All graduate courses in the M.S. in Management can be taken as double-counting courses Click or tap here to enter text TOTAL CREDITS REQUIRED: N/A EFFECTIVE: Fall 2020 RATIONALE: The field of business has changed in the last decade in terms of qualifications and practice. This accelerated admissions program offers our students to increase their management skills prior to graduating with an undergraduate degree as well as offer them the opportunity to acquire an additional academic qualification via the M.S. in Management degree - either in the fields of strategic management or in large scale data analytics - soon after completing their undergraduate degree. By allowing our most qualified students to enter our graduate programs early, we should help students reduce the total time to degree and time to professional certification. This program should enhance the competitiveness of our students in the job market and provides them with the opportunity to add an additional academic credential in an affordable way.

to encourage active student participation and clinical decision making. LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES (YES OR NO): NO GENERAL EDUCATION: N/A EFFECTIVE: FALL ROLE IN CURRICULUM: PHT faculty (fulltime and adjunct) met in June 2019 to discuss weaknesses in clinical acute care. Many students had faced difficulty in acute care settings and several of them failed the clinical affiliation course as a result. We collected data from clinical instructors, students, and CPI. This data was discussed during our annual retreat. It was concluded during the retreat that the PHT program should strengthen its acute care training by creating an independent course to specifically focus on the areas of acute care. RATIONALE: This course will cover a deficiency in the PHT curriculum that was found after a self-study last year. Specifically, the course is designed to provide acute care training to students, an area that is lacking in our curriculum. The course will be in the fall of the third year. This timing was selected to provide advance acute care training to third year students just before going out to clinicals in the succeeding spring semester.

RATIONALE: This course addresses two main challenges for MALS students. First, it will provide them with a solid grounding in scholarly preparation and presentation of work appropriate for graduate-level theses. This includes both research techniques and thesis preparation (proper citation, structuring the paper, and so forth). Second, rather than asking students to conceive, research, write and revise a thesis in the span of a single semester, this course will allow students to begin work on all of these areas a full semester earlier. Addressing these two challenges will lead to better-considered, more robustly-presented, and more academically sound MALS theses.

RATIONALE CHM 250 (Organic Chemistry I) and CHM256 (Organic Chemistry II) are two of the most challenging chemistry courses for undergraduates. Both courses contain a lecture and a laboratory component. Currently they are offered as a 4-credit course, with three hours of lecture and 4 hours of laboratory per week. Over the years, it has been observed that, while 4 hours per week of laboratory are adequate, 3 hours of lecture per week are insufficient for our students. Compared to City College, Hunter College, Brooklyn College and Queens College, four senior colleges that are considered to be

68

the peer senior colleges to CSI, we offer fewer hours and credits: CSI offers Organic Chemistry I with three hours of lecture time and four credits for the course. In contrast, all other four senior colleges require more hours and credits: City College: 4 lecture hours, 4 laboratory hours, 5 credits for the course; Hunter College: 4 lecture hours + 1-2 recitation hours = 5-6 hours, 5 laboratory hours, 6.5 credits for the course; Brooklyn College: 4 lecture hours, 4 laboratory hours, 5 credits for the course; Queens College: 4 lecture hours, 4 laboratory hours, 5 credits for the course. Community colleges also offer this organic chemistry course in a similar fashion: Kingsborough Community College (KBCC): 4 lecture hours, 4 laboratory hours, 5 credits for the course; Bronx Community College (BxCC): 3 lecture hours + 1 recitation hour, 4 laboratory hours, 5 credits for the course; Queensborough Community College (QBCC): 3 lecture hours + 1 recitation hour, 4 laboratory hours, 5 credits for the course; and Hostos Community College (HCC): 3 lecture hours + 1 recitation hour, 4 laboratory hours, 5 credits for the course. Students at CSI who take CHM250 include associate degree and baccalaureate degree students. They have backgrounds similar to students at community colleges such as KBCC, QBCC, BxCC and HCC or students at the City College, Hunter College, Brooklyn College and Queens College. However, our students are receiving less instruction time and fewer credits for this challenging course. Many students who register for CHM250 often struggle, which leads to either a “withdrawal” or “F” grade for the course. In these scenarios, students retake CHM250, which costs them precious time and money. To address this issue and the disparity with our sister colleges we seek to convert the current “3 lecture hours, 4 laboratory hours, 4 credits” course to the proposed “4 lecture hours, 4 laboratory hours, 5 credits” course. This change will not impact students or the college with financial burden as the one hour lecture time increase was accompanied with a 1 credit increase. Rather, we posit that, it will result in improved student success in the course and better preparation for students in subsequent courses, including Organic Chemistry II (CHM256) and Biochemistry I (BIO/CHM370), thereby reducing the ultimate cost and accelerating the rate of graduation.

Communications, Design & Digital Media (DDM), and Journalism concentrations of the Communications major. It is an option for all of these majors that provides analytical and practical experience with the writing genres commonly utilized in advertising and public relations professions. Shifted to the 300-level, the course would provide intermediate experience in this area.

RATIONALE The solo prerequisite COM 332 inadvertently restricted access to this course; many likely registrants did not realize they could request permission of the instructor. COM 332 is required only of those in the Corporate Communications concentration. Students in the other concentrations where this course fulfills a degree requirement are very unlikely to have taken COM 332 and its prerequisite COM 205. Therefore, these courses acted as hidden prereqs for Journalism or DDM students seeking this course. To remove hidden prereqs and minimize requests for individual waivers, we seek to broaden the prerequisite path to this course, and to modify that path to allow ENL majors to enter, given that the course is crosslisted.
