Frequently Asked Questions

• What's the approval process for the program proposals?
  • Curricular Review Process [pdf]: Reviewed and approved by 课程 and Research Committee.
• What's the difference between a BA/BS or MA/MS?
  • 看到 WASC Degree Definitions Guide [pdf]. For BA/BS degrees, please also see University Policy F88-9 [pdf].
• What is the difference between a 浓度 and a 专业化 or track or emphases?

  • 的 CSU does not define 浓度s, tracks, emphases, or 专业化s differently. 

    At 菠菜网lol正规平台, only 浓度s are listed on the student's diploma and are allowed a stand-al一个 page in the Academic 目录. A program may add a track, emphasis, or 专业化 to their program by simply submitting a minor program revision (unless a major program revision applies) as long as the curriculum is in compliance with EO 1071.

• What is EO 1071 and how does this affect my proposals for 浓度s or tracks/emphases/专业化s?
  • In order to be in compliance with Executive Order (EO) 1071 and University Policy S14-9 [pdf]，子程序(e.g. 浓度, 专业化, track, emphasis) within degree program must constitute represent less than 50 percent of the major requirements within a degree program, which could include preparation for the major, 核心课程, and major requirements, including culminating experience units (project, portfolio, or 299).
• How do I develop a Comprehensive Assessment Plan?

  • 的 Asssessment Step-By-Step Process for Program Assessment provides a detailed overview to develop a comprehensive assessment plan.

• How do I develop Program Learning Outcomes and a 课程 Matrix Map?
  • 的 Program Learning Outcomes page provides a detailed overview on how to develop your PLOs and 课程 Matrix Map. PLOs articulate the learning that should be achieved by the graduates of a program. PLOs should be mapped to the University Learning Goals (ULGs) per University Policy S17-2. 
• How are programs reported? What are CIP and CSU Degree codes?
  • For more information about how programs are reported at the CSU system-wide, state, and federal levels, view the 报告规范 section.
• Why would my degree proposal require a WSCUC 实质性的改变?
  • WSCUC is 菠菜网lol正规平台's regional accreditor. Gaining reaccreditation allows the university to provide Federal Financial Aid for our students and get access to federal dollars. WSCUC has a process for review proposals for universities that are substantially different from the university's regular offerings. Since 菠菜网lol正规平台 has a number of online programs, a 实质性的改变 Review is no longer triggered if 菠菜网lol正规平台 proposes new online programs. 最近, 菠菜网lol正规平台 received approval for the Occupational 的rapy Doctoral program (effective Spring 2023). 
• What's a self-funded or "Special Session" program?
  • Self-funded or "Special Session" program means that state dollars are not used to pay the cost of instruction or cost to run the program. Special Session programs are operated with support from the College of Professional and Global 教育's 学术项目(失效链接) 团队评审 Special Session Program FAQ page for more information.
