Courses Applied to Liberal Arts Academic Year

Transcription

1 Courses Applied to the Liberal Arts Curriculum for the Academic Year (for students matriculating September 2002 and thereafter) Liberal Arts Program The liberal arts program includes five content areas consisting of one or more components defined in terms of specific goals and objectives. Because of the immediate usefulness of writing, oral communication and mathematics, students should endeavor to complete the Use of the English Language and Mathematics components during the first college year. Students must enroll in the appropriate writing skills courses every consecutive semester until they have met the writing skills requirement. Students must complete the Use of the English Language Writing requirement no later than the term in which eighty-seven (87) semester hours are completed. Students who fail to meet this requirement on schedule will be barred from Anderson University for at least one semester. The first year experience seminar (LART 1050) and the liberal arts seminar (LART 1100) must be taken within the first 24 semester hours at Anderson University. Students must continue to take LART 1050 and LART 1100 as offered until the requirement is met. In addition, students should endeavor to complete the Foreign Language component during the first college year. If necessary, however, the Foreign Language component may be completed after the first year, preferably no later than the second year. Courses applicable to the content areas are approved for one academic year, beginning with the fall semester. This list of courses is updated and published annually in a document called "Courses applied to the liberal arts curriculum for the academic year." Students may apply a course to a given content area if the course is taken in the year in which it is listed in the document for that academic year. A copy of this document appears in the catalog for the first academic year, and in the master schedule of classes each year. Although few changes to the list are expected from year to year, students should compare the "courses applied" document, published annually, with current lists of courses. The phrase upper-division course means a course numbered 3000 or above. These courses are designed primarily for upper-division students and may assume some prior introductory understandings. Lower-division courses may not be applied to upper-division requirements. For details on how Honors Program courses apply to the Liberal Arts Curriculum, see the Honors section in the current catalog The liberal arts program requirements are defined in terms of courses to be taken at Anderson University. If postsecondary courses taken before enrolling in Anderson University do not qualify under normal procedures, students who feel they have fulfilled liberal arts requirements may request that these courses be accepted. Students who, because of prior experience or background, find a particular requirement redundant or inappropriate, may also request an alternate way of satisfying that requirement. A request form may be obtained from the registrar s office. This process should not be viewed as a means of circumventing liberal arts program requirements nor as a means of generating college credit hours based on experiences or study occurring outside the college course framework. Following are the five content areas and courses approved for the Liberal Arts Program for the academic year. This list does not apply to the academic year. Courses approved for will be published on the Anderson University website once that list has been finalized. The most current list of approved courses is available online at arts.html, and may also be obtained in person in the registrar s office. Liberal Arts Academic Year Page 1 of 8
