MAPS CC contingencies 3/25/09 emailed to R Solomon cc: R Hughes & D Andereck res:

• Physics has granted concurrence if students with 571-572 with strong MatLab background can get 416 waived as a prereq
• can you require a minor within a major?  (Applied Discrete option) If so, this is fine. If not, include the minor courses as part of the track and would not get a minor-- [ADDED POST-MTNG FROM D ANDERECK: I think the most relevant data point is that Middle Childhood requires a minor in a particular program, Education, so that is a fine parallel and precedent.  I agree that we are all set. Dave]
• If students take 1 option they get 39 credits, another option get 40 credits- CSE 202- list it explicitly in Applied track; and prob/stats requirement on all programs
• Some of the tracks have a Stats course explicitly listed; some have it encouraged; in the GEC, BA programs require a Stats course. There is no explicit requirement in the BS in that it is assumed it is in the major program.  Also will list in the requirements for all tracks.
• Point #29- can excellence in teaching be added, or remove “as researchers in Mathematics”
• Point #25- 60 credit hours in GEC to 80; also change "strongly recommend" to require
• Point #26- lower electives to 50-55, and 51 to 71
• Point #20- New students expected- projected to be a net increase in 30 and a shift from traditional track to an applied track; of the 70 students graduating with a degree in Math each year; Perhaps change to declare a math major each year or formal admission process.  Then make the meeting of a faculty advisor as a prereq
• Some suggestions in concurrences/changes to elective options in track that will be incorporated
• Some renumbering; #5 track

Preliminary discussions in MAPS CC on 5-12 and 5-28-08. MPS CCC pending for AU08
