Senate Motion #2018-61

Motion Introduced by: Curriculum and Academic Programs Committee, Caroline Harrison, Chair

Date of First Reading: April 23, 2018

Date of Second Reading: August 27, 2018

Title of Motion: Request from the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College – Division of Teacher Preparation - to change the academic organization of an undergraduate degree – BAE in Educational Studies

Action Requested: This curricular proposal has received all college, school, unit and university administrative approvals, and is being presented to the Senate for review and voting decision.   

Rationale: Educational Studies is a non-certification program for students who are not preparing to become certified teachers. It is the only non-initial-certification undergraduate degree offered in Teacher Preparation and fits more comfortably within the degree offerings of the Division of Educational Leadership and Innovation, where programs are mostly outside of initial certification. The Teachers College leadership believes the program belongs with all other non-initial-certification programs.
