  2. Relationship to mission and strategic plan of institution, and/or College/Department goals and objectives:


    3. The goals and objectives include offering an array of majors and minors. This change fits with this goal in keeping a sensible link between the major and the minor.
     

  3. Rationale:


    4. This minor is one of the few Professional Business Minors which has a unique requirement which includes macro- and microeconomics, Finite Mathematics, and a calculus course. Calculus was eliminated as a requirement for the general business major through curricular action last year (effective fall, 2000). This proposed change would bring the general business minor in line with the general business major.
     

  4. Cost implication:
None.
