INSTITUTIONAL HISTORY Pacific Lutheran University was founded in 1890. The institution opened as an academy

and became a junior college in 1921. Ten years later, it was organized into a three-year normal school which became a college of education in 1939. In 1941, it assumed the necessary role of a college of liberal arts. It was known as Pacific Lutheran College until 1960 when it became Pacific Lutheran University.

FACULTY There are approximately 225 full-time and nearly 100 part-time PLU faculty members. The

academic credentials of the faculty are listed in the University Catalog. The data reveal that they possess degrees from distinguished universities around the world.

THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM Requirements for degrees are specifically stated in this catalog in the section on Master's

Degrees Offered. The prospective student should become familiar with these requirements and prepare to meet them. It is each student's responsibility to know his or her degree re­quirements and deadlines.

The University's academic structure is comprised of the following major instructional units: the College of Arts and Sciences, with Divisions of Humanities, Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and Social Sciences; School of The Arts; School of Business Administration; School of Education; School of Nursing; School of Physical Education; and Division of Graduate Studies. T�e academic structure is shown below,

College of Arts and Sciences Division of Humanities

School of Business Administration School of Education School of The Arts

Art Communication Arts Music

School of Nursing School of Physical Education Division of Graduate Studies

Business Administration Computer Science Education Music Public Administration Socia" Sciences

ACCREDITATIONS/INSTITUTIONAL MEMBERSHIP Pacific Lutheran University is fully accredited by the Northwest Association of Schools and

Colleges. It holds professional accreditation as follows:

National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education American Chemical Society National League for Nursing American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business Council on Social Work Education National Assuciation of Schools of Music

The University holds membership in the following organiLations:

American Association of Higher Education American Council on Education Association of American Colleges Independent Colleges of Washington, Incorporated Lutheran Educational Conference of North America North American Association of Summer Schools Washington Friends of Higher Education Washington State Arts Alliance Western Association of Graduate Schools Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education

ENROllMENT Full-time University enrollment each semester is about 3,800. Graduate enrollment usually

consists of SOO part-time and 50 to 60 full-time graduate students. The graduate student popula­tion represents a cross-section of society. While the majority of the students come from the state of Washington, over 40 states and several foreign countries are represented. Because most graduate programs may be completed on an evening, part-time basis, the majority of the graduate student body is comprised of adults with daytime commitments .

THE CAMPUS Pacific Lutheran University is located in Parkland, a suburb of Tacoma, 40 minutes from

downtown Seattle. The campus features 48 buildings on 135 beautifully iandsc.lped acres, and is minutes a" .... ay from Puget Sound. The most conspicuous natural monument in the area is the towering Mt. Rainier on the east. with the rugged Olympics on the west.

ACADEMIC YEAR Pacific Lutheran University offers a 4-1-4 calendar which consists of two fourteen-week

semesters bridged by a four-week interim period. (Off-campus courses in the social sciences are offered during eight-week in tensive terms.)

SUMMER SCHOOL Pacific Lutheran University schedules two four-week summer terms preceded and separated

by one-week intensive sessions, with the exception of MBA courses, which are scheduled for two six-week sessions. The summer school typically is a time when experimental courses are readily available and degree requirements can be fulfilled through short-term day or evening courses. Graduate stuJents may enroll for a maximum of six semester hours per term.

CAMPUS SERVICES Activities

All graduate students are welcome and invited to participate in the activities and services of the University. The PLU Student Handbook enumerates over 50 academic and non-academic organiza tions, clubs, societies and interest groups, which testify to the diversity of campus extra-curricular life. Social action, religious and political organizations; interest and sporting clubs; and service, professional and academic societies are among the options from which to choose.

Aesthetic appreciation is available both to participant and audience by way of music and the visual and performing arts. The Choir of the West, Choral Union, University Chorale, Concert Band, the University Symphony Orchestra, a renowned collegiate stage, two art galleries, faculty and student recitals, the Regency Concert Series, and the Artist Series pro­vide generous opportunities for the performing students.

Organized and individual physical activities are available for everyone. Recreational and competitive programs include football, cross country, basketball, swimming, hiking, climb­ing, volleyball, tennis, golf, wrestling, paddlebalL bowling, softball, badminton, field hockey, track and field, water polo, skiing, end rowing.

