History
The institution now known as John Brown University was founded in 1919 by evangelist and lecturer John E. Brown. Approximately 70 students and ten instructors comprised the group of supporters dedicated to Dr. Br o w n ’s philosophy of three-fold education, termed Head, Heart, and Hand. It was the Fou n d e r ’s contention that education which ends merely in academic excellence is not adequate preparation for life; spiritual commitment and professional training are crucial for effective service. Because he saw no institution of higher learning offering such balance, the Southwestern Collegiate Institute was established. Fifteen years later, amended articles of incorporation gave the school its present name and authorized the granting of four-year diplomas, certificates in teacher training, and graduate degrees. The Founder served as President of the University until 1948, when he was succeeded by his son. Under the leadership of John E. Brown, Jr., the University continued its rise to national prominence. Accreditation by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools was earned, intercollegiate athletic competition was begun, and numerous degree programs were initiated. Financial stability of the school also was established through development of the endowment, which today provides a substantial percentage of the operating budget. John E. Brown, III, assumed the Presidency in 1979 and served until 1993. The years of his leadership were marked by expansion of facilities and curriculum and a renewed commitment to integration of faith, learning, and li v i n g . Three multi-million-dollar construction projects—the Learning Resource Ce n t e r , the Lifetime Health Complex, and a major renovation of the Cathedral of the Ozarks—were completed. Enrollment surpassed 1000. The international influence of John Brown University expanded through establishment of the Walton Scholarship Program which provides university education for select students from Central America and Mexico. Development of students who are World Christians received increasing emphasis through missions opportunities and on-campus intercultural programs. New curricula in various ministries and fields of service were begun, along with a strengthened core of liberal arts general education courses. The University established the Ad v a n c e degree completion program as George F. Ford was appointed President in 1993. A. LeVon Balzer began his service in this capacity the following year, and John Brown University began offering graduate degrees in 1995. Under President Balzer’s leadership, the University continues to instigate programs and to expand facilities. A vigorous capital campaign, ”Campaign 2000: God’s Highest and Best”, raised nearly $40 million, providing major funding for two innovative centers for academic research and community enrichment—the Center for Marriage and Family Studies and the Donald
7 JOHN BROWN UNIVERSITY
G. Soderquist Center for Business Leadership and Ethics—and funding for the Pat and Willard Wal k er Student Center and the William H. Bell Science Hall (opening by 2003), as well as scholarships and endowment enhancement. This year, more than 1600 students are participating in John Brown Un i v e r s i t y ’s programs, and yet the Fou n d e r ’s relentless commitment can still be seen—commitment to the value of Scripture, faith in the provision of God to accomplish His work, and belief that there will be great achievement by students of all backgrounds who are given opportunity to develop their abilities. With continued dedication to these ideals, the future of John Brown University is bright.

The Construction Management Li b r a r y , in the Engineering Building, houses books and periodicals related to that discipline. The Soderquist Center for Business Leadership and Ethics Library is located in the Soderquist Center, and contains materials relevant to business and ethics. In addition to these branch libraries, the School of Engineering stores and makes available to students a number of periodical titles connected to the study of technology and engineering. Selected library resources for degree completion students are located at the Northwest Arkansas, Ft. Smith, and Little Rock extension centers. The ALRC functions as a “virtual library” for the campus community. Information about all campus resource collections may be obtained through the ALRC’s integrated online computer system, The Library Solution. The Library Solution features a computerized catalog with a web-based interface; students may use the catalog at dedicated terminals in the ALRC or on the Internet. Access to the World Wide Web is available in the ALRC at
11 JOHN BROWN UNIVERSITY
specified computer workstations. Students may connect to electronic databases (indexes, abstracts, full-image periodicals, etc.) at multiple locations on the campus network and via remote access for those enrolled in distance education and graduate programs. Through its participation in library networks and arrangements with commercial vendors, the ALRC is able to provide its users with flexi b l e , efficient interlibrary loan services.

Computing Resources John Brown University has many computing and networking resources available for students. All of the academic and administration buildings, and most of the residential buildings, are interconnected with a high-sp e e d fi b e r -optic network (EagleNet,) making computing resources and the Internet available in offices, classrooms, laboratories, and dorm rooms. Wir e l e s s equipment extends the network to some of the harder to reach buildings. Two classroom/labs equipped with up-t o -date computers and projectors can be used for hands-on technology instruction. When they are not being used for instruction, these rooms are available for general student use. An additional lab, (Academic Computing Center), is dedicated solely to student use and is available days and evenings throughout the week. The labs are equipped with ZIP drives, sound capabilities, and a scanner. Both draft and laser printing are available for a small charge. Mini-labs in the residence halls provide 24-hour a day computing capabilities. Tog e t h e r , these labs have more than 80 computers (mostly Windows PCs, with a few Macintosh stations) for student use. Other specialized computer labs are housed in the En g i n e e r i n g , Construction Management, Physics, Music, Art, and Digital Media departments. Students who bring their own computer to college may connect their computers to the EagleNet network from their residence hall. This may require the addition of an inexpensive Ethernet interface. Once connected,
12 UNIVERSITY PROFILE
students can access email, class related resources, student information, and the Internet. John Brown University joined the Internet when it became a charter member of the Arkansas Academic and Research Network (ARKnet) in 1991. Since then, the school has upgraded its Internet connection through ARKnet several times, until (in 2001) faculty and students enjoy two T-1 lines for access to the world wide resources of the Internet from offices, classrooms, labs, and residence halls. More complete and current information about student computing services may be found through the World Wide Web on the EagleNet home page at ht t p : / / e a g l e . j b u . e d u
Office of Academic Assistance A student may contact the Director of Academic Assistance for guidance in locating appropriate activities to develop academic skills. Computer programs in reading, writing, and math are available at minimal cost. Study skills videos are available. The class-tutoring program is funded by and coordinated through this office. The director will help a student engage an individual tutor, but payment is the responsibility of the student. Resources for Service
At the heart of JBU’s commitment to the philosophy of servanthood are the many opportunities offered on campus for student participation. Among the most notable are the Student Government Association (SGA) and CAUSE Student Ministries. Those involved in SGA serve as the student voice to the faculty and administration. In addition, they are the initiators and planners of a large number of all-campus activities. The purpose of CAUSE is to mobilize JBU students for service and ministry on campus, in the community, and around the world. The CAUSE staff motivates, trains, and supports students as they learn to apply their knowledge and skills to outreach opportunities offered by seventeen mi n i s t r i e s . A student also may choose to serve in a residence hall as a Resident Assistant or as a representative to their Residence Hall Association. Other students serve as Career Development Assistants, helping peers investigate occupational choices in the Career Development Center. All JBU students are encouraged to develop an ear for listening and a heart for serving which can result in true spiritual growth.
13 JOHN BROWN UNIVERSITY
Resources for Lifestyle
After students receive valuable academic training and are given opportunities for servanthood, next comes the goal of developing them into stewards as they seek to develop meaningful lifestyles for themselves. These lifestyles include not only career choices, but also choices regarding the development of healthy bodies through physical exercise and proper diet. The Walton Lifetime Complex offers students the most modern of health and fitness facilities for a complete daily workout. Swimming, jo g g i n g , racquetball, weights, aerobics, and team sports are just a few of the activities available in the Lifetime Health Complex to help reduce health risks and improve one’s quality of living. Student Development Services
Growth and development in college involves much more than successfully clearing all the academic hurdles. College is where many of life’s great memories are made and significant personal development happens. The community lifestyle serves as catalyst for rapid growth in many areas of life: spiritual, emotional, relational, and physical development. During the college experience, decisions are made which in large part establish the career and service opportunities for a lifetime. There are people and resources at John Brown University that can be of real help at this crucial ti m e .
Residence Life Office The Residence Life Office is responsible for all concerns related to student housing on campus—room assignments, resident assistant selection and tr a i n i n g , residence hall improvements, and residence hall educational and social programming. Each hall is staffed by a Resident Director who works to maintain a safe and healthy environment for all resident students.
Activities Office Headed by the Associate Dean of Students, the Activities Office assists in the coordination of campus activities and maintains a master calendar of events. Support and leadership training opportunities are provided for all campus leaders. The staff of this office is responsible for new student orientation, the scheduling of films shown on campus, the supervision of student banquets, and the initiation of several of its own activities.
14 UNIVERSITY PROFILE
Counseling Center College life often brings times of emotional as well as intellectual challenges. Relationships, changes in families, stress, anxiety, and depression are just a few of the issues facing students in the university environment. The professional staff in the Counseling office is available to assist students during these times of uncertainty, questioning, and struggle. Individual counseling, counseling for couples or families, and support or therapeutic groups are available to students free of charge. Counseling sessions are confidential, and appointments are scheduled with discretion and respect for the needs and desires of students.
Career Development Center The staff at the Career Development Center (CDC) is concerned with providing a comprehensive career development program for the students of John Brown University. Services are intended to enable and guide students in their ability to make decisions, set goals, and then to teach the career planning skills necessary to reach those goals. Students have the opportunity to develop self-understanding through the resources available at the CDC. Students may participate in individual co u n s e l i n g , personality inventories, and computer-aided guidance programs. The varied resources in the CDC Library can be helpful to students in any stage of career planning by helping them understand personal strengths, ma k e wise decisions about majors, and begin to explore career alternatives. The Center will serve as a link between college and the world of work through providing regular workshops on job search skills and strategies. The annual Career Fair brings employers and graduate school representatives to campus to increase awareness and provide information related to future career and graduate education. The CDC also provides information about graduate schools, graduate entrance test materials, job vacancy notices, occupational profiles and descriptions, and potential em p l o y e r s .
Medical Services At the Health Services Office located in the Walton Lifetime Health Co m p l e x, a registered nurse is available weekdays for screening acute illnesses and injuries, as well as offering advice for everyday health problems. The nurse works closely with area doctors whose offices are within walking distance of campus. Equipment such as crutches, heating pads, and humidifiers can be checked out for short term use. Health education and wellness materials/videos are available for personal use or class preparation. Allergy injections can be arranged with written orders from a physician.
15 JOHN BROWN UNIVERSITY
In order to offer complete care, it is important that the Health Services Office have on file all student medical records pertaining to pre-exi s t i n g conditions such as diabetes, epilepsy, and malaria. Also, annual updates of family telephone numbers ensure immediate communication in case of em e r g e n c y . State law requires documentation of measles/rubella vaccination for resident and full-time students born after January 1, 1957. To receive an application for medical or religious exemption, contact Student Health Services. Immunization may be obtained free of charge upon arrival. In Siloam Springs there are ten practicing family physicians plus various specialists who see patients on a regular basis through out-patient services at the Siloam Springs Memorial Hospital. The hospital is modern and fully equipped; emergency room services are available at all times.
Services for Students with Disabilities It is the goal of John Brown University that all enrolled students be given equal opportunity to succeed in their quest for a higher education that is based upon our “Christ Over All” philosophy and that integrates the educational principles of “Head, Heart, and Hand.” In accordance with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, John Brown University is committed to providing reasonable accommodation to students who are disabled. Students having documented disabilities may consult JBU’s Advocate for Students with Disabilities, who works with students and instructors to arrange appropriate assistance in learning and physical access.

University Honors Scholars Program Mission Statement. The mission of the John Brown University Honors Scholars Program is to attract and retain academically advanced students, to stimulate and challenge those students as Christian scholars and effective members of God’s kingdom, and to enrich the academic environment of the broader university community. Description of the Program. The Honors Scholars Program consists of two levels (the freshman/sophomore level and the junior/senior level) of enriched courses through the Core Curriculum. These courses have been developed especially for gifted and highly motivated students. In the first level of the program, students take a minimum of twelve hours of honors courses. To advance to the second level of the program, a student must have completed at least nine honors hours, be enrolled in at least three additional honors hours, and have an overall GPA of at least 3.6. The student then must submit to the Honors Committee a formal written statement of why he or she desires to continue in the program and an outline of future honors plans to the Honors Committee. The outline of plans would include such items as particular JBU honors courses desired, on - going research projects, off-campus honors study plans (if any), and honors thesis plans (if any). Once approved to move to the second level, the Scholar must earn nine additional hours of honors courses. Successful completion of the entire program is acknowledged at an Honors Convocation and by the presentation of a special Honors Degree diploma at graduation. All courses are designated "Honors" on the transcript. Ho w e v e r , the Scholars Program is much more than honors sections of Core courses. It is a community of students and faculty working toward enhancing the quality of scholarship on the campus as a whole. The courses are based on national research indicating that students learn more when the abstract learning process is integrated with experiential learning. Most honors courses are integrative and experiential, making use of field trips, guest speakers, and multi-media experiences. JBU Honors Scholars are strongly encouraged to model Christian principles and good stewardship of their academic gifts through serving in leadership positions on campus and participating in service activities both on and off campus. The Student Honors Organization promotes scholarly presentations and service by the student body as a whole and serves as a peer support group for honors students. Honors Scholars often participate in regional, national, and international honors conferences, workshops, and semesters abroad. The Honors Center, available to Honors Scholars and Alpha Chi Honors Society members, provides an attractive location for studying, co o k i n g , watching television, and tutoring. Several classes meet in the Ce n t e r .
21 JOHN BROWN UNIVERSITY
El i g i b i l i t y . Fif t y -five to sixty high school seniors are selected each spring from a large and very well-qualified pool of applicants. Transfer students and currently-enrolled JBU students who have enough courses remaining to be taken for the Honors Degree may also apply. Eligibility for admission is based on high school GPA and class rank, SAT/ A CT scores, and (in some cases) a letter of application. Recipients of top academic scholarships, such as the Presidential and the Provost scholarships, are usually admitted au t o m a t i c a l l y . However, since motivation is an important criterion in the selection process and a critical factor in completing the requirements for the honors degree, other highly motivated students are also invited to apply by a letter addressed to the Honors Committee. Inquiries concerning the program should be addressed to Dr. Shirley Forbes Thomas, Director of the Honors Scholars Program, Box 3074, John Brown University, Siloam Springs, AR 72761 or e-mailed to [email protected]. Courses. The following list indicates the courses currently available to Honors Scholars, the Core Curriculum courses for which they may substitute, and the semesters they are offered. The program is subject to periodic review and change by the Honors Committee in order to keep the program relevant, innovative, and challenging.

