SENATE DOCUMENT #20

                             APC Document #12


The Academic Policies Committee recommends to the Faculty Senate
the adoption of the following catalog changes for the Department of
Management:


1.	p. 98 - Delete:  Econ 115 and 116, and on

	p. 125 - ADD the following:
	
	Management 215  Principles of Accounting I  (3)

	An introduction to financial accounting.  The balance sheet,
	income statement, and statement of changes in financial
	position are examined.  Focus is on understanding the items
	that make up these statements and grasping their use in
	decision making.  (Students who have completed Economics 115
	may not take this course for credit.)

	Management 216  Principles of Accounting II  (3)

	An introduction to management accounting.  Techniques of
	accounting for internal control, accounting for planning,
	and accounting for special decisions are presented.  The
	appropriate uses of quantitative skills in managing a variety
	of organizations are discussed.  (Students who have completed
	Economics 116 may not take this course for credit.)

	Rationale:  (a)  The Economics Department has initiated a shift
	of responsibility for these courses to the Management Department.
	The content is much more compatible with the offerings of the
	latter.  (b)  The shift to the 200 level is recommended because
	freshmen typically have considerable difficulty with the courses
	-- apparently because they have not yet developed study regimens
	and personal discipline.  (c)  Course descriptions have been
	modified to coincide with the current distribution between the
	two semesters of the year sequence.  (d)  Change in course titles
	is to bring the titles into line with long-standing custom
	nationally.

2.	p. 123 - delete the third paragraph under "A Major in Management,"
	and ADD the following in this place:

	To fulfill the second objective, the student is required to 
	complete a core of 36 semester hours of management courses
	distributed as follows:  Management 140, 200, 215, 216, 311,
	380, 430, 480, and 490.

	Rationale:  Accounting (Econ 115 and 116) presently are required
	as prerequisites to Mgmt 480.  By a more forthright inclusion in
	the core, not only is clarity achieved, but free electives are
	increased.

3.	p. 123-4 - Change Business Management and Administration track as
	follows:

	Delete:  Econ 115 and 116

	ADD:  Mgmt 460  Production Management
	      Mgmt elective approved by advisor

	Rationale:  The accounting requirement has been shifted to the
	management core.  Production concepts are vital to any kind of
	business activity.  It is anticipated that the management elective
	inserted here eventually will be replaced by a course in effective
	communications when the Language Department has developed such a
	course permanently.

4.	p. 124 - Change the Financial Management track as follows:

	Delete:  Econ 115 and 116

	ADD:  Econ 235  Economic Statistics and Econometrics
	      Mgmt 340  Business Law

	Rationale:  Accounting requirement has been shifted to the 
	management core.  Both statistical analysis and business law
	(particularly contracts and negotiable instruments) are central
	to financial management needs.

5.	p. 125 - Change number and title of Management 240 as follows:

	From:  Mgmt 240  The Job of the Manager in a Changing Society  (3)
	To:    Mgmt 140  The Management Environment  (3)

	Description remains the same except to note, "Students who have
	completed Management 240 or 300 may not take this course for
	credit."

	Rationale:  TITLE change is to communicate more clearly the 
	content.  Somewhat similar courses elsewhere are called The
	Social Environment of Business, Business and Its Environment,
	The Ethical Environment of Business, etc.  NUMBER change is
	designed to encourage freshmen to take this course (a) to
	provide greater flexibility in course choices and schedules 
	for management majors in subsequent years, (b) to provide 
	freshmen an opportunity to sample management as a potential
	major area of study, (c) to provide an additional alternative
	selection to replace the semester of humanities which is being
	advanced to the senior year.

6.	p. 127 - Change prerequisite for Management 380 as follows:

	From:  Management 200.
	To:    Management 200 and  Computer Resources 100.

	Rationale:  In common with the objectives of similar courses
	in other institutions, elementary knowledge of computer
	applications makes it possible to cover in considerable depth
	a wider variety of quantitative analytical tools.  The development
	of the course over the past four years has made this need more
	obvious.

7.	p. 128 - Change credit for Mgmt 490 FROM 9 hrs. TO 8 hrs.

	Rationale:  The addition of 6 credits of accounting to the core
	requirement would bring total core requirements to 37 unless an
	adjustment elsewhere is made.  The internship is designed to be
	full-time for a term, which is a half-semester.  Eight credits
	is half of a reasonable 16-credit semester load, thus preserving
	a proportionate relationship.

8.	p. 128 - ADD the following statement to #5 under Mgmt 490:

	In such instances, students are required to complete eight hours
	of additional course work in Management (exclusive of Management
	courses applying to the students' track requirements), with such
	substitution subject to the approval of the department chairman.

	Rationale:  Without such a statement, there is a tacit implication
	that credit is given for prior job experience.  Such has never
	been intended.
