At the time the minor was created, part of the target audience was Construction Management and Engineering Management students because their curriculum required them to take 2 Interior Design courses that could be applied to the minor. This past year, this requirement was removed from their curriculum, putting a large dent in our target population. In addition, Design Foundation minors often struggle with Interior Architecture upper level courses because they lack the foundation needed for success. This proposal will not impact current students. Existing Design Foundation minors will have no problem completing their coursework. All course offerings will remain the same and will continue to be available. There are currently 14 minors with 9 credits or more to complete minor; There are currently 7 minors with 6 or less to complete minor. approved:8-0-0Economics,B.S.B.A.programmodification:addsBUS1410SuccessSeminar:ProfessionalExperienceItoprogramclearpathneedstobeupdated toincludeBUS1410–correctedapproved:8-0-0Entrepreneurship,B.S.B.A.programmodification:addsBUS1410SuccessSeminar:ProfessionalExperienceItoprogramapproved:8-0-0Finance:BusinessFinance,B.S.B.A.programmodification:addsBUS1410SuccessSeminar:ProfessionalExperienceItoprogramclearpathneedstobeupdated toincludeBUS1410–correctedapproved:8-0-0
