1. Center for Native American Studies
i.
Create New Courses
a. NAS 422 American Indian Humor (2cr.)
Rationale: This course was created in response to student comment. American Indian Humor
came into being as a special topics course to provide a balance to the serious and sometimes
traumatic content found in Native American Studies. Students will focus their attention on a deep
array of media resources and texts as they study how, why and when North American Indigenous
peoples choose joking and comedy to balance the more somber features of their historical and
contemporary experience. It is the goal of the instructor that students learn something about the
nature of the society and cultures in which we live, and ultimately, something about the self too.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
NAS 422 American Indian Humor
2cr.
Prerequisite: NAS 204
Through films, poems, essays, music lyrics, plays, political cartoons, personal memoir and short
stories American Indian Humor studies the balance struck between amusing traits and solemn
aspects why joking and comedy are so vital to North American Indigenes.
Date of Implementation: Fall 2014

CUP: October 22, 2013
b. NAS 424 Indian Activism and Contemporary Cultural Expressions
(4cr.)
Rationale: This course will provide material on six of the seven primary themes found within
NAS at varying levels: a proficient level of information on cultures and lifeways; an advanced
level of information on identities, and family and community issues; and an emerging level of
information on histories, sovereignty and traditional ecological knowledge.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
NAS 424 Indian Activism and Contemporary Cultural Expressions
4cr.
Prerequisites: NAS 204 and NAS 224 (NAS 224 may be waived by the instructor should both
knowledge of NAS primary themes and skill to create beadwork be demonstrated)
Students will investigate the relationship between Indigenous artists and contemporary
Indigenous social justice movements in the United States and Canada through the analysis of
Indigenous art forms and representation as well as the skill and practice of creating visual
rhetoric through beadwork.
Date of Implementation: Fall 2014
ii.
Create Certification in American Indian Education
a. Require 12 Credits Total
b. Require
1. NAS 484 Native American Inclusion in the Classroom (2cr.)
2. NAS 485 American Indian Education (3cr.)
3. NAS 486 American Indian Education Law and Leadership
(3cr.)
4. NAS 488 Native American Service Learning Project (4cr.)
Rationale: The goal of the CNAS departmental certification in American Indian education is to
provide a common core set of teachings about American Indian education for individuals
working in this field. The CNAS currently offers four courses that when combined provide a
well rounded basic education about American Indian education. The following courses are
included in the departmental certification:
oom (2cr.): The primary goal for this course
is to engage educators in critical analysis of existing curriculum materials while providing an
opportunity for them to create their own materials.
for this course is to familiarize
educators with the history and current status of American Indian education by approaching it
CUP Report to the Senate, October 22, 2013
Page 3 of 20
CUP: October 22, 2013
from a policy era based and broad perspective that incorporates both Indian and non-Indian
standpoints, methodologies, and philosophies.
course is to familiarize educators with the current laws and leadership responsibilities regarding
administration and supervision of tribal, federal, and state-level American Indian Education
programs.
to provide opportunities for students to learn about American Indian issues in a local community
context by being a helper, and to assist students in seeing the relevance of Native American
Studies to real world experiences. Individuals completing this departmental certification will be
required to develop a digital portfolio of their work associated with each course, which will be
submitted and reviewed prior to the certification appearing on their transcript.
Students are required a 3.0 average or higher for the required courses in order to receive this
certification.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix A.
Memorandum of Understanding for Certification: See Appendix B.
Date of Implementation: Fall 2014
2. Department of Chemistry
i. Revise Forensic Biochemistry Major
a. Add Courses to Specified Electives
1. BI 112 Introductory Biology-Diversity (4cr.)
2. BI 406 Advanced Cell Biology (4cr.)
3. CJ 315 Investigative Process (4cr.)
4. CH 452 Biochemistry II (4cr.)
Rationale: The Forensic Biochemistry major is a four-year program that prepares students for a
career in the field of forensic science. Students take courses in chemistry, biology and criminal
justice to obtain the background necessary to work in a crime lab or go on to graduate studies in
forensic science. Chemistry has had several requests from students majoring in Forensic
Biochemistry who wish to use BI 112, BI 406, CJ 315 and CH 452 as specified electives, and the
Department has approved these requests in all cases. These courses are appropriate for students
pursuing a degree in Forensic Biochemistry, and we recommend that these courses be added to
the list of Specified Electives to provide students with more options when planning a program of
study.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix C.
