356 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [July 21 I recommend approval subject to further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. O n motion of Mr. Grimes, this recommendation was approved. ESTABLISHMENT OF A DEGREE PROGRAM IN CRIMINALISTICS. CHICAGO CIRCLE (13) The Chicago Circle Senate has recommended the establishment of a baccalaureate degree program in criminalistics to be administered by the proposed new Department of Criminal Justice (presently the Curriculum in Criminal Justice), in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The degree program in criminalistics will concentrate on the scientific aspects of crime detection and hence will be heavily dependent upon supportive work in the natural sciences. It will serve to complement the degree program in the administration of criminal justice, which is oriented towards the social sciences. The degree of Bachelor of Science will be awarded to students who fulfill the graduation requirements of the University and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, as well as those for the major in criminalistics. The major program would require 52 hours in criminalistics and 55 hours in prerequisite and collateral courses distributed as follows: The Major — 52 hours: Criminal Justice 101, 210, 211, 212, 231, 259, 313, 314, 315, 351, 352, 353 Required Prerequisite and Collateral Courses — 55 hours: Chemistry 112, 113, 114, 121 Mathematics 104, 105 Physics 101, 102, 103 Psychology 100 Sociology 100, 131 The Minor—Students with other majors who wish to minor in Criminalistics must complete 30 hours distributed as follows: Criminal Justice 101, 210, 211, 212, 231, 259, 313 No additional funds would be required. The Chancellor at Chicago Circle 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 subject to further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. O n motion of Mr. H a h n , this recommendation was approved. REVISION IN T H E UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAM IN THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING. CHICAGO CIRCLE (14) The Board of Trustees approved the pattern of requirements for the single degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering at Chicago Circle on July 27, 1966 (p. 11, 1966-68 Report), The College of Engineering and the Senate at Chicago Circle now recommend modification of this action in three respects. I. Total hours and distribution. The present pattern, the proposed pattern, and the differences are as follows: proposed p m m t Difference Core, required of every student 113 108 —5 Area of concentration 36 40 +4 Social science and humanities 24 24 — Free electives 25 20 —5 Physical education University requirement — Total 198 192 —6 The reduction of five hours in the core involved no changes in mathematics, chemistry or rhetoric. A reconstitution of the physics requirement and modifications in the required technical engineering courses made possible the addition of an eight-hour required sequence in engineering design while reducing the total core requirement by five hours.
