GOALS FOR LYCOMING
Lycoming enjoys a continuing and mutually supportive relationship with The United Methodist Church. It has consistently supported the Methodist tradition of providing educational opportunities for persons of all religious faiths. Within this setting of religious concern, the search for values must continue to be an important function of this institution.
THE PRINCIPAL AIM OF THE COLLEGE
The principal aim of Lycoming College is to use its resources to provide for its students the finest undergraduate educational opportunity attainable. The College serves primarily to help each student develop a central core of values, awarenesses, strategies, skills, and information that is integrated and coherent enough to lead to a productive and fulfilling life in an enormously complex world, and at the same time is sufficiently open and flexible to encourage continuous growth and development.
4 1 THIS IS LYCOMING
HISTORY
Founded in 1 81 2 as Williamsport Academy, it is the oldest educational institution in the city of Williamsport. At first, the Academy served only the young through what are now recognized as the elementary grades. With the advent of public schools in the city, the Academy expanded its curricular offerings to include high school and college preparatory work.
In 1 848, under the patronage of The Methodist Episcopal Church, the Academy became Williamsport Dickinson Seminary. The Seminary continued as a private boarding school until 1929 when once again its offerings were expanded, this time to include two years of college work. This expansion resulted in change of the institution's name to Williamsport Dickinson Seminary and Junior College. During its years as a junior college under President John W. Long, the institution forged a strong academic reputation, strengthened its faculty, and expanded its physical plant.
Increasing national demands for higher education following World War II prompted another significant step in the growth of the institution. In 1948, the junior college became Lycoming College, a four-year degree-granting college of liberal arts and sciences.
The College has enjoyed the support and stabilizing influence of The United Methodist Church for more than a century. During most of that period the corporate stock of this institution was owned by the Preachers' Aid Society of the Central Pennsylvania Conference. In 1970 all corporate stock was trans- ferred to a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees of Lycoming College.
Lycoming is approved to grant baccalaureate degrees by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. The College is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the University Senate of The United Methodist Church. It is a member of the National Commission on Accrediting, the Association of American Colleges, the Pennsylvania Associa- tion of Colleges and Universities, the Commission for Independent Colleges and Universities, and the National Association of Schools and Colleges of The United Methodist Church.
The name Lycoming is derived from an Indian word "lacomic" meaning "Great Stream". It is a name that has been common to north central Pennsylvania since colonial times.
ADMISSIONS
ADMISSION POLICY
Selective admission is based on academic achievement reflected in high school records, class rank, and ACT or SAT scores. In addition, subjects studied, counselor and teacher recommendations, and other available informa- tion that might identify qualified candidates are considered.
ADMISSION STANDARDS
1. You should graduate from an approved secondary school or fulfill the requirements for early admission.
2. Although a set pattern of high school subjects is not required, a strong program of academic subjects is recommended as the most desirable preparation for college. You should have a minimum of fifteen academic units with substantial work in the areas of English and mathematics, and additional work in foreign language, social studies, and science.
3. The College Board Scholastic Aptitude Test or American College Test is required. Your scores are considered with other academic information.
SELECTION PROCESS
You should file your application between October 1st and May 1st. However, your application may be considered after May 1st, if space is available.
Candidates for admission are considered on an individual basis and in a personal way. Although emphasis is placed on test scores, class rank and other statistical information, much time is devoted to reading your application. Transcripts are also evaluated and phone calls and letters are sometimes exchanged in an effort to determine your special talents and qualities.
The College notifies applicants of acceptance on a rolling schedule. Your notification letter will be sent soon after your credentials have been received. In some instances, it may be necessary to request your senior mid-year grades and senior ACT or SAT score reports. Your decision to attend Lycoming must be made on or before the Candidate's Reply Date of May 1st. The College should be notified by payment of a $1 00.00 Deposit. After May 1 st, this deposit is non-refundable to students who fail to matriculate. For enrolling students, this is not an extra charge, but it is used to reserve a space at the College for the fall and each succeeding semester for which the student is eligible to return. It will be applied toward the charges of the last semester in attendance, normally the semester prior to graduation. When a student decides to withdraw from Lycoming prior to graduation, this fee will be refunded when a written request is made to the Registrar before the end of the eighth week of the student's last semester.
6 / ADMISSIONS
APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. To apply for admission, request forms from the Director of Admissions.
2. These items must be submitted before you are considered for admission:
A. Completed application for admission and secondary school transcript.
B. Fee of $15, which is a processing charge and is not refundable.
C. Results from the American College Testing Program or the Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College Entrance Examination Board.
3. You and your family are invited to visit the campus and to meet with a representative of the Admissions Office. You will have an opportunity to review your credential file, to discuss your plans, and to ask and answer questions.
MEDICAL HISTORY AND PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
Each student entering the college is required to submit a medical history record and a physical examination form prior to arriving on the campus. A parent or guardian of each student under twenty-one years of age must sign the health record which authorizes the college health authorities to give emergency medical treatment according to good medical practice. In the event an operation or other treatment is required for a serious accident or illness, the College Physician will always secure prior parental consent if the circumstances permit.
ADMISSIONS I 7
COURSE CREDIT BY EXAMINATION
Advanced Placement
If you are entering as a freshman, have studied an advanced course while in secondary school, and have taken the appropriate advanced placement examination of the College Entrance Examination Board, you are encouraged to apply for credit and advanced placement. A grade of three or above is generally considered to be satisfactory.
College Level Examination Program — (CLEP)
You may earn college credit for superior achievement on the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) sponsored by the College Entrance Examination Board. By achieving at the 75th percentile or above on the General Examina- tions and the 65th percentile or above on the Subject Examinations, you may earn up to fifty percent of the course requirements for a bachelor of arts degree. These examinations are administered the third week of each month at regional testing locations around the nation. Further information may be obtained from the Office of Admissions. While these examinations may be taken after enrollment at the College, entering freshmen are encouraged to take the examinations of their choice during the second semester of their senior year in high school. If you do so, the College will have the test scores prior to your registration. This will assure appropriate course credit prior to your selection of freshman courses.
ADVANCED STANDING BY TRANSFER
Lycoming College recognizes college level course work you have completed at other institutions. You must submit official copies of transcripts from all institutions you have attended. Your academic standing will be based on an evaluation of all courses taken. All courses passed, which are comparable to the curriculum at Lycoming, will be accepted for transfer. However, the final eight courses must be taken at Lycoming College. You must be in good academic standing with a minimum grade point average of 2.0 (C) to be considered for admission.
EARLY ADMISSION
A number of high schools have accelerated and enriched their programs to the degree that the advanced students may be intellectually and emotionally ready for the collegiate experience by the close of the junior year in high school. Lycoming College is willing to consider and admit these students to the freshman class each year.
EARLY ADMISSION PROCEDURE
1. Your high school counselor recommends you for early admission.
2. Your parents approve the advancement as preferable to the senior year at the high school.
3. After consultation between you, your parents, your school administrators, and College personnel, you complete the regular application procedure.
4. You are admitted with full freshman standing. At the successful completion of your freshman year, your high school receives a grade report from the College. The high school then usually awards its standard diploma.

