WSU graduates are broadly educated, capable and prepared for meaningful careers, graduate and professional schools, and civic engagement. The hallmark of the university is excellent teaching with extraordinary interactions between faculty and students. WSU offers a wide and diverse variety of degrees/programs (see Programs Sorted by Degree or Programs Sorted by Major/Minor) - the largest and most expansive undergraduate program in the State of Utah. With a student body of over 25,000 drawn predominantly from Utah, but also including students from 50 states and 47 foreign countries, WSU takes pride in its student-centered environment for learning and believes that quality education is founded upon close associations between faculty and students. WSU is distinguished by outstanding academic programs that recruit motivated students to work with faculty to create and share knowledge. More than fifty academic departments and programs in seven colleges provide learning opportunities for a diverse spectrum of students, including grants and support for undergraduate research, community-based and service learning, an Honors program, and a Bachelor of Integrated Studies (BIS) program. The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) and the Center for Community Engaged Learning help to engage students in learning both inside and outside the classroom, and the Honors program provides small classes in a rich, supportive, and challenging academic setting. The BIS offers students the opportunity to design their own degrees with three areas of academic emphasis meant to prepare them for specific career paths or graduate study. Academic studies are complemented by a wide range of extracurricular activities, including student government, intramural and intercollegiate athletics, and award-winning performing arts groups. In addition, the Student Success Center along with the First Year Experience program helps new students adjust to the university community, while a variety of support services aid those with particular needs. The WSU Ogden campus has 60 buildings on 526 acres that house abundant classrooms and laboratories, excellent student computing facilities, outstanding performing arts auditoriums, a spacious library, and a well-equipped health and fitness center. An area of continued growth is WSU-Davis, which provides instruction to students on a new high-tech campus in Layton. In addition to its Ogden and Davis campuses, WSU offers courses throughout the state and Intermountain West and is a leader in online instruction. Historical Perspective Weber State University was founded in Ogden, Utah, as Weber Stake Academy on January 7, 1889, by the Weber Stake Board of Education of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The 1933 Utah Legislature established Weber College as a state junior college and placed it under the control of the Utah State Board of Education. Following World War II the college outgrew its downtown campus and moved to the present 400-acre site, spectacularly perched on the mountainside overlooking Ogden and the Great Salt Lake. In 1959 the Utah Legislature authorized the addition of upper division courses, leading to award of the first baccalaureate degrees by Weber State College in 1964. The 1969 Legislature created the Utah System of Higher Education, comprising nine public institutions of higher learning, including Weber State College. The system is governed by a State Board of Regents, and each institution has its own Board of Trustees; members of both boards are appointed by the governor. In 1990 the state legislature renamed the institution Weber State University, effective New Year's Day 1991, appropriately symbolizing its role as Utah's premier public, undergraduate university. Mission Statement Weber State University provides associate, baccalaureate and master degree programs in liberal arts, sciences, technical and professional fields. Encouraging freedom of expression and valuing diversity, the university provides excellent educational experiences for students through extensive personal contact among faculty, staff and students in and out of the classroom. Through academic programs, research, artistic expression, public service and community engaged learning, the university serves as an educational, cultural and economic leader for the region. 2 WSU Mission Core Themes Assessment Each of the mission core themes has objectives, indicators of achievement and empirical assessment measures of the indicators.

Although some areas of information are covered in detail, much of the content is presented in a general way. The catalog is not to be considered a binding contract between Weber State and any student or other institution. Weber State reserves the right to change its 4 regulations or course offerings as conditions require during the period of any student's attendance. Students should refer to the official schedule of classes online which is available before and during registration each semester. Assessment at WSU WSU routinely conducts campus-based studies of student attitudes, student achievement, student satisfaction, and personal, professional and career development. These studies are grouped under the heading of student outcomes assessment. Each WSU student is expected to participate in outcomes assessment. While every student is not selected for participation in every activity, it is likely that an individual student will be involved in one or more assessment activities during the college years. It is only through cooperative participation in the assessment process that WSU can better understand itself and better serve its students. For more information on outcomes assessment at WSU, contact the Office of Academic Affairs, MAB 306, 801-626-6006, http://www.weber.edu/assessment. Non-Discrimination Policy Statement Weber State University is committed to protecting the personal rights of all responsible students and employees by providing an environment free from harassment and other forms of discrimination based upon race, color, ethnic background, national origin, religion, creed, age, lack of American citizenship, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation or preference, or gender, including sexual/gender harassment. Such an environment is a necessary part of a healthy learning and working atmosphere. Unlawful discrimination undermines human dignity and the sense of community WSU seeks to foster. Discrimination and harassment are illegal and specifically prohibited by the constitutions, statutes, precedents and regulations of the United States and Utah. It is the policy of the University to vigorously enforce these laws among its students and employees. A grievance procedure is available to enforce this policy. Individuals who believe any of these rights have been violated should review information available at the Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity website (http://weber.edu/aaeo). Note that persons who participate in this grievance procedure in good faith are protected against retaliation for doing so. Questions may also be directed to the Office for Civil Rights, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1961 Stout Street, Room 1185 FOB, Denver, Colorado 80294-3538, Voice Phone 303-844-2024, Fax 303-844-2025, TDD 303-844-3439. Commitment to an Inclusive Community Pivotal to Weber State University's mission is the need to embrace and value the diversity of its members. Acknowledging the uniqueness of each individual, we seek to cultivate an environment that encourages freedom of expression. Because the University is a community where inquiry is nurtured and theories are tested, every individual has the right to feel safe to express ideas that differ from those held by other members of the community. However, all persons who aspire to be part of our campus community must accept the responsibility to demonstrate civility and respect for the dignity of others. Recognizing that the proper balance between freedom of expression and respect for others is not always apparent or easy to achieve, we must continually challenge ourselves and each other in an atmosphere of mutual concern, good will and respect. Therefore, expressions or actions that disparage an individual's or group's ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, marital status, age or disability are contrary to the mission of Weber State University. Exceptions to University Policy All students at Weber State University have the right, with appropriate rationale, to request an exception to University policies or requirements. Help with preparing requests for exceptions can be obtained from the Registrar's Office, SC 101, 801-626-6061, or from the Assistant Dean of Students, Davis Campus Room 261, 801-395-3460.

Spencer Location: Student Services Center, Room 120 Telephone: 801-626-7569 Internet Address: weber.edu/financialaid The Financial Aid Program was established to assist students in achieving educational goals. The following sources of financial aid are available for eligible students: Grants - funds that are considered gifts and do not have to be repaid if satisfactory progress is maintained. Student Loans - funds that are loaned to students and must be repaid. Work-Study - employment opportunities that allow students to earn funds to help pay for school. Each form of financial aid has different regulations. The following is only a brief summary of the financial aid process. Students desiring financial aid should contact the Financial Aid Office as early as possible for guidance and assistance. The priority deadline for financial aid is May 1. General Eligibility Requirements         Meet the admission requirements of WSU as described in the Admissions section of this catalog. (Conditional admission does not qualify for federal aid.) Be enrolled or accepted for enrollment in a program that leads to a degree or certificate at WSU. Be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or other eligible non-citizen. Be registered with the Selective Service, if required. Sign a Statement of Educational Purpose/Certification outlining refund and default penalties. Be in good standing (not in default) on any student loan, federal loan or grant. (Any previous student loans must be within the annual limits.) Maintain satisfactory academic standing. (See Satisfactory Progress.) Have a correct Social Security Number. Types of Financial Aid Available at WSU Grants/Gifts Grants are gifts that do not have to be repaid if satisfactory academic progress is maintained. All grants require a minimum GPA of 2.00 by the end of the second year. All grants require that the student demonstrate a financial need. The types of grants available are: Federal Pell Grant - Available to undergraduate students. Awards may range up to $ 2,887 per semester. Federal SEOG (Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant) - Awarded to help undergraduates pay for their education after high school. Awards may range up to $400 per semester. Student Loans Loans are aid that must be repaid. The types of loan programs available are:   Federal Perkins Loan (formerly National Direct Student Loan) Federal Direct Loan o Subsidized Stafford o Unsubsidized Stafford o Federal Parents Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) o Federal Graduate Plus Loan for Students in Graduate Programs 16 Employment - FWSP (Federal Work-Study Program) This program provides jobs for undergraduate and graduate students who meet the basic eligibility requirements for financial aid and demonstrate financial need. Jobs are available both on-campus and off-campus. The Career Placement Center (Student Services Center, Room 230) has a listing of all available jobs and, where possible, will help students with employment that relates to their course of study. Work study earnings are not reported as income in the application for federal aid, which makes the student eligible for more grant money. Application Process Students should first determine if they are eligible for financial aid. Refer to General Eligibility Requirements above. The priority application deadline is May 1; this does not guarantee receipt of any specific type or types of grants. Applications received after the deadline will be processed as quickly as possible with no guarantee that the award will be ready to meet fall semester tuition and fees payment deadlines. Application Steps The WSU FINANCIAL AID CODE IS 003680. This code will be needed to complete your FAFSA application online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. All other applications and forms are available online at www.weber.edu. 1. 2. 3. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Renewal Application (for continuing students). (Students should make a copy for their records.)Students apply for Federal Student Aid via the Internet at www.fafsa.ed.gov Complete the WSU Financial Aid Application form (available on eWeber online at weber.edu, located under the Student Services Tab in the Financial Service section). Submit a copy of the student's IRS Tax Return Transcript, if filed, and spouse and/or parent IRS Tax Return Transcript, if applicable (ONLY IF REQUESTED). Special Requirements  Married students under 24 years of age with no dependents must submit a copy of their marriage certificate (only if requested).  Students applying as Separated/Divorced or with parents who are Separated/Divorced, must also submit a copy of the Separation/Divorce Decree (only if requested).  Students who are eligible non-citizens must also submit a copy of their Alien Registration Receipt Card (forms I-151, I-551, I-1551C, or I-94 with proper endorsements). Students are advised to apply online (see items above for appropriate Web sites). Applications will go through a Federal "needs analysis." The ability of a student and the student's family to contribute, as well as other resources, will determine the need for financial assistance. Students will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) which will provide information on the expected family contribution and financial need. To make changes to the data, students should contact a Financial Aid Advisor. When a student's file is complete, an award notice will be emailed to the student directing them to their student portal which will list the financial aid programs and the monetary amounts for which the student is eligible. Students should accept their award through eWeber online at weber.edu, located under the Student Services Tab in the Financial Service section. An award may be canceled if the Award Offer is not accepted within the specified time period. Satisfactory Progress Students working toward a first bachelor's degree may receive financial aid up to a maximum of 189 semester credit hours. For students enrolled in a two-year degree program the maximum credit hours will be prorated accordingly. 17 Qualitative (Academic Standing) In addition to the University's standards, all students who receive financial aid must maintain at least a "C" average cumulative GPA (2.00) by the end of their second year of attendance. Students not meeting this requirement will be disqualified from financial aid until they bring their cumulative GPA to the minimum requirement. (This includes any transfer work.) Quantitative (Completion Rate) Students who receive financial aid must satisfactorily complete (receive grades other than I, T, W, UW, NC, E, or AU) a specified minimum number of credit hours based upon their award level. Any exceptions to this requirement must be approved by the Financial Aid & Scholarship Appeals Committee. Only cases resulting from mitigating circumstances will be reviewed by the committee. Eligibility Status Students who receive financial aid and complete less than the minimum number of credit hours required by their award level will be in a deficit credit hour situation and be put on financial aid denial or warning. Please be aware that any time a student drops a class, there will be financial aid consequences. Students may reduce the deficit hours by taking classes without using financial aid. (Transfer work cannot be used to reduce a WSU deficit). Credit hours transferred from other colleges/universities will be included in the total hour eligibility for satisfactory progress whether or not financial aid was received at the other institution(s). If students change their program of study, credit hours completed for the previous major or majors will still be included in the total number of hours for financial aid eligibility even though the credit hours may or may not satisfy program requirements for the new major. Once students reach the maximum attempted hours (150% of credits needed for graduation), they must complete their program with their own funding. Maximum hours cannot be appealed. Appeals & Reinstatement of Aid Students disqualified from financial aid can regain eligibility by making up deficit hours without using financial aid and/or by bringing their cumulative GPA to at least 2.00. Administrative Review appeals requesting an exception to satisfactory progress requirements may also be made to the Financial Aid & Scholarship Appeals Committee. Withdrawals and Return of Title IV Funds Up through the 60% point in each semester or period of enrollment, a pro rata schedule is used to determine the amount of FSA funds the student has earned at the time of withdrawal. After the 60% point in the semester or period of enrollment, a student has earned 100% of the Title IV funds he or she was scheduled to receive during the period. If a recipient of Title IV grant or loan funds withdraws from the semester after beginning attendance, the amount of Title IV grant or loan assistance earned by the student must be determined. If the amount disbursed to the student is greater than the amount the student earned, unearned funds must be returned. You may contact the Financial Aid & Scholarship Office for any questions at 801-626-7569 or email financialaid@weber.edu. WSU returns Title IV funds to the programs from which the student received aid during the semester or period of enrollment as applicable, in the following order. 1. 2. 3. 4. Unsubsidized Federal Stafford loans. Subsidized Federal Stafford loans. Federal Perkins loans. Federal PLUS loans. 18 5. 6. 7. Federal Pell Grants. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG). Other awards (e.g., LEAP, UCOPE, and UHEAA Grants).

Closed Classes   Only academic departments and instructors have the authority to admit students to closed classes. Students may contact the individual department and/or the instructor for specific procedures regarding admission to closed classes. Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) Registration The basic objective of credit/no credit grading is to allow students the opportunity to enroll in classes outside their major or minor on a pass (CR)/ fail (NC) basis without affecting their GPA. The following rules apply:   Freshmen students may take no more than one class per term on a credit/no credit basis. Students with 30 or more credit hours who have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above may register for no more than two classes per term on credit/no credit basis. 22   A maximum of 20 hours of credit/no credit in elective courses may be used for graduation. Classes taken on a credit/no credit basis will not satisfy major, minor, general education, or specific course requirements. The University Curriculum and General Education Committee have designated a few exceptions to this rule. Please see the academic department for information on these course exceptions.  Grades on the credit/no credit system are not included in computing the term or cumulative grade point average. A grade of credit is recorded only for letter grades of C- and above. Grades less than C-, including UW, will be recorded as no credit.  Students who change their Program of Study must submit the appropriate form to the Records Office and request the grade be changed to the letter grade issued by the instructor if a credit/no credit course applies to the new Program of Study.  If a student has previously taken a course for a letter grade, the same course may not be retaken for credit/nocredit.  Choice of credit/no credit registration should be made at the beginning of the term, but a student may change classes to credit/no credit status until the CR/NC deadline. This date can be found in the University's Academic Calendar.  The instructor is not notified when a student takes a class for a credit/no credit grade. The instructor will assign a letter grade on the Final Grade Report and then the Records Office will convert the letter grades to credit or no credit. Audit Course Registration The basic objective of taking a class as audit is to allow students the opportunity to attend a class without earning either a grade or credit for the class.   Students registering to audit a class will pay tuition and fees per the current tuition and fee schedule. Students in regulated programs, i.e. Financial Aid and Athletics, are subject to the respective program guidelines for audit registration.  Some courses may not be open to audit students because of classroom space limitations. Students must receive instructor permission to audit a class.  Choice of audit registration should be made at the beginning of the term, but a student may change classes to audit status until the audit deadline. This date can be found in the University's Academic Calendar.  Students auditing classes are expected to attend on a regular basis. Students may officially withdraw from the audited class according to the deadline. Audit students failing to attend class may be issued a "W" grade at the discretion of the instructor.  Senior Citizens (Utah residents ages 62 and over) may audit a course as a Lifetime Learner for a $10.00 fee per semester, on a space available basis, by applying at the Admissions Office. Lifetime Learner's selecting this option for courses do not have the option to receive a letter grade nor credit on their transcript for these courses. Registration Credit Hour Loads  It is recommended that undergraduate students planning to graduate with a bachelor's degree in four years register for at least 15 credit hours per semester.  Undergraduate students are classified as full-time if they register for 12 or more credit hours, as three-quarter time with 9 credit hours, and as half-time with 6 credit hours.  Graduate students are classified as full-time if they register for 9 or more credit hours, and as half-time if they register for 5 or more credit hours.

Surcharge In 2003 the Utah State Board of Regents passed a policy designed to encourage students to make reasonable progress toward completion of degree requirements. The policy states that students who exceed 135% of the credits required for completion of their baccalaureate degree will be charged the full cost of instruction. For example, a student whose program of study requires 126 semester credit hours will be allowed a maximum of 170 semester hours in which to complete degree requirements (126 credits x 1.35 = 170 credit hours).

