Total 60 Total 60 Rationale: The Digital Art curriculum has not been fully updated in over a decade. In that time, both the software and hardware used professionally in all design fields has changed markedly. This program revision will take into account course revisions to all of the digital classes. This will bring the program in line with current industry expectations, with an eye to future developments. These program changes will also align the degree more closely with local 4-year digital degree programs for transfer. Taken together, these changes will increase the relevance and desirability of the degree with the goal of continuing to expand our enrollment. AIII. 2.

Students are strongly advised to select Free Electives that will transfer to Queens College as a liberal arts co-major or minor.

From: To: 1A grade of B is required in one course in each of the NYS Core Areas (English, Social Studies, Math, and Physical Science); no grade lower than a C is acceptable in the program and is not transferable.

1A grade of B is required in one course in each of the NYS Core Areas (English, Social Studies [Social Sciences and History], Math, and Physical Science); no grade lower than a C is acceptable in the program and is not transferable.

From: To: 8 Minimum cumulative GPA of 2.75 is required to graduate from the program.

7 Minimum cumulative GPA of 2.75 is required to graduate from the program.

Rationale: In brief the proposed changes to the Common Core Requirements bring our degree requirements into greater consistency with course requirements at Queens College. Regarding changes to 1B, 1C, 2B and 2A-E, given the specific courses needed for students to transfer to Queens College, they must be designated as “Required” rather than “Recommended” in the curriculum. Those courses are PH-101, MA-119 or 336, HIST-127 and 128, GE-101 or BI-140. In addition, the changes to the Requirements for the Major entail moving PH101, a stand-alone requirement, out of Required Core 1C and into the Major course group. Changes to the ENGL requirement in the Major course group will provide more options for students and thereby remove a potential obstacle to degree completion created by limited offerings of some the currently listed courses. Finally, changes to the Electives gives students more options thereby removing a potential obstacle to degree completion. AIII. 4. The following revision is proposed to the A.A.S.

Rationale: Students who enroll in BI-961 (Phlebotomy Practice) do not spend more than 45 hours at the internship site completing required number of venipunctures, and therefore this should be a 1-credit internship course, as opposed to a 2-credit course. Students who are interested in pursuing Medical Assistant careers should have a required Medical Assisting internship experience as well, so we would like to replace 1 credit of BI-961 with 1 credit of BI-950 (Field Experience in Medical Assisting), such that one internship option for MA students is BI-961 (1 credit), HE-110 (1 credit), and BI-950 (1 credit).

An examination of the role of the phlebotomist as a vital member of the health care team. The theory and practice of the techniques for successfully obtaining blood specimens will be covered in lecture and laboratory sessions. The course includes one field trip to a clinical facility.

Rationale: The assigned credit number previously did not match the hours, so we are adjusting the hours of the course to match the credits and provide sufficient instruction of the material. Since the course is 1 credit, we are allotting 0.5 credits to lecture (0.5 hours) and 0.5 credits to lab (1.5 hours). Before, the course only ran for 7 weeks, but now it will run over the course of the entire semester. AV.2.

Prerequisite: BI-451, and permission of the instructor prior to registration.

Corequisite: None Corequisite: None Phlebotomy practice in a cooperating hospital structured to provide the student with all the competencies required by national professional certification agencies. Proof of liability insurance may be required. All internships must be completed before graduation to be included in the student’s degree certification. Enrollment limited. Students will receive a Pass/Fail grade.

Phlebotomy practice in a cooperating hospital structured to provide the student with all the competencies required by national professional certification agencies. Proof of liability insurance may be required. All internships must be completed before graduation to be included in the student’s degree certification. Enrollment limited. Students will receive a Pass/Fail grade.

Rationale: The National Healthcareer Association (NHA) mandates that students complete 30 venipunctures during their Phlebotomy internship experience in order to be eligible for the Certification Phlebotomy Technician exam. Generally speaking, the students complete this in 30-40 hours, thereby making the 90-hour requirement unnecessary. Instead, we would like to require students to complete a capstone Medical Assisting internship for the other 45 hours.

AV.3. CRIM-205 Criminology FROM TO CRIM-205 CRIM-205 Criminology Criminology 3 hours, 3 credits 3 hours, 3 credits Prerequisite: CRIM-101 and CRIM-106 Prerequisite: CRIM-101 and CRIM-106 for Criminal Justice

Degree Program students. SOCY-101 for students who are not in the Criminal Justice Degree Program.

Corequisite: None Corequisite: None An introduction to the study of crime. Focuses on theories and research concerning the nature, causes, treatment and prevention of crime. This course will satisfy the Social Sciences elective requirement for all QCC degree programs.

An introduction to the study of crime. Focuses on theories and research concerning the nature, causes, treatment and prevention of crime. This course will satisfy the Social Sciences elective requirement for all QCC degree programs.

Rationale: At most institutions, including CUNY colleges, Criminology is taught as a Sociology course with a pre-requisite of Introductory Sociology (see attachment, “Criminology Pre-requisites at CUNY”). Prior to the 2019 revisions to the Criminal Justice Degree Program (CJ1) Criminology was a 100-level course, CRIM102, with a remedial reading pre-requisite, BE122 or 226 or satisfactory score on the CUNY ACT Placement Test. The revision made Criminology a 200-level course, CRIM205, with pre-requisites of CRIM101 and CRIM106. Before it was converted to CRIM205 the course was populated not just by Criminal Justice students, but also by students in other majors, such as Sociology, Psychology and American Studies. In addition, CRIM205 (and the former CRIM102) satisfies the Social Sciences elective requirement in all QCC degree programs, as stated in the course description in the QCC Catalog. However, the addition of the two CJ1-specific pre-requisites, although intended to benefit the CJ1 students, has become an obstacle preventing non-CJ1 students access to the course. Given that a majority of colleges (including John Jay College of Criminal Justice) that offer Criminology have an Introductory Sociology pre-requisite, and given that many students in majors other than Criminal Justice would benefit by the opportunity to take Criminology, the proposed revision of the pre-requisites is justified. AV.4. ARTS-191 Introduction to Video Art FROM TO ARTS-191 ARTS-191

Focus will be placed upon developing a critical eye for professional computer art/graphics and design. All relevant software packages will be reviewed through classroom exercises.