ORIENTATION
The orientation program at Lycoming is designed to help the student entering college for the first time to start this new adventure under the most favorable circumstances. An entirely new concept of courses, class scheduling, and methods of instruction must be assimilated. Adjustments to this new experience are important.
In order to prepare you for the beginning of this experience, Lycoming schedules four to six orientation sessions lasting two and one half days during the summer. Each new student is required to attend one of these sessions accompanied by at least one parent.
The summer program makes it possible to schedule ample time for academic advisement, placement testing, library orientation, and registration. The college is able to work more satisfactorily with you in planning programs of study tailored to your vocational and academic interests. You complete all preliminaries, including registration, during the summer orientation period. Textbooks are available for purchase and perusal prior to the opening of classes in the fall.
Information about the dates of orientation sessions and a pre-registration form will be mailed to you when you have confirmed your admission to Lycoming College.
In addition to the required orientation program, an extended five-day voluntary orientation experience is provided during the summer. These five-day sessions are an abbreviated adaptation of the Outward Bound program.
Groups of ten students, each under the leadership of two qualified instructors, learn to appreciate and extend their ability to accomplish personal and group objectives, and increase their own sense of self-esteem. The sessions take place in the wild country of North Central Pennsylvania, within a radius of 50 miles of Williamsport.
Information regarding Explo 76 will be mailed to you along with the regular Orientation material.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
EXPENSES
Lycoming recognizes the problem of constantly increasing educational costs and offers a substantial program of financial aid to assist those needing help to attend an excellent private coeducational college.
If you are academically qualified you should not hesitate to apply to Lycoming College solely because of financial need. At Lycoming, we make every effort to assure that qualified students are not barred due to their limited resources.
The expenses listed below have been kept as low as possible through regular voluntary contributions from alumni and friends plus income from invested endowment funds. This gift income has permitted Lycoming to develop a well- qualified academic community and to continually improve its excellent facilities.
Thus at Lycoming you will receive much more than any fees you pay would buy — a rare bargain in today's economy. And if our "bargain" price is still beyond your means, our financial aid office will assist you as much as possible, as outlined beginning on page 15.
GENERAL EXPENSES FOR THE ACADEMIC YEAR 1976-1977
The Comprehensive Fee at Lycoming is $1,275.00 per semester, plus special charges which are listed on the following pages. A residence hall room costs $300.00 per semester.

However, when such permission is granted, the room cost will be 50% higher. If you request the use of a double room as a single room, an available room costs 50% more than its regular rate.
The comprehensive fee covers the regular load of three or four unit courses each semester. If there should be a considerable increase in the price of commodities and /or services during any semester, the College reserves the right to make appropriate increases in the charges for the following semester. Additional detailed information will be furnished by the Treasurer's Office upon request.

Dropping a unit course from the original schedule after the first week of either semester will not justify any claim for refund of tuition charges. No refund will be made to those students who are asked to withdraw from the college. Special charges cannot be refunded for any reason whatever.
PENALTY FOR NON-PAYMENT OF FEES

FINANCIAL AID
In considering the financing of your college education both the expenses involved and the various methods of meeting them should be considered simultaneously. At Lycoming, if you need financial aid, a generous program of assistance can help to lower your out-of-pocket cost significantly.
Since you will be the primary beneficiary of your higher education, we feel you should assume part of the responsibility for paying your college expenses. You can do this by saving, working, and borrowing. We expect you to make every effort to obtain financial support from such outside sources as state and local grants, company scholarships for employee's children, and other funds you may be eligible to receive.
A student's parents are often an important source of financial help. Some families of modest means can give only moral support, but most also can give substantial financial help. We are eager to help you and your parents to meet your educational expenses at Lycoming but expect each family to pay as much as it can reasonably afford and at least as much as other families in similar financial circumstances.
The establishment of need is the controlling factor in determining the amount of any financial aid. A scholarship may be awarded on the basis of financial need and academic ability, while a grant is given on the basis of financial need alone. Long term, low cost educational loans are available to most students who need them from Federal and State sources. If your academic standing is satisfactory, a portion of your college expenses can be earned by part-time work.
Financial need is determined by deducting what you and your parents can reasonably contribute toward your education from the actual cost of attending Lycoming College. You are eligible to be considered for financial aid up to the part of the cost which it is impossible for you to provide. Your family's total financial situation is judged. Not only gross income and net assets are considered, but also the number of dependent children, unusual medical expenses, marital status of parents, brothers or sisters attending college, and other pertinent data.
To apply for financial assistance, obtain the "Parents Confidential Statement" form from your high school guidance counselor or the Financial Aid Office at Lycoming. Submit the completed "Parents Confidential Statement" to the College Scholarship Service, P.O. Box 1 76, Princeton, New Jersey 08540, at the earliest convenient date.

These scholarships are only for the student's first year at Lycoming.
GRANTS-IN-AID
For worthy students who can not qualify for scholarships, Lycoming has an extensive program of grants-in-aid up to full tuition.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION/ 17

"What are my interests, abilities and needs? What major should I select? What are the career trends and employment outlooks? What can I do to better prepare for employment in my chosen field?" All freshmen are strongly encouraged to avail themselves of individual counseling with a career counselor. Career planning seminars in value clarification, skill assessment, and decision making are supportive of the freshman program.
In today's labor market, it is imperative that students have the opportunity to explore a variety of career avenues. Lycoming's program encourages such investigation through a comprehensive and up-to-date career library, video- cassette presentations, newsletters, a speaker's program which brings people from various career specialties to the campus weekly to talk with students. First- hand exploration of different occupations and professions is afforded by the SHARE (Students Having A Real Experience) and Internship programs. Participating students observe and work with professional and other specialists on a daily basis for a period of time, giving students a real insight into the problems and solutions that characterize a particular field.
During the student's senior year, the Career Development Center plays an active role in assisting seniors to secure employment or admission to graduate or professional school. Thirty-four placement services are provided to assist seniors in implementing their career plans. The nucleus of the placement service is the individual attention each senior receives from our career counselor, thus insuring the student the opportunity to develop a sound strategy for job hunting.
With greater insight into your academic and career goals, the Career Develop- ment Center is committed to broaden the career opportunities open to you after graduation.
RESIDENCE AND RESIDENCE HALLS
If you are a single student and do not reside at home you are required to live in the college residence halls and eat your meals in the college dining room. Requests for exceptions must be submitted in writing to the Associate Dean of Student Services-Housing.
If you do not have permission to live off-campus, you must sign a room agreement form, agreeing to observe the rules and regulations for resident students. An agreement form will be sent to you following confirmation of your acceptance. Upperclassmen receive the agreements and rules and regulations each Spring.
Because of the inability of the College to predict enrollment by sex, it is necessary to keep assignments of halls as flexible as possible. No hall or unit is specifically assigned to women or men on other than a year to year basis.
28
29
Resident students are responsible for the condition of their room and its furnishings. The College reserves the right to enter and inspect any of its property, or the property of a room resident for reasons of damage, health, safety, or to determine whether violation of its rules or the law are taking place or have occurred. Charges will be assessed for damages to rooms, doors, furniture, and commonly used areas.
Resident students are expected to vacate their rooms during the vacation periods when the halls are closed and not later than twenty-four hours following their last examinations, except for graduating seniors.
Regulations regarding quiet hours for study may be established by the Office of Student Services or appropriate residence hall councils and are published in the Residence Halls Handbook and on the bulletin boards in the halls.
Room visitation by members of the opposite sex is permitted in the halls only under conditions which are established by the College in cooperation with the various residence hall governing groups which share responsibility for regu- lations and are organized each fall before visitation privileges begin.
STANDARDS OF CONDUCT
The College expects all of its students to accept the responsibility required of adults in a free democratic society. The rules and regulations of the College are designed to protect the rights of every member of the community against encroachment by individuals. The limitations which are imposed upon the activities of individuals are established for the common good of the entire college community.
Students who are unable to demonstrate that they can accept this responsibility or are antagonistic to the spirit and general purpose of the College, or fail to abide by the regulations established by the College may be dismissed or requested to leave the College at any time. Further, at the end of any term or semester the College may deny a student the privilege of attending any subsequent term or semester when the administration deems this to be in the best interest of the College. In addition to the regulations published here, specific rules are furnished each student in the Guidepost and the Residence Halls Handbook.
The consumption or possession of alcoholic beverages on campus or at any official college function is prohibited. Detailed information regarding the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are published in the Guidepost.
Lycoming does not condone the illegal use of drugs by its students. A statement of the policy on drugs is published in the Guidepost.
Cheating, lying, and stealing are totally inconsistent with Lycoming standards. Although the acceptance and observance of the standards of behavior expected by the College is an individual responsibility it is a group responsibility as well. It is incumbent on all Lycoming students that they attempt to influence their peers to conduct themselves honorably for the collective good.
It is assumed that a willingness to accept these restrictions is implicit in the acceptance of membership in the Lycoming College community. When you are admitted to Lycoming you will receive a copy of the Guidepost and a copy of the Residence Halls Handbook if you will live in a College residence.
Both documents are important statements of official College policy, rules, and regulations which are part of the contractual agreement which you enter into when you register as a student at Lycoming.

