ART DEPARTMENT

Department Chair: Sonnema

Faculty: Aviña, Dalton, R. Hansen, V. Hansen, Johnson, Peters

The art curriculum is designed to aid and promote exploration of art-making processes and to increase the student’s understanding of art and its relationship to society. The art major prepares the student to be a practicing artist, to enter graduate school for further professional education or to enter the job market in art-related careers. Students also may select art courses as a means of achieving a greater sense of personal creativity and accomplishment. Students, faculty, and invited professional artists display works in the CSU-Pueblo Art Gallery. An active visiting artist program provides contact with successful regional and national professionals.

The major in art leads to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA). A minor in art is also available.

Department Goals

The department aims to provide art facilities, a creatively active faculty, and an engaging curriculum in a variety of emphasis areas. While at CSU-Pueblo, students mature as artists and integrate their knowledge in broad ways to fulfill their creative and professional lives.

Expected Student Outcomes

General Requirements

• The art faculty firmly believes that a quality undergraduate art program must be built from the strong foundation of basic concepts and techniques provided by the required ART CORE courses. Art history, drawing and design combined with an introduction to the basic art processes, provide the necessary background of information and skills for individual artistic growth and maturity. A strong grounding in the fundamentals of art, as provided in the ART CORE, indicates the department’s insistence upon respect for and commitment to the academic discipline of art as a professional career.
• Art majors must complete the required courses known as the ART CORE, before proceeding into the beginning courses.
• No grade lower than a C will count toward either an art major or minor.
• BFA candidates must maintain a 3.0 in the art major.
• Students are required to take 30 hours of major courses in residency.

The faculty supports and encourages the involvement of art majors and minors in the Art Club and related activities specific to each studio.

Outcomes Assessment Activities

• Art majors will successfully demonstrate competencies required by the department. Competencies will be evaluated through a portfolio review.
• Each art major is required to produce and maintain a portfolio of work done at CSU-Pueblo as a record of achievement. The contents and objectives of the portfolio will be described, discussed and planned in the career orientation class (Art 110). ART 310 is the mid degree portfolio review taken after completing the art core. Final evaluation of the progressive portfolio will take place during the student's last semester as part of the senior orientation class (Art 410).
• The format of the portfolio may vary according to subject matter and content but in general the presentation materials will consist of 35mm color slides, prints, graphic design samples, electronic files, and/or videotapes, as appropriate.
• As a competency indicator of achievements in the area of art history, part of the portfolio should contain samples of a student’s written material as related to art history, analysis and criticism.
• The intent of the portfolio is to faithfully reflect the ability and competency level of the art student as he or she progresses in the program. The makeup of the portfolio will reflect the personal accomplishments of each individual.
• A complete set of course outlines and examination examples for each course will be maintained and updated by faculty members and made available to the student upon request. Class objectives and skills attained during the class will be denoted clearly in these materials.

CHICANO/A STUDIES PROGRAM

The Chicano/a studies minor complements majors and careers in law, sociology, social work, languages, education, government, business and other disciplines. Courses offer unique undergraduate preparation for those who seek entrance to graduate studies in law, humanities or the social sciences.

Students who plan to live and work in the American Southwest or aspire to careers that involve relations in the American continents are likely to be well served by Chicano/a Studies courses. The interdisciplinary approach emphasizes history and cultural studies, and selected courses provide the student with in-depth knowledge of specific aspects of the Chicano/a community.

Program Goals

• To provide individual courses as well as a minor to fulfill the unique role and mission of Colorado State University-Pueblo.
• To offer an individually designed minor in support of students’ majors.

Expected Student Outcomes

General Requirements

• Students in Chicano/a studies courses will display an adequate and measurable knowledge of the subject matter within the course.
• Students in Chicano/a studies courses will develop an understanding of the relationships of ethnic groups within American society by viewing the academic study of Chicanos/as as a paradigm for the study of other ethnic groups.
• Students must earn a C or better in all courses applicable to the minor.

Specific Requirements for the Chicano/a Studies Minor

Twenty-four hours: 15 required, 9 elective. The following five courses are required.

