French (BA) and German (BA)Our initial plan was to close the German BA program and maintain the French BA program. However, upon considerable reflection the Foreign Language & Literature Department has decided to consolidate all of the BA degrees (French, German and Spanish) into one BA degree in Foreign Languages (CIP 16.0101) with concentrations in French, German or Spanish. The Program Change form is being submitted.Mathematics and Statistics (BA/BS)The following Mathematics and Statistics courses support General Education at UMKC:Course

Based upon proposals that have already been accepted, we expect well over $1,000,000 for the next year.Our success is due to: a greater number of collaborations both within the department and with faculty at other institutions, increases in the number of proposals submitted, hiring very research active faculty who understand the importance of both external support and education, and also the proper mentoring of the new faculty. These last two strategies will continue with new hires. These outstanding faculty are able to bring their expertise into the classroom to deliver high quality graduate and undergraduate educational experiences to our students.Plans to improve recruitment and retentionThe physics department has developed a multi-pronged approach to improve both recruitment and retention. Included are:Having the most engaging faculty members teach the introductory coursesAdvertising physics courses on campusAdvertising the physics minor on campusAdvertising our recently developed 3/2 Physics/Engineering program.Exploring partnerships with local colleges that have small or no physics departments.Sharing resources through inter-institutional cooperation with Missouri’s other state-supported universities that participate in the “Missouri Physics Collaboration”Regularly speaking with advisors in the College of A&S to keep them up to date on the physics majorDeveloping a Physics major with an Astrophysics Emphasis (We are replacing one of our condensed matter theorists with an astrophysicist so that we can offer this option.)Developing a Physics major with a Biophysics Emphasis (We are currently discussing details of this with the Dean of the School of Biological Sciences)Active recruitmentTwo years ago we began bringing local high school students to the department. Last year over 1200 high school students visited us. We are now extending this to the community anizing an annual “Physics Phest”. We expect 400 high school and community college students to visit on 4/28/10 for our first one. We will show demonstrations, give tours of the department, have physics trivia contests, and have the visitors build simple demonstrations that they can keep.Better utilizing our stronger links to community colleges (where our former graduate students are Professors)Strengthening the Society of Physics Students (Physics Club). A strong physics club will attract more students. Recently students in the physics club built: fire pistons, cloud chambers, and a vacuum cannon. Next semester students will visit the nuclear reactor in Columbia, build persistence of vision demonstrations and exhibit demonstrations for grade schoolsIncreasing undergraduate involvement in research. Approximately ? of our undergraduates are involved in research. Our goal is to bring this to ?.Encouraging double majors, when that is appropriate to help a student achieve his/her goals.Urban Planning and Design (BA)The following Urban Planning courses support General Education at UMKC:Course EnrollmentNumberTitleFS2010FS2009SP2010FS2008SP2009FS2007SP2008UPD 101Intro to Urban Studies172110141057UPD 203GIS for Urban Planning131212111221UPD 260History of Planning & Design403529UPD 280Land Use Planning131313UPD 300Quantitative Planning Methods22211014UPD 320Planning Theory and Practice14UPD 332CZEnvironmental Sustainability30UPD 340Neighborhood & Community Development212118UPD 400Advanced GIS for Urban Planning7UPD 412WIPlanning and Design Studio IV779UPD 420Transportation Planning611UPD 430Planning for Historic Preservation8UPD 432Urban Environmental Planning202424UPD 440New Urbanism19199UPD 450Planning Law and Practice12923UPD 472Urban Redevelopment816916Urban Planning courses help support numerous other programs.

