It is accessible via Interstate 70 Exits 15 (PA 43), 16 (Speers) or 17 (PA 88, Charleroi) or via U.S. 40 (PA 43 or 88). The Mon Valley Fayette Expressway (PA 43) links California to the federal Interstate Highway System. The University is approximately 30 minutes from Exit 8 (New Stanton) of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and an hour from Pittsburgh International Airport. The main campus consists of 98 acres, including the Phillipsburg annex. The 98-acre recreation complex, George H. Roadman University Park, is located just over a mile from campus. This complex includes a football stadium, an all-weather track, tennis courts, a baseball diamond, a softball diamond, soccer and rugby fields, a cross country course, areas for intramural sports and picnic facilities. Adjoining Roadman Park is the 94-acre SAI Farm, purchased in 2010. The parcel includes a cross country course, recreation space and a farmhouse that has been renovated for student meetings. Together, Roadman Park and the SAI Farm comprise the University's upper campus. In the University’s award-winning residence halls, students enjoy the comfort and convenience of on-campus living, usually sharing a bathroom with no more than one other person. All residence halls are air-conditioned and have state-of-the-art sprinkler and security systems. Roadman Park is the site of an upper-campus housing complex, Vulcan Village, whose residents live in attractive, furnished garden-style apartments owned by the nonprofit Student Association Inc. Most Vulcan Village apartments have individual baths, living room, dining area, completely furnished kitchen (including dishwasher and microwave) and full-size washer and dryer. Vulcan Flyer shuttles make it easy for Vulcan Village residents to ride to and from the main campus. The geographic location of the University gives the resident student opportunities to explore and pursue a wide variety of activities. The University is a short drive from scenic locations for camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, white-water rafting, canoeing and skiing. In addition to varied cultural activities on campus, students have easy access to the Pittsburgh metropolitan area, located only 35 miles north of the campus. This provides an opportunity to enjoy the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra; the Pittsburgh Ballet; the Civic Light Opera; the David L. Lawrence Convention Center; the Pittsburgh Steelers, Penguins and Pirates; various museums; and all of the excitement and attractions of a major metropolitan area. History The institution that is now California University of Pennsylvania began as an academy in 1852. It has evolved over the years into a comprehensive university, one of the 14 state-owned institutions that comprise Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education. 1852: A two-story academy, offering education from kindergarten through college, is established in the recently founded community of California, Pa. 1865: The academy obtains a charter as a normal school for its district and becomes a teacher-preparatory institution. 1874: The institution is renamed the South-Western Normal School. 1914: The commonwealth acquires the institution and renames it the California State Normal School. The curriculum becomes exclusively a two-year preparatory course for elementary school teachers. 1928: The institution becomes California State Teachers College, returning to its previous status as a four-yeardegree-granting institution, concentrating on industrial arts and special education. 12 California University of Pennsylvania 1959: Liberal arts curricula are introduced and the college becomes California State College. 1962: A graduate program is introduced. 1974: The college develops a special mission in science and technology. 1983: On July 1, 1983, the college becomes part of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education and changes its name to California University of Pennsylvania. 1983: The College of Science and Technology becomes fully operational. 1996: The College of Science and Technology is renamed the Eberly College of Science and Technology, honoring the Eberly Foundation for its philanthropic generosity. 1998: The University formally adopts three core values: integrity, civility and responsibility. 2002: The University Council of Trustees formally adopts a list of rights and responsibilities. 2004-2007: The University responds to student needs and completely redesigns the concept of residence life.

