CHANGES FOR DEGREE REQUIREMENTS IN
THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN ECOLOGY
IN THE COLLEGE OF NATURAL SCIENCES CHAPTER OF
THE UNDERGRADUATE CATALOG, 1998-2000
The changes set forth below are proposed for the College
of Natural Sciences in The Undergraduate Catalog, 2000-2002, of
The University of Texas at Austin.
On page 396, in the section "DEGREES," make
the following changes.
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN [CHILD] HUMAN
DEVELOPMENT AND FAMILY [RELATIONSHIPS] SCIENCES
This degree program is designed to provide both a knowledge
base and practical experience in working with children and families in
a variety of settings. The curriculum allows the student to gain knowledge
of developmental theory and research and of strategies for designing programs
for children and families.
Career opportunities are varied, depending on selection
of electives and supplemental experiences, and include teaching in a
private preschool program and positions in local, state, and federal
agencies,
demonstration programs concerned with children and families, and hospitals
with a children’s unit. The curriculum also provides a foundation
for graduate study in such fields as [child] human
development, family studies, psychology, social work, sociology, special
education, pediatrics, and early childhood education. Such advanced work
offers preparation for college teaching, research, and work in public
and private agencies serving children and families.
Students must choose either the human development or
the family sciences option.
PRESCIRBED WORK COMMON TO BOTH OPTIONS
|
1.
|
[English] Rhetoric and Composition

be upper-division. If the writing requirement is not fulfilled by
courses specified for the degree, the student must fulfill it either
with electives or with coursework taken in addition to the number
of hours required for the degree. Courses with a substantial writing
component are identified in the Course Schedule.

Ecology must be completed in residence at the University.
|
|
[10.] 11.
|
Enough additional coursework to make a total of 126
semester hours.
|
| |
|
ADDITIONAL PRESCRIBED WORK FOR EACH OPTION

