SOCIAL SCIENCES 6 MATHEMATICS 6 TOTAL 36 MINOR PROGRAMS In addition to completing requirements for a major, baccalaureate students have the option of completing minor concentration(s) outside the major field. A minor is a focused program of study consisting of 18-22 credits designated by the department(s) offering the program. Course requirements for minors are outlined in the Areas of Instruction section of this catalog. The university is not obligated to provide courses necessary for the completion of minor concentrations. A student desiring to pursue a minor should discuss these plans with the academic advisor and obtain permission of the advisor and of the designated minor advisor in the department of the minor. A student in the College of Undergraduate Studies should declare the intention to minor when declaring the major in the second semester of sophomore year in the Office of the Director of Academic Advisement, or during the junior year. A student in the College of LifeLong Learning declares this intention with the appropriate academic advisor in the College of LifeLong Learning. CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS A student may opt to pursue a certificate program in a specific area. Certificate programs are available in studio art, accounting, computers-in-business, internal auditing, management, foreign languages — French and Spanish, information technology, specific certifications in information technology and Hispanic cross-cultural communication through corporate partnerships, Irish studies, professional communication, John Paul II Studies, Middle Eastern studies, and theology. SECOND MAJOR To qualify for a second major within the same baccalaureate degree, a student must: • fulfill the liberal arts core courses required for the second major • complete at Immaculata University the departmental requirements appropriate for the second major field of concentration. A second major within the same baccalaureate degree is identified on the transcript. SECOND BACCALAUREATE DEGREE To qualify for a second baccalaureate degree, a student must: • fulfill the liberal arts core curriculum requirements for the second baccalaureate degree • complete at Immaculata University the departmental requirements appropriate for the major field of concentration. • maintain a minimum GPA of 2.00 (C) A second baccalaureate major is identified on a student’s transcript. A second diploma is issued only if the actual degree is different (e.g., B.A. vs. B.S.). In order to earn a second baccalaureate degree in the same major (e.g. B.A.and B.S. in Biology), a student must earn 126-128 for the first degree and an additional 32 credits in the major for the second degree. INTERNSHIP/FIELD EXPERIENCE The Internship Program at Immaculata has as its fundamental purpose the integration of learning with life. Students have the opportunity to apply what they have learned, and to explore new places, to experience new people, and to broaden their perspective and personal goals. Through affiliation with an agency or a company, students encounter professional role models and observe the practical aspects of their career interests. Such experiences enable students to make more informed career choices at the completion of their college education. Internships are arranged on an individual basis through the direction of the department chairperson, the faculty coordinator, or the Office of Career Services. Some programs carry academic credit, while others are extracurricular academic experiences. STUDY ABROAD Students may study abroad when such study is particularly suited to their academic goals. Immaculata University co-sponsors study abroad programs at universities in Australia, Austria, England, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Scotland, Spain, and Wales. These sessions have been designed to meet the needs of students who wish to continue the study of a language or culture in another country. Students who achieve satisfactory grades may receive credit for this program. Application for permission should be filed after the completion of 45 credits earned at Immaculata in either the office of the Dean, College of Undergraduate Studies or Dean, College of LifeLong Learning. The applicant should have an above average cumulative grade point average in order to meet the curriculum demands of foreign study. Educational institutions and courses must be approved by the appropriate department. For transfer of credits earned in study abroad programs, a grade of C or better is required in each course. All grades will be transcripted as earned. Students must provide official transcripts from study abroad programs. Students paying comprehensive tuition are eligible to apply for a 10% discount for study abroad programs offered through Arcadia University. Immaculata University participates in a scholarship program for summer study abroad. Short-Term Study Abroad courses (with 1-4 week travel) listed as spring or fall courses at any SEPCHE institution are included in the courses eligible for cross registration. Students who qualify for the SEPCHE cross registration program are not charged additional tuition to cross register for one of these courses. The student is responsible, however, for all travel-related costs. 27
