Academic Policy

GradingCredits are granted for courses com-

pleted with the grade of A excellent, A-very good, B+ very good, B good, B-good, C+ above average, C average, C-Below average, D below average, or Ppassed. The grade of F signifies failure. Agrade of incomplete (INC) indicates thatsome of the course requirements havenot been completed. W indicates a stu-dent initiated withdrawal from a courseafter the change of program periodthough the last day for grade changeoptions (as noted in each semester’sSchedule of Classes), UW indicates anunauthorized withdrawal.Students who receive grades of W

(withdrawal), UW (unauthorized with-drawal), INC (incomplete) or Pass/Failin the Fall or Spring semester are not eli-gible for inclusion on the Dean’s orHonor’s List for that academic year.A permanent grade of INC will

remain on a student’s transcript if thework is not completed by the end of thefollowing full semester. If an unusualextension of time becomes necessary tocomplete the work, the grade changemust be approved by the faculty member,the chairperson and the dean. The grade“I” is printed on the transcript alongwith the final earned grade and the datethe work was completed. Students withan excessive rate of unexcused absencesmay receive a grade of F or UW for thesemester. Except as noted below, anygrade may be removed from the student’scumulative average by repeating thecourse at C.W. Post.Students have the option to repeat

any course. Credits will be earned onlyonce, and although the original graderemains on the student’s permanentrecord, the second grade (whether higheror lower) will be used in computing thegrade point average. No student who hastaken a course and received a passinggrade in it may repeat that course forcredits after he or she has taken a relatedcourse containing content of a higherlevel. No course may be repeated morethan once, except with the prior approvalof the Academic Standing Committee. Ifa course is taken more than twice, allgrades after the first will be computedinto the student’s G.P.A. To be consid-ered for graduation with honors, the stu-dent’s average shall include only thegrade given to that student the first timehe or she has taken any specific course.Grades of P will not be computed into

the student’s overall G.P.A. and majoraverage, but will count toward gradua-tion credits. The grade of F will be com-

puted in the student’s overall G.P.A. andmajor average. Grades for courses takenat another college or university do notenter into the computation of either thecumulative or major averages. All LongIsland University courses taken at anybranch campus will be computed intothe student’s cumulative and major aver-ages. The average grade in the majorfield is computed from all of the coursesthe student has taken in the major.Required courses in which a grade of F

was earned must be repeated within oneyear. Students are encouraged to repeatsuch courses, provided they are offered,during the subsequent semester; thisapplies particularly to those students whoare on academic probation. TheAcademic Standing Committee willevaluate the status for any student whofails the same required course twice.Students are responsible for monitoring

their major and cumulative averages toensure they are meeting their requirementsfor graduation, as well as the requirementsfor satisfactory academic progress.

Pass/Fail OptionStudents may take a maximum of two

courses on the Pass/Fail (P/F) basis peracademic year (which includes Winterand Summer Sessions and WeekendCollege sessions, and all other newly cre-ated sessions, for a total of not more than24 credits in a student’s resident under-graduate program). This restriction doesnot apply to courses offered only on theP/F basis. A grade of “P” will be postedon the student’s transcript only if theactual grade earned is a “D” or better.Only elective courses may be taken on aPass/Fail basis. Core courses may not betaken on a Pass/Fail basis.Courses in a student’s major or minor

and co-related courses may not be takenas P/F without the written permission ofthe major or minor department chair orprogram director.Students in Early Childhood and

Childhood Education degree programsmay not be allowed to take any coursesin their academic concentrations (30-credit liberal arts concentrations in theCollege of Liberal Arts and Sciences)pass/fail.Students who opt for a Pass/Fail during

the Fall or Spring semester are not eligi-ble for inclusion on the Dean’s orHonor’s List for that academic year.Students may choose the P/F option

up to three weeks before the last day ofclasses as specified in the academic cal-endar. Changes will not be consideredafter the deadline date.To graduate with honors, a student

must take at least 56 credits at C.W.

Post, not including courses takenPass/Fail or Life Experience credits.Students in the Program for AcademicSuccess may not take courses on aPass/Fail basis.

Quality Points and General AverageEach student must satisfactorily com-

plete at least 129 credits for a baccalaure-ate degree (except those transfer studentsexempted from 1 credit of College 101);in some departments more credits arerequired. The student must achieve anoverall grade point average (G.P.A.) of2.00, and in some departments require-ments may be higher (see departmentalrequirements). In the major area, the stu-dent must achieve an average of at least2.25; in certain programs the minimummajor average may be higher.A credit is defined as 55 minutes of

classroom work per week, completed onone 15-week semester, or its equivalent,plus appropriate out-of-class assignmentsand readings. Quality points are com-puted by multiplying the number of cred-its in a course by: 4.00 for grade A, 3.67for grade A-, 3.33 for grade B+, 3.00 forgrade B, 2.67 for grade B-, 2.33 for gradeC+, 2.00 for grade C, 1.67 for grade C-,1.0 for grade D.For courses in which the grade of F has

been earned, no quality points areassigned. To derive the quality pointratio, divide the total number of qualitypoints by the total; number of credits,including those of failed courses. Thegrades W, UW and P are not counted inthe G.P.A. computation nor are thegrades for courses taken at another col-lege or university.For example:A student earns an A in a 4-credit

Biology course (4 x 4 = 16), a B- in a 3-credit English I course (2.67 x 3 = 8.01),a B in a 3-credit History II course (3.00 x3 = 9), a C in a 3-credit Math IV course(2 x 3 = 6), and an F in a 3-credit Art Icourse (0 x 3 = 0).The student has received 39.01 quality

points, divide 39.01 by 16 (credits taken)and the cumulative average for thesemester is 2.44.

Dean’s and Honor’s ListsEligibility for the Dean’s and Honor’s

lists is determined by grades earned inthe regular academic semesters (Fall andSpring). Summer Session grades are notconsidered. Students who receive gradesof Incomplete (INC or I), Failure (F),Withdrawal (W), UnauthorizedWithdrawal (UW) or Pass/Fail (P/F) ineither semester are not eligible. In addi-tion, students repeating courses are not

Post must eitherapply for a Leave of Absence or file aTermination of Studies application (seefollowing sections). Failure to do so mayaffect the availability of transcriptsand/or future financial aid eligibility.

Leave of AbsenceC.W. Post permits students to inter-

rupt their undergraduate studies whenappropriate. If granted, a Leave ofAbsence allows a student to continueunder the requirements in effect whenhe/she was initially admitted.The student does not need to be read-

mitted by Admissions upon return fromthe leave, but registers through his/herAcademic Advisor. Students must file aLeave of Absence Application with theAcademic Standing Committee. Theapplication form is available in theAcademic Counseling Center. A positiverecommendation by the Committee willresult in the Registrar’s recording the Leaveof Absence on the student’s transcript.A Leave of Absence for up to one year

university while on an official Leave ofAbsence.International Students should know

Maintenance of MatriculationUnless they have obtained an official

leave of absence, undergraduates mustregister for consecutive semesters(excluding summer sessions).

Matriculation are entitled to avail them-selves of Campus facilities and services(e.g., computer labs, library privileges,health services). Maintenance ofMatriculation does not, however, extendthe time limits specified under“Requirements for Degrees,” and students

should be aware that such status mayaffect their eligibility for financial aid.Students must apply to an academic

counselor for Maintenance ofMatriculation prior to or during the reg-istration period in a given semester. Thefee is $50, and this matriculation statuswill be recorded on their transcript as a“class” for zero credits.Maintenance of Matriculation is gen-

erally limited to two semesters. Anextension beyond two semesters, due toextenuating circumstances, must beapproved by the appropriate academicdean. Otherwise, they will have to applyfor readmission to their academic pro-gram in accordance with procedures andpolicies stated elsewhere in this Bulletin.Maintenance of Matriculation is particu-larly important for international stu-dents, who must either attend classes orelse maintain matriculation through suit-able academic activity in order to main-tain their visa status. In addition,Maintenance of Matriculation statusenables students to continue to purchasestudent health insurance through LongIsland University.

other colleges or universities, or intendto leave C.W. Post permanently (orindefinitely) must file a “Termination ofStudies” form. This form is available inthe Academic Counseling Center.

dent who has been billed at the flat rate(12 to 18 credits) drops below 12 creditsduring the program change period,charges are recalculated on the per creditbasis and the difference between therevised per credit charge and the flat ratecan be refunded.When an undergraduate full-time stu-

dent who has been billed at the flat rate(12 to 18 credits) drops below 12 creditsafter the program change period, the dif-ference between the new per creditcharges and the flat rate becomes thebasis for a refund.Please Note: The effective date of a

CORECURRICULUMThe C.W. Post Core Curriculum,

created by the C. W. Post Campusfaculty, presents each student with themajor approaches to knowledge. As afaculty, we recognize and welcome therich diversity of personal and academicexperiences that students of varying agesand backgrounds bring to their studies.C. W. Post prepares students to face thechallenges of an ever-changing world.

The Core Curriculum will:• Foster the continued development ofcritical and analytical skills

• Increase the understanding and appre-ciation of areas of human knowledge

• Develop an understanding of diversemodes of inquiry

• Promote understanding of ethical andmoral issues

• Increase the ability to examine problemsand issues from multiple perspectives

• Develop the capacity to do independentresearch

• Foster a capacity for lifelong learning

The Core Curriculum is a set of requiredcourses designed to help students gain abroad liberal arts background that willenhance the specialized knowledge oftheir major.Most students complete these

requirements during the first two years aspreparation for more advanced studywithin their major during the junior andsenior years. The courses are divided intoeight major areas: CompetencyRequirements (variable credits);Laboratory Sciences (8 credits); Historyand Philosophy (9 credits); Languageand Literature (6 credits); Arts (6 cred-its); Political Science and Economics (6credits); Sociology, Psychology,Geography, Anthropology (6 credits);Mathematics (3 credits).Students select from a variety of courses

in these areas. The following guidelinesshould be used in selecting courses:a) The courses should be in one disci-pline in each area (e.g., two courses inAnthropology for 6 credits; not onecourse in Anthropology and onecourse in Geography).

b) Courses in the Core Curriculum maynot be taken on a Pass/Fail basis.

c) Students should see their academiccounselors to develop a plan of study

d) Transfer Students only: Previous col-lege coursework may substitute forcore courses with academic counselor’sapproval.

Competency RequirementsCompetencies (Variable Credits)Prior to the Junior year, the student

must exhibit proficiency in writing, com-puter literacy, oral communication, and

library use. This may be fulfilled by satis-factory completion of an examination,workshop, or coursework. (Theatre, MediaArts and Accountancy majors fulfill theoral communication competency require-ment within their respective programs.Education majors fulfill this competencyrequirement in the School of Education.)The student may satisfy the Computer

Competency in one of three ways:1. Take and pass the ComputerCompetency Examination, which isoffered each semester.

2. Enroll in and satisfactorily completethe non-credit Computer CompetencyWorkshop, COM 01, offered by theComputer Science Department.

3. Enroll in and satisfactorily complete acredit-bearing introductory course.

Writing Across theCurriculumThe Campus’s Writing Across the

Curriculum program is based on a convic-tion that thought and language are inextri-cably allied – that one cannot properlyclaim to know any subject matter unlessone can organize clear and coherent state-ments about it. In keeping with this belief,the program aims to ensure that all gradu-ates can write persuasively in a disciplinary-appropriate manner and employ writing asa means to further intellectual and profes-sional efforts.Beyond the required First Year

Composition sequence (English 1 and 2),students must produce substantial writtenwork throughout their academic careers,taking courses defined as “writing inten-sive” offered by departments in C. W.Post’s colleges and schools. These coursesare designed to build upon the skills andrhetorical strategies developed in First YearComposition, adapting them to the spe-cific expectations of each academic field.Students are required to take English 1and 2 and at least three writing intensivecourses, preferably one each in theSophomore, Junior, and Senior years.Student who take eight or more writing

intensive courses (including First YearComposition) and achieve at least a B+ inall such classes will receive a Certificate ofAchievement in Writing IntensiveStudies.If they have completed the required six-

credit First Year Composition sequence,transfer students take one writing inten-sive course for each year of residence:transfer students entering as Freshmen orSophomores (59 credits or fewer) takethree writing intensive courses; transferstudents entering as Juniors (60 to 89credits) take two writing intensive courses;transfer students entering as Seniors (90credits and above) take one writingintensive course.

Cooperative Education

CooperativeEducationThe office of Professional Experience

and Career Planning administers theCooperative Education Program. The

Co-op program gives students the oppor-tunity to work in career-related jobswhile they are still in school. Studentsgain valuable work experience thatenriches their academic studies. In addi-tion, students can use this experience todevelop realistic career goals and build aresume that demonstrates related experi-ence to employers when they are seekingfull-time positions after graduation.

Co-op Program1. Students must take EEE-1. Studentsare eligible to take this seminar asearly as their Freshman year.

2. After successfully completing EEE-1,students should see a co-op coordina-tor in the Office of ProfessionalExperience and Career Planning(PEP)to apply for co-op positions.

3. Before beginning the co-op assign-ment, students set learning objectiveswith the help of the co-op coordinator.

4. Co-op positions are generally paidpart-time positions with companiesand organizations in the LongIsland/New York metropolitan area.Students work for a period of approxi-mately one semester with a co-opemployer. Positions can start at anytime during the semester. Studentsusually work 15-20 hours per week andhours are arranged to fit both the stu-dent’s and employer’s needs.

5. Students may also opt to take a semes-ter off from classes and work full-time.During the work period, students areregistered as full-time C.W. Post stu-dents, but pay no tuition during thesemester they are not in school.Financial assistance is carried over tothe next semester and there is no lossto the student.

6. After successfully completing theirfirst co-op position, students mayapply for a different work experienceat another firm or organization,thereby broadening their background.Students may also choose to stay withthe same employer if there is mutualinterest in doing so.

7. After successfully completing a co-opwork experience, students are assigneda grade of “P” and a notation with thename of the company is made on thestudent’s transcript.

EEE-1* Experience EnrichedEducation SeminarPrerequisite: Co-op Work Experience(EEE-2 – EEE-5)

This seminar prepares students to par-ticipate in a co-op work experience.Career self-assessments, interview prepara-tion, resume writing, job skills and work-place issues are covered. The goal of thiscourse is to enable students to identifytheir career goals, obtain a co-op positionand be successful in the workplace.

The faculty who teach in theAmerican Studies Program are from thir-teen different academic departmentsincluding Art, Curriculum andInstruction, Earth and EnvironmentalScience, Economics, English, ForeignLanguage, History, Music, Philosophy,Political Science, Psychology,Sociology/Anthropology and Theatre,Film and Dance..

Overview of AmericanStudies ProgramEstablished over sixty years ago,

American Studies is one of the moststimulating interdisciplinary fields in thearts and social sciences, leading to truedialogue among ordinarily separate areasof study. It asks crucial questions aboutthe diverse peoples and complex historiesthat make up the United States—ques-tions that can enhance our understand-ing of the political and social forces thathave shaped the nation and its relation-ship with the world. Based on theirinterests, practitioners of AmericanStudies approach their work from a vari-ety of critical perspectives, and this inter-disciplinary method is at the heart ofwhat the American Studies major andminor can offer students at C.W. Post.The American Studies Program invites

students to take an active role in shapingtheir education. By working closely witha faculty advisor, students devise their

own curriculum around a specifictopic/concentration. This flexibility notonly provides an opportunity to take abroad range of classes from departmentsacross campus—including history,English, sociology, political science, phi-losophy, art history, psychology, anthro-pology, theater, music, education, andearth and environmental sciences—butit also helps students develop criticalthinking, reading, and writing skills thatare essential in today’s professionalworld.An American Studies major or minor

can lead to successful careers in business,education, law, the foreign service, poli-tics, social work, communications, publicrelations, museum curating, journalism,publishing, advertising, and graduateschool in the humanities. It offers anenriching liberal arts education thatchallenges students to engage with avariety of interdisciplinary perspectives,to synthesize complex ideas and meth-ods, and to become more engaged citi-zens of the world.

B.A. in AmericanStudiesBecause this is an interdisciplinary

major, students must work closely withtheir faculty advisor as well as withAcademic Counseling in the planning oftheir coursework throughout their pursuitof the degree.

a B.S., based on the co-major. For exam-ple, if a student chooses the B.S. optionin Biology then the EnvironmentalScience degree will also be a B.S. TheDepartment also offers minors for stu-dents in other programs wishing to pursuea secondary interest in Earth Science,Geology, Human Geography and WorldRegional Studies. Geography and Geologymajors may be required (at the discretionof the Department) to take GGR 100 orGLY 100 (tutorial courses) as part of theirprogram of study. When students takethese courses, the total number of creditsin the major will remain unchanged andthe tutorial course will be counted as anelective in the respective major.Students seeking state teacher certifi-

cation in Earth Science may earn adegree in Geology and select the appro-priate education courses to meet certifi-cation requirements. The Department, inconjunction with the School ofEducation, provides a bachelor’s programfor those seeking certification as teachersof Earth Science grades 7 to 12.Graduate courses in Earth Science,

Geography and Geology may be taken byundergraduate students with appropriateaverages and permission.The Department offers a wide variety

of opportunities for students to partici-pate in clubs, special events and fieldtrips. Sigma Gamma Epsilon, thenational Earth Science Honor Society,has an active chapter at C.W. Post andmembers may submit original work to itsnational publication.

Overview of EnglishThe major in English is designed to

acquaint students with the broad rangeof literature in English and to providesome concentration upon authors andareas of personal or professional interest.Through systematic study, students dis-cover the values underlying the great lit-erature of the past and also learn todistinguish and appreciate that contem-porary literature which is most likely toendure. By studying English, studentslearn to evaluate sensibilities of the pastand present, acquiring a profound knowl-edge of their own humanity in particularand of the human condition in general.Ideally, they acquire taste and knowledgeto guide them throughout later life.The study of English helps develop flu-

ency of expression, skill in logic andanalysis, and facility in planning, orga-nizing and revising. Literature courses noless than composition courses give atten-tion to writing in order to help the stu-dent perfect the ability to communicatewith others. Such mastery of the Englishlanguage is an important prerequisite forsuccess in many careers, such as publish-ing, teaching, advertising, public rela-tions, diplomacy, marketing andmanagement. In addition, a B.A. inEnglish is recommended for those inter-ested in earning advanced degrees notonly in literature but also in journalism,law, library science, and English forAdolescence Education (Grades 7-12).The Program in American Studies isdescribed in full elsewhere in theBulletin.The Department offers a wide variety of

opportunities for students to participate inclubs, publications and special events.Sigma Tau Delta, the national EnglishHonor Society, maintains an active chap-ter at C.W. Post, and members may submitoriginal work to the national publication.C.W. Post also offers a number of

annual English awards for scholarshipand original prose and poetry. Studentsmay compete for the prizes granted annu-ally by the Academy of American Poets.

B.A. inEnglish–LiteratureConcentrationMajor RequirementsEnglish 1, 2: 6 credits or equivalent com-petency in English composition. (English1 and 2 do not count toward courserequirements in English, but they arecounted as part of the major average);


other competency requirements as neces-sary; Freshman Seminar for studentsentering as freshmen.

Core Requirements• 8 credits in lab science, 9 credits inHistory and Philosophy, 6 credits inFine Arts, 6 credits in Political Scienceor Economics, 6 credits in SocialSciences, 3 credits in Mathematics,and competency requirements.

• English 11,12: Survey of EnglishLiterature

• English 85: Disciplinary Literacy inEnglish

• Eight three-credit courses in English,one of these in a major figure, one in ahistorical period, and one in a genre.(Only two of these may be coursesnumbered below 13.)

• One section of English 100 in additionto any courses used to fulfill otherrequirements.

• Total: 36 credits in English, 38 creditsin Core requirements, 54 credits ofelectives and correlated courses,including 6 credits in composition ifapplicable. Total credits needed forgraduation: 128 (129 includingFreshman Seminar). The cumulativeaverage in English must be 2.25 at thecompletion of the degree requirements.

Although students pursuing a B.A. inEnglish must fulfill the competencyrequirement in composition, they areexempt from the Core Requirement inliterature or language. However, somecollege-level study of a foreign languageis strongly recommended. Students con-templating graduate work in English areadvised that many Ph.D. programs requirea reading knowledge of one or more for-eign languages and are urged to completeforeign language study through courses 11and 12. Such students are also urged totake an advanced course in History andone of the following: LIN 11 ComparativeLinguistics, LIN 12 DescriptiveLinguistics, LIN 41 Applied Linguistics, orSPH 51 Phonetics of English.The Department expects the student

to choose English courses from a widerange of figures, genres and periods.Among the major figures regularlyoffered are Chaucer, Shakespeare andMilton, but the major figure requirementmay be met by taking any special-topiccourse in which an author’s nameappears in the title; such a course maynot be used to fulfill the genre or periodrequirement.The genre distribution requirement

may be met by taking any course thatnames a genre (literary type or mode) inthe title. The genres regularly offered

include poetry, drama, fiction and auto-biography.The literary periods regularly offered

cover the whole range of English,American and world literature; however,the period distribution requirement mustbe met with a course indicating in itstitle that it is limited in scope to an his-torical period of British literature orcomparative literature. Some coursesmay count either as genre courses orperiod courses, but a course may not beused simultaneously to fulfill two distrib-ution requirements.The Department’s undergraduate acad-

emic counselor helps students plan theirprograms and solve academic problems.

Overview ofMathematics

On the undergraduate level, theDepartment of Mathematics coversall aspects of Pure and AppliedMathematics including the abstracttheory of computation.

The Department offers a Bachelor ofScience degree in each of the followingprograms: Mathematics, AppliedMathematics with Computer Science,and Mathematics and Physics (in con-junction with the Department ofPhysics). The Department offers aBachelor of Arts degree in Mathematicsand a Bachelor of Science inAdolescence Education: Mathematics(Grades 7-12).

Candidates for a B.A. must take atleast 96 credits in the Liberal Arts andSciences. Students intending to pursue agraduate degree in mathematics shouldinclude MTH 31-32 in their programand should study a language, preferablyFrench, German or Russian.

Students may combine a B.S. inMathematics and Physics from C.W. Postwith a degree from an engineering schoolby transferring after two or three years ofstudy at C.W. Post. A transfer is most eas-ily facilitated to the engineering schoolswith which C.W. Post has articulationagreements or close ongoing associations:Arizona State University, PolytechnicUniversity and Stevens Institute ofTechnology. We also have a program forstudents interested in Actuarial Science.

Students must arrange a meeting with adepartmental academic counselor as earlyas possible to plan their program of study.Those intending to pursue a teachingcareer must consult with a School ofEducation academic counselor to ascertainwhat further requirements of the State

Education Department they must meet.Graduate courses in mathematics are

open to qualified undergraduates with thepermission of the mathematics academiccounselor, the chair and the dean. TheMathematics Department offers an array ofcourses geared to the needs of students inother disciplines. The usual sequence forScience majors is Mathematics 3, 7 and 8;usually for those in Childhood Education itis Mathematics 15 and 16; and thesequence for students in the College ofManagement is Mathematics 4, 5 and 6.Students scoring sufficiently high on aplacement exam will be exempt fromMathematics 3 or 4, and qualified studentsmay take Mathematics 7 instead ofMathematics 6. Special sections are offeredin Mathematics 3 and 4 each semester forstudents needing special assistance.

A Minor in Mathematics is availablefor students with other majors, and thereis a Concentration of Mathematics inChildhood Education. Both are describedbelow. Free tutoring for all studentsenrolled in mathematics courses isprovided by the Department and staffedby upper-class mathematics majors andgraduate students.

Apart from the basic college Corecourses, the requirements for each degreeare as follows:

Overview ofPhilosophyThe study of philosophy offers studentsthe opportunity to develop an apprecia-tion for the variety of visions that givelife meaning. It also provides studentswith the intellectual resources needed tobegin the lifelong project of crafting avision of their own. Courses in the phi-losophy department encourage andenable students to ask questions; todevelop critical thinking, reading, andwriting skills; to strengthen their abilityto make decisions for themselves aboutissues that affect their lives; to develop ahistorical understanding of texts andideas; and to experience the wonder andpassion of thinking. Students who pursuea degree in philosophy emerge with anunderstanding of the major thinkers andcentral problems of the philosophical tra-dition, as well as an ability to analyze

philosophical texts with critical rigor. Adegree in philosophy is helpful to studentsin all fields who are pursuing graduatework or entering professional schools.

B.A. in PhilosophyA philosophy major must take at least

33 credits among philosophy coursesaccording to the following distribution:

CreditsPhilosophy 14 3Philosophy 25, 26, 31, 32 12One from each of the following groups:Philosophy 16, 18, 46 3Philosophy 43, 44 3One seminar:Philosophy 81 or 82 3Any three philosophy electives 9Total 33

Philosophy majors are further encour-aged to develop a coherent minor pro-gram by choosing at least 18 credits inanother area of study.

Overview of PoliticalScience/InternationalStudies

Political Science majors have pursuedsuccessful careers in the following areas:Law – The best preparation for entry

to law school is a solid liberal arts educa-tion and the Political Science curriculumis particularly well suited to students whointend to pursue a legal career. C.W. Post’sPre-Law Advisor is Professor JeremyBuchman, a member of the PoliticalScience Department. All students whoare considering attending law schoolshould consult with him as early in theirundergraduate careers as possible.

Public Administration – Many majorsgo into government service:1. Federal Government – a Political

Science major may find a federal jobin nearly any agency or branch of theU.S. government, for example, asadministrative, budget, or personnelofficer for a U.S. government agency.

2. State and Local Government – majorsare employed by state and local gov-ernments, their branches and agencies,where they seek resolutions to societalproblems and implement the day-todayfunctions of government. The PoliticalScience Department, in conjunctionwith the Department of PublicAdministration, offers an AcceleratedB.A. in Political Science/ Master’sDegree in Public Administration forentering freshmen, transfer studentsand continuing C.W. Post students. Inorder to provide training for thoseindividuals who desire to continue ingovernment service on the state, localand federal levels, our M.P.A. degreeoffers concentrations in AdministrativeTheory and Practice and Policy andPlanning. The concentration inCommunity Service offers the studentthe background to enter social andpublic service programs and agenciescommunity and mental health organiza-tions, geriatrics, city management, etc.Teaching – Although initial or profes-

sional certification to teach social studiesin public secondary schools in New YorkState is obtained through the School of

Education, the Political ScienceDepartment furnishes one of the vehiclesfor obtaining the substantive knowledgerequired to comply with the staterequirements. Those wishing to pursue ateaching position in colleges and univer-sities must obtain an advanced degree,preferably a Ph.D.Business – Many Political Science

graduates have traditionally foundcareers in the fields of marketing, person-nel, advertising, public relations, insur-ance, banking, finance, the media arts.Students majoring in Political Sciencemust fulfill the college Core require-ments. The number of free electives willbe increased to the extent that relatedcourses also apply to the CoreCurriculum requirements. A PoliticalScience academic counselor is availablefor discussion of academic planning, toassist students in resolving curriculumand other problems that may arise inconnection with campus life.

Accelerated B.A./M.A.Degree inPolitical Science –A.M.A. Program

Freshmen, transfer students and con-tinuing C.W. Post students may takeadvantage of the A.M.A. Program:Accelerated Bachelor’s and Master’sDegree in Political Science.

The accelerated program permits theobtaining of these degrees in less timethan is normally required. For example,it is possible for an entering freshmanstudying on a full-time basis to earn bothdegrees within five years; a junior mayearn the degree in three years. Acceptancein the Accelerated B.A./M.A.

Program requires:1. Completion of 60-64 credits with a

grade point average no lower than B(3.0).

2. Acceptance of the student by theappropriate authorities at C.W. Post.(If a student does not possess the nec-essary 3.0 average, the appropriateauthorities may employ other criteriato insure qualification; e.g., S.A.T.scores, letters of recommendation,samples of prior work.)Students pursuing the accelerated pro-

gram are eligible for all financial assis-tance made available to other majors orgraduate students.

In addition to the usual requirementsof undergraduate majors, A.M.A. stu-dents will take 12 graduate credits duringtheir senior year. Upon the successfulcompletion of the normal 128 creditsrequired for graduation, the student willnot receive the B.A. degree but will begiven 12 credits of advanced standing inthe Master of Arts program (dependingon the M.A. option.) After completingthese 18 or 24 credits and meeting allgraduate requirements, the student willbe awarded both the B.A. and M.A.degree; he or she will be entitled to theB.A. in Political Science upon the com-pletion of the appropriate 128 credits.


Accelerated B.A. inPolitical Science/Master’s Degree inPublic Administration– M.P.A. Program

Freshman, transfer students and contin-uing C.W. Post students may take advan-tage of the A.P.A. Program: AcceleratedBachelor’s Degree in Political Science/Master’s Degree in Public Administration(M.P.A.)

The Political Science Departmentoffers students the unique opportunity toprepare for a career in governmentadministration on the federal, state orlocal level at an accelerated rate. Thedepartment, in conjunction with theDepartment of Health and PublicAdministration, offers an AcceleratedB.A. in Political Science/Master’s Degreein Public Administration (A.P.A.).

Students enrolled in the A.P.A. programat Nassau and Suffolk community collegesshould see the academic counselor in theDepartment of Political Science because ofthe nature of their program. The acceler-ated program permits the obtaining ofthese degrees in much less time than isnormally required. For example, it is possi-ble for an entering freshman studying on afull-time basis to earn a B.A. in PoliticalScience and a Master of PublicAdministration degree (M.P.A.) withinfive years; a junior may earn both bachelorsand M.P.A. degrees in three years or less.Acceptance into the Accelerated B.A. inPolitical Science/Master’s Degree in PublicAdministration program requires:1. Completion of 60-64 credits with a

grade point average no lower than aB (3.0).

2. Acceptance of the student by theappropriate authorities at C.W. Post.(If a student does not possess the nec-essary 3.0 average, the appropriateauthorities may employ other criteriato insure qualification; e.g., S.A.T.scores, letters of recommendation,samples of prior work.)

Since an undergraduate student pursu-ing this accelerated program is a major inthe Department of Political Science, heor she is eligible for all financial assis-tance made available to majors.

Those students participating in theAccelerated B.A. in Political Science/Master’s Degree in Public Administrationwill be required to maintain a B average,enroll in a 6-credit government internship,as well as take 12 credits in Economics.

Moreover, in the student’s senior year,

Upon suc-cessful completion of the normal 128credits required for graduation, the stu-dent will not receive the B.A. degree inPolitical Science, but will be given 12credits of advanced standing in theM.P.A. program. The student, therefore,will be required to complete 33 credits inthe Master of Public Administration pro-gram (rather than the required 45 credits).

After completing the 33 credits, andmeeting all graduate requirements, thestudent will be awarded both the B.A.and M.P.A. degrees. If, for any reason,the student should not go on for theM.P.A. degree, he or she will be entitledto the B.A. in Political Science upon thecompletion of the appropriate 128 credits.

The five-year program will reflect thenormal Department of Political Sciencesuggested program for the first two years,with the appropriate changes in the lasttwo years of study. Consult the academiccounselor for an appropriate plan ofstudy. An accelerated program in PoliticalScience/Health Administration is alsooffered. Students should consult the aca-demic counselor for further information.

B. Upon successful completion of the nor-mal 128 credits required for graduation,the student will not receive the B.A.degree, but will be given 12 credits ofadvanced standing in the M.B.A. pro-gram. After completing the additional30 graduate credits (in some cases morecredits may be required depending uponthe undergraduate preparation), andmeeting all graduate requirements, thestudent will be awarded both the B.A.and M.B.A. degrees. If, for any reason,the student should not go on for theM.B.A. degree, he or she will be enti-tled to the B.A. in InternationalStudies upon the successful completionof the appropriate 128 credits.

C. Students may be eligible to receivewaivers of specific Core courses in theM.B.A. program if they have com-pleted certain undergraduate courseswith grades of B or better (i.e.,Business minor). Students should con-sult with the program academic coun-selors concerning such waivers.

Overview of SociologyThe Department of Sociology and

Anthropology has the advantage of com-bining two disciplines within a singledepartment. This enables the student todevelop a broad perspective for the sys-tematic analysis and understanding ofhuman behavior. While a common bondexists between the two disciplines, eachhas its own history, methodology, andconceptual framework. Anthropologyfocuses on the role of culture in humanbehavior and Sociology on society, itsfunctions and dysfunctions. The holisticperspective provided by these disciplinesis crucial in today’s multi-ethnic andmulti-national work environment.

Major in SociologyThe course offerings of the department

focus on educating students to liberatethemselves from the provincialism ofplace, time, and circumstances; todevelop an awareness of the relationshipbetween society and the individual; andto use basic concepts, research and statis-tical skills in preparation for varioustypes of professions, occupations andsocial services. Courses in sociology canbe used as preparation for graduate workand for careers in government and pri-vate research, personnel work, humanresources management, urban planningand other policy making and administra-tive careers. Toward that end, the depart-ment offers students a major in Sociologyand a concentration in Applied Sociology.

Applied SociologyThe purpose of the Applied Sociology

option is to develop practical skills forvaried sectors of the economy. Focusingon specialized skills will allow students totranslate sociology into action. Publicand private sectors, organizations, agen-cies, and industry look to applied sociol-ogists to define the dimensions of aparticular problem, to identify the vari-ables that affect it and to craft a viablecourse of action or solution. Once stu-dents complete the requirements, theirtranscript identifies that they are trainedin Applied Sociology. Sociology majorswho choose this option are required tocomplete a minimum of 43 credits oftheir chosen specialization.

Administration degree program at C.W.Post offers students the opportunity toearn two AACSB accredited businessdegrees in only five years. Earn aBachelor of Science degree in BusinessAdministration with concentrations infinance, international business, manage-ment, management information systemsor marketing, then seamlessly transitioninto M.B.A. study. This dual degree pro-gram enables you to enter the businessworld sooner, armed with superior cre-dentials and higher earning potential.

EligibilityStudents must meet the same stan-

dards for admission to the M.B.A. por-tion of the program as those studentswho apply from other schools, or whohave already completed a bachelor’sdegree at C.W. Post.

Policies and ProceduresB.S./M.B.A. majors follow the policies

and procedures outlined below:• Completion of undergraduate businesscourses (with a B or better in each rel-evant course), students may waive outof the 500-level M.B.A. core courses.

• In the senior year, students take two600-level M.B.A. courses, reducingM.B.A. course requirements to 30additional credits upon satisfaction ofundergraduate requirements (for a totalof 36 credits in M.B.A. courses).-These two courses (6 credits) will bejointly applied to undergraduate andgraduate courses of study. These twocourses take the place of two under-graduate business electives.- Students must earn at least a B ineach of the two 600-level coursesfor them to count toward the dualdegree.- Students may declare theAccelerated B.S./M.B.A. option atany time (for example, as early as atthe time of admission to C.W. Postas a freshman), but no later thansenior year.