Agreement to Pay Tuition Charges When a student registers for courses at Weber State University the student agrees to the terms of the "Agreement to Pay Tuition Charges." The agreement states: In consideration of the University's allowing me to register for courses, thus incurring the attendant costs to the University, both direct and indirect, I promise to pay Weber State University (WSU), Ogden, Utah, tuition and fees (principal) assessed to me for courses for which I have registered by the published payment due date for each semester. Also, I agree to pay for any additional fees and interest charges that are assessed to my account each semester. I hereby agree to pay a late payment fee of $40 if my account balance is not paid by the published payment due date, together with interest at the rate of 12% per annum on the unpaid balance. In the event I default on this agreement and it becomes necessary to place this account for collection, I also agree to pay collection fees, not to exceed 50.00% of the original principal balance, plus any court and/or attorney fees resulting from the enforcement of this agreement. Any collection costs stated above are in addition to the principal, fees and interest due on my account. In the event of default of any of the terms of this agreement, I hereby give to the WSU Controller, or his/her designee, Power of Attorney to apply all monies due me from WSU to any delinquent portion of this note until the principal, fees, interest and costs are paid in full. I agree that WSU may repay my account balance from any TITLE IV funds due me. I understand that the principal amount is calculated based on my class-load each semester at WSU. All outstanding tuition account balances are considered qualified educational loans under I.R.C § 221 and are extended with the express understanding that future repayment shall be made to the university. I further understand that my acceptance of these terms represents my acknowledgementand acceptance 26 of my tuition account balance qualifying as a qualified education loan under I.R.C. § 221, and as such, is exempt from discharge under federal bankruptcy code 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(8). Billing Statement Tuition and fees statements are available on the eWeber student portal. Electronic statements and up-to-date balances are available in the student account at any time. Students are responsible for viewing up-to-date balance or e-statements in the student account. It is the student's responsibility to make sure account balances are paid in-full and on-time. A paper billing statement will only be mailed at the student's request by sending an email to cashiers@weber.edu. Payment Schedule    Payment deadlines are listed on the Internet at weber.edu/bursar. Tuition and fees may be paid by cash, check VISA, DiscoverCard, MasterCard or American Express. Monthly payment plans are available to help students who are not able to pay in full when tuition is due. (See Monthly Payment Plan Option below.) Late Payment Fee A late payment fee will be assessed to all students who have not paid their tuition and fees in-full or have not signed up for a monthly payment plan (see weber.edu/bursar/Late_fees.html for the amount and schedule for assessment of the fee.) If a student has an outstanding balance after their financial aid or scholarships have been applied, the student is responsible to pay this amount by the payment deadline to avoid the late payment fee and interest charges. The late payment fee and interest are nonrefundable and will not be waived. If a student changes his/her schedule by adding classes, the student has until Friday at 4:00 p.m. of that week to pay the balance or the late payment fee will be assessed to the student account. Students should check their account balance each time a change is made to his/her schedule to determine the new balance due. Interest Assessment Interest will begin the fourth week of the semester. The annual rate is 12%. A student will not be assessed interest as long as the student is in a Monthly Payment Plan that covers all tuition and fees and current on all payments. Interest on unpaid balances will be assessed in addition to the late payment fee. Monthly Payment Plan Option The Monthly Payment Plan is a program intended to help students who are not able to pay their account in full by the tuition and fee deadline. Instead of one large payment, tuition and fees are broken down into equal monthly payments. Enrollment in a plan is available at the time of registration prior to beginning of each semester. See weber.edu/bursar for details about monthly payment plans. Personal Checks or eChecks Personal checks or eChecks returned by a financial institution for any reason are subject to a service charge and may result in the withholding of student records and/or dropping of courses. Delinquent Accounts-Collection Fees Students with unpaid tuition and fees, room and board, parking fines, or other fees due to the University will have a hold placed on their records until such obligations are paid in full. The hold will prevent the student from registering for future semesters, viewing transcripts or grades, delay graduation, and limit use of the Wildcard and certain student services. Unpaid accounts will be processed by University collections. A collection fee of ten percent of the outstanding balance will be assessed to the student. Interest and monthly collection fees will also be assessed on any unpaid balance. In the event additional collection efforts become necessary, WSU may refer a past due account to an outside collection agency. All 27 delinquent accounts are subject to collection fees, interest, plus all court costs and reasonable attorney fees. The collection agency and/or WSU will report delinquent accounts to a credit reporting agency. Third Party/Sponsored Payments Students are responsible for ensuring that appropriate documentation for third party/sponsored payments is submitted to the main cashier's office prior to the start of classes each semester. Students must comply with the terms of the agreement and verify that all tuition and fees changes are paid by the sponsor agreement. It is the student's responsibility to verify that any course or tuition and fee changes will be paid by the sponsor and that these changes are reported to the accounts receivable office for proper processing. If the sponsor does not provide funding by the end of the semester, the student will be responsible for payment of tuition and fees. The account will be considered delinquent if unpaid at the end of the semester. (See Delinquent Accounts above.) Contact 801-626-6263 for information on how to submit vouchers or contracts. Administrative Withdrawals The University reserves the right to administratively withdraw a student from a current semester if a student has an unpaid tuition and fee balance from a prior semester or if the student provides a dishonored check or other payment to pay for tuition and fees. The prior semester courses will not be dropped or withdrawn. Financial Petitions Tuition and fee assessment is based on the registration date of the course and date of withdrawal from the course. The withdrawal dates are published on the Academic Calendar each semester. If, due to extenuating or for other acceptable circumstances, the student must drop a course after the published deadline, the student must complete the "Exception to University Policy-Tuition and Fee Assessment Petition" weber.edu/bursar/Petition.html and submit supporting documentation. Tuition and fees are assessed according to approved tuition and fee tables. The assessment is based on the number of registered credit hours or liable hours for each student. For example, if the student signs up for 12 credit hours, he or she is liable for paying for 12 hours according to the tuition and fee table. Deadlines for Filing Petition The deadline for filing a petition is the last day of the semester of enrollment. The burden of proof rests with the student to submit documentation of circumstances that prevented the student from adhering to the University policies and procedures. For more information and forms refer to: weber.edu/bursar/Petition.html Refunds and Reimbursements Student fees and course fees are refunded based on the University refund schedule (see weber.edu/bursar).

Grading Grade System The following grades and numeric point values are used to compute the cumulative grade point average (GPA). A Excellent 4.0 A- Excellent 3.7 B+ Good 3.3 B Good 3.0 B- Good 2.7 42 C+ Standard 2.3 C Standard 2.0 C- Standard 1.7 D+ Sub-Standard 1.3 D Sub-Standard 1.0 D- Sub-Standard 0.7 E Failure 0.0 UW Unofficial Withdrawal 0.0 To calculate a cumulative GPA, the total number of grade points (the number of credit hours per course multiplied by the numeric points listed above for the grade) is divided by the total number of credit hours. Courses coded with an R in front of the grade (indicating academic renewal), or an E in the far right column of the form (indicating exclusion due to a repeat), are not used in computing the GPA, the graduation hours, or the total hours completed. Courses coded ND (non-degree) are not used in computing the GPA or the graduation hours completed, but they are included in computing the total hours attempted. Courses with the following notations in the grade column are not used in computing the GPA, the graduation hours, or the total hours completed (with the exception of CR-Credit courses which may be used toward graduation hours or total hours). AU-Audit   Indicates the student was allowed to sit in a class without earning credit or a grade. Audit Students who fail to attend class without withdrawing, may be issued a withdrawal (W). (See Registration section of this catalog.) CE-Continuing Education Unit  Students who enroll in a Continuing Education Unit through the Continuing Education Office, will receive a CE grade. It is not counted in the WSU GPA or Total Hours, but can be listed on a transcript. CR-Credit     Indicates the student registered for a course on a pass/fail basis and earned a C- or better. (See Registration section of this catalog.) Certain courses are offered on a credit/no credit basis only and letter grades are not given. Credit/no credit courses may only be used as electives in a student graduation requirements. Classes taken on a credit/no credit bases will not satisfy major, minor, or general education requirements with exception of those courses or programs of study approved by the University Curriculum and General Education committee and those courses approved by academic departments for credit by special examination. A maximum of 20 hours of credit/no credit electives may be used for graduation. I-Incomplete  Indicates the student was unable to complete the course for a legitimate reason (such as accident or illness) after having completed a substantial portion (approximately 80%) of the required work.  A written contract between the student and the instructor indicates the work still to be done and the deadline for its completion (within 12 months).  The student must complete remaining work without re-registering or attending the class during a subsequent semester. 43   Credit hours are not counted until a letter grade is posted. All incomplete (I) courses must be completed prior to graduation. NC-No Credit   Indicates the student registered for a course on a credit/no-credit basis and earned less than a C-.  Certain courses are offered on a credit/no credit basis only and letter grades are not given.

NG-No Grade Reported  The instructor has not reported a grade for the course. SC-Special Credit  The student has received credit through an examination, waiver, or substitution for which they are not eligible for a letter grade.  These credits are counted toward the total number of credits required for graduation but are not used to calculate the cumulative grade point average.  Special credits may be used for graduation requirements as determined by the academic departments. T-Temporary Grade  The course is being continued in the subsequent semester and a grade and credits will be calculated when the course is complete and a letter grade has been issued. The "T" grade is approved for specific courses only. UW-Unofficial Withdrawal  Indicates the student stopped attending the course without officially withdrawing. Note: UW's are calculated as failing grades in the student's semester and cumulative grade point averages. W-Withdrawal  The student withdrew from the course in the interval comprising the 16th through the 50th business day of a semester or the 30th business day of a block. Withdrawals are not permitted after the 50th business day of a semester or 30th business day of a block. Changing of Grades    Grades may be changed only by the instructor who submitted the original grade. Students who feel their work has been evaluated unfairly should contact the instructor. Students who choose to complete a course on a credit/no credit basis may petition the Registrar's Office to have a CR grade replaced by the earned letter grade if they recently changed their major or minor and need the letter grade to meet graduation requirements for the new major or minor. Repeat Courses   Repeated courses will be automatically flagged as part of the grading process at the end of each term. Each course (unless specifically listed as repeatable for credit in the course description) may be used only once in cumulative hours and GPA. 44  A course will appear on the transcript each time it is completed, but it will be counted only once in total hours and only the most recent letter grade received will be used to calculate the GPA (CR is not considered a letter grade and will not cause a previous grade to be discounted).  Once a bachelor's degree has been posted to a student's permanent record, courses used for that degree may not be repeated to improve their GPA. Academic Renewal Policy 1. The applicant for academic renewal must be a currently enrolled undergraduate student or must have been enrolled during the previous term.

Hagen Location: Engineering Technology Building, Room 236 Telephone Contact: Susan Foss 801-626-6898 Email: susanfoss@weber.edu Website: weber.edu/engineering Professor: Kirk Hagen; Associate Professors: Fon Brown, Justin Jackson, Larry Zeng; Assistant Professors: Suketu Naik, Christopher Trampel Engineering is the application of science and mathematics to the optimum conversion of the resources of nature to the uses of humankind. More specifically, engineering is the creative application of scientific principles to design and develop devices, systems and processes to satisfy the needs of society. Engineering is a broad field, consisting of a variety of disciplines such as biomedical, chemical, civil, electrical, computer, and mechanical engineering. For example, biomedical engineers design artificial organs and diagnostic systems to detect and treat diseases. Chemical engineers design fuels, plastics and drugs. Civil engineers design roads, buildings, bridges and water 107 treatment plants. Electrical engineers design computers, communication devices and power control systems. Mechanical engineers design machines, spacecraft, power plants and heating and air-conditioning systems. The Department of Engineering houses three academic programs, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering and PreEngineering. The Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering programs prepare the student to enter the engineering industry or graduate school in the discipline. The Pre-Engineering Program constitutes the first two years of a bachelor's program and prepares the student to transfer to another institution to complete the four-year engineering degree. The Engineering Department offers a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering and an Associate of Pre-Engineering (APE) degree. Pre-Engineering (APE)   Grade Requirements: A minimum overall GPA of 2.00 is required. Credit Hour Requirements: A minimum of 57 credit hours is required. A minimum of 20 hours in residence (for transfer students). The Associate of Pre-Engineering (APE) degree at Weber State University offers the first two years of a professional engineering curriculum. The degree is designed to prepare students for transfer into an engineering program at other universities in Utah, or throughout the United States, that offer four-year engineering degrees. Because many preengineering graduates will transfer to the University of Utah or Utah State University, the WSU Pre-Engineering program has official transfer agreements with these two schools. In planning a program of study, students should be aware that most pre-engineering courses have mathematics and science prerequisites and that improper scheduling of courses can lengthen the time required to complete the degree. Students should also be aware that requirements may vary according to the university to which the student wishes to transfer. Students are therefore strongly encouraged to meet with the Pre-Engineering coordinator prior to beginning their program. The Associate of Pre-Engineering degree has fewer general education credit hours than the Associate of Science (AS) degree. Therefore, in order for a student to obtain a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in engineering, he or she will have to take additional general education courses at WSU and/or the receiving university. Alternatively, a student may earn the AS degree, but this degree may take longer than the APE degree because it contains not only pre-engineering courses but also a full complement of general education courses. The AS degree has the potential benefit, however, of satisfying all the general education requirements at either the University of Utah or Utah State University. Advisement All Pre-Engineering students are strongly encouraged to meet with the Pre-Engineering coordinator at the beginning of the program and at least once annually for course and program advisement. Pre-Engineering students are also encouraged to obtain advisement from the applicable engineering department at the receiving university. Admission Requirements Declare your program of study (see Enrollment Services and Information). No special admission or application requirements are needed for this program. However, students entering the Pre-Engineering program are expected to have taken college preparatory mathematics and physical science courses in high school. The standard entry level mathematics course for preengineering majors is MATH 1210 - Calculus I. The prerequisite for MATH 1210 is MATH 1080 QL - Pre-calculus, or MATH 1050 QL - College Algebra plus MATH 1060 - Trigonometry, or placement through examination. Students who are not ready to take MATH 1210 upon entering the Pre-Engineering program should consult with the Pre-Engineering coordinator, who will recommend remedial courses that will prepare the student for calculus, physics and engineering courses. 108 Major Course Requirements for APE Degree General Education Core Requirements (15 credit hours) 1.

Department of Communication Department Chair: Dr. Sheree Josephson Location: Elizabeth Hall, Room 330 Telephone: 801-626-8924 Professors: Susan Hafen, Rebecca Johns, Sheree Josephson, Colleen Packer; Associate Professors: Anne Bialowas, Ty Sanders; Assistant Professors: Nicola Corbin, Hailey Gillen, Alexander Lancaster, Jean Norman, Sarah Steimel; Instructors: Cynthia Bishop, Ryan Cheek, Veronica Dawson, Omar Guevara, Robin Haislett, Mark Merkley, AnDrew Tyler, Brent Warnock Communication is a dynamic process that plays a complex and profound role in shaping both individuals and society and is vital to the free exchange of ideas central to a democratic society. The Weber State University Department of Communication seeks to promote an understanding of this process and the effective and ethical practice of human communication by focusing on how people create and use messages to generate meanings within and across various contexts, cultures, channels and media, including those delivered through technology. WSU Communication Department curricula and programs are grounded within a liberal arts tradition and designed to help students live vital and successful lives in an ever-changing global environment. The curriculum for the major is designed to provide a liberal arts-based study of human communication combined with a course of study that prepares graduates for entry-level employment in Communication and Communication-related careers. The major also prepares students for graduate study in Communication and related disciplines. The Department is committed to enhancing student learning through required internships and through co-curricular opportunities afforded by our award-winning student-operated organizations, including The Signpost, KWCR Wildcat Radio, Ogden Peak Communications, and Studio 76/Wildcat ONE TV (digital media production), as well as our nationally prominent intercollegiate debate program. 278 Communication majors may select one of six emphasis areas: Civic Advocacy, Digital Media, Interpersonal & Family Communication, Multimedia Journalism, Organizational Communication, and Public Relations & Advertising. They may also select a Communication Teaching major with emphases in Communication Studies or Multimedia Journalism. Students may earn the Communication major as either a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree. The Communication minor and the Bachelor of Integrated Studies concentration in Communication (BIS) are designed to provide the student with knowledge and skills in Communication that complement the student's major or other concentrations of study. In addition to emphasizing knowledge, understanding, and demonstrated competence in the skills of human communication, curricular and co-curricular programs emphasize the development of character in our students. Accordingly, Department faculty discourage symbolic expression that demeans and degrades other human beings and encourage symbolic expression that celebrates the fundamental dignity of all human beings. Obsolete Credit Credit earned more than 10 years earlier than the proposed date of graduation will not be accepted for the major, minor or BIS concentration in Communication unless validated through a challenge examination or department chair approval. Co-curricular and Extra-curricular Activities Scholarships, Fellowships and Tuition Waivers Scholarships and/or tuition waivers are available to WSU Debate competitors and to The Signpost, KWCR Wildcat Radio, Ogden Peak Communications, and Studio 76/Wildcat ONE TV staff members. Other academic scholarships are also available. Contact the department office at 801-626-8924 or visit the department website at weber.edu/communication for more information. Professional and/or Honorary Organizations Communication students are encouraged to join one or more of the professional and/or honorary organizations affiliated with the department. Memberships in these organizations provide students with opportunities to meet and network with Communication professionals, learn about employment opportunities in the field of Communication, and participate in practical experiences relevant to future employment. See the faculty advisor for each organization for more information: Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) Dr. Jean Norman Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) Dr. Nicola Corbin Lambda Pi Eta Honor Society Dr. Cynthia Bishop, Dr. Sheree Josephson Departmental Honors Dr. Susan Hafen Debate Participation in intercollegiate debate activities is conducted in conjunction with the instructional program in argument, public speaking, and civic advocacy. Students participate in regional and national debate tournaments under supervision of the program's directors. The Department of Communication hosts the annual Bob Mukai College Classic, the annual Val Browning Round Robin, the state high school debate and speech championship, and a three-week summer high school camp. In addition, Weber State has hosted the 67th annual National Debate Tournament (2013), and the 9th annual National Debate Coaches Association national championship (2014). 279 Weber State Student Media The Signpost Multimedia Journalism students have the opportunity to polish reporting, writing and multimedia skills at The Signpost, Weber State University's student-run news organization. Content is disseminated online and via newspaper. KWCR Wildcat Radio Students practice and develop their knowledge and resumes by joining Weber State's student-run, digital-streaming radio station KWCR Wildcat Radio. KWCR broadcasts music, local sports, news, and specialty programs. Spanish-language programming serves as an important connection to the Hispanic community. Studio 76/Wildcat ONE TV Studio 76 produces high-quality video content for campus and community organizations as well as creates multiple studio shows ranging from a weekly newscast produced for The Signpost to in-studio entertainment shows. Other specialty shows are produced weekly. Studio 76 also offers live streaming services to many campus clubs and organizations. This content may be shown on WSU's campus television station Wildcat ONE where students living in the residence halls and everyone visiting campus can view movies on demand among other things. Ogden Peak Communications Students run a public relations and advertising group to apply the skills they have learned in the classroom. Ogden Peak Communications works with clients to develop content and campaigns. Interdisciplinary Minors The Communication Department participates in the interdisciplinary Linguistics Minor Program.

