INTRODUCTION

ntmdu

Elon College is a coeducational, residential, church-related college
situated on a spacious campus in the heart of the Piedmont near Burlington,
North Carolina. Named for the Hebrew word for "oak," the college is located
in what was once an oak forest, and many of these majestic trees still grace
Elon's campus.

The fourth largest of the 37 private colleges and universities in North Carolina,
Elon offers a wide range of choices in academics and campus activities, yet is
small enough to allow students to feel a sense of personal involvement and
interaction with faculty members and fellow students.

The Mission of Elon College

Motivated by the beliefs and spiritual values that have grown out of its
founding by the historic Christian Church, Elon offers men and women a liberal
arts education that enriches them as human beings, prepares them for the choice
of a profession and for service to their communities. Within this context, Elon
College also offers selected career-oriented majors and graduate programs to
facilitate professional development.

In accordance with the provisions of the charter, Elon College aims to provide
its students the opportunity to develop:

• a personal philosophy of life which will be reflected in a sense of integrity,
high ethical standards, and significant religious insights and practice;

• an understanding of their responsibilities and rights as citizens in a democratic
society, and a recognition of the intrinsic worth of all individuals;

• an informed respect for the differences among cultures as well as an under-
standing of the interdependence of world conditions and of the need for
individual and collective responsibility for the environment;

• a love of learning and sensitivity to aesthetic values sufficient to stimulate
continued intellectual and cultural growth;

• the ability to gather information, to think critically, logically, and creatively,
and to communicate effectively;

• a basic knowledge of the humanities, natural sciences and social sciences,
and an appreciation of their interrelationships;

• a level of competence in at least one field of knowledge sufficient to provide
depth of intellectual perspective and preparation for graduate study or profes-
sional activity;

E L 0 N COLLEGE

• an understanding of the principles of mental and physical health essential for
developing a lifestyle of wholeness and well-being;

• an appreciation of the potential for lifelong personal growth and professional
development which their own distinct abilities and aptitudes provide.

In keeping with these educational objectives, Elon College recognizes its
broader responsibilities as an institution of higher learning. The college supports
scholarly and artistic expression by providing the couditions for serious intellec-
tual work by both students and faculty. It furthermore promotes open and honest
inquirv, respect for persons of all circumstances, sensitivity to diverse cultural
traditions, an understanding of the economic environment, an appreciation for
the value of work and habits of democratic citizenship. As participants in a
community of learners, all members of the college are expected to enact the
ideals of personal integrity and public responsibility.

History

Elon College was founded by the Christian Church (now United Church
of Christ) in 1889. Two schools were forerunners of Elon College: The Graham
College, established in 1851 in Graham, North Carolina; and the Suffolk Collegiate
Institute, established in 1872 in Suffolk, Virginia. In 1888, the Southern Christian
Convention, now a part of the United Church of Christ, voted to establish Elon
College. Since its founding, seven presidents have provided the leadership
essential for progress.

The site of the new college was known as Mill Point, located four miles west
of Burlington, North Carolina. In its early years, Elon survived many difficulties.
The student body population was severely reduced during World War I, and a
major fire in 1923 destroyed most of the campus buildings. Within three years,
a new campus emerged from the ruins: The five central buildings, including
Alamance, were built at this time. The Great Depression and World War II also
created challenges for the college.

The decades following World War II brought physical growth and academic
development. As enrollment increased, new buildings went up and the college
expanded beyond its brick walls. Students from half of the states in the Union,
as well as from foreign countries, gave the college a regional complexion.

Elon experienced a decade of unprecedented growth during the 1980s. During
this time, applications doubled and enrollment increased 35 percent, making Elon
one of the fastest growing colleges in the region. Dozens of academic and student
life programs were added to enrich the quality of an Elon education. Special
classes and volunteer programs were developed to provide students with leader-
ship and service opportunities. In fall 1984, the college began offering a master
of business administration degree, and in the fall 1986, a master of education
degree. The college physical plant grew during the 1980s as well. Total campus
acreage doubled, and square footage of buildings increased 73 percent. The
college also made major investments in computer and library technology and
equipment for the sciences and communications.

INTRODUCTION

During this time, financial support for tlie college was strong, with annual
revenues increasing more than 200 percent. Counted among Elon's most loyal
benefactors are the alumni: 38 percent make a gift to the college each year,
placing Elon among the top of private colleges and universities in alumni
participation.

Elon's forward momentum has continued in the 1990s. In an effort to further
enhance teaching and academic excellence, the college has recently revised the
General Studies curriculum and converted to a four semester-hour structure. An
$18 million fund-raising campaign is near completion, and renovation of Alumni
Gymnasium and construction of a fitness center is complete. A new 74,000
square-foot campus center will be completed in 1994.

As a result of Elon's accomplishments, Elon was ranked in the top quartile
of southern regional colleges and universities by U.S. News & World Report's
"1994 College Guide."

Although there have been many changes through the years, Elon remains
church-related rather than church controlled. It embraces general Christian
principles and values as an appropriate foundation for the development of
human personality and social order.

Students

From its initial enrollment of 108 students, Elon's student body has grown
steadily. Elon's 3,141 undergraduate and 138 graduate students come from 37
states and 21 foreign countries. In 1993, 38 percent of Elon students were from
North Carolina and 62 percent were from out-of-state. Slightly more than half of
the students are women, and the student body includes several racial and socio-
economic groups. Elon College admits students of any race, color, sex, national
or ethnic origin and handicapped without discrimination. This diversity enriches
the life of the community and reflects the nature of American society itself.

Faculty

Elon students benefit from a dedicated staff and an outstanding faculty whose
primary concern is teaching. Faculty members have been chosen because of their
academic preparation, individual initiative and commitment to excellence in
teaching. Approximately 75 percent hold the highest degree in their fields. Many
of Elon's faculty demonstrate their satisfaction with the college with long years
of service. With a student to faculty ratio of 17:1, Elon chooses to remain small so
that the relationship between faculty and students is friendly, informal and lasting.

Programs

Elon College believes that the study of liberal arts prepares students for
rewarding, meaningful lives. Its programs are designed to challenge students to
excel intellectually, to pursue self-fulfillment and to learn the meaning of service
to others.

The academic program provides opportunities for each student to develop
a mature proficiency in the use of the English language, an awareness of history

E L 0 N COLLEGE

and an appreciation of cultural, social and scientific achievements. The General
Studies courses give students the breadth and background needed for mature
intellectual development and a lifetime of learning and leadership. The upper-
level courses allovi' students to concentrate in areas of special interest and in
professional and career-oriented branches of learning. To meet such individual
needs, the academic program includes such features as independent study, study
abroad opportunities, internships and cooperative education.

Elon College complements the classroom through a broad range of activities
and student life programs that encourage students to find their personal identi-
ties, refine their social skills, broaden their perspectives and create lifetime
8 friendships.

Academic Calendar

The college's academic year is divided into a 4-1-4 calendar. The fall semester
is a four-month term, ending before Christmas holidays, followed by a one-month
winter term and a four-month spring semester. The one-month term offers
opportunities for travel, study abroad, internships and service programs in
addition to specialized courses on campus. Evening classes and a summer
session are held each year.

The calendar is designed to meet the needs of: (1) full-time students who
plan to complete degree requirements within four years, (2) part-time students,

(3) high school seniors who wish to take one or two college-level courses,

(4) members of the community who desire further educational work in day or
evening classes, and (5) those who seek a graduate degree in business (MBA)
or education (M.Ed.). Summer school serves the same groups and, in addition,
provides an opportunity for new students or students enrolled in other colleges
to more quickly complete their degree requirements.

Accreditation

Elon College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools to award bachelor's and master's degrees.

The college is a member of the following associations:

• The American Council of Education

• The Association of American Colleges

• The American Association of University Women

• The North Carolina Association of Colleges and Universities

• The North Carolina Association of Independent Colleges and Universities

• Independent College Fund of North Carolina

Location

Fifteen miles west of Elon College, along Interstate 85/40, is the thriving city
of Greensboro. To the east is Research Triangle Park, internationally known for
its intellectual resources and for scientific research conducted by companies and
organizations in the fields of computer technology, genetic engineering and other
areas. Near Research Triangle Park are Duke University at Durham, the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University at Raleigh. Rich
cultural resources affiliated with four larger cities and 12 colleges are within an
hour's drive of the campus. Thus, the Elon College community enjoys the lifestyle
of a relatively small institution yet benefits from being centrally located close to
major institutional and urban resources.

Campus

Elon's historic campus is beautiful, spacious and rich in trees and stately
brick buildings. The campus is adjacent to the business district of the town of Elon
College and is bounded by residential areas. The college is designed and equipped
to serve its living and learning community with 24 academic and administrative
buildings and 20 residence halls. The current living and dining facilities serve
approximately 1 ,800 students who live on campus.

Extensive building and improvement projects have been completed in recent
years, including six fraternity and sorority houses on north campus in 1989, six
apartment complexes on east campus in 1989, four residence halls in 1982 and
1984, and a new fountain and plaza area in 1982. Buildings housing the class-
rooms and laboratories have been extensively renovated, and new equipment and
furniture have been provided, significantly enhancing the learning environment.

Elon's 75,000-square-foot Fine Arts Building opened in 1987 to house the fine
arts and communications programs. In addition to providing classroom and studio
space, the building has become the center of the college's cultural program series.
Facilities include an auditorium, a recital hall and gallery space.

A major renovation and addition to the newly named Koury Center will unite
Alumni Memorial Gymnasium, Alumni Gym, Jordan Gym, Beck Pool and the new
state-of-the-art fitness center, creating a visual whole.

A new campus center with 74,000 square feet is under construction, sched-
uled for completion in 1994. The center will include space for student organiza-
tions, a dining facility, the campus bookstore, student mail services and a multi-
purpose meeting area and auditorium. A TV lounge, "varsity" room, gazebo and
outdoor terrace will be part of the student commons area.

16 General Studies

General Studies at Elon College provide students the opportunity to acquire
the skills, the experiences and the knovi^ledge needed to obtain the broad philo-
sophical, aesthetic, historical and scientific bases for understanding and evaluat-
ing human experience. The college offers all students a broad range of experience
in four areas:

The First-Year Core helps the student develop the ability to (I) think clearly
and critically, (2) write clear, correct English prose, (3) evaluate quantitative
information, improve mathematical reasoning skills, and enhance appreciation
of the value of mathematics, (4) develop an understanding of personal well-being
and lifelong diversity and the possibilities for human communication and coop-
eration.

The Experiential Learning requirement encourages students to engage the
world about them actively and to reflect insightfully about those observations.
It is the most visible recognition in the General Studies program of the wholeness
of a liberal education.

The Liberal Studies area emphasizes that an important goal of an under-
graduate education is adaptability since the future will include not only evident
problems but the unforeseen. The four sub-areas in Liberal Studies (expression,
civilization, society, and science/analysis) reflect a broad and diversified curricu-
lum designed to prepare students for a future of continued intellectual growth.

The Advanced Studies courses give breadth in upper-level courses. The
Interdisciplinary Seminar, which explores subjects from multiple viewpoints,
is an appropriate capstone of a General Studies curriculum that promotes both
breadth and depth of learning.

General Studies are by nature cumulative and developmental. Thus Elon
College students will revisit these themes throughout their college years from
initial enrollment to graduation.

The Martha and Spencer Love School of Business

Established in 1985, the Love School of Business is an outgrowth of an
endowment gift to Elon College from the Martha and Spencer Love Foundation.

ACADEMIC PROGRAM

The Love School of Business builds upon the liberal arts tradition of Elon
College and provides undergraduate and graduate students the educational
opportunities that will prepare them for business careers and civic leadership.

The Business School offers undergraduate-level majors in accounting and
business administration (concentrations in management, marketing, finance,
international management and management information systems) and a
graduate degree in business administration (MBA).

Specific requirements for Love School programs in Business Administration
and Accounting are listed under Courses of Instruction.

Professional Programs

Elon College offers professional programs in Accounting, Business
Administration, Communications, Computer Science, Education, Human
Services, journalism. Music, Public Administration and Medical Technology.
These programs prepare graduates entering beginning-level professional posi-
tions. Qualified graduates may wish to continue their studies in graduate school.

Preprofessional Programs

Elon College offers programs that prepare students for professional studies
in such fields as dentistry, engineering, law, medicine and theology. Students
entering any pre-professional program should plan carefully, using the catalog
of the professional school they wish to enter as a specific guide to choosing
courses at Elon College. In addition to the preparation students receive through
the regular academic curriculum, Elon offers a preprofessional advising program
that emphasizes careful academic advising, special programs and workshops and
assistance in the graduate application process. The Academic Advising Center
staff is available to assist students in this planning.

Pre-engineering

Elon offers a pre-engineering program that allows students to undertake a
sequence of courses emphasizing math, physics and chemistry.

Students may transfer to an engineering school after two years. While there is
the potential for a qualified student to transfer to any engineering school, the pre-
engineering program at Elon College has been approved by the Subcommittee on
Engineering Transfer for transfer to the engineering programs at North Carolina
A&T State University, North Carolina State University, and the University of North
Carolina at Charlotte. Qualified students completing Elon's program receive
preferential consideration for transfer to any of these engineering schools.

A three-year pre-engineering program is available for those students who
have strong potential for pursuing an engineering degree but who do not have the
math preparation necessary to take calculus. First-year students may take college
algebra in the fall semester and calculus in the spring semester.

Prelaw

The Association of Law Schools embraces two educational objectives for
undergraduate law students: First, the student should learn to reason logically;
second, the student should learn to express thoughts clearly and concisely both
orally and in writing. While law schools do not require a specific undergraduate
major, several majors at Elon prepare students for admission to law school. Elon
faculty members help students choose specific courses and curriculum tracks that
increase students' chances for acceptance into law school, and advise students in
selection of law schools, preparation for the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT)
and the application procedure.

Through programs offered by the Prelaw Society, students discuss career
opportunities with attorneys, judges and law enforcement officers. The Prelaw
Society also arranges visits to area law schools and offers programs on taking
the LSAT and applying to law school.

