Re:  FS 01-81 and FS 01-82

Program Change Proposals - Undergraduate:

College of Arts and Letters

Department of Communication Studies, B.A.-Organizational Communication Concentration:  1)  Replace COMS 154 under area requirements with COMS 189:  COMS 189 was created to replace COMS; 2)  Eliminate the restriction in "NOTES" that limits Organizational Communication majors to 3 units of internship for consistency with other concentrations in the program.

College of Health and Human Services

Department of Criminal Justice, Minor:  Specific Minor requirements changed to reflect recent parallel changes in the major and assure that the student has a course in each substantive area of the criminal justice field.  No change in total units.

 

 

Program Change Proposals - Graduate:

College of Arts and Letters

Department of Communication Studies, M.A.:  Changes the range of undergraduate courses graduate students may count toward their graduate degree from ComS classes numbered 140-199 to ComS classes numbered 150-199.  The majority of courses numbered from 140-149 are not suitable for graduate credit except for 147 and 148 which have had course proposals submitted to change their numbers to 152 and 153.  No change in total units.

Department of History, M.A.-Humanities Concentration:  Increase the number of History units for admission to the program from the current 6-9 to 21 units with at least 15 units in upper division and including History 192/3 and History 197A/B.  For the program:  eliminate the HRS 202 requirement and replace it with History 202; allow students to substitute Graduate Liberal Arts seminars and History reading seminars for the HRS required seminars if the latter are not available; the nine units of electives may be in either department with at least three from each and they may be either upper division or graduate courses.  No change in total program units.

Department of Foreign Languages, deletion of programs, M.A. German and M.A. French:  Programs are no longer viable.  Admissions into these graduate programs have been inactive for several years and there is lack of any evidence that there are prospective students for them in the future.
