Back to topAcademic Honesty

Both the value and the success of any academic activity, as well as the entire academic enterprise, have depended for centuries on the fundamental principle of absolute honesty. The university expects all its faculty and students to honor this principle scrupulously.

Since academic dishonesty is a serious breach of the universally recognized code of academic ethics, it is every faculty member's obligation to impose appropriate sanctions for any demonstrable instance of such misconduct on the part of a student.

The university's policy on academic integrity and its procedures for dealing with academic misconduct are detailed in the Student Handbook.

Back to topAdvising

The university expects that all students, at one time or another, will need assistance in planning academic programs consistent with their needs and goals. Both to help students make their initial adjustment to the academic load at PLU and to provide occasional counsel throughout their academic careers, the university has established a network of faculty advisors and an Academic Advising Office.

Faculty Advisors

All students enrolled in degree programs have faculty advisors whose overall responsibility is to guide academic progress. In their work with individual students, advisors have the assistance of personnel in a number of student services offices: Academic Advising, Academic Assistance Center, Career Development, Counseling and Testing Services, Diversity Center, Campus Ministry, international student advisor, and residence hall directors and resident assistants.

Transitional Advisors:
At the time of entry, each student is assigned a transitional advisor, usually according to interests expressed by the student. Students who wish to explore the general curriculum before choosing a major program are assigned to exploratory advisors (professional advising or counseling staff or especially trained faculty) who will help them to make educational plans appropriate to their interests and talents. Transitional advisors are supported by educational planning workshops and by Psychology 113, Career and Educational Planning.

During a student's first semester, an advising file is created for the student's advisor, and a Big Envelope, an advising guide and record-keeping folder, is issued to each student.

Major Advisors:
Upon formal declaration of a major, students are assigned major advisors to replace their general advisors. Major advisors guide students' progress toward their chosen degree goals.

Students may change advisors as appropriate or necessary, using a simple advisor change form. Students and advisors are expected to meet regularly, though the actual number of meetings will vary according to individual needs. Minimally, three meetings are required during the first year and one each year thereafter, though all students are encouraged to meet with their advisors as often as seems necessary or useful.

Back to topAcademic Standing Policy

The following terms are used to describe academic standing at PLU. Academic standing is determined by the Committee for the Admission and Retention of Students, which reserves the right to review any student's record to determine academic standing.

Good Standing:
All students enrolled at the university are expected to stay in good academic standing. Good standing requires a semester grade point average of 2.00 or higher for the immediate past semester, and satisfactory academic progress.

Academic Warning:
Students whose most recent semester grade point average was less than 2.00, whose cumulative grade point average is 2.00 or higher, and whose academic progress is satisfactory are placed on academic warning and sent warning letters. Students whose cumulative and semester grade point averages are below 2.00 at the end of their first semester at PLU are also placed on academic warning.

Probation:
Students other than first semester students are placed on probation if their cumulative grade point average falls below 2.00, or if they have been on warning in the previous semester and have failed to return to good academic standing, or (at the discretion of the Committee for the Admission and Retention of Students) if they have failed to maintain satisfactory academic progress. Probationary students must meet with the director of advising before the tenth day of a probationary semester to draw up a plan for improving their academic work. Academic probation is noted on the transcript. Failure to satisfactorily complete each course attempted in a probationary semester may result in dismissal from the university. Failure to complete includes withdrawals, incompletes, and grades of E or F.

A probation plan may specify requirements agreed on by the student and director of advising: assignment to a probationary advisor, specified contact with the advisor, limitation of credit load, limitation on work or activities, registration in a study skills class, etc. Copies of the agreement are sent to the student and probationary advisor. At the end of the semester, the advisor returns one copy to the director of advising indicating whether or not the student has made an effort to meet the terms of the probationary agreement. This copy is filed in the Office of the Registrar and may be used to make decisions regarding continued probation and academic dismissal.

Continued Probation:
Students whose cumulative grade point averages are still below 2.00 after a probationary semester, but whose last semester grade point averages are above 2.00 and who are otherwise in good standing, may be granted one additional semester of probation at the discretion of the Committee for the Admission and Retention of Students. Such students must participate in the probationary semester program. Failure to satisfactorily complete each course attempted in a probationary semester may result in dismissal from the university. Failure to complete includes withdrawals, incompletes, and grades of E or F.

Academic Dismissal:
Students not in good standing at the end of a probationary semester are dismissed from the university. They may apply for reinstatement by petitioning the Committee for the Admission and Retention of Students (in care of the director of advising). If the petition is approved, the reinstated student is on probation and must participate in the probationary semester program. If the petition is denied, the student may petition again after one semester unless otherwise informed. Students are dismissed for academic reasons after each fall and spring semester.

Second Academic Dismissal:
A readmitted student who fails to attain a 2.00 cumulative grade point average in the semester after reinstatement, but whose semester grade point average is above 2.00, may be granted one additional semester of probation at the discretion of the Committee for the Admission and Retention of Students. If a semester grade point average of 2.00 is not earned in the probationary semester, or if a student fails to achieve a 2.00 cumulative grade point average after a second probationary semester, the student is dismissed a second time and may not apply for reinstatement until one full semester has passed, and then only if new evidence is presented indicating the student's probable success. This rule also applies to a readmitted student who attains good standing and is then dismissed a second time for academic reasons.

Satisfactory Academic Progress:
Satisfactory academic progress shall be defined as completion of at least 75% of the credit hours attempted in an academic year. Failure to complete includes withdrawals, incompletes, and grades of E or F. The Committee for the Admission and Retention of Students reserves the right to review for academic status those students who fail to maintain satisfactory academic progress. The committee shall regularly identify such students, review their records, consider extenuating circumstances, and decide whether or not the students shall be placed on academic probation.

Eligibility for Student Activities:
Any regularly enrolled, full-time student (12 semester hours or more) is eligible for participation in university activities. Limitations on a student's activities based upon academic performance may be set by individual schools, departments, or organizations. A student on academic probation is not eligible for certification in intercollegiate competitions and may be advised to curtail participation in other extracurricular activities.

Midterm Advisory Letters:
In the seventh week of each fall and spring semester, instructors may choose to send warning letters to students doing work below C level (2.00) in their classes. No transcript notation is made, and academic standing is not affected.

Back to topClass Atendance

The university assumes that all registered students have freely accepted personal responsibility for regular class attendance. Course grades reflect the quality of students' academic performance as a whole, which normally includes regular participation in the total class experience and is evaluated accordingly. Absences may lead to a reduction of a student's final grade. In the event of unavoiable absence, students are expected to inform the instructor. Assignment of make-up work, if any, is at the discretion of the instructor.

Back to topClassifications of Students

First-year:
Students who have met first-year entrance requirements.

Sophomores:
Students who have satisfactorily completed 30 semester hours.

Juniors:
Students who have satisfactorily completed 60 semester hours.

Seniors:
Students who have satisfactorily completed 90 semester hours.

Graduate Students:
Students who have met graduate entrance requirements and have been accepted into the Division of Graduate Studies.

Non-Degree Undergraduates:
Undergraduate students who are attending part-time for a maximum of 8 semester hours but are not officially admitted to a degree program.

Non-Degree Graduate Students:
Graduate students who are attending part-time for a maximum of 9 semester hours but are not officially admitted to a degree program.

Back to topCourse Loads

The normal course load for undergraduate students during fall and spring semesters is 13 to 17 hours per semester, including physical education. The minimum full-time course load is 12 hours. The minimum full-time load for graduate students is 8 hours. A normal course load during the January term is 4 hours with a maximum of 5 hours.

  • In order for a student to take a full course load, the student must be formally admitted to the university. See the Admission section of this catalog for application procedures.
  • Students who wish to register for 18 or more hours in a semester are required to have at least a 3.00 grade point average or consent of the provost.
  • Students engaged in considerable outside work may be restricted to a reduced academic load.

