Dear All,
Please help promote MAS 4013 in fall 2024.
The department has removed the prerequisite for MAS 4013 in fall and this class is a great
upper division elective for many majors.

Juan,
I always understood that we can only change pre req as a catalogue change. I think we
will have to do it manually. For sure, we will get rid of the pre req this year since it
is undergraduate catalogue year change.
Saying that, yes please find out if we can do it through CLSS.
Thanks for following up on this,

We’ve been trying to do this, so yes let’s get rid of the pre req!. We thought we had
removed the pre-req. last undergraduate year but didn’t. Will do this year. So yes, if we
can get a few more students that will be great.
Take care,

Hi Derek,
Yes, I think removing MAS 2013 as a prerequisite would be best. We approve request.

Subject: MAS 4013 inquiry
Professor Cervantes,
Good afternoon! I hear that MAS 4013 may be considered for cancelation due to low
enrollment (currently four students). Before final decision is made, I request
consideration of removing MAS 2013 as a prerequisite for this semester only. I’ve had some
MAS admits this semester that I wanted to recommend take it but they don’t have MAS 2013
completed or will be doing it this semester. Since this is the first time it has been
offered in some time, maybe removing that prerequisite can increase enrollment. If that
doesn’t work, then department would have to make the decision.
This is just a thought. Let me know what you think about it after conferring with rest
of faculty.
Sincerely,
Derek
