Date of Implementation: Fall 2013
Rationale: No course has been offered using this designation in more than 10 years.
Enrollments in this course have been declining since 2000. Since 2000, AIS 330 continually
does not meet minimum enrollments. The History department was informed of the proposal to
delete AIS 330 in a memorandum to Dr. DeFonso (11 October 2012).
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013

CUP: February 5, 2013
Departments Affected: History is affected by AIS 330; however, they will be submitting a
change in their Public History minor next year.
2. School of Art and Design
Date of Implementation: Fall 2013
i. Modify Existing Courses
a. AD 111: Human Centered Design: Shelters
1. Change Name from Human Centered Design: Shelters to
Human Centered Design: Visualization Techniques
2. Change Course Description
Rationale: The demand of quality design sketching skills in the profession remains to be
consistently sought after by employers. Despite all the 3-D modeling technologies, visualization
through sketching remains to be the fastest and most effective method for communicating design
concepts. Model making also remains and important component to the profession. Crafting
models in a variety of mediums provides designers valuable information in regards to form,
proportion, composition and function.
Proposed Course Description:
AD 111 Human Centered Design: Shelters Visualization Techniques
Offered: Fall Winter
4 cr.
Introduction to the product design process through design sketching, form development and
model making. Introduction and exploration of the domestic landscape while examining how
immediate surroundings inform behavior. Ideation and presentation techniques are developed
and integrated with the technical aspects of design.
b. AD 119: Introduction to Illustration
1. Change Course Description
Rationale: The addition of “black and white media” is necessary to avoid confusion. Some
students have entered the course thinking color media will be used. “Linear perspective,” should
be included in the detailed emphasis because the understanding of its principles is a major
objective for the course. Switched “picture” for “image” to remain consistent in my description
vocabulary. “Fall,” was added to the semesters offered to account for recent history and
enrollment numbers.
Proposed Course Description:
AD 119 Introduction to Illustration
4 cr.
Offered: Fall, Winter
Introduction to illustration methods and concepts, with a focus on using black and white media.
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 17 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
Emphasis will be on constructive drawing techniques, and narrative image making linear
perspective, and narrative picture making.
b. AD 134: Electronic Imaging
1. Change Name from Electronic Imaging: Introduction to
Computer Art: Introduction
2. Change Course Description
Rationale: The course content of AD 134 is unchanged. The current description was created to
be deliberately vague and allow for some instructor variation in the course. The proposed
description actually defines what is already being taught in the course, but provides more concise
information for students enrolling in the course.
Proposed Course Description:
AD 134 Electronic Imaging: Computer Art: Introduction
Summer
4 cr.
Offered: Fall, Winter,
Introduction to computer graphics hardware and software with the development of knowledge
and skill in electronic image production. Introduction to the concepts and practices of computer
art with an emphasis on photo-manipulation. Integration of 3D modeling and texturing is
explored.
d. AD 211: Human Centered Design: Social Goods
1. Change Name from Human Centered Design: Social Goods to
Human Centered Design: Digital Visualization
2. Change Course Description
Rationale: The course content will only need subtle adjustment to achieve the transition from
AD 111. The focus of the course will remain but the change of the title is proposed to remove the
primary focus of “Social Goods,” since that is the focus of the entire Human-Centered Design
curriculum.
Proposed Course Description:
AD 211 Human Centered Design: Social Goods Digital Visualization
Offered: Winter
4 cr.
Prerequisite: AD 111.
Introduction to the process of defining and developing a product with an emphasis on value and
semantics. Studio work is oriented toward realizing the artifact in the virtual and physical realm.
Introduction to computer modeling, digital manufacturing process with advanced presentation
and conceptual development skills.
e. AD 217: Color Photography
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 18 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
1. Change name from Color Photography to Advanced Digital
Photography
2. Change Course Description
Rationale: The course description more accurately reflects the material covered in the course as
technology had evolved. The elimination of an emphasis on color avoids repetition of
information and assignments in AD 117. Having a strong grounding in digital editing techniques
is necessary for students if they are to be competitive in the market (fine art or commercial)
today.
Proposed Course Description:
AD 217 Color Advanced Digital Photography
4 cr.
Offered: Fall
Prerequisite: AD 117
An advanced exploration into the medium of color photography and theoretical aspects of digital
technology. Assignments and critiques address issues of light and color theory in addition to
advanced techniques in software applications for color image editing. Student access to a digital
SLR preferred. The studio facility provides some equipment for student use. Advanced Digital
will focus on extending students’ knowledge of digital media used to manipulate and enhance
photographic images and contemporary issues pertaining to digital imaging culture. Students can
expect to acquire techniques used for specialized image manipulation using photo manipulation
and editing software. Students will create a cohesive final portfolio of professional quality using
these new tools supported by critical discussions, reading, and research.
f. AD 219: Illustration Forms
1. Change Course Description
Rationale: The updated description emphasizes that this is more than a class about exploring
different art and painting techniques. So, it is important to note that the additional color theory
and media knowledge is applicable to how each student’s work communicates with its audience.
The addition of “may” to the list of media allows the instructor some flexibility, to remove and
introduce techniques, to address the needs of the students, or in response to particular project
requirements.
Proposed Course Description:
AD 219 Illustration Forms 4 cr.
Offered: Winter
Prerequisite: AD 119.
Study of illustration concepts and techniques, particularly the use of hands-on color media,
including acrylic paint, watercolors, color pencils/watercolor pencils, and pastels. Continued
development of picture-making principles for illustration, particularly the understanding of color
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 19 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
theory. Study of traditional media techniques may include acrylics, watercolors, ink, colored
pencils, pastels and mixed media. Students gain an appreciation for how color and media
techniques affect the social meaning perceived in their work.
g. AD 234: Electronic Imaging: Web Design
1. Change name from Electronic Imaging: Web Design to
Computer Art: Motion
2. Change Prerequisites
3. Change Course Description
Rationale: As coding a web page has become increasingly complex (html5 standards, scalable
content for pads/smartphones, etc.), the practice of having a “designer” and a “developer” work
in tandem has become the norm. Such a shift in industry has caused educational institutions to
largely migrate “web design” courses to the area of graphic communication. This has begun in
the School of Art and Design; web design is currently being taught in multiple graphic
communication courses. The focus of 234 will be directed toward forms of animation, instead of
web design. In depth understanding of motion and methods of creating motion are a topic unto
themselves but equally serve as building blocks for integrative systems (the 300-level course).
Proposed Course Description:
AD 234 Electronic Imaging: Web Design Computer Art: Motion
Offered: Fall, Winter
4 cr.
Prerequisite: AD 134 and AD 175. or instructor's permission
Development of concepts and methods for interactive multimedia and Web site design using a
variety of software. Considerations for navigation, interactivity and visual communication will
be presented. Development of concepts and practices of computer art with an emphasis on
keyframe and procedural animation methods.
h. AD 270: Social Structures and Concepts
1. Change in Course Description
Rationale: The class field trip has been removed as a required component of the course.
Proposed Course Description:
AD 270 Social Structures and Concepts
4 cr.
Offered: Fall, Winter
Prerequisite: AD 160 and AD 175.
Comparative study of cultural products, social structures and theories of visual representation
and their evolution in contemporary society.
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 20 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
i. AD 302: Media and Methodology for Art Education
1. Change in Prerequisites
Rationale: The change aligns with changes in prerequisite requirements by the School of
Education.
Proposed Course Description:
AD 302 Media and Methodology for Art Education
4 cr.
Offered: Fall
Prerequisite: ED 201, ED 231, ED 301, MTTC basic skills test and AD 248. Admission to the
methods phase of teacher education, AD 248 with a minimum grade of “B” and a minimum GPA
of 2.7 in the department.
To explore a variety of media used in the art classroom and to gain knowledge, values and skills
in writing comprehensive art education lessons. To implement lesson plans in the
schools/museums for practical application.
j. AD 310: Art for the Elementary Classroom Teacher
1. Change in Course Description
Rationale: Old description is outdated with language that does not align with current course
content and current practices in Art Education.
Proposed Course Description:
AD 310 Art for the Elementary Classroom Teacher
Offered: Fall, Winter
2 cr.
Prerequisite: Admission to teacher education.
A survey of a variety of teaching strategies to implement concepts of knowledge, values and
skills in the art classroom. Special emphasis is placed on art criticism, aesthetics, art history, art
production, child development, drawing, painting, paper, crayons, printmaking, fibers and
lesson planning.Emphasis is placed on design, creativity, visual structures, child development,
artists, art criticism, aesthetics, lesson planning, and art production using a variety of media.
k. AD 317: Alternative Photographic Practices
1. Change Course Description
Rationale: The course description more accurately reflects the material covered in the course as
it has evolved over the last three years with updated facilities and equipment including digital
technology. The elimination of the 4x5 view camera and studio lighting from the course avoids
repetition in AD 417.
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 21 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
Proposed Course Description:
AD 317 Alternative Photographic Practices 4 cr.
Offered: Winter
Prerequisite: AD 217.
Introduction to traditional and alternative photographic darkroom practices along with
advanced digital image manipulation. practices and advanced digital negative formation.
Students explore and array methods for creating imagery in both the darkroom setting and
computer studio. Introduction to 4 x 5 view camera and studio lighting is included using
traditional film, hand-built and toy cameras in addition to creating photographs from alternative
chemical processes. Each student must have access to a camera of any format.
l. AD 319: Illustration: Seminar
1. Change Course Description
Rationale: With the popularity and importance of digital media in the contemporary illustration
field, it is necessary to place it more prominently in the description.
Proposed Course Description:
AD 319 Illustration: Seminar
Offered: Fall
4 cr.
Prerequisite: AD 219.
Digital media is studied as a picture-making tool for illustrators. Emphasis on assignments that
closely parallel illustration problems encountered in the profession while stressing the interaction
of image and social meaning. Study of digital media.
m. AD 334: Electronic Imaging: 3D
1. Change name from Electronic Imaging: 3D to Computer Art:
Integration
2. Change Course Description
Rationale: With an increased emphasis on 3D modeling and animation in earlier courses, a
dedicated 3D course is unnecessary. The course will instead emphasize integrating concepts used
in previous courses (photoillustration, animation, 3D modeling) in an increasingly complex
fashion. Current professional practices require program integration; artists exchange files for
projects and production companies exchange files in their efforts to complete large projects.
Advanced topics in the overlaps of animation, modeling, and interaction will be explored.
Proposed Course Description:
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 22 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
AD 334 Electronic Imaging: 3D Computer Art: Integration
Offered: Fall
4 cr.
Prerequisite: AD 234 or instructor's permission.
Development of concepts and methods for the modeling, texturing and animation of threedimensional forms. Industry uses of modeling such as gaming and time-based narrative will be
presented. Development of concepts and practices of computer art with an emphasis on
integrative methods of production. Creative and commercial applications for scripting and
interactivity will be presented.
n. AD 411: Human Centered Design: Design Research
1. Change Name from Human Centered Design: Seminar
to Human Centered Design: Design Research
2. Change Course Description
Rationale: Design research has become an increasingly valuable tool to identify consumer
needs, behaviors and trends. This course will implement such strategies through a series of team
projects. The projects assigned will enhance the students’ critical thinking process to define
solutions for specific demographics rather than producing presumptuous artifacts.
Proposed Course Description:
AD 411 Human Centered Design: Seminar Design Research
Offered: Fall
4 cr.
Prerequisite: AD 303, AD 311 and junior standing or instructor's permission.
Continued research and development of concepts and techniques related to personal interests in
design and culture. Implementation of design research methodologies through collaborative
projects.
o. AD 417: Photography: Seminar
1. Change Name from Photography: Seminar to Commercial
Studio Lighting
2. Change Course Description
Rationale: The new course description more accurately describes the content of the course as it
has evolved over the past three years with the addition of updated digital equipment and software
in keeping with a continuously changing photographic industry.
Proposed Course Description:
AD 417 Photography: Seminar Commercial Studio Lighting
Offered: Fall
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
4cr.
Page 23 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
Prerequisite: AD 303, AD 317 and junior standing or instructor’s permission.
Advanced studio application of the 4 x 5 view camera using color transparency. Utilization of
the computer with photographic image making is presented. Students develop portfolios with an
emphasis on continuity. Advanced studio lighting techniques for both portraiture and table-top
compositions using large format digital camera capture techniques tethered to computer to
replicate current commercial studio theory and practices. Students develop professional
portfolios for entrance into the commercial photographic industry.
p. AD 419: Illustration: Seminar
1. Change Course Description
Rationale: In the new illustration markets that students are investigating it needs to be clear that
social concerns and their own voice should not be abandoned, hence the clarification of the
opening statement. Deletion of the “chosen by the student” statement is due to the need for more
direction required in some cases. There will still be opportunities for the student to guide his/her
projects to meet a personal vision. However, in the best interest of the student, the instructor
must to be able to assign projects that would benefit their development the most. The original
phrase makes it sound too self-guided. Professional studio habits will be practiced and client / art
director concerns will be highlighted.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
AD 419 Illustration: Seminar 4 cr.
Offered: Fall, Winter
Prerequisite: AD 303, AD 319 and junior standing or instructor's permission.
Illustration markets and career opportunities are investigated. Work focuses on areas of
illustration and media, chosen by the student. Students investigate illustration markets and career
opportunities, while continuing development of social meaning and personal artistic expression
within their work. Emphasis on the role of a professional illustrator.
q. AD 434: Electronic Imaging: Seminar
1. Change Name from Electronic Imaging: Seminar to Computer
Art: Seminar
2. Change Course Description
Rationale: The structure of 434 will continue to be seminar in nature, but the focus of the
seminar will shift toward advanced implementations of the previous coursework. Traditional
media integrations will be omitted in favor of computer-art-specific techniques and concepts,
techniques like data scraping and motion capture that are unique to the domain of computers
(and computer art, by association). Students will be expected to increase facility with the content
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 24 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
of previous courses (photoillustration, modeling, animation, scripting) while undertaking
increasingly complex conceptual projects.
Proposed Course Description:
AD 434 Electronic Imaging: Computer Art: Seminar
Offered: Winter
4 cr.
Prerequisite: AD 303, AD 334 and junior standing or instructor's permission.
Development of concepts and methods for electronic imaging computer art using a variety of
software and hardware. Contemporary techniques using resources from traditional media such
as graphic design, illustration, painting, photography and video are incorporated. Ideological
issues concerning electronic imaging are presented. Contemporary methods of input, output,
display and interaction will be explored.
r. AD 456: Illustration: BFA Seminar
1. Change Course Description
Rationale: “…demonstrating mastery of illustration problems” was deleted because it is overreaching in its claim. The statement can read as though there is no more work to be done
regarding a student’s artistic skills. Much is dependent on work ethic, motivation, and previous
skill level of the individual students. The additional sentence is included to better inform students
and prospective students about where business issues are covered in the curriculum.
Proposed Course Description:
AD 456 Illustration: BFA Seminar
Offered: Fall, Winter
4 cr.
Prerequisite: AD 303 and AD 419 and junior standing or instructor's permission.
Completion of a competitive professional portfolio, demonstrating mastery of illustration
problems in their chosen area, with students choosing the concepts, themes and techniques. that
focuses on an area within the illustration marketplace befitting each student’s professional goals.
Discussions will highlight business concerns including copyright, contracts, invoices, pricing,
and self-promotion.
s. AD 467: Electronic Imaging: BFA Seminar
1. Change Name from Electronic Imaging: BFA Seminar to
Computer Art: BFA Seminar
2. Change Course Description
Rationale: The course content is unchanged. The course emphasizes the development of the
individual student portfolio. The proposed description is somewhat more vague than the existing
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 25 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
description to accommodate the diverse range of student projects that are completed in the
course. The proposed description also eliminates dated terminology such as “interactive media.”
Proposed Course Description:
AD 467 Electronic Imaging: Computer Art: BFA Seminar
Offered: Winter Fall
4 cr.
Prerequisite: AD 303, AD 434 and junior standing or instructor's permission.
Development of an electronic imaging portfolio presentation and ideological statement. Self
promotion with an emphasis on job search will be explored through the development of
interactive media such as a Web site. Development of a computer art portfolio through a major
individual or collaborative studio project. Pursuit of areas of personal interest within computer
art and exploration of new ideas in realization of artistic goals.
ii. Revise Art and Design Curriculum
a. BFA Requirements: Electronic Imaging
1. Rename Electronic Imaging to Computer Art
2. Revise Curriculum to Incorporate Name Changes
3. Eliminate AD 218: Graphic Communication: Typographical
Systems as an Option under Specific Requirements
4. Add CS 120: Computer Science I (4cr.) as a Specific
Requirement
5. Decrease Art and Design Electives from 20 to 16
Rationale: The title Electronic Imaging was created approximately twenty-five years ago during
the creation of the major. At the time, such programs were uncommon in university settings.
Since that time, Electronic Imaging as a title has come to typically describe curriculum dealing
with imaging technologies related to optics and electronics, typically situated within electronic
engineering programs. Computer Art has become a more standardized description within
universities to describe the Electronic Imaging curriculum – utilizing computers and computer
software to create art but more specifically, using computers and computer software to create art
designed to use the computer as the display/output medium.
Proposed Course Description: See Appendix A
Departments Affected: Math and Computer Science with the inclusion of CS 120.
ii. BFA Requirements: Digital Cinema
1. Add AD 280: History of Photography (4cr.) to General
Requirements
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 26 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
2. Add AD 355: Twentieth Century Art and Architecture (4cr.) to
General Requirements
3. Add Statement “Required as part of the art history electives”
under General Requirements
4. Eliminate AD 234: Electronic Imaging: Web Design from
Specific Requirements
5. Eliminate AD 334: Electronic Imaging: 3D from Specific
Requirements
6. Revise Curriculum to Incorporate Name Changes
7. Increase Art and Design Electives from 12 to 16
8. Revise Statement “Students may substitute broadcasting,
theater or music courses with adviser approval” to “Students
may substitute film studies, broadcasting or theater courses
with adviser approval”
Rationale: There are currently two elective art history courses in the BFA Digital Cinema
program. Two specific courses dealing with twentieth century art and the history of photography
will specifically benefit Digital Cinema majors and provide a foundation in art history that can
be addressed in Digital Cinema courses. With elective choices, a Digital Cinema course can
never assume a student has specific art history knowledge.
The spirit of the substitutions is to allow other “hands-on” experiences related to cinematic
production or experiences directly related to the history/theory of cinema. The music courses that
a typical student may take (without being a music major/minor) do not fit the spirit of the
substitutions. Likewise, the addition of film studies courses does fit the spirit of the substitutions.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix A
iii. BFA Requirements: Graphic Communication
1. Eliminate AD 234: Electronic Imagining: Web Design as an
Option under Specific Requirements
2. Revise Curriculum to Incorporate Name Changes
3. Increase Art and Design Electives from 16 to 20
Rationale: These revisions and updates reflect changes in course content and needs of the
program.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix A
iv. BFA Requirements: Illustration
1. Revise Curriculum to Incorporate Name Changes
2. Eliminate AD 334: Electronic Imaging: 3D as an Option under
Specific Requirements
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 27 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
Rationale: These revisions and updates reflect changes in course content and needs of the
program.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix A
v. BFA Requirements: Photography
1. Revise Curriculum to Incorporate Name Changes
Rationale: These revisions and updates reflect changes in course content and needs of the
program.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix A
vi. BFA Requirements: Human Centered Design
1. Revise Curriculum to Incorporate Name Changes
2. Revise Specific Requirements
a. Delete AD 122 or AD 123 or AD 124 (4cr.)
b. Delete AD 216 or AD 222 or AD 223 or AD224 (4cr.)
c. Add AD 122 Ceramics: Handbuilding Techniques or AD
222 Ceramics: Wheel Forms (4cr.)
d. Add AD 123 Jewelry/Metalsmithing or AD 223
Blacksmithing/Metalsmithing (4cr.)
e. Add AD 124 Woodworking: Joinery and Greenwood or
AD 224 Woodworking: Turning and Bending (4cr.)
3. Delete Art and Design Electives (4cr.)
4. Delete Other Required Courses (8cr.)
Rationale: Students rarely observe the requirements for the major and enroll in other EN 211
courses and in some cases, transfer students have not taken specifically a 200-level Technical
and Report Writing course. This has become problematic in the sense that many course
substitution forms need to be filled out. TE 351 Humanity and Technology has proven not to be
valid to the discussions and topics discussed in Human-Centered Design.
Currently, students are required to take one studio course at the 100- and 200-level in other areas
of woods, metals and ceramics. The proposed change would add more diversity of knowledge
and technique in their crafting abilities by requiring one more course that is specific to threedimensional media and requiring one course in each of the areas listed above.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix A
g. Pre-Architecture Program
1. Add DD 100: Technical Drafting with Introduction to CAD
(4cr.)
2. Add AD 120: Drawing (4cr.) to “Choose two courses from the
following list” (1st one)
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 28 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
3.
4.
5.
6.
Add AD 124: Woodworking: Joinery and Greenwood (4cr.) to
“Choose two courses from the following list” (1st one)
Delete AD 260: Why America Looks This Way (4cr.) from
“Choose two courses from the following list” (2nd one)
Add AD 230: History of World Art I (4cr.) to
“Choose two courses from the following list” (2nd one)
Add AD 365: History of Modern Design (4cr.) to
“Choose two courses from the following list” (2nd one)
Rationale: The Pre-Architecture curriculum has not been updated in many years. Changes in
requirements of architecture programs nationwide have altered some of the expectations and
requirements of students transferring from pre-architecture programs into full architecture
programs. The proposed changes bring NMU’s pre-architecture program closer to national
architecture program expectations.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix A
Departments Affected: DD 100 being required.
iii. Modify Associate’s Degree Curriculum as Mandated by Higher Learning
Commission
a. Change Liberal Studies Requirements from 12 to 16
b. Add “Choose one course from the following Visual and Performing
Arts Electives (4cr.): AD 200, AD 230, AD 240, or AD 260
c. Decrease Major Course Credits from 22 to 18
d. Eliminate “Choose One Course from the Following” (4cr.): AD 200,
AD 230, AD 240, AD 260, or AD 280.
Rationale: The Higher Learning Commission requires at least 15 credits of Liberal Studies
courses for all Associates Degrees. The inclusion of Art History courses as part of the Liberal
Studies group meets this requirement. The AD 280 course was eliminated from the list since it is
not an approved Liberal Studies course (AD 200, 230, 240, and 260 are all approved in Division
VI). This change has been pre-approved by the Registrar as fulfilling the HLC requirement.
(From a practical viewpoint, the majority of students would double-count the Art History
courses for Division VI if they were to continue toward a Bachelor’s Degree at NMU.)
Proposed Course Description: See Appendix A
3. College of Business
i. Suspend Accounting/Financial Planning major
Rationale: CoB cannot offer the classes in the financial planning track needed for students to
complete the major.
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 29 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
CUP Notification: November 6, 2012
ii. Modify Existing Courses
Date of Implementation: Fall 2013
1. MGT 341: Event Planning
a. Change Prerequisites from “MGT 240, admission into the
College of Business or instructor permission” to “Junior or
Senior level or instructor permission”
Rationale: This course has evolved over time from originally 1 course to two courses. This is the
first in the sequence; the other course, MGT 342 Event Management, is offered in the winter and
students spend that entire course working in teams with community members. Originally,
knowledge of the content of MGT 240 (teams, leadership, communication, etc.) was needed due
to the teamwork/management aspects of the course. MGT 341, Event Planning, does NOT
require that knowledge in its current state so that knowledge is not needed. Allowing students to
enroll in MGT 341 while concurrently taking MGT 240 will then allow seniors to be able to take
the entire MGT 341/342 sequence before graduation.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
Prerequisite: Junior or Senior level or instructor permission
2. MGT 342: Event Management
a. Change Prerequisites from “MGT 240, admission into the College of
Business or instructor permission” to “MGT 240 and MGT 341, or
instructor permission
Rationale: Students need knowledge of teamwork, gained from MGT 240, before participating
in MGT 342, Event Management. This pair of requests for this course sequence simply moves
the prerequisite requirement of MGT 240 from the fall course (MGT 341) to the winter course
(MGT342) where the need for that course content actually exists. Moving the listing of MGT
240 to a prerequisite for this course is more accurate and will allow students to complete the
341/342 sequence in one academic year even while taking MGT 240 during the fall semester.

