Majors and Minors

Major requirements. The Bachelor of Arts, Plan I, requires the completion of all requirements for one major. Requirements for majors offered by the College of Liberal Arts are given in this section; those for majors offered by the College of Natural Sciences are given in chapter 11.

The major subject is not shown on the diploma. It is not possible for a student to receive a second Bachelor of Arts degree from the University.

Advising of majors. A student who has chosen a major is advised during registration periods in the department of the major. Students who have not chosen a major are advised through the program for undeclared majors in the Student Division, College of Liberal Arts, Dorothy Gebauer Building 2.200. For matters concerning degree requirements, specific academic problems, petitions, and academic advice in general, the student should go to the Student Division.

Hour requirements for the major. Unless the requirements of the major state otherwise, a major consists of at least twenty-one but no more than forty-two semester hours, with at least twelve hours in upper-division courses. Of these twelve hours, six must be taken in residence. These restrictions exist in the context of the general residence requirement for the major of eighteen semester hours.

Unless otherwise indicated, a course taken to meet the requirements under "Prescribed Work" may also be counted toward fulfillment of the major requirements.

A student who earns credit by examination with a grade of C or better will be given the appropriate grade and degree credit, including hours required in the major.

Minors. Students in most majors must also fulfill the requirements of a minor. The minor consists of a specific number of semester hours of coursework completed outside the student's major field. The requirements of the minor are established by the major department and are given with the major requirements beginning below. Additional restrictions may be imposed by the academic department(s) in which the student takes the courses used to fulfill the requirements of the minor; before planning to use a course to fulfill the minor requirement, the student should consult the department or program that offers the course.

The same courses may not be used to fulfill the requirements for both a major and a minor. Courses used to fulfill the requirements for a minor must be taken on the letter-grade basis, and six of the required semester hours must be taken in residence.

Unless otherwise indicated, a course taken to meet the requirements under "Prescribed Work" may also be counted toward fulfillment of the minor requirements.

Texas Interdisciplinary Plan (Texas IP) Curriculum

The Texas Interdisciplinary Plan (Texas IP) curriculum allows students to pursue an integrated course of study with a focus on the development and application of critical thinking skills. The eighteen-semester-hour program of study is designed to complement the student's major with an interdisciplinary sequence of courses that may encompass the humanities, the social sciences, the natural sciences, and the arts. Students have the opportunity to present an original work in a capstone seminar. Those who plan to pursue the Texas IP curriculum should apply to the program adviser for admission no later than the end of their sophomore year. For more information, see http://www.utexas.edu/tip/TexasIP/.

Students who complete the requirements for the Texas IP curriculum receive a certificate. The requirements are

1. Critical Thinking Seminar: Liberal Arts 302, Philosophy 311, Natural Sciences 302, or Natural Sciences 311. Selected courses may be substituted on a petition basis.
2. Critical Writing Seminar: Rhetoric and Writing 309K or 309S. Selected courses in the Division of Rhetoric and Writing may be substituted on a petition basis.
3. Three additional courses, including at least three semester hours of upper-division coursework, from an interdisciplinary strand prescribed by the Texas Interdisciplinary Plan; or, with approval of the Texas IP Faculty Advisory Panel, a three-course interdisciplinary strand designed by the student.
4. Senior Capstone Seminar: Liberal Arts 371 or Natural Sciences 371.

In the College of Liberal Arts, the Texas IP curriculum may be used to fulfill the minor requirements in the Bachelor of Arts, Plan I, if all eighteen semester hours are completed. Latin American studies majors and Spanish majors pursuing the Hispanic linguistics concentration are excluded from using the Texas IP curriculum for the minor. Final approval of the Texas IP minor coursework rests with the College of Liberal Arts associate dean for academic and student affairs or the associate dean's authorized representative.

In the College of Natural Sciences, the Texas IP curriculum may be used to complement any major. Some courses that are required by the Texas IP curriculum will also fulfill degree requirements established by the student's major department and described in chapter 11; however, some of the eighteen hours in the curriculum may be in addition to the number of hours required for the degree.

4. History 346K or another upper-division history course on colonial Latin America (before 1810).
5. History 346L or another upper-division history course on either modern Latin America (since 1810) or an individual Latin American nation since independence.

A list of courses that will fulfill requirements 4 and 5 is available in the Latin American studies advising office. Spanish 322K or Portuguese 341 may be substituted for either History 346K or 346L, but not for both.

In addition, all Latin American studies majors must take twenty-one semester hours in a single discipline chosen from the following: anthropology, art history, business, economics, geography, government, history, sociology, Portuguese, or Spanish. A concentration in another area may be organized with the approval of the Undergraduate Program Committee of the Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies. The twenty-one hours must include at least twelve hours of Latin American content coursework and at least twelve hours of upper-division coursework.

Students must complete the equivalent of at least two years in Spanish or Portuguese. Credit used to fulfill this requirement may also be used to fulfill the foreign language requirement for the Bachelor of Arts, Plan I.

Linguistics

Major: Linguistics 306, 344K, 345, 372K, 372L, and six additional hours of upper-division coursework in linguistics. Students should consult the undergraduate adviser for information about counting other courses toward the major requirements.

Minor for linguistics majors: Twelve semester hours, including at least six hours of upper-division coursework, in any one other field of study in the University. Six of the required twelve hours must be taken in residence. If the minor is in a foreign language other than that used to fulfill the Area A foreign language requirement, the twelve hours may be lower-division but must include at least six hours beyond course 507 or the equivalent.
