Religion
Proposed change to religion major and minor (see catalog changes):
The religion department proposes to eliminate RELG 401 as a requirement for the religion major. The religion major would be composed of nine courses. RELG 400 would be the capstone experience, with the expectation that students will take the course in their junior year and only enroll in it as seniors with permission from the department.
We also propose to amend the religion minor to include RELG 400 instead of one of the 300-level electives.

WGSS 379/LAW Special Topic: Feminist Legal Theory Seminar
