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 at 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. 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 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 our Sesquicentennial events that are planned throughout the next year. Sincerely, Angelo Armenti, Jr. President 3 Table of Contents Mission ............................................................................ 6 Goals ............... ............................ ... ........ .......... ... .. .. ... ... ........ 6 Objectives ................... ... .... ... ..... ... ... ... .......................... .. .. .... 6 History ............................................................................ 7 Admissions ...................................................................... 8 Tuition and Fees ........................................................... 11 Financial Aid ................................................................. 13 Scholarship Directory ..................... ...... ............... .. ............. 18 Academic Policies .......................................................... 29 Academic Organization ................................................. 38 General Education ...................... .. ...................................... 43 Academic Departments & Programs ............................. 49 Academic Development Services ........................................ 50 Applied Engineering and Technology., .. ..... .. ..... ..... ...... ..... 51 Art and Design .............. .... ...... ............ .. .. ... ... .......... .......... .. 68 Biological And Environmental Sciences .... .. ....................... 71 Business and Economics .... ... .. .... ... ... ...... ..... ... ..... .. ...... ... .. .. 81 Chemistry and Physics ............. ................................. .. .. .... . 87 Communication Disorders .. ............... ...... ... ..... ... .... ........... 92 Communication Studies .... ... .......... ....... ................... .......... 94 Earth Science ........ ......... .......... ................. .......................... 99 Educational Studies ..... ...... ........ .. ... ......... ... ... ......... .... ... .... 110 Elementary/Early Childhood Education .. ....................... 111 English ... ... ... ............ .... .......... .. .... ... .. .. ... ......... ... .... ......... .. 117 Foreign Languages and Cultures .......... ..... ........ ........ ..... .. . 122 Health Science and Sport Studies .... .. .. .............. ... .. .. ........ . 126 History and Political Science ... .. .. .. ................... ..... ........... 130 Honor's Program ..... ...................... .............. .. ... ..... .... ....... 135 Humanities ................ ..... ......... ............................ ....... .... .. 136 Justice Studies ... .... .. .. .. ... .. ..... ... ..... ...... ..... ................... ... ... 137 Liberal Studies ....... ... .. ....... ..... .... .... ... ... ..... .... ... .. .............. 141 Mathematics and Computer Science ................... .. ... .. ...... . 142 Music ...... .. .. ....... .. ... .......................................................... 150 Nursing ................... .... ............. ... .......... ........ .......... ...... .... 151 Philosophy .. .. ... .. ...... ........ .. .. ... .... .... .......... ..... .. ..... ..... .... ... 154 Psychology .................. .. .. ... ... .. .. .. .. .. .... ... .. ...... ....... .. .......... 156 Social Sciences/Sociology ...................................... .. ......... 159 Social Work and Gerontology .... .......... ...... ... .... ............. .. 162 Special Education ............. ..... ... ... ......................... ............. 165 Theatre and Dance .. ... ...... .... .............................. ........ ..... .. 169 Women's Studies Program ... ..................................... .. ... .. . 172 COURSE DESCRIPTIONS Accounting (ACC) ... .. ... .. .... ..... ....... ................... .. ..... .......

About California University 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. The university is in the Borough of California, a community of approximately 6,000 residents, located on the banks of the Monongahela River, less than an hour's drive south of Pittsburgh. It is accessible via Interstate 70, Exits 15 (PA 43) , 16 (Speers), or 17 (PA 88 , Charleroi) or via U.S. 40 (PA 43 or 88). The Mid-Mon Valley/ Fayette Expressway (PA 43) links California to the federal Interstate Highway system. The university is approximately 30 minutes from Exit 8 (New Stanton) on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and an hour from Greater Pittsburgh International Airport. The main campus consists of 37 buildings situated on 90 acres. An additional 98-acre recreation complex, George H. Roadman University Park, is located one mile from campus. This complex includes a football stadium, an all-weather track, tennis courts, a baseball diamond, a softball diamond, soccer and rugby fields, a cross country course, areas for intramural sports, and picnic facilities. It is also the site of a new student housing complex that is home to 432 students who live in attractive, furnished, four person-suites that feature four bedrooms, each with individual baths, a living room, dining area, completely furnished kitchen, including diswasher and microwave, and a full-si ze washer and dryer. The geographic location of the university gives the resident student opportunities to explore and pursue a wide variety of activities. Located on the Appalachian Plateau, an area of rolling hills, the university is a short drive from camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, white water rafting, and canoeing, and skiing in the Laurel Mountains. In addition to varied cultural activities on campus, the student has easy access to the Pittsburgh metropolitan area, located only 35 miles north of the campus. This provides an opportunity to enjoy the Pittsburgh Symphony, the Pittsburgh Ballet, the Civic Light Opera, the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, the Pittsburgh Steelers, Penguins, and Pirates, various museums and all of the excitement and attractions of a major metropolitan area. 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. 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 ArmentiJr. 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 Canoqsburg, PA, opened in January, offering a variety of courses and programs. 1998: The University formally adopts three core values: integrity, civility and responsibility. (Additional information may be found in the book by Regis J. Serinko, 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.

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 following 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: • • • • 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 umvers1ty. 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. Transfer Credit Evaluation Policy 1. • • 2. • • 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. • 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 10 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 combinatio n 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 fin ancial 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 the Azorsky Administration Building. 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 724938-4551. In addition, a 24-hour 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 (F AFSA) 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 towards 'a degree or certificate in an eligible program. • be an 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 neither are not in default on a student loan nor owe an overpayment 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 WWW site. (www.sss.gov) Completing the FAFSA Each year, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid {FAFSA) or Renewal FAFSA. The 2001-2002 FAFSA or Renewal F AFSA is available now. Prior year aid recipients will 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 2000-2001 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 2001-2002 FAFSA. You can obtain the 20001-2002 FAFSA from a high school guidance counselor, public library, or the fin ancial 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. FAFSA 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 2001-2002 Free Application for Federal Student Aid {FAFSA) directly to the federal processor. The "FAFSA on the Web" site supports both Netscape Navigator {4.0 or higher) and Internet Explorer {5.0 or higher) Internet browsers. Students wanting to complete their 2001-2002 FAFSA via the web can do so after January 1, 2001. 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 F AFSA on the Web site provides students/ parents with numerous electronic options, such as 13 checking on the status of the student's FA FSA form, requesting a duplicate set of SAR 's, tips and shortcuts, and requesting a Personal Identification Number (PIN). The FAFSA 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 the same type of information provided at their web site. The Benefits of FAFSA on the Weh • • • • • • • 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. F AFSA 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. F AFSA on the Web automatically edits applicant answers before transmitting, resulting in better information and fewer 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. Renewal Financial Aid Applicants As a renewal financial aid applicant, yo u have two choices in completing your 2001-2002 Renewal FAFSA. You can complete the paper version of the Renewal FAFSA 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 you access your personal information in various U .S. Department 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 F AFSA on the Web site www.pin.ed.gov and select the Concentration "Requesting a PIN." Once you 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. Your PIN is a valuable electronic tool, which allows you to electronically complete your Renewal FAFSA on the Web, sign your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (F AFSA) or Renewal F AFSA and make electronic corrections. The application process is faster if you use a PIN to sign your Renewal F AFSA on the Web application. PIN mailers will be sent out to all 2001-2001 FAFSA applicants as well. Both versions of the Renewal F AFSA contain preprinted information that you and your family (if applicable) reported last year, making it faste r and easier for you to complete. Please carefully review and update any preprinted information, which needs to be change for 2001-2002 school year . Federal Campus-based Aid At California University, we want to have the results of your 20012002 FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA by May 1, 2001 for you to be considered first-priority for federal campus-based aid (Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Perkins Loan and Federal Work-Study).

If you cannot or do not file your F AFSA by our first-priority deadline, please file as soon as you can; and, you will be considered for the Pell Grant, student loans, etc. PHEAA State Grant In order to receive state grant assistance from PHEAA, students must file their 2001-2002 FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA by May 1, 2001. 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 for financial aid is the same for all students, an adjustment 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 unreimbursed medical expenses which exceed 7.5% of the fam ily's adj usted income. The Change of Income Information Form will be available after January 2, 2002, by contacting the Financial Aid Office. A student who wants to appeal his or her dependency status for financial 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. Unfortunately, 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. qualify for the Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan and/ or Parent Loan for Undergraduate Student (PLUS). Your parent must be willing to apply for the PLUS Loan and have a satisfactory credit history. Verification Some of our financial aid applicants are selected in a process called verification. During this verification process, the FAO office must verify the accuracy of FAFSA 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 tentative (estimate only) pending the completion and outcome of verification. Federal Stafford Loans are not certified until the verification process has been completed. After You Apply FAFSA Results Cost of Attendance The federal government will process your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (F AFSA) 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. Each year the University establishes a total "cost of attendance" 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/living costs" (off-campus housing, books/supplies, and/or personal expenses) not billed by the University. When you apply for Federal student aid the information reported on the F AFSA is used in a formula 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: li!J contribution from the parents' income and assets @ contribution from the student's income and assets fi1 number of members in the household ~ number of family members enrolled at least half-time in college You can obtain an estimate of your EFC yourself 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 3100, 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 following 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 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 adjust a budget include the following: • • • • 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 FAO 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 f ram 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 stans 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 Award Letter Packet by mid-April. For students who have not been 15 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. Upper class or graduate student Award Letter Packets are mailed once we have received the results of your F AFSA and we have determined that you are making Satisfactory Academic Progress for financial aid purposes. Satisfactory Academic Progress In order to receive financial aid, you must make Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for fin ancial 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 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 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. A student who is found deficient in one or more components is put on Financial Aid Probation for the next school year. Students on finan cial aid probation will be eligible to receive federal Title IV financial aid assistance during this probationary period. Please Note: Students will not be granted fin ancial aid pro bation for two consecutive academic years. If a student is on probation for a year and is fo und deficient, the student is ineligible to continue to receive fin ancial 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", alo ng 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 fin ancial 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 for ms are available in the Financial Aid Office. The deadline date fo r filin g an appeal fo r fall is Oct. 2, 2001, and for spring, Feb. 23 , 2002. 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 fin al 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 Grams 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 FAFSA to apply for most grams. Sources of grams 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 o r read it on the Web at www.ed.gov/prog_info/SFA/ StudentGuide/. Federal Pell Grants Federal Pell G ram s are awarded based upon the analysis of the F AFSA, cost-of-attendance, and enrollment status (full time or pan time). Pell Grams are awarded only to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's degree or professional degree. Pell Grants often provide a fo undation of fin ancial aid to which other aid is added for the neediest students. The United States Department of Education uses a standardized fo rmul a, established by Congress and called the Federal N eeds Analysis Methodology, to evaluate the information you report on the FAFSA 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. Box 84 Washingto n, DC 20044 The Pell Gram for 2001-2002 will range from $400 to $3750. The maximum Pell Grant award can change each year based upon Congressional funding levels. However, if you are eligible for a Pell Grant based upon your EFC number, you are guaranteed to receive it. For the 2001-2002 school year, full-time students with EFCs from zero to 3550 qualify for a Pell Grant award. Those with EFCs greater than 3550 are not eligible for a Pell Grant but could be eligi ble for other types of aid. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) is for undergraduate students with exceptional financial need, i.e., students wit h the lowest Expected Family Contributions (EFCs). Preference is given to Pell Grant recipients who file their F AFSA by our first priority deadline of May 1 in order to be considered fo r this gram; therefore, you should submit your FAFSA by April 1 of the award year. The FSEOG annual award typically ranges from $600 to $1200. Pennsylvania State Grants PHEAA Grants provide need-based state grant assistance of up to $3,200 per year. The gram program is funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and is administered by PHEAA Gram Division. Student receives up to eight full-time semesters of PHEAA Grant assistance or sixteen semesters of pan-time assistance. Eligibility Criteria: 16 The student must: @ be a Pennsylvania resident.

Student Employment About Student Employment Part-time employment offers you the opportunity to 1) earn part of your educational expenses; 2) gain valuable work experience; and, 3) work with staff, fac ulty, and/or community members. 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. Of course, there are many facto rs you will want to consider when deciding if working is appropriate for you. If you do decide to work on a part-time basis while pursuing your education, California University has two student employment programs, Federal and Institutional Work-Study. In order to establish a reasonable balance between your academic efforts and your work schedule, students typically work eight hours per week during the academic year. Students in both programs are paid the Federal minimum wage. California University is an Equal Opportunity/ Affirmative Action Employer. The Financial Aid Office reaffirms the University's commitment to the policy that there shall be no discrimination against any individual in educational or employment opportunities because of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, status as a disabled veteran or veteran of the Vietnam era, or disability. Also, there shall be no discrimination because of age except in compliance with requirements of retirement plans or state and federal laws and guidelines. Federal & Institutional Work-Study Federal Work-Study is a federal financial aid program which allows you to earn money to help pay educational expenses and encourages community service work and work related to your course of study to the extent possible. In order to qualify for Federal Work-Study you must demonstrate sufficient financial need as determined from the results of your F AFSA. In addition, the Financial Aid Office must receive the results of your F AFSA by our first-priority deadline of May 1. If selected to receive a Federal Work-Study award, the FAO will send you an award notice requesting your acceptance or rejection of the award. If you are not awarded Federal Work-Study and you are still interested in working, you are eligible to apply for an Institutional Work-Study posmon on campus. Our Institutional Work-Study Program, which is funded by the University, provides student employment opportunities to enrolled students regardless of financial need or the date your F AFSA is submitted to our office. Application Procedures In order to apply for either the Federal or the Institutional WorkStudy Program. you must complete the FAFSA and mark "yes" to the question on the F AFSA that asks you if you are interested in student employment. A Work-Study Eligibility Card is automatically generated for any student who meets the following criteria: 0 files a F AFSA; ~ is making Satisfactory Academic Progress; and li! is currently enrolled at least half time. A "white card" is generated for those students awarded a Federal Work-Study position while a "pink" card is generated for students interested in our Institutional Work-Study Program. Either card authorizes you to interview for a position (federal or institutional) in one of our many on-campus and a number of off-campus employment locations. In addition, a work-study information packet will also be sent to you before the beginning of fall semester. California University does not assign or place students in positions, but rather our office posts the jobs that are available (both Federal and Institutional). Because the job posting service is centralized, students are assured an equal opportunity to apply for available jobs. Job postings appear on the Job Posting Board located outside the Financial Aid Office in Dixon Hall. Students are encouraged to check the postings on a daily basis. Jobs are posted when new positions become available and when vacancies occur. Summer Employment During summer sessions both part-time (10 hours a week) and fulltime (maximum of 300 hours during May-August) employment opportunities are available to qualified students. Students interested in summer employment must complete a FAFSA and a "Summer Work Study Application." You can obtain this application by contacting the Financial Aid Office or clicking on "Forms" at the bottom of our opening webpage. Payroll Procedures All students employed by California University must complete the following payroll forms: 1. A Work-Study Eligibility Card signed by the hiring Department. 2. Federal 1-9 Employment Authorization Form, which requires both your driver's license and a social security card (or other acceptable documents). 3. W-4 Withholding Form to determine the number of exemptions you are claiming for federal, state, and local income tax withholding purposes. 4. Exemption or Personal History Form to determine if retirement will be deducted from your earnings. 5. Payroll Authorization Card. Most students are paid by check every two weeks for the hours worked the previous two weeks. You pick up your paycheck from your student employment department. Your earnings are not credited to your account to apply towards your tuition, room and board, and/ or other charges although you can use your earnings to make payments yourself. Direct deposit to a bank account is available by contacting the Payroll Office. 17 Scholarships About Scholarships Califo rnia U niversity of Pennsylvania offers academically talented and creatively gifted students a variety of University and Endowed Scholarship opportunities.

