John Wood Community College Curriculum Committee met Nov. 8.
Here are the minutes provided by the committee:
The meeting convened at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, November 8, 2023. Present were Mr. Larry Fischer; trustee, Dr. Bryan Renfro; president, Dr. Shelley Barkley; Vice President of Academic & Student Affairs, Ms. Angela Greger; trustee (via zoom), and Kristina Johnson; note taker.
The committee discussed the recommendation for a name change in the Office Technology program. For consistency between the medical office degree and medical office certificate the proposed name change did not surpass. As a result, the course change will require input from the Office Technology advisory committee before submitting to the curriculum committee.
Another item on the agenda was the reactivation of the HOS 500 Hospitality Management AAS degree. The demand of the renewal was a result of workforce shortage in the field of study conveyed by GREDF and the advisory board. The hotel and restaurant industry recognized the need for this field of study. The degree is now, Hospitality and Culinary Management, combining lodging and restaurant management into one degree, offered at 64 credit hours. An outside consultant is currently assisting with organizing the curriculum.
Several catalog changes for the departments of Education, Computer Science, and Manufacturing were reviewed as well.
Meeting adjourned at 12:00 p.m.
