Note: Communication Design program changes:
A typographical error in the check sheet for proposal VPA 0958 of the UCC Meeting of February 26 and continuation meeting
of March 12, 2009, misstated the requirements for section A. General Education, 2. Humanities, lines A. and B. There were no
program changes to these areas. The correct requirements under line A are: ARH 124, 125 or 126; and under line B the note
should read ‘(may not be 024/025/026).’ Thus, the correct changes to the Communication Design program are as follows:
