Proposed Effective Date: Fall 2004	Submitting Department: Behavioral Sciences
Approved by School:	Contact Person:  Judith Hack, X2499
Approved by Univ. Senate:	Form 710 Needed: Yes; Form 40 Needed: No

Subject:    Change in Plans of Study for the Associate of Science Hospitality and

                   Tourism Supervision and the Minor in Hospitality Management.

Justification:  In order to partially meet the new General Education Requirement #9 regarding The Freshman Experience, the HTM program has decided to increase the credit hours in HTM 100-Introduction to the Hospitality and Tourism Industry (from 1 to 2).  No document is required to change the credit hours for HTM 100 as it is a variable credit course (1-3).  This change, however, impacts the Associate of Science degree in Hospitality and Tourism Supervision and the Minor in Hospitality Management, even though neither requires a freshman experience component.

Existing:    See existing Plans of Study (2 attached).

Proposed:  See proposed Plans of Study (2 attached).

Impact on Students:  The increase in hours of HTM 100 will increase the total credits

                          of the associate degree in Hospitality and Tourism Supervision

                          from 70 to 71 credits and increase the total credits in the Minor in

                          Hospitality Management from 19 to 20 credits.  The main student

                           impact is requiring an increase of one credit hour for the

                         associate degree or the minor.   

Impact on Other Academic Units:  None.

Impact on University Resources:  Moderate impact on faculty resources by

                                                        increasing instructional hours of HTM 100 by one

                                                       credit and offering it in both Fall and Spring

                                                       semesters. Faculty is available to teach these

                                                       courses and Library resources are already in place

                                                       or funded.  No laboratory resources are required.

Impact on General Education: 

General Education Requirements are not applicable to associate degrees or minors, therefore no impact.
