I. Detailed explanation of changes

FROM: Prereq: 760-143, and (760-231 or 230-245) and (765-171 or 250-211)

TO: Prereq: 760-143 and (760-231 or 230-245)
 

II. Justification for action:
Effective with the 2000-2001 academic year, 250-211 (Introduction to Information Systems) is no longer a degree requirement for the BBA degree. Therefore, the use of the course (or the equivalent course, 765-171, Introduction to Computers) as a prerequisite for other courses in Business major/minor programs is inappropriate.
