The School of Applied Arts and Technology functions within the mission of the university. Specifically the School exists for the purpose of preparing undergraduate and graduate students for careers through programs of high quality in academic, professional, and technical areas; serves as an advocate for change in professional areas represented by the various programs; and serves as a catalyst to increase the public's perception of the goals of the School.
The School of Applied Arts and Technology offers five undergraduate degrees: (a) Bachelor of Science in Agriculture; (b) Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice; (c) Bachelor of Science in Family and Consumer Sciences; (d) Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences; and (e) Bachelor of Science in Technology. In addition, the Departments of Aerospace Studies and Military Science prepare students for commissioning in the United States Air Force, United States Army, United States Army Reserves, or Army National Guard.
The School offers a number of internship courses that have minimum entrance requirements. A copy of the requirements is available from the Office of the Dean or any department office in the School. The courses provide opportunities for students to further their education in an external environment.
Fourteen undergraduate majors (several with specialized options) are offered by four departments within the School:
Agriculture: agricultural business and management, animal science, general agriculture (without certification), general agriculture (with certification to teach)
Criminal Justice: law enforcement, corrections, criminal justice
Family and Consumer Sciences: family and consumer sciences (with consumer science option and teacher certification option), family and child development, fashion merchandising, interior design, nutrition and foods
Technology: industrial technology, engineering technology, applied arts and sciences
Programs leading to teacher certification are available in the Departments of Agriculture, Family and Consumer Sciences, and Technology.
Many courses offered in the School have prerequisites that must be completed before enrolling in a specific course. Students are strongly encouraged to seek academic counseling from their major advisor prior to enrolling in any course or program of study.
Credit by exam, CLEP, DANTES and other similar proficiency examinations satisfy degree requirements in the same way as credit earned by passing courses except that they do not count as credit earned in residence and cannot be taken within the last 30 hours of study.
No more than six (6) semester credit hours of major courses beyond those that apply toward the major will count for credit toward graduation. Hours of major work beyond the six (6) semester credit hours will be treated as non-credit. These hours, however, will be a part of the cumulative SWT GPA if they have been taken at SWT.
Students who have earned at least 60 semester hours at SWT are eligible to graduate with honors if they have a minimum SWT GPA of 3.40.
