This revision has an impact on the Department of Teacher Preparation, and has been discussed with appropriate faculty in that

Impact on University Resources: (Curriculum changes affect university resources. Explain here how instructional, lab, computer or library

Impact on General Education Requirements: (If the proposal fulfills or changes general education requirements in your department, explain this
here.)
This proposal has no impact on other majors in the department; however, teaching majors (REO) will have restrictions on what
courses to take to fulfill some humanities and social sciences requirements (see proposed plan of study for teaching majors).
