Major in General Studies The general studies major allows students to take courses in a particular focus area and related discipline or in an interdisciplinary combination. It allows students to draw from various disciplines that provide a body of knowledge appropriate to an identified area of interest (for example, an aspect of culture, a historical period, or a geographical location). The interdisciplinary approach emphasizes analysis and synthesis of diverse theory and practice. Objectives Students who graduate with a major in general studies will be able to: • Understand and apply key concepts from chosen disciplines. • Develop effective written and oral communication skills consistent with the chosen area of study. • Apply skills and concepts to problems of modern life. • Define an approach grounded in the chosen disciplines and appropriate to the study of a specific topic, area, or theme. • Develop effective skills in cross-disciplinary comparison, historical and critical analysis, research, and evaluation. 2004-2005 Undergraduate Catalog
• Use computers for communication and research. • Demonstrate information literacy through research and resource evaluation appropriate to the chosen area of study. Requirements for the Major A major in general studies requires the completion of 30 semester hours of coursework appropriate to the option chosen (in-depth focus, interdisciplinary breadth, or individual studies); at least 15 semester hours must be earned in courses numbered 300 or above. The general studies major requires prior approval. Students must submit a formal proposal explaining the focus and curricular objectives of the proposed course of study and identifying specific courses to fulfill those objectives. Students should consult an academic advisor about the requirements and procedure for submitting a proposal. The general studies major is subject to all requirements and limitations applied to other majors. Major Options A student must choose one of the following options for the general studies major: In-Depth Focus With an in-depth focus, students combine courses from two disciplines: a focus area plus a supporting area. Students must take 18 semester hours in the focus area and 9 semester hours in the supporting area, as well as 3 semester hours in related elective coursework. At least 12 semester hours in the focus area and 3 semester hours in the supporting area must be earned in courses numbered 300 or above. Interdisciplinary Breadth With the interdisciplinary breadth option, students combine courses from three disciplines, with a minimum of 12 semester hours in each of two areas, plus 6 semester hours in a third. At least half of the semester hours in each area must be earned in courses numbered 300 or above. Individual Studies The individual studies option provides an opportunity for students to create and complete an individualized course of study that combines offerings from multiple disciplines. With prior approval, the student may design an interdisciplinary program of study around a clearly defined academic goal that cannot reasonably be satisfied in an existing curriculum at the university but for which an appropriate course of study can be identified and completed at UMUC. Students could, for example, work with a UMUC academic advisor to construct General Studies majors in disciplines such as Anthropology, Art History and Appreciation, Economics, Foreign Language Area Studies (German, Italian, Spanish), Government and Politics, Mathematics, Philosophy, or Sociology, as outlined in other portions of the bachelor’s requirements section in this Catalog. German (see Foreign Language Area Studies) UMUC Bachelor’s Degrees Government and Politics Students may seek a major focused on government and politics within the Individual Studies option of the General Studies major as outlined below and in the General Studies section in this Catalog.

The remaining three semester hours of coursework must be selected from coursework related to the study of government and politics. Minor in Government and Politics The government and politics minor complements the skills the student gains in his or her major discipline by providing a study of U.S. government and politics, comparative government, international relations, public administration, and state and local administration. Objectives The student who graduates with a minor in government and politics will be able to: • Explain political science terminology and concepts. • Explain a variety of approaches to the study and practice of politics. • Explain the scope of political science, government, political process, law, and international politics. • Articulate informed opinions about political issues and events. • Analyze social and political problems. 2004-2005 Undergraduate Catalog 55
