Students then make formal application for admission to the last three years, which includes 62 hours of athletic training courses. When a student applies for admission and is accepted, the student is then classified as an Athletic Training major. Transfer students are evaluated on an individual basis and substitutions made at the discretion of the Athletic Training Program faculty based on Accreditation standards and guidelines. The number of students accepted into the program is limited, making the application process competitive. Students seeking admission to the program must have a 2.50 cumulative grade point average. The application process includes the following:  completion of a formal application, which includes three letters of recommendation;  successful completion of ATHT 3570 and ATHT 3580 and BIOL 2010/BIOL 2011 with a minimum grade of B- in each;  successful completion of pre-program clinical observations as part of ATHT 3570;  successful completion of pre-program clinical proficiencies;

 

successful completion of a minimum of 24 credit hours; interview with Athletic Training program admission committee.

This document is attached to the program application form and is in the Athletic Training education program manual. Once a student is admitted, he/she must follow a prescribed course of study, which includes both academic and clinical courses. Students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.50. Students must achieve a B- or better in all ATHT courses and a C- or better in BIOL 2020/BIOL 2021; NFS 1240; EXSC 4240, EXSC 4260, EXSC 4830 ; and the natural sciences to continue in the program. If a student does not achieve a B- or better in an ATHT course and a C- or better in the above courses he/she must retake the course. Only admitted students are allowed to register for athletic training clinical courses (ATHT 3000, ATHT 3001, ATHT 3002, ATHT 3003, ATHT 4430, ATHT 4950, and ATHT 4990). These courses require a structured clinical rotation under an approved clinical instructor/supervisor. Clinical courses provide the student with a variety of athletic training experiences including contact-collision, collision, and non-contact sports for males and females in the collegiate, high school, and professional sport environment. Students also take a practicum (ATHT 4430) in athletic training at the completion of their junior year, which requires a clinical rotation in a non-traditional sport environment (i.e., sports medicine clinic, physical therapy clinic). Students must complete all clinical courses with a minimum grade of B- or better. If a student fails to get a minimum grade of B-, the student cannot matriculate on to the next clinical course. The student will be on leave from the clinical portion of the program for one year. The student can, however, continue taking academic coursework that does not require clinical courses as co-requisites or prerequisites upon approval of the program director. A student must successfully pass ATHT 3000 ATHT 3001, ATHT 3002, and ATHT 3003 with a B- or better before continuing on to ATHT 4950 and the semi-independent field experience. Matriculation and progression each year in the Athletic Training program depends on successful completion of a comprehensive written and oral examination scoring 80 percent or better. The exam is given at the end of the spring semester of the first and second year. Each student will be given three attempts to successfully complete these exams; failure to score 80 percent or higher after three attempts will result in remediation. The student must meet with the athletic training program faculty and the designation of specific course work will be identified for the student to retake in order to learn and master the material. MTSU College of Behavioral and Health Sciences 393

Students must have a minimum overall GPA of 2.50 to graduate from the program. Upon successful completion of the program, graduates are awarded a B.S. in Athletic Training and become eligible to sit for the Board of Certification Examination (BOC) for the Athletic Trainer.

An application form must be submitted to the Interior Design program during the Spring semester prior to beginning the professional course sequence. See application for final submission date. Transcript validation of all prerequisite courses must be on file in the MTSU Records Office. A cumulative undergraduate college grade point average of 2.50 is required for beginning eligibility. Applicants must have no grade less than a C (2.00) in any prerequisite and General Education course by the end of Spring semester for those entering the professional sequence the following Fall. Scores from a standardized examination (ACT/SAT) along with the college grade point average will be used to rank candidates for progression to the professional sequence. Students must attain a minimum grade of C (2.00) in all Interior Design courses. Students will be dismissed from the Interior Design major if they a. commit a breach of ethics or gross professional negligence, b. fail to progress due to unsuccessful attainment of requirements. Students who fail to progress will be readmitted on a space-available basis. Only one readmission for failure to progress will be allowed. Students admitted from other interior design programs in which a grade of D (less than 2.00) was made in interior design will not be readmitted. If a student receives a D or F in an Interior Design course at MTSU, he/she must repeat that course at MTSU. Transfer credits for IDES courses will only be accepted from CIDA accredited programs.

