Latin American/Latino Studies focus on the culture, society, and history of South America, Central America and Mexico, and the Caribbean, as well as the experiences in the United States of people and their descendents 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/Latino Studies program, contact any of the following faculty members: Chen, Fong-Morgan, Rios, or Sernau.

Language Requirement
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 programs 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/Latino 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.

Mathematical Sciences offers a Bachelor of Arts in mathematics, Bachelor of Science degrees in Applied Mathematics and Actuarial Science, and a Master of Science in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science.
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 programs 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.
The Master of Science program is offered jointly with the Department of Computer and Information Sciences. Students in the program will take advanced courses in both applied mathematics and computer science, with emphasis on real-world problems and applications.
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.
Scheduling of Courses in Mathematics
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 curriculum may be obtained from the departmental secretary.
Mathematics Placement Examination
Students planning to take their first IUSB mathematics course must take the placement examination. The examination is designed to help determine the level at which students 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. The examination times are listed in the Schedule of Classes.
The test can place the student at one of the following levels:
Level I
MATH M004 Introduction to Algebra

Actuaries use mathematics and financial theory to determine the financial effect that uncertain future events such as birth, death, retirement, fire, accident, and sickness have on insurance and other benefit plans. Actuaries may work for insurance companies, employee benefits, consulting firms, or the benefits departments of general business and government agencies. The competitive actuarial profession requires mathematics graduates to have analytic, statistical, and computational skills, which will allow them to solve industrial problems, predict the financial effects of uncertain future events, and carry out decision-making analyses. Students graduating from the program who plan to pursue careers in Actuarial Science can expect to succeed on the first one or two Actuarial Science examinations, and thus be ready to enter the actuarial profession. Students graduating from the program who choose not to become actuaries will be well prepared to enter industry and work in such areas as quality control, computational analysis, information management, forecasting, risk analysis, simulation, and finance. A student wishing to pursue graduate study in mathematics or business will certainly be prepared for either discipline.

Philosophy emphasizes clear, critical, and logical thinking about philosophical problems by locating these problems in everyday experience and in the writings of the great philosophers. Philosophy also stresses reflection on established beliefs and values so that we can achieve a better understanding of ourselves and the world in which we live. The curriculum in philosophy is designed to contribute to the intellectual training of all undergraduates and to acquaint students with some of the most important developments in intellectual history. The curriculum is structured to meet the needs not only of those who want to become professional philosophers, but also of those who want to pursue philosophy as a personal interest or as a concentration area to complement study in another field.
The department offers courses both in philosophy and in the history and philosophy of science. It is one of several IUSB departments that offers courses in religious studies and in cognitive science. Students who wish to focus their study on philosophy and a related area–for example, art, religion, women’s studies, a social or behavioral science, mathematics, a physical or biological science, the law–are invited to talk with any member of the department about the possible benefits of such options as a double major, an interdepartmental major, or a minor in philosophy, religious studies, or cognitive science.
Associate of Arts with a Concentration in Philosophy
(All courses are 3 cr.
hours unless otherwise designated.)
Concentration Requirements
At least 15 credit hours in philosophy, with at least 3 credit hours in the history of philosophy, 3 credit hours in either metaphysics or epistemology, and 3 credit hours in either ethics, logic, or the history and philosophy of science; of the remaining 6 credit hours in philosophy, at least 3 must be at or above the 200-level.
Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy
(All courses are 3 cr.
hours unless otherwise designated.)

Psychology offers a Master of Arts in Applied Psychology, a major in psychology leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree, as well as course work leading to the Associate of Arts degree and to a minor in psychology. As a scientific endeavor, psychology seeks to understand the basic principles by which organisms adapt their behavior to the changing physical and social environments in which they live. Psychologists apply their understanding of behavior, thought, and emotion to the improvement of the human condition through education, counseling, and therapy. The breadth of modern psychology is reflected in the diversity of courses offered by the department.

