Motion Introduced by: Curriculum and Academic Programs Committee, Eduardo Pagan, Chair
 
Date of First Reading: March 31, 2014
 
Date of Second Reading: April 28, 2014

Title of Motion: Request from the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College – Educational Leadership and Innovation– for the name change of a graduate degree From: MA in Social and Philosophical Foundations – To: MA in Educational Policy

Action Requested: The Curriculum and Academic Programs Committee recommends University Senate approval of a proposal submitted by the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College – Educational Leadership and Innovation – for the name change of a graduate degree – From: MA in Social and Philosophical Foundations – To: MA in Educational Policy
 
Rationale: The MA in Social and Philosophical Foundations was a thesis-driven program that generally enrolled only a small number of students per year. Renaming the degree to Educational Policy gives it a broader appeal and the curriculum will be-focused around conducting applied policy research in school settings.