Premedical and Predental

Elon's premedical program prepares students for entry into schools of den-
tistry, medicine, optometiy, osteopathy, pharmacy, podiatry, veterinary medicine
and other health-related professions.

Elon's Pre-Medical Student Evaluation Committee is designed to guide and
advise students who are interested in pursuing medical and health-related
professions. The committee is composed of faculty members from Elon, Bowman
Gray School of Medicine and the Duke University Medical Center. The committee
monitors each student's academic progress and offers helpful advice on choosing
medical professions and applying to graduate and medical schools. It assists
students with the application process and provides letters of recommendation.

Students interested in a medically related career should meet with the
premedical advisor and plan the course of study as soon as possible. Although a
concentration of the student's academic work will be in the sciences, medical and
professional schools seek students with well-rounded academic experiences and
well-developed critical thinking skills.

Preministerial

(Any Full-time Christian Vocation)

The educational program at Elon College provides opportunities for students
to prepare for the various aspects of Christian ministry. Although no particular
major is required, many courses and other educational and service experiences
permit students to explore their interest in and fitness for religious vocations.
In general, for church-related vocations, students may major in Religious Studies
or any of the liberal arts areas.

Special Academic Programs

Elon College offers various programs for those with special needs and
qualifications.

ACADEMIC PROGRAM

Evening School

Undergraduate and graduate-level courses are also offered during the
evening. While any student may enroll in courses at these times, evening
courses are especially convenient for students who work during the day. By
attending classes solely at night, students may earn the Master of Business
Administration, the Master of Education and undergraduate majors in business
administration and accounting. Students may earn other undergraduate majors
through a combination of day and evening classes.

Student life is more than classrooms, laboratories, study desks and libraries.
Elon's goal is to educate the whole person, and students have many opportunities
to achieve that goal. Experiences in the residence halls, campus organizations,
Student Government, spontaneous social groups, Greek organizations, and on
athletic and intramural teams are critically important in the student's total
development.

By choosing to participate in those co-curricular activities that interest them
or are complementary to their academic programs, students can develop impor-
tant insights about genuine communication, self-government, freedom, trust,
honor and critical judgment. Programs designed by well-qualified faculty, staff
and students provide opportunities for the student to develop a meaningful
concept, a sense of career, a philosophy of life, and sound ethical and moral
principles.

Student Service

Personal Counseling

same issues, are available for those interested. In each of the two campus areas-
Main and North— there is an Area Director, a master's-level staff member trained
in counseling or a related field. In addition, within each residence hall there is a
staff of specially-trained community development coordinator, usually one per
floor. CACs live on the hall and help students learn more about Elon College,
themselves and other students. Supporting the residence hall staffs are personnel
associated with the Office of Student Affairs.

Health Service

Each room is furnished with beds, bureaus, desks, blinds and chairs. The student
brings pillows, blankets, bedspreads, bed linens, towels and other articles such as
wastebaskets, rugs and lamps. Residence halls open at 2:00 p.m. the day before
registration each semester. They are closed during Thanksgiving, Christmas,
spring and summer vacations, except for those residence halls occupied during
28 summer school. Rooms will be vacated and residence halls locked no later than

noon on the day following the last night of exams.

Provided on-campus housing space is available, all first-year students must
live in the residence halls unless they are living with their parents, relatives or
spouse. All residence life policies and procedures for living on campus are
presented in the License Agreement, which the student receives and acknowl-

* Upon withdrawal, meal ticket refunds are prorated.

E L 0 N COLLEGE

Notice of Withdrawal

In order to be eligible for a refund upon withdrawal a student must notify
the Dean of Student Affairs in writing of his/her intentions. The student must also
check out with the Financial Planning and Cashier offices. Refunds are calculated
as of the date of withdrawal specified by the Dean of Student Affairs.

Financial Aid

Elon College believes that no student should be denied a college education
because of limited funds. To the extent possible, eligible students receive aid
An through careful planning and various forms of financial assistance.

In order to receive any type of college, state or federal aid, students must
demonstrate satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of degree
requirements. No financial aid is offered until an applicant has been accepted
for admission to Elon College.

Financial aid programs vary by source, eligibility criteria and application
procedures. While every effort is made to meet each student's full needs, that is not
always possible, due to a limited amount of aid available. Students will be offered a
financial aid "package" which is an award consisting of one or more of the follow-
ing types of aid: scholarships, grants, low-interest loans and campus employment.
Scholarships and grants are "gift assistance" which do not have to be repaid while
loans and work are referred to as "self help." Financial aid packages may consist
of all self help or a combination of self help and gift assistance. Applying early for
financial aid improves your chances for getting the maximum aid for which you are
eligible. Unless the student is a continuing student, no aid is awarded until the
student has been accepted for admission.

Types of Financial Aid Based on Need

There are a variety of need-based financial aid programs. The federal govern-
ment, some states (including North Carolina) and the college itself offer grant,
loan and work-study programs. Grants are funds which do not have to be repaid,
loans to students are generally repayable only after the student is no longer
enrolled, and work-study funds are earned through employment on campus.
Many students use work-study funds to meet their personal financial needs
during the school year.

All need-based financial aid is renewable up to four years provided the same
level of need is demonstrated each year, the student maintains satisfactory
academic progress as defined by the college for financial aid purposes and the
funds remain available. Renewal cannot be assured to those students whose
financial aid application files are completed after April 1 of any year.

Federal Programs
Federal Pell Grant

For students with a high need. Pell Grants provide from $400 to $2,300 annually.

ADMISSIONS, FINANCES AND FINANCIAL AID

Federal Perkins Loans

Federal funds given to and awarded by the college to students demonstrating
high need. No interest accrues and no payment is due while the student is

ceases to be at least a half-time student. Amounts vary.

Federal College Work-Study

Awarded to students with need who work on campus and who are paid
according to hours worked. Awards vary based on amount of need. Work-study

businesses and foundations. All students who apply for need-based aid and who
demonstrate need are automatically considered for these funds. No separate
application is required.

Institutional Grants

College grants based solely on demonstrated need. Amounts vary in accor-
dance with need.

E L 0 N COLLEGE

Need-based Endowed Scholarships

Awarded to students who demonstrate need and who meet certain other
criteria as established by the donors. The college identifies eligible students and
awards these funds accordingly. No separate application is required.

Financial Assistance Not Based on Need

There is help available for students and families who do not qualify for need-
based aid. This help is in the form of scholarships, grants, loans and work-study.
Listed below are some of the opportunities available from Elon, state and federal
governments and outside sources.

North Carolina Legislative Tuition Grant

Eveiy North Carolina resident who attends Elon as a full-time undergraduate
student automatically receives a Legislative Tuition Grant of approximately $1,150
from the North Carolina General Assembly. The exact amount of the grant is set
annually by the General Assembly. A brief application must be completed at
registration to show legal residency.

UCC Ministerial Discount

$600 per year ($300 per semester) to full-time students who are legal depen-
dents of full-time ministers in the United Church of Christ. Documentation of
eligibility is required.

Merit Scholarships

Based on talent or performance rather than need.

North Carolina Teaching Fellows

Full cost of tuition, room and board, plus air fare to London for one semester.
Elon is one of two private colleges in North Carolina selected to offer the presti-
gious North Carolina Teaching Fellows program. The Fellows are selected by the
North Carolina Teaching Fellows Commission which provides scholarships of
approximately $5,000 a year for four years on the condition that Fellows teach
for four years in North Carolina public schools after graduation.

Elon enrolls approximately 20 Teaching Fellows each year and supplements
the Teaching Fellows scholarship to provide for the full cost of tuition, room and
board for four years, plus air fare for a semester in London.

Honors Fellows

$1,500 to $5,000 annually plus one $500 travel grant. Elon enrolls approxi-
mately 65 Honors Fellows each year who receive scholarships ranging from
$1,500 to $5,000 a year. Honors Fellows are selected on the basis of high school
record and standardized test scores.

Leadership Fellows

$1,000 or $1,500 annually. Elon enrolls approximately 100 Leadership Fellows
each year selected on the basis of successful high school performance, above

ADMISSIONS, FINANCES AND FINANCIAL AID

average standardized test scores and demonstrated leadership ability. No separate
application, Applicants for admission who meet the criteria are awarded the
scholarship.

Presidential Scholarships

$500 to $1,000 annually. Presidential Scholarships are awarded on the basis of
superior academic performance and SAT or ACT scores. Applicants for admission
who qualify are automatically awarded this scholarship.

Fine Arts Scholarships

The Department of Fine Arts awards scholarships to outstanding freshmen 51

in the fields of music and theatre on the basis of audition. The scholarships range
from $ 200 to $1,500 annually. Contact the Fine Arts department.

Athletic Scholarships

In compliance with NCAA Division II regulations, athletic scholarships are
awarded by the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics in each sport offered at
Elon. The awards are based on performance and the amount varies. Contact the
Athletics Department.

Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC)

The United States Army offers four-year scholarships which cover the cost of
tuition and books for four years, plus $100 per month for personal expenses. Elon
provides room and board at no cost to all four-year ROTC scholarship winners.
The Army also offers some two-year scholarships for which students in the Elon
ROTC program may compete.

Private Scholarships

Foundations, service clubs, churches and corporations give away millions of
dollars of scholarships each year to worthy students. Many Elon students receive
this type of scholarship help in addition to other types of help they may be
receiving.

Students generally seek these scholarships on their own. A good place to start
is by asking your high school guidance office about community and other scholar-
ships with which they may be familiar. Then ask about the availability of scholar-
ships at places where family members are employed, through your church and
through any organizations to which family members belong. Finally go to the
public library for guidebooks to scholarships from foundations, corporations
and government agencies.

Campus Employment

Many Elon students assist with college living expenses by working a part-time
job, either on or off campus. The opportunities for campus employment at Elon are
available both to students who qualify for need and to students who do not.

Students in part-time jobs get valuable experience, learn time-management

E L 0 N COLLEGE

skills, build friendships with the office personnel and, in certain cases with the
approval of the Director of Experiential Education, receive internship credit.

Loan Options That Are Not Based on Need

Several sources of long-term loan funds are available that are based on credit
worthiness rather than "need."

Federal Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS)

Parents may borrow up to the cost of education (at Elon, $15,400 for 1994-95)
less any other aid per academic year for each dependent enrolled at least half-
time. Interest rate is variable and is based on the 52-week T-bill rate plus 3.1
percent with a cap of 10 percent.

Federal Stafford Student Loans (unsubsidized)

Available to all students regardless of need. Loan amounts are the same as for
the need-based subsidized program. However, under this program, borrowers do
not qualify for federal interest subsidy payments, thus interest accrues while the
student is in school. Repayment of principal begins six months after the student is
no longer enrolled half-time. The interest rate is variable, capped at 9 percent and
is based on the 91 -day T-bill rate plus 3.1 percent. Separate application required.
Note: Students must file an application for need-based financial aid to be consid-
ered for one of these loans, A determination must first be made that the student is
not eligible for a need-based subsidized loan. (See "How to Apply for Need-Based
Financial Aid.")

How To Apply for Need-Based Financial Aid

• Students must be accepted for admission to Elon before financial aid will
be awarded. However, do not wait until you are notified of your acceptance
before starting the financial aid application process. The sooner you complete
the aid application process, the better chance you have of receiving maximum
awards. Continuing students must be making satisfactory academic progress as
defined by the college for financial aid purposes.

• As soon after January 1, 1994, as possible, complete a Free Application for
Federal Student Aid and, if you wish to be considered for all aid programs
(not just federal programs), a Financial Aid Form (FAF) and send the forms
and requested fees to the designated processors. The Federal Free Form and
FAF are scheduled to be available in late November. If you file only the Federal
Free Form, the college will not receive the results unless you send them to us.
If you file the FAF and remit the proper fees, the college will receive directly
from CSS the results of both the Federal Free Form and the FAF. NOTE: No
form is perfect and sometimes special situations or circumstances cannot be
adequately addressed when filling one out. If this is the case, Elon encourages
families and students to call or write the Financial Planning Office. Adjustments
can sometimes be made to reflect these special circumstances.

• Submit an Elon Aid Application to the Financial Planning Office.

ADMISSIONS, FINANCES AND FINANCIAL AID

• If the Student previously attended a college or university other than Elon,
request a Financial Aid Transcript from each school. Financial Aid Transcripts
are required whether or not the student received any aid at the other institutions.

• Notify the Financial Planning Office of any scholarships, grants or loans you will
be receiving from any source other than Elon College.

• Elon College's priority deadline for awarding financial aid is April 1. Be sure to
begin the filing process early enough so that your file is complete by that date.

Payment Options

VISA/MasterCard

Elon College accepts these charge cards for payment of tuition and fees.

Ten-Month Payment Plan

Charges for the entire academic year, minus financial aid, are divided by
10 for monthly payments from June 1 through March 1 . This plan is administered
by a third party.

Endowed Scholarships

The following scholarships are awarded to students who have completed
the application procedures described for need-based aid. Awards are made at
the direction of the Office of Admissions and Financial Planning according to the
guidelines of the individual scholarships. A booklet containing more information
about these endowments, which are established through the generosity of private
donors, is available in the Office of Development.

GENERAL ACADEMIC REGULATIONS

General Academic
Reflations

Registration and Courses 61

Classification

Classifications are made at the beginning of the college year in September.

• Freshman

1-27 semester hours completed

• Sophomore

28-61 semester hours completed

• Junior

62-95 semester hours completed

• Senior

96 or more semester hours completed

Course Load

Sixteen hours of college work per semester is considered the normal student
load. Students who are on academic probation are limited to a maximum load of
13 semester hours in fall and spring semesters.

During the one-month winter term, four hours of college work is the normal
load for all students,

Maximum load for any one semester is as follows:

• Fall and Spring Semesters, 18 semester hours

• Winter Term, 4 semester hours

• Summer Term, 8 semester hours

Any exception to this policy is the responsibility of the Academic
Dean's Office.

Course Registration

Students are expected to register for themselves on the designated days
in August, January and February. Registration information is available to
all students. Registration includes academic advising, selection of courses
and payment of fees. Before preregistration or registration, each student
should consult with his/her academic advisor on course selection. General
Studies requirements, major requirements and other degree requirements.

