The Mission Statement ofThe University of Scranton

Historical PrologueA comprehensive, co-educational institu-

tion, The University of Scranton is, by tradi-tion, choice and heartfelt commitment, aCatholic and Jesuit university. Founded in1888 as Saint Thomas College by the MostReverend William G. O’Hara, D.D., the firstbishop of Scranton, it achieved university sta-tus in 1938, and was entrusted to the care ofthe Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) in 1942.

The Mission of the UniversityThe University of Scranton is a community

of scholars whose ministry of education isinformed by the vision of life contained inboth the Gospel, and the Spiritual Exercises ofSaint Ignatius Loyola. The University is there-fore dedicated to freedom of inquiry, the pur-suit of wisdom, integrity and truth, and thepersonal growth and development of all whoshare in its life and ministry.

The Character of the UniversityAs a Catholic university, The University of

Scranton sees in the teaching and example ofJesus Christ the primary source for the valuesand attitudes that imbue the culture of itscampus. Thus, it seeks to communicate thefullness of the Catholic intellectual traditionto its students in a systematic way. Moreover,in the ecumenical spirit that it has manifestedsince its founding, the University invites fac-ulty, staff and students from other religioustraditions to share in its mission.

As a Jesuit university, The University ofScranton provides its students with a nurtur-ing environment in which a value-laden cur-riculum challenges them to develop:

• a commitment to the value system con-tained in the Gospels,

• a principled respect for the dignity of thehuman person,

• a devotion to justice,• a dedication to the service of the poor,• a love of truth and a restless passion for

learning.Convinced that the search for truth neces-

sarily involves the search for God, the Univer-sity also provides its students with opportuni-ties for worship and spiritual development,

and for the academic study of theology, reli-gion and religious experience.

As a university dedicated to education inthe liberal arts, The University of Scrantonrequires that all of its students complete a rig-orous curriculum designed to foster the devel-opment of their analytical and critical abili-ties. Thus, the core curriculum of theUniversity seeks to impart to students aknowledge of scientific principles, methodsand skills, an appreciation of literary andartistic expression, an awareness of historicalperspectives, and an understanding of reli-gious, philosophical and moral values.

As an urban American university, TheUniversity of Scranton is dedicated to educat-ing “men and women for others,” from awide variety of backgrounds, whose lives andtalents will enrich the life of the human fam-ily. The University is committed to enrolling aculturally and racially diverse student bodyfrom all areas of the country and the world.In fulfillment of its mission, the Universityfurther seeks to attract faculty members fromrichly diverse backgrounds who share its com-mitments to excellence in teaching andresearch, to cura personalis (a loving concernfor students), and to the incarnational visionof human life that informs its ministry.

As a comprehensive university, The Univer-sity of Scranton offers certificate and degreeprograms on both the undergraduate (associ-ate and baccalaureate) and graduate (master’s)levels to traditional and non-traditional stu-dents. Moreover, in order to prepare them forcareers in a variety of fields, the Universityoffers its students a wide range of professionaland pre-professional programs of study.

As the oldest and largest university inNortheastern Pennsylvania, The University ofScranton is firmly committed to serving thepeople of the region. This commitment ismanifested in a special way through the Uni-versity’s dedication to the education of futureleaders for the area’s professional, political,religious, cultural and business communities.

Throughout its history, the University hasbeen distinguished by its commitments to lib-eral arts education, excellence in teaching andthe quality of care that it lavishes on its stu-dents. As it moves into the new millennium,the University reaffirms its commitment tothese qualities and invites venturesome schol-ars and students to join in its mission in theservice of wisdom, integrity and truth.

A Community of Scholars/Jesuit Excellence/Real World Ready 7

History of the UniversityThe University of Scranton was founded as

Saint Thomas College by Bishop William G.O’Hara, the first Bishop of Scranton, whohad always hoped to provide an opportunityfor higher education in the Lackawanna Val-ley. In August of 1888, with few resources athand, he blessed a single block of granite as acornerstone for his new college, which wouldadmit its first students four years later. (Thecornerstone of Old Main is preserved in thewall of St. Thomas Hall located at the cornerof Linden Street and Monroe Avenue.)

The college was staffed by diocesan priestsand seminarians until 1896 and then, for oneyear, by the Xaverian Brothers. From 1897until 1942 the school, which was renamedThe University of Scranton in 1938, wasadministered for the Diocese by the ChristianBrothers. In the late summer of 1942, at theinvitation of Bishop William Hafey, 18Jesuits, led by Rev. Coleman Nevils, S.J., thenewly appointed president, arrived on campusto administer the University.

The Jesuits restructured and strengthenedScranton’s traditional and pre-professionalprograms with an emphasis on the liberal arts,which are the foundation for every programat a Jesuit university. This emphasis isintended to give students an appreciation forall disciplines as they develop specific subjectknowledge.

The University has flourished under theJesuits, growing from a primarily commuterschool with fewer than 1,000 students to abroadly regional, comprehensive universitywith a total enrollment of about 4,700 stu-dents in undergraduate, graduate, and non-traditional programs.

As it enters the 21st century, the Universityis building on its historical and educationalheritage, guided by a 2000-2005 StrategicPlan entitled A Community of Scholars – ACulture of Excellence and a 20-year FacilitiesMaster Plan also adopted in 2000.

The University remains committed toenriching the quality and variety of its aca-demic offerings with recent additions in suchfields as Electronic Commerce, HumanResources and Enterprise Management Tech-nology. In addition, it continues to invest inits physical plant constructing 25 new build-ings and renovating 24 others since 1984.New construction since 1998 has included

McGurrin Hall, a four-story home for thePanuska College of Professional Studies; Mul-berry Plaza and Madison Square townhouses;and Brennan Hall, a 71,000 sq. ft. buildingthat provides technologically advanced class-room and office space for the Kania School ofManagement. (The fifth floor of Brennan Hallis home to the Executive Center, an educa-tional resource for Northeastern Pennsylvania.)

The University SealThe principal colors of the shield are the

traditional colors of the University, white androyal purple. On the purple field there is ahorizontal silver bar, containing, in purple, astar taken from the seal of the Brothers of theChristian Schools and from the seal of SaintThomas College, predecessor of the Univer-sity, and two stacks of wheat from the obverseof the coat of arms of the Commonwealth ofPennsylvania.

The upper half of the shield contains, ingold, two wolves grasping a cauldron sus-pended from a chain; they are taken from thecoat of arms of the family of Saint IgnatiusLoyola, and they identify the University as aJesuit institution. Below the silver bar is agolden rising sun, symbolic of Saint ThomasAquinas, the shining light of the Church andthe Patron of the University.

Indicating the Diocese of Scranton andWilliam Penn, founder of the Common-wealth, the black border of the shield repro-duces the border of the shield of the Dioceseand the silver hemispheres are taken fromWilliam Penn’s coat of arms.


The crest is a golden cross of the particularstyle known as Patonce. It symbolizes Christ,the goal and the norm of the University’s edu-cational efforts, and it complements themotto, which the University has had since itwas entrusted to the care of the ChristianBrothers in 1899: Religio, Mores, Cultura.

The outer ring surrounding the sealincludes the name and founding date of theUniversity and reference to the Common-wealth of Pennsylvania.

A Community of Scholars

The FacultyOver 250 faculty and administrators partic-

ipate in the University’s educational enter-prise. They hold degrees from 135 differentuniversities in 30 countries on five continents.Cambridge and the University of London inEngland; Louvain and the Gregorian inEurope; the University of Calcutta in India;Sophia University in Japan; Soochow Univer-sity in China; Berkeley, Yale, MIT, NotreDame, Harvard and Georgetown in America– all are represented among the faculty.

By its nature and function, a university fac-ulty constitutes the most cosmopolitan ele-ment in a community. Hindu and Muslim,Christian and Jew, ministers and rabbis –scholars and teachers all – are found on theUniversity’s faculty.

The Jesuit tradition is carried on at theUniversity not only by the 16 Jesuits engagedin teaching or administration, but by the factthat almost half of the faculty hold at leastone degree from a Jesuit college or university.

As indicated in the Mission Statement,excellent teaching and scholarship are regardedas complementary at this institution. In 2002there were over 450 publications, proceedingsand publications, including prestigious peerreviewed journals and numerous books onsubjects ranging from regions of Italy to par-enting to business and spirituality.

Faculty interests are extensive and includeresearch and projects funded by the NationalInstitutes of Health (NIH), National ScienceFoundation (NSF), Department of Energy(DOE), Department of Defense (DOD),Health Resources and Services Administration(HRSA), National Endowment for theHumanities (NEH), Pennsylvania Depart-

ment of Education (PDE), PennsylvaniaCommission on Crime and Delinquency(PCCD), Pennsylvania Humanities Council(PHC), Pennsylvania Council on the Arts(PCA), as well as numerous private founda-tions and corporations.

Many faculty participate in internationalprojects and faculty exchange programs withuniversities and hospitals around the world,bringing this global perspective into the class-room. Among the countries involved are Slo-vakia, Republic of Georgia, Mexico, China,Kyrgyzstan, and Mozambique; funding hasbeen received from the USAID and theDepartment of State, and includes five facultyFulbright Scholars.

The University Directory near the end ofthe catalog presents more detailed informa-tion about the faculty.

Student Diversity andParticipation

As our faculty come from around the world,so do our students. Twenty-seven states andtwenty-two foreign countries are representedin the University’s student body of nearly4,700. In turn, through the Fulbright andStudy Abroad programs, University of Scran-ton students matriculate at such foreign uni-versities as Oxford, Leuven, Madrid, Tubingen,Mainz, Oslo, Fribourg, Cologne, Salamanca,Lancaster, Berne, Strasbourg, the Sorbonneand University College, Dublin. This inter-change of students contributes to the diversityand intellectual life of the University.

