4. Music IC course – exception to max two course in breadth policy
Noted catalog copy is not consistent with GE policy document and should be changed for 2012/13 academic year. Catalog states not more than 2 courses from one department in breadth, Integration and MI. The GE policy document states:
A maximum of two courses from one department or program may be applied to satisfy the Breadth requirements. However, a department or program may prohibit any Breadth course from simultaneously satisfying its own departmental or programmatic requirements.
The IC course in the music department is therefore not in violation of GE policy as approved by the senate.
