- Recommendation from Academic Affairs to Establish Criteria for Certificates Offered by Professional Programs (Exhibit C ) as follows:
TO: Ken Struckmeyer, Executive Secretary Faculty Senate
FROM: Becky Bitter, Sr. Assistant Registrar, Registrar’s Office
DATE: 24 January 2013
SUBJECT: Proposal to Establish Criteria for Professional Program Certificates
At the meeting on January 23, 2013, the Academic Affairs Committee approved the attached proposal to establish criteria that would allow the College of Veterinary Medicine and the College of Pharmacy to develop and submit proposals for official certificates within their programs.
Currently, criteria for official certificates exist only for the undergraduate and graduate career. AAC agreed that neither the undergraduate nor the graduate criteria is suitable for students in the professional programs.
At this time, Faculty Senate review and approval is recommended, to be effective fall 2013.
M E M O R A N D U M
TO: Craig Parks, Chair of Academic Affairs Committee
FROM: Lisa Devine, Assistant Registrar
DATE: October 12, 2102
SUBJECT: Proposal for a new “Professional Certificate Program”
At the meeting on October 11, 2012, the Catalog Sub Committee reviewed and approved the proposal from the Colleges of Pharmacy and Veterinary Medicine to create a new “Professional Certificate Program” as follows:
Rationale for development of Professional Certificate Programs at Washington State University
Certificate programs exist for both undergraduate and graduate students at Washington State University. Underlying rationale for certificate programs at each of these educational levels involves, in part, adding a dimension of focused study that leads to formal documentation of attaining expertise that is more restricted than, but complementary to, the traditional undergraduate or graduate degrees. Although Washington State University offers degrees at the undergraduate, graduate and professional levels of education, currently there is no category of certificate recognition for students at the professional level.
The proposal contained herein seeks to remedy this lack of Professional Certificate Programs by providing a general description that will serve as a foundation for developing such programs at Washington State University.
Currently, there are two recognized professional programs that lead to doctorate degrees at Washington State University; one leading to the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and the other leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy. Professional programs have as a major goal, to provide the educational training of students who graduate with the knowledge, skills and attributes that meet the expectations for practicing professionals in each of the respective disciplines. The programs prepare students to successfully meet licensure requirements for the respective professions, and secondarily, to fill many roles in academia, government, industry and other roles in society. Each program is accredited by an independent body (D.V.M., American Association of Veterinary Medicine-Council on Education; Pharm. D., Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education) that sets standards for each program and provides oversight to ensure that standards are met. Collectively, the foregoing considerations set the professional programs apart from both undergraduate and graduate programs.
Consequently, while the proposed design of professional certificate programs may parallel characteristics of certificate programs for undergraduate and/or graduate students, foundational characteristics of certificate programs for professional students will include features related to unique characteristics of professional programs. It is important to recognize that each professional program also has unique features with respect to one another.
For context, the general description proposed for Professional Certificate Programs derived most decidedly from the description for Graduate Certificate Programs. Nevertheless, distinct modifications were required in relation to features that uniquely characterize one or more professional programs. For instance, courses in the DVM program are graded satisfactory, marginal or fail (S/F/M) and courses from this curriculum will heavily contribute to Professional Certificate Programs stemming from the DVM Program. In addition, the PharmD curriculum anticipates moving to a grading model of honors, satisfactory, and fail (H/S/F) fall 2013. Like the planning within veterinary medicine, this PharmD coursework would be foundational for Professional Certificate Programs associated with the College of Pharmacy. Likewise, for both professional programs, some courses that will contribute to a certificate may be presented in collaboration with other institutions (e.g. the University of Washington or University of Idaho) and graded satisfactory or fail (S/F). We believe that such grading is acceptable in relation to the goals anticipated for many of the Professional Certificate Programs.
Another example of departure from Graduate Certificate Programs is that a limited number of 300 level credits would be allowable for Professional Certificate Programs. This allowance is considered important to support the development of student competencies in the broadest and most flexible manner. The proposed number of credits needed for a Professional Certificate Program (12-15) compensates for this allowance, by comparison to the Graduate Certificate Programs set at 9-12.
We believe that establishment of Professional Certificate Programs will address an important gap that currently exists in developing educational opportunities and documenting specialized expertise that can be gained at Washington State University. The proposed description of guidelines for Professional Certificate Programs that follows will lay a foundation to help fill that gap, while taking into account features of professional programs that uniquely characterize these programs.
Please see accompanying emails from Linda MaClean, Associate Dean for the PharmD program. She indicated that there was agreement on the proposed program from the leadership in the College of Pharmacy.
Professional Certificate Programs
Washington State University offers professional certificate programs for a variety of reasons:
- Certificate programs often provide a more flexible response to an emerging societal need for specialized education.
- Certificate programs may serve as a recruitment method for students who first enroll in a certificate program, and then, upon successful completion, decide that they wish to continue with a related graduate degree program.
- Certificate programs may provide an opportunity for a discipline, or an inter-disciplinary group, to take their first steps in offering graduate-level programming.
- Certificate programs provide the opportunity for students to develop an expertise that may help in career advancement or changing careers.
- Certificate programs allow faculty the opportunity to assess professional student performance at an advanced level prior to formal admission to a master’s or doctoral program.
- Certificate programs may develop a new revenue stream for the university and faculty.
Formal professional certificates convey that students have developed mastery of course material. Requirements for the Professional Certificate may vary with Department or Program, but typically consist of 12-15 credits of coursework. Once admitted as a professional student and accepted into a professional certificate program, the student can take professional certificate courses and must maintain acceptable academic standing which supports regular progression in the professional program. Certain Professional Certificate Programs may be available to graduates of relevant professional programs. This possibility is contingent on the design of each Professional Certificate Program.
Professional Certificate Program Criteria
To qualify as a formal professional certificate program, the program must conform to existing academic standards and to existing policies outlined for respective professional degree programs, including the following:
- Professional certificate programs must use approved undergraduate, graduate or professional coursework, with no more than one-third of the coursework being at the undergraduate (300-400), level, inclusive of no more than three credits of (300) level courses.
- A prospective student must have completed all prerequisites necessary to take professional certificate program coursework.
- Professional courses applicable to professional certificates that are graded S/M/F, H/S/F or S/F, with no more than three credits of S/F, can be applied toward meeting course requirements of a professional certificate. Receipt of a grade less than satisfactory (S) is unacceptable for these courses. A course in which a grade of less than S is earned must be repeated with a satisfactory performance. The repeated receipt of grades less than S in courses graded S/M/F, H/S/F or S/F constitutes grounds for dismissal from the certificate program. For courses graded A-F, a minimum grade point average of 3.0 must be maintained.
- The maximum time allowed for completion of a certificate is 4 years from the beginning date of the earliest course applied toward the certificate. Students may request an extension of this time, based on criteria pertaining to completion of the relevant professional program.
- Requirements regarding WSU tenured/tenure-track status and critical mass for faculty supporting the certificate program are the same as those required for degree programs.
- A certificate fee may be assessed at the time of completion of the certificate.

