NEW COURSES

First Read 8/27/25

  • BIOM 426 : Advanced Plant Pathology

  • HSTR 388 : The United States and the World Since 1945

  • MCH 105 : Exposure to CNC Machining

 

COURSE INACTIVATIONS

First Read 8/27/25

  • BIOB 484 : Population Genetics

    • There are no plans to offer this course in the immediate future. This course overlaps considerably with Conservation Genetics, and Ecology and PSPP should consider restructuring the Conservation Genetics offering to be Population and Conservation Genetics, and possibly to replace population genetics with another course offering that would benefit Genetics minors and graduate students.

  • US 135 : Veteran Academic Strategies

    • No student enrollment since 2018. Decision to inactivate course has been discussed with the Director of Veterans' Services. Students are still able to access a learning and academic strategies course if needed or desired.

COURSE INACTIVATIONS

First Read 8/27/25

  • PHSX 573 : The Science of Sound for Teachers

    • This course has struggled to make required enrollment numbers for the past few years. This year, it has 0 students registered. Due to lack of demand, we would like it to be inactivated.

  • PHSX 576 : World of Force for Teachers

    • In 2022, PHSX 576 World of Force for Teachers course was integrated into the PHSX 574 World of Motion and Force course to offer MSSE students a 2-credit course in the physics of motion and force.

  • PHSX 577 : Physics of Renewable Energy for Teachers

    • PHSX 577 Physics of Renewable Energy for Teachers was recommended as PHSX 577 in 2017. Since that time, the rubric was changed to PHSX 597 with the title Physics of Renewable Energy for Secondary Teachers. PHSX 577 is no longer active.

  • PHSX 585 : Physics by Inquiry: Electric Circuits

    • PHSX 585 Physics by Inquiry: Electric Circuits is no longer offered through the MSSE program because of low on-campus summer enrollment. The content of this course was integrated into PHSX 571 Electric Circuits and Magnetism, an online offering.

  • PHSX 595 : Teaching Mechanics Using Research-based Curriculum

    • PHSX 595 Teaching Mechanics Using Research-based Curriculum is no longer offered through the MSSE program because of low on-campus summer enrollment. The content of this course was integrated into PHSX 574 World of Motion and Force, an online course taught in the MSSE program.

  • PHSX 596 : Teaching Electricity & Magnetism for Teachers

    • PHSX 596 Teaching Electricity & Magnetism for Teachers is no longer offered through the MSSE program because of low on-campus summer enrollment. The content of this course was integrated into PHSX 571 Electric Circuits and Magnetism, an online offering.