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 fro m which to choose, circumstances under which you can postpone repayment, and other favo rable terms and conditions. Student loans can be thought of as an investment in your future as long as yo u 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 fin ancial 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 Calculato r are two electronic tools that can help you with this task. These are available at www.salliemae.com. In addition, the Career Services O ffice can provide you with info rmation concerning entry level salaries in most fields. At California U niversity, the federal government funds nearly 95% of all loans processed. Over 50% of all fin ancial aid awarded at California University comes fro m the Federal Stafford Loan Programs. Federal Family Educational Loan Programs (FFELP) In order to apply fo r any type of FFELP (subsidized, unsubsidized, and/o r 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. 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 grad uate 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 combinatio n of both. In order to qualify for a subsidized loan, you must have financial need. To determine if you have financial need, yo ur 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 defe rment. 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 ful l. You have the option of allowing the interest to accumulate, or accrue, on the loan while you are in school and during yo ur six-month grace period before repayment. You also have the Concentratio n 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, will be added to yo ur 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 you 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 upon several factors including your grade level in school and your dependency status fo r financial aid purposes. disbursement of your student loan. This fee is kept by the federal government to help reduce the cost of the loans. 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 fin ancial 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 and/or 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 not 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 (96 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. · A three or fo ur percent loan fee will be deducted from each disbursement. The loan fee is kept by the federa l government to help reduce the costs of loans. The PLUS Loan goes in to repayment within 60 days of the final -loan disbursement fo r 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 Stafford Loan Borrowing Chart Grade Level Annual Amount ,:.

The interest rate is adjusted each July 1. A two or three percent fee is deducted proportionately from each 23 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 you 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 (F AFSA) 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 $1500 to $2500 per school year to be disbursed in equal semester payments, i.e., $750 and $1250 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 finalize receipt of your Perkins Loan. another four-year college in Pennsylvania, you will only receive an approval 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. Please Note: If you are a non-resident student selecting a lender for the first time, 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. Step 5: PHEAA will mail an "Approval Notice" which confirms the amount of your loan that was approved and processed. Please Note: You will have 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 California University. Finally, all first-time Stafford Loan borrowers must complete a loan counseling session before Stafford 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 "Admissions/ Financial Aid." Proceed by clicking on the "Financial Aid Homepage" and select "Links and Resources" and finally select "On-line Student Loan Entrance Counseling." Disbursement of Financial Aid Crediting Financial Aid to a Student's Account 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 arrange ments to complete your Perkins Loan Exit Interview. Application Process (Master Promissory Note) Step 1: File the electronic or paper version of the 2001-2002 F AFSA and check "Yes" to question 35 . Step 2: The pre-certification step is the most important step in the loan process. During this step the Financial Aid Office will notify you of your maximum Federal Stafford Loan eligibility and type of Stafford Loan (subsidized and/ or unsubsidized) based on your financial 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 Office (F AO). Step 3: The F AO will transmit your Federal Stafford Loan information to PHEAA. If you have never completed a Federal Stafford Promissory Note, you will receive a pre-printed Federal Stafford Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN) Packet from PHEAA. If you completed a MPN last year at either California or 24 In general, once a student's financial aid award(s) has been finali zed (all requested forms received, verification completed, enrollment verified, and default status reviewed), the student's semester award amount(s) (except Federal Stafford Loans and Federal College Work-Study) wiII be credited to his/her account beginning with the second week of the semester. Federal Stafford Loans will also be 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 hours worked during the pay period. Please Note: Federal regulations prevent the delivery of the first disbursement of Federal Stafford Loan proceeds to firstyear, first-time borrowers until thirty days after the first day of classes. How Registration Affects Financial Aid Eligibility Federal regulations and institutional guidelines require students to be registered before any financial aid monies can be disbursed. In addition, all federal and state financial aid programs specify minimum enrollment requirements in order for a student to receive any (maximum or partial) assistance from these programs. These minimum enrollment requirements are broken into four 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 Pell Grant Ph eaa Grant Stafford Loans FSEOG& Perkins Loan Work-Study Enrollm ent Status Eligi ble Fo r Award % of Maximum Award Full-time 3/4-time 1/2-time < 1/2 time Fu ll-tim e l/2-or-3/4 time < 1/2 time Full-time to 1/2 time < 1/2-time Full-tim e Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes No Yes 100% 7S% SO% Va ries 100% varies No Award 100% No Yes No Awa rd 100% 3/4 time to 1/2- tim e < 1/2 time Full-time to 1/2 time < 1/2 time Yes SO% No Yes No Award 100% No No Award 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 from the university. Financial Aid Refunds Financial aid which exceeds the amount the student owes to the University 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 refun ds will be available starting the second week of the semester if you 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 ifyou 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 for Federal Student Aid" (FAFSA) is delayed at PHEAA and/or federal processor due to missing or incorrect information. Financial Planning Students planning to attend California University of Pennsylvania should be aware that the cash from many of the financial 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 for early term purchases (books, materials, art supplies, etc.) without depending upon financial aid funds. these regulations are as fo llows: Federal Pell Grant Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity G rant (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 following time frame for completion of a degree: Associate Degree Enrollment Status Full-time (12 or more credits) Three-quarter time (9 to 11 credits) Half-time (6 to 8 credits) N umber of Eligible Semesters 6 semesters 9 semesters 12 semesters Bachelor Degree Enrollment Status F ull-time (12 or more credits) Three-quarter time (9 to 11 credits) Half-time (6 to 8 credits) Number of Eligible Semesters 11 semesters 16 semesters 22 semesters Minimum Earned Credit Hours Maintaining Financial Aid Eligibility 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 enrollment status. A student must meet the fo llowing earned credit hour standards based on his/ her enrollment status: Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy Enrollment Status•:- Total Earned Credits per Year Full-time (12 or more credits) 24 credits Three-quarter time (9 to 11 credits) 18 credits Half-time (6 to 8 credits) 12 credits 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 for or receiving assistance from those programs. All California University students applying for Title IV federal assistance must meet the standards stated in this policy, regardless of whether or not they previously received aid. The financial aid programs governed by 25 * Assumes 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. for satisfying the minimum credit hour progression requirement. However, 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 year of attendance at California University. Minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average Eac h 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 1,g5::• Junior 1.95 Senior 2.00 •·Students pursuing an A ssociate Degree must have a 2.0 g.p.a. in order to graduate.. PHEAA Grant Progress Standard Even though the PHEAA Grant is a non-Title IV aid program, the satisfactory academic progress requirements for chis program are similar to the federal policy. For a student to remain eligible for a PHEAA Grant, he/ she muse meet the following 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 A student who fails to meet minimum academic standards (required g.p.a), as defin ed by the university, will be placed on academic probation status fo r one semester. Students are eligible to receive financial aid during the probation semester(s). At the end of the pro bation semester(s), a student must: For PHEAA Grant purposes, the repeated course(s) can be counted only once in meeting the 12 or 24 credit hour rest. Please Note: A student can only receive a maximum of 8 full-time or 16 part-time semesters of PHEAA Grant assistance. (1) achieve the required minimum grade point average (student is removed from academic probation); or (2) ac hieve at least a 2.0 grade point average during the pro bationary 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 IV federal aid. However, 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 pro bation. " During fin ancial aid probation a student is eligible to receive Title IV federal aid (see "Financial Aid Probation" section fo r additional information). If a student fails to achieve the Satisfactory Academic Progress Financial Aid Probation Special Grades 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. W (Withdrawal): All withdrawal categories do not earn credic(s) towa rd 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 minimum earned credit hour standards, but will not impact a student's grade point average. Repeated Courses: For a course chat has been repeated, only the last grade earned is used in calculating the grade point average and the credits are awarded only for 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 26 Standards during the review period as outlined in this policy, the student will be placed on financial aid probation. Students who fail to meet progress standards should refer to the "Financial Aid Suspension" section listed below. Students will remain on financial aid probation for the next award year and 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. Financial Aid Suspension If a student fails to achieve the minimum earned credit hour standard and/ or the minimum grade point average upon the conclusion of a student's financial aid probationary period, the student will be placed on financial aid suspension. Students placed on financial aid suspension (progress) will become ineligible for future Title IV assistance until the student's SAP deficiency is resolved. Eligibility for Reinstatement 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. 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 chat institution are transferable to California University and the student's college dean or appointed designee has authorized the transient course work. Students who make up their credit-hour deficiency at an institution other than California University 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: Only successfully earned credits, not grades, are transferable back to California from another approved institution. Students can only improve their grade point average by taking and successfully completing course work at California University. Appeal Procedures 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 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 for filing an appeal is the third 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 filing the appeal form. If the appeal is denied, final appeal must be made to the Director of Financial Aid within 10 working days of the date of the denial letter. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans Subsidized Stafford Loans PLUS Loans Perkins Loans Pell Grant Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Repayment of Unearned Financial Aid Assistance Students who receive a refund of financial aid before withdrawing from the University 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 . Refund/Repayment Policies Refund Policy Students who officially withdraw from the University or from specific classes during the semester may be eligible for a refund of a portion of the tuition, fees, room and board paid to California University for that semester. Refunds are based on the official date of withdrawal as recorded by the Academic Records Office (for additional information see "Withdrawal from the University" listed in the Academic Policies section of the catalog). Students who do not follow 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 formulas exist for determining the amount of the refund: California University's Refund Policy (for additional information see "University Refund Policy" in Billing Section) and the federal "Return of Title IV Aid" formula. The federal formula is applicable to any student receiving federal aid and withdraws from the University during the first 60% of a semester. These students will have their federal financial aid (Pell Grants, Supplemental Education Opportunity 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 University 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.

