  ART 331 - Graphic Design I: Image, Sign and Symbol (Change: Prerequisite & Description) - The UGC approved ART 331 and ART 332 but wanted to suggest that the department amend the catalog description to read that for ART 331 it recommend ART 332 as a CO-requirement, and for ART 332 that it recommend ART 331. As it reads now, the language is confusing.

• GES 488 - Spatial Data Analysis and GIS Applications (New) - The UGC tabled GES 488 for the following reasons: 1. the course is repeatable, but not for how many credits. 2. the UGC needs to see a listing of specific reading assignments on the syllabus, not merely a listing of topics. 3. Moreover, the committee wondered why the textbook is optional. The department was made aware that if they wish to teach this course this coming spring, they should obtain emergency approval from Toni Moreira. The UGC will take up this course at its next meeting, in early February, provided we have received answers to our questions.
• Entrepreneurship and Innovation Minor - (Proposed Minor) - Drs. Lindenmeyer and LaCourse attended the UGC meeting and discussed the minor. The UGC voiced it's concern regarding that the minor is not in a academic department but it was explained by Dr. Lindenmeyer and Dr. LaCourse how the minor would be managed. The minor will remain tabled and the UGC will continue to discuss the minor and invite Dr. Lindemeyer and Dr. LaCourse back for more discussions.
