| GRADUATION
REQUIREMENTS
(New freshman requirement beginning Fall 2002) Beginning in the Fall term of 2002,and thereafter, new freshman will be required to follow the new General Education Curriculum described in number 7 below. Freshmen are students who are beginning college immediately after high school and applicants with 0-44 transferable quarter credits. Continuing students and newly admitted transfer students with 45 or more transferable quarter credit hours may choose to complete the existing General Education Distribution Requirements or may choose to complete the new General Education Curriculum. Beginning Fall 2004, all newly admitted students (freshman, transfer, and readmitted students) will be required to complete the new General Education Curriculum described in number 7 below. The University's graduation requirements reflect our belief that an undergraduate education should provide both breadth and depth and that all educated individuals should possess certain skills, especially the ability to express themselves in writing, in speaking, and in the language of mathematics. The general education curriculum rests on the assumption that every educated person should have some acquaintance with certain traditional areas of human knowledge and experience and be able to synthesize and contextualize this knowledge within their own lives. The mission of the general education program at Eastern Oregon University is to challenge students to become critical, creative thinkers and engaged, knowledgeable citizens, open to new ways of looking at the world. Students will accomplish this through successfully completing courses in Communication and Critical Thinking and General Knowledge, and through other experiences in Reflections and Perspectives. The study within general education matches course objectives with the stated outcomes of the general education program. Students must complete all institutional graduation requirements for the baccalaureate degree as listed below: 1. Complete a minimum of 180 credit hours. 2. Earn an Eastern GPA of at least 2.000 and a composite GPA of 2.000 for all college work taken up until the time that the degree is conferred. A transfer GPA and the Eastern GPA are combined at the time of graduation. 3. Complete a minimum of 60 credit hours of upper division course work (300-400 level courses). 4. Complete all requirements in the major area, including at least 35 credit hours, 25 of which must be in 300 or 400 level courses in the major area. 5. Complete a minimum of forty-five (45) credit hours supervised by Eastern Oregon University Faculty. Thirty (30) of the forty-five (45) credit hours must be upper division. 6. Students may choose to earn a Bachelor of Science degree or a Bachelor of Arts degree for most major programs. The requirements for each are listed below: A. For the Bachelor of Science Degree: -Demonstrate the application of mathematics at the college level. Means for satisfying this requirement are described in each major. -A maximum of 90 hours in one discipline may be applied to the Bachelor of Science degree. B. For the Bachelor of Arts Degree: -Demonstrate proficiency in a foreign language through any one of the following means:
7. Complete the General Education Curriculum. Complete a minimum of 15 credits in Communication and Critical Thinking, and 45 credits in General Knowledge for a total of 60 credit hours. General Knowledge contains five categories, and students must complete minimum of nine credits in each. Within each of the categories a student must complete at least one course from prefixes other than the prefix or prefixes of the student's major. The new general education program will become effective beginning in the Fall of 2002. The curriculum has these major elements: I. Communication and Critical Thinking (15 Credits)Demonstrate fulfillment of each of the three outcomes in the "Communication and Critical Thinking" area by completing courses, with a grade of C- or better earned in courses approved for meeting particular required outcomes. The required outcome areas are: Communication, Critical Thinking, and Quantitative Reasoning. A minimum of three approved courses must be completed. Approved courses will demonstrate that they meet some or all of the following outcomes. A. Communication Be able to communicate effectively by means of active listening, public speaking, collaborating, analytical reading and academic writing in the diverse situations encountered as educated citizens; be able to adjust presentations according to subject, occasion, audience, and purpose; be able to communicate effectively using appropriate symbolic technological systems. B. Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Be able to demonstrate various strategies for generating effective arguments, gathering sources, analyzing information, evaluating claims and data, problem solving, and synthesizing material; be able to demonstrate systematic thinking within the guidelines of a specific discipline. C. Quantitative Reasoning Be able to use mathematical abilities to solve problems and interpret quantitative information; be able to communicate such analyses effectively through speaking, writing, and the use of graphics. II. General Knowledge: Disciplinary Breadth (45 Credits)Beyond the area of Communication and Critical Thinking, all students will meet General Education Outcomes through a distribution of courses. These liberally educated individuals will exhibit familiarity with a wide range of methodological and disciplinary perspectives. In order to ensure such disciplinary breadth, students will complete a minimum of nine credits from each of five different intellectual perspectives. Courses fulfilling this requirement must be approved by the General Education Committee and Educational Policy and Curriculum Committee to ensure that General Education Outcomes, as distinct from the discipline-specific outcomes, have been identified and means of assessment are in place. In some cases, students will be able to meet outcomes through specially designed upper division General Education Interdisciplinary courses, seminars, or sequences. Each category requires that students complete a minimum of 9 credit hours toward a total of 45 credits. Category One - Study of Aesthetics and Humanities A liberally educated person should be familiar with the methodology, practice, and