24INTRODUCTIONA BRIEF HISTORY OF BENEDICT COLLEGEBENEDICT COLLEGE, originally Benedict Institute, was founded in 1870 on an 80-acreplantation in Columbia, South Carolina. Under the auspices of the American Baptist HomeMission Society, Mrs. Bathsheba A. Benedict of Pawtucket, Rhode Island, provided theamount of $13,000.00 to purchase the land to open Benedict Institute on December 12,1870. This new school was established to educate recently emancipated people of Africandescent.Benedict's first class consisted of ten recently emancipated people of African descent andone teacher, the Reverend Timothy L. Dodge, D.D. He was a college-trained preacherfrom the North, who became president of the Institute. Benedict Institute set out fromhumble beginnings in a dilapidated former slave master's mansion to prepare men andwomen to be "powers for good in society." The mansion, built in 1839, served as the firstschoolhouse where grammar school subjects, along with Bible and theology, were taught.Eventually other subjects were added to the curriculum to address the original objective ofthe school: to train teachers and preachers.On November 2, 1894, the institution was chartered as a liberal arts college by the SouthCarolina Legislature and the name "Benedict Institute" was changed to "Benedict College."From 1870 to 1930, Benedict College was led by seven northern white Baptist ministers,all college trained. On April 10, 1930, the Reverend John J. Starks, who earned his bachelor'sdegree from the College in 1891, became the first African American president of theCollege. Five African-American presidents have succeeded him.Maintaining a liberal arts tradition, Benedict College now offers bachelor degree programsin thirty major areas of study to meet the needs of a complex and technological society athome and world-wide as the twenty-first century sets new parameters for peoples acrossthe globe.In 1994 with a strategic planning process in place, Benedict College set an enrollmentgoal of "2000 by the year 2000". The goal was achieved in 1996 with an enrollment of2,138 students. The fall 2002 enrollment was 3,005; fall 2010 enrollment was 3,143.Benedict College is engaged in an on-going strategic planning process, which will guidethe College in the twenty-first century.The College is currently undergoing an extensive campus improvement plan, which includesland acquisition and the completion of a comprehensive athletics complex which includesthe Charlie W. Johnson Stadium. Campus facilities improvements since 1994 have includedinstallation of air-conditioning, fire sprinkler systems, and security systems in residence halls;completion of an activities field and community park; renovation of Bacoats Hall, Alumni Hall,Starks Center, and historic Antisdel Chapel; and restoration of historic Morgan, Pratt, andStarks Halls, the latter of which houses the Student Leadership Development Center. Duringthis period, new construction has included three residence halls, a parking garage, acampus center/dining hall, an Administration Building, a Business Development Center, andperimeter fencing. Additionally buildings were acquired to house a fitness center, theDivision of Community Development/Center for Excellence, the child development center,the visitor’s center/admissions office, and the Continuing

It also postulates a correlation between effort and knowledge:the more effort a student expends, the greater his/her knowledge acquisition is expected to be.1. Every student enrolled in 100-and 200- level classes receives two letter grades, one for knowledgeand another for effort.2. Faculty members determine the criteria and rigor of each grading component. Effort criteriashould include attendance,class participation, assignments, papers, etc.3. Grade books contain sufficient information that allows academic administrators to determine howa student's academic performance was graded.The intersection of knowledge and effort grades shows the final grade that will be earned for thatcombination of knowledge and effort grades. The chart below shows the two components of the SE 2Grading Policy.FRESHMAN (100 LEVEL)Knowledge GradeEffort Grade A B C D FA A A B C CB B B B C DC B C C C DD C C D D FF C D D F FSOPHOMORE (200 LEVEL)Knowledge GradeEffort Grade A B C D FA A B B C DB A B C C DC B B C D DD B C C D FF C C D D FSTUDENT CODE OF ACADEMIC RESPONSIBILITYStrength of character is as important as academic achievement; therefore the College expects every -one in the academic community to maintain personal integrity and avoid any conduct designed to gainunfair advantage in obtaining a grade.

CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAM 269Philosophy of the Curriculum:The interdisciplinary studies curriculum embraces the philosophy that one must be willing to cross traditionaldisciplinary boundaries in order to create new knowledge, promote understanding and solveproblems. A major underpinning of this philosophy is that interdisciplinary studies is a process ofanswering questions, solving problems, and addressing topics that are often too broad or complex tobe dealt with adequately by a single discipline or profession. It becomes necessary, therefore, to drawupon the disciplinary perspectives and integrate their insights through the development of a more comprehensiveperspective and view of thinking. The philosophy is based upon a way of thinking thatencourages coordination as well as cooperation among disciplinary perspectives. Persons who desireto pursue a major in interdisciplinary studies are expected to prepare in two or more disciplinary areasand have a fairly broad understanding of the world. They are expected to possess clarity and precisionin reading, writing, and speaking. Additionally, the focus of the curriculum is to produce graduates whopossess good analytical, critical thinking, and basic research skills.GRADUATION REQUIREMENTSAdult Nontraditional Students with a major in Interdisciplinary Studies must complete the following:General Education Requirements [60 schs]All Students at Benedict College are required to complete a minimum of sixty credit hours of GeneralEducation.Summary of Program Requirements for the Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary StudiesMathematics (General College Math I and II, or College Algebra and Pre-calculus) 6-7 hoursEnglish (Freshman Composition I and II, World Literature I and II)12 hoursHumanities (Art Appreciation, Theatre Appreciation, Music Appreciation)4 hoursPhysical Education2 hoursForeign Language (French Conversation and Grammar Review Ior Spanish Conversation and Grammar Review I)3 hoursNatural Sciences (4 hrs. in Biological Science, 4 hrs. in Environmental Science,or a two semester course in either)8 hoursSocial Sciences (3 hrs. in World Civilization or United States History; 3 hrs. in African-AmericanHistory; 3 hrs in Political Science, or Sociology, orPsychology; and 3 hrs in Economics)12 hoursHealth Education3 hoursReligion (Comparative Religion)2 hoursElectives8 hoursTotal Semester Hours requiredMinimum of 128 Semester HoursInterdisciplinary Core Requirements [18 schs]IDS 339 Academic Literacy in Interdisciplinary Studies 3 hoursINTD 333 Foundations of Indisciplinary Studies 3 hoursorINTD 430 Introduction to Interdisciplinary Studies 3 hoursINTD 431 Contemporary Problems and Issues 3 hoursINTD 432 Effective Strategies for Intellectual Independence 3 hoursINTD 433 Research Strategies & Technology 3 hoursorINTD 435 Intro to Research in Interdisciplinary Studies 3 hoursINTD 434 Capstone/Internship 3 hoursorINTD 437 Senior Capstone 3 hoursTotal:15 hours