Much of the work in this university com-munity is accomplished through studentinput. Considerable scientific research at theUniversity is done by undergraduate studentsin the laboratories and in the field. With fac-ulty assistance, the University newspaper andyearbook are edited and managed by students,and students publish articles and abstracts innational scholarly journals. Students work inthe Public Relations and Admissions offices,computer center, as resident assistants in thedormitories, as research assistants and internsfor deans and the registrar. Similarly, they par-ticipate in the University’s decision making.Seven students are elected by the studentbody to serve on the University Council.Others serve with departmental chairpersonsand faculty on the Conferences which recom-


mend to the Deans changes in academic pro-grams. Students also serve with other mem-bers of the University community on the vari-ous search committees which recommendcandidates for the principal administrativeposts from President to Dean.

Baccalaureate Source of Ph.D.sAchievement is also recognized in a recent

study of the Office of Institutional Researchat Franklin and Marshall College whichshowed that over a 75-year period (1920-95),The University of Scranton ranked 22nd outof 254 four-year, private, master’s-degree-granting institutions as the baccalaureatesource of Ph.D.s in all fields.

LIFE ON CAMPUS

�

The University of Scranton is a devoted to the Jesuit maxim of curapersonalis, or care for each person and the whole person. The Universityrecognizes the integral role that campus life plays in the overall educationof a student. Because in so many ways learning does not stop at the class-room door, the University provides a range of activities and support serv-ices for leadership development, for reflection, for spiritual and personalenrichment, and simply for fun and recreation.

Student ServicesWe recognize that much of a student’s edu-

cation at The University of Scranton takesplace outside the classroom. The Division ofStudent Affairs is committed to the integra-tion of high-quality student learning with thedevelopment of the whole person. In addi-tion, through resources, programs and collab-orative efforts with the academic communityas well as with all University divisions, itstrives to form “men and women for others”in the Jesuit tradition, persons who are distin-guished by a reflective and faith-filled visionfor living that includes commitment to lead-ership and service in the world.

Efforts in the Division of Student Affairsare designed to help students fulfill theirpotential in the following areas: intellectuallife, wellness, diversity, citizen-leadership, lifeplanning, culture and commitment to growth.

Residence LifeThe Residence Life system includes fresh-

man and upperclass residences that providesecure and comfortable living spaces for studyand personal development. Residence fresh-men are assigned with their classmates to resi-dence halls where they are supported in theiracademic programs, personal developmentand leadership opportunities by ResidenceLife Staff and Jesuit Counselors.

Upperclass students may select from arange of housing options that include tradi-tional halls with single and double rooms,suite-style halls with semi-private baths, Uni-versity houses and townhouse apartments.Upperclass students may also choose a ThemeHouse that provides intense experiences inSpanish language and culture, education,technology, community service, wellness, orinternational culture.

Judicial Affairs and AssessmentWhile participating in the life of the Uni-

versity community, it is hoped that studentswill learn and develop within the Jesuit edu-cational tradition.

Thus, it is important for stu-dents to comply with University behavioralexpectations designed to promote respect forothers and observance of the tenets of theUniversity Community Standards Code.

In coordinating the review of student mis-conduct cases, the Judicial Affairs Office helpsstudents understand their behavioral responsi-bilities as members of the University commu-nity and ensures that the rights of accusing

and accused students are upheld within a fair-minded judicial system. Also, this office canassist students experiencing conflict withothers by referring them to a peer mediatorprogram.

This assessment program addressesissues of student growth and development,departmental functioning and operation, andstudent perceptions of divisional effectiveness.

Course Schedule ChangesDropping and Adding Courses

Students may add courses anytime betweenthe initial registration period and the fifthclass-day from the start of a semester. Stu-dents who wish to drop one or more courses,but who plan to continue attendance in atleast one other course during the term, needto secure their dean’s permission. A droppedcourse is not reflected on a student’s tran-script. The last day to drop a course is usuallythe thirty-first calendar day of a semester andthe fourth calendar day of intersession andsummer terms; specific dates are published inthe official University academic calendar. Arefund schedule for dropped courses appliesto students paying on a per-credit basis orcompletely withdrawing from the University.Under this schedule, the last day for 100%tuition refund is usually the tenth calendarday from the first day of classes for a semesterand the second calendar day from the firstday of classes for shorter terms; the refundschedule dates are published in The Univer-sity academic calendar.

Withdrawal from a CourseAfter the end of the period to drop a

course without having it reflected on the tran-


script, students may still withdraw from acourse until the published deadline andreceive a W grade on their transcript. In allcases, students should first discuss the matterwith the course instructor.

Students who wish to withdraw from oneor more courses but who plan to continue toattend at least one course for the term, needto have a Schedule Change Form signed bytheir instructor and dean. Students who wishto withdraw from their last course(s) mustcomplete the Withdrawal/Leave of AbsenceForm. In either case, the forms are availablethrough the Registrar’s Office, the academicadvising centers, academic department chair-persons’ offices, and Dexter Hanley College.The completed forms must be submitted tothe Registrar’s Office or, in the case of DHCstudents, to Dexter Hanley College by thewithdrawal deadline as indicated in The Uni-versity academic calendar. This deadline isapproximately 30 days before the last classday for the semester and a proportionateperiod of time for a short session. Failure towithdraw officially from a course(s) mayresult in a failing grade(s).

Courses Taken as Readers andIndependent Studies

The purpose of reader and independentstudy courses is to enable University of Scran-ton students in good academic and discipli-nary standing to pursue a course of study thatmeets one of the following descriptions.

Readers are study experiences that replicatecourses listed in the catalog and are offered toone or, less frequently, two students. Theseofferings are limited to meeting acute studentprogrammatic need, as identified andaccepted by the dean, and are not meant tobe offered routinely. These courses are desig-nated with the actual course number appear-ing in the undergraduate catalog.

Independent Studies, experiences providedto academically successful students, are spe-cially designed learning experiences and arenot offered in the normal course listing. Theseexperiences may be non-honors courses that,like honors tutorials, are based on a set ofreadings, discussions, and writing assignments;they may be based on experimental work; orthey may involve intensive research activity.These specially designed courses are desig-nated with numbers ending in _82 or _83.

Readers and independent studies may notordinarily be used to fulfill general educationrequirements. Students may take no morethan one reader or independent study perterm and no more than one reader or inde-pendent study per year, on average, duringthe course of their degree programs. Readersand independent studies are to be taken forthe same number of credits as are grantedsimilar courses in the discipline in which thereader or independent study is offered. Read-ers and independent studies may not ordinar-ily be used to repeat failed courses. Readersand independent studies intended for themajor, minor, and cognate are graded underthe normal grading mode (A, A-, B+, etc.)unless excepted by the student’s dean; otherreaders and independent studies usually aregraded under the Credit/No Credit gradingmode (CS: Credit Satisfactory for grades equiv-alent to C or higher; CD: Credit Deficiency forgrades equivalent to C-, D+, and D; NC: NoCredit for grades equivalent to F). Exceptionsto these policies must be approved by thedean of the student’s college and by the deanof the school offering the course. The com-pleted Reader and Independent Study formsshould be submitted to the Registrar’s Officeor Dexter Hanley College by the last day toadd courses as published in the Universityacademic calendar. A fee of $40 per credit inaddition to the normal tuition will be charged.

Faculty conducting independent studycourses will provide the dean’s office with acopy of the syllabus, reading lists, and exami-nations used in the independent study. Nor-mally, faculty are limited to mentoring nomore than two students per semester in anycombination of readers, independent studies,and honors tutorials. Exceptions to thislimitation can be made by the Dean for pro-grammatic reasons or in response to coursecancellations.

Enrollment Status and -Attendance Policy

To be considered a full-time student,undergraduate students must be registered forat least 12 credits in any given term or semes-ter, regardless of the number of creditsremaining to complete degree requirements.

Students are expected to attend all sched-uled meetings of courses in which they areenrolled. Students are responsible for all mate-


rial presented and announcements made dur-ing any class. Attendance policies for individ-ual courses are determined by the instructorand must be promulgated in writing in thecourse syllabi.

Final Examination ConflictsWhen a student has three or more exami-

nations scheduled on the same day, accordingto the examination schedule issued by theRegistrar’s Office, the student can decidewhether to take all three examinations on thesame day or to have one rescheduled. If thestudent wishes to have one of the three exam-inations rescheduled, the examination withthe lowest priority will be rescheduled. Orderof priority: (1) major course, (2) cognatecourse, (3) elective course.

Where a conflict exists between two coursesof the same kind (e.g., two cognates or twoelectives), the more senior professor – interms of years of service at The University ofScranton – will have first priority.

If a student wishes to reschedule a conflictexamination, he/she must advise the facultymember prior to the last week of class. If anappropriate resolution cannot be reachedbetween the student and the faculty member,the student should contact his/her dean.

Grading SystemFinal grades are determined by faculty for

all registered students at the completion ofeach fall and spring semester, as well asinterim terms, according to the gradingscheme defined in this section. Final gradesare submitted by faculty through the author-ized grading system designated by the Regis-trar’s Office and are recorded on the perma-nent transcript of academic record for eachstudent. Grades are available to each studentthrough their confidential account in theUniversity Information System (UIS) athttps://uis.uofs.edu after the grade submissiondeadline published in the academic calendar.

In addition, freshmen receive mid-semestergrades at the mid-point of each fall and springsemester to provide feedback about their per-formance in their current courses to thatpoint in time. Sophomores, juniors, and sen-iors receive mid-semester grades only if theirperformance is deficient (grade of C- or less)to that point in time. Mid-semester grades

enable students to gauge if remedial or otheractions, such as course withdrawal, are war-ranted. Mid-semester grades are temporaryindications of performance and are notrecorded on students’ academic transcripts.

A, A- Excellent (outstanding and/ororiginal work)

B+, B, B- GoodC+, C Satisfactory

C-, D+, D Passing but well below averageF Failure (below minimum accept-

able standards)

Additional Grading CodesW Withdrew officially; deadline is

one month before the last day ofclasses for the semester

I Incomplete – notes a course notcompleted due to illness or otherserious reason; to remove thisgrade students must satisfy allcourse requirements by mid-point of the following semesteror the grade will be converted toan F.

