CHANGES TO MAJORS:

CHEM

LAIS:
On November 6, the LAIS department recommended that the LAIS major include a policy regarding courses offered in a language different that Spanish with C-LAC . This would have the added benefit of bringing LAIS in alignment with practices in MLC regarding C-LAC courses. Thus, the LAIS faculty voted to add the following language to the "additional requirements for majors":
A maximum of 3 courses with C-LAC component can count towards the LAIS major (only 1 of these courses may be taken outside the department). The  policy does not apply to the minor.
