Master of Education in Elementary Curriculum and Instruction Master of Education in Elementary Reading Master of Education in Early Adolescent Education (Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies) Master of Education in Adolescent and Young Adult Education (Biology, Chemistry, English, Math, Social Studies) Professional and Pre-Professional Programs Students who are interested in preparing for such professions as theology, law, medicine, dentistry, engineering, journalism, and library science are encouraged to consider taking part or all of their liberal arts preparation at Huntington. In many cases professional schools prefer that students complete a liberal arts degree prior to admission. In other instances, a year or two of work at Huntington may be most advantageous. The student should consult the graduate or professional school catalog of interest in planning his or her undergraduate program. Students preparing to enter law school will find that acceptance depends upon undergraduate grades, scores on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), and references supplied by professors and others. Law schools emphasize the importance of a liberal arts education. Undergraduate courses should be selected from those that emphasize comprehension, expression, and logical thinking. A critical understanding of our societal institutions and the values with which the law deals in such relations with these institutions is also important. Courses recommended include communication, economics, English, history, philosophy, political science, psychology, and sociology. Students wishing to enter one of the engineering professions should contact the university engineering schools of interest to learn specific course requirements. Some of the institutions in the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities which offer engineering programs include Calvin, Cedarville, Dordt, Eastern Nazarene, Geneva, George Fox, John Brown, LeTourneau, Messiah, Olivet, and Seattle Pacific. Depending on the university and the particular engineering field, it is usually possible to complete one to two years of liberal arts courses at Huntington, including foundational courses in the physical sciences and mathematics, as well as the humanities and social sciences. CCCU engineering programs recommend a year of chemistry and physics, three semesters of calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, statistics, numerical methods, computer science languages, English composition and literature, Bible, and other courses in the humanities, history, and social sciences. Students preparing for entrance into medical, dental, optometry, or veterinary school will find that acceptance is based on undergraduate grades, scores earned on the appropriate admission test (MCAT, DAT, OAT, or VCAT), and references supplied by professors and others. Although medical schools accept students with a variety of majors who have strong standardized admission test scores, pre-medical students often major in biology or chemistry with considerable electives in other areas of the liberal arts. Medical schools give priority to students who excel in all areas and those willing to go beyond routine class assignments. Co-curricular activities and research are encouraged. The minimum courses recommended for preparation for medical, dental, optometry, or veterinary school and for the appropriate standardized admission test include BI 161/L, 222/L, 321/L, 342/L; CH 161/L, 162/L, 263/L, 264/L; PH 211/L, 212/L; and MA 151 or 171. Other recommended courses in biology, chemistry, and mathematics include BI 231/L, 371/L, 432/L, 461; CH 411; and MA 171 and 172. Pre-medical students typically take the standardized admission test in the spring of the junior year and apply for admission to medical or other professional schools during the summer before the senior year. Students interested in physical therapy, occupational therapy, pharmacy, or physician’s assistant programs are recommended to follow a similar course of study and to refer to admissions criteria of the professional schools of interest for additional recommended courses in psychology or social sciences. Pre-professional study for physical or occupational therapy may follow a pre-medical track while pursuing a major in biology, chemistry, or exercise science. Pre-nursing students should meet early with the pre-nursing advisor to determine the appropriate course work for the intended nursing school, and should take biology, chemistry, and other liberal arts courses in preparation for the nursing program. Professional Teacher Education Program Huntington University is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education and the State of Indiana Professional Standards Board for its courses in the liberal arts and teacher education leading to Indiana teacher licensing in elementary (elementary: primary and intermediate grade levels), middle grades (elementary: intermediate and middle school/junior high levels), and secondary schools (middle school/junior high and high school levels). Students may complete elementary: primary and intermediate licensing for grades K-5, or elementary special education. Middle grades (grades 4-8) licensing majors are available with content area concentrations in language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science. In secondary education (grades 6-12), students may complete majors in business education; English; mathematics; music all-grade concentrations in vocal and general music, and instrumental and general music; physical education, including a secondary major or an all-grade major; science, with majors in biology and chemistry; social studies with content concentrations in economics, psychology, and sociology; theatre (pending state approval) and visual arts including elementary, secondary, or all-grade majors. The requirements for completion of the college major and licensing courses are available in the Education Department Office and in the respective content area departments. Baccalaureate Degree General Requirements It is the responsibility of the student to see that the proper courses for the intended degree and major are taken in the proper sequence. Special care should be taken with courses offered in alternate years. The faculty advisor should be consulted for assistance in planning, but ultimately the student accepts responsibility for registration in the desired and needed courses. Total minimum credits for graduation are 128 hours for a baccalaureate degree with a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 overall. A Core Curriculum in general education is required of all students, which includes language or cultural enrichment courses for those seeking the bachelor of arts degree. The passing of an English competency exam and demonstrated mathematics competency are required for graduation. All baccalaureate students must complete a minimum of 36 hours in upper-division courses numbered 300 or above. Three January Term courses in at least two departments are required. A major of at least 36 hours as described in the major department, twenty-four or more of which are in the major department, must be presented for graduation. At least 10 hours in the major must be upper-division courses. No grade less than C- in the major is acceptable, and the average of all courses in the major must be at least C. An appropriate minor may be added to the student’s program of study provided it includes at least 22 hours as described in the minor department. Not more than 48 hours from one department and not more than 66 hours from one division may be counted toward the bachelor of arts degree, exclusive of any foundation courses that are not included in the major. Major requirements may not exceed 48 hours for the bachelor of arts degree nor 66 hours for the bachelor of science and bachelor of music degrees. To be granted a bachelor's degree from Huntington, the student must have completed either the last 30 hours or a minimum of 90 hours in residence through Huntington University. One-half of the courses in the major must have been taken through Huntington. Students must be present at Baccalaureate and Commencement for the conferring of the degree unless exempted by special action of the Faculty. Students intending to complete degree requirements during the summer may be permitted to participate in Commencement exercises in May as July graduates provided they have no more than nine hours of coursework remaining at the time of Commencement. Students who wish to be July graduates must file an acceptable plan for completing the outstanding credits with the registrar by May 1 prior to Commencement. Students may be listed as July graduates one time. Students whose names are published in the Commencement bulletin as July graduates who fail to complete requirements as planned will not be listed in the bulletin again until all degree requirements are completed. Students pursuing any degree or diploma should submit an application for graduation to the registrar no later than the registration period two semesters prior to their planned completion of requirements. Students who wish to be considered candidates for the bachelor's degree must apply for graduation when they have completed 95 or more semester hours. After the registrar has approved a student’s application for graduation, the student must report any changes in the submitted plan of study for completion of requirements to the registrar for approval. Students wishing to participate in Commencement in May are permitted to have a maximum of nine semester hours of course work remaining at the time of Commencement. A plan for completing the outstanding credits by the end of the summer must be filed with the registrar by May 1 prior to Commencement. Courses offered by Huntington University and already begun at the time of Commencement and scheduled to be completed before July 31 will not be included in the nine-hour maximum. Students planning to complete a portion of their requirements for graduation through CLEP or correspondence must complete that work in time to allow an official report of the results of that work to reach the registrar by mid-term of the spring semester prior to graduation. Names of students not having successfully completed planned CLEP or correspondence credit will not be recommended to the Faculty for inclusion in the graduating class. Earning a Second Bachelor's Degree Rarely is it in the best interest of students to work toward a second bachelor's degree. Students may find that it is advantageous to take courses in a second field at the undergraduate level; but if a degree objective is sought, most often students will find that a graduate degree can be earned while getting the additional coursework. However, students who have completed a bachelor's degree may be allowed to receive a second bachelor's degree at Huntington provided they complete all requirements for the second degree and a minimum of 24 hours beyond the requirements for the first degree. The major for the second degree shall be distinct from that of the first. The second degree is not to be confused with a double major in which case only one degree is granted. The Huntington University Core Curriculum assists students in integrating knowledge, values, and abilities with a coherent worldview, equipping them for a life of faithfulness to God and service in a rapidly changing world. Students completing the Core Curriculum will (i) explore the central fields of human inquiry and consider the most significant developments in human thought; (ii) develop abilities necessary for productive living and for leadership in society; (iii) develop critical thinking abilities; (iv) value diversity and appreciate creative expression; (v) confront questions that challenge established points of view; (vi) identify values that will give meaning and purpose to their lives; (vii) be challenged to integrate the Christian faith in articulating their personal worldview; and (viii) interpret and respond to issues in ways that reflect their value systems. The Core Curriculum provides an integrated program of general education and is the core of the Huntington educational experience upon which a student’s major expands to develop knowledge and skills for professional life. The Core Curriculum consists of a minimum total of 64 hours for the bachelor of arts degree, and 52 hours for the bachelor of music, bachelor of science and bachelor of social work degrees. The Core is organized around five themes.

