The School of
Arts & Sciences is composed of the following units:
·
Office
of Teacher Education
·
Department
of Music
·
Department
of Natural Sciences
·
Department
of Social Sciences
·
Department
of Humanities
·
Department

A primary
objective of the School of Arts and Sciences is to offer interdisciplinary baccalaureate
programs in Teacher Education and Integrative Studies as well as baccalaureate degree
programs in four departments: Music, Humanities,
Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences. The
specific programs are as follows:
·
Bachelor
of Arts (B.A.) in Middle Level Education (Office of Teacher Education)
·
Bachelor
of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Integrative Stuides (Department of
Humanities)
·
Bachelor
of Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Music (B.M.) in Composition or in Performance (Department
of Music)
·
Bachelor
of Arts (B.A.) in Communication and Media Studies (Department of Humanities)
·
Bachelor
of Science (B.S.) in Applied Biology (Department of Natural Sciences)
·
Bachelor
of Science (B.S.) in Psychology and Human Services (Department of Social Sciences).
In addition,
the School of Arts and Sciences has four other primary objectives:
·
To
provide students with the sound background in general education that they will need during
their college experience and after graduation.
·
To
provide course work in support of programs of study offered by other schools of the
University.
·
To
offer transfer programs leading to the Associate of Arts (A.A.) and the Associate of
Science (A.S.) degrees in fields for which Clayton State University does not offer a bachelor’s degree.
·
To
provide students with college preparatory instruction in certain basic skills areas.
All
instruction in the School of Arts and Sciences addresses one or more outcomes and uses a
variety of assessments to determine a student’s progress in developing the knowledge
and abilities necessary to demonstrate that he or she has achieved the outcomes.
Bachelor of Arts in Middle Level Education (B.A.)

The B.A. in
Teacher Education is designed to lead to licensure/certification in Middle Childhood
Education. Majors in this program will select concentrations from among the four areas of
mathematics, science, language arts, and social studies to complement education components
that are field-based. Faculty members from
the departments of the School of Arts and Sciences teach the subject area courses. Practicing education professionals teach the
field-based courses. Students may also take
the first two years of study toward teacher certification in other teaching fields.
Introduction. The B.A. teacher
education program has been developed through a collaborative partnership of classroom
teachers, education experts, and Clayton State University faculty. The Clayton State University teacher
education program is maintained in partnership with six county school systems in the
University’s primary service area—Clayton, Fayette, Fulton, Henry, Rockdale, and
Spalding. All on-site education experiences
will be provided by these systems. The Middle
Level Education Advisory Council serves as an external advisory group for teacher
education.
Accreditation. Clayton State University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools. The Professional Education Unit is accredited by the
National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the Professional
Standards Commission of the State of Georgia (PSC).
Professional Education Outcomes. B.A. students must satisfy the Professional
Education Outcomes, which have been specifically designed to produce graduates who are
well prepared for teaching positions in middle level education. For the listing of outcomes, see the current Handbook for Students in the Middle Level Education Program.
Associate
of Arts in Teacher Education. Students who plan to finish their teacher
education programs at other institutions can complete the first two years at Clayton State University and earn an A.A. degree.
Such students should follow the transfer option in Area F listed below for the B.A.
ADMISSION TO THE TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAM
Admission to
the teacher education program is separate from and in addition to admission to the
University. Enrollment in the Bachelor of
Arts degree program in teacher education is limited, and students must meet the
eligibility standards listed below to be considered for admission. The program will fill available slots with those
eligible students who, in the judgment of the faculty, are most likely to be successful. Since enrollment is limited, meeting the minimum
requirements for admission eligibility does not guarantee
admission to the program.
The upper
division courses in Middle Level Education involve considerable on-site activity in
authentic school settings, so students who enter the program must have daytime scheduling
flexibility. Students are responsible for
providing their own transportation and liability insurance, at their own expense. Students must execute a waiver of liability form.
Because courses are offered in sequence and are not
available every semester, junior-senior students must be willing to commit to full-time attendance in order to stay on track for
graduation. Most junior/senior/level
on-site education experiences will be scheduled in the morning hours. Subject content
courses may be scheduled morning, afternoon, or evening, depending upon availability of
facilities and faculty.
APPLICATION
AND MINIMUM ADMISSION ELIGIBILITY STANDARDS
(See heading below for application procedures.)
