          PERF 328-GE: Japanese Traditional Performing Arts

          THEA 386-GE: Evolution of the American Musical

          POSC 201-GE: General Avian Science

          Foundational Core Component Area:  Mathematics:

          Foundational Core Component Area:  Social & Behavioral Sciences

          COMM 365-GE: International Communication

          HLTH 236-GE: Introduction to Health Disparities and Diversity

          SOCI 217-GE: Introduction to Race and Ethnicity

          SOCI 304-GE: Criminology

          Inactivation of the Core Curriculum Attribute by the Faculty Senate of 

          the following courses.

          Foundational Core Component Area:  Social and Behavioral Sciences

          URPN 370-GE: Health Systems Planning

          Reason: Course is not meeting the following minimum requirement for Core Courses: 10% of enrolled students utilize a core course to meet their requirement for the foundational component area.

   The CCC noted that while the course is a high demand course, teaching 700-800 students over the course of an academic year, students are not taking the course because it is a Social & Behavior Sciences course. The course is positioned such that few to no students taking the course need it or use it to meet their Social & Behavioral Sciences (SBS) requirement by the time they enroll in the course. This is evidenced by only 1% of its students using the course for their SBS requirement over the last 4 years. In addition, as an upper division course, its content is focused on 300-level course work rather than general education. The course’s core curriculum designation expires effective August 2025.

          URPN 203-GE: Smart Cities, Bit, Bots & Beyond

          Reason: course instructors/department requested removal of core attribute. The course’s core curriculum designation expires effective August 2025.

          New Core Curriculum Certification:

          Foundational Core Component Area:   Language, Philosophy, and Culture

          GLST 220-GE: Feminist Approaches to Science, Technology, and Medicine

          PSAA 210-GE: Integrated Solutions to Public Service Problems

          Foundational Core Component Area:  International and Cultural      Diversity (ICD) Designation:

          PHLT 307-ICD: Public Health in the Global Context