E L 0 N COLLEGE

However, it is the responsibility of the student, not the academic advisor,
to ensure that all college graduation requirements are met.

Registration is for an entire course, and a student who begins a course must
complete it except in unusual circumstances. Unless the student and his/her
advisor consider it essential, a student should not change his/her schedule
after registration.

Auditing Courses

Persons wishing to attend certain courses regularly without doing the as-
g2 signed preparation or receiving credit may do so with the approval of the Regis-

trar. The cost is $125 for each course.

Changes in Class and Schedule

The college reserves the right to cancel or discontinue any course because
of small enrollment or for other reasons deemed necessary. In order to assure
quality instruction, the college reserves the right to close registration when the
maximum enrollment has been reached. The college reserves the right to make
changes in schedule and/or faculty when necessary.

Credit by Examination (Course Challenge)

A student may receive credit for a course not taken by demonstrating mastery
of its subject matter. To challenge a course, a student must have the approval of
the Dean of Academic Affairs, the chair of the department in which the course
is offered and the professor who will test the student's masteiy of the subject
matter. Whenever possible, the student should consult the professor far enough
in advance of the term in which the examination will be taken to determine
course requirements and standards and to begin to make independent prepara-
tions. However, the student should expect no assistance from the professor other
than being informed of the material to be covered on the examination. Under no
circumstances shall a student be allowed to attend classes of the course being
challenged. The cost for each examination is $185.

Dropping Courses

A student may officially drop any class with a "W" (withdraw without penalty)
through half of the term— this includes the week of examinations. The withdrawal
period applies to the regular semesters, winter term and the summer sessions.
After that date no class may be dropped. Any exception to this policy
is the responsibility of the Academic Dean's office.

A student who withdraws from the college for any reason (except for a
medical reason) receives grades of "W" if the withdrawal is before the designated
half-term time period. After this time a student will receive a "W" or "F" depending
on his/her grades at the time of withdrawal. A student who withdraws from the
college with a medical withdrawal will receive a "WD,"

GENERAL ACADEMIC REGULATIONS

Independent Study

Students may engage in independent study of catalog courses, special topics
and research projects. Independent Study is limited to honors students, juniors
and seniors. A course may not be repeated by Independent Study. Details con-
cerning the procedure for developing an Independent Study proposal may be
obtained in the Registrar's Office.

Overload

A student whose cumulative grade point average is less than 3.0 may not
register for overload hours in any term. See previous page on course load.

Pass/Fail Elective Courses

A student may take two one-semester courses outside the major, minor and
General Studies requirements on a pass/fail basis. The pass/fail option encour-
ages students to enrich their educational experience in subjects outside their
major/minor fields and General Studies requirements in which they may feel
unable to maintain a desirable grade point average. The decision to take a
course pass/fail must be made at registration before the first class period.

Repeat Courses

Courses repeated within four semesters of attendance (excluding winter and
summer sessions) following the first enrollment in the course count only once
in computing the cumulative grade point average. In such cases the most recent
grade is counted rather than any previous grade(s) received. However, a course
repeated more than once will count in the cumulative grade point average each
time it is repeated. (Students receiving Veterans' benefits should consult the V.A.
representative.)

Attendance

Since students must attend classes regularly in order to derive maximum
benefit from their courses, the college strictly and fairly enforces policies govern-
ing classes, and students are responsible for knowing attendance regulations.
Each department establishes its own attendance policy. If unwarranted absences
occur, the Dean of Academic Affairs may suspend the student from the class or
from the college.

Absence From Tests and Examinations

Students who miss scheduled tests and examinations without excusable
reasons may not make up such assignments. Authorization to make up tests
missed for excusable reasons is obtained from the professor of the class. Authori-
zation to make up final examinations missed for excusable reasons is obtained
from the Office of the Dean of Academic Affairs.

E L 0 N COLLEGE

Grades and Reports

GENERAL ACADEMIC REGULATIONS

he/she may change it before the end of the next regular grading period. The change
must be made in writing and have the written approval of the department chair.

An "1" grade signifies incomplete work because of illness, emergency, extreme
hardship or self-paced courses. It is not given for a student missing the final
examination unless excused by the Dean of Academic Affairs upon communica-
tion from the student. The student receiving a grade of "I" completes all work no
later than nine class days after mid-semester grades are due during the following
semester. A final grade is submitted to the Registrar by the instructor the follow-
ing Monday. After this date the "I" grade automatically changes to "F" unless an
extension is granted by the Dean of Academic Affairs.

Grade Point Average (GPA)

The grade point average is computed by dividing the total quality points on
work attempted at Elon College by the number of hours attempted except for
courses with grades of "P," "S," "WD," or "W."

Grade Reports

Students are graded at mid-semester as well as at the end of each semester.
Mid-semester grades serve as progress reports and are not entered on students'
permanent records.

Dean's List

The Dean's List recognizes and encourages excellence in academic work. A
student who has no grade below a "B-" and a grade point average of at least 3.4
in a minimum of 12 semester hours in any semester is placed on the Dean's List
for the following semester. Those students who have no grade below an "A-" in
a minimum of 12 semester hours in any semester are placed on the Dean's A list.
Classes passed on a Pass/Fail basis or classes with grades of "S," "WD," or "W"
are not included in Dean's List eligibility.

Graduation With Honors

Students completing at least 66 credit hours at Elon College may be graduated
with honors. Candidates for graduation with an average of 3.9 or above are
graduated summa cum laude; those with 3.7 or above, magna cum laude; and
those with 3.4 or above, cum laude. In computing eligibility for honors, only work
attempted at Elon College will be used.

Elon College provides a comprehensive Honors Program for all students of all
majors. Emphasis is placed on honors courses, special academic advising, prepara-
tion for graduate school and special activities. Honors Program students who
complete a minimum of twenty-five hours of honors experience and maintain
a cumulative GPA of 3.2 will receive "Honors Fellow" recognition at graduation.

Access to Student Educational Records

Elon College complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of
1974. This Act protects the privacy of educational records, establishes the right
of students to inspect and review their educational records and provides guide-
lines for the correction of inaccurate or misleading data through informal and
formal hearings. Students also have the right to file complaints with the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office (FERPA) concerning alleged failures
by the institution to comply with the Act.

Questions concerning the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act may be
referred to the Office of the Registrar.

Transcripts of Student Records

Requests for copies of a student's record should be made to the Office of
the Registrar. All transcripts reflect the student's complete academic record.
No transcripts are issued without the written authorization of the student. No
transcript is issued for a student who has a financial obligation to the college.

Work at Other Institutions

Students who plan to take courses at other institutions during summer
sessions must have the prior written permission of the Registrar. Currently
enrolled students must have a minimum 2.0 GPA in order to transfer course
credit from another institution to Elon College. After completion of such
courses, the student presents anofficial transcript of his record to the Registrar.

Academic Standards and Withdrawal

Academic Standing

Academic standing is determined by the earned grade point average for any
one semester of attendance and for cumulative work. A student whose cumula-
tive grade point average falls below 2.0 is reviewed by the Academic Standing
Committee and placed on academic probation or academic suspension.

Probation

Students are notified that their grade point average is below 2.0, that they
are limited to a maximum load of 14 semester hours, and that three consecutive
semesters on probation will result in suspension.

Suspension

Students are separated from Elon College and one academic semester must
elapse before they are eligible for readmission.

GENERAL ACADEMIC REGULATIONS

In order to continue at the College a student must earn a minimum grade
point average each semester of 1 .0 and at the end of spring semester have:

• Freshman

1-27 semester hours completed, 1.6 grade point average

• Sophomore

28-61 semester hours completed, 1.7 grade point average

• Junior

62-95 semester hours completed, 1.8 grade point average

• Senior

96 semester hours completed, 2.0 grade point average 57

Any student failing to meet these guidelines will be academically ineligible for
the next semester and suspended from the college. During the suspension period
which includes fall or spring semester, the student may apply for readmission
and, if readmitted, will be placed on academic probation. A student who is
suspended a second time for academic reasons is normally not readmitted
to the college.

Dismissal

The college reserves the right to suspend or dismiss any student(s) when
it believes that such action is in the best interest of the institution and/or the
student(s). This action will take place only after careful consideration with the
student(s) in question and all other parties with information pertinent to the
matter at hand.

Withdrawal

If for any reason a student concludes that he/she must leave the college on
a temporary or long-term basis, he/she must confer with the Office of the Dean
of Student Affairs and the Dean of Academic Affairs to formalize plans. Faculty
will be requested to report student progress in class at the time of withdrawal by
indicating either a "W" or "F" grade. A student withdrawing with medical reasons
will receive grades of "WD." The official record of the student cannot be cleared
until the withdrawal is complete.

financial and managerial accounting plus an introduction to taxation, auditing and
commercial law. The accounting program prepares the graduate to be a professional
staff accountant in public accounting, industry and not-for-profit organizations. This
degree can also serve as a basis for graduate study in accounting and other fields,
including business administration and law.

A student must be admitted to the Love School of Business before taking certain
upper level courses required for the major. Most students can qualify for admission
to the Love School of Business when they have completed their sophomore year.

BIOLOGY AND ALLIED HEALTH

Chair, Department of Biology and Allied Health: Associate Professor Mason

Professors: H. House, Rao

Associate Professors: N. Harris

Assistant Professors: Gallucci, Kingston, Ulrich

Part-time Instructors: Claar, Davidson

Biology is the study of life in all its diverse forms. As a species, we have always
been deeply fascinated by other living creatures. Early man's dependence on other
animals and plants for food, medicine, and shelter fostered an appreciation for life's
interconnectedness. Modern society has rediscovered these relationships in the face
of such challenges as global warming, rain forest destruction, AIDS, rising cancer
rates and industrial pollution.

Our approach to biology at Elon College stresses hands-on experiences in the
classroom, laboratory and field. The course of study includes off-campus experiential
opportunities and research seminars that encourage creative approaches to biological
problems. The focus is on science as a process, not a collection of established facts.

The faculty strives to provide students with a high quality program that enables
them to (I) develop critical thinking and problem solving skills to better understand
and meet present and future biological challenges; (2) develop competency in
information retrieval, use and analysis; (3) develop an understanding of the latest

BIOLOGY AND ALLIED HEALTH

technologies utilized in biological investigation; (4) acquire broad-based knowledge of
biological concepts from molecules to ecosystems; and (5) acquire an experiential
learning opportunity through either research, internship or laboratory assistantship.

The medical technology curriculum involves undergraduate preparation at Elon
College and completion of the clinical curriculum at Moses H. Cone Memorial
Hospital, where the affiliated hospital-based program is located. Admission to the
affiliated program is competitive and based on overall GPA, evaluation by faculty and
personal interviews.

In any of Elon's biology offerings, students receive a strong foundation in biology
that prepares them for graduate studies, medical and other allied health related
PQ professional schools, teaching and industry.

The Department of Biology and Allied Health offers programs leading to the
Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Biology, the Bachelor
of Science degree with a major in Medical Technology, and a minor concentration in

Assistant Professors: O'Mara, Peterson, Strempek

The Business Administration program at Elon College provides the student an
education sought by both profit and not-for-profit organizations and companies in
every sector of global society. In addition to core courses in accounting, finance,
management, marketing and operations, the student concentrates in one of either
finance, management, marketing, international management or management informa-
tion systems. Students may qualify for entry as a business major during the junior year.

With business study and the general studies program blended together, the student
obtains a well rounded education most sought after by recruiters from industry,
government and other organizations for a professional career.

Students with a degree in Business Administration are among the best prepared
for most of the top 20 careers of the future as defined recently by Business Week. The
business faculty's style of instruction is practical, based on theories presented in text
books. That style is possible because the faculty has extensive industry experience in
addition to post-graduate qualification in the field in which they teach. Students are
exposed to use of the computer in analysis and presentation, case analyses and group
projects which are meant to reflect real situations as much as possible.

Graduates in business administration are ready to begin professional careers in
every facet of American organizations requiring business skills. The approximation
of business problems in the classroom gives the student an understanding of possible
situation types faced in a career. The sound preparation in liberal studies and business
administration makes the Elon business major a good investment for professional
success.

Part-time Instructor: D. Davis

The Department of Chemistry offers courses of study leading to either a Bachelor
of Arts degree (requiring 45 semester hours credit), the Bachelor of Science degree
(62 semester hours credit) or a minor in Chemistry (24 semester hours credit).

Students who major in Chemistry are qualified for many pursuits. They may
choose to: work in chemical industry; continue advanced studies in chemistry; take 91

professional training in medicine, dentistry or other health-related fields; prepare to
teach at the secondary level; or pursue opportunities in related fields (environmental
science, forensics, business and industry).

One of the components of Elon's chemistry program is the opportunity for
students to engage with faculty in undergraduate research during the junior and
senior years. The results of the research projects are presented at local, regional
and national scientific meetings.

Another key feature of the program is the introduction and use of instrumentation
in the first-year general chemistry sequence and its continued emphasis throughout
the chemistry curriculum. Student participation in assisting in laboratory instruction
is strongly advised.

Professor: Tiemann

Associate Professor: Baxter

Assistant Professors: Hart, Holt, Larson, Lilly

Economics explores a broad range of questions about society and uses a wide
variety of methods to answer those questions. The courses offered by the Economics
Department are designed to help students develop economic reasoning — a particular
way of looking at the world that is useful in government service, business, the law and
many other fields.

Economics students at Elon develop their ability to use economic reasoning by
finding costs and benefits and by making decisions based on those costs and benefits.
The goal of the economic faculty is to teach students to apply what they know about
how the world works in making decisions about what the government, a business or
a citizen should do.

Elon's Economics Department is particularly strong in experimental economics,
public policy and heterodox economics.

Eton's education program prepares teachers for careers in the elementary, middle
and high school grades. To do this, study emphasizes practical hands-on experience
as well as educational theory and methods classes on campus. Yearly field experi-
ences in public school classrooms begin the first year and culminate with a semester
of full-time teaching in the student's preferred licensure area.

Elon is widely recognized for the success of its teacher education program, which
is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, and is
one of only two private colleges in the state selected to offer the prestigious N.C.
Teaching Fellows Program.

