Abstract
The revised General Education Program effective Fall 2023 resulted in an oval increase in 3 credits required to complete the B.S. in Biol Adol Incl Education. To stay consistent with the Content Area course offerings for that program, we have decided to coordinate elimination of the requirement for a second semester of Introductory Physics (PHS210) for these non-inclusive majors as well. Also, we realized the inclusion of "cognate courses" for this Non-Inclusive Adol major was a mistake; cognates are connected to the Inclusive Cert. only. Finally, the newly prescribed General Education requirements are updated to add additional flexibility to student choice for completion.
