                            Mgmt. 180   Management Functions (3)



                            An overview of management theory and

                            practice.  Designed solely for the

                            non-management student.  (No credit

                            toward management or accounting degree.)



                 Page 142   Mgmt. 200 - New description:



                            A study of the external environment of

                            private, public, and service organizations

                            integrated with management theory and

                            processes.



                 Rationale:



                 Mgmt 200 will be a Principles of Management course.  

                 It will be the first course to be taken in our

                 department by Management majors.  Up to this time we

                 have not had a course which could be clearly identified

                 as a principles course.  To meet our professional

                 responsibilities to our students such a course is

                 necessary.



                 Mgmt 180 has been redesigned to act as a service course

                 for all students in the university.  It allows any

                 student in any major to take an introductory type course

                 which will cover in a general manner the entire field of

                 management, business, and the non-profit organizational

                 sector of our economic system.  At present there is no

                 course in Management which allows non-management majors

                 to be introduced to this vital part of society.



                 In terms of precedent the following departments have

                 introductory courses which are designed for non-majors

                 and which do not carry credit towards their major:

                 Physics 111, Chem 133, Atmos 105, Envl 131.  The

                 purpose of Mgmt 180 is to help students throughout

                 the university make career choices which are based on 

                 an exposure to as many different interest areas as

                 possible.  To deny beginning students an opportunity

                 to be exposed to such information is to seriously lessen

                 our dedication to serving all our students.  In the 


                                                                Page 2





                 proposed catalogue listing course Mgmt 180 will be

                 clearly marked:  "no credit for management majors."

                 It is our intent as noted above that this course be a

                 service course designed with the best interest of all

                 the students in mind.



                 Thank you for your consideration of this request for

                 review.

            II.  To ADD to Accounting courses listing:



                 "271-4, 371-4, 471-4 Special Topics in Accounting (1-4)

                 Courses not included in the catalogue but for which there

                 may be special needs.  May be repeated for credit as

                 often as permitted and as subject matter changes.

                 Prerequisites:  As indicated for the respective course."



                 Rationale:



                 Since Accounting courses are now listed separately in

                 the catalogue it is desirable to permit special topics

                 in Accounting.



                 Effective:  Immediately.

                             "A small group experiential format

                             gives students an opportunity to practice

                             team-building processes and to apply

                             organizational behavior and general

                             management concepts to the task of planning

                             for their own professional developments."
