The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is the nucleus of IUSB. Through studies with the faculties of the humanities, social and behavioral sciences, mathematics and natural sciences departments, students have the opportunity to broaden their awareness and knowledge of the major areas of human activity.

By selecting an area of study in one of the traditional disciplines, students acquire in-depth understanding of a single field of investigation. Through their academic experiences, students also sharpen critical thinking skills, develop an appreciation for the arts, learn to communicate more effectively, enhance their self-knowledge, and increase their tolerance for differences. Consequently, they graduate prepared for a lifetime of learning and are better able to cope with and enjoy the rapidly changing world in which we live.

The college offers programs of study that lead to certificates, the Associate of Arts, the Associate of Science, the Bachelor of Arts, the Bachelor of Science, or Master’s degrees. Minors are available in a large number of disciplines as well as several interdisciplinary programs. Courses are also offered in a variety of areas in which degrees are not presently offered.

Along with the programs leading to the associate, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees, the college offers courses that are the general education component of all IUSB undergraduate degrees.

All colleges establish certain academic requirements that must be met before a degree is granted. These regulations concern such things as curricula and courses, the requirements for majors and minors, and university procedures. Advisors, directors, and deans are available to advise students on how to meet these requirements, but each student is individually responsible for fulfilling them. If requirements have not been satisfied, the degree will be withheld pending adequate fulfillment. For this reason, it is important for each student to be well acquainted with all requirements described in this Bulletin.

All students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences should familiarize themselves with the Academic Regulations and Policies of the University in the front section of this Bulletin. A number of specialized regulations apply to the college.

Occasional changes in the graduation requirements for liberal arts and sciences majors may lead to uncertainty as to which Bulletin is applicable for a given graduating student. For the general education requirements and other academic matters, the student may choose either the Bulletin in effect at the time of matriculation to IUSB or the Bulletin in effect at the time of graduation. For meeting requirements of the major, the choice is between the Bulletin in effect when the student certifies into the college and the Bulletin in effect when the student graduates.

ACADEMIC COUNSELING REQUIREMENTS
Academic counseling by a faculty member from the student’s major area(s) is required at least once each year and in some departments prior to each semester’s enrollment.

Academic counseling for each student in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is available prior to each semester’s enrollment by a faculty member from the student’s major area(s). Although academic counseling is intended to provide effective guidance and every student is required to seek the counsel of a faculty advisor, students individually are responsible for planning their own programs and for meeting the degree requirements by the time they expect to be graduated.

CREDIT HOUR REQUIREMENTS
A candidate for a bachelor’s degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences must satisfactorily complete a minimum of 122 credit hours in courses offered by the college or by other academic units of the university offering bachelor’s programs.

TRANSFER CREDITS
Ordinarily, the maximum number of transfer credit hours that may be counted toward graduation in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is 96, including credit
earned at other campuses of Indiana University. Not more than 60 credit hours earned in accredited junior colleges may be credited toward a degree.

GRADES
Students must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 and complete all requirements in the major or minor departments with a C– or better.  (A minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 is required in the student’s major and minor departments.) Any course in which the student receives a grade of F does not count in the credit hours accumulated for graduation. Any course in which a letter grade of D is received will not count in a student’s major or minor.

UPPER-LEVEL COURSE WORK
A minimum of 30 credit hours must be completed in 300-400 (junior-senior) level courses.

RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT
At least 26 credit hours of the work taken as a senior and at least 10 credit hours above the first-level courses in the major subject (not necessarily during the senior year) normally must be completed while in residence at IUSB. The 10 credit hours in the major subject must be taken in courses approved by the major department.

CORRESPONDENCE AND SPECIAL CREDIT
By special permission of the dean, a maximum of 12 credit hours may be earned toward a degree through correspondence study or by special credit examination. Ordinarily students in residence in the college are permitted to enroll concurrently in courses offered through the IU School of Continuing Studies Independent Study Program (correspondence courses). Any correspondence courses in the student’s major must also have the approval of the departmental chairperson. (MATH M110 Excursions in Mathematics and SPCH S121 Public Speaking may not be taken by correspondence.)

TIME LIMIT FOR COMPLETION OF REQUIREMENTS
A student is expected to complete the work for a degree within 10 years. Failure to do so may require passing of comprehensive examinations on the subjects in the area(s) of concentration and fulfilling the requirements in the current Bulletin.

GRADUATION DEADLINES
An application for a degree must be filed in the office of the counselor-recorder, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, not later than October 1 for May graduation, or March 1 for August and December graduation. All credit hours of candidates for degrees, except those of the current semester, must be on record at least six weeks prior to the conferring of degrees. Credit hours by correspondence must be on record at least three weeks prior to the conferring of degrees.

