The change in name for the Food and Agribusiness Management minor to

Food and Agribusiness Marketing and Management is fine with the

Department of Business Administration.

Describe the rationale for the proposed program change(s):

(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the curriculum or program.)

 

Rational for Name Change:

 

This will keep the name of the Minor consistent with the new name (pending) of the Major, Food and Agribusiness Marketing and Management.

 

Rational for Revision in the Requirements:

 

FREC 427 is no longer offered by the Department and so is deleted. The addition of FREC 430 keeps the number of overall options constant (students must take 5 total of the 9) and reflects the increased emphasis on this course.  Lastly, this reorganization also gives a better mix of 300 and 400 level courses across the two areas.

 

Program Requirements: 

(Show the new or revised curriculum as it should appear in the Course Catalog.  If this is a revision, be sure to indicate the changes being made to the current curriculum and include a side-by-side comparison of the credit distribution before and after the proposed change.)
