a. Rationale for
creation, revision, or deletion:
The department wishes to change the
degree designation for the Management, Marketing and Operations Management
degrees from the BSBA to the BS degree.
The BSBA degree designation is a
historical relic that dates back to the time in which there was one major the
Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with multiple concentrations in
Finance, Management, Marketing and Operations Management. Now that each of these is a separate major,
and the Finance major is offered in a different department, the BSBA degree
designation no longer provides a function.
Converting to the BS degree will
allow students to double major across departments including other majors with
the BS degree. The general education
requirements for all the majors in the department are consistent with the
Bachelors of Science degree campus wide.
The impact is that students will no
longer be admitted to the Business Administration degree. Students will admit into the Department of
Business Administration with one of the three majors offered in the department. Students wishing the Finance major will admit
directly to the Department of Finance.
b. Summary of program:
See Attached Catalog Revisions
This change necessitates the
following changes to the general description of the department undergraduate
majors (Page 1 of attached catalogue changes.)
1.
The second paragraph is altered to change the phrase
“Bachelor of Science in Business Administration” to “Bachelor of Science”
2.
Because the Finance students will no longer be admitted
through the Department of Business Administration the reference to the Finance
major is removed from paragraph 2.
3.
In paragraph 3 “Students seeking a Bachelor’s Degree in
Business Administration” is changed to “Students seeking a Bachelor of Science
Degree in any major within the department”
4.
Because students will now enter the department with a
declared major the fourth paragraph of the old document is removed.
5.
Last paragraph “Accounting degree candidates” is
removed because they are now by recent practice included under the clause
applying to all “students whose programs require the [BUAD] course.”

a. Rationale for
creation, revision, or deletion:
These revisions are the result of
the normal cycle of reviewing and updating our curriculum.
The changes in required courses are
designed to provide greater coherence and consistency in the skills that
Management majors should have upon graduation.
Previously our capstone course has been a seminar in management in which
the topic varied by instructor. By
moving the selected topics course to an elective and replacing it with two
other required courses we are providing more consistency in the
curriculum. We have also replaced the
required BUAD427, IT in Management course with a selection among three
information technology related courses to better meet the needs of the students
and provide more efficient staffing.
Re-titling of several courses better
reflects the learning objectives of the courses. These course changes have been submitted to
the University Course Challenge list (see separate sheet).
We propose to require that students
earn a grade of C- or better in all courses within the major and the
quantitative course requirements. This
represents a tightening of policy from our previous requirement of a C- or
better in all but one of the major courses and allowed a D in one of the Math
courses.
This document shows the degree title
as the Bachelor of Science consistent with the separate proposal to convert our
degree designation from BSBA to BS.
b. Summary of program:
See Attached Catalog Revisions (Page 2
through 4).
The focus of the changes here are
the required courses in the Management major:
1.
We have changed two course
which were previously among a list of options to required. These are BUAD421 and BUAD422 (renumbered and
renamed from BUAD385 - this change is in the challenge list).
2.
We have changed from requiring BUAD427, to allowing a
choice from among BUAD428, BUAD448 and BUEC427 (BUEC427 is now an Accounting
and MIS department courses. It is being renumbered from BUAD427. This is under
agreement with the Accounting and MIS department and is in the challenge list).
3.
BUAD429 Seminar in Organizations is no longer required,
but is among a list of options.
4.
Among the list of options is
two new courses which both have been taught previously under the BUAD429
course. These are BUAD423 - Negotiation
and Conflict Resolution and BUAD425 - Current Issues in Global Management. Both of these are in the challenge list.
5.
We have reduced the professional electives from 6
credits to 3 credits to accommodate the increase in required courses (see page
4).
6.
We now require that all courses within the major be
passed with a C- or better as opposed to the previous policy allowing one to be
less than C-
Two incidental changes are included
1.
On page 2, we now require a minimum grade of C- in Math
courses.

a. Rationale for
creation, revision, or deletion:
These revisions are the result of
the normal cycle of reviewing and updating our curriculum.
The changes in required courses are
designed to provide greater coherence and consistency in the skills that
Marketing majors should have upon graduation.
The Marketing Faculty strongly feels that every graduate should have
passed either Consumer Behavior or Advertising.
Two electives have been added to enhance the program (one specifically
for Honors students).
We propose to require that students
earn a grade of C- or better in all courses within the major and the
quantitative course requirements. This
represents a tightening of policy from our previous requirement of a C- or
better in all but one of the major courses and allowed a D in one of the Math
courses.
This document shows the degree title
as the Bachelor of Science consistent with the separate proposal to convert our
degree designation from BSBA to BS.
b. Summary of program:
See Attached Catalog Revisions (See
bottom of Page 4 through Page 7)
The focus of the changes here are
the required courses in the Marketing major:
1.
We now require Marketing
majors to take either BAUD471 or BUAD473.
Previously these courses were in a list of 5 other courses among which
the student chose two. Thus, a student
could graduate without taking either.
This assures students will have had at least one of these courses
considered essential exposure.
2.
We have reduced the professional electives from 6
credits to 3 credits to accommodate the increase in required courses (see page
6).
3.
We now require that all courses within the major be
passed with a C- or better as opposed to the previous policy allowing one to be
less than C-
Two incidental changes are included.
1.
On page 5, we now require a minimum grade of C- in Math
courses.
2.
Years ago the BSBA degree was amended to allow
literature courses in a foreign language to be taken as a Humanities
requirement. This was put into the
catalogue, but mistakenly was put under only the Management major. In practice it has for years applied to the
Marketing and Operations majors. We are
merely correcting the catalogue to include the same statement under the
Operations Management major (see page 5).
NOTE: The attached Catalogue changes
include the minors and honors program statements. There are no changes in these programs. It is included here just for completeness.

New
BUAD346 3 credits
BUAD446 3 credits

This proposal is to slightly modify
the set of courses that will be required for Operations Management majors. The new set of courses is shown above. The only difference between this new set and
the old set is that we are replacing ECON415 with BUAD449. At this time, we believe that including a
Logistics course will benefit our students more than the current Economic
Forecasting course. Forecasting methods
are already covered in other