Students not officially in the program must obtain permission from the Honors Committee to enroll in any honors course. 1Honors Composition normally substitutes for English I; however, if a student has prior credit for English I—AP, CLEP, community college, etc.—Honors Composition replaces English II. If a student enrolled in Honors Composition wishes to establish credit for English I by CLEP, the exam must be taken no later than the end of the second week of the class. Credit for English II is not available via CLEP. Honors students are urged to take Honors Composition in the fall of their first year in residence in order to become acquainted with their peers and accustomed to the program. 2Integrated Humanities is a six-hour sequence of two interdisciplinary courses which together substitute for three requirements in the Core Curriculum—Masterpieces of Literature, Visual and Aural Arts, and Introduction to Philosophy. If a student completes only one of the semesters, the course will count for one of the three. 3Though not required to do so, Honors Scholars are urged to complete an Honors Thesis in their major field of study during the junior or senior year. Thesis projects are subject to recommendation by faculty in the appropriate department and approval by the Honors Committee. Guidelines may be obtained from the Honors Scholars office.

All veterans who have completed basic training and 180 days of service in any component of the U.S . Armed Forces can receive placement credit and enter at the advanced ROTC level. Financial assistance is also available to qualified students enrolled in ROTC courses. Both the Army and the Air Force offer two-, three-, and four- year scholarships, and freshman students who are not enrolled in ROTC may qualify for three-year scholarships. If accepted, all scholarship students receive a monthly tax-free allowance of $200 to $400, payment of all tuition expenses, textbook payment, and payment of certain other fees. ROTC students who accept a scholarship must agree to successfully complete at least one semester of college instruction in communications, military history, and computer literacy. A unique financial assistance program is available to all Army ROTC Advanced Course students through the Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP). This program allows an Advanced Course student to be enrolled in Army ROTC while simultaneously serving with a Reserve or National Guard unit. Financial benefits of this program presently provide ap p r o ximately $450 per month to SMP students. The student who successfully completed the Advanced Course in either ROTC program and receives a degree may be accepted for a Regular or Reserve Commission in the United States Air Force or in one of the sixteen branches of the Army. All textbooks, instructional material, and equipment required for ROTC courses are furnished at no cost to the student. Course descriptions begin on page 281. John Brown University students interested in ROTC should contact the Academic Affairs Office for details.

Policies Regarding Studies Supervised or Taught by Non-JBU Personnel 1. For JBU credit to be awarded, the experience or program must be approved in advance by the Educational Policies Committee or faculty. 2. Students in such programs will be designated as enrolled at JBU. 3. If the approved program is more costly than JBU, an adjustment to the st u d e n t ’s financial budget will be made, thereby increasing financial need and eligibility relative to the demonstrated need. 4. Students participating in approved programs will continue to receive all financial aid which they would be receiving if in residence at JBU, with the following exce p t i o n s : a. Students receiving Service scholarships, such as Resident Assistants, Student Government Association and CAUSE officers, student publication editors, athletes, etc., are not eligible. b. No student attending JBU under a tuition exchange program from another college will be permitted to carry that exchange to such a pr o g r a m . c. Full tuition scholarships will be applied to such programs at JBU’s tuition rate, not the program’s rate; e.g., if JBU’s tuition is $7,500 and the program’s is $10,000, JBU will provide $7,500 with the student paying the difference. However, for family members of JBU employees attending under the tuition remission policy, JBU will provide the full tuition of programs offered through the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities. 5. Students receiving JBU financial aid to attend such programs must return to JBU for further study or graduate from JBU at the conclusion of the program. If this is not done, the student must repay the amount received from JBU as financial aid for the program. 6. JBU reserves the right to limit the participation of students receiving JBU financial aid in such programs. Continuing Education The Continuing Education program has been established to develop innovative educational opportunities that meet the needs of the community of Siloam Springs and the surrounding area. Educational opportunities of special interest to business and industry are provided, as well as some gr a d u a t e -level courses for local educators. John Brown University also offers the Advance program, which enables students who have two years of prior college work to complete a Bachelor of Science degree in ap p r o ximately 18 months. A full description of the program may be found in Adult and Continuing Education, pages 305-316.

Enrollment in JBU’s Summer Term III is strongly encouraged in order to take courses required of students admitted under Special Act i o n . The University has a set limit on the number of students it will admit each year by Special Action. Once this limit has been reached, candidates will be placed on a waiting list.

Transfer Students To be admitted as a transfer student, the applicant must have been enrolled as a full-time student for at least one semester following high school graduation. Each college must send an official transcript directly to John Brown University. An overall grade point average of at least 2.0 is required, and a grade of ‘C’ or better in each course received for credit. A high school transcript and standardized test scores may also be required. Entering students having more than 12 semester hours transfer credit will receive scholarship consideration on the basis of college credit.
Non-Degree Students Students wishing to enroll at the University without pursuing a degree should indicate this on the application form. The application process is streamlined and there is no processing fee, but non-degree students are required to pay for all instruction and other services at the regular rate. Such students may enroll for no more than 11 hours per semester, and credit earned may count toward a degree only after students reapply and are accepted for admission under regular student status. The reapplication process must include all relevant transcripts and applicable test scores.
International Student Admissions Requirements John Brown University admits international students who meet the general admission criteria and have demonstrated proficiency in English. Applicants from non-English speaking countries must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) as administered by the Educational Tes t i n g Service at the nearest examination center. The minimum score for admission is a total of 500, or 173 on the computer-based test. The language proficiency for Walton International Scholarship recipients is evaluated for admissions purposes by an alternative means as determined by the International Programs Office in consultation with the Department of Language Studies. In addition, the COMPASS examination will be given to place students in the appropriate level of English instruction. International students must also provide the following: 1. Completed international application form. 2. Check or money order for a $25 (U.S .) non-refundable application fee. 3. Es s a y , written by the applicant, explaining reasons for wanting to attend JB U . 4. Letter of recommendation from the following: a. Principal (headmaster) of high school b. Dean of Students at previous university c. Pastor or church leader
34 AD M I S S I O N
5. Official transcripts of academic records at secondary school or university 6. For regular freshman status, an applicant must present an exa m i n a t i o n report of an internationally recognized, standardized test (O levels, ACT , SAT, Caribbean Examination, etc.) that will be evaluated by the International Admissions Office. 7. Immunization record including date of measles/rubella vaccination 8. If not receiving full JBU scholarship, official documents showing ability to pay college costs, or an Affidavit of Support (Immigration and Naturalization Service Form I-134, available through the International Programs Office) completed by a US sponsor for $18,800.00 (one year’s co s t s ) 9. The International Programs Office is responsible for determining the overall “fi t ” of an applicant with the university. Academic, social and spiritual factors will be considered. It is helpful for the applicant to provide as much relevant information as possible to determine whether there is a good match between the applicant and JBU. When all admissions requirements have been met and an $8,000 deposit (refundable in the event the student does not attend) is paid, JBU will issue an Immigration Form I-20 or IAP-66 which allows the student to apply at the US Embassy for a student visa. One of these forms is necessary to obtain the F-1 or J-1 student visa.
International Baccalaureate Program Credit is awarded for higher level International Baccalaureate courses accompanied by scores of 5 or above on the respective IB exams. JBU course equivalences and the number of semester hours recognized are determined upon evaluation of the IB work.

Tuition Deposit A tuition deposit of $100 is required of all new applicants who have tentative or final acceptance status. This deposit is fully refundable up to June 1 prior to fall semester enrollment and December 15 prior to spring semester enrollment. For students applying or attaining an accepted admission status after the refund date, the tuition deposit will not be refundable. The tuition deposit is designed to secure the student’s enrollment at John Brown University and will be applied as a credit directly to the student’s account. Off-Campus Housing Married students, students living with parents, and students living with full- time faculty or staff are permitted to enter as day students. Students who are 23 years of age or older are permitted to live off campus. Students who have lived in JBU housing for at least six (6) semesters are eligible to apply to the Student Life Office to be approved to live off campus. Room Deposit Each student who wishes to live in University housing is required to submit $100 before a room assignment can be made. The fee is fully refundable until June 1 for the Fall semester and December 15 for Spring te r m s . 1. This deposit may be submitted after the student receives notification of acceptance to the University. A room assignment is made after the deposit is received. 2. The room deposit will be held in a separate account until the student graduates or no longer resides in University housing. 3. During some semesters, single occupancy rooms may be available to students agreeing to pay a room surcharge. Requests for single occupancy may be made at the time the room deposit is paid. Such rooms, if available, are assigned during the first week of the semester. Payment of the surcharge guarantees single occupancy only for the immediate semester. 4. Room damage charges may be assessed as they occur or when the student officially checks out of University housing. Charges are posted in the business office on the student’s account to be paid before the beginning of the next semester. The balance of the deposit will be credited to the student’s account following the end of the last semester in which the student lives in University housing. If charges exceed the amount of deposit, official transcripts or diploma may be withheld until the account is cleared. Should a student fail to follow the official ch e c k -out procedures, the room deposit will be forfeited.

Meal Plans All residence hall students are required to participate in the JBU meal plan. They may choose either a 21- or a 16-meal-per-week option. The cost is the same; the difference is that the 16-meal option gives the student a larger spending account in the snack bars. Residents of the North Slope Townhouses and the Holly Place house are required to participate in a minimum 7-meal plan. Non-resident students may participate in the selected meal plans or other dining hall options. General Fees Late Registration $15 A late charge of $15 per day will be required of continuing students who have not enrolled before the first day of classes. This does not apply to students enrolling for the first time at the University. Posting $15 This fee is charged for the official recording of credit by exa m i n a t i o n , correspondence courses, or transfer credits on the student’s JBU record. No fee is charged for courses transferred at initial enrollment. Special Activity Credit John Brown University may allow academic credit for such educational activities as planned tours of foreign lands and specially organized instructional programs in the U.S . A statement giving details of this policy may be obtained from the academic dean. Cost of such credit is one-third of the existing charges for each semester hour credit. Advance written approval is required. Graduation Fee $60 Associate or Bachelor; $75 Master Each graduating student is required to pay the fee, without regard to Commencement participation. The student’s account will be charged this fee during the final semester of attendance after anticipated graduation has been confirmed by the Registrar.

Payment of Student Accounts Tuition and fees are due and payable as a lump sum on August 15 for the fall semester and December 31 for the spring semester. New students may pay their bills on registration day. The payment due will be the se m e s t e r ’s charges less financial aid (i.e., scholarships, grants, and loans). A monthly payment plan is available for students in good financial st a n d i n g . If approved for the plan, the fall semester’s charges are payable in six installments, July through December, and the spring semester’s are payable January through June. Details are sent to each student prior to each semester. If a student’s account becomes 30 days in arrears, a notice may be given regarding financial standing. Any student who fails to comply with current payment schedule is subject to termination of enrollment. Official transcripts of academic credits are not released while any balance is owed JB U , and the University engages professional collection agencies to deal with delinquent accounts. Adjustment of Accounts Students in traditional programs withdrawing from the University near the beginning of a semester are entitled to a partial refund of tuition and private music lesson fees, adjusted according to the following schedule: 90% refund during the first week of classes. 80% refund during the second week. 60% refund during the third week. 40% refund during the fourth week. 20% refund during the fifth week. No refund after the fifth week. Room and board will be pro-rated weekly over fifteen weeks per semester. Fees will not be refunded after classes have begun. In the event of medical withdrawal prescribed by a physician, special consideration will be given to tuition adjustment. Summer courses, graduate courses, and Advance modules are presented in different formats and are not subject to the above refund schedule. To receive a tuition refund for such courses, the student must complete the withdrawal before the designated class meeting.

The student will receive no college credit. A student withdrawing from private lessons will receive a refund based on the date of official withdrawal. Medical Insurance Each student is required to have in force a medical and hospital insurance plan sufficient to cover personal needs while in college. Students who are not covered by their own plan or parent’s plan, may purchase the JBU Student Plan, available at a very competitive price. Brochures are mailed to each student yearly. Valuables The University does not assume any responsibility for lost or stolen pr o p e r t y , nor does it carry fire, theft, or damage insurance on the personal property of students. Upon arrival, students may engage one of the banks in Siloam Springs to handle financial matters and to provide safety deposit bo x services. Students are required to remove all personal property from dormitories over the summer months, since the residence halls are often used by visitors. There is a limited amount of storage space available, and should a student wish to store some belongings when school is not in session, the University will take reasonable precautions to ensure security of the items. Ho w e v e r , persons leaving possessions in store rooms accept full liability for the property.

