Tempe Graduate Council
January 25, 2005
The Tempe Graduate Council met on Tuesday, January 25, 2005, at 2:45 p.m. in Wilson Hall, Room 132. Graduate College Associate Dean Filiz Ozel presided.
Also in attendance were Vice Provost and Dean of Graduate Studies Allison; Graduate College Deans Zatz and Lindquist; Professors Barrett, Brooks, Chawla, Christopher, Demaine, Koonce, Thompson, Villalobos and Zhou; and student member Hahn.
Excused: Academic Senate representative Mayer; Professors McCarthy and Savenye.
Dean Ozel provided an overview of recent Graduate College business, including the activities of the Multi-Campus Workgroup, consisting of graduate administration representatives from Tempe Campus, West Campus and the East Campus.
The minutes for the November 30, 2004 meeting were approved with one correction.
Dean Ozel led a discussion on revisions to the guidelines for joint bachelor's/master's programs, previously approved by Tempe Graduate Council in 2002. Questions included differential tuition issues, faculty advising and oversight, admissions criteria, number of hours which may be shared between a first and second bachelor's degree, faculty involvement, and the benefits to students in such programs. The revised guidelines were recommended for approval.
Professor Thompson led a discussion of the proposal for implementation authorization for the Master of Liberal Studies degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS). CLAS Divisional Dean Deborah Losse was present to respond to questions, including the nature of the required core courses for the degree, pre-requisites for elective courses, the ability for non-traditional students to complete the program within two years, the nature of the integrative project, the future of the interdisciplinary Humanities program, the nature of the concentrations for the proposed degree, and budgetary questions. The Council recommended that the proposal be tabled pending further revisions. The revised proposal will be distributed electronically for Council recommendation.
Consideration of the proposal for a joint bachelor's/master's program in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering was postponed to the February 22, 2005 meeting of the Council.
Dean Ozel presented the proposal to disestablish the Master of Arts in Humanities. The proposal was recommended for approval.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:55 p.m.
Respectfully submitted by
Gabriel Goltz.
