A COMMUNITY OF SCHOLARS JESUIT EXCELLENCE REAL WORLD READY

The University of Scranton is a community of scholars whose ministry of education is informed by the vision of life contained in both the Gospel and in the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius Loyola. The University is therefore dedicated to freedom of inquiry, the pursuit of wisdom, integrity and truth, and the personal growth and development of all who share in its life and ministry. 6 A Community of Scholars/Jesuit Excellence/Real World Ready

(The cornerstone of Old Main is preserved in the wall of St. Thomas Hall located at the corner of Linden Street and Monroe Avenue.) The college was staffed by diocesan priests and seminarians until 1896 and then, for one year, by the Xaverian Brothers. From 1897 until 1942 the school, which was renamed The University of Scranton in 1938, was administered for the Diocese by the Christian Brothers. In the late summer of 1942, at the invitation of Bishop William Hafey, 18 Jesuits, led by Rev. Coleman Nevils, S.J., the newly appointed president, arrived on campus to administer the University. The Jesuits restructured and strengthened Scranton’s traditional and pre-professional programs with an emphasis on the liberal arts, which are the foundation for every program The University Seal at a Jesuit university.

The University recognizes the integral role that campus life plays in the overall education of a student. Because in so many ways learning does not stop at the classroom door, the University provides a range of activities and support services for leadership development, for reflection, for spiritual and personal enrichment, and simply for fun and recreation. 38 Life on Campus

The program combines service and education. Community service exposes students to many important but often hidden realities in the world (e.g., the enormity and complexity of needs and remedies, and the great gifts that the needy bestow on those who share their world). In addition, volunteers, both in activity and reflection upon activity, learn about themselves. Above even these goals is the obligation, which the schools and the students share, to respond to needs according to resources and other responsibilities.

One GE free elective in the fourth year must then be taken as a humanities elective. 3 If a third math course is required, it replaces this GE elective. 4 Economics majors may apply up to 6 cognate credits toward a Math minor. Students taking the sequence open to Math majors are strongly urged to complete the calculus sequence by taking MATH 222, particularly if they plan on pursuing graduate studies.

Economics majors in the College of Arts and Sciences will apply their elective cognate credits to the following areas (exceptions require the permission of the CAS Dean): Political Science, Psychology, Public Administration, Sociology.

1 Electives for Mathematics majors: Major electives are selected from Mathematics courses numbered above MATH 300; also PHYS 350, PHYS 351, CMPS 362 or CMPS 364. A student must select as an elective at least one of MATH 447 or 449, and at least two of MATH 312, 345, 460, 461. Additional courses numbered under MATH 300 may be taken as free electives but not as major electives. 2 Cognate electives must be used to complete a minor, a concentration, a second major, secondary-education certification, or a package of courses pre-approved by the department.

The results of the placement tests administered during freshman orientation assist students and their advisors in choosing the proper beginning-level mathematics sequence and the proper entry-level within that sequence. If a course is a prerequisite for a second course, directly or indirectly, and a student receives credit for the second course then that student will not be allowed to register for the prerequisite course.
