Three courses, HSCI 490-3, HSCI 492-
3,
and either 491-3, HSCI 493-6, or HSCI 494-9, together form the coursework for the honors thesis.
This 9-credit option
is for students whose research requires close to full-time work in the laboratory
during the semester. Limited to honors students upon written agreement of the faculty supervisor.
Prerequisite:
HSCI 490-3 Research Proposal. Cannot get credit for HSCI 491-3 or lISCI 493-6.

Rationale for Introduction
of this Course:
This independent research course
for 9 credits is intended to allow students doing laboratory-based
research for the honors thesis to get
credit for an extended amount of work. The experience of
instructors who supervise such students is that they put in very long hours, often equivalent to full-
time
work, in the lab while accomplishing the research for the thesis. This and other options for the
honors thesis research provide flexibility to accommodate the diverse needs
of students doing
different projects
of varying scope in many different sub-disciplines.

RATIONALE:
This elective is being deleted as part of updating the Health Sciences BA curriculum.
We are replacing it with a 400-level elective, HSCI412 Health Communication, and
moving HSCI 401 Health Promotion: Individuals and Communities to be a 300-level
required course (HSCI 312). HSCI 312 is a logical prerequisite for the new HSCI 412.
The new order of these offerings is more logical than what we have done to date.
Does this course replicate the content of a previously approved course to such an extent
that students should not receive credit for both courses?
If
so, this should be noted
in
the

TO:
HSC! 130-4 Foundations of Health Science
RATIONALE:
HSCI 130, required of all entering HSCI majors and a prerequisite for most courses in
the major, is currently a 3 credit course. It already involves 4 contact hours per week
which, along with the fact that the worldoad is heavy in order to cover the material,
suggests that it be a 4 credit course.
Does this course replicate the content of a previously approved course to such an extent
that students should not receive credit for both courses? If so, this should be noted in the
pre-requisite.

Behaviour modification strategies and their applications in risk reduction. health promotion.

Prerequisite: 60 units. including either HSCI 130 or KIN 140. Students who have
completed HSCI 401 prior to fall 2010 may not receive credit for,this course.
RATIONALE:
The Health Sciences BA program is shifting several courses around to set up a better
scaffolding system of prerequisites and upper division electives. This course is best
offered at a 300 level, as
it
provides basic content for subsequent courses. The revised
description better reflects the way this course is being taught. This HSCI 312 course will
be a prerequisite for the new HSCI 412 Health Communication course.
Does this course replicate the content of a previously approved course to such an extent that
students should not receive credit for both courses?
If
so, this should be noted in the pre-
requisite.
Since this is essentially the same course that has been taught until now as HSCI 40 1,
students should be able to receive credit for only one ofthern, either HSCI 401 or HSCI
312.

We are adding flexibility to the research segment of Honors Program. We are
reducing the units for HSCI 491 to 3, but adding two additional courses (HSCI 493-6

Students who obtain both a program and graduation GPA of 3.5 are eligible for the
designation first class.
Entry into the program requires sponsorship by a mentor from among Health Sciences
faculty and approval of the Undergraduate Studies Committee. Students must complete
at least 132 units and meet all the requirements for the major. Also required are 9 to 15
course credit hours for a research-based honors thesis carried out under the direction of
a faculty Supervisor, as follows:
HSCI 490-3 Research Proposal
HSC1491-3 Independent Research or HSCI 493-6 Extended Independent Research
HSCI 492-3 Honours Thesis
or
HSC1490-3 Research Proposal
HSCI 494-9 Independent Laboratory Research
HSCI 492-3 Honours Thesis
RATIONALE
The revised SSc curriculum has two streams. The Life Sciences stream has been
designed to give students a strong training
in core biological disciplines along with
foundation coursework addressing epidemiology and the social determinants of health.
In contrast, the Population and Quantitative Health Sciences stream focllses on
epidemiology and applied modeling for public health. The aim of the revised curriculum
is to provide a rigorous educational experience for
SSc majors and yield graduates with
a multidisciplinary perspective
on human health. The curriculum has been developed in
order to streamline students' progress from lower to upper division coursework, taking
into account the need for building fundamentals and enabling students to enroll in a wide
variety of advanced courses
in the upper division.
We are providing our undergraduate students with two options for completing their ethics
requirement for the major.
HSCI 319W will remain one option, and we are making an
existing course, HSCI 405, a second option for fulfilling this requirement. This will
facilitate
smaller class sizes (we currently have about 150 students taking the 319
course each semester) and more choice for students.
Experience with
SSc honors students has shown that we need greater flexibility in the
courses we require them to take to finish the thesis.
Some need a full semester of
laboratory work, and some less time for their independent research.
Students now have
the option, with
permiSSion of their supervisor, of completing their thesis work with 9, 12,
or 15 units, depending on the arrangement they make with their supervisor.

Program
A minimum CGPA of 3.00 on all relevant measures (CGPA, upper division grade point
average, Health Sciences major grade point average) is required for entry and must be
maintained for graduation with honors.
Students who obtain both a program and graduation
GPA of 3.5 are eligible for the
deSignation first class.
Entry into the program requires sponsorship by a mentor from among Health Sciences
faculty and approval of the Undergraduate
Studies Committee. Students must complete at
least 132 units and meet all the requirements for the major. Also required are 9 to 12 course
credit hours for a research-based honors thesis carried out under the direction of a faculty
Supervisor, as follows:
HSCI 490-3 Research Proposal
HSCI 491-3 Independent Research or HSCI 493-6 Extended Independent Research
HSCI 492-3 Honours Thesis
RATIONALE
The Health Sciences SA program is shifting several courses around to set up a better
scaffolding system of prerequisites and upper division electives. We are establishing HSCI
312 (previously HSCI 401) as a required course for all SA majors instead of the option of
HSCI 303 or HSCI 401. We do not antiCipate offering HSCI 303 every year, so this
streamlines our course offerings.
We are providing our undergraduate students with two options for completing their ethics
requirement for the major.
HSCI 319W will remain one option, and we are making an
existing course, HSCI 405, a second option for fulfilling this requirement. This will facilitate
smaller class sizes (we currently have about 150 stUdents taking the 319 course each
semester) and more choice for students.
Experience with
SA honors students in Health Sciences has shown that they do not need 15
units of work to finish the thesis, and some students need much less. Thus we are reducing
the maximum number
of units that a student can receive for their honors thesis work from 15
units. We are adding flexibility as well; students now have the option, with permission of their
supervisor,
of completing it with 9 or 12 units. The change describes the honors
requirements in more detail and addresses the reduction in number of credits for HSCI
honors courses.
