LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES MAJORS

By pursuing a broad yet in-depth course of study, Latin American Studies majors are well equipped to enter many fields and occupations as teachers in the United States or Latin America, as business people sensitized to Latin American history and culture, or as journalists or government employees where contact with Latin America or Latin Americans in the United States is important. Those subsequently receiving professional degrees (e.g., in law or medicine) also could benefit from the background provided by the Latin American Studies major.

The spectrum of courses within the multidisciplinary curriculum of Latin American Studies provides students with the knowledge and skills to meet the academic goals of the university while preparing them to become engaged in activities relevant to Latin America and Latino communities in the United States. Majors develop language proficiency in Spanish and have a broad range of courses from which to choose in art history, economics, foreign languages, history, and political science. The major is well suited for students who plan to:

(1) pursue careers which require residence in or knowledge of Latin America (e.g., business, journalism, government, NGOs, travel industry);

(2) teach Spanish in Early Childhood through Adolescence classrooms; and/or

(3) pursue graduate work in Latin American studies or other disciplines where a Latin American specialization would be helpful (e.g., Hispanic literature, political science, economics, history, art history).

MAJOR: WOMEN'S STUDIES, Liberal Arts (Code 486-201)

The Women's Studies program coordinates teaching, research, and scholarship in the field of Women's Studies. This is a unique academic program that incorporates praxis-practice that is informed by theory and gendered analyses. Women's Studies is a site of social change/activism as much as theory. It is a discipline in its own right that also draws from many other fields of study.

The unique defining objective in a Women's Studies major is that it focuses on students' ability to perform a thorough Gendered Analysis. A Gendered Analysis-which focuses on the intersection of complexities such as sex/gender, ethnicity, social class, sexual identity, ability, religion, and age-is the umbrella under which all specific goals for majors occur. The objectives can be described by two key components, Knowledge (which includes history and theory) and Application (which includes articulation, activism, and ethics).

Women's Studies majors will become informed, thoughtful, empowered agents of change. In addition, they will be well prepared to pursue graduate work in Women's Studies and other fields. Most Women's Studies graduates pursue careers in health, social and human services, education, law, government, and public policy.

The major consists of 36 semester credits, including:

Required courses:

Wmns 250 Women's Studies Research Techniques (1-3 crs)

COMPREHENSIVE MAJOR: SOCIAL STUDIES, Broadfield Teaching

The comprehensive major in Broadfield Social Studies prepares education students to teach fusion social studies courses and subject-specific social studies courses in their area or areas of concentration.

This major is restricted to students in the College of Education and Human Sciences: Curriculum and Instruction: Option B and leads to licensure to teach fusion social studies courses and also courses in discrete subjects in which 24 credits are completed in Early Adolescence through Adolescence classrooms.

After admission to the Education Professional Program, all Broadfield Social Studies majors must pass the Praxis II Social Studies examination (Exam #10081). This examination is prepared by the Educational Testing Service and tests content from all social studies subject areas. Praxis II examinations may be taken on campus at the Office of Academic Testing (Schofield 226).

Students will choose one of two emphases available within the Broadfield Social Studies major.

A. Single-concentration Emphasis: The Broadfield Social Studies major with the single-concentration emphasis leads to certification to teach fusion social studies courses and courses in the area of concentration.

Sixty semester credits, including:

1. A 36-credit concentration in one of the following disciplines: Economics (Code 500-018), Geography (Code 500-019), History (Code 500-020), Political Science (Code 500-021), Sociology (Code 500-022). Courses taken to fulfill this requirement must be those specified as constituting a teaching major in the appropriate department.

2. Pols 110 and 301; Econ 103 and 104, or 201 (if not included
in [1]).

3. Remaining credits to total 60 in the major. The 60 credits will be from at least four subject areas. The remaining credits will be chosen from among Econ 321; Geog 111, 150, 151, 325, and 379; Hist 124, 125, 201, 202, and either 210 or Hist/AIS 240; Pols 122, 260, and 305; Soc 101, 142, 164, and 312; Soc/Wmns 202; Crmj/Soc 103 (if not included in [1]),

NOTE: In addition to the 60-credit major, students must complete Geog 178 or Biol 180 (in GE-II) and Psyc 261 (in GE-III).

Students with a single-concentration emphasis will receive certification in broadfield social studies and one area of concentration.

Students who also choose to include in their program a certifiable minor in a subject outside of social studies (in addition to the Broadfield Social Studies major) will take the appropriate Praxis II examination in that subject as well as the social studies examination.

For advising, see an adviser in the area of concentration: Professors D. Benesh (SSS-475) Economics, T. Bawden (P-251) Geography, R. Gough (HHH-716) History, R. Freitag (SSS-200E) Political Science, or J. Hein (SSS-433) Sociology.

As an alternative to the Broadfield Social Studies major, students may select a teaching major in Economics, Geography, History, Political Science, or Sociology (36 credits), in conjunction with a certifiable minor (24 credits). This program leads to certification to teach courses in the major and minor subjects, but not fusion social studies courses. These students must take the Praxis II social studies exam and also, if their minor is outside of social studies, the Praxis II exam in the content area of the minor.

B. Dual-concentration Emphasis: The Broadfield Social Studies major with the dual-concentration emphasis leads to certification to teach fusion social studies courses, history courses, and courses in the second area of concentration.

Sixty semester credits, including:

1. History concentration: Hist 124, 125, 201, and 288, and either Hist/Wmns 205, Hist 210 or Hist/AIS 240 (14 credits); at least ten additional credits in History at the 300 or 400 level, with one course from United States history, one course from European history, and one course from World History. (See History Department section for course listings.)

2. A 24-credit concentration in one of the following disciplines: Economics (500-023), Geography (500-024), Political Science (500-025), or Sociology (500-026). Courses taken to fulfill this requirement must be those specified as constituting a teaching minor in the appropriate department.

3. Pols 110; Econ 103 and 104, or 201 (if not included in [2]).

4. Remaining credits to total 60 in the major. The 60 credits will be from at least four subject areas. Additional credits will be from among Econ 321; Geog 111, 150, 151, 325, and 379; Pols 122, 260, 301, 305; Soc 101, 142, 164, and 312; Soc/Wmns 202; and Crmj/Soc 103 (if not included in [2]).

NOTE 1: In addition to the 60-credit major, students must complete Geog 178 or Biol 180 (in GE-II) and Psyc 261 (in GE-III).

NOTE 2: In category 4, students with a Geography concentration will choose only from among Econ 321; Pols 301, Pols 305; or Soc 312.

NOTE 3: Students who do not select Pols 301 in categories 2 or 4 above will take Pols 203 as an additional requirement.

Students who complete the dual-concentration emphasis will receive broadfield social studies, history, and discrete subject certification in the social studies subject in which they complete 24 credits.

Students who also choose to include in their program a certifiable minor in a subject outside of the social studies (in addition to the Broadfield Social Studies major) will take the appropriate Praxis II examination in that subject as well as the social studies examination.

For initial advising, see Professor R. Gough (HHH-716) History. Students will then be assigned two advisers, one in the Department of History and one in the other subject in which they elect to complete 24 credits.

As an alternative to the broadfield social studies major, students may select a teaching major in Economics, Geography, History, Political Science, or Sociology (36 credits), in conjunction with a certifiable minor (24 credits). This program leads to certification to teach courses in the major and minor subjects, but not fusion social studies courses. These students must take the Praxis II social studies exam and also, if the minor is outside of social studies, the Praxis II content exam in the minor.

Minors


MINOR: ANCIENT STUDIES, Liberal Arts (Code 310-401)

The minor in Ancient Studies touches upon almost every field of human inquiry: language, literature, history, politics, religion, medicine, and science, to note only a few of the broader disciplines. Students taking courses to fulfill this minor will pursue the following specific goals: (1) to enhance their appreciation and understanding of ancient languages, cultures, and their own heritage; (2) to develop students' critical thinking abilities via language acquisition (study of grammar, translation, and interpretation), text analysis, historical perspective, and study of the influence of ancient civilizations upon subsequent periods; (3) to pursue an option within the undergraduate experience which allows one to explore in a systematic way the fundamental building blocks and materials of a liberal education and, thereby, highlight UW-Eau Claire's goals as a liberal arts institution; (4) to develop an interdisciplinary approach to these fields of study and to discover, by study of their origins, an apprehension of the underlying reasons and methods of discourse and institutions of the western world; (5) to see ourselves in perspective, to become more enlightened citizens, and to think more deeply about the human condition and important issues in our lives-based on the bedrock of the earliest approaches, which impacted all subsequent ones, to such questions.

The minor consists of 24 credits of core and elective coursework, including foreign language competency at the 102 level.

Core Requirements: Eight credits of the 101-102 sequence of Latin (Lat) or Classical Greek (Grk); either also fulfills the foreign language requirement.

