Request for the revision of an existing course, GEOG 4550, the existing Certificate in Atmospheric Science, the BA degree in Geography, and the BS degree in Applied Geography was approved.

9. New Business: Dr. David Weismiller discussed SACS expectations. He noted that a history of requiring new courses to have measurable course objectives will clearly be to our benefit in terms of SACS reaffirmation in 2013. He also stressed the importance of outcomes assessment and program review at the University, College, and program levels. Outcomes assessment at the student and course level is needed to feed into the program level review. The key is starting with strong courses with measurable objectives. Dr. Weismiller requested that one or two members of the UCC serve on the Working Group on University Outcome Assessment and Program Review.

10. New Business: Proposed Revisions to Part V, Section III of the ECU Faculty Manual. L. Griffin noted that the Educational Policies and Planning Committee has been working on revisions to Part V, which deals with academic program development, since 2005. She noted that historically, the UCC and GCC are involved with Requests to Establish, but not Intent to Plan requests. The committee will resume discussion of the proposed revisions at the next meeting.

11. Meeting was adjourned at 4:15 p.m. by Chair Neil.

A student wishing to enter the honors program in geography must be a junior majoring in geography, have a minimum cumulative 3.0 GPA, have a minimum 3.3 GPA in geography, and have completed a minimum of 21 s.h. in geography. Exceptions to these requirements may be made at the discretion of the departmental chairperson. A student in the honors program is encouraged to enroll, as part of her/his regular curriculum, in GEOG 4900 during the second semester of the junior year, and GEOG 4901 in the first semester of the senior year. Each honors student will carry out an extensive program of carefully supervised reading and research in one of the areas of geography, leading to the preparation of a senior honors thesis. To receive honors, a student must complete both GEOG 4900 and GEOG 4901 with at least a B. Further details about the honors program are available in the departmental office, Brewster A-229.
