College of Arts & Sciences DEPARTMENT OF AEROSPACE STUDIES PROFESSOR - Tircuit For information on this department's program, see the "Reserve Officers Training Corps" section of this catalog. DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION SCIENCES AND DISORDERS PROFESSOR EMERITUS - Cullen The undergraduate curriculum is designed to provide majors with a liberal arts education and to prepare them for entry into graduate programs in communication disorders. In the master's program, students are provided with clinical experiences and academic course work. The doctoral program is geared toward the development of scholarship and research skills to prepare students for traditional academic positions, both in the basic sciences of speech, language, and hearing and in clinical aspects of communication disorders. LSU Speech and Hearing Clinic - As part of its training program, which is accredited in speech/language pathology and in audiology, the department maintains a clinic for the diagnosis and treatment of communication disorders. Clinical services are available to any individual, University student, or community member having speech, hearing, or language problems. Services are free to LSU students. Disorders treated include articulation, dysfluency, cleft palate, voice disorders, aphasia, cerebral palsy, children's language disorders, and hearing disorders. Graduate students concentrating in speech pathology or audiology obtain practicum experience in the University clinic and in community clinics with which the University training program is affiliated, such as the Baton Rouge Speech and Hearing Foundation, Baton Rouge General Medical Center, Ochsner Clinic, Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center, Earl K. Long Medical Center, VA Hospitals, public schools, and other sites. Those requesting clinical services should contact the Speech and Hearing Clinic in the Music and Dramatic Arts Building (225/334-5857). CURRICULUM IN COMMUNICATION DISORDERS TOTAL SEM.

DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY AND ANTHROPOLOGY FRED B. KNIFFEN PROFESSOR - Edwards Geography Students majoring in geography may earn either the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree. Students interested in physical geography normally enter the Bachelor of Science program, and those interested in human geography enter the Bachelor of Arts program. All requirements specified by the College of Arts and Sciences for these respective degrees must be fulfilled. Candidates for the bachelor's degree with a major in geography must complete a curriculum of 34 semester hours, consisting of 16 hours of core courses (Geography 1001, 1003, 2050, 2051, 2055, and 3999), nine hours of mapping sciences, and for the Bachelor of Arts nine hours in human geography (six hours systematic and three hours regional) or for the Bachelor of Science nine hours in physical geography. (See the section, "Courses of Instruction.") Students may elect to modify the curriculum to fit specific needs, but this must be done in consultation with the departmental adviser. Special emphases are offered in mapping sciences, cultural and historical geography, economic and urban geography, Latin America, Eastern Asia, coastal and fluvial geomorphology, climatology and hydroclimatology, and biogeography. Students majoring in geography must pay a field service fee of $20 per semester for undergraduates and $25 per semester for graduates. Students not majoring in geography or anthropology who schedule courses requiring field service will be assessed a pro rata part of the transportation costs, as determined by the department chair. Requirements for a minor in geography are one course selected from Geography 1001, 1003, 2062; Geography 2050 and 2051; one course selected from Geography 2039, 4020, 4041, 4043, and 4045; and two additional 4000-level geography courses.

Courses in archaeology, cultural anthropology, folklore, physical anthropology, and anthropological linguistics are available. Through consultation with their departmental counselor, students design a specific program to fit their needs. Because anthropology is a field science, students participate in numerous field trips. To help defray expenses, a field service fee of $20 per semester is charged to undergraduate majors and $25 per semester for graduate majors. Nonmajors participating in field trip courses will be assessed a fee on a pro rata basis. Requirements for a minor in anthropology are Anthropology 1001, 1003, and nine hours to be taken from the following three groups with no more than six hours total from any one group: Group 1 (method and laboratory)—Anthropology 2016, 3401, 4006, 4010, 4020, 4021, 4083, 4090; Group 2 (area)—Anthropology 2050, 3004, 3015, 4003, 4004, 4015, 4016, 4017, 4023, 4050, 4051, 4053, 4470, 4475; and Group 3 (topical)—Anthropology 2015, 2051, 2423, 3060, 4018, 4031, 4040, 4060, 4064, 4074, 4081, 4082, 4085, 4086, 4440.

DEPARTMENT OF SPEECH COMMUNICATION ALUMNI PROFESSOR EMERITA - Hopkins To graduate with a minor in speech communication, a student must complete SPCM 1150 and at least 12 additional hours in departmental courses, of which at least six semester hours must be in courses numbered above 3000. The speech communication program has three areas—communication theory, performance of literature, and rhetoric and public address. Students may choose a program in speech communication which combines all three areas or they may concentrate in one area. Students in speech communication investigate communication processes as they occur within and among individuals, groups, organizations, and societies. They study interpersonal and nonverbal communication, public speaking, rhetorical criticism, history of public address, argumentation and persuasion, organizational communication, performance of literature, political communication, film, group discussion, and other aspects of communication. Analytical and critical thinking skills are developed. Students learn to communicate more effectively and to understand as well as facilitate the communication of others. Careers in law, government, teaching, social service, speech writing, public relations, broadcasting, and advertising all rely on the ability to communicate successfully. Opportunities for extracurricular student participation include debate, discussion, and individual events. Several reading hours, as well as public performances, are presented each semester for those interested in the performance of literature. CURRICULUM IN SPEECH COMMUNICATION TOTAL SEM.
