INTER / MEMOOFFICE
To: / Robert Arrigon, Executive Dean, Academic Affairs
From: / Steven Saltzman, Academic Chair, Business Administration
Subject: / PROPOSAL - BA18 AS A REPLACEMENT FOR OS15 IN BUSINESS PROGRAMS
Date: / October 19, 2001
Ive proposed the new course, BA18 - Workplace Skills Seminar, as part of the 315 program revision. This course was developed as a result of my Title III Skills Survey which found that business graduates should possess a number of skills at the entry level or higher upon graduation. Many of the skills relate to the field of business, i.e., team management skills, general business skills, problem solving skills, leadership skills, among others. These skills are required in addition to basic oral, written, math and research skills. As a result of this finding, the college can best serve the interests of business students by offering a course that will introduce them to the world of work and the skills necessary for success in a college business program and in the work force as they pursue their careers.
Thus, I am proposing that this discipline-specific course be included in all business programs in lieu of OS15. The programs that would be impacted are as follows: 315, 207, 410, 333, 433, 318, 319, 335, 208, 343, 407 and 435.

315-1 PROPOSAL
I. OBJECTIVES
The changes to the Business Administration AAS 315-1 have been proposed to update the program and to provide students with a 2 year degree that will give them the skills needed to enter the workforce in the 21st Century.
The proposed changes have been developed in consultation with business faculty, industry personnel and are based, in part, on the results of a Title III Workplace Skills Survey and recommendations made by the 2 -4 year Council of SUNY business faculty and administrators.
II. RELATIONSHIP TO FACULTY
There are 43 members of the business faculty on the three campuses who have been involved in the present 315 curriculum and these same faculty will also be involved in the new program. No additional staffing will be required for the new 315 curriculum.
III. RELATIONSHIP TO LIBRARY
The library on the three campuses maintain a reasonable selection of books, periodicals and audio-visual material to support the present program and these materials will support the new 315 curriculum.
In addition to library resources, faculty have access to Internet and textbook resources, which provide up-to-date and current materials related to the various areas of business. These materials are brought into business classroom on an ongoing basis.
IV. RELATIONSHIP TO EXISTING CURRICULUM AND/OR COURSES
Listed below are the changes to the program:
1. The department has developed a new courses titled College/Workplace Skills Seminar (BU15) which will replace OS15. This course will introduce students to the college experience and link them to the world of work.
2. BA80 Issues in Contemporary Business - 3 cr. was developed to be used as a capstone/course outcomes measure..
3. The BL70 Law for Business course serves to provide graduates with the specific legal knowledge needed to survive in the business environment. Students will choose either BL71 or the new law class as their elective.
4. BA22 Computing for Business is a course replacing the CI/CM electives and deals specifically with computers in the business world.
5. Students will be required to take either EK21 or EK22, not both. One of the economics courses was replaced with a business elective (BA62, BA53 or BA55) enabling students to take an additional business course in their area of interest to meet their career goals.
6. The CO11 requirement has been broadened to include CO12, CO15 or CO27 enabling students to take a communication course which will fit their career goal.
7. The open English elective is now listed with a recommendation of EG13, EG21 or EG55. This will help students to better focus on their choices.
8. To better meet the SUNY Gen. Ed. Requirements, recommendations for specific humanities, social science and science or math electives have been listed.
9. BU80 (coop.. Experience) or Issues in Contemporary Business have been added in lieu of BA21. This change gives students the opportunity to get a business experience if they choose to do so.
10. The sequences which were required in the old 315 program have been limited and are now listed as a recommendation. This gives students more latitude in planning their program.
