2003-2004 Catalog of StudiesJ. William Fulbright College of Arts and SciencesPURPOSE AND OBJECTIVESNo one in 20th century America has done more to advance the study of international relations or promote human understanding than J. William Fulbright. Committed to the idea that a free society and a peaceful world require, above all, an educated citizenry, he urged with unflagging energy the use of historical perspective, cultural relativity, and scientific objectivity in the study of human affairs. Senator Fulbright, like Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, and Abraham Lincoln before him, was committed to the belief that an educated, enlightened electorate will unerringly act not only in its own self-interest but also in the interest of all the people of the world. In recognition of J. William Fulbright's contribution to the cause of liberal education and of his many services to his native state, the Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas on November 20, 1981, resolved . . .
The college, dedicated to implementing the Fulbright philosophy that liberal education is a prerequisite for enlightened citizenship in a democratic society, has adopted as its mission the following statement from Fulbright's writings:
Consisting of 19 departments and 22 special programs and research centers, Fulbright College has a twofold mission: to provide a broad, liberal education to all students within the University community and to furnish specialized knowledge at the upper division and graduate levels leading to a professional career. The general education curriculum within the college is designed to assure student's mastery of the English language, provide knowledge of the historical, social, intellectual, and linguistic bases of human culture, provide habits of thought and investigation useful in later life, encourage exploration and development of aesthetic, political and ethical values, and offer the necessary foundation for professional competence or further training in professional or graduate schools. The general education curriculum of the college is based on the Platonic assumption that the pursuit of knowledge is an intrinsically good activity and that it is incumbent upon all members of an enlightened society to engage in that pursuit. Recognizing that its students must become productive members of contemporary American society, Fulbright College offers undergraduate majors in 43 different fields ranging from chemistry and art, to journalism and German. In addition, the college, in cooperation with the Graduate School, offers course work leading to master's degrees in 31 fields and doctoral degrees in 13 fields. As a natural corollary of their instructional role, the faculty of the college pursue active research programs in their fields and programs that enable them simultaneously to provide state-of-the-art education to their students and bring national and international recognition to the University. In sum, Fulbright College lies at the very heart of the University. The seat of liberal learning within the institution and the state, it is committed to providing excellent general education to all members of the student body and specialized instruction of the highest quality to its own majors. DEGREES OFFEREDThe J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences offers four-year curricula leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), Bachelor of Science (B.S.), Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.), and Bachelor of Music (B.M.). Each candidate for the B.A. and B.S. degrees selects a major field for specialized study. In addition to usual departmental majors there are interdepartmental majors and special programs for students preparing for professional degrees in law, medicine, dentistry, and teaching.
COLLEGE ADMISSION REQUIREMENTSStudents seeking admission to the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences must meet the general requirements for admission to the University. In addition, students are expected to present two units (years) of a single modern foreign or classical language. Those unable to meet this standard will be expected to begin their collegiate foreign language study as soon as possible after matriculation. For these students, the first semester of language study will be considered to satisfy the admission deficiency and will not count toward the 124 hours required for graduation (although the course will appear as University credit, and the grade received will be computed in the grade-point average). For the students who meet the Fulbright Arts and Sciences admission requirements and continue with the same foreign language taken in high school, the first semester of language study will be considered remedial and will not count toward the 124 hours required for graduation (although the course will appear as University credit and the grade received will be computed in the grade-point average). Students transferring from other colleges at the University of Arkansas or from other institutions are expected to meet the same entrance standard. COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPSForemost among scholarships available in the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences is the Sturgis Fellowship. This scholarship enables Fulbright College to offer to outstanding graduates of secondary and preparatory schools undergraduate fellowships valued at $50,000 for four collegiate years. Continuing students may also compete for the J. William Fulbright Prize for Distinction