All of the usual lecture courses in Geography have students from other programs enrolled.Evidence of Employer DemandGraduates in Geography can expect to enter a favorable job market. Our past graduates have been successfully employed by Garmin, Inc., the Defense mapping Agency/ Geospatial imaging Center, the National Park Service, and many other government and private employers.The U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics reports the following information on careers directly related to the Geography BA/BS degree program, clearly illustrating the need for students trained in these fields.Geographers: “Overall employment is projected to grow much faster than average, but varies by detailed occupation. For anthropologists and archaeologists, opportunities will be best with management, scientific, and technical consulting services companies. For geographers, opportunities will be best for those who have GIS experience or knowledge. Keen competition is expected for historian jobs because the number of applicants typically outnumbers the number of positions available.” “Employment of geographers is expected to increase by 26 percent because the Federal Government—the largest employer—is projected to grow faster than in the past. Outside of the Federal Government, geographers will be needed to advise businesses, local municipalities, real estate developers, utilities, and telecommunications firms regarding where to build new roads, buildings, power plants, and cable lines. Geographers also will be needed to advise about environmental matters, such as where to build a landfill and where to preserve wetland habitats.” “Geographers with a background in GIS will find numerous job opportunities applying GIS technology in nontraditional areas, such as emergency assistance, where GISs can track the locations of ambulances, police, and fire rescue units and their proximity to the emergency. Workers in these jobs may not be called "geographers," but instead may be referred to by a different title, such as ‘GIS analyst’ or ‘GIS specialist.’” , cartographers, & photogrammetrists: “These occupations should experience faster than average employment growth. Surveyors, cartographers, and photogrammetrists who have a bachelor's degree and strong technical skills should have favorable job prospects.” A +27% change is projected for the period 2008-2018 for cartographers and photogrammetrists. scientists: Employment is expected to increase faster than average. Applicants face keen competition; those with graduate degrees should enjoy better prospects than those with only a bachelor’s degree.” A +15% change in employment is projected for the period 2008-2018. Studies (BA)The Urban Studies BA program is interdisciplinary and relies on a number of disciplines in the College of Arts and Sciences and the Bloch School of Business. The following disciplines offer a variety of courses that count toward the major, either as a required course or an elective: Architectural Studies (CIP 04.0401) provides several courses on environmental design.Art History (CIP 50.0703) provides a course on the design and form of Kansas City.Criminal Justice and Criminology (CIP 43.0103) provides courses that are introductory or about drug use and control.Economics (CIP 45.0601) provides courses in urban and regional economics.Geography (CIP 45.0701) provides a required course on urban geography, several courses in human geography, and technical courses on geographic information systems (GIS).History (CIP 54.0101) provides several courses in urban history.Philosophy (CIP 38.0103) provides a course on ethics and government.Political Science (45.1001) provides courses on state and local government and urban politics.Psychology (CIP 42.0101) provides courses on community psychology and developmental disabilities. Public Administration (CIP 44.0401) provides several policy courses. Sociology (CIP 45.1101) provides an urban anthropology course required for one of the concentrations and provides many courses dealing with community organization, community relations, and social services.Math and Statistics (CIP 27.9999) provides a required course on applied statistics for public administration.Urban Planning & Design (CIP 04.0301) provides several required courses and electives covering a number of subjects.The three stand-alone courses in the Urban Studies program are:Course EnrollmentNumberTitleFS2010FS2009SP2010FS2008SP2009FS2007SP2008URBAN ST 101Intro To Urban Studies192178121310URBAN ST 495Urban Studies Internship485126URBAN ST 499WIUrban Studies Seminar4106The Intro to Urban Studies course is cross-listed with Urban Planning and Design 101:Course EnrollmentNumberTitleFS2010FS2009SP2010FS2008SP2009FS2007SP2008URB 101Intro To Urban Studies172120141057Unique AccessThe Urban Studies program appeals especially to students interested in improving urban life in the core portion of our KC metropolitan area. A significant percentage of the students represent a minority. Following are the number of majors in Urban Studies broken down by minority status for the last five years:FS2006FS2007FS2008FS2009FS2010Minority85688Non-Minority109121415Unknown13313Following are the number of degrees awarded in Urban Studies broken down by minority status for the last five years:AY2006AY2007AY2008AY2009AY2010Minority31121Non-Minority22225Unknown11001Plans to improve recruitment and retentionRecruitment has involved a number of efforts:The Director or the doctoral student who helps with advising attend any advising orientations for new students that have expressed an interest in the program.The Director makes presentations at any seminars for College advisors in which programs are discussed. The Director prepares materials such as brochures, advising sheets, major maps, pens with Urban Studies information on them, etc. The Director has plugged the program in the introductory 101 course by making guest lectures and giving the students a brief talk about the major.Retention of students in this program has been good. Some majors who work and find it difficult to attend day-time classes drop out and usually pursue a Bachelor in Liberal Arts. Here are some of the ways we are trying to improve retention:There is a student club, the Urban Studies Student Consortium, that has been reactivated, but the student officers have not done much in the way of activities other than holding student meetings. The website was redesigned in a web 2.0 format.A minor in Urban Studies is to be formally proposed in the spring semester of 2011. A minor of 18 required credit hours would expose more students to the Urban Studies 101 course and to several