In consultation withthe advisory committee, the student develops plansfor his or her program, which are then submitted aspart of the application.

Students whose major concentration isapplied physics, astrophysics, biochemistry, biology,biomedical engineering, biopsychology, biotechnology,chemical physics, chemistry, cognitive andbrain sciences, computer science, engineering psychology,environmental studies, geological sciences,geology, mathematics, and physics will receive aBachelor of Science degree. Those majoring in psychology,psychology/clinical, and quantitative economicsmay choose to receive the degree ofBachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts at the timethey complete their degree sheet. Students in allother majors will receive a Bachelor of Arts degree.Students whose multiple majors make them eligiblefor either a Bachelor of Arts degree or a Bachelor ofScience degree may choose between the two whencompleting their degree sheet.Pass-Fail OptionWithin the limits stated below, students may electto have their grades in certain courses recordedsimply as pass or fail. The purpose of this option isto encourage students to extend their academicinterests. Faculty advisers will approve selection ofthe option if this purpose is clearly fulfilled; it is notdesigned as a safety valve to permit students tocarry unrealistic academic loads. A student will begraded as usual throughout the course, with finalgrades transcribed by the registrar into pass (if D-or better) or fail. A pass does not affect the gradepoint average; a failing grade is averaged into thegrade point average.In a thirty-four course credit program, studentsare normally required to take at least twenty-sixsemester course credits under standard grading;the pass-fail option may be applied to any coursesin excess of twenty-six, with the exceptions statedelsewhere in this section.Transfer students and those students whotransfer credit to Tufts from programs at otherinstitutions must complete three-fourths of theirwork at Tufts under standard grading subject tothe stated quality requirement. The pass-failoption may be applied to courses in the remainingone-fourth of the program with the exceptionsstated below.No distinction is made between regular coursesthat a student elects to take under pass-fail gradingand those courses that may only be taken passfail.All decisions with respect to the pass-failoption must be made within the first five weeks ofany term. After five weeks, the student must completea course under the grading system then inforce or withdraw from the course. For liberal artsstudents, only electives may be taken pass-fail;15

However, students should be guided intheir choice by the purpose of promoting breadth aswell as depth in intellectual development. In planningtheir programs of study, students should keepin mind that a good general education in thehumanities, the arts, the sciences, mathematics, andthe social sciences is a distinguishing characteristicof members of all the established professions. Facultyadvisers are ready at all times to aid and counselin making decisions.Seniors must file a degree sheet the semesterprior to their expected date of graduation. (ConsultUndergraduate Education in Dowling Hall.)Undergraduate Minor ProgramsA student may have any number of majors andminors, provided there is only one disciplinary(departmental) minor. Two course credits usedtoward the departmental minor may be used towarda foundation, distribution, or concentration requirement.Two courses used toward the interdisciplinaryminor may be used toward a distribution or concentrationrequirement, but not toward a foundationrequirement.Disciplinary (or Departmental)A minor is a coherent group of four to six coursecredits that may be a limited version of a field ofconcentration or a group of courses having closelyrelated subject matter. Minors are optional and inno way replace the field of concentration. Theobject of a minor program is to present studentswith the basic concepts in a single scholarly discipline,including an introduction to appropriatemethodologies and ways of thinking around thesubject.Students may have only one disciplinary(departmental) minor, regardless of the number ofmajors. Two course credits used toward the departmentalminor may be used toward a foundation,distribution, or concentration requirement. Studentsmay not complete both a minor and a concentration(major) in the same discipline. Allcourses used in fulfillment of a disciplinary minormust be taken for a grade. Not all departmentshave minors, so students should consult departmentwebsites for additional information.InterdisciplinaryThe interdisciplinary minor involves a designatedgroup of five credits from at least three departmentsor programs of the university, bringing to bear theknowledge and perspectives of various disciplines ona single subject. Students may select a minor fromamong the programs approved by the Subcommitteeon Academic Minors of the Committee onCurricula. These programs offering interdisciplinaryminors are listed below.Students may have more than one interdisciplinaryminor, regardless of the number of majorsthey have, and may have an interdisciplinary minorin addition to a departmental minor. Two creditsused toward the interdisciplinary minor may beused toward a distribution or concentrationrequirement, but not toward a foundation requirement.In addition to the five credits, a student isrequired to complete an appropriate project, such asa thesis, an oral presentation, or a performance,which integrates the knowledge and methodologiesof the disciplines involved. The integrative projectwill receive a letter grade and be given one-half orone course credit under a designation either fromthe sponsoring program or CIS (Center for InterdisciplinaryStudies) 120/121. The topic of theproject must receive initial approval from aninstructor of one of the courses taken by the studentfor the specific minor program. This instructorwill also agree to direct the student’s work onthe project. The project will be evaluated by at leastone other faculty member whose courses are part ofthe particular minor program, and who will thenconsult the project director regarding the grade tobe assigned. The student is responsible for selectingthe faculty members who will participate in thisaspect of the program.In a further effort to synthesize knowledgeacquired in the program, the faculty membersinvolved in each minor will arrange two meetingsfor all students who will be working on their projectin that particular academic year. The first meeting,scheduled for the fall semester, will give thestudents the opportunity to consult the facultyregarding project topics, resources, and methodology.The second meeting, held at the end of the16
