Students may satisfy the second language requirement by demonstrating proficiency in a second language (determined by exam or by virtue of having attended high school internationally, in a school where instruction was in a language other than English).

Students will be awarded credit hours in accordance with the Department of English and Modern Languages’ equivalency determination. The maximum number of credit hours a student will receive is equivalent to the number of hours required by their degree program (major and/or minor).

Lyceums provide students the opportunity to discover culture and history, to engage in ethical conversations on current topics, to better understand themselves and the world around them, and to generally experience a broader world and to expand their thinking. These free events, offered both Fall and Spring semesters, take various forms, including lectures, panel discussions, plays, musical performances, research presentations, and skills development workshops, among others. Lyceums connect to a student’s classroom learning experience, amplify it, and expand it. Students are required to attend 24 Lyceum events over four years, distributed as follows:

Students who transfer in credit may be eligible for a reduced Lyceum requirement; students with transfer credits should refer to the transfer chart by visiting the Lyceum Page on the Wingate University website (www.wingate.edu/academics/special-programs/lyceum) and refer to the FAQ “I am a transfer student, how many Lyceum credits do I need?” Completion of the Lyceum series is required for both graduation and participation in Commencement. For additional clarification, please contact Ms. Keyua McElveen, Director of Lyceum, at lyceum@wingate.edu

Each student chooses a Major area of studies, which provides breadth and depth of skills in a distinct area of focus. Some students choose a major as the gateway to a particular career. For others the major is the foundation for further study in a graduate school. Some students choose a major to pursue their deepest interests and enhanced self-understanding. Within each major students will actively

• develop writing skills appropriate to the area of study,

• learn to use current technology within that field, and

• acquire skills in public speaking through oral presentations and defenses.

Note: When a requirement in the core may be met by one of several courses, certain majors may specify which courses will meet their requirements.

B Accalaureate M Ajors

Wingate University offers 37 majors at the baccalaureate level. Students choose at least one major. Requirements for majors are explained within their respective academic departments. The courses for a major may include introductory or basic prerequisite courses and higher level courses in the major discipline and/or related disciplines. Some majors permit or require a student to select an area of concentration that allows for more focus on a sub discipline within the major subject area.

A student may earn more than one major. Should a student pursue a second major, no more than two courses from the primary major can be counted toward the second major(s). A second major does not necessarily entail a second degree. The additional major(s) must be under the same degree program unless permission has been granted to earn more than one degree.

In some cases, a student may return to earn another major after having previously graduated.

‡Blank indicates the major has no associated concentration, emphasis, or track;†Licensure; *Requires provisional admission to the designated graduate program.

E Lectives

The student and advisor should carefully plan for electives that complement the desired major. Electives may be chosen from any course offered by the University provided prerequisites are met. A student should consult with his or her advisor in choosing electives that will meet degree and career objectives. Students may wish to use elective hours to fulfill the specific requirements of a minor. Classes at the 100/200 level are classified as general electives; classes at the 300/400 level are classified as advanced electives.

M Inors

To complement a major, students may choose a minor (minimum of 18 semester hours) in one of the below areas:

Accounting International Studies

Art

Art Therapy Management

Biology

Chemistry

Coaching

Communication

• Students who wish to pursue a minor should notify the Office of Academic Advising of this intent. The minor will not appear on the student’s transcript unless this declaration is made.

• A student who is following the requirements for a major outlined in a certain catalog year must follow the same catalog year for a minor.

B ADGES AND C ERTIFICATES

Wingate offers undergraduate students the option of adding a microcredential defined as a badge or certificate. These non-degree programs add expertise, increase technical skills, or lead to potential certification in a specific subject area or subdiscipline. Students are encouraged to add these programs to their academic records before they earn and/or transfer in a total of 83 credit hours (senior class level) at Wingate. To count credits for a badge or certificate program as degree applicable, students must have remaining elective hours in their degree program, or the badge or certificate must be required as part of the major.

A badge represents completion of a minimum of six (6) credit hours, typically two undergraduate courses. Wingate currently offers one badge program in Entrepreneurship.

• No more than two courses counted for a major may also be counted for a minor (except a biology/chemistry, a finance/accounting, a finance/economics, or a mathematicsbusiness/economics combination).

• No more than two courses counted for a minor can count toward another minor.

• No more than two courses counted for a major or minor may be counted toward a certificate.

• Students who wish to pursue a badge or certificate should notify the Registrar’s Office of this intent.

• A student who is following the requirements for a major outlined in an earlier catalog will have to change catalog years to add a new badge or certificate program.

D Efinition Of C Ertificate Versus C Ertification

There is a difference between a certificate and a certification. Certification requires passing an exam and awards a credential upon successful completion of exam (ex: PMP, GPHR, SPHR). Certification also may require recertification to stay current in a specific area. A certificate is a non-degreed credential that may be used to prepare for a certification or exam.
