Presentation
POLITICAL SCIENCE
Political Science AA-T
Sara Parker explained that this degree will better align with the lower division
courses in Political Science at various transfer institutions. The current AA degree
(as listed in the 2011 Addendum) will be deleted.
Needed:
• Add POSC 12 to list B
• Correct number of units to be double counted to 16
MSC (Cirera-Perez/Victoria) to accept the Political Science AA-T with changes
as noted.

International Studies AA
Sara stated that the International Studies degree as listed in the catalog has not been
updated in some time. The degree in its current form requires too many units,
incorporates courses no longer taught (at all) or regularly at Chabot and does not
include lower division course offerings in line with comparable BA international
studies/global studies/international relations degrees offered at CSU and UC
campuses. A new streamlined degree will allow students interested in this degree the
opportunity to complete it. Sara consulted with disciplines that had courses in the
degree as she revised it.
Jane noted that if all the Foreign Language units were waived, the degree would fall
below the mandated 18 units. There was brief discussion of how to remedy this
situation, such as requiring credit by examination for the Foreign Languages.
Further discussion was tabled to the February 7 meeting. The revised degree will
have to be submitted to the state before it can be placed in the catalog.

NURSING
Connie Telles gave an overview of changes being made. She said they are trying to
streamline the program to make the courses more theory packed. There was
discussion on whether adding content from deleted courses to existing courses
increases the courses’ units. Connie replied that the content was already in the
courses. The courses being deleted are redundant.
