3 courses. Harvest read no subject for these courses. That is a gap in our reading of the catalog, not in the college's catalog; each course is shown as we hold it until the reading is fixed.
Credit for Prior Learning Experiences
Batten University follows the guidelines set forth by the American Council on Education (ACE) when granting credit for educational experiences in the armed services. Veterans should submit an appropriate transcript (such as a Joint Services Transcript). Credit awarded must be equivalent to courses offered at Batten University or logical extensions thereof and is subject to review by faculty in the relevant academic field.
CLS is a contract major: there is no fixed course list. Students design an individualized 44-hour program across three academic schools, in consultation with a faculty advisor and the CLS Director. The contract must include a course list, a declaration essay articulating the major's unifying theme, and a statement showing how oral communication and computer proficiency requirements will be met. The contract is approved by both the advisor and the CLS Director, and may be renegotiated if listed courses become unavailable. A reflective essay reviewing the major's goals and themes is required in the final semester, along with the final written project from the WES 300 seminar (whether or not WES 300 counts toward the major) for assessment purposes.
As part of Batten University’s partnership with NATO-ACT, students may apply to intern at NATO’s Innovation Hub in Norfolk, Virginia. The Innovation Hub drives creative thinking and emerging concepts across NATO, overseeing a wide range of projects where students from virtually any academic background can contribute.
