COURSE CHANGES

BGEN 499 : Senior Thesis/Capstone: Strategy Seminar
- Reducing the credits from 4 to 3 and thereby discontinuing the lecture component. Overtime the faculty have found this extra credit/lecture were not adding value. This change also brings the course into alignment with others in the CCN.

EDEC 450 : Language and Literacy in Early Childhoold
- Title change from Literacy in the EC Classroom

ETCC 499R : Capstone: Construction Engineering Technology

Credit change from 5 to 4
The GDSN faculty are adjusting the junior block, 300-level courses from 5 credits to 4 credits. This will require students to take 4, 4 credit courses in their junior year, rather than 3, 5 credit courses, allowing for more diversity in topics and themes explored during their education. This will lead to a variety of professional options when entering the design field. This new 4-credit format will fit more effectively into the summer 4x4 sessions—helping with consistency in course meeting times.
