Teaching Faculty To ensure parity in standards, rigs of the program, integrity of the UB degree, and to comply with U.S. accreditation requirements, me than 50% of the modules are taught by UB faculty and the remaining modules will be taught by qualified local faculty who must be approved by UB. Average teacher-student ratio = 1:16. Minimum Number of Credits Candidates f bachel s degrees must complete a minimum of 120 credits. One credit equals 12.5 contact hours of classroom study. Minimum Number of Students Required f Class Commencement F a class to commence, there must be minimum of 25 students. In the event that the class cannot commence due to low take up rate, the students will be infmed at least one month pri to class commencement. Minimum Academic Average To graduate from a UB undergraduate program, students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0, both overall and at UB. In the computation of the overall average, all attempted coursewk at UB will be used, including transfer credit. In computing a student s average f wk completed at another accredited institution, GPAs will be computed in accdance with UB s grading policies (e.g. all attempted hours, including F s, will be used to determine the GPA). Students cannot graduate with an incomplete I grade on their recd. Maj Requirement To qualify f an undergraduate degree, matriculated students must be enrolled in a degree program and satisfactily complete the requirements of their fields of study, as well as those of the university. This include all maj requirements and general education requirements. Academic Progress The nmal load f students is 12 to 15 credits per semester.

Thus, students must meet all requirements f each maj. In no circumstance may the coursewk in the second degree be fewer than 30 credits. F a double degree, a minimum of 150 credits 30 credits beyond the full requirements of the degree with the larger number of required undergraduate credits must be earned, whichever is greater. Because the two degrees must be in significantly different fields of study, no me than two 300- and 400- modules taken as requirements f one maj in one degree can also be counted as part of the required modules f the other maj in the other degree, including required elective credits. 04

7 Double Majs A double maj is the awarding of one degree with two majs (e.g. a student earns one BA degree with a double maj of communication and psychology).

Once a degree is conferred, the modules and credits from that degree cannot be used in subsequent degrees, and some students may not return to add a min concentration to the conferred degree. In der to take a subsequent degree, the student who has previously earned a baccalaureate degree from UB an accredited U.S. institution must be accepted to UB as a matriculated student and be accepted into the new maj.

Students are introduced to the histy of social thought and to the applied and theetical methods used to study these diverse topics. Training in sociology prepares students f a wide variety of professional careers and f active, enlightened participation in local, national, and wld affairs. Why Study Sociology? Sociology is a study of all people, f all people. In summary, sociology is the broadest of the social sciences and, unlike other disciplines, can give us an understanding of the social wld.

I chose the UB program because of the way the classes were taught. In an American education system, students are granted the flexibility to learn in their own way. Projects and assignments often have guidelines but with enough freedom f us to truly think and present our own interpretation. To me, true education does not consist of only providing facts and figures, but also to encourage independent thinking and personal development.
