Art history involves the interdisciplinary study of the numerous ways in which the visual arts reflect, react to, and shape the world's
cultures. Given art history's dynamic intersections with such fields as anthropology, history, philosophy, psychology, studio art,
literature, and languages, it is not only a quintessential liberal arts major, but it allows many of our students to successfully double-
major. By teaching visual literacy, the art history curriculum prepares all students to critically analyze works of art, architecture, and
other forms of material culture, allowing them to become more knowledgeable interpreters of the visual world in which we live. In-depth
research projects allow majors and minors to not only synthesize existing scholarship, but also to formulate and articulate their own
ideas. Research, teaching, and administrative assistantships, in addition to museum or gallery internships, allow art history students to
further engage with the field and gain invaluable practical experience.
Objectives, Recommendations, and Program Student Learning Outcomes
The purposes of the art history curriculum are:
1) To develop students' understanding of a variety of historical traditions and methods of interpretation in the visual arts.
2) To develop and improve students' ability to analyze and interpret works of art through oral and written means.
3) To help students discover the rich and complex relationship of art to other aspects of culture.
4) To encourage students to have direct contact with art by means of studio art courses, class field trips and assignments, gallery
internships, and study abroad experiences.
The discipline also recommends four semesters of college-level courses in foreign language.
Through the various program objectives listed above, students will be introduced to, review, and have the opportunity to master at
different levels the following UMM student learning outcomes:
Knowledge of Human Cultures including core studies in the liberal arts, in-depth study of a particular field, and engagement with big
questions.
Relevant Intellectual and Practical Skills including critical thinking & problem-solving; creative thinking & artistic expression; visual
literacy; and written, multi-media, and oral communication.
An Understanding of the Roles of Individuals in Society including intercultural knowledge and competence, as well as aesthetic/artistic

Required credits in this minor: 24
Art history involves the interdisciplinary study of the numerous ways in which the visual arts reflect, react to, and shape the worlds
cultures. Given art historys dynamic intersections with such fields as anthropology, history, philosophy, psychology, studio art, literature,
and languages, it is not only a quintessential liberal arts major, but it allows many of our students to successfully double-major. By
teaching visual literacy, the art history curriculum prepares all students to critically analyze works of art, architecture, and other forms of
material culture, allowing them to become more knowledgeable interpreters of the visual world in which we live. In-depth research
projects allow majors and minors to not only synthesize existing scholarship, but also to formulate and articulate their own ideas.
Research, teaching, and administrative assistantships, in addition to museum or gallery internships, allow art history students to further
engage with the field and gain invaluable practical experience.
Objectives, Recommendations, and Program Student Learning Outcomes:
The purposes of the art history curriculum are:
1) To develop students' understanding of a variety of historical traditions and methods of interpretation in the visual arts.
2) To develop and improve students' ability to analyze and interpret works of art through oral and written means.
3) To help students discover the rich and complex relationship of art to other aspects of culture.
4) To encourage students to have direct contact with art by means of studio art courses, class field trips and assignments, gallery
internships, and study abroad experiences.
The discipline also recommends four semesters of college-level courses in a foreign language.
Through the various program objectives listed above, students will be introduced to, review, and have the opportunity to master at
different levels the following UMM student learning outcomes:
Knowledge of human cultures including core studies in the liberal arts, in-depth study of a particular field, and engagement with big
questions.
Relevant intellectual and practical skills including critical thinking & problem-solving; creative thinking and artistic expression; visual
literacy; and written, multi-media, and oral communication.
An understanding of the roles of individuals in society including intercultural knowledge and competence, as well as aesthetic/artistic
engagement.
Capacity for integrative learning, including synthesis and advanced accomplishment across general and specialized studies and
through co- and extra-curricular activities; application of knowledge, skills, and responsibilities to new settings and progressively more
complex problems; and skills for sustained learning and personal development.

