Course and curriculum issues
On behalf of the Academic Affairs committee, Bill Zhang, chair, proposed approval of the following
course and curriculum items. The motion passed.
Expedited Course Changes
FROM:
HORT 555. Fundamentals of Landscape Irrigation Design. (2) II, odd years. The
goal of this course is to learn landscape irrigation design for efficient use of our
water resources. This course will discuss basic hydraulics, sprinkler performance,
plot plans, sprinkler layout, pipe sizing and zoning, and electrical considerations
of the design process. Two hours lecture and two hours lab a week, last 11 weeks
of the semester. Pre-req.: HORT 550 or two years of irrigation experience related
field work approved by the instructor. K-State 8 – none.
TO:
HORT 640. Horticultural Problems - Fundamentals of Landscape Irrigation
Design. (2) II, odd years. The goal of this course is to learn landscape irrigation
design for efficient use of our water resources. This course will discuss basic
hydraulics, sprinkler performance, plot plans, sprinkler layout, pipe sizing and
zoning, and electrical considerations of the design process. Two hours lecture and
two hours lab a week, last 11 weeks of the semester. Pre-req.: HORT 550 or two
years of irrigation-related field work experience approved by the instructor. KState 8 – none.
RATIONALE:
Because this course is by design expected to have low enrollment to facilitate oneon-one instruction, it rarely meets enrollment minimums. Changing to a titled
Problems course better reflects our intent and, at the 640 level, makes it available
to the occasional graduate student seeking content of the course.
IMPACT:
No impacts to other departments.
EFFECTIVE DATE: Spring 2015
FROM
EDCEP 752. College Student Athletes. (3). S. Study of college student
athletes. Topics include the role of intercollegiate athletics, pressures and
challenges on student athletes, student development theory, life skills
programming, National Collegiate Athletics Association policy, diversity,
and gender issues.
TO
EDCEP 854. College Student Athletes. (3). On campus in Summer and
online the semesters vary. Study of college student athletes. Topics include
the role of intercollegiate athletics, pressures and challenges on student
athletes, student development theory, life skills programming, National
Collegiate Athletics Association policy, diversity, and gender issues.
IMPACT
None.
RATIONALE
This course is intended to be taught as a graduate course in the MS in
Counseling and Student Development and the MS in Academic Advising.
The 800 level of this course reflects advanced graduate study and is
consistent with the 800-level courses in the program. As a result, the
change from EDCEP 752 to EDCEP 854 is proposed. A change was made
in the terms the course is offered, as the course is part of the online
master’s program.
EFFECTIVE DATE Spring 2014
FROM
EDCEP 761. Intercollegiate Athletics and the College Student Athlete. (3).
II. Examines polices and procedures of the NCAA, roles and
responsibilities within a department of intercollegiate athletics. Topics
include marketing, fundraising, external relations, sports information,
coaching, academic support, among others.
TO
EDCEP 864. Current Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics. (3). On campus in
the Spring and online the semesters vary. Examines polices and procedures
of the NCAA, roles and responsibilities within a department of
intercollegiate athletics, and relevant research. Topics include marketing,
fundraising, external relations, sports information, coaching, academic
support, among others.
IMPACT
None.
RATIONALE