disciplines that offer specific courses for the program.One big change that has been made recently is that the Director now has a doctoral student who deals with the advising of continuing students. The Director still advises all prospective students and all new majors and has succeeded in recruiting about six new majors in the fall semester. The division of labor seems to be helpful as I have more time to talk with the students I meet for advising and the doctoral student has done a good job with the continuing majors. It is strongly suggested that this arrangement be continued in the future. Our biggest problem is the lack of faculty devoted to urban studies. UMKC needs more faculty members interested in teaching and researching the city. The potential for this program to attract more majors is great, but we need the critical mass of faculty and courses offered on a regular basis.Theatre (BA)Following are the undergraduate courses taught in the Theatre Department and their enrollments for the current term and previous four years:Course EnrollmentNumberTitleFS2010FS2009SP2010FS2008SP2009FS2007SP2008THEATER 100Top St:Theatr Practice1395153THEATER 101Introduction To Acting18171723181814THEATER 113Intro To Technical Prod1615191691512THEATER 121Oral Interp Of Lit15141615151518THEATER 130Fd Of Fine Arts Theater14417292166136141145THEATER 180ATheater Production I134412968THEATER 180BTheater Production II11112THEATER 180CTheater Production III11THEATER 210Intro Design For Theater31202021THEATER 295ASpeech For The Theat I1761213THEATER 295BSpeech For The Theat I11117THEATER 298AMovement For Actors20118157815THEATER 300Acting I1210231225924THEATER 300CCc: Healing And The Arts34THEATER 315Acting II716138THEATER 317Scene Design311THEATER 325Acting III101211THEATER 340Stage Makeup111410THEATER 350Theater History I201624115THEATER 351WITheater History II91816THEATER 352History Of Costumng1213THEATER 371Stage Lighting4574THEATER 378Stage Management I61268679THEATER 380ATheater Production I348471THEATER 380BTheater Production II1314THEATER 380CTheater Production III111THEATER 380DTheater Production IV111THEATER 400ASpec Prob In Thea Acting3262524THEATER 400BSpe Prob Thea Design11THEATER 400CSpe Prb In Thea Costumes12THEATER 400CHSpe Prb In Thea1410149THEATER 400DSpe Prb Thea Scenic Dsgn353628THEATER 400GSpec Prob Thtr: Lighting331THEATER 400HSpe Prb Thea Playwritng12311THEATER 400ISpe Prb In Theatr: Sound4411THEATER 400JSpe Prb Thea Stage Mngnt2THEATER 400LSpe Prb Thea: Thea Mngnt21THEATER 400SSpec Topics In Theater7412THEATER 400TSpecial Prob in Theatre1142THEATER 400USpec Topics In Theatre112THEATER 400VSpecial Prob in Theater810THEATER 415Beginning Directng1213817THEATER 431Rend Tchnq-Theat Desgn I871014THEATER 432Costume Design4761THEATER 432BCostume Design46THEATER 432CCostume Design3THEATER 432DCostume Design1THEATER 437Playwriting I611117THEATER 438Playwriting II1169THEATER 476Thea Sound & Electronics765THEATER 478Stage Management II75THEATER 497Repertory Theatre222331Theatre BA majors take courses with 100 and 200 level designations, but these courses are also heavily populated with students from other departments in the College of Arts and Sciences, Bloch School of Business, School of Medicine, and the School of Biological Sciences. Theatre BA majors take also courses with the 300 and 400 level designations, but these courses are also taken by Theatre MA and MFA students, specifically Directing, Playwriting, Theatre History, and Design sequences in Scenery, Costumes, Lighting and Sound.The only courses taught specifically for Theatre BA majors are our three Acting Courses for majors:Course EnrollmentNumberTitleFS2010FS2009SP2010FS2008SP2009FS2007SP2008THEATER 300Acting I1210231225924THEATER 315Acting II716138THEATER 325Acting III101211Evidence of Student DemandThe following table presents the number of Theatre majors for the last five years.FS2006FS2007FS2008FS2009FS2010Theatre BA5345495662During the last ten years the Theatre BA has hovered between 45-50 majors. In 2009-2010, we had 56 majors. We have seen a huge upswing in Theatre majors this year, with a current population of 62 majors. Many of these students are coming from Johnson County Community College and Kansas City Kansas Community College, transferring in and taking advantage of the Metro Tuition Rate offered by UMKC. Current application rates for 2011-2012 indicate that the number of Theatre BA majors will swell to between 90 and 100.There are several reasons for this growth: (1) An older professor had been head of the Theatre BA for the last 7 years, and as the primary advisor and mentor, he had great difficulty running this program, mostly because of extreme personal health reasons. In 2009 the chair of Theatre took over the program and did most of the advising, and (2) last year the chair worked through a job change of one staff member to become the Undergraduate Advisor. This has helped tremendously in keeping students accountable and on target to graduate on time, to navigate the necessary requirements for graduation. (3) The older professor retired this summer, and the chair continues to manage the overall undergraduate program, and is initiating a number of new initiatives to strengthen the degree and experience of UMKC Theatre majors, as well as to (4) provide more production opportunities for students to act and design. (5) The chair and the student advisor have studied the degree programs and found bottlenecks in the way that courses are offered that make it difficult for students to graduate in four years, and these have been fixed. Finally, (6) the chair has secured a number of small scholarships for undergraduate majors. Therefore, the word has gotten out to high schools and community colleges that one of the nationally top Theatre programs in the United States is offering one of the best undergraduate programs in the metropolitan area.Environmental and Urban Geosciences (MS)The Environmental and Urban Geosciences program is an umbrella MS program for Geosciences.? It is housed in the Department of Geosciences along with the Geology BA & BS, Geography BA & BS, Environmental Studies BA and the Environmental Sciences BS.? All the faculty members in the Geosciences department teach courses in all the programs.? The Environmental and Urban Geosciences MS program allows students in all three disciplines to continue their studies toward a higher degree.? For the Environmental and Urban Geosciences MS, students can choose which area of emphasis (3 choices) they want to concentrate in—Environmental Geography and Geographic Information Science, Environmental Geology, or Urban and Cultural Geography.?

