ART DEPARTMENT

Department Chair: Sonnema
Faculty: Aviña, Dalton, R. Hansen, V. Hansen,
Jensen, Johnson

The art curriculum is designed 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) and Bachelor of Science (BS). A minor in art is also available.

Department Goals

The art major prepares students to be visually creative individuals with skills in studio processes, knowledgeable in art history, and with experience to enter art-related careers in the job market.

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, except Art 410, before proceeding into the beginning courses.

No grade lower than a C will count toward either an art major or minor.

Students are required to take 30 hours of major courses in residency

Co-curricular requirements

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

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). 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

Program Coordinator: D. L. Cobian

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.

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.

DEPARTMENT

Department Chair:	B. Spade
Faculty:	Aichele, Berardi, Carter, 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.

Expected Student Outcomes

PRE-LAW EMPHASIS

Advisors: Dr. Gayle Berardi and Dr. Beatrice Spade

Although a political science or history major, or minor, is not required, students interested in attending law school should consult the department’s pre-law advisor as early as possible.

POLITICAL SCIENCE PROGRAM

The major in political science leads to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Science (BS), and prepares undergraduates for careers in law, government and politics. Courses in political science also serve to complement the liberal arts core at CSU-Pueblo and to prepare students for acceptance into graduate programs leading to professional degrees in law, public administration, or to specialized academic degrees.

While encouraging an exposure to a number of the sub-fields of the discipline, three areas of emphasis are offered in the political science major: public administration and public policy, comparative and international politics, and American political institutions and politics.

Program Goals

To prepare students majoring in the discipline to:

Demonstrate a basic understanding of historical, philosophical and empirical foundations of political science;

Demonstrate a general command of knowledge about the American political system, comparative and international politics, the history of political thought, and standard political science research approaches; and

Demonstrate an ability to continue personal study and learning on an independent basis about specific subjects in the discipline.

To prepare students minoring in the discipline to:

Demonstrate a basic understanding of the nature of the discipline; and

Demonstrate a general knowledge and understanding of the American political system and of comparative and world politics.

Expected Student Outcomes

General Requirements

Students in the major must complete a minimum of 36 semester credit hours in political science, including 15 hours in the political science core. Students are required to earn a grade of C or better in all courses and to maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.500 or better.

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, 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.

1. Acquisition of Knowledge. Graduates are broadly educated in the liberal arts and sciences:
   
2. • 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.
     
3. 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.
     
     
4. 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.
     
5. 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:

1. 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.
   
   
2. 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.
   
   
3. 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.
   
   
4. 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 37 credit hours. Education has special requirements for admission and retention. Please refer to the section in the catalog for this information.
   

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., Academic Profile) 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.

MASS COMMUNICATIONS
DEPARTMENT AND CENTER FOR NEW MEDIA

Department Chair:	Mullen
Faculty:	Ebersole, Joyce, Lovato, Mullen, Orman, Steffen

KTSC-FM Manager: Matt Garbiso

The Mass Communications Department and Center for New Media supports the mission of the University by offering an applied major in which technological innovation is grounded in a traditional humanities and social sciences curriculum. Students are prepared for careers in the media and related disciplines while also being given the ethical and aesthetic foundation to make those careers meaningful.

The major in Mass Communications leads to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Science (BS). A degree in Mass Communications leads to careers in reporting, writing, editing, public relations, advertising, audio and video production, and interactive multimedia authoring.

Emphasis areas, or sequences, require 21 additional credit hours of course work beyond the mandatory 21-credit hour core for completion of the major. Selected professional courses may have course specific fees. Please consult your advisor.

The TODAY, the University’s newspaper, is published as a laboratory tool of the Mass Communications department. The newspaper serves the students, faculty and staff of CSU-Pueblo in addition to the Pueblo community. Editorial and management positions are awarded each semester after review of all applications from qualified students. The newspaper is funded through advertising revenue. The newspaper’s advisor is a member of the Mass Communications faculty. Prerequisites: MCCNM 201 and declared major or minor.

