General Rules

Candidates for the Bachelor of Arts degree should first review General Requirements for All Degrees at IUS.

1. A minimum of 120 credit hours (at least 130 credit hours if also seeking teacher certification) are required for graduation.

   A minimum grade of D- counts as passing for this requirement if the course was taken at an IU campus.

   Courses accepted for transfer credit from another accredited institution must have a minimum grade of C (not C-) to satisfy this requirement. (The Office of Admissions handles the assessment of transfer courses.)

   Student development courses such as M006, M007, W030, W100, and X150 do not count toward the 120 credit hours required for graduation.

   If a student passes the same course more than once, it can count only once toward graduation, unless the bulletin specifically states that the course may be repeated for credit.

   Note:
   The transcript may not indicate how many credit hours have been earned toward graduation. It gives the "IU GPA credit hours," which may include failed courses and repeated courses. The transcript also indicates "total IU credit hours passed," but this may include student development courses.
   
   

2. To meet the minimum residence requirement, every degree candidate must complete no fewer than 26 credit hours of course work in the senior year in residence at IUS, and no fewer than 10 credit hours of course work in the major field of study at IUS.
   
   
3. The degree candidate must have a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 (C).
   
   
4. Students are required to complete a minimum of 30 credit hours in courses at the 300 and 400 level. Courses used to meet this requirement may be from any department. Transferred courses designated undistributed (UNDI) normally do not count toward this requirement.

English Composition

Students must complete English W131 (Elementary Composition I) with a grade of C or higher. (See General Requirements for All Degrees at IUS)

In addition, students must complete the requirement for research writing designated for their academic program.

Mathematics

Students fulfill the mathematics requirement when they have completed the mathematical and formal reasoning distribution requirement for the Bachelor of Arts degree with a minimum grade of D-.

Return to Top

Foreign Language

Students must satisfactorily complete (D- or higher) four semesters of a foreign language, or they must earn an achievement examination or placement test score sufficient for placement in foreign language classes at the 300 level or above. (For details, see the section on Further Information on the Foreign Language Requirement.)

Return to Top

Cultural Diversity

Students entering as first-year students in fall 1995 or later must complete, with a minimum grade of D-, one course in any discipline that fosters an appreciation for cultural diversity by focusing on the experiences and ways of thinking of various cultural groups. The focus may be historical or contemporary; it may investigate a single tradition or be comparative. Both courses about United States minority groups and those about non-Western societies or cultures are acceptable. Many courses that satisfy the cultural diversity requirement may also be used to satisfy one of the B.A. distribution requirements. The courses currently available to meet this requirement are listed below. Before enrolling in any of these classes, the student should check the IUS Bulletin for prerequisites. Students should be aware that lists are periodically revised.

General Information

The distribution requirements are a common core of study for all students pursuing the Bachelor of Arts degree. Regardless of what major(s) or minor(s) students ultimately choose, this core provides a basic foundation in the arts and sciences disciplines. Students should realize that completing these relatively few courses cannot in itself bring about a deep grounding in intellectual and cultural traditions. However, the experience does give students a basic sense of how all these disciplines—scientific and nonscientific, historical and nonhistorical, critical and noncritical—form an integrated whole, and how they build upon intellectual traditions to contribute to human beings' ongoing assessment and formation of cultural values. Such an introduction serves students well both in their chosen fields and in their continued learning beyond their university studies.

The requirements below apply to students entering IUS as first-year students in the fall of 1995 or later. Students who entered before the fall of 1995 will ordinarily meet the previously published requirements and should consult the Indiana University Southeast Bulletin in effect when they entered. Students who entered before the fall of 1995 may opt to fulfill these requirements with the approval of their academic advisors and deans.

To fulfill the B.A. distribution requirements, students must select a specified number of courses from each of four areas. They must obtain a minimum grade of D- (the lowest passing grade) in all courses used to fulfill the distribution requirements and may not apply a given course to a distribution requirement in more than one area. A student may not use more than 6 credit hours in any particular discipline to satisfy the Bachelor of Arts degree distribution requirements.

The Natural World

All courses fulfilling this requirement expose students to theoretical research into the physical structures and regularities of the natural world, as well as the complexities and categories of living organisms. Requirement: three courses; at least one physical science course and one life science course for a minimum total of 11 credit hours; at least one course must include a laboratory component. The courses currently available to meet this requirement are listed below. Students should be aware that lists are periodically revised.

The Individual, Society, and Politics

All courses fulfilling this requirement deal with questions pertaining to the social, political, and psychological contexts within which individuals think and act. Students will be exposed to a number of theories and methods stressing the differences and common assumptions at work in social science research. Courses are divided into two categories: psychology and society (including courses that take up psychological, sociological, and anthropological forms of investigation); and politics and economics (including courses that take up political and economic forms of investigation). These courses will give students a sense of the influences at play in the life of the individual. Requirement: three courses, at least one from each category. The courses currently available to meet this requirement are listed below. A "DIV" after the credit hours indicates that the course will also satisfy the B.A. degree diversity requirement.

Studies in Traditional Sources: Literature, Ideas, History, and the Arts

Courses fulfilling this requirement challenge students to read, interpret, and analyze representative works emerging from rich and diverse traditions. The readings in these courses will encourage students to take seriously the nature of a broad range of issues, crises, and accomplishments, whether they be ancient or recent in origin. Exposure to the ways in which the various disciplines approach texts and other traditional sources develops students' creative, analytic, and interpretive capacities.

Courses are divided into four categories: literature (including courses that involve the careful study of significant literary texts); ideas (giving students the opportunity to investigate general moral, spiritual, and intellectual issues); historical investigation (including courses in social, political, economic, and cultural history, as well as courses in the history of music and art); and the arts (giving students the chance to take part in disciplined performance, creation, and study in the arts). Requirement: five courses, two in historical investigation and one each in literature, ideas, and the arts. The courses currently available to meet this requirement are listed below. A "DIV" after the credit hours indicates that the course will also satisfy the B.A. degree diversity requirement. Students should be aware that lists are periodically revised.

General Information

Students must complete requirements for a specific major, which must total no fewer than 25 credit hours.

The specific requirements a student must fulfill for the major are those published in the IUS Bulletin current at the time the student declares the major, or those in the bulletin at the time of graduation. If there is a discrepancy between the bulletins, the dean of the appropriate academic unit will determine which bulletin to follow.

No later than the first semester of the junior year, students should plan a tentative outline of their major with their dean or assigned major advisor.

Note:

1. Only minimum grades of C- may be counted toward this requirement, although courses with lower passing grades may count toward the 120 credit hour requirement.
2. Courses taken to satisfy the English W131 requirement may not be applied to satisfy the major.

Double Major

A double major is awarded to all B.A. candidates who satisfy the requirements of two majors. At least 25 credit hours must be taken in each major. The student is required to have one advisor from each of the major programs and must notify the deans of the schools that offer the majors.

Return to Major Requirements

Double Degree

Students may simultaneously earn two different degrees (e.g., B.A. and B.S.). Such a double degree can be obtained by completing all requirements for each of the two degrees. The student must have an advisor for both degrees and must notify the deans of the schools that grant the degrees.

Return to Major Requirements

Certification to Teach

With careful planning, a student may earn teacher's certification for senior high/junior high/middle school or all-grade education while working toward a Bachelor of Arts degree. Students interested in such a program of study should consult both an advisor in their major field and an advisor in the School of Education.
