Professor Rick Barnes, HPERS/Health, presented requests to revise the BS in School and Community Health Education, add HLTH 5000, Applied Principles of Health Promotion, delete HLTH 4100 and change HLTH 4310 to HLTH 5310. Letters of support were presented from Professor Jerry Lotterhos, Community Health; Professor Wilbur Castellow, Psychology; and Professor David Knox, Sociology and Anthropology. Wilentz moved to accept as amended. Carlton seconded. The motion passed. Dean Don Bailey, representing the subcommittee on the "second major", presented the following recommendations of the subcommittee as follows: Preamble: The "second major'' is proposed as a rigorous new degree component with a high degree of academic integrity quantitatively situated between the degree-granting major and the minor. The “second major" offers additional flexibility for persons who wish to pursue a discipline beyond the completion of a minor but not to the extent of the completion of a degree-granting major. The flexibility provided by the "second major" will be available, as developed by units, to all students and will respond to the Board of Governors' mandate requiring teacher education degree candidates to complete a "second major" in one of the basic academic disciplines. Definition: The "second major" is a degree component, in keeping with the pattern of the BA major, consisting of 30-36 s.h. of course work, which may include hours useable as general education credit. To help insure the integrity of the "second major", there should be a significant percentage of credit at the upper division level. Characteristics and Utility: -The "second major'' is not a degree-granting major; thus, it may not be used as a degree major or as a major in a double major program. It may, however, be used in lieu of a minor. -The “second major" is a new category; existing major, minor, and double major categories are not changed. -Cognate requirements for the “second major'' should be limited to those courses necessary as prerequisites for progression in the “second major" discipline. -Area Studies and International and Interdisciplinary Programs could be developed as "second majors". Development: -Units are invited to present proposals for "second majors" through normal curriculum channels. -Existing majors which meet these guidelines, including the hour limitations, can be made available as "second majors" for degree programs. -The "second major'' must be selected with the approval of the student's major unit head. -An approved degree-granting major may be substituted for a ‘second major". Grossnickle moved acceptance of the concept and guidelines of the subcommittee report. Neal seconded. After much discussion a division of the committee was made and the motion passed. The meeting adjourned at 3:45.
