Rationale: The research base surrounding gender in education has expanded enormously since

this course was created. Research and resource materials are now available related to gender

differences in student-teacher interactions, teacher evaluation patterns, student-student

interactions, disciplinary policies, etc. The course title and content needs to be changed to reflect

the broader scope of currently available research and resource materials.

Impact: Dr. Janette, Director of the Women’s Studies Program, was contacted 2/13/15. She

responded by e-mail 2/16/15, reporting that EDCI 735 had been removed from the courses

approved for Women’s Studies credit because it was no longer being offered on a regular basis.

Dr. Janette reported that the Department of Women’s Studies had no objection or concern about

Rationale: The intention is to create course designations that are specific to each academic

program within the School of Family Studies and Human Services. Given the size of the School,

it will be easier for students to locate the courses specific to each program if they are labeled

with unique prefixes.

Impact: In consultation with the CHE Academic Affairs and KSU Academic Affairs

committees, course prefix changes will be made uniformly across campus in the online course

catalog.

RATIONALE: This is a change to the term offered only. The offering term is being changed

from Fall to Spring in order to better coordinate with department scheduling priorties. Changes

are highlighted in RED below. Other information in black or left open is not being changed.

IMPACT: No


FROM: TO:

ECON 948 – Economics of Regulation. (3) II.

Theory of regulatory economics and its

analytical techniques. Principal-agent theory,

theories of economic regulation, Ramsey

pricing, peak-load pricing, non-uniform

pricing, cross-subsidization, rate-of-return

regulation, incentive regulation, and

regulation in the presence of asymmetric and

incomplete information. Pr.: ECON 735.

ECON 948 – Empirical Industrial

Organization. (3) II. Analysis of market

outcomes resulting from behavior and

strategy of economic agents in imperfectly

competitive markets, using econometric

methods. Topics may include: models of

consumer demand and methods of estimation;

identifying and measuring market power and

market effects of mergers; static models of

entry and industry structure; single-agent

dynamic structural models; dynamic

oligopoly games; production, technology and

industry structure; and other recent advances

in empirical industrial organization. Pr.:

ECON 940 and ECON 830, or consent of

instructor.

RATIONALE: Previous course title, description and much of its content have become dated and

do not reflect current methods and issues of primary importance in this area of economics.

IMPACT: We anticipate that the only department that might be interested to learn of the

proposed course update is the Department of Agricultural Economics, since graduate students in

that department often take graduate courses offered by the Economics Department. Both the

department head, Professor Allen Featherstone, and graduate program director, Professor Jeffrey

Peterson, of Agricultural Economics were informed in writing on February 25, 2015 of this

course-update plan. On March 2, 2015, Professor Jeffrey Peterson, on behalf of the Agricultural

Economics Department, informed the Economics Department that the proposed changes were

considered and deemed acceptable to the Agricultural Economics Department.

(3) II. Qualitative research techniques, and

integration of qualitative and basic statistical

research techniques (mixed methods), with

Consideration of ethics, data collection, and

RATIONALE: The course is attracting by far more graduate students than undergraduates,

making the course awkward for the occasional undergraduate. In particular, connection content

to graduate research has been an important part of the course. The only change requested is thus

a shift from the 700-level to the 800-level.

Theatre with concentration in Drama Therapy

(M.A.)

Kansas State University is one of the few

master level theatre programs in the U.S.

which offers a concentration in drama

therapy, which is offered through the Music,

Theatre, and Dance graduate program. One

of the strengths of the program is its strong

theatre base and opportunities for creating

drama-in-education, theatre-in-education, or

issue-based community projects. Service

learning and internships are incorporated into

courses to provide students with direct client

contact experiences.

30 semester credits are required, including a

minimum of 6 courses (18 credits) in drama

therapy, one course in dramatic literature (3

credits), one other course in theatre (3

credits), and at least two electives in

psychology or marriage and family therapy (6

credits). Students are encouraged to

participate in drama therapy internships and

practica throughout their course of study.

Drama Therapy students are required to focus

their creative projects on an aspect of drama

therapy. The KSU MA program fulfills many

of the requirements of the North American

Drama Therapy Association’s Alternative

Training Program. Other alternative training

requirements can be earned through additional

course electives in drama therapy and

psychology beyond the basic 30 hours of the

MA.

Students in the drama therapy concentration

may apply for Graduate Teaching

Assistantship positions in Public Speaking,

Introduction to Theatre, or Acting. These

RATIONALE: The curriculum is currently not in line with the drama therapy courses required

by the North American Drama Association (NADTA) which is the accrediting body for drama

therapy MA degrees. NADTA requires a minimum of 24 graduate hours in drama therapy. This

change would give us the appropriate amount of graduate courses in drama therapy. The

NADTA also requires a minimum of 5 graduate psychology courses in the areas of research

methods, developmental psychology, abnormal/psychopathology, psychology of personality, and

group processes/group counseling. This change brings us more in line with their psychology

requirements.