English majors and minors, English teaching majors and minors, English majors with professional and technical writing emphasis and professional and technical writing minors, and English majors with creative writing emphasis, in consultation with English department advisors, can select programs individually designed to satisfy academic requirements. Furthermore, students preparing for careers in law, medicine, business, public relations and government service may find departmental courses highly beneficial. The English Department has also designed courses for the general student in introductory and intermediate writing. Students transferring to Weber State as English majors, with most of their junior and senior status completed, are required to take a minimum of 9 upper division credit hours, minors a minimum of 6 upper division credit hours. This requirement also applies to transfer graduate students.

Department of Foreign Languages Department Chair: Craig Bergeson Location: Elizabeth Hall, Room 434 Telephone Contact: Christina Stice 801-626-6183 Professors: Yumi Adachi, Craig Bergeson, Alicia Giralt, Cheryl Hansen, Thomas Mathews, Eva Szalay; Associate Professor: Isabel Asensio, Assistant Professors: Diego Batista, Electra Fielding, Kacy Peckenpaugh, John Trimble; Instructor: Melissa Pittman The Department of Foreign Languages promotes global awareness and intercultural understanding by providing instruction and study abroad opportunities in various languages. We prepare majors and minors to function effectively in a foreign language by offering courses in literature, culture, linguistics, pedagogy and language for professional purposes. A bachelor of arts degree is offered. Students may select a regular major, a teaching major or a major with a commercial emphasis in French, German or Spanish. Regular and teaching minors are offered in these three languages as well. In addition, a Japanese minor is offered, and the department participates in Asian Studies, European Studies and Latin American Studies minors and in a departmental Honors Program. A language emphasis for the BIS degree requires a minimum of 18 hours, 15 of which must be upper-division course work. Courses in other languages may be offered as need and resources allow. The curriculum is based on the National Standards for measuring proficiency. Each course is designed to foster linguistic skills and to increase the student's ability to participate in the culture. Foreign Language Requirement for the Bachelor of Arts Degree The Bachelor of Arts degree includes a foreign language or ASL (American Sign Language) requirement which may be met by one of the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Documentation of a proficiency level of "Intermediate Low" or better through an examination administered by the WSU Foreign Language Department or through an examination by a recognized testing agency. Completion of WSU foreign language course FL 2020 with a grade of "C" or higher, or comparable transfer credit. Completion of any upper-division WSU foreign language course with a grade of "C" or higher, or comparable transfer credit. Students for whom English is a second language may meet the BA foreign language requirement by verifying their proficiency in their native (non-English) language in cooperation with the Foreign Language Department and verifying their proficiency in English as a Second language by passing the ESL Special Examination. Documentation of a minimum proficiency level in American Sign Language through an examination administered by the American Sign Language/Interpreting program at Salt Lake Community College (SLCC). The signer must "produce and maintain American Sign Language with continuity and precision." Completion of SLCC's American Sign Language Course ASL 1050 with a grade of "C" or higher, or comparable transfer credit. Completion of twelve semester-hours of foreign language. 343 Obtaining Foreign Language Credit for Prior Language Experience Students with prior language experience may obtain lower-division foreign language credit by completing one of the following options: 1. 2. Students may obtain credit for FL 1010, FL 1020, FL 2010 and FL 2020 by passing a higher numbered course with a minimum grade of "C" Students may obtain credit for FL 1010, FL 1020, FL 2010 and FL 2021 through examination, but only in those languages in which the Department of Foreign Languages has expertise (usually limited to French, German, Japanese and Spanish). This examination is administered regularly by the department. Credit for Humanities General Education (FL 2020) cannot be obtained through examination. Upon payment of a nominal fee, hours earned through either option are recorded as "credit" on the transcript and do not affect the student's GPA. The department may accept results from other foreign language testing agencies as evidence of proficiency. Application for credit is to be made at the office of the Department of Foreign Languages. Generally, students may not earn lower-division foreign language credit for proficiency in their native language. If a student's second language is English, then English may fill the BA foreign language requirement (see specific BA-major department advisors). Interdisciplinary Minors The Foreign Languages Department participates in the Asian Studies, European Studies, Linguistics, and Latin American Studies Minor Programs. Students who wish to enroll in one of these programs should indicate their desire to do so with the program coordinator who will help them work out a proper combination of courses to fit their particular needs. (See the Engaged Learning, Honors, and Interdisciplinary Programs section of this catalog.) Oral Proficiency Requirements The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) has defined a scale for the evaluation of the language proficiency of students. The ACTFL Proficiency scale has four levels: Novice, Intermediate, Advanced and Superior. The Department of Foreign Languages requires that students achieve a determined proficiency level, depending on the students' goals. In addition, instructors assume that students entering any class have acquired the entry-level proficiency indicated for that class. (These levels are indicated in parentheses by the description of each course. N=Novice; NH=Novice High; IL=Intermediate Low; IM=Intermediate Mid; IH=Intermediate High; AL=Advanced Low.) Novice (N) Students at this level have no experience in the language they are studying. They begin by learning the sound and spelling system and by memorizing words and phrases. During the course, they will progress to the point of being able to create simple sentences, to ask some questions, and to initiate, sustain and conclude simple social tasks more than half of the time. Novice High (NH) At the Novice-High level student’s progress from the ability to respond simply with learned utterances to the ability to create language face-to-face, to ask and answer simple questions, and to create sentence-level constructions. Intermediate Low (IL) At the Intermediate-Low level students continue to build mastery of personal social-oriented informational tasks and move to a higher level by practicing informational tasks beyond the immediate and personal. Students will move from simplesentence to more complex sentence-level discourse. They will practice narration, description and comparison, but mastery is not expected. Intermediate Mid (IM) Students at this level build on an ability to perform informational tasks beyond immediate and personal needs while they continue to practice narration, description and comparison. In addition, students begin practice in supporting opinions and hypothesizing in the language. They move from complex sentence-level structures to paragraph-level discourse. 344 Intermediate High (IH) At this level students can function at the Advanced level most of the time. They still need practice narrating, describing and comparing, and Linking sentences together smoothly. In addition, they encounter more tasks that require them to support opinion and to hypothesize. Student’s progress from complex sentences to paragraphs to extended discourse. Advanced Low (AL) Students at this level function at the Advanced level all or almost all of the time. Students have no difficulty with extended discourse, narration in all tenses and explanation. They are able to and use language both oral and written in complex and sophisticated ways. These course descriptions are generic and apply to all languages. The acronym FL denotes foreign language courses. In the class schedule each semester courses will be language specific: FRCH for French, GRMN for German, JPNS for Japanese, and SPAN for Spanish, etc. American Sign Language (ASL), Pre-Major (AA) An Associate of Arts with an American Sign Language (ASL) Pre-major will indicate that a student has completed all WSU AA degree requirements and the core curriculum required for the Bachelor of Arts in ASL. It will also indicate students are prepared to enroll in upper division ASL courses. The ending proficiency expectation is "Intermediate Low." Advisement American Sign Language (ASL) pre-majors are encouraged to meet with a faculty advisor at least annually for course and program advisement.

The department's degree programs prepare students for professional careers in teaching and performance as well as in technical specialties while providing the liberal arts background necessary for graduate study. In the department's Performing Arts Series, students and faculty participate in professionally produced dance, musical, and theatrical events. Dance Area The primary goals of the Dance area of the Department of Performing Arts are: 1) To develop aesthetically aware and artistically discriminating citizens; 2) To promote cultural understanding of ourselves and others through the study of dance; 3) To encourage appreciation of dance through critical thinking; 4) To engage the community in a range of dance experiences; 5) To foster an understanding of and engagement in the creative process through dance performance, improvisation, choreography, pedagogical studies, technology, and collaborative endeavors; 6) To provide the guidance, class work, and experience necessary to prepare teachers, performing artists, and scholars; 7) To prepare students for careers or advanced study that require creativity, collaboration, and an understanding of the human experience as explored in the study of dance; 8) To provide rigorous dance training. Two majors are offered: 1) a Bachelor of Arts in Dance, with a focus on creativity in performance and choreography; and 2) a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in Dance Education, with a focus on education and pedagogy. Dance majors follow a program based on growth beginning with foundational theory courses, technique courses appropriate to each dancer's ability, and a culminating senior project. Dance Education majors follow a program based in the knowledge and understanding of dance education in relation to secondary education and/or studio teaching, focusing on pedagogy, choreography, history, and performance. The Dance Education major prepares students to be teachers of dance in the public sector, private sector, and non-profit environments. In addition, Education majors seeking secondary certification must satisfy all requirements for the Licensure Program as 383 outlined by the Jerry and Vickie Moyes College of Education (including a minimum GPA of 3.0 for admission to the Education Program). Two minors are offered: 1) Dance, with a focus on performance and choreography; and 2) Dance Teaching. Dance minors follow a program that provides for study in technique, creative and theoretical coursework. A minimum of eighteen (18) credit hours (GPA of 2.25 or better) must be completed in the Dance Area courses. Dance Teaching minors must complete a minimum of eighteen (17-18) credit hours (GPA of 2.25 or better) from the Dance Area courses. This program is comprised of a dance teaching core (7-8 hours), dance history, technique in ballet and modern dance, additional dance forms and creative work. In addition, teaching minors seeking secondary certification must satisfy all requirements for the Licensure Program as outlined by the Jerry and Vickie Moyes College of Education (including a minimum GPA of 3.0 for admission to the Education Program). Dance teaching minors are strongly encouraged to select teaching majors in subject areas that are needed in Utah secondary schools. Performance Opportunities Orchesis Dance Theatre provides performance and production opportunities for qualified students who demonstrate technical abilities in dance. The company's activities include on-campus and dance festival concerts. Its repertoire consists of traditional and experimental modern dances, contemporary ballets, and theatrical and performance works choreographed/directed by dance faculty, students, and well-known artists. Auditions are required for performances sponsored by Orchesis. WSU Moving Company is the Dance Area's outreach program, which provides further performance, production and teaching opportunities. Significant dance works and lecture demonstrations are performed; teaching residencies are implemented in the public schools and for campus and community organizations. School of Music The School of Music is an accredited member of the National Association of Schools of Music. Programs leading to the Bachelor of Music degree are offered for students seeking emphases in performance, keyboard pedagogy, stringed instrument pedagogy, vocal pedagogy, or music education. Additional programs include the Bachelor of Arts in music and a music minor. The primary goals of the School of Music are: 1) To develop individuals who are aware, artistically discriminating, and devoted to a lifelong association with music; 2) To provide opportunities for students and community members to participate in creative musical experiences; 3) To develop musical competence, sensitivity, and purpose; 4) To expose students and community to classic and contemporary musical works, and to provide the finest possible performances; 5) To provide for career development in music through the preparation of teachers, performers, and scholars.

Student admittance to each competency level is granted only by general consent of the area faculty upon satisfactory completion of a performance level evaluation appropriate to that level. Refusal by the appropriate area faculty to allow admittance to the next level may be appealed by the student provided there is consent of the private teacher. 1. This appeal should be made directly to the area head, who will in turn consult with the faculty regarding a repeat performance evaluation. 2. Only one appeal will be accepted at each performance evaluation. More than three (3) semesters of study at any one competency level due to lack of improvement on the part of the student will be cause for a recommendation from the appropriate faculty that the student not continue as a music major or minor. Failure to attend proficiency evaluations will result in a grade of "E" being given for the private lesson during that semester. 385 Recital Performance 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. All Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Music Education students must participate in at least one general student recital or master class per semester. This should normally be a solo appearance, but this determination is left to the discretion of the applied music teacher. All music majors except those in the Bachelor of Arts and keyboard pedagogy programs, must present a half-hour formal junior recital upon reaching the 3000 competency level. All music minors must present a half-hour formal junior recital upon reaching the 3000 competency level. The student must register for MUSC 3991 during the semester the recital will be presented. All Bachelor of Music students must present a one-hour senior recital while at the 4000 competency level. The student must register for MUSC 4991 during the semester the recital will be presented. See "Senior Project" in the next column for music education exceptions to this requirement. Repertoire for the senior recital must not contain music performed on the junior recital. Completion of a senior recital will exempt a student from further proficiency level evaluations but not from continued private study. All students presenting a senior recital must perform that recital before a faculty review committee not less than two weeks prior to the recital date. The review committee will consist of the student's applied teacher, the appropriate area head, and one other faculty member of the student's choice. A faculty committee selected by the area director will be present at the public performance of the senior recital and will recommend pass/fail of the recital. All students must complete a recital approval form for junior or senior recitals. The recital form must be completed and signed by the music advisor and applied teacher prior to scheduling any required faculty preview performance. Failure to complete a junior or senior recital in the semester in which the student is registered for the recital will result in a grade of "E" for the recital. Senior Project 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Music education majors have the option of completing a senior project in lieu of the senior recital and should register for MUSC 4992 during the semester in which they plan to complete the project. The Director of Music Education in consultation with the music faculty must approve the senior project option at least one semester prior to the completion of the project. Students must enroll in MUSC 4830 at least one semester prior to completing the senior project. A written proposal must be approved and signed by a faculty committee before the student may enroll in MUSC 4992. The committee must be comprised of at least three members including the following: 1. The Director of Music Education or his or her designee 2. An appropriate Music Area Head or his or her designee 3. A Weber State Faculty Member Appropriate outside members that are not members of the WSU faculty may be selected with the approval of the music faculty. Upon receiving approval of the project, the student should proceed with the project in close consultation with the committee. Upon completion of the project, the faculty committee shall meet and provide useful information to the student. Each member of the committee will assign a letter grade. These grades will be averaged for the final grade in MUSC 4992 (Senior Project). Recital/Concert Attendance All music majors and minors must attend 24 music area recitals, concerts, and/or community concert events per year while enrolled in applied music at the 1000 and 2000 level. Attendance reports are required for two years and are maintained in the music office. To receive credit for graduation, students enroll in MUSC 1006 for their first two semesters attending 12 recitals or concerts each semester and MUSC 2006 for their third and fourth semesters attending 12 recital or concerts each semester. Piano Proficiency 386 All students must pass the piano proficiency examination and must be registered for Class Piano or private piano until the exam is passed. The requirements for piano proficiency should be completed by the end of the student's sophomore year. Music Major Foreign Language Requirement The Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Music Education degree requirement is for two semesters of foreign language chosen from French, German, Italian, and Spanish. The requirement may be satisfied by taking two semesters of the same language, or one semester each of two different languages. For the Bachelor of Arts in Music, please see Language Courses Required to fulfill the BA listed under the major requirements. Bachelor of Integrated Studies Students declaring an emphasis in music as one of their three BIS concentrations must abide by all guidelines and stipulations detailed in the BIS student handbook. Courses taken in fulfillment of the music area emphasis must total a minimum of 18 credit hours and will be determined in consultation with the music BIS advisor and approved by the department chair (or dean, if the advisor and chair are the same person). These courses should directly and demonstratively contribute to the goals set forth by the student in his/her approved BIS application. The following courses, however, are required for all music BIS students: MUSC 1010 CA - Introduction to Music (3) * MUSC 1110 - Music Theory I (3) MUSC 1130 - Sight-Singing & Aural Skills I (1) MUSC 1120 - Music Theory II (3) MUSC 1140 - Sight-Singing & Aural Skills II (1) Additionally, music BIS students must take at least one of the following: MUSC 1030 CA - Introduction to Jazz (3) * MUSC 1033 CA - Introduction to American Music (3) * MUSC 1035 CA - History of Rock and Roll (3) * MUSC 1040 CA/DV - Music of World Cultures (3) * MUSC 1043 HU - Music, the Arts & Civilizations (3) * MUSC 1063 CA - Music in Religion (3) * THEA 1043 CA - Introduction to American Musical Theatre (3) * * Please note that according to the BIS student handbook, courses taken in completion of the university General Education requirements will not count toward a BIS emphasis.

