C OLLEGE OF A RTS AND S CIENCES basis for responsible action. Complementing this goal, Arts and Sciences strives to foster civility in social relations – a civility that grows out of respect for the worth of all individuals. CORE CURRICULUM The College of Arts and Sciences seeks to prepare students to grow intellectually and carry out fully their responsibility to those around them, whether in their families or in their public and professional lives. The Core Curriculum provides a well-rounded educational experience for all Lawrence Tech students. Students encounter the greatest literary and philosophical works that humankind has produced and discuss them with professors in small classes. They explore the sciences in a hands-on laboratory environment, and gain a solid foundation in mathematics. Composition and communications courses develop a high level of accomplishment in speaking and writing. DEGREE PROGRAMS The College provides degree programs in business management, chemistry, environmental chemistry, chemical technology, computer science, the humanities and social sciences, mathematics, radio and television broadcasting, physics, psychology, and technical and professional communication. Pre-medical and pre-dental programs are arranged through the Department of Natural Sciences and pre-law through the Department of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Communication. University Studies provides special classes and services for students not yet ready to enter specific majors. In addition, the departments offer minors and dual majors (see descriptions included in individual program curriculum guides). The departments continually develop courses and programs in response to social, economic, and technological changes. With a strong undergraduate education, Arts and Sciences graduates can prepare for immediate entry to professional life and for graduate or professional school. COMPUTER SCIENCE The Bachelor of Science in computer science seeks to prepare students to enter a rapidly changing industry with unlimited potential for wellprepared graduates. In consultation with a faculty advisor, students can choose the mix of mathematics and computer science that best fits their backgrounds and objectives. The degree may be earned through one of three options: Option 1, with the most mathematics and science content, is excellent preparation for graduate school and for careers including scientific or engineering application development. Option 2 (business application), with less mathematics and science, provides excellent preparation for careers in business application development. Option 3 (network), with a focus on systems, is excellent preparation for a career in information systems design and implementation. Students can: • create a program geared to their computer science interests; • work with an outstanding faculty dedicated to student success, who will give one-on-one advising to help students reach their individual goals; • participate in small classes that enhance interaction with teachers; • learn in specialty labs in multimedia, computer graphics, distributed computing, and robotics; • take part in cooperative projects and in classroom, state, and national competitions that promote interaction with fellow students; • create links to employers through paid internships and projects while still in school. The computer science program prepares graduates for exciting careers in application programming, distributed computing, data mining, game development, computer graphics, networking, Web applications, robotics, and intelligent systems, among others. MATHEMATICS The Bachelor of Science in mathematics degree is designed for careers in the scientific and business community where the application of mathematical analysis leads to scientific or financial solutions. In this rapidly evolving world where job descriptions change, new technologies are introduced, and entire industries are transformed overnight, the analytical skills and the mathematical principles on which technology and decision making are based remain constant. Mastering mathematical theories and their practical applications provides graduates with a competitive edge in any career. Students can: • work with an outstanding faculty dedicated to student success, who will give one-on-one advising to help students reach their individual goals; • participate in small classes that enhance interaction with teachers; • prepare for graduate work in mathematics; • participate in undergraduate research; • engage in team-oriented experiences, including state and national competitions, designed to help students take part in, and lead, project teams on the job. MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE The Bachelor of Science in mathematics and computer Science degree offers the widest variety of career paths after graduation. It also provides the most rigorous preparation for higher-level problem solving and for graduate school. In addition to the advantages listed above for computer science, students can: • gain experience in using advanced mathematical and computing tools to solve real-world problems; • prepare for graduate work in either computer science or applied mathematics. 84 U N D E R G R A D U A T E C A T A L O G 2 0 0 5 - 2 0 0 7
C OLLEGE OF A RTS AND S CIENCES BUSINESS MANAGEMENT The Bachelor of Science in business management provides a strong foundation in business studies combined with a specialization of the student’s choice and a broad liberal arts education. It is an excellent choice for transfer students who wish to gain maximum credit for courses already completed. Students can: • learn from an outstanding faculty with extensive industry and academic experience; • participate in small classes that encourage team building and personal interaction with their instructors and peers; • gain expert advising from a faculty member in their program, maximizing opportunities at Lawrence Tech and creating a path for success after graduation; • earn a bachelor’s degree in 60 hours if they already have an associate’s degree; • take advantage of paid internships; • participate in a network of links to professional organizations and industrial partners. HUMANITIES The humanities curriculum allows students to organize their education to achieve a specific professional goal while receiving a solid liberal arts education that deepens intellectual development. The program can prepare students for varied careers, including law, business, and public service. Students can: • learn in classes taught only by qualified, experienced faculty who are experts in their fields; • learn in small classes that encourage interaction with teachers and fellow students; • receive careful mentoring; • engage in discussion with students and faculty on a wide range of topics, including literature, art, music, philosophy, history, economics, film, and drama; • gain a clear understanding of the power of humanistic learning in a society influenced by science and technology. TECHNICAL AND PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION The Bachelor of Science in technical and professional communication seeks to prepare students for professional careers in written, oral, and computer-based communication. Graduates are prepared in the processes of communication and in an individually selected area of business or technology. Students: • learn from outstanding faculty, experts and practitioners in their field; • participate in small classes that enhance team-building and problem-solving skills; • develop projects using stateof-the-art technology; • gain experience as interns in business and industry; and • network with communication professionals and corporate leaders. A Certificate in Technical and Professional Communication, consisting of 15 semester hours of study, is available to Lawrence Tech degree candidates or to students enrolling specifically for the Certificate. Students interested in proceeding beyond the Certificate level can complete additional coursework to earn a minor in technical and professional communication. Requirements for the minor include the courses required for the Certificate, plus three additional COM courses at the 3000 level or higher. ASSOCIATE OF ARTS IN RADIO AND TELEVISION BROADCASTING A partnership between Lawrence Tech and Specs Howard School of Broadcast Arts makes it possible for students to earn their associate degree by combining the extensive practical knowledge gained at Specs Howard with courses from Lawrence Tech’s core liberal arts curriculum and the University’s Technical and Professional Communications program. The goal of the AARTB program is to provide the capabilities needed for a successful career, including: • Highly developed written and oral communication skills • Advanced knowledge of collaborative and organizational communication practices used in team supervision and motivation • A thorough understanding of rhetorical and ethical considerations that play a key role in broadcasting and news presentations • Leadership and project management skills PSYCHOLOGY Lawrence Tech’s Bachelor of Science in psychology can prepare students for immediate entry into a variety of careers based on understanding human motivation and interaction. Psychology is one of the fastest growing professions. Lawrence Tech’s psychology program offers three pathways into this exciting field: Pre-Clinical/General Psychology – In this option, students receive the most broad-based understanding of individual and group psychology. After building a foundation in human development, social psychology, and abnormal psychology, they move to more specialized courses. Students can explore, for example, how people function in organizations, the apparently unconscious sources of animal behavior, and the causes of mental disability. Students study the old masters such as Freud and Jung as well as the most recent breakthroughs in neuropsychology, the matching of brain states with behavior. Psychology majors with bachelor’s degrees are able to enter directly such fields as: advertising, law enforcement, marketing, sales, business administration, journalism, and public relations. Psychology graduates most often work in health-related fields and fre- U N D E R G R A D U A T E C A T A L O G 2 0 0 5 - 2 0 0 7 85
