6 President’s Message

Dear Peace Students,

A hearty Peace College welcome to each of you as you contemplate the start of the 2007-08 academic year!

Whether you are a first-year student or a transfer, you are beginning a remarkable journey of academic and personal growth amid an exceptional community of students, faculty and staff who make a Peace special place. Here you will experience the campus’ rich history and enjoy traditions unique to Peace. And you’ll get to know and respect the Peace faculty and staff who will help ensure your success.

The latest results of the National Survey of Student Engagement speak to the satisfaction of our students. In the survey of students at 528 colleges and universities across the nation, Peace College ranked in the top ten percent in three of the survey’s five categories: “faculty-student interaction,” “supportive campus envi- ronment” and “active and collaborative learning.”

Our students give Peace high marks for providing the support needed to thrive socially and for the quality of academic advising. And they are pleased with the opportunities to discuss career plans with a faculty member or adviser and for receiving prompt feedback on their academic performance.

I trust you will enjoy the same positive experiences throughout your career at Peace.

As the first alumna president of Peace, I extend my best wishes to you as you begin your journey as a Peace student and continue the legacy of leadership and academic excellence.

Laura Carpenter Bingham, President Class of 1977

The Bachelor of Arts Liberal Education Program: DEGREE REQUIREMENTS Peace Passport Students planning to obtain a baccalaureate degree at Peace College must complete the “Declaration of Major” form during the second semester of the second year of academic studies. In order to obtain the Bachelor of Arts degree, students must take the liberal education program, which is called “Peace Passport.”

As part of our commitment to challenging women to an adventure of intellectual and personal discovery, Peace has adopted Peace Passport as the Liberal Education Program.

Peace Passport combines a program of courses with a sequence of learning experiences designed to provide you with an outstanding educational foundation. By grounding our require- ments in liberal education, Peace Passport focuses on the importance of having a broad background in the arts, humanities, and sciences while also emphasizing skills needed for your professional and personal life. Upon matriculation, all students will receive a passport document which summarizes both the academic and co-curricular requirements and opportunities at Peace College. Use this passport to guide and inspire yourself and also to record your accomplishments while at Peace College. 54 Degrees and Graduation Requirements PEACE COLLEGE LIBERAL EDUCATION GOALS: YOUR PASSPORT TO THE FUTURE

Hill or ECU.

Dual Licensure: Elementary Education & Special Education: General Curriculum Our innovative program is the only blended program in the state that leads to licensure in both Elementary Education (K-6) and Special Educa- tion: General Curriculum (K-12). Students complete a major in one of the following approved areas: Child Development, English, Liberal Studies, Psychology, or Spanish. (Some majors may require students to attend one or two summer classes in their sophomore year.) Interested candidates must apply to the Teacher Education Program (see “Program Admission Requirements” below). It is recom- mended that students apply during their sophomore year, given that the program takes two years (including one full summer) for completion. Once accepted, students enroll as a cohort and together take classes which integrate special education and elementary education content while completing coursework for their major.

Adult Evening Program Beginning in the fall 2007 semester, an adult evening program will be offered for students who have graduated from an accredited college or university with a minimal 2.5 GPA. The licensure- only program will be identical to the traditional day program, but will be delivered in the evening and several Saturday mornings per semester. Student teaching will take place during the two summers.