The objectives of the program are to: 1) Encourage participation in and appreciation of theatre and drama; 2) Foster creativity and develop technical skills in acting, directing, costuming, scenic design, script writing and theatre management; 388 3) Prepare students for careers or professional schooling in those fields that require strong presentational skills, creative problem solving, effective collaboration, and an understanding of human experience. Theatre students must complete a sequence of formal course work that includes University general education, core theatre courses, and focus or specialty courses. Formal course work is complemented by a sequence of experiential learning opportunities in the theatre. Students and faculty develop individualized programs of course work and practical experience, including a junior seminar, annual juries, portfolio preparation, various practica, and opportunities for individual theatre projects. Study of theatre provides students with useful tools to contribute to and make positive changes in society. Theatre students learn about diverse historical eras, communities and technologies. Theatre challenges students to be creative and to translate that creativity into applied processes - to think precisely, speak confidently in public, work productively with others, visualize abstract concepts and represent those concepts concretely. Theatre skills are useful in a variety of professions including, but not limited to, business, government, law, journalism, and public relations. Major Requirements The department offers a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in Musical Theatre, Theatre Arts, and Theatre Arts Teaching. A minimum of 62 course units (2.0 or better GPA) or courses in the combined areas of Dance, Music, and Theatre are required to qualify for the Musical Theatre Major. A minimum of 45 course units (2.0 or better) of Theatre Arts courses must be completed to qualify for either the Theatre Arts or Theatre Arts Teaching programs.

A limited number of slots are available for students registering for these lessons. Performance Opportunities Involvement in theatre productions is an important part of the Theatre program. The Weber State Theatre produces a full season of plays in the Austad, Allred and Eccles theatres of the state-of-the-art Val A. Browning Center for the Performing Arts. Theatre facilities include a variety of proscenium and flexible staging situations. Students are given first priority in all department productions. The theatre season is offered by the Department of Performing Arts as part of the Performing Arts Series. Because the season is generously supported by the Associated Students of Weber State through student fees, students receive substantial discounts for performances. In addition to performance opportunities at Weber State, theatre majors are encouraged to seek summer employment in stock or repertory companies relating to their interests.

Department of Visual Art and Design Department Chair: Matthew Choberka Location: Ethel Wattis Kimball Visual Arts Center Telephone Contact: Cynthia Kurien 801-626-6455 Professors: Naseem Banerji, Mark Biddle, Angelika Pagel, K Stevenson; Associate Professors: Matthew Choberka, Larry Clarkson, Joshua Winegar; Assistant Professors: Paul Crow, Jason Manley, Molly Morin, Stephen Wolochowicz; Visiting Assistant Professors: Micah Bauer, Lori McPherson Our world is partially understood through smell, taste, sound, and touch. But perhaps most of all we make sense of our environment through what we see. The art, architecture, mass media and even the furniture in our spaces bear distinct messages that influence our decisions and enrich life. Creative processes are exciting. Students of art and design contribute new expression to the vitality of our visual environment and learn to interpret what is seen through trained observation. Innovative thinking is absolutely necessary for success and must be balanced against research and critical judgment. Emphasis is placed on writing and the critical evaluation of artistic products. Students gain experience at preparing exhibits and portfolios for eventual professional activity. 419 Studies in art and art history offer windows of understanding to other cultures, both past and present. This is one of our primary concerns in preparing citizens for productive relations in an increasingly multicultural society. Seventy-eight different courses are offered by the Department of Visual Arts. These span traditional areas such as art history, art education, ceramics, drawing, small metals/jewelry, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and visual communication. The department is continually expanding into emerging modes of expression involving digital video, digital photography, animation, interactive design, and sound. Classes are enhanced by public lectures, seminars, workshops and special sessions by critics, historians, and visiting artists. Weber State University supports three Bachelor's degrees in the visual arts with specializations in most of the areas mentioned above. The Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees provide a broad liberal arts background, a solid base for many careers or further study. The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree is more professionally focused with high concentrations of studio art and art history. The BFA is for students who wish to move directly into professional work in art or design, or those who intend to pursue graduate study in the visual arts. Senior exhibitions are required for most Bachelor of Fine Arts majors. The Elizabeth Dee Shaw Gallery exhibits art that exemplifies the ideas and values of the curriculum. This serves our students and the public interest as well. Exhibitions involving regional, national, and internationally recognized artists serve a vital role in the cultural life of the community. The Gallery organizes at least six exhibitions each year. All are free and open to the public. Transfer of Credits Transfer students must present an official transcript and a portfolio to petition course substitutions for visual arts program requirements. A minimum number of departmental residency hours is required for completion of degree programs: 19 credit hours for the BFA, 12 hours for BS and BA programs, 6 hours for minors. The University requires students seeking a second baccalaureate degree to complete a full year in residence and a minimum of 30 total credit hours. Studio Fees Studio fees are required in most visual arts classes. Check the current course schedule for exact amounts. Course Requirements Foundation Courses Required for All Art Majors (27 credit hours) The following are required for all BS/BA/BFA majors and should be completed by the end of the sophomore year. Studio Foundation courses are offered Fall and Spring semesters. Look for an "F" or a "Sp" at the end of Art History and advanced studio course titles to see when they are usually offered. An "e" or an "o" indicates that the course is offered only in even or odd years. Course offering schedules may change. Consult the current course schedule for the latest information.

Goddard School of Business & Economics majors are strongly encouraged to pursue advising opportunities in the Goddard School. Receiving timely advisement at critical junctures in an academic program will assist students in choosing the appropriate classes, in the appropriate sequence, and in preparing for employment opportunities. Advising for:  transfer credits, general education, business foundation courses, admission into the Goddard School, major selection, major requirements, minors, second degrees, and certificates is provided by the Goddard School Coordinator of Academic Advisement, Mara Sikkink, WB 211, (801) 626-6534 and the Goddard School Academic Advisor; Natasha Call, WB 211, (801) 626-6534;   major declaration is provided by the Goddard School major departments; major selection, employment preparation, including internships and resumes, and business etiquette is provided by the Goddard School Career Center, Patricia Wheeler, WB 213, (801) 626-7914. 592 Credit Policy 1. 2. Obsolete Credit: John B. Goddard School of Business & Economics credits and certain MATH courses (MATH 1050, 1080, or 1210) earned more than ten (10) years earlier than the proposed date of graduation will not be accepted toward University or major requirements unless validated through a challenge examination or approved by the appropriate academic department chair. Waiver Requests: Any exceptions to the printed Goddard School graduation requirements must be approved by the appropriate academic department chair prior to waiving, substituting, or taking the course(s) in question. Transfer Credit Policy 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Transfer students should submit transcripts from all institutions of higher education to the Weber State University Admissions office. Student Recruitment at (801) 626-6050 will consult with Admissions to determine which general education credits will be accepted by Weber State. Most courses with a grade of "C-" or higher are eligible for credit. However, some courses, such as the General Education MATH and ENGL Core requirements, may require a higher grade. Students should establish transfer of general education work prior to meeting with the John B. Goddard School of Business & Economics Advisement Center. The Advising Center will consult with Goddard School academic departments to determine credit toward specific Goddard School requirements and address further transfer issues. The Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) Transfer Credit Guide has been established to indicate articulation of equivalent courses between the in-state public colleges and universities. Credits from business courses transferred from institutions not covered by the USHE Transfer Credit Guide are accepted only if approved by the appropriate Goddard School academic departments. Documentation which allows the Advising Center and department chairs to assess the content of courses taken may be required. This documentation may include: catalogs or bulletins; course outlines or syllabi; and transcripts. In the majority of cases, course credit which is not obsolete (see above) taken at institutions accredited by AACSB International will be accepted and applied to the Goddard School's graduation requirements. The Goddard School may require validation for courses taken at other institutions before credit is applied to Goddard School requirements. This validation may consist of either: passing a challenge exam; or completing the next course in a related sequence with a grade of "C" or better. Validation may be required where upper division credit is sought for lower division course work taken at another institution. Students are reminded that the Weber State catalog states, "Acceptance of credit should not be confused with its application. Transfer credit may or may not apply to Weber State's graduation requirements, regardless of the number of credits transferred. Credit other than that intended wholly to meet general education requirements, will be applied to Weber State's specific degree program requirements upon the recommendation of the appropriate department chair." This means credit that is accepted by Weber State may, or may not, apply to specific requirements within the Goddard School. Students transferring credits from institutions outside the U.S. should follow the guidelines for International Students. Transfer credits should appear on the student's WSU transcript before meeting with the Goddard School Advising Center or major department chair.

Failure to maintain a 3.0 grade point average after two consecutive semesters, will result in academic probation in accordance with departmental policies. Students must meet with their academic advisor after notification of academic probation. Two consecutive 599 semesters of academic probation will result in suspension from the program. A waiver of suspension will be considered according to due process.  Credit Hour Requirements: The MBA degree ordinarily requires a minimum of 36 semester hours of graduate work for persons with a recent undergraduate business degree from an AACSB-accredited business school. Individuals with business undergraduate degrees from non-AACSB-accredited schools may be required to complete additional foundations course work contingent on departmental analysis of their undergraduate transcripts. For persons with a non-business undergraduate degree, the program typically requires 54 semester hours, including foundations or leveling courses. Exemptions from foundations courses may be made based on equivalent undergraduate coursework. Specific program and course requirements are shown below. Major Field Exemption Students with business-related undergraduate degrees are exempted from the required MBA course in their major field of study (e.g. accounting, finance, economics, information systems, marketing, management, supply chain management, human resources) and will take an additional elective MBA course in its place. The MBA Program Office must approve each MBA student's plan of study. The plan of study will show all courses necessary to meet the degree requirements. A formal plan of study will be filed when a student is accepted into the program. If students deviate from their program of study without PRIOR written and documented departmental approval, those courses will NOT be counted toward graduation. Taking unapproved courses will be a costly and time intensive mistake. If you are in doubt about a course, please call or email the office and make an appointment with your advisor BEFORE starting the class. Non-MBA Electives Qualified students may take up to two MACC (Master of Accounting), MHA (Master of Health Administration), or MTAX (Master of Taxation) courses as MBA electives, counting six credit hours toward their MBA elective requirements. Four MHA courses may be counted towards MBA elective requirements for dual MBA-MHA degree students. Transfer Credits/Residency Requirements The minimum residency requirements for the Goddard School MBA Program is two-thirds of the required number of credit hours for undergraduate business majors (the 36-hour track) and for non-business majors (the 54-hour track). Students who have completed business-related graduate course work at another AACSB-accredited institution prior to admission to the program may apply for transfer of graduate credits to satisfy their Goddard School MBA program of study, the number of transfer credits not to exceed the minimum residency requirements for the 36-hour or 54-hour program tracks (see above). Once admitted to the program, students may transfer only elective credits into the program from another AACSB-accredited institution. Required course credits may be accepted in transfer from another institution after admission to the Goddard School MBA Program only in circumstances where the student is unable to complete all required courses in residence due to relocation. All transfers are subject to program approval.

Capstone (3 credit hours)  MBA 6180 - Strategic Management Credits: (3) Master of Accounting Program (MACC) Program Director: Ryan Pace, 801-626-7562 Website: www.weber.edu/macc An accounting professional in today's environment must possess a high level of technical competence, a sense of commitment to service, communication skills, analytical skills, and the ability to work well with people. To obtain the required body of knowledge and to develop the skills and abilities needed to be successful accounting professionals, serious consideration must be given to study beyond a four-year baccalaureate program. The Master of Accounting (MACC) Program provides an additional year of training for the professional accountant. In addition, the MACC satisfies the requirements of 603 the Utah Certified Public Accountant Licensing Act for those wishing to sit for the Uniform CPA Examination. It gives the students an opportunity to increase the depth of their understanding in key areas and allows a broadening of perspective by providing course work in a variety of areas that cannot be considered in an undergraduate program due to time constraints.  Grade Requirements: A MACC student must complete all MACC program courses, including electives, with a grade of "C" or higher. In addition, the overall program GPA must be 3.0 or higher.  Credit Hour Requirements: The program requires a minimum of 30 semester hours beyond a bachelor's degree in accounting. Admissions Requirements  A four year Bachelor's degree. If the degree is not in Accounting, leveling courses will be required after acceptance into the program.   An acceptable GMAT score. Acceptable grade point average in each of the following three areas: a. Overall GPA b. The last 60 credit hours of undergraduate work c. Accounting course work only Applicants must submit an online application, GMAT, current resume, and transcripts from every institution of higher education attended. Two letters of recommendation are required. At least one of those letters should come from individuals who can evaluate the applicant's academic abilities. All letters should address the applicant's potential for successful graduate study. Each applicant is considered on an individual basis. Additional Admission Requirements for International Students: All international students and any applicant educated outside the U.S. must demonstrate proficiency in English. Those whose native language is not English, or whose language of instruction for their undergraduate degree was not English, will be required to submit a score from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or International Language Testing System (IELTS) which is not more than two years old. The TOEFL must have a minimum score of 80 (Internet-Based) and the IELTS must have a minimum of 6.5 with a minimum of 5.0 on each section. Application Application for admission to the Master of Accounting Program should normally be made by August 1 (fall semester), December 1 (spring semester), and April 1 (summer semester) of the year during which admission is sought. Application for admission must include GMAT scores, official undergraduate transcripts, resume, and two letters of recommendation. It is expected that the Master of Accounting Program will entail approximately two semesters of full-time study for a student with a bachelor's degree in accounting. Students with other business-related degrees can expect to spend about two years in the program. Those with non-business related undergraduate degrees should plan to spend at least three years in the program. Contact the School of Accounting & Taxation for a separate and detailed bulletin on the Master of Accounting Program. Advisement For questions concerning academic advisement, the primary source of contact will be the Master of Taxation Program Director. For issues regarding registration and scheduling, students will contact the School of Accounting & Taxation Administrative Specialist. Career services will be offered through the Goddard School of Business & Economics Career Center. 604 Course Requirements for Master of Accounting All MACC students are required to complete the following courses (18 credit hours):       MACC 6120 - Financial Accounting & Reporting Credits: (3) MACC 6130 - Governmental and Nonprofit Accounting Credits: (3) MACC 6160 - Financial Statement Analysis Credits: (3) MACC 6330 - Strategic Management Accounting Credits: (3) MACC 6560 - Advanced Auditing & Assurance Services Credits: (3) MACC 6610 - Advanced Accounting Information Systems Credits: (3) And are required to complete one of the following tax courses (3 credit hours):       MTAX 6400 - Tax Research & Communication Credits: (3) MTAX 6405 - Accounting for Income Taxes Credits: (3) MTAX 6430 - Advanced Individual Taxation Credits: (3) MTAX 6435 - State & Local Taxation/Federal Tax Practice Credits: (3) MTAX 6460 - Advanced Corporate Taxation Credits: (3) MTAX 6470 - Advanced Partnership Taxation Credits: (3) In addition to the previously listed courses MACC students are required to complete 9 hours of electives.

Master of Taxation (MTAX) Program Director: Ryan Pace, 801-626-7562 Website: www.weber.edu/mtax The tax laws are vast, complex, and dynamic. Basic tax courses at the undergraduate level do not provide sufficient breadth or depth of coverage for future CPAs and tax consultants. Consequently, instruction at the graduate level is necessary. Tax law is a major branch of accounting. The Master of Taxation degree gives more recognition to a graduate as a tax specialist than does a Master of Accounting degree. The program is designed to provide students with the highly technical and demanding skills necessary to be effective tax and business consultants. Students will also acquire important tools necessary for effective research and communication in taxation.  Grade Requirements: A Master of Taxation student must complete all MTAX program courses, including electives, and any leveling courses, with a grade of "C" or higher. In addition, the overall program GPA must be 3.0 or higher.  Credit Hour Requirements: The program requires a minimum of 30 semester hours beyond a bachelor's degree in accounting. Admissions Requirements  A four year Bachelor's degree. If the degree is not in Accounting, leveling courses will be required after acceptance into the program. 605   An acceptable GMAT score.

Three principles are central to our mission:  Education - The first, and foremost, is fostering learning through excellent teaching, individual attention, and scholarship, which develops, assesses, and disseminates good practice. 607  Research - The second is the application of theory to practice through applied research and scholarship, and the utilization of applied research to further learning in the classroom and through co-curricular activities.  Community - The third is advancing contemporary practice and creating learning opportunities by contributing to the accounting profession and to business and the community. The field of accounting encompasses the well-recognized profession of public accounting including auditing, management advisory services, and tax services; professional careers in industry such as management accounting (controllership), cost accounting, and internal auditing; careers in various governmental agencies and other accounting and business-related fields. (Accounting is defined as the process of gathering, classifying, interpreting, and presenting financial and non-financial information for decision-making purposes to diversified user groups.) Certification in public accounting in Utah requires 30 semester hours beyond a baccalaureate degree. Students should take advantage of opportunities to prepare themselves to sit for one of the professional examinations (such as Certified Public Accountant, Certified Management Accountant, and/or Certified Internal Auditor) at the culmination of their accounting program.