CAMPUS LIFE I 31
RELIGIOUS LIFE
Lycoming College provides you with opportunities to mature in your faith through voluntary participation in the religious life of the campus and the community.
Faculty and students express their religious convictions through membership and participation in nearly thirty Protestant denominations as well as the Roman Catholic and Hebrew faiths. Significant opportunities are offered to every student for the voluntary expression of this religious faith.
A varied religious life program is maintained as needs arise. The College Chapel presents outstanding pulpit voices from off-campus, as well as faculty and staff speakers.
A Roman Catholic chaplain assists in the activities of the Catholic Council of Lycoming College and maintains office hours in Clarke Chapel for counseling purposes. Mass is celebrated on campus each Sunday evening.
Protestants have opportunities to participate in student planned programs and activities through the Campus Church and the Christian Fellowship, as well as in local churches.

THIS IS LYCOMING
Lycoming is a coeducational liberal arts college with a student body of 1,300, approximately 800 men and 500 women. A United Methodist related institution, Lycoming is open to students regardless of their religious, racial, or national backgrounds.
At Lycoming it is believed that a liberal arts education is the best hope for an enlightened citizenry and that vocational and professional specialization must be built on a broad acquaintance with the various disciplines. Programs are arranged within a liberal arts framework so that all students study the humanities, sciences, and social sciences.
Beyond the level of general education, the College stresses the pursuit of a major. This presses you to achieve competency in a more limited area and encourages greater depth and sense of academic achievement. The major relates to increased understanding of yourself and your world; it leads both to graduate school and to vocation. Majors are not confined to single departments of the College; increasingly they are interdepartmental in nature, thus permitting the student a wider range of experience in related fields. A wide variety of individualized opportunities are also available and are described elsewhere in this catalog under "Special Opportunities."
LOCATION
Lycoming College, in scenic North Central Pennsylvania ninety miles north of Harrisburg, is set upon a slight prominence near downtown Williamsport overlooking the beautiful West Branch Valley of the Susquehanna River. Greater Williamsport, with a population of 85,000, is within 200 miles of Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, and Pitts- burgh. It is easily accessible by bus, airline, and automobile. Interstate 80 passes fifteen miles south of Williamsport; U.S. Routes 15 and 220 come through the city.
CAMPUS LIFE
A full program of cultural, professional, athletic, and social activities is an integral part of college life at Lycoming. You can find outlets for your talents, interests, and abilities among the numerous student organizations — fraternities, departmental clubs and honorary societies, student government, publications, and a comprehensive varsity and intramural sports program — each abounding in opportunities for student participation. Student Council, The Campus Church, Student Union Board, and other campus organizations bring in a variety of talent and speakers.

SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES
The changing nature of American education finds greater emphasis than ever before upon the development of significant opportunities for self-fulfillment among students. Pertinent educational goals demand that you should be accorded an opportunity to pursue a program that offers you the best chance to realize your intellectual potential. It is for this reason, that Lycoming has developed a curriculum that allows maximum flexibility in course selection, especially among those courses that support the major as well as those that effectively meet the requirements of the College's objectives in liberal educa- tion. But wide variety in course selection does not always allow as completely individualistic a program as one might wish. Therefore, a variety of special opportunities is provided.
LYCOMING SCHOLAR PROGRAM
The Lycoming Scholar Program offers highly motivated students an opportunity to develop their full potential through a flexible and demanding academic program. Persons with the following qualities would most likely benefit from this unique program:
High intellectual ability initially indicated by a class standing normally in the upper fifteen percent and combined SAT scores of approximately 1150 or higher;
Intellectual curiosity, motivation, imagination, creativity, and a desire for excellence;
Sufficient independence of mind to plan and execute a unique personal academic program which best uses the resources of the College;
Commitment' to the value of intellectual dialogue.
SCHOLAR OPPORTUNITIES
The following opportunities are designed to be helpful to Lycoming Scholars in achieving the stated objective of the program.
The Scholar Council will relax the established distribution requirements while maintaining the breadth of a liberal arts education. The program for the individual Scholar is to be tailored by the Scholar and his academic consultant based upon an assessment of the student's previous attainments and his needs. This is subject to approval by the Lycoming Scholar Council.
Scholars may take a fifth course in any semester, and, unlike other students, Scholars may take an unlimited number of Studies and Honors courses. The present fee to Scholars for the fifth course is $50.00.
Lycoming Scholars — either singly or in groups — are encouraged to petition the Council, in writing, for funds to undertake special educational projects involving extra expenses, such as taking trips or bringing in special speakers. Students

SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES I 39
applying for such funds are expected to make the results of their investigations available to the Scholar community, and, if possible to the college at large.
Due to the composition of the Scholar Council, Scholars have a greater voice in determining the nature of their education than is possible in the college as a whole.
Evidence of participation in the Lycoming Scholar Program will be noted on the Scholar's transcript and diploma. A brief description of the program will be a part of the transcript.
At the request of the Scholar, the Council will endorse, for graduate school and other post-baccalaureate endeavors, those Scholars who have met the objective of the Program.
ADMISSION TO THE PROGRAM
Scholars may be chosen by the Council while in their last year of secondary education, before actual matriculation at Lycoming. Their potential for meeting the objective of the Program will be measured by a variety of means. Among them are interviews with Scholars and faculty members, and written responses to essay questions.
Scholars also may be chosen from the current Lycoming student body after their first year of study. Requirements include: (a) a letter of application, (b) letters of recommendation from two faculty members who are not on the Council, plus optional letters from present Scholars, and (c) an interview with members of the Council. Important factors in granting membership are the student's intellectual motivation, independence, desire to participate, and academic progress to date which is normally indicated by an average of 3.25 for two consecutive semesters. February 1st is designated as the deadline for application.
SCHOLAR RESPONSIBILITIES
During their first year in the Program, all Scholars are on a probationary status. They are required to participate in a First-Year Seminar. Following successful completion of their probationary period, Scholars will be formally admitted to the Program.
Any Scholar may be asked by the Council to leave the Program if he or she is judged not to be making satisfactory progress toward meeting its objective. If the academic average of the Scholar drops below a 3.00, the Council will look into the matter, but lower grades in themselves need not result in dismissal from the Program; of far more interest is the overall quality of the student's work.
During their last year at Lycoming, Scholars are required to participate in a Senior Seminar. In these Seminars each student will report on a Studies or Honors project taken during the Junior or Senior year.
All Scholars will have an academic consultant from the faculty to assist them in utilizing the potentialities of the Program. Together with the consultant, the Scholar must submit a brief plan of study to the Council at each registration period.
Scholars are expected to create academic programs which emphasize depth- of-study in a major area combined with a breadth of inquiry into other areas.
40 1 SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES
Scholars also are expected to participate in the activities of the Program. Achievement of the Scholar Program objective depends upon the continual refinement of a program through faculty-student interaction and dialogue on policies, procedures, and activities. To this end, the Scholar Council, which is charged with administering the program, is composed of four students elected by their peers, four faculty members, and the Dean of the College, all with equal vote.
By presenting this highly flexible curriculum, Lycoming College opens the door to students who are motivated to remain intellectually creative. If you qualify for this special program and wish to be considered, Lycoming invites your inquiry.
PART-TIME STUDENT OPPORTUNITIES
LYCOMING EXPERIMENTAL AUDIT PROGRAM (L.E.A.P.)
As a special service to the community it serves, Lycoming offers any person within commuting distance of the College an opportunity to try higher education at a minimal cost through its Experimental Audit Program. Anyone may take one course on an audit basis (no credit)— free. You can take advantage of this opportunity, once, simply by paying the $15.00 Application Fee, if you have never paid it before. No tuition will be charged; you will be responsible for any special charges such as lab fees, material costs, transportation, etc. when special charges are normally made for the course.
At the registration for any session you may enroll in a particular course and be accepted for that course at the end of the registration period if the class has not been filled.
Currently enrolled students may also take advantage of the Experimental Audit Program, once without charge. The course will not be counted in any way toward graduation requirements, affect any charges due, nor have any bearing on your status as a full or part-time student.
REGULAR AUDIT
Any person may audit a course at Lycoming at one-half the tuition for one part- time course. Any lab fees and other extra costs must be paid. Credit may not be given for an audited course. An experimental or regular audit course can not be converted to a credit course after the drop-add period for the semester the course is taken. No exams or papers are required of students auditing a course, but individual arrangements may be made to participate in these activities with the consent of the instructor.
SPECIAL STUDENT (Part-Time for Credit)
Any person may take up to two courses during any semester (one only in May Term). A part-time special student pays the $1 5.00 Application Fee only the first

time he registers and pays the part-time rate in effect when he takes the course. Three or more courses a semester constitute a full-time schedule and the student must first be accepted by the Admissions Office as a regular student subject to full-time student fees and procedures.
SPECIALLY DESIGNED COURSES
Lycoming is eager to serve the special educational needs which arise in the community. Short courses, institutes, workshops, special semesters, and long- term training programs to fill the specific needs of any interested group can be designed on a credit or non-credit basis. They can be given on or off campus. For more information contact the Dean of the College.
LIFE LONG LEARNING
The program consists of short (5 week) non-credit courses offered throughout the year. The charge is $5.00 per session. 1974-75 courses included: How to Listen to a Symphony, Photography, Investment Fundamentals, Preparation of Federal Personal Income Tax Forms, Astronomy Today, The American Revolu- tion, Inflation.
SPECIAL PROGRAMS
MAY TERM
Each year a unique May Term is designed to offer a challenging array of special courses. Some of the four-week courses offer study and projects on campus; others involve domestic or foreign travel; others offer interdisciplinary credit. Most of the May Term courses are non-traditional in nature and are not offered during the regular academic year.
While the number of courses offered during the May Term may vary somewhat from year to year, the faculty generally offers approximately fifty courses. Illustrations of the types of courses offered during May Term are as follows:
For students wishing to travel abroad, a cultural tour of the Soviet Union has become an annual affair, with stops in Moscow, Leningrad, Novgorod, Kiev, and Budapest, as well as Denmark, Finland and West Germany. London in May has been a popular course, exploring the arts, attending plays and operas, and meeting with actors, directors, and teachers. From time to time, other cultural tours may be arranged, such as tours of Germany, Spain, France, or Ireland. Student demand often determines which cultural tours are offered, since instructors wish to assemble cultural tours based upon student interest.
A number of May Term courses, while not cultural tours, are conducted off- campus. The Department of Biology offers a popular course in Marine Biology and Biological Oceanography based at the Bermuda Biological Station for Research. Other areas or states visited in the past have included the Caribbean area, New Mexico, New York, Vermont, Maine, and Virginia.
SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES / 43
Although student participation in the May Term is voluntary, response has been outstanding, with about 25 to 30 percent of the student body participating. The emphasis is upon learning rather than upon grades. Classes are generally small and very informal, so that students may develop close personal relationships among themselves and between themselves and the instructor. Since the courses are voluntarily scheduled by the student, interest in the subject matter runs high.
One less obvious advantage of scheduling May Term courses lies in the savings in tuition charges. In order to attract students to the program tuition has been reduced about 45 percent. Thus, if a student schedules any combination of four May Term and Summer Session courses, he or she may graduate after seven, rather than eight, full semesters. For the 1975 May Term, tuition was $165 per unit course. Room charges were $55 and board charges were $75. Other expenses, such as travel, books and supplies, will vary from course to course.
STUDENT ENRICHMENT SEMESTER
To expand academic and life opportunities for its students and to increase their chances to participate in specialized programs and courses not available at the home institution, Lycoming is a participant in the Student Enrichment Semester (SES) program. Other members are Bloomsburg, Bucknell, Lock Haven, Mansfield, Susquehanna, and Williamsport Area Community College.
44 1 SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES
In your upperclass years, beyond freshman, you will be able to enroll for credit as a full-time student, normally for one term, at any co-operating institution. Each SES college will stipulate which of its courses and programs will be open to SES students. Lycoming will approve the courses, programs, and credits according to its own policies and procedures.
As an SES student, you will remain fully enrolled in your degree program at Lycoming and will simultaneously enroll, on a full-time basis, at the host institution according to its definition of full-time enrollment. You will be subject to the rules and regulations of the host institution while there. It will extend all opportunities and benefits to you, as an SES student, that it provides for its own students, such as library, housing, meals, cultural activities, student organiza- tions and activities, except where legal constraints provide otherwise. You will not be eligible for financial aid from any host institution.
SES students will pay tuition to Lycoming according to prevailing policies, including charges and deferred payment plans. Applicable non-tuition fees, such as room and board charges and student activities fees, will be paid to the host college.
INDEPENDENT STUDY
Each department granting a major provides opportunity to students to work independently. Upon consent of the department chairman and the instructor, you may register for courses in Independent Study. Normally, the opportunity for such study is provided for the better qualified major student who has successfully completed the courses making up the core of his major program. Except under unusual circumstances, registration for the Studies Course is limited to one unit course during each semester. If you wish to elect more than one unit during a semester or three or more unit courses in Studies in your total college program, approval of the Academic Standing Committee must be secured. If you are privileged to do Independent Study you register for courses 80-89, Studies. An appropriate title is entered in your record.
SEMINAR STUDY
Individual departments may from time to time find it possible to organize small classes or seminars for exceptional students interested in subjects or topics not usually a part of departmental course offerings. Establishment of the seminar and admission of students depends upon the approval of the department involved. Occasionally, Visiting Professors, Lecturers, or Specialists in Resi- dence will offer such seminar studies. Students who are privileged to elect Seminar Study in any department register for courses numbered 70-79, Studies, with an appropriate title to be entered upon the student's permanent record. Enrollment in seminar courses is normally limited to ten students.
DEPARTMENTAL HONORS
If you desire to enter an Honors program and secure departmental approval to apply, a faculty committee shall be convened whose initial responsibility shall be to pass upon your eligibility to enter the program. The committee responsi- bility shall also include the direction of the study, and final evaluation of its worth. Usually the Honors program involves independent study in two consecutive unit
SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES I 45
courses. Students who are privileged to elect Honors register for courses numbered 90-99.
Honors study is expected to result in the completion of a thesis to be defended in a final oral examination. Acceptable theses shall be deposited in the college library. Successful completion of the Honors program will cause the designation of honors in the department to be placed upon the permanent record. In the event that the study is not completed successfully, the student shall be re- registered in Independent Studies and given a final grade for the course.
WASHINGTON NATIONAL SEMESTER
Upon recommendation of the faculty of the Department of Political Science, you may be permitted to attend the American University, Washington, D.C., for a period of one full semester. The Washington Semester program is intended to provide a first-hand acquaintance with various aspects of the nation's capital, as well as an academic experience equivalent to four normal unit courses. This program is open to selected students who have special interests in political science, law and American Government. Ordinarily, only junior students are eligible.
INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
An internship program provides students with an opportunity to enrich their classroom knowledge through professionally related practical experience. An internship allows the student to test his concept and theories in real, hopefully challenging, situations. Placed toward the close of the student's academic career, the internship experience adds a valuable dimension to his formal education while meeting the demand for greater relevancy in higher education.
Any junior or senior student who has declared a major is able to petition his major department for approval to serve as an intern for one or two semesters. A maximum of sixteen credits can be earned. Guidelines for program develop- ment, assignment of tasks, and academic requirements such as exams, papers, reports, grades, etc., are established in consultation with a faculty director at Lycoming and an agency supervisor at the place of internship.
Students with diverse majors have participated in a wide variety of internships including the Allenwood Prison Camp, Community Health Center, County Commissioners Office, Department of Environmental Resources, Headstart, Historical Society, Litton Industries, Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance, and the Williamsport Hospital.
46 /SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES
INTERNATIONAL INTERCULTURAL STUDIES
WASHINGTON INTERNATIONAL SEMESTER
Upon the recommendation of the faculty of the department of political science, you may attend The American University, Washington, D.C. for a period of one full semester. The Washington International Semester is intended to provide a unique academic experience in international affairs within the milieu of a major world capital.
UNITED NATIONS SEMESTER
Upon recommendation of the faculty of the departments of history or political science, you may attend Drew University, Madison, New Jersey, for a period of one full semester. The United Nations Semester is intended to provide a first- hand acquaintance with the United Nations, New York City, as well as an academic experience equivalent to four normal unit courses.

