Undergraduate Academic Catalogue Announcements for the One Hundred and Eighty-Fourth Year U N I O N U N I V E R S I T Y Since 1823 2007-2008 Undergraduate Academic Catalogue Announcements For the One Hundred and Eighty-Fourth Year U N I O N U N I V E R S I T Y Since 1823 This publication is intended as a description of the academic programs and activi- ties of Union University. While it is not an offer to make a contract, it is offered as a com pre hen sive description that can serve as a guide for students contemplating study or al ready enrolled at Union University. The administration and faculty believe that the educational and other programs of the University described in this catalogue are effective and valuable. The ultimate re sults of programs offered in terms of achievement, employment, professional licensing, or other measures, are dependent on factors outside the programs, such as the per son - al i ty and energy of the student, governmental or institutional regulations, and market conditions. Therefore, except as specifi cally stated herein, the University makes no rep re sen ta tion or contract that following a particular course or curriculum will result in specifi c achievement, employment or qualifi cation for employment, admission to de gree programs, or licensing for particular professions or occupations. In compliance with all applicable state and federal law, including provisions of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Union University does not illegally discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, national origin, age, disability, or military service in admissions; in the administration of its education policies, programs, or activities; or in employment. Under federal law, the University may discriminate on the basis of religion in order to fulfi ll its purposes. Persons who believe their rights under this policy have been violated should contact the Offi ce of the President. In compliance with its duties under state and federal law, Union University makes annual reports of campus crime statistics, campus security policies, graduation rates, and completion rates for the Teacher Education Program. These reports are available on the Parents Page of our web site, www.uu.edu. and also by request in the Offi ce of En roll ment Services and the Offi ce of Safety and Security. 2007 Table of Contents

Inside Back Cover An Overview _______________________________________ Our Identity Union University is an academic community, affi liated with the Tennessee Baptist Convention, equipping persons to think Christianly and serve faithfully in ways consistent with its core values of being Christ-centered, people- focused, excellence-driven, and future-directed. These values shape its identity as an institution which prioritizes liberal arts based undergraduate education enhanced by professional and graduate programs. The academic com- munity is composed of quality faculty, staff, and students working together in a caring, grace-fi lled environment conducive to the development of character, servant leadership, and cultural engagement. OVERVIEW Our Core Values • Excellence-Driven: We believe that excellence, not mere compliance, is the goal of our teaching, our research, and our service. We are not motivated to excellence out of pride but out of a desire to do all things for God’s glory because He cares about our work and wants to be involved in everything we do. We will not be satisfi ed with mediocrity, but will pursue excellence in all things. This means our truth claims carry with

FIelds, DIrector produced by BiI!Iptlst Pre.. Jim Newton, Assistant Director June 3, 1966 Japan Baptist Meetings Differ From SBC, Detroit By Worth C. Grant Missionary on Furlough. From Japan Compared to sessions of the Japan Baptist Convention. the Southern BaptiGt Con­ vention in Detroit had many contrasts and few similarities. Messengers in Japan sit in assigned, numbered seats throughout the lonG sessions in what must be the supreme test of oriental patience. There are no "outstandinG committees" in Japan. During times of worship a worshipful atmosphere is maintained. yea , almost en­ forced by the Japanese Baptists. Far fewer women are in attendance in Japan. Those who attend are dressed plainly. At the Southern Baptist Convention one notices the tremendous array of hats stylishly­ dressed ladies wear here. The men for the most p~rt wear open-collared shirts in Japan. This is their only way of beating the sweltering summer heat. Conventions there are in late July or August. The auditoriums are not air conditioned. The Japanese convention is smaller in size and the number of messengers attending is therefore much smaller. There is, however, much more lively discussion from the floor, real dialogue. I missed this in our sessions at Detroit. In Japau, ~he agenda, item by item, is placed on a large blackboard on the auditorium platform and daily revised. Finished items are erased and new ones are added.
