           ADD to page 129 of the 1987-88 Catalog:



                   _______ ___ ______ ___________ ___

           IST 100 College and Career Exploration (1):  Designed for

           freshmen and sophomores, this course helps students understand

           the concept of a liberal arts education, adjust to college-level

           academic work, explore majors, and identify the variety of

           careers possible with a liberal arts background.



                   ______ ________ ___ _________ ___

           IST 300 Career Planning and Placement (1):  Designed for juniors

           and seniors who will seek placement after graduation, this

           course helps them translate their majors into specific career

           opportunities, teaches them the principles of life/career

           planning, and teaches them the specific skills (resume writing,

           interviewing and job search strategy) for job placement.

           Rationale:



           These two classes have been offered through the Management

           Department as Special Topics Courses taught by David Johnston,

           Director of Career Services.  However, they are applicable to

           all majors and especially useful to students majoring in one of

           the humanities or social sciences where clear career tracks do

           not exist after graduation.  Student-athletes are presently

           being encouraged to take them as part of the ACE Program, and

           the Teaching Fellows program will be encouraging participating

           students to take them in the future as well.



           While the Management Department will be glad to continue as the

           home for these courses, both the Department and the Career

           Center believe a broader identity would be more appropriate in a

           liberal arts university.



           ____

           NOTE:  The APC has examined the syllabi and grading practices

           for these courses and found them satisfactory as A through F

           graduation credit-bearing courses.
