African American Studies Minor
Coordinator: Tetzlaff
Telephone: (574) 237-6515
A minor in African American Studies provides students with a focused understanding of the vital role of African American culture and contributions in American life. The minor consists of a core introductory course (AFRO-A 150), an African American history course (HIST-A 355 or HIST-A 356) and three elective courses with an African American emphasis, forming a total of 15 credits. The approach is interdisciplinary, combining the social and behavioral sciences, the humanities, business, public affairs, and education. In addition to broadening students' awareness, this minor is expected to enhance students' employability in all fields which serve African American populations and in all United States workplaces where their co-workers, employers, or employees might be African American.
African American Studies, as defined by one of its leading scholars is "the systematic study of the black experience, framed by the socioeconomic, cultural and geographical boundaries of sub-Saharan Africa and the black diaspora."* All of the leading universities of the nation offer an African American studies in some format, whether it be a major, a minor, a department, or a program. Other branches of Indiana University, such as IU Bloomington, IU Northwest and IUPUI also offer African American studies majors or minors.
Who Will Benefit From The Minor?
The African American Studies minor integrates easily with majors such as history, sociology, political science, and literature, as well as general studies. Research in African American studies is important to policy makers, and thus is essential to the public affairs portion of SPEA, the School of Public and Environmental Affairs. Student/citizens, as well as students who may become government workers and elected officials need knowledge of the history and status of African Americans. African American studies will be of direct benefit to IUSB students studying and entering the professions of social work, education, law, criminal justice, public affairs, business, nursing and the medical and dental professions, all of which serve African American populations. IUSB students who become deeply interested in African American studies will also be better prepared to enter graduate programs in this growing field. African American studies is part of the greater work of education in improving our nation and the world. A strong program in African American studies can increase understanding and acceptance of all cultures in our multi-cultural society. It can reduce discrimination, misunderstanding, and inequality.
Requirements
This minor consists of 15 credit hours of course work, including two core courses, AFRO-A 150 and either HIST-A 355 or HIST-A 356, as well as three electives, at least one of which must be at the 300-level or above. A grade of C- or better will be required in each of the courses that count toward the minor. A cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 is required for the minor.
"With an African American emphasis" means that the African American Studies Committee has reviewed the syllabus of the instructor and determined that it fits into the minor. It also means that the student will complete one major assignment or research paper on an African American topic when taking the course. Electives eligible for the minor will be listed in the published course schedules under the heading Afro-American Studies (AFRO). Departments or programs offering these courses will cross-list these courses with an AFRO number whenever possible.

1Courses in the cognitive science (last) category only count as courses in cognitive science when offered with the subtitle "Introduction to Cognitive Science." When so offered, the course content will be interdisciplinary, drawing from some or all of the areas: philosophy, psychology, computer science, linguistics, neuroscience, anthropology, and/or mathematics. The primary goal of the course is to survey cognitive science as a whole and to demonstrate both its unity and its eclectic nature. A seminar format will be used.
In addition, the following conditions must be met:
1. One of the above courses listed under cognitive science, offered with the subtitle "Introduction to Cognitive Science," must be included in the program.
2. At least 3 credit hours from each of the areas of mathematics, computer science, philosophy, and psychology from courses listed above must be included in the program.
Condition 2 is subject to the following exception. Because no course can count toward both a major and a minor, students who major in one of the departments listed above (mathematics, computer science, philosophy, or psychology) may be allowed to count an extra course in one of the other two departments toward the cognitive science minor if they need to apply all courses listed above in their major area toward that major. This substitution is subject to the approval of the Cognitive Science Committee.
All minor programs require approval by the Cognitive Science Committee. Courses not listed above may be included with permission of the committee. Such courses are not restricted to the areas of mathematics, computer science, psychology, and philosophy; they may also be appropriate courses from anthropology, linguistics, or neuroscience.

The department offers a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, an Associate of Science in Computer Science, a Master of Science in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, minors in computer science, cognitive science, and informatics, certificates in Computer Programming, Advanced Computer Programming, and Technology for Administration. It also provides support to the Master of Science in Management of Information Technology offered by the School of Business and Economics.
The Bachelor of Science degree program follows the guidelines set out by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), the leading 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 postgraduate programs in computing.
The Associate of Science degree program makes up roughly the first half of the Bachelor of Science program. The minor in computer science requires the same computing courses as the associate degree. These programs, as well as the certificate programs, allow 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.
The Master of Science in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science is offered jointly with the Department of Mathematical Sciences. Students in the program will take advanced courses in both computer science and applied mathematics, with emphasis on real-world problems and applications. A complete description of this program begins on page 187.
The minor in cognitive science is offered jointly with the Departments of Mathematical Sciences, Philosophy, and Psychology. A complete description of this program begins on page 101.
The minor in informatics is offered jointly with a number of other departments at IUSB. A complete description of this program begins on page 112.
Scheduling of Computer Science Courses
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 computer science curriculum may be obtained from the departmental secretary.
Any student who intends to major or minor in computer science or obtain a certificate in programming should contact the chairperson of the Department of Computer and Information Sciences as soon as possible.
Placement Examination
Students planning to enroll in CSCI C101 Computer Programming I must place at level III of the mathematics placement examination before registering for the course. The examination tests mathematics skills (arithmetic, algebra, and trigonometry) which students entering the computing curriculum are generally expected to have mastered in their precollege studies. Students who place lower than level III on the examination must complete appropriate remedial mathematics courses before enrolling in CSCI C101 Computer Programming I.

