PHILOSOPHY 4 195 Option 2 At least 8 credit hours of MATH-M or MATH-T mathematics courses at or above the 300-level MASTER OF SCIENCE IN APPLIED MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE The Master of Science degree program is offered jointly with the Department of Computer and Information Sciences. Students in the program take advanced courses in both applied mathematics and computer science, with emphasis on real-world problems and applications. A complete description of this program begins on page 259 in this publication. PHILOSOPHY Wiekamp Hall 3248 (574) 520-4491 www.iusb.edu/~sbphil Associate Professors: L. Collins, L. Zynda (Chairperson) Assistant Professors: Ananth, Shockey, Shrader Faculty Emeriti: Naylor, Robbins, Washburn Philosophy emphasizes clear, critical, and logical thinking about philosophical problems by locating these problems in everyday experience and in the writings of the great philosophers. Philosophy also stresses reflection on established beliefs and values so that we can achieve a better understanding of ourselves and the world in which we live. The curriculum in philosophy is designed to contribute to the intellectual training of all undergraduates and to acquaint students with some of the most important developments in intellectual history. The curriculum is structured to meet the needs not only of those who want to become professional philosophers, but also of those who want to pursue philosophy as a personal interest or as a concentration area to complement study in another field. The department offers courses both in philosophy and in the history and philosophy of science. It is one of several IU South Bend departments that offers courses in religious studies and in cognitive science. Students who wish to focus their study on philosophy and a related area (e.g., art, religion, women’s studies, a social or behavioral science, mathematics, a physical or biological science, or law) are invited to talk with any member of the department about the possible benefits of such options as a double major or a minor in philosophy, religious studies, cognitive science, or women’s studies. BACHELOR OF ARTS IN PHILOSOPHY (All courses are 3 credit hours, unless otherwise designated.) The Bachelor of Arts in philosophy requires at least 27 credit hours in courses offered by the department. One of these courses may be a 100-level course. All others must be at the 200-level or above. Students are required to select courses at the 200-level or above to satisfy the following distribution requirements: History of Philosophy (6 cr.)

PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY Northside Hall 341 (574) 520-4278 www.iusb.edu/~iusbphys Professors: J. Hinnefeld (Chairperson), Lynker Associate Professors: Levine, Schimmrigk, Scott Senior Lecturer: Borntrager Faculty Emeritus: Zimmerman Chief Technician: Nate The department offers courses in physics, astronomy, and geology; serving three broad groups of students: those majoring in physics with plans either to enter graduate school in physics, astronomy, or a related field, or to make a career in industry; those majoring in other natural sciences, science education, or engineering technology; and those majoring in nontechnical disciplines who wish to learn some physical science. Students interested in pursuing an engineering degree can begin their studies at IU South Bend in this department. A dual-degree program, under which a student can earn both a Bachelor of Science in Physics from IU South Bend and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from a cooperating institution in at least three years of study at IU South Bend and at least two years of study at the cooperating institution, is described below. BACHELOR OF ARTS IN PHYSICS General-education requirements for Bachelor of Arts degrees in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences are described on page 158.