Elon College offers programs leading to N.C. licensure in Elementary Education,
Middle Grades Education, special subject areas for grades K-12 and in seven areas at
the secondary level. The goal of the undergraduate program in Education is to foster
in the student:

106

EDUCATION

the knowledge of the purposes of education and the role of the school in our
democratic society

the understanding of the role of the teacher as decision maker

the knowledge and skills required for developing competence in the various
teacher roles

a belief in the dignity and worth of each individual

the knowledge of the process of human growth and development

the knowledge of planning for instruction utilizing various teaching methodologies,
materials and organizational patterns

knowledge of the subject matter in school curriculum

competence in evaluating student learning

the knowledge and skills necessary to maintain a- classroom environment that
facilitates learning and to accommodate the learning needs of exceptional and
culturally diverse students

• a desire for professional affiliation, lifelong learning and continuing professional
growth and development

The student who successfully completes any of the teacher education programs
at Elon College will be eligible for licensure to teach in North Carolina. The State of
North Carolina is party to the Interstate Certification Compact which qualifies Elon
College graduates also to be licensed in all states party to this Compact.

Currently there are 26 states which have entered into this reciprocity agreement.
Any student planning to teach in a state not a part of the Interstate Certification
Compact should obtain a copy of the licensure requirements for a public school
teacher from the State Superintendent of Education of the state in which the student
plans to teach.

Before being admitted into the Teacher Education Program, the student must
make application to the program, be recommended by the appropriate major depart-
ment, be interviewed and approved by the Teacher Education Committee and meet
minimum score requirements on the tests of General Knowledge and Communication
Skills of the National Teacher's Examination.* North Carolina requires the following
minimum scores: GK-645, CS-646, and a GPA of 2.5 for all coursework completed at
the time of admission. After admission, failure to maintain a minimum GPA of 2.5
will result in dismissal from the program.

In all cases, approval for admission to the program is subject to the discretion
of the Teacher Education Committee, which bases its decision not only on the above
factors, but also on satisfactory command of standard English usage (written and oral)
and mental, physical, moral and emotional acceptability for teaching. The Teacher
Education Committee may, at its discretion, dismiss a student from the Teacher
Education Program.

Application forms for the Teacher Education Program are available in the office
of the Department of Education and must be filed by September 15 or February 15 of
the semester immediately prior to the beginning of the student's junior year. A student
must be unconditionally admitted to the program before being permitted to take
education courses beyond the 200 level.

To be recommended for teacher licensure, a student must meet all academic
requirements and have a GPA minimum of 2.5. A student must also meet the mini-

EDUCATION

mum score on the Test of Professional Knowledge (North Carolina requires a mini-
mum score of 646) and the Specialty Area Test (minimum scores for this test vary
with content area) and have a recommendation from the school system in which
student teaching was completed.

All students who are education majors or who already hold a Bachelor's degree
and are seeking only licensure are subject to the decisions and regulations of the N.C.
State Board of Education. These decisions and regulations are binding on the student
on the date and time specified by the Board.

* All students planning to teach in a state other than North Carolina must contact
the appropriate state's Department of Public Instruction and secure its standards
for scores on the NTE.

At Elon College, the teacher education programs are fully approved by the N.C. State
Board of Education. While a student ordinarily may graduate and be licensed under the
catalog requirements in effect at the time the student is admitted to the Teacher
Education Program, the Board may mandate changes in standards of approved
teacher education programs, requiring students to modify or add to their original
degree programs to be eligible for licensure upon completion of graduation require-
ments. Students should consult their advisor about current program requirements.

The field of English studies is quite diverse. It involves the theoretical study
of literature, language and writing, as well as the practice of literary criticism and
analysis, creative writing, and other kinds of writing.

The English Department, therefore, provides a balanced curriculum that
includes all these elements. The department also offers a major in English with
teacher certification for those wishing to teach at the secondary level. Minors in
literature and creative writing, along with an interdisciplinary minor in professional
writing, are additional options.

A group of six core courses in literature, language study and writing beyond
the freshman level, ensures that English majors have experience in the three principal
areas of the discipline. The English curriculum also encourages majors to follow their
own talents and interests further by requiring, in addition to the common core, one
of four distinct concentrations: literature, writing, creative writing or English teacher
certification.

A major in English requires 40-42 semester hours. The core requirements,
above ENG 1 10, are:

An ENG 200-level literature course
(English Education majors must take ENG 221,
British Literature I or ENG 222, British Literature II)

An ENG 200-level or above writing course
(English Education majors must take ENG 319,
Writing Center Workshop)

An ENG 200-level or above language course
(English Education majors must take ENG 205, Grammar)

Students may like to note that, if they are planning a career in the law, courses
such as Philosophy 1 13, Critical Thinking, and English 304, Rhetorical Theory, will
be particularly useful. Pre-law students should also work with advisors to arrange

ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES

Coordinator: Associate Professor Mason

Advisory Committee: Professors: Brumbaugh, Chase, R Harris

Associate Professors: Arcaro, Barbour, Gooch, Weston

Assistant Professor: Kingston

Environmental Studies is a broad field in which environmental issues and problems
are best examined using applications from the social sciences, life and physical sciences
and humanities. Elon College offers a B.S. in environmental studies with a concentra-
tion in either environmental policy or field science. The program is truly interdiscipli-
nary, since environmental concerns are investigated from a holistic perspective.

A healthy environment is critical to the world's future. Overpopulation, pollution
and natural resources depletion affect everyone. As our awareness of the problem
grows, so does our need to find effective long-lasting solutions. The environmental
studies professional must have a fundamental understanding of the sciences (especially
biology and chemistry), economics, law, ethics and public policy.

The program— purposeful and well-balanced with a strong core— enables students
to focus their personal preferences through upper-level courses emphasizing policy or
field investigation. However, the curriculum does concentrate on the essential scientific
knowledge needed to create realistic solutions to environmental problems.

The goals of the environmental studies program are: (1) to provide students
with a broad interdisciplinary foundation for understanding natural resources issues;
(2) to develop students' understanding of economic activities and their role in natural
resources management and the decision-making process regarding environmental
issues; (3) to enhance students' decision-making capabilities in the area of environ-
mental conservation and citizen advocacy for balance between economic develop-
ment and environmental protection; (4) to build students' knowledge of the basic
scientific concepts that govern the operation of natural ecosystems; (5) to adequately
prepare students for employment in responsible professional positions in environmen-
tal policy and environmental risk assessment in the public and private sectors; and
(6) to prepare students for successful tenures in graduate school programs in environ-
mental policy and science curricula.

GENERAL STUDIES

The General Studies program gives breadth as well as depth to a college educa-
tion. It provides students with opportunities to see the broad view of human civiliza-
tion, experience great ideas and art, and learn the science and math skills that no
contemporary leader or individual thinker can be without.

Through training in writing and other communication skills as well as in learning
to work independently, to think critically and constructively, to handle quantitative
data, to respect cultures world wide, and to develop habits of responsible leadership,
this program develops the whole person. It is a major focus of a college career from
beginning to end-challenging students, preparing them for both leadership and
independent thought, and, most of all, deepening and enriching their lives.

The Department of Mathematics offers programs leading to the A.B. or B.S. degree
with a major in mathematics. A minor concentration is available for students majoring
in another discipline.

MATHEMATICS

Mathematics is an excellent major for the student whose immediate objective is
to acquire a good liberal arts education. Students who complete a bachelor's degree
in mathematics may choose several post-graduate alternatives, including an advanced
degree in either mathematics or another closely related field (computer science,
biometiy, information science, statistics, operations research).

Students who combine mathematics with another discipline that uses mathemat-
ics can also pursue graduate work in the second discipline. These areas include
biology, chemistry, economics, medicine, physics and many of the social science
disciplines. In addition, mathematics majors may teach at the secondary level or work
in business, industry or government positions which emphasize analytical reasoning.

Elon College, in cooperative agreement with North Carolina A&T State University,
offers an Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) program.

The Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps program provides a viable elective
program for both male and female students. The program is divided into a basic course
and an advanced course. These are normally completed during a four-year period.
However, it is possible for veterans and other students who elect to undergo special
training to complete the program in two years.

Programs of Instruction

Programs of instruction for the Army ROTC include a four-year program and a
two-year program. The four-year program consists of a two-year basic course, a two-
year advanced course and the advanced ROTC Summer Camp. The two-year program
encompasses a basic ROTC Summer Camp, a two-year advanced course and the
advanced ROTC Summer Camp.

Basic Course

The basic course is normally taken during the freshman and sophomore years.
The purpose of this instruction is to introduce the student to basic military subjects:
branches of the Army, familiarization with basic weapons, equipment and techniques,
military organization and functions and the techniques of leadership and command. It
is from the students who successfully complete this instruction that the best qualified
are selected for the advanced course which leads to an officer's commission.

Credit for the basic course can be obtained by successful completion of the
following courses:

MS 111. Introduction of Citizen/Soldier 1 sh

MS 112. Introduction to U.S. Military Forces 1 sh

MS 141,142. Leadership Laboratory 1 sh/ea

Successful completion of Military Science 251, or prior service in the Armed
Forces, can be used to obtain appropriate credit for the basic course.

Advanced Course

students who receive appropriate credit for the basic course and meet eligibility
standards are admitted to the advanced course on a best qualified basis. Successful
completion of the advanced course qualifies the student for a commission as a
Second Lieutenant in one of the branches of the United States Army, Army
Reserves or Army National Guard. The following courses are required for
completion of the advanced course:

Two- Year Program

This program is designed for junior college students or sophomores at four-year
institutions who have not taken ROTC. A basic six week summer training period after
the sophomore year takes the place of the basic course required of students in the
traditional four-year program. When a student with two years of college has success-
fully completed the basic summer training, he/she is eligible for the advanced ROTC
course in his/her junior and senior years. The advanced course, which leads to an
officer commission, is the same for students in either the two-year program or the
four-year programs.

Philosophy— the very name means "love of wisdom"— lies at the heart of a
liberal arts education. Philosophy at Elon has both a wisdom orientation for exploring
enduring human concerns and a radical intent to enhance our life together and our
care for the earth.

Philosophical study focuses on three sets of skills: 1) critical and constructive
thinking— aiding students in identifying, analyzing and offering solutions to problems;
2) ethical practice— exploring ways to act wisely and effectively in our life with others,
and 3) interpretive understanding— allowing students to bridge the meaning and value
systems of diverse individuals, cultures and epochs.

Such skills are valuable for law and leadership, ministry and the helping profes-
sions, citizenship and service, and for deepening the quality of our lives. At 36
semester hours, the philosophy major is designed to allow room for a double major
or a career-related minor.

Physics is the great intellectual web that underlies our understanding of the
universe in which we live. In the Physics Department, the faculty seeks to elucidate
that web of theory and experiment, studying not only its broad outlines and appealing
symmetries, but also its delicate subtleties and elegant construction.

With faculty in both theoretical and experimental physics, Elon's program
offers a wide variety of courses for science and non-science majors, including
service courses for biology, chemistry, and mathematics as well as calculus-based
Introductory Physics for the pre-engineer.

Our major and minor curricula begin with a three-semester introduction to the
field and encompass focused courses that explore the major aspects of physics. Strong
grounding in the "Classical" study of the mechanical and electrodynamic world is
established before emphasis moves on to dynamical systems and field theoty.

All of our courses integrate laboratory and use of the computer beginning with
introductory courses, in which students work collaboratively and incorporate their
experimental and problem-solving work. At higher levels, experiments ranging from
gamma ray spectroscopy to computational simulation are integrated into each course.
Advanced students also study the theories of quantum mechanics and relativity and
those pursuing the B.S. degree conduct an individual research project.

Physics is a rich and complete program which prepares graduates for a variety
of scientific careers, engineering, teaching or for any field in which critical thinking
and problem-solving are crucial.

POLITICAL SCIENCE

Chair, Department of Political Science and Public Administration: Professor Taylor
Professors: C. Brumbaugh, Zarzar
Associate Professor: Anderson
Assistant Professor: Helvey
Part-time Instructors: Colbert, Craig

Political Science seeks to understand the ideas, individuals and institutions
engaged in making public policies that influence the lives of people in communities
ranging from local to global. Courses investigate current issues and opinions, the
process by which voters or leaders make decisions, the behavior of organized groups
and governmental agencies, the relationships between nations and classic questions
of how societies balance freedom, social justice, order and efficiency.

Students in this discipline are encouraged to: develop critical reading, writing
and research skills (often using computer programs); participate in role-playing simula-
tions of local governments, legislatures, the United Nations and international relafions;
work as interns at the local and state level in government agencies, election campaigns
and law firms; and spend a semester in Washington, D.C., working in executive and
judicial agencies, the U.S. Congress, interest groups and international organizations.

The department offers majors in Political Science and Public Administration as
well as minors in these fields and in International Studies. Students can concentrate
their course work in one or more sub-fields: American Government, International
Relations, Comparative Politics, Public Administration and Political Theory. These
programs help prepare students to enter graduate and law school, and pursue a wide

students enter fields such as law enforcement, court counseling, daycare, group home
counseling, YMCA program work, personnel and entry level positions in mental
health. Others opt to go on to graduate school in a variety of programs, including:
clinical, counseling or school psychology; social work; special education; law and
many others. Psychology majors receive both a liberal arts education and practice in
the skills of research, professional writing and speaking, and are therefore prepared

SOCIAL SCIENCE

Chair, Department of Sociology: Professor T. Henricks
Coordinator: Assistant Professor Curry

Social science education, designed for prospective secondary school social studies
teachers, is an integrated, multi-disciplinary study of interactions among people in
diverse cultural and geophysical environments. It examines political institutions,
economic processes, historical events and social forces which influence human
behavior and produce continually changing relationships and ideas.

192

SOCIAL SCIENCE

The social science education program helps students understand major social,
economic, political and environmental issues in both historical and contemporary
settings. The program also focuses on the relationship between the person and
the larger society. In that context, students are encouraged to reflect upon their
own values and behavior. Part of this process emphasizes the development of
analytical and communication skills which help people solve problems and make
decisions rationally.

