| Rationale: | |
| Due to the change made to 2540:273 Computer-based Graphic Presentations (see SC-06-13), the Office Technology-Legal Administrative Assistant Option loses one credit hour from its current total required credits. Additionally, the Business Management Technology department recently replaced 2420:171 Business Calculations with 2420:170 Applied Mathematics for Business in its General Business and Accounting option requirements. Business Calculations will likely not be offered again. | |
