2004-05 Greenville College Catalog

About the Catalog

ABOUT THE CATALOG

This catalog contains information about Greenville College that is current at the time it is printed. It is a guide for students who enter the College for the first time during the 2004-2005 academic year. It should help them in their planning across their years at Greenville College. Students should regularly consult the catalog as they prepare to register for courses and as they choose and plan how they will complete their degree requirements.

The provisions and requirements stated in the Greenville College Catalog do not constitute a contract between the student and Greenville College. Programs occasionally change, courses are added or deleted from the curriculum, and policies are altered. Students who interrupt their education by a period of more than four years who then return to Greenville College must comply with the provisions and requirements in place upon their return. If professional certification requirements change during the time students are absent from the College, they must meet the requirements in place upon their return, even if they have been absent for less than four years. The College will make every effort to match those courses already completed with new requirements. However, when equivalent courses are not found, students will be required to take additional coursework in order to complete the degree.

The College reserves the right to cancel any announced course, change the instructor, or change the time it will be offered. The College reserves the right to change any provision or requirement at any time within the student's terms of residence. No such change, however, will be applied retroactively so as to extend the time normally required for completion of the student's program.

Using the Catalog

The catalog is divided into three major sections. The first includes an introduction to Greenville College. This introduction details our purpose, educational and theological foundations, and other information helpful for anyone wanting to learn about our orientation to education.

The second section gives details on the Traditional Undergraduate Program. The traditional program is a four-year undergraduate program in which students can seek to major in more than 50 academic disciplines.

The final section includes information on Greenville College's Adult and Graduate Studies Programs. The College offers an undergraduate degree completion program, GOAL (Greenville College Opportunities for Adult Learning), for adults who have completed at least two years of college. All students who complete the requirements of the GOAL program earn a bachelor's degree in organizational leadership. The College also offers three graduate programs. The LAMP (Leadership and Ministry Program) leads to a master of arts degree. Our MAT and MAE programs are both in the area of teacher training. The MAT (Master of Arts in Teaching) program trains students who seek a certificate to teach at the early childhood, elementary, or secondary level. The MAE (Master of Arts in Education) program provides a master's degree in education for people who already have teaching certificates.
