9. EXPLANATION OF THE CHANGE:
The state of South Dakota requires students to complete 150 credit hours to be eligible to sit for
the CPA exam. Presently USD accounting students enrolled in the Beacom School of Business
achieve this through completion of a joint Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) and
Master of Professional Accountancy (MPA) program wherein they complete 120 credit hours at
the undergraduate level and 30 credit hours at the graduate level.
The purpose of this proposal is to correct an error on the business elective requirement from 4-6
to 9 hours. Some coursework moved into the MPA curriculum thus was no longer required in the
BBA. The total credits for the BBA Degree program are unchanged. Total credits within the
discipline would increase to 51.
No changes are being proposed at the graduate level.

8. EXPLANATION OF THE CHANGE:
When the International Studies Major was created, the originators believed that a minor in a
modern foreign language (MFL) was necessary to round out the program. However, given the
changing nature of the global community and the languages therein, the needs of both the private
and public sectors, the growing availability of study abroad programs, and the current language
offerings at USD, it is appropriate to change the required minor in a modern foreign language for
INTS majors to a more flexible program.
Students would retain the options of a major or minor in a USD-offered MFL. Additionally, stu-
dents would have the options of either (A.) 18 credit hours in two languages, to include at least
14 credits in one MFL and at least four credits in a second; or (B.) 18 credits in a single MFL. A
minor or second major remains required for graduation with a BA.
The new policy would allow students to study a non-USD MFL and still meet the requirements
of the program. In consultation with program alumni and current INTS majors, including the In-
ternational Studies Program Advisory Council, there is a consensus that introducing students to
two languages, or studying abroad and learning other languages not offered at USD, will be of
greater benefit to students than the current requirement.
