Philosophy, Humanities & Core Humanities
INTRODUCTION
TMCC offers an associate's degree with an emphasis in philosophy. The college offers a number of philosophy
courses to serve the diverse needs of the community and the academic needs of students majoring in many fields.
Several highly qualified and dedicated instructors offer survey courses in Western philosophy, Eastern philosophy,
ethics, existentialism, critical thinking, logic, political philosophy, and the philosophy of science. The curriculum also
includes several courses on religion, such as an introduction to the Old Testament, a study of the Judeo-Christian
tradition, and an introduction to world religions. In addition to these offerings, instructors frequently design special
topics such as the study of knowledge, the philosophy of the Middle East, and the philosophy of India.
TMCC does not offer a degree in Humanities. The college offers a number of Humanities courses to serve the diverse
needs of the community and the academic needs of students interested in many fields. Three unique areas that
Humanities courses specialize in are diverse cultures; film, and literature. The curriculum also includes courses on
the culture of China, Native American, and the Middle East, specialized literature such as Beowulf, Douglas Adams
and Lord of the Rings, and film courses on the Humanities and Shakespeare, American Classics and varying themed
topics.
Mission Statement
Philosophy & Humanities Mission Statement:
The mission of the Philosophy & Humanities area is to provide students with the tools necessary for pondering the big
questions about the nature of reality, time, being, causation, and human consciousness; to distinguish between facts

will promote their thinking becoming more reasonable and articulate allowing them to make more responsible career
choices and to promote more fulfilled and meaningful lives.
Humanities Department Mission:
The mission of the Humanities Department at Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC) is to bring the world

2010-11
[PHILOSOPHY, HUMANITIES & CORE HUMANITIES]
-Gain knowledge of the major historical developments in Western philosophy
-Understand the philosophical contributions of major philosophers
-Recognize the relationships among philosophy, political theory, scientific thinking, religious
movements, and social behavior
-Develop comprehensive understanding of ethical theory and the ethical basis for human behavior
-Strengthen critical thinking skills and analytical skills
-Understand and appreciate the philosophical traditions and major figures of western and nonWestern cultures
Students completing courses in the Humanities emphasis will demonstrate strong skills and knowledge by taking
courses that focus on cultural diversity, motion picture history and knowledge, and an analysis of rich pieces of
literature. TMCC's humanities course offerings will allow students to gain skills essential to academic and
professional success.
Factors Expected to Affect Future
In the Humanities department in the last five years, three full-time, tenured faculty members have left. One tenured
faculty member is in phased-in retirement and will retire permanently in 2013, while another has just completed his
phased in retirement.. The other tenured faculty member is half time with the Music program while another half time
faculty member is no longer with us. We have hired two temporary, full-time faculty members to fulfill this
deficiency. The Humanities department is deficient in full time faculty and, currently, have no full-time, tenure-track
or tenured faculty members who solely teach philosophy or humanities.
We have maintained the number of course offerings and we have consistently seen the FTE increase in the courses we
have offered. Through a report from Admissions and Records the academic year 2009-2010 had 475 unduplicated
attempts to enroll in Philosophy courses (Please see Appendix D). This represents students who attempted to take
these courses at TMCC, but were unable to do so due to lack of course offerings. In addition to this, the number of
students who have declared philosophy as a major has increased from 2 in Spring 2006 to 44 in fall 2009 and 35 in
Spring 2010.
The emphasis in Philosophy will meet the needs of a growing student population at TMCC as well as those
wishing to pursue a baccalaureate degree in Philosophy. Adequate courses to support the emphasis area
currently exist. While there are qualified part-time instructors, there is no tenure-track or tenured, full-time
faculty member who solely teaches Philosophy. As recently as 2007, the Humanities Department consisted
of three full-time faculty members who regularly taught philosophy courses as part of their teaching
requirement. As a result of the buyouts and the recession, we now have no tenure-track or tenured, full-time
faculty members specifically devoted to teaching philosophy while enrollment in philosophy classes
continues to grow. We have one temporary, one-year hire faculty member to try and fulfill this growing
discipline’s needs.
The courses in Humanities will continue to meet the growing student interest in a variety of classes offered
at TMCC in such varied areas as film, literature, and cultural studies. While there are qualified part-time
instructors, there are only three tenured, full-time faculty members who teach the Humanities courses. We
have one temporary, one-year hire faculty members to try and fulfill the deficiency in the Humanities.

