1. Provide specific reasons for the proposal of this course and explain how the changes enhance
the curriculum.
FIN 420-520 will provides students hands-on experiential learning of real money management
using funds endowed by private donors. The course has been offered for three semesters as a
special topics course, and is schedule to be taught a fourth time during the spring 2019
semester (see enrollment numbers in the table below). The courses started with a $50,000
endowment in 2016, which has attracted additional donor funds of $181,081 and has had an
ROI of 10.4% since inception. Students actively participate in all aspects of security analysis
and portfolio management, including understanding investment ethics, generation of trading
ideas, investment analysis, asset valuation and allocation, trading of financial securities, and
performance report. The student managed investment fund class successfully competed in the
2017 Quinnipiac G.A.M.E. VII Forum, taking 1st place – Core Portfolio. The hand-on learning
has been invaluable for graduates who have leveraged the experience into career paths in
finance and investing. Semester FIN/BADM 492 FIN/BADM 592

GEOG 474-574 primarily focuses on advanced GIS modeling methods and how to use them in
real-world GIS applications. GEOG 473-573 focuses on how to compile, manage, and analyze
GIS data for a specific application. These two courses do not cover the theories and principles
of spatial databases and how to design and implement a spatial database. In the age of big data,
spatial databases will be needed to manage, process, and analyze big geospatial data. This
course aims to introduce the principles of spatial database design and development, which can
help students better manage and analyze big geospatial data and become more competitive on
the job market.

1. Provide specific reasons for the proposal of this course and explain how the changes
enhance the curriculum.
This course will unify coaching strategies, tactics and issues relevant across the field of
coaching versus individualized sports specific content. After a recent revision of the Sport
ATTACHMENT I 10
AAC Form 1.5 – New Course Request (Last Revised 10/2018 – Clerical )
and Recreation Management major and course work, the content of those classes now
focuses more on management and leadership; it no longer meets our standards or elements.
Therefore, the Department of Health and Nutritional Sciences has proposed this class to
enhance the curriculum and meet the standards. The combination of the proposed HLTH
250-250L, PE 352; and PE 483 and PE 484 will replace these credits. In the existing
courses (PE 469-469L, PE 471-471L, PE 473-473L, PE 474-474L, PE 475-475L) students
participate in classroom time on campus limited to 1 – 2 hours weekly with their peers. In
the proposed class, students will gain 40 – 60 field hours in sport specific training with a
certified coach in an approved setting with student athletes. PE 484 is the field experience
and application of the course content that is taught in PE 483. The topic of 483 will be
coaching fundamentals and theories, PE 484 will consist of the student appling that
fundamental and thoeritcal information in a sport specific field placement. This course is
unique because it will allow tradidtional and non-traditional students to access this course
and be prepaired to coach in a variety of settings/sports. It will allow us to pool the
enrollment of 6, traditionally low enrollment classes into one course which should their for
meet the number requirements each semester. It is also unique because they have never
had the opportunity to have a field experience before.
