Electives In every curriculum there are certain courses required of students by their major department and college. In addition, a student is allowed a certain number of free choices to complete the 128 credits required for a bachelor’s degree or the 64 credits approved for an associate degree. Such free choices are called electives and may be taken in any field in the School of Business, Public Administration and Information Sciences and in any field other than the major in all other schools, provided that the student possesses the necessary qualifications and has completed the prerequisite courses.
Related Curricular Matters
Numbering of Courses Every course in the curriculum is identified by a number below 100 if it is introductory, above 100 if it is advanced, and above 500 if it is on the graduate level.
Exemptions A student may be exempted from a basic course and allowed to go into intermediate or advanced work if the chair, the division director or the dean concerned has examined the student to determine that he or she has an adequate knowledge of the work covered. The dean must then inform the registrar. Such notice must be presented in writing at the time such a decision is made. If the student intends to take no further work in the subject, the chair may also exempt the student from a basic course after a written examination. No credit may be given for courses from which a student has been exempted.

SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
LIU Brooklyn's School of Education prepares teachers, counselors, administrators and school psychologists for the challenges and the rewards of working in urban settings. Through rigorous and stimulating programs of study, students have the opportunity to work in urban schools and in a broad range of educational and/or mental health settings to: develop an inquiry stance toward practice; integrate theory and practice; and achieve high standards of practice. Graduates of our programs acquire the experiential knowledge that is essential for interacting with and guiding children and families in urban communities. All specialties, undergraduate and graduate, within the Teacher Education Program are accredited by the Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC). Our programs are designed to ensure that our graduates keep pace with changes and innovations in their chosen fields. The School’s KEEPS Mission, its urban location and its nationally recognized faculty, make it an exciting place to study! Structures Within the School of Education The School of Education comprises two departments: Teaching, Learning and Leadership (TLL) and Counseling and School Psychology (CSP) departments. These departments provide educational opportunities leading to rewarding careers serving urban youth and families. TLL offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in multiple teacher certification areas and educational leadership. CSP offers graduate programs in school counseling, mental health counseling, marriage and family therapy, and school psychology, and applied behavior analysis. Our professors are experts in these fields, with a range of experience that enables them to bring best practices into the classroom. All programs incorporate fieldwork throughout the curriculum and draw upon long-term relationships with schools and organizations in New York City that offer placements that are well suited to students' needs and interests. Please consult the sections below describing in detail each department and its offerings. For information, please contact the Dean’s Office at 718-488-1055, fax 718-488-3472, or visit the website at www.liu.edu/brooklyn/soe.

SCHOOL OF HEALTH PROFESSIONS
The School of Health Professions at LIU Brooklyn is dedicated to providing superior quality education in the health professions to a diverse student body. With strong ties to the community and to many health care facilities that support educational efforts as well as research, our programs address clinical health care, community-based health and social issues. The school prepares students for careers in the areas of respiratory care; diagnostic medical sonography; physician assistant; occupational therapy; athletic training, health and exercise science (including sport management and exercise physiology); physical therapy; social work; and public health. The programs also introduce students to interprofessional practice. Our programs span the undergraduate, graduate and doctoral levels, and lead to careers in growing professions that offer a wealth of career opportunities. Graduates of our programs are in high demand in the current health care job market, and this level of demand will continue for many years to come. The School of Health Professions’ faculty members are renowned experts in their fields and have vast experience in their respective areas of specialization, which contributes to their exceptional teaching abilities. Many faculty members are engaged in clinical practice and research, which greatly contributes to the learning experience of their students and to their own professional growth. The School of Health Professions integrates liberal arts education with advanced sciences and health- oriented curricula. On the undergraduate level, it offers the Bachelor of Science degree in health science, respiratory care, diagnostic medical sonography and sports sciences, as well as the B.A. in Social Work. It also offers combined B.S./M.S. degrees in athletic training, and occupational therapy, and a B.S. Health Science/Master Public Health. A B.S. in Health Science/DPT is also offered.

Criminal Background Checks and Drug Testing
Many clinical/field experience affiliates, i.e., hospitals and clinics now require the completion of criminal background checks and/or drug testing for employees, volunteers and students affiliated with the site. Therefore, School of Health Professions students who plan to participate in a clinical/field experience may be asked to undergo a criminal background check, and/or a drug screen. A criminal conviction and/or the use of illegal drugs may impede or bar your entry into your chosen field of study. Students desiring entrance into the School of Health Professions should be aware that our clinical/field affiliates have the right to reject or remove a student from the site if a criminal record is discovered or if a drug test is positive. In the event that a student is rejected from a clinical/field site due to information contained in the criminal background check, or drug screen, you may be unable to complete a required clinical/field experience. If you are unable to complete program requirements, you may be advised to withdraw from the program. In addition, School of Health Professions students should be aware that the presence of a criminal record could result in the refusal of the licensing/ certification/registration agencies (NBRC and or state licensing board) to issue the credential or license to practice. Prospective students are strongly encouraged to contact pertinent state licensing board to inquire whether a criminal record, including driving offenses would preclude the individual from eligibility to obtain a license/certification.

SCHOOL OF NURSING
The School of Nursing is dedicated to educating its students to become nurses who provide the highest quality of nursing care to a diverse and complex population in challenging and ever-changing social, political and economic environments across the country and around the globe. The school offers an undergraduate baccalaureate program for students with no nursing background (generic track) as well as an R.N.-B.S. program for nurses who do not hold a B.S. degree. Flexible undergraduate tracks are offered for students in the generic program. The part-time/evening track is specially designed for those students who work during the day. The 15-month accelerated track is offered to those students who hold a baccalaureate degree in another discipline. An accelerated RN-BS/MS degree program (Bachelor of Science/Master of Science) is offered in the nurse practitioner track. The School of Nursing admits students on a “rolling” basis and most courses are offered each semester. The undergraduate program is fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (C.C.N.E.) and all of its programs are registered with the New York State Education Department. Graduates of the B.S./M.S.Nursing/Adult Nurse Practitioner Program are eligible for New York State certification as an adult nurse practitioner. For information, please contact the School of Nursing at 718-488-1059, fax 718-780-4019, email us at [email protected], or visit the website at www.liu.edu/brooklyn/son.
