By vocation, the Universitas magistrorum et scholarium is dedicated to research, to teaching and to the education of students who freely associate with their teachers in a common love of knowledge. With every other University it shares that gaudium de veritate, so precious to Saint Augustine, which is that joy of searching for, discovering and communicating truth in every field of knowledge. A Catholic University′s privileged task is "to unite existentially by intellectual effort two orders of reality that too frequently tend to be placed in opposition as though they were antithetical: the search for truth, and the certainty of already knowing the fount of truth."

Ex Corde Ecclesiae

We who are dedicated to teaching and learning here in the School of Arts and Sciences at The Catholic University of America share some simple convictions.

We believe that despite the increasing complexities of a globalizing world, the traditional core of humanities, arts, social sciences, and natural sciences still provides the best educational launching pad for our undergraduates, and still constitutes the most dynamic, most essential core of higher research. We maintain that our Catholic mission and identity enable us to marry reason and faith in a way that enriches every discipline. We are convinced that the best teachers are the best researchers, and we seek to attract and retain the best faculty dedicated to primary research as well as graduate and undergraduate teaching. We know from experience that our location in the nation′s capital allows us to offer students a stunning array of cultural experiences, work, research, and internship opportunities, and quality of life.

By far the biggest school at CUA, arts and sciences currently enrolls more than 1,800 undergraduates and nearly 600 graduate students. The school encompasses 18 departments and several more nondepartmental programs, with a regular faculty of more than 165. We currently list almost 60 undergraduate majors and approximately 70 graduate degree programs.

In 1975, the Graduate School and the College of Arts and Sciences were combined to form the present School of Arts and Sciences.

The Academic Council, composed of the heads of departments with the dean as chair, is the standing committee of the faculty, with the primary responsibility for the administration of the school. The Academic Council operates under the supervision of the chancellor, president, provost, and dean. Its recommendations are made to these and other proper authorities, as well as to the faculty. Such recommendations include, among others, the approval of candidates for degrees. The faculty is represented, proportionally to its size, along with the other schools of the university, in the Academic Senate, a combined administration-faculty body having primary responsibility for academic policies and procedures, and in the graduate and undergraduate boards, faculty committees, which oversee university-wide academic matters.

Degree programs within the school are provided through the various departments of instruction.

3. The Department of Education offers programs leading to teacher certification at the early childhood and elementary levels, and—through joint programs with subject-area departments–at the secondary level. Secondary education programs are available in art, drama, English, French, German, history, mathematics, and Spanish. (For music education programs, see the Benjamin T. Rome School of Music section of these Announcements.) For more information on certification programs, contact the director of teacher education in the Department of Education.

Accelerated Degree Programs

For additional information on the accelerated programs described below, the student should consult the associate dean for undergraduate studies in the School of Arts and Sciences.

Three-Year Bachelor′s Degree Program
Students of exceptional achievement may earn the bachelor′s degree in three years. This may be accomplished by over-electing six courses each semester after the first (a 3.0 grade-point average is required to over-elect), plus completing five courses during summer sessions. Special recognition at commencement is accorded to students who complete this accelerated degree program. This recognition is not available for students who transfer to CUA from other institutions. The number of transfer courses after CUA matriculation is also limited for students seeking this recognition; see the assistant dean for details.

B.A.-M.A./B.S.-M.S. Program
The School of Arts and Sciences offers to students with outstanding academic records (minimum 3.5 grade-point average) the possibility of beginning work toward a master′s degree during both semesters of their senior year. In such cases, up to four courses may, with approval, be applied to both undergraduate and graduate degree requirements. However, all requirements for the bachelor′s degree must be completed before credits toward the master′s degree may be applied, and all M.A. or M.S. requirements must be completed within five years of matriculation. Application should be made at the beginning of the junior year and must be completed by the end of the junior year. A 3.5 cumulative grade-point average is required at the time of application.

Six-Year B.A.-J.D. Program (Law)
A cooperative program of the School of Arts and Sciences and the Columbus School of Law allows undergraduates to apply for admission to the Columbus School of Law after three years in the School of Arts and Sciences. The program is open to all undergraduates regardless of major field, but enrollment is limited. Acceptance depends upon a superior undergraduate academic record, success on the Law School Admission Test, and an estimate of the student′s ability to pursue the study of law after the junior year. Initial steps to enter the program should be taken before the end of the sophomore year, when a 3.6 grade-point average is required, and application made to the law school in the second semester of the junior year. Successful candidates receive the B.A. degree at the end of the fourth year and the J.D. degree two years thereafter

CUAbroad: Study Abroad Programs
CUAbroad (Education Abroad Office) works with the various academic and administrative units campus-wide to provide a wide array of education abroad opportunities for both CUA and non-CUA students. CUAbroad offers short-term as well as semester- or year-long programs, honors study abroad, international internships, and intensive language programs. CUAbroad also provides specialized services to CUA students, such as education abroad advising, an education abroad resource library, issuance of the International Student ID card, and travel insurance information. CUAbroad is part of the Center for Global Education at CUA, which advances the international character of the university by promoting, supporting, and developing international and intercultural education opportunities for members of the CUA community.

Professional Education

Accounting
The Department of Business and Economics offers programs in accounting to prepare the student who intends eventually to take the examination for Certified Public Accounting (CPA) or the examination for Certified Management Accounting (CMA). The educational and experience requirements of boards of accountancy vary from state to state. It is the student′s responsibility to determine the requirements that must be met in his or her state in order to sit for the examination, and to request changes in the program to meet those requirements. The department maintains a current directory of requirements for all states, territories, and the District of Columbia and can assist the student in meeting these requirements. Students have the advantages of small classes for greater individual attention as well as of advising from faculty with professional experience. Internships and part-time employment at offices of private firms and federal government agencies are also available.

Education
Preparation for teaching certification is provided for those planning to enter the teaching profession at the early childhood, elementary or secondary school level. (For specific secondary programs, consult the Department of Education section of these Announcements and item 3 under Major Programs, above.) The teacher education unit is fully accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and most programs are nationally recognized by NCATE′s Specialized Professional Associations. All programs are currently approved by District of Columbia jurisdictions. A standard teaching certificate may be obtained from the District of Columbia upon completion of a teacher education program. At this time, the District of Columbia has reciprocity agreements with 44 states.

Social Work
Adviser: Lynn Milgram Mayer, Ph.D., National Catholic School of Social Service
Undergraduate preparation for social work is best accomplished within the framework of a liberal arts curriculum. Courses selected from the social and behavioral sciences (including psychology, sociology, politics, economics, anthropology, and history) and from biology comprise the broad knowledge base on which the more specialized courses in social work theory and practice draw. A series of courses specific to the field of social welfare and to the practice of social work is offered by the National Catholic School of Social Service to the student majoring in social work. Theory and practice courses include sustained field education experiences.
A major in social work is preparation for direct entry into practice at the first professional level. It may also serve as preparation for graduate professional social work education.
     Students interested in social work should communicate with the social work adviser as early as possible for advice or information concerning a program of study.
     For further information consult the Program in Social Work section of these Announcements.