Outcomes Assessment Activities

• Upon identification of a Chicano/a studies minor, the Chicano/a studies coordinator will initiate a “Chicano/a studies program” file on the student, with the student’s permission. The file will contain the program of design, the student’s orientation (research interest, general interest, personal interest, employment interest, etc.), a history of the student’s academic progress, the substantive research paper completed in CS 493, a record of meetings with the coordinator, and other examples of the student’s academic performance.
• At three- seven- and 10-year intervals, the graduate will be contacted and asked to evaluate the program’s influence.
• In addition to course syllabi, the Chicano/a studies coordinator will retain a copy of examinations administered in Chicano/a studies courses for a 10-year period. At five-year intervals, the coordinator and the faculty will determine if consistency and academic integrity are being maintained by reviewing instruments of cognitive measurement, student perception forms and trends, alumni comments, and comparative analysis of grade distribution patterns.

CREATIVE WRITING MINOR The English program coordinates a minor in creative writing, designed for students who are considering pursuing an MFA in creative writing upon graduation. Since, at the graduate level, the MFA degree specializes in either poetry, playwriting, creative non-fiction, or fiction, students minoring in Creative Writing will be required to focus their studies on one genre (Poetry, Fiction, or Playwriting) after completing a series of introductory courses, while at the same time enrolling in elective courses related to their personal writing goals. The minor is primarily geared toward non-English majors who are considering a career in creative writing or a graduate degree (MA or MFA) in their chosen genre. Program Goals Students will learn a working vocabulary for critical analysis of creative works. Students will produce a cumulative portfolio of work that is competitive at a publishable level. Outcome Assessment Activities The Coordinator of the Creative Writing minor reviews student portfolios and evaluates the level of performance demonstrated, tracks the placement of students in graduate programs, and keeps records of publications by students and former students, reporting the results annually.

FOREIGN LANGUAGES PROGRAM The Foreign Languages Program offers a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish (BA) intended to prepare students for public school teaching and certification, for admission to graduate school, and for careers in international organizations, government, and business. Minors in French, Italian, and Spanish complement a wide variety of majors in other disciplines to enhance the students’ ability to compete for jobs where knowledge of a foreign language is desirable. Courses in German, Russian, and Comparative Linguistics (listed under FL) are offered as permitted by enrollment. Student exchanges with foreign universities are encouraged. Program Goals for Spanish Majors Spanish Majors will achieve a level of proficiency in Spanish communication skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing) and in the understanding of Hispanic cultures sufficient to allow them to function effectively in careers in teaching, business, the media, government, the arts, etc. These goals will be achieved by showing proficiency in the 5 C’s: Communication: The communication standard stresses the use of Spanish for communication in “real life” situations. It emphasizes “what students can do with language” rather than “what they know about language.” Students are asked to communicate in oral and written form, to interpret oral and written messages, to show cultural understanding when they communicate, and to present oral and written information to various audiences for a variety of purposes. Cultures: Cultural understanding is an important part of Spanish language education. Experiencing other cultures develops a better understanding and appreciation of the relationship between languages and other cultures, as well as the student’s native culture. Students become better able to understand other people’s points of view, ways of life, and contributions to the world. Connections: Spanish-language instruction must be connected with other subject areas. Content from other subject areas is integrated with Spanish-language instruction through lessons or courses that are developed around themes common to other subject areas. Comparisons: Students are encouraged to compare and contrast Spanish language and cultures with their own. They discover patterns, make predictions, and analyze similarities and differences across languages and cultures. Students often come to understand their native language and culture better through such comparisons. Communities: Extending learning experiences from the Spanish-language classroom to the home and multilingual and multicultural community emphasizes living in a global society. Activities may include: field trips; use of e-mail and the Internet; participation in clubs, exchange or study-abroad programs, and cultural activities; school-to-work opportunities; and opportunities to hear speakers of Spanish at the University and in the classroom. Program Goals for Minors in Spanish, French and Italian Students minoring in French, Italian, and Spanish will be required to demonstrate a level of proficiency sufficient to converse comfortably on everyday topics, to attain intermediate levels of proficiency in writing and reading the target language, and to understand and appreciate the target language cultures. NOTE: Majors or minors who fail to complete a course with a grade of C or better are required to repeat the course with a satisfactory grade before proceeding to more advanced offerings. Placement in the Spanish course sequence: Students who have taken no Spanish in high school or at another institution of higher learning begin with SPN 101. Students who have taken Spanish in high school, but not at another institution of higher learning, must take a placement exam to determine their proper placement. Heritage Spanish speakers (that is, students who speak Spanish at home to a greater or lesser extent), students with significant Spanish immersion experience, and students who have taken Spanish courses at other institutions of higher learning must meet with a Spanish advisor in order to determine correct placement. The advisor will place the student based on any of the following or a combination thereof: an oral interview, the placement exam, a written   composition. Specific Requirements for the Spanish Major In addition to the courses listed below, Spanish majors must also meet the following requirements: A senior project. A second major, minor, or teacher education program. Completion of the oral and written proficiency exams and of the graduating-senior survey. At least one upper-division SPN course must emphasize Latin America, one Spain. Study abroad is strongly encouraged, especially for students planning to teach.

