a.  Rationale for creation, revision, or  deletion:

 

Physics 209 “Fundamentals of Physics III” has been retitled and renumbered to Physics 309 “20th/21st Century Physics”.

 

 

b.  Summary of program:

 

We propose to update the listing in the catalog to reflect the fact that one of the required courses has been retitled and renumbered.

 

We append an updated requirement listing at the end of this document.
