The Council on Academic Affairs will meet today at 2 p.m. in Room 4440 of Booth Library. The council will deliberate on seven possible new courses and hear a presentation on the School of Continuing Education special courses.

 Of the possible new courses, all of them come from the Foreign Language department and three include the title of Advanced Oral Proficiency in the language of French, Spanish and German.  The other four courses include beginning and intermediate level classes in the language of Italian. 

If approved the classes would be available in the fall 2012 semester for the first half of the classes (Beginning Intermediate Italian I) and for the Spring 2013 semester for the second half of the classes (Beginning and Italian II).

Also on the agenda is a presentation by Dr. Mary Herrington-Perry of the Academic Affairs department about School of Continuing Education special courses that have been offered throughout Eastern’s history. 

Perry will talk about these past courses and give information about special course offerings for summer 2009-Spring 2012.  She will also present findings and data about summer 2009-Spring 2012 Special Courses that Eastern will offer.

There are no committee reports on the agenda; however, there is one request for executive action regarding the revision of prerequisites for Communication classes.
