Campus: Tampa
Submission Type: Change
Course Change Information (for course changes only): Change the course credit hours from 1 credit hour to 2 credit hours.
Currently, Institute Scholars (graduate certificate students) enrolled in the Graduate Certificate in the Translational Research in Adolescent Behavioral Health program take three one credit hour service learning (SL) courses during the second, third, and fourth semesters of this four semester, 15 credit hour graduate certificate program. During the second, third, and fourth semesters, the Institute Scholars are working with their research group scholars, academic mentors, and community partner mentors in the development of their applied research study. The Institute Scholars are spending more than twice the hours each semester on their service learning activities in each one credit hour service learning course. Thus, changing the three service learning courses from one credit hour to two credit hours each becomes a more accurate reflection of the time and effort each Institute Scholar is devoting to each of the service learning courses in this graduate certificate program.
I would appreciate the immediate implementation of this change in the Graduate Certificate in Translational Research in Adolescent Behavioral Health program since the increase the service learning course credit hours will be a more accurate reflection of Institute Scholar efforts in this certificate program. In summary, increasing the credit hours devoted to service learning courses is a better use of the Institute Scholars time dedicated to the service learning experience in this translational research graduate certificate program.
