SOME NOTES ABOUT
THE UNIVERSITY
The University of Rochester is . one of the smallest of this country's distinguished universities. Grounded in a tradition that goes back 130 years, it is independent, nonsectarian, and coeducational.
Rochester is the right place for the highly motivated student who is looking for a fine university education and success in career or professional school and who will enjoy this university's small scale and special quality of life.
Rochester undergraduates number just ovn 4,000 men and women. Their faculty is also the faculty that teaches the graduate students; there is no distinction between the two.
Because a university's business is constantly to extend the limits of human understanding, its faculty members are engaged in original scholarship on many levels and in many fields. At Rochester, undergraduates a s well as graduate students are invited, and in fact encouraged, to participate in these investigations. The faculty-to-student ratio is high, about I to II.
There is more than one way to acquire a sound, useful, durable education that persists and enriches throughout one's life. At Rochester, this fact is well recognized. Students here take advantage of a wide choice in planning their degree programs, selecting a course of study best adapted to individual interests and career goals from among the diverse offerings of the University's eight schools and colleges. U ndergraduates have the opportunity to take graduate courses; premed students can enroll in classes at the medical school or the Eastman School of Music; future engineers can diversify their studies with an advanced course in Chaucer. The permutations are virtually limitless. Interdisciplinary programs (summarized on page 15) are one of Rochester's strengths.
No one says the work is easy. But Rochester students are bright and well motivated. They enjoy the challenge. And a strong advising program (page 10), beginning with prefreshman orientation and continuing through a career placement service for alumni, offers help where and when it is needed.
Rol:hester alumni have a fint' track record in finding placement in excellent graduatt' schools (some 50 percent have in recent years gone on to graduate study) and in establishing themselves in careers of thelf choice.
As one student summed it up recently, "Rochester opens doors."
Noteworthy Features of Academic Programs
Special qualities justify Rochester's reputation for sustained academic excellence. One is the caliber of the faculty. The latest ( 1971) survey by the American Council on Education gave the University's faculties the highest ranking in I~ fields in which Ph. D . degrees were awarded. The fields were divided among the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences.
Rochester's place in American higher education may perhaps be indicated in another way: Among the 3,000 colleges and universities m this country, only ~5 private institutions are members of the prestigious Association of American Universities. The University of Rochester is among this select number.
Most students find the intellectual climate at Rochester bracing. Undergraduates often study with distinguished senior faculty members- taking a course in freshman English with a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, working on a research project with an engineer or biomedical scientist in the forefront of the discipline, or perhaps studying laser fusion in the University's Laboratory for Laser Energetics.
Rochester is small enough to foster clos~: working relationships between students and faculty. A few classes are designed as large lecture courses on an introductory level. The great majority are small, enabling students to work as junior colleagues with faculty members.
10 The University
Undergraduates at Rochester spend less of their time in class than is traditional on many other campuses; much of their course work consists of independent study. As one senior remarked recently, "Rochester is one of the few schools where students can design and execute their own independent research instead of putting in their time as someone else's technician."
Freshmen can take early advantage of specialized academic offerings in Freshman Preceptorials (see pages 33-35). Limited to about 15 students, these are small seminars that deal with advanced subject matter, often from an interdepartmental approach. Frequently they are taught by a senior faculty member who may, for example, be a Guggenheim fellow or a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Students ::njoy the opportunity for easy give-and-take with their preceptors. "It's a chance to get to know faculty members on a first-name basis," says one former freshman.
Among the many other specialized undergraduate offerings are the Washington Semester and Study Abroad programs, internships, "X" Period projects, and Rochester Plan programs for undergraduate research. They are summarized beginning on page 15.
Advising At Rochester, academic advising and career coun
seling begin before the start of the freshman year and extend beyond graduation.
Entering students are invited to come to the U niversity for several days during the summer before they start their freshman year. During this informal getacquainted period they take tours of the campus, meet with deans, faculty members, and fellow undergraduates, participate in academic and extracurricular programs, attend preprofessional meetings, and make a generous sampling of on-campus entertainment: films, concerts, dances, and informal dinners. This is the time when the new students also take aptitude tests, discuss the results with faculty and staff advisers, consult with their advisers about appropriate course selection, and register for the fall term. Their parents are invited to the campus at the same time for their own orientation program.
Throughout the undergraduate years, the resources of the University- staff, faculty, and programs- provide continuing services in educational and career counseling. In the words of a fourth-year Rochester student, "They really care about you here and there's a lot of help around, but you have to ask for it." That's
because the University recognizes that not all individuals need the same kind of help at the same time, and that Rochester students can be expected to be mature enough to ask for assistance at the times when they need it.
The Office of Counseling and Psychological Services (page 211) works with students seeking help with personal, vocational, and educational concerns. The Career Services and Placement Center (page 207) is well prepared to provide assistance with vocational preparation and placement, and its facilities and programs are available to University alumni throughout their professional careers.
The Campus The 50-year-old River Campus is the University's
main campus, "home ground" for most undergraduates. It is located on the southern edge of the city, tucked between a bend of the Genesee River and a picturesque Victorian cemetery. Next door is one of Rochester's many city parks. A short walk away is the University's Medical Center.
The original complex of Georgian brick build ings has been expanded a number of times with new structures in the same rosy brick that give the appearance of existing in contented harmony with their older neighbors.
Among the newest structures are Hutchison Hall for the biology and chemistry departments, characterized by its unusual cantilevered classrooms (1972), the fourlevel Psychology Building housing the Department of Psychology and the Center for Visual Science (1974), and the I.M. Pei-designed Wilson Commons, the sixlevel glass-and-brick student union (1976).
A renovation program, still under way, is restoring most of the earlier buildings to a comfortable a nd wellequipped state.
The University's small sca le and inviting architecture make a trip across the campus a pleasant stroll, or, for the more vigorous, an easy jog.
But for most students the most attractive part of the campus is not the buildings but the people that animate them. "They're my kind," says one of the seniors. By that she meant friendly, independent, and interested in a great many things, by no means all of them directly connected with the classroom, the laboratory, or the library.
Out-of-Class Life: On Campus "The shortest distance between two points is where
Wilson Commons is." This campus graffito, chalked up during construction of the now four-year-old student union, accurately identifies the hub of out-ofclass life.
Wilson Commons can be described as the kind of place where you go to meet friends, eat lunch, watch television, see a film, view an art exhibit, give a concert, have a party, play ping-pong, take wine-tasting lessons, consume a piece of the famous mouth-watering Wilson Commons fudge, or just sit and stare into space. " Hanging around Wilson Commons" is a recognized and respectt:d student activity.
Inside Wilson Commons and elsewhere on the campus, there is always a great deal going on. "Your social life is what you make it," say Rochester students. "There is a lot of discovering to be done. But you can always find your own niche."
Among the niches that one freshman had found by the end of her first semester last year were a volunteer job a t nearby Monroe Community Hospital, yoga classes at the University Interfaith ChapeL some lively disco dancing at the Commons, ice-skating sessions, and a mutually stimulating friendship with a campus administrator, an outgrowth of the Rochester Connection program instituted last year to bring together, on a purely social basis, interested University freshmen with staff members and their families.
Other undergradua tes work on the student-run campus daily or the AM-FM radio stations, join one or more of the many performmg arts groups, participate in the activities of political action and community service organizations, or join with like-minded students in a variety of special-interest groups, from the Bridge Club to the Society for Creative Anachronism.
In all , more than 70 campus organizations enable students to pursue a variety of individual interests, and student-sponsored events ta ke place nearly every night of the week: film series, both classic and contemporary; concerts, recitals, and plays; a lively outside-speakers program; and parties and informal gettogethers. (For a more detailed description of these activities, see the section on Student Life beginning on page 213.)
Special campus-wide events enliven the school year at regular intervals: Yellowjacket Day to start things off in the fall, Dandelion Day to celebrate the arrival of spring, and, to warm up the mid-winter season, an annual Winter Carnival encompassing, among other
The University II
events, a snowman-building contest, a marathon mdoor softball game, and a Wilson Commons AllN ighter highlighted by karate and gymnastics demonstrations, a paper airplane contest, dancing, games, films, and, for the hardy, a Survivors' Breakfast.
For the action-minded, in addition to the 19 intercollegiate sports offered, there is an extensive schedule of intramural sports, from badminton, basketball, a nd billiards to inner-tube water polo and foosball. Most students participate in the intramural program, which includes men's, women's, and coed competition. On occasion, faculty and staff members join in, too. (See Sports and Recreation, page 179 and page 216.)
There is ample opportunity for individual sports. The l1 niversity maintains a tree-lined jogging path along the Genesee River, a quarter-mile outdoor track, a banked eighth-mile indoor track, and comprehensive exercise and weight-training facilities. Two large swimming pools accommodate both serious lapswimmers and those who just want to swim to relax. In warmer weather, students often rent canoes for leisurely afternoons on the river.
In response to the ever-growing student interest in active sports, the University has embarked on a major expansion of its athletic facilities, projected for completion in the fall of 1981. This multifaceted sports complex (described on page 217) will result in an even greater range of recreational opportunities open to Rochester students.
Student Residence "The people on my hall are like my family," says
an undergraduate who looks forward to going horne to her dorm every day after classes and intensive sessions with her books in the library. Like most undergraduates, she chooses to live on campus, within a short walk of classrooms, labs, libraries, and athletic facilities.
Comfortable and diversified living accommodations are tailored to individual preferences. An appealing feature for many students is the presence of a number of special-interest residences. Among these special living and study centers are Medieval Studies Center, Drama Center, Music Floor, Environmental Living Center, and the Foreign Language Corridors. Here students and faculty members with mutual interests learn from each other in an informal residential atmosphere. Committed to the ideal of intellectual community, residents of these living centers sponsor films, concerts, outside speakers, readings, and plays, all
12 The University
open to the University community. (See page 217 for more on student residences.)
Out-of-Class Life: Off Campus "The Rochester area has a lot to offer, and Roches
ter students are very mobile," says a senior who adds variety to his out-of-class time by exploring the attractions of the city and the surrounding countryside. "I f you wa nt to go off campus it's easy," he adds. Many students have cars , and getting a ride from a friend is a lways a good possibility. A free shuttle bus connects the University campuses, making regula r stops at the Eastman School of Music, within easy walking distance of downtown Rochester. Last year a studentadministration committee instituted a "UR Special" bus that makes weekend runs to a variety of "hot spots," movie theaters, restaurants, and snack places.
Rochester is a city of medium size placed between the shore of Lake Ontario to the north and the glacierformed hills of the Finger Lakes region to the south. No one says it is New York City, but it doesn't have to be: it has a flavor and an appeal of its own. Rochester has been rated among the East's most liva ble cities: small enough and clean enough (local industry is light and highly technical, leaving the area relatively unspoiled) to be comfortable, and large enough and cosmopolitan enough to afford a variety of diversions, whether your tastes run to symphony orchestras and jazz concerts, planetariums and museums, or Gra nd Prix auto racing and professional ice hockey.
For off-campus eating, the city offers a tempting array of restaurants, from elegant, expensive, and cont inental, to tasty, cheap, and Chinese. Many of the favorite restaurants are located in the Park Avenue area, a pleasant section of the city filled with comfortable, turn-of-the-century residences, trendy boutiques, hand-craft shops, art galleries, import stores, and emporia like the celebrated neighborhood pharmacy that sells everything from Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies to lifesize posters of movie stars and reproductions of nineteenth-century gadgets.
Adjacent to Park Avenue is stately, tree-lined East Avenue, once dubbed the most beautiful residential street in America and still bearing ample evidence of the reasons for its earlier celebrity. Two of the Rochester area's ma ny museums are located on this street, the world-famous International Museum of Photography at George Eastman House a nd the Rochester Museum and Science Center, which includes Strasenburgh Planetarium, one of the most sophisticated
planetarium facilities in the world. Nearby is the University's Memorial Art Gallery, which functions in a dual role as a university museum and as the city's public art museum. The Gallery possesses a distinguished collection of world a rt and shows regularly changing loan exhibitions. The area's o ther major museum, the Genesee Country Museum, a reconstructed nineteenth-century village, is located in a pleasant farming area several miles to the west of the c ity. Scheduled to open in 1982 is the new Margaret Woodbury Strong Museum, focusing on the growth of American taste from the Victorian era through 1930, and including among its holdings of fine and decorative arts the world's largest and most definitive doll collection.
Rochester has been called "a city of music." The presence of the University's Eastman School of Music and the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, one of this country's fine regional orchestras, has nurtured a proliferation of other musica l organizations, among .them the Rochester Bach Festival and Opera Theatre of Rochester. Almost every night of the week (and on many afternoons too) there are concerts, most of .them free, presented by the accomplished a rtists who study and teach at the Eastman School. The School's beautiful Eastman Theatre, home of the Rochester Philharmonic a nd site a lso of many Eastman School concerts, regularly plays host to distinguished guest performers. Recent visiting artists have included Aaron Copland, James Galway, Vladimir Horowitz, ltzhak Perlman, Jean-Pierre Rampal, Isaac Stern, a nd the New York City Ballet. J azz and popular-music concerts are a frequent feature of the local concert schedule.
Professional baseball, basketball, soccer, and ice hockey are popular specta tor sports in Rochester, with major league football and hockey just an hour's drive away in Buffalo. Automobile racing is held at Watkins Glen (a two-hour drive), site of the American Grand Prix, a nd there is horse racing a t nearby F inger Lakes Race Track and Batavia Downs.
In the city and beyond is a network of public parks for recreation of a ll kinds, including canoeing, hiking, rid ing, skiing, fishing, and swimming. Genesee Valley Park, next door to the campus, offers a thletic fields and courts, boating, ice skating, and picnicking, and has two public golf courses. About an hour's drive away a re Letchworth Park, the "Grand Canyon of the East ," and the Finger Lakes, home of the New York State wine industry and the site of a variety of recreational opportunities, including 17 ski areas. Niagara Falls is an hour and a half away, and Toronto, one of the continent's most exciting cities, is only about three hours from Rochester.
Many University of Rochester students find that the presence of a number of other institutions of higher learning in the Rochester area is an attractive and stimulating adjunct to off-campus life, amplifying the student-oriented entertainment available to them.
A major center for medical and social services, tht: community offers ma ny opportunities for volunteer service. Recently, several University of Rochester varsity basketball players started an informal Saturday morning coaching clinic for youngsters who go to the elementary school in an integrated neighborhood across the river from the campus. Many students find volunteer positions through the Community Services Coordinating Committee, which acts as a liaison between the University and community agencies. Students participating in these programs may work in hospitals, including the University's Strong Memorial Hospital, courts, prisons, social service organizations, and educational and tutorial agencies.
About the Rochester weather. Many people think
The University 13
of Rochester as the snow capital of the country. That would be a distinction, but we can't claim it. On the other hand, Rochester's location on the southern shore of Lake Ontario. which mitigates the extremes of temperature in both summer and winter, does indeed, on occasion, bring heavy "lake effect" snowstorms. Skiers, ice skaters, snowmobilers , ice boaters, snowshoers, sledders, tobogganers, ice fishermen , builders of snowmen, and makers of snow angels love Rochester's winters. Others learn to cope. And a respite in Toronto - where undercover links make it possible to travel through much of the heart of this exciting cosmopolitan city without setting foot out-of-doors- is only about a thn:e-hour drive away.
Spring and fall in Rochester, it should be added. can be very beautiful, and the city's location affords a good opportunity to enjoy them. Unlike many urban centers, Rochester is situated in a rura l setting, where the air is pure and deer and other wildlife still live within minutes of downtown.

SPECIAL ACADEMIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR
UNDERGRADUATES I n addition to Freshman Preceptorials (described
on page 10 and in more detail on page 33), Rochester offers a number of other special programs for undergraduates. Some of them are detailed below.
T he University's "X'" Period refers to the ume after spring semester ends and before fall semester begins. Students are encouraged to undertake studies, depending on choice, for no credit and no tuition, that may last for a few days, several weeks, or most of the summer. Costs for materials and living expenses during this period are the responsibility of the student.
The College of Arts and Science Summer Semester is an opportunity for students to take courses which are usually not offered during the academic year. These courses may be suggested by students or faculty and are reviewed and evaluated as if they were academic year offerings. Examples of summer semester offerings include a course in Medieval Art of the Court, Monastery, Cathedral, and Countryside, and a summer dig at Bordesley Abbey, England. Each is taught by a professor from the Department of Fine Arts.
The Interdepartmental Degree Programs (pages 91 and 149) provide students with an unusual opportunity to construct individual programs suited to their special talents and interests. Students are currently pursuing interdepartmental concentration programs in American studies, biochemistry, biomedical ethics, biomedica l engineering, urban studies, Russian studies, film studies, environmental engineering, and computer science, among others. The film studies program provides the opportunity to study cinematography (the a rts and disciplines creating motion pictures) and cinematology (the arts and disciplines comprehending them). Faculty members in the Center for Special Degree Programs (see page 45) assist undergraduates in planning and developing interdepartmental studies concentrations in the College of Arts and Science. Students planning an interdepartmental program leading to a
bachelor of science in engineering and applied science work closely with faculty members on the Program Committee in the College of Engineering and Applied Science (see pages 149 and 150).
Undergraduate Summer Project Program. In 1976 the Rochester Plan, a multidisciplinary and intercollegiate approach to education (see page 209), introduced a program designed to encourage undergraduate research experiences . Each spring, undergraduates are invited to submit proposals for investigative projects, to be undertaken with the guidance of a faculty sponsor during the summer. Students participate in planned seminars and informal gatherings on campus. The program is a stimulating intellectua l experience. At the close of these projects, students are encouraged to submit research papers for inclusion in the Journal of Undergraduate Research.
Rochester Plan Early Selection Program. As an experiment in the improvement of medical education, at the end of each academic year up to 16 sophomores are selected for admission to the University's School of Medicine and Dentistry, under a "2-4- 2" sequence. These students design individual programs in accord with their interests, covering four years of integrated study on the River Campus and in the medical school. For information on any aspect of the Plan, write the Health Professions Advising Office, Lattimore Hall.
Independent Study Courses permit qualified students to pursue independently areas of read ing and research not included or not treated in sufficient depth in regularly offered courses. These special tutorial courses are most often on a one-to-one basis, with the content and objectives of the course determined by faculty-student collaboration.
Interdisciplinary Courses (page 32) deal with topics which are often intercollegiate and cannot easily fit into the offerings of only one or two disciplines. Students taking these courses readily see the interrelationship of disciplines and the need for a broad edu-
16 Special Academic Opportunities
cational base in order to understand the issues fully. For example, Int roduction to Community Medicine is taught to undergraduates by faculty members and guest lecturers from the Medical Center. One in a series of "special topics" liberal arts courses had 12 lecturers from the Departments of Chemistry, Psycho logy, Philosophy, English, and History in the College of Arts and Science and the Depa rtments of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Neurology, and Psychiatry in the School of Medicine and Dentistry.
Practica are credit cour-ses supervised by University faculty members which usually combine field experience with lectures, seminars, and oral and written reports. Each practicum provides d irect personal interaction with working professiona ls in their everyday environment. Examples include the interdisciplinary Health Services Practicum, the Practicum in Gerontology, and several courses in the Department of Psychology.
Internship experiences enable students to work in off-campus service centers, business firms, area newspapers, and government agencies. Recent examples include internships with the Rochester District Attorney's office, Xerox Corporation, the Rochester Budget Bureau, the Legal Assistance Corporation, the Memorial Art Gallery, a radio-television station, a theatrical company, the New York State Assembly, and various agencies of the federal government in Washington, D.C. Students work under the supervision of college faculty and receive credit for their work.
The Washington Semester Program, administered by the Department of Political Science, allows selected students to participate directly in the work of legislators at the national level on a full-time basis. Students work as staff assistants in the offices of United States Senators or Representatives for a semester and receive full academic credit. Their activities usually include writing speeches, attending hearings, researching law, taking notes at committee meetings, answering mail, and performing other assignments associated with the political process.
The Geology Internship in Marine Sciences (page 82) allows selected upper-class students majoring in geology, biology-geology, or biology to spend one semester at the West Indies Laboratory, St. Croix, U.S . Virgin Islands. Students in the program gain research experience in an environment where they may conduct independent research projects.
The S tudy Abroad Program provides students with an opportunity to participate in a year or a semester of study abroad during the junior year or, if appropriate, during the sophomore or senior year. Rochester students have studied at universit ies in va rious countries, including Engla nd, Germany, Israel, France, Spain, and Ja pa n, prima rily in the humanities and social sciences. Special programs for Rochester students include the Hebrew University P rogram and three onesemester programs in London, each of which combines course work with a practical internship experience.
The British Politics Semester offers an internship with a Member of Parliament. Participants work as research and administrative assistants to British M .P.'s and have the opportunity to experience the workings of the British political system at close hand. They take part in every aspect of the M.P.'s work from routine office tasks to preparing press releases, from researching current political issues to writing speeches.
The Fine A rts Semester places students as research and administrative assistants in a London museum such as the Victoria and Albert, the National Trust, or the Commonwealth Institute. Interns become involved in every phase of museum work, helping select items to be shown, mounting exhibitions, and researching and organizing collections within the museum.
The Medical Research/ Health Care Administration Semester allows students to work in the administrative area of a health care facility or in a research laboratory of one of London's teaching hospitals, such as Charing Cross, the Royal Free, or King's College Medical SchooL Interns in this program also attend a weekly seminar which offers an academic exposure to the British health-care system through visits to facilities and lecture-discussion meetings with guest speakers.
Using All University Resources The graduate and professional schools of the Uni
versity offer many opportunities for undergradua te students to study in advanced and specialized areas. With only a few exceptions, students who wish to elect courses in any unit of the University may count these credits toward the bachelor's degree in the College of Arts and Science.
Qualified undergraduates on the River Campus who wish to cont inue with their musical interests may take music lessons and courses at the University's Eastman
School of' Music. This work carries college credit and can be taken along with the student's regular undergraduate course work. For those desiring more intense

involvement, the College of Arts and Science, in cooperation with the Eastman School, offers a B.A. degree with a concentration in music (see page 101).
18 Special Academic Opportunities
As the principal facility for teaching, research, and patient care for the medical and nursing schools, Strung 1Hemvrial Hospital welcomes undergraduate students who wish to do vo~unteer work in the hospital's units. Faculty members in the School of Medicine and Dentistry allow selected undergraduates to assist in their research projects. In many instances the student's research work may qualify and be approved for college credit as an independent study course (see page 15).
Students interested in photography may enroll in courses offered by the University in cooperation with the Internativnal Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House, which contains the world's most important collection of pictures. films, and apparatus showing the development of the art and technology of photography. The courses, held on the River Campus and at the Museum, are taught by the Museurn staff and are open to all undergraduates.
Students selected to partiCipate in the Joseph C. Wil.wn Scholarship Program are permitted great freedom in planning their educational programs with the aid of faculty sponsors. Innovations pioneered by Wilson Scholars are made available to succeeding classes of students.
Among courses offered to undergraduates on a regular basis are studies in accounting, business administration, marketing, and business law in the Graduate School of Management (see page 172) and preparatory courses for secondary school teaching in the Graduate School of Education and Human Development (see page 175).
Many other courses in the graduate and professional schools are also available to the undergraduate. Help in finding courses related to one's interests may be obtained in the Office of Academic Advising, or from faculty members in the field of interest.
Preparing for a Government Career
The University offers a number of interdisciplinary programs which are designed to help prepare students for a career in government.
Students interested in international affairs may earn a certificate in International Relations (see page 91). The Department of Political Science offers undergraduate and graduate courses in public policy and provides the opportunity for a select number of undergraduates to be accepted into the Public Policy Analysis Program at the end of their junior year (see page 117). Students interested in more emphasis on management may wish to consider the joint degree program leading to a master's degree in public policy analysis and a master's degree in business administration.
Many internship opportunities are available to undergraduate students such as the Washington Semester Program (see page 16), New York State Assembly and Senate Internship programs, and Federal Summer Internships. In addition, counselors in the Career Services a nd Placement Center can provide current information on summer jobs, descriptive materials on government agencies, a Career Services and Placement Center handbook called Guide to Government Employment, and can put students in touch with alumni working in the field.
Preparing for a Business Career Many students choose to work directly after gradua
tion and find that the Career Services and Placement Center can be most useful. The resources of the career library, the workshops held throughout the year (such as those in job search techniques, career sk ills identification, interview skills, and resume writing), the panels and presentations and careers fairs, the personal advising, the alumni aid through the RACERS program- all can contribute to the student who is searching to make the most intelligent decision. Our active on-campus recruiting program a nd listings of current job opportunities are vita l compo nents in many students' job search.
Some students ho ping to receive a master's degree in business administ ration pursue that degree through our 3-2 Program with the Graduate School of Management (see page 169). Others apply to graduate programs a t other institutio ns, and request assistance
Special A cademic Opportunities 19
from the Ca reer Services and Placement Center. Knowledgeable advisers, a Career Services and Placement Center handbook entitled Guide to the Graduate Business Schvol Application Process, and plentiful information in the career library (including helpful tips from former students) a re available there.
Combining Graduate and Undergraduate Study
Students wishing to earn a doctoral degree normally must spend four years of study beyond the undergraduate years. Other students desire advanced training for professional work, but not the doctorate. For undergraduates headed toward either of these academic goals, the University provides a number of interesting options. These include:
l. One- or two-year programs for the master's degree, following the award of a bachelor's degree. These are available in a lmost a ll of our areas of study.
2. A mix of graduate study in one's specialty while completing the bachelor's degree. This privilege is accorded to all students whose work in a given area is sufficiently advanced. This option does not extend the time of study at the University of Rochester.
3. A combined program of undergraduate and graduate study for five years, with the first three undergraduate, and the last two graduate . This 3- 2 option permits earning a bachelor's degree (awarded after four years) and a professional master's degree.
Students interested in any of these options should seek ea rly counseling from academic advisers or faculty. The 3-2 option is widely used , and permits a mix of programs across colleges and schools.
T he 3- 2 programs described in this bulletin include those in business administration (page 169), public policy (page 125 ), community health (page 52), and engineering (page 141). Among other combined programs which may be begun during the undergraduate years are the master of science in public policy with a specialty in pharmaceutical issues (page 126), a combined master of science in public policy and master of science in community health (page 52), and a combined master of science in community health and master of business administration (page 52).

