new academic programs:
(Provost’s Council no longer approves new programs; this presented to the Council for information only)
Bachelor of Applied Science in Early Childhood, College of Applied Science of Technology
This degree’s focus is to create early childhood practitioners who have a deep understanding of how to best meet the developmental and learning needs of children birth through age 8. The BAS EC program aligns learning outcomes with the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) professional standards. The program is currently active as an emphasis in the Bachelor of Applied Science, and we are proposing it now as a standalone major.

Bachelor of Science in Applied Biotechnology, College of Ag & Life Sciences: School of Plant Science, Department of Nutritional Sciences, School of Animal & Comparative Biomedical Sciences
With this major, we aim to prepare students for careers in sectors of the agricultural, food, and manufacturing industries where interdisciplinary teams address the problem of sustaining the human population under the pressures of a growing population, land use changes, and climate change. This major focuses on practical solutions to help the University advance its land-grant mission, and is interdisciplinary, with required courses covering microbiology, plant biology, food science, and nutrition.

BA in Human Rights Practice, College of Social & Behavioral Science
Building off the successful SBS Online Graduate Program in Human Rights Practice, we are proposing a fully online BA in Human Rights Practice. There are currently only eight undergraduate human rights programs in the US, and none yet fully online. This major provides students with a focused program of study in an important and growing field that is critical for addressing numerous socio-political issues. Students will graduate with a portfolio of applied work, a large network of contacts, and marketable skills for the practice and application of human rights around the globe.

BA in Fashion Industry Science and Technology, College of Ag & Life Science: School of Family & Consumer Sciences
Agendas in both design and merchandising are fully interrelated in the fashion industry and in this online major. This program will emphasize the use of data analysis, digital software skills, and ethical practices. Students will master the skills needed for global retail operations and management and will learn how to ethically increase retail profits through fashion design, apparel knowledge and business acumen.

RCM revision:
RCM will be re-branded as Activity Informed Budgets (AIB).
currently: developing Principles for AIB and starting project of modeling changes.
This will return to Provost’s Council next week for detailed review and discussion.
