August 27, 2004 TO: Robert Mrtek, Chair Senate Committee on Educational Policy FROM: Roger Nelson Assistant Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs I am submitting for review and action by the Senate Committee on Educational Policy the attached proposal from the College of Applied Health Sciences to revise the B.S. in Human Nutrition. The proposal was approved administratively by the dean of the College on August 20, 2004. RN: Attachment Cc: C. Hulse R. Betts L. Kaufman C. Tate J. Wencel-Drake A. Diamond A. McNeil C. Braunschweig D. Martinez D. Kellens Title: Sponsor: Description: Revision of the Bachelor of Science in Human Nutrition Department of Human Nutrition College of Applied Health Sciences In Spring 2003, the campus approved the addition of a second undergraduate concentration in the Department of Human Nutrition effective fall 2003. Corrections are being made to the original information as approved. 1. In the original document, the concentrations were designated as: Professional Concentration Standard Didactic Concentration The names for these two concentrations should be changed to Coordinated Program Concentration Nutrition Science Concentration 2. The following four courses were included as requirements for the Nutrition Science Concentration: HN 302, Culture and Food, 2 hours HN 306, Nutrition Education, 4 hours HN 330, Quantity Food Production, 3 hours HN 332, Food Service Management, 2 hours These courses will be removed from the Nutrition Science Concentration. This concentration requires a total of 60 hours, with 120 hours required for the BS in Human Nutrition. The total hours required for the degree remain unchanged because students will choose remaining coursework from electives to complete the 60 hours required for the concentration and degree. In addition, an error is being corrected in the catalog for the Professional Concentration, making total hours required for this concentration 136 rather than 137. Justification: 1. Changing the name of the concentrations to “Coordinated Program” and “Nutrition Science” more accurately reflects the program contents and intents and is in keeping with the terminology typically used in undergraduate nutrition programs. This change will not effect any other departments. 2. HN 302, 306, 330, and 332 are being removed as requirements in the Nutrition Science Concentration because students in this track may desire graduate training in medicine, public health, dentistry, nutrition or they may wish to complete requirements to apply for dietetic internships. Minimizing the requirements will allow individualization of the program to meet the needs of this diverse student body. See attached.
