General Information

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is the nucleus of IU South Bend. 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, students graduate prepared for a lifetime of learning and are better able to cope with and enjoy the rapidly changing world in which we live.

Faculty in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences advise all students with a declared major in the college, as well as those who are undecided but leaning toward a traditional arts and sciences major. In addition, faculty have accepted the responsibility of advising and welcoming all incoming freshmen students who are undecided about their major. Regular advising sessions are scheduled during summer orientation and by appointment throughout the year in Wiekamp Hall 3300B. The advising telephone number for students undecided about a major is (574) 520-4537.

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) 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.

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences also shelters the general studies degree program, both associate and bachelor's degrees. General studies degrees are granted by the School of Continuing Studies ; local governance is by a committee of the IU South Bend Academic Senate. General studies information is available in this Campus Bulletin and by calling (574) 520-4260.

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 IU South Bend undergraduate degrees.

The Student's Responsibility

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 are not satisfied, the degree is withheld pending adequate fulfillment. For this reason, it is important for each student to be well acquainted with all requirements described in this Campus Bulletin .

Academic Regulations

All students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences should familiarize themselves with the Academic Regulations and Policies in the front section of this Campus 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 Campus Bulletin is applicable for a given graduating student. For the general education requirements and other academic matters, the student may choose either the Campus Bulletin in effect at the time of matriculation to IU South Bend or the Campus Bulletin in effect at the time of graduation. For meeting requirements of the major, the choice is between the Campus Bulletin in effect when the student certifies into the college and the Campus Bulletin in effect when the student graduates.

Academic Probation

A College of Liberal Arts and Sciences student who has attempted 12 or more credit hours is placed on probation if their cumulative grade point average falls below 2.0, and remains on probation until it reaches or exceeds 2.0. If a student who is on probation fails to achieve a 2.0 in any regular fall or spring semester, the student is restricted to half-time enrollment for the following six (6) months of enrollment. If that student fails for a second time to achieve a 2.0 in any one semester of enrollment, he/she is subject to dismissal from the university for at least one year, at the discretion of the probation committee.

Academic Renewal

Academic renewal for prior Indiana University course work may be requested by students who did not register for courses at any Indiana University campus for at least three consecutive calendar years after the period for which academic renewal is requested. Contact a College of Liberal Arts and Sciences advisor for more information.

Associate Degrees

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at IU South Bend offers instruction leading to Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees. Associate degrees can serve students in two ways. First, they are intellectually coherent degrees that provide a student with a valuable background in critical thinking and the communication skills necessary in the workplace. 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 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

The following are minimum requirements for the concentration requirement. Additional and/or detailed requirements are to be found in the departmental statements in this Campus Bulletin . The specific departmental requirements that must be fulfilled are those published in the Campus Bulletin that is current at the time the student certifies into the college (but not longer than 10 years), or those in the Campus 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 counts toward the 122 credit hour total that is required for graduation.

- A GPA of 2.0 is required in the student's major department(s).

Double Major

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.

Requirements for a Second Bachelor's Degree

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.

1 Computer science majors are not allowed to count CSCI-A 201 Introduction to Programming toward the minor. No student may count both CSCI-A 201 Introduction to Programming and CSCI-C 101 Computer Programming toward the minor.

At least 3 credit hours from each of the areas of computer science or mathematics, philosophy, and psychology, chosen from the courses listed above, must be included in the program, 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 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; there may also be appropriate courses from anthropology, linguistics, or neuroscience, among others.

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 and Cognitive Science, and certificates in Computer Programming, Advanced Computer Programming, Computer Applications, and Technology for Administration. In collaboration with other departments, Computer Science offers a Bachelor of Science and a minor in Informatics. 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, systems analysts, software engineers, and to learn how computers can be used to solve business and scientific problems. Nonmajors are invited to take courses in computer applications and programming and work toward the Certificate in Computer Applications.

The Master of Science in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science is offered jointly with the department of mathematical sciences. Students in the program 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 201.

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 56.

The Bachelor of Science and the minor in Informatics are offered jointly with a number of other departments at IU South Bend. A complete description of this program begins on page 68.

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.)

Any student who intends to major or minor in computer science or obtain a Certificate in Computing should contact the chairperson of the Department of Computer and Information Sciences as soon as possible to arrange for academic advising.

Placement Examination

Students planning to enroll in CSCI-C 101 Computer Programming I must place at Level 3 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 3 on the examination must complete appropriate remedial mathematics courses before enrolling in CSCI-C 101 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 are an understanding of economic reality through the use of the economist's analytical tools and developing more effective voters who can decide more confidently the 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.
