February 11, 2015

There was not a specific agenda set for this meeting.  The committee used this time for the following discussions:

Whether it is possible to have a calculus-based physics sequence that requires only 1 semester of calculus (Claus posed this question to Greg Sitz in Physics)

What is the impact of the BSA on pursuit of the BS degrees

Whether the BS degrees should be made more rigorous so that students make clear choices in their first 1.5 to 2 years about which degree/major to pursue

How degrees across the college could have similar structures/order of requirements to make it easier for students to compare degrees/majors against each other

No specific decisions were reached.