IMPACT: None. Psychological Sciences, Anthropology, Family Studies and Human Service,

and the College of Education have been notified. Psychological Sciences, Anthropology, and

Family Studies and Human Services have all approved the courses listed in their departments.

The College of Education has not responded.

640 Software Testing Techniques in the B.S. in CS, SE Option. CIS 544 is closely related

to CIS 501 Software Architecture and Design, which is already required for all CS

undergraduate degrees. We feel that replacing CIS 544 with CIS 640 would add an

important area to the Software Engineering Option.

Non-Expedited New Curriculum

FROM: TO:

No area of specialization is currently offered.

G10-Civic Education

This area of specialization is designed for

teachers who wish to further their

understandings of civic education curriculum,

content, and pedagogy. Courses are designed

to provide a contemporary perspective on

teaching civic education in K-12 schools.

EDCI 781 Teaching the Theoretical

Foundations of Constitutional Government (1

hour)

EDCI 782 Teaching the Historical Origins of

Constitutional Government (1 hour)

EDCI 783 Teaching the Development of

Constitutional Principles (1 hour)

EDCI 784 Teaching the Institutions of

Government (1 hour)

EDCI 785 Teaching the Bill of Rights (1 hour)

EDCI 787 Teaching Citizenship (1 hour)

EDCI 788 Teaching the Constitutional

Principles of America’s Founders (3 hours)

EDCI 789 Methods and Materials in Civic

Education (3 hours)

EDCI 790 Engaged Citizens: Public Policy

Issues and Processes (3 hours)

Or other courses approved by the advisor;

these hours may include up to six hours in

political science, history, or law.

RATIONALE: The Department of Curriculum and Instruction currently offers nine

specializations for its Master’s degree. This is a proposal to add a 10th area of specialization in

civic education.

Civic education is an historic purpose of schooling in the United States. From the Founding until

today, scholars, politicians, and citizens have agreed that K-12 schools should prepare students

for responsible, humane participation in civic and political life. K-12 schools serve both public

and individual purposes. Today, we expect schools to prepare students to be college-ready,

career-ready, and citizenship-ready.1 The mission statements of many school districts include

32

preparation for democratic citizenship. Despite its enduring significance, most elementary and

secondary teachers enter the profession unprepared to effectively motivate civic learning.2

The College of Education (COE) offers online courses in each of its required areas of the

Curriculum and Instruction Masters degree. The COE seeks to increase high-quality online

offerings both to expand potential markets and to increase national reputation and exposure.

Currently, only one other specialty area (i.e., Mathematics Education) can be completed

exclusively online. Although other universities offer degrees or specializations in social studies

or history education, a specialization in civic education appears unique.

Under a grant from KSU’s Global Campus, the Center for Social Studies Education in the

Department of Curriculum and Instruction has developed and offered a series of online, graduate

civic education courses and has identified nationally recognized faculty to teach each of the

courses. Funding was used to develop 15 hours of new, graduate, online courses. All of the

courses have been successfully piloted and delivered by nationally recognized scholars in civic

education. All faculty have been admitted to the graduate faculty at Kansas State University.

related to investments, the number of relevant competencies is difficult to cover in a

single semester, and a number of comparable programs around the country break the

investments curriculum into two separate courses as we are proposing to do here. FSHS

762 would remain as Investments I, with the newly developed FSHS 782 serving as a

second course in investments. This would allow us to ensure that all of the necessary

synthesis and evaluation) to conduct technical research and communicate the results of that

research in both oral and written forms.

Requisites Prerequisites: ACCTG 342 and ACCTG 443. May be taken currently with ACCTG

442.


Rationale: This course is being offered as a substitute for ACCTG 642 and made available only

for MAcc students with accounting degrees from other institutions that do not require a similar

research and communication course in their undergraduate curriculum. This course is required by

Kansas State University undergraduate accounting majors, so those students that matriculate to

the MAcc program from that major would not be taking this course. Students will take this

course with one of the ACCTG 642 sections and be required to submit an additional final paper

to reflect the additional rigor expected of graduate level students.



ACCTG 855 Financial Statement Analysis and Business Valuation, Credits: (3) This course

is about the analysis of financial information for making decisions to invest in businesses. The

methods of fundamental analysis will be examined in detail and applied in cases and projects

involving listed companies. Topics include models of shareholder value, a comparison of

accrual accounting and discounted cash flow approaches to valuation, the analysis of

profitability, growth and value generation in a firm, diagnosing accounting quality, forecasting

earnings and cash flows, pro-forma analysis for strategy and planning, and the determination of

price/earnings (P/E) and market-to-book (P/B) ratios.

Requisites Prerequisites: Must have graduate school status.


Rationale: As businesses have become more and more complex in the way they present their

financial information to shareholders, professional accountants are being called on to analyze the

underlying data using more advanced methodologies. This course is designed to provide the

tools needed to meet those needs for Financial Statement Analysis and Business Valuation.



47

ACCTG 856 Accounting Analytics, Credits: (3) This course will develop in-depth knowledge

of the use of Microsoft Excel and other technology to analyze complex accounting information.

The course will focus on using large volume data sets to simulate real world analytical problem

solving.


