Explanation of change:  (use FROM/TO format)

FROM:
230-451/651  Economies of Asia

230 -351 /551  Economies of Asia (Emerging Markets)

The number change from 451 to 351 is to better reflect the level of the course. It is also made to make it more attractive to Asian studies minors who have been concerned about the course being a senior level course. The course is now included as a Social Studies option in the revised Asian Studies minor.

The title change is to reflect the status of the Asian economies as Emerging markets. This term will make the course more attractive to Business students.

Justification for action:

  1. To have the course reflect its level.
  2. To increase enrollment of Asian studies minors.
  3. To increase enrollment of Business and Economics majors.
