The Miami Plan for Liberal Education:
Focus: Advanced Liberal Learning
(12 semester hours): Thematic Sequence (9)
|
Thematic Sequence (9 hours minimum)
A Thematic Sequence is a series of related courses (usually three) that focus on a theme or subject in a developmental way. Each course builds upon or expands upon knowledge or perspective gained from preceding courses, and some sequences prepare students for Capstone Experiences. The first course in a sequence may be from a Foundation group and may count as hours in both Foundation and Thematic Sequence requirements. Advanced Placement credit may be used for the first Foundation course in a sequence and transfer credit may be applied to one course in a sequence. In interdepartmental Thematic Sequences, students must select those courses that are offered outside their department of major. For example, English majors who enroll in a Thematic Sequence comprised of English and history courses must sign up for the history courses.
|
You must complete at least one Thematic Sequence outside the department of your major. Exceptions to this requirement include students with double majors in two different academic departments and students with minors in academic departments different from their majors. Students who wish to meet the Thematic Sequence requirement through a double major or minor option must complete the second major or minor. Students who enter the university in the 1997-98 academic year or later may use a minor in lieu of a Thematic Sequence only if the minor includes a Thematic Sequence. For information on such minors, see the Office of Liberal Education
Typically, you are expected to complete most of your Foundation Courses before beginning a Thematic Sequence. To enroll in a sequence, contact the person or department listed in the Curricular Guide to the Miami Plan for Liberal Education, the Course Schedule, or the Course Planning Guide.
The Curricular Guide to the Miami Plan for Liberal Education, available from the Office of Liberal Education, provides a current listing of Thematic Sequences and detailed information including the frequency of course offerings.
