      The School of Arts & Sciences is composed of the following units:  

·          Department of Humanities

·          Department of Music

·          Department of Natural Sciences

·          Department of Social Sciences

·          Office of Teacher Education

 

      A primary objective of the School of Arts and Sciences is to offer interdisciplinary baccalaureate programs in four departments: Music, Humanities, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences as well as baccalaureate programs in Teacher Education and Integrative Studies.  The specific programs are as follows:

·          Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Communication and Media Studies (Department of Humanities)

·          Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Music (B.M.) in Composition or in Performance (Department of Music)

·          Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Biology (Department of Natural Sciences)

·          Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in History (Department of Social Sciences

·          Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Psychology and Human Services (Department of Social Sciences).

·          Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Integrative Studies (Department of Humanities)

·          Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Middle Level Education (Office of Teacher Education)

 

      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.

 

      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.

 

 

 

 

Department of Humanities

 

 

William A. Pasch, Department Head 

(A&S-210), 770-961-3499, http://a-s.clayton.edu/humanities/

 

Full-time Faculty: Barnett, Durden, Hovind, Jackson, Ludley, Pasch, Sellers, Spence, Swofford, Walkup, Walsh.

 

    The Department of Humanities offers instruction in communication, humanities, languages, literature, philosophy, and the fine and performing arts.  The department is responsible for the following programs and courses:

·   The Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Media Studies.

·   Service courses that support Teacher Education, Music, and Integrative Studies and that may serve other programs as general electives.

·   Area F courses for the Associate of Arts (A.A.) transfer programs in the following fields: Art, English, French, Philosophy, and Spanish.

·   Some courses in Areas A and B and all courses in Area C of the Core Curriculum.

    The Department also coordinates the Integrative Studies Program, which allows a student, with the approval of an IS advisor, to design a personalized program of study.  (Information about the Integrative Studies tracks advised by the Department of Humanities as well as by other departments in the School of Arts & Sciences is available in the section below on the Integrative Studies Program.) 

    The transfer programs administered by the Department of Humanities are detailed below in the section on Core Curriculum for Transfer Programs.

 

 

 

Communication and Media Studies Bachelor of Arts  (B.A.)

 

 

The Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Media Studies (CMSS) equips graduates with a solid theoretical and historical understanding of human communication, combined with practical skills in professional writing and speaking. The degree balances an emphasis on the traditional liberal arts with recognition of the shaping roles played by communication media in the transmission of human culture. Following completion of a core sequence stressing aesthetics, digital technologies, ethics, and communication, students select from electives in multimedia production, media studies, literature, international languages, writing, and related fields. In addition, students gain work experience through required internships in a variety of settings, including the mass media; corporate departments of communication, training, and marketing; the graphic arts; advertising; and public relations.  In sum, the Communication and Media Studies curriculum produces exceptional speakers and writers who are fluent in the aesthetic, ethical, social, and technological dimensions of professional communication. 

 

Program Requirements for the Bachelor of Arts (B. A.) in Communication and Media Studies (CMSS)

 

Students seeking the B.A. in Communication and Media Studies must meet all University admission, academic progression, and graduation requirements (see the Graduation Requirements section in the catalog).  While no additional requirements exist for entering the CMSS degree program, students should be aware of the following degree progression requirements:

 

1.       Because professional-quality writing and speaking skills will be required of all graduates earning the B.A. in CMSS, program-entry assessments of writing and speaking skills will be administered in junior-level required courses ENGL 3900 (Professional and Technical Writing) and COMM 3100 (Professional Speaking), respectively.  Either at this point of entry or at any other time prior to their being allowed to register for the senior seminar, CMSS 4500, students who demonstrate less than satisfactory writing skills (as determined by the CMSS program faculty) may be required to enroll in WLAB 2999 (as many times as necessary) and to remain enrolled until demonstrating that the writing deficiencies have been remediated.  Students with similar deficiencies in speaking skills may be required to enroll either in WLAB 2999 or in other appropriate non-graduation-credit remediation.

2.       Program exit assessments in writing and speaking skills will be administered in the senior seminar, CMSS 4500 (Global Contexts in Communication and Media Studies).  In order to earn a grade of C or higher in CMSS 4500, CMSS students will need to pass these assessments.  Students who need to repeat CMSS 4500 may additionally be required to co-enroll in WLAB 2999 or to enroll in other remedial instruction as appropriate.

3.       CMSS students must pass the following program-required courses with grades of C or higher:  CMSS 3101, CMSS 3200, CMSS 3901, CMSS 4500, COMM 3100, ENGL 3900, ENGL 3901, PHIL 3301.  To their other upper division degree requirements, students may apply no more than six hours of courses in which they earned grades of D.

Full-time Faculty: Amos, Arrell, Graves, Hoover, Otaki and Zeller.

 

INTRODUCTION

      The Department of Music offers the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Music with majors in Composition or Performance.  The Performance major includes emphases in Instrumental Performance, Vocal Performance, and Keyboard Performance.  All music majors have access to free tickets to performances and master classes in the University's highly regarded Spivey Hall.  Majors also have opportunities to perform in the hall.  In 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 also must take placement tests in music theory, aural skills, and piano.  A qualifying 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.
