Page !6 Introductory Section and Background Information The section should provide a brief introduction to the self-study which includes the following elements: 0A. An executive Summary that provides a one- to two-page summary/abstract of the information contained within the self-study. Academic Program Review: University Studies [BUS] 1969 — 2013 Liberal Arts & Integrative Studies [LAIS] 2014 — present ! Executive Summary The Bachelor of Liberal Arts [BLA] and the Bachelor of Integrative Studies [BIS] evolved from the degree program Bachelor of University Studies (1969-2014). These degree program(s) are unlike any other at UNM — students design their own curriculum from courses offered in every College/School within the University. LAIS does not have our own faculty, and our resources are minimal. This unique evolution has made this APR challenging to write for two reasons: 1. There is no prior APR Self-Study in the 45 year history of the program. 2. The program has changed from one degree into two degrees — the former University Studies (BUS) degree, and the two newly formed Liberal Arts (BLA) degree and the Integrative Studies (BIS) degree. In the appendices at the end of the report the process of how the program was modeled are explained so that future colleagues will be able to understand the reasoning regardless of what changes may come. Individualized degree programs have a long-standing tradition and pedagogy, and LAIS’s vision and values as a program were developed collaboratively as a College to align with UNM’s overarching mission. Advisement and assessment are central to the program development, this becomes more clear as the criterion progress. LAIS is involved in many important student success initiatives, and prioritize building relationships with the Branch campuses and Extended University Field Centers. BUS was one of the first programs to bring its degree to the smaller communities across the state. LAIS is currently developing curriculum to teach students about interdisciplinarity and integrative thought and research, and have reached out to each College/School at UNM to assure acceptance of our minor as well as allowing our students to select their minor or double major. Page !7 Additionally, LAIS has begun to build relationships with Community Colleges statewide so that students can transition smoothly from their home town schools to UNM. The advisement model for students in the LAIS degree program(s) significantly effects recruitment, enrollment, and graduation rates for the program. Each student sees their Advisor multiple times each semester, instead of once upon admission/graduation, allowing a relationship to be built. Enrollments have gone from 1500+ (1970) to 800+ (2014) — in the last year 53% of BUS/BLA graduates graduated above a 3.0 cumulative GPA, while 25% achieved a 3.5 or better. (2013 UC Annual Report) While the LAIS program is bereft of resources, the advisement team is blessed with talent and make it a priority to be comprehensive for our students so that they feel comfortable coming in for advisement about all their UNM questions. The former University Studies program co- founded and currently manages the campus wide ADVISE-L listserv and frequently advises other College/Departmental Advisors on campus. The BUS degree was among the first of its kind having formed in the Spring of 1969. The goal of the new LAIS program is to become a model for other programs regionally and nationally. Over the next few years the LAIS program needs to establish more 2+2 (certificate/associate to baccalaureate) programs with Community Colleges statewide to assist students who need to remain in their communities because of family and work responsibilities. In terms of enrollment and graduates the data show that BUS/BLA degrees are the most sought after degree through Extended University’s Education Centers [sites outside of Albuquerque] almost 2:1. Last year the BUS/BLA degree was the third most awarded degree on main campus, and LAIS students have gone on to become everything from Pueblo Governors to Astronauts, and Blacksmiths to Kindergarden Teachers. A quick snapshot profile of all BUS graduates in the last 10 years [2003-2014] shows that 59.31% were female, 48.54% were an ethnic minority, and 3.39% were veterans. Perhaps the !most important number is that the mean GPA was 3.35! (Office of Institutional Analytics) The LAIS program is excited to have this opportunity to consult with others on campus and, through shared ideas, build a better program for our students and community.

  • Translating Degrees and Academic Titles Abbreviations: Challenges and Perspectives
    Slađana Milinković TRANSLATING DEGREES AND ACADEMIC TITLES ABBREVIATIONS: CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES SLAĐANA MILINKOVIĆ Th e Court Interpreters and Translators Association of Serbia E-mail: [email protected] Egyetemi fokozatok és tudományos címek rövidítéseinek fordítása: kihívások és perspektí- vák. Az ember társas lény, ezért természetes szükséglete a kommunikáció. Az emberi kommuni- káció fontosságát már évezredekkel ezelőtt felismerték, és gyökerei sokkal messzebbre nyúlnak vissza, mint amiről az írott történelem beszámol. Az emberi kommunikáció alapja az együttmű- ködés és a közös szándék, ahogy azt az antroposzemiotika is tanítja. Idáig azonban hosszú utat kellett bejárni. „Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος”,1 tanítja a Biblia, de az igét meg kell hallgatni, és terjeszteni kell. Minél messzebbre kellett eljutnia, annál fontosabb volt, hogy valamilyen módon lejegyezzék. És az em- ber másik természetes szükséglete, hogy nyomot hagyjon a világban – valamilyen képpel, szám- mal vagy betűvel. Nézzük meg röviden ennek a történetét. Kulcsszavak: latin nyelvű oklevelek, egyetemi fokozatok fordítása, tudományos címek rövidítése, bírósági tolmácsolás, a terminológia alakulása Since man is a social being, one of his innate needs is the desire to communicate. Th e importance of human communication has been recognised for thousands of years, far longer than demonstrated through recorded history. Human communication is rooted in cooperative and shared intentions, as anthroposemiotics teaches us. But it was a long road to get us here. “Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος”, the Bible has taught us, but it has to be heard and spread. Th e further it needed to go, the greater was the need to record it in some way. And the second man’s innate need was to make a mark in the world – with a picture of some kind, a certain sign, numeral or letter.

Harvard University is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States. The University as a whole has grown from nine students with a single masters’ degree to an enrollment of more than 18,000 degree candidates, including undergraduates and students in 10 principal academic units. An additional 13,000 students are enrolled in one or more courses in the Harvard Extension School. Over 14,000 people work at Harvard, including more than 2,000 faculty. There are also 7,000 faculty appointments in affiliated teaching hospitals. There is no single office at Harvard University that handles admissions for all students to all programs. Instead, each school maintains its own admissions office and specialized staff to meet the needs of prospective students.