Students may test out of any of the general education requirements in sections I, II, or III above, by passing appropriate proficiency tests. However, every student must take a minimum of four courses in arts and humanities, four courses in social and behavioral sciences, and five courses in natural science and mathematics, regardless of the number of proficiency tests passed. For details see the college’s counselor-recorder.

Concentration Requirement

Many concentrations require careful planning starting with the freshman year. Students are advised to consult early in their college career with the departmental advisor for any department in which they may wish to concentrate.

Single Major Area of Concentration

The following are minimum requirements for the concentration requirement. Additional and/or detailed requirements are to be found in the departmental statements in this Bulletin. The specific departmental requirements that must be fulfilled are those published in the Bulletin that is current at the time the student certifies into the college, or those in the Bulletin current at the time of graduation. The following rules pertain to the concentration group:

• At least 25 credit hours must be taken in the major subject area. This is a minimum. See specific departmental requirements.
• Any course in which the student receives a letter grade below C– may not be used to fulfill the concentration area requirement. However, courses in which the student receives a D or higher will count toward the 122 credit hour total.
• A GPA of 2.0 is required in the student’s major department(s).

A student may major in more than one discipline. A double major requires that the major requirements in both departments be fully met, as well as general education and other general requirements of the college. The student should consult regularly with advisors from both departments if this option is chosen.

Interdepartmental Major

Interdepartmental majors are available for the student whose interests are divided and who would like to study two disciplines or subjects in depth. Such students are required to complete general B.A. degree requirements and 40 credit hours in the concentration area. The 40 credit hour concentration need not be equally divided between the two disciplines, but a program designed to give substantial knowledge should be planned in each discipline. The program in each of the two areas should include a minimum of four advanced (junior-senior) courses, that is, 12 to 16 credit hours of advanced course work in each. Students are required to have two advisors, one from each of the departments in which they propose to study. The associate dean of the college must approve the programs of study.
 
 

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences offers the Bachelor of Science degree in the following majors:

Applied Mathematics
Biology
Chemistry
Computer Science
Economics
Physics
(See economics degree requirements in the Schoool of Business and Economics in this Bulletin)

Every student who registers in a curriculum leading to the degree Bachelor of Science must complete the requirements for bachelor’s degrees and the general education requirements as specified under the respective departmental listing in this Bulletin.

Departmental Minors

Students may choose to earn minors in conjunction with a bachelor’s degree, but are not required to do so. A minor shall consist of at least 15 credit hours, with a grade of C– or better, in one department or in an approved interdepartmental program (a minimum of two courses, totaling at least 6 credit hours, must be taken while in residence at IUSB).

A GPA of 2.0 is required in the student’s minor department(s). Foreign language majors may minor in second languages; others must choose minors outside of their major departments. Each minor program must be approved by an advisor in the department or interdepartmental committee offering the minor and must be filed with the recorder.

For the minor requirements of specific departments and interdepartmental programs, consult those sections of this
Bulletin.

Students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences may combine formal study in business administration with the liberal arts and sciences major. For details see the Special Programs section at the end of liberal arts and sciences in this Bulletin, or Outside Minor in the School of Business and Economics.

Normally the holder of a bachelor’s degree who wishes to pursue a further educational goal is encouraged to become qualified for admission to a graduate degree program. In certain cases, however, the dean may admit a bachelor’s degree holder to candidacy for a second bachelor’s degree. When such admission is granted, the candidate must declare a major, earn at least 26 additional credit hours in residence, and meet the requirements of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and of the major department.

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at IUSB offers instruction leading to Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees. An associate degree can serve a student in two ways. First, it is an intellectually coherent degree that provides a student with a valuable background in critical thinking and the communication skills necessary in the work place. Second, these degrees lay the groundwork for a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree for those students who eventually wish to continue their undergraduate studies.

The educational objectives of the associate degree programs are that students will demonstrate the following:

• critical thinking and problem solving skills.
• the ability to write accurate, clear, effective English.
• knowledge of important principles and findings associated with the application of quantitative methods to society.
• ability in basic learning skills.
• an appreciation of elements of the world’s cultures.
• basic computer proficiency.

• A minimum of 60 credit hours is required.
• At least 15 credit hours must be completed while in residence at IUSB.
• A minimum of two courses in the area of concentration, totaling at least 6 credit hours, must be taken at IUSB.
• No more than 3 credit hours in the discipline of concentration may be counted toward a general education requirement.
• Students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 and a minimum concentration grade point average of 2.0, with no course below C– counting in the concentration.
• An application for a degree must be filed in the office of the counselor-recorder, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, not later than October l for May graduation, or March l for August and December graduation.
• A student may not be awarded an associate degree and a bachelor’s degree in the same field in the same academic year.
• A student need not be registered through liberal arts and sciences to earn an associate degree.

