GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES:
See Academic Regulations-Undergraduate for specific TAMIU regulations.
COMBINED
BA/MA DEGREE
Undergraduate students with majors in English, History, Political
Science or Sociology may pursue a combined BA/MA program. Students with an overall GPA
of 3.2 or higher and a field GPA of 3.5 or higher (after completing at least
six 3000-4000 level SCH; 9 SCH in Political Science with 3 SCH at the 3000-4000
level) may apply for admission to the Master of Arts program during their
junior year. Students accepted into the program will begin taking graduate
courses during the senior year. Students must attain a "B" in their coursework to remain in and continue the combined program.
Students will need to complete all admission requirements
to the program during their junior year. This includes: Application to the
University for admission to graduate study, submission of an official copy of the student’s
undergraduate transcript and two letters of recommendation to the Director of Graduate Studies. One letter of recommendation must be from the student’s
faculty advisor and the other from another faculty member. The GRE requirement for
the Combined BA/MA will be waived so long as the student maintains continuous
registration (fall and spring semesters) through completion of the MA program.
The GRE waiver applies to the Combined BA/MA only. Interruption of progress
toward the degree may result in the requirement to reapply to the program
and include meeting the GRE requirement.
Students seeking the BA/MA degree in English, Political Science or Sociology may count nine SCH of graduate coursework taken during
the senior year toward both undergraduate and graduate degree requirements.
Students electing to complete the BA/MA in English or Sociology are eligible for either
the thesis or non-thesis option; in the non-thesis option, unlike the traditional
non-thesis MA in English or Sociology, there is no minor curriculum requirement. (That is, either15 SCH ENGL/SOCI graduate courses + 9 SCH double-counted ENGL/SOCI graduate courses + 6 SCH thesis hours = 30 SCH for the English/Sociology MA Thesis Plan; or 27 SCH ENGL/SOCI graduate courses + 9 ENGL/SOCI double-counted graduate courses = 36 SCH for the English/Sociology MA Non-Thesis Plan.)
Students seeking the BA/MA degree in History may count six
SCH of graduate coursework taken during the senior year toward both undergraduate
and graduate degree requirements. Students electing to complete the BA/MA
in History are eligible for either the thesis or non-thesis option; in the
non-thesis option, unlike the traditional non-thesis MA in History, there
is no minor curriculum requirement. (That is, either18 SCH HIST graduate courses + 6 SCH double-counted HIST graduate courses + 6 SCH thesis hours = 30 SCH for the History MA Thesis Plan; or 30 SCH HIST graduate courses + 6 HIST double-counted graduate courses = 36 SCH for the History MA Non-Thesis Plan.)
Teacher Certification
Students pursuing a Bachelors degree in the College of Arts and Sciences
may include teacher certification for Grades 4-8 or Grades 8-12. Teacher certification
in Grades 4-8 is available in the following specialization areas: English
Language Arts and Reading, Composite Social Studies, or English Language Arts
and Reading/Social Studies. Teacher certification in Grades 8-12 is offered
in the following areas: English Language Arts and Reading, History, Social
Studies, and Spanish.
Students interested in earning a degree with Teacher Certification
must declare their intention to do so in the Registrar's Office by completing
the required paperwork. Degree plans leading to Teacher Certification may
be obtained in the Registrar's Office or in the College of Arts and Sciences.
Students may contact the Certification Office for information
about requirements for Teacher Certification. Additional information is included
in the introduction section of the College of Education in this catalog.
LANGUAGE CERTIFICATION IN SPANISH
Students wishing to enhance career and personal opportunities are
encouraged to develop and refine their reading, writing, and speaking skills
in Spanish. As a means of officially recognizing high levels of proficiency
in the Spanish language for non-Spanish majors or Spanish minors, the University
awards a special notation of "Language Certification in Spanish"
on transcripts of those undergraduate or graduate students in any major who
complete the following Spanish courses with an overall 3.00 grade point average
|
|
|
|
|
Spanish 2320 |
|
Grammar and Composition |
|
Spanish 3317 |
|
Spanish Linguistics |
|
Spanish 4310 |
|
Advanced Grammar and Composition |
|
Spanish 4390 |
|
Spanish for Professional Purposes |
|
|
|
|
Students who complete these courses with the requisite grade
point average must request of the registrar that "Language Certification
in Spanish" be noted on their transcripts.