Thanks so much, Doug. Some of us had talked about certificate programs philosophically, so your timing on this is excellent. I would like to see pharmacy partner with you on this and will have the chance to provide information to the leadership team about this on Thursday. I should be able to contact you on Friday via email or phone, although I will be at a meeting in Cincinnati.
Kind regards,
Linda

Hi Linda,
I received feedback from Marc Evans on the proposal for “Professional Certificate Programs” and it is encouraging. I do not know if there are plans to develop certificate programs in your college. Either way, I look forward to receiving your comments.
Thanks, Doug

Subject: RE: Professional Certificate Program Dear Doug,
My first thought is that pharmacy should partner in this endeavor. I could see us taking advantage of the opportunity to offer certificates to practicing US pharmacists, international practicing pharmacists, international pharmacy schools and enrolled WSU PharmD students in a couple of strategic areas eventually. I have made some edits that more fully incorporate pharmacy into the proposal. I have not vetted this with our leadership team, but have copied them on this communication. I wanted to provide some initial feedback to you as soon as possible in light of the communication from Marc Evans (leadership team, I will forward that communication to you as well). We should be able to discuss this at our meeting on Thursday this week, so I will plan to correspond with you after that, Doug.
Kind regards,
Linda

TO: Ken Struckmeyer, Executive Secretary Faculty Senate
FROM: Becky Bitter, Registrar’s Office
FOR: Academic Affairs Committee
DATE: 24 January 2013
SUBJECT: Proposal to Establish a New Grading Basis for the College of Pharmacy
At its meeting on January 23, 2013, AAC approved the attached proposal from the College of Pharmacy to establish a new grading basis of H, S, F, where H stands for Honors.
AAC understands that this grading basis is consistent with the grading basis for Pharmacy schools nationally.
At this time, Faculty Senate review and approval is recommended, to be effective fall 2013.

Dear Faculty Senate Members:
I would like to take this opportunity to support the transition to a curricular grading model of ‘Honors/Satisfactory/Fail’ for the WSU College of Pharmacy PharmD program.
As Director of our pharmacy residency program at Providence St. Peter Hospital, I have seen a similar transition from other institutions where residency candidates have completed requirements for their PharmD degrees with a pass/fail model. Our pharmacy resident applicant pool completes an application packet including many components (letters of recommendation, letter of intent, CV, on-line application, and transcripts). The details of these packets are considered by a large preceptor team, and this group has stated that they put very little weight on the specifics of GPA and transcript variations. We ask that our preceptors interview our resident candidates with “the best total fit” in mind, versus attention to details of their transcripts. The proposed transition is supported by evidence in the literature, relative to support of collaboration amongst students.
This new model supports our residency program and what we strive for in challenging our residents to perform above and beyond the confines of a grading scale. I support this change and agree with the evidence that it will result in increased group cohesion and in my opinion it will not alter their ability to obtain a desired residency position. Please feel free to contact me at the number listed above if you have any questions or would like any additional information.
Sincerely,
Julie R. McCoy, Pharm.D.

SUBJECT: Proposal to Change the Name of the Department of Marketing to the Department of Marketing and International Business
At its meeting on January 23, 2013, AAC reviewed and approved the attached proposal to change the name of the Department of Marketing to the Department of Marketing and International Business.

MEMORANDUM
FROM: Eric Spangenberg, Dean
TO: Faculty Senate
DATE: November 5, 2012
RE: Department Name Change
As a result of a reorganization decision to merge the International Business courses into the Department of Marketing, I am requesting a department name change. The new name would be Department of Marketing and International Business. This does not include the International Business Institute, which will remain under the auspices of the Dean’s Office. It also will not affect marketing or international business course prefixes.
Thank you for your consideration.
