VIII.
BRIEF NARRATIVE EXPLAINING WHAT YOU ARE HOPING TO ACCOMPLISH WITH YOUR
CURRICULAR CHANGES, identifying the relationship of the proposed changes to other planning
processes (i.e., Academic Program Review, Student Outcomes Assessment, strategic planning, and
licensure or accreditation/re-accreditation requirements). Explain how you know these changes are needed,
based on those planning processes. (e.g., Based on what we learned through assessing our _____ learning
goal for the major, showing that we needed more emphasis on _______, we are restating the major to add
some possible electives and change the required core from 9 to 12 credits with the addition of a newly
created core course.)
Changes to the Early Childhood MAE are the result of the need for students to take a minimum of 5 credit hours
in the program to receive financial aid, as well as the need to provide seminars to support writing the final
research papers.
Requiring a 2.5 GPA to declare a major in C&I will reduce the load on COE Advising in that numbers of students
who declare will be reduced when they initially enroll at UNI.
New state standards are being implemented that no longer require the Nutrition course.
Course edits to titles and descriptions are updates.