The computer science curriculum is designed to not only provide a solid background in fundamentals, but also to continuously respond
to rapid changes in the field of computing by equipping our students with modern tools, approaches, and cutting-edge concepts and
technologies. Coursework in computer science spans three core areas of computing, including theory, software development, and
systems. Beginning computer science courses are open to non-majors and satisfy the mathematical and symbolic reasoning
component of the general education requirements. All computer science majors must complete a senior seminar capstone experience,
and the discipline prides itself on the high quality of students' papers and presentations in this course. The program also includes
mathematics or statistics in the required coursework. The computer science discipline is dedicated to offering a flexible set of important
and relevant electives, which we update annually. Student input informs the electives we offer, and student input has inspired the
creation of several electives.
Computer science majors develop software, explore hardware systems, and apply theoretical concepts. Reflecting the collaborative
nature of today's world, team work is heavily integrated into computer science coursework. Students are encouraged to use and
supplement their formal education through research opportunities, internship experiences, programming and robotics competitions, and
student and professional organizations. Many students take advantage of the opportunity to collaborate with computer science faculty
on research projects, presenting the results at international, national, and regional conferences, as well as at UMM's Undergraduate
Research Symposium.
Study in computer science is required for management and math majors at UMM, as well as for students pursuing a variety of pre-
engineering programs. Many UMM computer science majors enter the job market upon graduation, primarily in the computing industry.
Others pursue postgraduate work toward a masters or doctoral degree in computing, business, library science, or a variety of other
fields.
The student learning objectives of the computer science program span the following five categories:
Students will be able to apply fundamental principles of computer science to solve problems in all core areas of computer science.
Students will demonstrate technological flexibility through the ability to employ new sets of tools effectively.
Students will be able to communicate technical ideas effectively both orally and in written form.
Students will demonstrate their ability to work in groups as part of an effective team.
Students will be able to identify and analyze ethical implications involving technology.

N/A
Data science is one of the fastest growing segments in the modern economy. It is inherently multidisciplinary and offers high job
satisfaction. The Division of Science and Math is dedicated to "quality undergraduate instruction in the natural and mathematical
sciences so that its graduates are well prepared to seek employment at the B.A. level, to enter graduate or professional school, or to
teach at the secondary school level."
UMM is also dedicated to "preparing its students to be global citizens who value and pursue intellectual growth, civic engagement,
intercultural competence, and environmental stewardship." Being an informed global citizen and making informed decisions about
public policy (civic engagement) and environmental issues (stewardship) is enhanced by the ability to understand, interpret, and
analyze data-- all skills developed by the minor. Jobs not directly data-related are increasingly data-driven and the more data-savvy a
student, the more prepared they will be to pursue their aspirations.
Although the majority of courses in the minor are Stats and CSci, data science has its own techniques, concerns, and professional
communities. A data science minor will aid students interested in pursuing a career in data science or one that entails working with data
scientists. A strong industry drive for practitioners to develop 'non-technical coursework' strongly aligns with the values of a liberal arts
education and provides students the opportunity to leverage non-technical interests and coursework to increase their attractiveness to
potential employers and graduate programs.
Objectives:
Familiarize students with the techniques and foundational material necessary for students to pursue future studies or careers in data
science.
Ensure that students understand the ethical implications inherent in the data science field.
Develop the knowledge, skills, and experiences necessary to properly deal with data (data acumen).
Ensure that students can properly communicate data science ideas and results to both broad and specialized audiences.
Learning Outcomes:
Students will gain the ability to apply knowledge of data science to other disciplines
Students will develop their data acumen.
Students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the ethical implications inherent in the data science discipline.
Students will be able to communicate data science ideas and results to both broad and specialized audiences effectively using
presentation skills and visualizations.

