ISCHOOLOFARTSANDSCIENCES:CURRICULA
This cha pter presents departmental majors and minors , and the courses, with their descriptions, offered by each department. In a course description where the course numbers for a two-semester course are separated by a hyphen, either half of the course may be taken independently for credit, and in any order unless a pre requisite is stated.
Note: Undergraduate courses at the University of Richmond long were numbered in the range 0-399, with 300 level being the most advanced. Beginning with d1e 1990 fall term , undergraduate course numbers may exte nd through the 400 level ; howeve1; not all departments have renumbered their courses. Therefore , it should not necessarily be concluded that a department w id1 400-level courses has more advanced offerings tha n a department having only 300- level courses as its highest.

The core premise of American Studies is quite simple: no discipline or perspective can satisfactorily encompass the diversity and variation that have marked American society and cultu re from the very beginning. Therefore , the American Studies major is constructed as an interdisciplinary program that invites st ud ents to combine courses from a variety of academic fields in order to create their own, uniqu e study of America. Some may favor sociological, historical or political interpretations; others may be drawn to literary or visual modes of interpretation. However individual majors fashion their cou rses of stud y, each major will have an opportunity to engage a range of topics and faculty members in a discussion of what is entailed in the study of American society and culture.
TheAmericanStudiesMajor
Note: The grade point average of the coursework compr ising the major must be no less than 2.00 with no course grade below C- (1.70)
The major is divided into three major areas: American Identities , Culture and Representation, and Politics and Beliefs. In addition to the introduction to the major and the capstone se mina1; majors take one 300-level course from each of the three areas, and four other courses that must be from at least two differen t departments. We have coded our se minars and qualifying courses from other departments into these loosely defined areas.
The major requires nine courses for a total of 3236 semeste r hours se lected from the courses below and distributed as follows:
A. AMST201 Introduction to American Studies, 4
B. Seven American Studies courses at the 300-level* or higher
One from each area: American Ident ities, Culture and Representation , and Politics and Beliefs, 9-12
Four courses, 12-16 hours, at the 300-level' or higher (varies according to home deparu11ent). These must be taken from at least two different departments.
C. AMST400 Seminar in American Studies OR AMST401 Thesis, 4 ('History coursestaken al the 200 level may count as 300-level courses.)
American Studies majors also may choo se to pursue a concent ration in Ethnic Studies. Students choosing this option would be required to take five courses focusing on the questions of ethn icity All of these courses need not study the same e thnic group (i.e., African-American, Native American, Latino/ Latina, etc.).

Prerequisite:Major in Studio Art, Music or Theatr e InterdisciplinaryConcentrationinComparativ e LiteratureforEnglishMajors
The basic assumption behind this concentration is that literary studies can be unduly limited by restrictin g the context and parameters of scholarly inquiry to the literary works of one particular literary tradition , usually defined in fairly narrow geographical and linguistic terms. Comparative literature in the broadest sense may be defined as the text-based investigation of themes, issues and works of art, free from the fetters of artificial geographical, cultural, political or discipli nary demarcations. As such, students of comparative literature achieve a greater awareness of certain bound aries involved in the traditional s tudy of literatur enational, linguistic, generic, disciplinary, etc. - an<lof the issues and advantages involved in crossing those boundaries. In this concentration, students willing to acquire additiona l linguistic and disciplinary skills will develop the habits and tools necessary to ad dress problems or topics of interest from a number of lit· erary and disciplinary perspect ives.

LAWANDTHELIBERALARTS
Nancy E. Schauber (Philosophy ) , Coordinator Law and the Liberal Arts was created in 2003 as an interd isciplinary minor that consists of courses from across the curriculum. The courses that count toward the minor are those that are generally recommended
by law schools for students thinking about going to law school. The purpose of the courses within the minor are not to prepare students for law school, but to prepare one to think criticallyand analytically as a well-rounded liberal artist.
TheLawandtheLiberalArtsMinor
Students must receive a C- or above for these courses to count toward the minoi:
The courses are divided into eight areas: Law,American History, Economics, Ethics, Legal System, Logical Reasoning,Public Speaking and Debate, and Writing.
In order to complete a Law and the Liberal Arts minor; a student must take one course in Area 1 and one course in five of the remaining areas (see below). No more than three of the courses to be applied toward the minor may be from any one department.

TheMathematicalEconomicsMajor
The mathematical economics (MATH-ECON)major includes courses taught by faculty in both the n 1the· matics and economics departments. Faculty men tiers. graduate students, and recent Ph.D.s ranked analytical skills and mathematics as the most important ,kills necessary for success in the graduate study ot economics.The MATH-ECONmajor is designed to ck\'elop those skills. Additionally,the combined major pruvides a stronger, more coordinated curriculum for stuJen~ who would otherwise major in econom ics or bu:,iness and minor in mathematics.

Dual-Degree(3-2)EngineeringProgram
In cooperation with selected engineering schools, the Uni\'ersity offers the opportunity for students interested in engineering careers to earn two bachelor's degrees in five years, one from the the niversity of Richmond and another from a cooperating engineering school. Called the 3-2 Engineering Program, a student spends three years at Richmond, completing all of the general education requirements, almost all of the requirements for a major in physics, plus selected other courses. The student spends the remaining two years at the engineering school. The School of Engineering and Applied Science at George Washington Universityis a participant. The Physics Department's pre-engineeringadviser can provide informationabout participatingprograms and requirements.
