PROPOSALS TABLED� (Please contact Bob Darling [x2923] if you have any questions).
Alterations to programs:
�������� Alteration to Major in Professional Writing [PWR]
1) proposal lacks signature from the English Department Chair.
2) the committee requests that comment be obtained from the Chair of the Philosophy Department as �PHI 203, 240, or 382� are being deleted from the major.
3) the committee expressed some concern over dropping an internship from a �professional� program of study.
4) section �B� of the proposed alteration requires �12 hours at the 400 level.�� Yet, other than PWR 497 (required in section A), there are only 4 remaining courses at the 400 level, including the internship (PWR 495) that the department wishes to eliminate.� Under the current list of available 400 level courses (p. 145 of the 2006-2007 catalog), it appears that a student must take at least 3 credit hours of internship anyway just to satisfy the �400-level� requirement.
