Requirements for Readmission
Catalog text revision, effective for Undergraduate Catalog 2016‐17
Pg. 11 of 2015‐16 Catalog
All previously enrolled EKU undergraduate students who have not attended Eastern Kentucky University
for a period longer than 24 months must apply and be approved for readmission to the University
before being allowed to continue taking classes. Effective Fall 2012, Students who wish to return to EKU,
who have an overall an institutional GPA that is equal to or greater than 1.0 1.5 but and less than a 2.0,
will return on Academic Probation status. These students will be assigned an academic coach in the
Office of University Advising, and will develop an academic success plan with their coach before being
allowed to register for classes. Continued enrollment is contingent upon adherence to their signed
academic success contract and meeting EKU Academic Standards Policy.
Students who wish to return to EKU but left with an institutional GPA of less than a 1.0 1.5 must appeal
for readmission through the Readmission Appeals Committee, in addition to submitting an application
for readmission to the Office of Admissions. The form and instructions for an appeal for readmission can
be found on the EKU Registrar’s website (http://www.registrar.eku.edu/Forms; Academic
Standing/Readmit Appeals Form). If the student’s appeal is approved he/she will be readmitted upon
submitting an application for readmission.
Both the application to the Office of Admissions, and the appeal to the Readmission Admissions Appeal
Committee may be submitted simultaneously. The Readmission Admissions Appeal Committee may
require an in‐person interview during the appeal consideration process. If their appeal to return to EKU
is approved these students will return on Academic Probation status. They will be assigned an academic
coach in the Office of University Advising, and will develop an academic success plan with their coach
before being allowed to register for classes. Continued enrollment is contingent upon adherence to their
signed academic success contract and meeting EKU Academic Standards Policy.
If a student has attended another institution since leaving EKU, and has been out of the University for
longer than 24 months, his/her return to EKU will be considered under the readmission guidelines above
instead of the student being considered a transfer student. Students who have received a
Developmental Dismissal must submit documentation (a transcript or official test scores) indicating that
proficiency has been earned for any needed developmental coursework before they may be readmitted
to the University. See the “Stopping Out” procedure in Section Four for additional information
CAA 10
Section Five - General Academic Information
ACADEMIC STANDARDS Academic Achievement Awards And Recognitions
Dean’s List: The dean’s list is one of several ways in which the University recognizes students who achieve academic excellence. The dean’s list is published after each regular standard (fall/spring/summer) semester. Eligibility requirements for the dean’s list are as follows:
Hours Attempted Earned with Regular Minimum Term GPA 12 3.75 12 3.65
14 or more 3.50
Students attempting earning fewer than 12 semester hours under the regular grading system are not eligible for the dean’s list. Courses below the 100 level will not be counted in determining eligibility for the Dean’s List.
Dean’s Award: As a further recognition of academic excellence, the University presents the Dean’s Award to students who have achieved the Dean’s List and/or the President’s Award (see below) three times. Students receiving the Dean’s award are presented with a recognition pin by the appropriate academic dean.
President’s Award: The highest recognition of academic achievement for a regular semester (fall/spring/summer) is the President’s Award. This award is given to students who complete a full time course load (minimum of 12 institutional credit hours earned) during a regular semester (fall/spring/summer), with normal grading (excluding developmental coursework), and who attain a 4.0 grade point average for that semester. Students receiving the President’s Award receive a letter of recognition from the President. In addition, the division of Public Relations and Marketing distributes the names of the recipients to appropriate news media, including their hometown newspaper.
Good Academic Standing
For the purposes of transferability, a student is considered to be in good academic standing at Eastern Kentucky University when that student maintains a grade point average that permits the student to re-enroll in the institution on a full-time basis and in the duly designated academic program.
Minimum Academic Standards Satisfactory Progress: Degree-seeking students shall be considered as making satisfactory
progress so long as they remain in good academic standing (2.0 cumulative GPA) and enroll in courses required or allowed in their chosen academic program.
Students having difficulty meeting academic standards are strongly advised to reduce or eliminate part-time jobs and other extracurricular activities which may detract from their studies, or to reduce the number of hours for which they are enrolled. To make timely progress toward degree students are expected to earn at least 15 credit hours per fall/spring semester
Good Academic Standing: Students are expected to maintain at least a 2.0 cumulative institutional grade point average (GPA) while enrolled at EKU. The actions described below pertain to students whose cumulative institutional GPA falls below 2.0. Once a student’s cumulative institutional GPA returns to 2.0 or above, he/she is once again in good academic standing.
