I. Detailed explanation of changes

FROM: Prereq: 250-211 and 230-245, or equivalent

TO: Prereq: 230-245, or equivalent

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.
