a. Proposal: Change the title and content of a current course (EDLS 645) as well as add a new course (EDLS 615). In addition, eliminate two courses from the curriculum (Educ 710, Research Methods and EDUC 711, Educational Statistics). Both of these courses no longer meet the needs of administrators relative to their positions in schools. The new course, EDLS 615, will take their place. This will reduce major requirements from 39 to 36 credit hours.
