Cannon, Department of Biology, 312 Eberhart Building Coordinator: Reta Beck, Department of Biology, 322 Eberhart Building UNCG students interested in medical technology have two programs of study from which to choose: 1. A program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology (BSMT). 2. A program which includes receipt of a BA or BS with a major in either Biology or Chemistry and the completion of an additional 12 months of study in a School of Medical Technology which has been approved by the National Accrediting Agency for the Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS). Because the recommended courses of study for both programs are essentially the same during the first year, students do not have to make a choice of programs until the end of the freshman year. Students in either program should complete the following courses during their freshman year or during the subsequent summer session: BIO 111, 112 and CHE 111, 112, 114, 115.   Medical Technology Major (Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology) Students pursuing this degree program complete a minimum of 94 semester hours at UNCG and then complete 12 months of study at one of the affiliated Schools of Medical Technology. The BSMT is awarded only after successful completion of the final year of study at one of the three affiliated clinical schools listed below. Students earning the degree are eligible for state and/or national certification, registration, and/or licensure. Participation in and completion of the 94 semester hours at UNCG does not guarantee acceptance into the 12-month Medical Technology program at one of the affiliated hospitals. Students should apply for admission to an affiliated hospital school early in their junior year at UNCG. A student must have attained a GPA of at least 2.5 to be considered for admission by the hospital programs. Required: 124 semester hours, including 94 semester hours at UNCG 30 semester hours at the School of Medical Technology at one of the following: Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital, Greensboro, NC Baptist Hospital - Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, NC Carolinas Medical Center, Charlotte, NC   College of Arts and Sciences Liberal Education Requirements (CLER) (48-49 hours) All students must meet the All-University Liberal Education Requirements (AULER). The College of Arts and Sciences, however, has established liberal education requirements for its programs which, while including those of AULER, contain additional requirements in several categories. Therefore, students following this program should adhere to the College requirements. Please note that students who satisfy the College Liberal Education Requirements (CLER) will also satisfy the All-University Liberal Education Requirements (AULER).

Both BIO 355 and 392 are taught in the Fall semester; BIO 355 is also taught in the Spring semester.   Suggested electives BIO 472 (Functional Microscopic Anatomy) BIO 535 (Biochemistry) BIO 583 (Virology) or 584 (Immunology) alternate years BIO 594 (Biotechnology) A statistics course, a management course, a computer course Students must take four Writing Intensive courses, including one at the lower level, one at the upper level, and one in the major (BIO 111 and 112 labs and BIO 481 are Writing Intensive).   Clinical Year During the 12 months in a clinical program at an affiliated hospital, students in the BSMT program earn 30 semester hour of credit from among the following course areas: Microbiology (Bacteriology, Parasitology, Virology, Serology, Mycology); Biochemistry and Isotopes; Clinical Microscopy; Hematology and Immunology; Blood Bank; Cytology and Cytogenetics; Basic Electronics, Instrumentation, and Computer Technology; Ethics and Laboratory Management; and Laboratory Seminars, Medical Mortality Conferences, and Abnormal Laboratory Rounds. Because the course requirements for the BSMT are so complex, students in the program must confer with their assigned faculty advisor at least once each semester. Students in the program should schedule an appointment with their faculty advisor in the Spring Semester of their Sophomore year to review their transcript and GPA; at that time, the advisor will offer an assessment of the student's progress and competitive position for admission to a hospital program for the clinical year. Any student who is undecided about which program to pursue (BSMT or BA/BS in Biology/Chemistry plus a year of clinical study) should consult an advisor who can recommend courses within the curriculum that would minimize the time needed to switch from the BSMT to the BA or BS in Biology or Chemistry. Biology or Chemistry Major Plus A Year of Clinical Study Students electing this program earn a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science with a major in either Biology or Chemistryfrom UNCG. During their final year at UNCG they apply for admission to a School of Medical Technology approved by the National Accrediting Agency for the Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS) for their final year of study. Students electing this program must take the same subjects listed as major requirements for the BSMT program. They must consult with the head of the department in which they are majoring or their faculty advisor in selecting other courses necessary to fulfill the BA or BS requirements. Eligibility for certification, registration, or licensure does not come until the student completes the final year of clinical training in a NAACLS-approved School of Medical Technology.   Women's Studies Program Coordinating Council Members: Jacquelyn W.