FINANCIAL AID Each year three-quarters of the students attending John Brown University benefit from some type of scholarship, loan, or work program. Students seeking financial aid are required to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAF S A ) . Based on information supplied by financial aid applications and official notifications from federal and state programs, the Financial Aid Office will determine each student’s financial aid award offer. Consideration for financial assistance will occur only after the student has received a tentative or final acceptance through the Admissions Office. Returning students will be awarded assistance if they are making satisfactory academic progress. To continue to receive financial aid, application for aid must be made each ye a r . Appropriate scholarship, loan, and work awards will be made by the Financial Aid Office using the policy set by the Financial Aid Committee. Merit scholarships are available to students based on academic, leadership, athletic, and musical talent. Descriptions of eligibility criteria and availability of assistance can be found in the Financial Aid brochure. Financial aid applications and information may be obtained by contacting the Admissions or Financial Aid Office. Early application is advised. The priority award deadline for applying for financial aid is March 1. Those applying after March 1 will be awarded financial aid as funds are available. Continuing students must make application for aid each year. Fin a n c i a l assistance from the previous year is not automatically renewed.
Financial Aid Policy The Board of Trustees has adopted the following policy with regard to awards of financial aid: 1. Financial aid programs funded by the institution itself are intended to supplement the various federal, state, and private donor financial aid programs administered by the institution. 2. Such institutional aid (to include athletic, academic, and leadership scholarships) will not be used to increase the total of financial aid available to the student from all sources, exclusive of any work-study or loan arrangement, beyond a. In the case of a boarding student, the total cost of room, board, and tuition for the academic year. b. In the case of a day student, the cost of tuition for the academic ye a r . 3. Ge n e r a l l y , students shall not be awarded financial aid in excess of their determined financial need. Students who do not demonstrate a financial need shall be eligible to receive no more than one institutional
41 JOHN BROWN UNIVERSITY
award. Students who do not demonstrate financial need and are eligible for Tuition Remission shall be eligible for only one other scholarship in addition to the Tuition Remission. Exchange Scholarship recipients through the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) or the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) who do not have a demonstrated financial need shall not be eligible for any institutional scholarships beyond their exchange scholarship. 4. Any commitment of institutional financial aid shall be exp r e s s l y conditioned upon the determination by the financial aid officer of the st u d e n t ’s prior eligibility for other federal, state, and private donor financial aid, exclusive of any work-study or loan arrangement. All such final awards shall be approved by the University’s Financial Aid Co m m i t t e e . 5. Any student receiving financial aid must be making satisfactory progress; that is, a. Completing course work that will lead toward and culminate in an associate’s or bachelor’s degree. b. Maintaining an acceptable grade point average. In general, to be making satisfactory progress, a student at JBU must have a cumulative grade point average of 2.0. A student with a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) less than 2.0 will be placed on probation for the following academic year. During the probationary period a student is considered to be making satisfactory academic progress (although he or she has failed to meet one or more of the policy’s standards) and remains eligible to receive student financial aid. A student whose CGPA is still below 2.0 after being on probation for two successive semesters, or a student with less than a 1.0 semester GPA, will be suspended from receiving student financial aid.
Maximum Time Frame for Financial Aid Eligibility: Institutional Aid Associate Degree Programs Two and One Half Yea r s Ba c h e l o r ’s Degree Program requiring 136 hours or more Six Yea r s
The above time limits are based on full-time enrollment (12 hours or more per semester). Any semester of enrollment for less than full time will be considered proportionately. Programs requiring 136 hours or more include Construction Management, En g i n e e r i n g , most Teacher Education curricula, and Music Education.
42 FINANCIAL PLANNING
Federal Aid An undergraduate recipient of federal financial aid must complete his or her educational program within 150 percent of the published length of educational program for a full-time student. For example, a student in a program requiring 124 hours for graduation would be eligible to receive federal financial aid for up to 186 credit hours.

Named Scholarships Many individuals and organizations have contributed funds because they believe in the University’s mission, and they desire to help make John Brown University affordable to academically qualified and deserving men and women. A large number of these scholarships are given in memory of friends or family and are perpetual in nature. Criteria for scholarship awards may include need, merit, and leadership ch a r a c t e r i s t i c s . The Missionary Children’s Scholarship is awarded to students whose parents are engaged in full-time missionary service. Award amounts vary and are based on demonstrated financial need.
Walton Scholarship Program Education of young people shapes a nation. Soviet leaders recognized this fact and during the mid-20th century recruited many promising young scholars from third-world nations to receive free education in universities of the Eastern Bloc. The offer was eagerly accepted, and the result was that these formally educated students—their thinking now shaped by ideals of Marxism, socialism, and atheism—returned to their homelands to rise to positions of political and economic leadership. American entrepreneur Sam Walton decried this pattern and took it upon himself to provide an alternative for these bright individuals: Come to the United States for training in economic freedom, individual responsibility, and faith. To accomplish this goal, he established programs at John Brown University and two other private liberal arts colleges in Arkansas by which are provided 60 annual scholarships at each school for students from Central America and Mexico. Funded independently of all other University aid programs, Walton grants cover tuition, room and board, and other associated expenses. One stipulation of the scholarship agreement is that upon completion of their training, all recipients must return to their home countries for a period of time equal to that of their studies in the U.S . Presently entering its seventeenth year, the program is a resounding success. More than 500 students have completed bachelor’s degrees and returned home, where the value of an American education is unmistakable. John Brown University’s graduates of the Walton Scholarship Program have attained noteworthy positions in business, engineering, politics, journalism, education, and ministry. Mr. Wal t o n ’s dream is being fulfilled.
45 JOHN BROWN UNIVERSITY
Music Scholarship and Athletic Scholarships Scholarships are available to students with demonstrated musical or athletic ab i l i t y . Music/Choral scholarships are awarded by the Music Department faculty based on major and/or participation in such groups as the Cathedral Choir, Men’s Chorus, and Wom e n ’s Chorus. Financial aid may be available for participation in certain sports such as men’s basket b a l l , so c c e r , tennis, and swimming, or women’s basketball, volleyball, tennis, and sw i m m i n g .
Leadership Scholarships Students may be eligible for scholarships in return for specific services rendered. Such positions include Resident Assistants, Student Government Association officers, Career Development Assistants, newspaper editors, Cause Ministries officers, Residence Hall Council officers, and Married Student Fellowship officers. Each leadership scholarship will be committed for a period of one year. Students who fail to maintain high standards of work and leadership in all phases of institutional life may have their scholarships rescinded, upon notification from the Financial Aid Committee.
Federal and State Financial Aid Programs The federal government sponsors student assistance programs to those who have demonstrated financial need. Through the Federal Pell Grant Program, students may receive as much as $3750 per year, based on authorization from Congress. Many students also are able to take advantage of the Federal Perkins Program and secure long-term, low interest (5%) loans for educational exp e n s e s . Students may also be eligible for assistance from other sources, such as the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Program (SEOG), the Federal Wor k -Study Program, and Federal Stafford Student Loans. Many states also participate in student aid programs for residents attending college either in or out of the state. Arkansas residents may be eligible for up to $600 per year from the Arkansas Student Assistance Grant Program. Also available is the Arkansas Governor’s Distinguished Scholarship (GDS). The GDS amount varies from $10,000 to $15,970. Application is made through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (F AFSA). The Arkansas Department of Higher Education also administers the Arkansas Academic Challenge Scholarship Program. This grant program offers first-time freshmen a four-year renewable scholarship in the amount of $2500 per year. Also available is the Arkansas Governor’s Scholarship, which covers all expenses—tuition and room and board. Contact the Financial Aid Office for details.

Students Subject to the Catalog Provisions All students are subject to the provisions of the catalog which was in effect at the time of their first enrollment at John Brown University, with the exception of charges for tuition, etc., which apply only for a specified period of time. However, by arrangement with the Registrar, the student may change to a later catalog. (See also Graduation Requirements after Extended Absence, page 70.)
Changes in Requirements and Regulations The University reserves the right to make modifications in policies, procedures, and regulations: e.g., grading system, transfer of credit policies, guidelines for degree requirements, housing regulations and charges, tuition and fees, and admission standards, and to make such modifications applicable to any or all currently-enrolled students. When modifications oc c u r , sensitivity to reasonable dates of implementation and appropriate categories of currently-enrolled students affected will be exercised. Students will be notified of such changes through the advisers, written notices, campus publications, and Registrar’s credit summaries for individual st u d e n t s .
Course Credits The basic unit of course credit is the semester hour. One semester hour of credit normally represents participation by the student in the activities of one fifty-minute class period per week for fifteen weeks together with adequate preparation through the use of approximately two hours outside of class for each period in class. Where additional supervised time is required such as for laboratories or listening sessions, an extended period of two to three hours may replace one regular class period. One hour of practicum credit requires weekly involvement of three to five hours, depending on the nature of the assignment.
Orientation Orientation activities for all new students begin before fall registration and may continue into the semester. The goal of the Orientation program is the help each student make a smooth transition to college life at JBU.
49 JOHN BROWN UNIVERSITY
Full-Time Student A full-time student is one who is enrolled for 12 or more semester hours. Students in the Advance program are considered full-time, as they complete 16 hours per term.
Summer Terms Beginning the Monday after Spring Commencement, John Brown Un i v e r s i t y ’s summer terms begin. Terms are four or five weeks in length, and students may earn as many as six credit hours per term. Most courses offered are University Core requirements, but other offerings may be made available. Summer tuition is one half the regular credit hour rate. Housing and meals are available on campus during the sessions.
Credit by Examination Means of establishing credit include the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), Advanced Placement (AP) Programs, International Baccalaureate Program, and in some cases, teacher-made examinations. A maximum of 30 semester hours of such credit may be applied toward the Bachelor’s degree; 15 maximum for the Associate’s degree. Details about exa m i n a t i o n procedures, preparation, and course equivalence are available from the Re g i s t r a r .
Correspondence and Extension Work A maximum of 30 semester hours may be earned via correspondence courses or other extension work. Each course must include at least one proctored exa m i n a t i o n .
Availability of Courses Accompanying the description of each course in the back section of this catalog is an indication of the semester in which the course is to be offered. This data is subject to occasional modification. Acc o r d i n g l y , the University reserves the right to withdraw with reasonable notice any course offering for a particular semester.
Independent Study Independent study courses are those in which students do not meet in a typical classroom setting but study independently under the regular supervision of a full-time faculty member. The topic of study may be an area of special interest normally outside of the existing curriculum. To arrange for independent study, a student must show careful consideration of workloads and of possible alternative ways for the student to fulfill the
50 ACADEMIC PERSPECTIVES
course requirement before receiving approval of his/her advisor, the prospective faculty member, the division chair, and the dean of Undergraduate Studies. In addition to normal tuition, students must pay a pe r -hour fee equal to one quarter of the average per-credit rate.
Prerequisites Students are not permitted to enroll for courses for which they have not completed all prerequisites. A prerequisite course must have been completed with an acceptable passing grade before enrollment in the given course is permitted. A corequisite is a course in which a student must be enrolled and satisfactorily participating simultaneously to the given course.
Required Enrollment in Specific General Education Courses All regularly enrolled students must enroll in one of the general education Bible courses during each of the first two years of attendance. All regularly enrolled students except those in associate degree programs must enroll for EGL 1013 and EGL 1023, English I and II, during their first two semesters of enrollment. However, some students are required to complete English as a Second Language before enrolling in EGL 1013.
Maximum Course Load The normal maximum semester load is 18 credit hours, but the student’s grade point average affects the limit for the next term.

Enrollment for more than 21 hours may be permitted only upon approval of a petition to the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies. The maximum Summer Term load is 6 credit hours. A student whose grade point average for the previous semester was 3.25 or better may enroll for seven hours.
51 JOHN BROWN UNIVERSITY
Classification of Students A student will be classified as a sophomore when at least 26 semester hours of course work have been completed; Junior, 56 hours; Senior, 90 ho u r s .
Late Enrollments Any student who enrolls after the close of the regular registration period will be subject to limitation in the course load. In general, the normal permissible enrollment will be reduced by one semester hour per week of de l a y , but the major adviser or the academic dean may direct even further reduction. No student is permitted to enroll for the semester after the end of the tenth day of classes. Returning students registering after the first day of classes are charged a fee of $15 per day.
Auditing Classes Students may register for courses on a non-credit or auditor basis, provided the proper procedure is followed, either at initial registration for the se m e s t e r , or by official change of registration prior to the stated deadlines. The names of such students will be entered on the class roll, and the class appears in the student’s academic record, but without credit and with final grade of ‘S’ or ‘U’. It is the responsibility of the student to obtain from the instructor a statement of grading criteria for satisfactory participation. Tuition is charged at one half of the rate of for-cr e d i t registrations and subject to the same regulations. The last day to add a course under ‘Aud i t ’ status and the last day to change a course from ‘Aud i t ’ to ‘Credit’ status is the last day to add a course. The last day to change from ‘Credit’ to ‘Aud i t ’ status is the last day to drop a course.
Adding and Dropping Courses Courses may be added after initial registration, provided the procedure is completed by the close of the second week of classes. Courses dropped by the approved procedure during the first two weeks of classes will not appear on the permanent record. Courses dropped during the third to sixth weeks of the term are marked with a grade of ‘W’. Non-co m p l e t i o n of a course thereafter will result in a letter grade based upon the student’s performance relative to the required work for the complete course.
52 ACADEMIC PERSPECTIVES
Withdrawal from the University A student may petition for permission to withdraw from all course work for a semester after the last date to drop a course. Such a petition should be directed to the Academic Dean. Every student withdrawing from the University before the end of a semester is required to obtain from the Student Life Office an Application for Honorable Dismissal and have it properly signed by the necessary officials and returned to the Registrar’s Office. Failure to execute such an application may result in refusal to grant any possible refunds to the student. If the withdrawal occurs before the seventh week of classes, the transcript will show grades of ‘W’ for each course. If the withdrawal from school is later in the semester, courses are listed on the transcript, with each showing a grade of ‘WP ’ (withdrew, passing) or ‘WF ’ (withdrew, failing). No credit is earned for the term.
Transcripts An official transcript of a student’s academic record may be obtained by submission of a written request to the Registrar’s Office, provided the student has made satisfactory arrangements with the Business and Fin a n c i a l Aid Offices with respect to financial obligations. Transcripts are not released unless the student grants permission through a signed statement. The first transcript is issued without charge; a $2.00 charge is incurred for each transcript thereafter.
Access to Education Records The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 extends to all former and presently enrolled students at John Brown University the right of access to certain educational records maintained by the institution. Student rights include (a) inspection and review, (b) explanation or interpretation of contents, (c) duplication of the record at a standard fee, and (d) a formal hearing, if necessary, to challenge the contents of any such record. For purposes of this Act, all students are assumed to be dependents unless the student has submitted evidence of emancipation. Further information may be obtained by contacting the office of the President.

