Justification for the new course or for changes to an existing course. (Note: Justification should emphasize academic rationale for the change or new course. This is particularly important for courses requesting upper-division status.)
MLS 1114 is an introductory MLS course. With the advances in medical laboratory technology and instrumentation, the need for 2 laboratory sections per week is no longer necessary for students to reach minimum competencies. Reducing the lab time down to 1 lab per week is justifiable at this time.

Comment on any subject overlap between this course and topics generally taught by other departments, even if no similar courses are currently offered by the other departments. Explain any effects that this proposal will have on program requirements or enrollments in other department. Please forward letters (email communication is sufficient) from all departments that you have identified above stating their support or opposition to the proposed course.
4. Is this course required for certification/accreditation of a program?
yes
If so, a statement to that effect should appear in the justification and supporting documents should accompany this form.
5. For course proposals, e-mail a syllabus to Faculty Senate which should be sufficiently detailed that the committees can determine that the course is at the appropriate level and matches the description. There should be an indication of the amount and type of outside activity required in the course (projects, research papers, homework, etc.).
