USM Board of Regents Committee on Education Policy and Student Life Meets September 22
Adelphi, Md. (Sept. 17, 2015) -- The University System Board of Regents Committee on Education Policy and
Student Life at its next meeting will vote on a proposed academic program at
the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP) and the creation of an honors
college at Salisbury University.
The meeting will be held at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, September 22 in
Ballroom A (4th Floor) of the West Village Commons at Towson University.
The new academic program at UMCP is a B.S. in information science.
At Salisbury University, the proposed Honors College would house three existing
honors programs--liberal arts, science & pre-professional studies, and
business--that would meet the more diverse needs of the students enrolled in the
existing honors program.
The committee will hear several information items, including a
report on the USM E&E 2.0 Initiative and how USM institutions can improve
analysis of data from academic student service sources to drive student success
initiatives. The full agenda and supporting materials can be accessed .
Maps and driving directions can be found .