IP In Progress – must be removedby the last day of the followingsemester (normally for honorsthesis courses only)

S Satisfactory – not calculated ingrade point average (GPA)

U Unsatisfactory – equivalent tofailure; not calculated in GPA

AU Audited course not taken forcredit; does not count towarddegree requirements or in the GPA

CR Credit by examCS “Credit Satisfactory” – notes a

course taken under the “credit-no credit” option in which agrade of “C” or higher is earned;counts in hours earned towarddegree but not in GPA

CD “Credit Deficiency” – notes acourse taken under the “credit-no credit” option in which apassing grade less than C (C-,D+, D) is earned; counts inhours earned toward degree butnot in GPA

NC “No Credit” – notes a coursetaken under the “credit/nocredit” option in which a passinggrade is not earned; does not


count toward hours earnedtoward degree and does notcount in GPA

NG No grade assignedTC Transfer credit

AuditEntry of the audit grade (AU) on a tran-

script assumes satisfactory attendance. Thestudent should consult with the instructor asto what constitutes satisfactory attendance. Achange to audit can be made only by passingstudents and before the end of the first half ofa semester.

Repeat of CourseSpecial permission is not needed to repeat

courses. Recording of grades for repeatedcourses shall be governed by the followingconditions: (1) credit for a course will begranted only once; (2) credit for the coursewill be lost if the course is repeated and failed;(3) the most recent credit and grade will counttoward the grade point average with the excep-tions that a W, I, or NG grade cannot replaceanother grade; (4) each attempt to complete acourse will be reported on the student’s tran-script even though the credits of the earlierattempts do not count in the cumulative gradepoint average (e.g., a course with a grade of Fwill continue to appear on the transcript evenafter the course has been repeated with a pass-ing grade, although the credits from the initialfailed attempt will not be used in the calcula-tion of the cumulative GPA).

Change of GradeA student who believes the grade received

for a course is unreasonable should firstappeal the matter to the professor, whosedecision is normally final. The student has theright, however, to appeal to the faculty mem-ber’s chairperson, who will make a recom-mendation in writing to his or her dean. Thestudent may request the dean to review thematter. The decision of the dean is final.Ordinarily, no grade change will be consid-ered unless it has been reviewed by the dean’soffice within one month from the time theoriginal grade was available to the student.

Grade Point Average (GPA)A standard used in judging a student’s per-

formance is the grade point average (GPA).

The value of each semester hour of creditearned is determined as follows: a grade of Ais valued at 4 quality points; A- at 3.67 qual-ity points; B+ at 3.33; B at 3.0; B- at 2.67;C+ at 2.33; C at 2.0; C- at 1.67; D+ at 1.33;D at 1.0. An F yields no quality points.Thus, for example, a 3-credit course with agrade of A yields 12 quality points; a B yields9; a C yields 6.

The GPA is computed by dividing the totalnumber of quality points earned by the totalof grade point average credit hours. For exam-ple, 15 credit hours, all at C grade, wouldearn 30 Quality Points or a 2.0 GPA (30/15).

The total number of grade point averagecredit hours includes those courses with finalgrades of F as well as A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+. C,C-, D+ and D. The grade designations of CD,CR, CS, I, IP, NC, NG, S, W, TC and U donot count toward the GPA. This grade pointaverage applies only to courses taken at TheUniversity of Scranton and is not affected bycredit transferred from other colleges.

A grade point average listing is made at theend of each semester. On the basis of his orher cumulative grade point average, a student’srank in class and eligibility for Latin honors atgraduation are determined. See “Latin Honorsupon Graduation.”

Grades with Distinction

Dean’s ListTo be eligible for the Dean’s List, College

of Arts and Sciences, Kania School of Man-agement, and Panuska College of ProfessionalStudies students must earn 12 or more credithours which count toward the semester GPA(credit hours of CS, CD, and S grades are notcounted toward this requirement). DexterHanley College students need to complete 6or more credit hours which count toward thesemester GPA to be eligible for the Dean’sList. Of the eligible students, those who earna 3.50 or higher semester GPA and no gradeof D+, D, F, CD, NC, I, NG or U are namedto the Dean’s List for that semester. Studentsplaced on the Dean’s List will have this dis-tinction indicated on their transcripts. A stu-dent’s GPA will be recalculated when the lasttemporary grade (I, NG) is replaced by a finalgrade. If this new GPA meets the above stan-dard, the student will be placed on the Dean’sList.


Presidential HonorsTo be eligible for the Presidential Honors,

students must maintain a 3.5 GPA or higherfor both the fall and spring semesters. Stu-dents who are selected for Presidential Honorsare recognized each year at an Honors Convo-cation, which is held during the fall semester.

Grade Option: “Credit/No Credit” The “credit/no credit” option is designed to

encourage students to take courses of interestbut outside their concentrated areas of study.Courses used to fill free elective and free cog-nate requirements are eligible to be takenwith this option. Courses taken under the“credit-no credit” option count toward theaccumulated credit hours for the degree, butthey are not included in the grade point aver-age calculation.

Students with a cumulative GPA of 2.67 orgreater who have accumulated at least 60credits toward their degree may elect to takesome courses on a “credit/no credit” basis.Students may apply for the “credit-no credit”option by seeking approval from their dean’soffice and filing the completed forms with theregistrar by the end of the second week of thesemester (or by the second day of summersessions and intersession). The option cannotbe reversed after the fourth week of class (orthe fourth day of summer sessions and Inters-ession). Courses used to fulfill general educa-tion requirements, courses in the major andcognate, as well as courses in a minor or con-centration, and those used to fulfill require-ments in the Honors, SJLA, and BusinessLeadership programs may not be taken underthe “credit-no credit” option. Students maytake no more than a total of four coursesunder this option, and no more than one persemester (other than internships, practicums,or physical education courses). Studentsreceive the following transcript notationsunder the “credit/no credit” option: A gradeof C or higher yields a CS (credit satisfactory)notation; a passing grade less than C (C-, D,D+) yields a CD (credit deficiency) notation;a grade less than passing (F) yields an NC (nocredit) notation.

Grade Difficulties: Probation andDismissal

Three-Year Bachelor’s DegreeThe University of Scranton’s curriculum

and academic calendar allow qualified stu-dents to attain their bachelor’s degrees withinthree years – thus considerably reducing theoverall cost of their undergraduate educationand allowing the student to enter the market-place or begin graduate and professional stud-ies a year earlier. While Advanced Placementor College Level Examination Programs cred-its are very useful for this, a student who doesnot bring these from high school may stillcomplete the degree program in most majorswithin three years through the use of Januaryintersession courses and/or summer-schoolsessions. The presumption is that normal aca-demic progress is being made. Typically, twosummer schools (12 credits each) and two orthree January intersessions will suffice. Espe-cially qualified students may be allowed over-loads from the appropriate dean to furtherreduce this – as will Advanced Placementcredits. The dean should be contacted as earlyas possible in a student’s career in order tofacilitate the needed scheduling. Enteringfreshman students may want to use the sum-mer school immediately following their highschool graduation to further this three-yearprogram; the Director of Admissions shouldbe consulted with respect to this.

The Honors Program at The University ofScranton concentrates on directed independ-ent work for selected students who desiregreater depth and breadth in their education.The Honors curriculum is designed to fit intoexisting University course requirements andto support students as they move into increas-ingly independent work. The sophomorecourses, open only to Honors students, enablethem to meet a University general educationrequirement on a more advanced level.

Junior Honors students take tutorials bothin and out of their majors. A tutorial is anexploration of a topic on an individuallydirected basis; the student meets with a fac-ulty mentor weekly throughout the semester.Each Honors student must take three tutori-als, at least one in the major and one out ofthe major or in the second major. The studentmay take a fourth and fifth tutorial. Thesetutorials count toward major, minor, cognate,or general education requirements.

In the Honors seminars, a small group ofHonors students meets weekly with the direc-tor and assistant director for student-led dis-cussions. The junior seminar is based on aninterdisciplinary reading list; the senior semi-nar is based on the senior Honors projects.There is no tuition charge for these seminars,since they are the only Honors requirementsthat do not satisfy ordinary graduationrequirements.

Senior Honors students do a yearlong, 6-credit project in their majors, working underthe guidance of a professor to explore a spe-cialized topic, either academic or professionalin nature. Upon completion, the project isdefended before a board of three faculty mem-bers who judge whether it is of Honors caliber.

There is no extra charge for Honors work.In addition, Honors students may takebetween 12 and 21 credits in their third andfourth years at the flat rate.

Admission to the Honors ProgramApplications are accepted every fall from

those students who have at least 18 hours ofcollege credit and who expect to graduate afterthree more years of work at the University.Applicants must ordinarily have at least a 3.3GPA; a minimum of a 3.5 GPA (cum laude)is required for graduation in the program. Thenumber of spaces in the program is limited,and admission is based on the applicant’s highschool and college records, SAT scores, appli-cation, recommendations, and interviews. Forfurther information contact Dr. Ellen Casey,Director of the Honors Program.

Pre-Law ProgramThe University is justly proud of its tradi-

tion in providing students seeking careers inthe law with a solid preparation for thedemands of legal study and practice. Scrantongraduates in all regions of the nation haveachieved distinction in virtually every area ofthe law, including a member of the Class of1999 who is currently serving as a clerk to theChief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.

The clearest measure of the strength of theUniversity’s Pre-Law Program is the remark-able success its graduates have had in winning

admittance to law schools throughout thecountry. Recent graduates have been admittedto many prestigious law schools, includingCornell, Georgetown, Penn, American Uni-versity, Boston College, Catholic University,Dickinson, Fordham, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh,Rutgers, Seton Hall, Temple, Villanova andWidener.