LONDON SEMESTER
Upon recommendation of the faculty of the departments of history or political science, you may attend London University for a period of one semester. This program is operated by Drew University in conjunction with many other American Colleges. It is intended to acquaint the student with the character of one of the principal sources of American law and politics as well as to provide an academic program equivalent to four normal courses. Ordinarily, only junior students are eligible.
OVERSEAS STUDIES OPPORTUNITIES
Under auspices of approved universities or agencies, you have an opportunity to study in a foreign university. While overseas study is particularly attractive to students majoring in foreign languages, this opportunity is open to all students. Mastery of the foreign language is not required in all programs. A file of opportunities for overseas study is available from the reference librarian.
It should be noted that Lycoming College cannot assume responsibility for the health, safety, or welfare of any student while he or she is engaged in or enroute to or from any off-campus studies or activities which are not under the exclusive jurisdiction of this institution.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES 1 47
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
Students who attend a liberal arts institution find numerous career opportunities open to them upon graduation. Although students can seek career employment related to their academic major, the value of a liberal arts education is that students are not restricted to such employment. A liberal arts background gives you the flexibility to pursue various career avenues, as illustrated by the careers entered by a few of our typical recent graduates. An English major secured employment as a housing counselor for the government; a psychology major, as a manager in a retailing business; a biology major, as a food and drug inspector; an accounting major, as a graduate student attending law school; a history major, as a branch manager in a banking firm; a political science major, as a county law enforcement agent; a business major, as a technical assistant in a television station; a theatre major, as a counselor for underprivileged children. In general, a liberal arts education provides a foundation for each student to pursue the type of career which focuses upon his abilities, interests, and aspirations.
Today's employers are seeking college graduates with broad academic backgrounds. The primary characteristics desired by employers are in- telligence, communication skills, leadership ability, community involvement, and career identification. Employers believe such individuals will be better able to handle the various problems they will encounter in today's complex world.
Lycoming College is committed to assist each student to develop a realistic career plan. The Career Development Center is the primary service designed to help students, beginning in their freshman year, to crystallize their future plans. Through career counseling, career workships, career information, and similar vehicles, the Career Development Center strives to help each student.
For further information about the Career Development Center see page 27.

CAREER FIELDS UNLIMITED
Your course of study at Lycoming will help you to gain greater insight into many aspects of your world and simultaneously lay a strong foundation for a career. Innumerable types of positions are open to liberal arts graduates. At Lycoming you have the additional opportunity to explore, from an elementary to an advanced level, various fields that may lead to a vocation or direct you toward professional or graduate schools. A wide variety of vocations may be entered directly upon graduation. These include positions in business, industry, government, and the professions, including teaching. A student interested in any of these areas is referred to his advisor, to the appropriate department, or to a special assigned advisor.
ACCOUNTING
There are many reasons for continued rapid growth of the accounting profession in the foreseeable future. Lycoming offers a rigorous comprehensive program of undergraduate training in accounting leading to the bachelor of arts. The most important aspect of an accountant's service to clients and to the public cannot be defined as knowledge, nor even as experience, but must be described by more elusive terms: wisdom, perception, imagination, circum- spection, judgment, integrity. A liberal arts education followed by training on- the-job offers you the best background for a successful career in accountancy. The academic standards are such as to require you to be proficient in math; have an above-average ability to communicate ideas verbally and in written form; show a potential ability to express and to interpret abstraction; and demonstrate a personality capable of developing qualities of business and community leadership. Interested? Contact the Accounting Department.
BUSINESS
Lycoming offers course work in the field of business administration particularly designed for training prospective business leaders. Business is a highly diversified occupation; therefore the curriculum is not designed to be vocational or narrowly pre-professional. The purposes of the business administration curriculum are to train and equip your mind to recognize and solve complex problems facing business executives, to develop an appreciation for rigorous analysis, to practice the arts of verbal and written communication, and to expose the developing mind to as wide as possible a range of course work represented by the traditional liberal arts curriculum, to the end that you become truly well educated. Considerable flexibility is permissible within the curriculum, and you are encouraged to pursue course work most rewarding to you.
MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
The Medical Technology curriculum is organized around an academic back- ground of basic science courses in addition to those liberal arts courses listed as requirements for the bachelor of arts degree. Preparation at Lycoming for a career in medical technology may be made in either of two ways: the attainment of the B.A. followed by a clinical internship at any accredited hospital, or by completion of the Lycoming Cooperative Program.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES / 49
A student electing to follow the Cooperative Program in Medical Technology will normally spend three years at Lycoming. During this time the student must satisfy the general college distribution requirements, major and ASCP (Ameri- can Society Clinical Pathologists) requirements and must successfully com- plete twenty-four unit courses. The ASCP currently requires four courses in chemistry (one of which must be either organic or biochemistry), four courses in biology (one of which must be microbiology) and a course in mathematics. Three-year students usually major in biology, where they are allowed to follow a modified major of six unit courses which exempts them from two biology core courses, Ecology (Biology 24) and either, but not both, Animal Physiology (Biology 23) or Cell Physiology (Biology 20). Also required as part of the Cooperative Program is the successful completion of a one-year internship at an ASCP accredited hospital. Lycoming College is currently affiliated with the following accredited institutions: Williamsport Hospital, Divine Providence Hospital, Robert Packer Hospital, Lancaster General Hospital, and Abington Hospital. Three-year students will be given Lycoming credit for each of eight unit courses in biology and chemistry taken during the clinical internship. Lycoming does not consider the Registry examination a requirement for graduation.
A student graduating from Lycoming College before entering a one-year hospital internship must satisfy all college, major and ASCP requirements and is not eligible for any course exemptions mentioned above. Once graduated from Lycoming, the student may apply for admission to a clinical program at any hospital.
Those interested in a medical technology career should contact members of the Medical Technology Advisory Committee or the chairman of the Biology Department before finalizing course decisions.
MILITARY SCIENCE
Military Science is a four-year course divided into a basic course given during the Freshman and Sophomore years and an advance course given during the Junior and Senior years. There is also a special program available to selected students who were unable to take the basic course which permits them to enroll in the advanced course after completing a basic summer camp between the Sophomore and Junior years. Students attending the basic summer camp are paid at a rate equivalent to one-half of the basic pay for a Second Lieutenant with under two years of service and they also receive subsistence, housing, uniforms and medical care at government expense. Transportation to and from summer camp is also furnished at government expense.
Students enrolled in the advanced course of Military Science receive a monthly subsistence pay of $100 a month, not to exceed 10 months a year. To successfully complete the advanced course, students must attend an ad- vanced summer camp between their Junior and Senior years. While at summer camp, they are also paid at a rate equivalent to one-half of the basic pay for a Second Lieutenant with under two years of service and they also receive the same benefits mentioned above at government expense.
Students successfully completing the advanced course of Military Science will qualify for a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army upon graduation and will incur a service obligation in the active Army or Army

