Date ?
.
Action taken by the Senate Committee on Under-
graduate Studies at its meeting of November 16, 1976 gives rise
to the following motion:
MOTION
That Senate approve, and recommend approval
by the Board of Governors, the proposed change in requirements
for honors in Political Science from "Students must take forty-five
credit hours of upper division Political Science courses, twenty-
one hours of which must be from within a single sequence and twenty
four of which must be from different field sequences. Additionally,
POL.499-5, the Honors essay, is required of all Honors students,
for a total of fifty hours." to "Students must take fifty credit
hours of upper division Political Science courses, fifteen hours
of which must be from a single group, and five hours of which must
be in POL 499-5, the Honors Essay.
. Note - The Department has requested this change for the reason
that the original expectation for honors requirement (21 hours of
upper division credit from within a single sequence) has not
proved to be feasible under the present curriculum. Furthermore,
the stipulation as to the total number of upper division credit
hours required (50) was not clear. It was also considered
unnecessary to stipulate that the balance of twenty-four credits
must be from other sequences.
