1 Sangamon State University Catalog 1974-1975 Published by Sangamon State University Springfield Illinois 62708 Office of University Relations Volume 4 March, 1974 It should be understood that information concerning programs, procedures, require­ ments, standards, and fees is subject to change without notice. The information in this Sangamon State University Catalog is not to be consideredfinal, nor does it constitute a contract between the student and the university. 2 An Alternative System of Higher Education In Illinois With the launching, in 1970 and in 1971, of Sangamon State University and Governors State University, the alternative system envisaged by the Illinois Master Plan for Higher Education became a reality; and the community colleges no longer stand alone in the important, difficult task ofidentifying the new needs ofhigher educa­ tion and working out fresh, substantial solutions that are relevant to these needs and that look ahead, instead ofback at tradition. There is an air of excitement and importance about the new system which students soon detect. Anyone who holds the A.A. or A.S. degree from an accredited community or junior college is automatically eligible for admission to the two new upper-level universities created by the state of Illinois specifically for graduates of the Illinois community college system. Both Governors State University, in Park Forest South, and Sangamon State University, in Springfield, which offer the final two years of college as well as programs leading to the master's degree, were created by legislative action to complement the state commu­ nity college system. Community college students lose no credits in transfer: at Gov­ ernors State and Sangamon State all students are transfer students. Illinois' upper-level universities emphasize student needs. Both uni­ versities stress applied studies planned to mesh with community college programs. Work-study situations place students in the main­ stream of governmental, business, industrial, social, cultural, and educational activity during their college years. Special attention is given to the "career ladder" concept, and courses are offered at times convenient for students who have full-time jobs. Governors State and Sangamon State both offer an approach to university education which is highly flexible and innovative, relating the learning experience to the issues and concerns of the contempo­ rary world. 4 A Message From the President As an upper-level and graduate institution, Sangamon State University is at the leading edge of Illinois' effort to extend educational opportunity to the "new student." Moreover this university is one with a special and most vital mission, education in public affairs. The upper-level movement is one of national significance reflecting the expansion of the community college system and the aspirations of growing numbers of adults returning to the campus for baccalaureate and graduate study. Because of the maturity and motivation of these "new students," the upper-level university has also emerged as a center for innovative educational programs and teaching styles. Our concern with public affairs is mandated by the General Assembly of Illinois. It reflects the need for the education of men and women able to cope with the challenge of complex public problems and policies. This obligation has its roots in the ancient understanding of education, that it was the solemn obligation of the educated man to return to his community in public service the fruit of his study and experience, whether as a citizen volunteer or in professional employment in government or elsewhere. Let me welcome you through this catalog to our faculty and programs. I am sure you will find them as exciting as the mission of this new university. 5 President Robert C.

Continuing the philosophy generated by the community colleges of open admission and affirmative action, Sangamon State is provid­ ing opportunities for upper-level education to a broad spectrum of students- transfers, individuals resuming an interrupted education, employed persons seeking to upgrade themselves in current positions or to prepare for second careers, and area residents wishing to en­ hance their personal lives. Designated the state's public affairs university, Sangamon State addresses itself to specific and manifold government needs through special courses, projects, and student internships. Every student at SSU participates in Public Affairs Colloquia 13 which deal with major topics or problems involving public SANGAMON STATE policy study projects. Many government administrators are visiting lecturers to university classes, strenghtening the flow of ideas and the level of understanding between state capital and state university. An applied study experience is required of all undergraduate students at Sangamon State. This vital ingredient in the student's education is an individualized, self-directed work or research experi­ ence in which the student is off campus for part or all of a semester. Such further extension of the university into the community increases the contacts between students, faculty, and business and government leaders. Every faculty member at Sangamon State University has a commitment to the individual student, with teaching as the first priority rather than research or publication. Classes are small and informal, and students share in the responsibility for what is learned. Faculty members also serve as student advisers, providing strong personal relationships both in and out of class. All
