NEW MAJOR PROGRAMS AT GEORGE MASON COLLEGE
The President reported that the Chancellor and the Faculty of George Mason College have proposed to the Provost the establishment of two new major programs leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree in Chemistry and in Mathematics. At present the College offers majors in Biology, History, English, and Business and Public Administration. The addition of these two programs, the President explained, is an important step in the necessary expansion of the undergraduate program of George Mason College. The President reported further that it is estimated that within three years each of these majors will have approximately fifty students.
