LSS 01-24

Revision of Bachelor of Arts in Political Science major

The revision in the major will (1) more closely aligns our major with West Lafayette and political science majors across the country to reflect its basis as a social science, (2) the structure has been made more flexible to permit students more easily to manage their programs to have classes available for when they need them, and (3) incorporates a useful practicum into the major.  It also permits students going to school in the evening flexibility to meet the requirements to get a degree without having to postpone their graduation for lack of available appropriate classes.

LSS 01-26

Replacement of COM 255 with ENGL 492 in the reqs for English teaching majors

The new state standards for English teachers no longer require coursework in journalism.  As a result, COM 255, while it may remain as a worthwhile elective for students, should be dropped as a requirement from the English teaching curriculum.  It should be replaced with West Lafayette course ENGL 492—Literature in the Secondary Schools—a content-area course that will better prepare future middle school and high school English teachers for the material that they will be expected to teach on a day-to-day basis.
