List program changes for
curriculum revisions:
Drop FREC 135, computer science requirement, and PLSC 470 Weed
Biology and Control from major requirements.
List new courses required for
the new or revised curriculum:
(Be aware that approval
of the curriculum is dependent upon these courses successfully passing through
the Course Challenge list. If there are no new courses enter “None”)
none
Other affected units:
(List other departments affected by this new or revised
curriculum. Attach permission from the
affected units. If no other unit is
affected, enter “None”)
none
Rationale:
(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the
curriculum or program.)
Weed Biology
has not been taught for several years and probably will not be taught in the
foreseeable future. Weed issues and
identification have been incorporated into other horticulture courses. FREC 135 and computer science requirement dropped
because PLSC faculty members believe that our students are entering our
department with adequate computer skills.
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 present curriculum.)
