upper division Geography courses, including:
12 credit hours at the 300 level

(B) RATIONALE
Complementarities between the two programs exist for a variety of
different groups of students. Business majors with an interest in
distribution of goods and services or with an interest in environmental
issues would find important aspects of these topics covered with more
depth and with complementary disciplinary orientations in Geography.
Geography majors interested in location, land use, urban and regional
development, tourism or resource geography would benefit from
aspects of these topics analyzed from a business perspective.
NOTE; The Faculty of Arts Curriculum Committee will be considering this j
joint major program at a forthcoming meeting,

were introduced makes these changes desirable.

The addition of BUS 447, International Marketing Management, to
the present Calendar list of five upper division courses from
which Marketing
concentrators must select at least one course.

BUS 484-3 Workplace Industrial Relations

(c) Rationale:
When these two courses were proposed for inclusion in the
1990-1991 Calendar it was the Faculty's intention that each
course be added to the list of courses from which
concentrators make selections. Through an oversight, this was
not proposed at that time.
