Appendix C. Request for GEOG course designator.

November 3, 2015 Proposal for GEOG course designator http://oregonstate.edu/admin/aa/apaa/course-designators

Procedural Steps: 1. The academic unit contacts the office of Academic Programs, Assessment, and Accreditation @ 7-9560, or via email to the Curriculum Coordinator, with a proposal to create a new course designator, including a justification for the proposal. 2. The proposer responds to the questions set forth in Request for New or Changed Course Designator (see below) and emails responses to APAA. 3. The Curriculum Coordinator in APAA will contact the Registrar’s Office to confirm the availability of the proposed course designator. 4. The Curriculum Coordinator will submit the proposed course designator to the Curriculum Council for review and approval. 5. Following approval by the Curriculum Council, the Curriculum Coordinator will submit an expedited proposal in the Curricular Proposal System (CPS). 6. The Registrar’s Office then moves forward with implementation of the new course designator. 7. Once a course designator is approved, the academic unit seeking to convert their courses to the new designator will send the list of these courses to APAA. APAA will change the course designators via expedited proposals, without the inclusion of syllabi.

Request for New or Changed Course Designator: Requests for new or changed course designators are reviewed by the Registrar’s Office and by the Curriculum Council of the Faculty Senate. Proposers should contact the Office of Academic Programs, Assessment, and Accreditation to initiate a designator request. Creation or alteration of a course designator constitutes a change in the curricular structure of the university. Such a change has implications for the catalog, schedule of classes, BANNER Student Information Systems, MyDegrees, and transfer articulation. Accreditation standards require that designators be “consistent with program content in recognized fields of study.”

Designator requests should be prepared in writing and should address Purpose, Accountability, and Impact of the new designator. Additional details for addressing these considerations are given below. Purpose: The proposed course designator should have an identified purpose within the curricular structure of Oregon State University.  What academic programs, including majors, certificates, options and minors will be served by courses within the designator?

The GEOG course designator is proposed for courses in the discipline of Geography. It will serve the new Geography and Geospatial Science major, the GIScience certificate, and many courses included in many options and minors. It will partially replace the GEO designator, currently assigned to Geography courses (see list attached).

History: The GEO designator was created ~1990 to replace the former GEOG and GEOL designators at the time of the merger of the former departments of Geography and Geology at OSU (in 1990). The Department of Geosciences was dissolved in 2011, when it merged with COAS to become the new College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences (CEOAS). At that time, Geography and Geology moved into separate discipline groups within CEOAS, and the associated degree programs in Geography and Geology have been administered separately within CEOAS since that time.

There are three motivations for this request: 7

(1) The lack of a GEOG designator at Oregon State University contributes to confusion and ignorance among students who do not understand the difference between the disciplines of Geography (study of the nature and relative arrangement of places, human cultures, and physical features) and Geology (study of the earth's physical structure and substance, its history, and the processes that act on it). Over the past few decades, virtually every aspect of society has been revolutionized by geographic information technology, which is used by individuals to navigate and make daily decisions; by farmers to manage crops; by governments to collect intelligence, manage natural resources, and respond to disasters; and by businesses to plan and locate activities. In our globalized world, understanding places and the relative arrangement of places, human cultures, and physical features is an increasingly critical element of citizenship. Given this, it is stunning to consider that very few people (including educated people) understand the distinction between Geography and Geology. Because students overwhelmingly interpret "GEO" to mean Geology, the use of the GEO designator obscures the existence of Geography at OSU.

(2) The use of the GEO designator, combined with the growth of new courses, and the restriction on re- use of course numbers, has led to a course numbering system at OSU in which courses in Geography and Geology are jumbled together and not logically numbered. The current GEO course numbering system is extremely confusing for students, advisors, and faculty. Reinstatement of the GEOG designator will assist students, staff, and faculty, by permitting a rational course numbering system.

(3) Our peer institutions overwhelmingly use the GEOG designator to designate courses in Geography.

 In what ways do the general area and scope of the content constitute a coherent body of knowledge? Geography is an ancient and modern discipline - one of the earliest academic disciplines in western culture. See e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography. Professional organizations include the Associate of American Geographers, the National Geographic Society, and others. All major universities in the United States offer undergraduate and graduate degrees in Geography, see http://www.aag.org/galleries/publications- files/20142015_Guide_to_Geography_Programs_in_the_Americas.pdf.