Criteria for Submission of Teacher Education Application
Students must
meet the following criteria before submitting their applications for admission to the
upper division portion of the program in teacher education.
(More information about the application is available at general information

2. Completion of all courses in Areas A-F of the Core Curriculum
with grades of A, B, C, or K.
3. Maintenance of
the 2.50 or better Program Grade Point Average as explained above.
NOTE: Students who fail to sustain the grade point
average criteria, after notification of acceptance but before they actually begin taking
courses in the teacher education program, will have their admission revoked. Upon written request, such students will be
reconsidered when they again meet the eligibility criteria.
4. Teacher education
writing assessment with at least a minimum writing profile (currently 555-555-4 on Clayton State University
rating scale). Contact the Office of Teacher
Education for information about the writing assessment.
5. Passing both the
reading and writing portions of the Regents' Testing Program. (See the Graduation Requirements chapter of this
catalog.)
6. Competence in
oral communication and significant documented experience working with children. (This requirement is met by Core Curriculum course

spreadsheets. Students proficient in the use
of microcomputers may complete the self-evaluation form available in the Office of Teacher
Education. Competence also may be documented by completion of an approved credit or
non-credit course.
8. Attendance at a
general information session and/or personal interview.
(Contact the Office of Teacher Education for specific dates of information
sessions.)
9. Completion of the
Praxis I test. The Georgia Professional Standards Commission
(GPSC) has adopted the following policy: "Students
will be required to pass all sections (reading, writing, mathematics) of an academic
skills test prior to entry into the preparation program for their initial educator
certificate beginning July 1, 1997." The
assessment is PRAXIS I: Academic Skills Assessment, developed and administered by the
Educational Testing Service (ETS). Contact
the Office of Teacher Education for further information.
(Note: Testing requirements will be updated in accordance with GPSC regulations.)
10. Signing of an affidavit to show
compliance with Professional Standards Commission Standard II.A. (G10): "The education unit/program shall provide
information to each candidate about professional ethical standards, background check, and
clearance for certification and employment; and ensure that candidates admitted to the
program are persons whose social and ethical behavior is acceptable as an educator."
The affidavit form is provided upon formal notification of admission to the B.A. program.
11. A one-page essay on why the
candidate wants to teach.
12. A background check. (Conducted by Clayton State University Public Safety. Note: A $10.00 processing fee is required.)
APPLICATION
PROCEDURES
1. Students who meet the
criteria explained above should submit a teacher education application form and supporting
documentation to the Clayton State University Office of Teacher Education. (Application forms are available from the Office
of Teacher Education.)
2. The application deadline for
the Teacher Education program is posted in the Office of Teacher Education. (The deadline
period is called an admission cycle.)
a. All complete and
eligible applications received by the published deadlines will be considered for the
available positions in the program for the appropriate semester. (Complete applications
must include all required documentation. The
date that an application is completed is not a factor in the admission decision process
for applications received by the deadline.)
b. Students not admitted during
a given admission cycle and students who fall below minimum standards after notification
of admission may, upon written request to the teacher education program, have their
applications reconsidered during the next admission cycle. Reconsideration is not
automatic; written request is required, and additional information may be submitted.
c. Students
may submit their applications for Fall Semester admission between September 1 and the last
Friday in May. Any applications received
after the June deadline will be placed on a waiting list in the event a slot in the
program becomes available.
3. Students selected for
admission during each admission cycle will be notified in writing. The admission notice will indicate a date by which
the student must formally accept or decline admission; students who fail to respond within
the allotted time will have their admission offers revoked, and their spaces will be
allotted to other eligible applicants. Students admitted into the B.A. program will be
assigned to an advisor in education and in the primary area of concentration.
4. A maximum of 21 semester
hours of upper division transfer credit may be applied to the B.A. in teacher education at
Clayton State University. The
following courses must be taken at Clayton State University: LART 3120, MATH
3010, SCI 3110, SOSC 3110, EDUC 3000, 3010, 3350, 4000, 4711, 4712, 4713, 4714, 4715,
4716. The teacher education program will evaluate equivalencies for other courses in the
program. Every effort will be made to accept credit that is reasonably equivalent to
Clayton State University courses. However,
the University reserves the right to request additional documentation and/or to require
specific site-based experiences or directed readings to validate credit and/or to meet
certification requirements. Applicants will
be notified in writing of such requirements.
