(Voting
Units: Academic)
“Proposal
to Shelve Degree Program: B.S. in Operations and Systems Management”
Name of Program: Bachelors of Science in Operations and
Systems Management
Final semester program was open for new admits:
Per Proposal 17-11, shelving will take effect June 30, 2013. The final semester
will be Summer 2013 for new admits.
Plan to complete all enrolled students and any
returning students: Students will be given the
option to change over to the B.S. in Management with concentration in Supply
Chain and Operations Management or will be allowed to complete the current
program with suitable substitute courses.
Several courses listed on the degree audit were from outside of the
School of Business and Economics and are not offered on a regular basis. There
are courses available in the School of Business and Economics, School of
Technology, and/or Department of Mechanical Engineering-Engineering Mechanics
that will serve as suitable substitutes.
Reason for Shelving:
The current major, B.S. in Operations and Systems Management, has been
converted to a B.S. in Management with a concentration in Supply Chain and
Operations Management. There were lower
than expected enrollments and the new concentration offering will allow for
better utilization of faculty resources.
Financial Impact (if any) to the department and
university: None