When Offered: Spring, Summer

Rationale: With the ever growing complexity of businesses and their transactions, demand for

analytical skills and the use of technology to apply those skills has been growing in the

accounting profession. Alumni and recruiters that hire our graduates have indicated that these

skills are becoming essential not for initial job placement, but also for long-term career success.

This course is designed to use some of the latest technology to develop more complex analytical

skills targeted at accounting data.



ACCTG 895 Accounting Internship, Credits: (3) This course provides an opportunity for

students to experience firsthand the work performed by typical accountants on a day to day basis.



Rationale: Graduate level accounting internship for practical experience.



ACCTG 896 Accounting International Experience, Credits: (3) Students will experience a

faculty supervised travel abroad experience that will expose them to international issues related

to accounting and general business.

Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.)

The master of business administration (MBA)

program, offered through the College of Business

Administration , is designed to provide professional

business education to individuals who wish to pursue

a variety of administrative careers in both the private

and public sectors. The theme of the curriculum is

intrapreneurship which can be defined as an

“entrepreneurial attitude and approach to

management and problem-solving within any

organization, large or small.” Throughout the

program, the focus is “what one needs to know to run

a business” while developing the ability to analyze all

types of business situations and propose appropriate,

creative and financially sound solutions. The

curriculum combines conceptual, analytical and

experiential approaches to learning both in and out of

the classroom. Once the foundation of basic problem

solving tools and knowledge in each functional area

is established, the program deepens the

interdisciplinary understanding of problem-solving

approaches and their functional, ethical,

environmental and international ramifications. The

program then culminates with a required capstone

practicum. This practicum makes the K-State MBA

unique in the area, by providing an interdisciplinary,

consulting-type of experience for all students in their

last semester of study.

The MBA curriculum is a 45 credit hour program

designed to be completed in two years of full-time

study or four years of part-time, typically evening

study. Four components comprise the curriculum:

Business core (27 credit hours)

Integrated Core (6 credit hours)

On-Campus students may choose to pursue a

prespecified, focused Concentration in lieu of the Set

of Electives. Students pursuing a master’s degree in

another field may choose to use 9 credit hours from

their other Masters as the Set of Electives in the

MBA. Thus, a dual Masters/MBA can be obtained

with an additional 39 credit hours.

Both on-campus and online students with more than

three years of approved full-time work experience

may choose to waive six credit hours of electives.

Online students must have three years of full-time

approved work experience and should take GENBA

875 (1 credit) International Business Experience and

GENBA 800 (2 credits) Professional Development

and one three hour elective in place of the Set of

Electives.

The Integrated Core will be composed of a three-

credit hour theory component with a three credit hour

practicum component. The full time program of study

can be completed in 22 months.

Before beginning the MBA coursework, students

must acquire basic competency in mathematical

analysis, statistics and economic theory and analysis.

These competencies may be acquired through

specific undergraduate course work with the number

of courses required depending on the applicant’s

prior academic work. This basic competency

coursework may be taken after admission to the

MBA program during the student’s first semester.

Once admitted, MBA students are responsible for

making themselves aware of Graduate School

On-Campus students may choose to pursue a

prespecified, focused Concentration in lieu of the Set

of Electives. Students pursuing a master’s degree in

another field may choose to use 9 credit hours from

their other Masters as the Set of Electives in the

MBA. Thus, a dual Masters/MBA can be obtained

with an additional 39 credit hours.

Both on-campus and online students with more than

three years of approved full-time work experience

may choose to waive six credit hours of electives.

Online students must have three years of full-time

approved work experience and should take GENBA

875 (1 credit) International Business Experience and

GENBA 800 (2 credits) Professional Development

and one three hour elective in place of the Set of

Electives.

The Integrated Core will be composed of a three-

credit hour theory component with a three credit hour

practicum component. The full time program of study

can be completed in 22 months.

Before beginning the MBA coursework, students

must acquire basic competency in mathematical

analysis, statistics and economic theory and analysis.

These competencies may be acquired through

specific undergraduate course work with the number

of courses required depending on the applicant’s

prior academic work. This basic competency

coursework may be taken after admission to the

MBA program during the student’s first semester.

Once admitted, MBA students are responsible for

making themselves aware of Graduate School

policies and deadlines.

A professional development plan developed in

conjunction with the PMBA advisor that

identifies areas for professional development

to be implemented during the duration of the

program of study. Implementation of the

professional development plan will be

documented through a professional

development portfolio.

Rationale:

These changes modify the emphasis areas in the program to reflect changes in course offerings

and strategies from Enterprise Information Systems to Data Analytics. An emphasis in

Marketing is added, consistent with available courses and courses that students are already

taking. To provide students with more flexibility in elective offerings, Electives are allowed at

the 600-level, rather than requiring two 800-level courses. Simplifying processes for the PMBA,

the international business experience is increased to three credit hours, and the professional

development portfolio is make a non-credit curricular requirement rather than a course.

Impact On Other Units:

No other units are impacted

Effective Date:

Spring 2016