It seeks to establish an intellectual community whose members, both students and faculty, are eager to employ the disciplines of the various liberal arts in ways that will enrich their understanding of themselves and of the world surrounding them. Course work, symposia, and seminars are intended to nurture this intellectual community. The MALS degree, a deliberately unspecialized degree, can serve to enhance career opportunities as well as provide personal enrichment. Liberal Studies Major Master of Arts in Liberal Studies, MLS Required: 33 semester hours of graduate credit More information is available in the Graduate School Office or the Division of Continual Learning. Please refer to the The Graduate School Bulletin for a complete description of MLS courses. Preprofessional Programs   Dentistry, Medicine, and Veterinary Medicine Advisory Committee Robert E. Cannon, Chair of Advisory Committee and Associate Professor, Department of Biology Cindy Fuller, Assistant Professor, Department of Food, Nutrition, and Food Service Management Eric Johnston, Assistant Professor, Department of Chemistry Frank McCormack, Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy Walter L. Salinger, Professor, Department of Psychology Sheila Schurer, Assistant to the Dean, College of Arts and Sciences   Students should contact a member of this committee for assistance in planning their program of study. The admission requirements vary slightly among the various schools and programs. For specific information students should write directly to the individual schools for catalogs or consult the library. Other sources of information are current volumes of Medical School Admission Requirements and Admission Requirements of American Dental Schools. The preprofessional programs constitute a core of courses which must be completed before admission to the professional schools. They can be successfully incorporated into almost any major. It has been shown in the case of medical schools that the choice of major does not significantly affect the student's probability of admission. Students should give consideration to any major which they find interesting and in which they feel they can do well. Nearly all students accepted to medical, dental, and veterinary schools have completed a bachelor's degree. Medical schools generally require 2 semesters of English; 2 semesters of general biology (BIO 111, 112); 2 semesters of general chemistry with laboratory (CHE 111, 112, 114, 115); 2 semesters of organic chemistry with laboratory (CHE 351, 352, 354); 2 semesters of physics (PHY 211, 212 and 251, 252 labs or 291, 292 and 251, 252 labs). A few schools (e.g., Duke) also require mathematics through Calculus (MAT 191, 292). Other courses which are often recommended include Mammalian Physiology (BIO 277), Biochemistry (BIO 535 or CHE 556), Genetics (BIO 392). Dental school preparatory course requirements are usually very much like those for medical school. Many schools do, however, require Anatomy (BIO 271). The list of required courses for veterinary schools is considerably more extensive than that for medical or dental schools. In addition to specifying more courses in mathematics, chemistry, and biology, these programs typically require or recommend more courses in animal science, general microbiology (BIO 481), biochemistry (BIO 535 or CHE 556) and nutrition (NFS 213). Significant work experience with animals or in a veterinarian's practice is required. Students interested in veterinary school should make contact with the school and with the advisory committee at an early stage of their undergraduate careers. The achievement of outstanding academic credentials should not be accomplished at the cost of totally sacrificing extracurricular activities. Most professional programs prefer students who have participated in nonacademic activities and actively pursued a range of interests. In addition to the core of preparatory courses, virtually all professional schools require some form of standardized test prior to consideration of a student's admission application. These tests are usually taken in the spring before application is made. Medical schools require the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), dental schools the Dental Admission Test (DAT), and veterinary schools the Veterinary College Admission Test (VCAT) or Graduate Record Examination (GRE) Aptitude Test. Applications to professional schools are made a year before expected enrollment, usually between June 15 and November 15. Early application is strongly recommended. The American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) is the agent for most medical schools, and the American Association of Dental Schools Application Service (AADSAS) is the agent for many dental schools. The Veterinary Medical College Application Service (VMCAS) is the agent for most veterinary medical schools. Application materials are available from the committee. Veterinary, medical, and dental schools not subscribing to one of the application services must be contacted individually. Engineering Advisors Paul F. Duvall, Professor, Department of Mathematical Sciences Robert B. Muir, Associate Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy   The following two-year pre-engineering curriculum offers preparation for students who plan to transfer to engineering programs in other institutions. This program has been approved by the Subcommittee on Engineering Transfer for transfer to the engineering programs at North Carolina A & T State University, North Carolina State University, and The University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Students interested in engineering should contact one of the advisors above as soon as possible. See also AULER categories and approved courses. Recommended are a beginning course in literature, history (200 level), history or philosophy of science, and communications (CST 105). Some engineering programs require proficiency in a foreign language through the level of the first year (101-102). Students should make appropriate selections after consultation with an advisor.

