Justification For Request

What research has led to this request?

Originally, this course included a curriculum from Eureka Ranch that built upon the skills acquired in MGMT324 and MGMT325. We are breaking away from using the Eureka curriculum so the prereq is no longer needed. We also believe this change will help encourage more students to take MGMT424 from across campus.

What impact will this request have on existing academic programs?

None

What financial costs are associated with this request?

None

If NO change in cost is anticipated, how is this possible?

Just eliminating prereqs.
