MAJOR REQUIREMENTS, TIME RESTRICTIONS Coursework requirements in major programs necessarily change in response to evolving curriculum concerns and changing student needs. Students' major requirements are governed by the Bulletin in force at the time of the declaration of the major. The declaration of major is initiated with the chair of the respective department. At the discretion of the department chair, students may be required to demonstrate proficiency and/or currency in the subject matter if the major coursework is older than five (5) academic years. Normally, credit hours earned in the major may not be applied to the completion of the major if the hours earned are older than eight (8) years, dated from the student's initial matriculation. Students who have been out of school longer than two (2) years must again declare their majors. INDEPENDENT STUDY IN THE MAJOR In certain majors, independent study courses are offered. These courses are limited to upper-class major and minor students who have completed at least two-thirds of their particular major or minor program, and who wish to pursue a special problem or course of reading beyond that taken up in any formal course and lying within the capabilities of the library and laboratories. In order to be eligible for independent study, the student must have at least a 3.0 average in major courses. Total credit which can be earned through independent study normally will not be more than six (6) semester hours. Written permission to enroll in such a course must be obtained from the instructor, the chair of the department concerned, and the Provost. A descriptive syllabus (including the method of evaluation) must be submitted with the petition. ASSESSMENT IN THE MAJOR The faculty members who are responsible for instruction in the major programs have identified specific objectives for a major in that discipline. There is an assessment (devised by the faculty in the discipline) that determines the extent to which the objectives have been met by the student. That assessment is a requirement for students who graduated in June 1990, or who will graduate thereafter. The assessment styles are varied. Students should carefully explore with their adviser in their intended major the nature of the assessment. A satisfactory assessment in the major is a requirement for the degree. The chair of the department offering the major must certify satisfactory completion of the assessment component. Students who fail to complete satisfactorily the assessment in the major and exhaust reassessment opportunities at the departmental level may appeal the decision of the department as described in the Academic Procedures and Regulations section. ADVICE AND COUNSELING IN THE MAJOR All students are assigned an academic adviser. Prior to the declaration of a major, a student is advised by a member of the faculty in a discipline related to the student‘s area of interest. Subsequent to declaring a major, the student and the department chair work together in planning a program. Selecting the proper courses in order to complete the desired degree is the responsibility of the student. 76
MINORS Academic minors may be earned in most departments. A minor must include at least 12 semester hours, 6 of which must be in 3000-level or above courses. Some departments do not designate the courses required for the minor, but the courses selected must be approved by the chair of that department. PRE-PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS OF STUDY <strong>LaGrange</strong> <strong>College</strong> has a curriculum and environment that is well suited to preparation for further study in fields such as medicine and engineering. These programs include, but are not necessarily limited to, preparation for the following areas. PRE-HEALTH PROFESSIONS For the pre-health professions (Dentistry, Medicine, Physician Assistant, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy, and Veterinary Medicine), the advising team is chaired by Dr. Nickie Cauthen and is composed of Dr. Cauthen, Dr. Sarah Beth Mallory, and Dr. Melinda Pomeroy-Black. Students who plan to major in biology and are interested in one of these professions should consult with Dr. Cauthen for assignment to one of the team members. Students in other majors who are interested in these professions should consult their primary advisers for access to the advising team. DENTISTRY Students should consult frequently with their advising team member in addition to their primary advisors for their majors. The pre-dental student should select a major as early as possible and work toward the B.S. degree. The pre-dental student should be familiar with the specific requirements set by the dental schools to which he or she plans to apply. There is some variation in the requirements of the various schools, but the minimum requirements set by most schools of dentistry are: English Biology with Lab Physics with Lab Inorganic (General) Chemistry with Lab Organic Chemistry with Lab Biochemistry 6 semester hours 8 semester hours 4 to 8 semester hours 8 semester hours 8 semester hours 4 semester hours All applicants must complete the Dental Admission Test not later than the October 31 testing preceding the year of desired entry. Dental schools also expect at least 50 hours of experience in the dental field, preferably with a single dentist. The student should keep records of dates, duration, and type of experience when involved in shadowing, volunteer, or paid work. 77