Preprofessional Advising
Law
Prelegal education is mainly concerned with the development of
   1. comprehension and verbal expression,
   2. critical understanding of human institutions and the values with which the law deals, and
   3. creative power of thinking.
These goals have led the committee on Prelegal Education of the Association of American Law Schools to conclude that college education that emphasizes the development of these basic skills and insights is far more important than "mere education for later professional training and practice." This means that colleges serve the need of later legal training best by stressing the ends of liberal education. While, therefore, thorough learning in any wide cultural field will meet the above mentioned requirements, the special background acquired in one of the following areas of concentration may prove particularly helpful: economics, English, history, philosophy, politics, or sociology. For further information on preparing for law school, interested students may contact the undergraduate office of the School of Arts and Sciences or the Office of Career Services, which provides a thorough website on applying to law school:
http://careers.cua.edu/gradinfo/lawschool.cfm.

Library and Information Science
Preparation for practice in information fields usually requires a graduate degree, and for librarians the basic requirement is a master′s degree from a program accredited by the American Library Association. Although no specific academic background is required for graduate study in the field, CUA′s ALA-accredited M.S. in Library Science program seeks applicants with a broad background in the arts and sciences, plus depth in a major field. The ideal applicant is comfortable with information technology and able to communicate clearly and effectively both orally and in writing. Analytical and problem-solving abilities and an understanding of the research process in a specific discipline are also highly valued. For more information, contact the assistant dean of the School of Library and Information Science.

Premedical Advisory Committee:

Marion Ficke, M.S.......Premedical Coordinator and Assistant to the Chair, Department of Biology
Cynthia Brewer, Ph.D...Adjunct Assistant Professor of Chemistry
Alan Goodman, Ph.D............Director, Office of Career Services

Premedical Advising at The Catholic University of America includes students preparing for all of the medical fields noted above. The advisement is designed to provide the education, as well as the guidance, that will best enable students to pursue their goals as practitioners or medical researchers.

In accordance with the concept of undergraduate study at a liberal arts institution, there is no separate curriculum for premedical instruction. Students choose a major suited to their interests and talents. Most premedical students follow a program of concentration in biology, biochemistry, chemistry, medical technology, or psychology; however, the premedical student may choose from a wide range of liberal arts majors. Another option is biomedical engineering in the School of Engineering. The required premedical courses are incorporated into the requirements in certain of the science programs and are taken as electives in other areas of concentration. All of the undergraduate programs in the School of Arts and Sciences are designed to provide a well-balanced liberal education, strongly preferred for premedical students.

Students interested in Premedical Advising should communicate with the premedical coordinator. CUA also welcomes students who have earned degrees and are interested in pursuing premedical courses.

Forty credit-bearing courses of at least three semester hours each are required, with a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 for courses taken at this university. At least half the courses in a degree program must be taken at The Catholic University of America The number of transfer courses after matriculation at CUA is limited to two times the number of years in residence; this limit does not apply to courses brought in at the time of matriculation or to courses taken during CUA study abroad programs. In addition, no more than two courses per year may be transferred from summer terms at other institutions.

Normal course load and over-electing
The normal course load is five courses (three or more credits each) per semester. A student who earns a 3.0 semester grade-point average or has a 3.0 cumulative average may over-elect a sixth course in the following semester.

Distribution Requirements
For more detailed information on the seven categories summarized below, consult the Arts & Sciences Advising Handbook (available online at http://arts-sciences.cua.edu) or the undergraduate office of the School of Arts and Sciences.

1. Philosophy. Four courses, including PHIL 201 and 202 and one additional course in each of these two areas: Logic, Morality, and Action; and Nature Knowledge, and God. (For courses within each area, consult the Program in Philosophy section of these Announcements.)

2. Theology and Religious Studies. Four courses, including two at the 200 level (one course of which must be in Christian tradition, TRS 200-261, or 291 for students from non-Christian backgrounds), and at least one course at the 300 level or higher.

3. English Composition. One course, as determined by placement at matriculation, with grade of C- or higher.

4. Humanities. Three courses, at least two in the same department.

5. Language and Literature. Four courses: two courses at the intermediate level (usually 103-104) in an ancient or modern foreign language; and two courses in ancient or modern literature (including literature in English).

6. Mathematics and Natural Science. Four courses, including at least one in mathematics; at least two of the four must be in the same department.

7. Social and Behavioral Sciences. Four courses, at least two of which must be in the same department.

Twelve to fourteen courses. (No more than fourteen courses are permitted in the major department.) See departmental requirements in these Announcements. Each course in the major must be passed with a grade of C- or higher. Courses in the major simultaneously fulfill the distribution requirement in the area corresponding to that discipline.

Electives
Courses other than distribution and major requirements are free electives. A department may require, beyond specific courses in the major, as many as eight courses in a closely related and necessary secondary field; therefore, the number of electives will vary depending upon the student's major.

Pass-fail grading for free electives. Prior to the deadline published in the Class Schedule, free electives may be taken on a pass/fail basis. Approval of the associate or assistant dean is required to make this change. Neither pass nor fail for a course taken on this basis will affect the student′s cumulative average, but fail will earn no degree credit. Courses taken pass/fail may not be used to fulfill major, minor, or distribution requirements.

Senior Comprehensive Assessment
During the senior year, each undergraduate degree student must pass a Senior Comprehensive Assessment, designed and administered by the major department or program. The comprehensive assessment evaluates majors′ ability to synthesize the subject matter and methods of the discipline.

The departments of biology, business and economics, chemistry, mathematics, and physics, as well as the programs in biochemistry and medical technology, offer the degree Bachelor of Science. (The B.S. in Computer Science is offered by the School of Engineering.) Students pursuing this degree are required to take more courses in mathematics and science and, to compensate, have the number of free electives and distribution requirements reduced.

Each B.S. program is arranged differently, so students must consult the specific department involved for special requirements of the particular program.

A student whose cumulative grade-point average is below 2.0 is on academic probation. A student on academic probation may register for a maximum of four courses (of three or more credits each) and may not participate in extracurricular activities such as student government and intercollegiate athletics.

Any of the following is grounds for academic dismissal from the School of Arts and Sciences:

1. Failure to gain a 2.0 cumulative grade-point average after two semesters on academic probation.
2. Failure in three or more courses in any given semester.
3. At the end of the spring semester of any academic year, a cumulative grade-point average below 1.5.
4. Failure to gain acceptance into a program of concentration after the fourth semester of full-time college work (or after the semester in which the student completes his or her 17^th course).

A student on probation may not graduate until he or she has gained a 2.0 cumulative grade-point average.

A student in the School of Arts and Sciences may choose to complete one or more optional minors in fields outside the major department. (Majors in a foreign language may, however, minor in another foreign language.) Most minors consist of six courses, as specified by the appropriate department. Substitutions are generally not permitted and no course may be taken on a pass/fail basis. A maximum of two courses in a minor may be transferred from other institutions, provided that these courses are evaluated as equivalent to the courses specified in the minor. Information and applications are available in the undergraduate office, School of Arts and Sciences.

