Liberal Studies Curriculum Committee 2/11/09, 2:00-3:00, Wygal Hall, Haga Room Minutes: The committee voted to change the Program Elective for LSTE (elem), LSTS (sped) and LSTU (with a minor) by deleting MUSC441 from the list of possibilities and adding “any Arts and Sciences course at the 300 or 400 level.” Elective/three (3) credits from the following: ART341 ECON115 MATH330/SCED330 MATH430 MUSC441 THEA443 MOLA202 Any Arts and Sciences course at the 300 or 400 level Reason for the change: Courses are not offered frequently enough and many course substitutions are made on a regular basis for these electives. Offering free choice of electives will be more reflective of the actual practice. Retroactive from Fall 2006 The committee agreed on the following meeting times for spring 09: March 19 – 3:30 April 9 – 3:30 Committee members listed the following agenda items for future meetings: Reading and Writing intensive courses for LS majors Some problems occurring in Martinsville Internships for non education LS majors How is that working in your area?