Overall the enrollment in Philosophy has increased since 2005. The 18-24 year-old age group outnumbers all other
groups by far due to the fact that courses in Philosophy can be very general and incorporate many areas of interest.
The degree requirements provide a broad base of sub-fields within philosophy such as science, history, ethics,
math, and law. Secondly, as an emphasis, philosophy is diverse enough that students can transfer to other
disciplines with ease and incorporate the knowledge they have learned in different careers in life. Lastly, students
who have declared a Philosophy emphasis tend to focus their studies as full time students in order to graduate
rather than continue with their education in a part time capacity (See Appendix C). The 25-34 year-old age group
was a distant second. This trend mirrors the college as a whole. The 25-34 year-old age group has shown the
greatest steady increase since Fall 2005. All data is from Informational Resources and can be found in Appendix
C.

Overall the enrollment in Humanities has decreased since 2005. The 18-24 year-old age group outnumbers all
other groups by far due to the fact that courses in Humanities can be very general and incorporate many areas of
interest. With the 25-34 year-old age group a distant second. This is largely due to the fact that with a loss of full

Females outnumber males by 1 -3%, though it appears that there has been a greater increase in the number of
females than there has been among the males. This trend of more females mirrors the college as a whole and in
part is a result of the increasing number of students in the humanities department and the increasing number of
females in higher education. Historically, Philosophy has been a very male-dominated discipline throughout
academics. This trend, therefore, demonstrates a significant change in the discipline with an increase in females’
interest in Philosophy.

Whites outnumber all other ethnic groups by far, though Hispanics have been increasing in number more than any
other group: there has been a 6% increase in Hispanic interest with the most recent semester having the largest
increase. This mirrors the trend for Hispanic growth at TMCC as a whole. This trend also seems to be a reflection
of TMCC as a whole. Asians and Native Americans take the third and fourth positions. This also is a reflection of
the growth in diversity at TMCC as a whole. The number of Asian students has been increasing as well. These
trends are a reflection of the trends that are occurring at TMCC as a whole.

Whites outnumber all other ethnic groups by far for the classes in the Humanities. There has been a slow decrease
in diversity which is a reflection of the fact that we have been steadily offering less Humanities courses as a result
of loss of full time faculty. The Hispanic population is increasingly interested in the Humanities courses, which
parallels the college as a whole. This also is a reflection of the growth in diversity at TMCC as a whole. These

Continuing students who declare Philosophy as their emphasis outnumber new transfer students consistently by a
ratio of about seven to one (double that for new students), indicating a very healthy rate of returning students in the
Philosophy emphasis. This number does not represent the overall number of students taking Philosophy courses.
As the data demonstrate, there has been an increasing trend for transfer students interested in Philosophy: in Fall
2009, for example, the TMCC transfer rate is about 10% while in the area of Philosophy it is a bit higher, at 14%.
This demonstrates that the Philosophy emphasis is comparable to the school as a whole (Factbook pg. OM-22).