CUP Report to the Senate, October 22, 2013
Page 4 of 20
CUP: October 22, 2013
Effects on Other Departments: As mentioned in the proposal, these changes are not expected to
affect other departments, will have no financial impact on the University, will not involve
additional library usage, and will not require additional supplies, equipment, or staffing. These
students have the option of taking other electives from the list.
Date of Implementation: Fall 2014
3. Department of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation
i. Change Course Number from RE 494 Internship to RE 492 Internship
Rationale: This course number change is from AQIP Project last year to provide more
consistency in numbering for internships and practicums.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
RE 494 492 Internship
12 cr.
Offered: Fall, Winter, Summer
Prerequisite: RE 491; approval of intern site, all required core and other required courses
completed, and overall grade point average of 2.50 in the major, junior standing or instructor's
permission.
This course involves supervised field work in a professional setting with emphasis on
administration, supervision, programming and leadership.
Date of Implementation: Fall 2014
4. Department of Nursing
i. Decrease NU 352 Advanced Concepts in Family Nursing from 4 credits to 2
credits
Rationale: In previous semesters when NU 352 was offered as a 4 credit elective, enrollment in the
course was adequate. However in the fall of 2009, the nursing curriculum changed from a 6 semester
program to a 5 semester program. This change has resulted in heavier academic loads for nursing
students each semester.
Specific NU 352 course modifications would include:
 A decrease in the number of course objectives from 6 objectives to 4.
 The elimination of the option to complete an actual family assessment and development
of the associated care plan; however, a family assessment and care plan for a case study
family would remain.
 A decrease in the number of examinations from two examinations to one.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
NU 352 Advanced Concepts in Family Nursing
Offered: On demand
CUP Report to the Senate, October 22, 2013
4 cr. 2 cr.
Page 5 of 20
CUP: October 22, 2013
Prerequisite: NU 211 and NU 212 or concurrent enrollment or instructor's permission.
An exploration of family nursing in which the family unit is the focus of care. Family assessment models
provide the framework for planning nursing care for families in a variety of health care settings.
Date of Implementation: Fall 2014
ii. Delete NU 491 Nursing Practicum and Internship
Rationale: NU 491 is no longer needed as it has been replaced by NU 452 and our RN to BSN
students must take NU 452. Furthermore, if a student desired academic credit for a summer
internship experience, a directed study course could be developed using NU 498 Directed
Studies in Nursing.
Date of Implementation: Fall 2014
5. Department of Radiography
i. Create RAD 109 Introduction to Radiography (Intro to Rad) 2 cr.
Rationale: An introductory radiography course was approved in the 2007 CUP proposal
(Introduction to Radiologic Technology, 1 cr.) and subsequently deleted from the curriculum in
2009. The new introductory course with expanded course content will provide the student with
an overview of the professional field of diagnostic imaging. Increased information about the
career and health care will assist the student in choosing an appropriate career path. Content
required by current accreditation standards is included. The course will be a prerequisite for
subsequent professional courses in the Radiography curriculum.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
RAD 109 Introduction to Radiography (Intro to Rad)
2cr.
Offered: Winter
An overview of the foundations of radiography and the practitioner’s role in the health care
delivery system. Topics include historical perspective, medical ethics, patient care, and radiation
protection. Principles, policies, and practices of health care organizations are examined.
Professional responsibilities of the radiographer are described.
Date of Implementation: Fall 2014
ii. Increase Credit Hours
a.
RAD 262 Methods of Patient Care from 2 to 3 credits
b.
RAD 264 Radiographic Procedures I from 4 to 5 credits
c.
RAD 265 Principles of Radiation Production, Characteristics and

Page 6 of 20
CUP: October 22, 2013
e.
