Dear Kansas College Student,

Thank you for your interest in Wichita State University. I hope you will join other students who have transferred to our campus to major in one of our 150 areas of study.

Wichita State provides remarkable opportunities for students to incorporate their classroom knowledge in actual work settings. The University’s Cooperative Education Program, for example, is among the largest in the nation, and there is a reason – success! Students and employers alike testify extensively and enthusiastically about Co-Op’s benefits.

Located within our area are thousands of employers who conduct business all over the world. They all need educated personnel, and WSU is one of the first places they look. This helps explain the excellent employment record of our graduates.

We all understand the need for an education that sharpens our appreciation for life’s possibilities. I believe Wichita State encourages values leading to a full life, one where learning never ceases.

Respectfully,

Donald L. BeggsPresident

Special Interest GroupsOur “Advantage” also extends to this area. Whatever your special interest, faith or belief system, you’ll find an organized group of like-minded people in Wichita.On-Campus Organizations: We have over 200 student organizations, among them are 27 groups related to specific academic programs, 14 cultural/international groups, several governing or representative groups, 15 social fraternities and sororities, 10 honorary organizations, several recreation/sports clubs, and over a dozen other special interest or community service groups.On-Campus Religious Groups include: Association of Hindu Students in America, Campus Crusade for Christ, Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship, Baha’i Club, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, Latter-Day Saint Student Association, Orthodox Christian Fellowship, SHOCKWAVE, St. Paul Parish/Newman Center, University Lutheran Center and Wichita Young Life. Campus Ministry is sponsored by local churches and is located on the second floor of the Rhatigan Student Center. It provides a place of refuge when you need someone to talk to, where you can ask questions of your faith; a place of safety where you will be encouraged, not judged; a place to meet new people where diversity is celebrated; a place where you will have the opportunity to create and participate in cutting-edge worship.

Being located in the largest city in Kansas — the cultural, educational, health care, financial, and business hub of the state — has many advantages! Wichita State University is in a unique position among universities in the Kansas Regents’ system because it is the only one that is an urban serving, high research, doctoral granting institution. WSU is able to provide its students with the best opportunities for career-related experiences while they are still students! WSU boasts internships, assistantships, the largest cooperative education program in the state, community volunteerism, classroom guest speakers from the community who are experts and practitioners in their fields, and the largest number and diversity of part- and full-time work experiences available including participation in research projects. WSU graduates who have taken advantage of these career-related opportunities will have both a degree and direct experience, giving them the “cutting edge” advantage they need when seeking employment. It’s Wichita State’s Advantage!

WSU Cooperative Education & InternshipsCurrently more than 1,000 students and 500 employers participate on an annual basis in Wichita State's cooperative education and internship program, making this the largest program in the state. Cooperative education and internships allow students to integrate classroom learning with work-based learning in their field(s) of study. Students receive an hourly wage and academic credit while working in a real-life situation. The combination of academic study and practical experience is a superior method of education which gives students a powerful advantage when they graduate.

WSU West and South CampusesIn addition to the main campus at 17th & Hillside, WSU has two convenient satelite campuses. The West Campus is located in Maize, Kansas, near 37th Street North and Maize Road, at 3801 N. Walker Avenue: (316) 978-6777 or www.wichita.edu/west. The South Campus is located off K-15 in the heart of Derby at 200 W. Greenway Boulevard in the Towne Center shopping center: (316) 978-8000 or www.wichita.edu/south.

Electronic WSU Bookstore services are available with on-site delivery and access to WSU Library electronic check out and drop box returns.

In addition, short-term computer workshops, graduate level education workshops and social work classes are available. The WSU West Campus is home to WSU Complete, the adult degree completion program. For information about this program by phone: (316) 978-8325 or email: [email protected]. Students at WSU South have access to the same facilities, amenities, and student services as students at the WSU Main and West campuses. The South Campus offers a variety of general education courses as well as special programs including the Accelerated Nursing Program and Preparing Educators Together (P.E.T).

Graduation RatePursuant to Pub. L. 102-26, Wichita State University does hereby disclose that the graduation rate of degree-seeking first-time full-time freshmen for the reporting cycle beginning Fall 2005 and ending June 30, 2011, (six years) was 43.4 percent.

Wichita State’s Advantage

“Transferring from the small community the thought of attending a 4 year university was a really scary thing. But in the spring when I had to make a decision on where I wanted to finish my education there was no doubt in my mind that Wichita State was the right choice for me. Every faculty and staff I came into contact with made my transition easier. People on WSU's campus have so much spirit and they encouraged me to become involved. Wichita State University has so many different opportunities that I truly believe every student can find the right combination that fits them as an individual. I am totally and completely proud to say that I am a Shocker!" Lauren Bell Coffeyville Community College

Elementary Education Major

“Coming from a small campus I was leery about making the transition to WSU. However, after my campus visit, I was ready to make my decision to become a WSU Shocker. The campus had a welcoming atmosphere, helpful admissions staff, and a multitude of friendly faces. I was able to transfer all my credits, apply for scholarships, and meet with specific advisors for my major. Perhaps the most encouraging quality about WSU was that the admissions staff and advisors kept in touch with me throughout the process to help make my experience the best possible. I was confident WSU had many beneficial opportunities to offer for my future!” Angela Kessen

General Education Requirement OptionsTransfer students who have completed 24 or more hours of approved college curricula at an accredited U.S. post-secondary institution since their high school graduation date, before starting classes at WSU as a degree bound student, will have the option of following either the Kansas Board of Regents (KBOR) Transfer and Articulation General Education policy (A), OR the WSU General Education Program requirements (B).

A. The Kansas Board of Regents (KBOR) Transfer and Articulation Policy (2007) indicates that to satisfy “the general education requirements for the bachelor degree of all Kansas public universities, a minimum of 45 credit hours of general education with distribution in the following fi elds will be required.”

12 hours of Basic Skills courses, including: 6 hours of English Composition 3 hours of Public Speaking or Speech Communication 3 hours of college level Mathematics (Algebra) 12 hours of Humanities courses from at least 3 of the following disciplines: Art History Music (not performance courses) Communication Dance, Theatre (not performance courses) History English or Literature Philosophy Modern Languages (3rd semester or above) Women’s Studies Religion 12 hours of Social and Behavioral Science courses from at least 3 of the following disciplines: Anthropology Ethnic Studies Psychology Criminal Justice Geography Sociology Economics Political Science Social Work 9 hours of Mathematics, Natural/Physical Science courses from at least two disciplines: Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Physics, Mathematics (1 science course must include a lab)

B. The WSU General Education program requires 42 credit Hours: • The same Basic Skills courses as above • One Fine Arts Introductory course (not performance courses) • Humanities: two Introductory courses in two different disciplines • Social and Behavioral Sciences: two Introductory courses in two different disciplines and one Further Study course • Mathematics & Natural Sciences: Same as KBOR, except some programs do not require a lab science

The details: 1. While completion of an AA or AS degree does not guarantee that either WSU or KBOR General Education requirements have been met,

planning and active participation in our dual-advising program during those two years can assure that. 2. General Education courses are: WSU courses that are on the approved list –see the WSU Catalog; and those transfer courses identifi ed in

WSU’s data base as meeting WSU General Education guidelines. Gen Ed transfer courses by Kansas institution can be accessed online at www.wichita.edu:

Click on “Browse A-Z”, then on “G”, then on “General Education Transfer Courses.” 3. No course in the student’s primary major department may be used to satisfy a General Education requirement. 4. How a course transfers – the WSU equivalency - determines its division (Humanities, Social & Behavioral Sciences, etc.), not the subject

area or division at the sending institution. 5. Completion of the University General Education requirements does not mean that specifi c College course requirements have been met, even

though those courses at WSU might also be Gen Ed courses.