Student Recruitment Activities
The Humanities department and the Philosophy emphasis have planned the following events for recruitment in the
future for interest in courses in Humanities along with interest in the Philosophy emphasis:
-Visit High Schools in the nearby community programs
-Make announcements at TMCC High School
-Create a Student Government Association (SGA) Philosophy Club (The Socrates Café) for regular meetings at
TMCC
The Humanities department and the Philosophy emphasis planned and implemented the following recruitment ideas
for interest in courses in the Humanities and for the emphasis in Philosophy:
-Advertised as a friendly presence at the Welcome Back Fair at TMCC
-Had a representative for Philosophy in the area of student advisement
-Had a representative for Humanities in the area of student advisement
-Continued with TMCC Guest Lecture Series (each semester) as an effort to recruit those interested in philosophy.
-Created a position in the Tutoring Learning Center for a Philosophy tutor (Fall 2010)
-Provided philosophy discussions, flyers, and advertising at local coffee establishments (Spring 2011)

[PHILOSOPHY, HUMANITIES & CORE HUMANITIES]
-In addition, the humanities coordinator also acted as the emphasis director and encouraged students to make progress
in their degree and to transfer to an accredited university. He did this by periodic meetings and phone calls to check
up on the student and provide assistance should it be required. The coordinator made efforts to have as much personal
interaction with the student so that the student feels supported in their college education.
Underserved Student Populations
There has been a 6% increase in Hispanic interest in Philosophy with the Spring 2010 semester having the largest
increase. This trend mirrors the trend for Hispanic growth at TMCC as a whole. The lecture series is designed to
create an arena whereby people of diverse backgrounds can gather and discuss a variety of issues. Certain classes
such as Middle Eastern Studies, Chinese Culture, and World Religions offer an opportunity to serve those minority
students who have diverse interests but have failed to find classes at other institutions that meet those needs.

Each semester the number of sections offered in the Philosophy program has remained consistent and enrollment
continues to grow despite the loss of full-time, tenured and tenure-track faculty. We have maintained our course
offerings and had consistent, steady growth of FTEs, as compared to departments offering similar numbers of
sections who have more full-time, tenured, or tenure-track faculty. We have been able to meet the increasing
demands of students. Rather than adding more sections we have instead seen a steady increase of FTE in the
sections we have offered. By limiting the addition of more sections we have noticed several students not being
able to enroll in certain philosophy classes (Please see Appendix D).

TMCC, 3% percent of the FTE in the School of Liberal Arts, and 22% of the FTE in the Humanities Department.
We have seen a steady growth in FTE’s over the past 5 years since we have kept the number of sections we have
offered consistent. Each semester Philosophy constitutes 1% of the total number of course sections offered at
TMCC and about 2.28% of the total number of course sections offered in the School of Liberal Arts.

Philosophy’s retention rates range from 67 – 74% which seems to be roughly the same as compared to the college
retention benchmarks. The reason for this is that Philosophy courses are reading and writing intensive. Possible
areas to explore in the future for the discipline would be creating paired classes, such as Philosophy 101 and
English 102. Another possibility for the future is to implement pre-requisites for some of the specific core courses.
Currently there are no full-time tenured faculty to manage this.

Humanities retention rates range from 63 – 75% which seem to be a bit lowered as compared to the college
benchmarks in general. In general, since the Spring of 2007, there has been an increasing trend for higher
retention. As many faculty members have left the Humanities department, the diversity of class offerings has
declined. Possible areas to explore in the future for the discipline would be creating paired classes as well as to
implement pre-requisites for some of the specific core courses. Currently there are no full-time tenured faculty to

Philosophy has one of the best student-to-faculty ratios on campus. This means that we are offering these sections
with higher FTEs, running more efficient classes than other areas and departments. This does mean, however, that
the faculty are strained in trying to regulate their time with students as there is such a high ratio of students to each
faculty member. There is no faculty member who solely teaches Philosophy at this time.

In the beginning of 2007 Humanities had about the same student to faculty ratio as compared to the rest of the
college. By Spring 2010 we have seen a decrease in that ratio. This means that we are offering these sections with
lower FTE’s in the classes. In years past with more faculty in the department we have offered more diverse
humanities courses.

