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”)

None

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

The addition of MEDT 200 (The Language of Medicine) will equip the students with the medical terminology necessary for effective oral and written communication with other health care professionals.

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.)

Revising curriculum:

1. Add MEDT 200 The Language of Medicine (3 credits) as a required course. It is important for graduates of medical laboratory science programs to be able to interpret medical literature and to be able to communicate with other members of the health professions. Having an understanding of medical terminology early in the curriculum will help students to improve their communication skills and to better comprehend scientific and medical course materials. Until recently, a medical terminology course was not available at the University of Delaware. Now that the course is available, it should be a valuable part of the medical technology curriculum.

2. The breadth requirements have been revised to reflect the new University breadth requirements.

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.)

Three credit Pathways Course may be substituted for one Breadth Requirement.			Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Technology		3
			From the list of University breadth courses, students are required to take 3 credits of Creative Arts and Humanities, 3 credits of History and Cultural Change, and 3 credits of Social and Behavioral Sciences from 3 different subject areas, earning a minimum grade of “C-” in each course. Students may not use a cross-listed course from a subject area that has already been used or a course in the subject area of their major, e.g., MEDT course to satisfy the University’s breadth requirements. An additional 9 credits, 3 credits of Creative Arts and Humanities, 3 credits of History and Cultural Change and 3 credits of Social and Behavioral Sciences, must be taken to meet the requirements for the major; subject areas may be from the same discipline. The completion of BISC 207, CHEM 103, or CHEM 104 at a C- or higher satisfies the University breadth requirement for Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Technology. One of the courses taken to satisfy the 21 credits of breadth requirements must also satisfy the multicultural course requirement.
