                                                          vii.      Question of if there are Philosophy courses that might be appropriate – Deb to follow-up with Don Hubin to see if there are Ethics courses that might be added

                                                        viii.      Concern expressed that the capstone course does not focus enough on globalization; intention of course is to take a topic in globalization and focus the research around it; suggested that a resource list for topics students might chose be listed; new course request form must be submitted before committee will approve this course; suggested that a research colloquium be included in course

                                                           ix.      Question of what the Assessment plan is – needs to be fleshed out more

                                                             x.      Question of whether there is enough in the major for Honors students to pursue the degree- suggested that these students would have to be advised in order ensure that the students achieve the upper level course requirements, H783s will most likely be taken in the department that the faculty member they work with is housed

                                                           xi.      Overall, committee thinks that the proposal looks good, will accept questions above answered via email
