REVISION, C U R R I C U L U M IN URBAN AND REGIONAL PLANNING, URBANA

(8) The Urbana-Champaign Senate has recommended the revision of the curriculum in Urban and Regional Planning leading to the degree of Bachelor of Urban Planning to be effective September 1972. The revision involves a reduction in the number of hours required for graduation from 132 hours to 124 hours, a revision of the methods and urban studies listings to permit greater flexibility in selection of courses, and minor changes for clarification. The Dean of the College of Fine and Applied Arts and the Chancellor at Urbana-Champaign and the Executive Vice President and Provost concur in this recommendation. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no further Senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Pogue, this recommendation was approved.
