Given the size of the School, it will be easier for students to locate the courses specific to each program if they are labeled with unique prefixes. Impact: In consultation with the CHE Academic Affairs and KSU Academic Affairs committees, course prefix changes will be made uniformly across campus in the online course catalog.

When Offered Spring UGE course No K-State 8 None 21 RATIONALE: This is a change to the term offered only. The offering term is being changed from Fall to Spring in order to better coordinate with department scheduling priorties. Changes are highlighted in RED below.

Pr.: ECON 735. TO: ECON 948 – Empirical Industrial Organization. (3) II. Analysis of market outcomes resulting from behavior and strategy of economic agents in imperfectly competitive markets, using econometric methods. Topics may include: models of consumer demand and methods of estimation; identifying and measuring market power and market effects of mergers; static models of entry and industry structure; single-agent dynamic structural models; dynamic oligopoly games; production, technology and industry structure; and other recent advances in empirical industrial organization. Pr.: ECON 940 and ECON 830, or consent of instructor. RATIONALE: Previous course title, description and much of its content have become dated and do not reflect current methods and issues of primary importance in this area of economics. IMPACT: We anticipate that the only department that might be interested to learn of the proposed course update is the Department of Agricultural Economics, since graduate students in that department often take graduate courses offered by the Economics Department. Both the department head, Professor Allen Featherstone, and graduate program director, Professor Jeffrey Peterson, of Agricultural Economics were informed in writing on February 25, 2015 of this course-update plan. On March 2, 2015, Professor Jeffrey Peterson, on behalf of the Agricultural Economics Department, informed the Economics Department that the proposed changes were considered and deemed acceptable to the Agricultural Economics Department. 22 EFFECTIVE DATE: Fall 2015 FROM: TO: GEOG 701 – Qualitative and Mixed Methods.

Qualitative research techniques, and integration of qualitative and basic statistical research techniques (mixed methods), with emphasis on geographical research. Consideration of ethics, data collection, and data analysis. RATIONALE: The course is attracting by far more graduate students than undergraduates, making the course awkward for the occasional undergraduate. In particular, connection content to graduate research has been an important part of the course. The only change requested is thus a shift from the 700-level to the 800-level.

Drama Therapy students are required to focus their creative projects on an aspect of drama therapy. The KSU MA program fulfills many of the requirements of the North American Drama Therapy Association’s Alternative Training Program.

Rationale: We are replacing CIS 544 Advanced Software Design and Development with CIS 640 Software Testing Techniques in the B.S. in CS, SE Option. CIS 544 is closely related to CIS 501 Software Architecture and Design, which is already required for all CS undergraduate degrees. We feel that replacing CIS 544 with CIS 640 would add an important area to the Software Engineering Option. Impact: None Effective: Fall 2015 31 Non-Expedited New Curriculum FROM: No area of specialization is currently offered. TO: G10-Civic Education This area of specialization is designed for teachers who wish to further their understandings of civic education curriculum, content, and pedagogy. Courses are designed to provide a contemporary perspective on teaching civic education in K-12 schools. EDCI 781 Teaching the Theoretical Foundations of Constitutional Government (1 hour) EDCI 782 Teaching the Historical Origins of Constitutional Government (1 hour) EDCI 783 Teaching the Development of Constitutional Principles (1 hour) EDCI 784 Teaching the Institutions of Government (1 hour) EDCI 785 Teaching the Bill of Rights (1 hour) EDCI 787 Teaching Citizenship (1 hour) EDCI 788 Teaching the Constitutional Principles of America’s Founders (3 hours) EDCI 789 Methods and Materials in Civic Education (3 hours) EDCI 790 Engaged Citizens: Public Policy Issues and Processes (3 hours) Or other courses approved by the advisor; these hours may include up to six hours in political science, history, or law. RATIONALE: The Department of Curriculum and Instruction currently offers nine specializations for its Master’s degree. This is a proposal to add a 10th area of specialization in civic education. Civic education is an historic purpose of schooling in the United States. From the Founding until today, scholars, politicians, and citizens have agreed that K-12 schools should prepare students for responsible, humane participation in civic and political life. K-12 schools serve both public and individual purposes. Today, we expect schools to prepare students to be college-ready, career-ready, and citizenship-ready.1 The mission statements of many school districts include 32 preparation for democratic citizenship. Despite its enduring significance, most elementary and secondary teachers enter the profession unprepared to effectively motivate civic learning.2 The College of Education (COE) offers online courses in each of its required areas of the Curriculum and Instruction Masters degree. The COE seeks to increase high-quality online offerings both to expand potential markets and to increase national reputation and exposure. Currently, only one other specialty area (i.e., Mathematics Education) can be completed exclusively online. Although other universities offer degrees or specializations in social studies or history education, a specialization in civic education appears unique. Under a grant from KSU’s Global Campus, the Center for Social Studies Education in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction has developed and offered a series of online, graduate civic education courses and has identified nationally recognized faculty to teach each of the courses. Funding was used to develop 15 hours of new, graduate, online courses. All of the courses have been successfully piloted and delivered by nationally recognized scholars in civic education. All faculty have been admitted to the graduate faculty at Kansas State University. 1 Herczog, Michelle M.1. 2014. "Implementing the C3 Framework: Monitoring the Instructional Shifts."

Implementation of the professional development plan will be documented through a professional development portfolio. Rationale: These changes modify the emphasis areas in the program to reflect changes in course offerings and strategies from Enterprise Information Systems to Data Analytics. An emphasis in Marketing is added, consistent with available courses and courses that students are already taking. To provide students with more flexibility in elective offerings, Electives are allowed at the 600-level, rather than requiring two 800-level courses. Simplifying processes for the PMBA, the international business experience is increased to three credit hours, and the professional development portfolio is make a non-credit curricular requirement rather than a course.
