5. Minor policy continued discussion. 

Here is the current wording:

"A minor consists of at least five courses (minimum of 15 credit hours) not required for a degree program. Since a minor provides a coherent set of ideas, concepts, and educational experiences in a variety of areas, students may find that a minor will enhance potential for professional development. Students who choose a minor are encouraged to consult with the minor advisor. Students who take the standard core curriculum's distribution of courses may apply them toward the requirements of any approved minor."

Proposed change to the first sentence:

A minor consists of at least five courses (minimum 15 credit hours), of which at least four courses (minimum 12 credit hours) are not required for a degree program.

6. Continued ‘major/minor’ discussion.
