It is expected that all students receiving a Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degree with a major in early childhood studies will develop knowledge and skills at the upper-division level related to:child development and learning;early childhood curriculum development and implementation;family and community relationships;assessment and evaluation of young children;professional and ethical issues in early childhood; andapplication of knowledge and skills within the context of an urban early childhood setting.This major is an excellent option for students transferring from a Minnesota State institution with a diploma or an associate degree in child development or early childhood education who seek a baccalaureate degree. Minnesota State’s Transfer Pathway for early childhood education and Metro State University's articulation agreements with Minnesota community and technical colleges streamline students’ completion of their degree in Early Childhood Studies. Courses are also open to non-majors.Careers and professional opportunitiesThe Early Childhood Studies BAS degree gives students the flexibility to demonstrate their commitment to young children’s development through work in a variety of early childhood settings as teachers, directors, trainers, and administrators.

Students design their own course of study with guidance from faculty in the initial course, PRSP 301 Perspectives: Educational Philosophy & Planning, creating well-balanced multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, or intradisciplinary Applied Science degrees.Multidisciplinary: means coursework is in more than one discipline in unrelated areas.Interdisciplinary: means coursework is in more than one discipline, but coursework is tied thematically (blending two distinct subject areas the extend across two or more colleges).Intradisciplinary: means coursework is all within the same discipline. In the College of Individualized Studies you would be designing your degree plan around an educational goal statement and self-designing a focus/concentration (terminology that is similar to a major) you would be creating a unique focus that is integrated thematically and includes study from many disciplines.Students also self-design focuses that are not found in any other area of the university that are unique to the student's personal, educational, and career aspirations. Your degree plan is a blue print for building your Individualized Studies BAS. Similar to a blue print, your degree plan sketches your overall vision of what you hope to build.If you are looking for an education that spans multiple subjects and professions, or an area in which Metro State does not offer a major, the College of Individualized Studies may be your academic home. The Individualized BAS degree program gives you the opportunity to: Focus your degree on your individual learning and careerCombine multiple subjects from across the university curriculumEarn credit for learning outside the classroomApply up to 80 Technical Program credits to your four-year degree To navigate the limitless possibilities of the individually designed academic experience, students are assigned academic advisors who assist them in their progress toward completion of the degree.

It works to extend the individual's reach beyond the sum total of all his/her parts,\" Akmed Khalifa, Master of Liberal Studies program graduate.The Master of Arts in Liberal Studies is a student-centered, interdisciplinary graduate program designed for individuals who have successfully completed a bachelor's degree. Admitted students progress from an introductory seminar through a series of team-taught courses to explore advanced liberal arts themes and issues through methodologies drawn from several disciplines. Students create major research projects aligned with their personal educational goals, and support and develop their work on these projects through a series of graduate-level supporting study courses or independent studies.For each student, the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies program culminates in the creation of a self-directed capstone project that draws from and builds upon the program as a whole. Metro State University's student-centered Master of Liberal Studies (MLS) program will enable you to broaden and deepen your knowledge of the liberal arts. Master of Liberal Studies coursework will enhance your potential for analysis, communication, multicultural understanding and research through interdisciplinary study within the liberal arts.In an era of information explosion and rapid global development, these liberal studies skills and knowledge will be applicable in your workplace, your community and your personal sphere. MLS graduates will broaden and deepen their store of knowledge through the specific liberal arts content of their MLS seminars, MLS Exploration, and MLS supporting study course work. MLS graduates will gain enhanced, graduate-level skills, which include:Research: locating and organizing informationAnalysis: critical thinking, source evaluationCommunication: writing, oral presentation, discussionMLS graduates will have succeeded in applying skills and knowledge within structured opportunities for self-directed research, employing interdisciplinary perspectives inclusive of diverse viewpoints and anchored in the liberal arts, leading to effective presentations of research within a student-centered community of motivated adult learners similarly engaged.The Master of Liberal Studies program will:Offer flexible scheduling, with all classes available on evenings or weekends.Offer courses for you to explore topics and issues from several liberal arts disciplines.Offer intensive faculty advising as you create an individualized plan of study aligned with your educational goals and interests in the liberal arts.Culminate in the creation of a self-directed capstone project drawing on interdisciplinary Master of Liberal Studies Program coursework, elective courses, or independent studies.Trajectory of coursesThe “MLS 600 Introductory Seminar” teaches methods of interdisciplinary inquiry through variable topics within which students craft individual projects. Arising from interactions with seminar team teachers and with other students, one of the seminar’s outcomes is analysis and refinement of each student’s educational objectives within the framework of MLS program resources. MLS 600 should be taken in a student’s first or second semester after admission. Following MLS 600, a student then selects at least three iterations of \"MLS 620: Master of Liberal Studies Exploration.\" Topics vary, but each MLS 620 encourages interdisciplinary inquiry with opportunities to pursue individual interests as these relate to the exploration's theme.For example, a student interested in world politics and economics might take an Exploration on the topic of globalism.Students also select 12 credits of supporting study at the 500G or higher level, which can include independent studies or internships. All MLS supporting study credits must be clearly relevant to the student's MLS program.A student may register for \"MLS 690 Master of Liberal Studies Capstone\" upon completion of MLS 600 and at least 24 credits in the Master of Liberal Studies program (at least 8 supporting study credits, and at least 8 credits in MLS 620's); and with an approved Capstone Project Proposal. The MLS 690 Capstone revolves around the final revisions and completion of students' self-directed capstone projects.Academic advisingSince its founding, Metro State University has emphasized a student-centered educational philosophy, with strong faculty involvement in advising. For MLS students, advising occurs in several ways.One is embedded in \"MLS 600 Introductory Seminar,\" where students articulate their MLS educational objectives.Each MLS student will also be assigned a graduate faculty advisor, who can advise students towards appropriate course selection, and also help to arrange creative learning strategies, including customized independent studies and internships.As a student nears completion of the MLS, the advisor also helps with the appointment of a faculty reader from a discipline related to the student's evolving capstone project.

