4.10 Program Changes

4.10.1 Any addition or deletion of programs, including majors, minors, and concentrations housed within the College of Arts and Sciences must be reviewed by the Arts and Sciences Faculty Cabinet and approved by the Arts and Sciences Council.

4.10.2 Proposals to add or delete majors, minors or concentrations must be submitted to the Dean of the College to be forwarded to the Faculty Cabinet. The Faculty Cabinet will consider issues such as adequacy of staffing, additional staffing needs, adequacy of existing curricular offerings, needed curricular support, and any other relevant curricular or administrative issues and will formulate a recommendation about the proposed program change to be submitted to the Arts and Sciences Council.

4.10.3 If the recommendation of the Faculty Cabinet is approved by the Arts and Sciences Council, all pertinent information relating to the program change will be submitted to the Provost and to the Registrar by the Office of the Dean. The Office of the Dean also will be responsible for ensuring that all Arts and Sciences Program changes are reflected in the next and ensuing catalogs published by the University.
