Study of Arts and Science Today, the most common undergraduate degrees given are the
Bachelor of Arts (Artium Baccalaureus) and the Bachelor of Science (Scientiæ
Baaccalaureate). Originally, in the universities of Oxford and Cambridge all
undergraduate degrees were in the Faculty of Arts, hence the degree of Bachelor
of Arts. Since the late 19th century, most universities in the English-speaking
world have followed the practice of the University of London in dividing
undergraduate degree subjects into the two broad categories of arts and
sciences, awarding the degree of Bachelor of Science to students of the latter
category of subjects. In the United States, many colleges (particularly what are known
as "liberal arts colleges") and universities award the BA for all
"academic" subjects (whether English literature or chemistry) — often
these colleges and colleges within universities only offer academic (rather
than pre-professional) courses. Schools that have professional training
("Police Science", "Finance", "Nursing", and so
on) often reserve the BS degree for these subjects. Some schools award the BA
for humanities academic courses and the BS for courses in the physical
sciences; in some cases a student may choose between a BA course of study and a
BS course of study in the same subject at the same college. A degree from the College of Arts & Sciences
is designed to give students a relatively broad background while allowing
concentrated study in two disciplines. This is accomplished through group
requirements, the selection of a major and minor, and the opportunity to select
electives. Students formally declare a major and minor when they enter the
College. They must file a degree application (available from the College
office) upon completion of 90 hours. A list of courses required for graduation
is then sent to the student. The student is solely responsible for being
familiar with and completing all graduation requirements. Loyola College Loyola is a college where we do not merely INFORM knowledge, but FORM the character of our students.
