Description

The Undergraduate Curriculum Council met on September 24, 2025, to review and approve multiple curriculum proposals across Early Childhood Education and Geosciences. The council approved the previous meeting’s minutes before considering two new Early Childhood Education courses—ECED 3125, designed to strengthen lesson‑planning preparation, and ECED 4160, a STEM‑focused course aligned with updated NAEYC standards. Members also approved a non‑substantive curriculum revision to the Early Care & Education concentration, adding the new courses, incorporating special education and advocacy offerings, eliminating advisor‑approved electives in favor of free electives to reduce CPOS issues, and removing the minor requirement. In Geosciences, three new courses—GEOS 3200 (Introductory Soil Science), GEOS 4040 (Advanced Soil Science), and GEOS 4050 (Soil Profile Descriptions)—were approved to support a developing soils curriculum. The council also endorsed revisions to the Sport Management minor to improve flexibility and DegreeWorks clarity. Additional business included discussion of vacant committee seats, with encouragement for members to recommend candidates. The meeting concluded at approximately 3:45 p.m.
