The Graduate School at lUP

General Information

Graduate education was inaugurated at lUP in September, 1957. Master of Arts, Master of Business Administration, Master of Education, Master of Fine Arts, Master of Science, Doctor of Education, Doctor of Philosophy, and Doctor of Psychology degrees are currently available. Nondegree programs leading to certification in various teaching and school service fields are also available.

In all graduate programs the objectives are (1) to encourage excellence and scholarship; (2) to provide depth in the student's special field; and, (3) to stimulate enthusiasm for continued cultural and professional growth on the part of the student.

The Graduate School staff is assisted in its daily functioning by a) the Graduate Council, a standing committee of the University Senate con- cerned with graduate program curricular and policy matters; b) the Gradu- ate Student Assembly, an elected graduate student body representative of all campus academic departments offering graduate programs, and c) the chairpersons and graduate studies coordinators of departments offering graduate course work.

lUP

Location

lUP, the largest state-owned university in Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education, is located in Indiana, Pennsylvania, a community of 28,000 about fifty-five miles northeast of Pittsburgh and thirty miles north of Johnstown. Situated in the Allegheny foothills, Indiana has a moderate climate conducive to study the year round and a wide variety of historical, cultural, and recreational facilities both immediately at hand and in neigh- boring population centers.

Library

The lUP Libraries consist of the Stapleton/Stabley central facility, Cogs- well Music Library, campus libraries in Kittanning and Punxsutawney, and the University School Library. Collectively, the University Libraries con- tain over 600,000 book volumes, 95,000 bound periodicals, 1.7 million items of microforms, 4,500 periodical subscriptions, and 35,000 media holdings. A wide range of resources and services are available to support teaching and research. The University Libraries are a select U.S. and State Government Depository, an associate member of the Center for Research Libraries, and a member of OCLC. Records of holdings in the lUP Libraries are accessible through an advanced version of the Carlyle online catalog system called lUP-TOMUS. TOMUS, (The OnHne Muhiple User System) may be accessed through a modem by telephoning 357-7700 or via the lUP CHIEF (electronic communications) network and entering LIBRARY in response to the question, "Which service would you like?"

Dialogue online searching services are available to faculty and students of lUP. Online searching is supplemented by a number of CD-ROM data- bases (available within Stapleton Library) which run on a local area net- work. Located on the first floor of Stapleton Library within close proximity to the Reference Desk, databases include Dissertation Abstracts, ERIC, ABI/Inform, MLA, PsychLit, and Disclosure.

Interlibrary Loan services are available. Borrowing from other libraries is often curtailed between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

lUP Centers and Institutes

Centers and institutes serve a variety of functions. Each center/institute is unique in its focus and is created to meet a specifically identified need. Centers provide an opportunity for faculty to utilize their expertise through consultation, technical assistance, and research-related activities. Centers/institutes provide excellent opportunities for students to learn, to demonstrate their knowledge and skills, and to become involved in meaningful projects in the community. Centers/institutes strengthen the research and public service missions of the university and, therefore, en- hance the quality of education.

Journal Publications

Five scholarly journals arc published by the faculty at lUP. They are Ben- jamin Mays Monofiraph Series, Criminal Justice Policy Review, The Liter- ary Griot, Hispanic Journal, Studies in the Humanities and Works and Days: Essays in the Socio-Historical Dimensions of Literature and the Arts.

The Foundation for lUP

The Foundation for lUP is a nonprofit agency established in 1967 to de- velop and maintain private support for lUP. It is governed by a twenty- four-niember Board of Directors. The offices of Executive Director An- thony F. Lenzi '54 and his staff are located on campus in John Sutton Hall. Funds raised through contributions from alumni, friends, faculty and staff, corporations, and foundations are used to support scholarships, academic and athletic enrichment, departmental programs, and other pri- ority needs of the university. In 1989-90, contributions received totaled over $2.2 million, and the foundation's endowments are valued at over $2.4 million.

University Testing Services

lUP is formally recognized as an official testing site by several national testing agencies. These include American College Testing, Educational Testing Service, Psychological Corporation, Law School Admissions Council, and College Board. The Office of Career Services sponsors lUP's University Testing Services as part of its comprehensive mission to place students in appropriate occupations and professional and graduate educa- tion programs. The following are of particular interest to potential students.

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is administered on nationally established dates five times each year. In the Saturday morning sessions the general examinations (formerly called aptitude examinations) are offered; the advanced examinations (specializations) are offered in the af- ternoon sessions. Information and registration booklets are available from the Graduate School or from the Office of Career Services. Registration forms must be sent directly to ETS in Princeton, New Jersey.

The Miller Analogies Test (MAT) is administered by University Testing Services frequently — usually monthly on a weekday afternoon. To register, contact the Office of Career Services at (412) 357-2235. All Graduate School applicants with a GPA below 2.6 must take the MAT.

The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is administered on nationally established dates. lUP is a regular center for some dates and can be a special center for other dates if fifteen registrations are submitted

10 - The Graduate School at I UP

to University Testing Services before the "special requests" deadline. Registrations for regular center dates, as listed in the GMAT booklet, are submitted directly to ETS. Information-registration booklets are available from the M.B.A. coordinator in the College of Business or from the Office of Career Services.

The National Teacher Examination (NTE) is administered on four nation- ally established dates. On two dates the common examinations are offered. The instrument is used generally by participating school systems for qualification and/or selection of instructional staff. This test is used at lUP in admission to the program for certification as a supervisor of guidance.

Information on graduate and professional school exams other than those used for lUP Graduate School programs is available through the Office of Career Services. Law School Admission Test (LSAT) information is also available in the office of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.

Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) information is available through the dean of the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.

Arrangements can be made by advance contact for administration of tests adapted to visual, auditory, or physical handicaps.

University Testing Services is a center for the administration of tests and neither makes testing requirements nor offers interpretations of testing results. Commercial "How to Prepare for..." materials are available in the Co-op Store and other local bookstores. Questions regarding test re- quirements and desirable scores should be addressed to the Graduate School. Questions regarding specific registration matters and the test agen- cy information-registration materials may be directed to the Office of Career Services, 302 Pratt Hall, (412) 357-2235.

Career Services

The Office of Career Services, 302 Pratt Hall, is open to all lUP graduate students and alumni. Individuals and classes are encouraged to utilize the resources of professional staff, career-related materials, and physical facili- ties for ongoing assistance in the process of career planning and successful entry into meaningful and productive employment.

The primary functions of the program include career planning assistance through voluntary conferences with professional career counselors; assem- bling a Career Credential File for transmission to prospective employers who request the individual's file (Note: the academic transcript is not in- cluded as part of the Career Credential File); cooperating with lUP faculty members to encourage increased awareness of current career plan- ning, job seeking assistance, and employment trends; arranging campus in- terviews; publicizing career-related information. Other functions include receiving and assembling current job vacancies listings which are available

The University - II

on a regular schedule; maintaining a career information library; arranging for the dispersal of occupational information through extensive meetings with representatives from education, business, industry, and government; and conducting frequent statistical studies of graduates to assemble "sup- ply/demand" data.

Each student is urged to obtain a career credential packet which presents appropriate procedures to register for career services. Establishing a Career Credential File is each individual's privilege and opportunity. Em- ployment is not guaranteed by the university, but lUP graduates have es- tablished an outstanding reputation of success in the working world.

Publications

The Penn, lUP's campus newspaper, is published three times a week dur- ing the fall and spring semesters by students wishing to gain practical newspaper experience. Interested students are advised to attend organiza- tional meetings held in the beginning of each semester.

Student Handbook is distributed to all students, free of charge. It includes rules and regulations, extracurricular programs, and general information of interest to students.