Modify Existing Course—BI 412: Biometrics
a. Rename BI 412: Biometrics to BI 412: Biostatistics
b. Change Course Description
Rationale: Name change: Although the words “biometry” and “biometrics” were once popular
synonyms for “biostatistics,” their use has become less common. In fact, “biometrics” has been
usurped by an unrelated field concerning the use of biological measures for digital identification
purposes (e.g. retinal scans; see Wikipedia definition). “Biostatistics” is less ambiguous and
frequently used in the title of current textbooks. It applies to the basic and specialized
application of statistics to biological data.
Description: The existing description probably hasn’t been changed in more than 30 years. The
proposed description is more up-to-date (e.g. computer software rather than “desk calculators,”
which haven’t been used since the 1970’s) and gives a more complete list of topics, so students
can better assess what is covered in BI 412 compared to other courses with statistical content
(e.g. BI 412 is very applied whereas MA 171 Introduction to Probability and Statistics covers
more theory)

Design and classification of experiments, methods of estimation and testing of hypotheses
related to experiments. Desk calculators are used to solve simple problems involving data
available from the student’s field of study. Application of statistics to biological data, with
emphasis on experimental design, sampling distributions, hypothesis testing and inferential
statistics. Topics include elementary parametric and nonparametric statistical analyses, various
ANOVA designs, analysis of covariance, correlation, linear and non-linear regression, multiple
regression, categorical analysis, and an introduction to multivariate statistics. This course
emphasizes problem-solving using SPSS and other statistical software.

