A Multidisciplinary Studies Major with a concentration in Classics or Classical Civilization is available. Interested students should contact the director of Classical Studies.

The Classical Studies minor is an interdisciplinary program in the Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences. The minimum requirement is 24 s.h., which includes required courses in history and either Latin or Greek. The program, with electives in art, classical studies, English, foreign languages, history, philosophy and religious studies, is designed to encourage students to study all aspects of the ancient civilizations of Greece and Rome. A maximum of 6 s.h. from each of the following may count toward the classical studies minor: courses used to satisfy the general education requirements; LATN or GRK courses used to satisfy the foreign language requirement for the BA degree; directed readings in LATN or GRK; and study abroad programs approved by the director. Additional courses beyond those listed may be approved by the director if they significantly advance the student's understanding of classics. No semester hours counted toward the student's major may count toward the classical studies minor. In many cases, prerequisites for courses listed below will be waived by the constituent departments.

* Students who have satisfied core requirements with courses whose semester hours cannot be counted toward the minor (e.g., by applying LATN or GRK 1003, 1004 toward the foreign language requirement) may replace those hours with any listed course(s) to equal 24 s.h.

Multidisciplinary Studies is a university-wide program administered by the Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences. The goals of the program are to foster multidisciplinary study among various schools and departments, enable motivated students to pursue degrees in specialized or new fields, and encourage undergraduates to pursue research interests while working closely with faculty. Honors are awarded to students who earn a 3.5 GPA in approved major courses. There are two Multidisciplinary Studies options.

The 'Individual Concentration' is designed for the student (1) who has clear interests and objectives that overlap schools, departments, degrees, or concentrations; (2) whose interests and objectives cannot reasonably be met through existing majors, minors, and electives; and (3) whose program is not fashioned in order to bypass a requirement of an existing program. A course of study is developed by the student in consultation with faculty in the appropriate disciplines and the director of Multidisciplinary Studies. A formal proposal, including the list of faculty who will supervise the student, is submitted to the Multidisciplinary Studies Committee. To begin the process, interested students should contact the director of Multidisciplinary Studies for procedures and guidelines. The major must be approved early enough in oneÕs academic career in order to have time to adhere to program guidelines. To declare a major, students must have completed 30 s.h. with a minimum cumulative 2.0 GPA and the studentÕs proposal must be approved by the Multidisciplinary Studies Committee. Program requirements include MULT 3500 and 4999; students may not be enrolled in these courses without admission to the program. The nature of this program requires that the student be highly motivated and disciplined and that faculty advising the student be closely involved in the process from the proposal preparation stage through the completion of the program. The program is not a general studies degree and program guidelines prohibit approval into the program of students who have not developed a coherent and academically respectable course of study that meets program guidelines.

The 'Structured Concentrations' are approved by the Multidisciplinary Studies Committee and are provided in areas where there has been clear evidence of significant student demand. For 'Structured Concentrations,' students take a prearranged curriculum that is approved by a recognized academic committee with oversight in that disciplinary area. Requirements include the completion of interdisciplinary courses, comparable to MULT 3500 and 4999, which address interdisciplinary methods and topics.

Minimum degree requirement is 120 s.h. of credit as follows:

MULT 3500. Research in Multidisciplinary Studies (3) (WI) (P: Admission to MULT; consent of program director) or comparable structured concentration course.

MULT 4999. Seminar in Multidisciplinary Studies (3) (WI) (P: MULT 3500; consent of program director) or comparable structured concentration course.

A minimum of 24 s.h. in the major.

Minimum degree requirement is 120 s.h. of credit as follows:

MULT 3500. Research in Multidisciplinary Studies (3) (WI) (P: Admission to MULT; consent of program director)

MULT 4999. Seminar in Multidisciplinary Studies (3) (WI) (P: MULT 3500; consent of program director)

A minimum of 36 s.h. of approved courses in the major

MULT Courses:

3500. Research in Multidisciplinary Studies (3) (WI) P: Admission to MULT; consent of program director; First of two course sequence. Independent thesis research / creative project. Supervised by a faculty mentor.

4999. Seminar in Multidisciplinary Studies (3) (WI) P: MULT 3500; consent of program director; Seniors from all disciplines complete, present, and discuss their theses/creative projects with fellow students, faculty mentors, and program directors.

The multidisciplinary minor, designed for students who have interests not met by existing minors, requires 24 s.h. credit, 9 s.h. of which must be above 2999. The theme-focused minor should normally comprise courses from three to five disciplines and should not reproduce existing disciplinary or other multidisciplinary minors. Courses should exclude the student's major. A declared major who is interested in the multidisciplinary minor and who has completed a minimum of 30 s.h. should discuss with his or her adviser the theme around which the minor will be developed and submit a written plan to the faculty member assigned by the student's major department to oversee the multidisciplinary minor and to that department's chair. Criteria for the plan include thematic unity and coherence and clarity of educational objectives. The plan must be approved before the student has completed 80 s.h. and before submission of the senior summary, to which a copy of the approved plan will be attached. The student will complete the course of study under the supervision of his or her advisor.
