\par The field of medical administration has expanded in recent years.  The Medical Billing and Coding Program is designed to incorporate theory and application.  This focused delivery will provide the student wi
th the knowledge and job skills required for entry-level employment in the medical field.
\par 
\par There is a current and future need for trained medical billers and coders.  Health care delivery is changing.  Practitioners are being challenged to deliver quality 
patient care as well as contain the rising costs.  Managed care programs, patient's loss of insurance and reduction in benefits, cost containment measures, and community pressure have amplified the market for competent and cross-trained medical billers an
d coders.  
\par 
\par }\pard \ri360\widctlpar\adjustright {
To summarize, there is a current need for educated medical billers and coders, which is projected to extend into the foreseeable future.  The proposed Medical Billing and Coding Certificate program will prepare students for employment in the me
dical field.  Implementation of this program will position the College of Rural Alaska, Tanana Valley Campus to meet the present and increasing demand for vocational-technical training and provide the medical community with medical billers and coders.

\par The University of Alaska provided four-year undergraduate B.Ed. degrees at UAA, UAF and UAS until the Board of Regents suspended admission to these degrees in 1998.  Since they have been replaced by new degrees, we are req
uesting that the B.Ed. be deleted.  Students who were declared as B.Ed. majors prior to that time have had the option, and the support necessary, to complete their degree requirements by December of 2002. 
\par 
\par }\pard \ri450\widctlpar\tx360\adjustright {Between 1998 and 2001, the only route for student
s wishing to gain teacher certification within the UA system was to complete a 5th year, post-baccalaureate teacher preparation program.  However, in 2000, each MAU was given permission to develop a new undergraduate degree program that would prepare stud
e
nts as elementary teachers.  In June of 2001, the UA Board of Regents approved new undergraduate degrees at each of the MAU's.  These degrees, all defined as a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education, serve as a replacement for the B.Ed. at each of the t
hree campuses.  The new degrees were designed collaboratively by UAA, UAF and UAS faculty and there is transferability for students throughout the University of Alaska system.

\par }\pard\plain \s16\ri540\widctlpar\adjustright \f7\cgrid {The new degree incorporates many of the courses and components of the previous 
degree, but its design includes new responsibilities for students and faculty, and it responds directly to new national and state standards including NCATE standards, the Alaska Teacher Standards, the Alaska Student Content Standards and the Alaska Standa
rds for Culturally Responsive Schools.  It is also fully compatible with the Alaska Quality Schools Initiative. 
\par }\pard\plain \ri540\widctlpar\tx360\adjustright \f7\cgrid {
\par Since there is a well-documented and critical need for teachers in Alaska, the addition of a new undergraduate degree to replace the B.Ed. is an important step to take in responding to this need. 
\par 
\par The new BA in Elementary Education provides the option for students in rural areas, as well as those on the Fairbanks Campus, to seek an undergraduate degree and teaching certificate in a much-needed p
rofession.  The teacher shortage in rural areas, the high teacher turnover rate, and the predicted shortage in urban areas is a critical problem that the University system can, and should, respond to by providing this new degree option.

\par MAT, Elementary 
\par 
\par In 1999, in conjunct
ion with the development of a new post-baccalaureate teacher education programs for elementary and secondary teachers, the School of Education decided to test a pilot program that allowed post-baccalaureate teacher education students to earn an MAT degree
 
in conjunction with the coursework and internship required for a teacher education license.  After two years, with ongoing review and reflection of the advantages and disadvantages of the pilot MAT option (including the solicitation of a great deal of fee
dback from cooperating mentor teachers and administrators), the School of Education suspended admission to its MAT programs in spring 2001.  
\par 
\par In place of the MAT, the School of Education designed an option for post-baccalaureate teacher education students 
to pursue the more respected and more rigorous M.Ed.  This option allows post-baccalaureate students to use 15 of the required 27 credits from their licensure program to satisfy one-half of the 30 credits required for an M.Ed. Degree in Curriculum and Ins
truction.  
\par 
\par This new option has been in place for two years and the response from students, university faculty and school district personnel has been very positive.  In contrast to the MAT degree, the M.Ed. provides the option for students who complete our
 post-baccalaureate teacher education programs to continue their graduate work with us, and it provides the opportunity for the School of Education to provide professional development and support for beginning teachers.  The M.Ed. can also be used as a fo
undation for a Ph.D. because of its requirements for research and the completion of a research project or a thesis.

\par Master's of Software Engineering
\par }\pard \ri540\widctlpar\adjustright {
\par The Masters in Software Engineering is meant to prepare students for careers as software prac
titioners, i.e., those whose primary job is to develop or maintain software.  It this goal is well met, then the program will directly benefit software practitioners and their employers.  
\par 
\par The main reason for the existence of the field of software enginee
ring is to seek and find solutions to various software practitioners' performance problems.  Thirty-two years of software engineering efforts have produced good results in software engineering technical areas such as tools, process, re-use, testing, et ce
t
era and in management areas such as software project management.  Unfortunately the fruits of this labor are often not known to or used by software practitioners.  Thus the UAF Software Engineering program goal is to help improve the performance of softwa
re practitioners through knowledge, understanding and use of software engineering principles and practices.  
\par 
\par This program has been a successful track in the computer science graduate program since its inception in 1993.  The software engineering track in 
the Computer Science Master's program was originally intended as an independent program, but was developed as a track for budgetary reasons.  We are now proceeding with the separation of this track into a separate program according to our original plan.  
The program is not otherwise being changed from its already successful form.  Indeed, the graduates of this program have been successful in obtaining employment.