Whether a student takes only one course or an entire degree program, the study of economics can provide many benefits. Among these is an understanding of economic reality through the use of the economist’s analytical tools and developing more effective voters who can decide more confidently policy questions confronting governments. Economics is a science in its own right, and basic knowledge of economics is a prerequisite for many courses in business and allied fields.

Many jobs are available to economists. Business and government job descriptions increasingly specify economics preparation. Whatever one’s career interests, economics now plays a major role in dealing with the modern world.

The Department of Foreign Languages offers courses in French, German, Japanese and Spanish and a major and minor in French, German and Spanish. The department is committed to preparing students for the complex, multi-cultural and transnational environment of life and work. Students are encouraged to combine their study of foreign languages with other disciplines and curricula on campus. Department students may pursue, in addition to foreign language study, a certificate in International Studies or a minor in an interdisciplinary program at IUSB, such as Latin American Studies. Please contact an advisor in the department for further information.

Divisional Requirement

Within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences students pursuing a B.A. degree are required to complete four semesters (12 credit hours) of study in the same language. Students pursuing a B.S. degree should consult with their major department to determine the language requirement. Students from other academic units on campus may take foreign language courses as electives and may earn foreign language credits by placement examination or advanced course placement as described below.

Placement

Students who have studied one or two years of a foreign language in secondary school should normally register for (French, German, Japanese, or Spanish) _102. Students with three years of previous foreign language study should normally register for _203. Students with three or more years of foreign language study also may qualify to register for upper-level courses in the department. To determine placement in department courses students should arrange to take a department placement test by contacting the department. The schedule for placement testing is published in the Schedule of Classes each semester. Credit may also be earned based on the placement test.

Credit for Prior Language Study

Students may earn credit for _101 and _102 language courses on the basis of scores on the department placement test. Six additional credit hours (French, German, Japanese, Spanish) _298 may be earned if students place in a 300-level foreign language course and complete this course with a grade of B or better. Fees for credit by placement examination are $16.80 per credit hour. Scheduled times for placement examinations are published in the Schedule of Classes. Appointments are made by calling the Department of Foreign Languages. For further information on foreign language placement, contact the department chairperson.

Credit by Examination for Advanced Courses

In addition to credit earned by placement testing, students may arrange for credit by examination in other department courses at the 300- or 400-level by contacting the department chairperson. Students should consult with their major advisor to determine the limit on the number of credit hours that may be earned by such examinations. More detailed information on credit by examination is available from the department.

Transfer students

Students transferring to IUSB from another institution should consult the placement policies above and the department chairperson for advising.

Foreign Students

Foreign students may be exempted from the liberal arts and sciences foreign language requirement by demonstrating proficiency in their native language.

Geography courses focus on the spatial arrangement of physical phenomena, people, and their institutions in our world. At IUSB most of the courses are concerned with locational patterns of people, their activities, and how and why those patterns develop. A major in geography currently requires residence in Bloomington. See Indiana University Bloomington, College of Arts and Sciences bulletin for requirements.

Geography courses meet requirements in most of the academic units. Check with your academic unit to determine the specific requirements that are fulfilled by geography courses.

Gerontology, the study of aging and the elderly, is not a separate department but is an interdisciplinary program in which students may complete a minor. The minor is administered by an interdisciplinary Gerontology Committee comprised of faculty members with teaching, research, service, and other interests in the field of aging.

The objectives of the gerontology minor are to promote a better understanding of the aging process, a greater awareness of major issues regarding aging, and an increased insight into the problems of older adults. This minor is especially appropriate for students interested in working with older persons or pursuing graduate degrees in gerontology and related fields.

Students enrolled in bachelor’s degree programs in any academic unit may pursue the minor in gerontology. Interested students are required to declare their intention and work out a program of studies with a member of the Gerontology Committee prior to completing their third course in the program. Students planning careers in gerontologic human service settings will complete a practicum or field experience as part of their core requirements; other students may choose the independent research option.

The minor consists of a minimum of six courses (18 credit hours) including 12 credit hour core requirements and 6 additional credit hours drawn from the following list of existing courses and others approved by the Gerontology Committee. Students whose major requirements do not include a course in research methods may be required to take such a course in addition to the minimum 18 credit hours in gerontology and related courses.

