(Attach permission from the affected units.  If no other unit is affected, enter “None”)

Describe the rationale for the proposed program change(s):

(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the curriculum or program.)

 

ECON251 was mistakenly dropped from ‘Major Requirements’ during our last curriculum revision in 2006.  We are simply adding back this course.

 

Program Requirements: 

(Show the new or revised curriculum as it should appear in the Course Catalog.  If this is a revision, be sure to indicate the changes being made to the current curriculum and include a side-by-side comparison of the credit distribution before and after the proposed change.)

 

We propose to include ECON251 in the list of courses required for the ‘Major Requirements.’
