| Rationale: | |
| The Political Communication course (7600:475) has received final approval. It has been offered once a year, each fall, with a consistent enrollment. It makes sense to list this course with the other similar public communication courses because this course has been substituted for other courses that are not offered as frequently or for those that close quickly. | |