PROGRAM
WRITING REQUIREMENTS
The teacher
education program places high emphasis on the ability of graduates to communicate
effectively. Accordingly, these skills are
assessed and monitored throughout the program, and academic support is provided.
As stipulated
in the Application and Admission Eligibility Standards section, all students applying to
enter the program are assessed on writing using the Clayton State University
Writing Criteria. Students have two opportunities to complete this assessment successfully
(minimum score 555-555-4 on Clayton State University rating scale). If
a student's scores indicate a weakness in some area, provisional admission status may be
granted.
Students’
writing skills will be reassessed in Language Arts (LART 3120) during the first semester
of enrollment. This course assessment includes multiple writing tasks and will provide
students with a writing profile with criterion-referenced feedback. If a student's writing profile for this course is
below the required program writing level of 39 with no area below 5, the student will be
required to take Writing Skills Laboratory II (WLAB 2999) concurrently with LART 3120.
This requirement for additional individualized help in writing will be in effect
regardless of the student's grade in LART 3120 or other courses. Continuous enrollment in WLAB 2999 is required
until the student has achieved the designated teacher education program writing profile as
stated above. Through writing experiences in other teacher education courses and
assistance in the Center for Learning Enhancement, the student's writing skills should
continue to improve. Obtaining the required
profile is a prerequisite for EDUC 4711 (fall semester of senior year internship).
PROGRAM
PROGRESSION
In order to
be placed in the senior year internship, which begins in August and follows the school
calendars of the six partnership school districts, students must have in place the
following:
1. A cumulative Program GPA of
2.50 or higher.
2. A
cumulative Institutional GPA of 2.50 or higher.
3. Completion
of each course in the program sequence with a grade of C or higher (or K).
4. Successful completion of the
program writing profile.
5. Endorsement of the junior
year internship by the Arts & Sciences faculty and the clinical faculty.
Note: Course overloads will not be
permitted during enrollment in the full-time senior
internship.
PROGRAM PROBATION AND SUSPENSION
General
University policies on good standing and academic and disciplinary probation and
suspension apply to the teacher education program (except that for teacher education the
standard is a 2.50 cumulative Program GPA on all attempts of courses taken to meet program
requirements rather than the 2.00 Institutional GPA).
Due to the sensitive nature of working with children in authentic school settings,
the following additional standard applies: Any
faculty member or administrator of the University and/or a cooperating school system may immediately remove a student from an on-site
setting if, in that person's professional judgment, the student has acted in an
inappropriate manner involving children. The
Coordinator for Educational Field Experiences and/or the Coordinator for Middle Level
Education will investigate the case in an expeditious manner. The coordinator will issue a written ruling to the
student with copies to the Dean of Arts and Sciences and the Vice President for Academic
Affairs. Depending on the circumstances, the
ruling may include exoneration, admonishment, probation, suspension of reasonable
duration, or dismissal. Appeals may be
initiated according to established University Academic Appeal policy.
GRADUATION
REQUIREMENTS
All general
Clayton State University requirements for graduation with a baccalaureate
degree apply. In addition, the B.A. in
Teacher Education with a Major in Middle Level Education requires the following:
1. Grades of A, B, C, or K
in all courses used to meet program requirements and a minimum 2.50 Program GPA.
2. Minimum of 55 hours in
residence at Clayton State University, including the following courses: LART
3120, MATH 3010, SCI 3110, SOSC 3110, EDUC 3000, 3010, 3350, 4000, 4711, 4712, 4713, 4714,
4715, 4716.
3. Submission of a complete
teacher education portfolio and exit portfolio assessment prepared in accordance with
published guidelines to establish that the Professional Education Outcomes have been met.
4. Participation in
examinations, surveys, and any other required activities administered for purposes of
program evaluation and program exit.
NOTE: Successful completion of all required sections of PRAXIS II is necessary in
order to be certified to teach in the state of Georgia.
However, students are not required to take and pass all sections of Praxis II as a
graduation requirement.