in the Liberal Arts. This scholarship carries a $1000 award. Students studying in the humanities or classics may qualify for the Elizabeth W. Fulbright Scholarship. This award is for students who are at least juniors and is intended to support a year of study abroad. The Robbin C. Anderson Scholarship is available to students who place in the top 10% of their class and who transfer to Fulbright College from an Arkansas community or junior college. Freshman students who show outstanding promise may receive awards from the James Victor Spencer, Jr. Memorial Scholarship, and students with similar promise or records are eligible for the Marion A. Steele Memorial Scholarship. In addition, students may compete for general scholarship monies, which are awarded, regardless of classification, to students with the highest grade-point averages. Application for these monies is made through the Dean's Office, room 525 Old Main. Students may also obtain information and an on-line application on the Web through Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences Scholarships and Fellowships at http://www.uark.edu/~arsc/students/scholarships.html. Numerous other scholarships are available from the departments of Fulbright College. Information may be sought from the departmental chairperson of the student's major and/or the Fulbright College's Scholarships and Fellowships website listed above. HONORARY & DEPARTMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSThere are many general-interest societies and organizations to which students may belong, and nearly every department of the University maintains an honor society through which high scholarship is rewarded. Students in Fulbright College may aspire to membership in the following organizations:
COLLEGE ACADEMIC REGULATIONSAcademic Advising Services The Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences provides an adviser for each student enrolled in the College. The faculty of each department within Fulbright College assumes responsibility for advising those students who have declared majors in the department and those who have declared current interest in the department as a possible major area. Other advisory services exist to provide aid and direction to students who are non-degree candidates as well as those who are beginning work in the College without having yet decided on a major and those who are planning to attend professional schools such as those for medicine or pharmacy. Advisers in the Fulbright Advising Center will assist students in program planning and will help them to become aware of and familiar with the academic offerings of the University. Students should consult their advisers on a regular basis, not limited to registration matters but including all areas of their academic careers. Personnel in the Dean's office will direct students to the appropriate advising office. Students should discuss with their advisers opportunities for individual variations as well as regular course requirements, etc. Programs and facilities of particular interest to individuals may include the Honors Program, programs for Advanced Placement and Credit by Examination, and the services of the Student Development Center. The Career Development Center administers and interprets tests indicative of individual ability, interest, and achievement, and thus may aid also in counseling students about the field of study in which they are most likely to be effective and successful.
Honors Studies and Graduation with Honors To create an intellectual environment that challenges the best of students, the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences provides a comprehensive program of Honors Studies. This includes the Fulbright College Scholars Program, a four-year interdisciplinary honors program for students of superior academic ability or artistic talent, and the Departmental Honors Program, an honors program emphasizing directed independent study within a department or discipline of the College. A student who has successfully completed a program of Honors Studies within Fulbright College is eligible to receive a baccalaureate degree with the distinction Fulbright College Scholar Cum Laude, or Departmental Scholar Cum Laude in the major field of study. Higher distinctions of Magna Cum Laude or Summa Cum Laude may be awarded to outstanding honors students by recommendation of the Fulbright College Honors Council. To earn the distinction Fulbright College Scholar Cum Laude at graduation, a student must successfully complete the honors core curriculum, maintain a minimum grade-point average of 3.25, and satisfy requirements for departmental honors in the major field of study, including preparation and oral defense of an honors thesis. The Honors Council may award the higher distinctions of Magna Cum Laude or Summa Cum Laude based upon a student's total academic performance, including the academic transcript, the quality of the scholarly activity pursued within the major field of study, and the breadth of college study as a whole. To earn the distinction of Departmental Scholar Cum Laude at graduation,
a student must successfully complete requirements prescribed by the department
of major, including an honors thesis and oral examination, maintain a
minimum grade-point average of 3.25, and take 12 hours (which may include
six hours of thesis) in Honors Studies. If a student demonstrates superior
academic performance or an exceptionally high level of scholarly activity,
the Honors Council may award the distinction of Magna Cum Laude.
