Academic Programs: Credit Hours
|
In converting academic programs including major, minor, and certificate programs from the quarter to a semester calendar, departments, colleges, and schools are not to exceed the proportion of semester credit hour
requirements that exist under the quarter credit hour requirements.
|
|
Transfer Assurance Guide (TAG) Courses and Transfer Module Courses
|
To be in compliance with statewide curriculum requirements, the first task in converting from quarters to semesters is that departments, colleges, and schools are to identify TAG and Transfer Module Courses and create an equivalent inventory for approval by the Ohio Board of Regents (OBR).
|
* Possible Semester Calendar General Education Courses and Credit Hours
Based on the WSU Faculty approved General Education Task Force report dated 20 March 1998, "one way it can be converted to semesters" is to change all courses except Area V Natural Science from four to three credit hours, reduce Additional Courses From Areas II, III, and IV from 2 courses to 1 course, and collapse the Area V requirement of three
quarters of science courses into two semesters of science courses.
** Course Numbering System Explanation:
0-999 Developmental precollege-level courses.
1000-4999 Lower division courses intended for undergraduate credit only. The first digit indicates the general level of the course: 1 for a first-year course, 2 for a second-year course, 3 for a third-year course, 4 for a fourth-year course. Courses in this category that are acceptable for graduate credit carry alternative numbers in which the first digit only is changed to a 5 or a 6 according to the definitions below.
5000-5999 Courses that carry graduate credit only in a major field different from that of the department offering the course. Most such courses will be alternate designations of courses normally numbered 300-499.
6000-6999 Courses that carry graduate credit in any major field and have alternate designations in which the first digit is a three or four when taken for undergraduate credit. 7000-9999 Courses intended for graduate credit only.
