American StudiesIntroduction IntroductionThe American Studies Program (AMST) provides students with an opportunity to pursue the study of American cultures from an interdisciplinary perspective. Courses are designed to examine significant aspects of U.S. institutions, policy, media, and cultural expressions by drawing on a wide range of resources from the social sciences and humanities. Because of its interdisciplinary nature, American Studies attracts students with diverse interests who wish to know more about the United States in a comparative, international context. Major in American Studies
Requirements In consultation with the director, students design an individual concentration (minimum of 15 credit hours) that provides focus and purpose to their remaining course work in the major and that provides solid background for their senior seminar topic. The concentration will be built from concentration courses offered through American studies and from pertinent joint-listed and cross-listed course offerings in other programs, departments, and units. At least 6 credit hours counted toward the concentration must be at the 300 level or higher. Students pursuing a B.A. in American studies must demonstrate advanced language competency in a single foreign language—equivalent to a third year of study. This may require students to take an additional two semesters of a foreign language beyond the standard College requirements, including at least one course at the 300 level or above that studies a foreign language literature. The language chosen for study must pertain directly to American studies and requires the approval of the director of the American Studies Program. Required Core Courses Concentration Courses Additional concentration courses are offered in other departments and programs and are cross-listed in American Studies. For a list of courses, please consult the American Studies Program, Ballantine Hall 521, (812) 855-7718, amstug@indiana.edu, or consult the program Web site at www.indiana.edu/~amst.

Environmental ScienceIntroduction While it is possible to divide environmental science into numerous subdisciplines or systems such as the atmosphere, the biosphere, the hydrosphere, and the lithosphere, these subsystems are interdependent components of a single large system. It follows that the problems encountered in the environmental sciences are inherently interdisciplinary; hence, a scientist working in this field is required to possess both a breadth of knowledge and a specific set of skills and expertise. The overall organization of the B.S.E.S. degree program reflects this philosophy with a broad core curriculum, a concentration area, and a senior research project providing advanced hands-on experience. The B.S.E.S. degree program is intended to instill an appreciation of the integrated nature of the discipline and supply a level of expertise in one area. Recognition of these areas of expertise comes in the form of a concentration designation: General, Atmospheric Science, Ecosystem Science, Hydrology and Water Resources, Mathematical Modeling, Surficial Processes, or Pollution Control Technologies and Remediation.

Students explore the major by taking three introductory courses chosen from the following thematic areas: Culture and the Arts; Global Health and Environment; Global Integration and Development; Human Rights and Social Movements; International Communication; and Nations, States, and Boundaries. They also are 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 the Jewish diaspora). Normally, the regional concentration chosen should relate to the student’s language study. Major in International Studies

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. Important Advising Notes: Students should contact the advisor for the program early in their degree program to complete the minor application by spring of the sophomore year, and to receive information about course availability and sequencing, as well as program announcements and opportunities. Call (812) 855-6308 to make an appointment or e-mail lesa@indiana.edu to inquire. It is advisable to complete the first three requirements in the first and second years of the undergraduate program. To obtain departmental consent to participate in the Capstone Seminar in the fall semester, students are expected to complete the other requirements listed below (1–4) before undertaking a capstone project. To prepare to submit a project proposal for the Capstone Seminar in the fall, a 1 credit LESA L405 seminar in the spring semester is required. Students should expect the capstone process to involve at least a one-year time commitment (spring of the junior year and fall of the senior year). Contact the advisor for more information. When planning for overseas study, please arrange a program for any spring other than the spring of the junior year, and any summer and/or fall semester other than fall of the senior year, to avoid the two semesters which will be taken up with capstone work.

In addition to a knowledge of mathematics, statisticians must learn about the scientific disciplines that generate data of interest to understand and explain the observational studies or the statistical experiments in question. For example, statisticians calculate probabilities for DNA paternity tests; design clinical trials to study the effectiveness of new medications; study economic time series data, such as gross domestic product from developing countries in Africa; and develop statistical models of responses from fMRI psychological experiments. The field of statistics has a coherent body of theory, which students of the field master, as well as methodology designed for applied uses in many disciplines. The department teaches courses in both theoretical and applied statistics. Statistics—B.S.Purpose Requirements
