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)?

 (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/

 

Supports goal #5 (Understand the diverse ways of thinking that underlie the search for knowledge in the arts, humanities, sciences and social sciences.) by expanding the use of more areas in the University Breadth Requirements.

 

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.)

 

1.      Removing departmental breadth requirements eliminates the confusion of having both departmental and university breadth requirements. 

 

2.      Removing the requirement for 6 additional credits in the Humanities category (above the University minimum) also provides more flexibility in the curriculum.

 

3.      Requiring NTDT 305 Nutrition in the Life Span rather than a choice in the NTDT Restrictive Elective is needed for consistency in this NTDT requirement across all 3 nutrition majors.  This change is being driven by the change in the Dietetics major needed to meet program accreditation standards of the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education

 

 

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.)
