Liberal Arts Curriculum
|
|
Return to: Departments
Freshmen entering UArts in and after Fall 2005 follow a different set of Liberal Arts requirements than those who entered before 2005. This is the result of a new Liberal Arts curriculum. The new Liberal Arts requirements, along with those that govern currently enrolled and upper-class 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
First Year Writing - credits: 6
Based on transcripts, SAT scores, TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), and a placement test, students may be placed in LACR 007/008 (ESL) or LACR 009. These courses do not satisfy the First Year Writing requirements and will not apply toward degree requirements. Students who successfully complete LACR 007 (and sometimes LACR 008) or LACR 009 will then take LACR 101, or may in some cases be assigned to LACR 100, First Year Writing, which counts toward the degree and substitutes for LACR 101.
Satisfactory completion of the First Year Writing sequence is required before 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 eight courses: Texts and Contexts
Perspectives on the Humanities 3 credits Discipline History (DH) Credits: 9 Majors in:Illustration
- Art History Elective 3 hr, 3 crs.
Theater Design and Technology
Period Interpretations Credits: 6
Period Interpretations are 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 twentieth century, and one pre-twentieth century. Ideally, the twentieth 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 an 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 Dean, and create a coherent study plan.
