Utah State University The academic advantages of a large university together with the friendliness of a small college are offered at Utah State University. With a student body of more than 23,000, USU recognizes that the needs of the individual are of major importance, and many programs have been established to give the student the optimum of individual attention. With 44 departments in eight academic colleges, a School of Graduate Studies, University Extension, and several research programs, Utah State University offers an excellent opportunity for students to study a wide range of subjects. USU was founded in 1888 as part of the public educational system of Utah and operates under the constitution and laws of the state. It belongs to the family of institutions known as land-grant universities, which had their origin in 1862. The institution was originally called the Agricultural College of Utah, later becoming Utah State Agricultural College. The state legislature designated the name change to Utah State University in 1957. A sixteen-member State Board of Regents governs the Utah state system of higher education. This board has the responsibility for state-wide master planning for higher education, assignment of roles to the several institutions in the state system, and control of operating and capital budgets for the institutions. USU has a

ten-member Board of Trustees which is responsible for implementing the assigned roles, including the appointment of personnel and the enactment of rules and governing regulations. USU is governed by the State Board of Regents and accredited by Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges, National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, American Psychological Association, American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences, the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business, Utah State Board of Education—Teacher Education Program, Council on Rehabilitation Education, Accrediting Board of Engineering and Technology, American Society of Landscape Architects, Commission on Accreditation —Council on Social Work Education, American Chemical Society, Society of American Foresters, National League of Nursing Accrediting Commission, Council on Academic Accreditation of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), American Dietetic Association, Foundation for Interior Design, Education, and Research, National Association of Schools of Music, Utah State Board of Vocational Education, and the Society for Range Management. USU is a land-grant and a Carnegie Foundation “Doctoral/Research University-Extensive” institution. Credit earned at USU is fully transferable to other universities and colleges in the United States of America.

Utah State University Mission Statement Utah State University integrates teaching, research, extension, and service to meet its unique role as Utah’s land-grant university.

USU is committed to preparing students to serve the people of Utah, the nation, and the world. USU provides nationally and internationally acclaimed programs of basic and applied research. USU engages in research to

further the quest for knowledge and to help society meet its scientific, technological, environmental, economic, and social challenges. Outreach to Utah’s citizens through extension and service programs is central to the University’s mission. The University’s outreach programs provide to individuals, communities, institutions, and industries throughout the state, services that help improve technology, the environment, and quality of life.

Course Numbering System USU maintains a semester system—three semesters or periods of classwork: fall, spring, and summer. Fall and spring semester are each of 15 weeks duration. Summer semester spans a total of 14 weeks and includes one four-week early session, two workshop weeks, one eight-week session, and two four-week sessions. Credit Enrollment. The semester credit hour is the unit upon which credit is computed. Normally, the credit hour standard is based upon 150 minutes of lecture per week, for the duration of one semester, for a three-credit class. For more specific information, refer to the current Schedule of Classes. To obtain credit, a student must be properly registered and pay fees for the course. For further information, see Number of Credits Awarded for Courses on page 18. Course Numbering. Each course listed in the catalog has a number, given immediately before the name of the course. For example in the English Department there appears: Engl 1120. Elements of Grammar. This means the course, Elements of Grammar, is English 1120. The numbers are useful for reference and records. Course Numbering Code. A standard code employed by all institutions in the State System of Higher Education was adopted by USU in 1970. Upon conversion to semesters, four-digit course numbers replaced the three-digit course numbers formerly used under the quarter system. The semester numbering system is as follows: 0010-0990 1000-2790 2800-2990 3000-4790 4800-4990 5000-5990 6000-7990 5900-5990 6900-6990 7900-7990 6800-6890 7800-7890

Remedial courses; will not satisfy baccalaureate requirements; nontransferable; not calculated in GPA. Lower division (freshman and sophomore courses) Lower division independent study designation (directed reading, individual projects, etc.) Upper division (junior and senior courses) Upper division independent study designations (directed reading, individual projects, festival, institutes, workshops, etc.) Advanced upper division (may be used for a graduate degree with approval of the student’s supervisory committee) Graduate courses (students without baccalaureate degrees must obtain special permission to enroll) Independent study designations (directed reading, individual projects, theses, dissertations, etc.) Graduate seminars (includes methodology and research seminars)

“H” following regular course designation indicates Honors Program courses. Freshmen or sophomores may take any lower-division course. If there is a prerequisite for a particular course, it will be so stated in the course description. Juniors or seniors may take any lower- or upper-division course for which they have met the course requirements. Course requirements will be identified in the course description. Seniors

may take graduate courses only upon written consent from the instructor. The use of undergraduate coursework for a graduate degree at USU is regulated by the School of Graduate Studies. See Split Form Policy (page 74) and Course-Level Numbering and Acceptability (page 74). Graduate students may take any course for which they have met the course requirements, but only graduate courses and individually approved undergraduate courses may be used for a graduate degree. Note: In some cases, additional college or departmental requirements (which may not be included in the course description) must be met before a student may take a particular course. For more information, students should consult their advisor or the department offering the course. At the end of each course description are listed the number of credits given for the course and the semester(s) it will likely be taught. The credits and the semester(s) it will be taught are indicated in abbreviated form in parentheses. For example: (3 cr) (F) indicates that the course offers three credits and will likely be taught fall semester. The designation (4 cr) (F,Sp,Su) indicates that the course offers 4 credits and will likely be taught all three semesters: fall, spring, and summer. It does not mean that the student has to take the class all three semesters, but rather that he or she has a choice of any semester. In some cases, such as (2 cr) (F,Sp), even though more than one semester is indicated, the course will not be offered each semester, but only one of these semesters, the exact one yet to be decided. Some course listings do not indicate semester(s) offered. In some cases, these courses may be taken any semester (e.g., continuing graduate advisement, thesis, dissertation, or internship courses). In other cases, the semester(s) to be offered has not yet been determined (e.g., special topics courses, which are offered infrequently). For current information about semesters to be offered, consult the department offering the course. For more definite up-to-date information, please refer to the University Schedule of Classes published prior to the beginning of each semester. All catalog listings are subject to change. The schedule will also update policies and practices of the University as changes occur. Catalog updates will also appear in the USU online catalog (accessed from http://www.usu.edu/ats). Occasionally, two or more closely related courses (which usually have the same title) will be listed under one entry, such as Math 6110, Math 6120. Differential Geometry. The credit entry will read: (3 cr) (F) (3 cr) (Sp). That means that each of the two courses offers 3 credits. In some classes, the amount of credit for which students register can be individually arranged. One student may take 2 credits, another student 3 credits, etc. Academic credit is identified in parentheses at the end of the course description, e.g. (1-3 cr). Preceding some course listings in this catalog will be a single asterisk (*), a double asterisk (**), or a triple asterisk (***). Such courses are taught during alternate years, as explained in the footnotes at the end of the departmental section. For more information, check the Schedule of Classes or consult the department offering the course.

Students with outstanding financial obligations may be refused all University services until such obligations are paid. Services which may be denied include the following: registration, transcripts, grades, transfer of credit, and graduation.

ID Cards. An ID card will be prepared for new freshmen and transfer students upon proof of fee payment. However, electronic validation is required each semester before the ID card will be acceptable for admission to student activity attractions. Upon payment of tuition and fees, students registering for 7 or more credits will automatically have their cards validated. Students registered for less than 7 credits must pay $55.00 to have their cards validated. A student who holds a validated card may purchase an additional validated card for his or her spouse for $28.00. Lost ID cards may be replaced for $10.00.

Semester Note. To ease the transition from quarters to semesters, the Semester Note gives students the option to pay most of their tuition up front, with the remainder due 60 days into the semester. The cost for the Semester Note is $22, and 65 percent of the tuition and fees is due at fee payment time. This payment option is available during the total fee payment period and will retain classes at the fee payment deadline. Semester Notes are available at the Cashiers Office (SC 228).

Deferred Fee Note. Unlike the Semester Note, the Deferred Fee Note is not available until after the fee payment deadline. This note is due 60 days into the semester. The cost of the deferred fee note is $50. Deferred Fee Notes may be applied for in the Cashiers Office (SC 228). Miscellaneous Payments. If any payment made to the University is unauthorized, incomplete, or received after the due date, registration fees will be considered as unpaid, and the student will not be officially registered. Personal Checks. Personal checks returned by the bank for any reason will subject the student to a service charge and, at the discretion of the Controllers Office, may result in the withholding of registration credit or immediate cancellation of the student’s classes. USU reserves the right to refuse personal checks for any transaction. Check cashing privileges and use of other University services using personal checks may be suspended for any individual who has a check returned to the University. Sponsored Payments. Students whose tuition and fees are paid by a sponsor may contact the Cashiers Office (SC 228) for authorization to complete registration. International students with a sponsor should contact the International Students and Scholars Office, SC 313, (435) 797-1124. Computer and Information Literacy Examination. All students working toward a bachelor’s degree must pass this examination as part of the University Studies requirements. New students will automatically be assessed a fee. For additional information about this exam, see page 57.

Special Fees. Special fees, charged in addition to tuition and registration fees, are assessed on the Registration/Billing Statement. Carefully review the University Schedule of Classes to determine which courses require special fees.

Registration Office of the Registrar: SC 246 All students attending classes must be registered. Students are officially registered when all tuition and fees have been paid in full. Failure to pay tuition and fees by the published fee payment deadline may result in courses being voided. Students are responsible for dropping courses for which they do not wish to receive a grade. Detailed registration instructions are printed in the University Schedule of Classes, which is published each semester. Eligibility. Only eligible students may register for courses at the University. An eligible student is either continuing from the previous year or has been admitted or readmitted to the University. Registration Procedures. The University Schedule of Classes lists each semester’s course offerings, dates, times, places, and procedures for registration and fee payment. It may be purchased at the University Bookstore or accessed at: http://www.usu.edu/registra/admrec/schedule/schedule.html Late Registration. A $20 late registration fee is assessed beginning the first day of classes. Students must complete registration by the end of the third week of the semester. Assignment of Advisor. When undergraduate students have been admitted to the University and have indicated their proposed field of study, they are assigned an advisor according to their major. Students are initially assigned to the default advisor or advising office for their individual major. In some cases, the default advisor is a temporary advisor who may assign students to a permanent advisor after their initial meetings with each student. In some colleges, students may be assigned to one advisor until they complete their lower-division coursework, and then be assigned to another advisor when they begin working on their upper-division coursework. Advising systems vary from college to college within the University. Students may access a listing of advisors by major by going to: http://www.usu.edu/ats/advisorlist. Full-time Status. The minimum registration load for a full-time undergraduate student is 12 credits. Students who desire to graduate in four years (eight semesters) must average a semester load of at least 15 credits per semester. To be eligible for student body offices, students are required to be registered for 12 or more credits. Students on scholarships must be registered for 12 or more credits, unless otherwise indicated. Veterans and students eligible for a veteran’s educational allowance are required to be matriculated and registered for 12 or more credits (for undergraduate students) or 9 or more credits (for graduate students) to qualify for full educational benefits. Students registered for less than 12 credits should contact the Veterans Services Office to determine if they are eligible for partial benefits. Auditing Classes. Those who wish to audit a class must register as auditors. Auditing is dependent on space, resource availability, and instructor approval. No credit will be allowed for attendance, and the regular fee will be assessed. At no future time may the student request or receive credit for the audited course by any other means than by officially registering for the course and doing the required work. Audit requests, approved by the instructor, must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar and fees paid at the Cashiers Office before class attendance is permitted. Students are not permitted to register as auditors during Early Registration.

House Bill 60 permits Utah residents 62 years of age or older to audit regular university classes offered during the day or offered through the Extension Class Division. However, space in many university classes is limited. Classes which are full at the time of an audit request are unavailable. Credit seeking, full-tuition paying students shall have first priority in the registration process. A flat fee of $10.00 per semester is charged for House Bill 60 registration. Pass (P), D+, D, F Option. Students may register for a Pass (P), D+, D, F option. The grade of Pass (P) indicates academic achievement of not less than C-. Credits for which the Pass (P) grade is received are not quality hours, and are therefore not used in the calculation of a student’s grade point average. At no future time may the student request a letter grade, once the P, D+, D, F option has been requested. (See page 19 for more information.) Adding Courses. Courses may be added for credit or audit. An instructor’s signature is required beginning the second week of the semester (sixth day of classes). Classes may be added through the first 20 percent of the class meetings. (Check the Semester at a Glance in the current Schedule of Classes for the exact date.) Following the add deadline, the Provost’s Office must also approve any add request. All requests for audit registration must be approved by the instructor and must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar, Student Center 246. Dropping Courses. Students who do not attend a class during the first week of the term or by the second class meeting, whichever comes first, may be dropped from the course by the instructor. (This does not remove responsibility from the student to drop courses which he or she does not plan to attend.) Students may drop courses without notation on the permanent record through the first 20 percent of the class. If a student drops a course following the first 20 percent of the class, a W will be permanently affixed to the student’s record. After 60 percent of the class is completed, the student’s academic advisor must sign any drop request, and a W with a grade assigned by the instructor will be entered on the student’s permanent record. A student may not drop a course after 75 percent of the class is completed. (Check the Semester at a Glance in the current Schedule of Classes for exact dates.) In the event that a student registers for a course which is later cancelled, it is the responsibility of the department to officially cancel the class with the Scheduling Office, and the student’s responsibility to drop the course for a full refund. A student may not drop all of his or her classes without an official withdrawal from the University. Complete Withdrawal from the University. Complete withdrawal is initiated at the Financial Aid Office (SC 106) for those having financial aid, at the Veterans Services Office (SC 204) for those receiving veterans benefits, or at the Registrar’s Office (SC 246) for all other students. No one will be permitted to withdraw from the University once final examinations have begun. The date of the official withdrawal is the date the withdrawal form or letter is received. A student who withdraws must be accepted for readmission before he or she may enroll again.

18 Records

No-test Days. A five-day period designated as No-test Days precedes the five days of final examinations which are normally scheduled at the close of each academic semester. During No-test Days neither final examinations nor testing of any kind will be given in order that students may concentrate upon classwork, the completion of special assignments, writing projects, and other preparation for duly scheduled final examinations. Proof of Identification. In order to receive University services, photo identification must be presented. Each admitted student who completes the registration process for a regular semester

will be issued a student identification card. This photo identification card is valid for the duration of the student’s enrollment at Utah State University. Photo IDs are issued throughout the semester in the Taggart Student Center, Room 204. Change of Address. It is the responsibility of the student to keep the Office of the Registrar informed of address changes by completing a Change of Address form available at the Registrar’s Office (SC 246) or by using the Student QUAD program on the web: http://www.usu.edu/registra/admrec/quad-main.html

Records Office of the Registrar: SC 246, (435) 797-1116 Records The custodian of educational records at Utah State University is the Office of the Registrar. Student Classification. At the beginning of each semester, students are classified for that semester as follows: Credit Hours Earned 0-29 30-59 60-89 more than 89

Classification Freshman Sophomore Junior Senior

Number of Credits Awarded for Courses Traditional Courses. The standard for academic course credit, as identified by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges and followed by USU, is that one credit be awarded for three hours of student work per week over a 15-week semester. For traditional courses, this is interpreted as one 50-minute class period plus two hours of study per week for each credit. Note that one 50-minute period per week throughout a 15-week semester equals 12.5 contact hours per credit. This standard should be used in determining credits for courses which do not meet for 50-minute periods. Nontraditional Courses. In addition to courses taught during regular academic terms, other educational experiences (such as workshops, institutes, short courses, and conferences) are offered at USU. Because of the short time period in which they are offered, these nontraditional courses may not require extensive out-of-class work by students. When little or no out-of-class work is required, the standard for credit for such courses is 20 contact hours per credit.

Privacy Rights The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, a federal law commonly referred to as FERPA or the Buckley Amendment, (1) provides that students will have access to inspect and review their educational records and (2) protects the rights of a student to privacy by limiting access to the educational record without express written consent. Definitions. A student is defined as any individual who is attending or has attended Utah State University. (Note: Certain rights are extended to the parent(s) of a dependent student, where dependency is defined by Section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954.) An educational record is any record (1) directly

related to a student, and (2) maintained by Utah State University or by an agent of the University. Notices. With respect to a student’s educational records, FERPA affords a student the right: (1) to inspect and review the student’s educational records; (2) to request the amendment of the student’s educational records to ensure that they are not inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy or other rights; (3) to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s educational records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent; (4) to file with the U.S. Department of Education a complaint concerning alleged failures by Utah State University to comply with the requirements of FERPA, if a complaint cannot be resolved within the University; and (5) to obtain a copy of the Student Records Policy and Procedures for Utah State University. Categories of Records. There are two categories of educational records under FERPA. Directory information (or releasable information) is general information that may be released to anyone without the consent of the student, unless the student indicates otherwise. Personally identifiable information (or nonreleaseable information) includes all information not defined as directory information and may not generally be released without consent of the student. Utah State University has designated the following as directory information for a student: Releasable Information/Directory Information Name Local and permanent address Electronic mail address Telephone number Date of birth Residency status Degrees and awards received Most recent institution attended by the student Academic level Major field of study Department or college Participation in officially recognized activities/sports Dates of attendance and graduation Weight/height of members of athletic teams Current semester schedule of classes Photographs Nonreleaseable Information All Other Information

Records 19

Release of Information. A Release of Information form is available at the Registrar’s Office. This form may be completed by students wishing to grant access to their educational record to a third party (e.g., parents or spouse). Students accessing educational records must provide identification. It is important to note that, for educational purposes, University officials have access to all student records.

Grading For work in graded courses, A shall denote exceptional performance, B above average performance, C satisfactory performance, D poor performance, and F failing performance. Letter grades may be modified by plus (+) or minus (-) symbols (no A+ or D-). Quality Hours and Quality Points. A quality hour is defined as a credit which is used in calculating a student’s grade point average (GPA). All graded credits, except for those in which the Pass (P) or Incomplete (I) grade is received, qualify as quality hours. Quality points are assigned to each letter grade earned, as noted below: A AB+ B B-

4.00 3.67 3.33 3.00 2.67

C+ C CD+ D

2.33 2.00 1.67 1.33 1.00

0.00

Scholastic Marks, which do not qualify for quality hours, are as follows: I W

Incomplete Withdrawal

P AU

Pass Audit

Grade Point Average. When a student is graded, the quality points for the grade are multiplied by the quality hours to derive the total quality points. The total quality points are then divided by the total quality hours to determine the GPA. GPAs are rounded to the nearest thousandth of a grade point. Grading Options. Ordinarily a letter grade is given upon completion of a course, unless a grading option of “Audit” or “Pass/D+, D, F” is indicated at the time of registration or within prescribed deadlines. Pass/D+, D, F Option. A student desiring a Pass, instead of a regular grade in a course, must request a pass/fail form from the Registrar’s Office, Student Center 246. This form must be signed by the student’s advisor and returned to the Registar’s Office by the 60 percent point of the course. (Check the Semester at a Glance in the current Schedule of Classes for the exact date.) A grade of P indicates academic achievement of not less than C-. All students, including freshmen, may take courses on a P/D+, D, F basis. A minimum of 72 of the 120 credits required for the baccalaureate degree must carry the A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D designation, unless the major department or college changes this limitation. All CLEP, AP, and other special examination credits are considered P and are included in the total P grades permitted. The P shall also be used to record on the student’s permanent academic record all special credit in which other grades are inappropriate. Many departments do not allow students to take required courses on a P/D+, D, F option, and many professional or graduate schools may not accept P grades. Therefore, an advisor’s signature is required, before students may take courses under this option.

Incomplete (I) Grade. Students are required to complete all courses for which they are registered by the end of the semester. In some cases, a student may be unable to complete all of the coursework because of extenuating circumstances, but not due to poor performance or to retain financial aid. The term “extenuating” circumstances includes: (1) incapacitating illness which prevents a student from attending classes for a minimum period of two weeks, (2) a death in the immediate family, (3) financial responsibilities requiring a student to alter course schedule to secure employment, (4) change in work schedule as required by employer, or (5) other emergencies deemed appropriate by the instructor. The student may petition the instructor for time beyond the end of the semester to finish the work. If the instructor agrees, two grades will be given, an “I” and a letter grade for the course computed as if the missing work were zero. Documentation of the circumstances cited to justify an incomplete grade is required. The student is required to complete the work by the time agreed upon, or not longer than 12 months. If no change of grade is submitted by the instructor within the prescribed period, the “I” will be removed and the letter grade originally submitted with the “I” will remain as the permanent grade for the course. Arrangements to complete the missing coursework are to be made directly with the instructor awarding the “I” grade, and in accordance with departmental policy. In the absence of the original instructor, special circumstances must be handled by the department head. Documentation of required work to be completed in order to remove the “I” grade must be filed with the department office. The “I” grade should generally not require a complete repeat of the course. A student should not reregister for the course. All “I” grades must be changed to letter grades prior to graduation, regardless of whether or not the course is required for the degree. Repeating Courses. Students may repeat any course at USU for which they have previously registered. They may also retake a course originally taken at an institution where USU has an articulation agreement, if the agreement identifies a specific USU course as being equivalent to the one the student desires to replace. All other decisions dealing with retaking courses, including courses taken under the quarter system, will be determined by the department in which the course is offered. The number of times a student can take the same class is limited to a total of three times (once, plus two repeats). Beyond three attempts, the student’s dean must approve additional registration for the class. The total number of repeats allowed is limited to ten. Students who exceed this limit will have an academic hold placed on their registration. Beyond ten repeats, the student’s academic dean must approve additional registration for the class. This policy does not apply to courses repeatable for credit. When a course listed in the General Catalog is identified with the Repeat Symbol (®), the course may be taken more than once for credit. When a course not designated as repeatable for credit is repeated, the most recent grade and quality hours are used to recalculate the student’s grade point average. The previous grade and quality hours for the same course will remain on the student’s academic record, but will not be calculated in the grade point average or total quality hours completed. A course designated as repeatable (®) may be repeated to receive a higher grade, and the most recent grade and quality hours will be used in recalculating the student’s grade point average. The student is responsible to declare repeated courses to the Registrar’s Office by completing a Record Adjustment-Repeated Course form.

20 Records

Change of Grades. The instructor of a course has the sole and final responsibility for any grade reported. Once a grade has been reported to the Office of the Registrar, it may be changed upon the signed authorization of the faculty member who issued the original grade. This applies also to the grade of Incomplete (I). A change of grade after more than one year also requires the signature of the academic dean of the college in which the course is offered. (See USU Student Policy Handbook—Student Appeal Procedures.) Final Grade Report. Final grades are available on the web at http://www.usu.edu/registra/admrec/quad-main.html. Grades are also available on the TouchTone phone system, (435) 797-8888. Official transcripts may be obtained by submitting a signed request to the Academic Records Office, in person at SC 246; by mail to Utah State University, 1600 Old Main Hill, Logan UT 84322-1600; or via the Internet at: http://www.usu.edu/registrar/admrec/trnscrpt.html. Records Hold. A “Records Hold” will be placed on a student’s record when an outstanding financial obligation or disciplinary action has been reported. When a “hold” is placed on a record, the following results may occur: (1) An official and/or unofficial transcript may not be issued; (2) registration privileges may be suspended; (3) other student services may be revoked. The “hold” will remain effective until removed by the initiating office. It is the student’s responsibility to clear the conditions causing the “hold.” Transfer Credit. The grades which may be transferred and recorded for transfer students shall include, but not be limited to, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, and F, as well as P (Pass). Only grades earned at USU will be used in calculating USU grade point averages. Decisions concerning academic standing, once the student is admitted to USU, will be based solely on USU grades. Remedial Courses. Courses numbered 0010-0990 will not satisfy baccalaureate requirements, are not transferable, and are not calculated in a student’s grade point average. Academic Standing. An undergraduate student is considered by the University to be in good standing when his or her USU cumulative GPA is 2.0 or higher. An undergraduate student whose USU cumulative GPA is less than a 2.0 is placed on academic warning or academic probation, based on the student’s class rank and the USU cumulative GPA. A freshman with a USU cumulative GPA of less than 2.0 is placed on academic warning. A sophomore, junior, or senior with a USU cumulative GPA of less than 2.0 is placed on academic probation. Academic Warning. A freshman student placed on academic warning shall be notified in writing of that action by the dean of his or her college. The notation placed on warning is placed on the student’s transcript. The student remains on warning status as long as his or her semester GPA is 2.0 or higher and until his or her USU cumulative GPA rises to or exceeds 2.0; the student will then be in good standing. A student on academic warning shall be placed on academic probation at the end of any semester in which his or her semester GPA is less than 2.0. When a student’s class standing changes to sophomore, and his or her USU cumulative GPA is less than 2.0, the student is placed on academic probation. Students on academic warning are encouraged to meet with their academic advisor.

Academic Probation. An undergraduate student placed on academic probation shall be notified in writing of that action by the dean of his or her college. The notation placed on probation is placed on the student’s transcript. The student is required to meet with his or her academic advisor before the end of the fifth week and to sign a statement acknowledging the terms of the probation. Signed statements shall be maintained in the academic dean’s office. The student remains on probation status as long as his or her semester GPA is 2.0 or higher until his or her USU cumulative GPA rises to or exceeds 2.0; the student will then be in good standing. A student on academic probation is placed on suspension at the end of any semester in which his or her semester GPA is less than 2.0. Academic Suspension. An undergraduate student placed on academic suspension shall be notified in writing of that action by the Associate Vice Provost for Enrollment Management. The notation academic suspension is placed on the student’s transcript. If a student suspended for the first time and enrolled for the present semester desires to remain in school, implementation of the suspension can be delayed until the end of the present semester. Students enrolled for the present semester and having more than one suspension will be required to withdraw from school for at least one year. Students who are allowed to remain in school on delayed suspension and achieve a 2.0 semester GPA or higher will be considered for continuation without a required layout. Students who are allowed to remain in school on delayed suspension and achieve less than a 2.0 GPA will have an additional suspension and be required to remain out of school for at least one calendar year. Any questions the student may have regarding his or her suspension can be directed to the General Registration Program, (435) 797-3883. Readmission Following Academic Suspension. Students who have been suspended once and do not remain in school under the above delayed suspension option may apply for readmission after a one-semester layout. Students who have been suspended two or more times may apply for readmission to the University following a layout of one full calendar year. Low-Scholarship Notification for Graduate Students. The dean of the School of Graduate Studies will notify students whose GPA is below 3.0 any semester. If the GPA falls below 3.0 for two consecutive semesters, the student may be placed on probationary status and his or her graduate program may be terminated. For further information, see Low-Scholarship Notification (pages 75-76).

Academic Renewal Under certain circumstances, undergraduate students who have been admitted to Utah State University after an interruption in their collegiate education of five or more years may petition to have certain credits removed from the calculation of GPA needed for credit. The renewal procedure allows the student’s academic records to be reviewed for the purpose of eliminating from grade point average computation any or all grades of D+ or below that were entered on the academic transcript prior to admission. Petition forms are available in the Office of the Registrar. A $25 processing fee will be assessed. Guidelines: 1. Academic renewal does not apply to graduate students nor to students pursuing a second undergraduate degree. 2. Academic renewal may be applied only once and is irreversible.

Records 21

3. An absence of five or more years must have elapsed between admission and the last enrollment at an institution of higher education. (Note: Students must be currently enrolled to apply for academic renewal.) 4. After admission, but before application for renewal, the student must have completed at least one of the following at Utah State University: (a) 10 semester credits with at least a 3.00 GPA; (b) 20 semester credits with at least a 2.75 GPA; (c) 30 semester credits with at least a 2.50 GPA. For students with an absence of ten or more years, the requirements in guideline number 4 are waived. 5. Academic renewal applies only to courses having grades of D+, D, or F and taken prior to readmission. All such courses will remain unaltered on the transcript with the appropriate notation added to the transcript to indicate academic renewal. Courses designated in the petition will not count for computation of GPA for earned credits, nor for satisfying any graduation requirements. Courses with a grade of C- (or P) or better will be carried forward. 6. Academic renewal will be effective as of the date of the admission following the five- or ten-year absence.

Academic Honesty The University expects that students and faculty alike maintain the highest standards of academic honesty. For the benefit of students who may not be aware of specific standards of the University concerning academic honesty, the following information is quoted from the Code of Policies and Procedures for Students at Utah State University, Article V, Section 3:

Section 3. Violations of University Standards A. The following activities have been found to interfere with University functions or threaten the well-being and the educational purposes of students and subject the student to discipline under the provisions of this Code. The following list of violations is not an all inclusive list; other misconduct may also subject the student to discipline. 1.

Acts of academic dishonesty. a. Cheating includes intentionally: (1) using or attempting to use or providing others with any unauthorized assistance in taking quizzes, tests, examinations, or in any other academic exercise or activity; (2) depending upon the aid of sources beyond those authorized by the instructor in writing papers, preparing reports, solving problems, or carrying out other assignments; (3) substituting for another student, or permitting another student to substitute for oneself, in taking an examination or preparing academic work; (4) acquiring tests or other academic material belonging to a faculty member, staff member, or another student without express permission; and (5) engaging in any form of research fraud. b.

Falsification includes the intentional and unauthorized altering or inventing of any information or citation in an academic exercise or activity.

Plagiarism includes knowingly representing, by paraphrase or direct quotation, the published or unpublished work of another person as one’s own in any academic exercise or activity without full and clear acknowledgement. It also includes the unacknowledged use of materials prepared by another person or agency engaged in the selling of term papers or other academic materials.

Violations of the above policy will subject the offender to the University discipline procedures as outlined in Article VI, Section 1 (paragraphs A, D, E, F, and G) of the Code. A. The penalties which the University may impose on a student are: 1. 2. 3.

5. 6. 7.

8. 9. 10. 11. 12.

13.

Warning or reprimand—written or verbal. Grade adjustment—for either an assignment/test or the course (for academic violations only). Probation—continued attendance at the University predicated upon the student satisfying certain requirements as specified by the University in a written notice of probation. Probation is for a designated period of time and includes the probability of more severe disciplinary penalties if the student does not comply with the specified requirements or is found to be violating any University regulations during the probationary period. The student must request termination of the probation in writing. Suspension—temporary dismissal from the University for a specified time, after which the student is eligible to return. Conditions for readmission may be specified. Expulsion—permanent dismissal from the University. Extra fee assessments. Payment of restitution to the University or, when University intervention is deemed appropriate, to another individual for damages or losses. Withholding of transcripts for refusal to return University property, pay University debts, or other violations of University standards. Denial or revocation of degrees (for academic violations only). Temporary and/or permanent removal from a class. Performance of community service. Referral to psychological counseling or to the Student Wellness Center for assessment, evaluation, education, and treatment, when necessary. Other disciplinary actions which are appropriate to the violation(s).

D. More than one of the penalties may be imposed for any single violation. Reference to “penalty” includes multiple penalties. E. Imposition of the penalty of suspension or expulsion from the University must be approved by the president of the University. The president’s approval shall be given either at the conclusion of the 10-day appeal period if no appeal is filed, or as part of the president’s final decision if an appeal is filed. F. When a student is suspended or expelled from the University, tuition and fees that have been paid for the semester during which the suspension or expulsion occurs are refundable in accordance with the standard refund policy as stated in the semester Schedule of Classes. G. A hold on a student’s admission, registration, or financial aid is not an independent penalty, but may be utilized by the Unversity as a means to either direct a student’s attention to, and subsequent participation in, a pending disciplinary (or grievance) proceeding, or to obtain the student’s compliance with a penalty which has been imposed, or other action which has been taken, under the Student Code.

Honor Roll (Dean’s List) To qualify for the semester honor roll (Dean’s List), a student must earn a 3.5 GPA in 15 or more graded credits, except for summer semester for which 12 or more graded credits are required. Scholarship “A” pins are presented to undergraduate students who have received all A grades (4.0 GPA) for 15 or more graded credits each semester for two consecutive semesters in residence. Note: Courses for which a P (Pass) grade is received do not qualify for graded credits.

Note: Loan funds to be repaid will go into repayment according to the terms of the loan. Grant funds to be repaid must be repaid immediately. More details are available from the Financial Aid Office.

Responsibility of Financial Aid Recipients Undergraduate financial aid recipients are expected to maintain a USU GPA of at least 2.0 and complete the appropriate number of credits for the type of aid they receive. Most grants, work-study, and Perkins Loans require full-time (12 credits) enrollment. (Pell Grants are pro-rated for full-time, three-fourthstime, half-time, and less than half-time.) Stafford Loan recipients must maintain 6 credits each semester they receive a loan. Graduate students must maintain a USU GPA of 3.0 and must complete 6 credits each semester they receive financial aid or defer student loans.

Financial Aid

Repayment of Federal Funds Policy Students who are withdrawing from the University and who have Federal Financial Aid must meet with their financial aid counselor prior to withdrawing. Students who completely withdraw from the University during the course of a semester are required to return a percentage of their Federal Student Financial Aid. All types of Federal Financial Aid are included in the repayment, including: Pell Grants, Supplemental Grants, Perkins Loans, and Stafford Loans. The amount of repayment is based on the percentage of the semester completed. For example, if a student withdraws after completing 40% of the semester (calculated using calendar days), the student must return 60% of his or her Federal Student Aid. If the student is eligible for a refund of tuition and fees, according to the University refund policy, the refund will be applied to the Federal Financial Aid obligation. A refund may or may not completely repay the obligation. Either way, the student will not be allowed to register for future classes, nor be eligible for future financial aid, until the debt is repaid. For example, suppose a student has Federal Aid in the following amounts: Pell Grant Perkins Loan Stafford Loan

$1,500 1,200 2,750

Total

$5,450

If the semester has 115 calendar days and the student completely withdraws from the University on day 20, the repayment would be calculated as follows: 115/20 = 17% of the semester completed, and 83% not completed. Therefore, 83% of the Federal Aid must be repaid (i.e., $5,450 x 83% = $4,523.50). Withdrawal on day 20 would allow a 50% refund of tuition and student fees. If the student paid $1,400, the refund would be $690 (i.e., $700 minus the $10 nonrefundable registration fee). Therefore, after $690 is applied to the repayment, an additional $3,842.50 must be repaid (i.e., $4,532.50 - $690 = $3,842.50).

Students not maintaining either the required credits or the required grade point average will be placed on financial aid probation for a minimum of one semester. Students not meeting the required minimums during the period of probation will be suspended from further aid. In exceptional circumstances, students may appeal to have the suspension lifted. In addition to maintaining academic progress as defined above, recipients may not owe a repayment on grants previously received, or be in default of any student loan fund at USU or any other institution.

Scholarship Policy The scholarships listed are awarded through the services of the Financial Aid Office, Recruitment/Enrollment Services, Alumni Relations, and the various colleges and academic departments.

The program offers several specific benefits to students. It provides those students who have decided on an academic major an opportunity to obtain pregraduation work experience in their chosen career. The program provides those students who are unsure of their academic major an opportunity to explore several career possibilities. It provides them a chance to earn money for their education and credit toward their degree. Finally, it substantially improves the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opportunities for employment after graduation.

Generally speaking, students begin their work experiences in their sophomore or junior year, although seniors can take advantage of program benefits. Students can undertake either part- or full-time work experiences. Work experiences are available both during the academic year and during the summer. These work experiences may be with a single employer or with different employers; increasing complexity is the critical principle. Salaries vary with the field of work and the complexity of the job. The amount of academic credit awarded for a given work experience varies, and depends upon the amount of work completed and upon the career-related nature of the experience. The decision

Director: Nazih T. Al-Rashid Office in Student Center 225A, (435) 797-3372 Student Support Services is a special program financed through a federal grant and Utah State University with the purpose of providing additional support to students who meet particular qualifications. The Student Support Services Program seeks to prepare and support students for the challenges of higher education by offering assistance in: 1. academic advising and guidance, 2. tutoring on an individual basis, 3. course selection, 4. faculty mentoring, 5. reading and study skills enrichment (Psy 1750, 1730), 6. math instruction (Math 0900, 1010, 1050), 7. financial aid planning, and 8. priority registration. To qualify for these services, a student must be an American citizen or permanent resident of the United States, must be registered at Utah State University, must demonstrate academic need for services as defined by the institution, and must meet one of the following U.S. Department of Education criteria: 1. low income, as established by the U.S. Commission of Higher Education; 2. disabled, including physical disabilities and learning disabilities; or 3. first-generation college student, meaning that neither of the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents have graduated from a four-year institution of higher education.

Housing and Food Services Learn and Live Students who live on campus are at the heart of campus life. USU residence halls are located next to or near all University classrooms and libraries, with additional in-house tutoring, computer labs, study rooms, and classrooms provided to residents. USUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residential communities are designed to promote academic success, with an atmosphere conducive to academic, social, cultural, and personal growth.

Residential Learning Communities Each year, USU data has confirmed that students who live in residence halls do much better academically, which means earning higher GPAs. Students living in residence halls are also able to carry heavier class loads than are students who live off campus. Research also shows on-campus students tend to be more involved in academic and extracurricular activities, persist and graduate on time, and enjoy their overall collegiate experience more. All students living within housing learning communities have access to the following services to assist in their academic success: computer labs, Internet access T-1 data line, educational programming, peer tutors (math, writing), enhanced academic advising and career counseling, faculty mentoring, increased faculty interaction, and leadership and service opportunities. A well-trained team of professional and peer staff also provides numerous opportunities for social and educational activities, which build the community, as well as supplement and support formal classroom experiences. By participating in specialized academic programs and floors, students can live with others enrolled in the same academic program or having similar interests. Students participating in these programs share a floor and/or building with students having common college interests. Increased faculty interaction through on-site mentoring, advising programs, and activities are just a few of the benefits. Each community offers slightly different opportunities and is designed with the student in mind. High-quality facilities at reasonable rates, along with service and convenience, are provided. All prices generally include Internet access, local phone, cable TV, and free shuttle bus service. Single housing apartment prices include all utilities, full kitchens, and furniture. Family housing units have full kitchens and are rented unfurnished. Residents are responsible to pay electric and gas utilities themselves.

Applications for these credits should be made in the Department of Languages and Philosophy. Students will be required to pay a posting fee. Students who receive credit by advanced course will receive a grade posted to their transcript, with a designation that it was earned by advanced coursework. Credits earned through this option cannot be used to meet the minimum USU course requirement. Credit by Departmental Examination. Matriculated students may challenge a course for credit by taking a departmental examination. Departments will determine if a course is appropriate for challenge; students should contact the instructor and/or department. If a challenge exam is available, the instructor should advise the student as to whether he or she has a reasonable chance of passing. The examination will survey knowledge of the course content and may include papers, projects, portfolios, etc. Students challenging a course for which they are registered must do so within the first two weeks of the course. Students not registered will be required to pay a fee (standard recording fee and course-specific examination fee). Students who take a departmental examination will receive the exam grade posted to their transcript for that course. Credits earned through departmental examination can be used to meet the minimum USU course requirement. CLEP Examinations. Credits may be acquired through the College Level Examination Placement (CLEP) examinations. These credits may be used to fill General Education requirements, and may also be accepted as equivalent to specific courses. AP and CLEP credit combined may fulfill requirements for a maximum of four Breadth areas of General Education. For a complete list of examinations accepted and scores necessary to receive credit, inquire at Testing Services, University Inn 115, (435) 797-1004. Individual departments and/or colleges may specify the exact courses required to fill their requirements and may require more than the minimum General Education requirements. Some departments and colleges require specific coursework for General Education, which the CLEP exams may not satisfy.

International Baccalaureate. USU recognizes the International Baccalaureate diploma and awards credits for General Education requirements, excluding the Breadth American Institutions, Communications Literacy, and mathematics Quantitative Literacy requirements necessary for graduation. Students who have not completed the International Baccalaureate diploma receive 8 credits for scores of 5, 6, or 7 achieved on the higher-level exams. Credit achieved through the International Baccalaureate examinations may not be duplicated with AP credit. Credit for Military Service. The University may grant credit to students currently enrolled at the University who have served in the armed forces. Applications for credit are made by submitting the DD214 or DD295 form to Recruitment/Enrollment Services. Army/ACE Registry Transcript System (AARTS). Enlisted soldiers who entered active duty on or after October 1, 1981 are eligible for an AARTS transcript. However, the AARTS transcript is not available to members of the U.S. Army Reserve, warrant officers, or commissioned officers. Those students who are eligible for an AARTS transcript and who are seeking credit for military service in the Army should provide Recruitment/Enrollment Services with an AARTS transcript instead of the DD214 or DD295 form. Eligible students may obtain transcript request forms from their Army education center counselors, or they may write directly to: Manager, AARTS Operations Center, 415 McPherson Avenue, Ft. Leavenworth KS 66027-1373. Each request must include the student’s name, basic active service date, social security number, and current mailing address. Veterans Educational Benefits. Veterans or qualified dependents of disabled or deceased veterans who may be eligible for Veterans Educational Benefits should contact the Office of Veterans Services, or telephone (435) 797-1102 for information concerning their educational benefits. Veterans or eligible dependents must make application for admission and be matriculated in a degree program. Transfer Student Admission. Applicants with at least 45 quarter or 30 semester credits earned at another accredited institution will be considered for admission if they have a cumulative GPA of 2.2 or higher. Students having a cumulative GPA below 2.2 will not be offered admission. Many USU undergraduate majors require a higher GPA for admission. For specific GPA requirements, refer to this catalog or consult the departments. Transfer students who meet the advertised transfer GPA requirements will be admitted. Transfer students having a GPA between 2.2 and what the department requires will be referred to their intended academic department for an admission decision. Their advisor will determine whether or not admission to USU will be offered. Official transcripts of credit must accompany applications for admission when submitted by students who have attended other collegiate institutions. Transcripts submitted for admission become the property of the University and are not returned. Transcripts from all institutions previously attended are required.

If, prior to taking a CLEP examination, a student has received credit (including AP credit) for any coursework equivalent to the subject matter of a CLEP examination, the credits earned from the course will be deducted from the earned CLEP credits.

At its discretion, the University may accept transfer credit from accredited and nonaccredited institutions and miscellaneous sources. These may include:

Other institutions have policies differing from those of USU regarding CLEP scores and credits granted for those scores. For transfer students, CLEP credit posted to another institution’s transcript is reevaluated based on USU’s standard.

(1) accredited institutions, (2) foreign universities, (3) U.S. military credit for approved job and educational experiences, (4) credit by examination, (5) miscellaneous sources: internships, nontraditional learning experiences.

Admission Requirements 51

The following evaluation criteria for acceptance will be used: (1) accreditation status of the institution, (2) recognized national standards published by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and by the American Council on Education, (3) guidelines given by the State Board of Regents (including guidelines for CLEP and AP credit), and (4) recommendations given by various University units having appropriate academic competence, including: Faculty Senate, college and departmental curriculum committees. Utah State University does not accept transfer credit from nonaccredited institutions in those cases where USU lacks an academic unit to evaluate such transfer credits. Credit Transfer Policy of Utah System. An Associate of Arts or an Associate of Science degree earned at any institution within the Utah System of Higher Education, or at other non-Utah institutions with articulation agreements, will be considered as meeting the General Education requirement of any institution in the system. (At USU, this satisfies the General Education portion of the University Studies requirements.) When the General Education requirements of an institution not offering the Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree have been met in earning a 60 to 63 semester credit hour diploma, a Registrar’s certification that the transferring student has completed baccalaureate-level General Education requirements at the sending institution will be accepted by the receiving USHE institution in lieu of the AA/AS degree. In the latter case, the Registrar at the sending institution will forward to the receiving institution an up-to-date description of the General Education requirements. Credit for quarter courses numbered 100 or above, or for semester courses numbered 1000 or above, earned in the Utah System of Higher Education is transferable within the System and will be carried on the student’s transcript by the receiving institution. Acceptance of credit should not be confused with its application. Transfer credit may or may not apply to the graduation requirements of an institution, regardless of the number of credits transferred. Credit other than that intended wholly to meet the General Education requirements of the receiving institution will be applied on the basis of the appropriateness of credit to a particular institution’s specific degree program requirements as determined by the receiving institution. For more transfer student information, including agreements with other states, see pages 64-65 of this catalog. International Undergraduate Student Admission. The following fees, documents, and information should be submitted to Recruitment/Enrollment Services three months (March 1, summer semester; June 1, fall semester; October 1, spring semester) prior to the beginning of the semester for which an international student wishes to be considered for admission: 1. Utah State University application for admission for students outside the United States and a $35 application fee. 2. One copy of official transcripts and certificates or certified true copies for each secondary school, college, and university attended with official English translation of all documents. 3. Evidence of financial capability must be provided with the application, as specified on the application form. 4. International students must be proficient in the use of English. Proficiency is determined for undergraduates by a minimum TOEFL score of 500 on the manual test, 173 on the computerized test, or a Michigan test score of 80, or by passing level 4 (ad-

vanced level) of the Intensive English program at Utah State University. For graduate students, proficiency is determined by a minimum TOEFL score of 550 on the manual test, 213 on the computerized test, or passing level 4 (advanced level) of Intensive English at Utah State University. Qualified students in level 4 (advanced level) of Intensive English may take one or more academic courses if approved by the Intensive English staff and their University advisor. Graduate students need the additional approval of the Dean of Graduate Studies. Students at any level may audit academic courses with instructor’s approval. Audited courses are not recognized by the U.S. Immigration Service toward the requirement of carrying a full course of study. Failure to carry a full course of study (at least 12 credit hours per semester for undergraduates), or failure to make satisfactory progress towards the receipt of an undergraduate or advanced degree, or failure to comply with any other immigration requirements for students attending USU, will be grounds for suspension or dismissal in accordance with existing University policy. Graduate Admission. Any student who has graduated from USU or any other university must apply to the School of Graduate Studies for admission and present two copies of an official transcript. Readmission. Students who were in attendance the previous spring semester are not required to reapply for fall semester unless the student withdrew from the University or if suspension or graduation occurred at the conclusion of the spring semester. Former students of the University returning after an absence of two or more semesters are required to file applications for readmission. Residency Application and Appeal. Nonresident students who feel they have met the requirements for instate resident student status must file an official residency application with the Residency Office, Taggart Student Center 246, no later than 10 calendar days from the first class day and not more than 30 days before the beginning of the semester for which residency is sought. Those missing the application deadline will have residency considered for the next semester, provided that the next appropriate deadline is met with adequate updated documentation. If an application is denied by the Residency Officer, the student may appeal to the Residency Appeals Committee no later than the 14th calendar day of the semester. Appeals cannot be considered after this deadline. Procedures concerning residency are as follows: 1. Persons claiming residency on their application for admission, but who are coded nonresident, will be notified in writing of their nonresident status. 2. Definition of a resident student (a) Students who attend the University on a full-time basis are presumed to have moved to Utah for the purpose of attending an institution of higher education and are nonresidents for tuition purposes. The burden of rebutting this presumption is upon the person seeking resident status. Mere presence in the state is not sufficient for establishing residency. This presence must be coupled with clear and convincing evidence that a person has established a domicile in the state beyond the circumstance of being a student and that the student does not maintain a residence elsewhere.

52 Academic Advising

(b) Aliens who are present in the United States on visitor, student, or other visas which authorize only temporary presence in this country do not have the capacity to intend to reside in Utah for an indefinite period and therefore must be classified as nonresident. (c) Aliens who have been granted immigrant or permanent resident status in the United States shall be classified for purposes of resident status according to the same criteria as citizens. (d) Any American Indian who is enrolled on the tribal rolls of a tribe whose reservation or trust lands lie partly or wholly within Utah or whose border is at any point contiguous with the border of Utah or any American Indian who is a member of a federally recognized or known Utah tribe and who has graduated from a high school in Utah, shall be entitled to resident status. 3. Handouts listing the policy and deadlines will be provided to students who inquire about residency. Western Undergraduate Exchange. Utah State University participates in the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE), a program of the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education. Through WUE, certain students who are not residents of the State of Utah may enroll at Utah State University by paying resident tuition plus 50 percent of that amount (plus other fees that are paid by all students). Because Utah State University participates, residents of Utah may enroll under the same terms in designated institutions and programs in other participating states. Information about and applications for WUE programs available at USU may be obtained from the USU Recruitment/Enrollment Services Office, 0160 Old Main Hill, Logan UT 84322-0160, tel. (435) 797-1129 or 1-800-488-8108. Utah residents may obtain information about WUE programs in other states from the Certifying Officer for Utah WICHE Student Exchange Program, #3 Triad Center, Suite 550, 355 West North Temple, Salt Lake City UT 84180-1205, tel. (801) 321-7124 or from WICHE Student Exchange Program, P.O. Box 9752, Boulder CO 80301-9752, tel. (303) 541-0214 or 0210, FAX (303) 541-0291. Cooperative education and/or internships. Cooperative education involves faculty and employers in a partnership to provide a student with a blend of academic and on-the-job experiences. Interested students should contact their academic department or the Office of Cooperative Education, UI 102.

New Student Orientation Orientation for All New USU Undergraduate Students Newly admitted students, both first-year and transfer, must participate in a Student Orientation, Advising, and Registration (SOAR) session before being permitted to register for classes. SOAR is designed to assist students in making a successful transition to USU. In addition to registering for classes, students have the opportunity to receive individual advice about degree requirements, as well as vital information about student services, campus life, and athletics. SOAR also gives students a chance to make

new friends. New students should be aware that a registration hold is placed on their file until some form of orientation is completed. After admission to USU, students will receive information about SOAR programs. For further information or to receive a SOAR application, call New Student Orientation at (435) 797-0283 or 1-800-606-4878. Academic Advising

Academic Advising Upon admission to USU, all new students are assigned to an academic advisor. During the New Student Orientation, students meet with their advisors, plan their class schedules, and register for classes. Advising is the process encompassing development and delivery of accurate and up-to-date information regarding career options, educational programs, courses of instruction, resources, policies, and procedures to aid students in pursuing their educational goals. Each student should consult with his or her academic advisor on a regular basis, and as needed, until the student’s program of study is completed. The advisor can help the student to select, plan, and complete a program of study which is consistent with the student’s interests, abilities, and needs, and can assist the student in selecting appropriate courses in the proper sequence to complete all requirements for graduation. Each student is responsible for learning and completing graduation requirements for academic programs selected. Major Requirement Sheets showing University, college, and departmental requirements for each academic program are provided by the student’s academic department or college, and all sheets are also available in the Office of Advising and Transition Services. This office provides students with information and advisement concerning University academic requirements, policies, procedures, programs, and services. The College or Division Academic Service Centers provide students with information and advisement concerning academic requirements, policies, procedures, programs, and services of that college or division. A listing of Academic Service Centers is provided below: Advising and Transition Services—SC 304, (435) 797-3373 College Academic Service Centers College of Agriculture, AG SC 218, (435) 797-7340 College of Business, BUS 306, (435) 797-2274 College of Education, EDUC 101, (435) 797-1443 College of Engineering, EL 241, (435) 797-2705 College of Family Life, FL 205A, (435) 797-1530 College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, SC 302, (435) 797-4029 College of Natural Resources, NR 112, (435) 797-2448 College of Science, ESLC 245, (435) 797-2478 Advisement for General Registration students, Undeclared Majors, and Liberal Arts and Sciences Program Science/HASS Advising Center, SC 302, (435) 797-3883 An Advisor List by Major is available on the web at: http://www.usu.edu/ats.

Undergraduate Graduation Requirements At the undergraduate level, the University offers an Associate of Applied Science degree, the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Landscape Architecture, Bachelor of Music, and Bachelor of Science, and provides coursework which will satisfy requirements for all professional certificates issued by the State Board of Public Instruction. Certificates and diplomas are offered for one- and two-year programs in certain departments. For information about graduate degees and majors offered by USU, see page 70 of this catalog.

Certificates, Diplomas, and Associate of Applied Science Degrees Certificates, diplomas, and Associate of Applied Science degrees are awarded for completion of less-than-baccalaureate programs at Utah State University. As defined by the Utah State Board of Regents, a certificate is awarded upon the successful completion of a program directly oriented toward job entry when the program is of a duration of 18 months or less (1-48 semester credit hours). The Regents define a diploma or Associate of Applied Science program as one directly oriented toward job entry when the program is of a duration of 19-36 months (49-96 semester credit hours). The Colleges of Agriculture, Business, Engineering, and Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences offer one- and two-year programs leading to certificates, diplomas, and Associate of Applied Science degrees. One-year certificate programs are available in dairy technology, agricultural machinery technology, and ornamental horticulture. Associate of Applied Science degrees include aviation maintenance technician—airframe, aviation maintenance technician—powerplant, computer aided drafting and design, agricultural machinery technology, office systems support, and ornamental horticulture. The Music Department offers two-year diploma programs and certificates in the areas of piano, organ, church music, and guitar. In most cases, the courses in the diploma and Associate of Applied Science programs are arranged so that, at a later date, the four-year baccalaureate program can be completed with a minimum loss of time.

Associate of Applied Science Degree A minimum of 60 credit hours is required for an Associate of Applied Science degree. Requirements include coursework in the following areas: primary area of study, related area, general education, and electives. Candidates for an Associate of Applied Science degree must complete at least 15 USU credits at USU's Logan campus or designated centers, or through classes offered by distance education through USU. Ten of the required USU credits must be included within the last 20 credits presented for the degree. See department offerings for specific requirements. Associate of Applied Science degrees are offered in the following areas: aviation maintenance technician—airframe, aviation maintenance technician—powerplant, computer aided drafting and design, office systems support, ornamental horticulture, and agricultural machinery technology.

Bachelor’s Degrees The University confers the baccalaureate degree upon students who meet the specified requirements of any of the eight resident colleges. Graduates of the Colleges of Engineering and Natural Resources are eligible to receive the Bachelor of Science degree. The Bachelor of Arts degree is not offered in these colleges, with the exception of the Department of Environment and Society where Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts degrees are offered in Geography. Graduates of the Colleges of Agriculture, Business, Education, Family Life, and Science may be awarded the Bachelor of Science degree or the Bachelor of Arts degree as recommended by the student’s individual department and approved by the dean of the college. Graduates of the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences may be awarded the Bachelor of Science Degree, the Bachelor of Arts degree, the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture degree, or the Bachelor of Music degree as recommended by the student’s individual department and approved by the dean of the college. All graduates, regardless of the type of degree, must satisfy University Studies general education and depth education requirements.

Bachelor of Arts Degree All students who receive the Bachelor of Arts degree must have completed two years’ training or equivalent in a foreign language approved by the Languages and Philosophy Department. One year or equivalent in each of two foreign languages may also satisfy the foreign language requirement for the BA degree. Specifically, the BA language requirement may be completed in one of the following ways: 1. Completion of 16 credits in one foreign language. 2. Completion of 20 credits in two foreign languages. 3. In general, completion of course number 2020 in one of the foreign languages or an upper-division (3000-level or above) foreign language grammar or literature course. Conversation classes generally cannot be considered in satisfying this requirement. 4. Successful completion of the Intensive English Language Institute (IELI) program for international students. 5. TOEFL, Michigan, or IELI placement scores high enough to meet the University admission criteria.

Bachelor’s Degree Requirements Academic Program Requirement. All graduates are required to complete an approved academic program in one of the eight resident colleges. American Institutions. All graduates are required to have an understanding of the fundamentals of the history, principles, form of government, and economic system of the United States. Students may meet this requirement in any one of the following

Undergraduate Graduation Requirements University Studies. Completion of the University Studies general education and depth education requirements. (See pages 56-63.) Upper-Division Credits. Completion of a minimum of 40 credits numbered 3000 or above. Total Credits. A minimum of 120 credits of acceptable collegiate work and a minimum of 100 credits with a grade of C- or better. GPA. In order to graduate, students must meet all GPA requirements for their major. These requirements can be found in the Instructional Units and Programs section of this catalog. USU credits only are used in computing the GPA.

Major. Each student must complete all requirements for an approved program of study. This program is comprised of up to 80 credits, which include the major, certification requirements, and all other required major coursework. The program of study for each major is described in the appropriate departmental section of this catalog and on the major requirement sheets, which can be obtained from the department, the college, or the Office of Advising and Transition Services. Students should select a major subject upon entering the University or early the first year, but not later than entrance into the upper division. As soon as the major subject has been selected, the student should contact the department in which he or she has decided to major. The dean or the head of the department will assign an advisor. Registration in each succeeding semester should be carefully checked and approved by the advisor to assure proper selection of courses for satisfying institutional and departmental requirements. If more than one major is being pursued concurrently, departmental and college authorization must be obtained. Students who have completed at least 60 credits (not including AP, CLEP, and concurrent enrollment) and one USU semester must be accepted into a department or be admitted to General Registration before they are allowed to register for additional work. To enforce this policy, a hold will be placed on the student’s registration. The selection of a major(s), the fulfillment of requirements, and a choice of a career or vocation are the responsibility of the student. The University does not assume responsibility for these choices nor for successful employment upon completion of University programs. However, to aid in these choices, the University provides advising, counseling, and testing services for self-evaluation and information about careers and employment opportunities. Career Services assists students in all aspects of their career search. Changing a Major. When a change of major is desired, a student must go to the department office and dean’s office of the college in which he or she is presently enrolled to initiate the proper paperwork. If he or she is changing majors within the same college, the dean’s office may complete the required form, have it signed, and have it received by the Registar’s Office. When a stu-

dent is changing colleges, signatures of both department heads and deans are required on the form. After the form is received by the Registrar’s Office, the major is changed and the information becomes part of the student’s file. Minor. USU does not require that all students complete a minor. However, some departments and/or programs do require completion of a minor, which is described in the catalog statement of the department or program. When a minor is required, it is part of the professional component. USU Courses. Candidates for a bachelor’s degree must complete at least 30 USU credits at USU’s Logan campus or designated centers, or through classes offered by distance education through USU. Ten of the required USU credits must be included within the last 40 credits presented for the degree. Candidates for an associate degree must complete at least 15 USU credits at USU’s Logan campus or designated centers, or through classes offered by distance education through USU. Ten of the required USU credits must be included within the last 20 credits presented for the degree. Upon recommendation of the department and with the concurrence of the college dean, a candidate for a degree may complete, when appropriate, the minimum requirements for USU credits through USU courses taken away from the USU Logan campus. Independent Study Credits. The maximum amount of independent study credit which may be applied toward a bachelor’s degree is 30 credits. Credit by Examination. Some noncollegiate experiences may permit credit through challenge and foreign language examinations. For further information, see pages 49-50. Community College Credit. No more than 80 credits of transfer credit from community colleges may be applied toward graduation. Remedial Courses. Remedial courses (numbered below 1000), cannot be used to satisfy baccalaureate requirements. Honors. To qualify for graduation honors, a student must have completed a minimum of 40 USU semester credits. USU designated honors at graduation are: Summa Cum Laude Magna Cum Laude Cum Laude

3.950 to 4.000 GPA 3.800 to 3.949 GPA 3.500 to 3.799 GPA

These grade point averages are USU cumulative GPAs. Transfer credits are not considered in determining eligibility for graduation honors.