Accounting Departmental Honors Please see weber.edu/honors/contracts.html for a list of current Departmental Honors contracts and Departmental Honors Advisors. For additional information about the Honors Program, please refer to the Honors Program section of the WSU Catalog. 610 Department of Business Administration Department Chair: Michael Stevens Location: Wattis Business Building, Room 216 Telephone: Elizabeth Hill 801-626-6075 Professors: Anthony Allred, Stanley Fawcett, Taowen Le, Shane Schvaneveldt, Seokwoo Song, Michael J. Stevens, E. K. Valentin; Associate Professor: Randall Boyle; Assistant Professors: Clinton Amos, Jennifer Anderson, Evan Barlow, Sebastian Brockhaus, Jeffrey Clements, Amydee Fawcett, Wendy Fox-Kirk, Shaun Hansen, Jesse King, Skyler King, David Noack, David Read, Jeremy Suiter, Bryant Thompson; Instructor: Chuck Kaiser. The department offers a general management degree, which is the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA). The student who pursues the BSBA degree is seeking the most general business degree offered at the bachelor's level. This major has been described as an undergraduate MBA because of its emphasis on breadth of education across all of the functional areas of business. This degree would be especially appropriate for students who wish to prepare for a generalist career in management rather than a focused career in a specialized area of business such as finance or marketing. It is also a very appropriate degree for the entrepreneurial students who aspire to start or run their own business one day. Students wishing to focus their BSBA studies on a specific functional area can do so by obtaining a concentration or degree "emphasis" in one of the four following areas: Finance, Human Resource Management, Marketing or Supply Chain Management. Each of these emphasis areas is described in more detail below. In addition to the BSBA degree and its possible areas of emphasis, the department offers a separate bachelor's degree in Information Systems & Technologies which is described below. Business Administration Finance Emphasis After studying in the School's core courses about the various functions in organizations, the student who concentrates in finance learns how to acquire, allocate, and control a firm's financial resources efficiently. A background in finance will prepare the student to: (1) conduct detailed financial analyses; (2) relate the financial environment of an organization to the policies that organization will need for optimum returns; and (3) select and analyze investment opportunities for both individuals and organizations. Business Administration Human Resource Management (HRM) Emphasis The student who concentrates in Human Resource Management prepares to apply the knowledge and skills needed to design, manage and deliver key organizational HRM functions. Through this, the HRM professional aids the effective alignment of people management objectives with organizational strategy for the purpose of increasing organizational efficiency and effectiveness. In addition to the John B. Goddard School of Business & Economics core requirements, the HRM student studies organizational behavior, leadership and teamwork skills, continuous improvement, effective communication, and information technology. HRM students will also take specialized courses in employment and labor law, employee training & development, recruitment & hiring decisions, and compensation & benefits. Business Administration Marketing Emphasis This is the only marketing program on WSU's campus. Students concentrating in marketing specialize in course work that deals with business activities involved in developing, communicating, delivering, and exchanging value for all stakeholders. Courses provide students with traditional and digital marketing concepts--and experience in applying them. These courses prepare students to assume responsible positions in industry. Those desiring careers in marketing research or higher levels of corporate management are well prepared to enter graduate programs of their choice. Business Administration Supply Chain Management Emphasis Supply Chain Management (SCM) is "the value creation engine of every organization." 611 Everyone who participates in the creation and distribution of a product is part of a supply chain, and a Supply Chain Management major learns how to choreograph and manage this entire chain of activities from suppliers, manufacturers, service providers and distributors, to consumers. With its origins dating back to 1969, Weber State University's Supply Chain Management program is one of the oldest programs in the United States. Our program covers the depth and breadth of SCM, giving our students the foundation for successful careers in logistics, purchasing, operations, and other areas of supply chain management. Employers recognize our graduates as some of the best in the field, and demand for Weber State University SCM graduates is strong. Traditionally, graduates from our SCM program enjoy the highest average starting salary of all business majors, and job opportunities exceed the number of graduates. Global and area companies hiring our SCM graduates include Kimberly Clark, Toyota, Ford Motor Company, Autoliv, Orbital ATK, Intermountain Healthcare, Wal-Mart, J.C. Penney Company, UPS, Northrop Grumman, and the U.S. Air Force. In addition to many opportunities for internships, our supply chain management majors also receive several scholarships from professional associations and area companies. Information Systems & Technologies A bachelor's degree in Information Systems & Technologies provides students with a balanced education between business and information technologies. It provides students with a broad background in basic business knowledge, problem solving, and computer technology and skills. Graduates from this major are prepared to help organizations use computer technology to support their business processes and solve their business problems. Technologies that all IST majors study include software development, computer architecture, database design, computer networks, and systems analysis and design. In addition, students may also elect to study advanced networks, web development and management, and information security and computer forensics. Information Systems & Technologies graduates may work for a large organization, specializing in one aspect of information technology, or, they may work for a small firm as one of a few people who helps support all areas of the firm's computer technologies. The job will involve working with people to understand how they do their jobs and where computers can be most effective, implementing computer-based solutions, training people to use computer systems, installing and troubleshooting hardware, software, or networks, and helping management understand and plan for the best new technologies to integrate in the organization's business processes.

The career field selected will determine the educational goals a student must set and will be an important element in deciding which of the many avenues towards a bachelor's degree available in economics is best suited for you. Economics provides general analysis of decision making where resource constraints are present. Within the area of business, the fields of economics and finance are perhaps the most rigorous in terms of the use and application of mathematical and statistical reasoning. Students with a bachelor's degree in Business Economics are generally prepared to take entry level jobs in any area of business, but are particularly prepared for jobs that call for data analysis, pricing, purchasing, and report writing. Business economists are often employed in private business firms in the financial, retailing, and industrial sectors. A complete career guide is available from the department chairperson. A degree in Business Economics is also regarded by graduate business schools as excellent preparation for advanced work toward an MBA, as well as advanced degrees in other business related disciplines such as human resource management, public administration, finance, and international business. Students seeking an advanced degree in economics, law, other social and behavioral sciences, urban and regional planning, actuarial science, etc., should also investigate the General Economics Major. Center for Economic Education The Department has established a Center for Economic Education. Its basic function is to help educators in secondary and elementary schools improve their understanding and knowledge of economics. This will assist them in providing their students with the fundamental economic tools needed to evaluate complex national and international events that are a part of their daily existence.

The grade is determined by the faculty member responsible for the course and is based upon factors related to achievement of the course objectives. The grade is considered final unless an appropriate appeal is filed by the student. For the student who is dissatisfied with a grade and has reason to believe the grade issued is incorrect, the following appeal procedure is provided by the College and the University. Steps 1 and 2 of the process are considered informal appeals and are designed to provide an avenue for resolution without a formal hearing. Within fourteen (14) days of the beginning of the following term, the student shall confer with the instructor who issued the grade and outline the reason/s why he or she believes the grade to be incorrect. Step (If the faculty member is unavailable, the student must contact the faculty member's chairperson within 1 this same time period to request an extension of the time allowed for this step. Such permission must be obtained in writing.) Within seven (7) days of the student-faculty conference, the faculty member shall advise the student, in writing, of the outcome of the course grade review. If the student still considers the grade to be incorrect, the student may appeal the grade at the department level. This appeal must be in writing, must follow the procedures outlined in the College's Grade Appeal Step Process document, and must be filed not later than seven (7) days from the date of the completion of step 2 one. The College Grade Appeal Process document may be picked up from the department office or the office of the dean. 685 If, after completion of step 2, the student is still dissatisfied, the student should consult with the Step University's due process officer and may request that the case be reviewed by a Weber State University 3 hearing committee.

The application deadline is January 15 for the following fall semester. Applications received after the deadline will be considered on a rolling admissions basis if available slots still exist. Students are encouraged to apply by the January 15th deadline, as the program will likely reach capacity at that point. The online application may be accessed on-line at: weber.edu/athletictraining/graduateadmissions.html. Post-Admission Requirements After formal admission to the Athletic Training Master's degree program, students are required to complete an FBI background check and drug test. The WSU Master of Science in Athletic Training Program enters into Affiliation Agreements with multiple healthcare facilities and schools throughout the state. These agreements provide WSU MSAT students and faculty authorized access to facility resources and patients. In response to stipulations contained within one or more of these Agreements, the WSU MSAT requires students admitted to the program to submit to an FBI level criminal background check as well as a urine drug test. This screening process has been mandated by the WSU MSAT in an effort to more effectively protect the safety and well-being of the patients, clients, and residents of those facilities, and is fully supported by the Department of Athletic Training and Nutrition and the MSAT faculty. Both the background check and the drug test will be completed during the student's first semester. The expenses (approximately $80) will be paid for by the student. Additional Admission Requirements for International Students All international students and any applicants educated outside the U.S. must demonstrate proficiency in English. Those whose native language is not English, or whose language of instruction for their undergraduate degree was not English, will be required to submit an official score from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) which is not more than two years old and on which a minimum score of 563 (paper-based), or 85 (internet-based) has been earned. The MSAT Program also accepts the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) - applicants may have an official score report sent to the MSAT Program Director which is not more than two years old and on which a minimum score of 6.5 has been earned. Students who have not earned the minimum required English proficiency scores may still be admitted conditionally. These students would be required to begin ESL and other coursework at Weber State University one semester prior to beginning MSAT coursework. During this preparatory semester, students would be required to complete, with a grade of a C+ or better, approximately 8 credits of ESL courses and complete, with a grade of C or better, approximately 6 credits of MSAT prerequisite courses. The MSAT Program Director will determine which ESL and prerequisite courses are most appropriate based on the student's undergraduate coursework and English proficiency scores. 694 Minimum English Proficiency scores for conditional admissions: TOEFL (internet-based) - 70 TOEFL (paper-based) - 525 IELTS - 6.0 Selection Process 1. 2. 3. 4.

The selection committee is comprised of the MSAT faculty. The number of students chosen to enter the program each year will vary, in compliance with accreditation guidelines concerning clinical instructor-to-student ratios. Selection into the MSAT is competitive and satisfaction of the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Applicants not invited to enter the MSAT may reapply the following year. All applicants who reapply must meet all requirements in effect at the time of reapplication. Students who choose to reapply must review the program website and/or catalog for current admission requirements at that time. All students selected for the MSAT must provide evidence of being able to meet the Technical Standards for Admission of the program. Only those students who verify that they can meet those technical standards, with or without reasonable accommodations, will be allowed to enter the program. Retention Requirements 1. 2. After students are selected into the MSAT, retention in the program will be based on the following criteria: 1. Grade "B-" or better in all required courses (includes Graduate Practicum courses). 2. Maintain an overall Weber State University Graduate GPA of 3.0. 3. Adhere to MSAT Athletic Training Student Handbook Policies. Students who fail to meet the retention criteria will be placed on probation in the MSAT program for one semester. If standards are not met by the end of the probationary period, the student will be dismissed from the program. Students who receive a grade lower than a "B-" in any required course must repeat that course and receive a grade of "B-" or higher to remain in the program. Failure to repeat the course (when offered) will result in dismissal from the program. Students who receive a grade lower than a "B-" in two or more MSAT courses will be dismissed from the program. Advisement Students enrolled in the MSAT program will be assigned a faculty advisor. Students will be encouraged to meet with their faculty advisor at least once a semester and to engage in dialogue when necessary regarding academic success, clinical assignments, and/or personal or professional issues.

Students wishing to graduate with a major in athletic training must be admitted and (via the selection process outlined below) and provided an athletic training cohort code no later than the Spring 2018 semester and must begin the professional phase of the program no later than the Fall of 2018; no deferred applicants will be considered. Athletic Training Education is moving to master's level, meaning that individuals wishing to become a certified athletic trainer and sit for the National Board of Certification examination must have graduated from an accredited professional Master’s program. Weber State University offers this program currently; students who plan to become Certified Athletic Trainers and apply to an Athletic Training Master’s program may elect to major in Athletic Therapy and will be eligible to apply to WSU's Masters of Science in Athletic Training program. (Please see Athletic Therapy (BS) and Master of Science in Athletic Training (MS)). 702 Selection Process 1. 2. 3. 4. All applicants will be ranked using a numerical scale on the following criteria: 1. Cumulative Overall GPA [0-4 weight in selection formula = 20%] 2. AT 1500 - Introduction to Athletic Training (First Semester) grade [0-4 weight in selection formula = 20%] 3. AT 3300 Evaluation and Care of Musculoskeletal Injuries: Lower Extremities grade [0-4 weight in selection formula = 20%] 4. Letter of Application [0-4 weight in selection formula = 15%] 5. Strength of athletic training student's commitment as reflected in interview responses. [0-4 weight in selection formula = 25%] Students receiving the highest scores in the rating process will be invited to enter the athletic training major. The selection committee is comprised of the AT Program faculty and Weber State University AT students and/or preceptors. Approximately twenty students can be chosen to enter the major each year, in compliance with accreditation guidelines concerning preceptor-to-student ratios. Selection into the AT Program is competitive and satisfaction of the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Applicants not invited to enter the athletic training program may reapply the following year. All applicants who eventually re-apply must meet all requirements in effect at the time of application. Students are encouraged to contact the AT Program Director for current admission requirements. All students selected for athletic training program must provide evidence of being able to meet the Technical Standards for Admission of the program. Only those students who verify that they can meet those technical standards, with or without reasonable accommodations, will be allowed to enter the program. Retention Requirements 1. 2. 3. 4. After students are selected into the Athletic Training Major, retention in the program will be based on the following criteria: 1. Grade 'B-" or better in all athletic training major courses (includes clinical application courses). 2. Grade "C" or better in all the professional knowledge and support courses. 3. Students must maintain an overall GPA of 2.7. 4. Students must maintain a semester GPA of 3.0. 5. Adhere to Athletic Training Policies and Procedures. 6. Adhere to AT Program AT Student Handbook Policies. Students who fail to meet the retention criteria will be placed on probation in the Athletic Training major for one semester. If standards are not met by the end of the probationary period, the student may be dismissed from the major at the discretion of the program director. Students who receive any grade below a "B-" in an athletic training major course, or below a "C" in any professional knowledge course, and/or support course must repeat that course and receive the minimum grade or higher to remain in the major. Failure to repeat the course (when offered) will result in dismissal from the program. Athletic Training Policies and Procedures are available in the athletic training student handbook. Students who fail to earn a minimum grade of "B-" or higher in any clinical application or major required course will not be allowed to progress in the AT Program until they repeat the course and receive a grade of "B-" or higher. Students may only repeat a class once; failure to earn the minimum grade on the second attempt will result in dismissal from the program. Athletic Training Majors may NOT enroll in the on-line offerings of the athletic training courses (with the exception AT 3200). Students WILL NOT receive credit towards the major requirements for on-line AT courses (those which begin with notation "AT"). If a student has taken any on-line AT courses, prior to or following secondary admission to the AT Program, the student must retake those courses in the traditional face-to-face classroom setting. The hands-on skills taught in these classes are vital to the education of athletic training students. 703 General Education Refer to Degree and General Education Requirements for Bachelor of Science requirements.

