Thi» change was approved in order to have uniform policies for graduate degree requirements in all departments in the College of Engineering. Establishment- of a Minimum Doctoral G r a d e Requirement, Ph.D. in Social W o r k , Chicago T h e Chicago Senate has approved the following requirement of the Jane Addams College of Social Work: Any doctoral student who receives a final grade of " C " or lower in more than one of the five core courses required of all JACSW doctoral students will be dropped from the program. In the past, students who have received more than one " C " or a lower grade in core course work have been allowed to remain in the program, but ultimately failed to pass the comprehensive examination and had to leave the program. The college feels that it is more humane for all involved to have students leave the program earlier, rather than after they have invested a year or two of study. Revision of Options I, I I , and III, Bachelor of Science in Physical Education, Chicago The Chicago Senate has approved revisions to all three options of the Bachelor of Science in Physical Education including the following: T h e number of hours required for the degree has been changed (Option I, from 189 to 196; Option I I , from 197 to 196; and Option I I I , from 186 to 180); credit and course changes have been made in conformance with campus requirements ; and four courses have been added to the physical education core. The changes in all three options have been proposed and approved in order to address the expanded knowledge base in physical education, to place more emphasis (in the teacher certification programs of Options I and I I ) on field experience and competency in analyzing and teaching skills, and to expand the activity curriculum as a result of the increased number of skills courses being taught at the elementary and secondary levels. The addition of the preresearch program in exercise physiology to Option I I I is designed to give students the necessary background in basic sciences — chemistry, physics, and mathematics. The addition of a nonteaching certification, dance-education program to Option I I I is intended to give dance students more intensive training and practice. The Criteria for Graduation with Honors, College of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation, Chicago The Chicago Senate has approved changes to the criteria for graduation with honors in the College of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation. The changes include: (1) the establishment of uniform criteria for students enrolled in all three options of the program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Physical Education (in the past, students in Option I I I had to meet slightly different requirements); and (2) the addition to distinction for the completion of PE 298 with a minimum grade of " B " (PE 298 is currently required for both high distinction and highest distinction). The purpose of the changes is to establish for all physical education students uniform criteria for graduation with honors. Revision of the Dance Minor, College of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation, Chicago T h e Chicago Senate has approved the following changes to the Dance Minor in the College of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation: (1) added PE 197— Bioscience of Dance (4 hours) as a required course; (2) added two existing courses, PE 225-History and Philosophy of Dance (4 hours) and PE 226-Dance