Graduate Student Handbook is available to all graduate students and is free of charge. It includes rules and regulations and general information of interest to graduate students.

Thesis/ Dissertation Manual is available to all graduate students and is free of charge. It includes guidelines, deadlines, and forms for students prepar- ing theses or dissertations.

Disabled Student Services

Disabled Student Services (a unit of the Advising and Testing Center) is the primary agent for the provision of access for physically and learning disabled students at lUP. Students with disabilities are urged to register with the office. Services provided include early registration; assistance in locating accessible housing; equipment loan; test proctoring and reading; liaison with faculty, OVR, and BVS; and general advising and counseling. Further information may be obtained in 106 Pratt Hall or by calling (412) 357-4067. (VOICE/TDD)

Housing

lUP maintains and operates fourteen traditional residence halls and two apartment buildings, all of which are available for graduate students. In an effort to create a graduate environment, twelve two-person one-

12 - The Graduate School at lUP

bedroom apartments located on the fifth floor of Campus Towers have been reserved for the graduate population.

Students interested in living in any of lUP's residence facilities should write or call the Office of Housing and Residence Life, G-14 Sutton Hall, lUP, Indiana, PA 15705, (412) 357-2696.

A brochure enumerating privately owned apartment complexes located on the perimeter of the campus is available upon request to students who prefer to reside off campus.

Religious Life

The religious life of students is cared for through the activities of some twelve organizations. Three of these, the Newman Center, the United Campus Ministry, and the Lutheran Center, maintain private facilities near the campus. Others affiliate with and meet in local churches for worship.

Pechan Health Center

The University Health Service operates an outpatient clinic and provides routine health care to students while classes are in session. The outpatient clinic is staffed with physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, and educators. It is located at the Pechan Health Center, at the corner of Maple Street and Pratt Drive. For emergency care of students when the Health Center is closed, Indiana Hospital emergency room is available. The university has a contract to cover the cost of transporting a student to Indiana Hospital for an emergency, if the student's health insurance policy does not include coverage of ambulance services.

In addition to primary medical care, including minor surgery, laboratory tests, allergy injections, and dispensing of medications, the University Health Service offers a self-care cold clinic, evening gynecology clinic, and programs in chemical health, health education, wellness, and nutrition counseling. Free transportation to area medical facilities also is available. See Tuition and Fees for health fee information.

Students are required to complete a Student Health Form which includes documentation of immunization status prior to starting classes. If a stu- dent is not adequately immunized s/he will be allowed to enroll and at- tend classes during the first semester with the understanding that second semester enrollment shall be contingent upon obtaining the necessary im- munizations and documentation. The following vaccines are included in this policy: Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Tetanus Toxoid-Diphtheria, and Polio. Persons born after 1956 should receive a second measles immuniza- tion prior to entering college. It has always been important to update diphtheria and tetanus immunizations every ten years.

Admission - 13

Admission

Admission to the Graduate School is required of all students who wish to take graduate courses for graduate credit. Each student applying for ad- mission, either as an applicant for a graduate degree program or as an ap- plicant for a nondegree program, must file with the Graduate School an application for admission and such other supporting documents as the school may specify. An admissions packet is supplied by the Graduate Office upon request. As a general rule, application materials must be on file in the Graduate Office at least two months prior to the beginning of the semester or term in which the applicant plans to begin graduate work. Some exceptions to these deadlines exist; please refer to the Graduate Calendar on the closing pages of this catalog for specific program dates.

Requirements for Admission

1. An applicant must have a bachelor's degree from a college or university accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools or an equivalent regional accrediting agency.

2. The applicant's undergraduate transcript (or transcripts, collective- ly) must show a minimum cumulative quality point average of 2.6 on a 4.0 maximum scale. Occasionally, additional evidence of academic ability is required. Applicants whose grade point average is below 2.6 will be re- quired to take the Miller Analogies Test (MAT).

3. Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores must be submitted pri- or to admission or during the student's first semester of course work by all students except M.B.A. and M.S. in Business program applicants; the latter must submit Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) scores. (These tests are described in detail earlier in this catalog.)

4. Most applicants requesting admission to programs leading to an M.Ed, degree are required to have a Provisional Pennsylvania Teachers Certificate or its equivalent; all M.Ed, degree applicants should be sure to inquire at their program's sponsoring department. M.Ed, applicants who do not already have such certification where required must complete a planned program leading to certification prior to applying for M.Ed, degree candidacy at lUP.

5. Effective Fall, 1991, lUP requires documentation of dates of im- munizations from new students for the following vaccines: Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Tetanus Toxoid-Diphtheria, and Polio. Individuals born after 1956 should receive a second measles immunization prior to entering college. It has been important to update diphtheria and tetanus immuniza-

14 - The Graduate School at IV P

tions every ten years. The documentation must be included on the Student Health Form and can take the form of one of the following:

1. dates of vaccinations and name of the health care provider who gave them

2. date of illness with the disease diagnosed by a physician

3. serum antibody level as determined by a blood test

Students will receive a copy of the Student Health Form with their notifi- cation of admission to the Graduate School; the form must be returned to the University Health Service before students start classes. If a student is not adequately immunized, s/he will be allowed to enroll and attend class- es during the first semester with the understanding that second semester enrollment shall be contingent upon obtaining the necessary immunizations and documentation of immunity.

Graduate School admission means that students may program and register for graduate courses. Admission does not guarantee subsequent admission to candidacy for a degree, nor does it guarantee successful completion of requirements for a degree.

Admission Procedures

1. Each applicant must file with the dean of the Graduate School a completed application form. Applications along with forms pertaining to items 2 and 3 below are included in the admissions packet. (The admis- sions packet sent to Doctor of Psychology applicants differs somewhat from the regular packet, especially regarding item 3 below.)

2. The application must be accompanied by one copy of an official transcript from each graduate and undergraduate institution attended, regardless of whether or not a degree was earned, including lUP if the ap- plicant attended lUP previously. lUP graduates must ask the Registrar's Office to forward official transcripts to the Graduate School.

3. Each applicant must submit statements of recommendation from two individuals who are familiar with his/her background. These individu- als must be persons familiar with the applicant's academic background (e.g., persons who have taught the applicant at the graduate or under- graduate levels).

4. All applicants must submit Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores during their first semester of course work. Students applying to the following programs must submit GRE scores prior to admission: Biology, Criminology (Ph.D.), Food and Nutrition, Geography, Psychology, and School Psychology (D.Ed.). M.B.A. and M.S. in Business degree appli- cants must submit Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) scores. Information about both tests is contained in the admissions packet.

Admission - 15

5. A nonrefundable application fee in the amount of $20 must accom- pany the application. JMeasc pay by check and make the check payable to lUP.

Admission Classifications

Applicants for admission to the Graduate School are notified of their ad- mission status by the Graduate School dean prior to the beginning of the term of planned study. Admission classifications are as follows:

1. Precandidacy Status. Given to an applicant who plans to work toward a graduate degree and whose application file with the Graduate School is both complete and satisfactory. The precandidacy student may program, under departmental guidance, six to twelve graduate hours toward the degree being sought. Precandidacy Status does not guarantee subsequent admission to candidacy.

2. Special Graduate Standing. Granted to applicants who indicate they do not plan to work toward a graduate degree but who wish to take graduate courses for which they are qualified. Applicants granted this standing who later wish to work toward a graduate degree must request reclassification by the Graduate School before the completion of twelve graduate hours. Credits earned by a student having Special Graduate Standing may or may not be applied to an lUP degree after the reclassi- fied student has been awarded degree candidacy, depending on whether or not the credits are deemed appropriate to the degree by the program's sponsoring department.

