II. Relationship to mission and strategic plan of institution, and/or
College/Department goals and objectives
This request will clarify departmental graduation requirements as part
of our initiatives to meet goal 1.3 of the Biological Sciences Department
Mission Statement: "Offer well-informed and accurate academic advising
to students in the Biological Sciences majors, Combined Science/Business
major, General Science- Broadfield Biology major, and selected pre-health
professional advising tracks; delivered in supportive and constructive
advising sessions".
III. Rationale
The revised listing clarifies the number of elective credits in the
major and accounts for the requests to teach a new course for non-majors,
general education credit (630-110), and to re-number 630-300, already in
the list of courses not accepted for majors’ credit, to 630-200.
IV. Cost implications
This is simply an administrative clarification, and has no budget implication.
