Hi Brant & Alexandria,
This email is to notify you that the Photography Department is proposing to change PHO 181 to PHO 100.
The course is currently an option in the Advertising Minor, Public Relations Minor, Visual Communications Minor, and the Museum
Studies Minor.
This number change will not require any related plans change since it will be automatic in the catalog.
Thank you!
