Liberal Arts Curriculum

|
Return to: Degree Programs
Freshmen entering UArts in Fall 2005 follow a different set of Liberal Arts requirements than those students who are currently enrolled. This is the result of a new Liberal Arts curriculum that aims to help students understand the fundamental relationship between the Liberal Arts and their professional majors; the historical context necessary to nurture a variety of perspectives on the evolution of culture; and the basic principles of the Arts, Liberal Arts, and the Natural and Social Sciences.
The new Liberal Arts requirements, along with those that govern currently enrolled and upperclass transfer students, are specified in the information that follows.

Liberal Arts Requirements For Freshmen Matriculating as of Fall 2005 Total Credits: 42Liberal Arts Core Credits: 12
Based on transcripts, SAT scores, TSWE scores on the verbal test of TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), and a placement test, students may be placed in HU 008 (ESL) or HU 009. These courses do not satisfy the First Year Writing requirements and will not apply toward degree requirements. Students who successfully complete HU 008 or HU 009 will then take LACR 101, or may in some cases be assigned to HU 109 B, First Year Writing, which counts toward the degree and substitutes for LA CR 101.
Satisfactory completion of the First Year Writing sequence is required prior to registration for most other courses that carry Liberal Arts credit. Specific prerequisites are listed with the course description in the back of this catalog. In addition, failure to complete this sequence may cause the student to receive censure from the Academic Review Committee. Scientific Inquiry Foundation Track (SIFT) Credits: 3
Choose one of these seven courses: Discipline History (DH) Credits: 9 Majors in:Multimedia
- Six credits chosen from any Arts/Discipline History
Theater Design and Technology
Period Interpretations Credits: 6
Period Interpretations are an array of interdisciplinary courses that
explore the process by which we understand cultural eras. Students consider
both conventional and innovative interpretations of cultural history.
All students are required to take two Period Interpretation courses, one
20th Century, and one pre-20th Century. Ideally, the 20th century course
is completed in the Junior year. Please note that a wide variety of Period
Interpretations will be phased into the new Liberal Arts curriculum
beginning in the Fall of 2007. Electives Credits: 15
Students may choose electives from the extensive listing of courses. Some students concentrate their study in a single area (literature, psychology) while others take a broad array of courses from across the range of Liberal Arts offerings. The new Liberal Arts curriculum offers students a great deal of flexibility and freedom of choice. To make the best use of these opportunities, students should study the elective lists carefully, explore their educational opportunities with their advisors and with the Liberal Arts faculty and Director, and create a coherent study plan.