Elon's social science education program provides students with an opportunity
to master the competencies required by the North Carolina State Department of
Public Instruction, including the ability to: I) formulate objectives; 2) identify and
use available resources; 3) read and interpret data; 4) select and create teaching
strategies; 5) use facts, develop concepts and formulate generalizations; 6) design
and use assessment and evaluation techniques; 7) use democratic classroom
methods; 8) recognize and deal with sensitive and controversial issues; and
9) use computer technology relevant to the social sciences.

Sociology and anthropology provide the student with an exceptional understanding
of the world by developing an awareness of how society and culture shape our lives and
perspectives. Studying sociology and anthropology is more like a journey in which we
learn to stand outside ourselves to see our world with new eyes.

Sociologists and anthropologists study all forms and dimensions of human social
and cultural behavior from the institutional to the interpersonal. For example: How
do people select a mate?" How are people organized into groups such as sororities,
fraternities and sports teams? How do institutions such as the family, economy,
government, religion and health care develop and affect our lives?"

With their wide scope, sociology and anthropology are linked to all the disciplines
and are complementary to any major found at Elon. The U.S. is a culturally diverse
society and solutions to our interpersonal, community, national and international
problems demand an understanding of society and culture.

The socio-cultural perspective students develop through sociology and anthropol-
ogy is an asset not only in their personal lives, but also in business, politics, econom-
ics, health care, education, health and fitness, social services, the mental health field,
urban planning, family planning and many other professions.

WOMEN'S STUDIES

Coordinator: Professor Granowsky

Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary program begun nationally in the 1970s— at
Elon in 1988— with the goal of rethinking academic disciplines from the perspective of
women's experience. This endeavor has challenged theoretical and empirical under-
standings of women and men and produced a wealth of new scholarship. Students
report that the study of women's issues and gender questions helps them think
critically, analyze material from diverse perspectives and make informed decisions
about their lives both before and after they graduate.

A minor in Women's Studies requires the following:
Sixteen semester hours chosen from these courses:

History

The site of the new college was known as Mill Point, located four m.iles west
of Burlington, North Carolina. In its early years, Elon survived many difficulties.
The student body population was severely reduced during World War I, and a
major fire in 1923 destroyed most of the campus buildings. Within three years,
a new campus emerged from the ruins: The five central buildings, including
Alamance, were built at this time. The Great Depression and World War II also
created challenges for the college.

Elon experienced a decade of unprecedented growth during the 1 980s. During
this time, applications doubled and enrollment increased 35 percent, making Elon
one of the fastest growing colleges in the region. Dozens of academic and student
life programs were added to enrich the quality of an Elon education. Special
classes and volunteer programs were developed to provide students with leader-
ship and service opportunities. In fall 1984, the college began offering a master
of business administration degree, and in the fall 1986, a master of education
degree. The college physical plant grew during the 1980s as well. Total campus
acreage doubled, and square footage of buildings increased 73 percent. The
college also made major investments in computer and library technology and
equipment for the sciences and communications.

During this time, financial support for the college was strong, with annual
revenues increasing more than 200 percent. Counted among Elon's most loyal

benefactors are the alumni: 39 percent make a gift to the college each year, placing
Elon among the top of private colleges and universities in alumni participation.

Elon's forward momentum has continued in the 1990s. In an effort to further
enhance teaching and academic excellence, the college has recently revised the
I General Studies curriculum and converted to a four semester-hour structure. A
I $21 million fund-raising campaign was recently completed — $3 million over the
I original goal. Koury Center's Alumni Memorial Gymnasium was renovated, and
',, Stewart Fitness Center opened in spring 1994. Moseley Center, a new 74,000
f' square-foot campus center, opened in January 1995.

As a result of Elon's accomplishments, Elon was ranked in the top quartile
: of southern regional colleges and universities by U.S. News & World Report's
"1994 College Guide."

Students

From its initial enrollment of 108 students, Elon's student body has grown
steadily. Elon's 3,316 undergraduate and 180 graduate students come from 38
states and 20 foreign countries. In 1994, 35 percent of Elon students were from

the students are women, and the student body includes several racial and socio-
economic groups. Elon College admits students of any race, color, sex, national

Faculty

Elon students benefit from a dedicated staff and an outstanding faculty whose
primary concern is teaching. Faculty members have been chosen because of their
academic preparation, individual initiative and commitment to excellence in
teaching. Approximately 76 percent hold the highest degree in their fields. Many
of Elon's faculty demonstrate their satisfaction with the college with long years
of service. With a student to faculty ratio of 1 7: 1 , Elon chooses to remain small so
that the relationship between faculty and students is friendly informal and lasting.

rewarding, meaningful lives. Its programs are designed to challenge students to
excel intellectually to pursue self-fulfillment and to learn the meaning of service
to others.

18 General Studies

General Studies courses at Elon College provide students the opportunity
to acquire the skills, experiences and knowledge needed to obtain the broad
philosophical, aesthetic, historical and scientific bases for understanding and
evaluating human experience. The college offers all students a broad range of
experience in four areas:

The First-Year Core helps students develop the ability to (1) think clearly and
critically, (2) write clear, correct English prose, (3) evaluate quantitative informa-
tion, improve mathematical reasoning skills and enhance appreciation of the value
of mathematics, and (4) develop an understanding of personal well-being and
lifelong diversity and the possibilities for human communication and cooperation.

The Liberal Studies area emphasizes that an important goal of an under-
graduate education is adaptability since the future will include not only evident
problems but the unforeseen. The four sub-areas in Liberal Studies (expression,
civilization, society and science/analysis) reflect a broad and diversified curricu-
lum designed to prepare students for a future of continued intellectual growth.

General Studies are by nature cumulative and developmental. Thus Elon
College students will revisit these themes throughout their college years from
initial enrollment to graduation.

ELON COLLEGE

Notice of Withdrawal

In order to be eligible for a refund upon withdrawal a student must notify the
Dean of Student Life in writing of his/her intentions. The student must also check
out with the Financial Planning and Bursar's offices. Refunds are calculated as of
the date of withdrawal specified by the Dean of Student Life.

Financial Aid

Elon College believes that no student should be denied a college education
because of limited funds. To the extent possible, eligible students receive aid
through careful planning and various forms of financial assistance.

Financial aid programs vary by source, eligibility criteria and application
procedures. While every effort is made to meet each student's full needs, that
is not always possible, due to a limited amount of aid available. Students will
be offered a financial aid "package" which is an award consisting of one or more
of the following types of aid: scholarships, grants, low-interest loans and campus
employment. Scholarships and grants are "gift assistance" which do not have
to be repaid while loans and work are referred to as "self help." Financial aid
packages may consist of all self help or a combination of self help and gift
assistance. Applying early for financial aid improves your chances for getting
the maximum aid for which you are eligible. Unless the student is a continuing
student, no aid is awarded until the student has been accepted for admission.

TYPES OF FINANCIAL AID BASED ON NEED

There are a variety of need-based financial aid programs. The federal govern-
ment, some states (including North Carolina) and the college itself offer grant, loan
and work-study programs. Grants are funds which do not have to be repaid, loans
to students are generally repayable only after the student is no longer enrolled, and
work-study funds are earned through employment on campus. Many students use
work-study funds to meet their personal financial needs during the school year

E L 0 N COLLEGE

Campus Employment j

Many Elon students assist with college living expenses by working a part-
time job, either on or off campus. The opportunities for campus employment
at Elon are available both to students who qualify for need and to students j
who do not. |

Students in part-time jobs get valuable experience, learn time-management j
skills, build friendships with the office personnel and, in certain cases with the I
approval of the Director of Experiential Education, receive internship credit. \

-2 Loan Options That Are Not Based on Need

Several sources of long-term loan funds are available that are based on credit
worthiness rather than "need." j

Federal Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) i

Parents may borrow up to the cost of education (at Elon, $16,400 for 1995-96)
less any other aid per academic year for each dependent enrolled at least half-
time. Interest rate is variable and is based on the 52 -week T-bill rate plus 3.1 ,
percent with a cap of 10 percent. \

Federal Stafford Student Loans (unsubsidized)

Available to all students regardless of need. Loan amounts are the same as for
the need-based subsidized program. However, under this program, borrowers do
not qualify for federal interest subsidy payments, thus interest accrues while the
student is in school. Repayment of principal begins six months after the student is
no longer enrolled half-time. The interest rate is variable, capped at 9 percent and
is based on the 91 -day T-bill rate plus 3.1 percent. Separate application required.
Note: Students must file an application for need-based financial aid to be consid-
ered for one of these loans. A determination must first be made that the student is
not eligible for a need-based subsidized loan. (See "How to Apply for Need-Based
Financial Aid.")

How To Apply for Need-Based Financial Aid

• Students must be accepted for admission to Elon before financial aid will
be awarded. However, do not wait until you are notified of your acceptance
before starting the financial aid application process. The sooner you complete
the aid application process, the better chance you have of receiving maximum
awards. Continuing students must be making satisfactory academic progress
as defined by the college for financial aid purposes.

• As soon after January 1, 1996, as possible, complete a Free Application for
Federal Student Aid and, if you wish to be considered for all aid programs
(not just federal programs), a Financial Aid Form (FAF) and send the forms
and requested fees to the designated processors. The Federal Free Form and
FAF are scheduled to be available in late November. If you file only the Federal
Free Form, the college will not receive the results unless you send them to

us. If you file the FAF and remit the proper fees, the college will receive

directly from CSS the results of both the Federal Free Form and the FAF.
NOTE: No form is perfect and sometimes special situations or circumstances
cannot be adequately addressed when filling one out. If this is the case, Elon
encourages families and students to call or write the Financial Planning Office.
Adjustments can sometimes be made to reflect these special circumstances.

• Submit an Elon Aid Application to the Financial Planning Office.

• If the student previously attended a college or university other than Elon,
request a Financial Aid Transcript from each school. Financial Aid Transcripts
are required whether or not the student received any aid at the other institutions.

• Notify the Financial Planning Office of any scholarships, grants or loans you will
be receiving from any source other than Elon College.

• Elon College's priority deadline for awarding financial aid is April 1 . Be sure to
begin the filing process early enough so that your file is complete by that date.

Elon College accepts these charge cards for payment of tuition and fees.

Any exception to this policy is the responsibility of the Academic Dean's Office.

Course Registration

Students are expected to register for themselves on the designated days
in August, January and February. Registration information is available to all
students. Registration includes academic advising, selection of courses and
payment of fees. Before preregistration or registration, each student should
consult with his/her academic advisor on course selection. General Studies

it is the responsibility of the student, not the academic advisor, to ensure that
all college graduation requirements are met.

E L 0 N COLLEGE

Auditing Courses

Persons wishing to attend certain courses regularly without doing the
assigned preparation or receiving credit may do so with the approval of
the Registrar. The cost is $125 for each course.

Changes in Class and Schedule

Credit by Examination (Course Challenge)

A student may receive credit for a course not taken by demonstrating mastery
of its subject matter. To challenge a course, a student must have the approval of
the Dean of Academic Affairs, the chair of the department in which the course is
offered and the professor who will test the student's mastery of the subject
matter. Whenever possible, the student should consult the professor far enough
in advance of the term in which the examination will be taken to determine |
course requirements and standards and to begin to make independent prepara-
tions. However, the student should expect no assistance from the professor other
than being informed of the material to be covered on the examination. Under no
circumstances shall a student be allowed to attend classes of the course being
challenged. The cost for each examination is $198.

Dropping Courses

A student may officially drop any class with a "W" (withdraw without
penalty) through half of the term— this includes the week of examinations.
The withdrawal period applies to the regular semesters, classes taught for one
half semester, winter term and the summer sessions. After that date no class
may be dropped. Any exception to this policy is the responsibility of the
Academic Dean's office.

GENERAL ACADEMIC REGULATIONS

Independent Study

Students may engage in independent study of catalog courses, special
topics and research projects. Independent Study is limited to honors students,
juniors and seniors. A course may not be repeated by Independent Study
Details concerning the procedure for developing an Independent Study
proposal may be obtained in the Registrar's Office.

Overload

A student whose cumulative grade point average is less than 3.0 may not
register for overload hours in any term. See page 61 on course load.

Pass/Fail Elective Courses

A Student may take two one-semester courses outside the major, minor
and General Studies requirements on a pass/fail basis. The pass/fail option
encourages students to enrich their educational experience in subjects outside
their major/minor fields and General Studies requirements in which they may
feel unable to maintain a desirable grade point average. The decision to take
a course pass/fail must be made at registration before the first class period.

Repeat Courses

Courses repeated within four semesters of attendance (excluding winter
and summer sessions) following the first enrollment in the course count only
once in computing the cumulative grade point average. In such cases the most
recent grade is counted rather than any previous grade(s) received. However, a
course repeated more than once will count in the cumulative grade point average
each time it is repeated. (Students receiving Veterans' benefits should consult the
V.A. representative.)

Attendance

Since students must attend classes regularly in order to derive maximum
benefit from their courses, the college strictly and fairly enforces policies govern-
ing classes, and students are responsible for knowing attendance regulations.
Each department establishes its own attendance policy If unwarranted absences
occur, the Dean of Academic Affairs may suspend the student from the class or
from the college.

Absence From Tests and Examinations

Students who miss scheduled tests and examinations without excusable
reasons may not make up such assignments. Authorization to make up tests
missed for excusable reasons is obtained from the professor of the class.
Authorization to make up final examinations missed for excusable reasons
is obtained from the Office of the Dean of Academic Affairs.

The faculty strives to provide students with a high quality program that enables
them to (1) develop critical thinking and problem solving skills to better understand
and meet present and future biological challenges; (2) develop competency in
information retrieval, use and analysis; (3) develop an understanding of the latest
technologies utilized in biological investigation; (4) acquire broad-based knowledge
of biological concepts from molecules to ecosystems; and (5) acquire an experiential
learning opportunity through either research, internship or laboratory assistantship.

In any of Elon's biology offerings, students receive a strong foundation in biology
that prepares them for graduate studies, medical and other allied health related
professional schools, teaching and industry.

The department of Biology has divided its laboratory course offerings that serve
as electives into three functional categories to assist students in the development of
a broad based major with the necessary fundamental biological concepts while at the
same time providing the student the flexibility to build a program that meets their
individual interests and needs.