General Information Extension and Independent Study. Applicants for degrees who have taken courses for credit through extension classwork or Independent Study courses are subject to regular University admission requirements and must file transcripts of all university credit with the Office of Admissions. Financial Obligations. Students are reminded that nonpayment of fees owed to the University may result in withholding of diplomas or certificates. Independent Study. Grades for Independent Study courses must be completed and on file in the Records Office by the last day of the semester of intended graduation.

Undergraduate Graduation Requirements 55

Incomplete Grades. Incomplete grades must be made up and on file in the Records Office no later than the last day of the semester for which the candidate is applying for graduation. Changes in Graduation Requirements. Students are expected to familiarize themselves with the rules and regulations of both the University and their specific major. Detailed information concerning graduation requirements is available in this catalog as part of the departmental descriptions. Responsibility for satisfying all graduation requirements rests upon the student. Utah State University reserves the right to change graduation requirements at any time. Students who can complete a baccalaureate degree within seven years of enrollment at USU can qualify for graduation by meeting (1) the General Education/University Studies requirements in effect when they initially enrolled and (2) the major requirements in effect when they officially declared their major, even though there may have been changes in General Education/University Studies and major requirements since that time. Students who have not completed the baccalaureate requirements within seven years of their initial enrollment at USU must have their General Education/University Studies and major requirements evaluated and approved by their department head and dean. Exceptions to this seven-year policy may be necessary for mandated changes in degree requirements. Applying for Graduation Undergraduate candidates for graduation must have completed the application process by having an application on file and fees paid to the Cashiers Office. The application deadline is October 15 for spring semester graduates and February 15 for summer or fall semester graduates. Late applicants will be assessed a $10 late fee. The application process is as follows: (1) Request an application from the Registar’s Office, (2) Return with picture ID to the Registrar’s Office on the specified date and pick up the application for candidacy for graduation packet, (3) Carefully review the graduation application instructions, (4) Submit the application to departmental advisor and college dean for review and signatures (double majors must have the appropriate signatures for each major), (5) Complete the graduating student survey, and (6) Submit the graduation packet to the Cashiers Office (SC 228) and pay the application fee of $10. Approximately one month is needed to complete the application process. Names of the candidates will appear on the graduation lists and diplomas as they appear on the student’s transcript. To change the name appearing on the transcript, the student must fill out the appropriate form in the Registrar’s Office and bring an official document (i.e., driver license, marriage certificate, etc.). Reapplication for Graduation. Students who do not successfully complete graduation requirements by the end of spring semester must reapply for graduation for the new academic year.

Commencement Candidates who completed requirements and received their diplomas at the end of summer or fall semester are invited and encouraged to attend commencement exercises with the spring semester graduates. Attendance at Commencement is expected of all candidates. If unable to attend, the student must notify the dean of his or her college and be officially excused in advance. Also, the student must notify the Graduation Office of the address to which the diploma is to be sent. Participation in commencement exercises does not ensure that the candidate has satisfied graduation requirements. Second Bachelor’s Degree A second bachelor’s degree is available only to those on whom a first bachelor’s degree has been conferred. Students must complete a minimum of 30 USU credits beyond those applied toward the first bachelor’s degree, 18 of which must be earned in department-approved upper-division courses related to the major. USU credits may be earned in courses completed at USU’s Logan campus or at designated centers, or through classes offered by distance education through USU. Candidates for a second bachelor’s degree must file an application with the Admissions Office and obtain the recommendation of their academic dean. Candidates for a second bachelor’s degree must have met the American Institutions requirement in the first bachelor’s degree, or complete the requirement before receiving the second bachelor’s degree. Note: The first bachelor’s degree must have been awarded by an accredited college or university. Split Form A student who is within 30 credit hours of completing a baccalaureate degree may file a Split Form showing division of classes between two undergraduate degrees, or an undergraduate and graduate degree. These classes must be identified each semester on a Split Form. Students desiring a second bachelor’s degree must obtain a Split Form from the Registrar’s Office, Student Center 246. To be matriculated into a second bachelor’s program, students must submit an Application for Admission to the second bachelor’s degree program to Recruitment/Enrollment Services, Student Center 102. The Split Form must be filed prior to the posting of grades for the semester in which the request is submitted. The form must be signed by the student’s advisor and the college dean of both majors. Students who want to divide courses between an undergraduate and a graduate degree must obtain a Split Form from the School of Graduate Studies, Main 164. For more information, see Split Form Policy (page 74) in the Graduate General Regulations section.

USU University Studies Requirements (General Education and Depth Education) University Studies Objectives: The Citizen Scholar The mission of undergraduate education at Utah State University is to help students develop intellectually, personally, and culturally, so that they may serve the people of Utah, the nation, and the world. USU prepares citizen-scholars who participate and lead in local, regional, national, and global communities. University Studies is an integral part of every student’s experience—in both lower-division and upper-division courses. A solid University Studies foundation, combined with concentrated study in a major discipline and interdisciplinary studies, provides the breadth and depth of knowledge qualifying USU graduates as educated citizens. The University Studies program is intended to help students learn how to learn—not just for the present, but also for the future. No individual can master all, or even a small portion, of society’s knowledge, but students can learn the basic patterns used to obtain and organize information, enabling them to discover or recover knowledge. University Studies involves a series of interrelated educational experiences which stimulate and assist students in becoming self-reliant scholars and individuals. The ultimate objective is for general and discipline-specific education to complement each other in helping students to: 1. understand processes of acquiring knowledge and information; 2. reason logically, critically, creatively, and independently, and be able to address problems in a broad context; 3. recognize different ways of thinking, creating, expressing, and communicating through a variety of media; 4. understand diversity in value systems and cultures in an interdependent world; and 5. develop a capacity for self-assessment and lifelong learning. By introducing ideas and issues in human thought and experience, University Studies courses help students achieve the intellectual integration and awareness needed to meet the challenges they will face in their personal, social, and professional lives. University Studies courses emphasize how knowledge is achieved and applied in different domains. Collectively, they provide a foundation and perspective for:

A university education prepares students to work and live meaningfully in today’s rapidly changing global society. Together, general and discipline-specific education help students master the essential competencies making this goal possible. These competencies include: 1. reading, listening, and viewing for comprehension; 2. communicating effectively for various purposes and audiences; 3. understanding and applying mathematics and other quantitative reasoning techniques; 4. using various technologies competently; and 5. working effectively, both collaboratively and individually.

University Studies Requirements The University Studies program, along with study in the major, is designed to assist students in achieving the Citizen Scholar Objectives. The program consists of two sets of requirements: General Education Requirements and Depth Education Requirements. Students who have received an AA or AS degree at any institution within the Utah System of Higher Education, or at another institution with which USU has an articulation agreement, will be considered to have fulfilled the General Education Requirements, but must still complete the Depth Education Requirements. Students who transfer to Utah State University with less than an Associate Degree (and have not completed General Education requirements) or with an Associate of Applied Science Degree will have their General Education courses evaluated on a course-by-course basis and may be required to take any additional courses necessary to satisfy the General Education requirements at Utah State University. However, if these students have taken equivalent General Education courses at the sending institution, these courses will be accepted toward satisfying General Education requirements at Utah State University. Courses approved as fulfilling General Education requirements at a Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) institution, Brigham Young University, LDS Business College, Westminster College, and Brigham Young University (Idaho) will be acceptable to Utah State University as satisfying comparable General Education requirements.

1. understanding the nature, history, and methods of the arts and humanities, as well as the natural and physical sciences; 2. understanding the cultural, historical, and natural contexts shaping the human experience; and 3. interpreting the important cultural, socio-economic, scientific, and technological issues of the diverse global community in which we live.

General Education Requirements (27-31 credits) USU’s General Education program consists of two sets of requirements: Competency and Breadth.

Breadth Requirements 57

Competency Requirements (9-13 credits) The Citizen Scholar Objectives propose that students should be able to communicate effectively, utilize quantitative methods, make appropriate use of technology, and function effectively in groups. The competency requirements are structured to develop these skills.

Communications Literacy (CL) (6 credits) Engl 1010 (CL). Introduction to Writing: Academic Prose. (3)

There is a $30 fee associated with this exam. Students having less than 60 semester credits when they register for their first semester at USU will automatically be assessed a $30 Computer and Information Literacy (CIL) fee. (If a student can show proof that the CIL requirement has been met at another Utah institution, the $30 fee will be credited to the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s account.) Once the fee is paid, there is no limit to the number of times a student can take each test. Once a test is passed, a student may not retake that test. After all tests are passed, students must go to the CIL web page, select Recording on Transcript, and then complete and submit the form. The CIL information will then be posted to their transcripts. To learn more about the CIL requirement, visit the following website: http://complit.usu.edu.

Or AP English Test: Score of 3 or higher Or ACT English Test: Score of 29 or higher

Breadth Requirements (18 credits) Breadth Requirements

Or CLEP English Composition Test: Score of 50 or higher Or CLEP Freshman College Composition Test: Score of 53 or higher Or

General Education breadth requirements are intended to introduce students to the nature, history, and methods of different disciplines; and to help students understand the cultural, historical, and natural contexts shaping the human experience. Breadth courses also focus on the important cultural, socio-economic, scientific, and technological issues of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s global community.

SAT Verbal Test: Score of 640 or higher AND Engl 2010 (CL). Intermediate Writing: Research Writing in a Persuasive Mode. (3)

Quantitative Literacy (QL) (3-4 credits) Math 1030 (QL). Quantitative Reasoning. (3) Or Math 1050 (QL). College Algebra. (4) Or

Students must take a minimum of 18 total credits, including at least one course from each of the six categories shown below. At least two of the six breadth courses must be University Studies courses (USU 1300, 1320, 1330, 1340, 1350, and 1360). Students enrolled in the Honors Program may substitute Honr 1300H, 1320H, 1330H, 1340H, 1350H, and 1360H for USU 1300, 1320, 1330, 1340, 1350, and 1360. Prerequisites are required for breadth courses followed by (prereq.). For details, see course listings in the Instructional Units and Programs section of this catalog.

Stat 1040 (QL). Introduction to Statistics. (3) Or One Mathematics or Statistics course requiring Math 1050 as a prerequisite, such as Math 1100, 1210, 1220; or Stat 2300 Or AP Calculus AB Test: Score of 3 or higher Or AP Calculus BC Test: Score of 3 or higher

Computer and Information Literacy (CIL) (0-3 credits) No specific course is required, but students must pass a competency exam in computer and information literacy. Communications Literacy, Quantitative Literacy, and Breadth courses associated with University Studies are intended to further develop these skills. The Computer and Information Literacy exam has six parts: 1. Electronic Mail 2. Information Law and Ethics 3. Information Resources 4. Operating Systems and Environments 5. Document Processing 6. Spreadsheets Students must score 70 percent or higher on each exam to pass. A student has met the requirement only after he or she has passed all six examinations. There is no college credit associated with this requirement. While some college credit classes (USU 1000, BIS 1400, CS 1020, Engr 1010, and InsT 1000) teach the required skills, simply passing the class does not meet the requirement. Only by passing all of the six CIL tests is the CIL requirement met. It is strongly suggested that students complete the CIL requirement during their freshman year.

Objectives The primary purpose of applied technology education programs is to prepare people for employment. Utah State University has developed applied technology education programs within role assignments by the State Board of Regents with the support of the State Board of Education. Students earn certificates, diplomas, or Associate of Applied Science degrees in programs of one or two years in length. Industry advisory committees provide valuable input to insure relevant programs. Follow-up study of graduates is used as one important method to maintain program quality. Further information concerning these less-than-baccalaureate applied technology education programs may be found in the section Certificates, Diplomas, and Associate of Applied Science Degrees on page 53 and in the following departmental sections: Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Sciences; Agricultural Systems Technology and Education; Plants, Soils, and Biometeorology; Business Information Systems; and Industrial Technology and Education. It is the policy of this institution not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, or handicap in any applied technology education program or activity.

The Area Studies Certificate program is an interdisciplinary approach to the study of a geographical or thematic subject. The program is available to undergraduate and graduate students. It is not a major and does not lead to a degree. Rather, it is designed to strengthen an academic degree and provides an opportunitity for a student to enlarge the scope of the educational experience through an in-depth study of a sector of the world or thematic problem. Where appropriate, courses that apply to the major, minor, or other graduation requirements may also apply to the Area Studies Certificate. Students may earn the following Area Studies Certificates: British and Commonwealth Studies Communicating Across Cultures International Development Law and Society Liberal Arts and Sciences Religion Women and Gender Studies For specific requirements for each of these certificates, see program brochures. In addition, a self-designed Area Studies Certificate, tailored to the student’s individual interests, is available. Examples of these are: Black Studies, Natural Ecosystems, Russian Studies, and Latin American Studies. A student takes a minimum of 24 credits related to the area of study from at least three disciplines, such as economics, natural resources, political science, sociology, literature, history, geography, and philosophy. No more than 12 of the 24 credits may be taken in any one discipline. A GPA of 3.0 must be maintained in courses applied to the certificate. A student who completes the Area Studies program is awarded a Certificate at the time of graduation. The information is also noted on the graduation program and on the student’s transcript. Graduate students are awarded the Certificate at the end of the semester in which they complete the requirements. For a more detailed description of the requirements for this program, contact the Program Coordinator, Student Center 302.

Asian Studies Program Coordination: College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences Co-directors: R. Edward Glatfelter, Main 333, (435) 797-1196 Jing Huang, Main 330C, (435) 797-0099 The Asian Studies Program is designed to provide students with a rich, interdisciplinary experience leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree or a minor in Asian Studies. The program focuses on East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and West Asia or the Middle East. Archaeological evidences suggest that humans first occupied Southwest Asia more than half a million years ago, and

Interdepartmental Undergraduate Academic Programs 67

fully modern humans began living an advanced hunting and gathering life in Asia some 60,000 years ago. Asia is a collection of some 38 independent nations, some with more than 6,000 years of written history and others only recently becoming independent nations. It is in Asia that the world’s major religions originated. Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Confucianism, Taoism, Shintoism, and Islam all have origins traced to West, South, and East Asia. A tremendous upsurge of social and economic development in many of the Asian countries deserves closer study and examination to assure harmonious social and economic development between the United States and Asia. The Asian Studies program provides an opportunity for students to develop an insight and knowledge of Asian people, their history and languages, and their political, economic, and cultural lives. Asian languages taught at Utah State University include Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Russian. A major in Asian Studies requires a minimum of 30 credits approved by the program director. In addition, 16 credits of an Asian language are required for graduation. At least one semester living and studying in an Asian country is recommended for all Asian Studies majors. Residency abroad programs may be arranged through USU affiliated or contact universities or through the International Student Exchange Program (ISEP). Students are encouraged to earn a double major by combining an Asian Studies major with a major in another field. A minor in Asian Studies requires a minimum of 20 credits approved by the program director. At least 8 credits of an Asian language are recommended. The program is open to interested Utah State University students having a minimum 2.00 grade point average. A minimum 2.50 GPA in the major or minor courses is required. For more specific information, see the program directors, the Asian Studies Program brochure, or page 98 of this catalog.

Interdisciplinary Studies Major Contact: Office of the Provost, Main 142, (435) 797-1706 Advising: Science/HASS Advising Center, Student Center 302, (435) 797-3883 The organization of academic departments and their associated degree programs reflects the history and traditions of study in those fields. The Interdisciplinary Studies major is intended to serve the needs of students who want to design a unique individualized academic program, obtain a broadly-based education, and diversify their professional potential. The degree is not intended to replace existing majors or curricula. Rather, it is designed to provide the small number of students whose degree needs cannot be met with other majors with a program which is less restrictive and more responsive to their individual plans and interests. Students who complete their programs will receive the Bachelor of Science or (if they meet the language requirement) the Bachelor of Arts degree. The degree cannot be used as part of a dual major. For further information about the Interdisciplinary Studies Major, see page 310 in this catalog.

The major and minor in International Studies provide educational opportunities enabling students to develop and enhance their international competencies. Specifically, these programs enhance the student’s knowledge of the history, culture, and institutions of other countries; cultivate development of language and intercultural skills; develop understanding of global problems and circumstances; and expand the student’s capacity to make informed judgements regarding complex international issues. Along with completion of coursework and a senior project, International Studies majors are required to spend at least eight weeks living in a foreign country. For detailed description of requirements for the International Studies Major and Minor, see page 311 in this catalog. Interdepartmental Undergraduate Academic Programs

Special Certificate Programs Special Certificates may be awarded as supplements to degree programs when authorized by the University. Currently Special Certificates are granted to recognize areas of emphasis and interdisciplinary concentrations. These include the Area Studies Certificate; the International Relations Certificate; and the Music Certificate in Pedagogy of Piano, Organ, or Guitar, as well as Music Therapy equivalency, all coordinated in the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. The Gerontology Certificate is awarded by the Department of Family and Human Development in the College of Family Life.

Women and Gender Studies Program Coordination: College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences Contact: Patricia Gantt, co-director, Ray B. West 412A, (435) 797-2718 or Anne Shifrer, co-director, Ray B. West 301C, (435) 797-2731 Women and Gender Studies at Utah State University is a multidisciplinary program focusing on the role of gender in the everyday experiences of women and men. Students are provided with opportunities to examine the diverse experiences, perspectives, and contributions of women in the past, present, and future, both nationally and internationally. Specific courses examine the processes of gender role socialization, and the resulting cultural beliefs and stereotyped images of women from a variety of disciplines. As a result, students gain appreciation for the role of gender and its practical implications in their basic life experiences, thus preparing them to understand current and future changes in the roles of women. Each semester, Women and Gender Studies courses are taught by faculty members from several areas throughout the University, including Anthropology, Journalism and Communication, English, Fine Arts, Health and Physical Education, History, Natural Resources, Political Science, Psychology, Special Education, and Sociology. Throughout the year, several special topics courses are offered, and many courses also offer Honors and graduate sections. Internship hours are available for work related to women’s issues. To meet student needs, new courses are continually developed and offered. Students may enroll in individual courses or apply coursework toward either a minor in Women and Gender Studies or an Area Studies certificate. Further information may be obtained from one of the co-directors or from the Science/HASS Advising Center (Student Center 302).

Graduate Financial Assistance Applications for assistantships, fellowships, and other financial aid should be made through departmental offices. In addition to the information in this section, information on scholarships and fellowships for graduate students is included in the Financial Aid and Scholarship Information section (pages 22-41). Along with most graduate schools in the United States, USU is a party to a resolution of the Council of Graduate Schools that establishes April 15 as the deadline for acceptance of offers of financial assistance. If a student accepts an offer before April 15 and then wishes to withdraw, a resignation of the appointment may be submitted in writing at any time through April 15. However, after April 15 a student is not to accept another offer without first obtaining a written release from the institution to which a commitment has been made.

Graduate Assistantships Teaching, research, and other graduate assistantships are available in most of the departments of the University. A full-time assistantship is 20 hours per week. In the interest of timely degree completion, graduate students are generally employed by the University for no more than 20 hours per week. Employment for more than 20 hours per week must be approved by the student’s advisor and degree-program department head. Graduate assistants must be full-time, matriculated students. For students employed as graduate assistants, full-time status is based on the full-time equivalent or FTE. A 0.25 to 0.374 FTE requires a student to enroll for 9 graduate-level credits; a 0.375 to 0.50 FTE requires a student to enroll for 6 graduate-level credits (see also Student Classifications section, pages 73-74). Graduate assistants must maintain a grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher for those courses included on their Program of Study. However, if a Program of Study has not been submitted to the School of Graduate Studies, a cumulative GPA is computed using all of the student’s coursework at USU since the prior degree. The GPA is checked by the School of Graduate Studies at the end of each semester. The cumulative GPA on the last 60 semester credits will be used to determine eligibility as a graduate assistant if the student has not yet started the graduate program. Graduate assistants may register for a maximum of 12 credits per semester. However, a research assistant whose assistantship involves his or her thesis or dissertation research may register for additional credits, as explained below. Teaching Assistantships/Graduate Instructors. Graduate students may be teaching assistants or graduate instructors in departments. Teaching loads vary up to a maximum of 20 hours per week, and stipends vary depending on the department and the teaching load. International students may be considered for teaching assistantships if they demonstrate adequate proficiency in English communication, as determined by Utah State University’s Intensive English Language Institute, and have participated in the required workshop. All teaching assistants and graduate instructors are required to participate in a training workshop sponsored by the School of Graduate Studies prior to beginning their assistantships. The workshops help students gain the techniques and skills to be effective instructors in the university environment. The workshop for international students also aids students in understanding the American university culture and in improving communication. When a teaching assistant workshop has been successfully com-

pleted, 1 credit will be added to the student’s transcript. However, this credit cannot be applied toward a graduate degree program. Research Assistantships. Stipends and workloads for research assistants vary, with a maximum workload of 20 hours per week. Students conducting research that will be used for their thesis or dissertation may register for 4 research or thesis credits above the 12-credit limit. Federal College Work-Study Assistantships. Graduate students may apply for work-study support by completing an online application at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. Waiver of the Nonresident Portion of the Tuition Fee. A nonresident student who holds a graduate assistantship and is receiving at least $250 per month may be awarded a waiver of the nonresident portion of tuition for courses in the student’s degree program. Out-of-state, noninternational graduate students who receive nonresident tuition waivers must apply for Utah residency at the end of their first year of study. Waivers cannot be used to audit classes. Waivers cannot be used for coursework below the 5000 level, unless the course is on the student’s Program of Study or required by the student’s supervisory committee, as indicated by a letter from the committee chair. Resident Tuition Remission for Doctoral Students. A student who is matriculated in a doctoral degree program and is a graduate assistant or graduate fellow receiving at least $600 per month may be awarded a resident (instate) tuition remission. The student must be registered for at least 9 graduate-level credits. If credits other than those required for the doctoral degree are needed to meet the 9-credit requirement, registration must be for Dept. 7990 (Continuing Graduate Advisement). A doctoral in-state tuition remission cannot be used to audit classes or for coursework below the 5000 level. Waiver/Remission. The department head must submit a waiver/remission request to the graduate dean for approval no later than the first day of classes for the semester. The waiver and/or remission must be used before the last day for registering or adding classes in the semester for which it was awarded (15th day of classes). The waiver and/or remission are available for a maximum of 12 credits per semester, with the number of eligible credits indicated on the Program of Study, which must be submitted by the end of the second semester for a master’s student and the end of the third semester for a doctoral student. Audited courses do not qualify for waiver/remission. For more information, refer to the Graduate Student Tuition Waivers and Remission Policy on the School of Graduate Studies website: http://www.usu.edu/gradsch/TuitionWaiverPolicy.htm.

Western Regional Graduate Programs (WRGP) Residents of participating states may enroll in graduate programs approved as Western Regional Graduate Programs (WRGP) by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) without paying nonresident tuition. USU’s WRGP degrees are the MS and PhD in Agricultural Meteorology, Toxicology, and Watershed Science; and the MS in Atmospheric and Space Sciences. Information is available in the School of Graduate Studies.

Fellowships Fellowship and scholarship awardees must be full-time, matriculated students enrolled in approved graduate-level course-

petitive basis through the departments. Awardees must be fulltime matriculated students and must maintain a 3.0 or higher GPA.

Presidential Fellowships include a $12,000 stipend for the academic year, a waiver of the nonresident portion of tuition, and for doctoral students, the resident tuition remission. Criteria include a 3.50 GPA and quantitative and verbal GRE scores at the 70th percentile or above.

Seely-Hinckley Scholarships are awarded each year to four graduate students with superior academic records. College deans nominate, for the following school year, outstanding scholars who would not be able to attend or would be delayed in attending USU without financial assistance.

Vice President for Research Fellowships include a $12,000 stipend for the academic year, a waiver of the nonresident portion of tuition, and for doctoral students, the resident tuition remission. Criteria are the same as for the Presidential Fellowships. In addition, the student must be in a research degree program that includes a master’s thesis or doctoral dissertation.

Other Financial Assistance

University Fellowships also include a $12,000 stipend for the academic year, a waiver of the nonresident portion of tuition, and for doctoral students, the resident tuition remission. Criteria are the same as for Presidential Fellowships. Martin Luther King Fellowships are available to African-American students. The fellowship is typically for $2,000 and includes a waiver of the nonresident portion of tuition. The department usually awards an assistantship or other support, the amount of which varies. Application for this fellowship is made through the School of Graduate Studies. Graduate Admission Procedures

Many students who do not receive assistantships or fellowships receive financial assistance by working for departments or other campus units. Graduate students are generally not employed by the University for more than 20 hours per week. Employment beyond 20 hours per week must be approved by the student’s advisor and degree-program department head. Graduate students may apply for Federal Stafford Loans, Federal Perkins Loans, Federal Supplemental Loans for Students (SLS), Emergency Loans, and Federal College Work-Study through the Financial Aid Office.

Requirements Application-for-admission forms are obtained from and returned to the School of Graduate Studies. The form must be accompanied by a nonrefundable application fee of $40 for U.S. citizens and international students. Note: Fees must be paid before applications will be evaluated. Dual Degrees. A student may apply for only one degree program at a time. If a student wishes to be considered for two degree programs, an application should be submitted for the first degree program. If admission is granted, the student may then apply for a second degree program after submitting a letter from the head of the department to which the student has been admitted. The letter should indicate that the department has no objection to the student applying for the second degree program. This application process applies to both separate and concurrent degree programs (see Concurrent Degrees, p. 80). Bachelor’s Degree. A bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university is required for admision to a graduate program. A three-year bachelor’s degree is generally not acceptable. A master’s degree may be required for admission to a doctoral program.

Grade Point Average. A minimum 3.0 GPA for the last 60 semester credits is required. Transcripts. Each previously attended college and/or university, including USU, must be listed on the application form, and the applicant must have an official transcript from each institution (except USU) sent directly to the USU School of Graduate Studies. Transcripts accumulated on one record are not acceptable. Transcripts must be submitted for all coursework above the high-school level and all prior degrees. Transcripts not in English must be accompanied by a notarized translation. Transcripts submitted as application credentials become the property of the School of Graduate Studies and will not be copied for or returned to the applicant. Admissions Tests. An admission test is required of all applicants. Scores at or above the 40th percentile are required by the School of Graduate Studies. Departments may set higher criteria. Most applicants must take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) general test (minimum of 40th percentile on the verbal and quantitative tests). Some departments will accept the Miller Analogies Test (MAT) for master’s degree applications. Applicants to the Master of Business Administration, the MS in Business Information Systems, and Master of Accounting programs are required to take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). Registration forms for the GRE and the GMAT are available at the School of Graduate Studies. Applicants should request that their test report be sent directly to the School of Graduate Studies. The official test report must be received before an application is considered complete.

Graduate General Regulations 73

Recommendation Letters. Three letters of recommendation are required; each must address the applicant’s potential for success in the proposed graduate degree program. If the applicant has been enrolled in school during the last five years, at least two of the letters must come from persons from whom the applicant has taken academic coursework. The letters must be sent directly to the School of Graduate Studies by the writers. The forms for letters of recommendation (included in the application packet) should be used.

or (3) full-time academic studies. Students placed in the Intensive English Program must remain in the program until the required English proficiency is attained. Those in category (1) are not allowed to register for non-IELI classes.

All materials submitted as part of the application credentials become the property of the School of Graduate Studies and will not be copied or returned to the student.

Application Target Dates

International Applicants. International applicants from non-English-speaking countries must demonstrate competency in the English language. A minimum score of 550 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), which is administered throughout the world, satisfies that requirement, unless the student’s department requires a higher score. An official TOEFL score is required. The TOEFL score is valid for only two years. If an international applicant has a degree from a university in an English-speaking country, the TOEFL is not required. An applicant who is admitted with a TOEFL score below 550 or below a departmentally required minimum, and who has not obtained a degree in an English-speaking country, must take the English Language Placement Test given by the Intensive English Language Institute (IELI) at USU. The test must be taken before a student is allowed to register. The results of the exam are used to place students into one of three categories: (1) full-time study of English in the Intensive English Language Institute; (2) a combination of English-language study and academic study, if approved by the IELI director, the student’s advisor, and the graduate dean;

International students must also submit an I-20 application form and a financial guarantee. Because of immigration regulations, international students cannot be admitted to provisional matriculation.

Completed application forms, transcripts, letters of recommendation, test scores, and the application fee should be submitted on or before the following dates (some departments have different deadlines; see departmental descriptions). It may not be possible to process applications for the following semester when they are submitted after the target date. March 15 for summer semester June 15 for fall semester October 15 for spring semester As soon as an application is complete, a recommendation is made by the appropriate department to the graduate dean, who must approve all admissions. The official notification of acceptance or rejection is sent by the graduate dean.

Program Continuity A fee of $20 is charged if a student begins a graduate program before or after the semester for which he or she was accepted. If a graduate student’s attendance is interrupted for more than one semester, the department or the School of Graduate Studies may require the student to reapply for admission.

Graduate General Regulations Each graduate student is responsible to know the policies, regulations, and procedures of the School of Graduate Studies and of his or her department or program, and to see that they are followed and that the timelines are met. The policies and regulations stated in this catalog and in departmental handbooks may be changed between publication dates, and students are responsible to obtain up-to-date information. Graduate General Regulations

Time Limit A master’s degree must be completed within six years of matriculation. A doctorate must be completed within eight years of matriculation. Coursework that is more than eight years old may not be used for a graduate degree. If permitted by the departmental or interdepartmental degree program policy, a supervisory committee may allow revalidation through testing, following a plan developed by the supervisory committee and approved by the dean of the School of Graduate Studies. The results must be verified in writing to the graduate dean by the student’s major professor or other person(s) responsible for the testing. Work experience cannot be substituted for out-of-date coursework or used for revalidation. Graduate credits from another institution that exceed the eightyear limit at the time of degree completion may be transferred to a USU graduate degree only if the student’s supervisory committee

provides a justification acceptable to the graduate dean. Then, the revalidation procedures described above apply.

Student Classifications A matriculated graduate student has been accepted by a department, with the concurrence of the dean of the School of Graduate Studies, to an approved graduate degree program and has enrolled at the University. A student may be accepted on a provisional matriculation basis when (1) information, such as GRE scores, is yet to be received by the School of Graduate Studies, or (2) when a missing prerequisite or academic deficiency must be remedied. The conditions and time limit for remedying these deficiencies must be specified to the student in writing at the time of admission. If the conditions are not met as specified, the student’s participation in the degree program will be terminated. International students cannot be admitted on provisional status. A full-time matriculated graduate student must be one of the following: 1. Registered for 9 or more graduate credits; or 2. Registered for 6 or more graduate credits if employed as a graduate assistant for 15 hours per week or more; or 3. Registered for 3 graduate credits with all required coursework completed and only the research component of the de-

gree remaining (the student’s Program of Study must have been submitted to the School of Graduate Studies); or

degree program, but only if approved by the student’s supervisory committee.

4. Registered for at least 3 graduate credits during the semester of the final thesis/dissertation defense or, in a nonthesis degree program, the last semester of coursework required on the student’s Program of Study.

A Split Form, which must include one or more undergraduate courses from the student’s Application for Graduation, should be filed in the School of Graduate Studies, along with a copy of the Application for Graduation, before grades are posted for the semester requested to be split. A Split Form cannot be processed after the bachelor’s degree has been closed out. The form must be signed by the undergraduate advisor and the graduate department head or departmental graduate program chair/coordinator before it is submitted to the School of Graduate Studies. If approved by the dean of the School of Graduate Studies, the form will be processed and forwarded to the Graduation Office. Approval of a Split Form does not guarantee acceptance to the School of Graduate Studies.

5. Registered for at least 9 graduate credits for each semester in which the doctoral tuition remission is received. Registration for 1 graduate credit during the semester of approval of a thesis or dissertation or the semester of completion of requirements in a nonthesis master’s degree program does not qualify a student for full-time status. A matriculated-probationary graduate student has been placed on warned status because of inadequate progress in his or her degree program. The conditions to be met and the time limit for meeting them must be specified to the student in writing at the time he or she is placed on probation. If the conditions are not met as specified, the student’s participation in the degree program will be terminated. Graduate assistants and fellowship recipients must be full-time matriculated students with a GPA of 3.0 or above, and must be registered each semester of the assistantship or fellowship, including summer. A nonmatriculated postbaccalaureate student holds a bachelor’s degree, is enrolled for USU coursework, but has not been accepted to a graduate degree program. If an application for graduate studies has been submitted to the School of Graduate Studies, a student may apply through the School of Graduate Studies to enroll as a nonmatriculated student. If the student does not intend to pursue a graduate degree, the student should apply to the undergraduate Admissions Office to enroll as a nonmatriculated student. A maximum of 12 semester credits earned as a nonmatriculated, postbaccalaureate student may be used in a graduate degree program, but only if approved by the student’s supervisory committee. An international student with a bachelor’s degree who wants to take graduate-level coursework at USU, but not be in a graduate degree program, must apply through the undergraduate Admissions Office, Utah State University, 1600 Old Main Hill, Logan UT 84322-1600, tel. (435) 797-1096. For other information about the University, he or she can contact the International Students and Scholars Office, Utah State University, 0140 Old Main Hill, Logan UT 84322-0140, tel. (435) 797-1124.

Split Form Policy An undergraduate student doing well in his or her studies and planning a graduate degree at USU may file a Split Form to request that some coursework be reserved (split out) from the undergraduate degree. The instructor’s permission is required for an undergraduate student to register for graduate courses. For a Split Form to be approved, the student must be within 30 semester credits of completing bachelor’s degree requirements, have filed an Application for Graduation in the Graduation Office, have a cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher at the beginning of the semester listed on the Split Form, and have applied for admission to the School of Graduate Studies. In accordance with School of Graduate Studies admission policy (see page 72), a transitional student will not be matriculated in the School of Graduate Studies until his or her bachelor’s degree has been completed. A maximum of 9 semester credits may be split out during a bachelor’s program, and a total of not more than 12 Split Form and nonmatriculated semester credits may be used in a graduate

Course-Level Numbering and Acceptability 7000-7990 are doctorate-level courses. With supervisory committee and instructor approval, they may be used in a master’s program. 6000-6990 are master’s-level courses. With supervisory committee approval, they may be used in a doctoral program. 5000-5990 are advanced, upper-division courses and may be used in a graduate program if approved by the supervisory committee. 3000-4990 are junior/senior, upper-division undergraduate courses. Up to 3 semester credits of coursework at this level may be used (see below). No more than 15 semester credits of 3000-5990 level coursework may be used for a graduate degree, except for a doctorate without a master’s degree, for which a total of 21 semester credits of 3000-5990 level coursework may be used. Up to 3 semester credits of coursework at the 3000-4990 level may be included within the 15 or 21 semester credit limit, upon recommendation by the student’s supervisory committee and approval by the graduate dean. To be approved, such courses must be outside the student’s graduate-degree field. Courses that students entering the graduate program are expected to have taken as undergraduates and prerequisites for graduate courses are not acceptable. 2990 and below are lower-division courses and are not acceptable for graduate degree programs of study. 6990 and 7990 (continuing graduate advisement) credits, InsT 7920, and IELI 7920 cannot be used in a degree program. Audited courses may not be used for a degree program or toward status as a full-time student. Credits in the following areas are not acceptable in a degree program: foreign languages, continuing graduate advisement, individual home study, military science, and courses numbered below 3000. No more than 12 workshop credits may be applied to a master’s degree.

Minimum Grades and Credit Acceptability Graduate students are required to maintain at least a 3.0 GPA for degree-program courses. Grades below C will not be accepted for a graduate degree. Some departments do not accept C grades. P-Grade Policy. P (Pass) will be accepted only for seminars, special problems, interdisciplinary workshops, thesis or dissertation research, and continuing graduate advisement. Credits for a course with a P grade cannot be transferred from another university.

Graduate General Regulations 75

Correspondence Course Credits. Continuing Education correspondence (independent home study) courses are not accepted for graduate degrees. Credit by Special Examination. Credit earned by special examination cannot be used to satisfy the course requirements for a graduate degree or to meet the residency requirement.

Transfer Credits A student’s supervisory committee may recommend transfer of graduate credits earned at another accredited institution. The credits must not have been used for another degree. Only 12 semester credits earned before matriculation at USU may be transferred. Credits with P grades cannot be transferred. Transfer credits cannot replace required residency credit. Transfer credits are subject to approval of the supervisory committee and the dean of the School of Graduate Studies (see Time Limit, page 73).

Rights in Inventions It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of University policy in regard to rights in inventions. (Information is available in the Office of the Vice President for Research.)

Research Approval All University research involving human subjects, animal subjects, radiation materials, recombinant DNA, or biohazardous materials must be reviewed and approved by the appropriate University committee(s) before the research is started. Graduate students are, with the assistance of their advisors, responsible for obtaining the necessary approval for their research. Verification of approval must be submitted to the School of Graduate Studies before the student’s master’s Program of Study or doctoral Application for Candidacy can be approved. For further information, contact the School of Graduate Studies or the Office of the Vice President for Research.

Continuous Graduate Registration Graduate students using University facilities or faculty time must be registered for a minimum of 3 graduate credits every semester until completion of all degree requirements, except, in some cases, the semester of final thesis or dissertation approval (see below). Students employed as graduate assistants or graduate instructors during all semesters, including summer, must be registered as full-time matriculated students (see pages 73-74). More than 3 credits of continuous registration may be required by a department. An off-campus student in a planned Extension program who is enrolled in a 1- or 2-credit course that is the only course offered locally that semester may be approved by the graduate dean for continuous registration upon written recommendation of the department head. Continuous registration may be for courses, seminars, independent study, research credit, or 6990 or 7990 (Continuing Graduate Advisement). The continuous registration requirement goes into effect the semester a student matriculates in the School of Graduate Studies. A graduate student who is not using University facilities or faculty time may meet the continuous registration requirement by paying the Continuous Registration Fee of $15 per semester (not necessary for summer semester). This alternative requires a written request from the department head, including verification that the student is not using University facilities and/or faculty time. International students usually do not qualify to pay the Continuous Registration Fee because of immigration regulations. The semester a student defends (or redefends) a thesis, Plan B paper, or dissertation or takes final oral examinations, he or she must be registered for at least 3 credits. Doctoral and master’s

Plan A and Plan B students will be given until the last day of the next semester following the defense to finish degree requirements. Plan C students will be given until the last day of the next semester after coursework completion to finish degree requirements. If a student has not completed all degree requirements by the end of the grace semester, the student must register for at least 1 credit the semester of completion and pay the Continuous Registration Fee for any intervening semesters for which he or she did not register. If working with faculty involves more than routine submission of the thesis or dissertation to the thesis coordinator, registration for 3 or more credits is required.

Leave of Absence A leave of absence, during which continuous registration is not required, may be granted under the following conditions: 1. Illness, required military service, and other extenuating circumstances acceptable to the department head and the graduate dean. 2. Lack of availability of courses in a planned Extension program. 3. Participation in a planned program based primarily on summer semester courses. For either 2 or 3, the student must have an approved Program of Study on file in the School of Graduate Studies before a leave will be granted. A leave of absence must be approved by the graduate dean, upon written recommendation of the department head. A leave of absence may be the basis for extending the time limit to complete a degree, but not to extend the time limit for course validity.

Notice of Failure to Register and Reactivation Procedures A student who does not maintain continuous registration will be notified and a copy of the notification will be sent to the department. If, after notice, the student fails to register, the department will be notified and the student’s records will be put on inactive status. On the recommendation of the department, the student’s file may be reactivated, if the time limit for the degree has not expired. The student will be required to pay the Continuous Registration Fees or register for the semesters missed, as determined by the department and the School of Graduate Studies.

Low-Scholarship Notification Students whose grade point average (GPA) is below 3.0 for any semester will be notified by letter that their academic performance is unsatisfactory. Students whose cumulative GPA falls below 3.0 will be placed on probationary status. If a student remains on probationary status for two consecutive semesters, the School of Graduate Studies will ask the student’s department to explain why the student’s graduate program should not be terminated. If the department cannot provide compelling reasons to explain why the student should continue graduate study, the student’s graduate program will be terminated. In the case of termination, reapplication is required to regain matriculation. Should a student holding a University appointment as a teaching or research assistant or fellow be changed to probationary status, the assistantship or fellowship will be terminated. Until a Program of Study is submitted to the School of Graduate Studies, the GPA will be computed using all coursework completed at USU since the prior degree. Once a Program of Study, approved by the student’s supervisory committee and department head, is filed in the School of Graduate Studies, the courses listed on it will be used to com-

pute the student’s GPA if approved by the student’s department head. Departments may have more restrictive scholarship policies.

Paragraphs a, b, and c (see page 21 of this catalog) to include cheating, falsification of information, and plagiarism.

Monitoring of Progress

Violations of the above policy will subject the offender to the University disciplinary procedures as outlined in Article VI, Section 1 of the student Code, with the penalties or disciplinary measures to include one or more of the following:

The student’s department and the School of Graduate Studies monitor the progress of graduate students. For continued participation in a graduate program, a student must complete requirements in a timely manner. In reviewing a student’s progress, several factors will be considered, including demonstrated ability to develop a thesis proposal, independence in the conduct of research, performance on comprehensive examinations, GPA, and special program requirements. Satisfactory progress also involves maintaining the standards of professional ethics and integrity expected in the student’s discipline.

Academic Nepotism A faculty member is not to participate in admission or graduate-assistant employment decisions, serve as major professor, or serve on the supervisory committee of a relative, including a person with whom he or she has or has had an amorous relationship. Graduate students may enroll in classes taught by a relative only under special conditions. For information, contact the department head or the School of Graduate Studies.

Matriculation of Faculty It is the policy of USU not to grant advanced degrees to its own faculty, except under unusual circumstances (see Faculty Policy 404.1.4).

Academic Honesty and Research Misconduct Maintaining the highest standards of academic honesty and research ethics is especially important at the graduate level, where students are expected to do original, scholarly work in preparation for future professional and academic roles. Academic dishonesty is defined in the Code of Policies and Procedures for Students at Utah State University (September 1999) Article V, Section 3,

1. Probation. Continued attendance at the University is predicated upon the student satisfying certain requirements as specified by the University. Probation is for a designated period of time and includes the probability of more severe disciplinary penalties if the student does not comply with the specified requirements or is found to be violating any University regulations during the probationary period. 2. Suspension. Temporary dismissal from the University for a specified time, after which the student is eligible to return. Conditions for readmission may be specified. 3. Expulsion. Permanent dismissal from the University. 4. Denial or revocation of a degree. Research is a vital part of the education of most graduate students, and appropriate scientific and research conduct is expected. An allegation of scientific misconduct involving funded research is handled through the Office of the Vice President for Research. If the research is nonfunded, the allegation is handled following the Code of Policies and Procedures for Students at Utah State University. Research misconduct may be determined during a student’s program or after the program is completed. If a student is found guilty of research fraud, the penalty may include, in addition to any listed above, correction and reanalysis of data and/or rewriting of the thesis or dissertation, with resubmission and redefense of the thesis or dissertation, and/or loss of financial assistance.

Appeals Procedure Graduate students with grievances relating to academic matters may appeal to the dean of the School of Graduate Studies following the steps and procedures in the Code of Policies and Procedures for Students at Utah State University.

Graduate Degree Requirements Each graduate student must be aware of degree requirements and must work with his or her major professor, supervisory committee, and department head to meet the requirements and specific deadlines. Graduate Degree Requirements

Master’s Degrees When a student is accepted to a master’s degree program, the department head appoints a temporary advisor, who may become the student’s major professor. In most master’s degree programs, a supervisory committee will be established for each student. During the first semester following matriculation, the student should meet with the department head to discuss the appointment of a supervisory committee. A completed Supervisory Committee form should be submitted by the department head to the dean of the School of Graduate Studies for final approval by the end of the student’s first semester. Committee changes are not to be made during the six weeks prior to the final defense.

A master’s degree supervisory committee must include at least three faculty members who are approved by the department head and the dean of the School of Graduate Studies. At least one member must represent the student’s area of specialization, and at least one must be from outside the specialization area. Adjunct faculty can be members with the approval of the dean of the School of Graduate Studies. Within School of Graduate Studies and departmental requirements, the supervisory committee determines the courses for the student’s Program of Study; conducts departmental qualifying examinations (if required); supervises the student’s thesis research, Plan B paper, or project; and conducts the defense or final examination. The defense or final examination must be scheduled through the School of Graduate Studies. The major professor, who serves as the chairperson of the committee, usually directs the thesis, paper, or other degree project. Three copies of a Program of Study form, one of which must be the original with signatures in ink, should be submitted to the

Graduate Degree Requirements 77

School of Graduate Studies by the student before the end of the second semester following matriculation. The Program of Study must be submitted at least two months prior to the final examination or, for Plan C programs, completion of coursework. Amendments to the Program of Study require the signature of the major professor and written notification to each member of the supervisory committee.

the graduate dean. One year each of two languages, or the equivalent as determined by approved testing, is acceptable if approved by the student’s supervisory committee. Coursework to meet this requirement cannot have been used for another degree and cannot be more than eight years old.

Plan A. The Plan A option for a master’s degree requires preparation of a thesis. From 6-15 semester credits of thesis research are required. The semesters during which a student registers for thesis credit should correspond as closely as possible to the semesters in which the thesis work is done and faculty supervision is provided.

1. Take and pass (C or above, unless the department requires a higher minimum grade) a language course at the appropriate level (i.e., the final course in a two-year sequence).

The thesis for a Plan A master’s degree is to be a contribution to the field of knowledge based on the student’s own research or a treatment and presentation of known subject matter from a new point of view. The student and major professor should decide upon a problem or subject for the thesis study by the end of the student’s first semester of graduate study. A Thesis Proposal, signed by the entire committee, should be submitted by the student to the School of Graduate Studies along with the Program of Study form. The student and all committee members are required to sign a Data and Copyright form and a Plans for Publication form. The forms are given to the student with his or her copy of the approved Supervisory Committee form and must be submitted to the School of Graduate Studies prior to the final defense. Plan B. The Plan B option requires the production of a paper or a creative work of art. At least 2 credits of thesis research are required, but no more than 3 credits of thesis credit can be included on the Program of Study. The Plan B paper is usually a review of literature, with conclusions drawn after conceptualizing an area of inquiry, planning a systematic search, and analyzing and critiquing the acquired information. The summary and conclusions developed should enhance knowledge in the discipline. Plan B papers and reports should follow the same format specifications as theses and dissertations and are expected to reflect equivalent scholarship standards, even though they may be less intensive and not demand the originality of a Plan A thesis. Plan B papers are defended, but are not reviewed by the School of Graduate Studies thesis coordinator or signed by the graduate dean. Plan B papers must be submitted to the library to be microfiched.

Approved testing procedures include the following:

2. Take a test given by USU’s Languages and Philosophy Department or at the BYU Testing Center and be certified for language equivalency for 15 or more semester credits. To obtain information on languages for which tests are available at USU and BYU, as well as to make arrangements for testing, contact the USU Department of Languages and Philosophy. 3. Arrange testing at another university center or testing agency approved by the department and the graduate dean. 4. For an international student: (a) certification of English competency through either a TOEFL score of 550 or above, a passing score on the IELI English Proficiency Test, or completion of IELI courses; and (b) certification of a second language through 1, 2, or 3 above. Credit Requirement. The minimum requirement for a master’s degree is 30 semester credits, except for a Plan C degree for which the minimum is 33 semester credits. For the MEd degree, the minimum number of semester credits is 36. The Master of Fine Arts is regarded as a terminal degree and requires a minimum of 60 semester credits. Residency Requirement. At least 24 semester credits for a master’s degree must be from Utah State University.

Post-Master’s Professional Degrees Three degrees—the Civil Engineer (CE), Educational Specialist (EdS), and Electrical Engineer (EE)—are designed for students who seek to improve their professional skills and knowledge beyond the master’s degree. The minimum requirement for each of these degrees is 30 semester credits beyond the master’s degree (60 credits beyond a bachelor’s degree). Each degree requires a project report that is prepared to the same format specifications as a thesis, but is not reviewed by the School of Graduate Studies thesis coordinator or signed by the graduate dean.

Doctoral Degrees Plan C. A master’s degree option with no thesis or Plan B paper is available in some programs. A departmentally approved program that includes a culminating creative or integrative experience must be filed in the School of Graduate Studies. Generally, a course or seminar on research methods is required, but thesis credits are not accepted. Plan C students should contact the School of Graduate Studies early in their final semester to be certain that all degree requirements, including completion of graduation forms, will be met. Master of Arts. Requirements for the Master of Arts (MA) degree (except in the Art Department) include two years (approximately 15 semester credits) of an acceptable second language, with grades of C or above (unless a higher minimum grade is required by the department), or the equivalent level of learning as determined by testing approved by the supervisory committee and

When a doctoral student is admitted, the department head appoints a temporary advisor to work with the student until a supervisory committee is established. A Supervisory Committee form must be submitted to the dean of the School of Graduate Studies for approval by the end of the student’s second semester following matriculation. Committee changes are not to be made during the six weeks prior to the final defense. A doctoral supervisory committee must include at least five faculty members with doctoral degrees who are approved by the department head and the dean of the School of Graduate Studies. Three members must be from within and at least one must be from outside the department or interdepartmental degree-granting program in which the student is matriculated. Adjunct faculty can serve on doctoral committees with the approval of the dean of the School of Graduate Studies.

78 Graduate Degree Requirements

The supervisory committee specifies the student’s Program of Study; supervises the student’s qualifying examination (if there is one) and comprehensive examination, unless some other departmental or program procedure is in place; approves the dissertation proposal and supervises the student’s research and preparation of the dissertation; and conducts the final oral examination. The major professor is the chairperson of the committee and usually directs the student’s research. Continuation in a doctoral program is contingent upon the availability of a major professor. By the end of the third semester, the student should have submitted a Program of Study to the School of Graduate Studies. Amendments to the Program of Study require the signature of the major professor and written notification to the other members of the supervisory committee. The student and all committee members are required to sign a Data and Copyright form and a Plans for Publication form. The forms are given to the student with his or her copy of the approved supervisory committee form and must be submitted by the student to the School of Graduate Studies with the Program of Study. Some departments or interdepartmental programs administer qualifying examinations. Each department or program has the responsibility of administering comprehensive examinations. Following completion of all or most courses, successful completion of comprehensive examinations, and approval of a proposal for dissertation research, and at least three months before the final defense, the student must submit an Application for Candidacy form to the School of Graduate Studies, along with a copy of the dissertation proposal, signed by all members of the supervisory committee. Submission of the candidacy form is a major step in the student’s program, because the committee and department head thereby attest that the student is ready to conduct independent dissertation research, although successful completion of that requirement is not guaranteed. Credit Requirement. The minimum requirement for a doctoral degree is 60 approved semester credits in addition to a master’s degree, or 90 approved graduate semester credits with no master’s degree. Coursework cannot be used for more than one degree. A minimum of 12 dissertation credits is required for a post-master’s doctorate and a minimum of 18 for a no-master’s doctorate. The semesters during which a student registers for dissertation credit should correspond as closely as possible to the semesters in which the dissertation work is done and faculty supervision is provided. Residency Requirement. For the PhD, a minimum of 33 USU credits is required. At least three semesters, two of which must be consecutive, of full-time registration in residency at USU are required. For the EdD, a minimum of 39 USU semester credits is required. At least three semesters must be full-time registration in residence at USU; none of the semesters need to be consecutive, but two full-time semesters must be taken on campus prior to dissertation credit. Some departments also have language requirements. With the approval of the supervisory committee and the graduate dean, graduate credit may be transferred from an accredited graduate school, provided the minimum residency requirements are met and the credit has not been used for any other degree. Transfer credit more than eight years old may not be acceptable (see Time Limit section, page 73). Transfer credits will be shown on official USU transcripts upon completion of the degree.

Preparation and Approval of Theses, Plan B Papers, and Dissertations Before beginning work on a thesis, Plan B paper, or dissertation, a student should obtain the Publication Guide for Graduate Students, available online or at cost from the USU Bookstore or Copy Center I (Main 15), and the style manual or journal approved by the supervisory committee and/or department. These documents will guide the student in the proper preparation of his or her manuscript. Theses and dissertations may be prepared in either traditional or multiple-paper format. One article or article-manuscript may not be submitted as a thesis or dissertation. Preparation of a thesis, Plan B paper, or dissertation is the culminating learning experience for a graduate student. The quality of the product, which should represent the student’s own best work, is the responsibility of the student. Monitoring the quality of the thesis, Plan B paper, or dissertation and mentoring the student in writing are responsibilities of the major professor, with the assistance of the supervisory committee. Editing by anyone other than the major professor and the supervisory committee should be limited to mechanics, such as spelling and grammar. Drafts of sections should be submitted periodically to the major professor for critique. Committee members should be consulted, especially on sections that involve their special expertise. The School of Graduate Studies thesis coordinator (in Main 164) will review an early draft for format and style. Oral Examination and Defense. The final defense should be scheduled by the student after all courses and the thesis, Plan B paper, or dissertation are completed. Changes in the membership of a supervisory committee cannot be made during the six weeks prior to the defense without a written request from the department head and approval of the graduate dean. At least four weeks prior to the defense, the student shall give a copy of the thesis, Plan B paper, or dissertation to each member of the supervisory committee for approval or corrections. An Appointment for Examination form must be completed by the student and committee, indicating approval of the proposed time and place for the examination and defense, and submitted by the student to the School of Graduate Studies a minimum of ten working days prior to the exam. The deadline for completing degree requirements is the last day of the semester. When the defense is scheduled during a semester break, the student must enroll for at least 3 credits the following semester. No committee member should agree to proceed with a defense until he or she has carefully read and approved the thesis, Plan B paper, or dissertation. If any member of a committee believes that the document is not ready to be defended, he or she should notify the student and major professor and not sign the Appointment for Examination form. The defense should then be rescheduled. The oral examination of the thesis, Plan B paper, or dissertation is a defense of a final document. Only minor changes, usually editorial, should be required following the defense. If major changes are required, a defense of the revised document should be held. The chairperson of the examination is appointed by the graduate dean. At the examination, the student defends his or her thesis, Plan B paper, or dissertation and answers questions about the area of specialization. The results of the defense and any additional requirements are recorded on the Record of Examination Completion form, which is submitted to the School of Graduate Studies. All members of the supervisory committee must approve and sign the thesis, Plan B paper, or dissertation. In the event of lack

Graduate Degree Requirements 79

of unanimity, the matter is taken to the dean of the School of Graduate Studies. Any final examination held without following the proper procedures is invalid. Graduate students failing to complete all degree requirements within one year of a successful defense will be required to redefend. Students must register for at least 3 credits the semester of redefense. The student is responsible for proofreading the thesis/dissertation and having it read and approved by the department before submitting a final committee-approved and signed copy to the thesis coordinator in the School of Graduate Studies. The thesis coordinator will review the paper for proper format and conformity to departmental and School of Graduate Studies standards and will also check to ensure that it is well-written and neatly typed and that grammar, punctuation, spelling, and other writing mechanics are correct. The coordinator will attach a checksheet of format, stylistic, and mechanical problems and will mark examples of needed changes on the paper. Format corrections and required rewriting must be completed before the thesis coordinator will submit the thesis or dissertation to the graduate dean for approval. The graduate dean examines each thesis and dissertation before approving and signing it. Any thesis or dissertation may be selected for further review by members of the faculty not on the student’s supervisory committee or by expert reviewers at other institutions before being accepted by the dean. The student may reserve a processing date for the thesis/dissertation by completing the appropriate form after the thesis/dissertation defense. The final committee-approved and signed thesis/ dissertation should be submitted to the thesis coordinator by at least the day before the reserved processing date. If a processing date has not been reserved but the student would like to finish by the end of a semester, he or she must submit the final committee-approved and signed thesis/dissertation to the thesis coordinator at least seven weeks before the last day of the summer or fall semester and at least seven weeks prior to the spring semester commencement deadline (sometime in mid-February—see Graduate Calendar on pages 68-69). At other times, the signed thesis/dissertation must be submitted at least four weeks prior to anticipated program completion.