Back to topCredit by Examination (Challenge)

Students are permitted, within limits, to obtain credit by examination in lieu of regular enrollment and class attendance. No more than 30 semester hours may be counted toward graduation, whether from the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) or any other examination. Exceptions to this rule for certain groups of students or programs may be made, subject to recommendation by the Educational Policies Committee and approval by the faculty. Credit by examination is open to formally admitted, regular-status students only and does not count toward the residency requirement for graduation.

To receive credit by examination, students must complete a Credit By Examination Registration Form available in the Student Services Center, obtain the signature of the respective department chair or dean, and arrange for the examination with the appropriate instructor. The completed form must be returned to the Student Services Center before the examination is taken. Grades for credit by examination will be submitted by the instructor along with all other grades at the end of the term.

CLEP general examinations are given elective credit only. The various schools, divisions, and departments determine the speci-fic CLEP subject examinations which may fulfill requirements for majors, programs, or general university requirements in their respective academic areas. These examinations are subject to recommendations by the Educational Policies Committee and approval by the faculty.

The minimum passing level for CLEP examinations taken at Pacific Lutheran University is the fiftieth percentile.

CLEP credits granted by other universities, colleges, and community colleges, which are earned before entrance, are honored by Pacific Lutheran University. The application of those credits toward majors, programs, and general university requirements is consistent with school, divisional, and department policies and standards.

The university does not grant credit for college-level general equivalency diploma (GED) tests.

Back to topCredit Restrictions

An undergraduate student may repeat any course. The cumulative grade point average is computed using the highest of the grades earned. Credit toward graduation is allowed only once.

Credit is not allowed for a mathematics or a foreign language course listed as a prerequisite if taken after a higher-level course. For example, a student who has completed Spanish 201 cannot later receive credit for Spanish 102.

Back to topGrading System

Students are graded according to the following designations:
Grade Points per Hour Credit Awarded
A Excellent 4.00 Yes
A- 3.67 Yes
B+ 3.33 Yes
B Good 3.00 Yes
B- 2.67 Yes
C+ 2.33 Yes
C Satisfactory 2.00 Yes
C- 1.67 Yes
D+ 1.33 Yes
D Poor 1.00 Yes
D- 0.67 Yes
E Fail 0.00 No

The grades listed below are not used in calculating grade point averages. No grade points are earned under these designations.
Grade Description Credit Awarded
P Pass Yes
F Fail No
I Incomplete No
IP In Progress No
AU Audit No
W Withdrawal No
WM Medical Withdrawal No
UW Unofficial Withdrawal No
NG No Grade Submitted No

Pass (P) and Fail (F) grades are awarded to students who select the pass/fail option or who are enrolled in exclusive pass/fail courses. These grades do not affect a student's grade point average.

Pass/Fail Option:
The pass/fail option permits students to explore subject areas outside their known abilities by experiencing courses without competing directly with students who are specializing in those areas of study. Grades of A through C- are regarded as pass; grades of D+ through E are regarded as fail. Pass/fail grades do not affect the grade point average.

  • The pass/fail option is limited to 8 credit hours (regardless of repeats, pass or fail).
  • Only one course may be taken pass/fail in fulfillment of general university or core requirements or of the College of Arts and Sciences requirement.
  • The pass/fail option may not be applied to a course taken for fulfillment of a major or minor program. An exception to this is allowed for one course in the major or minor field if it was taken before the major or minor was declared.
  • Students must file their intention to exercise the pass/fail option with the Student Services Center no later than the mid-point of the course. In a full-length semester, this is last day of the eighth week.
  • \
  • The pass/fail option is limited to undergraduate students only.

Exclusive Pass/Fail Courses:
Some courses only award pass/fail grades. The goals of these courses are typically concerned with appreciation, value commitment, or creative achievement. Exclusive pass/fail courses do not meet major or university requirements without faculty approval. If a student takes an exclusive pass/fail course, the student's individual pass/fail option is not affected.

Incomplete (I) grades indicate that students did not complete their work because of circumstances beyond their control. To receive credit, an incomplete must be completed and a passing grade recorded within the first six weeks of the following semester. The earned grade is recorded immediately following the I, which remains on the record (for example IB+). Incomplete grades that are not completed are changed to the default grade indicated by the instructor when the incomplete was submitted. An incomplete is not a permanent grade. An incomplete does not entitle a student to attend class again without reregistering.

