MAJOR PROGRAMS
A major is a student’s primary area of study and may be divided into an emphasis area that consists of a core area of study plus selected topical courses related to the emphasis area. Each major is designed to enable a student to develop competence in a specific academic field of interest and builds on the knowledge and skills developed in the core courses required of all students. Courses in the general education core may or may not count as part of the major and are indicated within each major’s requirements. Only 12 credits in one declared major may count toward a second declared major.
The
Our commitments are the following:
·
To guide students in the
pursuit of intellectual growth and the development of
critical thinking skills.
·
To support the personal and
creative development of our students through close
interaction with professors.
·
To prepare our students for
professional endeavors or advanced study at the
graduate level.
·
To foster understanding of
the significance of the visual arts within broader
cultural contexts.

The focus of the Criminal Justice Major is to critically evaluate
the dynamic and ever changing field of the criminal justice system from a
scientific and interdisciplinary perspective. Students study all of the
components that make-up the criminal justice system, as well as various types
of individuals involved in order to develop a well-rounded exposure to its
various aspects. Adults, juveniles, offenders, victims, and workers are all
part of the criminal justice system and require in-depth analysis to understand
the impact the criminal justice system has on the individual and society as a
whole. Criminal Justice majors are encouraged to develop oral and written
communication, critical thinking, and researching skills to prepare themselves
better for a career in their chosen areas of the criminal justice system.
Students who meet the requirements are encouraged to take part in internship
opportunities to understand better the daily operations of a criminal justice
agency. Students interested in pursuing graduate education in Criminal Justice,

The major in English offers students the opportunity to direct
their talents and
interests toward a variety of academic and vocational goals by pursuing the
following emphases:
·
The creative writing
emphasis hones students’ abilities as poets, fiction writers, and/ or authors
of creative nonfiction.
·
The interdisciplinary
studies emphasis enables students to pursue a passion outside the discipline of
English, using it as a centerpiece for their scholarly and creative work. Possible
interest areas include art, music, history, pre-law, natural science,
psychology, religion and philosophy, etc.
·
The journalism/professional
communication emphasis prepares students for a variety of career opportunities
in technical writing, editing, or mass communications.
·
The literature emphasis
invites students to read broadly in expressions of the human condition
portrayed through British, American, and world literatures, gaining the liberal
arts skills and knowledge required to understand more fully “the human heart in
conflict with itself.” It also prepares students for teacher licensure in
English at the high school level, as well as for graduate study and possible
college level teaching.

The History major enables students to achieve high academic
standards. Specifically, majors in
History are expected to 1) demonstrate effective group work and oral
presentation skills; 2) practice skills of effective historical research,
writing, and documentation, showing a mastery of context, continuity and
change, and historical argument; 3) identify and analyze significant events in
ancient and modern Western civilization, American history, and modern global
history; 4) appreciate history and its role in creating and critiquing cultural
memory in the public domain; and 5) lead productive professional lives using
the skills they learned as History majors at Brevard College.
History alumni of this program have gone on to graduate programs
in history, law school, high school teaching, the Peace Corps, law enforcement,
and business. Students usually choose one of three paths for their study: a
history major with a Pre-Law minor; a history major with Teacher Licensure in
Social Studies; or a history major with focused studies in Art History and
Archaeology, Environmental history, Modern American history, or Modern European
history. The flexible design of this major also provides ample room for a minor
in another field or even a double major.

The mission of the music department is to foster the creative,
intellectual, and spiritual growth of students by instilling a commitment to
artistic and personal excellence within a vital community of learners. Our
goals for every music student are to develop technical facility and musicality
in solo and ensemble performance, to develop facility with music notations
including notation software, to sharpen analytical skills of performed and
written music, and to increase their understanding of music history and
compositional styles.
The music department provides applied
instruction, classes, and ensembles for students enrolled in the three music
degree programs and for interested students throughout the college. The
Bachelor of Arts degree option is designed for those students whose wish is to
be broadly educated in the liberal arts and in music. The Bachelor of Arts in
Music Education prepares students for licensure in public school music K-12 and
for further study at the graduate level. The Bachelor of Music in Performance
degree provides intensive study in music for talented students preparing for
professional careers. While all prospective students must pass an
audition/interview for acceptance into the music program as majors, the foundation
requirements in the first-year curriculum make no distinction among the
principal programs (B.A. in Music, B.A. in Music Education, or Bachelor of
Music in Performance). The Department of Music at

which they live and are encouraged to be active, engaged, tolerant and
service-oriented citizens. Likewise students are trained to be informed
consumers of psychological information and services through a programmatic
emphasis on psychological literacy , and a fundamental
emphasis on psychological research and literature. The major is designed with
an intensive skills training component and early career path exploration.
Together with their advisors, students concentrate their studies on their most
likely career choice. Students are guided toward careers in Clinical/
Counseling Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Social Psychology, Applied
Psychology; and Cognitive Psychology. The program also provides opportunities
for research with faculty members and offers a senior capstone that provides an
examination of the state of the discipline. Seniors are also encouraged to
participate in internship/fieldwork opportunities.

WILDERNESS LEADERSHIP AND
EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION
The Wilderness Leadership and Experiential Education program
delivers an innovative, intensive and experiential curriculum. The mission of
the program is to promote the development of strong leaders and teachers
capable of effectively managing a variety of outdoor experiences for a wide
range of audiences in various and dynamic environments. The program is grounded
in the theory and principles of leadership and experiential education and is
rich with opportunity for application. Embedded within a liberal arts
educational community, the program embraces the many opportunities to enrich
each student’s experience through interdisciplinary study. It fosters in each
student qualities of responsibility and independent thought, respect for
others, the spirit of collaboration, awareness of our environmental and
cultural connections, and a commitment to life-long service and learning.
The Immersion Semester
One of the most unique
components of our program is the Immersion Semester, during which 10 students
are enrolled in 6 inter-related courses under the direction of one faculty
member. Students apply, and their acceptance is based upon the quality of
applications, academic record and contributions to the campus community, as
well as their commitment to professional development. Students accepted to the
semester are immersed in many experiences intentionally designed to
cooperatively develop their technical outdoor skills and most critically,
fine-tune their teaching and leadership abilities. There are many opportunities
to observe outstanding leaders and teachers in the field and to experiment with
teaching and leadership skills. As a part of a functioning group, students
experience and process the group dynamics that they study in theory. The
Immersion Semester highlights include an 8-day Wilderness First Responder
Course, many daily field experiences and approximately 35 overnight field days,
including a 6-day trip sea kayaking on the coast, 3-day caving trip, and a
21-day wilderness expedition.
