FRESHMAN SEMINAR
Coordinator: TBA
A university education
requires attitudes and skills that go far beyond what students have needed
previously. One of its most distinctive features is its direct confrontation
with the limitations of human knowledge. In high school we relied on teachers
and textbook writers to decide difficult issues; at the University we move into
a domain where experts routinely disagree and many issues have no simple
answers. Out of this experience, we learn a new respect for skepticism, open‑mindedness,
and our own creativity.
The University also introduces
us to much greater personal freedom and independence. We move away from the
security of our families into the world of college life. This change forces us
to budget our own time and to sustain our own motivation for achievement.
Finally, the content of a
university curriculum is more difficult to comprehend and retain than anything
we have faced before. We read technical, specialized material and learn words
we have never seen. We are asked to identify key ideas on our own and to review
for comprehensive examinations.
All of these considerations
suggest that new students should receive special instruction preparing them for
the unique challenges of university life. Accordingly, The University of North
Carolina at Pembroke has developed a course entitled Freshman Seminar (FRS
100). This course is a regular academic endeavor, with lectures, examinations,
and academic credit. Its content is summarized in the description presented
below. Students are encouraged to participate actively in this course and to
prepare carefully for its examinations. Such effort may prove more valuable
than any other activity undertaken during one’s first months at the University.
A grade of “C” (2.0) or better
must be earned in order to satisfy the Freshman Seminar requirement.
COURSE (FRS)
FRS 100. Freshman Seminar
General introduction to the academic substance, study methods, and special adjustment problems of university life. Conducted by faculty and staff from various departments. Required of all incoming freshmen during their first fifteen credit hours of course work at the University. Fall, Spring. Credit, 1 semester hour.
GENERAL EDUCATION PROGRAM
Graduation from The University
of North Carolina at Pembroke is based on successful completion of General
Education, which is required for all baccalaureate degrees, and upon successful
completion of a specialized program for a major.
OBJECTIVES FOR GENERAL EDUCATION
The University of North
Carolina at Pembroke seeks to graduate students with broad vision, who are
sensitive to values, who recognize the complexity of social problems, and who
will be contributing citizens with an international perspective and an
appreciation for achievements of diverse civilizations. In addition to meeting
all major program requirements, students awarded baccalaureate degrees by The
University of North Carolina at Pembroke are required to complete a 44‑hour
General Education program. The General Education program has been designed to
provide students with an understanding of the fundamental principles and
contributions of a variety of disciplines and to foster the ability to analyze
and weigh evidence, exercise quantitative and scientific skills, make informed

The University Honors College
at UNC Pembroke recognizes and promotes the scholarly and personal growth of
outstanding students. University Honors
College students are provided interdisciplinary educational opportunities that
enhance the general curriculum. These
opportunities are developed around a learning community of honors students and
include selected general education courses, small interdisciplinary seminars, cultural
and service programs, and shared residential facilities with other honors
students. The University Honors College
offers an intellectually stimulating social environment; greater curricular
flexibility; more personal contact and scholarly discussion with students and
faculty from the various disciplines; and closer interaction with individual
faculty members in the College. Each
University Honors College student will prepare a senior project under the
supervision of a faculty mentor.
University Honors College
students are selected on the basis of class rank, high school grades,
Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores or American College Testing (ACT) scores,
and extra‑curricular and community achievements. Students already enrolled at UNC Pembroke
and transfer students are also eligible to apply for admission to the
University Honors College. University
Honors College students are appointed by the Director of the University Honors
College upon the recommendation of the Honors Council.
To remain in the University
Honors College, students are required to maintain a minimum overall quality‑point
average of 3.0 upon completion of the freshman year, 3.25 upon completion of
the sophomore year, and 3.5 upon completion of the junior year. University Honors College students will
receive a University Honors College diploma and will be recognized at
commencement. To graduate with the
University Honors College designation, the student must complete the University
Honors College program.
University Honors College
students will take several courses together during the freshman year prior to
beginning their major course work.
These courses include Honors English, Honors Biology, and one
interdisciplinary seminar. University
Honors College students will be required to take three additional interdisciplinary
honors seminars during the freshman and sophomore years. During the junior and
senior years, University Honors College students design, complete, and present
their University Honors College Thesis/Project. All University Honors College students are advised by the
Director of the University Honors College until they declare a major field of
study.
The six HON seminars are
usually offered according to the following schedule:
Fall: HON 100, 150, 200; Spring: HON 151, 201, 275
Transfer students and students
entering the University Honors College as other than freshmen will also be
expected to take the four honors seminars, so long as they can be fitted into
the student’s program of study. The
number of honors courses that transfer students or non-freshmen will be
required to take will be determined by the Director of the University Honors
College, after consultation with the student and the Honors Council.