Counseling and Student Development and the MS in Academic Advising.
The 800 level of this course reflects advanced graduate study and is
consistent with the 800-level courses in the program. As a result, the
change from EDCEP 761 to EDCEP 864 is proposed. In addition, minor
revisions were made in the title and description to be reflective of the
content. A change was made in the terms the course is offered as the
course is part of the online master’s program.
EFFECTIVE DATE: Spring 2014
Non-Expedited New Courses
ADD:
DMP 963. Advanced Molecular Biology of Foodborne Pathogens. (2) 1. This
advanced graduate course will describe biochemical and molecular biology
mechanisms governing how foodborne pathogens cause disease. Structural
biology, enzymology, and host targets of virulence factors expressed by bacteria,
viruses, and parasites will be discussed. A combination of both lectures and group
discussion will be used. Pr.: DMP 712, DMP 860, or DMP 910 Undergraduate
cell biology, protein biochemistry, or immunology is recommended and should be
an M.S. or Ph.D. student in Veterinary Medicine, biochemistry or biology.
Instructor permission required.
RATIONALE:
Effective understanding, treatment, and prevention of infectious diseases
requires thorough comprehension of the fundamental molecular
mechanisms employed by bacterial, viral, and parasitic pathogens. While
currently available courses provide a good introduction to general
infectious disease mechanisms and phenotypes, a significant limitation of
the current curriculum is a course that provides detailed instruction
regarding the structural biology and enzymology of pathogen virulence
factors. This proposed course will fill such a void. Using a combination of
lectures and group discussion of important experimental data, enrolled
students will have the opportunity both to integrate what they have learned
in introductory courses and to gain an appreciation for the common
molecular themes governing the interactions between pathogens and their
infected hosts.
Impact (i.e. if this impacts another college/unit): None
EFFECTIVE DATE:
ADD:
Spring 2014
DMP 971. Seminal Papers in Molecular Biology. (1) S. This discussion course
will improve graduate student communication, scientific reasoning, and data
analysis skills. Students will gain familiarity with the seminal papers of molecular
biology that resolved key issues of the central dogma. Key breakthroughs in
molecular evolution, microbial genetics, and biotechnology will be discussed.. Pr.:
BIO 670, DMP 712, or DMP 860. Should be registered as an M.S. or Ph.D.
student in Veterinary Medicine, biochemistry or biology.
RATIONALE:
This discussion course will improve graduate student communication,
scientific reasoning, and data analysis skills. Graduate students will gain
familiarity with the seminal papers of molecular biology that resolved key issues
of the central dogma. Key papers describing breakthroughs in molecular
evolution, microbial genetics, and biotechnology will also be discussed. Seminal
work leading to eventual Nobel Prizes in Physiology/Medicine and Chemistry will
be highlighted. An important component of the course is to improve the ability of
graduate students to apply critical thinking to the analysis of classic work and raw
experimental data.

Rationale: We changed the mission of the program to reflect our focus on research. We wanted to give
the students more options in selecting courses so we eliminated the readings course as a requirement
and added another elective course. We changed the required internship into a requirement to
3
120
complete 1,000 hours but without the structure of a required internship. We also made FSHS 985
variable credit so that students who come to the program fully licensed may be allowed to complete
fewer hours of practicum. We are also eliminating the requirement for a basic graduate level statistics
course (PSYCH 802; or STATS 702 or 703 or EDCEP 817) and making a comparable course required as a
pre-requisite for admission to the PhD program. SOCIO 825 Quantitative Methods is added as
equivalent statistics II option.

Rationale: The doctorate emphasis in Personal Financial Planning was established in Summer 2009.
Since then, the need for additional coursework has been identified and become more formalized. The
intended changes reflect the necessary coursework to succeed as a financial planning academic.
Changes include
1. Separation of course categories into (a) Supporting Courses; (b) Professional Courses; (c) Elective
Courses; and (d) Research Courses;
2. Specification of recommended electives (i.e., FSHS 757 Financial Behavior Assessment Consulting,
FSHS 909 Topics: Behavioral Finance, FSHS 909 Topics: Research and Theory in Financial Therapy, FSHS
909 Topics: Research Application, FSHS 909 Topics: Psychology of Personal Finance);
3. Addition of requirement for grades of B or better in research courses;
4. Addition of FSHS 760 Retirement Planning and deletion of FSHS 624 Fundamentals of Family Financial
Planning to supporting courses to reflect changes in Certified Financial Planning Board of Standards
requirements;
5. Deletion of unnecessary core courses (i.e., FSHS 709 Public Policy and Family Economic Well-Being (3)
and alternatives to core courses);
6. Replacement of option for EDCEP 816 - Research Methods in Education (3) OR GERON 776 - Program
Evaluation and Research Methods in Gerontology (3) to required research course of FSHS 907 Advanced
Research Methods (3) course.
