UCC Decision: APPROVED Notes: 22. THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL WORK requests: Presenter: P. Saulsberry Action: CHANGE catalog content on page 97, 98 Current Content:

DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL WORK Saulsberry, M.Cappel, Sharma The Social Work curriculum involves two components, pre-social work and social work. Pre-social work includes approximately one academic year in an accredited college or university. As pre-social work majors, students must successfully complete the following courses: English Composition (6 hours), Sociology 101 or Psychology 201 (3 hours), Math 111 (3 hours), and Social Work 101, 102, can apply while enrolled in SOCW 205. The Social Work major consists of approximately 4 academic semesters after admission to the Social Work Program. It is concerned with courses providing a broad liberal arts base and with social work courses emphasizing the knowledge, values, and skills needed to prepare students for beginning generalist social work practice. ADMISSION TO THE SOCIAL WORK MAJOR The Social Work major offers a liberal arts base, including sociology, psychology, biology, and required social work courses in the area of human behavior and the social environment, social welfare policy and services, social research, social work practice, and field practicum. Course work requires volunteer work (30 hours per semester for two courses) and a practicum (32 hours per week for one semester). The Social Work Program has been accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) since 1977. Applicants for admission to the Social Work major, in addition to meeting the requirements for admission to the University, and be enrolled as a pre-social work major at the time of application, must fulfill the requirements of the pre-social work major curriculum:

a. A grade of “C” or above in the following courses: English 101 and 102, Sociology 101 or Psychology 201, Math 111, Social Work 101, 102, and 205

(may be enrolled in 205). b. A minimum average of 2.3 in all courses required for the degree. Application

forms for admission to the Social Work major may be obtained by downloading them from the ULM website/Social Work http://www.ulm.edu/socialwork.

Completed application forms are to be submitted to the Admissions Committee chairperson during the first four weeks of the Fall and Spring semesters. The Admissions Committee will review applications, interview applicants, and make a decision on the status of the applicants. The head of the Social Work Department will notify the students in writing of the Committee’s decision. If for some reason a student is not admitted to the Social Work major, reapplication may be made the next semester. Those not admitted into the major will not be allowed to enroll in Interviewing and the Helping Relationship (SOCW 301), Practice I (SOCW 315), Practice II (SOCW 416), Field Education in Social Work (SOCW 421), or Field Education Seminar (SOCW 422). Social Work majors are also required to apply for admission into the field practicum. An application for the practicum must be made to the Coordinator of Field Education during the first month of the Fall or Spring semesters prior to a student’s enrollment in Field Education in Social Work. Forms may be obtained by downloading them from the ULM website/Social Work http://www.ulm.edu/socialwork. To be eligible for the practicum, students must have completed all 100-and 200-level courses, earned a grade of “C” or higher in all courses required for a major, and earned a GPA of 2.3 in all courses required for the degree. A student must observe all prerequisites in the sequential pursuance of courses leading to a baccalaureate degree in social work. Generally, enrollment in the practicum occurs during the semester prior to a student’s graduation. The Coordinator of Field Education is required to make a reasonable effort to assist a student in securing a placement. The Social Work major, however, not the University, is ultimately responsible for obtaining and retaining a placement under the direction of the Coordinator of Field Education. Students unable to obtain an acceptable placement or to complete a practicum successfully will not be awarded the degree and are advised to change to a curriculum in which they can meet degree requirements.

UCC Decision: APPROVED Notes: 87. THE DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY requests: Presenter: S. Krishnamurthy Action: CHANGE GRADUATE CATALOG content on page 54 Current Content:

Applicants who fail to meet the above standard may be admitted on conditional status as recommended by the Biology Committee on Graduate Studies to the department head in concert with the Dean of the Graduate School.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS. Undergraduate requirements: B.S. or B.A. in a

biological sciences discipline or a bachelor's degree with sufficient science background; selected undergraduate biology classes may be identified as deficiencies by the student's graduate advisory committee.

Requirements for a major: 33semester hours of biology and related courses, including 6 semester hours of Biology 599.

Proposed Content:

Applicants who fail to meet the above standard may be admitted on conditional status as recommended by the Biology Committee on Graduate Studies to the department head in concert with the Dean of the Graduate School.

Upon recommendation of the Biology Committee on Graduate Studies, applicants may enroll in a Non-Thesis Option in the Master of Science Biology degree program.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS. Undergraduate requirements: B.S. or B.A. in a biological sciences discipline or a bachelor's degree with sufficient science background; selected undergraduate biology classes may be identified as deficiencies by the student's graduate advisory committee.

Requirements for a major: A candidate for the Master of Science degree pursuing the Thesis Option must complete a minimum of 33 semester hours of biology and related courses, including 6 semester hours of Biology 599. No more than 3 credit hours of Biology 591 can count toward the degree.

A candidate for the Master of Science degree pursuing the Non-Thesis Option must complete a minimum of 33 semester hours of biology and related courses. Biology 599 credit hours are not applicable to the degree plan of Non-Thesis candidates. No more that 3 credit hours of Biology 591 can count toward the degree and no more than 6 credit hours of coursework from outside the Biology curriculum will be accepted toward the Non-Thesis degree. Transfer Rule: A graduate student may only transfer 9 semester hours from a Thesis Master of Science degree to the Non-Thesis option.