Like most universities, UNCG does not have a pre-law major. Students who plan to attend law school may select their major from any academically rigorous field. However, since law schools seek to admit only students who can think, speak, and write at the highest levels of competency, students (regardless of major) should take courses that develop skills in critical, creative, and reflective thinking as well as clear and cogent writing and speaking. To obtain these skills, it is especially useful to take courses in the areas of Analytic and Evaluative Studies (AE) and Reasoning and Discourse (RD). Courses in these areas are offered by many departments, including Anthropology, communication Studies, English, History, Philosophy (which offers a prelaw concentration for majors), Political Science, Religious Studies, and Sociology. In addition, Freshman Seminar, Honors, Residential college, and Women's Studies courses are helpful. Students should also be sure to develop computer skills. Students interested in prelaw should consult a prelaw advisor in addition to their major advisors. Pharmacy Students seeking a professional degree in pharmacy may follow a prepharmacy curriculum at UNCG for two years before transferring to a school of pharmacy. An additional three to four years will then be required to complete the Doctor of Pharmacy degree. There are 73 accredited schools of pharmacy in the United States. The two in North Carolina are located at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and at Campbell University. Prepharmacy requirements generally include the following: BIO 111, 271, 271L, 280 CHE 111, 112, 114, 115, 351, 352, 354 ENG 101, 102 MAT 191 PHY 211, 212 (or PHY 291, 292) and 251, 252 labs STA 108 Other specified courses to include foreign language or other approved liberal arts courses and physical education courses for a total of 64 semester hours of prepharmacy work. Students will also be required to take the Pharmacy College Admission Test in the second year. Completion of the prepharmacy work at UNCG does not guarantee admission to pharmacy school. Students should consult a prepharmacy advisor before registering for courses. Those planning to apply to out-of-state pharmacy schools should bring along information from those schools. Physical Therapy Advisors Department of Biology: Cannon, Katula, Leise, Lepri, Henrich, Hens, Redman Department of Exercise and Sport Science: Karper and Robinson   There are currently six physical therapy programs in North Carolina. The programs at UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke University, East Carolina University, Elon College, and Western Carolina University offer entry-level Masters degrees. Winston-Salem State University offers a BS in Physical Therapy. Students seeking a masters degree in physical therapy may major in any academic area but will be expected to complete a core of science courses. The minimum grade point average for admission is 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. Volunteer experience in physical therapy is required for admission. Requirements for the MPT generally include the following courses. Statistics 108 Introductory Biology (BIO 111, 112) Anatomy (BIO 271) Physiology (BIO 277) Physics 211, 212 and 251, 252 labs, or 291, 292 and 251, 252 labs General Chemistry (CHE 111, 112 and 114, 115) General Psychology (PSY 121) Human Growth and Development (HDF 211 or PSY 250) CPR Certification Additional recommendations include computer literacy and course work in biomechanics, and genetics. Students should contact the programs directly to ensure that they meet current requirements for each school. A complete listing of accredited physical therapy programs is available from the American Physical Therapy Association, 1111 North Fairfax Street, Alexandria, VA 22314, 703/684-APTA. Students should contact an advisor for assistance in planning their program of study.   Freshman Seminars Program Freshman Seminars are small discussion classes that introduce students to various areas of study in the All-University Liberal Education Requirements (AULER). Each seminar focuses on a topic, issue, or problem selected by the instructor; seminar topics change from one semester to the next and are described in a booklet that is distributed to advisors at the beginning of each semester. Additional information on Freshman Seminars may be obtained from the College of Arts and Sciences, 105 Foust Building (336/334-5241).   Freshman Seminar Courses (FMS) Freshman Seminars are open ONLY to freshmen. Except for FMS 103 (which is equivalent to ENG 101/RCO 101, English Composition I) and FMS 111 (which is equivalent to ENG 102/RCO102, English Composition II), all seminars are offered as writing-intensive courses (see p. 47). Students may not receive credit for more than one seminar under the same course number, even if the contents of the seminars are different. 101 Freshman Seminar in Historical Perspectives on Western Culture - I (3:3).