Reserves. Active duty requirements will vary with the type ot commission accepted.
All books, unitorms, and other military equipment necessary tor instruction in the Military Science Department are furnished without expense to the student other than the deposit referred to under "Required Deposits."
PLANETARIUM EDUCATION
A unique feature of the major in astronomy at Lycoming is that it has been specifically designed to train students in planetarium operation. The sequence of courses in astronomy and physics provides the breadth of knowledge that a planetarium educator needs. In addition, students gain practical experience by serving as lecturers in the College's Detwiler Planetarium. Entering the field of planetarium education is a way for students who are interested in astronomy but who do not plan to go on to graduate school, to establish professional contacts with the community of research astronomers.
Students in other majors (particularly those who are planning on careers in teaching) may wish to acquire some experience in planetarium operation. They can do so by taking the two courses, Principles of Astronomy (Astronomy and Physics 11) and Planetarium Techniques (Astronomy and Physics 30).
For more information, please contact the Department of Astronomy and Physics.
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
If you desire extensive study in biblical history and literature, the historical development of Christianity, and Christian Doctrine, you may major in religion. If you plan to enter the vocation of religious education, you should, besides majoring in religion, elect five or six unit courses in psychology, education, and sociology. This program of study, completely within the liberal arts curriculum, will qualify you for work as an Educational Assistant, or after graduate study in a theological seminary, as a Director of Religious Education. You are invited to contact the Religion Department Chairman for further information on the opportunities, responsibilities, and requirements of these and other church vocations.
TEACHER EDUCATION
Lycoming prepares teachers for elementary and secondary schools. The programs are approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education for the certification of elementary teachers and for secondary teachers in the following areas: biology, chemistry, English, French, general science, German, mathematics, physics, Russian, social science, and Spanish. Pennsylvania certificates are recognized in many other states either through reciprocal agreements or by transcript evaluation.
The excellent facilities of the public schools in Williamsport and the surrounding areas are used by education students for observation, participation ex- periences, and practice teaching.
Lycoming feels that the best preparation for future teachers is based on the liberal arts. Therefore, all education students complete a liberal arts major in addition to the education requirements.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES / 51
Normally, freshmen are not admitted to education courses. All applicants for admission to the Teacher Education Program must register with the Education Office no later than registration for the first semester of the sophomore year. The Committee on Teacher Education evaluates those accepted, at various junctures in their education program, using such guidelines as grade point average, potential, course requirements, and recommendations.
Application for practice teaching must be made before October 1 st of the junior year. Admission to the professional semester is limited and selective. Final approval for student participation in the professional semester is granted by the Teacher Education Committee.
COOPERATIVE PROGRAM IN DRAMA
The American Academy of Dramatic Arts and Lycoming each recognize appropriate courses given by the other institution. Normally, in the case of the transfer student who is a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and recommended by them and who has completed two years successful study at an accredited college or university, the residency requirement is two summers with The Arena Theatre and two consecutive semesters in an academic year. Summer session course work may be required. Each case is subject to review. The affiliation with the Academy permits a graduating Lycoming senior to be eligible for advanced standing at the Academy upon recommendation of the Lycoming College theatre department chairman and acceptance by the Academy. For information contact the theatre department chairman.
COOPERATIVE PROGRAM IN ENGINEERING
In cooperation with Bucknell University and The Pennsylvania State University, Lycoming College, through its Department of Astronomy and Physics, offers a five-year program in engineering in which the first three years are spent at Lycoming and the final two at the engineering school. This combines the many advantages of a liberal arts education at a small college with the technical training of an engineering school.
If the first year of work at the engineering school is satisfactory, Lycoming will award the bachelor of arts degree. Upon completion of the full five-year program, the engineering school will award a bachelor of science in engineer- ing. The following engineering specialties may be studied: chemical, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering at Bucknell University, and aero- nautical, civil, electrical, industrial, mechanical, and sanitary engineering at The Pennsylvania State University.
At Lycoming, a student completes the college distribution requirements and takes courses in physics, mathematics and chemistry. To be certain of taking all the necessary courses during his three years at Lycoming, it is imperative that any student interested in this program consult with a faculty member of the Department of Astronomy and Physics as early as possible — preferably during the summer orientation session and certainly not later than the first week of the student's first semester at Lycoming.
52/ CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
COOPERATIVE PROGRAM IN FORESTRY
Professional and scientific programs of study in forestry for men and women are offered in cooperation with the School of Forestry, Duke University. You will spend three years in residence at Lycoming and an additional five semesters at Duke. Upon satisfactory completion of two semesters at Duke you will have earned the A.B. degree from Lycoming, and upon completing the remainder of the program will be awarded either the M.F. or M.S. degree from Duke, depending upon the nature of the program.
You should indicate to the Admissions Office that you wish to enroll in the Forestry program. At the end of the first term of the third year, Lycoming recommends qualified students for admission to the Duke School of Forestry. No application need be made to the School of Forestry before then.
Major fields of forestry at Duke are:
FOREST RESOURCE ADMINISTRATION FOREST SCIENCE
Forest Resource Management Forest Ecology
Forestry Business Management Forest Entomology
Forest Protection Forest Pathology
Forest Resource Economics and Policy Tree Physiology
Biometry & Statistics Tree Biochemistry
Systems Analysis Dendrology & Wood Anatomy
Forest Hydrology Forest Meteorology Forest Soils
If you are interested in Forest Resource Administration you are advised to elect a concentration in biology, business management, mathematics, economics, computer science, statistics, or sociology. If you plan a career in Forest Science, you should strengthen your backgrounds in biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics. Typical programs in fields offered at Duke are available upon request from the Dean of the School of Forestry, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27706. More information is available from the biology department.
PREPARATION FOR GRADUATE STUDY
Many careers today require advanced study beyond the bachelor of arts degree. In general, preparation for graduate work in one of the academic disciplines should include a broad base of liberal studies, a strong under- graduate major, and adequate supporting work in closely related fields. You can design an individual major to meet the needs of some of the newer graduate level interdisciplinary programs. Often graduate departments ask that a prospective student's competence be measured by the national Graduate Record Examinations. They usually require a reading knowledge of one or two foreign languages. You should consult departmental advisors early in your college years with respect to planning for entrance to graduate school.
PREPARATION FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONS
The curriculum for the pre-Health Professions (allopathic medicine, dental medicine, optometric medicine, osteopathic medicine, podiatric medicine, and
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES 153
veterinary medicine) are all organized around a solid foundation in biology, chemistry, English, mathematics, and physics. A wide range of subject matter from the humanities, social sciences, and fine arts should be included in the program. At least three years of undergraduate study is recommended before entry into the professional school; the normal procedure is to complete the bachelor of arts degree.
You should indicate to the Admissions Office, when completing the application to Lycoming College, that you wish to enroll in the pre-Health Professions (various fields of medicine) program. The Health Professions Advisory Commit- tee (HPAC) will advise you concerning preparation for and application to a health professional school.
PREPARATION FOR LAW SCHOOL
Lycoming offers a strong academic preparation for students interested in law as a profession. Admission to law school is not predicated upon a particular major or area of study; rather, a student is encouraged to design a course of study (traditional or interdisciplinary major) which is of personal interest and significance to the student. Yet, while no specific major is recommended, there are certain skills which are of particular relevance to the pre-law student and these should be developed during the undergraduate years: clear writing, analytical thinking and language comprehension.
Students who are pursuing law as a career should register with the Legal Professions Advisory Committee (LPAC) upon entering Lycoming and should join the Pre-Law Club on campus. LPAC assists the pre-law student through advisement, compilation of recommendations and dissemination of information and materials about law and the legal profession. Among its activities, LPAC sponsors Pre-LSAT Workshops to help prepare students for the Law Boards and an annual Pre-Law Night which brings to campus admission deans, law students and practicing lawyers. The Pre-Law Club is an organization for students with a common interest in the law. In the past, the Club has sponsored films, speakers and field trips, including one to the United States Supreme Court.
PREPARATION FOR THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
If you are a young man or woman interested in the Christian ministry or related vocations, you can find the pre-ministerial curriculum at Lycoming an exciting and challenging opportunity. Basic courses specified by the American Associa- tion of Theological Schools are virtually identical with the program of courses required for a bachelor of arts degree. Such courses offer a wide range of subject matter presenting many opportunities for you as a pre-ministerial student to acquaint yourself with the broad scope of human experience. Preparation for seminary includes earning a bachelor of arts degree with a major in one of a variety of fields such as religion, English, history, and philosophy. So that you may have a curriculum designed to fit your individual needs, the offerings in the junior and senior year are largely elective. The choice of electives will depend upon the requirements of the theological school which you expect to attend. If you are interested, contact the chairman of the religion department.

ACADEMIC PROGRAM
Lycoming College is a liberal arts institution granting the bachelor of arts degree. A degree candidate must fulfill certain minimal course requirements in breadth of learning — the distribution requirements — and in depth of learning in a chosen subject matter field — the major.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
Every degree candidate must complete the following degree requirements:
1 . Pass a minimum of 1 28 semester hours with an average of 2.0 or better within the limit of 152 hours taken. Withdrawals will be counted in the total number of semester hours permitted, except in the case of withdrawals for medical or psychological reasons.
2. Complete a major consisting of at least eight (8) courses.
3. Achieve an average of 2.0 or better for all courses counted in the major.*
4. Complete the Distribution Requirements.
5. Complete the final eight courses offered for the degree at Lycoming.
6. Earn one year of credit in Physical Education.**
7. Satisfy all financial obligations incurred at the College.
8. Complete the above seven requirements within seven years of continuous enrollment following the date of matriculation. All exemptions or waivers of specific requirements are reviewed by the Committee on Academic Stand- ing.
*This 2.0 average or better must be attained in those courses stipulated as comprising the major. This requirement is not met by averaging the grades for all courses completed in the major department.
"Exemption, for medical reasons, from participation in physical activity associated with physical education may be granted only by the College Physician who considers your medical history, your physician's report, and his own physical examination of you.
COURSE WORK
Instruction at Lycoming College is organized, with few exceptions, on a departmental basis. Nearly all courses are unit courses, meaning that each course taken by you is considered to carry the same academic value as any other course. For transfer purposes each course is considered to be equivalent to four semester hours of academic work. Each course meets on a schedule set by the department and the instructor involved. Such meetings may be on a lecture, discussion, laboratory, or tutorial basis. Varying amounts of additional study, reading, writing, and research will be required for each course. Most students elect four courses each semester. Students may elect to enroll in five (5) courses during any semester provided they were admitted to the Dean's List during the preceding semester while carrying at least four courses. Exceptions may be made by the Committee on Academic Standing. You can accelerate by taking courses in the May Term and summer sessions.

