Teacher Certification Program: A student may obtain teaching certification by completing SED 374, 383, 392, 394, 464, 480, 496, 497. These courses can be incorporated into the electives under the Bachelor of Arts program. It should be noted that state law requires that a person have a minimum of 24 hours in a second teaching field. This normally will increase the minor to 24 semester hours (12 advanced hours). In addition, 12 hours of ENG (ENG 164, 165 and 6 hrs. from ENG 265, 275, 285, 295, and 373), either SCM 161 or SCM 384, and 3 hours of CS are required. Bilingual Teacher Education Program: Students in this program are seeking elementary certification with a bilingual emphasis. Six hours of advanced Spanish chosen from SPN 361, 367, 368, and 470 are required for the program. Foreign Language Requirement: The 12-14 semester hour requirement consists of four courses in one language: 141, 142, 263, 264. These courses must be taken in sequence. No two courses in the series may be taken concurrently without the express approval of the Program Coordinator. The requirement reads Ò12-14 hoursÓ in order to accommodate transfer students from institutions that award only 3 hours credit for each semester of the first year. Placement Examination: The University offers a placement examination in order to determine the level of a student's high school foreign language preparation. Both credit and grades are given for courses which need not be taken because of adequate performance on the examination. Inquiries should be directed to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and Recruitment. French 141, 142, 263, 264, 380; GERMAN 141, 142, 263, 264, 385; and SPN 141, 142, 263, 264, 380, 385 are all included in Cluster 1 - Perspectives on Cultural Diversity. NOTE: It is strongly recommended that foreign language majors take at least one history or geography course dealing with the country or countries whose language they are studying. Students pursuing the Teacher Certification Program and the Bilingual Teacher Education Program should consider taking their elective hours in their foreign language major and minor to strengthen their foreign language skills.

OBJECTIVES
The objectives of the programs of Foreign Languages are to acquaint students with foreign thought, culture and heritage; to enable students to communicate adequately in another language; and to enable students to teach foreign languages, or to prepare for a career that either requires or would be enhanced by knowledge of a foreign language. Career education in the foreign languages enjoys a developing popularity in the preparation of students who have salable skills complementary to their career choice. Professionals with varying degrees of competence in one or more foreign languages are needed in agriculture, business, criminology, education, the fine arts, government service, industry, medicine, science and related areas. The Foreign Languages Program functions as a service area in career preparation and also prepares students for professions requiring a foreign language as a major skill.

Geography Program
PROGRAM COORDINATOR: C. Allen Williams
FACULTY: Barron, Bounds, Netoff, Tiller

As an academic discipline, Geography is concerned with the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge regarding the spatial interrelationships which exist between man and his environment. Perhaps the core of Geography lies in the study of the cause-and- effect relationships which exist between man and his environment as they vary from one culture to another. Geographers are not only concerned with the ways in which the environment has placed its imprint upon various cultures, but with how man, acting within the framework of his different cultures, has altered his physical surroundings. The basic function of the Geography Program is to provide students with an increased awareness of the areal differences which are to be noted between the multitude of world cultures and environments, and with a basic understanding of why these differences exist.

Students concentrating in piano rather than in an orchestral instrument or voice make the following alterations in the instrumental or choral program curriculum outlines: 1. Minor performance is voice, organ, or orchestral instrument instead of piano. 2. MUS 492 is required of piano concentrates.
3. Participation each semester in a major performing ensemble (choir, orchestra, or band). Accompanying will be considered a minor performance ensemble. A curriculum for the Bachelor of Music degree with teacher certification, when successfully completed, qualifies a candidate for a Provisional All-Level Music Certificate to teach in kindergarten through twelfth grade. This degree will not be awarded unless the student successfully completed the required EED and SED courses.

Requirements for Music Majors
Students desiring to major in music are expected to have some previous musical experience. All students entering the Department of Music as music majors must audition in their major performance area. All applied music students must take jury examinations at the end of each semester. Before students majoring in music are allowed to enroll for 300 level courses in applied music, they must pass an upper divisional proficiency examination administered at the end of their fourth semester of study. All music majors must successfully complete two semesters of applied study at the 300 level before they will be approved for graduation. All music students must pass a proficiency examination in piano. The examination is administered at the end of each semester. All students must be enrolled for piano each semester until this requirement is absolved. Participation in a major ensemble is required of full-time students each long semester. The minimum requirement is seven semesters for B.M. with teacher certification or eight semesters for B.Music. Specific requirements vary for the different degrees and majors. Details of these requirements are available in the Department of Music Office.

Music Theory Placement
The normal sequence of study in music theory for music majors begins with MUS 122, 124. Students who show an unusual knowledge of the rudiments and terminology of music may request a special examination for advanced placement.

Transfer Students
In accordance with current policies adopted by the Texas Association of Music Schools, credit in applied music and music theory which is transferred from another institution must be validated by an examination based upon the semester standards as described in this catalogue. All transcript evaluations are tentative, conditioned upon successful completion of a semester's work at Sam Houston State University.

DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY
CHAIR: WALTER H. BENNETT
FACULTY: Bailey, Denq, Hayes, Van Burkleo, Weeks

The objective of the curricula is to provide a wide range of courses in both sociology and anthropology. These courses contribute to the general education of students by broadening their understanding of social and cultural forces affecting themselves and human society. As an academic discipline, Sociology combines scientific and humanistic perspectives in the scholarly study of culturally organized patterns of social relationships. The discipline's distinctive subject matter ranges from structures and processes that affect the self-concept at the individual level to the form and content of collective social organization at the societal and world system level. The primary focus of inquiry is on social structures that people create: their characteristics, changes, causes and consequences. The aim includes the establishment, validation, interpretation and application of knowledge about social structure and social process. For the student interested in a major or minor in sociology, the curricula are formally organized in programs which serve as vehicles for the systematic transmission of concepts, principles, facts and procedures central to the discipline. These programs include the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Science Degrees. Students interested in secondary certification in Sociology under these degree programs must incorporate the State Provisional Secondary Certification Requirements as set forth in the Division of Teacher Education section of this catalogue. The sociology major may opt to include in his/her BS degree program a Òsub-programÓ in social research. Students opting for the Òsub-programÓ are permitted to satisfy elective course requirements by choosing courses involving research oriented knowledge and skills from a variety of academic disciplines. The social research sub-program is intended to give formal recognition to problem solving abilities from a multi- disciplinary context. Disciplines from which research oriented courses may be taken include: accounting, business analysis, computing science, criminal justice, economics, health education, home economics, library science, management, mathematics, political science, and psychology. Interested students should consult with a departmental advisor for specific course titles and approved elective options. Students may complete the basic requirements for these respective degrees by following the curricula as set forth below.
