Proposed Courses and Programs

(1)               CHANGE IN GRADUATE COURSES/CURRICULA

Changes to the Master of Education in Reading & Language Arts Program. All students will now be required to take a children's literature course (EDUC 633) or a Topics course in children's literature. Previously, a children's literature course was one of three electives. Some of the Reading Education courses will be given new prerequisites as well. RDED 623 will have a prerequisite of RDED 621, RDED 622 and a Children’s Literature course. Also RDED 624 will have a prerequisite of RDED 623 (and thus RDED 621, RDED 622 and a Children's Literature course, too). RDED 625 will have a prerequisite of RDED 623. Effective Fall 2001.                    The proposal passed without objection.
