Justification For Request

What research has led to this request?

This new course is being submitted to replace DCD 345 in the major. DCD 345 does not fit the current program as a transition course into more advanced courses. The course was created before the department/program hired two additional full-time tenure track faculty. An open topic DCD 300 course will feature the varying expertise of DCD faculty, but all sections will provide an introductory basis for more advanced methods and theory DCD curriculum.

What impact will this request have on existing academic programs?

None. This is a replacement for an existing course.

What financial costs are associated with this request?

None.

If NO change in cost is anticipated, how is this possible?

This is a replacement for an existing course.

Any additional information

We will soon submit changes to the major including the removal of DCD 345 from the catalog.