COLLEGE REQUIREMENTS: Specifi c General Education courses may be required by individual colleges or programs. Academic advising is an important part of a student's undergraduate experience. Students should meet with an adviser in the college of their major before registering for classes each semester. These advisers will help students understand the undergraduate experience at WSU and assist in selecting classes that meet the students' needs and the requirements for the degree and major.

The Barton School of Business has the widest variety of business programs in the state

offering ten baccalaureate degree programs with four additional areas of emphasis in real estate**. Degree programs are: accounting, business administration, economics**, entrepreneurship**, finance**, human resource management, international business, management, management information systems and marketing**. We’re accredited in both business and accounting by AACSB Inter national – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, a distinction held by only 2 percent of the world’s business schools. That means our faculty and curriculum meet national and international standards, and employers across the country have confidence in your career preparation.

STUDY WITH THE BEST: Face it. Every college has an accounting program. But not every college has Bill Jarnagin. He’s an award-winning teacher, he’s written numerous books and articles, and he’s the Allen, Gibbs & Houlik Faculty Fellow in Accountancy. Every year you see which airlines are rated the best on radio, national television, and in newspapers. Our very own Dean Headley, associate professor of marketing, heads the team that issues those airline quality ratings. Take a class with Don Hackett and you’ll learn the ins and outs of business. Hackett teaches marketing and entrepreneurship and he backs up his teaching with experience in corporate board rooms across the nation. Barton school faculty work in and with busi-

ness, industry, and government. This experience enriches their classroom presentations.

WE BANK ON YOU: We have confidence in your success and we show it through our scholarship program. Annually we commit over a quarter million dollars to students in all areas of business. We hope this assistance gives you more time to learn in the classroom and perform well in your classes.

OUR ADVANTAGE When you choose to attend Kansas' only urban serving research institution and the Barton School of Business, you will have the opportunity to participate in the University’s Cooperative Education program and obtain invaluable work experience in your major field of study. Most majors allow 3 credit hours of cooperative education credit to be applied directly to the major requirements. During the past academic year 147 business students were placed in co-op positions, working with 103 employers. Business students recorded nearly 68,448 student hours in the field, with an average wage of $12.91 per hour.

A liberal arts and sciences degree positions you for success across many fields of study, both today and in the future.

FAIRMOUNT COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES

WHY STUDY THE LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES?

Because your life will be enriched in unimaginable ways. Instead of being

a passive observer, you’ll become a knowledgeable, active eyewitness able to develop informed opinions and sound decisions based on reason and fact. Through independent thought and analysis, you’ll know how and why a social or political issue will affect you. As you watch a theatrical performance, you’ll understand the historical context of the play, the physics of the sound and lighting, and elements of the human experience.

Students who complete degrees in the liberal arts and sciences develop valuable skills applicable to any profession. By the time you graduate, you will possess proficiency in oral and written communication; analytical thinking and problem solving; interpersonal relationships; global understanding; and the ability to think logically and intelligently about social and moral issues.

Fairmount College of Liberal Arts and Sciences offers undergraduate majors in natural sciences and mathematics, social sciences, humanities, and programs of professional training. An education in these disciplines will help you develop critical thinking skills, knowledge, and appreciation of science, the arts, and different cultures. You’ll also have an awareness of civic responsibilities—as well as professional preparation.

Fairmount College serves as “home” for the General Education Program at Wichita State University. These courses, as well as additional department offerings presented in an environment stimulated by research and practical experience, provide students with skills that are intrinsically valuable and fundamental to professional training and the needs of the workplace.

STUDY WITH THE BEST: Fairmount College is composed of an

outstanding and diverse faculty. No matter what area you choose to study, you’ll find an expert here.

Further MATH Information:If further math is needed for major, continue with Trigonometry (MA 107) and Calculus I(MA 111) OR begin at calculus level if qualified.

