Mission
At the center of Indiana University Northwest is the College of Arts and Sciences. Providing a broad education in the arts and sciences, the college prepares students through study in major disciplines for careers of their choice and for lives as educated, critical, and inquiring citizens in a world of rapid change.
At the core of our many programs, some unique to the region, are the analytical, cognitive, and expressive skills needed to assimilate and advance knowledge. An arts and sciences education focuses on an understanding of the human condition—past and present—and the world in which we live. It emphasizes a humanistic and esthetic appreciation of cultural life as well as valuing of science and its methodology in which intellect, logical processes, ethical perspectives, and problem solving are key. The strong research and creative activities of our faculty encourage students toward a life of learning and reflection.
Intrinsic to a liberal education is preparing graduates to appreciate, contribute to, and thrive in a diverse, culturally rich, technologic and scientifically advanced society with a compelling history, and a promising future, and a capacity for transformation. Through our teaching, research, creative arts, and professional and community services, we engage in the vitality of northwest Indiana. An informed, educated population is not only democracy's strongest, best hope, it is also society's wisest investment. That, more than anything else, is the endeavor of the faculty and staff of the College of Arts and Sciences.
At present the college consists of 16 departments offering baccalaureate degrees in the following areas: actuarial science, Afro-American studies, biology, chemistry, computer information systems, economics, English, fine arts, French, geology, history, mathematics, communication, philosophy, political science, psychology, sociology, Spanish, and theatre. Courses are offered in all of those fields plus anthropology, astronomy, Canadian studies, comparative literature, computer science, geography, German, journalism, Latino studies, linguistics, music, physics, religious studies, telecommunications, and women's studies.
In addition to undergraduate education leading to the bachelor's degree, which prepares students for citizenship as well as for professional training and graduate study, the programs of the College of Arts and Sciences provide students in allied health sciences, business, continuing studies, dental auxiliary education, education, nursing, and public and environmental affairs with courses that are a foundation for those professional programs.
The Associate of Arts degree provides alternatives to traditional baccalaureate degrees for students who are unable to complete four-year programs because of other commitments or responsibilities.
A postbaccalaureate certificate in computer information systems is offered for students with baccalaureate degrees in another discipline who wish to complement their undergraduate education with course work similar to the requirement for a Bachelor of Science degree in computer information systems.
Academic Regulations and Policies
Students in the College of Arts and Sciences are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the General Academic Regulations and Policies section of this bulletin.
Entering the College of Arts and Sciences
Incoming freshmen generally are admitted to and provided counseling by University Division at Indiana University Northwest, or admitted directly to the College of Arts and Sciences. Freshmen are encouraged to visit departments in which they are interested to discuss possible programs with faculty and advisors. Additional information is available in the College of Arts and Sciences offices, Tamarack Hall, Room 55.
Admission: General Requirements
The following requirements pertain to Indiana University Northwest only. Students contemplating transfer to other campuses should consult the appropriate bulletins and the IU Care electronic advising system.
Baccalaureate Degrees
A faculty member from the student's major department provides academic counseling for each student in the College of Arts and Sciences prior to each semester's enrollment. Although academic counseling is intended to provide effective guidance and every student is encouraged to seek the counsel of a faculty advisor, all students are responsible for planning their own programs and for meeting the following degree requirements by the time they expect to graduate. Students who have been awarded a baccalaureate degree cannot at a later date change the degree to include additional majors and/or minors. (Note: Degree requirements are not the same at every campus of Indiana University.)
Students who have been away from Indiana University for at least five years and who earned grades that make it impossible or very difficult to return to a College of Arts and Sciences degree program, may petition for a "restart." Under a restart, the College of Arts and Sciences will establish a new degree record for the student that will consist of courses previously taken that were completed with a minimum grade of C. Note that all Indiana University coursework will remain on the student's permanent record (the university transcript); this policy will affect only the student's College of Arts and Sciences record.
Students will be eligible for consideration for this policy if it has been a minimum of five years since full-time or continuous part-time enrollment. Students will need to provide evidence that would indicate a significant change in their ability to succeed in academic work. Reevaluation of fundamental skills may be necessary before the student can proceed. Students should petition for a restart as part of the readmission process. They are held to the deadlines for submission of readmission petitions (June 20 for fall semester; October 1 for spring semester; and March 1 for summer sessions).
