              Delete: Program D - Individualized Major in Economics



              Rationale:  Since its introduction, no student has

                          declared Program D.



         II. 1. p. 77 Current Catalog



              Change:  Program A - Public Policy Analysis

                  either Math 181 or 191.



                  Recommended courses:  Philosophy 200 or Philosophy 307;

                  Management 215; 2 courses in Computer Science; Management

                  304.  (Math 191 recommended for those planning graduate

                  study.)



               2. p. 78 Current Catalog



              Change:  Program B - Monetary Economics and Finance

                   Management 216; 2 courses in Computer Science.  

                   (Math 191 recommended for those planning

                   graduate study.)



              3.  p. 78 Current Catalog



              Change:  Program C - Applied Quantitative



              Section I - Delete current statement and replace with the

                           following:



              1.  Required courses in the major:  34 hours including 200,

                  201, 365, 300, 301, 335, 341, 360, 490 plus six hours

                  from Economics or from Management 215, 216, 380, 460.

              Section II - Delete current statement and replace with the

                           following:



              II.  Required courses outside major:  6 hours:  Math 125;

                   Math 181 or 191.



                   Recommended courses:  2 courses in Computer Science.

                   (Math 191 recommended for those planning graduate 

                   study.)



              Rationale for II - 1, 2, 3:



              The new requirements and recommendations reflect new

              additions to the University's curriculum and changes in

              employer and graduate school expectations of undergraduate

              educational experience.  



        III.  p. 81 Current Catalog



              Change:  Prerequisite statement for 306 to read as 

                       follows:



              Prerequisite:  Mgmt. 215 or by permission.



              Rationale:  The content in 306 draws upon many of the

              concepts covered in Mgmt. 215, however students with

              particular work experience or sufficient depth in economics

              may be sufficiently familiar with the concepts to bypass

              Mgmt. 215.



         IV.  p. 80 Current Catalog



              Change:  Title of Econ. 150 from Consumer Economics

                       to Personal Finance



              Rationale:  This title more accurately describes the

              subject matter of Econ 150 as currently taught and described

              in the catalog.
