00-080 APC 3
Changes in the Information Science Minor

The structure of the Information Science major was modified last year to include an object oriented programming component. A new course, COP 2551, Introduction to Object Oriented Programming, was created at that time. The minor should reflect the inclusion of this component. A modification to require as minor requirement a course previously listed as an elective, COP 4720, Database Systems, more clearly defines the content of the minor. Minor prerequisite hours are increased from 3 to 9 hours. Total program hours will increase 20 to 26 hours. No new faculty needed. No resources needed.

Change the B.S. in Computer and Information Science.

For ease of scheduling, two Computer Science major electives are being modified to be listed as having a 3.0 credit hour lecture and a 1.0 credit hour lab component. This requires the creation of two new lab courses (CDA 4312L & CDA 4102L) and the modification of the original courses to reflect lab corequisites. No change in program hours. No new faculty needed. No resources needed.