Academic Probation: Students who earn a cumulative institutional GPA of less than 2.0 will be placed on Academic Probation after the close of that semester. While on academic probation, students may not enroll in more than 15 credit hours in either fall or spring terms or more than a total of six hours during a full (12-week) summer term. Students who are on Academic Probation and cease continuous enrollment, and subsequently wish to return to the institution, must apply for readmission and will be held to those readmission criteria (please refer to the Requirements for Readmission section of the Catalog).
Intervention for New First-Time Freshmen on Probation: Because a student’s academic performance in his/her first semester at EKU is predictive of overall success and graduation, EKU is increasing the support given to students whose institutional GPA is less than 2.0 at the end of the first semester. New first-time freshmen whose institutional GPA is less than 2.0 will be required to participate in prescribed intervention strategies and will be placed on First Semester Probation, with a requirement of earning an institutional 2.0 or higher term GPA in the second semester to prevent academic suspension.
Academic Suspension: At the end of a semester on academic probation, students must have earned a semester GPA of at least 2.0 or raised their cumulative institutional GPA to 2.0. Students not meeting the semester or cumulative GPA requirement will be placed on academic suspension. Students may not enroll in classes at EKU while academically suspended. Students who are academically suspended for the first time may not enroll in classes at EKU for one full semester (summer is counted with the next fall semester if a student is academically suspended at the end of the spring term). Students may be academically suspended up to three times during their academic career at EKU. The second academic suspension is for one calendar year and a third academic suspension is for two calendar years. An academically suspended student will return to EKU on academic probation if his/her cumulative institutional GPA is less than

Distinction” if they attain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.5, but less than 3.7, on all semester hours transferred to and attempted at Eastern Kentucky University and if they complete a minimum of 30 semester hours at Eastern Kentucky University.
Students earning an Associate Degree are graduated “With High Distinction” if they attain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.7 or higher on all semester hours transferred to and attempted at Eastern Kentucky University and if they complete a minimum of 30 semester hours at Eastern Kentucky University.
For purposes of honors recognition, all semester hours transferred to and attempted at Eastern Kentucky University - including those which are subsequently repeated or bankrupted - shall be included when calculating the GPA used to award academic honors. Because of timing, honors GPA calculations (solely for the purpose of recognition at the commencement ceremony) can not include the final semester’s course work. In- progress hours will be used to attempt to meet the 30 semester hours at Eastern Kentucky University requirement. Calculations for the permanent designation of honors on the diploma and transcript will include the final semester grades.
Baccalaureate Degree Honors Latin Honors: Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, Summa Cum Laude
Eastern Kentucky University recognizes graduating baccalaureate degree students who have achieved distinguished academic records by awarding their degree with Latin Honors. There are three levels of Latin Honors: Cum laude (“with praise”), Magna Cum laude (“with great praise”), and Summa Cum laude (“with highest praise”). All students earning Latin honors must take at least 25% their of degree applicable course work at Eastern Kentucky University.
All semester hours transferred to and attempted at Eastern Kentucky University (including those which are subsequently repeated or bankrupted) will be used in calculating each Latin Honor grade point average (GPA). Latin honors GPA calculation— for purposes of designating which students may wear a Latin Honors sash at the graduation commencement ceremony—does not include the final semester’s course work as these calculations occur weeks before the term has finished. Once a student’s final semester has concluded and final grades are available, these grades will be included in the calculations to award the permanent designation of Latin Honors on a student’s diploma and transcript. Cum Laude: Students earning Cum Laude must attain at least a cumulative GPA of at least 3.5, but less than a 3.7, on all semester hours transferred to and attempted at Eastern Kentucky University.

Additionally, a minimum of 25% of all degree applicable course work must be taken at Eastern Kentucky University. Summa Cum Laude: Students earning Summa Cum laude must attain at least a cumulative GPA of at least 3.9, or higher, on all
semester hours transferred to and attempted at Eastern Kentucky University. Additionally, a minimum of 25% of all degree applicable course work must be taken at Eastern Kentucky University.