Pre-Law CurriculumNo specific undergraduate major is

required for admission to law school; theAmerican Bar Association’s statement onPreparation for Legal Education does not rec-ommend any particular group of eithermajors or individual courses, noting that “thelaw is too multifaceted, and the human mindtoo adaptable, to permit such a linearapproach to preparing for law school or thepractice of law.” The ABA statement, how-ever, does describe certain skills and valuesthat are essential to success in law school andto competent practice. These are:

1. Analytic and Problem Solving skills,involving critical thinking and the abilityto structure and evaluate arguments forand against propositions;

2. Critical Reading Abilities, derived fromsubstantial experience in the close read-ing and critical analysis of complex texts;

3. Writing Skills, developed through rigor-ous practice in preparing and revisingoriginal pieces of substantial length;

4. Oral Communication and ListeningAbilities, based on experience in givingand evaluating formal presentations;

5. Research and Time Management Skills,involving the ability to plan a researchstrategy, to undertake substantial librarywork, and to organize large amounts ofinformation within a fixed period oftime; and, not least of all,

6. a Commitment to Serving Others andPromoting Justice, based on significantexperience in service projects while anundergraduate.

The skills noted above can be acquired bystudents majoring or minoring in any disci-pline that involves intensive reading andextensive writing such as, for example, Eng-lish, history or political science. At the sametime, students who have majored in otherareas, including philosophy, languages, man-agement, any of the social sciences, as well as


the natural sciences, have enjoyed success inthe study and practice of law. Ultimately, thebest preparation for law school comes fromtaking challenging courses from demandingprofessors.

In addition to these skills and values, theABA has identified several more specific areasof knowledge that pre-law students shouldacquire as undergraduates. The University’sCurriculum 2000 provides a frameworkwhereby all can be acquired through theGeneral Education requirements applicable toall majors.

• a broad understanding of Americanhistory (HIST 110-111)

• a fundamental understanding of politicalthought and the American politicalsystem (PS 130-131)

• a basic understanding of ethical theory(PHIL 210)

• a grounding in economics, especiallymicroeconomic theory (ECON 153)

• an understanding of basic pre-calculusmathematics (MATH 106 or equivalent)

• a basic understanding of human behaviorand social interaction (PSYC 110 or SOC110)

• an understanding of diverse cultureswithin and beyond the United States (the6-credit cultural-diversity GE requirement)

In addition to the courses listed abovewhich satisfy general education requirements,certain departments offer courses that can beof particular value to pre-law students andwhich, depending upon their major, can betaken as electives within either the major orcognate. Such courses include HIST 336(History of American Law), HIST 337(British Constitutional and Legal History), PS311-312 (American Constitutional Law), andWRTG 212 (Writing for the Law).

Pre-Law InternshipsInterested students with a grade point aver-

age above 3.00 at the time of application may,with the approval of the appropriate dean,receive academic credit for internships servedin the offices of either private law firms orvarious legal agencies such as the districtattorney, public defender, or district magis-trate. Prior approval of the planned internshipis necessary. A minimum of 150 hours workis required for internship credit in PS 280.

Application forms for these internships areavailable from the Registrar’s Office.

Pre-Law Advisory CouncilA pre-law advisory council headed by Dr.

Frank X.J. Homer, Director of Law SchoolPlacement, provides continuing advice oncourse selection, career planning and the lawschool application process. He is assisted byMs. Constance E. McDonnell, AssociateDirector of Career Services, and Dr. Robert F.Hueston, moderator of the student Pre-LawSociety, along with faculty members from thedepartments of Criminal Justice, English,History, Philosophy and Political Science aswell as faculty representatives from both ThePanuska College of Professional Studies andThe Kania School of Management.

Law School Admission TestAlong with a student’s undergraduate aca-

demic record, the LSAT score is a criticalfactor in the law-school-admission process.Ordinarily, pre-law students take the LSAT atthe end of the junior year or early in the sen-ior year. As a means of assisting Universitystudents to score up to their fullest potentialon the LSAT, on-campus LSAT workshopsare offered at least twice each year. These pro-vide University students with an alternative tocostly commercial test-preparation services.

Pre-Medical ProgramThe success of the University’s Pre-Medical

Program has been outstanding. Since 1980,the University has placed an average of morethan 50 students per year into Americanschools of medicine, dentistry, optometry,podiatry and veterinary medicine, often in themost prestigious schools in the country.

The University of Scranton offers its pre-medical students unique opportunities inanticipation of changes in healthcare deliveryfor the 21st century. They include a specialexposure to primary-care medicine (the prac-tice of family physicians, general internists,and general pediatricians), predicted to be thearea of greatest growth in medicine. Studentshave an opportunity to participate in anundergraduate primary-care externshipthrough the Scranton-Temple ResidencyExternship Program. In this program, stu-dents accompany physicians at ScrantonMercy and Moses Taylor Hospitals to gain


exposure to clinical settings in primary-caremedicine. Students gain transcript recognitionfor participation in this externship, as well as aclear view of the profession they seek to enter.

A special opportunity is offered to eightstudents each year through the MedicalScholars Program, a cooperative program atThe University of Scranton and Temple Uni-versity School of Medicine. Through this pro-gram, highly qualified high school seniors areoffered early assurance, contingency admissionto Temple University School of Medicine.

Moreover, The University of Scranton isone of only six undergraduate institutionsparticipating in the Jefferson Medical CollegePhysician Shortage Area Program (PSAP).This program is designed to recruit and edu-cate medical students who intend to enterfamily medicine and practice in physician-shortage areas in Pennsylvania. Finally, Uni-versity of Scranton students are encouraged toparticipate in programs at the Center forPrimary Care at the Penn State College ofMedicine, Hershey.

The Pre-Medical Program is supported by anetwork of hundreds of medical alumni andby an active Medical Alumni Council. TheMedical Alumni Council has compiled adirectory of physicians who have agreed toserve as resources for information or intern-ship opportunities for University of Scrantonstudents. It also sponsors on-campus pro-grams to which undergraduate students areinvited.

Pre-Medical Undergraduate CurriculaMany undergraduate students who intend

to apply to health-professions schools chooseBiology or Biochemistry as their major. How-ever, students may choose any major, pro-vided that they meet the requirements forentrance to medical, dental, or other health-professions schools.

For students at The University of Scranton,the minimum requirements are listed below.All courses must be taken with their corre-sponding labs.

• BIOL 141-142: General Biology• CHEM 112-113: General and Analytical

Chemistry• CHEM 232-233: Organic Chemistry• PHYS 120-121: General PhysicsVirtually all medical schools require a year of

English literature, and many require a semesteror a year of mathematics, including calculus.

Many medical schools recommend thatstudents demonstrate a wide range of interestsin their choice both of courses and of extra-curricular activities. Volunteer work isstrongly recommended by the admissionscommittees of most health-professionsschools, as is course work in ethics, particu-larly in PHIL 212: Medical Ethics, PHIL316: American Perspectives on Health CareEthics, and/or T/RS 330: Biomedical Ethics.

Some medical and dental schools also havespecific prerequisites for English, mathematics,or other courses, as listed in Medical SchoolAdmission Requirements, or Admission Require-ments of U.S. and Canadian Dental Schools.

The Association of American Medical Col-leges recommends that undergraduate stu-dents planning to apply to medical schoolacquire a strong background in the naturalsciences, so students should consider coursesin biology, chemistry, physics and mathemat-ics beyond the minimum requirements. Stu-dents should develop strong oral and writtencommunication skills, and they should com-plete rigorous courses in the humanities andsocial sciences. Honors courses and programs,independent study, and/or undergraduateresearch are also encouraged.

The University offers all applicants tohealth-professions schools the option of a for-mal applicant evaluation by the Health Pro-fessions Evaluation Committee (HPEC). Thiscommittee consists of 19 faculty and adminis-trators representing a wide range of academicdisciplines. It is directed by Dr. Mary Engel,University Director of Fellowship Programsand Director of Medical School Placement,who also advises the Health ProfessionsOrganization.

All applicants who seek to apply to doc-toral-level health professions schools are eval-uated on academic record, volunteer andcommunity service activities, extracurricularactivities, and demonstrated motivationtoward their chosen careers. Students submitdocuments and request faculty letters of eval-uation and are interviewed by two membersof HPEC. Through the HPEC interview, stu-dents have an opportunity to develop theirinterviewing skills and receive feedback ontheir application materials and interviewingperformance. The HPEC evaluation packagesent to health professions schools provides acomprehensive narrative which describes in

depth an applicant’s qualifications for advancedstudy and a career in the health professions.

The University also makes available to stu-dents a wide variety of resources in the HealthProfessions Lending Library; informationabout materials which students may borrow isavailable from the Director of Medical SchoolPlacement.

Additional Information Information and copies of publications are

also available in the office of Dr. Mary Engel,Director of Medical School Placement, St.Thomas 312. In addition, the student-supported Health Professions OrganizationWeb site at www.scranton.edu/premed pro-vides extensive helpful information for inter-ested students.

Catholic Studies ProgramKathleen C. Dwyer, Ph.D., Director

The Catholic Studies Program seeks to pro-vide every student with the opportunity toengage the Catholic tradition in a deeper andbroader way than the typical program of stud-ies can provide. Accordingly, this programcasts a wide net over what the Catholic tradi-tion and heritage are and how they interfacewith human endeavor. Catholic Studies is aspecialization built around a multi-disciplinarycore that provides a systematic way of integrat-ing the many facets of Catholic tradition withvarious academic disciplines. Because Catholictradition is integrally linked to virtually everysubject, it can provide a natural integrativecoherence for nearly all majors and areas ofstudies. Thus the CSP provides a good meansof organizing many general education require-ments into a unified concentration; it is anattractive academic program for rounding outa student’s Catholic higher education.

The Catholic Studies Program consists ofboth inter- and uni-disciplinary courses that

provide opportunities to study the Catholicheritage in the ancient and the contemporaryChurch alike, and give access to the richforms in which it has been expressed in litera-ture, art, architecture, music, history, philoso-phy, science, etc. Catholic Studies welcomesall interested students whether or not they areCatholic. It is compatible with all majors. Ide-ally, students will enter in their freshman year,but it is possible for students to enter in theirsophomore year. Courses in the program willmeet either general education, major, minoror cognate requirements. All non-CSP stu-dents are welcome in any course(s) in the pro-gram, but CSP students are given enrollmentpreference. Honors tutorials are encouraged.SJLA students are welcome.