3. Admission Denied. Applicants denied admission to the Graduate School will receive a letter from the Graduate School dean indicating the reason for the denial.

Graduate Record and Other Examinations

All Graduate School applicants must take the general section (formerly called the Aptitude section) of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) during their first semester of course work, regardless of how many credits they are enrolled for. The following programs require submission of GRE results prior to admission: Biology, Criminology (Ph.D.), Food and Nutri- tion, Geography, Psychology, and School Psychology (D.Ed.). The fol- lowing programs also require that the examination's advanced section be taken:

Biology

Educational Psychology (M.Ed, and School Psychology programs)

Music (M.A.)

Psychology (M.A., Psy.D.)

16 - The Graduate School at I UP

Applicants with undergraduate GPAs below 2.6 will be required to submit MAT (Miller Analogies Test) scores of not less than 47. Both Graduate Record and Miller Analogies examinations are administered by lUP's University Testing Services; specific information about test availability can be obtained from the services director. Applicants taking such examina- tions, whether at lUP or elsewhere, should request that their scores be sent to Dean, The Graduate School, lUP, Indiana, PA 15705-1081.

Foreign Student Applicants

in addition to following the general procedures for admission to the Graduate School, foreign students must present evidence of fluency in En- glish. Applicants whose native language is not English are required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The Graduate School will not process applications from such students until satisfactory TOEFL scores are filed with the dean of the Graduate School. (Students requesting information about the TOEFL should write to TOEFL, Educa- tional Testing Service, Princeton, NJ 08540, U.S.A.)

Foreign applicants must also present evidence to the Graduate School of having financial resources sufficient to meet the cost of living in Indiana, Pennsylvania; the cost of travel to and from the student's native country; and, the cost of graduate education at lUP. Such evidence should be sent directly to Dean, The Graduate School, lUP, Indiana, PA 15705-1081, U.S.A. The Graduate School notifies the university's international student adviser of foreign student applications received. The international student adviser mails to the prospective foreign student information on housing, arrival dates, and other general information about the university. Appli- cants who have questions about legal or other matters such as the issuance of certificates of eligibility (1-20) and the like should address those ques- tions directly to lUP International Student Adviser, lUP, Indiana, PA 15705-1081.

Foreign Student Candidacy Test - All foreign students will be required to take the GRE if they have received a degree in an American college or university. If a foreign student has not studied in an American college or university, the test required for candidacy will be the TOEFL. Business students in M.B.A. or M.S. programs must take the GMAT regardless of foreign status.

Applicants for Specialist for Supervisory Certification Programs

lUP offers specialist or supervisory certificate programs in Instructional Technology Specialist (Communications Media department). Elementary School Counselor, Secondary School Counselor, School Psychology certifi- cation (Educational Psychology department), Reading Specialist (Profes-

Admission - 17

sional Studies in Education department), and Supervisor in Special Educa- tion (Special Education and Clinical Services department).

Applicants for these programs should follow the same procedures for ad- mission, programming, and registration as described in this catalog for special programs requirements. However, potential applicants should check with the department chair or graduate coordinator responsible for the specialized program in order to gather information before beginning the admissions process.

Programming and Registration

Advisement

After a student has been admitted to the Graduate School, he/she should consult the department chairperson or coordinator of graduate studies in his/her intended field of study about a program of courses. If the student is a special graduate student, consultation should be with the director of Graduate School Academic and Administrative Services. Many depart- ments feel strongly that their students should be advised well before regis- tration for each semester or summer term; these departments are identified each term in the schedule of graduate course offerings. Students are responsible for knowing their department's scheduling advisement rules.

Telephone Registration (TELREG)

To facilitate graduate student registration in fall and spring classes, the Graduate School offers telephone registration (TELREG). TELREG is available to all graduate students admitted to the Graduate School who enrolled in at least one class during the preceding two years. TELREG gives graduate students the opportunity to register for classes without at- tending an on-campus registration, as well as provides the advantage of securing a schedule of classes before other students using either the mail or walk-in registration procedures. Details on TELREG are provided in each semester schedule.

Final Registration

After students have returned their registration materials to the Graduate School, they will receive from the Accounts Receivable Office a bill for tuition and fees. Students registering at final or "walk-in" registration may also arrange for housing, meals, parking, and "I" cards at that time.

"Walk-in" registration is for students who have not pre-registered by tele- phone or mail and is held shortly before the start of classes. Check the graduate class schedule or call the Graduate School at (412) 357-2222 for the time and date.

Programming and Registration - 25

Continuous Registration

For all doctoral students admitted or commencing course work during the fall, 1990, semester and therealter, the tbilowing policy is binding. Follow- ing the completion of all course requirements and the comprehensive ex- aminations, doctoral students must enroll for at least one graduate credit of dissertation or extended dissertation each fall semester annually through the defense of the dissertation.

Drop/Add Policy

At the beginning of each semester, a few days are set aside for dropping and adding courses. The Drop/Add period was established to permit en- rolled students to make schedule adjustments. It was not designed to allow unregistered students to build schedules from scratch. Students using the Drop/Add period for anything other than schedule adjustments will be charged a late registration fee. Drop/Add dates are set at the beginning of each semester, and students should check with their departments to learn the dates, times, and procedures for dropping and adding courses.

Financial Aid

The Financial Aid Office, located at 308 Pratt Hall, offers financial infor- mation and counseling to all students attending lUP. The types of finan- cial assistance offered by the Financial Aid Office include student employment, loans, and scholarships. In most cases the Pennsylvania State Grant Application is used to determine eligibility for these programs.

In order to be considered for financial aid administered through the university, a Pennsylvania State Grant Application must be submitted to Harrisburg. The preferred filing deadline is May 1 of each year. Students attending lUP on at least a half-time basis (five credit hours or more) will be awarded assistance based on demonstrated financial need. To be eligi- ble for continued funding, applicants must remain in satisfactory academic standing at the university and show continued academic progress.

The cost of attending lUP and the university's refund policy are listed in this catalog. Please refer to the index for further information.

Assistantships

lUP offers both half-time assistantships (twenty hours per week of as- sistantship service) and quarter-time assistantships (ten hours per week of assistantship service) to full-time graduate students. Duties will vary some- what from assistant to assistant and may include supervised teaching, research or assistance with research, and university service activities. Duties are under the supervision of a faculty member or administrator. Assistantships are looked upon as an encouragement or reward for aca- demic excellence rather than as a means to relieve financial need.

Half-time assistantships carry a full tuition waiver for the two semesters of the assistantship and the following summer. With some exceptions, quarter-time assistantships carry one-half tuition waiver for the two semesters of the assistantship and a six semester-hour waiver for the fol- lowing summer.

Since stipends for assistantships may be raised from year to year, potential applicants should check with the Graduate School for current stipend levels.

The deadline for applying for a fall assistantship is March 15 of the same calendar year. Applications and further information are available at the Graduate School.

The Graduate Scholars Program

The Graduate Scholars Program at lUF* is a resource committed to the education of graduate students of minority heritage. The Graduate Scho- lars Program provides financial aid in the form of graduate assistantships. The terms of the graduate assistantships are as follows: (I) an academic year stipend of $4,410 to $6,000, depending on the department and level of study; (2) tuition waiver during the academic year; and (3) tuition waiver for both sessions the following summer. Graduate assistants work twenty hours per week during the academic year but have no work assign- ments during the summer. Assistantship assignments are in academic departments or other academic units and are designed to be a valuable part of students' educations. All American citizens of racial minority heritage (African-American, Hispanic, Asian-American, American Indian) are invited to apply for entrance to the Graduate Scholars Program. A minimum cumulative undergraduate grade point average of 2.6 "B-" is re- quired; 3.0 "B" is preferred. An undergraduate degree from an accredited institution must be completed prior to the beginning of graduate work at lUP. Prospective Graduate Scholars should write for an admissions packet to

Teaching Associates

Each year the Graduate School offers a limited number of teaching associ- ate positions to qualified doctoral students. Usually an associate teaches six credit hours of undergraduate courses, but other teaching-related serv- ice is sometimes assigned in lieu of teaching. These positions carry a stipend and a tuition waiver and require the associate to be enrolled for graduate credit during each semester of the appointment. Tuition waiver includes up to nine hours of graduate credits during the summer following the appointment. Activity and health fees, as well as tuition during the fall and spring semesters, must be paid by the associate.