44TProgram and Course Expectations This course is designed to reflect EKU’s Comprehensive Diversity Plan that “respects and celebrates diversity, which includes, but is not limited to race, ethnicity, religion, socio-economic status, gender, sexual orientation, disabilities, and cultural or national backgrounds, in pursuit of common unity.” Our University community respects and celebrates the diversity of peoples, seeks to embrace all individuals, and prohibits discrimination. Women and Gender Studies courses seek to deconstruct systems of oppression and power; thus, topics will help students develop a greater capacity for intellectual open-mindedness. Courses will immerse the students in the complexity of human differences and commonalities. Exploration, analysis, and application of complex identity issues characterize these courses. WGS courses emphasize the challenges that must be addressed to achieve just, equitable, and productive societies, and promote the development of skills necessary to work effectively with others from diverse identities and perspectives. Academic study of gender involves potentially controversial topics that might challenge your ideas, values, and beliefs. These moments should be viewed as learning experiences, and WGS courses encourage students to be open to these challenges with the intention of facilitating their own intellectual and social growth. Diversity of opinions in the classroom will create a more dynamic learning environment, and course grades will be based on your critical thinking, not on your personal viewpoints. Please note: Films and other media used in the course may contain thought-provoking and potentially controversial material. The instructor and the class will discuss how the material is germane to overall course goals and topics. To ensure an optimal learning environment, the following behaviors are expected from all members of the class:
1. Think through your comments before you make them. 2. Make comments to the entire group and not to the person(s) near you. 3. Never make derogatory comments toward another person in the class. 4. Disagree with ideas, but do not make personal attacks. 5. Be open to be challenged or confronted on your ideas or prejudices. 6. Challenge and confront others with the intent of facilitating growth, not to demean others. 7. Encourage others to speak up. Be especially encouraging of people who are working through
their prejudices and attempting to grow as critical thinkers. 8. Be open to change. 9. See also Part 4 of the EKU Student Handbook:0T 0T34Thttp://studentaffairs.eku.edu/studenthandbook34T

SYLLABUS (Also available on Blackboard) Department of Justice Studies CRJ 430 - Crime and the Economy 3 Credits Instructor: Greg Ferrell Office: Stratton 405 Telephone 859-622-1010 E-mail: [email protected] Office Hours: Monday 5-6pm Tuesday/Thursday 8am-9am and 1:00-2:00 pm I am always available by appointment Required Texts: Steven Messner & Richard Rosenfeld. Crime and the American Dream. (2013). 5th ed. Wadsworth Publishing Jeffrey Reiman. The Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Prison. (2013). 10th ed. Allyn and Bacon. Website http://www.paulsjusticepage.com/reiman.htm Additional Readings: Will be placed on online at EKU Blackboard or handed out in class. Course Catalogue Description: Examines the economic ethos of capitalism as it contributes to crime. Demonstrate the effects of cultural aspirations and structural barriers that create a criminogenic society. Interpret inherent socio-economic bias in CRJ system. Student Learning Outcomes:
Through classroom discussions and written assignments, students will be able to demonstrate knowledge gained about how the American ethos of production and consumption contributes to the American crime problem.
Students will be able to evaluate the current research on the nature and extent of crime in the United States as it pertains to the growing economic gap between the rich and the poor.
Students will be able to describe, through class participation and written assignments, how the criminal justice system is blatantly biased against the poor and favorable to the rich.
Course Requirements and Grading: Exams: There will be a total of two exams (Mid-Term and Final) during the semester. The format for these exams will be primarily short answer and essay. We will review one week prior to the exam dates and no make up exams will be given. 100pts for each exam. Total 200 pts. Writing Assignments: During the semester, you will asked to complete 3 brief (1-3 page) reaction papers on a video/article that assign in class. These 3 papers will be announced in class and will be due one week later. 50 pts each. Total 150 pts. Class Participation: Because of the nature of this particular class, participation will be a major component of your requirements. The nature of college is to become engaged in your education,
CAA 64
and as such, I will have a class participation component to my evaluation of the students. Therefore, you will be expected to be prepared for class and participate in classroom discussions of the material. Quizzes may become part of class participation 100 pts Total points possible: 450 A = 90 - 100% B = 89 – 80% C = 79 – 70% D = 69 – 60% F = 59% and below Class Policies Missed/Late Assignments and Exams: Students are required to take the exams on the days they are scheduled and complete the writing assignments when they are due. There is no makeup for assignments and exams unless you demonstrate in advance (and I agree) that a significant life-event prevents you from attending class or if you have a documented emergency. The following are not acceptable excuses: scheduled flights or trips, scheduled non-emergency doctor appointments, job interviews, picking up a relative at the airport, taking a friend somewhere, etc. If you schedule something during a class when you are to turn in an assignment or take an exam, you will get a zero for that grade. Legitimate excuses for missed assignments include a (documented) personal illness, a death in the family, and participation in university activities. If you have any questions, please refer to the undergraduate catalogue. Excuses should be given to me the day you return to class. Returning to class without a legitimate excuse will result in a zero for that exam or assignment. Attendance: Students need to attend all class meetings. Students are expected to attend class as well as participate in class discussions. Further, given the fact that participation contributes to your final grade, attendance is required and will be taken regularly. Attendance will be taken each class period, and excessive absences will result in lower class participation grades. Your performance in class is highly correlated with classroom attendance. Therefore, we will have a class attendance requirement. If you do not miss any classes and you are two percentage points from the next highest grade, you will receive the higher grade. If you miss 1 to 2 classes, your final letter grade will be the grade your score reflects. So, if you earn a B and miss 2 classes, your grade will be B. Additionally, if you miss 3 or more classes you will automatically fail this participation portion of the course, which is 22.2% of your final grade. It is my hope that you will attend class regularly, keep up with the readings, and come to class prepared to discuss the material. The format for this class relies upon your participation, so you must attend class in order to participate. Class Participation: You will note from the syllabus that class participation is 22.2% of your grade in this course. The grading criteria for the class participation component of the course are explained below. This explanation should prevent any misunderstandings at the end of the semester.
