Curriculum Presentation by Michelle Trudeau
Michelle presented an overview of the enrollment trends for the various courses in CFR. To note,
ESRM student majors is increasing. Admission for winter quarter for students wishing to major
in ESRM is closed, but if there is a strong recommendation from the College, Admissions will
allow it. Winter admits are also eligible for winter scholarships.
Michelle also discussed the unusually low fall quarter enrollments for historically popular CFR
courses. CFR 101, PSE 102, and ESC 110 are all underperforming. This occurrence can be
attributed to the increased competition from other service courses offered at other colleges and
departments.
Michelle passed out several handouts that relate to this discussion, as well as email them as
attachments after the meeting.