ATTENDANCE REGULATIONS
General Policy Attendance at and participation in all class sessions, except for times when students are absent for reasons beyond their control, is regarded as essential. Class activities are planned for the benefit of all students.
Results of Failure to Attend Class A grade of ‘F’ is given for any course in which a student has missed half or more of the class meetings, whether the absences are excused or un e xcused, unless the student has completed withdrawal from the class before the stated deadline. An absence is recorded for each class missed by a student, including the first meeting of a class following registration, regardless of the reason for the absence. The responsibility for attending class rests with the student. Excused Absences. Although the instructor is obligated to allow the student to make up for full credit work missed because of an excused absence, such credit is established only through the initiative of the student in accomplishing the work to the full satisfaction of the instructor. Prior notice is expected for any known activities which will interfere with class attendance. Under the following circumstances an absence will be excused: a. Death or serious illness in the immediate family. b. Class field trips which are required as class assignments. c. Club trips which are designated as educational in nature. d. Trips sponsored or sanctioned by the University authorities as University bu s i n e s s . e. Trips required by Armed Services or the Veterans Adm i n i s t r a t i o n . f. Local emergencies requiring the immediate attention of certain students. g. Other reasons which are acceptable to the instructor. Absence due to illness of the student does not necessarily qualify as excused. Each instructor has the prerogative to establish policy on this issue; the policy is to be clearly stated at the beginning of the term. Other absences are considered unexcu s e d . Unexcused Absences. Faculty members are neither obligated nor expected to permit a student to make up work missed because of unexcused absences, including unexcused absences for which no penalty is assessed in accordance with the attendance policy. If a student is allowed to make up such work, full credit may not be allowed.
54 ACADEMIC PERSPECTIVES
Each student is permitted a number of unexcused class absences equal to the number of class meetings per week in a particular course before any penalty beyond the missed work may be assessed. Thereafter, the number of unexcused absences in a course may be used as a factor in determining a student’s grade. It is the obligation of the instructor to explain the policy at the beginning of the course. If the student attends more than half of the class meetings and thus is eligible for credit, the attendance factor may not exceed 25 percent of the total grade basis in the course.
Chapel Attendance Chapel is an essential part of fulfilling John Brown University’s basic mission of providing a “Christ-centered higher education”, and is therefore a requirement for all students. (See Student Handbook for chapel policy details.) The purpose of Chapel is to gather the University family in the co n t e xt of worship to better know, love, and glorify God, to gain His perspective on our learning, and to grow together as a Christ-ce n t e r e d community while committing ourselves to serving in the world as Jesus’ disciples. Chapel is not a replacement for participation in a local church, and students are encouraged to find a home church while at JBU. Students are also encouraged to take part in the various ministry and discipleship opportunities provided through the University Student Ministries Of f i c e .
Grading System Indication of each student’s progress is reported regularly by instructors. The grading scale used as a basis for letter grades is established by the instructor of each course. Midterm grade reports are issued to students and parents during the eighth week of classes; final grades are sent to the billing address.

In extenuating circumstances, the instructor may request an extension from the Dean of Undergraduate Studies. When an ‘F’ grade has been received, credit cannot be secured for work without repetition of the entire course.
Practicum Grading Practicums may be graded using standard letter grades. However, because practicums do not include tests or other types of objective of evaluation, grades of ‘S’ or ‘U’ often are assigned. Credit hours accrue in either ca s e .
Grade Renewal A student may repeat any course on his or her academic record with prior approval of the department and the registrar, with the understanding that all courses and grades will remain on the permanent record, but only the last grade received will be included in the calculation of the student’s grade point average. SCHOLASTIC AWARDS
Recognition of Superior Achievement Full-time students attaining certain standards of scholastic achievement are placed on the President’s or the Dean’s List of Distinguished Students at the end of each semester, and attention is drawn to them through various media. To qualify for the Dean’s list, the student must have at least 3.4, and at least 3.8 for the President’s list.
Degree Honors Upon completion of the Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree, each graduate who has attained a cumulative grade point average of 3.4 or above for all college work is recognized with an appropriate degree honor. The g.p . a . requirements must be met both in JBU work and in the student’s cumulative academic history. Eligibility is contingent upon completion of at
56 ACADEMIC PERSPECTIVES
least 62 semester hours of graded course work at regionally accredited institutions. Graduation honors are indicated on the diploma, and by the wearing of an appropriate medal on the gown during the commencement exercises. Cum Laude—Grade point average at least 3.4 Magna Cum Laude—Grade point average at least 3.6 Summa Cum Laude—Grade point average at least 3.8 Senior Scholastic Honors An engraved plaque is awarded to the graduate ranking highest among those majoring in each of the ten divisions. A grade point average of at least 3.4 is required.
University Honors Degree Each student who has successfully completed twenty-one hours of honors courses (as outlined under Honors Scholars Program, p. 21) will be granted a diploma certifying that he or she has earned a University Honors Degree. Such graduates will be identified in the Commencement Program.
Vera and Spencer Bartlett Respect Awards These awards, in memory of Vera and Spencer Bartlett, are presented each spring to students who are judged to best exemplify the greatest respect for God, for the United States of America, and for other people. To be eligible, a student must be a junior continuing into his or her senior year, a citizen of the United States, and must have average grades or better.
Alpha Chi Membership in Alpha Chi honor scholarship society is open by invitation to outstanding juniors and seniors. The John Brown University chapter, Ar k ansas Lambda, is affiliated with the National Alpha Chi Council.
SCHOLASTIC PROBATION AND REQUIRED ACHIEVEMENT FOR CONTINUED ENROLLMENT 1. A student with a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) less than 2.0 will be placed on probation the following semester. 2. The maximum enrollment per semester for any student on scholastic probation is 15 semester hours. Students should understand that such limited enrollment may lengthen the time required to meet graduation re q u i r e m e n t s .
57 JOHN BROWN UNIVERSITY
3. A student whose CGPA is still below 2.0 after being on probation for two successive semesters, or a student with less than a 1.0 semester GP A, will be suspended unless a petition for re-enrollment is approved by the Committee on Scholastic Pet i t i o n s . 4. A student may enroll after one semester of academic suspension if a petition is approved by the Committee on Scholastic Pet i t i o n s . 5. A student who is permitted to re-enroll after academic suspension may continue to re-enroll if satisfactory progress is being made toward a 2.0 CG P A as determined by the Committee on Scholastic Pet i t i o n s . 6. A student on Scholastic Probation may remain eligible for some types of financial aid, if standards for Satisfactory Progress are met. (See page 42.)
APPEAL PROCEDURE Occasionally a student may wish to appeal an academic action such as a grade, a graduation requirement, or a withdrawal penalty. Such appeals should be made in person or in writing to the appropriate Dean. In most cases the student should first request the support of his or her major adviser, department head, or division chair.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
John Brown University offers four-year courses leading to the following degrees: Bachelor of Science (B.S .), Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), Bachelor of Engineering (B.E .), Bachelor of Science in Education (B.S. E .), and Bachelor of Music Education (B.M u s . E .). Also offered are two-year courses leading to the Associate of Arts (A.A.) and Associate of Science (A.S.) degrees. Requirements which apply to all degree programs are set forth in this section. Requirements applicable to specific degree programs are stated in the curricular outlines which appear in the divisional and departmental sections of the catalog except that teaching degree requirements are found in the Division of Teacher Education. Most departments also have available suggested schedules which indicate courses taken in each semester in a typical program. The final responsibility for meeting all degree requirements rests with the student.
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BACHELOR’S DEGREE Education at John Brown University John Brown University provides an education that integrates the disciplinary studies selected by the student (the major field) with a more broadly based selection of educational experiences for each student. This combination of the general with the more specific is founded on JBU’s educational philosophies and goals. John Brown University holds that higher education and career preparation are not synonymous. While JBU has traditionally emphasized preparation for well-defined careers, it has done so within the context of a liberal arts college. Consequently, a John Brown University education consists of three elements: the Major, the Core Curriculum, and the Co-Curriculum. The courses in the Major prepare the student for a vocation, while the Core Curriculum presents a broad exposure to the sum of humankind’s knowledge and wisdom, an appreciation of which is characteristic of the balanced, whole college graduate. Many aspects of the model of wholeness are not addressed in either the major or the Core. Therefore, the extra- or co-cu r r i c u l a r aspect of the college experience—the Co-Curriculum—is an important component of JBU’s education program.
THE CORE CURRICULUM The Core Curriculum of John Brown University provides a foundation of Ch r i s t -centered higher education that integrates the intellectual, spiritual, and vocational to equip students for God-honoring service, relationships, and life- long learning. 59 JOHN BROWN UNIVERSITY
Core Curriculum studies, which include course work in traditional disciplines of the liberal arts and sciences, are those appropriate to the development of the student as a person. The Core is also designed to provide students with the higher-level, critical thinking skills that should be invaluable in a world which will require their occupational re-t r a i n i n g several times in a lifetime. JBU’s philosophy of educating the whole person is reflected in the combination of the general knowledge of the Core with the more specific knowledge of the disciplines and in the integration of faith and learning which is emphasized in all courses. A student educated at JBU should exemplify characteristics of the whole- person model of the University’s Core Curriculum Goals. The seven dimensions represented (Intellectual, Spiritual, Aesthetic, Emotional, Physical, Social/Cultural, and Occupational) comprise an ideal model of Christ- li k eness.
CORE CURRICULUM GOALS Through the courses of the Core Curriculum, the student will develop in the following dimensions. Intellectual Dimension The student will begin or continue to • acknowledge God as the source of all truth and beauty. • understand the intellect as a gift of God, while recognizing that both anti-intellectualism and intellectual arrogance are dangerous fallacies. • acknowledge Scripture as revealed truth. • apply intellectual abilities to the glory of God. • accept responsibility for his/her own education and understand the value of life- long learning. • use technology to enhance learning. • develop effective communication skills (oral, written, and non-verbal). • pursue disciplined inquiry and develop effective, creative problem solving skills. • acknowledge the benefits and limitations of the scientific method as an approach to discovering truth. • recognize the arts, sciences, and humanities as essential to a significant life.

Aesthetic Dimension The student will begin or continue to • recognize that God appreciates and enjoys beauty as evidenced by creation and sc r i p t u r e . • acknowledge that human creativity, such as expression in the arts, scholarly endeavors, and ecclesiastical traditions, derives from God in whose image human beings were created. • recognize that God values the human production, enjoyment, and study of beauty. • recognize that the liberal arts (humanities, arts, and pure sciences) represent an essential attempt by human beings to fulfill their creative function. • develop an informed and thoughtful philosophy of beauty. • appreciate the changing forms creative expression has taken throughout history and across cultures. • value the study of created beauty, both divine and human, as a means of exploring ethical, moral, and philosophical issues, in order to deepen one's relationship with God. Emotional Dimension The student will begin or continue to • acknowledge God as creator of human emotions reflecting His image. • understand and practice principles of sound emotional health. • experience and express emotions in healthy ways. • understand and apply self control. • be assertive without hostility. • practice persistence in the face of obstacles. • develop self motivation. • accept responsibility for his/her own feelings, thoughts, and actions. • understand interdependence. Physical Dimension The student will begin or continue to • acknowledge one’s body as the temple of the Holy Spirit. • understand and practice principles of Biblical stewardship as applied to one’s body. • accept personal responsibility for understanding and practicing sound principles of we l l n e s s .
61 JOHN BROWN UNIVERSITY
Social/Cultural Dimension The student will begin or continue to • acknowledge God’s directives for human interaction and God’s commitment to the worth of all people. • practice biblical principles in family relationships. • build and nurture relationships marked by characteristics such as sincerity, loyalty, trust, perceptiveness, empathy, compassion, justice, fairness, forgiveness, and fr e e d o m . • develop a commitment to service to others. • develop and maintain appropriate boundaries of intimacy. • develop and practice peacemaking skills. • understand and respect human diversity such as heritage, culture, race, gender, pe r s o n a l i t y , socioeconomic status, belief, and ability. • seek to understand ethical implications of human actions, including technological de v e l o p m e n t s . • demonstrate skill and accept responsibility in making ethical decisions. Occupational Dimension The student will begin or continue to • understand the Biblical value of work and its proper balance among all aspects of life. • understand vocational choice in relation to Biblical values and mandates, as well as personal strengths and weaknesses. • understand and evaluate various economic systems. • understand the international nature of the work place. • demonstrate responsibility for one’s vocational effectiveness, mastering skills such as time management, proper goal setting, and goal attainment. • display the flexibility to retrain as necessary in light of the constantly changing nature of the contemporary work place. • exhibit the ability to function effectively as both a leader and a member of a collaborative group. • consistently make occupational decisions that are based on Biblical ethics.
CORE CURRICULUM COURSES To work toward these diverse goals, the faculty of John Brown University has adopted a Core Curriculum consisting of the following 54 hours of course work: CO R 10 0 1 Foundations of Christian Scholarship BB L 10 1 3 Old Testament Survey BB L 10 2 2 New Testament Survey EG L 10 1 3 English I EG L 10 2 3 English II
62 DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
GS C 10 1 3 Biological Science GS C 1023 Physical Science HS C 1012 Foundations of Wellness I HS C 10 2 2 Foundations of Wellness II HS T 1003 Survey of Western Civilization MT H 10 0 3 Quantitative Literacy PS Y 10 1 3 Introductory Psy c h o l o g y EC N 20 0 2 Basic Economics PO L 20 0 3 Introduction to Political Thought BB L 30 0 3 Essentials of Evangelical Theology EN 30 0 2 Technology and Society MU S 30 0 3 Visual and Aural Arts RP H 30 0 2 Introduction to Philosophy BB L 40 0 2 Foundations and Practice of the Christian Life EG L 40 0 3 Masterpieces of Literature HS T 40 0 3 American Studies
Core Curriculum courses are sequenced, with some courses pre-requisite to others for the sake of coherence (indicated by arrows in the flow chart on the next page). These courses are not self-contained ends in themselves, but parts of a greater fabric. Instructors in upper-division courses are able to assume a base of knowledge and understanding and then use that as a foundation upon which to build. These connections between Core courses help demonstrate that it is only for the sake of convenience that human knowledge is fragmented into various disciplines; the body of understanding is a continuous whole. Sequencing of JBU’s Core courses is intended to reflect this interrelationship and to effect an enriched, more coherent college experience. Foundations of Christian Scholarship serves as an essential, integrative introduction to Core education from the JBU perspective. Three senior- level courses—Masterpieces of Literature, American Studies, and Fou n d a t i o n s and Practice of Christian Life—are capstones for the sequence. Consequently, these courses must be taken at John Brown University: • COR 1001 Foundations of Christian Scholarship • BBL 4002 Foundations and Practice of the Christian Life • either EGL 4003 Masterpieces of Literature or HST 4003 American Studies. Students in some degree programs are granted exceptions to certain Core requirements. Exceptions are of two kinds: substitutions and exem p t i o n s . In instances where the major curriculum requires rigorous work in one of the Core disciplines, the course work of the major may substitute for the Core course. All substitutions and exemptions are noted in the disciplinary studies curriculum listings in the appropriate places in this catalog.

Sequencing in the Core Curriculum
64 DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
THE CO-CURRICULUM Complementary to and supportive of the Core Curriculum is the Co- Curriculum. The Core and Co-Curriculum have many of the same goals, some of which, especially those of the Spiritual, Social, and Emotional dimensions, are more strongly addressed through the Co-Cu r r i c u l u m . Co -curricular components include Freshman Orientation, the Chapel program, student organizations (e.g., SGA, Cause Ministries, Residence Hall Associations), growth and support groups (Passion), lectureships and other special events, counseling, the Career Development Center, the Learning Assistance Program, forums and other out-of -class programs presented by the Faculty and Staff, the Lyceum Artists Series, intramural sports, Residence Life programs, programming for married students, the Soderquist Ce n t e r , the Center for Marriage and Family Studies, and the student leadership programs. The Core Curriculum and Co-Curriculum are mutually reinforcing and in t e r d e p e n d e n t . COMPETENCY REQUIREMENTS Reading, Writing, and Mathematics All students in bachelor’s degree programs, with the exception of Tea c h e r Education students, are required to achieve satisfactory scores on designated tests in the Collegiate Assessment of Academic Proficiency (CAAP) program in the areas of reading, writing (essay and multiple-choice grammar), and mathematics. Acceptable scores are established on the basis of published national norms. Certain CAAP tests—reading, grammar, and math—may be waived on the basis of acceptable entrance scores on respective components of the ACT or SAT. The CAAP essay exam may not be waived. The necessary competency examinations must be attempted no later than the semester during which a student’s career hours reach 45; failure to do so will result in a registration block for the next term. Students who transfer to JBU with 45 or more semester hours are to take the tests during the first semester in residence. Students enrolled in ESL classes may postpone the CAAP Reading and Writing tests until EGL 1023— English II has been successfully completed. Students whose scores fall short of the standards for the establishment of competency in reading, writing, and/or mathematics must take action as recommended by the Director of Academic Assistance and retest each semester until the each proficiency standard has been met. As seniors retake the Academic Profile test (see “Entrance Assessment,” p. 66 and “Exit Assessment,” p. 67.) at the beginning of their seventh se m e s t e r , they must validate their competencies in reading, writing, and
65 JOHN BROWN UNIVERSITY
mathematics. A student who fails to do so must retake the CAAP test(s) in the failed area(s). Costs of the CAAP and PPST testing, including retakes, are the responsibility of the student. Computer All students must demonstrate computer skills at a level satisfactory to the department of the major discipline. Most degree plans specify a course in which a grade of ‘C’ or better establishes competency. The course requirement will be waived when a student’s skills meet the specifications of his department and the Division Chair notifies the Registrar’s Office ac c o r d i n g l y . Competency must be established by the conclusion of the semester in which the student reaches 45 hours earned; failure to do so will result in a registration block for the next term. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BACCALAUREATE DEGREE Entrance Assessment All entering students, including transfers, are required to participate in appropriate assessment activities. These include, but are not limited to, the Academic Profile (a designated test of academic skills) and the CIRP (a freshman survey used nationwide). Each student receives a copy of his test results. Students are re-tested as Seniors (see “Exit Assessment” on next page), and the results are used as the basis of a longitudinal study. Major Subject Area Each Bachelor’s degree program requires 24 or more semester hours in the major field, including a minimum of 12 hours in courses of junior-se n i o r level, at least two courses of which must be taken in residence at John Brown University. The Division Chair has the prerogative of approving substitutions for courses specified by a major department. Most degrees require a minimum grade point average of 2.25 for major area course work. The Division of Teacher Education requires a 2.5 average for professional education and specialized field courses. Minor Subject Area Completion of a minor requires 18 to 27 semester hours, in accordance with the department’s specifications. Included must be 6 or more hours in courses of junior-senior level. Minimum grade point average for course work in the minor area is 2.0. Minors are not required within some larger degree plans, such as engineering and teacher education. 66 DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Junior-Senior Courses Each candidate for a bachelor’s degree is required to submit a minimum of 40 hours in upper-division (junior-senior) courses, identified by numbers 3000 and above. Included in this total are the 18 upper division hours specified in the Core Curriculum as well as courses in the major and minor fields. Foreign Language In general, Bachelor of Arts curricula specify twelve semester hours in one foreign language; however, a specific curriculum may permit combination of two languages. New Testament Greek fulfills the language requirement in the Biblical Studies curricula and may substitute for modern foreign language in other majors, given written approval of the department head. High school or other credit in languages may establish a waiver of part of this requirement. Most Bachelor of Science programs do not require foreign language. Minimum Total Semester Hours Completion of any Bachelor’s degree at John Brown University requires at least 124 hours of academic credit. Certain programs well exceed the mi n i m u m . Sufficient courses must be completed to offset any deficiency in total number of semester hours, in addition to all other specific requirements, preferably in an area which will enrich and broaden the student’s acquaintance with the major areas of knowledge and/or strengthen mastery of a field of concentration. Grade Point Average The grade point average of all degree work must be at least 2.0, in the minor subject at least 2.0, and in the major subject at least 2.25. GPA minimums must be met both in JBU work and in the student’s cumulative academic history. Teacher education programs require a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5 and at least 2.5 in professional education, concentration, and state-required courses. Exit Assessment All seniors are required to participate in designated assessment activities as a condition of graduation. Such activities may include, but are not limited to, the CCS (a survey of college seniors used nationwide), a standardized test in the student’s major field, exit interviews with faculty members in the student’s major department and/or members of the Core Curriculum Committee, and re-taking the Academic Profile, the measure of academic skills taken as an entering student. 67 JOHN BROWN UNIVERSITY
Exit Assessment is founded on the belief that prospective John Brown University graduates should reflect on their college experience. Students receive the results of all standardized tests taken. They also receive a brief analysis of “gains” as measured by the Academic Profile. Application for Graduation An Application for Graduation form, available at the Registrar’s Office, should be completed when registering for the final semester in residence before completion of degree requirements. This application provides information regarding billing of the graduation fee and exit assessment requirements, a final check of the student’s name as it is to appear on the diploma and in the commencement program, and a statement of how and when the student plans to complete any degree requirements which will be unmet by the end of the final semester in residence.
Participation in Commencement Exercises Current policy allows degree candidates to participate in the commencement exercise only upon completion of all graduation requirements. Exce p t i o n s to this policy, while rare, may be granted by the appropriate dean under special circumstances, but such exceptions shall be limited to the spring commencement.
Residence Requirements Fulfillment of the residence requirements for a bachelor’s degree from John Brown University consists of the following: 1. Completion after achievement of junior standing of at least two full-time semesters in residence. 2. Completion by means of courses taken in residence of at least 39 of the final 45 semester hours of credit presented in fulfillment of degree requirements. 3. Completion in residence of at least two junior-senior level courses constituting four or more credit hours in the major field. Residence requirements may be modified to accommodate students in Pr e -Medical and Pre-Dental programs.
68 DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Correspondence and Extension Work A maximum of 30 hours of degree credit may be earned through correspondence and extension work. Each course must include a proctored exam and must be approved in advance by the major adviser and Registrar. Approval forms are available in the Registrar’s Office. The chairperson of the Teacher Education Division must approve all correspondence courses related to professional education. Grades earned in such courses will be included in the career grade point average.
Transfer of Credit Credit which has been earned at another institution will be reviewed by the Registrar and the appropriate division chair, and the applicability to courses in the chosen degree program will be determined. Each course accepted for transfer must have a minimum grade of ‘C’; courses with lower grades will be posted as ‘NC’ (No Credit). All work will be included in the student’s career grade point average. Honors for graduating seniors must be earned both in JBU work and in career grade point average. Credits from institutions which are not regionally accredited may be accepted provisionally. After the student completes one full-time semester at John Brown University with a GPA of 2.0 or better, the transfer credits are evaluated, possibly requiring formal or informal testing. If accepted, courses are posted as ‘CR’, with no letter grades. Credits earned prior to five years before the date of application may not be accepted. Currently enrolled students planning to take summer courses or correspondence work at other institutions must receive prior written approval of the major adviser and the registrar. Official course descriptions of proposed work are required.
Maximum Experiential Credits The maximum total credit allowed for vocal and instrumental ensembles toward the requirements of a bachelor’s degree is eight hours for music majors and four hours for non-music majors; two hours may apply to associate’s degrees. The maximum allowed for broadcasting and journalism practicums is twelve hours toward bachelor’s degrees in Communications, six toward other bachelor’s degrees or associate’s degrees in Communications, and three toward other associate programs. Biblical Studies Division majors may apply as many as six hours of guided field experience/observation to a bachelor’s degree; other majors may count three ho u r s .
69 JOHN BROWN UNIVERSITY
Requirements for Additional Bachelor’s Degrees For two Bachelor’s degrees, a minimum of 154 semester hours must be completed incorporating all requirements for both degrees, including at least two courses of junior-senior level in the second major field taken in residence at John Brown University. A maximum of 36 credits by exa m may be included. All other stipulations of the residence requirements apply to the second as well as to the first degree. A third Bachelor’s degree requires completion of a minimum of 184 semester hours. Graduation Requirements after Extended Absence In general, a student is required to graduate under the requirements of a catalog which is current at the time of graduation. Current catalogs are those dated for the year in which a student’s degree is conferred and for the four preceding years. A student who, after an extended absence, desires to complete graduation requirements under a catalog which was in effect while the student was in residence at JBU is subject to the following: 1. The student must meet the requirements in the major field as listed in a current catalog completing in the five years prior to graduation a minimum of six semester hours in the major field (as approved by the major department). 2. If general education requirements were completed under the older ca t a l o g , the general education requirements of a current catalog are considered met. In areas (biblical studies, social studies, natural science, etc.) where not all general education requirements were completed, current catalog requirements must be met. 3. A student completing one of the teacher education curricula must meet Ar k ansas certification requirements in effect at the time of graduation. 4. All provisions of the residence requirement must be met. Fresh Start Policy The student who re-enrolls in the University after an absence of seven or more years and successfully completes a full-time semester may request the Academic Dean for a “Fresh Start”. If the request is approved, the JBU grade point average used as basis for good academic standing, financial aid el i g i b i l i t y , and minimum JBU g.p.a. for graduation will exclude all credits earned prior to the absence. In effect, the Fresh Start treats early JBU work as transfer work. Only those courses with grades of ‘A,’ ‘B,’ ‘C,’ or ‘S’ may be counted toward the degree. Graduation honors calculations include all work, including transfer work and courses eliminated by the Fresh Start unless repeated for grade renewal.

John Brown University’s basic mission is to provide Christ-centered higher education which contributes dynamically to the intellectual, spiritual, and occupational effectiveness of men and women in God-honoring living and service. Building upon this foundation, the Division of Business accepts the following as its own unique mission within the University: To advance the Kingdom by developing leaders of competence, character, and conscience through student-centered educational programs in Business. Acc o r d i n g l y , the Division seeks to provide an educational experience for its majors characterized by * the integration of faith with the learning process * a respect for the worth of the individual who is a unique product of God’s creative power, endowed with unique gifts and abilities * an up-to-date curriculum addressing a body of knowledge vital to oneís personal success in life as well as the ability to function effectively in an organizational context * a focus on the ability to process knowledge, to think analytically and logically to reach workable conclusions consistent with scriptural truth * an emphasis on people skills, recognizing that organizational success is dependent as much upon social interaction as it is upon one’s kn o w l e d g e * the philosophy that the “bottom line” is measured not in dollars or material wealth, but in terms of the Christian concept of stewardship, that our money is to be our servant rather than our ruler, and that only what we do for Christ has eternal value.
Degree Programs. The Division of Business offers four undergraduate degree programs leading to the Bachelor of Science (B.S .) or Bachelor of Arts (B.A.): Public Acc o u n t i n g , Private Acc o u n t i n g , Business Adm i n i s t r a t i o n , and International Business. Also offered are the Master of Science in Leadership and Ethics (M.S. L. E .) degree and the Master of Business Administration (M.B .A.). The degree programs of the Division of Business, both undergraduate and graduate, are accredited by the International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education. The master’s degrees are described on pages 326-328.

The Public Acc o u n t i n g degree is appropriate for those who wish to enter the field of public accounting and aspire to become a Certified Public Accountant. The 130-hour curriculum provides all specific course requirements for students to sit for the CPA exam in Arkansas. However, because Arkansas and most other states require that exam candidates have 150 hours of college credit, students are encouraged to enter graduate study after completion of the Public Accounting program. The additional hours may be earned in pursuit of the MBA or MSLE degree at John Brown Un i v e r s i t y . Some master’s degree tracks can be completed in only one additional year of study. The 124-hour Private Acc o u n t i n g degree is appropriate for those who wish to enter the field of financial or managerial accounting in the private or governmental sector, and aspire to become a Certified Management Accountant. This degree is also for those who wish to go into public accounting after four years of college and pick up the additional hours necessary for the CPA exam as part of a masters degree program or later pa r t -time study. The Business Adm i n i s t r a t i o n degree is a versatile program and is appropriate for those who wish to operate their own business, enter the field of business as an employee of an existing firm, pursue a masters or law degree, or serve in church or missions administration. The International Business degree is a broad program of administrative and intercultural studies designed to prepare students to function competently in international and multicultural business contexts. In addition to the campus curriculum, students have the opportunity to participate in overseas study and international internships. This program is enhanced by JBU’s rich tradition of international student diversity.
Students seeking degrees in Private Accounting or Business Adm i n i s t r a t i o n must declare an area of concentration—an opportunity for focused business- related studies. Areas of concentration include Acc o u n t i n g , Economics, Information Systems, International Business, Leadership and Management, and Market i n g . A minor field of study from another academic division may be declared instead of an area of concentration. Students seeking degrees in Public Accounting or International Business are not required to declare an area of concentration, but they may opt to do so.
Students in degree programs outside the Division of Business may pursue various minor fields of study within the division including Acc o u n t i n g , Business Administration, Economics, Information Systems, International Business, Leadership and Management, and Market i n g .