Final Steps The following forms must be completed and submitted to the School of Graduate Studies, before degree requirements are considered completed. 1) Graduation Fee Payment Form requires $15 payment at the Cashiers Office. 2) Commencement Data Card 3) Survey of Earned Doctorates, if a doctoral student 4) Questionnaire for Hometown News Release—optional 5) Alumni Card

In addition, three copies of the thesis or dissertation and one additional copy of the title page and an abstract for Bell & Howell (150-word maximum for theses and 350-word maximum for dissertations) must be turned in to the Serials Department of the Library. The following fees must be paid at this time: Binding fee for two of the three required copies . . . . . . . $30 Binding and processing fee for personal copies* . . $15 per copy Bell & Howell (formerly UMI) Microfilming Fee . $55 (doctoral) Bell & Howell (formerly UMI) Microfilming Fee. $45 (master’s) Bell & Howell Copyright Registration Fee . . . . $45 (optional)

*The student is responsible for verifying that the personal copies are complete and have been copied and/or printed without errors.

The Serials Department personnel will provide a paper receipt, which must be submitted to the School of Graduate Studies before the degree is considered completed. The final committee-approved Plan B paper must be taken to Special Collections in the Merrill Library to be microfiched. Special Collections personnel will provide a paper-receipt that must be submitted to the School of Graduate Studies before the degree is considered completed. Also, incomplete grades must be removed from the student’s record by the major professor using forms provided by the Enrollment Services Office. For nonthesis master’s programs, the School of Graduate Studies must receive a letter of completion from the department head or interdepartmental program director. It is the student’s responsibility to make sure that these final steps are taken.

Delay of Publication Policy A thesis or dissertation must not contain material that cannot be disclosed publicly. However, occasionally it is in the University’s best interest to delay disclosure of the contents of a thesis or dissertation while patenting and/or commercial development possibilities are investigated or for a period of report review by a funding agency. In such cases, publication of a thesis or dissertation through submission to the Merrill Library and to Bell & Howell may be delayed without delaying award of the student’s degree. A copy of the publication delay policy, including the procedures for requesting a delay in library submission, may be obtained from the School of Graduate Studies.

Diplomas and Commencement Diplomas are ordered by the registrar’s office at the end of each semester. If a student needs verification of completion of a degree before the diploma arrives, the registrar will provide an official Certificate of Completion. The actual date of completion is usually the date the graduate dean approves a thesis/dissertation or the date a departmental letter of completion is received by the School of Graduate Studies. Only students completing degrees by the published Commencement deadline date for a given year will be included in the official Commencement program for that year, although other students who complete requirements by a later date during spring semester, established by the graduate dean, may participate in the Hooding and Commencement ceremonies.

Concurrent Degrees Students may pursue concurrent master’s degrees or concurrent master’s and doctoral degrees with the approval of the cooperating departments and the graduate dean.

lapping, a student could thus complete the requirements for both degrees with up to 9 fewer semester credits than the usual minimum total for two degrees.

An application should be submitted for the first degree program. If admission is granted, the student may then apply for a second degree program after submitting a letter from the head of the department to which the student has been admitted. The letter should indicate that the department has no objection to the student applying for the second degree program. To be considered as concurrent degrees, admission to the second degree program must be finalized before the end of the first semester in the first degree.

Guidelines for Concurrent Doctoral-Master’s Degree Programs. In special cases, a student may complete concurrently the requirements for a doctorate and a master’s degree in different departments with fewer than the total credits required by both programs, provided that the following conditions are met:

Guidelines for Concurrent Master’s Degree Programs. In special cases, a student may complete concurrently the requirements for two master’s degrees in different departments but with fewer than the total credits required by both programs, provided that the following conditions are met: 1. The student must formally apply and be accepted into both programs by the end of the first semester of the student’s graduate program. 2. The chairperson of the student’s supervisory committee in each department must also be a member of the other committee. 3. The supervisory committee, the two department heads, and the graduate dean must approve the Program of Study for each degree. 4. There can be a maximum of 9 credits of overlap in courses between the two degree programs, and the overlap must be in the elective or broadening courses. With the allowance of over-

1. The student must formally apply and be accepted into both programs by the end of the first semester of the student’s graduate program. 2. The student’s doctoral supervisory committee must consist of four members from the doctoral department and two members from the master’s department if the student is on a thesis plan. The master’s committee must consist of two master’s departmental members and the chair of the doctoral committee. 3. The student’s supervisory committee, the two department heads, and the graduate dean must approve each Program of Study. 4. There may be a maximum of 15 semester credits of overlap in courses between the two degree programs, and the overlap must be in the elective or broadening courses. With the allowance of overlapping, a student could thus complete the requirements of both degrees with a minimum of 75 semester credits rather than the usual 90 minimum.

In addition to programs in the departments, the MS and PhD degrees in toxicology involve more than one department. Agriculture today is a dynamic, rapidly changing industry. It includes more than farming or producing food and fiber. It embodies all the occupations connected with the production, processing, marketing, and distribution of farm products. Agriculture is the nation’s largest industry. Of the 131 million people employed in the United States, about 21 million (16 percent) work in agriculture. This includes about half a million scientists who serve agriculture directly or indirectly. The agricultural industry is the biggest buyer, seller, and borrower in the United States, and it has the largest investment of any industry. Today’s agriculture offers graduates challenging opportunities in a highly technological and competitive society. Students must be prepared to interact in such a society when they complete their formal education. The success of various curricula in agriculture is manifest by the achievements of the graduates. They are setting new standards for agricultural production and in positions as professional specialists, teachers, research investigators, and leaders in agriculture and related industries locally, nationally, and internationally. Education in agriculture includes fundamental science as well as applied business and technology. Many graduates continue their education for advanced degrees and other specialized education and training.

Admission Requirements Undergraduate students accepted in good standing by the University are eligible for admission to the College of Agriculture. 1Jointly

administered with the College of Business. 2Jointly administered with the College of Family Life.

Facilities and Equipment The Agricultural Science Building houses the administrative offices of the College of Agriculture, the Agricultural Experiment Station, University Extension, and the Plants, Soils, and Biometeorology Department. The Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Sciences Department personnel are housed in the Agricultural Science Building, the Animal Sciences Building, and the Veterinary Science Building. The Agricultural Systems Technology and Education Department is located in the Agricultural Systems Technology and Education Building. Economics is housed in the Business Building. The Department of Nutrition and Food Sciences is housed in the Nutrition and Food Sciences Building. Some classes and laboratories are located on Agricultural Experiment Station facilities near the campus, where research and teaching interact. Research units located in more distant areas of the state provide research opportunities for graduate students and faculty members.

Curricula in Agriculture Students may work toward the Bachelor of Science degree in any of the departments of the College of Agriculture. Preveterinary training is offered in the Department of Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Sciences. There are three basic curricula offered by most departments: (1) science, (2) general or production, and (3) business. Departmental listings detail the requirements for earning a degree in these curricula. Science. Students who choose the science curriculum are taught the fundamentals of physical and biological sciences that are significant to agriculture. In the basic science courses, students prepare themselves for graduate work and eventually research and teaching careers in the natural sciences. Graduates in science curricula are also prepared to do research or technical work in agriculturally oriented businesses such as farm chemicals, livestock health, feed processing and marketing, crop breeding, water use, and food processing. Science curricula are offered in the Departments of Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Sciences; Nutrition and Food Sciences; and Plants, Soils, and Biometeorology. General or Production. This curriculum is designed to educate students to meet the special demands of today’s agriculture. Successful modern agricultural production requires an under-

82 College of Agriculture

standing of the latest scientific knowledge and an ability to apply the information. The production curriculum will satisfy the needs of a student who plans to be involved in production agriculture, to be a farm manager, or to work directly with farm operators as a businessman or as a government or farm organization employee. This curriculum is offered in the Departments of Agricultural Systems Technology and Education; Plants, Soils, and Biometeorology; and in animal and dairy majors of the ADVS Department. College of Agriculture Business. The businesses and industries that buy from, sell to, and provide service for people involved in production agriculture are expanding the need for employees educated in agriculture. These enterprises include feed, fertilizer, machinery, and chemical firms that supply the producerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs, as well as marketing firms that assemble, process, ship, and merchandise agricultural products. Managers of large-scale farm enterprises also profit from the kind of education provided by the business curriculum. Students who want to capitalize on their agricultural background while pursuing a business or industrial career should consider the business option. This curriculum is offered in the Departments of Economics; Agricultural Systems Technology and Education; Nutrition and Food Sciences; Plants, Soils, and Biometeorology; and in the animal and dairy majors of the ADVS Department. Interdepartmental and intercollege cooperation has and will continue to facilitate the development of various other curricula. Students should not hesitate to inquire about the possibilities of

following a curriculum that would allow for special needs. Advisors in each department are available and should be consulted for guidance in scheduling classes and in planning careers. College of Business

Financial Support The College of Agriculture and the agricultural industry in the Intermountain West annually sponsor over 100 scholarships, internships, and assistantships. The college and the local agribusinesses also support many students through work experience programs. For further information, contact the College of Agriculture Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office (Agricultural Science 223) and/or individual department offices.

Safety and Liability in Classes and Laboratories Certain classes and laboratories involve a risk of bodily injury or of damage to clothing. Students should take appropriate precautions and wear suitable protective clothing. Some of the risks include handling or being near animals, slick floors or corrals, use of toxic or corrosive substances, and the use of sharp or breakable instruments and equipment. Students should take safety precautions during demonstrations or work with animal tissues or operative procedures. Students must assume their own liability protection for travel to and from classes, laboratories, and field trips. The University and its employees assume no liability in the performance of classroom or laboratory instruction or on scheduled field trips, or for other dangerous activities. The student, by voluntarily participating in these classes and activities, agrees to assume the risk and not hold USU or its staff liable.

Objectives The college is engaged in the following three primary areas of activity: education, outreach, and research. The college’s educational objectives emphasize preparation for professional careers in business. The managerial and technical skills associated with such preparation may also lead to careers in other types of organizations, such as health service, government, and education. This preparation is directed at both entry-level and mid-career qualifications. Thus, students can be immediately productive on a new job assignment and at the same time have the depth and breadth of education to assume increasing responsibilities. Additionally, experienced managers and business people can learn needed new capabilities and renew their educational backgrounds with college programs. An extensive offering of vocationally oriented programs in clerical and technical fields is also provided. Besides its career orientation, the College of Business educational objectives include a commitment to enhancing the lifelong learning opportunities for responsible citizenship and personal satisfaction where economic and business dimensions are critical ingredients. In implementing its outreach objectives, the college extends its resources and services to off-campus patrons by offering distance education programs and classes, participating in Continuing Education Centers, and by conducting on-site visits to individual firms and organizations, thereby enhancing the quality of life and economic well-being of citizens of the state. The college is committed to an aggressive program of basic and applied research to insure the continued enlargement of the base of understanding about business, government, and other complex institutions; about the processes of managing; and about the economic foundations upon which they function.

Assessment The College of Engineering is committed to assessing the quality of its academic departments and programs, in order to assure that the desired educational outcomes will be achieved. Faculty members within the college strive to assure that their students obtain the skills and abilities needed for success in their chosen fields. The college uses a variety of tools and methods to gather information and data to evaluate progress in meeting the college’s program goals and objectives, and to take actions to continually improve the quality of students’ educational experience.

Undergraduate Programs Objectives The objectives of the engineering curriculum are: (1) to provide students with professional competence enabling them to enter and progress rapidly in their professional careers, (2) to provide an understanding of the physical and social world in which they live and work, and (3) to provide a basis for continued intellectual growth, professionally and socially. In the engineering programs, the curricula begin with studies in mathematics, basic science, introductory engineering, and introductory engineering design. These basic science and engineering skills are coupled with communication skills, as well as courses in humanities and social sciences. The professional engineering programs continue with engineering science, engineering design, and computer utilization. Engineering design activities started during the freshman and sophomore years progress in-depth during the junior and senior years as the student’s proficiency increases. The design experience culminates with a capstone design sequence, which builds upon the fundamentals of engineering, communication skills, science, mathematics, humanities and social sciences, economics, ethics, safety, reliability, aesthetics, and social impact. The expected outcomes of the professional engineering programs are: (1) to unite engineering sciences and computer skills with engineering design to enhance the practical problem-solving abilities, decision-making proficiency, and creativity of the engineering student; (2) to provide for an understanding and appreciation of professional responsibility and ethics; (3) to expand a sensitivity to the economic, legal, and social dimensions of engineering decisions; and (4) to provide the foundation and help instill a desire for life-long learning. Studies in the humanities and social sciences serve not only to meet the objectives of a broad education, but also to meet the objectives of the engineering profession. In the interest of making engineers fully aware of their social responsibilities and better able to consider related factors in the decision-making process, the College of Engineering requires coursework in the humanities and social sciences as an integral part of the engineering program. To satisfy this requirement, courses selected must provide both breadth and depth and be planned to fulfill an objective appropriate to the engineering profession.

Admission Requirements Engineering Requirements. In addition to the policies of the University concerning admission of students, the following regulations apply to the engineering programs: 1. In order to complete an engineering curriculum in four years, high school students must complete at least two years of algebra, one year of geometry, one-half year of trigonometry, four years of English, and courses in computers, chemistry, and physics. If these courses are not taken in high school, they must be taken in college prior to starting the regular engineering programs. Students with deficiencies in several areas will probably require five years to fulfill graduation requirements. Students can earn university credits in English, humanities, and social sciences by receiving appropriate scores on the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests. Advanced placement (AP) credit may be obtained in calculus, chemistry, English, history, and physics. 2. Transfer students from other colleges or universities will be referred to the Engineering Admission Committee for evaluation.

College of Engineering 91

Criteria considered in admission decisions for transfer students include resources available in the requested department and the transfer GPA, along with an evaluation of the program of the former college or university. Decisions concerning academic standing once the student is admitted to USU will be based solely on USU grades. 3. Students registered on campus (including General Registration) must be approved by the Engineering Admission Committee before transferring to the College of Engineering. Students in this category must have demonstrated, by courses taken at USU, a potential to succeed in the major of their choice.

Professional Engineering Program Introduction. The purpose of the Professional Engineering Program (PEP) is to provide a quality education for engineering students by (1) requiring that students be fully prepared for upper-division engineering coursework by having satisfactorily completed all required preprofessional courses and (2) limiting enrollment in upper-division courses consistent with resources available within the departments and the college. Policy. Enrollment in upper-division engineering courses (3000-level and above) is available only to students who have been accepted into the PEP or an appropriate graduate program or have a nonengineering major which requires a specific engineering class for which the student has passed the prerequisite courses. Application Requirements. Current PEP applications listing the required PEP courses and admission standards are available from the various departments and the office of the Dean of Engineering. The minimum requirements a student must satisfy in order to be eligible to apply for admission to a professional program are: 1. The student must be in good academic standing in the University and the college. 2. The student must achieve a grade of C- or better in every required preprofessional course. The P/D+, D, F grading option may not be used except in freshman English Composition. 3. The student must achieve an overall grade point average of 2.3 or better for all required preprofessional coursework completed at USU. Repeated Coursework. A student can repeat no more than three of the required preprofessional courses in order to satisfy the PEP application and eligibility requirements. Multiple repeats of the same course are included in the total of three repeats. Audits count as a time taking a class unless prior written approval is obtained from the college academic advisor. Transfer Credit. Transfer credit accepted by the department and the college may be applied toward meeting the requirements for admission into the PEP; however, the grades received will not be used in the USU GPA calculation. For students with transfer credits, a final decision on admission into the PEP will not be made until after the applicant has completed at least 12 semester credits of acceptable engineering, math, and science coursework at USU. Some of this coursework may include upper-division classes taken by permission. Applications. Students should apply to the Professional Program midway through the semester in which they will complete all preprofessional courses. Students may request permission to take a limited number (not to exceed 15 credits) of upper-division courses if they are within 10 credit hours of completing the necessary requirements, have submitted a PEP application, and are registered for all remaining preprofessional courses. The final

decision on granting permission to take upper-division classes before admission to the PEP rests with the college academic advisor and the Academic Dean of Engineering. Admission Procedures. Satisfying minimum eligibility requirements does not ensure that a student will be admitted to a PEP program in a specific department. The number of students accepted in the Professional Engineering Program of a department will be based upon the number of students that can be accommodated in upper-division classes. Applicants will be ranked and selected in order of their academic standing in the required preprofessional courses. Admission into a PEP program is for a period of three years. Students unable to complete graduation requirements during this time will be interviewed by the department head to determine whether special circumstances justify their continuance in the program.

Academic Requirements The Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office of the College of Engineering maintains a handout sheet giving current details of all academic regulations of the college. It is the responsibility of the student to know the current regulations and to follow these regulations. Preprofessional Program. Students must maintain a USU GPA of 2.0 to remain in good standing both in the college and the University. Students in a preprofessional program who are not making satisfactory progress toward acceptance into a professional program or who become ineligible to enter a professional program will be suspended from the college. Students in good standing in a preprofessional program must still meet the entrance requirements for admission into a professional program. Professional Program. For all engineering majors in the professional program the following academic regulations apply, in addition to University regulations: 1. A GPA of 2.0 or higher must be maintained in all engineering/math/science courses required for, or used as technical electives in, the chosen major. Courses which were part of the preprofessional program requirements and University Studies courses are not included in this GPA calculation. 2. No more than 10 hours of D or D+ credit may be applied toward meeting graduation requirements in engineering/math/science classes. 3. College of Engineering courses may be repeated only once. Audits count as a time taking a class unless prior written approval is obtained from the department head. A maximum of three required or elective courses completed as part of a professional program can be repeated in order to meet graduation requirements. (Courses completed as part of a preprofessional program are not included in this total of three repeats.) 4. The P/D+, D, F grading option may not be used in required or elective courses completed as part of a professional program. (The P/D+, D, F grading option is approved for University Studies Courses.) 5. The academic regulations listed above (1-4) apply to required coursework and any elective engineering/math/science course which could be used to satisfy graduation requirements for the chosen degree. That is, once a student completes a particular technical elective, it becomes a required course for that student. 6. Students in violation of departmental or college academic regulations, no longer eligible for graduation, or not making satisfactory progress toward a degree, will be placed on probation.

92 College of Engineering

a. Students will be placed on probation if they (i) earn an F in an engineering/math/science course which could be used to satisfy graduation requirements for the chosen degree (see No. 5 above); (ii) have more than 10 hours of D credit (see No. 2 above); or (iii) have a GPA of less than 2.0 (see No. 1 above). b. Students remain on probation until they improve their standing by repeating and passing all failed classes, repeating classes to reduce the number of D credits to 10 or less, and/or by raising their GPA above 2.0. c. While on probation, a student must earn a semester GPA of 2.0 or higher in engineering/math/science classes and must not earn any grades of D or F. While on probation, a student may not preregister. The student’s major code will be changed to a preprofessional code. The student must meet at least once each semester with the college academic advisor to work out a schedule having the primary goal of correcting the existing academic problems.

General Engineering Engineering students are encouraged to select a major as soon as possible. Many of the courses taken during the freshman year are common to all engineering majors; however, there are significant differences in the courses taken during the sophomore year. Students who have not selected a specific major should meet with the college academic advisor for assistance in planning a personalized program. Students who choose to remain in general engineering must be prepared to meet the specific requirements of a professional program in the department of their choice.

students, and returning students should contact the Dean’s Office, College of Engineering for a scholarship application. Completed applications are always due February 1. See the Financial Aid and Scholarship Information section of this catalog (pages 22-41). There are also opportunities for employment on research projects and other activities.

Concurrent BS/Master’s Program Qualifications The concurrent BS/Master’s program allows engineering students to begin taking graduate-level classes during their senior year. This permits them to complete requirements for both the BS degree and the master’s degree concurrently during two years. Students in this program have a greater selection of graduate courses, since many graduate courses are taught during alternate years. In addition, the student’s senior design project could be a start for a graduate design project or thesis. After completing their BS degree, students in the program can earn a master’s degree in only one additional year. Both the BS and the master’s degree can generally be earned with 150 total credits, although students should note that a Plan C MS requires 3 extra credits. Finally, students with a master’s degree can expect a much higher starting salary following graduation.

The study of society, the governing of society and its history, communication in a number of languages, the various aspects of cultureâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all these appeal to an increasing number of undergraduate and graduate students. Many train for careers in these fields; moreâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;scientists, engineers, etc.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;take courses to broaden their horizons and add interest to their lives. It is probably fair to say that the social trend is toward an awareness that while material things are important they are not enough for a full life. For this, the individual may turn to literature, art, music, and theatre. Concern with environmental problems may lead the student to an investigation of landscape architecture. The complexities of modern life necessitate an understanding of the social sciences and history. It is within the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences that these needs may be met.

Admission and Graduation Requirements Students accepted in good standing by the University are eligible for admission to the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Because of limitations of faculty and/or space, a few departments within the college, such as Art, LAEP, and Sociology, Social Work and Anthropology, limit enrollment in their profes-

sional programs. See the departmental sections in this catalog and the department head for information regarding these limitations and/or requirements in addition to the University graduation requirements.

Undeclared Coordinator: Mary E. Leavitt Office in Student Center 302, (435) 797-3883 The chief function of the Undeclared program is the advisement of students who have not yet decided upon a major or area of specialization. Students in the Undeclared program typically work on their University Studies requirements while exploring major options. This allows them to make progress toward overall degree requirements and provides them with extra time to make wise, informed decisions. Undeclared students are advised by counselors in the Science/HASS Advising Center until they choose a major. Students who are enrolled in another department but feel they have chosen their major unwisely may transfer to the Undeclared program upon receiving permission from the dean of the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. No degree is offered through the Undeclared program. Most Undeclared students are freshmen or sophomores. Typically, by the junior year, most students have selected a major and are involved in taking major courses. Students do not usually remain in the Undeclared program beyond 60 credit hours or past the end of the sophomore year.

Women and Gender Studies Co-directors: Patricia Gantt, Ray B. West 412A, (435) 797-2718, Anne Shifrer, Ray B. West 301C, (435) 797-2731 Women and Gender Studies at Utah State University is a multidisciplinary program focusing on the role of gender in the everyday experiences of women and men. Students are provided with opportunities to examine the diverse experiences, perspectives, and contributions of women in the past, present, and future, both nationally and internationally. Specific courses examine the processes of gender role socialization, and the resulting cultural beliefs and stereotyped images of women from a variety of disciplines. As a result, students gain appreciation for the role of gender and its practical implications in their basic life experiences, thus preparing them to understand current and future changes in the roles of women.

College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences 97

Each semester, Women and Gender Studies courses are taught by faculty members from several areas throughout the University, including Anthropology, Journalism and Communication, English, Fine Arts, Health and Physical Education, History, Natural Resources, Political Science, Psychology, Special Education, and Sociology. Throughout the year, several special topics courses are offered, and many courses also offer Honors and graduate sections. Internship hours are available for work related to women’s issues. To meet student needs, new courses are continually developed and offered. Students may enroll in individual courses or apply coursework toward either a minor in Women and Gender Studies or an Area Studies certificate. Further information may be obtained from one of the co-directors or from the Science/HASS Advising Center (Student Center 302). College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences

Minors in Natural Resources. The college offers minors in the following areas: Environmental Studies Fisheries and Wildlife Geography/Geography Teaching Rangeland Resources Recreation Resources Watershed Science Requirements for the minors are found in the appropriate departmental sections of this catalog. Students should also consult a faculty advisor for the minor.

Objectives The College of Natural Resources provides programs of study and professional training in the use and management of natural resources and the environment. These programs deal with renewable land and water resources and the management of these resources and their ecosystems. Forests, rangelands, wildlife, fisheries, watersheds, and recreation resources comprise the natural resources and environmental areas in which the college has developed professional competence. The college’s expertise in geography provides a link between the management of these resources and their value to our society and other cultures.

Aquatic, Watershed, and Earth Resources Department Ecology (MS and PhD) Fisheries and Wildlife (BS) Fisheries Biology (MS and PhD) Watershed Science (BS, MS, and PhD)

The College of Natural Resources programs and facilities provide exceptional opportunities for field experience. Forests and rangelands comprise more than 90 percent of the total Utah land area. The Wasatch-Cache National Forest and other areas of natural lands close to the USU campus provide unlimited study projects and opportunities for demonstration. Yellowstone and other national parks are within one day’s driving distance.

Environment and Society Department Bioregional Planning (MS) Environmental Studies (BS) Geography (BS, BA, MS, and MA) Recreation Resource Management (BS, MS, and PhD)

Career Opportunities. The curricula of the college prepare men and women for positions with federal or state agencies, private-sector work in natural resources management and administration, and positions in education.

also desirable. Prospective students should realize that natural resources fields are highly technical professions, requiring not just field ability, but also high aptitude for scholarship. Success is also correlated with an ability to work well with people. Natural Resources—Undecided. Students who have not yet decided on a specific natural resources major may be admitted to the college as “undecided”. Many of the courses taken during the freshman year are common to all natural resources majors; however, students are encouraged to select a major as soon as possible. Students in the undecided category should meet with the college academic advisor for assistance in planning their educational program and selecting a major. Changes in Graduation Requirements. Students who complete a baccalaureate degree within seven years of enrollment at USU can qualify for graduation by meeting (1) the General Education/University Studies requirements in effect when they initially enrolled at USU (or any revision of the University Studies requirements that has been in effect within seven years of their graduation) and (2) the major requirements in effect when they officially declared their major (or any revision of the major requirements that has been in effect within seven years of their graduation). Students who have not completed the baccalaureate requirements within seven years of their initial enrollment at USU must have their General Education/University Studies and major requirements evaluated and approved by their department head and dean. Academic Responsibility. The departments publish current major requirement sheets each year. It is the student’s responsibility to know the current requirements and to consult with a faculty advisor in planning and completing his or her degree program. Graduation Requirements. Students must satisfy all University, College of Natural Resources, and departmental major requirements for graduation. Except for the geography teaching major, college requirements include six core courses in natural resources science and management: Geog 1130 or Geol 1150, NR/Biol 2220, NR 3000, 3600, 4000; EnvS 2340. Students must also complete a series of basic lower-division courses, providing the disciplinary foundation for the natural resource and environmental professions, before advancing to professional coursework; foundation course requirements vary among the departments of the college. Equivalents of the foundation courses can be taken at many two- and four-year colleges. Some schools also offer versions of the lower-division core courses Geog 1130 and NR/Biol 2220. Students intending to transfer to a College of Natural Resources major should consult with a faculty advisor before registering for foundation courses at another school. Some foundation and core courses can be used to satisfy University Studies requirements. College requirements also include a grade point average of 2.5 or higher for all courses taught by the College of Natural Resources.

The Interdepartmental Program in Molecular Biology consolidates and provides emphasis for research and teaching related to molecules in biological systems. Students in the college majoring in Biology or Biochemistry can receive graduate degrees with a molecular biology specialization. The Department of Biology participates in the Interdepartmental Graduate Program in Toxicology. This program offers research opportunities leading to MS and PhD degrees within several specialties of toxicology. The college also participates in an interdisciplinary, interdepartmental program in ecology which operates under the Ecology Center. The Ecology Center brings distinguished scientists to campus, fosters faculty research, and enhances graduate education in all areas of ecology.

Objectives USU has always emphasized the sciences. Modern civilization is based on science, most facets of which are fundamental in a land-grant university. Opportunities for rewarding careers are excellent in the fields of science. These opportunities exist in education, research, conservation, service, and industry. The curricula of the science departments are designed to achieve five purposes: First, they serve all students. No college graduate can be considered educated without an appreciation of scientific principles.

1Jointly

administered with the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.

Second, the college trains teachers of science at all levels of education. Highly competent teachers are absolutely essential to the continued well-being and development of society. Third, students are prepared to take positions in industry and business in a highly technological world. Fourth, education is provided in the health fields both at the preprofessional and entry level. The college has excellent programs in predental and premedical education with an exceptional record of placing students in dental and medical schools. Undergraduate degrees in the various departments of the college can be tailored to include predental and premedical training. Other programs prepare graduates to enter the health profession directly upon graduation. Fifth, the College of Science educates research scholars in many fields of science. This is accomplished by completing a sound undergraduate degree in the field, followed by years of graduate specialization. Students planning to enter the sciences are urged to discuss their plans and goals early with advisors, who are available in each academic department. Basic coursework in mathematics, chemistry, physics, and computer science is essential to most areas of science.

Admission Requirements Students accepted in good standing by the University are eligible for admission to all departments in the College of Science. Students majoring in Computer Science must qualify for advanced standing status on the basis of their academic performance. Specific details are given in the Computer Science section of this catalog (see page 197).

College of Science Core Requirements Mathematics Requirement. All bachelor degree candidates in the College of Science must complete one year of calculus, consisting of Math 1210 and 1220. In some degrees or options within degrees, the second semester of calculus may be replaced by Stat 3000. The substitution will be for specific degree programs, and not by student choice. Science Requirement. Every bachelor degree candidate in the College of Science must complete a year-long sequence outside of his or her major department. The approved sequences are: (1) Biol 1210, 1220; (2) Chem 1210, 1220; (3) Geol 1150, 3200; (4) Phyx 2110, 2120; and (5) Phyx 2210, 2220.

Science Major (Undeclared) A beginning freshman student who wishes to major in science, but who has not selected a specific major, may register in the college as an Undeclared Science Major. A course of study will be developed that will attempt to maximize transfer into the various departmental majors in the college. Students in the Undeclared Science Major will be required to transfer to a departmental major after one year of study.

Undergraduate Programs Objectives Bachelor’s degree students majoring in animal or dairy sciences may choose a program from two career emphasis areas: Science or Animal (Dairy) Industries. The curricula in the animal and dairy sciences are designed to prepare students for a broad base of rewarding careers in the dynamic disciplines of animal ag-

riculture. Teaching and research facilities, flocks, and herds are available for “hands-on” practical laboratory experiences, along with faculty-mentored research projects. An assigned faculty advisor helps students develop, arrange, and expedite their personal undergraduate program. Preveterinary bachelor’s degree programs are intended to prepare students for admission to professional veterinary medical schools and/or graduate study in the biomedical sciences. A

120 Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Sciences

preveterinary bachelor’s degree is considered a nonterminal degree. Preveterinary students may earn a bachelor’s degree in bioveterinary science, or in the science emphasis of animal science or dairy science with a preveterinary option. Instruction in the ADVS Department also encompasses a diversified co-curricular program including allied clubs, intercollegiate livestock judging and rodeo teams, and involvement with their respective professional societies. Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Sciences Animal and Dairy Sciences Science Emphasis. Designed for students desiring education beyond the bachelor’s degree, this emphasis is a preparatory course of study for students who have a career interest in the following areas: animal research in genetics; reproductive biology, nutrition (public or private sector); biotechnology; teaching; and advanced degrees (MS, PhD, and veterinary school). The science emphasis requires an especially close student-advisor relationship, as post-graduate training is considered essential for professional success in these disciplines. Animal (Dairy) Industries Emphasis. This emphasis is designed to prepare students who earn a bachelor’s degree for the broadest range of career opportunities in animal agriculture. The Animal Industries Emphasis stresses both traditional skills in the areas of basic and applied animal sciences and related learning experiences in the other agricultural sciences, as well as in the areas of business administration, economics, and management. Students can select either an advanced research project or an internship experience in the animal industries as an integral component of their program of study during the junior or senior year. Graduates from this emphasis may seek career opportunities in production animal agriculture in farm or ranch management, in state or federal government agricultural agencies, and in fields that support or interact with animal agriculture, such as corporate agribusiness, wholesale and retail marketing and sales, economics, accounting, agricultural real estate sales and appraisal, financing and credit operations, public policy, agricultural media and communications, insurance, commodity trading, animal product processing, agricultural cooperatives, and producer/commodity associations. Preveterinary Program Preveterinary students take courses required by veterinary schools. Classes should be planned to assure meeting the current requirements for the veterinary schools to which the student plans to apply for admission. In most cases, preveterinary preparation requires a major portion of three academic years. Students accepted into veterinary school prior to completion of their BS degree may transfer credits back to USU for completion of their BS degree in bioveterinary science. Utah participates in WICHE (Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education) which provides state subsidization of Utah resident (5 years or longer at the time of application) students entering any veterinary school that is a WICHE-participating school. At present this includes Colorado State University, Washington State University, Oregon State University, and University of California at Davis. Students may also apply to other veterinary schools as out-of-state applicants. Vocational Subbaccalaureate Program Dairy Herdsman Certificate. Students completing the required courses and experience in the Dairy Herdsman’s curriculum usually find employment with a commercial or family dairy. Some enter dairy-related businesses. Students desiring to continue

their dairy education may complete a BS degree in three additional years with proper planning and suitable academic performance.

Requirements Departmental Admission Requirements. Undergraduate admission requirements for the animal science and dairy science programs are the same as those described for the University. Students in good standing may apply for admission to the department. New freshmen admitted to USU in good standing qualify for admission to the bioveterinary science major. Students with less than 60 semester credits transferring from other institutions need a 2.2 transfer GPA, and students with less than 60 semester credits transferring from other USU majors need a 2.0 GPA for admission to the bioveterinary science major. All students with 60 or more semester credits need a 2.75 total GPA to be admitted to advanced standing in bioveterinary science. Departmental Standards. The following minimum requirements apply to all students working toward any bachelor’s degree offered by the ADVS department. Bachelor’s degree candidates must comply with these requirements in order to graduate: (1) courses required for the major may be repeated only once to improve a grade, and (2) courses required for the major may not be taken for pass-fail credit. In addition to these requirements, animal science and dairy science bachelor’s degree candidates must attain a grade point average of 2.25 in the ADVS courses specified as requirements in their respective emphasis curricula to graduate. Bioveterinary science degree candidates must attain an overall GPA of 3.0 to graduate.

For more information about Bachelor of Science requirements and the sequence in which courses should be taken, see major requirement sheets. For more information on ADVS Department minors, see minor requirement sheet. These are available from the ADVS Department main office (AG S 230). Successful completion of a bachelor’s degree program in the ADVS Department requires that a very close student-academic advisor relationship be established and continued through each student’s bachelor’s degree program. Each student must take the responsibility of establishing this close working relationship with his or her advisor. Doing this soon after the student’s entry into the department can keep academic problems to a minimum. For updated information on ADVS programs and course offerings, check the departmental home page at: http://advs.usu.edu/advs/home.html.

Safety and Liability in Classes and Laboratories Certain classes and laboratories involve a risk of bodily injury or of damage to clothing. Students should take appropriate precautions and wear suitable protective clothing. Some of the risks include handling or being near animals, slick floors or corrals, use of toxic or corrosive substances, and the use of sharp or breakable instruments and equipment. Students should take precautions to avoid fainting during demonstrations or work with animal tissues or operative procedures. Students must assume their own liability protection for travel to and from classes, laboratories, and field trips. The University and its employees assume no liability in the performance of classroom or laboratory instruction or on scheduled field trips, or for other dangerous activities. The student, by voluntarily participating in these classes and activities, agrees to assume the risk and not hold USU or its staff liable.

Financial Support In addition to the scholarships and other financial aid available through the University, the department awards designated scholarships to qualified students (for details, refer to Scholarships and Awards in the College of Agriculture in the Financial Aid section of this catalog, pages 26-29). The department employs students on a part-time basis to assist with its research and operate its animal facilities. The department also coordinates cooperative education and internship employment opportunities for students.

Undergraduate Programs

Degrees Offered

Objectives

Bachelor of Science Degree

The Department of Artâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary goal is to prepare undergraduate students for careers in either teaching or the applied and fine arts. Requirements in nine different emphasis areas address the specific needs of each career. The Department of Art also serves the University community by offering courses in the University Studies program and by offering training in applied art areas for students in related degree programs.

The BS degree is a general art degree for the student who is not interested in specializing in one area of art. This degree requires 50 semester credits in Art courses, 30 credits in University Studies courses, and allows for 40 elective credits. A GPA of 2.5 is required for the BS degree. No grade less than C is acceptable in any art class. Art classes may be retaken for a higher grade. This degree does not fulfill the requirements for entrance into graduate schools of art.

Departmental Admission Requirements Entering freshmen are admitted to the Department of Art as BS candidates by meeting the Utah State University admission requirements. New freshmen admitted to USU in good standing must submit a portfolio of 10 35 mm slides of their best work or complete a series of designated drawing and design problems. Details are available from the Art Department. Entrance to the BFA program in studio art is accomplished by formal application after completion of the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foundation courses. Students applying for this degree program should have a GPA of at least 2.75. Application to the BFA program is done by portfolio review and should be made during the spring semester in which the prerequisites will be completed. Transfer students should make application during the spring semester prior to their entrance to USU to arrange for the portfolio review of their work prior to acceptance in the department. Participation in the BA program in Art History is limited to students with at least a 2.5 GPA.

Bachelor of Arts Degree This degree is available primarily to students selecting an emphasis in Art History at USU. BA degree candidates should complete the majority of University Studies lower-division requirements, the modern language requirement, and the foundation curriculum by the end of the sophomore year. This will allow concentration in an area of specialization during the junior and senior years. In addition, BA candidates must either complete requirements for the Art History Emphasis, as listed below, or the general art requirements as listed under the BS degree. The major professor may also prescribe other courses to serve the particular needs of different students. A minimum of 50 semester credits in art is necessary for this degree.

Art 135

Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree The BFA is a professional art degree requiring above-average accomplishment in art. Only students demonstrating considerable promise will be accepted for this more demanding professional degree. Students interested in the BFA degree program must have a GPA of at least 2.75. Application to the BFA program must be made during the spring semester in which the art foundation courses will be completed. For most students, this will occur at the end of their sophomore year. Transfer students may make application during the spring semester prior to their entrance to USU. A minimum 2.75 grade point average in the foundation and basic core and a minimum grade of B- in each emphasis class is required. Emphasis classes can be retaken for a higher grade. A minimum of 70 semester credits in Art, including 12 semester credits of Art History and 2 credits in BFA exhibition (spring semester), must be completed for the BFA degree. The standard University Studies requirements and 20 credits of electives also apply. Art

Department of Art Curriculum Foundation Courses. Students in the BS, BA, and BFA degree programs (except for students in the Art History emphasis) need to complete the following foundation curriculum. (Art History students should instead complete the BA foundation courses, which are listed in the Art History section.) Suggested Sequence: Freshman yearâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;first semester: Art 1110 (or 1140), 1120 (or 1150), 2710. Freshman yearâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;second semester: Art 1130 (or 1160), 2140, 2720. Subsequent curriculum requirements are specific to these individual emphasis areas: Art Education. The art education curriculum prepares students to teach art in the public schools. Students graduate with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree in art and obtain a secondary education teaching license. The BFA degree requires 70 credits in Art courses. A minimum of 45 credits must be completed in the core and broadening area: Art 1110 (or 1140), 1120 (or 1150), 1130 (or 1160), 2140, 2200, 2230, 2400, 2600, 2650, 2710, 2720, 2800 or 2810, and 6 credits in upper-division art history courses. A minimum of 25 art credits must be taken in a specialization area. The secondary education teaching license requires the following courses: Art 3000, 3300, 4000, 4300, 5500, 5600; InsT 5200; ScEd 3100, 3210, 4200, 4210, 5300; SpEd 4000. Art History. For the BA degree in Art with an emphasis in Art History, 50 semester credits in the major are required, with a 2.5 grade point average required for graduation. The following foundation classes (21 semester credits) must be completed within the first four semesters: Art 2710, 2720; Hist 1040, 1050; 9 credits chosen from the following courses: Art 1100, 1110 (or 1140), 1120 (or 1150), 1130 (or 1160), Hist 3220, 3230, 4230, LAEP 2300, or Phil 3810. Advanced courses (24 semester credits) should be selected from: Art 3820, 3830, 4710, 4720, 4730, 4740, 4750, 4760, 4790, 5700, and 5710. Four semesters of one foreign language or two semesters each of two foreign languages are required. A minor in a related area, or specific courses chosen in consultation with the advisor, is also required.

Ceramics. Contemporary ceramics represents the extension and synthesis of clay sculpture and vessel traditions. Students are acquainted with the technology of ceramic materials and firing processes, while developing sound craftsmanship as a means to personal expression. Enrichment is provided through the ceramics collection of the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum, numerous ceramics exhibitions, and visiting guest artists. Juniors and seniors in the program may compete for one of the Ellen Stoddard Eccles Scholarships, an endowed scholarship fund set aside especially for undergraduate ceramics majors. Students must complete the following courses for a Ceramics emphasis: Art 2600, 2650, 3610, 3650, 3660, 4610, 4640, 4650, 4910; Chem 1010 or Chem 1110 and 1130; and Geol 1100 or 1150. Art 4640 and 4650 must each be taken during at least two semesters.

Drawing. Drawing is the two-dimensional study of form and space, as well as the exploration of drawing media, graphic elements, and visual dynamics. It is an essential discipline for all artists, as it provides the fundamental visual skills needed in their search for a personal idiom. At the same time, drawing itself is also a vehicle of creative expression, visual adventure, and self-discovery. Students must complete the following courses for a Drawing emphasis: Art 2140, 2200, 2230, 3200, 3260, 3610, 4250, 4260, 4710, 4910, and 5220. One course must be chosen from Art 3230, 3240, and 3250. Two additional upper-division art history courses are also required. The remainder of the 70 semester credits can be taken as electives.

Graphic Design. Graphic design is the study of visual communications and the art of presenting information. Visual elements, such as animation, photography, illustration, symbols, and type, are designed or arranged using various techniques and materials. Materials range from traditional ink, paper, and printing presses to video and the internet, using the latest computer software and hardware. Students in graphic design complete a variety of courses that involve working with symbols, trademarks, typography, layout, and all formats of print and publication design. Illustration, digital imaging, motion graphics, animation, and interactive media are also part of the graphic design curriculum. Seniors may specialize in one or more of these areas of study and create a professional portfolio specific to their interests. Graphic Design emphasis students should complete the following courses: Art 2400, 2810, 3400, 3410, 3420, and 4910. A total of 18 semester credits must be taken in 4000- and 5000-level graphics courses, and 6 semester credits of 4000-level art history courses must be completed.

Painting. The painting curriculum emphasizes an analysis of historical approaches to painting, and the exploration of new ideas, techniques, and materials. Basic courses are designed to foster a respect for the craft of painting, and subsequent courses encourage application of the craft to expressive goals. Central to the focus of painting study at USU is the development of a personal portfolio reflecting the specific interests of the individual. Students must complete the following courses for a Painting emphasis: Art 2200, 2230, 2600, 2650, 3200, 3260, 3610, 4200, 4260, 4910, and 5200. In addition, one course must be selected from the following: Art 3230, 3240, or 3250. Also, two upper-division courses (3000 level and above) in Art History are required.

Photography. Found throughout all of contemporary life, photographic images shape the way we document, interpret, and direct our lives. As an art form, photography constantly reinvents our concept of beauty, reality, and culture. Within the program in photography, students learn the aesthetic and technical skills of the medium. The fundamentals of craft and the “hands on” application of knowledge at each level will enable the student to pursue a variety of photographic professions. Requirements for the Photography emphasis include: Art 2140, 2810, 3810, 3820, 3830, 4810, 4820, 4830, 4910, 5810, 5820, 5830, and 5840. Printmaking. Students in the printmaking emphasis have the opportunity to explore all aspects of traditional and contemporary printmaking. After an introduction to the basics of intaglio, lithographic, silkscreen, and relief processes, students are encouraged to continue their development in a specific area of interest. Independent studio projects will investigate the wide field of printmaking, providing a framework for the student to become engaged in a creative pursuit involving both technical and aesthetic considerations. Requirements for the Printmaking emphasis include: Art 2230, 2810, 3230, 3240, 3250, 3260, 4250, and 4910. Also, students must choose two of the following courses: Art 4710, 4720, 4730, 4740, 4750, and 4760. Sculpture. Sculpture is the three-dimensional expression of ideas. Its range extends from discrete, permanent objects to ephemeral, multi-media environments. Students in the sculpture emphasis develop a base of knowledge in traditional approaches to the creation of form. After gaining competency in figure modeling, as well as in stone or wood carving, they explore both site-specific sculpture and sculptural installations. Intemediate and advanced students investigate specific problems involving technical, aesthetic, and conceptual considerations. They develop their own direction, based on both experience with form, materials, and techniques, and an understanding of traditional concerns and contemporary issues in the vast field encompassed today by sculpture. The following courses are required for students in the sculpture emphasis: Art 2600, 2650, 2810, 3610, 4610, 4910, 5610, and 5620. In addition, students must complete 6 credits of 4000-level art history courses. Also, Art 3260 is recommended. Other required courses outside of the Art Department are: two Industrial Technology and Education (ITE) courses, and one design course taken through Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning (LAEP), Theatre Arts (Thea), or Human Environments (HEnv).

Minor Requirements Art Minor The requirements for a minor in art are flexible and can be completed in most areas of specialization. Generally, the minimum requirements include Art 1110, 1120, and 1130, depending on area of specialization, plus 3 semester credits from the art history group (Art 1100, 2710, and 2720), and 12-15 credits in a specialization area. To plan a minor in Art, students should meet with an advisor. USU does not offer an art teaching minor for secondary teachers. Students choosing to train for teaching art in secondary schools must complete the art education major listed under art specialties and must comply with all requirements listed by the Department of Secondary Education.

Art History Minor A minor in art history requires Art 2710 and 2720, plus 9 credits from the art history group.

Graduate Programs The Department of Art offers two graduate degrees and cooperates with the College of Education on another degree. The Master of Arts (MA) and the Master of Fine Arts (MFA) are offered by the Art Department. A Master of Education (MEd) with a specialization in art is offered through the College of Education.

Master of Arts Students are selected for the MA program on the basis of a portfolio demonstrating artistic individuality and a level of development beyond the need of classroom instruction.

Admission Requirements All applicants are required to have earned a bachelor’s degree in the visual arts or its equivalent. During the last two years of undergraduate work, the GPA in art courses must have been at least 3.0 on a 4 point scale. MAT scores should be at or above the 40th percentile. Applicants taking the GRE should have verbal and quantitative scores at or above the 40th percentile.

Degree Requirements Candidates for the MA must complete a minimum of 30 credits, to include: (1) 21 graduate studio credits, which may be divided into two or three areas of study at the graduate level; (2) 3 credits which may be earned in classes outside the department; (3) 3 credits of art history; and (4) 3 credits of Research and Thesis. In conjunction with the thesis exhibition, the student is required to submit bound and illustrated documentation of the thesis project. A total of 12 credits of art history, including undergraduate credits, is required for graduation, but only 3 credits earned as a matriculated graduate student at USU may be applied toward the 30-credit MA requirement. The additional 9 credits of art history may include credits earned at the undergraduate level. A candidate must complete a minimum of two semesters in residency. Nine credits per semester is considered full-time graduate enrollment, while 12 credits are considered the maximum enrollment. A minimum of three semesters is thus required to complete the 30-credit program.

Master of Fine Arts The Master of Fine Arts degree is the terminal degree in the visual arts field. The MFA program is designed to allow students to mature to a level of professional competence in the making of art. Related studies augment a rigorous studio program. The prospective student must exhibit both academic excellence and a well-developed personal artistic vision.

Art 137

Admission Requirements All applicants are required to have earned a BFA degree in the visual arts or its equivalent, including a minimum of 12 credits of art history. During the last two years of undergraduate work, students must submit either MAT or GRE scores. GPA in art courses must have been at least 3.0 on a 4-point scale. MAT scores should be at or above the 40th percentile. Applicants taking the GRE should have verbal and quantitative scores at or above the 40th percentile.

Degree Requirements Students must earn 60 credits, to include: (1) 43 credits of graduate-level studio art as determined by the student in consultation with his or her major professor, including a minimum of 6 credits outside of the emphasis area; (2) 6 credits of Graduate Seminar; (3) 2 credits of Graduate Interdisciplinary Critique; (4) 6 credits outside the Art Department as specified by the supervisory committee; and (5) 3 credits of Research and Thesis, which concludes with an MFA thesis exhibition and an oral defense. The MFA thesis is a visual presentation, the equivalent of a written dissertation in other disciplines. The thesis exhibition is the single most important feature of the MFA program; the culmination of at least two years, and often three or more years, of intensive study in a single discipline. In conjunction with the thesis exhibition, a student must submit bound and illustrated thesis documentation and an adequate selection of slides. The MFA program is a resident program; it is not possible to complete the requirements for graduation by correspondence. The program is predicated upon the assumption that students will live in the Logan Area. Students must complete a minimum of four semesters in residency. Nine credits per semester is considered full-time graduate enrollment, while 12 credits are considered the maximum enrollment. A minimum of five semesters is thus required to complete the 60-credit program; most students require three years.

Application Procedures Completed applications must include: (1) completed application forms; (2) a letter of intent; (3) transcripts of all previous graduate and undergraduate work; (4) three letters of recommendation from qualified professionals; (5) GRE or MAT scores; and (6) the $40 application fee. These materials must be sent directly to the School of Graduate Studies. When complete, applications will be forwarded by the School of Graduate Studies to the Art Department for review. A portfolio of twenty 35mm slides of recent work must be mailed directly to: Graduate Coordinator, Department of Art, Utah State University, 4000 Old Main Hill, Logan UT 84322-4000. Completed applications and slide portfolios must be received by February 1. Students should note that applications will be considered only at this time, and only completed applications will be reviewed. Admission will only be considered for fall semester. The deadlines for financial aid may be earlier than the admissions deadline. For further information about financial aid, visit the Financial Aid Office in Taggart Student Center 106; write to: Financial Aid Office, Utah State University, 1800 Old Main Hill, Logan UT 84322-1800; or phone (435) 797-0173.

Applications are reviewed by the Art Department faculty. Candidates are selected primarily on the basis of their portfolio, which should demonstrate a level of development beyond the need of classroom instruction and encouragement. The faculty will also look in the portfolio for evidence of significant personal exploration. Secondary to the portfolio, but important nonetheless, the applicant’s letter of intent and letters of recommendation will also be given careful consideration. In reviewing these letters, the faculty will look for, among other things, indications that the applicant will be capable of prolonged and concentrated effort, guided by realistic personal goals. Letters should address both academic and artistic accomplishments, as well as potential for further growth in both of these areas. Applicants are strongly encouraged to visit the USU campus and meet with the faculty in their proposed field of study well in advance of the February 1 application deadline. Important Note. Please note that the graduate programs in the Art Department have limited enrollment; admission is very competitive. Because only a small fraction of applicants can be accommodated, there can be no guarantee that applicants who meet minimum admission requirements will be acccepted into master’s programs.

Financial Assistance Departmental support is available to graduate students on a competitive basis. Students requesting financial support should apply to the department by February 15. Other assistance is available through the University Financial Aid Office. Students should note that applications for Federal work-study should be mailed during the first week of February.

Mission The mission of the Department of Biological and Irrigation Engineering (BIE) is to teach students preparing to become biological engineers how to apply engineering principles and the knowledge of biological sciences to the solutions of bioresource problems. The department also prepares students for entry into other professions, such as biomedical engineering, medicine, or law. The BIE program is designed to help students learn to manipulate biological materials for useful purposes, understand the biological literature, and be able to communicate with biological scientists. Biological engineering encompasses engineering applications in a broad range of biological systems. The biological engineering curriculum at USU emphasizes bioprocess and biomedical engineering, as well as soil and water resource systems engineering. The curriculum at both the Bachelor of Science and graduate levels is designed to prepare students for a wide variety of professional jobs related to the utilization, management, and protection of bioresources.

Scope and Objectives The objective of the Biological Engineering Program is to provide students with broad-based engineering skills necessary to

solve biological-based problems. Students first learn to integrate biological sciences with conventional studies in mathematics and chemistry. These skills are broadened with a liberal exposure to humanities and social sciences, then sharpened with the study of engineering topics which develop practical problem-solving abilities; expand a sensitivity to the economic, social, and legal dimensions of technical problems; provide an understanding of ethics and professional responsibility; and stimulate a desire for life-long learning.

Outcomes The Biological Engineering curriculum emphasizes three important outcomes: 1. The knowledge needed to identify, formulate, and perform the functions of a biological engineer. 2. The intellectual skills and creative abilities graduates should possess in order to design systems and conduct experiments in an interdisciplinary team setting, as well as the ability to use these skills in modern engineering practice. 3. The specific career-preparation competencies of ethical responsibility, effective communications, comprehension of engineering in the global context, and a commitment to life-long learning and self-improvement.

Biological and Irrigation Engineering 143

Assessment and Evaluation The BIE Department is committed to an assessment process aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of BIE programs in preparing graduates as productive professionals. The foundation of departmental assessment is the undergraduate accreditation by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). The accreditation activities performed every six years by the EAC/ABET provide the only formal and external review of the undergraduate program. This assessment insures that the USU program meets an overall objective and structure consistent with similar programs in the U.S. and Canada. The biological engineering program that currently exists is the result of integrating the results of this formal assessment with the day-to-day assessments garnered from both students and faculty. To insure the overall quality of the program, the department conducts several specific assessments. These are: 1. Annual faculty survey 2. Teaching evaluations 3. Graduating student exit interviews 4. Fundamentals of Engineering Examination performances

Biological Engineering Curriculum Biological Engineering is divided into a preprofessional and a professional program involving either a four-year or a five-year schedule that will satisfy the requirements for a BS degree in Biological Engineering. Students receiving credit from the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) or from Advanced Placement (AP) may complete a BS degree program in less than four years. The academic work, particularly in the junior and senior years, is supplemented by hands-on laboratories which are required as part of the coursework. Modification in the program to meet special needs and priorities of a student may be obtained with the approval of the department head and advisor.

Preprofessional Program: BIE 1880, 2330; Chem 1210, 1230, 2300, 2330; Engr 1010, 2000, 2020, 2200; Biol 1210; Engl 2010; ITE 2270; MAE 2400; Math 1210, 1220, 2250; Phyx 2200; and three credits of communication literacy.

Professional Program: BIE 3000, 3200, 3670, 3870, 4880, 4890; Biol 3300, 5200; CEE 3500; Chem 3700, 3710; Stat 3000; ECE 2200; Biological Engineering Electives (6-21 credits); Engineering Electives (0-15 credits); Technical Electives (0-12 credits); and University Studies (18 credits).

Additional Information Biological and Irrigation Engineering

Undergraduate Programs General biological engineering concepts include the properties of biological materials, electronics and instrumentation, computer use and programming, engineering mechanics, thermodynamics, computer-aided drafting, bio-environmental transport phenomena, and fluid mechanics.

For more information about the Bachelor of Science requirements and the sequence in which courses should be taken, see major requirement sheet, available from the Biological and Irrigation Engineering Department.

Financial Support

Students gain a strong foundation in biological, chemical, and physical sciences. Each student then selects an option within the field, based on personal interest. These areas of study are tailored for each student with 24 semester credits of technical electives and one-on-one academic advisement with a member of the faculty. Design is a major theme of both the student’s general coursework and specialization, with most courses including open-ended design problems. The entire design experience is brought together in a capstone design course.

Scholarships, assistantships, grants-in-aid, and work-study programs are available through the University. In addition, the department employs students to assist in engineering research and development. Cooperative education and industrial employment opportunities for students are coordinated by the University Placement Office.

The Biological Engineering Program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (EAC/ABET).

Concurrent BS/Master’s Program

Requirements Admission and Graduation Requirements. The student who is majoring in or planning to major in Biological Engineering needs to be aware of the College of Engineering requirements concerning admission to the college, pre-engineering, admission to the professional engineering school, general education, and other academic requirements. Additional information concerning these items is given in the College of Engineering write-up on pages 90-92. It is the responsibility of the student to be aware of these rules and regulations.

The concurrent BS/Master’s program allows engineering students to begin taking graduate-level classes during their senior year. This permits them to complete requirements for both the BS degree and the master’s degree concurrently during two years. Students in this program have a greater selection of graduate courses, since many graduate courses are taught during alternate years. In addition, the student’s senior design project could be a start for a graduate design project or thesis. After completing their BS degree, students in the program can earn a master’s degree in only one additional year. Both the BS and the master’s degree can generally be earned with 150 total credits, although students should note that a Plan C MS requires 3 extra credits. Finally, students with a master’s degree can expect a much higher starting salary following graduation. (For more information, see College of Engineering section of this catalog, page 92.)

144 Biological and Irrigation Engineering

Graduate Programs Admission Requirements See general admission requirements, pages 72-73. Admission committees also consider experience, undergraduate record and curriculum, and formal recommendations. A student without an undergraduate engineering background will be required to complete selected undergraduate courses prior to or concurrently with enrollment in graduate courses. Prerequisites for Matriculation. Students who are admitted provisionally or who have been changed from matriculated to probationary matriculated status will have their records reviewed by a faculty committee when they have completed 12 credits of coursework (among which must be formal engineering courses) or at the end of their second semester at USU. Those students who have earned a 3.0 GPA at that time and desire to be matriculated may apply to the department to have their status changed. If they meet all other academic requirements of the School of Graduate Studies and the department, they will be matriculated and admitted to the degree program. When a student is admitted as a degree candidate, the committee may allow up to 12 credits taken while on nonmatriculated status to be transferred. Nonmatriculated students may continue to study at USU but without degree candidate status. At the end of their studies, nondegree students are granted a Certificate of Completion. Prerequisite Requirements. All students must have had formal courses in engineering and computer programming, as well as at least one year of calculus. Students without this background can satisfy these requirements by taking the appropriate undergraduate courses at USU. An additional year of calculus (Math 1210, 1220, and 2250, or equivalent) is required for the MS degree in Irrigation Engineering and for all PhD programs. These background courses will not be counted toward the degree credit requirements. MS in Biological and Agricultural Engineering and in Irrigation Engineering Students must have a BS from an ABET-accredited engineering program in the U.S. or its equivalent in their home countries or must take the make-up coursework required for a BS in engineering at USU. It is assumed that the bachelor’s degree mathematical training includes courses in calculus, linear analysis, and differential equations. Three MS options are available: research (Plan A), technical practice (Plan B), and training/extension (Plan C). All MS students are admitted initially into the technical practice (Plan B) option. They may subsequently transfer to one of the other two options depending upon interests and skills.