A B C/D F Peer Interaction
Actively supports, engage, and listens to peers.
Makes a sincere effort to interact with peers.
Limited interaction with peers.
Virtually no interaction with peers
CAA 65
Preparation
Arrives fully prepared at every class session
Arrives mostly, if not fully prepared
Preparation is inconsistent
Rarely or never prepared
Participation
Plays an active role in discussions
Participates constructively in discussions
When prepared participates constructively in discussions
Comments vague if given; frequently demonstrates lack of interest
Contribution to Class
Comments advance level and depth of dialogue
Relevant comments are based on assigned material
When prepared, relevant comments are based on assignments
Demonstrates a noticeable lack of interest on occasion
I measure class participation based on the following criteria: arriving to class on time; paying attention during short lectures; attentive watching and listening to screenings of films, songs, or other media; respectful listening when I or your peers are speaking; your ability to be fully engaged in your learning without texting, checking your phone or email, or participating in other digital distractions; your ability to stay awake, etc. If you are unable to meet the above criteria, I will take away participation points throughout the semester. Keep in mind you start the semester with ALL your points, so don’t lose them. Classroom Civility: Each of us comes into this class with different backgrounds and different opinions about crime and criminals. Our worldviews or perspectives may or may not be shared by others in the class. Some may be totally opposed to our position. Therefore, we should treat each other with respect and dignity with regard to our opinions. Any behavior or language that is disrespectful to me or the other students will be dealt with immediately. Excessive tardiness, sleeping, not paying attention, cell phones, beepers, or rude behavior, in general will not be tolerated. Also, no Food in Class without my prior approval .With that being said, I hope that we can have a productive and fun semester. Class Content: Please be aware that this course, as well as many other CRJ/PLS courses may contain material that has violent or highly graphic sexual content that some may find disturbing. Please feel free to contact the instructor for more information. Classroom Communication: Communication between the professor and students is absolutely necessary and an important component of learning. Therefore, I expect each student to come to me immediately when they have a question or concern about anything related to the class. So, the purpose of my office hours is to sit and meet with students that have a concern. Also, I am often here in my office not during my posted office hours with the door closed. Please knock. This is the preferred method of communication – face to face. The second preferred method of communication is via the telephone. So, call my office and you can leave a message. The least preferred method of communication is via email. While this is the most convenient method, it comes with some of the most problems. Here is a list of email considerations/policies:
CAA 66
1. Read the syllabus. Often, the question you would like to ask has already been answered in the material the professor has provided at the beginning of class. 2. Make sure email is really the best way to communicate your issue. Email is often much more time consuming than an actual conversation. 3. Use your university email. This marks the message as legitimate and not spam. It also gives the professor an idea of who's sending the message. 4. Always use subject lines. When filling the subject line, make sure that you mention what the email is for or in regards to. This would be a good place to put your class information. Your professor may not know which class you are enrolled in. 5. Always use a greeting. Do not begin with "Hey" or similar colloquialisms. Generally speaking, you should use "Dear Professor Last-name." 6. Be Polite. 7. Be Succinct. 8. Be Specific. 9. Sign it with your name and your student ID number. 10. Grammar and Spell check. Prior to sending your email, be sure that you proofread your message. You shouldn't write your email as though you are texting your friend. Make sure it's got full sentences, proper grammar, and real spelling. DON'T USE TEXTING ABBREVIATIONS OR JARGON. 11. Use the words "please" and "thank you"--they really help and are universally appreciated. 12. Try to contact a peer first if the purpose of your email is to find out what you missed when absent. 13. Recognize that requests that may take only a few seconds to write and send may take much longer to fulfill. If you want a grade calculated, or a full breakdown of what you missed during an absence, or anything else that may be labor intensive, then offer to come to office hours if the professor prefers. 14. Leave enough time for a response. Some professors do not work on campus every day and may not have Internet access at home, so you may need to wait a few days. 15. Follow up. If more than a few days have passed and you have not gotten a response, then it is appropriate to politely ask if the professor received your email and had time to consider what you wrote. It may be more effective to follow up by phone or by an office visit. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, so don't be afraid to speak up or send a reminder. *The professor will only respond to and accept emails during weekdays between the hours of 7am to 8pm. The professor will disregard emails sent over the weekend or not during the appropriate time period listed above. There should be nothing that is that time sensitive to send not during those days and times. Use of Mobile Devices, Laptops, etc. During Class As research on learning shows, unexpected noises and movement automatically divert and capture people's attention, which means you are affecting everyone’s learning experience if your cell phone, pager, laptop, etc. makes noise or is visually distracting during class. For this reason, I will strictly enforce the following policy: 1. Turn off your mobile devices and close your laptops during class. 2. You may not take notes on your laptop. Recording of Class Lectures: No student may record any classroom activity without express written consent from me. If you have (or think you may have) a disability such that you need to record or tape classroom
