Date of First Reading:          April 23, 2012

Title of Motion:                     Request from the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering – for the disestablishment of a graduate degree – Master of Science (MSE) in Aerospace Engineering

Action Requested:

The Curriculum and Academic Programs Committee recommends University Senate approval of a proposal submitted by the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering – for the disestablishment of a graduate degree – Master of Science (MSE) in Aerospace Engineering

Rationale:

This degree is being disestablished in order to consolidate virtually identical degrees into one with culminating experience options (thesis and non-thesis).  Additionally, by having one degree with multiple options allows the students more flexibility to move between the different culminating experiences without any barriers.