Honors Program The Honors Program offers highly qualified students a blend of specially created Honors seminars and designated Honors sections in various fields of study. The Program is not designed to be a major. Students in the Honors Program also complete the requirements for one of the academic or professional majors offered in the University. Enrolling in the Honors Program is, however, compatible with all major and professional programs and rarely requires additional hours to graduate in four years. The Honors Program provides a strong base in the liberal arts leading to more specialized and independent work as students progress toward the bachelor's degree. It consists of three parts. 1. In their first two years students take Honors Core Seminars, courses specially designed for the Program that explore fundamental areas of study in natural sciences, social sciences, art and literature, and analytical and evaluative studies. 2. Students must enroll in at least nine additional hours of designated Honors courses. These may consist of honors sections of regularly-scheduled courses meeting College and University general education requirements (e.g. Introduction to Sociology, Mythology, etc.), Honors electives, disciplinary work offered through departments and schools, or independent studies conducted under the direction of a faculty member. This component of the Program is designed to provide students with flexibility in coordinating Honors with the requirements of their major programs. 3. In the senior year those who wish to complete the Program must undertake some sort of Senior Project. These range from writing an original essay or scientific report, to completing an annotated creative performance, to undertaking a special practicum or project. The intent is to allow the student to have a capstone experience within his or her chosen field of study. Certain departments specify how their students are to meet the requirements indicated in 2 and 3 above. Some units permit students to pursue Honors work within their discipline without requiring participation in the University Honors Program. Students should check with the Honors Liaison faculty member in their department or with the Honors Program Director to see how the requirements in their discipline are to be met. Association with faculty and other Honors students in the Program is close, a welcome contrast to large impersonal lecture classes. Every aspect of the program provides special opportunities for exceptionally qualified students to grow intellectually through contact with a community of Honors students and faculty. Honors Council The program is under the general supervision of an Honors Council composed of faculty and students from the various schools of the University, as well as from the College of Arts and Sciences. Bruce Caldwell, Director of Honors Program, Department of Economics Laurie White, Assistant Director of Honors Program Pam Bulgin, Assistant Director of Honors Program Ken Caneva, Department of History Nancy Cassill, Department of Textile Products Design and Marketing Keith Howell, Department of Public Health Education Virginia Karb, School of Nursing Bruce Landman, Department of Mathematical Sciences Eleanor McCrickard, School of Music Russ McDonald, Department of English Jody Natalle, Department of Communication Ben Ramsey, Department of Religious Studies Mark Smith-Soto, Department of Romance Languages Adam Cox, Student Member Program Requirements Students who wish to finish the Program are required to complete 18 hours of courses, distributed as follows. Six credit hours must be obtained in Honors Core Seminars. Three credit hours must be used to satisfy the Senior Project requirement. The remaining nine hours may include any other combination of Honors courses, including Core Seminars, Honors sections of Freshman Seminars, Honors sections of regularly scheduled courses, Honors electives, or Honors independent studies. Three of these nine hours are automatically waived for students who spend at least one semester abroad. The six hours of Core Seminars requirement is waived for Junior Transfers, who must take a total of twelve hours of Honors courses (among them the Senior Project) to complete the Program. There is no maximum number of courses in which a student may enroll. To remain in the program, students must maintain a cumulative UNCG grade point average of 3.3 or above. A student whose GPA falls below the minimum required may, at the discretion of the Director, continue in the program for a probationary period of one semester. Students who take the minimum required curriculum will have completed the Honors Program and will have this accomplishment so recorded on their transcript. Not all students who enroll in the Honors Program complete it. By enrolling in the Program, however, one is demonstrating one's intent to make progress towards finishing it. To stay on track, freshmen and sophomores should take one Honors seminar or section per semester, and juniors and seniors should take one per year. Any student who has a 3.3 or better GPA may sign up for any Honors courses that are open, even if they are not formally enrolled in the Program. The Program welcomes and encourages such students to sign up for Honors offerings. Students who do not meet the 3.3 GPA requirement who wish to take an Honors course may be admitted at the discretion of the Director. Such students should make their request to the Director prior to registration.   Honors Program Courses (HSS) Honors Core Seminars (6 hrs required) Honors Core Seminars may be used to meet liberal education requirements in the credit areas indicated below. They, however, cannot substitute for introductory prerequisites in the major. Students completing the Honors Program must take two Honors Core Seminars chosen from the ten categories described below. Specific topics will vary from year to year. The courses may be repeated for credit as topics change. 201 Core Seminar in Historical Perspectives on Western Culture I (3:3). Pr. 3.3 GPA or permission of the Director. May be repeated for credit when topic varies. Historical study of western culture from ancient times to the Reformation.

