CK requests missing proposal documents/forms from SPS: Hi Erica, I hope you're having a good week. This proposal has been assigned to me and in beginning my review, I noticed that we are missing the Curricular Requirements form and the Non-NYS Authorization Form. Can you complete and submit those so that we can complete our proposal review? Warmly, Carina |

CK checks in with SPS to finalize proposal: Hi Erica, The Distance Ed proposal for AAS Health Administration is very nearly ready for submission to NYSED. Before finalizing the proposal, I wanted to check with you on a couple of responses in the distance ed form. In part B, section 3, questions 4 & 5 - the responses are sufficient, but the responses for those questions in the updated AAS Hospitality Management proposal are much fuller. If the Hospitality Management responses align with how the Health Administration program operates, I'd like to suggest we update those responses in the Health Administration proposal. Otherwise, we will submit to NYSED as-is. Let me know what you think - I can make the updates if you think that sounds like a good idea. Please let me know if you have questions on any of the above! Warmly, Carina |

Erica/SPS responds to confirm proposal responses: Hi Carina, As always, thanks for your feedback. I appreciate your question and suggestion regarding alignment between the AAS in Health Administration and AAS in Hospitality Management. The two programs are distinct and will not operate in the same way. In particular, the Hospitality program will utilize coursework and faculty resources from the Tisch Center of Hospitality while the Health Administration program will not. For these reasons, I'm inclined to leave the distance application for Health Administration as is. But if there are any updates you have in mind not specific to Tisch, I welcome your thoughts! Best, Erica |

CK requests sample syllabi from SPS, Erica confirms receipt of request: Hi Erica, NYSED has requested to see some syllabi for this program (as this program is registered with the Office of Professions, it can be subject to a deeper level of scrutiny). Can you please send syllabi for the 7 courses that are major requirements? Please ensure that the syllabi include language on instructional activities for the credit hour calculation. Please let us know if you have any questions. Warmly, Carina ****************** Hi Erica, One additional note for the syllabi. It would strengthen our response to ensure the syllabi reflect the distance education modality, e.g., incorporating some of the distance-modality specific learning activities and engagement that are detailed in the distance education application. Warmly, Carina |

CK completes review of the 7 submitted syllabi. All syllabi include language on integrity of credit and the number of minutes and credits are in alignment. Half the syllabi do not include a section on pre-reqs. One syllabus is missing a section on learning outcomes/objectives. The syllabi are otherwise in satisfactory shape. If you think it's important to include the pre-reqs in all syllabi and to the the learning outcomes on the one syllabus, I'll ping Erica. Otherwise, I'll PDF them for you to send to NYSED. The syllabi and syllabus compliance sheet are here. |

CK requested syllabus update for syllabus missing learning outcomes: Hi Erica, We've reviewed the submitted syllabi. They look to be in mostly good shape to send to NYSED, but there is one that's missing the section on learning objectives/outcomes. Can you please update that syllabus and send back to us? It's for HEAL1-UC 2670 Legal Aspects of Healthcare. Warmly, Carina |

| 09/10/2024 |
TW responds to NYSED inquiry re: increased enrollment support: Hi Rebecca, Thank you for clarifying. NYU has an institutional practice of considering the need for additional resources to support new programming and a practice of ongoing assessment of the allocation of available resources when considering the increased enrollment associated with intentional program growth. As a large institution with 700+ programs, the addition of 10 students enrolled in the distance education version of this existing on-campus program (with a planned maximum of 20 students per year 3 and beyond) will be absorbed into the resources already available at the institution and the school offering this program. Take care, Titilayo |
