FRESHMAN SEMINAR
Coordinator: Elizabeth Froeba
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
1000). 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 1000. 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.

The Senior Project can be one
of four possibilities.
1) Community Service Project.
This project involves a student’s active participation in a focused project
involving service to the community. The student must complete either the
Horizon Leadership Program or the Distinguished Leader program, both
administered through the Leadership and Service Opportunities Office. The
Service Project will be supervised by a UNCP faculty member. During the senior
year, the student will schedule an oral presentation, the purpose of which will
be to describe the development, implementation, and outcomes of the Community
Service Project. The faculty mentor and the Dean of the Honors College will
approve the successful completion of the project.
2) Campus Dialogue Project.
This project asks the student to become an active participant in campus-wide
dialogue about a specific issue, usually relative to the student’s major. The
student will work with a faculty mentor to research the topic. During the
senior year, the student must organize and facilitate (in consultation with the
mentor and Honors College Dean) at least two campus dialogues on the topic.
These dialogues should involve faculty and students from a variety of
disciplines. The faculty mentor and the Dean of the Honors College will approve
the successful completion of the project.
3) Creative Project. Students
choosing this option will work with a faculty mentor to develop the project.
During the senior year, the student will display or perform his or her art and
then provide an oral description/interpretation of the work. The faculty mentor
and the Dean of the Honors College will approve the successful completion of
the project.
4) Senior Thesis Project. The
Senior Thesis is a written research project completed under the direction of a
faculty mentor. Guidelines are available in the Honors College Office. The
thesis is completed during the senior year, and the student must also schedule
an oral presentation/defense of the thesis. The faculty mentor and the Dean of
the Honors College will approve the successful completion of the thesis.
Departmental Honors
*Take four HON
(interdisciplinary) courses
* Achieve at least a 3.5 QPA
overall
*Complete two Honors Contract
Courses in upper level major courses

Courses:
Contract courses require work
that is above and beyond the normal expectations of the course. Contract
courses must be taught by tenured or tenure-track members of the major
department. The student and faculty will agree upon the requirements for
completing the contract course, fill out the appropriate paperwork (available
online), and obtain the signature of the department chair. The contract and
accompanying syllabus will be turned in to the Dean of the Honors College for
final approval.
The Senior Thesis is a written
research project completed under the direction of a faculty mentor. Guidelines
are available in the Honors College Office. The thesis is completed during the
senior year, and the student must also schedule an oral presentation/defense of
the thesis. The faculty mentor and the Dean of the Honors College will approve
the successful completion of the thesis.
Both University and Departmental Honors
*Take four HON
(interdisciplinary) courses
*Take at least four general
education honors courses
*Complete two Honors Contract
Courses in upper level major courses
* Achieve at least a 3.5 QPA
overall
*Complete HON 4000 and HON

It is possible, though not
necessary, that the Senior Project and Senior Thesis are developed from the
same research. Students must consult with the Honors College Dean to coordinate
the successful completion of both University and Departmental Honors. Those
selecting option four for University Honors must also complete option one, two,
or three to receive both University Honors and Departmental Honors.
Maynor Honors College students
will take several courses together during the freshman year prior to beginning
their major course work. These courses
include several general education courses as well as one interdisciplinary
seminar. Students with special
scheduling needs as freshmen may petition the Dean of the Maynor Honors College
for alternate courses of study during the first semester. All Maynor Honors
College students are advised by the Dean of the Maynor Honors College until
they declare a major field of study.
The seven HON seminars are
usually offered according to the following schedule:
Fall: HON 1000, 2000, 2510; Spring: HON 1510, 2010, 2750; As Announced: HON 3000
Transfer students and students
entering the Maynor 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 Dean of the Maynor Honors College, after consultation with
the student and the Honors College Council.
Honors Thesis/Project: All University Honors College students must
complete HON 4000 (Research Methods and Prospectus [one semester hour]) and HON
4500 (Honors Thesis/Project [three semester hours]) prior to graduation. Maynor Honors College students who elect to
complete a senior Thesis/Project in their major department may substitute an
equivalent departmental course for HON 4500.
The departmental Thesis/Project must meet the standards for the Honors
Thesis/Project established by the Honors College Council. The Honors College Council and the Dean of the
Maynor Honors College recommend that HON 4000 should be taken during the fall
semester of the junior year. 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 Maynor Honors College Thesis/Project
are outlined in The Preparation of the Maynor Honors College
Thesis/Project. Copies of this guide are
available from the Dean of the Maynor Honors College.

