Summarize the need/purpose/reason for this proposal
This change best suits the meeting of student needs to complete transfers, develop basic skills and produce portfolios. This change will alleviate a longstanding problem by making the titles and course descriptions accurate with current curriculum. The change will help to accommodate high student interest and they will clearly benefit by having curriculum at introductory and advanced levels. Curriculum improvements would go towards improving student portfolios that are required for admission into private colleges. Please see my justification results for the CSU Illustration major using assist.org.