Office for Student life The concept of an integrated living-learning environment is considered important. and ties

together the many facilities from classroom to library to coffee shops to residence halls. This concept is useful to the off-campus student as well as on, by providing an atmosphere of community that enhances the learning experience.

The development of each student, the interaction with persons of differing lifestyles, the application of classroom knowledge to each living situation and the environment in which this type of learning takes place are elements in the PLU liberal education. In a time when there is considerable clamor for meaningful communities, the campus facilitates genuine reJa­tionships among members of the University, regardless of religious, racial or cultural background.

The University recognizes its obligation to provide services and facilities which comple­ment the academic environment for all students. The Office for Student Life coordinates ac­tivities and program by using student involvement and leadership. Members of the office are responsible for staffing and assisting with programs in the residence halls, orienting new students, assisting foreign students, advising student government, advising minority students, and coordinating student activities. Health care and personal counseling are available to all, as well as assistance with career planning and student employment. Whatever the area of interest or concern, the Student Life staff is ready to offer individual attention.

Since most adult students have day-time career or family commitments, the Adult Student branch of the Office of Student Life maintains office hours Mondays and Thursdays until 8:00 p.m., where students 25 years and older are given practical assistance, kept abreast of campus activities and developments in the university community, and provided free coffee. Wednesdays from noon to 2:00 p.m. there is a drop-in discussion group in the Universit y center where adult students may discuss needs specific t o their situation and begin t o imple­ment change. Students interested in the services of Counseling & Testing, Minority or Inter­national Student Affairs, Residential Life, or matters specific to the older student are encourag­ed to contact the Student Life Office, (206) 535-7194.

Campus Ministry Chapel worship is held Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings during the semester

in Trinity Lutheran Church (10:00 a.m.) for all who wish to participate. The University Con­gregation meets in regular worship and also celebrates the Lord's Supper each Sunday. Pastoral counsel by the University Pastors is available.

Library The Robert A.L. Mortvedt Library is the central multi-media learning resource center serv­

ing th€ entire university community. Its collections are housed and services provided in a modern functional building which has study spaces for more than 700 students and shelving for more than one-quarter million books, periodicals, microfilm, and audio-visual materials. The library receives over 1,300 current magazines, journals, and newspapers.

The library is open for service 110 hours during a typical week in a regular term. A staff of twenty-seven full- and part-time librarians and assistants offers expert reference, informa­tion, and media services. The reference staff also provides beginning and advanced library instruction for all students. In addition to standard reference service, the library staff offers a computerized bibliographic information service. As the result of the library's extensive col­lection of bibliographic tools, computer access to other collections, and electronic mail serv­ice, students and faculty have rapid access to materials which can be borrowed from other libraries.

All registered students have the privilege of a library card. Admitt,'d graduate students who are not currently enrolled may obtain a free temporary library card and thus have com­plete access to the library for one semester. If not enrolled for more than one semester, library use is possible, but only upon payment of a standard library fee of $10 per semester.

Computer Services & Computer Center The VAX-111780 and the VAX-11i750 computers housed in the basement of Mortvedt

Library are the information processing center for faculty, students. and administration. The computer system represents current, state-of-the-art hardware and is complemented by a strong array of software options, including four languages (Pascal, BASIC, FORTRAN, and COBOL); a number of software packages including SPSS-x, SCSS, Minitab, and CCALC; a data base management system; and two text editors. An academic terminal room is available for use 24 hours a day during fall and spring semesters.

The School of Business also operates a microcomputer center in the University's East Campus building. Membership in the center's club gives individuals access to the latest technology .

. Information about the center can be obtained by calling (206) 535-8712. Information about addit,ional equipment and facilities available in the Mathematics and

Computer Science Department is located in the Master of Science in Computer Science sec­tion of the Graduate Catalog.

University Center The University Center provides food service facilities, lounges, game rooms, meeting rooms,

bookstore, bowling a!Jeys, private dining rooms, Chris Knutzen Fellowship Hall, student government offices, coffee shop, and a student operated coffee house (The Cave). Additional student services in the 'University Center include Co-Op Education, Career Planning and Place­ment, Campus Ministry, the Information Desk (where candy, magazines and tobacco may be purchased), and the University Center Office.

Division of Graduate Studies

OBJECTIVES The Division of Graduate Studies is an all-University division coordinating and integrating

the work of the schools and departments which provide graduate level work. Its general ob­jective is to further the basic objectives of the University by providing graduate level academic and professional work. Specific objectives are: (1) to increase the breadth and depth of understanding of graduate students in the liberal arts; (2) to increase students'- knowledge of research being done in their field of concentration; (3) to increase students' ability to read the professional journals in interest areas; (4) to develop students' abilities to do independent study and research; and (5) to prepare students, through the upper division and graduate division, and through the University's professional schools, to enter into a vocation directly, or to enter other graduate schools for further advanced study leading to the doctoral degree.

ADMISSIONS Students holding bachelor's degrees from accredited colleges or universities who attained

undergraduate scholastic honor-point ratios of 3.0 may be admitted and granted regular status in the Division of Graduate Studies. Students already holding graduate degrees or students who have done satisfactory graduate work at other institutions may be admitted on regular status. Those students with an average of less than 3.0 will not be considered for regular status until they have demonstrated their ability to do graduate work by a minimum of twelve semester hours of work with a grade point average of 3.0. These students may be granted provisional status.

The bases for evaluating applicants are their scholastic qualifications, letters of recommen­dation, preparation for their proposed major field of study, and in some cases, a required personal interview with the program coordinator or director. A scholastic average equivalent of "8" or better in an acceptable undergraduate program is required for regular status. The Dean of Graduate Studies or the prospective major division or school may deny admission if applicants' scholastic records are undistinguished, if preparation is judged inadequate as a foundation for graduate work, or if the facilities are already filled to capacity.

AppIicants for the Master of Business Administration degree are required to take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). Applicants for the Master of Arts in Educa­tion degree, excluding the Counseling and Guidance and Educational Psychology programs, are required to take the Miller Analogies Test (MAT); applicants to the Counseling and Guidance and Educational Psychology programs are required to take the California Psychological Inventory (CPl). Other test scores must be submitted only if they are specifically requested by the Dean of Graduate Studies. Applicants for the Master of Music degrees are required to submit evidence of accomplishment in their area of specialization, i.t'., a port­folio of compositions, music education essay, performdnce audition, or conducting materials (vitae, programs, recordings>. As well as any appropriate test listed above, international students must provide the Graduate Office with official scores from either the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or both sections of the Michigan Test.

Further supporting evidence in the form of personal recommendations will be required from those persons named by the applicant on the application form.

Students applying for admission to graduate study must submit completed application forms (available from the Graduate Office) and request from all previously attended higher institu­tions an official transcript to be sent to the PLU Graduate Office.

In order to insure consideration for entrance in a given term, applications should be made by July 1 for the Fall Semester, November 15 for the Spring Semester, and April 15 for the Summer Session, with the exception of Music, where March 15 is the deadline for all ap­plications. A $25.00 nonrefundable application fee must accompany the application. This is a processing fee and is not applied to the student's account. Checks or money orders should be made payable to Pacific Lutheran University and sent to the Dean of Graduate Studies.

Approval of admission to the Division of Graduate Studies does not imply admission to candidacy for the degree. Final admission approval is determined by the Dean of Graduate Studies in consultation with the appropriate Graduate Committee.

In summary, the following items must be on file before an applicant will be considered for admission.

1. The completed application form. 2. The $25.00 nonrefundable application fee. 3. An official copy of each transcript from each college attended. AJI transcripts must be

sent directly to the PLU Graduate Office from the institution providing the transcript. 4. Two letters of recommendation. s. When speCifically requested:

- GMAT score (Master of Business Administration only) - MAT score (Master of Arts in Education: Educational Administration, Classroom

Teaching, Reading, and Special Education only). - CPI (Master of Arts in Education: Counseling &: Guidance and Educational Psychology

only). - TOEFL or Michigan Test scores (international students only) - Evidence of musical accomplishment (Master of Music only) - Personal interview with program coordinator (Master of Arts in Education: Counsding

Before admission to the graduate program, it is advisable for an applicant to seek an inter­view with a professor in the appropriate subject area, In certain programs, a personal inter­view is a requirement of the application process. See specific program requirements for details.

Classification of Students A student may be admitted to a graduate program as a regular status, provisional status,

or non-degree status student . Acceptance also may be conditional. Regular - Those students approved unreservedly for admission to graduate study by their

respective Graduate Committees are granted regular status. Provisio'IaI - In some programs, all newly admitted students are assigned provisional status

until certain program prerequisites have been met. Students who fail to qualify for regular status because of a minimally acceptable grade point average or a lack of academic background in their undergraduate work may be granted provisional status.

Non-degree - Students holding the bachelor's degree who wish to pursue course work with no intention of qualifying for an advanced degree, and those who are transient registrants, are classified as non-degree graduate students.

Conditional - Students who have applied for graduate school before completing their undergraduate work or who have other major deficiencies may be granted condi­tional acceptance. That is, acceptance may be conditional upon successful comple­tion of the bachelor's degree or upon completion of specific prerequisites. Although the student is accepted into the graduate program, work cannot begin until the con­ditions of acceptance have been met. The exception to this rule would be one in which a senior undergraduate student is offered acceptance conditional upon successful graduation but was allowed to take graduate classes before graduation. Conditional acceptances will not be granted to international students lacking adequate English language skills.

Change of Status from Provisional to Regular Student status may be changed from provisional to regular after the following provisions

have been met : satisfactory fulfillment of course deficiencies; satisfactory completion of 12 semester hours of graduate work with a grade point average of 3.0 or better; or satisfactory completion of departmental or school requirements.

Student status may be changed from from non-degree to regular/provisional after the non­degree student completes the normal application process and is accepted into a regular degree program. Credit earned during non-degree classification may count toward a graduate degree, but only as recommended by the faculty advisory committee and approved by the Graduate Dean after the student has been admitted to a degree program. No such credit can be used that carries a grade lower than a "B - . "

Student status may be changed from conditional to regular/provisional after the condi­tions of acceptance have been met and evidence (transcripts, official test scores, etc.) is in the student's file.

In all cases, a letter indicating change of status will be forwarded to the student, with a copy to the adviser.

International Students Students from abroad are subject to all the requirements for admission established by the

Division of Graduate Studies. To allow ample time for visa and other departure procedures, the applicant should have

his or her application and all supporting documents on file with the University no less than four months prior to the proposed entry date. The following documents are necessary BEFORE an application can be processed:

1. Formal application for admission with $25.00 nonrefundable application fee. 2. Complete official transcripts for all colleges attended. 3. Two letters of recommendation from school oHidals or persons of recognized standing.

If transferring from an American college or university, the Foreign Student Adviser should send a recommendation.

4 . Demonstrated proficiency in the English language through attaining a minimum score of 525 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or a minimum of 85 on the written and 85 on the oral sections of the Michigan Test. Conditional acceptances will not be granted for international students lacking adequate English language skills.

5. Declaration and Certification of Finances. 6 . Official scores from specific tests as required for certain programs or concentrations.

See individual master's programs for particulars. After all documents are received and the student's application has been processed, the stu­

dent will receive a written confirmation from this office. An 1-20 can be issued only after all documents have been received, the application has been reviewed, and the student has been offered admission to a graduate program.

Before enrolling for classes, all international students are required to have health and medical insurance, which is obtained through the University after arrival on campus.

Inter·national graduate students must also report to the International Student Office, (206)

535-7194, upon registration for purposes of Immigration and University record-keeping. This must be done at the time of registration in the Hauge Administration Building, room 113.

Intensive English Language Institute The Intensive English Language Institute, housed on the campus oJ Pacific Lutheran Univer­

sity, is designed to prepare students from abroad for university-level study in the United States. Since l . E . L . l . is authorized to issue 1-20s through Pacific Lutheran University, students need not be admitted to a U . S . university while studying in this program .

Prospective l . E . L . l . students usually have had some formal English training, b u t lack the proficiency required for college level work. All of the skill areas (speaking, listening, reading and writing) are covered in the program; special emphasis is placed on developing the abilities necessary for academic work, including listening skills needed for comprehending lectures, note taking, organization of thoughts into clear written form, use of the library, and term paper preparation. The program is designed, administered, and taught by a faculty trained in linguistics and language teaching methodology . I . E.L . l . staff is also prepared to attend to the students' special needs as they adjust to a new culture.

For advanced students who will be entering the University in the fall, the special seven­week Summer Session provides an excellent opportunity to receive intensive college preparatory training. This course consists of advanced training in English usage and is designed to orient students culturally while preparing them to study within the U.S . educational system.

For further information, please call (206) 535-7325 or (206) 535-7326, or write to l . E. L . l . , Pacific Lutheran University, Box 69, Tacoma, Washington 98444.

Adviser, Advisory Committees, Approval of Program The statement which follows describes the usual procedures which govern the appoint­

ment of advisers and advisory committees and the approval of student program . When dif­ferent procedures are followed, the specifics are included in the catalog section which describes particular degree program requirements.

Upon admission to graduate study, an adviser shall be appointed for each graduate stu­dent . The adviser, in consultation with the advisee, shall determine a program of study and give final approval to the advisee's initial registration. (If the student registers for only four semester hours in initial registration, the adviser shall give final approval to the second registra­tion as wel l . ) During the semester in which the student is taking the second course in the master's program, the student, in consultation with his/her adviser, shall initiate a request through the Graduate Office for two additional faculty members to serve on the advisory committee, normally consisting of the adviser as chairperson a.nd two faculty members who will proceed to meet with the student as soon as is possible to give final approval to the stu­dent's entire program of studies. The committee normally shall have a faculty representative from the academic supporting area.

Three copies of the approved program should be signed by the members of the advisory committee. The student should keep one copy for future use, give one copy to the adviser, and transmit one copy to the Graduate Studies Office.

Hours Required for the Master's Degree A minimum of 32 semester hours is required. Individual programs may require more than

the minimum number of semester hours, depending upon prior preparation and specific degree requirements. Any prerequisite courses taken during the graduate program may not count toward fulfilling minimum degree requirements.

Transfer of Credit Eight semester hours of graduate work may be taken at another institution and transfer­

red, provided that approval has been given by the student's adviser and/or advisory committee.

In degree programs requiring work beyond 32 semester hours, more than eight semester hours may be transferred, but in any case, the student must complete at least 24 semester hours of the degree program at Pacific Lutheran University.

Courses Taken on a Pass-Fail Basis If approved by the adviser, a graduate student's program may include a course offered

for pass-fail credit only. In courses where students may elect a letter grade or the pass-fail option, graduate students must opt for the letter grade.

Courses Acceptable for Graduate Credit The courses of study are listed in the General Catalog. Selected courses numbered 300,

400 and 500, unless otherwise designated, may be accepted for graduate credit . All courses accepted for the master's degree are, however, subject to the approval of the student's ad­viser and/or advisory committee.

Graduate Credit for Seniors If, during the last semester of the senior year, a candidate for a baccalaureate degree finds

it possible to complete all degree requirements with a registration of fewer than 16 semester hours of undergraduate credit, registration for graduate credit is permissible. However, the total registration for undergraduate requirements and elective graduate credit shall not ex­ceed 16 semester hours during the semester. A form provided by the Graduate Studies Of­fice, stating that all baccalaureate requirements are being met during the current semester, must be signed by the appropriate department chairman or school dean and presented to the Dean of Graduate Studies at the time of such registration. This registration does not apply toward a higher degree unless it is later approved by the student's adviser and/or advisory committee.

Standards of Work The minimum standard acceptable for the master's degree is a grade point average of 3 . 0

in the major field and an overall average of 3 . 0 in all graduate work. Graduate level credit cannot be given for any class in which the grade earned is lower than a "C - ."

A student whose grade point average falls below 3 . 0 is subject to being dropped from the program. In such instances, the recommenda tion for drop or continuance is made by the student's advisory committee.

Academic Probation A student pursuing the master's degree who fails to maintain a cumulative grade point

average of 3.0 in courses applicable to the degree, may be placed on academic proba tion. When such action is taken, the student will be notified by letter from the Graduate Studies Office. A graduate student on probation who fails to attain a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 in the next term of enrollment may be dropped from the program.

Research Requirements As an important part of the master's program, the student is required to provide written

evidence of ability to do independent research . The manner of fulfilling this requirement will be determined by each student's adviser and/or advisory committee in consultation with the student. Details regarding this requirement are provided in a subsequent section of this catalog which describes each master's degree program.

If a thesis is written, the original copy must be submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies, with an abstract of 150 words or less. The original copy will be microfilmed by University Microfilms and then bound for the permanent collection of the Pacific Lutheran University library.

If the research requirement is fulfilled by writing papers other than a thesis, one copy of each approved paper must be submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies, with an abstract of 150 words or less.

All work which is submitted as having fulfilled the research requirement must be in the Office of Graduate Studies no later than two weeks prior to the commencement at which the student is to receive the degree.

All research papers and theses presented to the Graduate Office must be clean and error­free. Details regarding format and style of the thesis or research papers may be obtained in the Graduate Studies Office.

a thesis must submit their original thesis copy for microfilming by University Microfilms of Ann Arbor, Michigan. In addition, an abstract of 150 words or less must be submitted for publication in Masters Abstracts. The fee for microfilming, publishing the abstract. and bind­ing the original thesis for the permanent PLU l ibrary collection is to be paid by the student. The fee (subject to change) for 1984-85 is $35.00. Examinations

Written comprehensive examinations and/or oral examinations are required in all graduate programs except the Master of Business Administration. Procedures for these examinations vary for the djfferent programs. Detailed information about comprehensive examinations is found in the descriptions for each of the graduate programs. These examinations over the student's program of studies are under the direction of the major adviser and/or the stu­dent's advisory committee and normally will be scheduled no Idter than the last Saturday of March, June or October. In any case, the final written comprehensive examination must be passed not later than four weeks prior to commencement , The oral examination over the thesis or research is under the direction of the student's advisory committee and must be completed successfully not later than three weeks prior to commencement. See individual program sections of this catalog for specifics.

Time Limit All requirements for the master's degree must be completed within seven years. The seven­

year period' covers all work submitted for the completion of the master's degree regardless of whether the work was taken as a provisional status student or a regular status student, as well as credit transferred from another institution, comprehensive examination, research, and final oral examination.

Residence Requirement All candidates for the master's degree must complete a minimum of 24 semester hours at

Pacific Lutheran University. This requirement may be fulfilled by either one full academic year in attendance, three full summers, or the completion of equivalent study as a part-time student,

Master tf Arts in Social Sciences &

Master tfPublic Administration

POLICIES AND STANDARDS Purpose

The Division of Social Sciences, which includes the disciplines of economics, history, political science, psychology, social work, sociology and anthropology, offers two degree programs: the Master of Public Administration and the Master of Arts in Social Sciences with concentrations in Organizational Systems, Psychological Counseling, Marriage and Fami­ly Therapy, and Individualized Study.

The four concentrations in the M.A. in Social Sciences emphasize multidisciplinary ap­proaches to learning and direct applications to public and professional life. Three core courses-a COUfse in social science theory, a course in social science research methods, and a social science research project or thesis-provide concepts and skills that may be applied in a variety of public and private sector settings. The Master of Public Administration pro­vides a strong multidisciplinary background in theory and research methods appropriate to understanding and working effectively in the public sector.

To meet the needs of those with daytime commitments, required courses for the M.A. in Social Sciences and the M . P.A. are scheduled during the evening. Applications for admission into the program will be evaluated according to the following criteria: undergraduate academic performance during the last two years of the student's baccalaureate program, work experience pertinent to the student's competencies for the specialized program the student seeks to pur­sue, and two letters of recommendation that are pertinent to the student's area of interest and academic abilities. A personal interview may be requested by any of the Faculty Coor­dinators in making an admission decision, but a persona] interview is required of all applicants to the Psychological Counseling, Marriage and Family Therapy, and Individualized Study concentrations. In addition to the interview for the Marriage and Family Therapy concen­tration, applicants are required to submit a statement of background and purpose, which covers the applicant's employment history, education. strengths and weaknesses relative to the Marriage and Family Therapy field, and expectations of the degree program.

Applicants to the M . P.A. are required to submit a substantive essay with their application materials. See Master of Public Administration Prerequisites for details.

Students make application to the graduate program through the Dean of Graduate Studies and the Director of Graduate Programs, Division of Social Sciences. The recommendation regarding admission rests with the Faculty Coordinator supervising the specific program in which the applicant wishes to pursue graduate study. The recommendation of the coordinator will be reviewed by the Director of Graduate Program, Division of Social Sciences, and the Dean of Graduate Studies.

Advising Upon admission to graduate study, each student is assigned an adviser. The student plans

a I5raduate program in consultation with the adviser . Before beginning the research project or thesis, a student shall request the faculty coordinator of the concentration in which he or she is enrolled to appoint an advisory committee of three faculty members, one of whom is the student's regular adviser. The student consults with the advisory committee during research and submits the results of research to the committee, which will evaluate the stu­dent"s work.

The Graduate Management Admission Test The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is a test of aptitude rather than a

test of business knowledge per se. The test is offered four times per year and may be taken at PLU. Candidates are examined in two major areas, verbal and quantitative, and a score is earned in each area. In addition, candidates receive a total score which ranges between 200 and 800. The actual required score for an individual depends on the cumulative GPA (see admission criteria) ,

Information and advice regarding the GMAT may be obtained from the Director of the M.B.A. Program in the School of Business Administration, or the Counseling and Test.ing Center, (206) 535-7206.

Advising At the time of admission, all students are assigned an adviser who is the Director of the

M.B .A. Program . Enclosed with the candidate's letter of acceptance to the M . B . A . program is a copy of the progress chart which will be maintained in the School of Business Administra­tion. Initially, the progress chart contains information on courses transferred for core course requirements and graduate courses taken at other institutions, when applicable. The Direc­tor of the M.B .A. Program should be contacted concerning cou,rse transfers and assistance in planning the student's remaining course work.

M.B.A. DEGREE REQUIREMENTS: 54 Semester Hours Individuals holding a recent bachelor's degree in Business Administration or the equivalent

Master of Science in Cmnputer Science

Master of Arts in Cmnputer Science

Applicatiuns PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

The Department of Mathematics & Computer Science at PLU offers two graduate pro­grams in Computer Science, the M.S. in Computer Science and the M.A. in Computer Science Applications. The M.S. in Computer Science is designed for students whose main interest is Computer Science or Computer Engineering. The M.A. in Computer Science Applications is of special interest to students with a background in another field, in areas such as the Natural Sciences, Business, or the Social Sciences. The degree program will allow these students to study advanced applications of computers in their chosen field.

Master's candidates may participate in a variety of ongoing research programs with their faculty advisers. Among the areas of research are: artificial intelligence systems, VSLl design, computer-aided design systems, advanced computer architectures, pattern recognition, com­puter graphics, and software engineering.

Unlike most of the other graduate departments at PLU, the Mathematics and Computer Science Department offers its graduate and upper-level courses only during the day-time hours, and students should plan accordingly.

3 3

34

F ACILITIES The department has its own computing facilities, including a 16-user PDP 11124 with UNIX;

an Alpha Micro System; several APPLEs and LSI-ll microcomputers; and a Computer Graphics lab with a Tektronix 4054 Graphics Computer and several DEC GIGls. In addi­tion, students have access to the University's VAX 111780 and 111750 with VMS, the Business School's NEC system, and the resources of the Microcomputer Club.

PREREQUISITES Beyond the general admission requirements, the prospective computer science master's stu­

dent must have adequate preparation in computer science. Although most graduate students in computer science have earned their baccalaureate degree in computer science, mathematics, or electrical' engineering, students from other academic areas often are able to pursue graduate study in computer science with some additional preparation.

The mini.mum preparation consists of 8 semester hours of calculus and the equivalent of the PLU computer science core (CS 144, 270, 280 & 380), which includes courses in PASCAL, digital logic, computer architecture, and data structures. Students with a deficiency may be admitted on a provisional basis and allowed to take the necessary courses at PLU.

M.S. Core Courses & Research Requirements: 32 or 34 Semester Hours There are two options available. The nonthesis option requires 34 semester hours of course
