Arts-Engineering

The Arts-Engineering program provides the student with an opportunity to experience the breadth of an arts education and simultaneously follow the more focused curriculum of an engineering major. This is a five-year, dualdegree program administered by the College of Arts and Sciences. An Arts-Engineering graduate is awarded two bachelors degrees, one from the College of Arts and Sciences and another from the College of Engineering and Applied Science.

A typical freshman year class schedule for an Arts-Engineer is shown below. Note that the Arts-Bioengineering program has a different freshman year class schedule.

freshman year, first semester (1416 credit hours)

Selection of a major in the College of Engineering and Applied Science occurs prior to beginning the sophomore year. A major leading to a degree in the College of Arts and Sciences should be chosen prior to beginning the junior year.

Basic Arts-Engineering programs leading to a bachelor of arts degree from the College of Arts and Sciences and a Bachelor of Science degree in an area of engineering are suggested below. The listed courses may be taken in any order if prerequisites are met. Arts-Engineering candidates should recognize that pursuit of a bachelor of science degree (e.g., biology, chemistry, biochemistry, earth and environmental sciences, mathematics, and physics) or a bachelor of arts program with larger than average credit requirements (e.g., art, architecture, physical sciences, cognitive science, international careers, among others) will severely restrict choices of free electives. For these students, very careful planning of the academic program is necessary to guarantee completion of all major, distribution and total credit requirements for the two degrees in five years.

The designation AS-courses/electives refers to those courses which meet the major and distribution requirements for the degree in the College of Arts and Sciences while other types of electives meet major requirements in the College of Engineering. When selected properly, courses which meet distribution requirements in the College of Arts and Sciences will also satisfy most distribution requirements of the College of Engineering and Applied Science. Note that the bookkeeping used to arrive at the total credits for each dual degree program assumes 31-33 credit hours were earned in the freshman year.

The Asian Studies major is designed to accomplish three goals: to ground the student in a regional language and culture, to survey various disciplines in Asian Studies more broadly, and to provide advanced research opportunities. The program, when successfully completed, prepares the student for further graduate work, professional education, or employment in the public or private sector. There is an increasing demand for graduates who combine a major in a disciplinary field (e.g., business, economics, international relations) with a second major (or minor) in Asian Studies, including Chinese or Japanese language competence.

The major in Asian Studies may have a Chinese studies or a Japanese studies concentration, each requiring a minimum of 9 courses (36 credits). The distribution of credits is as follows:

I. A. 2 years (or 16 credits) of an Asian language which is not the student’s native language;

B. 3 courses (or 10 credits) of humanities and social science courses under the 200 level (see list below);

II. 2 courses from either:

A. Advanced language and culture, or

B. Humanities and social sciences. At lease one course must be at the 300 level.

The academic advisor is Dr. Constance Cook, Director, Asian Studies Program, Maginnes Hall, 9 W. Packer Ave, 758-3091 (cac8). Students may also request an advisor from among the Asian Studies faculty above.

Minor in Asian Studies

The minor in Asian Studies is intended to complement a student’s major field of study and it is flexible according to individual needs. Students are free to survey the field broadly or concentrate in a specific area such as Chinese or Japanese studies. The minor comprises a minimum of 4 courses (16 credits) in Asian studies, chosen from an approved list in consultation with the minor advisor, Dr. Constance Cook, Director, Asian Studies Program, Maginnes Hall, 9 W. Packer Ave, 758-3091 (cac8).

While students minoring in Asian Studies are encouraged to study languages, only 8 credits of language study count towards the Asian Studies minor. Students interested only in language study are encouraged to minor in Chinese or Japanese language (see MLL).

Study Abroad Programs

Students are encouraged to spend a summer, semester, or year in an approved study program in China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, India, or elsewhere in Asia. Students who wish to study abroad, and who wish to have the academic work taken in that program count toward a Lehigh degree, must have a GPA of 3.0 or higher. Any student with a lower GPA may petition the Committee on the Standing of Students for an exception to this rule before applying to an approved study abroad program. These programs are open to all LVAIC students subject to the regulations of their home institutions. For details on all programs, consult Neil McGurty, Director, Study Abroad Office, Coxe Hall, 32 Sayre Dr, 610-758-3351, (www.lehigh.edu/studyabroad).

Astronomy and Astrophysics

Professors. George E. McCluskey, Jr., Ph.D. (Pennsylvania), head; Gary G. DeLeo, Ph.D.(Connecticut).

Assistant Professors. M. Virginia McSwain, Ph.D. (Georgia State). Astronomy and Astrophysics are offered in the department of Physics.

Astrophysicists apply physics and mathematics to the study of planets, stars, galaxies, pulsars, black holes, quasars and the universe, among many other fascinating objects in order to understand their origin, evolution and ultimate fate. Students who major in astronomy or astrophysics usually have very inquisitive minds and a good aptitude for physics and mathematics. The bachelor degree programs in astronomy and astrophysics provide the student with a solid background in laboratory and theoretical astrophysics as well as in the fundamentals of physics and mathematics. Research opportunities are available to supplement classroom instruction.

The bachelor of science degree in astrophysics is designed for students who wish to go on to graduate studies in astrophysics with the goal of becoming professional astronomers. Professional astronomers generally find positions at colleges, and universities, national labs, NASA or its contractors and in various space industries. This degree also prepares you for many jobs in related fields such as computer science, mathematics or physics.

The bachelor of arts degree in astronomy is intended for students who desire a broad background in astronomy, mathematics and physics but do not plan to do graduate work in astrophysics. With this broad background, the student is well prepared in many fields of endeavor, including planetarium and museum work, teaching astronomy at colleges and universities, secondary educa tion, science writing, or, in fact, in many professions in which the ability to learn is critical.

Both of these degrees can be profitably combined with physics, mathematics, and other sciences producing excellent double majors or double degrees.

A minor program in astronomy is also available for students who wish to enlarge their potential for a career choice or who may be eager to learn more about astrophysics than an introductory course can provide.
