2. Relationship to mission and strategic plan of institution, and/or college and department
goals and objectives:
N/A
3. Rationale:
Changes were made to simplify the AAR, to delete courses no longer offered, and to add
new courses approved in the past year or at this time. Major core requirements were to
make them identical to other geography tracks. Specifically,
a. Sections 1 and 2 were reorganized to better reflect core courses.
b. GEOGRPY 337 and 368 were deleted since they are no longer offered.
c. New courses, GEOGRPY 335 and 380, and existing courses GEOGRPY 361, 420
and GEOGRPY 333 were added to the track
d. GEOGRPY 420 and 477 were added to the 400-level offerings in section 2.
4. Cost Implications:
None
