Students of superior ability and attainment who are candidates for the B.A. and who are admitted to professional studies in Case Western Reserve University by the end of the junior year are offered an opportunity to shorten their entire course of studies by one year through the Senior Year in Professional Studies privilege. Application should be made during the second semester of the junior year through the Dean of Undergraduate Studies. This privilege is extended to students who are candidates for the B.A. and who attend the School of Dentistry, the School of Medicine, the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, or the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences of Case Western Reserve University.
A student granted the senior year in professional studies privilege is permitted
to substitute the work of the first year in a professional school for that required
during the last year in the undergraduate college. Upon the satisfactory completion
of the first year's work in the professional school, the student will be granted
the bachelor's degree from the College of Arts and Sciences. To be eligible for
the senior year in professional studies privilege, a student must:
- Be accepted for admission to professional studies in Case Western Reserve
University.
- Meet the following degree requirements:
- Completion of the Arts and Sciences General Education Requirements and
two semesters of physical education, unless excused from the latter.
- Completion of three-fourths of the courses required for the major, including
three-fourths of the courses required in the major department.
- Completion of 84 hours of arts and sciences courses. These credits
may be drawn from those offered by the College of Arts and Sciences as
well as those in economics, biochemistry, nutrition or computer science.
In addition to meeting all requirements listed above, students qualifying for the senior year in professional studies privilege must have completed at least 90 semester hours of academic credit, of which the final 60 hours must have been in residence. A student may include in that final 60 hours no more than six semester hours earned in courses completed in other institutions, either by cross registration in regular sessions or by approved transient registration in summer sessions. To obtain information on this program, contact Dean Lynmarie Hamel in the Office of Undergraduate Studies, Sears 357, lxh5@case.edu.