All courses taught in the Catholic StudiesProgram will seek to promote appreciation ofthe Catholic tradition by being faithful to theChurch’s apostolic teaching. Courses will alsoencourage students (1) to integrate faith andacademics; (2) to study the Catholic Traditionin an intellectually rigorous way; (3) to assesshuman intellectual activity and experience inthe light of the Catholic faith; and (4) toexamine the experience of Catholics in his-tory, politics, various social groups, philo-sophical and religious movements, and/or sci-ence and technology.

The concentration consists of 21 credits: 6are required; the other 15 are electives. T/RS184C must be taken; one semester of Christ-ian Classics is also required. Students maybuild their studies on their majors and inter-ests. Students are invited to petition for read-ers that meet program standards. Studentsmay likewise seek permission for courses notcross-listed to count for credit, provided theyare eligible to do significant Catholic Studieswork in them.

Catholic Studies Electives Students will choose five courses from a list

Peace and Justice Studies ProgramThe Synod of Bishops of the Roman

Catholic Church (1971) reported that “actionson behalf of justice and participation in thetransformation of the world fully appear to usas a constitutive dimension of the preaching ofthe Gospel…” The 32nd General Congrega-tion of the Society of Jesus (1974-75) estab-lished a pedagogical norm for its own institu-tions of higher education when it determinedthat the practice of faith was inextricablylinked to the promotion of justice. In this veinthe University’s Peace and Justice Program wasinstituted to bring academic studies, includingclasses, community service and interdiscipli-nary research, into the process of building amore just and thus more peaceful society.

The Peace and Justice Concentration willbe an attractive complement to the academicprograms of students planning careers in law,international relations, human services, min-istry and teaching – to name only the mostobvious. However, any students who have apersonal interest in the problems of peace andjustice, regardless of their career goals, canbenefit from its multi-disciplinary concentra-tion of courses. It is open to majors from allthe undergraduate schools of the University.Eight courses (24 credits) must be taken bystudents in order to have “Peace and JusticeConcentration” added to their transcript.Courses may be taken as part of the cognaterequirement (with permission of the chair-

Women’s Studies ConcentrationSharon M. Meagher, Ph.D., Director

The Women’s Studies Concentration con-sists of courses that examine women’s experi-ences and the ways gender-related issues affecthuman lives and cultures. Faculty and stu-dents analyze the ways gender roles andimages, and assumptions about gender, arereflected in art, business, literature, law, phi-losophy, public policy, religion, language, his-tory, the sciences, and their own lives. At thesame time many Women’s Studies courses willaddress issues of race, class, ethnicity, and agethat intersect with gender-related issues.

Women’s Studies courses focus on women’sexperiences in history, society, and culture, andexamine their reactions to such experiences;examine institutional structure/modes ofauthority/analysis of power, especially consid-ering their implications for women; and incor-porate one or more feminist analyses/scholarlyworks (recognizing that there are multiple, andeven conflicting, feminist perspectives).


Women’s Studies seek to promote criticalthinking, intellectual growth, and a self-awareness useful to all students. It is an attrac-tive academic supplement to the programs ofstudents planning careers in government, law,business, human services, ministry, and teach-ing – to name but a few.

Courses for the Women’s Studies Concen-tration are drawn from all the colleges at theuniversity and are open to students in allmajors. (To enroll, students must see theDirector of Women’s Studies.) The concentra-tion consists of six courses including onerequired core course. The student may takePHIL 218 or SOC 215 as the required corecourse. The remaining five courses are chosenacross several departments by the studentfrom cross-listed courses approved by theWomen’s Studies Committee. Many of thecross-listed Women’s Studies courses also ful-fill major, minor, cognate, and/or general edu-cation requirements.

Students may seek permission from theWomen’s Studies Committee to take no morethan one reader for Women’s Studies credit,subject to the usual rules governing readers.Students may also petition to substitute nomore than one course not cross-listed withWomen’s Studies, if the course has sufficientWomen’s Studies content and the student isable to do a significant project/assignment ona Women’s Studies topic.

OverviewThe Art and Music program offers two

minors: Art History and Music History.Foundation courses in studio art are alsooffered (e.g., drawing, design and painting).Each discipline aims to develop a student’screative expression, to prompt aesthetic appre-ciation and judgment, to develop criticalthinking, and to deepen understanding of theimpulse to create with sound and image.

Designated courses in Art History andMusic History satisfy General Educationrequirements in the following areas: Humani-ties, Cultural Diversity, and Writing-Intensive.

Minor in Art HistoryA minor in Art History requires 18 credits,

including ARTH 111 and 112. Four addi-tional courses in Art History are required.Internships at the Lackawanna HistoricalSociety and Anthracite Museum are availableto Art History minors upon completing 12credits in Art History.

Students with minors in Art History haverecently enrolled in graduate degree programsin art history, decorative arts, library scienceand museum education. Others have acceptedemployment with the Metropolitan Museumof Art, Sotheby’s New York and the FranklinInstitute, Philadelphia. Students with music lit-erature minors have pursued careers in record-ing, musical composition and performance.

Studio artists have continued their studiesat the Moore College of Art, Maryland Insti-tute of Art, and the Art Students’ League,New York City.

Minor in Music HistoryA minor in Music History requires 18

credits, including MUS 111, 112, 235, 236,and two additional music courses numbered110 or above.

Waldeck, Ph.D.

OverviewCourses in the Department of Biology are

designed to achieve the following objectives:(1) To present the fundamental scientific factsand concepts which are needed for an under-standing of the living world and people’s rela-tion to it; (2) To prepare students for advancedstudy or work in other biological fields.

The Bachelor of Science degree in Biologyprogram supplies preprofessional preparationmeeting all requirements and recommendationsof professional schools (medicine, dentistry,veterinary medicine, optometry, podiatry).

While the department’s record in thepreparation of physicians is an impressive oneas indicated in the Pre-Medical section, itsrecord as one of the baccalaureate sources ofPh.D.s in the biological sciences is equallyprestigious. In this respect, a 1988 study bythe Office of Institutional Research atFranklin and Marshall College shows thatover the previous 66 years, The University ofScranton ranked 48th out of 877 four-yearprivate, primarily undergraduate, institutions.

The Biology curriculum appears below. Inaddition to the 9-credit freshman course inGeneral Biology, biology majors will select 33credits of Biology electives with at least onecourse in each of the following five coursegroups (special exemption may be made bypermission of the chairperson).

Cellular (C): BIOL 250, 255, 344, 346,348, 349, 350, 351, 352,354, 358, 444, 445, 450

Biology majors may use up to 6 credits inChemistry (CHEM 350, 351, 360, 450, 451)as Biology electives.

See the Pre-Medical Program section forthe premedical advisor’s elective recommenda-tions for pre-professional students.

Minor in BiologyThe student must complete Biology 141-

142, including the laboratory, and 15 addi-tional credits of courses suitable for the Biol-ogy major. Biology electives must be selectedfrom at least three of the five establishedcourse groups, and must include at least 3credits of advanced laboratory work. It isstrongly suggested that a potential Biologyminor seek the advice of the department’schairperson concerning the selection of elec-tives suitable to his/her personal goals.

OverviewThe department offers five majors: Chem-

istry, Biochemistry, Chemistry-Business,Chemistry-Computers, and Medical Technol-ogy. The program in Chemistry is approvedby the American Chemical Society, whichmeans that graduates may be certified by theAmerican Chemical Society if they meet therequirements. In addition, outstanding stu-dents in the Chemistry and Biochemistrymajors are eligible for consideration in thecombined, five-year baccalaureate/master’sdegree program (please refer to the section onthe Graduate School and to the GraduateSchool Catalog for specifics of the program).The strength of the department is indicatedby the fact that The University of Scrantonhas been one of the leading schools in thecountry in the number of master’s degreesawarded in chemistry.

The prestige of the department is alsodemonstrated by a study of the Office ofInstitutional Research at Franklin and Mar-shall College which ranked the University ofScranton 34th out of 917 private, four-year,primarily undergraduate colleges as the bac-calaureate source of those earning Ph.D.s inChemistry between 1981 and 1990.

Recent graduates of the department havebeen admitted to doctoral programs at anumber of major universities including Har-vard, Cornell, Johns Hopkins and the Univer-sity of Pennsylvania. In addition, some gradu-ates have attended medical and dental schools,and some have gone on to law school.

Minor in ChemistryThe minor in Chemistry includes Organic

Chemistry (6 credits), Physical Chemistry (6credits), and a chemistry laboratory course (3credits).

BiochemistryThe department offers two tracks of study

for biochemistry majors. The tracks are simi-lar for the first three semesters, allowing stu-dents the option to change between the twotracks within that time frame, should theircareer goals change. The research track pre-pares students for graduate study in biochem-istry or for a career in which independentresearch experience would be beneficial. Thepre-professional track is more flexible andallows students a greater selection of electivecourses in chemistry and biology in order totailor their course of study to meet their indi-vidual career goals. The pre-professional trackprovides a strong background for studentspursuing further studies in law or medicine orcareer paths not emphasizing research.

Minor in BiochemistryThe minor in Biochemistry includes

Organic Chemistry (6 credits), Biochemistry(3 credits), Biophysical Chemistry (3 credits)and Chemistry laboratory (3 credits).

Chemistry-BusinessThe Chemistry-Business major combines

theoretical and technical instruction in chem-istry with management training in business.Graduates of this program will be concernednot only with chemical research and techno-logical development but also with manage-ment problems in science-related industries.

Most Chemistry majors tend to beresearch-oriented although almost half of theapproximately 100,000 chemists employed inAmerican private industry are engaged inwork other than research and development:management, marketing and sales. This com-bined degree was formulated to preparechemists to assume these latter responsibilities.