MINOR: ENVIRONMENT, SOCIETY, AND CULTURE, Liberal Arts (Code 489-401)

Contemplation of the environment raises many questions, some of them clearly scientific in nature: "What chemical is polluting the river? What are that chemical's toxicological properties, and how will they affect the ecosystem?" Some of the questions raised transcend the purely scientific perspective: "Who is dumping that chemical in the river? Why did they make that choice-was profit involved? Mere carelessness?" Or "Do any societal needs drive demands for this chemical? Can those needs be met in alternative ways?" And "Who lives by the river, what socio-economic conditions brought them there and how are they affected by this chemical's presence?" Or again-"What laws pertain to the river? To whom does the river 'belong'?" Such questions, equally important and as intellectually challenging as the purely scientific inquiries, in fact provide a larger context for the science. To ask this full range of questions is to think ecologically-that is, with an awareness of the entire mechanism-about environmental issues.

The Environment, Society, and Culture minor is designed to enable students to probe the human dimensions of environmental issues through a variety of courses crossing many disciplines. Built around a core science requirement, the program is rounded out with courses in ethics, philosophy/religion, economics-courses that look at social conflict and the policy that engenders and addresses conflict. This minor is open to all students; while perhaps best suited to students majoring in the humanities and social sciences, it is designed to be flexible so that students can tailor it to meet their particular needs and interests.

This minor requires a minimum of 24 credits, of which at least 12 credits must be from courses numbered 300 and higher.

i) At least one of the following core courses: Biol 180, Geog 178, or Enph 210

ii) At least one course from each of the following categories:

  • Ethical and Spiritual Perspectives: Rels 290 or Phil 320
  • Economic and Social Perspectives: Econ 268 or Soc 310
  • Policy: Geog 378, Geog 375, or Pols 346

iii) Natural Science Focus: A two-course sequence in a natural science chosen from the following options:

  • Biol 110 and 328
  • Chem 115* and 304

(Note: *Chem 103 and 104 may be used in lieu of Chem 115 but only six credits may be counted toward the minor from these courses.)

  • Geol 115, and 301 or 308
  • Geog 104, and 360 or 361

iv) Additional courses selected from those listed above or from the options below to reach a total of 24 credits.

Biol 190, 194, 329; Engl 415; Enph 441, 445, 480; Geog 270, 340, 345, 350, 363, 364, 365, 368, Geog/AIS 322; Geol 130 and 131; Math 108; PHP 450; Soc 314

NOTE: When particular offerings or sections of courses focus on environmental issues, these credits may be applied as electives in the minor, pending adviser and college approval. Examples of courses which may address environmental issues include Chem 100, Chem 191, Engl 110, Hnrs courses, Wmns 433 (when offered as Eco-Feminism), and-from various departments-special topics courses, directed studies courses, independent study courses, and internships.

MINOR: TEACHING ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE, Liberal Arts (Code 550-406)

Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) is the instruction of English to speakers of other languages (e.g., Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, or Spanish, etc.) while the instructor is living outside of the United States . EFL instructors can work for private language schools, public and private elementary, middle, or high schools, and universities abroad. English is the language of instruction, but it does help if the teacher knows something of the language of that culture. Individuals who obtain either a TEFL minor (24 credits) or TEFL certificate (14 credits) may go abroad with the Peace Corps, on a Fulbright Exchange, or on their own teaching adventure.

The TEFL Minor Program is in the College of Arts and Sciences in the Department of Foreign Languages. It serves students with majors outside the College of Education and Human Sciences and those who are not seeking State of Wisconsin initial certification. Majors fields are quite far-ranging because of the demand for specialized knowledge in the field of TEFL, such as History, Business, Biology, Anthropology, Geology, Nursing, Religious Studies.

The TEFL Minor Program differs from the Teaching of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Minor in five ways. First, the TESOL Minor and the TEFL Minor have differing methods and practicum courses. Second, the TEFL Minor allows for elective credits to prepare the individual for instruction in a specific country and in English for Specific Purposes (ESP), while the TESOL Minor has specific State requirements that prescribe only certain courses. Third, the TESOL Minor will continue to offer the State of Wisconsin add-on license in TESOL; whereas the TEFL Minor will not prepare students for ESL instruction in the United States . Fourth, the TEFL Minor would serve diverse majors, and does not require admission to the College of Education and Human Sciences. Finally, these minors would have slightly different numbers of credits (TESOL 25/TEFL 24).

