Dear Beth,
Thank you for your comments here and our conversation.  I believe that I have taken care of what you have asked for. 1. After some discussion with the Registrar's Office, I was able to find out about the title of ARTH 402. When the course was first created, it was an experimental course with that title. When it was finally approved, it was approved as a seminar with The Beautiful as one of many many topics.  The only information we had been given was the new number. So I have added the seminar and topic to the chart.  That should take care of that confusion.

2. The economics course is a little harder.  It was actually approved by faculty senate as part of our program with the experimental number.  It is a course that was specifically designed for our program by the Center of Economic Education and is only taught here in Milford.  I have requested that they work on getting a permanent number for it.  Since it is not an education course, I cannot initiate that.

3. I have added a side-by-side chart with the full program on it with our proposed course option highlighted in yellow.  I believe this meets your request. 

Finally, you said that most people on that committee have never heard of our program, so I have attached a brief description in case that will help.  Please let me know if you need any other information. Thanks again for your help.
Laurie