controversies regarding interpretation of texts (in the most general sense). Students will choose from specifically designed coursework in a variety of disciplines. Upon completion of course work in this category, students should be able to identify and distinguish between genres and cultures, delineate and analyze aesthetic features of cultural artifacts and make sound aesthetic judgments, read critically, differentiate fields of inquiry within the humanities, discuss historical context, integrate knowledge through humanistic inquiry, and express themselves effectively. Category Two - Study of Human Behavior A liberally educated person should be familiar with the methodology, practice, and controversies regarding the academic study of human behavior, both individual and within groups. Students will choose from specifically designed coursework in variety of disciplines. Upon completion of course work in this category, students should be able to employ basic terminology and concepts of the specific discipline(s) or sub-discipline(s) studied, analyze and interpret data, analyze and evaluate primary and secondary sources, identify resources for continued research, characterize competing sub-paradigms within the social sciences, identify key figures and events, critique social and economic institutions and analyze their historical context, argue effectively based on available evidence and in a way reflective of the modes of research and argumentation in a specific discipline studied. Category Three - Study of the Natural World A liberally educated person should be familiar with the methodology, practice, and controversies regarding the academic study of the natural world. Students will choose from specifically- designed course work in variety of disciplines. Upon completion of course work in this category, students should be able to employ scientific methods in the laboratory or in fieldwork as defined by the specific discipline(s) or sub-discipline(s) the student has studied, analyze and evaluate data based on discipline-defined criteria, observe accurately, integrate knowledge and data with the fundamental concepts of the specific discipline(s) or sub-discipline(s) the student has studied, and report results effectively both orally and in writing. Category Four - Study of the Arts and Creative Process A liberally educated person should be familiar with the process of artistic creation and the academic study of the arts. Students will choose from specifically designed course work in a variety of disciplines. Upon completion of course work in this category, students should be able to demonstrate technique -- the building of a repertoire of strategies and approaches to a creative project, which necessitates a clear intention reflected in choice of materials, modes, and tools; employ basic terminology and concepts of the specific discipline(s) or sub-discipline(s) the student has studied; synthesize knowledge and practice -- highlighted in a performance, presentation, or project; demonstrate conceptual understanding of the creative process of risk-taking, multiple attempts (drafting and re-drafting, practice and rehearsal), re-conceptualization, discovery, experimentation, of the connection between form and personal expression; enact the interplay of subjectivity, self-reflexiveness, and aesthetic judgment; demonstrate alternative ways of thinking: an understanding of iconography, of metaphor and metaphorical thinking, of personal vision; employ dialogical thinking so that competing and even conflicting points of view are represented; access the affective domain in or through creative endeavor; converse intelligently about the academic study of the arts and artistic creation; express understanding of a lifelong commitment to artistic endeavor and creativity in all aspects of life, for the purpose of meaningful self-expression and the cultivation of aesthetic awareness. Category Five; Study of Logic, Language, and Culture A liberally-educated person should be familiar with a range of social, cultural, intellectual, and personal perspectives and disciplinary approaches to comparing differing modes of thought, including the purely abstract and symbolic, as well as cultures, social mores, and competing notions of the self. Students will choose from specifically designed course work in variety of disciplines. Upon completion of course work in this category, students should be able to demonstrate knowledge from among the following: understanding of logical and mathematical systems, awareness of cultures other than the student's own, analysis of common communication barriers, analysis of language as a reflection of culture and history, or use of language effectively and fluently to explore differences among points of view. Whenever possible students are encouraged to study a foreign language and demonstrate functional ability in that language by means of listening, speaking, reading, and writing and to continue their exploration of international subjects through upper division study of a foreign culture, study abroad, working with or tutoring international students, participating in university sponsored international sojourns, or working in a bilingual setting. III. Reflections and Perspectives (no credit hour requirement)These outcomes are central to a liberal arts education. They are cultivated wherever possible across the curriculum. The specific means of implementing these outcomes will be determined in the future. Their complete fulfillment is expected to build upon earlier general education requirements; consequently, the faculty will consider during the next academic year how to implement and assess these outcomes. IV.First Year Interdisciplinary Courses:A unique feature of the first year student experience will be the opportunity for students to choose interdisciplinary courses that will combine more than one discipline or field of study. These courses will allow students to explore a diverse range of subjects within one class and provide then with new ways to explore learning. During the 2002-2003 academic year the following courses are planned: .Mind and Body .Science, Faith, and Reason .Democracy, Efficiency, and Justice .Creative Composition .Seeing The Twentieth Century .Political Economy of Sport .Good Books: People and Animals Students may choose the S/U grading option for these courses.