Program Type: Baccalaureate
Requirements for this program are current for Fall 2021
Required credits to graduate with this degree: 120
Required credits within the major: 40 to 48
Degree: Bachelor of Arts
In English, students study literature and language, including its development over time and contemporary significance. Courses for both
majors and non-majors offer a wide range of approaches and topics. Some courses focus on single authors, genres, or historical
periods; others emphasize social contexts of literature, investigate representations of race or gender, or explore literary perceptions of
the environment. Still, others cover film, creative writing, and contemporary popular literature.
English offers a Creative Writing Track for English majors and a Creative Writing Minor for non-majors. The Creative Writing program
includes introductory classes in the techniques of poetry and prose writing, advanced classes in genres such as fiction, poetry, and
creative nonfiction, and a variety of topics courses.
Objectives--The curriculum introduces students to the main literary genres and important historical periods and movements in English;
to representative works of British, American, and Anglophone literature; and to methods of critical interpretation. The major is designed
to meet the needs of students with various goals, including those seeking a foundation for work in fields related to English (e.g.,
education, communications, editing and publishing, law, theater); those who want a humanistic base in reading, thinking, and writing for
a liberal arts education; and those who intend to pursue graduate study in the field. Students engage in critical reading, oral and written
analysis of texts, formal argumentation, and research.
English classes tend to be small and conversational. Students collaborate with one another by discussing subtle and complex texts
while discovering their own interpretive voices by writing clear and persuasive essays.
Program Student Learning Outcomes
Students will:
1. Be able to analyze both primary and secondary texts;
2. Be able to write a coherent argument, both with and without secondary sources;
3. Develop writing skills and processes in order to achieve specific writing goals;
4. Demonstrate basic knowledge of critical approaches and practices of literary study;
5. Demonstrate basic knowledge of literary history.
Program Delivery
This program is available:
via classroom (the majority of instruction is face-to-face)

Program Type: Undergraduate minor related to major
Requirements for this program are current for Fall 2021
Required credits in this minor: 20
In English, students study literature and language, including its development over time and contemporary significance. Courses for both
majors and non-majors offer a wide range of approaches and topics. Some courses focus on single authors, genres, or historical
periods; others emphasize social contexts of literature, investigate representations of race or gender, or explore literary perceptions of
the environment. Still, others cover film, creative writing, and contemporary popular literature.
Objectives--The curriculum introduces students to the main literary genres and important historical periods and movements in English;
to representative works of British, American, and Anglophone literature; and to methods of critical interpretation. Students engage in
critical reading, oral and written analysis of texts, formal argumentation, and research.
English classes tend to be small and conversational. Students collaborate with one another by discussing subtle and complex texts
while discovering their own interpretive voices by writing clear and persuasive essays.

Program Type: Baccalaureate
Requirements for this program are current for Fall 2021
Required credits to graduate with this degree: 120
Required credits within the major: 60
This program requires summer terms.
Degree: Bachelor of Arts
Geology offers courses that satisfy a variety of requirements, as well as a curriculum leading to a bachelor of arts degree in geology.
Objectives The mission of the geology discipline is provide a firm foundation in the geological and cognate sciences for students
interested in the investigation and solution of geologic problems; to prepare students for graduate study in the geosciences; to provide
the necessary background in earth science for those who plan to teach in this field at the secondary level; and to serve those in other
professional or interdisciplinary programs who need a basic understanding of the geosciences.
The geology curriculum serves the liberal arts by offering courses that allow students to gain a better appreciation of the natural
environment; increase their awareness of the impact of dynamic geological events and processes on society; help them recognize the
importance of Earth resources, and introduce them to the methodologies and reasoning used in the sciences.
The geology curriculum is designed to provide students with a understanding of the evolution of the Earth as a planetary body and the
fundamental geologic principles used to reconstruct Earth history; how to recognize geologic features and Earth materials, and to infer
the processes responsible for their formation; and provide the requisite skill set to solve geologic problems. The curriculum seeks to
help students hone their observation skills in order to interpret geology in a natural setting, emphasizing the integration of knowledge
acquired in the classroom. The curriculum stresses familiarization with current geologic literature, and encourages critical thinking in
both approaching research problems and evaluating the literature. The geology program encourages students to pursue independent
research projects and has an outstanding track record of student involvement in research. The curriculum is also designed to help
students develop and enhance their oral and written communication skills. The curriculum prepares students to enter graduate school
and/or find careers as professional geologists.