Caldwell, K. Davis, French (chair), Kim, Macfarlan, McCrary, Norwood, Pea r s o n , Se t i a n
The purpose of the Division of Engineering and Technology is to provide a university education integrating general studies and disciplinary studies in such a way that the student may be competent in various engineering or construction activities. The faculty of the Division seeks to establish the student in the methods of carefully and logically understanding problems and then to proceed to design solutions for those problems. Education within the Division is in the context that “All truth is God’s truth”; therefore, a biblical world- and li f e -view is the basis for problem-solving procedures. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.” (Proverbs 1:7) A low student-faculty ratio within the Division assures interaction between faculty and students on these and other issues. The curriculum and the co-curriculum prepare the Division graduate to function effectively in advanced technical positions, or to enter graduate st u d i e s . Degree Programs Bachelor of Engineering with Electrical or Mechanical concentration Bachelor of Science in Construction Management Bachelor of Science in Computer Science Associate of Science in Building Construction Tec h n o l o g y Associate of Science in Electromechanical Tec h n o l o g y Minor in Computer Science Minor in Construction Management
Acc r e d i t a t i o n The Bachelor of Engineering degree with electrical or mechanical concentration is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). The Construction Management degree is accredited by the American Council for Construction Education (ACC E ) .

University Core Curriculum The Core Curriculum at John Brown University provides a broad base in Biblical studies, humanities and social sciences, natural sciences, mathematics, physical wellness, and a significant emphasis on oral reporting and writing. Depth is provided with special focus on writing and critical thinking through junior/senior level courses in visual and aural arts, literature, and Christian life studies.
Facilities The division facilities are in three buildings, providing 25000 square feet. Laboratories occupy 10000 square feet and shops 4000 square feet. There are two computer-aided design laboratories. The Division supports over 90 computers: PCs, PLCs, and microprocessors. The campus computer network provides access to the Internet. Laboratories support instruction and student design activities in thermal sciences, fluids, mechanical testing, machine design, materials science, instrumentation, control systems, electronics, communications and opto-el e c t r o n i c s . A welding shop, a machine shop, and a modeling shop provide support for student projects. The Construction Management Department has a construction staging area, and uses Simon Sager Cabin, a building on the National Register of Historic Places, for student offices of the capstone CM course and the CM student organization.
Advisory Boards Advisory boards for both construction and engineering are made up of distinguished alumni and other professionals. These groups give counsel on curriculum focus, professional issues, and integration of faith and le a r n i n g .
Scholarships Scholarships are available to upper-division construction management and engineering students. These are supported by the Fred Olney Memorial Endowment, the V.C. Gehron family, the Thomas and Dorothy McCaw Fund for Engineering Excellence, the Harold C. Ward Engineering Scholarship fund, the Nabholz Construction Company, Dennis Schumacher, the Levy Endowment, the National Association of Women in Construction, Ira and Ruthe Jones, National Society of Professional Estimators, and CM alumni. Applications may be made in the division office.

BACHELOR DEGREE PROGRAMS
BACHELOR OF ENGINEERING— Electrical or Mechanical Concentration Engineers apply the theories and principles of science and mathematics to the economical solution of practical technical problems. There are some 25 different engineering specialties but of the nearly 1.5 million engineering jobs available each year the greatest numbers are filled by engineers having electrical or mechanical backgrounds. More than one half of engineering jobs are in the manufacturing industries. The major part of the remainder is in engineering and architectural services and business and management consulting services. Governments employ about 200,000 engineers. Engineers in the electrical and mechanical areas design, develop, test and supervise the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment, mechanical equipment, energy systems and information systems.
Design Emphasis At John Brown University the engineering design experience starts in the freshman year, develops with more extensive technical content through the sophomore and junior years and culminates with the two-semester senior design project. The scheme for the lower-level design courses is to introduce design methodology using small design projects that prepare the student to clearly define the problem, identify the constraints and criteria, and establish the requirements for the design. By the third year, the student will have developed the technical background to work out significant engineering design problems. The junior-level design lab provides an opportunity to work with an interdisciplinary team and produce both oral and written presentations. Fourth year experiences include those in electronic design, antenna design, machine design and fluid system design as well as the capstone design project. The capstone project is an intense experience for the engineering student. It approaches a “real-world” situation. The projects must be finished and satisfy stated objectives as determined by active negotiation with the engineering faculty and the sponsors. Oral and written presentations are produced for this project.
Program Education Objectives Over the Long Term * To develop and maintain an engineering program with electrical and mechanical concentrations that graduates students who are prepared and confident to begin an entry-level engineering position, pursue graduate studies, or contribute as a Christian technical missionary.
114 ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
* To provide a quality education with emphasis given to appropriate scientific principles and engineering fundamentals. * To extend the theoretical aspects of the curriculum to practical application through laboratory and computer experience and appropriate design activities. * To stay exposed to technological progress within the engineering co m m u n i t y , such as computer-aided design, and to integrate these developments into the curriculum. * To increase student awareness of global community activities, particularly appropriate third-world country technologies so that students may involve themselves in community service. * To provide ethical training, to promote an attitude of professionalism and social responsibility, and to encourage involvement in professional so c i e t i e s . * To identify the particular abilities of students and encourage involvement in experiences that will develop and enhance those abilities, strengthen character and stimulate perseverance.
Admission Requirements Fir s t -time freshmen Entering freshmen must present a high school transcript showing (1) graduation from high school, (2) rank in graduating class, (3) the score and percentile achieved on ACT or SAT college aptitude test and (4) completion of four units of high school English, three units of high school science, four units of high school mathematics and two units of high school social studies. The student must have scored at or above the 40th percentile on the ACT or SAT test and have a high school cumulative GP A of at least 2.5 (4.0 scale) excluding any remedial course work. A student who intends to pursue a degree in engineering and meets the criteria for admission to JBU with the exception of one or more of the high school course requirements must take additional courses to meet that de f i c i e n c y . For instance, if a student has not had four courses in high school mathematics the student is required to take college algebra or trigonometry or both before entering calculus. This remedial requirement is noted in the student file and may affect the time of application for Degree Ca n d i d a c y .
International students These applicants must have an interview with a member of the International Student Office or a representative of that office and demonstrate proficiency in English. Applicants must take the

Comprehensive English Language Test. This test is used to place students in the appropriate level of English instruction—ESL I, ESL II, ESL III, or English I. In addition to the English language requirement, international applicants must provide official transcripts of academic records from a secondary school or university. These records must show the equivalent of a 2.5 GP A and for the first-time college student a high school record showing the completion of three courses in natural science, four courses in mathematics and two courses in social studies.
Degree Candidacy Students must apply for degree candidacy status during the second semester of the sophomore year. At this time, the student will make known the concentration of choice. For full acceptance as a degree candidate the student typically must satisfy the following requirements: 1. Have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.30. 2. Establish English competency. 3. Satisfactorily complete MTH 1134, 1144, 2114, CHM 1124, PHY 2114, CS 1113, EN 1112, EN 1123, EE 2113, EGL 1013, BBL 1013, 1022 and HST 1003. Acceptance as a “degree candidate” is prerequisite to enrollment in 3000- level courses in engineering. A student not fulfilling the conditions above may apply for probationary status. This status may assist certain students who are ready to take 3000-level courses before they have successfully completed the required set of courses and/or attained the minimum GPA standard. Probationary status (i.e., not a degree candidate but allowed to ta k e certain 3000-level courses) is possible as long as the number of course deficiencies is not greater than two and the student’s GPA is no less than 2.20. Once the student is placed on probation the deficiencies must be made up within the agreed upon time (maximum time period is one year). If this does not occur, the student cannot again apply for degree candidacy. Students may elect to remedy deficiencies without applying for probationary status and hence delay taking 3000-level courses until compliance with the degree candidacy requirements is achieved.
Certification for Computer Systems Emphasis Any student who completes the B.E . degree with designated computer oriented technical electives plus four approved computer science courses may request and receive a letter of certification from the Chair of the Division of Engineering and Technology certifying this additional computer systems em p h a s i s .
116 ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
Certification for Additional Concentration Any student who completes the four mechanical concentration courses in addition to the B.E . program with electrical concentration may request and receive a letter of certification from the chair of the Division of Engineering and Technology certifying this additional work in another concentration. Any student who completes the four electrical concentration courses in addition to the B.E . program with mechanical concentration has the same pr i v i l e g e .

The mission of the Division of Health Science is to promote God- honoring lifestyles by offering quality academic preparation and opportunities to participate in intramural and intercollegiate athletics, and to provide wellness programs and facilities to the John Brown University campus, local co m m u n i t y , and alumni. The Division—by means of its committed Fac u l t y , departments of Recreational Sports, Intercollegiate Athletics, Walton Lifetime Health Co m p l e x Services, and sponsorship of Summer Camps and Conferences—is devoted to developing in students the knowledge on which to base sound decisions for a lifetime, the skills necessary for the implementation of those decisions, and an awareness of the resources and services available to facilitate the pursuit of a positive lifestyle. As cited in the Carnegie Report on “The Undergraduate Experience in America”, all students should be helped to understand that ‘wellness’ is a prerequisite to all else. They should be taught about good nutrition and exercise, and begin to understand that caring for one’s body is a special trust. The wellness thrust at JBU encompasses the areas of exercise and fitness, nutrition, stress management, substance use and abuse, safety, and origin of diseases. It is the preparation to make life-serving decisions that enables students, fa c u l t y , and staff to develop skills for achieving an optimal level of wellness. Through the Division of Health Science four degree programs are available leading to the Bachelor of Science (B.S .) or Bachelor of Science in Education (B.S. E .): Sports Medicine/Exercise Science, Community Health Promotion, Recreation Leadership, and Teaching Health and Physical Ed u c a t i o n . The baccalaureate curriculum in Sports Medicine/Exercise Science leads toward certifications through the American College of Sports Medicine and National Strength and Conditioning Association or graduate studies in exercise physiology, sport nutrition, or allied health professions such as athletic training, physical therapy or occupational therapy. Community Health Promotion is a Bachelor of Science program that serves as a foundation for careers in health promotion in corporate and community settings. This program has a strong leadership and management component. The Recreation Leadership major is a Bachelor of Science program which provides the basics for a career in leadership and
131 JOHN BROWN UNIVERSITY
management of community recreation programs. In Teaching Health and Physical Education, students may choose a Bachelor of Science in Education track leading to certification at either Primary level through Grade Eight, or Grades Seven through Twelve. These programs are certified by the Ar k ansas Department of Education and the National Certification Association of Teacher Education (NCATE ) .

The Division of Language and Art comprises the Departments of Art and Design, English, Language Studies, Music, and Theatre Arts. Bachelor’s degrees are offered in Graphic Design, Illustration, English, and Music. Curricula leading to teacher certification are offered in English and Music.
MISSION STATEMENT OF THE DIVISION OF LANGUAGE AND ART The mission of the Division of Language and Arts is to promote, from a distinctly Christian perspective, the intellectual, spiritual, and emotional development of all the constituents of the University and to develop professional competence in the students who major in any Language and Art degree program. The Division serves an important role in the general education curriculum of the university, offering several core classes: that stimulate critical thinking; that expose students to the great tradition of arts and literature of the Wes t ; that encourage students to consider both the values of that tradition and the problems inherent in the canonization of tradition; that develop competence in and understanding of visual, aural, and literary modes of communication; that develop cross-cultural understanding in Western and non-Western traditions; and that promote life-long learning and enjoyment in the arts and li t e r a t u r e . The Division serves an equally important role in the broader general education purposes of the university by offering quality arts programming that promotes appreciation of the arts and literature; that encourages formal and informal dialogue on the Christian’s relationship to the arts and literature; and that enhances the reputation of John Brown University regionally and nationally.
141 JOHN BROWN UNIVERSITY
For students who major in any of the Language and Art degree programs, the division aspires—through classes, internships, and experiential learning opportunities—to develop competent professionals who are prepared to take their places in the working world and who realize their Christian potential as lights in that world.