Research Option. Students wishing to gain experience in irrigation research may select the research option, particularly if they have a long-term goal of PhD study. The minimum requirements for this option are 30 credits, of which 8 may be awarded for the thesis.

Technical Practice Option. Some students wishing to study for either the biological and agricultural engineering degree or the irrigation engineering degree may not be interested in pursuing a PhD degree or in doing the research necessary for a thesis. For such students, the technical practice (Plan B) option is offered.

The requirements for the degree are similar to those for the research option, with the exception of the thesis. The 8 thesis credits are replaced by 4 credits for a significant engineering report or design project and 4 additional credits of coursework. The minimum course requirement for the technical practice option is 30 approved graduate credits.

Training/Extension Option. Students expecting to terminate their graduate studies at the MS level and wishing to develop an emphasis in the training and/or extension fields of biological and agricultural engineering, or irrigation engineering, may choose the training/extension option (Plan C). The same engineering BS or equivalent requirements noted under the Plan A option apply. The minimum requirements for this degree are 30 approved graduate credits. No report or thesis is required. The degree requirements under this option can be met by taking courses.

Doctor of Philosophy Two PhD programs are offered in the department: (1) Biological and Agricultural Engineering, and (2) Irrigation Engineering. Students who have completed an MS with a thesis (Plan A or equivalent) in an engineering discipline are eligible to apply for admission to a PhD program in either biological and agricultural engineering or irrigation engineering. Admission will be based on the students’ prior academic records and, if they are graduates of USU, the recommendations of their graduate committees. It is assumed that students are adequately prepared in mathematics and engineering design courses to compete at the PhD level. If such is not the case, a program of courses to make up the deficiency will be required. In addition to any prescribed review courses and seminars, the minimum requirements for a PhD program include 60 credits of approved graduate courses beyond a master’s degree, satisfactory completion of the comprehensive examinations after completion of the formal coursework, and the writing of a dissertation based on an original research project. The degree requirements beyond a master’s degree can be met by taking courses in engineering design, synthesis, and systems; mathematics; and related science.

Research In more than 80 years of irrigation engineering experience, USU has attained worldwide prestige through the successful professional records of its many graduates. The department is heavily involved in overseas research and training activities concerned with managing irrigation systems, on-farm water management, and water resource development. Research projects in several areas of irrigation and drainage engineering are currently being conducted by the department. Hence, graduate students have the opportunity to conduct research for their degree programs and obtain financial support. Current projects include hydraulics of surface irrigation, consumptive use, return flow quantity and quality of irrigation waters and application techniques, transient flow in tile drainage systems, drain envelopes, sprinkler irrigation, trickle irrigation, crop production and water requirements, salt movement, regional groundwater modeling for optimizing sustainable yield, conveyance system modeling and control, and remote sensing.

Undergraduate Programs Objectives Biology. The Department of Biology offers programs leading to a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree. Majors will complete a core of courses which provide an understanding of biological principles. Upper-division courses provide integration, in-depth study, and an opportunity for specialization within the different degree emphases. Additional coursework in chemistry, physics, statistics, and mathematics provides knowledge and analytical skills in these important related fields. Most biology de-

grees provide a foundation for graduate work. Biology majors can add a minor area of study, such as business or chemistry, to enhance their employment opportunities. Prehealth Professions Programs. The Department of Biology supervises premedical, predental, and other health professions. These programs satisfy entrance requirements for most medical and dental schools in the United States and Canada and are recognized for the high quality preprofessional preparation they provide. After four years, the student receives a BS degree in Biology or another major. Coordinator: Susan Haddock, BNR 101. Advisor: Andy Anderson, VSB 231.

Biology 149

Composite Teaching—Biological Science. This major combines content training in biology and related fields (including chemistry, physics, geology, mathematics, and statistics) with education courses. Graduates are licensed to teach at the secondary level. Public Health. The Department of Biology offers preprofessional training in public health. Individuals completing the BS degree have employment opportunities in such areas as environmental health, industrial hygiene, public health education, administration, nursing, nutrition, mental health, and social work. Advisor: David O. Wallace, BNR 333. The Department Head, the Director of Undergraduate Studies, and advisors in the Department of Biology are available to provide undergraduate majors with additional information regarding specific programs and career opportunities. The Biology Advising Center and the Director of Undergraduate Studies are located in BNR 101. Program requirements, advising information, and an “Ask an Advisor” e-mail service are on the Department of Biology web page at http://www.biology.usu.edu. Students with majors in the Department of Biology should consult with their advisors regularly as they plan their course of study. Students have the responsibility to keep themselves aware of major requirements and course prerequisites. General requirements, specific course offerings, and the semesters that courses are taught may change. Mathematics is an important and required skill to enhance one’s success in the sciences. Proper course level placement in mathematics at the beginning of the degree program is essential. Students should consult with an advisor to determine the appropriate level to begin their mathematics studies for meeting requirements and completion of their major. For detailed information, obtain an official Major Requirement Sheet from the Biology Advising Center.

Requirements University Requirements. Students are responsible for meeting all University requirements for total credits, upper-division credits, credits of C- or better, and the University Studies Program. (See pages 53-63 in this catalog.) College of Science Requirements. All college requirements are met by completing the departmental degree requirements; no additional coursework is required. Departmental Admission Requirements. New freshmen admitted to USU in good standing qualify for admission to the Biology and Public Health majors. Transfer students from other institutions need a 2.25 transfer GPA, and students transferring from other USU majors need a 2.25 total GPA for admission to the Biology and Public Health majors in good standing. Admission requirements differ for the Composite Teaching—Biological Science Major, as explained below. Admission Requirements for the Composite Teaching—Biological Science Major. New freshmen admitted to USU in good standing qualify for admission to this major. To qualify for admission to the Secondary Teacher Education Program (STEP), new freshmen must acquire a cumulative 2.75 GPA and 60 credits of coursework. Transfer students from other institutions or other USU majors need a cumulative 2.75 GPA and 60 credits of

coursework to be admitted to the major and the STEP. For information on additional admission criteria, students should contact the Department of Secondary Education.

GPA Requirement. To graduate, a candidate for any bachelor’s degree offered by the Department of Biology must maintain a grade point average of 2.25 in all Department of Biology (Biol or PubH prefix) courses required for the major (Composite Teaching also requires a 2.75 cumulative GPA) and a grade of Cor better in Biol 1210 and 1220. The Pass-Fail option is not acceptable for any course required for the degree, but D grades are permitted within the restrictions of the 2.25 GPA. The Composite Teaching—Biological Science Major requires a cumulative overall GPA of 2.75 for admission and graduation. The 2.25 GPA requirement applies to the Biology, Public Health, and BioMath minors. Biology BS Degree in Biology. Four different emphases are available within the Biology degree. The Biology Emphasis is the most flexible option. Electives may be selected in any subdiscipline the student wishes to emphasize (e.g., botany, ecology, zoology, entomology, microbiology, etc.). The Cellular/Molecular and Ecology/Biodiversity emphases provide more directed training that is appropriate for research or other technical employment in academic institutions, government agencies, and the private sector. They also provide excellent preparation for graduate work. The Environmental Emphasis prepares students in the biological and physical sciences as they relate to environmental problems and concerns.

A thesis supervisory committee must be organized, consisting of an approved biology faculty member and at least one other faculty member. The supervisory committee is subject to the approval of the Director of Undergraduate Studies. Three credits of Biol 5800 or 5810 may be applied toward elective requirements in some degree programs. Contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies, BNR 101, for assistance.

Financial Support Scholarships, assistantships, grants-in-aid, and work-study programs are available from the University. Both the College of Science and the Department of Biology offer scholarships. Contact the College of Science office (SER 101) and the Biology Advising Center (BNR 101) for details.

Graduate Programs Admission Requirements See general admission requirements on pages 72-73. To be recommended for matriculated status, an applicant must have earned a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) from an accredited institution, and a Biology faculty member must have agreed to serve as major professor for that applicant. The Department of Biology also considers these guidelines for admission: (1) the transcript should show a minimum GPA of 3.0 (B); and (2) the scores on the verbal, quantitative, and analytical portions of the GRE should be above the 50th percentile. Advanced GREs (especially biology) are also recommended. Applicants for whom English is not the

Biology 151

primary language must have scored at least 575 on the TOEFL. The applicant’s undergraduate program should be similar to that offered by the Department of Biology at Utah State University, which includes the following and their prerequisites: general biology, microbiology, genetics, ecology, physiology, cell biology, developmental biology, and evolution; general and organic chemistry; calculus; statistics; and physics. Other preparatory courses may be specified by the student’s supervisory committee.

Degree Programs For those who have demonstrated strong academic capability as well as research interest, the Department of Biology offers the Master of Science Degree and the Doctor of Philosophy Degree in either Biology or Ecology. Graduate degrees in Toxicology are available through the Interdepartmental Program in Toxicology. Undergraduate majors in Biology at USU with especially strong backgrounds and interest in research may apply for study of the Master of Science degree as transitional students. Acceptance as a transitional student allows undergraduates with advanced standing to integrate up to 9 credits of graduate work into the final semesters of their Bachelor of Science study. Acceptance into this program, as into all graduate programs in Biology, is closely regulated. Formal application through the School of Graduate Studies is required.

Financial Assistance Research assistantships are available from the grants of major professors and from Utah Agricultural Experiment Station funds. Teaching assistantships are awarded annually. All awards are made on a competitive basis and specific teaching needs are considered in awarding teaching assistantships. Given satisfactory performance, MS students are supported for at least two years and PhD candidates for at least four years on teaching assistantships. The department may also recommend particularly qualified students for College of Science or University fellowships. Admission to the graduate program of the Department of Biology does not guarantee financial support; however, applicants will not normally be admitted without financial support.

Career Opportunities Completion of graduate degrees in Biology prepares students for careers in teaching and research in universities and colleges.

Graduate Program Objectives The MBA program is an interdepartmental program administered by the College of Business. The MBA program is designed to provide students with an understanding and analytical tools necessary for effective and efficient management in today’s complex business world. The curriculum prepares students with a working knowledge of the fundamental business functions and a sensitivity to the legal, ethical, social, technological, and international forces in the business environment. The MBA program’s focus is the development of the analytical, communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills needed for a successful career in a variety of organizations. The MBA program is accredited by AACSB International—The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

Admission Requirements For consideration for admission to the MBA program, applicants must submit all undergraduate transcripts, Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) scores (the GRE is also accepted), and three letters of recommendation from qualified professionals, at least one of whom must be an academic. TOEFL scores are required for candidates from abroad, with a minimum of 550 deemed acceptable. International students with a prior degree from an English-speaking university are exempted from the TOEFL exam.

Applications are screened throughout the year by the MBA committee. No applications will be considered until all required information arrives in the School of Graduate Studies at Utah State University. In addition, the student desiring to pursue the MBA degree must have been accepted as a matriculated student before he or she will be permitted to register for 6000-level courses that will be part of the student’s advanced program. Full-time business experience is also preferred. Personal interviews with faculty representatives are encouraged. Students who wish to be considered for financial aid must submit applications by March 15 for the coming academic year. Students with or without an undergraduate degree in business may enter the MBA program. However, before taking advanced core, specialization, or elective courses, basic competencies in business that have not been acquired through prior courses or experience must be developed by completing prerequisite courses as outlined in the business core described below under Degree Requirements. Applicants not meeting minimum requirements may be allowed to correct deficiencies concurrently with graduate coursework. Before entering the program, each student must meet with an advisor to plan his or her course of study.

Degree Requirements Business Core. The MBA Business Core curriculum provides skills and knowledge in statistics, written communication, computer literacy, mathematics, information systems, economics, accounting, finance, marketing, management, and organizational behavior. Students who have completed a bachelor’s degree at an-

Master of Business Administration 161

other university must have coursework equivalent to the core subject matter areas of the AACSB for direct entry into the advanced program. Master of Business Administration Accelerated Business Core. Students who have not completed a bachelor’s degree accredited by the AACSB may choose to gain the necessary basic business competencies by attending the 18-credit Accelerated Business Core (ABC), which is offered during summer semester only. The ABC is a uniquely efficient and effective way of delivering the basic program curriculum. It is a single, team-taught course covering the topics and functions, which form the context and offer perspectives in business. The ABC enables students from nonbusiness backgrounds to prepare quickly and similarly for the Advanced Program Courses. Alternatively, students may acquire the necessary basic competencies by completing courses satisfying the common body of knowledge requirement: Acct 2010; Acct 2020 or 6010; BA 3080 or 3700; BA 3400, 3500; BIS 2450; Econ 1500, 2010; MHR 2990, 3110; Math 1100; and Stat 2300. Students may not be required to take courses which duplicate prior academic or industrial training and are required to meet with the director or assistant director of the MBA program to plan their course of study. The advanced required courses, along with specializations or electives, consist of 30 credits. Students must complete the advanced course requirements listed below. In addition, students may choose to complete the course of study for a General MBA or select among several specializations, which are also described below. Advanced Required Courses (18 credits). Students must complete MHR 6890 to fulfill the integrative component of the MBA.

(Stat 5100 may be used to fulfill the quantitative methods requirement with prior approval from the College of Business Graduate Programs Office.) Course of Study for General MBA (12 credits). Working with the MBA director or assistant director, students select a minimum of three electives (9 credits). One approved 5000-level course may be used. In addition, students must complete an approved College of Business graduate course (3 credits) which meets the Graduate School’s research requirement. Electives taken outside of the College of Business may require the completion of prerequisite courses.

Specializations (12 credits) Students may select a specialization in one of several areas listed below or an approved course of study to receive a general MBA. Classes taken as part of the MBA advanced required courses cannot be used as part of a specialization. One course in each specialization will be designated as research intensive to meet the University’s research requirement. Accounting.

Undergraduate emphases: BS—Professional Chemistry, Biochemistry, Chemical Education, Life Science; Graduate specializations: Chemistry—Analytical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry

Undergraduate Programs Objectives Chemistry is a subject that addresses the properties of materials and the transformations that they undergo. Especially important are aspects of energy and structure related to chemical reactivity. Consequently, students of many disciplines take courses in chemistry to learn about the behavior of the substances they will use or reference. The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers a wide variety of courses for those whose majors and/or anticipated careers require a knowledge of chemistry. These areas of study include nutrition, engineering, biology, agriculture, natural resources, medicine, law, and education, to name a few. Many students also choose chemistry as an elective course to better prepare themselves as citizens in a technological world. The Bachelor of Science Degree entails considerable specialization in chemistry and related areas. The BS emphases require a common core of courses, but allow for a different concentration of advanced work according to the interests and career objectives of the student. The BS with Professional Chemistry Emphasis and BS with Biochemistry Emphasis degrees meet the requirements for certification by the American Chemical Society (ACS). The

certified degree emphases provide excellent preparation for immediate entry into the job market or for graduate school in chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering, molecular biology, nutrition, food science, materials science, and a wide variety of other fields. ACS certification in Chemical Education is available to students who complete an ACS-certified program, together with the Professional Education program in secondary education. The BS with Life Science Emphasis degree is popular for students wishing to go on to medical or dental graduate programs. The life science emphasis is particularly appropriate for premedical and predental students who want a strong base for understanding the nature of chemical reactions in the body and the behavior of the drugs they will prescribe, or who want an attractive alternative should they decide ultimately not to pursue medical or dental school. The Chemistry Teaching Major or the Composite Teaching Major in Physical Science are available to those who want a career in secondary education. The BA degree is an excellent choice for students with an interest in studying law or business and who have an interest in science. The core of the program utilizes year-long sequences of classes. The first-year sequence introduces the basic principles of chemistry, as well as most of the major concepts of the science. The second year explores in greater depth the characteristics of

Chemistry and Biochemistry 171

carbon-based compounds that serve as the backbone for the chemistry of life; for most drugs and medicines; for petroleum; for most fibers, paints, and plastics; and for many other commercial products. The third year examines in greater depth the models, theories, and mathematical interpretation of the structures, rates of change, energetics, and other properties of chemicals. In addition, one-semester courses examining the chemistry of life processes, the behavior of inorganic substances, and the analysis of the composition of substances are required. Many of the sequences have associated laboratory courses where students get hands-on practice. Here they synthesize compounds, measure physical properties, analyze samples, and determine structural features of compounds, using modern techniques and instrumentation. The requirements of the BS and BA degrees in chemistry, along with University and University Studies requirements, are summarized here. The specific requirements for the teaching major and for the composite teaching major in physical science are also included. Students are also urged to study these requirements and to visit with their advisor on a regular basis about progress toward the completion of their degrees or for any questions regarding complementary courses and career goals.

The Civil and Environmental Engineering Department employs several methods to assess the quality of the two BS programs offered by the department. Assessments are made prior to graduation by measuring the performance of students in each class. In addition, the results of the FE exam, senior exit interviews, and faculty reviews of student portfolios are used. Postgraduate assessment of Civil and Environmental Engineering graduates is also conducted up to six years after graduation. Assistance from outside reviewers is also obtained in making the assessment.

Requirements Admission Requirements. Admission requirements for the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering are the same as those described for the University on pages 48-51. Students in good standing may apply for admission to the department. In addition, students must maintain the academic requirements outlined for the College of Engineering on pages 91-92. Bachelor of Science Degrees. The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering offers two Bachelor of Science degrees: one in Civil Engineering and one in Environmental Engineering. The four-year programs leading to these two degrees are listed below. During the first two years, students are in a pre-engineering program. Students must successfully complete the pre-engineering program or, in the case of transfer students, substantially equivalent coursework at another institution before they are accepted into the professional program. Transfer students may apply for permission to take upper-division courses in cases where postponement of these courses will prolong the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to graduate.

178 Civil and Environmental Engineering

Design is a cornerstone of engineering that requires creative thinking, technical knowledge, the ability to organize and solve complex problems, and teamwork. Engineering design activities begin during the first two years and progress in-depth as each student’s proficiency increases. These design activities culminate in a major senior design course, which integrates past engineering coursework into a focused, realistic design project. An important feature of the senior design experience is that students work in teams to complete the project. The student who is majoring in or planning to major in Civil Engineering or Environmental Engineering needs to be aware of the College of Engineering requirements concerning admission to the college, pre-engineering program, admission to professional engineering programs, University Studies, and other academic requirements. Additional information concerning these items is given in the College of Engineering write-up on pages 90-92. It is the responsibility of the student to be aware of these rules and regulations. Passing the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam is required for graduation. The Civil and Environmental Engineering Department strongly recommends that students have a high-end calculator, such as an HP-48 or HP-49 calculator, that has the capabilities to do units, matrices, and programs in BASIC. Although not a requirement at this time, CEE students are strongly encouraged to have a modern desktop or laptop personal computer. Since computer technology is changing rapidly, students should seek advice from a knowledgeable professional on hardware and software requirements before purchasing a computer.

Additional Information For more information about Bachelor of Science requirements and the sequence in which courses should be taken, see major requirement sheet, available from the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department. Departmental honors can be earned by completing 20 credits of upper-division honors engineering courses. Students should work with the department in selecting appropriate courses.

Concurrent BS/Master’s Program The concurrent BS/Master’s program allows engineering students to begin taking graduate-level classes during their senior year. This permits them to complete requirements for both the BS degree and the master’s degree concurrently during two years. Students in this program have a greater selection of graduate courses, since many graduate courses are taught during alternate years. In addition, the student’s senior design project could be a start for a graduate design project or thesis. After completing their BS degree, students in the program can earn a master’s degree in only one additional year. Both the BS and the master’s degree can generally be earned with 150 total credits, although students should note that a Plan C MS requires 3 extra credits. Finally, students with a master’s degree can expect a much higher starting salary following graduation. (For more information, see College of Engineering section of this catalog, page 92.)

Graduate Programs The ME degree emphasizes professional practice and coursework. A minimum of 30 credits of technical and scientific coursework is required. The MS degree emphasizes research and the preparation of a significant publication. A minimum of 30 credits, 6 to 9 of which shall be thesis research, is required for an MS. In special cases, as decided by the student’s supervisory committee, a second MS is available with a Plan B option, which requires 30 credits, including 3 to 6 credits of CEE 6970, Thesis Research. The CE degree, which prepares students for professional engineering careers, requires 60 credits beyond the bachelor’s degree, or 30 credits beyond the master’s degree, including a technical engineering report. The PhD degree represents high scholarly achievement demonstrated by independent research and competence in a area of specialization approved by the student’s supervisory committee.

Admission Requirements See general admission requirements, pages 72-73. Admission committees consider GRE scores and experience, undergraduate record and curriculum, and formal recommendations. A student without an undergraduate civil and environmental engineering background may be required to complete selected undergraduate courses prior to admission as a fully matriculated graduate student.

Graduate Program Divisions The graduate program in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is administered through five academic divisions, as described below. Structural Engineering. The structural engineer is involved in the design, construction, repair, and retrofit of all types of structures: buildings, bridges, dams, and many others. The safety of the structures we occupy and utilize every day is the responsibility of structural engineers. They must be able to evaluate the loads placed on a structure, determine their effects on the structure, and select the appropriate materials and structural elements, or repair strategy, to withstand these loads. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s structural engineer is using new space materials in the design of new structures or the retrofit of older structures. Mathematics, physics, and materials science constitute a foundation for structural engineering. Structural analysis and design are added to this foundation and become the focus of the structural engineering program. Graduate students in the structures program also engage in structural mechanics, numerical methods, structural dynamics, geotechnical engineering, and the study of new structural materials. Current research in the structures area is focusing on the dynamic characteristics of structures, their potential response to earthquakes, and new seismic retrofit measures, using advanced composite materials, for older structures. Materials research is focusing on cementious materials and constitutive modeling. Geotechnical Engineering. Engineering studies of soils are concerned with the physical and engineering properties of soils and how these are related to engineering projects. Traditional geotechnical engineering includes the application of engineering principles to the analysis and/or design of building foundations, earth embankments, retaining walls, drainage systems, earthquake motion, buried structures, and other systems involving soil and rock. Engineers and architects cannot ignore the problems of investigating properties of soils in connection with engineering construction. Undergraduate and graduate courses offered by the department provide the basic knowledge necessary for the design of foundations and various types of earth structures. Fundamental concepts and their application are emphasized so that the student will be properly trained for his or her initial job, as well as being prepared to understand future development in this field. The Geotechnical Engineering Division, in cooperation with the Environmental Engineering Division, is offering a new program in Geoenvironmental Engineering. This new program uses the strengths of both divisions to provide a program involving the geotechnical aspects of hazardous waste management, the investigation of hazardous waste sites, and the design of hazardous waste containment systems. The geotechnical division has a strong research program. Current research projects in this division include studies on liquefaction, seismic slope stability, pile foundations, landslides, mechanically stabilized embankments, risk analysis of dams, finite element analysis of soil-structure systems, and the long-term properties of clay soils used in hazardous waste containment systems. Water Engineering. The water engineering program is a multidisciplinary graduate program in the College of Engineering and is intended to enable engineers and scientists interested in water to obtain graduate degrees in the areas of fluid mechanics and hydraulics, hydrology, groundwater, and water resources engi-

neering. Core courses and departmental offerings cover these fundamental areas, as well as essential numerical and statistical methods. The water engineering faculty are committed to a strong academic program. The curriculum offered is one of the most comprehensive offered in the U.S. Elements of ongoing research projects are routinely and effectively incorporated into the classes. The program combines training, research, and experience to understand the water issues and water resources management challenges in the United States and internationally. Graduate students can supplement departmental offerings by selecting courses in Mathematics and Statistics; Computer Science; Aquatic, Watershed, and Earth Resources; Environment and Society; Forest, Range, and Wildlife Sciences; Economics; Political Science; Geology; Biological and Irrigation Engineering; Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering; Plants, Soils, and Biometeorology; Biology; Chemistry and Biochemistry; and Physics. This ensures that graduates are well-grounded in the fundamentals, but have a breadth of training and are prepared to contribute professionally to the solution of multidisciplinary local, national, and international water problems. Graduate students in the water program have the opportunity for research support through the Utah Water Research Laboratory (UWRL) while working on theses or dissertations. Excellent laboratory and computing facilities are available. Strong, continuous state and federal research funding keeps the research topics and facilities current. Specialty areas within the program comprise fluid mechanics and hydraulics, hydrology, groundwater, and water resources engineering. Fluid mechanics and hydraulic engineering covers both fundamental principles and theory and their applications in a variety of engineering fields. Elementary fluid mechanics, based on fundamental principles of conservation of mass, energy, and momentum, is the logical core for all water-related engineering programs. Consequently, other specialties in water engineering study fluid mechanics. Students specializing in fluid mechanics and hydraulics emphasize theoretical fluid mechanics, hydraulic design, numerical methods, and laboratory hydraulic techniques. A good variety and balance of courses supporting research in theoretical fluid mechanics, open channel hydraulics, hydraulic design, transients, sedimentation, municipal water system design, and cavitation are available at the graduate level. Graduates in fluid mechanics and hydraulics find employment in a broad range of professional engineering fields, including consulting, university teaching and research, and state and federal government agencies. Hydrology is a branch of geoscience concerned with the origin, distribution, movement, and properties of waters of the earth. The hydrologic cycle encompasses the atmosphere, the land surface, lakes and oceans, and the subsurface. Complex, interacting processes at varied time and space scales describe the hydrologic cycle. The concepts and practice of hydrology derive from an integration of field observations, laboratory investigations, and conceptual, mathematical, chemical, statistical, and probabilistic models. The hydrology program at USU has strength in both theoretical and applied aspects of modern hydrology. Past and present research focuses on a broad spectrum of hydrologic problems. These range from climate modeling, rainfall processes, floods, droughts, terminal lake analyses, soil erosion, and stream water quality models to groundwater contamination characterization and remediation and watershed analyses. A particular emphasis of the program is on an understanding of the global water and energy cycles at nested scales from the hemisphere to the continent to the watershed from a holistic perspective that recognizes the two-way linkages between water reservoirs and fluxes through oceans, atmosphere, land surface and subsurface, and biota.

Groundwater engineering is concerned with the transport of fluids in the subsurface environment. It encompasses the theory of flow in porous media; groundwater hydrology and hydraulics; fate and transport of contaminants in subsurface; and analytical, numerical, and stochastic modeling of such processes. Emphasis is placed on the quantitative analysis of physical and chemical principles governing these processes and on the application of these principles to practical field problems, with all their difficulties related to the complex structure of subsurface formations. Examples of such problems include groundwater supply and management, subsurface cleanup technologies, and analysis and remediation of groundwater contamination. These problems are of a multidisciplinary nature, and their solutions require a multidisciplinary approach, involving, among others, soil and water chemistry, chemical engineering, and economics. The groundwater professional is an important team player in solving such problems. The groundwater emphasis has a strong research component. Current research activities cover a well-balanced variety of topics, from theoretical (e.g., stochastic analysis of transport of contaminants in groundwater) to practical problems (e.g., design of cleanup technologies for gasoline-contaminated sites).

Water Resources Engineering prepares engineers to be lead members in water resources planning teams, often charged with coordinating the information and concepts supplied from other disciplines. This need for breadth requires considerable flexibility in the training and arrangement of degree programs. Water resources engineers draw principles from hydrology, fluid mechanics, hydraulics, environmental engineering, economics, ecology, political science, and other disciplines in the design and operation of projects and nonstructural methods for water resources planning and management. They need a sound understanding of how water storage, delivery, and other management systems function; of criteria used in evaluating and selecting among alternatives; of the techniques of operations research that can be used in systems design; and of the institutional aspects of decision-making in the public sector. A focus area of the program is to develop decision support systems for sustainable water quantity and quality management in the United States and in developing regions of the world. Evolving information sources and tools, such as spatial data sets encoded in geographical information systems, climate forecasts, and cognitive models of the human decision process and societal group dynamics, are being integrated in representative institutional contexts. An internationally-recognized specialized program has been developed in dam safety risk assessment. Students take classes in dam engineering; hydrology and hydraulics; geotechnical engineering; geology; decision analysis; risk assessment; probability and statistics; and natural resources economics, planning, and management. Students work on practical applications, as well as research projects, for improving the state-of-the art.

The Division of Environmental Engineering is a multidisciplinary graduate program in the College of Engineering and provides coursework and research experience to enable engineers and scientists interested in the environment to obtain graduate degrees relating to potable water and waste treatment, toxic and hazardous wastes management, air quality management, natural systems engineering, and environmental impact assessment. The program provides an interdisciplinary educational approach to fundamental principles that can be

applied to environmental phenomena. Research and training projects are a part of the program and provide the student with appropriate research experience leading to a thesis or dissertation. Hazardous Waste Management. This specialization has been developed within the broader scope of the environmental engineering program to provide an integrated approach for students with a BS in engineering or natural sciences to deal with the complex issues of toxic and hazardous waste. Aspects of toxic/hazardous waste management, including characterization, treatment, disposal, control, monitoring, and environmental impacts, are dealt with in this program. Natural Systems Engineering is the study of the interaction of engineered systems with nature, emphasizing impacts to aquatic ecosystems. Techniques include assessment of aquatic habitat through computer simulation and model verification, quantification of aquatic habitat using remote sensing systems, and data analysis and display through integrated statistical and GIS approaches. These tools are used to evaluate impacts on threatened and endangered species, habitat enhancement, instream flow assessments, fish habitat, stream sediment, and hydraulic features. A bioprocess engineering program has been developed as a cooperative effort between the Division of Environmental Engineering and the Biological and Irrigation Engineering Department. This program provides students with specialized coursework and research experience in areas of bioreactor processing of environmental materials and engineering scale-up of biologically-based environmental reactions. Areas of specialization include waste to energy, fermentation, composting, and industrial waste (agricultural and chemical) reuse, recycling, and technologies based on biological processes, as well as engineering optimization of aquatic habitats. Transportation Engineering. The graduate program in Transportation offers education and research opportunities in intermodal transportation systems planning, design, and management. It is designed to enable aspiring planners, engineers, and managers to obtain advanced degrees while specializing in infrastructure management, traffic network analysis, facility design, traffic operations, transportation economics and finance, and project appraisal. Up-to-date computer and laboratory facilities, as well as the Transportation Divisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close links with local and state transportation agencies, enable students to gain hands-on experience and practical perspectives. Past and present research undertaken by the Transportation Division faculty and researchers range from microscopic traffic flow simulation, dynamic route assignment, network reliability, and traffic accident modeling to rail system productivity, public transit service scheduling, and intermodal passenger terminal planning. The focus remains on efficient and effective intermodal solutions to transportation problems. Transportation Division course offerings expose students to the theoretical and practical aspects of goods and passenger transportation. State-of-the-art analytical tools and new research findings are introduced into the courses through periodic revision of notes, examples, problem sets, and computer software. Students are encouraged to design their own programs of study according to their personal and professional goals. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of transportation, students are encouraged to include in their program of study course offerings from other programs in CEE, as well as from Mathematics and Statistics, Environment and Society, Economics, Business Administration, and Sociology.

The emphasis in Education of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing includes an area of focus in Elementary Education. Graduate specializations: MS, MA, MEd—Clinical and Educational Audiology, Early Childhood Communicative Disorders, Speech-Language Pathology; MEd—Education of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing; EdS—Educational Audiology

Undergraduate Programs Objectives Three main objectives of the Department of Communicative Disorders and Deaf Education are (1) to train competent speech-language pathologists, educators of the deaf and hard of hearing, and clinical-educational audiologists capable of receiving state and national licensure; (2) to provide clinical services to individuals with speech-language deficits or hearing loss in the University population or in the community; and (3) to provide research opportunities for students relating to communicative problems of individuals. The programs in both Speech-Language Pathology and Clinical-Educational Audiology are fully accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation of the American

Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). The program in Education of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing is accredited by the Council on Education of the Deaf. All department programs hold Utah State Office of Education approval and NCATE accreditation.

Requirements Departmental Admissions Requirements. Any accepted student at Utah State University may major in Communicative Disorders and Deaf Education (COMD-DE) during the freshman and/or sophomore years. However, during the first semester of the junior year, the student must formally apply for admission into the COMD-DE undergraduate professional preparation program. Application forms for admission into COMD-DE will be dissemi-

Communicative Disorders and Deaf Education 189

nated in class during the first semester of the junior year. As part of the application process, each student will complete the College of Education Writing Examination. The student will be accepted if cumulative grade point average is 3.0 or higher, University Studies credits are within 15 credits of completion, College of Education Writing Exam has been taken and passed, and all COM-DE courses taken to this point have grades higher than C+. Students who are accepted into the undergraduate program must maintain the acceptance standards each semester in order to continue in the major. Transfer Students or students applying for admission into the program subsequent to the fall semester of their junior year must receive approval from the department head before beginning their matriculation in major classes. Admission into the College of Education teacher education program is necessary before the student may take licensure courses taught in the departments of Elementary Education, Special Education and Rehabilitation, and Secondary Education, which are supportive of the major. Admission into the teacher education program is also required prior to taking the Communicative Disorders clinical practicum coursework. Application to the teacher education program typically takes place at the beginning of the graduate program. Communicative Disorders and Deaf Education Bachelor’s degree in Communicative Disorders and Deaf Education. There are two tracks available within the department: (1) communicative disorders, which includes emphases in audiology and speech-language pathology, and (2) education of the deaf and hard of hearing. Though the BS or BA is available in both tracks, the student should be aware that there is no professional employment licensure in either communicative disorders or education of the deaf and hard of hearing at the bachelor’s level. Majors in the communicative disorders track need to complete a core curriculum consisting of ComD 2400, 2910, 3100, 3120, 3400, 3500, 3650, 3700, 3910, 4100, 4400, 5070, 5100, 5140, 5200, and 5330. Majors in the education of the deaf and hard of hearing track need to complete a core curriculum consisting of an elementary, secondary, early childhood, or special education major, including professional breadth requirements, and deaf education requirements consisting of ComD 2500, 2910, 3910, 4910, 5630, 5640, 5650, 5660, 5670, 5680, 5730, and 6690. The undergraduate major for communicative disorders and deaf education consists of 44 semester credits of courses specified by the department, plus 4-8 semester credits of extra departmental coursework. Current national board and state educational agency licensure requirements demand more coursework than the minimum numbers required for University graduation. Students desiring supportive courses for majors in special education, elementary or secondary education, family life, psychology, or other related departments are advised to seek counsel from the departmental advisor in determining an effective minor core.

Education of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Students wishing to obtain licensure to teach the deaf and hard of hearing will need to complete the majority of the requirements for a teaching license in early childhood education, elementary education, secondary education, or special education. In conjunction with meeting the majority of requirements for licensure, the student must complete coursework leading to a bachelor’s degree in Communicative Disorders and Deaf Education, with an emphasis in Education of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. The department has an undergraduate advisor for this program.

Course Requirements Each student in the Communicative Disorders and Deaf Education Major must complete a component of professional training, which includes departmental and extra-departmental coursework.

Additional Information For more information concerning graduation requirements and course sequencing, see the major requirement sheet, available from the Department of Communicative Disorders and Deaf Education, or visit the departmental website: http://www.coe.usu.edu/comd. Because many of the undergraduate COMD-DE courses are taught in sequence, students should meet with a departmental advisor prior to beginning classes in the COMD-DE major to assure that the most efficient and effective schedule is followed. Students should also confer with a departmental advisor for information about changes in requirements or scheduling.

Graduate Programs Admission Requirements A bachelor’s degree in Communicative Disorders or equivalent requirements must be completed before the student enters the graduate program. The time required to complete the master of science degree is determined during the first semester of study by a temporary department committee consisting of professors from the student’s direct field of study. Students seeking the MEd with a specialization in education of the deaf and hard of hearing must have either an undergraduate degree in early childhood, elementary, secondary, or special education, or an undergraduate degree from USU’s program in education of the deaf and hard of hearing. Students coming into the master’s degree with a degree other than deaf education will need to plan on a two-year MEd program, while those coming directly through the USU curriculum will need to plan on a one-year master’s degree program. Applications will be considered once a year between March 1 and March 15. However, students must have completed the application process to the School of Graduate Studies by February 15. No application will be considered until all the required information is submitted to the School of Graduate Studies.

Master’s Degrees Generally, all students will complete the requirements as specified below. In some instances students will have had some of the coursework required in the graduate curriculum as part of the undergraduate training at another institution. In those cases, the program will be individualized to meet national licensure through the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and state educational licensure from the State of Utah. In no instance will students amass fewer than 36 graduate credits.

196 Computer Science

The course of study offered by the Department of Computer Science is directed primarily toward developing the problem solving skills of its students. This, in conjunction with the understanding of computers and computer systems provided by coursework, will enable a graduate of the program to apply his or her knowledge to finding solutions to problems that arise in the sciences, business, industry, government, and education sectors. Students who have the ability to think analytically and creatively will find a challenging and exciting future in computer science. Opportunities for practical applications of computer science skills are available with members of the computer science faculty who are engaged in research and consultation work both on and off campus.

The curricula of the individual departments differ substantially in emphasis.

The Computer Science major with an Information Systems emphasis is designed for students interested in a career as a Computer Scientist with a background in Information Sciences and Systems. Majors in this emphasis are trained in all phases of the analysis, design, and implementation of information systems. As part of this emphasis, students also receive training in the theory and application of information. Students select an application area such as business, accounting, or economics. Other application areas can be developed by working closely with an advisor. This program of study, offered within the College of Science, leads to a Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Arts, or Master of Science degree in Computer Science.

Computer Science Computer Science deals with information structures and processes as they are represented and implemented in modern high-speed digital computers, and with information processing systems designed to implement useful applications of computing. The program in computer science attempts to provide a solid foundation of knowledge about computers and to teach a mode of thinking which will permit continuing growth on the part of graduates. Prospective students should have an aptitude for mathematics and logic and an interest in analysis and deduction. Computer science is one of the fastest growing fields of study in our society. Excellent employment opportunities are available to computer science graduates. All of the major corporations hire computer science graduates. Graduates in Computer Science work for such Utah-based corporations as Novell, Evans and Sutherland, TRW, and Thiokol, as well as Microsoft, IBM, HewlettPackard, etc. The Computer Science bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree is a four-year degree with areas of emphasis in Science, Digital Systems, and Information Systems. In addition, by working with a departmental advisor, students may develop a plan of study tailored to their own unique career objectives. Computer Science Science Emphasis The Science Emphasis is designed for those who plan to pursue scientific or technical careers, research, or graduate education in computer science. Students choosing the science emphasis will take courses in programming languages, advanced algorithms, and math courses in calculus, linear analysis, and multi-variable calculus. Additional courses include a variety of upper-division computer science courses, chosen in consultation with an advisor. Digital Systems Emphasis The Digital Systems Emphasis is available for those interested in both the hardware and software aspects of computer systems. In addition to computer science and mathematics courses, students in this emphasis will take electrical engineering courses in electronics, circuits, digital fundamentals, microcomputer systems, and digital system design. The curriculum for students in this emphasis is similar to that for students in the computer engineering major in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. Information Systems Emphasis The Information Systems program at Utah State University offers a common core of courses through two department majors: (1) Business Information Systems and (2) Computer Science.

The Business Information Systems major, Management Information Systems emphasis, is offered in the Business Information Systems Department, College of Business (see page 163). The Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts program is designed for students interested in business careers as information specialists, systems analysts, network managers, application programmers, and information systems managers in business and industry. BIS majors take required courses in analysis and design, Internet management, telecommunications, decision support systems, spreadsheet and database applications, and information systems projects. All graduates are required to complete a common core of business subjects. The College of Business is accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business. The department also offers a Master of Science in Business Information Systems with a specialization in Management Information Systems. See page 165 for additional details.

Department and General College of Science Requirements In addition to the University Studies requirements, all majors in computer science must complete a total of 30 semester credits in writing, languages, humanities, arts, and/or social sciences. Courses taken to meet the University Studies requirements, if applicable, may also be counted to meet this departmental requirement. Students must work closely with their advisor to meet both these requirements.

Bachelor of Science Core Requirements. Students working toward the Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science must complete the following: 1. One year of calculus, including Math 1210 and 1220. 2. One of the following four year-long science sequences: (1) Biol 1210, 1220; (2) Chem 1210, 1220, 1230, 1240; (3) Phyx 2110, 2120; or (4) Geol 1150, 3200. The sequence chosen must be outside the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department. 3. USU 1360 (Integrated Physical Science). This course may also be applied toward the University Studies Breadth Physical Sciences (BPS) requirement. The science credits must total at least 13 credits. For students taking Phyx 2110, 2120, and USU 1360, the total will be 11 credits. In this case, students must take one more advisor approved science class.

Those who do take the GRE computer science subject exam will have preference in consideration for the award of financial aid. Decisions on financial aid are made on or near March 15 for the following fall semester.

Course Requirements In addition to the specific departmental admission and degree requirements described in this section, students are advised that they must also meet all Graduate School requirements as described in the Graduate School section of this catalog. Please note that departmental requirements change from time to time, so students should work closely with their advisor in designing their graduate program. Graduate-level courses outside the department may be acceptable for the graduate degree. In all cases, approval of the candidateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graduate committee should be obtained before registering for such courses. Graduate students who have not taken or passed at the 50th percentile the computer science GRE subject exam are required to meet departmental placement requirements before completion of their first year. Students who have not met this requirement after the first year, as a minimum, will not be eligible for department-funded financial aid and cannot submit their program of study. In some circumstances, students will be terminated in the program. The department placement requirement is met in one or a combination of the following three ways: 1. Pass three of five placement exams: Computer Architecture and Organization, Algorithms, Operating Systems, Programming Languages/Compilers, and Software Engineering. 2. Complete with a grade of at least B- three of the following departmental placement courses: CS 2550 and 2560 or ECE 5750 (architecture and organization); CS 2200 or 5050 (algorithms); CS 3100 or 5200 (operating systems); CS 4700, 5300, or 6300 (programming languages/compilers); and CS 2370 or 5370 or 6370 (software engineering). 3. Show on an official transcript from an accredited college or university the completion of three courses deemed by the department to be equivalent to its placement courses. These must be semester-based courses of at least 3 credits, and the corresponding grade must be at least a B-. Master of Science (MS). Whether Plan A or Plan B (see School of Graduate Studies general requirements), all MS/CS students must meet the following general requirements:

198 Computer Science

1. Complete four Computer Science courses numbered between 6000 and 6950. CS 6250 and 6900 are not accepted for these four courses. CS 6950 can count as only one of these four courses, and in that case must be taken for at least 3 credits in a single semester. 2. Complete 1 credit of CS 6900. No more than 3 total credits in both CS 5950 and 6950 and 1 credit of CS 6900 may be used to satisfy the MS degree requirements. CS 6250 cannot be used to meet MS coursework requirements. A maximum of 15 credits of committee-approved coursework below the 6000-level may be used for the MS degree. Students completing a Plan A MS degree must fulfill the following requirements: 1. Complete at least 24 credits of graduate coursework. The total GPA must be at least 3.0, and no more than two class grades below B- and none below C may be included. 2. Successfully meet the departmental placement requirement. 3. Successfully complete and submit a graduate thesis proposal. 4. Successfully complete and defend a graduate thesis, based on original work (CS 6970, 6 credits). Students completing a Plan B MS degree must fulfill the following requirements: 1. Complete at least 32 credits of graduate coursework. The total GPA must be at least 3.0, and no more than two class grades below B- and none below C may be included. 2. Successfully meet the departmental placement requirement. 3. Successfully complete and submit a graduate report proposal. 4. Successfully complete and defend a graduate report (CS 6970, 2 credits). Master of Computer Science (MCS). The Master of Computer Science (MCS) is a terminal degree with coursework requirements similar to the PhD, but lacking the PhD’s requirement for original research. Students completing an MCS degree must fulfill the following requirements: 1. Complete at least 60 credits of graduate coursework beyond the BS/CS or 30 credits of graduate coursework beyond the MS/CS with a minimum class grade of B- and a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.2. 2. No more than 15 credits of coursework numbered below 6000 may be used for the MCS. 3. Complete at least 12 credits of 7000-level computer science coursework. 4. Successfully meet the departmental placement requirement. 5. Successfully complete and submit a research report proposal. 6. Successfully complete and defend a research report, based on original work (CS 7970, 6 credits). Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). The Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science is, above all else, a degree of quality. Simply completing a number of graduate courses or years of study is not sufficient to receive the degree.

This research should be carried out over a significant period of time (i.e., at least one year or three semesters). Thus, each successful PhD candidate will produce a significant piece of original research, presented in a written dissertation and defended in an oral examination. This work should be of such quality that one or more journal or conference articles can be derived from it. Students completing a PhD/CS must fulfill the following requirements: 1. Complete at least 90 credits of graduate coursework (including at least 27 credits of dissertation/research) beyond a BS/CS or at least 60 credits beyond an MS/CS with a minimum class grade of B and a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5. 2. If an MS/CS is completed first, then no more than 15 credits of the 60 credits required for the PhD may be taken in coursework numbered below the 6000 level. If an MS/CS is not completed first, then no more than 21 credits of the 90 credits required for the PhD may be taken in coursework numbered below the 6000 level. 3. Complete at least 12 credits of 7000-level computer science coursework. 4. Complete 2 credits of PhD Seminar (CS 7900). 5. Complete 9 credits of department-approved business administration or business management courses. 6. Pass a set of comprehensive written examinations and an oral examination showing depth and breadth of knowledge in computer science and the student’s area(s) of emphasis. 7. Successfully complete and defend a research proposal. 8. Successfully complete and defend a dissertation (CS 7970, for at least 27 credits).

Ecology Director: Professor Martyn M. Caldwell Office in Natural Resources 314, (435) 797-2555 WWW http://www.usu.edu/ecology/eco-cntr.htm

Assistant Director for Administrative Affairs: Marvin C. Bennett Office in Natural Resources 314B, (435) 797-2090

Degrees offered: Master of Science (MS) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in the following departments: Aquatic, Watershed, and Earth Resources; Biology; Forest, Range, and Wildlife Sciences; and Plants, Soils, and Biometeorology

Graduate Program The ecology program at Utah State University is administered by the interdepartmental Ecology Center. Its goals are to promote research and graduate education in the science of ecology and to provide expert, professional information and advice for decision makers considering actions that affect the environment. The research carried out by the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s associates covers the full spectrum of ecology on several continents, but most of it is centered in the montane and desert regions of the western United States. Students earn their degrees in ecology while maintaining residence in one of the participating departments; the center itself does not grant degrees. The candidate selects and is assigned a major professor from the department appropriate to his or her interests.

Ecology MS and PhD Degrees General Science Requirements (For further details, see the USU Ecology Center web site: http://www.usu.edu/ecology/eco-cntr.htm.) Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, and Computer Science By its very nature, ecology must draw upon knowledge from most branches of science. As a result, at least a reasonable facility with fundamental mathematics and physical sciences must be attained by students, since these concepts have expression throughout the sciences. In order to assure a minimal comprehension in these areas, students receiving graduate degrees in ecology are required to have had the following at some point in their university careers: 1. Equivalent of mathematics through one semester of calculus.

Degree Requirements Requirements for graduate degrees in ecology include the University and departmental degree requirements, as well as the Ecology Center requirements outlined below, which are formulated by the Ecology Center Faculty Advisory Committee. This committee is comprised of faculty representatives, designated by the respective department heads, from the departments of Aquatic, Watershed, and Earth Resources; Biology; Forest, Range, and Wildlife Sciences; Geology; and Plants, Soils, and Biometeorology. The Ecology Center director chairs the committee. The ecology MS and PhD are research degrees requiring a research thesis or dissertation. The following course requirements for each of these degrees fall into two categories. The first is a general science category. Students receiving graduate degrees in ecology are expected to have some breadth and sophistication in modern science. The second category includes ecology course requirements. These are for the most part general requirements, with the specific courses taken by each student selected by his or her graduate committee and tailored to his or her needs and professional goals.

2. Equivalent of at least a one-semester overview course in physics. 3. Chemistry through organic. 4. One year of introductory statistics and one graduate-level statistics course. These courses are the minimum requirements for the MS and PhD degrees. The committee strongly recommends developing greater facility by taking at least a full year of calculus; one or more courses from the set of three including linear algebra, differential equations, and multi-variable calculus; and a full year of professional-level physics. Biology The following are required of all ecology graduate students, and must be taken at some point during their university career: 1. Genetics or evolution, one course. 2. One course in animal physiology for students emphasizing animal ecology. 3. One course each in plant physiology and soils for students emphasizing plant ecology.

Undergraduate Programs Objectives Undergraduate economics provides students with the basic intellectual framework to understand and analyze economic problems and to make informed decisions. A basic understanding of economics is essential to becoming a well-informed citizen, as well as a successful business or public leader.

Admission Requirements Freshmen who meet the admission requirements and are accepted in good standing by the University are eligible for admission to the College of Agriculture, the College of Business, and the Department of Economics. All transfer students, whether transferring from within Utah State University or from other colleges and universities, must have an overall minimum GPA of 2.2 to be accepted as majors in the department. New students wishing to major in the Department of Economics may do so by listing one of the departmental majors on their application when they apply for admission to USU. Students enrolled at USU may change to a departmental major by applying directly to the College of Agriculture, the College of Business, or the Department of Economics.

Graduation Requirements To receive a bachelor’s degree in Agribusiness, Agricultural Economics, Economics, or International Agribusiness, students must complete all University requirements and the college and departmental requirements for their specific major as noted below. Agribusiness Major The Agribusiness major provides a foundation for employment in the agricultural sectors and rural regions and in businesses serving agriculture and rural regions, such as banks and financial institutions, production, marketing and buying cooperatives, valueadded food producers, real estate and land management, agricultural chemical production and sales, and farms and ranches. Graduates of this program are employed in a variety of agribusiness operations throughout the United States. Agribusiness graduates have achieved prominence in positions in wholesale and retail sales and service, stock and commodity brokerage, real estate appraisal, banking and farm credit, insurance, and in farm and ranch operations. Classwork provides training in basic business and economics, as well as the specific management tools required for agricultural enterprises. *The Department of Economics is jointly administered by the College of Agriculture and the College of Business. Programs in both the College of Agriculture and the College of Business are offered.

Economics 205

To graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Agribusiness, a student must have an overall GPA of 2.5 or higher, as well as a minimum GPA of 2.5 in Economics courses. An overall GPA of 2.5 or higher is required for admission into some required BA and MHR courses. All required courses must be taken for a letter grade. Econ 2250, 3900, and 4250 cannot be used to meet economics elective requirements.

Agricultural Economics Major The Agricultural Economics major emphasizes the development of quantitative skills in and a deeper understanding of economic theory. While this program provides a solid base for individuals desirous of careers in agricultural businesses, it is also an excellent preparation for graduate studies in economics, agricultural economics, natural resources, business, or law. The Agricultural Economics degree provides an excellent background for work in federal, state, and local government, as well as in the private sector. Graduates of this program are now working in positions involving the analysis of prices and markets, preparation of economic feasibility studies, and preparing economic forecasts.

students have taken advantage of this flexibility to design a dual major with Economics and Political Science. The Economics major with a dual major in the College of Business has been very popular with Finance and Accounting majors because of the added theoretical and analytical dimension that advanced studies in economics can contribute to Finance and Accounting majors. The dual major is excellent preparation for students interested in advanced studies in Accounting or Finance. In addition, because the dual major provides a strong grounding in economic theory, it helps open career opportunities that involve policy analysis. Many finance and accounting faculty members hold graduate degrees in economics. The Economics major with a dual major outside the College of Business provides students in the humanities, and social and natural sciences with an opportunity to learn policy analysis tools. Whether the students are directly interested in policy or simply interested in the impact of policy within their chosen primary major, economics introduces a robust and empirically verified paradigm for explaining the behavior of social systems and their interaction with cultural, biological, and physical resources. To graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Economics, a student must have an overall GPA of 2.2 or higher, as well as a minimum GPA of 2.2 in Economics courses. Economics Major—Economic Theory Emphasis: Econ 1000, 1500, 2010, 3400, 4310 (or 5310), 5000, 5010, 5100, 5330, 5950; Acct 2010, 2020; BIS 2450, 2550; MHR 2990; Math 1050, 1100; Stat 2300; Psy 1010 or Soc 1010; and 12 credits of upper-division Econ electives.

specialization courses in the second year. The MS in Applied Economics is a terminal degree that prepares students for positions in industry; private consulting firms; local, regional, and national policy-making agencies; private not-for-profit organizations; and community/regional economic planning and development agencies. The Doctor of Philosophy in Economics is intended to prepare students for faculty and research positions with a dual specialization in Trade and Development and Natural Resource and Environmental Economics. All PhD students are required to complete these “field” sequences. Students interested in other specialties are discouraged from applying.

Admission Requirements Applicants must have earned a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university, maintained a grade point average of at least 3.0 for the last 60 semester credits earned, and score in at least the 40th percentile on either the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) or Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). In addition, international applicants from non-English-speaking countries must score at least 550 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Satisfaction of these minimum admission requirements does not guarantee admission. Applications for graduate study from students trained in disciplines other than economics are welcomed. However, all applicants are expected to have: (1) an understanding of intermediate microeconomic and macroeconomic theory, (2) preparation in mathematical economics, and (3) preparation in probability and statistics. In addition, applicants are expected to have strong written and oral communications skills.

Financial Support The Department of Economics, the College of Agriculture, and the College of Business award scholarships in addition to those available through the University Financial Aid Office. Information and application forms may be obtained from the college or departmental offices.

Graduate Programs The MA, MS, and PhD in Economics, along with the MS in Applied Economics, are offered jointly through the College of Agriculture and College of Business. The MBA, with specializations in Agribusiness Management, International Economics, and Quantitative Economic Analysis, is offered through the College of Business. The MSS, with specialization in Economics, is an interdepartmental program offered in conjunction with the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.

Objectives Economics graduate training emphasizes economic theory, critical thinking, and quantitative analysis. This foundation is a means to an end, not an end in itself: theory and quantitative methods are tools used in applied courses, in theses and dissertations, and in other research and extension activities carried out in the department. The Master of Science and Master of Arts in Economics are intended to prepare students for doctoral studies in economics. Consequently, students are required to take the same first-year core theory and econometrics courses as the PhD students, with

Undergraduate Programs Department Mission Statement The mission of the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department is to develop students into outstanding electrical and computer engineers. The department is dedicated to superb teaching, research, and service.

Program Descriptions The ECE Department offers a balanced curriculum of classwork, laboratory work, and design experiences to prepare students for careers as practicing engineers. The Bachelor of Science programs in Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (EAC/ABET). The research program of the department, which includes undergraduates as well as graduate students, is internationally acclaimed in the fields of aerospace instrumentation and measurements, image compression, communications, electromagnetics, controls, and robotics.

Electrical Engineering The Electrical Engineering program is dedicated to producing engineers who: (1) contribute to engineering practice, advance engineering knowledge, and contribute to the good of society; (2) are advancing their education in engineering and other professions; and (3) take a leadership role in engineering and society. Each student is given a solid foundation in electricity, electronics, signals, and systems, with individual practical experience. Upon this basic foundation the students then build expertise in advanced areas, stressing actual design practice, to prepare them for productive engineering careers. The specialty areas can be categorized into the following: analog and digital electronics, controls, signal processing, communications, and microwave engineering.

Computer Engineering The Computer Engineering program is dedicated to producing engineers who: (1) apply fundamental principles to solve practical engineering problems; (2) are continually engaged in professional, personal, and community development; (3) are implementing well-planned, top-down designs of complex systems; and (4) function well as team members and interact well with other professionals and nonengineers.

214 Electrical and Computer Engineering

Building on a solid curriculum in computing hardware and software, the program begins with a strong foundation in electricity, digital logic design, and computer science, then leads into advanced software engineering and microcomputer systems. Advanced courses provide experience in formal design methods, high-performance architectures, data communications, concurrent programming, and real-time and embedded systems. Students are also required to complete advanced course sequences in computer science. Students in the BS programs in both electrical engineering and computer engineering are permitted and encouraged to take courses in the other program. Many courses, such as controls, digital signal processing, and robotics, draw heavily on skills in both areas. Electrical and Computer Engineering

prerequisites, requiring some students to take longer than four semesters to complete the preprofessional program. Students transferring into the department should consult with the college academic advisor for transfer credit evaluation and proper placement in the curriculum. AP and CLEP credit may be used to meet some of the required technical and University Studies courses. Details concerning courses acceptable as electives are available from the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department.