Interdepartmental majors are available to students who wish to combine two disciplines or subjects into an interdepartmental concentration area. Such students are required to complete a minimum of 40 credit hours in the interdepartmental major. Students must also fulfill the following requirements:
Normally the holder of a baccalaureate degree who wishes to pursue a further educational goal is encouraged to become qualified for admission to a graduate degree program. In certain cases, however, the dean may admit a baccalaureate degree holder to candidacy for a second baccalaureate degree. When such admission is granted, candidates must earn at least 26 additional credits-in-residence and meet the requirements of the College of Arts and Sciences and of the department in which they are candidates.
Recognition for excellence in scholarship is awarded at graduation by identifying such students in three categories of distinction. These are, with their corresponding minimum overall grade point averages: distinction (3.60), high distinction (3.75), highest distinction (3.89). The number of students so recognized will not exceed 10 percent of the graduating class in the college for that year. Students considered for this recognition must have completed at least 60 graded credit hours at Indiana University.
Omicron Sigma Delta is a liberal arts scholastic honorary society based on the same criteria as those used by the prestigious national honorary scholastic society, Phi Beta Kappa. Candidates are selected from the college's juniors and seniors on the basis of high scholarship and good character.
The College of Arts and Sciences at Indiana University Northwest offers instruction leading to degrees in the following majors:
Afro-American studies
Introductory courses are offered in the following disciplines:
Anthropology
The curriculum for the B.A. degree introduces the student to a variety of subjects that provide the fundamentals of a liberal education; enable the student to make an intelligent choice of a subsequent field of concentration; aid the student in securing adequate preparation for advanced work; and provide for some degree of specialization in the junior and senior years.
Specific Requirements
In addition to the general requirements for all degrees in the college, candidates for the B.A. degree must complete Groups I-V of the distribution requirements. Students may elect to follow the requirements currently in effect or the requirements that were in effect when they matriculated.
Group I: English Composition and Mathematics
English composition
Group II: Foreign Language
The College of Arts and Sciences entrance requirement is two courses at the 100 level in a foreign language. Students admitted to arts and sciences without this background will be required to make up the deficiency. The requirement may be met by examination or by successful completion of the course taken. (Two years of good high school work in a foreign language should enable a student to place out of the first 8 credit hours and into 200-level courses.) Preferably, placement is determined by the score obtained on the College Board Achievement Test administered during the student's senior year in high school.
The B.A. degree requirement of foreign language may be fulfilled in the following ways:
Special Credit as a Result of Placement Test
Proficiency Examinations
Foreign Students
Group III: Distribution
Students must take 12 credit hours outside of their major discipline in each of the three categories from at least two disciplines within each category. No more than 9 credit hours within a single discipline will be counted for Group III credit.
A complete list of courses that fulfill these requirements is located at the end of the Arts and Sciences section of the bulletin.
A. Mathematics, physical sciences, geography, and life sciences
Anthropology
A student must take at least one science course in Group IIIA that includes a laboratory.
B. Social and behavioral sciences
Afro-American studies
C. Humanities
Afro-American studies
A student must take at least one studio arts/ performing arts/creative writing course in the humanities.
Group IV: Western Civilization and Culture Studies
Courses used to fulfill the Group IV requirements cannot be used to fulfill the Group III requirement.
May be fulfilled by:
No later than the first semester of the junior year, students should plan a tentative outline of the program in their major with their advisors in the department of their major.
The following are minimum requirements for any major. Further and detailed requirements are to be found in the departmental statements in this bulletin. The specific departmental requirements that must be fulfilled by each student are those published in the bulletin current at the time the major is declared, or those in the bulletin current at the time of graduation, whichever the student chooses.
For procedure regarding change of major, see the assistant to the dean.
A minor shall consist of at least 15 credit hours with a grade of C- or better and a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 in the minor field. (A minimum of two courses totaling at least 6 credit hours must be taken while in residence at IUN.)
Students in one department (e.g., history) may satisfy requirements for a minor in another department (e.g., anthropology). Students may have more than one minor. Students' major(s) and minor(s) may be listed on their transcripts. Students must advise the recorder in the College of Arts and Sciences of the minor(s) and receive advisement from the minor department. Students who have been awarded a baccalaureate degree cannot at a later date change the degree to include additional majors and/or minors.
The Department of Communication requires a minor; students in communication should check with their advisor about the requirements for a minor.
The following minors are available in the College of Arts and Sciences:
Afro-American studies
The College of Arts and Sciences at Indiana University Northwest offers instruction leading to Bachelor of Science degrees in the following majors:
Actuarial science
In addition to the general requirements for baccalaureate degrees in the college, candidates for the B.S. degree must complete the group requirements as follows:
Students must take 3 credit hours of capstone course work: either in the student's major or in one of the Group III categories in one of the Group III interdisciplinary capstone courses. The course may also be counted toward fulfilling other arts and sciences degree requirements (e.g., distribution, major, 300-400 level). Consult departmental advisors for details. (See Bachelor of Arts requirements for listing of available minors.)
