2008-09 UCI Catalogue: Information for Admitted Students

REQUIREMENTS FOR A BACHELOR'S DEGREE

There are four groups of requirements that must be met to earn a baccalaureate degree from UCI: general UC requirements, UCI requirements, school or program requirements, and degree-specific requirements. UC and UCI requirements are described below. School or program and major-specific requirements are described in full in the academic unit sections.

Students with identified learning and/or physical disabilities, including language-acquisition problems, are eligible to receive support through the Disability Services Center; telephone (949) 824-7494 (voice), 824-6272 (TDD). Staff can assist students from the time they are admitted to UCI until they graduate.

Catalogue Rights

Students enrolled at UCI from their freshman year may elect to meet as graduation requirements (UC, UCI, school, and major): (a) those in effect at the time of entrance; or (b) those subsequently established after entrance.

A readmitted student who has not been enrolled at UCI for three or more consecutive quarters (excluding summer sessions) must adhere to the graduation requirements: (a) in effect for the quarter in which the student is readmitted; or (b) those subsequently established.

Students transferring from other collegiate institutions may elect to meet as graduation requirements either: (a) those in effect at the time of enrollment at UCI; (b) those subsequently established; or (c) those in effect at UCI when the student first entered a previous, accredited collegiate institution, provided that the student has been continuously enrolled in a collegiate institution and that entry was not more than four years prior to the time of enrollment at UCI.

A transfer student who has had a break of enrollment of two consecutive semesters or three consecutive quarters (excluding summer sessions) may follow the requirements in effect at UCI: (a) at the time of enrollment at UCI; (b) those subsequently established; or (c) those in effect at the time of reentry into a previous, accredited collegiate institution, provided that reentry was not more than four years prior to enrollment at UCI.

A transfer student who has been continuously enrolled in college for more than four years prior to transfer may use: (a) the requirements in effect at the time of enrollment at UCI; (b) those subsequently established; or (c) those in effect at UCI four years prior to enrollment at UCI.

All students, whether enrolled at UCI from their freshman year, readmitted, or transfer, may elect to fulfill general education requirements as specified above, independent of how they choose to meet all other graduation requirements (UC, UCI [with the exception of general education], school, and major).

Students choosing to complete a minor, whether enrolled at UCI from their freshman year, readmitted, or transfer, may elect to fulfill minor requirements as specified above, independent of how they choose to meet all other graduation requirements (UC, UCI, school, and major).

Transfer students who complete one of the following options will be considered to have met the total UCI general education requirement except the upper-division writing requirement: (a) students who transfer from a four-year institution and who have completed the general education requirements of that college, upon approval of petition; (b) students who transfer from another UC campus and provide official documentation that they have met the general education requirements of that campus; (c) students who transfer from another UC campus and are in the process of completing the general education requirements of that campus, upon approval of petition, and who subsequently complete the remaining requirements of that campus at UCI; or (d) California community college transfer students who have completed the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum. Transfer students may also elect to complete the UCI general education requirement.

University Requirements

ENGLISH (UC ENTRY LEVEL WRITING)

Every undergraduate must demonstrate upon entrance to the University a proficiency in writing. The Entry Level Writing Requirement (previously known as the Subject A Requirement), may be satisfied before entrance in any of the following ways:

1. Score 3 or higher on the College Board Advanced Placement Examination in English (Language or Literature); or

2. Score 5 or higher on the International Baccalaureate Higher Level Examination in English (Language A only), or score 6 or higher on the IB Standard Level Examination in English (Language A only); or

3. Score 680 or higher on the Writing section of the SAT Reasoning Test, or score 30 or higher on the ACT Combined English/Writing test; or

4. Prior to enrolling in the University, complete with a grade of C or better a transferable college course in English composition worth four quarter or three semester units. (Once a student enrolls at a UC campus, courses from institutions other than UC may not be used to satisfy the Entry Level Writing Requirement.) Students who meet the University's basic requirements for minimal transfer eligibility, which include two transferable college courses in English composition, satisfy the Entry Level Writing Requirement; or

5. Achieve a passing score on the UC Analytical Writing Placement Examination (previously called the Subject A Examination).