 Is the proposed usage of the designator consistent with practice at OSU and other institutions? Give examples. Oregon State University's Geography program ranked 12th in the National Research Council's ranking of top geography programs in the United States, see http://chronicle.com/article/NRC-Rankings- Overview-/124734/. Twenty-one of the top 30 highest-ranked degree programs in Geography use the designator GEOG. Asterisks indicate our peer institutions among the Carnegie Research institutions with the "very high" research category (See for example:

Nine of these do not use GEOG as a designator. These are mostly Geography programs housed within large schools, and designators vary, including GE, GEO, GIS, GEA. Geography programs using "GEO" as course designator are typically housed in Colleges of Social Sciences, where they cannot be confused with Geology courses (e.g., ASU, Florida State, Michigan State), or in schools that combine Geology and Geography (e.g., Boston Univ.) *Arizona State University (School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning) (rank 1): https://geoplan.asu.edu/academics/undergraduate-studies/about-undergraduate-geography- programs/undergraduate-courses *Boston University (School of Earth and Environment) (rank 2): http://www.bu.edu/academics/cas/programs/earth-environment/ba-in-geography%E2%80%94human- geography-specialization / *Florida State University (College of Social Sciences) (rank 4): http://coss.fsu.edu/geography/Students/undergraduate_program.html *Michigan State University (College of Social Sciences) (rank 9): http://geo.msu.edu/undergraduate- information/undergraduate-degrees-2/ Syracuse University (rank 17): http://www.maxwell.syr.edu/geo/Undergraduate_Program / *SUNY Buffalo (rank 19): https://www.buffalo.edu/cas/geography/undergraduate-programs/curriculum- and-requirements.html *University of Arizona (rank 20): http://geography.arizona.edu/sites/geography.arizona.edu/files/BS%20in %20Geography%20sheet.pdf *University of California at Davis (rank 22): http://geography.ucdavis.edu/classes *University of Florida (rank 28): http://geog.ufl.edu/programs/undergrad/bs_requirements/

Accountability: Responsibility for the integrity and oversight of the proposed course designator should be clearly identified.

 What is the academic College of the designator? CEOAS

 Who is responsible for administering courses in the designator, e.g. scheduling and catalog updates. Who are the faculty contact persons? CEOAS Associate Dean for Academic Programs - Anita Grunder (curriculum and faculty course assignments) CEOAS Student Services - Melinda Jensen (scheduling and catalog updates) Geography Program Director - Julia Jones (curriculum and faculty course assignments)

 Who is responsible for consistency and outcome assessment for courses in the designator? Geography Program Director - Julia Jones Geography program faculty - see http://ceoas.oregonstate.edu/academics/geography/

 Which units get credit for the SCH generated by courses in the subject code? CEOAS/Geography 9

 Who is responsible for communicating information about the new designator to stakeholders, including advisors, Admissions, and students? CEOAS Student Services - advisors Kate Ullman, Stephany Johnson; Graduate student coordinators Robert Allan, Lori Hartline Geography Program Director - Julia Jones Impacts: Who will benefit from the new designator and what changes will result from its implementation?  Will courses in the new designator duplicate or compete with existing ones? No. The GEOG designator removes confusion. The GEOG designator will partially replace the GEO designator, currently assigned to Geography courses (see list, attached at the end of this document).

 Are there expected cross-listings or curricular equivalencies? No.  How will the new designator affect transfer credits? Transfer credits will be managed as they currently are managed. Incoming students currently may apply credits earned in GEOG and GEO coursework elsewhere, and this will continue.

 Will any previous existing designators expire as the new one appears? No, the GEO designator will continue to be used for Geology courses.  How will the new designator benefit students? The GEOG designator will resolve current confusion among undergraduates at Oregon State University who do not understand the differences between the disciplines of Geography and Geology, which are very distinct. Students overwhelmingly interpret "GEO" as meaning Geology.

In addition, the current sharing of the GEO designator means that Geography and Geology courses are intermixed somewhat haphazardly, and neither Geography nor Geology courses can be numbered sequentially. The creation of the GEOG designator will permit a rational, easily comprehensible numbering system for courses in Geography. Removal of the Geography courses from the GEO designator also provides Geology with the freedom to number courses sequentially as needed.

Oregon State University Libraries Evaluation of the Collection Supporting a Proposal to Initiate a Bachelor of Science Program in Geography and Geospatial Science

This Oregon State University Libraries and Press (OSULP) assessment reviews the print monographic, e-book, and electronic serials collections needed to support the proposed Geography and Geospatial Science program. As stated in the Cat 1 proposal, the "proposed undergraduate major in Geography and Geospatial Science combines the ancient discipline of Geography with contemporary geospatial science." From the OSULP perspective, students and researchers will tap various components of the library collections.