This course will introduce students to the processes, concepts, and techniques of digital animation. A variety of software packages and tools will be covered, with an emphasis on creating character animation with dynamic motion, acting, and timing. Projects will explore the principles of animation across a variety of digital media while developing narratives from storyboards to final execution. Critical analysis, revision, and portfolio building will be stressed.

Rationale: Update the course title and description to more accurately reflect currently used terms in industry and academia. Learning the processes, concepts, and techniques of character animation are now essential in almost all design fields. Combined with design skills from other required Digital Art & Design courses, this course will give students a solid fundamental skill set with which they can further pursue digital video art, computer animation, or visual effects. AV.6. ARTS-290 Advertising Design and Layout FROM TO ARTS-290 ARTS-290 Advertising Design and Layout Digital Design I 4 studio hours, 3 credits 4 studio hours, 3 credits

Prerequisite: None Prerequisite: None Corequisite: ARTS-121 Corequisite: ARTS-121 Basic advertising art techniques; practical problems related to effective design advertising, including layout and typography. Introduction to computer graphics and desktop publishing.

Introduction to digital design foundations and visual communication. The class will cover basic design, layout, color, and typography principles through vector-based projects.

Rationale: The Digital Art and Design curricula and course titles/descriptions have not been changed in 15 years. They need to be updated to clarify course content to both students and senior/transfer colleges and reflect the changes in technology and digital software. This course is currently a foundational course for the degree and should reflect that in its title and description. The old description needs to be clarified and focused. The content remains unchanged, but the new description clearly states the vector-based focus of the class. The design strategies, software skills, and vocabulary learned in this class is built upon in ARTS 292 and ARTS 293. AV.7. ARTS-291 Electronic Imaging FROM TO ARTS-291 ARTS-291 Electronic Imaging Digital Imaging 4 studio hours, 3 credits 4 studio hours, 3 credits Prerequisite: None Prerequisite: None Corequisite: ARTS-121 Corequisite: ARTS-121

Methods of creating and manipulating the digital photographic image. Introduction to Adobe Photoshop through industry-standard techniques.

Rationale: The Digital Art and Design curricula and course titles/descriptions have not been changed in 15 years. Many courses need to be updated to clarify course content to both students and senior/transfer colleges and reflect the changes in technology and digital software. ARTS 291 specific: “Electronic” is an outdated term for digital course content. The course content remains the same, but the description changes reflect the technological advances (better, cheaper digital cameras, phones) that allow students to be much more capable of creating the content/images to manipulate in the software, than they were a decade ago. AV.8. ARTS-292 Design for Desktop Publishing FROM TO ARTS-292 ARTS-292 Design for Desktop Publishing Digital Design II 4 studio hours, 3 credits 4 studio hours, 3 credits

Prerequisite: ARTS-290 Prerequisite: ARTS-290 Corequisite: None Corequisite: None In this project-oriented course, students receive further instruction in production techniques and design concepts with an emphasis on creating an advertising design and layout entirely on a computer. The student also learns to incorporate photography and text into a publishable format.

In this project-oriented course, students build upon principles and skills learned in Digital Design I to solve increasingly complex design problems with concept-driven solutions. Critical analysis, revision, and portfolio building are stressed.

Rationale: The Digital Art and Design curricula and course titles/descriptions have not been changed in 15 years. Many courses need to be updated to clarify course content to both students and senior/transfer colleges and reflect the changes in technology and digital software. ARTS 292 specific changes: ”Design for Desktop Publishing” is a very outdated terminology and is not reflected in other NYC digital programs. To better reflect the current content of the class, which builds upon the design basics and vector focus of ARTS290,

ARTS292 will now more accurately be termed an advanced design class. The projects in this class are currently tailored to serve as elements in their design portfolio and the description should more accurately reflect that content. While the current description is not incorrect, the new description emphasizes the direct relationship to ARTS290 and is written in a clearer way to stress the professional and portfolio building aspects of the class. AV.9. ARTS-293 Design for Motion Graphics FROM TO ARTS-293 ARTS-293 Design for Motion Graphics Design for Motion Graphics 4 studio hours, 3 credits 4 studio hours, 3 credits Prerequisite: ARTS-290 Prerequisite: ARTS-290 Corequisite: None Corequisite: None Study of motion graphics techniques and principles of motion graphics including point of view, camera movement, editing, composting, audio production, and titling. Introduction to digital production methods for video, audio, and animation.

This course will introduce students to the processes, concepts and techniques of motion graphics. Two dimensional graphic design concepts will be animated with projects exploring abstraction, titling, information design, UX/UI and dynamic typography. Critical analysis, revision and portfolio building are stressed.

Rationale: Update the language on the descriptions to more currently used terms in industry and academia. Learning the fundamental processes, concepts, and skills for Motion Graphics are now essential in almost all design fields. This would take digital design skills learned in ARTS 290 and ARTS 292 and apply them in motion and time. To clarify the difference between ARTS 191 and ARTS 293, both are essential for students studying design. AV.10.