COLLEGES AND FACILITIES
The College of Arts and Sciences, the Graduate School of Education and Human Development, the College of Engineering and Applied Science, the Graduate School of Management, and the University College of Lil;>eral and Applied Studies are loca ted on
the River Campus, about two miles south of downtown Rochester. The School of Medicine and Dentistry a nd the School of Nursing are loca ted at the Univers ity Medical Center, adjacent to the River Campus (see the map on the inside back cover). T he Eastman School of Music is loca ted in the center of the city of Rochester, within wal king distance of its Prince Street Campus.
The University of Rochester gives its students the opportu nit ies they need to pursue their individual ed ucatio na l goals. Each of its colleges offers many routes leading to degrees tha t are the fo rmal recogn ition of the achievement of those goals. In working with stude nts to help them develop their potent ial, the faculty of each college establishes the requirements for degree programs within that co llege and, in turn , judges whether students have fulfilled those req uirements.
River Campus Colleges The College of Arts and Science (pages 31-138),
the oldes t of the University's eight academic units, enro lls a majority of the undergradua te students on the River Campus. All undergrad uate students except those entering the Eastman School of Music take the firs t two years of wo rk in libera l a rts in the Co llege of Arts and Science. The College provides undergraduate and grad uate degree programs in the humanit ies, natural sciences, and social sciences.
The College o( Engineering and Applied Science (pages 139- 161) enrolls upper-class students and graduate students and also offers courses fo r freshmen and sophomores that may be taken by degree candidates fro m any college. Ed ucation in a wide range of specialties is available at both undergraduate
and graduate levels, with students throughout the University encouraged to take part in the College's projects as their programs allow. Through the Interdepa rtmental Progra m, students may elect to obtain broad general tra ining in engineering and applied science.
The Graduate School of M anagement (pages i69-173) offers graduate study in business administration for management careers in the profit and non-profit sectors. For undergraduate students who are interested in such careers, it also offers a unique opportunity to earn an undergraduate degree and a master of business administration degree (M. B.A.) in five yea rs instead of the usual six. T his five-year course of study, the School's 3- 2 Program, consists of three years of undergraduate study in another college followed by two years in the Graduate School of Management. After successfully completing the first year in the Graduate School of Management, the student receives a bachelor's degree from the undergraduate college; a master's degree in business administration is awarded upon completion of a second year.
T he Graduate School of Education and Human Development (pages 175-177) provides undergraduate and grad uate programs for the preparation of teachers in the secondary school fields of English, mathematics, modern fo reign languages, sciences, and social studies, as well as graduate programs in a number of ed ucational specialties. Students enrolled in the undergraduate programs normally receive their degrees in the Co llege of Arts and Science.
University College of Liberal and Applied S!Udies provides university-level education for those students, prima rily part-time, who have specia l needs not met by the programs of other d ivisions of the University. T o accommodate these students, most University College classes are held in the la te afternoons, evenings, or on Saturdays. All courses essential to its master's degree programs are offered during evening hours.
Summer Session classes are offe red by University College on the River Campus and by the Eastman School of Music. Undergradua tes at the University of

College
The College of Arts a nd Science offers degree programs leading to the bachelor of a rts and to the bachrlor of science The College also provides the first two years of instruction for those students who plan on degrees in the College of Engineering and Applied Science, the School of Nursing, a nd the first three yea rs for students working toward a n M.B.A. deg ree in the Graduate School of Management.
The instructiOna l program of the College permits the student to select a wide variety of a reas of study. It also requires the selection of one area of concentration to which approximately one-third of the total fouryear program is devoted. T he combination of extensive and intensive study, involving course work, laboratory activity, a nd independent stud y and writing, is intended to prepare young persons for careers in scholar ly or practical affa irs and for lives of service in society.
Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts
The B.A. progra m is directed toward a broad, comprehensive education, with special attention to the integration of many areas of study. Degree requirements in the College of Arts a nd Science may be met in many ways, and there is great flexibility in a rra ng-
mg programs. The requirements for the B.A. degree are: I. Completion of eight semesters of approved course
work at the college level or the equivalent, with at least two semesters of full-time registration in the College.
2. The satisfactory completion with a n average grade of "C" or better of 32 approved courses, i.e., 128 credit hours.
3. The successful completion of a course in English in which emphasis is given to the reading and writing 0f effective prose. Any 100-level English course (except courses numbered 110-129 and 190-199) may be taken to satisfy this requirement. Entering students are advised by the Department of English in the selection of courses. Students may occasionally be exempted from this requirement at the discretion of the Department.
4. Demonstrated proficiency in one foreign language, ancient or modern, by the end of the sophomore year. Students will show proficiency only by achieving a satisfactory score on a standard test authorized by the Committee on the College La nguage Requirement.
5. Completion of at least two courses in each of the two distribution groups outside the area of concentration. Courses in the College are divided into three broad distribution groups as follows: Group !- Humanities: English (except 101 and 110 through 129), F ine Arts, Foreign Languages (except courses numbered 101 , 102, and 103), Literatures, Literature in Translation, Music, Philosophy (except 210, 215, 216), Religio us Studies. Group 11 - Sucial Sciences: Anthropology, Economics, History, Linguistics, Political Science, Psychology (only 160- 189, 260- 289 , 360- 389), Sociology. Group lll - NaLUral Sciences: Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Geological Sciences, Mathema tics (except 140), Philosophy (only 210, 215, 216), Physics, Psychology (only 101, 120-159, 211, 220-259, 320-359), Statistics.
32 Arts and Science
6. The satisfactory completion of course work with an average grade of "C" or better in a program of concentration. This normally includes six to eight courses within the major department and two to four courses in an allied field. No more than 20 courses may be taken in any one department. A student who plans to complete requirements for the B.A. degree must make formal application to a department or an area of concentration by the end of the sophomore year. The student must file in the College Office a program of concentration approved by the appropriate faculty adviser in the department of concentration.
It is the student's responsibility for ultimately completing a program in which all degree requirements are met. However, the requirements permit much more variation in programs than most students realize. For example, students are not required to complete distribution requirements during the first two years. A delay may, in fact, provide the student an opportunity to plan a more interesting program and to invt:stigate possible areas of concentration.
In the planning of a program, it is important to know that course work offered in naval science may not be counted toward the distribution requirements, nor may course work taken in the Graduate School of Management, Graduate School of Education and Human Development, College of Engineering and Applied Science, School of Medicine and Dentistry, a nd School of Nursing, except as authorized by the Steering Committee of the Faculty Council. Although freshman preceptorials may be used to meet distribution requirements, some are not readily classified; courses labeled as liberal arts do not always meet distribution requirements. In cases of doubt, the student should obtain clarification from the College's Academic Advising Office. Course work taken outside the College of Arts and Science is not accepted toward the degree by some departments. Students should consult the Academic Advising Office concerning credit approval.
Departments of the College discourage students from registering for the next course in a continuing science sequence, if an appropriate grade level ("C-" or above) has not been achieved in the preceding course. It has been shown that a student's success in such a sequence is directly related to performance in the preceding course. Students so advised are asked to seek assistance in their future program planning from the Academic Advising Office and from their faculty advisers.
Once having begun a program of concentration, it is possible to change to another; however, additional
course work may be required. Before deciding tc) change a selected area of concentration, students are urged to discuss plans with their advisers. If transfer to another department is advisable, the student mu~t apply officially to the new department, using the standard Concentration Approval Form available at the College's Academic Advising Office in Lattimon: Hall.
Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Science
The requirements for the bachelor of science degree are the same as those for the B.A. degree, with these exceptions:
I. The number of courses which must be completed successfully varies from 32 to 36. Students should check the synopsis of requirements accompanying the ~ourse listing of those departments offering the B.S. degree.
2. Certain departments recommend specific languages for their B.S. candidates. Students should check the statement accompanying course offerings for details.
3. Normally course work taken outside the College of Arts and Science will not be accepted by departments offering the bachelor of science degree. Students should consult the department concerning the possibility of receiving credit for outside work.
All undergraduate students on the River Campus are enrolled in the College of Arts and Science fo r their first two years. In addition to offering the B.S. degree in several departments, the College of Arts and Science offers most of the preliminary work in programs leading to the bachelor of science degree conferred by the College of Engineering and Applied Science (majors in chemical engineering, electrical engineering, geomechanics, mechanical engineering, optics, and engineering and applied science) and the School of N ursing.

The Department of Anthropology offers programs of study leading to the B.A. , M.A., and Ph.D. degrees .
Anthropology the study of man as a member of society and as a bearer of culture and la nguage from a cross-cultural, comparative perspective--makes a vital contribution to a liberal education, providing a deeper insight into the nature of the person's experience as a social being. Concentrators in anthropology should be well prepared for professional study in the discipline itself, as well as for a career in a wide variety of public and private social services. Training in anthropology also provides valuable breadth fur students interested in economics, history, law, linguistics, medicine, nursing, political science, psychology, religious studies, or sociology.
General Course Information The Department offers courses in three major sub
fields of anthropology: 1. Social Anthropology- the description, analysis, a nd
comparison of social and cultural systems 2. Anthropological Linguistics 3. Archaeology, Ethnohistory and Human Evolution.
36 Arts and Science
200-level courses normally permit considerable give and take between faculty and students. Students in other fields are welcomed in all 200- and 300-level courses. For undergraduates at advanced levels, certain 400-level courses are open with permission of the instructor.
Requirement for Concentration in Anthropology- A total of 10 courses.
Concentrators normally are required to take Anthropology I 0 I and six to eight other anthropology courses. One of these additional courses may be a preceptorial (see page 33). In special circumstances a second preceptorial may be substituted for Anthropology 101. If two preceptorials are counted toward the concentration, they should be from different major subfields. It ts recommended that the concent.rator's program of courses above the I 00 level include the following: • At least two areal courses, including at least one in
social anthropology • At least three courses in theo ry and special prob
lems selected from at least two of the major subfields of anthropology.
Concentrators also are required to take two to four courses above the 100 level from related fields, such as Afro-American studies, Asian studies, biology, computer science, economics, English, fine arts, foreign languages, history, linguistics, philosophy, political science, psychology, religious studies, and sociology. The courses should be chosen in consultation with the departmenta l undergraduate adviser.
The Department welcomes students who wish to undertake Interdepartmental Programs in such fields as Asia n studies, religious studies, and urban studies. Interested students should consult the departmental undergrad uate adviser.
Recommended Sequence for Concentration • Stage One: Anthropology 101 and j or a preceptorial • Stage Two: At least two areal courses, including at
least one in social anthropology plus such other courses as may be desired . Anthropology 209 is most useful taken early in one's concentration.
• Stage Three: At least three courses in theory and special problems chosen from at least two of the major subfields.

Graduate students, in partial fulfillment of requirements for the Ph.D. degree, assist in the instructional programs as recitation leaders and laboratory teaching fellows.
The Department of Biology offers curricula leading to the B.A., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees. It also offers jointly with the Department of Geological Sciences a program leading to a B.S. degree in biology and geology (see page 81).
Of the courses listed below, some are specifically designed for nonmajors and do not carry credit toward a concentration in biology. These are the courses numbered 100 and 135. Biology 101, while intended for both majors and nonmajors, cannot carry concentration credit by Colkge regulations.
B.A. Program While most professions concerned with biology re
quire postbaccalaureate education, the Department recognizes that many majors will find careers outside profe~sional biology. To accommodate both of these educational goals, the degree requirements are purposely flexible, but some recommendations are made for those wishing to pursue a career in professional biology. The requirements for the B.A. degree are as follows:
• Mathematics--141, 142, and 143 or 150 a nd 151 or 161 a nd 162 or any combination resulting in completion of the course with the highest number of one of these sequences.
• Chemistry -Two years of chemistry are required. Thi> can be satisfied by CHM 125, 132, 133, and 134. For those students wishing to include a year of physical chemistry in their program, CH M 141 , 142, 20 I, 202, 203, or 204 will satisfy the degree requirements.
• Physics- 113 and 114 or 12 1 and 122 • Biology-six four-credit courses, including genetics
(BIO 221) and biochemistry (BIO 150 or IND 401).
42 Arts and Science
To assure laboratory experience, the six courses must include either two lecture-laboratory courses, or one lecture-laboratory course and BlO I 05, ur one advanced laboratory course such as BlO 362 or 3n. Only one BlO 391 course may be submitted for concentration credit.
For students contemplating a maJor in biology, the Department offers the following guiding remarks. Biology 101 provides a comprehensive introduction to the scope, concepts, and language of modern experimental biology. This course is not, however, a prerequisite for most other courses. The methods and concepts of genetics and biochemistry are basic to modern biology; BlO 221 (Genetics) and BIO 150 or lND 40 I (Biochemistry) should be taken early in the educational program. Genetics and biochemistry, together with the laboratory course (BlO 105), provide theoretical and practical preparation for work in the research laboratory.
The classical divisions of biology are populations, organisms, cells, and molecules. The student is advised to obtain educational breadth by taking courses dealing with at least three of these divisions. Finally, some specialization is also reasonable. and this can best be achieved by taking advanced courses in the senior year. Because there is no single route to a biology education, the faculty will be pleased to advise students personally concerning selection of courses.
Prospective majors are urged to begin satisfying the mathematics and chemistry requirements in the freshman year.
Many students will wish to explore additional areas of biology or study more deeply a particular area. Other students aspiring to graduate studies in fields such as biochemistry, physiology, or biophysics will need a stronger foundation in the physical sciences than the minimum requirements assure. Each major is urged to augment the minimum program in order to develop individual interests or improve prepara tion for graduate or professional study. Students should consult their advisers to ascertain the preparation appropriate to various specialties and to devise programs of study corresponding to their interests.
Honors Program in Biology Formal recognition of a bility and initiative in re
search is recognized by award of the B.A. in biology with honors. Students who carry out independent research projects (BlO 391) may be recommended for honors after successful completion and defense of a
written dissertation. Research projects may be sponsored by any faculty member in the Department of Biology. Additional information is available from the Biology Department Office.

The Department of Chemistry is co mmitted to the sc,a r,,h fo r new insights into problems in chemistry a nd to the presenta tion of our understa nding of chemistry to students a t a ll stages of the educa tio nal spectrum, from the beginner to the accomplished schola r. T hus, the Depa rtment presents programs of teaching and resea rch fo r undergraduate , graduate, a nd postdoctora l students. The size a nd a ttitudes of our Depa rt ment crea te a rich interplay a mong these programs. Each progra m stimula tes a nd nourishes the others. O ur research a nd teaching goals a re complementary a mbitio ns. We wa nt students to catch bo th our idea s a nd o ur enthusiasms. All faculty teach undergraduate students; a ll faculty a re actively involved in chemical research. A n undergraduate student gets the benefits of fac ilities a nd a community of faculty a nd students dedicated to the contempora ry ideas a nd pro blems in chemistry; the fac ulty values the challenges and the stimulat ion of p resenting the ir ideas to others a nd the co lla bo ra tion with students which leads to new understa nd ing. S tudents move easily through the spectrum of departmental activities. Undergraduates a re a n integral pa rt of the research programs of the Depa rtment; it is co mmon to find a la bora to ry with a n undergradua te, a graduate student , a postdoctora l student , a nd a faculty mem ber wo rking side by side. In a simila r fashion, some of the teaching progra ms in the Department involve faculty, postdoctoral students, g radua te st udents, a nd ad vanced undergrad uates wo rking as a tea m to present ideas a nd techniques to beginning students.
C hemistry is a rich a nd fa scina ting subject which ranges in concern from macromo lecula r biopo lymers to problems in suba tomic structure a nd o n time scales fro m eons to picoseconds. T he skills of chemists ra nge from sophist icated levels of mathema tical a bstractio n to the elega nt conception a nd executi o n involved in the synthesis of complex naturally-occurring mo lecules. The chemist's view of the a to mic a nd rrtlllecula r st ructure of the wo rld is one of the majo r inte llectual fo rces which sha pe modern thought. The chemi !>t\ skill a nd understa nding have revo lutio nized ma ny a reas of modern society, such as agriculture, clothing and shelter, health care, a nd energy resources. T he Depa rtment hopes, ot course, to prepa re a nd stimulate students to professiona l achievement a nd accomplishment in chemistry. At the same time, we recognize the funda mental na ture of o ur discipline and its proper
Chemistry 47
role as the bas is a nd complement to study and accomplishment in a host of other areas. A very large number of our students will find the ir fasc ina tions and aspira ti ons in related o r in terdisciplinary fie lds. We aim to )!ive them the insights a nd the skills in che mistry which will support their work in these a reas.
General Course Information T here a re three introductory chemistry course
sequences: (I) 125 a nd 126 fo rm a two-semeste r sequence designed fo r students desiring only o ne yea r of chemistry; (2) 125, 132, 133. a nd 134 form a fo ursemeste r sequence designed to provide two semesters of genera l chemistry a nd two semesters o f o rganic chemist ry fo r students inte rested in the health professio ns; a nd (3) 141 a nd 142 fo rm a two-semester sequence in genera l chemistry designed to provide the introductio n to the B.A . or B.S. degree progra ms in chemist ry. Beginning students enter Chemist ry 125 o r 14 1 according to thei r interes ts , a ptitudes, and prepa ra tion. T ha t choice is not critical, however, because the subseq uent courses, 126, 132, or 142, can be entered from e ither 125 o r 141. It is pa rticula rly impo rta nt to note tha t a prospective chemistry major with inadequa te mathematical prepara tion to ente r C hemistry 141 may take Chemistry 125 in the first semester. Satisfac to ry perfo rmance in 125 may then a llow a student to enter a co ncentra tion in chemistry by taking C hemistry 142 in the seco nd semester. T hus, the im porta nt cho ice of a sequence is delayed until the student has the be nefit of so me experience with co llege chemistry.
T he Depa rtment offe rs undergraduate progra ms leading to both B.A. a nd B.S . degrees. In genera l, the progra ms diffe r in the choice a nd timing of courses in the j unio r and senio r yea rs; a n early choice between progra ms is no t required. Between the two p rogra ms, t he student ca n a rra nge a chemistry major which covers the funda menta ls as essentia l background fo r a specific career in so me ot he r a rea, ta ilo r-made to suit specific in te rests of the pa rticular student , o r which provides rigorous and thorough prepara tion for professio na l wo rk in chemist ry.

vanced level and encourages a wide range of elective courses. It is pa rticularly suitable tor students with interdisciplinary scientific interests in the health professions, biology, physics, geological sciences, engineering, or education. B.A . students may elect advanced courses in chemistry, including independent research, and can, thereby, create a preprofessional curriculum best suited to their individual interest,. The B.A. program, therefore, does n<lt preclude a professional career in chemistry.

The Department of Preventive, Family, and Rehabilitation Medicine in the School of Medicine and Dentistry offers the Master of Science in Community Health Program which is designed to train students in community and regional health care planning, in health services research and evaluation , and in the broader aspects of medical care administration, wi th emphasis on comprehensive health care delive ry. The major goal ot the program is the career development of potential leaders in the fields of community health and medical care.
It i' a two-year program with emphasis on active involvement in health care programs and their evaluation and on field research in medical care. Required course, include:
PM 415. Applied Epidemiology.
PM 420. Introduction to Politics and Policy in the U.S. Health Care System.
PM 425. Management of Health Services.
PM 430. Medical Sociology.
PM 440. Methods of Medical Care Research.
PM 450. Organization and Delivery of Health Care Services.
PM 460. Health Services and Epidemiology Research (The Master's Essay).
PM 494. Special Topics: Statistics I and II.
Two projects, with written reports, are required of each student. One is an analytic and evaluative stud y of a health care delivery system in which the studen t is actually involved (PM 450), and the other, the master's e,;say, is a research project in the area of hea lt h services, using descriptive and analytic epidemiologic techmques (PM 460).
In ~: ddition, students are required to take 15 c red it hours of elective course work. A wide variety of electives is available in other disciplines in the University , such as economics, political science, sociology, systems analysis, and business administration. The Department of Preventive, Family, and Rehabilitatio n Medicine offers the following electives: PM 422 , Health Policy Studies; PM 417, Population Dynamics and Health; PM 431, Sociology of the Patient; a nd PM 253, Dilemmas in Healing.
Detailed descriptions of the required courses appear m the Handbook for the Master of Science· in Community Health Program and in the program brochure , both of which are available in the Department office room 4-5528 in the Medical Center, telephone numbe; 275-2831.
52 Arts and Science
The 3-2 Option A limited number of undergraduates may complete
the community health degree under a 3-2 option. Selected students will earn both a bachelor's degree in an undergraduate concentration and the M.S. in community health in five years. By satisfying most of the requirements for their undergraduate concentration in the first three years, the fourth-year students begin course work in the master's program by following the full-time first year and summer schedule of the graduate curriculum, with possible elective substitutions if work in statistics or the equivalent of PM 420 (such as PSC 239) already has been completed. In some instances students may need to use these elective spaces in the fourth year to complete undergraduate major course requirements. At the end of the fourth year students receive the bachelor's degree. The fifth year of the program is devoted to the completion of elective course requirements and a master's essay (e4uivalent to 12 credit hours). Students receive the M.S. degree from the School of Medicine and Dentistry at the end of the fifth year.
Students wishing to enter the 3-2 program in community health must apply to· the program in the spring of their junior year (sixth semester). At that time students should have satisfied College English, foreign language, and distribution requirements, all or most of their concentration requirements, and have taken some special work in health-related courses. Prospective students are strongly advised to complete at least one semester of college calculus during the first three years. Work in a concentration, preferably in economics, political science, or sociology (although these are not specifically required), normally entails eight to II courses.
In meeting the health-related course expectation, applicants to the combined degree program will be allowed considerable latitude. Depending upon prior or concurrent experience in the health field a nd other individual factors, candidates may present one, two, or more courses for consideration. These may be 5elected from among: LA / PM 116, Introduction to Community Health; PM / PSC 239, Introduction to Politics and Policy in the U.S. Health Care System; PM / REL/ SOC 253, Dilemmas in Healing; SOC 266, Medical Sociology; HIS 279, Health, Medicine, a nd Social Reform; and LA / PM 392, Health Services Practicum.
Applicants must submit the following information: written application with essay, at least two letters of recommendation, official grade reports, and the Grad-
uate Record Examination aptitude test scores. This information should be submitted by the beginning of March. Interviews will be part of the final selection process. In some cases, successful candidates would be advised to pursue some sort of health-related employment or placement/ tutorial experience during the summer after admission to the 3-2 program. Applications and additional information may be obtained from the M.S. Program Director, Dr. James Zimmer, Department of Preventive, Family, and Rehabilitation Medicir.e.
Collaborative Degrees Students may be interested in combining the M.S.
in community health with other degree programs offered within the University in order to prepare for certain types of careers. The following collabora tive programs are now offered: a three-year curriculum leading to both an M.S. in community health and a n M.B.A. offered by the Graduate School of Managemen:; a three-yea r curriculum leading to both a n M.S . in community health a nd a n M.S . in public policy offered by the College of Arts and Science; and a n M.S. in community health and a n M.D. wherein students combine master's courses as medical school electives and then take one year out from the medical school curriculum to complete the requirements for the M.S. degree. Further information may be obtained from the office of Dr. James Zimmer. Please note tha t it probably would not be feasible to pursue one of these combined degree programs through the 3- 2 option; rather, students will enroll after earning the bachelor's degree.

COMPUTER SCIENCE Students are encouraged to pursue undergraduate
degrees with a concentration in computer science that use the educationa l resources of the entire university, including the facilities at the University of Rochester Computing Center (see page 29).
In the College of Arts and Science, it is possible to design an undergraduate concentration within the Depa rtment of Mathematics (see page 96) which offe rs a program that will prepare students for gradua te work in computer science or employment involving the use of computers and the a pplica tion of a variety of mathematical techniques. Students may pla n an interdepartmental concentration (see page 91) that is uniquely structured for using education in computer science to study a particular discipline. Some students work out a general science concentration (see page 79) which gives the student a broad ed ucation in a ll the na tural sciences as well as computer science.
In addition, computer engineering may be studied through the College of Engineering and Applied Science in the Department of Electrical Engineering or m that college's Interdepartmental Program (see pages 146 and 151).
T he Graduate School of Management offers an oppo rtunity to earn the M.B.A. degree in a 3- 2 program with a concentration in computers and information systems (see page 170).
Advanced undergraduates have unusual opportunities to work directly with faculty members in the Department of Computer Science (see page 54) in academica lly challenging research projects where particular emphasis is currently being placed on the areas of artificia l intelligence, distributed computing, programming la nguages. a nd theory of computation.
Except for the computer engineering program, the decision to follow a particular track can be postponed until the end of the freshman year while pursuing introd uctory work in mathematics and science. However, students are encouraged to seek faculty advice about determining the area of study they wish to undertake.

The Department of Economics offers a program of study leading to the B.A. degree and, at the graduate level, to the M.A. and Ph.D . degrees.
The undergraduate program emphasizes the understanding of modern tools of economic analysis and their application to contemporary policy issues. Those completing the program should be adequately prepared for graduate work in economics a nd other profe>sional schools.
A substantial number of students complete their concentration requirements by the end of the junior year and apply to 3-2 programs in public policy analysis or in the Graduate School of Management (see the separate listings in this bulletin). If accepted, they begin graduate work in their senior year and obtain an M.S . or M.B.A. degree at the end of their fifth year.
Requirements for Concentration in Economics
Courses normally completed by the end of the sophomore year (before admission to the concentration) are as follows :
• One semester of calculus (Mathema tics 141, 150, 161 , or 17 I). Additional calculus (through 143, 152, I 62, 172, or beyond) is recommended.
56 Arts and Science
• One semester of probability and statistics; Statistics 165 (or 201) is strongly recommended. Statistics 211 or 212, while accepted, is weak preparation for Economics 231.
• Economics 207 and 209.
Additional courses and requirements: • Economics 231 • Five additional economics courses • A "C" average in the above economics courses • Two courses beyond the introductory level in an
allied field, subject to approval by the Director of Undergraduate Studies; the relation of these courses to one another and to the concentrator's program in economics will be considered.
• Graduation with high or highest distinction requires enrollment in the Senior Seminar as well as distinguished performance in other economics courses.

The Department of English offers work leading to a concentration for the B.A. degree and, at the graduate level, to the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees.
The program of concentration in English is designed to give students knowledge of English and American literary works in their historical and cultural contexts, and to develop critical abilities for reading in a variety of periods and genres.
A student preparing to concentrate in English should get in touch with the Department's Director of Undergraduate Study, usually early in the second semester of the sophomore year. Special programs are open to all prospective majors; arrangements may be m3de with the concentrator's adviser. If such a program necessitates an alteration of the requirements for the major, the student and his or her adviser should present the alternative program to the Committee on Undergraduate Study for consideration. Sophomores are encouraged to investigate such programs. All majors are urged to consult their advisers regularly to maintain a coherent program which benefits their particular interests.

