Great stuff
Moral and Political Philosophy sounds a lot like something that would fill the ethics req and Principles of Human Communication sounds a lot like something that would meet the public speaking req. Will have to look into those things.

The software engineering course is a very useful addition for computer majors. After finding out that the COSC courses via edX like software engineering are no good unless it's for a degree at COSC, this is a welcome option. This is the best of the five new computer related offerings.
The strategic IT course may be useful if it is UL and doesn't duplicate something that already exists.
I'm guessing MIS, CS102, and computer networks will duplicate other offerings that exist elsewhere, although these are cheaper than the alternatives.

is there any hope for them to get their discrete math and data structures ones approved?

I'm guessing the philosophy course may fulfill the ethics requirement, but the Human Comm course will not do the public speaking requirement, because there are no speeches that you have to do for the course. That is the main requirement.