Anthropology is the study of human diversity from the Paleolithic to the present, how humans form and think about communities, make a living, impact the environment, communicate, express themselves in art, religion, language, and in practical activities. Anthropologists employ a global and comparative perspective to integrate different kinds of information about past and contemporary ways of life in the natural situations where people live or have lived, such as an archaeological site, a village, or an urban metropolis. The aim of this research is also to develop composite, empirically based account of human life and cultures. Students in anthropology acquire a broad perspective on social and cultural dimensions of diverse ways of life, including our own, and tools for integrating specialized knowledge into perspectives on global processes that shape our world.

Courses for anthropology majors leading to a B.A. include four courses in the foundational disciplines of cultural anthropology (101), archaeology (108), human biology and evolution (105), and linguistic anthropology (110); a pair of core courses on anthropological perspectives (200) and research design and conduct (201); five topical electives; and a Senior capstone that can be a seminar (451), internship/practicum (453), or independent research (493) directed by a faculty member. HSSS 101 may be substituted for ANTH 101; other courses in the HSSS sequence serve for social science distribution requirements or as free electives for majors. A joint B.A.–M.A. is available to qualified students.

The distribution requirements in the natural sciences may be fulfilled in part by ANTH 105, 108, 218, and 354.

The requirement in social sciences for non-anthropology majors may be fulfilled in part by ANTH 101, 110, 136, 200, 201, 202, 214, 215, 217, 220, 240, 250, 254, 259, 260, 270, 310, 313, 315, 320, 322, 334, 355, 366, 371, 390, 505, 506, 518, 541, and 590.

"Between the world of men and transcendent divinity there exists art. Art is the will to truth made physically manifest."

–Andre Malraux

The Department of Art is devoted to nurturing the production and understanding of artistic expression, one of the oldest, most vital, and most human of endeavors. The department offers programs in art history and studio art leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree. An interdisciplinary B.A. in studio art and secondary education is also offered in cooperation with the Department of Education. Together, these programs are dedicated to the proposition that art and culture are one, and that exposure to the visual arts is an essential component of every liberal education. Our goal of fostering a greater appreciation of the arts is especially fitting at The Catholic University of America, given both the historic tradition of brilliant art patronage by the Catholic Church, and the outstanding resources of Washington, D.C. Among the many nearby institutions that offer world-class art collections are the National Gallery of Art, the Smithsonian Institution, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, the Phillips Collection, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Library of Congress, Hillwood, and Dumbarton Oaks. Students in the department are encouraged to utilize these resources through study, institutional internships and sponsored research, whenever possible.

Through courses both within and outside the department, art majors are provided with a broad introduction to the humanities, as well as a sophisticated initiation into the practice, theory, and appreciation of the arts. The major in the studio art program takes two courses each in the fundamentals of design, drawing and composition, and art history, followed by a three-course sequence in painting, sculpture or digital arts, plus one additional studio art elective. Studio art majors are also required to take contemporary art history. The major in the art history program takes survey courses in the history of art and architecture, one studio course, and a selection of specialized courses from each of the following three periods: ancient and medieval, Renaissance and Baroque, modern and contemporary. Majors in both programs take the Senior Seminar. Studio Art majors also take the Junior Seminar. Art history majors take comprehensive examinations in their senior year. Studio art majors produce a creative project under the direction of an art faculty member to fulfill this requirement. Seniors in art history who qualify for honors have the opportunity to earn further distinction by writing a senior honors thesis under the supervision of their faculty adviser.

To be accepted as a major, an applicant for the program in Studio Art must have a B average in ART 101 and 102, 201 and 202, and 211 and 212. An applicant for the program in art history must have a B average in ART 211 and 212, and in one other art history course. Students who have not completed these courses by the end of their sophomore year may be accepted conditionally until the courses are completed.

Double majors (the B.A. in Art plus another disciplinary area) are encouraged and may be arranged through the Department of Art, the other department and the dean of the School of Arts and Sciences. Minors in studio art and art history are also available.

Please Note: Due to space restrictions, certain courses have limited enrollments. Students who wish to enroll in these courses (labeled "departmental approval required" [DA]) should contact the department office at the time of registration to receive permission to enroll.

B.A. with Major in Studio Art

Required art courses: ART 101, 102, 201, 202, 211, 212, 332, 353, 451, and any three courses in the following areas: painting, sculpture or digital arts; one course in one of the remaining two areas and one studio art elective.

B.A. with Major in Art History

Required art and art history courses: ART 211, 212, 332,451, and one course from each of the following three periods: Ancient and Medieval: ART 317, 318, Renaissance and Baroque: ART 319, 320, 321, 322, 327, 365, 368; Modern and Contemporary: ART 323, 324, 325, 326, 331, 334, 357, 367, 420; in addition, four electives to be drawn from the three categories of period courses above, or from other art history courses; and one of the following studio courses: ART 201, 202, 303 or 304.

Departmental Honors in Art History

Students with honors level grade point averages who wish to receive departmental honors in art history may apply to write a senior honors thesis by submitting a two-page proposal for their thesis (including a description of topic and an annotated bibliography). To qualify, these students first must have evidenced a superior performance in the major, as well as the ability to complete the proposed paper topic. The thesis proposal must also be approved by the student′s faculty adviser and one outside reader before the start of the student′s senior year. Progress in completing the Senior Honors thesis will be guided through the student′s enrollment in ART 481 (Senior Honors Tutorial). Awards will be given to thesis projects that successfully demonstrate a high degree of scholarly achievement and self-motivation.

The Department of Biology offers programs leading to the degrees Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology. Students may pursue the honors track in biology by selecting a research experience and advanced electives.

Undergraduate course offerings in the Department of Biology are intended to provide both majors and minors with current information necessary for the understanding of life processes and their bearing on contemporary problems and objectives. A major in biology or medical technology automatically fulfills requirements for most schools offering postgraduate studies in medicine, dentistry, or veterinary medicine, as well as for graduate studies in various disciplines within biology and related fields. Preparation for postgraduate employment in biological and biomedical research is available through selected offerings.

The distribution requirements in natural science may be fulfilled in part by BIOL 103 and 104. Certain other biology courses may be taken by a limited number of non-majors, with the permission of the instructor, to complete the requirement or for a minor in biology.

Prerequisites for a major in biology. BIOL 105, 106, 207, 210, 218; CHEM 103, 113, 104, 114, 203, 213, 204, 214; MATH 111, 112. Required.

All departmental courses must be completed with a grade of C- or better. A student may repeat only one of the three following courses: ECON 101, Principles of Macroeconomics; ECON 102, Principles of Microeconomics; and ACCT 305, Introductory Accounting. Other courses in the department may be repeated only once. Students must maintain a 2.3 grade-point average within the department.

A total of six courses in mathematics, computer science, and statistics are required for all programs in the department. MATH 111, Calculus for Social-Life Sciences I, is required for all students. Specific majors such as economics, finance, and MIS have additional math/computer science requirements. See the advising coordinator for details. All mathematics and computer science courses must be passed with at least a C-.

All students must pass a Senior Year Comprehensive Assessment administered twice a year, independently of any course. Students take this examination in their last year in residence at CUA, by which time they must have completed all core courses plus all required courses for their major.

The department also offers minor programs in the areas of economics, accounting, finance, management, and MIS. These programs are only open to nonmajors.

Students majoring in accounting who intend eventually to take the Certified Public Accounting (CPA) examination should be aware that the educational and experience requirements of boards of accountancy vary from state to state. In some states, the number of credit hours needed to sit for the exam exceeds the number of credit hours that a student would typically earn in an undergraduate program. It is the student′s responsibility to determine the requirements that must be met in his or her state to sit for the examination and to request changes in his or her program so as best to meet those requirements. The department maintains a current directory of the requirements for all states, territories, and the District of Columbia and can assist the student in meeting the requirements.

The goal of the Department of Drama is to offer opportunities for intellectual growth and cultural enrichment and for the development of imaginative, disciplined expression in the theater. It seeks to provide undergraduates with practical skills in their respective fields and a sound knowledge of the history and literature of the theater. The faculty is committed to providing both productions and academic programs of high quality, believing that each enriches the other.

The undergraduate program leads to a Bachelor of Arts degree, the goal of the Department of Drama being to offer study and training in the theater within the full curriculum of a liberal arts education. This program differs from conservatory type training.

The Bachelor of Arts program in drama consists of 10 required courses (101, 104, 201, 202, 206, 207, 305, 306, 312, 451) and four electives, chosen from among the other courses listed below. Students declaring an interest in majoring in drama must attend a required number of Theatre Labs and are required to take two courses in history and a course in Shakespeare among their distribution courses.

Students majoring in drama are required to earn 240 crew hours by working on approved department productions. A crew credit is earned by working satisfactorily for a minimum of 60 clock hours on one or more approved productions on set construction, costume construction, light, sound, property, running or house crews. Transfer students must earn one crew credit for each year in the drama program. Complete regulations are available from the Department of Drama.

A student must repeat any major course in which the grade awarded is below C-.

In sum, to graduate with a major in drama, the student must have completed 14 drama courses (10 required courses plus four drama electives) and have fulfilled his or her crew credits and theater lab requirements. To be admitted to the comprehensive examinations, students must have completed or be in the process of completing all required drama courses and crew credits. Comprehensives are normally taken in the second semester of the senior year.

The department offers a minor to students in other departments. The drama minor requires six courses: 101, 104, 206; two courses from 201, 202, or 305; one course from 207, 312, or 565.

Drama minors may follow a joint program in the Department of Education that leads to certification for teaching drama at the secondary level. This entails eleven required drama courses, three drama electives, and 21 hours of education courses. The latter includes a practice teaching segment, normally done in the first semester of the senior year. Early planning is important for this option.

The Department of Education, a scholarly community of faculty and students, shares in the general mission of The Catholic University of America. Through instruction, research and service, the department contributes to knowledge and practice in education and prepares graduates to assist in the academic, personal and social development of students. The department prepares teachers and other practitioners to work in Catholic, private, and public schools and other settings. It is the governing unit for the accredited education programs. The faculty of the Department of Education, the Benjamin T. Rome School of Music, and the School of Library and Information Science provide the professional education courses in early childhood, elementary, secondary and music education and school library media services. The Council on Teacher Education is the advisory board for the department.

The governing objectives of all teacher education programs are:

1. knowledge of educational goals and values and their social/historical roots;
2. competence in the content areas of specialization and in the other fields of knowledge pertinent to the individual program;
3. understanding of the social, emotional, intellectual, and physical needs of children;
4. skill in selecting and using appropriate teaching methods and instructional materials;
5. development of effective strategies for evaluating student learning and growth;
6. development of a reflective capacity for continual reappraisal of one's teaching philosophy, objectives, methods and materials.

Teacher education candidates are expected to have a thorough understanding of students, school context and subject matter, and the ability to make informed decisions about teaching issues. See the Teacher Education Handbook for further information.

Teacher Education Program

The overall purpose of teacher education at The Catholic University of America is to help candidates acquire the knowledge, skills, dispositions, and reflective qualities essential for the professional practice of teaching. By developing a reflective, problem-solving orientation toward teaching, graduates of this program are empowered to examine critically their own actions and the context of these actions for the purpose of a more deliberative mode of professional activity. The outcome should be self-directed teachers who use professional knowledge to actively, persistently, and carefully improve their practice.

A program of studies in education includes the basic general education and professional courses required by the certifying authorities of most states. It is designed to provide candidates with opportunities for study in the liberal arts and sciences, educational foundations, learning theories, and teaching methods with internship experiences across a four-year sequence. Attention is also given to curricular and instructional strategies for exceptional students and students in varied cultural settings, as well as to increased demand for technology integration.

The early childhood, elementary, and secondary education programs offer candidates the opportunity to acquire essential knowledge, skills, and dispositions for beginning teachers. Candidates who plan to teach children in preschool, kindergarten, or grades one through three should major in early childhood education. Candidates who plan to teach grades one through six should major in elementary education. Elementary education majors may choose to minor in a subject area such as history, math or science. Joint programs in secondary education are offered in art, drama, English, French, German, history, mathematics, and Spanish. Consult the Department of Education and the department in which you wish to specialize for information about specific programs. Students from other majors may also minor in early childhood and elementary education.

The B.A. programs in early childhood, elementary, and secondary education provide coursework leading to state teaching licenses. Completing a teacher preparation program does not automatically certify a teacher. A formal application to each state in which a candidate wants to be licensed has to be made and testing, such as the Praxis, may be required.

Students may minor in secondary education with an option to complete a one-year M.A. program in teacher education. Students may also pursue teaching certification in music education. (Contact the Benjamin T. Rome School of Music for further information.)

The Teacher Education Unit is accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) dating from 1975. The following programs have received national recognition by the specialty professional associations: early childhood education, elementary education, and most secondary education programs.

Early Childhood and Elementary Education

• General education requirements (philosophy, theology and religious studies, humanities, language/literature, behavioral/social sciences, math/natural sciences).
• A sequence of education courses (for early childhood: 590, 567-569; for elementary: 590-593) including a full-time, 14-week student teaching assignment during the senior year. Application to the director of teacher education must be made in the second week of the semester prior to student teaching. Candidates may not take more than one other course while student teaching.

Secondary Education

• General education requirements (philosophy, theology and religious studies, humanities, language/literature, behavioral/social sciences, math/natural sciences).
   
• An approved 10-course sequence (minimum) in a content area. See respective departments.
   
• A minimum of four education courses are required in an approved sequence: 251, 361, 586, and content methods. EDUC 582 Reading in the Content Areas is required for English and social studies majors and encouraged for all other candidates. Practicum experience is required with methods courses.
   
• A full-time, 14-week student teaching assignment (EDUC 597, 598, 599) occurs during the senior year. Application to the director of teacher education must be made in the second week of the semester prior to student teaching. Candidates may not take more than one other course while student teaching.

Initial Acceptance to the Teacher Education Program

• Completion of the Teacher Education Application and submission of essay by April 1 of the sophomore year.
   
• A 2.5 cumulative grade point average.
   
• A 2.75 GPA in the major. For secondary education candidates, the GPA is based on major requirements and any additional courses required for licensure.
   
• Two education faculty letters of recommendation (from sophomore level education faculty). For secondary education candidates, a letter of recommendation from the major department is required.
   
• A passing score on each part of the Praxis I tests in mathematics (177), reading (177), and writing (173) or a composite score of 527 &ndash with no score being lower than the individual score required by the District of Columbia.
   
• Successful completion of specified requirements such as key assessments and various assignments during field experiences (tutoring journals and observation papers).
   
• If almost all the admission requirements are met, the Teacher Education Committee may allow the candidate to enter the program on a provisional status for one semester. If the candidate does not meet all the requirements by the end of the provisional semester, the candidate will be denied admission.

Continuance or Application for Student Teaching

• A 2.5 cumulative grade point average and a 2.75 in the major in every semester. If the candidate's GPA drops below the established minimum of 2.5 cumulative and 2.75 in the major after admission to Teacher Education, the candidate will be placed on probation for one semester in which time the candidate must attain the required GPA's. Candidates cannot student teach without attaining the required GPAs. Also, approval to student teach is not automatically granted upon completion of academic requirements. If weaknesses or deficiencies are noted in subject matter knowledge, pedagogy, communications, interpersonal skills or dispositions, the director of teacher education may put the candidate on probation and require the candidate to take additional coursework, do an additional practicum or obtain personal counseling. Each candidate is allowed to have only one provisional and one probationary semester.
   
• Elementary and secondary education candidates must take PRAXIS II content test before student teaching.
   
• Successful completion of specified requirements such as key assessments and various assignments during field experiences (lesson plans, thematic unit, mini Action Research Project, and satisfactory grades in methods courses). A C- minimum is required for all education courses as well as general education/ distribution requirements to be eligible for a license.

Graduation

• A grade of at least C- in each course required for licensure. Successful completion of the Teacher Education program (i.e., education courses, courses in the major, and courses related to the major).
   
• Successful completion of specified requirements such as key assessments and various assignments during field experiences (Action Research Paper, student teaching evaluation).

Licensure

• Completion of Electronic Portfolio, EP. The EP is also presented to Education faculty.
   
• Completion of the District of Columbia Application for Licensure Form.
   
• Passing scores on both content and pedagogy PRAXIS II tests (#0012 Elementary Education: Content Area Exercises and #0014 Elementary Education: Content Knowledge). Secondary education candidates should see the Coordinator of Secondary Education for Praxis II requirements.

Transportation Responsibility

Transportation to and from agencies or schools used for practicum, field experiences, and student teaching is the personal responsibility of the candidate.

EDUCATION STUDIES PROGRAM

This program does not lead to a teaching license. Instead, it provides majors in Education Studies the skills they need for employment in a variety of settings. These settings include local, state or federal government education positions; industry and/or trade association education positions; or education positions in hospitals, museums, foundations, professional associations, or charitable organizations. This is the most flexible undergraduate major offered by the Department of Education at The Catholic University of America. Programs of study are designed by the candidate and the candidate′s adviser to satisfy the wants of the candidate, and his or her hopes for employment upon graduation.

The Education Studies Program informs majors who want to work with or for children in nonschool settings. It prepares majors to understand the ways schools function and to gain firsthand knowledge of how outside agencies may enhance or impede the work of schools. Candidates majoring in education studies gain knowledge enabling them to be informed citizens and parents who understand how to interact constructively with schools. Through its several foci, this program may also teach majors how to enter, manage, or begin businesses related to education; how to design educational products; or how to obtain employment in educationally related mass media, including public relations, advertising, or print journalism. Education Studies majors can also focus on education issues relevant to the workplace or the United States justice system or those of concern to special populations.

Each major's program must be approved by the coordinator of Education Studies; every program will contain at least one special focus. Advising about focus and course selection will take into consideration the candidate′s personal needs and career goals. Usually, candidates enroll in one or more semesters of practicum or internship that serves to draw together their coursework in a culminating experience that serves to acquaint the candidate with the real world of work.

In order to be accepted as an Education Studies major, candidates must have at least a 2.3 cumulative average and must apply to and be accepted by the School of Arts and Sciences with the approval of the Department of Education. Application forms for admission to this program are obtained from the department. Candidates whose grade point average falls below 2.0 may be dropped from this major.

The majorin the Department of English centers on the study of literature as the focal point of a liberal education. To encounter some of the best writing in English is to engage some of the most significant operations of the language itself, as well as to trace the development of traditions in thought and expression that link us to the past and guide us into the future. Core courses for the major provide extensive reading in the history of English and American literature, at least two literary genres (in the junior reading courses), and the work of a major author (in the senior seminar). The departmental faculty seeks to develop in the student a progressively more differentiated sense of literary history, a more discriminating sense of literary value, and a more sophisticated understanding of the cultural and social roles of literature. At the same time they strive to make students aware that literature, while a strenuous test for the intellect, is also a deeply satisfying, lasting source of enjoyment.

Increased sensitivity to literature is inevitably accompanied by increased sensitivity to language. To bring students maximum benefit from this reciprocal growth, the department systematically cultivates their powers of written expression. Writing and learning, language and thought, are linked not only in courses explicitly devoted to composition and rhetoric but also in the core literature courses required of all English majors, where the essay becomes a principal means for exploring and developing ideas.

Besides a mind well nurtured and well informed, the English major can expect to leave college with distinct advantages in approaching a career. Those most directly related to the undergraduate study of English include teaching at the secondary level or (after graduate study) the college and university levels and work in fields such as editing, publishing or writing. But because a broad cultural background and a command of clearly conceptualized, well-written prose are increasingly valued as preparation for advanced professional studies–as, for example, those in law or business–and indeed for the professions themselves, the study of English is a promising point of entry to a variety of careers.

Required. 231 and 232; two courses from the group 331, 332, and 333; 351 or 352; 431 and 432; 461 or 462; and four other upper-division courses in English or American language and literature. Besides courses in English and American language and literature numbered 300 and above, two of the following courses carrying lower numbers may be used to fulfill part of the requirement for "four upper-division courses": ENG 235 and 236 (American Literature) and HSHU 102, 203, and 204 (University Honors). One upper-division course in writing (e.g., ENG 301, 302, 326, 327) may be included among the courses for the major. ENG 331, 332, 333, 431, and 432 are open only to English major.

