a. Rationale for
creation, revision, or deletion:
To
meet the needs of a new faculty member, we are adding Psyc 344,
Psychology of Language to one of our core course categories, Cognitive
Psychology. This addition is the only substantive
change in the major/minor requirements
we propose. We also propose to change the name of Psyc 320 below from Behavioral Neuroscience to Introduction
to Neuroscience. This course, Psyc 320, has been approved by the Arts & Sciences
Educational Affairs committee as a new course, effective 9/l/05. We had anticipated approval of this new
course in our previous curriculum proposal, approved last year, but the course
had a different name (behavioral neuroscience).
The new major curriculum is below.
