Dear advisors,

I wanted to draw your attention to a new course for spring that is in the final stages of approval and therefore might be hard to find in the catalog. Business Applications of GIS is based in Geography & GIs and cross-listed with BADM, but it has broad applicability across a number of fields of study.

Spring 2016 GEOG 479 – Kwan

Dear Campus UG Advising Community,

The Department of Speech and Hearing Science is pleased to renew our commitment to offering our American Sign Language sequence. In addition to SHS 222 (Language and Culture of Deaf Communities), we anticipate offering several sections of American Sign Language (ASL)  each semester distributed as follows:

Spring 2016:

5 sections of SHS 121 (ASL I), 3 sections of SHS 321 (ASL 3)

Fall 2016:

6 sections of SHS 121 (ASL I), 4 sections of SHS 221 (ASL 2)

Spring 2017:

4 sections of SHS 121 (ASL I), 3 sections of SHS 221 (ASL 2), 3 sections of SHS 321 (ASL 3)

Fall 2017:

5 sections of SHS 121 (ASL 1), 3 sections of SHS 221 (ASL 2), 2 sections of SHS 321 (ASL 3)

American Sign Language course offerings

The specific number of sections each semester may shift depending on student needs. However, our current intent is to continue providing this valuable cultural-linguistic experience for students, both within and outside SHS, and to provide an option for meeting the foreign language requirement through a visual language.

Please note that SHS 222 remains a pre- or co-requisite for SHS 121 for those students (unless the student has prior consent of the instructor). At present, we plan to continue offering SHS 222 both the Fall and Spring terms.