For acceptance as an English major by the junior year, a minimum average of 2.5 is required in 231 and 232. Majors who have received a grade of C or lower in a 100-level writing course (101, 103, 105) are required to include among their upper-division English offerings a course in expository or argumentative writing (326 or 327).

English majors are required to pass a comprehensive examination given in the second (spring) semester of senior year. Details are available from the undergraduate adviser.

Six courses are required for a minor in English: 231, 232, and four other courses at the level of 300 or above, no more than one of which may be in writing; 235 and 236 may be counted among the four other courses.

An interdisciplinary minor in rhetoric and writing is offered for students whose concentration is outside the Department of English. For details see Dr. Stephen McKenna, Department of Media Studies.

In collaboration with the Department of Education, English majors may follow a joint program in secondary education as preparation for teaching English at the high school level. English majors who wish to avail themselves of this choice should consult the undergraduate advisers for both departments as soon as possible in their undergraduate careers, so as to ensure that they leave room in their schedules for all the required courses in both fields. Special attention should be paid to the regulations of the two departments where courses in writing are concerned. See also the Department of Education section of these Announcements.

The Thomas O′Hagan Prize of $100 is offered for the best poem written by an undergraduate in a competition held during the second semester of each academic year. Details on this prize are available from the Department of English.

The field of classics comprises the whole of ancient Greek and Roman civilization, a period of more than a thousand years, and of supreme importance and enduring fascination for the modern world. Emulated and exploited in innumerable ways over the centuries, Greco-Roman culture is considered the most significant formative influence in the development of Western civilization. "The study of that distant but not completely alien world can allow us to understand that there are alternatives to our own ways and assumptions, and so it can help to liberate us from the tyranny of the present" (Jasper Griffin, The Oxford History of the Classical World).

The Department of Greek and Latin provides students with opportunities to study the world of antiquity and to acquire a broad perspective for understanding the formative Greek and Roman era within the context of Western civilization. It offers courses in Greek and Latin language and literature and in various aspects of classical culture. Students are encouraged to pursue an interdisciplinary approach and to cross the limits of traditional subjects. In their search for an intimate understanding of the ancient Greeks and Romans and their society, specialists will wish to read and study what they wrote as they wrote it. But students who are interested in Western culture and its foundations in the classical world are encouraged to avail themselves of those departmental courses that do not presuppose or require knowledge of either Greek or Latin. These "nonlanguage" courses, listed below under the rubric "Classics," make use of modern translations of basic writings and documents to permit nonmajors to study classical literature, mythology, history, arts, and culture.

A classical education has always been highly esteemed, and is frequently recommended to those who intend to pursue careers in any of the professions or to proceed to graduate school. The department's programs have been designed not only to provide an excellent preparation for a professional career, but also to meet the needs of students who wish to work toward graduate degrees in the field of classical studies. They value their practical mastery of one or both of the world's most influential languages and literatures, as well as the habits of firm, critical judgment, precise, and articulate expression, and intelligent, responsible reflection that derive from the careful and dedicated study of the sources of our Western literary, philosophical, and artistic civilization.

Major Programs

Classics (Greek and Latin)

This major emphasizes competence in both ancient languages. It consists of six or seven courses in Greek, six or seven in Latin, and four in ancient history and art history, and requires in the senior year a thesis and translation examinations in both languages based on a reading list of selected primary works.

Prerequisities. Elementary Greek (GR 101-102) and Latin (LAT 101-102) or the equivalent.

Required. Intermediate Greek (GR 103-104) or two Greek electives beyond 104, Greek 465 (Senior Seminar), GR 511 (Greek Prose Composition), and two other courses in Greek authors; Intermediate Latin (LAT 103-104) or two Latin electives beyond 104, LAT 465 (Senior Seminar), LAT 511 (Latin Prose Composition), and two other courses in Latin authors; one Greek or Latin elective; CLAS 205-206 (History of the Ancient Mediterranean I and II), CLAS 317-318 (Greek and Roman Art and Architecture), CLAS 425 (Senior Tutorial), and CLAS 426 (Senior Thesis).

Latin and Classical Humanities

This major requires competence in Latin and selected areas of classical civilization, as well as a senior thesis and a translation examination based on a reading list of selected primary works.

Prerequisite. Elementary Latin (LAT 101-102).

Required. Intermediate Latin (LAT 103-104) or two Latin electives beyond 104, LAT 465 (Senior Seminar), LAT 511 (Latin Prose Composition), and three courses in Latin authors; CLAS 205-206 (History of the Ancient Mediterranean I and II), CLAS 211 (Greek and Roman Mythology), CLAS 312 (Greek Literature in Translation), CLAS 317-318 (Greek and Roman Art and Architecture), CLAS 425 (Senior Tutorial), and CLAS 426 (Senior Thesis). Students who wish to teach Latin and Classical Antiquity at the high school level may complete this major, CLAS 531 (The Teaching of the Classics), and the remaining five courses that constitute the minor in Secondary Education offered by the Department of Education.

Classical Civilization

This major makes the systematic study of classical civilization accessible to students who do not wish to major in the Greek and/or Latin languages. It is an interdisciplinary program that focuses on the history, thought, and culture of the ancient Mediterranean world from the Bronze Age to the rise of Islam. The program requires students to examine the ancient Mediterranean from a variety of perspectives: literary, historical, and art historical. By studying the cultures of Greece and Rome from diverse points of view, students will be able to place these in wider geographical, sociological, ethnographic, and cultural contexts. This major thus offers students the opportunity to examine in their totality civilizations that are not only intrinsically interesting, but have left an indelible imprint on the modern world.

Prerequisities. None. Majors are strongly encouraged to fulfill their language requirement in Greek or Latin and to take Greek or Latin courses beyond the 102 level, but they are not required to do so.

Required. The program begins with seven required core courses in ancient history (CLAS 205, 206), classical literature in translation (CLAS 312, 313), Greek and Roman art and architecture (CLAS 317, 318), and classical mythology (CLAS 211), plus CLAS 425-426 (Senior Tutorial and Senior Thesis). The four remaining courses may be chosen from among the "Classics" offerings of the department and, with approval, from courses offered by other departments. Up to three of these four courses may be approved Greek and/or Latin courses beyond the 102 level. A final written examination on classical literature and history and a senior thesis are required.

Minor Programs

1. Minor in Greek: GR 103, 104; four other courses in Greek beyond the 104 level.
    
2. Minor in Latin: LAT 103, 104; four other courses in Latin beyond the 104 level.
    
3. Minor in Classical Civilization: Any six approved courses chosen from among the "Classics" courses of the department; one or two Greek and/or Latin courses beyond the 102 level may be substituted for one or two of the classics courses.

