2. Richard Nafshun, OSU Curriculum Council November 14, 2013 Executive Summary: This proposal seeks to rename the Master of Science (MS) in Counseling to Master of Counseling. This is a rename only. There will be no curricular changes. Rename the Existing Master of Science in Counseling Program to Master of Counseling Rationale: This is a non-thesis graduate program.

Sabah contacted the PSU Provost, who agreed not to oppose this at the Provost’s Council. CC Vote: The Curriculum Council unanimously approved this proposal.

4. Richard Nafshun, OSU Curriculum Council November 14, 2013 Executive Summary: The existing BS in Natural Resources; Urban Forest Landscape Option is a “mixed delivery” option on the Corvallis campus (i.e., contains both on- Campus and online courses). This proposal seeks to extend it to also be an all-Ecampus program. BS in Natural Resources; Urban Forest Landscape Option (to be Extended to Ecampus) Rationale: This will allow students who are working outside of the Corvallis area to take this program. Impacts to Students: This is good for those students who can only take the entire program via Ecampus. It will not affect the Corvallis-campus students. CC Vote: The Curriculum Council unanimously approved this proposal. Ecampus endorses this program
