
Follow-up for each of the general education groups was discussed. The list appended
was approved.
III: Language
The NAS courses proposed require significant revision and will likely be resubmitted by
next year.
IV: Expressive Arts
Revised syllabi language for the art courses was received. An acceptable justification
for offering MUSI 304 at the 300 level was also received.
V: Literary & Artistic
The form for NAS 202 was not filled out correctly (the current criteria and learning
outcomes were not used) and will need to be resubmitted. The form for MCLG 315
was also not filled out correctly. The Committee was concerned that the course was not
appropriate for general education because it requires background in the major.
VI: Historical and Cultural
Professors Eglin and Shearer approved the courses.
VIII: Ethics and Human Values
The proposal for AAS 374 was withdrawn. Although BUS 291 was revised, it was not
approved. Adequate follow-up responses were received for the other courses.
IX: American & European
A revised form was submitted for JOUR 110 and it was approved.
XI: Natural Science
RECM/ FOR 246 is a field course taught during summer session in Australia. Although
the course meets the criteria and learning outcomes, the subcommittee wasn’t sure it
was appropriate for general education due to the travel expense and compressed format.
After discussion the course was approved.
The meeting was adjourned at 11:00 a.m.
