What's New
CHANGE IN TOTAL UNITS REQUIRED FOR GRADUATION
UNDER 2003-05, 2001-03, AND 2000-01 CATALOGS

The following programs have either reduced their total units to 180 for the 2003-05 catalog or will reduce total units to 180 for the 2005-07 catalog. Blanket curriculum substitutions have been processed that allow retroactive reduction of total units for the 2003-05, 2001-03, and 2000-01 catalogs. The unit reduction is accomplished by eliminating 6 units of free electives. After the reduction, all of these programs still have a minimum of 8 units of free electives. The substitutions are effective beginning with students graduating in Winter 2004.