The College of Arts and Sciences at Indiana University Northwest offers instruction leading to Associate of Arts degrees in the following concentrations: Afro-American studies, anthropology, biology, chemistry, communication, computer information systems, English, fine arts, French, geology, history, Latino studies, mathematics, philosophy, physics, psychology, sociology, Spanish, theatre and Women's Studies.
General Requirements
Group I: English Composition and Mathematics
English Composition
Two foreign language courses at the 100 level or higher.
Group III: Distribution
A student must take 6 credit hours from category A, 9 credit hours from category B, and 9 credit hours from category C. None of those credit hours may be in the concentration discipline but must be from at least two disciplines within each category.
A complete list of courses that fulfill the requirements listed below is located at the end of the Arts and Sciences section of the bulletin:
Group IV: Western Civilization
May be fulfilled by completing satisfactorily the 6 credit hour sequence, HIST H113-HIST H114.
Group V: Concentration
A minimum of 15 and a maximum of 18 credit hours in one arts and sciences discipline. Consult departmental listings for specific requirements. (These credits cannot count toward fulfillment of Group III requirements.)
Group VI: Electives
Sufficient electives to meet the 60 credit hour minimum of the A.A. degree. Those electives may be chosen from courses offered in the College of Arts and Sciences or from other degree-granting divisions of the university.
Academic Work outside the College of Arts and Sciences
A candidate for a baccalaureate degree in the College of Arts and Sciences must complete satisfactorily at least 105 credit hours in courses in the College of Arts and Sciences unless a student pursues a minor or a certificate in another division of the university that grants degrees. If so, the 105 credit hour minimum in Arts and Sciences may be reduced sufficiently to allow the student to fulfill the minimum number of credit hours for the other division's minor or certificate, providing that all other Arts and Sciences requirements are met. If no such non-Arts-and-Sciences minor or certificate is pursued, the remaining 15 credit hours may be taken in the College of Arts and Sciences or in divisions of the university that grant degrees. Only courses that count toward a degree are acceptable.
Each department has a faculty member assigned to advise students about graduate school and career opportunities. Information regarding preprofessional programs is available on pp. 43-45 of the bulletin. Additional information is available in the office of the College of Arts and Sciences.
COAS J151, a course in career exploration and development, is offered under the auspices of the College of Arts and Sciences. This course is open to all students and is recommended to incoming freshmen who are unsure of their educational goals. COAS W398, an internship course, is also available.
The rest of this section of the bulletin gives detailed information about the degree programs, majors, minors, concentrations, and courses offered by the College of Arts and Sciences. Frequently, the semesters in which courses are usually offered are indicated. In the course descriptions, the abbreviation "P" refers to course prerequisites, which are requirements that must be met before enrolling in the course. The abbreviation "R" identifies courses that are recommended but not necessary for enrollment in the course. Consent of the instructor is an implicit prerequisite for all courses in the college.

About the Department of Biology
The Department of Biology offers an interdisciplinary program leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree, the Bachelor of Science degree, or the Associate of Arts degree. The curriculum provides academic instruction in the major fields of biology and, at the same time, allows sufficient flexibility to accommodate the various needs and interests of individual students. Courses are available for students interested in the cultural value of biology, for those who intend to continue with graduate work, and for those who want preprofessional training in the medical sciences (premedical, predental, and allied health sciences).
Prerequisites for all advanced courses in biology include BIOL L101 and BIOL L102 or equivalent. No advanced courses may be taken until BIOL L211 and BIOL L311 have been completed. BIOL L211 may be taken concurrently with BIOL L102.
Several courses at the 300-400 level carry graduate credit under certain circumstances. Consult the Indiana University Graduate School Bulletin for details.
The Department of Biology maintains a chapter of Beta Beta Beta, the national honorary society in biology. Students interested in applying for admission should contact the department chairperson.
Return to Department of Biology
Requirements
At least three upper-level (300-400) laboratory courses must be included in the core program. Courses that include a lecture and a laboratory satisfy both the lecture and laboratory requirements. It is strongly recommended that a student's curriculum include representative courses from each of the major kingdoms.
CHEM C105-CHEM C106 and CHEM C125-CHEM C126 are required and should be taken concurrently with BIOL L101 and BIOL L102. Students planning on graduate or professional school should take chemistry through CHEM C344, physics PHYS P201-PHYS P202, mathematics at least through MATH M215, statistics (PSY K300 or equivalent), and a computer language/application course.
