Please explain/justify the new proposal or change. 
As a component of continuous improvement, our Department has redesigned our introductory core electronic course
series for delivery over three semesters rather than two. This revision will realign the technical course load of a student’s
first semester until later in their program of study. Doing so allows the student to complete preparatory coursework in
mathematics, science, writing, and humanities. Our goal is to improve student retention from first semester to second
semester and enhance student success. Program content has not been added or removed, but re-sequenced.
V Copies and Electronic Submission
Once approved, the original, a paper copy and an electronic file are submitted to the Faculty Senate Office, UH 221
(camie.foos@mso.umt.edu).
VI Department Summary Required if several proposals are submitted. In a separate document list program title
and proposed change of all proposals.