It is the most ancient of the academic disciplines, with sources from around the world dating back thousands of years.The philosophy major is designed to develop your ability to think clearly, carefully, constructively, and critically about a wide range of issues including questions about:what is real (and what merely fictional or mythical): Does God exist? Am I just a material body, or am I also an immaterial soul? Are humans free and therefore responsible for what they do, or are they determined by forces beyond their control? Are race and/or gender socially constructed, or do they reflect biological realities?values: What makes an action right, a person good, a painting beautiful, or a nation just? Are standards of value universal or culturally specific?knowledge: What is the difference between knowing something and simply having an opinion or belief about it? Are there limits to what we can know, and do some of our questions foolishly violate these limits? Is all knowledge ultimately grounded in sensory experience or can some truths be known through reason alone?philosophy itself: Is philosophical truth universal, or is it merely cultural and relative to time and place? Do the same laws of logic and reason apply everywhere or do they differ from one culture to the next? Is philosophy practiced in the same way across the world, or are there importantly different conceptions of philosophy and its methods?Philosophical questions can be pursued out of simple curiosity (and the encounter with new ways of thinking can be exhilarating for its own sake), but the philosophy instructors at Metro State are convinced that the main value of philosophy is to enable us to lead richer lives and to make the world a better place.CareersThe study of philosophy helps a person to develop their abilities to:Read texts carefully, closely, accurately, and sympatheticallyAnalyze positions and arguments fairly and criticallyUncover unstated and unexamined assumptions in arguments— – both one’s own and others’Construct cogent and persuasive arguments for one’s positionWrite and speak in a manner that is simple, natural, clear, and persuasive.See an issue from more than one point of view and value dialogue with others.These skills are useful in many fields —careers in law, computer science, business, medicine, criminal justice, the arts, publishing, and many more all value the skills developed by the study of philosophy. People with philosophy degrees can be found in nearly every line of work, and their analytic skills and mental flexibility often help them to excel.A Case for Majoring in PhilosophyThe Unexpected Way Philosophy Majors are Changing the World of BusinessIs Philosophy the Most Practical Major?In a New Generation of College Students, Many Opt for the Life ExaminedThe Rise in Stock of Philosophy GraduatesPhilosophers Find the Degree Pays Off in Life And in Work", "course_ids": [ "PHIL 204", "PHIL 303", "PHIL 306", "PHIL 352", "PHIL 362", "PHIL 364", "PHIL 365", "PHIL 366", "PHIL 375", "PHIL 376", "PHIL 378", "PHIL 379", "PHIL 499", "PHIL 100", "PHIL 102", "PHIL 105", "PHIL 106", "PHIL 107", "PHIL 301", "PHIL 302", "PHIL 308", "PHIL 310", "PHIL 334", "PHIL 354", "PHIL 360I", "PHIL 320", "PHIL 321", "PHIL 327" ], "documents": [], "source_url": "https://www.metrostate.edu/academics/programs/philosophy-ba", "canonical_url": "/metrostate/programs/metrostate-philosophy-ba", "markdown_url": "/metrostate/programs/metrostate-philosophy-ba.md" }, { "id": "metrostate-philosophy-minor", "name": "Philosophy Minor", "credential": null, "credentials": [], "length_months": null, "length_text": "9 credits", "campuses": [], "delivery": [], "start_dates": [], "tuition_domestic": null, "tuition_international": null, "ocas_code": null, "apply_url": null, "prerequisites": [], "description": "The Philosophy minor allows students to explore questions about knowledge, value, meaning, and reality, and to develop and improve their capacities for analysis, reflection, careful reading, and clear writing.

Share your passion for learning and make a difference in the lives of urban youth. Empower yourself with the content knowledge, multicultural teaching skills, urban field experiences, and professionalism you need to give urban secondary students a high-quality, equitable education. The Urban Secondary Education licensure program within the School of Urban Education (UED) is designed to meet the needs of urban middle and high schools for teachers who can improve students' educational achievement. The UED prepares prospective secondary teachers who can use their understanding of diverse urban learners and communities along with content knowledge and build on the talents and resiliency of their students for success in school and life. Our approach to teacher education focuses on preparing diverse, reflective and resilient teachers who are outstanding in their commitment to teaching urban youth and creating equitable educational opportunities. More than any other program in Minnesota, we attract more teacher candidates who are of color, multilingual, low-income or \"\"first generation\"\" into teaching careers who can relate to the experiences of culturally and linguistically diverse urban youth and their communities. The UED partners with departments in the College of Liberal Arts and College of Sciences that provide the content area knowledge for teaching in a particular subject area and house the departments that offer the following four majors: English for Teaching (BS) Learn the content to teach writing, reading, literature, speech communication, and media literacy to students in grades 5-12.