Students may qualify for entry as a business major at the end of the sophomore year.

With business study and the general studies program blended together, the
student obtains a well-rounded education most sought after by recruiters from
industry, government and other organizations for a professional career.

Students with a degree in Business Administration are among the best prepared
for most of the top 20 careers of the future as defined recently by Business Weei:. The
business faculty's style of instruction is practical, based on theories presented in text
books. That style is possible because the faculty has extensive industry experience in
addition to post-graduate qualification in the field in which they teach. Students are
encouraged to use the computer in analysis and presentation, case analyses and

Assistant Professors: Beamon, Howard

Elon's education program prepares teachers for careers in the elementary, middle
and high school grades. To do this, study emphasizes practical hands-on experience
as well as educational theory and methods classes on campus. Yearly field experi-
ences in public school classrooms begin the first year and culminate with a semester
of full-time teaching in the student's preferred licensure area.

Elon College offers programs leading to N.C. licensure in Elementary Education,
Middle Grades Education, Special Education (Specific Learning Disabilities) special
subject areas for grades K-12 and in seven areas at the secondary level. The goal of
the undergraduate program in Education is to foster in the student:
• the knowledge of the purposes of education and the role of the school in our
democratic society

EDUCATION

• the understanding of the role of the teacher as decision maker

• the knowledge and skills required for developing competence in the various teacher roles

• a belief in the dignity and worth of each individual

• the knowledge of the process of human growth and development

• the knowledge of planning for instruction utilizing various teaching methodologies,
materials and organizational patterns

• knowledge of the subject matter in school curriculum

• competence in evaluating student learning

• the knowledge and skills necessary to maintain a classroom environment that
facilitates learning and to accommodate the learning needs of exceptional and
culturally diverse students

• a desire for professional affiliation, lifelong learning and continuing professional
growth and development

Currently there are 26 states which have entered into this reciprocity agreement.
Any student planning to teach in a state not a part of the Interstate Certification Compact
should obtain a copy of the licensure requirements for a public school teacher from the
State Superintendent of Education of the state in which the student plans to teach.

Before being admitted into the Teacher Education Program, the student must
make application to the program, be recommended by the appropriate major depart-
ment, be interviewed and approved by the Teacher Education Committee and meet
minimum score requirements on the Pre-Professional Skills Tests. *North Carolina
requires the following minimum scores: PPST Reading- 1 76; PPST Mathematics- 1 73;
and PPST Writing- 1 73 and a GPA of 2.5 for all coursework completed at the time of
admission. After admission, failure to maintain a minimum GPA of 2.5
will result in dismissal from the program.

To be recommended for teacher licensure, a student must meet all academic
requirements and have a GPA minimum of 2.5. A student must also meet the mini-
mum score on the Test of Professional Knowledge (North Carolina requires a mini-
mum score of 646) and the Specialty Area Test (minimum scores for this test vary
with content area) and have a recommendation from the school system in which
student teaching was completed.

EDUCATION

All Students who are education majors or who already hold a Bachelor's degree
and are seeking only licensure are subject to the decisions and regulations of the N.C.
State Board of Education. These decisions and regulations are binding on the student
on the date and time specified by the Board.

* All students planning to teach in a state other than North Carolina must contact
the appropriate state's Department of Public Instruction and secure its standards
for appropriate test requirements.

At Elon College, the teacher education programs are fully approved by the N.C.
State Board of Education. While a student ordinarily may graduate and be licensed
under the catalog requirements in effect at the time the student is admitted to
the Teacher Education Program, the Board may mandate changes in standards
of approved teacher education programs, requiring students to modify or add
to their original degree programs to be eligible for licensure upon completion
of graduation requirements. Students should consult their advisor about current
program requirements.

ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES

Coordinator: Associate Professor Mason

Advisory Committee: Professors: Brumbaugh, Chase, F. Harris

Associate Professors: Arcaro, Barbour, Gooch, Weston ,

Assistant Professor: Kingston

A healthy environment is critical to the world's future. Overpopulation, pollution
and natural resources depletion affect everyone. As our awareness of the problem
grows, so does our need to find effective long-lasting solutions. The environmental
studies professional must have a fundamental understanding of the sciences
(especially biology and chemistry), economics, law, ethics and public policy.

The program— purposeful and well-balanced with a strong core— enables students
to focus their personal preferences through upper-level courses emphasizing policy or
field investigation. However, the curriculum does concentrate on the essential
scientific knowledge needed to create realistic solutions to environmental problems.

The goals of the environmental studies program are: (1) to provide students
with a broad interdisciplinary foundation for understanding natural resources issues;
(2) to develop students' understanding of economic activities and their role in natural
resources management and the decision-making process regarding environmental
issues; (3) to enhance students' decision-making capabilities in the area of environ-
mental conservation and citizen advocacy for balance between economic develop-
ment and environmental protection; (4) to build students' knowledge of the basic
scientific concepts that govern the operation of natural ecosystems; (5) to adequately
prepare students for employment in responsible professional positions in environmen-
tal policy and environmental risk assessment in the public and private sectors;
and (6) to prepare students for successful tenures in graduate school programs
in environmental policy and science curricula.

program through which they can gain a broad knowledge of international affairs as
well as expertise on one of the world's regions. Study abroad experiences and foreign
language study form integral parts of the program. Students, with the support of their
advisers, have considerable freedom in designing their own program of study.

The major may form an attractive double major for students from a variety of
disciplines, such as political science, history and foreign languages. It also might
be profitable combined with a business minor. It should provide an educational
background for those seeking international affairs careers in government,
non-governmental organizations (development/humanitarian), travel and business.

Students are strongly encouraged to include a study abroad experience in their
programs. Under specified provisions of the program, up to 16 credit hours of foreign
study can be included.

FILM STUDIES

Coordinator: Assistant Professor Johnson

Film Studies is a program designed to coordinate, facilitate and encourage the
study of cinema. During the past seventy-five years, the study of film has grown from
an academic curiosity to a legitimate scholarly pursuit at most colleges and universi-
ties in the United States. Film is now established as one of the preeminent art forms
of the twentieth century. Unfortuately most Americans possess only a superficial
understanding of the art of the Cinema. Film studies courses encourage critical
thinking and detailed examination of cinematic history, theory, criticism and
aesthetics. This contributes to a better understanding and appreciation of the film art.

A minor in Film Studies requires the following:

Twenty semester hours selected from the following:

POLITICAL SCIENCE

chair, Department of Political Science and Public Administration: Professor Taylor
■ Professors: C. Brumbaugh, Zarzar
J Associate Professor: Anderson
'[ Assistant Professor: Helvey
: Part-time Instructors: Colbert, Craig

Political Science seeks to understand the ideas, individuals and institutions
' engaged in making public policies that influence the lives of people in communities
ranging from local to global. Courses investigate current issues and opinions, the
process by which voters or leaders make decisions, the behavior of organized groups
and governmental agencies, the relationships between nations and classic questions
of how societies balance freedom, social justice, order and efficiency.

Students in this discipline are encouraged to: develop critical reading, writing
and research skills (often using computer programs); participate in role-playing
simulations of local governments, legislatures, the United Nations and international
relations; work as interns at the local and state level in government agencies, election
campaigns and law firms; and spend a semester in Washington, D.C., working in
executive and judicial agencies, the U.S. Congress, interest groups and international
organizations.

The department offers majors in Political Science and Public Administration as
well as minors in these fields. Students can concentrate their course work in one or
more sub-fields: American Government, International Relations, Comparative Politics,
Public Administration and Political Theory. These programs help prepare students to
enter graduate and law school, and pursue a wide range of careers in legislative,
executive and judicial agencies, business, teaching, journalism, interest group
advocacy, campaign management and international public service.

SOCIOLOGY

Chair, Department of Sociology: Professor Basirico

Professor: T. Henricks

Associate Professors: Arcaro, Bolin

Assistant Professor: Curry

Sociology and anthropology provide the student with an exceptional understand-
ing of the world by developing an awareness of how society and culture shape our
■ lives and perspectives. Studying sociology and anthropology is more like a journey
in which we learn to stand outside ourselves to see our world with new eyes.

Sociologists and anthropologists study all forms and dimensions of human social
and cultural behavior from the institutional to the interpersonal. For example: How
do people select a mate? How are people organized into groups such as sororities,
• fraternities and sports teams? How do institutions such as the family, economy,
government, religion and health care develop and affect our lives?

' With their wide scope, sociology and anthropology are linked to all the disciplines

and are complementary to any major found at Elon. The U.S. is a culturally diverse
society and solutions to our interpersonal, community, national and international
problems demand an understanding of society and culture.

WOMEN'S STUDIES

Coordinator: Professor Granowsky

Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary program begun nationally in the 1970s—
at Elon in 1988— with the goal of rethinking academic disciplines from the perspective
of women's experience. This endeavor has challenged theoretical and empirical
understandings of women and men and produced a wealth of new scholarship.
Students report that the study of women's issues and gender questions helps them
think critically, analyze material from diverse perspectives and make informed
decisions about their lives both before and after they graduate.

A minor in Women's Studies requires the following:

INTRODUCTION

Elon College is a coeducational, residential, church-related college situated on
a spacious campus in the heart of the Piedmont near Burlington, North Carolina.
Named for the Hebrew word for "oak," the college is located in what was once an
oak forest, and many of these majestic trees still grace Elon's campus.

"he Mission of Elon College

in accordance with the provisions of the charter, Elon College aims to provide
its students the opportunity to develop:

• a personal philosophy of life which will be reflected in a sense of integrity
high ethical standards, and significant religious insights and practice;

• an understanding of their responsibilities and rights as citizens in a democratic
society, and a recognition of the intrinsic worth of all individuals;

• a love of learning and sensitivity to aesthetic values sufficient to stimulate
continued intellectual and cultural growth;

• the ability to gather information, to think critically logically, and creatively,
and to communicate effectively;

• a basic knowledge of the humanities, natural sciences and social sciences,
and an appreciation of their interrelationships;

• a level of competence in at least one field of knowledge sufficient to provide
depth of intellectual perspective and preparation for graduate study or
professional activity;

E L 0 N COLLEGE

• an understanding of the principles of mental and physical health essential for
developing a lifestyle of wholeness and well-being;

• an appreciation of the potential for lifelong personal growth and professional
development which their own distinct abilities and aptitudes provide.

In keeping with these educational objectives, Elon College recognizes its
broader responsibilities as an institution of higher learning. The college supports
scholarly and artistic expression by providing the conditions for serious intellec-
tual work by both students and faculty It furthermore promotes open and honest
inquiry, respect for persons of all circumstances, sensitivity to diverse cultural
traditions, an understanding of the economic environment, an appreciation for
the value of work and habits of democratic citizenship. As participants in a
community of learners, all members of the college are expected to enact the
ideals of personal integrity and public responsibility

History

Elon experienced a decade of unprecedented growth during the 1980s. During
this time, applications doubled and enrollment increased 35 percent, making Elon
one of the fastest growing colleges in the region. Dozens of academic and student
life programs were added to enrich the quality of an Elon education. Special
classes and volunteer programs were developed to provide students with leader-
ship and service opportunities. In fall 1984, the college began offering a master
of business administration degree, and in the fall 1986, a master of education
degree. The college physical plant grew during the 1980s as well. Total campus
acreage doubled, and square footage of buildings increased 73 percent. The
college also made major investments in computer and libraiy technology and
equipment for the sciences and communications.

INTRODUCTION

During this time, financial support for the college was strong, with annual
revenues increasing more than 200 percent. Counted among Elon's most loyal
benefactors are the alumni: 39 percent make a gift to the college each year, placing
Elon among the top of private colleges and universities in alumni participation.

:; Elon's forward momentum has continued in the 1990s. In an effort to further

enhance teaching and academic excellence, the college has recently revised the
General Studies curriculum and converted to a four semester-hour structure. A
$21 million fund-raising campaign was recently completed — $3 million over the

V original goal. Koury Center's Alumni Memorial Gymnasium was renovated, and
Stewart Fitness Center opened in spring 1994. Moseley Center, a new 74,000
square-foot campus center, opened in January 1995.

As a result of Elon's accomplishments, Elon was ranked in the top quartile
of southern regional colleges and universities by U.S. News 6z World Report's
"1994 College Guide."

Students

From its initial enrollment of 108 students, Elon's student body has grown
steadily Elon's 3,323 undergraduate and 156 graduate students come from 37
states and 24 foreign countries. In 1995, 31 percent of Elon students were from
North Carolina and 69 percent were from out-of-state. Slightly more than half of
the students are women, and the student body includes several racial and socio-
economic groups. Elon College admits students of any race, color, sex, national
or ethnic origin and disability without discrimination. This diversity enriches the
life of the community and refiects the nature of American society itself.

Faculty

Elon students benefit from a dedicated staff and an outstanding faculty whose
; primary concern is teaching. Faculty members have been chosen because of their
academic preparation, individual initiative and commitment to excellence in
teaching. Approximately 78 percent hold the highest degree in their fields. Many
of Elon's faculty demonstrate their satisfaction with the college with long years
:■ of service. With a student to faculty ratio of 1 7: 1 , Elon chooses to remain small so
that the relationship between faculty and students is friendly informal and lasting.

Programs

Elon College believes that the study of liberal arts prepares students for
rewarding, meaningful lives. Its programs are designed to challenge students to
excel intellectually to pursue self-fulfillment and to learn the meaning of service
i to others.

E L 0 N COLLEGE

The academic program provides opportunities for each student to develop
a mature proficiency in the use of the English language, an awareness of history
and an appreciation of cultural, social and scientific achievements. The General
Studies courses give students the breadth and background needed for mature .
intellectual development and a lifetime of learning and leadership. The upper- 'i
level courses allow students to concentrate in areas of special interest and in
professional and career-oriented branches of learning. To meet such individual
needs, the academic program includes such features as independent study study
abroad opportunities, internships and cooperative education.

Elon College complements the classroom through a broad range of activities
8 and student life programs that encourage students to find their personal identi-

ties, refine their social skills, broaden their perspectives and create lifetime
friendships.

