<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman">I am actually reading
through some info our auditor sent for me to proof and I noticed something that
I have a question on. On the section regarding eligible
programs she says a program must contain 24 credit hours. I though it
was 16. I have read in the SFA handbook, Vol. 2 and I am now a little
confused. Can anyone clarify this for me?
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</FONT> <FONT face="Times New Roman"> This is
