6 MINOR IN ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE CONSERVATION (ARHC) DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE - TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY APPROVAL FOR RPTS 307 (Methods of Environmental Interpretation) ; RENR 375 (Conservation of Natural Resources) From: Scott Shafer Sent: Wednesday, September 21, :01 AM To: Rogers, Julia S Cc: Lou Hodges; Susan Scott; Melyssa-Anne Stricklin; Ann Williams; Tazim Jamal Subject: RE: New minor in Architecture Heritage Conservation Hi Julie, Our undergraduate committee met yesterday and the agenda included an item on your request to use RPTS courses in the proposed AHC minor. We appreciate that you identified potential value in our courses and want to support the education of any student when possible. At this time we are happy to have you list RPTS 307 and RENR 375 as electives in the AHC minor. We will withhold RPTS 426 until we know more about our ability to meet the needs of RPTS students. 426 is a required, writing intensive offering that currently fills to capacity each time it is offered. We may have some additional capacity to teach RPTS 426 next year and would be happy to revisit listing the course at that time. If we need to provide anything else in support of listing RPTS 307 and RENR 375 please let us know. Scott C. Scott Shafer Professor & Department Head Recreation, Park and Tourism Sciences 2261 TAMU Texas A&M University College Station, TX desk cell sshafer@tamu.edu From: Rogers, Julia S Sent: Thursday, September 8, :01 PM To: Scott Shafer <sshafer@tamu.edu> Subject: New minor in Architecture Heritage Conservation The Department of Architecture is proposing a new minor in Architecture Heritage Conservation (ARHC). The minor is intended to provide an interdisciplinary and global approach to understanding architectural heritage conservation and its importance to sustainable conservation of the built environment. The curriculum emphasizes an awareness of principles and theories impacting architectural heritage conservation and enables students to explore technological advancements critical to documenting and assessing the built environment. We would very much like to include the following courses as elective coursework on the ARHC minor. Initially we do not think more than 30 students will declare the minor, so we would estimate not more than two students might enroll in each class below, of course pending your course limits. RPTS 307 Methods of Environmental Interpretation RPTS 426 Tourism Impacts

7 We would appreciate your approval so we might list these courses as electives on the minor. We would also welcome any suggested courses you might think appropriate. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any further questions. Many thanks Julie Dr. Julie Rogers Department of Architecture Scoates 132 Texas A&M University College Station, Texas Tel:

8 APPROVAL FOR RENR 405 (GIS for Environmental Problem Solving) From: Merwyn Kothmann Sent: Sunday, September 18, :46 PM To: Rogers, Julia S Cc: Katy Kavanagh; Heather Janke Subject: Re: new minor in Architecture Heritage Conservation Julia, RENR 375 is taught by the RPTS department, not ESSM. We should be able to accommodate students per year in RENR 405. It is taught fall, spring, and summer. Do you want a letter from ESSM stating that we can support this minor with RENR 405?

9 APPROVAL FOR ANTH 202 (Introduction to Archaeology); ANTH 313 (Historical Archaeology); ANTH 402 (Archaeological Artifact Conservation); ANTH 421 (Museums and their Functions) From: Werner, Cynthia A Sent: Saturday, September 10, :09 PM To: Rogers, Julia S Subject: Re: New minor in Architecture Heritage Conservation Dear Julie, This all sounds great. I support the addition of all of the proposed anthropology courses for the minor. One of the courses, however, ANTH 454, will not be offered in the future due to a faculty retirement. We have recently hired a new faculty member and curator who may be offering relevant courses in the near future. She will be teaching the museum studies course and developing other courses for that minor.
