| Name: | PCC Proposal to Terminate or Suspend Inactive EDCI Graduate Programs |
| Proposed: | 11/27/2009 |
| Sponsor: | PCC Committee |
| Proposal: | The College of Education wishes to terminate or suspend the following inactive graduate programs in order to remove them from the Maryland Higher Education Commission Academic Program Inventory. All but one of these programs are inactive. These inactive programs have no enrolled students or applicants. The College is proposing to suspend the one program that is still active. The programs proposed for termination are as follows: 1. The M.A. in Curriculum and Instruction Computers in Education Area of Concentration 2. The Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction Art Education Area of Concentration 3. The Large Scale Assessment Post-Baccalaureate Certificate offered by the Department of Measurement, Statistics and Evaluation 4. The M.A. in Measurement, Statistics and Evaluation Measurement Area of Concentration 5. The M.A. in Measurement, Statistics and Evaluation Statistics Area of Concentration 6. The M.A. in Measurement, Statistics and Evaluation Program Evaluation Area of Concentration 7. The M.Ed. in Education Concepts and Practices 8. The Ph.D. in Counseling and Personnel Services Counseling and Consultation Area of Concentration 9. The MA in Curriculum and Instruction Specializations in Elementary Education, Reading Education, and Second Language Education and Culture 10. The Ph.D. and Ed.D. Elementary Education Area of Concentration. Additionally, the College of Education would like to suspend the M.A. in Curriculum and Instruction Non-Thesis Option Areas of Concentration in Mathematics Education; Minority and Urban Education; and Science Education. These are low enrollment specializations that are available (and more suitable for) the Thesis Option for the M.A. The proposal was submitted to the Senate by the Office of Academic Affairs following favorable recommendation by the Academic Planning Advisory Committee (APAC) on October 26; the Graduate Council Programs, Curricula & Courses Committee on November 19 (with email notification to the full Graduate Council); and the Senate Programs, Curricula & Courses Committee on December 4. |