Those students who have not met the requirement before entrance must satisfy the requirement before the beginning of their fourth quarter at UCI. Students who have not satisfied the requirement by that time will be ineligible to enroll for a fourth quarter.

Students enrolled in Essentials of Academic Writing (Humanities 20A-B-C-D) must enroll in Fundamentals of Composition with Computer Lab (Writing 39AP and Lab) immediately after they are authorized to do so by the Academic English/English as a Second Language Program. Students with a score of 2, 3, or 4 from the UC Analytical Writing Placement Examination are also required to enroll in Writing 39AP with Computer Lab.

The UC Entry Level Writing requirement may be met after admission by one of the following options:

1. Passing the UC Analytical Writing Placement Examination given in mid-May (and on subsequent dates) to all entering freshmen admitted for fall quarter, 2008 (see Placement Testing). Transfer students who have not satisfied the UC Entry Level Writing requirement should contact the UCI Composition Program Office, 420 Humanities Instructional Building; telephone (949) 824-6717.

2. Enrolling in sections of the Humanities Core Course designated "S/A." (NOTE: Students held for UC Entry Level Writing and enrolled in the Humanities Core must enroll in a S/A section of the Core Course during their first quarter. Successful completion of the writing component of these sections of this course with a letter grade of C or better will satisfy the requirement. Students who do not receive a letter grade of C or better in Humanities 1A S/A in fall quarter and who continue to be held for UC Entry Level Writing must enroll in Humanities 1B S/A during the winter quarter and satisfy the requirement by earning a letter grade of C or better.)

3. Taking Writing 37, 39A, or 39AP with Computer Lab and receiving a letter grade of C or better in that course.

The Pass/Not Pass grade option may not be used to satisfy the UC Entry Level Writing requirement.

Students enrolled at UCI may take only UCI courses in satisfaction of the UC Entry Level Writing requirement. Continuing UCI students may not take summer courses at another institution to satisfy this requirement.

AMERICAN HISTORY AND INSTITUTIONS

This requirement may be met by one of the following options:

1. Completion in an accredited high school of one year of United States history with grades of C or better, or one semester of United States history and one semester of United States government with grades of C or better; or

2. Achieving a score of 3, 4, or 5 on the College Board Advanced Placement Examination in United States History; or

3. Achieving a score of 550 or better on the SAT Subject Test in United States history; or

4. Presentation of a certificate of completion of the requirement at another California institution; or

Acceptable UCI courses: United States history—History 40A, 40B, 40C; United States government—Political Science 21A.

UCI Requirements

UNIT REQUIREMENT

Credit for a minimum of 180 quarter units, earned by examination, by other evaluation, or course work is required. A course normally offers four quarter units of credit.

GRADE REQUIREMENT

A minimum grade average of at least C (2.0) is required (1) overall, (2) in all of the courses required for the major program, and (3) in the upper-division courses required for the major program. Higher averages than this may be required only in honors programs. Students who fail to attain a C (2.0) average in courses required in the major program may, at the option of the major unit, be denied the privilege of pursuing a major program in that unit. In this context, "the courses required in the major program" are defined as the courses required for the major and offered by the program of the student's major (or programs, in the case of an interdisciplinary or interdepartmental major). A major can include additional courses required for the major in this set, with the approval of the Council on Education Policy. In this case, the list of additional courses is published in the Catalogue with the requirements for the major.

RESIDENCE REQUIREMENT

At least 36 of the final 45 units completed by a student for the bachelor's degree must be earned in residence at the UCI campus. Exceptions to this rule may be allowed, with prior departmental approval, to students enrolled in the Education Abroad Program, the UCDC Academic Internship Program, the UC Center Sacramento Scholar Intern Program, or the International Opportunities Program with International Study Advance Contract.

GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENT

The following general education requirements are effective fall 2008. Students who began college prior to fall 2008 should consult the Catalogue Rights section above for information about their options for satisfying these requirements. Transfer students should also see the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum section on page 64. (The general education requirement was previously known as the breadth requirement.)

UCI is committed to the values of a liberal education. One component of that commitment is the requirement that all undergraduates complete a set of general education (GE) requirements. General education courses introduce students to a range of ideas and intellectual activities that engage UCI scholars, providing both scope and balance to a University degree beyond the study of a specific major.

