Our next meeting will be Tuesday, October 1, 2013 from 10:30-11:45 a.m. in THC 305.  Please review the agenda below and the cited materials in advance of the meeting.

Approval of minutes from the September 17, 2013 meeting.

Consent Agenda:

Proposed changes on Special Program Opportunities – Internships.
The current catalog language about internships under the A&S section can be found here.  


Internships provide students with supervised opportunities to understand by direct experience how skills and theories learned in the classroom are applied in business, industry, community agencies, and government. Each internship must include an academic base, such as an appropriate reading list or other resources, which demonstrates or stresses the interrelatedness of the academic background with the selected workplace.


Any academic department may offer an individual internship under the following general description: 388 Individual Internship. Application of academic skills and theories in a selected work environment, plus related academic work supervised by a member of the faculty. Pass/fail grading may be designated by a department for any or all enrollments. May be repeated; however, no more than 1.5 units in the same department may be counted toward the total number of units required for a degree. Prerequisite: Permission of department concerned. .25-1.5 units. Note: No more than 3.5 units of internship of any kind may count toward the total number of units required for a degree. Student Teaching and Theatre Arts Practica are not included in this policy.


Individual departments may have varying limitations on internships. They may be only available to majors and/or minors in the department. Internships usually are limited to junior or senior students who must have the prior approval of the department concerned.


Further information is available from the chair or coordinator of the appropriate department or program.

Motion: Approve 388 course as available for 0 to 1.5 units (it is currently only approved for .25 to 1.5 units).
