	Subcommittee chair responsible for new course approval, review and assessment	Criteria for Approval	Core Learning Objectives
ITP	AU or College approval	Common Learning objectives for all ITP courses: Ethics: Understand the ethical framework applicable to the discipline. Understand the importance of ethics to the profession. Be able to recognize ethical issues and propose ethical responses to ethical problems. Communication: Understand the standards of professional communication used within the profession. Be able communicate (understand, and respond) in a discipline specific fashion Professionalism: Understand the norms of profession behavior within the discipline. Be able to discuss and understand how professional conduct reflects on and supports the discipline.	LO3 LO4
S	Steffenson; Multidisciplinary LCHS-Stuart committee approval	Acquaints students with the scientific study of individual and group behavior Introduces students to fundamental concepts, theory or methods from one or more of the social/behavioral sciences (e.g., anthropology, economics, sociology, political science or psychology). Enables students to think critically about human behavior and society to offer meaningful explanations of social and individual behavior. Frames social science problems broadly in a way that is accessible to the general population (i.e., not exclusively for majors within a specific discipline)	LO1 Methods courses -LO2 Most classes LO3 Almost all S classes are C classes –LO4
H	Pulliam Single department approval	They are to be writing intensive, as we are the only department that teaches writing. That means assigning several papers through the course and giving students feedback and opportunity to rewrite. They fit into the basic schema of humanities: literature, philosophy, history, communications/information, art and architectural history.	LO1 Many COM classes LO2 Many PHIL classes LO3 LO4
C	Pulliam C Director Approval Committee review	Students must receive instruction in, or modeling of, discipline-specific discourse, written and/or spoken. They must have the opportunity to put their skill/s into practice. They must get feedback on their efforts. They must have the opportunity to incorporate feedback into subsequent efforts.	LO4
N	Menhart; COS committee approval	Acquaints students with empirical and/or theoretical understanding of the natural world that is based upon observation and the scientific method Enables students to think critically about the natural world, to offer meaningful explanations of natural phenomena, and develop and test hypotheses about natural phenomena Communicates natural science to the general population (i.e., not those educated in natural science) in a way that is accessible to them.	LO2 N classes that are C classes LO4
CS	Bauer CS approval	Students should be able to: - use computation to represent problems (i.e. abstraction) and implement solutions using an appropriate programming environment. - use computation to demonstrate algorithmic thinking. - utilize computational applications for modeling, simulation or visualization. - explain the limitations, assumptions, and trade-offs inherent in computing models. - apply a software development process (specification/requirements, design, programming/documentation, debugging/testing).	LO2
Math	Weening	any MATH course, or a course which primarily teaches mathematics, but in the context of another discipline.	LO2
IPRO	Alexis	Common Learning Objectives: Teamwork: How to be an effective member of an interdisciplinary team, adding expertise of the student’s discipline and working on topics broader than any one major field. Communication: How to effectively communicate the technical and nontechnical aspects of a project to key stakeholders. Problem Solving. Using logically correct reasoning. How to generate a hypothesis using inductive logic (leveraging design methods), and then prove/disprove it using deductive logic (leveraging prototyping and analytical thinking). Project management: How to deliver a desired, planned outcome when faced with time and resource constraints. Ethics: How to act ethically when conducting research, working in teams, and creating solutions.	LO3 LO4