• Students must take the GMAT andformally apply for admission to theM.B.A. portion of the program by theDecember prior to the semester inwhich they intend to take the 600-level courses as a senior. Earlier appli-cation is encouraged.

B.S. in PublicAdministrationThe Bachelor of Science program in

Public Administration is designed tomeet specific needs of the public sector.Goals of the program include:• Providing a liberal arts educationthrough the Campus’s CoreCurriculum;

• Assuring an understanding and appre-ciation of the political, social and eco-nomic aspects of public services;

• Preparing students for entry- and mid-dle- level professional positions in pub-lic service;

• Preparing students for graduate educa-tion in public administration.

In recent years, the public sector workforce in the Long Island area has under-gone a major change, if not a minor rev-

olution. The continuous economic vital-ity of the area, the increasing population,the aging of a significant portion of thepopulation, the increasing attractivenessof the area as a vacation region and sec-ond-home location has contributed tothe notable growth of “public” problems.Included in these concerns are the issuesof groundwater safety, waste water dis-posal, solid waste disposal, infrastructureissues, affordable housing as well ashealth care and social services demands.The resolution of these problems requiresa talented and skilled public service workforce.The recent public employee retire-

ment incentive program, both at thestate and local levels, and in large partdue to past fiscal constraints, has left per-sonnel gaps throughout the public sector.Given the high level of sophisticationrequired among public sector employees,the need for more new employees with asolid grounding in all significant aspectsof the principles and practices of thefield of public administration is of para-mount importance.The public organization complex in the

region is substantial. For example, inNassau County there are two cities, threetowns, 64 villages, 57 school districts, 174town-based special districts and 25 publicauthorities including housing, urbanrenewal and industrial development agen-cies. A similar governmental complexexists in neighboring Suffolk County.State government also has a major pres-ence in the area. Among the State’soffices are: Department of Commerce;

172

C.W. Post Campus


Division of Parole; Department ofEducation; Office of VocationalRehabilitation; Department of MotorVehicles; Department of State; Worker’sCompensation Board; and the Courts.Similarly the Federal Government has

many offices located in Nassau County.Among these are: Department ofDefense, Defense Contract AuditAgency; Department of Health andHuman Services; Department of Labor;Department of the Treasury; CustomsBureau. In addition to these major opera-tions, the regional Internal RevenueService Processing Center is based inadjacent Suffolk County.In summary, the several major con-

cerns discussed above have created a sit-uation that calls for a program to preparea college-educated work force for thepublic sector.The curriculum represents an innova-

tive blend that is strong in the publicadministration major and the politicaland administrative sciences. By pursuinga public administration major, our stu-dents are prepared for careers in publicsector management, law, and administra-tion of not-for-profit organizations.

Adolescence Education MajorsStudents who desire to teach art,

music or any one of the academic sub-jects listed on page 187 should enroll asAdolescence Education majors and mustmake an appointment with an academiccounselor from both the School ofEducation as well as those academic sub-ject departments (ie Art, Biology, English,Music, etc.) to complete a Plan of Study.These students register with the

School of Education in their freshmanyear while continuing their studies intheir major academic fields. In thesophomore year, all undergraduate stu-dents in the School of Education areadvised to enroll in specified professionaleducation (pedagogical) courses.Upon application, the student is

assigned to an education counselor. Thestudent, however, also continues consul-tations with the counselor in the field ofacademic concentration. Prior to finaladmission to the School of Education,such students are required to completean “Application for Admission to aTeacher Education Program” and file itwith the department. This applicationmust be accompanied by a Plan of Studydeveloped with an education counselorwithin a month after enrollment. A Planof Study and registration forms requirethe signature of academic subject areaand education counselors. Additionally,each student will have a faculty advisorfrom the School of Education.

Required AveragesAll students admitted to the Early

Childhood, Secondary and SpecialEducation programs, without condition,

must maintain a cumulative GPA of2.50 and 2.75 in all School ofEducation courses and areas of special-ization to be recommended for studentteaching. Health Program and Healthand Physical Education majors mustmaintain a cumulative GPA of 2.75 and2.80 in all major courses for studentteaching. Students lacking in require-ments may be excluded from theEducation program or may be admittedon probation, but their record will beclosely and regularly examined to deter-mine their fitness to continue. No edu-cation course may be taken Pass/Fail.

Field Observation and ParticipationField Observation provides prospective

teachers with meaningful off-campusexperiences; e.g., observing and workingwith children or adolescents in commu-nity centers and schools in order toobserve methods and materials utilizedon a given grade level. This requirementis designed to help a student determinehis or her interest in and aptitude forEducation as a lifetime career. Moreover,it provides insights and perspectives thataid faculty in assessing the student’spotentialities for a teaching career beforehe or she enters the final and most rigor-ous phase of the professional program:student-teaching in the elementary andsecondary schools under the directionand supervision of full-time cooperatingteachers and members of the Educationfaculty of C.W. Post. All students arerequired to have at least 100 hours offieldwork prior to student teaching.

Methods Courses andStudent TeachingAdmission to courses in the methods

and materials of teaching as well as instudent teaching is restricted to studentswho meet prescribed academic andhealth standards and whose oral andwritten English, character and citizen-ship are deemed adequate for thedemands and responsibilities of teachingbased upon the professional judgment ofthe faculty. During the semester prior tostudent teaching, an application foradmission to courses for student teachingmust be filed with the Office of ClinicalEducation. The records of students whohave been admitted to courses in meth-ods and materials are reviewed againprior to student teaching. Studentswhose oral and written English are con-sidered unsatisfactory may be disqualifiedfrom further participation.The oral competency of all School of

Education majors will be assessed via avoice and diction examination adminis-

tered by the faculty of the CommunicationSciences and Disorders Department. Inorder to register for methods courses andstudent teaching, students must eitherpass the voice and diction examinationor successfully complete the recom-mended remediation following failure.Registration for student teaching or

methods courses without meeting theabove requirements is allowed with per-mission of the respective departmentchairperson and the dean.If a student elects to waive the col-

lege-supervised student teaching, it isimperative that the counselor is notifiedand elective courses are selected to sat-isfy degree requirements. The studentmust also receive permission from thechair of the Department of Curriculumand Instruction.Students who waive student teaching

will not be eligible for certificationbecause they will not be “program com-pleters.” This covers ChildhoodEducation, effective 2/1/06, and all otherteaching licenses, effective 2/1/09.Eligibility does not apply to candidateswho hold a teaching license where theprogram in which student teaching isbeing waived is for an additional certifi-cate.Candidates for courses in student teach-

ing are required to attend an applicationseminar the semester before student teach-ing. The above must be accompanied by atranscript verifying an overall GPA of 2.5and a specific Education and/or subjectarea average of 2.75*.

