Refer espe- cially to the Majors and Minors in the College section for program variations and other clari- fying information. At the time this catalog went to press, sev- eral changes were pending in the universal tracking plans for majors and for course level (1000, 2000, etc.) for courses in the State University System. Students should consult the relevant department or 100 AAC for up-to-date course information. THE MAJOR: The interdisciplinary B.A. in film and media studies enables students to pur- sue a liberal arts approach to audio-visual stud- ies. The courses offered provide a range of train- ing from professional and applied (in anthro- pology, architecture, education, and theatre) to historical and experimental (in art, English, German and Slavic, and romance languages). The film and media studies major encourages students to integrate these offerings by working in both theory and production. Application to the major must be approved by the Interdisci- plinary Studies Committee. For the senior the- sis, a student may choose among the following options: an essay, a film script, a short film or video, or work in a related medium. The major requires a minimum of 27 hours, 20 hours from the courses listed below and seven from senior independent work (IDS 4906). Majors should take ENG 3115 (Introduction to Film: Criticism and Theory) since it serves as the prerequisite for ENG 4201 (Film and Video Production). The student and sponsors together select courses for the CLAS elective requirement that complement the major. Since many of the courses "in the Departments of Art, English and Theatre have prerequisites, students should plan their fresh- men and sophomore work with the major in mind. Under certain circumstances, instructors will waive some prerequisites for IDS majors, but with space at a premium (especially in stu- dio and production classes), students should not count on avoiding stated requirements. Students may, however, use up to nine hours of 2000-level prerequisites as electives. Early preparation for the major would ide- ally include ENG 2300 (Film Analysis). Other useful courses are GET 2950 (Early German Cinema), TPP 2100 and 2110 (Acting 1 and 2), ARH 2051 (Introduction to the Principles and History of Art 2), ART 1802C and 1803C (Workshop for Art Research and Practice), and ART 2686C (Video: Continuity in Time). The major is selective, requiring (1) a 3.0 min- imum GPA, (2) two sponsors, chosen from fac- ulty members in the program, and (3) approval of the Interdisciplinary Studies Committee. Students can pick up the application form and information from 2014 Turlington. HONORS: The B.A. in film and media studies is an honors program. Students graduat- ing with a junior/senior level 3.5 GPA qualify for honors. Senior independent work earning an A qualifies the student with a 3.5 GPA for high or highest honors. GENERAL EDUCATION: Many of the courses included in the film and media studies major satisfy general education requirements. Students should check with the individual departments offering the courses in question. Geography Read the earlier sections describing general education and CLAS requirements. Refer espe- cially to the Majors and Minors in the College section for program variations and other clari- fying information. At the time this catalog went to press, sev- eral changes were pending in the universal tracking plans for majors and for course level (1000, 2000, etc.) for certain courses in the State University System. Students should consult the relevant department or 100 AAC for up-to-date course information. THE MAJOR: A degree in geography pro- vides you with a number of skills in high demand in today's job market. Techniques such as cartography (map-making), air photo inter- pretaton, data base handling, geographic infor- mation systems (GIS) and computer-based car- tography are used intensively in map produc- tion, regional planning and environmental assessment. These skills and the geographic per- spective also open doors to employment in gov- ernment agencies and private firms that deal with urban and regional planning, water man- agement, environmental and market anlaysis, foreign service and education. In addition to satisfying college require- ments and general university requirements for graduation, geography majors are required to follow one of the following courses of study. Majors should take STA 3023 or 2122 to fulfill part of the gen. ed. math requirement. Bachelor of Arts: GEO 2200, GEO 2200L, GEO 2410 (or GEO 2420 or GEO 2500), GEO 3162, GEO 4100 or GEO 3171, GEO 4124 (or GEO 4201 or GEO 5105 or GEO 5145 or GEO 4167 or GEO 5945), GEO 4930. Four courses from the following: GEO 2201, GEO 2610, GEO 3250, GEO 3280, GEO 3315, GEO 3370, GEO 3430, GEO 3471, GEO 3490, GEO 3502, GEO 3530, GEO 3602, GEO 4167, GEO 4201, GEO 4221, GEO 4281, GEO 4285, GEO 4416, GEO 4431, GEO 4554, GEO 4620, GEO 4970, GEO 5105, GEO 5145, GEO 5346, GEO 5556, GEO 5567, GEO 5616, GEO 5704, GEO 5809, GEO 5945. Select one regional course. Bachelor of Science: GEO 3162, GEO 4100 or GEO 3171, GEO 4124 (or GEO 5105, or GEO 5145 or GEO 4167 or GEO 5945), GEO 4930, MET 1010, GLY 2010, SOS 3022. One of the following: GEO 2410, GEO 2420, or GEO 2500. Three of the following: GEO 3280, GEO 3315, GEO 3370, GEO 3530, GEO 4167, GEO 4285, GEO 4970, GEO 5105, GEO 5145, GEO 5346, GEO 5809, GEO 5945. Select one regional geography course. HONORS: For graduation with honors, a student must attain a 3.5 overall junior/senior level average. For graduation with high honors or highest honors, the student must fulfill an overall 3.5 average and, in addition, submit a thesis no later than the second week before graduation. A grade of A must also be obtained on GEO 4970 (Honors thesis). The student shall, in consultation with the undergraduate coordinator and adviser, select three members of the faculty to serve as a com- mittee to evaluate the honors thesis. Normally, these faculty will serve as advisers in the prepa- ration of the thesis as well. THE MINOR: As a minor, geography offers useful complements to students of human sci- ences, international studies, agricultural sci- ences, and, in general, to careers that require international understanding and knowledge of local and regional conditions. A total of at least 15 credits is required. No more than six credits of this total may be by transfer. All college requirements relating to the minor must be met. A. One of the following: GEO 2200, GEO 2201. B. One of the following: GEO 1010, GEO 2410, GEO 2420, GEO 2500. C. Three GEA or GEO courses at the 3000 or higher level. Each course must be of at least three credits. None may be an individual work course.
