At a recent (March 21, 2013) meeting of the Archaeology Department Undergraduate
Executive Committee the following Program/Calendar change (attached) was proposed,
discussed, and approved.
Explanation: In FASS there is requirement that students complete 45 upper division units
as part of any Major program. When we moved from FASS to FENV this requirement was
inadvertently omitted from our calendar regulations.
Sincerely,