Academic Calendar

The college's academic year is divided into a 4-1-4 calendar. The fall semester
is a four-month term, ending before Christmas holidays, followed by a one-month
winter term and a four-month spring semester. The one-month winter term offers
opportunities for study abroad, internships and service programs in addition to
specialized courses on campus. Evening classes are offered and a summer
session is held each year.

The calendar is designed to meet the needs of: (1) full-time students who
plan to complete degree requirements within four years, (2) part-time students,

(3) high school seniors who wish to take one or two college-level courses,

Accreditation

Elon College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools to award bachelor's and master's degrees.

General Studies

The First-Year Core helps students develop the ability to (1) think clearly and j
critically, (2) write clear, correct English prose, (3) evaluate quantitative informa-
tion, improve mathematical reasoning skills and enhance appreciation of the value
of mathematics, and (4) develop an understanding of personal well-being and
lifelong diversity and the possibilities for human communication and cooperation.

The Experiential Learning requirement encourages students to engage the ^
world about them actively and to reflect insightfully about those observations.
It is the most visible recognition in the General Studies program of the wholeness
of a liberal education.

The Liberal Studies area emphasizes that an important goal of an undergradu-
ate education is adaptability since the future will include not only evident prob- ,
lems but the unforeseen. The four sub-areas in Liberal Studies (expression,
civilization, society and science/analysis) reflect a broad and diversified curricu-
lum designed to prepare students for a future of continued intellectual growth. .

The Advanced Studies courses give breadth in upper-level courses. The |

Interdisciplinaiy Seminar, which explores subjects from multiple viewpoints, ;i

is an appropriate capstone of a General Studies curriculum that promotes both ;;

breadth and depth of learning. \

General Studies are by nature cumulative and developmental. Thus Elon J
College students will revisit these themes throughout their college years from ]
initial enrollment to graduation. \

The Martha and Spencer Love School of Business

endowment gift to Elon College from the Martha and Spencer Love Foundation.

tions. Qualified graduates may wish to continue their studies in graduate school.

^re-professional Programs

Elon College offers programs that prepare students for professional studies
in such fields as dentistry, engineering, law, medicine and theology. Students
entering any pre-professional program should plan carefully using the catalog

related professions. The committee is composed of faculty members from Elon,
Bowman Gray School of Medicine and Duke University Medical Center. The
committee monitors each student's academic progress and offers helpful advice
on choosing a health profession as well as selecting and applying to medical
schools. It assists students with the application process and provides letters of
recommendation and interviews.

Students interested in a medically related career should meet with the
premedical advisor (Dr. Herbert W. House) and plan their course of study as soon
as possible. Although a concentration of the student's academic work will be in
the sciences, medical and professional schools seek students with well-rounded
academic experiences and well-developed critical thinking skills.

of 1995 Elon graduates participated in internships and co-ops.

ACADEMIC PROGRAM

Study Abroad

study abroad programs enhance the academic program and give students an
opportunity to learn firsthand from other countries and cultures. Approximately
35 percent of 1995 Elon graduates participated in study abroad activities. The
college offers a variety of such opportunities.

Students may elect to spend a semester, either fall or spring, in London. By
selecting from the broad range of courses offered, most of which are taught by
British faculty, students can fulfill General Studies requirements. Through intern-
ships and field research projects, students experience many dimensions of British
culture. Students have access to the University of London's library and student
union facilities. Fall and spring breaks permit extensive European travel. Elon
students may spend a semester or a year in japan at Nagasaki Wesleyan College
or Kansai Gaidai Center for International Education, two settings for the study of
Japanese language and culture. Semester study is also possible through institu-
tional arrangements with the University of Orebro in Orebro, Sweden, and Curtin
University in Perth, Australia.

During the winter term the college offers a study/travel opportunity to
England. This program allows students to spend approximately three weeks
housed in London with opportunities for numerous excursions to historical and
cultural sites in Great Britain. The college also offers other study/travel programs
to various locations that vary from year to year. Some students have spent the
winter term in Costa Rica studying its language, history and culture, or in Belize,
Mexico or Ghana. European studies include a course devoted to the unification of
Europe and a course on World War II with visits to Belgium, France, Germany and
the Netherlands. Other study abroad sites include Italy and Australia. All programs
offer a wide range of course credit.

Summer terms provide still other study abroad possibilities. The college offers
language study in a number of countries through local universities. An arrange-
ment with Southeast University in Nanjing, China, allows students to spend five
weeks in language and cultural studies there. Students also may choose to live in
Israel in a "kibbutz" as part of a study of communal living. These programs allow
students the option of maximum free time during the remainder of the summer or
the opportunity to attend an additional session of summer school.

ndependent Study and Research

Independent study and research is an integral part of the educational program
at Elon College. With the assistance of faculty members, students get the chance
to develop hypotheses and think creatively Those who plan to attend graduate
school benefit from the research experience. By providing an atmosphere for one-
on-one learning with their professors, Elon gives students a unique opportunity to
discover the experience of being a professional in their chosen field. Elon students
can showcase their research efforts in the Student Undergraduate Research
Forum (SURF) in which the participants give a presentation of their research
projects and then respond to questions from the audience. Students also
can present research papers off campus.

year that Elon College is their first choice may take advantage of the Early
Decision Plan.

ADMISSIONS, FINANCES AND FINANCIAL AID

Accepted students must submit a nonrefundable $200 deposit by January 15
and withdraw applications from all other colleges at that time.

Transfer Admission

To be admitted for advanced standing, the student is expected to have at least
an overall "C" average on work attempted at other institutions, to be eligible to
return to the last institution attended and to be recommended by college officials.

An applicant having less than 24 semester hours of transferable college credit
at the time of application must also meet freshman admission requirements.

In order to be considered for transfer admission a student must:

1 . Have transcripts sent from all two-year or four-year colleges attended.

2. Have a dean's evaluation form completed by the dean of the last college
attended verifying eligibility. This form is not required if the student has
received an associate degree.

3. Have high school transcript and SAT or ACT scores sent. The SAT/ACT
requirement may be waived for some advanced students or nontraditional
students who did not take the test while in high school.

Transfer Credit

Students earn credit for courses taken through college parallel programs
at accredited junior colleges or community colleges and for courses taken at
accredited four-year colleges and universities. Transcripts are evaluated and
credit is awarded on a course-by-course basis after the student has been accepted
for admission. The freshman course, GS 110, Global Studies, is waived for
students transferring 18 hours or more.

No more than 65-semester hours of credit will be allowed from two-year
institutions. No credit is allowed for courses with a grade of "C-" or lower Credit
will not be given for classes taken while a student is under academic suspension.

Proof of a minimum score of 500 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language

language of instruction.

Financial Aid

Financial aid programs vary by source, eligibility criteria and application
procedures. While every effort is made to meet each student's full need, that
is not always possible, due to a limited amount of aid available. Students will
be offered a financial aid "package" which is an award consisting of one or more
of the following types of aid: scholarships, grants, low-interest loans and campus
employment. Scholarships and grants are "gift assistance" which do not have
to be repaid while loans and work are referred to as "self-help." Financial aid
packages may consist of all self help or a combination of self-help and gift
assistance. Applying early for financial aid improves your chances for getting
the maximum aid for which you are eligible.

of dollars of scholarships each year to worthy students. Many Elon students
receive this type of scholarship help in addition to other types of help they
may be receiving.

Students generally seek these scholarships on their own. A good place to start
is by asking your high school guidance office about community and other scholar-
cg ships with which they may be familiar. Then ask about the availability of scholar-

ships at places where family members are employed, through your church and '
through any organizations to which family members belong. Finally go to the
public libraiy for guidebooks to scholarships from foundations, corporations
and government agencies.

Campus Employment j

job, either on or off campus. The opportunities for campus employment at Elon
are available both to students who qualify for need and to students who do not.

Students in part-time jobs get valuable experience, learn time-management
skills, build friendships with the office personnel and, in certain cases with the
approval of the Director of Experiential Education, receive internship credit.

LOAN OPTIONS THAT ARE NOT BASED ON NEED

Several sources of long-term loan funds are available that are based on credit
worthiness rather than "need."

Federal Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS)

Parents may borrow up to the cost of education (at Elon, $13,998 for tuition,
fees, room and board and $2402 for books and miscellaneous expenses for
1995-96) less any other aid per academic year for each dependent enrolled at
least half-time, interest rate is variable and is based on the 52-week T-bill rate
plus 3.1 percent with a cap of 10 percent.

Federal Stafford Student Loans (unsubsidized)

Available to all students regardless of need. Loan amounts are the same as for
the need-based subsidized program. However, under this program, borrowers do
not qualify for federal interest subsidy payments, thus interest accrues while the
student is in school. Repayment of principal begins six months after the student is
no longer enrolled half-time. The interest rate is variable, capped at 9 percent and
is based on the 91 -day T-bill rate plus 3.1 percent. Separate application required.
Note: Students must file an application for need-based financial aid to be consid-
ered for one of these loans. A determination must first be made that the student is
not eligible for a need-based subsidized loan. (See "How to Apply for Need-Based
Financial Aid.") ■

ADMISSIONS. FINANCES AND FINANCIAL AID

HOW TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID

• New students must be accepted for admission to Elon before financial aid will
be awarded. However, do not wait until you are notified of your acceptance
before starting the financial aid application process. The sooner you complete
the aid application process, the better chance you have of receiving maximum
awards. Continuing students must be making satisfactory academic progress as
defined by the college for financial aid purposes.

meeting the April 1 priority date. A complete application consists of an Elon 57

Financial Aid Application, a Student Aid Report for federal aid programs and, if
you wish to be considered for aid programs other than the federal programs, a
processed Financial Aid PROFILE from CSS along with any supplemental
information and forms which may be requested by Elon College. Students will
be notified of aid decisions by June 15.

The Elon College 1997-98 Financial Aid Application is available from Elon's
Office of Financial Planning. The CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE, is the successor
to the traditional FAF. The PROFILE process provides Elon with the information
required to award need-based funds other than federal funds. You may file the
PROFILE any time after it becomes available but, to assure consistency with
the federal FAFSA form, you may wish to wait until you are also able to file
the FAFSA (anytime after January 1, 1997). In any event, be sure to observe the
priority deadlines for Elon College indicated above. You should complete only
one PROFILE Registration and you may include up to ten colleges. Other
colleges to which you are applying may have earlier deadline dates than
Elon's. If that is the case, be sure to comply with those earlier dates. They
will be indicated on the customized PROFILE application. Registering for
the PROFILE service is similar to registering for the SAT.

The federal Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available at all
high schools, many public libraries and from Elon College. About four weeks
after submitting the FAFSA, you will receive from the federal processor a three
to five page document called a Student Aid Report (SAR). All students applying
for any kind of financial aid must file the FAFSA. The PROFILE form is required,
in addition to the FAFSA, if you wish to be considered for non-federal need-
based aid.

NEED-BASED FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION PROCESS
FOR CONTINUING STUDENTS

Students must reapply for financial aid each academic year. Continuing
students currently receiving financial aid will be sent a renewal financial aid
packet sometime during late fall. The packet will contain those forms necessary
to apply for aid for the 1997-98 academic year. Specific instructions will be
included as to how and when to complete the application process.

1-27 semester hours completed

• Sophomore

28-61 semester hours completed

• Junior

62-95 semester hours completed

• Senior

Maximum load for any one semester is as follows:

• Fall and Spring Semesters, 18 semester hours

• Winter Term, 4 semester hours

• Summer Term, 8 semester hours

Any exception to this policy is the responsibility of the Academic Dean's Office.

Course Registration

Students are expected to register for themselves on the designated days
in August, January and February. Registration information is available to all
students. Registration includes academic advising, selection of courses and
payment of fees. Before preregistration or registration, each student should
consult with his/her academic advisor on course selection. General Studies
requirements, major requirements and other degree requirements. However,
it is the responsibility of the student, not the academic advisor, to ensure that
all college graduation requirements are met.

E L 0 N C 0 L L E G E :

Auditing Courses

Persons wishing to attend certain courses regularly without doing the
assigned preparation or receiving credit may do so with the approval of
the Registrar. The cost is $125 for each course.

Changes in Class and Schedule

The college reserves the right to cancel or discontinue any course because
of small enrollment or for other reasons deemed necessary. In order to assure
quality instruction, the college reserves the right to close registration when the
maximum enrollment has been reached. The college reserves the right to make ■
changes in schedule and/or faculty when necessary.

Credit by Examination (Course Challenge)

A student may receive credit for a course not taken by demonstrating mastery
of its subject matter. To challenge a course, a student must have the approval of
the Dean of Academic Affairs, the chair of the department in which the course is
offered and the professor who will test the student's mastery of the subject
matter. Whenever possible, the student should consult the professor far enough
in advance of the term in which the examination will be taken to determine
course requirements and standards and to begin to make independent prepara-
tions. However, the student should expect no assistance from the professor other
than being informed of the material to be covered on the examination. Under no
circumstances shall a student be allowed to attend classes of the course being
challenged. The cost for each examination is $213.

Dropping Courses

A student may officially drop any class with a "W" (withdraw without

penalty) through half of the term— this includes the week of examinations. ^

The withdrawal period applies to the regular semesters, classes taught for one ■

half semester, winter term and the summer sessions. After that date no class

may be dropped. Any exception to this policy is the responsibility of the '

Academic Dean's office.

(
A student who withdraws from the college for any reason (except for a

medical reason) receives grades of "W" if the withdrawal is before the designated

half-term time period. After this time a student will receive a "W" or "F" depending

on his/her grades at the time of withdrawal. A student who withdraws from the

college with a medical withdrawal will receive a "WD." i

GENERAL ACADEMIC REGULATIONS

Independent Study

Students may engage in independent study of catalog courses, special
topics and research projects. Independent Study is limited to Elon's honors
students, juniors and seniors. A course may not be repeated by Independent
Study. Details concerning the procedure for developing an Independent Study
proposal may be obtained in the Registrar's Office.

Overload

A student whose cumulative grade point average is less than 3.0 may not
register for overload hours in any term. See page 65 on course load.

