7. Explanation of the Change:
Upon developing programs of study and course schedules based upon the program modifications
that were approved during the AY 2018-2019 (see program delineated in left-hand column above),
it became apparent that the inclusion of 12 credit hours for specialization is not, at the current time,
feasible for student workload. The credits for specialization are not necessary for program
accreditation or professional licensure of students upon graduation. The credits for specialization
were included in the original submission as a means to set the USD AuD program apart from other
audiology graduate programs. For these reasons, we request that the 12 credit hours of coursework
for specialization be removed from the program.
Removal of credits for a specialty certification allows for credits to be added to DCOM 795, Field
Experience: Externship in Audiology while staying within a reasonable total number of credit
hours for the program. During DOCM 796, students are obtaining full-time experience in the
clinical field. A total of 15 credits hours across three semesters of DCOM 796, places the credit
hours more in line with the time and expectations of the course.
Due to an oversight within the Department, deletion of DCOM 724 from the AuD program was
omitted in the program modification approved in AY 2018-2019. We ask that this course be
removed from the AuD program for those reasons indicated in the program modification approved
in AY 2018-2019, specifically in response to accreditation and certification standards.

7. Explanation of the Change:
Due to increasing demands of Medical Laboratory Scientists, clinical internship programs are raising their prerequisite requirements. In order to best prepare USD MLS students to meet these increased standards, USD MLS will make the following changes:
• MLS 228 will change from 2 credits to 3 credits. MLS 228L – Medical Laboratory Parasitology lab will be added to better prepare the students to meet the accredited affiliate’s parasitology requirements in parasitology identification.
• MLS 332 will change from 3 credits to 4 credits. MLS 332L- Intro to Med Lab Procedures Lab- will be added to apply the theory behind the laboratory procedures and better prepare the students for their clinical internship and future career as an MLS.
The National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Science (NAACLS) has modified their requirements allowing MLS programs more flexibility in the required biology and chemistry courses. Our NAACLS accredited affiliates have all agreed that our students can select either Organic Chemistry (CHEM 326/L or 310/L) or Analytical Chemistry (CHEM 332/L) to better prepare for their programs. They have also agreed that while General Biology II can be beneficial, the content is not critical to prepare the students for the MLS internships. As such, we would like to move it to a recommended elective, particularly for those who may be considering graduate programs such as pre-Medicine, pre-Physician Assistant, pre-Occupational Therapy, or pre-Physical Therapy.

7. Explanation of the Change:
New accreditation standards from the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-
Language Pathology will go into effect for students applying for certification in 2020. During a
program review the above changes were proposed. DCOM 730 was dropped from the requirements
to allow for new courses and changes to be made without impacting the overall number of credits.
A credit was added to DCOM 734 to allow for the addition of content. DCOM 710 and 711 have
been combined into one course to increase efficiency. DCOM 735 was created to cover the
Audiology content which will now encompass all areas of Audiology. DCOM 738 and DCOM 759
were added to facilitate the integration of classroom content and offsite internship experiences.