Olmstead 801-626-7171 Advisement Contacts: Kristin Radulovich 801-626-6309; Natalie Struhs 801-626-6636 Professors: Michael Cena, Forrest Crawford, Louise Moulding, Peggy Saunders, Penée Stewart; Associate Professors: Melina Alexander, David Byrd, Ann Ellis, Kristin Hadley, Jack Mayhew, Natalie Allen Williams; Assistant Professors: Vincent Bates, Shirley Dawson, J. Roberto Garcia, Bonnie Hofland, DeeDee Mower, Clay Rasmussen, Sheryl Rushton, Gina Shelley, Nadia Wrosch The major purpose of the professional education programs in teacher education is to prepare candidates for teaching in elementary and secondary schools. Preparation is also provided for teachers of students with mild to moderate disabilities with the special education mild/moderate license. The department prepares students for endorsements in Mathematics, ESL (English as a Second Language), Dual Language Immersion, Basic Reading (graduate level only), and Education of the Gifted (graduate level only). All programs are accredited through the Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC). The preparation for teaching falls academically within four major categories: University General Education, support courses, subject specialization, and professional education. 1. 2. 3. 4. University General Education requirements -- In selecting courses to satisfy the general education requirements, candidates should note the general education courses recommended and/or required in their major and/or professional education requirement sheets available in the Teacher Education Advisement Center (ED 230). Support courses Specializations are required of all elementary candidates. Elementary education majors have two track options; K-6 and 1-8. The K-6 track requires one 9 credit specialization and a 9 credit early childhood specialization while the 1-8 track requires a 18 credit specialization or a teaching minor. The professional education program outlines acceptable subject specialization areas and requirements. Special Education majors choose one 9-hour specialization or a teaching minor. Secondary candidates completing a teaching major may be required to complete a teaching minor (refer to the teaching major program requirements). The teaching major and teaching minor must be in subjects taught in Utah public secondary schools. Professional Education courses help the prospective teacher learn about children, the nature of the learning process, and how to provide desirable learning experiences. To meet licensure requirements, secondary school candidates are required to complete a minimum of 24 semester hours of professional course work; 55 semester hours are required of the prospective elementary school teacher. Professional course work in the program is organized into sequential levels. As students move through the program, they are required to demonstrate in a variety of ways the knowledge, skills and dispositions that embody the department's organizing theme and program model. It is important that interested students contact the Teacher Education Advisement Center (ED 230) as quickly as they decide to become a teacher. Specific program admission requirements, required courses, and recommended general education course work are available. Admission to Teacher Education Admission to the Teacher Education Programs is a separate process from general university admission. The Teacher Education programs maintain a competitive admissions process. Applicants are provisionally admitted each semester after submitting their application materials and meeting the minimum admission criteria listed below. Students are admitted two times per year: fall semester and spring semester. Applicants are evaluated using a 100 point system using GPA, Praxis II/ACT scores, and interviews. 757 Minimum Admission Requirements 1. 2. Formal Application submitted online and provisional Admission form submitted to Teacher Education Advisement Center (ED 230 ) by the deadline date. Transcripts of all college course work must accompany the application along with a current degree evaluation. At least 40 semester hours of general education and relevant prerequisite courses. Those intending to teach Special Education or teach at the elementary level, please note: The Professional Education component of the Special Education major and the Elementary Education major requires four semesters to complete. Therefore, it is very important that candidates have completed the General Education requirements and have taken most of the required Support Courses prior to entering the program. Because of possible scheduling difficulties, failure to do so could mean spending an extra semester (or more) in completing the program. Those intending to teach at the secondary level, please note: The Professional Education component of the Secondary Education program requires two semesters to complete. Therefore, it is very important that candidates have completed the General Education requirements and most of the teaching major and minor requirements prior to entering the program. Because of possible scheduling difficulties, failure to do so could mean spending an extra semester (or more) in completing the program. 3. 4. 5. 6. Passing the appropriate Praxis II Content test or passing the ACT with the composite score of 21 with a verbal/English score no less than 20 and a mathematics/quantitative score of no less than 19 is reguired for all programs. The Utah State Office of Education specifies the passing score for each test. Students will not be considered for admission if they do not meet the state specified passing score on the Praxis II or ACT.

Two of five post-professional practice credentials (Certified PFT [CPFT] or Registered PFT [RPFT], Sleep Disorders Specialist [SDS] or Registered Polysomnographic Technologist [RPsgT], Adult Critical Care Specialist [ACCS], Neonatal/Pediatric Specialist [NPS], and Asthma Educator [AE-C]) relative to practitioner expertise are required for completion of the degree. Additionally, specific concentrations/emphasis of practice will prepare students for advanced careers in respiratory care. These concentrations are specifically intended for individuals with clinical experience pursuing advanced career pathways in administration, as college faculty, or as clinical researchers or health care consultants. Master of Science in Respiratory Therapy graduates participate in the health care arena as postprofessional leaders with roles as clinical respiratory therapists prepared to provide guidance and administrative leadership to departments and to undergraduates throughout the educational processes associated with providing, managing, coordinating, and consulting in respiratory care. The MSRT degree consists of 36 credit hours beyond the earned baccalaureate degree. This includes core courses in medical writing, medical pathophysiology, and medical ethics and law (9 credits), and providing a mechanism for two post-professional practice credentials. Additionally, concentrations chosen by the student in areas of health administration, college-level faculty or asthma educator, or clinical research (9 credits per concentration) are required for emphasis. MSRT students are required to complete 6 credits as a capstone project incorporating research principles learned throughout the curriculum. The MSRT program is developed with "hybrid" educational courses. This means the majority of coursework will be online with a few scheduled classroom experiences dependent on the area of concentration/emphasis chosen.

In addition, many students use the program to prepare themselves for graduate studies in health administration and other related disciplines. The program is uniquely structured to help practicing health professionals build upon their two year professional degree or credential while at the same time accommodating the more traditional four-year student. The curriculum is organized so that students may tailor their studies in any one of five emphases: Health Services Administration, Health Information Management (HIM), Health Promotion, Long-Term Care Administration, and Health Information Technology. All study emphases lead to a Bachelor's Degree except for Health Information Technology, which leads to an Associate of Applied Science degree, and Healthcare Coding and Classification, which leads to an Institutional Certificate. An Institutional Certificate is also offered in Health Information Management. The HAS program was developed to better prepare health practitioners and others to take advantage of the challenges and opportunities facing them as members of the nation's health care team. Study Emphases  Health Services Administration: Designed to provide health care practitioners and others with the skills and competencies to function as supervisors and managers in health care settings. In the changing health care environment, new and challenging demands are placed on health care personnel to expand 912 their conventional roles to include increased administrative responsibilities. The HSA curriculum provides a working foundation in management and interpersonal skills, while at the same time introducing the student to the health care delivery system and its many and varied issues and challenges. Graduates are not only better prepared to assume increased management responsibilities, but to do so with a better understanding of the complex system in which they work. The HAS emphasis is certified by the Association of University Programs in Health Administration.  Health Information Management: This profession focuses on health care data and the management of health care information resources. The profession addresses the nature and structure of health data and the translation of that data into usable forms of information which support the health care of individuals and populations. HIM professionals collect, integrate, and analyze primary and secondary collections of data and manage information resources related to the research, planning, provision, and evaluation of health care services. This emphasis provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to become self-directed learners who possess critical-thinking skills and problemsolving abilities, communication and interpersonal skills, a commitment to life-long learning, and important ethical values. The program fosters the acquisition of leadership abilities and systems thinking necessary for adapting careers within a changing health care environment. The HIM emphasis is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education, making students eligible to write the national certification exam of the AHIMA, the Registered Health Information Administrator.  Long-Term Care Administration: Prepares students to function as administrators in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. The curriculum is designed to provide students with a foundation in management principles and human relations, introduce them to the long term care field, and give them operational experience in nursing home management. To function as an administrator in long-term care, one must be licensed. For licensure, most states require the completion of a bachelor's degree in health administration or a related area, an extensive administrative internship, and the successful passing of an examination offered by the National Board of Examiners for Nursing Home Administrators. The LTC emphasis is certified by the Association of University Programs in Health Administration. Health Information Technology Health Information Technology is a program offered under Health Administrative Services. Health Information Technicians perform the essential functions of maintaining health data and records in acute, long-term, and ambulatory health care settings. Opportunities also exist in related health care settings, e.g., insurance companies, medical clinics, computer software vendors, and health maintenance organizations. These functions include, but are not limited to, the coding of diseases and operations, maintaining statistics, transcribing medical reports, performing DRG and utilization review procedures, supervising employees. In addition to classroom and laboratory course work, students participate in a supervised clinical experience in a hospital medical record department or other health information environment. The Health Information Technology program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education. Successful completion of the Health Information Technology two-year program leads to an associate of applied science degree and the student is then eligible to sit for the national certification exam. Students passing this national examination may use the professional designation Registered Health Information Technician. Healthcare Coding and Classification The program develops the ability of students to use the International Classification of Diseases, version 9 (ICD-9CM) and version 10 (ICD-10-CM), and the International Classification of Diseases, version 10, Procedural Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Common Procedural 913 Terminology (CPT) of the American Medical Association. The program develops expertise for both outpatient/office practice and acute-care inpatient levels of proficiency. Students will also use and apply both coding schemes in the systems of reimbursement for healthcare services.

Department of Medical Laboratory Sciences Department Chair: Scott Wright Program Director: Janet Oja Online Program Coordinators: Julie Kakazu, Cindi Kranek, Kandi Tait, Online Academic Advisor; Christy Achter, Practicum Coordinator Location: Marriott Allied Health Building, Rm 208 Telephone Contact, Department Secretary: Chris Housley 801-626-6118 Professors: Yas Simonian, Scott Wright; Assistant Professors: Matthew Nicholaou, Janet Oja, Ryan Rowe, Janice Thomas; Instructors: Kenton Cummins Professional Staff: Kent Criddle, Laboratory Manager Medical Laboratory Scientists (MLS) and Medical Laboratory Technicians (MLT) - also known as Clinical Laboratory Scientists (CLS) and Clinical Laboratory Technicians (CLT) - perform laboratory tests on patient samples to provide information needed to diagnose or monitor treatment. These professionals do everything from providing cancer-testing results, to predicting the correct antibiotic to prescribe, to typing the correct blood for surgery. Examples of common laboratory tests include tests to detect anemia, diagnose diabetes and strep throat, and provide a transfusion to an accident victim. Doctors rely on laboratory test results to make informed patient diagnoses. Patient history along with physical signs and symptoms are vital, but most diagnoses need confirmation that only laboratory tests can provide. The laboratory professionals provide answers to life-anddeath questions every day. The MLS program follows a ladder approach from the Associates of Applied Science (AAS) degree through a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree. Students interested in applying to the campus associate level MLT program must first meet with an academic advisor and complete prerequisite courses. If accepted into the MLT program, successful completion of two academic semesters leads to an Associates of Applied Science degree, and allows graduates eligibility to national certification (ASCP MLT). Qualified students wishing to continue can apply for acceptance into the MLS BS program, which generally requires two years of study and provides eligibility to national certification (ASCP MT) upon successful completion of all academic requirements. 926 Students interested in the online MLS AAS Program must be employed, or have the support of, a clinical laboratory. Students will receive the didactic (lecture) portion of each course online, while completing specific laboratory competencies in the clinical laboratory under the supervision of qualified clinical laboratory mentors where they work.

The curriculum model enables student progression through various preparation levels in accordance with individual ability, aspirations, career goals and changing life circumstances. The program ensures entry level practitioners by providing a foundation from the physical, biological, behavioral and nursing sciences for application in caring for clients in a variety of nursing environments. The nursing program embraces three levels of preparation for nursing practice: Associate's Degree Nursing (ADN), RN to BSN (BS), and Master of Science in Nursing (MSN). Educational offerings provide distinctive purposes and expectations for each level of nursing preparation while recognizing common areas of achievement within each level. Competency standards define graduate characteristics at each preparation level. 935 Four entry options are available for students. Two of these lead to licensure by examination at AS/AAS levels. The third option leads to a baccalaureate degree in nursing. The fourth option leads to a master of science in nursing with either a concentration in nursing administration or nursing education. Entry Options Registered Nurse (RN) [AS]: Two years are required for students entering this option. Students selecting this option must complete nursing major credits plus fulfill university general education credits required for graduation with an associate of science degree. Students selected for an associate of science degree in nursing may take the NCLEX-PN through the equivalency clause in the Utah Nurse Practice Act at completion of the first year. An additional year of course work entitles graduates to take the National Examination for licensure as a registered nurse. PN to RN Program (RN Completion) [AS/AAS]: This entry option is open to PN's and those eligible to take the NCLEX-PN. Students selecting this option must complete one additional year of nursing major credits plus fulfill university general education credits required for graduation with an associate of applied science / associate of science degree. Registered Nurse to BSN (RN-to-BSN) [BS]: The BSN Option is available to registered nurses who have completed an AS degree in nursing. Potential students must have an active unencumbered Utah license or plan to successfully pass the NCLEX-RN exam within the first semester of the BSN program. Previous graduates of an AAS degree will need to complete the WSU general education requirements for the AS Degree prior to requesting admission to the RN to BSN program. Admission is dependent upon program space availability. Master of Science in Nursing (MSN): The MSN program is designed to prepare 1) nurse administrators, 2) college-level nursing faculty, and 3) nurse educators employed within healthcare institutions. The concentrations of nursing educator and nurse administrator will prepare students for advanced careers in nursing. Both concentrations are specifically intended for individuals with nursing experience who want to advance their careers as nurse administrators or college faculty. Please refer to Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) for requirements. Licensure Applicants who have been convicted of a felony, treated for serious mental illness or substance abuse should discuss their eligibility status with the Utah State Board of Nursing. Acceptance to the nursing program does not assure eligibility for a RN license. The Utah Board of Nursing makes final decisions on issuance of professional licensure.

Department of Respiratory Therapy Department Chair: Paul Eberle, PhD, RRT Medical Director: Christopher Anderson, M.D. Location: Marriott Allied Health Building, Rm 309 Telephone Contact: Alisa Kimball, 801-626-7071 Professor: Paul Eberle; Associate Professors: Janelle Gardiner, Lisa Trujillo; Assistant Professors: Mich Oki Respiratory care professionals are actively involved, as members of the health care team, in the diagnosis, treatment, management, education, and long-term care of patients with cardiopulmonary problems. These patients may be in the newborn nursery, surgical/medical/rehabilitation units, outpatient clinics, Emergency Room, or cardiac/shock-trauma/burn/neurologic intensive care units. Respiratory Care Practitioners [RCPs] are employed in both acute and long-term care hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and home health agencies. Licensed RCPs perform therapeutic and diagnostic procedures under the direction of a physician. Respiratory care practitioners are competent in basic patient care and assessment, medical gas administration, aerosol and humidity therapy, medication administration, hyperinflation techniques, bronchopulmonary drainage and percussion, mechanical ventilation, airway management, advanced cardiac life support, pulmonary function 961 studies, and blood gas sampling and analysis. Patient education, smoking cessation/nicotine intervention, and health promotion are also included in the RCP scope of practice. The respiratory therapy program follows a career-ladder approach from the pre-professional level through a Bachelor of Science degree. The pre-professional level requires two academic years, leads to an Associate of Applied Science degree, and qualifies the student for the Respiratory Therapy Bachelor of Science program providing eligibility to national credentialing and licensure to practice respiratory care (RCP). Acceptance to the pre-professional level requires program completion through the Bachelor of Science degree level. Licensure Applicants who have been convicted of a felony, treated for serious mental illness or substance abuse should discuss their eligibility status with the Utah Department of Professional Licensing. Acceptance to the respiratory therapy program does not assure eligibility for a RCP license. The Utah Department of Professional Licensing makes final decisions on issuance of professional licensure. Any student that is convicted of a felony will be dismissed from the program.

We somehow manage to see a faint connection between plants and our basic needs of food, shelter, clothing, and energy, but only in a rather limited way. Remote connections are made, if any at all, between the history of exploration; present-day social, economic, and political conditions; and access to plants and plant products. Interest and understanding of plants is becoming much more intense. During the last few decades we have seen an unprecedented increase in the variety of plants and plant products available in our markets as the popularity of ethnic cuisines has grown. Also, worldwide, people are becoming increasingly aware of sound nutrition and the role plants play in our general health. We now appreciate plants as reservoirs of untold numbers of pharmaceuticals important in our war on diseases. These interests are stimulating our collective concerns about understanding the past, present, and future uses of plants. Recently we have begun to address our most serious problems, viz the loss of ecosystem integrity and habitats for animals dependent upon vegetation. This we have done through increased understanding of plants. We now know how valuable plants are in maintaining the health and stability of the global environment and that in its survival is the survival of the human species. Botany is the study of all aspects of plants, including systematics, morphology, diversity, metabolism, and ecology. Through a study of plants, students gain an understanding and an appreciation of life at the cellular, organismal, population, and community levels of organization. The study of Botany can lead to a variety of professional careers, including soil science, forestry, range management, biotechnology, plant breeding, horticulture, marine biology, environmental science, natural medicine, and teaching. The Botany Department at Weber State University offers undergraduate training in all areas of botany. Individuals who choose to study botany fall into three broad groups. In order to serve each group effectively, the Botany Department offers a Botany Major with three tracks. Track A is designed to prepare students for careers in laboratory research or post-baccalaureate studies at graduate or professional schools. Track B is designed to prepare students for field-related careers such as ecology, environmental science, and natural resource management. Track C, with greater flexibility through more elective courses, is designed to meet the needs of students who wish to be more broadly trained because of general interests in Plant Biology or of those students who enter the program with an Associate of Science Degree. Botany majors in all tracks develop a portfolio. The portfolio is a multidimensional collection of both student and faculty selected materials that are both developmental and representational in nature. Within the portfolio, students can document their acquisition of a variety of skills, including critical thinking, scientific reasoning, writing, speaking, and effective arguing. The portfolio is used for assessment purposes in addition to serving as an incentive to the student for developing good habits in assembling and organizing materials of relevance to themselves and others, such as personnel managers or graduate school selection committees. The department 1091 has also developed an undergraduate thesis program which provides a desirable capstone experience for many of the Botany majors. The Botany Department cooperates in offering a Biology Composite Teaching Major; this program prepares individuals who are interested in teaching Biology at the secondary school level (described under the Department of Zoology in this catalog). The Botany Department meets the needs of students interested in pursuing post-baccalaureate professional degrees and certificates at schools of natural medicine, botanical medicine, naturopathy, and Chinese medicine through Option 2 of the Track A Botany Major, Pre-Natural Medicine. The department also serves students who are interested in baccalaureate-level professional programs in Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry, and Range Management. After completing a Pre-Agriculture, Pre-Horticulture, Pre-Forestry, or Pre-Range Management program at Weber State, a student must continue his or her education at another institution in order to obtain a baccalaureate degree in one of these fields. The catalog of the school to which the student plans to transfer should be consulted as a guide in registering for courses at Weber State. The Botany Minor provides valuable support for students majoring in a variety of other fields, including anthropology, geosciences, and zoology. Herbarium The Herbarium of Weber State University is housed on the fourth floor of the Science Lab Building and contains more than 24,000 preserved plant specimens collected from Utah and the Western United States. This collection serves as an important reference for students, faculty, biologists, and all others who need to know the identity of plants, or learn something about their geographic distributions and ecological associations. It also serves as the repository of the plants collected for the Institute of American Indian Botany. Institute of American Indian Botany The Institute is dedicated to the study of American Indian Botany and provides a place where all of those who have interest can learn, conduct research, teach, and preserve for generations yet to come, this segment of our great American heritage. Biotechnician Training Program The Department of Botany participates with the Departments of Microbiology and Zoology in the Associate of Science degree and 3rd year Certificate in Biotechnician training for the biotechnology industry. This program is described earlier in this College of Science section of the catalog. Biology Composite Teaching Major See the Department of Zoology in this catalog for program requirements.