From the point of view of the business stu-dent, almost one-third of all business gradu-ates can expect to be employed in a chem-istry-related field: pharmaceuticals, plastics,petroleum, etc. Most Business majorsemployed in such industries must develop,

often on their own, the technical knowledgeneeded to understand their company’s opera-tions and products. A fundamental back-ground in chemistry as provided in this con-centration is a distinct advantage toindividuals planning such careers.

Chemistry-ComputersThe Chemistry-Computers program is

designed to provide a vehicle for preparingstudents in the area of intensive computer usein the field of chemistry. The use of computershas long been important in chemistry, but inrecent years areas such as molecular modelingand design have become increasingly impor-tant. Drug companies use these techniques forthe design of drugs for particular medicalproblems. In addition, most of the modernanalytical instruments are highly enhanced byon-line computer processing of data. This pro-gram is designed to enable students to enterindustry or graduate programs in areas such ascomputational chemistry, chemical informa-tion retrieval, or molecular design.

B.S. in Medical TechnologyThe Bachelor of Science in Medical Tech-

nology degree program, under the directionof Dr. Trudy Dickneider, is designed to trainand qualify students as medical technologistsor clinical laboratory scientists serving hospi-tals, clinical laboratories, industrial or researchinstitutions. The program meets and exceedsthe requirements of the National AccreditingAgency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences(NAACLS). The program involves the satis-factory completion of the first three years of acurriculum of study (indicated below) at theUniversity of Scranton and the fourth year ofclinical education at a hospital having aSchool of Medical Technology approved byNAACLS. After completing the program, stu-dents take a national certification examina-tion. To date the University has arranged affil-iation with hospitals in the cities of Abington,Williamsport and Wilkes-Barre. See affiliationsat the end of this catalog.

The curriculum for the B.S. in MedicalTechnology closely parallels the B.S. in Bio-chemistry program so that students have theoption to change to the latter after two years,should their career goals change.

Career opportunities in computer engineer-ing range from computer applications such ascomputational medicine, oceanic engineering,and office automation to robotics, softwareengineering systems design, graduate study,reliability and other applications such as neu-ral networks.

Electrical EngineeringThe Electrical Engineering major of the

Department of Physics/EE prepares the stu-dent for the analysis and design of electronicsystems and devices whose principal functionsare the shaping and control of information.The Department of Physics/EE offers fourareas of focus: Computer Engineering, Bio-medical Engineering, Optical Engineering,and Environmental Instrumentation Engi-neering. The specific electives for these areasof focus will be chosen in consultation withthe student’s academic advisor.

Electronics-BusinessThe state of the business world today is

such that a major portion of its administrativeeffort must be geared to the supervision ofpersons engaged in complex technologicalprocesses often involving applications of elec-tronics. As a consequence, the ideal adminis-trator is now one who is conversant with bothgood business practice and technologicalknow-how. The Electronics-Business majorprovides a student with a program of carefullyselected business and economics courses cou-pled with a series of coordinated physics andelectrical engineering courses so as to providepreparation for an administrative career in anelectronically oriented business enterprise.The program also provides sufficient prepara-tion for further studies leading to the Masterof Business Administration.

Pre-EngineeringThe University provides a pre-engineering

program which introduces the student to thehighly technical training necessary for allphases of the engineering profession. This is atwo-year course of study which enables thestudent to transfer to another school to com-plete his or her degree work.

Of special importance is The University ofScranton’s association with the CooperativeEngineering Program at the University ofDetroit Mercy, and its programs in chemical,

civil, electrical, environmental, and mechani-cal engineering. For the student who hascompleted the pre-engineering curriculum atThe University of Scranton, the DetroitMercy three-year cooperative program offersalternate semesters of formal instruction andwork experience in industry. A direct transferprogram is available with Widener College,which may be either a co-op program begin-ning in the summer preceding the junior yearor a regular two-year program. In addition tothe valuable experience gained from industry,many students have been able to pay the costof their tuition from the remunerationreceived for their work. This amounts to asubstantial equivalent scholarship grant.Other schools into which University of Scran-ton students transfer include Lehigh, Buck-nell, Penn State and Drexel.

Generally, different engineering programshave slightly different requirements whichmust be completed before starting the junioryear. These will vary from school to school.Therefore, students should, before beginningthe sophomore year, consult with an advisorat the institution at which they plan to com-plete their studies.

OverviewThe English Department offers courses in

literature, theatre, writing, film, pedagogy,and theory. Courses are designated as English(ENLT), Theatre (THTR) and Writing(WRTG) and are described below under these

134 College of Arts and Sciences • English

groupings. In addition to the majors in Eng-lish and Theatre described in the followingsection, the department offers minors in Eng-lish, Theatre, and Writing. If they wish, Eng-lish majors may pursue either minors ortracks in Theatre and Writing. English majorspursuing tracks in Writing or Theatre mayplace these courses in either the elective orcognate area of the major. English majorspursuing minors in Writing or Theatre mayplace these courses in the cognate area but notin the elective area of the major. (Coursesused for a minor cannot be applied torequirements or electives within the major.)

English MajorThe student majoring in English must take

ENLT 140: English Inquiry or the equivalent,and twelve other courses designated ENLT,THTR, or WRTG. Students are required totake at least one course in each of the follow-ing areas:

A. British Literature: Medieval andRenaissance (ENLT 234, 235, 240, 340,342, 343)

B. British Literature: Restoration andEighteenth Century (ENLT 241, 345)

C. British Literature: Romantic andVictorian (ENLT 236, 237, 242, 347,HUM 286)

D. American Literature to 1865 (ENLT212, 230, 243, 350, 351)

E. Modern British Literature (ENLT 239,244, 361)

F. American Literature, 1865 to the Present(ENLT 245, 353, 355, 455)

In addition, of the twelve courses beyondENLT 140 or the equivalent, at least onemust be at the 300 level, at least one must bea 400-level senior seminar, at least one moremust be at the 300 or 400 level, and at leastone must be designated Theory Intensive:ENLT 225, 228, 341, 345, 443, 462. Stu-dents may place Theatre and/or Writingcourses in either the English major or thecognate area, but no course can be countedfor both the major and the cognate.

Although the English department stronglyrecommends ENLT 140 as the initial coursein the major, any ENLT course numberedfrom 120 to 179 may serve as an equivalentand be substituted both in the major and as aprerequisite for more advanced course work.

A total of no more than two courses with anumber between 120 and 179 can be countedtoward the major.

Theatre TrackCompletion of this track will be noted on

the English major’s transcript. The studentmust complete a minimum of five courses (15credits) toward the track. Courses countedtoward the track include any course designatedwith the THTR prefix; WRTG 215, 217, 315;and ENLT 211, 220, 295, 340, 341, 345, 355.

Writing TrackCompletion of this track will be noted on

the English major’s transcript. The studentmust complete a minimum of five courses (15credits) designated with the WRTG prefixand numbered at the 200 level or above. Ofthese five courses, at least one must be in Cre-ative Writing (WRTG 213, 214, 215, 216,217, 313, 314, 315, 316), and at least onemust be in Applied Writing (WRTG 210,211, 212).

Theatre MajorAs a major existing within the English

Department, Theatre offers a broad-based lib-eral arts degree for the theatre generalist. TheTheatre major prepares the student for fur-ther, more focused training in the theatricalarts through a wide variety of courses in per-formance arts, technical theatre, design arts,directing, theatre history, playwriting and dra-matic literature. Students may focus their pro-grams of study to some degree toward specificinterests in these areas of theatre through theuse of electives within the major.

Theatre majors are strongly encouraged tocomplete either a minor (perhaps in Englishor Writing) or a second major (perhaps inEnglish). Other combinations are possible.

Theatre majors are required to participatein University Players productions; Theatreminors are strongly encouraged to do so. Allstudents with an interest in theatre, whatevertheir major, are invited to participate in Uni-versity Players productions. (See also “The-atre” under Extracurricular Activities.)

Students majoring in Theatre are requiredto take three introductory courses in Theatre,Acting, and Technical Theatre (THTR 110,111, 112), two Theatre History courses(THTR 211, 212), Design for the Theatre


(THTR 213), Directing I (THTR 311), and5 credits of Production Laboratory (THTR280, 380). Four elective courses in Theatreround out the major. Introduction to Drama(ENLT 122), and at least one other course inDramatic Literature are required in the stu-dent’s cognate area. Courses which wouldsatisfy the Dramatic Literature requirementinclude ENLT 211, 220, 295, 340, 341, 345,355, 461.

Minors within the English Department

The Bachelor of Arts program in ClassicalLanguages gives students a solid foundationin Latin and Greek to engender an apprecia-tion of the liberal aspects of Classical studies.Classics majors are encouraged to take theirjunior year abroad at Loyola University’sRome Center of Liberal Arts, with which TheUniversity of Scranton is affiliated.

Foreign Language majors and students pur-suing teaching certification must complete 36credits in one language beginning with theintermediate level if it is modern, and the ele-mentary level if it is classical. Modern Languagemajors normally take at least 12 credits in a sec-ond language, either modern or classical, astheir cognate. A double major may be pursuedby taking 36 credits in one language, beginningwith the intermediate or elementary level, andby satisfying the major and cognate require-ments of another department. The placementof students at a particular foreign-language levelis the responsibility of the department.

The department urges students to studyabroad during their junior year. In addition, itstrongly recommends that students returningfrom the foreign study experience take at leastone course per semester in their major lan-guage during the senior year. All returning

students are required to take at least one 400-level course in their major language at TheUniversity of Scranton.

Major in International Language-Business

The major in International Language-Business is a professionally oriented program.Its purpose is to make language study a morecareer-structured discipline by providing stu-dents with the opportunity to acquire a liberaleducation while, at the same time, takingcourses specifically relevant to a businessenterprise.

In order to bridge the communication gapbetween multinational businesses and the lackof functional language skills often exhibitedby the personnel representing them, special-ized language courses focusing on the businessterminology and cultural setting of the coun-tries in question complement the regular lan-guage and business courses in this major.