University Police The California University Police Department is a fully recognized law enforcement agency as authorized by 71 P.S. 646, the Administrative Code of 1929 as amended and Title 18 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Status (Crimes and Offenses), and 24 P.S. 20-1006-A (14) 20-10A (5) of the State System of Higher Education Act. The department consists of professionally trained individuals capable of responding to requests for assistance in routine and emergency situations. The department, a diverse group of police officers, communications officers and secretarial staff, provides continuous 24-hour assistance to the University community. The staff includes a director/chief, assistant chief, four lieutenants (three patrol supervisors and one criminal investigator), one specialist/K-9 handler and 11 additional commissioned police officers that have received certification from a MPOETC- approved Act 120 police academy. Two security officers (dispatchers) and an administrative assistant contribute to the operation of the department. Cal U's Police Department has also established a K-9 unit that will help track lost persons, recover evidence and engage in drug searches and public relations activities, in addition to day-to-day patrol of campus. Additional services offered to University students, faculty and staff include parking and traffic management, criminal investigations, health, fire and safety surveys, special event planning, accident investigation and crime prevention information and presentations. Pursuant to the Pennsylvania College and University Security Act and the Federal Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990, postsecondary institutions, including colleges and universities, must annually make available to all applicants, students and employees information with respect to campus crime statistics and the security policies of the institution. The information is compiled by Cal U and made available through the Office of Admissions, Office of Student Affairs and University Police and on the University website. Louis L. Manderino Library LOUIS L. MANDERINO LIBRARY is committed to providing the resources needed to support the research needs of Cal U students. This includes a substantial collection of peer-reviewed journals, books (including ebooks), online research databases and audiovisual materials. In addition to our collections, the library provides both individual and collaborative study areas, including private rooms for group use. To help reduce the stress of studying, the library has vending machines with drinks and snacks, a collection of popular DVDs, a graphic novel collection and a selection of popular reading books. Electronic Resources: Online information retrieval has made library research more thorough and more efficient. Using the library's research databases and online catalog, students can quickly locate and access an impressive collection of scholarly journals, magazines, books, e-books, newspapers and audiovisual materials. All of the library's electronic resources are accessible from on- and off-campus locations, so students can research anywhere they have Internet access. Since the library is constantly working to provide the best resources for our students, please visit the library's website (https://library.calu.edu) for the current list of library resources. Research Services and Library Instruction: With so many research options available, it can be daunting to know how to search effectively. Help with this process is available to students from the research librarians. 22 California University of Pennsylvania Students are encouraged to contact the librarians through scheduled personal appointments, in the library or by telephone, email, chat, text or a Zoom online meeting. Cal U librarians are faculty members and work with classroom professors to provide instruction sessions to students regarding the effective use of library resources in their coursework. Shared Library Resources and Interlibrary Loan: Beyond our own collections, Cal U participates in several resource-sharing programs that offer students a wealth of additional resources. When Manderino Library does not have the book a student needs, the online E-ZBorrow system allows students to request books from scores of academic libraries in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, New Jersey and New York. This system is both fast and free. If the book cannot be obtained from an E-ZBorrow library, or if a student needs an article that is not available in the library’s journal resources, these can be requested from other libraries through our Interlibrary Loan Office. 23 Admissions - Undergraduate Admissions Admissions How to Apply to California University of Pennsylvania Address inquiries to: Admissions Office California University of Pennsylvania 250 University Ave. California, PA 15419-1394 Phone: 724-938-4404 Toll Free: 1-888-412-0479 Fax: 724-938-4564 Email Address: admissions@calu.edu Apply online at calu.edu/apply We encourage applicants to schedule an appointment to visit the University at calu.edu/visit General Admission Requirements To be considered for admission as a degree-seeking student, applicants must submit the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

All credentials presented in support of an application for admission become the property of the University. The International Admissions official will exercise professional judgment in the context of the student’s education system in their nation of origin. Assuming that all records indicate that international students could be successful, final admission is contingent upon acceptable clearance from the education authorities of the home country and from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). International students seeking to transfer to California University of Pennsylvania must submit the above items in addition to certified English translations of transcripts from all postsecondary schools attended for admission. Visiting Students Students who wish to enroll at Cal U with the expectation of transferring credits to their home institution and do not wish to receive a degree from Cal U are classified as visiting students. Admission is granted for the approved semester only. For more information regarding the admissions process for visiting students, contact the Office of Admissions at 724-938-4404 or admissions@calu.edu. 26 Admissions - Undergraduate Admissions Non-degree Students Students may take courses at Cal U without being a candidate for a degree. Non-degree students must submit a completed application, application fee and all appropriate official transcripts to the Office of Admissions. Tuition and fees are the same as for degree-seeking students. Students may complete up to 30 credits in a non-degreeseeking status. After reaching 30 credits, students must either declare a major or indicate in writing that they do not plan to pursue a degree at Cal U. For more information, contact the Office of Admissions at 724-938-4404.

Transfer Student Policies Please contact the Office of Articulation and Transfer Evaluation at 724-938-5939 or transfer@calu.edu for answers to any questions regarding articulation agreements or transfer credits. Student Transfer Policy California University of Pennsylvania (Cal U) does not set a maximum number of transferable credits. The following requirements apply to undergraduate students: • All first baccalaureate degree students will take at least 30 of the last 60 credits from Cal U. • All first associate degree students will take at least 15 of their last 30 credits from Cal U. • All first baccalaureate and associate students must complete at least 50% of the major coursework from any of the 14 universities that comprise the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. • All students completing their first undergraduate certificate must take at least 50% of the credits required for the certificate from one of the 14 universities that comprise the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. • All students completing their first undergraduate minor must take at least 50% of the credits required for the minor from one of the 14 universities that comprise the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. Grades of “D” or above will be accepted for transfer. Grades in a course submitted for a major/minor program requirement must meet the minimum grade required by the department in the parallel course. The academic department reserves the right to require the course be repeated at Cal U if the minimum grade requirement is not met. When courses are transferred, only the credits are counted. The grades of transfer courses are not included when the Cal U grade point average is calculated. 27 Admissions - Undergraduate Admissions Courses taken at a community college or proprietary school, the equivalents of which are designated as upperlevel courses at Cal U, will only transfer in as upper-level major equivalent courses upon the approval of the department. If the department deems the course is not an upper-level equivalent course, it will transfer in as an elective in the major area. Developmental courses are not transferrable to Cal U. Although credits will always transfer according to these provisions, regulations that govern the national professional accreditation of certain programs offered at Cal U may not permit some courses taken in programs not similarly accredited at other two- and four-year institutions to be transferred as the equivalents of courses that may be similarly entitled or described at Cal U. Students who transfer to Cal U under an approved Program-toProgram Articulation Agreement are guaranteed to transfer into a parallel bachelor degree program with junior standing.

Developmental courses do not count toward the 120 credits necessary for graduation, but are calculated in your overall GPA. Additional Requirements • Music: Each student is required to become an accomplished performer on an instrument of their choice. This entails students being able to read, write and analyze a musical score, to perform in an ensemble setting and to then apply their musical understanding to popular or commercial applications. Students perform regularly in one (or more) of the 11 ensembles at Cal U in order to gain professional performance experience, both on and off campus. Students also complete projects in capstone music theory courses (for example, composition/arranging projects, film score projects, etc.) that aide them in applying the theoretical knowledge to which they are exposed. • Technology: The CMT program’s five-course Music and Recording Technology (MRT) curriculum focuses on providing students with solid foundational knowledge within the disciplines of audio engineering and modern music production. The curriculum is experiential in nature, focusing on having students apply theoretical knowledge of acoustics, signal flow, recording, editing and mixing audio in various classroom projects and on-campus activities. To ensure students gain additional hands-on-experience, each student is required to earn a total of 6 credits of "special experience." These experience credits are earned through the student’s choice of on-campus practicum assignments, off-campus internships or a senior recital/project. Examples of on-campus special experience assignments include audio engineering responsibilities for any of our departmental 287 Department of Culture, Media, and Performance ensembles, music recital and performance archive engineer, sporting events audio engineer, university event and ceremony audio engineer. Lastly, Cal U is one of only a few recognized Academic Avid Learning Partners in the state of Pennsylvania that prepares and tests students for professional certifications of Avid software products, including Pro Tools, one of the music industry’s standards for music production. The MRT curriculum incorporates extensive exploration and usage of Pro Tools hardware and software. Students are provided with the opportunity to take a certification exam, which (if passed) awards them with a professional certification in Pro Tools. This professional certification provides our degree seekers with an employment advantage both regionally and nationally. • Entrepreneurship: Finding success in today’s entertainment industry depends just as much upon understanding business and entrepreneurship as upon music and media. Cal U’s CMT program requires students to take business courses that encourage them to think of their artistic skills as marketable business assets. Courses such as Financial Accounting, Principles of Marketing and The Music Industry offer students a broad perspective on how to think critically and competitively. Students also attend weekly convocation meetings in the music department that feature guest speakers, guest performances, etc. Our guests have included touring musicians, professional sound engineers, recording studio owners, lighting designers and songwriters, and each has shared their business, experiences and insight into the music and media industries. Program Webpage https://www.calu.edu/academics/undergraduate/bachelors/commercial-music-technology/index.aspx B.S. in Commercial Music Technology: Commercial Music Business Concentration Program Description The commercial music business (CMB) concentration of the Bachelor of Science in Commercial Music Technology follows the three-tiered curricular structure of the Commercial Music Technology (CMT) degree, but places greater emphasis on business and entrepreneurship training. Students enrolled in the CMB program take approximately 18 additional business credits when compared to a CMT major (9 credits). CMB students have the option of customizing their business studies in order to place them on a fast-track for completing a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) one year after their four-year CMB studies. Note: Students wishing to enroll in the Commercial Music Business program must go through the audition process outlined on the Cal U website.

Honors Program students desire to pursue intellectual and creative growth beyond the usual requirements of their major field of study and intend to cultivate their individual and personal aspirations to learn. Honors Program students and faculty expect to explore and participate in scholarly, professional and artistic exercises outside the classroom; they engage in community service activities, which complement their academic studies and nurture their personal sense of commitment and communal responsibility. Honors students anticipate exercising leadership while at California University of Pennsylvania; they prepare to become leaders while students in our program, and they expect to continue as leaders when they graduate. Membership Membership in the University Honors Program is by invitation only. However, the Honors Program promotes outstanding intellectual achievement throughout the University, and undergraduate students in any program or division of the University may participate in the Honors Program. Each year, the applications of all incoming firstyear and transfer students are reviewed, and those students with the very highest indicators of past and future academic success are invited to apply to participate in the Honors Program. Programs Each summer (since 1985), two Honors Program students receive scholarships to participate in the PASSHE Summer Honors Program. This program is noted for its academic quality and its opportunity, typically, to study abroad in such places as: • • • • • • • • • Egypt (2010) Oxford, England (2012) London, Salzburg, Vienna, Venice and Rome (2013) Canada (2014) Norway (2015) Spain (2016) Belize (2017 Vienna and Sarajevo (2018) Poland (2019) Honors students have the opportunity to live in Smith Honors Hall, which gives them easy access to educational, social and recreational programing. The Honors Program maintains a computer lab in Smith Hall for the exclusive use of honors students and faculty. All honors courses are held in the Smith Hall classroom as well. Honors students are encouraged to be active scholars and present their work at local, regional, national and international conferences as well as in international publications. Awards Currently, the Honors Program annually presents the following awards: • Senior Thesis Project Award • Outstanding Honors Program Graduating Senior Award 476 Honors Program • Outstanding Honors Program Service Award Curriculum Courses designated as honors courses are restricted to members of the Honors Program and are offered at all class levels. In such courses, enrollment is kept low to encourage and ensure close interaction between student and professor. Additionally, most regular University course offerings at all levels may have an honors component. In such courses (called addenda), honors students fulfill the same requirements as other students in the class, but honors students perform certain independent work, which is designed to enhance the regular departmental courses and which is agreed upon in writing by the student, the professor and the Honors Program. In all such courses, the successful completion of the course and its honors component is indicated on the student's transcript. Honors Program students are expected to maintain a minimum grade-point average sufficient to achieve the dean's list and to graduate with honors. Additionally, students must complete a minimum of 24 credits, including addenda and thesis project, within the Honors Program.

It gives you the tools, training and experiences that will help you succeed in any competitive environment. Along with great leadership training, Army ROTC can pay for your college tuition. (Because Army ROTC is an elective, you can participate your freshman and sophomore years without any obligation to join the Army.) You will have a normal college student experience like everyone else on campus, but when you graduate, you will be commissioned as an Officer in the Army, Army National Guard or Army Reserve. At that point, you will have a wide range of interest areas you can specialize in called branches. ROTC is traditionally a four-year program consisting of basic and advanced programs. The basic program is usually taken in the freshman and sophomore years. The student incurs no military obligation. Students may discontinue the basic program at any time. It consists of four semesters of training and instruction on areas of national defense, land navigation, small-unit leadership, military history and leadership development. Uniform, necessary textbooks and equipment are furnished without cost to the student. To be eligible for the basic program, a student must be enrolled as a full-time student at California University of Pennsylvania and not be a conscientious objector. Students who have taken Junior ROTC or have military experience (Active Duty, National Guard or Reserve) may receive advanced placement credit for the basic program. Who We're Looking For Those who succeed in the Army ROTC program are students who excel and want something more out of the college experience. Generally, these students are scholars who keep their grades up, athletes who are physically fit and leaders who have a great desire to learn. Your Commitment Army ROTC students who receive an Army ROTC scholarship or enter the Army ROTC Advanced Course must agree to complete a period of service with the Army. You can serve full time in the Army, or those who qualify may choose to serve part time as a member of the Army National Guard or Army Reserve while pursuing a civilian career. It's an experience that you can't get anywhere else. Your leadership skills will be challenged every day. Contact your campus Military Science department for more specific details on your Army ROTC service commitment. The Army ROTC program at California University of Pennsylvania is a satellite program delegated by the University of Pittsburgh Military Science Program; classes take place on the California University of Pennsylvania campus. For additional information not covered above, contact the Military Science Department at 724-884-3727 or 724-938-1679, or visit our office located in The Military and Veterans Center or Excellence, Residence Hall E, rooms 146 and 157. * Enrolling in the Army ROTC Basic Course does NOT involve a commitment of service to the Army unless you have received an Army ROTC Scholarship.

Additionally, students in First-Year Seminar explore career options through the use of the FOCUS 2 Career Assessment and the development of Career Advantage Plans offered by the CPDC. A special course, XCP 194 (Career Planning) is offered to assist students in confirming and/or clarifying career objectives. Moreover, TRIO and the Office of Career and Professional Development are integral resources for students with questions about their majors, the types of careers in specific majors, the future availability of jobs in an area or simply what they want to do in life. 484 General Education Requirements General Education Courses California University of Pennsylvania believes that a liberal education is essential for all students, regardless of the profession for which they may be preparing. The purpose of the General Education program is to provide the foundation on which a student's education rests and can continue to expand throughout life. The goals, objectives and courses that comprise the General Education program are designed to provide students with the knowledge, understanding and skills they will need to pursue their careers and to lead productive and rewarding lives. As stated in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education Board of Governors Policy 1993-01, "The most important outcomes [of the General Education Curriculum] consist not so much in the mastery of particular bodies of knowledge as in the acquisition of skills, values, awareness, understanding, perspective and appreciation needed for continuing professional and personal growth in a rapidly changing world." General Education includes broadly defined essential skills and knowledge needed to live healthy, ethical, fulfilling and productive lives in the modern world. However, General Education goes beyond simply fostering a particular set of skills, but additionally aims to place those skills in a wider context so that students develop the ability and habit of applying them to every aspect of their lives. General Education ensures that our graduates' education is comprehensive, introducing a wide variety of experiences, worldviews and methodologies by sampling diverse academic disciplines. At Cal U, the General Education curriculum follows naturally from the core values of the University: integrity, civility and responsibility. Students experience these values not only in their chosen area of specialization, but also more broadly in their exposure to the arts, humanities, and social and natural sciences. This liberal education provides the essential basis for building character and careers in an increasingly dynamic world. Students are required to complete 40-41 credits of General Education coursework. This requirement is achieved by taking courses in a series of different "menus," each of which is designed to address a particular set of educational goals. Each menu has a list of courses that satisfy the menu goals. Students may select any course from the menu, unless their major program of study mandates a particular choice. Students should always consult with an academic adviser or their department chair regarding program-specific requirements. 485 General Education Courses: Building a Sense of Community Building a Sense of Community (1 Cr.) Overview Students will have a common core of integrated educational experiences, learning how to become excellent students; how to survive and thrive in a college environment; and how to achieve their educational, personal and career goals. Students will develop the skills necessary to adjust to University life; they will sense that the curriculum is organically related and holistic, not a collection of courses. Educational Goals: • To foster academic success through understanding the University; • To establish a foundation of knowledge on resources and skills necessary to be a successful college student; • To cultivate campus connections and supportive networks of faculty, staff and students; • To increase awareness of career choices and opportunities available for professional growth and development; and, • To develop and enhance critical-thinking skills. Note: As of publication of this catalog, UNI 100 will not be required for incoming students in the Fall of 2021; however, students must still complete the total number of credits required by their program (generally 60 for an associate degree and 120 for a bachelor's degree) to graduate. 486 General Education Courses: Composition Composition (3-6 Crs.) Overview Students will have the ability to develop and present ideas clearly in writing. Communication skills include "those required for effective reading, writing, speaking and listening" and "awareness of the challenges of cross-cultural communication" (PASSHE BOG Policy 1993-01). Educational Goals: Knowledge and Comprehension • To demonstrate a capacity to carry out the planning, drafting, revising and editing stages of the writing process; • To construct, explain and illustrate the interpretations of readings; and • To recognize both what a text says and how it works (its rhetorical strategies). Application and Analysis • To analyze the elements of the writing situation (subject, purpose, audience) as a foundation for writing, and • To apply rhetorical strategies in writing. Intermediate Composition Intermediate Composition is not required for all academic majors. Please consult with your adviser or department chair to determine the specific requirements for your program. Educational Goals: Application and Analysis • To produce prose that is clear, coherent, convincing and correct; and • To apply strategies for effective cross-cultural communication. Synthesis and Evaluation • To write papers that formulate original positions on a problem or issue in the context of a synthesis of multiple primary and/or secondary sources; • To assess the usefulness and reliability of potential print, electronic and primary research for a proposed research report; and • To plan, develop and write appropriately documented and formatted academic and/or professional texts. NOTE: "Effective cross-cultural communication" here entails writers paying attention to how their texts might best be crafted for particular audiences, whether those audiences be professional or general.

Programs may choose to require a specific course (or subset of courses) from the list. Students should check their advisement sheet or consult with an adviser to be sure of any specific requirements. All EMEL courses are General Education menu courses that have a particular focus and primary emphasis on (at least) one of these two areas: Multicultural Awareness Students will become knowledgeable about cultural similarities and differences. Students will gain an "understanding of how people's experiences and perspectives are shaped by gender, ethnicity, culture and other factors that distinguish groups of people, coupled with recognition of common elements within human experiences that transcend time, space, race and circumstance" (PASSHE BOG Policy 1993-01). Multicultural awareness assists individuals, regardless of ethnicity, gender, disability, social class or race, to understand and appreciate events and people from various points of view. The primary focus of a course on this list must be one or more of the following: gender or gender expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, racial diversity, world religious belief systems or cultural diversity. Educational Goals: • To recognize one's own cultural background and views, including biases and prejudices toward other groups, while comparing and contrasting them with the values, beliefs and practices of other cultural groups; • To outline diversity, either historically or cross-culturally, for the population(s) under study; • To explain how cultural groups define social constructs (e.g., gender roles, gender attribution, gender ideology and gender identity) and how these are expressed; • To identify and explain the social behavior of the population(s) under study; and • To explain why tensions exist between cultural groups and how such tensions are expressed, such as attribution and ideology. Values Students will gain an "understanding of the role of values in personal, professional and civic life; experience in recognizing and analyzing ethical issues" (PASSE BOG Policy 1993-01). The study of ethical values includes the acts, customs and institutions regarded in a particular, usually favorable, way by a group of people.

The Writing-Intensive Component courses require at least 20 pages, or the equivalent thereof, of formal writing that has undergone significant revision based on peer or instructor feedback. The 20-page total may be attained through multiple assignments of varying page length. Educational Goals: Application and Synthesis • To produce prose that is clear, coherent, correct and convincing for readers within the writer's major discipline of study; and • To apply strategies for effective cross-cultural communication. Synthesis and Evaluation • To write papers that formulate original positions on a problem or issue within the writer's major discipline of study in the context of a synthesis of multiple primary and/or secondary sources; • To assess the usefulness and reliability of potential print, electronic and primary research for a proposed research report within the writer's major discipline of study; and • To plan, develop and write discipline-appropriately-documented academic and/or professional texts within the writer's major discipline of study. NOTE: "Effective cross-cultural communication" here entails writers paying attention to how their texts might best be crafted for professional audiences (the usual case in discipline-specific writing) or general audiences (the occasional case).

Central to all the topics are the structures and processes of human interaction. Emphasis is placed on the relationship of natural and social factors in human behavior. Attention also is given to topics such as the meaning and function of culture; the origin, function and characteristics of social institutions; and the genesis and nature of social pathology. Sociologists investigate groups, organizations, and societies, and how people interact within these contexts. It is an expanding field whose potential is increasingly tapped by those who craft policies and create and evaluate 858 Course Descriptions programs. Sociology is an active science: The concepts, theories, and research methods of sociology can be used in practical, concrete ways to create a better world, or simply a better corner of the world. SOC205 - Contemporary Social Problems This course encourages students to think critically and scientifically about a broad array of social problems that affect people throughout the world. These social problems, to name only a few, include those that concern inequality, conflict, and environmental issues. As we study these problems (e.g., assessing how extensive they are, what causes them, possible solutions and their implementation) we must go further than mere description and opinion-based analysis and reach a point where we understand them scientifically and can communicate this understanding to others. Our sociological understanding of social problems will be enhanced by our ability to apply the discipline’s theoretical perspectives to them. Social issues of popular concern in America today, such as poverty, ecology, violence and homosexual rights, are discussed and analyzed from a sociological perspective. Attention is not only given to the content of the issues, but also to the place of statistics in data reporting and analysis; the objective data used in support of interest group claims; and the use of various theoretical schemes in providing alternative explanations for each issue being a social problem. SOC210 - Social Inequality We examine the distribution of key social resources--wealth, power, and status—to groups and individuals, as well as theoretical explanations of how unequal patterns of distribution are produced, maintained, and challenged. In addition to global inequalities, we give special consideration to how race, ethnicity, and gender intersect with social class to produce different life experiences for people in various groups in the United States. SOC211 - Sociology Collective Behavior This course is a descriptive and analytical inquiry into the relatively unstructured social responses to social change. War resistance movements, militia movements, stock market panics, popular fads and crazes are among 859 Course Descriptions the topics considered.

SOC312 - Sociology of Organizations Sociologists have long documented that social life involves interaction with both informal and formal institutions. As such, human interaction with organizations forms the basis for this course study. Examples of these organizations include: churches, workplaces, universities, governments and communities in addition to primary group interaction. Throughout the semester, students will develop an understanding of organizational structure, influence, and empowerment. Activities and assignments during the semester will provide structured opportunities for the student to explore the sociological literature on organizations in contemporary society and to apply that knowledge critically. Specifically, the course material will engage the student with the concepts and tools necessary to analyze the physical and social structures of organizations, technology in organizations, 861 Course Descriptions organizational environments and cultural influence on organizations. Cultural focus will explain concepts of power, control, and conflict within organizations while enabling the student to become proficient in organizational competency as it relates to the group process. A variety of theoretical frameworks will be investigated in order to investigate multiple perspectives on any given issue. SOC315 - Social Minorities Students will analyze the dynamics of social minority status specific to ethnicity, racial classification, gender, disability, and sexual orientation, and how minority status is socially constructed. Students will also examine societal responses to minority status and attempts to change this status. Finally, students will select one minority group in another country and compare it to one in the United States. Historically, every group of immigrants to the U.S. that did not come from England has experienced some degree of exclusion, discrimination, or racism that temporarily (or permanently) transformed them into “minorities.” This course examines the racial and ethnic experiences of those groups (and various other minority groups that are based in sex and gender, social class, sexual orientation, and disability) to see how their experiences have shaped and changed U.S. society. We will start by examining how we construct these categories of difference, then go on to how difference is experienced, what difference means, and finally how we might bridge these differences. Interspersed throughout these academic readings, we will read an urban ethnography that examines race relations in Philadelphia in order to practice applying our sociological concepts to a real-world setting. Students who take this course should gain a much better understanding of why various minority groups act as they do, allowing them to live and work effectively in different multicultural environments.

A multicultural/multiidentity perspective is used for analysis in the course. SOC378 - Charismatic Leaders This course examines the nature of the social relationship between charismatic leaders and their followers. Charismatic leaders are selected from a wide variety of religious, social, economic and political contexts for study. Charismatic authority, unlike traditional authority, is a revolutionary and unstable form of authority, especially if the leader cannot produce the changes promised or when confronted by the contradictory logic and demands of the other types of authority. Each leader is evaluated in terms of his/her charismatic qualities and success or failure in bringing about stated goals. Each leader is also evaluated in terms of his/her contribution to the concepts and theories of charismatic leadership. 864 Course Descriptions SOC379 - Special Problems in Sociology This course permits students to explore the rich variety of topics studied by sociologists.

The nature and extent, causes and consequences, and proposed remedies will be explored in relation to their social contexts and historical and contemporary, socially-defined, underpinnings. Specific content will include critical analysis of bullying, fighting, harassment, personal and social risk factors, institutional perceptions and values, inequality, and social status. 865 Course Descriptions SOC405 - Resocializing the Deviant and the Marginalized Entering a new community or returning to one’s community is a complex transition for most people, as well as for their families and communities. A wide range of individuals face this social challenge, including but not limited to those learning English as a second language, military veterans, children transitioning out of the foster care system, those recovering from addictions to alcohol, gambling, and narcotics, those released from medical nursing facilities, released prison inmates, graduates of boarding schools, and consumers of services in MH/ MR and meth clinics. Beginning with the sociological foundation of Erving Goffman’s work on total institutions and resocialization, students will investigate the characteristics of these institutions and their impacts on the individuals in residence, especially when the individual returns to conventional society and community. Students will explore the challenges faced by individuals and communities in a variety of social contexts, evaluate existing reintegration programs, and design a new reintegration plan in a context of their choosing that makes improvements over a previous design.

As such, students will justify the reliability and validity of their research and support that in comprehensive research projects. SOC417 - Field Research Methods This is an advanced research methods course that emphasizes the process of gathering ethnographic data and writing an ethnographic report. Ethnography is an approach to research that enables researchers to look at the social world through the eyes of their informants and requires students to use inductive thinking and reasoning skills. The primary methods used are field interviewing and participant observation: the basic field methodologies of qualitative researchers in anthropology and sociology. Students study a micro-culture of their own choosing throughout the semester then prepare a written report and deliver an oral report on the major findings. SOC429 - Sociology Internship This Special Experience Component course provides students with opportunities to demonstrate the application of knowledge and skills developed through both the discipline of sociology and the General Education program.

Students can receive credit for more than one seminar provided that each seminar focuses on a different topic. Open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors only. This course provides knowledge, skills and values needed to engage in family work as a generalist social worker. This course is a special interest course in the social work curriculum that provides opportunities to explore the role and function of the generalist social worker learning about trauma-informed practice. Trauma across the lifespan is essential knowledge for social workers because it is a risk factor increasing the overall quality of life for both those who experience or work with populations who have been a survivor of traumatic experiences. Given that most people from poorer countries migrate to more prosperous countries, individual who are from the lower socioeconomic income are increasingly vulnerable. As articulated by CSWE: “A reciprocal interaction exists between social, political, and legal systems and the individuals and families traumatized. It affects the systems’ capacity to respond effectively to the needs of affected individuals or families and the capacity of the systems themselves to adjust and recover. Inequities embedded in these systems lead to accumulated disadvantages in access to tangible and intangible sources of social support.