Add BI 290: Fisheries and Wildlife Seminar
Add BI 314: Introduction to Marine Biology
Add BI 466: Stream Ecology
Combine “Behavioral , Population, and Community Ecology
Elective” (4cr.) and “Ecosystems Elective” (4cr.) into a New
Group Named “Advanced Ecology Electives” (7-8cr.)
5. Change “Advanced Ecology Electives” from “Choose one” to
“Choose two”
6. Revise “Taxonomic and Organismal Electives” (6-8cr.) to
“Biology Electives” (7-8cr.)
b. Revise Fisheries and Wildlife Major—Fisheries Track
1. Add BI 215: Evolution (4cr.)
2. Add BI 466: Stream Ecology (4cr.)
c. Revise Fisheries and Wildlife Major—Botany Track
1. Change “Choose eight credits from the following:” to “Choose
nine credits from the following:”
Rationale:
Existing Courses Added Into Majors--BI 290, BI 314, and BI 466 have content that is
appropriate for the Biology Major—Ecology Emphasis. Likewise, BI 466 Stream Ecology is an
excellent addition to the Fisheries Track of the Fisheries and Wildlife Management Major. BI
215 Principles of Evolution is in the core of all Biology majors, but due to accreditation
restrictions, we were unable to include it in the core of the F & W major. The only place in that
major with a little wiggle room too include BI 215 is in the Biology Cluster of the Fisheries
Track.
Combining and Renaming Elective Groups in the Ecology Emphasis--The distinction
between the Behavioral, Population, and Community Elective Group vs. Ecosystem Elective
Group has become blurred. Many upper division ecology classes, especially the newer ones,
have content that spans both elective groups. By combining the two groups into an “Advanced
Ecology Electives” group, it eliminates this ambiguity. Furthermore, it provides students with
more flexibility in choices and scheduling. Most of the courses in these groups are on an “everyother-year” schedule, which has resulted in a nightmarish number of course substitutions for
students trying to complete their degree. The proposed regrouping will alleviate this problem.
Renaming “Taxonomic and Organismal Electives” to “Biology Electives”--The list of
courses that a student can use to fulfill this requirement is much broader than the current title
suggest. They can use organismal centered courses like Ornithology (study of birds), but also
courses from the various elective groups, seminars, internships, and directed studies. “Biology
Electives,” is simpler and more accurate. Very few students realize that they can use courses
from other elective groups to meet this requirement, so we have suggested a simple carriage
return to better emphasize this option.

iii.
Create BI 417: Comparative Neuroanatomy (4cr.)
Rationale: The department offered a comparative neuroanatomy class as a special topics course
during the winter semester 2011. The course received strong positive feedback and achieved
full enrollment. This course will serve as an upper-level biology course for both physiology and
zoology majors. It is designed to be appropriate for any student who has completed the
introductory level biology courses, as well as courses in introductory cell and molecular biology,
human anatomy and human physiology or comparative anatomy and animal physiology. The
course will cover the basics of the evolution of the vertebrate nervous system, the functional
anatomical divisions of the vertebrate brain and spinal cord, and the relationship between
neuroanatomical structures and vertebrate behavior. This course represents a significant
expansion of course content provided by our department. It is appropriate to offer it at the 400level as it relies on a moderate-to-extensive background in cellular biology and physiology
currently provided by 100- and 200-level courses and represents a specialized sub-discipline of
health science.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
BI 417: Comparative Vertebrate Neuroanatomy
4 credits (4-0-0); Undergraduate
Offered: Winter Semesters, odd years
Prerequisites: BI 111, BI 112, BI 218, and BI 201, BI 202, or BI 221 and BI 327 or
instructor’s permission
This course provides a(n): (1) evolutionary anatomical history of vertebrate brain structures, (2)
lectures and laboratory exploring the anatomical divisions of the vertebrate brain and spinal cord,
and (3) a survey of how brain structure and function relates to vertebrate behavior.
Departments Affected: The only courses offered on campus that are remotely similar to the
proposed BI 417 Comparative Neuroanatomy course are in the Speech, Hearing and Language
Sciences Department and Psychology Department and are SL 459 (Cognitive Neuroscience), PY
204 (Physiological Psychology), PY 303 (Neuropsychology), and PY 404 (Advanced
Physiological Psychology). We do not foresee any conflict between these courses, and in fact,
several students that enrolled in the Biology special topics comparative neuroanatomy course
were Psychology majors. The content of the proposed class is complementary to the courses
provided by the aforementioned departments and will focus on the evolution and functional
divisions of the vertebrate brain. We also anticipate that Psychology may add the proposed BI
417 course as a potential upper-division elective in their curriculum.
We hope to continue to teach this course as a multidisciplinary option for undergraduates in the
Psychology Department.
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013

CUP: February 5, 2013
Majors Affected: This course can be used as an elective in General Biology General, Secondary
Education Biology, and Zoology majors. It can also be used in the Biology Major - Physiology
Emphasis.
Costs: This course fits into the schedule of current faculty. The laboratory costs when taught as
a special topic course were approximately $1000 and were offset by fees paid by students.

Modify Broadcasting Curriculum
a. Eliminate BC 165: Introduction to Mass Media as a Prerequisite
from the Following Courses:
1. BC 310: Sports and Special Events Programming
2. BC 415: Intercultural Communication
3. BC 420: Global Communication
4. BC 470 Mass Communication Law
5. BC 471: Mass Communication and Society
Rationale: In the past, the BC 165 Introduction to Mass Media prerequisite served to limit
enrollment in upper-level broadcasting courses to students who had prior experience taking other
courses in the broadcasting major. Over time, the faculty has developed the content of many
upper-level broadcasting courses to serve both majors and non-majors. To accommodate students
from a wider background, BC 415, BC 420, BC 470, and BC 471 no longer assume detailed
prior knowledge of BC 165 topics. As a consequence, the prerequisite now needlessly deters
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 34 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
students from taking these advanced courses. Currently, students who seek advising learn that
they can get into the courses by using an add card; however, many students do not seek advising
on this matter. For courses where prior experience within the major or the university is required,
the “Junior standing” requirement remains. Since this change is merely updating the bulletin to
make the current procedure more efficient, there should be no impact other than saving time for
faculty and students.
b. Modify BC 310: Sports and Special Events Programming
1. Eliminate ESPR 260: Entertainment and Sports Research and
Focus Groups Prerequisite
2. Add Recommendation to Take BC 272: Studio Television
Production
Rationale: BC 310 has become more focused on live multi-camera production and no longer
requires foundational knowledge of ESPR 260 Entertainment and Sports Research and Focus
Groups. Over the past few years, the instructor has waived the prerequisite for students who ask.
Since this change is merely updating the bulletin to make the current procedure more efficient,
there should be no impact other than saving time for faculty and students. Additionally, the
ESPR program has been suspended and ESPR 260 will not likely be offered again.
The acquisition of new multi-camera production equipment has allowed the class to spend a
significant amount of time shooting multi-camera productions of NMU events. Although some
students are able to adapt to this type of production quickly, others would benefit from taking BC
272 “Studio Television Production” to learn about multi-camera production beforehand. This
should have no impact other than helping students know what to expect from the course.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
BC 310 Sports and Special Events Programming
4 cr.
Offered: Contact department.
Prerequisite: BC 165 and ESPR 260. BC 265 and BC 272 are is recommended, but not
required.
Students produce and promote televised sports and entertainment programming including local
high school and college events. Students learn live announcing, pre-event research, recording
sports statistics and creating promotional broadcast announcements. Students participate as crew
members for productions. Course includes field experience.
c. Delete SP 110: Interpersonal Communication Prerequisite from BC
415: Intercultural Communication
Rationale: As the course has evolved over time, prerequisite knowledge of SP 110
“Interpersonal Communication” is no longer necessary for completing the course goals.
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 35 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
Inclusion of the prerequisite hinders students from enrolling, especially those outside the
department who may want the course to fulfill the world cultures liberal studies requirement.
Since this change is merely updating the bulletin to make the current procedure more efficient,
there should be no impact other than saving time for faculty and students.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
BC 415 Intercultural Communication
4 cr.
Offered: Fall

Applies toward the world cultures requirement.
Prerequisite: BC 165 and SP 110, junior Junior standing or instructor’s permission.
This course examines cultural differences in communication styles and systems across a variety
of national and American sub-cultural groups. Study includes both interpersonal and massmediated message systems.
Note: Does not satisfy the upper division liberal studies requirement.
d. Delete BC 325: Communication and Performance in Africa
Rationale: The professor with the expertise for teaching BC 325 is no longer with us. Since this
was a highly specialized topic, the course will no longer be offered. Another course that suits the
specialized knowledge of our current faculty may eventually replace it. The course has not been
offered for over two years, now. Initially, other courses may have slightly increased their
enrollment as they absorbed potential BC 325 students, though there has not been any analysis to
say whether this actually occurred. The primary impact of removing the course from the catalog
is to improve students’ ability to plan their courses. The course will also need to be removed
from the Liberal Studies Division VI and World Cultures lists. The change should not impact
other majors or departments.
e. Change from “letter graded” to “S/U”
1. BC 491: Broadcast Practicum
2. BC 492: Internship in Broadcasting
Rationale: Other practicum and internship courses in the CAPS department (e.g., SP 491, SP
492, PR 491, PR 492, TH 491, TH 492) are graded as “Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory,” largely
because of the imprecision involved in assigning a letter grade to activities in such courses. This
change will standardize the broadcasting courses with the rest of the CAPS practicum and
internship courses. The fact that it remains as a letter grade is an oversight; it was supposed to be
changed with the other 491/492 courses.
f. Create BC 480: Media and Politics (4cr.)
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 36 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
Rationale: Variations of Media and Politics have been previously taught as special topics
courses (BC 495), and the course is ready to become permanent. Political communication is a
recognized area of study at many universities, and a course such as this is beneficial to a variety
of students, including those in media, political science, and others who desire to understand the
influential role of media in government and democracy.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
BC 480 Media and Politics
4 cr.
Offered: Periodically, contact department
Prerequisite: Junior standing
Course examines the election process and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the
coverage in the media. The course will also review the types and quality of information available
about candidates, parties, and issues.
ii.
Modify Communication Curriculum
g. Delete SP 110: Interpersonal Communication Prerequisite
1. SP 421: Organizational Communication
2. SP 422: Crisis Communication
Rationale: In the past, the SP 110 Interpersonal Communication prerequisite was considered
essential to upper-level COMM courses. Over time, and especially after re-branding the major a
few years ago, the faculty has come to believe that the course, though essential for majors (see iii
below) and often useful for others, serves more as a hindrance for students wishing to augment
their studies in other disciplines than necessary. As such, the SP 110 prerequisite has become a
deterrent to non-major students who want to enroll and a nuisance for the professors who have to
sign add cards each semester because the computerized enrollment will not allow students in
automatically. For courses where prior experience within the major or the university is required,
the “Junior standing” requirement remains. Most upper-division SP-prefixed courses do not
currently require SP 110 and the elimination of the prerequisite for SP 421 and SP 422 merely
standardizes existing practice. In addition, the change will allow the department to better satisfy
student demand for lower-division SP-prefixed courses from outside the department given our
reduced staffing. Since this change is merely updating the Bulletin to make the current
procedure more efficient and consistent, there should be no impact other than saving time for
faculty and students.
h. Change Prerequisite to “Junior Standing” Only
1. SP 404: Communication and the Arts
2. SP 410: Advanced Interpersonal Communication
3. SP 412: Nonverbal Communication
4. SP 422: Crisis Communication
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 37 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
5. SP 425: Communication Ethics
Rationale: Our experience has repeatedly demonstrated that, similar to what has been observed
in other 400-level SP-prefixed courses that typically service non-majors as well as majors (e.g.,
SP 421 Organizational Communication, SP 432 Environmental Communication), success in
upper-division courses in the COMM major does not pivot upon having taken a “research”
course first. Rather, it is a matter of writing experiences across the curriculum, maturity at the
Junior level (a prerequisite that will remain on the books), and ability to access research
guidelines readily available in the library and elsewhere. In fact, precisely because the COMM
major does not currently a mandated sequence of courses to be taken by students (an issue we
address below in iii, iv, and v), many students in the major postpone taking the course until their
senior year, thus mitigating much subsequent pedagogical benefits such courses may have in the
curriculum. Since this change is merely updating the Bulletin to make formal procedure more
consistent with actual practice, and insofar as the propose course sequencing better manages
enrollment at various levels, there should be little or no additional impact.
i. Change the Prerequisites for SP 250: Research Methods and Careers
in Communication Studies to “Completion of EN 111 with a grade of
“C” or better and completion of SP 110 with a grade of “C-” or
better.
Rationale: When the faculty first proposed the SP 250 requirement in the 1990s, we believed
that a student should have some exposure to the field of communication studies before taking the
research methods course and opted to let them choose any two of our core 100-level courses (i.e.,
SP 100 Public Address and/or SP 110 Interpersonal Communication and/or SP 120 Small Group
Process) to gain that appreciation. Since then, this arrangement has become increasingly
problematic because of (a) our inability to offer a substantial number of each course each
semester, (b) the high number of transfer students who do not fit the scheme and need the
methods course, and/or (c) only SP 110 seems to provide enough of a conceptual or theoretical
basis to be of use in the research methods course. The proposed approach will give us more
degrees of freedom in teaching SP 250 more than once a year (to meet student demand) and to
concentrate resources in offering additional sections of SP 110. This change may impact our
ability to service students from other majors who want to take public speaking or small group
communication courses but that is a non-unique consequence we clearly spelled-out for the
administration before we lost 1 FTETF in FY 2012.
j. Add SP 250 Research Methods and Careers in Communication
Studies Prerequisite to SP 310: Communication Theory
Rationale: Previously, believing it would be a viable means of managing enrollments, COMM
faculty agreed that any given student in the major could not take more than one upper-division
course prior to passing SP 250 (that, in part, was designed to hone writing skills and “weed out”
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 38 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
students who believe COMM is an “easy” major). This has proven to be an ill-considered
assumption. Since students generally do not have to meet with their advisor to register for
courses, and since most upper-division courses do not have a formal prerequisite to that effect
(precisely because non-majors also wish to enroll), we have not been able to meet the letter and
spirit of our informal agreement. The situation has resulted in majors merely “shopping” for
courses they could take without the benefit of a staged approach to advancing through the
curriculum (e.g., see the problem of Seniors taking SP 250 noted above), taking SP 310 their last
semester, and putting pressure on the faculty to exceed course caps beyond reasonable limits for
moderately writing-intensive courses offered in the upper-division. Although it is impractical to
manage overall enrollments in 400-level courses through the use of prerequisites, SP 310 is a
course that, for the most part, only COMM or PUBR majors and minors take. Thus, making SP
250 a prerequisite serves as a hedge against some of the problems noted above.
k. Add “SP 310: Communication Theory and registration for
graduation, in addition to completion of 32 credits in the major”
Prerequisites for SP 480: Communication Capstone
Rationale: SP 480 serves as the venue for assessing learning outcomes in the COMM major.
However, the department is repeatedly encountering instances where students are enrolling in the
course before they have completed most of their upper-division courses in the major, especially
SP 310 Communication Theory (e.g., a student enrolls for SP 120, SP 310, SP 404, BC 420, and
SP 480 in an effort to graduate sooner). This situation renders measurement of outcomes largely
suspect and requires undue record checking on the part of faculty so as to administratively drop
students from class if they cannot be persuaded to do otherwise. However, by carefully
managing when we offer SP 310 and requiring co-enrollment in graduation, the job of enforcing
the existing 32 credit requirement is made much easier. This change would only affect COMM
majors and would result in a far more defensible flow to the curriculum.
l. Create SP 320: New Media Literacy (4cr.)
Rationale: SP 320 serves as a theoretical and applied “bridge” course between largely skills
based SP-prefixed courses at the 100- and 200-levels in the COMM curriculum and the more
advanced, conceptually-driven specialty courses at the upper-division. As with other courses in
the curriculum, New Media Literacy warrants a 4 credit designation due to expanse of issues
covered and the time needed to present material so that students can effectively hone their
analytic and practical skills.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:

The study of various forms of “new” media such as Twitter, blogging, and Facebook. Topics
include description of and practices associated with various forms of new media, the ethics
associated with usage, and the impact of new media on society.
m. Modify COMM Major
1. Add SP 320: New Media Literacy as a Requirement
2. Delete SP 300: Rhetorical Theory as a Requirement
3. Add BC 480: Media and Politics as an Elective
Rationale: For the past few years, results from the SP 480 COMM assessment process has
demonstrated that our students desire and need a course dealing with the theory and social
practice of using various forms of new media (e.g., tweets, blogs, wikis, apps, movements,
memes, likes and plusses, tags, text messages. This course introduces students to both the
literature about and direct experience with these relatively new forms of communication. It will
focus upon research foundations and practical methods to control attention, attitudes and tools
necessary for critical consumption of information, best practices of individual digital
participation and collective participatory culture, the use of collaborative media and
methodologies, and the application of network know-how to life online. Currently, CAPS has a
number of faculty members who are well-versed in the theory and practice of new media usage
(thus, there will not be a need to add faculty to teach the course) and we intend to substitute SP
320 for the current requirement of SP 300 Rhetorical Theory (see ii below), thereby not
increasing the overall credits in the major. We anticipate that, after gaining in-house experience,
we may petition to have SP 320 added to the liberal studies offerings at NMU. This course will
not affect other departments and existing library resources should be sufficient.
In addition to most COMM and PUBR majors reporting that the current SP 300 course does little
to improve upon their skills and knowledge at graduation, the faculty believes that the essential
concepts contained in Rhetorical Theory can be woven into other required courses in the
curriculum to gain more efficiency in the delivery of material. For example, many universities
around the country currently offer only a single upper-division “theory” course that combines
both humanistic and social scientific approached to conceptualizing communication processes
and we intend to emulate those courses in redesigning SP 310. This change will not result in a
need for any additional resources and will not affect other departments.
Variations of Media and Politics have been previously taught as special topics courses during
presidential election years (BC 495) and we are now requesting that the course become a
permanent addition to our elective offerings (see elsewhere in this CUP request). In the past, we
have always allowed the course to substitute for a course that is on the approved list of electives
for the major (retaining the provision that COMM majors may only count one BC-prefixed
course). This change will merely standardize the practice and reduce the time and paperwork
needed to process course substitutions through the Office of the Registrar. No new equipment or
supplies will be required and there are no projected costs. Since the course has been taught in
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 40 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
the past, the current holdings of the library are sufficient. There will be minimal if any effects on
other departments.

i. Geomatics Major Revisions
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix D
a. Remove CIS 155: Software Development I (4cr.) from the Core
b. Add CS 101: Website Construction (4cr.) to the Core
Rationale: CS 101 is designed to teach students the fundament concepts behind the technologies
of the World Wide Web, including computer programming, network protocols, browser-server
interaction, mark-up languages, procedural languages, file serving, data serving, and humancomputer interaction. We feel that this course will better serve the needs of Geomatics majors
than CIS 155 did. Much of the GIS world is connected through Web based technologies. Sharing
data and mapping information for example are occurring over Web based infrastructures. This
course will equip Geomatics majors with the skills associated with Web based technologies.
c. Add CIS 464: Database Management Systems (4cr.) to the Electives
d. Add CS 440: Advanced Web Programming (3cr.) to the Electives
Rationale: CS 460 will teach Geomatics students to program client/server applications for the
Web focusing on database integration. These technologies can be a central component of web
based Geomatics applications and in particular web based applications involving database
integration.
Geomatics courses depend on a solid understanding of databases. GC 464 will provide students
with a survey of applied database systems topics.
e. Remove “Other Required Courses”
Rationale: With the support of staff from the Lydia M. Olson Library at NMU, background
material is presented in GC 205 Introduction to Geographic Research (a required course in the
Geomatics major) ensuring that students have the computer experience and database-searching
skills that they need to succeed in GC 205 and in other courses in the Geomatics major. The AIS
101 and CIS 110 prerequisites had created a bottleneck in getting students through their degree
programs, and last year we dropped the AIS 101 and CIS 110 prerequisite/requirement from all
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 41 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
of our other majors. It was an oversight that we did not request that AIS 101 and CIS 110 be
dropped from the Geomatics major. When we realized our mistake we were told to submit a
CUP proposal this year.
ii. Add GC 202: Soils as an Elective in the Environmental Studies and
Sustainability Major
Rationale: An understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soils and soil
formation are essential for students who are interested in sustainable agriculture, urban
sustainability, urban farming, and permaculture design. Several of our students majoring in
ENSS in Sustainability have requested that they be able to substitute GC 202 Soils in their
electives. The EEGS faculty members have agreed that this course option will strengthen the
ENSS major. The Registrar has approved of this substitution for individual students, but we
would like each student with the ENSS major to have the option of taking GC 202 Soils as a
degree requirement.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix D
iii. Rename and renumber GC 260: Minerals and Rocks to GC 376: Field
Geology
Rationale: The revised course will provide expertise in a discipline-specific aspect of field
techniques, while incorporating the majority of the content currently being delivered in the class
(visiting significant geologic sites, collecting data and rock and mineral samples, and interpreting
the geologic processes that produced the features observed). The revised course will emphasize
data collection techniques (including mineral and rock identification and sampling),
interpretation, and communication of the data through field notes, maps, and reports. Finally, the
revised course will incorporate a semester-long geologic mapping project, using local data
collected in the field by standard geologic field techniques. [Shorten Version]

minerals, their occurrence, formation and economic importance. Field trips are required and are
commonly taken in the laboratory period. Students will travel to many sites of geologic
importance to collect samples and data, and interpret the geologic history through their
observations. Techniques for collection and interpretation of geologic information, and the
presentation of that information in the form of geologic maps and reports, are included.

a. GC 370: Geomorphology
Rationale: GC 370 Geomorphology is the study of landforms on Earth, and the processes that
form them. Maps are the most essential tool that a geomorphologist has available for such
interpretations. Map interpretation is an integral part of nearly every laboratory assignment and,
therefore, GC 225 Introduction to Maps should be included as a prerequisite.

Prerequisite: GC 225; and GC 100 or GC 255 or instructor's permission.
b. GC 465: Hydrology
Rationale: The GC 465 Hydrology course has a significant spatial laboratory component, and as
for GC 370 Geomorphology, maps are an essential tool in the interpretation and presentation of
hydrologic data. GC 225 Introduction to Maps, therefore, needs to be added as a prerequisite.
Because GC 465 is a senior/graduate-level course, there are expectations of a fundamental
knowledge of the physical Earth. Without such a background, students have difficulty
comprehending the complex processes as water moves through the various components of the
hydrologic cycle. Thus, GC 100 Physical Geography or GC 255 Physical Geology are proposed
as new prerequisites for the Hydrology course.
Finally, the Hydrology course content and expectations (labs in particular) are designed to
prepare students for professional or graduate life by writing a research paper, and submissions of
all laboratory assignments must be in the form of a technical report. The composition course EN
211D should be required before students take GC 465 Hydrology.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
GC 465 Hydrology
Prerequisite: GC 225; GC 235 or MA 171; GC 100 or GC 255; EN 211; and junior standing or
instructor's permission. (Note: EN 211D Scientific and Technical Report Writing will be
recommended)
8. Department of Economics
i.
Create EC 295: Special Topics
Rationale: The Department of Economics already offers EC 495 Special Topics in Economics,
which is intended for advanced students with the purpose of going deeper in some area of
Economics. However, there is no equivalent at a lower level. It is possible to find a variety of
topics that can be studied from an economic perspective, without requiring the students having
previous knowledge of economics. To offer courses that target the students’ different interests,
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 43 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
providing an interdisciplinary perspective will be truly valuable. To make it accessible to any
student, no prerequisites in Economics will be needed.
In addition, it provides the means to assist transfer students that have taken lower level courses in
Economics that do not match with courses currently being offered by the Department of
Economics.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
EC 295 Special Topics in Economics
1-4 cr.
Offered: On demand
Prerequisite: None required
Variable content, depending upon the specialization of the instructor and the special needs of the
students.
Note: May be repeated if topic differs
Date of Implementation: Fall 2013
9. Department of Engineering Technology
i. Modify Programs
a. Electrical Technology Electrical Power Technician Concentration
1. Delete CIS 110
2. Decrease Electrical Power Technician Electives from 20 to 17
3. Delete General Electives
Rationale: The vast majority of students taking this concentration have sufficient computer skills
required for the coursework and these skills are built upon in the required courses such that
graduates have adequate skills for subsequent employment. Students needing basic instruction in
computer skills can still be advised into CIS 110 as there are sufficient electives available.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix E.
b. Alternative Energies Minor
4. Delete ET 110: Introduction to Electricity (4cr.)
5. Delete HV 270: Heating Systems II (4cr.)
6. Add Electives 8 Credits
a. Choose from the following:
i. BI 111 (4cr.)
ii. CH 105 (4cr.)
iii. DD 105 (2cr.)
iv. ET 101 (2 cr.)
v. ET 110 (4cr.)

ET 113 (4cr.)
HV 270 (4cr.)
MKT 230 (4cr.)
ENV 101 (4cr.)
MGT 216 (4cr.)
Rationale: The alternative energies minor as currently offered is aimed at the student who
wishes to pursue actively installing or working with alternative energy technologies at the
technical level. By keeping the fundamental courses but allowing alternatives that are
advantageous to alternative energies career paths other than technical a wider range of students
may be served.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix E.
c. Electronics Minor
7. Add ET 110 (4cr.) OR ET 112 (4cr.) and ET 113 (4cr.)
8. Add “Any 200 level or higher ET course” under Electives 4-8
cr.
9. Delete “Choose from the following:” and courses
Rationale: While ET 112 and ET 113 are required as foundation courses for Electronics majors,
for a student only desiring a minor they provide more depth than is really necessary. This
change will allow students to enter the minor with ET 110 freeing up 4 credits for other
electronics courses that are of interest to the student.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix E.
d. Mechanical Engineering Technology Major
10. Reduce Major Courses Credit from 34 to 31
11. Move DD 100 (4cr.) from the Major to Other Required
Courses
12. Revise MET 310
13. Reduce Concentration Credits from 15 to 14
14. Revise Choose 15 credits to 14 credits
a. Mechanical Engineering Design Concentration
b. Industrial Electrical Technology Concentration
c. Industrial Technology Concentration
d. CNC Technology Concentration
15. Eliminate DD 102 Engineering Graphics (3cr.) from the
Mechanical Engineering Design Concentration
16. Eliminate ET 201 Visual Programming for Technicians (4cr.)
from the Industrial Electrical Technology Concentration
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 45 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
17. Add an Alternative Energies Concentration
a. Choose 14 Credits from the following:
i. MET 200: Introduction to Alternative Energy (3
cr.)
ii. MET 230: Bioenergy (3cr.)
iii. ET 221: Solar Power (3 cr.)
iv. ET 222: Wind Power (3 cr.)
v. Any DD, ET, MET, or MF prefix course (1-4 cr.)
Rationale: The change to MET 310 will provide students with an improved understanding of
Mechanics-Dynamics but to accommodate this change the concentration credits must be
decreased from 15 to 14 credits.
DD 102 is being dropped from the Engineering Design curriculum as parts are dated and some of
the material is covered in other courses. It therefore only makes sense to drop it from the Design
concentration here.
Adding the Alternative Energies concentration will provide students with a wider variety of
options in a rapidly expanding field of interest.
e. Computer Numerical Control Technology Major
18. Eliminate Elective Credits 11
19. Increase Liberal Studies Credit from 12 to 15
20. Increase Other Required Courses from 19 to 28
21. Add IT 010 Exit Seminar (0cr.) to Other Required Courses
22. Add “or higher” to MA 100 Intermediate Algebra
Rationale: The Higher Learning Commission has updated requirements for all Associate
degrees to have a minimum number of credits of Liberal Studies. This change will allow this
degree to comply with their standard.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix E
f. Computer Numerical Control Technology Certificate
23. Eliminate IS 100
24. Eliminate General Electives Credits 10
25. Add IT 010 Exit Seminar (0cr.)
Rationale: The vast majority of students enrolled in the certificate program have sufficient
computer skills required for the coursework and these skills are built upon in the required
courses such that graduates have adequate skills for subsequent employment. Students needing
basic instruction in computer skills can still be advised into IS 100 as there are sufficient
electives available.
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013

Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix E
g. Engineering Design Major
26. Reduce Liberal Studies Credits from 16 to 15
27. Increase Major Courses from 19 to 20
28. Eliminate DD 102 (3cr.) from Major Courses
29. Move MF 233 from Other Required Courses to Major Courses
30. Increase Other Required Courses Credits from 23 to 36
31. Eliminate General Elective Credits 4
32. Add IT 010 Exit Seminar (0cr.)
Rationale: The option of MA 106 in the Liberal Studies is being made as students receive
sufficient right angle trigonometry in MA 104 for the major. Also MA 106 is not required in the
MET curriculum and PH 201 is allowing students to move on to the MET degree with no unused
credits.
DD 102 is being removed from the curriculum as the course has become somewhat
technologically dated and important areas are also covered in other required courses.
MF 233 is being moved from Other Required Courses to Major Courses as in modern
manufacturing Computer Numerical Control (CNC) is a ubiquitous requirement.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix E
i.
Modify Courses
a. MET 310 Mechanics-Dynamics
1. Increase Credits from 3 to 4
Rationale: Based on input from the ABET accreditation process this course was recently
retooled to cover classical dynamics as opposed to kinematics. After teaching this course for 2
years after this change, it is apparent that the required material cannot be covered as a 3 credit
class.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:

CUP: February 5, 2013
1. Rename and Change Number from ET 201: Visual
Programming for Technicians to ET 321: Embedded Systems
Programming
2. Change Prerequisites
3. Change Course Description
Rationale: With the evolution of programming languages and applications Visual Basic is no
longer appropriate for students in a technological field. The use of C is basic to microcontrollers
and a multitude of low level programming functions and is therefore a very desirable skill for
electronic engineers. However there is an increased level of difficulty with C versus Visual
Basic and therefore the increase from a 200 to 300 level course

Rationale: hanging this course from 3 credit hours (2-0-2) to 4 credit hours (3-0-2) is necessary
for the instruction and assessment of the therapeutic exercise cognitive competencies and clinical
integration proficiencies presented in the 5th Edition of the National Athletic Trainers’
Association’s Athletic Training Education Competencies document. In the 5th Edition, new
content area was added to provide students with the basic knowledge and skills related to
Evidence-Based Practice (EBP). The importance of using EBP concepts and principles to
improve patient outcomes is being emphasized throughout the health care system and is reflected
within this new content area. The addition of the new content area has expanded the content to be
included in the Therapeutic Exercise and Rehabilitation Techniques course. A complete list of
the EBP competencies can be found in Appendix A of this proposal.
The Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) accredits the
athletic training major. In order to remain in compliance with CAATE’s Standards for the
Accreditation of Entry Level Athletic Training Programs, the athletic training major must deliver
the content from the most recent edition of the Athletic Training Education Competencies
document in a competency-based curriculum that provides the students opportunities to practice
and demonstrate the cognitive competencies and clinical integration proficiencies in laboratory
and clinical environments. Appropriate instruction and assessment of the prescribed cognitive
and clinical proficiencies in therapeutic exercise will be accomplished in a 4 (3-0-2) credit hour
format. The basic concepts of therapeutic exercise and physical conditioning are introduced in
ATR 241 - Prevention and Care of Athletic Injuries. This course is designed to develop
students’ competence and proficiency in evidence- based therapeutic exercise and conditioning
techniques.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
ATR 360 – Therapeutic Exercise and Rehabilitation Techniques;
(2-0-2); 3 credit hours (3-0-2); 4 credit hours
Prerequisites: ATR 241

The student will be exposed to a wide variety of rehabilitation techniques, including aquatic
therapy, plyometrics, stretching, etc. Students will learn basic guidelines of injury rehabilitation
including goals, progression, functional testing, return to play and referral, etc. Certain specific
rehabilitation protocols will also be discussed. Examines the knowledge, skills and values the
Athletic Trainer must possess to plan, implement, document, and evaluate the efficacy of
exercise programs for the rehabilitation of individuals involved in physical activity. Evidencebased practice will be presented and discussed in a didactic manner and applied through lab
experiences.
4. ATR 410: Athletic Training Policies and Procedures
a. Change Name from Athletic Training Policies and
Procedures to Athletic Healthcare Administration
b. Revise Course Description
Rationale: Changing the name of this course and description is an appropriate reflection of the
cognitive competencies and clinical integration proficiencies presented in the 5th Edition of
National Athletic Trainers’ Association’s Athletic Training Education Competencies document.
Healthcare Administration is one of the 12 content areas outlined in the 5th edition of the
competencies. A complete list of the Healthcare Administration competencies is contained in
Appendix A of this proposal.
The current course title “Athletic Training Policies and Procedures” does not adequately reflect
the competencies and proficiencies contained in this course. The proposed title “Athletic
Healthcare Administration” will accurately reflect the content contained in this course.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
ATR 410 – Athletic Healthcare Administration Training Policies and Procedures
2 cr. (2-0-0)
Offered: Winter
Prerequisite: ATR 110 and ATR 241.
Introduction to ATR management and administrative duties including managing a budget,
staffing, developing and implementing policies, and communicating with athletes, coaches,
parents and others. Athletic trainers function within the context of a complex healthcare system.
Students will demonstrate an understanding of risk management, legal considerations,
governmental regulation, healthcare delivery mechanisms, insurance, reimbursement,
documentation, patient privacy, human resources, and facility management.
5. ES 317: Anatomical Kinesiology
a. Increase from 2 to 3 Credits
b. Revise Course Description
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 60 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
Rationale: Changing this course from 2 credit hours (1-0-2) to 3 credit hours (1-0-2) is necessary
for the instruction and assessment of the kinesiology concepts contained within this course. I
have taught this course for several semesters now and the students’ evaluations consistently state
this course should be worth more than 2 credit hours. I completely agree. I have also taught this
type of course with the same content at other universities and the course was always 3 or more
credits hours. This course requires students to demonstrate a mastery of functional anatomy and
basic biomechanical concepts. This course also requires students to integrate information from
the fields of anatomy, physiology, and physics. Spending 50 minutes a week in a lecture does not
allow for this occur effectively. I spend a considerable amount of time each week during office
hours and individual appointments meeting with ES 317 students. The purposes of the meetings
are to supplement and clarify the discussion that is occurring in class. On the course evaluations,
students also indicate an appreciation for my willingness to meet with them outside of scheduled
class time.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
ES 317 Anatomical Kinesiology
2 cr. (1-0-2) 3 cr. (2-0-2)
Offered: Fall, Winter
Prerequisite: BI 104 or BI 201.
Theories relating to anatomical principles of human movement will be reviewed with
applications to physical education, fitness and sports science. The primary focus will be on how
muscular attachments impact the actions of muscles resulting in human movement. Human
motion from both an anatomical and a mechanical perspective will be addressed. Specific
attention is placed on the musculoskeletal system and the description of human movement.
Focus on the student’s mastery of motion analysis necessary for medical, fitness, and educational
professionals involved in providing instruction and information to the physically active.
6. ES 470: Psychological Aspects of Athletic Performance
a. Increase from 2 to 3 Credits
b. Revise Course Description
Rationale: Three credits will allow adequate time to add the additional components and
mandated material, while allowing for expansion and discussion of already covered materials.
The cultural issues are covered within the current text, but time has been unavailable to complete
coverage of the chapters during a two credit course. The Evidence based medicine would be
covered through articles on Epidemiology, as well as research driven articles on how to read a
scholarly journal article and critically analyze it.
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 61 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
Ninety percent of the students in this class plan to attend graduate school; these inclusions would
be additional components, which would hasten their researcher’s competency as well as
familiarity.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
ES 470 Psychological Aspects of Athletic Performance 2 3 cr. Offered: Winter
Prerequisite: PY 100S, L, H, or G, junior standing or instructor permission.
Study of the psychological applications in the field of sports and coaching. Topics include
behavioral coaching of motor skills, competition anxiety analysis and management, mental
rehearsal techniques and aggression control. A systematic approach to evidence based practice
for answering a clinical problem will be utilized. Special attention will be given to a cross
cultural population.
e. Add Courses
1. ATR 295: Special Topics
Rationale: This course offers the opportunity to offer, on occasion, AT courses that will address
issues/practices that may not be specifically laid out in the accreditation documents.

b. Add ES 317
c. Add ES 470
d. Eliminate ES 417: Biomechanics (2cr.)
e. Eliminate ES 421: Physiology of Training for Sport

Rationale: Increase the number of credit hours in the courses highlighted below in order to
accommodate the new competencies included the in the National Athletic Trainers’
Association’s Athletic Training Educational Competencies, 5th Edition. The inclusion of the new
competencies in the athletic training curriculum is necessary to maintain compliance with current
Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education standards.
ES 417 and ES 421 shall no longer be required in the ATEP because these courses do not contain
competencies required by the National Athletic Trainers’ Association’s Athletic Training
Educational Competencies, 5th Edition.

2. Management of Health and Fitness
a. Revise ES 317 to Reflect Credit Change from 2 to 3
Credits
b. Decrease HPER Elective Selected with Advisor
Approval from 5 to 4 Credits
Rationale: Changes to the Management of Health and Fitness Major are precipitated by the
changes in the Athletic Training major’s re-organization of course competencies. The increase in
number of credit hours for ES 317 (from 2 credits to 3) can be accommodated by decreasing the
number of required HPER electives from five to four.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix G

Rationale: Changes to the Sports Science Major are precipitated by the changes in the Athletic
Training major’s re-organization of course competencies. The increases in numbers of credit
hours for ES 317 and ES 421 (from 2 credits to 3) can be accommodated by decreasing the
number of credits in the cluster minor to from 24 to 22.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix G
ii.
Change Prerequisite for HL 230: Fitness Leadership to only HP 200
Rationale: PE 201 Strength & Conditioning (.5) is not a required course in the Management of
Health & Fitness curriculum (the major for which HL 230 was designed), it is not frequently
offered in the PE program, and we currently have no equivalent. As such, it is impossible for our
majors to sign up for this course online as they are told they do not have the PE 201 equivalent
which they can’t get and which is not required in the Major.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
HL 230 Fitness Leadership 2 cr.
Offered: Fall, Winter
Prerequisite: HP 200 and PE 201 or equivalent.
An introduction to the skills and abilities necessary to effectively lead fitness activities in group
and individual settings.
Note: This course may not be used in the health and nutrition minor or the community health
education major.
iii.
Modify HL/NU 386: Interdisciplinary Study in Global Healthcare –
Honduras
g. Replace Honduras with Latin America
h. Revise Course Description to Incorporate Change
Rationale: A proposal to modify the Faculty Led Study Abroad (FLSA) course, HL/NU 386,
Interdisciplinary Study in Global Healthcare – Honduras is being made to allow for flexibility in
the specific country that will be focused upon in the course. HL/NU 386 has been offered for six
semesters with a focus on Honduras. However, in November 2012 the United States State
Department issued a Travel Warning to Honduras. University policy for FLSA courses is that
students are not allowed to travel to countries for which the State Department has issued a Travel
Warning. The course instructors are requesting that the course be modified so that, if needed,
other countries in Latin America could be selected as the country of focus and travel.

Note: Cross listed with HL/NU 386.
iv.
Modify HP/PE Courses
i. HP 203B: Dance Performance Company
1. Decrease Credit Hours from 2 to 1
Rationale: This gives opportunity for students to choose a less intense creation and performance
experience in the one credit course. The students who are in a performance stream with more
dance technique have the option for more variety of dance forms with different choreographers
and performance experiences. Course description and content the same.
j. HP 206A: Modern Dance Beginning
1. Rename Modern Dance Beginning to Contemporary Dance
Beginning
Rationale: The course content is the same as is the course description except for changing all
modern dance to contemporary dance to reflect the common usage in the dance world.
k. HP 206B: Modern Dance Intermediate
1. Rename Modern Dance Intermediate to Contemporary Dance
Intermediate
Rationale: The course content is the same as is the course description except for changing all
modern dance to contemporary dance to reflect the common usage in the dance world.
l. PE 201B: Ballet Intermediate
1. Rename Ballet Intermediate to Ballet Theory and Composition
Rationale: The proposal for the course name change parallels current terminology in the dance
world and includes the recommended advanced study of the theory and composition of the genre.
Ballet is the backbone of dance training and perhaps the most important to understand at an indepth level as placement and proper training and execution are intricate. The change in this
course will allow the faculty to further the students’ study and push their training and creative

limits. The upgrade in the course number allows for deeper study and research of this dance
form. It will allow the students and faculty to participate at a higher and more specific level of
research the upgraded course will include and increased academic component and theory and
composition to develop skills in teaching and presenting ballet.
m. PE 206B: Modern Dance Intermediate
1. Change Number from 206B to 306B
2. Rename Modern Dance Intermediate to Contemporary Dance
Theory and Composition Intermediate
Rationale: The proposal for the course name change parallels current terminology in the dance
world and includes the recommended study of the theory and composition of this genre. The
upgrade in course number is being proposed to allow for deeper study and research of this genre
of dance to produce well-rounded participants in the dance minor. It will allow the students and
faculty to participate at a higher and more specific level of research. The upgraded course will
include an increased academic component of theory and composition.

s. HP 203B: Jazz Dance Intermediate (1cr.)
Rationale: This course will not only catalyze the success of those students participating in
NMU’s Theatre program and productions, the intermediate level of this class will be important to
producing students prepared for the dance world at NMU and beyond.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
HP 203B Jazz Dance Intermediate (1 credit)
Pre-requisite Jazz Dance beginning or equivalent training
This course will build on Jazz Dance Beginning to include more advanced technique,

t. HP 203C: Tap Dance Beginning (1cr.)
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 66 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
Rationale: This course will not only catalyze the success of those students participating in
NMU’s Theatre program and productions, but it is also a form of dance that is accessible to
many, regardless of age. Tap dancing also teaches musicality and rhythm in a way that not many
other dance styles do, as the body is the instrument.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
HP 203C Tap Dance Beginning (1 credit)
This course is an introduction to basic tap steps, combinations and choreography.
u. HP 203D: Tap Dance Intermediate (1cr.)
Rationale: This course will catalyze the success of students in the Theatre program and
productions. It is a form of dance accessible to many, regardless of age. Tap dancing teaches
musicality and rhythm in a way that not many other dance styles do. Intermediate level is
important to producing students prepared for the theatre audition world at NMU and beyond.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
HP 203D Tap Dance Intermediate (1 credit)
Pre-requisite Tap Dance Beginning or equivalent training
This course will include an intermediate to advanced tap steps, combinations and choreography.
v. HP 203E: Dance for Theatre (1cr.)
Rationale: This course will not only catalyze the success of those students participating in
NMU’s Theatre program and productions, but it is a “jumping off point” for those interested in
dance and theatre and looking for a beginning level survey course.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
HP 203E Dance for Theatre (1 credit)
This course will act as an introduction to dance for those students interested in theatre. The
course will delve in, at a beginning level, to the genres of ballet, tap, and jazz dance. The
material presented from the three genres will focus strongly on their application in theatre.
w. HP 205Z: Zumba Fitness (1cr.)
Rationale: This course is taught at a more technical level than the fitness courses offered through
the PEIF program. Rhythmic musical structures train dancers and athletes for more agility and
develop the kinesthetic memory. Core strength is employed while the rhythms create a
movement flow through the arms and footwork that is an expressive language. The
qualifications of the instructor include a BA degree as well as many certified fitness and health
courses. The musicality of this work is important for dancers.

Proposed Bulletin Copy:
HP 205Z Zumba Fitness (1 credit)
There are no pre-requisites for this course which is a Latin-inspired, dance-fitness course that is
based on International dance formats that include merengue, cumbia, salsa, reggaeton, samba,
flamenco, tango and belly-dance among others. Students learn an awareness of body positioning
and movement while gaining a complete cardiovascular workout.
x. HP 225B: Yoga Intermediate (1cr.)
Rationale: The study of Yoga is a life skill and a wonderful cross training for body and mind for
dance, sports and fitness. Many students are interested in developing their yoga skills and have
requested an intermediate level course. For these students it would be a benefit to move to gentle
advanced work that cannot be done in a beginning class where many students have never worked
with this form and may be at a lower fitness level. It will aid students in the dance program by
increasing their awareness of their bodies’ abilities and limitations. It will increase the dancer’s
strength, balance, focus and breathing capacity.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
HP 225B Yoga Intermediate (1 credit)
Pre-requisite HP 225 Yoga Beginning or equivalent yoga experience.
This class will build upon the practices learned in beginning yoga. New poses, breathing and
meditation practices will be introduced.
y. PE 306A: Contemporary Dance Improvisation Techniques and
Theory (1cr.)
Rationale: The proposal is submitted to parallel current terminology in the dance world and to
include the recommended study of improvisation, theory and the creative process of this genre.
The course includes research of contemporary dance theory as well as historical and cultural
influences. Individual attention is given to each student relating to body alignment and injury
prevention and the cross-training beneficial to dancers and choreographers. Themes for dance:
story, poetry, sound, music, nature, visuals, movement meditation, mythology, liturgies,
alternative performance venues and technology will be introduced to extend the student’s
creative choices. Art philosophy and well known artist’s world views are presented by the
instructor. Students will develop and present research projects involving other art forms that are
integrated into contemporary dance expression.
Note: This course is a research and creation laboratory that doesn’t require as much formal
dance vocabulary required for the proposed 300 level Ballet and Contemporary Dance Theory
and Composition courses. Neither does it discourage technical skill, however, some of the most
inventive dance artists were trained in martial arts, athletics, visual arts, music or ethnic and folk
dance. The formal dance vocabulary was a secondary training for them and their works have
broadened the definitions of dance as an art form.

PE 306A Dance Improvisation Techniques and Theory (1 credit)
Pre-requisite: HP Beginning dance technique of any style or equivalent.
In this course students research and actualize theories of Contemporary dance and the creative
process. The course will combine contemporary dance techniques, improvisation techniques,
contact work and research. This course is a multi-disciplinary approach to dance.
z. PE 382: History and Theory of Dance (3cr.)
Rationale: This course is an overview for Dance Minors who will be studying more technical
dance theory and composition in the PE Ballet and Contemporary Dance. This course will attract
larger student participation and benefit Theater and Health and Fitness Majors. Students
interested in Sociology and International Studies will find the course beneficial and interesting.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
PE 382 History and Theory of Dance (3 credits)
This course is an overview of dance from a multi-cultural perspective. The philosopher’s dance
theory is introduced which develops language to view and understand dance as movement
communication. The course analyzes emotions and responses aroused in the viewer. Societal,
Religious, Cultural influences are researched to develop an expanded aesthetic and cultural
awareness in the student.

f. Revise CIS, CS and MA Elective Credit Hours from 8-9 to 8
g. Add Elective Credit Hours 11
Rationale: We are changing the math electives choices. We used to require majors to take one
course from a list of six math courses, and then allow them to choose a different list of a wide
range of math courses as major elective courses. We wish to simplify by expanding the required
math course choices to include every math course available as a major elective course. It made
no sense to have different lists for math courses required by the major, and math courses that
count as electives for the major. We believe in practice this will affect very few students, but this
change will give additional flexibility to students with particular needs or transfer credit
situations.
We are changing the list of CIS elective courses we accept. We believe that CIS 440
Management Information Systems is an inappropriate course for our majors, simply because the
topics are more business and less computer-technical than other courses we accept. We have
consulted with the CIS department about this.
We are changing the list of Electronic Arts courses we accept, removing AD 134. We believe
that AD 134 is an interesting and relevant class, but not equivalent to 300 level computer
science. We continue to accept higher level AD courses. We have consulted with the A&D
department about this.
We are allowing certain advanced math courses as major elective courses for our Network
Computing major. Typically strong mathematically oriented students take Computer Science
instead of Network Computing, but we have had a few such students take Network Computing.
These students should have the flexibility to take appropriate math courses and count them as
major electives. We believe this will affect very few students.

l. MA 354: Methods and Materials in Teaching Middle School
Mathematics
Rationale: The increase in credit hours of MA 350 will allow time to address middle-schoollevel mathematics for all future secondary teachers of mathematics. With the addition of middleschool-level mathematics in MA 350, then MA 354 will be a redundant course taken by
secondary education mathematics majors. Thus, MA 354 should be eliminated from the
curriculum.
m. MA 381: Integer Programming and Network Flows

CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 71 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
Rationale: NMU offers regular courses on programming neither in Objective C (the third most
popular language in the world after C and Java) nor in the Macintosh OS framework (the second
most popular operating system after Microsoft Windows). The rise of popularity of handheld
computing devices in general, and the iPhone in particular, makes this gap in our curriculum
rather conspicuous. The number 344 follows an informal department tradition that softwarerelated courses have a middle digit of 4. We have taught this class twice before as a special
topics course with success.
We often poll our students in what class we don't yet offer they would like. This class always
polls well.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:

motion sensing, map and location services.
r. MA 370: Interest Theory (3cr.)
Rationale: This course is required for the proposed Actuarial Sciences minor and the proposed
Actuarial Sciences Concentration for mathematics majors. This course serves alongside MA 371
as a serious introduction to the fundamentals of actuarial sciences.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
MA 370 Interest Theory
Credit Hours 3
Prerequisites MA161 or MA 271
Course Description: MA 370 covers all topics on the current SOA Exam FM / CAS Exam 2

The goal of the course is to provide an understanding of the fundamental concepts of financial
mathematics, and how those concepts are applied in calculating present and accumulated values
for various streams of cash flows as a basis for future use in: reserving, valuation, pricing,
asset/liability management, investment income, capital budgeting, and valuing contingent cash
flows. The student will also be given an introduction to financial instruments, including
derivatives, and the concept of no-arbitrage as it relates to financial mathematics.

Audio and video formats will be explored. Legal issues will be covered. This class is designed
for students of all majors.
v. CS 120: Computer Science I
1. Revise Course Description
Rationale: CS 120a has not been offered in a long time, and will likely be dropped soon.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
CS 120 Computer Science I (4 cr)
Offered: Fall, Winter
Applies toward the division V liberal studies requirement.
Prerequisite: Mathematics placement recommendation of MA 100 or higher, or CS 101 or CIS
110.
This intensive, fast-paced course is the first programming course for computer science and
network computing majors. Topics include methods and parameters, conditionals, loops, arrays,
graphical user interfaces and object-oriented program design.
Note: This course is recommended for students with a strong desire to learn programming but
lack experience. Students without interest in computer programming should consider CS 101
instead. Students with a substantial programming background should take CS 120A.
w. CS 122: Computer Science II
2. Revise When Offered
Rationale: We have offered this class every fall for quite some time, and hope to continue to do
so.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
CS 122 Computer Science II (4 Cr.) Offered: Fall, Winter
Prerequisites: CS 120 or equivalent or permission of instructor
A continuation of CS120. This course provides an opportunity to further develop fundamental
programming skills. Topics include introductions to string handling, algorithm analysis,
recursion, linked lists, interfaces, inheritance and fundamental data structures.
x. CS 222: Data Structures
1. Change Prerequisites Eliminate CS 122
Rationale: CS 122 is a prerequisite for CS 201, so listing it separately is redundant.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
CS 222 Data Structures (3cr) Offered: Winter
Prerequisite: CS 122, CS 201 and either MA 240 or MA 340.
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 74 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
This course covers data structures and algorithms in depth. Topics covered include arrays, stacks,
queues, linked lists, trees and graphs, basic problem solving strategies and complexity analysis,
sorting and searching algorithms, hashing techniques, and some advanced tree structures (e.g.,
AVL trees, B and B+ trees, splay trees, etc.).
y. CS 228: Network Programming
2. Change Prerequisites Eliminate CS 122
Rationale: CS 122 is a prerequisite for CS 201, so listing it separately is redundant.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
CS 228 Network Programming (3 cr)
Offered: Winter
Prerequisite: CS 122 and CS 201.
This course covers creating network-based applications as well as the basic theory of
networking. Topics include programming Internet applications, client-server programming and
Internet protocols. Applications created have included mail clients, Web servers and Internetbased games.
z. CS 322: Principles of Programing Languages
3. Revise Course Description
Rationale: The note was not needed, and many other departments do not include such notes in
the bulletin.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
CS 322 Principles of Programming Languages (4 cr) Offered: Fall Prerequisite: MA 240, CS
222, and CS 330 (concurrent enrollment in CS 330 permitted) or instructor's permission.
Overview of programming language paradigms. Topics: memory usage, flow of control
structures, object implementation, grammars, language paradigms (iterative, structured,
functional, logic, object-oriented), and computability. Note: Required for the computer science
major.
aa. CS 330: Microcomputer Architecture
4. Change Prerequisites to “CS 122 or instructor’s permission”
Rationale: The former prerequisite was written in the hope that non-computer majors might take
the course. However, this does not happen. CS 330 is required of all computer science majors,
and requiring CS 122 puts this course into the proper sequence for such students.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
CS 330 Microcomputer Architecture
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 75 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
4 cr.
Offered: Fall, Winter
Prerequisite: An introductory laboratory course in a natural science or a computer programming
course or instructor's permission. CS 122 or instructor's permission
Study of how computer hardware responds to stored instructions. Construction projects with
logic circuits lead to the conceptual designs of microprocessors. Assembly language
programming is introduced in the context of the logic circuitry being controlled. Projects
emphasize the software needed in common interfacing tasks.
bb. CS 422: Algorithms Design and Analysis
5. Revise Course Description
Rationale: The note was not needed, and many other departments do not include such notes in
the bulletin. The “either” in the prerequisites is to clarify the language and does not represent a
substantive change.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
CS 422 Algorithms Design and Analysis (3 cr)
Offered: Winter
Prerequisite: CS 222 and either MA 161 or MA 271.
Overview of algorithm design strategies. Topics: O-notation, asymptotic notation, induction,
recurrence relations, sorting, searching, dynamic programming, greedy algorithms, numbertheoretic algorithms, NP-completeness, complexity.
Note: Required for the computer science major.
cc. CS 442: Advanced Networking
6. Revise Course Description
Rationale: We wished to better describe the course. This is not a change in course content.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
CS 442 Advanced Networking (4 cr)
Offered: Contact department Every third semester
Prerequisite: CS 228.
Topics include threaded programming, locking, network routing, parallel processing, and peerto-peer computing. Topics include threaded programming, locking, network routing, parallel
processing, peer-to-peer computing and related subjects such as packet sniffers, parallel
mathematical algorithms and web server proxies.
dd. CS 460: Advanced Web Programming
7. Revise Course Description
Rationale: This better describes how often we offer the course. This has been our pattern, and
we anticipate keeping to this pattern.
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013