Required Core Courses
(All courses are 3 cr. hours unless otherwise designated)

GER G231 Introduction to Gerontology
PSY P331 Psychology of Aging
SOC S331 Sociology of Aging
Practicum or Independent Study in Gerontology (3 cr.)
The practicum/independent study requirement may be fulfilled by enrollment in the following:
 PSY  P495 Professional Practice Program Internship
 SOC  S468 Research Problems in Sociology or
 SOC  S494 Field Experience in Sociology or
 Similar practicum or research course approved by the Gerontology Committee

Two courses from category A or one course each from categories A and B (listed below)

A. Electives Directly Concerned with Older Adults

Whenever possible, both elective courses should be courses directly concerned with older adults. At least one course from among the following or other approved courses must be taken.

SOC S360 Topics in Social Policy: Issues in Retirement
SOC S360 Topics in Social Policy: Caregiving

Under circumstances in which it is not possible to enroll in two courses from category A, or when an approved alternative course is consistent with the student’s career goals, the student may enroll in one category A and one category B course. This list is representative and not exhaustive; the Gerontology Committee must approve courses chosen as electives relevant to older adults. No more than one course may be taken as part of the 6 credit hours of the minor.

SOC  S314 Social Aspects of Health and Medicine
PSY  P216 Life Span Developmental Psychology
HPER H231 Human Nutrition
SPEA H320 Introduction to Health Administration

Professors: Chesnut, Furlong (Chairperson), Lamon, Schreiber
Associate Professors: Marti, Shlapentokh
Assistant Professors: Myers, Nashel, Tetzlaff
Emeritus Faculty: Scherer, Shapiro, Tull

The study of history encompasses all recorded expressions of human activity—social, political, intellectual, artistic, and economic. Because of its broad scope, history provides an excellent introduction to all studies which concern human beings and their activities. History introduces students to their own culture and to cultures that are foreign both in time and space; it thereby attempts to advance their understandings of themselves and their world.

The Department of History offers every encouragement to superior students, including proseminars and seminars in which small groups consider special topics in detail, and reading courses designed to fit the interests of the individual. Freshmen with superior preparation may, by passing a special examination, receive full credit for HIST H105 American History I, HIST H106 American History II, HIST H113 Western Culture I, and HIST H114 Western Culture II without enrolling in those courses.

Concentration requirements

This requires at least 18 credit hours and may include 6 credit hours at the 100-level. All other history courses must be at the 200-level or above, and must include HIST H217 The Nature of History, 3 credit hours of American history, 3 credit hours of modern Western European history since 1500, and 3 credit hours in some other area (such as ancient, medieval, Russian, or Asian history).

(All courses 3 cr. hours unless otherwise designated)

History majors must earn at least 30 credit hours in history courses. These may include 6 credit hours at the 100-level but all other history courses must be at the 200-level or above, including 6 credit hours of American history, 6 credit hours of modern western European history since 1500, 6 credit hours in other areas. As soon as possible after declaring a major in history, students should enroll in HIST H217 The Nature of History.

Because HIST J495 Proseminar for History Majors is the capstone of your major program, no history major will be allowed to take it without demonstrating thorough preparation. That will be done by submitting a portfolio of written work to the department chairperson at least 90 days before enrolling in the seminar. At minimum, each portfolio must include:

• Six essay examinations (however constructed, each examination must consist entirely of written answers).
• Five essays (which may be book reviews, comments on documents, brief narratives, or interpretive essays).
• Two longer papers that include systematic documentation.

At the earliest possible time, in no case later than the first semester of the junior year, each student, in consultation with a departmental advisor, should develop a suitable course of study. Students who wish to focus their study on a particular historical theme, such as religion, politics, diplomacy, social change, economics, ideas, or some particular world area, must devise a program in consultation with a departmental advisor and, where appropriate, with an advisor from another department related to the proposed focus. If such a focused program necessitates any departure from the general history requirements stated above, the program must also be approved by the history departmental chairperson.

A minor in history consists of a 15 credit hour program to be arranged in consultation with a departmental advisor, and filed with the departmental office. The program for a minor must be arranged at least one semester before graduation. At least 9 of these credit hours must be at the 200-level. A 200-level seminar is strongly recommended for all history minors.

History of Art

A degree in history with a focus in history of art may also be obtained. This degree requires 21 credit hours in history and 18 credit hours in the history of art. These may include 6 credit hours at the 100-level, but all other courses must be at the 200-level or above, plus a 400-level seminar, in either history or fine arts. The student may receive further information from the Department of History or the School of the Arts.

Foreign Languages

Students are encouraged to continue their foreign language study beyond the two years required by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Graduate schools generally require mastery of one foreign language for the study of American history and of two or more foreign languages for study of other fields of history. Students with appropriate language competence are encouraged to participate in the university’s various programs of foreign study.