A student who has earned at least 50 percent of his or her college credits at the University of Arkansas and has maintained a grade-point average of at least 3.80 through the semester preceding graduation shall earn the distinction of "Fulbright College Senior Scholar." For more information about Honors Studies within Fulbright College, see page 109 and individual department listings. COLLEGE DEGREE REQUIREMENTSCourses of study in Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences are designed to give students the comprehensive view of society that the modern world requires. Students who enroll in Fulbright College, or who elect some of its courses, have an opportunity to gain a broad cultural education, which is a part of intelligent living and, at the same time, to prepare for professions or to acquire technical training in the sciences. The college has two major teaching functions: to provide basic general education in the arts and in the sciences necessary to all persons for effective participation in the complex world in which we live, second, to furnish the student an opportunity to specialize in the field of the student's choice. To implement the first of these aims and to furnish a broad base for the accomplishment of the second, the faculty of Fulbright College has adopted the requirements listed below for each degree. Specific course requirements may be fulfilled in one of four ways:
In addition to the University requirements listed above, each candidate for a degree in Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences must complete the degree program with a cumulative grade-point average of at least 2.00. The Fulbright College residence requirement insists that no fewer than 30 hours of credit must be earned in courses offered by this college, and at least 24 of those hours must be numbered above 3000. Each degree candidate in Fulbright College will receive an automated degree audit each semester of enrollment in advance of priority registration. It is e-mailed to the student, and a hard copy is sent to the student's adviser or major department. It is recommended that the student meet with his or her adviser to review the degree audit. Each student graduating from Fulbright College must write a research/analytical paper for at least one upper-division course in his or her major. Satisfactory completion of an honors project or a senior thesis may fulfill this requirement. Students should consult with their major adviser for departmental procedures in satisfying this requirement. A student may choose to write a senior thesis in a major area of study. The thesis may be accorded up to six hours of credit. Defense of the thesis before a committee is required. This thesis may be submitted to meet the college writing requirement mentioned above. Questions concerning fulfilling the requirements should be referred to the student's adviser or to the dean's office, which will maintain current lists of approved courses, experimental offerings approved to fulfill requirements for a specified period of time, examination schedules, and other options available to the student. In addition to completing one of the sets of degree requirements listed below, a student must also complete the University Requirements for Graduation, including the University Core requirements (page 44).

Fulbright College also recognizes all official minors offered by sister colleges at the University of Arkansas. Students wishing to have such minors made a part of their transcript must notify the Fulbright College dean's office (MAIN 525) when degree application is made.
Teacher Education Programs Acceptance in a teacher education program is governed by regulations approved by the University Teacher Education Board for Initial Licensure and administered by the College of Education and Health Professions and the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences. For students intending to obtain teacher licensure, except in Music and Art, Fulbright College offers a minor in pre-education (ASED), which when taken in conjunction with a standard major will qualify students for admission to the Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) degree and licensure program. See the ASED section on page 119 and the Admission Process for Initial Teacher Licensure Stages I-IV as detailed in the College of Education and Health Professions section on page 170 for details concerning these regulations. Students should declare their intentions to prepare for teaching no later than the first semester of the sophomore year. For more information, please contact the Coordinator of Teacher Education in the College of Education and Health Professions, Peabody Hall, Room 8 and the Fulbright Advising Center in room 101 of Old Main.
Combined Academic and Medical or Dental Degree Fulbright College offers both the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees in medical science or medical science (dentistry). A student may substitute the first year of regular medical or dental work taken in any standard, approved medical or dental school for 30 hours of the total required for the Bachelor of Arts degree or for 33 hours of the total required for the Bachelor of Science degree provided that the following requirements are met: 1. Completion of all core requirements for a B.A. or B.S. degree, as appropriate, prior to student's entrance in medical or dental school. 2. Completion of a minimum of 12 hours of courses numbered above 3000 taken in Fulbright College. 3. Completion of at least 30 hours immediately prior to student's entrance in medical or dental school in residence in Fulbright College. Students interested in this degree should consult with their adviser or with the Fulbright College dean's Office early in their program. Formal application for the degree should be made to the Registrar. This program is for highly qualified students with outstanding academic records who may be eligible for early admission to medical school or dental school programs. The year of a medical or dental study substitutes for the major in the B.A. or the B.S. degree program.
