18 S I M M O N S C O L L E G E U N D E R G R A D U AT E C O U R S E C A T A L O G COURSE NUMBERING Every course offered at Simmons includes not only a department or program designation but also a course number. These numbers can be understood in the following way: Courses at the 100 level are appropriate for all undergraduate students, assuming appropriate high school preparation. These courses generally have no prerequisites and are taught at the introductory level. Courses at the 200 level are appropriate for sophomores and above and for first-year students under advisement or placement by the mathematics and language departments. Such courses tend to be more specific than the broadly intro- ductory 100-level courses, and prerequisites are optional at the discretion of the department. A prerequisite for a 200-level course is normally one course in the department (or a complementary department or program) at the 100-level. First-year students should be advised that these classes will likely include upper-class students and will therefore be more challenging than 100-level courses. Courses at the 300 level are appropriate for juniors and seniors and are normally taken by students majoring or minoring in the field. Such courses are advanced in content and pace and represent a high level of study in the field. Courses at the 300 level generally have prerequisites, typically at least one 100- and one 200-level course. Undergraduate students should be aware that graduate students may be enrolled in 300-level classes. Courses at the 400 level are limited to graduate students in the program or those students who have been approved to enroll by the director of the program offering the course. In general, undergraduates are not permitted to take 400-level courses. Courses at the 500 level are generally cross-listed with an undergraduate course at the 300-level. Graduate students who opt for such a course sign up for the 500-level component, undergraduates for the 300-level.

It also offers minors in mathe- matics and in statistics. Major in Mathematics The increasing complexity of society has made the mathematical sciences important for solving problems in the social sciences and management as well as in the sciences. In addi- tion, the pure mathematical areas continue to appeal to many as an intellectual discipline, art

form, or game.

There are many opportunities for students who are interested in combining mathematics with other disciplines. Joint or double majors are available with biology, chemistry, computer science, economics, education, management and psychology. Other fields may also be fruit- fully combined with mathematics. Students interested in such majors should consult with the chairs of the departments involved. R e q u i r e m e n t s : The major in mathematics begins with the calculus sequence: MATH 120, 121, and 220. Other required courses are MAT H

Ca r r i n g t o n , S t a f f . Psychology offers students an opportunity to explore a variety of issues involved in the study and understanding of human behavior and experience. These include biological functioning, emotional and intellectual development, cogni- tive capacities, and our existence in a sociocultural surrounding. The challenge of psy- chology lies in the opportunity it presents to grow as a person, to better understand oneself and others, and to gain systematic knowledge about the human experience. Students majoring in psychology may seek employment in a wide variety of positions after graduation. Most career paths in psychology require additional graduate experience at either the master’s or doctoral level. However, there are a variety of opportunities for graduates as researchers or practitioners in such areas as child development, biological psychology, human resources, survey research, clinical psy- c h o l o g y, and social services. Combining a major in psychology with a major or sequence of courses in another disci- pline may open the way to other interesting careers. For specific sequences that integrate psychology with other fields, consult with the psychology department chair or your advisor. An undergraduate psychology major can also be good preparation for graduate work in areas such as social work, hospital administration,

The goals of the Department of Wo m e n ’ s Studies are to educate students in theoretical, empirical, and methodological perspectives for studying the status and experiences of women; to consider gender in diverse national and inter- national contexts by studying the multiple and contested meanings and roles of gender, and to develop an understanding of how gender is related to other social categories such as race, class, age, sexuality, religion, and nationality. Women’s studies majors with an interest in activism may consider combining the major with a minor in social justice.