COURSES TO BEGIN LAS MAJORS:

In the first two years of college, your program may include one or two courses that begin the major. Students transferring 48 or more hours to LAS must declare a specific LAS major or degree preference during the first semester of enrollment. The best initial courses for LAS majors are listed below by type:

Anthropology (BA) Use SO 111. Remainder of major at WSU.

Biology (BA or BS) Start CH 110/111 early. May use BI 104/105.

Chemistry (BA or BS) Use CH 110/111. Will need Calculus III (MA 201) for degree and calculus-based Physics (PY 201/202).

Communication (BA) Take all COMM major courses at WSU.

Criminal Justice (BS) Use LE 101 and 201.

English (BA) Two courses from EN 202-205. Creative Writing (EN 128) if interested.

Forensic Science (BS) Begin CH 110/111 plus 201/202, BI 104/105 and 103, and PS 100.

Geology (BA or BS) Begin calculus sequence and CH 110/111. PY 103 & 104 begin major.

History (BA) Select any two classes to begin major.

Mathematics (BA or BS) Calculus sequence (MA 111, 113 and 201).

Social Work (BA) Use SO 122 and 123. PS 100 and SO 100 required. Complete major at WSU.

Sociology (BA) SO 100 plus 101. Remainder at WSU.

Women’s Studies (BA) Complete major courses at WSU.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS:• 124 credit hours minimum* is required for Bachelor of Arts (BA) Bachelor of Science (BS) Bachelor of General Studies (BGS)

(Graduation Requirements continued in next column)

• 60 hrs minimum* must be completed at a 4-year institution.

*Note: Students who transfer more than 64 hours from a 2 year institution must still complete 60 hours at a 4 year institution.

Therefore, the transferred hours plus the 60 hours required at a 4 year institution will exceed the 124 hour minimum required for graduation from WSU. In addition some degrees at WSU already require more than a 124 hour minimum.

• 45 hours of upper division coursework (300 level and above) at a 4-year institution.

Note: Credit from a 2-year institution cannot be used to satisfy this requirement, regardless of the transfer equivalency number.

• Students must maintain a 2.0 GPA in both the overall hours and in the hours taken only at WSU to remain in good academic standing. Some majors and minors require a GPA above 2.0. Consult your academic advisor for details.

• 30 hours minimum must be completed at WSU to earn a degree from WSU.

• 24 of the last 30 or 50 of the last 60 hours must be completed at WSU to earn a degree from WSU.

• BGS degree: no more than 30 hours from one department, no more than 60 hours in one division, no more than 30 hours outside LAS will count toward graduation.

• BA degree: no more than 45 hours in the major will count toward graduation.

• BS degree: no more than 50 hours in the major will count toward graduation.

Study Skills VideotapesLocated in the Reserve Room of Ablah Library, the study skills videotapes offer information on such skills as time man-agement, text reading, note taking, studying for and taking tests, critical thinking, and dealing with math anxiety.

Repeat PolicyFor: Potentially anyone. Summary: Beginning Fall 1994, if you take a course over (repeat it) at WSU, the new grade “replaces” all previous grades received in that course (at WSU or elsewhere) in the computation of your GPA. Caution: While the presumption is that you will get a better grade the second or third time around, should you get a WORSE grade, it still replaces the previous grade. This can only be used for five (5) different courses during your academic career, and each one can be attempted only three (3) times.

For further information: see page 37 of the WSU Undergraduate Catalog.

Withdrawal/Drop PolicyWhen you drop a class in the first week of the 16 week semester (or equivalent period for shorter courses), it does not appear on your permanent academic record. Drop a class the second through the tenth weeks and a “W” grade appears on your record with no impact on your grade point average. The last day of the tenth week is the last day to drop a 16-week course. A “W” grade indicates that you were enrolled in the course and officially withdrew.