The department urges students to studyabroad during their junior year. In addition, itstrongly recommends that students who spendthe entire junior year abroad plan their studiescarefully, so that they will be able to take atleast one course per semester in their majorlanguage during the senior year. Students whopursue a business internship will earn credits inaddition to the 130 credits stipulated for theprogram, unless there is room in the free area.

OverviewThe Mathematics program balances algebra

vs. analysis in its basic courses and pure vs.applied mathematics (including probabilityand statistics) in its advanced courses. Sup-porting courses balance traditional physicswith contemporary computer science. Gradu-ates have great flexibility: some continuestudy in mathematics or related fields, someteach, some become actuaries and some workin jobs which vary from programming tomanagement. A student chapter of the Math-ematical Association of America encouragesearly professionalism.

Minor in MathematicsThe Mathematics minor must include

MATH 114, 221, 222, and 351 and twoadditional electives chosen from Mathematicscourses numbered over 300 or PHYS 350.

BiomathematicsThe Biomathematics major leads to

employment or graduate study ranging frombiostatistics through public health to medi-cine. The major contains four tracks: Epi-demiology, Molecular Biology, Physiology, or

Population Biology. Students interested inmedical school should alter the standardschedule so that General Biochemistry can beelected in the third year. This may be done byattending summer sessions, by using AP cred-its, or – when approved by an academic advi-sor – by shifting General and AnalyticalChemistry to the first year and OrganicChemistry to the second year.

MEDIA ANDINFORMATIONTECHNOLOGY

Matthew M. Reavy, Ph.D., DirectorSee Communication for faculty listing.

OverviewElectronic communication has significantly

changed the world in many ways. Virtually allaspects of communication within and betweeninstitutions and corporations are affected bythe need to provide information in multiplemedia. As the fields of computers and com-munication have come together, they have cre-ated the need for a new type of educationalpreparation. No longer do we look only toprint documents and to oral presentations asthe way to convey information. Rather, thereis a great need for people who are knowledge-able in both the technical aspects and thecommunication aspects of this new paradigm.

Our program builds on the strengths ofseveral departments at the University to produce a program that has strength in all itsparts. Starting with Physics/Electrical Engi-neering to provide a careful look at the sci-ence of communication, we add the supportof the Computing Sciences to provide pro-gramming tools and network expertise. To thestudent’s understanding of the science and thelanguages of computers, we add the practicaland theoretical skills of the CommunicationDepartment to produce effective multimediaspecialists. The student may add additionalwriting courses from the English Department.In addition to courses in the major, the stu-dent will develop a content area in anotherdiscipline and will be required to produce amajor project in this area. This culminatingproject will demonstrate practical experienceas well as theoretical knowledge.

MILITARY SCIENCE/ARMY RESERVEOFFICER TRAININGCORPS (ROTC)

LTC Mark Carmody, Program Director

OverviewThe University of Scranton’s Military Science

Department, also known as the Royal WarriorBattalion, was named the top officer-producingprogram in the Second Brigade and was docu-mented in the top 10% of 105 programs inthe First ROTC Region (East Coast) for2002. It was also selected as “Best Unit” for1999 in the First ROTC Region, and thedepartment established itself in the top 10%of all 270 ROTC programs in 1998.

The Royal Warrior Battalion has a flexibleROTC program that can be tailored to moststudents’ needs, and classes are offered oncampus. Two- and four-year programs areavailable, both of which lead to a commissionas an officer in the United States Army (afterpassing a medical examination). Most stu-dents take one course per semester of thebasic course program (freshman and sopho-more years), and one course per semester ofthe advanced courses (junior and senior years).

The Royal Warrior Battalion enjoys out-standing results in awarding scholarships. Infact, all qualified applicants from 1998 to 2002who applied for a two-, three- or four-yearcampus-based scholarship were offered thatscholarship. As of the spring 2003 semester,162 students were enrolled in the Royal War-rior Battalion, with 86 scholarship recipients.

Advanced ROTC CourseJuniors, seniors and graduate students qual-

ify for entry into the Advanced ROTC coursein three ways:

1. On-campus courses: Most students takethe introductory Military Sciencecourses of the basic Military Science pro-gram on campus during their freshmanand sophomore years. This allows themto participate in adventure training, andto learn about the opportunities andresponsibilities of being an Army officerwithout incurring any obligation.

2. Summer programs: Students may alsoqualify through a paid, five-week Leader-ship Training Course (LTC) summertraining session held in Fort Knox, Ken-tucky, which provides military trainingequivalent to the instruction received byfreshmen and sophomores in the basiccourse program.

3. Advanced Placement: Students with anyprior military service, members of theUnited States Army Reserves or NationalGuard, or former Junior ROTC mem-bers may qualify for advanced placementinto the Advanced ROTC program.

Two-Year ProgramAvailable to qualified full-time students

(generally having a minimum of two aca-demic years remaining to degree completion)who meet the criteria set forth in paragraphs(2) or (3) above. Application for this programshould be made prior to the end of the springsemester of the sophomore year for those stu-dents not previously enrolled in Military Sci-ence instruction. Also available for graduatestudents.

Four-Year ProgramConsists of attending the freshman and

sophomore courses; students can begin as lateas the fall semester of their sophomore year ifapproved by the department chair. Enroll-ment in the first four courses of Military Sci-ence is accomplished in the same manner asany other college course and carries no mili-tary obligation for non-scholarship students.Application to enroll in the advanced MilitaryScience courses should be made while the stu-dent is enrolled in Military Science 202.

Each contracted student is required tocomplete the National Advanced LeadershipCourse (NALC), a paid, five-week trainingcourse held during the summer monthsbetween a students junior and senior year atFort Lewis, near Seattle, Washington. Trans-portation, food, lodging, medical and dentalcare is provided at no cost to the student.

ScholarshipsThere are significant scholarship opportuni-

ties for ROTC students. Scholarships pay annu-ally up to $17,000 for tuition, $600 for books,and $2,500-$4,000 stipend (paid monthly).The stipend pays $250 monthly (August toMay) for freshmen and up to $400 monthly for

College of Arts and Sciences • Military Science 173

seniors. Freshmen and sophomores can applyfor three- and two-year full scholarships inDecember. Historically, most University ofScranton students win scholarships by theirjunior year. Winners of full, high school level,ROTC scholarships are provided free room andboard by The University of Scranton.

Partner in Nursing Education (PNE)In 1996, the Army designated The Univer-

sity of Scranton as a PNE and sends five high-school-level Army ROTC Nursing Scholarshiprecipients to Scranton each year. Additionally,Nursing students who complete the ArmyNurse Summer Training Program (NSTP)receive 3 credits towards NURS 482 lab.

Transcript CreditUp to 15 Military Science credits can be

counted on the transcript. Additionally, Physi-cal Fitness Training (PHED 138) can countfor the 3 required Physical Education creditsand nurses receive 3 credits toward senior-yearclinicals for Army NSTP. Candidates for anArmy commission through Military Scienceare required by regulation to complete aca-demic courses in the areas of communicationsskills, military history, and computer literacy.Generally, these requirements will be met bysatisfying the University's general-educationrequirements. Contact the professor of Mili-tary Science for specific requirements.

Minor in LeadershipAmerican Military Leadership emphasizes

total competence in one's field, coupled withan absolute respect for ethics. It is based onthe knowledge of people, history, and currentmanagement practices. The Military ScienceDepartment offers a minor in Leadership thatcapitalizes on the classroom instructionoffered in the courses listed below providedby several University departments. The minoralso offers unique field experiences for stu-dents to practice leadership skills in demand-ing but safe and controlled training activities.The minor is open to all University studentsin the advanced military science courses.

A minor in Leadership requires 18 credits,at least six of which must be approved elec-tives outside of the Military Science depart-ment. The student must take MS 301, MS302, MS 401, and MS 402, plus courses fromthe list of approved electives. They must alsocomplete a University internship approved by

the instructor of record, the Professor of Mili-tary Science. The student may choose twoelectives from the following approved courses:

OverviewThe Department of Physics and Electrical

Engineering offers majors in Physics and Bio-physics, as well as the Electrical Engineering,Computer Engineering and Electronics-Busi-ness majors described earlier. The objectivesof the department are to provide skills, under-standing, and the methodology required toinitiate active participation in the develop-ment of new knowledge about the materialuniverse. The approach of the physicist, based

as it is on the analysis of mathematical modelsdealing with matter and energy and theirinteractions, supplies a unique and importantinsight to the solution of problems in manydisciplines.

A 1988 study by the Office of InstitutionalResearch at Franklin and Marshall Collegeshows that over 66 years, The University ofScranton ranked 33rd out of 977 four-year,private, primarily undergraduate institutionsas the baccalaureate origin of physics doctor-ates. In addition, the Biophysics concentra-tion in recent years has regularly producedstudents admitted to medical school.

OverviewAs “faith seeking understanding,” theology

plays an essential role in the quest for God,wisdom, and human fulfillment. Catholiceducation recognizes that theology addressescertain basic human questions in ways thatspeak to the heart and mind as no other disci-pline can. Theology approaches such questionsnot in isolation, but as a partner in a livingexchange between the Church and the diversetraditions of the world. Theology/ReligiousStudies courses seek to form conscience andcharacter, helping our students address con-temporary questions of good and evil, freedomand truth, life and death. In addition tocourses with a primarily Christian focus, thedepartment offers courses in non-Christianreligious traditions.

The minor consists of fourrequired courses (ACC 251-252 or ACC 253-254, ACC 361 and ACC 363), plus two elec-tive courses (any 300- or 400-level accountingcourses). Therefore, business students (andother students who are required to take twosemesters of sophomore-level accounting) cancomplete the minor by taking four additionalaccounting courses beyond the two account-ing courses that are required of their major.Other students can complete the minor bytaking no more than six accounting courses.Interested students should contact their advi-sors in the KSOM Advising Center.

ACCOUNTINGINFORMATION SYSTEMS

Michael O. Mensah, Ph.D., Chair,Accounting Department

See Accounting for faculty listing.