Foreign Language Requirement

The foreign language requirement for degrees in the School of Arts & Sciences may be fulfilled by satisfactorily completing the intermediate level (103-104) in Greek or Latin. Depending on placement, elementary-level language courses may be required to reach the intermediate level. Elementary language courses are numbered 101 and 102 and count as free electives only. GR 509 and LAT 509 are 6-credit accelerated equivalents to 101-102 that can serve as prerequisites to the 103 level in each language; GR 509 and LAT 509 are open by departmental permission and, as elementary-level courses, do not fulfill the foreign language requirement and count as free electives. In addition to placement, a prerequisite for 102, 103, and 104 is a minimum grade of C- in the previous course in the sequence.

Courses Offered

Please consult the Web site http://cardinalstation.cua.edu for descriptions of courses offered in the current semester.

Courses listed under the rubric "Classics" do not presuppose or require knowledge of either the Greek or Latin language. All may be used to satisfy the humanities requirement for the B.A. degree. CLAS 205, 206, 572, and other courses in ancient history also may be used to satisfy the social science requirement. CLAS 211, 312, 313, and other Greek and Roman literature courses in translation may be used to satisfy either the literature or the humanities requirement. For prerequisites, consult the department chair.

At every level of education today, teachers are under pressure to help students improve their understanding of modern society and their place within it and to deepen a sense of values. As M. Bloch observed, historians have always sought to provide their students and readers of history with a perspective on the development of the modern world. The serious problems of contemporary urban societies and of advanced or underdeveloped countries have led to a heightened study of history with a focus on elements of continuity, change and revolution, with their effects on the lives of nations and their international relations.

A major in history provides a useful preparation for careers in government service, business, journalism, law, library science, the ministry, and politics. The course offerings are geared to meet the needs and stimulate the interests of specialists and nonspecialists. With the exceptions noted, no prerequisites are demanded for admission to undergraduate courses.

The fields offered are Middle Ages, Modern Europe, United States, and Latin America. A grade average of 2.5 in the required 200 level surveys is necessary for acceptance into the major. A major who intends to pursue history as a profession is urged to acquire competence in the foreign language(s) necessary to the chosen field: for example, Latin for medieval, French or German for modern Europe, Spanish or Portuguese for Latin America. The B.A./M.A. program is available to qualified students.

In collaboration with the Department of Education, history majors may follow a joint program in social studies/secondary education to prepare themselves to teach history at the high school level. History majors who wish to enter this program should consult the undergraduate advisers in both departments as soon as possible in their undergraduate studies, in order to make room in their schedules for all the required courses in both fields. See also the Department of Education section of these Announcements.

Major program

The history major requires a minimum of 11 courses in history. These include five core courses, which must ordinarily be taken in this order: two 200 level surveys (ideally taken in the freshman year); HIST 387 and 388 (Junior Seminar, in the junior year); and HIST 401 (Senior Thesis Seminar, in the first semester of the senior year).

In addition, every history major must take a minimum of six more elective courses in history. These six courses must be chosen according to the following rules. No more than four of the six courses can be in the same area of history (that is, United States, Latin America, medieval Europe, or modern Europe). At least two of the six courses must deal with "pre-modern" periods of history (before the era of the French Revolution for European history, before the era of the American Revolution for U.S. history, before the era of nationalist revolutions for Latin American history). The six courses should ordinarily be taken at the 300 level, but the department offers survey courses at the 200 level and history majors may count a maximum of two 200 level courses (in addition to the two required core surveys) among the six electives within the major.

Mathematics is the language of science and is an essential part of work done in the natural sciences, engineering, economics, and other areas. Since ancient times, and in many civilizations, mathematics has been central in human thought and critical to many aspects of intellectual development and progress. The Department of Mathematics offers courses and degree programs reflecting mathematics′ place and various roles in modern civilization.

For students majoring in the humanities or the social sciences, the department offers MATH 168, 187, 110, 111, 112, and 114; 111 is a prerequisite for 112.

For students in the natural sciences, engineering, or mathematics (and any student with an interest in and aptitude for mathematics), the department offers a sequence in calculus and differential equations: MATH 121, 122, 221, and 222.

Upon entering the university, all students whose major programs require calculus or precalculus must take a Mathematics Placement Test, which helps determine placement relative to the two calculus choices, MATH 111 and 121. Students who aim to take calculus but need additional preparation take either MATH 108 or 110 before calculus. (MATH 110 is open only to students majoring in Business and Economics).

There is a specific web page for mathematics placement.

Students who have prior coursework in calculus may obtain advanced placement in calculus determined in consultation with the department. Students who have scored sufficiently high on the AB or BC Advanced Placement Test in Calculus should inquire about receiving course credit for MATH 121-122.

Mathematics Department web page 

Degree Programs

The department offers four undergraduate degree programs: a B.A. in mathematics, a B.S. in mathematics, a B.S. in mathematics/secondary education, and a B.S. in mathematics/physics. Depending on their emphasis, the programs prepare students for graduate studies, for work in industry, or for teaching. Students interested in graduate studies in mathematics should consider taking MATH 520, 522, and 551. Students interested in applications of mathematics should also consider choosing from MATH 507, 515, 516, 527, 528, 531, 532, 533, 537, 540, 541, 561, 562, and 584. Students interested in industrial or applied mathematics careers should consider taking 531, 532, 537, 540, 561, and 562.

All mathematics degree programs require MATH 121, 122, 221, 222, and 305 (or placement out of these courses) and PHYS 215 and 216. Students are encouraged to include courses from mathematically related disciplines in addition to PHYS 215 and 216. Freshmen and sophomores who have obtained a 2.5 or better grade point average in 121, 122, 221, and 222 will be accepted into the program. An average of at least 2.0 in the upper-level (500 and above) courses is required for graduation.

The requirements are two courses in calculus (ordinarily MATH 121 and 122), MATH 305, and three other courses in mathematics (other than 108, 110, 168, 187, and 114) of which two must be at the 500-level. Other courses with sufficient mathematical content and level may be accepted. For those, the approval of the Department of Mathematics is required.

The following is a list of some disciplines and the mathematics courses (after MATH 121 and 122) relevant to them:

Television, cinema, newspapers and the Internet all profoundly influence our lives. The Department of Media Studies provides students with tools to analyze critically the forms and contents of mass media. An interdisciplinary field, media studies at Catholic University is rooted in traditions of rhetorical and historical criticism across the humanities.

Core courses promote understanding of film, television and related media in their varied aesthetic, social, historical, and cultural contexts. After completing the core, majors choose either the critical studies emphasis (beginning their electives with a course in cinema studies) or the production emphasis (beginning their electives with a course in video production). Students emphasizing their elective courses in either area may still take electives in both.  Majors in the program also have opportunities to gain professional experience through internships. With its liberal arts commitment, the department emphasizes writing and critical thinking skills. By requiring rigorous study of the humanities while providing access to state-of-the-art digital production equipment, the program engages students as both critics and creators. Students learn how to read cultural texts critically, partly by gaining firsthand knowledge of how such texts are produced. CUA students develop a relationship to mass media that is both aware and socially responsible, one that prepares them for a wide variety of careers in fields as diverse as film and video, broadcasting, journalism, public relations, advertising, law, or teaching and scholarship in the humanities.