Twenty-four semester credits, including:

Required courses (minimum of 20 credits):

CSD 262 Phonetics: Theory and Application

Engl 125 English Grammar and Usage or
Engl 221 The English Language

Psyc 378 The Psychology of Language

Anth 315 Language in Culture and Society or
Anth 351 Cross-Cultural Dynamics or
CJ 301 Intercultural Communications

Flg 378 Second Language Acquisition

CI 409 TEFL Methods

Flg 400 Assessment of English Language Learners

CI 493 International Experience in Education or
Flg 375 Internship Experience

Elective Courses - minimum of four credits, unless CI 493 is taken for more than one credit or Flg 375 is taken for three or more credits. The electives listed below are some of the choices available to TEFL Minors, however, students will be allowed to choose elective courses which will benefit them in their future TEFL instruction. (See TEFL adviser for other acceptable electives.)

Engl 201 Advanced College Writing

Psyc 260 Educational Psychology

Bcom 206 Business Writing

CJ 202 Fundamentals of Speech

Edmt 285 Computers in Education: Introduction

Pols 260 Introduction to Comparative Politics

Pols 265 Problems of Developing Nations

For advising, see Professor K. M. Reynolds (HHH-374) Foreign Languages.

CERTIFICATE PROGRAM

Even though the TEFL Certificate and Minor are highly similar, the Teaching English as a Foreign Language Certificate program has a minimum of 14 credits, which would mirror the TEFL Minor (24 credits) in a reduced manner. It is offered as an option for those who do not have the time to complete the TEFL Minor within their existing programs, or for non-traditional students returning to campus for this program only, so that they may be prepared for an overseas transfer, for example. Individuals debating between the Certificate and the Minor should consider the depth of learning and the time commitment, if a minor is necessary for the program of study selected, and other life choices, e.g., whether it is for one's career, or to allow a short duration of work in another country.

Required courses (minimum of 14 credits):

CSD 262 Phonetics: Theory and Practice

Engl 125 English Grammar and Usage or
Engl 221 The English Language

Flg 378 Second Language Acquisition

CI 409 TEFL Methods

Flg 400 Assessment of English Language Learners

CI 493 International Experience in Education or
Flg 375 Internship Experience

For advising, or to record completion of the certificate, see Professor K. M. Reynolds (HHH-374) Foreign Languages.

MINOR: TEACHING OF ENGLISH TO SPEAKERS OF OTHER LANGUAGES

This minor is restricted to students in the College of Education and Human Sciences: Curriculum and Instruction: Option C and leads to licensure in TESOL in Early Childhood through Adolescence classrooms when combined with a major in another foreign language at the EC-A level.

NOTE 1: As a requirement for the TESOL Minor, all students must pass Engl 110 with a grade of C or above. Oral proficiency in English will be determined by an interview and/or a SPEAK Test, a test of oral proficiency for non-native speakers of English. Students not passing the oral proficiency test will be required, before retesting, to take CJ 202, Engl 140, and/or an English composition class. The student will select classes in consultation with the TESOL adviser.

NOTE 2: One year of university-level foreign language study is a prerequisite for CI 405.

For advising, see Professor K. M. Reynolds (HHH-374) Foreign Languages.

MINOR: TOPICAL MINOR, Liberal Arts (Code 610-401)

A Topical Minor is composed of 24 semester credits selected by the student to meet the student's own interests and scholarly objectives. Courses for the minor may be chosen on the basis of a coherent theme, a historical period, a definable professional need, or complementary relation to the student's major.

The Topical Minor is not intended to be used to duplicate any major or minor offered as a regular program within the UW System.

The Topical Minor must include courses from at least two departments, with no more than 15 credits from any one department and no more than six credits from the department of the student's major. Courses applied to the major cannot be applied to the minor. At least 12 of the 24 credits must be earned in courses numbered 300 or above, and at least 15 of the 24 credits must be earned in Arts and Sciences courses.

Procedures. The student must first obtain a Topical Minor form from the College office (Schofield 134), plan the minor in consultation with an appropriate faculty adviser, and obtain the adviser's approval. The plan for the minor must then be submitted to the Associate Dean. The Associate Dean's approval must be obtained after the student has earned a total of 60 credits, but before the student has earned 88 credits toward a degree.

Students proposing a Topical Minor are responsible to ascertain that they are eligible to register for the courses included in their Topical Minor. They must meet, for example, all individual course prerequisites and GPA requirements or have received explicit permission from the department offering the course. In addition, for courses offered in one of the professional colleges, college admission requirements will likely have to be met or written permission obtained from the Dean of that College before enrollment will be possible.