The Philosophy emphasis at TMCC has seen 400% growth in declared majors over the last 5 years and continues to
attract a high number of declared majors.
Student Success Rates
Since 2005 there have been no Philosophy emphasis graduates. This is a result of several factors:
1. There are no full-time faculty members to advise or mentor students through an emphasis in philosophy.
2. The articulation between UNR and TMCC has never been consistent.
3. Of all the emphases and degrees on the TMCC campus, Philosophy has required the highest number of credits
for completion (69-73 credits). No other emphasis or degree on campus had this high of a credit requirement
(Early Childhood Education with 66 credits and Theatre with 69-72 credits were second and third). An academic
proposal to reduce the number of credits to 60-62 credits went through cap committee in Fall 2010 and has been
approved for the 2011/2012 catalog and articulate more closely with other TMCC programs has been submitted to
take effect fall 2011.

Enrollment Development Strategies
Demographic Findings and Strategies
The main group of students is white women from 18-24 years old. This same pattern is reflected by the college as
a whole. In addition the Hispanic population has been growing. Welcome meetings and Philosophy discussions
are held on campus to cater to the underserved population at TMCC in both disciplines of Humanities and
Philosophy. As there is no Humanities major, no data could be concluded.
Student Status Findings and Strategies
Continuing students in Philosophy and Humanities outnumber new transfer students by a ratio of almost seven to one,
which shows a steady rate of returning students. There has been an increasing trend for transfer students interested in
Philosophy. We will continue our efforts to maintain this trend by way of Academic Advisement and new
recruitment strategies such as community outreach at the high school and coffee house discussions. The percentage of
students taking less than 6 credits (1/2 time) in Philosophy reflects the same trend for students overall at TMCC and
may be an inherent quality of our students. As there is no Humanities major, no data could be concluded.
Enrollment Patterns and Strategies
Philosophy:
The number of sections in the Philosophy program each semester has remained steady. During the last ten semesters
the FTE in Philosophy courses constitutes 22% of the FTE in the Humanities Department and about 3% of the total
number of course sections offered in the School of Liberal Arts. Philosophy’s retention rates range from 67 – 74%
which seems to be roughly the same as compared to the college in general. The Philosophy Program at TMCC has
seen 400% growth in declared majors over the last 5 years and continues to attract a high number of declared majors.
Philosophy has one of the best student-to-faculty ratios on campus as compared to other areas and departments,
thereby using more part time professors. Thus, there is an unambiguous need for full-time, tenure-track faculty to
meet these Philosophy needs.
Humanities:
The number of sections in the area of Humanities each semester has very steadily declined. During the last ten
semesters the FTE in Humanities courses constitutes 15.1% of the FTE in the Humanities Department and about
2.04% of the total number of course sections offered in the School of Liberal Arts. Humanities retention rates range
from 63 – 75% which seem to be a bit lower when compared to the college in general. Philosophy has one of the
worst student-to-faculty ratios on campus as compared to other areas and departments. Thus, there is an unambiguous
need for full-time, tenure-track faculty to meet these Humanities needs.
Student Success Rates and Strategies
In order to better serve our Philosophy and Humanities students and help them through the process of graduation
we:
1. Planned to have a Humanities faculty advisor as of Spring 2011 and we now have one.
2. Planned to have a Philosophy faculty advisor as of Spring 2011 and we now have one.
24
Demographics and Enrollment | Truckee Meadows Community College
2010-11
[PHILOSOPHY, HUMANITIES & CORE HUMANITIES]
3. Will establish an SGA Philosophy club
4. Had planned to reduce the number of credit to complete the emphasis in Philosophy and have completed this,
such that Philosophy is now in similar compliance with the other departments on campus.
5. Will work to improve articulation between TMCC and UNR so that the TMCC philosophy emphasis is more
specifically geared toward students wanting to transfer to UNR directly into the Philosophy major. Two ways
this will be done will be to create two new philosophy classes that UNR has and TMCC does not and also to
reduce the number of credits required for the emphasis at TMCC. We have had a greater diversity in the
Humanities course offerings in the past and we will attempt to add more classes that meet a diverse range of
interest in the future.