This is an interdisciplinary program housed in the Division of the Humanities. The program is administered by the German studies
coordinator and the chair of the Division of the Humanities.
The German studies curriculum includes the language, literature, film, linguistics, history, and culture of German-speaking countries
and Germanic languages. The courses are designed to enhance students' understanding of their own language and culture through
introduction to another. Our courses expand students' ability to think by giving them a new tool with which to do so. The courses are
carefully sequenced to incrementally increase student aptitude in the one skill upon which everything else they could possibly do or
study relies: language. Expansion of thought in any field of study requires the acquisition of new language. Learning the German
language provides students with direct access to the world's fourth largest economy as well as the sister economies of the other
German-speaking countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). Additionally students gain intimate knowledge of a linguistic tradition and
culture that has produced innovation in almost every field of study pursued on campus, thereby benefiting students regardless of their
main area of concentration.
Objectives - Learning an entirely new linguistic idiom increases one's ability to think, and neurological studies have shown that it
actually grows brain cells. Our primary goal is to enable students to become culturally competent. We have constructed the curriculum
to increase students' confidence and social skills by capitalizing on their innate and extant ability to use language and by demonstrating
to them that they can acquire another language, while also providing an understanding of language itself that will enable them to
acquire further languages. The intellectual and practical skills enable students to gain a deeper understanding of the roles of individuals
in society, as well as building upon their capacity for integrative learning. Our program aims to provide students with opportunities that
will enable them to directly apply newly acquired linguistic abilities, cultural knowledge, and social skills in their chosen area of study
through study abroad, internships, and professional exchanges.
Program Student Learning Outcomes
Students will be able to understand the main idea and most supporting details of written or listening texts in the target language.
Students will be able to express themselves, in speaking and in writing, in the past, present, and future in the target language.
Students will be able to interpret cultural artifacts, texts, and films with accuracy, demonstrating knowledge of the target cultures that
produced them.
Students work will reflect an awareness of their own cultural biases and articulate the inherent complexities, worldviews, and values of
other cultures.
Students will be able to locate, apply, and cite effective secondary materials in their own work.
Study Abroad
In light of today's increasingly interdependent world, the German faculty strongly encourages study abroad in combination with a
German Studies major or minor.

culture that has produced innovation in almost every field of study pursued on campus, thereby benefiting students regardless of their
main area of concentration.
Objectives - Learning an entirely new linguistic idiom increases one's ability to think, and neurological studies have shown that it
actually grows brain cells. Our primary goal is to enable students to become culturally competent. We have constructed the curriculum
to increase students' confidence and social skills by capitalizing on their innate and extant ability to use language and by demonstrating
to them that they can acquire another language, while also providing an understanding of language itself that will enable them to
acquire further languages. The intellectual and practical skills enable students to gain a deeper understanding of the roles of individuals
in society, as well as building upon their capacity for integrative learning. Our program aims to provide students with opportunities that
will enable them to directly apply newly acquired linguistic abilities, cultural knowledge, and social skills in their chosen area of study
through study abroad, internships, and professional exchanges.
Program Student Learning Outcomes
Students will be able to understand the main idea and most supporting details of written or listening texts in the target language.
Students will be able to express themselves, in speaking and in writing, in the past, present, and future in the target language.
Students will be able to interpret cultural artifacts, texts, and films with accuracy, demonstrating knowledge of the target cultures that
produced them.
Students work will reflect an awareness of their own cultural biases and articulate the inherent complexities, worldviews, and values of
other cultures.
Students will be able to locate, apply, and cite effective secondary materials in their own work.
Study Abroad
In light of today's increasingly interdependent world, the German faculty strongly encourages study abroad in combination with a
German Studies major or minor.

Requirements for this program are current for Fall 2021
Required credits to graduate with this degree: 12
This program is 8 terms (4 years) long.
The Honors Program offers students an opportunity to pursue an intentional interdisciplinary and interdivisional curriculum and work
toward graduation with honors.
Honors courses, limited to a class size of 15, are interdisciplinary in nature and often team-taught by faculty from different academic
divisions, and concern subjects of special interest to the faculty members who design them. All UMN Morris students are eligible to
apply to the Honors Program. Admitted students usually take the required core course, IS 2001H-Traditions in Human Thought, in the
fall of their second year. Honors students then complete at least 8 credits of interdisciplinary honors course electives and a 2-credit
honors capstone project; the capstone is a substantial scholarly or creative interdisciplinary work designed by each student working
cooperatively with an interdisciplinary panel of three faculty and includes a culminating project defense.
Learning Outcomes
1. Connections among disciplines. Student demonstrate an understanding of interdisciplinary inquiry and a recognition of its centrality in
the liberal arts setting in general and the Honors Program in particular.
2. Engagement with big questions, both contemporary and enduring. Students are active members of intellectual communities within
and beyond Honors classes.
3. Sustainable learning. Students develop across disciplines and academic divisions a strong foundation of lifelong learning.

Program Type: Baccalaureate
Requirements for this program are current for Fall 2021
Required credits to graduate with this degree: 120
Required credits within the major: 35 to 38
Degree: Bachelor of Arts
Latin American Area Studies (LAAS) is an interdisciplinary program at Morris. Latin American countries have been our allies, our
enemies, our trading partners, and our friends. Our history is entangled with the history of the region south of the US border. We
influence their culture, and they influence ours. In LAAS, we study Latin American history and culture using a wide variety of
perspectives and methods. When you study in the LAAS discipline you will acquire a basic introduction to Latin American cultures and
societies; the means essential to gain an understanding of Latin America and its diverse peoples; and an understanding of Latin
America in a comparative perspective.
Objectives:
To provide a basic introduction to the cultures and societies of Latin America, to provide the means essential to gain an understanding
of Latin America and its diverse peoples, and to place Latin America in a comparative perspective.
To meet these objectives, three of our core courses engage students in learning about the histories, contemporary events, and
research resources on Latin America. In addition, all of our electives courses introduce students to a diversity of significant topics on
Latin America, ranging from language proficiency, literature courses on Latin American cultures, issues of social justice, race, gender,
migration, development, politics, economics, revolutions, and more. Our Senior Capstone course immerses students in gaining a
deeper understanding of selected topics on Latin America. Together, our courses engender greater comprehension of Latin America,
language comprehension and communication skills, important analytical skills, greater inter-cultural sensitivity and empathy, and ability
to conduct research and compose well-written research papers.
Program Student Learning Outcomes:
1. Students will be able to think critically and communicate effectively, through informed understandings of Latin America, on issues of
historical, social, economic, and political processes affecting the region.
2. Students will be able to locate relevant research resources and apply them in conducting research on Latin America.
3. Students will be able to competently compare and contrast the different countries and regions of Latin America from the perspective
of its diverse human populations and societies.
4. Students will be able to apply an interdisciplinary perspective to gain a deeper understanding of Latin America.

Program Type: Undergraduate minor related to major
Requirements for this program are current for Fall 2021
Required credits in this minor: 27 to 30
Latin American Area Studies (LAAS) is an interdisciplinary program at Morris. Latin American countries have been our allies, our
enemies, our trading partners, and our friends. Our history is entangled with the history of the region south of the US border. We
influence their culture and they influence ours. In LAAS, we study Latin American history and culture using a wide variety of
perspectives and methods. When you study in the LAAS discipline you will acquire a basic introduction to Latin American cultures and
societies; the means essential to gain an understanding of Latin America and its diverse peoples; and an understanding of Latin
America in a comparative perspective.
The objectives of an LAAS minor will be to expose more students to important historical and current concerns regarding Latin America.
They will meet the same student learning objectives as majors: to acquire 1) A basic introduction to Latin American cultures and
societies; 2) the means essential to gain an understanding of Latin America and its diverse peoples; and 3) an understanding of Latin
America in a comparative perspective.

