University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (Chickasha, OK) - business

 


business 

USAO’s Bachelor of Science degree in business combines the practical procedure of the discipline with the people-oriented aspect of the liberal 
arts. 

Business students find an emphasis on effective evaluation of factual information, working efficiently with others, the promotion of moral and ethical values within the business community as well as sound and creative decision making. 
Business majors have a 33-hour business core designed to ensure student success in the business field. In addition, students have the flexibility of tailoring their program through an additional 15 hours in business elective courses to earn an emphasis in accounting, business administration or management. 
Emphasis in accounting provides students with a knowledge of the theory and practice of accounting and the skills necessary to stay abreast of continuing developments in their field.

Additionally, students are encouraged to recognize the importance of professional ethics, personal responsibility and the continuing development of leadership skills.

University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (Chickasha, OK) - speech-language pathology

 

Speech Language Pathology

USAO offers a bachelor of science degree with a major in speech-language pathology. The undergraduate program is designed for persons wishing to pursue graduate study in speech-language pathology and audiology, 
but also offers an avenue for students interested in pursuing graduate degrees in other health professions, law, psychology, special education or gerontology.

A master’s degree is necessary for professional certification as a speech-language pathologist. There are five graduate programs in speech-language pathology in Oklahoma. 

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) is the national scientific, professional, and credentialing association for speech-language pathologists.

Attainment of the bachelor of science degree in speech-language pathology from USAO provides students with a broad base of knowledge and prepares them well for graduate school and future work in the profession.

Career opportunities for persons with a bachelor’s degree in speech-language pathology are comparable to those for students with undergraduate degrees in related fields, such as psychology, sociology, linguistics, or liberal arts.

University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (Chickasha, OK) - Elementary Education

 

Elementary Education

This degree program combines liberal arts learning with teacher preparation. Its goal is to prepare individuals to become effective teachers in the elementary grades and obtain an Oklahoma Teaching Certificate in elementary education.

The program is a standards-based program, based upon the guidelines set forth by the Association for Childhood Education International (ACEI), NCATE program standards for elementary teacher preparation,

Oklahoma state competencies, and the findings from “Effective Teacher” research. Collectively, these standards and research findings provide the knowledge base for what elementary teachers should know and do.

Individuals successfully completing this program are qualified to obtain an Oklahoma teaching certificate to teach in grades 1-8.

However, most seventh-eighth grade situations require additional certification in a major subject area, such as middle school science, mathematics, English, or social studies.

University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (Chickasha, OK) - physical education

 

physical education

The physical education program enriches the life of each student by providing knowledge concerning good health practices, efficient use of body mechanics to meet the demands of a lifetime and the sharpening of skills necessary for participation in physical activities throughout life.

A student can obtain a bachelor of science degree in physical education with or without teacher education certification.
A coaching emphasis is available also for students who desire to coach interscholastic sports.

The majority of graduates with a major in physical education pursue an elementary school or secondary teaching career and are often asked to coach a sport in a co-curricular activity program. 

Many go to graduate school enabling them to specialize in fields such as exercise physiology, sports administration or public and private health/activity management. Other graduates will go into businesses related to their major preparation.

University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (Chickasha, OK) - communication skills

 

communication skills 

Most people are born with the ability to acquire good communication skills and the communication program can help students realize their full potential.
Communication, by its very nature,
is interdisciplinary, requiring a broad understanding of human behavior; an awareness of the vast diversity, as well as the strong similarities,
among humans and human cultures;
the global nature of how humans are connected to each other; and the critical need to communicate accurately and ethically.
The goal of the USAO communication program is to teach students how to increase shared understanding-- whether interpersonally, in small groups, in a public forum, or among millions through the mass media. 

Rather than the narrow view of a specialist, today’s communication graduate must develop a broad perspective that allows him or her to create effective messages in oral, written, and visual form. This is the focus of the USAO program as students learn how, why, and with what effects humans communicate.

University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (Chickasha, OK) - Art Bachelor Fine Arts

 

Art Bachelor Fine Arts

University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (Chickasha, OK) - Physics

 


Physics 

Physics is the study of nature, from subatomic particles to the grand scale of the universe. USAO’s physics curriculum provides the student with a solid foundation in the major disciplines of physics. In addition, the physics major acquires strong problem solving abilities, critical thinking skills, laboratory and computational savvy and a mathematical dexterity which allows graduates to pursue a variety of careers upon graduation or continue on to graduate or professional school. 


A bachelor of science degree in physics is not only an outstanding preparatory degree for graduate work in physics or engineering but, in many cases, qualfies the graduate for entry-level engineering jobs. The physics major consistently ranks near the top of starting salaries for new graduates.



Physics has laid the groundwork for many advanced industries including computers, telecommunications, aerospace, lasers, and medical diagnostics. Physicists investigate many of the latest discoveries such as massive neutrinos, blue semiconductor lasers, high temperature superconductors, black holes, and our expanding universe.

Carleton College (Northfield, MN) - Cinema and Media Studies (CAMS)

 


Cinema and Media Studies (CAMS)

The Cinema and Media Studies (CAMS) major combines the critical study of film, visual and sound media with digital media production, reflecting a liberal arts philosophy in which critical and creative thinking and making are mutually informing. Curricular emphasis is in three areas: cinema studies and production (film analysis, history, theory and production), visual studies and production (visual theory, digital photography production and history, site-specific media and projection installations) and sound studies and production (sound history, theory, production and design). We avoid thinking of these areas of emphasis as "tracks." The integration of theory and practice is a guiding principal in the formulation of the curriculum. The core curriculum is designed to require students to enroll in courses in two of the three areas of emphasis (cinema-visual-sound studies and production), and students are strongly encouraged to branch out across all three.
Requirements for a Major

Seventy-two credits are required for the major; forty-eight credits in core courses and twenty-four credits in elective courses. We ask students to pursue a common path through a core curriculum while also encouraging them to pursue their interests by choosing electives from a rich array of departmental and extra-departmental course offerings. In the core curriculum, beyond the two introductory courses, majors are required to take one additional 200-level studio production class, two courses in film, photography or art history (one of which must be film history) and two of the 300-level theory seminars (cinema studies seminar, visual studies seminar, sound studies seminar). In addition to the core curriculum, students are required to take four elective courses. In the senior-year comps project, students are asked to synthesize and further their work in the curriculum.

Carleton College (Northfield, MN) - Latin American Studies (LTAM)

 

Latin American Studies (LTAM)


The Latin American Studies Program provides a framework for studying the diverse societies of Latin America. With its cultural mosaic shaped by the meeting of Native American, European, African, and Asian peoples,
 and its profound geographic, social, and economic variations, Latin America presents rich opportunities for interdisciplinary and cross-cultural study. By drawing upon the perspectives and methodologies of several disciplines, students are challenged to pursue a deeper understanding of the cultures, institutions, and experiences of Latin Americans. The program provides a forum for examining the intersection of issues of politics, economic development, ethnicity, gender, religion, and cultural expression.



Students interested in exploring Latin American Studies as a possible major are strongly encouraged to enroll in at least one of several gateway courses early in their career at Carleton. Those designated courses are: History 170 Modern Latin America, 1810-present, Political Science 221 Latin American Politics, Sociology/Anthropology 250 Ethnography of Latin America, and Spanish 242 Introduction to Latin American Literature.



Requirements for a Major



Students complete a minimum of sixty-six credits in approved courses for the major. Majors must also demonstrate competence in Spanish by completing Spanish 205 or equivalent.



Required Courses: (The following core courses are required of all majors


  • HIST 170 Modern Latin America, 1810-present
  • LTAM 300 Issues in Latin American Studies
  • LTAM 400 Integrative Exercise



In addition, majors are required to complete: Two 300-level Latin America-focused courses offered in the Spanish department. One 300-level history, or sociology/anthropology, or political science course focused on Latin America, and 30 additional credits of electives from the list below. The 300-level courses in the Spanish department that are required are always taught in the language.

Carleton College (Northfield, MN) - Sociology and Anthropology (SOAN)

 

Sociology and Anthropology (SOAN)


Joining two disciplines as it does, the Sociology and Anthropology Department at Carleton seeks to present a truly unified vision of the disciplines, both in the major as a whole and in many of the individual courses. Our principal goal is to give students a comparative perspective on human societies, exploring the vast range of similarities and differences among them in space and time.
The department strongly recommends that Sociology/Anthropology 110 or 111 be taken prior to enrolling in courses numbered 200 or above.

Sociology/Anthropology Courses


9-5 and then Bye Bye: Working Across our Lives We spend a substantial portion of our lives at work, and the jobs we hold shape our daily activities, personal identity, and social interactions. This course explores the meaning and experiences of work at four key life stages: adolescence, young adulthood, mid-life, and the elder years. At each stage we examine questions such as: is paid employment in the teenage years a good idea? If so, how does it affect schoolwork and well-being? Do the occupational aspirations of today's college students match the jobs available? How do people in mid-career balance work and family? What makes for a good retirement?  6 cr., AI, WR1, QRE,fall A. Nierobisz 

Introduction to Anthropology An introduction to cultural and social anthropology which develops the theoretical rationale of the discipline through the integration of ethnographic accounts with an analysis of major trends in historical and contemporary thought. Examples of analytical problems selected for discussion include the concepts of society and culture, value systems, linguistics, economic, social, political and religious institutions, as well as ethnographic method and the ethical position of anthropology. 6 cr., SI, IS, fall, winter,spring—J. Levi, C. Ocampo-Raeder

Carleton College (Northfield, MN) - Computer Science

 

Computer Science (CS)


Computer Science studies the computational structures and processes that appear throughout the natural and human worlds. The study of those processes (known as algorithms) can lend insight into the functioning of our brains, the structure of our genes, the mechanisms by which people form communities,
 and many other questions in a wide range of disciplines. At the same time, an understanding of algorithms and the structure of data can help us create a tremendous variety of useful software tools. Carleton's computer science curriculum is designed to provide students with a balance between theoretical study and the practical application of theory to the design and construction of software.

