Thank you for forwarding the request of the University of Maryland, College Park to change the names of the Master’s and Doctoral programs in Human Development Education to “Human Development.” I understand that there will be no change to the curricular requirements and that this request is to re-title the programs to align with the name of the department and better reflect the research and teaching activities in the department.

Sincerely yours,

Robert L. Caret Chancellor

Summary of Proposed Action (use additional sheet If necessary):

The Human Development program is requesting that an error in the name of the program be corrected to its

proper name. Specifically, the name of the program is Human Development. However, under the Maryland

Higher Education Commission (MHEG), both the Master's Degree and the Doctoral program are listed as

Human Development Education. As a result of this error, the incorrect name of the program is being listed on

the students' diplomas. The correct name "Human Development'' should be listed as the program name. No

changes to the curriculum are being made at this time.
