Phil 001 was removed from the list as an editorial mistake when Phil 1 00 and 120 were added

Within the majority of Business

must take B
U
S 360W and
at least two of
the 400

Ievel
Business
courses,
including BUS
478,
at SFU.
Rationale: University regulations
state
that
the
upper divis
i
on
writing
intensive
course
must be done
within the
major program and must be completed at SFU.
T
he
above statement will emphasize
this
pOint.
As SFU is granting t
h
e degree, we be
l
ieve that it is important the students
comp
l
ete at
least
2 of the
400
level
courses
at SFU, including Bus
478
.
This change
will
need
to be
ref
l
ected
in the SFU Calendar
for
Business programs.
The changes will affect
these
programs in
various

RATIORALE:
This
C011IB8 was
origiDally part of an honours program that included a prerequisite of 90
umts. It is
1tO'R
offered as part of
the
regular Human Resources concentration and to be
coDBistent with other 400
level
HR courses, the prerequisite should
be
changed to 80
units.
This
is in
addition to the previous meeting's request of changing this course from 4 units to
3.
Does this COUlSe replicate
the
content of a
previously
approved course to such an extent
that students should not
receive
credit for
both
courses?
If
so,
this
should be noted
in
the
pre-mgpieite.

Concentration name change to Operations Management
Ratioual.e:
The
name "management science" is
dated
and unsuitable as it does not reflect the
specific skills
and learning that our undergraduates specialize
in.
It is an inappropriately broad
label
for our teacl,;ng concentration.
If
we look
at
the journal Management Science which is the
top outlet
for scholarship
in
this area, it states that management science covers "all aspects of
management
related
to
strategy,
entrepreneurship,
innovation,
information
technology,
and
organizations as well as
all
