On page 252, in the College of Liberal
Arts chapter of The Undergraduate Catalog, 1998-2000, in the section "BACHELOR OF ARTS, PLAN I," subsection "CONCENTRATIONS," delete
the Concentration in Religious Studies as follows:
[Religious Studies
This concentration provides an interdisciplinary
program in the academic study of religion. The program is designed to
complement the student's major by setting forth the relationship
between religion and other areas of study in the humanities, the social
sciences, literature, and the arts. The concentration
is open to liberal arts majors and, with the approval
of their deans, to students of other colleges and schools.
It requires the completion of eighteen semester hours of coursework, consisting
of six hours in religious studies and twelve hours of
related coursework in other areas.
The student must fulfill the following requirements.
Courses required for the concentration may also be used
to fulfill requirements of the student's major.
|
1.
|
A departmental major or the equivalent.
|
|
2.
|
Two of the following courses: Religious Studies
310, 311, 318.
|
|
3.
|
Twelve semester hours of coursework with
content related to religious studies. These twelve
semester hours must be chosen with the approval of
the religious studies adviser and must include the study of
more than one religious tradition and at least six
semester hours of upper-division coursework. Three
semester hours in a classical or foreign language may
be used in fulfilling this requirement, if the language is
relevant to the area of study. Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, Latin,
Sanskrit, and modern languages might be used.
Bible courses may not be counted toward the
concentration in religious studies.
|
With the approval of his or her major department,
a student may earn a minor in religious studies. Information
about the minor is available from the undergraduate adviser
in the student's major department.]
Rationale:
The concentration in religious studies will be replaced by a new bachelor
of arts degree in religious studies.
