15 BAS-RTM Plans for Further Improvement Correct Undergraduate Catalog to reflect that this is a completely different degree than, rather than simply another major to, the Bachelor of Science of Business Administration degree. Add a statement to the BAS-RTM section of the Undergraduate Catalog that, Students must complete the core courses that are part of the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration Degree, found on the first page of the Sorrell College of Business pages of this catalog. (NOTE: Students are required to do this, but the catalog does not reflect it). Remove redundant course MGT3371 from the Option 1 course list. Designate MGT-4476 as the capstone course for the BAS-RTM degree. Change the number of credit hours that are required for the degree such that the total required hours beyond the core courses equal 30. Change wording in catalog for Supervised technical courses from hours: to 18 hours. Change option 1 to require, MGT3372, MGT 4465, MGT4466, and 1 upperdivision business or technology elective. (12 hours total for option) Change option 2 to require 12 hours of upper-division business or technology electives. (12 hours total for option)

16 BAS-RTM Plan for Further Improvement (cont.) (NOTE: Many of the Plans for Improvement listed below will overlap (or parallel) those of other programs, particularly the BSBA Management Major). Begin testing all BAS-RTM students with the capstone exam in MGT-4476 (by 1 August, 2011) Continue restructuring of Master Syllabi. Continue improving disaggregation of assessment data by location. Continue developing and implementing a plan to improve SCOB student advising at all locations. (Note: Standardized orientations are being created to provide information to all SCOB students. Advisor workshops are being planned as well). Continue developing formative assessments for the BAS-RTM program. Develop a standardized writing assessment for BUS-3382 (by 1 August, 2011) Develop a standardized critical thinking assessment for MGT-4476 (by 1 August, 2011) Develop a standardized management assessment (course TBD) (by 1 August, 2011) Develop a plan to address substandard scores on law MFT subscale (by 1 August, 2011)