Cooperative Education The Cooperative Education project is designed to offer students an opportunity to participate in a paid work experience directly related to their academic major. It resembles an internship, but contemplates a series of at least two such work experiences. The program also insists that at least minimal academic credit be awarded, thus ensuring that the work experience will be directly related to the student's academic program. Cooperative Education offers advantages to students needing assistance in financing their education, and it offers the College a tangible way to demonstrate our conviction that although we do not stress vocational or professional training per se, there is nothing inimical between a liberal arts education and the world of work. Prerequisites include 45 credit hours, a cumulative GPA of 2.50, and consent of academic coordinator. A maximum of 4 credit hours of ARSC 310 (Cooperative Education) may be applied toward the student's degree. Detailed information about Cooperative Education may be obtained from the Office of the Dean, Fulbright College, or from the Career Development Center, 607 Arkansas Union. UNDERGRADUATE PREPARATION FOR PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMSThe Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences offers courses that are required for the study of law, medicine, dentistry, teaching, nursing, pharmacy, social work, and other professions. It provides supporting programs in the humanities, fine arts, the social sciences, and the natural sciences for students who are enrolled for professional programs in other undergraduate colleges on the campus, and for those students who may plan to enter postgraduate professional programs in other colleges. In some instances it may be possible for the student to plan the use of undergraduate electives so that the time required for completion of a postgraduate professional program may be shortened by as much as one full year. The program for which this may be done is the Master of Social Work. For information and advice concerning this program see the Chairman of Studies in Social Work, or contact the Director of the Graduate School of Social Work, University of Arkansas at Little Rock, 33rd and University, Little Rock, Arkansas 72204. In other pre-professional programs, the distribution of credits applied toward a degree in Fulbright College may require the consignment of a considerable portion of the available electives to prerequisite courses, and to courses that are in direct support of the undergraduate major area. Interested students should contact the appropriate advisers early in the planning of such programs.
Pre-Law Program While there is no prescribed pre-law curriculum, Fulbright College offers a minor in legal studies administered through the department of political science. Students considering a career in law may consult the UA School of Law Catalog or the Fulbright College Advising Center for information concerning certain categories of courses that may be helpful to the study and practice of law. Students uncertain about a major degree program should contact the Fulbright Advising Center. A baccalaureate degree is required for admission to the UA School of Law, except for those students in the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences who are admitted to the special six-year program referred to in the paragraph immediately following. All applicants for admission are required to take the Law School Admission Test. (See page 213.) The University of Arkansas School of Law at Fayetteville and the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences jointly administer a six-year program whereby highly qualified students may earn both the bachelor's degree and the Juris Doctor degree. Any student enrolled in the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences during a spring semester shall be permitted to matriculate in the School of Law in the following fall semester if the admission complies with Section 1 of Part A of the law school's admission policies and if the student meets the following conditions: 1. At least 30 consecutive hours of course work in Fulbright College, 2. At least 94 hours credited toward a bachelor's degree by Fulbright College, 3. Completion of Fulbright College's requirements for a major in connection with the bachelor's degree, 4. A cumulative grade-point average in all college or university course work of at least 3.50, without grade renewal, 5. An LSAT score of at least 159.

General: Each of the above areas involves the completion of a minimum number of semester hours and certain required courses. Many of the specific course requirements are common to all programs, and it is in the student's best interest to complete these requirements as early as possible. Careful scheduling is essential to ensure that courses are taken in proper sequence. Pre-Chiropractic Program: Students entering the pre-chiropractic program should determine the specific admission requirements for the school(s) of their choice at an early date. Most chiropractic colleges require a minimum of 90 hours of college credit to include the following: 6 hours of English, 12 hours chemistry (with a minimum of 3 hours inorganic chemistry and at least 6 hours organic chemistry and/or biochemistry), 8 hours of biology or zoology, 3 hours of psychology, 15 hours of social science or humanities, and 8 hours of physics. All students planning careers in chiropractic should contact the Fulbright College Advising Center, 101 Old Main (575-3307). Pre-Dental Program: All dental schools require a minimum of three years of college work and most schools give preference to applicants who have completed a baccalaureate degree. The minimum requirements for admission to most dental schools can be met at the University of Arkansas by completing the following courses: ENGL 1013, ENGL 1023, BIOL 1543/1541L plus 4 additional hours of biology, PHYS 2013/2011L, PHYS 2033/2031L, and CHEM 1103/1101L, CHEM 1123/1121L, CHEM 3603/3601L, CHEM 3613/3611L. Mathematics is not a general requirement, but students are expected to have a background equivalent to college algebra and trigonometry. Students who complete a minimum of 90 hours of work may qualify for the combined degree program provided that they complete the requirements for graduation in Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences. All dental schools require the Dental Admissions Test. It is suggested that applicants take the DAT one year prior to the time they plan to enter dental school. A student planning a career in dentistry should contact Dr. J.C. Rose, Department of Anthropology (575-2508). Pre-Medical Program: Medical schools in general