A memo from Vice Chancellor Pamela D. Walker was discussed. It was pointed out that our Multimedia Journalism degree matches with the AA-T in Journalism and will need to be created. Also, our Life Science degree is under the same TOPs code as the Biology TMC, so that degree will also need to be put together. Also, although we do not offer an Economics degree, we have all the courses that make up the Economics TMC, so that degree will need to be put together as well.