Minimum requirements: Associates must hold a master's degree or have completed thirty-six graduate semester hours prior to the appointment and must be enrolled in an lUP doctoral program and remain in good stand- ing during the term of the appointment. Departments may have additional requirements.

For further information, contact the director of Doctoral Studies in the department offering your doctoral program.

Scholarships

Margaret Flegal Harte Scholarships - Two $450 scholarships are awarded yearly to needy new full-time graduate students. All new Graduate School applicants except for those who receive other lUP scholarships are consid- ered for the Margaret Flegal Harte Scholarships based on academic records and financial need. No application forms for the scholarships are required; the Pennsylvania State Grant Application submitted to Harris- burg serves as the need analysis document for need assessment.

Employment Programs

Federal College Work-Study Program (CWSP) - The College Work-Study Program provides an opportunity for graduate students to earn money to help finance educational expenses. Students may be employed on campus for up to twenty hours per week when classes are in session and forty hours per week during vacation periods. College Work-Study jobs not only help to defray the cost of education but can add valuable practical experience accompanying the student's graduate education. Eligibility is based on financial need as determined by an analysis of the Pennsylvania State Grant Application submitted to Harrisburg. The form is available in the Financial Aid Office.

University Employment (UE) - The University Employment Program pro- vides an opportunity for students to work as an accompaniment to their studies program. Maximum UE hours are twenty hours per week when classes are in session and forty hours per week during vacation periods. No application is necessary. This employment program is not based on financial need.

Special Funded Grant Employment - Grant employment opportunities are also available to graduate students from time to time. Interested students should check with the Graduate School Office.

Loan Programs

Stafford Loan - The Stafford Loan can be obtained through private lend- ing institutions such as banks and credit unions and is administered in conjunction with the state and federal governments. In addition to filing a Stafford Application with your lender, you must also complete a Pennsyl- vania State Grant/Federal Student Aid Application. For students demon- strating sufficient financial need, loans of up to $7,500 per academic grade level are available. The interest rate for new borrowers is eight per- cent for the first four years following the expiration of a six-month grace period and ten percent thereafter. A maximum of $54,750 including all amounts received as an undergraduate may be borrowed. Students must be enrolled in a degree or certificate granting program in order to receive Stafford funds. Repayment of principal and interest begin six months after

Financial Aid - 29

you cease half-time attendance. There are no cancellation privileges, but deferments are available in specific situations.

To students who apply through the Pennsylvania Higher Education As- sistance Agency and who do not meet the financial need criteria required of federally subsidized loans, an unsubsidized Stafford Loan may be offered. On this type of loan, all of the provisions are the same as with the subsidized GSL except that interest of eight percent is paid quarterly during periods of enrollment.

Parental Loans for Students (PLUS) and Supplemental Loans for Students (SLS) - Applications for both of these loans may be obtained from private lending institutions such as banks and credit unions. PLUS loans are for parent borrowers of dependent graduate students, and SLS loans are for student borrowers. Students must be enrolled in a degree or certificate granting program of study. Up to $4,000 per academic level may be bor- rowed at a variable interest rate no to exceed 12%. For students who are enrolled full-time, principal payments may be deferred, while interest pay- ments begin immediately. Some deferment options are available.

PHEAA Higher Education Loan Plan (Alternative Loan) - Applications for this loan program may be obtained through the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency in Harrisburg. The current interest rate is a variable 9.5 percent with repayment of principal and interest beginning thirty days after the funds are received. Up to $10,000 per academic level may be requested. There are no deferment provisions for this loan program.

Veterans

lUP is approved to offer training under the various G.I. Bills. Students who are entitled to training under one of these bills should contact the veterans counselor immediately after being accepted for admission to lUP in order to secure additional instructions. This procedure is necessary so veterans may be included on the monthly payrolls. The Office of the Veterans Counselor is in 302 Pratt Hall, (412) 357-2234.

Health Insurance

Students are encouraged to purchase their own health insurance. Health insurance not only helps defray some of the additional health care costs, but it also provides total confidentiality to the policyholder. The university does not sponsor a group health insurance program for students. An in- formation booklet designed to assist individuals in purchasing private health insurance is available upon request from the Administrative Office, Pechan Health Center, lUP, Indiana, PA 15705-1083.

30 - The Graduate School at lUP

The University Health Service does offer primary care services to lUP stu- dents. Students pay a per-semester student health fee which entitles them to unlimited visits at the Health Center. Minimal fees are charged for medications, laboratory tests, and procedures. The University Health Serv- ice does not bill insurance companies for services; however, students receive a copy of a bill for each visit which can be used if the individual chooses to bill his/her insurance company directly. Services available at the Pechan Health Center include gynecology care, laboratory services in- cluding blood drawing, minor surgery, allergy clinic, self-care cold clinic, health education, nutrition counseling, and chemical health education and intervention services.

The Thesis/No-Thesis Option - Master's Programs

Several lUP master's degree programs offer the graduate student a thesis/no-thesis option.

When the no-thesis option is chosen, additional approved course work — usually six or more credit hours — is frequently required.

The typical committee thesis arrangement (3-6 s.h.) has the student work- ing with a committee of three or four faculty members including the stu- dent's adviser and two faculty members, one of whom may or may not be a member of the program's department. On some occasions, a college dean or a Graduate School representative may sit on a thesis committee. The committee may include an off-campus person with special expertise as one of the four if this is requested by the department and approved by the Graduate School dean. The Thesis/ Dissertation Manual provides addition- al information and is available through the Graduate School.

Doctoral Degree Programs - 35

Doctoral Degree Programs

The Graduate School offers work leading to the doctorate through the fol- lowing departments: Counselor Education, Criminology, Educational Psychology (School Psychology), Professional Studies in Education (Elementary Education), English (Literature and Criticism; Rhetoric and Linguistics), and Psychology (Clinical Psychology).

Applicants should keep in mind that the doctorate is conferred for distin- guished achievement in a particular field of scholarship and for demon- strated ability to perform independent research in an area of that field. No specific number of course credits entitles a student to the degree.

Those interested in any of the doctoral programs should read the descrip- tions provided by sponsoring departments later in this catalog. Deadlines for submitting applications and supporting documents vary from program to program, as do degree requirements. Therefore, it is important for stu- dents to check with the sponsoring department at the very start of the ap- plication process.

The following doctorates are offered:

Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology Doctor of Philosophy in Criminology Doctor of Education in Elementary Education Doctor of Philosophy in English Doctor of Education in School Psychology

The doctoral programs in school psychology and elementary education maintain cooperative arrangements with other universities in the State Sys- tem of Higher Education (SSHE), whereby some part of the requirements may be fulfilled at these schools.

Requirements for the Doctoral Degree

Students seeking a doctoral degree must satisfy the minimum Graduate School requirements described below. Sponsoring departments may have additional requirements, and students must be familiar with these, since they are equally binding.

Under certain circumstances, Graduate School requirements for the doc- toral degree may be satisfied by means of substitution. Requests for the

36 - The Graduate School at lUP

acceptance of substitutions should be made in the form of a petition to the Graduate School dean, after first obtaining the approval of the stu- dent's department.