require a minimum of 90 semester hours of college credit exclusive of military science and physical education, and most recommend that the student complete a baccalaureate degree. All medical schools have specific course requirements, and the student should determine those requirements for the school or schools of his or her choice. The minimum requirements for most medical schools can be met by completion of the following courses: ENGL 1013, ENGL 1023, ENGL 2003 or substitute, BIOL 1543/1541L, plus one other course in biological sciences, or equivalent, CHEM 1103/1101L, CHEM 1123/1121L, CHEM 3603/ 3601L, CHEM 3613/3611L, PHYS 2013/ 2011L, PHYS 2033/2031L. Additional courses are recommended. Special opportunities and experiences are available to pre-medical students through the Liebolt Endowment. Pre-medical students are encouraged to complete the requirements for the B.A. or B.S. degree. As part of these requirements the student must choose a major, but the choice of a major has no direct bearing upon admission to medical school and should reflect the particular interests of the student. If a student is admitted to a medical school prior to completion of the baccalaureate degree requirements, he/she may wish to take advantage of the combined degree program in medical science. If that program is elected, the student should complete all of the basic university and college requirements for graduation during residence on the UA campus. Most medical schools require the Medical College Admissions Test, which is given in the spring and fall at the University. The MCAT normally should be taken in the spring preceding application to medical school. Admission to medical school is highly competitive, and a good grade-point average is demanded. A grade-point average of 3.30 is the minimum likely to receive favorable consideration. A grade of "D" in any course required by the medical school is not considered satisfactory. Advising is available through Dr. Neil Allison (575-5179) and Dr. Jeanne McLachlin (575-5348). Dr. Allison serves as chair of the pre-medical committee.

As a subject for academic study, communication bridges the humanities and the social sciences. It focuses on relationships personal, group and societal and the factors and processes that affect important relationships. Friendships and families, business relationships and political systems, cultural interaction and technological advances are important areas of study in communication. Communication students may concern themselves with the dynamics of interpersonal persuasion, the effects of media technologies, the nature of gender stereotypes, the function of roles within the family, the structure of organizational authority, the influence of cultural myths, the impact of social movements, and the history of rhetoric. Because the program offers many diverse interests, there is a place for anyone with a genuine curiosity about human communication and its effect upon society. Communication majors from recent graduating classes now hold responsible positions in government and public affairs, in management, marketing, and public relations within private business, and in television and mass media organizations. Many others are successfully pursuing further education in graduate and professional schools. The department of communication offers general studies of the discipline, as well as concentration in three specific emphasis areas: 1. rhetoric and public communication, 2. interpersonal, small group, and organizational communication, and 3. mass communication Students may also select a program for acquisition of teaching certification in the field. Admission Requirements for a Major in Communication: For standing as a major, entering freshmen must have ACT composite scores of 20 or higher, and those transferring into the program after the first semester of college study must have a cumulative grade-point average of 2.00 or higher. University and College Requirements for a Major in Communication: 36 semester hours in communication courses, to include COMM 2333, COMM 3343, COMM 3443, COMM 3673, at least 12 additional hours chosen from COMM courses above 3000. Communication courses used to satisfy the College or University Core requirements will not count toward the major. To graduate, students must have a cumulative grade-point average of 2.00 or above within the major. Writing Requirement: The college writing requirement may be satisfied by a research paper submitted for an upper-division communication class and approved by the chairman of the department. Requirements for Departmental Honors in Communication: The Honors Program in communication gives an opportunity for a student to achieve an additional level of intellectual growth and a satisfaction of accomplishment. A student engages in independent research and writing, under the supervision of a member of the communication faculty, and participates in special honors classes, seminars, and colloquia. Faculty recognize outstanding achievement by a student by recommending that the bachelor's degree in communication be awarded with the distinction "Communication Scholar Cum Laude." Higher distinctions may be awarded to truly outstanding students based upon the whole of their academic program and quality of honors research. To enter the Honors Program, a student must possess a 3.25 minimum grade-point average on all academic work and receive the recommendation of a faculty member in communication to the Honors Council of Fulbright College. A student may pursue an independent research program of a historical, critical, descriptive, or experimental nature, within any of the areas of rhetorical or communication theory, history of public address, interpersonal, small-group, or organizational communication, persuasion, argumentation, political communication, freedom of speech, communication education, or in any closely related areas of inquiry. A student interested in mass communications, broadcasting, or film may choose to pursue either a research project or a creative study. In addition to satisfying the general college and departmental requirements for a bachelor's degree, a student must satisfy departmental honors requirements, which include the following: 1. become an honors candidate no later than the first semester of the junior year of study, 2. enroll in COMM 399VH, Honors Course, a minimum of one hour of credit each semester during the junior-senior years, 3. achieve a 3.25 minimum grade-point average in communication, 4. take 12 hours, which may include 6 hours of thesis in Honors Studies, and 5. write and defend before a faculty examining committee a thesis based on the investigative or creative project undertaken in COMM 399VH.