DEPARTMENT OF LANGUAGE STUDIES (S Y M BO L : LS) Courses in modern foreign languages are offered to meet the needs of students in several major programs which require one or two years of language study. In particular, the department cooperates, in the design and scheduling of its courses, with the programs in English, History, Intercultural Studies, International Business, Music, and Political Science. Minors are offered in French, German, and Spanish. The department also teaches Linguistics and other languages. Courses in Latin and Japanese have been designed and will be offered upon sufficient student interest. A hallmark of the program is the use of instructional technology for out- of -class practice and exposure to samples of actual language use. Students of Spanish may study in Costa Rica in a Council for Christian Colleges and Universities program. Study abroad opportunities tailored to the specifics of the JBU curriculum are being established in Mexico and Eu r o p e . Any student may take the first college course for credit in any language offered; this includes any student who has completed substantial language study in high school. College credit may also be established in language by CLEP or other examinations approved by the department. Based upon recommendation of the LS department, a student may enter language study above the basic level without having established college credit for the first course(s). In such cases, the early courses are waived upon completion of subsequent work. The waiver does not establish credit; hours are posted only for the specific courses completed. However, a language requirement is considered met upon completion of the highest course required.
Requirements for minor in Spanish, French, or German Completion of 21 hours of credit, including the 12 hours of elementary and intermediate study; the appropriate readings course (LS 4153, 4253, or 4353); Introduction to Linguistics (LS 3173); and Second Language Acquisition (ICS 3183).
149 JOHN BROWN UNIVERSITY
DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC (S Y M BO L : MUS) For those wishing to follow careers in music, courses are offered leading to the degrees Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and (through the Division of Teacher Education) Bachelor of Music Education. These courses provide a well-rounded education for those wishing to enter the music profession as artists, teachers, supervisors, church musicians, and as musicians in other fields. The program in music is closely allied with work in Bible, liberal arts, and technological departments, providing students majoring outside the Department of Music the opportunity to study music while pursuing degrees in other fields. Entrance Prerequisites for the Music Major/Minor In addition to satisfying the University’s general requirements for admission (page 31), all applicants, transfer students as well as entering freshmen, must audition for admission to the music program. During the audition, each candidate must demonstrate ability and potential in voice and key b o a r d pe r f o r m a n c e : 1. Vocal skill. Required of all applicants is a good sense of rhythm, the ability to sing true pitch, and the ability to sing at sight a simple hymn or folk tune with a fair degree of accuracy. a. Prospective voice majors should be prepared to perform two or three songs. Suggested works include songs by classical composers (in a foreign language, if possible), and songs from operettas or Broadway musicals. b. Prospective keyboard majors will be asked to sing a familiar song of their choice. 2. Piano skill. a. Prospective voice majors will be asked to demonstrate their key b o a r d skills. Students who do not play the piano may opt to demonstrate their skill on some other instrument as well. This would assist the faculty in evaluating the student’s musical potential. b. Prospective piano and organ majors will be asked to play the following: the scale and arpeggio on the tonic chord from any major or minor key; a more difficult work by J.S . Bach (an Invention, a Sinfonia, or a Prelude and Fugue); one movement from a sonata by Haydn, Mozart, or Beethoven; and one work of comparable difficulty by a composer from the 19th or 20th century. Students entering during the Fall semester should complete the auditions by April 15. Audition forms are available through the Music Department or the Admissions Office. 150 LA N G U AGE AND ART
An on-campus audition is preferable both for the student and for the fa c u l t y , but in cases where travel to Siloam Springs presents an ext r e m e hardship, a cassette recording will suffice. Students accepted on the basis of a cassette recording will need to complete the remainder of the audition (s i g h t -singing for all, plus piano for voice majors) during the freshman orientation prior to registration: they may be asked to present part of their audition at that time. Students are advised to complete all aspects of the audition as early in the high school senior year as possible; those with deficiencies will be so advised, so that they may begin to work in the necessary area(s) before entering the University. Upon entrance, those who have not met the prerequisites may be granted permission by the music faculty to declare a provisional music major until such deficiencies are eliminated. Course work in the major applied area will then be designated as MUS 0991 or 0992 and will not count toward the bachelor's degree nor the minor. Once the deficiencies are removed, a student will enroll for credit in the applied field. Students entering with deficiencies should be aware that they will probably be unable to complete a degree within the usual period of time.
Music Scholarships A student who demonstrates outstanding potential in the major performance area may, at the discretion of the faculty, be offered a music scholarship. A separate music scholarship application, or a second audition, is not required of first-time applicants. The awarding of a music scholarship is based primarily on musical ability as determined in an audition (for entering students, the audition for admission described above). Once a scholarship has been granted, the recipient must earn a GPA of 2.0 each semester and maintain at least a 3.0 GPA in applied music lessons and a 2.5 cumulative GPA. Scholarships are reviewed by the music faculty at the end of each semester.
General Requirements for Music Degrees 1. Demonstrated potential. Each candidate must select a major subject (organ, piano, or voice), meet yearly requirements as set by the music fa c u l t y , and fulfill all stated degree requirements. Since the B.A. with an emphasis in voice, piano, or organ (see p. 154) is more performance- intensive than the B.A. with a major in music (see p. 156), students must demonstrate adequate potential in performance before being admitted to this degree program. In preparation for official admittance, which typically occurs during the sophomore year, students desiring to pursue the performance degree should enroll each term in two-credit applied lessons in the major area, so as not to fall behind in the program’s specifications.
151 JOHN BROWN UNIVERSITY
2. Ensemble participation. Each music major is required to participate satisfactorily in at least one ensemble per semester at JBU. (The faculty may grant exceptions to students in directed teaching or to students taking fewer than six hours.) Up to 4 hours of accompanying practicum (after meeting degree requirements) may count as ensemble credit for those whose major instrument is piano. Students may choose choral or instrumental groups. Qualified non-music majors are encouraged to participate. 3. Recital attendance. Each student receiving credit in applied music must attend a specified number of recitals. Failure to meet the recital attendance requirements will adversely affect the grade in applied music. 4. Recital participation. All music majors and minors must perform in a departmental recital at least once during the freshman year and at least once each semester thereafter. 5. Jury exams. Counterparts to final exams in lecture courses, juries are scheduled at the end of each semester of applied study. Although the overall grade is assigned at the discretion of the instructor, a student must pass the exam before advancing in his applied area. 6. Piano proficiency. No n - k eyboard majors are required to enroll in Class Piano beginning the first semester at John Brown University and continuing each semester thereafter until proficiency is established. Based on demonstrated keyboard skill and consent of instructor, some students may ta k e private piano lessons in lieu of Class Piano I. Proficiency may be established in one of two ways: a. Successful completion of Class Piano I, II, III, and IV (MUS 1931, 1941, 2931, and 2941) with a minimum of a 3.0 average in Class Piano III and IV; or b. Satisfactory performance of the following: i) major scales, 2 octaves, hands together, eighth notes at minimum tempo MM=80 per quarter; ii) major and minor arpeggios in all inversions, 4 octaves, eighth notes at minimum tempo MM=60 per quarter;
6 7 iii) major and minor cadences (I-IV-I 4-V -I) in all inversions; iv) three pieces from repertoire of an intermediate level from different stylistic periods (memory of this literature not required although highly desirable for at least one selection); and v) sightreading of a simple hymn and a simple accompaniment. A student should not schedule the proficiency exam until he and the instructor are confident that he is ready to pass the complete proficiency. If the student does not pass one section, he will be permitted to re-t a k e
152 LA N G U AGE AND ART
that area of the exam in the following semester(s). If a student does not pass two areas of the exam, the complete exam is to be retaken following further study. Enrollment in piano lessons with an upper division number (3000+) is permitted only after taking four semesters of piano and passing the piano proficiency for non-keyboard majors or, for piano majors, the sophomore barrier exa m . 7. The "Sophomore Barrier Exam" is the jury at the end of the second year of degree credit in the major applied area. This mini-recital, twice the length of juries which follow other semesters, must be passed before the student may enter upper division work in applied music. If a student does not pass this exam, he must complete at least one additional semester of applied study before re-taking the exa m . Voice majors and concentrates are expected to a. sightread a song of medium difficulty; and b. perform from memory repertoire representing three languages, of varying styles, and with a sense of mature musicality and expressiveness, appropriate for the intended career goal. Piano majors and concentrates are expected to play a. major, harmonic, and melodic minor scales for four octaves in sixteenth notes at a minimum tempo of MM=120 per quarter note, hands together; b. major and minor arpeggios in all inversions for four octaves in sixteenth notes at a minimum tempo of MM=100 per quarter note, hands together; 6 7 c. major and minor cadences (I-IV-I 4-V -I) in all inversions with left hand in octaves; d. advanced literature from 3 of the 4 contrasting style periods, including Baroque (Bach WTC or comparable-more difficult than Two - part Inventions), Classical (Beethoven or Mozart sonata or comparable literature), Romantic (Chopin, Brahms), and Impressionistic/20th century (D e b u s s y , Prokofieff). At least one piece or movement is to be completely memorized. The performance of these requirements should be stylistically convincing, and the performer should display a developing sense of musicality and expressiveness; and e. sight reading of (1) a hymn in three or more accidentals with some rhythmic complexity and (2) a vocal accompaniment of an early- intermediate level. Transfer students must demonstrate proficiency at the level of the sophomore barrier exam before entering upper division work. Each candidate for the B.A. degree with an emphasis in organ must also earn the Service Playing Certificate (CSP) of the American Guild of Organists before entering upper level work.
153 JOHN BROWN UNIVERSITY

DIVISION OF NATURAL SCIENCE

The Division of Natural Science, consisting of the Departments of Bi o l o g y , Chemistry, General Science, Mathematics, and Physics, is equipped to give students excellent general knowledge of the indicated fields. Majors are offered in Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Environmental Science, and Mathematics; a minor field may be elected in any of the departments. Degrees which prepare students for professional careers are available as well: Teacher education programs in biology, chemistry, general science, and mathematics; and pre-professional programs leading to occupations in health fields, scientific research, and college teaching. Students with high achievement are encouraged to consider graduate study. The Division offers Core Curriculum courses which offer a breadth of applicable scientific knowledge to students throughout the University. In each area of the curricula, the Division desires to provide an understanding of the natural world which can help our students to become established as Christian thinkers, prepared for God-honoring careers and service.
PREPARATION FOR MEDICAL SCHOOL AND OTHER PROFESSIONAL STUDY “P r e -medicine” is not a major at John Brown University. At most institutions of higher learning, a curriculum termed “pre-medicine” means simply that a student is meeting requirements for admission to medical school and, therefore, in addition to working toward a baccalaureate degree in some discipline, the student is satisfying these specific requirements. JBU has a Pre-Health Professions Program (PHPP) for students preparing for training in medicine, dentistry, or veterinary medicine, or one of the allied health professions, such as physician’s assistant, physical therapy, occupational therapy, among others. While students in any major may participate in the PHPP, majors in Biology, Biochemistry, or Chemistry provide particularly good preparation for careers in the health professions. All students in the PHPP must fulfill certain requirements in the natural sciences (biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics), communication skills, and courses from the social sciences and humanities, under the guidance of the Health Professions Advisory Committee. More information is available in the Natural Science Division Student Handbook.

CURRICULA IN SOCIAL STUDIES
Two major programs, the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Science in Education, are offered in social studies. The major, which consists of courses from five departments—economics, geography, history, intercultural studies and political science, is chosen by many students who plan to study law or enter theological seminary, and by those who wish to do graduate study in one or more of the areas. Social Studies is also an appropriate choice for prospective secondary teachers, who often need expertise in more than one subject area. The minor in social studies is a frequent choice of students who major in English, Biblical Studies, Business, or Broadcasting.

DEPARTMENT OF INTERCULTURAL STUDIES (S Y M BO L : ICS) Mission Statement The Department of Intercultural Studies prepares students to understand and to function in multicultural settings by analyzing situations and formulating solutions from both social and Christian perspectives.
Objectives The ICS courses and other university courses incorporate knowledge, value, and skill components in the learning process. The following objectives reflect those three components: Co g n i t i o n — T o know theoretical constructs and classification systems. Co n v i c t i o n — T o design a Christian value system for living in culturally diverse settings. Co m p e t e n c e — T o be able to analyze, adapt, serve, and perform tasks in cr o s s -cultural settings and to formulate solutions to problems. The Intercultural Studies program is designed for students focusing on careers in international business, cross-cultural service, missions, community development, and the teaching of English as a second language. The B.A. in Intercultural Studies requires a minor field, and students are encouraged to diversify their academic experience by adding a minor from a ma r k edly contrasting discipline. For example, an ICS major could be well served by the addition of a minor in Leadership and Management from the Division of Business. Similarly, a minor in ICS/ C o m m u n i t y Development would serve as a colorful enhancement to a degree in Environmental Science.

DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY (S Y M BO L : PSY) The Department of Psychology offers courses which are designed to introduce students to the empirical study of behavior. Students are exp o s e d to psychological language, literature, principles, and schools of thought. Consideration is given to the relationship between biblical and psychological truth. This department contributes to the University Core Curriculum and offers a major and a minor. Courses required by the Department serve as important prerequisites for graduate study, but may also be helpful in preparation for service in a variety of church and social work situations. Vocational and educational counseling is available from instructors in the psychology department to aid the student in the transition to graduate study or employment. The psychology graduate typically will not find immediate professional employment upon completion of the bachelors degree; most professions in the field require post-baccalaureate credentials. A graduate degree in psychology offers numerous employment opportunities—teaching, counseling, administration, research, social work, church work, consulting, and testing. Even without graduate study, a psychology degree provides a good foundation for careers in business, church work, welfare work, or other areas where an understanding of the human psyche may be beneficial.

DIVISION OF TEACHER EDUCATION
G. Davis, Gale, Rom i g , Siemens, Van Thiel (chair) (S Y M BO L : ED)
The Division of Teacher Education offers experiences and courses designed to provide professional preparation for students who plan to teach in public or private (including Christian) schools. The Division is committed to preparing competent teachers to work in a multicultural society and with exceptional students. The programs of the Division are approved by the Ar k ansas State Department of Education and are accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), the foremost accrediting agency for teacher education in the United States. Successful completion of a teacher education program at John Brown University prepares the teacher candidates for licensure in the state of Arkan s a s . Teacher candidates who plan to teach in states other than Arkansas should seek to meet the specific requirements of the states where they expect to teach. Licensure officials in the majority of the states automatically grant initial licensure to graduates of NCATE accredited teacher education programs. In addition, most states will grant initial licensure to individuals certified in the state of Arkan s a s . The University’s Teacher Education Program is significantly enhanced through an active partnership of shared decision making with the Siloam Springs Public Schools and the community. The professional development school partnership provides for the simultaneous renewal of both the programs for the preparation of teachers and the K-12 programs of the school district. Beginning in their sophomore year, teacher candidates actively participate in local preschools and in the K-12 classrooms of the school district. They provide valuable assistance to preschool and K-1 2 programs. At the same time, experienced teachers in the schools serve as clinical faculty providing important practical experiences and instruction for the teacher candidates. The Teacher Education Program, in keeping with the overall goals of the Un i v e r s i t y , strives to provide teacher candidates with the following: 1. A firm Christian foundation with respect to their personal, moral, and spiritual development. 2. Desirable values, ideals, and a sense of individual responsibility based upon Christian principles. 3. An appreciation of the opportunities for service in the teaching profession. 191 JOHN BROWN UNIVERSITY
4. An understanding of the role of education in a democratic society. 5. Knowledge and skills necessary to respond to the individual differences of learners. 6. Appropriate skills and techniques for effective teaching. 7. An introduction to the processes of teaching based on professional studies which are integrated with clinical and field based exp e r i e n c e s . 8. A knowledge of the growth and development of youth. 9. An awareness of the social, political, and economic realities that individuals experience in culturally diverse and complex human en c o u n t e r s . 10. A broad general education. 11. One or more academic areas of in-depth study.
PROGRESSION WITHIN THE TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAM Candidates for a teaching license are expected to carefully plan their academic programs beginning in their freshman year and have their plan approved by a Teacher Education adviser. Candidates are required to maintain a portfolio in order to pass through “gates” one, two, three, and four during their preparation program. The following sequence and policies are applicable to all levels and fields of licensure: 1. Admission to courses requiring field experience (“Gate One”). a. Meet minimum JBU admission requirements for ACT / S A T scores. b. Successfully complete designated portfolio requirements. 2. Formal admission to the Teacher Education Program (“Gate Two”). Specific requirements for admission include a. A 2.5 cumulative grade-point average in the courses required for the JBU Bachelor of Science in Education (B.S. E .) program b. Completion of the required English, math, and speech courses with a grade of ‘C/2.0’ or better in each. (Exception: Candidates for the P-4 Program will take an Educational Communication Course in lieu of the speech course later in their program. A grade of ‘C/2.0’ or better must also be attained in this course.) c. Completion of ED 1113 with a grade of ‘C/2.0’ or better. d. PPST (Praxis I) scores which meet the state minimum requirements in reading, writing, and mathematics. (Information and test administration schedules are available from the Teacher Education office. Costs are the teacher candidate’s responsibility.) Candidates whose scores do not meet the JBU PPST (Praxis I) minimums (higher than state) must complete an approved development plan to improve these basic skills. 192 TE A CHER EDUCATI O N
e. Formal approval of the candidate’s portfolio by the Teacher Education Division adviser. 3. Continuation in the Program. The teacher candidate must maintain the 2.5 grade-point standard throughout the program; achieve the JBU PPST (Praxis I) scores or complete the developmental contract; and demonstrate commitment to professional growth. A student failing to maintain these requirements will be placed on divisional probation and must meet the conditions of a growth contract specified by the divisional faculty, or admission will be rescinded. Note: John Brown University teacher candidates wishing to take professional education and major field courses off campus or through correspondence must obtain, in advance, written permission from the Division Chair and from the Registrar. GPA requirements must be met both in the JBU cumulative and in the candidate’s academic career. 4. Internship (“Gate Three”). Internship is normally taken during the teacher candidate’s senior year. Prior to registration for internship, the candidate must meet the following requirements: a. Submission of a formal application must be made by the specified date during the semester prior to the internship semester. (Application forms and dates for submission may be obtained from the Teacher Education office.) b. Completion of specified prerequisites. (See course descriptions for in t e r n s h i p s . ) c. Completion of a minimum of 70% of required major area and content courses (middle and secondary levels). d. A 2.5 or higher cumulative grade-point average. e. A 2.5 or higher cumulative grade-point average in subject area concentrations completed (or specialization requirements for P-4 Early Childhood Education) with a minimum grade of ‘C/2.0’ in each. f. A 2.5 or higher cumulative grade-point average in all Professional Teacher Education courses completed with a minimum grade of ‘C/2.0’ in each. g. The recommendation of the academic adviser(s) (4-8 and 7-12 majors). h. Formal approval of the candidate’s portfolio. i. PRAXIS II Series—All candidates are required to take the Educational Testing Service (ETS) PRAXIS II Series, consisting of a professional and a teaching field test related to each area in which the candidate is seeking to be licensed. The ETS Praxis Series Registration Bulletin is available in the Teacher Education office. The examination is required for licensure and a report of scores must be sent to the Division of Teacher Education and the Arkansas State Department of Education. Costs are the responsibility of the teacher candidate.
193 JOHN BROWN UNIVERSITY
Note: Due to the nature of the internship, teacher candidates are not to be concurrently enrolled for other course work (including correspondence). Ath l e t e s , choir members, etc., should not schedule internship during a semester of participation in a sport or other activity. Any exceptions to the above must be approved, in advance, by the Division of Teacher Education. Because of the importance of internship in the professional preparation of a teacher, exceptions will be rare. 5. Graduation requirements. a. 2.5 cumulative grade-point average (both JBU and academic career). b. 2.5 in specified major area requirements and must have a minimum grade of ‘C/2.0’ in each course. c. 2.5 in professional education and must have a minimum grade of ‘C/2.0’ in each course. 6. Eligibility for a Teaching License (“Gate Fou r” ) a. Satisfaction of all graduation requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Education (B.S. E .) program. b. Recommendation by the Division upon successful completion of an internship experience. c. Approval of the professional portfolio. d. Evidence of meeting the Arkansas qualifying scores on the PR A XIS II Series. Transfer Students The credentials of students transferring from an accredited college or university will be evaluated by the Registrar and an adviser in Tea c h e r Education for appropriate placement in the Teacher Education Program. Students entering with fifty or more hours of transfer credit may enroll in restricted professional education courses, when necessary, during their first semester at JBU. Each situation will be reviewed at the end of that semester to determine if the student is ready for admission. Students transferring from another major within the University, or from another un i v e r s i t y , will be expected to complete all program requirements in effect at the time of the transfer. Candidates must complete all program requirements in effect at the time of transfer (including Gates One through Four requirements). Early Childhood Education (P-4) and Middle School (4-8) licensure candidates must successfully complete at least 12 hours of professional education courses at JBU including the Spring Block semester. Secondary Education licensure candidates must successfully complete at least 12 hours of Professional Education courses at JBU with a minimum of 3 hours of methods in their subject area. Each GPA standard must be met both in the teacher candidate’s work at John Brown University and in the overall accumulation of college credit.

ADULT AND CONTINUING EDUCATION
Ellis (dean), Hill, Hunt, Kel l e y , McCrary, Pen d l e t o n he Office of Adult and Continuing Education provides non-traditional Teducation opportunities for adult students through accelerated degree programs at various sites in central and northwest Arkansas. The vehicle for learning is the innovative Advance Degree Completion Program, which enables working adults with two or more years of college to earn a B.S . degree in less than two years. Most classes meet one evening per week. Working together with faculty from other areas of the University, the Advance Program offers majors in Business Information Systems and Organizational Management. Program requirements are met through traditional college course work, credit by exam, credit for prior learning, successful completion of the specified sequence of modules (courses) in the major field, and completion of a capstone project. The OM curriculum schedule covers three 6-month terms; the BIS modules are scheduled in four 6-month terms. Each student completes all of the modules in the sequential curriculum with a small group of fewer than 25 students. The Advance Program does not follow the traditional University calendar. New groups begin at various times, and classes meet throughout the year without regard to usual University breaks. Each group meets at the same location for its entire program, whether on campus or at one of several sites in and near Fort Smith, Little Rock and Northwest Arkan s a s . Certain policies of Adult and Continuing Education do not coincide with those of the University at large. Where conflicts arise, students in A&CE programs follow the specific regulations established by A&CE. General University policy applies in other areas.

Attendance Requirements Because of the intensive nature of the curriculum and the participatory structure of course work in the Program, it is imperative that students attend every night of class. If absence is unavoidable, students should inform the instructor; makeup assignments and consequences of such absences are determined by the instructor. Missing two sessions of a five- week module, or three sessions of a six-week or seven-week module, will result in a grade of ‘W’ or ‘F’. Eligibility for a ‘W’ is contingent upon withdrawal before the third class meeting.
Transfer of Credit into the Major Some entering students may previously have completed courses which are deemed equivalent to certain Organizational Management modules. Applicability of credit is determined by the dean of Adult and Continuing Education, who may establish a maximum number of outside credits to be transferred, depending upon the type of curriculum and the awarding institution. All courses in the Business Information Systems major must be completed through John Brown University. In accordance with University policy, all students must successfully complete 39 semester hours of John Brown University course work, 32 of which must be in the major. Elective modules or other JBU courses may be necessary.
Incomplete Course Work Students in the Advance Program are allowed to receive an Incomplete (‘I’) grade for a particular module only with the prior approval of the in s t r u c t o r . The remaining work must be completed no later than one month after the original due date according to arrangements made with the in s t r u c t o r . If the student does not complete the work by this deadline, the instructor will assign a grade based on work received, or the grade will convert to ‘F’ automatically by the Registrar.
Dropping an Advance Program Module If a student wishes to drop an Advance Program module (course) during a term, the student must notify the Advance Office before the first class session. The Business Office will credit the student’s account for that module’s tuition. The course will not appear on the transcript. If the student withdraws after the beginning of the first class but prior to the third meeting, the student will receive a ‘W’ for the course. Aft e r this time, the student will not be eligible for a grade of ‘W’; the student will receive the grade earned. Withdrawal from the University or dropping a module may have implications for student financial aid or veterans’ be n e f i t s .
309 JOHN BROWN UNIVERSITY

Credit for Non-Collegiate Sponsored Learning The credit applying toward a degree in Organizational Management or Business Information Systems may include as many as 62 semester hours earned by means of alternative activities, such as credit by exam (30 hours maximum) and credit for prior learning. Credit by Examination. Students may earn credit through selected nationally recognized standardized tests. Such tests include the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), the DANTES Subject Standardized Tes t s (DSST’s) and certain other tests approved by the American Council on Education. A maximum of 30 credit hours may be earned by exa m i n a t i o n . Credit for Prior Learning (CPL). The University recognizes that collegiate- level learning may occur outside the college/university classroom and has established specific procedures and policies for evaluating and granting credits for such learning. CPL may be earned only for documented and currently held learning, and is not granted simply for experience. This learning may have resulted from personal study, travel, work exp e r i e n c e , workshops and seminars, military training, or other professional or vocational experiences. The guidelines recommended by the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning will generally be followed, except where they might conflict with existing policies of the University. Some classroom-based corporate or military learning experiences have been evaluated for college credit equivalency by the American Council on Education (ACE), Program on Noncollegiate Sponsored Instruction (PONSI), or other nationally recognized organizations. In these cases, official transcripts or other direct documentation must be provided. To request credit for other types of prior learning, students are required to complete a Petition for Academic Credit and prepare a portfolio which documents the learning. Such a portfolio typically involves one or more of the following: a. Submission of a Technical and Professional Training (TPT) worksheet which demonstrates learning attained through workshops or other training
310 AD U L T AND CONTINUING EDUCATI O N
experiences that have not been evaluated by ACE , PONSI, or other nationally recognized evaluation organizations. b. A life-learning essay, at least eight pages in length, developed according to the Kolb model and based on experiential learning which may or may not have resulted from formal instruction and is determined to be consonant with the John Brown University curriculum. In the life-learning essay, the student is to demonstrate how the outcomes of the experiential learning are similar to those of a particular course, or are appropriate to be considered as a topic within a particular subject area. Completed materials are submitted to the Coordinator of Prior Learning Assessment who then forwards them to a faculty evaluator in the appropriate discipline. Evaluation of TPT worksheets and life-learning essays is done by the faculty of the University. Faculty evaluators may request additional documentation or restructuring of the student’s petition before awarding credit. CPL based on faculty evaluation (TPTs or life-learning essays) is limited to 16 semester hours total per student. The posting of CPL on a student transcript will be in a category labeled as such. If credit is awarded, a designated course number will be used across the curriculum, with the distinct prefix of a department to indicate the area of learning. The course title will be chosen by the faculty evaluator and the student. Students will be charged a fee for the portfolio evaluation. Payment of the fee in no way guarantees that credit will be awarded.

completed since receiving the bachelor’s degree. The transcripts must be mailed by the college or university directly to the Graduate Studies Office at John Brown University. 4. Submit three letters of recommendation from persons familiar with the ap p l i c a n t ’s character and scholarship. (Recommendation forms are included in the application packet . ) 5. Submit a statement indicating the reasons for desiring admission to graduate school. 6. Satisfy requirements for admission to one of the following categories: Regular Status. Admission to regular status requires a grade point average of 2.7 or higher (4.0 = A) or an overall grade point average of 2.5 but with a 3.0 or higher in the last 60 semester hours earned toward the undergraduate degree. Provisional Status. An applicant who does not meet all the criteria for regular status admission but who has potential for success in a graduate program may be admitted under provisional status. Such an applicant must have an overall grade point average of 2.5 or higher (4.0 = A) or an overall undergraduate grade point average of 2.3, but with a 2.7 or higher for the last 60 semester hours earned toward the undergraduate degree, and the recommendation of the appropriate academic department. Appropriate graduate credit earned while in this status will apply toward fulfilling degree requirements. If the applicant satisfactorily completes the first twelve semester hours with at least a 3.0 cumulative grade point average and receives the recommendation of the program adviser, regular status will be granted; otherwise, the student will be dismissed from the Division of Graduate Studies. No n - degree Status. An applicant qualified for admission in regular status who does not plan to work toward a degree may be admitted to a non-degree status for selected graduate courses. The applicant may not become a degree candidate under this status. Subject to subsequent acceptance into a degree program and provided that the credits are acceptable to the program department, a maximum of nine semester hours may be applied toward a graduate degree. A non- degree student must maintain a 3.0 or higher grade point average. 7. For regular admission status, applicants are expected to have obtained a score of at least 35 on the Miller’s Analogy Test (MAT) or 900 (verbal plus quantitative) on the Aptitude Test of the Graduate Record Exam (GRE).

8. Be admitted to a degree program by the appropriate academic department. (Note: Some academic departments have prerequisite requirements that are unique to specific programs.)
Quality Standards for Continuance in a Graduate Program All graduate students are expected to maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0, and a cumulative average of 3.0 is required for graduation. The grade of “C” is the minimum passing grade for graduate credit; however, no more than nine (9) semester hours of “C” may be applied toward a master’s degree. A grade of “D” received in a graduate- level course may not be applied toward a graduate degree. Graduate students who have completed 12 hours of graduate study may be evaluated each semester by their graduate program committee or the Division of Graduate Studies. Students admitted into regular status who have completed twelve hours of graduate credit will automatically be placed in probationary status if their cumulative graduate grade point average drops below 3.0. (Probation becomes effective at the time that a student’s G.P .A. falls below 3.0, not at the time of notification.) Students will continue in probationary status until the end of the semester in which the next nine hours of graduate course work is completed. At the end of that period, the following actions will be taken: A student whose cumulative grade point average is 3.0 or higher will be ta k en off probation. A student whose cumulative grade point average is still below 3.0 will be dismissed. Students who are dismissed will be so informed by the Division of Graduate Studies. Dismissed students may be readmitted only by pe t i t i o n . A student entering the Division of Graduate Studies in provisional or probationary status will be reviewed by both their program committee and the Division of Graduate Studies following the semester in which the student reaches the level of having completed 12 hours of graduate course wo r k . One of the following actions will be taken with students who have achieved a 3.0 grade point average: Recommended for regular status in the graduate program Retained on a conditional basis until the program faculty are satisfied with the student’s ability to do graduate-level work.