CAA 67
activities, you should contact the Office of Services for Individuals with Disabilities to request an appropriate accommodation. Academic Integrity Students are advised that EKU's Academic Integrity Policy will be strictly enforced in this course. The Academic Integrity policy is available at http://www.academicintegrity.eku.edu/. This statement is applicable to all EKU students in all courses regardless of whether it appears in the class syllabus.
Questions regarding the policy may be directed to the Office of Academic Integrity.
Disability Accommodations
A student with a "disability" may be an individual with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities such as learning, seeing or hearing. Additionally, pregnancy or a related medical condition that causes a similar substantial limitation may also be considered a disability under the ADA.
If you are registered with the Office of Services for Individuals with Disabilities, please obtain your accommodation letters from the OSID and present them to the course instructor to discuss any academic accommodations you need. If you believe you need accommodation and are not registered with the OSID, please contact the office in the Whitlock Building Room 361 by email at [email protected] or by telephone at (859) 622-2933. Upon individual request, this syllabus can be made available in an alternative format.

B. The justification for this action: While the state of Kentucky uses an approach to Response to Intervention (RtI) called the Kentucky System of Intervention to provide the structures needed for closing achievement gaps, ensuring readiness to learn and guiding students smoothly from preschool through post-secondary transitions that lead to learning success, there is currently no course in the EKU undergraduate or graduate programs that addresses an introduction to the framework for Response to Intervention (RtI). This course will enhance Option A for MAED in Special Education in both LBD and IECE.
C. The projected cost (or savings) of this proposal is as follows:
Personnel Impact: No impact.
Operating Expenses Impact: No impact.

Attendance Policy Attendance in this online class cannot be stressed enough! We are a class of learners even if we are not sitting in the same room. Your discussions and various posting throughout the term will amount to your “attendance” and we all learn from one another; please, be prepared to keep up! EQUITY AND INCLUSION: All written, graphic, and aural communications must conform to guidelines for non-sexist and non-racist language. Except where otherwise customary (such as Deaf community terminology), students are expected to use person-first language when speaking of or writing about students with disabilities (e.g., student with a learning disability, NOT an LD student), and never use demeaning terms such as retarded. Students should avoid terminology that objectifies human beings as entities of pity, such as wheelchair-bound, confined to a wheelchair, or suffers from a disability. Also, avoid using “-ic” at the end of any term (e.g., child with autism, diabetes, allergies, instead of autistic, diabetic, allergic).

Data Catchers To demonstrate your understanding and ability to apply the content of this course, you will be required to complete weekly data catchers (a form of graphic organizers) for each week’s readings and website reviews. Data catchers are meant to demonstrate your understanding of the course materials, so they should be a summary of what you are learning (not direct quotes) – these are not meant to capture everything you’ve learned, just the key facts that you can use in your teaching practice. It is assumed that you are using course materials in the data catchers (not copying from other websites or books), so you do not need to use APA style for citations and references unless you use other materials. If you use other materials, you will need to use APA style. Because we are meeting online, it is imperative that you demonstrate your understanding in writing – the more you share, the more I can see evidence of your learning! Assignments 1-3 – Analyzing and applying what you have learned
Assignment 1: RTI and interventions – a Review of the literature Assignment 2: RTI Implementation Review and Plan Assignment 3: Professional Development Presentation of Behavior Interventions in the
RTI Tiers All Assignment details and links are provided in the Assignments section of Bb. Assignments will take more than an hour to prepare – please review the guidelines in plenty of time to prepare and review needed materials. All assignments must follow the Assignments guidelines found in the Syllabus. Any assignment (which includes wikis, discussion board posts, and the final exam) that is late will result in a minimum “fine” of 10:% per day after the deadline.