KTSC-FM is licensed to CSU-Pueblo as an educational radio station by the Federal Communications Commission. Operated by the Mass Communications department, the 10,000-watt station serves a 50-mile radius of the campus. Advanced Mass Communications students are involved in daily programming, production, and news. Prerequisites: Declared major or minor in Mass Communications, MCCNM 141 and 150.

KTSC-TV, a Public Broadcasting full-power station affiliated with Rocky Mountain Public Broadcasting and CPB, provides laboratory training and on-campus labs for television students. Prerequisites: Declared major or minor in Mass Communications, MCCNM 142.

The Center for New Media is a cooperative effort between CSU-Pueblo and Pueblo Community College. As such, the Center provides additional resources and experiences for students, including opportunities to work with a digital, six-camera production truck and advanced computer laboratories.

Department Goal

The primary goal of the Mass Communications Depart ment/Center for New Media is to offer a pragmatic and professionally oriented program aimed at preparing majors for successful careers in the media and related areas and to prepare students for graduate study.

Expected Student Outcomes

General Requirements

• Majors are required to specialize in one of five emphasis areas offered by the department:
  
  - Advertising
  - Broadcasting (TV and Radio Production)
  - New Media Studies
  - News Editorial-Journalism
  - Public Relations
  
  
• Successful Mass Communications majors will demonstrate sufficient knowledge, comprehension and analytical skills by the ability to evaluate specific communication events in the proper context of their emphasis area.
  
  
• Each faculty member will keep, in the department’s central file, a set of course outlines or syllabi that list the objectives and skills achieved during the semester. This central pool of materials describes the detailed expectations and accountability elements for the Mass Communications/Center for New Media major on a course-by-course basis.
  
  
• Writing skills are foundational for the entire program of Mass Communications/Center for New Media at CSU-Pueblo. Students are required to maintain a minimum grade-point average of 2.500 through a prerequisite sequence of writing classes beginning with MCCNM 201, 202, and 233 as appropriate to the selected emphasis area. Courses must be satisfactorily completed before advanced work in an emphasis area will be encouraged.
  
  
• Consistent with general CSU-Pueblo policy, no student enrolled in Mass Communications/Center for New Media courses may accumulate unexcused absences, or arrive late for scheduled classes more often than five percent of the total number of scheduled contact hours without penalty.
  
  
• The Mass Communications department believes that grades are valid quantitative indicators of student performance. Students’ GPAs in the major or minor will be used by emphasis area advisors for both formative and summary evaluations of majors and minors.
  
  
• Students graduating with either a BA or BS degree must achieve a total grade-point average of 2.500 within the major. The GPA will be calculated on all courses with the MCCNM prefix appearing on the student’s transcript.
  
  
• Students graduating from the University and majoring in Mass Communications/Center for New Media should pass all MCCNM courses with a grade of C or better, but students will not be required to repeat D grades as long as the 2.500 MCCNM grade point average is achieved.
  
  
• While it is necessary for Mass Communications/ Center for New Media majors and minors to meet the minimum GPA standards set by the department and the University, it is expected that graduates will exceed these standards.

Co-curricular Requirements

1. The thrust of the Mass Communications Department/Center for New Media is pragmatic, therefore, all students are encouraged to be involved in opportunities provided by participation in the following media labs:
   
   • Desktop Publishing and design
     
   • TODAY newspaper: News Editorial and Advertising
     
   • KTSC-FM (on-campus radio station) KTSC-TV (on campus PBS affiliated station)
     
   • CNM Productions (remote production truck)
     
   • CSU-Pueblo Communique (alumni/foundation newsletter)
     
   The media labs provide the necessary entry to strongly suggested field experience programs. Field placements are not required, but students may earn up to eight credit hours in such internships.
   
   
2. In addition, Mass Communications/Center for New Media majors and minors are encouraged to join and participate in additional co-curricular activities on campus and through community and University projects.

Specific Requirements for the Mass
Communications/Center for New Media Minor

Students desiring a minor in Mass Communications/ Center for New Media must complete 21-credit hours approved by their minor area advisor and MUST include MCCNM 101 and 201. The minor may not include more than 3 credits of laboratory work and must include at least 6 hours of upper division course work. Minors should provide work samples for inclusion in an academic portfolio. Minors must achieve no less than a 2.0 GPA in MCCNM-prefix courses.

