| The
Personalized Studies Program (PSP) is intended
to provide a viable curricular option for those
students whose objectives could best be met
by a "tailoring" of the distribution
of existing requirements and offerings. Students
whose academic status is clear and who have
completed a minimum of 32 semester hours are
eligible to present a contract proposal to the
PSP Committee. In the proposal, the student
will formulate a coherent statement of personal
objectives. When accepted, the contract becomes
the statement of the student's academic major.
The General Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor
of Arts or Bachelor of Science must be met.
An academic minor is not required. A minimum
of 54 semester hours distributed among three
to five academic departments is required for
the major. Not more than 27 semester hours in
one department may be applied toward the PSP
Major. At least 50 percent of the courses specified
in the contract shall be at the 300-400 level.
Seventy-five percent of all courses that constitute
the major shall be specifically designated as
required. Students must complete at least 20
semester hours after approval of the PSP proposal.
The list of remaining courses in the major may
be modified with the concurrence of the student's
advisor. |
| No
more than one third of PSP hours may come from
departments outside of the College of Arts and
Sciences. |
| The
following procedures will be followed. The prospective
major contacts one of the committee members
for initial counseling. The student fills out
an information form that provides name, rank,
current major and status, and a brief statement
of goals. This form may be used later to designate
an advisor. The student-advisor team completes
the contract contingencies. The student presents
the contract proposal to the PSP Committee.
Upon approval of the contract by the PSP Committee
and the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences,
the student's program is in effect. Approved
contracts may undergo revisions upon request
of the student-advisor team and approval from
the PSP Committee and the Dean of Arts and Sciences. |
