The form will be submitted to a committee made up the Communication Studies Department chairman, and a second faculty member. The committee may accept the proposal as submitted, make minor modifications before accepting it, or reject it. If accepted, the proposal becomes part of the student ʼ s graduation requirements. In making its decision the committee will consider the following: (1) the proposed courses should prepare students well for stated career objectives; (2) the proposal should focus study to a limited area which can be covered in depth; (3) the academic rigor of the proposal should be at least equal to that expected of other Communication Studies concentrations; and (4) if, in the judgment of the committee, these goals can be met better through another major or concentration the proposal will be rejected.
