As a state-owned institution, it accepts the duty of putting the principle of equal opportunity into practice. As an institution of higher education, it accepts the responsibility of teaching that principle by its policies and actions. Consequently, California University of Pennsylvania commits itself, ethically and legally, to the equal opportunity policies of a system of fair and open recruitment and acceptance of students regardless of sex, race, color, religious creed, lifestyle, affectional or sexual preference, disability, present or previous military service, ancestry, national origin, union and political affiliation, and age. Nevertheless, mindful of the reality of past injustices and present societal needs, the university reserves the right to employ a limited use of racial, ethnic, and sexual criteria to accomplish remedial objectives when necessary. Once students are admitted to California University of Pennsylvania, the same rights, privileges, programs and activities are made available to all without regard to arbitrary and irrelevant criteria. Financial aids, especially scholarships, guaranteed loans, grants, work study programs, assistantships, and internships, are provided on an equal opportunity basis. Likewise, advisors and counselors are available to all students. Special programs have been established to meet the needs of students and are available on a fust-come, firstserved basis to all students without regard to race, national origin, or religion. However, in the case of living arrangements, sex and disability distinctions are made to better serve and accommodate all students. Finally, in accordance with recent federal and state legislation, architectural and programmatic modifications have been implemented to ensun( that no qualified student is prevented from succeeding at California University of Pennsylvania because of disability. In addition, California University of Pennsylvania engages in an open and equitable system of recruitment and employment of faculty and staff candidates. It practices a non-discriminatory system of compensation, including pay, promotion, tenure, transfer, education, training and other benefits of employment. California University of Pennsylvania prides itself on having created a workplace and learning environment free from discrimination and harrassment. If situations or co,nditions to the contrary occur, an immediate and appropriate redress will take place.

Since 1852, thousands of students have seized the opportunity we offer: to improve not only their lives but the lives of the people they have touched. Our alumni are practicing professionals in health care, education, law, public service, business, environmental studies, and government, and the list doesn't stop there. From South American rain forests to the Hubble space telescope, California University graduates are using their education to continue the never-ending search for knowledge. In all walks of life, California University graduates are helping to make the world a better place. At California, we place great emphasis on people. We have a dedicated faculty, a caring and concerned staff, excellent facilities, an exemplary educational program, and a variety of extra-curricular activities, all dedicated to helping students get the most from their college experience. Leaming is not confined to the classroom. The university experience should be a broad one. Personal growth is proportionate to the wise use of the many resources available. So we encourage our students to become involved in the total life of the university and its surrounding communities. We also foster a family atmosphere. We are small enough to care about individuals, and yet large enough to be able to offer a variety of programs. You should take time to read through this catalog. It can tell you much about the university and its programs. You and your family are invited to make a personal visit any time.

The College of Liberal Arts Through traditional courses of study, the College of Liberal Arts attempts to teach reflective thinking that enables graduates to make responsible social decisions in a multicultural world. The Liberal Arts programs are designed to present students with options that call upon precise knowledge, cultural perspectives, aesthetics, and personal and professional communication skills in order to create informed, as well as technologically literate, graduates. The Eberly College of Science and Technology The Eberly College of Science and Technology 's goal is to make available an array of scientific, technological and career-oriented programs which prepare students for the increasingly complex demands of the industrial, business and health fields as well as for further study in graduate and professional schools.

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 38 buildings situated on 84 acres. An additional 104-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. 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 activities in the Laurel Mountains. In addition to cultural activities provided on campus, the student has easy access to the Pittsburgh metropolitan area, located only 30 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 excitements and attractions of a metropolitan area. The institution that is now California University of Pennsylvania began as an academy more than 140 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. 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 some residents of the community. 1864: A ten-acre plot for the Academy, still the center of the university, was purchased. 1865 : The Academy obtained a charter as a Normal School for its district and became a teacher-preparatory institution. I 874: 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-yeardegree-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. I 959: 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 M.A. and M .S. 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 (19691977), the college developed a special mission in Science and Technology, to complement its traditional roles in Liberal Arts and Education. 1983: On July 1, 1983, the college became a part of the State System of Higher Education and changed its name to California University of Pennsylvania. Under the leadership of President John P. Watkins (1977-1992), the College of _ Science and Technology became fully operational, offering programs in such varied areas as mathematics and computer science, industrial management, nursing, energy technology, robotics, and electrical engineering technology. 1992: Angelo Armenti Jr. appointed president of California University. 1996: College of Science and Technology renamed Eberly College of Science and Technology in honor of the Eberly Foundation for its philanthropic generosity. 1997: Cal U Southpointe Center in the Southpointe Technol- ~ ogy Center in Canonsburg, PA, opened in January, offering a variety of courses and programs. Ground broken for the new Eberly Science and Technology Center -a state-of-the-art ~ facility for the study of science and technology scheduled to t,'!'j open during I 998-99 academic year. ~ .Z := 00.

This agreement applies to transferability of credits from Middle States or other regionally accredited two-year and junior colleges. The details of this agreement are: 1. Since completion of an associate degree demonstrates a student's motivation to complete a baccalaureate degree, preference for admission will be given to applicants who have completed the associate degree. 2. A transfer student who has completed a two-year degree program should normally expect to complete a baccalaureate program in two additional years. In certain speci alized programs of the receiving institution, however, a longer period may be necessary for majors in these programs. 3. The D grade obtained by two-year college students is treated by the senior institution in the same manner as the senior institution treats the Ds of its indigenous students. Pl acement of the D grade on the program distribution sheet may vary from program to program. 4. Secondary school transcripts as well as test scores are considered as guidance tool s and not determinants of transfer to the four-year institution . The awarding of the associate degree is considered to have satisfied the high school graduation requirement. Veterans: Course Credit for Military Service Veterans may be awarded credit for their military training and military schools. All veterans, reservi sts, and National Guard members who have been honorably discharged (or honorably discharged from active duty) may be eligible for credits. Credits are awarded primaril y in the category of Free Electives. Each veteran or reservist seeking such an award must submit a copy of DD 214 to the Director of Veterans Affairs. Army veterans who entered the army after October 1, 1981 , should submit an A.A.R.T.S . transcript; Air Force veterans who served after 1974 should submit a C.C.A.F. transcript. Evaluations based on the latest American Council of Education Guides will be forwarded to the appropriate Dean for approval. > ~ ~ ~ 00. 00. ~ 0 z 00.

Undergraduate Catalog 1998-99 15 Financial Aid Mission Statement The primary mission of the Financial Aid Office at California University of Pennsylvania is to provide fi nancial 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 8:004:00, Monday through Friday. Appointments are encouraged but a daily on-call counselor is available to assist walk-ins. Students can contact the Financial Aid Office by calling (724) 938-4415 or by Fax at (724) 938-4551. In addition, a 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. Application and Awarding Information Application Process In order to qualify for assistance from federal, state, and university financial aid programs, a student must complete a paper or electronic version (see "Electronic FAFSA Options" section for information on filing electronically) of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and forward it to the Federal processor as soon as possible after January 1 of each year. Prior year aid recipients will receive a renewal version of the FAFSA which can be used to apply for financial aid for the new award year. Students who file their FAFSA (paper or electronic version) by April 1 will receive priority consideration for all Federal financial aid programs available at California University. Students can obtain a paper version of the FAFSA form from the Financial Aid Office (FAO), high school guidance counselor office, or local college/university. 16 California University Of Pennsylvania Electronic FAFSA Options The Department of Education has established a customer service line for FAFSA Express users. Students needing assistance with hardware, software, installation, transmission, or if they want to check the status of their pending application, should contact the FAFSA Express Customer Service Line at 1-800-801-0576. Internet Application 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 1998-99 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) directly to the federal processor. The "FAFSA on the Web" site uses the (domestic) version of Netscape Navigator 3.0 or higher, which keeps a student's information private and secure during transmission over the Internet. Students wanting to complete their 1998-99 FAFSA via the web can do so after January 1, 1998. After transmitting an application over the Internet, students mail their signed signature page to the Department. The CPS will determine their eligibility for financial aid within 72 hours after receiving the completed application. FAFSA on the Web has a customer service line (1-800-801-0576) where users may check the status of their applications and receive assistance with hardware, software, and transmission. The FAFSA on the Web site is located at: www.fafsa.ed.gov. FAFSA on the Web Benefits: • FAFSA on the Web is free . • • • • • • Students can save their application information to diskette so that it can be completed and transmitted at a later time. FAFSA on the Web doesn ' t require software to be installed, so it takes less time before students can actually use the application. Students can access the FAFSA on the Web page from anywhere, including school or home, making it more convenient to complete the application. FAFSA on the Web automatically edits applicant answers before transmitting, resulting in better information and 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. Financial Aid Formula/Eligibility When a student applies for Federal student aid, the information reported on the FAFSA 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. Remember, this formula only measures a family's ability, not willingness, to contribute toward the student's educational costs. The basic elements included in determining the EFC are: • contribution from the parents' income • contribution from the student's income • contribution from the parents' assets • contribution from the student's assets In addition to these basic elements, household size, number of students in college, and the age of the oldest parent are also reflected in the calculation of the student's EFC. If your EFC is below a certain amount, you will qualify for a Federal Pell Grant. To determine eligibility for other Federal aid, a student's EFC is used in the following equation: Cost of Attendance - Expected Family Contribution= Financial Need The EFC is then deducted from the total cost of attendance. The cost of attendance includes both direct costs and indirect costs (see "Elements in the Cost of Attendance" for additional information). The difference between the total cost and how much the student and family is expected to contribute is the difference in the student's eligibility for need-based financial aid. Most Federal aid is awarded on the basis of financial need. However, regardless of the student's financial need, all students will qualify for some type of Federal · financial aid. Elements in the Cost of Attendance 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 (fulltime or part-time), and residency status (in-state or out-ofstate). 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 financial aid 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. 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 impact the total expenses within this budget element. The university determines the indirect/living costs for each student based on data collected from students, local bookstores, and local landlords. This data is analyzed to arrive at "average" expenses incurred by most students. Awarding Process The following steps are involved in the need analysis and awarding process: 1. Within two to three weeks after the student submits the completed FAFSA form (paper or electronic version) to the Federal processor, the Department of Education will send a Student Aid Report (SAR) to the student. This document includes the student's Expected Family Contribution (EFC). This is the amount the student's family is expected to contribute toward the student's educational costs. 2. The Financial Aid Office (FAO) will electronically receive the information contained on the student's SAR in order to determine the student's eligibility for financial aid. 3. Once the FAO has received the FAFSA results and other requested information, e.g. , tax returns, verification material , a student's eligibility for financial aid assistance will then be determined. 4. The FAO will then mail a financial aid award letter to the student. The award letter will indicate the student's eligibility for one or more financial aid programs. Typically, the awarding process begins in early April of each year. * Reapply Each Year Financial aid is not renewed automatically. Federal requirements and/or the student's and/or family's financial situation may change, therefore, students . must reapply each year. Revisions, Cancellations, Repayments California University reserves the right to review, revise, or cancel a financial aid award at any time due to: ( I) a change in the student's enrollment status at California University ~ and/or a change in the student's financial aid eligibility; (2) ~ failure to comply with policies, procedures, or laws pertaining to these programs; and (3) the availability of federal, state, and university funds for each program. Students will be notified of any revision and/or cancellation. Students who (1 fail to meet the financial aid requirements may be required to ~ repay all or a portion of the assistance used during any affected semester(s). See "How Registration Affects Finan- ~ cial Aid Eligibility" for additional information regarding adjustments to financial aid awards.

Students also have the right to know how their financial need and family contributions are calculated. Students and parents are expected to provide accurate information on all application materials and may be asked to provide photocopies of their latest federal income tax returns. The Federal Government requires the Financial Aid Office to insure that financial information from all sources is accurate and truthful. When forms are used to establish eligibility for federal student aid funds, false statements or misrepresentations may subject those providing the information to a fine, imprisonment (or both) under provisions of the U.S. Criminal Code. Students also have the responsibility to notify the Financial Aid Office of any change occurring in their financial position from that which was reported on the application, e.g., eligibility for Social Security or veteran's benefits, receipt of scholarships, grants or other assistance, change in residency, etc. FINANCIAL AID PROGRAMS Federal Aid Programs Grants Federal Pell Grants are awarded to undergraduate students to assist with their educational costs. This grant is intended to be the "floor" of the financial aid package and may be combined with other forms of aid in order to meet the cost of education. The amount of a Pell Grant is determined by the student's and family's financial resources . The Federal Pell Grant Program will notify applicants of their eligibility through a Student Aid Report (SAR) mailed to their permanent address. The Pell Grant annual award ranges from $400 to $3000. 300 hours during May-August) employment opportunities are available to qualified students. Students interested in summer employment must complete a "Summer Work-Study Application". Loans Federal Perkins Loans provide low-interest loans to eligible undergraduate students who demonstrate exceptional need. The Perkins Loan award ranges from $1500 to $2500. Continued borrowing under the program from year to year depends on the availability of funds . Thi s loan bears an interest rate of five percent a year, and repayment of principle may be extended over a ten year period. The normal minimum monthly repayment is at least $30. For borrowers who received their loan after June 30, 1987, repayment of principle and interest begins nine months after students end their studies. California University of Pennsylvania awards the Joans and is responsible for collecting loan payments from borrowers in repayment. Cancellation Provisions: Borrowers becoming full-time teachers in public or other nonprofit private elementary or secondary schools with a high enrollment of students from low income families or designated teacher shortage areas, in certain fields, may cancel all of their loans. Full-time teachers of handicapped children may be eligible for complete cancellation of the loan. In addition, a borrower who becomes a full-time staff member in a preschool program of the Economic Opportunity Act (Head Start), a full-time nurse, or medical technician , in certain states, may also be eligible for cancellation of the loan (subject to federal funding approval). Borrowers serving as volunteers in the Peace Corps are eligible for cancellation of 15-20% of the total Perkins Loan obligation, depending on the length of active service in the Peace Corps plus the accrued annual interest. Most government sponsored loans, such as Stafford Loans, defer repayment during the time a person serves in the Peace Corps. Borrowers serving in the Armed Forces of the United States can have a maximum of 50 percent of the loan canceled at the rate of 12 1/2 percent a year, plus interest, for each complete year of service in an area of hostilities. Student Employment Deferment Provisions: Interest and principle payments are deferred during any period in which the borrower is carrying ~ at least 1/2 the normal academic work load at an institution ~ of higher learning, or up to three years if the borrower is on full-time active duty as a member of the Armed Forces of th.e United States, is a volunteer under the Peace Corps Act, or is a volunteer under the Economic Opportunity Act (VISTA).

File the paper or electronic version of the FAFSA form. Obtain a Stafford Loan application from a lender or the Financial Aid Office. Please Note: PHEAA Loan Division will mail a loan application to any Pennsylvania student answering ''ye3" to the question "interested in student loans" on the Renewal FAFSA or FAFSA form. Undergraduate Catalog 1998-99 23 6. Compl ete the borrower section of the application. The amount of the loan request cannot exceed the student's annual loan limit under the Stafford Loan Program (see "Stafford Loan Borrowing Chart" listed below). Please be sure that aJI questions are complete and that the student signs and dates the application. Submit the completed loan application to the lender if the loan is being processed by a Pennsylvania lender or a PHEAA-approved, non-Pennsylvania lender. If applying fo r a Stafford Loan through a non-PHEAA-approved lender, submit the application to the Financial Aid Office at Cali fo rni a University. The certification step is the most important step in the applicati on process. During thi s step the Financial Aid Offi ce determines the student's actual loan amount and type of Stafford (subsidized and/or unsubsidized) based on the student's fin ancial need. If the application is filed with a Pennsylvania lender or PHEAA-approved, nonPenn sylvani a lender, this certification process will be compl eted electronically through the Financial Aid Office's computer system . The non-PHEAA- approved loan will be certified and returned via the mail. Once the application has been certified by the Financial Aid Office, the lender will authorize the di sbursement of loan proceeds (Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) or check) at the appropriate time. First-year, first-time Stafford Loan borrowers will not receive their loan proceeds until thirty days after the first day of classes. The lender will send a "Disclosure Statement" informing the student of the amount, type, and expected di sbursement date of the loan proceeds. All first-time Stafford Loan borrowers are required to attend an "Entrance Interview " before receiving the loan proceeds. 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: fulltime, three-quarter-time, half-time, and less-than-half-time. The chart below indicates the number of credits used to determine a student's enrollment status. Enrollment Status Number of Credits Registered Full Time 12 c redits o r more (unde rgraduate) 9 cre dits o r mo re (g raduate) Three-Quarter Time 9 to I I c red its (undergraduate) 7 to 8 credits (gradu ate) Half-Time 6 to 8 credits (undergraduate) 5 to 6 credi ts (gradu ate) Less-Than-Half-Time Less than 6 credits (unde rgraduate ) Less than 5 credits (graduate) Listed below is an eligibility chart that defines the credit hour requirements for each of the fi ve 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. Enrollment Status Eligible for Award % of Maximum Award Full Time Yes 100% 3/4 Time Yes 75 % Crediting Financial Aid to a Student's Account 1/2 Time Yes 50% In general, once a student's financial aid award(s) has been fi nali zed (all requested form s received, verification compl eted, enrollment verified, and default status reviewed), the student's semester award amount(s) (except Federal Stafford Loans and Federal College Work-Study) will be credited to hi s/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 appropri ate authori zation (endorsement of loan check or a signed EFT authorization form) has been secured and all other eli gibility criteria have been satisfied . Federal College Work-Study funds are di sbursed bi-weekly to the student in the fo rm 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 first-year, first-time borrowers until thirty days after the first day of classes. Less than 1/2 Time Yes Varies Full Time Yes 100% 1/2 or 3/4 Time Yes.

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 (direct costs) will be di sbursed to the student in the form of a refund check to cover indirect educational costs such as books and supplies, off campus housing and transportation. These refunds will be available starting with the second week of the semester for Stafford Loan refunds and all other student financi al aid refunds if the student has satisfied the eligibility requirements for each award. Please Note: Even though refund checks will be available starting the first week of the semester, a financial aid refund check could be delayed if one or more of the following statements is true: 1) student is a first year, first time borrower (Stafford refund only); 2) student's f ederal and/or state aid has not been finalized; 3) student 's loan application was filed late; and/or 4) the loan application or the "Free Application for Federal Student Aid" (FAFSA) is delayed at the processor (federal student aid prog ram, guarantee agency/lender) due to missing or incorrect information. Financial Planning Students planning to attend California University of Pennsy lvania 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. Maintaining Financial Aid Eligibility Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy Purpose of Policy Federal regulations require all institutions that administer Title IV student assistance programs to monitor the academic progress toward a degree or certificate of those students applying for or receiving assistance from those programs. All California University students applying for Title IV federal assistance must meet the standards stated in thi s policy, regardless of whether or not they prev iously received aid. The financial aid programs governed by these regulations are as follow s: Federal Pell Grant Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) Federal Perkins Loan Federal Stafford Loan (Subsidized/Unsubsidized) Federal Plus Loan Federal Work-Study Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards include three elements: 1) maximum time frame within which a degree or certificate must be granted, (2) minimum credit hours earned per academic year, and (3) minimum cumul ative grade point average (g.p.a.). Review Period The review of a student's "Satisfactory Academic Progress" (SAP) standing occurs annually at the end of the spri ng semester. A student's SAP standing will be based on hi s/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, threequarter time, or half-time). For a student to remain eli gible for federal aid, the student must conform to the follow ing time frame for completion of a Baccalaureate Degree: Associate Degree Enrollment Status * Number of Elit:ible Semesters Full-time (12 or more credits) 6 semesters 9 semesters Three-quarter time (9 to 11 credits) Half-time (6 to 8 credits) 12 semesters Bachelor Degree Enrollment Status * Number of Elit:ible Semesters Full-time (12 or more credits) 11 semesters Three-quarter time (9 to 11 credits) 16 semesters Half-time (6 to 8 credits) 22 semesters Minimum Earned Credit Hours In order to monitor a student's progress toward compl eting 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 following earned credit hour standards based on hi s/her enrollment status: 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 * Assumes a student's enrollment status (full-time, threequarter 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. Undergraduate Catal og I 998-99 25 Minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average Each semester the university reviews the "grade point average" (g.p.a.) of each student in order to determine whether the student is maintaining "good academic standing". The university has established minimum grade point averages that students must maintain in order to achieve "good academic standing". Listed below are the minimum grade point averages for each class level: Freshman 1.75 Sophomore 1.85* Junior Senior 1.95 2.00 *Students pursuing an Associate Degree must have a 2.0 g.p.a. in orde r to graduate. A student who fails to meet minimum academic standards (required g.p.a), as defined by the university, will be placed on academic probation status for one semester. Students are eligible to receive financial aid during the probation semester(s). At the end of the probation semester(s), a student must: (]) achieve the required minimum grade point average (student is removed from academic probation); or (2) achieve at least a 2.0 grade p oint average during the probationary semester ( if this requirement is met, the student will continue on academic probation). A student who is unsuccessful in attaining either one of these levels of academic performance will be academically dismissed from the university. Students who are academically dismissed are considered ineligible for Title IV federal aid. However, a student who is academically dismissed and is approved for re-admi ssion (through the university's PASS Program only) will be placed on ''financial aid probation." During financial aid probation a student is eligible to receive Title IV federal aid (see "Financial Aid Probation" section for additional info rmation). Special Grades I (Incomplete): An incomplete grade does not earn credit or in fl uence 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 credit(s) toward graduation or toward satisfying the credit requirements of the SAP Policy. P (Pass): If thi s grade is awarded, the credits apply toward graduation and toward sati sfying the minimum earned credit hour standards, but will not impact a student's grade point average. 26 Califo rnia University Of Pennsylvania Repeated Courses: For a course that has been repeated, only the last grade earned is used in calculating the grade point average and the credits are awarded onl y fo r the semester in which it was repeated. However, 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, mil itary training and/or service school experience credits can be counted in the total credit hours earned by a student for satisfying the minimum credit hour progression requirement. However, the military training and/ or service schoo l experience will only be used in satisfying the minimum earned credit hour requirement during the student's firs t year of attendance at Califo rnia University. PHEAA Grant Progress Standard Even though the PHEAA Grant is a non-Title IV aid program, the satisfactory academic progress requirements for thi s program are si_milar to the federal policy. For students to remain eligible fo r a PHEAA Grant, he/she must meet the following minimum earned credit hour standard after every two semesters of state grant assistance: Enrollment Status* Total Earned Credits Per Year Ftill-time (12 or more credits) 24 credits Part-time (6 to 11 credits) 12 credits For PHEAA Grant purposes, the repeated course(s) can be counted only once in meeting the 12 or 24 credit hour test. Please Note: A student can only receive a maximum of 8 full-time or 16 part-time semesters of PHEAA Grant assistance. Financial Aid Probation If a student fa il s to achieve the Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards during the review period as outlined in thi s 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 li sted below. Students will remain on financial aid probation for the next award year and will be eligible to receive federal Title IV fi nancial 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 fail s to achieve the minimum earned credit hour standard and/or the minimum grade point average upon the conclusion of a student's fi nancial aid probationary period, the student will be placed on fin ancial 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 that 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 credithour 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 .

Any student who withdraws from the university may be eligible for a refund of university charges, according to the published refund policy. However, a student who receives financial aid and withdraws from the university may be required to refund all or a portion of the financial aid awards to the appropriate financial aid program(s). University Refund Policies Official withdrawal from the university may entitle the student to a refund of university fees .

These programs are the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Federal Perkins Loan Program, and the Federal Work-Study Program. College Work-Study: College Work-Study is a part-time job for undergraduate students. This is often referred to as the Federal Work-Study Program. Commuter Student: A student who resides at home and commutes to school daily. Cost of Attendance: The Cost of Attendance (COA), also known as the cost of education or "budget", is the total amount used to calculate a student's aid eligibility. This amount includes tuition and fees, room and board, allowances for books and supplies, transportation, and personal and incidental expenses. Custodial Parent: In the event a student's parents are separated or divorced, the custodial parent is the one who is providing more than 1/2 of the student's support. If both parents provide equal support, then the Custodial Parent is designated by the one with whom the student lived the most during the past 12 months .

Students follow the requirements and provisions of the catalog that is in effect at the time of their initial enrollment. Students who have interrupted their education for more than one year are subject to the provisions of the catalog which is current at the time of their readmission to the university. The university reserves the right to change policies, curriculum requirements, and other provisions as needed. Faculty advisors are available to assist students in planning their academic program, but students have the responsibility for meeting all requirements for their degrees. Students are urged to take advantage of the advisory and consultation services available at the university. They should feel free to consult with professors, academic advisors, department chairpersons, the deans, and the Provost. All of these university representatives maintain regular office hours for student consultations. Attendance Regular class attendance is a prerequisite to successful class perfonnance. University policy permits class absence for cause but places an obligation for successful completion of course work on the student. There is no single, university-wide policy on class attendance or on cuts; but professors may establish their particular policies on absences, assess reasonable penalties if students do not observe these policies, and treat unexplained absences as unexcused absences. The student must, in all cases, arrange to make up examinations or other work missed because of absence, according to tenns and a schedule agreeable to the professors. It is the student's responsibility to infonn professors of the cause of any absence, if possible, in advance. Students should notify their college Dean of lengthy absences due to illness or other causes, and appropriate documentation may be required in such cases. The Dean will in tum 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. Semester System California University operates on a semester system with Fall and Spring semesters of approximately 15 weeks. In addition, there is a Summer term which typically includes a 10 week session and two five week sessions which run from June to August in addition to special sessions in May and August. Course Numbering System Courses numbered 100 to 499 are undergraduate courses. Courses numbered 500 may be taken for undergraduate or graduate credit, and courses numbered 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 numbered in the following way : 100-199 Freshman level 200-299 Sophomore level 300-399 Junior level 400-499 Senior level Generally, courses whose numbers end in 9 (such as 209 and 459) consist of independent study or internship and registering for such courses typically requires special permission. Credits Credit for course work is recorded in credit hours . For most courses, one credit hour represents one class meeting per week. For laboratory classes, the ratio may differ somewhat from one department to another, but usually two or three hours of laboratory work are worth one credit hour. A full-time student is one who is taking twelve or more credits. A student taking fewer than twelve credits is considered a part-time student. Students expecting to progress from one class to the next on an annual basis and graduate in four years should complete an average of 32 credits per year, or 16 credits per semester. The Health Center does not issue medical excuses. Under certain circumstances the Health Center will notify professors about students' absences (or other failure to fulfill academic obligations) due to medical conditions; on the basis of this notification, individual professors in tum will determine whether or not to excuse the absences. The temporary grade of Incomplete is not automatically awarded even if excused or explained absences have prevented completion of required work by the end of the semester. Undergraduate Catalog 1998-99 33 00 ~ ~ u ~ ~ 0 ~ u ~ ~ ~ Q < u < Grading System California University uses the following grading system for all courses: Interpretation Grade Quality Points per Credit Hour 4 Superior Attainment A Above Average B 3 Average C 2 Below Average D 1 F Failure 0 AU Not calculated Audit I Not calculated Incomplete Incomplete Failure IF 0 p Not calculated Passing w Official Withdrawal Not calculated WP Not calculated Withdraw Passing WF Withdraw Failing 0 wx Not calculated Administrative Withdrawal Not calculated Unofficial Withdrawal uw Quality Point or Grade Point Average To calculate a quality point average (QPA) or grade point average (GPA) divide the total number of quality points earned in regular courses at this university by the total number of credit hours attempted. For example, if a student has attempted a total of 60 credits, with 12 credits worth of A (= 48 quality points), 24 of B (= 72), 15 of C (= 30), 6 of D (= 6), and 3 of F (= 0), that student would have a total of 156 grade points, or a QPNGPA of 2.60. In computing QPNGPA, the following courses are not counted: courses 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. AJthough developmental courses do not count towards graduation, the credits earned in them are used to determine a student's QPA. Appealing a Grade or Other Academic Decision In appealing a grade, a student should first contact the professor who issued that grade to discuss the reason for the grade. If the student is not satisfied with the professor's explanation, the student should then contact the professor's department chairperson. This latter contact must be in writing and must be filed with the chairperson within thirty university calendar days after the beginning of the subsequent fall or spring semester following the term in which the grade in question was given. If accord is not reached at the chairperson level, the student may then appeal to the college dean . The final source of appeal is the Provost. This final step should be taken only if there is no possibi lity for a resolution at an earlier stage, and only if the student is convinced that arbitrary and/or capricious standards were applied. In the case of other academic decisions, the student should follow the same appeal procedure insofar as possible. In matters relating to student conduct and discipline, the Vice President for Student Development has authority to review appeals: see the section on the General Code of Conduct and the Student Judicial System in this catalog. Cheating and Plagiarism Truth and honesty are the subjects and the necessary prerequi sites for all education. Consequently, students who attempt to improve their grades or class standing by cheating on examinations or plagiarism on papers may be penalized by disciplinary action ranging from a verbal reprimand to a failing grade in the course. If the situation appears to merit a more severe penalty, the professor may refer the matter to the appropriate dean or to the Provost, with a req uest for formal di sciplinary action, which may result in suspension or expulsion from the university. Good Academic Standing Students who achieve the minimum Quality Point Average (QPA) or Grade Point Average (GPA) for their class rank are in good academic standing. Class Rank Freshman Sophomore Junior Senior Total Number of Credits Earned 1-31 32-63 64-95 96 or more Minimum GradePoint Average 1.75 1.85 1.95 2.00 AH earned credits including transfer credits and other advanced standing credits that have been officially accepted are counted in determining a student's class rank. All attempted credits at California University are used in determining a student's GPA. 34 California University Of Pennsylvania Students who do not achieve the minimum GPA for their class rank will be subject to Academic Probation or Academic Dismissal. Satisfactory Academic Progress is also required for continued eligibility for financial aid. Academic Probation A student whose total number of credits attempted has reached or exceeded twelve and whose overall GPA is below the specified minimum for his or her class rank will be placed on Academic Probation. Before registering for a new term , students on Academic Probation must have their schedules approved by the Associate Provost for Student Retention and must agree to satisfy additional requirements during the probationary semester. A student on Academic Probation who attains the minimum overall GPA for his or her class rank and satisfies other requirements will be removed from Academic Probation. A student on Academic Probation who attains a 2.00 GPA during the probationary semester and sati sfies other requirements, but fail s to attain the minimum overall GPA for his or her class rank will be permitted to return to the university on Continuing Academic Probation . A student on Academic Probation who does not attain the overall GPA for his or her class rank and does not achieve a 2.00 GPA 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 which has been missed or is incomplete because of reasons acceptable to the professor. However, in all cases, the professor has the option of submitting a final grade based on work completed and may refuse to 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 Registrar's Office. The student, however, is responsible for contacting the professor regarding arrangements which 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. Grade Reports At the end of each semester and summer session, grade reports are mailed to students at their permanent home address . For thi s reason, all students should be certain the Registrar's 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, Room 103 in the Administration Building. Each transcript costs $3 .00, 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 Registrar's 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. Undergraduate Catalog 1998-99 35 00 ~ ~ u ~ ~ 0 ~ u ~ ~ ~ ~ < U < 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 financi al obligations to the university have not been met in full . Registration obtain written permi ion from their advisor and the Dean of their college. Only in exceptional circumstances will a student be allowed to register for more than 2 1 credits. Additional tuition and fees are charged for all credits in excess of 18. During the Summer terms, students may register for 6 credits in any one session or 18 credits fo r the summer without special permi ssion. Matri culating students wishing to register for additi onal credits during the Summer terms must obtain written permission from the Dean of their college, and nonmatricul ati ng students wishing to register for additional credits mu st obtai n 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. 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 mu st meet the graduation or completion requirements for his or her declared major or program. An individual who enrolls for cl asses but is not seeking a degree or credit certificate from California University is considered a nonmatriculated student. A nonmatriculati ng student wishing to matricul ate into a degree or credit certificate program must sati sfy admission requirements for that program. Registration Procedures Registration for an upcoming semester may be completed during the registration periods identified in the Schedule of Classes published each semester. Thi s pub Iication contains specific information and instructions regarding these registration periods. Registration includes academic advising, scheduling courses, and payment of tuition and fees. Prior to scheduling classes, each student should meet with his or her academic advisor to di scuss 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. Admission to a Closed Section A student seeki ng admis ion to a closed section should obtain a schedule adju stment form and consult with the instructor or chairperson of the department which offers the course. Admission to a closed section requires the signature of the instructor or department chair and the Dean of the college which offers the course. Repeating a Course A student may repeat a course previously taken at California University. In uch cases, onl y 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 thi s policy. Auditing 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 li sted on the student's transcript without affecting the QPA. Once a course is registered for audit, it cannot be converted back to a credit course. Students may initi ate the following schedule: 15 week sess ion 5 week ession 10 week session an audit of a course according to before the end of the first 6 weeks before the end of the first 2 weeks before the end of the first 4 weeks Audit courses are billed at the same rate as courses taken for credit. Audit form are avail able in the Academic Records Office, Room 103 of the Administration Building. Credit Overload Credit By Examination/Course Challenges During the Fall and Spring semesters, full-time students may register for 18 credits without special permi ssion. Students wishing to register for 19 or more credits must Students may earn credit for a course by passing an exami nation rather than taking the course. In order to do so, the student must obtain pennission from the chairperson of the department that offers the course. The student mu st 36 California University Of Pennsylvania register for the course and pay tuition and fees for the course. Once a student registers to challenge a course, it cannot be converted back to a regular course. Students may initiate . the following schedule: 15 week session 5 week session IO week session 6. to challenge a course according to before the end of the first 6 weeks before the end of the first 2 weeks before the end of 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 QPA; however, a failing grade will lower the QPA. Earned credits will count towards graduation. Ceasing to attend class does not constitute official withdrawal! Students must officially drop from a course. Leaving a course without officially dropping it may result in the assignment of an F grade by the professor. If the professor does not assign a grade, the designation of UW (unauthorized withdrawal) will be assigned by the Registrar. Withdrawal from the University A student who decides to withdraw from the university during any academic term , regardless of the reason, must contact the Registrar's Office immediately. All withdrawals are governed by the following regulations: Course challenge forms may be obtained in the Academic Records Office, Room 103 of the Administration Building. 1. Schedule Adjustments (Add/Drop) An honorable dismissal is granted to a student who withdraws from the university in the official manner, has met all financial obligations to the university, and has been properly cleared by the Registrar. 2. If the student withdraws officially during the first six weeks of a semester, a W grade is recorded for each course scheduled. A W grade carries no academic penalty and is not counted in the student's QPA. For an official withdrawal from a five-week session, W grades will be recorded during the first two weeks only. 3. After the sixth week of the semester, a student who makes an official withdrawal receives WP or WF grades in all courses scheduled. Professors assign A, B, C, D, or F grades, and the Dean assigns WP grades to A, B, and C, and WF to D or F grades. For five-week courses the WP-WF grades are assigned after the end of the second week. 4. No student is permitted to withdraw officially from the university during the last three weeks of a semester or summer term. 5. Leaving the university without notifying the Registrar's (j Office and making an official withdrawal may result in automatic failure for all courses scheduled. It also makes~ the student ineligible for refund of tuition and fees , and _. may affect academic status and financial aid. Improper ~ withdrawals will be classified as unauthorized with~ drawal and the designation UW used for all registered ~ courses if another grade has not already been assigned (j by the professor. ~ Class schedules may be changed during the add/drop period using the schedule adjustment forms. All schedule adjustments are governed by the following regulations. I. Prior to making schedule adjustments, a student should consult with his or her academic advisor to discuss how the adjustment will affect his or her academic progress. 2. Courses may be added prior to the second class meeting during the Fall and Spring semesters and during the first day of a 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. 4. After the deadline for dropping a course without grade assignment, students who drop a course or courses will receive WP or WF grades. Each professor will assign the appropriate grade and the College Dean will translate A, B, and C grades to WP, and D and F grades to WF. 5. 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. > > 0 ~ ~ n ~ ~ 00 Undergraduate Catalog 1998-99 37 ~ Administrative Withdrawals ~ ~ The university administration has the authority to withdraw a student from the university and to revoke that student's registration at any time for the following reasons : ~ 0 1. =-u 2.

Severe psychological or health problems such that the student cannot be permitted to continue in attendance. < 6. Other reasons deemed appropriate by the proper administrative officer. Grades of WP, WF, WX are recorded for Administrative Withdrawals. The grade ofWX is not computed in the student's grade point average and therefore involves no academic penalty. The Registrar must authorize the recording of this grade. If a student registers in violation of the academic eligibility rule, the registration is declared invalid, the tuition and fees paid by the student are refunded in full, and no grades are recorded. In other cases of Administrative Withdrawal, the date of the withdrawal and the reason for the withdrawal are used to determine the grade to be recorded and the amount of tuition and fees to be assessed or cancelled. In most cases, the regular tuition and fee assessment and refund policies of the university prevail. For Administrative Withdrawals during the first six weeks of a semester or two weeks in a five-week summer session, the grade of WX is recorded for all courses on a student's schedule. No other grades, such as Incomplete, are assigned. After this period, the date of the Administrative Withdrawal and the reason for the withdrawal are considered: l. 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. 5. For health or psychological reasons, WX or - only with the approval of the affected instructor - an Incomplete may be assigned. For other reasons not covered in 1-4, grade assignments will be at the discretion of the Provost or his or her designee. 38 California University Of Pennsylvania The Registrar has the authority to antedate an administrative withdrawal if circumstances warrant such action . Disciplinary suspensions or dismissals are initiated by the appropriate authority in the Office of Student Development and written notification is sent to the Registrar, who cancels the student's registration and notifies other administrative offices and faculty members as necessary. If faculty members have reason to inquire about a specific case of Administrative Withdrawal , they should consult the Registrar or the Office of the Provost. In certain cases, the student's right to confidentiality may not permit full disclosure of the circumstances. Readmission to the University Students who wish to return to the university after an absence of three consecutive terms and are in good standing with the university must apply for readmission to the dean of the undergraduate college in which they will be enrolled following their readmission . In cases of Academic Dismissal, readmission to the university is not automatic . Students who have been dismissed for unsatisfactory academic performance will be considered for readmission only if they have satisfied the conditions for readmission that were stipulated at the time of their dismissal. Students who have been academically dismissed must apply for readmission through the Office of Student Retention. Any student who has been academically dismissed will be denied Title IV financial assistance (federal grants, loans, and student employment). Therefore, if readmitted, the student must attend without the benefit of Title IV financial aid until the required minimum GPA 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 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. College Level Equivalency Program (CLEP) The university offers the opportunity to earn undergraduate credit through the College Level Equivalency 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 appropriate tests in this area. 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 university. The CLEP program is administered by the Office of Career Planning and Placement Services and the Southpointe Center. There is a one-time fee of $25 .00 for evaluation of the CLEP results and recording the results on the student's transcripts. Transfer Credits Current 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 California University before registering for and taking such courses. Students seeking to transfer credits to California University should note the following guidelines: 1. Transfer credits are us ually determined by their equ ivalency to California University courses. 2. Only courses in which a grade of C or better is earned will transfer. 3. Credits transfer, but grades and quality points do not. Transfer credits cannot raise a student's QPA; 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 California, may transfer only as electives rather than equivalents to courses offered at California University. The university does not grant credits for Life Experience. 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 for graduate credit. They must fulfill aII requirements for entrance into Graduate School (other than the undergraduate degree or teaching certification). Undergraduate Catalog 1998-99 39 ~ U Dual Majors, Second Majors And Second Degrees ~ California University grants the following degrees: B.A.; B.S.; B.S. in Education; B.S.N; and AS. (All except the last are four-year, baccalaureate degrees.) These are referred to below as ~ degree areas. ~ 0 u ~ ~ ~ Q < u < A distinction is drawn between the following objectives and opportunities and between the means to achieve them: (l) a Dual Major; (2) a Second Major; and (3) a Second 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. l. More than One Major: (a) A Dual Major is the simultaneous pursuit of two baccalaureate majors in the same degree area. 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 only (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. 2. A Second Degree may be pursued by any student (a) who has previously earned an associate or baccalaureate degree from any regionally accredited institution (including California University) or (b) who is currently pursuing a degree at California University. The second degree must be in a different degree area from the degree already earned or being pursued. A student who is currently in a degree program at California University must apply for the second degree program through the Office of Admissions. Transfer credits from other institutions and prior credits from California University of Pennsylvania may be used to satisfy requirements for the Second Degree. A minimum of 30 credits must be taken in the Second Degree program by transfer students. A minimum of 158 credits must be accumulated whether the degrees are earned simultaneously or consecutively. All departmental , college, and university requirements for the Second Degree must be satisfied . The transcript records the Second Degree and the date of its completion. (The university will not award an associate degree to a student who holds a baccalaureate degree in the same area.) 40 California University Of Pennsylvania 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 for graduation: 1. The period during which application for graduation must be made is posted throughout campus and printed in the Schedule of Classe$ 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 from 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, MAT 098, MAT 099, 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 point average. 3. Students in all curricula must complete a minimum of thirty credits of the last sixty credits at California University of Pennsylvania. 4. An overall grade point average of 2.5 is required in the Teacher 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 major. 5. In the College of Education and Human Services, candidates in teacher education programs must complete Student Teaching. 6. 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 following 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 permission to be excused from the Commencement ceremony. An associate degree-seeking student designated as a Presidential Scholar must have a cumulative GPA of 3.25 at California and have completed 45 credits, all of which must have been taken at this university. Both full-time and part-time students may, if qualified, be named Presidential Scholars. 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 1996, one is a member of the class of 1996 regardless of the year one may have attended Commencement. Honors at Graduation Commencement Honors are awarded to students in the graduating class who have earned 64 credits at California University in a baccalaureate degree program and achieved the required QPA. Highest Honors (Summa Cum Laude) High Honors (Magna Cum Laude) Honors (Cum Laude) 3.75 to 4.0 3.50 to 3.74 3.25 to 3.49 Credits, grades, and quality points earned as part of a previously completed associate or first degree or from CLEP exams, are not calculated for commencement honors designation. Dean's List/Semester Honors Full-time students are honored by being placed on the Dean's List on the basis of grade-point average at the end of each semester as follows : Highest Honors High Honors Honors 3.75 to 4.0 3.50 to 3.74 3.25 to 3.49 Honors Convocation The university recognizes, encourages and rewards academic excellence on the part of Master's, baccalaureate, and associate degree-seeking students by naming Presidential Scholars at the annual Honors Convocation in the spring semester. This award is a unique distinction, separate and apart from Commencement Honors. A baccalaureate degree-seeking student designated as a Presidential Scholar must have a cumulative GPA of 3.25 in a baccalaureate 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).

Undergraduate Catalog 1998-99 43 Academic Organization Under the direction of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, 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. The College of Education and Human Services Teacher Education Programs California University of Pennsylvania has a long and distinguished history of preparing teachers 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 NCATE, and its requirement of the NTE, California's graduates are able to obtain a teaching certificate in every state in the U.S . The College of Education and Human Services is composed of the departments of Academic Development Services, Communication Disorders, Counselor Education & Services, Educational Stu.dies , Elementary Education/Early Childhood, Health Science and Sports Studies, Social Work and Gerontology, and Special Education. If you attend California University as a teacher education student you may enroll in any of the following majors: Comprehensive Special Education, Elementary Education (Kindergarten to Grade Six), Early Childhood Education (Nursery School to Grade Three), Technology Education, and Secondary Education. The Secondary Education curriculum provides an opportunity to major in Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Earth Teacher education programs are offered through the Science, General Science, or Environmental Education), departments of Educational Studies, Elementary Education/ English, Communication (Speech or Theatre), Mathematics, Early Childhood, Applied Engineering and Technology, and Modern Foreign Languages (Spanish, French, or German), and Special Education. The departments of Academic DevelopComprehensive Social Science. Certification in Art Education is ment Services, Health Science and Sports Studies, and Social available through a co-operative program with other area Work and Gerontology form the human services component colleges. It is also possible to have a dual major. For example, of the College. The Department of Communication Disorders some students choose a dual major in Elementary and Special offers an undergraduate program, but it does not lead to Education or Early Childhood and Special Education. For teacher certification. Certification in Communication additional information on the curricular requirements for each Disorders is offered only at the graduate level. Counselor certification program, consult the appropriate departmental Education and Services offers programs leading to graduate description in this catalog. degrees and to Elementary and Secondary Counselor certifications. In addition to professional studies courses and courses in an area of concentration, all students must complete general education courses. The College of Education & Human Services Council has adopted the following objectives for the general education portion of education programs. To develop in the prospective teacher: l . the ability to communicate with adequate skill in the areas of speaking, writing, reading and listening; 2. knowledge, attitudes, skills, and understanding in the natural sciences, the social sciences, technology, and the humanities; 3. the ability to promote better understanding and relationships among individuals and groups; and 4. to provide the prospective teacher opportunities for development of leisure time and healthful living activities. Upon completion of a Teaching Certification program, a student will receive a Bachelor of Science in Education degree and an Instructional I Certificate. All candidates for teaching certification must also take and pass the NTE. The Teaching Certificate is a license to teach in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and is valid for up to six years of teaching in Pennsylvania whenever they might occur. 44 California University Of Pennsylvania In order to convert the Instructional I Certificate into a lifetime valid Instructional II Certificate, a teacher must have three years of successful teaching experience in PA and a Master's Degree or twenty-four credits. These credits may be undergraduate, graduate, or in-service credits or any combination. The only restriction is that these credits must be taken at a four-year institution. The programs in Gerontology, Athletic Training, Communication Disorders, and Social Work lead to a Bachelor of Science degree, but not to teacher certification, although many students combine a major in Athletic Training with a teacher certification program. require this clearance prior to field experiences). 5. By the completion of a minimum of 128 credits and for graduation in a teacher education major, the student will maintain a 2.50 Q.P.A. overall and in the major, complete steps I through 4 of the admission and retention process, successfully complete student teaching, and complete all required forms and return them to the Dean's office by the posted deadline. 6. Requirements for receiving a recommendation for teacher certification. The candidate will complete steps 1 through 5 of the admission and retention process, take and pass the Principles of Leaming and Teaching and appropriate Specialty Area sections of the Praxis Series, then complete and return the required documents to the Dean's office. 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 teaching certificate. The College of Education and Human Services has established standards that all education majors must meet in order to complete the Teacher Education Program. Some of these standards are embodied in the Admission to Teacher Education Program, which must be initiated by the candidate during the semester preceding the completion of 64 credits. In order to be admitted, a student must complete the following steps: 1. By the completion of 32 credits, the student will complete 15 hours of field experience in an approved site and file a report in the departmental office, achieve a 2.50 Q.P.A., meet the entry requirements in reading, math and writing by test or course work, pass a speech and hearing test, and complete an initial admission orientation and the sign-off sheet. 2. By the completion of 64 credits, the student will achieve a 2.50 Q.P.A. overall and in the major, complete a cumulative total of 30 hours of field experience in approved sites and file reports in the departmental office, take and pass the General Knowledge and Communication Skills tests of Praxis Series of Core Battery Tests, and receive a positive recommendation from the department screening committee. (NOTE: Students who fail to meet the requirements of steps 1 and 2 may not be permitted to register for courses in their area of specialization). 3. By the completion of 96 credits, the student must receive a second positive recommendation from the department screening committee, complete a cumulative minimum of 45 hours in approved field experiences and file reports in the departmental office, and apply for student teaching. 4. By the completion of 96 credits and before student teaching, the student will maintain a 2.50 Q.P.A. overall and in the major, complete all courses required for student teaching (see department policy statement), present a portfolio which incorporates/demonstrates essential performance competencies established by the student's major department, and submit Act 34 and 151 clearance prior to student teaching (NOTE: Some departments may Transfer students will have two semesters to achieve the requirements for their step, determined by the number of credits transferred. 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. Many of those who fail as teachers or remain mediocre throughout their careers lack such experiences. A program of professional field experiences has been devised by each department. In some cases, these experiences include not only school activities but also activities in community agencies . Professional field experiences include all those contacts with children, youth, and adults (through observation, participation and teaching) that make a direct contribution to understanding the teaching-learning process. California University students are placed in clinical and field experiences, devised and supervised by faculty in their appropriate curricula, in a diversity of educational sites. Placement is first effected in the Policy Studies in American Education and Educational Psychology. The second tier of clinical experiences is included in subject-related courses. These vary depending on the curriculum. The third tier is student teaching. University students are supervised closely by a professor from California and a cooperating te~cher in the schools. Gradually, student teachers are given increased responsibility for professional assignments, so that by the completion of the experience they are prepared to assume independent classroom authority. Field-based and clinical experiences are systematically and sequentially selected to provide opportunities for education students to observe, plan, and practice in a variety of professional settings. Students participate in field-based and/or clinical experiences with culturally diverse and exceptional populations. Undergraduate Catalog 1998-99 45 Graduation in General Education Candidates who have been admitted as majors in an education program will apply for admission as a cadidate for teacher certification when 64 credits (including transfer credits) have been earned. If they have not met all requirements for candidacy, their applications will be held for two semesters to permit them to correct deficiencies. if still not approved, they may elect to transfer to another curriculum, or, if they have earned 96 credits, may obtain special permission from the Dean or designee to take 12 credits in lieu of student teaching and graduate in General Education without teacher certification. Only students who have been majors in a specific department within the College of Education may be graduated in General Education. The latter option (waiver of student teaching and teaching certification) is also available to students, who for exceptional reasons, change their plans about career teaching but wish to complete their baccalaureate programs. The student must initiate, both in writing and in person, a request to do so with the Director of Student Teaching. Such requests must be reviewed and approved by the Director of Student Teaching. If the waiver request and course credits in lieu of student teaching credits are approved, the student may earn a degree B.S . in Education without teaching certification. Student Teaching Student teaching is conducted under the supervision of the Director of Student Teaching. Students who are candidates for certification are required to earn twelve semester hours of credit in student teaching. However, student teaching is a competency based program and may continue beyond one semester. Candidates are certified to teach only if they demonstrate ability to teach effectively. Teaching competency is determined by the Director of Student Teaching, the university supervisor, and the cooperating teacher or teachers. The student teacher is also required to take a practicum while student teaching. Student teachers are not generally permitted to enroll in other courses during the student teaching experience. Student teaching is normally conducted in selected public schools located in the service area of the university. Alternative programs on an Indian reservation and overseas experiences are also available. Interested students should discuss this possibility with the Director of Student Teaching. Students are required to declare their intentions to student teach during the student teaching meeting which is held the February prior to the student teaching assignment. 46 California University Of Pennsylvania The institutional philosophy regarding student teaching is to prepare students adequately to assume their responsibilities in the teaching profession with the knowledge and skill essential to their areas of specialization. Student teaching is designed to provide a climate wherein the student may exhibit creativity and the ability to make critical judgments based upon knowledge and reason. Applications for student teaching may be secured at the Dean's Office and must be submitted in February for the next academic year. An application and information meeting will be scheduled near February 1 each year. Before students may be assigned to thi s vital part of the teacher education curriculum, 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 ; and 4. be admitted to Student Teaching. 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 and the requirements of the program of their choice before being assigned to student teaching. Student Teaching for Experienced Teachers Teachers who have had one or more years of classroom teaching experience may be permitted to complete the student teaching requirement by special arrangement after consultation with the Director of Student Teaching. Appeal Procedure for Certification Students Students appealing decisions 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 Provost. 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 No permanent certificate may 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. The College of Liberal Arts 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. 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, and the Department of Business and Economics, collectively offer a wide variety of major programs of study and minors . Each program includes a general education component and an area of concentration. 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. Students should select a major by the end of the third 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 two degree program options: the Humanities and Fine Arts Major, and the Social Sciences Major. The curriculum in each is flexible and permits interdisciplinary study. Support Services The College supports the Writing Center in Dixon Hall and the School Psychology Clinic in Morgan Leaming Research Center. The Writing Center assists any student with writing problems, while the School Psychology Clinic provides free testing in several areas. Information about what tests are offered and when they are given can be obtained at the Psychology Department Office, Room 319, LRC. The College Office in Noss 103 coordinates activities of common interest across the College. One important concern shared by the College is the need to relate classroom instruction with experiences outside the classroom that can assist the student in determining career directions, including graduate education. Accordingly, the College supports and implements field experiences in such areas as Archaeology and the Earth Sciences. Equally important are the internship opportunities offered by several departments. An internship is a regularly offered course, usually taken at an off-campus location and is under the dual supervision of an agency as well as a faculty supervisor. Internships are not job training programs, and students are not paid accordingly, although some internships provide compensation for expenses incurred by the student. Guidelines and applications for internships are to be secured from the office of the sponsoring department. The College Office provides a number of student services. Among them are the review of a student's progress toward graduation and graduation clearance; transfer credit evaluation; consideration of requests for required course substitution approval ; permission to take courses at other institutions for transfer to California University, including courses at schools outside the United States; the review of applications for readmission ; and processing changes of academic major requests. Students who have questions about College policies and procedures should contact the College Office, Noss 103. Undergraduate Catalog 1998-99 47 Z The Eberly College of Science 8 and Technology t: The Eberly College of Science and Technology includes the departments of Applied Engineering and Technology, Biological and Environmental Sciences, Business and ~ Economics, Chemistry and Physics, Mathematics and 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. ~ N Z < C, 0 u ~ ~ ~ Q < u < The objective of the degree programs of the Eberly College of Science and Technology is to prepare men and women 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 a general education component 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. The general education component for all curricula of the Eberly College of Science and Technology provides the foundation for the students' liberal education. All students, regardless of major, are required to complete this portion of their program. The number of credits in General Education varies from program to program. 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. 48 California University Of Pennsylvania General Education The General Education component of the various majors offered by the University provides the foundation for students' liberal education, and all students, regardless of major, are required to complete this portion of their program. The required general education sequence for each program of study is outlined in the appropriate departmental description. All students are expected to achieve competency in writing. In the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Education and Human Services, this includes completing ENG 101 and ENG 102. In the Eberly College of Science & Technology, this includes ENG 101 and another writing course (e.g., ENG 102, ENG 211 or ENG 2 17) depending on the student's major. Students are encouraged to complete these courses within their first few semesters. The Eberly College of Science & Technology broadens the skill area for several of its majors to include courses in mathematics and communication. In the College of Education and Human Services, teacher education students must also take Oral Communication (COM 100), General Psychology (PSY 100), and courses in Health and Aids Prevention Education. All students must complete courses in the categories of Humanities, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences. Each student should consult the requirements for his or her major regarding specific courses which may be required or recommended for these categories, the number of credits required in these categories, and the number of disciplines which must be represented in each category. In addition, most programs include a category of Free Electives which the student can complete in consultation with his or her advisor. Courses which satisfy Humanities General Education requirements include those with the following prefixes: ART, COM, ENG, FRE, GER, LIT, MUS, PHI, RUS, SPN, and THE. In the Eberly College of Science & Technology, students who select ENG or LIT courses for this category may use only general survey and literature courses, and students who select COM courses for this category may use only non-performance courses to fulfill this category. In the College of Liberal Arts, students must complete at least one course with an ART, MUS , or THE prefix in this category. Courses which satisfy Social Science General Education requirements include those with the following prefixes: ANT, ECO, GEO, HIS , POS , PSY, SOS, SOW, and SOC. In the College of Liberal Arts and in some programs in the Eberly College of Science & Technology, students must also complete at least three courses designated as writing component courses and one course designated as a laboratory component course. More information on the courses which have been so designated is available in the College of Liberal Arts office. Developmental Courses 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 to determine their levels of ability in mathematics and writing. Students who do not submit SAT scores also take a 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. ~ > ~ ~ :: ~ n 0 ~ Courses which satisfy Natural Science General Education requirements include those with the following prefixes: BIO, CHE, CSC, EAS, ENS, MAT, PHS, and PHY.

Art is a product of human creativity, a manifestation of the human spirit and meaning. The study of art 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 Art major can take ( 1) a general Art major or (2) an Art Certification program for teaching in either a primary or a secondary school. The certification program is undertaken in conjunction with area colleges since California University does not confer certification in art. Art courses are taken at California University ; the Art Education and student teaching courses are taken through Carlow College or Washington and Jefferson College. At Carlow College the student must complete Secondary Art Methods and Materials (AE 327), Elementary Art Student Teaching (AE 409), Secondary Arts Student Teaching (AE 410). AE 327 will be billed at current California University credit costs plus the usual studio fees. The student teaching courses will be billed at current rates for tuition and fees for full-time Carlow students. California University also has a similar agreement with Washington and Jefferson College. The Art program is flexible . It directs students into various areas of art, including art history, basic technique courses, and a series of 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 artists in their area of specialization, although most will need to undertake 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 BA in Art Education will provide a student with K-12 certification for teaching art in the public schools in the elementary and secondary levels. Graduates with studio art training have opportunities to work in various museum settings, in art 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 art with another discipline. Examples include medical art; the utilization of art in therapy, for persons interested in the areas of psychology and art; and the linkage of art, archaeology, and history in the recording of artifacts and in reconstructive work. Bachelor of Arts in Art Curriculum Cooperative Programs The university also has an agreement with The Art Institute of Pittsburgh which permits a graduate of the Institute's two-year program to receive sixty credit hours toward a Bachelor of Arts degree from California University. A second agreement between the schools permits California University students to take courses during their junior year at the Institute and receive up to thirty credits in transfer if they complete one year of fulltime course work there. The junior year program with the Pittsburgh Art 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 for positions in commercial art-for example, advertising, publishing and corporate communication. Students acquire knowledge and experience in preparing art and layouts for reproduction.

Bachelor of Science in Environmental Studies The Environmental Studies Program prepares students for careers in a variety of related fields and for graduate school. The major emphasis of the program is to provide students with a broad core of courses in biology and ecology, supplemented with chemistry, physics , and mathematics. A steady demand exists for such environmental scientists 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 through work leading to the Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy degrees and teach and do research at a college or university. All students have the opportunity to select from a wide range of science elective courses in order to fulfill their objectives for future employment or graduate school. Almost all courses include a laboratory or field component in which students bring theory, methodology, and instrumentation to bear on specific problems. Internships with governmental and private agencies are available to qualified applicants for academic credit. A senior independent research problems class (which limits enrollment to fewer than 14 students for more effective learning) gives students practical experience with all phases of a research problem: literature review, experimental design, data collection, analysis, interpretation and scientific writing. Some of the topics that have been examined include water pollution biology, small mammal population dynamics, plant and animal species diversity, comparisons between different types of habitats, shorebird food selection, the effects of acid mine drainage on the distribution of streamside terrestrial vegetation, and the effects of strip mining on ecological succession.

Pre-professional Biology Students in the health professions commit themselves to a lifelong process of self-education; therefore, the development of scholarly motivation, independence, and creativity are vital to professional medical competence. Acquiring an understanding of people, their societies, and their history is a valuable asset in the practice of the health professions. Consequently, a liberal education in the humanities and the arts, as well as in the social and natural sciences, provides the best professional preparation. In addition, the student should demonstrate competence and concentrated study in a curriculum or field of special interest. Although students interested in the health professions do not necessarily major in Biology, they should plan to take a significant number of biology courses. Varied program offerings make it possible to satisfy requirements for pre-medical, pre-dental, pre-veterinary, pre-podiatry, pre-pharmacy, pre-chiropractic, and other prehealth fields . Those interested should contact the Biology Department to discuss their career plans. Academic credit can be obtained for practical internship experience.

The department provides clinical services for individuals who have communication disorders. Students observe and/or assist in diagnostic evaluations and therapy programs. Their involvement includes experiences with people of all ages, ranging from pre-school to adult. The Department of Communication Disorders is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation (CAA) of the American Speech, Language and Hearing Association (ASLHA). The undergraduate program in the Department of Communication Disorders (CMD) is a preprofessional degree program. Students, therefore, should be aware that they are preparing themselves for future graduate training in the profession of Speech/Language Pathology. An Education Certification track is available at the graduate level only. Students who desire the Pennsylvania Certificate must complete certain required courses in Education, pass the National Teachers Exam , and successfully complete the graduate program in CMD . Students planning to complete the undergraduate program in CMD should maintain a grade point average (GPA) sufficient to enhance the probability that he/she will be admitted to a graduate program. The student must also understand that most graduate programs in CMD require a minimum GPA of 3.0 in order to apply and many programs, including that at California University of Pennsylvania, require a GPA higher than 3.0 to insure admission . To facilitate the attainment of a 3.0 or better GPA, the faculty in CMD have determined that students should maintain the following minimum GPAs at the indicated points in their undergraduate program: Overall CMD 2.5 2.5 End of Freshman Year (32 crs.) End of Sophomore Year (64 crs.) 2.8 2.8 End of Junior Year (96 crs.) 3.0 3.0 Graduation (128 crs.) 3.0 3.0 Students who are not achieving the above minimum standards will be counseled each semester concerning the options which are available to them: (1) make a more concerted effort to improve their level of performance, (2) consider transferring to some other program, or (3) graduating from the program with the minimum allowable GPA (2.5), but with the understanding that employment opportunities in the profession with only the B.S. degree will be extremely limited if not totally nonexistent. Every effort will be made to assist students with whatever option they choose. Objectives The objectives of this program are to: • Develop an understanding of the basic acou stical, anatomical and neurological development of normal speech, language and hearing, • Develop knowledge of the various di sorders 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 di sorders 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, • Instill the principles and practices of ethical profess ional behavior.

COMMUNICATION STUDIES Purpose Communication Studies is the discipline which focuses on human communicative behavior and its influence on our personal, professional, social and cultural lives. The faculty in Communication Studies believes that human communication is fundamental to an individual 's capacity to function as an effective and ethical participant in an information society. To that end, students should understand communication from both broad theoretical and specifically applied perspectives. Accordingly, the department offers courses and activities designed to help students deal with the demands of varied communication situations. The curriculum provides the student with an opportunity: • to understand more fully the human communication process and how it affects the ways people interact when making decisions, developing relationships, and influencing each other, and • to develop communication skills which enhance the individual person's capacity to function in communication situations at work, home, social gatherings, and in civic organizations. Programs Students majoring in Communication Studies have four academic program options: (1) The Speech Communication Option 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. (2) The Radio/Television Option 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. (3) The Public Relations Option 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. (4) The fourth option 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 programs available in Communication Studies. The minors available in the department are Public Communication, Public Relations, and Television Production. Successful completion of any of the three minor programs requires that the student complete twenty-one (21) credits. The academic programs are enhanced by co-curricular activities offered in each option area. 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 with a faculty member from Communication Studies serving as educational advisor. 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 Speech Communication Association, the national organization for communication professionals , and a one year subscription to one of its five professional journals.

To fulfill this commitment, the department offers a broad spectrum of courses, tutoring, research, and services that enable a student, with the help of an advisor, to acquire a body of knowledge and variety of skills that serve as a basis for a professional career. The department is also committed to research and to the enhancement of the human condition through cooperation with individuals, communities, departments, institutions, organizations, and government agencies. A student in geography or in the traditional earth sciences can attain his education within the department by fulfilling the requirements listed in published distribution sheets that include core courses, required electives, and related electives. The department provides its students with opportunities to work with modem technologies, software, data bases, and field methods . In addition to the traditional lecture, seminar, discussion, and laboratory courses, the department offers field courses designed to give practical experiences. The Department of Earth Science has adopted a holistic philosophy of geography and the earth sciences that lays the foundation for interdi sciplinary relationships. Traditional academic di sciplines, 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 well- rounded, well-trained individual who is ready for a professional career. Programs The department has five programs and, within those programs, nine study options. The Earth Science major has three study options: General , Meteorology, and Oceanography. There is a Geography major with three options: General, Applied, and Travel and Tourism. The Earth Science and Geography majors and options each have a common core of required courses. Finally, there are three single option majors: Geology, International Studies: Geography, and Parks and Recreation Management. The department, ·n conjunction with the College of Education and Human Services, provides a teacher certification program for those interested teaching Earth Science in secondary schools. In order to be certified to teach in Pennsylvania, students must pass the National Teachers Exam. Students interested in the latter should secure further information through the College of Education and Human Services. See also the section on General Science Certification and Comprehensive Social Studies in this catalog. All majors stress the equal importance of general education and professional development. Field experiences and internships help the student to integrate classroom activities with "real world" experiences. This planned and progressive problem-solving approach is central to the educational program. Honors The national Earth Science honor society, Sigma Gamma Epsilon, has a chapter (AZ) 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 al so available to students of high scholastic attainment in the California University Chapter of Rho Phi Lambda Fraternity. Rho Phi Lambda is 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. Thi s is the case for such professions as geologist, meteorologist, hydrologi st, climatologist, oceanographic technician, 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 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.

EDUCATIONAL STUDIES Purpose Programs The Educational Studies Department is responsible for the Secondary Education Program at the undergraduate level , the Principals Program and the Superintendents Program at the graduate level, and professional courses in the College of Education and Human Services and in the Graduate School. Secondary certification is offered in Biology, Chemistry, Communication* (with a concentration in either Speech or Theater), Comprehensive Social Studies, Earth Science, English* , Environmental Education, General Science, Mathematics, Modem Foreign Languages (French, German, and Spanish), and Physics. The curriculum for each certification program is listed in the description of the department which offers the academic area for that program. *Communication and English certifications allow teaching in both areas. 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. 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 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 department and in their academic area. All Pennsylvania teachers must pass the Praxis II examinations for certification. A grade point average of 2.5 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.

Policies and procedures regarding internships can be secured from the departmental office or faculty internship supervisor. Purpose Honor Society 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 English Language Skills (ENG 100) or Composition I (ENG IOI) 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. Furthermore, all students must take three writing component courses prior to graduation . A list of approved courses can be secured from the College of Liberal Arts. 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. Programs The English major has seven options or areas of specialization. They are the general English program; five options in the Professional Writing Program: Business and Commercial Writing, Creative Writing, Radio-Television Media, Scientific and Technical Writing and Journalism ; and, for persons who want to teach English or to teach in an allied area, secondary school certification in English, in Theater and in Communication 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 option undertaken, a student may take Awards The English Department encourages and rewards academic achievement in several ways. The Eleanore C. Hibbs Writing Award 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 the graduate for graduate work in English and American literature, English education, linguistics, library work, law, 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.

FOREIGN LANGUAGES AND CULTURES Purpose Bachelor of Arts in French Rapid political and economic changes in the world require that students not onJy understand other cultures but that they can communicate with persons in those cultures. In this sense familiarity with speaking and reading a foreign language and being aware of how persons in other countries think about the world is pragmatic. Instruction in an unfamiliar language also helps students see the world from a different perspective. Inasmuch as that occw·s, students improve self-awareness, lose a blind ethnocentrism, and gain a greater appreciation of all cultures, including their own. Curriculum Programs The department administers three programs: a liberal arts language program in German, French, and Spanish; a language certification program for students who plan to teach in one of the language areas; 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 Social Sciences for additional information on the International Studies programs). Students in these programs will develop listening, speaking, reading and writing ski lls, as well as an awareness of cultural diversity and its impact on human behavior. Language and culture are closely aligned, and a series of culture courses, taught in English, are available. These indicate how artistic expression, geography, and economic and historical development mutually influence each other. A minor in foreign languages is offered in French, German, and Spanish to provide a global component and international perspective to a liberal arts education and to prepare you for a world where cross cultural communication is vital for success.

The basic concept of athletic training involves prevention, care, treatment, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries. .,. ,. . \. .',, 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 NATABOC and for careers in athletic training. Modem athletic training rooms are located in Hamer Hall and Adamson Stadium. The cadaver anatomy laboratory is also located in Hamer Hall. The California University intercollegiate athletic program, which is a strong NCAA Division II program and a member of 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. 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. The Department also offers courses reflecting the wellness concept. Presently, it functions as a service oriented department. However, there is a certification program in Driver Education Certification. Admission to the Program The department offers a certification program for a student seeking to become qualified as a Driver Education teacher in the secondary schools. In order to fulfill the requirements of this program, the student must complete a minimum of 12 semester hours. Six of the 12 hours are required in the program (HSD 300, Introduction to Safety, and HSD 305 , Driver Education and Traffic Safety) . I .- The high incidence of injuries occurring through athletic participation has become a national concern and has created demand for individuals who have completed athletic training courses, fulfilled clinical requirements, and earned a minimum of a bachelor's degree. The same 12 hours required in the Driver Education Endorsement Program can be used as free electives in the 30-hour free elective block. For further information concerning the program, contact the chairperson of the Health Science and Sport Studies Department in Hamer Hall. There is also growing employment in sports medicine and rehabilitation clinics for athletic trainers. 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). During this semester, the student submits a letter of application to the AASC, which screens, interviews, and selects the remaining students to be admitted. Criteria for selection are a minimum of a 3.00 QPA, or a composite score of 17, minimum 100 observation hours, interview with a departmental faculty member, and completion of the freshman examination. .,, " .

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 exerci ses 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. Currently, the Honors Program annually presents the following awards: Senior Thesis Project Award and the Outstanding Honors Program Graduating Senior Award. Membership Membership in the University Honors Program is by invitation only. However, the Honors Program promotes outstanding intellectual achievement throughout the university, and undergraduate students in any program or division of the university may participate in the Honors Program. Each year, the applicati ons 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. Curriculum Courses, designated as Honors Courses, are restricted to members of the Honors Program and are offered at all class level s. 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 (3 .25) 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. Thi s program is noted for its academic quality and its opportunity, typically, to study abroad in such places as Ru ssia (1995), Austria (1996) , England (1997), and Italy (1998). Honors Program students have the opportunity to participate in the California Academic Leadership Hall concept which includes specialty housing in Johnson Hall as well as educational, social, and recreational programming. The Honors Program maintains a small , but high quality, computer fac ility in Johnson Hall reserved for the exclusive use of its students and faculty. Honors Advisory Board Professor Edward J.

Socrates, though, was esteemed to be a good philosopher because he was aware of how little he knew. In knowing this, however, he was wiser than some "authorities" and "experts" whose unreflective confidence in their beliefs was mistaken. In this tradition, philosophy became the academic 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. Curriculum Philosophy students study the historical development of theories about the nature of knowledge, reality, and values, and they learn how to assess such theories. Students develop abilities to think logically, to explore issues from different perspectives, and to present their ideas effectively in writing. Programs 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 Philosophy/Pre-Law option. This option is not required for those intending to go to law school, but it indicates courses which might be useful for students planning a career in law. Activities The Philosophy Department advises the student Philosophy Club. Thi s club gives students informal social opportunities for di scussions, debates, and lectures. The Philosophy 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 val ues 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 needs and interests.

Undergraduate Catalog 1998-99 129 PSYCHOLOGY Purpose Careers Psychology is one of the social/behavioral sciences engaged in the systematic study of behavior and experience. Psychology focuses on the study and explanation of patterns of individual behavior. The latter rests not only on mental processes but on social and physiological ones. The field of psychology seeks to understand individual behavior as an end in itself as well as use that information to assist persons to live more productive and fulfilling lives. Traditionally, psychologists have been employed in universities, schools and clinics. Today, more than ever before, they can be found working in businesses, hospitals, private practice, courtrooms, sports competitions, police departments, government agencies, private laboratories, the military and other settings. Programs The department offers two majors: General Psychology and Industrial/Organizational Psychology. Industrial/ Organizational Psychology is the research and applied specialty which is concerned with the impact of organizational dynamics upon individual decision-making. It is the major for students interested in human resource management careers. Within the General Psychology major there are options for students interested in counseling and mental health care careers, or educational, child, or developmental psychology. The department makes available to its majors a publication entitled "The Survival Manual," which states policies, procedures, course requirements, and other information of interest to majors. Awards The David W. Harnbacher Memorial Fund Scholarship Award is given annually. Applicants must be Psychology majors with a 3.0 grade point average and have completed 96 credits. Information about the award is available in the departmental office. The award is given in the Spring semester. An Outstanding Senior Award is given annually at the spring Psychology Club banquet. Honor And Professional Societies Qualified majors can join Psi Chi, the national honor society. The department also sponsors a Psychology Club which hosts guest speakers, organizes trips to conferences of professional interest, and provides career and employment information. A Bachelor of Psychology in the Industrial/Organizational area can find employment in personnel resource management. Students will be prepared to do personnel recruitment, training, testing, and supervision. Most career opportunities in psychology, however, require an advanced degree.

For this reason a solid training in psychology is an important asset for anyone interested in what may be called human resource management, the general area of personnel supervision in government, business, or industry. Psychology has contributed significantly to the research and practical application involved in recruiting, interviewing, and testing. Similarly, the areas of training, job design, and employee motivation have been heavily influenced by research done in psychology. In this area of concentration, the student takes traditional business and personnel-related courses but also sufficient courses in behavioral sciences to develop the necessary analytical skills demanded of personnel officers in any field. This area of concentration prepares students not only for further graduate work in Industrial/Organizational Psychology but for the numerous positions entailing personnel recruitment, training, testing, and supervision.

Undergraduate Catalog 1998-99 131 SOCIAL SCIENCES Purpose Common to the degree programs offered by the Department of Social Sciences 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. Anthropology is the most comprehensive 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. Political Science is the most prescribed of the discipline majors offered in the department. It limits its interests to the political aspects of human behavior, both national and international, including the study of power and organizations. Pre-law and Public Administration are two optional areas of study. Sociology is the systematic study of all features of group life, beginning with the family and ending with global 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. Criminal Justice is a cooperative program between the Community College of Beaver County and California University of Pennsylvania. Students interested in obtaining this degree must contact the Department of Social Science Office and be approved by the chairperson for admittance to the program. Programs Anthropology, Social Science and Sociology are majors without optional specializations. Political Science is a major with three options: General Political Science, Public Administration, and Pre-Law. The Public Administration option is an interdisciplinary field of study with courses offered through the programs in Business and Economics, as well as Political Science. Under the International Studies Program, Political Science advises the International Studies: Political Science option. This course of study is interdisciplinary. Finally, 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. Field experiences are available in archaeology. An archaeology field school runs during the summer school session. Students participate in the excavation of a site. Internships An internship js a form of field experience. Anthropol. ogy students do internships-at the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh and various historical sites, such as Bushy Run and the Fort Necessity Historical Park. Political Science students are placed in governmental agencies, law firms and offices of public administrators and elected officials where they can observe and practice what they have learned in the classroom. Sociology majors are placed in police departments, private investigation agencies, and governmental and private agencies serving the homeless and juvenile offenders. Honor Societies 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. Students in the social sc.iences·are eligible for membership in Pi Gamma Mu, the soc_ia1 science honor society. Students must have completed sixty-four unive~sity 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 successfull y completed two courses in Anthropology. The Edward McNall Bums Scholarship Award is given annually to any individual majoring in anthropology, sociology, and political science. Faculty Associate Professor Walter A.

Careers Students with an undergraduate degree can secure work in entry level social service and personnel resource areas. Career opportunities, however, increase with the attainment of graduate course work and degrees. The social sciences as a whole prepare students to enter careers in law, public administration, the ministry, personnel resource management, education, social service professions and law enforcement.

Undergraduate Catalog 1998-99 137 SPECIAL EDUCATION Purpose Bachelor of Science in Education: Mentally/Physically Handicapped Education The Department of Special Education, accredited by the American Association of Colleges of Teacher Education, NCATE, PDE, CEC, and Middle States, offers several programs leading to the baccalaureate degree with a major in Special Education. Majors in either Early Childhood or Elementary Education may dual major in Special Education. Graduates of these programs receive certification in both Early Childhood/ Elementary and Mentally and/or Physically Handicapped. This program, leading to the Pennsylvania Instructional Level I certification, entitles the graduate to teach children with the following disabilities: Mental retardation, learning disability, physical disabilities, emotional disturbance, and brain damage. Careers Objectives The field of special education, both within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and nationally, continues to grow, providing excellent professional career opportunities. Recent federal legislation has mandated new services for handicapped youngsters and provided increased funding . The impetus should be toward an increased growth rate in special education programs, particularly for children with severe and/or profound disabilities. Graduates of the Mentally and/or Physically Handicapped program are qualified to assume several professional roles including: special education classroom teacher, resource room teacher, homebound instruction teacher, hospital teacher, and a variety of roles in sheltered workshops and community-living arrangements for handicapped adults . The general objectives of the program are to demonstrate: • an understanding of the nature of disabling conditions and the impact of these conditions on normal growth and development, • an ability to effectively use alternative instructional strategies appropriate to the needs of exceptional children, •the ability to identify the educationally relevant characteristics of various exceptional children and to effectively diagnose and prescribe appropriate educational experiences, •the ability to function as a competent classroom manager in promoting learning among disabled students, •competency to initiate instructional programs that facilitate appropriate career and vocational goals for the mentally and/or physically disabled . Curriculum The growth of mainstream/inclusion programs for mildly handicapped youngsters has been rapid. It has been recognized that children with mild forms of disabilities typically attain higher levels of achievement in the regular class environment than in the special self-contained classroom. These children do, however, need special help and remedial instruction in some areas of the curriculum. Thus, the resource room is becoming an increasingly common means of addressing the needs of children while continuing to maintain their enrollment in regular classrooms. This process of integrating/ including the disabled child should be initiated early, preferably at the preschool level, or no later than the early elementary years. Teachers trained in Early Childhood or Special Education will be able to provide excellent resource services to both children and the other staff members of an elementary school. Graduates of this program are qualified to assume several professional roles, including regular early childhood classroom teacher (nursery-third grade), special education classroom teacher; mentally retarded, emotionally disturbed, physically disabled, learning disabled, brain-damaged (nursery-twelfth grade), and resource room teacher.

THEATRE Purpose As one of the performing arts, theatre is a means of selfexpression and social communication. Whether we study pure dramatic expression or musical dramatic expression, we seek to understand how speech, dance 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. Each student organization shares the facilities and faculty of the department. Steele Auditorium has a fully equipped 955-seat proscenium stage, and scenery, lighting, costume, property shops, storage space and classrooms. A state-of-the-art 16 channel sound mixer with multiple microphone and line inputs on-stage and in the theatre has recently been installed. A complete renovation and revision of the stage and building's lighting system is in progress. The study of the dramatic arts serves not only Theatre majors but those in other di sciplines concerned with human interaction and symbolic expression , e.g., art, education, communication, political science, sociology, English and psychology. Students who are aware of the hi story and technology associated with theatre enhance their appreciation of this art form, through either active or passive participation. 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 one practicum credit during each semester they are enrolled. These credits give the students practical experience in various areas of theatrical production: technical production, dance, acting, design, management, directing, technical direction, touring theatre, and summer theatre. Students must use the practicum experience to broaden and enlarge their experience in the field of theatre. Program 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. A master's degree program in Communication that includes theatre studies is available in the School of Graduate Studies. 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 Department sponsors five play-producing groups with membership open to all students: University Players; Children 's Theatre, which annually performs before young audiences of more than 3,000; Stories ' n Things, which carries improvisational drama directly to schools; Mon Valley Ballet Theatre, producing dance productions; and Theatre Now, which presents experimental drama in innovative stagings. These organizations either individually or in combination, present six on-campus play, dance, and musical productions. In addition, the department sponsors a preprofessional summer stock company which offers the opportunity for the student to work in a repertory environment. Honor Society Since 1938, outstanding students have annually been elected to the University Players' Hall of Fame. Membership in Alpha Psi Omega, the national honorary Theatre fraternity, is achieved through active participation in theatre productions. Careers Graduates of California University work throughout the country in professional and semi-professional theatre, in film and television, in teaching, community and regional theatre, recreation, and in rehabilitation theatre, public relations, interior decoration, costuming, and arts management.

Women 's Studies views the world 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. A 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. 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 for individuals to become better rounded and more aware. Career Outlook 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 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 Curriculum A student may pursue the certificate by one of two routes: Fifteen credit option. Required courses: Introduction to Women's Studies (WST 200), Feminist Scholarship and Research: A Seminar (WST 400), Practicum in Women 's Studies (WST 425).

Membership helps to provide leadership opportunities and career preparation. Undergraduate Catalog 1998-99 225 There are 22 sororities and fraternities to choose from at California University. Every chapter encourages and expects above average scholarship and participation in various activities which offer valuable experience. Community service is also encouraged.

Both the Panhellenic and Interfraternity (IFC) councils suggest that individuals who may be undecided about Greek membership consider participating in Rush before making that decision. Rush is a series of open houses, informal gatherings, parties and other social events which potential members attend to help them choose membership in a particular fraternity or sorority.

The Downey-Garofalo Health Center is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week while the university is in session. A staff of full-time registered nurses is on duty at all hours. A qualified physician is on duty for four hours a day, Monday through Friday, during specified hours. University health services are available to all registered undergraduate and graduate students. Employees, both faculty and staff, conference participants, visiting athletes and other visitors will be given emergency treatment if such an emergency occurs on the university campus. For the most part, the University Health Center is an out-patient facility. However, · from time to time, emergencies may be accommodated overnight. In some cases, short-time confinement of students coming from homes located a great distance from the university is also approved. One of the university physicians will determine when a student should return home for treatment and recovery. The physician will also refer students to local hospitals in emergencies and for other treatment beyond the capabilities of the University Health Center. The University• Health Center does not assume responsibility of doctor, hospital bills or prescription costs accrued by the students for treatment beyond capabilities of the University Health Center. In cases of emergency, Brownsville General Hospital will usually be used for primary care. The final decision in hospital selection is the student's. Student must submit completed health form as part of admissions process. Medical Absences Students who are unable to attend classes because of illness should contact their professors, explain their absences, and arrange completion of any work that may have been missed. The Health Center does not issue medical excuses, but will send written notification to professors only in the following circumstances, provided that the student initiate the request: ( 1) If a student consults a health care professional at the Health Center, and the health care professional determines that the student has or had sufficient medical reason not to attend class (or to fulfill other academic obligations), notification will be sent to the student's professors but only if the student makes a request at that time. (2) If a student has consulted a private physician, who has determined that the student has or had sufficient medical reason not to attend class (or to fulfill other academic obligations), and the physician notifies the Health Center to ' that effect in writing, notification to this effect will be sent to the student's professors. (3) If a student is confined for longer treatment or care at the infirmary section of the Health Center, verification of the confinement will be sent to the student's professors. If a student is hospitalized elsewhere or requires extended recovery with bed rest, written notification should be sent from the attending physician to the Health Center, which will notify the student's professors. Upon notification from the Health Center or any other health care professional , the professor may decide whether to consider the notification as a valid excuse from class or other academic obligations. A professor may call the nurse supervisor of the Health Center for verification of a student's visit, but a visit can be verified only if a student was actually seen by a health professional. The delivery of high quality health care is the heart of the Health Center. All areas of the Health Center are under strict rules of confidentiality. Medical information will be released by patient's written consent, by a properly executed subpoena, and to appropriate university offices in an emergency if knowledge of the information is necessary to protect the health and safety of the student and other individuals. Counseling and Psychological Services The Counseling Center staff provides personal, social, psychological and career choice services to students with problems that interfere with their adjustment and effective educational performance while at the university. Students having trouble understanding their feelings, maintaining satisfactory social and interpersonal relationships, or coping with academic demands, may benefit from seeing a counselor, social worker or psychologist at the Counseling Center. Students can call the Center at 724-938-4191, or contact the receptionist in the Center's office in the DowneyGarofalo Health Center for an appointment with a licensed psychologist or counselor. They can make the appointment themselves or be referred by a professor, fellow student, staff person or management personnel. Students can talk to a counselor in private with assurance that the discussion will remain confidential. Most appointments are of an individual nature, but special interest groups can be organized. The special interest groups may meet on a weekly basis dealing with stress, test anxiety, selfdisclosure, interpersonal relationships, parents, occupational choice, depression, sex or other topics of interest to all members in the group. In addition, interest, intelligence, aptitude and personality tests and questionnaires may be used to gather more information. Through counseling a student will learn how to interpret this informatio·n and make better choices in university life. The professional counselors have extended their services by developing a strong referral system locally on campus and off campus. Referrals can be made to any department or office on campus for financial aid, student work-study programs, tutoring, academic advising, and other matters. Further, there is a close liaison with the Student Development Office, residence hall directors, the Health Center, the Speech and Hearing Clinic, the Rehabilitation Office, the Veterans Affairs Office, the Women's Center, the Campus Ministry, and other divisions of the university. A formal agreement between Southwestern Pennsylvania Human Services, Inc. (SPHS) and California University of Pennsylvania provides diversified counseling services beyond the scope of the Counseling Center. Undergraduate Catalog 1998-99 227 Under this agreement SPHS and its affiliated corporations provide certain rehabilitative and therapeutic treatment services to students and employees of California University upon referral to the agencies by the university, its agents and associates or the students or employees themselves. These services include drug and alcohol assessment and treatment, mental health services, and primary health care services. Also, other health and social services which are requested by the university and are within the scope of SPHS and its affiliates may be provided. For further information on the drug and alcohol program on campus, see the section on CHOICES. Please call 724-938-4191 or drop in at the Health Center.

CHOICES CHOICES is the drug and alcohol education and prevention program located in Downey-Garofalo Health Center. It is one approach by California University of Pennsylvania to provide a drug free community. CHOICES provides programs for the university and surrounding communities aimed at increasing awareness of alcohol and drug related issues. These programs include consultation, counseling, education, self-development, substance-free activities, and support groups for co-dependency and Adult Children of Alcoholics. CHOICES is made up of three primary components: the Consortium, BACCHUS, and the Assessment and Intervention Program. Each of these is an integral member of the program's development and expansion within the campus community. The Consortium is a combined effort by California and eight neighboring universities to provide a forum for discussion of relevant and current issues in drug and alcohol prevention and education as well as the sharing of developmental programming ideas. The Consortium offers California and other universities access to a resource library consisting of videos, books, pamphlets, and other information related to drug and alcohol use and abuse. BACCHUS (Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students) is a student organization developed under the guidance of advisors from the office. BACCHUS strives to help individuals explore their attitudes and behavior regarding alcohol and drug use. BACCHUS is an educational component focusing on self-responsibility and conscientious decision making. Assessment and Intervention is designed to assist those whose behavior may be harmful to themselves or others because of alcohol or drug abuse. This program offers an opportunity for students to learn facts and to dispel myths concerning the use of alcohol and other drugs. Through group interaction activities students gain a sense of self and the impact their actions have on others. 228 California University of Pennsylvania Services For Students With Disabilities Students with disabilities are provided an equal opportunity to participate in student services and activities conducted by the university.