This course replaces the need to take MATH 0990 and MATH 1010, but it is not a combination of the two courses. Curriculum is focused on learning how to think and reason mathematically and is not algebra intensive. This course meets four days a week in a classroom with an instructor. Collaborative learning is a key element of this course. MATH 0950 is a prerequisite for this course. This course cannot be transferred to another institution. TERM (available for MATH 0950, MATH 0990, and MATH 1010) Technology Enhanced Redesign of Mathematics (TERM) courses are computer-based plus personal, individualized instruction. More than one course can be completed in one semester. Students attend class one day a week and attend at least two additional hours per week in the math tutoring center (the Hub). Students in TERM should be self-motivated and have good time management skills. TERM courses prepare students for MATH 1030, MATH 1040 or MATH 1050. Online (available for MATH 0950, MATH 0990, and MATH 1010) Courses use computer-based instruction. More than one course can be completed in one semester. No on-campus attendance is required, but local students are welcome to use the math tutoring center (the Hub) for instruction and testing. Students in online courses should be self-motivated, have good time management skills, consistent access to a computer and excellent technology skills. All quizzes and tests must be proctored, which may require additional fees. Online courses prepare students for MATH 1030, MATH 1040 or MATH 1050. Flipped Math (available for MATH 0950, MATH 0990, and MATH 1010) Courses meet 4 days a week in a classroom with an instructor. Students take notes while reading the e-textbook and/or watching video lectures before class, then work in groups during class to learn the course content. Homework and tests are taken online. This course is best for students who prefer a structured schedule and a social learning environment. Flipped courses prepare students for MATH 1030, MATH 1040 or MATH 1050. Placement in Mathematics Courses To prevent delay of graduation, all students requiring developmental courses need to begin those courses immediately and stay registered in mathematics until completing a Quantitative Literacy course. Developmental Math courses provide foundational skills necessary for college level courses. Students are placed into mathematics courses using a weighted rubric of high school GPA and Math ACT scores. of high school GPA and Math ACT scores. If you do not have a high school GPA and/or ACT score, or if you wish to challenge your course placement, you should take the Math Mastery Exam. Department of Mathematics Department Chair: Paul Talaga Telephone Contact: Debi Larson 801-626-6095 Professors: Afshin Ghoreishi, Kent Kidman, George Kvernadze, Timothy Steele, Paul Talaga; Associate Professors: Chloe Cai, Mihail Cocos, Sandra Fital-Akelbek, Matthew Ondrus, James Peters; Assistant 1126 Professors: Mahmud Akelbek, Rachel Bachman, Julian Chan, Cora Neal; Instructor Specialist: Dixie Blackinton From data mining to forensics, mathematics is the language of choice for an ever increasing number of disciplines. The scientist, the engineer, the actuary, the financial planner - all use algebra, geometry, calculus and statistics. But also the voter needs to understand these concepts, albeit at a less advanced level, to reach informed decisions about a multitude of issues from utility rates and retirement saving to information security and global warming. The Department of Mathematics offers a variety of courses (from general interest to advanced levels of applicability), two minors, departmental honors, and three majors. The Mathematics major may be the best choice for someone planning to go directly to graduate school; the Applied Mathematics major prepares one for a job that uses mathematics; the Mathematics Teaching major prepares students to be teachers of mathematics in elementary through high school. Prerequisites Since each course in mathematics requires a working knowledge of principles from prerequisite courses, students are required to earn a "C" grade in each prerequisite course before registering for the next course. Placement Weber State University students will be placed into mathematics courses by the following procedure. To enroll in mathematics courses MATH 1030 , MATH 1040, MATH 1050, MATH 1060 , or MATH 1080 a student must have within the past 24 months either: Received a Math ACT score of 23 or above or Scored sufficiently high on a placement exam at the WSU testing center, or Completed the prerequisite course with a grade of "C" or higher. Students who score below 23 on the Math ACT may be placed into developmental courses. See the math placement standards listed in the WSU Core General Education Requirements. To enroll in Mathematics courses numbered 1210 through 2210, a student must have within the past 24 months either: Obtained the appropriate AP Calculus score described below: Five on the BC test places the student in MATH 2210 or higher Three or four on the BC test places the student in MATH 1220 Four or five on the AB test places the student in MATH 1220 Three on the AB test places the student in MATH 1210 or Scored sufficiently high on a placement exam at the WSU testing center. or Completed the prerequisite course(s) with a grade of "C" or higher. Failure to comply with this policy will normally result in the cancellation of the student's math course registration. It is recommended that students have their programs (majors and minors) approved before registering for upper division courses. 1127 Mathematics, Pre-Major (AS) Program prerequisite: None Grade Requirements: A grade of "C" or better in courses required for this major (a grade of "C-" is not acceptable), in addition to an overall 2.0 GPA and a 2.0 GPA in mathematics classes numbered 1210 or above.

For additional information about the Honors Program, please refer to the Honors Program section of the WSU Catalog. 1155 Department of Physics Department Chair: Colin Inglefield Location: Science Lab, Room 202 Telephone: Nereyda Hesterberg 801-626-6163 Web Site: weber.edu/physics Professors: Ronald Galli, Colin Inglefield, Adam Johnston, Stacy Palen, Daniel Schroeder, John Sohl, Walther Spjeldvik; Associate Professors: John Armstrong, Michelle Arnold; Assistant Professor: Kristin Rabosky; Visiting Professor: Kelly Spirito Physics is the study and application of the fundamental laws of nature, including the laws of motion, gravity, electromagnetism, heat, and microscopic interactions. These laws govern the behavior of objects at all scales, from the smallest subatomic particles to the entire observable universe. In between, physicists study nuclear reactions, the interaction of atoms with light, properties of materials, the chaotic dynamics of fluids, and the evolution of stars and galaxies, among many other applications. Our courses in physics introduce all of the most important fundamental laws and many of their applications. Equally valuable, however, are the skills that students develop in these courses, from analytical thinking and problem solving to experimental design and interpretation. Majoring in physics can thus prepare a student for a variety of careers in research, education, business, industry, and government. The Department offers three major programs: Physics, Applied Physics, and Physics Teaching. The Physics major places emphasis on understanding nature at the deepest possible level, and offers options that emphasize fundamental theoretical physics, astrophysics, computational physics, and physics of materials. Each of these options provides a strong foundation for graduate work. The Applied Physics major places more emphasis on physical phenomena and hands-on experience. Thus, it is more suitable for those planning to go either directly into industrial employment or into graduate programs in certain applied fields. The Physics Teaching major is designed specifically for those planning to teach physics at the secondary school level. Students who are majoring in other disciplines are encouraged to consider a minor in physics, which includes a year of introductory physics plus eight credit hours of additional physics courses. These electives may be chosen to emphasize basic theory, experimental techniques, or applied subfields such as optics and astrophysics. Physical Science Composite Teaching (BS) Program Prerequisite: Composite Teaching majors must meet the Teacher Education admission and licensure requirements (see Teacher Education Department). Minor: Not required. Grade Requirements: A grade of "C" or better in courses required for this major (a grade of "C-" is not acceptable). Also refer to the general grade requirements for graduation on Degree and General Education Requirements. Credit Hour Requirements: A total of 120 credit hours are required for graduation; a minimum of 69 of these is required within the major. A total of 40 upper division credit hours is required (courses numbered 3000 and above); a minimum of 13 of these is required within the major. Advisement Teaching majors are encouraged to consult with advisors in both the College of Science (call 801-626-6160) and the College of Education (call 801-626-6269).

Department of Zoology Department Chair: Christopher Hoagstrom Location: Science Lab, Room 402 Website: www.weber.edu/zoology Telephone Contact: Monica Linford 801-626-6165 Professors: Nicole Berthélémy, John Cavitt, Jonathan Clark, Ron Meyers, John Mull, Robert Okazaki, Barbara Trask, Samuel Zeveloff; Associate Professors: Brian Chung, Christopher Hoagstrom, Jon Marshall, Michele Skopec Zoology is the study of animals. It includes a tremendous diversity of subdivisions and approaches. These range from using electron microscopy to study cells, to field examinations of natural populations. Some zoologists focus their studies on a specific group of animals; others specialize on problems or processes, such as those in physiology or genetics, which are common to many groups. Zoologists have made many important contributions to our understanding of the natural world. Furthermore, they benefit humankind through their work in areas such as medicine and environmental conservation. Although our majors pursue several tracks, many are involved in pre-medical professional training.

Environmental Studies Minor Coordinator: Dr. Alice Mulder Location: SS 302 Telephone: 801-626-6198 The Environmental Studies Minor is an interdisciplinary degree that focuses on the work of science in human activity. The curriculum is rooted in science to ground factual knowledge. However, its trunk is solidly comprised of social science and humanities courses because they teach the application of science in policy-making, business decisions and historical precedent even as they call upon the arts for their expression and upon ethics in consideration of health and social justice issues. The minor reaches across campus because all disciplines play an essential role in shaping environmental thought. Students will gain an appreciation for local, national and international environmental issues and problems as well as their potential solutions. They will develop a personal philosophy about the environment's role in their lives and their own ability to affect nature and their physical environment by making ethical choices. Grade Requirements: A grade of "C" or better is required for all courses. 1272 Credit Hour Requirements: A minimum of 25 credit hours is required, at least 15 of these must be upper division (numbered 3000 or higher).

Department of Political Science and Philosophy Department Chair: Thomas Kuehls Location: Social Science Building, Room 280 Telephone Contact: Debra Strait 801-626-6694 Professors: Richard Greene, Thomas Kuehls, Leah Murray, T. R. Reddy; Associate Professors: Robert Fudge, Gary Johnson; Assistant Professors: Richard Price, Mary Beth Willard, Stephanie Wolfe 1288 Political Science Political Science, in the broadest sense, is the study of politics particularly as it relates to governments and people. Political scientists study governments: The origins and preconditions for governments, the growth and evolution of governments, and the decline and conflict among governments. Political scientists also are interested in how governments are structured, how governments make decisions, the policies that result from political decisions and the consequences of these policies, and how governments manage societal and international conflicts. Political scientists also study people: Their values and positions on issues, their preferences among candidates, their support for public officials, and their appraisals of their government. True to their oldest academic traditions, political scientists retain their concern with the fundamental questions of how governments ought to be constituted, and how they can best serve their citizens. The study of political science has value in several different ways. First, it contributes to a solid liberal arts education and preparation for citizenship. The Greek word "idiot" was used to refer to one who took no interest in the affairs of state. Today, no less than twenty centuries later, it is incumbent upon all useful citizens to learn something about the political system in which they will spend their lives. Educated people ought to know something of the nature of government even if they have no professional interest in political science. Second, a degree in political science furnishes an excellent background for graduate study in political science, law, administration, business, and international relations. Political science helps students develop reasoning and analytical skills and build competence in oral and written expression. In addition, the department of political science requires students to acquire basic skills in statistical analysis and computer competency. Third, there are some careers for which an extensive training in political science can be most useful. This is true especially for those planning to seek careers in higher education, the legal profession, state and local government, urban planning, the federal bureaucracy, journalism, the military, law enforcement, teaching, the civil service, or in any of the proliferating organizations that seek to monitor the political processes to influence content of public policy. Further, the training students receive in political science will be useful to students no matter what their ultimate career choices. The comprehensive career guide, Careers and the study of Political Science, is available from the department chair. Internships Internships are offered through the Political Science program and the Walker Institute of Politics and Public Service to provide students practical understanding of political processes in governmental organizations. Many students have received practical training and gained valuable knowledge by working with United States senators, members of Congress, and Utah State senators and representatives. Moreover, some students work as interns in City and County administrations and in the Utah Legal Services office in Ogden. Pre-Law The pre-law advisement program is designed to assist students in scheduling courses, in preparing for the law school admissions test, and in obtaining admission at one of the nationally recognized law schools. Data on the placement of graduates in law schools show the success and the immense value of the program to students. (Dr. Richard Price acts as the Pre-Law Advisor.) Interdisciplinary Minors The Political Science Department participates in the Asian Studies, Environmental Studies, European Studies, International Politics, Latin American Studies, Legal Studies, and Public Administration Minor Programs and the Urban and Regional Planning Emphasis Program. Students who wish to enroll in one of these programs should indicate their desire to do so with the program coordinator who will help them work out a proper combination of courses to fit their particular needs. (See the Engaged Learning, Honors, and Interdisciplinary Programs section of this catalog.) 1289 Philosophy The philosophy program offers courses that fall under three general categories: 1) Liberal Education: teaches the ideas of influential past and contemporary thinkers who have sought to understand the world and our experience of it. These ideas concern such topics as the nature of truth and reality, the limits of knowledge, standards of right and wrong, the experience of beauty, and world religions. 2) Methodology: emphasizes methods of sound practical reasoning, deductive logic, and language analysis. 3) Application: critically analyzes non-philosophical disciplines. For example, the philosophy of democracy analyzes the value assumptions behind democratic forms of government, while medical ethics seeks to identify and resolve dilemmas arising from conflicts between medical technology and the quality of life.

Department of Psychology Department Chair: Aaron Ashley Location: Social Science Building, Room 370 Telephone Contact: Mickey Cole 801-626-6247 Professors: Eric Amsel, Lauren Fowler, Azenett Garza, Joseph Horvat, Leigh Shaw; Associate Professors: Aaron Ashley, Todd C. Baird, Theresa Kay; Assistant Professors: Shannon McGillivray, Melinda RussellStamp; Instructors: Jordan Hyde, Maria Parrilla de Kokal, Doug Richards The reasons for selecting a major, minor, or BIS emphasis in Psychology are to understand human behavior and to prepare for careers working or doing research with people. The program is designed for students to learn the core content of psychology and the foundational methods of psychological inquiry, as well as to have opportunities to integrate and apply psychological concepts. Students majoring (including teaching majors) in Psychology have a program of study which provides training in the foundation in the field but allows for additional coursework in students' areas of interest. BIS students are trained in the conceptual and methodological foundation of the discipline while pursuing topics of interest in the field and related ones. Minors are fee to pursue topics of interest to augment their major without the requirement that they acquire the discipline's foundational knowledge, skills, and abilities. Psychology Curriculum, Requirements, and Policies The Psychology Department offers a 45 credit hour major, a 20 hour BIS emphasis, and an 18 credit hour minor. The curriculum provides classes addressing the conceptual, methodological, and statistical knowledge of the discipline (Core General Courses), the breadth of the discipline (Core Content Courses), and the integration and application of the discipline (Capstone Experience). Additional classes provide greater content area specialization (Elective Group A) and experiential or individualized instruction opportunities (Elective Group B). 1315 All Psychology major (including teaching major) and minor students must meet with the designated Department Adviser as soon as they declare to plan their course of study. BIS students with an emphasis in psychology must additionally have their psychology courses approved by the designated Department Adviser (Advising Policy). To count towards students' degree in Psychology, psychology courses must be passed with a grade of C or higher (Course Grade Policy). Students declaring a Psychology major, minor, or BIS emphasis in a given catalog year can apply previously completed courses towards their degree (see Course Grade Policy) as long as the courses were taken no longer than 15 years prior to the date of declaration (Course Sunset Policy). A student with a Psychology major, minor, or BIS emphasis must earn at least a 2.50 Psychology GPA for courses being used for graduation (Psychology GPA Policy). Students may transfer undergraduate psychology credits from any other accredited institution of higher education toward their degree (see the Sunset Policy) by submitting a request through the University's Transfer Office. Couses taught in departments other than Psychology will not generally transfer as Psychology courses. Lower division (1000- or 2000-level) courses at another institution will not generally count as equivalent to upper division (3000- or 4000-level) WSU courses. To challenge a transfer articulation, please contact the Department Chair with documentation including the syllabi from the courses taken (Transfer Articulation Policy). Students who are majoring in Psychology must complete at least 9 credit hours of Psychology courses (see Course Grade Policy) in residence at Weber State University; students who are minoring in Psychology must complete at least 6 credit hours of Psychology courses (see Course Grade Policy) in residence at Weber State University (Residency Requirement).

