Class Schedule Changes Please note the following updates to the Fall 2008 Schedule: Add ENVI 340 Environmental Law TR 12:30 PHYS 105L Lab: Physics & Everyday Thinking W 6:30-9:15 Change in Time ENGL 214 Change from TR 9:30 to TR 11:00 ENGL 314 Change from TR 11:00 to TR 9:30 PHYS 451 Change from MWF 10:00 am to MWF 9:00 am Requirements Core Capstone Requirement (effective Fall 2006) Fall 2006 entering students will need CCAP300, Capstone Seminar: Various topics (3 credits). Language Arts (effective Fall 2006) (Language Arts Requirement: Competency at the 102 level) Fall 2006 entering students who have passed, with at least a "C" average, the equivalent of a fourth year level of a foreign/modern language are waived from MCLA's Language Arts requirement. Entering students who have not met the fourth year level of the same foreign/modern language, will take a Modern Language placement test and be placed accordingly. Alternatively, students could elect to begin study of a new language at the first-semester elementary level (101) and subsequently complete the second semester elementary level (102) course in the same language. FREN, ITAL, SPAN Core Repeat Policy (effective Fall 2005) All Tier II courses must be repeated by the same course. All courses that are repeated must have a Repeat Course Request and Approval Form filed with the Registrar's Office. An academic department and/or the core curriculum coordinator (in consultation with the domain leaders), may designate a course as an appropriate repeat course. For students who are seeking to repeat CCCA100, CCHH100, CCSS100, and CCST100, the Curriculum and All College Committees and the Dean of Academic Studies have recommended the following: - Students who need to repeat CCCA100, CCHH100, or CCSS100 should choose a 100-level course that is offered within that domain as a repeat course. Students who need to repeat CCST100 should choose a 100-level THREE CREDIT course within the science and technology domain as a repeat course.
(This core repeat policy is consistent with the college's policy on repeating courses in general. The concept of an "appropriate repeat course" is intended for situations where a course is offered too infrequently to be repeated in a timely fashion or a course has been deleted from the college's inventory of courses.) Dual Major in Education (effective Fall 2005) Beginning with students entering in the fall of 2005, students pursuing teacher licensure will also declare a double major with Education as their second major. Completion of the requirements for the Education major will involve one of the following options: Option #1 Completion of Licensure Requirements "plus": - ECHE completion of licensure requirements fulfills EDUC major requirements
- ELEM completion of licensure requirements plus two additional courses (in Education or approved by the education Department) fulfills EDUC major requirements
- MDSC completion of licensure requirements plus three additional courses (in Education or approved by the education Department) fulfills EDUC major requirements
- SCED completion of licensure requirements plus three additional courses (in Education or approved by the education Department) fulfills EDUC major requirements
Option #2 Noncompletion of Licensure Requirements: - In rare cases where a student does not complete the Phase III Professional Semester, the student has the option of completing an Education major by completing 12 credits of Education or other courses approved by the Education Department.
N.B. Consistent with current Massachusetts Department of Education (DOE) requirements, a student seeking teacher licensure must complete a primary major in the arts or sciences. Per DOE regulations, students may not be awarded an EDUC major without also completing a major in the arts or sciences. Physical Education Requirement for Graduation (effective Fall 2005) A graduation requirement of 2 credits of Physical Education will be required beginning with students entering in the fall of 2005. For each season a student participates in a varsity sport, a one-credit waiver will be granted (2 credit maximum). Course Descriptions