Objectives--The mission of the discipline is to advance knowledge of mathematics by teaching mathematics and its processes, by
research in mathematics and mathematical pedagogy, and by dissemination of this knowledge to students and the community we
serve.
Historically, the study of mathematics has been central to a liberal arts education. The mathematics curriculum serves as an integral
part of students' active pursuit of a liberal arts education. The mathematics program serves students who major or minor in
mathematics, seek secondary mathematics teaching licensure, major or minor in programs that require a mathematical background, or
wish to fulfill components of a general education.
The mathematics curriculum is designed to help students develop competence in problem-solving, mathematical techniques and
methods; to sharpen students' mathematical intuition and abstract reasoning, as well as their quantitative literacy. The curriculum is
also designed to encourage and stimulate the type of independent and critical thinking required for research beyond the confines of the
textbook. It provide students with the basic knowledge and skills to make mathematical contributions to modern society. The
mathematics program enables students to do in-depth and independent mathematics-related research projects that require students to
integrate their mathematical knowledge from different areas, and to enhance their communication skills by way of written reports and
oral presentations. The program seeks to enable students to observe and communicate how the development of mathematics has been
part of historical and current cultural and scientific developments. The curriculum prepares students to enter graduate school, pursue
careers in applied mathematics, or teach mathematics.

Program Type: Baccalaureate
Requirements for this program are current for Fall 2021
Required credits to graduate with this degree: 120
Required credits within the major: 36 to 40
Degree: Bachelor of Arts
Medieval and Ancient Studies (MAS) is an interdisciplinary major and minor in the humanities division, administered by the medieval
studies faculty and the chair of the humanities division.
Medieval Studies examines primarily European literature and culture from roughly 500 to 1500 CE. Ancient Studies examines the
languages, literatures, cultures, and material remains of human societies from roughly 3000 BCE to 500 CE. The two overlapping fields
include anthropology, archaeology, art history, English, history, math, philosophy, political science, theatre, music, world languages,
and areas such as gender and religion with historical roots in ancient and classical periods and Byzantine cultures. These fields provide
an opportunity for students to think synthetically across disciplines.
Coursework in Medieval Studies enhances understanding of artistic and material relics of the Middle Ages (manuscripts, cookbooks,
Gothic cathedrals, Crusader castles, and picturesque towns cramped within ancient walls) and many of the foundational choices that
have made the world what it is today, for good and ill. Many current challenges in the fields of Western law, human rights, attitudes
toward power, authority, gender relations, and sexual mores derive from the ways in which these were viewed a millennium ago.
Coursework in Ancient Studies enhances understanding of literary and material relics of the ancient world on all continents: the
languages and cultures of the Americas prior to European colonization, Greek dramas, Roman mosaics, classical Latin, the writings of
Plato and Aristotle, prehistoric cultures of Asia and Africa, and ancient Athenian democracy. The cultures of the ancient world built the
foundations of art, thought, literature, architecture, religion, and politics on which much of the modern world still rests, for better or
worse.
Program Student Learning Outcomes
Students explore implications and intersections of products of the medieval world across disciplinary, chronological, and geographical
barriers. The medieval studies major prepares students for graduate study in many academic fields as well as internship and career
opportunities from museum curating to education, law, and data analysis.
In the core courses for the medieval studies major, students develop:
Familiarity with diverse methodologies and critical paradigms to analyze, interpret, and synthesize various types of evidence for the
medieval period
Reading, writing skills, and critical thinking skills
Skills for reading medieval primary texts in their original language
Analytical skills in art history, history, and literature while studying how the past, including language, is not a fixed entity
Familiarity with range of medieval culture, language, and thought to allow meaningful exploration of the human experience in the
Middle Ages and Antiquity
Insight into the construction of belief, culture, and knowledge in the Middle Ages as reflective of personal and social contexts
Program Delivery
This program is available:
via classroom (the majority of instruction is face-to-face)
Admission Requirements