Requirements for Film Studies The film studies program offers students a n oppor
tunity to explore motion pictures as art form and cultural phenomenon from a variety of departmental perspectives. Close, individual analysis of many great or significant films in the collection of the Film Studies Center in Rush Rhees Library is encouraged. Archival r~sources of the International Museum of Photography at George Eastman House are also avai lable to students.
A film studies major usually centers on either cinematography, the arts and disciplines creating motion pictures, or cinematology, the arts and disciplines comprehending them. A major consists of at least four courses in each of three categories (at least 12 altogether): l. Four courses beyond an introductory course spe
cifically studying the history and nature of motion pictures. T hese can include such courses as AH I 11 (Introduction to the History of F ilm), AH 11:! (Introduction to the Art of Film), AH 214 (Art of Motion Pictures), AH 391 (Independent Study in Art History), AH !50 and 250 (Dance History and Film), ENG 134 (Film Literature), ENG 244 (Film Criticism), ENG 241 (Popular F ilm Genres), ENG 391 (Independent Study), FR 134 (French Cinema), HIS 253 (The Soviet Union Through Film and Literature), and other listed film courses offered by

Film SLUdies 63
the Departments of E nglish, Fine Arts, Foreign Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics, History, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology. They can also include courses in film scoring offered at the Eastman School of Music, film making at Rochester Institute of Technology, and special courses offered elsewhere. These constitute the core courses of the concentratio n.
2. Four courses in une of the component arts or disciplines supporting motion picture study. These can include art history, music, drawing and painting, photography (history and studio practice), critical theory (aesthetics, literary criticism, or art criticism), creative writing, drama (history, criticism, or theater production), literature, history (especially contemporary social history), sociology (especially mass communications), or any other coherent group of courses that a student may justify as such. This requirement provides film students with knowledge in some depth of one related subject or critical methodology, informing and bringing authority to their study of the core film courses.
3. Four courses each from four other component or participating arts and disciplines or from sup portive fields such as psychology (especially perception and social psychology) or management.
An alternative plan for the major may be proposed under advisement.
Film maj o rs should also plan to include for their senior year an independent reading or research course or a n independent project calling upon the knowledge a nd discrimination acquired while completing these requirements.

A sur11lt!mentary staff' of part-time faculty o{ approx.'ma!f'lr IU persons, along with three f oreign exchange students from France and Germany and about three graduate a~sislants, are assigned to aid in tho inslruction of' basic languages.
The Department . of Foreign Languages, Litera tures, and Linguistics believes that the active use o f a foreign language underlies the training of its students, whether they plan a concentra tion in the Department, plan entry into secondary school teaching or graduate work, )r intend to use their language training as ancillary :o another field.
The Department welcomes nonconcentrators into literature in translation, foreign language, and linguistics courses. Careful attention is given to the placement of students into the appropria te introductory language courses. Placement is based upon the student's background, CEEB, and University placement tests.
For original language courses some requirements may b·~ waived for nonconcentrators, i.e., they will usually be allowed to write their papers in English. For ~tudents who have sufficient background and skills, 131 may be recommended as a first step. All students are encouraged to consult the Department's advisers.
Concentration Programs fhe Department offers course work and concen
trations toward the B.A. degree in Chinese, French , German, Russian, Spanish, and linguistics; it offers additional course work in classics, Hebrew, Ital ian , Japanese, and various literatures in tra nslation; it offers concentrations toward the B.A. degree in compara tive literature and foreign literature. The Department also offers the M .A. and Ph.D . degrees on the gra juate level.
A number of programs are adapted to the interests and pr<:paration of individual students. Students may focus their interest on a national literature, they may combine the study of a national literature with courses in translation in a related field , and they may a lso combine work in two national literatures leading to a concentration in comparative literature. Literature courses are designed to develop the student's sensitivity to literature in all of its manifestations.
Students who wish to concentrate in a foreign language are encouraged to branch out into the respective national literature and acquire an understanding of the basic facts of linguistics and of the linguistic analysis of language. Linguistics majors are encouraged to become fluent in at lt::ast one language. The facilities of established labo ra tories are used in the training of students in language teaching and in linguistics: the Verbal Behavior Laboratory, the Phonetics Laboratory, and the Language Services Center, including the Programmed Learning Studio.
Concentrators in a national literature are given the opportunity to get acquainted with the whole range of literature they are studying. They are encouraged to acquire a strong knowledge of the language in which they will work as early as possible in their academic career. ln French, German, and Spanish upper level courses, the reading and most of the writing and lecturing will be in the original language. Concentrators are strongly urged to enlarge their background for literary studies by taking related courses in history, fine arts , music, philoso phy. and English lite rature.
The Department encourages the Study Abroad Program for qualified students.
The Department also offers unique opportunities for study and work ahroad in programs under its own jurisdiction. A ny senior or graduate student at the University is eligible for two separate exchange fellowship programs as long as he or she has the appropria te la nguage preparation. The Department a nnually sponsors two exchange fellowships to the University of Cologne (Germany) and one exchange fe llowship to the University of Haute-Bretagne (Rennes, France); the awards cover full tuition and living expenses for one academic year. In addition, the Department administers a summer job program at Kodak , Germany in Stuttgart fo r two students every year; any undergraduate with basic fluency in German is e ligible.

The Committee on General Science supervises a program leading to the B.A. degree which gives the student a n opportunity to acquire a broad education in the natura l sciences and at the same time to devote approxima tely half of his or her time to the study of the humanities and social sciences. The program is especially well suited for the student who wishes to prepare to teach science at the secondary school level. It is also attractive to the premedical student who wishes a broad general preprofessional education. Students who are planning to enter medical school after only three years of undergraduate work should consider this program.
A degree may be awarded with a d o uble concentration in general science and another natural science, provided that the area of specialty in general science is not the same as the other concentration.

Although Geological Sciences is one o f the smallest departments in the College of Arts and Science, it provides its students with distinctive degree p rograms and with excellent opportunities fo r communicating and working with its faculty members a nd graduate students, both in and outside the classroom. Each of the degree programs has been designed to serve special inte rests of the students and the particular demands associated with professional work in various areas of the earth sciences.
The degree programs include the B. A. a nd B.S. programs in geology, the B.S. in biology-geology (BIG), and the B.S. in geomecha nics (GEM). The three B.S. programs are designed to give students the background for graduate work a nd professional careers in the earth sciences, a nd in those a reas in which the earth sciences overlap with the life sciences on the one hand and with engineering on the other. The B.A. p rogram is designed to allow more flexibility in program design and is pursued not only by students preparing fo r graduate work in the earth sciences but also by students interested in law, management, and teaching. These students commonly carry double majors; geology a nd economics is a current example. Students planning graduate work or ca reers in environmental and resource management have found each of the various degree programs to be an appropriate avenue to such work and caree rs.
These programs are made possible by formal and informal linkages with other departments and programs, especia lly the Department of Biology, the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Sciences, and the Committee on Individualized Interdepartmental Concentrations. In addition, the Department has been affiliated since 1972 with the West Indies
Laboratory on St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands and has offered a program at the West Indies Laboratory since 1972. Students participating in this program spend a semester at the laboratory studying marine geology and marine biology and receive a full semester of credit for their work.
The Department considers field experience to be a valuable part of geological training a nd incorpo rates field trips into the regular schedule of many of the undergraduate courses. Students take excursions to Maryland and New England.
The Undergraduate Student Geological Organization (USGO) is active in providing special field trips, speakers from other universities and colleges, and social events throughout the academic year. Undergrad uates are also involved with departmental research projects working with faculty in a variety of fields, including geophysics, geochemistry, paleobiology, petro logy, structural geology, stratigraphy, and environmental geology.
Students may also develop their own interdisciplinary programs to obtain the training needed for their graduate a nd professional work . Students considering interdepartmental programs in environmental studies or regional planning m<Jy consult departmental faculty who have served as advisers in these programs. Graduate work and careers in most fields demand a broad general background in the basic sciences and mathematics, and students are strongly advised to take courses beyond the minimum requirements in these subjects. All students are encouraged to gain a proficiency in reading scientific material written in any of a number of foreign langu<~ges .

Professor Emeritus ol History The Department of History utilizes 10 to 15 teaching
assistants in large lecture courses as graders or section leaders.
The Department of History offers programs of study leading to the B.A. degree and to the B.A. degree with distinction (and, on the graduate level, to the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees). Nonmajors are welcome in all history courses and often become enthusiastic, succes3ful students of history while pursuing other vocations. The history major is valuable not only for secondary and university teaching, but also for careers in law and politics.
The Department offers a wide range of courses in its undergraduate program, incorporating social, economic, intellectual, political, and psychological approaches to historical problems and periods. The Survey of Western Civilization 101 and 102 and the preceptorials in the 190 range are intended for first-year students considering concentrations in the Department. Most 100- to 200-level courses in the Department arc accessible to students with a wide variety of backgrounds. In addition, the faculty offers 300-level seminars and courses designed for concentrators or other students interested in exploring more specialized historical problems. With approval, selected seniors may take 400-level graduate seminars.
The Department offers three geographical areas of concentration (Europe, the United States, and the Third World) and interdisciplinary concentrations in the History of Women in Culture and Society and in the History of Law in Society. The Department maintains advisers in all five areas. In addition, student~ may plan their own special area concentrations in consultation with the departmental Director of Undergraduate Studies. Such programs must be coherent and intellectually defensible.
Requirements for a Concentration in History Before admission to concentration in history, stu
dents must satisfactorily complete at least two history courses. Students may then count these two courses toward fulfillment of the history concentration requirenent, which consists of a total of 12 courses (or 48 credit hours), including: • Eight to 10 history courses (or 32 to 40 credit hours) • Five history courses (or 20 credit hours) in the stu
dent's geographical area of concentration • Two to four courses in an allied field, of which at
least two must be nonintroductory. Political science, English, foreign languages and literatures, philosophy, psychology, and sociology are the most common allied fields.
Requirements for a Concentration in the History of Women in Culture and Society
Concentrators in the History of Women in Culture and Society will have the opportunity to explore a wide range of topics, focusing on the changing functions of women in particular societies and historical eras, and on their important contributions to general culture both as individuals and as members of a social order. Traditional historical knowledge and technique will provide the basis for students' inquiries, but the concentration is an interdisciplinary one and will therefore encourage the sampling and employment of a variety of nonhistorical perspectives and methods.
Concentration requirements consist of 12 courses (or 48 credit hours). Students should prepare a twopage essay outlining a coherent program and expla ining the rationale behind their course choices, which must include: • Six to eight history courses (or 24 to 32 credit hours) • Four to six courses (or 16 to 24 credit hours) related
to the history of women in two or more a llied fields.
In addition, the Department urges students to include in their programs a 300- or 400-level seminar, preferably on some aspect of the history of women or the family.
Requirements for Distinction in History To graduate with distinction in history, students
must complete the concentration program described above and meet the fo llowing additional requirements: • A departmental cumulative grade-point average of
3.2 or other demonstration of outstanding work in history
• Satisfactory work in at least two 300-leve l history seminars
• A distinctive essay of high quality, approximately 35 pages in length. The essay may be a seminar paper, further researched and suita bly expanded, or it may be the product of History 393 (Senior Project). In addition to the student's adviser, a second reader will evaluate the essay.
Other Departmental Regulations • T ransfer students must take at least four courses
in the Department, thus meeting half the concentration requirements in residence.
• No more than one University College course and no more than two courses in an approved summer
History 85
school may count toward concentration credit; adviser's approval is necessa ry.
Courses of Instruction It should be noted tha t not all of the fo llowing courses
are taught each yea r. Students should take this into consideration when planning their programs.

Mathematics tc1day is one of thl: most pl:rvasive modes of thought indeed a striking intellectual phenomenon of the past several decades is the utilization <lf mathematiC> in field s far removed from the traditional L>nes of the physical sciences and engineering. Sume ot th is mathematics is "new," invented by mathematicians and others for the purpose ot mathematical :;tJdy of a new field, as, for example, mathematical game theory and economics; some of it depends on new technology, as with computerized taxor.omv or mathematical simulatiOn of biological ~ystcms; som~ ot it is "old" mathematics t inding new uses, such <\S the mathematical study of l:pidemics and birth-and-death processes. M at hematics has even found applications in fields as seernmgly remote as political sc1ence and anthropology. In turn, each new area ,Jf application is an additiL•nal stimulus to mathematics itself
The Ldferings of the Department of Mathematics arc intended lL1 renect this diversity.
Studeuts planning to concentrate in almost any of the University's libera l arts progmms, in addition to those which require some college mathematics, will find one o r more courses or sequence offerings in the Department of Mathematics a valuable complement to their fi eld of interest. Students are urged to consult the departmental advisers of both mathematics and their own intended area of concentration about courses in mathematics which may be useful for their educational and career goals, and to begin the necessary or recommended courses as early as possible.

Mathematics 95
Course Information lhere are four freshman-sophomore sequences in
mathematical analysis:
• lhe sequence !50, 151 , 152, 163, 164 is especially intended tor students in the social and life sciences. The three courses 150, 151, and 152 contain most of the material in 161, 162, a nd several top ics in elementary probability and finite mathemat ics not normally considered part of a calculus course.
• Students in the phys ical and engineering sciences normally choose the sequence 161, 162, 163, !64.
• The sequence 141. 142, 143, !63, 164 is intended for students who require a less fast-paced calculus seq uence than 161 , 162. The three courses 141. 142, 143 contain all of t he m a teria l of 16! , 162 a nd prepare students for 163 and !64.
The preceding sequences may be entered with advanced standing and credit by students who do sufficiently well on a CEEB advanced placem.:nt examination. Mathematics 161 and !64 may be taken in either order.
• The sequence 171. 172, 173, 174 is an accelerated analysi> sequence lor students interested in preparing for advanced work in pure or applied mathematiL·s, and requires special permission. Five credits will be granted tor each course satisfactori ly completed (instead of the usual tour credits) and, on applica tion, students majoring in mathematics may be excused trom the requirement of MTH 235.
Great care is taken to insure correct placement in the appropriate mathematics sequence during Freshman Orientation. Placement is based upon high school background and national and University p lacement tests . In addition, once L·lasses have begun, students may choose, or the instructo rs may advise, t ransfer to a more suitable sequence when considered app ropriate.
Other introductor) courses include Mathematics !30 and 131 . These are especially recommended for s tudents intt'nding to pursue concentrations in the humanities.
Concentration Programs In addition to concentration programs in pure and
a pplied mathe matics, the Department offers a program in secondary mathematics education. There also is a joint concentratton program in mathematics and statistics, details of which are given on page 135.
96 Arts and Science
The concentration in pure and applied mathematics requires, in the 10-coursc group known as " the major,"' six to eight mathematics courses numbered 200 ,,r h1gher, of which MTH 235, MTH 236, and MTH 265 are specified. Of these, MTH 235 must be cLHnpkted by the end of the first semester of concentration; that is, by the end of the first semester ot the junior year in virtually all cases. In addition, a fourth cour~t, in analysis ,.,r applied mathematics, must be chosen from M f H 20 I, MTH 263, M IH 266, MTH 280, MTH 28 1, MTH 282, or MTH 288. The other two to f,Jur mathematics courses are electives, according to the inter·· est~ ,.,r the student, and the balance of the 10 n,Jnelementary courses constituting thL' major must be chosen from a depart menr-approwd allied field. The entire proposed major is usua lly worked out with departmental advice during the spring of the sophomore year, th,,ugh it may be changed later on.
Students intending graduate work in mathematics, or work in a physical science application of mathematics, are urged to consider MT H 281 , 282,266, a nd 201 as electives. Students intending graduate wo rk in economics, business administration, or operatio nal mathematics, or work in a fie ld such a·s systems analysis, are urged to consider MTH 20 I, 202, 207, 208. Students particularly interested in computer science should elect MTH 288 and EE 200, noting tha t CSC o r EE 100 is an elementary prerequisite to later W<lrk in computer science; consideration should particularly be given to MTH 280, MTH 28o, a nd other crosslisted courses as electives.
The secondary education concentration is designed to prepare teachers of secondary school mathematics. It includes the Teacher Educatio n Sequence in ~ec
ondary school mathematics offered in the Graduate School of Education and Human Development and eight (rather tha n 10) courses numbered 200 or higher in ma thematics and a de partment-a pproved allied field. Six or more of the eight must be in mathematics, including MT H 235, MTH 2J6, and MTH 265 . Electives may be chosen at will, but prospective teachers arc advised to elect, where possible, co urses in logic, geometry, theory of numbers, a nd computer science.
The I 0 courses which constitute one of the majors in mathematics do not exhaust the student's time in the junior and swior years. Prospective graduate stu-
dents in mathematics, for example, would do well to learn to read a foreign language (French, Germa n, o r Russian). Other mathematical careers involve a considerable preparation in (among others) a reas such as physics, bio logy, engineering, and economics.
S ince the "allied field" req uirement in a mathema tics major is minimal, students a re urged to consult departmental advisers concerning su ita ble course work, even in elective fields of stud y which seem a t first glance to be quite distant from mathematics.
Below are some typical examples o f concentration programs. These are intended as suggestive, no t prescriptive.

T he bachelor of science degree program in microbiology is an interco llegiate academic program which provides undergraduates with a diagnostic and medical background in microbiology. This cooperative program, in which the resources of the Department of Microbi o logy of the School of Medicine and Dentistry a nd the C linical Microbiology Laboratories of Strong Memorial Hospita l are available to undergradua te concentra to rs in the College of Arts a nd Science, improves education in the health sciences a nd responds to the growing needs of modern health care.
Students earning the B.S. in microbiology at the end of the fourth year will possess a strong foundation in the basic introducto ry sciences (chemistry, bio logy, biochemistry), related areas (mathematics a nd physics), microbiology, a nd libera l arts . Students choosing the medical m icrobiology track will be well prepared to continue graduate education m microbiology,

another biological science area, or a health cart> pro·· fession. Bachelor of science graduatt>s following the clinical microbiology track in their fourth year will be eligible to begin careers in a diagnostic laboratory, since the clinical microbiology track meets the requirements of the American Academy of Microbiology for certification as a Specialist in Public Health and Medical Microbiology.
Microbiology Concentration The program is designed primarily for those with
an interest in the natural sciences and will probably be most attractive to those whose career interests are in the health professions or biological s..:iences. Students should apply for admission to the concentration toward the end of their sophomore year. Applications will be reviewed by the Department of Microbiology. Criteria for consideration may include the academic record, recommendations from faculty members. and a personal interview.
During the junior and senior years, advisers from the Department of Microbiology will supervise a concentrator's progress. With satisfactory performance and completion of degree requirements, they will recommend the student for the degree of B.S. in microbiology. This degree will be awarded by the College of Arts and Science.
Master's programs are offered by the Department of Microbiology, and the M.S. degrees will be awarded by the School of Medicine and Dentistry. Information on the graduate programs in microbiology is in the Graduate Studies Bulletin.
Requirements for Concentration in Microbiology
During the freshman and sophomore years, students considering a concentration in microbiology are advised to complete the following courses, all of which are requirements for the B.S. in microbiology:
• Four semesters of chemistry, including two semes-ters of organic chemistry

Additional details concerning the music concentration are available from the Music Adviser in the Music Office, Wilson Commons.
Music concentrators may enroll in any course listed in the supplement to the Official Bulletin of the Eastman School of Music.
Instruction in Music Courses in music .history and music theory are of
fered by the College of Arts and Science in cooperation with the Eastman Schoo l of Music.
M U R 101, 102, Ill, and 112 are re4uired for the concentrators in music and also are open to other students in the College of Arts and Science as electives. During the first day of class a theory placement examination is given to students provisionally enrolled in Theory 101 to determine if they have sufficient background to take the course. Music history courses offered at the River Campus are not open to students who are concentrating in music, but are open to all other River Campus students.
Courses offered at the Eastman School of Music a re open to all College of Arts and Science students who have the proper prerequisites. Credit will be awarded according to the system used at the Eastman School of Music. However, for students who are not concentrating in music, the first two three-credit courses are given full credit; music concentrators receive full credit for the first four three-credit courses.
Private Instrumental and Vocal Instruction
The opportunity exists for students who are not music majors to enroll in private instrumental or vocal instruction at the Eastman School of Music.
Credit Lessons
Each year approximately 200 nonmusic concentra tors on the River Campus take private instrumenta l or vocal lessons for credit at the Eastman School. All nonmusic concentrators who have had at least one yea r of formal instruction (or the equivalent) in an instrument or in voice are encouraged to apply to take credit lessons. Auditions are required for students who are registering for this study for the first time and are held during the first three days of c lasses each semester. Auditio n a ppointments must be scheduled in adva nce through the Registrar's Office, Eastman School of Music. Applications for applied music instruction are available in the Music Office, Wilson
104 A rts and Science
Commons. Students currently enrolled and making satisfactory progress in applied music need not a udition again, if they wish to continue lessons the fo llowing semester; they must have their registrations approved personally by the Eastman School's Associa te Director for Academic Affai rs.
During the semester, students meet with their instructo rs once a week for 30 minutes. T he add it ion of a two-credit priva te lesson to a normal 16-cred it-hour semester is not considered a n overload , and there is neither a fee no r an add itional tuition cha rge. No more than eight credit hours of a pplied instruction may be counted toward a degree by nonconcentrators.
Non-Credit Lessons
It is possible fo r a limited number of students to take lessons without credit. These may be arranged independently by enrolling d irectly with the Preparatory Depa rtment of the Eastma n School of Music. Since the cost of this type of instruction is not included in the regular college tuition, the students wi ll be billed d irectly by the Eastman School. College grades will not be allowed for this work under any circumstance, nor will any entry regarding it be made on the student's permanent record.

*Not open to music concentrators.
University has had an NROTC unit on campus since 1946. The NROTC Program is open to both male and female students. Any student may enroll in courses offered by the Department of Naval Science.
Students participate in the NROTC P rogra m in oric of three options:
1. NROTC SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM students are s..:lected by national competition. Applications may be obtained from the Department of Naval Scienc~ and must be mailed by early November for enrollment in the following fa ll semester. Students are subsidized by the Navy for tuition, fees, te'<tbooks, and uniforms, and they receive a subsistence allowance o f $100 per month during the academic year. Scholarship students may withdraw from the program at their own request without obligation at any time prior to the beginning uf the junior year. Thereafter, the student is obligated to accept a commission as Ensign, USN, or Second Lieutt:nant, USMC, upon graduation and to serve on active duty for a minimum of four years.
2. NRO"I C COLLEGE PROGRAM is available to all freshmen and sophomores and is specifically designed to provide an opportunity for students to earn a commission. Students arc welcome to apply lor the program by contacting any member of the Department of Naval Science for details.
College Program students receive uniforms and a subsistence allowance of $100 per month during the junior and senior yea rs. College Program students are eligible to enter the natio na l scholarship competition and, if successful, become Scholarship students. As in the case of Scholarship students, College Program students incur a service obligation upon beginning their junior year. They must agree to accept a commission as Ensign, USN R, or Second Lieutenant, USMCR, upon graduatio n and to serve thereafter on active duty for three years.
3. TWO-YEAR COLLEGE PROGRAM students may apply for the program by submitting their applications to the Professor of Naval Science. Sophomores who have two yea rs ol study remaining (including two summers) prior tu receiving a baccalaureate c•r higher degree are eligible to apply. Students sekcted for the Two-Year Program a ttend the Naval Science Institute for about six weeks during July a nd August at the Nava l Education and Training Center, Newport , Rhode Island .

Approximately J() J?raduate students working toward the Ph. D. will serve as assistants.
The Department of Philosophy offers programs leading to the B.A. degree, as well as to the M.A. and the Ph.D. degrees.
A wide variety of points of view and interests is represented by the faculty of the Department of Philosophy. The specific problems discussed in undergraduate courses are the traditional ones of the theory of knowledge, metaphysics, ethics, social philosophy, philosophy of science, etc. The techniques brought to bear on these problems are primarily historical or analytical and logical. Although there are approaches to philosophy that are not currently represented in the Department (phenomenology, existentialism, Eastern philosophy), the breadth of the offerings is such as to provide an excellent foundation for graduate work in philosophy. Some students also go on to work in biology, English, history, mathematics, law, and medicine. Double majors are encouraged.
Students who wish to do graduate work in philosophy are strongly urged to take work in 300-level undergraduate seminars. A second logic course is recommended. With the permission of the instructor, undergraduate majors may be admitted to graduate semmars.
The bachelor's degree with distinction is offered on recommendation of the Department and based on the grade-point average and quality of work in undergraduate seminars and independent study.
Philosophy can be considered relevant to almost any program or concentration in the University. Within the humanities, philosophy has had as long and as influential a career as literature; many of the problems it addresses are problems which have aroused the interest and concern of many of the most powerful thmkers in the Western tradition.

The Department of Physics and Astronomy provides a spectrum of opportunities for undergrad uates ranging from introd uctory courses for the nonscientist to complete degree programs leading to the B.A. and B.S. in physics or in physics and astronomy. Because of its active programs leading to degrees at the master's and doctoral levels, numerous advanced courses are available to the undergraduate seeking an education in depth.
Freshman and sophomore students wishing eventua lly to major in physics or astronomy are urged to express their intent to the Department, whe reupon they will be assigned a departmental adviser. However, following general College policy, students are not fo rmally accepted as physics or astronomy concentrators unti l the end of their sophomore year.
Astronomy programs are described on page 113.
General Course Information Of particular interest to students not majoring in
the natural sciences are Physics 100, Astronomy 102,
and Astronomy 104, each a broad survey requmng no special background. For those desiring a working knowledge of basic physics, Physics 113-114 and Physics 121-123 are appropriate, both requiring a background in high school science and mathematics. The introductory sequence for students intending to major in physics or astronomy is 12 1, 122, 123 or 133, 134, 135, 136.
It is possible for students to enter the physics sequences with advanced standing, based on scores on an Advanced Placement test and an interview.
Concentration in Physics The B.S. degree in physics is intensive and will
provide strong preparation for any gradua te school in physics or a closely rela ted science. The B.A. program is appropriate fo r students desiring a broader academic experience. It a lso provides flexibility in planning, as might be requi red, fo r example, in a joint degree with another department.
General Requirements Most requirements for the firs t two years of the B.A. and B.S. degrees are the same: • An introd uctory physics sequence: 12 1, 122, 123 or
133, 134, 135, 136 or 121, 135, 136 with corresponding laboratory courses 181, 182, 183. The second sequence covers the same material as the first, but at a deeper physical and mathematical level. Students are encouraged to enter the 130 sequence as early as possible.
• Four terms of mathematics: 161, 162, 163, 164 or 171, 172, 173, 174
• In the B.S. program only, two introductory courses in the natural sciences other than physics and mathematics (Group Ill). This requirement does not apply to the B.A. program, but may be an option (see under B.A. program, below).
The B.A. and B.S. programs of study should be planned by the student in consultation with the departmental adviser at the end of the sophomore year and are subject to departmental approval.
B.A. Program
Requirements beyond the first two years:
• Five semesters of 200-level physics or astronomy courses. If more than one is astronomy, the physics and astronomy degree may be more appropriate .
•
r
• Two additional courses which can be 200-Jevel physics courses, 200-level mathematics courses, o r other science or engineering courses (not necessarily a t the 200 level).
B.S. Program
Requirements beyond the first two years:
• Eight courses in physics a t the 200 level or beyo nd, including at least one term of Adva nced Laboratory (243, 244); 2 17, 218, 227, 235 , 238, 247, and one o f the 250-series courses a re recommended . The la tter covers specia lized subjects such as nuclea r a nd particle physics, solid state physics, bio physics, physics and modern technology, and energy environment. Other a reas can be arra nged as independent study.
• Two courses in advanced ma thematics: MTH 28 1, 282 or MAS 201 , 202 are recommended .