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 depanment to another, but usually two or three hours of laboratory work are wonh 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 pan-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 pan-time status for the current term.

For example, if a student has attempted a total of 60 credits, with 12 credits wonh 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 following 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 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 suppon a student appeal procedure that gives both the student and the facu lty 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, 29 the student should then contact the facu lty 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 follow ing the term in which the grade in question was given. The chairperson shall notify in writing the student and faculty member of his/her find ings and decision within 15 working days of his/ her receipt of the appeal from the stude nt. 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 reso lution 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. In the case of other academic decisions, the student should fo llow 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 fo llow the same appeal procedure as listed above. Cheating and Plagiarism Truth and honesty are necessary prerequisites for all education, and students who attempt to improve their grades or class standi ng 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 professo r will refer the matter to t he appropriate dean or to the P rovost. Class Attendance Regular class attendance is a prerequisite to successful class performance. U niversity policy permits class absence for cause but places an obligation fo r successfu l 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 absences. T he 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 info rm 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 requi red in such cases. The Dean will in tu rn 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 H ealth Center will notify professors about students' absences (or other failure to ful fill 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 wo rk 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 (1-3 1) Sophomore (32-63) Junior {64-95) Senior (96 or more) Minimum QPA 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 Californ ia University are used in determining a student's QPA. Students who do not achieve the minimum QP A fo r their class rank will be subject to Academic Probation or Academic Dismissal. Satisfactory Academic Progress is also requ ired for continued eligibility for fi nancial aid. Academic Probation A student whose total number of credits attempted has reached or exceeded twelve and whose overall QP A is below the specified minimum fo r his or her class rank will be placed on Academic Probation. 30 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: 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 QPA 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 further 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) 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. 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 made by completing a form in the Academic Records Office or by writing 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 the university have not been met in full. to 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. 31 Registration Procedures Credit by Examination/ Course Challenges 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. 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. 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 pay ment arrangements by the announced due date will have their semester schedules canceled. 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 obtai n 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. 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 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) 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 D ean 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. Class schedules may be changed during the add/ drop period using the schedule adjustment forms. All schedule adjustments are governed by the fo llowing regulations. 1. Prior to making schedule adjustments, a student should consult with his or her academic advisor to discuss how the adjustment wiU affect his or her academic progress. 2. Courses may be added prior to th e second class meeting during the Fall and Spring semesters and during the first day of a summer 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. 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 QPA. The original grade, however, will remain on the student's transcript. Some courses may be repeated for credit and are exempt from this policy. 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. Auditing A Course 5. 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 summer term; or during the last three weeks of a ten-week summer term. 6. Ceasing to attend class does not constitute official withdrawal! Students must officially drop from a course. Leaving a 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 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. Students may register to audit a course according to the fo llowing 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. 32 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 Oess than 12 credits) or to less than half-time Oess than six credits) should contact the Financial Aid Office prior to completing the drop. 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 gove rned by the fo llowing regulations: 1. 2. 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 Regist rar. If the student withdraws officially durin g the fi rst 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 Q P A. For an official wit hd rawal from a five-week session, W grades will be recorded du ring the first two weeks only . 3. 4. 5. 6. After the sixth week of the semester, a student who m akes an official withdrawal receives WP or WF grades in all courses scheduled. Professors assign A , B, C, D , or F grades, and the D ean assigns WP grades to A, B, and C, and WF to D o: F grades. For five-week courses the WP-WF grades are assigned after the end of the second week. N o student is permitted to withdraw officially from the un iversity du ring the last three weeks of a semester or summer term. Leaving the unive rsity without notifying the Academic Records O ffice and m aking an official withdrawal m ay result in automatic failure fo r all courses scheduled. It also makes the student ineligible for refund of tuition and fees, and may affect academic status and fin ancial aid. Imp roper 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 fro m the U niversit~ should consult w ith the Financial Aid Office prior to completmg the withdrawal process. Administrative Withdrawals The university administration has the authority to w ithdraw a student fro m the university and to revoke that student's registration at any time for the fo llowing reasons: 1. Registration in violation of university regulations (e.g., academic ineligibility to register). 2. Failure to comply with academic requi rements (e.g., unsatisfactory class attendance, violation of the learning contract fo r 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 such th at the student cannot be permitted to continue in attendance. 6. Other reasons deemed app ropriate by the proper administrative officer. Grades of WP, WF, WX are recorded fo r Administrative W ithdrawals. The grade of WX is not computed in the student's grade point average and therefore involves no academic penalty. T he Registrar must authorize the reco rding of this grade. If a student registers in violation of the academic eligibility rule, th e registration is declared invalid, th e 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 fo r 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 wee ks in a five-week summer session, th e grade of WX is recorded fo r all courses on a student's schedule. No other grades, such as Incomplete, are ass igned. After this period, t_he 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. 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 app roval 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. 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 O ffice of Student D evelopment and written not ification is sent to the Academic Records Office, who cancels the student's registration and notifies other administrative offices 33 and faculty members as necessary. ness extended by California University might not be recognized by other academic institutions to which the student may transfer. If fac ulty 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 fo llowing 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 Tide IV financial assistance (federal grants, loans, and student employment). Therefore, if readmitted, the student must attend without the benefit of Tide IV financial aid until the required minimum QPA 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. 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 California 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 forgive ness under this policy. This policy supersedes all previous Academic Forgive ness Policies at California University 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 four-year period, are excluded from the computation of the grade point average; however, no grades will normally be removed from the permanent record. Academic forgiveness will be granted only once for any student and forgive- 34 The Registrar will give consideration for academic forgiveness when a signed written request is received. If the student attended any institution of higher education, during the specified fo ur-year period, he/ she must identify the institution(s) and arrange to have official transcripts sent to the Registrar. All students requesting academic fo rgiveness must earn at least a 2.0 GP A during the first twelve credit hours of coursework attempted at Californ ia University after readmission. The student's request for forgiveness may be submitted during the semester of readmission or thereafter and must identify the fo ur-year non-enrollment period. If all prerequisite conditions have been met, academic forgiveness will be granted. Other decisions regarding academic forgiveness are subject to approval by the Provost of the University. College Level Examination Program (CLEP) The university offers the opportunity to earn undergraduate credit through 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, Natural Sciences, Mathematics, Humanities, and Social Science/ History. A student may earn up to thirty credits by passing the appro priate tests in these areas. The Subject Examination comprehensively tests a single subject, such as General Psychology, Statistics, etc. A student who passes one of these examinations is awarded credit for a comparable course at the universi ty. The CLEP program is administered by the Advising & Placement Testing Center and the Southpointe Center. There 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 Undergraduate students may enroll in graduate courses for undergraduate credit if they meet the necessary requirements for those courses. Individual departments determine the prerequisites for each course. Graduate status may be a prerequisite for admission to some courses. Graduate credits used to fulfill undergraduate requirements may not also be used to fulfill requirements in a graduate program. Graduate Credit Load for Seniors Undergraduates who are in their last term on campus and who are completing or have completed all the requirements for their undergraduate degree may enroll in graduate classes fo r graduate credit. They must fulfill all requirements fo r entrance into Graduate School (other than the undergraduate degree or teaching certification). Transfer Credits Current California University students who wish to take courses at some other college or university to transfer back to California University, should get approval to do so from their advisor and from the dean of their college at Califo rnia University before registering for and taking such courses. Students seeking to transfer credits to California University should note the following guide- (a) Dual Major is the pursuit of two separate baccalaureate majors in the same degree area simultaneously. These majors may be in a single department or two departments, and each must be recorded in the appropriate dean's office. Courses from one major area may be used to satisfy requirements in the other major. Both majors are recorded on the transcript, but all requirements for 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. It does not lead to a second degree. The prospective student must apply through the Office of Admissions, register the intention of pursuing a Second Major, and fulfill any of the requirements of that Second Major that have not yet been satisfied. lines and should refer transfer credit questions to the Articulation and Transfer Evaluation Office: 1. Transfer credits are usually determined by their equivalency to Californ ia University 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. Credits transfer, but grades and quality points do not. Transfer credits cannot raise a student's QP A; therefore, do not take repeat courses at another institution . 4. Courses taken at a community college, the equivalents of which are designated as upper-level courses at Califo rnia, may transfer only as electives rather than equivalents to courses offered at California University. Dual Majors, Second Majors And Second Degrees California University grants the following 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 four-year, baccalaureate degrees.) These are referred to below as degree areas. A distinction is drawn between the fo llowing objectives and opportunities and between the means to achieve them: (1) a Dual Major; (2) a Second Major; (3) a Second Degree and (4) a Dual Degree. These opportunities, as explained below, are the only ones offered. The university will, for example, award only one degree from any degree area. None of these opportunities should be confused with any certification programs, such as those in Teacher Education. 1. More than One Major: 2. More than one Baccalaureate Degree (a) A Dual Degree 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 from 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. Students are responsible for meeting all graduation requirements and for submitting the required forms on time. Compliance with the following general policies and procedures will help students prepare fo r graduation: 1. The period during which application for graduation must be made is posted throughout campus and printed in the Schedule of Classes and the California Times. Students must apply for graduation in the appropriate dean's office by the deadline. All credentials for graduation, including an application for a teaching certificate where appropriate and transcripts of credits fro m other institutions, must be submitted on time. Graduation may be delayed if a student's record is incomplete. 2. A minimum of 128 semester credits, including the satisfactory completion of all required courses, is necessary for graduation. Developmental courses, ENG 100, DMA 092, DMA 094, and EDE 100, do not count towards graduation, though the credits earned in them are used to determine class standing and grade pomt average. 35 3. 4. 5. 6. Students in all curricula must complete a minimum of thirty credits of the last sixty credits at California University of Pennsylvania. An overall grade point average of 2.5 is required in the Teach er Education curricula. An overall grade point average of 2.0 is required in most programs of study. Certain other programs may require minimum grades in courses within the maior. In the College of Education and Human Services, candidates in teacher education programs must complete Student Teaching. All financial obligations to the university must be paid in full before graduation can be approved. Conferring of Degrees Degrees are conferred in May (at the end of the spring semester) , in August (at the end of the summer session), and in December (at the end of the fall semester); but Commencement is held only once a year , in May. Students who graduate in August or December may participate in the Commencement exercises of the follow ing May, but their diplomas and official university transcripts record their date of graduation as of the month and year in which their degree was conferred. Attendance at the Commencement exercises is appropriate, unless unusual circumstances warrant graduation in absentia. Permission to graduate in absentia is granted by the President of the university, or his designee. Candidates for graduation should contact the President's Office, or his designee's office, and request pennission to be excused from the Commencement ceremony. A graduate of California University of Pennsylvania is a member of the class of that calendar year in which the degree was conferred. That is, if one graduated in May, August, or December of 2001, one is a member of the class of 2001 regardless of the year one may have attended Commencement. program and have completed 64 credits (if a junior) and 96 credits (if a senior), of which at least 30 must have been taken at this university (calculated beyond an earned associate degree or other first degree, if applicable, and in the present baccalaureate degree program) . An associate degree-seeking student designated as a Presidential Scholar must have a cumulative QP A of 3.25 at California and have completed 45 credits; all of which must have been taken at this umvers1ty. Both full-time and part-time students may, if qualified, be named Presidential Scholars.

The university official 37 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 EveningWeekend College, and the Southpointe Ce~ter 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 Development, Communication Disorders, Counselor Education & Services, Educational Studies, Elementary Education & Early C hildhood 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, Health Science & Sports Studies, and Social Work & Gerontology form the 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 38 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.

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. H owever, 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 t he 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 & H uman 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.

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. Advanced Preparation Program: Beginning September 1, 2001, an applicant for an advanced preparation program must have an entry GPA of 3.0. Candidates who were admitted to an advanced preparation program prior to 39 Student Teaching for Experienced Teachers interships opportunities that allow students to gain professional experience and apply classroom knowledge to the world of work. 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. Students should select a major by the end of the thi rd regular 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 have program options in Liberal Studies, Humanities, and Social Sciences. The curriculum in each is flexible and permits interdisciplinary study. Appeal Procedure for Certification Students Students wishing to appeal a decision regarding teaching certification should contact the Dean 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, Harrisburg, 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 may 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 40 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, Mathematics & 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, government, industry, health care, and other complex organizations. As well, several of the College programs 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 for 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 industry 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 leadin g 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.

Information or course schedules may be obtained by calling the Graduate School at 724-938-4187, or checking www.cup.edu. University College 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 world of work into the University environment by developing personal advisor-advisee relationships (using faculty and peer/ student mentors); assessing basic skills and knowledge; assessing career interests and related activities; helping to develop an academic plan based on student skills and interests. 2. 3. 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. Opportunities to explore various 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. First-Year Seminar UNI 100 First-Year Seminar is designed to he! p students make a smooth transition into the University environment. It is a onecredit course required of most first-time students. Topics covered in the course include: time management, campus life issues, library, writing/ studying skills, math/ reading skills, financial aid, academic and career planning, health issues and individual assistance. The FYS is taught by some of our best faculty. Probationary Assistance (PASS) Program The PASS Program provides the additional structure and support that may be necessary for student academic success. Participation in the PASS Program is required of students who are on First Academic Probation and students who have been dismissed for academic reasons and are subsequently readmitted. Students meet weekly with faculty, staff or graduate assistants to reinforce life/ academic goals, time-management, study skills, campus resources (resource/referral), academic advisee responsibilities and the appeal process. Data indicate that students who participate actively in PASS have a greater probability of succeeding academically than those who do not. Early Warning Notices (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 monitors 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 Introductory 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. However, 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. Office of Lifelong Learning The Office of Lifelong Learning serves learners interested in both credit and noncredit learning opportunities. Our programs of study are flexible and can be customized to meet your desire to further your education.

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 requirements. 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 a lab course. Definition: a lab course uses the scientific method in observation, collection and manipulation of data, interpretation of data, and drawing conclusions. 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. NOTE: 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. 49 Academic Development Services Purpose The Department of Academic Development Services operates three grant-funded programs: Act 101, Student Support Services and Upward Bound.

Minors are available in ceramics, crafts, painting, printmaking and sculpture. Purpose Award The study of anistic expression is a study of the development of an forms such as sculpture and painting; the study of technique, that is the use of color, design, and perspective to achieve the anist's objectives; and a retrospective on what a culture and society has seen, valued, and understood about its place in the world order. The An Student Travel Award is presented annually to an art major for an travel/study in a foreign country. For consideration, an applicant must have completed 45 credits at California University, achieved a minimum of 3.00 QP A, completed two art history courses, and submitted a statement of purpose, itinerary of travel and official transcript. An is a product of human creativity, a manifestation of the human spirit and meaning. The study of an is included in a liberal education because it informs students about the universal search for meaning and meaningful expression, about their past, and about how each person learns to move from a literal and concrete level of understanding to a more symbolic one. Programs The An major can pursue one of two tracks: (1) a general An major (Bachelor of Ans in An) or (2) an An Cenification program for teaching in either a primary or a secondary school. Students choosing the An Cenification program take the same program of study as the Bachelor of Ans in An and must take the courses required under the aniculation agreement with the cooperating college or university which offers an cenification. The newest depanmental program is a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design. This degree program is vocationally-oriented and is responding to a market demand that remains at a steady increase. In our increasingly information-based society, designers and creative thinkers (graphic designers, an directors, web designers) are in great demand. In combining the strengths of the An and Design and Applied Engineering and Technology depanments, student seeking technology-oriented careers such as web designers are assured of having the strong design skills required to make them competitive in their field. Students seeking employment as an directors will have knowledge of the cutting-edge technology used under their direction. California University also has an agreement with The An Institute of Pittsburgh that permits a graduate of the Institute's two-year program to receive sixty credit hours toward a Bachelor of Ans degree from California University. A second agreement between the schools permits California University students to take courses during their junior year in visual communication at the Institute and receive up to thiny credits in transfer if they complete one year of full-time course work there. Careers The Art program is flexible. It directs students into various areas of art, including an history, basic technique courses, and a series of advanced studio courses in one or more of the following: drawing, painting, sculpture, crafts, ceramics, and printmaking. The program of study prepares students to enter graduate school as well as to pursue careers in professions utilizing art. Students can become professional anises in their area of specialization, although most will need to undenake graduate education if they are to be successful professionals. Commercial art in advertising and in broadcast media continues to be a major employer of art students. The Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design will provide a student with the opportunity to move into the field of commercial art. Graphic designers are employed in almost every area of the advertising industry. The BA in Art Education will provide a student with K-12 cenification for teaching art in the public schools in the elementary and secondary levels. Graduates with studio an training have opponunities to work in various museum settings, in an galleries and in interior decorating establishments. They also can seek positions in design departments and as art directors in large corporations. Artists can use their talents in conjunction with other areas of specialty, such as Biology, History, and Archaeology. Artists can be illustrators in these areas. Finally, artists may link the study of an with another discipline. Examples include medical an; the utilization of an in therapy, for persons interested in the areas of psychology and an; and the linkage of an, archaeology, and history in the recording of artifacts and in reconstructive work. Bachelor of Arts in Art-128 credits General Education (51-54 credits) The junior year program with the Pittsburgh An Institute permits students to take courses not available at California University in the areas of visual communication, illustration, interior design, photography, industrial design technology, etc. These courses of study prepare students fo r positions in commercial an-for example, advertising, publishing and corporate communication. Students acquire knowledge and experience in preparing art and layouts for reproduction. The depanment also offers a minor in Art with several concentration opportunities. A minor in an would be helpful if you are interested in building a "specialty" in another curriculum such as a business major with an an minor who wants to work in gallery an sales or as a curator. Perhaps you just love an as a hobby, and having a minor in an would help you improve your skills. A minor in an combined with a degree in education would provide a future classroom teacher with an area of concentration that could 68 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 (pages 43-48).

Biological & Environmental Sciences Purpose The Biological & Environmental Science programs are intensive scientific curricula that prepare students for graduate work in the biological and environmental sciences and career work in many related areas. The major emphasis of these programs is to provide students with a broad scientific core of courses, including studies in chemistry, physics, mathematics, and biology. Students have the opportunity to select, in consultation with their faculty advisors, a wide range of biological and environmental science elective courses that best fulfill their needs for future work or graduate study. Practical laboratory experience emphasizes critical thinking and the use of instrumentation to study living systems. Academic credit can be obtained for practical internship experiences. Programs A wide variety of majors and concentrations in various degree programs are offered by the department. Students may decide to pursue the B.S. in Biology, the Pre-Professional track, or one of several tracks in the B.S. in Environmental Science. Those interested in teaching may choose the B.S.Ed in Biology. Cooperative programs also allow students to pursue careers in medical technology or mortuary science. The department also offers minors in Biology and in Environmental Studies. Facilities The Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences is housed in a modern, four-story building equipped with an array of biological and environmental science instruments. Specialized areas include both scanning and transmission electron microscope facilities, an animal room, greenhouse, herbarium, plant growth facilities, museum and photographic facilities. Teaching laboratories are equipped for the study of anatomy, botany, cytology, ecology, embryology, entomology, genetics, microbiology, parasitology, physiology, zoology, mammalogy, water pollution biology, ichthyology, behavioral ecology, biometry, physiological ecology, solid waste management, air quality monitoring, dendrology, ornithology and wildlife biology. Academic Societies Beta Beta Beta is the national honor society for biological sciences. The Upsilon Theta chapter was chartered in 1978. The society fosters the pursuit of knowledge, research experience, and service, in our students. Students can achieve membership if they maintain a QPA of 3.30 after completing 45 credit hours and are extended an invitation to join. Further information can be obtained at the department office. California University's student chapter of the National Wildlife Society was chartered in 1996. Membership is open to all students interested. The student chapter won first place in the field competition and second place in the quiz bowl at the 1997 Northeastern Conclave of The Wildlife Society and hosted the 1998 Northeastern Conclave. Careers Career opportunities include preparation for graduate work in biology and related fields, for industrial research, for government research, for careers in public health, and in the many healthrelated fields. A steady demand exists for environmental scientists, such as wildlife biologists, fishery biologists, water analysis technicians, air pollution control monitors, environmental health technicians, and interpretative naturalists. Many graduates are employed in these areas by private industry and by state and federal agencies. Some graduates further their education and teach and do research at a college or university. Awards Each year the Department honors graduating seniors who have excelled academically: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania University Biologist A ward for Outstanding Student in Biology; Academic Excellence in Biological Science; Academic Excellence in Environmental Science; and Outstanding Woman Graduate in the Biological and Environmental Sciences.

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 California 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 popluation contributes to the growth of he field. The younger population has a growing incidence of head, neck and brain injuries that cuase speec and language disorders, and the aging population is more suseptible to hearing loss, stoke, brain pathology and other communication disorders. The obj ectives 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 important to maintain a QPA of 3.0 or higher because fe w 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 chat employment with only a bachelors degree may soon be available. Students who do not choose to continue their education at the masters level will find that a bachelors degree in 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 92 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 & Hearing 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 various goals (pages 43-48).

The facu lty 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 seeks to provide 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 94 that the student complete twenty-one (21) credits. 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 world 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 acqui re 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 fo undation 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. Programs The Earth Science major has four concentrations: Environmental Earth Science, Operational Meteorology, Hydro-Meteorology, 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 a teacher certification program for those interested teaching Earth Science in secondary schools. Honors The national Earth Science honor society, Sigma Gamma Epsilon, has a chapter (Alpha Zeta) on campus. Students recognized 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 planner, 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.

The department is committed to educational reform and works in partnerships with a number of public schools. Through field experiences and student teaching, Secondary Education majors are expected to become involved in these teaching centers and in the activities of the department. All programs in the department are engaged in professional development. Periodic reviews of student progress including board review are part of that professional preparation as are long-term personal/ professional relationships. Programs Secondary certification is offered in Biology, Chemistry, Communication'f (with a concentration in either Speech or Theater), Comprehensive Social Studies, Earth Science, English*, Environmental Education, General Science, Mathematics, Modern Foreign Languages (French and Spanish), and Physics. The curriculum for each certification program is listed in the description of the department that offers the academic area for that program. ''Communication and English certifications allow teaching in both areas. Additional opportunities are available. Athletic Training may be combined with certification in an academic area. Technology Education is offered through the Department of Applied Engineering and Technology. Art certification is available for Art majors through a cooperative agreement with other area colleges. These opportunities are described more fully in the description of the department offering these majors. Individuals with bachelor's degrees may become certified through the Certification Only Program taking those courses required for public school certification. Secondary Education Majors are advised both in the Education Studies Department and in the Department of their academic area. All Pennsylvania teachers must pass the Praxis examinations for certification. A grade point average of 2.6 must be maintained both overall and in the academic specialization in order to be admitted to and maintain good standing in the teacher education program. This requirement is changing over the next two years. 110 Elementary & Early Childhood Education Purpose The Elementary/Early Childhood Education D ep artment, accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), seeks to have students acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes essential to becoming successful members of the teaching profession. All course work and experiences in the major prepares students to meet the following standards: 1. Knowledge of subject matter 2. Knowledge of human development and learning 3. Adapting instruction for individual needs 4. Multiple instructional strategies 5. Classroom motivation and management skills 6. Communication skills 7. Instructional planning skills 8. Assessment of student learning 9. Professional commitment and responsibility 10. Partnerships Programs The Elementary/Early Childhood Education Department offers teacher education programs in Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, Elementary Education with a concentration in Middle School Education, and a dual major in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. The department also offers an Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education. The Elementary/Early Childhood and Special Education Departments together offer two dual-major programs: Elementary/ Special Education and Early Childhood/Special Education. See the section on Special Education for more information on these programs. Honor Society Kappa Delta Pi, an international honor society in education, has a California University chapter. Students in education who have demonstrated a high level of academic achievement are invited to apply for induction. Careers With the anticipated retirements of millions of public school teachers, the future looks bright for those students interested in a career in early childhood, elementary, or middle school education. Students with undergraduate degrees in these fields are prepared to pursue advanced study in a variety of disciplines. Career Services aids students seeking teaching positions locally and out-of-state. Admission to the Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education Programs Students must achieve a 2.6 QP A and a satisfactory score on the Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPST) of Praxis Series to be admitted to the programs in Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education.

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. Awards The English Department encourages and rewards academic achievement in several ways. The Eleanore C. Hibbs Writing A ward is given annually to one student each in Composition I and Composition II. An applicant for the award must submit an essay 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 famil iarity with speaking and reading a fore ign 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 department 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 Departments 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 diversiry 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 arts education and to prepare you fo r a world where cross cultural communication is vital fo r success. Placement Students entering a fore ign 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 examination. Awards The Elsbeth E. Santee Scholarship Fund grants renewal awards annually for students majori ng in a fo reign language who maintain a 3.0 QPA in their major. Information about the award and application procedures is available in the department 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. 122 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 (pages 43-48) .

Students may major in athletic training or combine athletic training with teacher education. The basic concept of athletic training involves prevention, care, treatment, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries. A dual-degree program in Athletic Training and Teacher Certification enables interested students to pursue the education and training necessary for a career as effective teachers and athletic trainers. Teacher Education program options for dual program are: Biology, Chemistry, Communication (Theatre), Earth Science, English, Foreign Languages, General Science, Mathematics, Physics, Social Studies, Special Education. The dual program includes the Athletic Training major requirements and the Professional Education and Professional Specialization requirements of the selected Teacher Education Program. Students interested in this dual program should contact the Program Director of the Athletic Training Education Program for details. This program also requires satisfactory performance on the Praxis II examination. 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. 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. 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. 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 has applied for accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOT A), located at 4720 Montgomery Lane, P.O. Box 31220, Bethesda, MD 20824-1220. AOTA's phone number is 301-652-AOTA. 126 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 grow much faster than the average through the year 2008 (as projected by the US Department of Labor). Careers in Occupational Therapy The U .S. Department of Labor Statistics projects the COT A employment rate to grow much faster that average (36%) for all occupations through 2008. Individuals who complete the program earn competitive salaries in a variety of practice settings such as group homes, hospitals, home health agencies, hospice, homeless shelters, industry, mental health facilities, nursing homes, prison systems, rehab centers, school systems, 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 is competitive, and only a limited number of students are selected each year. Applications for the Athletic Training curriculum are accepted during the second semester of the freshman year and screened by the Admissions and Academic Standards Committee (AASC).

Purpose Political science offers thre concentrations: general political science, public administration, and pre-law. The public administration concentration is an interdisciplinary field of study with courses offered through the programs in business and economics, as well as poltical science. 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 histo ry 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 majo r, 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. Political science is a highly prescribed discipline. It limits its interests to the political aspects of human behavior, both national and international, including the study of power and organizations. Under the international studies program, political science advises the international studies: political science concentration. This course of study is interdisciplinary. Political science students are placed in governmental agencies, law firms and office of public administrators and elected officials where they can observe and practice what they have learned in the classroom. Honor Society Students who meet the academic requirements are eligible for membership in Phi Alpha Theta, the International H onor Society. Information can be obtained from faculty advisors and the department office. Awards The History Faculty Award for Academic Excellence is given annually to the H istory major who has demonstrated outstanding achievement. The Edward Mc all 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.

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. Awards Currently, the Honors Program annually presents the following awards: Senior Thesis Project A ward and the Outstanding Honors Program Graduating Senior Award. Curriculum Purpose The H onors 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 major 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 H onors 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. 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 work 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 Honors 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 Honors Program. Inquiries about the Honors Program may be made of the Director, California University of Pennsylvania, California, PA 15419-1394, 724-938-4535 . 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). Honors Program students have the opportunity to participate in the Honors Program Residence Hall, which includes specialty housing in Johnson Hall as well as educational, social, and recreational programming. The Honors Program maintains a 135 Humanities Purpose 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 University 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. This program stresses breadth of knowledge and interdisciplinary awareness. Students have the opportunity, as well as the responsibility, to develop unique, integrated and personalized programs combining courses from Humanities 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.

Electives and/or Minor (34 credits) Justice Studies 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. Purpose 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 '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. 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. 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 FNE 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 o rientatio n to The program has designed course requirements for completion in the third and fourth years of study. Advisors play a crucial role in the plan and completion of these degree requirements. 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 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. 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, 1he 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/obs 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. the broad er visio n 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 dive rse 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 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. 137 Awards 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. Careers The criminal justice major prepares students for careers in professional justice agencies. Careers in criminal justice are multi-faceted and include state and local police, correctional organizations for adult 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.

This degree program provides for intellectual growth, selfimprovement, general knowledge, and a search for truth and understanding and may provide for the required technical training to become successful in the world of work. In addition, this program provides a flexible completion program for students whose circumstances have precluded the traditional degree route. Administration The program is overseen by the Dean of Liberal Arts and an advisory committee, composed of faculty from diverse disciplines. The student in conjunction with an advisor will determine the student's "plan of study," and the advisory committee and the dean will approve the plan. Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies - 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 (pages 43-48). Major (42 credits) Courses from the following disciplines may be completed: Anthropology (ANT), Art (ART), Communication Studies (COM), Earth Science (EAS), English (ENG), French (FRE), Geography (GEO), German (GER), History (HIS) , Literature (LIT), Music (MUS), Philosophy (PHI), Political Science (POS), Psychology (PSY), Sociology (SOC), Spanish (SPN), Theatre (THE). No more than 24 credits of courses with the same course prefix should be included in the plan of study. A minimum of 18 credits must be upper level, 300 or higher. Electives and/or Minor (34 credits) Internship Electives may be used with permission of the advisor. 141 Mathematics & Computer Science Purpose and Programs The Bachelor of Science in Computer & Information Science with a Concentration in Applied Computer Science is designed to provide the student with a strong computer science background supplemented with a substantial core of courses in a related academic discipline. The degree enables students to apply the Computer Science training to an academic area of their choice. The Bachelor of Science in Computer & Information Science with a Concentration in Information Technology (formerly called Industrial Management: Management and Computer Science Concentration) is designed to prepare the student for continued study at the graduate level or for employment in business, industry, or government. The Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Computer Science is a careful blending of courses that offers the student both theory and applications in mathematics and computer science. It prepares students for positions in business, industry or government or to go on to graduate studies in Math or Computer Science. The Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering Technology program provides a strong foundation in the fundamentals of engineering, with a depth of coverage in computer science, electrical engineering, and computer engineering. Computer Engineering Technology deals with abstract and practical concepts from science, mathematics, computer science, engineering, and technology. Emphasis is placed on applying current technology to practical problems and situations. 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 I 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. 142 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. The Associate in Computer Engineering Technology program provides a strong foundation in the fundamentals of engineering, with a depth of coverage in computer science, electrical engineering, and computer engineering. Computer Engineering Technology deals with abstract and practical concepts from science, mathematics, computer science, engineering, and technology. Emphasis is placed on applying current technology to practical problems and situations. Graduates of the associate degree program will provide technologist-related knowledge and technical expertise throughout the region, state, and nation. The graduates are qualified for technician positions. Employment opportunities exist in the areas of software, systems, microprocessor/microcontroller hardware, product sales and marketing. Graduates of the associate degree program can enter the third year of the baccalaureate Computer Engineering Technology program. In addition to the degree programs, the department offers an 18credit hour certificate program in personal computer applications. The program is designed to allow students to concentrate the courses in the area of Computer Information Systems and learn how to use computers in their daily lives. Minors in mathematics and in computer science are also offered to students in other majors who want to enhance their knowledge and their career potential. Internships Provision is made in several of the programs to accommodate student internships. The availability of these internships is dependent upon the needs of various governmental agencies and private employers, and they are not a guaranteed part of the program. If selected, the student may earn a salary as well as college credit and invaluable experience. Student work-study assignments are available for those who desire and qualify for employment. Students may assist in the Mathematics Department, the Computer Center, the Computer Laboratory, or the Mathematics Laboratory. Hence, students learn while they earn. Awards To encourage and recognize academic achievement, the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science makes the following awards: Computer Science A ward: The computer science award is presented annually to a graduating student of the Mathematics and Computer Science Department who has achieved a high level of academic excellence in computer science courses. Frederick E. Atkins Memorial Award: In honor of the contributions made by Frederick E. Atkins to the Mathematics D ep artment and to the many students he taught, an award established in his name is presented to a graduating student of the Mathematics and Computer Science Department who has achieved a high level of academic excellence in Mathematics courses, in either the Mathematics and Computer Science program or the Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics program.

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 so me "authorities" and "experts" whose unreflective confidence in their beliefs was mistaken. In this tradition, philosophy became the academic discipline 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 fu lfilled 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. 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. Philosophy students study the historical development of theories abo ut 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. 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. Careers 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. Philosophy majors work closely with their advisors to choose major and non-major courses that will help them achieve their individual educational and career goals. The philosophy program at California University is designed to be flexible so that it can be tailored to a variety of needs and 1nterests.

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 (pages 43-48). General Education (51-54 credits) Common to the degree programs offered by the Department of Social Science/Sociology is the study of people interacting with one another. Their common approach is scientific, that is, they study patterns of human behavior by objective, measurable methodologies. Sociology is the systematic study of all features of group life, beginning with the family and ending with glo bal arrangements. Because it is a multi-paradigm science, students are educated to appreciate a wide range of theoretical perspectives and research methods. The Sociology Program offers course work in the structures and processes of social interaction. The place of sociology in interdisciplinary studies also is emphasized. The Social Science Area major is general and interdisciplinary in nature. It presents an overview, as well as the interrelationships, of all the social science disciplines. Along with sociology, anthropology and political science, it includes psychology, history, geography and economics. Programs The department, in conjunction with the College of Education and Human Services, provides a teacher certification program for those interested in teaching the social sciences in secondary schools. Internships Sociology majors are placed in police departments, private investigation agencies, and governmental and private agencies serving the homeless and juvenile offenders. Honor Societies Students in the social sciences are eligible for membership in Pi Gamma Mu, the social science honor society. Students must have completed sixty-four university credits, including a minimum of twenty credits in social science course work, and have a 3.0 or higher grade point average. Awards 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. The Edward McNall Burns Scholarship Award is given annually to a qualified student majoring in anthropology, sociology, or political science. The George S. Hart Memorial Award for Academic Excellence is given annually to the graduating senior with the highest GP A in the Social Sciences Area.

The program's objectives are 1) to provide the student with generalist skills for entry into beginning social work practice in a variety of agencies and human service settings; 2) to prepare students for entrance into graduate programs of social work and related professional schools; 3) to contribute to the general college education of non-social work majors by helping students understand social welfare needs, services, and issues relevant to a modern industrial democracy; and 4) to contribute to the provision of social welfare services and to the social work profession through service, research and continuing education. The Social Work program does not gie credit for life experience or previous work experience in field practicum or professional foundation areas. The Gerontology Program is dedicated to providing the student with a broad range of academic and practical experience that will enable the graduate to function in a variety of settings, such as, administration, planning, management, and delivery of services to older persons. Working with older adults is a proj ected employment growth area. The objective of the gerontology program is to increase the number and competency of persons working with older adults, their families and their communities. The Center in the Woods provides supervision from gerontology faculty and a professional staff for a va riety of student experiences. It is one of the few senior centers in the nation that has a working relationship with an academic program in gerontology. The Aging Specialist Certificate is becoming recognized as the minimum credential of qualification in the field of aging. This Certificate in Gerontology is designed primarily for either undergraduates interested in working with older adults in relation to their undergraduate major (e.g., social work, psychology, nursing, communication disorders) or people who are currently working with or on behalf of older adults who have had practical experience in the field of aging but who have had little formal training. The Aging Specialist Certificate is 18 hours of course work in gerontology including a three-credit practicum experience. Careers Graduates of the Social Work Program are eligible for membership in the National Association of Social Workers and for advanced standing in accredited graduate social work programs. The program provides career opportunities in such areas as personal services (case management, family development, counseling), protective services, mental health, public welfare, and informational/ advising services (education, crisis centers, consulting and public interest advocacy).

Effectively modify instructional strategies o r materials to provide fo r the unique needs of students m anifesting learning handicaps Careers T he fie ld of special educatio n, both within Pen nsylvania and nationally, continues to grow, providing excellent p rofessional career oppo rtunities. Recent federal legislation has m andated new services fo r handicapped youngsters and provided increased fu nding. T he impetus should be toward an increased growth rate in special education programs, particularly for child ren with severe and/or profound handicaps. Graduates of the Special Education program are qualified to assume several professional roles including: special education classroom teacher, reso urce room teacher, ho mebo und instruction teacher, hospital teacher, and a variety of roles in sheltered workshops and community-living arrangements for handicapped adults. The growth of mainstream/incl usion programs fo r mildly handicapped youngsters has been rap id. It has been recognized that children with mild forms of handicaps ty pically attain higher levels of achievement in the regular class environment than in the special self-co ntained classroom. These children do, however, need special help and remedial instruction in some areas of the curriculum . Thus, the resource room is beco ming an increasingly co mmon means of addressing the needs of children w hile 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. T eachers 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-dam aged (nursery-twelfth grade), and resource roo m teacher.

Theatre and Dance Purpose As one of the performing arts, theatre is a means of self-expression and social communication. 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 facu lty 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' H all of Fame. Membership in Alpha Psi Omega, the national honorary Theatre fraternity, is achieved through active participation in theatre productions. Careers Graduates of California University work throughout the country in professional and semi-professional theatre, in fi lm and television, in teaching, community and regional theatre, recreation, and in rehabilitation theatre, public relations, interior decoration, costuming, and arts management.

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 future 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 fo r 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. Special Activities In addition to course wo rk, Women's Studies students may wish to participate in a variety of special activities. The Program sponsors guest speakers, luncheon discussion sessions, and other special events, as well as publishing its own newsletter, The Tide, which encourages student involvement.
