Proposal Subject: (One sentence overview of the proposal. Examples: change in title, prerequisite and description of NUR XYZ. Create new plan of
study in XYZ department, etc.)
Add MA 15300 as a co-/prerequisite to BIOL 10200
Justification: (Explain the rationale for the proposed change.)
MA 15300 is a co-requisite/prerequisiste of BIOL 10100. The proposed change will put in place the same requirement for BIOL
10200. This prevents students from circumventing the math requirement for BIOL 10100/10200 by taking the courses out of
sequence.

other departments about the proposal. If adding or deleting a course, explain how other departments may be affected.)
None
Impact on University Resources: (Curriculum changes affect university resources. Explain here how instructional, lab, computer or library