Assessment

Professional Program

In addition to the regular national accreditation, the ECE Department employs a number of means to assess the quality of departmental programs. The primary indicator is the success of ECE graduates in obtaining professional employment. At several intervals following graduation, the department keeps track of student placement. Other major tools include annual quantitative assessment of program objectives, semi-annual reviews of the curriculum and facilities by the ECE Industrial Advisory Board, interviews of undergraduate and graduate students upon completion of their programs, regular monitoring of faculty members by peers, and periodic surveys of ECE graduates working in industry.

BS degree, students in the program can earn a master’s degree in only one additional year. Both the BS and the master’s degree can generally be earned with 150 total credits, although students should note that a Plan C MS requires 3 extra credits. Finally, students with a master’s degree can expect a much higher starting salary following graduation. (For more information, see College of Engineering section of this catalog, page 92.)

Graduate Programs Admission Requirements See general admission requirements on pages 72-73. Applicants with a bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering from an ABET accredited program and having a 3.25 GPA or better can generally be admitted without restriction. Additional coursework in electrical and computer engineering fundamentals may be required in individual cases. Students must take the general GRE exam; however, the subject GRE is not required. All graduate students are expected to have a working knowledge of a computer language (preferably C). Applications will be considered throughout the year. However, students desiring financial aid should submit application materials by December 15 to be considered for the following fall semester. No applications will be considered until all required information arrives in the office of the School of Graduate Studies.

Degree Requirements Specific requirements for the ME, MS, EE, and PhD degrees are outlined below; these are in addition to the general requirements of the School of Graduate Studies. Master of Engineering (ME) and Master of Science (MS). The ME degree is based on coursework and is designed to give graduates a strong practical foundation. The MS degree requires substantial thesis or project work in a specific area and prepares students for advanced study or advanced work in that area. The MS degree has two options. Under Plan A, the student completes a thesis. Under Plan B, the student prepares an engineering project report. If a student chooses an MS degree, changing to the ME degree is only possible by approval of the major professor, ECE graduate committee, and the department head. The MS and ME degrees require successful completion of 30 credits of 5000-level or above coursework in a program approved by the student’s supervisory committee, with the following stipulations:

Master of Science 1. At least 12 credits of ECE coursework must be completed at or above the 6000 level. 2. MS Plan A students must complete 6 credits of Thesis Research (ECE 6970). 3. MS Plan B students must complete 3 credits of Thesis Research (ECE 6970) and 3 credits of Design Project (ECE 6950). 4. MS students must have a one- to two-page, double-spaced thesis or project proposal approved by their committee when a project has been identified.

Master of Engineering 1. At least 18 credits of ECE coursework must be completed at or above the 6000 level. 2. At least two ECE courses with substantial lab components must be completed at or above the 5000 level. All Master’s Students 1. At least 3 credits of ECE coursework must be completed at the 7000 level. 2. One credit of ECE 6800 (Electrical Engineering Colloquium) must be completed as soon as possible. 3. Each master’s student must form a committee and have a program of study approved by the end of his or her first semester. 4. No more than 10 credits of 5000-level coursework may be applied toward a master’s degree. 5. Any exceptions to the master’s requirements must be approved by the student’s committee and the ECE Graduate Committee. A course in technical and professional writing, or equivalent writing experience, is required for MS students prior to beginning the thesis. MS students may, at the discretion of their supervisors, be required to hire an editor to bring the thesis or paper into acceptable form. Electrical Engineer. The Electrical Engineer degree is awarded for the successful completion of an advanced program of 60 credits of academic work beyond the BS, or 30 credits beyond the MS, and a comprehensive engineering report earning an additional 10 credits. The degree requirements are the same as those for the PhD listed below, except that the comprehensive examination need not be taken and the engineering report is given in lieu of the original research dissertation, reducing the total credits required for the PhD. The degree differs from the PhD by preparing the student for professional engineering work, rather than for research. Doctor of Philosophy. The PhD is awarded for the successful completion of an advanced program of academic work and original research. A flexible program is planned individually by each candidate in consultation with his or her faculty supervisory committee. The PhD program is expected to include 60 credits of coursework beyond the BS degree or 30 credits of coursework beyond the MS degree, plus 30 credits of dissertation research. The coursework generally represents two years of study beyond the MS degree, with up to 20 credits being taken outside the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. Once the student has completed at least 45 and not more than 60 graduate credits, he or she must pass a comprehensive examination based on graduate-level courses. Near the end of the program, the results of the original (publishable) research work will be presented and publicly defended as a dissertation.

Degrees offered: Bachelor of Science (BS), Bachelor of Arts (BA), Master of Science (MS), Master of Arts (MA), and Master of Education (MEd) in Elementary Education; BS and BA in Early Childhood Education; the Elementary Education Department participates in the Interdepartmental Doctoral Program in Education, including Doctor of Education (EdD) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) with Curriculum and Instruction Specialization

Graduate specializations: MA, MS, MEd—Early Childhood Education; ESL Education; Gifted and Talented Education; Math and Science Education; Middle Education; Reading, Writing, Educational Leadership, and Social Studies Education

Undergraduate Programs Objectives The purposes of the Department of Elementary Education are: 1. To develop professional educators; 2. To advance knowledge in the field of education. These purposes are realized through teaching, scholarly activities, and service. The department provides leadership in the preparation of teachers, supervisors, curriculum specialists, and other professional personnel for careers in elementary education, early childhood education, and middle education. The Department of Elementary Education at Utah State University offers three programs leading to licensure as a teacher: (1) Elementary Education: Offers licensure to teach in grades one through eight in the public schools; (2) Early Childhood Education: Offers licensure to teach prekindergarten, kindergarten, and grades one through three in the elementary school; and (3) Middle Education: Offers an endorsement to teach in grades five through eight.

Requirements Provisional Admission Process and Requirements. Since more students major in Elementary Education at USU than in any other major, competition for admission into the program is very keen. Due to increased demands for admission coupled with limited resources, a ceiling of 175 students has been placed on admissions each year. Thus, admission to USU does not necessarily guarantee admission into the Elementary Education program. Provisional admission to the Elementary and Early Childhood Teacher Education Program is determined by (1) the student’s GPA in a set of core courses, (2) ACT scores and Writing Diagnostic Test or PPST test results, (3) the number of credits a student has taken, and (4) successful completion of a group assessment evaluation. (Additional factors to be weighted may be gender and/or minority status consistent with applicable law.) Applications are accepted each semester. Because there are typically more applicants than there is space available, the number accepted is limited. Students who are not accepted may reapply. Provisional admission requires formal action by the Office of the Dean of the College of Education, as well as by the student’s department. Admission to the Teacher Education Program is a prerequisite for enrollment in the major, starting with Level II. A student de-

Elementary Education 221

siring admission to the Teacher Education Program should file an application in the Elementary Education Office, located in room 373 of the Emma Eccles Jones Education Building. Elementary Education SODIA Program. The acronym SODIA represents the elementary teacher education program. The name is derived from the initial letter of descriptive words (Self, Others, Discipline, Implementation, and Application) which represent emphasis placed at each level of the program. The elementary education SODIA program is performance-based and field-centered. It utilizes public schools as partners in each phase of the teacher education program. SODIA is an interdisciplinary and interdepartmental program utilizing staff members from the Departments of Psychology; Special Education and Rehabilitation; Family and Human Development; Health, Physical Education and Recreation; Music; Art; Theatre Arts; and Instructional Technology who work in conjunction with the Department of Elementary Education. These University faculty members work with teachers and principals of cooperating public schools and the Edith Bowen Laboratory School on the USU campus in an integrated program. Elementary Education Level I, Self, is represented by the “S” in the acronym SODIA. This is the first-level course (ElEd 1000) introducing the field of education and emphasizing the student’s self-assessment in relation to ability and desire to teach. A minimum of 15 hours are spent observing in an elementary or middle school classroom, completing volunteer service in other community settings, and viewing a variety of selected professional videos. In addition, a human growth and development course is required. The two courses in Level I are prerequisites to applying to the Teacher Education Program. Level II, Others, is represented by the “O” in the acronym SODIA. This stands for the many “others” who make up the education community. In this bloc, each student receives 15 credits and is assigned as a teacher assistant in one of the public schools. The remainder of the time is spent in seminars and classwork offered on the USU campus. The classwork is interdisciplinary and interrelated, including courses in elementary education, psychology, special education, and technology. Entrance to Level II requires prior admission to the Teacher Education Program. Level III, Disciplines, is represented by the “D” in the acronym SODIA. Students in this bloc complete 15 credits of methods coursework and practica at the Edith Bowen Laboratory School or public schools. The “methods” courses in reading, social studies, language arts, mathematics, and science are included in this bloc. A preliminary course in reading is required as a transition from Level II to Level III. Level IV, Implementation, is represented by the “I” in the acronym SODIA. This is the student teaching or internship phase of the program. Student teaching constitutes full days of actual teaching experience for the entire semester. Internships are for the entire academic year. Level V, Application, is represented by the “A” in the acronym SODIA. At this level, graduates of the program make a transition into the profession of teaching. Program Strands also receive major emphasis through SODIA’s levels of progression. These strands are: (1) Assessment, (2) Classroom Management, (3) Curriculum, (4) Effective Teaching, (5) Learner, (6) Parent and Community, (7) Diversity,

and (8) Personal and Professional Development. A student performance portfolio assessment process is also included. Continuing Status Requirements. A minimum GPA of 2.75 is required to remain in good standing and to graduate from the program. All students majoring in elementary education must be registered in the College of Education. An advisor will be assigned from the Department of Elementary Education. Programs of professional education courses, as well as teaching support courses and an area of emphasis, have been developed by the Department of Elementary Education and approved by the Council on Teacher Education and the Utah State Office of Education. For a complete description of the program and requirements for graduation and licensure, students should obtain a copy of the Department of Elementary Education, Student Program Planning Guidebook, available from the Department of Elementary Education. Each student completes a professional semester of student teaching or a year of internship. An application for student teaching/internship must be made at least one semester in advance, and credentials are reevaluated at that time. Not all student teachers/interns can be accommodated by the schools located within Cache Valley. Students should be financially prepared to spend that time off campus in the event such an arrangement is necessary. Students must be responsible for their own transportation. Students who carefully select their elective courses may also qualify for a special endorsement to the basic professional teaching license. All students complete an area of emphasis in a subject matter field, in addition to the teaching support courses. Dual licensure programs exist in deaf education, early childhood education, special education, and middle education. Information concerning special endorsements and additional areas of specialization may be obtained from the Department of Elementary Education. Students who have teaching licenses in areas other than elementary education may obtain the elementary license by meeting the same or equivalent requirements for licensure expected of an elementary education major. Those desiring to acquire a dual license should work with an advisor from the Department of Elementary Education. All courses listed as major subject courses must be taken on an A-B-C-D-F basis and the grade point average for these courses must be 2.75 or better. Major subject courses passed with less than a C grade must be repeated.

Endorsements The USU Elementary Education Department and Secondary Education Department jointly offer a K-12 English as a Second Language (ESL) Endorsement, as well as a Middle-Level Endorsement. Graduate endorsements are also available in Early Childhood Education, ESL, Reading, Gifted and Talented, and Middle-Level Education.

Additional Information For more information concerning requirements for University graduation and for basic professional teaching licensure in elementary education, early childhood education, and middle education, see major requirement sheets available from the Elementary Education Department Advisement Center, Emma Eccles Jones Education Building, Room 373.

Undergraduate Programs English

General Objectives The undergraduate programs in English encourage students to gain an appreciation of language and literature through reading, analysis, and writing as a means of enriching their lives as individuals, citizens and professionals. Through a variety of courses in literature, writing, and linguistics, students develop an awareness of these subjects in their personal and cultural contexts, a heightened sensitivity to human experience, and a capacity to adapt to a world of continually changing values and centers of conflict. Students majoring in English thus acquire communicative, analytical, and interpretive skills that help prepare them for a wide range of careers. After completing a set of core requirements, students in English fulfill the requirements in one of three emphases: (1) the Literary Studies emphasis, which gives students a knowledge of the texts and writers of American, British, and world literature and their cultural contexts; (2) the Professional and Technical Writing emphasis, which prepares students for various writing careers in professional organizations; and (3) the English Teaching emphasis, which prepares students for teaching secondary-level English in the public school system. The English Department offers a Folklore minor and an interdisciplinary American Studies major and minor. It also offers an English Teaching Minor, an English Minor (Standard Nonteaching), and a minor in British and Commonwealth Studies. The English Department also offers specific courses supporting other fields of specialization, courses fulfilling University Studies requirements, and enriching educational experiences through opportunities for creativity and expression enhancing lifetime activities.

Admission and Graduation Requirements The requirements for admission and graduation are commensurate with those described on pages 48-63 of this catalog. To remain in good standing and to obtain approval for graduation as English majors or minors, students must maintain a minimum grade point average of 2.75 in their major and minor courses.

All courses listed as major or minor subject courses must be taken on an A-B-C-D-F basis, and major or minor subject courses passed with less than a C grade must be repeated. Transfer students are required to complete at least 15 semester credits of major subject courses and 10 semester credits of minor subject courses in residence at USU. Students in the English Teaching major and minor may also apply to the Secondary Teacher Education Program (STEP). See pages 418-419 for procedures and requirements pertaining to teacher licensure and admission requirements. See also the current edition of the Guide to the Undergraduate Program in Secondary Education at USU, available at the USU Bookstore.

Course Requirements Core and Survey Requirements. All English majors are required to complete the following courses as soon as possible before enrolling in upper-division courses: Engl 1110 (an orientation course); and three of the 2000-level literature survey courses. Exceptions are noted below under emphasis requirements. Literary Studies Emphasis. This 49-credit emphasis is devoted to the study of literature. Its fundamental premise is that literature is a field of diverse representations that gives shape and meaning to human experience. Students first complete three of the 2000-level survey courses, Engl 2140, 2150, 2160, and 2170, that provide a traditional overview of the major periods, authors, and genres of American and British literature. At the same time, students take an introductory course on literary theory, Engl 2100, which, in addition to introducing them to the methodologies of literary criticism, challenges received notions about the canon and literary history. At the 3000 and 4000 levels, students closely examine the conventions and principles forming the more traditional survey courses. Students select 9 credits from Engl 3300, 3310, and 3320; complete Engl 4300 (Shakespeare); select 3 credits from Engl 4310, 4320, and 4330; and select 6 credits from Engl 4340, 4350, 4360, and 4370. Focusing on specific literary periods, authors, and genres, these courses invite students to think critically about how literature is constructed and organized as a field of knowledge. They also take a linguistics course (Engl 4200 or 4210), in which they study the structure and history of the English language.

230 English

At the 5000 level, students pursue advanced study of literature in relation to issues of gender and sexuality, regional and national boundaries, and cultural differences. These courses provide the advanced theoretical tools necessary to analyze the relationship between literature and culture (6 credits from Engl 5300, 5320, and 5340). These courses insist that literary texts both exist within and depend upon a complex network of other cultural representations. Students also select one elective course in authors or genres from Engl courses numbered 4300 through 4370. The final course, a senior capstone seminar (Engl 5350), encourages graduating students to both synthesize and critique their differing educational experiences within the program.

Professional and Technical Writing Emphasis. This 49credit emphasis prepares students for career opportunities in various writing-related careers in professional organizations. The emphasis consists of: (1) a theoretical foundation in rhetoric and linguistics, enabling students to assess any writing situation and adapt their writing to the context as audience-aware writers; and (2) writing practice in a variety of contexts using the most up-to-date tools of technology, so that students know how to write and why they are writing, thus preparing them for the ever-changing job markets of the twenty-first century. Students begin their studies by completing one literature survey course (Engl 2140, 2150, 2160, or 2170) and two introductory professional writing courses (Engl 3400 and 3410) introducing students to the profession of writing and the current technologies used in all levels of text production. At the same time, students also take two courses (chosen from Engl 3450, 3460, and 5490) addressing rhetorical issues and strategies in the perception, reading, and writing of texts, and two courses in linguistics (chosen from Engl 4200, 4210, 4230, and 5210) acquainting students with the structure and diversity of the English language. In addition, all Professional and Technical Writing students must take Engl 1120, Elements of Grammar, or pass the challenge exam offered by the Writing Center. Prerequisites for applications courses and internships must be passed with a grade of B- or higher. Students then take courses in professional editing (Engl 4400), document design and graphics (Engl 4410), interactive media (Engl 5410), and publication production and management (Engl 5420). Along with these, students may also take courses in creative writing (Engl 3420, 3430, and 3440), as well as with more specific forms of writing, such as proposals, newsletters, and computer documentation (Engl 5400). Internships (Engl 4900) provide students with an opportunity to learn through hands-on experiences in a variety of organizations. Students complete the program by taking a capstone course (Engl 5430), in which they prepare portfolios, explore professional opportunities, and prepare to begin their careers.

English Teaching Emphasis. This 52-credit emphasis, leading to professional licensure in the teaching of secondary-level English, prepares prospective English teachers to participate actively in the many communities related to the profession. Students become well-versed in their academic subject matter (language, writing, literature, and multimedia), skilled in the methods of teaching the various components of the English curricula and in classroom management techniques, and committed to the achievement of students regardless of gender, race, or ethnic, religious, or socioeconomic background.

Students first complete 9 credits of literature survey courses selected from Engl 2140, 2150, 2160, and 2170 and 3 credits of literary theory (Engl 2100) to acquire a broad understanding of the traditional literary canon and the current theoretical foundations of English studies. They must also take Engl 1120, Elements of Grammar, or pass the challenge exam offered by the Writing Center. They then take Engl 3520, 4200, and 4220, which address the current understandings of the diversity of American language and culture as it impacts the English classroom. Students take courses in young adult literature (Engl 3510), Shakespeare (Engl 4300), and 15 more credits of upper-division literature and writing courses to become familiar with the spectrum of theoretical, ideological, and scholarly issues at stake in English studies today. To become familiar with the art of teaching the many components of the English curriculum, students take two pedagogical courses (Engl 4500 and 4510), which approach reading and writing as interdependent aspects of communication. If students wish to obtain professional licensure at graduation, they must fulfill the requirements of the 35-credit Secondary Teacher Education Program (STEP) prescribed by the Department of Secondary Education. American Studies Major. Many important problems associated with the origin, evolution, and destiny of our culture transcend the boundaries of traditional subject areas. The American Studies major is an interdepartmental program providing students with the opportunity to integrate studies in various fields into a broad understanding of American culture and its antecedents. Because of its interdisciplinary nature, students have maximum freedom to pursue academic interests focusing on American culture by permitting them to choose areas of concentration and relevant courses from a variety of participating departments. The programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration resides in the English Department and is supervised by The American Studies Committee, comprised of representatives from participating departments. For admission and graduation, students must have and maintain a minimum grade point average of 2.75. All courses used to fulfill the major and minor requirements must be taken on an A-B-C-D-F basis, and major or minor subject courses passed with less than a C grade must be repeated. However, up to 3 credits of internship credit, which is recorded as P/F, may be used to fulfill the major requirements. Transfer students are required to take at least 15 credits of major subject courses and 10 credits of minor subject courses in residence at USU. Students in American Studies have the option of pursuing either a Composite major of 51 credits, which provides a greater depth and breadth of understanding of American culture, or a Standard major of 33 credits, which also requires students to fulfill the requirements of an approved minor. Students must take 9 credits of coursework that will provide an appropriate foundation for further study in their selected clusters, of which 6 credits may be completed in lower-division courses. Students must also complete a 3-credit advanced seminar during their junior year (Engl 4620), and a 3-credit course involving a senior project (Engl 4690). In addition, all American Studies majors and minors plan courses of study drawing on six interdisciplinary course clusters: (1) American Institutions and Ideas, (2) American Art and Literature, (3) American Culture and Diversity, (4) American Folklore, (5) Nature and the Environment, and (6) Studies in the American West. Students in the 51-credit Composite major must complete a minimum of 36 credits from among these clusters. Students in the 33-credit Standard major must take a minimum of 18 credits from the clusters. Students in both majors may substitute a 3-credit internship for one of the cluster courses.

English 231

American Studies Minor. American Studies minors must meet and maintain a 2.75 GPA admissions and graduation standard, complete the portfolio requirement, and complete the following 18-credit requirement. Students are required to complete 6 credits in foundations courses, 9 credits of courses drawn from the six interdisciplinary course clusters listed under the American Studies major, and the junior-level advanced seminar (Engl/Hist 4620). For the 9 cluster credits, at least 6 credits must be from one cluster, and two clusters must be represented. The courses of study must be approved by the American Studies advisor (Ray B. West 206A) at least one year in advance of graduation. English Teaching Minor. English Teaching minor students must meet and maintain a 2.75 GPA for admission and graduation and complete the following 27-credit requirement: Engl 2140 or 2150; Engl 2160 or 2170; Engl 3510, 3520, 4200, 4220, 4300, 4500, 4510. Any deviation from this plan must have the approval of the English Department’s Director of Undergraduate Studies (Ray B. West 204F). English Minor (Standard Nonteaching). The standard nonteaching minor consists of 18 credits of various courses, 12 of which must be in upper-division coursework. Nine of the 18 credits must be earned in residence at USU. Advanced Placement and CLEP credit and credit from Engl 1010 and 2010 may not be counted toward this minor. The program must be approved by the Director of Undergraduate Studies at least one year prior to graduation. British and Commonwealth Studies Minor. The 18-credit minor in British and Commonwealth Studies is an interdisciplinary program sponsored by the departments of English and History. Students must complete Engl/Hist 2040, then select four appropriate courses from an approved list, and conclude with Engl 5920 or Hist 4930, in which they complete an individual project concerning Britain and/or the Commonwealth. The program selected must be approved by the chair of the British and Commonwealth Studies Program at least one year prior to graduation. Note: Courses used to fulfill requirements for the English or History majors may not be used for this minor. For further information, contact either the English Department or the History Department.

Additional Information and Updates English programs are constantly being updated. Students should therefore confer with the Director of Undergraduate Studies (Ray B. West 204F) or undergradutate advisor (Ray B. West 204E), or the American Studies advisor (Ray B. West 204E) for information about changes in requirements, scheduling, and sequencing of courses. Current requirement sheets are also available from the English Department (Ray B. West 201) and in the Science/HASS Advising Center (Student Center 302). Degree program information is also available at the department’s website.

Financial Support and Scholarships Scholarships, assistantships, grants-in-aid, and work-study programs are available through the University. In addition, the English Department employs a few students as tutors in The Writing Center and oversees various cooperative education and internship opportunities for students. Departmental scholarships are available on a competitive basis to juniors and seniors, as well as to some sophomores. Applications are accepted in January and February and are available in the college dean’s office, Main 338.

Graduate Programs Admission Requirements In addition to the requirements specified on pages 72-73 (Admission Procedures), applicants for admission to the English Department graduate programs should have a BS or BA degree with an undergraduate major in a subject area relevant to the graduate program they desire to enter. The English Department accepts the Miller Analogies Test in place of the GRE general test, but encourages applicants to take the GRE. The department also requires a 5-10 page writing sample appropriate to the program the applicant desires to enter. The Technical Writing program has additional requirements; see http://techcomm.usu.edu. International applicants from non-English-speaking countries who desire an MS or MA degree in English should have a BS or BA degree in English from an accredited, English-speaking university. Students whose command of written English is not adequate to the demands of writing a graduate thesis in English may be required to take courses in Intensive English or may be counseled to obtain a second bachelor’s degree at USU (30 credits minimum). The annual application deadline is January 15 for those who wish to be considered for a graduate instructor position, a Moyle Q. Rice Scholarship, or other form of financial aid. The final annual deadline is June 1 for all other applicants who wish to begin their course of study fall semester. Late applications will be considered on a space-available basis only. Anyone who has not been accepted into a graduate program in the English Department must have permission from the department’s director of graduate studies to enroll in English graduate courses.

Degree Programs The Department of English offers courses of study leading to the MS and MA degrees in English and in American Studies. Applicants seeking the English degree may be admitted into the Literary Studies program, the Theory and Practice of Writing program, or the Technical Writing program. Applicants seeking the interdisciplinary American Studies degree may draw from almost any combination of courses dealing with American culture: literature, history, art, government, etc. Folklore is one of the major subject areas in American Studies, with courses in all aspects of folklore study, including public sector folklore. For a more complete description of the Department of English graduate programs, see the department’s website: http://english.usu.edu.

English Program Requirements Applicants will be admitted to the English degree for one of three programs: Literary Studies (30 credits), Theory and Practice of Writing (30-33 credits), or Technical Writing (33 credits). Literary Studies. The purpose of the graduate Literary Studies master’s degree program is to introduce students to the professional practice of literary and cultural criticism. Approximately one-half of the incoming students in Literary Studies enter directly upon finishing their undergraduate degrees. The rest come to the graduate program with varied work backgrounds. For all students, however, the emphasis in the program is on professionalism. Most students pursue teaching as a profession, including

232 English

those who anticipate completing doctoral work in English and expect to teach in higher education, those who are already employed as teachers in secondary education or community colleges, and those who, after completing an undergraduate degree, are preparing for entry into teaching in secondary education or community colleges. Literary Studies emphasizes three major components of professional practice: pedagogy, criticism, and research. All entering graduate students take two required courses, Teaching Literature (Engl 6310) and Critical Theory (Engl 6320), as early in their careers as possible. It is also expected, though not required, that many students in the program will be employed as graduate instructors, and will consequently take Practicum in Teaching English (Engl 6820). In Teaching Literature (Engl 6310) students examine pedagogical theory and engage in practical exercises involving the application of that theory to teaching situations, thus preparing both future doctoral students and future secondary educators to teach the introductory literature courses that lie immediately ahead in their careers. In Critical Theory (Engl 6320) students analyze the key methodological debates within literary and cultural studies and—most importantly—position themselves within those debates. The majority of the program’s credit hours are devoted to Seminar in Literary and Cultural Studies (Engl 6330). This is a repeatable course with topics changing each semester according to student need and faculty interest. There is no limit to the topics that can be offered. Students can expect to take five to seven seminars, choosing from topics that might include, for example, Fitzgerald and Hemingway, Victorian Popular Culture, Postmodern American Literature, Women’s Western Fiction, British Fiction of the Blitz, Poems and Letters of Emily Dickinson, Chaucer, Postcolonial Literature and Theory, Political Shakespeare, Women Writers of the Commonwealth, and Regionalism in British Literature. The purpose of these varied courses is to immerse students within specialized fields of inquiry and to emphasize the production of professional-quality research and writing. Ultimately, the experience of the research seminars becomes the basis for the student’s own independent research and writing, and the program’s course of study culminates in the writing of a thesis (either Plan A or Plan B), under the guidance of a faculty mentor, on a topic selected by the student. In addition to completing coursework and an independent project, students must also complete the Master of Arts degree by fulfilling the foreign language requirements as specified by the School of Graduate Studies (see page 77 of this catalog). Students interested in interdisciplinary work may take up to 6 credits in another area or department in lieu of the corresponding credits for Engl 6330. Students employed in the department as graduate instructors must complete Practicum in Teaching English (Engl 6820) in lieu of 3 credits of Engl 6330. The Literary Studies specialization is intended to be completed in two years (four semesters). By the time they complete it, graduate students will have redefined themselves as scholar-teachers—with their own individual voices, methods, and expertise—on the verge of professional careers in academics and education. Theory and Practice of Writing. Theory and Practice of Writing offers students a chance to study writing theory in addition to encouraging the actual practice of writing. Most of the students in this program are pursuing careers involving the teaching of writing. After graduation, they may teach in two-year colleges or they may pursue doctoral study in a field such as Composition and Rhetoric. Alternatively, they may already be teaching at the

secondary level. Courses will introduce students to the field of Composition Studies and train them in rhetorical theory, research methods, and creative and technical writing, primarily from the teaching perspective. Students in Theory and Practice of Writing must take Introduction to Composition Studies (Engl 6810). They should also take Advanced English Theory and Methods (Engl 6850) or, if they are employed as graduate instructors, Practicum in Teaching English (Engl 6820). Students may pursue either the MS or the MA degree; however, the department recommends the MA for those students planning to continue study at the doctoral level. Students may also choose between Plan A, Plan B, or Plan C. Plan A consists of 24 credits of coursework and 6 credits of thesis; Plan B consists of 27 credits of coursework and 3 credits of thesis; and Plan C consists of 33 credits of coursework. Technical Writing (online). Technical Writing is designed for students who already have some training and/or experience as practitioners of technical writing. The program is entirely online, available to anyone, anywhere, via the Internet. The program’s mission is to prepare students to enter or reenter nonacademic workplaces, not just as practitioners, but also as developers and managers of technical documents. When they finish the program, students will be qualified to determine and defend writing policy and practices in their workplaces. To prepare students for these leadership roles, the program provides them with a strong theoretical understanding of their profession. In their online graduate seminars, students will read widely in research and theory relating to workplace writing practices. They will critically examine both the theories and the practices, and they will explore ways in which each can enhance the other. They will also learn how to manage teams of writers, and they will explore ethical issues in the profession. The program will balance the theoretical training with opportunities for students to improve their own practical skills as technical writers, learning how to apply theory and current technology to the production of a variety of technical documents. This practical training will include multimedia presentations and graphic design. The program is designed primarily for nontraditional students—working professional writers who want to enhance their credentials and build a strong theoretical understanding of their profession. However, it may also accept some traditional students who have just finished their undergraduate studies. Students in Technical Writing must complete 33 credits under the Plan C option. Courses may be taken in any sequence. Students in this program pursue the MS degree. They must complete a portfolio (3 credits of Engl 6490) and an internship (6 credits of Engl 6900).

American Studies Program Requirements Those applicants who have been admitted to the American Studies degree will work out a program of study with either the American Studies advisor or the Folklore advisor. Generally, students develop their programs with an emphasis in American literature, folklore, or history. Interdisciplinary connections with many other departments at USU are possible. Students may choose to emphasize either the Standard program or the Folklore program, which includes a public folklore track. The American Studies degree requires 30 credits, with a preference for the MA and the Plan A (thesis) options, although the MS and the Plan B options are also accepted. Students in the standard program must take American Studies Theory and Method (Engl 6600) early in their course of study.

English 233

Students in the Folklore program must take Folklore Theory and Method (Engl 6700) early in their course of study. Students selecting the public folklore track will follow the same requirements as students in the Folklore program, with the following exception. All students in the public folklore track are required to take Folklore Fieldwork (Engl 6720), Public Folklore (Engl 6730), and Graduate Internship (Engl 6900). Of special interest to students in American Studies are the Western Historical Quarterly and the Western American Literature journals published at USU, which often provide editorial and clerical positions for graduate students. Also, The Mountain West Center for Regional Studies sponsors lectures and programs and provides research assistance for students working in the field of regional studies. The Merrill Library is a regional depository for federal publications and receives 60,000 to 70,000 government titles each year. The library’s Special Collections contain thousands of historical photographs, an immense store of pioneer diaries and papers, and a strong collection of books and manuscripts relating to the west, the pioneers, the Mormons, cowboys, and cowboy poetry. The Fife Folklore Archives, named after Utah folklorists Austin and Alta Fife and recognized as one of the best folklore archives in the country, contains over 3,400 books on folklore and folklore-related topics. The Special Collections also serve as the national repository for the American Folklore Society’s Papers, over 50 linear feet of records and documents accumulated during the 114-year history of the organization.

General Requirements All candidates for the MS and MA degrees must meet the School of Graduate Studies requirements (see pages 73-79 of this catalog). Only grades of B- or better will be accepted for credits in support of the degree programs; however, students must maintain an overall GPA of 3.0 to remain in the program. All candidates must complete a comprehensive examination covering the material of their graduate program; however, the nature of this examination varies according to the particular program and the advice of the candidate’s supervisory committee. All candidates are required to successfully defend their Plan A thesis or Plan B papers. After successfully defending their Plan A thesis, students must submit a department-approved final draft to the thesis coordinator in the Graduate School office (Main 164). After successfully defending their Plan B papers, students must submit a department-approved copy to University Library Special Collections (Merrill Library 143). All candidates who are first-year graduate instructors are required to take Practicum in Teaching English (Engl 6820) during their first semester. The candidate’s supervisory committee will determine whether English 6820 will be accepted as part of the candidate’s graduate program.

Financial Assistance The Department of English has a limited number of graduate instructor positions and Moyle Q. Rice Scholarships available on a competitive basis for both English and American Studies graduate students. Additional financial aid is available through the Journal of Western American Literature. All applicants whose application materials are received by January 15 will automatically be considered for possible scholarship awards. All applicants who wish to be considered for a graduate instructorship should contact the director of graduate studies in the English Department. The application deadline for instructorships is January 15.

The mission of the department is based on three goals: (1) to promote scholarship and creativity in the discovery, synthesis, and transfer of knowledge relating to the human dimensions of natural resource and environmental management; (2) to apply social science concepts and approaches to better understand human-environment interactions at a range of spatial scales; and (3) to enhance the effectiveness of policies, planning, and administrative processes that affect sustainable use of the natural world. To this end, the department’s academic programs provide undergraduate and graduate students with a balanced exposure to the social, physical, and biological sciences within an interdisciplinary framework. This combination has great relevance for students aspiring to careers in natural resource and environmental policy, planning, management, education, and science, as well as careers in geography. The program is designed to provide students with a working knowledge of the human aspects of ecosystems and a speaking knowledge of the biophysical aspects, as well as experience using “state of the art” tools and techniques for integrating this knowledge.

Undergraduate Programs Objectives The department offers three undergraduate degrees: Environmental Studies, Geography, and Recreation Resource Management. Each of these degrees offers a balanced exposure to key ideas and principles of the social, biological, and physical sciences, placing special emphasis on the human dimensions of natural resources and environmental management. The department’s

goal is to train professionals who can lead the way toward finding and keeping a sustainable balance between protecting the environment and enhancing human societies. Departmental programs offer learning experiences in the classroom and in the field, frequent individual contacts with faculty as teachers and advisors, and opportunities to take part in student and professional organizations. Seasonal employment, internships, and other activities promoting hands-on experience in natural resource and geographic professions are strongly encouraged.

Environment and Society 239

The Environmental Studies curriculum is designed for students who wish to acquire a broad understanding of natural resources and human-environment relationships, together with the technical background needed to understand environmental issues. In many ways, the curriculum provides a traditional “liberal arts education” with a strong natural resources emphasis. Moreover, it offers flexibility for the development of either specialization or breadth of content to match the student’s interests. Environment and Society The Geography curriculum provides a broad background in the basic themes of geography—human (cultural), physical, and regional geography—with a particular focus on environmental and earth resources geography. In addition, students acquire technical geographic analysis skills. Students also have the opportunity to study in a systematic, regional, or technical area of geography. The Recreation Resource Management curriculum prepares students for careers in managing outdoor recreation settings, such as public forests and rangelands, state and national parks, and wilderness areas. Because these jobs require an understanding of both the land and the people who visit it, the major offers courses in both the natural and social sciences, along with an emphasis on communication skills.

Applicants for graduate study in the Department of Environment and Society should have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university, a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 (out of 4.0), and GRE scores (quantitative and verbal) above the 40th percentile. Foreign students should submit a TOEFL score of at least 550. Exceptions to these standards will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Written statements of interest help match applicants with faculty advisors. A faculty member must agree to serve as the major professor in order for an applicant to be accepted. Prospective students are encouraged to contact faculty members early in the application process to investigate mutual interests, projects, and prospects for financial support. The department’s graduate programs focus on providing students with a broad foundation in the social and natural sciences as they relate to the study, planning, and management of ecosystems. The curriculum is designed to enhance interdisciplinary integration by emphasizing current and future environmental issues facing humanity. Coursework and research are focused on problem solving through application of social research methods, case studies, computer mapping, and other analytical techniques. The department values intellectual, academic, and social diversity in the applicants for graduate study. Mature professionals seeking education to augment life experiences, or practical training to pursue new career paths, are also encouraged to apply. Knowledge gaps will be identified early in a student’s program and addressed on a case-by-case basis through agreements between students and their graduate advisory committees.

Degree Programs The department offers opportunities for graduate study through the MS, MA, PhD, and graduate certificate programs listed below. The department also offers opportunities to participate in a college-wide Master of Natural Resources (MNR) program administered through the Dean’s Office of the College of Natural Resources. This program is described more fully on page 374. The MS degree requires a minimum of 30 credits, of which 24 must be in residence. Candidates for the MA must complete the requirements for the MS, with the addition of at least two years

Environment and Society 241

(approximately 16 credits) of an approved foreign language or some other demonstration of foreign language proficiency. There are two options available in both the MS and MA programs. The Plan A requires students to complete coursework, as well as a research thesis. The Plan B is a nonthesis, terminal degree, based largely on coursework and a professional paper or project. For the PhD degree, there is a more variable amount of required coursework, as well as a research dissertation. Compared to the MS degree, the PhD degree has a greater emphasis on theory, research methods, writing research proposals, and publishing research in peer-reviewed outlets.

Bioregional Planning. Graduate education in bioregional planning recognizes the importance of how the biophysical attributes of a region influence the human dimensions of settlement and culture. The reciprocal is also addressed. The two-year Master of Science degree in Bioregional Planning, offered jointly with the Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning, presents an interdisciplinary core of courses and faculty for the purpose of addressing complex issues in the areas of environmental analysis, planning, and policy. Emphasis is placed on four problematic content areas associated with environmental planning: social/behavioral, biophysical, economic, and public policy. The spatial focus is on planning for large regional landscapes with dispersed populations with a primary economic base in agriculture, energy development, tourism/recreation, retirement communities, and natural resources. The program prepares future planners and managers to work within an interdisciplinary environment, providing better alternatives for decisions and policy implementation. Bioregional planning is practiced in both the private and public sectors, which may include offices of the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and various state, county, and community organizations. For further information, see page 320. Geography. Graduate education in Geography provides opportunities for students to gain advanced technical knowledge and skills in formal specializations that include: (1) Human-Environment Interactions, (2) Geographic Information Systems, (3) International Rural Development, (4) Geographic Education, and (5) Environmental Education. Recreation Resource Management. Graduate education in Recreation Resource Management provides opportunities for students to gain advanced knowledge and skills in topics such as: (1) outdoor recreation behavior and attitudes, (2) resource-based conflict and crowding, (3) natural resource-based tourism, (4) natural history interpretation, and (5) integration of outdoor recreation with protected area management or rural development.

Graduate Certificate Programs Faculty in the Department of Environment and Society also administer two graduate certificate programs, including Natural Resource and Environmental Policy (NREP) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). By meeting certain core requirements, students are able to obtain a certificate in one or both of these areas complementing their degree program. See pages 372-373 for a description of the NREP Program. The NEPA certificate is subject to final approval by the Board of Regents; details of this program can be found in the online version of the catalog.

Proposed Degrees and Certificates The department has several degree and certificate programs in the proposal stage, with the objective of having them available for the Fall 2003 semester. MS, MA, and PhD degrees in Human Dimensions of Natural Resources and Environment would provide opportunities for students to gain knowledge and skills in the social aspects of ecosystem management and planning. Plan C (MS and MA) degrees in Geography, based solely on coursework, would be available only for elementary or secondary teachers seeking a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in Geographic Education or Environmental Education. A graduate certificate in Natural Resource and Environmental Education would provide students having an interest in this area with an opportunity to complement their matriculation in a wide array of degree programs currently offered by the University. Contact the department for the status of these offerings.

Research The generation of new knowledge through research is one of the key contributions that an academic department makes to professions and society at large. Research is also a major venue for the interaction of graduate students and faculty in the Department of Environment and Society. Although faculty and students work on many different issues, the research strives to be interdisciplinary and focuses on merging the relevant social and natural sciences. Work is undertaken in Utah and beyond, including several projects elsewhere in the United States and in developing nations. Funding comes from a variety of public and private sources. The department houses one institute and three programs that also collaborate on research. These include the Institute for Outdoor Recreation and Tourism, the Natural Resource and Environmental Policy Program, the Geographic Education Program, and the Environmental Education Program.

Financial Assistance General aspects of financial support for graduate students at Utah State University are listed on pages 71-72 in the Graduate Financial Assistance section. This includes important information on the University-wide policies and terms of reference for research and teaching assistantships, graduate tuition obligations and benefits, Western Regional Graduate Programs, and competitive University-wide fellowships and scholarships. The Department of Environment and Society intends that all graduate students be financially supported. Graduate research assistantships are available through major professors having contracts, grants, or other awards. Internships may also be created on a case-by-case basis. A student may want to author or co-author a proposal with a faculty member to fund a new initiative. There are also open competitions for graduate scholarships and fellowships through the College of Natural Resources. The department also has a few graduate teaching assistantships where graduate students typically help instructors with teaching, grading, or recitation in large courses. Interested persons should contact the department early in the application process for more information on financial assistance for graduate students. Prospective students may also visit http://www.cnr.usu.edu and link to the departmental website.

Family and Human Development 247

Undergraduate Programs Objectives The Department of Family and Human Development offers a program designed to prepare students for careers as family and human development specialists in agencies serving children and other family members throughout the life span. Majors study a curriculum which ranges from infancy through old age, and from marital formation to marital dissolution through death or divorce. These classes help students develop the knowledge and skills necessary to deal professionally with current issues and problems confronting families and children in the nation and the world. Student majors in Family and Human Development are required to complete a practicum experience, which is arranged with the practicum coordinator locally or in other geographical areas. Types of practicum sites include state agencies, hospitals, preschools and child care centers, nursing homes, senior citizen centers, parenting programs, detention centers, crisis intervention programs, public schools, head start programs, and after-school programs. Practicum experience in the Deaf Education and Human Development emphases includes the Adele and Dale Young Child Development Lab setting. Students majoring in Early Childhood Education complete a formal internship in the Adele and Dale Young Child Development Labs and in primary school grades as part of this focus.

for admission into the major (code FHD). Students who have met these requirements should bring a copy of their transcript and the Change of Major form to FL 214 to obtain a signature from the undergraduate advisor. College of Family Life Requirement. FHD majors, like other majors in the College of Family Life, must complete the college orientation course, FL 1100 (2 cr., spring semester). Background Check. All students will be required to pass a background check prior to participation in a practicum experience (FHD 4980). Departmental Program Requirements. The department has several regulations governing studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; academic progress: 1. The P/D+, D, and F option cannot be used for courses required in the FHD major or minor. 2. A required course can only be repeated once to improve a grade. 3. An overall cumulative GPA of 2.75 is required to enter the major, and a cumulative 2.75 GPA is required for graduation. A GPA of 2.75 in FHD major courses is also required for graduation. 4. All major requirements, as described below, must be completed.

Majors in Family and Human Development, as well as in Early Childhood Education, receive the necessary preparation for graduate study in a family and human development related field or employment. Early Childhood Education majors acquire a teaching license so they can also teach in the public schools.

All majors in the department (except ECE majors) complete a common departmental core of 24 semester credits, and then choose an emphasis in Family and Community Services, Human Development, or Deaf Education as shown below.

Additional Information The undergraduate program may be tailored to individual student needs with the help of a faculty advisor. For additional information about the degree requirements, course sequencing, and departmental specialization options and their related coursework, as well as updated information describing current programs and courses offered by the Department of Forest, Range, and Wildlife Sciences, visit the Forest, Range, and Wildlife Sciences main office, Natural Resources 206, or visit http://www.cnr.usu.edu and link to the departmental website.

Graduate Programs Admission Requirements The Department of Forest, Range, and Wildlife Sciences offers opportunities for graduate study through MS and PhD degree programs in Ecology, Forestry, Range Science, and Wildlife Biology. The department also offers opportunities to participate in a college-wide Master of Natural Resources (MNR) degree program administered through the College of Natural Resources. The MNR is described more fully on page 374. The programs of instruction and research leading to graduate degrees in the department are available only to students meeting high scholastic standards who are accepted for study by the departmental faculty. Students desiring entrance to these graduate programs should contact the department head for information concerning eligibility. USU School of Graduate Studies general admission requirements are described on pages 72-73. Applicants for graduate study in the department should have a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree from an accredited college or university, a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 (out of 4.0), and GRE scores (quantitative and verbal) above the 40th percentile. Foreign students should submit a TOEFL score of at least 550. Exceptions to these standards will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Written statements of interest help match applicants with faculty advisors. A faculty member must agree to serve as the major professor in order for an applicant to be accepted for study. Prospective students are encouraged to contact faculty members early in the application process to investigate mutual interests, projects, and prospects for financial support. A natural resources baccalaureate degree is not required for admission to the department, although a sound background in the natural sciences is strongly recommended. Students lacking the requisite background will work with their supervisory committee to address deficiencies.

Degree Programs The MS degree is offered for students motivated toward a management or administrative career in natural resources management. The MS may be obtained through either a Plan A (research thesis) or Plan B (nonthesis) program, as described on page 77. The Plan A option requires a thesis based on original research conducted by the student. The Plan B option is recommended for professional forestry, rangeland, or wildlife managers who do not

desire research training. The PhD degree is intended for students seeking a natural resources research or academic career. Comprehensive exams (both oral and written) are required in the doctoral program. The minimum requirement for an MS degree is 30 credits, including at least 24 credits in residency and 6 credits of thesis research. The minimum requirement for a PhD degree is 60 approved graduate credits in addition to an MS degree, or 90 approved graduate credits with no MS degree. At least one year (a minimum of 32 credits), including a minimum of two consecutive semesters, of full-time registration must be in residence at USU. With committee approval, graduate credit may be transferred from accredited graduate schools, provided the minimum residency requirement (including thesis and dissertation credit) at USU is met. Transfer credit, which must not have been used for any other degree, will be shown on official USU transcripts at completion of the degree.

Research Cooperation with other departments and research centers of the University, as well as with government collaborators, permits strong graduate programs in all aspects of forest, range, and wildlife-related sciences. Particular mention should be made of the USU Ecology Center, in which the Forest, Range, and Wildlife Sciences Department is very active; the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station, which has a full program in both applied and basic research; the Utah Cooperative Fisheries and Wildlife Research Unit; the Predator Ecology and Behavior Field Station; the Jack H. Berryman Institute; the Center for Water Resources Research; the U.S. Forest Service Rocky Mountain Forest and Range Experiment Station; and the USDA Agricultural Research Service. The Institute for Land Rehabilitation, located within the department, acts as a clearinghouse of information on land reclamation, especially semiarid rangelands. The International Pastoral Production Institute, also located within the department, offers training in production systems for developing nations.

Financial Assistance General aspects of financial support for graduate students at Utah State University are listed on pages 71-72 in the Graduate Financial Assistance section. This includes important information on the University-wide policies and terms of reference for research and teaching assistantships, graduate tuition obligations and benefits, Western Regional Graduate Programs, and competitive University-wide fellowships and scholarships. The College of Natural Resources also offers a limited number of Quinney Doctoral Fellowships for incoming doctoral students. Graduate research assistantships may be available on a competitive basis to both MS and PhD students through major professors having contracts, grants, or other awards from the University, private sector, or government agencies. These assistantships vary in the amount of support offered, but they commonly offer a stipend to help cover living expenses and operating funds to carry out the research. Other benefits may include assistance with tuition and student health insurance, as well as opportunities to travel. The department also has a few graduate teaching assistantships for students who help with teaching, grading, or recitation in large courses. These typically pay only a modest supplement on a semester basis, however, and are not sufficient to cover living expenses. Domestic PhD students on a research assistantship in some departmental degree programs are required to hold at least

Forest, Range, and Wildlife Sciences 255

one teaching assistantship during their program, to obtain experience in classroom (mainly undergraduate) instruction. MS students may also hold teaching assistantships, contingent upon availability of funds. Acceptance to pursue graduate study does not guarantee the student financial assistance.

Undergraduate Programs Objectives Geology is the study of the planet Earth, the materials of which it is made, the processes that act on these materials, the products formed, and the history of the planet and its life forms since its origin. Geology considers the physical forces that act within and on the Earth, the chemistry of its constituent materials, and the biology of its past inhabitants as revealed by fossil evidence. Geologists integrate biology, chemistry, engineering, mathematics, and physics in the study of our natural surroundings. The knowledge thus obtained is used by geologists to explore for energy, mineral, and water resources; to identify geologically stable sites for major structures; and to provide foreknowledge of some of the dangers associated with the mobile forces of a dynamic Earth. Geologists provide fundamental information required by modern society to plan for cultural and industrial development, reduce geological hazards, identify potential resources, and assist in the design of waste-disposal facilities. The Department of Geology prepares students for professional careers in the geosciences and provides the background required for advanced studies. The department offers three options of study to meet the growing demand for geoscientists with training in general geology (BS in geology without an emphasis), hydroge-

ology-engineering geology, or geoarchaeology. All options provide exposure to the sciences and an appreciation of our physical surroundings. The BS program in Geology meets the curriculum standards established by the American Institute of Professional Geologists. The department also offers the Composite Teaching Major in Earth Science to prepare teachers of earth science at the secondary school level. Requirements for this major meet or exceed the standards of the National Science Teachers Association. Those students who major in earth science should be aware that state licensure is required of secondary education teachers. The Composite Teaching Major in Earth Science fulfills the requirements that provide eligibility for licensure. Licensure requirements vary from state to state, and students should investigate the requirements for the states in which they intend to seek employment. Advising for the Secondary Teacher Education Program (STEP) and State of Utah secondary education licensure is provided by the USU Department of Secondary Education. The Department of Geology is housed within the Geology Building, which is located at the northeast corner of the Old Main Quad. The Geology Building provides spacious, well-equipped teaching labs, classrooms, and facilities, including a display and study area for students, computer access, document room, map room, preparation facilities, and research labs.

262 Geology

courses may be selected from other departments on campus, such as Civil and Environmental Engineering; Plants, Soils, and Biometeorology; Biology; Mathematics and Statistics; Aquatic, Watershed, and Earth Resources; Environment and Society; and Forest, Range, and Wildlife Sciences.

Specializations Fields of specialization for graduate research include the following: hydrogeology, igneous petrology, paleoecology (including invertebrate paleontology), sedimentary geology (including petrology, basin analysis, sedimentation, stratigraphy, and petroleum geology), process geomorphology, Quaternary geology, structural geology, and regional tectonics.

Degree Requirements Only the Plan A thesis option is allowed for the MS degree in Geology. The recommended distribution is 20 credits of coursework and 10 credits of thesis to obtain the required 30 credits for the MS degree. A minimum of five 6000-level geology courses (other than Geol 6800) is recommended for the degree program. Only two grades of less than B (C to B-) will be accepted as part of the required degree program as listed on the “Program of Study for Master’s Degree.” A 3.0 grade point average must be obtained in required coursework as listed on the Program of Study. Thesis credits will be graded P-F only (i.e., no letter grade will be given). Geology graduate students using department or University facilities and/or under geology faculty supervision must register for a minimum of 3 credits every semester, up to and including the semester in which the thesis is cleared by the School of Graduate Studies. Registration may not be required during the summer.

Research There are six broad areas of research emphasis within the department: (1) sedimentary geology, (2) structural geology (3) regional tectonics, (4) igneous petrology and geochemistry, (5) geomorphology, and (6) hydrogeology. Research in sedimentary geology is diverse: sedimentation and development of coral reefs and associated carbonate environments during Pleistocene and Holocene times, changes in shallow-water carbonate environments through early Paleozoic time, nonmarine siliciclastic depositional systems and petroleum reservoirs, geochemical provenance methods, and large-scale architecture of Mesozoic-Cenozoic intracontinental basins in Asia. Research activities are dominantly field-oriented, and often have a subsurface component. Studies are ongoing in the western United States, Mexico, the Carribean, China, and west Africa.

sin analysis to the tectonics of basin formation and large scale crustal structures in China, Mongolia, Pakistan, and west Africa. Research in igneous petrology and geochemistry focuses on the origin and evolution of basic to intermediate magmatic systems, and their relationship to global tectonic processes. Current projects include plume-related volcanism and its interaction with continental lithosphere in the Snake River Plain, Idaho, the origin and tectonic evolution of accreted arc terranes, the multi-stage origin of ophiolites, especially the Coast Range ophiolite of California, and the formation and evolution of lunar highlands crust. Geomorphology research includes the study of climate and anthropogenic controls on landscape change and sedimentation; controls on alluvial stratigraphy; hillslope processes; numerical modeling of climate controls on basin stratigraphy; Quaternary landscape evolution of the Grand Canyon; and the integration and evolution of the Colorado River. Research activity in hydrogeology includes wellhead protection in confined to semiconfined aquifers, the relationships between stream losses and water table depths, and the identification and geochemical characterization of groundwater recharge to surface streams. Geology faculty members commonly interact with the faculty and staff of the Utah Water Research Laboratory; the College of Natural Resources; the Department of Plants, Soils, and Biometeorology; and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

Financial Assistance Departmental financial support for incoming graduate students consists primarily of graduate teaching assistantships, which are awarded on a competitive basis. There is often other financial support available, such as research assistantships, resulting from grants or other external funding. Students requesting financial support should apply directly to the department no later than February 15. Admission to the MS program does not guarantee financial assistance.

Additional Information Additional information on the research activities of faculty and graduate students may be obtained directly from the Department of Geology’s website at http://www.usu.edu/geoldept.

Additional Information For updated information concerning programs and courses offered by the Department of History, visit the departmental web page at http://www.usu.edu/history.

Financial Support Scholarships, grants-in-aid, and work-study programs are available through the University. The History Department offers tuition waivers and scholarships to outstanding students. In addition, undergraduates may be employed as research assistants and clerical assistants within the department. For current information on scholarships and employment opportunities, consult the department head.

Graduate Programs Admission Requirements Graduate applicants may be admitted to the program for either the master of arts or master of science in history if they meet the following qualifications: (1) hold a baccalaureate degree; (2) have at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA over the last 60 credits of undergraduate work, with a 3.5 GPA in history courses recommended; (3) submit Graduate Record Examination (GRE) general test scores, with a required minimum score at the 40th percentile on the verbal section, and a recommended minimum score at the 40th percentile on both the quantitative and analytical portions of the exam; (4) submit three letters of recommendation from persons acquainted with the applicant’s academic performance and potential; and (5) submit a brief statement of proposed fields of interest and career goals. The Department of History also strongly recommends that applicants have either an undergraduate major or minor in history or a closely related field (i.e., American studies, classics). Familiarity with one or more foreign languages is highly desirable and is required for the master of arts degree and for master’s level research in many fields of history. Applications will be strengthened by the submission of an example of the student’s historical writing, such as a paper (about 15 pages in length) written for a seminar or upper-division course. The final recommendation for admission will be made upon consideration of all the above factors by the department and the School of Graduate Studies.

Degree Programs and Additional Requirements Master’s Degree, Plan A (Thesis). The thesis option should be taken by anyone intending to do research or enter another program for the doctoral degree. A master of arts, master of science, or master of social sciences degree can be completed with this option. The program consists of 30 semester credits beyond the bachelor’s degree, 6 credits of which must be in thesis research. Students must take Hist 6000, as well as either Hist 6010 or 6020, or another theory-intensive course approved by the director of graduate studies. Students may apply a maximum of 4 internship credits earned while working in an archives, for a museum, on the staff of a scholarly journal, or as a teaching intern in an upper-division undergraduate course. The remainder of the 30 credits may be taken as electives in history or related courses relevant to the student’s program. Upon arrival at USU, students are urged to meet with the departmental graduate advisor, who will direct them to one or more faculty members with similar interests. Through consultations with the graduate and faculty advisor, the first-year student will form a thesis committee and formulate a course of study. By the end of the first year, most students will have submitted to their committees a proposal for the thesis, which they will write under the close supervision of the committee members. The oral defense usually takes place in the spring semester of the second year.

History 279

Master’s Degree, Plan B (Nonthesis). A nonthesis master’s program can help a student attain employment in many areas, but is not recommended for students planning to secure a doctorate. A master of arts, master of science, or master of social sciences degree can be completed with this option. The Plan B program consists of 30 credits beyond the bachelor’s degree. The course requirements are identical to those of the Plan A program, except that only 3 thesis credits are permitted. Students completing the Plan B program do not write a full-length thesis. Instead, Plan B students write a research paper of approximately 30 pages in length and submit a portfolio of their graduate writing, which includes two additional and distinct pieces of writing. Students defend their Plan B research papers and writing portfolios before their major professor and the members of the supervisory committee. Final approval of the Plan B rests with the department, rather than with the School of Graduate Studies.

Master of Arts. To receive a master of arts (MA) degree, students must successfully complete two years of foreign language at the undergraduate level. If two years of undergraduate language study already appear on the student’s transcript, he or she must demonstrate current competence through successful completion of a language exam or by taking a 3000- or 4000-level language course for which a grade of B or higher proves competency. In all cases, an individual assessment must be made of a student’s language status. For further information, see page 77. Students planning to continue on for a doctorate should be aware that many doctoral programs in history require that students pass written proficiency exams in two languages.

Master of Science. To receive a master of science (MS) degree in history, students must demonstrate, to the satisfaction of their supervisory committee, the ability to incorporate computer science, statistics, or environmental science in their research.

Master of Social Sciences (MSS). Like the MA and MS in history, the MSS degree requires a minimum of 30 credits, including 15 credits in the major discipline of history, plus a minimum of 15 credits from one of the following two tracks. Track A: a minimum of 15 credits from two approved minor areas, with at least two courses in each minor area. Track B: a minimum of 15 credits from an approved minor and a liberal arts and sciences cluster, with at least two courses in the minor and two courses in the cluster. Accepted minor disciplines include instructional technology, economics, geography, political science, psychology, and sociology/anthropology. This degree is designed for secondary school teachers who need more training to obtain licensure in additional teaching fields or who simply wish to deepen their understanding of a related field. Students in the MSS program are required to take Hist 6000 and 3 credits of Hist 6970 for their Plan B. A supervisory committee consists of a major professor in history and two committee members, each representing one of the student’s minor fields. MSS students, like other Plan B students in history, must write a research paper of approximately 30 pages and submit a portfolio of their graduate writing that consists of two separate and distinct pieces of work, one from each of their two minor fields. An oral defense of the student’s Plan B paper and portfolio is held before the student’s supervisory committee.

