS
(Example: BA, BACH,
Proposed name: unchanged, Animal and Food
Sciences
Proposed new name for revised
or new major / minor / concentration / academic unit
(if applicable)
Revising or Deleting:
Undergraduate major / Concentration:
Revise Animal and Food
Sciences major, degree BS
(Example:
Applied Music – Instrumental degree BMAS)
Note: all graduate studies
proposals must include an electronic copy of the Graduate Program Policy
Document, highlighting the changes made to the original policy document.
List new courses required for
the new or revised curriculum. How do they support the overall program
objectives of the major/minor/concentrations?
None. Please note that a new
course ANFS 426 was proposed an accepted by the faculty senate last year for
ANFS 426 Equine Management, but this course was not changed on our check-out
sheet and the name was not corrected in the catalogue.
(Be aware that approval of the curriculum is dependent upon these
courses successfully passing through the Course Challenge list. If there are no
new courses enter “None”)
Explain, when appropriate,
how this new/revised curriculum supports the 10 goals of undergraduate
education: http://www.ugs.udel.edu/gened/
Proposed changes will not affect how the curriculum
supports the 10 goals.
Identify other units affected
by the proposed changes: We do not believe that there will be an impact on the
Nutrition or Biology departments with the courses that have been added as
options for graduation with the ANFS major. As described below in the
rationale, the changes being proposed will make this ANFS major more flexible
for the couple of students each year that may want more flexibility in the
curriculum but will maintain a Food Science focus. These students would
normally be taking NTDT 200, 220 and BISC 300 under the Food Science (FOSC)
major; therefore, really no additional students will be taking these courses,
but the same number of students will be taking the courses just under different
majors within the Animal and Food Sciences department.
(Attach permission from the affected units. If no other unit is affected, enter “None”)
Describe the rationale for
the proposed program change(s):
The following changes are being proposed for the ANFS
major in order to make this major more flexible for students with a Food
Science (FOSC) interest that cannot be successful in the Chemistry and Physics
courses required for the FOSC major. The ANFS major was originally proposed as
a major that integrates both animal and food sciences; however we have seen
that up until now the students that most likely benefit from this integrated
major of ANFS are those with an animal science interest. With the proposed
changes the ANFS major will be able to meet the needs of the largest amount of
students. In saying this, however, it should be noted that it is not
anticipated that more than 2-3 students will choose ANFS over FOSC, which means
the impact on the other courses that are already represented in the FOSC major
(NTDT 200, NTDT 220-for minors, and BISC 300) will not feel additional burdens
by these changes (as noted above).
The revisions can be discussed in four points.
1.
For flexibility for students
with a food science focus, NTDT 200 and NTDT 220 have been added as options
instead of ANFS 251 and ANFS 252 nutrition courses. Students majoring in ANFS
with an animal science interest will take ANFS 251 and 252 as these are
pre-requisites for many core ANFS courses.
2.
The course ANFS426 was added last year and passed through
faculty senate; however, the changes were not made to the catalogue.
3.
The addition of the options of BISC 300 and BISC 276 were
added as options to what was previously termed the physiology area.
Substitutions are already being made for BISC 276 which is why this was added,
especially for students interested in human medicine (1-2 each year). BISC 300
is a part of the FOSC major and we anticipate that the 2-3 students in ANFS interested
in FOSC will still take this course.
4.
In the current version of the ANFS major students are limited
in their choices of ANFS 400 level courses and substitutions may be made for
other courses as they are offered or developed. So that students can have the
greatest flexibility in choosing courses that match their interest we have
proposed to remove the specific courses and replace it with “A minimum of 6
credits from 300 or above level approved catalogue courses (excluding 366, 399,
464, 466)”. The excluded courses are courses for teaching
assistant credit, independent study, and internship credit.
(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the
curriculum or program.)
Program Requirements: The proposed revisions are made in red on the attached
document compared to the current check sheet.
(Show the new or revised curriculum as it should appear in the
Course Catalog. If this is a revision,
be sure to indicate the changes being made to the current curriculum and include a side-by-side comparison of
the credit distribution before and after the proposed change.)

on course substitutions or waivers if necessary. All changes to
Departmental/Major requirements must be approved in writing by the
Department Chair. All changes to
University/College requirements require approval of the Assistant Dean for
Student Services. ŕNOTES: RE:
University Breadth Requirements Students may not use a course that is cross-listed with a
subject area that has already been used to satisfy a university
breadth requirement. Students enrolled in a single major may not
satisfy the breadth requirement with courses in the subject area
of that major (e.g. chemistry majors may not use CHEM courses). Students who are enrolled in more than one major or
degree are allowed to meet the University breadth requirement by
taking approved breadth courses from within the subject areas of
their majors. RE:
College Breadth Requirements A minimum of nine credits from any three different
subject area codes, outside the subject area codes of the student’s major,
offered by the Departments in the College of Agriculture and Natural
Resources. The exceptions would be any course that states in the course description
that it cannot be used to satisfy the College breadth requirements, special
problems, research, internships, first year experience, seminars, and
similar courses. Other: It is possible that courses taken to fulfill Major
requirements also may be used to fulfill University or College
requirements; check your catalog and with your advisor for
restrictions. In the case that one course fulfills two requirements, be
advised that the credits count only ONCE toward the overall
total. For example, using course and the History and Cultural Change breadth requirement may be allowed; however, only 3 credits are counted toward the degree total.
