ITEM # 1 - FA 98-48: Submitted by the Academic Programs Committee
COLLEGE OF ARTS & SCIENCES
| 98-122 | APC 3 | B.A. Degree in Philosophy |
This request discontinues the listing of courses under Major Electives for the Philosophy Major. Instead, the following generic statement will appear: "Major Electives (3000-4000 level) . Select 5 courses (at least 2 at the 4000 level) from any area of philosophy: PHH, PHI, PHM, PHP.NOTE: foreign culture courses may not be used as electives in the Philosophy major." This change provides a simplification of the APC process for future new electives. At present each time a new elective is added to the menu of possible electives an APC-3 form, as well as an APC 1 form, must be submitted. This action will eliminate the necessity for many APC 3's.
| 98-123 | APC 2 | EUH 3200 | 3 cr | Early Modern Europe |
This course is being deleted and replaced by a newly proposed course, EUH 3202, Enlightenment and Power: Europe 1660-1789. This change will eliminate overlap and complete the junior-level European history course sequence.
| 98-124 | APC 1 | EUH 3202 | 3 cr | Enlightenment and Power: Europe 1660-1789 |
