234 BOARD OF T R U S T E E S [March 21 Curriculum in W o o d Science for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Forestry be reduced from 136 to 126 credit hours. The reduction results from the redesign of courses to eliminate material that is no longer pertinent, from updating subject matter, from combining courses and deleting the summer industrial experience requirement. This revision brings the curriculum in line with other curricula in the Department of Forestry and the College of Agriculture. Establishment of Bioengineering Option, Urbana The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved a recommendation from the College of Engineering for the establishment of a bioengineering option. Students in any engineering curricula interested in the bioengineering option will be required to take a minimum of 16 hours in biologically oriented sciences — including chemistry, physiology, and veterinary medical science as well as engineering. They will be able to fulfill the requirements for the option by utilizing technical and free electives in the curriculum in which they are enrolled. Establishment of Companion Animal B i o l o g y Option, Urbana The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved a recommendation from the College of Agriculture for the establishment of an option in Companion Animal Biology for the major in Animal Science in the Curriculum in Agriculture leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Agriculture. This option is designed to prepare students for careers in the growing companion animal industry. Companion animal management courses will provide the nucleus for the option which will emphasize basic biological management, nutrition, genetics, physiology, ethology, and training of animals used as companions or in recreational activities. Discontinuation of Preveterinary Curriculum, Urbana The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved a recommendation from the Colleges of Veterinary Medicine and Agriculture that the preveterinary curriculum in the College of Agriculture be discontinued. For the most part, students in the College of Agriculture preveterinary curriculum have rarely taken any agriculture courses. Since students intending to apply for admission to the College of Veterinary Medicine are accepted from diverse educational backgrounds within the limits of general requirements, it does not now appear appropriate to designate certain administrative areas under which this work must be done. (In June 1972, Senate approval was given to the discontinuance of the preveterinary curriculum in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.) T h i s report w a s received for record.