Textiles, Merchandising, and Design, Apparel Design Concentration, B.S. Department of Human Sciences The major in Textiles, Merchandising, and Design leads to entry-level career opportunities in fashion-related industries and requires the selection of one concentration from the two available: Apparel Design and Fashion Merchandising. Textiles, Merchandising, and Design majors and minors must earn a grade of C or higher in all TXMD courses. Students earning a D or F will be required to repeat the course before being allowed to advance in the program. The Textiles, Merchandising, and Design program consists of four academic years. Students enter the program as Textiles, Merchandising, and Design majors or minors and must complete the first two semesters of the Textiles, Merchandising, and Design curriculum consisting of General Education courses and Textiles, Merchandising, and Design prerequisites. Students then apply for admission to the last six semesters of the Textiles, Merchandising, and Design professional sequence of courses. When a student applies for admission to the last six semesters and is accepted and becomes enrolled, he/she is then classified as a TXMD major or minor admitted to the program and can then progress in required TXMD courses. The number of students accepted into the TXMD program is limited, making the application process competitive. Textiles, Merchandising, and Design students enrolled in the University and pursuing the first two semesters of the curriculum should maintain a minimum 2.50 cumulative grade point average and are required to earn no less than a C (2.00) in any prerequisite course. A concentration in Apparel Design allows the student to prepare for entry-level positions in the growing area of design, pattern making, and manufacturing. In addition to the major and concentration, a minor in Art, Entertainment Arts Design, Entrepreneurship, French, Mass Communication (any area of MC study), or Spanish is required.

Applicants must have no grade less than a C (2.00) in any prerequisite and General Education course by the end of Spring semester for those entering the Professional Course Sequence during the following Fall semester. Scores from a standardized examination (ACT/SAT) along with the college grade point average will be used to rank candidates for progression to the Professional Course Sequence. Students must attain a minimum grade of C (2.00) in all Textiles, Merchandising, and Design courses. Students may repeat a course only once to earn a minimum grade of C (2.00). Students may repeat a maximum of two course (major or prerequisite). Failure of more than two sequence or prerequisite courses will result in dismissal from the program. A failing grade is defined as receiving a grade of less than C (2.00). Students will be dismissed from the Textiles, Merchandising, and Design major if they a. commit a breach of ethics or gross professional negligence, b. fail to progress due to unsuccessful attainment of requirements. Students who fail to progress will be readmitted on a space-available basis. Only one readmission for failure to progress will be allowed. c. For transfer students who are admitted into the TXMD program, a grade of D/F from another school counts as the first “failing” attempt and the next incidence of D/F, in any major and/or prerequisite course at MTSU, counts as the second incident, thus resulting in dismissal from the program. (See item 7 above.) If a student receives a D or F in a Textiles, Merchandising, and Design course at MTSU, he/she must repeat that course at MTSU. Readmission to the program for any returning TXMD major who left the University in good standing will be granted on a space-available basis. Further specific details regarding admission and progression are available from the coordinator of the Textiles, Merchandising, and Design program.

Nursing, B.S.N. School of Nursing The Nursing Program consists of four academic years. Students enter the program as pre-nursing majors and must complete the first three semesters of a pre-nursing curriculum consisting of General Education courses and nursing prerequisites. Students then apply for admission to the last five semesters which include 71 semester hours of upperdivision nursing courses. When a student applies for admission to the last five semesters and is accepted and becomes enrolled, he/she is then classified as a Nursing major. The number of students accepted into the nursing courses is limited, making the application process competitive. Upon successful completion of the program, graduates are awarded the B.S.N. and become eligible to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) for Registered Nurse (RN) licensure. Pre-nursing students enrolled in the University and pursuing the first three semesters of the curriculum should maintain a minimum 2.80 cumulative grade point average and are required to earn no less than a C (2.00) in any prerequisite course. Nursing clinicals may be offered in evening, night, or weekend shifts.

