    BACHELOR'S DEGREE PROGRAM
    This interdisciplinary program, leading to the B.A. degree, is for students desiring broad exposure to the social sciences. A normal program includes 30-36 sh of social science coursework. Several areas of emphases are available. Coursework for these specializations is drawn from anthropology, economics, geography, history, political science, psychology, social work, and sociology.

    PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
    In addition to general University requirements and General Studies requirements found in the 1996-97 Catalog, students seeking the B.A. in Interdisciplinary Social Sciences must meet the requirements listed below.

    Candidates for admission to UWF's NCATE/DOE approved teacher education programs must meet admission requirements detailed under Admission to Teacher Education. In addition to the program requirements noted below, teacher education students must also complete requirements specified under Teacher Education.

    A pre-civil service specialization prepares students for civil service employment. A pre-law specialization prepares students for law school. Both specializations emphasize political science. Psychology is the primary discipline for this specialization designed for those planning to enter a formal ministerial program or to become otherwise involved in church activities. Emphasis is on preparation for administrative and helping roles.

    Interdisciplinary Social Science/Education majors must include in the lower division requirements at least 9 sh of course work with international or diversity focus. Consult with your academic advisor for appropriate courses.

    SPECIAL OPTION SPECIALIZATION
    Designed for students with career or occupational goals calling for greater flexibility than offered by the general specialization, the special option requires 24-27 sh in two social sciences (minimum of 9 sh in each) and 9-12 sh in related courses outside the social sciences, for a total of 36 sh. Students must complete at least one course in research methods, data analysis, statistics, or an equivalent.

    As of the date of publication of this Catalog addendum, the above noted degree requirements have not been approved by the Faculty Senate. Review by the Faculty Senate is anticipated during the Fall Semester 1996.
