Information for Prospective Students

History of the College

Millsaps College was founded in 1890 by the Methodist Church as a "Christian college for young men." The philanthropy of
Major Reuben Webster Millsaps and other Methodist leaders in Mississippi enabled the College to open two years later on
the outskirts of Jackson, the state capital, a town of some 9,000 population. The beginnings were modest: two buildings, 149
students (two-thirds of whom were enrolled in a preparatory school), five instructors, and an endowment of $70,432. Fifty
years later, the student body numbered 599 and the faculty had increased to 33. Women were admitted at an early date and
the graduation of Sing Ung Zung of Soochow, China, in 1908, began a tradition of the College's influence outside the state.

By the time of its centennial celebration in 1990, enrollment at Millsaps had more than doubled with approximately one-half
of the students coming from out of state. The quality of the liberal arts program was nationally recognized with the award of
a Phi Beta Kappa chapter in 1988. A graduate program in business administration, begun in 1979, received national
accreditation along with the undergraduate business program in 1990.

Millsaps' first president, William Belton Murrah, served until 1910. Other presidents were David Carlisle Hull (1910-1912)
Dr. Alexander Farrar Watkins (1912-1923), Dr. David Martin Key (1923-1938), Dr. Marion Lofton Smith (1938-1952), Dr.'
Homer Ellis Finger, Jr. (1952-1964), Dr. Benjamin Barnes Graves (1965-1970), Dr. Edward McDaniel Collins, Jr. (1970-
1978) and Dr. George Marion Hannon (1978-2000). Dr. Frances Lucas-Tauchar was named president in July of 2000. !

General Information

The close personal relationship among students, faculty and the administration is one of the most vital parts of the Millsaps
experience. A liberal arts college designed to train students for responsible citizenship and well-balanced lives, Millsaps
offers professional and pre-professional training coupled with cultural and disciplinary studies. Students are selected on the

basis of their ability to tliink, desire to learn, good moral character and intellectual maturity. The primary consideration for
admission is the ability to do academic work satisfactory to the College and beneficial to the student.

Millsaps' 1,400-member student body represents about 35 states and several foreign countries. Students come from 25
religious denominations. All are urged to take advantage of the educational and cultural offerings of Mississippi's capital city
of Jackson.

Research facilities available to students include the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, the State Law Library,
the Jackson/Hinds Library System, the Rowland Medical Library and a number of other special libraries unique to the capitol
area. Together, they provide research facilities found nowhere else in the state. Cultural advantages include the Mississippi
Symphony Orchestra, New Stage Theatre, Mississippi Opera Association, and musical, dramatic, and sporting events held at
the City Auditorium and the Mississippi Coliseum.

Lane, Decatur, Georgia .30033-4097; telephone number 404-679-4501) to award the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of
Business Administration, Bachelor of Science, Master of Accountancy, and Master of Business Administration. The College

introduce them to their classmates. Perspectives is a course for new students which explores the issues facing college students
and the roles that they play on campus. This course, led by faculty, staff and upper-class students, gives new students a forum
for discussion of key issues and concerns.

Counseling Services

Since counseling is a wonderful opportunity for personal growth, a wide array of counseling services are offered through

skills techniques such as time management, note taking, problem-solving, and test-taking. Help is also available for students

college, and planning for "life after graduation". Career services include; career/major exploration, internships, graduate
school advisement and preparation, student employment, and job placement assistance.

Students who are undecided regarding their major and/or career can attend the annual "Meet Your Major Fair," This event

individual appointments are also available with the Career Services staff. Other options include a computerized career-
planning program for individuals seeking a more comprehensive search that matches their interests, talents, and values with
potential careers.

professional experience. Student interns can earn academic credit on a credit/no credit basis. Students can participate in an
internship as early as the second semester of their freshmen year and Euiy subsequent fall, spring or summer semesters.
Information sessions are held throughout the year to prepare students interested in obtaining an internship. A wide variety of
internships are offered both locally and nationally in the areas of education, the arts, government, health care, nonprofit,
business, industry, and finance. New internship positions may also be developed witli the assistance of the Career Services

Resident Living

Student housing is an important service rendered by any college. However, Millsaps places a great deal of emphasis on the
learning process that lakes place within the residence halls. The residential life program is administered by a team of
professionals including the Director of Residence Life, two Assistant Directors of Residence Life, and a team of more than
35 Resident Assistants.

Housing assignments for new students are made by the Residence Life professional staff that can be found in the Division of
Student Affairs. They assist students in determining their living situations by taking into account roommate choice, and
several other factors. Questions regarding the assignment process should be addressed to the Director of Residence Life.
Millsaps is a residential college based upon the belief that a significant amount of learning and growth takes place outside the
classroom. As such, a residency requirement has been established. All students classified, by credit units, as freshmen or
sophomores are required to live in college residence halls. Exceptions to this policy may be granted if the student is married
or lives with his or her immediate family in Jackson or vicinity. Freshmen and sophomore students are not allowed to live in
the fraternity house during the academic year.

Residence hall rooms are designed to house two students each. Students should send the completed housing forms and
housing deposit by the designated date. Students wishing to room together should .specify their desire to room together on
their housing request. Room rent for new students cannot be refunded after the semester begins.

Assignments for upper-class students are made in the spring. The process is arranged with Residence Life. Students should
contact the RA for more information.

Current students who have become academically ineligible and who have not been readmitted on petition by June 1 will be
refunded the room deposit These students, if readmitted at a later date, must pay the room deposit and will be put on a
waiting list for room assignments.

Residence halls will be closed for Thanksgiving, winter and spring breaks. Dates and times of hall closings and openings are

and place of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height
of members of athletic teams, photograph, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, the most recent
previous educational institution attended by the student, and infonnation needed for honors and awards. Students
who do not wish such information released without their consent should notify the Office of Records in writing prior
to the end of the first day of classes;

(d) disciplinary proceedings of violent crimes or non-forcible sex offenses may be disclosed to the victims of the

crime regardless of the outcome of the proceedings. They may also be disclosed to anyone where the accused was
found to have violated the college's rules or policies;

(e) to a court if a parent or student has initiated legal action against the college or if the college has begun a legal
action against a parent of student.

If students would like their parents to have access to their records, they must give written consent in the appropriate office:
for academic records, the Office of Records; for financial records, the Business Office; for disciplinary records, the Office of
Student Affairs. This con.sent must be renewed at the beginning of each academic year.

Student Life
Campus Ministry

Religious life at Millsaps centers around the churches, synagogues and other faith communities of the city of Jackson and the
campus ministry program coordinated through the Campus Ministry Team and the Office of the Chaplain. Churches provide
communities of faith for students, faculty and staff. The campus ministry program attempts to provide experiences which
explore the meaning of a life of faith for a college community.

To accomplish this, a varied program is offered: sponsorship of special programs on ihe Millsaps Forum Series on social,
religious and personal issues; field trips to various places, including the New York Semmar; faculty-student-staff programs
addressing issues on campus and in the larger society; fellowship experiences; Bible studies; mentoring programs in
neighboring schools; projects in the community working with disadvantaged populations; chapel and special services such as
All Saints Day, Advent, Ash Wednesday and Maundy Thursday Services; emphases on such issues as AIDS; and many
others. In addition, the campus chapter of Habitat for Humanity is very active and the Midtown Project involves a large
number of volunteers in a city-wide effort to rehabilitate this historic area of the city which has suffered greatly fi-om drugs,
violence and deteriorating housing. All of these experiences are meant to communicate an active understanding of the life of
faith as it addresses crucial social needs. The campus ministry program at Millsaps has attracted national attention for its
variety and effectiveness.

In addition to the Campus Ministry Team, other programs operating on campus include Catholic Campus Ministry,
Fellowship of Christian Athletes, the Wesley Fellowship, Baptist Student Union, Millsaps Christian Fellowship, Orthodox
Fellowship and Habitat for Humanity (Ihe first campus chapter in Mississippi) In addition, the Episcopal Eucharist is
celebrated each week on campus. All campus ministry is strongly ecumenical. In addition, the college is fortunate to have the
services of a member of the Order of the Living Word, who works with the Catholic Campus Ministry. Persons fi"om local
congregations work with other campus ministry groups and serve as resource persons for campus programming.

The Office of the Chaplain serves as a liaison with churches, with The Mississippi Conference of the United Methodist
Church, and with other denominations. Furthermore, a working relationship has been established with many community
projects and agencies as vehicles for student involvement.

Public Events

The Public Events Committee receives funds from the student government and the College to sponsor programs of general
interest to the campus and community. Its major activity is the Millsaps Forum Series - a continuing slate of speakers during
the academic year. The objective of the series is to provide information and stimulate interest in current issues, to explore
historical events, and to present differing perspectives on controversial subjects. Faculty members, local authorities and
national experts are invited to present their thoughts on a variety of literary, cultural, scientific, political, religious and
historical topics.

In addition to the Forum Series, the Public Events Committee sponsors special events throughout the academic year. It
provides funds to student organizations and academic departments interested in organizing programs open to the entire
campus. These include films, guest speakers, and music recitals.

All of these activities have to do with the true aim of liberal education: the liberation of the mind to grasp the world of nature
and of human experience and action in all its richness and complexity, and to respond with awareness, sensitivity, concern,
and mature judgment.

Athletics

The Athletic policy of Millsaps College is based on the premise that athletics exist for the benefit of the students and not
primarily to enhance the prestige and publicity of the College.

Competitive sports conducted in an atmosphere of good sportsmanship and fair play can make a significant contribution to
the complete physical, emotional, moral, and mental development of the well-rounded individual. They are thus an integral
part of a program of liberal education. An attempt is made to provide a sports-for-all program and to encourage as many
students as possible to participate. Equity in Athletics Disclosure Form is available for review in the Office of Student Affairs
as well as the Athletic Office.

Intercollegiate Athletics

There are 14 varsity sports, seven for men and seven for women. The program for men includes football, basketball, baseball,

cross-country, tennis, golf and soccer. The women's program includes basketball, tennis, soccer, cross-country, volleyball and
golf.

The programs are conducted on guidelines established by the National Collegiate Athletic Association for Division III
institutions and the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference,

Those who participate in intercollegiate athletics are required to observe and maintain the same academic standards as other
students.

Campus Recreation

The largest and most popular aspect of campus recreation at Millsaps is the intramural program. Intramurals have provided
competition, exercise and recreation for men and women at Millsaps for many years. Activities include volleyball, tennis,
soccer, basketball golf, tlag football, frisbee golf and Softball.

Sport clubs continue to grow in popularity. These organizations are organized by faculty, staff and students with a common
interest. Recent active clubs include cycling, dance, water skiing, indoor soccer and karate.

The popularity of fitness has brought aerobics to campus. A variety of aerobics classes are offered in the new fitness building

and a weight lifting room is also available for all students, faculty and staff.

Publications
The Purple and White, the official student newspaper of the College, is edited, managed, and written by students. The P &

Singers to San Antonio, Washington, D.C., Chicago, St. Louis, and Orlando. During the summer of 1998 the choir
toured Germany, the Czech Republic, and Austria. Academic credit is awarded following the second semester of

considered, well-reasoned decisions; and to make a mature assessment of one's own abilities, beliefs and values.

Multi-Disciplinary Topics Courses Core 2-5

Multi-disciplinary topics courses (core 2-5) use a thematic rather than survey approach. They take their focus from a
particular field of knowledge - fine arts, history, literature, philosophy, or religion - but make explicit connections with
other fields of knowledge. In this way students are encouraged to view human experience as a whole and to begin the process
of making their own connections. Although a particular theme is chosen for each topic course, the themes are placed in their
appropriate historical and global contexts and presented in such a way as to illustrate the process of historical change All
multi-disciplinary topic courses include a substantial amount of writing, with an emphasis on analysis and critical thinking.

Students should choose their topics courses in chronological sequence, beginnint; with the ancient world in the fall of their
first year and proceeding to the contemporary world in the spring of their second year. Each topic course has either a primary
or double disciplinary focus. Students must choose courses to meet this requirement which represent at least three different
disciplinary focuses.

disciplinary topic courses. It fulfills the requirements for core 2-5 and fine arts.

Topic Courses Core 6-9

Topics courses in the social and behavioral sciences, natural sciences, mathematics and computer science (core 6-9) may be
multi-disciplinary, but need not be. Courses meeting these requirements are designed to foster general abilities such as
reasoning, quantitative thinking, valuing and decision making. They also include writing. Laboratory science courses
introduce students to scientific method and to a representative body of scientific knowledge in a way that promotes an
appreciation for the impact of science upon the contemporary world.

Fine Arts

In addition to completing the requisite core courses, students must demonstrate proficiency in the fine arts in one of the
following ways;

proficiency through this portfolio is a graduation requirement. If a student's writing is not found to be proficient, a student
may be required to complete additional writing coursework, writing workshops, or writing tutorials. Traditional students who
have not completed the Writing Proficiency Portfolio by their junior year will not be permitted to register for classes until the
requisite papers have been submitted for assessment. Transfer and Adult Degree Program students must also submit seven

Students must fulfill the requirements for an Accounting major or a Business Administration major.

Majors: A major at Millsaps is a specialized course of study required of all students, offering the opportunity to focus in
depth on a particular discipline. It usually consists of 32 to 48 hours of coursework specified by a particular department, in
addition to the prescribed work lor the degree. A student must major in one of the following areas: Accounting, Art, Business
Administration, Biology, Chemistry, Classical Studies, Computer Science, Economics, Education, English, European
Studies, French, Geology, German, History, Mathematics, Music, Philosophy, Physics, Political Science, Psychology,
Religious Studies, Sociology-Anthropology, Spanish, or Theatre.

Majors in accounting and business administration are only available with the BBA degree. The European Studies major is
only available with the BA degree. All other majors are available with the BA or BS degree.

Specific requirements for the major can be found under the appropriate department of instruction. Students may major in a
subject only with the consent of the department chair. They are expected to declare a major by the end of the sophomore year.
All work to be applied toward the major must be approved in advance by the department chair.

A student may have more than one major by completing all of the requirements in the departments involved.

Minors: While there is no requirement that students complete a minor as part of their degree, they may elect a minor in those
departments which offer one.

A student must have a minimum of 16 semester hours in a department in order to quality for a minor. A minimum of 8
semester hours applied toward the minor must be taken at Millsaps. Specific requirements for a particular minor can be found
under the appropriate department of instruction.

Areas of Concentration: In addition to the major and minor, a student may have an area of concentration within a particular
discipline or among several disciplines. Areas of concentration within the major are not entered on the student transcript,
hiterdisciplinary concentrations are treated like a minor and are entered on the transcript.

Double Counting

Courses taken to satisfy core requirements may also be used to satisfy either major requirements or additional degree
requirements, but not both. Departments, however, may restrict the number of core courses that will count toward the major.
Students should check with the chair of each department.

Comprehensive Examinations

Before receiving a bachelor's degree the student must pass a satisfactory comprehensive examination in the major field of
study. This examination is given in the senior year and is intended to cover subject matter greater in scope than a single
course or series of courses. The purpo.se of the comprehensive e.xamination is to coordinate the class work with independent
reading and thinking in such a way as to relate the knowledge acquired and give the student a general understanding of the
field which could not be acquired From individual courses.

The comprehensive examination requires at least three hours and is part written and part oral, the division of time between
the two to be at the discretion of the members of the department concerned. The oral examination will be conducted by a
committee composed of members of the department, and, if desired by the department, one or more members of the faculty
from other departments or other qualified persons. The oral exam will ordinarily be given before December 1st in the fall
semester and within the time period specified by the college in the spring semester. The written portion of the exam usually
precedes the oral exam.

Students may take the comprehensive examination only if the courses in which they have credit and in which they are
currently enrolled are those which fulfill the requirements in their major department. They may take the examination in the
spring semester if they are within one semester of graduation. The exainination may be given in the fall semester for students
who meet the other requirements and who will not be in residence at Millsaps during the spring semester or who are pursuing
a double major.

The time of the comprehensive examination in the spring semester is published in the college calendar. Comprehensive
examinations will not be given at any other time except by permission of the dean. Those who fail a comprehensive
examination may have an opportunity to take another examination after the lapse of two months. Additional examinations
may be taken at the discretion of the chairman of the student's major department with the consent of the dean of the college.

Grade Point Index Required

An overall grade point index of 2.00 is required for graduation. Transfer students must have a minimum grade point index of
2.00 on their Millsaps work The grade point index is calculated on the total number of courses attempted, including courses
repeated for a better grade. (See Section on Grades, Honors, Class Standing.)

Application for a Degree

Each student who is a candidate for a degree is required to submit a written application for the degree by November 1 of the
academic year of graduation. This date also applies to students who plan to complete their work in the summer session.
Forms for degree applications are available from the Office of Records.

Requirements for a Second Degree

In order to earn a second degree from Millsaps College a student must have a minimum of 32 semester hours beyond those
required for the first degree and must meet all of the requirements for both the second degree and the second major.

Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental

Students interested in medicine, dentistry, osteopathy, optometry, podiatry, or veterinary medicine are urged to consult with a
member of the Pre-medical Advisory Committee in designing a program that will fit particular needs, background, and
interest. Members of the committee have references listing the requirements and admission policies of all American
allopathic (M.D.) and most related schools. Information is also available for other medical programs, as well as nursing,
occupational therapy, physical therapy, medical technology, and related fields.

Early in the fall semester of the senior year, the student should arrange an interview with the Pre-medical Advisory
Committee, which will evaluate the student's qualifications for medical study. This evaluation will be sent to the professional
schools in which the student is interested.

It is the responsibility of the pre-medicai and pre-dental students to consult the catalogs of the schools to which they wish to
apply for their specific requirements. However, the following courses generally fulfill the entrance requirements of medical,
dental, and related schools:

Biology 1 year

General inorganic chemistry 1 year

Organic chemistry 1 year

Physics 1 year

Mathematics 1 year

Additional advanced science is often required.

Many medically-related programs have more specific requirements.

Millsaps College and the majority of medical and dental schools strongly recommend that the student obtain a baccalaureate
degree in an area of interest. It is not required that this degree be in a science, and students are encouraged to achieve a broad
background in the humanities and social sciences, although the above listed requirements are generally immutable. The new
Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) emphasizes the desirability of a broad reading background, and also requires
writing an essay.

These requirements are further addressed in meetings of pre-health students held each semester. The pre-medical honorary,
Alpha Epsilon Delta, also conducts meetings of interest to students in all health-related curricula. Interested students should
avail themselves of these opportunities throughout their studies.
Admission to medical and dental programs is highly competitive. Success involves:

-grade point average (both total and science/math)

-score on the appropriate professional exam (e.g. MCAT, DAT)

-faculty and pre-med committee recommendations

-outside activities (including both campus and work experience)

-a successful interview with the professional school.

Combined research/professional programs are offered by many of these schools.

Pre-Ministerial

There is no required program of studies for persons planning to enter one of the ministries of the Church. Undergraduate pre-
seminary work at Millsaps should include significant work in the study of religion and philosophy and in the social and
behavioral sciences. No one major is best. Students considering a ministerial career should consult with the chair of the
department of Religious Studies or the college chaplain as early as possible. Given the special challenges of the practice of
mmistry, students should plan to undertake professional education in a theological seminary. The best preparation for such
professional education is an undergraduate education with breadth in the liberal arts. Pre-ministerial students may also want
to consider the Concentration in Christian Education (listed under Interdisciplinary Programs).

Pre-Law

No particular major or sequence of courses is necessary for students planning to go to law school. Indeed, there is no ideal
pre-law program applicable to all students. Instead, a student planning to attend law school should strive to attain and master
the intellectual qualities that make one successful in the study of law: (1 ) the ability to think and analyze critically, and (2)
the ability to write and write well.

Different students will learn, practice and hone these qualities in different majors and in different courses all across the
disciplines here at Millsaps. So, to build the most appropriate program of study, a student planning for law school should
consult her or his major advisor, faculty that have been influential in her or his academic study thus far, and the pre-law
advisor.

The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) should be taken in the spring semester of the junior or the fall semester of the
senior year. So, at some point in the junior year, the student interested in law school should consult with the pre-law advisor
to begin preparations for the LSAT and the law school admission process.

Pre-Social Work

Students who wish to prepare for a professional career in social work should plan a broad liberal arts program with a major in
one of the social sciences, preferably sociology-anthropology. Introduction to Sociology, Introduction to Anthropology,

Marriage and Family, and Social Stratification are essential. Other courses which are strongly recommended include
Sociology of Human Interaction, Theories of Personality, and Social Psychology. Internships can provide valuable practical
experience with community social welfare agencies. Students are urged to consult with their faculty advisers to plan a
schedule.

Programs for Teacher Licensure

The Millsaps Teacher Education Program is accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education
(NCATE). A student may pursue any degree offered by the College and qualify for teacher licensure provided all College
major requirements are met and all teacher licensure requirements are met. The Teacher Education Programs offer
certification in Elementary Education, Secondary Education, and in select areas (K-I2). In addition, Millsaps offers Dual
Certification in Special Education.

The licensure program is fully integrated within the liberal arts curriculum of the College, and our professors teach in the
liberal arts core curriculum as well. The streamlined and field-based program maximizes student time and potential. Students
are encouraged to proceed through the licensure process in a sequential manner. Teacher certification can be earned
concurrently with any other major during the four-year undergraduate experience.

There are certain entrance standards which must be met prior to being fully admitted in the Department of Education.
Entrance requirements include: completion of the core curriculum (1-9), a minimum overall score of 21 on the American
College Test (ACT) with no subscore lower than 1 8 upon entrance to college OR a minimum score of 860 on the Scholastic
Aptitude Test (SAT) upon entrance to college OR appropriate scores on the Professional Assessments for Beginning
Teachers (PRAXIS), and a minimum grade point average of 2.5. Students must complete all application procedures with the
Chair of the Department of Education. To receive the College's recommendation for teacher licensure, the student must
maintain a 2.5 GPA or above, score at the appropriate level on specified PRAXIS tests, and complete the Portfolio for
Comprehensive Examination with the Department of Education.

Cooperative Programs

Business Administration
Major Plus Program in Business Administration: The Else School of Management offers a program designed to permit
students pursuing degrees other than the BBA, particularly those working toward the BA, to complete the MBA at Millsaps
with only one additional year of study beyond the bachelors degree program. The Major Plus program specifies certain
courses from Else School offerings which students take as general electives during their bachelors program. These courses
are: Principles of Economics, Introduction to the Legal Environment of Business, Business Statistics and Computing I and 11,
Survey of Accounting, Introduction to Management, Operations Management with Computing, Fundamentals of Marketing,
and Principles of Corporate Finance. A non-BBA student who successflilly completes all of the prescribed courses will be in
a position to earn the MBA by completing only the upper-level courses pertinent to that degree program. This can normally
be done in one additional year of study at Millsaps. For details of the Major Plus program, contact the Director of Graduate
Business Admissions in the Else School of Management.

Engineering and Applied Science

This program at Millsaps offers many opportunities for the student interested in engineering, applied science, management
and business administration. With this cooperative program the student can combine the advantages of a liberal education at
Millsaps with the specialized programs of a major university The Arthur C. Miller Pre-engineering Scholarship Fund
provides a scholarship based on financial need and academic progress for a student expressing an interest in engineering.

3-2 BS Programs: Millsaps has agreements with four universities - Auburn, Columbia, Vanderbilt and Washington
universities - by which a student may attend Millsaps for three years and then continue work at any of the schools listed
above. The student then transfers a maximum of 32 semester hours back for a bachelor's degree from Millsaps and at the end
of the fiflh year receives another bachelor's degree from the university.

4-2 BS and MS Programs: The Columbia University Combined Plan also has 4-2 programs in which a student attends
Millsaps for four years, completing degree requirements and then spends two more years at Columbia to obtain a BS or MS
degree from the Columbia School of Engineering and Applied Science.

3-3 BS/MS and BS/MBA Programs: Washington University also has a combined Degree Program wherein the student
spends three years at Millsaps and then spends three years at Washington University earning both the BS and MS fi'om the

School of Engineering and applied Science or both the BS from the School of Engineering and applied Science and the MBA
from the Graduate School of Business Administration.

A wide variety of programs are ottered by the four participating universities, including financial aid for qualified students.
For detailed descriptions of programs and financial aid, the interested student is urged to consult u-ith the pre-engineering
advisor. To be admitted to the programs listed below the student must fulfill certain minimum course requirements at
Millsaps. For many programs, particularly those in engineering and applied science, the mathematics requirements are strict.
To keep the 3-2 or 4-2 option viable, a student should plan to take calculus at the earliest possible time at Millsaps.

For students interested in engineering, the general expectation of the cooperating engineering schools is that most, if not all,
of the science, mathematics and humanities requirements for the engineering degree be taken at Millsaps. Students interested
in a particular program, however, should consult the catalog of the appropriate university and the Millsaps pre-engineering
advisor. Some programs have particular requirements, such as the Auburn University electrical engineering requirement of an
ethics course, which students might wish to fulfill at Millsaps.

The Dual Degree Progrnm at Auburn University includes bachelor of engineering degrees in aerospace, chemical, civil,
electrical, industrial, material and mechanical engineering. It is also possible to obtain a BS in agricultural engineering.

The Combined Plan Program at Columbia University offers BS and MS degrees in civil, electrical, industrial,
mechanical, mining, nuclear, biological, chemical, metallurgical and mineral engineering. Other programs include computer
science, engineering mechanics, applied mathematics (BS only), applied physics, materials science, operations research, solid
state science (MS only), chemical metallurgy, applied chemistry and materials science.

Special Programs
Ford Teaching Fellows Program

The Ford Teaching Fellows Program provides an opportunity for upper-class students with an interest in college teaching to
work closely with a faculty member in their area of academic interest. Primary teaching under faculty supervision is
encouraged as well as research and scholarship. Each student must submit an application, completed jointly with their
proposed faculty mentor, lo the program director early in the spring semester. Approximately twelve students are selected
each year for participation in this program.

The Honors Program

The Honors Program provides an opportunity for .students of outstanding ability to pursue an advanced course of study which
would ordinarily not be available. In the spring of their junior year and the fall of their senior year, honors students carry out
a research project of their choice under a professor's direction. The project's final product, consisting wholly or partially of a
written thesis, is presented before a panel of faculty members. In the spring of the senior year, students participate in an
interdisciplinary colloquium which intensively examines a topic of broad interest. Students successfiilly completing all
phases of the Honors Program receive the designation "with honors" in their field of honors work at graduation. Students
interested in participating in the Honors Program should consult with the program director in the fall of their junior year.

The Washington Semester

The Washington Semester is a joint arrangement between American University, Millsaps College, and other colleges and
universities in the United States to extend the resources of the national capital to superior students in the field of the social
sciences. The object is to provide a direct contact with the work of governmental departments and other national and
international agencies that are located in Washington, thus acquainting the students with possible careers in public service
and imparting a knowledge of government in action.

Under this arrangement qualified students of demonstrated capacity from the participating colleges spend a semester at the
School of Government and Public Administration of the American University in Washington. They earn four courses of
credit toward graduation. Two course credits are earned in a Conference Seminar, in which high-ranking leaders of politics
and government meet with students. One course credit is earned in a research course, which entails the writing of a paper by
utilizing the sources available only at the nation's capital. An additional course credit is earned in an Internship, in which the
student is placed in a government or public interest organization office.

Public Administration Internship

With the cooperation of city, state, and federal agencies, students who have had the introductory public administration course
may be placed in middle management level positions.

School of Management Intern Programs

Students have the opportunity of obtaining specialized training and practical experience in management through an
established Internship Program. The program involves prominent regional and national business organizations and agencies
of the state government. The student's training is conducted and supervised by competent management personnel according
to a predetermined agenda of activities. Evaluation of the student's participation and progress provides the basis for granting
appropriate academic credit.

International Study

Based on the belief that international experience is vital to successful leadership in all academic and professional fields, the
Center for International Initiatives (CII) is dedicated to the promotion and development of international co-curricular
opportunities for all members of the Millsaps community. International study typically takes place between the completion of
a student's first and third year of study at Millsaps College. A student may arrange to study abroad for a semester, year or
summer. The timing of study is determined, in part, by a student's academic program and progress toward completion of their
degree requirements.

Students interested in international study should contact the Cll as much as a year in advance of their intended tenn of
departure for assistance in planning and program selection. Programs are located in every comer of the world, cover virtually
all interest areas, and typically have one or more of the following foci: academic, fine arts, service, internship, language and
teaching. The Study Abroad office provides information on programs sponsored by Millsaps College, in addition to those
sponsored by other organizations.

Among Millsaps students, the most popular program choices are those designed, directed, and taught by Millsaps faculty
each summer. Millsaps programs are located in France, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Europe (Business or Liberal Arts).
Participants receive full academic credit for select core and major requirements without having to worry about transfer credit
issues.

Financial Aid for Study Abroad

Students who receive or are eligible to receive federal financial aid may apply these funds toward the cost of study in an
approved program. Unsubsidized federal loans for the purpose of study abroad are available for students who do not qualify
for need-based aid. More information is located in the 'Financial Information' section of this publication. Millsaps academic
scholarships may not be applied toward off-campus study. Students planning international study during the fall or spring
semester must complete an official Leave of Absence petition in order to maintain eligibility to retain academic scholarships.
However, it will be necessary to reapply for need-based aid.

Administration of the Curriculum

Grades, Honors, Class Standing

The grade in any class is detennined by the combined class standing and a written examination as explained in the class
syllabus.

A represents superior work.

B represents above average achievement.

C represents a satisfactory level of achievement.

D represents a less than satisfactory level of achievement in the regularly prescribed work of the class.

P represents failure to do the regularly prescribed work of the class. All marks of D and above are passing

marks, and F represents failure.
^ indicates that a student has withdrawn from a course or has received approval to withdraw from the

College.
. indicates that the work is incomplete and will be counted as a F if the incomplete is not removed by the

end of the following semester.
IP indicates work in progress.

CR represents passing work in a non-graded course taken for credit.

NC represents no credit in a non-graded course taken for credit.

NR indicates no grade reported.

Grade Points

The completion of any academic course sliail entitle a student to the tbllowing grade points for a semester hour:

A-

3.67

B+

3.33

B-

2.67

C+

2.33

1.67

D+

1.33

Grade points earned for a course are determined by multiplying the numerical value of the grade by the number of semester
hours that the course carries. A grade point average is detennined by dividing the total number of grade points by the number
of semester hours taken. o i- j

The deadlme for submitting grade changes to the Office of Records will be no later than the date that midterm grades are due
in the semester following the one that contains the error. The same deadline will apply to changes in grades for students who
have already graduated. No changes will be made in class rankings or graduation rankings based upon grade changes for
students that have graduated. Any changes in distinction will be posted to the individual's record. If a change in distinction
occurs, the student must return the original diploma to the Office of Records. Once the original diploma is received, another
diploma will be ordered with the correct distinction on it.

It is the student's responsibility to inform the Office of Records of any possible errors and to work with the professor(s)
involved. ^ ^ '

This deadline does not apply to the grades of Incomplete and W, which have separate pol

Class Standing

The following number of courses is required:

For sophomore rating 28 semester hours

For junior rating 60 semester hours

For senior rating 92 semester hours

A student's classification is determined at the beginning of the fall and spring semester.

Student Status

Degree-seeking students taking 12 or more semester hours will be classified as full-time students.

Degree-seeking students taking fewer than 12 semester hours will be classified as part-time students.

A non-degree student is a mature person of ability and seriousness of purpose who enrolls for limited academic work and
does not plan to seek a degree. Non-degree studems observe the same regulations concerning attendance, examination and
proficiency as regular students. v,A<..iiMmiiuii <juu

Credit/No Credit Grade Option

With the approval ol^thc instructor, some courses may be taken for credit/no credit. Students must indicate their intention to
ake a course for credit/no credit at the time of registration. Credit/ no credit grading requires flill participation of the student
in all class activities. Credit signifies work of passing quality or above, though it carries no grade points. Core courses and
courses taken to meet additional degree requirements may not be taken for credit/no credit. Courses required for a student's
major ordinarily may not be taken for credit/no credit. No more than eight semester hours graded credit/no credit may be
included in the 128 semester hours required for graduation. Courses taken for credit/no credit will not affect a student's grade
point average.

Auditing Courses

Courses may be audited if the instructor of tlie course gives written approval on the registration form. Students must indicate
their intention to audit at the time of registration, and once a course has been registered for audit, it may not be changed. No
credit is earned for courses that are audited, and the grade of audit does not affect the GPA. For information about fees
associated with auditing courses, see the special fees section of the catalog (page 21).

Repeat Courses

A student may enroll in a course at Millsaps which has previously been taken. A course previously taken at Millsaps may
also be repeated at another institution with the prior approval of the registrar in consultation with the appropriate department
chair. When a course is repeated, no additional course credit is earned, but all grades are calculated into the cumulative grade
point average. All grades reported for the course remain a part of the permanent academic record. Millsaps does not
guarantee the availability of courses for repeat credit.

Graduation With Distinction

A student whose grade point average is 3.5 for the entire course shall be graduated Cum Laude; one whose grade point
average is 3.7 shall be graduated Magna Cum Laude; and one whose grade point average is 3.9 and who has a rating of
excellent on the comprehensive examination shall be graduated Summa Cum Laude. To be eligible for graduation Cum
Laude, Magna Cum Laude or Summa Cum Laude, a student must have passed at least 64 semester hours in Millsaps College.

In determining eligibility for distinction for students who have not done all their college work at Millsaps, the grade points
earned on the basis of grades made at other institutions will be considered, but students will be considered eligible only if
they have the required average both on the work done at Millsaps and on college courses as a whole.

Graduation With Honors

A student who successfully completes the Honors Program in a selected field of study, which need not be in the student's
major, receives the designation with honors in that field at graduation.

A degree-seeking student with junior standing and a 3.3 grade point average may apply to a faculty member for permission to
undertake an honors project. In the fall semester of the junior year, the student submits an honors project agreement to the
Honors Program director. Upon approval of the director, the student enrolls for the spring semester in a directed study course.
Honors Research 1. For the fall semester of the senior year, the student enrolls in Honors Research 11, but completes the bulk
of the work before that time in order to be able to defend the thesis to the student's defense committee in the fall. A letter
grade is assigned for each of these two courses. For the spring semester of the senior year, the student enrolls in the Honors
Colloquium, designed to bring together all students in the program for intellectual exchange.

A student may voluntarily withdraw candidacy for honors at any time. Regular college regulations apply in the matter of
dropping a course and receiving course credit.

Election to Phi Beta Kappa

The Phi Beta Kappa chapter at Millsaps elects members from the graduating class each spring. To be considered for election
to membership in Phi Beta Kappa, a student must meet the following criteria:

1 . Completion of requirements for a BA or BS degree with a liberal arts or sciences major. (At least three-fourths
of the work required for the degree must be in the liberal arts and sciences.)

2. A minimum of one-half of the work required for graduation completed at Millsaps.

3. One course in mathematics, calculus or above, and one course in a foreign language at the intermediate level or
above.

4. A minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.7 based on seven or more semesters. (Grades earned in applied
or professional work are not counted in computing GPA for the purpose of election to Phi Beta Kappa.)

Transfer students must meet the required grade point average both on work done at Millsaps and on their college work as a
whole. No more than 10 percent of the liberal arts and science graduates may be elected to membership from a graduating
class.

Election to Beta Gamma Sigma

Beta Gamma Sigma is the national honor society for business prograins accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate
Schools of Business. Students are elected each spring. To be considered for membership in Beta Gamma Sigma, an
undergraduate must:

1 . pursue the Bachelor of Business Administration degree,

2. be of high moral character,

3. be in the upper seven percent of the junior class or upper ten percent of the senior class, and

4. be approved by the nominating committee.

The cumulative grade point average is used to determine class rank. No more than 10 percent of the BBA graduates may be
elected to membership from a graduating class.

time student, one must take no fewer than 12 semester hours.

Students are not encouraged to register for more than 18 hours of academic work unless they have a cumulative grade point
average of 3.0. No student may register for more than 20 hours in a semester without a cumulative grade point average of 3.0
and permission of the Dean of the College. A student will ordinarily not be permitted to register for more than 22 hours in a
semester.

Administrative Regulations
Schedule Changes

No studexit can be registered for courses in another college while being enrolled at Millsaps without the written permission of
the dean of the college. A student cannot change cUisses, drop classes or take up new classes except by the consent of the
faculty adviser or the dean. If courses are dropped prior to the last day to drop courses without penalty, then the dropped
courses will not appear on the student's record. Courses dropped after this date are recorded as W. There is a published date,
following mid-term grades, after which it is no longer possible to drop a course without the approval of the dean. Students
who drop a course without securing the required approvals will receive an F.

Withdrawal

In order to withdraw from the College within any term, an undergraduate student (except for ADP and Non-degree) must
meet with the Director of Retention and Student Success for an exit interview and to obtain a withdrawal form. ADP and
Non-degree students must meet with the Director of the Adult Degree Program. No refund will be considered unless the
withdrawal form with appropriate signatures is completed and presented to the Business Office. Refunds will be made
according to the policy outlined under the Financial Regulations section.

A student who withdraws with permission after the first seven days of the semester will receive all W grades. Individual
course drops that adjust a student's schedule are purged from the student's schedule and are not recorded on the academic
record.

A student who withdraws with permission after the first seven days, but before mid-semester will have grades recorded as W
in each course. A student who withdraws without permission receives a grade of F in each course.

Students should complete all course withdrawals by mid-semester. The mid-semester deadline for completing course
withdrawals is published in the college catalog.

Students who wish to withdraw from one or more courses after the mid-semester deadlme must file a written petition with the
Dean of the College. Petitions will not be approved unless students can show evidence that they are in extraordinary
situations which warrant exceptions to the general policy of the College.

Enforced withdrawal may result from habitual delinquency in class, or any other circumstance which prevents the student
from fulfilling the purpose of the class.

The College reserves the right to cancel the registration of any student. In such a case, the pro rata portion of tuition will be
returned, except that students withdrawing under discipline forfeit the right to a refund.

No student who withdraws is entitled to a grade report or to a transcript of credits until all accounts are settled in the Business
Office.

Medical Withdrawal

Medical withdrawals are granted to students only in the rare case where their physical, mental, or emotional health prevents
them from continuing studies at the college.

It is the sole responsibility of the student requesting a medical withdrawal during any semester to complete and submit all
required paperwork by the last day of classes in that semester as defined by the official college calendar. All requests for
medical withdrawals must be accompanied by a medical professional's recommendation for withdrawal and documentation of
illness. Students granted a medical withdrawal will receive the grade of "W" in all attempted classes. Medical withdrawals
may only be granted for the current semester. Upon return to the college, students must present documentation from the
medical professional that states the student has been treated by a medical professional and in his/her expert opinion tlte
student's condition has improved to the point that he/she can handle the demands of college life.

Academic Probation

Students who earn in any semester a grade point average of less than 1.5 will be placed on academic probation. A student
may be removed from academic probation by earning a 2.0 grade point average during a regular semester at Millsaps College
provided that the student completes at least 12 semester hours and has an acceptable cumulative average.

Academic Suspension

A student on academic probation for nvo consecutive semesters will be placed on academic suspension. A student may also
be placed on academic suspension if satisfactory progress has not been made toward a degree. Satisfactory progress is
defined as maintaining:

• 1 .5 cumulative grade point average when 28 semester hours have been attempted, or

• 1 .8 cumulative grade point average when more than 28 semester hours and 60 semester hours or less have been
attempted, or

• 2.0 cumulative grade point average when greater than 60 semester hours have been attempted.

Students who have been suspended may petition the dean of the college in writing for readmission. The first suspension will
ordinarily be for the duration of one semester, the second suspension for a full academic year. Students seeking readmission
should apply as soon as possible in order to assure sufficient time to fulfill whatever requirements may be necessary for
readmission to be granted. If students take classes at another school while on suspension from Millsaps, those courses will
not transfer back to Millsaps.

Unsatisfactory Academic Progress

A part-time student who makes a grade point average of less than 1 .5 in any semester will be notified that he or she is making
unsatisfactory academic progress. To be removed from that classification the student must make a 2.0 grade point average
during a regular semester or summer session.

Class Attendance

Irregular attendance indicates that the student may be having difficulties adju.sting to the course or to college. The primary
responsibility for counseling students with respect to their absence rests with the faculty member; but, in the following
circumstances, the faculty member is expected to report in writing the student's unsatisfactory attendance record to the Office
of Records.

1. For a freshman - whenever the total absences are equal to twice the number of class meetings per week.

2. For any student - after three successive absences for reasons unknown to the instructor, or when in danger of
failing the course.

The reporting of absences Is for coun.seling purposes only, and has no effect on the student's grade.

Individual faculty members decide the manner and extent to which absences alone will affect a student's grade. Each faculty
member is expected to outline the policy in writmg to each class at the beginning of the semester. This may extend to
dismissal from the course with a grade of "F" for reasons solely of absence.

Absences are e.xcusable only by the individual faculty member, but an excused absence does not excuse the student from
bemg responsible for the course work. Explanation for a student's absence provided by a parent, medical doctor, or a member
of the faculty or administration may be helpful to the faculty member, but such explanations are not in themselves excuses.
This IS particularly important in the case of absences involving missed examinations, late assignments, laboratory sessions
and similar scheduled commitments. Faculty members, however, may not excuse students from attendance on the two days
preceding and the two days following vacation periods without the express permission of the dean.

Each student is responsible for knowing general attendance policy of the College and the particular policies operative in each
class. Further details relating to attendance are In the student handbook. Major Fads.

Examinations

Permission to make up an examination or alter the time for an e.xamination may be granted only by the instructor of the class
for a specific student. If an Instructor wishes to change the time of a final exam for a class, he or she must obtain permission
from the Dean of the College.

