DATE: August 31, 2018 (Revised April 24, 2019; July 15, 2019; August 27, 2019)

CC: Monica Lounsbery, Ph.D. Dean of College of Health and Human Services

Dr. Grace Reynolds-Fisher, D.P.A. Associate Dean of College of Health and Human Services

Consumer Affairs is an undergraduate option in the Department of Family and Consumer Sciences. Our program is one of the leading programs in the field. It offers an interdisciplinary study of the financial, legislative, legal, international, psychological, sociological, and cultural factors involved in consumerism. Areas covered in the program include consumer advocacy and protection, consumer law and legislation, consumers in the global marketplace, consumer behavior, financial planning and counseling, crimes against consumers, global and urban housing, consumers and technology, and product safety. In addition, course work in the program can be easily complemented by minors in several areas including business, economics, marketing, and criminal justice.

This memo is our proposal relevant to the BA in Family and Consumer Sciences: Consumer Affairs. Specifically, we are requesting that this degree be elevated to a BA in Consumer Affairs, per the “Elevating Options in Concentrations to a Full Degree Program Template” provided by the CSU Chancellor’s Office.

Existing Degree Designation Proposed Degree DesignationBachelor of Arts in Family and Consumer Sciences: Consumer Affairs

Bachelor of Arts in Consumer Affairs

1. Program type –

a. State Support c. Option ElevationWe are proposing to elevate the degree BA in Family and Consumer Sciences: Consumer Affairs to the degree of BA in Consumer Affairs. This proposal is being made in response to Executive Order 1071 issued by the Chancellor’s Office.d. Delivery Format: Fully face-to-face and hybrid.

1

2. Program Identification – The existing program is the FCS Bachelor of Arts Degree in Consumer Affairs (CSULB Program Code FCS_BA03)

a. Campus – California State University, Long Beachb. Degree Designation – The current Bachelor of Arts Degree in Family and Consumer

Sciences, Option in Consumer Affairs would elevate to the Bachelor of Arts in Consumer Affairs.

c. Intended Implementation – Fall 2021d. Total Number of Units Required for Graduation. This includes all requirements (and

campus specific graduation requirements), not just major requirements – The total number of units for this degree is 120 units.

e. Department Name – Family and Consumer Sciencesf. Responsible Individuals – The following individuals are responsible for the degree

elevation process:

Peter G. Kreysa, Ph.D. Associate Professor and Program Director

Soo Hyun Cho, Ph.D. Assistant Professor

g. WASC Substantive Change – As defined by federal regulations and in the Handbook of Accreditation, a substantive change at an accredited or candidate institution is a change that may significantly affect an institution's quality, objectives, scope, or control.

Please see attached determination from the WSCUC Substantive change review.

h. Proposed Classification of Instructional Programs and CSU Degree Program Code – Campuses are invited to suggest one CSU degree program code and one corresponding CIP code. The following appropriate codes are suggested:

CSU Code 13011 CIP Code for the elevated degree is Consumer Services and Advocacy 19.0101

Description: A program that focuses on providing end-use advice and representational services to individuals and groups within a variety of settings, and the analytical and research techniques needed to protect consumers from unsafe, unreliable, and/or unhealthy products and services. Includes instruction in consumer advocacy, family management systems, ecological impacts of consumption practices, and analyzing and testing product quality and safety.

i. Teach-Out Plan – The new elevated stand-along degree will mimic the existing specialization exactly as it exists today. If a student needs to complete courses from the old specialization, there will be identical courses available in the new program. We propose that once the degree elevation is approved, all existing, continuing, and future students will graduate with the new degree and designation. Thus, no teach-out is necessary.

j. Discontinuation Evidence – The BA Degree in Consumer Affairs will become its own stand-alone degree program in the Department of Family and Consumer Sciences. Accordingly, the Consumer Affairs major will be designated as a degree, rather than

2

as a specialization. Hence, the existing specialization will, by default, be discontinued.

3. Program Overview and Rationale

a. Provide a rationale for option or concentration elevation to a full degree program. Include a brief description of the program, its purpose and strengths, fit with institutional mission, and a justification for elevating the option or concentration to a full degree program at this time.

Consumer advocacy and protection is a rapidly evolving field essential to the well-being of individuals and societies around the world. With considerable global changes in policy, legislation, business practices, threats, and the need for better understanding of new and emerging consumer issues, the discipline and profession demand continued academic recognition and status. As the field has significantly evolved, our specialization has adapted to keep pace with best practices and developing changes. While the established curriculum has been updated to reflect these realities, the name and designation of the degree has not. It is no longer appropriate to lump the specialization under the umbrella of Family and Consumer Sciences with our other degrees. Rather, the specialization is now sufficiently different and unique to meet the criteria for elevation to a full degree program, with the applicable designation, Bachelor of Arts in Consumer Affairs.

The Department of Family and Consumer Sciences is accredited by the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences (AAFCS). Our mission is to prepare leaders for the family and consumer sciences professions. FCS undergraduate and graduate students are expected to recognize, respect, and value individual and societal diversity, learn standards for ethical professional practices, and value their roles as family and consumer sciences professionals in the formation of public policy/civic engagement. This includes the ability to critique, develop, implement, and assess policies that support the well being of individuals, families, consumers, and communities. In addition, our students are expected to develop critical thinking skills and use diverse approaches for determining alternative solutions for issues. Our students support the principles and importance of collaborations and partnerships in communities and the workplace, and recognize that education is a lifelong process.

Through this diverse yet integrated course of study, our students gain specific skills and knowledge related to consumerism, learn by doing in applied field experiences, and have opportunities for independent study in areas of individual interest. The current course of study includes:

Consumer Advocacy and Protection Consumer Law and Legislation Consumers in the Global Marketplace Roles and Responsibilities of Federal and State Governments Legislation Related to Credit, Investments and Product Safety Financial Planning and Counseling Consumer Behavior Cash Flow Management and Goal Setting Investments and Retirement Planning Taxes and Insurance Crimes against Consumers

3

Consumers and Technology Debt Management and Legal Recourse Housing, including Housing for the Consumer, Housing in an Urban Setting,

and International Housing Issues

Accordingly, elevating this option to a full Bachelor of Arts Degree in Consumer Affairs reflects the needs of the students and the state, is broadly based, and demonstrates depth, relevancy, and applicability to the real world of work.

b. Proposed Catalog Copy – Provide the proposed catalog copy description, including program overview, degree requirements (including course catalog numbers, titles, and units), and admission requirements.

4. Curriculum: Provide a side-by-side comparison showing the course requirements of the existing degree major and concentration on one side and the proposed new major on the other.

a. Side-by-Side Comparison: The table below provides a comparison of the elevated specialization degree being proposed as a stand-alone Bachelor of Arts degree in Consumer Affairs and the existing specialization. The table demonstrates that the current specialization is already sufficiently unique to meet the criteria for elevation without substantive change. Note the two degrees have similar requirements.

Of those 11 students, 8 (72%) are on track to graduate at the end of spring 2019 with in-progress course work. Only two of the program’s upper-division courses have lower-level course prerequisites.