TEACHER
CERTIFICATION
In Georgia,
to receive certification to teach, individuals must document having met criteria endorsed
by the Professional Standards Commission, including successful completion of PRAXIS II. Application forms to apply for Georgia
certification are available in the Office of Teacher Education. It is the applicant's responsibility to request
the application and complete the submissions process. The application, a completed
recommendation form, and official transcript from all colleges and universities attended
must be submitted to the Professional Standards Commission in a single package.

Program Description: The Integrative
Studies program provides the opportunity for a student to work with an advisor to design a
curriculum that meets the student’s career and educational needs. This flexibility enables students to develop
academic programs that meet the ever-changing requirements of the world of work. A bachelor’s degree in Integrative Studies
can also be designed to prepare students for graduate school in certain disciplines and
professions. The associate degree can be
earned upon the completion of Areas A-F. (If
the majority of upper division and/or Area F courses earned in the degree program are from
the humanities and social sciences, the degree will be an A.A. or a B.A.; otherwise, the
degree will be an A.S. or a B.S.)
The
Integrative Studies program requires students to develop and focus their programs of study
with special seminars and internships. Students
are encouraged to take some of their courses from other universities through cross
registration in the Atlanta Regional Consortium for Higher Education (A.R.C.H.E.).
Student Advisement and Upper Division
Program Admission: All students choosing the Integrative Studies program must consult
an Integrative Studies advisor; self-advising is not allowed. Individual programs of study for the baccalaureate
degree must be approved by the program coordinator (based on the advisor’s
recommendation). Some curriculum plans have
been pre-approved as tracks, but the student still must contact an advisor to confirm the
program. (See the section below for information about tracks.)
In order to be admitted to the upper division level of
the Integrative Studies program and participate in seminars and internships, a student
must have an institutional grade point average of at least 2.50. For additional details, consult an Integrative
Studies advisor in A&S 105-I (770-960-2100).
Integrative
Studies Curriculum Pre-Approved Plans: In
addition to customized plans, several pre-approved plans are available for Integrative
Studies students who have particular career or educational plans in mind. These focused plans are coordinated by the
appropriate department of the School of Arts & Sciences as indicated:
· Professional
Science (Natural Sciences)
· General
Liberal Arts and Arts Administration (Humanities)
· Governmental
Community Service, International Studies, Ministerial and Community Development, and
Pre-Law (Social Sciences).
American
Humanics Certification:
Clayton State University is affiliated with American Humanics, Inc., an
alliance of colleges, universities, and nonprofit institutions that prepares
undergraduates for careers in nonprofit agency management with youth and human service
organizations. The vision of American
Humanics is to be "the nation's preferred source of entry-level youth and human
service nonprofit professionals." Integrative
Studies students can earn American Humanics certification by completing certain specified
courses and other activities. American
Humanics certification is available in several majors but is especially well suited to
Integrative Studies. (Students majoring in
Psychology and Human Services, Management, Marketing, Accounting, General Business,
Administrative Management, Allied Health Administration, Health Care Management, and other
majors can also add American Humanics certification to their majors.)
Students
who already hold a bachelor's degree can also earn post-baccalaureate American Humanics
Certification by taking specified courses and completing other requirements. For additional information, contact the American
Humanics coordinator at 770-961-3470.

addition to a highly qualified full-time faculty, Clayton State University employs outstanding musicians from
metropolitan Atlanta as part-time faculty in various specialty fields.
MUSIC BUSINESS OPTION
The Music Department is also responsible for advising students in the
Music/Business track of the B.A. in Integrative Studies.
Consult the section above on Integrative Studies for details about this
interdisciplinary major.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR MUSIC MAJORS
Students who wish to major in music must
audition for members of the music faculty. Audition
dates are available from the office of the Department of Music. Entering students should also take a theory
placement test. A candidacy examination must
be passed before students may enroll in certain 4000-level music courses. Music students must take the official departmental
writing assessment in the music history sequence. Students
who fail to make a satisfactory score will be required to enroll in WLAB 2999 and remain
enrolled each term until they have earned a grade of C.
To graduate with a B.A. or B.M. degree, students must demonstrate proficiency in
keyboard skills, in ear training, and in performance (including junior and senior recitals
for the B.M. degree) and must attend performances and forums. The B.A. degree requires successful completion of
the music capstone.
The Music Department Handbook should be
consulted for details of these requirements.
Associate of Arts Degree: The Associate of Arts degree may be awarded upon
completion of Areas A-F and fulfillment of other graduation requirements.
