The Eastern Council on Academic affairs met virtually Thursday to vote on five changes to programs on campus.

All five proposals on the agenda were approved by the council.

The first item was a change to the construction management major that will reflect changes made to the mathematics department. The changes resulted in the semester hours for the major increasing from 120-121 to 121-122.

The second item was a change to the accounting major. It constituted the removal of ACC 3750 Governmental Accounting from the required electives and added ACC 3950 Financial Data Analysis and Technical Communications to the required electives.

The final three items were all changes to special education programs. The changes were made to the special education major, the non-licensure special education major and the early childhood special education major.The changes were to remove several courses from the catalog.

Since next Thursday is a wellness day at Eastern, the next CAA meeting will be held March 25.
