Abstract
The Outdoor Recreation Leadership minor was developed 7 years ago. With changes in the Outdoor Recreation Fields the Outdoor Recreation Faculty believes the minor needs to be updated for better alignment with current trends. It is proposed to reduce the credit hours required to graduate with a minor in Outdoor Recreation Leadership from 24 to 20 by changing the core that is required from 20 to 14 credit hours within the current curriculum and changing the elective requirement from 4 credit hours to 6. The courses that are currently listed in Minor Electives Group I will be removed. Six credit hours of outdoor recreation activity courses that are currently offered within the curriculum will replace those listed under the Minor Electives Group 1. All other current course offerings will be placed in Minor Electives Group II.
These changes will make the minor more functional and attractive while providing a stronger, more applicable base of course work to the students choosing a minor in Outdoor Recreation Leadership.The following course descriptions will have the course prerequisites removed. RECR 1177 (Adventure Water Sports), RECR 2220 (Program Planning and Organization) and RECR 3330 (Group Leadership). Course prerequisites currently required are not necessary for course completion and success.

Abstract
First, we propose to change the wording in the catalog with regards to Directed Research, PSYC 4490 and Directed Studies, PSYC 4480. This word change will essentially be the same wording we have in the catalog now, except it will detail that students can repeat the course for credit.
Our second proposed change involves PSYC 3340, Intervention Techniques and Applications. The proposal we are making here is to change the level of the course to the 4000 level. The course number will now be PSYC 4470 and a pre-requisite will be PSYC 4410, Theories of Personality.
