PROGRAM CHANGESSUBMITTED FOR BOARD APPROVAL:

PROGRAM CHANGE FROM: TO:

Current program name:TRAVEL INDUSTRY

New name of program:TRAVEL/TOURISM INDUSTRY

S06Justification:Change in name better aligns with the industry as it exists today. Travel has traditionally applied to international travel and the concept of sending people away from their home. Today’s industry has broadened from just “outbound travel” to “inbound travel” or tourism, requiring skills and knowledge in both areas. The new name better reflects that need as well as the revised content of our certificates. Travel/Tourism is offered only at Vista.

*For the Associate in Arts degree in Global Studies, students must complete the General Education pattern and elective courses for an additional 22 units.Students wishing to transfer to the UC or CSU system need to meet with a counselor to develop a transfer plan which addresses all general education and lower-division transfer requirements.

Justification:Though this program was approved by Vista’s Curriculum Committee and CIPD last spring, when it went to the State Chancellor’s office for approval over the summer several changes were required by that office prior to it being approved. The chancellor’s office originally denied the program due to “insufficient university articulation.” In consultation with appropriate Vista Faculty and Administration, the course work was modified by adding one year of foreign language, POSCI 3 (International Relations) and HIST 23 (Global Perspectives). Vista’s Curriculum Committee has approved the changes. This degree is only offered at Vista.

The change in course levels is a recommendation of District staff to conform to the PeopleSoft database structure which utilizes a system of individual, unique courses (with the added option of course repeatability) as this system cannot utilize the variable-level mode that Peralta’s legacy system has been using. As a result Peralta English faculty have reviewed, modified and updated the courses including recommending a unit limit of 1-3 units only (vs. 1-5), specifying two repeats for level A and a prerequisite for Level B, and rewording the course descriptions, student outcomes, and course content.Note: UCN courses offered by Alameda, Laney, Merritt, and Vista.
