credits required for the award (e.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

Description: Changes were made to add a senior seminar in Anthropology and require more upper division electives,
to ensure students had a holistic understanding of the discipline. In addition, 100 level introductory classes in
cultural anthropology, archeology, and evolution replaced 200 level introductory courses in the same topics, to
ensure courses were truly introductions to the broad topics in Anthropology. Upper level elective options were added
and changed based on new faculty expertise.

all new or significantly revised courses, and other changes.