GENDER STUDIES (GNST)Susan Marren Chair of Studies 333 Kimpel Hall 575-4301 Web Site: http://cavern.uark.edu/depts/h2p/index.html
The Gender Studies minor introduces students to various ways that questions about women's and men's differing participation in work, the family, political systems, and creative endeavors have been asked and answered by different academic disciplines. This is an interdisciplinary minor. Courses in the humanities and the social sciences explore sex roles, sex differences, and the concepts of masculinity and femininity, the roles of women in culture and society, past and present, and their implications for the roles of men, questions about the distribution of power, work, and resources in the public and private sectors, and the symbolic representation of gender and identity in literature, religion, and art. The minor is often chosen by students interested in investigating materials previously neglected by scholars and in fresh perspectives on traditional subject matter. Some expertise in Gender Studies has proven to be an asset to both female and male students who have gone on to a graduate school and to work in such fields as government and business, social services and health agencies, the law, art and politics. Program Requirements: The student must complete 15 credit hours of regular courses listed below or special topics and seminars found in each semester's Schedule of Classes under Gender Studies, including Introduction to Gender Studies (HUMN 2003): ANTH 3163, Male and Female ANTH 3523, Gender and Politics in Latin America CLST 4003H, Rome on Film COMM 3433, Family Communication COMM 3983, Rhetoric of American Women COMM 4333, Communication and Gender ENGL 3913, Women and Modern Literature ENGL 398, African American Women's Fiction HIST 3083, Women and Christianity HIST 3923H, Honors Colloquium, The History of Sexuality in the United States HIST 3923H, Honors Colloquium, Russian and Soviet Women HIST 4133, Society and Gender in Modern Europe HIST 4413, Women and Family in the Middle East Since 1800 HUMN 2003, Introduction to Gender Studies HUMN 3923H, Honors Introduction to Gender Studies HUMN 4243, Women in Music and Art LAST 4003, Latina Writers PLSC 4573, Gender and Politics SOCI 4133, The Family SOCI 4203, Gender and Society WLIT 3983, Women and Arabic Literature

Graduation With Honors A student who has successfully completed a program of Honors Studies within Fulbright College is eligible to receive a baccalaureate degree with the distinction: Fulbright College Scholar Cum Laude, or Departmental Scholar Cum Laude in the major field of study. Higher distinctions of Magna Cum Laude or Summa Cum Laude may be awarded to outstanding honors students by recommendation of the Fulbright College Honors Council. To earn the distinction Fulbright College Scholar Cum Laude at graduation, a student must successfully complete the honors core curriculum, maintain a minimum grade-point average of 3.25, and satisfy requirements for departmental honors in the major field of study, including preparation and oral defense of an honors thesis. The Honors Council may award the higher distinctions of Magna Cum Laude or Summa Cum Laude based upon a student's total academic performance, including the academic transcript, the quality of the scholarly activity pursued within the major field of study, and the breadth of college study. To earn the distinction of Departmental Scholar Cum Laude at graduation, a student must successfully complete requirements prescribed by the major department, including an honors thesis and oral examination, and maintain a minimum grade-point average of 3.25. If a student demonstrates superior academic performance or an exceptionally high level of scholarly activity, the Honors Council may award the distinction of Magna Cum Laude. In those exceptional instances where truly outstanding work within the major field is coupled with a superior understanding of its relationship to the liberal arts, the distinction Summa Cum Laude may be awarded.