In Progress (IP) signifies progress in a course which normally runs more than one term to completion. In Progress carries no credit until replaced by a permanent grade.

Medical Withdrawal (WM) is entered when a course is not completed due to medical cause. A medical withdrawal does not affect a student's grade point average. See Withdrawal from the University, previously listed.

Unofficial Withdrawal (UW) may be entered when a course is not completed because of a student's nonattendance in the days before the withdrawal deadline. See Withdrawal from the University, previously listed.

No Grade (NG) is a temporary grade entered by the Registrar's Office when no grade has been submitted by the established deadline.

Back to topGraduation

Students expecting to fulfill degree requirements within the academic year (including August) are required to file an application for graduation with the Registrar's Office according to the following:

Back to topDegree Completion Bachelor's and Master's Deadline

May 2003; November 1, 2002
August 2003; March 1, 2003
December 2003; May 1, 2003
January 2004; May 1, 2003

There are four degree-completion dates (end of summer session, fall semester, January, and spring semester). Degrees are formally conferred at August, December, and May commencements. Students with January degree dates are expected to take part in the December commencement. The actual date of graduation will be recorded on the permanent records.

Students who plan to transfer back to Pacific Lutheran University for a degree must apply for graduation before or during the first semester of their junior year so that deficiencies may be met before they leave campus.

Back to topHonors

Honors Program:
PLU offers its university Honors Program to students seeking a special academic challenge in classes with equally capable peers. Incoming first-year students may apply for a course of study that includes a minimum of 16 hours of honors-level courses. The program centers on the theme "Taking Responsibility: Matters of the Mind, Matters of the Heart" and integrates academic and experiential learning opportunities, with the objective of preparing participants for lives of service and servant leadership. See the Honors Program section of this catalog for further details.

Honors at Entrance:
These honors are conferred at Opening Convocation on the most highly qualified entering freshmen. Certificates, which are mailed in early May to high schools for presentation to recipients, recognize outstanding high school achievement and anticipate superior performance at the university level. These awards have no monetary value and do not constitute acceptance into the Honors Program.

Graduation Honors:
Degrees with honors of cum laude, magna cum laude, and summa cum laude are granted. A student must earn a cumulative grade point average of 3.50 for cum laude, 3.75 for magna cum laude, and 3.90 for summa cum laude. All transfer grades are combined with PLU grades to determine eligibility. Physical education activity courses are not included in determining graduation honors.

Dean's List:
A Dean's List is created at the end of each semester. To be eligible, a student must have attained a semester grade point average of 3.50 with a minimum of 12 graded hours.

Honor Societies:
Election to the Areté Society is a special recognition of a student's commitment to the liberal arts together with a record of high achievement in relevant course work. The society was organized in 1969 by Phi Beta Kappa members of the faculty to encourage and recognize excellent scholarship in the liberal arts. Student members are elected by the faculty fellows of the society each spring. Both juniors and seniors are eligible; however, the qualifications for election as a junior are more stringent. Students must have:

  • attained a high grade point average (for seniors, normally above 3.70; for juniors, normally above 3.90);
  • completed 110 credit hours in liberal studies;
  • demonstrated the equivalent of two years of college work in foreign language;
  • completed one year of college mathematics (including statistics or computer science) or four years of college preparatory math- ematics in high school and one college mathematics course; and
  • completed a minimum of three semesters in residence at the university.

The university also has chapters of a number of national honor societies on campus, including the following:

  • Alpha Kappa Delta (Sociology)
  • Alpha Psi Omega (Drama)
  • Beta Gamma Sigma (Business)
  • Mu Phi Epsilon (Music)
  • Phi Alpha (Social Work)
  • Pi Kappa Delta (Forensics)
  • Psi Chi (Psychology)
  • Omicron Delta Epsilon (Economics)
  • Sigma Theta Tau (Nursing)
  • Sigma Xi (Scientific Research)

Undergraduate Fellows:
A limited number of undergraduate fellows are appointed annually. These appointments are given to outstanding senior students with a view to encouraging recipi-ents to consider college teaching as a career. An undergraduate fellow is given a variety of opportunities to sample the professional life and work of a faculty member in his or her major discipline. A tuition credit accompanies the appointment.