The general education requirements are intended to help undergraduates place the specialized study undertaken in the major within a broader context. They are designed to cultivate the skills, knowledge, and understanding that will make students effective contributors to society and the world. The general education requirements should enable UCI undergraduates to apply the abilities developed in their studies to identify significant issues, gather and evaluate available evidence, analyze alternatives, reach conclusions, communicate the results effectively, and take considered actions.

The general education requirement is a graduation requirement and, with the exception of the lower-division writing requirement, need not be satisfied during only the lower-division years. To satisfy the general education requirement, courses are required in each of the following categories:

I. Writing (two lower-division plus one upper-division course)

II. Science and Technology (three courses)

III. Social and Behavioral Sciences (three courses)

IV. Arts and Humanities (three courses)

V. Quantitative, Symbolic, and Computational Reasoning (three courses)

VI. Language Other Than English (one course)

VII. Multicultural Studies (one course that may also satisfy another GE requirement)

VIII. International/Global Issues (one course that may also satisfy another GE requirement)

IX. Laboratory or Performance (one course that may also satisfy another GE requirement)

The specific courses in each area that students may use to satisfy the requirements are listed below. When a general education course is cross-listed with another course, that course also is available for fulfillment of the requirement. Students should refer to the Catalogue descriptions of the courses to determine which are cross-listed.

A course qualifies for a particular GE category based on its content rather than on the academic unit that offers it. However, to increase students' exposure to a variety of disciplinary approaches, students are encouraged to choose GE courses from a wide range of schools and departments outside of the student's major.

NOTE: The following list of courses approved for GE is effective for the 2008-09 academic year only. Because changes occur each year, students should consult the GE list annually to ensure that the courses they enroll in are on the list. GE credit is awarded for a course only if it appears on the list during the academic year when it is taken. The GE list also is available online at http://www.reg.uci.edu/registrar/index.html. To check the GE course offerings in a particular quarter, students should consult the Schedule of Classes on the Registrar's Web site at at http://www.reg.uci.edu.

GENERAL EDUCATION CATEGORIES

I. Writing. Because of the importance of writing in every academic discipline, in the professions, and in public life, the University is committed to developing the writing abilities of its students at all levels and in all areas. The Writing Requirement expresses this commitment, but the concern for and attention to clear, accurate writing is expected in all courses.

The Writing Requirement consists of two courses at the lower-division level beyond the UC Entry Level Writing requirement and one upper-division course in a discipline.

Except where otherwise noted below, students must satisfy the UC Entry Level Writing requirement prior to fulfilling the UCI writing requirement.

Students who have not completed the lower-division writing requirement before the beginning of their seventh quarter at UCI will be subject to probation. Students transferring to UCI normally should have satisfied the lower-division writing requirement before entering UCI; if, however, they have not, they must complete it within their first three quarters of enrollment or they will be subject to probation. Academic English/English as a Second Language students must complete the lower-division writing requirement before the beginning of the seventh quarter following the completion of their AE/ESL courses or they will be subject to probation.

The third course must be an upper-division writing course, and it must be taken only after the successful completion of the lower-division requirement.

Students enrolled at UCI may take only UCI courses in satisfaction of the lower-division and upper-division writing requirements. Continuing UCI students may not take summer courses at another institution to satisfy lower-division or upper-division writing requirements.

Lower-Division Requirement: The two courses taken to fulfill the lower-division requirement must be completed with a minimum grade of C (or a Pass or Credit grade equivalent to C). Students may select from the courses specified below:

1. Writing 39B (Critical Reading and Rhetoric) and 39C (Argument and Research).

2. Writing 37 (Intensive Writing) and 39C (Argument and Research). Recommended students only.

3. Two quarters of the writing component of the Humanities Core Course (Humanities 1A-B-C) beyond satisfaction of the UC Entry Level Writing requirement. NOTE: Students held for the UC Entry Level Writing requirement and enrolled in the Humanities Core must enroll in a section of the Core Course designated S/A during their first quarter. Successful completion of the writing component of these sections of this course with a letter grade of C or better will satisfy the UC Entry Level Writing requirement. (The Pass/Not Pass grade option may not be used to satisfy it.) For these students, the UCI lower-division writing requirement may be satisfied only in the second and third quarters of the Humanities Core Course. Students who do not receive a C or better in Humanities 1A S/A in fall quarter and continue to be held for the UC Entry Level Writing requirement must enroll in Humanities 1B S/A during the winter quarter and satisfy the requirement by earning a letter grade of C or better. The lower-division writing requirement will be satisfied in the second and third quarters of the Humanities Core Course for these students.

