PROGRAMS COMMITTEE A meeting of the Programs Committee will be held on Thursday 2 November 2006 at 9.30am in G01, 2.12, (Business 1 Building).

Sharon Clifford Secretary

AGENDA

1.0 APOLOGIES

Apologies can be recorded by telephoning Trish MacElroy on extension 57884, or by emailing [email protected].

2.0 CONFIRMATION OF MINUTES

The minutes of the 7/2006 meeting have been circulated. 3.0 CHAIR’S REPORT

The Chair will report on items of importance to the Committee since its last meeting.

ORDERING OF THE AGENDA

At this point in the agenda, members may propose that any matter on the agenda, not included in Section I, be so included. The New Program Approval - Programs Committee Checklist (04/0893) is attached at the end of this Agenda for reference.

SECTION I: MATTERS FOR DEBATE AND DECISION 4.0 GBS NEW PROGRAM SUBMISSION 2006/0003891

1307, 1308, 1309 GRIFFITH BUSINESS SCHOOL DOUBLE DEGREE PROGRAM

4.1 The Programs Committee, on the recommendation of the Griffith Business School Board 7/2006 (20 October 2006), is asked to consider the New Program Submission proposing to establish the Griffith Business School Double Degree Program (1307 NA, 1308 GC, 1309 LG), as detailed in 2006/0003891, for introduction in semester 1 2007.

4.2 Traditional double degree program offerings within the GBS have been in the form of

structured four-year offerings between two degrees, where demand was deemed appropriate. That structure contained overlap within core and elective course offerings. Since the redesign of the GBS undergraduate degree offerings in 2006, all programs now follow a similar structure for completion.

4.3 Given the implementation of the new structure across the suite of GBS undergraduate

degree programs, the merger of any combination of existing single degrees is achievable through the combination of the core requirements and allowing for the completion of the electives across disciplines. This allows for greater flexibility of combining complimentary areas of study into a four-year double degree program, while utilising existing resources. Such an approach will allow the GBS to offer students the choice of completing traditional areas of Business and Commerce study with one of our key strategic areas of strength such as International Business or Politics into a double degree program that best suits their desired career goals. This in turn will enable the GBS to offer potential students a unique range of offerings with the advantage of achieving a double degree award.


2 November 2006


4.4 To be eligible for the award of Griffith Business School Double Degree Program a student must acquire 320CP as prescribed below: - Complete all core course requirements according to the student’s choice of degree

combination; AND - Complete at least one GBS Academic Award Plan for each degree, according to the

student’s choice of degree combination (all Academic Award Plans offered within the GBS consist of 80CP, except the Accounting major within the Bachelor of Commerce which consists of 100CP in order to satisfy professional accreditation requirements); AND - for Bachelor of Business (Hotel, Tourism, Leisure, Event and Sport) students,

complete either a Work Integrated Learning or Practicum course as part of their GBS Academic Award Plan OR a minimum of 250 hours of relevant approved industry experience; OR

- for Bachelor of Commerce students, 2105AFE [Introduction to Business Law] as part of their GBS Academic Award Plan; AND

- Complete at least 30CP of free choice electives at the required year level according to the student’s choice of degree combination; AND

- Complete no more than 120CP of courses at Year 1 level; AND - Complete at least 60CP at Year 3 level; AND - Gain no more than 40CP of courses in which the grade of Pass Conceded (PC) has

been attained. 4.5 The set of possible degree combinations includes:

- Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Business (Hotel, Tourism, Leisure, Event and Sport)

- Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Commerce - Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Arts (Politics, Asian Studies and International

Relations) - Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of International Business - Bachelor of Business (Hotel, Tourism, Leisure, Event and Sport)/Bachelor of

Commerce - Bachelor of Business (Hotel, Tourism, Leisure, Event and Sport)/Bachelor of Arts

(Politics, Asian Studies and International Relations) - Bachelor of Business (Hotel, Tourism, Leisure, Event and Sport)/Bachelor of

International Business - Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Arts (Politics, Asian Studies and International

Relations) - Bachelor of International Business/Bachelor of Commerce - Bachelor of International Business/Bachelor of Arts (Politics, Asian Studies and

International Relations)

7/2006 (20 October 2006), is asked to recommend to the Academic Committee the New Program Submission proposing to establish the Griffith Business School Double Degree Program (BBus, BCom, BA, BIntBus, 1307 NA, 1308 GC, 1309 LG), as detailed in 2006/0003891, for introduction in semester 1 2007.

For approval 5.0 NRS MAJOR CHANGE SUBMISSION 2006/0003111

1165 BACHELOR OF NURSING / DIPLOMA OF NURSING (MSIT) 5.1 The Programs Committee, on the executive recommendation of the Chair of the Griffith

Health Board (Faculty (27 October 2006), is asked to consider the attached Major Change Submission proposing changes to the Bachelor of Nursing (1165), as detailed in 2006/0003111, for introduction in semester 1 2007.


2 November 2006


5.2 The School of Nursing proposes to establish a new strand into the Bachelor of Nursing to offer a combined program in conjunction with Metropolitan South Institute of TAFE (MSIT), to provide students with an educational pathway to enter Griffith University from the TAFE sector. Students will automatically be offered dual enrolment in the Diploma of Nursing, MSIT, Logan campus and in the Bachelor of Nursing, Griffith University, Logan campus (GU). Students will undertake the Diploma of Nursing which incorporates three GU courses into the Diploma.

5.3 This proposal is submitted for consideration as a 2-year trial. The proposed program will

be evaluated annually. The continuation of this program will be decided on a number of factors; ongoing support from the stakeholders, student numbers and success and course evaluations.

5.4 To be eligible for the award of the Bachelor of Nursing (BN), a student dually enrolled in

the Diploma of Nursing / Bachelor of Nursing [offered in conjunction with Metropolitan South Institute of TAFE (MSIT)] must acquire 240CP as prescribed below: - Successfully complete the Diploma of Nursing at Metropolitan South Institute of

TAFE Logan campus (including 30CP courses at Griffith University) - gain 140CP for the prescribed core courses (including the prescribed core courses

for the TAFE/GU [dual offering] strand); and - gain 10CP for elective courses; and - successfully complete all courses in each year, including clinical experience

requirements, before proceeding to the next year’s courses: - complete professional experience, clinical experience/placement and other

mandatory requirements: o courses or components of courses incorporating clinical experience or other

mandatory components need to be satisfactorily completed to satisfy Degree requirements even though the overall performance would otherwise qualify the student to graduate;

- all prerequisite and corequisite requirements must also be met in order to progress through the program with a minimum grade of Pass (P) to be attained;

- for elective courses only - a student is permitted to accrue no more than 10CP for which a grade of Pass Conceded (PC) has been attained.

Recommendation:

5.5 The Programs Committee, on the executive recommendation of the Chair of the Griffith

Health Board (Faculty) (27 October 2006), is asked to recommend to the Academic Committee the Major Change Submission proposing changes to the Bachelor of Nursing (1165), as detailed in 2006/0003111, for introduction in semester 1 2007.

For approval 6.0 DOH MAJOR CHANGE SUBMISSION 2006/0003561

1259 BACHELOR OF ORAL HEALTH IN DENTAL MEDICINE (NEW ACADEMIC PLAN - MEDICAL DOCTOR) 6.1 The Programs Committee, on the recommendation of the Griffith Health Board (Faculty)

9/2006 (18 October 2006), is asked to consider the attached Major Change Submission proposing changes to the Bachelor of Oral Health in Dental Medicine (1259), as detailed in 2006/0003561, for introduction in semester 1 2007.

6.2 It is proposed to establish a new strand within the Bachelor of Oral Health in Dental

Science, to enable qualified medical doctors entry to undertake studies that lead to completion of the Bachelor of Oral Health in Dental Science, and subsequent entry into the Graduate Diploma of Dentistry. Completion of both the undergraduate and postgraduate programs will lead to eligibility to register as a Dentist in Queensland. The proposed strand makes use of existing core courses within the Bachelor of Oral Health in Dental Science.


2 November 2006


6.3 Under current legislation, entry into the specialist field of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery requires the completion of both a medical degree and a dental degree. Throughout Australia dental schools within Universities offer a fast-tracked dental program for qualified medical doctors. The School of Dentistry and Oral Health has been approached by the Queensland Branch of the specialty with the request to develop an innovative fast-tracked dental program for qualified medical doctors. There is a pressing need to produce a program such as this to meet community demand, particularly in the Gold Coast region, for qualified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

6.4 To be eligible for the award of Bachelor of Oral Health in Dental Science (BOralH),

Medical Doctor Strand, a student must acquire 240CP as prescribed below: - gain 160CP of credit (recognised advanced standing awarded on the basis of prior

medical practitioner qualification); and - gain 80CP for the prescribed core courses; and - all prerequisite and corequisite requirements must also be met in order to progress

through the program; and - the grade of Pass Conceded (PC) will not be awarded in this program; and

Recommendation:

6.5 The Programs Committee, on the recommendation of the Griffith Health Board (Faculty)

9/2006 (18 October 2006), is asked to recommend to the Academic Committee the Major Change Submission proposing changes to the Bachelor of Oral Health in Dental Medicine (1259), as detailed in 2006/0003561, for introduction in semester 1 2007.

For approval

8.0 ICT MAJOR CHANGE SUBMISSION 2006/0002592 1250 BACHELOR OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AT WORK 8.1 The Programs Committee, on the recommendation of the Faculty of Engineering and

Information Technology Board 6/2006 (12 October 2006), is asked to consider the attached Major Change Submission proposing changes to the Bachelor of Information Technology (1250), as detailed in 2006/0002592, for introduction in semester 3 2006 (Summer Semester).

8.2 The School of Information and Communication Technology proposes that the mode of

delivery of the Bachelor of Information Technology (Logan, 1250) will change to allow flexible off-campus learning, and thereby attract students and industry to engage with the program and facilitate student’s involvement in paid employment in their field of study.

8.3 The proposed Bachelor of Information Technology @ Work is designed to offer a

distinctive option to the same programs offered at Nathan and the Gold Coast. It embraces the original idea of flexible delivery from the Logan campus. However experience has indicated that the proportion of courses that students can undertake in flexible mode is to be minimized. With this in mind the School will replicate the mode of delivery of the BIT-Industry at the Gold Coast, but will be more flexible in the focus of the program allowing for a much larger pool of industrial sponsors.

8.4 The first objective is to offer to industry a product of value. Therefore, students will be

engaged with industry after they complete 110CP (80 CP from the first year and 30CP from the first summer semester). Industry will take them on a full-time basis during the standard semester and students will only be required to complete 10CP per standard semester. Industry will acknowledge that the students are involved in the program and will release them for 45 days during each summer to complete 30CP by 3 courses in intensive mode, each lasting 15 working days.

8.5 The fundamental requirements for this program do not change. To be eligible for the award of Bachelor of Information Technology (BInfTech), a student must gain 240CP as prescribed below: - gain 70CP for the prescribed first year courses; - gain 20CP for the prescribed second year courses; - gain 20CP for the prescribed third year courses; - satisfactorily complete the Writing Skills courses [1113ICT / 1114ICT / 1115ICT]

before the end of the final semester of study; - gain at least 100CP for IT-specific and IT-supporting second or third year courses

subject to the following requirements: - at least 40CP for IT-specific and IT-supporting third year courses; - no more than 20CP for IT-supporting second year courses; - no more than 20CP for IT-supporting third year courses;

- gain no more than 30CP for elective or additional IT-supporting courses including: - no more than 20CP for first year courses;

- gain no more than 30CP for courses with a Pass Conceded (PC) grade.

Recommendation: 8.6 The Programs Committee, on the recommendation of the Faculty of Engineering and

Information Technology Board 6/2006 (12 October 2006), is asked to recommend to the Academic Committee the Major Change Submission proposing changes to the Bachelor of Information Technology (1250), as detailed in 2006/0002592, for introduction in semester 3 2006 (Summer Semester).

9.0 GBS NEW ACADEMIC PLAN SUBMISSION 2006/0003893 1289, 1290 BACHELOR OF BUSINESS (HOTEL, TOURISM, LEISURE, EVENT AND SPORT)


Business School Board (24 October 2006), is asked to consider the attached New Academic Plan Submission proposing to add an Event Management Award Major to the Bachelor of Business (Hotel, Tourism, Leisure, Event and Sport) (1289, 1290), as detailed in 2006/0003893, for introduction in semester 1, 2007.

9.2 The proposed academic plan is designed to demonstrate the importance of event

management in the areas of hospitality, leisure, sport, and tourism as an integrating feature or as a stand-alone area. More specifically, it provides a list and description of courses that are the components of the event management major. Event management involves skills in marketing and promotion, programming and planning, financial management, evaluation and impact assessment, project management, as well as an awareness of the influences and effects of the socio-politico-economic context on the nature of events. Particular emphasis through this academic plan will be placed on the importance of strategic planning in a global context characterised by turbulence change and uncertainty. This event management academic plan will refer to existing courses or modifications of existing courses, which will make up this award major. The degree requirements change only to add Event Management major as an alternative.

Recommendation:


Business School Board (24 October 2006), is asked to recommend to the Academic Committee the New Academic Plan Submission proposing to add an Event Management Award Major to the Bachelor of Business (Hotel, Tourism, Leisure, Event and Sport) (1289, 1290), as detailed in 2006/0003893, for introduction in semester 1, 2007.

proposing changes to the Bachelor of Education – Special Education (1052), as detailed in 2006/0002105, for introduction in semester 1 2007.