Discussion Board Guidelines You are expected to make substantive postings to the discussion board. To ensure a robust discussion, initial posts need to be completed by Wednesday of each week, and responses to peers need to be completed by Sunday. A "substantive posting" means that you show you are thinking about what was said by others. It means that you must post more than "I agree with Charlie!" In order to receive full credit, discuss the topic in detail or elaborate on another’s response. Generally, I am looking for 2 things: First, I want to see that you are answering the questions completely. There are usually two to three parts to the discussion thread. If there are two or more parts, I expect you to answer all of them. Second, I am looking to see that you are applying the information read in the book. The best way is to reference the book or video using appropriate APA formatting. You need references in each initial post for full credit. In your responses to peers, I’m looking for you to extend the conversation by: posing questions, sharing additional resources, sharing a personal experience from your own teaching. In your discussion board posts, remember to use professional language, address each other with respect, and maintain confidentiality (no student or fellow teacher names – use pseudonyms in all cases). I will also be posting comments and questions on Discussion Board. Be sure to read and respond to posts from me and your peers (in other
CAA 86
Rev 1.0 July 17, 2013
words, engage in back and forth dialogue where we share ideas and resources). If you are citing materials from our text or a website, be sure to give the reference (books need to use APA style, for websites, you can cut and paste the link). Final Exam The final exam will be cumulative, and will involve both direct knowledge and application questions. It is based directly on the course objectives found in this syllabus, and will be open the last two weeks of the course. Student Progress: You will be provided with feedback on all exams and written assignments via your grade book in the course Bb site. Your point totals will be posted to the blackboard grade book as the class progresses. There will be no change to final grades after posting at the end of the semester. It is your responsibility to check your point total throughout the term and notify the instructor if you see a problem with the points posted. Remember to compare the total number of points earned with the grading scale listed above Course Outline: An outline indicated subject matter and approximate time schedule. You may use the example below as a guide. Eight-week, summer, or alternatively scheduled courses should be indicated.

A new academic program is a program not previously offered at an institution or one that was previously offered but has been suspended for five or more years or has been closed. Major academic program modifications refer to significant changes in the program’s purpose and curriculum such that a different CIP code more accurately describes the revised program. Separation of an academic program into two programs and the combination of two existing programs into one program constitute major academic program modifications.

Program Proposal
PART I A. Centrality to the Institution’s Mission and Consistency with State’s Goals
1. Provide a brief description of the program. Describe concentration (if master’s)
This graduate program in game design is a two year program that focuses on the study of design and development of games. Students in the program will learn Game Design, Game Production, Writing, Technical Art, and Media Composition. Graduates from the program will be employed in industry as game designers, developers, artists, producers, scholars, and critics.
2. List the objectives of the proposed program. These objectives should deal with the specific institutional and societal needs that this program will address.
a. The first objective of the proposed program is to prepare our students to develop and publish games in entertainment, education, and other serious contexts.
b. The second objective is to increase the competitiveness of our students in the worldwide video game industry. Through practice, mentoring, and networking our students will create and publish games and be prepared to work in the highly completive industry.
c. The third objective is to promote a culture of game design and expression using electronic delivery. Providing master’s level game design instruction will lead to new opportunities for graduates in our service region (and beyond) to develop new methods for creative expression. Basing the delivery of this content on the Internet will greatly expand the audience of the work.
d. The fourth object is to encourage economic growth through entrepreneurial efforts. These forms of expression (video games, apps, etc…) will have a direct economic impact on our region by allowing our students to sell their products through existing app stores.
3. Explain how the objectives support the institutional mission and strategic priorities, the statewide postsecondary
education strategic agenda, and the statewide strategic implementation plan.
The proposed program is consistent with EKU’s mission as a school of opportunity to foster personal
growth and prepare students to contribute to success and vitality of their communities, the
Commonwealth, and the world. While providing access, equal opportunity, dignity, respect, and
inclusion for all people, as integral to a learning environment in which intellectual creativity and
diversity thrives.