Summary of Recommendations OSULP already supports the graduate level geography program, a GIScience Certificate and the existing geography option for the Earth Science undergraduate degree. The monographic, journal and map collections of the OSULP are adequate to support this proposed program.

Print Monographs and E-Books Library evaluations of proposed programs have traditionally included the analysis of OSULP's print monograph collection. Comparing the monograph collection with other universities' collections is routine. This analysis includes a comparison of the monograph collection with peer institutions with a program similar to the one proposed. In this case, the OSULP collection was compared to the other institutions with undergraduate geography programs in Oregon. OSULP's geography collection is comparable or larger than these libraries. The GIS- related subjects were also checked for the three community colleges with GIS programs, and the OSULP collection was significantly larger.

Table 1. Monograph comparison with peer institutions.

The growing availability of e-books makes it possible to expedite access to more information from various locations. Students are able to access the books from their computer or mobile 37

device at any time. The library currently has access to over 390,000 e-books, including over 900 e-books in geography-related subjects.

OSU is well served by the OSULP investment in the Orbis/Cascades Alliance, whose combined collection is substantial. Students and faculty can order from the collections of all the libraries in the Orbis Cascade Alliance through the Summit catalog. All of the Oregon libraries with GIS or Geography programs are members of this consortium, so their collections are available to Oregon State University students. Many university and college libraries in Washington and Idaho are also members. Books requested through Summit are delivered to OSUL within three to five working days.

Overall, the monographs collection is adequate to support the proposed program. Maps OSULP has a large and varied map collection, which includes road maps, geologic maps, soils maps, topographic and other maps showing physical features, political maps, bathymetric charts and many more covering all parts of the world and even other planets and star charts. The Valley Library is a federal depository library and receives government maps, and selectively purchases maps and atlases from publishing companies.

There are also many maps available electronically. Mapping tools include Oregon Explorer and SimplyMap.

Overall, the OSULP Maps Collection is adequate to support this proposed program.

Serials/Journals The OSULP maintains an adequate collection of journals appropriate for this proposed program. There is concern that with regular price increases to our licenses and a flat budget that access may be eroded over time. The OSULP already have sacrificed timely access to some titles in favor of an embargo period to cut costs (these journals are only available after a 12-18 month delay). A list of key journals for this program was developed using the Geography, Physical Geography, and Remote Sensing subject category in the Journal Citation Report (JCR). This produced a list of 138 journals. The list includes titles that we have current access to, those with embargoes, ones the library no longer has a subscription to, and those not owned by the OSULP.

OSU Libraries has current subscriptions to 79 of these titles (57%), delayed access to an additional 19 titles, and historical access to 15 titles. A core list of 35 journals based on the high- impact journals (journals in the top quartile) was compiled from the original list, and the library has access to 26 of the 35 titles (74%) and historical access to 3 titles. For articles not available through OSULP, Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is available with an average turnaround of 2 working days.

Geographic Information Science Certificate (CERT) PROPOSED 4/3/2016 Also available via Ecampus.

Kuuipo Walsh, Director GIScience Certificate Program 134 Wilkinson Hall College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences Oregon State University Corvallis, OR 97331 541-737-3795 FAX 541-737-1200 Email: [email protected] Website: http://ceoas.oregonstate.edu/giscience/

Oregon State University offers an undergraduate and graduate certificate in Geographic Information Science. Geographic Information Science ("GIScience") is a discipline that combines theory and principles underlying:  geospatial data collection (remotely sensed imagery from satellites, aircraft, and drones, social media, telemetry, GPS, etc.);  technologies to manage, analyze, and visualize geospatial data (geographic information systems);  computational, statistical, and mathematical methods to analyze and model geospatial data (machine learning, Big Data, spatial statistics, spatial modeling, geovisual analytics, etc.);  digital cartography and geovisualization (the science and practice of creating maps); and  cognitive, social, and environmental implications of GIScience (professional ethics, privacy, digital divide, etc.).

The OSU GIScience certificate can lead to certification as a nationally recognized GIScience professional (GISP). GIScience professionals are in high demand for jobs in government, NGOs, and the private sector, and will be qualified for rewarding careers in natural resource management, online and interactive mapping, business, planning, and many others.
