[ Section 2.1, Changes in Program Content ]
a)
b)
co)
qd)
[ ] No changes in program content. Proceed to Section 2.2.
Check all that apply. Describe each proposed change and why it is proposed.
[ ] Cumulative change from SED’s last approval of the registered program of one-third or more of the minimum credits
required for the award (¢.g., 20 credits for associate degree programs, 40 credits for bachelor’s degree programs)
[ ] Changes in a program’s focus or design
[ ] Adding or eliminating one or more options, concentrations or tracks
[ ] Eliminating a requirement for program completion (such as an internship, clinical placement, cooperative education,
or other work or field-based experience). Adding such requirements must remain in compliance with SUNY credit
cap limits.
[ ] Altering the liberal arts and science content in a way that changes the degree classification of an undergraduate
program, as defined in Section 3.47(c)(1-4) of Regents Rules
[X] Other:
The proposed change substitutes BFIN 525 for BFIN 603, the course previously included in this program. This change is
necessary because BFIN 525 is the first course available that will meet the Financial Management curriculum objectives.
In the event that students take only one finance elective, BFIN 525 is the most appropriate course.
Provide a side-by-side comparison of all the courses in the existing and proposed revised program that clearly indicates
all new or significantly revised courses, and other changes.
