From The President th California University of Pennsylvania began celebrating its 150 anniversary in June 2001 and will conclude on October 12, 2002. For a century and a half, the institution now known as California University of Pennsylvania has helped thousands of men and women realize their dreams. Looking through this year's edition of the Undergraduate Catalog, I am struck by how different it is from those at the beginning of our history. While some of the courses may share the same name as those long ago st offerings, the content and requirements certainly reflect the 21 century. The great emphasis on technology in our society is reflected in these pages as well. This emphasis is apparent not only in the number of courses that focus on that topic in one way or another, but in the description of the university and the amenities it provides to our students. All residence hall rooms, including those at Jefferson@California, are wired for internet access. Students who don't have a PC can find computer labs throughout campus, many open late into the night, including one on every floor of every residence hall. In the early days of our institution, students were required to supply oil for their kerosene lamps. Lights out was at 10 p.m. Lifestyles have changed considerably in 150 years. This year's edition of the Undergraduate Catalog includes academic policies and procedures and outlines more than 100 areas of study, many of which did not exist 150 years ago. We recognize today, as then, that much of the education that takes place here occurs outside the classroom. The Natali Student Center is a hub of activity. It not only contains the student dining room, it offers a full-size movie theatre, various recreational activities and computer labs; and our awarding-winning student-operated electronic and print media also have offices there. The many activities offered through our Student Development area are listed in these pages. Take some time and read the catalog. If you are a student here, it will help to familiarize you with what is available on our campus. If you are thinking of attending, I hope that you will carefully examine the many fine academic options that are described here. I also urge you to make a personal visit to our campus and to talk with our students and our faculty so that you can get a better picture of what we have to offer. Best wishes to you and your family, and I hope to see you at some of the many events that offer students extra enrichment.

The institution that is now California University of Pennsylvania began as an academy 150 years ago. It has evolved over the years into a multi-purpose university. One of the fourteen state-owned institutions of higher education in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, it has the strength and stability of a university system, but it retains its own flavor and unique history. Beginning in June 2001, the University will formally celebrate is Sesquicentennial. For one hundred fifty years, it has been educating students from the Mon Valley and beyond. A 17-month celebration is planned that will highlight the many accomplishments of alumni and celebrate the past and the future of this fine educational institution. 1852: A two-story Academy, offering education from kindergarten through college was established in the recently founded community of California. The institution was supported by local taxes and the donations of community residents. 1864: A ten-acre site for the Academy was purchased. 1865: The Academy obtained a charter as a Normal School for its district and became a teacher-preparatory institution. 1874: The institution was renamed the South-Western Normal School. 1914: The Commonwealth acquired the institution and renamed it the California State Normal School. The curriculum became exclusively a two-year preparatory course for elementary school teachers. 1928: The institution became California State Teachers College, returning to its previous status as a four-year-degree-granting institution, with increasing opportunities for liberal arts education. Under the presidency of Robert Steele (1928-1951), California began to concentrate on industrial arts and atypical education (what is now called special education) and otherwise expanded its curricula. The campus grew to 35 acres, and a number of new buildings were erected. 1959: During the presidency of Michael Duda (1956-68), liberal arts curricula were introduced, and the college became California State College. In 1962 a graduate program was introduced. The degrees of master of arts and master of science were initiated in 1968. During Dr. Duda's presidency, more than a dozen new buildings were completed, and the size of the student body and faculty increased more than four-fold. 1974: During the presidency of George H. Roadman (1969-1977), the college developed a special mission in science and technology to complement its traditional roles in liberal arts and education. 1983: On July 1, 1983, the college became a part of the State System of Higher Education and changed its name to California University of Pennsylvania. Under the leadership of President John P. Watkins (1977-1992), the College of Science and Technology became fully operational, offering programs in such varied areas as mathematics and computer science, industrial management, nursing, energy technology, robotics, and electrical engineering technology. 1992: Angelo Armenti Jr. appointed president of California University. 1996: College of Science and Technology renamed Eberly College of Science and Technology in honor of the Eberly Foundation for its philanthropic generosity. 1997: Cal U Southpointe Center in the Southpointe Technology Center in Canonsburg, PA, opened in January, offering a variety of courses and programs. 1998: The University formally adopts three core values: integrity, civility and responsibility. 1999: The new Eberly Science and Technology Center, a state-ofthe-art facility for the study of science and technology, opened at the beginning of 1999-2000 academic year. 2002: The University Council of Trustees formally adopts a list of Rights and Responsibilities.

Credits are awarded primarily in elective categories. Each veteran or reservist seeking such an award must submit a copy of DD 214 to the Director of Veterans Affairs. Army veterans who entered the army after October 1, 1981, should submit an A.A.R.T.S. transcript; Air Force veterans who served after 1974 should submit a C.C.A.F. transcript. Evaluations based on the latest American Council of Education Guides will be forwarded by the Veterans Affairs Office to the Articulation and Transfer Evaluation Office. 3. Character and Personality. Applicants must be able to demonstrate that they possess the personality traits, interests, attitudes, and personal characteristics necessary for higher education. 4. Admission to Special Curricula. A student seeking admission to a special curriculum may be required to complete additio nal requirements or have earned specific credentials. The Admissions Office considers as many variables as possible in making admission decisions: class rank, cumulative grade point average, type of curriculum completed in relation to proposed major, guidance counselor or other recommendations, on-campus interview, standardized test scores, activities, and maturity. Each of the variables contributes to the overall assessment of applicants. Student Credentials All credentials presented in support of an application for admission become the property of the university and cannot be returned to the student. The complete file will be retained acco rding to the provision of university policy and the Family Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended.

Evaluation of Applicants All applications are individually evaluated. As soon as applications are complete, decisions are reached and applicants notified. Every attempt is made to complete this process within two weeks. Academic Passport & Student Transfer Policy Admission standards have been established by the university to select those students who will be most likely to succeed in the various programs of the university. Academic Passport is a transfer program designed to promote and facilitate the transfer of students in community colleges to State System of Higher Education universities, and to support the transfer of undergraduate credits earned by State System students to other System universities. 1. 2. Academics. An applicant must be a graduate of an approved or accredited secondary school or have an equivalent preparation as determined by any state's Department of Education. Assessment and Ability Standards. An ability to do work in higher education should be evident from an assessment examination such as the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). In certain instances, other kinds of evidence may be used to determine the ability to do such work. 1. Academic Passport Students: A. Transferring with an Associate Degree: Students transferring with an AA or AS degree must have a 2.0 minimum cumulative grade point average (GP A) in all course work presented for transfer from each institution attended. The AA or AS degree recognized for Academic 9 • Passport must contain, as a minimum, 30 hours of liberal arts courses from the fo llowing fields of study: Composition/ Communications, Humanities/ Fine Arts, Behavioral/ Social Sciences, Biological/ Physical Sciences, and Mathematics and Computer Science. A maximum of 45 general education credits and liberal arts course credits earned at the two-year college may be transferred to meet lower division requirements (a course by course match shall not be required) . All additional course credits will be applied first to major courses and lastly, as electives. B. Intra-System Transfers: • • 2. Incumbent State System university students who have attained a minimum cumulative GP A of 2.0 or higher with a minimum of 12 credit hours of college level course work shall hold an Academic Passport enabling transfer to any other State System university. Up to a maximum of 45 general education credits and/ or liberal arts course credits earned at the sending university shall be used to meet lower division university general education requirements (a course by course match shall not be required). Capacity limits and/ or higher admissions standards may apply to certain high demand academic programs. State System students holding the Academic Passport shall be entitled to take any course offered through distance learning and listed in the catalogue at any other System university and have those credits and the grade earned accepted by their home institution. Students Transferring Without Academic Passport Students who have not completed the A.S. or A.

Additional transfer credits will be applied first to major courses and lastly, as electives. With a minimum cumulative GP A of 2.0 or greater in all course work presented for transfer from each institution attended. Transfer Credit Evaluation Policy 1. • • • 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. California University will accept the following transfer credits toward a baccalaureate degree (four years): A maximum of 75 credits from an accredited twoyear community or junior college. A maximum of 98 credits from an accredited fouryear institution. A maximum of 98 credits from a combination of accredited two-year and four-year colleges. Students transferring with a degree may transfer a maximum of 30 credits towards an associate degree (two years); students transferring without a degree may transfer a maximum of 15 credits towards an associate degree at California University. Developmental courses are not transferable. Grades of D are not transferable unless they are counted as part of the Academic Passport or if they were completed at a college or university that has an articulation agreement with California University. When credits are transferred, only the credits are counted as advanced standing, the grade point average of transfer courses is not calculated with California University earned courses. Although credits will always transfer according to these provisions, regulations that govern the national professional accreditation of certain programs offered at California University of Pennsylvania may not permit some courses taken in programs not similarly accredited at other two- and four-year institutions to be transferred as the equivalents of courses that may be similarly entitled or described in this catalog.

Financial Aid Mission Statement The primary mission of the Financial Aid Office at California University of Pennsylvania is to provide financial planning and assistance to students and their families in meeting the costs of education. In fulfilling this mission, each student will be given careful consideration and the university will determine financial assistance based on federal, state, and institutional guidelines. Financial aid programs have been established to provide access to higher education with guidelines to insure fairness in disbursing available funds to qualifying students. The Financial Aid Office strives to insure that courteous, timely, and accurate financial aid services are delivered to all students seeking assistance from our office. Location & Office Hours The Financial Aid Office is located on the first floor of Dixon Hall. The office hours are 8:00-4:00, Monday through Friday. Appointments are encouraged but a daily on-call counselor is available to assist walk-ins. Students can contact the Financial Aid Office by calling 724-938-4415 or by Fax at 724-938-4551. In addition, a 24hour voice mail and question/ answer box telephone system is available to assist students and parents with general financial aid information or to request financial aid materials. How to Apply About Financial Aid A college education is one the most important investments a student and family can make. You and your family will be expected to contribute as much as you can from your own resources (income, savings, and assets) to help meet your college expenses. The purpose of financial aid is to help students and families meet educational expenses that cannot be met through their own resources. Financial aid can be either need-based or non-need-based. The results of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) along with the cost-of-education will determine whether a student has financial need. There are several types of financial aid available. Grants and scholarships are considered "gift aid" because they generally do not have to be repaid. Loans and employment are considered "self-help aid" because loans have to be repaid and by working, you earn money for educational expenses. Loans are by far the largest source of financial aid for the majority of students and families. Most grants, some loans (Subsidized Stafford and the Perkins Loan), and Federal Work-Study are need-based financial aid programs. The Unsubsidized Stafford and the Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) are considered non-need-based. Scholarships can be based upon merit, financial need or both. Approximately 78% of all students attending California University receive some type of financial aid. There are four main sources of financial aid. These include the federal government, the state government, the institution and private entities. The federal government is by the far the largest source of financial aid. Eligibility Requirements In order to be eligible for most federal financial aid programs, you must meet the following eligibility requirements: • have financial need, except for some loan programs. • have a high school diploma or a General Education Development (GED) Certificate, pass a test approved by the U.S. Department of Education, or meet other standards established by your state and approved by the U.S. Department of Education. • be enrolled or accepted for enrollment as a regular student working toward a degree or certificate in an eligible program. • be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen. • have a valid Social Security Number. • make satisfactory academic progress. • sign a statement of educational purpose and a certification statement indicating that you are not in default on a student loan and do not owe money back on a grant. Both statements are found on the F AFSA. • register with the Selective Service, if required. You can register online at the Selective Service System's website. (www.sss.gov) Completing the FAFSA Each year, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Renewal FAFSA. The 2002-2003 F \ F\.\ or Renewal FAFSA is available now. Prior year aid recipie t •, " ill receive a renewal version of the F AFSA that can be used to apply for federal financial aid for the new award year. The Renewal FAFSA will be sent to the address you used on your 2001-2002 F AFSA and will have some information about you preprinted as well as items you must update. If you do not receive your Renewal F AFSA or you are a new aid applicant, you must complete a blank 2002-2003 FAFSA. You can obtain the 2002-2003 FAFSA from a high school guidance counselor, public library, or the financial aid office of a college or university, including the Financial Aid Office at California University. It is important that you read the instructions before completing your F AFSA because the instructions should answer most of your questions. If, after reading the instructions that accompany the F AFSA, you need help completing your form, there are several places you can contact to receive assistance. You can call 1-800-4FED-AID (1-800-433-3243), consult your high school guidance counselor, or contact the Financial Aid Office. Please Note: California University does not have an institutional financial aid application. F AFSA on the Web FAFSA on the Web is an Internet application developed by the U .S. Department of Education, which allows students to complete and submit an electronic version of the 2002-2003 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) directly to the federal processor. The "FAFSA on the Web" site supports Netscape Navigator (4.76 or higher), MS Internet Explorer (4.0 or higher), or AOL (5.0 or higher) Internet browsers. Students wanting to complete their 2002-2003 F AFSA via the web can do so after January 1, 2002. After transmitting an application over the Internet, students mail their signed signature page to the Department (see Personal Identification Number topic listed below for additional information on signature options). The federally approved Central Processing Service (CPS) provider will determine their eligibility for financial aid immediately after receiving the completed application. The FAFSA on the Web site provides students/parents with numerous electronic options, such as checking on the status of the student's FAFSA form, requesting a duplicate set of SARs, tips and shortcuts, and requesting a Personal Identification Number (PIN). The F AFSA on the Web site is located at: www.fafsa.ed.gov. In addition to the web site, a customer service line (1-800-801-0576) is available in order to assist students/ parents access to the same type of information provided at their web site. 13 The Benefits of FAFSA on the Web • FAFSA on the Web is free. • Students can save their application information for up to 45 days so that it can be completed and transmitted later. • FAFSA on the Web does not require software to be installed, so it takes less time before students can actually use the application. • Students can access the FAFSA on the Web page from anywhere, including school or home, making it more convenient to complete the application. • FAFSA on the Web automatically edits applicant answers before transmitting, resulting in better information and fewe r applications rejected by the CPS. • FAFSA on the Web uses skip logic, so it will only ask students those questions that they need to answer. • FAFSA on the Web can support an unlimited number of users, allowing thousands of students to apply at once.

You can complete the paper ve rsion of the Renewal F AFSA or submit an electronic version of the form over the Internet. To use the electronic version you will need a special code called a Personal Identification Number (PIN). The PIN serves as your identifier to let yo u access your personal informat ion in various U.S. D epartment of Education systems. The PIN is similar to the Personal Identification Number that you get from your bank that enables you to access your bank account. Because your PIN serves as your electronic signature, you should not give it to anyone. Students can request a PIN by going to the FAFSA on the Web site www. pin.ed.gov and select the Concentration rrRequesting a PIN." Once yo u successfully complete a request, the federal processor will mail your PIN to you via the U.S. Postal Service. It will take approximately 7-10 days after you request your PIN for you to receive it in the mail.

All students are urged to apply even if the deadline has passed, since late applications are considered if funds permit. Handling Special Circumstances Although the process of determining a student's eligibility fo r financial aid is the same for all students, an adj ustment sometimes can be made if a student has special circumstances. Special circumstances may include a reduction in income due to loss of employment, death or disability of a wage earner, divorce or separation, loss of social security benefits, unusual medical expenses, etc. In addition, a student who does not meet the federal definition of an independent student for financial aid purposes may be able to document those exceptional circumstances in order to be considered an independent student. The Financial Aid Office has a Change of Income Information Form (CIIF), which should be used when the special circumstances involve a loss of income/benefits or un-reimbursed medical expenses, which exceed 7.5% of the family's adjusted income. The Change of Income Information Form will be available after January 2, 2003, by contacting the Financial Aid Office. A student who wants to appeal his or her dependency status for fi nancial aid purposes should file the Dependency Appeal Form for the appropriate school year. A student who does not meet the federal definition of an independent student normally must file as a dependent student and include parental information on the F AFSA. Only students with exceptional circumstances should file the Dependency Appeal Form. U nfort unately, parents' unwillingness to help pay for college, not being claimed as an exemption on parents' tax return, or living on your own does not make a student independent for financial aid purposes. The Dependency Appeal Form is available upon request from the Financial Aid Office. If you think you have special circumstances that you want to discuss with a financial aid counselor, please feel free to contact our office. After You Apply FAFSA Results The federal government will process your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and electronically send the results to the Financial Aid Office provided you listed California as one of the schools to receive the results of your F AFSA. You should receive a paper Student Aid Report (SAR) in the mail approximately two weeks after the federal processor receives your F AFSA. You should review the SAR to see if any corrections are necessary. Otherwise, you can keep the SAR for your records. When you apply for Federal student aid, the information reported on the FAFSA is used in a form ula approved by Congress. This Federal formula determines a student's Expected Family Contribution (EFC), the amount the family (student and parents, if applicable) is expected to contribute toward the student's education. The basic elements included in determining the EFC are: contribution from the parents' income and assets contribution from the student's income and assets number of members in the household number of fami ly members enrolled at least half time in college You can obtain an estimate of your EFC yo urself by using the web calculator available at www .finaid.org/ calculators/ finaidestimate.phtml. The lower your EFC, the more financial need you will have. The lowest EFC possible is zero; the highest is 99,999 or above. If the student's EFC is below 3800, the student may qualify for a Federal Pell Grant (only students pursuing their first baccalaureate degree are eligible). To determine eligibility for other Federal aid, a student's EFC is used in the fo llowing equation: Cost of Attendance less: Expected Family Contribution (EFC) = Financial Need Your demonstrated financial need will determine which programs you qualify for. Even if you have no financial need, you will still qualify for the Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan and/or Parent Loan for Undergraduate Student (PL US). Your parent must be willing to apply for the PLUS Loan and have a satisfactory credit history. tentative (estimate only) pending the completion and outcome of verification. Federal Stafford Loans are not certified until the verification process has been completed. Cost of Attendance Each year the University establishes a total "cost ofattendance" budget based on a student's housing status (commuter, dormitory, or off-campus), enrollment status (full-time or part-time), and residency status (in-state or out-of-state). The cost of attendance budget represents the total educational expenses a student may incur while attending our University, and is a critical element in determining a student's eligibility for Federal Stafford Loan assistance. The elements of this budget are both "direct" institutional expenses (tuition/fees and/or University room/board), as well as "indirect" costs (off-campus housing, books/supplies, and/ or personal expenses) not billed by the University. In some cases, we can build an individual budget for a student or add additional educational expenses with appropriate documentation. Some of the more common expenses for which we can adj ust a budget include the fo llowing: art supplies costs associated with studying abroad dependent child care purchase or lease of a Personal Computer (not to exceed $1 ,200) In order to discuss having your budget adjusted, you would need to obtain appropriate documentation detailing the additional expenses and contact the Financial Aid Office to schedule an appointment with a counselor. Please Note: The indirect/living expenses a student actually incurs will vary significantly from student to student. A student's program of study, year-in-school, housing/board arrangements, student's budgeting skills, and many other variables will affect a student's total expenses within this budget element. The University determines the indirect/ living costs for each student type based on data collected from students, local bookstores, and local landlords. This data is analyzed to arrive at "average" expenses incurred by most students. A ward Letters California University typically starts the awarding process in early April of each year. If you are an accepted freshman/ new student and we have received the results of your F AFSA by the date we begin our awarding cycle, you can expect to receive your A ward Letter Packet by mid-April. For students who have not been accepted and/ or their F AFSA has not been received at the point the awarding process begins, our office will send award packets to these students throughout the summer as their file becomes complete (accepted to the University and receipt of FAFSA record). Please Note: Only accepted students receive an award packet. Verification Upper class or graduate student Award Letter Packets are mailed once we have received the results of your F AFSA and have determined that you are making Satisfactory Academic Progress for financial aid purposes. Some of our financial aid applicants are selected in a process called verification. During this verification process, the Financial Aid Office must verify the accuracy of F AFSA data reported by students. If your F AFSA is selected for verification by the federal government, we will notify you and tell you exactly what documents we need from you. Typically, the students selected for verification will receive an award packet, however these awards are In order to receive financial aid, you must make Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for financial aid purposes as defined by the Financial Aid Office. Our definition of SAP is different from the University's definition of being in good academic standing. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards include three Satisfactory Academic Progress 15 elements: 1) maximum time frame within which a degree or certificate must be granted, (2) minimum credit hours earned per academic year, and (3) minimum cumulative grade point average (g.p.a.). The review of a student's "Satisfactory Academic Progress" (SAP) standing occurs annually at the end of the spring semester. A student's SAP standing will be based on his/ her academic perfor• mance during the academic year [fall and/or spring semester(s)]. Students who are not making satisfactory academic progress are typically notified in early summer. A student who is found deficient in one or more components is put on Financial Aid Probation for the next school year. Students on financial aid probation will be eligible to receive federal Title IV financial aid assistance during this probationary period. Please Note: Students will not be granted financial aid probation for two consecutive academic years. If a student is on probation for a year and is found deficient, the student is ineligible to continue to receive financial aid for the next school year. In order to be reinstated, the student must successfully achieve the required grade point average as mandated by the SAP Policy and/ or successfully make up his/her credit hour(s) deficiency at his/ her own expense. Students may use the summer or any semester of the academic year to resolve their deficiencies. Students who make up their deficiencies must complete and return the "Satisfactory Academic Progress Form", along with all required documents, to the Financial Aid Office before clearing their deficiency status. Only successfully earned credits, not grades, are transferable to California from another approved institution. All Title IV recipients have a right to appeal a financial aid suspension decision by submitting a "SAP Appeal Form" to the Financial Aid Office. Written explanation of the reason(s) why the student failed to meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards must be attached to the appeal form. Appeal forms are available in the Financial Aid Office. The deadline date for filing an appeal for fall is Oct. 4, 2002, and for spring, Feb. 21 , 2003. Students will be notified of a decision within 7 to 10 days after filing the appeal form. If the appeal is denied, a student may file a final appeal to the Director of Financial Aid. This appeal must be filed within 10 working days from the date of the first denial letter. Grants About Grants Grants are considered gift aid and do not have to be repaid. Most grant aid is based on some type of need-based eligibility requirement; therefore, you must complete the F AFSA to apply for most grants. Sources of grants include federal, state, private, and institutional funds. Although grants are a very desirable source of financial aid, the availability of grants is generally limited to the neediest students. For more information about grants and other types of financial aid call 1-800-4-FEDAID and ask for The Student Guide or read it on the Web at www.ed.gov/prog_info/SFA/ StudentGuide/. The United States Department of Education uses a standardized formula, established by Congress and called the Federal Needs Analysis Methodology, to evaluate the information you report on the F AFSA and produce an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) number. Your Student Aid Report (SAR) contains this number and will tell you if you are eligible for a Pell Grant. You can get a booklet called the EFC Formula Book, which describes how a student's EFC is calculated, by writing to: Federal Student Aid Programs P.O.

Students who work a moderate number of hours per week often are able to manage their time better than those students who do not work at all.

All loans, including student loans, represent debts that must be repaid; however, most student loans do not go into repayment until after you leave school or graduate. In addition to delayed repayment, most student loans have relatively low interest rates, several repayment options from which to choose, circumstances under which you can postpone repayment, and other favorable terms and conditions. Student loans can be thought of as an investment in your future as long as you are prepared to meet your repayment responsibilities. Failure to repay your student loans will have serious adverse consequences. It is true that most students would prefer not to borrow; but student loans represent the largest source of financial aid assistance available to students today. Building a budget is one of the most important aspects of student loan borrowing. When borrowing, it is important to carefully plan your budget so that you only borrow what you need, keep track of the total amount borrowed each year, and have some idea as to how you will pay your loans back when the time comes. The Loan Estimator and Repayment Calculator are two electronic tools that can help you with this task. These are available at www.salliemae.com. In addition, the Career Services Office can provide you with information concerning entry-level salaries in most fields. The Postsecondary Educational Gratuity Program is administered by The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) . PHEAA will send an application to the family once it receives notification of the parent's death. Individuals who believe they qualify and have not received an application should contact PHEAA directly. To request an application or to receive additional information, please write or call PHEAAat: At California University, the federal government funds nearly 95% of all loans processed. Over 50% of all financial aid awarded at California University comes from the Federal Stafford Loan Programs. POSTSECONDARY EDUCATIONAL GRATUITY PROGRAM PHEAA Grant Division 1200 North Seventh Street Harrisburg, PA 17102-1444 1-800-692-7435 In order to apply for any type of FFELP (subsidized, unsubsidized, and/or a PLUS loan), you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (F AFSA) or the Renewal F AFSA for the appropriate school year and meet all general student eligibility requirements necessary to receive federal financial aid. Electronic Scholarship Search Engines The Financial Aid Office staff is frequently asked the following questions: "Which awards made by California University might I qualify to receive?" "Are there other scholarships I should pursue?" "If so, where can I get a listing of them and then obtain an application?" We trust that the links provided will assist you in your search. FastWEB www.fastweb.com is the largest and most complete scholarship search on the Internet. It provides access to a searchable database of more than 400,000 private sector scholarships, fellowships, grants, and student loans available to students. 22 Federal Family Educational Loan Programs (FFELP) In addition, you can receive a loan if you are a regular student (must be admitted to California University as a degree- seeking student; non-degree students are not eligible), enrolled in an eligible program of study, and attending at least half time each term. Halftime enrollment is defined as six hours for undergraduate students and five graduate hours for graduate students. Federal Stafford Loan Program (Subsidized/Unsubsidized) The Federal Stafford Loan that you, the student, can borrow in your own name can be either subsidized or unsubsidized or a combination of both. In order to qualify for a subsidized loan, you must have financial need. To determine if you have financial need, your Expected Family Contribution, which is determined by the results of your F AFSA, is subtracted from the cost-of-education. Also, any other aid that you are receiving or are expected to receive is subtracted from the cost-of-education to determine if you have any remaining financial need in order to qualify for a Federal Subsidized Loan. If you do qualify for a subsidized loan, the federal government pays the interest on the loan, i.e. , subsidizes the loan, while you are in school, during your six-month grace period prior to repayment and during any authorized period of deferment. Students without financial need are eligible for the Federal Stafford Unsubsidized Loan . This means that you will be responsible for the interest on the loan from the time you receive the funds until the loan is paid in full. You have the option of allowing the interest to accumulate, or accrue, on the loan while you are in school and during your six-month grace period before repayment. You also have the Concentration of paying the interest on the loan as it accumulates. If you decide to delay interest repayment, the interest that accumulates will be "capitalized," that is, it will be added to your loan principal when you begin repayment. This means your total loan principal will increase. It is better to pay the interest, if you can, because yo u will save money in the end. However, not all students can afford to pay the interest while still in school and that is why you have the option of letting the interest accumulate. How much you can borrow in a subsidized and/ or unsubsidized loan depends up on several factors including your grade level in school and your dependency status for financial aid purposes. Stafford Loan Borrowing Chart Grade Level Annual Amount ,:Freshman Up to $2,625 Up to $3,500 Sophomore Junior/Senior Up to $5,500 Up to $8 ,500 Graduate ,,. combined total of Subsidized & Unsubsidized Please Note: Independent students and dependent students, whose parents cannot obtain a PLUS Loan, may increase their "Unsubsidized" Stafford Loan limit by the following amounts: Grade Level Freshman/ Sophomore Junior/Senior Graduate Annual Amount Up to $4,000 Up to $5,000 Up to $10,000 The interest rate on your Federal Stafford Subsidized or Unsubsidized Loan is variable, which means that the interest rate could change each year of repayment but will never exceed the cap of 8.25 percent. The interest rate is adjusted each July 1. Federal PLUS Loan The Federal Parent Loan for Undergraduate Student (PLUS) is a loan for the natural parent, adoptive parent, or legal guardian of a dependent undergraduate student. In certain circumstances, a stepparent may be eligible to borrow. The first step in applying is to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the appropriate year. The maximum PLUS Loan a parent can borrow is the difference between the cost of education and any other finan cial aid. A parent can obtain a PLUS Loan application from a lender or the Financial Aid Office. The PLUS Loan application is then submitted to the lender. The lender/servicer does a credit check on the parent borrower. The parent borrower must have a good credit history in order to be able to borrow a PLUS Loan. If the parent borrower does n ot pass the credit check, the loan may be denied outright or the parent may be offered the Concentration of obtaining a creditworthy endorser. The endorser would have to be able to pass the credit check, agree to endorse the Promissory Note, and agree to repay the loan if your parent would fail to do so . If your parent is denied a PLUS Loan outright or does not have someone who is willing to be the endorser if offered that Concentration, then you are eligible to borrow an unsubsidized loan in your own name. Freshmen and sophomores (0 to 64 hours) can borrow up to $4000 and juniors and seniors (65 or more hours) can borrow up to $5000. The PLUS Loan interest rate is variable, but it will never exceed its cap of nine percent. The interest rate is adjusted each July 1. The PLUS Loan goes in to repayment within 60 days of the final loan disbursement for the school year. Your parent can choose the Standard, Extended, or Graduated Repayment Plan. (PLUS Loans do not have a delayed repayment Concentration as do subsidized and unsubsidized loans.) There is no grace period on a PLUS Loan so interest begins to accumulate at the time the first disbursement is made. Your parent must begin repaying both principal and interest while yo u are in school. Federal Perkins Loan The Federal Perkins Loan (formerly called the National Defense and National Direct Student Loan) is a federally funded lowinterest loan. California University is the lender using funds from the federal government and/ or payments collected from previous borrowers. The interest rate on the Perkins Loan is five percent, and repayment starts nine months after you leave school or graduate. In order to apply for the Perkins Loan, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Renewal F AFSA for the appropriate school year. California University must receive the results of your F AFSA by our first-priority deadline of May 1. You will need to submit your F AFSA by April 1 to allow time for processing to meet this deadline. In addition, you must have financial need in order to qualify for a Perkins Loan. In general, California University makes Perkins Loans that range from $2000 to $3000 per school year to be disbursed in equal semester payments, i.e., $1000 and $1500 per semester, for two semesters, respectfully. If you are awarded and do not decline your Perkins Loan, you will be sent a Perkins Loan packet which contains a Promissory Note, Statement of Rights & Responsibilities, and Repayment Chart to complete. You must complete and return these forms to the Bursar's Office in order to finali ze receipt of your Perkins Loan. When you graduate (or leave school for other reasons), you must complete a Perkins Loan Exit Interview. This Exit Interview will give you more information about your repayment options, deferments, cancellation provisions, etc. You will be mailed a Perkins Loan Exit Interview Packet the quarter you apply for graduation. You must complete and return the forms in the packet in order to meet your Exit Interview requirement. Failure to do so will result in a "HOLD" being placed on your grades, diploma, etc. If you are leaving school for other reasons, such as transferring to a different school, you should contact the Bursar's Office at 724-9384431 to make arrangements to complete your Perkins Loan Exit Interview. Application Process (Master Promissory Note) Step 1: File the electronic or paper version of the 2002-2003 F AFSA and check "Yes" to question 33 . 23 Step 2: The pre-certification step is the most important step in the loan process. During this step the Financial Aid O ffice will notify you of your maximum Federal Stafford Loan eligibility and type of Stafford Loan (subsidized and/or unsubsidized) based on your fin ancial need and grade level. You will have an opportunity to either decline or reduce your Stafford Loan estimate by completing a "Federal Stafford Loan Adjustment Form" which is available in the Financial Aid O ffice (FAO) . Step 3: The F AO will transmit your Federal Stafford Loan info rmation to PHEAA. If you have never completed a Federal Stafford Promissory N ote, you will receive a pre-printed Federal Stafford Loan Master Promissory N ote (MPN) Packet fro m PHEAA. If you completed a MPN last year at either Califo rnia or another four-year college in Pennsylvania, you will only receive an app roval notice (see step 5) from PHEAA. Please Note: The MPN only needs to be completed once every ten years! Step 4: You will complete the borrower section of the MPN (if applicable). Please be sure that all answers are complete and that you sign and date the MPN. Submit the completed MPN to PHEAA. or Step 4a:: Complete the MPN elect ronically by logging on to PHEAA's website (www.pheaa.org), and click on the ""Apply fo r a Loan " button under "We Can H elp You" and then click on "Online Stafford Loan Application." With your Department of Education Personal Identification Number (PIN), you can even sign your MPN elect ronically. If you need a Department of Education PIN, you can request one by logging on the PIN registration website (www. pin.ed.gov). Please Note: If you are a non-resident student selecting a lender for the first ti me, our office strongly encourages you to select one of our preferred lenders listed on the pre-printed Stafford Loan material which will be mailed to you by PHEAA. If you are completing your MPN electronically, our list of preferred lenders will appear on the PHEAA website. Step 5: Whether completing a pre-printed paper or electronic MPN, PHEAA will mail an "Approval Notice." This notice will indicate the amount of your loan(s), the interest rate and the disbursement dates of your loan(s). If you are not interested in a Federal Staffo rd Loan , please do not complete or retu rn t his MPN . You will hav e an additional opportunity at this point to cancel or reduce your Stafford Loan(s) by contacting PHEAA. Step 6: PHEAA will authorize the disbursement of loan proceeds (Electronic Funds Transfer [EFT] or check) at the appropriate time to Califo rnia University. Finally, all first-time Stafford Loan borrowers must complete a loan counseling session before Staffo rd Loan proceeds can be disbursed to the student. This loan counseling session can be completed via the Internet by going to our homepage at: www.cup.edu and clicking on "Financial Aid" at the top of the screen. Proceed by clicking on "On-line Student Loan Entrance Counseling" located at the bottom of the page. Disbursement of Financial Aid Crediting Financial Aid to a Student's Account In general, once a student's financial aid award(s) has been finalized (all requested forms received, verifica tion completed, enrollment verified, and default status reviewed), the student's semester award amount(s) (except Federal Stafford Loans and Federal College Work-Study) will be credited to his/her account beginning with the second week of the semester. Federal Stafford Loans will also be 24 credited to a student's account once loan proceeds have been received and appropriate authorization (endorsement of loan check or a signed EFT authorization form) has been secured and all other eligibility criteria have been satisfied. Federal College WorkStudy funds are disbursed bi-weekly to the student in the form of a payroll check based on the number of ho urs worked during the pay period. How Registration Affects Financial Aid Eligibility Federal regulations and institutio nal guidelines require students to be registered before any financial aid monies can be disbursed. In addition, all federal and state fi nancial aid programs specify minimum enrollment requirements in order fo r a student to receive any (maximum or partial) assistance from these programs. These minimum enrollment requirements are broken into fo ur enrollment classifications: full-time, three-quarter-time, half-time, and less-than-half-time. The chart below defines the credit hour requirements for each of the five federal aid and PHEAA Grant programs, as well as the percentage of the maximum award a student may qualify for under all four enrollment classifications. Financial Ai d Program Enroll me nt Status Eligible For Award % of Max imum Awa rd Pell Grant Full-tim e 3/4- time 1/2-time < 1/2 time Full-t im e l /2-or-3/4 tim e < 1/2 time Full- time to 1/2 time < 1/2- time Fu ll-time Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Ye s No Yes 100% 75% 50% Va ries 100% va ri es No Award 100% No Yes No Awa rd 100% 3/4 time to 1/2-time < 1/2 tim e Full-time to 1/2 ti me < 1/2 tim e Yes 50% No Yes No Award 100% No No Award Ph eaa Grant Stafford Loans FSEOG & Perki ns Loan Work-Stud y Determining A ward Eligibility Based On Enrollment Status Please Note: Federal and state financial aid awards may be adjusted according to this chart for any student whose enrollment status (as defined above) changes before 60% of the enrollment period, e.g., fall or spring semester, or a special summer session, has elapsed. This would occur when a student drops a class(es) or withdrawals fro m the university. Financial Aid Refunds Financial aid which exceeds the amount the student owes to the U niversity for direct costs will be disbursed to the student in the form of a refund check to cover non-institutional educational costs such as books & supplies, off-campus housing and transportation. These refunds will be available starting the second week of the semester if yo u have satisfied the eligibility requirements for each award. Please Note: Even though refund checks will be available starting the second week of the semester, your student financial aid refund check could be delayed if you meet one or more of the following: your federal and/or state aid has not been finalized, your Master Promissory Note (MPN) was filed late, and/or your MPN or "Free Application fo r Federal Student Aid" (FAFSA) is delayed at PHEAA and/or federal processor due to missing or incorrect information. Financial Planning Students planning to attend Califo rnia University of Pennsylvania should be aware that the cash fro m many of the fin ancial aid programs is not available until the second week of the semester for which the funds are intended. Students should plan to come to the university with enough personal money fo r early term purchases (books, materials, art supplies, etc.) without depending upon financial aid funds. Maintaining Financial Aid Eligibility Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy Federal regulations require all institutions that administer Title IV student assistance programs to monitor the academic progress toward a degree or certificate of those students applying fo r or receiving assistance from those programs. All California University students applying for T itle IV federal assistance must meet the standards stated in this policy, regardless of whether or not they previously received aid. T he fin ancial aid programs governed by these regulations are as follows: Federal Pell Grant Federal Supplemental Educational O pportunity Grant (SEOG) Federal Perkins Loan Federal Stafford Loan (Subsidized/Unsubsidized) Federal Plus Loan Federal Work-Study Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards include three elements: 1) maximum time frame within which a degree or certificate must be granted, 2) minimum credit hours earned per academic year, and 3) minimum cumulative grade point average (g.p. a.). Review Period T he review of a student's "Satisfactory Academic Progress" (SAP) standing occurs annually at the end of the spring semester. A student's SAP standing will be based on his/her academic performance during the academic year [fall and/ or spring semester(s)]. Students who are not making satisfactory academic progress are typically notified in early summer. Maximum Time Frame Maximum time frame is defined as the required length of time it will take a student to complete a degree program based on the appropriate enrollment status (full-time, three-quarter time, or halftime) . For a student to remain eligible for federal aid, the student must conform to the fo llowing time fra me for completion of a degree: Associate Degree Enrollment Status Semesters Full-time (12 or more credits) Three-quarter time (9 to 11 credits) H alf-time (6 to 8 credits) Number of Eligible 6 semesters 9 semesters 12 semesters Bachelor Degree Enrollment Status Semesters Full-time (12 or more credits) Three-quarter time (9 to 11 credits) H alf-time (6 to 8 credits) Number of Eligible 11 semesters 16 semesters 22 semesters Minimum Earned Credit Hours In order to monitor a student's progress toward completing a degree in a prescribed amount of time, a measure of annual progress has been established. The minimum earned credit hours component requires student aid applicants and recipients to successfully earn a minimum number of credit hours per year based on a student's enro llment status. A student must meet the fo llowing earned credit hour standards based on his/ her enrollment status: Enrollment Status':• Year Total Earned Credits per Full-time (12 or more credits) 24 credits Three-quarter time (9 to 11 credits) 18 credits H alf-time (6 to 8 credits) 12 credits ,:- A ssumes a student's enrollment status {full-time, three-quarter time, or half time) remained constant throughout the academic year. The minimum earned credit hours standard listed above will differ if the student's enrollment status varies throughout the academic year. Minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average Each semester the university reviews the "grade point average" (g.p.a.) of each student in order to determine whether the student is maintaining "good academic standing." The university has established minimum grade point averages that students must maintain in order to achieve "good academic standing." Listed below are the minimum grade point averages for each class level: Freshman Sophomore 1.75 Junior 1.95 1.s5::- Senior 2.00 ''Students pursuing an Associate Degree must have a 2. 0 g.p.a. in order to graduate.. A student who fails to meet minimum academic standards (required g.p.a), as defined by the university, will be placed on academic probation status fo r one semester. Students are eligible to receive fin ancial aid during the pro bation semester(s). At the end of the pro bation semester (s), a student must: (1) achieve the required minimum grade point average (student is removed fr om academic pro bation) ; or (2) achieve at least a 2.0 grade point average during the probationary semester (if this requirement is met, the student will continue on academic probation) . A student who is unsuccessful in attaining either one of these levels of academic performance will be academically dismissed from the university. Students who are academically dismissed are considered ineligible for Title N federal aid. H owever, a student who is academically dismissed and is approved for re-admission (through the university's PASS Program only) will be placed on "financial aid probation. " During financial aid pro bation a student is eligible to receive Title N federal aid (see "Financial Aid Probation" section for additional information). 25 Special Grades Financial Aid Suspension I (Incomplete): An incomplete grade does not earn credit or influence the grade point average in the semester in which the course work was taken. If an incomplete has been resolved and the student has earned a passing grade, the credit and grade will be counted toward satisfying the minimum credit hour standards and grade point average requirements. If a student fails to achieve the minimum earned credit hour W (Withdrawal): All withdrawal categories do not earn credit(s) toward graduation or toward satisfying the credit requirements of the SAP Policy. P (Pass): If this grade is awarded, the credits apply toward graduation and toward satisfying the min imum earned credit hour standards, but will not impact a student's grade point average. Repeated Courses: For a course that has been repeated, only the last grade earned is used in calculating the grade point average and the credits are awarded only fo r the semester in which it was repeated. H owever, each time a student enrolls in a course, the course is counted as part of the maximum time frame. Military Transfer Credits In most cases, military training and/ or service school experience credits can be counted in the total credit hours earned by a student for satisfying the minimum credit hour progression requirement. H owever, the military training and/ or service school experience will only be used in satisfying the minimum earned credit hour requirement during the student's first yea r of attendance at Califo rnia University. PHEAA Grant Progress Standard Even though the PHEAA Grant is a non-Title N aid program, the satisfactory academic progress requirements fo r this program are similar to the federal policy. For a student to remain eligible fo r a PHEAA Grant, he/ she must meet the fo llowing minimum earned credit hour standard after every two semesters of state grant assistance: Enrollment Status•:• Total Earned Credits per Year Full-time (12 or more credits) 24 credits Part-time (6 to 11 credits) 12 credits For PHEAA Grant purposes, the repeated course(s) can be counted only once in meeting the 12 or 24 credit hour test. Please Note: A student can only receive a maximum of 8 full-time or 16 part-time semesters of PHEAA Grant assistance. Financial Aid Probation If a student fails to achieve the Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards during the review period as outlined in this policy, the student will be placed on fin ancial aid probation. Students who fail to meet progress standards should refer to the "Financial Aid Suspension" section listed below. Students will remain on fin ancial aid probation fo r the next award year and will be eligible to receive federal Title N fin ancial aid assistance du ring this probationary period. Please Note: Students will not be granted financial aid probation for two consecutive academic years. 26 standard and/ or the minimum grade point average upon the conclusion of a student's financial aid pro bationary period, the student will be placed on financial aid suspension. Students placed on financial aid suspension (progress) will become ineligible fo r futu re Title N assistan ce until the student's SAP deficiency is resolved. Eligibility for Reinstatement In order to be reinstated, the student must successfully achieve t he required grade point average as mandated by the SAP Policy and/ or successfully make up his/ her credit hour(s) deficiency at his/her own expense. The student may use the summer or any semester of the academic year to eliminate his/ her deficiency. Students may take course work at another college or university to resolve the minimum credit-hour deficiency, provided that the credits earned at that institution are transferable to Califo rnia U niversity and the student's college dean or appointed designee has authorized the transient course wo rk. Students who make up their credit-hour deficiency at an institution other than Califo rnia U niversity must have a Financial Aid Transcript sent to the Financial Aid Office. Students who make up their deficiency must complete and return the Satisfactory Academic Progress Form, along with all required documents, to the Financial Aid Office before their deficiency status can be cleared. Please Note: O nly successfully earned credits, not grades, are transferable back to Califo rnia fro m another approved institution. Students can only imp rove their grade point average by taking and successfully completing course wo rk at Califo rnia University. Appeal Procedures All Title N recipients have a right to appeal a fi nancial aid suspension decision by submitting a "SAP Appeal Form" to the Financial Aid Office with a written explanation of the reason(s) the student failed to meet the Satisfactory Academic Policy Standards. Appeal forms are available in the Financial Aid Office. The deadline date fo r filin g an appeal is the thi rd week of classes in any semester that the student is applying for financial aid. Students will be officially notified within 7 to 10 days after filin g the appeal form. If the appeal is denied, fin al appeal must be made to the Director of Financial Aid within 10 working days of the date of the denial letter. Refund/Repayment Policies Refund Policy Students who officially withdraw from the University or from specific classes during the semester may be eligible fo r a refund of a portion of the tuition, fees, room and board paid to Califo rnia U niversity fo r that semester. Refunds are based on the official date of withdrawal as reco rded by the Academic Records O ffice (for additional information see "Withdrawal fro m the University" listed in the Academic Policies section of the catalog). Students who do not fo llow the official withdrawal procedure but who stop attending classes for all of their courses will be considered to have withdrawn at the 50% point of the semester unless attendance is documented after that time. Return of Title IV Funds Formula Two formul as exist fo r determining the amount of the refund: Califo rnia University's Refund Policy (for additional information see "University Refund Policy" in Billing Section) and the federal "Return of Title IV Aid" fo rmula. The federal formula is applicable to any student receiving federal aid and withdraws from the University during the fi rst 60% of a semester. These students will have their federal financial aid (Pell Grants, Supplemental Education O pportunity Grants, Perkins Loans, Federal Stafford and Plus Loans) adjusted based on the percent of the semester completed before the withdrawal. In essence, students will be entitled to retain the same percent of the federal financial aid received as the percent of the semester completed. This percent is calculated by dividing the number of days in the semester (excluding breaks of five days or longer) into the number of days completed prior to the withdrawal (excluding breaks of five days or longer). There will be no adjustment to federal financial aid after the completion of at least 60% of the semester. If any refund remains after the required return of Title IV aid, the refund will be used to repay California U niversity funds, state grant funds, and other private sources and the student in proportion to the amount paid by each non-federal source, as long as there was no unpaid balance due at the time of withdrawal. If there is an unpaid · balance, then all aid sources will be repaid before any refund is paid to the student. Distribution Policy Once the amount of the federal funds to be returned has been calculated, the funds will be returned to the appropriate program(s) in the fo llowing priority order: Unsubsidized Staffo rd Loans Subsidized Stafford Loans PLUS Loans Perkins Loans Pell Grant Supplemental Educational O pportunity Grant Repayment of Unearned Financial Aid Assistance Students who receive a refund of fin ancial aid before withdrawing fro m the Unive rsity may owe a repayment of federal financial aid funds received. Students will be notified by the Bursar's Office and will be given 30 days to repay the funds to the University. Students who fail to return the unearned portion of federal financial aid funds given to them will have a "hold" placed on their University records, thereby preventing them from registering for future semesters until repayment is made in full.

Schola rship: A scholarship is gift aid, whi ch is not repaid. Stafford Loan: A Stafford Loan comes in two forms , unsubsidized and subsidized. Students are required co pay interest o n an unsubsidized loan; whereas, the government pays the interest o n a subsidized loa n while the student is in school, during the six-mo nth grace period, and during any deferment periods. Subsi dized Loan: A subsidized loan is one o n w hich the government pays t he interest whi le t he student is in school, duri ng a six-month grace period, and during any deferment periods. Subsidized loans are based o n need, and may not be used co finance the family contribution. 28 U.S. Department of Education: The US Department of Educat io n administers several Federal student financia l aid programs, includin g the Federal Pell Grant, the Federal SEOG, the Federal Work-Study, the Federal Perkins Loan, the Federal Staffo rd Loan, and the Federal PL US Loan. Verification: Verification is a review process in which t he Financial Aid Office determines the accuracy of the information provided by the student and parents on their FAFSA. During this process, t he student will be required to submit requested documentat ion. Academic Policies Student Responsibilities Students are responsible for securing current information about university policies and for meeting all relevant requirements. Students follow the requirements and provisions of the catalog that is in effect at the time of their initial enrollment. Students who have interrupted their education for more than one year are subject to the provisions of the catalog which is current at the time of their readmission to the university. The university reserves the right to change policies, curriculum requirements, and other provisions as needed. Academic Advising Faculty advisors are available to assist students in planning their academic programs, but students have the responsibility for meeting all requirements for their degrees. Students are urged to take advantage of the advisory and consultation services available at the university. They should feel free to consult with professors, academic advisors, department chairpersons, the deans, and the Provost. All of these university representatives maintain regular office hours for student consultations. Accommodations for Student with Disabilities Accommodations for students with disabilities are approved through the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD). It is the responsibility of the student to adhere to OSD procedures for selfidentifying, providing documentation and requesting reasonable accommodations in a timely manner. Students must meet the academic/technical standards of the classes/ programs for which are applying and/ or in which they are enrolled. In those instances where the class/program requirements simulate responsibilities of in-service personnel, students must meet the essential functions of the job. For accommodation assistance, contact the Office for Students with Disabilities (Keystone Education, 112, call 724-938-5781) or visit the OSD Web site at http://sai.cup.edu/ osd. Semester System California University operates on a semester system with Fall and Spring semesters of approximately 15 weeks. In addition, there is a Summer term that typically includes a 10-week session and two five-week sessions, which run from June to August, and special sessions in May and August. Course Numbering System Courses numbered 100 to 499 are undergraduate courses. Courses numbered 500 may be taken for undergraduate or graduate credit, and courses numbered 600, 700 & 800 are graduate level courses. In certain circumstances, undergraduate students are allowed to take graduate level courses for either undergraduate or for graduate credit. Courses are generally numbered in the following way: 100-199 Freshman level 200-299 Sophomore level 300-399 Junior level 400-499 Senior level Generally, courses whose numbers end in 9 (such as 209 and 459) consist of independent study or internship and registering for such courses typically requires special permission. Credits Credit for course work is recorded in credit hours. For most courses, one credit hour represents one class meeting per week. For laboratory classes, the ratio may differ somewhat from one department to another, but usually two or three hours of laboratory work are worth one credit hour. A full-time student is one who is taking twelve or more credits. A student taking fewer than twelve credits is considered a part-time student. Only registered coursework in a given term is counted toward a student's full- or part-time status for that term. The work that a student might need to do for an Incomplete from a previous term will not count toward a student's full- or part-time status for the current term. Students expecting to progress from one class to the next on an annual basis and graduate in four years should complete an average of 32 credits per year, or 16 credits per semester. Grading System California University uses the following grading system for all courses: Grade Quality Points per Credit Interpretation A B C 4 3 2 Superior Attainment Above Average Average Below Average Failure Audit Incomplete Incomplete Failure Passing Official Withdrawal Withdraw Passing Withdraw Failing Administrative withdrawal Unofficial withdrawal D F AU I IF p w WP WF wx uw 0 Not Not 0 Not Not Not 0 Not Not calculated calculated calculated calculated calculated calculated calculated Quality Point or Grade Point Average To calculate a quality point average (QP A) or grade point average (GP A) divide the total number of quality points earned in regular courses at this university by the total number of credit hours attempted. For example, if a student has attempted a total of 60 credits, with 12 credits worth of A ( = 48 quality points), 24 of B ( = 72 quality points), 15 of C ( = 30 quality points), 6 of D ( = 6 quality points), and 3 of F ( =0 quality points), this student would have a total of 156 quality points, or a QP A of 2.60. In computing the QP A, the fo llowing courses and credits are not included: courses and credits transferred from other institutions, advanced placement courses, courses passed by examination, courses in which a P grade was assigned, CLEP credits, or credits granted for military service. If a student repeats a course, only the repeat grade is counted. Although developmental courses do not count towards graduation, the credits earned in them are used in determining a student's QPA. Appealing a Grade or Other Academic Decisions University decisions are based upon applicable policies, rational procedures, and sound decision-making principles. Concerning a student's grade, it must be understood that it is not the policy of 29 the administration to change a properly assigned grade - i.e., one based upon recorded grades for quizzes, exams, assignments, projects, and other grade criteria as indicated on the course syllabus or outline. However, when a student alleges violations of sound academic grading procedures, the University administration and faculty mutually support a student appeal procedure that gives both the student and the faculty member a fair process to substantiate and/ or refute those allegations. In appealing a grade, a student should first contact the faculty member who issued that grade to discuss the reason for the grade. If the student is not satisfied with the faculty member's explanation, the student should then contact the faculty member's department chairperson. This contact must be in writing and must be filed with the chairperson within thirty working days after the beginning of the fall or spring semester following the term in which the grade in question was given. The chairperson shall notify in writing the student and faculty member of his/ her findings and decision within 15 working days of his/ her receipt of the appeal from the student. If accord is not reached through the chairperson, the student may then appeal to the college dean. Such appeal must be in writing and must be filed with the dean within 15 working days from the date of the final written determination of the chairperson. The dean shall notify in writing the student and faculty member of his/ her findings and decision within 15 working days of his/her receipt of the appeal from the student. The final source of appeal is the Provost. This final step should be taken only if there is no possibility for resolution at an earlier stage, and only if the student is convinced that arbitrary and/ or capricious standards were applied. The appeal to the Provost must be in writing and must be filed with the Provost within 15 working days from the date of the final written determination of the dean. The Provost shall review the matter and take action as necessary to provide equity in the situation. absences. The student must, in all cases, arrange to make up examinations or other work missed because of absence, according to terms and a schedule agreeable to the professors. It is the student's responsibility to inform professors of the cause of any absence, if possible, in advance. Students should notify their college Dean of lengthy absences due to illness or other causes, and appropriate documentation may be required in such cases. The Dean will in turn notify the professors concerned. Requests for absence due to official university activities, such as field trips or athletic contests, must be made to the appropriate university official. The Health Center does not issue medical excuses. Under certain circumstances the Health Center will notify professors about students' absences (or other failure to fulfill academic obligations) due to medical conditions; on the basis of this notification, individual professors in turn will determine whether or not to excuse the absences. The temporary grade of Incomplete is not automatically awarded even if excused or explained absences have prevented completion of required work by the end of the semester. Good Academic Standing Students who achieve the minimum Quality Point Average (QPA) or Grade Point Average (QP A) for their class rank are in good academic standing. Class Rank (Total Credits Earned) Freshman (1-31) Sophomore (32-63) Junior (64-95) Senior (96 or more) MinimumQPA 1.75 1.85 1.95 2.00 All earned credits including transfer credits and other advanced standing credits that have been officially accepted are counted in determining a student's class rank. All attempted credits at California University are used in determining a student's QPA. In the case of other academic decisions, the student should follow the same appeal procedure insofar as possible. In matters relating to student conduct and discipline, the Vice President for Student Development has authority to review student appeals. In matters relating to financial aid, see the section on Financial Aid in this catalog; in matters relating to teacher certification, see the relevant section in this catalog; in matters relating to transfer credits, contact the articulation and transfer office as the first point of contact, and follow the same appeal procedure as listed above. Students who do not achieve the minimum QP A for their class rank will be subject to Academic Probation or Academic Dismissal. Satisfactory Academic Progress is also required for continued eligibility for financial aid. Cheating and Plagiarism A student whose total number of credits attempted has reached or exceeded twelve and whose overall QP A is below the specified minimum for his or her class rank will be placed on Academic Probation. Truth and honesty are necessary prerequisites for all education, and students who attempt to improve their grades or class standing through any form of academic dishonesty may be penalized by disciplinary action ranging from a verbal reprimand to a failing grade in the course or dismissal from the university. If the situation appears to merit a severe penalty, the professor will refer the matter to the appropriate dean or to the Provost. Academic Probation Before registering for a new term, students on Academic Probation must have their schedules approved by the Associate Provost for Student Retention and must agree to satisfy additional requirements during the probationary semester. A student on Academic Probation who: Class Attendance Regular class attendance is a prerequisite to successful class performance. University policy permits class absence for cause but places an obligation for successful completion of course work on the student. There is no single, university-wide policy on class attendance or on cuts; but professors may establish their particular policies on absences, assess reasonable penalties if students do not observe these policies, and treat unexplained absences as unexcused 30 attains the minimum overall QP A for his or her class rank and satisfies other requirements will be removed from Academic Probation. attains a 2.00 QP A during the probationary semester and satisfies other requirements, but fails to attain the minimum overall QP A for his or her class rank will be permitted to return to the university on Continuing Academic Probation. does not attain the overall QP A for his or her class rank and does not achieve a 2.00 QP A for the probationary semester, or fails to satisfy other requirements will be dismissed from the university. Academic Dismissal The university reserves the right to refuse the privilege of furth er attendance to students who have failed to meet minimum academic requirements. If a student's cumulative grade point average remains below the required minimum after a probationary semester, the term grade point average during a probationary semester is below 2.00, and the student fails to meet other requirements, he or she will be dismissed from the university. Incomplete Grades An Incomplete (I) is assigned when a professor is convinced the student can complete or make up work. Faculty members may submit a final grade based on work completed and not accept late work. However, when appropriate explanation and documentation of an illness are given, professors will not penalize students if makeups are possible or if grading on work completed is reasonable. After the required work has been completed, the professor will submit a Change of Grade form to the Academic Records Office. The student, however, is responsible for contacting the professor regarding arrangements that should be made to complete the work for the course. (Students are not required to register for the course again) Transcripts Transcripts are issued by the Academic Records Office, Dixon Hall. Each transcript costs $3, and payment must be received before the transcript is issued. Checks and money orders should be made payable to California University of Pennsylvania. All transcripts are issued according to the provisions of the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 as amended: see also the section on Confidentiality of Records in this catalog. A request for a transcript must be made in writing, to ensure that academic information is not improperly disclosed. Telephone requests for transcripts cannot be honored. The request may be ma.de by completing a form in the Academic Records Office or by wntmg a letter to that office indicating (a) the number of transcripts required, (b) the type of transcripts required (i.e., undergraduate, graduate, or both) , and (c) the name and address of the person or institution where the transcript should be sent. Transcripts will not be issued to a third party without the written consent of the student. If a transcript is issued to a student, a notation to that effect appears on the transcript. Transcripts marked in this manner are sometimes not considered official when presented to a third party by the student. Transcripts are issued as quickly as possible, but in busy periods of the academic year there may be some delay. Requests should therefore be made well before the transcript is due elsewhere. No transcript will be issued to a student whose financial obligations to the university have not been met in full. If the required work is not completed within one calendar year, the Incomplete grade will be converted to I-F. This conversion will occur even if the student has not been enrolled at the university during this calendar year. The I-F grade is considered in the computation of the student's grade point average as an F grade. Students who wish to have an extension of the time allowed to complete the work must obtain approval from the dean of their college. Graduating seniors must resolve their Incomplete grades by the last day of classes of the term in which they intend to graduate. Otherwise, these Incompletes immediately become I-F's, and graduation may be correspondingly affected. The work that student might need to do during one term for an Incomplete from a previous term will not count toward a student's full- or part-time status for the current term. Grade Reports At the end of each semester and summer session, grade reports are mailed to students at their permanent home address. For this reason, all students should be certain the Academic Records Office has their correct permanent address. In compliance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, such grade reports are sent to students and not to their parents or guardian. A grade report will not be sent if a student's academic records have been sealed. Midterm grades are also reported for some students. These reports are available from each student's academic advisor or in the Office of Student Retention. Registration Eligibility to Register All students who have been admitted to the university and who are in good academic, financial, and disciplinary standing are eligible to register. Students who are not in good standing with the university may, under special circumstances, be given clearance to register for classes. Enrollment and Matriculation A student seeking a degree or credit certificate from California University is considered a matriculated student and must meet the graduation or completion requirements for his or her declared major or program. An individual who enrolls for classes but is not seeking a degree or credit certificate from California University is considered a non-degree student. A non-degree student wishing to matriculate into a degree or credit certificate program must satisfy admission requirements for that program. Registration Procedures Registration for an upcoming semester may be completed during the registration periods identified in the Schedule of Classes published each semester. This publication contains specific information and instructions regarding these registration periods. Registration includes academic advising, scheduling courses, and payment of tuition and fees. Prior to scheduling classes, each student should meet with his or her academic advisor to discuss his or her progress and develop a schedule for the upcoming semester. Entering a student's schedule into the university's registration system creates a financial obligation by the student to the university, and students who do not make payment arrangements by the announced due date will have their semester schedules canceled. 31 Credit Overload During the Fall and Spring semesters, full-time students may register for 18 credits without special permission. Students wishing to register for 19 or more credits must obtain written permission from their advisor and the Dean of their college. Only in exceptional circumstances will a student be allowed to register for more than 21 credits. Additional tuition and fees are charged for all credits in excess of 18. During the Summer terms, students may register for 6 credits in any one session or 18 credits for the summer without special permission. Degree-seeking students wishing to register for additional credits during the Summer terms must obtain written permission from the Dean of their college, and non-degree students wishing to register for additional credits must obtain permission from the Director of the Summer School Program. Students are charged tuition and fees on a per credit basis for all courses during the summer. CE. A passing grade does not affect the QP A; however, a failing grade will lower the QP A. Earned credits will count towards graduation. Course challenge forms may be obtained in the Academic Records Office, Dixon Hall. Schedule Adjustments (Add/Drop) Class schedules may be changed during the add/ drop period using the schedule adjustment forms. All schedule adjustments are governed by the following regulations. 1. Prior to making schedule adjustments, a student should consult with his or her academic advisor to discuss how the adjustment will affect his or her academic progress. 2. Courses may be added prior to the second class meeting during the Fall and Spring semesters and during the first day of a su=er term. Adding a course may require the signature of the instructor, department chair, and/or college dean. 3. Students may drop courses without having a grade assigned during the first six weeks of a semester; before the end of the second week of a five-week summer term; or before the end of the fourth week of a ten-week summer term. 4. After the deadline for dropping a course without grade assignment, students who drop a course or courses will receive WP or WF grades. Each professor will assign the appropriate grade and the College Dean will translate A , B, and C grades to WP, and D and F grades to WF . 5. A student may audit a course with the understanding that he or she will receive neither a grade nor credit for the course. The course will be listed on the student's transcript without affecting the QP A. Once a course is registered for audit, it cannot be converted back to a credit course. No student is permitted to drop a course: during the last three weeks of a semester; during the last two weeks of a five-week su=er term; or during the last three weeks of a ten-week su=erterm. 6. Students may register to audit a course according to the following schedule: 15 week session - within the first 6 weeks 5 week session - within the first 2 weeks 10 week session - within the first 4 weeks Audit courses are billed at the same rate as courses taken for credit. Audit forms are available in the Academic Records Office, Dixon Hall. Ceasing to attend class does not constitute official withdrawal! Students must officially drop from a course. Leaving a course without officially dropping it may result in the assignment of an F grade by the professor. If the professor does not assign a grade, the designation of UW (unauthorized withdrawal) will be assigned by the Registrar. 7. Students who drop below full-time 0ess than 12 credits) or to less than half-time 0ess than six credits) should contact the Financial Aid Office prior to completing the drop. Admission to a Closed Section A student seeking admission to a closed section should obtain a schedule adjustment form and consult with the instructor or chairperson of the department that offers the course. Admission to a closed section requires the signature of the instructor or department chair and the dean of the college that offers the course. Repeating a Course A student may repeat a course previously taken at California University. In such cases, only the later grade will be counted in the student's QP A. The original grade, however, will remain on the student's transcript. Some courses may be repeated for credit and are exempt from this policy. Auditing A Course Credit by Examination/Course Challenges Students may earn credit for a course by passing an examination rather than taking the course. In order to do so, the student must obtain permission from the chairperson of the department that offers the course and the Provost. The student must register for the course and pay tuition and fees for the course. Once a student registers to challenge a course, it cannot be converted back to a regular course. Students may register to challenge a course according to the following schedule: 15 week session - within the first 6 weeks 5 week session - within the first 2 weeks 10 week session - within the first 4 weeks Only grades of P (Pass) or F (Fail) will be recorded, and the course will be further identified on the student's transcript by the symbol 32 Withdrawal from the University A student who decides to withdraw from the university during any academic term, regardless of the reason, must contact the Academic Records Office immediately. All withdrawals are governed by the following regulations: 1. An honorable dismissal is granted to a student who withdraws from the university in the official manner, has met all financial obligations to the university , and has been properly cleared by the Registrar. 2. If the student withdraws officially during the first six weeks of a semester, a W grade is recorded for each course scheduled. A W grade carries no academic penalty and is not counted in the student's QPA. For an official withdrawal from a five-week session, W grades will be recorded during the first two weeks only. 3. 4. 5. 6. After the sixth week of the semester, a student who makes an official withdrawal receives WP or WF grades in all courses scheduled. Professors assign A, B, C, D, or F grades, and the Dean assigns WP grades to A, B, and C, and WF to D or F grades. For five-week courses the WP-WF grades are assigned after the end of the second week. grades, such as Incomplete, are assigned. After this period, the date of the Administrative Withdrawal and the reason for the withdrawal are considered. 1. For failure to comply with academic requirements, only WP or WF grades are assigned. No student is permitted to withdraw officially from the university during the last three weeks of a semester or summer term. 2. For failure to pay tuition and fees, only WX is assigned. 3. For Disciplinary Suspension or Dismissal, only WP or WF grades are assigned. 4. For health or psychological reasons, WX or - only with the approval of the affected instructor - an Incomplete may be assigned. 5. For other reasons not covered in 1-4, grade assignments will be at the discretion of the Provost or his or her designee. Leaving the university without notifying the Academic Records Office and making an official withdrawal may result in automatic failure for all courses scheduled. It also makes the student ineligible for refund of tuition and fees, and may affect academic status and financial aid. Improper withdrawals will be classified as unauthorized withdrawal and the designation UW used for all registered courses if another grade has not already been assigned by the professor. Students planning on withdrawing from the University should consult with the Financial Aid Office prior to completing the withdrawal process. Administrative Withdrawals The university administration has the authority to withdraw a student from the university and to revoke that student's registration at any time for the following reasons: 1. Registration in violation of university regulations (e.g., academic ineligibility to register). 2. Failure to comply with academic requirements (e.g., unsatisfactory class attendance, violation of the learning contract for students on academic probation, etc.). 3. Failure to pay university tuition and fees by the due date. 4. Disciplinary suspension or dismissal for the remainder of an academic term or longer. 5. Severe psychological or health problems s~ch that the student cannot be permitted to continue in attendance. 6. Other reasons deemed appropriate by the proper administrative officer. Grades of WP, WF, WX are recorded for Administrative Withdrawals. The grade of WX is not computed in the student's grade point average and therefore involves no academic penalty. The Registrar must authorize the recording of this grade. If a student registers in violation of the academic eligibility rule, the registration is declared invalid, the tuition and fees paid by the student are refunded in full, and no grades are recorded. In other cases of Administrative Withdrawal, the date of the withdrawal and the reason for the withdrawal are used to determine the grade to be recorded and the amount of tuition and fees to be assessed or cancelled. In most cases, the regular tuition and fee assessment and refund policies of the university prevail. For Administrative Withdrawals during the first six weeks of a semester or two weeks in a five-week summer session, the grade of WX is recorded for all courses on a student's schedule. No other The Registrar has the authority to antedate an administrative withdrawal if circumstances warrant such action. Disciplinary suspensions or dismissals are initiated by the appropriate authority in the Office of Student Development and written notification is sent to the Academic Records Office, who cancels the student's registration and notifies other administrative offices and faculty members as necessary. If faculty members have reason to inquire about a specific case of Administrative Withdrawal, they should consult the Registrar or the Office of the Provost. In certain cases, the student's right to confidentiality may not permit full disclosure of the circumstances. Readmission to the University Students who wish to return to the university after an absence of three consecutive terms and are in good standing with the university must apply for readmission to the dean of the undergraduate college in which they will be enrolled following their readmission. In cases of Academic Dismissal, readmission to the university is not automatic. Students who have been dismissed for unsatisfactory academic performance will be considered for readmission only if they have satisfied the conditions for readmission that were stipulated at the time of their dismissal. Students who have been academically dismissed must apply for readmission through the Office of Student Retention. Any student who has been academically dismissed will be denied Title IV financial assistance (federal grants, loans, and student employment) . Therefore, if readmitted, the student must attend without the benefit of Title IV financial aid until the required minimum QP A for his or her class rank and/ or the completion of the minimum credit hour standard have been achieved. Exceptions may be considered for students on Financial Aid probation or who have filed a Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) appeal (please refer to the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy statement issued by the Office of Financial Aid). In the case of Disciplinary Suspensions or Dismissals, students must satisfy the conditions for readmission that were stipulated at the time of their dismissal and receive permission from the Vice President for Student Development to return to the university. Applications for readmission should be submitted at least one week before the registration date for the term in which the student desires to enroll. 33 Former students will not be readmitted to the university until all past indebtedness has been paid. Academic Forgiveness Policy Academic Forgiveness is intended for the student who is returning to the University with a grade point deficiency and who has not been enrolled at Califo rnia University of Pennsylvania for four consecutive academic years immediately preceding the readmission semester. Only students applying after the effective date of this policy will be eligible fo r fo rgive ness under this policy. This policy supersedes all previous Academic Forgiveness Policies at Califo rnia U niversity of Pennsylvania. When forgiveness is granted, all California University grades earned prior to the fo ur consecutive academic year period as well as grades transferred from classes completed at other institutions before or during the fo ur-year period, are excluded from the computation of the grade point average; however, no grades will normally be removed from the permanent record. Academic fo rgiveness will be granted only once for any student and forgiveness extended by Califo rnia University might not be recognized by other academic institutions to which the student may t ransfer. The Registrar will give consideration fo r academic fo rgiveness when a signed written request is received. If the student attended any institution of higher education, during the specified four-year period, he/ she must identify the institution (s) and arrange to have official transcripts sent to the Registrar. All students requesting academic forgiveness must earn at least a 2.0 GP A during the first twelve credit hours of coursework attempted at Califo rnia University after readmission. The student's request for forgiveness m ay be submitted during the semester of readmission or thereaft er and must identify the fo ur-yea r non-enrollment period. If all prerequisite conditions have been met, academic fo rgiveness will be granted. Other decisions regarding academic forgiveness ar e subject to approval by the Provost of the University. College Level Examination Program (CLEP) The university offers the opportunity to earn undergraduate credit th ro ugh the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), which has two testing categories, the General Examination and the Subject Examination. The General Examination is a series of tests in five separate areas: English Composition, N atural Sciences, Mathematics, Humanities, an d Social Science/ History. A student may earn up to thirty credits by passing the appropriate tests in these areas. Califo rnia University does not accept English Composition CLEP credits. T he Subject Examination comprehensively tests a single subject, such as General Psychology, Statistics, etc. A student who passes one of these examinations is awarded credit fo r a comparable course at the university . The CLEP p rogram is administered by the Advising & Placement T esting Center and the Southpointe Center. T here is a one-time fee of $25.00 fo r evaluation of the CLEP results and recording the results on the student's transcripts. Undergraduate Credit for Graduate Course U ndergraduate students may enroll in graduate courses fo r undergradu ate credit if they meet the necessary requirements for those courses. Individual departments determine th e prerequisites 34 fo r each course. Graduate status may be a prerequisite for admission to some courses. Graduate credits used to fulfill undergraduate requir ements may not also be used to fulfill requirements in a graduate program . Graduate Credit Load for Seniors Undergraduates who ar e in their last term on campus and wh o are completing or have completed all the requirements fo r their undergraduate degree may enroll in grad uate classes fo r gradu ate credit. They must fu lfill all require ments fo r ent rance into G raduate School (other than the undergraduate degree or teaching certification). Transfer Credits Current Califo rnia U niversity students who wish to take courses at some other college or university to transfer back to Califo rnia University, should get app roval to do so from their advisor and from the dean of their college at California U niversity before registering fo r and taking such courses. Students seeking to tran sfer credits to Califo rnia U niversity should note the fo llowing guidelines and should refer transfer credit questions to the Articulation and Transfer Evaluation O ffice: 1. Tran sfer credits are usually determined by their equ ivalency to California U niversity courses. 2. Only courses in which a grade of C or better is earned will transfer unless a student qualifies under the Academic Passport Policy (See Academic Passport Policy in the admissions section of this catalog.) 3. C redits tran sfer, but grades and quality points do not. Transfer credits cannot raise a student's QP A; therefore, do not take repeat co urses at another institution. 4. Courses tak en at a community college, the equivalents of which ar e designated as upper-level courses at California, may transfer only as electives rather than equivalents to courses offered at Califo rnia University. Dual Majors, Second Majors And Second Degrees Califo rnia University grants the fo llowing undergraduate degrees: B.A.; B.S.; B.S. in Education; B.S.N; and A.S., A.A.S., (All except the last two are fo ur-year, baccalaureate degrees.) These are referred to below as degree areas. A distinction is drawn between the following objectives and opportunities and between the mean s to achieve them: (1) a Dual Major; (2) a Second Major; (3) a Second D egree and (4) a Dual Degree. These opportunities, as explained below, are the only ones offered. The university will, for example, award only one degree fro m an y degree area. one of these opportunities should be confused with any certificat ion programs, such as those in T eacher Education. 1. More than One Major: (a) Dual Major is the pursuit of two separate baccalaureate majors in the same degree area simultaneously. These majors may be in a single dep artment or two departments, and each must be recorded in the appropriate dean 's office. Cou rses fro m on e major area may be used to satisfy requirements in th e other major. Both majors are recorded on the transcript, but all requirements fo r each major must be satisfied before the degree is conferred, and only one degree is conferred. (b) A Second Major may be pursued (a) after the completion of a baccalaureate degree and (b) in the same degree area as a first major. Ir does not lead to a second degree. T he p rospective student m_ust apply th:ough the Office of Admissions, register the mtent1on of pursumg a Second Major, and fulfill any of the requirements of that Second Major that have not yet been satisfied. 2. More than one Baccalaureate Degree (a) _A Dual D egree is the simultaneous pursuit of two degrees in different degree areas. Courses from one major area may be used to satisfy requirements in the other major; however, a minimum of 158 credits must be accumulated in order for both degrees to be awarded. All departmental, college and university requirements for the two degree areas must be satisfied . There will be one transcript with both degree areas recorded. (b) Any student who has previously earned a degree from a regionally accredited institution (including California University of Pennsylvania) may pursue a Second Degree. This degree must be in a different degree area than the first. Transfer credits from other institutions and prior credits fro m California University of Pennsylvania may be used to satisfy requirements for the second degree; however, a minimum of 30 resident credits must be accumulated beyond the number of credits completed at the time the first degree was awarded. Free elective courses must be taken, if necessary, to fulfill this 30 credit requirement. All departmental, college and university requirements for this degree must be satisfied. All courses completed will be recorded on a separate transcript. Students seeking a second degree must apply for admission in the Office of Admissions. (The university will not award an associate degree to a student who holds a baccalaureate degree in the same area.) Graduation Requirements Students should become acquainted with the graduation requirements for their program of study.

If further information is required, a student should contact the appropriate university official. Academic Organization Under the direction of the Provost, three undergraduate colleges and the Graduate School administer the academic affairs of the university. Each of these divisions is administered by a dean who is responsible for the operation of the college or school. In addition, University College, Lifelong Learning and the Evening-Weekend College, and the Southpointe Center provide specialized programs and services to distinct student populations. The College of Education and Human Services The College of Education and Human Services is composed of the departments of Academic D evelopment, Communication Disorders Counselor Education & Services, Educational Studies, Ele~entary Education & Early Childhood Education, Health Science and Sport Studies, Social Work & Gerontology, and Special Education. Teacher education programs are offered through the departments of Educational Studies, Elementary & Early Childhood, and Special Education and through the department of Applied Engineering and Technology in the Eberly College of Science and Technology. The departments of Academic Development Services, Communication Disorders, H ealth Science & Sports Studies, and Social Work & Gerontology form th e human services component of the College. Counselor Education & Services offers programs leading to graduate degrees and to elementary and secondary counselor certification. Teacher Education Program California University has a long and distinguished history of preparing teachers for the schools of the Commonwealth with nearly 30,000 teacher education alumni. The College of Education and Human Services has developed and maintained a reputation of excellence in the preparation of teachers. Because of its accreditation by NCA TE and the Commonwealth of PA, and its requirement of the PRAXIS I and PRAXIS II teacher certification examinations, California's graduates are able to obtain teacher certification in most states in the U.S. As California prepares to celebrate is sesquicentennial; it has been given a snapshot of where it stands in comparison to other colleges and universities in the Commonwealth that prepare teachers. The comparison data is based on the number of students who completed all the requirements of the College of Education's Programs in elementary, secondary, special education from September 1999 to August 2000, or 314 students. The Educational Testing Service (ETS) released information to all teacher preparation institutions regarding the HEA Title II report. While the data uses a state-wide cohort for comparisons, ETS plainly noted, "Within the same state, comparisons made between institutions are equally unsubstantiated because each institution prepares student for different licenses utilizing different testing requirements." There are other factors that impact on percentages including the number of students taking specific tests, so that the size of the tested population is very important. California had 307 students who completed the basic skills portion of the PRAXIS I exam which includes four or five tests, depending area of study. This exam tests general knowledge and communication skills. All 307 students passed this portion, for an institutional pass rate of 100 percent. The statewide rate was 96 percent. It should be noted that the College requires all students who wish to continue in teacher education must pass the PRAXIS I exams before they can complete the program, and prior to student teaching. The PRAXIS II exam tests specialty areas such as professional knowledge. 258 out of 293 students passed, for an institutional pass rate of 88 percent. The statewide pass rate was 92 percent. In the academic content areas such as math, English, biology, elementary, etc. 190 CUP students passed the assessment out of 229 who took the tests, for a pass rate of 83 percent. The statewide rate was 89 percent. In other content area such as education, career/technical education, etc., 39 out of 41 students passed the exam for a 95 percent pass rate. The statewide rate was 98 percent. In the teaching of special populations, special education, ELS, etc., 74 out of 87 students passed the exam for an 85 percent pass rate. The statewide rate was 89 percent. The university was awarded a summary totals and pass rate of 83 percent, based on the number of students who successfully completed one or more tests across all categories used by the state for licensure and the total pass rate. This was based on 314 taking the assessment, and 260 passing. The statewide rate was 86 percent. California University will use the data collected by ETS to focus discussions on teacher preparation concentrating on continuous improvement and outcome assessment. Admission to Teacher Education Admission to the university is not a guarantee that a student majoring in education will be admitted to Teacher Education, complete the program, which includes student teaching, and receive a teacher certification. The College of Education and Human Services has established standards that all education majors must meet in order to complete the Teacher Education Program. Some of these standards are embodied in the Admission to Teacher Education Program, which must be initiated by the candidate during the semester fo llowing the completion of 48 credits. Program Admission Requirements: Student must: 1. Possess a grade point average of 2.6 or better in his or her major and overall . In 2002-2003 the student must have a grade point average of 2.8; and in 2003-2004 the student must have a grade point average of 3.0. 2. H ave completed 48 credit hours or the full time equivalent of college level study. 3. Successfully complete a speech and hearing test. 4.

Professional Field Experiences Educators have observed that those who enter the teaching profession with a wide variety of contacts with young children, adolescents, and adults usually become superior teachers. To provide such contacts, each department has devised a program of professional field experiences. Student Teaching Student teaching is conducted under the supervision of the Director of Student Teaching. Students who are candidates for certification are required to earn twelve semester hours of credit in student teaching. However, student teaching is a competency-based program and may continue beyond one semester. Candidates are certified to teach only if they demonstrate ability to teach effectively. Teaching competency is determined by the Director of Student Teaching, the university supervisor, and the cooperating teacher or teachers. The student teacher is also required to take a practicum while student teaching. Student teachers are not generally permitted to enroll in other courses during the student teaching experience. Student teaching is normally conducted in selected public schools located in the service area of the university. Alternative programs are also available. Interested students should discuss this possibility with the Director of Student Teaching. The institutional philosophy regarding student teaching is to prepare students adequately to assume their responsibilities in the teaching profession with the knowledge and skill essential to their areas of specialization. Student teaching is designed to provide a climate wherein the student may exhibit creativity and the ability to make critical judgments based upon knowledge and reason. Applications for student teaching may be secured at the Office of the Dean of Education & Human Services, Room 200 of the Keystone Education Center. Applications must be submitted in September for Spring semester student teaching and in January for Fall semester student teaching. Candidates for certification, who were admitted to an initial professional educator preparation program at the graduate level prior to January 1, 2001, may complete an advanced preparation program in accordance with the completion standards at the time of your entry into the program. Before students may be assigned to student teaching, they must: 1. Be admitted to Teacher Education 2. Obtain departmental approval as having satisfactorily completed the required preparatory work 3. Maintain a quality point average of 2.50 in the specialization and overall QP A 4. Submit speech and hearing tests and TB test results, updated ACT 34 and ACT 151 clearances, and evidence of $1 ,000,000 liability insurance coverage. Applicants holding a valid Pennsylvania certificate may be admitted to an advanced program to earn an advanced certificate or to add an additional area to their existing certificate but must meet the exit GP A requirements in force at the time of your admission to the advanced program. Transfer students are not assigned to student teaching until they have completed at least 24 credits of work at this university. Graduates of other colleges and universities must meet the requirements of admission to Teacher Education before being assigned to student teaching. Beginning September 1, 2001, an applicant for an advanced preparation program must have an entry GP A of 3.0. Candidates who were admitted to an advanced preparation program prior to September 1, 2001, and who will complete this program after September 1, 2001, may complete the advanced preparation Student Teaching for Experienced Teachers Advanced Preparation Program: 38 Teachers who have had one or more years of teaching experience may be permitted to complete the student teaching requirement by special arrangement after consultation with the Director of Student Teaching. Appeal Procedure for Certification Students Students wishing to appeal a decision regarding teaching certification should contact the D ean of Education and Human Services to discuss their concern. If accord is not reached at this level, the student may appeal to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. The final source of appeal is with the Certification Appeals Committee, Department of Education, H arrisburg, Pennsylvania. This step should be taken only if there is no possibility for a resolution at an earlier stage, and only if the student is convinced that arbitrary and/ or capricious standards were applied. U.S. Citizenship-A Requirement for Teacher Certification in Pennsylvania Permanent certificate will not be granted to any person who is not a citizen of the United States, and no provisional certificate may be granted to any person who is not a citizen or who has not declared in writing to the Department of Education the intention of becoming a citizen. Graduation in General Education Students who have been working toward teacher certification but are unable to complete the requirements of the teacher education program or who change their career plans may, with special permission, graduate in General Education without teacher certification . This Concentration requires that, with the approval of the Dean of the College of Education and Human Services and the Director of Student Teaching, the student m ay complete 12 credits in lieu of student teaching. To initiate the process, the student must make a request, in writing and in person, to the Director of Student Teaching. The College of Liberal Arts The College of Liberal Arts is comprised of the departments of Art, Communication Studies, Earth Science, English, Foreign Languages and Cultures, History, Music, Philosophy, Psychology, Social Sciences, and Theatre. Those departments offer a diverse array of major and minor programs of study. The Liberal Arts philosophy informs all programs of study within the College. A broad general education course of study encourages students to explore a variety of course offerings and to become aware of the ways many different disciplines understand and view the world. The Liberal Arts are concerned with human values and social issues. They depend on the ability to think analytically, to understand other cultures and their history, as well as our own, and to appreciate artistic responses to our world. Liberal Arts disciplines enrich life by giving it greater meaning and by enabling people to adapt to changing employment, personal, and social demands. In essence, a liberal arts education stresses the transferability of knowledge and skills from one circumstance to another, ensuring that the individual can meaningfully adapt to new personal and professional situations. Many programs offer internship opportunities that allow students to gain professional experience and apply classroom knowledge to the world of work. Students should select a major by the end of the third regu lar semester or upon the completion of 45 credit hours. This does not prohibit students from changing their major later in their careers; however, they will have difficulty completing requirements within eight semesters if they change majors after three semesters. Students who do not want a major limited to a single discipline h ave program options in Liberal Studies, Humanities, and Social Sciences. The curriculum in each is flexible and permits interdisciplinary study . The Eberly College of Science and Technology The Eberly College of Science and Technology includes the departments of Applied Engineering and Technology, Biological & Environmental Sciences, Business & Economics, Chemistry & Physics, Mathem atics & Computer Science, and Nursing. The College offers Associate and Bachelor's degree programs designed to prepare students to meet present and future requirements of specific professions. The objective of the degree programs of the Eberly College of Science and Technology is to prepare graduates for responsible positions in business, govern ment, industry, health care, and other complex organizations. As well, several of the College p rograms prepare students to undertake further study in graduate and professional schools. Each curriculum includes both general education and a technical education component. The curricula are divided this way so that students will receive a well-rounded education and so that breadth of knowledge will increase their usefulness as professional employees and as citizens in the community. Each major within the Eberly College Science and Technology includes the necessary technical, scientific, and support courses to provide the basis fo r advanced study in a professional area. Classroom theory is frequently supplemented by laboratory and workshop experiences where the interrelationship between general principles and application is emphasized. Advanced study in each discipline is emphasized during the junior and senior years. Additionally, several programs provide students with opportunities to participate in either an internship in business or indust ry or a clinical year of study in a hospital setting where the students' educational experiences are utilized in the workplace. The School of Graduate Studies and Research The School of Graduate Studies and Research offers programs of study leading to the Master of Arts, Master of Arts in Teaching, Master of Education, Master of Social Work, and the Master of Science degrees, as well as state-accredited supervision certificates. Students completing their gradu ate education at California University have enj oyed success in pursuing doctoral and professional degrees at distinguished graduate schools throughout the U.S. The academic programs and courses offered by the School of Graduate Studies and Research are listed in the graduate catalog. Information or course schedules may be obtained by calling the Graduate School at 724-938-4187, or checking www.cup.edu. University College 39 University College is a means to aid students in achieving educational, career, and personal goals through the utilization of a full range of institutional and community resources. It helps to both stimulate and support students in their quest for an enriched quality of life. University College empowers students to identify and accomplish life goals consistent with their abilities and interests, as well as to acquire skills and attitudes that promote lifelong learning pursuant to intellectual and personal growth. In summary, University College promotes California University of Pennsylvania's mission of total student development. University College provides: 1. A guided transition from high school or the wo rld of work into the University enviro nment by developing personal advisor-advisee relationships (using facu lty and peer/ student mento rs); assessing basic skills and knowledge; assessing career interests and related activities; helping to develop an academic plan based on student skills and interests. 2. An introduction to a liberal education and its importance in life-long learning by developing proficiency in basic academic skills necessary for academic success at the University (reading, writing and mathematical skills); developing proficiency in personal skills which support learning (study skills, time management and interpersonal skills) ; introducing students to the breadth of human knowledge, including historical consciousness, issues of cultural ethnicity and nationality, global interdependence, and values and ethics in personal, professional, and community life. 3. Opportunities to explore vario us areas of interest, major areas of study and career options by introducing students to the concepts, strategies and resources associated with career planning; on-the-job experiences (co-ops, internships and field experiences); the ability to evaluate career options, to set realistic personal and academic goals, and to measure progress toward the attainment of those goals. Advising and Placement Testing Center The Advising and Placement Testing Center serves to coordinate placement-testing, coordinate schedule development for entering students, pre-register students in developmental courses, monitor successful completion of developmental course work, and provide retesting opportunities for students. The Center does not replace faculty advising but helps to coordinate and supplement it. Early Warning N otices (EWN ) The Early Warning Notices are voluntary responses from faculty and staff about students who may be experiencing academic difficulty. The Office of Student Retention contacts students who have been identified in order to offer assistance. Ombudsperson The Office of Student Retention is contacted by students who need information and/or general assistance, or who encounter difficulties with processes, procedures or personalities on campus. Established means of dealing with such concerns are used (i.e., students are informed of the appropriate processes or procedures to follow and are expected to use these). The Office of Student Retention monito rs the concern(s) and becomes involved directly only if established means do not resolve the issue(s). Developmental Courses At California University student success is the priority. Ensuring that students are scheduled in classes of sufficient, but not excessive, challenge is a key to academic success. All new freshmen (students attending a post-secondary institution for the first time) and some transfer students take placement tests before their first registration at California University to determine their levels of ability in mathematics and writing. Students who do not submit SAT scores or have a score of less than 450 on the Verbal SAT (Recentered) also take the placement test in reading. Students who do not achieve predetermined scores on these tests must enroll in appropriate developmental courses . These courses, ENG 100 English Language Skills, DMA 092 Introd uctory Algebra, DMA 094 Intermediate Algebra, and EDE 100 Reading, Studying, and Listening Skills, are described in the course listings in this catalog. Because these developmental courses are preparatory to a university academic experience, the credits awarded in them do not count toward the fulfillment of the number of credits for graduation, nor may they be used in fulfillment of General Education requirements. H owever, the grades achieved in these courses are used in establishing a student's grade point average, class standing, eligibility for financial aid, and eligibility for participation in co-curricular activities. Moreover, experience shows that students who do well in preparatory courses also do well in collegelevel classes. Remember, student success is our priority. First-Year Seminar Office of Lifelong Learning UNI 100 First-Year Seminar is designed to help students make a smooth transition into the University environment. It is a onecredit course required of most first-time students.

Students entering the university under this catalog will be able to satisfy General Education requirements by using courses added to goal menus in subsequent years without being required to change to a new catalog. General education courses may include any courses in a student's career, including major courses. Major courses included on a goal menu may be used to satisfy that goal. Although a course may appear on more than one menu, a given course may be used to satisfy only one general education goal. When external accreditation agencies require specific competencies, departments may advise students to take specific courses included on a goal menu to complete the goal. Students should contact their advisors or department chairs for information on such requi rements. Any required course within a general education goal (e.g., UNI 100, ENG 101, ENG 102) that is failed must be retaken by the student and a passing grade earned for the course. Students should retake such courses as soon as possible. Students must complete appropriate developmental courses or satisfy other prerequisites prior to completing a course listed on a general education goal menu. Students must complete two upper-level "writing intensive" courses in the major. Criteria: Major departments must affirm that the writing intensive courses they propose require writing experiences that are relevant to that major; writing component courses must offer students opportunities for significant revision of their writing, revision typically initiated by instructors' written comments on drafts; students in writing intensive courses must be assigned a minimum of 30 pages of writing, distributed throughout the semester. 49 OTE: The sequence of courses listed at the end of most programs provides a recommended path to graduate in four years. While the individual courses are required, other sequences are possible. 50 Academic Development Services Purpose The Department of Academic Development Services operates three grant-funded programs: Act 101, Student Support Services and Upward Bound.

Chemistry & Physics Purpose The Department, located in the New Science Building, houses both the Chemistry and Physics programs at the university. These programs provide students with a strong foundation in chemistry, physics, and related disciplines and prepare them for employment in the private and public sector as well as for advanced professional or graduate study. The department also participates in the BS in natural sciences program. Programs The department offers the BS in Chemistry and the BA in Physics. In addition, students interested in secondary school teaching may select BSED certification programs in chemistry, physics, or general science. California University participates in cooperative engineering programs with both the Pennsylvania State University and the University of Pittsburgh. The student undertakes a three-year curriculum at California University of Pennsylvania concentrating on studies in liberal arts and pre-engineering courses in natural sciences. Upon successful completion of that curriculum and the recommendation of faculty, the student spends two years at the Pennsylvania State University or the University of Pittsburgh, at which time the student will complete the engineering course requirements as specified by the institution. For students who have yet to choose between engineering or another discipline as a field endeavor, the programs provide initial studies in both the arts and sciences at Californ ia University, during which time students may ascertain whether their abilities and interests lie in the field of engineering or another discipline. In addition, the program permits qualified students to receive both a liberal and technical education at relatively low cost. The BS in Natural Sciences is an extremely flexible program that provides the student with an opportunity to structure a course of study that encompasses the broad areas of science and mathematics. Students enrolling in this program are expected to work carefully and regularly with their academic advisor to develop a program that meets their individual needs. Careers Career opportunities include positions as analytical chemist, quality control specialist, industrial management trainee, technical writer, chemical purchasing agent and sales person with the chemical industry. Some graduates have chosen to continue their education or to pursue careers in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, management, and college and university teaching and research.

This degree is the first step in becoming a certified speech-language pathologist (SLP). SLPs work with patients of all ages and a wide variety of disorders, such as stuttering, "stroke," learning disability, birth defects, serious disease, hearing impairment, and voice disorders. According to the 1995 Money Magazine report on the "Fifty H ottest Jobs," speech-language pathology was ranked number 11 and will be one of the fastest growing jobs over the next five years. The US Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics 19941995 Occupational Handbook states that SLP positions are expected to grow. Today's changing population contributes to the growth of he field. The younger population has a growing incidence of head, neck and brain injuries that cause speech and language disorders, and the aging population is more susceptible to hearing loss, stoke, brain pathology and other communication disorders. The objectives of the program are to: Develop an understanding of the basic acoustical, anatomical and neurological development of normal speech, language and hearing, Develop knowledge of the various disorders affecting speech and language and the underlying pathologies and symptoms of the disorders, Create awareness of the instruments and procedures available to assess speech and language disorders and develop the ability to select and use such instruments correctly, Develop the clinical skills to effectively perform therapeutic procedures to correct or improve speech and language disorders, and Instill the principles and practices of ethical professional behavior. Program The BSED in Communication Disorders (CMD) is a preprofessional degree program. Students, therefore, should be aware that they are preparing for future graduate training before employment as a speech-language pathologist (SLP) is possible. It is impo rtant to maintain a QPA of 3.0 or higher because few graduate schools will accept less. Some students choose not to study beyond the bachelors degree level, and seek employment without earning a masters degree. Assistant-level certification is currently being considered by ASHA, and it is possible that employment with only a bachelors degree may soon be available. Students who do not choose to continue ~heir education at the masters level will find that a bachelors degree m Communication Disorders may be used for entry into related careers. Clinical Experience Students must experience "hands-on" clinical contact early in their program of study, and the Department of Communication 98 Disorders provides such contact by having students in this program: Work in the Department's Pre-School Program, which offers a developmentally appropriate curriculum for three to five year-old children within a classroom setting. Assist in providing diagnostic and therapeutic services in the Speech & H earing Clinic housed within the Department. Clients include stoke patients, stutterers, language delayed children, as well as individuals with voice disorders, traumatic brain injuries, and other speech and language disorders. Assist in the Department's Audiology Clinic where comprehensive hearing evaluations are provided to the pediatric and adult population Bachelor of Science in Education in Communication Disorders - 128 credits General Education (51-54 credits) Please consult the description of the General Education Program in this catalog for a list of General Education Goals and Objectives and the courses included on the menus for the va rious goals.

The faculty in Communication Studies believes that human communication is fundamental to an individual's capacity to function as an effective and ethical participant in an information society. To that end, students should understand communication from both broad theoretical and specifically applied perspectives. Accordingly, the department offers courses and activities designed to help students deal with the demands of varied communication situations. The curriculum provides the student with an opportunity: to understand more fully the human communication process and how it affects the ways people interact when making decisions, developing relationships, and influencing each other, and to develop communication skills which enhance the individual person's capacity to function in communication situations at work, home, social gatherings, and in civic organizations. Programs Students majoring in Communication Studies have four academic program options: The Speech Communication Concentration focuses on developing an understanding of the uniquely human capacity for producing and using symbols. Throughout life, during nearly every conscious minute, humans are either formulating messages or passing judgment on the messages formulated by others. Students in this program develop an understanding of and skill in the human ability to share and examine facts, ideas, opinions, values, and attitudes. The Radio/Television Concentration emphasizes the application of mass communication theory to audio and video production. The electronic communication media have had an immense impact on human communication. Understanding the dynamics of these technologies and their effects is the most important focus on this degree program. Graduates will have an understanding of the dynamics, as well as skills necessary to function in entry level jobs in many organizations concerned with mediated messages. The Public Relations Concentration seeks to create graduates who understand how public opinion emerges and changes. It provides the tools graduates will need for helping clients track changes in public opinion and create messages using an ever increasing variety of media. Students who complete the degree requirements may advise a wide variety of organizations regarding their publics' responses to policies, programs, campaigns, and messages. The fourth Concentration is for persons who want to teach in the area of Communication. The Communication Studies Department in cooperation with the College of Education and Human Services provides course work necessary for secondary school certification in communication with a speech concentration. In addition to the four options identified above, students majoring in any other program on campus may minor in one of three minor concentrations available in Communication Studies-Public Communication, Public Relations, and Television Production. Successful completion of any of the three minor programs requires that the student complete twenty-one (21) credits. 100 The academic programs are enhanced by co-curricular activities. In addition, junior and senior students who have maintained a 3.0 grade point average are encouraged to seek internship opportunities in regional radio-television studios, public relations agencies, advertising firms, municipal governments, school districts, hospitals, labor organizations, and businesses. The on-campus television studio and radio station provide students with "hands-on" production experience in the electronic media. The television studio supports student video production. The radio station, WVCS, broadcasts regionally. It is a student-operated and student-managed station. Honor Society Pi Kappa Delta is the honor society for intercollegiate debaters, individual events competitors, and teachers of communication. The Penn Zeta Chapter was organized in 1963. Undergraduate students can achieve membership in this society if they meet the minimum standards of forensic participation and are extended an invitation to join. Further information can be obtained at the departmental office. Awards Each year the faculty in Communication Studies selects a deserving graduating senior as an Outstanding Graduate. The honoree receives a plaque, a one-year membership in the National Communication Association, the national organization for communication professionals, and a one year subscription to one of its five professional journals. Careers Aside from the obvious careers in broadcast journalism or public relations, graduates can obtain positions in management training programs, as speech writers and as salespeople. Communicating effectively and evaluating the communication efforts of others are inescapable activities associated with any job. By understanding the theory and mastering the skills associated with a Communication Studies degree program, graduates who can demonstrate their capabilities make themselves attractive to a wide variety of employers. An undergraduate major or minor in Communication Studies is an asset for careers in law, religion, education, labor relations, politics, marketing and human resource development. Unless one seeks employment in which highly technical, specialized knowledge is required (e.g. accounting, medical technology, computer programming, and others) the career opportunities with a Communication Studies degree are extensive. Those considering a degree in this department are urged to consult with the chairperson or other faculty in the department to identify additional possibilities.

Earth Science Purpose The Department of Earth Science is committed to the practical advancement of knowledge; to serving the local, national, and wo rld community; and to the education of earth scientists and geographers. To fulfill this commitment, the department offers a broad spectrum of courses, tutoring, research, and services that enable a student, with the help of an advisor, to acquire a body of knowledge and variety of skills that serve as a basis for a professional career. The department is also committed to research and to the enhancement of the human condition through cooperation with individuals, communities, departments, institutions, organizations, and government agencies. The department provides students with opportunities to work with modern technologies, software, data bases, and field methods. In addition to the traditional courses, the department offers field courses designed to give practical experiences. The Department of Earth Science has adopted a holistic philosophy of geography and the earth sciences that lays the foundation for interdisciplinary relationships. Traditional academic disciplines, such as physical geography, cultural geography, regional geography, and economic geography, or divisions such as meteorology, geomorphology, and hydrology, are presented in a manner that ties together information or principles from related disciplines. The goal of the department is to produce a wellrounded, well-trained individual who is ready for a professional career or for graduate school. Programs The Earth Science major has four concentrations: Environmental Earth Science, Operational Meteorology, Water Resources, and Broadcast Meteorology. The Geography major has three concentrations: Planning, Geographic Information Science, and Travel and Tourism. In addition, there are three single concentration majors: Geology, International Studies: Geography, and Parks and Recreation Management. The department, in conjunction with the College of Education and Human Services, provides teacher certification programs for those interested in teaching Earth Science and Environmental Education in secondary schools. Honors The national Earth Science honor society, Sigma Gamma Epsilon, has a chapter (Zeta Alpha) on campus. Students recogni zed for their academic and professional achievements are elected to it. Honor students in Geography are eligible for induction into Gamma Theta Upsilon. Membership is also available to students of high scholastic attainment in the California University Chapter of Rho Phi Lambda Fraternity, the professional honor society for parks and recreation majors. Careers A student who desires a professional career in the earth sciences or in geography in most instances will need to have an advanced degree. This is the case for such professions as geologist, meteorologist, hydrologist, climatologist, environmental geologist, regional plan ner, and cartographer. Undergraduates seeking employment, however, will find opportunities in businesses undertaking environmental assessments. Students with undergraduate majors in Parks and Recreation Management or Travel and Tourism can enter directly the job market, in such positions as directors or staff persons in schools, governmental agencies (municipal and military, for example), industries or resorts with recreational programs or as travel managers, sales staff or meeting planners.

English Purpose English is a comprehensive discipline. Its scope encompasses a study of the evolution of the language itself, the various types of writing, the literature in English (poetry, drama, fiction, and essay regardless of national origin), and the comparative study of literature. As a course of study, English enables people to express themselves clearly and to read their ideas and those of others in an appreciative and critical manner. The ideas expressed are boundless, the content emotive as well as rational. What is written is a personal and social record of the struggle to create meaning. Insight into the past and present creates a common core of ideas to be considered by scholars in many disciplines. Language competency is essential to the exchange of ideas, the successful completion of course work and meaningful employment. To insure that students will develop their language skills and will have the means to meet these expectations, the university requires that all entering students take the English placement examination. Initial course placement is based on the results of that examination. Placement into either ENG 100 English Language Skills or ENG 101 Composition I depends on the results of this holistically scored writing sample. Since college performance incorporates the ability to express ideas clearly, all students are encouraged to take the two composition courses during their first semesters. Programs The English major has several concentrations including the Literature program and three concentrations in Professional Writing: Creative Writing, Journalism, and Technical Writing. For persons who want to teach English or to teach in an allied area, secondary school certification in English and in Communication (Speech Communication and Theater) are offered in cooperation with the College of Education and Human Services. A well developed internship system supports classroom studies in the Professional Writing Program. Depending upon the Professional Writing concentration undertaken, a student may take as many as sixteen credits of internship experience. Policies and procedures regarding internships can be secured from the departmental office or faculty internship supervisor. Honor Society Sigma Tau Delta is the National English Honor Society. The California University chapter, Delta Theta, was chartered in 1959 and is the oldest chapter in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. Membership in Sigma Tau Delta is open not only to English majors, but also to all those who have English as an interest, provided they have at least a 3.0 average in their English courses, rank in the highest 35% of their class in general scholarship, have completed at least three semesters of college, and have completed at least two courses in literature in addition to freshman English. that was written for that class and that carries the recommendation of the student's instructor. All entries are judged by a special committee of the English Department. The two winners receive $150 prizes plus certificates of merit, both awarded at a luncheon in May . The Minor W. Major Award is given annually to a junior who has achieved distinction in the study of English. The award is based on merit alone. A departmental committee reviews the academic records of prospective recipients, usually English majors, and singles out the student who best meets its standards. The award, named for Dr. Minor W. Major, late professor of English, includes a certificate of merit and cash. The English Faculty Award is given annually to the student in English whose development has been most noteworthy over four years. The recipient receives a certificate of merit and an inscribed book, awarded at the senior dinner in May. Careers Besides preparing students for graduate work in English and American literature, English education, linguistics, library studies, law, communication, and a number of other fields, the English program offers career opportunities in such positions as secondary school teacher, newspaper reporting, magazine editing, creative writing, public information, advertising, copywriting, communications, proof reading, and radio and television editing.

In this sense familiarity with speaking and reading a foreign language and being aware of how persons in other countries think about the world is pragmatic. Instruction in an unfamiliar language also helps students see the world from a different perspective. Inasmuch as that occurs, students improve self-awareness, lose a blind ethnocentrism, and gain a greater appreciation of all cultures, including their own. Programs The depanment administers four programs: liberal arts language programs in French and Spanish; a language certification program for students who plan to teach in one of the language areas; and an International Studies program with options in Business and Economics, Foreign Languages, Geography, and Political Science (consult the descriptions for the Depanments of Business & Economics, Earth Sciences, and History and Political Science for additional information on the International Studies programs). Students in these programs will develop listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, as well as an awareness of cultural diversity and its impact on human behavior. Language and culture are closely aligned, and a series of culture courses, taught in English, are available. These indicate how artistic expression, geography, and economic and historical development mutually influence each other. A minor in foreign languages is offered in French and Spanish to provide a global component and international perspective to a liberal ans education and to prepare you for a world where cross cultural co=unication is vital for success. Placement Students entering a foreign language course will be evaluated in order to determine the proper course level placement for them. Students who wish to receive credit for previously acquired language proficiency can take a CLEP examination or a challenge exammau on. Awards The Elsbeth E. Santee Scholarship Fund grants renewal awards annually for students majoring in a foreign language who maintain a 3.0 QPA in their major. Information about the award and application procedures is available in the depanment office. Careers Linguistic ability in languages other than English can promote employment opportunities in organizations working internationally, especially legal, banking and commercial corporations, national and regional governmental agencies, social service and religious organizations, educational institutions, communications, import-export and travel businesses and a variety of translation services. 128 Bachelor of Arts in French-128 credits General Education (51-54 credits) Please consult the description of the General Education Program in this catalog for a list of General Education Goals and Objectives and the courses included on the menus for the various goals.

The department consists of 15 faculty members and is housed in state of the art facilities in the newly renovated and expanded Hamer Hall. The athletic training education program (A TEP) is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) . Students may major in athletic training or combine athletic training with physical therapist assistant or teacher education. Athletic training is the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of injuries to the physically active population. Students that complete the A TEP are eligible for certification as an athletic trainer after passing the National Athletic Trainer's Association Board of Certification (NAT ABOC) examination. California's A TEP graduates work as athletic trainers in a wide variety of settings nationwide including professional sports, colleges and universities, high schools, hospitals, outpatient clinics, and industrial settings. The Hamer Hall athletic training room is a spacious, well-equipped facility that enables students to practice skills learned in the classroom in a contemporary work place environment. The Sport Management Studies Program provides students with a depth of knowledge on a broad range of competencies in management, marketing, and communication. The program requires that students gain experience through practica and internships in their specialty area. The classes are designed to help the student gain practical work experience through participation in class projects. The class projects can range from conducting a twoday sport management educational conference, a two-day run, a three-on-three basketball tournament, a junior high track meet and other practical/ hands on events. Students will also be able to supplement their education experience with a minor. The Physical Therapist Assistant Program at California University will graduate ethical physical therapist assistants who will provide safe, effective, high quality service to the people they treat. The physical therapist assistant is an educated health care provider who assists the physical therapist in the provision of physical therapy. The physical therapist assistant is a graduate of a physical therapist assistant associate degree program accredited by an agency recognized by the Secretary of the United States Department of Education or the Council on Postsecondary Accreditation. Physical therapist assistants (PTA) work in partnership with physical therapists to provide rehabilitation services for individuals who are unable to function due to neuromuscular disease, neuromuscular injury, or want to improve function via prevention. Physical therapists and physical therapist assistants provide services to these individuals to improve their level of functioning, thereby improving their quality of life. The PT A program leads to an Associate of Applied Science degree. The program is housed in modern classrooms and well-equipped laboratories in the newly renovated Hamer Hall. Students gain experience at both campus and off-campus clinical sites. 132 Occupational therapy assistants work in partnership with and are supervised by registered occupational therapists to provide preventative and/ or rehabilitative services to improve the quality of life of persons whose lives have been disrupted by mental, physical, emotional, developmental impairments or environmental, socioeconomic, or cultural barriers. The goal is to help these persons achieve independence and personal satisfaction in the activities of daily living, work and leisure pursuits. The Occupational Therapy Assistant Program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), located at 4720 Montgomery Lane, P.O. Box 31220, Bethesda, MD 20824-1220. AOTA's phone number is 301-652AOTA. New, modern athletic training facilities are located in Hamer Hall and Adamson Stadium. The California University intercollegiate athletic program, which is a strong NCAA Division II program and a member of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC), comprises 13 varsity sports that enable students to gain valuable experience as student athletic trainers. Students will also receive additional hours at many area high schools or local colleges as partial fulfillment of their required clinical experience. Careers in Athletic Training The high incidence of injuries occurring through athletic participation has become a national concern and has created a demand for individuals who have completed athletic training courses, fulfilled clinical requirements, and earned a minimum of a bachelor's degree. Job opportunities for certified athletic trainers have increased substantially, and the employment potential for athletic trainers should continue to increase. The ultimate goal of this program is to prepare graduates for certification by the NAT ABOC and for careers in athletic training. Many high schools hire athletic trainers to help provide better health care for their interscholastic athletic programs. In addition, four-year colleges and universities as well as junior and community colleges provide significant possibilities for employment. Positions with professional teams exist; however, they are fewer in number than those associated with interscholastic athletic programs. Careers in PTA The aging of the baby boomer generation has created many new opportunities in physical therapy. Pennsylvania has the nation's second oldest population with 15% of all Pennsylvanians over the age of 65. According to Pennsylvania's Department of Labor and Industry, the need for physical therapist assistants is expected to increase 44% through the year 2008 (as projected by the US Department of Labor). Physical therapist assistants provide therapy services under the supervision and direction of the PT. They assist with data collection; implement delegated patient interventions; make appropriate clinical judgements; modify interventions within the PT's established plan of care; participate in discharge planning and follow-up care; document the care provided; educate and interact with PT and PT A students, aides, volunteers, patients, families, and care givers; and demonstrate an understanding of the significance and impact of cultural and individual differences. Physical therapist assistants contribute to society and the physical therapy profession through the provision of physical therapy services, teaching, and administration. Depending upon circumstances, some tasks may be performed cooperatively with other health care personnel or through supervision of aides and volunteers. (Prepared by the Coalitions for Consensus conference by the APT A Education Division, 1995.) Careers in Occupational Therapy The U.S. Department of Labor Statistics projects the COTA employment rate to grow much faster that average (40%) for all occupations through 2008. Individuals who complete the program earn competitive salaries in a variety of practice settings including, but not limited to acute-care hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, long-term care facilties, school systems, home health, mental health (including community-based services, adolescent/adult group homes, short-term, long-term, and forsensic psychiatric settings), industrial rehabilitation, and wellness centers. Careers in Sport Management The Sport Management major offers career-minded students the opportunity to gain a broad-based understanding of the major areas of Sport Management. Graduates move on to challenging and exciting careers in academic settings, professional sports, sports and recreation facilities, as well as health, fitness, and sport clubs. The Sport Management major is designed to prepare students to blend general management skills with the specific demands of managing sports organizations. Sport Management majors acquire a strong foundation in management, finance, communication, ethics, and legal aspects of business. Specific courses in Sport Management provide students with an understanding of the role of sports in society, the role of management in sports, and the opportunity to apply their knowledge in sports-related organizations. Students supplement classroom teaching with a variety of practical experiences through field trips and by working in Sport Management settings through completion of internship placement. Students in Sport Management gain both the knowledge and practical experiences necessary for their future success in a variety of sport management careers. Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training Admission to the Athletic Training Program Admission into the Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP) is competitive and only a limited number of students are selected each year. Applications for the A TEP are accepted during the second semester of the freshmen year and are screened by the A TEP faculty.

History and Political Science History Purpose The recording and explanation of the events that constitute social, organizational, or personal existence comprise the discipline of history. History, with its special concern for what is unique in human events, is an integrative discipline. Its narratives and explanations are contextual. As such, historians take cognizance of the works of artists, philosophers, and social scientists. For example, social historians utilize the methods of the social scientist. This integrative aspect of historical narrative and explanation continues to make it a primary part of a Liberal Arts education. In as much as it reveals every person's past, it makes possible greater personal freedom and creativity. Programs The department offers a Bachelor of Arts degree and a minor in history and a Bachelor of Arts degree and a minor in political science. The history major is general in nature, providing students with the opportunity to select areas of topical interest. In relation to the major, the department, in conjunction with the College of Education and Human Services, provides requisite courses for social science certification for teaching in secondary schools. Students interested in teacher certification can secure further information from the College of Education and Human Services office at 938-4125. The minor in history allows students in other majors to expand their educational opportunity. The Edward McNall Burns Scholarship Award is given annually to a qualified atudent majoring in anthropology, sociology, political science, economics, or history. See the department office for further information. The George S. Hart Award for Academic Excellence is given annually to the graduating senior with the highest GP A in the social sciences area. Careers Teacher, archivist and museum curator are professions directly related to the history major. Careers in law, religion, foreign service, both corporate and government, and diplomacy have a great reliance on historical knowledge. In addition, history majors are employed in the marketing field, in the communications industry and the insurance industry. The history major prepares students to succeed in a wide range of occupations. History continues to be ranked among the top undergraduate majors of Fortune 400 CEOs. Students with an undergraduate degree in political science are prepared with advanced study to enter careers in law and public administration.

Cigneni (Chemistry), Leonard Colleli, Dean of Eberly College of Science and Technology, Professor Gregg Gould (Physical Science), Richard Helldobler, Dean of Liberal Arts (Acting), Geraldine Jones, Dean of Education and Human Services (Acting), Associate Professor J. Drew McGukin (Communications), Professor Beverly J. Melenyzer (Elementary Education), Mollie Manley (Honors Program Student), Associate Professor Marsha L. Nolf (Library Services), Professor Michael J. Slavin (Theatre), Assistant Professor Gary A. Smith (Philosophy), Professor Carole A.Waterhouse (English) , Professor James Wood (Social Science) Purpose The Honors Program at California University of Pennsylvania provides an opportunity for an enhanced educational experience to our most talented students and faculty. Honors Program students desire to pursue intellectual and creative growth beyond the usual requirements of their maj or field of study and intend to cultivate their individual and personal aspirations to learn. Honors Program students and faculty expect to explore and participate in scholarly, professional, and artistic exercises outside the classroom; they engage in community service activities, which complement their academic studies and nurture their personal sense of commitment and communal responsibility. Honors students anticipate exercising leadership while at California University; they prepare to become leaders while students in our program, and they expect to continue as leaders when they graduate. Membership Membership in the University Honors Program is by invitation only. However, the Honors Program promotes outstanding intellectual achievement throughout the university, and undergraduate students in any program or division of the university may participate in the Honors Program. Each year, the applications of all incoming first year and transfer students are reviewed, and those students with the very highest indicators of past and future academic success are invited to participate in the Honors Program. Programs Each summer (since 1985) two Honors Program students receive scholarships to participate in the SSHE Summer Honors Program. This program is noted for its academic quality and its opportunity, typically, to study abroad in such places as Russia (1995), Austria (1996), England (1997), Italy (1998), and Renaissance and Reformation Europe (1999), Edinburgh, Scotland (2000) and South Africa (2001). In summer 2002, the students studied conflict in Spanish art and culture, primarily in Madrid, Spain. Honors Program students have the opportunity to participate in the Honors Program Residence Hall, which includes specialty housing in Johnson H all as well as educational, social, and recreational programming. The Honors Program maintains a small, but high quality, computer facility in Johnson Hall reserved for the exclusive use of its students and faculty. Each spring semester, the Honors Program conducts and coordinates a special grouping of courses and faculty for its students which focuses on a particular area, rotating in a three year cycle from Social Science (2002) , through Science (2003), to Arts and Humanities (2004). Honors Program students are encouraged to be active scholars and have presented their work at local, regional, national, and international conferences and in international publications. 142 Awards Currently, the Honors Program annually presents the following awards: Senior Thesis Project Award and the Outstanding Honors Program Graduating Senior A ward. Curriculum Courses, designated as Honors Courses, are restricted to members of the Honors Program and are offered at all class levels. In such courses enrollment is kept low, to encourage and ensure close interaction between student and professor. Additionally, most regular university course offerings at all levels may have an honors component. In such courses (called addenda), honors students fulfill the same requirements as other students in the class but honors students perform certain independent wo rk which is designed to enhance the regular departmental courses and which is agreed upon in writing by the student, the professor, and the Director of the H onors Program. In all such courses, the successful completion of the course and its honors component is indicated on the student's transcript. Honors Program students are expected to maintain a minimum grade-point average sufficient to achieve the Dean's List and to graduate with Honors. Additionally, students must complete a minimum of 24 credits, including addenda and thesis project, within the H onors Program. Inquiries about the Honors Program may be made of the Director, California University of Pennsylvania, California, PA 15419-1394, 724-938-4535. Humanities Bachelor of Arts in Humanities-128 credits Purpose Please consult the description of the General Education Program in this catalog for a list of General Education Goals and Objectives and the courses included on the menus for the various goals. General Education (51-54 credits) Humanities are most often considered a curricular area or category in which a number of majors coexist interdependently. For example, Foreign Languages, Art and English are program areas under the Humanities heading. However, California U niversity has a separate Humanities program, which works particularly well for those students who find that their goals lie somewhere between two or three different Humanities areas. The Humanities program is designed to allow greater freedom in shaping an integrated university program responsive to the students' unique interests and permit the greatest breadth for studying the interrelationships between disciplines. Th is program stresses breadth of knowledge and interdisciplinary awareness. Students have the opportunity, as well as the responsibility, to develop unique, integrated and personalized programs com bining courses from H umanities areas. Additional information on the Humanities program can be obtained from the College of Liberal Arts or from the Office of Lifelong Learning for its Evening & Weekend College program. Major (42 credits) Introductory Courses (21 credits maximum) Students should complete courses from at least three of the fo llowing disciplines: Art (ART), Communication Studies (COM), English (ENG) , French (FRE) , German (GER) Literature (LIT), Music (MUS), Philosophy (PHI), Spanish (SPN), and Theatre (THE). Introductory courses are usually designated as 100 or 200 level. Advanced Courses (21 credits minimum) Students should complete courses from at least three of the following disciplines: Art (ART), Communication Studies (COM), English (ENG), French (FRE), German (GER) Literature (LIT), Music (MUS) , Philosophy (PHI), Spanish (SPN), and Theatre (THE). Advanced courses are usually designated as 300 or 400 level. Students should consult with their fac ulty advisor in the selection of courses. Electives and/ or Minor (34 credits) 143 Justice Studies Purpose and 130 credit hours depending upon major course of study. Transfer students with an associate's degree, depending upon institutional agreement, generally are required to complete 30-36 hours of coursework in the Criminal Justice major. The criminal justice program at California University of Pennsylvania serves two primary purposes: 1) To allow for serious and esoteric study of the functions and processes of the American justice system; and 2) To prepare students for professional careers in the justice system, whether in policing, law, corrections, investigations or human service positions. The program's curricular and programmatic philosophy is primarily professional, though students are exposed to a wide array of intellectual disciplines across the University. The program's wide-ranging course offerings reflect its interdisciplinary approach and its dedication to preparing its graduates for a multitude of opportunities in the criminal and civil justice systems. The program has designed course requirements for completion in the third and fourt h years of study. Advisors play a crucial role in the plan and completion of these degree requirements. The program's course offerings reflect diverse classroom experiences from traditional lecture to applied field exercises. Criminal justice studies is an eclectic undertaking with continuous encouragement to branch out in other intellectual traditions, such as the study of language, science, accounting, political science or sociological and psychological theory. The program also affords independent study opportunities for serious individualized scholarship, specialized topics and courses of instruction on timely issues in the justice system, and the ability to travel abroad for foreign study in law and justice. Internship opportunities are readily available to criminal justice majors. Criminal Justice at California is dedicated to recognizing its best and brightest majors. The program participates in the National Criminal Justice Honor Society (Alpha Phi Sigma) and will soon have a recognized chapter. Anthropology is the most comprehensive offering, since there is no aspect of human development or behavior that it does not study, although it traditionally has focused on pre-industrial societies. Anthropology includes such diverse subject areas as ethnology, medical and psychological anthropology, archaeology, and human evolution. Field experiences are available in archaeology. An archaeology field school runs during the summer session, where students participate in the excavation of a site. Programs Criminal Justice is both a professional and a liberal arts program. Specifically, the criminal justice major consists of FIVE components: the CORE, in which students learn about the fundamental systems inherent in the justice model; and specialized studies in four tracks - Police and Law Enforcement, Law and Legal Process, Crime and Criminology, and Criminal Justice Electives. Within each of these components are course offerings from other academic disciplines at the University, particularly sociology, accounting, political science and philosophy. The program's intent is to permit some interdisciplinary analysis of the justice system from other perspectives and encourages its majors to look beyond the career orientation to the broader vision that resides in the liberal arts. The Program's suggested plan of study, over the typical four year cycle further buttresses this ideology by recommending General Education courses that are compatible with the major's programmatic design, but diverse enough that students in the justice studies program appreciate the system from diverse viewpoints. Hence in General Education, the major strongly endorses the study of languages, psychology, sociology, sciences, philosophy and political science. Students must earn a minimum of 63 credits of course work in the major to complete the degree in Criminal Justice, or 76 credits for the degree in Anthropology, plus the General Education requirements promulgated by California University of Pennsylvania. To earn the degree, students must successfully complete between 128 144 Internships An internship is a form of field experience. Anthropology students do internships at the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh and various historical sites, such as Bushy Run and the Fort Necessity Historical Park. Internship opportunities are readily available to Criminal Justice majors in all fields of justice and law enforcement. Honor Societies In addition, the program invites its highest caliber students for possible membership in the Order of Cicero that is bestowed on those senior level students with the requisite GP A, after successful completion of an intense course of study. Anthropology majors are eligible for membership in the Gamma Chapter of Lambda Alpha, the national honor society. Requirements are the completion of twelve credits of Anthropology course work and a 3.0 grade point average or higher in the major, as well as an overall 2.7 grade point average. Special Program Offerings Criminal justice faculty and students are vibrant members of the university community and involve themselves in numerous activities beyond the normal academic experience. The program sponsors a newsletter, The Justice Chronicle, which announces items of professional and academic interest to the college community. It is also disseminated to justice professionals in the region. The program is an active participant in regional and national conferences where student research is highlighted and will be host to regional conferences. Housed in the program's office are career services, such as a Jobs Center, where positions from state, local and federal agencies are announced. A permanent on-line computer station, which allows access to catalogued job opportunities and a Civil Service data center, is open to the majors. Aside from careers, the program collects information on graduate and law school offerings throughout the nation. Students are welcome during all regular business hours. The program vitally supports the student organizations dedicated to criminal justice, assigning a faculty advisor and coordinating activities with professional staff. Membership information on these groups and associations is available in the director's office. Finally, the program will sponsor social, academic and professional events throughout the academic year. Students play a critical part in the implementation of these programs. Awards Anthropology Electives (15 credits) The Joseph Lynn Marino Memorial Award is presented annually. For consideration an applicant must have a minimum grade point average of 3.5, be enrolled in the College of Liberal Arts and have successfully completed two courses in Anthropology. 3 crs. 3 crs. Electives and/ or Minor (34 credits) Careers The criminal justice major prepares students fo r careers in professional justice agencies. Careers in criminal justice are multi-faceted and include state and local police, correctional organizations for adults and juveniles and alternative dispositions, such as probation and parole, diversion, and the related institutions, as well as public and non-profit residential care. Major opportunities and career options also exist in federal law enforcement, government security organizations, private security and legal and judicial organizations. Criminal justice graduates are qualified for numerous justice positions in agencies like the Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia State Police, Pittsburgh and other municipal police departments, State Corrections Department, Children and Youth Services, County Prosecutor and Public Defender's Offices, Victim Assistance Units, court systems, and a variety of criminal justice agencies throughout the nation. Many serve in federal agencies such as the Central Intelligence Agency, the State Department, Secret Service, Drug Enforcement Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Customs, Immigration and Naturalization, Department of Defense, and Federal Probation and Parole. Others are employed in the pr1vate security field with Fortune 500 companies as formidable as Alcoa, the Eastman Kodak Company, USAir and Pinkerton. Graduates will find security positions in area universities, hospitals and other non-profit facilities. Many graduates work for human service agencies that deal with juveniles, substance abuse, family trauma and other crisis intervention. Other graduates continue post-baccalaureate education in law, criminal justice, counseling and public administration, making significant intellectual contributions to a dynamic and changing system. Graduates can pursue numerous careers, including archaeological excavation crew member, cultural resource management specialist, environmental impact reviewer, government foreign service, graduate study, museum curator and researcher. These careers are available in t he private sector and with state and federal agencies. Some graduates move on to postbaccalaureate education in anthropology to obtain graduate degrees for teaching and fo r research. Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology-128 crs.

The curriculum was carefully designed to meet workforce needs as well as rigorous standards established by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (TAC of ABET) . Once the program is accredited, baccalaureate degree graduates of the program may sit for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Examination. Successful completion of this examination and a four-year engineering-in-training residency will qualify graduates to sit for the Professional Engineering (PE) examination in their specific engineering technology field of expertise. Individuals who successfully complete the PE examination may refer to themselves as "Professional Engineers." Graduates of the baccalaureate degree program will provide technologist-related knowledge and technical expertise throughout the region, state, and nation. The graduates are qualified for positions that range from technician up through computer engineering technologist. Employment opportunities are diverse and plentiful and exist in the areas of software and systems design, development, testing, evaluation, and maintenance; computer interfacing; microprocessor/ microcontroller circuit design; computer networking; and product sales and marketing. Graduates can be employed by a wide variety of industries including aerospace, semiconductor, control, utilities, manufacturing, software design/verification, computer, and governmental agencies. The Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics is a sufficiently flexible program that permits the student to select courses that meet particular interests and needs. It allows for both depth and breadth of study in mathematics as well as study in the natural sciences. It is designed to provide the student with an excellent background for graduate studies in mathematics and for employment opportunities in business, industry, or government. The Bachelor of Science in Education degree is a program designed for the student who wishes to pursue a career in secondary teaching of mathematics. It provides the prospective teacher the opportunity to acquire the knowledge, attitudes, skills, and understanding necessary to become an effective educator. The Associate degree in Computer Science is a two-year program designed to provide the student with career-oriented computer science technology background. Though its emphasis is on training for job placement in the computer industry after a two-year curriculum, the program is designed to allow for transfer into a four- year computer science program.

Music Purpose Did you ever meet anyone who did not like some type of music? Well, neither did we. Music is an important form of expression and enjoyment. To fully appreciate music, you have to understand it. At California University we provide the opportunity to experience this art form completely as a listener, performer and student. Program Though the university has no major in music, we do offer a minor. The attainment of the Music Minor may be especially valuable to those who seek to enhance their chosen field. The curriculum serves the Humanities and Fine Arts goals of the General Education program. The Music Department offers courses in basic musicianship, theory, music history, education, applied electives and ensemble performance. These offerings provide students with the opportunity and flexibility to structure a course of study that fits individual needs. Minor in Music - 24 credits Nine of the 24 credits for the Minor must be at 300 and/ or 400 level.

The program is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accreditation Commission (www.NLNAC.org or 212-363-5555) and holds preliminary approval from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. The RN/BSN program is designed to provide the graduate with an educational foundation in the arts and sciences as well as nursing, to serve as a basis for graduate education and as a commitment fo r lifelong learning. Additionally, the program assists the RN with the synthesis of theories and research findings into the role of the professional nurse, and builds upon the RN's competencies in nursing by providing increasingly complex experiences in a variety of settings. Requirements Eligibility to register for upper-division nursing courses requires that students be graduates of an NLNAC accredited associate degree or diploma program, have current licensure as an RN in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and complete the Entry Level Portfolio. Specific informat ion concerning these requirements is available in the Nursing Department. All of the graduation requirements of the university apply to the N ursing program. In addition, a minimum grade of "C" is required in each upperdivision nursing course. Electives (5-6 credits) School Nurse Certification The School Nurse Certification program is offered jointly through the College of Education and Human Services and the Department of Nursing. The registered nurse who completes the School Nurse Certification program will have the ability to apply the knowledge and skills obtained in the BSN program in meeting the health care needs of children in elementary and secondary school settings. Students who successfully complete the program are eligible to apply for the School Nurse Certificate (Education Specialist I) issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. RN/BSN students may complete the 13 required credits for certification as electives within the BSN major. Registered nurses who have previously earned a BSN must complete a minimum of the 13 required credits. In order to participate in the school nurse practicum experience, the student must provide evidence of: current licensure as a registered nurse in Pennsylvania, current CPR certification, first aid certification (advanced certification preferred), physical exam including tuberculin testing or chest X-ray, attendance at OSHA inservice on universal precautions, professio nal liability insurance, and Child Abuse and Criminal Clearance forms.

Socrates, though, was esteemed to be a good philosopher because he was aware of how little he knew. In knowing this, however, he was wiser than some "authorities" and "experts" whose unreflective confidence in their beliefs was mistaken. In this tradition, philosophy became the academic difc ipline which critically studies the justification of beliefs and attempts to put together different kinds of beliefs to form a workable view of reality as a whole. In brief, philosophy is the critical study of theories about truth, knowledge, reality, and values. Aristotle thought the study of philosophy was intrinsically rewarding, an end in itself, because it fulfilled a distinctively human potential, namely the ability to reason and to know. But if minimizing mistaken or dogmatic beliefs has practical value, then philosophy also serves pragmatic purposes.

Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy Philosophy students study the historical development of theories about the nature of knowledge, reality, and values, and they learn how to assess such theories. Students develop abilities to think logically, to explore issues from different perspectives, and to present their ideas effectively in writing. The following eight-semester schedule of courses provides a recommended framework for completing this program of study in fou r years. To ensure that they are making satisfactory academic progress, students should consult with their faculty advisor, ensure that they complete necessary prerequisites and required courses in sequence, and complete between 15 and 18 credits each semester. Programs Freshman Year First Semester The philosophy major is a program of study covering the history of philosophy, logic, and issues in philosophy which might be grouped as ethical, epistemological, or metaphysical. In addition to the traditional philosophy major, the department also offers a Minor in Philosophy for students in other academic majors. Activities The Philosophy Department advises the Philosophy Club, which gives students informal social opportunities for discussions, debates, and lectures. The Department also hosts topical lectures and forums . PHI 201 History of Ancient Philosophy UNI 100 First Year Seminar ENG 101 English Composition I General Education courses Second Semester Philosophy majors go on to a variety of careers: law, ministry, teaching, civil service, management, to name a few. Indeed, the philosophy major is well suited for any career that values critical reasoning, logical problem solving, and an ability to look at issues from many perspectives. Increasingly the business world is looking for this kind of liberally educated person.

Students in either Early Childhood or Elementary Education may dual major in Special Education. Graduates of these dual-major programs receive certification in both Early Childhood or Elementary Education and Special Education. Special Education programs, leading to the Pennsylvania Instructional Level I certification, entitle the graduate to teach children with the following handicaps: mental retardation, learning disability, physical handicaps, emotional disturbance, and brain damage. The general objectives of the program are to demonstrate: 1. An understanding of the nature of handicapping conditions and the impact of these conditions on normal growth and development 2. An ability to effectively use alternative instructional strategies appropriate to the needs of exceptional children 3. The ability to identify the educationally relevant characteristics of various exceptional children and to effectively diagnose and prescribe appropriate educational experiences 4. The ability to function as a competent classroom manager in promoting learning among handicapped students 5. Competency to initiate instructional programs that facilitate appropriate career and vocational goals for the mentally and/ or physically handicapped. Special Education and Early Childhood or Elementary Education dual majors must demonstrate the competencies associated with each of the individual certificate programs. In addition, they must demonstrate the ability to: 1. Identify students who are in need of some special service 2. Work effectively with other teachers in cooperatively planning programs for children with special needs 3. Facilitate the social acceptance of children with handicaps by structuring classroom environments that reinforce positive interpersonal relationships 4. Complete educational assessment of the learning needs of students 5. Develop individual educational prescriptions based on assessment data 6. Effectively modify instructional strategies or materials to provide for the unique needs of students manifesting learning handicaps Careers The field of special education, both within Pennsylvania and nationally, continues to grow, providing excellent professional career opportunities. Recent federal legislation has mandated new services for handicapped youngsters and provided increased funding. The impetus should be toward an increased growth rate in special education programs, particularly for children with severe and/or profound handicaps. Graduates of the Special Education program are qualified to assume several professional roles including: special education classroom teacher, resource room teacher, homebound instruction teacher, hospital teacher, and a variety of roles in sheltered workshops and community-living arrangements for handicapped adults. The growth of mainstream/ inclusion programs for mildly handicapped youngsters has been rapid. It has been recognized that 170 children with mild forms of handicaps typically attain higher levels of achievement in the regular class environment than in the special self-contained classroom. These children do, however, need special help and remedial instruction in some areas of the curriculum. Thus, the resource room is becoming an increasingly common means of addressing the needs of children while continuing to maintain their enrollment in regular classrooms. This process of integrating/ including the handicapped child should be initiated early, preferably at the preschool level, or no later than the early elementary years. Teachers trained in Early Childhood or Special Education will be able to provide excellent resource services to both children and the other staff members of an elementary school. Graduates of this program are qualified to assume several professional roles, including regular early childhood classroom teacher (nursery-third grade), special education classroom teacher; mentally retarded, emotionally disturbed, physically handicapped, learning disabled, brain-damaged (nursery-twelfth grade), and resource room teacher.

Whether we study pure dramatic expression or musical dramatic expression, we seek to understand how speech, movement and other non-verbal aspects of production such as lighting, scenery, and costumes, communicate ideas and emotion and how they are used for entertainment, education, reform and other social purposes. The study of the dramatic arts serves both Theatre majors and those students in other disciplines concerned with human interaction and symbolic expression (e.g. , art, education, communication, political science, sociology, English and psychology). Students who are aware of the history and technology associated with theatre enhance their appreciation of this art form. Programs Theatre is an undergraduate degree program in the College of Liberal Arts and is included in the undergraduate degree Secondary Education Communication Certification program in the College of Education and Human Services. Theatre serves a dual function. It provides occupational education and training for talented students pursuing careers in theatre, and it provides both educational and performance opportunities for all students on campus. Six dance courses, ranging from basic ballet to theatre dance, give the major a competitive advantage in professional preparation. In cooperation with the Student Association, Incorporated, the Theatre and Dance Department sponsors five play-producing groups with membership open to all students: University Players, which produces Main Stage Productions; Children's Theatre, which annually performs before young audiences of more than 3,000; Stories 'n' Things, which carries theatre directly to schools; Mon Valley Dance Council, producing dance productions; and Theatre Now, which presents experimental drama in innovative staging. These organizations either individually or in combination, annually present six on-campus play, dance, and musical productions. In addition, the department sponsors a pre-professional summer stock company which offers the opportunity for the student to work in a repertory environment. Each student organization shares the facilities and faculty of the department. Steele Auditorium has a fully equipped 955-seat proscenium stage, and scenery, lighting, costume, property shops, storage space and classrooms. A state-of-the-art 16 channel sound mixer with multiple microphone and line inputs on-stage and in the theatre has recently been installed. A complete renovation and revision of the stage and building's lighting system is in progress. The Theatre Department rewards creative excellence by offering opportunities for upper level students to produce shows, and to direct or design both major and minor (one-act plays) productions. Theatre majors are required to take practicum credits, which give students practical experience in various areas of theatrical production: technical production, dance, acting, design, management, directing, technical direction, touring theatre, and summer theatre. Students are encouraged to use the practicum experience to broaden and enlarge their experience in the field of theatre. Honor Society Since 1938, outstanding students have annually been elected to the University Players' Hall of Fame. Membership in Alpha Psi Omega, the national honorary Theatre fraternity, is achieved through active participation in theatre productions. Careers Graduates of Califo rnia University work throughout the country in professional and semi-professional theatre, in film and television, in teaching, community and regional theatre, recreation, and in rehabilitation theatre, public relations, interior decoration, costuming, and arts management.

Women's Studies Purpose Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the diverse experiences, contributions and perspectives of women and considers how ideas about gender have shaped human lives. Women's Studies views the wo rld from the perspectives of women who differ widely in race, class, age, and many other ways. Because these perspectives have often been left out of traditional studies, interdisciplinary study of women and gender can provide a new and vital framework for approaching knowledge in other disciplines, posing questions that may not have been asked before. Women and men in Women's Studies classes encounter intriguing questions and challenging information that may touch on personal identity, relations between men and women, contributions of women to their world, and the history and futu re of gender. Since traditional education has paid scant attention to gender or to the half of humanity that is female, Women's Studies helps to fill a major gap and provides the opportunity for individuals to become more well rounded and more aware. The minor or certificate in Women's Studies is not a degree but is an undergraduate specialization. It makes an excellent complement for many majors, since virtually every field of study is affected in some way by gender. Careers More and more women are joining the work force outside the home, as well as continuing in important roles in homemaking and child rearing. With these rapid changes, it is becoming increasingly important to understand the social forces that influence how much power people have. The Women's Studies Certificate Program helps prepare both women and men to deal more effectively with gender relations in their professional and personal life. Whether the student's major field is in education, social services, business, communications, medicine, or science, any field of study will be enhanced by the approach to knowledge offered in this program.

Instructional programming provides learning opportunities, knowledge and skill through lessons, clinics and workshops. These programs are designed to enhance participant performance and enJoyment. Intramural sports programming provides structured contests, meets, tournaments and leagues limiting participation to individual members of the university community. Outdoor recreation programming provides participants with opportunities to interact and gain experience in a variety of natural settings. Sport club interaction provides for individuals to organize based on a common interest in a specific sport activity. The basic nature of sport clubs allows members to direct their interest both within and outside the university setting. Social Fraternities and Sororities A sorority or a fraternity is an organization whose members have chosen to establish a close affirmation and friendship with each other. Membership helps to provide leadership opportunities and career preparation. There are 14 sororities and fraternities to choose from at California University. Every chapter encourages and expects above average scholarship and participation in various activities that offer valuable experience. Community service is also encouraged. The decision to join a sorority or fraternity is up to the individual and should not be taken lightly. The Panhellenic and Interfraternity councils and the Black Greek Alliance suggest that individuals who may be undecided about Greek membership consider participating in Rush before making this decision. Rush is a series of open houses, informal gatherings, parties, and other social events which potential members attend to help them choose membership in a particular fraternity or sorority. Initiates are expected to pay dues and fees. Dues and fees vary from organization to organization; they generally include new member and initiation fees, and local, national, and lifetime dues. Fees and dues pay for a subscription to the national magazine, operating budgets, recruitment and special events, and social/service projects. California University of PA adheres to state, local and federal guidelines in all hazing matters. The University's position on hazing is consistent with state prohibition on hazing activities. This prohibits all forms of hazing by all members of fraternities and sororities. Any infraction of local, state, or federal guidelines reported to a Greek advisor or to the Office of Student Development and Services will be dealt with accordingly. Cal Uhas recognized the dignity of every individual and has expressed strong opposition to all forms of hazing. For more information, contact the Greek Development Office at 724-938-4303.

Study Around the World Program The Study Around the World program (SAW) administers both domestic and international student exchange opportunities. Each participant selects an exchange that will enrich their academic, cultural, social, and recreational background in consultation with the SAW program coordinator and their academic advisor. Students return from their exchanges with new perspectives on their education and lives and with coursework credit toward their California University degree program. A successful candidate for exchange has a willingness to undertake exposure to unfamiliar environments. Through exchange exposure, the participant becomes more independent as a learner, reflecting the self-reliance and self-confidence gained as a result of having taken a decisive role in planning his/her future and carrying through with those plans. The SAW program is essentially divided into two categories of opportunities for students: domestic exchanges through the National Student Exchange consortium, and international through a multitude of program offerings. For further information, contact the SAW coordinator at 724-938-4553 or visit the SAW website at http:/ /www.nse.org/. National Student Exchange The NSE is most popular with California University students as it combines the ease of academic applicability to programs at California University with financial affordability. A student may study at the NSE member institution of their choice fo r up to a full academic year, undertaking courses approved for application to their degree program at California through approval of their academic advisor. In most cases, the student has the choice to pay either California University tuition or instate tuition at the host institution. Basic familiarity with surroundings can also be viewed as advantageous by the student as all NSE member institutions are located in either the United States or U.S. territories. The number of NSE consortium member institutions grows each year.