Since computer science plays a key role in our world, we recommend Introduction to Computer Science  (CS 111) for all Carleton students. We also offer introductory-level courses on specific topics, such as Life in the Age of Networks (CS 108).
Those who choose to major in computer science find many opportunities following graduation. Carleton Computer Science graduates who pursue employment in the computing industry find jobs in a many different roles and at a wide variety of companies. In addition to graduate programs in computer science, Carleton CS majors seeking further education have pursued graduate study in areas such as bioinformatics, linguistics, cognitive science, and law.

Requirements for a Major


The course requirements are Mathematics 111; Computer Science 111, 201, 202 (or Mathematics 236), 204, (or 257), 208, 251, 252, and 254; and two additional courses from among Computer Science courses numbered 200 or above. Although they are not required for the CS major, we recommend that our students take as many mathematics and statistics courses as possible. Majors must complete a capstone experience (CS 399 and 400): during fall and winter terms of the senior year, the student will participate on a team of four to seven students working on a faculty-specified project. This means students ordinarily must plan to be on campus fall and winter of the senior year. Potential majors should take Computer Science 111, Mathematics 111, and at least one of Computer Science 201, 202, and 208 by the end of the sophomore year.
Students contemplating graduate study in computer science should consider taking additional courses in both mathematics (ideally the full Calculus sequence plus Mathematics 215 and 232) and computer science. Those interested in computer engineering should consider taking physics courses through Electricity and Magnetism, and Electronics.
A guide for majors is available on the Computer Science Web site.

The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees are academically equivalent within the department. The vast majority of students with an Accounting or Business Administration major choose the B.S. degree. The Economics major is traditionally viewed as a liberal arts major and therefore students often choose the B.A. degree. If a student chooses to graduate with two majors, and one major is only offered as a B.A or B.S., the second major should match the first major’s degree.

The business administration program in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is nationally accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs for the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees with a major in Business Administration.

Thomas More College of Liberal Arts (Merrimack, NH - Classical Languages

 

Classical Languages

Illa vox et imploratio “Civis Romanus sum,” quae saepe multis in ultimis terris opem inter barbaros et salutem tulit.Cicero, In Verrem Meritorious is that course of education which, during the academic formation of the youth, desires that student carefully study of the ancient classics in Greek and Latin.from Pope Leo XIII, Ea disciplinae, On the study of languages in an undergraduate education To be without Greek or Latin is barbarism.

To the end of his days, the bullish Theodore Roosevelt contended that one thing was necessary for an individual to be educated to such a standard that he had a chance to lead in the world of politics or daily affairs. That “essential element” was “classical training.” There was never, until very recently, any opposition perceived between the liberal learning that came from the careful study of Latin and Greek and the often practical actions that students inevitably undertake beyond the college years. In the Catholic tradition, the recovery and preservation of Greek and Latin learning remains central—indeed, the very foundation of an education.

Thomas More College of Liberal Arts (Merrimack, NH - Mathematics, Natural Science, and Philosophy

 

Mathematics, Natural Science, and Philosophy

There are some who through knowledge of things natural construct a ladder by which to rise to the contemplation of things supernatural; they build a path to theology through philosophy and the liberal arts . . . they adorn the queen of heaven with the spoils of the Egyptians. 
–from St. Thomas More’s Letter to the Guild of Masters of the University of Oxford

In his celebrated Regensburg Address, Pope Benedict XVI declared that the virtue most required today by those who seek the truth is nothing less than a kind of intellectual fortitude: the “courage to engage the whole breadth of reason.”  It is a program with which St. Thomas More would have heartily agreed.  For More not only championed Classical languages, but—as the passage above indicates—he also eloquently affirmed the noble task of the other liberal arts and of philosophy to prepare the mind for the arduous ascent towards wisdom.At Thomas More College, students begin the path to wisdom—natural and revealed—with courses that seek to attune their senses to the beauty and intelligibility of the Creation.  In the Way of Beauty sequence, they learn to discipline their eyes, ears, hands, and even their voices, as they ponder the mysteries of proportion in the visual arts and music.  Coupled with a semester of Euclidean Geometry in the Spring Term of their first year, the Way of Beauty sequence helps to reveal the sacred arithmetic and geometry built into the Creation and the human mind.
