Recommendations
Minor in Astronomy and Astrophysics
A program leading to a minor in astronomy and astrophysics is provided for students who have a serious interest in the field but do not plan to major in the subject. To obtain a minor in astronomy and astrophysics, a student must take the following courses: two 100-level astronomy courses (all combinations are acceptable except A100 and A110, or A105 and A110, or A105 and COAS E105: Gravity: The Great Attractor), A221, A222, and one of A305, A320, A451 or A452. Altogether, these provide at least 17 credit hours. A student must take all necessary prerequisites, including some mathematics and physics classes. Substitution of other astronomy courses may be made with the permission of the department. Replacement of 100-level astronomy courses by 300- or 400-level astronomy courses is encouraged. The cumulative GPA of all courses taken for the minor must be at least 2.0.
The honors program is designed for superior students who plan to pursue graduate studies in astronomy and astrophysics. Students wishing to pursue the honors program should contact the undergraduate advisor in the Department of Astronomy during the second semester of their sophomore year or first semester of their junior year. To be admitted to the honors program, students must have a minimum overall GPA of 3.3 and a minimum GPA of 3.3 in their astronomy, mathematics, and physics courses. Students must maintain these GPAs to receive a degree with honors in astronomy and astrophysics.
In the honors program, students complete the same requirements as the regular B.S. in astronomy and astrophysics and in addition take Astronomy S499 Honors Research. Astronomy S499 is to be taken one or both semesters during the senior year, and counts for 3 credits each time it is taken. Students will carry out research supervised by a faculty member in the department. During the second semester of the senior year, the student will write a research report and make an oral presentation describing the work to the Department of Astronomy in a mini-colloquium.

Admission Requirements
Formal requirements for admission to the Individualized Major Program (IMP) are the same as those for the College of Arts and Sciences, except that the IMP requires a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5. Students who do not meet this GPA requirement, but who feel that their past grades do not accurately reflect their potential for success in the IMP, may request permission from the IMP director to go through the application process. Such permission allows the applicant, like other applicants, to formally present his or her case to an Admissions Committee. This does not, of course, guarantee that the student will be accepted into the IMP.
The IMP enables students to pursue a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree in the College of Arts and Sciences through a course of study that, while meeting College requirements and conforming to general university standards of breadth and rigor, is tailored to individual interests and goals. IMP students, working closely with their faculty sponsors, pursue interests that cut across usual departmental and disciplinary boundaries. Their programs normally combine regular courses from several departments and independent and self-directed work. Seniors in the IMP are required to take I470 Individualized Major Program Senior Keystone Seminar (2 cr.).
Although IMP students will not be exempted from specific College of Arts and Sciences course requirements, they may in special cases be allowed to modify College general-education requirements in order to be able to include courses that are more congruent with the logic of their specific programs. IMP students are extremely diverse; they all have well-developed interests, are highly motivated, and are capable of carrying out independent work.
Examples of majors that have been carried out under the auspices of the Individualized Major Program include musical theater, medical illustration, arts management, international studies, film/video production, fashion design, paleobiology, environmental studies, screen writing, Latin American culture, photography, multimedia studies, public relations, animal psychology, and many others.
IMP students are eligible to take a second major in another department if the course credit is separate and distinct from the IMP concentration. Students in the IMP may graduate with honors if their GPA meets honors standards and if their project work is deemed of honors quality by the IMP review committee.
The Individualized Major Program is administered by a faculty committee that is responsible for granting admission to the program, for reviewing student programs under way, for evaluating a thesis or project, and for the final oral review. The Individualized Major Program Faculty Committee will recommend students for the B.A. degree.
Return to Individualized Major Program
I470 Individualized Major Program Senior Keystone Seminar (2 cr.) P: Admittance to Individualized Major Program. Through discussion of final IMP projects students will consider the success and failure of their education within the university and evaluate how that education fits with their future plans. Required of all IMP seniors.

Introduction
The major in international studies (INTL) is designed to provide an intellectual foundation that enables students to communicate, collaborate, and work across national, cultural, linguistic, and socioeconomic boundaries. It fosters competencies students need in order to function successfully in a global environment and involves foreign language study as well as overseas experience.
The major is broadly constructed to allow flexibility as well as depth. Students explore the major by taking three introductory courses chosen from the following thematic areas: Culture and the Arts; Global Environment; Global Markets and Governance; Human Rights and Social Movements; International Communication; Nations, States, and Boundaries; and Rituals and Beliefs. They are also required to focus on one thematic area by taking three additional courses in that area.
Students must choose a regional concentration area with the approval of the international studies advisor in consultation with the director of the program. This area can be perceived in one of two ways (students must select one): 1) an area defined geographically (either broadly defined, such as the Pacific Rim, or with a concentrated focus, such as Egypt or Germany); or, 2) an area defined linguistically, religiously and/or ethnically (such as Jewish diaspora). Normally, the regional concentration chosen should relate to the student's language study.
Return to International Studies Program
Students must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours including the following:

Leadership, Ethics, and Social Action Program
Director
Academic Advising
Introduction
The Leadership, Ethics, and Social Action Program (LESA) offers an undergraduate minor focused on the relationship of the individual to community and the understanding of this relationship, which is at the heart of leadership. This is done through service learning, which meets real needs of the community; through course work that will help students think about the concepts of leadership, service, and community; and through an individual project developed with community leaders and academic mentors. A basic assumption is that community service is one of the key responsibilities of a citizen in a democracy, and one of the experiences through which citizenship is learned. For this reason, this minor links the students' service experiences to broader questions about the responsibilities of individuals to the communities of which they are a part. It is our goal to help students to see themselves as members of communities, and to help them develop the insights and skills so that they can strengthen those communities. Although the course work in the minor focuses on community, service, and ethics, the focus of the service-learning projects may be in any field and may be combined with any major.
Return to Leadership, Ethics, and Social Action Program
Community engagement contributes to all aspects of the university's mission. As a pedagogical method, service learning furthers students' critical thinking, improves their mastery of academic material, and examines the relationship between theory and practice. It also strengthens students' sense of social and ethical responsibility, deepens their understanding of the context of social issues, and encourages them to participate in communities beyond campus. Service learning also can make faculty and student research more rigorous, as well as more responsive to public concerns. Finally, service learning reinvigorates the university's commitment to using its resources for the public good. Reflection on the experience of community service is a crucial element of this pedagogy.