The committee’s annual reports evaluating the program and proposing any needed changes are compiled from the following information: A central file of course syllabi with representative assignments is maintained by the department for inspection by the committee and other qualified persons. Faculty advisors monitor each student’s progress towards completing major requirements and meeting the program goals listed in the catalog. Advisors report any problems or deficiencies in the program encountered by the students to the program assessment committee through the associate chair. All Spanish majors complete a senior project  emphasizing professional standards and sharpening the proficiency skills students have acquired in other Spanish courses. All students will be required to submit a copy of their project to the Program Assessment Committee for review. An exit exam evaluates proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing as well as understanding of Hispanic cultures. The Program Assessment Committee reviews the senior projects and the results of the exit exam on an annual basis and prepares an analysis of what is revealed about the program’s success. The Program Assessment Committee administers a student-satisfaction questionnaire to all senior foreign languages majors and minors each year. A similar questionnaire is sent to recent graduates on a periodic basis. The Program Assessment Committee monitors the foreign languages curricula at leading comparable institutions and apprises the department of innovations worthy of consideration. HISTORY/ POLITICAL SCIENCE/PHILOSOPHY/GEOGRAPHY DEPARTMENT Department Chair: M. Gose Faculty: Berardi, Carter, Harris, Gose, Loats, Matusiak, Rees, Sandoval, Spade The programs in history, political science, philosophy, and geography are intended to provide domains of study both for students who desire knowledge for personal enrichment and for students who desire to apply knowledge toward career objectives. Students who major or minor in the fields of the department should expect to develop and refine knowledge of other cultures and the historical and political development of the modern world. Students should also expect to engage in methodical research. Other expectations of students include the ability to prepare rationally cogent papers and the ability to understand political theories, historical movements, and the connections between each. Departmental programs not only prepare students for occupations in government, business, education, and industry, but also are central to the University’s traditional function of transmitting culture from generation to generation. HISTORY PROGRAM The major in history leads to the degree of Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BS) and prepares students for careers in teaching, law, government, and private enterprise, as well as entry into graduate programs. Program Goals To provide students with a general knowledge of history and historical methodology; To prepare students, through training in communication skills and in research methods, to gain knowledge of a given area of history; To prepare students to continue personal study and learning about specific subject areas in the discipline on an independent basis; To prepare students to engage in critical thinking; and To introduce students to the theoretical frameworks that serve as the foundation of historical scholarship.

