EXPLANATION/JUSTIFICATION FOR REQUESTED CHANGE(S). ENTER BOTH CURRENT AND PROPOSED DATA FOR EACH CHANGE (use additional pages as necessary):
As a part of a revision and revitalization of the B.S. Biology: Biotechnology Option (BIT), this course should be modified. The course was a part of a sequence of four-three hour courses that will be converted to a sequence of two-four credit hour courses with more laboratory time, to reduce the number of faculty needed to teach different courses, reduce the number of courses in the catalog, and to minimize, as much as possible, sequences that can affect the time until graduation for students in the BIT option. Two hours of lecture, four hours of lab per week. BIO 431 is a prerequisite.
