Rationale: The proposed changes are primarily necessitated by a major reworking, by the Mathematics Department, of the STEM sequence of calculus courses. This change added 2 credits to the total number of credits required for the EESS major, which resulted in the possibility that this major, plus the required General Education courses, could sum to more than 120 credits for some students. The increase in the required mathematics credits is accommodated in the revised curriculum by removing the Physical Chemistry course as a requirement for all students. It is now only required in the Environmental Chemistry concentration, where it counts as part of the 27 elective credits in that concentration. In addition to accommodating the changes in the mathematics courses, this revision also lists the two versions of EAS 47200 separately, allows ENGR 10610 as an alternative to EAS 10600 and makes minor changes in the technical electives to make them consistent with the courses currently available in the EAS Department.

This corresponds more closely to the department’s original intention. The proposed Legal Studies Minor curriculum represents a balance of instruction in various ways of approaching and thinking about law. It has been updated to ensure that students are given a broad base of knowledge.

Rationale The mathematics department is moving to standardize names and numbers for our Topics course offerings. As part of these changes, we are creating the course Math A1303: Topics in Probability and Statistics. The mathematics department co-lists its A-level graduate courses with 400-level undergraduate courses, so that advanced undergraduates can take the courses for undergraduate credit. This course will become the undergraduate version of Math A1303. This will be the unique 3 credit undergraduate topics course in probability and statistics.

AV. 1.2 New Course Effective: Spring 2022 Career Undergraduate X Graduate Ph.D. Course Subject & Number Math A1100 Course Title Topics in Pure Mathematics Prerequisite(s) Departmental consent Corequisite (s) Credits 4 Hours 4 Liberal Arts & Sciences (As defined by NYSED)

X Yes No


Catalog Description Topics to be chosen from areas of pure mathematics such as algebra, analysis, topology, geometry, and logic. This course can be repeated at most 2 times for a maximum of 12 credits total.







Rationale We are splitting our current A-level topics course (Math A1200: Topics in Mathematics) into three courses: This topics course in pure mathematics, the new A1200: Topics in Applied Mathematics, and A1300: Topics in Probability and Statistics. This mirrors a broad classification of mathematics and matches the differentiation and numbering of our existing B-level topics courses. Students have requested differentiation of topics courses into these categories so that the information (pure, applied, or probability and statistics) appears on their transcripts. These categories are closely related to career aims of students. This will be the unique 4 credit topics course at the A-level in pure mathematics.

AV. 1.3 New Course Effective: Spring 2022 Career Undergraduate X Graduate Ph.D. Course Subject & Number Math A1203 Course Title Topics in Applied Mathematics Prerequisite(s) Departmental consent Corequisite (s) Credits 3 Hours 3 Liberal Arts & Sciences (As defined by NYSED)

X Yes No


Catalog Description Topics to be chosen from applied mathematics and related fields. Typical subjects include: numerical analysis, cryptography, mathematical biology. This course can be repeated at most 2 times for maximum of 9 credits total.







Rationale Our Master’s program only requires 30 credits and three B-level courses, which (typically) must be preceded by a corresponding A-level course. These A- and B-level courses are all four credits, so this leaves the student needing six additional courses. Thus, it makes sense for the department to offer 3 credit topics courses. Academically, this course, Math A1203, has the same justification as Math A1200. We will use Math A1203 instead of Math A1200 if the topic can be covered in 3 hours per week. Offering such 3 credit topics courses may save students money and may allow students to graduate more quickly. This will be the unique 3 credit topics course at the A-level in applied mathematics.

Topics include characteristics of life, cellular organization and diversity, chemistry of life, bioenergetics, reproduction and early development, and major living groups. The course features in-depth study of selected topics that are foundational for upper level study. Students develop critical thinking and technical skills that are essential for mastering the content areas and being successful in upper level courses. These include: vocabulary skills, critical thinking, collaborative learning, microscopy, collection and handling of scientific data, and elements of scientific investigation. Required for Biology majors.

Description Same

Rationale The decision no longer to allow Math 19000 (College Algebra & Trigonometry) as a pre- or co-requisite for Bio 10100 will better prepare our students to succeed in Bio 10100. We will now require a minimum math pre-or corequisite of Math 195000 (Precalculus) This is based on our own experience with this course, other Biology courses that themselves have Bio 10100 as a prerequisite , input from advisors, and comparison to comparable institutions.

Description This course will provide an introduction to the processes used in clinical and translational research defined broadly as patient-oriented, translational, epidemiologic, comparative effectiveness, behavioral, outcomes, or health services research (i.e., any research that has individual human beings or groups of human beings as its unit of observation). Students are exposed to overarching concepts and essential vocabulary for designing and interpreting clinical and translation research. This is primarily accomplished by instructing students in the creation of a research protocol, which is intended to address a relevant research question in their specific discipline. This course is only open for students enrolled in the Master’s in Translational Medicine (MTM) program.

Description The fields of medicine, health care delivery and technology are changing rapidly. Future practitioners in the field of translational medicine will need a solid understanding of research design, methods, analysis, interpretation and limitations to stay on top of new science, technology and product development. This course will prepare students with requisite skills to organize, conduct, interpret and evaluate new research. Emphasis is placed on the practical applications of statistical tools (no formula derivation or memorization involved), and class examples are drawn from research in preclinical and clinical biomedical sciences. From the lectures, demonstrations, and computational exercises offered, students are expected to acquire sufficient competency to design statistically valid experiments, identify appropriate statistical procedures for given sets of data, conduct actual analyses using professional-level

computer software, and interpret the results consistent with the experimental objectives and design.

Rationale This is a required course for the Master’s in Translational Medicine (MTM). These first updates to the course description originally developed at the program’s inception capture the evolution of the course to how it is currently being taught.

Rationale The mathematics department is moving to standardize names and numbers for our Topics course offerings. As part of these changes, we are creating the course Math A1100: Topics in Pure Mathematics. The mathematics department co-lists its A-level graduate courses with 400-level undergraduate courses, so that advanced undergraduates can take the courses for undergraduate credit. This course will become the undergraduate version of Math A1100. This course was originally used for co-listing Math B1100: Selected Topics in Pure Mathematics. But the mathematics department no longer co-lists B-level courses with undergraduate courses. It makes sense then to use this course for co-listing with Math A1100 instead.

This course will become the undergraduate version of Math A1300. This course was originally used for co-listing Math B1300: Selected Topics in Probability, Statistics, and Operations Research. But the mathematics department no longer co-lists B-level courses with undergraduate courses. It makes sense then to use this course for co-listing with Math A1300 instead. This will be the unique 4 credit undergraduate topics course in probability and statistics.

Description Topics to be chosen from applied mathematics and related fields. Typical subjects include: numerical analysis, cryptography, mathematical biology. This course can be repeated at most 2 times for maximum of 12 credits total.

Rationale Mathematics breaks into several general areas: Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, and Probability & Statistics. Currently, there is only one A-level topics course in Mathematics, this one, which does not differentiate between these areas. However, students have requested this sort of differentiation, because it affects their transcripts. They want their transcripts to indicate these areas, because this differentiation is relevant to career tracks. Furthermore, these collective changes to Math department topics courses will unify the names and numbers across the department. (There are 400-level, 500-level, A-level, and B-level topics courses, and they differentiate subjects differently.) Departmental consent was added as a prerequisite so that the student’s background can be verified to be appropriate for the course. This will be the unique 4 credit topics course at the A-level in applied mathematics.