Back to topNon-Credit Informal Study

To encourage liberal learning of all kinds, above and beyond enrollment in courses leading toward formal degrees, the university offers a variety of opportunities for informal study:

Guest of University Status:
Any professional persons who wish to use university facilities for independent study may apply to the provost for cards designating them as guests of the university.

Auditing Courses:
To audit a course is to enroll, with the permission of the instructor, on a non-credit basis. An auditor is not held accountable for examinations or other written work and does not receive a grade. If the instructor approves, the course may be entered upon the transcript as audit. Audit fees are the same as credit fees.

Visiting Classes:
Members of the academic community are encouraged to visit classes which interest them. No fee is charged for the privilege. Doing so requires the permission of the instructor.

Back to topRegistration Procedures

Students register by using Banner Web, an online registration system. In addition to registering, Banner Web also offer students the ability to add or drop a class, check their schedules, and access final grades. Banner Web may be accessed through the PLU home page (www.plu.edu). Students may contact the Student Services Center with registration questions.

  • Students are not officially enrolled until their registration has been cleared by the Student Accounts Office.
  • Students are responsible for selecting their courses. Advisors are available to assist with planning and to make suggestions.
  • Students should be thoroughly acquainted with all registration materials, including the current catalog and class schedule. Students are also encouraged to study carefully the requirements of all academic programs in which they may eventually declare a major.

Adding or Dropping a Course:
A student may add or drop a course at any time during the first ten days of class during a full-length semester. During the add/drop period, courses may be dropped and tuition will be refunded in full. In most cases, adding and dropping can be accomplished using Banner Web. See the January term and summer catalogs for the add/drop periods for those terms.

Early Registration for Returning Students

Students who plan to return are encouraged to register. Returning students will receive registration time appointments to register for summer and fall terms and for J-term and spring term. Registration dates are determined by the number of hours, including transfer hours, completed by the student. Students may register for each new term or summer session on or after the designated date.

Early Registration Program for Entering Students

Early registration for entering students occurs during June or January, depending on whether students begin in the fall or spring semester. Early registration is conducted by the Advising Office. Registration materials are sent to all accepted entering students well in advance of their arrival on campus for their first semester.

Most students meet in person with a registration counselor as they register for courses. Students may also register by phone.

Withdrawal From A Course

If a student does not wish to continue a course after the add/drop period, the student must withdraw from the course. Tuition is not refunded. A $50 administrative fee is charged for any registration change after the add/drop period.

Medical Withdrawal:
Students may also completely withdraw from the university for a term for medical reasons. The student must provide written evidence from a physician and a personal explanation to the vice president and dean for student life. This must be completed in a timely manner and in no case later than the last day of class in any given term. If granted, the grade of WM will appear on the student's transcript.

Official Withdrawal:
To withdraw officially, the student needs to obtain a withdrawal form from the Student Services Center, fill in the form, have the instructor sign the form, and submit the completed form to the Student Services Center. Withdrawal forms must be submitted before the end of the 12th week. A W grade will appear on the student's transcript. See the January term and summer catalogs for the last dates to withdraw during those terms.

Unofficial Withdrawal:
A student who stops attending a course before the end of the 12th week but does not withdraw may receive an unofficial withdrawal. The grade of UW will appear on the student's transcript. If it can be determined that a student never attended a course, the registration will be cancelled without notation on the transcript.

Withdrawal From The University

Students are entitled to withdraw honorably from the university if their record is satisfactory and all financial obligations are satisfied. Partial tuition refunds are available. Refer to the Tuition and Fees section of this catalog for more information.

Back to topGeneral University Requirements

The university is committed to providing a strong liberal arts base for all its baccalaureate degree programs. Accordingly, in addition to fulfilling certain minimum requirements, all undergraduate students must satisfactorily complete all general university requirements (GURs). No course used to satisfy one GUR may be used to satisfy another, except limited such use in the Perpsective on Diversity requirements.

