| Name: | PCC Proposal to Restructure the B.A. in Secondary Education |
| Proposed: | 01/12/2010 |
| Sponsor: | PCC Committee |
| Proposal: | The College of Education wishes to restructure the B.A. in Secondary Education. Currently there are multiple Secondary Education B.A. options defined by disciplinary focus. For instance, students in the Foreign Language track will graduate with a B.A. in Secondary Education Foreign Languages while students in the English track will graduate with a different Secondary Education B.A. in English Language Arts. There is no general Secondary Education B.A. degree. This proposal is to convert the different Secondary Education B.A. degrees into one Secondary Education B.A. with specializations in these disciplinary areas. The students' knowledge in these disciplinary areas will not be compromised because the course requirements for the specializations will remain the same, and consistent with state teacher preparation requirements, the students must also complete a major in their academic content area in addition to the major in Secondary Education. Consequently, the College proposes the following changes: 1. Rename the B.A. in Secondary Education Foreign Language as the B.A. in Secondary Education. 2. Suspend the B.A. in Secondary Education English (Language Arts) 3. Suspend the B.A. in Secondary Education Social Studies 4. Establish B.A. in Secondary Education specializations in Foreign Language, English, and Social Studies. 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 and the Senate Programs, Curricula & Courses Committee on December 4. |
