PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE UNIVERSITY
CHAPTER OF THE UNDERGRADUATE CATALOG, 2000-2002
| On page 15, in the section HONORS, under
the heading GRADUATION WITH UNIVERSITY HONORS, add the following
footnote for the Red McCombs School of Business: |
To Graduate with University Honors,
a student in the Red McCombs School of Business must have completed
at least sixty semester hours of coursework in residence at the University.
Rationale: The faculty of the Red McCombs School of Business
believes that the Honors designation should be indicative of the quality
of the work performed by students in a competitive classroom setting.
Therefore, the Honors designation should be earned based on sixty hours
completed in residence.
