(11) Under new Board of Higher Education procedures, new program approval requests must be received by July in order to be considered during the ensuing year. This policy has recently been established, so the Board of Higher Education staff members have agreed to accept programs approved for submission by the Board of Trustees at its July 16, 1975, meeting. The following baccalaureate degree programs, which are consistent with the University's previously established scope and mission policies, have been approved by the Chicago Circle Senate. 1 1. Bachelor of Science in Engineering Management. This program stands midway between the programs in business administration and engineering, providing training in the basic sciences and engineering in addition to a core of management-oriented courses to train the student in both the understanding and the administration of engineering and technology. Graduates might seek managerial positions in technological organizations as well as positions requiring a combination of engineering and management experience in nontechnological companies.