1: Fostering Personal Growth: The program will prepare students for careers in game design by providing a comprehensive curriculum on the foundations of theory of game design while requiring students to continually practice designing games in studios. Extensive team‐based learning and studio work, finally culminating in a published game title, will prepare our students for seamless transition into both large and small sectors of the game industry. By combining innovative team‐based learning and practice with real‐world economic incentives, we propose to position EKU as a premier university in game education. Students will work on teams with other students from diverse backgrounds.
2: Preparing Students to Contribute: Being the only graduate degree program in game development in
the state, the program will meet a need for formal training in the rapidly growing markets related to
games. The program will directly address the stewardship of place by allowing our students to better
themselves economically while expressing their ideas and opinions through games and interactive
media. Students will release their games for public sale and graduate with at least one game for sale in
multiple markets. Graduates will be prepared to work at existing studio, start their own studios, and
teach game design at the P‐16 levels. Game development is the largest single sector of the
entertainment industry, yet, there are no professional degrees related to the subject in the state.
3: Providing an accessible and inclusive environment for creative and diverse expression: To develop a
successful game, its designer must be able given the opportunity to express their ideas without fear of
discrimination or censorship. To give students practice of working in an inclusive environment they will
analyze and critique existing games, create new games, and work to effectively communicate their ideas
to the player. We seek to extend the success of our undergraduate concentration in interactive
multimedia (Kentucky’s first game design focused degree) with a Master’s degree that will attract a
more diverse set of students while providing extensive training and practice in game design through this
proposed terminal degree.
The proposed program also supports the statewide postsecondary education strategic agenda. By
providing students with assistance to publish games developed during their final year of coursework,
our students releasing a successful game will receive income at graduation from sales of their game.
This provides both “institution and student incentives to increase high‐quality degree production and
completion rates” (4.2). Our program will “Promote student engagement, undergraduate research,
internships, and other educational opportunities that improve the quality of the student experience,
develop leaders, and lead to success after graduation” (4.6) by giving students real‐world game
production experience. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of game design, our students will collaborate
with numerous with various STEM disciplines as well as others supporting 6.5. This program will
specifically seek to “foster an innovative, creative, and entrepreneurial culture” (6.6) in our students.
We will also work with independent game developers in our region supporting 7.1.

B. Program Quality and Student Success
1. What are the intended student learning outcomes of the proposed program?
Students completing this program will demonstrate the ability to: 1. Use game engines and game development tools to complete the development of a game and all
its assets; 2. Develop prototypes to test gameplay mechanics; 3. Write complete game design documentation 4. Define and implement a feasible production schedule and costs for a game; 5. Develop sports, tabletop and other non‐digital games 6. Develop digital games on various deployments from installations to handheld and consoles. 7. Evaluate performance of design patterns in games; 8. Use software packages to measure game performance and player skill; 9. Write valid critique of game design choices;
2. Identify both the direct and indirect methods by which the intended student learning outcomes will be assessed. a. Students will be assessed using three courses (INF 711, INF712, INF810). b. Exit assessment tools will be used to measure student success. c. Post-graduation Production: Alumni will be surveyed on the new games they have developed, economic
impact the titles released, and other activities such as teaching and community-involvement will be addressed.
3. How will the program support or be supported by other programs within the institution?
a. This program will directly support the BS in Computer Science concentration in Interactive Multimedia. MFA students will serve as lab instructors and graders in undergraduate courses(CSC140, CSC315, CSC316, CSC491) as well as engage in activities, such as game jams, with our undergraduate students. This concentration now has over 100 students enrolled, and by adding GAs with game design expertise we will be able to increase the number of sections offered in the undergraduate courses.
4. Will this program replace or enhance any existing program(s) or tracks, concentrations, or specializations within an
existing program? Yes or No No.
5. Will this be a distance learning program? No. If so, please indicate the anticipated percentage of the program for each of the following (can total more than 100%). _____Online _____Hybrid _____ITV _____Offered at a site other than Richmond
6. Will this program utilize alternative learning formats (e.g. distance learning, technology‐enhanced instruction, evening/weekend classes, accelerated courses)? No.
If yes, please check all that apply.
CAA 96

_____Courses that combine various modes of interaction, such as face‐to‐face, videoconferencing, audio‐conferencing, mail, telephone, fax, e‐mail, interactive television, or World Wide Web? _____Technology‐enhanced instruction _x___Evening/weekend/early morning classes _____Accelerated courses _____Instruction at nontraditional locations, such as employer worksite _____Courses with multiple entry, exit, and reentry points _____Courses with “rolling” entrance and completion times, based on self‐pacing _____Modularized courses
7. Are new or additional faculty needed? Please provide a plan to ensure that appropriate faculty resources are available, either within the institution or externally, to support the program.
