  3. Procedural Matters - None

  4. Old Business
    1. Community Program in Jewish Studies - Chuck Schuster reported that he has been working with Community Education to find alternatives to the kind of certification proposed by the program.
    2. Quality of Work Requirement in the Major - nothing to report

  5. New Business
    1. Social Sciences
      1. A proposal to revise the lists of courses that meet category requirements in the Geography major was moved, seconded, and approved. Two courses will be permitted to count in two different categories.
    2. Humanities
      1. Revisions to the Certificate Program in Latin American Studies were moved, seconded and approved. The title is changed to Latin American and Caribbean Studies, and the program is open to post-baccalaureate students.
    3. Natural Sciences - None
    4. Concentrated Study in Two Departments (or Curricular Area) - Chuck Schuster explained that this item had been placed on the agenda at the request of Erl Olfe. Erl reports that most students who use this option to complete their majors do so because they are having trouble meeting regular major requirement. Chuck asked the committee members to consider recommending to the College Faculty that the Concentrated Study option be dropped. Connie Jo reported that a self-study had been completed recently for the APCC. Members asked to receive copies of that report and deferred further discussion of the matter until the next meeting.

  6. Adjournment - The meeting was adjourned at 9:53 a.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Connie Jo
