The form wil l be submitted to a com mittee made up of your advisor, the com munication department chairman, and a third 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 your graduation requirements. In making its decision the committee will consider the following: ( I ) The proposed courses should prepare you well for your stated career objectives. (2) The proposa l should focus study to a limited area which can be covered in depth.