CURRICULUM
Degree/Emphasis Assessment Reports
This PUR report initiates efforts to assess the emphasis in Philosophy.
Students completing the degree program will demonstrate strong skills and knowledge in critical thinking,
ethical awareness, logical analysis, and cultural consciousness. In the Philosophy program, we assess
individual courses that comprise the program. Given the wide variety of courses in the Philosophy program,
we have used different criteria based on the types of classes (epistemology, morality, religion, logic, etc.).
The Philosophy program provides the students with the knowledge of major historical developments in
Western Philosophy; gives the students the tools to identify major philosophical figures and define their
contributions to the history and the development of philosophical thought; and provides a basis for the
understanding of ethical theory.
We currently have no Assessments for courses in the Humanities due to the fact that we have no full time
faculty for the Humanities.
Course Assessment Report Summaries
The following is the list of completed Program/Discipline/Course Assessment Reports (PDCARs):
PHIL 101 Spring 2009
PHIL 102 Spring 2010
There have been no records of PDCARs for any of the other Philosophy course offerings over the last five
years. This is due to prior department chairs. For Spring 2011 the following classes have been scheduled
for assessment: PHIL 207, PHIL 119, PHIL 135, PHIL 203. For Humanities course offerings the following
classes are scheduled for assessment in Spring ’11: HUM 101 and HUM 102. For Summer 2011 we will
complete PHIL 210.
Below are listed the three course outcomes that Philosophy uses for Philosophy 101 and Philosophy 102.
Philosophy 101
Outcome #1: to demonstrate proper exegesis of a philosophical text or lines of text from a primary source.
Measure: The questions will vary from the selected texts to incorporate a wider range of topics with varying
degrees of difficulty to improve exegesis.
Outcome #2: To be able to understand specific philosophical ideologies in context and explain how they
relate to the philosophers’ greater theory about their work.
Measure: The questions will be varied from the selected texts to incorporate a wider range of topics with
differing degrees of difficulty to improve understanding of the topic.
26
Curriculum | Truckee Meadows Community College
2010-11
[PHILOSOPHY, HUMANITIES & CORE HUMANITIES]
Outcome #3: To relate philosophical ideologies to modern day examples and problems in philosophy.
Measure: The questions will vary from the selected texts to incorporate a wider range of topics with degrees
of difficulty to improve ability to relate ideologies to actual examples and problems.
For Philosophy 101, we found that lecture devoted to critical explanation of the texts helped to solidify complicated
exegetical questions and the annotation assignments based off the primary source reading also helped in the students
understanding of the material. In the future, we will devote more class time to discussion groups that focus on the
exegesis of the text along with directed lecture points. These activities directly reflected upon the quality of the
research paper, which was based upon carefully analyzing specific lines of text from the primary source material.
Philosophy 102 – Critical Thinking
Outcome #1: 3 essays are used to determine comprehension of material.
Measure: Rubrics are regularly revised for efficiency and effectiveness.
Outcome #2: 2 exams are used to test comprehension and synthesizing of information into a cohesive
system.
Measure: Exams are regularly revised to ensure fairness in grading.
For Philosophy 102, we found that the essays improved in quality when the students were provided a variety of
options for papers: analysis of case, analysis of faulty reasoning, and a persuasive essay. The lecture material, text
explanation, and current examples that were used in class provided a context from which the students could better
understand the material. In the future, we will use examples from the students’ culture to relate the more complicated
text material that is difficult to grasp.
Assessment Driven Improvements
Currently, we do not have the faculty members required to be able to adequately facilitate and maintain this process.
The Philosophy program is in the beginning stages of implementing assessment driven improvements. When PHIL
101 and PHIL 102 are taught again the results of the assessment reports will be taken into consideration to modify and
adjust in order to achieve even better student outcomes. Part-time instructors will be incorporated in this process by
assigning specific assignments in their classes, at the end of which the data will be compiled and then analyzed by the
individual instructors. For Spring 2011 the following classes have been scheduled for assessment: PHIL 207, PHIL
119, PHIL 135, of which one, PHIL 135, will utilize the part time instructor teaching that class. For Summer 2011 we
will complete PHIL 210. They will then report their findings to the coordinator or chair.
Evaluating Relevancy of Curriculum
Course Content
Philosophy:
Each course meets the quality and efficiency that is expected of the emphasis program. Courses are reviewed
periodically to make sure they comply with current assessment and outcomes. Curriculum is updated by the
individual instructors as the classes are offered. As the courses offered with a two year rotating plan, the chance
27