Academic Year and Semester Abroad Programs UNCG Exchange Programs. Through various exchange agreements, a UNCG student may swap places with a student in another country. Under these arrangements, students study abroad for approximately the cost of being in residence at UNCG. Opportunities for such exchange are currently available in Australia, Costa Rica, Finland, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Poland, and the United Kingdom. International Student Exchange Program. As a member of ISEP (a Washington-based exchange organization), UNCG is able to place students in any one of one hundred cooperating universities in 35 countries overseas. The cost of such study is about the same as being in residence at UNCG. Semester Abroad Programs. On a regular basis the Department of Romance Languages offers semester abroad programs in Spain. UNCG faculty lead these groups and directly award academic credit. Although not student exchange programs, these semester abroad options are nonetheless less costly than study abroad opportunities offered through other colleges' programs. Non-UNCG Programs. A UNCG student may spend a summer, semester, or year abroad under the auspices of a group or institution approved by the UNCG Study Abroad Committee. While generally more costly than ISEP or the UNCG programs, this option may be of interest to students seeking particular experiences not otherwise available. Summer Abroad Programs UNCG professors regularly lead student groups overseas. Over the past few years, groups have gone to such countries as Costa Rica, Greece, Spain and the United Kingdom. These programs generally involve five or six weeks of supervised travel and study, followed by an additional three weeks of independent travel. The UNCG Study Abroad Committee and the Office of International Programs All study abroad activities are carefully supervised by the UNCG Study Abroad Committee, which is comprised of faculty members and administrators with considerable experience in international education. The Committee is constantly working to expand study abroad options for UNCG students, and to make them available at reasonable cost. The Committee may recommend to the student's department that up to 30 semester hours of credit be earned for one year's study overseas. The Office of International Programs, in addition to handling most other administrative matters affecting study abroad, publicizes the various programs and advises prospective participants. Those interested in study abroad are advised as a first step to contact the OIP, 112 Foust Building, 336/334-5404, or visit its Web site at: www.uncg.edu/ipg/. University Studies Office of the Provost University Studies is a one-semester elective course designed to prepare entering freshmen to better meet the many demands and challenges of the university experience.

Beale, Department of English; College of Arts and Sciences Patricia A. Sullivan, Chancellor Cornelia Strong College is one of two residential colleges at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. It is named after Cornelia Strong, professor of mathematics and astronomy in the University from 1905 to 1948. Strong College is open to all students in the University through a competitive admission process, and is particularly suited to those who are seeking a richer and more rewarding academic experience than they might have in a traditional residence hall. Like the University's Residential College in Mary Foust Hall, Strong College offers its members the opportunity to participate in an informal social and academic community within the context of the greater University. Unlike the Residential College, however, Strong College does not have a special curriculumits members take the usual complement of courses throughout the University. Students may reside in Strong College for their full tenure at the University. Modeled on the undergraduate colleges of universities such as Rice, Yale, and Harvard, Strong College is made up of about 260 undergraduate members in residence ("the Junior Common Room") and a group of faculty Fellows and Associates ("the Senior Common Room"), as well as a small number of resident graduate members and non-resident undergraduates. All members of Strong College may participate in a variety of co-curricular activities in the arts and sciences, including a weekly College Tea, informal discussion groups, and social events throughout the year. Both student-sponsored and faculty-sponsored events are encouraged, and Strong College endeavors to provide an environment within which the initiatives of all of its members can bear fruit. The home of Strong College is Moore-Strong Hall, named after Professor Strong and Mary Taylor Moore, Registrar to the University from 1909 to 1948. Built in 1960 and renovated in 1994, Moore-Strong Hall provides several common rooms for College members, as well as a small library. The building as a whole is centrally air conditioned, and has cable television and some connections to the campus computer network.

The Residential College is a two-year program for freshmen and sophomores with a limited number of upperclassperson participants. Members of the program live and have classes in a coeducational residence hall. A Residence Hall Director, who often serves on the faculty, resides in the hall. Other faculty members have offices in the residence hall. Students and faculty serve on governing committees and participate together in special events within the dormitory. Faculty members from many different departments and schools teach in the Residential College. Courses taught meet All-University Liberal Education Requirements and requirements of the College of Arts and Sciences. All students are asked to participate in an interdisciplinary core course focusing on the American experience and to choose another class from a wide range of other academic subjects. These seminars, along with varied types of independent study and community service work, make up six to nine hours of a student's semester course load. The remaining semester hours are taken in the University outside the Residential College. (Residential College students are full members of UNCG and are expected to participate in the life of UNCG.) All students who have been admitted to UNCG automatically qualify for application to Residential College. Anyone who wishes to receive more information about the program is encouraged to write directly to the Residential College.   Residential College Courses (RCO) 101 English Composition I (3:3).