Majors take MDIA 201, 202, 303, 304, 401, 499, a critical studies or production elective-anchor course, and six additional courses. See the adviser for specific information. To be accepted as a major, a student must complete both MDIA 201 and 202 with a C+ average.

Suggested Sequence of Courses

Freshman	MDIA 201, 202
Sophomore	MDIA 303,401
Junior	MDIA 304, MDIA344 or 402, electives in critical studies or production, and an internship

Program Director: Barbara J. Howard, Biology

The university offers a four-year curriculum leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in medical technology. The curriculum for the B.S. program is as follows:

First Year. BIOL 105, 106; MATH 111, 112; CHEM 103, 104, 113, 114; ENG 101; PHIL 201, 202; one language course (intermediate level).

Second Year. BIOL 207; CHEM 203, 204, 213, 214; PHYS 205, 206, 225, 226; one 200 level TRS; one religion elective; one language course (intermediate level); two literature electives.

Third Year. BIOL 518, 549, 554, 566; two social behavioral science electives; one philosophy elective; one religion elective; one humanities elective; one computer science elective.

Fourth Year. Twelve months of clinical studies including a series of courses and supervised hospital laboratory rotations in clinical chemistry, hematology, immuno-hematology, and microbiology.

Year of Clinical Studies. The fourth year or year of clinical studies is spent at Washington Hospital Center. Because the number of positions at this affiliate is limited, the following criteria are used to evaluate admission into the fourth year: a minimum grade-point average of 2.5 overall and in the sciences, minimum TOEFL score of 500 (if applicable), three letters of recommendation and an interview. Students in the B.S. program who do not meet the minimum academic standards for admission into the clinical year but do meet those required by biology may elect to complete a baccalaureate degree in biology with some additional coursework.

The specific requirements for academic good standing in the clinical year differ from those of the university and are available from: Program Director, Room 111, McCort-Ward Biology Building, The Catholic University of America. In addition to the course requirements, students must successfully complete a comprehensive examination. Students who successfully complete the Bachelor of Science program are eligible to take any of the medical technology certifying examinations.

Students following this program fulfill the course requirements for entrance into Class A medical schools.

Program Director: to be announced

Major Program

The university's Center for Medieval and Byzantine studies offers an interdisciplinary undergraduate major. Majors in this program must qualify for the University Honors Program. The major consists of the following:

1. HSHU 101, Jesus to Muhammad; and HSHU 102, Charlemagne to Chaucer.
    
2. A minor field (five approved courses) in one area of medieval studies—history, literature, philosophy, art, and architecture, or another area approved by the director.
    
3. Five additional courses relevant to medieval studies and selected to enhance the interdisciplinary nature of the major program.
    
4. Two senior seminars, MDST 451 and 452. In the fall semester the seminar includes participation in MDST 601, Introduction to Medieval Studies, as well as a final examination and preliminary work toward a senior thesis. (Preliminary thesis work includes an annotated bibliography and a 10-to-15-page preliminary draft.)

In addition to these requirements, majors should observe the following guidelines for fulfilling distribution requirements in arts and sciences:

1. The foreign language requirement must be fulfilled by Latin. Substitution of Greek is permitted for those seeking a focus on Byzantine culture.
    
2. The humanities requirement must include HSHU 101 and 102.
    
3. The course in Philosophy, Area II, may be fulfilled by PHIL 354, History of Medieval Philosophy.
    
4. Majors should include some courses in Theology and Religious Studies relevant to medieval theology or religion.

Majors should consult the advising coordinator for course selection and the sequence of courses.

Minor Program

Six courses in medieval or Byzantine studies, which may include HSHU 101 and 102. At least two, but no more than three, of these courses may be in the same department. Students are encouraged to fulfill language requirements in Latin or another pertinent language. For additional information, consult the program director.

The Department of Modern Languages and Literatures offers Bachelor of Arts majors in the following fields: French, German, Spanish, Spanish for International Services, and a joint degree combining French, German, or Spanish with Secondary Education. In addition to the three major language specializations, the Department offers courses in Italian, which may lead to a minor in Italian Studies.

Undergraduate programs in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures stress both practical and humanistic goals. A series of graduated language courses permits acquisition of oral, aural, and written mastery of a foreign language. A comprehensive program of courses in literature and civilization, ranging from introductory surveys through period and genre offerings to seminars treating individual major authors, provides the experience of another culture and of its modes of thought and expression.

The Department provides its graduates with both specific skills and competence and a sense of the relationship between their particular discipline and other liberal arts. Majors learn to express themselves clearly and correctly through required advanced language courses (200 through 400 level). They acquire a general knowledge of the literature as a whole in survey courses and a deeper knowledge of special areas in the courses that follow, including a number of 500-level electives. The final course taken by the major, the senior seminar, coordinates all knowledge and skills acquired.

Students may choose to develop a minor in French, German, Italian, or Spanish. Consult the individual language programs below for further details.

For students not majoring in languages, distribution requirements in literature as well as in humanities, as outlined under B.A. degree requirements, may be fulfilled by a number of courses offered by the Department.

Foreign Language Requirement

The foreign language requirement for degrees in the School of Arts and Sciences may be fulfilled by satisfactorily completing the intermediate level (103–104) in French, German, Italian, or Spanish. Spanish 113 (6 credits) is an accelerated intermediate-level equivalent to 103–104, open by departmental permission only to highly-qualified students. In addition to placement, a prerequisite for 102, 103, 113, and 104 is a minimum grade of C- in the previous course in the sequence.

Depending on placement, elementary-level language courses may be required to reach the intermediate level. Elementary language courses are numbered 101 and 102; the four-credit French or Spanish 112 is an accelerated elementary-level equivalent to 101-102, open by placement to students with some previous experience of the language. Except for certain majors in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures, elementary language courses 101, 102, and 112 count as free electives only.

Placement Examination

Any entering student who wishes to take courses in a language in which he or she has completed two years or more of high school study is required to take a placement examination and will not receive any CUA credit for courses in that language without placement. The resulting placement will be valid up to one semester after the date of the examination. See the Department's website for more information.

Education Abroad Programs

The Department recommends that majors spend at least a semester in a country in which the language is spoken in order to increase their language proficiency and to broaden their cultural horizons.

Any CUA undergraduate student may apply for our education abroad programs. Priority will be given, first, to majors in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures and, second, to minors in the Department. The education abroad semester programs are designed for second-semester sophomores and above, although the Department recommends study in the junior year. To qualify, the applicant must comply with the following two minimum requirements:

1.  Have completed the 203-204 language sequence or have the equivalent language proficiency. A few programs accept students for beginning and intermediate language studies or cultural studies in English.

2.  Have a current minimum GPA of 3.0 in courses taken in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures and an overall minimum GPA of 2.8.

CUA students must have the approval of (1) the undergraduate advisor of the language program; and (2) CUAbroad.

Applicants from other universities should contact CUAbroad directly.