Though specific courses are not designated as being required for the Ph.D., a minimum number of hours and a specified proportion of courses distributed between the Coordinating Discipline and the Co-discipline are required. Those courses are chosen from the same suite of graduate-level courses offered for the M.S. in Environmental and Urban Geosciences program. Though specific courses are not required by the interdisciplinary Ph.D. program, a student’s supervisory committee may choose to require a student to take specific courses, depending on the subject of the student’s research.Evidence of Employer DemandGraduates of the Environmental and Urban Geosciences M.S. program can expect to enter a favorable job market. Our past graduates have been successfully employed by the U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Missouri Department of Transportation, Kansas Department of Health and Education, large and small geotechnical and engineering firms such as URS, Inc. and Burns and McDonnell, Inc., Garmin, Inc., and many other government and private employers. Anthony Balderrama (2009) () in his article on the “Top 10 Jobs in Science” lists Environmental Scientists (1st), Hydrogeologists (2nd), Geoscientists (3rd), and Atmospheric Scientists (6th) out of the top 10 science careers based on BLS statistics. The U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics reports the following information on careers directly related to the Environmental and Urban Geosciences M.S. degree program, clearly illustrating the need for students trained in these fields.“Professional, scientific, and technical services. Employment in professional, scientific, and technical services is projected to grow by 34 percent, adding about 2.7 million new jobs by 2018. Employment in computer systems design and related services is expected to increase by 45 percent, accounting for nearly one-fourth of all new jobs in this industry sector. Employment growth will be driven by growing demand for the design and integration of sophisticated networks and Internet and intranet sites. Employment in management, scientific, and technical consulting services is anticipated to expand at a staggering 83 percent, making up about 31 percent of job growth in this sector. Demand for these services will be spurred by businesses’ continued need for advice on planning and logistics, the implementation of new technologies, and compliance with workplace safety, environmental, and employment regulations.” : “Employment of geoscientists and hydrologists is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations. Graduates with a master's degree in geoscience can expect excellent job opportunities, but Ph.D.s may face competition for research and college teaching jobs.” “ A bachelor's degree is adequate for a few entry-level positions, but most geoscientists and hydrologists need a master's degree, which is the preferred educational requirement for most research positions in private industry, Federal agencies, and State geological surveys. A Ph.D. is necessary for most high-level research and college teaching positions, but is generally not required for other jobs.” “Graduates with a master's degree in geoscience should have excellent opportunities, especially in consulting firms and in the oil and gas industry. In addition to demand resulting from job growth, replacing those who leave the occupation for retirement, managerial positions, or other careers will generate a number of jobs. A significant number of geoscientists are approaching retirement age, and without increases in the number of students earning master's degrees in the geosciences, job openings may exceed the number of qualified jobseekers over the 2008-18 projection period….”“Job prospects for hydrologists should be favorable, particularly for those with field experience. Demand for hydrologists who understand both the scientific and engineering aspects of waste remediation should be strong.” Geographers: “Overall employment is projected to grow much faster than average, but varies by detailed occupation. For anthropologists and archaeologists, opportunities will be best with management, scientific, and technical consulting services companies. For geographers, opportunities will be best for those who have GIS experience or knowledge. Keen competition is expected for historian jobs because the number of applicants typically outnumbers the number of positions available.” “Employment of geographers is expected to increase by 26 percent because the Federal Government—the largest employer—is projected to grow faster than in the past. Outside of the Federal Government, geographers will be needed to advise businesses, local municipalities, real estate developers, utilities, and telecommunications firms regarding where to build new roads, buildings, power plants, and cable lines. Geographers also will be needed to advise about environmental matters, such as where to build a landfill and where to preserve wetland habitats.” Geographers with a background in GIS will find numerous job opportunities applying GIS technology in nontraditional areas, such as emergency assistance, where GISs can track the locations of ambulances, police, and fire rescue units and their proximity to the emergency. Workers in these jobs may not be called "geographers," but instead may be referred to by a different title, such as "GIS analyst" or "GIS specialist." Surveyors, cartographers, & photogrammetrists: “These occupations should experience faster than average employment growth. Surveyors, cartographers, and photogrammetrists who have a bachelor's degree and strong technical skills should have favorable job prospects.” A +27% change is projected for the period 2008-2018 for cartographers and photogrammetrists. scientists: Employment is expected to increase faster than average. Applicants face keen competition; those with graduate degrees should enjoy better prospects than those with only a bachelor’s degree.” A +15% change in employment is projected for the period 2008-2018.

