The Faculty of Business Administration wants to develop a "MOT Prep"
(Management of Technology Preparation) program that can be taken by
Applied Sciences students (principally ENSC and CMPT, but possibly
also CMNS and KIN) while they do their degree.   The intent is to
put students into position to do a one-year MOT program after completing
the Bachelor's.

Below is a DRAFT program description.  I have suggested that they
might consider accepting courses like CMNS 353, CMPT 320, or ENSC 406 
as an alternative to the BUS 303 course.  They may also consider
possible courses that could be used in place of BUS 272, provided
that they serve a similar purpose.

I invite all members of the FAS Undergraduate Forum to forward their
comments through their UCC chairs or to me directly.  I'm sure that
Maureen Fizzell would also welcome direct comments of a constructive
nature.

these courses will be considered equivalent to the business
