Major Requirements:
College of Arts and Science

American Studies: Bachelor of Arts

For information contact the director of American Studies Program, 164 Upham Hall (513-529-5333).

This program is for students interested in the study of culture in the United States from an interdisciplinary perspective. Drawing from a range of disciplines and approaches, students have the opportunity to explore issues of political, social, and regional identity, cultural diversity, and national character, as well as public and popular culture as they have evolved from the colonial period to the present. The major encourages the study of the complex modern society of the United States as a whole, and at the same time allows students to pursue their particular interests by developing an area of concentration within the field. These concentrations might focus on historical moments, geographical regions, or social groups; or modes of thinking, expression or behavior, as well as public history and museum studies. Students are able to work with the program director to define their own program of study and combine courses in creative ways.

For a complete list of courses that fulfill requirements, please contact the director.

Classical Humanities: Bachelor of Arts

For information contact the Department of Classics, 105 Irvin Hall (513-529-1480).

Classics is the study of literature, art, history, archaeology, philosophy, and languages of the ancient Greeks and Romans. Achievements of Greco-Roman civilization are important to study for their inherent power and beauty and for the extraordinary influence they have on cultures that followed. Study of the Greco-Roman world deepens your understanding of the origins of Western culture and offers alternatives to social, political, and cultural values of our world. This major gives you a broad spectrum of classical culture and civilization without primary emphasis on study in classical languages.

Graduate work in Classics, Greek, or Latin requires not only appropriate experience reading Greek and Latin, but a reading knowledge of French or German as well. Students planning to go to graduate school should consult with the department as early as possible to design an appropriate course of study.

Program Requirements (24 semester hours)

All of these:
CLS 101 Greek Civilization in its Mediterranean Context (3)
CLS 102 Introduction to Roman Civilization (3)

Choose from such areas as anthropology, architecture, art, history, language, literature, philosophy, and religion to make up an integrated plan of study in classical humanities. Eight hours of Greek or Latin at the 100 level may be counted toward this requirement. You must obtain the written approval of your adviser for any related hours courses.

Knowledge of at least one other foreign language is recommended.

Economics: Bachelor of Arts
For information contact the Department of Economics 208 Laws Hall (513-529-2836).

This is one of two programs Miami offers in economics. The other is business-economics in the School of Business Administration. The same core of economics courses is required for both majors; the difference is the divisional requirements. You should choose this program if you are interested in a liberal arts background in addition to your major.

Honors in Economics
To receive departmental honors, you must meet all of these requirements:

• Completion of ECO 315 and 317 during your junior year with at least a 3.5 g.p.a. If you have not completed this by the end of your junior year, you are not permitted to enroll in ECO 480, 482 except as approved by the honors coordinator.
• Completion of ECO 480, 482 with at least a 3.5 g.p.a.
• Attainment of a minimum 3.5 g.p.a.. for all economics courses.
• Completion of a minimum of 30 hours of economics including ECO 412 and at least one additional course other than ECO 480, 482 that requires ECO 315 and/or 317 as prerequisite.

Program Requirements (30 semester hours)

All of these:
ECO 201 Principles of Microeconomics (3)
ECO 202 Principles of Macroeconomics (3)
ECO 315 Intermediate Microeconomic Theory (3)
ECO 317 Intermediate Macroeconomic Theory (3)

Eighteen additional hours in economics, including at least six hours in courses that require ECO 315 and/or 317 as prerequisite.

At least nine hours of advanced economics (numbered above 300) must be taken at Miami, including ECO 315 and 317. Any exception to this must be approved by the director of undergraduate studies.

Graduate work in classics, Greek, or Latin requires not only appropriate experience reading Greek and Latin, but a reading knowledge of German and French as well. Students planning to go to graduate school should consult with the department as early as possible to design an appropriate course of study..
