Ecampus submits this memorandum to the Curriculum Council, according to the Curriculum Council Review Process for Ecampus Proposals, as an information item, to indicate that the proposed program includes the same curricular requirements as the already-approved, already-offered major and minor on campus. The table below compares the required and elective courses offered on campus, those offered online, and the required pre-requisites for each course, if applicable.

Regarding the current OSU catalog program description:

o  SLCS will be submitting at CAT-II amending the Catalog description to include the following statement, mirroring the language currently in place for the French Undergraduate Minor:

§  “Upper-division French electives (may include FR 270, France Today) to be approved by the minor advisor (3).”

o  SLCS is aware of references in the Catalog’s program description to the former OUS and is in the process of submitting a Category II proposal to amend that language.

o  Study abroad and electives requirements: Currently, students in foreign language undergraduate Majors are required to complete an approved study abroad experience. The current program catalog description states:

“WLCmajors must participate in an OUS and OSU-approved study abroad program or in an approved internship experience in a French-, German-, or Spanish-speaking country or fulfill this requirement as determined by the director.

Students who do not find an OSU-approved program (this includes OUS and other programs run through IDEA and OUS) that fits their academic and/or geographical needs can petition to have a different program approved by a sub-committee of the Study Abroad Advisory Committee. The requirement for petitioning a program must include an academic and/or geographic reason why a student is choosing a program not on the approved list.”

The credits for the study abroad are recorded as XX 388 or XX 488, or through an International Program/study abroad designator such as OINT 388/488.

§  Note: The SLCS is discussing modifying this requirement across all of the foreign language.
