In order to meet the
national Board of Behavior Analyst Certification approved program requirements,
a 1 to 3 variable credit-hour course will be created (EEX 6xxx: Ethics in
Applied Behavior Analysis and Educational Settings) and included as a major
course requirement. This will require a shift in major course requirements
(from 24 to 27) and program electives (from 6 to 3) without changing total
program hours.
Additionally, changes in course titles and descriptions have been made to
better reflect current professional language. A summary of those changes are:

Summary of the Changes:
Department faculty in
Foundations and Secondary Education (FSE) are initiating a Master of Arts (MAT)
degree with a major in Secondary Education to serve as the degree program for
the Jacksonville Teacher Residency candidates as well as individuals who
possess a baccalaureate degree and desire to teach at the secondary levels (grades
6-12). The MAT program will allow individuals who are not certified to become
effective, certified teachers in the fields of English/Language Arts, Foreign
Language, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Currently, the Master of Education
(MED) program within FSE is operating under the incorrect Classification of
Instructional Programs (CIP) code. The current CIP is applicable for a Master
of Arts degree, not the MED. Upon consultation with Academic Affairs/Director
for Academic Programs and Accreditation Liaison, department faculty were
advised to amend the MED to reflect the proposed MAT, hence this APC
application. Department faculty will initiate a request to plan for a new
degree in Fall 2015 for the MED program. These changes will align FSE graduate programs
with the proper CIP codes. The degree remains at 36 hours.
