The Council of Academic Affairs will vote to approve various revisions at the meeting today.

The revisions include: the marketing major, criteria for the Lumpkin School of Business application, the public relations minor and the possible addition of an Advanced Interpersonal Communications course.

If passed, the marketing major will now allow students to complete a marketing program aboard and have it count as a part of their major, the program must be between 1-15hours. And will be applicable in the Fall of 2010.

Possible changes to the public relations minor would include getting rid of the currently required internship, as well as not requiring students to take three of the classes currently required for the minor and giving multiple options for those classes that would remain required.

Overall, the minor would now require students to complete 15 credit hours as opposed to the previous 18 hours.

After the cancellation of its Dec. 2 meeting, the CAA will have their final meeting of the Fall Semester at 2 p.m. in Booth Library today.

CAA Chairman Larry White said the cancellation was due to a lack of items on the agenda.

“There wasn’t much on the agenda, so it really was a coin flip on whether to meet last week or this week, but this week we have the waiver reports so we chose this week,” White said.

The waiver reports are made by each college if a student’s needs differ from the catalog. All four colleges will submit their reports at today’s meeting.

White said the council will then review them, and raise questions if they see patterns that could lead to further issues.

Overall White said the meeting should be very productive.

“We’re trying to clear the slate for spring so we can start fresh with what might be coming our way,” White said.
