College of Arts &
Sciences / Department of History – Format C Non Thesis Option in existing MA in
History – Curriculum revision to include a Non-Thesis Option in existing MA
Degree Program in History.
1.
The non-thesis
option will allow the Department of History to be competitive with other
Universities
in the region which offer opportunities for advanced study to secondary school
teachers and other professionals who are not planning to pursue work towards
the Ph.D.
2.
The non-thesis
option will allow students who wish to do so to concentrate on expanding
their
knowledge in subject areas. The
non-thesis option will still require students to demonstrate proficiency in
modern research techniques, but the addition al coursework will allow them the
opportunity to achieve greater breadth of knowledge.
3.
In the past
several years the History Department’s experience has been that many capable
Students
have not been able to complete their degrees.
With the non-thesis option there will be added flexibility, especially
to those students with heavy work of family obligations.
1.
Format C –
Non-Thesis Option in Existing MA in Criminal Justice and Criminology. Curriculum revision to include a Non-Thesis
Option in Existing MA Degree Program in Criminal Justice.
A. A Non-Thesis Option will allow students another
option to complete their degree.
Although
a thesis is an excellent tool to promote expertise in one area, a non-thesis
option would allow students to take additional courses in one or more
areas. These additional courses would
allow students to specialize or to achieve greater breadth of knowledge.
B. A Non-Thesis Option allows the department to be
competitive with other graduate
Programs
offering such an option.
1.
Submission of the
general GRE scores, and
2.
Submission of
three letters of recommendation from individuals familiar with the applicant’s
academic performance and likelihood of success in graduate school.
Revisions
in the Master of Public Management Degree
A.
change degree designation from MPM to MPA, retain MCM
B.
Modify core MPA requirements (reducing hours)
C.
Consolidate two concentrations (Urban & Regional Planning and Urban
& Regional Economics) into one (Planning and Development)
D.
Establish new concentration (Public Financial Management)
E.
Terminate three concentrations Community development, General
Administration, and Municipal Services Management
1. Modifications in

The
mission of the
Advanced understanding of
the concepts, issues and practice of
a discipline; Independent thought and the ability to generate new
knowledge;
The ability to contribute significantly to the academic community,
professions,
and society; and
Diversity among ideas, programs, and people.
1. Memorandum –
CSCI 5857, User Interface Programming – Dr. Green provided a memorandum of
support stating that the CSCI 5857 course may serve as an elective to graduate
studies in the Master of Business Administration of Master of Accountancy
programs in the
1. The Council recommended that a statement be
added to the catalog narrative in English for a writing sample of 5 to 10 pages
to include the phrase “for all students receiving departmental financial aid.”
2. Revision to
the Second Master’s Degree policy was approved as follows and will be included
in the 2002-2003 Graduate Catalog.
A student holding an earned master’s degree may qualify for a second
master’s degree by completing a minimum of 21 semester hours of ETSU graduate
work for thesis programs, or 24 hours of ETSU graduate work for non-thesis
programs, approved by the student’s advisory committee. All specific program requirements, with the
possible exception of electives or duplicative courses, must be met for the
second degree. Such requirements include
the comprehensive exam or culminating experience, such as thesis, strategic
experience, or project. In warranted circumstances, credit used to satisfy
graduate certificate requirements may be applied toward the second degree.
1. Dr. Herrin submitted a
document outlining ETSU procedures for evaluating and accepting transfer
credit. She requested input from Council
members as to the policy itself, how to advise students, and how and where the
procedures would be published. There
were some minor changes requested by the Council with the suggestion that this
policy be reviewed with graduate coordinators. It was the consensus of the
Council that the
1. Revision to existing
language regarding Evaluating Coursework for Transfer into ETSU for graduate
credit was approved for inclusion into the 2003-2004 Graduate Catalog.
2. Suggested Revision of Probation Policy and
creation of a Graduate Academic Review Board was
submitted to Council for approval.
The Council approved Herrin’s recommended membership of a subcommittee
to analyze and perhaps establish a Graduate Academic Review Board. If created, the Board will need to look at
revising the existing probation policy, which was not approved at this time.
3.
Approved revision of the Revalidation policy based upon research
findings regarding revalidation of non-institutional transfer credit at other
universities. Of ten universities
surveyed, five responded. Only one,
Virginia Tech, revalidates non-institutional transfer credit
1. The revised Guidelines for Graduate Faculty
Appointment/Reappointment and related form was approved with additional
language added to the policy under temporary appointment section to accommodate
the creation of the new Temporary Graduate Faculty Appointment/Reappointment
form.