Credit requirement

A minimum of sixty graduate semester credits, exclusive of dissertation credits, must be earned beyond the bachelor's degree for any of the doc- torates offered at lUP.

Residency Requirements

Doctoral candidates will find that residency requirements vary from doc- toral program to doctoral program. Doctoral students should check with their departments to learn which of the following residency options apply to their specific doctoral program: completion of a minimum of nine graduate credits at lUP in each of at least two consecutive semesters; com- pletion of a minimum of nine graduate credits at lUP for at least one semester immediately preceding or following a summer of nine-hour study; completion at lUP of at least nine graduate credits in each of two con- secutive summers plus six graduate credits during the intervening academic year; or completion of twelve graduate credits at lUP in each of two con- secutive summers.

Transfer credit

Transfer credit is limited to the credit equivalent of a recognized master's degree, except in those special cases recommended by the student's depart- ment and approved by the Graduate School dean, and to up to twelve graduate credits through approved interinstitutional agreements.

In order to have credits considered for transfer purposes, the student should provide the Graduate School with a catalog course descrip- tion/course syllabus of the course(s), an official transcript showing the earned credits, and a letter requesting the course(s) to be transferred as either program elective credits or as program requirements.

Degree Candidacy

Each student admitted to a doctoral program must receive doctoral degree candidacy after completing at lUP no less than nine nor more than fifteen graduate credits beyond the master's degree. The student must have a minimum quality point average of 3.0. The student's minimum grade point average may be set higher than the foregoing Graduate School re- quirement by the program's sponsoring department, but in no case may it be lower.

Doctoral Degree Programs - 37

Candidacy Examination

The candidacy examination, which may be written, oral, or both, as deter- mined by the sponsoring department, and which may serve also as the fi- nal examination lor the master's degree if a department so prescribes, is administered by the department in the student's field of specialization. The examination may not be taken until the student has completed at least one year of study beyond the bachelor's degree. Examination scores must satisfy the student's dissertation committee.

The Dissertation Committee

The candidate's dissertation committee supervises the student's degree pro- gram from the point at which he/she is admitted to doctoral degree can- didacy through defense of the dissertation. The committee approves the student's plan of study; arranges for the candidacy examination; arranges for the comprehensive examination; and oversees the candidate's general supervision related to research, the dissertation, and the general meeting of degree requirements.

The Comprehensive Examination

This examination is given, usually upon the candidate's completion of course work, to determine the student's progress in the degree field and fields related to it and the student's likelihood of success in his/her research-dissertation phase. The examination may be written, oral, or both and is not necessarily limited to areas in which the candidate has taken course work.

Foreign Language/ Research Tool Options

Foreign language and/or research tool requirements for doctoral degrees vary from program to program. In most cases, programs offer options for meeting these requirements. Students should consult with the department sponsoring the degree for specific information and guidance on meeting these requirements.

Research Proposal

After the candidate has passed the comprehensive examination and has done extensive preliminary proposal research, he/she must present and de- fend a research proposal before the dissertation committee and the aca- demic community. A copy of the proposal must be placed in the hands of

38 - The Graduate School at lUP

all committee members at least two weeks in advance of the scheduled meeting. The proposal must be found satisfactory by all members of the committee before the candidate may proceed with the dissertation. The Thesis/Dissertation Manual outlines this procedure and is available through the Graduate School.

The Dissertation

A dissertation is required of all doctoral candidates and must demonstrate the candidate's mastery of his/her research and reflect the results of an original investigation in the principal field of study. The goal should be to make a definite original contribution to knowledge in the field.

Dissertation Process

Upon acceptance of the dissertation by the candidate's adviser, the candi- date must follow procedures acceptable to his/her department and dean in providing copies for review by the dissertation committee, college dean, and graduate coordinator. The candidate shall then request a formal meet- ing of the dissertation committee, at a time convenient to all members, to secure dissertation approval. The dissertation must be approved in writing by each member of the committee, as well as the Graduate School's associate dean for research.

Publication of the Dissertation

Following dissertation approval by the committee, three copies of the dis- sertation and two copies of an abstract must be submitted to the Graduate School's associate dean for research. The program's sponsoring depart- ment may also require a copy for its archives. The dissertation must be microfilmed according to the plan provided by University Microfilm, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Reexamination

A student who fails the candidacy examination, or any part of the com- prehensive examination, or any of the examinations in foreign languages and/or computer language, may request reexamination not earlier than one semester following the time of failure, nor later than one year after that date. No student is permitted a third examination without a recom- mendation to that effect from the degree program's sponsoring depart- ment and the approval of the Graduate Council.

Doctoral Degree Programs - 39

Application for Graduation

Formal application lor graduation must be lilcd in the Graduate School on or before the published date in the back ol" this catalog. Deadline dates are also available in the Thesis/Dissertation Manual, as well as in each semester's schedule of classes.

General Graduate School Procedures, Regulations, and Policies

The graduate student is expected to assume full responsibility for knowing graduate program procedures and regulations. General Graduate School requirements are set forth in this catalog; a description of special depart- mental degree requirements is available at each department sponsoring the specific degree or certification program. Requests for exceptions to policy are given consideration when unique circumstances exist; questions con- cerning the proper routing of such requests should be addressed to the Graduate School dean.

Academic Credits and Student Status

Although many graduate students work part-time or full-time, such work must not interfere with academic achievement. Graduate education at lUP is offered only to students in a position to benefit from it, and students are expected to maintain a sensible balance between graduate program commitments and outside commitments.

Students may schedule full-time academic loads in most graduate pro- grams. Full-time graduate student status is defined as nine to fifteen semester hours of graduate courses per semester, while part-time status is defined as eight or fewer semester hours per semester. Graduate assistants may not register for more than twelve total hours in any semester and must maintain full-time status throughout their assistantship award.

Academic Good Standing

lUP master's students must maintain a minimum of 3.0 "B" cumulative graduate quality point average to be in good standing academically. Stu- dents falling below good standing are placed on probation for their next active semester or summer term, during which the cumulative average must be raised to 3.0. Students who fail to raise their cumulative averages to at least 3.0 during their probation schedule will be dropped from degree programs and Graduate School rolls and will not be permitted to register for further courses. A student must be in good standing to be admitted to

Graduate School Procedures - 41

degree candidacy and to graduate. This policy remains the same for stu- dents pursuing a graduate degree at the doctoral level, except the required minimum grade point average is between 3.0 and 3.5, depending upon the program.

Course Auditing

Auditing is not permitted in a graduate course unless the student has been admitted to the Graduate School, has received permission to audit from the course's instructor, and has been approved for course enrollment by the dean of the Graduate School. Auditors must pay normal tuition and related fees. An auditor will, with permission from the instructor, partici- pate in class discussion, do practicum work, take examinations, and share generally in the privileges of a class member, if the student completes all course requirements, an "audit" notation is posted to the student's aca- demic record. No student who is required to carry a certain number of credits may count among those credits the credit for an audited course.

Class Cancellation

It is the policy of the Graduate School not to cancel regularly scheduled classes because of weather conditions, nor does it make announcements via radio, newspaper, or through its switchboard that classes are being suspended because of such conditions. In the case of hazardous travel conditions, students should decide to attend or not, based on their own particular circumstances.

Course Numbering

All dual-level courses, open to enrollment by both graduate and qualified undergraduate students, carry 500-599 course numbers; all courses open only to graduate students carry 600-series and above numbers.

Dual-Level Courses

The number of 500-599 course credits applicable to a degree program shall be a maximum of fifty percent of the credits required for that degree. Some programs may call for less than fifty percent. Students should check this requirement with their advisers.