Honors Thesis/Project: All University Honors College students must
complete HON 400 (Research Methods and Prospectus [one semester hour]) and HON
450 (Honors Thesis/Project [three semester hours]) prior to graduation. University Honors College students who elect
to complete a senior Thesis/Project in their major department may substitute an
equivalent departmental course for HON 450.
The departmental Thesis/Project must meet the standards for the Honors
Thesis/Project established by the Honors Council. The Honors Council and the Director of the University Honors
College recommend that HON 400 should be taken during the fall semester of the
junior year. Students failing to
complete the HON 400 course by the end of the junior year will not be continued
on their academic scholarship.
University Honors College students should plan on presenting their Thesis/Project
at the end of the fall semester of the senior year. Requirements and procedures for the University Honors College
Thesis/Project are outlined in The Preparation of the University Honors College
Thesis/Project. Copies of this guide
are available from the Director of the University Honors College or the Chair
of the Honors Council.
The University Honors College
is currently undergoing revision and restructuring. University Honors College students should therefore consult with
the Director of the University Honors College or the Chair of the Honors
Council concerning these revisions.

HEALTH PROFESSIONS PROGRAMS
In addition to the Bachelor of
Science in Nursing, described in the Undergraduate Programs of Study section,
the Departments of Biology and Chemistry and Physics provide curricula which
meet the requirements for admission into most schools of medicine, dentistry,
veterinary science and medical technology.
In addition, students wishing to pursue a degree in a variety of other
health related professions such as pharmacy, optometry, physical therapy, etc.,
can obtain some of the required college preparation (generally two years) at
UNC Pembroke prior to transfer to the appropriate professional school. In each case, admission to the professional
school is competitive and completion of the prescribed curriculum at UNCP does
not guarantee such admission. Because entrance requirements vary with the
profession and with individual schools, it is the responsibility of the student
to be familiar with the requirements of the specific school to which he or she
plans to apply. Advice or assistance can be obtained from the Health Careers
Counselor, or from any biology or chemistry faculty member.
PRE‑HEALTH CURRICULA AND DEGREE PROGRAMS THAT LEAD TO THE HEALTH PROFESSIONS
Curricula: Pre‑Medical, Pre‑Dental, Pre‑Pharmacy, Pre‑Medical Research, Pre-Veterinary Medicine, Pre‑Medical Technology, Pre‑Optometry, Pre‑Nursing, Pre‑Public Health, Pre-Allied Health
Degree Programs: B.S. Biology, B.S. Chemistry, B.S. Applied Physics, B.S. Psychology, B.S. Mathematics, B.S. Nursing
PREPROFESSIONAL CURRICULA IN MEDICINE
Although a B.S. degree is
technically not a prerequisite for these programs, the large majority of
students who apply and are accepted do hold an undergraduate degree. It is
therefore recommended that students interested in these areas pursue a B.S.
degree. The Departments of Biology and Chemistry and Physics offer B.S.
programs with biomedical emphasis that enable a student to meet requirements
for most professional schools. These programs are detailed in the program
descriptions of the Departments of Biology and Chemistry and Physics.
ACCELERATED PROGRAM IN MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
UNCP offers a program to its
biology and chemistry majors in affiliation with hospitals approved by the
Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Association which gives,
by the board of registry of Medical Technologists, a medical technology
certificate. In this program the students complete six semesters of on‑campus
study and one year of study and training in an affiliated hospital. After
satisfactory completion of the fourth year (hospital training), UNCP will award
the B.S. degree in biology or chemistry to the students. Undergraduate students
enrolled in the fourth year of the accelerated program in medical technology
must pay tuition to both UNCP (not including fees) and to the affiliated
hospital. Details of the medical technology programs appear in the program
descriptions of the Departments of Biology and Chemistry and Physics.
Currently, the Biology
Department and the Chemistry and Physics Department have formal affiliations
with McLeod Regional Medical Center in Florence, S.C. Dr. Vera C. Hyman, M.D., and Ms. Vicki Anderson, M.T., the
program director and the education director at McLeod Medical Center, are
regarded as adjunct professor and lecturer respectively at the University of
North Carolina at Pembroke. Although
the affiliation agreement does provide UNCP students some preference in the
admissions process, it should be noted that admission to the hospital program
is competitive and that the admissions process is a function of the hospital
program.
It should be noted that this
is an accelerated program which allows the student to complete in four years a
program that often requires five years. Students may elect the alternate route
in which a B.S. degree in biology or chemistry (biomedical emphasis) is obtained
before application to a hospital program. Students electing this route are
eligible to apply to any school of medical technology and are not limited to
programs affiliated with The University of North Carolina at Pembroke.
