MAJORS AND MINORS
| 2005 - 2006 College of the Ozarks Catalog |
|
A major represents an area of concentration (8 to 12 courses) in one academic
discipline. Some majors at College of the Ozarks also require a minor which
is a smaller area of concentration (6 to 7 courses). Every Bachelor degree candidate
must complete a major. Students may also declare a minor or a second major.
Students are expected to complete their program of study within 8 semesters
up to a maximum of 10 semesters with approval by the Dean of the College. Consideration
of the hours a transfer student has completed at the previous institution is
made in determining the number of semesters the student may continue at C of
O.
A major may require up to 16 courses
(3-5 credit hours per course), no more than 12 of which may be in a single
discipline. A minor may require no more than 7 courses. Programs with 16 required
courses are typically interdisciplinary with significant content from two
or more disciplines. Because of state department of education or professional
association requirements, the following programs may exceed the above guidelines:
Unified Science, Elementary Education, Secondary Education and Dietetics.
Students must have a declared major on record in the office of the Dean
of the College no later than the first semester of their junior year. Students
may change their major or minor by completing the necessary form available in
the office of the Dean of the College. After completion of the student’s graduation
check approval of the Dean of the College or Registrar is necessary.
