English
Students majoring in English or English and education might like to look over the summer schedule. The Engllish Department offers a wide range of courses at all levels, both online and seated, to help you catch up, meet New Paltz requirement, or get a jump on the fall semester. These courses will fulfill a number of specific major requirements, as well as several GE and Writing Intensive (WI) requirements. Contact the English Department at 845-257-2720 with any questions.
Geography
GEO273 Physical Geography (needed for both Geography majors and Elementary Education Majors)
History
Transfer students in the Education program (especially Elementary Education) who major in history often need summer courses to complete their programs of study within two years (four semester) after transfer with an Associate's degree. The History department does not count Western or World Civilization toward the major, and the State of New York requires that all Elementary Ed/History majors complete 18 credits (6 courses) at the upper-level (300 or above). Since your last semester is spent student teaching, that means that you may have many History classes to take at New Paltz, and it is often difficult for students to do well in more than three History classes per term because of the heavy reading/writing requirements. Therefore, we suggest that you consider taking upper-level courses (300 level or above) during the summer. Please contact Professor Susan Lewis, Interim Chair (lewiss@newpaltz.edu) for advice on which courses to take.
Philosophy/Religious Studies
The Philosophy Department and Religious Studies Program offer two courses in Summer 2012 that incoming philosophy majors can count toward their major as electives: PHI 120: Introduction to Philosophy: Classics and REL 270: Religions of the World. Please note that philosophy students can count at most one REL (Religious Studies) course toward their majors. (REL 393: Sacred Spaces does not count toward the philosophy major).
Psychology
The Psychology department offers a summer version of Internship (PSY 497) which allows a student to attend concentrated class sessions at the start and end of the session, and then allows a student to intern at an appropriate placement that is geographically accommodating for the student (i.e., you can do the actual internship at home - or wherever - it need not be near New Paltz).
We also will offer PSY498, Seminar in Psychology, which is a required course completing the major (Research Methods (PSY311) is a prerequisite).
We will also offer a number of undergraduate courses, mostly online, that will count toward many of the content and elective components of our major (see: http://www.newpaltz.edu/psychology/psychology-major-plan-539-11-11.pdf).
Don't hesitate to contact the department chair (Glenn Geher: geherg@newpaltz.edu) with any questions - and have a great summer!
Sociology
Dear Sociology Transfer Student,
While getting access to sociology classes for the spring semester may be difficult this year, I encourage you to consider taking some summer session courses in order to ensure progress towards the completion of the major. Most summer session courses are offered online in order to make them convenient for any schedule. There are also a variety of both introductory and upper division courses. Without any prerequsites you can take Introduction to Sociology or Social Inequality in the United States, both of which are core requirements for all majors. You can also take Crime and Society, which is required of all student in the Criminology Concentration and Introduction to Human Services, which is a requirement for students in the Human Services Concentration (these courses fulfill sociology electige requirements for students who are not in a concentration). Those have already taken an introdutory class can also take Sociology of Families or Organizations and Work, both of whcih fulfill Sociology elective requirements.
