2. MBA 525 Cyber Law:  A. Wolfe presented the rationale for the course.  It has previously been offered as an undergraduate course.  However there is a growing need for the same or similar course at the graduate level.  It will be offered primarily during summers for both undergraduate and graduate students.  J. Smith moved the approval of MBA 525; K. Bisbee seconded.  The motion was approved unanimously.
3. Graduate Dean Report:  Dr. King updated the Council on the following items:
   • Cynthia Clabough’s Graphic Design class continues to work with program coordinators to develop individual program brochures. 
   •  A graduate assistant is working in the Dean’s office to update the Graduate Website.
   • There is growing interest in a Professional Science Masters degree.  These degrees are interdisciplinary in nature and will be designed to lead to opportunities that are open or predicted to be open in the Oswego service area.  Outside funding to support such program development is being sought through various agencies including the Sloan Foundation.
   • There are concerns about the offering or lack of, graduate content courses.  These courses are needed for the students in the Curriculum and Instruction program and are required by the State Education Department for Professional Certification.  D. King is meeting with 6 Department Chairs and the Dean of Arts and Sciences to discuss this issue.  D. King wanted to alert the Council that course outline may be coming for approval in a effort to solve this problem.