Based upon proposals that have already been accepted, we expect well over $1,000,000 for the next year.Our success is due to: a greater number of collaborations both within the department and with faculty at other institutions, increases in the number of proposals submitted, hiring very research active faculty who understand the importance of both external support and education, and also the proper mentoring of the new faculty. These last two strategies will continue with new hires. These outstanding faculty are able to bring their expertise into the classroom to deliver high quality graduate and undergraduate educational experiences to our students.MS students make up the bulk of the research assistants who are working on externally funded research. Without their labor we will not be able to grow our external funding or even to sustain the current level.Political Science (MA)The number of Political Science MA majors has been growing for the last three years:FS2006FS2007FS2008FS2009FS2010Political Science MA101091316The number of degrees awarded has been increasing as well:AY2007AY2008AY2009AY2010AY2011 (anticipated)Political Science MA12268Following are the graduate level courses taught in the Political Science program and their enrollments for the current term and previous four years:Course EnrollmentNumberTitleFS2010FS2009SP2010FS2008SP2009FS2007SP2008POLS 5501Seminar in American Govt.12POLS 5530International Relations1398POLS 5542Constitutional Interpret2POLS 5570The Pltcs Of Soc Securty47POLS 5575Political Ideologies7POLS 5580Govt & Politics Seminar28101197POLS 5590Directed Stud & Research224575POLS 5599Thesis3413345Political Science MS majors occasionally take 400-level courses that are often offered for graduate credit.

Political Science graduate courses are used by students in the Social Science Consortium, in the MALS program, in History, Education, Sociology/Gerontology, Business, Criminal Justice and Law. Next year we plan to incorporate a research methods course into our graduate program, and we think that course will be especially useful to students in other disciplines.Enrollments from High School TeachersWe are exploring interest in the HSCP, and have sent letters to all social science teachers in the area. We do not yet know the results. Graduation from the Masters Program has steadily increased. Last year we graduated 6 students and this year we expect to graduate eight. We are the only Political Science M.A. program in Kansas City, and our recent graduates have gone into political think tanks, important diplomatic jobs, community organizing, teaching, government jobs, Ph.D. programs, become consultants to the army, and have continued careers in the armed forces. Some of our students are retired and are taking courses because they are interested in the subject, or to advance in their current jobs.Sociology (MA)Following are the graduate level courses taught in the Sociology program and their enrollments for the current term and previous four years:Course EnrollmentNumberTitleFS2010FS2009SP2010FS2008SP2009FS2007SP2008SOCIOL 5501Social Theory I3755SOCIOL 5502Social Theory II1063SOCIOL 5510Sociological Methods I55103SOCIOL 5511Sociological Methods II458SOCIOL 5516Intermediate Statistics9119SOCIOL 5531Feminist Theories3SOCIOL 5534Spatial Think/Soc Science1SOCIOL 5537Anthro of Religion1SOCIOL 5540Urban Social Structure3SOCIOL 5550Sociology Of Aging32SOCIOL 5554Sociology Aging Woman5SOCIOL 5560Soc Of Death & Dying1SOCIOL 5580Spec Studies in Sociology6121651273SOCIOL 5580Special Topics in Sociol310SOCIOL 5595Directed Rsch Experience111113SOCIOL 5597Independent Readings435264SOCIOL 5599Thesis And Research27313Sociology cooperates with other disciplines (particularly Black Studies, Criminal Justice/Criminology and Religious Studies) and the Graduate Gerontology Certificate program to provide graduate students supplementary subject matter and research methodologies for a well-rounded Master’s degree. Sociology is not an insular program, we are very well integrated with other graduate degree programs throughout the university. The Sociology MA program cross-lists several core courses with the Criminal Justice program (CIP 43.0103):Course EnrollmentNumberTitleFS2010FS2009SP2010FS2008SP2009FS2007SP2008SOCIOL 5510Sociological Methods I55103CJC 5510Sociological Methods I59SOCIOL 5511Sociological Methods II458CJC 5511Sociological Methods II10105SOCIOL 5516Intermediate Statistics9119CJC 