Programs to offer draft policy - 28 May 2010

1. Two programs at M level only

   Reasons: - 1. legal requirements to register degrees with US State authorities usually come with a process per program and a fee per program. By using the 2 program, multiple concentration approach we expect to avoid time sucking and costly approval procedures. 2. see http://www.xmind.net/share/agile49/iesd-with-majors-minors-v-multitudes-of-programs-2/