The Pre-graduate School concentration is designed for students intending to apply for Ph.D. or master's programs. A minor in Psychology is also available. In addition, the Department of Psychology offers a major and a minor in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. The Industrial/Organizational Psychology major leads to a Bachelor of Science degree. Additional specialized minors are offered in Mental Health Services, Life Span Development, and Neuroscience. The department also participates in the interdisciplinary Behavioral Research Minor. A student with both a major and a specialty minor in the Department of Psychology cannot use the same coursework for more than one program. In no case can a single course be used to satisfy requirements in more than one program; for this reason, psychology majors cannot also choose the psychology minor. Consultation with the assigned advisor is recommended before each registration. Students may access the name of their advisor on the department website. Students who have ever taken a course at another university will be assigned a department transfer advisor.

Transfer Credit Middle Tennessee State University accepts all transfer college credit from institutions of higher learning. After transcripts from other institutions are evaluated, applicants are notified by email to review the transfer evaluation online. The transfer evaluation is available to the applicant identifying how transfer courses were equated to MTSU courses. Applicants should meet with an advisor in the Jones College for assistance in identifying which courses apply toward a business degree and to determine if prerequisite courses and grade point average requirements have been met for full admission into the college. Some transfer credits may not meet specific course requirements. Students from other State of Tennessee institutions following Universal Transfer Paths are encouraged to seek advice from a Jones College advisor as early as possible to assure a smooth transfer and application of credits earned. The Jones College permits a lower-division transfer course to satisfy a specific upper-division business course requirement after a student successfully passes an MTSU comprehensive examination on the course under consideration. Approval to take a comprehensive exam is granted by the department chair. The decision is based on a review of the educational background of the student to assess the probability that the student has gained enough knowledge from a similar course or courses to be likely to pass the exam. A proficiency level of 70 percent or higher must be attained to pass such an exam. A copy of the exam results will be retained in the department office. When a student passes Jones College of Business 512

such an exam, the department chair will recommend a course substitution using the lower-division transfer course or courses to meet an upper-division course requirement. Students may attempt the test two times provided at least four months have passed since the last test was attempted.

Zietz, J. Zietz The mission of the Department of Economics and Finance is to teach students the foundations of economics and finance theory and methodology with a global perspective on markets and the institutional environment. The department offers programs which lead to the B.B.A. degree with majors in either Economics or Finance through the Jennings A. Jones College of Business and to the B.S. degree with a major in Economics through the College of Liberal Arts. The Economics major program studies how society allocates scarce resources and comprises two partsmicroeconomics and macroeconomics. Microeconomics studies individual firms and consumers and models the decisions they make in various types of markets and other institutional settings. Macroeconomics examines national income, growth, unemployment, and prices that result from the interaction of microeconomic agents. Economics majors may select a concentration in Labor Relations. The Finance major program focuses on the financial sectors of modern economies. Students are provided analytical foundations and an introduction to financial processes and institutions. Finance majors may select a concentration in Business Finance, Financial Institution Management, Insurance, or Real Estate. Students majoring in Economics and Finance are well prepared for careers in the private business sector, for public government service, and for graduate studies in business and law. Minors are offered in Economics, Industrial Relations, Economics/Finance, Finance, Real Estate, Insurance, and Real Estate/Insurance. The department houses the Weatherford Chair of Finance and the Martin Chair of Insurance. Holders of the two chairs are charged with promoting study leading to careers in financial institution management and insurance, respectively.

Graduate Study The Master of Arts and Ph.D. degrees are offered in Economics. Degree requirements and a list of the courses offered for graduate credit may be found in the Graduate Catalog.
