Justification For Request

What research has led to this request?

The Department of Communication, Media, and Culture completed significant curricular overhaul, including writing new course descriptions for all COMM and JOUR courses. The new course description is written to be clearer about what the course involves and be easier for students to understand.

What impact will this request have on existing academic programs?

The course is not changing in terms of its course content or learning outcomes. These changes should only impact the Communication major by making it clear to students what the course is designed for.

What financial costs are associated with this request?

None.

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

This only updates the course title and description, with no other changes.