5516Intermediate Statistics151311Additionally, Sociology cross-lists graduate courses with Religious Studies, Black Studies, and we anticipate cross-listing with the new Latina/Chicana Studies program being developed. There are 11 iPhD students finishing degrees with Sociology as either the coordinating or co-discipline. This cooperative interdisciplinary effort is a cost saving to all departments and programs as Sociology faculty teach at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.Students in the Counseling and Guidance MA program (CIP 13.1101) and the Counseling and Guidance EdSp program (CIP 13.1101) often take the following cross-listed course: Course EnrollmentRequiredNumberTitleFS2010FS2009SP2010FS2008SP2009FS2007SP2008NoSOCIOL 410RAging In Contemp Society11512OrNoSOCIOL 5550Sociology Of Aging32The curriculum toward a graduate gerontology certificate can be taken either as a free-standing program or in conjunction with various degree programs (e.g., Social Work, Counseling, Liberal Arts, Sociology, or Public Administration). It is recommended that students begin with a 3-credit Colloquium on Aging, followed by 3 credits from each of the 3 core areas (one being Sociology), 3 credits of electives (which can include Sociology courses), and a 3-credit practicum.

With the reduction of department faculty, the Sociology Department determined that a re-evaluation and restructuring of the Sociology graduate program was necessary to best serve our students. Faculty reduced the numbers of graduate students accepted to the program while the realignment was in process in alignment with the reduction of graduate faculty. Recruitment efforts should be aided through a recently updated departmental web site that will go live in early 2011. The overall quality and identity of the department should improve as the faculty work with an outside consultant in early 2011 on curriculum and assessment issues (with the help of funds from a grant from FaCET matched by the Dean of Arts & Sciences). We are in the process of hiring an associate professor to replace a retiring member, and this person should bring maturity and ability to mentor graduate students and support a departmental emphasis on urban studies and urban engagement that is consistent with UMKC’s mission. Additionally, the department has charged its Graduate Standards Committee to provide the means for better engagement of faculty with graduate programs. The Graduate Standards Committee is now led by young and energetic faculty members who have a record of mentoring graduate students including those who are graduating this semester. The department has also begun to systematically screen our undergraduates and work to encourage our best students to enroll in the M.A. program where careful mentoring should allow us to keep graduation rates high, where they should be for an urban institution like UMKC.The Graduate Standards Committee has recently implemented an annual review protocol for all students enrolled in the master’s program in order to improve our retention and graduation rates for our master’s students.? This is so that the progress of each student through the program can be monitored and supported by the entire department, and we are able to catch students who are faltering before they drop out of the program.? We anticipate this process will greatly enhance the graduate experience for all our students, regardless of their specific area of study.The number of degrees awarded is on the rise as well. A total of 5 students have completed their M.A. work during the fall of 2010 and will graduate in December. Two more are expected to graduate by the end of this academic year:AY2007AY2008AY2009AY2010AY2011 (anticipated)Sociology MA44327Oral Biology (MS)The most common Oral Biology MS program enrollees are students who concurrently enroll in advanced dental education certificate/residency programs. Current certificate programs at the School of Dentistry include Advanced Education in General Dentistry (CIP:510401), Endodontics (CIP:510506), Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics (CIP:510508), and Periodontics (CIP:510599).Graduate courses offered by the Oral Biology department are required by each of the certificate programs.

The current size of the MS program makes it possible to provide adequate administrative and mentor/thesis committee support, which is also limited by the number of available graduate faculty.