Overview ofCommunicationSciences andDisordersThe Department of Communication

Sciences and Disorders prepares studentsfor the professions of Speech LanguagePathology and Audiology so that theyare able to work with communicativelyhandicapped individuals. Theoreticaland practical approaches are combinedthroughout the undergraduate (B.S.) andthe graduate levels (M.A. degree).

B.S. in Speech-Language Pathologyand AudiologyThe undergraduate program combines

theoretical studies of normal and disor-dered communication with limited field-based experiences while the studentworks toward a B.S. degree. The programprepares students in the prerequisitesneeded to pursue a career in speech-lan-guage pathology or audiology. To achievethis goal, the students must obtain a mas-ter’s degree as well as fulfill other require-

ments needed to obtain their Certificateof Clinical Competence from theAmerican Speech-language-HearingAssociation (ASHA), New York Statelicensure, and teacher certification.This degree requires students to fulfill

45 credits in the Liberal Arts core, 45credits in Communication Sciences andDisorders courses, 14 credits in Educationcourses, 6 credits in English Compositionand 19 credits in electives and co-relatedcourses. Courses in the Department ofCommunication Sciences and Disordersprovide knowledge of basic normalprocesses of speech, language and hearingas well as communication disorders.

Students admitted to the CommunicationSciences and Disorders Program mustmaintain a cumulative GPA of 2.75 and a2.75 average in the area of specialization,speech-language pathology and audiology.

Jerrold Mark LadgeSpeech and HearingCenterThe Center is fully equipped with the

latest audiological and testing materialsused in the diagnosis and treatment ofspeech, language and hearing disorders.Its clinical services, supervised by statelicensed and ASHA certified speech lan-guage pathologists and audiologists, areavailable to the public.

The clinic also serves as a trainingcenter in order to provide undergraduateswith opportunities to observe the evalua-tion and/or treatment of children andadults with communication disorders.Graduate students conduct evaluationsand treat clients under the supervision ofASHA certified, New York Statelicensed faculty and supervisory staff.

Overview of Health,Physical Educationand MovementScienceAs an integral part of the School of

Education, the Department of Health,Physical Education and MovementScience prepares professionals to fulfillthe needs for wellness, motor competen-cies, health and fitness in a diverse soci-ety. Courses are designed and developedto ensure that performance competenciesare compatible with and contingentupon the assumed and evolving role in apluralistic culture. Students majoring inHealth and/or Physical Education engagein a rigorous academic program that iscoupled and complemented with exten-sive field experience to facilitate thefusion of theory and practice.Educational experiences that promote

motor development, motor competency,remediation, fitness, and health, result-ing in a more healthy and harmonioushuman experience are embedded andembroidered into a K-12 comprehensiveschool curriculum. Toward this end, thedepartment offers B.S. degrees in NewYork State Approved teacher preparatoryprograms in the fields of HealthEducation and Physical Education. Oneunique program is the offering of a dualmajor in Health Education and PhysicalEducation; this program fulfills the eligi-bility requirements for InitialCertification in both Health andPhysical Education K-12. Health andPhysical Education programs preparegraduates to teach in elementary, middleschool and senior high schools. Theseprograms have been designed to providethe greatest versatility in qualifying grad-uates for new employment opportunities.Students may qualify for a Bachelor of

Science degree in Health Education orPhysical Education by completing theprescribed program of 129 credits (149credits dual major) and maintaining acumulative GPA of 2.75 with a 2.80average in the major. Required courses inthe major in which the students haveearned a grade of C- or less, (W)Withdrawal, or (UW) Unofficial

Withdrawal cannot be counted towardtheir degree requirements and thereforemust be repeated.The Department of Health, Physical

Education and Movement Science isaware of the need for competent teach-ers; therefore, students are involved inclinical experiences prior to studentteaching in nearby elementary, middle,and senior high schools as observers andparticipants. This, coupled with a strongbackground in their specialization, willhelp our graduates prepare for the chal-lenges of a future career. Prior to accep-tance to the teacher preparatoryprogram, the student’s academic progressis reviewed and assessed by the faculty.The faculty will approve each candidatefor methods and student teaching. TheDepartment has a policy handbook,which is available to all majors. It is theresponsibility of the students to read thehandbook and be familiar with allrequirements.The Department of Health, Physical

Education and Movement Science real-izes the importance for all students to beinformed about significant health issues.The Department also realizes that stu-

dents need to be given the opportunityto be physically active throughout theirundergraduate careers. As such, theDepartment offers numerous generalcourses for all undergraduate students.Courses to improve the health and fit-ness of the student body are offered everysemester. In addition to theory courses,activity courses are also offered to givethe student some basic skills in a varietyof sports and activities. The objectives ofthe activity courses are to provide stu-dents with the basic skills required toparticipate successfully in the sport oractivity as well as understanding basicrules, strategies, and the importance ofregular physical activity for overallhealth and fitness. Students are given abackground in leisure pursuits in order tohelp them maintain a healthy lifestyleduring their years at C.W. Post and aftergraduation. These courses are listedunder Physical Education Skill Courses.

other members of the University commu-nity who have professional responsibilityfor other individuals, accordingly, shouldbe aware that any romantic or sexualinvolvement with a student or employeefor whom they have such a responsibilitymay raise questions as to the mutuality ofthe relationship and may lead to chargesof sexual harassment.
