Subject. (Brief description of proposed change, addition or deletion.)
Secondary Education: Physical Science Plan of Study revision
Justification. (Briefly list main reasons for proposed change, addition or deletion.)
The changes are made based upon the English Department and Science College colleagues’ recommendations. One
English course is deleted but two other English courses are added as optional elective courses for students to choose in
Semester 4. The newly added optional English courses are more beneficial for school teachers. PHYS 22000/22100 is
replaced with STAT 31100 as an optional course in Semester 4. PHYS 34200L is no longer offered and is replaced with
34000 in Semester 6. PHYS 30300 is added as an optional course in Semester 7. Science elective credit hours in
Semester 7 are changed from 3-4 to 5 for students who are interested in taking in depth independent study with science
faculty. The total credit hours of the curriculum plan are changed from 118-120 to 120.
