Approval of Minors from the College of Arts & Sciences

In a memorandum dated October 12, 2003, approval was requested for the following:

Minors
Replace the first paragraph with the following statement: 

Minors

Replace the first paragraph (pp. 67-68 of the current Undergraduate Catalog) with the following statement:

A minor for Arts and Sciences students requires the completion of 15 semester hours, including 6 upper-division hours, in a coherent program of study. The criterion of coherence may be met in either of two ways: (1) by following the minor curriculum prescribed by any department or college at TTU, so long as it includes at least 6 upper-division hours; (2) if such a minor curriculum is not available in the chosen department or college, by taking the 15 semester hours, including 6 at the upper division, in a single discipline—i.e., normally, courses with the same course prefix, but students should check with the department offering the minor before assuming this. Approved interdisciplinary minors in the College of Arts and Sciences are:

Eliminate the subsequent wording in the first column, beginning with "Business" and ending with "Special Education (SPED)" (i.e., the sections on “Business” and “Education”).

Replace the existing section on “Environmental Studies” with the following:

Environmental Studies  
Home: Department of Earth Sciences.  Advisor: Dr. Larry Knox, Kittrell Hall 201 or 103 (lknox@tntech.edu).
Preparation: Students wishing to minor in Environmental Studies must fulfill their general education science requirement by taking any two of the following courses: BIOL 1010, BIOL 1020, BIOL 1110, BIOL 1120, CHEM 1010, CHEM 1020, CHEM 1110, CHEM 1120,  GEOL 1040, GEOL 1045, or GEOL 1050.
The Minor: A minor in Environmental Studies will consist of at least 15 hours of coursework, with a minimum of 6 upper-division hours, including the following: (a) HIST 2900 Environmental History; (b) One of the following: SOC 3600 Environmental or AGBE 4120; (c) 9 additional semester hours chosen from the course list below, including  at least: one course at the 3000-4000 level and two of the following areas of study:  Agriculture, Biology,  Chemistry, Geography, Geology, and Sociology (note: WFS is considered to be Biology).

AGET 3110, AGRN 1010, AGRN 2210, AGRN 3230, AGRN 4220, AGRN 4230, BIOL 2120/WFS 2120 or BIOL 2130/WFS 2130, BIOL 4130, BIOL 4610, BIOL 4840, CHEM 3710, CHEM 4710, ENGL 4930 or 4931, GEOG 1010, GEOG 2130, GEOG 3330, GEOL 4100, GEOL 4150, GEOL 4410, GEOL 4650, GEOL 4710, GEOL 4720, SOC 3600, WFS 4500.

Note:  Except for Biology majors, students who did not take BIOL 1010-1020 under “Preparation” (above) must take BIOL 2120/WFS 2120 or BIOL 2130/WFS 2130 as part of the “9 additional hours.”

Eliminate the section in the second column beginning "Minors approved for English-Journalism" and ending with "SPCH 4430 or 4620" (i.e., the sections on “English-Journalism” and on “Theatre/Speech”).

Add the following:

Professional Communication
Home: Department of English.  Advisor: Dr. Kristin Walker, Henderson Hall 312A (kwalker@tntech.edu)  
Curriculum: A minor in Professional Communication will consist of at least 15 hours of coursework and will include (1) ENGL 4411; (2) PC/ENGL 4970; (3) PC/JOUR 4940;(4) PC 4850; and (5) PC/JOUR 4360.

A certificate in Professional Communication may be completed by taking the same courses as required for the minor.

Replace the existing section on “Women and Gender Studies” with the following:

Women and Gender Studies
Home: Department of History.  Advisor: Dr. Paula Hinton, Henderson Hall 112 (phinton@tntech.edu)    
Curriculum: A minimum of 15 credit hours of course work in approved courses including a minimum of 9 credit hours from the following core courses: *ENGL 4731, *HIST 4350/5350, HIST 4370/5370, POLS 3400, and SOC 2200.  (*Indicates that course may be repeated provided that topic is different each time.)  The remaining 6 credit hours may include additional core courses listed above or approved courses that contain a significant focus on women and/or gender, or in which a student may individually contract with course instructor to focus on women and/or gender issues.  These courses include, but are not limited to the following: CHEM 2810/HIST 2810; CHEM 2820/HIST 2820; ENGL 4920; HIST 4360 (may be repeated if topic is different); HIST 4440 (may be repeated if topic is different); POLS 3200, 3800, 4610; SOC 2630, 2840, 4210, 4610; Honors 4010; and 4900 in various disciplines.  No student will receive credit toward both the major and the minor from the same course.  Student contracts must be approved by the instructor before the last day to add classes.    

Eliminate the wording at the top of p. 68, beginning with "NOTE" and ending with "in the College of Business Administration."

Motion.  Dean Armistead moved to approve Minors effective January 2004.  The motion was seconded by Dr. Northrup and carried.

Dean Armistead informed the committee that three websites have been designed to aid faculty and advisors in determining whether students who have already finished their general education courses and wish to graduate under the 120-hour curriculum have met the current general education requirements.  One of the websites contains a substitution request form.  Once a course has been approved as a substitution, it will be listed on the web.  

    The following website contains information on the 120-hour curriculum/general education requirements:  http://tntech.edu/records/  (under Faculty section).

Other Such Matters 

There is an International Baccalaureate Diploma for high school students.   Some University's give credit, some use testing for that program. In 2001, TTU Admissions and Credits Committee made the decision that departments would decide whether to test or give credit to their own students.

Dr. Barker stated he would be meeting the International Baccalaureate organization at Cookeville High School to review the school's proposal.  For this meeting, Dr. Barker needs to know if any of our departments give credit for the International Baccalaureate Diploma.

As there were no response, Dr. Barker stated he had his answer.

The meeting was adjourned.
