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)?
(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”)
No new courses are required for
the revised curriculum. However, one new course will be an option to meet
requirements in the curriculum. SOCI349/HDFS349: Aging and Society will be an
option to meet the
Developmental Electives requirement. See below for justification.
Explain,
when appropriate, how this new/revised curriculum supports the 10 goals of undergraduate education: http://www.ugs.udel.edu/gened/
The proposed program changes will enhance the existing
ways in which the Clinical Services concentration within the Human Services major supports
the 10 goals of undergraduate education. In particular, the addition of classes as options to meet the current
requirements will enhance students’ ability to think critically and solve problems (Goal #2) in a
broader variety of topic areas. These classes will also help students to attain skills
in oral and written communication and the use of information technology (Goal #1).
Identify other units affected by the proposed changes:
(Attach
permission from the affected units. If no other unit is affected, enter “None”)
HDFS349: Aging & Society is
cross-listed with SOCI349. Permission to add this course as one of the options for a developmental
elective from Ronet Bachman, Chair of Sociology and Criminal Justice, is attached.
Describe the rationale for the proposed program change(s):
(Explain
your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the curriculum or program.)
1.
The majority of the changes involve breadth requirements and will align
with the requirements adopted
by the Faculty Senate that will be implemented beginning in the fall of 2010.
2.
HDFS 101: Human Services and Cultural Competence is being removed as a
required course. Cultural
competence is a critical skill for the field of human services. However, the
material in HDFS 101 is redundant with material across the curriculum,
including material in HDFS 202, HDFS 235, HDFS 230, and HDFS 422. Students will instead
be required to take UNIV101 or another FYE course, consistent with university requirements.
3.
The addition of HDFS 403: Adults w/ Intellectual/Dev Disabilities and
HDFS 410: The Hospitalized
Child as options for meeting the At-Risk elective will broaden the available
options for
students interested in the fields of disabilities and of healthcare. HDFS 403
is currently listed as
an option as a developmental elective. However, a pending course revision will
change this course to emphasize the needs of adults with disabilities. The
revised course will thus be a better fit as an At-Risk elective.
4.
The addition of HDFS349/SOCI349: Aging & Society as an option for a
developmental elective will increase the available options for students interested in working
with senior citizens. This is consistent with the Department’s emphasis on human development across
the lifespan. Moreover, as the U.S. population ages, an understanding of issues in the field of
aging will be important in providing services and developing policies.
5.
All Human Services majors, in both Human Services, concentrations are
now required to take the honor's capstone section of HDFS 422 (3 credits) during their senior
year. When this honor's capstone section of HDFS 422 (3 credits) was added, the honor's section
of the 2-credit HDFS 465 should have been deleted from the Clinical Services Concentration
requirements. However, this was not submitted last year. The 2-credit HDFS 465 seminar is no longer
offered with an honor's section and is not required for completion of the Honor's degree. This
change will correct this error, and make the requirements for the Human Services Honor's students
the same for each concentration.
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.)

Ronet,
>Basically,
our students are required to take one or two advanced specialty courses in human development, depending on their concentration. There
are currently
six other courses that can meet that requirement. We certainly don't anticipate more than a handful of students
in any given semester taking the course. And obviously, SOCI students should
have priority. I think there might be ways in the computer system to set that
up???

Dear Donald,
I think it makes a lot of sense to drop HDFS 465 as a requirement for your
HD in part because it's a 2 credit course and there will always be issues with
making it 3 credits and Honors to fulfill the HD capstone requirement.