Program Requirements
Students are required to take 2 semester(s) of Latin.
Students must complete a significant amount of coursework in Medieval and Ancient studies at UMN Morris, but are also strongly
encouraged to study abroad or on other campuses. In order to count study abroad toward the major, all students must procure formal
approval of coursework from the Medieval and Ancient Studies steering committee prior to departure. (Typically, no more than 9 credits
for one semester abroad or 16 credits for a year abroad may count toward the major.) Students interested in a foreign study experience
may complete Engl 3163 in York, England; Hum 1006 in Rome, Italy; or IS 3053; offered periodically in summer terms. Other study
abroad programs may be considered toward this degree program in consultation with the Medieval and Ancient Studies faculty.
Medieval and Ancient Studies is by nature interdisciplinary. Students are responsible for developing a coherent program from the
elective choices available. Work with a Medieval and Ancient Studies faculty member to see how a careful selection of your General
Education courses can enhance your knowledge of the field. Program faculty strongly recommend at least one year of study in another
world language in addition to Latin.
No grades below C- may count toward the Medieval and Ancient Studies major. Only 4 credits may be taken S/N unless other courses
are offered S/N only. No more than 60% of courses toward the MAS major may come from a single discipline.
A minimum GPA of 2.00 is required in the major to graduate. The GPA includes all, and only, University of Minnesota coursework.
Grades of "F" are included in GPA calculation until they are replaced.
Required Courses
Lat 1002 requires Lat 1001 as a prerequisite. One or both courses may be satisfied through a proctored proficiency exam or transfer
credit. Students who begin their Morris careers beyond Latin 1002 earn a four-credit exemption from the major.

The music curriculum is designed to develop not only musical and performance skills, but also to investigate the many ways that music
can help us understand human culture and history. This curriculum meshes the liberal arts model of breadth of knowledge with applied
lessons, ensembles, and theory/history of music.
Program Student Learning Outcomes:
1. Musicianship: Students will demonstrate proficiency in aural and keyboard musicianship.
2. Performance: In their area of specialization, students will study and perform a wide range of music literature, communicating
character and style and engaging with the listener in an assured manner.
3. Music in a historic and cultural context: Students will develop the ability to discuss music critically, examine the role of music in
culture, and consider the various ways people understand meaningful expression in music.
4. Music theory: Students will demonstrate proficiency in reading and writing scales, chords, and rhythms, show an understanding of
contrapuntal techniques and formal structures, and analyze pieces using appropriate analytical techniques.

Division of Education
Division of Education
Program Type: Other
Requirements for this program are current for Fall 2021
Required credits to graduate with this degree: 41 to 43
This program is 8 terms (4 years) long.
This discipline is in the Division of Education. A separate admissions process must be completed and admission granted before
students can enroll in this program.
The secondary education program leads to Minnesota licensure as a teacher in specified liberal arts disciplines.
Program Student Learning Outcomes (PSLOs)-Coursework in secondary education is designed to meet standards of effective practice
required for licensure and provide prospective teachers with opportunities to do the following:
Understand central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of disciplines taught in the middle and secondary school;
Understand adolescent development theory, individual and group motivation, and diversity among learners;
Create instructional opportunities adapted to learners from diverse cultural backgrounds and with exceptionalities;
Use instructional strategies and technologies that reflect personal knowledge of effective verbal, nonverbal, and media communication
techniques;
Encourage development of critical thinking, problem solving, and performance skills;
Understand and use formative and summative methods of student assessment;
Collaborate with parents/guardians, families, school colleagues, and the community in an ethical manner.
To obtain a teaching license, an individual must have completed a major, a bachelor's degree, and licensure requirements in the
area(s) in which licensure is sought. UMM is approved to recommend teaching licensure in the following fields: chemistry (9-12),
communication arts and literature (5-12), general science (5-8), instrumental music (K-12), life science (9-12), mathematics (5-12),
physics (9-12), social studies (5-12), Spanish (K-12), visual arts (K-12), and vocal music (K-12).
Coursework required for licensure, in most cases, is not equivalent to a major. Consult an advisor in the discipline to determine major
requirements.
Students planning to seek Minnesota teaching licensure at the secondary school level must complete licensure requirements in the
discipline(s) of the subject(s) they intend to teach, the secondary teacher education program, and state and federally mandated
examinations for new teachers. Students must be in good academic standing, not on probation and not returning from suspension to be
admitted. In addition, a minimum GPA of 2.75 is required in licensure area(s) and in education prerequisite courses. A minimum GPA
of 2.50 is required overall. The GPA includes all course work. Grades of "F" are included in GPA calculation until they are replaced. All
courses required for teaching licensure in secondary education (discipline, professional education, or other courses) must be completed
with a grade of C- or better. Required courses must be taken A-F, unless they are offered S/N only.
Program Delivery
This program is available:
via classroom (the majority of instruction is face-to-face)
Admission Requirements
Students must complete 90 credits before admission to the program.
A GPA above 2.0 is preferred for the following:
2.75 already admitted to the degree-granting college
2.75 transferring from another University of Minnesota college
2.75 transferring from outside the University
For admission to the one-year program which begins each fall, students must apply in the fall of the preceding year. Decisions are
made in the spring.
Transfer students must be admitted to UMM before admission to the secondary program can be offered. Transfer students should seek
academic advising from the secondary education faculty before application to the program.