CUP: February 5, 2013
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
CS 460 Advanced Web Programming (3 cr)
Offered: Contact department Every third semester
Prerequisite: Six credit hours of computer science courses at the 200 level or above.
This course teaches students how to program client/server applications for the Web. Topics cover
scripting languages such as Perl, PHP, or other current alternatives, using them to read input
from Web forms and produce Web output. SQL will be used to interface with databases as the
backend technology.
ee. CS 480: Senior Project in Computer Science
8. Revise Course Description
Rationale: This is not a change in the course content. However, describing a common set of
procedures for Senior Projects is important to us, since we do more than twenty per year. This
change allows students to find the procedures easily and adds clarity.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
CS 480 Senior Project in Computer Science (4 cr)
Offered: Fall, Winter
Prerequisite: CS 222, CS 228, junior standing and permission of adviser.
This course involves creating a significant software and/or hardware project. Work is supervised
by an adviser. Topics must be approved first by an evaluation committee, which will later review
and grade the completed project.
For details, examples, and procedure, see http://cs.nmu.edu/~SeniorProjects.
ff. MA 312: Abstract Algebra with Applications
9. Rename from Abstract Algebra with Applications to Abstract
Algebra I
Rationale: This is a cosmetic change, not a substantive one. The new title better reflects the
course’s position as a first course in abstract algebra.
gg. MA 331: Geometry I
10. Increase Credit Hours from 3 to 4
11. Rename from Geometry I to Geometry
12. Revise Course Description
Rationale: The proposed change in credit hours of MA 331 from 3 to 4 credits will allow time to
further explore plane Euclidean geometry, which is the geometry primarily studied in school
mathematics. MA 331 is required of all secondary education mathematics majors and minors,
and since geometry is taught in high school, students need to have a strong foundation in the
subject matter. Since most students have only had a course in high school geometry and have had
little or no study of the subject matter since 9th or 10th grade, geometry is one of the students’
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 77 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
weakest areas in mathematics. Additional preparation in geometry would strengthen students’
knowledge of the subject matter, which will better prepare them to teach the subject.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
MA 331 Geometry I
3 4 cr.
Offered: Winter
Prerequisite: MA 211 or instructor’s permission.
Geometry from a modern axiomatic viewpoint. The objective of this course is to prepare students
to teach high school geometry. Includes Euclidean geometry and an introduction to nonEuclidean geometries.
hh. MA 350: Methods and Materials in Teaching Senior High School
Mathematics
13. Increase Credit Hours from 3 to 4
14. Rename Methods and Materials in Teaching Senior High
School Mathematics to Methods and Materials in Teaching
Secondary School Mathematics
Rationale: At the secondary level, school systems are reorganizing and in many instances the
trend is to include grades 7-12 or grades 6-12 in the same building. This allows teachers to teach
across the levels so it is important for future secondary mathematics teachers to have preparation
in both middle school and high school mathematics. Since secondary education mathematics
minors do not take MA 354, the addition of middle school mathematics in MA 350 will benefit
these future teachers because they will gain a better understanding of the mathematical education
of students as they move through the secondary mathematics curriculum. The increase in credit
hours of MA 350 will allow time to address middle-school-level mathematics for all future
secondary teachers of mathematics.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
MA 350 Methods and Materials in Teaching Senior High Secondary School Mathematics
3 4 cr.
Offered: Fall
Prerequisite: Admission to the methods phase of teacher education, MA312 and MA331.
ED349 should be taken concurrently or have been completed already.
Designed to acquaint prospective secondary teachers with contemporary methods and materials
employed in the teaching of mathematics in the secondary school. Field experiences are required.
Note: May not be applied toward a non-teaching major or minor in mathematics.
ii. MA 351: Methods and Materials in Teaching Elementary School
Mathematics
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 78 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
15. Change Prerequisites to “MA 250 and MA 231 with grades of
“C” or better”
Rationale: MA 351 is a capstone course required of elementary education mathematics majors
and minors; it is taken at the end of their mathematics program. The course draws on and
integrates previous knowledge from across mathematics, and it requires a level of mathematical
maturity that develops throughout those other courses. Recently, MA 231 Topics in Geometry
became a requirement for elementary education mathematics majors and minors, and it now has
had time to phase in for students in the program. The content of that course, like the content of
MA 250 (algebra), is needed for MA 351. Both MA 250 and MA 231 must be passed before
taking MA 351.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
jj. MA 361: Differential Equations
16. Change Prerequisites from “MA 265” to “MA 265 or consent
of instructor”
Rationale: This change reflects the reality of the way students are admitted.
kk. MA 363: Advanced Calculus I
17. Rename Advanced Calculus I to Analysis I
Rationale: This is a cosmetic change, not a substantive one. The new title better reflects the
current course description.
ll. MA 371: Applied Probability and Statistics
18. Rename Applied Probability and Statistics to Probability
19. Change Prerequisites to “MA 211 and MA 265 or consent of
instructor”
Rationale: Change the Course Title from “Applied Probability and Statistics” to “Probabilty.”
This is a cosmetic change, not a substantive one. The new title better reflects the current course
description. Change the prerequisite from “MA 211 and MA 265” to “MA 211 and MA 265 or
consent of instructor.”
mm. MA 464: Advanced Calculus II
1. Rename Advanced Calculus II to Analysis II
2. Revise Course Description
Rationale: The proposed Mathematics Major Requirements specify a two-course sequence in
either Abstract Algebra, Probability & Statistics, or Analysis. This course will serve as the
second course in analysis.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013

CUP: February 5, 2013
MA 464 Advanced Calculus Analyis II
3 cr.
Offered: On demand
Prerequisite: MA 363, junior standing or instructor’s permission.
Infinite series and uniform convergence, power series, transformations, inverse function and
implicit function theorems, and calculus of several variables. Covers selected topics from Real
Analysis and / or Complex Analysis. This course serves as a second course in Analysis.
nn. MA 472: Advanced Applied Statistics
1. Increase Credit Hours from 3 to 4
Rationale: Increase credit hours from 3 to 4 to allow for application time. This course
introduces students to the theory and application of multiple linear regression and time series
analysis. As such, the course should include use of a statistical package such as SPSS, SAS, or
R. Note – no additional equipment or resources will be required.
oo. MA 475: Intermediate Statistics
1. Rename Intermediate Statistics to Statistics II
2. Change Prerequisites to “MA 371 and MA 472, or consent of
instructor”
3. Increase Credit Hours from 3 to 4
4. Revise Course Description
Rationale: The course detailed above is an appropriate second course in statistics at the senior
level not only for students interested in Actuarial Sciences, but Statistics in general. This course
is a required elective for Actuarial Sciences minors. (Students are required to take one of MA
470, MA 471, and MA 475.)
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
MA 475 Intermediate Statistics Statistics II
4 cr.
Offered: On demand
Prerequisite: MA 171, junior standing or instructor’s permission. MA 371 and MA 472, or
consent of instructor
Covers selected topics on the current SOA Exam C / CAS Exam 4 syllabus.
Application of statistics in research using the SPSS and SAS computer packages. Topics include
multiple and curvilinear regression analysis, analysis of variance, discriminant analysis, factor
analysis and time series. The student will become familiar with survival, severity, frequency, and
aggregate models and use statistical methods to estimate parameters of such models given
sample data. The student is further expected to identify steps in the modeling process,

CUP: February 5, 2013
understand the underlying assumptions implicit in each family of models, recognize which
assumptions are applicable in a given business application, and appropriately adjust the models
for impact of insurance coverage modifications.
v. MA 490: Senior Seminar
1. Increase Credit Hours from 1 to 3
2. Require for Mathematics majors
3. Change Prerequisite to “MA 312 and Senior Standing, or
consent of Instructor”
4. Revise Course Description
Rationale: This version of MA 490 will serve as our “Capstone Course” for the Mathematics
program. MA 490 allows students to explore connections between the different areas of
mathematics. The intent is to give students the impression of mathematics as a body of
interrelated concepts rather than just a series of distinct courses that they have had to take. MA
490 adds the important component of undergraduate research to the Mathematics program.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
MA 490 Senior Seminar
1 cr. Credit Hours 3
Offered: On demand
Prerequisite: Senior standing or instructor's permission. MA 312 and Senior Standing, or
consent of instructor
A series of presentations by students, both research talks about individual and group projects and
expository talks about contemporary issues in applied mathematics and about interesting papers
selected from undergraduate mathematics journals. In this capstone course, a wide a variety of
mathematical concepts and applications are studied and connections between them are
explored. Students choose a senior project which explores relationships; either between different
areas of mathematics or between an area of mathematics and an interesting external
application. Students work closely with a faculty member on the senior project, which includes
an oral presentation and a formal written submission. Senior standing or permission from the
instructor is required, and this course is required for the major.
vi.
Create Actuarial Sciences Minor (22-23cr.)
a. Require MA 161: Calculus I (5cr.)
b. Require MA 163: Calculus (4cr.)
c. Require MA 370: Interest Theory (3cr.)
d. Require MA 371: Probability (3cr.)
e. Require MA 472: Statistics I (4cr.)
f. Require MA 470: Financial Economics, MA 471: Life
Contingencies, or MA 475: Statistics II (3-4cr.)
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 81 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
Rationale: A minor in Actuarial Sciences for non-mathematic majors would be asset to students
at NMU who want to explore the possibility of entering the actuarial field but want to major in
an area other than mathematics. For example, an Actuarial Sciences minor would look attractive
to employers hiring graduates from the finance and accounting departments.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix H

i.
Eliminate Courses
a. GR 410: Advanced German Culture and Civilization (1cr.)
Rationale: This pertains to students minoring in German. GR 310 has always been an upper
division humanities liberal studies course, taught in English and, until 2005, was a 4-credit
course. Until then, students minoring in German received credit toward the minor by writing a
research paper in German. We did not then have the staffing to offer an advanced German course
concurrently with GR 310. Thus we made a sound pedagogical decision to create the 1-credit
GR 410: a companion hour to GR 310, conducted strictly in German—and, for German minors,
the sole contact with the language for a semester.
The German program now has the staffing, the German Studies major, the increased number of
students to be able to offer an advanced German course in the same semester as GR 310. The
former concern over German minors not having contact time with the language is moot.
b. LG399: Graduation Assessment for Language Minors (0cr.)
Rationale: Now that the German Studies major is up and running and outcomes assessment at
NMU focuses on majors, we propose deleting LG399 to concentrate on assessing German
Studies majors instead of minors.
ii.
Increase Credit Hours for GR 310 Introduction to German Culture and
Civilization from 3 to 4
Rationale: Simply put, the “3 plus 1” combination of GR 310 and GR 410 was put into place to
accommodate German minors while enabling the instructor to teach on load. We were aware that
reducing GR 310 to 3 hours would create difficulty, i.e., in trying to cover the history and culture
of German lands from 800 to the present. Now that German minors haven’t the need for GR 410,
it would be a tremendous relief to have that hour returned to GR 310.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:

Offered: Fall
Prerequisite: EN 211 with a grade of "C" or better or HON 102 and HON 112 and sophomore
standing.
Applies toward the division II liberal studies requirement.
Applies toward the upper division liberal studies requirement.
Prerequisites: Completion of EN 211 and sophomore standing.
This course is a multidisciplinary introduction to the culture and civilization of Germany. It
offers a comprehensive view of the historical, geographical, political and economic factors which
have helped shape today’s German society.
iii.
Rename Track 3 of the German Studies major from "Business Orientation"
to "Business in German Culture"
Rationale: By recommendation of faculty in the College of Business, change the name of Track
3 of the German Studies major from “Business Orientation” to “Business in German Culture.”
This name reflects more accurately the nature of the track.
iv.
Revise German Studies major
c. Replace “GR 310 and GR 410 or GR 311” to “GR 310 (4cr.) or GR
311 (4cr.)
Rationale: Because of the restoring the GR 310 to 4 credits, this change needs to be made
throughout the German curricula.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix I
d. Add GR 496X to Electives under Each of the Three Areas of
Concentration
Rationale: We need an appropriate recourse for transference of such courses to students’ NMU
transcripts. As of this time, the only course in our department allowing an S/U grade is IP 486.
For lack of options, we have been using this course prefix and number to transfer credits for nongraded courses. Since students going to Oldenburg are either German Studies majors or German
minors, and since the courses they take there are conducted in German, it would be sensible to
have the GR prefixes.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix I

Studies majors instead of minors.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix I
vii.
Add LG 250: Overview of Linguistics for Language Educators to the
Elementary Education French minor.
Rationale: LG 250 belongs in the Elementary Education French minor to meet state standards
for language education programs.
Note: In 2008 the State Board of Education reviewed our language education majors and
minors. In accordance with state standards we created LG 250 and added it to them. Somehow
the Elementary Education minors slipped through the cracks, and LG 250 was not added to them.
A year ago we made curricular changes to our German and Spanish programs, and when the
State Board approved them, they caught that LG 250 had not been added to the Elementary
Education German and Spanish minors, and they required that we do so. We complied. And we
realized we would need to add LG 250 to the Elementary Education French minor this year.
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 84 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
This will make all our language education majors and minors fall into compliance with state
standards.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix I
viii.
Create Courses
a. CHN 102: Elementary Chinese II
Rationale: Elementary Chinese II has been successfully taught several times as LG295. It is
time to make it a regular course in NMU’s curriculum.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
CHN 102 Elementary Chinese II (4 cr.)
Offered: Every other year/after every two CHN101 offerings
Prerequisites: CHN101 or instructor’s permission.
The second course in the Elementary Chinese sequence. An introductory to the Chinese language
and culture. Students learn rudimentary “survival” skills, such as social etiquettes; telling time
and giving directions; talking about family, school and work; and writing and recognizing
written characters.
b. RUS 311: Russian Literature
Rationale: Russian Experience has been successfully taught several times. It is time to make it a
regular course in NMU’s curriculum.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
RUS 311 Russian Literature
4 cr.
Offered: Fall
Prerequisite: Completion of the foundations of communication requirement and sophomore
standing.
Cross Listed with EN 311 World Literature: Russia
A survey of translated works of literature from Russia, stressing historical development and
comparative analysis.
Department Affected: The English Department supports the creation and cross-listing of this
course with EN 311 as long as it is not offered in the same semester as the EN 311: World
Literature with a Russian focus.
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 85 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
It still needs to receive approval for the cross-listing to count toward Liberal Studies/General
Education Requirements.
c. GR 196X: Study Abroad: Special Topics
Rationale: NMU students study abroad at European universities which often do not assign
grades, but instead give pass/fail grades. These courses will give NMU an appropriate recourse
for transference of such courses to students’ NMU transcripts, especially for German minors or
German Studies majors.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:

15. Department of Sociology and Social Work
i.
Rename Existing Course from AN 210: People, Nature, and Culture to AN
210: Ecological Anthropology: People, Nature, and Culture
Rationale: The new title more precisely identifies the theoretical and methodological realms of
anthropology being investigated in this class, which is situated at the interstices of nature and
culture. This class is a common offering at universities offering a minor and/or major in
anthropology.
As we move towards the development of a major in anthropology, we would like to be as clear
as possible in our course titles so that we may attract students to the areas upon which our faculty
have particular expertise.
ii.
Add SO 353: Globalization and Asian Societies to Liberal Arts—Sociology
Concentration and Sociology Major
Rationale: SO 353: Globalization and Asian Societies was approved in 2007 but not specifically
included in the Sociology major and Liberal Arts major. We would like to allow it as a theory
option within the core courses for the majors.
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix J
iii.
Modify Bachelor of Social Work Program
a. Update Mission Statement
b. Update Program Goals
c. Revise Program Completion
Rationale: The Bachelor of Social Work Program (BSW) is currently under review by the
Council of Social Work Education (CSWE), which is the accreditation agency for all BSW
programs in the U.S. In 2008, CSWE substantially changed their accreditation standards. The
primary change was a move from curriculum-based standards to competency-based standards
and the requirement that all programs create and report measures of students’ competencies in
the 10 core areas that define generalist social work practice (which were also newly created in
2008).
Proposed Bulletin Copy: See Appendix J
d. Delete SW 421: Family Intervention in Social Work Practice
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013
Page 87 of 144
CUP: February 5, 2013
Rationale: This course has not been offered in more than 5 years due to staffing limitations.
This is an elective course and its elimination will not disrupt the social work major or social
services minor or any program at the university.
16. First Year Experience Program
i.
Create New Course
a. UN 101: Freshman Seminar II (2cr.)
Date of Implementation: Winter 2014
Rationale: This course is being developed to increase third semester retention of students
entering NMU on Freshman Probation, thereby increasing the probability that they will complete
a degree program at NMU. In this course, students will contribute to an Academic Service
Learning project and develop additional learning skills via the co-requisite EN 101 course.
Course results will provide data for refining and implementing future retention efforts, processes
and practices. Freshman Probation and College Transitions Program (FP/CTP) students will
retain formalized and consistent developmental support through the second semester of
enrollment.
We would like to establish the course as UN 101. “Pilot” versions of this course have been
offered as UN 295(2013 winter semester); an experimental designation. In addition to being
more appropriate given the course content and student population, the 101 numbering serves to
establish the course as non-experimental.
UN 101 seemed logical as a sequential course number. The course content did not warrant a 200
level designation. To avoid confusion among the UN 100/UN 100B/UN 100C courses, we chose
not to offer the course as UN 100D.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
UN 101 Freshman Seminar 2
Credit Hours: 2 credits
Offered: Fall, Winter
Co-requisite: Concurrent enrollment in EN 101
Focuses on strengthening the foundational skills developed in UN 100B; skills that are necessary
for continued academic success at the college level. The course will enhance students’ oral and
written communication skills, augment involvement in the academic and career planning
process, and strengthen self-awareness as a college student and community member.
17. General University Studies
i. Change Associate of Applied Science Degree

18. School of Education
Date of Implementation: Fall 2013
i.
Eliminate Courses
a. ED 222: Classroom Management (1cr.)
b. ED 223: Multicultural Education (1cr.)
Rationale: ED 222 and ED 223 are one credit elective courses to help meet the State of
Michigan accreditation requirements and TEAC requirements. The Michigan Department of E
no longer requires courses in these areas as part of teacher certification. Because of inconsistent
enrollments, the department believes these goals and objectives may be achieved through a
different format.
ii.
Create Courses
c. ED 451: Seminar in Classroom Management (1cr.)
Rationale: ED 451 Seminar in Classroom Management is a one credit elective offered by the
School of Education to help meet the State of Michigan accreditation requirements and the
requirements of our national accreditation agency the Teacher Education Accreditation Council
(TEAC). Currently, the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) does not require a course in
classroom management as part of teacher certification requirements. Other states do. However,
teacher candidates consistently express concern about lacking enough management strategies and
techniques to be comfortable in their student teaching placements, substitute teaching

opportunities and first few years of full-time teaching. The NMU School of Education 2010-11
Teacher Preparation Report to the state reflects this concern. This seminar is intended to meet
these needs.
It will be taken concurrently with ED 450 Seminar in Student Teaching.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
ED 451 Seminar in Classroom Management
1 credit
Offered: Fall, Winter
Prerequisite: Current enrollment in ED 450, or with permission of the School of Education
Graded: S/U
This seminar explores a variety of techniques and methods to effectively manage behavior in the
classroom to decrease disruptions and increase instructional time. It focuses on the roles,
responsibilities, issues, and concerns of student teachers, teachers and school personnel as active
managers of student behavior. Field experience is a required component.
d. ED 452: Seminar in Multicultural Education (1cr.)
Rationale: ED 452 Seminar in Multicultural Education is a one credit elective offered by the
School of Education to help meet the State of Michigan accreditation requirements and the
requirements of our national accreditation agency the Teacher Education Accreditation Council
(TEAC). Currently, the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) does not require a course in
multicultural education as part of teacher certification requirements; however, other states do.
This seminar is intended to provide students with the opportunity to enhance their knowledge
and applicable strategies when faced with diverse and multicultural situations.
It will be taken concurrently with ED 450 Seminar in Student Teaching.
Proposed Bulletin Copy:
ED 452 Seminar in Multicultural Education
1 credit
Offered: Fall, Winter
Prerequisite: Current enrollment in ED 450, or with permission of the School of Education
Graded: S/U
This seminar will approach multicultural and global perspectives within current school settings
including curricular design and planning; instructional design, practice and evaluation; and
teachers’ and students’ knowledge, attitudes, and behavior. Field experience is a required
component.

Sociology and Social Work at NMU
The Sociology and Social Work Department offers major programs in sociology, sociology in
liberal arts and social work. The department offers minor programs in anthropology, sociology
and social services. The department also participates in the interdisciplinary minors in
CUP Report to the Senate, February 5, 2013

gerontology and international studies. (See the “Interdisciplinary and Individually Created
Programs” and “International Studies” sections of this bulletin.)
The sociology program at Northern is designed to increase the understanding of human social
behavior. The program emphasizes both theory and methodology, particularly as these may be
brought to bear on the study of human interaction, social institutions, or analysis of
contemporary social problems. Students have the opportunity to investigate a variety of areas
such as crime and deviance, family, minority groups, religion and social change. The sociology
major is best suited to students who intend to go to graduate school or to be employed in a
position which might require skills in research, data analysis and writing. The sociology in
liberal arts major is more general, and does not provide these research strengths.
The mission of the social work program is to prepare students for entry into beginning social
work practice with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. Students
completing the social work program are uniquely prepared for generalist practice in the region of
the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and have developed a generalist practice base to continue their
professional development through graduate study.
The BSW program has seven primary goals: (1) every BSW graduate shall be prepared for
beginning generalist practice. All BSW students will be versed in content about practice with
client systems of various sizes and types; (2) students shall be prepared to practice with diverse
populations; (3) the program shall provide content about the contexts of social work practice, the
changing nature of these contexts, the behavior of organizations and the dynamics of change; (4)
the values and ethics that guide professional social work practice shall be infused throughout the
curriculum and made evident in the operation of the social work program; (5) students shall be
educated with an awareness of their responsibility to continue their professional growth and
development; (6) the program shall provide educational opportunities that reflect regional needs
related to substance abuse and gerontology; and (7) the program shall promote an understanding
of and application to a knowledge base in social welfare for students in other human service
fields.
The mission of the social work program is to prepare competent professionals committed to
advancing social justice, human rights, and the dignity and worth of diverse individuals, groups,
families and communities through generalist social work practice. Accredited by the Council on
Social Work Education, the program delivers competency-based instruction designed for
students’ acquisition of core social work knowledge, values and skills.
The BSW program has six main goals that reflect the core social work competencies outlined in
the Council of Social Work Education’s Educational Policies and Accreditation Standards.
These include: (1) Prepare social workers for generalist social work practice with diverse
populations and in diverse settings, (2) Promote identification with the social work profession
and its values and ethics that guide practice, (3) Provide an environment that fosters respect for

diversity, and the pursuit of human rights and social justice, (4) Educate future social workers on
social work theory, especially human behavior in the social environment frameworks, and
develop their abilities to apply these in engaging, assessing, intervening with, and evaluating
individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities, (5) Educate future social workers
to use critical thinking in all aspects and levels of practice and use lifelong learning in
continuously honing skills and developing knowledge that will allow them to deliver more
effective services, and (6) Develop future social work leaders who will use their knowledge,
skills and values to create effective services in the region, state and beyond.
Northern’s Bachelor of Social Work program is fully accredited by the Council on Social Work
Education (CSWE).
Program Completion
Students must complete all course work comprising the social work curriculum as defined above
with a minimum 2.50 grade point average, show evidence of compliance with the NASW Code
of Ethics, demonstrate mastery of the core social work competencies outlined in the Council of
Social Work Education’s Educational Policies and Accreditation Standards, be recommended by
the BSW faculty, and meet all other requirements established by the university for graduation.