Bachelor of
Interdisciplinary Studies Program

Interdisciplinary Studies Council: Victor Bahhouth, Alfred Bryant,
Nicholas Giannatasio, Lucie Li, Jamie Litty, Enrique Porrúa, Jeremy Sellers,
Dennis Sigmon, Chris Ziemnowicz
The Bachelor of
Interdisciplinary Studies (BIS) program is exclusively designed for learners
with at least two years of transferable credit from institutions other than
UNCP, who hold either Associate in Applied Arts or Associate in Applied Science
degrees. The program serves adult
students, in particular, who seek a broad, more flexible degree program to help
them to advance or become more established in their careers or to improve their
understanding of the world around them.
The BIS is intended for a set
of diverse students who bring to the university many academic, personal, and
work-related experiences. They may
choose the BIS program because (1) they are aware that they are more employable
in many occupations with the degree, (2) that learning in the arts and sciences
and in a field of specialization leads to understanding and empowerment, and
(3) they review their personal plans and recognize that they can effectively
meet their most important goals for a bachelor’s degree through the BIS.
The University of North
Carolina at Pembroke, like every other college accredited by the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools, requires that all its academic programs
have an approved balance among general education, one or more fields of
specialization, and electives. The BIS
is no exception. BIS students are required
to meet the university’s general education core requirements and are involved
in middle and upper level classes combined into a varied array of
interdisciplinary program majors.
The BIS is not designed for
persons needing to receive specific state or national certification in a
professional field—for example, teaching, nursing, or computer science—or
wishing preparation in pursuit of a graduate degree.
BIS Completion Requirements
The Bachelor of
Interdisciplinary Studies degree may be earned upon completion of the following
requirements:
1. Meet The University of North Carolina at Pembroke’s general education core requirements.
2. Hold an Associate in Applied Arts or an Associate in Applied Science degree from a two-year institution.
3. Complete a course of study in a specific Interdisciplinary Studies Major (listed below) of between 36 and 56 semester hours (SH) with an earned average grade point of 2.0 or better for the courses taken. At least 25 per cent of the total credit requirements for any particular Interdisciplinary Studies Major must be taken from one or more Academic Departments at The University of North Carolina at Pembroke (UNCP). Only 60 SH may be transferred from two-year institutions (including 30 hours credit awarded for completion of Applied Associate degree from such institution). The number of SH permitted from any department, school, or college of UNCP will be restricted by discipline specific accreditation standards.
4. Transfer or take a balance of elective or support courses to meet the total credit requirements of any particular Interdisciplinary Studies Major.
5. And complete all other requirements for baccalaureate graduation at The University of North Carolina at Pembroke.
6. Two thirds of all Major and Track courses taken toward the BIS degree must be from UNCP.
Students
and advisors should pay careful attention to the general education courses in
each Interdisciplinary Studies major, as well as any courses in the core and
tracks which have prerequisites.
Prerequisites cannot be taken concurrently with the courses for which
they are prerequisites.
The
Interdisciplinary Studies program is no different than any other program in the
UNCP catalog when it comes to credit for experiential learning. In other words, college credit in lieu of
lifelong learning/experiential learning will not be granted.
Majors within the BIS degree
program contain cores of 21 to 33 credit hours to which are attached 15 to 29
hours of approved electives, most often bundled as tracks. Students also may elect to attach one or more
minors to these majors to fulfill University electives.
B.I.S. IN APPLIED PROFESSIONAL STUDIES
The Bachelor of
Interdisciplinary Studies in Applied Professional Studies prepares graduates
with core competencies necessary for successful careers in for-profit business.
Combined with solid training in communication and writing skills, these
competencies include basic understandings of economics, finance, statistics,
decision sciences, management, and marketing. Beyond these core competencies,
students receive training in one of seven areas of specialization: Advertising,
Community Recreation, Economic Development, Health Promotion, International,
Office Administration, or Theatre.
Similar to other majors within
the Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies Degree program, the BIS in Applied
Professional Studies is intended for those interested in obtaining a highly
relevant and practical degree that provides advancement opportunities in their
current employment, and for those who are starting or interested in changing
their professional careers. The program of study for the BIS in Applied
Professional Studies consists of five components: General Education
Requirements (44 hours); Core Requirements (21 hours), Track Requirements (15
hours), 30 hours upon verification of the student’s holding an Applied

HEALTH PROFESSIONS PROGRAMS
In addition to the Bachelor of
Science in Nursing, described in the College of Arts and Sciences 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.

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
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 to the students. Contract renewal is pending; details of the
medical technology program are available from the Department of Biology.
Currently, the Biology
Department has formal affiliation 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 (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.
*Program
will be offered upon renewal of contract.
