President’s Report on Actions of the Senates
(14) The president reported on the following actions of the senate.
Bachelor of Science in Geography, Chicago Circle
The Chicago Circle Senate has recommended the establishment of a curriculum
leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Geography. The program will pre-
pare undergraduate students to begin professional careers as geographers in one of
two areas of specialization - environmental analysis or resource utilization - or to
pursue graduate-level work in geography or closely related disciplines.
The new program will be offered in addition to the Department of Geography’s
current baccalaureate program which leads to the degree of Bachelor of Arts in
Liberal Arts and Sciences with a major in geography. Specific requirements of a
highly technical nature make the new program different from the program currently
offered.
Revision of Program Leading to the Bachelor of Social Work,
Chicago Circle
The Chicago Circle Senate has approved several changes in the program for the
Bachelor of Social Work: (1) increase from 48 to 57 the required quarter hours
taken in the College of Social Work, in order to meet professional accreditation
standards; (2) discontinue the requirement of a minor and require 24 hours of
specific social and behavioral science courses, in order to make the program less
restrictive; and (3) specify course and area prerequisites for admission, in order
to provide the liberal arts base required by the professional accrediting association.