for revision and updates keeps these classes current. Further measures are implemented to ensure current standards
of these courses such as open and frequent communication with UNR to ensure the Philosophy emphasis at TMCC
is in compliance with the Philosophy department at UNR.
Humanities:
Each course meets the quality and efficiency that is expected of the course requiremnts. Courses are reviewed
periodically to make sure they comply with current assessment and outcomes. Curriculum is updated by the
individual instructors as the classes are offered. As the courses offered with a two year rotating plan, the chance
for revision and updates keeps these classes current. Further measures are implemented to ensure current standards
of these courses such as open and frequent communication with UNR to ensure Humanities courses at TMCC are
in compliance with the transfer agreements at UNR.
Degree/Certificate Requirements
Philosophy:
The emphasis requirements are currently being revised. The old credit requirement for the emphasis were too
numerous (69-73) when compared to the other degrees and emphases (60-65) offered at TMCC. The revised
program requirements more closely follow the rigor that other programs possess, thereby enabling students to
graduate with an emphasis in the program. (See appendix B). As of the 2011-2012 TMCC catalogue, the
Philosophy emphasis complies with the articulation agreements at UNR. The credits at TMCC for the philosophy
emphasis have been lowered (60 – 62) to more closely match UNR.
Methods of Instruction
For both Philosophy and Humanities various methods of instruction are used in an effort to meet the needs of an
expanding culture and an increasingly progressive technology base. In addition to traditional face-to-face teaching
methods, the philosophy emphasis and humanities courses are offered in the online format in an attempt to meet
current and future technological needs and ideas. In order to maintain a current disposition in philosophy teaching,
we encourage full time faculty to attend conferences so that they may be up to date in the areas of philosophy and
humanities.
Faculty Qualifications
In an effort to satisfy appropriate credentials, two types of information are required for instructors at TMCC.
1. Full-time faculty must have the equivalent of an M.A. in Philosophy or a related field of Humanities to be able
to teach.
2. Part-time instructors must:
a. Possess an M.A. in Philosophy or a related field in the area of Humanities
b. Have completed at least 18 credits and be currently enrolled in an M.A. program in Philosophy or a
related field in Humanities and must be on track to graduate from that program.
If criterion 2b. is not fulfilled, the instructor will be terminated until completion of degree and subject to further
review.
28

[PHILOSOPHY, HUMANITIES & CORE HUMANITIES]
Post Completion Objectives (transfer, job placement, etc.)
The directive of the philosophy program is to graduate students so that they have an associate’s degree with an
emphasis in Philosophy and that they may transfer to an accredited institution to complete a B.A. perhaps in
philosophy. (Please see Appendix B for a UNR Major Requirements). The directive of the Humanities course
offerings is to facilitate the student in transferring to another institution.
Secondary Student Preparation Efforts
Semester Philosophy meetings are held at the TMCC campus in the form of lectures in an effort to recruit new
students and generate more interest in the Philosophy emphasis or general interest in Humanities course offerings. In
the future, recruitment efforts will be made in the high schools in conjunction with Chris Dudash.