The degree outcomes and objectives of the CS and the IT degrees are complementary, although there is an overlap in degree requirements for the common core. Taken together, the degrees are extremely complementary in providing the integrated educational background for a successful career in the rapidly evolving fields that require knowledge in both traditional CS as well as IT. Future Outlook. The future for the number of students in the degree program is strong and promising. The Dean of the School of Computing and Engineering created the position of Director of Student Affairs in 2009. Since then, we have made a targeted effort for recruiting and marketing our undergraduate degrees to high school students and potential transfer students at regional community colleges. Reliable statistics are available for both 2009 and 2010, which show an increase in both the number of applications for the IT degree (58 in 2009 to 68 so far in 2010), as well as the number of ‘admits’ to the degree (42 in 2009 and 48 so far in 2010). Furthermore, being located in the heart of Kansas City with many corporations and industries in the area that are IT based or in need of IT graduates, there is an abundance of professional internships, part-time job, as well as, full-time employment opportunities.Unique Need in the region and state The future for graduates in Information Technology remains strong as well. The KC- Star, the newspaper that serves the Kansas City area, maintains a website listing various job openings and searchable geographical area. For Kansas City, the site, 107/ (accessed on Nov 10, 2010), lists 384 job openings in the Information Technology sector for Kansas City, Missouri. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects the demand for software engineers to increase 32% from 2008-2018. Furthermore, the various lists of “best jobs” in America (such as in CNN, and FORBES) invariably include IT related occupations. For instance, the latest ranking of the “Best Jobs in America”, available from the web-site money.magazines/moneymag/bestjobs includes three IT sector jobs in the TOP-10, and six in the top-20:1. IT – Systems Engineer, 5. IT – Project Manager, 8. IT – Computer/Network Security Consultant, 12. IT – Software Developer, 16. IT – Software Product Developer, 17. IT – Business AnalystOther jobs in the IT – sector on the list include Telecommunications Network Engineer, Computer Software Program Manager, Applications Systems Analyst, Software Test Engineer, Senior Web Designer, and Software Architect.The Bachelor of Information Technology program offered at UMKC provides the education necessary to fill these positions. With the new Director of Student Affairs, the targeted marketing of the degree, the fact that UMKC has the only regional ABET accredited IT degree, and the projected workforce needs (nationally and locally), the Department of CSEE and SCE are confident that the recent increase in enrollments in the IT program will continue and actually grow providing over 20 graduates per year in the near-term with the potential of 40 or more per year as the marketing effort is fully implemented.Middles School Education (BSE)The following courses are required for all Elementary Education BA students (CIP 13.1202), Middle School Education BA students (CIP 13.1203), and Secondary Education BA students (CIP 13.1205):Course EnrollmentNumberTitleFS2010FS2009SP2010FS2008SP2009FS2007SP2008EDUC 428Cult Diversity&Amer Educ85449125977075EDUC 489GTSpecial Topics182217EDRD 439Content Area Rdng and Lang Dev1617153214TE 408WIAdvanced Foundations1940191915TE 422Practicum II Middle & Secondar55TE 423Practicum III Middle & Second85907570TE 438Cult Resp Strat Wking Div Stu114The following course is required for all Elementary Education BA students (CIP 13.1202):Course EnrollmentNumberTitleFS2010FS2009SP2010FS2008SP2009FS2007SP2008TE 416Reading II Assess Teach Divers232650984The following course is required for all Secondary Education (English) BA students (CIP 13.1205):Course EnrollmentNumberTitleFS2010FS2009SP2010FS2008SP2009FS2007SP2008TE 432Spec Mthds Tchng Eng Mdl & Hgh18161819The following course is required for all Secondary Education (Math) BA students (CIP 13.1205):Course EnrollmentNumberTitleFS2010FS2009SP2010FS2008SP2009FS2007SP2008TE 433Spec Mthds Tch Mdl & Sec Math11181317The following course is required for all Secondary Education (Social Studies) BA students (CIP 13.1205):Course EnrollmentNumberTitleFS2010FS2009SP2010FS2008SP2009FS2007SP2008TE 436Spec Mth Tch Soc St Mid/Sec St23212714Unique Courses for Middle School Education MajorsThe following courses are taken by students in the Middle School Education program only: Course EnrollmentNumberTitleFS2010FS2009SP2010FS2008SP2009FS2007SP2008TE 460Middle School Curriculum242420TE 461Stud Teach In Middle Sch24231928TE 462M School Prin & Organiza242420Art History (BA)The number of Art History BA majors has been growing:FS2006FS2007FS2008FS2009FS2010Art History BA2026324439The number of degrees awarded has been increasing as well:AY2006AY2007AY2008AY2009AY2010Art History BA547613The following Art History course supports General Education at UMKC:Course EnrollmentNumberTitleFS2010FS2009SP2010FS2008SP2009FS2007SP2008ART-HIST 110Intro ToHist of Visual Arts185168145187124165113The following courses are co-listed with the Architectural Studies program (CIP 04.0401):Course EnrollmentNumberTitleFS2010FS2009SP2010FS2008SP2009FS2007SP2008ART-HIST 253His Desgn Env I, Anc&Med2103ENV-DSN 250Hist Designed Envirmnt I403941ART-HIST 254His Design Env II, Late421ENV-DSN 251Hist Designed Envrnmnt II312834ART-HIST 255His Dsgn Env III, Modern221ENV-DSN 252Hist Designd Environ III21192721Some Theatre MFA (CIP 04.0401) students enroll in the following course and produce more work to receive graduate credit:Course EnrollmentNumberTitleFS2010FS2009SP2010FS2008SP2009FS2007SP2008ART-HIST 497JSpecial Studies In Art11383252All Art History classes except ART-HIST?482 are taken by Studio art majors to fulfill their major requirements.