Additionally, the master of social sciences (MSS) in history requires students to demonstrate an understanding of statistical applications in the social sciences.

Financial Assistance The primary financial assistance offered by the Department of History is through teaching assistantships. Each year, the History Department offers to qualified students, on a competitive basis, a total of seven teaching assistantships. These assistantships entail approximately 20 hours of work per week, assisting faculty members with departmental introductory survey courses. The award carries a stipend and an out-of-state tuition waiver. To keep their assistantships, teaching assistants must maintain a GPA of 3.0 (or a B average) and be a full-time student (see page 71). While enrolled in the MA or MS program, teaching assistants may hold teaching assistantships for a maximum of two years. Applications for teaching assistantships should be postmarked no later than February 1, for the upcoming academic year. Graduate students may be eligible for Carr Scholarships to supplement their teaching assistantships. Competitive grants to support travel and research are also available to history graduate students. In addition, financial assistance is available through the Western Historical Quarterly, a journal published at USU. The editors of the journal offer, during alternate years, the S. George Ellsworth Editorial Fellowship and the Robert M. Utley Editorial Fellowship. These fellowships are awarded to highly qualified students working as editorial assistants in that office. These fellowships are nationally competitive and allow graduate students to learn all aspects of journal production. They carry a stipend (with additional funding possible during the summer) and a waiver of the out-of-state portion of the tuition. Materials should be postmarked no later than February 1, for the upcoming academic year. Applicants will be notified in early April. Funding for the S. George Ellsworth Fellowship is provided by the Western Historical Quarterly, the School of Graduate Studies, the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, and the S. George Ellsworth Endowment of the Mountain West Center for Regional Studies. The S. George Ellsworth Fellowship is being offered for the 2003-2004 academic year. Funding for the Robert M. Utley Fellowship is provided by the Western Historical Quarterly and the School of Graduate Studies. The Robert M. Utley Fellowship is being offered for the 2002-2003 and 2004-2005 academic years. For further information about Western Historical Quarterly fellowships, write to: Western Historical Quarterly, Utah State University, 0740 Old Main Hill, Logan UT 84322-0740; or send e-mail to: cdoyle@hass.usu.edu. The application deadline for both fellowships is February 1, for the upcoming academic year. Additional Funding. In addition to teaching assistantships and the Western Historical Quarterly editorial assistantships, the School of Graduate Studies awards a limited number of scholarships. To be eligible for these awards, all students should complete the application for admission and send it, along with GRE scores and letters of recommendation, to the School of Graduate Studies by February 1. A financial aid application form (which may be obtained from the History Department) should be returned to the History Department by February 1.

Undergraduate Program Overview Utah State University’s Honors Program, established in 1966, provides an enhanced academic environment for highly motivated undergraduates. The Honors Program includes a community of scholars whose curiosity, creativity, and enthusiasm for learning foster educational achievement and personal growth. Honors offers students intensive seminars, experimental classes, interdisciplinary courses, writing projects, leadership opportunities, and special activities. Members may define independent study programs and design special research projects. Honors students work in close contact with professors in smaller classes; they pursue studies in greater depth than regular classes would allow. Members also enjoy the company of other committed students who encourage and support one another’s intellectual growth and productivity. Honors students participate actively in their own education. Honors serves students who work hard, raise questions, and seek answers. It is designed for students who want to go beyond minimum requirements and narrow specialties. The program benefits those who want to make the most of their university experience. The Honors program maintains strict standards for both entering and completing its program. However, there are no extra fees to pay, and there are honors options suitable for both entering freshmen and transfer students.

Undergraduate Programs Objectives The Department of Human Environments offers programs that address human and environmental issues. These programs are accessed through courses that serve departmental majors as well as majors in many other departments on the campus. The four majors in the department lead to careers in merchandising and business, family finance, teaching and extension, and interior design. Departmental objectives are aimed to educate students so that upon graduation they will be prepared for a career, prepared to be a contributing citizen, and prepared with knowledge and skills useful throughout their lives. The department also prides itself in the service it provides to students in other departments throughout the University, and strives to design selected courses specifically for nonmajors.

Four majors are offered: Apparel and Textiles, Family and Consumer Sciences, Family and Consumer Sciences Education, and Interior Design. The Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) major has two options: (1) an FCS major with a minor and a minimum of 6 credits in each of four subject areas, and (2) an FCS major with a family finance emphasis.

The undergraduate coursework is not applied toward the master’s degree program. The second option is an advanced professional degree, consisting of a two-year course of study for students who hold an undergraduate degree in interior design. This option allows outstanding students to pursue additional knowledge in areas of special interest.

Research Faculty in the department have active, ongoing research projects. Graduate students have the opportunity to participate in many of these projects.

Financial Assistance and Assistantships Clothing and Merchandising. The clothing and merchandising specialization offers two options: (1) apparel merchandising, and (2) socio/psychological-historical. Both options can prepare students for university or college teaching, extension, or doctoral programs. Apparel merchandising students may also wish to focus on a business career. Socio/psychological-historical students may also be interested in careers in the museum field. Department courses are offered in fashion theory, behavioral aspects of dress, international apparel and textile trade, research trends, and clothing and merchandising problems, including archaeological/historical textile analysis. Electives allow concentrations in such areas as business, anthropology, sociology, design, and history.

Consumer Science. This specialization includes a foundation in theory and decision-making processes related to allocation of individual consumer and household resources. Students study economic interactions of families and consumers, with an emphasis on the analysis of household consumption, household financial management, human capital investment, and allocation of time. Theories in economics, finance, sociology, psychology, and quantitative methods are applied to investigate policy questions and decisions made by consumers and households. Graduates in this specialization pursue careers in university or college teaching, Cooperative Extension, government, and social agencies serving families and private industry. Background in family and/or consumer economics, introductory statistics, and research methods is preferred. Students not having a background in these areas may need to take supplementary courses to build entry competencies.

Family and Consumer Sciences Education and Extension. This specialization is designed to prepare teacher educators to work in family and consumer sciences education. Options for concentration are curriculum/program development or extension. Each option includes coursework in education, family and consumer sciences education, and an area of individual student interest. The requirements for the options of curriculum/program development and extension may be filled by a 30-credit program with thesis, a Plan B option, or a 33-credit plan including a practicum and a report. These requirements do not include Utah licensure for teaching in public education.

Teaching and research assistantships are available from the department and from faculty with funded research projects.

Admission Requirements Admission requirements are commensurate with those outlined for the University. See pages 48-51 in this catalog.

Enrollment in upper-division ITE courses (3000-level and above) is available only to students who have been accepted into the PTP or into an appropriate graduate program or to students with a non-ITE major requiring a specific class. (Non-ITE majors may take a maximum of two upper-division ITE classes.) To be eligible to apply for admission to a professional program, a student must be in good academic standing in the University and college, must achieve a grade of C- or better in every required preprofessional course, and must have an overall grade point average of 2.0 in required preprofessional coursework completed at USU. A student can repeat no more than three of the required preprofessional courses in order to satisfy the PTP application and eligibility requirements. Multiple repeats of the same course are included in the total of three repeats. Audits count as a time taking a class unless prior written approval is obtained from the college academic advisor. Although transfer credit accepted by the department and the college may be applied toward PTP admission requirements, the grades received will not be used in the USU GPA calculation. A final decision on admission of a transfer student into the PTP will

296 Industrial Technology and Education

not be made until after the applicant has completed at least 15 credits of acceptable coursework at USU. Eligible students must apply for admission to the PTP during the semester in which they are completing the required preprofessional courses. Industrial Technology and Education For all technology majors in the Professional Program, the following academic regulations apply in addition to University regulations: 1. A minimum GPA of 2.0 must be maintained in technology/math/science/business courses required for, or used as technical electives in, the chosen major. Courses which were part of the preprofessional program requirements and University Studies courses are not included in this GPA calculation. 2. No more than 6 hours of D or D+ credit may be applied toward meeting graduation requirements in technology/math/science/business classes. 3. College of Engineering courses may be repeated only once. Audits count as a time taking a class unless prior written approval is obtained from the department head. A maximum of three required or elective courses completed as part of a Professional Program can be repeated in order to meet graduation requirements. (Courses completed as part of a preprofessional program are not included in this total of three repeats.) 4. The P-D-F grading option may not be used in required or elective courses completed as part of a Professional Program. (The P-D-F grading option is approved for University Studies courses.) 5. The academic regulations listed above (1-4) apply to required coursework and any technology/math/science/business course which could be used to satisfy graduation requirements for the chosen degree. That is, once a student completes a particular technical elective, it becomes a required course for that student. 6. Students in violation of departmental or college academic regulations, no longer eligible for graduation, or not making satisfactory progress toward a degree, will be placed on probation. a. Students will be placed on probation if they (i) earn an F in a technology/math/science/business course which could be used to satisfy graduation requirements for the chosen degree (see item 5 above); (ii) have more than 6 hours of D credit (see item 2 above); or (iii) have a GPA of less than 2.0 (see item 1 above). b. Students remain on probation until they improve their standing by repeating and passing all failed classes, repeating classes to reduce the number of D credits to 6 or less, and/or by raising their GPA above 2.0. c. While on probation, a student must earn a semester GPA of 2.0 or higher in technology/math/science/business classes and must not earn any grades of D or F. While on probation, a student may not preregister. The student’s major code will be changed to a preprofessional code. The student must meet at least once per semester with the college academic advisor to work out a schedule having the primary goal of correcting the existing academic problems.

Degree Programs Master of Science (MS). This degree emphasizes instructional design and development, and prepares the graduate with skills to apply principles of instructional systems design to education and training. The program prepares instructional developers to take positions in corporate training programs in business and industry. It also leads to careers in public and higher education, development of interactive learning technologies, telecommunications, distance education, and adult education. The MS degree is available to qualified students with bachelor’s degrees from any field. Undergraduate students planning in advance for an MS in Instructional Technology should consider the department’s Multimedia Development minor as part of their bachelor’s program. Master of Education (MEd). This master’s program is only available through extension and distance education via EDNET (a two-way audio/video system). The MEd degree is a two-year cohort rotation (i.e., students proceed as a group through the two-year program). To be successful in this master’s degree program, students should own or have access to a personal computer. They will also need an e-mail address and internet access in order to communicate with faculty members and other students in the program. Persons choosing the MEd have two specializations available: Educational Technology and School Library Media Administration. The Educational Technology specialization is directed at public school educators and administrators who are interested in applying the principles of educational technology to the teaching/learning process. This specialization may lead to a position as a district-level or building-level educational technology specialist responsible for technology integration and in-service training related to computers and other technologies. The School Library Media Administration specialization is directed at persons seeking employment in a school library media center. Students seeking this specialization must complete the

School Library Media minor (available only through extension and distance education) and apply for a Utah State Library Media Certificate. This specialization may lead to a position as a district-level or building-level school library media specialist (K-12). The library media specialist is prepared to apply principles of library and information technology to help students and teachers. The library media specialist also understands the effective use of learning resources in the teaching/learning process. Educational Specialist Degree (EdS). The Educational Specialist degree is intended for students interested in acquiring advanced skills in instructional technology beyond those of the master’s degree. This program involves coursework, independent study, practicum experiences, and a culminating experience. The degree requires a minimum of 30 credits beyond the master’s degree, providing the master’s degree was received in the instructional technology field. For students with a master’s degree in a field other than instructional technology, a minimum of 40 credits is required. Doctoral Degree (PhD). The doctor of philosophy degree emphasizes research and theory building in instructional design and development. The degree offers advanced preparation for graduates seeking a career in higher education, research centers, or corporate training and development. Course Requirements. Course requirements for all degrees are dependent upon the area of emphasis and are individually planned by the student and the supervisory committee. For planning materials and program details, contact the department. Financial Assistance. Fellowships, assistantships, and other financial support are available and awarded on a competitive basis.

Objectives

Credit for Intensive English Study

The Intensive English Language Institute (IELI) is an academic program in the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. IELI teaches international students, residents, and refugees the English skills and cultural knowledge they need to be successful university students. IELI also trains international teaching assistants (ITAs) for USU. Information about the ITA training is available through the School of Graduate Studies.

Classes in IELI carry academic credit. Full-time students at each level take 18 credits per semester. A student who begins IELI at level 1 and progresses to level 4 may earn a total of 72 undergraduate elective credits. While all the credits will appear on a student’s transcript, a maximum of 18 can be counted toward graduation. Application of the 18 credits will be determined by the student’s college and major department. Students must, therefore, meet with their departmental advisors to determine the role of IELI credits in their graduation requirements.

The IELI program accepts students seeking a degree at Utah State University, as well as students who want to study English for personal or professional reasons. Students studying English only must meet admission requirements comparable to requirements for undergraduate degree-seeking students.

Area Studies Certificate

Undergraduate students who apply to USU without a TOEFL score of at least 173 computerized or 500 paper/pencil and graduate students applying without a minimum TOEFL score of 213 computerized or 550 paper/pencil must take the IELI Placement Examination, given the first day of each semester, including the first day of the IELI summer session. Based on the examination results, students will be required to study in the IELI or exempted from further study and permitted to take classes in their major fields.

The Intensive English Language Institute administers a College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences area studies certificate in Communicating Across Cultures. This certificate program is designed to prepare students to work and live in the global community. Students, both international and American, gain crosscultural experience within an academic framework by taking language and culture-related classes which broaden and enhance applied cross-cultural experiences. For more information, contact the Intensive English Language Institute.

Curriculum

Services

Four levels of study are offered each semester. The ability levels of classes range from elementary through advanced. Several of the level 1 and 2 classes are combined into multilevel classes. Classes focus on listening, speaking, reading, writing, and cultural skills. In addition, there are topics courses, covering topics ranging from current events and the environment to academic literacy and the cultures of the U.S. through literature and film. Students must complete one topics course for every level they study in the IELI program.

New students in IELI take the Placement Examination and attend an orientation meeting prior to the beginning of each semester. All students are assigned an advisor in IELI who helps them with various difficulties they may encounter. In addition, all the services and privileges offered to students on campus are available to IELI students. These services include health care services, recreational opportunities, and numerous special programs for international students.

Students advance from one level of a class to the next higher level by obtaining a grade of C- or higher in the lower-level class. Students who do not obtain a C- or higher in a class must repeat the class. Students who complete all level 4 classes with a C- or higher may begin taking courses outside of IELI. Students at level 4, who have less than a full course load remaining in IELI, may take major field courses. The total number of IELI credits and major field credits taken during a semester may not exceed 16. Exceptions to this policy must be approved by the director of IELI in consultation with students’ major field advisors.

Undergraduate Programs

4. Develop in students critical thinking and analytical abilities, facility in social science research methods, and strong written and oral communication skills, within a broad liberal arts context.

Objectives

The Department of Journalism and Communication maintains professional studios and labs, designed to train students in various communications and journalism skills. These include the multimedia computer newsroom, a video preproduction studio, a full TV studio, and a photographic darkroom. Students receive instruction in traditional journalistic basics, such as writing, information-gathering, reporting, and video production; in new technologies of on-line information gathering; and in critical skills of media literacy.

The undergraduate major in the Journalism and Communication Department, leading to the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Science degree in Journalism, is designed to prepare students for careers in a wide range of communication fields, through instruction in the philosophical groundings, theoretical perspectives, and hands-on applications of communications skills and practice. The curriculum integrates practical mass communications skills training with critical thinking skills, while helping students to understand the processes and effects of communication, as well as the relationships, roles, and interactions of mass communication with other social institutions. With individual student objectives in mind, the Department of Journalism and Communication offers a flexible program of study having the following goals: 1. Provide students with theoretical and practical understanding of the workings of mass communication principles and practice. 2. Provide students with abilities and practical skills required to work in communications professions. 3. Provide students with a grounding in the philosophical, ethical, and legal frameworks of mass communication, as well as an understanding of the roles and responsibilities of mass communication in a democratic society.

Requirements Course Requirements. Journalism majors must complete a minimum of 30 credits and a maximum of 36 credits in Journalism and Communication courses, while pursuing one of the four emphasis course sequences outlined below. Of the 120 semester credits required for graduation from Utah State University, Journalism majors must complete at least 65 credits in other departments within the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. In addition, majors must complete a minor/cognate area outside of the Journalism and Communication Department, selected with the approval of an advisor. Therefore, the basic Journalism course of study is as follows: Journalism and Communication courses, 30-36 credits; University Studies courses, 30 credits; courses in the minor/cognate area, 18 credits; electives from outside the Journalism and Communication Department, 36-40 credits; Total Credits, 120.

Journalism and Communication 313

Major Status. Students may apply for major status upon completion of a minimum of 60 semester credits, including the Journalism Premajor Core requirements, while maintaining a 2.5 cumulative GPA. Students may declare themselves as Journalism Premajors at any time after their admission to the University. Majors must maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA, both overall and in the major. Students whose GPA drops below 2.5 will be placed on probation and may be dropped from the major if grades do not improve within one semester. No Journalism and Communication class may be repeated more than once. All courses in the major must be taken for a grade (not Pass-Fail). Courses must be taken in sequence.

Careers in Journalism and Communication

Students transferring from other institutions may be accepted into the major if they fulfill these requirements. Up to 9 transferred semester credits may count toward the major, if approved by an advisor. Journalism and Communication Premajor Core Requirements (9 credits). The following courses are required for all majors, and must be completed prior to application for major status: JCom 1000, 1110, and 2000. Prior to taking JCom 1110, students must complete Engl 1010, a language proficiency test, and a typing test. Majors must complete each of the premajor requirements with a C+ or better.

This success translates into an excellent reputation for USU students among businesses hiring USU students as interns and hiring USU graduates for professional positions. Jobs held by recent graduates include newspaper and magazine reporter, photographer, graphic artist, and editor; radio and television reporter, anchor, and producer; public relations director and account executive; multimedia software designer for HTML, web pages, CD-ROMs, etc.; and public information officer for politicians, legislative and lobbying groups, sports teams, and colleges, as well as for environmental organizations and other groups in the business and public sectors. Training and expertise in communication, including writing and reporting, visual literacy, publication layout and design, computer graphics, and on-line applications, prove to be valuable add-on skills for graduates entering a variety of occupations or going on to graduate school and law school.

Major Requirements (6 credits). The following courses are required for all majors after acceptance into the department: JCom 2110, 4000, and 4030. Premajor core and individual course prerequisites must be taken prior to taking these courses. Prior to taking JCom 2110, students must complete JCom 1110 with a grade of C+ or higher. Senior standing is required for enrollment in JCom 4000. Junior standing or permission of the instructor is required for enrollment in JCom 4030. Emphasis Area. Each student must select one of the following emphasis areas: Broadcast and Electronic Media, Media Studies, Print Journalism, or Public Relations/Corporate Communications. Other Communications Electives. In addition to the Pre-major, major, and emphasis area courses listed above, students must select additional electives from courses in the Department of Journalism and Communication, to ensure a total of 30-36 credits completed in the Journalism and Communication Department.

Journalism Minor Students may select a minor of 18 credits in Journalism and Communication courses, including at least 9 credits in upper-division courses, with advisor approval. All minors must take JCom 1110. GPA requirements are the same as those required for majors.

Journalism majors often begin their careers in various media professions, such as newspapers, radio and TV broadcasting, and public relations, many serving as interns while still attending school. Upon graduation, they land jobs in a variety of capacities for both journalism businesses and other industries requiring workers with excellent communication and problem-solving skills. In recent years, USU journalism students have routinely swept state, regional, and national competitions in print and video journalism, multimedia and new technologies, and, increasingly, public relations.

In addition to these kinds of opportunities enjoyed by undergraduates, master’s degree graduates often return to communication careers in new capacities, or teach at the community college level in journalism and communication departments.

Graduate Programs The Master of Science (MS) and the Master of Arts (MA) degrees in Communication combine professional practice and theoretical training, and are designed to fit individual student needs. Students may specialize in broadcast/electronic journalism, media criticism, public relations/corporate communications, or print journalism. Application to the graduate program is made through the USU School of Graduate Studies.

Objectives

Financial Support

The master’s program in Communication at Utah State University offers a two-track approach to graduate study, designed for the maximum individual flexibility in pursuit of the student’s goals.

In addition to general scholarships and other financial support opportunities available through the University and the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, the Department of Journalism and Communication awards various scholarships to juniors, seniors, and graduate students. For a listing of scholarships, deadlines, and application requirements, contact the Department of Journalism and Communication. In addition, many professional paid and unpaid internships are available through the department.

The Plan A, also known as the “Thesis Option” or “Media Research,” is a course of study designed for students considering or planning to go on to a doctoral program. The Plan A option requires more coursework in theory and methodology, as well as in research tools, in order to provide grounding for advanced study at the PhD level, whether in communication or another discipline. This option also requires completion of a master’s thesis, consisting of original research.

314 Journalism and Communication

The Plan B, also known as the “Professional Option” or “Media Practice,” is designed for students seeking the master’s degree as a terminal degree, and planning to go from USU into the mass media professions, or into a teaching position at the junior college level. Typically, Plan B students are mid-career media professionals seeking retooling, refreshers, or credentials for community college teaching. The Plan B option requires a professional project, approved by a major professor, in place of the research thesis. In either case, graduate students in Communication work closely with advisors throughout their programs to design coursework and a research or professional activity agenda, along with appropriate study in a cognate area outside of Communication, that will permit them to achieve their individual goals, within the core framework of Communication coursework, whether they include professional training or additional doctoral work.

Department Objectives

Undergraduate Programs Admission and Graduation Requirements

The objectives of the department are to (1) provide an educational and technical program responsive to current societal needs related to environmental planning, landscape architecture, and urban design; (2) give students the opportunity to participate in collaborative learning experiences with other disciplines on campus; (3) prepare students for professional careers in the private or public sector, and (4) conduct original research to advance the body of knowledge in landscape architecture, environmental planning, and design.

The Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (BLA) degree program is an intensive four-year studio-based course of study, fully accredited by the American Society of Landscape Architects. Accreditation standards require the department to maintain a reasonable faculty/student ratio. Space in the program is limited by available facilities, faculty, and qualified applicants. Admission to the upper division is competitive, and is limited to students who are determined by the faculty to have the best potential for academic success. Matriculation into the upper division will normally be limited to 25 students, although additional students may be ma-

Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning 319

triculated in special circumstances at the discretion of the LAEP faculty. Any student admitted to USU is eligible for enrollment in lower-division LAEP courses. Declared LAEP majors will be advised of their relative class standing at the end of their freshman year and at the mid-point of their sophomore year, to assist in their personal academic career planning. At the end of the sophomore year, a selection process will determine which students will matriculate into the upper division of the program. Eligibility for matriculation requires the completion of the following prerequisite courses: LAEP 1030, 1200, 1350, 2300, 2600, 2650, 2700, 2720; PlSc 2620; and ITE 1200. Students applying for matriculation must have a minimum USU GPA of 2.5. Selection of students to be matriculated to the upper division is based on a letter of intent; a portfolio demonstrating creative potential, problem solving skills, and graphic fluency; and cumulative GPA earned in the eight LAEP prefix courses listed above. Portfolios and letters of intent are to be submitted by the last Monday in March. Detailed information regarding the letter of intent and portfolio requirements may be obtained from the LAEP Office. The final selection of students to matriculate to the upper division is a decision of the LAEP faculty. The review of students for matriculation will take place during the week following spring semester final exams, and students will be notified as soon as possible thereafter. Students who have had LAEP courses waived or covered by articulation from another institution will have their GPA calculated only on the basis of LAEP grades actually earned at USU. Transfer students from other programs of landscape architecture who have completed the equivalent of the lower-division USU LAEP coursework may apply for admission to the upper division of the program through submission of a portfolio, letter of intent, transcript of grades, and description of landscape architecture courses taken. Students who have previously been enrolled and matriculated into the upper division at USU, and must interrupt their education for up to three academic years, may resume their studies at the same level of the program which they departed upon returning to USU. Students who have stopped-out longer than three years must reapply, following the guidelines specified for transfer students. The decision on applications from transfer students and for readmission rests with the LAEP faculty and will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Note: Students eligible for matriculation during spring semesters 2002 and 2003 will be evaluated under the previous policy, as described in the USU 2000-2002 General Catalog. High school students planning to major in landscape architecture may enhance their preparation with courses in art, natural sciences, social sciences, and math through college algebra. Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning BLA Degree. The Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (BLA) degree is a four-year program consisting of courses relating to theory, design, history, and the various technical areas of the profession. The degree provides a substantial basis for a professional career, as well as an excellent foundation for advanced graduate studies. In addition to the courses required for upper-division status, the following LAEP courses are required for graduation: LAEP 3100, 3120, 3300, 3500, 3610, 3700, 4100, 4110, 4120, and 4920. Additional non-LAEP courses required are: Math 1050, ASTE 3050, Geol 3100, AWER 1200 or FRWS 2200, and Soc 3610 or 4620. Students must also complete the University Studies requirements. For more detailed information, see major requirement sheet available from the department.

Specialized Service Courses. LAEP 1030, 1200, 2300, and 3700 are available for majors in other fields who may wish to gain an exposure to the different aspects of landscape architecture and environmental planning. A minor is not given in LAEP; however, these service courses are available, without prerequisites, for those requesting them.

Graduate Programs Admission Requirements The application deadline for consideration in the first round of reviews is March 15. Applications received later than March 15 will be considered as space availability allows. February 1 is the application deadline for consideration for some scholarships, fellowships, and other financial aid. For general admissions requirements, see the appropriate sections of this catalog.

Master of Landscape Architecture The program for the Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) emphasizes both traditional site scale planning and design, as well as broader areas of the profession, such as large-scale regional landscape analysis and planning, and computer-aided design and planning techniques. The MLA first professional degree is fully accredited by the Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board of the American Society of Landscape Architects. The Master of Landscape Architecture program is designed to prepare the student for the landscape architect’s challenging role of providing a holistic approach to environmental planning and design. In order for landscape architects to contribute effectively to an interdisciplinary effort, they must be competent in the fundamentals of landscape architecture and also have an understanding of the subject matter of other professions. Landscape architects must master the communication skills necessary to achieve meaningful collaboration. In support of this philosophy, the following are the major objectives of the MLA program. 1. To provide a well-structured curriculum in fundamental professional knowledge and skills. 2. To research, analyze, and resolve land use and design issues related specifically to the Intermountain West. The scope of the program examines national, regional, and local issues; and their impact on the visual, physical, and cultural setting of the Intermountain West. 3. To integrate field experience and research into major graduate studio courses structured around real-world projects. 4. To provide opportunities for each student for exploration and development of an area of specialization as noted elsewhere. 5. To draw upon the regional, national, and international relationships of Utah State University to facilitate a program of academic and professional excellence which will allow the student to achieve eminence in practice, research, or education. Areas of Faculty Expertise The Master of Landscape Architecture Program provides opportunities for each student to study and conduct research in areas which take advantage of the strengths of Utah State University and the landscape context of the Intermountain West centered around the expertise of the LAEP Department faculty, including: Land Rehabilitation/Revegetation—Ellsworth and Johnson; Regional Landscape Planning—Hanna and Nicholson; Visual Re-

320 Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning

sources Management—Ellsworth; Urban Wildlife/Refuge Planning—Johnson; Riparian Systems—Johnson and Bell; Community Planning—Nicholson, Hanna, and Bell; Public Lands/Recreation—Timmons, Ellsworth, and Budge; Urban Design/Theory—Lavoie; Historic Landscapes and Preservation—Timmons. These areas of faculty expertise include an assessment of the relevant environmental, design, social, economic, and public policy issues utilizing a wide range of computer-compatible techniques and models. Specializations Graduate specializations (MLA) may be designated on a student’s transcript with the approval of the supervisory committee after completion of a Plan A original research thesis. There are currently five specializations: Land Rehabilitation/Revegetation, Small Town Rehabilitation, Urban Wildlife, Visual Resource Management, and Water Resources Management. Course of Study The graduate program director advises all incoming students until they have selected a thesis topic. A major professor whose interests are closely aligned to those of the student (see areas of faculty expertise above) supervises thesis work. A minimum of 30 graduate-level credits, including thesis work, is required. Students supplement requirements with courses negotiated with the major professor and supervisory committee. An outside area of emphasis or graduate specialization (see above) may be pursued by concentrating elective coursework in another department. The department offers two MLA programs. One is for students who have previously earned baccalaureate degrees in landscape architecture from accredited programs and the other is for students with degrees from other fields. MLA—Advanced Professional Degree The MLA—Advanced Professional Degree is a two-year program of study. Applicants must hold baccalaureate degrees in landscape architecture from accredited programs. The advanced degree allows outstanding students to expand their knowledge in areas of special interest under the supervision of a major professor and supervisory committee. For information about currently required and recommended coursework, as well as other requirements for this degree, contact the LAEP Department.

This program consists of a two-year period of study with a required thesis or paper/project. To maintain a program focus, the student selects from three clusters of coursework (research methods/case studies, landscape ecology, and natural resource policy). A minimum of 33 graduate-level credits, including 3-6 credits of thesis or paper/project is required. An interdisciplinary capstone sequence is required. The program contains a total of nine elective credits from which the candidate and his or her committee can formulate an area of specialization.

Course of Study This two-year MS program is comprised of an interdisciplinary core of courses and faculty for addressing complex issues in the areas of bioregional planning and management. Emphasis is placed on four problematic content areas: biophysical, social/demographic, economic, and public policy. The spatial focus is on the planning for large landscape areas with dispersed populations with a primary economic base in agriculture, energy development, tourism/recreation, retirement communities, and natural resources. The program requires a minimum of 33 graduate-level credits, including 3-6 credits of work on a thesis or paper/project. Nine of the required credits may be in an area of specialization within the candidate’s home department. These nine credits are to be negotiated with the candidate’s major professor and supervisory committee. Requirements for the MS in Bioregional Planning are as follows: Research Methods (3-4 credits). One of the following courses is required: FRWS 6500, Soc 6100, 6150. Ecology (3-4 credits). One of the following courses is required: FRWS 5400, 5610, 6710, AWER 6750. For those students without a background in ecology, Biol 2220 (General Ecology) or equivalent is also required. Credits earned for Biol 2220 or equivalent do not apply to the graduate program. Public Policy (7 credits). One of the following courses is required: EnvS 6000, PolS 5180, Soc 6630, Econ 5560 or 6500. Also, the following two courses are required for all students: LAEP 6900 (Special Problems: NEPA/GIS) and FRWS 6900 (Special Topics: GIS). Capstone Sequence (8 credits). The following courses are required for all students: LAEP 6100, 6740.

Undergraduate Programs Mission Statement The Department of Languages and Philosophy offers programs in modern languages and literature, philosophy, and speech communication. While these programs differ widely in their curricula, they are bound together by two considerations: (1) an emphasis on humanistic content and method of inquiry; and (2) a recognition on the part of the departmental faculty that a critical part of becoming an educated person lies in achieving a greater understanding of one’s self and of others, an understanding opened up through insight into the spoken and written word. Courses offered by the department provide majors and minors with opportunities to achieve this understanding by increasing their communicative, logical, interpretive, linguistic and research skills; their ability to function within an increasingly globalized society; and their awareness of ethical, aesthetic, and other values. Courses offered by the department also give teaching majors and

minors the opportunity to serve the needs of the education professions. Through its participation in the University Studies program, the department provides all students with an opportunity to gain knowledge of how people come to understand themselves through their cultural, literary, and philosophical achievements. The department also furthers the education of both traditional and nontraditional students through faculty participation in interdisciplinary programs such as Honors, Liberal Arts and Sciences, Asian Studies, and Women and Gender Studies; and in cooperative education, distance learning, extension, and study-abroad programs.

Admission Requirements Admission requirements for freshmen desiring entrance to major programs offered by the Department of Languages and Philosophy are the same as those for Utah State University (see pages 48-51). Transfer students from other institutions and from other majors within Utah State University must have an overall mini-

Languages

All students majoring in programs offered by this department must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.5 in their major (2.75 in Spanish) to be in good standing in the department and to obtain official approval for graduation.

Language faculty members in the Department of Languages and Philosophy teach courses leading to undergraduate degrees in French, German, and Spanish, as well as to undergraduate minors in Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. Teaching majors and minors are also offered in French, German, and Spanish. The department also offers a minor program in Linguistics.

Career Information The Department of Languages and Philosophy maintains a resource center in the departmental office (Main 204) containing general information about graduate schools and nonacademic careers in modern languages, philosophy, and speech communication. Students are invited to use this resource center during office hours. Languages and Philosophy

Scholarship Information Three scholarships are offered through the Department of Languages and Philosophy. The Carl T. Degener Memorial Scholarship is awarded to an outstanding language major at the junior level. Outstanding upper-division students in French (and under some circumstances Spanish) are eligible for the Jean Inness Scholarship. The Thain Scholarship is awarded to an outstanding high school senior enrolling in a language or philosophy course at USU. For more details, contact the department office.

Graduate Program Master of Second Language Teaching (MSLT) The Master of Second Language Teaching (MSLT) degree program is designed for students desiring additional training at the graduate level in an integrative, interdisciplinary program combining coursework in the field of Foreign Language Education, Bilingual Education, and ESL/EFL Education. Attainment of the degree requires the completion of a minimum of 30 credits of coursework in the MSLT program. The program leading to the MSLT consists of a core curriculum of 18 credits and a professional curriculum of 12 credits. Courses in the core curriculum are designed to respond to the program’s emphasis areas in language, literacy, and culture. Courses in the professional curriculum address teaching methodology, curriculum preparation, materials development, and testing. A Master’s Project in the form of a substantial cumulative Master’s Portfolio is also required. The Master’s Portfolio will include a comprehensive statement of the candidate’s philosophy of second language teaching and learning and how this philosophy will be applied in a professional environment. This project will be defended at the end of the degree program. All candidates must take a research course in the professional curriculum designed to aid in preparing the Portfolio Project. This master’s degree program does not lead to licensure by the Utah State Board of Education. Individuals who do not have Utah State Board of Education licensure and wish to obtain that credential must take the three-semester Secondary Teacher Education Program (STEP) in the College of Education.

French, German, and Spanish Major Programs. The goal of the French, German, and Spanish BA degree programs is to prepare students to be able to take advanced studies in these languages, literatures, and cultures; to be quality teachers of these languages, literatures, and cultures in the public schools; and to provide those who may enter other professions a solid grounding in these languages, literatures, and cultures, in order that they may function as members of the international community. The curricula supporting these goals includes courses in language, literature, civilization, culture, and linguistics. See the course requirements which follow.

Proficiency Tests and Placement in Language Courses. Students who have completed one or more years of language study in high school may take proficiency tests to determine their proper placement in language courses offered by the department. Credit by Special Examination.

This course needs to be completed with a grade of B or better. In Spanish, these credits must be obtained by taking a placement test. To receive all 16 credits in Spanish, students must pass the test with a score of 500 or better. These credits will count as transfer credits. They will not count toward semester or USU GPA, but will be counted into the cumulative GPA.

Philosophy Philosophy at USU reflects the ideals of the liberal arts in encouraging the respect for truth without promoting dogmatism, and in offering the opportunity for students to increase their self-understanding at the same time as they increase their knowledge of the world around them. Philosophy faculty in the Department of Languages and Philosophy teach courses leading to an undergraduate major and a minor in philosophy. The mission of the Philosophy program at Utah State University is to provide a high-quality education leading to an understanding of the major areas of inquiry represented within the discipline of philosophy. Coursework emphasizes the areas of the history of philosophy, logic, ethical theory and applied ethics, and metaphysics and epistemology. The curriculum is designed to meet a wide variety of student interests in pursuing a major in philosophy. It provides a rigorous foundation for students intending to further their education in law school or graduate school in philosophy, and it also provides an exciting and challenging education for those students who enjoy thinking about ideas for their own sake. Coursework is also designed to enrich the education of students majoring in other subjects, by providing them with opportunities to gain an understanding of philosophical perspectives on and philosophical foundations of their chosen fields.

Speech Communication Speech Communication has been taught continuously at USU almost from the University’s founding in 1888. Speech Communication faculty in the Department of Languages and Philosophy teach courses leading to a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree in Speech, as well as to minors in Organizational Communication and Speech Communication Teaching. The speech major emphasizes organizational communication. Organizational communication is the study of how communication creates organizations and of how organizations shape communication. Coursework in the program addresses the theories and analytical skills enabling students to identify common communication problems arising in organizational contexts and to develop appropriate communication policies and practices. The program also teaches important aspects of intercultural and interpersonal communication theory. Students majoring in speech are encouraged to earn a BA degree by completing two years of study in a foreign language. This broadens cultural and social awareness and can increase one’s understanding of the nature of language in general.

Admission to the speech major will be limited to 25 students each year. Admission decisions will be based on (1) academic record, (2) realistic career or professional study objective, (3) ability of this program to prepare the student for intended career, (4) satisfactory speaking and writing competencies, and (5) motivation and creativity demonstrated by class performance, work experience, volunteer activities, and other means offered by the student during the application process. Students not admitted may apply the following year. If not admitted on the second application, the student will be permitted to complete a minor, but will not be considered again for the major. To obtain guidelines for applying to the speech major, contact the Department of Languages and Philosophy. The minor program in Organizational Communication is designed for students who seek communication and human relations competencies, an understanding of human communication behavior, and the critical thinking skills required for success in a variety of careers. The course of study leading to a minor in Speech Communication Teaching is designed to develop the communication competencies and the understanding of communication processes and theory necessary for effective high school speech communication instruction. Prior to student teaching, the program features practicum experience in which students learn how to critique and coach speech communication students.

Undergraduate Programs Objectives The programs in the Department of Management and Human Resources are designed to prepare students for administrative and leadership positions in business, government, and other institutions. Specialized training is provided in Management and Human Resource Management, as well as training directed at understanding the broader aspects of business as it functions within a national and international environment. The study of management is approached from an organizational leadership framework.

Management deals with the skills and attributes of organizational leadership. These include the ability to critically assess issues currently facing oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organization or unit; the ability to develop a vision for the organization and translate it into a mission, objectives, and strategies; and the ability to accomplish these through the acquisition and allocation of resources, and organizing, leading, and empowering people. Human Resource Management deals with those processes which provide, develop, and maintain a productive workforce. Subject areas include recruiting employees, determining what tasks need to be performed, placing the right person in the right position, determining fair benefits and compensation, evaluating

Transfer students and others desiring to be admitted to advanced standing in the Department of Management and Human Resources must meet the prespecialization requirements stated below. Prespecialization. For approximately the first two years, a student will be identified with the College of Business Prespecialization Registration Unit. The basic objective of this portion of the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studies is to provide a broad and sound educational foundation upon which to build a specialized education relating to business. All students at the University are required to satisfy the University Studies requirements of the University as described on pages 56-63 of this catalog. Additional requirements for Management and Human Resources majors consist of two basic components. 1. College of Business Prespecialization Core. The following courses are required: MHR 1000, 2990; Acct 2010, 2020; BIS 2450, 2550; Econ 1500, 2010; Math 1050, 1100; Stat 2300; and Psy 1010 or Soc 1010. 2.

Many of the courses in the College of Business require prerequisites. Before registering for courses within the College of Business, students should consult with their advisor or refer to the current General Catalog to ensure they have completed the necessary prerequisites. Advanced Standing. The objective of the advanced standing portion of the program is to provide sufficient specialized business training to prepare the student to successfully enter the business world in a chosen field of interest. The program is also directed at providing the type of business education that develops the attitudes, analytical ability, and the social conscience required for future professional advancement. Students are required to achieve unconditional advanced standing to be admitted to the Department of Management and Human Resources. Until they have attained unconditional advanced standing, students are not allowed to take 4000-level courses. The requirements for attaining unconditional advanced standing in the Department of Management and Human Resources are as follows: 1. Students must have completed a minimum of 53 credits and must have earned an overall grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.50 for all the hours of study taken up to the time the petition for advanced standing is made. This will include all transfer credits. 2. Students must have completed the prespecialization requirements for both the College of Business and the Department of Management and Human Resources, as indicated above, and must have earned a GPA of 2.50 or above in these courses. (Some courses may have prerequisites, and students would be expected to satisfy the course prerequisites as well.) 3. File a request for advanced standing with the College of Business Student Service Center, Business 308. It is strongly recommended that each student make the transition from prespecialization in the college to unconditional advanced standing in the Department of Management and Human Resources as soon as possible after having met the 53-credit requirement. Departmental Core for Both Undergraduate Majors. During the initial portion of the Management and Human Resources upper-division programs, all degree seeking students will be required to take the following core classes, which are designed to provide a broad background in the various areas of business: BA 3400, 3500, 3700; Econ 3400; MHR 3110, 3250, 3710, 3820, 4630; MHR 48801 or 48901. 1MHR 4880 and 4890 are both capstone courses, and should not be taken until near the end of the senior year.

Human Resources Management Specialization in the Master of Social Sciences (MSS) The MSS is an interdisciplinary degree involving social science courses designed to provide breadth in content and the perspective of the social and work environment in which people operate (see pages 424-425). This degree is available only through Continuing Education. The Human Resources Management specialization deals with those processes which provide, develop, and maintain a productive work force. Subject areas include human resource planning, recruiting, selection, placement, benefits and compensation, performance management, career planning, training and development, labor/management relations, and ethical/legal employment practices. A dynamic and changing work environment within an increasingly complex social environment provides unique challenges and opportunities for students in this discipline. One focus of this degree is to prepare students for professional certification by the Human Resource Certification Institute. The program advisor of the graduate program has information on the institute and its accreditation designations. This program is open to students with a variety of undergraduate majors. However, students who have specialized in human resources at the undergraduate level should see the program director for advisement. Students are expected to be admitted to the program as matriculated students before taking coursework leading to the degree. Degree Requirements. Students are held responsible for meeting requirements as outlined in this catalog. Requirements specific to this degree are outlined below. It is the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility to be aware of all requirements and initiate the resolution of apparent inconsistencies. The typical degree option is Plan C, which includes coursework to meet the degree requirements. The student should consult with the MSS/HRM Program Director if the Plan B option is being considered. A minimum of 36 semester credits is required for the degree. Under Plan C, no thesis credit is allowed. The required core courses include a capstone course which meets the requirement of a Plan C culminating experience. A maximum of three credits may be earned either from readings/conferences or from independent research. A maximum of three supervised internship credits is also permitted. Eighteen (18) credits are taken from the MHR Department and must be approved by the Graduate Program Director. In addition, a minimum of 6 credits in each of two coop-

Undergraduate Programs

Placement of New Students

Objectives

The mathematics ACT score, on-campus placement tests, and Advanced Placement (AP) calculus and statistics scores are used for placement in 1000-level and 2000-level mathematics and statistics courses. New students and students who are registering for a math class at USU for the first time should have a math ACT score of at least 18 to register for Math 1010 (Intermediate Algebra), a score of at least 19 to register for Stat 1040, and a score of at least 23 to register for Math 1030 (Quantitative Reasoning), Math 1050 (College Algebra), and Math 1060 (Trigonometry).

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers a variety of programs and courses designed to prepare students for careers in teaching and for positions as mathematicians and statisticians in industry and government. The department also provides service courses for students in many other disciplines and contributes to the University Studies program by providing Quantitative Literacy and Quantitative Intensive classes.

Mathematics and Statistics 343

The alternative to this is to take a placement examination in the Testing Services Office, University Inn 115. A student who has already taken a math class at USU may register for the next higher numbered course, providing he or she received a grade of C- or better in the prerequisite course. Equivalent transfer courses must also have a C- or better grade. Entering students with math ACT scores of less than 18 should register for Math 0900 (Elements of Algebra) or take the placement examination to qualify for a higher-level course. The placement exam requires a small fee. Mathematics and Statistics A math ACT score of at least 27 is needed to begin in Math 1100 or 1210.

College of Science Requirements Every bachelor’s degree candidate in the College of Science must complete the following coursework or its equivalent: 1. One year of calculus: Math 1210 and 1220. In some degrees or emphases within degrees, the second semester of calculus may be replaced by Stat 3000. The substitution will be for specific degree programs, not by student choice. 2. One of the following year-long sequences: Biol 1210, 1220; Chem 1210, 1220; Geol 1150, 3200; Phyx 2110, 2120; Phyx 2210, 2220. The chosen sequence must be outside the student’s major department.

Entering students with passing scores on AP calculus or statistics exams will be given 8 semester credits in mathematics for passing either one of the calculus exams, and 4 semester credits for passing the statistics exam. Usually at least part of this credit will be for specific USU courses. Students with an AP calculus AB score of 3 will generally be advised to start in Math 1210 (Calculus I). Students with a score of 4 or 5 on the calculus AB exam or a score of 3 or 4 on the calculus BC exam will be given credit for Math 1210, and will be advised to begin in Math 1220 (Calculus II). Students with a score of 5 on the calculus BC exam will be given credit for Math 1210 and 1220, and advised to begin in Math 2210 (Multivariable Calculus). Students with a score of 3 or higher on the AP statistics exam will be given credit for Stat 2000. Students may also take a placement test in the USU Testing Center to determine if Math 1100 (Calculus Techniques) or Math 1210 (Calculus I) is an appropriate place to start.

Major and minor requirements in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics vary from time to time. Students may obtain from the department information about the exact requirements in effect at any given time. Major and minor requirements in effect at the beginning of Fall Semester 2002 are given below.

The calculus courses Math 1210, 1220, and 2210 are designed for students in mathematics, the sciences, and engineering. Math 1100 (Calculus Techniques) is designed primarily for students in business and a few other majors. All students in calculus classes need strong backgrounds in the material covered in Math 1010 and Math 1050. In addition, the Math 1210, 1220, 2210 sequence requires trigonometry (Math 1060) and a graphics calculator.

Mathematics Major. Math 1210, 1220, 2210, 2270, 2280, 4200, 4310, 5210, and 5710; any two courses (6 credits) from Math 5110, 5220, 5270, 5310, and 5510; any three additional courses (9 credits) in mathematics at the 5000-level, excluding Actuarial Mathematics (Math 5570, 5580). Note: Math 2250 may substitute for both Math 2270 and 2280; however, Math 2270 and 2280 are recommended.

Admission to the STEP requires a GPA of at least 3.00 in the equivalent of Math 1210, 1220, and 2210, and an overall GPA of at least 2.75. Graduation from this major also requires an overall GPA of at least 2.75. No more than three repeats in all required courses may be used in GPA computations. The STEP is normally completed during the last three semesters of the degree program, and consequently nearly all the mathematics classes in the Mathematics Education Major must be completed before beginning the STEP.

Departmental Admission Requirements 1. New freshmen admitted to USU in good standing qualify for admission to the major. 2. Transfer students from other institutions need a 2.2 transfer GPA, and students transferring from other USU majors need a 2.0 total GPA for admission to this major in good standing. 3. Students may be admitted to the Mathematics Education major by satisfying either of the above conditions. However, in order to be admitted to the Secondary Teacher Education Program (STEP), and to graduate from the Mathematics Education major (and minor), students must have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 in the equivalent of Math 1210, 1220, and 2210, and an overall GPA of at least 2.75.

University Requirements All students in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics must satisfy the requirements of USU’s University Studies program, described on pages 56-63 of this catalog.

Course Requirements Departmental requirements change from time to time. Check with the Department of Mathematics and Statistics for the list of requirements currently in effect. The requirements listed below are in effect for Fall Semester 2002.

Master of Science in Mathematics. This degree requires 30 credits of approved coursework at or above the 5000 level. At least 18 of these credits must be at the 6000 level or above, excluding Math 6990 and 7990 (Continuing Graduate Advisement) and Math 7910 (College Teaching Internship). Generally, most of the coursework will be in mathematics, but the student’s supervisory committee may approve courses in statistics, physics, engineering, or any other discipline, if it seems such coursework is appropriate for the student’s program of study. The MS in mathematics has three options. The Plan A or the thesis option requires taking 6 credits of Math 6970 (Thesis and Research) and working with a faculty member on a substantial research project. The research must be presented in a thesis, which must be approved by the student’s supervisory committee and the dean of the School of Graduate Studies. An oral defense of the thesis must be arranged through the School of Graduate Studies. The Plan B or project option requires taking 3 credits of Math 6970 and working with a faculty member on a smaller research project. A written report of the research must be approved by the student’s supervisory committee. An oral defense of the report must be scheduled through the School of Graduate Studies. The third option of the MS in Mathematics requires only coursework, and is called the Plan C option.

346 Mathematics and Statistics

All students in the MS program in Mathematics must pass a written qualifying examination covering the introductory analysis and advanced calculus material presented in Math 4200, 5210, and 5220. Students may take this exam before beginning formal coursework in the MS program, and must take the exam at the end of the first full year of matriculation. The exam is typically given twice a year, in May and September. Matriculated students who fail on their first try must pass the exam at the next scheduled opportunity. A detailed exam syllabus is contained in the Graduate Handbook, available from the department.

quirements), or the Statistics qualifying examination (see the Master of Science in Statistics examination requirements), or an examination based on material presented in four core courses chosen by the student during the first year. The exam, which can be taken before or at the beginning of the student’s second year in the program, is usually given in late May or early August. Students are also required to complete a final project based on work done during an internship, either with a company or possibly with another department on campus. The project will include a technical write-up suitable to the industry/field, and presentation to the involved faculty and students in the program. This follows the Plan B option listed for the Master of Science in Mathematics degree.

Master of Science in Statistics. This degree requires 30 credits of approved coursework at or above the 5000 level. At least 18 credits must be at the 6000 level or above, excluding Stat 6990 and Stat 7990 (Continuing Graduate Advisement). All students must take Stat 6710 and 6720 (Mathematical Statistics I and II). Generally, most of the coursework will be in statistics, but the student’s supervisory committee may approve courses in mathematics, biology, economics, or any other discipline if it deems such coursework to be appropriate for the student’s program of study.

The Departmental Graduate Committee supervises all MS and MMath students until a supervisory committee for the student is established and approved. Prior to advancement to candidacy, students in Plan A and Plan B options for the MS degree in mathematics and statistics must pass an examination in English writing. This exam is administered by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics.

The MS in statistics has Plan A (thesis), Plan B (report), and Plan C (coursework only) options. The Plan A and Plan B options require students to work with a faculty member on a research project, taking 6 or 3 credits of Math 6970, respectively, and presenting the results of the research in a written report. For both the Plan A and Plan B options, the report must be approved by the student’s supervisory committee. A Plan A report (thesis) must also be approved by the dean of the School of Graduate Studies. Both Plan A and Plan B reports require an oral defense that must be scheduled through the School of Graduate Studies.

PhD in Mathematical Sciences. In all the doctoral specializations, a course of study consists of 90 credits beyond a bachelor’s degree or 60 credits beyond a master’s degree. The minimal course requirements described below assume that the student needs 90 credits. In all specializations, credit may be earned toward a master’s degree, as part of the 42 required credits (see below), but coursework cannot be applied to two degrees. The complete course of study must be approved by the student’s supervisory committee.

Students in all three options of the MS in Statistics must pass a written qualifying examination based on the material presented in Stat 3000 (Statistics for Scientists), Math 5710 (Introduction to Probability), and Math 5720 (Introduction to Mathematical Statistics).

354 Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

Options for Undergraduate Study The Mechanical Engineering BS degree provides the broadest background of any discipline in the field of engineering. Mechanical Engineering graduates are prepared to pursue careers in such widely diverse industries as aerospace, agricultural equipment, automotive, biotechnical, chemical processing, composite materials, computer equipment, defense, electrical utilities, food processing, industrial equipment, manufacturing, materials processing, nuclear, petroleum, robotics, and solar energy. Most Mechanical Engineering graduates are prepared for graduate studies and enhanced career prospects in engineering or other areas, such as consulting, law, medicine, business management, or teaching. In addition, students who are preparing to apply for admission to medical school will find that Mechanical Engineering provides an excellent foundation for the increasingly technology-oriented field of medicine. The Aerospace Engineering emphasis within the Mechanical Engineering BS degree serves to focus mechanical engineering fundamentals on the mechanics and dynamics of both flight within the atmosphere and space flight. Included within its scope are studies in aerodynamics, aircraft flight dynamics and control, aircraft design, spacecraft orbital mechanics, spacecraft attitude motion and control, and space systems design. Graduates who complete the aerospace engineering emphasis are prepared to pursue careers in aircraft design and development, aircraft flight testing, spacecraft and space systems design, and spacecraft trajectory design and analysis. As fully qualified Mechanical Engineers, graduates with the aerospace engineering emphasis are also well-prepared to pursue graduate studies or careers in the industries listed above under Mechanical Engineering. The Manufacturing Engineering BS degree prepares students to be proficient in the fundamentals of engineering, as well as in materials and manufacturing processes; process, assembly, and product engineering; manufacturing competitiveness; manufacturing systems design; and laboratory experience. Graduates will understand the behavior and properties of materials as they are altered and influenced by processing in manufacturing; the design of products and the equipment, tooling, and environment necessary for their manufacture; the creation of competitive advantage through manufacturing planning, strategy, and control; the analysis, synthesis, and control of manufacturing operations using statistical and calculus based methods; and how to measure manufacturing process variables and make technical inferences about the process. Graduates will have the necessary background to pass the Certified Manufacturing Technologist and Certified Manufacturing Engineer exams. Graduates who complete the Manufacturing Engineering degree are prepared to pursue graduate studies or careers in any industry that manufactures a product. For example, the aerospace, automotive, electronics, machine tool, petroleum, and electronics industries all employ manufacturing engineers as product designers, process designers and managers, maintenance engineers, and quality control engineers. The first two years of the MAE curriculum are structured to concentrate on the fundamentals of mathematics, chemistry, physics, computer science, and basic engineering science. During the second two years, students apply these fundamentals to more concentrated courses in the essentials of mechanical, aerospace, and/or manufacturing engineering. Laboratory activities and computer usage are integrated throughout the curriculum to give students opportunities for hands-on exposure to modern computer hardware and software, as well as other modern hardware and laboratory facilities. Engineering design activities begin during the

first two years and progress in depth as the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proficiency increases. The engineering design experience culminates in a capstone senior design course, integrating the engineering coursework into a focused, realistic design project. Both the Mechanical Engineering and the Manufacturing Engineering programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (EAC/ABET). The Aerospace Engineering emphasis is included within the Mechanical Engineering degree.

Admission and Graduation Requirements Freshman and transfer students must satisfy the admission policies and entrance requirements of both the University and the College of Engineering. Each new student will be assigned an advisor, who will help plan an educational program fulfilling the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s professional goals. Placement of incoming students will depend on high school and/or prior college coursework. Those who complete a portion of the University Studies requirements by examination (CLEP) and/or by advanced placement (AP) credit may complete the requirements for a Bachelor of Science degree in less than four years. Curriculum. At the beginning of each school year, each student should obtain a detailed, four-year requirement sheet. This sheet, which lists semester requirements for each of the three curricula (mechanical, manufacturing, and aerospace), may be obtained from the departmental office. All students in the department follow the preprofessional engineering curriculum for the freshman and sophomore years. Prior to the junior year, the student must apply for admission to the professional program and, in consultation with the faculty advisor, select an area of emphasis. Students who are unable to take courses during the semester indicated on the curriculum requirement sheet may develop alternative schedules, consistent with prerequisites and the timing of course offerings. GPA Requirement. A 2.3 GPA in all technical courses is the minimum standard which preprofessional students must attain in order to be considered for admission to any MAE professional program. A 2.0 overall GPA is required to be considered for graduation from any undergraduate program in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department. Course Requirements. The specific course requirements for the MAE preprofessional program and the MAE professional programs are quite extensive and may occasionally change. For these reasons, the complete requirements are not listed here. For more information, contact the department or send an Internet e-mail request to jpsmith@mae.usu.edu. A passing grade on the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam, the first step in becoming a licensed professional engineer, is required for graduation. Past experience has shown that the USU Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering students are well-prepared for this locally administered, national exam. For additional information on academic requirements, see the College of Engineering (pages 89-93) and the Undergraduate Graduation Requirements (pages 53-55) sections of this catalog.

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering 355

Financial Support Scholarships, assistantships, grants-in-aid, and work-study programs are available to undergraduate students through the University. In addition, the MAE department employs undergraduates to assist in engineering research and development. Aerodynamics, design of instrumentation and payloads for the upper atmosphere and space, buried structures, and manufacturing processes and controls are some of the research programs that involve undergraduate students. Cooperative education and industrial employment opportunities for students are coordinated by the University Placement Office.

Graduate Programs Admission Requirements All students intending to pursue graduate studies at Utah State University must complete and return an Application for Admission to the School of Graduate Studies. In addition to the general graduate admission requirements listed on pages 72-73, the department requires all graduate applicants to have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline. A minimum GPA of 3.0 for MS applicants and 3.3 for PhD applicants is required for the last 60 semester or 90 quarter credits earned. All MAE graduate students are expected to be well-acquainted with either the FORTRAN or C programming language. Those students who do not have a BS degree in an appropriate engineering discipline may be admitted with nonmatriculated status and required to complete some remedial requirements.