Outcomes Assessment Activities

Student success is measured through a variety of methods that include classroom writing samples, portfolios of student work, professional internship evaluations, exit interviews, student employment upon graduation, and alumni feedback.

Each major or minor is encouraged to maintain an academic portfolio of all salient work or projects completed while in the department. The department chair, in collaboration with emphasis advisors, will review and evaluate a selection of portfolios in the spring of each year to track student progress.

The Mass Communications Department/Center for New Media insists that the academic portfolio demonstrate a pattern of sustained academic growth and development of the major and minor, appropriate to the student's emphasis area.

The academic portfolio should reflect the quality and level of intellectual and scholarly work undertaken by the student while in the department, relative to the qualitative, quantitative, ethical, legal and aesthetic dimensions of the field. The appropriateness of the content is dictated by the student's emphasis area and is prescribed by the individual's advisor.

All academic portfolios will remain in the department's central files for two years after the student's graduation, to enable qualified persons to determine how well student performance measures up to program goals. The department will continue every effort to track graduates in order to gather further indicators of success.

A student may be required to participate in an exit interview during his or her final semester. Students are selected on a random basis from enrollments in the department's capstone course, Mass Media Seminar.

MILITARY SCIENCE (US ARMY)
(Reserve Officers’ Training Corps Program)

Professor of Military Science: Lieutenant Colonel Kathy Schramm; Assistant Professors of Military Science: Major David Mount, Major Robert Koch; Senior Military Science Instructors: Sergeant First Class Gener Molina, Sergeant First Class Steven Ruterbories

The Army ROTC Program

The focus of this program is to recruit, develop, and commission college-educated men and women to serve in the United States Army. Participants in the program are commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Army upon graduation with a bachelor’s degree. They will be expected to serve in either the active Army or in the Reserve Components (Army Reserves or Army National Guard) after commissioning.

The program is centered on teaching the principles of leadership. These principles can be applied to positions in the military or in civilian careers. All courses of instruction are designed to develop leadership and management skills as well as enhance the self-confidence and initiative of each student.

Military Science is taken in addition to the required courses for each student’s major.

ROTC is a four-year program that is divided into two phases: the Basic Course and the Advanced Course.

A minor in Military Science is available for qualified students.

The Basic Course

The focus for these lower division courses (MS 100/200 courses) is to lay a foundation for more advanced instruction in the skills needed to be a successful leader. Students may participate even if they do not plan on receiving a commission in order to gain experience in leadership and management.

This phase is open to all qualified students (generally freshmen and sophomores). Students should be aware that there are some physical requirements for successful course completion.

There is no military obligation for participation in the Basic Course unless a student is receiving an Army ROTC Scholarship.

Sophomores wanting to complete the Basic Course requirements so that they may enter the Advanced Course can compress the Basic Course and/or attend the Leader’s Training Course during the summer between their sophomore and junior years. For further information please see below and contact the Department of Military Science.

The Advanced Course

The Advanced Course (MS 300/400 level courses) is oriented to preparing students (juniors and seniors) who have successfully completed the basic course requirements with the skills and knowledge necessary to be commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Army. The focus of the Advanced Course continues on building leadership skills and abilities.

Students participating in the Advanced Course have a contractual obligation to complete the program and enter the Army upon graduation.

Students must have a minimum of four semesters remaining in their course work before graduation to participate in the Advanced Course and they must be in a full-time status (12 credit hours per semester) during each of those semesters.

Credit for the Basic Course for entry into the Advanced Course may be achieved in a number of ways. The normal progression is to successfully complete all four Basic Course Military Science classes (MS 101, 102, 201 and 202) with a grade of “C” or better. Students can also enter the course laterally by receiving credit for one of the following:

• Prior enlisted service in the Army, Air Force, Navy or Marines
  
  
• Participation of a minimum of three years in a JROTC program
  
  
• At least one year as a service academy cadet
  
  
• Successful completion of the Army ROTC Leaders Training Course (LTC). This training is available to students who did not have the opportunity to participate in any of the above programs. The five-week camp is conducted every summer at Fort Knox, KY. Participants receive pay while attending. The Army pays travel and some other expenses. Students who participate will be required to contract before attending. For more information contact the Department of Military Science.
  