11.2 The School of Cognition, Language and Special Education proposes the following

changes to: - offer a broader BEdSpEd by removing the current strands and reducing low

enrolment courses, and - embed an honours strand in the BEdSpEd in line with Academic Plan 2

11.3 The proposed changes do not affect admission or degree requirements for this program. 11.4 This degree with Honours can be awarded in the following classes:

- First Class Honours (I) - Second Class - Division A Honours (IIA) - Second Class - Division B Honours (IIB)

Students who pass the thesis component but do not achieve the standard necessary to be awarded (IIB) will be awarded the degree without Honours.

Business School Board (29 September 2006), is asked to consider the attached Major Change Submission proposing changes to the Bachelor of Commerce (1035, 1285, 1286) Bachelor of Business (1034 Gold Coast), Bachelor of Business (1287 Logan), Bachelor of Business (1288Nathan), Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Psychological Science (1039), Bachelor of Arts (Asian and International Studies)/Bachelor of Communication (1147), Bachelor of Arts (Politics, Asian Studies and International Relations) (1291), Bachelor of Arts (Politics, Asian Studies and International Relations) (1292), Bachelor of International Business (1105), Bachelor of Business (Hotel, Tourism, Leisure and Sport) (1289), Bachelor of Business (Hotel, Tourism, Leisure and Sport) (1290), as detailed in 2006/0003560, for introduction in semester 1 2007.

13.2 The Griffith Business School proposes changes to:

- the degree requirements, to complete at least 40CP 60CP at Year 3 level, to conform with the recent changes to the Bachelors Degree Policy; and

- to remove the degree requirement: successfully complete the Learning Development Workshops in Year 1 before proceeding to Year 2 and 3 courses.

13.3 It has been noted that the degree requirement, successfully complete the Learning

Development Workshops in Year 1 before proceeding to Year 2 and 3 courses, is redundant as the requirement to complete the Learning Development Workshop (LDW) program is implicit in the first year core of the degree, hence there is no reason to state this requirement again.

Recommendation:


Business School Board (29 September 2006), is asked to recommend to the Academic Committee the Major Change Submission proposing changes to the Bachelor of Commerce (1035, 1285, 1286), as detailed in 2006/0003560, for introduction in semester 1 2007.

Science Board 4/2006 (6 October 2006), is asked to consider the attached Major Change Submission proposing changes to the Bachelor of Science (1018), as detailed in 2006/0003562, for introduction in semester 1 2007.

15.2 A Task Force for the Review of Science and Technology Education was established in

2005 to review the academic profile, program and course content, campus profile and teaching and learning strategies in the Group in the context of domestic and international student demand; development in the disciplines; strengths and weaknesses of the Group and market acceptance of the Science & Technology profile. The Task Force has recommended a number of initiatives to improve the consistency and quality of teaching practices, improve student retention, expand the number of programs that incorporate work related learning, and better engage key stakeholder groups, such as schools, parents and employers and governments.

15.3 The School of Environmental and Applied Sciences proposes change to the Bachelor of

Science as follows: - The major studies have been reviewed and reworked to eight offerings, with a choice

of a second major or minor that can be taken only in conjunction with the parent major.

- Mid-year entry into the program will be offered and structures have been detailed. The sequence of courses for mid-year entry has been amended to meet prerequisite requirements and this re-ordering has presented some anomalies to the structure for mid-year admission students. The semester load for Environmental Science (with Terrestrial Ecology or Marine Ecology) and Marine Biology (with Biology or Environmental Science) is 30CP Year 1 Semester l and 50CP in Year 3 Semester ll to accommodate prerequisite requirements. First year structure for Marine Biology and Environmental Science with Marine Ecology majors include third year course 3303EAS Planning and Environment Law. This is a pre-assumed course to 3304EAS Environment Assessment and Management offered in Year 2 of the program and as the content of 3303EAS requires no pre-knowledge it has been deemed acceptable to offer this course to first year students.


2 November 2006


- For the commencing 2007 student cohort only, students undertaking either of the following major study areas will have the option of receiving a testamur title that acknowledges their environmental studies - - Ecotourism with minor study choices in Ecology, Marine Studies or

Environmental Monitoring, and - Environmental Science with minor study choices in Terrestrial Ecology or

Marine Ecology. - The testamur title will be Bachelor of Science (Environment). - Students taking these majors but not electing to take this degree name, or

undertaking any of the remaining major studies, will receive a Bachelor of Science.

- The Wildlife Management major will no longer be offered and students interested in this study area will be able to study the Bachelor of Science (Ecology and Conservation Biology) degree with a minor in Wildlife Management.

- Degree requirements for continuing students have been re-worked to simplify the statement of degree requirements but this has not altered the requirements.

- An Industrial Affiliates Program will be offered as a 20CP elective choice in Year 3 of the program where the structure permits this as an option. Students from other study areas may apply to negotiate an IAP placement with the Program Convenor.