Bachelor of Social Work
The mission of the Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) program is to prepare
students for entry-level social work generalist practice. The program is open
to qualified students who have a liberal arts background and who are committed
to promoting the well being of all people and to pursuing economic and social
justice. Social and economic justice is the special focus of the program.
The effects of injustice and oppression for people living along the border
of Texas and Mexico are emphasized throughout the curriculum.
Generalist social work practice consists of the use of a
common body of knowledge and a common skill base linked by a common set of
values that is used in all fields of practice, transcends method of practice,
and is applied on the macro, mezzo and micro level of practice.
Completion of the Bachelor of Social Work degree does not
constitute or guarantee licensure. Students interested in acquiring the appropriate
level of State License after graduation must contact the Texas State Board
of Social Worker Examiners.
The Social Work program is currently in candidacy status
and making steady progress toward seeking accreditation from the Council on
Social Work Education.
Requirements for Admission to the Bachelor of Social
Work Program
The Social Work Program at Texas A&M International University
in Laredo maintains two classifications of undergraduate students enrolled
in its program: pre-social work majors and social work majors. Any student
who is admitted to the University with a minimum grade point average of 2.0
and is in good standing with the University may enroll in or transfer into
the Social Work Program as a pre-social work major. It is recommended that
students attending other colleges or universities who plan to receive a BSW
degree from Texas A&M International University transfer the second semester
of the sophomore year. This will give students one semester of transition,
the ability to complete SOCW 2361, an
opportunity to become acquainted with the faculty of the Program and to let
the Program know of any special needs prior to applying for admission to the
pre-social work major. All pre-social work and social work majors are considered
social work students and are under the auspices of the Social Work Program.
Admission to the Pre-Social Work Major
Admission to the Social Work Major is a two-tiered process, beginning
with admission to the Pre-Social Work Major. In addition to meeting the University's
admission requirements, prior to admission to the pre-social work major (pre-minor),
students seeking a degree in Social Work must:
- Submit an application packet petitioning for admission to the pre-major
containing:
A personal statement describing reason for the student's
interest in the profession.
A discussion of the personal qualities that indicate that social work
will be an appropriate choice of profession.
An official transcript indicating a GPA of at least 2.0.
Three sealed letters of reference from sources such as work supervisors,
former instructors, or supervisors of volunteer work.
A criminal background check report obtained from the police department.
- Complete an interview with the Social Work Program Director. After
a successful interview with the Social Work Program Director, the student
is sent a letter of admission to the pre-social work major and may then
take the first even course in the professional social work curriculum.
Admission to the Social Work Major
The student must submit a formal request to be admitted to the major.
Upon completion of the first seven courses in the professional social work
curriculum (SOCW 2361, 3301,
3302, 3303,
3304, 3305
AND 3306), a student may apply to become
a social work major.
In order to be admitted into the major, the student must:
- Have completed at least 45 semester hours of college coursework.
- Have completed at least 30 hours of liberal arts work as specified in
the degree plan.
- Have either a minimum overall university grade point average of 2.0
or a minimum grade point average over 2.5 on
courses transferred from another institution of higher learning.
- Have a minimum 2.5 grade point average in each of the social work prerequisite
courses with a minimum grade of C (2.0) in each: SOCW 2361,
3301, 3302,
3303, 3304,
3305 , 3306.
- Demonstrate qualities of emotional and professional preparedness for
work with clients. These include but are not limited to: communication
skills (oral and written), interpersonal skills, cognitive and physical
skills; emotional and mental stability (stress management, emotional and
mental capacity); professional performance skills (commitment, behavior,
self awareness, ethical conduct).