Students participating in the Advance Course will be required to attend the Leadership Development and Assessment Course (Advanced Camp) which is conducted annually at Fort Lewis, Washington. This course is normally attended during the summer between a student’s junior and senior year. It is a 32-day event that provides the best professional training and evaluation for all students participating in ROTC before commissioning. The course mission includes continued military training and leadership development, but the primary focus is to evaluate each student’s officer potential. This course represents the only opportunity in ROTC to gather all qualified students from across the nation on one “level playing field” for the purpose of making those assessments. Successful completion of the course is mandatory for commissioning

PSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT

Department Chair:	L. Madrid
Faculty:	Binggeli, Frankmann, Kulkosky, Levy, Madrid, Pratarelli, Yescavage

Psychology is a field of inquiry, which is called the science of the mind, or the science of behavior and answers questions about how and why organisms behave as they do. The field of psychology is enormous with many sub fields. Some areas pertain to animals, while others are focused on the behavior of humans. Still other areas focus on, abnormal behavior or complex social and emotional behavior while the cognitive area focuses on how people perceive, learn, remember, and think.

Psychology is a discipline based on theoretical perspectives and information gained through research. Therefore, the psychology major is based on understanding theory as well as learning the methods of inquiry, evaluation, and drawing appropriate conclusions. These skills are useful for problem solving in many applied settings. Many employment opportunities exist for bachelor’s degree holders.

The bachelor’s degree program in psychology at CSU-Pueblo offers a curriculum which provides the student with an overview of the major areas within psychology, along with the opportunity to select courses which fit their personal interests. Through psychology courses at CSU-Pueblo, a student can enhance their career opportunities and/or gain an academic grounding for professional and graduate training. Students who seek careers as professional psychologists should consider studies at the graduate level. Students are encouraged to take advantage of many opportunities in the psychology department including field placements and both laboratory and field-based research. There is a local chapter of Psi Chi, the National Honor Society in Psychology, which encourages students to maintain excellence in scholarship. Students are encouraged to participate in both Psi Chi and the Psychology Club.

Expected Student Outcomes

• Psychology graduates should have factual knowledge about significant theories, issues, and methods of inquiry. They should be able to compare the major theoretical perspectives represented in psychology.
  
  
• Psychology graduates should have acquired the skills needed to comprehend basic psychological concepts such as critical thinking, statistical thinking, and identifying valid and invalid conclusions based on empirical evidence.
  
  
• Graduates should be able to read and write complex prose, to comprehend journal articles, and to present a coherent and persuasive argument on a psychological topic.
  
  
• Graduates should have skills of information gathering and synthesis including appropriate use of library and internet materials and the ability to derive conclusions after surveying a variety of sources.
  
  
• Psychology graduates should be able to demonstrate an understanding of theoretical biases, especially as they relate to minority groups and sexist thinking.
  
  
• Students should gain practical experience in the form of relevant volunteer activities, field experience, work experience, or research assistantships.
  

Requirements

A total of 42 hours in psychology is required for the major. Psychology majors should consult a faculty advisor who will assist in selecting psychology courses to complete the major.

Career/Employment for Psychology Majors

Psychology is a diverse field with hundreds of career paths. Some specialties, like caring for mentally ill people, are familiar to most of us. Others, like studying how we know and remember things, are less well known.

Across the nation, psychology is the second most popular undergraduate major, even though many of those who choose psychology as a major may not be interested in psychology as a career. About 10 percent of psychology majors pursue graduate training and at CSU-Pueblo there is excellent preparation available for students wishing to apply to graduate programs in psychology as well as in other fields.

For those students who do not wish to become professional psychologists, many jobs are available. Psychology is a valuable major for a Liberal Arts degree. Jobs are found in various sectors of society and psychology graduates are most often employed as interviewers, counselors, mental health workers, human service practitioners, personnel analysts, probation officers, and writers. Employers find that psychology graduates possess strong people skills and psychology majors also value these skills themselves

Psychology majors cite courses in the principles of human behavior as especially important to life after college. Additional insight gained from these courses into what motivates people to perform at their peak helps them, whether they are functioning as parents at home, coaching athletics, or managers on the job.

Training in the scientific method - the need to do thorough, objective research, analyze data logically, and put forth the findings with clarity - stands psychology majors in good stead as they pursue future careers.

SOCIAL WORK DEPARTMENT

Department Chair:	Noel
Faculty:	Baca, Gonzales, Kidd, Reilly-Sandoval

The profession of social work is dedicated to helping individuals, families, groups, neighborhoods and communities meet basic human needs within the context of culture and society. Fundamental to social work practice is the enhancement of social functioning from the person-in-environment perspective. Particular attention is given to populations at risk, the services that have been developed to meet their needs, and societal change to achieve a more humane and just society.

The Department of Social Work has been continuously accredited by the Council on Social work Education (CSWE) since 1982. Students who earn a BSW degree from Colorado State University-Pueblo may be eligible for advanced standing in a social work graduate program. However, requirements for advanced standing varies with each graduate social work program.

Requirements for the Social Work Major

General Education Foundation Courses

General Education

35 credit hours

As a base for professional intervention, social work practice requires mastery of knowledge and skills commonly taught in the liberal arts. Students planning to major in social work should select general education courses that develop proficiency in verbal and written communication, competency in problem solving, and promote critical and analytical thinking. Courses that incorporate human growth and behavior, diversity, and the interaction of individuals, groups, neighborhoods, communities and society, within the context of social, economic, political, and governmental systems, provide a substantive base for majors. Students must complete the University’s general education requirements prior to enrollment in upper division social work courses.

Admission into the Social Work Major

The social work major is a professional program and as such requires two additional admission processes following admission into the University: the first is admission into the social work program and the second is admission into the field practicum. Social work majors must be accepted into the major prior to enrolling in 300 and 400 level social work courses.

Application forms for admission into the major may be obtained from the department secretaries. Completed application forms are to be submitted to the department secretaries no later than October 31st for the upcoming spring semester and no later than March 15th for the upcoming fall semester. Exceptions must be approved by the Social Work Department Chair and the request must be in writing. Forms will them be distributed by the Social Work Department Chair to faculty for review and a decision will be made regarding admission into the major. The Department Chair will notify each student in writing of his/her status (admission into the major, conditional admission into the major or denial of admission into the major).

Reasons for conditional admission into the major will be identified in the letter, as well as corrective actions that need to be taken. When the requirements for admission into the major have been satisfied, the student’s status will be revised from conditional acceptance to admission into the major. If for some reason a student is not admitted to the major, the reasons for this decision will be identified in the letter to the student, along with necessary corrective actions. Reapplication may be made once corrective action has been taken.

Social Work Professional Practice Courses

Students must earn a grade of C or above in all social work professional practice courses. The following upper division social work courses are mandatory for completion of the BSW degree and require approval for acceptance into the major prior to enrollment.

Admission into the Social Work Field Practicum

The Field Practicum

Social work majors also are required to apply for admission into the field practicum. An orientation meeting is scheduled by the Coordinator of Field each November for all students planning to enroll in the field practicum during the following summer session or fall semester. Application forms for admission into the practicum are distributed at this meeting and information on the admission process and placement is provided. Students unable to attend are required to meet with the Field Coordinator to obtain the forms and receive pertinent information to proceed with the practicum placement process. Applications for field practicum are accepted only once a year with exceptions approved by the Field Coordinator.

Completed applications must be returned to the Field Coordinator for review and approval no later than the third week of January. Upon receipt, the application will be reviewed and the student will be notified of his/her acceptance into the field practicum by the Coordinator of Field. Late submission of the application may delay both placement into the practicum and graduation since most field practicum agencies require background checks and drug and alcohol testing. Students need to be aware that a criminal history may affect eligibility for placement based on agency policy not University policy, or the Department of Social Work polices.

The practicum is offered through concurrent and block placements and requires simultaneous enrollment in the field seminar. Field Practicum I (SW 481) and Field Placement I (SW 488) are offered only during the fall semester. Field Practicum II (SW 482) and Field Placement II (SW 489) are offered only during the spring semester. To be eligible for the concurrent practicum, students must have completed all 100 and 200 level courses and Social Work Intervention I (SW 322).

