BAE-PreK/ Primary Ed. Major

Summary of Change:
All appropriate committees have approved the proposal for the establishment of a Bachelor of Arts Degree in PreK/Primary (age 3 to grade 3) education within the COEHS. Currently, PreK/Primary is a track within Elementary Education and is therefore held to many of the same requirements as the Elementary Education Teacher Education program. It was proposed that this program stay within the COEHS, but be removed from Elementary Education major as a track and become a stand-alone degree program. This will allow the program to make necessary changes on the prerequisite courses and courses as mandated by requirements by the Florida Department of Education.

American Sign Language/ Deaf Studies Minor

Summary of Change:
Over the years, many students from other colleges and majors have requested a minor that would allow them to focus on learning American Sign Language and Deaf Culture. With more than two million deaf, hard of hearing, late deafened and deaf-blind citizens in Florida alone, there is a great need for individuals in all professions to be able to communicate using American Sign Language and to be knowledgeable about and sensitive to the needs of both the Deaf culture and the deaf community. This new minor has been designed after similar minors in other foreign languages here at UNF and would have two categories, minor prerequisites (this includes two courses, ASL I and ASL II) and minor requirements (this includes 5 courses, 4 in ASL and 1 in Deaf Culture). The minor itself is 15 credit hours total and there are 8 credits as a part of the "minor pre-requisite" category. Creating this minor uses 4 current ASL courses and includes 3 new courses (appropriate APC 1 forms are attached). The new courses include ASL Structure, Fingerspelling, Numbers, and Deaf Culture. The three new courses would also be used in the newly proposed BS degree in Sign Language Interpreting.

BS-Sport Management MajorSport Management Track

Summary of Change:
Total number of credit hours will remain 120
The following courses will be removed from the sport management track prerequisites (total number
of credit hours in this area will go from 28 to 21):
BSC 2085C: Anatomy and Physiology with lab (4 hours)
PET 2622 Care and Prevention of Sport Injuries (3 hours)
The following courses are being added to the required sport management core (total number of
credit hours in this area will go from 27 to 30):
SPM 2XXX Introduction to Sport Management (3 hours)
SPM 3XXX Sport Facility Management (3 hours)
SPM 3XXX Sport Governance (3 hours)
EDA 4XXX Resource Development for Non-Profit Organizations (3 hours)
APC 1 forms have been submitted for all new courses.
The following courses have been removed from the required sport management core section of the POS (these courses remain as options in the electives area should any student want to take them):
PET 3351C Physiology of Exercise (3 hours)
PET 3311 Kinesiology/Motor Behavior (3 hours)
PEO 4004 Theory/Practice of Coaching (3 hours)
Three (3) hours have been removed from the electives area of the sport management track POS which reduces the number of hours from nine (9) to six (6).
Rationalization:
The new courses that are being added to the POS reflect new faculty expertise as well as anticipated requirements in the accreditation requirements of the North American Society for Sport Management/National Association for Physical Education and Sport (NASSM/NASPE). In addition, faculty feel it is beneficial to have a "core" of common courses that both tracks within the degree are required to take. This will improve our ability to assess student outcomes in the program.
Anatomy and Physiology with lab (BSC 2085C) is the prerequisite for the course PET 3351 (Physiology of Exercise) which we are removing from the required courses within the upper division program of study. We no longer see the need for students, in this track, to continue to be required to take this course or PET 2622 (Care and Prevention of Sport Injuries).

MED- EDLS Major EDA Track

Summary of Change:
This request modifies the Educational Leadership MED / EDA program of studies in the following way: EDA 6945, Practicum in Educational Leadership, is changed from its present status as an elective to a required course. With this change, three semester hours of EDA 6945 will be required in order to complete the degree program.
EDA 6945 is a variable credit course (1 - 6 semester hours). The completion of 3 semester hours is required to complete the degree program. The student may elect to repeat up to 3 additional semester hours as a major elective with program sponsor approval. Six semester hours is the maximum number of credit hours that may be applied toward completion of the degree program. Three semester hours is the maximum that may be completed during fall and spring semesters and up to six semester hours may be completed during the summer "C" term.
This change is necessary in order to provide our students with structured and supervised leadership experiences in school and/or school system settings that will allow them to apply concepts and methods presented to them during their coursework and reflect on their own leadership strengths and weaknesses. The change will also provide a means of assessing program outcomes, which is a critical need for the program.
The proposed change does not change the total semester hour requirement (39 semester hours) for the degree, but does restructure the number of required courses and electives. Following the change the requirements will include 6 semester hours of Core Requirements (no change), Major Requirements will be increased from 21 semester hours to 24 semester hours, and Major Electives will be reduced from 12 semester hours to 9 semester hours, for a total of 39 semester hours.
