    1. New Course ASIANST 493, "Internship in Japanese Culture."  (This course offers students a practical, hands-on field learning experience through immersion in a Japanese cultural setting.  Students will be assigned to a non-profit organization, company or governmental agency in Japan or one that is Japanese-intensive work setting outside of Japan. Students will learn about Japanese culture through active personal engagement and the daily experience of working under the direction of a Japanese organization).
  6. Biological Sciences
    1. Change in the Biology Minor.  (We are simply increasing the number of credits to reflect the increase in credit for Biology 141 and 142 from four credits to five credits each. We are also more clearly specifying those courses which do not count toward the minor).
    2. Change in the Pre-professional  Program - Dentistry Emphasis.   (This proposal represents a combination of updating and clarifying requirements in this non-degree program. We have added non-science requirements, specified exact course numbers where possible, and listed courses (such as Biology 141 and Math 152) that are not specifically required for Marquette Dental school, but are prerequisites of courses that are required for dental school).
    3. Change in the Pre-professional Program - Veterinary Medicine.  (This proposal represents a combination of updating and clarifying requirements in this non-degree program. We have added non-science requirements, specified exact course numbers where possible, and listed courses (such as Math 152 and Chem 252) that are not specifically required for UW-Madison veterinary school, but are prerequisites of courses that are required for the vet school).
  7. Informational Items
    1. Title change for SOCIOLGY 362 FROM Population Dynamics TO Population Studies.  (Clarifies the objectives of the course).