LIBERAL STUDIES PROGRAM Dr. Victoria Marquesen, Coordinator The Liberal Studies major, which leads to a B.S. degree, is intended to provide a strong liberal arts education for future elementary education teachers.  Core requirements build upon students’ experiences in General Education to provide both breadth and depth in the arts and humanities, English, math, sciences, and social sciences. Required courses provide support in each area of the Colorado K-6 Model Content Standards. Students are required to select an area of concentration or emphasis for an additional 12 hours of study. Areas of concentration may be chosen from Art, English, Health, History, Language and Linguistics, Leadership, Math, Modern Foreign Languages, Music, Political Science, Psychology, Science, and Sociology. This degree is approved for students in Elementary Education. Students completing the Liberal Studies major are required to minor in Education.  Program Goals At CSU-Pueblo, teacher education is a campus wide responsibility, and overall program goals reflect components of both the Liberal Studies major and Education minor. It is the purpose of the Liberal Studies major to assure that students will develop breadth and depth of knowledge of the liberal arts, and it is the responsibility of the Education minor to assure students become proficient at transforming this knowledge into curriculum and instruction for young children. It is the joint responsibility of both the major and minor to prepare future teachers to evaluate information critically, to study and research independently, and to communicate knowledge effectively. The following four program goals have been established for the Liberal Studies Degree. Goal 1 is largely the responsibility of the Liberal Studies major and Goal 4 the responsibility of the Elementary Education minor; benchmarks for Goals 2 and 3 have been designed across the entire degree program. Acquisition of Knowledge. Graduates are broadly educated in the liberal arts and sciences: Understanding the significant ideas, concepts, structures and values within disciplines, including theoretical, ethical, and practical implications. Mastering content knowledge in all areas taught in elementary schools: the arts, math literature and language, social sciences, sciences, and human development and learning. Balancing a breadth of knowledge in the liberal arts and sciences with depth of knowledge within a discipline. Construction of Knowledge. Graduates demonstrate habits of thinking, including analytical skills, independent thinking, reasoned judgment, mature values, and imagination: Utilizing the tools of inquiry of the humanities, arts, mathematics, and behavioral, social, and natural sciences to understand and evaluate ideas. Developing habits of critical intellectual inquiry, including self-direction and self-reflection. Making connections from different intellectual perspectives and multiple viewpoints to form cross-disciplinary connections. Utilizing research skills of the liberal arts and sciences, including library and data retrieval skills, to study and evaluate information. Communication of Knowledge. Graduates communicate effectively: Writing clearly in a variety of academic and practical formats. Speaking effectively in a variety of settings. Utilizing technology as a tool to inform and communicate. Application of Knowledge. Graduates create standards-based learning experiences that make knowledge accessible, exciting, and meaningful for all students: Using multiple representations and explanations of disciplinary concepts that capture key ideas and link them to students’ prior understandings. Using different viewpoints, theories, “ways of knowing,’ and methods of inquiry in teaching of subject matter content. Evaluating curriculum for their comprehensiveness, accuracy, and usefulness for representing particular ideas and concepts. Engaging students in generating knowledge and testing hypotheses according to the methods of inquiry and standards of evidence used in the discipline Developing and using curricula that encourage students to see and interpret ideas from diverse perspectives. Creating interdisciplinary learning experiences that allow inquiry from several subject areas. Program Design The program is planned as a coherent whole, with four components: General Education Specific General Education courses form the foundation of knowledge for all students with this major. These courses fulfill CSU-Pueblo graduation requirements and are essential to meet many of the content standards for elementary teachers.  Courses in the arts and humanities, English, math, history, sciences, and social sciences contribute to the General Education core. Liberal Studies Core Liberal Studies Core requirements build upon students’ experiences in General Education to provide both breadth and depth to the program to meet program goals. Emphasis is placed on each area relative to K-6 content standards to assure depth of knowledge in the humanities, social sciences, math, and sciences. Liberal Studies Area of Emphasis in a Specific Discipline Students are required to select an area of concentration or emphasis and, in consultation with an advisor, develop a plan for study for an additional 12 hours in Liberal Studies. The plan should include goals to be achieved by the concentration and the sequence of courses to achieve the goals. Areas of concentration may be chosen from art, English, health, history, language and linguistics, math, modern foreign languages, music, political science, psychology, science, and sociology. Elementary Education has special requirements for admission and retention. Please refer to the section in the catalog for this information. Education Minor All students must complete a minor in Education. The Education minor, which has been developed to coordinate with the major, requires completion of 40 credit hours. Please refer to Teacher Education Program section/Specific Requirements for the Elementary Teaching Endorsement. Education has special requirements for admission and retention. Please refer to Teacher Education Program section/Selective Entry and Retention in Teacher Education Admission. Program Assessment Assessment will be ongoing, with evaluations at three check points (admission to education, admission to student teaching, and program completion), as well as follow-up assessments at the end of one year after program completion. Student outcomes will be evaluated through, a) formal assessments at the sophomore (e.g., Measure of Academic Proficiency and Progress-MAPP) and senior level  (PRAXIS Elementary Education Content Exam), b) faculty recommendations of student progress, c) portfolio assessment, and d) assessment of the application of knowledge in students’ field experiences and student teaching. The contents of the electronic portfolio required of all students will include representative work from courses, as well as student-directed evaluations of progress. The Teacher Education Board, consisting of faculty from each Liberal Studies discipline, will have primary responsibility for evaluation of the program; and the Associate Dean for Education will assume responsibility for gathering program evaluation information and reporting to the Board. Requirements for the Liberal Studies Major Requirements for admission and retention in teacher education are included in the description of the Teacher Education Program in this catalog and in the Teacher Education Handbook. Students must receive a grade of C or greater in all courses listed as requirements; a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.500 in the major is required for admission to student teaching.
