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

FROM: Prerequisite: 12 credits in psychology and consent of instructor
TO: Prerequisite: 12 credits in psychology or consent of instructor

II. Justification for action

Seminar topics vary widely and often encompass inter- and multidisciplinary topics such as Psychology and Law, Group Processes, and Qualitative Methods of Inquiry, to mention a few recent offerings. Some students may have sufficient background for a particular seminar topic from course work or experiences outside of psychology, therefore this change in prerequisite opens enrollment in this course to a broader range of students.
