IV. The Committee wishes to inform the Senate that the following changes (housekeeping in nature) have been made to degree requirements:

B. M.S. in Computer Science (To add more precise descriptions, including GRE requirement and deadlines.)

C. Graduate Studies (To put requirements for mathematics programs in the appropriate sections.  To move section for clarity.  To update entry requirements.  To provide a more precise description of restricted status.)

D. Graduate Certificate in Gerontology (To make curriculum consistent with Guidelines of Association for Gerontology in Higher Education.)
