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 oneÕs first months at the University.
A grade of ŌCĶ (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 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 studentÕs 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

Bachelor of
Interdisciplinary Studies Program

Associate Director
Interdisciplinary Studies Council: Victor Bahhouth,
Alfred Bryant, Nicholas Giannatasio, Lucie Li, Jamie Litty, Enrique Porra, 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 bachelorÕs 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 universityÕs 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 PembrokeÕs 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.

students receive training in one of six areas of specialization: Advertising,
Allied Health Leadership, Economic Development, Financial Administration,
Health Promotion, or Office Administration.
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),

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.
