    • Notes (not required):

      This program needs to be reviewed and approved by Curriculum Committee this fall so that there is time to get CO approval and start the WSCUC Substantive Change process. The WSCUC Substantive Change will take about 12 months to fully complete. To be able to enroll students in fall 2020, we will need WSCUC approval by spring 2020. Thanks for considering the tight time-line for getting this program up and going.
