Course description (exactly as it will appear in the catalog, including prerequisites):
This course will explore
various types of interviews conducted in work and personal situations:
Recruiting, Performance Appraisals, Informational, Survey, Persuasion,
Counseling, and Health Care. While core communication skills are important
across types of interviews, interviewing strategies can differ greatly based on
different contexts, specific situations, and personalities of interviewers and
interviewees.
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.)
This course has been taught at experimental undergraduate and graduate levels. It was offered in response to student requests for a course that will enhance their professional careers in which they hire and supervise employees, conduct workplace research, and persuade and coach others. In their personal lives, students also find themselves in health interview situations. Students will hear the experiences of community professionals who successfully practice interviewing strategies in their jobs. Drawing upon communication and psychology theories, students will use case studies, exercises, and videotaped roleplays to help them apply what they have learned.

Please forward letters (email communication is sufficient) from all departments that you have identified above stating their support or opposition to the proposed course.
There are no graduate level courses that address interviewing skills, based on communication and psychology theory.
4. Is this course required for certification/accreditation of a program?
no
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.).