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.

New Curriculum/Major Sequence Courses
Since the fall of 2001, the English department has been offering ENG E301, ENG E302, ENG E303, and ENG E304 in place of the ENG L297, ENG L298, and ENG L299 sequence.
• ENG E301 Literatures in English to 1600 replaces ENG L297 English Literature to 1600
• ENG E302 Literatures in English 1600-1800 replaces ENG L298 English Literature 1600-1800
• ENG E303 Literatures in English 1800-1900 replaces ENG L299 English Literature since 1800
• ENG E304 Literatures in English 1900-Present is a new course, but contains some material that was previously covered in ENG L299.
Students who began the major before fall 2001 and who have begun the ENG L29x sequence may not take a course from the ENG E30x series that overlaps with an ENG L29x course they have previously completed.
Thus, a student who has completed ENG L297 satisfactorily may not take ENG E301 for credit. A student who has completed ENG L298 satisfactorily may not take ENG E302 for credit. A student who has completed ENG L299 satisfactorily may not take ENG E303 or ENG E304 for credit.
Students who have remaining requirements in the ENG L29x sequence should take their closest equivalents in the ENG E30x series.
• If you need ENG L297, take ENG E301
• If you need ENG L298, take ENG E302
• If you need ENG L299, take ENG E303 or ENG E304
A student who has completed three courses from the ENG E30x sequence may count the fourth toward the nine additional hours in literature at the 300-level and above.

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, the Certificate in International Studies or a minor in an interdisciplinary program at IUSB, such as Latin American/Latino Studies or Film Studies. Please contact an advisor in the department for further information.
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 programs 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.
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 examination by contacting the department. The schedule for placement examinations is published in the Schedule of Classes each semester. Credit may also be earned based on the placement examination.
Credit for Prior Language Study
Students may earn credit for _101 and _102 language courses on the basis of scores on the department placement examination. 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. The credit hour fee for credit by examination is determined by the Board of Trustees. Call the Office of the Bursar for the current rate. Appointments for placement examinations can be made by calling 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 examinations, 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 may be exempted from the liberal arts and sciences foreign language requirement by demonstrating proficiency in their native language. They may earn credit by examination if the language is offered for instruction at IUSB. Foreign students majoring in their native language are required to take a minimum of 18 credit hours in foreign languages, of which at least 9 must be at the 400-level (6 credit hours in literature courses).

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 programs. Check with your academic program 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. For information about the gerontology program, contact the program coordinator.
Minor in Gerontology
Students enrolled in bachelor's degree programs in any academic program may pursue the minor in gerontology. Interested students are required to declare their intention and work out a program of studies with the program coordinator 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 five courses (15 credit hours) drawn from the following list of existing courses approved by the Gerontology Committee.
(All courses are 3 cr. hours unless otherwise designated.)
Requirements
PSY P331 Psychology of Aging
SOC S331 Sociology of Aging
Choose from the following:
BIOL L100 Humans and the Biological World (5 cr.)
PHSL P130 Human Biology
PHSL P261 Human Anatomy and Physiology I (5 cr.)
PHSL P262 Human Anatomy and Physiology II (5 cr.)
Choose one of the following:
SOC S314 Social Aspects of Health and Medicine
SPEA H320 Health Systems Administration
SPEA H411 Long-Term Care Administration
The practicum or independent study requirement may be fulfilled by enrollment in the following (80-100 clock hours):
NURS Z492 Individual Study in Nursing (1-6 cr.)
PSY P495 Readings and Research in Psychology (1-3 cr.)
SOC S431 Topics in Social Psychology: Research in Sociology of Aging
SOC S468 Research Problems in Sociology (1-3 cr.)
SOC S494 Field Experience in Sociology

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.
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.
Associate of Arts with a Concentration in History
(All courses are 3 cr. hours unless otherwise designated.)
Concentration Requirements (18 cr.)
This concentration 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 are 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 such as Ancient, Medieval, Russian, or Asian history. 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 the 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 60 days before the seminar begins. 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.
• A formal job resume.
No more than three items in any portfolio may come from any one course. The items need not all come from history courses. Finally, all portfolios will include brief introductions in which students evaluate their own work and indicate which items they consider best.
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 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.

Informatics is the study of the science and application of information technology to various disciplines. This is distinct from the studies of computer science and information systems. They cover the theory of a particular discipline in depth. Informatics covers a breadth of issues in various disciplines including the social and ethical issues facing our information society.
This is a cross-disciplinary minor where a student takes three core courses in informatics and two courses in her/his chosen discipline. The choice of upper-level courses is made by the student in conjunction with the discipline advisor and the director of informatics.

Courses may count toward the minor and at the same time satisfy particular general education requirements of the major field of study. However, no course can count toward both a major and a minor. If a conflict occurs, students would enroll in additional replacement courses chosen in conjunction with the major field advisor and the director of informatics. Courses not listed above may be included in the course of study with permission of the director of informatics.