Requirements for Departmental Honors in Music: The Departmental Honors Program in Music provides upper-division undergraduate students an opportunity to participate formally in scholarly, creative, or performance music activities. Honors candidates carry out independent study, research and performance under the guidance of the music faculty and participate in special honors classes and seminars. They must take 12 hours (which may include 6 hours of thesis) in Honors Studies. For each student there is a committee consisting of at least the honors adviser, the major teacher in the area of the honors project, a member from a department outside the music department (chosen by the student), and a member of the Honors Council. This committee is responsible for hearing and seeing the work of the student in the area of the honors project and will administer the oral examination to the candidate at the end of the last semester of the student's work. The committee then recommends to the Honors Council whether or not the student receives honors in music. Outstanding student achievement will be recognized by awarding the distinction "Music Scholar Cum Laude" at graduation. The award of higher degree distinctions is recommended only in truly exceptional cases and is based upon the whole of the candidate's program of honors studies. The student may elect to do the honors project in one of five areas: performance, music history and literature, theory, composition, or music education. Honors work may be done in an area other than the student's major area that is, a student majoring in voice performance may elect to do honors work in music history, theory, or composition, etc. If a student wishes to devise his or her own honors project in consultation with a supervising professor and with the permission of the department chair, he or she may be granted honors. If a student wishes to combine work in more than one field and if the committee approves, he or she may be granted honors in more than one area, although the designation on the diploma will read "in music". The requirements for work in each area are as follows: I. Performance a. 2 semesters of MUAP 310VH, with concurrent registration in MUAP 3201H and MUAP 4201H b.

A grade of 'C' or better must be earned in all core social work courses. If a student receives a grade of 'D' in a core social work course, the course must be retaken with a grade of 'C' or better prior to taking the course for which that course serves as a prerequisite.) The following social science and general education courses are also required as part of the social work curriculum: American National Government (PLSC 2003) General Sociology (SOCI 2013) Principles of Biology (BIOL 1543/1541L) Fundamentals of Communication (COMM 1313) General Psychology (PSYC 2003) Statistics course, 3 hours Economics (ECON 2143) In addition, six hours of upper-level (3000-4000) social science electives, to be selected from SOCI, PSYC, ANTH, GNST, PLSC, COMM, GEOS, ASST, or HESC complete the degree requirements. Writing Requirement: Social work students complete the research/analytical writing requirement by submitting the research paper from SCWK 3073 or honors paper to the social work faculty for approval. Requirements for Departmental Honors in Social Work: The Departmental Honors Program in Social Work is an upper-division course of study with an independent investigation on a topic in social work. Students work closely with an adviser of their choice to define the goals of an honors project and to develop it to completion. They must take 12 hours (which may include 6 hours of thesis) in Honors Studies. In developing the project, students are encouraged to take honors courses, participate in honors colloquia and do extensive background reading. Some may choose a library research project, others may choose a field project. In either case the honors work is a serious long-term undertaking that should have direct value in supplementing the student's regular departmental academic program. Enrollment in SCWK 399VH takes place after the student has done background reading and has actually begun a project. Students normally enroll for course work the equivalent of three hours of credit. Whether the completed project is library research or one in field practice, it is presented in written form and defended at an oral examination by an Honors Council Committee. Projects of extraordinarily high quality may be designated High Honors by the Committee. Successful completion of the requirements will be recognized by the award of the distinction "Social Work Scholar Cum Laude" at graduation. Higher degree distinctions are recommended only in truly exceptional cases and are based upon the whole of the candidate's program of honors studies. Requirements for a Minor in Social Work: 18 hours including SCWK 2133, SCWK 3193 and SCWK 3153 (required) and any other nine hours of social work electives.
