Statement of Faculty Senate Action:

APC Document 46:   Changes to Environmental Studies Natural Resource Management requirements.

Delete: Page 107 under concentration in Natural Resource Management, delete:

33 hours distributed as follows: ENVR 332, 334; and one advanced elective in ENVR; ACCT 201; ECON 101, 102, 337, 345; MGMT 220; one elective in MGMT; POLS 352.

Add: Page 107 under concentration in Natural Resource Management, add:

33 hours distributed as follows: ENVR 332, 334, two courses at the 300 level or above; ACCT 215 or one additional course in ENVR; ECON 101, 102, 337, 345; MGMT 220; one elective in MGMT.

Impact Statement: Perhaps a very slight decrease in overall enrollment in ACCT 215.

Rationale: 
a) ACCT 201 has been changed to ACCT 215.

b) We feel that this course is no longer essential for this concentration as opposed to getting broader background in ENVR, but is still viable as an option for students planning careers in the private sector.

c) The Political Science Department has discontinued POLS 352. Providing the opportunity for additional breadth in ENVR is an appropriate alternative.
