## Undergraduate Programs

* Prioritize some growth number of students in UG programs
* Global Comm and World Languages
	* Up to two additional courses integrating language coursework with comm studies
* Comm Studies
	* We need to consider whether research methods courses are succeeding in their goals (student readiness)
	* Possibly a critical thinking course prior to research methods (might be done in cooperation with Philosophy)
* Strategic and Corporate Comm
	* Is _corporate_ represented in the curriculum?
	* Are our current students attracted to _corporate_?
	* Critical thinking and language?
* Student wellfare and progress
* Apart from nuts and bolts, what is our message? How are we branding our school?