Academic Advising The purpose of academic advising is to provide students with appropriate counsel in pursuing their academic degrees. The University has embraced developmental academic advising, which is a goal- and growth-oriented process helping students assess their strengths and weaknesses; set realistic academic and other goals; and monitor progress toward achievement of these goals. In this process, seven elements are essential and are discussed with students. They are: 1. Advising is a continuous process with accumulation of personal contacts between adviser and student — these contacts have both direction and purpose. 2. Advising must concern itself with quality-of-life issues, and the adviser has a responsibility to attend to the quality of the student’s experience in college. 3. Advising is goal related. The goals should be established and owned by the student and should encompass academic, career and personal development areas. 4. Advising requires the establishment of a caring human relationship, one in which the adviser must take primary responsibility for its initial development. 5. Advisers should be models for students to emulate, specifically demonstrating behaviors that lead to self-responsibility and self-directiveness. 6. Advising should seek to integrate the services and expertise of both academic and student affairs professionals. 7. Advisers should seek to utilize as many campus and community resources as possible. Faculty advisers are available to assist students in planning their academic programs, but students have the responsibility for meeting all requirements for their degrees. Students are urged to take advantage of the advisory and consultation services available at the University. They should feel free to consult with professors, academic advisers, department chairpersons, academic deans, staff of the Scheduling Center in Noss Hall and the provost. All of these University representatives maintain regular office hours for student consultations. Schedules for new students are developed based on preferred schedules approved by the academic departments. All schedules are reviewed by faculty and students before confirmation. Currently enrolled students are expected to seek the appropriate resources. All may register online and some departments place holds on registration until students have visited an adviser. Fulfillment of program requirements for a degree is ultimately the responsibility of the student. 926 Office of Academic Success Academic Scheduling and Placement Testing Center Scheduling Center The Scheduling Center, located in Noss 210/211, coordinates schedule development for all first-time and transfer students and registration in developmental courses and monitors successful completion of work. The Academic Scheduling Center does not replace faculty advising, but helps to coordinate and supplement a student’s academic experience. Students may contact the Scheduling Center by emailing schedulingcenter@calu.edu. Placement Testing Center The Placement Testing Center ensures that students begin with courses that meet their academic needs. If provided, students’ SAT or ACT scores (or transfer credits) will determine whether they are required to take a placement test. The Center serves to coordinate placement testing to determine students’ level of ability in mathematics and writing. Students who do not submit SAT/ACT scores or transfer credits must take placement tests. The Center also provides retesting opportunities for students after waiting a period of time. Students who do not achieve predetermined scores on these tests must enroll in appropriate developmental courses, such as ENG 100 (English Language Skills) and DMA 092 (Introductory Algebra). Because these developmental courses are preparatory to a university academic experience, the credits awarded do not count toward the fulfillment of the number of credits for graduation, nor may they be used in fulfillment of General Education requirements. However, the grades achieved in these courses are used in establishing a student’s grade point average, class standing, eligibility for financial aid and eligibility for participation in co-curricular activities. Moreover, students who do well in preparatory courses also do well in college-level classes. The University offers the opportunity to earn undergraduate credit through the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) and DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST). The CLEP Program includes General and Subject Examinations: • The General Examinations are a series of tests in separate areas: English Composition, Natural Sciences, Mathematics, Humanities and Social Sciences/History. • The Subject Examinations comprehensively test a single subject, such as General Psychology, Microeconomics, etc. A student who passes one of these examinations is awarded credit for a comparable course at the University. The DSST Program offers over 30 different examinations on a single subject, such as Principles of Statistics and Fundamentals of College Algebra. A student who passes one of these examinations is awarded credit for a comparable course at the University. The CLEP and DSST Programs are administered by the Placement Testing Center. A maximum of 30 credits can be earned through CLEP and/or DSST. In addition to the test fee, there is a one-time fee for evaluation and recording of the examination results on a student’s transcript. For additional information, please call 724-938-5779. Academic Support Programs and Services Four-Year Graduation Plan The Four-Year Graduation Plan (FYGP) is a commitment to help students stay on track and earn their undergraduate degree in four years. The no-cost program helps students set academic goals, create clear academic plans and stay on their path by following program guidelines and requirements. The plan provides eligible students with a unique combination of advising, priority course scheduling and individual attention, which helps students graduate in four years. 927 Office of Academic Success Eligible students will be automatically enrolled after attending a New Student Orientation. During the fall semester, students must attend one mandatory meeting, in which an FYGP contract is completed and signed. Exploratory Studies students must declare a major by the last day of their first semester to maintain eligibility and enrollment in the program. The Four-Year Graduation Plan reinforces Cal U’s commitment to student success. Starfish Starfish is an online software tool that provides students with a central location to connect to the people and services that can help students stay on the path to success. Students can access the Starfish system via the Vulcan Information Portal (VIP) and click the Starfish link. Starfish will automatically provide students with connections to current instructors, advisers and campus services. If students have a question or need help, they can “Raise your Hand” in Starfish. The mobile-friendly tool helps faculty, staff and other Cal U community members support students when help is needed. Examples include, but are not limited to, how to schedule classes, identifying an academic adviser, checking faculty office hours and so much more. Success Center in Noss Hall The Success Center in Noss Hall is a centralized campus academic resource for all students, offering students the opportunity to be engaged and competent learners by providing a path to develop and strengthen academic skills for success. Cal U proudly provides a wide range of student support services, one-on-one training, workshops and academic resources that can be tailored to meet individual student needs. Support for Success Support for Success (S4S) is designed for new students identified as those who would benefit from academic support from the very start. Students are notified of their participation through their acceptance letter from Cal U. During the summer, students receive additional information about the program and meet with their Success Center leaders. Throughout the fall semester, students meet with their Success Center leaders and attend workshops to strengthen areas including, but not limited to, proper note taking, the development of study skills, and strengthening writing and speaking skills. Peer Mentoring Program The Peer Mentoring Program is designed to help new students with their transition into Cal U. The program assigns first-semester freshmen and transfer students with current students who have volunteered to be peer mentors. Students are often asked to complete a profile and are matched with current students based on hometown, interests, activities and primarily major of study. The peer mentor serves as a support and resource person who provides information, encouragement and guidance during the student’s first year at Cal U. For more information on peer mentoring, contact mentoring@calu.edu. Vulcan Learning Commons The Vulcan Learning Commons (VLC) is available to all students. Even the highest-achieving students may need academic assistance at some time during college. The Writing Center, STEM Lab, Reading Clinic and Tutoring Center offer no-cost assistance designed to help students perform at their academic best. Trained peer tutors assist students in most curriculum areas. The VLC can be found on the first floor of Noss Hall. Supplemental Instruction Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a nontraditional tutoring method that emphasizes teamwork, group study and engagement to help students succeed in "traditionally challenging" courses. SI is a free program that is available to all students. Students who take part in SI learn both how to learn and what to learn. 928 Office of Academic Success FERPA and Parent/Guest Portal The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects students’ education records and grants students the exclusive right to view and share their education records. Education records include, but are not limited to, transcripts, grades, class schedules, financial aid documents, billing statements and emergency contact information. In VIP, students may register parents and/or other trusted individuals for the Parent/Guest Portal. The portal is Cal U’s secure, online option for authorized parents and individuals to view student education records.

Students, parents and guests with questions about the Parent/Guest Portal may email family@calu.edu. Prior Learning Assessment Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) allows students to receive academic credit for learning acquired through qualifying life experiences when they meet the goals of a particular Cal U course. Qualifying experiences may include: • • • • Work or military training. Personal educational growth. Volunteer work. Independent certifications and/or credentials. Credit is awarded when a student is able to demonstrate transferable learning or knowledge that can be applied to new or different situations.

Cal U provides many resources to administration, faculty and staff, as well as students, to address concerns relating to discrimination on the basis of gender/sex, which includes sexual misconduct, stalking and dating/domestic violence. To this end, Cal U also offers through the Human Resources office an online training program(s) regarding Title IX legislation.
