BA/BS IMPLEMENTATION FORM

WEBER STATE UNIVERSITY

Target Implementation Date – Summer 2011

Target Ad Hoc Committee Submission Deadline – November 1, 2010

SUBMISSION DATE: 9/23/10

COLLEGE: Dumke College of Health Professions

DEPARTMENT: Dental Hygiene

PROGRAM TITLE: Dental Hygiene Program

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

The dental hygiene profession focuses on direct patient care in the health care setting, specifically, providing dental hygiene services. The profession addresses the oral health care needs of the individual and community, plans and implements intervention therapies and evaluates the outcomes of the efforts with the goal of optimum oral health. The dental hygiene profession needs practitioners who have been instructed in the psychosocial, biophysical and technical elements of dental hygiene practice. These practitioners should be able to expand current parameters of knowledge, as well as to apply existing behavior and basic science concepts to specific problems. The dental hygienists must be capable of making decisions, knowledge of public affairs, and motivated to become life-long learners. They are individuals who behavior is guided by an internalized code of ethics.

The Weber State University Dental Hygiene Program is accredited by the American Dental Association Joint Commission on Dental Accreditation. The WSU Dental Hygiene Program was accredited at its earliest opportunity following its inception and has remained so to date.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

Program Prerequisite: A total of 44 hours of dental science course work is required for the Associate of Science degree. Additionally, 35 hours of prerequisites are necessary. Students must also complete nine additional hours to meet WSU requirements for the AS degree, totaling a credit hour requirement of a minimum of 88 hours.

Course requirements for the BS degree are taken in addition to the courses required for an Associate Degree in Dental Hygiene. A total of seven additional DENT credit hours are required along with an upper division Research and Statistics course. Each student must also select upper division coursework from a menu of elective courses to bring the total of upper division hours to 40 credit hours.

Bachelor of Arts, BA – is not an appropriate degree with the Dental Hygiene major.

Bachelor of Science, BS – Majors leading to a BS degree will place substantial emphasis on experimental, analytical, or statistical methods in required lower and upper division coursework within the major program of study leading to a BS degree. This coursework must emphasize analysis of data, application of evidence based investigation, formulation and testing of predictive models through fieldwork or laboratory inquiry, or must address quantitative methods at a level that requires quantitative literacy. Majors leading to a BS degree will require a minimum of twelve semester hours of coursework meeting these requirements, at least half of which must be at the upper-division level. By defining this coursework as part of the major, it is expected that the coursework will specifically complement and strengthen the major field of study and thus be of greater benefit to the student pursuing a BS degree. Courses satisfying general education requirements can also be chosen to satisfy major requirements.

In implementing these changes, each department should review its major programs and determine, based on the above criteria and the more common degree awarded in the major, which degree is appropriate for each major.

PROPOSED DEGREE

Check the degree(s) to be associated with the major program. (Note that if substantive program changes are required, they must be approved by the University Curriculum Committee. See Sections 5 and 6 of the University Curriculum Policy and Procedures Manual, http://faculty.weber.edu/senate/CGE%20PPM/index.htm):

______ Bachelor of Arts Degree (BA)

___X__ Bachelor of Science Degree (BS)

Submit the original to the Faculty Senate Office, MC 1033, and an electronic copy to kbrown4 @weber.edu

JUSTIFICATION:

Choose one of the following paths, then in the space below explain your choice and provide any supporting materials such as evidence of common degree in major or existing coursework satisfying path requirements.

__X___ A) There is a common degree awarded in the major. The department proposes that the common degree be awarded.

· Students majoring in programs that traditionally lead to BA degrees must complete twelve semester-hours of coursework in language and language arts. Appropriate required or elective courses in the major may be used to satisfy the language arts requirement.

· Because the BS degree traditionally emphasizes science and math, majors for which the BS is the common degree will be recognized as fulfilling the BS requirements without explicitly identifying the twelve semester-hours of BS-related coursework.

______ B) The department wishes to award a BA related to a major that more commonly receives a BS. Appropriate required or elective courses in the major may be used to satisfy the language arts requirement.

______ C) The department wishes to award a BS related to a major that more commonly receives a BA and coursework fitting the BS requirements can be identified in the current major requirements. The department proposes that the BS degree be awarded and identifies the coursework below.

______ D) The department wishes to award a BS related to a major that more commonly receives a BA and coursework fitting the BS requirements cannot be identified in the current major requirements. The department proposes ways to include coursework, either from within or outside the department that will address the BS coursework requirements, and proposes the corresponding changes in the major requirements. These will likely be substantive program changes that require University Curriculum Committee approval.

______ E) The department wishes to offer a major leading to a BA and a similar major leading to a BS. Each degree track will be designed to emphasize the corresponding degree requirements and allows for fulfillment of the degree requirements without introducing a significant credit-hour difference between the tracks.

Explanation and Supporting Materials (REQUIRED):

There are 323 Dental Hygiene Programs that are accredited by the American Dental Association Joint Commission on Dental Accreditation in the United States. A review of the annually updated information from the American Dental Hygienist’s’ Association revealed that the programs that offered the Baccalaureate degree, all programs award a Bachelor of Science degree to their majors. Dental Hygiene is a science-based educational program with its focus on science pre-requisite courses, dental science courses within the program.

