CK sends Erica McGibbon OAPRA feedback on full proposal: Hi Erica, Thank you for your patience while we reviewed the MS Management and Systems program change proposal. I am writing to update you that we have completed our review. Overall, the proposal is in good shape, but please see below for a summary of our feedback, and see attached documents for specific in-line comments, suggested revisions, and clarifying questions. Summary of notes: General Academic Change form: We made a number of revisions in this document to clarify and/or streamline the narrative. Please review to ensure everything is accurate. Program Sample Schedule: Please make sure to list the prerequisite courses, where applicable. Course Descriptions: Please update to include course options for the required elective. Syllabi: The syllabi are very well put together, but they all have the same two issues that need updating. They all incorrectly state that each course meets for a total of 2250 minutes per semester, but the calculation based on # of meetings X minutes per meeting actually comes to 2310 minutes. It's fine to go a bit over the minimum of 2250 minutes of instructional time for a 3-CR course, but the syllabi should show the correct calculation of minutes. The other item is the Grading Scale. The syllabi link out to the SPS Policies and Procedures webpage, but that info should be included directly in the syllabus. Please let us know if you have any questions about the feedback provided. |

Erica M submits revised proposal materials: Hi Carina, Thanks again for your review. I've attached the updated documents for this program change application. For ease of reference, I've marked your comments as resolved where appropriate. Feel free to delete those comments and remit the final documents if they are sufficiently revised. |
| 04/25/2024 |
CK reviews revised proposal materials, shares update w/TW: I have reviewed the revisions made by SPS. Most OAPRA feedback has been addressed/incorporated, but they did not provide course descriptions for elective options as requested (they may have missed that comment/request which was made on the side by side comparison table - section 5 in the change form). The revised documents can be found here. |
| 04/26/2024 |
TW reviews updated proposal: I looked over the proposal and I don't have any edits. Once SPS provides the course descriptions requested, please prepare the proposal for NYSED submission. |

CK emails Erica to request missing course descriptions: Hi Erica, I hope you've had a good week. We're nearly finished reviewing the updated proposal. It's in good shape and is nearly ready to send on to NYSED, but there's something that was missed in your response to OAPRA feedback. In the NYSED General Academic Change Form, in section 5 PROGRAM CONTENTS AND REQUIREMENTS: CURRICULUM GRID, under the electives section, the description includes: "Additionally, students may select a course offered within other graduate programs within the Division of Programs in Business." We commented on this requesting that you provide course descriptions for 3 elective options within the Division of Programs in Business to illustrate to NYSED the types of courses that students might take, but in the revised course descriptions document, it doesn't look like you added those descriptions. It seems you may have just overlooked this comment as you acknowledged/responded to other comments in the document, but not this one. Can you please add those descriptions to the course descriptions document and send back to us? Let us know if you have any questions. |

Erica sends missing course descriptions: Dear Carina, I hope you had a nice weekend. Thanks for your follow up to detail that missing formation. I've adjusted the course descriptions document with tracked changes to add in the requested course options. The updated document is attached. If you have any questions, please let me know. |