The Department uses six to eight teaching assistants in PSC !OJ and 102.
The Department of Political Science offers programs leading to the B. A. degree, the B.A. degree with honors, a nd, at the gradua te level, the M.A. , M.S . (public policy), and Ph.D. degrees.
Social science, as a whole, offers generalizations about hu man behavior, motives, interactions, goa ls, etc. It differs thus from those approaches tha t interpret unique events. In order to teach students how to genera lize, the program in political sc ience offers instruction about both theory and testing theory against detai ls observed in the polit ica l world. This co ntrasts with instruction in political science in ma ny other universities where there is little instruction on how to generalize. These ge nera lizations are d esigned
to explain the principles that underlie the reality of politics.
Political science, as one of several social sciences, is concerned with a particular kind of social interaction and human goals, namely, the conflict involved in attempting to enforce certain moral and materia l values. Since this interaction, which is often called the pursuit of power or the attempt to win, usually takes place in the setting of governmenta l institutions, the program of the Department offers instruction about political conflict in a variety of settings: local and national political systems, and the international world .
The ultimate purpose of this program is, like the pu rpose of a ll science, to help students understand more profoundly some features of the natura l world. In this sense it is simply one among many liberal studies. But it a lso has a professional application, in the sense that the portion of nature studied is of particular interest to those pla nning a career in law, government, and business management. To this end, the Department offe rs a 3-2 Program in public policy analysis, in which a student can earn both a bachelor's degree in his or her undergrad uate major and a master's degree in policy analysis in five years. F urthermore, the Department sponsors a number of internship opportunities with the district attorney and public defender locally, the state legislature, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the British House of Commons.
General Course Information Political Science 101 and 102 are recommended,
but not required, for concentration. Only one of these courses may be co unted toward the total requirement for concentration.
Concentration Requirements in Political Science
A total of II courses:
I. Eight courses in politica l science of which at least seven must be beyond I 02. Of the seven advanced courses, four must be distributed a s fo llows: a. One course in Techniques of Ana lysis. PSC 200
or 20 1 is recommended, bu t this requirement may a lso be satisfied by either Stat istics 165 or 2 11. S tudents should attempt to fulfill this requirement be fore the end of the fi rst semester of their junio r year.
b. One course in Political Theory c. One- course in e ither American Politics or Public
Policy d. On<:' course in either Comparative Politics or
International Relations.
2. ThreC' courses constituting an allied field. These courses should usually come from offerings at the 200 level or higher, but in some instances 100-level courses may be acceptable. A list of approved 100-kvcl courses is available from the departmental aJviser. /\II allied field courses will typically he taken in the: same department, but an allied field which is composed of a mixture of courses from different departments can be substituted with the permission of the departmenta l adviser.
The 3-2 Program in Public Policy Analysis Many individuals are motivated to study the social
sciences by the possibility of eventually pursuing careers related to some phase of the development, implementation, or evaluation of public policy. Currently there is a large unmet demand for sophisticated analysts with such .::areer interests. The Public Policy \nalysis Program is an interdisciplinary prog ram designed to devdop the mixture of skills required by individuals who wish to enter this field. The training combines the analytical methods of economics and politic:.tl science, statistical techniques, knowledge of particular substantive areas, and practical experience.
The program, which leads to an M.S. (public po licy) degree, normally requires two years to complete. However, a limited number of undergraduates also may take the program as a 3-2 option. Students interested in this program should consult the Public Policy Analysis Program description on page 125. Applications and further information can be obtained in Harkness Hall 312.

Seminars in Political Science and the Honors Program
Qualified students are urged to consider taking a 300-leve l seminar during the junior or senior year. These seminars carry eight hours of credit since they require more than the usual amount of work. Enrollment requires permission of the instructor. Classes will be a mixture of graduate and undergraduate students and will typically number about I 0.
Students wishing to graduate with hunors in political science must fulfill the normal requirements of the undergraduate major and must in addition undertake an honors project by enrolling either in PSC 393 or in at least one 300-level seminar. Such courses may be counted toward the completion of the normal requirements of the major. Typically, the project will involve a paper describing the results of the work, but the project itself may involve data analysis, library research, or the completion of an experiment or survey. The project may be part of the normal work for a 300-level seminar. However, to be eligible for honors the project must be evaluated by at least two members of the Department, after which the student will make an oral presentation of the results before Department members. The Department will collectively administer the honors requirements and make n:commendations for the level of honors to be awarded. Applications for the honors program should be submitted during the spring of the junior year.
Students are urged to make plans well in advance, since not all seminars will be offered every year.

NOTE: As is customary, an instructo r's prima ry a ppointment is in the department listed first after his name.
The Department of Psychology offers programs of study leading to B.A. and Ph .D . degrees.
Instruction is offered throughout the broad spectrum of behavior-related science. Its content covers technical, theoretical, and empirical presentatio ns of psychology as a biological science and as a social science. Application of these various aspects of the discirline to health and to the helping professions is a common theme. Student experiences may range from large lecture courses to individua l labo ratory and practicum situations. Individual programs may be _ tailored to provide excellent background for post- "'"' graduate work in psychology, medicine, educat ion, social work, law, and other related social and natural sciences.
Students planning to pursue graduate studies in psychology are advised to seek a broad foundation in such closely related disciplines (biology, chemistry, mathematics, philosophy, sociology, education) as may be appropriate to their individual goals a nd interests. Further, they are strongly advised to enroll in lahoratory courses and individually supervised resear~h work.
In addition to standard course offerings, students may pursue their interests throug h individua l reading and research arrangements with faculty. Course credit may be obtained for these activ ities. While most special offerings are aimed at students intending to do graduate work in psychology or related disciplines, Jther interested students are not excluded. Research
projects may be considered, with departmental permission, as evidence supporting the award of the B.A. wilh distinclion.
An undergraduate student may register for graduate-level courses with the permission of his or her adviser and the course instructor.
General Course Information Successful completion of the introductory survey
course m psychology is a prerequisite to all other courses in psychology and to acceptance in the concentration program. This requirement may also be met by passing an exemption exam.
Laboratory courses and practica are designed primarily, but not exclusively, for the concentrator in psychology and other behavioral sciences.
Areas are indexed by the second digit in the course numbers. Courses numbered in the 20's through 50's are Natural Science psychology courses and fall into the College Distribution Group III. Courses numbered in the 60's through 80's are Social Science psychology course' and fall into the College Distribution Group II. An mdependent study course will be classified in one of these areas and also in Group ll or Group Ill , according to its content.
Requirements for Concentration in Psychology 1. Psychology 101 or the equivalent. This require
ment must be completed before a student will be accepted as a concentrator.
2. An acceptable statistics course, preferably by the end of the sophomore year. Statistics 211 is recommended, but Statistics 165, 212, or 202- 203 may also meet this requirement. Students whose plans do not include postgraduate work in psychology or related sciences may obtain special permission to use Statistics 145.
3. A minimum of I 0 courses in addition to Psychology 10 I and statistics, of which six to eight are from psychology and two to four are from an allied field. The minimum of six psychology courses may not include independent study courses numbered 390 through 395. No more than two psychology courses may be transferred from other colleges.
4. The psychology courses must include at least two from each of two sets of core courses: 121, 141, and 151; 161, 171, and 181.
Psychology 121
5. A student wishing to concentrate in psychology must supply, with the application, a brief written statement establishing the logical and meaningful relationship of his or her allied field courses to each other and to the proposed psychology courses. Given this relationship, the allied field courses may be from any other departments in the University.
Further information about psychology, including faculty advisers, faculty research interests, and postgraduate opportunities, may be obtained during scheduled advising hours in the Psychology Building, Room 311.

The Public Policy Analysis Program offers interdisciplinary training to individuals interested ll1
analysis or leadership careers in the design, evaluation, and implementation of public policies. These careers may be in either government or related private companies. The program, which generally requires two years to complete, leads to an M.S. (public policy) degree. Students are encouraged to complete an internship m a government agency between the first and the: second year.
The core curriculum develops tools and techniques generally needed by all analysts, regardless of specialization or areas of interest. The following courses fulfill the core requirements:
PPA 207. Microeconomic Theory.
PPA 404. Introduction to Statistical Methods.
PPA 405. Multivariate Statistical Methods.
PPA 406. Design and Analysis of Survey Studies.
PPA 430. Public Policy Research Methods.
PPA 43I, 432. Public Policy Workshop I, II.
PPA 433. Public Policy Modeling.
In addition to the core curriculum, students must complete eight elective courses. These courses develop analytical approaches and techniques in more detail and provide for some experience and specialization in
Public Policy Analysis 125
particular substantive areas. These courses are usually drawn from PPA courses or courses in the Department of Political Science, Department of Economics, and Graduate School of Management: however, they need not be restricted to these. A minimum of two electives must consider governmental decision making and political processes, and two must be related to some substantive specialty (such as education, health care, defense planning, or natural resources).
The 3-2 Option A limited number of undergraduates may complete
the public policy analysis degree under a 3-2 option. By satisfying most of the requirements for their undergraduate concentration in the first three years, students under this plan begin the public policy analysis curriculum in their senior year. At the end of that year, they receive their bachelor's degree, and, after one additional year of full-time graduate study, complete the requirements for the M.S. (public policy) degree. Students may combine the Public Policy Analysis Program with virtually any undergraduate concentration. However, some prior exposure to political science, economics, or statistics is helpful. Students interested in the 3-2 option must apply to this program in the spring of their junior year. Applications and additional information can be obtained in Harkness Hall 312.
Through a cooperative arrangement between the Department of Political Science and the Department of Preventive, Family, and Rehabilitation Medicine, students may undertake a combined three-year program leading to the degrees M.S. in public policy and M.S. in community health. For this program, the existing M.S. degree program in public policy analysis requires that the substantive area be taken in the Department of Preventive, Family, and Rehabilitation Medicine. Part of the required practicum will also be fulfilled in Preventive Medicine 450. Conversely, the elective credits in the existing M.S. program in community health must be concentrated in public policy and traditional political science courses.
The M.S. program in public policy analysis allows students to enter after their junior year. By doing so, it is possible under certain conditions to earn both master's degrees after two years of study beyond the B.A.
This cooperative program is compatible with almost a ny undergraduate major. However, students can get a "head start" by taking relevant courses prior to admission to the program. Especially appropriate would
126 Arts and Science
be course work in elementa ry statistics, calculus, economics, a nd / or political science .
Because preventive medicine courses typically carry three credits and political scie nce courses ty pically carry four, the number of c redit hours earned may vary from one student to anothe r. Students will normally take four courses pe r semester (or two, while working on the maste r's essa y) and must have a tot<.! of at least 12 credit hours per semester to be full-time. Only under exceptional circumstances will part-time students be pe rmitted to pursue a cooperative degree program.
M.S. in Public Policy with a Specialty in Pharmaceutical Issues
The De partments of Po litica l Scie nce and P harmacology and Toxicology have an arra ngement whereby M.S. students in the Public Policy Analysis Program may do their substantive work in the Center for tr.e Study of Drug Development. T he program e nables students t o apply the a nalytical techni4ues learned in the public po licy program to rea l a nd current pha rmaceutical issues of drug develo pment, eva lua tion, us-~.
a nd regulation. Students accepted in the p ro g ram will ta ke the core
of the existing PPA curriculum and courses in pharmacology, and then will complete a substantial research projec t in the Cente r fo r the Study of Drug Development. T he resea rch will be co nducted unde r the directio n of faculty a d v isers from bo th d e pa rtments.
M.S. in Public Policy and Ph.D. in Education
Individuals interested in educational p o licy may pursue a progra m lea ding to bo th the M.S. degree in public policy a nd a Ph. D. d egree from the G radua te School of Educa tio n a nd Huma n D eve lo pmen t. This program re4uires a t least four years to com p lete .
Additional informat ion a bo ut a ny of the combined degree prog ra ms can be o bta ined from the Director of the Public Policy Analysis Progra m in Harkness Hall.

The program of religious studies offers a wide range of courses which cover the histories, literatures, and phenomena of religious traditions. Course offerings fall within four main divisions: Judaism, Christianity, Asian Religions, and Comparative and Methodological Studies in Religion . As a discipline within the liberal arts, cutting across humanities and the social sciences, religious studies enriches its offerings with regular cross-listings of relevant courses in six departments of the College. Cooperative arrangements with neighbo ring academic institutions, particularly the Colgate / Bexley/ Crozer Divinity Schools, further supplement the program.
The goal of a concentration in religious studies is to achieve an understanding of the nature of diverse religions, the methods employed by several disciplines in their study, a nd a measure of competence within a specific tradition or area . Seminars, reading courses, a nd the Semor Tutorial allow intensive study of particula r topics.
Requirements for Concentration in Religious Studies
A minimum of 10 courses:
1. Either R EL 101 or 102 2. One course in the history of a trad ition, either R EL
103, 104, 105, or 106
3. REL 293, normally taken in the junior year
4. Six other courses, no more than three of which may be taken within a single division (Judaism, Christianity, Asian Religions, Comparative and Methodologica l Studies). Of these six courses, two must be selected from courses cross-listed with other departments.
5. Senior T utorial (R EL 393): a directed, individual study project , the resu lts of which will be presented by the student to a colloquium comprising faculty, o ther concentrators, and guests.
A concentration in religious studies may include no more than three 100-level courses. No course may be taken for credit toward a graduate degree unless it is cross- listed with a department which offers a doctoral program.

The interests of sociologists range from the motivations of scientists to the organization of armies and from the leisure patterns of suburbia to the sources of industrialization. Although all of these are also in some degree the concern of other field s, they necessarily involve the ideas of social positions, social relations, and social organization- in short, the sociological perspective. In conveying this perspective, the Department aims to give its students the concepts, theories, and methods with which they can learn to understand the social world for themselves. Throughout its courses the Department emphasizes the mutual influence of social theories and social facts.
The Department sees its courses in general, and its concentration in particular, as "preprofessional" only in the sense that a liberal education and a knowledge of society are parts of all preprofessional education. Those students who plan to go on to graduate work in sociology or a related field should take at least one 400-level course in their junior or senior year.
Requirements for Concentration in Sociology
A total of 10 courses: a. Seven courses in sociology including:
Major Social Theorists (SOC 20 I); one methods course; any other five sociology courses, with not more than one at the 100 level. These five courses must be distributed in at least two of the three substantive areas: Social Structure, Social Interaction, Organizations and Institutions.
b. An introductory course in statistics or its equivalent no later than the second semester of the junior year; prospective concentrators should see the departmental adviser if uncertain about the statistics requi:ements.
c. Remaining courses in related fields, with the approval of the departmental adviser.

The Department of Statistics at the University of Rochester offers instruction in statistics from introductory through graduate levels. Programs leading to the B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees in statistics and joint B.A. and M.A. programs in mathematics and statistics a re available. The Department interprets the term "statistics" very broadly. The courses available permit specialization in statistical theory, probability theory, statistical analysis, biostatistics, and operations research. The Department recognizes and emphasizes both theoretical and applied aspects of statistics. Some computer usage is an essential and integral part of all programs. By appropriate choice of courses, students may coordinate their statistical education with some specific field of application. Or,
they may choose a program strong in theory and in supporting mathematics courses.
The objectives of the B.A. program are to provide (!) a background in quantitative methods for graduate work in the social sciences or business administration, (2) training in statistical methods for work in government or industry, and (3) an introduction to statistics in preparation for graduate work in statistics and related fields.
Introductory Course Information The Department offers five introductory courses.
Two of the courses (165 and 201-203) are theoretical in nature; the others (145, 211, 212) are applied. Statistics 165 is an introductory course in probability and statistical theory; it provides a theoretical background for statistics as used in the humanities and sciences. Statistics 201-203 is a two-semester, thorough introduction to the theory of probability and statistics.
Statistics 145 is a nonmathematical, introductory, terminal course concentrating on interpretation of data and on some of the basic techniques of statistical analysis. Statistics 211 and Statistics 212 are more technical, though still without any mathematical prerequisite; many of the techniques of statistical analysis are introduced along with computer implementation. Either of these may be followed by Statistics 216.
Statistics 201-203, 211-216, and 212-216 are natural two-course sequences for statistics as an allied field. Other two-, three-, and four-course sequences are possible.
The Department maintains a calculating laboratory, available to students taking statistics courses. The Department also has a computer terminal for remote access to the University's IBM-3032 and DEC 10 computer facilities.
Concentration in Statistics The concentration in statistics must form a co
herent program directed toward the objectives of the student, and must be approved by the statistics departmental adviser. It is expected that students considaing statistics as a major take Statistics 211 or 212 and one other statistics course, or Statistics 201 -203 during their sophomore year.
Requirements for Statistics Majors • Mathematics 161- 162 or their equivalents (141 -
143 or 150-152), and 163-164
Statistics 135
• 10 additional courses: a. Six to eight statistics courses, including 20 I,
203, 211 or 212, 226
b. Two to four courses in an allied field: computer science, mathematics, economics, engineering, political science, psychology, sociology, management, or any cognate field, with the consent of the Department.
Some of the 400-level courses in statistics (see the Graduate Studies Bulletin) arc also available to maJors.
Joint and Double Majors The above requirements are needed for double
majors- statistics and another field - as well as the requirements in the other field; the departmental adviser should be consulted.
The Department offers a joint major in mathematics and statistics. (Other joint concentration programs are being developed .)

The Co llege of Engineering and Applied Science offers degree programs leading to the bachelor of science, master of science, and doctor of philosophy degrees. Based on the fundamentals of science and engineering, the program~ exist in and benefit from a strong libera l a rts environment.
The undergraduate program provides education for a lifetime career, not merely training for a job. The program has two major objectives:
1. To prepare students for positions as practicing engineers and leaders in industry, government, education, and other areas of society.
2. To prepare students for graduate work leading to professions in medicine, law, and business as well as engineering, giving them an understanding of science and technology that will provide a firm foundation for their lifework.
The emphasis is on individual opportunity. ~tudents are encouraged to participate in the many active research projects in the College, a nd flexibility in each program makes it possible to incorporate specialized course work. For instance, engineering students pursue elective wo rk and undertake research projects in such fields as biomedical engineering, computer engineering, environmental studies, and materials science.
Undergraduate students formally enter the College of Engineering and Applied Science at the junior level after two years of strong liberal arts education. During this period of time the student will have completed the requisite freshman and sophomore courses as published in the Undergraduate Bulletin of his or her freshman year.
Normally, formal application to the College of Engineering and Applied Science is accomplished by the student's filing in the spring of the sophomore year a concentration approval form which contains an approved plan of study for the junior a nd senior years.
The specific courses re4uired to complete the degree are those which have been approved by the faculty, are available from the faculty advisers, and will appear in the Undergraduate Bulletin of the student's junior year. However, students intending to be engineering majors are assigned faculty advisers in the College of Engineering and Applied Science in their freshman year, and they begin taking engineering courses as early as the first semester.
Four-year courses of study lead to the bachelor of science degree in chemical engineering, electrical engineering, geomechanics, mechanical engineering, optics, or an interdepartmental program in engineering and applied science. Fu ll accreditation of the programs in electrical, chemical, and mechanical engi neering has been given by the Engineers' Cou ncil for Professional Development. See pages 142-161 for details about these programs.
Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Science
In add itll)n to the specific courses stipulated in the degree programs, students must satisfactorily complete the following:
140 Engineering and Applied Science
I. A minimum total of 128 semester hours, or equivalent, of acceptable and satisfactory academic work; individual departments may require a higher total.
2. English: any course at the 100 level (except 113-129), normally English I 0 I.
3. Distribution requirements: Students following tre mechanical, electrical, interdepartmental, geomechanics, or optics programs must complete six courses in the humanities and social sciences. Students in chemical engineering programs must complete at least five courses in the humanities and social sciences. In all programs at least two courses must be taken in humanities and at least two in the social sciences. These courses are an important and integral part of an engineering education, and should be carefully chosen with the help •Jf the faculty advisers. The following courses fulfill distribution requirements: a. Humanities: any English course except the
course taken to satisfy the English degree requirement (see above) and, in Chemical Engineering, courses 113-129; any Fine Arts course; any Foreign and Comparative Literature course; any Foreign Language course above the 101 level or any 101-level Foreign Language course which is followed by a second course in the same language; any Music course; any Philosop;1y course; any Religious Studies course. There is no foreign language requirement for the undergraduate programs in the College of Engineering and Applied Science.
b. Social Sciences: any Anthropology course; any Economics course; any His tory course; any Linguistics course; any Political Science course; any Psychology course; any Sociology course.
Liberal Arts (LA) courses can be counted only as free electives. Policies regarding other elective courses are included in departmental curriculum descriptions.
4. One year of residency for undergraduates in ~h e College. Students must be admitted to and regi~tered in the College with an approved degree program for at least two semesters (not necessarily. consecutive); during each of these two semesters, students must complete at least 12 hours of course credit.
5. Cumulative grade-point average: an average of at least 2.0 for all courses taken for credit at the University of Rochester, and an average of at least 2.0
in courses specified by the department or program of major.
ROTC students majoring in engineering must take certain naval science courses in addition to the regular courses listed. A maximum of two ROTC courses (eight hours) may be used as free electives. In the mechanical engineering a nd geomechanics programs only, one of these two ROTC courses (four hours) may be used as a social science in completing distribution requirements. Other ROTC courses must be taken as overloads.
Common First Year ..-Students intending to major in an engineering or
science field (chemical , electrical, and mechanical engineering, geomechanics, optics, and the interdepartmental program in this college, biology, chemistry, general science, geological sciences, mathematics, and physics in the College of Arts and Science) can take substantially the same courses during their freshman year and can change among these programs fairly easily until the end of the first year. Students who come to the University interested in engineering but uncerta in of the specific area are encouraged to consider themselves as interdepartmental program students for the first year while, with the help of their engine~rmg faculty advisers, they explore different options.
Enriched Five-Year Program Normally undergraduate programs are completed
in four academic years. Students may extend undergraduate work over a five-year period by including additional courses in the liberal arts or in the sciences. Students wishing to follow such a program should consult their faculty advisers toward the end of the freshman year. The proposed program must meet the norm<.! minimum load requirements.
By properly choosing the e lectives in a five-year program, students can meet requirements fur both the B.S. degree in the College of Engineering and A pplied Science and a B.A. degree in a chosen field of Iibera_ arts concentration. These students essentia lly complete a progra m similar to a two-college progra m, but do so entirely at the University of Rochester. (See the 3- 2 Program described on page 141.)
Students who wish to complete a bachelor's degree in engineering a nd a master of business administration may be able to combine an undergraduate engineering program with work in the Graduate School of
Management. This program may require that students take an overloau or summer courses during the junior or senior year.
The 3-2 Program The 3-2 Program offers extensive education in the
humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences in combination with professional education in engineering. ln this five-year program the student attends a participating liberal arts college* for three years and then transfers to the College of Engineering and Applied SCience for two yea rs.
Application for admission to the 3-2 Program is made to the liberal arts college of the student's choice and is subject to the admission procedures of that institution. After three years of successful study of a curriculum which is submitted to and agreed upon by both faculties, acceptance into the College of Engineering and Applied Science is guaranteed upon the recommendation of the participating college.
Two-Degree Program Students may earn two undergraduate degrees from
the College of Engineering and Applied Science under the following conditions:
a. The interdepartmental program may not be one of the two degrees.
b. The time span involved must be greate r than that normally required for one degree. Advanced placement and summer courses may be counted as the equivalent of time.
c. The student must have the written approval of his or her adviser and the department chairmen concerned. A written request should list the courses being submitted for each degree, a nnotating those being counted for both degrees. T he signatures of the department chairmen indica te their agreement that the proposed two-degree program meets, in their JUdgment, the requirements of the State Education Department (Memo No. 4) and the University policy approved by the Cabinet of Deans on J a nuary 5, 1976 (both on file in the Office of the Dean, College of Engineering and Applied Sciem:e).
d. After approval by the department chairmen, the request should be routed to the Administrative Committee of the College of Engineering and Applied Science for final approval.

Biomedical Engineering Students may pursue biomedical engineering either
through one of the departments or through the Interdepartmental Program. The Departments of Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical and Aerospace Sciences, a nd The Institute of Optics all offer courses releva nt to biomedical engineering. A non-credit course, Options in Biomedical Engineering, is offered to help students decide how to develop their interest in this area.
Computer Engineering Computer engineering may be studied either
through the Department of Electrical Engineering or the Interdepartmental Program in the College of Engineering and Applied Science. The Department of Electrical Engineering offers a strong sequence in computer engineering; these courses may be supplemented with courses from the Department of Computer Science for an interdepartmental degree or taken as the core o f an electrical engineering program. See also pages 53 and 146.
Academic Information and Advising
The Dean's Office in Gavett Hall assists students with co urse cha nges, summer schoo l approva l, University College course a pproval. preparation fo r graduate a nd professional study, independent study and special courses, student academic petitions, and other matters. For specific regulations on these and other aspects of program planning, turn to the Academic Services a nd Information section of th is bulletin (pages 199- 206).
Faculty advisers are assigned to each engineering student early in the freshman year to provide information about different engineering f ields a nd to help students plan and review course schedules and degree programs. The Dean's Office ensures that students can see the faculty advisers most appropriate to their individual interests a nd needs.
All courses in the College a re taught by full-time faculty members with professorial ra nk or by parttime faculty members with the rank of professo r (pa rttime) or lecturer (part-time). In courses which have more than 25 students, student teaching assistants may aid the professor in supervising laboratory sessions, running regularly scheduled problem sessions, or grading homework.

Chemical engineers apply the chemical and p hysical sciences to the solution of practical problems. They often wcrk in the chemical industry supervising design and comtruction of new manufacturing units , seeing that the~·.e operate economically and efficiently, accumulating and analyzing scientific information needed for useful process designs, and taking pa rt in the development and marketing of new products. They may also use their engineering backgrounds in a wide va riety of other occupations. For example, chemical engineers may enter legal work, particularly in pa tent law; their special understanding of chemical and physical processes is invaluable for further training in medical or biomedical research. The chemical engineer also plays an increasingly important role in problems of waste treatment and pollution abatement and in best uses of energy and natural resources.
The versatility demanded of chemical engineers requires that their abilities to use the basic sciences be especially well developed. Moreover, because the solutions to society's problems frequently involve
*Part-time.
questions which transcend technical considerations and because our faculty is committed to a true university education for chemical engineering students, the curriculum is designed to include humanities and social sciences as well as the physical and biological sciences, mathematics, and engineering.
Courses in chemical engineering are coordinated with separate la boratory courses in the sophomore, junior, and senior years. The laboratory experiments are designed to demonstrate and test fundamental concepts learned in lectures. The laboratory is optional during the last semester and provides the student with the opportunity to do an open-ended project related to current problems in design and research.
For admission to the chemical engineering department the student normally is required to have a gradepoint average of 2.15 in all chemistry and chemical engineering courses taken during the first four semesters. For graduation a student must have obtained a grade-point average of 2.0 in all chemical engineering courses in additiOn to having an overall average of 2.0.
Electives Twelve of the 32 credit courses in a four-year pro
gram are electives; a five-year enriched program includes an additional eight. Five electives are selected from humanities and social science subjects (see page 140; in addition, English 113-129 do not count toward distribution reLJuirements). One elective (or nine in an enriched program) may be used however the slUdent wishes. The six remaining electives are chosen from technical courses offered by science and engineering departments with the following restrictions: one course must be in applied mathematics and a second course must be in process control or systems analysis.
At least three of the technical electives must form a coherent seLJuence of courses concentra ting in an area complementa ry to chemical engineering. Students develop these specializations in consulta tion with faculty advisers and usually complete them in the j unior and senior years. Suitable sequences often include personal research o r design projects. Students a re urged to consult. widely and then design sequences in areas of special personal interest. A few examples might be:
biotechnology- problems of common interest to biologists, biochemists, physicians, and engineers.
environmental engineering --engineering methods applied to community or ecological problems.
Chemical Engineering 143
energy resources- fossil fuels, their production, chemical processing, and uses; other sources: nuclear fission and fusion, solar, hydroelectric, geothermal, etc.
sy.Hems and nmtro!s- the behavior of complex chemical processes and their on-line control.
materials science---- structure and properties of metals, glasses, plastics, and refractories.
plastics and polymt>rs-their structure, properties, and manufacture.
surfu,·e chemistn• and catalysis- unique properties of interlaces separating solids, liquids, and gases.

146 Engineering and Applied Science
The Department of Electrical Engineering has a modern, innovative curriculum encouraging students to pursue individual interests and goals. The curriculum emphasizes flexibility in content and student involvement in program planning.
Students selecting this curriculum receive the necessary background either to enter the engineering profession directly after completion of the baccalaureate degree or to continue study at the graduate level. The curriculum is based on a firm foundatior.. of basic and advanced sequences of course work, with particular emphasis on mathematics and physics. Its flexibility makes it suitable for specialization in unusual fields such as:
Biomedical Engineering Ultrasonics Production and Design Automation
as well as in traditional fields of electrical engineering which are basic to the program:
Computers and Computation Systems and Control Solid State Electronics and Superconductivity Fields and Waves Signals and Communication.
Study of related social, behavioral, and biological studies is also encouraged. Students interested in medicine, law, management, or whatever can take preparatory courses for these areas as electives. Technical electives are taken in engineering and in the physical, natural , and mathematical sciences. A specific listing of departments, including course exceptions, from which technical electives may be selected is on file in the department office.
Another distinctive feature of the curriculum is its removal of artificial boundaries between undergraduate and graduate courses. Because basic graduate courses can be taken in addition to advanced undergraduate electives, a larger variety of electives is available for undergraduates. This feature also a llows for in-depth preparation for graduate study in electrical engineering or in related areas such as computer science. Undergraduate students are encouraged to participate in active research programs by enrolling in special project courses (EE 396).
Flexibility in the departmental program facilitates entry into the program by transfer students and aLw assures them the opportunity of preparing themselves for graduate study in electrical engineering as well as other areas.
Each entering student is assigned a faculty program adviser to assist the student in planning an academic program. Specified course work includes the fou r mathematics courses, the three physics courses and corresponding laboratory courses, and the one chemistry course shown in the program below. The rest of the program presents the student with choices. The unspecified part of the program includes eight bas ic electrical engineering courses taken as four two-course sequences, three additional electrical engineenng courses, four technical electives, six nontechnical electives, and two free electives.
Basic electrica l engineering sequences are available in each of the five basic electrical engineering fields mentioned above; namely, EE 101-102, EE 111-212, EE 221 - 222, EE 231-232, and EE 241-242.
Except for EE 111 - 212, no basic two-course sequence is a prerequisite for any other basic two-course sequ~nce so that these sequences can be taken in any order. Advanced electrical engineering electives can be either undergraduate or graduate courses.
The normal academic load is four courses per semester and all courses carry four credit hours. All electrical engineering la boratories are ta ught as part of these courses so that the time spent in formal classroom instruction is reduced relative to many other engineering curricula.
For admission to the Department of Electrical Engineering, the student must have completed at least two electrical engineering basic sequence courses a nd have achieved at least a grade-point average of 2. 15 in all basic sequence courses completed at the time of applica tion for admission. The student must a lso have at least a 2.0 grade-point average overall. For graduation, electrical engineering majors are required to obta in a cumulative grade-point average of at least 2.0 in the eight courses included in the basic sequence category of the program.
Students are encouraged to join and be active in the student chapter of IE EE, the professiona l society for electrical engineers.
Computer Engineering 1 hose electrical engineering students who are seek
ing specialized professional train ing in computer engineering are encouraged to complete all five basic electrical engineering sequences, EE 201 , EE 202, EE 203, and an advanced elective mathematics seq uence such as MTH 216 and MTH 217, MTH 236 and MTH 237, or MTH 247 and MTH 248. Hands-on hardware,
firmware, and software experience with minicomputers and microcomputers is also available for advanced computer engineering students through use of equipment in the Electrical Engineering Computer Facility; academic credit for this experience can be <)btained by registration in EE 396.

Each student in the Interdepartmental Program, with the advice of a Program Committee member, creates a program of study based on more flexible degree requirements than those found in classical engineering degree programs. Thus the Interdepartmenta l Program allows a large number of program possibilities for a student who plans to enter postgraduate education in applied science, medicine, law, or business.
Students whose career objectives are technologically oriented, but lie outside fields in which established engineering programs are available, also find the Program a ttractive. For example, interdisciplinary interests which may form the basis for individual programs of study are: computer engineering, bioengineering, .physical metallurgy, polymer science, environmer.tal engineering, etc. The degree earned is a bachelor of science in engineering and applied science.
Freshmen who enter the University interested 111
engineering but uncertain of the specific area are encouraged to consider themselves as interdepartmental program students for the first year while, with the help of their engineering faculty advisers, they explore different options. Many of these students subse<.juently choose a program in one of the departments.
Each student planning to enroll in this program is assigned a Program Committee member as adviser. Before he or she can be formally accepted into the program, the student's complete program of courses must be approved by the Program Committee.
Students normally follow a four-year program of 32 courses. Sixteen are basic courses: one satisfies the degree requirement in English; six are humanities and social science electives; and nine are in natural st:iences. These nine courses normally include at least as many mathematics, physics, and chemistry courses as required by a department in the College. Technical courses for social science students are not normally included in these courses.
Sixteen additional courses must be arranged to satisfy the following conditions: (I) they contain at least
three sequences of courses, each related to the technical focus the student wishes to develop in the program; (2) eight are offerings of the College of Engineering and Applied Science; and (3) the remaining eight either belong to the seljuences or are free electives.
Each sequence contains three or more technical or scientific courses, but not more than one I 00-level course. A sequence must involve a logical, in-depth progression of material , confined to an acceptably identifiable area, in which later material builds upon and ex.tends earlier material.
A student interested in Environmental Engineering might create seljuences such as these: A. Water Pollution
GEO 219 MI\S 272 (or GEO 272) CHE 252 MAS 250
B. Air Pollution MAS 225 CHE 253 MAS 260
C. Noise Pollution EE 231 EE 232.
Examples of possible sequences for other interests: Applied Mechanics: MAS 220, CHE 243, MAS 226 Biochemistry and Cellular Physiology: CH M 132-133, BIO 220, IND 401 Computer Engineering: EE 101 - 102, EE 201 , EE 202, EE 402 Environmental Problems: BIO 101, GEO 219, C HE 252, CHE 253
Materials Engineering: CH E 280 (or MAS 280), MAS 281, OPT 221 , CHE 283 Optical Engi neering: OPT 241, OPT 242, OPT 253 Polymer Science: CHM 201, CHM 203, CHE :280, CHE 463, C H E 464 Solid State Electronics: OPT 221, EE 222, EE 420 Bi·)medical Fields: EE 231, 232, 450, 451 Bi0medical Instrumentation: EE Ill , 212, 250 or EE Ill , 212, 217, 218.
Students are encouraged to propose other sequences which satisfy their special interests.
The course-sequence requirement assures that each student studies no less than three technical or scientific areas to at least the same depth as required in departmental programs within the College.
In some areas, a student who wishes to s tudy a nontechnical or nonscientific discipline in depth to strengthen the focus of a program may be permitted to use a course sequence to this end.
All students in the Interdepartmental Program must earn a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 2.0 for all 'courses taken in their field of specialization. This will include all courses in their basic sequences as well as the eight required engineering courses.
Students considering concentration in the Interdepartmental Program are encouraged to write or visit the chairman of the Program Committee for fur:her information or for individual program counseling.
Computer Engineering It is possible to combine courses from the Depart
ment of Electrical Engineering in the College of Engineering and Applied Science and from the Department of Computer Science in the College of Arts and Science to develop an interdepartmental program leading to a B.S. degree in engineering and applied science with a concentration in computer engineering. Students pursuing such a program would take a majo rity of their courses from the Department of Electrical Engineering in the College of Engineering and Applied Science.

Program in Mechanical Engineering
This program provides a particularly good background for graduate study in engineering and other fields, as well as effective preparation for students who enter industry immediately upon graduation. The Department strives to develop competent, creative, responsible engineers capable of assuming leadership roles in their profession.
The curriculum provides a balance of courses in the humanities and social sciences, physics, applied mathematics, and basic engineering. Emphasis is placed on the underlying fundamentals in the required engineering course work, enabling graduates to adapt throughout their careers to rapid advances in science and technology. Training in the design process gradually supplements the analytical content of the courses as the undergraduate progresses. A required senior-year sequence in design acts as a capstone course in this process. Formal presentation of each team's final design is a key element of this course. A dedicated senior design room is made available to the senior class for use as a center for team design activities. This room includes computer terminals, drafting tables, modeling kits, and reference materials.
Many undergraduates in the Department assist faculty members in research projects during the academic year and the summer. Recent projects involving undergraduates include experiments in controlled nuclear fusion using high-powered lasers, use of the electron microscope and testing machines to study engineering materials, a study of wind-driven currents in Lake Ontario, experimental modeling of the dynamics of plate tectonics, and an experimental study of stability and turbulence in pipe flow.
The areas of emphasis in the undergraduate program are mechanics, fluid dynamics, energy, materials, and applied mathematics. The Department offers a sequence of courses in each of these areas. The· sec quences are mutually independent. Each sequence begins with a fundamental course which has only basic mathematics and physics as prerequisites. Th..ts, the sequences are accessible to all students in science and engineering. Most of the sequences contain, in addition to undergraduate courses, graduate courses at the 400 level. Undergraduates seeking advanced training in certain areas are encouraged to take such courses.
For graduation, majors in the Department must obtain a cumulative average of 2.0 or higher for all required MAS courses.
Students are encouraged to join and be active in the student chapter of AS ME, the professional society for mechanical engineers.
Technical Electives There are four technical electives in the program.
Two of these must be selected from the three laboratory courses (MAS 241 , 242, 254). The remaining three r.1ay be used to gain a broad background in several fields, or they may be used to obtain training in an area of special interest. Students interested in a broad background should consider technical electives outside this department as well as MAS courses. Students wishing to specialize in certain areas can construct a number of sequences with their technical electives. Some examples are: Nuclear Energy (MAS 252, 253, 254); Environmental Fluid Dynamics (MAS 250, 260, 272, 42g); Materials Science (MAS 280, 281, 421 , 442, 452); and Applied Mathematics (MAS 201, 202, 40 I, 402).
Distribution Requirements There are six required courses. Of these, at least
two must be in the humanities and at least two in the social sciences. Each of the remaining two courses may be a humanities course, a social science course, or any course in the Graduate School of Ma nagement with one of the following designations: BSI, AEC, and LA.W.

Program in Geomechanics The program in geomechanics is a joint offering of
the Department of Geological Sciences and the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Sciences, a nd leads to the degree of bachelor of science in geomechanics. The program provides an unusua l opportunity for students interested in the quantitative aspects of the earth sciences.
The curriculum emphasizes the a pplication of the principles of mechanics to problems associated with the atmosphere, the oceans, a nd the solid earth. The program is a natural o utgrowth of collaborative research efforts between the two departments, a nd builds on several areas of common interest: the mechanics of fluids, the mechanics of solids, a nd the properties of materials.
Students who successfully complete this program should be well equipped for employment or graduate studies in a number of fields, such as geophysics, hydrology, structural geology and rock mechanics, engineering geology, limnology, coastal a nd marine geology, theoretical geomorphology, and rt>lated fields .

sources or environmental protection at the federal, state, and county levels, with the mineral resources industries, and in multidisciplinary private consulting firms engaged in geological engineering. Although the program is not directly centered on environmental and civil engineering problems, it provides the necessary scientific and engineering background for those who are interested in pursuing careers in these fie lds.
Curriculum The geomechanics curriculum is built around basic
mathematics, physics, chemistry, geology, and engineering courses. The required geology courses cover geologic processes, the evolution of the earth, mineralogy, and structural geology. Required engineering courses deal with mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and solid mechanics.
f echnical electives, chosen from a number of geology and engineering offerings. include courses in physical oceanography and limnology, river engineering, meteorology. geophysical fluid dynamics, optical mineralogy, materials science, advanced mechanics, rheology, rock mechanics, geophysics, sed imentary processes, and geotechnical engineering.
In addition, the curriculum provides a balance of courses in the humanities and social sciences. These courses may be chosen according to the students' interests. Students with an interest in environmental or public policy aspects of geomechanics will find that the social science electives can be chosen in such a way as to enhance their basic program.
The program a lso a llows three free e lect ives, which each student may choose to suit his or her special interests. For example, a student can elect to study environmental problems by taking courses in air and water pollution a nd in ecology. Training in environmental planning a nd policy work may be obtained by taking courses in geology and public policy, environmental decisions, and operations research. Many other special programs can be developed in such areas as water resources problems, advanced fluid dynamics of atmospheres and oceans, or advanced rock mechanics and structural geology.
As pa rt of their studies, many undergraduates investigate problems, often of local interest, in the area of geomechanics. Recent projects include: tlooding and level regula tion o n Lake Ontario; analysis of a proposed flood-control project on a tributary of the Ge nesee River; hydrologic studies of local communities; water quality problems of the Finger Lakes; ex-
154 Engineering and Applied Science
perimental studies of microfracturing in granite; and laboratory modeling of the d ynamics of the earth's crust and upper mantle.
Program Requirements For preparation in mathematics, the program re
ljUires MT H 161, 162, 163 (or MAS 16.\), and MAS 164. The required physics courses are 121; I 22, 18 I; I 23, I 82; I 83; and the required chemistry courses a re CHM 125 and 126 (or CHM 141 and 142). In geology, GEO 101 , 201, 224, and 2S3 are required; and in mechanical and aerospace sciences, the requirements are MAS 120, 121, 225, and 226.
In addition to the above courses, there are five technica l electives, which may be any of the GEO or MAS courses on the 200 level or higher.
The program includes three free electives to allcw a strong minor in an area of particular interest to the student, or to broaden the scope of the curriculum. Other general degree reljuirements are those listed on page 140.
Sample Programs To illustrate the scope of studies possible within the
program in geomechanics, three samples have been constructed on the basis of the above requirements.
For an emphasis on fluid geomechanics, a student could take the following technica l electives: Sedimentology (GEO 235), Physical Oceanography a nd Limnology (MAS 250), Rivers and River Engineering (MAS 272), T he Atmosphere (MAS 260), and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics (MAS 42S). Useful free electives in this program include Analysis (MAS 20 I, 202), Heat Transfer (MAS 223) , and Computer Modeling (GEO 470).
For a program centered on solid J;eomechanics, the following choice of technical electives would be appropriate: Geophysics (GEO 281), Sedimentology (GEO 235), Optical Mineralogy (G EO 227), Petrology (G EO 241), and Rheology (MAS 421). Appropriate free electives include Analysis (MAS 201, 202) and Mechanics of Structures (MAS 440).
A program with emphasis on [;eo-environmer: tal topics can be obtained by taking the following technica l electives: Physical Oceanography and Limnology (MAS 250), Rivers a nd River Engineering (MAS 272), T he Atmosphere (MAS 260), Geology and Public Policy (G EO 219), and Environmental Decisions Seminar (GEO 340). Suitable free electives are Water Poilulion (CHE 252), Air Pollution tCHE 253), and Land Pollution (CH E 254).
Administration The geomechanics degree is awarded by either the
College of Arts and Science or the College of Engineering and Applied Science-the choice is made by the student. If the student chooses Arts and Science, his or her major adviser will be in the Department of Geological Sciences; if the college chosen is Engineering and Applied Science, the major adviser will be in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Sciences. In each case, the student will also have a minor adviser in the other department.
Listed below· is a sample arrangement of courses. Considerable variations on this ordering are possible to accommodate transfers and special needs.

Optics is the study of the generation, transmtsswn, and detection of light; optical engineering deals with the design of optical instruments and systems.
The Institute of Optics at the University of Rochester is the only department in the country offering a four-year undergraduate degree in optics. It is also an internationally known center for research and teaching at the graduate level. The B.S. in optics provides fundamental courses in physical optics, geometrical opttcs, radtatwn and detectors, and numerous electives in specialized areas of optics and related fields. The bachelor's degree prepares students for immediate employment as optical engineers. Optics majors who plan to do graduate work may apply in their junior year for admission to the five-year B.S.- M.S. program, described in detail on page 159, and may begin master's-level independent research in their senior year. The B.S. in optics also provides suitable background for students wishing to work toward a Ph.D. degree in pure or applied optics and a career in research.
Interested and qualified undergraduates are sometimes able to participate in faculty research projects dun ng the school year or in the summer. Current projects mclude studies involving lasers, holography, tmage processing and information handling, experimental studies of optics and electronic properties of matter, computer-aided lens design and evaluation, destgn of multilayer optical filters , and the interaction of intense optical radiation with matter, including studtes of laser-mduced nuclear fusion, a potential energy source for the future.
S·:udents normally apply for admission to The Institute at the end of the sophomore year by submitting a concentration approval form to their adviser or to the chairman of the Undergraduate Committee. Admission requirements are a 2.0 grade-point average in required optics courses taken up to that time (usually Optics 241 and Optics 261) and an overall grade-point average of 2.0. For graduation, a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 2.0 is necessary for all courses
taken in The Institute of Optics, as well as an overall average of 2.0.
Students are encouraged to join as members of the local chapter and national organization of the Optical Society ot America and the Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.
Prospective students and undergraduates considering optics as a major are encouraged to write or to visit The Institute of Optics for further information and individual counseling.

166 Nursing
The faculty of the School of Nursing subscribes to
the philosophy of the University of Rochester that men and women must have an opportunity to learn and should understand their responsibilities for enlightened leadership as citizens in a changing soc ial order; that liberal education should consist of acquiring the knowledge and skill s adequate to conduct a rational search for answers to the major questions which confront man; and that liberal education is basic to professional education and should evoke clarity of thought, direction of purpose, and integrity of character.
The faculty believes that nursing is a useful profession, a serv1ce rendered by one human being for another, or for a group, in which knowledge is dr.twn from the health sciences and applied to the maintenance and restoration of the physical and mental wellbeing of persons.
Education for professional nursing requires a foundation in the physical, biological , and social sciences and in the humanities. Upo n this base a re built educational experiences which help the nursing stujent acquire the knowledge, skills, and understandings necessary to function as a member of the health team and to care for individuals according to their phys ical , emotional, and social needs, fostering for them the greatest possible independence and self-direction. I he undergraduate program, leading to the bachelor of science degree with a major in nursing, is designed to prepare for professional nursing practice and to provide a base for graduate education. The faculty believes that the professional nurse must respond to the challenge of unresolved problems in nursing by perfecting skills, deepening understandings, and contributing to knowledge through service, teaching, and research.
Programs of the Schoo l of Nursing are registered with the State Education Department of the University of the State of New York. All programs are accredited by the National League for Nursing. Graduates are eligible to take the licensing examination for Registered l\;urse in New York State; likewise, they also a re eligible for membership in nursing organizations such as the American Nurses' Association, the National League for Nursing, a nd others, including specialty groups.
Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Science
Students formally enter the School of l\'urstng at the junicr level after a minimum of two years of liberal a rts and science education. Un iversity of R,1chester students are assigned advisers at the time they declare their intention to major in nursing. The advisers help the students plan a prenursing academic program consisting of introductory courses in English, biology, psychology, sta tistics, microbiology, chemistry, sociology, and an elective in the huma nities.
In addition to the specific courses stipulatt>d ;n the degr-~e prog ra m, students must sa tisfactorily complete the t,Jilowing:
l. A minimum total of 134 semester hour>, or eyuivaknt , of acceptable and satisfactory academic work.
2. ;\ cumulative grade-point average of at kast 2.0 for all courses taken for credit at the University of Rochester.
3. At least one year of full-time study and a minimum of 32 hours of course work in the School of ~ursing.
ror registered nurses, the one-year residency requirement may be waived so that study can he completed on a part-time basis within a six-year period following admission.
Bacf~elor's Degree cum Laude, Magna cum Laude, ;1nd Summa cum l.aude

GRADUATE SCHOOL OF
MANAGEMENT William H. Meckling, M.B.A. (Denver) Dean
Although the liraduate Sehoul of Management offers no undergraduate degrees, it regularly ,lffers a numher of courses open to undergraduate students . 1 he School also cooperates with other University drvisions in offering the 3-2 Progra m, through which . in fi ve years, instead of the usual six. a student can earn both a bachelor's degree in his or her undergraduate major and a master of business administratio n.
The 3-2 Program Leading to a B.A. and an M.B.A.
Under the 3-2 Program, students study for three years in their undergraduate major, c<>mpleting most required courses during that time. At the end of the junior year, well-qualified students may apply for admission to the Graduate Schol)l of Management where they take the first year of the M.B.A. Program. At the end of tha t yea r, they receive the bachelor's degree in their undergrad uate major.
At this point, the student is in a position to complete the M.B.A. Program at Rochester in one addit ional year or to enter with advanced standing an M.B.A. program a t another institution.
Admission Requir('ments Admission to the 3-2 Program is limited and will be
offered to only exceptiona lly well-qualified students. Undergraduate prepa ra tion in economics, mathematics, statistics, engineering, or the sciences is preferred.
Application for admission to the M.B.A. part of the 3- 2 Program is made during the second semester of the junior year. Applicants should have:
l. Evidenced outstanding scholarship in their first five semesters of undergraduate study.
2. Completed most of their required undergraduate courses.
3. Obtained their undergraduate department's permission to enter the 3- 2 Program.
4. Scored well on the Graduate Management Admission Test which they should take by February ot their junior year.
Transfer students may apply to the 3- 2 Program after C<lmpleting three years uf study at another institution , if their undergraduate school will accept the first year of the M.B.A. Program as completing the requirements fur the bachelor's degree. Other admission requirements are the same as those for University of Rochester student>.
M.B.A. Study Under the 3-2 Program T he M.B.A. portion of the 3-2 Program seeks to
t ra in individuals to think effectively about management problems. The emphasis is on learning the principles of problem solving which lead to effective decision making.
The approach to decision making is quantitative a nd analytical. Studmts learn to identify the variables important for solving a problem, to gather and analyze the pertinent data, to evaluate alternative solutions. and to decide upon the best possible alternative.
The program provides:
I. Understa nding of the disciplines important to decision making: economics, operations research, and applied statistics.
2. Familiarity with the functional areas of business: finance , marketing, and production.
3. Knowledge of the systems by which management collects and processes information, including accounting, computer science, and information systems.
4. Specialization in an area of concentration, selected by the student with the concurrence of his or her faculty adviser.
170 Management
Curriculum To earn the M.B.A. degree in the 3-2 Program, each
student must successfully complete 64 credit hours. This normally requires four semesters, or two years of full-time study. Distribution requirements and course credits are shown in the chart on page 171.
"Core" courses are in the underlying disciplines of economics, operations research, and applied statistics plus two in accounting and computers and information systems. The "core" is designed to provide an understanding of the dynamic forces which underlie a ll business activity- the economic aspects of business and the information systems and quantitative methods of ana lysis used in modern decision making.
Four cred it hours are required in each of the functional areas of finance, marketing, and operations management. Emphasis is on principles, analytica l methods, and problem solving, rather than on descriptions of existing practice.
Thirty cred it hours in elective courses are required, 12 to 14 of which must form a concentration sequence. The student may choose to concentrate in a pplied economics, corporate or public accounting, computers and information systems, finance, marketing, operations management, or another area of specia l interest.
Generally, the final course in the sequence is a concentration seminar which considers recent theoretical and empirical findings in the area. Students review current journal literature and carry out research projects which are often conducted in cooperation with major industrial firms. Concentration seminars are not required in every major.
The remaining electives should be taken in fields related to the students' areas of concentration. They may be taken in the Graduate School of Management or in another division of the University. During the final semester, the student takes an integra tive course in business policy.
The Accounting Option There are two alternatives available to students
selecting the accounting major in the M.B.A. Program. The first alternative prepares students for public accounting and meets the educational requirements of the State of New York for admission to the Uniform Certified Public Accounting Examination used by all states. T he public accounting concentration has been unconditionally approved by the Division of Professional Education, New York State Education Depa rtment. Graduates may be certified to the New York Board of Examiners as having completed the Regis-
tered Curriculum necessary for admission to the examination.
The second accounting alternative prepa res students for careers in corporate accounting. Corporations actively recruit M.B.A. accou nting majors for positions in their controllers', treasurers', and auditing offices, as well as in their accounting departments.
The Computers and Information Systems Option
A concent ration in computers and informa tion systems prepares students for management responsibilities in using computer systems and in providing organizations with successful management information systems.
The Economics Option Students planning careers in management must
have a firm background in the funda mentals of economics in order to be effective in the decision-making process. T hose choosing to major in applied economics, therefore, will be prepa red for a wide range of management positions in government, business, and industry.
Under the economics option, students also may choose to concentrate in management for the nonprofit sector.
The Finance Option The finance option is pa rticularly a ttractive in light
of the current demand in all business and government sectors for managers with specialized training in finance.
The Marketing Option O ne of the strongest areas of concentration in terms
of employment opportunities for M .B.A. graduates, the ma rketing o ption is popula r with students interested in product planning and development, consumer behavior, ad vertising and ind ustrial management, market analysis, and other fields.
The Operations Management Option Students majoring in operations management study
planning and design of physical, financial , and manpower resources for manufacturing o rganizations and service operations in which concepts of production planning, scheduling, inventory control, facility location, and forecasting are essential. This concentration uses economics and quantitative methods as primary approaches to such concepts.

The Managerwl Economics Research Center ( M ERC) was organized to encourage scholars of diverse interests and backgrounds to focus their attention on the problems of management, to develop theories and evidence which will enable managers to understand more thoroughly the world around them, and to provide the basis for improved decision making.
The Management Library The Management Library, located on the fourth
floor of Rush Rhees Library, has seating for 180, carrels and open studies for 88 graduate students, and a half-dozen studies. In addition, the adjoining fourth-floor stacks house 50 student carrels and 32 studies. Overall the University libraries have resources exceeding 1, 760,000 volumes. The library is also a depository for U.S. and New York State documents. It regularly receives more than 9,000 periodicals and serials, of which over 900 relate specifically to man-
172 Management
agement. AdJacent to the Management Library on the fourth t1oor are the main library collections on business and economics (about 95,000 volumes).
With the help of eight to 10 student assistants and a clerical staff, the two Management librarians maintain extensive collections of reference, research , and reserve materials for GS M use. There a re management, business, and economics periodicals, and corporate annual reports are available for approximately 2,400 companies. There is a special geographical file on economic conditions, an industry file on stati stics and trends, and a large file of research reports and work ing papers from other institutions.
The Computing Center The GSM Computing Center has a Hewlett-Packard
2000 Access System and a Hewlett-Packard 3000 Series III, with numerous terminals for easy access by the students and faculty. Video monitors are interfaced to the system for on-line access in the classroom environment. Batch processing is accomplished at the GSM via a Remote Batch Entry terminal connected to the main University Computing Center's IBM 3032. Also available to the GSM is a large-scale DEC 10. Together these four processors provide almost limitless computing resources for GS M faculty and students.
The Timesharing and the Remote Batch Entry facilities, together with GSM's own computing staff and programmers, are very impressive fo r a business schooL The central University computing facilities are, however, also available to students. A la rge library of computer programs and data bases is ava ilable there to process and analyze information for a wide variety of purposes. The central computing facility has specialists and programmers on its staff who can assist with unusual information-processing problems.
Students interested in improving their skills in computer programming will find numerous non-credit short courses open to them on a variety of topics. These, together with the computers and information systems sequence concentration available to M.B.A. candidates, provide GSM students with an unusual range of options for utilizing modern computer techmques.
The Placement Office The Graduate School of Management P lacement
Office was established to fo ster the skills necessary to attain both immediate and long-range career goa ls. This office aids GS M graduates through a combination of on-campus recruitment and a comprehensive counse ling program.

ing admission:
1. Obtain instruction and application forms from the office of the Center for the Study of Curriculum and Teaching early in the first semester of the junior year.
2. Meet with the assigned faculty member for an interview and preliminary program planning.

ADMISSIONS Admission
The University of Rochester welcomes students who are able to take advantage of excellent resource:; and an outstanding faculty. Undergraduates are admitted as freshmen or as transfer students for full-time or part-time study Application forms, appointments for interviews, and other information may be obtained by writing to the Office of Admissions, Morey Hall, River Campus Colleges, Rochester, New York 14627, or by calling (716) 275-3221.
Individual attention is given to each student from the time he or she first becomes interested in the U niversity. A large staff of counselors and many faculty members participate in the advising of applicants and review of applications. Admission decisions are based on a student's high school work, verbal and quantitative skills, recommendations from instructors and counselors, participation in school and community life, and, for transfer students, college course work already completed.
The University's strong commitment to undergraduate liberal arts education attracts students of varied interests, talents, goals, and social and economic backgrounds. Throughout the undergraduate years numerous interacting offices meet students' individual needs for academic and career counseling assistance, tutoring, and special services.
Recommended Preparation for Admission The University does not use a specific minimum for
high school or college grades or examination scores; it does seek students who can grow and mature intellectually through its academic programs a nd opportunities. Grades and test scores are not the only indicators of potential success. Because secondary schools va ry greatly in the diversity and quality of courses which they offer, it is important to know what a student has accomplished within his or her total environment. Therefore, students are evaluated in terms of their individual accomplishments.
The University recommends that students have sound basic preparation in several disciplines, because this background will enhance a student's academic success a t the college level. A strong secondary
school program usually includes four years of English with continuous practice in writing, four years of social studies, at least two years of a foreign language, three tu four years of mathematics, and two or more years of laboratory science. Honors, Regents, or Advanced Placement courses are expected of students in secondary schools offering these programs.
Several concentration programs at Rochester have science requirements. A prospective applicant intending to earn a B.S. degree in chemistry or chemical engineering or the B.A. degree in biology should have taken high school chemistry, and chemistry is strongly recommended for the applicant who designates a B.S. degree in nun;ing. Physics is required for admission to the B.S. degree in physics or in physics and astronomy and is highly recommended for all prospective engineering concentrators.
Interviews and Visits to the University The Office of Admissions is open all year on week
days from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for interviews and campus tc1urs. F01 the convenience of students and parents, the Office also is open un many Saturday mornings during the academic year. Weekday visits are preferred , however, so that candidates will have the opportunity to attend cla%es if they wish.
Prospective and current applicants, as well as interested parents, a re encouraged to visit the campus. Visiting students find that informal conversations with admission counselors, academic and career counselors, and faculty members in departments of their interest prove invaluable. Other offices, the departments of the colleges, and students work closely with the Office of Admissions in providing opportunities for interested students to learn about the University. Admission counselors are knowledgeable about the undergraduate curricula a nd the va rious facilities and special programs availahle to undergradua tes.
Students with questions concerning academic departments, student life, or extracurricular activities should write to the Office of Admissions; questions will be referred to faculty or staff members or to students for personal replies. Students planning to visit the campus are urged to write or call the Office in advance of their visits so that appointments can be
182 Admissions
made with faculty or staff members. Visiting students may attend classes. During the academic year, the Office of Admissions is often able to arrange overnight accommodations on campus for prospective students. Re4uests to stay on campus overnight should b.: made approximately two weeks in advance.
Applicants who live at some distance from Rochester may wish to arrange to have an informal interview and conversation with an alumni representative in their area. Please write or call the Office of Admissiom, for further information.
Travel Information The River Campus is located on Wilson Boulevard
at Elmwood Avenue. Motorists coming to Roche~tcr via the New York Thruway from the east should use exit 45, take 1-490 to the South Goodman Stret't exit, turn left on South Goodman to Elmwood Avenue, and right on Elmwood to Wilson Boulevard. A right turn on Wilson Boulevard leads to the River Campus and the visitor parking area (see the map on the inside back cover). From the south, take Route 15 to Elmwood Avenue, turn left on Elmwood , and proceed as above. From the west , use Thruway exit 47, take 1-490 to Route 47, and Route 47 south to the intersection of Elmwood Avenue and Wilson Boulevard. A lett turn onto Wilson Boulevard will lead to the visitor parking area. Rochester is served by American, Eastern, United, and U.S. Air airlines. The campus can be reached by taxicab from the airport in approximately 10 minutes. Greyhound and Trailways bus terminals are within walking distance of Main Street East, where Regional Transit Service Bus # 19 or a taxi may be taken to the River Campus. Transportation to Rochester is also provided by Amtrak trains.
Applying to Rochester Students may apply to enter Rochester for either the
fall or spring semester. Freshman applications shovld be ~ubmitted by November 1.5 for spring consideration and January 15 for fall consideration. Students wishing an early decision for the following fall should see the instructions that follow. Transfer applications (see page 184) are reviewed on a rolling admission basis, with no formal deadlines.
The following materia ls are required before the application review can begin: an official copy of a high school transcript, a recommendation from a counselor or faculty adviser, the SAT or ACT score report, and a completed University or Common Application Form
including an essay. Applicants are invited to submit additional instructor recommendations and other materiab which may be useful in the application review.
College t:nrrance Examinations. All applicants tor admission are required to take either the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) of the College Entrance Examination Board or the American College Test (ACT) of the American College Testing Program. Both are offered several times a year at centers throughout the world.
Scores from CEEB Achievement Tests are recommended but not required. However, students are urged to take Achievement Tests, particularly in areas such as English, a foreign language, mathematics, and other sciences, because the scores indicate the level of achievement in these areas and may prove valuable to both an admitted student and faculty and staff advisers in determining appropriate introductory college courses. For example, students may satisfy the College of Arts and Science foreign language requirement on the basis of a sufficiently high score on a foreign language Achievement Test. Applicants for admission should take the SAT or the ACT no later than February of the fina l year in secondary school for f::tll admission or no later than October for spring admtsston.
Application forms for the SAT and a Bulletin of lnforma:ion may be obtained from secondary schools or the College Entrance Examination Board, Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey 08540, or the Board's Pacific Coast Office, Box 1025, Berkeley., California 94701. Further information about the ACT can be obtained through secondary schools or by writing the American College festing Program, Box 168, Iowa City, Iowa 52240.
l::arlr Decision. Those students who decide that Roche~ter is their first choice may apply for an ea rly decision on their application. To be eligible for an early decision, the applicant should:
L submit the application before November 15 (see below for exceptions to this filing date),
2. sigr; the Early Decision Statement certifying intention to enroll at the University of Rochester if accepted under the Early Decision Program,
3. file the early version of the Financial Aid Form with the College Scholarship Service before Noverrber 15, if applying for financial aid.
Candidates are notified of the decision of the Committee on Admissions by December 15 and are ex-
pected to make formal acceptance of the offer of admission, including payment of the $200 enrollment deposit, by January 15.
Students who select Rochester as their first-choice college after November are welcome to request an early decision review in writing until February I. Notification will be made within three weeks of the receipt of all credentials, and admitted students will be expected to submit their enrollment deposits within three weeks of the date of notification.
Those not accepted under early decision procedures are notified that their applications will be considered under regular admission procedures early in the spring.
Notification of Admission Decision. An applicant for spring term admission will usually be notified within several weeks after the application is complete. Applicants for the fall semester will be notified between March 15 and April 15. Applicants for financial aid will be notified of financial aid action at the same time as, or shortly after, they are notified of admission. Students requesting a decision on or before a specific date because of special circumstances may receive an earlier notification provided that the application is complete. For fall admission, the University subscribes to the uniform Candidates' Reply Date whereby admitted students are not required to notify the University of their decision until May I.
Students who accept the offer of admission submit a nonrefundable deposit of $200. For those students who matriculate at the University, on the first day of classes the $200 becomes a security deposit which will be retained in a separate interest-bearing account. When the student graduates or withdraws with proper notice to the Dean's Office, the deposit, together with the interest earned, will be transferred to the student's account, and any resulting credit balances will be refunded .
Deferred Admission. Students who are offered admission may request a deferral of their admission for a period of up to one year. During the time of deferral, students may take a limited number of college courses for purposes of enrichment but not, under this arrangement, matriculate as full-time students at another college or university. Students deciding to attend another school for a semester or longer may at a future date reactivate their applications for transfer admission consideration. Students granted deferred admission should pay the enrollment deposit to reserve a place in the next class.
Admissions 183
Financial aid decisions are not deferred. Students granted deferred admission must resubmit an application for financial aid.
Applying for Admission to a Degree Program in Music
There are two kinds of bachelor's degree programs in music at the University and two different application procedures. The Eastman School of Music of the University of Rochester offers bachelor of music (B.M.) degrees in applied music, music composition, music theory, music history, and music education. Students in these programs live at the Eastman School campus in downtown Rochester. To apply for these programs, please write directly to the Director of Admissions, Eastman School of Music, 26 Gibbs Street, Rochester, New York 14604.
The College of Arts and Science offers a bachelor of arts (B.A.) degree with a music concentration (see page 102). This program is designed for students who wish half their courses to be in music and half to be in other liberal arts areas. Students in this program live on the River Campus but take most of their concentration courses in music at the Eastman SchooL Successful applicants for this program must be admitted by the College of Arts and Science and also auditioned and admitted by the Eastman School of Music. To apply, students should request both an application and the supplementary application forms for the B.A. in music from the Dean of Admissions of the River Campus Colleges, Morey Hall, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York 14627. In this program, students may emphasize either performance or music history a1td theory. Because some applied music departments at the Eastman School fill rapidly, students are advised to complete their applications and arrange auditions early in their senior year of high schooL
Foreign Students The University of Rochester welcomes applications
from foreign students. Admission is competitive, and students needing financial assistance should be aware that financial aid for citizens of foreign countries is limited. Foreign applicants are required to submit the same application materials and to take the same entrance tests as United States citizens. All correspondence and applications should be sent by air maiL Because the SAT and the ACT may not be given as often abroad, and scores take a longer time to be
184 Admissions
processed, foreign students are advised to write to the American College Testing Program or to the College Entrance Examination Board as soon as they decid e to app ly to the University to ascertain where and when the next test is offered in their area. T he SAT or ACT should be taken no later than J a nuary for fa ll admission consideration. Because it is often difficult to interpret and evaluate secondary school transc ripts fro m a broad, translations and explanations of grading systems should be submitted when necessary. The Ordinary and Advanced level examinations administered in many countries are strongly recommended when ava ilable, and the results will be considered both for admission and for placement.
Advanced Placement Entering students may receive course credit and / or
higher-level course placement at the University through the College Entrance Examination Board Advanced Placement Program. Advanced Placement score reports must be forward ed to the College of Arts and Science from the CEEB in Princeton. As soon as these reports are received, admitted students are notified about placement or course credit. During Freshman Orientation this information is used in course selection. Specific questions may be addressed to the Director of Orientation Programs in Lattimore Hall.
College Credit for Prior Course Work With the exception of CEEB Advanced Placement
work, the University normally does not recognize no r grant college credit for secondary school course work nor for courses taught in a seconda ry school by the school's own faculty for college credit.
Credit may be granted to entering students for prio r course work completed with a grade of "C-" o r above at ;1n accredited college or university. Upon receipt of an official transcript from the institution of higher learning where the student was enrolled , the course work will be evaluated to determine if it is equivalent in level and / or content to course work offered through the University of Rochester college awarding the degree. Students wishing to receive credit for such college work already completed or who are now cons idering ta king college or university courses elsewhere should ask the Academic Advising Office in Lattimore Hall for advice about credit transfer and / or selectio n of courses .
Tran'ifer Admission The University of Rochester encourages students
who have begun their academic careers at other colleges ·:Jr universities to continue their education here. Ordinarily, students who have previously enrolled for at least one semester of full-time study or who have completed a minimum of eight credit hours at another college or university after graduation from high school are eligible to apply for transfer admission. Students undertaking college-level course work as part of their high school program or in order to satisfy high school diploma requirements are eligible to enter as freshmen, although they are welcome to request academic credit for their college work.
Transfer students may apply for admissio n to either the fall or spring semester. Because appl ications for transfer admission are reviewed as soon as all of the necessary materials are received, it is to the student's advantage to complete an applicat ion well in advance of the semester for which he or she is applying. However, there is no formal deadline for submission of an application for students residing within the United States. All transfer applicants should submit scores from either the Scholastic Aptitude Test or the American College Test. Foreign students living outside the United States are required to submit the same documents and to take the same tests as are students living in the United States in order to complete their applications. Applications from candidates who would enter with more than three semesters of transfer cred it are reviewed by the particular department in which concentration is planned. After reviewing an a pplication, the Committee on Admissions, composed of faculty and staff members, notifies the cand idate of its decisio n within two to four weeks of the time the application is completed . The decision on financial aid is also announced at this time.
The College of Arts and Science and the College of Engineering and Applied Science each have as a requ irement for graduation a two-semester residency req uirement. Students must satisfactorily complete at least 12 cred its in each of the two semesters in order to be eligible for the bachelor's degree from the college from which they intend to graduate. Summer school course work ta ken after transfer to the College of Arts and Science or the College of Engineering and Applied Science does not apply toward this residency requi rement.
Transfer students are expected to fulfill all requirements set by the college in which they intend to earn

FINANCING AN EDUCATION Costs
Expense' to be anticipated in determining the cost of an education at Rochester can best be understood as a combination of fixed and variable expenses. Fixed costs are those payable directly to the University for !UttJOn, fees. and room and board for those living on campus and participating in a University board plan. f hose costs and information relevant to their payment are summari7.ed in detail below.
Variable ~xpenses are those which an individual ~;tudent finds necessary over and above these fixed costs. The largest single items of variable expense are likely to be books and transportation. Amounts spent for clothing, recreation, and personal items will differ widely according to the financml circumstances and persona l spend ing patterns of individuals.
On the basis of past experience and for purposes of assessing the need for financial aid, the Office of Admissions and Student Aid can estimate the average
River Campus: Fixed Cost Summary 1980-81
cost to an undergraduate fo r one year. Generally referred to as the estimated Hudent nudget, this figure for students living on campus during the 19~0-Rl aca·· demic year is $8,750 plus travel. Commuting students who live with their parents in the greater Rochester area may estimate an annual budget of $6,700.
Fixed Costs Tuition for tull-time undergraduates except junior
nursing students is $5,300 for the 19~0-81 academic year. A room in a campus residence, including linen service, is $1,270 per year The most comprehensive board plan (mandatory for resident freshmen) is $1 ,:!03 per year.

A compulsory health fee of $252 per year is charged to all full-time students. A credit of $136 will be given upon submission of a waiver for the benefits of the medical insurance portion of the health program.
All students pay an activity fee which is established annually by the student government. This fee is $64 for the academic year.
One-half of the annual fixed costs is charged each semester. One-half of the annual amount of allowable credits (such as University scholarships, state scholarships, and National Direct Student Loans) is credited, with the net balance payable in full prior to the beginning of each semester. The University offers a Monthly Optiun Plan which may provide a convenient alternative for budgeting and paying such costs. It combines the features of a prepayment and deferred payment program and allows the academic year expenses to be paid in I 0 installments. The first installment is due on July I for students entering the University in September. To help offset the cost of administering the plan, a fee of $35 is charged. Additional information and application forms are mailed to all students.
Financial Aid Recogniting that the cost of a quality ~:ducatio1~. is
high, the University has made a commitment to prPvide a sound program of financial aid. Financial aiJ awa rds administered directly by the University, including scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time campus employment, are held by approximatt>ly onehalf of our undergraduates. Financial aid to enrolling freshmen in September 1979 averaged over $4,500 from a combination of University, federal , state, and other sources of financial assistance. Through careful allocation of available resources, the University attempts to provide financial support for many who would otherwise be unable to attend. A complete listing of available scholarships begins on page 189.
A general discussion of student aid follows. Additional information is available from the Office of Admissions and Student Aid or the Office of Admissions and Registration, School of Nursing. A brochure,

/\feeLing Custs at Rachesler: A <Juiue fur All Prospective Undergraduate~. provides a comptehen~ive discussion of financial aid, including eligibility and application procedures for many sp~cific aiJ programs. This publication is available upon re4uest.
Making Application Applicants for financial aid must complete the fi
nancial aid section of the application for admission and must submit th~ Financial Aid Form to the appropriate regional office of the College Scholarship Service. This form usually is available from the secondary school; copies also may be obtained from the Office of Admissions and Student Aid. Freshman aid applicants should submit the re4uired forms by January 15. Transfer aid applicants should submit the forms at the same time they submit admission applications and also must provide documentation of all sources of financial aid received at the college from which transfer is being made. All applicants who are not United States citizens should file the financial Aid Application for Students !'rom Foreign Countries instead of the Financial Aid Form. This applicatwn is available from the Office of Admissions and Student Aid.
Basis for A wards Student aid, especially in the for m of scholarships,
is awarded on the basis ot merit. The amount of aid , however, is based on financial need and takes into consideration reasonable contributions from parents and the applicant toward meeting college costs. Applicants are cnnsid~red for all types of ~cholarships, loans, and employment fnr which they are qualified and eligible.
Not ification of action taken on an application for financial aid ordinarily accompanies the offer of admission. The amount of financial assistance is subject to subsequent adjustment if the applicant receives additional aid outside that which is under the direct administration of the University, or if changes in financial need become apparent. Students are expected to submit the appropriate applications fo r all outside awards for which they qualify, such as state scholarship programs and Basic Educational Opportunity Grants.
Whik the student may rightfully anticipate the continuation of financial assistance for four undergraduate years, awards are reviewed on an annual basis. and a renewal application must be submitted each spring. In reviewing applications tor renewal of awards, th~ University takes into account continuing
financial need, contributions to campus life, evidence of individual efforts to meet college expenses, and academic achievement at a level which assures satisfactory completion of degree requirements. In the determination of financial need, all resources available t o the student to help meet college costs are considered in the decision to contmue University-administered financial assistance.
Verification of Financial Information The University c:ndeavors to allocate its financial
aid resources as ecJuitably as possible. Because the a mount of aid awarded is determined by the financial need of the applicant, the Committee on Student Aid must have an accurate assessment of the family's financial ci rcumstances. With few exceptions, parents p rovide cand id and reliable financial information. Much of the information requested on the: Financial Aid F o rm, however, involves difficult estimates. In a minority of cases, therefore, financial informatwn reported may prove to be inaccurate, incumplete, or misleading.
F urthermore, the University is required to document the financial circumstances of federal fund recipients a nd m ust adhere to regulatiuns governing federal awards, particularly with regard to the eligibility of applicants according to financial need.
For these reasons, the University has joined other universit ies in requiring verification of financtal info rmation thro ugh submission of a copy of the preced .. ing yea r's Federal Income Tax Return. Specific inst ructions regarding this requirement are sent following a student's acceptance of an offer of admission and aid.

ACADEMIC SERVICES AND INFORMATION
Academic Advising Offices All undergraduate students are strongly encouraged
to use the services of the academic advising offices throughout their college careers. Staff members in these offices assist students in arranging their programs. suggesting courses. obtaining faculty advisers, a nd making the unavoidable paper work as simple as possible. Preliminary questions concerning interdepartmental studies and many other concentrations will be answered. The Study Abroad Office, University TutLlring Office. and Orientation Program Office are located in the College of Arts and Science Academic Advising Office. Lattimore 312. Located just (•Ubide Lattimore 312 is the Academic Information Counter, which serves as a focal point for satisfying quickly many routine academic inquiries, for making immediate appointments or walk-in arrangements tv see an academic adviser, and for providing fast referrals h.' other offices. T he counter is open on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., including the period from no.:>n to I p.m. Most College of Arts and Science f<Hms and general academic material can be picked up at this counter. Students should feel free to consult members of the staft whenever they have questions about courses, degrees, or any other academic matkr. The College of Engineering and Applied Science offer~ academic advising through a faculty advising system and the Dean's Office, Gavett 204.
Program Planning One of the University's goals is to help undergrad
uates plan an integrated program of study which will provide intelledual satisfaction and challenge. Program planning begins during Freshman Orientation and continues throughout a student's academic career at Rochester. Advice should be sought from faculty advisers and the college advising offices. Discussions with advisers are useful in working out a schedule of courses for a particular semester as well as an overall
plan for future semesters. Many of the special services designed to assist undergraduate students are described below. Students should feel comfortable at any time in directing specific questions to the academic advising offices of the colleges.
Program Planning Workshops and Registration
During summer orientation sessions. faculty members representing all River Campus academic areas are on hand to assist new students in choosing and registering for courses. In November and in March, Juring a period called "early registration," students already enrolled select their courses and submit their class schedules for the following semester to the Registrar. Each semester, just prior to early registration, the academic advising offices sponsor an advising workshop where faculty, staff, and student advisers are available to help in program planning and to answer questions about concentrations and the ways in which academic goals may be fulfilled .
F acuity Advisers Freshmen are encouraged to request a faculty ad
viser at the Academic Advising Office in the College uf Arts and Science after their arrival. Also, a panel of undergraduate faculty advisers maintains weekly office hours in the Academic Advising Office, Lattimore 312. For general questions, students are invited to make appointments with these advisers at the Academic Information Counter outside 312 or to call ( 716) 275-2354.
Students interested in degree programs in the College of Engineering and Applied Science have faculty advisers assigned to them at the beginning of the freshman year and are encouraged to consult with them fre4uently. Students who plan to receive degrees iu nursing also have faculty advisers assigned in the freshman year.
200 Academic Services and Information
Students in the College of Arts and Science, a fter being admitted to an area of concentration at the end of the sophomore year, are assigned faculty advisers in their area of concentration.
University Tutoring Program The University Tutoring Program is administered
through the College of Arts and Science Academic Advising Office. It was established to assist students who are having difficulty in achieving a satisfactory grade in a pa rticular course or courses. The tutor's role is to help provide the student with a better understanding of a subject and to help discover and remedy whatever is causing the student to be weak in that specific area.
This university-wide service provides, through a carefully selected group of tutors, supplementary tutorial assistance to students based on their ind ividual needs. Students interested m tutorial assistance should apply at the Academic Advising Office. Financial help to those students needing it may be a rranged through the Office of Admissions and Student Aid .
Only tutors approved by the University Tutoring Office will be paid for their services. Students interested in becoming tutors should apply at that office, after which their application will be processed by the Student Employment Office.
Study Skills Center Counselors in the Study Skills Center, Lattimore
107, assist students in examining their study habits and suggest ways that will help them study more effectively and efficiently through practice. (See page 21 I .)
Program of Courses A normal schedule for regularly enrolled students
is four courses per semester. This permits completion of the 32 courses required for graduation in eight semesters. Students are expected to take four yea rs for the degree. A few accelerate. Others occasionally find it necessa ry to make up work during the summer. Taking an extra course is not considered a means of speeding up the timetable for attaining a degree, but rather a means for enriching an academic program. Only students with a "B" or better average a re permitted to
take more than four and one-half courses per semester. This is referred to as an "overload." Fewer than four cc•urses is termed an "underload." First-semester freshmen are not permitted an overload. Programs of fewer than four courses (I 6 credit hours) or more than four and one-half courses ( 18 credit hours) must be approved by the dean of the college in which the student is enrolled. If credits in excess of the standard four-course load are used to accelerate completion of degree requirements, a retroactive tuition adjustment will be assessed for all overload courses counting toward degree requirements.
Course Definition T he ordinary unit of undergraduate instruct ion is
the course. Each course numbered between 100 and 399 carries the equivalent of four hours of cred it , except for some partial courses which carry one or two credit hours. Every full course requires approximately one-quarter of the student's working time for one term. Restrictions concerning prerequisites and approval required are noted in each semester's schedule of courses and must be observed carefully. In some cases, special forms are required and may be obtained in the academic advising offices of the colleges.
Course Numbering System 1- 99 Non-credit courses
100- 189 Introductory courses- usually at the freshman and sophomore level; no graduate credit
190- 199 Freshman preceptorials
200-299 Courses at the junior and senior level that may also ca rry graduate credit
300 Study Abroad
301- 399 Experimental courses, independent courses, courses toward degree with distinction or honors
400-489 Gradua te courses a t the master's level or the first year of grad ua te study; open to undergraduates by special permission
490-499 Master's-level reading o r research courses
500-589 Advanced or specialized graduate courses - usua lly at the doctora l level
590-599 Ph.D. reading or research cou rses
Class Attendance Each mstructor sets the regulations regarding atten
dance for each class; many do not make class attendance mandatory. However, consistent absence from class may determine whether or not students pass a course. When it is necessary to be absent because of travel or illness, students are expected to make arrangements with instructors for catching up on class work they miss.
Any illness that causes a student to be absent from class should be reported to the University Health Service, even if a physician not connected with the U niv.:rsity is sought for treatment. The Health Service submits to the college offices the names of all students who appear on the "sick list."
Student Retention Of the I ,089 full-time, first-time freshmen who en
rolled at the University of Rochester in the fall of 1974, 61.2 percent had graduated by spring of 1978; by fall of 1979, 65.7 percent had graduated and an additional 1.4 percent were still enrolled.
Special Academic Opportunities Student~ are encouraged to take courses offered by
any University school or college-or study elsewhere if necessary- to fulfill academic goals. Admission to certain courses re4uires special permission. Usually, this means permission of the instructor, whose signature is then required on the registration form. Special requirements must be met in the following instances:
Ajjlliated Area College Courses. Students who wish to take a course at one of the area colleges in order to complement their programs of study may obtain information and registration forms at the College of Arts and Science Academic Advising Office. Grades received in approved courses are noted on the transcript but are not used in computing the cumulative average.
Music Courses at the Eastman School ol Music. Students desiring to enroll in one of these courses should consult the Music Adviser on the River Campus. Registration forms for applied music courses are available from the Registrar's Office and the College of Arts and Science Academic Advising Office.
Audited Courses. If a student plans to participate in class sessions and work without earning a grade for a
Special Academic Opportunities lUI
course, and without earning credit toward a degree, the course may be included in the class schedule at the time of registration. There is no extra cost, but permission of the instructor in the class to be audited is necessary. The audited course will not appear on the transcript.
Bullerin Board Courses. These courses take their name from a practice of students who post the description of a new course they want offered on a special bulletin board. If enough student interest is generated, and if a faculty member can be enlisted to teach the proposed course, it is considered by a student-faculty committee and, it approved , is offered for full credit.
Freshman Preceptorials. Announcements of these offerings are advertised prior to each semester. Each preceptorial is open to about 15 freshmen in order to stimulate discussion and interaction between the instructor and students in a seminar setting. (See page 33.)
Graduate Courses. Qualified undergraduates may. with the written permission of the instructor and the approval of their dea n, register for graduate-level courses.
Honors Seminars. Special application is required in some cases. Courses and restrictions are listed in the schedule of courses.
Internship. These off-campus learning experiences require that arrangements be made by the beginning of the semester. A maximum of eight hours of credit for Rochester-area internship may count toward the degree. Admission to some programs is highly selective. Students who obtain approval from the Internship Committee for work outside the Rochester area may receive as much as a full semester's credit toward their degree. Questions should be addressed to the Academic Advising Office in Lattimore.
Study A broad. Foreign study is most effective when it forms an integral part of the student's academic program. Applicants should consider carefully the relation of a year abroad to their total program of study and future plans. Students interested in studying in Great Britain should file an application as early as possible during the fall semester of the year preceding study abroad. Students interested in programs in other countries should consult catalogs in the Study Abroad library, Lattimore Hall, for specia l application deadlines.
Study Abroad students pay an administrative fee to the University of Rochester and are eligible to submit
20:! Academic Services and Information
applications for renewal of partial aid during the period of foreign study. Prior to study abroad, an academic plan must be outlined and approved by the student's department of concentration and by the director of the program. Upon return to the campus, credit is awarded for work successfully completed in accordance with that plan. No letter grades are assigned for work done abroad, except for work taken through special University of Rochester programs. In these cases course titles and grades are recorded on the student's official transcript, but only grades earned in internships supervised by University of Rochester faculty are averaged into the cumulative grade-point average. See page 16 for University of Rochester program information.
Independent SIUdy Courses. Arrangements mus t be made with appropriate faculty members prior to the beginning of the semester for these special reading or research courses. An Independent Studies Form, describing the nature of the course, is submitted to the college advising office after the signatures of the faculty member and department chairman have been obtained . At the conclusion of the term the instructor provides a written evaluation of the student's progress. The Independent Studies Form and the evaluation are kept in the student's academic file. Students are eligible to apply for a four-credit-hour independent course each semester. Independent study courses re4uired specifically for a concentration are listed under departmental offerings. Internships (see page 20 I) provide another kind of independent study.
Summer Sehoul ( ·aurses. Credit for ~ummer study may re4uire approval from the department offering comparable work at the University of Rochester. Further information and approval forms are available at the college advising offices. Approved summer work completed with a grade of "C-" or better is recorded in terms of course credit. Summer course credit is not u~ed in computing the student's cumulative average. Students in the College of Engineering and Applied Science may count approved summer courses at U niversity College for credit and grades toward an engineering degree.
University Colle{{e Courses. Full-time students in the College of Arts and Science and the College of Engineering and Applied Science may normally receive credit for courses taken in the University College of Liberal and Applied Studies only by permission, when a desired course is otherwise unavai lable, and for a course compara ble to a College of Arts and Science offering. A master list of comparable courses and approval forms are available at the college advising offices. University College courses may be counted
for technical electives toward a degree from the College of Engineering and Applied Science, provided they are approved by the undergraduate committee in the student's department.
"X" Perivd. Students who wish to work with faculty members on individual "X" Period projects must obtain the written approval of the faculty members.
Double Majors Students enrolled in the College of Arts and Science
or in the College of Engineering and Applied Science may choose to pursue two concentrations, provided that both lead to the same bachelor's degree. In most instances students may do so by fulfilling concurrently the ~oncentration re4uirements determined by each of the two departments and by receiving written permission (usually on the concentration forms) from the respective concentration advisers to pursue a double major in the other area. Questions concerning double majors can be addressed to the college advising offices and the appropriate concentration advisers.
Double Degrees Students who plan a program leading to more than
one baccalaureate degree, such as a bachelor of a rts and a bachelor of science, are required to meet all requir.::ments for each degree and to augment the mi nimum number of courses or credits usually required for either degree. The amount of augmentation will be determined individually by faculty members and deans in each area, taking into account the quality of work submitted. The approval forms are available in the dean's offices of the colleges awarding undergraduate degrees. Students who wish to complete work in two areas of concentration as part of a single degree need only obtain approval for each concentration a nd for the double major (see Double Majors above). T he requirements for double degrees within the College of Engineering and Applied Science are specified on page 141.
Academic Procedures Course Changes
Course programs may be changed after the beginning of the semester. It is necessary to obtain a Change Notice (drop-add form) from the a ppropriate academic advising office. It is possible to withdraw from a course, add a course, or drop one course and substit ute another.
Students in the College of Arts and Science may add courses through the fourth week and drop them without penalty through the last day of classes. After the third week (thirteenth week in the case of first-semester freshmen and transfer students during their first semester), the drop action and the week of the semester in which the course is dropped arc recorded on the transcript.
Students in the College of Engineering and Applied Science may add or drop a course during the first seven weeks. Courses added require the instructor's signature. Courses which are dropped in the first seven weeks will be deleted from a student's record. Courses may be dropped after the seventh week, with the instructor's consent. When signing the Change Notice, the instructor will specify either a drop-delete (no record on the transcript) or a drop with a "W" and a letter grade (if the instructor believes one can be determined). The "W ," along with the letter grade if assigned, appears on a student's transcript but does not affect the grade-point average.
School of Nursing courses may not be <Uided after the start of the semester; courses may be dropped at any time during the semester with the permission of the Dean.
In all colleges, course changes can be made only if the college's deadline is met, if the instructors of the affected courses approve, and if the change meets the provisions outlmed earlier for overload or underload schedules. Students in the College of Engineering and Applied Science must also obtain the approval of their faculty adviser and dean's office.
Student Petitions The faculty of each college establishes degree re
quirements within that college. The faculty recognizes that there are instances in which interpretations are required and exceptions should be made. The Administrative Committee of each college, comprising both faculty and students, reviews requests for exceptions to faculty regulations.
Students seeking exceptions to regulations must submit a written petition to their academic advising office for review by the appropriate committee. It is an advantage to discuss the content of the petition with a faculty or academir adviser before submitting the petition. Students will be informed in writing of the committee's artion.
Satisfactory-Fail Option Undergraduate students are encouraged to venture
Academic Procedures 203
outside areas of their concentration, investigate new disciplines, and discover new, perhaps unsuspected, interests. If the student chooses, the satisfactory-fail option may reduce anxiety about electing a course in an area in which the student has had little or no prior experience.
Students enrolled in the College of Arts and Science and the College of Engineering and Applied Science may elect to take one course per semester up to a maximum of eight courses and receive grades of Satisfactory lS) or Fail (F). The grades ''S" and "F" do not affect the cumulative grade-point average.
Instructors assign and submit regular letter grades for students choosing this option, as they are not informed which students have elected the option. The Registrar records "S" for letter grades "A" through "[)-" or "F" for the letter grade "E" on the student's permanent record, retaining the letter grades "A" through "E" on file. Students who are interested in conveying maximum information on the transcript to professional and graduate schools should speak to an adviser prior to electing the option.
Students enrolled in the College of Arts and Science may declare the option through the third week of classes, and, except for first-semester freshmen and transfer students who may change or declare the option through the thirteenth week of that semester, the option may not be changed. The option may not be elected for courses used to fulfill concentration or distribution requirements or to satisfy the English requirement.
Students enrolled in the College of Engineering and Applied Science must declare the option in the Dean's Office, Gavett Hall, during the seventh week of the semester. Once declared, the option may not be changed. Students planning degrees from the College of Engineering and Applied Science should note that courses taken with the satisfactory-fail option may be used to satisfy distribution or English requirements (sec page 140) or as free electives for an engineering degree. Further, all courses taken beyond those required for a degree may be taken with the option.
Procedure for "Incomplete" If a student in the College of Arts and Science or the
College of Engineering and Applied Science is unable to complete course work by the end of the semester, a form requesting a grade of "Incomplete" should be obtained from the student's college advising office. This form, indicating the work outstanding and the deadline for its completion, must be signed by both
204 Academic Services and Information
the student and the instructor and submitted to the appropriate college office. In both colleges, the student's failure to complete the form may result in the assignment of the grade of "E" for the course. At the time the course is completed, the "I" on the transcript will be slashed ("J") and a grade recorded. Failure to complete the course work will result in a grade of "E" for the course.
In the School of Nursing, a student receiving an "Incomplete" must complete the course work prior to the beginning of the following semester. A form requesting the "Incomplete" grade may be obtained from the Office of Admissions and Registration in Helen Wood Hall and must be completed according to the instructions on the form. Failure to file this form will result in a grade of "E" for the course.
Repeating a Course for a Grade There are times when students wish to demonstrate
on their official record that they understand the material better than their grades indicate. Students are encouraged to discuss with their advisers the appropriateness of retaking a course for a better grade. When a course is repeated for a grade, only the second grade is used in computing the grade-point average, although both grades appear on the transcript.
Senior Year in Absentia Students in the College of Arts and Science who are
admitted to a professional or graduate school at the end of their junior year may be eligible to spend their senior year in absentia. All distribution and concentration requirements should be completed by the end of the junior year. Those students considering a senior year in absentia should discuss the possibility in the Academic Advising Office and petition the Administrative Committee for approval. If in absentia status is approved, the student will earn a baccalaureate degree from the University of Rochester following successful completion of the first year in the graduate or professional program. Students who have spent their junior year abroad will not receive approval to spend the senior year in absentia.
Because a student's most advanced work can be done in the senior year, the College of Engineering and Applied Science and the School of Nursing do not encourage their students to take that year in absentia. Students interested in attending other colleges as special students or in beginning medical or law school early should consult their faculty advisers.
Withdrawal and Inactive Status If a student contemplates withdrawal from the U ni
versity at any time, the appropriate academic advising office should be consulted. Failure to notify the appropLate dean's office of intended withdrawal by the date specified in the calendar will result in forfeiture of the enrollment deposit.
Students wishing to spend a semester or more away from the University to work, to travel, or to study at another institution may apply for "inactive" status in their . .c~cademic advising office. Those students who are placed on inactive status pay a nominal fee, receive pre-registration materials, and maintain housing priority in accordance with their classification.
Students holding residence halls contracts who withdraw or are withdrawn from the University for any reason should be aware that their residence halls contracts are automatically cancelled upon receipt of a withdrawal notice from the appropriate academic advising office and that the withdrawn student has no further claim to any previously assigned space. Students who are reinstated by the University and who wish to live in the residence halls must submit a new contract, and they will be placed on a space-available basis. These conditions also apply to students in absentia, Study Abroad students, students in internship programs, and students going on inactive status who request reinstatement for the semester in which they onginally had intended to be away.
Adjustment of Charges, Withdrawal and Inactive Status
For students who withdraw or declare inactive status during the first four weeks of the semester, tuition and :esidence halls room charges will be adjusted according to the schedule that follows. The period fo r tuition adjustment will be measured from the beginning :Jf classes to the withdrawal date determined by the appropriate academic dean's office. The period for adjustment of the room charge will be measured from the first day of scheduled room occupancy to the date of contract termination.
Withdrawal during first seven days: 80% reduction of semester charges
Withdrawal during second seven days: 60% reduction of semester charges
Withdrawal during third seven days: 40% reduction of semester charges
Withdrawal during fourth seven days: 20% reduction of semester charges
Withdrawal after fourth seven days: no reduction of semester charges
rhe board charge, after deduction of a fixed facilities charge, will be adjusted on a daily prorated basis measured from the beginning of the contract period to the date of contract termination.
Adjustment of Financial Aid, Withdrawal and Inactive Status
Because financial aid is based upon total anticipated costs, adj us tments in these costs because of withdrawal ordinarily will result in a reduction of previously committed financial assistance. The calculation of the reduction will be made by the Financial Aid Officer after verification of the date of withdrawal by the Dean and the determination of actual costs by the Bursar and the Director, University Services Division. Any allowa ble refund will then be issued to the student.
The Grading System, Transcript, and Degrees Grades
The undergraduate grading system for all R1ver Campus colleges is as follows:
Letter Performance Grade Grade Level Points
A Excellent 4.0 A- 3.7 8+ 3.3 8 Above Average 3.0 8 - 2.7 C+ 2.3 c Minimum Satisfactory Grade 2.0 c- 1.7 D+ 1.3 D 1.0 D - Minimum Passing Grade 0.7 E Failure 0.0
Grades which carry no grade points:
I Incomplete W Withd raw without effect on the grade-point
average P Pass (mandatory grading syste m in ce rtain
courses) S Satisfactory (Satisfactory-Fail option) F Failure (Satisfactory-Fa il option)
Academic Procedures 205
Dean's List An overall semester grade-point standing of 3.0 and
completion of four full courses are required for a student to be named to the Dean's List. For example, a student who receives grades of "A," "B," "B," and "C" would have a 3.0 grade-point average and would qualify for placemt'l1t nn the Dean's List.
Probation and Separation !he colleges regularly review the academic progress
of registered students and act to place on probation or separate those not making satisfactory progress toward their degree. The standards for "satisfactory progress" are: • An overall (or cumulative) grade-point standing for
a ll semesters completed of at least 2.0 • A grade-point average for the latest semester of at
least 2.0 • Acceptance in to an a rea of concentration before
achieving junior standing • A paid-up term bill.
Usua lly, a college warns a student of impending difficulty by placing him o r her on probation for a semester before considering separation. Students on probatio n are encouraged to seek advising, tutoring, and counseli ng assistance. Any student whose enrollment is co ntinued will be considered to be in good academic stand ing.
The dean of the college can be asked to review actions on separat io n. Any request must be made in writing. Reviews are granted only when pertinent new evidence is presented.
T he lJ niversity retains the right to determine the student's sta tus within the lJ niversity. The University has discret ionary powers to maintain a student's enrollment, to grant academic grades, to authorize graduatio n, or to confer any degrees or grant any certificates. Each student concedes to the University the right to require the st udent's wi thdrawal at any time for any valid reason.
Academic Honesty C heating or plagiarism is a concern not only of the
student and the professor invo lved , but of the ent ire University. Eac h student is expected to perform all required work without imp roper or unauthorized help .
Find ings of gu il t or innocence in cases of suspected academic dishonesty are decided by the Board on Academic Ho nesty, not by individual faculty members
206 Academic Services and Information
or proctors. When a complaint is received by the chairman of the Board, the student's enti re file is reviewed and a decision is made whether or not to bring a charge of academic dishonesty. After due notice to the student, the Board hears and decides the case, giving the st udent a fair opportunity for defense against the charge .
The Board forward' its findings, the complete file on the student, and its recommendation for ac tio n to the dean of the 'tudent's college. Appeals fro m penalties imposed by the dean may be made to the President of the University.
Grade Reports Students receive grade reports from the Registrar's
Office at the conclusion of each semester. The report includes: cou rses taken, grades received , credit hours earned , and semester and cumulative grade-point averages.
Parents or guardians of dependent students will receive grade reports a pproximately three weeks after the semester ends. It is the policy of the University to co nsider all students dependent un less they formally declare their independence. Procedures to be followed are available in thei r college dean's office.
Academic Transcripts Offic ial academic transcripts, which incl ude a rec
ord of the student's entire undergraduate program, are issued by the Regis trar's Office to other institutions or prospective employers at the student's written request. The University reserves the right to withhold acad emic transcripts in the event of an outstanding balance owed the Univers ity.
Bachelor's Degree cum Laude, Magna cum Laude, and Summa cum Laude
T he College of Arts and Science recognizes outsta nding college-wide achievement of its students by awardi ng these degrees. The dean of the College assigns the levels of award , based on crite ria established by the Steering Committee of the Facul ty Council.
Bachelor's Degree with Distinction T he bachelor's degree may be awarded in three
grades of distincti on: with distinction, with high distinction, and with highest d istinction. This award is
based on performance in special programs and course sequences established by individual departments or colleges. Students interested in further information on standards for degrees with distinction should consult the undergraduate adviser in their area of concentration.
Bachelor's Degree with Honors Selected concentrators in the fields of biology, mi
crobiology, and political science may follow programs leadi ng to the bachelor's degree with honors. Descriptions of these programs are included in the departmental listings.
Transferring Within the University College of Engineering and Applied Science
Engineering students enroll in the College of Arts and Science for the first two years. Those who have met the requirements (see pages 3 I-32) for their particular programs are then admitted to the College of Engineering and Applied Science fo r the last two years. Students should seek assistance from engineering faculty members, particularly their faculty ad visers (assigned early in the fresh man year) , and Dean's Office perso nnel to help insure that first-year courses bot h explore potential areas of concentration and prepare the student for each one which might be chosen. Students who satisfactorily complete the four-year sequence receive a B.S. degree in chemical engineering, electrical engineering, engineering and applied science, geomechanics, mechanica l engineering, or optics.
Students who wish to enrich their program in the libera l arts can devote a total of five years to undergraduate study . The ext ra year may be used to satisfy requirements for a bachelor of a rts degree in addition to the bachelo r of science degree in engineering.
School of Nursing Stud ents intending to complete wo rk fo r a degree in
the School of Nursing are directed to the requirements, page 185 of this bulletin.
Members of the School of Nursing faculty are appointed as advisers to students declaring their intention to major in nursing. Therefore, students are encouraged to declare their intention early.

CAREER AND COUNSELING SERVICES
Students considering graduate. studies or employment obtain help from faculty and staff members, college and departmental offic.:s, and the centers described below. Students seek advice and assistance from appropriate departmental advisers and departmental of
fices in conjunction with utilizing the following resources and services.
Career Services and Placement Center
The Career Services and Placement Center offers advising and assistance to undergraduates, graduate students, and alumni who are preparing and applying for admissio n to professional and graduate schools, and to those who are seeking career information or full-time employment. The Center is used primarily by students and alumni of the College of Arts and Science, the College of Engineering and Applied Science, and the Graduate School of Education and Human Development. Faculty committees, staff advisers, and career counselors help students plan programs most likely to enhance their credentials. Located on the second floor of Lattimore Hall, the Center is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Upon request from a student, an individual credentials file will be set up and maintained by the Center's staff. The file will contain letters of recommendation which the student has requested from faculty members and employers with whom he or she has studied or worked . Additional information maintained in the credentials file may include a resume, prepared by the student with the assistance of the Center's counselors; an unofficial transcript; records concerning the transmission of the student's credentials; and copies of correspondence. When the time comes for students to submit applicatwns for fellowship awards, special honors, the Rochester Plan Early SelectiOn Program, graduate or professional schools, or employment, the file becomes a necessary and valuable source of information. In addition, when appropriate a nd at the student's request, letters of recommendation are prepared and forwarded by the Career Services and Placement Center.
All students are encouraged to become familiar with the resourct's of the Center early in their college careers. Whether a student has as yet no definite career objective, has many possible career goals, or has one seemingly definite objective as an entering fresh man, it is not too soon to start exploring opportunities and to start thinking about and preparing for life after college.
A student's introduction to the Center may be to come in and look over the library. It contains general reference material such as Peterson's Annual Guide to Graduate Study and information on fellowships; other graduate catalogs from universities; career information such as the Occupational Outlook Handhook and (Juide to Careers Through Colle~?<' Majors; information on careers and employment in education, including job vacancies; catalogs for law schools and graduate schools of business; catalogs for graduate programs in the health professions; files containing specific descriptions of careers or programs in over 50 health care and health science professions; files containing career descriptions or programs on over I 00 other careers from accounting/ auditing to zoology; a file on federal career and employment opportunities; and files for employers · ·-many of whom recruit at the U niversity- describing ~omething about the company and their employment opportunities. Magazines including the Journal uf Medical Education, (JraJuating Engineer, and Juris Ductur (for the new lawyer) are displayed for reading in the library. In addition, students may pick up their own copy of many University brochures on departments and special programs. A staff member or counselor familiar with the library is always available to help students find what they need. Appointments can be made in the library for preprofessional career and placement counseling and advice. Confidentiality, recommendation, and resume forms for setting up a credentials file are available there.
If a student is considering the possibility of professional school for law, busi ness, one of the health professions, or education, he or sh.: can consult with one of the advisers who specializes in that area, learn about sp.:cial workshops and informational meetings with faculty members and staff, plan to attend one of the annual care.:rs fairs wher.: professionals from the community speak to students on a one-to-one basis,
208 Career and Counseling Services
and become acquainted with specific sections of the Center's library.
Students who are unsure about their career goals, or who arc having difficulty in matching their interests with a career area, may find it helpful to a ttend some of the special panel presentations, discuss specific careers with volunteers from RACE RS (Rochester Alumni Career Exploration Referral Service), or join a career decision-making group run jointly by Counseling and Psychological Services and the Career Services and Placement Center.
Each year from September through May the placement staff arranges for about 200 firms to visit the River Campus for individual employment interviews with seniors and graduate students. Background information about these and other firms, federal a nd state departments and agencies, and their employment opportunities are maintained on file in the Center's library. Students who plan on immediate employment after graduation are encouraged to begin pursuing this information early and to seek advice from a placement counselor. In preparation for employment applications and interviews, the staff helps students learn how to analyze their job-related skills, to prepare an effective resume, and to ha ndle a n interview situation with poise and confidence. Interview skills workshops are held several times each semester. Current job opportunities for openings in business, government, and industry are maintained throughout the year. Whatever the anticipated field, the Center will work actively to acquaint the student with job possibilities in his or her a rea(s) of interest.
Of those students in the C lass of 1979 who reported their plans to the Career Services and Placement Center, 50 percent were accepted into gradua te or professional school and 36 percent entered employment. At the time of that survey (in the summer after graduat ion) the plans for 10 percent of the graduates were not yet final.
Generally, five of every 10 students at the University of Rochester go on to professiona l or graduate studies, many in the best programs in the country, after earning the bachelor's degree. Below are detailed descriptions of several of the specialized preprofessional advising services available.
Health Professions At the University of Rochester the educationa l
needs of students preparing for careers in the hea lth professions and hea lth sciences a re fulfi lled through a
broad curriculum and a comprehensive advising program. Ample opportunities are provided for students to test their talents in medical research. Faculty members from both the River Campus and the Medical Center are involved in the teaching and advising of undergraduates. The discontinuity between health science and general education and between preprofessiona l and professional education in the health sciences is being removed (see the Rochester Plan). The proximity of the Medica l Center to the River Campus has enabled the University to offer preprofessional students in the classroom and in the laboratory the opportunity to acquire knowledge concerning the operation of the health care system and the roles of health professionals.
Admission to graduate degree programs in the health professions and health sciences is highly selective. Applicants must have excellent academic credentials as well as personal commitment, knowledge of the health sciences and health care issues, and experience in a health care environment. For example, nationally only one of every three applicants gains admission to medical or denta l school. At the University of Rochester, 65 percent of those seniors who applied last year are now in medical school and over 92 percent were accepted to dental school.
Graduate and professional schools encourage preprofessional students to pursue a baccalaureate degree program in the libera l arts. Even students pursuing professiona l degrees at the bacca laureate level (see School of Nursing) are required to complete the first two years in a liberal arts curriculum. Students may choose a concentration in the humanities, social sciences, or engineering as an alternative to a concentration in the natural sciences. In order to encourage diversity in study, the College of Arts and Science does not offer a concentration in "premed," "predent," or any other preprofessional area. With the assistance of counselors in the Career Services and Placement Center and faculty advisers from both the River Campus and the Medica l Center, students develop an integrated program. Although professional schools usually have core course admission requirementsincluding an academic year of general chemistry, organic chemistry, general physics, college mathematics, and biology beyond the introductory level- most of these schools a lso recommend familiarity with a broad spectrum of disciplines. In order to qualify for admission to many medical and dental schools, a year of English is required .
Health professions counseling begins d uring the Freshman Orientation Programs and continues through-
out a nd sometimes beyond four years. Preprofessional students are encouraged to utilize fully the Career Services and Placement Center facilities , where they can seek advice from health professions counselors, establish a credentials file during the freshman year for use later on, and explore informational materials in the hea lth professions library. The library contains graduate catalogs, specialized admission and reference books, a section devoted to career and graduate program descriptions, relevant articles and magazines, as well as advising booklets prepared by the U niversity of Rochester.
The Rochester Plan Several years ago, a group of faculty members a nd
administrators at the University of Rochester began to study ways of improving education for the health professions. T he University proposed to organize its resources- faculty, facilities, and counseling servicesinto the Rochester Plan. In November 1975 the first of two grants was awarded to the University by the Commonwealth Fund to assist in its design, operation, and evaluation. The Plan continues to evolve. Because the structure of health education is complex and the problems of different areas are intertwined, the Plan is a rich and subtle blending of many components: curriculum development a nd change, including design and implementation of new degree programs; improvement of undergraduate academic and career counseling; a nd integration of undergraduate and medica l education.
T he Rochester Plan helps students prepa re for satisfying careers while they reap simultaneously the full benefits of a liberal education. It is a University-wide effort that crosses traditional boundaries between departments a nd colleges.
The choice of a career in the health professions should be a positive decision evolving fro m the student's own interests, talents, and humanitarian concerns. Such a decision should be based on an education which includes strong health sciences courses and courses relevant to an understanding of the scientific, historical, legal, social, and ethical issues of hea lth care. Whenever possible, students should have familiarity with specific careers, the roles of hea lth professionals, a nd the interaction of a hea lth ca re team. T o accomplish these ends, new courses and programs, many of them interdisciplina ry, are being introduced.
A clearinghouse service and a n undergraduate fellowship progra m have been fo rmulated to encourage
Career and Counselinf? Services 209
undergraduate 'tudents to pursue independent research and study during the summer and academic year. The Rochester Plan Summer Project Program has assisted enterprising students in finding and pursuing opportunities to work in research laboratories a nd on research studies with faculty members on the River Campus and in the Medical Center.
An early selection program provides the opportunity for up to I o sophomores to be granted early admission to the University of Rochester med ical school each year. After completing two years of libera l arts education, students granted ea rly selection design, under the guidance of faculty advisers, individual four-· year programs integrating undergraduate a nd preclinical medical education. The final two years are devoted to traditional clinical study. Alth;mgh the normal eight-yea r time sequence needed to ea rn the B.A. (or B.S.) a nd the M.D. degrees is not shortened, the integration of courses during the middle four years allows students freedom to develop perso nal ized programs usually not possible under the regular four-four, premedical-medical sequence. Some students are able to develop and combine B.A.-M.A. or B.S.-M .S. programs while simultaneously completing the preclinica l medica l requirements.
For more information about health professions a t the University of Rochester, please write to Hea lth Professions Advising, Career Services and Placement Center, Lattimore Hall, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York 14627.
Nursing The major purpose of graduate educa tion in nursing
is the scholarly pursuit of knowledge a bout humankind in health and illness. Focused on tomorrow and designed for the student whose career goal is leadership for flex ible and innovative professional practice, graduate education includes the study of the basic sciences and humanities, the development of an advanced level of competence in a clinical a rea, and the development of research and leadership skills. While mainta ining professional individuality, the student a lso learns to function collaboratively with other disciplines and professions. F urther info rma tion about master's and doctoral education in nursing may be obtained from the University of Rochester School of Nursing Graduate Studies Office, from graduate program catalogs of schools of nursing, a nd by writing to the National League fo r Nursing, 10 Columbus C ircle, New York, New York 10019.
210 Career and Counseling Services
Law The most important criteria used by law schools in
evaluating a candidate for admission are the individual's undergraduate record, the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) score, and the quality of the undergraduate institution.
Prelaw students at the University of Rochester have an extraordinarily wide range of options available in shaping their undergraduate curricula. From the point of view of the law schools, a student's undergraduate major is relatively unimportant. Whatever major a prelaw student chooses, law schools will be interested primarily in the breadth and depth of the intellectual challenges represented by the overall undergraduate record.
We are concerned that our students make the best use of the University's offerings for their personal intellectual growth as well as in preparation for the study of law. For each of the past five years, something over 85 percent of University of Rochester students seeking admission to law school have been accepted at one or more schools. This is well above the national average.
Prelaw advising is offered through the Career Services and Placement Center in Lattimore Hall. With the assistance vf faculty members and deans, the prelaw advisers offer students, on a daily basis, detailed academic information and advice about undergraduate preparation at Rochester, law school admission criteria, the procedure for applying, and careers in the lega l profession. The prelaw advisers are in regular contact with law school deans and staff, and with Rochester graduates now enrolled in law schools, in order to provide current undergraduates with up-todate, practical, and factual information. rhey continually collect and analyze data , including the gradepoint averages and !.SAT scores of all those offered admission to individual law schools each year. Beyond using published data, the prelaw advisers do their own surveys of law schools around the country. ln addition to the advice based upon data, the prelaw advisers provide opportunities for students to obtain direct advice from visiting law school representatives and from practicing lawyers. The following are among the special services provided by the prelaw specialists and the Career Services and Placement Center.
A d visinJ,; meetings acquaint prospective la w school applicants with the ABC's of the application process, including information about preparing to take the LSAT, compiling recommendations in a credentia ls
file , the best time to apply, and other ways to enhance the applicants' chances.
A nnw;llr revised Universilr publications include two booklets, Undergraduate Preparation for the Legal Profession and Guide 10 the Application Process f or Law School; information about where the most recent Rochester applicants were accepted, rejected, and/ or wait-listed; and The Law School Locator which enables students to see at a glance the median gradepoint average and LSAT scores of students accepted at law schools throughout the country for the preceding year. Used in conjunction with the Pre-Law Handhuuk the Locator contributes substantially to Rochester\ high rate of successful application to law school.
On-campu:s visits by law school representatives each fall semester include deans or other admission officers from 15 to 20 law schools who meet informally with prospective and current applicants individually or in small groups.
Recent law school J,;raduates are invited to speak about their experiences in law school to all prospective and interested prelaw students. S peaking personally and often having very dissimilar backg rounds, they compare undergraduate and professional t ra ining, citing what they discovered to be useful and needed as pc.rt ·Jf their preparation and what law schoo l study entails.
The Law Career Options Panel each fall includes six experienced lawyers from a variety of settings, ranging from a legal assistance office to co rporate work, who speak about their roles, often provide brief biographical sketches, and profile a typical day in their lives.
Comments from recent Rochester Kraduates now enrolled in lav.· school are available in a notebook in the prelaw library, so that students may have a source of info rmation from knowledgeable colleagues. T he ca ndid replies reflect a rea l concern for their prospective classmates and are full of sound advice, humor, and common sense.
Early in their college careers, prospective preprofessional students are advised to set up credentials .files for the purpose of compiling- over the next three to four years- - recommendations from professors a nd employers. At the time a student applies to law scho ols, a curnpositt! leila of recommenda tion based upon a nd using these materials is sent to each law school to which a student applies.
Just as the Association of American Law Schools stresses the necessity of a strong liberal arts education, the Associat ion also notes the importance of gaining some familiarity with the legal prolession before deciding to apply to law school. Such exposure may be valuable to the admission committee of a law school; but, even more important, it will ass ist students in making a wise career choice. At Rochester, students have direct personal contact with lawyers through the programs al ready mentioned above; and, in addition, the University offers academic opportunitie~ . including internships, for students to gain firsthand expe1 ience with lawyers a nd their activities.
Counseling and Psychological Services (CPS)
C PS is located in Lattimore 107. Counselors ca n be seen by appointment Monday th rough F riday from 9 a. m. to 5 p.m. An appointment can be made in person o r by calling extension 2361 d uring off ice hours.
CPS offers counseling services to help students with personal, vocational , and educational concerns. Specific help is available for interpersonal relationship problems, clarifying vocational goals, improving academic effect iveness, ha ndling externa l pressures, and coping with interna l stress and discomfort.
Academic effectiveness is a maj o r concern of ma ny students, and CPS offers a number of specialized programs to meet this need. These programs include assistance with:
Reading Effect iveness- improving reading effectiveness th rough individually tailored programs.
S tudy Skills- mastering texts a nd other assigned readings; preparing fo r and ta king exams; organizing a nd using time effec tive ly; listening; memory skills.
Examination A nx iety- reducing a nxie ty that may be interfering with performance on exams.
Academic Mo tivation- exploring a nd achieving academic motivatio n. Sessions a re semistructured a round such topics as "Why a m I in school?" o r " How ca n I decide on what to study?" or "What do I want from college?"
Writing Skills- providing a n opportu nity to develop writing ski lls; working on problems in researching, organizing, and articulating without the pressu res inherent in course work.
Career anJ Counseling Servires ] II
Ma1honancul Skills- acquiring mathematical thmking skills at an appropriate level to assist in implementing academic and/ or career plans. The primary aim of this service is not remediation, but enhancement.
All of C PS's services are offered on a confidential basis. The content of conversations with a counselor will not be released to anyone without the student's written consent. Staff members are willing to see students who a re not yet sure they need particular help. It is often useful to talk with someone in order ti.l express feelings about how things are going.
A number of other advising and counseling resources are described in this catalog. Of these, the mental health section of the University Health Servict' IS another particularly fine resource for perso nal counseling assistance.
Testing The Testing Office administers testing programs
a nd services in conjunction with counseling and, in addition, administers those tests which are required fo r advanced work or spec ial progra ms.
Additiona l information about testing programs can be obtained in the Testing Office in Lattimore 312. Recent changes in New York S ta te law make it advisable fo r students to consult the Testing Office for current information regard ing test administration and reporting of results. The major testing programs administered by this office in recent years include:
Foreign Language Proficiency Examina tions G raduate Record Exam ina tion America n Dental Associatio n Aptitude Test Law School Admission Test Gradua te Management Admissio n Test (GMAT) New York S tate Proficiency Exams G radua te School Foreign Language T est Test of English as a Foreign La nguage Natio nal Teacher Examinat ions
Questions a bout other nationa l testing programs should be directed to the Testing Office. If the tests in q uestion a re not given th~::re, students will be referred to the proper locations.

STUDENT LIFE
T ht> University recognizes that students develop not only intellectually, but physica lly, emotionally, and socially as well. This development is supported by the services and informal educational opportunities provided through the professional staffs of several
~tudent services departments. Many students consider their informal learning ex
periences outside the classroom to be among thei r mu~t significant and enduring experiences as undergraduates. In many instances these experiences complement students' academic and intellectual development; in others, they are simply for relaxation and enjoyment. Informal learning at Rochester includes broadly diversified opportunities in major areas of involvement: intramura l sports, interco llegiate spo rts, individualized sports skills, religious life, intercultu ral programs. informal lea rning experiences geared t•) personal development, clubs and activities, residence hall programs, off-campus experiences, opportunities for leadership development, and the planning and execution of entertainment events.
Office of Student Life T he Office of Student Life helps students improve
the quality of their lives outside the classroom through services and informal education programs. Areas in which the Office can provide assistance include:
Student Problems. In a ny complex community such as the University, some problems affec t many members of the community. The Office of Student Life often works with students to pinpoint a nd solve such problems.
Information. Coping in any large organization requires mo re informatio n than most individua ls have at any given time. T he Student Life sta ff will answer a student's quc;:stions about the University or will refer the student directly to the office which can answer them.
Change. To prosper, the University must continually change a nd students must be among the prime initia tors of change. Working through the Office,
students have initiated changes in student-faculty relations, security, buildings a nd grounds, programs of informal learning, and in developing new student organizations.
Research. Students' attitudes, opinions, and evaluations collected by the Office are an important source of information for faculty a nd staff. Both on its own and in coopera tion with student organitations, Student Life conducts research on such topics as studenb' cha nging a ttitudes, the effectiveness of various committees, the effects of residence hall life on students, and students' preferences for changes in the academic calendar or board plan options.
Student Course Opiniun Project. A survey is taken at the end of each semester to determine students' perceptions of the quality of instruction provided in participating courses. T his procedure helps faculty to be more knowledgeable about the impact of their work.
Discipline. The Dean of Student Life is responsible for nonacademic discipline. A system of student judicial boards helps to ma inta in o rder within the U niversity community and to insure that individua l r ights are respected .
Appeals. Students may consult the Office to request a third-party review of their problems.
Emergency Loans. Short-term, no-interest loans are available to all full-time River Campus students through the Office.

Sports and Recreation The Sports and Recreation program encourages stu
dent participation in intercollegiate athletics, in int ramural competition, and in a variety of recreational activities.
lntercul/egiate Athletics. The intercollegiate program seeks to a ttract as many participants a~ pllssiblt. SchedJles are designed to be compatible with st ude nts' academic programs. There is interco llegi~te competition for men in baseball, basketball, cros;.cour,try, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, squash, swimming, tennis, and track and field. There is intercollegiate competition for wome n in basketball, field hockey, lacrosse, soccer, swimming, tennis, and volleyball. There are coed opportunities in track, golf, ~nd squash.
lnllamurals. Nearly 60 percent of R ochester's students participate in the University's extensive intramural program, which includes men's, women's, a nd coed com peti tion in tea m and individual sports. Basketball, touch football, soccer, softball, tennis , volleyball, water basketball, and water polo are some of the intramural sports available.
Sports and Recreation. Ma ny recreational a nd instructional activ ities are offered for all studenb, faculty, a nd staff. They include bicycling, bowling, golf, horseback riding, lifesaving, racquetball. ski ing, skin diving, tennis, a nd yoga. In many activities, instruction is provided through clinics, m ini-courses, and individual sessions.
Athletic Facilities In the spring of 1980 the University embarked on a
major expansion and renovation of its athletic facilities. The program is scheduled for completion during the fall of 1981. At that time the University's athletic facilities will include:
Spans and Recrealion Center: A new building housing a swimming pool 25 meters long and 25 yards wide with a well for three-meter and one-meter diving, three regulation basketball courts, four indoor tennis courts, multipurpose areas for volleyball, badminton, fitness work outs, and meetings, and a student lounge.
Alexander Palestra: Home site for University intercollegiate basketball a nd volleyball, with permanent seating capacity of 3,000. Also houses coed training room.
Alumni Gymnasium: Office of Sports and Recreation, Roman L. Speegle Pool, six racquetball courts, five squash racquet courts, and calisthenic and weight rooms.
Field House: 12,000-square-foot indoor playing surface covered by artificial turf with a 225-yard polyurethane-surface running track around the perimeter (and extending through a tunnel under the adjoining Palestra). The area is used for activities of most University intercollegiate athletic teams, many intramural events, and many recreational classes.
Spurrier Gymnasium: Gymnasium, Wilbra ham Swimming Pool, dance studio, and coed training room.
Fauver Stadium: 6,000-seat concrete and brick stadium and lighted, all-weather playing field with 400-meter eight-lane track. Site of intercollegiate football, field hockey, soccer, lacrosse, track and field, and a full range of intramura l and recreational activity. Also ho uses coed training room.
Other Owduor Facilities: 12 lighted tennis courts, baseball and softball fields, soccer pitch, field hockey area, and a large natural-grass intramural field.
Construction and renovation have been planned so there will be only minor dislocations of existing programs (principally affecting tennis) until the project is completed.
Residence Halls The residence halls program is designed to enhance
students' academic progress by providing comfortable
Athletic Facilities 217
living arrangements and opportunities for personal growth. Through contacts with various staff members, residents are encouraged to share interests with their roommates and neighbors and to participate actively in the functioning of their residence hall. For example, there are many opportunities for students to become involved in the development of their living area by participating in a ha ll's student government or serving on one of its committees for social, cultural, and educational programming. In addition, the program complements students' academic growth through its facultyin-residence program and informal student-facultystaff interaction within the halls. About 85 percent of undergraduate students live on campus in residence ha lls.
Freshmen are required to live on campus (unless they live with parents or relatives in the Rochester area) and are housed in double rooms in various residence areas throughout the campus. One of the student's earliest contacts with the residence halls staff is with the Resident Advisor (RA). RA's, who are carefully selected upperclassmen, are assigned to floors or corridors where freshmen reside and provide information and referra l concerning the various student services available on campus. T hey also assist freshmen in making the adjustment to academic and campus routines and in developing friendly relationships with roommates and other students living nearby.
Opportunities for diversified living arrangements expand gradually beyond the freshman year. Although most freshmen and sophomores live in double rooms, s ix-person suites and single rooms become increasingly available to upperclassmen on a limited basis. These spaces are allocated by a lottery system, with seniors drawing first, juniors next, then sophomores. Rooms are selected by students in the spring for occupancy during the following academic year. Usually there are some sophomores who remain unassigned after room selection; these students are placed as vacancies occur during the summer. In certain buildings sophomores, juniors, and seniors may choose not to participate in the University's board plan.
Because a significant portion of a student's time at the University is spent in the residence halls, it is important that students recognize the wide variety of opportunities for personal growth within the residential setting. To this end students are encouraged by staff and by other students to utilize the University's resources in maximizing such growth. The residence halls staff supports student needs and interests with a variety of programs and services such as special-interest living arrangements, the faculty-in-residence pro-

gram, student-staff committees, and special program corridors where students with similar academic or extracurricular program interests may live together.
Residence Areas The Quad. Burton, Crosby, Gilbert, Hoeing, Love
joy, and Tiernan Halls are individual buildings offering single and double rooms. Hoeing and Burton Halls house men only; Lovejoy Hall houses women only. The remaining halls are predominantly coeducational by corridor or floor. Tiernan Hall is available by application to those students who wish to commit themselves to an organized program of community development for that hall. Freshmen and upperclassmen live in all buildings except Crosby, which is reserved for upperclassmen only. Resident Advisors live in all areas where there are freshmen.
Anthony Halls. Susan B. Anthony Halls compnse Gannett, Gates, Hollister, and Morgan Halls. These halls include both single and double rooms. Floors are coeducational and consist primarily of alternating male and female corridors, each staffed with a Resident Advisor. One floor houses males and females in a random arrangement on all four corridors of that floor.
Hill Court (Chambers, Fairchild, Gale, Kendrick, Munro, and Slater Houses) is a group of six smallscale, four-story units for sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Each house contains suites, which include six single rooms, private bath, and common living room. All houses are coeducational and are staffed either by a Graduate Resident Advisor or by faculty-in-residence.
Founders Court (Anderson and Wilder Towers) includes both suites and double rooms. Suites include four single rooms and one double room, with private bath and common living room. Double rooms include adjoining bathrooms. A Graduate Resident Advisor and three RA's staff each of the Towers units. The Towers are coeducational. Freshmen live in the Towers in double rooms and a few suites; other residents of the Towers are upperclassmen.
Helen Wood Hall, across from the University Medical Center, is a coeducational residence with predominantly single rooms. A Graduate Resident Advisor staffs this building, which houses upperclassmen only.
The Quad Annex includes several fraternity and special-interest houses. Students occupying these small living units live primarily in single and double rooms and are members of groups which, for the mcst
part. apply for special-interest living arrangements on an annual basis.
The Gradua1e Uving Center will a lso house undergraduates for the 1980-81 academic year in two- and three-person apartments in de Kiewiet Tower. A Graduate Resident Advisor staffs this building, which house' upperclassmen only.
Auxiliary Services The Office of the Associate Treasurer is responsible
for managing University-provided food services, bookstores, off-campus apartments, parking, security, telephone service, and a number of other supporting services. University policy requires that parking, food, bookstore, and housing services- services which are used selectively and substantially as matters of individual preference- - be sustained by the fees and other charges paid by those who use them, including prc>visions for depreciation, replacement of equipment, and maintenance. Those services, therefore, are not supported from the University's tuition and other educational income.
Student Identification Cards Each year identification cards are provided by the
Universtty for all students. They are required for charging out books from the library. for cashing checks on campus. and for admission to various campus events and activities. The card is embossed with student name. identifying number, and local address. It also shows the student's birth date, signature, and picture. Students at the Medical Center are required to wear identification badges. The regular student identification card serves this purpose; worn as a lapel badge, one side of the card carries the student's na me and photograph. The same cards, with special magnetic endorsements, serve to identify those student> who have purchased board contracts and are entitled to meals at University dining centers. In addition, the cards are useful for security purposes and for positive identification on campus and elsewhere.
Ente-ing freshmen are photographed during the Freshman Orientation Programs. Undergraduates who will be returning the following fall may be photographed annually during the last few weeks of the second semesier. T ransfer students are photographed early in the fall and spring terms. No charge is made for the identification card, but there is a $6 fee for replacement of a card.
220 Student Life
Bookstores The River Campus Bookstore, operated for the U ni
versity by Barnes & Noble Bookstores, Inc., provides goods and services that reduce the need for students to leave the campus. In addition to required textbooks and supplies, it stocks paperback and hardbound titles in a wide range of subjects and a variety of clothing and other merchandise to serve personal needs. In addition to new texts, the Bookstore carries a substantial stock of lower-priced used textbooks.
The Bookstore is located on the ground Ooor of the Frederick Douglass Building and is open weekdays and Saturdays. Branches of the Bookstore are located at the Eastman School of Music and at the Medical Center to serve students who take all or part of their programs there. VISA and Master Charge credit cards, as well as personal checks, are accepted.
University Food Service The University operates its own food service under
the direction of professional food-service administrators. The University dining service plan provides either 14 or 20 meals per week, for which the student contracts at the beginning of the year. Board plan participants may take their meals at either of the River Campus dining centers (Danforth Dining Center or the Frederick Douglass Dining Center) or at Eastman School of Music residence halls. On the River Campus the dining centers serve three meals a day Monday through Saturday, with brunch and supper served on Sunday. At the Eastman School two meals, breakfast and dinner, are served daily. These meals can be purchased for cash or on a prepaid board plan. Board plan contracts are for the fall or spring semester of each academic year and are effective from the first day of classes in the fall to Commencement the following May, excepting periods specifically designated in the University calendar as academic recesses. Meal hours and food service locations are adjusted from time to time as the number of students on campus and special events require. Regular schedules of meal services are published in University newspapers and posted at the dining centers and in residence halls. Notices of any changes in the schedules are distributed in advance at the dining centers and also posted in the residence halls. Upper-class students who live in certain residences may elect not to participate in the University's contractual service, but any student who so chooses is charged a facilities fee each semester to help defray fixed operational costs. The cafeteria-style service provides a variety of main courses at each meal (generally
on an a~-much-as-you-would-like basis), a nutritionally balanced as well as an attractive menu. Other services include snack bars, confection and beverage vending machines, and a catering department. The Wilson Commons snack bar and rathskeller provide food and beverage service late into the evening as well as during the day.
University Security The University has its own Security and Traffic Di
vision for the protection of students, members of the University community, and their property.
The Division, with headquarters on the ground tloor of the University Medical Center, operates 24 hours daily and has radio-equipped patrol cars and officers. A branch office is also located on the River Campus. Matters involving security, traffic, fire, or police should be reported to either office for investigation and action. The emergency telephone number when dialed from ar;y University telephone is the two-digit number 13. From outside the University the Security office number is 275-3333.
Student Employment Office On-campus employment of University of Rochester
students is coordinated by the Student Employment Office, a unit of the University Personnel Department. Students seeking part-time jobs at the University should visit this office, located in Todd 107. Regular office hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays.
University Intercessor The Intercessor's office was established in 1972 to
provide a resource for solving problems that do not seem to belong elsewhere in the University. Students. staff, or faculty members who have concerns about their university experience that cannot be worked out through obvious channels are encouraged to contact the Intercessor's office for assistance. This office is particuiarly interested in identifying patterns of problems that indicate a need to change organizational structures or procedures. Helping individuals is an important way to learn what needs to be done to improve the total program. The Intercessor's office is located in the Frederick Douglass Building and can be reached by phone at extension 5230.
Lost and Found Office A lost and found service is maintained in Wilson
Commons for the River Campus. Articles found are
turned in there for safe keeping until they can be identified and claimed by their owners. Articles found elsewhere on University premises are turned in to the Security headquarters at the Medical Center.
Intercampus and Public Transportation The University provides free, scheduled shuttle bus
service from the River Campus to the University Park area, Whipple Park, the Medical Center, Goler House, and designated parking lots. Service is also provided between the River Campus and the Eastman School of Music, \1emorial Art Gallery, Eastman School residences, and other designated points.
Regional Transit Service provides regular, scheduled service between downtown Rochester and U niversity facilities. RTS bus No. 5 (South Avenue) runs between downtown and Strong Memorial Hospital. The Eastman School of Music residence halls and the Memorial Art Gallery on the Prince Street Campus are served by RTS bus No. 4 (University Avenue). RTS bus No. 19 (South Plymouth) operates between Main Street and Clinton Avenue at the city center to both the River Campus (where the principal stop is at Rush Rhees Library) and the University Medical Center.
Automobiles and Parking Students may bring cars to the University at any
time. Free parking is allowed on both sides of the street in many sections of Wilson Boulevard, the main road adjacent to the River Campus. On-campus parking for students, faculty, and staff is by permit, and several options a re available. Students may purchase a special permit for $84 per year (in 1980-81 ), which entitles them to park in particular areas near residence halls. For $25 per year (in 1980-81), students may purchase a permit to park in a University lot which is a IS-minute walk from the River Campus. This lot is served regularly by a free shuttle bus to and from the campus; students holding permits for this off-campus lot also may park on campus after 8 p.m. on weekdays and a t any time on weekends. Applications for parking permits, along with further information, may be obtained from the Parking Office, Gates Wing, Susan B. Anthony Halls.
Because of the expectation that financial aid recipients must watch their spending patterns closely, it is usually difficult to justify ownership of an automobile. Students receiving financial aid are expected to notify the Office of Admissions and Student Aid if a car is obtained and to provide an adequate explanation of the necessity for its use.
Auxiliary Services 221
Bicycles and Motorcycles In all but the snowiest of seasons, bikes are a con
venient and popular means of getting between University buildings and to nearby shopping areas. Bicycles may not be brought into academic buildings, offices, or residence halls or into Medical Center buildings, nor may they be chained to trees, lamp standards, balastrades, or the like on campus. ln a number of residence halls, particular rooms are designated for bicycle storage. Bicycle racks are available at most locations on the River Campus, as well as at the Medical Center and the Eastman School of Music.
Motorcycles, mopeds, and other motorized vehicles may not be operated on walkways and are otherwise subject to the same regulations as automobiles.
Telephone Service All residence hall suites and rooms have telephones.
The cost of the basic service is included in the room fees. This provides dial access without extra cost within the University of Rochester telephone system, including security services and emergency medical facilities, and to Rochester and suburban areas. Calls to students may be dia led directly to the individual's room or suite telephone.
For toll calls, Rochester Telephone Corporation provides each resident student with a special toll-billing number. The student is responsible for all charges generated against that account, for which the Rochester Telephone Corporation will bill the student directly each month.
University Apartments Furnished and unfurnished apartments are available
for married undergraduates in the University's Graduate Living Center, University Park, and Whipple Park, all of which are served by University shuttle buses. Some single upperclass students will be housed in the Graduate Living Center in 1980- 81 as a part of the River Campus residence halls program, at standard academic-year room contract rates, but other tenants in those facilities are expected to undertake a full-year lease commitment, including the summer and other recess periods. The same is true of Goler House, a 13-story apartment building, which can accommodate single students sharing apartments, as well as married students.
Brochures describing the apartment facilities and giving current rents can be obtained from the University Apartments Office, George Washington Goler
