Develop a specific degree plan and rationale essay explaining that plan, documents which then go to an Assessment Committee for approval. Investigations will deal with the nature of college degrees, academic and professional expectations for degrees and breadth/integration/progression.

Students will be expected to participate in discussions at least twice a week.
