Impact:
No
impact on the staffing or the resources of the Education Department. Students will have a choice between PSYC 101
and 102, so enrollments could be evened out between the two courses.
Rationale:
The Education department routinely accepts PSYC 102
as a substitute for the PSYC 101
requirement. The topics in
PSYC 101 and 102 apply equally to licensure standards. In addition, transfer
students often receive credit for General Psychology, which is equated to PSYC
102. Officially adding the option of PSYC 101 or 102 to the catalog will
eliminate the need for students to request waivers and substitutions.