You may complete two majors; each will be recorded on your record.
ESTABLISHED INTERDISCIPLINARY MAJOR (EIM)
An Established Interdisciplinary Major (EIM) can be elected instead of a departmental major. Two or more departments work together to establish an EIM which must be approved by the Committee on Special Studies. The following ElM's, as described beginning on page 64 are available:
Accounting-Mathematics Literature
American Studies Near East Culture and Archeology
Criminal Justice Soviet Area Studies International Studies
INDIVIDUAL INTERDISCIPLINARY MAJOR (MM)
You may take the initiative and design a unique Individual Interdisciplinary Major (MM) in consultation with your faculty advisor. You may apply for approval of an MM to the Committee on Special Studies via the Registrar, who will provide a copy of the Guidelines For Interdisciplinary Majors and other necessary forms.
Individual Interdisciplinary Majors usually involve two or more departments which each already offer a major. An IIM is normally comprised of a minimum of ten courses beyond those satisfying distribution requirements. If the IIM involves departments not included in meeting the distribution requirements, then the ten courses may include elementary courses usually used to satisfy distribution requirements. However, you are expected to take at least six courses at the advanced (junior or senior) level as determined in consultation with your advisors. Changes in this set of courses comprising the major, which may be desired or needed as you progress, must be authorized by the Committee on Special Studies.
58 1 ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
As an IIM student, you are advised by a committee composed of one professor from each department involved. You choose the chairman who functions as your advisor. The Committee on Special Studies must certify the successful completion of the IIM for graduation.
Your transcript will show:
Interdisciplinary Major in (Departments), for example:
Interdisciplinary Major in Urban Studies (History, Psychology, Sociology).
POLICY ON ADMISSION TO MAJOR
If you desire an established interdisciplinary major (EIM) or departmental major (DM), you must declare your elected major, in the Office of the Registrar, no later than the beginning of your junior year.
If you desire an individual interdisciplinary major (IIM), you must apply to and secure the approval of the Committee on Special Studies in conformity with established policy.
If the Committee on Special Studies, the Coordinating Committee for an EIM, or a department feels that legitimate reasons exist which may warrant removal from major status, that committee or department must submit these reasons, in writing, to the Dean of the College who, after consultation with you, will decide whether or not you are to be removed from major status. The Committee on Special Studies, the Coordinating Committee for an EIM, the department, or you may appeal the decision of the Dean of the College to the Committee on Academic Standing which will either sustain or modify the decision of the Dean of the College.
If you have not declared a major by the beginning of your junior year, you are subject to dismissal from the College.
ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT
An advantage of a small college is the rich experience gained by the close association of students and faculty. The counseling program at Lycoming enables you to discuss various academic problems with your faculty advisor, your instructors, and the staffs of the Dean of the College and the Dean of Student Services.
As an entering Freshman, you are assigned to a faculty advisor who meets with you as needed during the year. You will find your advisor willing to guide and assist in the many problems that confront a new college student. If, as an upperclass student, you do not feel the need for a formally assigned advisor, you may assume the responsibility for meeting your degree requirements.
THE DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS
One of the reasons a student chooses to come to Lycoming is a desire to obtain a breadth of knowledge in many areas, a liberal arts education. A student who deliberately elects to attend a liberal arts college is interested in more than training in a narrow major; he wants knowledge in an area of special interest, his major, amplified by exploration into kindred and "unrelated" fields.
ACADEMIC PROGRAMS / 59
Lycoming College, being a liberal arts institution, insists that a major program ot study be supported and challenged by the influences of a diversity of subjects. The major must not become narrow in its vision and sterile in its ability to help you function effectively in a world where nothing is neatly isolated and compartmentalized. The College believes that the essence of liberal education is its potential for exposing you to the multitude of historical, traditional, and contemporary avenues of thought and action which are brought to light in different ways through the study of various disciplines.
By taking different kinds of subjects, you can discover numerous ways of seeing things. You can gain the advantage of learning to view events and approach problems and questions from various points of view. You can discover that the interpretation of events and the relevance of solutions and answers will vary greatly for different individuals and groups.
To have you achieve at least a minimal insight into this multiplicity of perspective, thought, and reaction, Lycoming requires that you select some of your courses from the six groups outlined below. The aim is not the garnering of specific, prescribed information, but rather, the development of a broadly based perspective of all aspects of life.
The distribution requirements in English, Mathematics, Fine Arts, Natural Science, and History and Social Science may be met by superior performance on the General Examinations of the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). Further information about CLEP may be obtained from the Office of the Registrar.
ENGLISH
You are required to pass English I and one other English course. English I must be taken during the Freshman year. By passing the CLEP General Examination you may be exempted from English I. This examination is offered during Freshman Orientation.
FOREIGN LANGUAGE OR MATHEMATICS
You are required to meet a minimum basic requirement in either a foreign language or mathematics.
Mathematics. If you elect mathematics, you must complete four courses in mathematics. By passing the CLEP General Examination you may reduce this requirement to two courses other than Math I. This examination is offered during the Freshman Orientation.
Foreign Language. If you elect to take a foreign language, you may choose from among French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Russian, or Spanish. You are required to pass two courses on the intermediate or a higher course level. Placement at the appropriate course level will be determined by the faculty of the department of foreign languages and literatures. No student who has had two or more years of a given language in high school shall be admitted to the elementary course in the same foreign language for credit, except by written permission from the chairman of the department. French 28 will meet part of this requirement only upon consent of the department.
60 1 ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
RELIGION OR PHILOSOPHY
You are required to pass one year (two courses in the same subject) in either philosophy or religion.
Philosophy. You may take any two philosophy courses. Religion. You may take any two religion courses.
FINE ARTS
You are required to pass one year (two courses) in one of the following:
Art. You may take any two art courses.
Literature. You may take any two literature courses selected from the offerings of the departments of English and Foreign Languages and Literatures.