Note whether they will be part‐time or full‐time. A new full‐time faculty member will be needed at the start of this program to teach key aspects of the program in game design. This faculty member will initially be responsible for teaching all sections of INF 711 and INF 811. This individual will also be responsible for teaching some sections of INF 810 and INF 712. This first faculty position will be filled by an individual with extensive industry experience. During the 3rd year of the program we request another full‐time faculty position which will be needed as studio classes increase in size and of facilitate offering special topic courses. This faculty member will have extensive academic experience in game design. Both faculty members will mentor students and maintain a close connection with local and global industry.
C. Program Demand/Unnecessary Duplication
1. Provide justification and evidence to support the need and demand for this proposed program. Include any data on student demand; career opportunities at the local, state, and national levels; and any changes or trends in the discipline(s) that necessitate a new program.
Kentucky has seen tremendous growth in the game development sector in just the past 5 years, there are now over 20 developers in the state and this number is growing rapidly. Moreover, the barriers for entry are very low. An individual, spending less than $1000 can publish a game for sale on Apple’s App Store, Google’s Play Store, and Amazon’s Appstore and nearly instantly start receiving revenue from sales of those apps. However, publishing a game that people want to purchase and play take knowledge and practice. We have surveyed 41 individuals (current students, alumni, and independent game developers), 20 of the respondents reported positively when asked if they would enroll in a MFA in Game Design at EKU.
The video game industry has seen tremendous growth and new sectors such as independent game development have led to new opportunities in the field. CNN Money/Payscale ranked “video game designer” as 2 out of 100 best jobs in America in 2015. The Median pay is $79,900 and there is an estimated 10‐year job growth of 19%. As also reported in the same story, “The industry is relatively new, so it's still a very innovative field." (http://money.cnn.com/gallery/pf/2015/01/27/best‐jobs‐2015/2.html) On September 1st, 2015, Forbes columnist Bernard Marr called gamification a technology trend that will make or break many careers: “Gamification is going to move into more and more realms of our life not so much because it’s the hot new thing, but because it’s psychologically proven to work. Companies like Microsoft are using gamification to motivate their sales force, while other entities are using it in education and personal development. The opportunities in this arena are growing all the time.”(

Companies focused on healthcare, insurance, human resources, and education are all investing heavily on building game design expertise.
2. Specify any distinctive qualities of the program.
This program will apply a cohort based admission policy where applicants will be chosen based on academic
excellence and existing skill sets. It is crucial that students work on teams to develop games and experience the
intricacies of team work in a game development environment. For the last year of the program, we will also
propose introducing a residential incubator program utilizing a new dorm with high‐speed internet access.
This program will be the first in the nation that will require students to release a game for sale at the end of the 4th
semester of study. We will provide staff support to students, through a new business development manager, who
will have extensive industry experience in marketing and releasing games. The game industry is highly
competitive, but also flooded with candidates without real‐world experience. By giving our students a released
title on their portfolio, we can give them a great advantage over the competition while also giving them an
opportunity to receive revenue at the time of graduation. Therefore, our graduates will have the choice of
working for themselves as an entrepreneurial independent game developer or apply for positions in other studios.
EKU will continue to take the lead in Kentucky’s higher education game design programs. This includes working
closely with local independent game designers. In May 2015, over 15 developers from around the region came to
campus for an all‐day exhibition of games and developer meetup. We are the only school in the region hosting this
type of activity and it puts any new program we develop at a great advantage.
3. Are there existing programs in the state? No.
a. Does the proposed the proposed program differ from existing programs? If yes, please explain.
b. Does the proposed program serve a different student population (i.e. students in a different geographic area) from existing programs?
If yes, please explain. c. Is access to existing programs limited?
If yes, please explain. d. Is the excess demand for existing similar programs?
If yes, please explain. e. Will there be collaboration between the proposed program and existing programs? Yes.
Please explain the collaborative arrangement with existing programs. Graduate Assistants in the MFA program will serve as instructors and graders in the undergraduate BS in computer science concentration courses in interactive multimedia.

Narrative Explanation/Justification: Games developed as team projects in INF 812 (Game Design Thesis) will be published through the EKU Gaming Institute. Per agreement, EKU will participate in a 50/50 revenue sharing with student developers. Assuming an average 33,333 purchases of each game at $1 (assume 70% of total sales will return due to app store agreements), at the beginning of the 3rd year, with 3 student games will be released. This would lead to 66,667 total downloads for 1st year of a game’s release. We assume that games will sell an average of 33,333 for the 1st 2 years of release and half of the previous year’s amount for the rest of its commercial life.