Curriculum Development Strategies
Assessment Findings and Strategies
We have completed assessments for Philosophy 101 and 102. Other Philosophy course assessments may or may
not have been completed, but there is no record. As mentioned, Humanities courses do not have any assessments
completed. As per the course offerings set out in the introduction, the department has issued its plan for
completing assessments for the 2010-2011 year which involves: PHIL 119, 135, 207, and 210. For Humanities
course the following will be assessed: HUM 101 and HUM 102. Part time instructors will be included in this
process as they constitute a majority of the instructors teaching both Philosophy and Humanities courses. More
full-time, tenure-track faculty is needed to carry out assessments (See appendix D for PDCARs). At this time we
have not completed assessments for Humanities course offerings.
External Resource Recommendations and Implementation Plans
Not applicable.
Anticipated Factors Affecting Curriculum and Strategies
Due to the growing interest in Philosophy and in an effort to improve articulation with UNR, the Philosophy
program will be developing three new courses (PHIL 131 Introduction to Metaphysics and PHIL 212 Introduction
to Medieval Philosophy and PHIL 213 Modern Philosophy) in order to broaden and deepen the quantity and quality
of course offerings. The Philosophy emphasis has been showing a growing interest and continues to thrive at the
TMCC campus. With the increasing interest from students in lectures, special Philosophy meetings, and newly
declared majors, it is important that we satisfy the needs of these students. We need full-time faculty devoted to
this program.
Humanities will continue to offer its diverse course offerings. In order to provide more opportunities for transfer,
future classes will be inspected for possible cross-listings and pairings in order to generate interest in taking more
classes in the Humanities. We need full-time faculty devoted to Humanities courses.

RESOURCES
Faculty and Staff
Required Faculty Credentials
The Humanities Department recruits and selects full-time faculty with rich eclectic academic preparation and teaching
experience in a variety of fields with degrees in: Philosophy, Humanities, History, Literature, English, Cultural
Studies, and Art History. Those faculty teaching philosophy courses have master’s degree credentials in philosophy
or a closely related discipline; adjunct faculty must have earned a master’s degree in philosophy or humanities related
discipline. The essential considerations in selecting faculty to teach philosophy courses include demonstrated
teaching effectiveness in diverse learning environments and strong commitment to the value of philosophy in
nurturing individual potential.
The Philosophy program at TMCC does not feature any full-time faculty dedicated solely to teaching philosophy
courses. Several members of the Humanities Department faculty share teaching duties for the Philosophy program as
follows: 2 tenured faculty each teach between 3 and 6 credits of Philosophy. 2 one year temporary hires teach
between 3 and 9 units of Philosophy courses. For the Humanities course offerings, 1 Tenured faculty teaches
between 6 -9 credits. Each of these faculty members possess the academic credentials and experience to ensure a
quality learning environment in classes offered throughout the curriculum. Faculty in the Humanities department
which includes tenured and temporary 1 year hires are as follows: M.A. in U.S. History; PhD in European History;
An M.A. in Philosophy; PhD in English, M.A. in Musicology; PhD in Philosophy. Increasing demand for philosophy
classes accompanied by increasing enrollments over the years necessitates a growing reliance on adjunct faculty with
the necessary academic qualifications and pedagogical skills to offer quality instruction.

The full-time to part-time faculty ratio in Philosophy is disproportionate to the rest of the departments on campus.
Over the past 4 years the interest in Philosophy has increased almost 400% by the number of declared majors. The
ratio of full-time to part-time instructors in 2005 was 38% to 63%. In 2010, even with the increase in Philosophy
enrollments, it declined to a full-time to part-time instructor ratio of 19% to 81%. At the end of Summer 2010, the
Humanities Department lost more full-time faculty, such that the full-time to part-time ratio is now 8% full-time to
92% part-time.
The continuing strength and vitality of the Philosophy program would benefit significantly from the addition of a fulltime faculty member dedicated 100% to teaching philosophy courses. Data from Spring 2010 semester reveal a heavy
reliance on adjunct faculty to meet student demand. Average class enrollment numbers have increased steadily over
the years, reaching 31:1 in Spring 2010. Class size increases impose difficult demands on faculty trying to maintain
the individual student focus so important in effective philosophy teaching and learning. Enrollment increases have
exacerbated reliance on qualified adjunct faculty to staff the scheduled class sections. During Spring 2010, adjunct
faculty taught approximately 80% of philosophy courses offered.