Undergraduate Programs Objectives Military Science (Army ROTC) focuses on leadership development. Students pursue the major of their choice while studying Military Science, and graduate with the ability to function effectively as leaders. Upon completion of Army ROTC and graduation from college, students become commissioned officers in the active Army, Army Reserve, or National Guard. Instructors, textbooks, uniforms, and equipment are provided at no cost to the student or the University. All contracted students receive between $250-400 per month (up to 10 months per academic year). Army ROTC also covers the cost of tuition and fees for Army ROTC scholarship students and provides a $800-per-year book allowance.

The Margin of Difference Army ROTC cadets learn to be leaders and receive hands-on experience in managing physical, financial, and human resources. They develop self-confidence and superior decision-making skills. Employers value these leadership qualities and recognize associated potential.

Advanced course requirements are normally completed during the junior and senior years. The advanced course further develops and refines leadership competencies, and qualifies the student for a commission in the United States Army. Advanced course students receive a $300-400 per month tax-free subsistence allowance (up to $3,000-4,000 per year), and attend a paid five-week leader development camp between their junior and senior years.

Two-Year Program This is a special program for junior and community college transfer students or for students who did not take Army ROTC during their first two years of college. To enter the two-year program, a student must have completed Basic Training in a military service or participate in five weeks of basic leadership instruction. This instruction usually takes place between the sophomore and junior year. Students are paid for attending this instruction, have the opportunity to compete for two-year scholarships, and may receive academic credit. Students who qualify for the two-year program are enrolled directly in the advanced course.

Scholarships Four-Year Program The traditional Army ROTC program covers four years consistent with normal undergraduate progression (freshman-senior). The four-year program is divided into two parts: the basic course and the advanced course. The basic course is usually taken during the first two years of college. It covers subjects such as mountaineering, land navigation, wilderness survival, leadership development, small unit tactics, weapons marksmanship, and military history. This program is designed for high-performing students who wish to try Military Science without obligation, while enhancing their leadership skills and self-confidence. Upon successful completion of the basic course, students are eligible to enter the advanced course.

Army ROTC provides numerous scholarship opportunities. About 55 percent of USU Army ROTC students generally receive scholarships. High school seniors may qualify for the four-year Army ROTC scholarship. College students may qualify for three- or two-year scholarships. These scholarships pay the cost of tuition and fees, a flat rate for textbooks and classroom supplies, and a monthly cash stipend between $2,500-4,000 per year. The Green to Gold scholarship allows soldiers serving on active duty to leave the Army early and attend college/ROTC full time while receiving scholarship benefits. Other scholarship opportunities include: room and book grants and the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) program. Call or visit the Department of Military Science for details.

Graduate Program Description The Natural Resource and Environmental Policy Certificate is designed to prepare resource and environmental professionals to meet current public policy challenges. Many of the problems confronting natural resource and environmental managers are social, as well as technical, in nature. Public involvement in decision making, equity concerns, and conflict management is becoming a critical issue. Resource professionals are increasingly challenged to design management strategies and public policies that maximize human well-being, environmental quality, and ecological integrity. The policy certificate is an interdisciplinary program to train students for careers in government, education, consulting, and conservation. The Certificate Program provides students with a comprehensive educational framework for understanding complex natural re-

source and environmental concerns and to develop the critical thinking and analytical skills needed to address these issues. Students develop familiarity with both disciplinary and interdisciplinary concepts and principles of the social, natural, and physical science approaches to natural resource policy. Students engage in educational activities and thesis projects designed to apply this training to current policy issues. The primary objective is to prepare students to develop innovative, creative, and feasible natural resource and environmental policies and management strategies.

All eight colleges, as well as sixteen departments, at Utah State University participate in the Natural Resource and Environmental Policy Program and are represented on the Policy Program Advisory Committee.

Certificate

Graduate Committee

Students who complete the Policy Program receive a certificate in Natural Resource and Environmental Policy. Notification of this certificate appears on the student’s transcript.

The student’s graduate committee must include one faculty member affiliated with the Policy Program to advise the student on meeting the program requirements and in selecting core courses.

Course Requirements Admission Requirements Admission to the Certificate Program is open to students accepted into a Plan A (thesis) master’s degree program or a doctoral degree program at Utah State University who have satisfied the prerequisites outlined in the next paragraph. Admission is also available for students accepted into Plan B or Plan C master’s degree programs, provided their degree program requirements include development of a written research paper or project report that will be presented to and defended before the student’s graduate committee. In all cases, the thesis, research report, or dissertation must contain a significant component addressing natural resource or environmental policy dimensions of the research. Natural Resource and Environmental Policy Prerequisites for acceptance into the Natural Resource and Environmental Policy Graduate Certificate Program are (1) undergraduate or other experience in the natural and social sciences; and/or (2) demonstrated understanding of general ecological principles, earth processes, and social systems. A standing Admissions Subcommittee of the Policy Program Advisory Committee reviews graduate student requests for admission to the program to determine whether prerequisites have been met. To meet the natural sciences prerequisite, students must have taken an upper-division course focusing on the operation of natural systems, such as a course in ecology, biological systems, ecosystem management, or earth processes. Professional experience equivalent to such a course is also considered as having met the natural sciences prerequisite. Students without sufficient natural science backgrounds are required to take an equivalent course at USU to fulfill the prerequisites prior to certificate coursework. Students should contact the Natural Resource and Environmental Policy Program office for a current list of suggested courses. To meet the social sciences prerequisite, students must have taken an upper-division course focusing on the operation of social systems, such as a course from the fields of economics, political science, sociology, or anthropology. Professional experience equivalent to such a course may also be considered as having met the social sciences prerequisite. Students should contact the Natural Resource and Environmental Policy Program office for a current list of suggested courses.

The Graduate Certificate Program draws on a variety of courses to provide an integrated, interdisciplinary program. An integrative cornerstone seminar offered every other year as a team-taught course (NR 6430, Natural Resource and Environmental Policy Cornerstone Seminar), is normally taken in the student’s first year. Students are expected to take at least nine credits from the core policy courses listed below to gain perspective on different disciplinary approaches to natural resource policy. Another program activity is the Natural Resource and Environmental Policy Seminar, NR 6440, which features invited speakers and must be attended by students for credit. In another required seminar, NR 6450, graduating students make a presentation on the policy dimensions of their thesis or dissertation. The following are the Natural Resource and Environmental Policy Certificate core courses: ASTE 6260, Environmental Impacts of Agricultural Systems; BA 6540, ST: Sustainable Marketing; Econ 6500, Introduction to Natural Resource and Environmental Economics; Econ 6510, Applied Resource and Environmental Economics; EnvS 5300, Natural Resources Law and Policy; EnvS 6000, Human Dimensions in Natural Resources Graduate Seminar; EnvS 6530, Natural Resources Administration; NR 6420, Stegner Center Annual Symposium; EnvS 6110, Fisheries and Wildlife Policy and Administration; EnvS 6350, Wildlife Damage Management Policy; EnvS 6900, ST: Natural Resources Partnerships; AWER 6330, Large River Management; EnvS 6550, Environment, Resources, and Development Policy; Hist 6460, Seminar in Environmental History; LAEP 6900, Special Problems: NEPA Course; PolS 5180, Natural Resource Policy; PolS 5200, Global Environment; EnvS 6130, Policy Aspects of Wildland Recreation; FRWS 5150, Conflict Management in Natural Resources; FRWS 6900, ST: Restoration and Rehabilitation Economics; Soc 6620, Environment, Technology, and Social Change; Soc 6630, Natural Resources and Social Development; Soc 7620, Sociology of Environmental Hazards and Risks; Spch 5000, Studies in Speech Communication: Protest and the Environment; EnvS 5320, Water Law and Policy in the United States. Other courses may be included in the list of core courses by action of the Policy Program Faculty Advisory Committee.

Undergraduate Programs

6. to provide opportunities for students to sharpen their communication and interpersonal skills, and

Objectives

7. to develop new tools and texts to improve physics pedagogy.

The Physics Department embraces undergraduate students from all quarters of the University—in introductory courses required for majors by various departments, in courses for more general audiences that are part of the University Studies Program, and in upper-level courses designed primarily to fulfill bachelor’s degree requirements in Physics. These courses, and the degree programs offered, are strongly impacted by the department’s central goals: 1. to communicate the beauty and utility of the fundamental principles of the physical universe and the power of describing nature in quantitative terms, 2. to create new knowledge, 3. to foster critical and creative thinking, 4. to enhance the ability of citizens to participate in a technological democracy, 5. to assist in the preparation of elementary and secondary school teachers,

The degree programs of the department are constructed to be rigorous, yet flexible, and are intended to help students prepare for careers in academia, government and industrial laboratories, medicine, law, teaching, and business. Required course and laboratory work in these programs carefully balances theory and experiment. Because the department believes that one must participate in discovery to understand science, undergraduates are encouraged to engage in departmental research early in their studies, and a formal research experience is integral to most departmental programs. The department’s Get Away Special activities provide excellent opportunities for students of all backgrounds to participate in space related research.

Requirements Departmental Admission and Graduation Requirements. New freshmen admitted to USU in good standing qualify for admission to the degree programs in Physics. Admission in good standing for students transferring from another institution requires

Graduate Programs Admission Requirements In addition to the general requirements for admission established by the School of Graduate Studies (see pages 72-73), the department admission committee bases its decisions for offering admission on the following criteria: review of applicants’ undergraduate records, letters of recommendation, performance in graduate courses (if any), performance in research (if any), and scores on the General portion of the Graduate Record Examination. Students whose native language is not English are strongly encouraged to submit to the School of Graduate Studies results of the Test of Spoken English (TSE). Regardless, nonnative English speakers must submit a score for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). If a satisfactory score on the TSE is not provided, such students will be required to take a test given by the Intensive English Language Institute (IELI) at USU. The purpose of this test is to guide the selection of remedial language courses, if needed, to help with physics coursework comprehension. (See also Financial Assistance, page 389.)

Placement Prior to registering for graduate courses for the first time, each student will consult with the Graduate Student Tracking Committee and the departmental advisor. Based on these discussions, the student will be advised to register for courses in either the Physics Department standard curriculum or advanced curriculum. Continuing advisement concerning courses will be provided by the Graduate Student Tracking Committee, the departmental advisor, and the student’s graduate supervisory committee.

Qualification Requirements Each student enrolled in the PhD program will be evaluated for qualification for PhD work. Consideration of qualification will occur no later than the end of the second semester after the student has been admitted for study in the PhD program and has taken a first graduate course in physics. Evaluation will be based on whatever relevant information the student wishes to have presented on his or her behalf (coursework, research, TA performance, subject GRE, etc.), but must include a faculty evaluation of coursework in physics for courses taken at USU. Normally, the student should present the results of at least four physics courses. Students admitted to the PhD program with considerable coursework from another institution, who have not taken at least four courses in physics at USU, must present a qualification seminar to the Department of Physics on research he or she has done during the preceding year at USU. Based on the various pieces of information presented on behalf of the student, the department will judge whether or not the student is qualified to continue in the PhD program. If not, a student already having an MS in physics from USU will be asked to leave. A student without an MS in physics from USU will be invited to finish his or her MS degree. Upon completion, the student can reapply to the PhD program, but acceptance will be contingent on the evaluation of the student’s graduate work to that point.

Degree Programs Master of Science. In addition to the above general requirements, students completing a Plan A MS degree must complete

four of the ten required PhD courses listed below (see Doctor of Philosophy). Plan B MS students must complete five of the ten courses, and Plan C MS students must complete six of the ten courses. The student must also submit and orally defend either a thesis (Plan A) or a research report (Plan B) at the discretion of the student’s supervisory committee. Plan A and Plan B MS candidates must present a colloquium to the department on the research topic during the time the thesis or research report is being written. The department also accepts Plan C, which has no research component. For Plan C, the student must complete 33 credits of graduate-level classwork, the composition of which shall include the required courses listed above. In addition, the student must present a seminar and a paper to his or her supervisory committee on a topic related to educational or managerial aspects of physics graduate education, which is chosen by his or her supervisory committee. Master of Science (Upper Atmospheric Physics Specialization). The department offers a specialization in Upper Atmospheric Physics for MS students. This degree is a Plan A MS. In consultation with his or her advisor, the student selects a minimum of 18 credits of classwork from the following courses: Phyx 4600, 6240, 6310, 6320, 6330, 6340, 7210, 7500; 3 to 6 additional credits may be chosen from courses in electrical engineering, computer science, mathematics, and biometeorology. The student may gain from 6 to 12 credits by research, to be written up as a thesis that must be defended orally. In addition, the student must present a colloquium on the topic of his or her research. Doctor of Philosophy. In addition to the general requirements, a total of 10 courses (30 credits) are required for all PhD students. The required courses are: Phyx 5340, 5350, 6010, 6110, 6210, and 6410; one State of Matter course; one Advanced Laboratory course; and two courses in Advanced Topics. The State of Matter requirement can be fulfilled by taking any one of Phyx 6330, 6530, or 6930. The Advanced Laboratory requirement can be fulfilled with either Phyx 5870 or 7210. This requirement may also be fulfilled with Phyx 7500, as long as Phyx 7500 consists of a hands-on experience with advanced instrumentation and with department head approval. These courses must be completed no more than one year after PhD qualification. The student must also take an oral candidacy examination, consisting of a presentation made by the student, then followed by questions from departmental faculty. The presentation and questions will be based upon a research topic set by the student’s supervisory committee. The candidacy oral examination will normally occur no later than the fifth semester after the student begins graduate coursework. The student will have at least two months to prepare for the examination. The student must also complete a research dissertation and give an oral defense of the dissertation. Furthermore, the PhD candidate is expected to give two colloquia to the department. The first of these will normally be given at the time of submission of the research proposal, with the other given at the time the dissertation is completed.

Research Space Science. The Physics Department is active in the field of atmospheric and space science, in close association with the interdisciplinary Center for Atmospheric and Space Sciences and the Space Dynamics Laboratory. Atmospheric and space science involves many areas of physics, in addition to such disciplines as engineering, chemistry, and meteorology. At USU, these groups enjoy a strong cooperative relationship and, as a result, the atmo-

Physics 389

spheric and space science program has flourished for many years. Once the departmental requirements have been met, students may select courses from the offerings of the associated departments suited for their particular interests and needs while they gain research experience on challenging problems in atmospheric and space science. Opportunities are available for students in both experimental and theoretical projects. These include participation in instrument development and data analysis related to rocket, satellite, and space shuttle projects and projects in experimental design and data analysis related to incoherent-scatter and coherent radars, ground-based magnetometer, and ground-based optical instruments including a LIDAR system. Opportunities also exist in theoretical modeling of physical processes occurring in both the neutral atmosphere and in the plasma in the solar-terrestrial environment.

Electromagnetic and Plasma Theory. The study of perfect conductors in the presence of magnetic fields has interesting applications to space plasmas, and illuminates certain properties of quantum fluids such as superconductors. Using minimum energy principles, researchers attempt to model magnetic structures such as flux ropes near Venus, filaments in the solar corona, and fluxoids in super conductors.

Surface Physics. The surface physics group has an active experimental research program studying the structure, growth, dynamics, electronic properties, and optical properties of surfaces, interfaces, and adsorbed layers. The group has expertise in the interactions of electrons, ions, and photons with materials. Experimental techniques used within the group include atomic force microscopy (AFM), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), infrared spectroscopy, ion scattering spectroscopy, ion implantation, low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), photoemission spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS), thermal deflection spectroscopy, ultrafast femtosecond laser spectroscopy, vapor pressure adsorption isotherms, and x-ray diffraction. This interdisciplinary research brings together the fields of solid-state physics, surface physics and chemistry, optics, physical chemistry, and electrochemistry through active collaborations between Physics, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and other departments. It includes both basic and applied research.

Physics of Quantum Devices. The rapid advance of technology has made quantum physics an indispensable foundation of the nanoscale devices. The Physics Department is positioned to explore this new field with two complementary research themes. The first theme is to study the growth of novel electronic/photonic materials involving group III-VII elements. Bulk and surface analytic tools will be used to characterize the materials. This part of the research is currently under development. The second theme is to use the most advanced surface science techniques to fabricate nanoscale structures on semiconductor surfaces. The interdisciplinary nature of this field provides a stimulating research environment for faculty and students with backgrounds in physics, electrical engineering, material sciences, and chemistry. Theoretical Physics. The department maintains an active research program in theoretical physics via its Field Theory Group. The principal focus of this group is on unified field theories, gravitational theory, classical and quantum field theory, and geometric

methods in mathematical physics. Current research projects include: conformal and scale invariant gravity theories and unified field theories, Weyl-geometric quantization, exact solutions in Gauss-Bonnet extended gravity, classical and quantum dynamics of the gravitational field, symmetries and conservation laws in relativistic field theories, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulation of field theory, and application of geometrical methods in physics. Weekly seminars and ongoing collaborations with members of the USU Mathematics and Statistics Department and the University of Utah Physics Department provide an active research environment that allows for substantial interaction between students and faculty.

Physics Education. The USU Physics Department is engaged in the study of how to improve the teaching and learning of physics. The program currently emphasizes introductory and general education courses and involves development of hands-on, inquiry-based curricula for lecture and laboratory, development of associated laboratory and multimedia equipment and modules, preparation of new texts and workbooks, sponsorship of undergraduate research, and outreach to the pre-college community.

Complex Materials and Dynamics. Current work at USU in the interdisciplinary area of complex systems includes theoretical and experimental studies of the physical properties of granular materials, development of new data analysis techniques for uncovering evidence for determinism in erratic signals, and identification and implementation of perturbative methods for controlling complex behavior in electrical circuits, spatially extended systems (such as flames), and in wildlife populations.

Financial Assistance Financial assistance in the form of teaching assistantships and fellowships is awarded by the department. Research assistantships are available from research groups or individuals. Some support for teaching laboratory sections or grading papers is available. To be eligible for a teaching assistantship (TA), a student must successfully complete a graduate TA workshop. Nonnative English-speaking students must pass a test of spoken English (or submit a satisfactory TSE score) administered by the Intensive English Language Institute before being admitted to the TA workshop. The MS specialization in Upper Atmospheric Physics is a Western Regional Graduate Program (see page 71).

Career Opportunities Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree holders in physics are generally employed by industrial or government laboratories as either physicists or engineers. Some are hired as teachers by high schools and by two-year colleges. Holders of the PhD in physics will generally be hired as research and development physicists by industrial or government laboratories and as professors in universities (though usually only following an appointment as a postdoctoral fellow for one to three years).

Undergraduate Programs Objectives The departmental curricula emphasize understanding basic plant functions and environmental impacts on the management of crops, greenhouses, irrigation regimes, and landscapes. The purpose of the undergraduate teaching program is to train students in their chosen field of study. The program aims to prepare them to serve clientele needs, provide them with an understanding of and an appreciation for diversity, and teach them to be productive citizens of the world and professionals in their vocations. The department also provides training of undergraduates for graduate school and maintains a strong graduate program in biometeorology, plant science, and soil science. The research that underlies the graduate program is conducted in biometeorology (micro- and meso-scale), crop biotechnology, crop ecology, crop physiology, crop science, horticulture (general and ornamental), plant breeding, soil microbiology, pedology, soil chemistry, soil physics, soil fertility, environmental soil and water science, and arid landscaping. A major effort is directed at extending research and teaching programs to all citizens of the State of Utah. Plants, Soils, and Biometeorology

Departmental Facilities To support these objectives, departmental facilities include well-equipped laboratories and greenhouses on campus. The University has significant acreage for field research at strategic locations throughout the state. In addition, the University is developing a botanical garden, which will offer opportunities to a broad spectra of clientele. The department maintains state-of-the-art analytical equipment for the measurement of critical soil, plant, and climatic variables.

Requirements Departmental Admission Requirements. Persons meeting the admission requirements for the University (see pages 48-51) are admitted to the Department of Plants, Soils, and Biometeorology by listing the department major code on the University admission application form. A change of major form is used when students in good standing wish to transfer from another department to the Department of Plants, Soils, and Biometeorology. ARCPACS Certification. Students who meet specific requirements are eligible, after five years of work experience, for professional certification as an Agronomist, Crop Scientist, Crop Specialist, Horticulturist, Soil Scientist, Soil Specialist, Soil Classifier, or Weed Scientist through the American Registry of Certified Professionals in Agronomy, Crops, and Soils (ARCPACS). Course requirements for certification are listed below. Students interested in becoming certified should inform their advisor of their intent. Applied Ornamental Horticulture Certificates and AAS Degree. This program provides practical training in greenhouse and nursery management, turf production, floral design, and maintenance of home and commercial grounds. Coursework encompasses pest control, plant identification, construction of landscapes, small business management, and the operation and maintenance of equipment, including small engines. As an inte-

gral part of their training, students are required to complete an internship in the industry. Students may work toward a one-year certificate or an Associate of Applied Science Degree. Bachelor of Science Degree. The department offers the Bachelor of Science Degree in three areas: (1) Crop Science, which deals with agronomic (commonly called field) crops, such as forages, grains, corn, pasture, etc.; (2) Horticulture, which deals with tree fruits, berries, vine fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants (ornamental includes all aspects of floriculture and landscape plant production and use); and (3) Environmental Soil/Water Science, which deals with soil and water in relation to plant growth and environmental quality. In all three majors, there are science-oriented emphases intended to prepare students for research or professional studies, and degree emphases that emphasize a practical, applied approach to application of information. All courses used to fill major requirements must be taken on an A-B-C-D-F basis. A minimum 2.5 GPA is required for courses used for the major. Transfer students are required to take at least 18 credits of major subject courses in residence at USU. A minor may be earned in Agronomy, Crop Biotechnology, Horticulture, Ornamental Horticulture, and Soil Science. A minimum of 16 approved credits are required (see lists below). All courses must be taken on an A-B-C-D-F basis and passed with a grade of C- or better. The course requirements for the Crop Science Major are designed to prepare students for a career related to the production of agronomic crops. These courses allow students to function well in a rapidly changing technological environment and to acquire new skills and understanding as their career evolves. Each of the emphases within this major has been designed to allow students the flexibility to add courses or a minor to meet their own goals. The Agronomy Emphasis is designed for students interested in learning more about the applied aspects of crop production. Some courses emphasize production techniques and systems, while others provide the student with an understanding of the principles underlying crop production. The Biotechnology/Research Emphasis is designed for students who wish to participate in the development of plant-oriented technologies at any level of employment, and for those who intend to pursue a career in private or public research or to teach at the university level. The Agronomic Research Emphasis is designed for students planning careers in production-oriented agronomic research. The Horticulture Major prepares students for production of fruits, vegetables, turf, or ornamentals and for landscape construction and maintenance. Course topics include biology, chemistry, and control of insects, diseases, and weeds. The Ornamental Emphasis adds courses in production management techniques, such as pruning, spraying, and landscaping (materials, design, and maintenance); and greenhouse management. In the Landscape Maintenance and Construction Emphasis, students learn design, construction, and maintenance through a joint program with the Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning Department. The Science Emphasis prepares students for graduate study and for employment in technical occupations. The Business Emphasis joins courses necessary for a minor in Business with those necessary for obtaining expertise in horticulture. The Environmental Soil/Water Science Major is intended to provide each student with a fundamental understanding of the basic sciences and mathematics, as well as a strong background in both soil and water sciences. Preparatory requirements include chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology, geology, and statistics. The core courses for Environmental Soil/Water Science empha-

Plants, Soils, and Biometeorology 395

size the interactive soil/water processes in the soilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plant-rooting zoneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from the microscopic to the landscape perspective. From this base, each student can design his or her own program of specialization in one of the many aspects of soil science, water science, or the integration of both soil and water sciences. Students may choose complementary classes in the Soil Emphasis, Water Emphasis, Plant Emphasis, or a combined emphasis in preparation for a variety of career opportunities. The Environmental Soil/Water Science Major is complementary to existing undergraduate programs at Utah State University in Geology, Environmental Studies, Watershed Science, and Environmental Engineering.

Undergraduate Programs Objectives Psychologists endeavor to scientifically understand the thought processes, emotions, and behavior of both humans and animals. Psychologists specialize in diverse areas. Some psychologists seek to better understand the interactions among genetic, biological, social, and psychological determinants of behavior. Other psychologists are concerned with how the body and brain create emotions, memories, and sensory experiences, and how these are perceived and interpreted. Still others are concerned with how we learn observable responses and how we process, store, and retrieve infor-

mation. Additionally, psychologists focus their careers on the causes, assessment, and/or treatment of emotional and behavioral disorders. Psychologists utilize research methods to understand the causes of behavior, emotion, and thought processes. The Department of Psychology at USU offers a rich undergraduate program in psychology with the primary objectives being: 1. To provide students with substantive knowledge in the basic discipline of psychology, such as history/systems, basic behavior processes, biological bases of behavior, development, personality, learning and cognition, social influences on individuals, research methods, and psychological disorders and treatment.

Psychology 409

2. Teaching students how to critically analyze and solve problems pertaining to human interaction, communication, and relationships. 3. Student mastery of principles relating to the causes of behavior, basic learning processes, and the measurement and analysis of behavior. 4. Training students to use scientific and quantitative methods to better understand and apply social science research. 5. Preparing students to compete successfully for entry into nationally and internationally recognized graduate programs in the social sciences. 6. Preparing majors and minors to compete successfully for postbachelor employment opportunities in private/public education, human services, government, and corporations. Psychology The courses in Psychology and the electives available in related departments allow students to tailor their education to meet specific career goals. Some students who major in psychology may qualify for admission to unique specialty tracks: (1) the (secondary education) Teaching Major; (2) Behavior Analysis Skill Track; (3) Interpersonal Relationships Skill Track; and (4) Graduate School Preparation Track. A human services/caseworker training option may also be available to majors. Students can complete the major or minor in psychology either on-campus (Logan), or through the USU Distance Education system (all required courses and selected electives are offered every 1-2 years) available throughout the State of Utah. The specific requirements for the skill tracks, the Apprenticeship, the on- and off-campus (distance education) options, and for how psychology electives can be used to advance students’ career goals can be obtained from the Psychology Advisement Office, Eccles-Jones Education Building, Room 475, (435) 797-1456.

Requirements Departmental Admission Requirements. Students are admitted to the Department of Psychology as Prepsychology majors by meeting the Utah State University admission requirements (see pages 48-51). To be a Psychology major, a student must make written application to the department, after meeting the following prerequisites: (1) completion of at least 40 semester credits with a cumulative GPA of 2.75 or higher; (2) completion of at least 18 credits of the University Studies requirement with a GPA of 2.75 or higher; and (3) completion of Psy 1010, 1100, 1400, and 1410 with a GPA of 3.0 or higher. Application to the department should be made during the semester in which these prerequisites will be completed. General Undergraduate Psychology Major: Required Courses (22 credits), plus Primary Electives (13 credits), Secondary Electives (6 credits), and Apprenticeship (6 credits) Requirements for a psychology major consist of a broad preparation of 22 credits of specified coursework, plus a minimum of 19 credits of approved Psychology elective courses, and 6 credits of an apprenticeship, which allows for integration of coursework knowledge (theory) through application, for a total of 47 credits. At least 28 Psychology credits must be upper-division, 12 of which must be taken at USU. The specific courses required are: Psy 1010, 1100, 1400, 1410, 2800, 3500, 5100, 5330 (22 credits).

Primary electives are: Psy 3210, 3510, 4210 (choose 6 credits); Psy 3460 or Biol 3020 or Psy 3450 (choose 3 credits); Psy 3400, 4420/4430 (choose 4 credits).

Required Apprenticeship courses are: Psy 5950, 5960 (6 credits). A minor is required. A minimum overall USU GPA of 2.75 is required for graduation, with a minimum GPA of 3.0 in Psychology. Students must receive a grade of C- or higher in all psychology courses (USU and transfer) in order to have them counted toward graduation. (Students desiring licensure for teaching in secondary schools must also meet the requirements of the Secondary Education Department.) To graduate with a major in psychology, students must meet a minimum end-of-level competency in all of the Psychology courses that they have been required to (or have elected to) take to fulfill the requirements of the psychology major. Students’ end-of-level competencies are demonstrated by verifying how much information they have actually retained in given subject areas later in their college careers. Currently, students demonstrate their end-of-level competency by completing appropriate area tests within the context of Psy 5950 and 5960. It is recommended that students enroll for Psy 5950 the semester immediately following admission to the psychology major. Undergraduate Psychology Minor: Required Courses (10 credits), plus Elective Courses (8 credits minimum) For a Psychology Minor, students must complete the following courses (10 credits): Psy 1010; Psy 1100 or 2100; Psy 1400, 1410. Also, at least 8 credits must be selected from courses listed as required or primary electives for the Psychology Major. The student’s grade point average for all psychology courses, USU or transfer, must average 3.0 or above to qualify for credit toward the minor. At least 12 credits of the 18 required credits must be completed at USU. Students must receive a grade of C- or higher in all psychology courses (USU and transfer) in order to have them counted toward graduation. Psychology Teaching Major: Required Psychology Courses (27 credits), plus Elective Psychology Courses (13 credits) Requirements for a Teaching Major in Psychology broadly consist of 27 credits of specified psychology coursework and 13 credits of elective psychology coursework, for a total of 40 credits in psychology.

At least 12 credits of the 18 required

410 Psychology

credits must be completed at USU. In addition, they must select at least one 3-credit class from the list of courses required for or serving as primary electives for the psychology major. Required GPA for psychology courses is 3.0. Students must receive a grade of C- or higher in all psychology courses (USU and transfer) in order to have them counted toward graduation. Finally, they need to fullfill the 35-credit requirement for the Secondary Teacher Education Program (STEP) in the Department of Secondary Education.

Skill Tracks for Undergraduate Majors in Psychology The following skill tracks can be completed as part of a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major in Psychology. A skill track represents a cluster of courses that help provide more comprehensive knowledge and practical skill in particular areas. After admission as a major in Psychology, students may apply for admission to a skill track. Completing a skill track requires careful planning, so that skill track courses and all other required and elective courses for the major are fulfilled. Enrollment in a skill track is entirely optional for majors.

Behavior Analysis Skill Track. The following cluster of courses will provide psychology majors with a basic foundation in experimental and applied behavior analysis: Psy 1400, 1410, 3400, 4910, 5720; SpEd 5010, 5050; Biol 3010; and Phil 4320 or 4900.

Interpersonal Relationships Skill Track. The following cluster of courses will assist psychology majors in systematically developing a broad range of interpersonal relationship skills, such as listening, assertiveness, negotiation, conflict resolution, anger management, etc.: Psy 1210, 3210, 3510, 4210, 4510, 5200; MHR 3710.

Graduate School Preparation Track. The major in Psychology has been designed so that students take classes that will help them compete in applying for graduate school. Students completing the graduate school track need to become actively involved with faculty research, form an association with Psi Chi, and enroll in independent research and readings courses. Students should also take a course covering use of statistical software (e.g., SPSS), offered through FHD or Sociology. Furthermore, it is recommended that students take at least one upper-division course in statistics from Psychology, FHD, or Sociology.

Psychology Courses Fulfilling University Studies Requirements The following Psychology courses may be used to fulfill University Studies requirements, in the areas indicated: Breadth Social Sciences (BSS): Psy 1010. Depth Social Sciences (DSS): Psy 3210, 3400, 3500, 3510, 4210, 4230, 4240, 4420. Communications Intensive (CI): Psy 4510, 5200, 5950, 5960. Quantitative Intensive (QI): Psy 2800.

Although these courses may be applied toward fulfilling the University Studies breadth, depth, communications intensive, and quantitative intensive requirements, students must be prepared to complete additional writing or library assignments, as required for University Studies.

Important Contingencies for Psychology Courses Prerequisites for Psychology courses are strictly enforced. The prerequisites are indicated, at the end of course descriptions, within the Psychology course listings (see pages 412-416). A student must be admitted as a psychology major or must complete at least 45 semester credits with a GPA of 3.0 or higher prior to taking psychology courses numbered 3000 or above. However, students who have been admitted to the Teacher Education program may take Psy 3660, provided they have met the prerequisites. A student must be admitted as a psychology major or must complete at least 60 semester credits with a GPA of 3.0 or higher prior to taking psychology courses numbered 4000 or above. Students desiring to receive credit for courses taken previously at other institutions will need to assure the Undergraduate Advising Office that the substitute class contained the requisite laboratory experience (where applicable). Students who can complete a baccalaureate degree within seven years of enrollment at USU can qualify for graduation by meeting (1) the General Education/University Studies requirements in effect when they initially enrolled and (2) the major requirements in effect when they officially declared their major, even though there may have been changes in General Education/University Studies and major requirements since that time. Students who have not completed the baccalaureate requirements within seven years of their initial enrollment at USU must have their General Education/University Studies and major requirements evaluated and approved by their department head and dean. However, exceptions to this seven-year policy may be necessary for mandated changes in degree requirements. Undergraduate psychology coursework (USU or transfer) that is more than eight years old may not be used toward meeting the specific psychology coursework requirements for a psychology major or psychology minor. However, the Psychology Department Undergraduate Committee may allow revalidation through testing. Testing arrangements may be made by contacting Tara Johnson by e-mail at tjohnson@coe.usu.edu.

Graduate Programs Admission Requirements Admissions requirements vary somewhat across Psychology graduate programs. However, applications submitted to the School of Graduate Studies must include the following: (1) transcript showing completion of undergraduate course prerequisites, plus any recommended coursework; (2) report of (GRE) test scores from ETS; (3) GPA of at least 3.2, covering the last 60 semester credits; (4) three letters of recommendation; and (5) a statement of professional goals and intent. The department requires a minimum GRE combined (Verbal and Quantitative) score of at least 1,100 for all programs. The deadline for submitting applications for the Combined Clinical/Counseling/School Psychology PhD program is January 15. Applications for the Research and Evaluation Methodology PhD program are reviewed throughout the year. The application

Psychology 411

deadline for the MS School Psychology program is March 1. Applications for the MS program in School Counseling must be submitted by June 1 during odd-numbered alternate years (e.g., 2003, 2005, etc.). With the exception of the PhD program in Combined Clinical/Counseling/School, applications for programs may be accepted after these dates if openings still exist. Students are admitted to Psychology master’s degree programs, including School Psychology and School Counseling, following completion of a bachelor’s degree. Prospective PhD program students can compete for admission to the Combined Clinical/Counseling/School program or the Research and Evaluation Methodology program if they possess either a bachelor’s or a master’s degree.

Absolute undergraduate course prerequisites for admission to the MS in School Counseling are as follows: (1) Developmental Psychology; (2) Abnormal Psychology; (3) Theories/Research in Personality; and (4) Psychological Statistics (or equivalent). The MS in School Counseling requires 40 total semester credits. The following courses are required: Psy 6150, 6220, 6240, 6250 (10 credits), 6260, 6290, 6330, 6350, 6370, 6460, 6660.

This program integrates the theory and practice of psychology common to the disciplines traditionally denoted as clinical, counseling, and school psychology. It subscribes to the scientist-practitioner model, and students completing the program will commonly enter professional practice in VA hospitals, mental health centers, hospitals, clinics, and academic settings. The program provides an excellent balance of research and practitioner skill training. Entering BS students can opt to earn an MS degree in either school counseling or school psychology prior to the PhD. A research thesis and dissertation are required of all students. The combined program provides generalized training, along with three areas of specialization. The emphasis areas are designed for students to begin systematically developing a specialty area in line with their future career goals. The three areas of specialization, which mirror faculty interest and expertise, are health psychology/neuropsychology, child clinical (with or without a school psychology emphasis), and rural and minority psychology. The program is also affiliated with the American Indian Support Project, one of the nation’s most successful programs for training and mentoring American Indian PhD psychologists. Absolute undergraduate prerequisites for admission to the PhD program in Combined Clinical/Counseling/School are as follows: (1) Elementary Statistics; (2) Theories/Research in Learning; (3) Abnormal Psychology; and (4) Theories/Research in Personality.

Note: The MS counseling psychology degree is available only to students matriculated into the PhD Clinical/Counseling/School program.

Research and Evaluation Methodology (REM) School Counseling This program has been designed to help students earn an MS degree in psychology, with appropriate coursework for certification as a school counselor. School counselors are commonly employed by public and private elementary and secondary schools to provide educational/vocational guidance and counseling services. The program is approved by the Utah State Office of Education. It is offered via a live, video distance education system (EDNET). This program is not designed to meet the requirements for the Professional Counselor license (mental health).

The department offers a PhD program in research and evaluation methodology. The program is designed to produce specialists in research and evaluation methodology capable of contributing to the knowledge base in psychology and education, and of evaluating programs, products, and processes employed in these two fields. While satisfying the department’s general requirements, students may design their programs to become specialists in evaluation, applied research, basic research, or functional combinations of these roles. A research thesis and/or dissertation are required of all students.

412 Psychology

Students in the Professional-Scientific PhD program must also complete a formal case presentation, and compete nationally for admission to an APA-approved, 2,000-hour predoctoral internship. The REM program has an additional requirement of a grant proposal.

Research Opportunities for Students Departmental faculty are heavily involved in programmatic research. A sampling of the diverse research interests of tenured and tenure-track faculty available to students includes: Ascione —prosocial, moral development, domestic violence, relation between cruelty to animals and psychopathology; Chavajay—relations between culture and cognition, developmental psychology; Cheney—behavioral pharmacology, basic operant learning; Crowley—anxiety, depression, supervision and training; DeBerard—health psychology, behavioral medicine, spinal surgery outcome and technique efficacy; Domenech Rodriguez—Latino family dynamics, parent training programs; Ferguson—social skills, guilt/shame development, social cognition; Galliher—social and dating relationship processes and dymanics in adolescence and rural mental health service delivery; Gilbertson— early intervention and prevention of behavior problems, school psychology; Gimpel—ADHD, behavioral disorders of children; Hayashi—quantitative methods, psychometrics; Julnes—evaluation theory, human service delivery, family; Lehman—Web/ Internet learning variables and efficacy, educational psychology; Masters—exercise and health, health psychology, therapy outcome, religion and health; Osborne—experimental and applied behavior analysis; Roberts—early intervention with families of young children, community-based systems of services; Stein—addictive behaviors and models, drug and alcohol prevention/treatment; J. Tschanz—neuropsychology of Alzheimer’s disease and other dimentias; White—educational research, hearing loss detection in infancy and program evaluation.

Graduate Student Financial Assistance Financial support for students enrolled in terminal MS programs is limited. MS students should meet with their academic advisor for information about possible assistantship opportunities. PhD students are guaranteed an assistantship for at least their first year. However, for at least the last 15 years, 100 percent of

PhD students have continued to enjoy assistantship support beyond their first year, if they desired it. The department has available a number of teaching assistantships. Though these are generally awarded to students matriculated in psychology PhD programs, they are occasionally given to exceptional MS students. Also, faculty in the department and college regularly offer research assistantships to graduate students, as does the Counseling Center and a variety of on- and off-campus facilities (e.g., Center for Persons with Disabilities, Bear River Mental Health Center, Head Start, and Early Head Start). Additionally, first-year psychology PhD students typically compete extremely well for several University Fellowships, which were established to attract top student scholars to USU. Furthermore, the department has some scholarship support specifically available to psychology graduate students (e.g., Walter Borg and Elwin Nielsen scholarships). Finally, in accordance with current School of Graduate Studies policy, PhD students may qualify for full tuition remission for up to 70 credits within their program.

Secondary Teacher Education Program (STEP) Three-Level Program (35 credits). Secondary Education coordinates a state-approved program to complement the teaching majors and minors in 21 departments. The framework is organized into three sequential levels, each taken during a different semester. Students should plan to take the STEP during their junior and senior years while completing major and minor coursework. All three levels of the STEP are offered during fall and spring semesters, but not during summers. Levels of the STEP are taken as a package, not piecemeal. Each level must be satisfactorily completed before students advance to the next level. As outlined below, Level 1 and Level 2 courses are offered by the Department of Special Education and Rehabilitation and the Department of Secondary Education. Special methods classes are offered by many departments across campus. Students should consult the requirement sheet for their composite teaching major, teaching major, or teaching minor to determine which departmental methods course they should take at Level 1 or Level 2 to prepare for student teaching at Level 3. A master schedule of the special methods courses is available from departmental advisors or from the Department of Secondary Education. Student teaching in both the major and minor fields is required.

Secondary Education 419

Level 1 (10 credits). After admission to teacher education, students should take ScEd 3100 and 3210 during the same semester. In addition, Level 1 students must take a special methods course in either their major or minor teaching field. Finally, a departmentally sponsored course with a 3300 number should be taken for in-school clinical experiences. Level 2 (10 credits). After successfully completing Level 1 courses, students should take SpEd 4000 and ScEd 4200, 4210 during the same semester. In addition, Level 2 students must take a special methods course in either their major or minor teaching field. Finally, a departmentally sponsored course with a 4300 number should be taken for in-school clinical experiences. Level 3 (15 credits). After successfully completing Level 2 courses, students should take InsT 5200 and ScEd 5300, 5500, 5600. In addition, students should enroll for a student teaching seminar for secondary student teaching. Students must enroll for either Clinical Experience I or Clinical Experience II concurrent with their special methods courses. Special methods instructors set up and monitor these field activities in middle and high school settings. The clinical experiences provide a classroom context for understanding STEP and special methods courses. A third clinical experience is taken two weeks prior to student teaching at Level 3. A clinical experience fee of $50 is assessed at each of the three levels. This fee provides a stipend to classroom teachers who work with clinical experience students in the public schools. Background Check and Student Teaching. As a result of legislative mandate, all applicants for student teaching must undergo a criminal background check prior to student teaching placement. The Office of Field Experiences, Emma Eccles Jones Education Building, Room 330, will assist students in complying with this mandate. The fee for the background check is payable only by money order to the Utah State Office of Education. Applications for student teaching must be submitted to the Office of Field Experiences, Emma Eccles Jones Education Building, Room 330, by March 1 for fall semester and by October 1 for spring semester. Students must have completed 80 percent of their teaching major/minor (or composite major) requirements prior to student teaching. The Portfolio Interview is part of the application process. Students should be financially prepared to stay off campus, if necessary, during the 10-week block of student teaching. Because student teaching requires a major commitment of time and energy, it should be planned with care. Students are urged to forego outside employment, if possible, during the student teaching experience.

Graduate Programs Admission Requirements The Department of Secondary Education assists in the preparation of graduate students seeking the MEd, MA, and MS degrees, as well as the EdD and PhD degrees. Students desiring information concerning the various graduate programs should contact the department head. The application for admission to a graduate program is made through the School of Graduate Studies. See Graduate Admission Procedures (pages 72-73). Students applying to a master’s degree program may take either the Miller Analogy Test (MAT) or the Graduate Record

Exam (GRE). Students applying to a doctoral degree program should take the GRE. Scores at the 40th percentile or above are required for admission. In addition, students must have at least one year of teaching experience (or comparable professional experience) and a valid secondary teaching license. All students applying to the doctoral degree program (Curriculum and Instruction specialization) participate in oral interviews with the Curriculum and Instruction Management Committee. A sample of academic writing should be included as part of the doctoral-level admission folder. Master’s applications are considered three times a year: June 15 for fall semester registration, October 15 for spring semester registration, and March 15 for summer semester registration. Doctoral applications are considered more frequently. Application folders will be not be considered until all required information is received by the School of Graduate Studies and sent to the department.

Master’s Degree Programs Secondary Education master’s degree programs provide coursework and professional experiences for those preparing to become master teachers, teacher-leaders, supervisors, or curriculum specialists. Each program provides coursework in education, with associated work in a specialized subject matter, which is the teacher’s area of concentration. Typically, the area of concentration derives from the teacher’s ongoing work with middle school or high school students. Areas of emphasis in Secondary Education include the following: Educational Leadership, ESL, Gifted and Talented, English, Mathematics, Middle School, Reading, Science, and Social Studies. Three University departments—Art, Business Information Systems, and Music—also participate in master’s degree programs sponsored by Secondary Education. Admission to these fields of study requires approval of the cooperating department. In planning areas of emphasis, students work with a faculty advisor and select graduate courses from the University-wide curriculum. MEd Degree Plan B (36 credits). The MEd Plan B option culminates in the presentation of a creative project in a final exam setting. Students take a common core of courses from college and departmental curricula, then plan areas of concentration in relation to their teaching specialties. The research course for the MEd focuses on issues of application, as well as action research. Students may prepare creative projects of diverse kinds linked to teaching realities. In lieu of the creative project, students may select Plan C, an extra coursework option. MEd Degree Plan C (40 credits). The Plan C MEd culminates in the presentation of a Professional Portfolio organized around principles of effective teaching that form the conceptual framework for courses in the Department of Secondary Education. Students take a common core of courses from college and departmental curricula, then plan areas of concentration in relation to their teaching specialties. The purpose of the portfolio is for students to integrate and apply concepts learned in the master’s program. MS and MA Degrees Plan A (30 credits). The MS/MA option culminates in a formal defense of a thesis. This option is for teachers whose long-term goals require a traditional, research-oriented degree. The MS thesis involves either an experimental or qualitative research study. The MA thesis involves development of a scholarly literature review. The MA degree also requires foreign language competency.

Doctoral Degree Programs For students who have already completed a master’s degree, Secondary Education participates in the interdepartmental doctoral program coordinated by the dean of the College of Education. Both PhD and EdD degrees are offered in the Curriculum and Instruction specialization. For an overview of the program, including program requirements and admission procedures, see pages 211-212 of this catalog. As with any degree program, students interested in doctoral study are encouraged to contact the department head of Secondary Education.

Financial Assistance Departmental support or grant support is available to doctoral-level students pursuing full-time study on campus. Such financial support typically is through assistantships, which carry half-time teaching, research, or supervisory obligations. Typical assistantships carry forward for three or four years. Awards are made on a competitive basis. Doctoral students who wish to be considered for financial aid should apply to the department no later than February 1 for the following academic year. Acceptance to graduate study does not guarantee financial assistance.

Interdepartmental Program in

Social Sciences Degree Coordinator: Dean Elizabeth S. Grobsmith, College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences Office in Main 338, (435) 797-1195 Degree offered: Master of Social Sciences (MSS) Major Disciplines (specializations): Economics, History, Human Resources Management, Human Resources Management with emphasis in Student Services Personnel Administration, and Sociology Minor Disciplines: Anthropology, Business Administration, Instructional Technology, Economics, Family and Human Development, Geography and Earth Resources, History, Political Science, Psychology, Social Work, Sociology, and Management and Human Resources

Graduate Program Administration The program is administered by a committee of the department heads (Management Committee) from the four major disciplines or their designees. The committee is chaired by annual rotation by one of the members of the committee, and reports to the Degree Coordinator. The Management Committee reviews policy and develops recommendations which are submitted to the Degree Coordinator for approval.

Degree Description The social sciences are disciplines that have as a common objective the understanding of human behavior and social relationships. The MSS offers multidisciplinary graduate training for candidates desiring in-depth applied understanding of human performance, human environments, and/or the structuring of social, political, and economic systems. There are Plan B and Plan C options in the MSS Program. Students in Economics, History, and Sociology typically follow the Plan B option, while Human Resources Management students typically follow the Plan C option. The Plan B option requires a minimum of 30 credits and the Plan C option requires a minimum of 33 credits. Both options require a minimum of 15 credits in a major discipline plus a minimum of 15 credits from one of the following two tracks: Track A: a minimum of 15 credits from two approved minor areas, with at least two courses in each minor area. Track B: a minimum of 15 credits from an approved minor and a cluster, with at least two courses in the minor and two courses in the cluster. Courses counted in a cluster must be outside the selected major and minor. Three of the 30 credits required for the Plan B option must be thesis credits, but no more than 3 credits of thesis can be counted toward a degree. Plan C requires 33 credits of coursework with no thesis credit allowed. Departments may impose more rigorous requirements. A maximum of 3 credits may be earned either from readings/conferences or from independent research. The MSS degree is primarily intended to prepare degree recipients for employment or advancement in social science-related occupations. Students interested in pursuing doctoral work should consider a Plan A Master of Science program.

Admission Requirements See general admission requirements, pages 72-73. In addition, the faculty of each discipline determines whether to recommend to the graduate dean the acceptance of applicants. For further information, contact the Graduate Coordinator in the department of the proposed major.

Specializations Program specializations and emphases and the qualifications for each are summarized below. Economics. The areas of emphasis in Economics include Labor Economics, Economic History/Comparative Economic Systems, Business and Government, Economic Education, Environmental Economics, Trade and Development, and Rural Economic Development. Acceptable minor fields include any of the cooperating minor disciplines. History. The MSS in History is designed for secondary teachers who want more training to certify in additional teaching fields. Acceptable minor fields include Instructional Technology, Economics, Geography, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology/Anthropology. Human Resources Management. Human Resources Management deals with those processes that provide, develop, and maintain a productive workforce in a dynamic and changing environment. Subject areas include human resource planning; recruiting; selection; placement; compensation and benefits; performance management; career planning, training, and development; labor relations; and ethical/legal employment practices. Individuals interested in a general management program are referred to the College of Business MBA Program. Sociology. The MSS specialization in Sociology is well-suited to individuals with interdisciplinary interests.

Degree Requirements Student Supervision. For each student admitted, a supervisory committee is ordinarily appointed consisting of at least one faculty representative from the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major discipline and (a) one from each of the minor disciplines, or (b) one from a minor discipline and one from a discipline associated with the cluster. Policies governing student supervision may vary from specialization to specialization. Social Sciences Plan C Culminating Experience. Each major discipline has an integrative requirement toward the end of the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program for the Plan C option. The requirement may include a comprehensive examination, a capstone course, and/or an integrative project.

Plan B Research Paper. Each Plan B student must submit a research paper for thesis credit in accordance with School of Graduate Studies and departmental requirements. Ordinarily, the Plan B paper is written in the major discipline, but in some cases, with the approval of the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supervisory committee, it may be written in one of the minor disciplines. Information specific to each major discipline may be obtained by contacting the sponsoring department.

Further Information Candidates interested in pursuing this degree program may obtain specific information by contacting the head of one of the participating departments, the School of Graduate Studies, or the dean of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.

Sociology Undergraduate Program Director: Gary E. Madsen Program Office: Main 224, (435) 797-1230 The study of the human individual and human groups is central to sociology. These subjects offer a broad foundation for understanding human behavior on an individual and group basis, and encourage the development of skills necessary for establishing favorable societal conditions for human development. Students learn to systematically describe and explain group behavior, including the effects of one group on another and of groups upon individual behavior. Required sociology classes deal with how people in different societies organize and control their societies, critical issues in sociology as they have developed through history, and statistical methods for analyzing sociological data. Upon completion of the prescribed program for a major in sociology, the student should be able to: 1. Demonstrate knowledge essential for understanding society from a sociological perspective; 2. Identify and critically evaluate the contributions of sociologists, social scientists, and scholars; 3. Identify and critically evaluate the forces and institutions that influence his or her life as a member of society; 4. Identify, comprehend, and critically evaluate the influences of race, class, gender, age, and disability on a member of society; 5. Pursue careers in sociological areas, business, government, and/or graduate study; and 6. Apply the methods and concepts of sociology to the analysis of social issues, problems, and conflicts in preparation for participation as agents of creative social change. Students select courses from three different areas. Social problems classes focus on retirement and other aspects of aging, the causes and prevention of juvenile delinquency, and the cultural characteristics of minority groups. Groups and institutions courses look at collective behavior, the organization of communities, and the development of gender roles, as well as economic systems, educational systems, and social inequality. Population, environment and development, and human ecology courses deal with the effects of the environment and human behavior and the consequences of different patterns of population growth and settlement. A Law and Society Area Studies Certificate is available. A teaching major in sociology is available for students wishing to teach in secondary schools. Surveys of graduates indicate that sociology majors pursue a wide range of occupations. About one-third are employed in the professional sector, while close to one-fourth are in service occupations. In addition, 26 percent are involved in sales or management/administration. In terms of specific job titles, social service is a popular option, as are retail sales and teaching. Other frequent job titles include: vocational rehabilitation counselor, research analyst, data coordinator, management analyst, district sales manager, parole officer, juvenile probation officer, social services director, civil service test examiner, personnel director, insurance

salesman, and correctional service officer. A variety of government and business positions are also expanding for sociology majors with the new emphasis on a liberal arts education. The growing awareness of the value of sociological perspectives for problem-solving continues to provide an increasing range of opportunities for employment in a variety of work settings. Departmental Graduation Requirements. Sociology majors must meet the following course requirements: 1. Complete the general requirements of the University. Majors are expected to take Stat 1040 to fulfill the quantitative literacy requirement for University Studies. 2. Complete a minimum of 33 credits of sociology coursework. At least fifty percent of the sociology coursework should be completed in the USU Sociology program. Sociology majors must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.5 in sociology courses and earn a grade of C- or better in courses to be counted toward the major. 3. A minor outside the program is encouraged but not required. 4. Complete the following required courses: Soc 1010, 3010, 3110, 3120, and 4010. 5. Choose a minimum of 18 credits from the following sociology elective courses. At least 3 credits must come from each of the three specialty areas listed below. a. Social Problems: Soc 1020, 3410, 3420, 3430, 3750, 4420. b. Groups and Institutions: Soc 2500, 3320, 3330, 3500, 4330. c. Population, Environment, and Development: Soc 3200, 3600, 3610, 4620, 4710, 4730, 5650/6650. Sociology and Social Work Dual Major. Sociology majors desiring additional preparation for employment in the social services may complete a dual major in sociology and social work. With the help of advisors, students who will seek positions in other special areas could include appropriately related courses. Minor. Students minoring in sociology must complete a minimum of 12 credits in sociology courses. Soc 1010 and 1020, as well as six additional credits with a Soc prefix, are required. Teaching License. Sociology is defined as an approved teaching major in Utah secondary schools by the State Board of Education. The sociology major must complete a minor in a subject that is required in Utah high schools. In addition to completing the courses required for the sociology major, the sociology teaching major must also complete the required teaching licensure courses in education. Students can also elect sociology as an approved teaching minor. Law and Society Area Studies. The Department of Sociology, Social Work and Anthropology sponsors an interdisciplinary program emphasizing the study of the relationship between law and society. Students must complete 24 credits, chosen from a selected list of courses, in at least three disciplines. A minimum 3.0 GPA must be maintained in these courses. The selected courses are: FHD 3120; JCom 4030; MHR 2990, 3810, 5640; Phil 2500, 4600, 4610, 5600; PolS 3120, 3130, 3170, 3320, 3810, 4120, 4130, 4810, 5130; Soc 1020, 3410, 3420, 3430, 4420; SpEd 5070; SW 5350. Only 12 credits may be selected from a single discipline. The Law and Society Area Studies program is pursued in conjunction with a major. Credits may be applied to the major, as well as to the area studies requirements. A

More information may be obtained from the department or from the Science/HASS Advising Center, Student Center 302. Gerontology Program. The Department of Sociology, Social Work and Anthropology is one of several departments sponsoring an interdisciplinary gerontology program, which prepares students for careers in the field of aging. Students may earn a certificate in gerontology by completing a selected list of course requirements, including supervised field practicum in a gerontological setting.

resolution of contemporary human social problems, such as poverty, racism, discrimination, exploitation, economic injustice, poor housing, malnutrition, alienation, and inadequate education.

Program Goals There are two fundamental goals that guide the Social Work Program: 1. To prepare students for employment as generalist social workers through education in a professional foundation curriculum and selected liberal arts education coursework.

More information concerning the gerontology certification program may be obtained from the Department of Family and Human Development.

2. To prepare students for advanced education, as well as to enlighten students with responsible citizenship in the areas of service and research.

American Studies Major. The Department of Sociology, Social Work and Anthropology is one of several departments offering an area of concentration for the American Studies program. Students who wish to focus their work in American culture should refer to the American Studies program description (page 230) and check with the Sociology program for further information.

The program is based on a generalist conception of social work and a problem-solving, empowerment, and strengths model of practice. The social work sequence stresses problem solving at the interface of person and environment, which requires that students develop a repertoire of generalist practice skills. The program inculcates in students the knowledge, skills, understanding, and values necessary to perform multi-level assessments and interventions utilizing a theoretical knowledge base. The program is committed to building a student’s education on a solid base which includes a liberal arts perspective vital to the development of a social worker.

Social Work Program Director: M. Diane Calloway-Graham Program Office: Main 239, (435) 797-1286; or Main 224, (435) 797-1230 Utah State University's Social Work Program offers a baccalaureate degree in social work. The program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) and meets requirements established by the State of Utah for licensure of social service workers. Its basic mission is to train students for employment as beginning, generalist social work practitioners. The program’s guiding educational philosophy is based on two broad traditions: (1) generalist social work practice and (2) the Land Grant University heritage. The Social Work Program provides a learning environment for those who seek to acquire knowledge and skill in order to bring about meaningful social change in individuals, groups, communities, and society in accordance with democratic principles of civil, social, political, and economic justice. The program is directed toward providing grounding in the fundamental generalist skills, knowledge, and values of social work, such as critical thinking, clarification of personal values, awareness of diversity, professional use of self, and communication and interpersonal relationship skills. Correspondingly, the mission of the program is to prepare social workers for beginning practice in a diverse society that has been unable to meet the needs of a vast segment of its people and to equip students with the knowledge and skills essential to the general tasks of promoting social welfare in institutions such as education, health, employment, housing, and criminal justice. The program is committed to enhance the quality of life in Utah, the nation, and the world through service learning, leadership development, research, and extension; and is reflective of the fundamental need to adjust social institutions to the democratic and egalitarian ideals of both the university and the social work profession. Social Work at Utah State University recognizes the historic importance of social welfare in balancing the country’s economic and social structure. The program is committed to the realization of the goals of the American people, through recognized practice principles of the social work profession, and to the

The program endeavors to prepare students for advanced standing in graduate professional programs and to provide a solid academic base for continuing education. To accomplish this, the program is designed to facilitate the development of the profession’s knowledge, values, and skills and provide a well-rounded liberal arts educational foundation, good study habits, written and oral communication skills, and the ability to think critically. The program also endeavors to maintain a campus environment which will foster a sense of community and social responsibility, as well as responsible citizenship in the areas of service and research. To accomplish this, the program provides opportunities for service learning, social development, and educational research forums through the state-affiliated National Association of Social Workers student organization and the Social Work Phi Alpha Honor Society.