All courses required for the major and degree must be completed to be eligible to enroll in the block practicum, which is offered only during the summer session. Block placements begin on the Monday after graduation and continue until the week before classes resume for the fall semester. Students are enrolled in Field Practicum I (SW 481) and Field Seminar I (SW 481) and Field Placement I (SW 488) during the first half of the summer semester and Field Seminar II (SW 482) and Field Placement II (SW 489) during the second half of the summer term.

The Coordinator of Field is required to make a reasonable effort to assist a student in securing a placement. The social work student, however, not the University, is ultimately responsible for being eligible and retaining a placement under the direction of the Coordinator of Field. Students unable to obtain acceptance into an approved placement after three attempts or to successfully complete a practicum will not be awarded the degree and are advised to change to a major in which they can meet degree requirements.

Students are required to complete a minimum of 448 clock hours of professionally supervised field work in an approved community social service agency. No academic credit is awarded for life experiences in this program.

RETENTION IN THE SOCIAL WORK MAJOR

In accordance with professional standards, students may be denied acceptance or withdrawn from the major or field practicum for either academic or behavioral reasons.

Academic Requirements

Students must attain specific academic standards for admission into the major, continuation in the program, and field practicum for graduation. By University policy, students are required to maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 for graduation. In the social work major, a minimum GPA of 2.5 is required (professional foundation and professional practice courses). All courses designated with a SW prefix and the non-social work foundation courses must be completed with grades no lower than a 2.0.

Behavioral Requirements

Behaviors which may result in non-acceptance into the major, field practicum, or withdrawal from the social work major may include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Serious or repeated violation of the NASW Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice;
   
   
2. Violation of CSU-Pueblo’s academic dishonesty policy or Student Code of Conduct;

SOCIOLOGY/ANTHROPOLOGY/
SOCIAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
(Including Criminology)

Department Chair:	W. Wright
Faculty:	Calhoun-Stuber, Forsyth, Gomme, Green, McGettigan, Wolf

The programs in sociology, anthropology and social science are intended to increase the student’s knowledge of social organization and social relationships, knowledge that can be applied to many career objectives in government and business.

SOCIOLOGY

Sociology is the study of human social behavior and is concerned with conditions such as crime and delinquency, family problems, social inequality, and organizations in contemporary industrial society. Sociologists are interested not only in understanding social issues and institutions, but also in resolving social problems.

As an applied program, the major prepares students to work in a wide variety of occupations, including education, government, business, industry and private human service agencies. They are employed in such areas as health care, youth services, drug rehabilitation, law enforcement, corrections, probation, and counseling. Students may receive a general sociology degree, or they may specialize within the criminology emphasis area and receive a sociology/criminology degree.

The major in sociology leads to the Bachelor of Arts (BA) and the Bachelor of Science (BS). The BS is designed for those pursuing an applied, career-oriented program, while the BA requires a foreign language. Both degrees prepare students for graduate studies and applied careers.

SOCIOLOGY PROGRAM GOALS

• Graduates will be able to compare and contrast the major theoretical perspectives that inform modern sociological analysis.
  
  
• Graduates will be able to apply a range of research methods in conjunction with sociological theory in order to explain and analyze complex social relations and organizations.
  
  
• Graduates will be able to apply social analysis to the substantive social area of their emphasis: criminology or general sociology, and will be able to present findings in a clear, understandable and concise manner.
  
  
• Graduates will be able to engage in critical thinking about the relationship between social and personal experiences.
  
  
• Minors will have an understanding of the significant theories, issues and methodologies of the discipline.
  
  
• Minors will have an understanding of the impact of social processes and institution on personal experiences.

Specific Requirements for the Sociology Minor

Minors in sociology require a minimum of 20 semester hours, of which six hours must be upper division. SOC 101 is required. No grades below C are accepted toward the minor.

Co-Curricular Requirements

Generally there are no co-curricular requirements, although students with an emphasis in criminology are encouraged to complete an internship in a community corrections type agency or program.

Outcome Assessment Activities

• Completion of all required courses.
  