BIOL L473 may satisfy the capstone requirement.
Students must also complete the general requirements of the College of Arts and Sciences.
Minors Return to Department of Biology
The Bachelor of Science in Biology degree provides students with a rigorous general background in the field of biology to prepare for graduate or professional school or science-related jobs requiring bachelor's-level training. The more extensive requirements in chemistry, mathematics, and physics have been selected to optimize the student's future opportunities. The degree provides a stronger background in fundamental biology and cognate areas and better prepares the students for research-oriented careers and graduate work in a selected area of biology.
Requirements
In addition to the required biology courses, the student must complete:
Organic Chemistry, CHEM C341, CHEM C342, CHEM C343, and CHEM C344
In addition to the above courses, the student is responsible for fulfilling the general requirements of the Bachelor of Science degree as established by the College of Arts and Sciences.
Return to Department of Biology
Students wanting to minor in the biological sciences are required to take 15-18 credit hours and may elect to have a minor in one of the following fields: biology, environmental biology, microbiology, plant sciences, zoology, or human biology. Courses in these minor areas are to be chosen with the consent of the biology department. Biology majors who satisfactorily complete the environmental biology, plant sciences, microbiology, or zoology options will be considered to have completed a minor concentration in that area. A list of the requirements for the various options may be obtained from the biology office.

Special Programs for Preprofessional Students in the Health Sciences
Students interested in a preprofessional curriculum for medicine, dentistry, optometry, or other health fields should refer to the preprofessional curriculum section in this bulletin and consult with the health professions advisor. No specific major or degree program exists for preprofessional students. Students desiring a B.A. or B.S. degree must consult with the department from which the degree is offered. Most professional schools prefer students who will have completed a B.A. or B.S. degree before actually beginning the professional curriculum.
Return to Department of Biology
The department awards 3 hours of credit with a grade of S for BIOL E112 to students who score a 4 on the advanced placement examination and 6 hours of credit for BIOL E111 and BIOL E112 to students who score a 5 on the advanced placement examination. Students who score 650-690 on the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) exam earn 3 hours of credit for BIOL E112. Students who score 700 or better earn 6 hours of credit for BIOL E111 and BIOL E112. A grade of S in BIOL E111 and BIOL E112 may be earned by passing a departmental exemption examination given the first Wednesday evening of classes each semester. This credit satisfies the introductory course requirements, but carries no laboratory credit. Additional laboratory work, upon a review by the department chairperson, may be recommended to remedy any deficiencies in laboratory skills.
Return to Department of Biology

Major in Chemistry
The chemistry major provides an excellent academic background for graduate school (B.S. or B.A.—ACS degree); for a career as an industrial chemist (B.S. or B.A.—ACS degree); for acceptance into medical, dental, or other professional health-related programs; and for positions in chemical instrument sales or chemically related administrative positions.
B.S. or B.A.—ACS Degree
These degree programs are designed primarily for students planning to go on to graduate school or preparing for careers as industrial chemists. The American Chemical Society certifies these IUN programs. Graduates of these programs will be recommended to the American Chemical Society as having fulfilled requirements of the ACS Committee on Professional Training. The B.S. degree emphasizes science courses as major requirements outside of the major required core; the B.A. emphasizes non-science courses outside of the required major core. The B.S. is set up to enable the student to easily obtain a minor in a related area (see below).
Minimum Degree: Students not receiving the Professional (ACS) degree are encouraged to take as many chemistry courses as possible above the minimum to enhance their professional skills and employment possibilities.

About the Program Return to Department of Communication
The communication program provides students with an opportunity to investigate communication processes as they occur within and among individuals, groups, organizations, and societies. Students analyze the human communication process, develop communication skills, and learn how to facilitate the communication of others. For purposes of organization and utility, courses in speech, communication, journalism, and telecommunications have been combined into a single administrative unit within the department.
The major in communication provides the student with a broad-ranged understanding of human communication processes and the ability to apply basic principles, methods, and findings of human communication research in a variety of settings. The major serves as a foundation for professional fields such as public relations, personnel, sales, and training as well as providing excellent preparation for graduate study in communication, law, the ministry, public administration, and business.
Communication (COMM), Journalism (JOUR), Speech (SPCH), and Telecommunications (TEL) courses are listed in separate sections.
Return to Communication Program
Requirements
Most of the courses fall into one of three informal emphasis areas as follows:
