Philosophy/Religion/Business: Combined Five-Year B.A./M.B.A. Program The UNI College of Business Administration and the Department of Philosophy and Religion jointly offer a five-year program in two combinations leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree (B.A.) and a Master of Business Administration degree (M.B.A.). They are Philosophy B.A./M.B.A. and Religion B.A./M.B.A. This five-year program is ideal for students who want a sound foundation in the liberal arts and an education in business leadership. Students should declare their intention to enroll in this program no later than the middle of their sophomore year. The Ethics Minor is intended to provide students of diverse major fields of study a way to focus and develop their interest in ethics both by offering them a core of courses essential to an understanding of the field of ethics and by advising them in the selection of courses that enable them to develop depth and detail in theoretical, professional and applied ethics.

The Department of Physics offers major programs in two baccalaureate areas: the Bachelor of Science and the Bachelor of Arts. The B.S. Physics Major is recommended for students who wish to prepare for graduate study in physics, engineering, or other sciences such as geophysics, astronomy, biophysics, or medical physics. The B.S. Applied Physics Major is especially suitable for students seeking industrial or other applied employment after the B.S. degree. It could also serve as a background for graduate study in some applied science or engineering areas. The B.A. Physics Major is for students (including double majors) desiring a broad background in science or who are taking a substantial amount of work in other areas. With appropriate choice of electives the B.A. Physics Major meets the needs of pre-medical and pre-law students and students planning careers in science-related administration, business, or technical writing. The B.A. Physics Major Teaching is for students preparing to be physics teachers at the secondary school level. Bachelor of Science Degree Programs Note: To graduate with a B.S. degree in Physics or Applied Physics, a student must earn an overall grade point average of at least 2.50 in all courses applied toward the major. Required: Mathematics: 800:060; 800:061;

Applied Physics/Engineering Dual-Degree Major Qualified students may pursue a dual-degree major leading to a B.S. Applied Physics degree from the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) and a B.S. engineering degree from Iowa State University (ISU) or the University of Iowa (UI). This requires approximately three years of attendance at UNI followed by approximately two years of attendance at ISU or UI. Students who successfully complete the UNI part of the major are guaranteed admittance into the ISU or UI portion of the major if they have: an average of at least B (3.00 GPA) in all course work; an average of at least B (3.00 GPA) in the chemistry, mathematics, and physics courses required by the UNI Department of Physics; and the positive recommendation of the Head, Department of Physics. The engineering courses completed toward a B.S. engineering degree at ISU or UI will be transferred to UNI to provide 9-13 credit hours of electives for the applied physics portion of the major. The UNI internship requirement will be satisfied through comparable practical experience at ISU or UI that has been approved by the Head, Department of Physics, UNI. In the first three years at UNI students in the major must complete at least 90 semester credit hours of course work. In addition to the courses listed above, the students are expected to complete courses to satisfy the Liberal Arts Core requirements. Credit, but no grades, for courses at UNI passed with a grade of C or better will be transferred to ISU or UI as credit for equivalent courses there, even though they may not be required by the engineering curriculum selected by the student. During the years at ISU or UI, students will complete the requirements specified in the College of Engineering Catalog at the time of their admission. Course work completed at ISU or UI will be transferred to UNI to complete the requirements for the applied physics portion of the major. Upon successful completion of the major, students will be eligible to participate in commencement ceremonies at both UNI and either ISU or UI.

Note: The College of Social and Behavioral Sciences offers an Honors option to students majoring in one of the academic programs within the College. Students who want to declare psychology as a major or minor, including the teaching programs, must have completed 9 hours of psychology (400:xxx) with a minimum GPA of 2.50. Students not meeting this requirement may discuss their special situation with the department head who may waive the requirement in extraordinary circumstances. All transfer students must have permission of the department head in order to declare a major or minor. Only courses with an earned grade of at least a C- will count toward the majors and minors. It is possible for psychology majors to graduate with departmental honors provided they have an overall GPA of at least 3.50 and complete a research project deemed worthy of honors by the department. Generally such a project is done in the context of 3 hours of 400:193, Research Experience in Psychology. Introduction to Psychology (400:008) is a prerequisite for all other psychology courses, and therefore must be taken by all majors and minors. It also counts as a liberal arts core requirement.