No student should be required to take more than two final exams on one day. Students will be expected to take the initiative
to resolve any conflicts with the appropriate faculty and If a resolution Is not reached the student will appeal to the Academic
Dean.

Senior Exemptions

Students may elect to be exempt from final examinations only in the semester In which they complete their comprehensive
examinations, and only In those courses in which they have a C average or better. It shall be understood, however, that this
exemption does not ensure the student a final grade of C, since daily grades during the last two weeks shall count in the final
average. Under no circumstances may a student be exempt from any examination In more than one term or semester. Seniors
may be allowed one special examination in any subject taken and failed in the senior year. Permission for such examination
must be secured from the dean or associate dean of the college. Students may request exemption from other requirements by
petition to the Dean of the College.

Honor Code

Millsaps College is an academic community where men and women pursue a life of scholarly inquiry and intellectual growth
The foundation of this community is a spirit of personal honesty and mutual trust. Through their Honor Code, members of the
Millsaps community, faculty and students, affirm their adherence to these basic ethical principles. An Honor Code is not
simply a set of rules and procedures governing students' academic conduct. It Is an opportunity to put personal responsibility
and integrity into action. When students agree to abide by the Honor Code, they liberate themselves to pursue their academic
goals in an atmosphere of mutual confidence and respect. The success of the code depends upon the support of each member
of the community. Students and faculty alike commit themselves in their work to the principles of academic honesty When
they become aware ot infractions, both students and faculty are obligated to report them to the Honor Council which is
responsible for enforcement. The Millsaps Honor Code was adopted by the student body and approved by the faculty and
Board of Trustees in 1994.

Student Behavior

Students at Millsaps, because they are members of an academic community dedicated to the achievement of excellence are
expected to meet the highest standards of personal, ethical and moral conduct possible. The commitment of its faculty staff
and students to these standards contributes to the high respect In which the Millsaps degree is held. Students must not destroy
that respect by failure to meet these standards.

The College has the responsibility and authority to establish standards for scholarship, student conduct and campus life
Therefore, it cannot condone violations of local, state or federal laws or conduct detrimental to students or to the College.

Students, as adults, are presumed to know the law as to illegal conduct prohibited by municipal, state or federal law and are
governed thereby.

The College expects students to be concerned with the physical and psychological well being of others and cannot condone
behavior which exploits another individual. Students and organizations are expected to comply with rules concerning the
academic, social, and residential life of the College. They are expected to comply with directions of college officials.
Students are responsible for the behavior of their guests while on Millsaps property and/or at Millsaps functions.

The Millsaps Judicial System has been put in place to ensure the protection and preservation of the academic environment on
campus where all students are free to pursue their educational goals. The system is educational in that it encourages students
to become better citizens and live up to the higher standard of behavior expected of all Millsaps students. Millsaps students
are expected to act with honesty and integrity in personal, social and academic relationships and with consideration and
concern for the community, its members and its property. We emphasize education by focusing on growth and development
of the individual student, encouraging self-discipline and fostering a respect for others.

The Millsaps Judicial System is not intended to mirror that of any court system. The policies and procedures used are not
meant to resemble those in the criminal process. There is a fundamental difference in the nature of student discipline and that
of criminal law. Student discipline is meant to maintain a positive living and learning environment. The process is designed
to help students make positive choices for themselves, choosing self-responsibility instead of submitting to peer-pressure, and
to challenge them to accept responsibility for any negative choices.

Alcoholic Beverages

Millsaps College is an educational institution dedicated to a strong academic program and to providing a caring community.
The College strives to help its students become self-directed, responsible citizens. The College's alcohol policy is intended to
assist in the creation of a campus environment where students have the opportunity to learn how to deal responsibly, both
individually and socially, with alcoholic beverages.

Millsaps College does not encourage the consumption of alcoholic beverages. Members and guests of the Millsaps College
community who are of legal drinking age (21 years old) and choose to consume alcoholic beverages are expected to do so
responsibly and in consideration of the consequences to self, others, and the community-at-large. Any consumption of
alcohol must be done within the limits of the applicable laws, and relevant college policies.

All members of the campus community are expected to recognize the potential for alcohol abuse and that abuse of alcohol is
absolutely at variance with the mission of the College. Persons who infringe upon the rights of others or who conduct
themselves in an inappropriate manner which is caused by, or can be shown to be related to the consumption of alcohol, shall
be held accountable for their actions, and subject to disciplinary and/or criminal action.

The regulations and practices governing the use of alcoholic beverages apply to all members of the Millsaps College
community. The primary responsibility for knowing and abiding by the provisions of the College's alcoholic beverage policy
rests with each individual.

Illegal Substances

The College cannot condone violations of federal, state or local laws regarding any illegal daigs, narcotics and dangerous
substances. The use, possession or distribution of such substances, except as expressly permitted by law, is not permitted.

Disciplinary Regulations

Students guilty of serious and/or multiple infractions of College regulations may be subject to disciplinary action including:
social probation, disciplinary probation, disciplinary suspension or disciplinary expulsion. The Judicial Council may enact
social probation or disciplinary probation and may forward a recommendation for disciplinary suspension or disciplinary
expulsion to the President. The President and/or the Vice President and Dean of Students may enact any of these sanctions
when warranted.

Social Probation

Social probation is a warning to a student regarding conduct standards. Its primary purpose is to serve as a period of time in
which a student is asked to prove responsibility to himself/herself and the College. When a student is placed on social
probation he/she is prohibited from participating in extracurricular campus activities such a fraternity /sorority social
activities, intramural and varsity sports. In addition a student may hold no office of campus leadership. When an organization

is placed on social probation, the organization may not sponsor social activities in the name of the organization, or in a
manner that could reasonably be interpreted as sponsorship by the organization, for the period of the social probation.

Disciplinary Probation

Disciplinary probation is the most serious penalty, short of suspension and expulsion, that can be incurred by a student.
During a period of disciplinary probation any further infraction of college regulations will render the student liable to
suspension or expulsion.

Disciplinary Suspension and Disciplinary Expulsion

Unfortunately there are times when a student's conduct is deemed to require the most serious penalty to be exacted by

officials of the College. Tiiis action may result from a series of less severe actions or from a particularly egregious behavior

as determined by the College officials.

Disciplinary suspension is a decision to temporarily discharge a student. The student will receive grades of W for the

semester and official notation will be made on the transcript.

Disciplinary expulsion is a decision to permanently discharge a student. The student will receive failing grades for the

semester and official notation will be made on the transcript.

When student behavior warrants either disciplinaiy suspension or disciplinary expulsion, the student's financial status will be

treated as if the student withdrew (see policy under Financial Regulations section).

Interdisciplinary Programs

American Studies

American Studies is an interdisciplinary program focused upon the multi-faceted culture and civilization of the United States.
The program integrates the study of fields such as history, literature, politics, art, philosophy, and religion in an effort to
create a better understanding of the nation we call united.

The concentration in American Studies is like a minor; but, unlike a minor that is contained in one specific discipline, the
American Studies concentration is interdisciplinary. If you complete a concemration in American Studies, your transcript will
reflect this upon graduation.

Requirements for Area of Concentration: A student may elect an area of concentration in American Studies (along with
his or her major) by completing the following requirements with a minimum grade of C.

American Studies 2000: Introduction to American Studies (4 sem. hours). This course is an interdisciplinary introduction
to the field of American Studies. In it, we explore several things; the questions raised by critical study of American
experiences; the intellectual debates surrounding interpretations of American literature, arts, religions, philosophies,
cultures and history; and -especially- the paradoxes inherent to American identity, whether we are defining "the"
American individual or the nation as a whole.

Electives: (16 sem. hours). In addition to the Introduction to American Studies, students must take the equivalent of four

courses of approved American Studies classes with multidisciplinary breadth. (This means that at least one of these
four electives must come from a different academic department than the others. All four courses cannot come from
the same department.)

Questions about American Studies? If you have any questions about the American Studies concentration, please contact
Dr. MacMastcr in the English department or Dr. McElvaine in the History department.

International Studies

The Concentration in International Studies is designed to reward students who want to learn about contemporary global

affairs in an interdisciplinary fashion.

The Concentration in International Studies will require the following courses:

Required Introductory Course (Choose One four-hour Course)

■ IDS 2500 (Core 5): Globalization and Technology (Storey)

■ POL SCI 2400; International Relations (Omo-Bare)

Required Study Abroad: Students must participate in one study abroad program that is approved by the college. In

consultation with faculty advisors, students may choose a program that takes place during a summer, a semester, or a year.

The program must provide at least four hours of approved credit. Those credits may be used to fulfill the distribution

requirements for the concentration. In case of programs that are interdisciplinary in nature, the Director of International

Studies will determine, in consultation with the student, which disciplinary distribution requirements are fulfilled by that

program. Additional requirements of the concentration, with the approval of the Director.

Programs are available in almo.st every country and discipline. The Millsaps Study Abroad Office will assist students in

identifying and selecting programs. Some of the best options are listed below, under distribution requirements.

Financial aid is now available for study abroad. Students may apply for loans to support study abroad. The Study Abroad

Office will work with students who are interested in applying for loans. Outside scholarships may also be available to

students.

Distribution Requirements: Students must choose courses worth 24 HOURS, in at least THREE departments, in at least
TWO divisions.

Courses are to be approved by the Director of International Studies, in consultation with the members of the faculty who are
offering the courses in question.

Approved courses will focus substantially on foreign, international, or cross-cultural issues that have developed since the
beginning of the twentieth century. By "substantial" focus on this time period, we mean that at least half of the course will
address the period since 1900. For example, the survey of modern European history begins in 1789, but typically students in
the course spend half of their time studying the history since 1900. That course, and others like it, will count toward the
concentration, in addition to courses that focus exclusively on the twentieth century.

Eight hours of credit may be double-counted from the student's major department, provided that the courses being double-
counted have a substantial focus on contemporary and international issues.

"Special topics" courses not listed in the catalog may also be counted, provided that they also have a substantial focus on
contemporary and international issues.

Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA)

Educational Goals: The curriculum of the Bachelor otBusiness Administration degree (BBA) is designed to
provide an educational base for a lifetime of learning to enable each student to realize his or her potential. To
accomplish this mission, educational goals have been identified to develop in each student: 1) a management
outlook toward organizations and the ability to work with others to accomplish common goals; 2) the Ability to
organize mformation for analysis and decision making; 3) an understanding of the standards of professional
behavior which are consistent with ethical precepts; 4) an awareness of the attributes necessary to attain positions of
leadership; 5) an understanding of innovation and the importance of agents of change in society; 6) a global
perspective; and 7) an understanding of the changing societal, political, legal, and cultural environments that
organizations face.

Degree Requirements: Students major in either accounting or business administration to earn a BBA degree. The
BBA academic program is a three-year, integrated body of study. Since the program is integrated, the courses are
sequenced so that each course is taught with the assumption that the students in the class have a common academic
background. To insure educational diversity, at least fifty percent (usually 64 or more semester hours) must be non-
business courses. Up to 9 semester hours of economics courses may be considered as non-business courses.

Foundation Prerequisites: Students pursuing the BBA should complete College Algebra , Survey of Calculus (or
Precalculus followed by Analytical Geometry and Calculus 1), during their freshman year. These courses will be
completed before commencing junior-level courses. Elementary Statistics should be completed prior to the fall
semester of the junior year. College Algebra and Survey of Calculus ( Precalculus, Analytical Geometry and
Calculus 1 ) satisfy the Core 8 and 9 requirements respectively. Sophomore-level BBA core courses will be
completed before commencing junior-level BBA courses.

Curriculum: Nine core courses, two of which are one-half semester courses for a total of 32 semester hours, are
required of ail BBA students in addition to the courses required for the particular major, business administration or
accounting. The business administration major includes the BBA core courses plus Business Strategy and 12
semester hours (typically three courses) of Else School electives which totals 48 semester hours. Students planning
to complete degree requirements and leave the College at the end of a fall semester must take Management 4000:

fifty percent of the BBA course work must be taken at Millsaps. For the administration major, this means at least
24 semester hours of BBA coursework must be completed at Millsaps. For the accounting major, it means 32
semester hours of BBA course work must be completed at Millsaps. Transfer students may receive credit for
Principles of Accounting and Principles of Economics if they passed with a grade of "C" or better at their previous
institution six hours of Principles of Accounting and Principles of Economics. They must, however, take the four
junior-level BBA core courses at Millsaps.

Credit for junior and senior-level courses taken at other four-year colleges will be evaluated on an individual basis
by the Else School. For business administration majors. Business Strategy (Mgmt 4000) must be taken at Millsaps;
and for accounting majors, at least 1 2 semester hours in accounting (."5 courses) required in the major must be taken
at Millsaps. Ordinarily, course work taken more than six years prior to admission or re-admission to the Else School
or academic work in which the student receives a grade below "C" must be repeated. The Academic Affairs
Committee of the Else School will evaluate extenuating circumstances for exceptions to these standards.

Millsaps students who wish to take BBA courses at the 3000 level or above at an institution other than Millsaps
must do so at an AACSB accredited institution and have approval from the Dean of the Else School of Management.
All students are required to complete at least fifty percent of their course work at Millsaps.

Master of Accountancy Program (MAcc)

The Else School offers the Master of Accountancy degree which is designed for students who intend to pursue
professional careers in public accounting, business, and the government/non-profit sector. The MAcc fulfills the
educational requirements to sit for the CPA examination in states which have adopted the AlCPA's 150 credit hour
requirement. In general, the MAcc program involves a fifth year of study beyond the accounting major. Students
who plan to seek the MAcc degree should pursue the basic accounting major as outlined above. For more details
about the MAcc program, see any member of the accounting faculty and other college publications.

Student's Guide to Earning a BBA

The following is a four-year curriculum typical of Millsaps students majoring in business administration. Though
this is representative of a B.B.A. student's four-year course of study, there are opportunities for individual variations
including second majors and minors depending upon the student's particular interests. By the end of their sophomore
year, BBA students will complete Core 1 through 9 as well as the mathematics courses which are the foundations for
the BBA curriculum. It should be noted that a BBA student may choose to take more than the minimum of 48
semester hours of Else School courses but at least fifty percent of total semester hours credit must be non-
business courses.
