NONE

NA

 

 

Identify other units affected by the proposed changes:

(Attach permission from the affected units.  If no other unit is affected, enter “None”)

 

NONE

 

 

Describe the rationale for the proposed program change(s):

(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the curriculum or program.)

 

The 2 proposed changes are:

 

1 – the name is being changed to Agricultural Education to be consistent with the name of our undergraduate major in agricultural education. We no longer offer courses for the technology education component at either the undergraduate or graduate level.

 

2 – the credits are being increased by 2 credits to 33 credits because one if the required courses (AGED 648) was previously increased from 1 to 3 credits

 

Both of these items were mistakenly included in the 2008 – 2009 catalogue without being appropriately approved. Thus, the catalogue listing attached is correct.

 

 

Program Requirements: 

(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.)

 

Note: both of these items were mistakenly included in the 2008 – 2009 catalogue without being appropriately approved. Thus, the catalogue listing attached is correct.