Sustainability Leadership Minor
M Acad Dean's Admin
Academic Affairs
Program Type: Undergraduate free-standing minor
Requirements for this program are current for Fall 2021
Required credits in this minor: 20 to 24
Sustainability leadership is an interdisciplinary minor. The program is administered on a rotating basis by 2-3 affiliated faculty and staff
with oversight by the dean.
The interdisciplinary field of sustainability leadership is designed for students who wish to promote environmental, social, and economic
sustainability in their personal and professional lives. The minor provides an opportunity for students in any academic major to develop
key competencies that will be the foundation for their growth as sustainability leaders in their civic and professional endeavors.
Coursework in sustainability leadership requires a core course in environmental problems and policy that will provide students with a
foundation for considering what "sustainability" means. Courses in communication, diverse perspectives and ethical issues, and the
interconnectedness of systems build on that core. All students must also participate in a co-curricular leadership skills series of
workshops and undertake a community-engaged learning project that will provide practical experience in leadership and immersive
experience in sustainability (that is, an opportunity to engage, observe and learn in depth about sustainability challenges and solutions
related to the student's chosen theme). Students have options in each set of requirements and in an additional elective for how they
choose to define further their understanding of sustainability and leadership in the areas of communication, ethics, human interactions,
environmental issues, and more.
Objectives
On all levels, students explore the implications and intersections of sustainability and leadership within and across disciplines. The
sustainability leadership minor works well with any major to prepare students for graduate study as well as various internship or career
opportunities.
Program Student Learning Outcomes
In the core courses for the sustainability leadership minor, students will:
* Describe human-environment interactions and related problems and policies
* Communicate about issues of sustainability to the public and diverse audiences
* Analyze and interpret multiple perspectives related to decision-making and leadership
* Reflect on personal and social contexts that lead to construction of belief, culture, and knowledge.
Program Delivery
This program is available:
via classroom (the majority of instruction is face-to-face)
Minor Requirements
Students must complete a significant amount of coursework in sustainability leadership at UMM but are also strongly encouraged to
study abroad or on other campuses. In order to count study abroad toward the minor, all students must procure formal approval of
coursework from the sustainability minor steering committee prior to departure. (Typically, no more than 6 credits from study abroad
may count toward the minor.) Students who wish to make any exceptions or substitutions for minor requirements must petition and be
approved by the program. Sustainability leadership is by nature interdisciplinary.
No grades below C- may count toward the sustainability leadership minor. No courses may be taken S/N unless offered S/N only.
A minimum GPA of 2.00 is required in the major to graduate. The GPA includes all, and only, University of Minnesota coursework.
Grades of "F" are included in GPA calculation until they are replaced.
Required Courses
A minimum of 20 credit is required for the minor.
Some courses may require completion of prerequisites. Students should review the prerequisites listed in the catalog or class