Specific Requirements - All Baccalaureate Degrees

  1. The First-year Experience
    The Examined Life: Into Uncertainty and Beyond
    The first-year program provides a supportively challenging context in which to begin the quest for, and adventure of, a larger vision for life. University education is about more than skills; at PLU it is about liberating students for critical and committed living, combining well developed critical capacities with compassion and vision for service in a multicultural, ideologically plural world.
    In addition to orientation and advising programs, the first-year program is composed of three requirements. One of the two seminars must be taken in the student's first semester. First-year program requirements must be completed during the student's first year.
    This requirement must be met by all students entering PLU with fewer than 20 semester hours.
    1. (a) Inquiry Seminar: Writing (4 hours) - FW, WR:
      These seminars focus on writing, thinking, speaking, and reading.They involve writing as a way of thinking, of learning, and of discovering and ordering ideas. Taught by faculty from the university's various departments and schools, these seminars are organized around topics that engage students and faculty in dialogue and provide the opportunity to examine issues from a variety of perspectives.
      Note: Credits earned by Advanced Placement-English and International Baccalaureate-English do not satisfy this requirement, though they may be used for elective credit. Students with officially transcripted college writing courses, including those in Washington State's Running Start program, are nonetheless eligible to enroll in the writing seminar for credit, or they may choose to use their previous credits to satisfy the writing seminar requirement.
    2. (b) Inquiry Seminar (4 hours) - F:
      Inquiry Seminars are courses specially designed for first- year students, which will introduce students to the methods and topics of study within a particular academic discipline or field. Inquiry Seminars also emphasize the acadmic skills that are at the center of the First-year Experience Program. Working with other first-year students in a small-class setting that promotes active, seminar-style learning, students practice fundamental skills of literacy, thinking and community as they operate within that particular discipline. In addition to fulfilling major and minor require ments, an Inquiry Seminar may fulfill no more than one GUR.
    3. (c) First-year January Residency Requirement (4 hours):
      All first-year students must enroll in a course during J-term. In addition to fulfilling major or minor requirements, a course taken during J-term used to fulfill this residency requirement may fulfill no more than one GUR.
  2. Mathematical Reasoning (4 hours) - MR
    A course in mathematics or applications of mathematics, with emphasis on numerical and logical reasoning and on using appropriate methods to formulate and solve problems. This requirement may be satisfied by any 4 hours from mathematics (except Math 91 or Math 99) or by Computer Science 115 or by Statistics 231. This requirement may also be satisfied by the completion (with at least a B average) of the equivalent of four years of college preparatory mathematics (through mathematical analysis or calculus or equivalent). In fulfilling the mathematical reasoning requirement, students with documented disabilities will be given reasonable accommodations as determined by the coordinator for students with disabilities and the appropriate faculty member in consultation with the student.
    In fulfilling the Math Reasoning Requirement, students with documented disabilities will be given reasonable accomodations as determined by the Coordinator for Students with Disabilities and the appropriate faculty member in consultation with the student.
  3. Science and the Scientific Method (4 hours) - SM
    A science course that teaches the methods of science, illus- trates its applications and limitations, and includes a labora- tory component. At least one of the courses taken to meet line 4 or 2 (Core I, e) must be a course in which the subject is natural sciences, i.e., physical or biological science.
  4. Writing Requirement (4 hours) - WR
    All students must complete 4 credit hours in an approved writing course. First-year students satisfy this requirement through the Inquiry Seminar: Writing.
  5. Perspectives On Diversity (8 hours)
    a course in each of the following two lines.
    1. Alternative Perspectives (4 hours) - A: A course that creates an awareness and understanding of diversity in the United States, directly addressing issues such as ethnicity, gender, disability, racism, or poverty.
    2. Cross-Cultural Perspectives (4 hours) - C: A course that en- hances cross-cultural understandings through examination of other cultures. This requirement may be satisfied in one of three ways:
      1. a course focusing on the culture of non-Euro-American societies;
      2. a foreign language course numbered 201 or above (not sign language) used to satisfy the entrance requirement, or completion through the first year of college level of a foreign language (not sign language) other than that used to satisfy the foreign language entrance requirement. (A foreign language completed through the second year of college level may also be used to simultaneously satisfy Option I, or a completion of a foreign language through the first year of college level may also be used to simultaneously satisfy Option II of the College of Arts and Sciences requirements [see below]); or
      3. participation in an approved semester-long study abroad program (January term programs are evaluated individually.)

