mathematics, some students may have to take MH 113,

I. Course Prerequisite Change
|
BY
233 Applied Nutrition has prerequisities of BY 101 or BY
232. |
We
propose eliminate BY 101
as a prerequisite and require students to have BY
232. |
The level of preparation
needed for success in this course can only be attained
through successful completion of BY 232, in which students
are introduced to the function of the digestive system. |
Academic implications of this
change in acceptable prerequisite should be minimal.
Students taking applied nutrition will typically complete
BY 232 prior to enrollment in the class. |
None. |
|
II. New Course
|
|
Propose a new
course, BY391, Applied Statistics
in Biology (4 semester hours). Prerequisites: MH 113 and
eight hours in biology.
This course will provide an introduction to basic
statistical principles and their application to biological
problems. Topics covered will include descriptive
statistics, probability, and simple hypothesis testing. |
Currently, MH 241 is required in the core
curriculum for all majors in the College of Natural
Sciences and Mathematics. There is a need to elevate the
mathematics requirements. This cannot be done while
requiring MH 241. However, certain majors (and specific
students in all majors) in the college have a need for a
course in statistical applications. |
This course would serve the needs of
biology majors, as well as other science majors, for a
course in basic statistics. MH 241 will be removed from
the core curriculum. |
This course would be taught with existing
facilities and faculty. |
|
III. New Course
|
Currently,
Historical Geology is offered as GE 320 |
Propose
cross-listing Historical Geology as BY
392. 4 Semester Hours.
Course Description: Methods of discovering the earth’s
history, including introduction to fossils and
stratigraphy. Physical and biological history of the
earth with emphasis on the North American continent.
Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week.
Prerequisite: twelve hours of biology. |
This course has significant biological
content and is suitable for cross-listing with a BY
prefix. It will provide another upper level elective for
biology majors. |
None |
This course will be taught with existing
facilities and instructors. |
|
IV. New Course
|
BY 409,
Professional Seminar, has been taught in the Department of
Biological and Environmental Sciences for two years.
It was inadvertently omitted from the 1999-2000 Catalogue. |
Propose a new
course, BY 409 – Professional
Seminar (1 Semester Hour). This is
actually just a relisting of an existing course.
This course provides students
with information and counseling pertinent to prerequisite
academic careers in science, mathematics and medicine. Two
lecture hours per week. Prerequisite: sophomore standing
or permission of the Dean. |
This course is valuable in preparing
student’s for success in professional careers. It has
been instrumental in helping our students succeed in the
admission process for graduate, medical and veterinary
school. |
None |
This course will be taught with existing
facilities and instructors. |
|
V. New Course
|
Currently,
Paleontology is listed as GE 340. |
Propose
cross-listing Paleontology as BY
393. Four semester hours.
Course Description: Taxonomic principles; identification,
characteristics, and evolution of the geologically
important fossil groups; principles of biostratigraphy;
and the cataloguing of fossils collected in the
field. Includes several local and one day field
trips. Three lecture and three laboratory hours per
week. Prerequisite: twelve hours of biology and
permission of dean. |
This course contains significant biological
content and is suitable for cross-listing in Biology. |
None |
This course would be taught with existing
facilities and faculty. |
|
VI. New Course
|
|
Propose a new
course, BY 389 – Advanced
Laboratory Practicum in Biology (1 Semester Hour).
This course will provide advanced training in the
planning, preparation, teaching and evaluation of
laboratory and/or field activities in a specific area of
biology. Emphasis is on techniques specific to a
particular discipline within the field. Five contact
hours per week. Prerequisite: Twenty semester hours
in biology and permission of instructor and dean. |
This course would allow students who have
skills and interests in a particular biological discipline
to work closely with faculty in that area in the design
and conduct of laboratory experiments, field trips and
advanced studies. |
None |
This course will be taught with existing
facilities and instructors. |
|
VII. Course Number Change
|
Currently,
Biochemistry is listed as BY 370. |
Propose changing
course number of Biochemistry to BY 471. |
The content of this course makes it more
suitable for listing as a senior/graduate level offering. |
None |
None |
|
VIII. New Course
|
Currently
Biochemistry is listed only as a junior level course (BY
370). |
Propose a new
graduate level course in Biochemistry, BY
571. |
We are proposing a changing the number of
the undergraduate biochemistry course to BY 471 given that
the course content makes it suitable for listing as a
senior/graduate level course. A listing for the graduate
section is necessary. |
None |
None. The course will be taught with
existing facilities and instructors. |
|
IX. Major Requirement Change
|
The Environmental
Sciences Comprehensive now requires 8 semester hours of
approved electives. |
Reduce
approved electives to 5
semester hours
and add TY 352,
Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (3)
as a required course. |
Encounter with hazardous materials is
commonplace in various environmental science careers. This
course provides the information necessary for person to
work safely around hazardous materials. Many Environmental
Science Internship sites prefer, some even require, that
interns have this training before interning at their site. |
None |
None |
|
X. New Major
Requirement * This form describes a proposed new major
in the Department of Biological and Environmental
Sciences.
|
Currently,
most pre-professional students major in either biology or
chemistry, with a minor in the other. In addition, they
are typically advised to take other courses that are not
included in either of the majors. While many of these
students have been successful, we feel that a
comprehensive major would be more effective in preparing
them. |
We
propose a new major, Biology
Comprehensive:
In addition to the biology core:

This major will better prepare
pre-professional students for admission to schools of
medicine, veterinary medicine, optometry, dentistry, etc.
It includes preparation in human anatomy and physiology,
calculus, physics and other areas that are difficult to
include under the traditional biology major. |
The impact on other programs
should be minimal. |
None. Courses will be taught
with existing faculty and facilities. |

Analysis
Prerequisite: CH 452 |
This course title is usually reserved
for a higher level course, with physical chemistry
as a prerequisite, at other universities. This
change also reflects American Chemical Society (ACS)
guidelines for this course title.
The American Chemical Society is the primary
professional organization in chemistry and
establishes guidelines for undergraduate and
graduate education in chemistry. ACS
certification of our program would not only
strengthen our recruiting efforts and provided
graduates with stronger credentials; it would also
increase opportunities for receiving grants and
donations. With this goal in mind, the
Department of Physical Sciences is recommending a
number of changes, as suggested by our chemistry
faculty based on ACS guidelines. |
Currently being taught at a lower
level, this course is used by environmental science
majors and chemistry minors to study basic
analytical techniques. A new course in
environmental chemistry is being proposed to provide
these students with training more appropriate to
their career paths. (See separate proposal, CH

This is to fill a gap and serve as an
alternative to the current instrumental analysis
course which is being strengthened, with physical
chemistry as a prerequisite, to satisfy American
Chemical Society guidelines (See separate proposal