UMKC is the University of Missouri’s designated campus for the performing arts and UMKC’s Mission Statement explicitly states that our mission is “to deepen and expand strength in the visual and performing arts”. UMKC’s Music Composition Program is the only program among Missouri’s state universities that offers degrees at the bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral levels. Furthermore, enhancing “UMKC’s reputation as a national leader in artistic excellence” is central to the campus’ Strategic Goals (see attachment #2). The Conservatory’s Vision and Mission Statements describe the institution as a premier conservatory that encourages discovery, creativity and learning of the highest caliber; the Music Composition program shares a significant responsibility for the institutions realization of these goals.Following are the number of Music Composition BM majors over the last three years:FS2006FS2007FS2008FS2009FS2010Music Composition BM1316171716Following are the number of degrees awarded to Music Composition BM majors over the last three years:AY2006AY2007AY2008AY2009AY2010Music Composition BM71054In the last 10 years application levels for the BM program have tripled from six in 2001 to 18 in the current pool for 2011 admission. The new UMKC Summer Composition Workshop, which started in 2009.UMKC’s Music Composition Program is the second largest music composition program in the country with an average of 60 students in the program at the bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral levels. The largest program in the US is at the University of North Texas, with 70 students. UNT’s music school, which is three times the size of UMKC’s Conservatory, graduates four-five students in its BM Composition program per year, approximately the same number as UMKC in the last three years. The third and fourth largest composition programs in the US – the University of Oregon and the Jacobs School of Music at the University of Indiana – also graduate approximately four-five undergraduate students per year (source: Associate Deans from each Music School). All these programs, including UMKC, are fully accredited at their current size by the National Association of Schools of Music.Four full-time faculty spearhead the Composition Program. All four are Guggenheim Fellows, three have received awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and two are winners of the Rome Prize in Music Composition. One is an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a recipient of the Ives Living Award – the highest honor an American composer can receive from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Together their works have received over 4000 performances worldwide, greatly enhancing the visibility of the University of Missouri, internationally as well as nationally.Student quality has risen dramatically as well. As the applicant pool has grown, our selectivity has grown as well. Graduates from the BM program now routinely continue their studies at other prestigious programs in the US, including the Eastman School of Music, Rice University, Peabody Conservatory (Johns Hopkins University) Ithaca College, the University of Louisville, and the University of Colorado. In the last three years our students have earned two performances in peer-reviewed conferences, acceptance for a professional residency at the Kimmel Harding Center for the Arts, a Finalist entry in the Electroacoustic Miniatures Competition (Spain), 2nd Prize in the 2008 Young Composers’ Competition (Tennessee), a commercial recording, and three professional commissions. No music composition program within 500 miles of Kansas City reaches UMKC’s size or level of program quality and visibility. UMKC has one of only a dozen Music Composition programs in the U.S. with large populations of both graduate and undergraduate students (25-30 of each at UMKC). This allows us to provide an opportunity for every undergraduate composition student to work directly with a graduate student mentor on a weekly basis. Unique to UMKC, this program provides critical college level teaching experience for the graduate students who plan careers in university-level instruction. Our placement record for doctoral students in these positions is very high for the field – 83% in the last three years, including positions at the Central Conservatory of Music (Beijing), Kingston University (Hong Kong) and Elmhurst College (Chicago).The following courses are required for the Music Theory BM program (CIP 50.0904):Course EnrollmentNumberTitleFS2010FS2009SP2010FS2008SP2009FS2007SP2008CONSVTY 133Beginning Composition I4444CONSVTY 134Beginning Composition II344The following course is required for the Performance BM program (CIP 50.0903):Course EnrollmentNumberTitleFS2010FS2009SP2010FS2008SP2009FS2007SP2008CONSVTY 331Orchestration I211117Theatre (MA)Following are the number of Theatre MA majors for the past five year:FS2006FS2007FS2008FS2009FS2010Theatre MA2017131116In addition to taking courses across the MFA program, Theatre MA students take a couple of 400 level courses (Directing, Playwriting I & II) in the Theatre BA program (CIP 50.0501) and will take courses in the English Department (CIP 23.0101), specifically dramatic literature courses like Shakespeare, Irish Drama, etc.There is only one course taught that is specific to Theatre MA students:Course EnrollmentNumberTitleFS2010FS2009SP2010FS2008SP2009FS2007SP2008THEATER 5568Sem In Dramaturgy5Professor Dr. Felicia Londré teaches this course as an overload, or an extra class. ................
