Overview
The Bachelor of Arts degree consists of ★120 arts and science, including at least ★55 arts (see Classification of Courses ). The ★120 in the program are made up of the Foundation and Knowledge components of the Augustana Core, a major subject, an optional minor, and options, as follows:
The Augustana Core: Foundation ★18
The Augustana Foundation requirement is met by the completion of the following courses:
The Augustana Core: Knowledge ★21
The ★21 Breadth of Knowledge requirements consist of three different categories:
★9 Fine Arts and Humanities (students must complete at least ★3 in each area)
★6 Science
★6 Social sciences
For the actual classification of Augustana courses within these categories, see Classification of Courses .
Note: The same credit may not be counted twice in courses that relate to more than one category within the Foundation and Knowledge components of the Augustana Core; that is, a total of 39 different credits must be earned to fulfill these requirements.
Major subject:
★42-69 in one discipline or approved interdisciplinary area (with the minimum number of credits specified by the discipline or approved interdisciplinary area), including no more than ★12 at the junior level (except when required in a discipline with a performance component or in an interdisciplinary program that requires junior courses from several different disciplines) and including a minimum of ★9 at the 300- and 400-level, of which at least ★3 must be at the 400-level. Normally no more than ★60 in one discipline will be credited towards the degree. In some cases, a major may also require courses in one or more disciplines outside the major; these may be prerequisites for specific courses in the major and/or courses supporting the major in a more general way (up to a maximum of ★24).
Note: A student should be aware that it may not be possible to complete certain combinations of majors, or combinations of majors and minors, without extending the time required to earn the degree.
Optional minor:
A minimum of ★18 in one discipline or approved interdisciplinary area, including at least ★12 at the senior level.
Options:
★0-36 (or more, depending on the amount of overlap between the core and the requirements for the major, and/or minor) of the student’s choice (see General Regulations Governing Course Selections ). A student may choose to use options to work toward a minor, or second major but should be aware that a double major normally requires more than ★120 in the degree program.
Residence Requirements
Students registered in a BA program must complete at least ★60 offered by the Augustana Faculty, at least ★54 of which must be at the senior level. However, language or other study abroad may, with special permission of the Associate Dean, Academic, count toward the residence requirement. Note: Students transferring into this degree program within the framework of a Faculty-approved transfer agreement must complete ★60 of the final credits of their degree program with credits offered by the Augustana Faculty.