4. Students who complete Writing 37 or 39B with a grade of B (3.0) or better may substitute as the second course of the lower-division writing requirement one of the following courses in creative writing or nonfiction and journalism: Writing 30, 31, or 38.

5. Writing 39B and completion of a First-Year Integrated Program (FIP) sequence, with a grade of C (or Pass) or better in the third quarter of the sequence.

Upper-Division Requirement: The course taken to fulfill the upper-division requirement must be completed with a minimum grade of C (or a Pass or Credit grade equivalent to C). The requirement may be satisfied by completing any one of the following:

1. An upper-division course designated on a list of approved courses in the quarterly Schedule of Classes on the Registrar's Web site at http://www.reg.uci.edu. NOTE: All courses approved to fulfill the upper-division writing requirement should have a "W" suffix. Students are encouraged to consult the Schedule of Classes or their advisor to determine the current upper-division writing requirement course offerings. If a course on the approved list is offered without the "W" suffix, it does not satisfy the upper-division writing requirement.

2. Writing 139W.

3. Writing 109, 110, 111, or 113. Consent of instructor is required. Students may not use such a course to satisfy the requirement unless they have attained a B or better in both courses taken to satisfy the lower-division writing requirement.

Students who fail to attain the required grades in the courses taken in fulfillment of the writing requirement should refer to the Academic Regulations and Procedures section for further information.

II. Science and Technology. Understanding the nature of scientific inquiry and the operation of the biological, physical, and technological world is essential for making personal and public policy decisions in a technological society.

Check with an EAP counselor at the Center for International Education to determine the programs in countries that fulfill this requirement.

F. The equivalent as determined by an appropriate and available means of evaluation. For information on availability of such examinations and testing schedules, consult the Academic Testing Center, 3043 Anteater Instructional and Research Building, (949) 824-6207. If an appropriate means of evaluating competence in a non-English language of instruction does not exist, satisfactory completion, with a C average or better, of one year of formal schooling at the sixth grade level or higher in an institution where the language of instruction is not English will meet the requirement. Appropriate documentation must be presented to substantiate that the course work was completed.

VII. Multicultural Studies. This requirement develops students' awareness and appreciation of the history, society, and/or culture of one or more underrepresented groups in California and the United States.

Students must complete one course from the following list. In fulfilling category VII, students are encouraged to use courses that are also being used in fulfillment of other GE categories. For example, Humanities 1C simultaneously satisfies category VII and a portion of category IV.

One of the following fourth-quarter language options:

A. Arabic 2A, S2AB; Chinese 2A; French 2A, S2AB; German 2A, S2AB; Greek 100A, 100B; Hebrew 2A; Italian 2A; Japanese 2A, S2AB; Korean 2A; Latin 100A, 100B; Persian 2A, S2AB; Portuguese 2A, 120A; Russian 2A; Spanish 2A, 2AB, 2BZ, 2MD, S2AB; Vietnamese 2A.

B. Credit for four years of high school study or its equivalent in a single language other than English with a C average or better in the fourth year.

C. A score of 4 or 5 on a College Board Advanced Placement Examination in a language other than English. NOTE: Students who earn a 3, 4, or 5 on the AP Chinese Examination must take the UCI Chinese placement examination to determine course credit.

D. A score of 620 or better on a College Board SAT Subject Test in a language other than English, with the exception of the test in Modern Hebrew for which a score of 540 or better is required.

E. The equivalent as determined by an appropriate and available mean of evaluation. For information on availability of such examinations and testing schedules, consult the Testing Office, Student Services II, (949) 824-6207. If an appropriate means of evaluating competence in a non-English language of instruction does not exist, satisfactory completion, with a C average or better, of two years of formal schooling at the sixth grade level or higher in an institution where the language of instruction is not English will meet the requirement. Appropriate documentation must be presented to substantiate that the course work was completed.

