Hypothetical cases were described and discussed. Minimum units in particular sections were not specified so that students can construct the degree in a personally appropriate way.

The proposal included a mission statement, required courses moved to elective status, courses to be augmented, and new courses. The curriculum was received enthusiastically. However, there were some issues with totals for each semester.
