program offerings in the department in line with programs found in physical education departments at other research universities. T h e minor provides undergraduate students with the background necessary for specialization at the graduate level in the study of sports and physical activity. It also allows students interested in various career options such as coaching, athletic administration, sports management, and sports law to prepare more broadly for their careers. T h e minor requires completion of 24 quarter hours of credit, divided between required courses and electives. It is available to physical education majors and minors, and the number of electives differs slightly between these groups. T h e establishment of the minor requires no additional budget for faculty members or any additional facilities. Library resources are deemed adequate to support the program.

Establishment of a Minor in Studio Arts, Chicago Circle

The Chicago Circle Senate has approved the establishment of a minor in studio arts in the School of Art and Design. Currently, the school offers a number of studio arts courses for students outside the College of Architecture, Art, and Urban Planning. T h e proposed minor would, however, give form to these offerings and would provide students majoring in related areas with the option of more extensive study in studio arts than is currently available. The minor in studio arts would require a minimum of 32 quarter hours in art and design, of which 16 hours would be required art-design courses, 4 hours would be chosen from several art-design course options, and 12 hours would be taken in 200- or 300-level studio arts courses selected from a specified list. The establishment of the minor requires no additional budgetary, staff, or library support.