Language As Broadening Cultural Understanding Another people’s language, more than any other aspect of their culture, reflects their views of life, the world, and the human experience. In addition to these cultural insights, the study of a foreign language strengthens linguistic skills and provides a clearer understanding of one’s own language. The study of a foreign language for all students is strongly recommended. Exploration of non-English speaking culture, including knowledge of a foreign language, is required for students earning the bachelor of arts degree and is recommended for all other baccalaureate degrees. The requirement may be satisfied by completion of 12 hours in the same language at the undergraduate level or by receiving credit for the equivalent level by CLEP exam. Students in most majors may also satisfy the requirement by completing six semester hours in the same foreign language and six additional semester hours in either foreign language or cultural enrichment courses. Designated cultural enrichment courses in the arts, literature, religion, and history of another culture or in philosophy, linguistics, political geography, and sociology are intended to provide a broadened cultural understanding. Students completing a bachelor of arts major in English or history must complete 12 hours in the same language to fulfill the language requirement. Students completing a major in Bible complete GR 111, followed by either eight more hours of Greek or eight other credits in foreign language and cultural enrichment (provided that six hours are in the same foreign language). Students who have studied a foreign language in high school may wish to continue in the same language in college. Generally, two years of high school language study are equivalent to one year of the language at the undergraduate level. If the student has had less than two years in high school, the student is placed in the beginning semester of the language. Advanced placement in language courses requires that students take the CLEP test by early summer to allow time for scores to be processed. The student whose native tongue is a major language other than English may be exempted from the foreign language requirement upon the recommendation of the Foreign Language Department to the Academic Concerns Committee. A “major language” for these purposes is one used by a major population group and one in which a substantial body of written literature exists. Cultural Enrichment Courses for Broadened Understanding Designated cultural enrichment courses provide an option for students who choose not to complete two years of language study. These courses are intended to satisfy the broadened cultural understanding which underlies the foreign language requirement through study of a non-English speaking culture which reveals another people’s concepts of life and human relationships. Students opting to complete the language requirement by taking cultural enrichment courses will complete twelve hours from any combination of language courses and those courses listed below, including at least six semester hours in a single language. Some January Term courses may also be approved as cultural enrichment courses, but no courses may be counted that otherwise are part of the student’s major or the Core Curriculum. The following have been approved to be counted toward the cultural enrichment requirement. AR 371 Art History I AR 381 Art History II BR 331 Religions of the World BR 421 Contemporary Religious Thought EN 381 Early English Literature EN 481 World Masterpieces I EN 482 World Masterpieces II HS 322 Early Modern Europe HS 355 Modern Russia HS 411 Medieval Europe HS 432 Modern Europe MU 241 English/German Diction and Literature MU 242 Latin/Italian/French Diction and Literature MU 341 Music History and Literature I MU 342 Music History and Literature II PL 311 History of Ancient and Medieval Philosophy PL 321 History of Modern Philosophy PL 420 Twentieth Century Philosophy SO 141 Cultural Anthropology SO 421 Population Studies SO 485 Sociological Theory TH 311 History and Literature of the Theatre I TH 312 History and Literature of the Theatre II |
