Core Curriculum Requirement Effective Fall 2014

The core curriculum is designed to expose all Texas Tech University graduates to areas of study that are traditionally regarded as basic to the intellec-
tual development of a broadly educated person. These areas of study include: life and physical sciences; social and behavioral sciences; mathematics;
language, philosophy, and culture; creative arts; American history; political science/government; and the tools of communication and thought. The
Texas Tech University core curriculum complies with Texas statutes and Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board rules. Students should refer to
college and department degree requirements when choosing core curriculum courses.
All courses listed with an asterisk (*) are pending Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board approval.

Multicultural Requirement Effective Fall 2014

In addition to the core, every student must include at least one 3-hour multicultural course or its equivalent that focuses explicitly on the distinctive
subcultures of the United States or on the culture of another society. Completion of an approved study abroad course, including assessments by the Texas
Tech University Study Abroad Office, also can fulfill this requirement. Many courses fulfill a core curriculum requirement and at the same time satisfy the
multicultural emphasis. All students should check with an advisor for appropriate courses. Although the courses below fulfill the universitys multicultural
requirement, select Honors courses also may be available and may vary by semester.
Students graduating from Texas Tech University should be able to demonstrate awareness and knowledge of distinctive cultures or subcultures, including but
not limited to ethnicity, race, gender, class, political systems, religions, sexual orientation, languages, or human geography.

Undergraduate Fields of Study
Majors are the primary undergraduate fields of study.
Minors are fields studied in addition to the major.
Concentrations (or Specializations within Art, Music, and Theatre) focus on a specific and often highly specialized area of
study within a major. For instance, there is a concentration in criminology within a sociology major. Concentrations are listed along
with their parent major or area of study; more information regarding specific concentrations can be found in the area of the catalog
referencing those majors.
For information on teacher certification, pre-professional fields, and temporary designations for students who have not declared a
major, see page 56.

progress in the program.
Demonstrate a high level of engagement in social work classes. A
highly engaged student misses class rarely, pays attention to the class
lecture and activities, participates in discussion and group work,
completes all readings, and spends an appropriate level of effort and
length of time on assignments.
Maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA in social work (SW) courses.
These behaviors demonstrate to the faculty (the professions gatekeepers)
the level of a students interest and dedication to social work, as well as
professionalism. Failure to remain in good standing may prevent a student
from progressing further in the program, as well as applying for scholar-
ships or filling student positions within the program.
Social Work Field Placement. The field experience allows students to
demonstrate their abilities to assess client systems and to apply generalist
skills with populations at risk across micro, mezzo, and macro systems. It
is a 400-hour, closely supervised individual experience in a social agency
selected and certified by the social work program.
An Application for Field Experience must be completed prior to the field
placement. Some field sites may have additional requirements, such as
background checks or medical testing. Students should refer to the Social
Work Student Handbook for additional details about the placement
process. Professional liability insurance is required during the field place-
ment and payment is the responsibility of the student.
Transfer Students and Transfer Credit. Under the Texas Common

work program typically accept the equivalent of SW 2301, SW 3311, and
SW 3312 for transfer, especially if from a CSWE-accredited program.

design, develop, construct, and evaluate a system to satisfy the requirements
for the project. Faculty advisors evaluate the project on the basis of finished
products, required written reports, and oral presentations. By its very struc-
ture the project laboratory sequence gives students considerable experience
in dealing with open-ended design problems. They also gain experience in
working closely with others and in written and oral communication.
The material presented in the electrical and computer engineering lecture
courses is incorporated into the project laboratory course sequence. The
projects, however, are real-world problems that require students to go
beyond the basic knowledge learned in the classroom. Through these expe-
riences, students gain the technical maturity necessary to succeed in their
chosen careers. In addition, the project laboratory courses address topics in
engineering ethics and professionalism and help students develop the skills
needed for life-long learning.
The result of the overall curriculum is to prepare a graduate who is sensi-
tive to the consequences of his or her work, both ethically and profession-
ally, for a productive professional career. A broad educational background
has been incorporated into these curriculums and personalized advising
plays an important role in its implementation.
