The attached entry from the Department of Political Science 

was approved by the Faculty of Arts Curriculum Committee 

at its meeting of February 24, 

1977. 

?

The Political Science 

?

department had changed its requirements last year when the 

new Faculty of Arts Regulations went into effect. 

?

After 

a year's experience with these requirements, the department 

has reviewed their effectiveness with students and faculty 

and decided to alter them. 

?

They realize that these changes 

?

will not be included in the 

Calendar, but that the 

department will be able to advise students of these changes 

once they receive Senate approval. 

?

Would you please place 

this submission on the agenda of the next SCUS meeting. 

Thank you.

We are submitting herewith certain changes in the Upper Division course require- 

ments for a Minor and Major in Political Science, as well as the prerequisite 

structure, appertaining to the Political Science curriculum. We regret that 

we inadvertently omitted to submit such changes earlier. 

The changes are being made in order to fall in line with new Faculty of Arts 

requirements, under which students are not obliged to complete 60 credit hours 

before commencing Upper Division courses. 

We respectfully request that the changes be approved forthwith in order that 

they may be reflected in the 1977/8 University calendar.
