Course: Demos
Create a new course Scenario: Fred Faculty in the Biology Department proposes a new graduate course,
BIOL500 – Graduate Survey of Molecular Genetics. The proposal is submitted and eventually approved.
Modify an existing course Scenario: Fred modifies this course to (1) change the Subject Code and (2) add a
pre-requisite. The modification is approved.
Compare course versions Scenario: Fred compares the two versions of the course.

Let’s go look at the application…

What is a Program?
• What is a Program?* – Baccalaureate
– Graduate (Masters, Doctoral)
– Professional (Law, Medical, Business)
– Certificate
– Minors
– Departmental Honors
– Continuing Education Non-credit Programs
– Learning Communities
*Not a complete list

Program Design Objectives
Capture Program in a “structured-enough” format to ::
1. Support Curriculum Administrator’s view of programs
2. Capture the way courses are related to programs, via rules
3. Feed a published catalog on one side and (possibly) a degree audit on the other
4. Enable Curriculum Managers to understand the dependencies between programs and courses
5. Provide the basis for program exploration
12
Program Design Approach
• Start with Undergraduate – Baccalaureate
– Major
• Specializations (pathway, track)
– General Education Program
– Departmental Honors Program
– Minor
• Dig into Requirements – Associate Courses with Programs
– Capture other conditions to be met for Entrance, Progression and Completion

– Must complete 1 or more programs
– Minimum GPA for a course, course set, time period or cumulative
– Admitted to Program before some number of credits is earned
– Program entrance or completion must occur within a timeframe of a milestone, admission to the program

View Major View Biological Sciences, an undergraduate major with six areas of specialization.
Add a Learning Objective Add a missing Learning Objective including “on-the-fly” creation of a new LO
Category.
Modify a Program Requirement Modify the Basic Program requirement to include an additional course in the set of
possible courses meeting a rule designed to provide students with general exposure to the curriculum.