Latin American studies focus on the culture, society, and history of South America, Central America and Mexico, and the Caribbean, as well as the experience of people from these regions. The approach is holistic and interdisciplinary, combining language proficiency and cultural appreciation with analysis of social institutions and the processes of social, political, economic, and cultural change.

For more information about the Latin American Studies program, contact any of the following faculty members: Austin, Chen, Dimitrakopoulos, Febres, Noriega, or Sernau.

(All courses 3 cr. hours unless otherwise designated)

The minor consists of a minimum of 15 credit hours distributed as follows:

One of the following in Latin American history, politics or society:
 POLS Y330 Central American Politics (includes Mexico and Caribbean)
 POLS Y330 Latin American Politics (focuses on South America)

One of the following in Latin American culture:
 SPAN S363 Introducción a la Cultura Hispánica
 SPAN S412 Latin American Culture and Civilization

Electives (6 cr.)
Independent study project

The 6 credit hours of electives may be drawn from the following courses or an approved substitute. Students seeking to apply a course with a comprehensive international theme to the minor should be able to show that a major portion of their work, such as a term paper or similar assignment, dealt directly with a Latin American topic. To preserve the minor’s interdisciplinary focus, both electives may not be drawn from the same department.

Possible Electives

Business and Economics

BUS  D300 International Business Administration
BUS  M401 International Marketing
ECON E430 International Economics

GEOG G213 Economic Geography
GEOG G313 Political Geography

HIST  H234 Explorations and Discoveries (Aztec/Spanish)
HIST  H235  Discoveries and Settlements

SPEA V450 Comparative Urban Systems (emphasizes NAFTA corridor)
SPEA V450 Comparative Environmental Policy (emphasizes NAFTA)
(Both SPEA V450 courses may include travel to Mexico or Central America.)

Language facility is an important part of regional and cross-cultural understanding. All students seeking this minor must complete second-year Spanish or its equivalent. Students who are registered in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will complete the language requirement by taking Spanish to fulfill the language requirements for the B.A. Students in other academic units may apply SPAN S203 Second-Year Spanish I and SPAN S204 Second-Year Spanish II as electives for the minor as well as meeting the language requirement. Students enrolled or contemplating this minor are encouraged to complete their language courses as early as possible in their program.

Both the Spanish and Sociology component of the IUSB Mexico Program, “Language, Culture and Society in Mexico,” can be applied to the minor, and students are encouraged to consider this program or other international experience. All course work for the minor should be planned with an advisor from the Latin American Studies Committee, and the independent study should be arranged well in advance. This will help achieve a program of complementary course work tailored to a student’s specific needs and interests.

In the area of mathematics, the department offers both a Bachelor of Arts in mathematics and a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics. After completing a core curriculum in theoretical mathematics, a Bachelor of Arts student may choose from a wide variety of advanced mathematics courses as electives. Students who plan to enter graduate school and pursue a career in mathematics should consider the Bachelor of Arts degree option. Students completing the Bachelor of Science degree program are prepared for graduate school or a career in industry or government. The department also offers a two year Associate of Arts degree in mathematics, and a minor in mathematics. A wide variety of service courses are also offered for students majoring in other disciplines, including computer science, physics and other sciences, business and economics, and education. A placement examination is used to match new students with an entry course at an appropriate level.

In the area of computer science, the department offers a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science that follows the guidelines set out by professional computing societies. Students in this degree program complete a core curriculum that builds an overall understanding of computers, computing environments, and theoretical issues. The degree prepares students to enter challenging computing careers in the workplace or to embark on post-graduate programs in computing. Alternatively, students may earn an Associate of Science, minor in computer science, or complete one of the two certificate programs offered in order for students to become skilled programmers and to learn how computers are organized and how they work. Nonmajors are invited to take courses in computer applications or programming.

Scheduling of Courses in Mathematics and Computer Science

To help students make long-range curriculum plans, the department attempts to offer courses in a predictable fashion. Courses are offered both in the daytime and in the evenings (5:30 p.m. or later); a course that is offered in the evening in one term will normally be offered during the day in the next term in which it is scheduled, and vice versa. A brochure containing the most recent information about the mathematics and computer science curricula may be obtained from the departmental secretary.

Mathematics Placement Examination

Students planning to take their first IUSB mathematics or computer science course must take the placement examination. The examination is designed to help IUSB students determine the level at which they should begin their mathematical studies.

The examination usually takes less than one hour to complete. No registration for this examination is necessary. Students should review materials from prior mathematics courses before taking the examination.
