2009-2010 Undergraduate Bulletin (pdf) - LaGrange College

Students who fail to complete satisfactorily the assessment in the major and
exhaust reassessment opportunities at the departmental level may appeal
the decision of the department as described in the Academic Procedures
and Regulations section.
ADVICE AND COUNSELING IN THE MAJOR
All students are assigned an academic adviser. Prior to the declaration of a
major a student is advised by a member of the faculty in a discipline related
to the student’s area of interest. Subsequent to declaring a major, the
student and the department chair work together in planning a program. The
ultimate responsibility for selecting the proper courses in order to complete
the desired degree is the responsibility of the student.
MINORS
Academic minors may be earned in most departments. A minor must
include at least 12 semester hours, 6 of which must be in 3000-level or
above courses. Some departments do not designate the courses required
for the minor, but the courses selected must be approved by the chair of
that department.
PRE-PROFESSIONAL
PROGRAMS OF STUDY
LaGrange College has a curriculum and environment that is well suited to
preparation for further study in fields such as law and medicine. These
programs include, but are not necessarily limited to, preparation for the
following areas.
PRE-HEALTH PROFESSIONS
For the pre-health professions (Dentistry, Medicine, Pharmacy, Physical
Therapy, Physician Assistance, and Veterinary Medicine), the advising
team is chaired by Dr. Nickie Cauthen and is composed of Dr. Cauthen, Dr.
Sarah Beth Mallory, and Dr. Melinda Pomeroy-Black. Students who plan
to major in biology and are interested in one of these professions should
consult with Dr. Cauthen for assignment to one of the team members.
Students in other majors who are interested in these professions should
consult their primary advisers for access to the advising team.