Required Classified Credentials
Philosophy is part of the Humanities Department and requires at least an Administrative Assistant III position.
Classified FTE
The Philosophy program has no classified staff assigned directly to the program. The Philosophy program relies on
support from classified staff assigned to the Humanities Department. Philosophy work is spread out between the
administrative assistant who is spread over Humanities, Core Humanities, Communications, and Foreign Languages.
Given the interest in the philosophy program the department needs 1 classified staff for the program. The Humanities
courses have no specific classified staff assigned directly to the program
Facilities
Available facilities and infrastructure are more than adequate to support the Philosophy program and the Humanities
courses and provide an effective and efficient learning environment and must be maintained.
Technology
The Philosophy program’s and Humanities course’s curriculum benefit from the sophisticated technological support
offered by TMCC. Smart Classroom technology allows instructors to access and employ a variety of instructional
modes and a rich variety of audio and visual resources available through immediate internet access. The TMCC
library’s online resources allow students and faculty to access an almost unlimited number of primary and secondary
materials as well as a wealth of visual and audio sources. Access to resources through available technology
strengthens both the quality of course content and the variety of pedagogical methods available to faculty. Available
technology through the Angel learning platform and Web College enables the Philosophy program to schedule a
variety of online courses, including Introduction to Philosophy, Introduction to Ethics, World Religions, and others.
High enrollment numbers attest to the success of these programs in giving students flexible access to quality
education. These online courses often enroll students from throughout the United States and throughout the world in
locations such as Serbia and Iraq.
Funding Sources
The Philosophy program and Humanities courses are funded through the institutional budgeting process. The
institutional administration allocates financial resources to the Humanities Department; the Department then funds
adjunct faculty hiring and necessary supplies to the Philosophy program. The Philosophy program receives no
support from external funding sources.
Resource Development Strategies
Staffing Issues and Strategies
Resource Development Strategies
The Student Full Time Enrollment (SFTE) growth over the years has increased the required resources to support a
successful Philosophy program. The Philosophy program is dependent on resources available through the Humanities
Department. The Philosophy program and the Humanities courses have not developed a strategic plan for long range

Staffing Issues and Strategies
The addition of at least 4 full-time faculty members dedicated to the Philosophy program and the Humanities courses
would provide the leadership and vision necessary for continued growth in quality course offerings with adequate
support resources. Many other disciplines in the Humanities Department, however, have similar needs for resources
and additional faculty.
Facilities and Desired Capital Improvements
Current facilities and capital resources are adequate to maintain the current level of course offerings available through
the Philosophy program.
Funding Allocations and Development Strategies
The Philosophy program’s funding resources and future development are dependent on the priorities established in the
Humanities Department and the School of Liberal Arts. Funding allocations are adequate at this time.

APPENDIX A.
Dean’s Analysis of Funding Resources
The Humanities department does not have separate budget lines for the various areas that it encompasses. Therefore,
all operating budgets are in one account, making it difficult to comment in any great detail on these budgets.
State-Supported Operating Budgets
As indicated above, the Philosophy area is incorporated into the larger Humanities area so detailed information
about exact expenditures is limited. However, the operating needs of this area are covered sufficiently at this time
within the departmental budget.
Lab Fees
The lab fees that are generated in the Humanities area are sufficient for student needs at this time.
Special Fees
None
Grants
None at this time. There are opportunities through NEH that this area may want to explore as those opportunities
come forward.
Non-Credit Training Income