  
• The department believes that grades are one valid indicator of the quality of student work. No grade below C will, therefore, be accepted toward the major or minor.
  
  
• Student achievement will be assessed in the outcome areas on the basis of a standardized national achievement test.
  
  
• For the sociology minor, grades will provide a valid measure of student performance. The department will examine and maintain records of grades of students minoring in sociology as one means of assessment.
  

ANTHROPOLOGY

The anthropology minor provides students with an informed understanding of the cultural diversity evident in human societies and the concepts by which anthropologists explain cultural dynamics. The program emphasizes a holistic awareness of the relationships of all the parts of social and cultural systems. The program prepares students to understand anthropological methods and theories and to apply them to academic as well as to life experiences.

ANTHROPOLOGY PROGRAM GOALS

• Students will be able to deal with intellectual problems and engage in critical thinking in a lucid fashion, reflecting logical inquiry and knowledge of pertinent information.
  
  
• Students will possess knowledge and experience of cultural and sub-cultural groups other than their own.
  
  
• Students will achieve an understanding of a spectrum of anthropological sub-divisions and will be knowledgeable in at least two areas.
  

Specific Requirements for the Anthropology Minor

The minor consists of 21 semester hours of anthropology courses; ANTHR 100 is required, and six hours must be upper division. The rest of the courses may be based upon the student’s interest. No grades below C are accepted toward the minor.
Outcome Assessment Activities

• The assessment of anthropology students’ progress is a continuing process from matriculation to graduation.
  

SOCIAL SCIENCE PROGRAM

The interdisciplinary major in social science leads to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Science (BS).

Social scientists study people and social institutions, especially the relationships and impacts they have with and on each other. Research in the social sciences provides insights that help in understanding the ways in which individuals and groups make decisions, exercise power or respond to change. Social scientists gather and analyze data, interpret it and make it meaningful and useful for application in dealing with human problems.

Employment has traditionally been in the academic area; however, as the economy continually changes from an industrial to a service-oriented system, a greater need for “people-oriented” specialists is developing. Job opportunities in applied fields include areas such as program management and administration, residential counseling, service supervision, human services and sales and related work -- in both the public and private sectors. Related careers are: teaching, social work, corrections/criminology, social and educational administration, law and mass communications.

Program Goals

• Prepare students to function as knowledgeable and responsible individual citizens in society;
  
  
• Prepare students for leadership roles within the broader society;
  
  
• Instill in students a broad understanding of the major disciplinary approaches to the study of social life, including economics, history, sociology, geography, and political science;
  
  
• Prepare students for participation in modern social institutions, as well as for the coming changes and conflicts within those institutions;
  
  
• Instill in students an awareness of and appreciation for the cultural and ethnic diversity of modern society.
  

Expected Student Outcomes

General Requirements

• No grade below C is acceptable in the major or minor.

Speech Communication courses are now housed in the Department of English and Foreign Languages. For information, contact the chair of that department.

WOMEN’S STUDIES

A women’s studies minor offers you a different perspective on things you think you know. Analysis of gender issues for men and women helps you understand your major discipline in different ways. This analysis inherently incorporates issues of race, ethnicity, class, and other variables as well.

The women’s studies minor is designed to acquaint students with current scholarship on women, scholarship that crosses many disciplines. The minor is interdisciplinary and multicultural, and courses incorporate classroom and experiential learning. Students are asked to examine relevant questions and issues from a range of perspectives, enhancing their analytical and critical thinking skills in the process.

Most Women’s Studies courses are cross-listed, meaning that the courses can be found in the course listings of both the Women’s Studies program and one or more other departments. This is indicated above, for example, as “WS/PSYCH 212, Sexism and Racism in America,” indicating that the course is listed as both a Women’s Studies course and a Psychology course. The courses can be taken by enrolling in either a Women’s Studies call number or in another department’s call number. To encourage breadth, students are required to choose electives in different cross-listed disciplines, with no more than two of their electives being cross-listed in the same department (for example, Psychology). Grades below a C- will not be accepted in classes counting toward the minor. For advising, students should contact any Women’s Studies instructor, or the Women’s Studies Coordinator, or any member of the Women’s Studies Coordinating Committee, by calling 549-2143.