Graduate students who enroll in dual-level courses should be aware that dual-level courses commonly impose greater obligations on graduate stu- dents than on undergraduate students taking the same courses.

42 - The Graduate School at lUP

Course Overlaps in Degree Programs

Within set limits, a student may use the same course to count in two different master's degree programs, if the course is acceptable in both pro- grams. However, the number of overlap credits counted toward a second master's degree will be limited to twenty percent of the credits in the sec- ond master's degree program.

Course Repeat Policy

No graduate credit is given for "F" grades, and graduate grading policy does not permit "D" grades. Students may repeat "C" or "F" grades ac- cording to the following policy:

1. Only one course can be repeated for each graduate degree program the student attempts or completes.

2. This one course can be repeated up to two times, for a total of three attempts (the original registration for the course plus two repeat at- tempts).

Semester hours for repeated courses will be counted only once for all at- tempts made, and the hours and grade earned when the course was last taken will be used to compute the grade point average. However, all at- tempts and the original grade(s) will continue to appear on the graduate transcript.

Course Scheduling by Certain Undergraduates

lUP undergraduate students with an academic grade-point average of at least 2.6 who are within thirty-two semester hours of graduation are per- mitted, after receiving appropriate approvals, to take up to six semester hours of graduate work whether or not they have applied for acceptance into an lUP graduate program. Graduate hours so earned have no neces- sary bearing upon the meeting of undergraduate degree requirements, and no assurance is given or implied as to their later applicability toward graduate degrees should the students be admitted to lUP graduate pro- grams. Should these credits later be approved toward a graduate degree program, they will be treated as transfer credits, in accordance with the policy stated below.

Credit Transfers

Up to six credits of graduate work taken at another institution may, under certain circumstances, be incorporated as part of the graduate student's

Graduate School Procedures - 43

program at lUP. These courses must have been completed at a regionally accredited institution, and the grade earned must be a "B" or its equiva- lent or better. The time limitation rule for lUP degrees (cited later in this catalog) pertains without modification to transfer credits.

Transfer credits are not necessarily posted to the student's lUP graduate record until the student has been admitted to degree candidacy. Accep- tance of transfer credit must be approved by the candidate's department and the Graduate School dean. Students wishing to transfer back to lUP credits taken at another institution while enrolled in an lUP graduate pro- gram must receive advance written authorization for credit acceptance from the department and the Graduate School dean. If approved, only the credit, not the grade or accompanying quality points, will transfer and ap- pear on the student's lUP transcript.

In order to have credits considered for transfer purposes, the student should provide the Graduate School with a catalog course descrip- tion/course syllabus of the course(s), an official transcript showing the earned credits, and a letter requesting the course(s) to be transferred as either program elective credits or as program requirements.

Degree Candidacy - Master's Degrees

Students with especially strong credentials may be granted candidacy upon admission to the Graduate School if their academic department so recom- mends and if their files are complete in every respect, including GRE or GMAT scores.

Those not receiving candidacy at the time of admission will undergo a candidacy review at the beginning of the semester or summer after which they have completed twelve hours of graduate credits. (This applies to both full-time and part-time students.) To be admitted to candidacy upon completing twelve hours, students must have achieved an average of 3.0 or higher in all graduate course work, have completed their admissions file, including GRE or GMAT scores, and have met all program requirements to the satisfaction of the department.

Students who are not granted candidacy after completing twelve graduate credits must satisfy all candidacy requirements during the term immediate- ly following the Fall, Spring, or Summer in which they have completed twelve graduate hours. At the end of this additional term, students will either be granted candidacy or be asked to leave the master's degree program.

It is not necessary for students to file an application with the Graduate School to be considered for candidacy. Candidacy reviews take place auto- matically. However, to facilitate their own record keeping, some academic departments may require those students not granted candidacy at admis- sions time to file an application within the department.

44 - The Graduate School at lUP

Final Credits Policy

All degree candidates must complete their program's final six credits of graduate work in courses offered by lUP. Under unique circumstances, appropriate substitutions may be authorized by petitioning the Graduate School dean after obtaining departmental approval.

Discrete Course Withdrawal

During the fall and spring semesters, graduate students may ask to with- draw from a graduate course without prejudice and with the grade of "W" by petitioning the Graduate School dean within the first two-thirds of the semester as determined by the published university calendar. The request must first be endorsed by the course instructor and the student's department chair or graduate studies coordinator, in that order. Graduate students wishing to withdraw from an undergraduate course within the prescribed period must do so by processing the standard Discrete Course Withdrawal form.

For summer classes and labs, withdrawals must be processed within the first six days for each of the summer sessions.

Following the close of the established six weeks (or sixth or twelfth day) withdrawal period, graduate students may withdraw from a course, either graduate or undergraduate, without grade penalty only with the written approval of their department chair or graduate studies coordinator and the Graduate School dean (in that order) for such reasons as accident, severe illness, or extreme personal disturbance. A student dropping a course un- der any other circumstances will automatically receive an "F" at the end of the semester or summer term.

Degree Eligibility of lUP Teaching Staff

Members of the faculty at lUP with a rank of assistant professor or above (or equivalent) may not receive a graduate degree from this institution. This regulation applies also to any faculty member employed at this insti- tution full-time at the instructor rank unless such an individual is already an approved candidate for a degree in the Graduate School of lUP at the time he or she is given full-time employment as an instructor. Faculty members may, however, register for work in the Graduate School and ap- ply the credits earned toward graduate degrees to be conferred by other institutions. Special cases will come before the Graduate Council.

Grading System

The following grades are used in reporting the standing of students at the end of each semester or summer term:

Graduate School Procedures - 45

A - Excellent I - Incomplete

B - Good R - Research in Progress

C - Fair W - Withdrawal

F - Faihire

No "D" grade is recognized in lUP graduate work but may be earned by a graduate student enrolled in an undergraduate course.

Quality points are assigned as follows: A - 4; B - 3; C - 2. No quality points are carried by the notations F, I, R, and W.

The notation "I" is used to record work which, as far as it has progressed, is of passing grade but is incomplete because of accident, ill- ness, pregnancy, or extreme personal disturbance. "1" grades must be made up within 180 calendar days after the grade was issued; otherwise, the "I" grade will be converted to an "F." The "R" notation pertains only to thesis and dissertation research credits when such research is in progress as a semester or summer terms ends, or in certain practicum-type courses approved for this notation by the Graduate School dean. All "R" grades are replaced by the grade eventually assigned when the research is completed. The "W" notation applies to certain withdrawals from courses. Withdrawals from the university and discrete course withdrawals are discussed in other sections of this catalog. Note that an "F" is entered in the student's permanent academic record if a withdrawal of either type has not been processed in accordance with established procedures.

Graduate Student Assembly

Each lUP department offering a graduate program is required to establish a graduate studies committee and is urged, but not required, to form an association for its graduate students. On a universitywide basis, the Graduate Student Assembly (GSA) is the graduate students' organization. GSA is composed of two representatives (and frequently an alternate) elected by the full-time and part-time graduate students of the department. GSA serves graduate students through voting representation on the Gradu- ate Council and the University Senate, by making recommendations about graduate student affairs to the Graduate Council and/or the Graduate School dean, and by working through university channels to improve the social, intellectual, and cultural life of graduate students.

Graduate Study Beyond the Master's Degree

It is not unusual to find graduate students enrolling in more courses than they need to meet the requirements of a master's degree. Such action can be beneficial beyond the personal satisfactions which accrue, because the added studies may be well received by employers whether in business, government, or the school system in such matters as certification.

46 - The Graduate School at lUP

However, students should understand that most graduate schools have residency requirements at the doctoral as well as master's level and fre- quently will accept no more than thirty graduate semester hours earned elsewhere as applicable to a doctorate.

Graduation

Early in their final semester or summer session, students must file an ap- plication for graduation. Forms are in the Graduate School and require departmental and Graduate School approvals. Applications must be filed by the deadlines shown on the Graduate School calendar. If all require- ments have been met, the degree will be awarded at the next established diploma-award date. An official diploma will be presented to the student at that time. Deadline dates are published in the back of this catalog.

Independent Study/Individualized Instruction Maximum

Only six credits of Independent Study and/or Individualized Instruction work may apply toward a graduate degree unless prior written authoriza- tion for hours in excess of six is obtained from the student's graduate coordinator and the Graduate School dean, in that order.

Internship Policy

To qualify for a graduate internship appointment, the graduate student must have a minimum of twelve lUP graduate credits earned and a mini- mum 3.0 grade point average; must have been in full-time enrollment (nine graduate credits or more) during the semester or summer sessions (the latter taken as a whole) immediately preceding the academic period for which internship is requested;* and must meet departmental internship criteria. No more than six internship credits may apply to a graduate degree unless written approval of the student's department chair or gradu- ate coordinator and the Graduate School dean (in that order) is obained. Continuation in an internship experience by a given graduate student is contingent upon the student's maintenance of satisfactory performance in all aspects of his/her degree program. Programmatic exceptions to the foregoing policy can be made only with the approval of the Graduate Council.

*For graduate students active during summers only, or during fall-spring semesters only, the phrase "immediately preceding the academic period," etc., refers to the student's last preceding active semester or summer session.

Graduate School Procedures - 47

Principal Certification

lUP offers a performance-based school principal certification program in elementary and secondary education. Those who wish to pursue this pro- gram must first be granted admission to the Graduate School, liefore ap- plying, however, potential apphcants should consult with the director of the principal's certification program (Dean's Office, College of Education, Stouffer Hall).

Program Changes

To insure their quality and relevance, graduate programs at lUP are sub- ject to review and change by duly appointed and responsible university groups. Because of this, the university recognizes that provisions must be made to prevent hardship to students already enrolled in programs if changes later occur in specific or general program requirements. Students affected by changes in programs, policies, and regulations are therefore given the option of following those requirements in effect when the stu- dent was first admitted to the program or those in effect at the time of expected graduation. The student cannot, of course, combine chosen ele- ments of the two. Should a question of rule interpretation arise with respect to changes, the student, the student's adviser, or both should peti- tion the Graduate School dean for a decision about which requirements apply.

Residency

Master's degree candidates have no formal residency requirements, but all credits applied toward the degree (except a possible six transfer credits) must be taken through lUP. In addition, all candidates must complete their programs's final six credits of graduate work in courses offered by lUP.

Student Rights and Responsibilities

Upon admission to the Graduate School, students assume responsibility for knowing program requirements and following departmental advising requirements when selecting and registering for courses. Students are also responsible for knowing the procedures for paying fees, processing class drop-adds and withdrawals, and applying for and meeting all requirements for graduation. Conversely, students have the right to expect that program requirements will be made clear, that course requirements — including grad- ing criteria and procedures — will be made known early in a course, and that course grades will represent the instructor's professional and objective evaluation of performance. Students have the right to instruction that en- courages the free and open discussion of ideas and that respects reasona- ble student needs and aspirations. Students share with instructors the

48 - The Graduate School at lUP

responsibility for creating a classroom atmosphere that encourages maxi- mum learning and exhibits a more intense scholarly zeal than that expect- ed in undergraduate studies.

Teacher Certification

Students admitted to the Graduate School who wish to work toward cer- tification in a specific field(s) should check the descriptions of certification programs found in this catalog for requirements related to their pro- gram(s) of interest. If a given certification program requires completion of a master's degree, the master's degree procedures and regulations set forth in this catalog apply. The Graduate School does not, however, certify stu- dents; certification is processed by the dean of the College of Education. For specific information about all certification requirements, please con- tact the Office of Professional Laboratory Experiences, 104A Stouffer Hall, (412) 357-2485.

Time Limitations

Program credits earned at lUP or accepted by transfer are applicable to lUP master's degrees over a period not to exceed five years from the date of their earning unless the period is extended through student petition ap- proved by the student's department and the Graduate School dean. Doc- toral candidates must complete degree requirements no later than seven years after beginning lUP doctoral program course work unless an exten- sion similarly is authorized.

Withdrawals from the University

Graduate students withdrawing from the university (from all courses) for any reason must process such withdrawals through the office of the dean of the Graduate School. The official withdrawal date to be recognized will be established by the Graduate School dean.

Please refer to the early pages of this catalog for a detailed description of the university's refund policy and related matters.

Official notification of course withdrawal will be sent by the Graduate School dean to the student's course instructor(s) and graduate studies coordinator.

No person shall be considered withdrawn from the university unless the withdrawal process described herein has been employed.

Graduate School Procedures - 49

Workshops and Special Credits

The following policy governing workshop and other special-offering credits was passed by the University Senate on May 8, 1979:

The individual master's degree candidate may submit for credit for his or her degree no more than six (6) semester hours of workshop and other special-credit offerings approved by the department offer- ing the degree. Doctoral candidates may submit a further six (6) semester hours of such work beyond the master's or its equivalent if approved by the degree-granting department. Should the work- shop(s) or special credit offering(s) later become a catalog-listed course which is part of the degree program, while the student is still working toward his/her degree, the student may request of the department a retroactive reclassification of credits so earned and upon approval may again use workshop or special offering credits, up to the above maximum, toward a degree. However, the graduate transcript will continue to show the original special topics number and course title under which the course was registered.

Graduate Programs and Courses

Anthropology

Anthropology is the study of human biological and cultural evolution. The discipline is organized into four subfields: sociocultural anthropology, physical anthropology, linguistics, and archaeology. The breadth of an- thropology gives the discipline wide applicability to a variety of careers and lifetime undertakings.

Although there is presently no graduate degree program in anthropology, courses in anthropology may be used as electives for M.A. degrees in other programs.

Course Descriptions

AN 514 Native Americans 3 s.h. Survey of culture history and culture area characteristics of the Indi- ans of North America. Detailed study of representative groups related to historical, functional and ecological concepts.

AN 520 Archaeological Field School 6 s.h. Introduction to archaeological survey, field excavation, and laborato- ry processing. Field school students participate in one or more of the on- going research projects of the lUP Archaeology Program.

Programs and Courses - 55 Art

Art

The two advanced studio degrees offered by the Department of Art, the Master of Arts and the Master of Fine Arts, focus on breadth and depth of icnowledgc in the visual arts, cmphasi/e performance and competency as an artist, and foster artistic growth and maturity across a wide range of creative endeavor.

Admission may be granted for the Master of Art degree in studio only. This degree program requires the successful completion of a minimum of thirty graduate credits that are distributed across a number of required categories. A thesis/exhibition is the culminating requirement within the degree program.

Those students who intend to teach studio in higher education settings, or those who wish to become professional artists, will usually seek admission to the Master of Fine Arts degree. The overall M.F.A. degree program at lUP requires the successful completion of a minimum of sixty credits of course work distributed across several required categories of study. An M.F.A. work exhibition marks the final formal step in degree completion. The Department of Art has structured the overall M.F.A. degree as an ini- tial thirty-credit program (culminating in an M.A. degree in studio) and the final thirty credits focusing on the completion of the terminal degree in the visual arts, the Master of Fine Arts.

The Master of Fine Arts degree program at lUP follows the guidelines and standards that have been adopted by the College Art Association and the National Association of Schools of Art and Design. Nationally, the M.F.A. is used as a guarantee of a high level of professional competence in the visual arts.

Admission Requirements

Individuals seeking admission to graduate study within the Department of Art must meet the general admission standards and adhere to academic policies set by the Graduate School at lUP. The specific policies of the Graduate School are set forth in this catalog.

Standard Departmental Admission Requirements

A. The applicant must either be a graduate of an accredited B.F.A., B.A., or equivalent degree program with a major in one of the studio concentra- tions offered by lUP or be judged by the Graduate Committee of the Department of Art to possess necessary prerequisite studio proficiency. Admission to study in graduate studio is based upon the nature, extent, and quality of preparation in art history, studio, criticism, and related academic and art-related content areas.

B. If the applicant is deemed to be deficient in a particular area of under-

56 - The Graduate School at lUP

graduate preparation (art history, studio, or a related area) the Graduate Committee of the Department of Art may recommend and require satis- factory completion of undergraduate credits that will eliminate any areas of deficiency. Undergraduate credits will not count toward any segment of graduate course work at either the M.A. or M.F.A. degree levels. The sole purpose of the completion of the recommended undergraduate course work is to ensure entry-level competency and ability to engage in serious scholarly and creative studies.

C. Those seeking admission at either the Master of Arts level or the Master of Fine Arts level must declare upon application the studio areas that will constitute the major and minor areas of studio concentration.

D. A slide portfolio of twenty slides reflecting the best and most recently completed work in the applicant's major and minor areas of concentration must be submitted with materials that are required by the Graduate School. Students will not be admitted into the M.A. or the M.F.A. pro- grams unless the portfolio requirement has been met at the point of appU- cation.

E. A goal statement must be submitted by the applicant specifying the areas of concentration and articulating substantive reasons for seeking a graduate degree in the visual arts at either the M.A. or M.F.A. level.

Business

The College of Business offers three separate graduate programs: The Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.), the Master of Education in Business (M.Ed.), and the Master of Science in Business (M.S.).

Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.)

The Master of Business Administration degree program is designed to serve the needs of junior- and intermediate-level business executives who are seeking additional knowledge and skills to do a more efficient job of problem solving and decision making. Also, the program is structured to give recent college graduates advanced training in business management prior to entry into a business career. The M.B.A. may be taken on either a part-time or full-time basis. Courses are scheduled for both day and night sessions, including a full schedule of course offerings in the summer.

Core I of the program consists of ten undergraduate prerequisite courses (31 s.h.) that are designed to provide a foundation in the basic concepts and techniques used in today's business world and prepare the student for the graduate courses in business administration.

Core II of the program consists of 33 credit hours in courses that provide advanced knowledge in the functional and applied areas of business. The 33 credit hours consist of eleven graduate courses (eight required courses

Programs and Courses - 67 Business

and three elective courses chosen by the student from an approved Hst). Students are not required to have a specific major in the M.B.A. pro- gram. The objective of the program is to offer the student either the op- portunity to sample a variety of fields of business or to develop depth in one special area of interest. Students who wish to develop a stronger con- centration than the M.B.A. program allows should consider the Master of Science in Business degree.

Normally, a student with a recent bachelor's degree in Business Adminis- tration from a fully accredited university will have completed all of the Core I courses. This will enable the student to complete the M.B.A. pro- gram in one year of full-time study, whereas a nonbusiness major will re- quire two years — one year for the Core I or undergraduate courses and one year for the Core II or graduate course requirements. Part-time stu- dents typically require between two and five years to complete the program.

Students who have been admitted to the M.B.A. program and who have Core I prerequisites remaining may receive special permission to take some of the courses elsewhere. Students must receive specific permission for all such courses from the College of Business graduate coordinator. Also, it is possible to complete some of these courses by examination only. Again, advance permission is required.

Students seeking enrollment in the M.B.A. program or the M.S. in Busi- ness program must take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) before admission to the degree program and the graduate classes. Information about the GMAT can be obtained from the Educational Test- ing Service, Princeton, NJ 08540 or from lUP University Testing Services, which is located in Career Services ([412)357-2235).

Course Requirements for the M.B.A. Degree

Core I

Students may take one 500-leveI course without permission of the College of Business graduate coordinator. Additional 500-level courses require pri- or written approval. Students may elect one graduate-level course outside the College of Business in related fields as an elective with prior approval of the College of Business graduate coordinator. Examples of other such areas may include Labor Relations, Economics, and other related fields.

Master of Education in Business (M.Ed.)

The Master of Education in Business degree is designed to permit business teachers to broaden their understanding of business, to study current teaching procedures, and to update their knowledge in the new technolo- gies used in business.

Business Education teachers with appropriate prerequisites can earn, at the graduate level, certification in accounting, data processing, marketing, and distributive education while pursuing the Master of Education degree program.

Distributive Education teachers seeking to broaden their background in marketing, merchandising, and management may emphasize these areas in the Master of Education degree program.

While the program was designed for students who have completed the un- dergraduate curriculums in Business Education or Distributive Education, including certification requirements, other students may apply but will be

Programs and Courses - 69 Business

required to complete the undergraduate Business Education requirements as a prerequisite. Individuals without an undergraduate degree in business may pursue graduate work leading to certification in Distributive Edu- cation.

Cooperative education certification may be earned by teachers holding a valid Pennsylvania teaching certificate or its equivalent.

Upon admission to the Graduate School, each student is assigned an ad- viser who will assist the student in scheduling his/her program of studies. Prior to admission to candidacy for the degree of Master of Education in Business, the student must take the Graduate Record Examination apti- tude test. Information about this examination can be obtained from the Educational Testing Service, Princeton, NJ 08540 or from lUP University Testing Services, which is located in Career Services ([412J357-2235).

Chemistry

The Chemistry Department offers two different degree programs on the master's level: the Master of Science and the Master of Arts degrees.

The Master of Science degree is for the chemist who intends to pursue further graduate work leading to a Ph.D. or who intends to work as a professional chemist and desires to become more competent in chemistry. This degree is research oriented, and successful completion of an ex- perimental thesis is required. Also, two consecutive semesters of residency are required.

The Master of Arts degree is designed to meet the needs of the chemist who is currently a full-time employee of a chemical or academic institu- tion and who wishes strengthening in those areas relevant to the profes- sional position. The emphasis here is on course work. The student may also pursue this degree on a full-time basis.

Four core courses, one in each of the areas of inorganic, organic, analyti- cal, and physical chemistry, are required in the M.S. and M.A. pro- grams.* Beyond this point, the programs separate, with the M.S. and M.A. student taking more specialized work in chemistry along with an ex- perimental research problem.

It is expected that most students entering the Ph.D. program in Criminol- ogy will have already completed a master's degree in either Criminology or a closely related discipline. However, in select cases a highly qualified applicant may enter the doctoral track only with a baccalaureate degree. Such students would obtain the M.A. degree enroute to the Ph.D.

Applicants must meet all Graduate School admission requirements. Addi- tionally, the doctoral coordinator, after consulting with the department screening committee, will submit a recommendation regarding applicants to the Graduate School. The following criteria are reviewed:

1. all college transcripts

2. three letters of recommendation

3. statement of goals

4. example of written work (thesis, articles, reports, etc.)

5. GRE scores (A combined score of 900 on the verbal and quantitative sections is expected. Some flexibility may be granted at the discre- tion of the screening committee.)

6. skill requirement (foreign language; computer or statistical ability; or other skills approved by the screening committee or the department's graduate curriculum committee)

7. personal interview (may be requested by department screening com- mittee or by applicant)

Deficiencies in the skill requirement may be satisfied after admission. The screening committee may request an interview with the applicant, or such may be initiated by the applicant. Students may begin doctoral studies in either semester or in some cases during the summer.
