School of Education

With careful planning, a student may earn a teacher's certificate for senior high/junior high/middle school or all-grade education while working toward a bachelor's degree in the College of Arts and Sciences, while still completing the requirements for each in four years. For details, see the School of Education Undergraduate Program bulletin.

All undergraduate professional education courses numbered 301 and above (except H340 and K306) are closed to students who have not been admitted to the Teacher Education Program. Students are encouraged to apply for admission to the Teacher Education Program during the second semester of their sophomore year. Criteria for admission are:

  1. An overall grade point average of 2.5 or higher.
  2. Completion of Communication and Culture C121 or C122 and English W131 or its equivalent with a grade of at least C in each. C121 may not be taken by correspondence.
  3. Successful completion of the Pre-professional Skills Test (reading, writing, and math) or waiver via GRE, SAT, or ACT scores.
  4. Completion of at least 12 credit hours of course work in the major with a 2.5 or higher grade point average.
  5. Successful completion of Education M201, with P254 or P255, W200, and M300 with a grade of at least C in each.
Minimum Academic Standards for Licensing
  1. An overall grade point average of 2.5 or higher.
  2. A grade point average of 2.5 or higher in all courses in the primary or major area.
  3. A grade point average of 2.5 or higher in all professional education courses and no grade less than C.
  4. Successful completion of a subject content test in the primary or major area. (Applies if required by major.)
  5. Completed all program course work requirements.
The Standard Teaching License
Senior High/Junior High/Middle School Education (Grades 5-12)
All-Grade Education (Grades K-12)
A candidate must take certain required course work in three broad categories:
  1. General education: humanities (including oral and written expression), life and physical sciences, social and behavioral sciences;
  2. Professional education;
  3. Subject matter concentration(s).
Courses used to satisfy general education requirements also may be applied to fulfill requirements for a subject matter concentration. In such a case the course may be used to meet all requirements to which it will apply, but the credit hours may be counted only once toward the total 124 credit hours needed for a degree. No courses below the 100 level and no COAS-J courses may be used to meet this requirement.

Certification in any of the areas offered by the School of Education of Indiana University requires completion of specified general-education and professional courses in addition to the completion of the subject area or areas. To be eligible for secondary and all-grade certification, at least one major area is required.

General Education
A minimum of 45 credit hours, always including 9 credit hours in specific courses in oral and written expression, is required. The same general-education requirements apply to the standard license in senior high/junior high/middle school education and to the standard license in all-grade education, except that the minimum number of credit hours required for the all-grade license is 40. Course work must be included from the three areas indicated.

Area Senior High/Junior High School License All Grade License
Humanities 18-24 cr. 18-22 cr.
Life/Physical Sciences 9-15 cr. 9-12 cr.
Social/Behavioral Sciences 9-15 cr 9-12 cr.
Total 45 cr. 40 cr.

Professional Education
Enrollment for methods and student teaching must be from the campus from which the degree is expected.

Methods courses (M440-M478) must be taken at least one semester before student teaching (M480 or M482), except Education M446, M456, M463, which are taken the same semester as student teaching. The Office of Student Teaching conducts mandatory student teaching meetings in the School of Education every September. The student must attend one of these meetings and submit an application by October 31 of the year prior to that in which student teaching is desired. Student teaching requires 10 weeks of full-time teaching.

School of Music

Introduction

A limited number of courses in the theory and history of music given in the School of Music are accepted for credit toward degrees in the College of Arts and Sciences. The B.A. in music is designed for students who want a general knowledge of the history and theory of music; it is not a professional degree. Students working toward this degree are not eligible to take courses in music education such as methods, student teaching, etc., to fulfill certification requirements.

Major in Music—B.A.

Requirements
Students must complete the following, (for course descriptions see the School of Music bulletin):

  1. 26 credit hours in music history, literature, and theory to include T151-T152 Literature and Structure I-II (3-3 cr.); T251-T252 Literature and Structure III-IV (3-3 cr.); T351 Literature and Structure V (3 cr.); M401-M402 History of Music I-II (4-4 cr.). Additional credit hours may be elected from 300-, 400-, or graduate-level courses in music theory, history, and composition.
  2. 4-16 credit hours in performance study (applied music). Students must meet the upper-division concentration level as determined by a regular music faculty upper-division hearing committee held at the end of each semester. Students must register for this hearing before midsemester in the music undergraduate office.
  3. Chamber music (1 cr.) for non-voice students (F450 or other by consent of the director of music undergraduate studies).
  4. Students majoring in music for the B.A. degree must achieve a passing grade in major ensemble (X040 or X070) for each fall semester, spring semester, or second summer session in which they are enrolled on the Bloomington campus.
Credits earned in applied music and ensembles are considered outside the College of Arts and Sciences and therefore count toward the maximum of such credits applicable toward the B.A. For students in the B.A. music program, that maximum is 20 credit hours.

In addition to the basic university fees, students will pay an applied music fee for each applied music course taken.

Minor in Music

Requirements
At least 15 credit hours in music, including T151-T152 (3-3 cr.), T251-T252 (3-3 cr.), and one course from the following: T351, M401, M402, M410, T412, T416, T417, T418, or another "M" or "T" course at the 400 level, as approved by the director of undergraduate studies in music.

School of Optometry

Introduction

The school offers three outstanding degree programs: the two-year Associate of Science program in optometric technology for optometric technicians and opticians, the Doctor of Optometry program for the education of optometrists, and the graduate program in visual science and physiological optics, which leads to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees for those interested in research and teaching.

Optometric Technology Program

Students completing the program are qualified to begin a career as an optometric technician or an optician. The general non-technical courses, such as English composition and required electives, may be completed either before or after the technical courses. An additional option allows students to become laboratory opticians by completing courses in lens surfacing and fabrication (optician's laboratory concentration).

Doctor of Optometry Program

A student may be admitted to the school's Doctor of Optometry program after earning a bachelor's degree or after completing a minimum of 90 credit hours in the College of Arts and Sciences. Major areas of concentration are typically in the physical, biological, or behavioral sciences, but other fields may be selected. General courses specifically required for admission to the optometry program are listed in the School of Optometry bulletin.

Bachelor's Degree-O.D. Program

A student who is admitted to the School of Optometry after completing 90 credit hours in the College of Arts and Sciences and who has satisfied the fundamental skills, distribution, and major concentration requirements, including a concentration in a department of the College, may apply 32 credit hours in optometry as electives toward the bachelor's degree to be received in the initial major. See also "General Requirements for Bachelor's Degrees" in this bulletin.

Courses for the Nonmajor

Certain courses offered by the School of Optometry, such as those that examine fundamental aspects of vision, may have application to the career fields of students completing majors in other degree programs. With the necessary prerequisites and permission of both the instructor and the dean of the School of Optometry, a nonmajor may be allowed to register for one such optometry course per semester or summer session. For advice on optometry courses that might fulfill a specific objective, the student should consult the Office of Student Affairs, School of Optometry 310, (812) 855-1917.

Undergraduate Program

The School of Social Work offers an undergraduate program leading to the Bachelor of Social Work (B.S.W.) The B.S.W. prepares students for entry-level social work positions in a variety of social service fields. In addition, graduates of this program who are admitted to the school's graduate program may receive advance credit toward completion of the requirements for the degree of Master of Social Work.

The required social work courses at the freshman, sophomore, and junior levels are offered on the campuses at Bloomington, Indianapolis (IUPUI), and Richmond. The senior-level courses are offered in Indianapolis and Richmond. Students beginning course work on the Bloomington campus must finish in Indianapolis.

Admission Requirements
Students are admitted to the program each year on a competitive basis. The following are the minimum requirements for admission to the program:

  1. Regular admission to the university.
  2. Completion of at least 26 credit hours of college-level courses or two semesters of full-time study, including the required exploratory course in social work (S141).
  3. A minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale.
  4. Evidence of personal suitability and interest relevant to social work education. Such evidence may be derived from the application materials, letters of reference, pertinent work experience, and performance in the exploratory course.

Studying Abroad

The College of Arts and Sciences encourages students to take part in programs of overseas study sponsored by Indiana University (see the section "Overseas Study Programs" elsewhere in this bulletin). In cases where there is no Indiana University-sponsored program in an area of interest, students may apply to programs administered by other institutions and organizations. Credits from non-Indiana University programs may be accepted as transfer credit, subject to the following conditions:

  1. Indiana University admissions policy limits the acceptance of transfer credit from study abroad to programs administered by a regionally accredited U.S. college or university, or by a foreign institution recognized by the ministry of education of the country as a university-level institution.
  2. Credit can only be awarded upon receipt of an official transcript, or equivalent document, listing specific courses taken and grades assigned. The amount of credit awarded by overseas study may not exceed the number of credit hours that can be earned at Indiana University in the same amount of time.
  3. The assignment of equivalent Indiana University course numbers or undistributed credit for course work transferred from non--Indiana University overseas study programs is subject to the approval of the appropriate academic departments and an assistant dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.
  4. Course work not approved for transfer as credit in a particular academic department may be accepted, with the approval of the College of Arts and Sciences, as COAS foreign study credit. However, no more than 8 hours of such credit can be counted toward a degree in the College of Arts and Sciences.
  5. In cases where courses taken abroad fall into a set sequence of courses at Indiana University, the relevant academic departments may at their discretion require examinations before any transfer credit is awarded. Specific examples include courses in foreign languages, applied music, music theory, mathematics, and natural sciences.
  6. Overseas study programs vary greatly in quality. No transfer credit at all may be awarded for programs of uncertain quality, despite the issuance of a transcript.
  7. Students denied transfer credit for overseas study may seek credit by examination, as outlined elsewhere in this bulletin.
To assure that credits can be accepted from a particular overseas program, students are urged to submit credit transfer agreement forms to the Office of Admissions prior to committing themselves to participating in the program.

Under certain circumstances students may be permitted to use Indiana University financial aid toward programs sponsored by organizations other than Indiana University. Information and application forms may be obtained from the Office of Overseas Study, Franklin Hall 303, (812) 855-9304. For such an application to be approved, the course work undertaken overseas must be integral to the student's major program at Indiana University, and the application must be approved by the student's academic department and the Office of Overseas Study.

Introduction

Urban studies is an interdisciplinary program that focuses on problems of urbanization, metropolitan dynamics, and city systems. The program addresses a range of urban-related interests including urbanization in developing countries, urban ethnic and racial segregation, housing analysis, transportation, environmental and land use planning, and cities in the emerging information economy. An interdisciplinary perspective on the dynamics and problems of urban development is gained from course work taught by associated faculty from several academic units of the university. The program is administered by the Department of Geography. It offers the undergraduate Certificate in Urban Studies and a graduate minor (M.A. or Ph.D.) in urban affairs. For further information, contact the Department of Geography, Student Building 120, (812) 855-6303.
