2002-2003 Academic Catalog Chapter 6 - Publications

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.

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 sessions. Contact the Office of Teacher Education about the dates of these information sessions.)

Admission to Clayton State University. (Transfer students who meet the criteria below may simultaneously submit applications for the University and for teacher education program admission -- two separate application forms.)
Completion of at least 45 semester hours of college credit.
Grades of A, B, C, or K in all applicable Area A-F courses.
A Program Grade Point Average of 2.50 based upon all coursework attempted in Areas A-F.

Eligibility to Begin Taking Upper Division Courses in the Teacher Education Program

Written notification of program acceptance. (Meeting minimum admission standards does not guarantee acceptance.)
Completion of all courses in Areas A-F of the Core Curriculum with grades of A, B, C, or K.
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.
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.
Passing both the reading and writing portions of the Regents' Testing Program. (See the Graduation Requirements chapter of this catalog.)
Competence in oral communication and significant documented experience working with children. (This requirement is met by Core Curriculum course requirements at Clayton State University, equivalent transfer course experiences, career exploration activities, or other documented experiences.)
Minimum competence in microcomputer applications including keyboarding, word processing, and 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.
Attendance at a general information session and/or personal interview. (Contact the Office of Teacher Education for specific dates of information sessions.)
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.)
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.
A one-page essay on why the candidate wants to teach.
A background check. (Conducted by Clayton State University Public Safety. Note: A $10.00 processing fee is required.)

APPLICATION PROCEDURES

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.)
The application deadline for the Teacher Education program is posted in the Office of Teacher Education. (The deadline period is called an admission cycle.)
1. 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.)
2. 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.
3. 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.
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.
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:

A cumulative Program GPA of 2.50 or higher.
A cumulative Institutional GPA of 2.50 or higher.
Completion of each course in the program sequence with a grade of C or higher (or K).
Successful completion of the program writing profile.
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:

Grades of A, B, C, or K in all courses used to meet program requirements and a minimum 2.50 Program GPA.
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.
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.
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).

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 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.

Department of Humanities

William A. Pasch, Department Head

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

Full-time Faculty: Barnett, Corse, Durden, Jackson, Legge, Martin, Pasch, Sellers, Spence, Swofford.

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, Journalism/Mass Communication, Philosophy, Spanish, Speech, and Theater.
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 above 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:

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.
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.
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.

Core Curriculum for Transfer Program

ASSOCIATE OF ARTS (A.A.) AND ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE (A.S.) AREAS A-F

INTRODUCTION

Clayton State University offers the first sixty credit hours of study (freshman and sophomore years) in a wide variety of majors for which Clayton State University does not currently offer baccalaureate degrees. In most of these fields, the program of study approved by the University System of Georgia guarantees that students who complete Areas A-F of the core curriculum in a given major at Clayton State University will be able to apply all courses to that major at any other state university in Georgia.

Students who complete Areas A-F in a listed program of study and who fulfill all graduation requirements specified in this catalog will be awarded an Associate of Arts (A.A.) or Associate of Science (A.S.) degree.

It is important to be aware that an A.A. or A.S. with a major (program of study) in a given field does not prepare the graduate for employment in that field. A.A. and A.S. degrees are intended only to prepare students to complete the baccalaureate degree in the field.

Students who complete the core curriculum (or Areas thereof) at Clayton State University are guaranteed that all courses will apply toward graduation in the same major at any other institution of the University System of Georgia. Students who have difficulty with transfer acceptance of core courses within the System should contact the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs (Transfer Ombudsman) in ADM-28, 770-961-3538.

Students who plan to complete their baccalaureate degrees outside the University System of Georgia should consult the academic catalogs of the institutions they plan to attend in order to determine which courses to take at Clayton State University during their freshman and sophomore years.

Integrative Studies Option: Students who are interested in some transfer programs listed below may find that the Clayton State University bachelor’s degree program in Integrative Studies will serve their career needs and allow them to remain at Clayton State University for their junior and senior years. See the Integrative Studies section of this chapter or consult the Integrative Studies advisor (A&S-105-I) for further information.

GENERAL EDUCATION CORE CURRICULUM COURSES

AREAS A-E (For A.A., A.S., and Undeclared Students)

The general education core curriculum is composed of five parts, identified as Areas A-E:

Area A: Composition and Mathematics (Essential Skills)

Area B: Critical Thinking and Communication Skills (Institutional Option)

Area C: Humanities

Area D: Natural Sciences and Mathematics

Area E: Social Sciences

The general education core is designed to be as “major-free” as possible, and Areas C and E are the same for all listed majors. Areas A and D, on the other hand, vary because some programs of study have more intensive natural science and/or mathematics requirements. The number of hours taken in Area D will affect Area B. For some majors, certain course choices in Areas A-E may be recommended even if not absolutely required. Please pay careful attention to the requirements and recommendations noted for the program you choose.

Students who have not yet decided on a major need to be aware that their eventual choice may affect what courses are appropriate for Areas A and D. If an undecided student is considering choosing a science- and/or math-intensive major, he or she should take the appropriate courses in Areas A and D. The Counseling and Career Services office (STC-223) is equipped to help students select appropriate majors.

The courses in the General Education Core Curriculum are as follows (prerequisites and corequisites are found in the course description chapter of this catalog):

TRANSFER OF COURSES IN AREAS A-F

Clayton State University normally encourages students to complete the A.A. or A.S. degree prior to transferring, but courses in Areas A-F are guaranteed to transfer and apply toward graduation requirements at all University System of Georgia institutions even if the student does not complete the associate degree or the core curriculum at Clayton State University. The following considerations apply:

Area A: Student must have completed the level of mathematics specified for his or her major.

Areas B-C: No restrictions by major except for number of hours.

Area D: Student must have completed the level of science courses specified for his or her major. (NOTE: Non-science majors may elect a sequence from Area D1 for science.)

Area E: No restrictions by major.

Area F: Transferability and application toward graduation are only guaranteed for courses listed in the specific major.

Notes: (1) In some Area F programs, students take courses in the specific fields (e.g., mathematics or history). In other programs (such as forestry or agriculture), the Area F may be composed of foundation courses in related disciplines with no courses in the specific field itself. (2) There are a few University System of Georgia Area F programs that require courses that Clayton State University does not offer (e.g., geography). In these cases, students are usually advised to transfer without earning an associate degree. However, students in these fields who wish to receive an A.A. or A.S. from Clayton State University may choose a related field, including, in some cases, Integrative Studies. Please contact the head of the advising department for additional information. Students who encounter difficulty with acceptance of transfer courses should contact the Transfer Ombudsperson, Associate VPAA, 770-961-3538.
