Course and program proposals

ESPP Program/Courses

• M.Ed. Education Administration with an emphasis on School Administration
  • Julie moved motion to approve the M.Ed program
    • Katie seconded the motion
  • M.Ed program has been under construction and changes have been made to have the program description reflect what the program is doing. The program wants to change the GPA min from a 2.75 to a 3.00 for admission to the program. It would still be possible to be accepted with a GPA under a 3.00 and that would be a provisional acceptance / status. 
    • Proposal will be edited and James will work with Betsy Samson to get a better understanding for the GPA requirements
    • This proposal will be voted on contingent upon the changes that are done. James will then send the final  proposal and voting will occur electronically.
  • Proposal was approved unanimously. 
• Education Administration Ed.S.
  • Changing this required program to bringing in 30 hours from the students master’s program instead of the current 33 hours. 
  • In this program the courses will be listed in the program bulletin but not by semester. 
    • This will also make it easier for students to have a clear pipeline to the Ed.D Doctoral program.
      • Mary moved motion to approve this EdS program
        • Julie seconded the motion
          • Program was approved unanimously
• ELE ED-GC5: Elementary Mathematics Specialist Graduate Certificate Program
  • Mary moved the motion to approve this certificate program 
    • Katie seconded the motion
  • This certificate is technically not new, these courses have been offered previously and currently however it has not been offered as a certificate, the credit hours are variable at 24-48 and that available for financial aid purposes 
  • Proposal was approved unanimously
