NONE

 

We are revising the existing Major by adding two new languages, but we are not creating new courses. We are using courses that already exist in our curriculum.

 

For the History component we are adding two courses to the general history requirement, allowing students to choose between Western Civilization and World History. The courses added are:

 

HIST 103 World History I

HIST 104 World History II

 

For the History component we are adding the following courses; students select two courses at the 300-level dealing with countries that use the chosen foreign language:

 

Chinese History

HIST365 TOPICS IN ASIAN HISTORY

HIST 368 MODERN CHINA, 1600-1920’S

HIST369 CHINA SINCE 1900

HIST366 INDEPENDENT STUDY

 

Japanese History

HIST365 TOPICS IN ASIAN HISTORY

HIST370 HISTORY OF MODERN JAPAN

HIST372 JAPAN’S GLOBAL POP CULTURE

HIST366 INDEPENDENT STUDY

 

For the Foreign Languages component we are adding the following courses in Chinese and Japanese language, literature, and culture:

 

Chinese Language and Literature

FLLT 321

Chinese Literature in Translation

FLLT 331

Introduction to Chinese Films

FLLT 330

Special Topics in Chinese Literature

CHIN 355

Special Topics in Literature

 

CHIN 455                  Selected Authors, Works, and Themes

Three CHIN courses at the 200, 300 or 400-level

 

Japanese Language and Literature

FLLT 328

Japanese Literature in Translation

FLLT 338

Inquiry into Japanese Films

FLLT 380

Special Topics in Japanese Literature

JAPN 355

Special Topics in Literature

JAPN 455                 Selected Authors, Works, and Themes

Three JAPN courses at the 200, 300 or 400-level

 

 

Explain, when appropriate, how this new/revised curriculum supports the 10 goals of undergraduate education: http://www.ugs.udel.edu/gened/

 

Students in this major will acquire knowledge and skills that support 8 of the 10 goals of undergraduate education. The study of the history and the culture of a specific linguistic region in the world support goals #2 (Learn to think critically to solve problems), #5 (Understand the diverse ways of thinking that underlie the search for knowledge in the arts, humanities, sciences and social sciences), #6 (Develop the intellectual curiosity, confidence, and engagement that will lead to lifelong learning) #8 (Develop the ability to integrate academic knowledge with experiences that extend the boundaries of the classroom), and # 10 (Develop an international perspective in order to live and work effectively in an increasingly global society). The study of a foreign language will support goals: #1 (Attain effective skills in oral and written communication, and the use of information technology), and #3 (Be able to work and learn both independently and collaboratively).

 

 

Identify other units affected by the proposed changes:

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

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

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

 

During the past academic year (2011-12) the Undergraduate Studies Committees of the History Department and the Foreign Languages Department carried out an evaluation of the status of the History/Foreign Language Major. This major was created several years ago when the foreign languages in highest demand and the inventory of courses offered by both Departments were different than what they are at present. In the evaluation process we discovered that in the last five years the largest portion of HIST/FLLT majors were in History/Spanish and History/Classics, in a lesser number in French, German, and Russian. At the same time we have been noticing an increase in the demand of the study of Chinese and Japanese history and languages.  Based on these findings, both Committees discussed the need to introduce changes to adapt the major to the new trends in history and foreign language study as well as the availability of active courses in the inventory of  both Departments.

 

 

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.)