Additionally, the curriculum content in this major is more science-based with these courses: HTHS 1110 Biomedical Core, HTHS 1111 Biomedical Core, HTHS 2230 Intro to Pathophysiology, and; includes other courses that require quantitative literacy skills: upper division Research and Statistic course (numbered 3000 or above, minimum of 3 credit hours), DENT 4530 Principles and Application of Evidence-based Dental Hygiene Practice (2) and DENT SI4780 Baccalaureate Thesis (3).

PROGRAM TITLE: Bachelor’s Degree-BS in CLS

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

~~Clinical Laboratory Scientists (CLS) or~~ Medical Laboratory Scientists (MLS) perform laboratory testing vital to the detection, differential diagnosis, treatment, and study of disease and health maintenance.

The Weber State University programs utilize a career ladder concept in curriculum planning and educational preparation. The campus based four-year program offers a BS in an integrated setting where students complete their degree in a structure that does not require extended formalized external clinical instruction.

The online-program offers certified Medical Laboratory Technicians (MLT) an opportunity to complete a bachelor’s degree within their own clinical setting utilizing varied instructional learning approaches including technology assisted learning and customized preceptor ships.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

Bachelor of Arts, BA – Majors leading to a BA degree will require twelve semester-hours of foreign language, consistent with the current BA language requirement or six semester-hours of foreign language with further coursework equaling six semester-hours in the language arts beyond the composition requirement in the general education core. Language arts coursework may include literature, creative writing, rhetoric, music composition, etc. The options for fulfilling the current BA language requirement would continue to apply.

Submit the original to the Faculty Senate Office, MC 1033, and an electronic copy to kbrown4 @weber.edu

JUSTIFICATION:

_X___ A) There is a common degree awarded in the major. The department proposes that the common degree be awarded.

Explanation and Supporting Materials (REQUIRED):

Weber State University, Dumke College of Health Professions, School of Nursing has always offered a Baccalaureate of Science Degree in Nursing. Across the United States colleges and universities with nursing programs generally offer them as BS degrees because of the heavy emphasis in science and applied sciences. Colleges and universities who offer a BA nursing have a general classification as liberal arts focused institutions of higher education and many of these are privately funded. A foreign language is not a consistent requirement in the nursing programs that offer a BA degree.

As a program, we recognize the benefit that a foreign language can offer our students in the various clinical areas where they practice but do not find it a feasible option for a degree at this time.

DEPARTMENT: Respiratory Therapy

PROGRAM TITLE: Baccalaureate Respiratory Therapist

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

Respiratory Therapy is an art and a science concerned with promoting and restoring heart/lung health, rehabilitation, and to render life support to the dying. Respiratory therapists provide cardiopulmonary care throughout the lifespan. They assess, diagnose, manage, and evaluate individual responses through an analysis of patient clinical data and in evidence-based approaches to actual or potential health problems within a caring context. A holistic respiratory therapy perspective is enhanced by recognizing environmental factors that influence human health. Licensed Respiratory Care Practitioners (RCP’s) utilize models founded in science in the evaluation of best-practice models and skilled communication to facilitate all aspects of respiratory care practice. They are responsible and accountable for maintaining a safe and effective workspace within their particular scope of medical practice.

Respiratory Therapy education is considered a lifelong process which promotes professional development of knowledge, skills, and personal values. The process empowers learners to reach their full personal potential. Respiratory therapy education is based upon knowledge derived from liberal arts, respiratory therapy science, and social, biological, and physical sciences to understand cardiopulmonary processes. Respiratory therapy education is concerned with helping individuals to understand and utilize respiratory therapy processes and to incorporate standards of professional practice. Through a process of self realization, adults assimilate and synthesize knowledge, cultivate critical thinking abilities, become adept with technical and practical bedside skills, develop respiratory therapy strategies based on evidence-based science (best practices models), evolving personal potential, and to establish values directed toward personal and program goals.

The currently stated program goals and departmental objectives include the following:

1) Educate competent respiratory care practitioners (RCP’s) for the workforce.

2) Ensure credentialing success on national Board examinations.

3) Demonstrate professionalism by our personal interactions.

These will likely be substantive program changes that require University Curriculum Committee approval.

Explanation and Supporting Materials (REQUIRED):

Respiratory Therapy proposes a BS degree designation with over 69 cr. hrs. pertaining to anatomy/physiology of the cardiopulmonary system, disease pathology, patient assessment of clinical and laboratory data, and review of mechanical ventilation information to asses and evaluate clinical judgment for critically ill patients at the bedside. Formulated from clinical practice models common in medicine, it is an intensive program designed from evidence-based processes to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of health problems and diseases and abnormalities of the cardiopulmonary system. Significant experiences are gained from clinical evidence, x-ray interpretation, patient rotations, and adjunctive health care experiences to facilitate the development and continuing practice of skills to work within this physically and mentally demanding field. Students are immersed in coursework that ensures a critical assessment of patient data, hemodynamics, evidence-based practices, and research methods that propose updates to clinical practices that enable students to prepare for national Board examinations.