    Note: 4 hours of Perspectives on Diversity courses may be used to fulfill another general university requirement. The remaining 4 hours must be a course that does not simultaneously fulfill any other general university requirement. These 4 hours may, however, satisfy a requirement in the major or minor. Junior and senior transfer students shall either take one Perspectives on Diversity course (4 credit hours) at PLU that does not simultaneously fulfill another general university requirement, or they shall show that they have satisfied both the Alternative Perspectives and Cross-Cultural Perspectives lines of the requirement.

  6. Physical Education (4 hours) - PE
    Four different physical education activity courses, including Physical Education 100. One hour of credit may be earned through approved sports participation. All activities are graded on the basis of A, Pass, or Fail.
  7. Senior Seminar/Project (2-4 hours as designated by the academic unit of the student's major) - SR A substantial project, paper, practicum, or internship that culminates and advances the program of an academic major. The end product must be presented to an open audience and critically evaluated by faculty in the student's field. With approval of the student's major department, interdisciplinary capstone courses such as the Global Studies Research Seminar or the Honors Program Challenge Experience may fulfill this requirement.
  8. One of Two Alternative Cores: Core I or Core II

    Core I: The Distributive Core (32 hours)

    1. Arts/Literature (8 hours, 4 from each line)
      1. Art, Music, or Theatre - AR

College of Arts and Sciences Requirements

In addition to meeting the entrance requirement in foreign language (two years of high school language, one year of college language, or demonstrated equivalent proficiency), candidates in the College of Arts and Sciences (all BA, BS, BARec, BAPE [excluding BAPE with certification], and BSPE degrees) must meet Option I, II, or III below. Candidates for the BA in English, for the BA in Education with concentration in English, for the BA in Global Studies, for the BBA in International Business, and for election to the Areté Society must meet Option I.

  1. Completion of one foreign language through the second year of college level. This option may also be met by completion of four years of high school study in one foreign language with grades of C or higher, or by satisfactory scores on a proficiency examination administered by the PLU Department of Languages and Literatures.
  2. Completion of one foreign language other than that used to satisfy the foreign language entrance requirement through the first year of college level. This option may also be met by satisfactory scores on a proficiency examination adminis- tered by the PLU Department of Languages and Literatures.
  3. Completion of 4 semester hours in history, literature, or language (at the 201 level, or at any level in a language other than that used to satisfy the foreign language entrance requirement) in addition to courses applied to the general university requirements, and 4 semester hours in symbolic logic, mathematics (courses numbered 100 or above), computer science, or statistics in addition to courses applied to the general university requirements. Courses used to satisfy either category of Option III of the College of Arts and Sciences requirement may not also be used to satisfy general university requirements.

Language Coursework and the Perspectives on Diversity Requirement:
A foreign language course numbered 201or above used to satisfy Option I, or completion of a foreign language through the first year of college level used to satisfy Option II, may be used simultaneously to satisfy the Perspectives on Diversity requirement. A course in American Sign Language may be used to satify the Alternative Perspectives line, and foreign language course(s) (not sign) may be used to satisfy the Cross-Cultural Perspectives line (see above).

Understandings Regarding All Requirements:
(1) Consult particular departmental sections of the catalog for detailed specification of courses that count for these requirements. (2) For those lines of the general university requirements which refer to academic disciplines or units, selected courses outside those units may count for the requirement when approved both by the units and by the committee overseeing the general university requirements, (3) Courses offered through correspondence, on-line, and independent studies are not accepted to fulfill the core requirement in Literature, Philosophy, or Religious Studies.
