CHANGES IN REQUIREMENTS FOR THE
BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE WITH A MAJOR IN HUMANITIES IN THE COLLEGE OF
LIBERAL ARTS CHAPTER OF THE UNDERGRADUATE CATALOG, 2000-2002
| On page 259, in the section DEGREES, make
the following changes: |
Humanities
Major: Forty-two semester hours [beyond the prescribed
work], including at least thirty hours of upper-division coursework,
arranged by contract in consultation with the humanities adviser.
[A majority of the forty-two hours are normally in the College of
Liberal Arts, but at least nine hours must be in other colleges or schools.
At least nine of the forty-two hours must be taken in a single department
or program of the College of Liberal Arts and at least nine of the forty-two
must be in one or more of the other departments of the college. The
forty-two hours must include at least thirty hours of upper-division
coursework, of which at least six hours must be in courses offered by
the humanities program. All humanities majors must take Humanities 370
or 679HB as three of these six hours.] None of these forty-two
hours may be counted toward the prescribed work for the Bachelor of
Arts degree.
Students normally enter the program in the sophomore or junior year.
In developing the contract, the student and the adviser define objectives,
central subject areas, and a general plan of study, structured in accordance
with the student's interests. With the approval of the humanities adviser,
the student chooses one of the following tracks.
| 1. |
Track One
| a. |
Nine hours in a single field of study
in the College of Liberal Arts. |
| b. |
Nine hours in one or more other fields
of study in the College of Liberal Arts. |
| c. |
Nine hours in any field or fields outside
the College of Liberal Arts. |
| d. |
Nine additional hours in any field or
fields at the University. |
| e. |
Six hours of upper-division coursework
in humanities, including Humanities 370. Students in the Humanities
Honors Program must use Humanities 679HA and 679HB to fulfill
this requirement. |
|
| 2. |
Track Two
| a. |
Twelve hours in a single field of study
in the College of Liberal Arts. |
| b. |
Nine hours in a second field of study
in the College of Liberal Arts. |
| c. |
Fifteen additional hours in any field
or fields at the University. |
| d. |
Six hours of upper-division coursework
in humanities, including Humanities 370. Students in the Humanities
Honors Program must use Humanities 679HA and 679HB to fulfill
this requirement. |
|
A student who wishes to major in humanities
develops, in conference with the humanities adviser, a degree plan that
serves as a contract for the student's personal program leading to the
Bachelor of Arts. The student and the adviser define the objectives,
general plan of study, and central subject areas of the degree program,
which should be structured in accordance with the student's distinctive
interests and should provide for adequate depth in each of the central
areas of study. After the program is approved by the humanities adviser,
it is sent to the dean for approval. Upon petition, the original program
can be modified in response to changes in the student's interests or
new opportunities in the University curriculum.
Students normally enter the program in the sophomore or junior year.
Rationale: The degree plan in humanities was originally developed
when college lines were not as rigid and prerequisites for classes outside
the college were not as numerous. As such, current humanities majors
have a difficult time fulfilling the outside the liberal arts section
of the contract. The alternate contract would allow the student to focus
more intently upon two departments in the college rather than just one.
In addition, the humanities majors can still take classes outside of
the college if they so desire.
