Attach the following:

I. Detailed explanation of changes (use FROM/TO format)

    From: Coreq: 900-150 or consent of instructor
    To: Coreq: 760-141

II. Justification for action

    With the removal of 900-150, Science and Technology in Society, as a required Core course, it is imprudent to require it
    for entry in to Physical Geography. Since Math 141 is corequisite for 900-150, and since basic mathematical skills are
    necessary for successful completion of the course, we are keeping 760-141 as corequisite.
