COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE, ARTS AND HUMANITIES 2001-2002 Architecture (BA) Construction Science and Management (BS) English (BA) Fine Arts (BFA) History (BA) Landscape Architecture (BS) Language and International Trade (BA) Modern Languages (BA) Philosophy (BA) Speech and Communication Studies (BA) Minors Offered   COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE, ARTS, AND HUMANITIES The collaboration of Architecture (Landscape Architecture, Construction Science and Management, City and Regional Planning, and Architecture) with Arts (Visual Arts and Performing Arts) and the Humanities (English, History, Languages, Philosophy and Religion, and Speech and Communication Studies) produces a remarkably rich environment for study. The mixture of core disciplines with applied professsions/disciplines in the College provides both depth and breadth in learning. This structure affords students and faculty with skills that address the complex and interconnected challenges of the future, where it is no longer possible for these problems to be solved in a single discipline or profession. It is through the connections and communication between specialized knowledge areas that significant cultural progress will be made. These kinds of thoughts and actions form a fundamental part of the College of Architecture, Arts, and Humanities. To illustrate these ideas, consider the diversity of communication skills practiced and taught in the College. Students learn graphic and artistic communication, technical communication with computers, spoken communication, and communication through the written word. Each skill is vital to a successful student, and it is the collaboration between these forms of communication that prepares students for the complex challenges of the future. SCHOOL OF DESIGN AND BUILDING AND SCHOOL OF THE ARTS The Bachelor of Arts in Architecture degree is the preprofessional preparation for two years of graduate study leading to the Master of Architecture degree, which is the fully accredited professional degree in the field. The accredited Bachelor of Science in Construction Science and Management program prepares students for careers as professional managers in the construction industry. A graduate program is also offered leading to the Master of Construction Science and Management. The Fine Arts program offers professional study in the studio visual arts leading to the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. A graduate program leading to the Master of Fine Arts is also offered. The accredited five-year Bachelor of Landscape Architecture degree program prepares students for careers as professional landscape architects. A graduate program in City and Regional Planning is housed within the school and accepts graduates from a variety of baccalaureate programs and prepares them for careers in both public and private sector planning through its Master of City and Regional Planning degree. In addition to the facilities housed on the Clemson campus, the College offers students the opportunity to study at two off-campus sites. The center at the College of Charleston is available to third- and fourth-year architecture and fourth-year landscape architecture students for a semester's study while earning credit from both Clemson University and the College of Charleston. The Charles E. Daniel Center for Building Research and Urban Studies in Genoa, Italy, provides graduate students and upper division undergraduates in the above mentioned programs a semester's residence in an intensive program of study and travel while earning full credit toward their degrees. Entrance Requirements Admission to degree programs in the School of Design and Building and the School of the Arts is based on academic performance and is limited based on space availability in the various programs. Students seeking admission are advised to apply to the Admissions Office early in the fall of their senior year in high school. They are also encouraged to visit the school during their senior year. Faculty are available to meet with them and their parents informally and answer questions and discuss individual programs in more detail. Prospective students may schedule appointments by calling the individual department. Change of Major When space is available, a student may change majors to one of the degree programs in the School of Design and Building with a 2.5 cumulative grade-point ratio, at least 30 credit hours earned, and design aptitude evidenced by a portfolio review (in the case of the Architecture discipline) or by approval of the department chair. Advancement in Architecture Students enrolled in second-, third-, or fourth-year design studios and theory courses must attain at least a 2.0 grade-point ratio in each year level (by repeating one or both semesters, if necessary) to qualify for advancement to the next year level or in the case of fourth-year Architecture studios, to qualify for the Architecture degree, or in Landscape Architecture at the fifth year to qualify for the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture degree. SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES The Bachelor of Arts degree is offered in English, History, Language and International Trade, Modern Languages, Philosophy, and Speech and Communication Studies. To achieve depth as well as breadth in their educational experiences, students majoring in English, History, Modern Languages, Philosophy, or Speech and Communication Studies complete at least 24 semester hours from courses above the sophomore level. As soon as feasible and not later than the end of the sophomore year, students in these fields also select a minor, consisting of at least 15 additional semester hours. Courses satisfying the major may not also be included in the minor. A second major (a double major) may substitute for the minor, provided all requirements are fulfilled for each major. The Bachelor of Arts in English, History, Modern Languages, Philosophy, and Speech and Communication Studies requires 130 total semester credits; Language and International Trade requires 129­137, depending on the concentration. Of these, at least 12 credits must be earned in humanities courses numbered 300 or higher (A A H 210, MUSIC 210 and THEA 210 excepted) and at least 12 credits in social science courses numbered 300 or higher. The humanities for this purpose are considered to include art and architectural history, English (except 304, 312, 314, 316, 331, 333, 334, 335, 485, 490, 495), languages, music, philosophy, religion, speech (except 362 and 364), theatre (except 377, 487, and 497), and women's studies, as well as courses entitled humanities. The social sciences for this purpose are considered to include agricultural and applied economics, anthropology, economics, geography, history, political science, psychology, and sociology. The foreign language requirement in humanities is a proficiency requirement. Students must complete through 202 in Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Portuguese, Russian, or Spanish. Students enrolled in degree programs offered in the humanities who expect to teach in the public schools may elect education courses required for teaching certificates by the South Carolina State Department of Education. Such courses are to be approved by their own department advisors. Students may transfer into the Undeclared category in the Humanities only if they have completed 45 or fewer credit hours.