The Department of Sociology and Anthropology at IUSB is dedicated to fostering a critical understanding of the social and cultural diversity and dynamics of the human condition through education and discovery. As a faculty we are committed to excellence in teaching and concern for the welfare of our students, scholarly and professional creativity, and campus and community service.
Within the context of a liberal arts education we cultivate in our students a sociological imagination intended to prepare them to be active contributors to their communities and to live fruitful lives as informed citizens of a global society. Through their education and training in theoretical analysis and the development of research skills, our students gain a solid practical basis for pursuing careers in law, social work, business, public administration, and many human services professions. They also are well equipped to pursue graduate study in sociology or anthropology in order to go on to careers in teaching, administration, and research.

Anthropology requires that its practitioners experience what it means to be human in different cultures, as well as to develop a new awareness and understanding of their own. It promotes a critical perspective about ourselves, our societies, and our relationship with other societies within the broader global framework. Through exploration of how other peoples and cultures from the past and present have handled common human problems such as providing subsistence, creating families, maintaining social order, etc., the study of anthropology enhances our appreciation of the diversity of possible solutions to our own problems as well as more global concerns.

Women’s Studies provides students a coherent, but flexible, program of study examining scholarship and theory on the history, status, contributions, and experiences of women in diverse cultural communities.
The interdisciplinary perspective of the field expands our intellectual vision and our capacity to resolve problems. The traditional disciplines have led to inadequate and incomplete understandings of human experience. Women’s Studies is committed to an expanding recognition of the impact and strength of difference and diversity in women’s lives.
The Women’s Studies minor and/or two-year associate degree program enables students to analyze how gender, in its dynamic interrelationship with race and class, has shaped and given meaning to women’s lives.
The Women’s Studies program is administered by the director and the Women’s Studies Governing Board. The following faculty teach* Women’s Studies courses and serve on the Women’s Studies Governing Board: Bender, Bennion, Borshuk, Brittenham, Chen, L. Collins, Gindele, Lucal, McGuire, Roth, Scanlan, Tetzlaff, Torstrick, and Walker.

Cooperation between IUSB and Purdue University makes it possible for students to take the freshman year, and in some cases the sophomore year, of engineering at the IUSB campus. A student who satisfactorily completes this program may transfer to the West Lafayette campus of Purdue University for course work leading to the bachelor’s degree in any of the Schools of Engineering or in mathematical science. The student must apply to Purdue University as a transfer student and must meet Purdue University’s requirements for transfer students. A student who wishes to transfer to Purdue University into a school other than engineering or mathematics should consult with the Purdue University’s Office of Admissions.
If a transfer from an Indiana University campus to Purdue University's Engineering Technology Program is approved, all approved courses will transfer with both credit hours and grades.
A student who enters this program must meet the usual requirements for admission to engineering at Purdue University. The student also will be required to take placement examinations for proper assignments. Full-time students should complete 16 to 18 credit hours per semester in order to be ready for the sophomore year of engineering at Purdue University.
A student who wishes further guidance and counseling should consult with program advisors at IUSB.

Certificate of
International Studies
The International Studies certificate allows students from all disciplines to add international breadth to their program. In an increasingly interdependent world, it is vital to develop expertise in this area. Evidence of focused international study is looked upon as a key distinction by employers in business, government, education, the arts, human services, and other areas, as well as by graduate and professional schools.
The certificate consists of a minimum of 15 credit hours of courses designated as having an international focus, and two semesters of a foreign language. Although not required, a study abroad experience is recommended. All study abroad counts toward the certificate, and if it involves another language, it also counts toward the language requirement.
The 21 hours must be distributed as follows:
—6 credit hours in a foreign language
—15 credit hours (after the foreign language) must include no more than one 100-level and at least one 400-level course
The 21 credit hours must include courses from three academic units in a program that focuses either on a topic or a geographic area. The courses can also satisfy other liberal arts and sciences requirements.
If you wish to earn a Certificate of International Studies, please contact the director of International Programs.
Secondary Teachers’ Certificates
With careful planning, a student may earn a standard teacher’s certificate while working for a bachelor’s degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. For details see School of Education in this Campus Bulletin.
