II.  Relationship to mission and strategic plan of institution, and/or College/Departmental goals and objectives: 

This proposal is in keeping with the University and College goals to provide a high-quality education which prepares students in a career-focused major.

 

 

III.  Rationale:  

When the major was established, 250387 did not exist, and when the course was developed and approved, it never got added to the major even though it is commonly taken by Entrepreneurship majors.  The course has been offered successfully since fall, 1998 and is comparable to a principles course in most majors.

 

IV. Cost Implications:  None.
