Re: Minor Changes to Crop Sciences Agroecology Option
The Crop Sciences Department requests minor changes in the Crop Sciences Agroecology optionas described below.
The changes are listed on the attached page and shown on the attached option sheets. CPSC 236and CPSC 305 were developed since the option was developed. These courses are central to thecurr'iculurn and should be required. With the addition of these required courses, several otherclas~)es (CPSC 120, CPSC 310 or 321, and PL PA 204) were moved to the "select from" groupand the required number of courses from that group was increased from two to three. A fewother courses were also added to that group.
The~;e changes have been approved by the Crop Sciences Teaching Committee.