OverviewThe explosion of electronic commerce, the

use of enterprise systems, the growth of globalalliances and information sharing, and otherinformation technology-driven developmentshave expanded the variety of opportunitiesavailable to professionals with a strong andintegrated knowledge of accounting principles(the “language of business”) and the evolvinginformation technologies needed to imple-ment and manage accounting informationsystems (AIS). AIS professionals provide valueto their organizations or clients by using theirskills to help generate reliable, timely, and rel-evant decision-making information for theuse of managers and other stakeholders. Theseprofessionals assist their organizations orclients in assessing the opportunities and risksassociated with specific information technol-ogy deployments. They also oversee theimplementation and management of account-ing systems within their organizations. In theassurance sector, AIS professionals often func-tion as information systems auditors. Theyprovide accounting, technology, and otherskills to support traditional as well as paper-less audits. They are often called upon toassist in special investigations such as fraudaudits and forensic accounting.

The objective of the AIS major is to pre-pare students to function in the corporate,public accounting, and non-profit sectors asentry-level accounting systems professionals.Students can select electives for either anaccounting information systems auditing or ageneral information systems managementemphasis. AIS majors are encouraged to pur-sue professional certifications such as the Cer-tified Information Systems Security Profes-sional (CISSP), the Certified InformationSystems Auditor (CISA), and the CertifiedInternal Auditor (CIA). In addition, studentsmay also plan to become Certified PublicAccountants (CPA) or Certified Fraud Exam-iners (CFE). The AIS major is a four-year

216 Kania School • Accounting Information Systems

undergraduate program. However, studentsmay use the combined BS/MBA program atthe University to meet the 150 hour require-ment for CPA certification as needed. Quali-fied students have opportunities for on-the-job training through our internship program.

THE PANUSKA COLLEGEOF PROFESSIONAL STUDIES

�

The Panuska College of Professional Studies prepares students in awide range of professions, principally in allied health and education. TheCollege has been designed with the conviction that all disciplines shouldbe taught and understood through a balance of theory and practice. Anexclusively theoretical understanding of a discipline is incomplete.Practice for which there is no understood context is of limited value. It isthis belief that structures the College’s pedagogy and curriculum. PanuskaCollege students receive exemplary preparation for the profession of theirchoice, and a solid education in the liberal arts and sciences. In addition,students perform community service annually as a requirement for grad-uation. In this way, the service aspects of their prospective careers can beunderstood in personal and comprehensible terms. Such an ethic hasroots in antiquity, is Catholic and Jesuit in tradition and spirit, andresponsive to contemporary needs. All of the College’s programs areaccredited by the appropriate professional organizations.

FacultyGary N. Wodder, Ph.D., ChairRobert M. Bessoir, M.Ed.Ronald W. Deitrick, Ph.D., Program Director

of Exercise ScienceCurt Dixon, Ph.D.David A. Hair, M.Ed.John S. Hopkins, M.S.Stephen L. Klingman, M.S.John B. Robertson, M.A.J. Michael Strong, M.S.

OverviewThe Department of Exercise Science and

Sport consists of three areas: a major in Exer-cise Science, a minor in Coaching and physi-cal education activity classes.

Exercise Science MajorExercise Science is the study of human

movement as related to exercise, sport, andphysical activity. It is dedicated to promotingand integrating scientific research and educa-tion on the effects and benefits of exercise,and to the delivery of physical-activity pro-grams that prevent disease, facilitate rehabili-tation, promote health, and enhance humanperformance. Exercise Science is part of thefield of Sports Medicine which also includesclinical areas of study. The scientific aspects ofSports Medicine include exercise physiology,biochemistry of exercise, and biomechanics.Testing of maximal oxygen consumption andlactic acid metabolism, analysis of musclefatigue, research on muscle hypertrophy andbone density, measurement of body composi-tion, and benefits of exercise in cardiovasculardisease, diabetes and weight control are a fewof the many contributions made by exercisescientists to Sports Medicine.

Few academic program majors offer suchdiverse opportunities after graduation as Exer-cise Science. The academically rigorous cur-riculum prepares graduates with knowledgeand experience for employment opportunitiesin a variety of settings. In the applied healtharea, careers in corporate and community/hospital-based wellness programs, cardiopul-monary rehabilitation, and research centers

investigating the benefits of exercise in spinal-cord injury are possibilities. Sports physiolo-gist and strength and conditioning specialistsfor sports teams are also career options.

Exercise Science is an excellent option forstudents interested in applying to graduatehealth-profession programs such as osteo-pathic medicine, physical therapy, physicianassistant, and clinical exercise physiology.Additional required course work to meetentry requirements can be chosen as electives.In this regard, students should make theircareer intentions known early in their pro-gram of study. Opportunities for graduatestudy are available in academic units of medi-cine, biology, physiology, and exercise science.Although not required, completion of theprogram provides students with the ability totake different certification exams offered byseveral professional organizations includingthe American College of Sports Medicine.

In order to graduate, Exercise Sciencemajors must maintain an overall 2.5 GPA inmajor courses and an overall GPA of 2.0 incognate courses. Students receiving a gradeless than C- in any major or cognate coursemust repeat the course and earn a C- or bettergrade in that course. Completion of the serv-ice-learning requirements (20 hours per aca-demic year) of the College of ProfessionalStudies is also a requirement for graduation.

Coaching MinorThe 17-credit Coaching minor is based on

the American Sport Education Program(ASEP) and will help meet the needs of thosewho wish to coach and work more effectivelywith young athletes from youth throughinterscholastic sports.

The course Introduction to PHED 160:Coaching (1 cr.), is a suggested prerequisitefor the 3-credit courses.

Physical EducationThe Physical Education program seeks to

improve the physical-fitness levels of each stu-dent, introduce new activities, or improve andincrease students’ recreational skills throughour offerings of over 30 different courses.Emphasis is placed on instruction in a varietyof popular sports and recreational activities,especially those with carry-over value for post-college years.

Every regularly enrolled student must satisfythe 3-credit Physical Education requirementunless excused by the Department. It is possi-ble to be excused from Physical Educationclasses by application to the Department if (a)a physician certifies that a student, for med-ical reasons, should not engage in vigorousphysical activity; (b) the Department deems itadvisable; (c) the student is a veteran. Gradingis (S) Satisfactory or (U) Unsatisfactory.

There are a variety of formats for the Physi-cal Education classes: one-half semester for .5credit, three times per week for 1 credit, twotimes per week for 1 credit, and one time perweek for 1 credit. Students may select fromamong the following: tennis, yoga, skiing,soccer, racquetball, weight training, aerobics,hapkido, volleyball, running, karate, self-defense for women, advanced life-saving,water-safety instructor, jazz dance, golf, tai chi,badminton, wellness, latin and swing dance,cardio fitness, beginning/intermediate swim-ming, fitness swimming, first aid/CPR/AED,karate, wellness, white water rafting and judo.

OverviewThe University offers a five-year, entry-level

Master of Science degree program in Occupa-tional Therapy (OT). Students usually enterthis program as freshmen, proceed throughfour years of undergraduate study, receive aBachelor of Science degree in Health Sciences,and are awarded the M.S. in OT degree uponcompletion of graduate requirements. Thecourse work is sequenced in a planned pro-gression in order to build upon and developknowledge and skills at increasing levels ofcomplexity, competence, and integration.Therefore, all required courses are to be com-pleted in sequence. A minimum grade of C(2.00) must be attained in every undergradu-ate cognate and OT course.

A minimum, overall, undergraduate GPAof 2.75 is required in order to advance into

284 Panuska College • Occupational Therapy

graduate study; a minimum, overall GPA of3.00 must be achieved and maintained for allgraduate courses. Required OT Level IIInternships are graded on a Credit/No Creditbasis. The normal length of time for comple-tion of the program is five and one-quarteryears. All OT students must complete Level IIFieldwork within 24 months following com-pletion of the academic portion of the pro-gram. Students will receive the M.S. in OTdegree following completion of all academicand clinical requirements.

Admission to the program is normally opento first-time incoming freshmen; transfer stu-dents are considered for admission on anindividual basis. Applicants are selected on acompetitive basis, with emphasis placed onhigh school record, standardized test scores,extracurricular activities, and letters of recom-mendation. It is suggested that prospectivestudents observe and/or volunteer in an occu-pational therapy setting. The AdmissionsOffice will request this information prior toregistration. Since the majority of course workis at the undergraduate level, the OT programis described in detail in the University’s under-graduate catalog rather than in the graduatecatalog. Inquiries about admission to the B.S.to M.S. in OT program should be directed tothe Graduate Office at (570) 941-7600.

Capstone ExperienceEach student is required to propose and exe-

cute a graduate master’s-level research projectthat culminates in a thesis. This process beginsin the first semester senior year with OT 493:Research Methods. The second semester ofsenior year is when students will make applica-tion to either the Department Review Board(DRB) and/or the Institutional Review Board(IRB). The thesis is written and publiclydefended during the graduate year. Six creditsare awarded for the thesis in a two-semestercourse sequence, OT 593 and OT 594.

AccreditationThe Occupational Therapy Program is

accredited by the Accreditation Council forOccupational Therapy Education (ACOTE)of the American Occupational Therapy Asso-ciation (AOTA), located at 4720 Mont-gomery Lane, P.O. Box 31220, Bethesda,MD 20824-1220. AOTA’s phone number is

(301) 652-AOTA. Graduates of the programwho have completed all academic and field-work requirements are able to sit for thenational certification examination for theoccupational therapist administered by theNational Board for Certification in Occupa-tional Therapy (NBCOT). After successfulcompletion of this examination, the individ-ual is an Occupational Therapist, Registered(OTR). Candidates will need to provide doc-umentation of all graduation and credentialingrequirements, including certification/licen-sure. A felony conviction may affect a gradu-ate’s ability to sit for the certification exami-nation or attain state licensure. Most statesrequire licensure in order to practice; however,state licenses are usually based on the resultsof the NBCOT Certification Examination.
