Explanation:
The Ryan Act has eliminated teaching credentials in several areas, which are now "subsumed" under English. In order to provide suitable programs, an "English core program" which meets the minimum requirements for the credential has been developed. This core program is incorporated into various degree programs. In English, Comparative Literature, and Journalism, the resulting package fits into existing degree patterns. In Speech Communication, Theatre Arts, and Radio/TV there is no existing program which will fit, and a new option is necessary to allow students to receive a teaching credential along with a degree.
Effective Immediately. Will be published in 1975-76 General Bulletin.