RAD 364 Image Processing and Quality Management from 2 to 3
credits
Rationale: All Radiography courses were reviewed to determine appropriate credit hours based
on the course content and instructional hours. The revisions reflect the accurate number of
instructional hours for lecture and lab. Practicum courses are conducted in an affiliated clinical
site under the supervision of a clinical preceptor. NMU faculty serve to coordinate the clinical
experience. The number of clinical hours per credit hour is consistent with other practicum
courses in the department. The total practicum hours will be reduced from 1820 to 1680 which
will facilitate scheduling at the clinical sites. The number of clinical hours is well above the
minimum of 1500 hours required by accreditation standards.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix D.
Date of Implementation: Fall 2014
iii. Decrease Credit Hours
a.
RAD 263 Radiography Clinical Experience I from 7 to 2 credits
b.
RAD 266 Radiography Clinical Experience II from 7 to 6 credits
c.
RAD 267 Radiographic Procedures II from 6 to 5 credits
d.
RAD 366 Radiographic Clinical Experience IV from 9 to 8 credits
Rationale: All Radiography courses were reviewed to determine appropriate credit hours based
on the course content and instructional hours. The revisions reflect the accurate number of
instructional hours for lecture and lab. Practicum courses are conducted in an affiliated clinical
site under the supervision of a clinical preceptor. NMU faculty serve to coordinate the clinical
experience. The number of clinical hours per credit hour is consistent with other practicum
courses in the department. The total practicum hours will be reduced from 1820 to 1680 which
will facilitate scheduling at the clinical sites. The number of clinical hours is well above the
minimum of 1500 hours required by accreditation standards.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix D.
Date of Implementation: Fall 2014
iv. Deletion of CIS 110 Principles of Computer Information Systems (4cr.) from
‘Other Required Courses’
Rationale: A computer course is not required by accreditation standards. Students have
adequate computer knowledge to complete the professional courses in the curriculum. This
change would allow students more flexibility in the first year of the pre-radiography curriculum.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix D.
CUP Report to the Senate, October 22, 2013
Page 7 of 20
CUP: October 22, 2013
Effects on Other Departments: Effects on other departments are minimal. Decreased
enrollment in CIS 110 is anticipated. Marge Sklar was contacted and indicated that this would
alleviate some of the scheduling issues for CIS 110.
Date of Implementation: Fall 2014
v. Replace CH 107 Introductory Chemistry (4cr.) with CH 109 Introductory
Organic and Biochemistry for the Health Sciences (4 cr.)
Rationale: The Chemistry Department no longer offers the CH 107 course. CH 109 is an
acceptable course option to fulfill the chemistry requirement for the curriculum.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix D.
Effects on Other Departments: Effects on other departments are minimal. As students have two
options for the chemistry requirement (CH 105 or CH 109), the effect on enrollment in CH 109
will not be substantial.
Date of Implementation: Fall 2014
vi. Decrease Total Credits for the Radiography Associate of Applied Science
Degree
a. Decrease Total Credits of “Other Required Courses” from 22 Credits to
18 Credits
b. Decrease Total Credits of “Required Courses in Major from 60 Credits to
59 Credits
c. Decrease Total Credits “Required for Degree” from 95 Credits to 90
Credits
Rationale: The deletion of CIS 110 and revision of required courses in the Radiography
professional course sequence results in a decrease of total credits for the Associate Degree. The
new lower credit total is in line with comparable Radiography programs in the region.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix D.

Forensic Biochemistry Major
This major is designed to prepare students for a career in the field of forensic science. It provides
the science background required for working as a forensic investigator in a crime lab. In
addition, it prepares students for entry into a graduate program in forensic science. The forensic
biochemistry curriculum includes courses from multiple departments and is the credit-hour
equivalent of a major plus a minor, therefore no additional minor is required. Students who are
interested in pursuing this degree should have a strong background in science, including two
years of high school algebra and one year of high school chemistry. The capstone course for this
major, CH 440, is offered every other year, therefore students should consult with their adviser
early in their program to ensure that they are prepared to take CH 440 when it is offered.