chosen from Human Development and Family Sciences 316, 322, 354, 378L,
and topics of 378K.
|
Special Requirements
The student must fulfill the University-wide graduation
requirements given on pages 16-17 and the college requirements given on
page 379. He or she must also make a grade of at least C in each
course used to fulfill [requirement 8] requirements
8 and 12 of the prescribed work above (with the exception of [Child
Development] Human Development and Family Sciences 652F, which
is offered only on the pass/fail basis).
Order and Choice of Work
The student should consult the faculty adviser each semester
regarding order and choice of work.
Justification:
The primary reason for proposing these curriculum changes
was to integrate the Family Economics program and courses into the CDFR
curriculum. This will enrich the options in the Family Relationships track.
This is why the division increased the general education options to include
economics, added HE 312 as a
360
requirement for students in the family track, and added
Human Ecology 322, 347, and 354 to the list of courses from which students
in the Family Track must choose. The second reason for the revisions was
to give students in the Family Track more options since their required
courses are sometimes offered only once every two years. This led to increasing
numbers of students having their graduations delayed and having to petition
for course substitutions. The increase in faculty in the family area has
enabled us to offer a wider variety of family courses and will enable
students to select courses that better meet their academic and professional
goals.
On pages 408- 411, in section "Degrees," make
the following changes.
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN NUTRITION
OPTION I: NUTRITION
SEQUENCE A
Prescribed Work
No changes to requirements 1 through 4.
|
[5.] 6.
|
Chemistry 301, 302, 204, 610A, and 369[,
and a one-semester-hour organic chemistry laboratory]; Biology
[302 and 303; and Zoology 316K] 211, 416K, and
416L.
|
|
[6.] 5.
|
Three semester hours in architecture, art (including
art history, design, studio art, visual art studies), classics (including
classical civilization, Greek, Latin), fine arts, music (including
music, instruments, ensemble), philosophy (excluding courses in logic),
or theatre and dance.
|
No changes to requirements 7 through 11.
Justification: The one semester hour organic chemistry
lab is no longer available. The two-hour lab has a CH 610A and B requirement.
The current BIO 302 and 303 requirement has changed to the new numbers:
BIO 211, 212, and 214. The physiology requirement, ZOO 316K, will be offered
under a new biology number, BIO 416K, as a four-hour class. These changes
delete one hour of chemistry and add one hour of biology.
Numbers 5 and 6 should be switched to be consistent with
the other degrees offered.
SEQUENCE B
Prescribed Work
No changes to requirements 1 through 5.
|
6.
|
Chemistry 301, 302, 204, 610A, 610B, 210C, [369L,]
339K, and 339L; Biology [302 and 303; Zoology
316K] 211, 212, 214, 325, 365R, and 365S; and [three
semester hours of upper-division coursework in physiology,
genetics, immunology, or molecular biology] one of the
following laboratory courses: Chemistry 369L, Biology 325L, Biology
331L.
|
No changes to requirements 7 through 9.
OPTION II: COORDINATED PROGRAM IN DIETETICS
PRESCRIBED WORK
No changes to requirements 1 through 5.
361
|
6.
|
Chemistry 301, 302, 204, 610A, and 369[,
and a one-semester-hour organic chemistry laboratory];
Biology [302 and 303; and Zoology 316K] 211, 416K,
and 416L. |
No changes to requirements 7 through 11.
Justification:
Requirement for CH 369L has been altered to be 3 hours
of upper division laboratory from biochemistry, genetics, or molecular
biology. As lab courses become available, they can be added to the audit
list of permitted courses. This change is needed because students have
difficulty getting into CH 369L. BIO 302 and 303 have been renumbered/structured
to BIO 211, 212, and 214. Genetics, BIO 325, has been added as a requirement
because it is a prerequisite for upper division physiology (365R and S).
On pages 413-414, in the section "DEGREES," make
the following changes.
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN TEXTILES AND APPAREL
OPTION I: APPAREL DESIGN AND CONSERVATION
No changes in option description.
PRESCRIBED WORK
No changes in requirements 1 through 8c.
|
d.
|
Six or seven semester hours chosen from Textiles
and Apparel 212K, 212L, 316L, and 316Q. Students in the apparel
design specialization must complete Textiles and Apparel 212K and
212L.
|
|
e.
|
Twelve semester hours chosen from Textiles and Apparel
315K, 126 and 226L, 355C, 355D, 164K (Topic 1: Flat Pattern)
and 264L (Topic 1: Flat Pattern), 164K (Topic 2: Draping)
and 264L (Topic 2: Draping), 164K (Topic 3: Advanced Apparel
Design) and 264L (Topic 3: Advanced Apparel Design) [,
and 355]. Students in the apparel design specialization must
complete topics 1, 2, and 3 of Textiles and Apparel 164K and 264L.
Students in the conservation specialization must complete Textiles
and Apparel 355D.
|
|
f.
|
Six semester hours chosen from Textiles and Apparel
327, [355 (Topic: Computer-Aided Design),]
328, 355N, and 376.
|
No further changes in prescribed work; no changes in special
requirements or order and choice of work.
Justification:
8.d. Textiles and Apparel 212K and 212L are prerequisites
for required upper-division courses in the apparel design specification,
including Textiles and Apparel 164K and 264L: Advances Problems in Clothing
and Laboratory.
8.e. Requests have been submitted to establish the course
numbers TXA 355C: Computer-Aided Design for Apparel and 355D Textile Artifact
Management and Conservation. Both of these courses have been taught as
topics of TXA 355: Problems Course but have grown into regularly scheduled
courses. The changes here clarify these topics as choices in the requirement
as opposed to the general TXA 355: Problems Course.
TXA 355D: Textile Artifact Management and Conservation
is to be required for majors in the conservation sequence because the
content of this course is directly relevant to the subject matter of the
conservation sequence.
8.f. This course is listed among the choices in item 8e
and is removed to avoid redundancy.
362
OPTION II: RETAIL MERCHANDISING
No changes in option description.
PRESCRIBED WORK
No changes in requirements 1 through 8.
|
X.
|
No fewer than forty-six but no more than forty-eight
semester hours in the Department of Human Ecology, including [Human
Ecology] Human Development and Family Sciences
322 and 361; Textiles and Apparel 319; Textiles and Apparel 205, 105L,
212K, 212L, 315K, either 316L or 316Q, 352M, 355P, 260L, 260M, and
376; nine semester hours chosen from Textiles and Apparel 325L, 325M,
126 and 226L, 327, 328, 355D, 355K, 355N, and 164K and 264L;
and three semester hours chosen from courses in [child development,
family relationships,] food science, food systems management,
human development and family sciences, or nutrition. Eighteen
of these semester hours must be completed in residence at the University. |
No changes in requirements 10 and 11, special requirements,
or order and choice of work.
Justification:
TXA 355D is added as another option for this degree's
requirement. This course was offered previously as TXA 355: Problems in
Conservation.