Licensure In the State of Utah, graduates with a bachelor's degree in Social Work are eligible to be licensed upon graduation as social service workers. Students may obtain further information on licensure from: Department of Commerce Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing 160 East 300 South PO Box 45802 Salt Lake City UT 84145-0802 (801) 530-6628

Social Work Major Liberal Arts Foundation. All students pursuing an undergraduate degree at Utah State University must meet requirements designed to assure a broad, solid liberal arts foundation. Cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary perspectives are vital to a student’s development as a social worker. The University Studies program, which is described in detail in this catalog (see pages

Sociology, Social Work and Anthropology 429

56-63), is required of all majors. Majors are expected to take Stat 1040 to fulfill the quantitative literacy requirement for University Studies. In addition to fulfilling University Studies requirements, majors will need to complete specific liberal arts courses, listed in the Social Work Program requirements, some of which fulfill both University Studies and Social Work Program requirements. Social Work majors must complete Stat 1040 and Soc 3120 to graduate.

Program Admission Requirements. The following regulations apply for admission to the Social Work Program: (1) New freshmen admitted to USU in good standing qualify for admission to the Social Work Major. (2) Transfer students from other institutions must obtain a minimum overall GPA of 2.5 and a minimum overall GPA of 2.75 in social work classes. (Refer to the USU Social Work Program Transfer of Credit Policy.) (3) Students transferring from other USU majors must complete the Social Work Major course of study and must obtain a minimum overall GPA of 2.5 and a minimum overall GPA of 2.75 in social work classes. (4) Students must apply for and meet criteria for advanced standing, in order to continue on in upper-division social work practice courses and field practicum courses. (5) Students are responsible for reviewing and knowing the requirements for the Social Work degree. (6) All courses required for the Social Work degree must be taken for a letter grade.

Social Work Major. Students may declare Social Work as their major at any time. All course offerings in social work are open to all Social Work majors, with the exception of the practice courses (SW 3050, 4150, and 4160) and the field practicum courses (SW 4870 and 5870), which require admission to advanced standing. Social work students are expected to take courses in sequence, in order to have the professional foundation knowledge required for each class. Maintenance of a high grade point average is important as students progress through the major and continue on to graduate school. Requirements for the Social Work major are as follows: First year: SW 1050, FHD 1500 (BSS), Engl 1010 (CL), Biol 1010 (BLS), Soc 1010 (BSS), Psy 1010 (BSS), Stat 1040 (QL), and Anth 1010 (BSS). Second year: Engl 2010 (CL), SW 2400, 2500, and one elective enrichment course. Apply for advanced standing. Third year: SW 3050, 4100, 4150, 4160, Soc 3120, and two elective enrichment courses. Apply for practicum. Fourth year: SW 4870, 5350 (CI), and 5870.

Procedures for Advanced Standing in the Social Work Major. In order to be considered for advanced standing, students must turn in a completed application form by March 5 of the academic year. Applications for admission can be obtained in the Social Work office, Main 239. At the end of spring semester, when the criteria for advanced standing has been met, eligible students will be ranked according to their grade point average, personal statement, performance on the advanced placement test, and faculty evaluation. The highest ranking students will receive advanced standing, which will allow them to enroll in upper-division practice courses. Only those students who have completed first- and second-year requirements by the end of spring semester of the application year will be considered for advanced standing. The primary reasons for this evaluation are: (1) to maintain a high-quality educational experience for students in upper-division practice courses, and (2) to maintain the status

of full accreditation by the Council on Social Work Education. Students will receive notification of acceptance in May of the application year. Those students who do not receive advanced standing, and are therefore not allowed to enroll in upper-division practice courses, may return the following year to retake courses to improve their GPA and reapply for advanced standing. To be considered for advanced standing, students must meet the following minimum criteria: 1. Completion of the following courses with a C or better: FHD 1500 (BSS); Engl 1010 (CL), 2010 (CL); Anth 1010 (BSS); Biol 1010 (BLS); Soc 1010 (BSS); Psy 1010 (BSS); and SW 2400, 2500. 2. Completion of SW 1050 with a grade of C+ or better. 3. Junior status (61-90 credits) upon application. 4. Maintenance of a minimum overall GPA of 2.5 and a minimum GPA of 2.75 in social work classes. 5. No Pass-D-Fail grades in courses required for the major. Students should also be aware that if there is any personal data, such as that included on the application for state licensure, which indicates a potential threat to the public safety and welfare, a student may be denied advanced standing in the program. Students turned down for advanced standing will be assisted in finding a more suitable major. To maintain advanced standing and eligibility for graduation as a Social Work Major, a student: (1) must obtain a B- or better in SW 3050, 4150, and 4160; (2) must have completed SW 1050 with a C+ or better; (3) must maintain a minimum overall GPA of 2.5 or better and a minimum 2.75 GPA in the Social Work Major; (4) must receive a grade of C or better in all other courses required for the major; (5) must not repeat more than once, to improve a grade, any course required for the major; and (6) must not receive a Pass-D-Fail grade for any course required for the major.

Procedures for Admission to Field Practicum. Students must complete 480 clock hours of supervised field practicum and integrative seminar coursework. The field practicum courses are SW 4870 (Beginning Field Practicum) and SW 5870 (Advanced Field Practicum). Students may register for SW 4870 only after making application with the practicum director. Application must be made during the spring semester of the academic year prior to enrollment in the practicum, and is due by February 20. Applications are available in Main 239. No applications for the practicum will be accepted from students who will not complete all required coursework by the end of spring semester.

The following are eligibility criteria for admission to the field practicum: 1. Senior status (92-120 credits completed) by the end of the spring semester in which the student applies . Only those students who are candidates for the baccalaureate degree in social work may be admitted to the field practicum. 2. Completion of University Studies program (including Depth Education requirements) and all social work courses, with the exceptions of SW 4100 and 5350. 3. A grade of B- or better in SW 3050, 4150, and 4160.

430 Sociology, Social Work and Anthropology

4. A grade of C or better in all courses required for the major and a grade of C+ or better in SW 1050. 5. No Pass-D-Fail grades received in courses required for the major. 6. Demonstration of appropriate professional, moral, and ethical character, and must abide by the National Association of Social Work (NASW) code of ethics. 7. Maintenance of an overall minimum GPA of 2.5 and a 2.75 minimum GPA in the Social Work Major. Students should also be aware that if there is any personal data, such as that included on the application for state licensure, which indicates a potential threat to the public safety and welfare, a student may be denied continuation in the program. If a student is denied admission to the practicum, the faculty will review his or her file upon request. Students entering the practicum cannot ordinarily begin their placement earlier than the start of fall semester. If they do so, this practice falls outside of the Social Work Programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility, and any accrued hours will not count toward the practicum. Students entering the field practicum are strongly encouraged to join the NASW and be involved in the NASW Student Program Unit.

Transfer of Credit Policy. Students who transfer to the USU Social Work Program are required to complete an application for transfer credit. Students may substitute certain social work classes taken at other Council of Social Work Education (CSWE) accredited programs for USU courses. Approval must be sought from the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advisor. When petitioning for a substitution, the student is responsible to meet with an advisor and fill out a transfer of credit form, available in Main 239. Social work courses taken ten or more years ago cannot ordinarily serve as substitutes. Courses taken in a department or program not accredited by the CSWE cannot ordinarily serve as substitutes for the USU Social Work courses unless they have been covered in an articulation agreement. The following regulations apply to transfer students: (1) A transfer credit application, with official transcripts from all institutions previously attended, must be submitted. (2) The transcripts must reflect a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) and a 2.75 GPA in all social work courses. (3) The credentials of students seeking transfer to the Utah State University Social Work Program will be evaluated on an individual basis. (4) University Studies Depth Education requirements must be completed by all students, including transfer students who have earned an associate degree. The following courses, or their equivalents, will be considered for transfer credit: SW 1050; Stat 1040 (QL); FHD 1500 (BSS); Engl 1010 (CL), 2010 (CL); Anth 1010 (BSS); Biol 1010 (BLS); Soc 1010 (BSS); Psy 1010 (BSS); and SW 2400, 2500. Students transferring from junior colleges will be required to apply for advanced standing and take upper-division social work courses at USU. Only those social work courses taken within the last ten years will be considered. Students transferring credits from CSWE accredited programs must apply for advanced standing and take SW 4150 (Practice II), SW 4160 (Practice III), SW 5350 (CI) (Social Welfare Policy), SW 4870 (Beginning Field Practicum), and SW 5870 (Advanced Field Practicum) with the USU Social Work Program.

During the month of March, Social Work faculty members will review applications for advanced standing, to qualify students to enroll in upper-division practice classes. Advanced standing is based on the following criteria: (1) completion of FHD 1500 (BSS); Engl 1010 (CL), 2010 (CL); Anth 1010 (BSS); Biol 1010 (BLS); Soc 1010 (BSS); Psy 1010 (BSS); and SW 2400, 2500 with a grade of C or better; (2) completion of SW 1050 with a grade of C+ or better; (3) junior status (61-90 credits) upon application; (4) maintenance of a minimum overall GPA of 2.5 and a minimum GPA of 2.75 in social work classes; and (5) no Pass-D-Fail grades received in courses required for the major. Students transferring to USU should obtain and complete a copy of the social work advanced standing application and send the application to the Social Work Program by March 5, prior to the fall semester in which they intend to transfer. Students transferring to USU should be advised that social work education is a professional program, having the purpose of preparing competent and effective social work professionals. Coursework is based upon a specific body of knowledge, values, and professional skills. Therefore, if students have not completed the required criteria for advanced standing, completion of their educational program could take additional time.

Social Work Student Organizations The Social Work Program recognizes the importance of students having opportunities to learn and socialize outside of the classroom. Students are encouraged to be become involved with the NASW student organization, as well as the USU Social Work Program Phi Alpha Honor Society. Information is available in Main 239.

Anthropology Program Director: Bonnie Glass-Coffin Program Office: Main 245, (435) 797-0219; or Main 224, (435) 797-1230 Anthropology is the integrated study of humans in all their aspects. It offers a broad framework for understanding humans as individuals and as members of widely varying societies through courses dealing with the biological evolution of humans, prehistoric culture change, and present diversity of cultures and human types. Two parallel goals of the discipline are to explore and develop an appreciation for human diversity and the shared legacy of our common humanity. Anthropology includes the following subspecialties: cultural anthropology, biological anthropology, archaeology, and linguistics. Major requirements are designed to encourage broad exploration across anthropology, and students who major in anthropology examine a wide range of peoples and cultures, both past and present. They examine lifeways as different as the hunter-gatherers of Ice-Age Europe, tribal horticulturalists of lush interior Amazonia, and the diverse ethnic neighborhoods of modern U.S. cities. They explore both the biological and cultural basis of human behavior, and examine how it is manifested in individuals and groups. Anthropology courses use both scientific and humanistic approaches to the study of humankind, in all its complexity. Courses emphasize critical reasoning, oral and written communication skills, and the expansion of thinking beyond the familiar.

Sociology, Social Work and Anthropology 431

The contemporary social science student lives in a world of diminishing cultural and national barriers. In this setting, a major in anthropology can lead to a wide variety of careers. Anthropologists are on the staff of leading medical, business, law, public affairs, and other professional schools, and have played critical roles in international ventures, public health programs, community development activities, and minority and migrant social actions. Additionally, anthropology serves applied interests in international development, archaeology and cultural resource management, cross-cultural health care, and osteology/forensics. With firsthand experience in every region of the country and around the world, anthropologists bring a unique understanding of specific social and ethnic groups and of the biological, ecological, and cultural factors that influence human behavior. Special features of the anthropology program include smaller courses, individualized attention, opportunities for laboratory, museum, and field work, and the opportunity of working in teaching assistant positions. All these features give anthropology majors choice and experiences unavailable to undergraduates in most programs. The Anthropology Museum and the Archaeology Field School provide additional hands-on learning opportunities. Anthropology participates in the Department of Geology emphasis in Geoarchaeology, the American Studies Program, and the Folklore Program in the Department of English. Anthropology leads to a variety of “real-world” jobs. Anthropology graduates are: lawyers, nurses, health care administrators, travel consultants, teachers of all kinds, cultural resource professionals, agency and program administrators, and technical writers. They work for museums, government land management, environmental and foreign service agencies, Indian tribes, and are common in both the government and private sectors of the environmental-cultural heritage protection industry. They can be found in public and private foundations, bureaus, and agencies for the arts, humanities, sciences, and tourism. Graduate study in anthropology opens the world of practicing anthropology. Not limited to college teaching, anthropologists with graduate degrees can be found in a variety of private sector and government agency positions. For students seeking a dual major, an Anthropology major can complement a major in American Studies, Biology, Geology, Geography, History, Languages, and Political Science. It also pairs well with majors in Natural Resources, because cultural resource and Native American issues are important to many positions in private firms and government agencies concerned with land management and the environment.

Students majoring in anthropology must maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA in anthropology courses. A grade of C or better must be attained in courses counted for the major, including foreign language and statistics courses. In addition, majors must: (1) complete the general requirements of the University in consultation with the student’s advisor; (2) complete the following required courses: Anth 1010, 1020, 1030, 3990; (3) choose a minimum of six credits from: Anth 2100, 3110, 3150, 3160, 4110, 4120, 4130, 5100, 5120, 5160; (4) choose a minimum of six credits from: Anth 3200, 3250, 4250, 5210; (5) choose a minimum of six credits from: Anth 3170, 3300, 3310, 3350, 4350, 4360, 5300, 5310; and (6) choose a minimum of one course from: Anth 4250, 4350, 5650, 5990.

Students planning to receive a BS degree must complete Stat 1040 (Introduction to Statistics), and one course having a Quantitative Intensive (QI) University Studies designation. Anthropology majors are encouraged to complete both the foreign language and statistics requirements. Minor Requirements. A minimum of 18 credits is required for the anthropology minor. A minimum of 12 anthropology credits counting toward the minor must be Utah State University courses. Credits from distance and residence center courses are subject to departmental approval for application toward the anthropology minor. Students must maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA in anthropology courses. A grade of C or better must be attained in courses counting toward the minor. The following courses are required for the anthropology minor: Anth 1010, 1020, 1030 (9 credits). In addition, students must complete three upper-division (3000-5000 level) courses (9 credits) in anthropology, excluding Anth 5210 (Physical Anthropology Lab), Anth 5310 (Archaeology Lab), and Anth 5900 (Independent Studies).

Sociology Graduate Program

Methods component. Majors must complete one “Methods” course. The course chosen to meet this requirement may also count toward other anthropology major requirements.

Students must have scores on the verbal and quantitative portions of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) at or above the 40th percentile. TOEFL scores are required for international candidates, with a minimum score of 600 deemed acceptable. The Test of Spoken English (TSE) is also strongly recommended, with a minimum score of 50 deemed acceptable. International applicants who are admitted without having taken the TSE will be required to take a test of spoken English fluency administered by the Intensive English Language Institute (IELI) at Utah State University prior to beginning their first semester in the Sociology Graduate Program. Dependent upon the test results, the student may be required to complete a program of English language training during the first semester of residence in the graduate program. For consideration for admission to the MSS degree program, applicants may submit either GRE or Miller Analogies Test scores.

A minimum of 16 credits of the anthropology course credits counting toward the major must be Utah State University courses. Credits from distance and residence center courses are subject to departmental approval for application toward the anthropology major.

Applications are screened throughout the year by the Graduate Program Executive Committee. No applications will be considered until all required information arrives in the School of Graduate Studies or a formal petition to review a nearly-complete file is made and approved.

Major Requirements. A minimum of 33 credits is required for the anthropology major. All students must take four required courses, including a three-semester sequence in the basic areas of anthropology and a beginning upper-division level course in the history of anthropology. The anthropology major also requires exposure across the breadth of the discipline. To achieve this, students select courses from topical and area clusters at the upper-division levels and a final capstone course. Additional graduation requirements include:

432 Sociology, Social Work and Anthropology

Students with or without an undergraduate degree in sociology may enter the master’s degree program. However, before matriculating, basic competencies in sociology that have not been acquired through prior courses or experience must be satisfied. Students entering the doctoral program must complete master’s level prerequisites in sociological theory and research methods and statistics.

PhD in Sociology In addition to coursework in sociological theory and methods, students are expected to concentrate in two of the following specialty areas. Specialty areas are distinct, but are also highly integrative. One line of integration involves the department’s continuing emphasis on Rural Sociology, which links elements of all four specialty areas. The program is sufficiently flexible to permit students with a strong interest in an area other than the established specialty areas to elect that area as an emphasis area, rather than having a second specialization, with approval of the supervisory committee and the department head or his or her delegated representative. In this case, the student would select a series of courses in that area in consultation with his or her supervisory committee and the department head or his or her delegated representative. Demography. The demography area of specialization is administered through the Population Research Laboratory. The orientation is twofold: (1) basic and policy-oriented research on sociological aspects of demographic structure and processes, including migration, marriage and fertility, morbidity, and mortality; and technical demographic topics such as population estimates and projections; and (2) the provision of demographic training to domestic and international students relevant to their respective settings. Research endeavors encompass a broad range of local, regional, national, and international projects in the areas of migration and population redistribution, family demography, life course and aging, health and disability, labor force, and population estimates and projections. Graduate coursework is provided in social demography, population theories and policy, and demographic methods, as well as through various special topic seminars. Social Problems. The social problems area is a specialization focused on theoretical and research-related issues relevant to a range of topics currently defined as “social problems.” Students will find a good deal of flexibility in the program, allowing them to pursue special interests. The faculty members affiliated with this specialty area are actively involved in social problems research. A number of themes are emphasized in each of the specific content courses for the social problems area. For example: How are social problems defined? What identifiable interest groups are involved in defining social problems? How do responses to social problems vary across time, place, and group? Examples of specific content courses this area may include are: criminal justice, aging, gender, race and ethnic relations, mental health, sexuality, social change, stratification, science and technology, medicine, and work. Environmental Sociology/Sociology of Natural Resources. The faculty in this area maintain an active research involvement in a wide variety of areas, such as natural resource development, land use changes, public participation in environmental planning, hazardous facility siting, recreation, risk assessment, population/environment relationships, public land management issues,

and natural resource policy. Faculty have been engaged in cooperative research ventures with engineering, natural resource sciences, and other physical and social sciences faculty. Graduate curricula offerings are focused on the sociology of natural resources, environmental sociology, population and environment, and social risk analysis. Sociology of Development. This specialization focuses on both domestic and international issues. Two major goals of the program are to give students the conceptual and analytic foundations to understand development, and to convey specific skills required for effective performance in applied fields. The basic curriculum includes courses covering a broad range of topics related to processes in local, national, and international development, including rural sociology, international development, women and development, applied anthropology, and economic development. Core Courses. The core courses for the PhD degree in Sociology include Soc 7010, 7100, and 7110.

MS and MA in Sociology The main objective of this degree program is to provide a firm foundation in sociological theory and methods. Students also have the opportunity to take electives in any of the departmental specialty areas or outside the department. Core Courses. The core courses for this degree include Soc 6010, 6020, 6100, and 6150. The ability to utilize a statistical package (or permission of instructor) is a prerequisite to Soc 6150. Such competence may be gained by taking Stat 4910 (SPSS Shortcourse, 1 credit) or Stat 4920 (SAS Shortcourse, 1 credit).

MSS Sociology Specialization This specialization enables interdisciplinary training in three related disciplines. The program requires a minimum of 35 credits, including 17 credits in a major discipline (Sociology); and either (1) a minimum of 9 credits in each of two minors or (2) a minimum of 9 credits in a minor and a minimum of 9 credits in a cluster. Two credits for the Plan B paper are included in the minimum 17 credits in Sociology. A minimum overall GPA of 3.0 is required. This is an applied degree. Individual options and plans of study can be arranged in consultation with the student’s supervisory committee. At present, the degree is available with an emphasis in International Rural and Community Development. International Rural and Community Development. This emphasis is designed to prepare administrators, planners, and researchers for work in international settings. The emphasis is on social and community factors in development. The interdisciplinary curriculum in sociology of development, rural sociology, economic anthropology, political science, and the economics of development has been specifically designed to prepare practitioners and leaders for careers in applied social development. The coursework can be adapted to the individual career interest of each student. The program involves students both from abroad and from the United States. Core Courses. Individualized programs of study are prepared with the cooperation of the student and supervisory committee.

Sociology, Social Work and Anthropology 433

Research The graduate program’s research agenda is focused within the framework of the department’s specialty areas. Since the areas are integrative, research tends to involve collaborative participation by several faculty members. Several active research projects are supported by the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station. Research is conducted at various levels, including international, national, regional, and state. The department houses two active research units, the Institute for Social Science Research on Natural Resources, and the Population Research Laboratory. Faculty play key roles in several interdisciplinary research units, including the Institute for Rural and Community Development and the Women and Gender Research Institute. Graduate program faculty are frequently involved in the research activities of other research units on campus, including the Center for Persons with Disabilities, the Utah Water Research Laboratory, the Mountain West Center for Regional Studies, and the International Irrigation Center.

Financial Assistance Both departmental support and formal research grant support are available to graduate students and are awarded on a competitive basis. Some highly qualified departmental graduate students are also nominated to compete for University fellowships. Students who wish to be considered for financial aid must submit applications by February 1 for the coming academic year. Financial aid forms are available from the Department of Sociology, Social Work and Anthropology. Late applications are considered only if additional funds are still available. Teaching assistantships are available through the department. Research assistantships are available through faculty members who have ongoing projects with the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station or who have research grants from the University, private companies, and federal or state agencies.

Career Opportunities Traditionally, persons with advanced degrees in sociology have been employed in college and university settings. Recent evidence has shown a greater variety of career paths. A survey conducted by the American Sociological Association showed that 21 percent of sociologists holding the doctoral degree were employed in the private sector; 31 percent were working in the nonprofit sector; 46 percent were working in federal, state, or local government agencies; and 12 percent were self-employed. USU sociology graduates have followed this pattern of diversity. They have secured appointments in a variety of academic, governmental, and private settings, both domestic and abroad. A sizeable number have achieved key leadership positions and high visibility in the profession.

Core Courses. All Theatre Arts majors are required to complete the following core courses: Thea 1000, 1210, 1400, 1500, 2410, 3230. Entering and transfer students must complete a noncredit theatre orientation seminar. In addition, all students must complete a minimum of 5 credits of production practicum work. Theatre Arts Bachelor of Arts Degree General Theatre Arts Studies Program (59 credits). Requirements are as follows: core courses and production work (20 credits); performance courses (9 credits); design/technical courses (3 credits); dramatic literature/history courses (15 credits); university minor (12 credits). To obtain a Bachelor of Arts degree, a student must fulfill the foreign language requirement (see page 53). All students enter in this degree program. Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree Program Entrance Requirements. Students seeking the BFA degree who choose the Acting Program or the Theatre Design and Technology Program will be admitted by audition or an interview and portfolio review. Periodic audition and review will be undertaken to assure good standing in these programs. This degree is recommended for those students desiring more intensive preprofessional training in the discipline. It requires students to demonstrate a comprehensive mastery of acquired abilities in their emphasis area through periodic review of skills. Students in these programs also complete a capstone recital or project during their senior year. Acting Program (72 credits). Candidates are accepted into this performance program through an audition and interview conducted by a BFA committee. Progress is monitored through periodic recitals/auditions before the same body, and students must normally maintain good status in the program for a minimum of two years. Transfer students are subject to the same acceptance process and progress review. Inquiries about specific requirements and expectations should be directed to the Theatre Arts Office. Students seeking the BFA degree must work closely with advisors. Most University Studies courses and the core curriculum should be completed before the end of the sophomore year, as training is conducted in a manner adapted from conservatory practice. Individual needs, interests, and goals of the student are taken into consideration for selection of elective courses. The department maintains an updated course of study to aid the student in selecting courses in recommended sequence for the first two years of study. A student handbook describing the procedures is also available; these are designed to assist students who are presenting recitals, directing one-act productions, and preparing other projects. Theatre Design and Technology Program (70 credits). Candidates are accepted into the design and technology program by interview and review of a portfolio by a BFA committee. The policies and recommendations for the acting program also apply to this program. Students may further specialize in costume design, lighting design, scenic design, stage management/technician, or theatre technology. Theatre Education Program (34 credits). Candidates are accepted into the theatre education program by interview and a review of a portfolio by the theatre education committee. Requirements are as follows: core courses (15 credits); performance/directing courses (3 credits); theatre education/language arts courses

(6 credits); design/technical courses (4 credits); theatre history/literature courses (3 credits); performance and production practicum courses (3 credits). Students earning a secondary education license must complete 35 additional credits in the Secondary Teacher Education Program (STEP), as well as an academic minor approved by the College of Education. All majors desiring a teaching license must apply for admission to teacher education; it is recommended that this be done no later than the beginning of the sophomore year. Theatre Arts Teaching Minor (20 credits) Candidates are accepted into the theatre education program by interview and a review of a portfolio by the theatre education committee. Requirements are as follows: core courses (15 credits); production or performance practicum courses (2 credits); theatre education/language arts courses, Thea 4330 or 4340 (3 credits). The requirements for this academic minor must be approved and monitored by the College of Education. Academic Minor in Theatre Arts Generally, a student interested in a theatre arts minor will complete the core course requirements (see above). Production Responsibilities Because the production programs of the department are some of the most important training tools of the discipline, all majors and teaching minors are required to participate in them. A permanent theatre participation record is maintained for each student, and successful completion of crew and performance assignments is a requirement for graduation. As a capstone experience to their university careers, all majors in their senior year are required to complete a project or recital appropriate to their area of emphasis; except those in the General Theatre Studies BA program, who complete a minor.

Financial Support Scholarships, grants-in-aid, and work-study opportunities are available through the University. In addition, the department offers talent awards and tuition scholarships to its own majors. These are generally for one or two semesters of in-state tuition and may be renewed by reapplication for continuing students. Several auditions and interviews are scheduled during the year, both on-campus and at regional theatre conferences and festivals. The department offers special work grants through its production program for qualified, skilled students. There are a number of named scholarships awarded to students qualifying under specific conditions. See the Financial Aid and Scholarship Information section of this catalog (pages 35-37) for more information.

Graduate Programs Admission Requirements All students making application to the MFA program who cannot audition or interview with a member of the theatre arts faculty must submit a resume and a portfolio with renderings, designs, photographs appropriate to the specialization, and any special letters of reference not included with the formal application to the School of Graduate Studies.

The Miller Analogies Test (MAT) may be substituted for the more standard GRE, although the department does not recommend the MAT for international students. Students who have received their undergraduate training at other institutions or in a discipline other than theatre will be expected to meet a proficiency equivalent to that of USU Theatre Arts graduates. This may require the student to complete the following minimum 20-credit program, which will not count toward the graduate degree: Thea 1400, 1500, 2410, 3230; 3 credits of Thea 4750; and 6 credits of elective Theatre Arts courses in one program area. The student will be given credit for any equivalent courses taken within seven years prior to the date of admission. Students accepted into the program must begin during the fall semester. The nature of the discipline and the program require that students maintain a continuous residence at the campus during the first two years of study.

Master of Arts The candidate for the 30 (minimum) credit MA degree will normally complete a thesis, but may, with the approval of the supervisory committee, present a thesis alternative Plan B (36 credits minimum required). Required courses (30 credits). Requirements are as follows: Thea 6010, 6180, 6240, 6270; two advanced dramatic literature courses selected from the Theatre Arts, English, or Languages and Philosophy departments; three 5000- or 6000-level Thea courses, two of which must be in a single area; and up to 8 credits of Thea 6970 (Thesis). Under special circumstances, a Plan B option in this program is available, requiring 12 credits of special project work and no more than 3 credits of Thea 6970, for a total of 36 credits minimum. In addition, the standard foreign language competency of 15 credits in one language is required for the MA degree (see page 77).

Master of Fine Arts The candidate for the 60 (minimum) credit MFA must complete the Plan B program, and will undertake from three to five creative projects in the appropriate specialization. Under this plan, the required project reports customarily take the form of production books, journals, or a design or technical portfolio. The normal residency is six semesters, including one or two summers in an established repertory or stock company or equivalent intern experience. Participation in the department’s summer Old Lyric Repertory Company in Logan, Utah, satisfies this requirement. The nature of the discipline discourages credit by extension, large amounts of transfer credit, or numerous off-campus projects. Required Courses. The program is completed in three phases, and while there may be considerable overlap between them, students undergo formal reviews before advancing to the next phase. The number of semesters given is approximate. First and Second Semester—Entry Phase. Requirements are as follows: fall semester: Thea 6010, 6180, 6800; spring semester: Thea 6240, 6270, and advanced courses in the area of specialization. Upon or during completion of this phase, the student will: (1) submit a petition to advance to the next phase; (2) identify two to four projects for the next phase; and (3) nominate a supervisory

MFA committee of at least three members for submission to the department head. A communication proficiency examination will be conducted at the conclusion of Thea 6180 when the student presents his or her project to the Graduate Study Committee. All of the above coursework (with the exception of the BA proficiency requirement, as necessary) must be completed, with grades recorded, prior to entry into the next phase. A full-time student entering in the fall semester who does not complete the Entry Phase by the following summer will be subject to termination. Second to Fifth Semester—Project Phase. During this phase, the student must complete two courses in advanced dramatic literature, along with additional advanced courses in the area of specialization; must complete a cognate skill, consisting of the equivalent of 10 semester credits outside the department, to develop a skill or increase knowledge in a field related to the specialization, subject to approval by the advisor and Graduate Study Committee; must participate in the summer Old Lyric Repertory Company (4 credits, repeatable) or its equivalent in a recognized stock or repertory program, with a letter of satisfactory performance from the company director submitted to the department; and must complete two to four projects in the field of specialization (approximately 6-12 credits). Upon completion of this phase, the student will: (1) submit a petition to advance to the final phase, the date of this depending upon individual progress; (2) submit proof that projects and the written reports for them have been completed; and (3) submit a proposal and/or preliminary work for a major or culminating project: renderings, preliminary working drawings, blocking script, and so forth. Fifth and Sixth Semester—Culminating Phase. Requirements are as follows: Thea 6920 (4 credits), 6970; execution of a final, culminating project; a maximum of 3 thesis credits, taken to complete all reports; and completion of two to four additional 5000- or 6000-level elective courses. Note: Whenever possible, graduate projects are proposed and executed as part of the Utah State Theatre artistic season. The option to cancel a student project or to allow work to proceed, but disqualify it as an MFA project based upon insufficient preparation or validity, rests with the Graduate Study Committee, the student’s supervisory committee chairperson (advisor), and the executive producer of Utah State Theatre. This rule is designed to protect the integrity of the production priorities of the department. Upon completion of this phase, the student will: (1) assemble the supervisory committee for a final review in a defense of the student’s graduate work; and (2) file a complete copy of all Plan B reports with the department, in accordance with the procedures of the School of Graduate Studies.

Financial Assistance Teaching and general assistantships are awarded by the department. Assistantships are generally in the area of production, depending on theatre needs and the skills of applying students, and are renewable for up to three years. Application should be made directly to the department by February 1. Graduate students are not guaranteed financial assistance during their initial year of residence. In addition, several other grants and forms of support are available on a competitive basis.

Career Opportunities The MA degree is a general, nonterminal degree designed to train students for further doctoral work in the discipline and to serve as a career upgrade for secondary school teachers. Students interested in teaching dramatic literature and theatre history and criticism at the postsecondary level should plan to use the MA as a step toward further PhD studies. A few two-year colleges employ MA graduates in teaching positions; however, almost no four-year colleges do so. The MFA is designed for students pursuing careers in educational, professional, and regional theatres, or, in some cases, further doctoral-level work. It is regarded by most university and college administrations as a terminal degree for individuals with academic appointments as acting coaches, designers, and technicians. The department makes no guarantee that its training will qualify its graduates to pass examinations administered by the theatrical trade unions or otherwise meet their requirements for membership. MFA graduates are qualified to seek employment with regional and professional theatres, regardless of the guild or trade union status of these organizations.

Graduate Programs

Major Research Areas

Established in 1963, USUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Interdepartmental Graduate Program in Toxicology is one of the first degree-granting graduate toxicology programs in the country. More than 130 students have received MS and PhD degrees in a research-intensive interdisciplinary environment. Students affiliate with the program through one of several departments: Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Sciences (ADVS); Biology; Chemistry and Biochemistry; Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE); or Plants, Soils, and Biometeorology (PSB). The Utah Water Research Laboratory and the USDA Poisonous Plants Laboratory also provide facilities and research projects for study. A specialization in toxicology/molecular biology is available.

Molecular and Biochemical Toxicology. Modern molecular biological techniques are used to determine the mechanisms of toxicity and carcinogenesis by examining how various natural and synthetic compounds interact with DNA. Resultant mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes are being investigated. The mechanisms of free-radical toxicity, specifically by iron and other transition elements, are also important research topics. Other ongoing studies examine the mechanisms of cancer chemoprevention, chemical metabolism, effects of toxicants on macromolecular syntheses, and metabolic intermediates. The toxicity of poisonous plants is another program emphasis.

Admission Requirements Students with a degree in life sciences, physical science, medical science, or engineering and with adequate preparation in chemistry, biology, physics, and/or mathematics are eligible. Admission to the program requires compliance with the general admission requirements of the University, a faculty sponsor, and acceptance into the sponsoring professorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home department. Applicants should have a GPA of 3.5 or higher from completed degree programs. The GRE exam is required, and a score above the 55th percentile for the verbal, quantitative, and analytical sections is desirable. International students must receive a score of 600 or higher on the TOEFL exam.

Environmental Toxicology. Utah State University has a comprehensive research program in several aspects of environmental toxicology. Specifically, Utah State University faculty pioneered the use of white-rot fungi for the biodegradation of environmental contaminants. Models are developed and tested for dealing with the migration of chemicals in the environment, especially those with potential routes for human exposure. Basic biological, chemical, and physical methods are explored for hazardous waste management programs.

Course Requirements Students in the MS program are required to complete the following core courses: ADVS 6350, 6400, 6600*, 6810; Chem 5700, 5710; Stat 5200.

Fuller The Intercollegiate Athletics program at Utah State University encourages excellence in academic and athletic performance. The program is designed to develop qualities of leadership, sportsmanship, and individuality, helping each student-athlete to realize his or her ultimate capabilities. Utah State’s Intercollegiate Athletics operates under the direction of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the Big West Conference, and Utah State University. The Aggies compete at the NCAA Division I Level in 15 sports, including football, women’s soccer, women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s basketball, men’s and women’s indoor track and field, women’s gymnastics, softball, men’s golf, men’s and women’s tennis, and men’s and women’s outdoor track and field. The Aggies have a storied history, gaining national attention in recent years in a number of different sports.

During the past 24 years, Utah State has won 32 Big West Conference championships, including a school record five during the 1997-98 school year. Since 1998, Aggie athletic success has continued with five more league titles, and the school’s last 10 conference championships have come in six different sports, including football, basketball, men’s track and field, women’s track and field, women’s cross-country and gymnastics. The Utah State football program has proved to be a breeding ground for NFL talent, sending numerous players to the professional ranks in recent years. Since 1980, more than 40 former Aggies have seen action in the NFL, along with a number of players who have played for Canadian Football League teams. The football team concluded its membership with the Big West Conference during the 2000 season with a 4-1 league mark, finishing in second place, just one win shy of its second league championship in four years. USU participated in the inaugural Humanitarian Bowl in 1997. During the 2001 season, Utah State played five teams that participated in postseason bowl games, including hosting Oregon, which finished the season ranked second in the country. Utah State’s basketball team posted back-to-back Big West Tournament championships during the 2000 and 2001 seasons and recorded the school’s first win in the NCAA Tournament in 31 years during the 2001 campaign. The Aggies posted consecutive 28-win seasons in 2000 and 2001, which were school records for wins, and posted a 36-3 record in the Big West Conference in that time period. Since 1970, the USU basketball team has competed in the NCAA Tournament 10 times, including 1998, 2000, and 2001, and the National Invitational Tournament three times, including the 1995 season. USU has won Big West Championships in three of the last four seasons (1998, 2000, and 2001). In the 2001 season, Utah State’s women’s volleyball program advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the second straight season and finished the year ranked 21st in the country with a 20-11 record. The Aggies won a national championship in 1978 and finished second in the country in 1979. USU’s gymnastics program, annually ranked among the nation’s best, has sent teams to NCAA regional competition 23 times in the last 24 years and advanced to the NCAA Championships five times. The Aggies won the Big West Conference in 2001 and now compete in the newly-founded Western Gymnastics Conference. The USU men’s outdoor track and field team has finished first or second at the Big West Championship in eight of the last nine years, while the cross-country team has finished among the top four for 10 straight years. These two programs have combined for eight league titles since 1992. On the women’s side, USU’s outdoor track and field team won seven straight Big West championships from 1993-1999, and has placed second in the league championships in each of the last two seasons. The women’s cross-country team has finished in the top

Intercollegiate Athletics 457

five in the conference for nine straight years, including a runner-up finish in 1997 and a league title in 1998. USU’s women’s soccer program began competition in 1996 and has shown solid improvement each year, tying for eighth in the Big West Conference this past season. The softball team competes in one of the nation’s toughest leagues and has finished among the top four in that league five of the last 10 years, including claiming a league title in 1993. The Aggies won national championships in 1980 and 1981. Utah State’s tennis program has continued to improve over recent years, as the men have finished in fifth place in the Big West Conference in each of the last two seasons, while the women’s team recorded its best-ever finish during the 2001 season, placing fifth at the league championships. USU’s golf team finished fourth at the 1997 Big West Championship, its best finish since 1981. While Utah State claimed one Big West Championship and two runner-up finishes in 2000-01, several Aggies made their mark individually. Three USU student-athletes earned athletic All-American honors, while 36 student-athletes were named to first-team all-conference in their respective sports and 10 were individual conference champions. In the classroom, USU produced a league-best 59 academic all-Big West honorees. In 2001, Rebekah Thornley, a member of the track team, picked up the Robbins Award as the entire school’s Scholar of the Year. Aggies earning athletic All-American honors during the 2000-01 academic year include Emmett White in football and James Parker and Dave Hoffman in outdoor track. The track teams saw Brett Guymon and Danielle Kot earn two Big West individual titles apiece, while other individual champions included Brick Bergeson, Amber Jensen, Jessica Owen, James Parker, Anthony Stewart and Rebekah Thornley. Softball had three players earn academic all-Big West honors, while tennis had five student-athletes named to that squad as well. The USU gymnastics program continued to have individual success, with five Aggies earning athletic all-Big West honors at the conference championships. The gymnastics team also excelled in the classroom with eight student-athletes receiving academic all-Big West honors. USU has a strong history of athletic success. Among these successful athletes is Merlin Olsen, who won the Outland Trophy awarded to the nation’s top lineman in 1961. Olsen, who was selected into the NFL Hall of Fame, was also an academic All-American. Merlin’s brother, Phil, was also an athletic All-American at Utah State and had great success in the NFL. USU has produced five Olympians and 27 All-Americans in track and field, including former world record holders L. Jay Silvester and Mark Enyeart. Jay Don Blake became USU’s first NCAA national champion in golf, winning the national title in 1980 and finishing second the following year. Aggie basketball boasts the legacy of Wayne Estes, an All-American in the early 1960s before his untimely death prior to the conclusion of his senior season. Three Aggie gymnasts have earned All-American honors and two others have represented their countries in the Olympics and World Championships. Seven different student-athletes have earned All-American honors in volleyball 12 times, and Elaine Roque and Karolyn Kirby have gone on to successful careers on the pro beach volleyball tour. The softball team has produced four All-Americans, including three-time All-American Kelly Smith. Participation. As a member of the Big West Conference, the Aggies play conference schedules in basketball, softball, and volleyball. The conference winner in these sports earns an automatic

bid to NCAA postseason play. In addition, conference championships are held in cross-country, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. The gymnastics team contends for post-season participation via the NCAA Regional Championships. Football participates as an NCAA Division I independent. USU’s gymnastics team is a member of the Western Conference, while USU’s indoor track and field teams compete in the Mountan Pacific Sports Federation. Intercollegiate Athletics Facilities. Excellent training and competition facilities are provided in all sports. E. L. “Dick” Romney Stadium, home of the Aggie football team for more than 30 years, seats 30,257 cheering fans each week during the season. In an effort to update the facility, a state-of-the-art lighting system was installed prior to the 1993 season, and chair-back seating was added ahead of the 1997 season. The 1999 season saw expanded seating, two new scoreboards, and an improved sound system. Future plans for Romney Stadium include expanding seating capacity to 40,000 seats and the construction of a multi-storied complex at the north end of the stadium to consolidate academic support to the student-athletes, as well as new coaches’ offices, strength and weight rooms, ticket sales, and locker and team rooms. Future plans also include the expansion of the press box with the installation of two elevators. Basketball, gymnastics, and volleyball are played in the beautiful 10,270-seat Dee Glen Smith Spectrum,which will see the addition of a $1.2 million scoreboard prior to the 2002-03 academic year. Basketball and volleyball practices are held in the Spectrum, while the HPER Building is the practice home for the gymnastics team. The recently renovated gymnastics practice gym has been labeled as one of the nation’s finest, complete with vaulting pits and foam-spring exercise floor. The $4.4 million Stan Laub Indoor Training Facility is one of the finest facilities in the nation. The building features a 95-yard football field that is regulation width and a vaulted ceiling that reaches 78 feet high. The building is perfect for off-season conditioning for all of Utah State’s sports. The Nelson Fieldhouse is the home of the Aggie indoor track and field teams. The teams practice on a 200-meter tartan track. For the outdoor season, a newly resurfaced and renovated Ralph Maughan Stadium is the home for the men’s and women’s track teams. The women’s softball team plays its home games at LaRee and LeGrand Johnson Field, a new on-campus facility, while the women’s soccer team also has a new facility, Aggie Field, which will host Aggie soccer games for the first time in the 2002 season. The tennis teams play on the HPER courts and at the Sports Academy, one of the finest indoor facilities in the West. The men's golf team practices and plays at the Birch Creek Golf Course and at the Logan Golf and Country Club. Scholarships. Utah State offers partial and full scholarships in each of the 15 sponsored sports. A student or prospective student desiring consideration for one of these awards may contact one of the coaches for further information about scholarship applications. Registration and Eligibility.

Cooperative Extension Service The Cooperative Extension Service is sponsored and financed jointly by federal, state, and county governments. There is a Cooperative Extension Service in the land-grant institution of each state. The main functions of the Cooperative Extension Service are to develop leadership, resourcefulness, and initiative; to supply factual information for discovering and solving problems; and to help people become more efficient, increase their income, improve their home and community environment, and raise their standard of living. University Extension takes the findings of research to the people of the state and brings unsolved problems back to research workers at the University. Extension programs are planned with the people. The demonstration method of teaching and mass media are used extensively. Group meetings, short courses, and publications are used to supply educational information. Administrative and some supervisory personnel and subject matter program leaders are located on the USU campus. In addition, a field staff consisting of regional department heads, area specialists, county faculty, and program aides serve the people throughout the state. The Extension program includes work with both adults and youth. Major program areas are centered around (1) agriculture, (2) 4-H and youth programs, (3) family life, (4) community resource development, (5) natural resources and environmental management, and (6) EFNEP (nutrition education for low-income families. Central in the function of University Extension is problem solving at the community level. Through research provided by the departments of the University, the community becomes a laboratory in the teaching-learning process. Community problems are extremely varied and complex. Consequently, University Extension educational programs designed to benefit the community require creativity and innovation of the colleges and departments according to their areas of competency. To carry out this function, Extension programs at Utah State University focus on the knowledge competencies from the appropriate disciplines on four broad areas of concern to people of Utah: physical environment, social environment, economic and industrial development, and education instructional services.

Continuing Education Programs During the past two decades, faculty and administration of the University have strengthened service to residents through the development of the Continuing Education Programs, a combination of advanced educational philosophy and educational practice. Continuing Education is a growing concept in higher educational philosophy. It recognizes that learning is necessary and takes place throughout oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, from adolescence through retirement. Continuing Education provides opportunities for professional or vocational learning, and also provides for lifelong enrichment through participation in social and cultural programs. Through such programs, persons of all ages are able to enrich their lives

and increase their knowledge without disrupting their employment or lifestyle. Kellogg Life Span Learning Complex. The W. K. Kellogg foundation and other private funding sources have made it possible to build three structures, centrally located on the campus, for Continuing Education Programs. The five-story University Inn is located in an area between the Taggart Student Center and the Agricultural Science Building. The 53,079 square foot, five-story facility contains 74 modern hotel rooms, two of which are suites, to house those who visit campus for a variety of programs. The 39,143 square foot, three-story Conference Center is located between the Agricultural Science Building and the Merrill Library. The spacious conference meeting rooms overlook the beautiful quad area near the intersection of the two major malls serving the campus. The facilities feature satellite uplink and downlink capabilities, Internet access in all meeting rooms, and state-of-the-art audiovisual presentation equipment. The conference facilities include 12 meeting rooms ranging from a 400-seat auditorium to small seminar rooms for 10 to 30 people. Administrative offices for Continuing Education Programs are also located in the Conference Center. Individuals and groups of all ages are encouraged to investigate this expanded resource of Utah State University as a means of pursuing their unique educational goals. Conference Services. The responsibility for conferences, short courses, symposiums, seminars, and institutes is vested in the Conference Services Office. The role of this office is to promote, coordinate, and administer conference programs in cooperation with faculty members of the various campus organizations and with individuals and groups outside the University. There are no limitations in terms of age or educational background on the clientele to be served through Conference Services. All that is required is a desire to learn. The scope of the program will be as broad as available knowledge resources will permit. Continuing learners may participate in educational activities for a variety of justifiable reasons, all of which relate to recognized needs for self-improvement, an appetite for intellectual stimulation through social interaction, or simply a desire to learn. Degree Programs A large number of people living in communities or areas remote from the University campus desire to benefit from university training but cannot come to Logan to register for resident courses. For this group, courses are made available to approximately 50 different communities of the state through on-site faculty, through visiting faculty, and via an interactive telecommunications system using digital satellite technology. In addition, some courses are available on the Internet, and others will be added. Such courses are offered by the respective academic departments. Off-campus credit courses are equivalent in content hours of class instruction and preparation, and otherwise meet the same prerequisites as comparable classes offered on the University campus. Classes may meet the requirements for a bachelor’s degree, as determined by the individual departments and colleges. They also may meet the requirements for a master’s degree with approval of the School of Graduate Studies. All instructors in credit courses are either members of the regular University teaching faculty officially assigned to the teaching project concerned or nonresident members approved by the head of the department and by the college administration. The registration fees charged for classes conform to regulations of the Board of Regents. Fees may not be less than the on-campus tuition and may be more if warranted by the additional expense of conducting the class off campus.

Independent Study Many individuals desire organized, systematic instruction but live in isolated areas, or for other reasons cannot meet for class instruction on the University campus or its resident centers. For such individuals, USU provides a liberal offering through a wide variety of Independent Study courses in many departments of the University. This program furnishes an excellent opportunity to students of high school or college level and to adults who desire general education and professional improvement in selected fields. For admission to Independent Study courses, an enrollee must be at least 19 years of age or a high school graduate, or must submit 15 credits of high school work. High school students demonstrating superior ability may enroll for University credit courses. As many as one-fourth of the credits necessary for a bachelor’s degree may be earned by completing Independent Study courses (30 semester credits). Each college of the University, subject to faculty approval, determines the nature and amount of Independent Study credit accepted for admission and graduation. In no case is Independent Study credit to comprise more than 25 percent of the total number of credits accepted for graduation. Independent Study courses are not accepted for graduate degrees. Independent Study Catalog. Anyone interested in Independent Study may request a catalog containing complete information concerning this program by writing to Independent and Distance Education, Utah State University, 3080 Old Main Hill, Logan UT 84322-3080, or phone (435) 797-2132. Evening School The Evening School provides a source of continuing education for those students unable to attend classes during the day. The classes and faculty are the same, and the credit is the same as if it were earned during the day. As a convenience to students, coursework has been combined into one class period per week. For example: students can take a three-credit course one evening a week, or one class Friday evening and one Saturday morning as part of the weekend college concept. Further information can be obtained by contacting the Evening School staff in room 102 of the Eccles Conference Center or by calling (435) 797-3104.

USU was among the first of the colleges and universities in the intermountain area to have a research program. Originally research was principally in agriculture. Now research projects span every college and virtually all departments of the University. Research is closely associated with teaching and student laboratory activities. Most research is conducted by faculty and staff members who are actively involved in teaching. Many graduate and undergraduate students are employed to assist in research. The experience thus gained by students is an important part of their education. Research affiliated with the University is under the general administration of the Vice President for Research. Actual research operations are conducted in colleges and departments and within the research units designated above. Research stipends are available for many graduate students within the several colleges and research units. Opportunities exist for multidisciplinary programs through such units as the Ecology Center, the Center for Atmospheric and Space Sciences, the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station, the Institute for Land Rehabilitation, the Center for Biotechnology, and the Center for Water Resources Research. There are numerous well-equipped laboratories such as the Utah Water Research Laboratory, the Space Dynamics Laboratory, the MS/GIS Laboratory, the Center for Persons with Disabilities, the many facilities of the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station, and in Biology and Natural Resources. Policies on research are reviewed by the University Research Council. Present members of the council and the area each represents are: Brent C. Miller, Chairman; M.

The policy of the University is to encourage and support research and all forms of creative, scholarly activities by faculty and staff members. Much of the research is supported by funds directly assigned to various administrative units of the University. Unrestricted funds for general support of research are administered through the Research Office.

The Research Office serves as a coordinating center for all research associated with the University. General policies and procedures pertaining to research and the promotion of a coordinated research program are the responsibility of the University Research Council.

Agricultural Experiment Station Director: H. Paul Rasmussen Office in Agricultural Science 225

The Agricultural Experiment Station was established in 1888 when the territorial legislature passed a bill creating Utah Agricultural College and Utah Agricultural Experiment Station. It is commissioned by state and federal legislative acts to conduct research needed to conserve and manage natural resources; to produce, prepare, and market food and fiber; and to develop and improve rural living. The Experiment Station is administratively responsible to the Dean of the College of Agriculture and fulfills its mission with more than 130 full- or part-time professional staff members located in 14 departments of the University, and operates under a Policy Advisory Board comprised of college deans, chaired by the Dean of Agriculture. The staff includes about 35 employees of the U.S. Department of Agriculture who collaborate in agricultural research activities. A large number of undergraduate and graduate students are employed on a part-time basis to assist with research. Experiment Station research is periodically reviewed by advisory committees representing all agricultural industries. These committees evaluate the research progress and recommend areas for further study. Most of the research facilities of the Experiment Station are on the USU campus in various University buildings. In addition, the Experiment Station operates other farms and associated research facilities throughout the state. Field tests and studies of industries and communities are conducted on a short-term basis at more than 100 other locations each year. University Research

Engineering Experiment Station Director: Alma P. Moser Office in Engineering Class EC 110

The Engineering Experiment Station, as part of the College of Engineering, has the broad purpose of furthering engineering sciences; engineering research, design, and development; and engineering education. The station was established in 1918 and is financed by federal, state, and industrial grants. The director of the Engineering Experiment Station, the engineering department heads, and the individual faculty members share the responsibility to develop engineering research programs to advance knowledge and to serve the needs of the state and the nation. Interdisciplinary programs are encouraged. Financial support and professional training for graduate and undergraduate students are provided in the research programs. Faculty members with similar and complementary talents have organized into working groups which appropriately identify their areas of research. The mutual stimulation and organizational visibility thus achieved aids in mounting effective attacks on engineering problems encountered by the state and nation. Some of the recent areas of research in the Engineering Experiment Station include irrigation and water management, toxic and hazardous waste management, solid waste recycling, risk assessment, transportation, structural systems, geotechnical analysis and buried

The Utah Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit was initiated in 1935 through a memorandum of understanding among the University, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Wildlife Management Institute, and the USDA Bureau of Biological Survey (became the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) and was one of the first ten wildlife units established in the U.S. The Utah Cooperative Fishery Research Unit was established at USU in December of 1961, the first of 25 such units in the United States. In December of 1984, the two units were combined through a memorandum of understanding among all cooperators. In November 1993, the unit became part of the U.S. National Biological Survey, which became the U.S. National Biological Service (NBS) in January 1995. In October 1996, the NBS was transferred to the U.S. Geological Survey as the Biological Resources Division (BRD). A coordinating committee, composed of representatives from the Department of Forest, Range, and Wildlife Sciences, BRD, the Wildlife Management Institute, and Utah State Division of Wildlife Resources, provides general guidance on the research program. The unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s objectives are to (1) conduct research basic to proper utilization of fish and wildlife resources; (2) educate graduate students in fish and wildlife ecology and management; (3) promote fish and wildlife education through demonstration, lecture, and publication; and (4) make results of investigations available to cooperators and the public by way of peer reviewed publications, reports, popular articles, and workshops. At the present time, the fishery research program emphasis is on (1) population assessment and trophic dynamics of aquatic systems, (2) sport fish management, (3) behavior and habitat requirements of fish and aquatic invertebrates, and (4) conservation biology and threatened and endangered species. Wildlife emphasis is in wildlife management; conservation biology; landscape ecology; responses of vertebrate populations to environmental perturbation; habitat requirements of nongame and threatened and endangered species; and conservation education. In addition to the regular cooperators, funding is obtained from other state conservation agencies, as well as from U.S. government bureaus and departments.

State Arboretum at Utah State University In 1961 the Utah State Legislature officially designated Utah State University as a state arboretum. The arboretum covers the entire campus and contains more than 3,000 trees. The arboretum also contains a collection of native and adapted plants located north of Old Main Hill and a native plant demonstration garden between the wings of the Edith Bowen Laboratory School. Various shrub species and colorful displays of bulbs, annuals, and perennials provide additional beauty as well as interest to the campus. The campus arboretum is maintained by the Landscape Operations and Maintenance Department in cooperation with Facilities Planning. The tree removal policy states that when removals occur, trees shall be replaced on at least a one-to-one ratio to maintain the integrity of the campus forest. When a tree is removed from an established landscape area, the same species of tree shall be replanted at the removal site whenever possible to preserve the

original design intent. When replacement on the same site is unfeasible, a replacement tree will be planted at another suitable campus location. The USU campus serves as an educational resource for teaching programs of the University and the community at large. Students studying biology, horticulture, agronomy, forestry, and landscape architecture utilize the arboretum year-round to further develop a knowledge and appreciation for plants in the landscape.

Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Office Director: Sue Guenter-Schlesinger Office in Main 161, (435) 797-1266 The vision statement of the Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity (AA/EO) Office reads as follows: “USU sees an environment in which every individual has an opportunity to learn, work, and contribute, and where full inclusion and respect for all people encourages creativity and productivity. The result will be students, faculty, and staff working together, serving and strengthening our local, national, and global communities.” In support of this vision, it is the policy of Utah State University to ensure equal educational and employment opportunity regardless of race, color, religion, sex (including sexual harassment), national origin, age, disability, or veteran status. In addition, discrimination based on sexual orientation is prohibited in evaluating employee or student performance. The AA/EO Office implements federal, state, and University anti-discrimination laws, statues, and policies, and strives to provide an atmosphere in which students, staff, and faculty can work, study, and live without fear of discrimination or sexual harassment. It also works to increase access to education and employment for groups that have traditionally faced barriers to opportunities in these areas.

The AA/EO Office focuses on a variety of areas. The major responsibilities of the office include: 1. Developing affirmative action policies, plans, and programs at USU aimed at increasing participation of underrepresented groups of women, minorities, persons with disabilities, and veterans. 2. Monitoring the representation and status of underrepresented groups (women and minorities) at USU who are prospective or current faculty, staff, or students. 3. Investigating, processing, and resolving discrimination and sexual harassment complaints. 4. Providing training on affirmative action/equal opportunity laws, policies, prevention of sexual harassment, and valuing diversity. 5. Enhancing awareness of and sensitivity toward diversity and “differences.” Utah State University is dedicated to providing equal opportunity in education and employment to all students, faculty, and staff. University members who feel their rights have been violated, want information, or just need some guidance relating to their course of action should contact the Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Office, located in Main 161, or call (435) 797-1266. Copies of the complete Affirmative Action Plan, Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Policy, Sexual Harassment Policy, and Discrimination Complaint Policy, as well as information pertaining to other AA/EO-related laws and policies at the local (USU), state, and federal levels, are available in the AA/EO Office, on the USU Website, and at the Merrill Library.