ACADEMIC PROGRAMS / 61
GRADING SYSTEM
The College uses the traditional letter system of grading: A B C D F or Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory. Any student enrolled full-time at Lycoming College may elect to take up to a maximum of four courses on a Satisfactory/ Unsatisfactory basis. Only one course may be taken on this basis during any semester. No course taken on an S/U basis after the declaration of the major and approval by the department involved may be used to satisfy a requirement of that major, including courses required by the major department which are offered by other departments.. Instructor-designated S/U courses are excepted from this limitation.
During the May Term, instructors, with the approval of the Dean of the College may designate courses to be taken on an S/U basis only. These courses will not count toward the four-course limit. A course selected on a S/U basis which is subsequently withdrawn will not count toward the four-course limit.
Any student electing a course on an S/U basis may designate a minimum acceptable letter grade of 'A', 'B', or 'C. If the letter grade actually earned by the student equals or exceeds the minimum acceptable letter designated by the student, then the letter grade actually earned in the course will be entered on the student's permanent record and will be used in computing the student's GPA. In this case the course will not count toward the four-course limit since it was not completed on an S/U basis. If the student fails to designate a minimum acceptable letter grade or if the letter grade actually earned is lower than the minimum acceptable letter grade designated by the student, then the Registrar will substitute an 'S' for any passing grade ('A', 'B'.'C or 'D') and a 'U' for an 'F grade.
The student shall declare by the end of the period during which courses may be added an intention to be graded on an S/U basis. At the same time, and except for instructor designated S/U courses, the student will indicate a minimum acceptable letter grade. The instructor will not be notified of these decisions, unless the student chooses to do so. A student electing the S/U option shall be expected to perform the same work in the course as those being graded on the regular basis.
62/ ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
You will receive full credit for a course passed with a Satisfactory grade. Neither the "S" nor the "U" count in computing the grade point average.
Incomplete grades may be given if you, for absolutely unavoidable reasons, have not been able to complete the work requisite to the course. Such circumstances usually stem from medical sources. An incomplete grade must be removed within six (6) weeks of the next regular semester.
MID-SEMESTER EVALUATIONS FOR FRESHMEN
Mid-Semester evaluations are reported for freshman students whose work is unsatisfactory. These reports are filed with the Registrar who then reports them to the students concerned and their faculty advisors. The evaluation report from the instructor may be one of two types: (a) submission of letter grade of "D" or "F"(b) submission of a written evaluation for those freshmen who are performing below the satisfactory level.
ACADEMIC HONESTY
The integrity of the academic process of the College requires honesty in all phases of the instructional program. The College assumes that students are committed to the principle of academic honesty. Students who fail to honor this commitment are subject to dismissal from Lycoming . Procedural guidelines and rules for the adjudication of cases of academic dishonesty are printed in the Faculty Handbook and Pathfinder available to students in the library.
ACADEMIC HONORS
The Dean's List is issued at the close of each semester in recognition of superior scholarship. Students are admitted to the Dean's List when they have completed at least three courses with otherthan S/U and have a minimum grade point average of 3.50 for the semester.
You may be awarded the bachelor of arts degree with honors when you have earned the following grades:
Bachelor of Arts, summa cum laude — a 3.90 grade point average. Bachelor of Arts, magna cum laude — a 3.50 grade point average. Bachelor of Arts, cum laude — a 3.25 grade point average.
High quality scholarship is also recognized by completion of a departmental honors program and by election of students to membership in Honor Societies.
ACADEMIC STANDING
A student whose cumulative or semester average falls below "C" is considered to be in academic difficulty and his academic record will be reviewed by the Committee on Academic Standing. Such students may be placed on academic probation, suspended, or dismissed by the Committee on Academic Standing according to regulations established by the Faculty.
CLASS ATTENDANCE
The academic program at Lycoming is based upon the assumption that there is value in class attendance for all students. Individual instructors have the
ACADEMIC PROGRAMS/ 63
prerogative of establishing reasonable absence regulations in any course. You are responsible for learning and observing these regulations.
STUDENT RECORDS
The policy regarding student educational records is designed to protect the privacy of students against unwarranted intrusions, and is consistent with Section 438 of the General Education Provision Act (commonly known as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended). The details of the College's policy on student records and the procedure for gaining access to student records is contained in the current issue of the Pathfinder.
WITHDRAWING FROM COURSES
You may drop any course during the first fifteen days of classes and no record of such enrollment shall be made on your permanent record card. You may also add any course during the first fifteen days of classes, subject to the approval of the instructor. If you wish to drop a course between the fifteenth day and the twelfth week of classes you must secure a withdrawal form from the Office of the Registrar. You must present this form to the instructor of the course in question who will then assign one of the following grades:
W — Progress at the time of withdrawal cannot be determined. WP — Progress at the time of withdrawal is satisfactory. WF — Progress at the time of withdrawal is unsatisfactory.
This grade is then entered on your permanent record card. No withdrawal grade is counted in the computation of the grade point average, but the number of semester hours from which you withdraw is counted toward the total of 152 semester hours to which you are limited in completing your degree require- ments at Lycoming. Students may not withdraw from courses after the twelfth week of the semester.

INTERNATIONAL STUDIES
Coordinator: Assistant Professor Larson
This major in International Studies is designed to integrate an understanding of the changing social, political, and historical environment of Europe today with study of Europe in its relations to the rest of the world, particularly the United States. It stresses the international relations of the North Atlantic Community and offers the student opportunity to emphasize either European studies or international relations. The program provides multiple perspectives on the cultural traits that shape popular attitudes and institutions. Study of a single country is included as a data-base for comparisons, and study of its language as a basis for direct communication with its people.
The program is intended to prepare a student either for graduate study or for careers which have an international component. International obligations are increasingly assumed by governmental agencies and a wide range of business, social, religious, and educational organizations. Opportunities are found in the fields of journalism, publishing, communications, trade, banking, advertising, management, and tourism. The program also offers flexible career preparation in a variety of essential skills such as analysis of data, drawing conclusions,
INTERDISCIPLINARY MAJORS I 67
research, report writing, language skills, and the awarenesses necessary for dealing with people and institutions of another culture. Preparation for related careers can be obtained through the guided selection of courses outside the major in the areas of Business, Economics, Foreign Languages and Literatures, Government, History, and International Relations; or through a second major. Students should design their programs in consultation with members of the committee on International Studies and other departments.
By completing 6-8 additional courses in the social sciences (which include those courses needed to complete a major in Economics, History or Political Science) and the required program in Education, students can be certified for the teacher education program in Social Studies. By completing a major in the foreign language (5 more courses) and the Education program, students can be certified to teach that language. The International Studies program also encourages participation in study abroad programs, as well as the Washington International Semester, and the United Nations Semester.
The major includes eleven courses selected as follows:
International Relations Courses — Four or two courses (if two, then four must be taken from Area Courses). Courses within this group are designed to provide a basic understanding of the international system and of Europe's relations with the rest of the world. Political Science 25 is required.

68 1 INTERDISCIPLINARY MAJORS
LITERATURE
Coordinator — Associate Professor Maples
This major recognizes literature as a distinct discipline beyond national boundaries and combines the study of any two literatures in the areas of English, French, German, Russian, and Spanish. You can thus explore two literatures widely and intensively at the upper levels of course offerings within each of the respective departments while developing and applying skills in foreign lan- guages. The major prepares you for graduate study in either of the two literatures studied or in Comparative Literature.
The major requires at least six literature courses, equally divided between the two literatures concerned. The six must be at the advanced level as determined in consultation with advisors (normally courses numbered 20 and above in English and 40 and above in Foreign Languages). In general, two of the advanced courses in each literature should be period courses. The third course, taken either as a regular course or as independent study, may have as its subject another period, a particular author, genre, or literary theme, or some other unifying approach or idea. Beyond these six, the major must include at least two additional courses from among those counting toward a major in the departments involved. Any prerequisite courses in the respective departments (for example, French 23, German 33, 34,) should be taken during the Freshman and Sophomore years. You should design your program in consultation with a faculty member from each of the literatures concerned. Programs for the major must be approved by the departments involved.

THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
The Alumni Association of Lycoming College has a membership of over seven thousand men and women. It is governed by an Executive Board consisting of four officers and twenty-one members-at-large, elected through mail ballot by the membership of the Association. The board also has forty-two members representing specific geographic areas of alumni concentration, the senior class president, the student body president, and a representative of the last graduating class. The Association annually nominates one alumni represent- ative for a three year term on the College Board of Trustees. The Director of Alumni Affairs directs the activities of the Alumni Office.
The Alumni Association has the following purpose as stated in its constitution: "As an off-campus constituency, the Association's purpose is to seek ways of maintaining an active and mutually beneficial relationship between the college and its alumni, utilizing their talents, resources and counsel to further the objective and program of Lycoming College."
All former students of Williamsport Dickinson Seminary and all former students, who have successfully completed one year of study at Williamsport Dickinson Junior College or Lycoming College shall be members of the Association. Any person who leaves Lycoming College after successfully completing one year and re-enters as a student within four years of his/her initial matriculation, shall not be a member of the Alumni Association while enrolled as a student at Lycoming College.
Acting as the representative of alumni on the campus, and working also with undergraduates, the Alumni office aids in keeping alumni informed and interested in the program, growth, and activities of the college through regular publications mailed to all Alumni on record. Arrangements for Homecoming, Alumni Day, Class Reunions, club meetings and similar activities are coordi- nated through this office. The Alumni Association promotes group travel programs, supplies back-year class rings, sells watercolors of the campus and sells alumni chairs.
Through The Lycoming College Fund, the alumni office is closely associated with the development program of the college. Lycoming College holds Class A, B, and C memberships in the American Alumni Council. Communications to the Alumni Association should be addressed to the Alumni Office.