Writing Intensive Courses (WIC) Eastern Oregon University is strongly committed to the view that writing aids in learning and mastering complex disciplinary knowledge. Writing Intensive Courses dedicate class time to discussion of writing assignments and often use writing to enhance and focus class discussion of important concepts, making students more active learners. WIC assignments help students to clarify thinking, communicate clearly, discover new insights, document unknowns and to analyze, synthesize, apply, and test ideas. 8. Pass the Writing Proficiency Examination. http:www.eou.edu/advising/ The Writing Proficiency Examination (WPE) is an essay style examination that must be passed prior to graduation. Admission to some major programs at Eastern require that the WPE be attempted or that the WPE be passed. Please check major program admission criteria. Most students are required to take writing courses before attempting the examination. To attempt the WPE, students must meet the following eligibility criteria: All students (except those admitted to a distance education program) entering EOU after the summer of 1983 are required: A. to satisfactorily complete writing courses through WR 121, OR B. to demonstrate a TSWE score of 50 or better upon entering Eastern. Students who have attempted the WPE and did not pass are required to satisfactorily complete a writing course before taking the examination again. Appropriate writing courses are WR 121, 131, 225, 316, 320 or a writing-intensive course within your major. It is strongly recommended that all entering students begin taking writing courses during their first year at Eastern if the course requirement has not already been met at another college or university. A $5.00 fee is required to take the examination and is non-refundable. 9. Functional Computer Literacy. Students must demonstrate "functional computer literacy" in the major field. Means for satisfying this requirement are described with each major. 10. Writing-Intensive Courses. Students must have completed at least two upper division writing-intensive courses in the major field. These courses are identified in the course description sections of this catalog. 11. Capstone Experience in the Major. Students must complete a capstone experience in their major fields. These courses are identified in the course description sections of this catalog. 12. Follow these credit limits. Credits toward graduation may include the following:
13. Graduation Application. Degree candidates may apply for graduation as early as one year in advance by submitting an application for graduation to the Registrar's Office. The deadline for submitting an application for graduation is the second Friday of the term prior to their expected graduation date. Example: If planning on graduating in Spring term, the graduation application must be submitted to the Registrar's Office by the second Friday of Winter term. This deadline is for the benefit of students. If any changes or additions need to be made on the application, students will have time to complete coursework. Students not meeting this deadline must meet with the Registrar. The graduation application goes through three final checks before the student receives an official approval letter and signed copy of the application from the Registrar's Office. Because there may be changes from what the student and advisor agreed upon, only the signed copy of the Application for Graduation is the official document and lists all required courses necessary for graduation.
Beginning Fall 2002, continuing students and newly admitted transfer students with 45 or more transferable quarter credit hours may choose to complete the existing General Education Distribution Requirement described in number 7 below or may choose to complete the new General Education Curriculum. The University's graduation requirements reflect the belief that an undergraduate education should provide both breadth and depth and that all educated individuals should possess certain skills, especially the ability to express oneself in writing. The general education distribution requirement rests on the assumption that every educated person should have some acquaintance with certain traditional areas of human knowledge and experience - the humanities, the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the arts, languages, and logic - an understanding of artistic creation, and the skills inherent in the study of languages and other forms of symbol manipulation. Students must complete all institutional graduation requirements for the baccalaureate degree as listed below: 1. Complete a minimum of 180 credit hours. 2. Earn an Eastern GPA of at least 2.000 and a composite GPA of 2.000 for all college work taken up until the time that the degree is conferred.

Appropriate writing courses are WR 121, 131, 225, 316, 320 or a writing intensive course within your major. It is strongly recommended that all entering students begin taking writing courses during their first year at Eastern if the course require- ment has not already been met at another college or university. A $5.00 fee is required to take the examination and is non-refundable. 9. Functional Computer Literacy. Students must demonstrate "functional computer literacy" in the major field. Means for satisfying this requirement are described with each major. 10. Writing Intensive Courses. Students must have completed at least two upper division writing-intensive courses in the major field. These courses are identified in the course description sections of this catalog. 11. Capstone Experience in the Major. Students must complete a capstone experience in their major fields. These courses are identified in the course description sections of this catalog. 12. Follow these credit limits. Credits toward graduation may include the following:
13. Graduation Application. Degree candidates may apply for graduation as early as one year in advance by submitting an application for graduation to the Registrar's Office. The deadline for submitting an application for graduation is the second Friday of the term prior to their expected graduation date. Example: If planning on graduating in Spring term, the graduation application must be submitted to the Registrar's Office by the second Friday of Winter term. This deadline is for the benefit of students. If any changes or additions need to be made on the application, students will have time to complete coursework. Students not meeting this deadline must meet with the Registrar. The graduation application goes through three final checks before the student receives an official approval letter and signed copy of the application from the Registrar's Office. Because there may be changes from what the student and advisor agreed upon, only the signed copy of the Application for Graduation is the official document and lists all required courses necessary for graduation.
