I disagree that eliminating the foundation requirements represents a dumbing-down of the program. On the contrary, it means you sink or swim with the course content whether or not you take pre-requisites. That could actually make the program tougher for someone who needs the foundation material but doesn't take the course(s).
This is a professional degree program. Compare it to another professional program, law school. Law schools don't require pre-law degrees. In fact, they're frowned upon. Instead, the schools are looking for educated, intelligent people from varied backgrounds who can succeed in the field. Business schools can successfully do the same.
My spouse went to one of the top law schools in the country and was told at orientation: "Look to the left and look to the right of you. We expect each of those people to be with you at graduation because you all have what it takes to succeed in this program. We've already done our culling."
Have some confidence that LSUS is maintaining some reasonable standard of admission and that this change represents the elimination of mandatory remedial work for those who don't need it and instead makes it optional for those who do. I think it's a win/win.

What time is everybody taking the ISDS 705 final tomorrow? I'm set for 3:50 central.

I can tell you that there are several schools that do this 1 credit hour pass/fail class as pre-req. USFSP's MBA (AACSB) is 2nd ranked in the state of Florida and it has 8, not 4 pre-req classes that you are required to take in order to start taking MBA classes. UL of Lafayette's new MBA program has no pre-reqs, the GMAT is waiverable and it is also AACSB. This is becoming the trend. As someone said, "sink or swim". If you struggle, drop the class and take the one credit hour pre-req and comeback. I can see both sides of this issue though.