IX. Laboratory or Performance. Every student at UCI should have at least one academic experience that goes beyond traditional classroom delivery. Examples include courses in which students conduct laboratory experiments, complete a performance in the fine arts, study abroad, participate in outreach efforts, or complete an academic internship, field study, or practicum. In satisfying category IX, students are encouraged to use courses that also satisfy another category's requirement.

Students must complete one course from the following list:

First-Year Integrated Program (FIP)

University Studies 11-15 are three-quarter multidisciplinary sequences for freshmen only. These integrated courses are designed to introduce students to the ways different disciplines approach similar problems and to provide a freshman learning community experience. Successful completion of all three quarters will satisfy four courses toward partial fulfillment of different GE requirement categories. These courses are designed to have a capstone research writing component in the third quarter which will satisfy the second quarter of the lower-division writing requirement—one of the four courses toward partial fulfillment of GE categories. To satisfy the second quarter of the lower-division writing requirement with an FIP sequence, students must concurrently enroll in Writing 39B either the fall or winter quarter and pass it with a grade of C or better, and also complete the FIP sequence with a grade of C (or Pass) or better in the third quarter of the sequence. For complete information about the FIP sequences, including course descriptions and prerequisites, see page 50.

NOTE: Undecided/Undecided students enrolling in an FIP sequence are not required to take University Studies 2.

University Studies 11A-B-C Persuasion and Social Change I, II, III (5-5-5). GE: One course toward category I-equivalent of Writing 39C, one course toward category III, and two courses toward category IV.

University Studies 12A-B-C Computer Games as Art, Culture, and Technology I, II, III (5-5-5). GE: One course toward category I-equivalent of Writing 39C, one course toward category III, one course toward category IV, and one course toward category V.

University Studies 13A-B-C Environmental Studies I, II, III (5-5-5). GE: One course toward category I-equivalent of Writing 39C, two courses toward category II, and one course toward category III.

University Studies 14A-B-C Natural, Cultural, and Social Conditions of Music I, II, III (5-5-5). GE: One course toward category I-equivalent of Writing 39C, one course toward category II, one course toward category III, and one course toward category VII.

University Studies 15A-B-C Consciousness I, II, III (5-5-5) GE: One course toward category I-equivalent of Writing 39C, one course toward category III, and two courses toward category IV.

School, Departmental, and Major Requirements

In addition to the University and UCI requirements listed above, each undergraduate student must satisfy the degree requirements for the major and, if applicable, the minor or concentration selected. UCI, school, and departmental or major and minor requirements may overlap; courses taken to fulfill a school or departmental requirement may also help fulfill the UCI general education requirement. Students are urged to make sure that they understand how many courses are permitted to satisfy more than one requirement. Information on specific degree requirements and courses is available in the academic unit sections of this Catalogue.

Students must declare a major by the time they reach junior status (90 units excluding college work completed prior to high school graduation), and should make certain that the background and the preparation prerequisite to junior and senior work in the major have been accomplished. Transfer students should read the section on Information for Transfer Students: Fulfilling Requirements for a Bachelor's Degree.

Students should note that with the exception of courses designated Pass/Not Pass Only, courses taken Pass/Not Pass may not be used to satisfy specific course requirements of the student's school and major, unless authorized by the appropriate dean. Additional information on grading is located in the Academic Regulations and Procedures section.

Minor Programs

For certification in a minor, a student must obtain a minimum overall grade point average of at least C (2.0) in all courses required for the minor program. No more than two courses applied to a minor may be taken Pass/Not Pass. Completion of the minor is noted on a student's transcript. (Students are not required to minor in a program in order to graduate from UCI.)

Application for Graduation

In order to receive a degree, an undergraduate student must submit an online Application for Graduation via the Student Access link at http://www.reg.uci.edu no later than the published deadline. Specific deadline dates for filing are established quarterly so that candidates' academic records can be reviewed to verify that all graduation requirements have been met. These dates vary among academic units. Students should contact their academic counseling office for deadline and degree audit information.
