BOARD OF T R U S T E E S

[March 19

College of Liberal Arts and Sciences that the Master of Arts in the Teaching of Spanish degree program be revised. The revised program will require nine units of course work as opposed to the current eight units. The expanded degree will require all students in the program to take courses in foreign language education, and the students will have the choice of specializing in Spanish literature, linguistics, or a combination of both. The lack of foreign language education courses and the restriction to the study of Spanish literature caused the degree to be little more than a weakened master's degree in literature. The revisions make the M A T S more responsive to the needs of the students whose career interests combine both Hispanic studies and studies of the science and art of teaching. Revision of Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies Degree The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved a recommendation from the College of Fine and Applied Arts for a revision of the Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies degree program. The revised program will require a total of 127 hours of course work for graduation. Previously, 124 hours were required. The increase is due to a change in the general education and nonarchitecture course requirements from 56 hours to 59 hours. T h e three hour increase is reflected by an increase in the genera] and professional elective courses and by a shift to the teaching of art and design in separate courses. These changes increase the flexibility of the curriculum and release constraints on undergraduate art and design instruction brought about by the teaching of both disciplines in combined courses. Teacher Education Minor in Women's Studies, Urbana The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved a recommendation from the College of Education for the establishment of a Teacher Education Minor in Women's Studies. The new program will require two introductory Women's Studies courses totaling 6 hours plus 18 hours of Women's Studies electives to be chosen in consultation with the student's major adviser and the Office of Women's Studies. The purpose of the minor is to inform teacher education students about recent research on women with the expectation that such material would (1) strengthen existing courses by describing and explaining continuing changes in men's and women's social roles and (2) provide a basis for new courses at the secondary level.

This report was received for record.
