Impact:
EDUC

impact as they can take EDUC 210 and 211 as early as their second semester
sophomore year. Otherwise, these changes have no impact on the department; they
simply reflect updated titles and course descriptions.
Rationale:
Brings course numbers, titles, and hours into alignment
with the newly revised K-6 program.
