Dean Lindquist introduced the proposal for a Master's in Passing option in the Division of Psychology in Education. Professor Moore, Director of the Division of Psychology in Education, was present to respond to questions, including clarifying when the M.A. or M.Ed. would be awarded, the use of the GRE Advanced Examination in Psychology as a requirement for continuation in the doctoral program, and that the requirements for the master's degree to be awarded as a part of the proposed option will be the same as the existing master's requirements. The proposal for the Master's in Passing option was recommended for approval pending minor revision.
Professor Thompson and Dean Lindquist introduced the proposal for a graduate certificate in Evidence-based Practice in Nursing and Healthcare in the College of Nursing. Professor Fineout-Overholt from the College of Nursing was present to respond to questions, including prospective students who might pursue the proposed certificate, course delivery mode, accommodations for non-local students pursuing the proposed certificate online, availability of internships for students in the proposed program, minimum GPA required for successful completion of the certificate, likelihood of completion of the certificate in a one year, need for a sample program of study and timeline in the proposal, funding and budget projections, tracking non-degree students admitted to the program, and restricted enrollments in the courses required for the proposed certificate. The proposal for the graduate certificate in Evidence-based Practice in Nursing and Healthcare was recommended for approval pending minor revision.
Professor McCarthy and Dean Dickson introduced the proposal for a graduate certificate in Epidemiology and Biostatistics in the School of Health Sector Management. Mr. Bartle from the School of Health Sector Management was present to respond to questions, including any option for retroactive awarding of the certificate, the meaning of "health research tools" in the proposal, the intended target audience and demand for the program, the use of transfer credit into the program, admissions requirements including prerequisite coursework, satisfactory academic progress requirements, the effective date for the proposed certificate, and a description of the "Executive Committee". The proposal concept was endorsed by the Council, however a recommendation was withheld pending revision to the proposal.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:00 p.m.
Respectfully submitted by