Course Designations: DV = Fulfills a University Diversity Requirement SS = Fulfills a Social Science General Education Requirement Department of Social Work and Gerontology Department Chair: Mark Bigler Location: Social Science Building, Room 140 Telephone Contact: Tracy Hicks, 801-626-6157 Professor: Mark Bigler, Associate Professors: Kerry Kennedy-Pressey, Corina Segovia Tadehara; Assistant Professor: Barrett Bonella; Instructors: Kristina Moleni, Steve Vigil Social Work The goal of social work education at every level is for students to integrate the knowledge, skills, and values of the profession into a generalist practice framework. Social work education takes place in four year undergraduate and two-year graduate programs and leads to professional degrees at the baccalaureate and master's levels, respectively. These levels of education differ from each other in the level of knowledge and skill they expect students to synthesize in practice competence. These distinctions and the discretion provided by the tradition of academic freedom contribute to the desired uniqueness of each program. The Social Work program at Weber State University is accredited at the baccalaureate level by the Council on Social Work Education. Social Work is a self-regulating profession with sanction from public, private and voluntary auspices. Through all its roles and functions and multiple settings, social work is based on knowledge and competence in evidencebased practice skills, and is guided by professional values and ethics. With its central focus on the transactions between people and their environments, social work uses research and theory from social, behavioral, and biological sciences as well as from social work practice itself, developing a unique perspective on the human condition. Sound curriculum designs give the educational program the integrated focus inherent in the profession's enduring philosophical base. This ensures historical continuity and provides a stable framework from which to assess and incorporate practice innovations, emerging knowledge, and interdisciplinary exchanges. This combination of curricular stability and flexibility is essential if the program is to respond effectively to changing social forces and provide leadership in the profession's ongoing quest for progressive social change. It is, therefore, essential that all professional social workers have in common knowledge, skills, and values that are generally transferable from one setting, population group, geographic area, or problem to another. 1325 The Social Work program is designed to: (1) prepare students for generalist entry-level social work practice; (2) prepare students for graduate social work education; (3) prepare students to take the Social Service Worker licensing examination; (4) provide a liberal, interdisciplinary learning experience to help students in their understanding of and adjustment to living in a democratic society; and (5) provide continuing educational opportunities for baccalaureate and paraprofessional social welfare providers. Gerontology Gerontology is the multi-disciplinary study of the processes of aging from conception to death with special focus on the later life cycle and the problems associated with aging and the aged in society. Individuals working in the field of aging need a broad range of knowledge that transcends a single academic discipline. The Gerontology Program at Weber State University is designed to: (1) provide preparation for employment in both the private and public sector including working with senior citizen centers, nutrition programs, housing projects, long-term care facilities, state and local aging programs, Hospice, research, senior volunteer programs, job services, retirement planning and other age-related employment; (2) provide continuing education for job enrichment and preparation for persons already in the aging employment sector through consultation, workshops and academic courses to enhance career opportunities; (3) provide general education courses designed to assist students in understanding and dealing with older persons within their family and society at large; (4) encourage students to go directly into aging employment and/or to seek graduate degrees in gerontology or related fields leading to positions in national, regional and local aging network sectors.

Sociologists investigate the structure of groups, organizations, and societies, and how people interact within these contexts. Since all human behavior is social, the subject matter of sociology includes, but is not limited to, street crime and delinquency, corporate downsizing, how people express emotions, welfare or education reform, how families differ and flourish, divisions of ethnicity, gender and social class, religious cults, medicine, media, and other social phenomena. Because sociology addresses the most challenging issues of our time, it is a rapidly expanding field whose potential is increasingly tapped by those who craft policies and create programs. Few fields have such broad scope and relevance for research, theory, and application of knowledge. Sociology is a popular major for students planning futures in such professions as law, business, education, architecture, politics, public administration, urban planning and development, human services, and a myriad of other professions. It also provides a solid foundation for pursuing graduate degrees in related fields. Although a career as a sociologist requires a Master's Degree or PhD, an undergraduate education in sociology can be applied to almost any profession a student pursues. Interdisciplinary Minors The Sociology Department participates in the Asian Studies, Ethnic Studies, European Studies, Legal Studies and Women's Studies Minor Programs and the Urban and Regional Planning Emphasis Program. Students who wish to enroll in one of these programs should indicate their desire to do so with the program coordinator who will help them work out a proper combination of courses to fit their particular needs. (See the Engaged Learning, Honors, and Interdisciplinary Programs section of this catalog.) Anthropology 1343 Anthropology Coordinator: Dr. Brooke Arkush, 801-626-7202 Anthropology takes a holistic approach to describing and explaining human differences and similarities around the world and throughout time. It looks at humans both culturally and biologically within an ecological context. It examines contemporary humans as well as those of the historic and prehistoric past and searches for patterns of human existence. Specialized fields include archaeology, linguistics, ethnology, and biological anthropology. Students are taught to question and examine the significance of beliefs, attitudes and prejudices, and to understand the anthropological position of relativism and valuing cultural and biological variation. The program prepares students for a broad range of public and private sector employment in anthropology-related fields or to enter professional or graduate schools appropriate to their interests. Anthropology is an essential discipline in the 21st Century, contributing knowledge for successful living and working in our diverse human world. Interdisciplinary Minors The Anthropology Program participates in the Asian Studies, Ethnic Studies, Environmental Studies, European Studies, Latin American Studies, Linguistics, and Women's Studies Minor Programs. Students who wish to enroll in one of these programs should indicate their desire to do so with the program coordinator who will help them work out a proper combination of courses to fit their particular needs. (See the Engaged Learning, Honors, and Interdisciplinary Programs section of this catalog.) Archaeological Technician (AAS) Archaeological Technician Director: Brooke Arkush Telephone Contact: 801-626-7202 Archaeology can be an emphasis within the anthropology major or minor, part of a Bachelor of Integrated Studies degree, or stand alone as an independent program. The program trains students for work as archaeological technicians, adding a vocational component to an academic discipline. Archaeology, with its modern emphases on scientific problem solving, an evolutionary perspective, and ecological theory, is also a valuable part of a student's science education. Grade Requirements: A minimum grade of "C" in courses counted toward fulfilling the major (a grade of "C-" is not acceptable) and an overall GPA of 2.00. Credit Hour Requirements: Minimum of 26 credit hours for the Institutional Certificate, which must include ENGL 1010 (3) or equivalent.

Nierman Location: Annex 11/Mail Code 4501 Telephone Contact: Georgia Gilbert 801-626-6518; FAX 801-626-7651 Military Science (Army ROTC) focuses on leadership development. Students pursue the major of their choice while studying Military Science, and graduate with the ability to function effectively as leaders. Upon completion of Army ROTC and graduation from college students become commissioned officers in the active Army, Army Reserve or National Guard. Instructors, uniforms and equipment are provided at no cost to the student or the University. All contracted students receive $300- $500 per month ($3,000-$5,000 per academic year). Army ROTC also covers the cost of tuition and fees for Army ROTC scholarship students and provides a book allowance of $1,200 per academic year. The Margin of Difference. Army ROTC cadets learn to be leaders and receive hands-on experience in managing physical, financial, and human resources. They develop self-confidence and superior decision-making skills. Employers value these leadership qualities and recognize associated potential. Four-Year Program. The traditional Army ROTC program covers four years consistent with normal undergraduate progression (freshman-senior). The four-year program is divided into two parts called the basic course and the advanced course. The basic course is usually taken during the first two years of college. It covers subjects such as land navigation, leadership development, small unit tactics, weapons marksmanship and military history. This program is designed for high performing students who wish to try Military Science without obligation, while enhancing their leadership skills and self-confidence. Upon successful completion of the basic course, students are eligible to enter the advanced course. Advanced course requirements are normally completed during the junior and senior years. The advanced course further develops and refines leadership competencies, and qualifies the student for a commission in the United States Army. Advanced course students receive a $450 (Junior year) - $500 (Senior year) per month tax-free subsistence allowance [$4,500 (Junior year) - $5,000 (Senior year) per year]. Two-Year Program. This is a special program for junior and community college transfers or students who did not take Army ROTC during their first two years of college. To enter the two year program, a student first participates in a four-week leadership training course. This usually takes place between the sophomore and junior year. Students are paid for attending this instruction, have the opportunity to compete for two-year scholarships, and may receive academic credit. Scholarships. Army ROTC provides numerous scholarship opportunities. All WSU contracted cadets receive some form of financial assistance, which can include up to 100% tuition, fees, books and other costs paid. High school seniors may qualify for the four-year Army ROTC scholarship. College students may qualify for four, three, or two-year scholarships. Students may choose from two different options. The first option pays the cost of tuition and fees and a flat rate for textbooks and classroom supplies. The second option pays the students up to $10,000 for housing and the same flat rate for textbooks and classroom supplies. The Green to Gold scholarship allows Soldiers serving on active duty to leave the Army early and attend college/ROTC full-time while receiving scholarship benefits. Other scholarship opportunities include: room and book grants and the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) program. Nursing students qualify for additional incentives. Call or visit the Department of Military Science for details. Placement Credit For Veterans. Veterans may qualify for advanced course placement based on prior military experience. Concurrently, they can take full advantage of veteran's benefits and receive financial aid for Army ROTC participation. 1365 Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP). This program is available to cadets who wish to serve in the Army Reserve or National Guard while attending college and pursuing a commission through Army ROTC. SMP students are eligible to receive Reserve drill pay, tuition assistance, other monetary incentives, and $350-$500 per month ($3,000-$5,000 per academic year) from Army ROTC. Call or visit the Department of Military Science for details. Leave of Absence. Students, including scholarship recipients, who wish to take a leave of absence to serve a mission for their church can do so conveniently before the start of the Junior year. Commission Requirements. In order to qualify for a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army, each student must: Complete all required Military Science instruction while attending college as a full-time student, and obtain a baccalaureate or higher degree prior to age 31 (age waiver possible for qualified students). Meet medical and physical fitness standards. Be a U.S. citizen. Successfully complete the Leadership Development and Assessment Course. Be recommended by the Professor of Military Science. Service Obligation. There is no military service obligation for basic course students, unless on scholarship. Advanced course and scholarship (contracted) students incur an obligation to serve in the active Army, Army Reserve or National Guard. Military Science Minor Foundational Courses: In order to enroll in courses leading to the Military Science minor, students should complete MILS 1010, MILS 1020, MILS 2010, MILS 2020 and MILS 2400. The department may award experiential credit for these courses for: prior military service, Advanced Individual Training (AIT), Leader's Training Course (LTC) or Accelerated Cadet Commissioning Training (ACCT). Grade Requirements: Obtain a grade of "C" or better in all courses used toward the minor, and a cumulative GPA of 2.5 for Military Science courses.

Engaged learning fosters intellectual and personal growth, critical thinking, problem solving, civic engagement, and professional and career development opportunities. Students engage with faculty members in small groups or one-on-one, for an intellectually challenging experience that is enhanced by professional and real world application of knowledge. The Office of Undergraduate Research, the Center for Community Engaged Learning, and Honors Program continue to facilitate the engaged learning of WSU students by collaborating with disciplines across colleges. These programs offer engaged learning opportunities in undergraduate research, community engaged learning, and classes that provide a stimulating, creative and supportive learning environment. Interdisciplinary programs provide students the opportunity to expand their learning across different subject areas, and contribute to a well-rounded educational experience.

These projects are designed and implemented by students with the support and guidance of WSU faculty. Undergraduate research, and scholarly and creative activities must include: inquiry, study or investigation of a question or problem; methodology, including safety and ethical practices, appropriate to the discipline; relevant, meaningful, and engaging intellectual or creative contribution and/or application to the discipline which is of high-quality and which results in a tangible product (abstract, paper, performance, object) which can be shared or disseminated; and on-going supervision and mentoring by individuals with appropriate expertise. Undergraduate research has long been an important part of the college experience at Weber State University. The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) supports students by offering grants for research and travel for dissemination of results. In addition, OUR publishes Ergo, WSU's undergraduate research journal, and sponsors an undergraduate research symposium each spring semester. Center for Community Engaged Learning Interim Director: Mike Moon (801) 626-7737 Office Manager: Carla Jones Location: Center for Community Engaged Learning, Shepherd Union, Suite 327 Internet Address: weber.edu/CCEL The Center for Community Engaged Learning at Weber State University facilitates both curricular and cocurricular community engaged learning experiences. Courses designated as Community Engaged Learning (CEL) are designed to provide students learning opportunities through real life experiences and application of knowledge in the community. These courses provide a structured approach to learning and teaching that connects meaningful community experience with intellectual development, personal growth, and active citizenship. Community engaged learning enriches coursework by encouraging students to apply the knowledge and analytic tools gained in the classroom to the pressing issues affecting local communities. Community engagement describes the collaboration between Weber State University and our larger communities (local, regional/state, national, global) for the mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and resources in a context of partnership and reciprocity (Carnegie Foundation). Community engaged learning therefore is defined as an activity that involves a collaborative, reciprocal relationship with the community that prepares our students, faculty, staff and alumni to be engaged citizens, strengthen democratic values and civic responsibility by addressing community issues. Community engaged learning can be facilitated through: service, democratic engagement and community research. Service experiences often involve working directly with community residents to meet an immediate need. Examples of service include, but are not limited to: volunteering to serve meals at a homeless shelter, using academic knowledge to develop an electronic food-monitoring database for a food pantry, serving as a mentor or 1476 tutor in a local school or youth development program, cleaning up the banks of the Ogden River, or coaching a city youth sport. Democratic engagement experiences often involve raising awareness about issues of public concern and working more systematically through both political and non-political processes to create change. Examples of democratic engagement include, but are not limited to: attending organized discussions about pollution; community organizing; writing a letter to an elected official; engaging others in the process of deliberative democracy; or producing information about community issues. Community research experiences often involve gathering information with and for community organizations to solve a pressing community problem or create change. Examples of community research include, but are not limited to: community needs assessment survey; water quality or scientific assessment; or program evaluation for non-profit organizations. Regardless of the type of community engaged learning experience, students are expected to acquire four community engaged learning outcomes through their experiences: civic knowledge, civic skills, civic values, and civic action. Community engaged learning outcomes, definitions, and measurement rubrics can be found at www.weber.edu/CCEL. Courses Community engaged learning is not specific to any one discipline; in fact, CEL courses exist in many disciplines across campus. For example, an Athletic Training class incorporates a service component wherein students are utilizing their knowledge and skills gleaned from class to serve patrons at a local free medical clinic. Community Engaged Learning courses are designated with a CEL prefix and are listed in the course schedule published online each semester. Additionally, a full list of CEL designated courses can be found on the Center for Community Engaged Learning website at weber.edu/CCEL.

It is the mission of the Department to prepare these students to function effectively in mainstream academic classes where English is the language of instruction. In doing so, we also seek to familiarize students with American culture and the academic atmosphere of studying in an American university. The program consists of seven levels of instruction (Novice Low through Advanced Plus), two levels per semester. Each level (with the exception of Advanced Plus) is 7 weeks in length. Advanced Plus is 15 weeks in length. Courses are competency based. Students must pass a proficiency final exam and receive a grade of C+ (77%) or better in order to progress to the next level. Total Credit Hours per Level Levels 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Credits 9 9 9 9 9 9 6 1481 The program curriculum includes courses that utilize an integrated skills, content-based approach. The goal of the department is to prepare non-native English speaking students to read, write and communicate effectively in mainstream academic courses. Novice Low/Mid through Intermediate Low (Levels 1-3) are non-credit and do not count toward graduation. Courses in Intermediate Mid (Level 4) through Advanced Plus (Level 7) earn credit which can be applied to fulfill the foreign language requirement for a Bachelor of Arts degree and Associate of Arts degree or applied as elective credit toward the Bachelor of Science and Associate of Science degrees. This may be done by passing the LEAP Special Examination or by completing LEAP 2510 and LEAP 2520 with a grade of C+ or better. Students who pass the LEAP Special Examination or who complete LEAP 2510 and LEAP 2520 with a grade of C+ or better will be able to receive 16 hours of credit for ESL 2310, ESL 2410, ESL 2420, ESL 2430, and ESL 2441 for a nominal fee. (Inquire in the LEAP Office EH 207.) CR/NC Sections CR/NC sections of each course are available. CR/NC sections do not factor into a student's GPA. Students participate in the same classes with the same teachers and are held to the same proficiency standards as graded courses. Contact the LEAP office for more information. International Students International students who meet the University's TOEFL or IELTS minimum requirements for placement in academic courses are cleared to register for ENGL 1010.

Environmental Studies Minor Program (see Geography) Ethnic Studies Emphasis (BIS) Coordinator: Dr. Hal Elliott Location: Social Science Building, Room 316 Telephone: 801-626-6945 The Ethnic Studies Emphasis at WSU examines the construction and context of ethnicity in the United States with a primary focus on Americans of African, Asian, Latino, and Native American descent. Other ethnic foci may be developed by the student to meet his or her particular interests. As an element of American identity that cuts across disciplinary categories, ethnicity requires a mode of study that draws on the humanities, the social sciences, and other related fields. Ethnicity also must be addressed historically and comparatively, paying attention to the five centuries of North American minority experience and the perspectives of other New World societies and cultures. Above all, the program seeks to convey knowledge and understanding of ethnicity in the United States and to help students learn about the opportunities and responsibilities they have as citizens in an increasingly multicultural nation. Grade Requirements: A grade of "C-" or better is required for all courses in Ethnic Studies. Credit Hour Requirements: A minimum of 18 credit hours.
