Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): These two minor changes to the course description improve accuracy. BI 357 is called ¿General Ecology¿ not simply ¿Ecology¿ and BI 370 is now being offered in fall term (not spring term). This course description change involves no new FTE or space requests. |

Students/Program affected: Elective for Biology Minor, some Biology Major emphases Requirement for Environmental Studies Minor |
