Governors the change in requirements for a Minor in Learning 

Disabilities as set forth in S7- 3

to have any Specific Education Minor recognized in their 

degree programs and entered on official records, it is 

presently required that they have successfully completed 

the Professional Development Program (as well as the require- 

ments for the Specific Minor; cf. page 244 in 1978/79 calendar).

cessful completion of the Professional Development Program

Teaching and EDUC 402, Studies of Educational Theory and 

Practice are being droppédas prerequisites for EDUC 422,

Laboratory. Other prerequisites have been substituted.