- Have completed an application for admission to the social work major
using the forms available in the Social Work Program Office.
- Have submitted the following to the Director of the Undergraduate Program
by the deadline in the BSW Handbook.
- A completed application for admission to the Professional Curriculum.
- A completed personal statement following the Program guidelines.
- At least two recommendations from social service agency supervisors
knowledgeable about the student's performance in the required SOCW
2361 and SOCW 3301
volunteer experiences. (The student must present two different experiences
that total at least 85 hours of direct client contact). If SOCW 2361
or equivalent was transferred into the program from another institution,
at least two completed recommendation forms from professionals in
the field and documentation showing successful completion of at least
45 hours of supervised volunteer experience involving direct contact
with clients in a human services organization are required.
- Official transcripts from all colleges if not already in the student's
file.
- Score reports for any credit earned by examination.
- Complete an interview with Program Director and Faculty of the BSW Program.
Acceptance of the applicant into the major is contingent on both academic
performance and commitment to suitability for general social work practice.
The decision of the program faculty is final, subject to appropriate review
procedures as outlined in the University Student Handbook.
PRE-LAW STUDENTS
To be eligible for admission to law school the student must have
completed a baccalaureate degree. In addition, each applicant to law school
must take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). This test is usually taken
during October of the senior year. While law schools consider a variety of
factors, the LSAT score and undergraduate performance are generally given
the most weight in determining which applicants will be admitted to a given
law school.
The first two years of study for pre-law students are similar
to the core curriculum courses taken by all students at Texas A&M International
University. The final two years will be used to fulfill the remaining requirements
of an undergraduate degree.
Law schools do not require that students select any particular
major or sequence of courses as undergraduates. However, according to the
Association of American Law Schools, a prelegal education should emphasize
oral and written communication skills, a critical understanding of social
institutions, and analytical thinking. Therefore, with regard to the selection
of appropriate electives, pre-law students should seek the advice of a pre-law
advisor in the College of Arts and Sciences.
The following courses are some of those recommended as electives
for the pre-law student: BA 3310, COMM
4323, ECO 1301
PSCI 3311, PSCI 3312,
PSCI 4311, PSCI 4326
or any 3000-4000 level English course.
In addition to helping pre-law students with the selection
of course electives, the pre-law advisor can assist students in obtaining
information about particular law schools, LSAT preparation, and the activities
of the pre-law student organization.
Pre-Medical and pre-Dental Program
Students seeking to qualify for entrance to professional schools
in medicine or dentistry are encouraged to meet regularly with an assigned
pre-health career advisor in the College of Arts and Sciences. Pre-Medical
and Pre-Dental advisors can tailor individual degree plans to meet the specific
entrance requirements for each discipline and professional school.
The vast majority of students entering medical or dental
school must complete four-years of college work. The curriculum offered by
the College of Arts and Sciences provides a solid foundation in biology,
chemistry, mathematics, and physics. However, a student does not have to major
in biology or chemistry to meet medical and dental school prerequisites as
long as the student successfully completes the following courses:

a discussion section may be indicated. This is in-class discussion in lieu
of a formal laboratory.
BACHELOR OF APPLIED ARTS AND SCIENCES
The Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences (BAAS) degree is an inverted
degree program specifically designed to allow individuals who hold an Associate
of Applied Arts and Sciences degree from an accredited institution with a
major in a technical/vocational area the opportunity to obtain a baccalaureate
degree without the significant loss of credits that normally
occurs in pursuing a traditional degree. The degree is designed to afford
academic depth to individuals who possess recognized competency in an occupational
or technical field. Thirty (30) hours of vocational/technical field courses
will be used as part of the lower-level requirements at the freshman/sophomore
level. In some instances individuals may be granted vocational/technical field
credit for work experience. This is not intended as a teacher preparation
degree.
*See the University Core Curriculum Requirements in Appendix A for
approved list of course options. Note:
At least 45 hours must be at the advanced level.
The BAAS degree will be awarded to individuals who complete
the following requirements:
