Meeting called to order at 1:10pm.

1. The minutes from the 29 January, 2004 meeting were reviewed and
approved.

2. The meeting of the Committee on 8 April is changed to 7 April, 2004
from 1:00 to 3:00pm. Any change to the May meeting will be decided
during the March meeting.

3. The minors in the various areas were collected by Deb Cowles.
Question was raised whether all minor areas in the School of Business
should require a comprehensive examination. It was agreed that the
Committee has the right to insist on a comprehensive examination if it
so chooses.

4. With regard to item 5 of 29 January, 2004 minutes, Tracy Green
indicated that the Graduate Council has approved the flexibility of
either 3 or 4 courses for the minor areas.

5. Information Systems submitted a proposal for a new description of
prerequisite material for the Ph.D. in Business in that department to
replace the existing language in the current Graduate Bulletin. After
some discussion of the proposal, the Committee suggested that
Information Systems study the issue further and resubmit the proposal
for consideration during the March, 2004 meeting.

6. The Committee discussed at length the draft document on Learning
Goals and Measures for the Ph.D. program in Business. The consensus
belief of the Committee is to involve appropriate faculty in formulating
a final document on Learning Goals and Measures.

7. Meeting adjourned at 3:05pm