Pass/Fail Elective Courses

A student may take two one-semester courses outside the major, minor and
General Studies requirements on a pass/fail basis. The pass/fail option encourages
students to enrich their educational experience in subjects outside their major/
minor fields and General Studies requirements in which they may feel unable to
maintain a desirable grade point average. The decision to take a course pass/
fail must be made at registration before the first class period.

Repeat Courses

Courses repeated within four semesters of attendance (excluding winter
and summer sessions) following the first enrollment in the course count only
once in computing the cumulative grade point average. In such cases the most
recent grade is counted rather than any previous grade (s) received. However, a
course repeated more than once will count in the cumulative grade point average
each time it is repeated. (Students receiving Veterans' benefits should consult the
V.A. representative.)

Attendance

Since students must attend classes regularly in order to derive maximum
benefit from their courses, the college strictly and fairly enforces policies govern-
ing classes, and students are responsible for knowing attendance regulations.
Each department establishes its own attendance policy If unwarranted absences
occur, the Dean of Academic Affairs may suspend the student from the class or
from the college.

Absence From Tests and Examinations

Students who miss scheduled tests and examinations without excusable
reasons may not make up such assignments. Authorization to make up tests
missed for excusable reasons is obtained from the professor of the class.
Authorization to make up final examinations missed for excusable reasons
is obtained from the Office of the Dean of Academic Affairs.

Grades and Reports

Grading System and Quality Points

Graduation is dependent upon quality as well as upon quantity of work done.

A student earns quality points as well as semester hours if his/her level of
performance does not fall below that of a "D-."

Letter grades are used. They are interpreted in the table below, with the
quality points for each hour of credit shown at right.

Grade Quality Points

68 A 4.0

A- 3.7

B+ 3.3

B 3.0

B- 2.7

C+ 2.3

C 2.0

C- 1.7

D+ 1.3

D 1.0

D- 0.7

F 0.0

I Incomplete 0.0

P Passing (not counted in cumulative average) 0.0

S Satisfactory (not counted in cumulative average) 0.0

U Unsatisfactory (counted in cumulative average) 0.0

WD Medical withdrawal 0.0

W Withdrawal 0.0

NR No Report 0.0

A grade in the "A" range indicates distinguished performance in a course.

A grade in the "B" range indicates an above-average performance in class.

A grade in the "C" range indicates an average performance in which a basic
understanding of the subject has been demonstrated.

A grade in the "D" range indicates a passing performance despite some
deficiencies.

A grade of "F" indicates failure. ;

Grades of "A" through "F" are permanent grades and may not be changed ■
except in case of error. After an instructor has certified a grade to the Registrar,
he/she may change it before the end of the next regular grading period.

GENERAL ACADEMIC REGULATIONS

The change must be made in writing and have the written approval of the
department chair.

An "I" grade signifies incomplete work because of illness, emergency, extreme
hardship or self-paced courses. It is not given for a student missing the final
examination unless excused by the Dean of Academic Affairs upon communica-
tion from the student. The student receiving a grade of "1" completes all work no
later than nine class days after mid-semester grades are due during the following
semester. A final grade is submitted to the Registrar by the instructor the follow-
ing Monday. After this date the "I" grade automatically changes to "F" unless an
extension is granted by the Dean of Academic Affairs.

Grade Point Average (GPA)

The grade point average is computed by dividing the total quality points
on work attempted at Elon College by the number of hours attempted except
for courses with grades of "P," "S," "WD," or "W."

Grade Reports

Students are graded at mid-semester as well as at the end of each semester
Mid-semester grades serve as progress reports and are not entered on students'
permanent records.

Dean's List

The Dean's List recognizes and encourages excellence in academic work.
A student who has no grade below a "B-" and a grade point average of at least
3.4 in a minimum of 12 semester hours in any semester is placed on the Dean's
List for the following semester. Those students who have no grade below
an "A-" in a minimum of 12 semester hours in any semester are placed on
the President's List. Classes passed on a Pass/Fail basis or classes with grades
of "S," "WD" or "W" are not included in Dean's List eligibility.

Accounting involves measuring business activities and communicating this
information to investors, creditors and other decision makers, who use it to
make sound, informed financial decisions. This practice serves to encourage
investment activity, which in turn creates jobs and helps the economy to grow.

Elon's program leading to the B.S. in accounting includes the central topics
of financial and managerial accounting plus an introduction to taxation, auditing
and commercial law. The accounting program prepares the graduate to be a
professional accountant in public accounting, industry and not-for-profit
organizations. This degree can also serve as a basis for graduate study in
accounting and other fields, including business administration and law.

A student must be admitted to the Love School of Business before taking
certain upper level courses required for the major. Most students can qualify
for admission to the Love School of Business when they have completed their
sophomore year.

finance, management, marketing, international management or management
information systems. Students may qualify for entry as a business major at the
end of the sophomore year.

Students with a degree in Business Administration are among the best prepared
for most of the top 20 careers of the future as defined recently by Business Week. The
business faculty's style of instruction is practical, based on theories presented in text
books. That style is possible because the faculty has extensive industry experience in
addition to post-graduate qualification in the field in which they teach. Students are
encouraged to use the computer in analysis and presentation, case analyses and
group projects which are meant to refiect real situations as much as possible.

Graduates in business administration are ready to begin professional careers in every
facet of American organizaUons requiring business skills. The approximafion of business
problems in the classroom gives the student an understanding of possible situation types
faced in a career. The sound preparation in liberal studies and business administration
makes the Elon business major a good investment for professional success.

Assistant Professor: Howard

Elon's education program prepares teachers for careers in the elementary, middle
and high school grades. The program emphasizes practical hands-on experience as
well as educational theory and methods classes on campus. Yearly field experiences
in public school classrooms begin the first year and culminate with a semester of full-
time teaching in the student's preferred licensure area.

Elon College offers programs leading to N.C. licensure in Elementary Education,
Middle Grades Education, Special Education (Specific Learning Disabilities), special
subject areas for grades K-12 and in seven areas at the secondary level. The goal of
the undergraduate program in Education is to foster in the student:

• the knowledge of the purposes of education and the role of the school in our
democratic society

the understanding of the role of the teacher as decision maker

the knowledge and skills required for developing competence in the various
teacher roles

a belief in the dignity and worth of each individual

the knowledge of the process of human growth and development

the knowledge of planning for instruction utilizing various teaching methodologies,
materials and organizational patterns

knowledge of the subject matter in school curriculum

competence in evaluating student learning

the knowledge and skills necessary to maintain a classroom environment that
facilitates learning and to accommodate the learning needs of exceptional and
culturally diverse students

• a desire for professional affiliation, lifelong learning and continuing professional
growth and development

EDUCATION 1

Currently there are 26 states which have entered into this reciprocity agreement.

Any student planning to teach in a state not a part of the Interstate Certification Compact

should obtain a copy of the licensure requirements for a public school teacher from the

State Superintendent of Education of the state in which the student plans to teach.

I
Before being admitted into the Teacher Education Program, the student must

make application to the program, be recommended by the appropriate major depart-
ment, be interviewed and approved by the Teacher Education Committee and meet
minimum score requirements on the Pre-Professional Skills Tests. *North Carolina
requires the following minimum scores: PPST Reading- 176; PPST Mathematics- 173;
and PPST Writing- 173 and a GPA of 2.5 for all coursework completed at the time of
admission. The minimum GPA of 2.5 must be maintained to continue in the program.

Education Program.

Application forms for the Teacher Education Program are available in the office
of the Department of Education and must be filed by September 1 5 or Februaiy 1 5 of the
semester immediately prior to the beginning of the student's junior year. A student must
be unconditionally admitted to the program before being permitted to take education
courses beyond the 200 level. Exceptions to this policy must be approved by the Dean,
Division of Education/Health, Physical Education and Leisure/Sport Management.

* All students planning to teach in a state other than North Carolina must contact
the appropriate state's Department of Public Instruction and secure its standards
for appropriate requirements.

At Elon College, the teacher education programs are fully approved by the N.C.
State Board of Education. While a student ordinarily may graduate and be licensed
under the catalog requirements in effect at the time the student is admitted to the
Teacher Education Program, the Board may mandate changes in standards of approved
teacher education programs, requiring students to modify or add to their original degree
programs to be eligible for licensure upon completion of graduation requirements.
Students should consult their advisor about current program requirements. ,

ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES

Advisory Committee: Professors: Brumbaugh, Chase, F. Harris

Associate Professors: Arcaro, Barbour, Gooch, Weston

Assistant Professor: Kingston

A healthy environment is critical to the worid's future. Overpopulation, pollution
and natural resources depletion affect everyone. As our awareness of the problem
grows, so does our need to find effective long-lasting solutions. The environmental
studies professional must have a fundamental understanding of the sciences
(especially biology and chemistry), economics, law, ethics and public policy.

The program— purposeful and well-balanced with a strong core— enables students
to focus their personal preferences through upper-level courses emphasizing policy or
field investigation. However, the curriculum does concentrate on the essential
scientific knowledge needed to create realistic solutions to environmental problems.

The goals of the environmental studies program are: (1) to provide students
with a broad interdisciplinary foundation for understanding natural resources issues;
(2) to develop students' understanding of economic activities and their role in natural
resources management and the decision-making process regarding environmental
issues; (3) to enhance students' decision-making capabilities in the area of environ-
mental conservation and citizen advocacy for balance between economic develop-
ment and environmental protection; (4) to build students' knowledge of the basic
scientific concepts that govern the operation of natural ecosystems; (5) to adequately
prepare students for employment in responsible professional posiUons in environmen-
tal policy and environmental risk assessment in the public and private sectors;
and (6) to prepare students for successful tenures in graduate school programs
in environmental policy and science curricula.

FILM STUDIES

Coordinator: Assistant Professor Johnson ;

Film Studies is a program designed to coordinate, facilitate and encourage the
study of cinema. During the past seventy-five years, the study of film has grown from
an academic curiosity to a legitimate scholarly pursuit at most colleges and universities
in the United States. Film is now established as one of the preeminent art forms of the
twentieth century. Unfortuately most Americans possess only a superficial under-
standing of the art of the Cinema. Film studies courses encourage critical thinking
and detailed examination of cinematic history, theory, criticism and aesthetics. This
contributes to a better understanding and appreciation of the film art.

Sociology and anthropology provide the student with an exceptional understand-
ing of the world by developing an awareness of how society and culture shape our
lives and perspectives. Studying sociology and anthropology is more like a journey
in which we learn to stand outside ourselves to see our world with new eyes.

Sociologists and anthropologists study all forms and dimensions of human social
and cultural behavior from the institutional to the interpersonal. For example: How
do people select a mate? How are people organized into groups such as sororities,
fraternities and sports teams?" How do institutions such as the family, economy,
government, religion and health care develop and affect our lives?

WOMEN'S STUDIESIGENDER STUDIES

Coordinator: Professor Granowsky

Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary program begun nationally in the 1970s—
at Elon in 1988— with the goal of rethinking academic disciplines from the perspective
of women's experience. This endeavor has challenged theoretical and empirical
understandings of women and men and produced a wealth of new scholarship.
Gender Studies was added in 1996 to broaden the focus of this new perspective and
scholarship to include the study of men and masculinity. Students report that the study
of women's issues and gender questions helps them think critically, analyze material
from diverse perspectives and make informed decisions about their lives both before
and after they graduate.

INTRODUCTION

Introduction

Elon College is a coeducational, residential, church-related college situated on
a spacious campus in the heart of the Piedmont near Burlington, North Carolina.
Named for the Hebrew word for "oak," the college is located in what was once an
oak forest, and many of these majestic trees still grace Elon's campus.

The Mission of Elon College

In accordance with the provisions of the charter, Elon College aims to provide
its students the opportunity to develop:

• a personal philosophy of life which will be reflected in a sense of integrity
high ethical standards, and significant religious insights and practice;

• an understanding of their responsibilities and rights as citizens in a democratic
society, and a recognition of the intrinsic worth of all individuals;

• a love of learning and sensitivity to aesthetic values sufficient to stimulate
continued intellectual and cultural growth;

• the ability to gather information, to think critically logically, and creatively,
and to communicate effectively;

• a basic knowledge of the humanities, natural sciences and social sciences,
and an appreciation of their interrelationships;

• a level of competence in at least one field of knowledge sufficient to provide
depth of intellectual perspective and preparation for graduate study or
professional activity;

E L 0 N COLLEGE

• an understanding of the principles of mental and physical health essential for
developing a lifestyle of wholeness and well-being;

• an appreciation of the potential for lifelong personal growth and professional
development which their own distinct abilities and aptitudes provide.

In keeping with these educational objectives, Elon College recognizes its
broader responsibilities as an institution of higher learning. The college supports
scholarly and artistic expression by providing the conditions for serious intellec-
tual work by both students and faculty it furthermore promotes open and honest
inquiry, respect for persons of all circumstances, sensitivity to diverse cultural
traditions, an understanding of the economic environment, an appreciation for
the value of work and habits of democratic citizenship. As participants in a
community of learners, all members of the college are expected to enact the
ideals of personal integrity and public responsibility

History

Elon College was founded by the Christian Church (now United Church
of Christ) in 1889. Two schools were forerunners of Elon College: The Graham
Colleee, established in 1851 in Graham, North Carolina; and the Suffolk Collesiate
Institute, established in 1872 in Suffolk, Virginia. In 1888, the Southern Christian
Convention, now a part of the United Church of Christ, voted to establish Elon
College. Since its founding, seven presidents have provided the leadership
essential for progress.

The site of the new college was known as Mill Point, located four miles west
of Buriington, North Carolina. In its early years, Elon survived many difficulties.
The student body population was severely reduced during Worid War I, and a
major fire in 1923 destroyed most of the campus buildings. Within three years,
a new campus emerged from the ruins: The five central buildings, including
Alamance, were built at this time. The Great Depression and Worid War II also
created challenges for the college.

The decades following Worid War II brought physical growth and academic
development. As enrollment increased, new buildings went up and the college
expanded beyond its brick walls. Students from half of the states in the Union,
as well as from foreign countries, gave the college a regional complexion.

Elon experienced a decade of unprecedented growth during the 1980s. During
this time, applications doubled and enrollment increased 35 percent, making Elon
one of the fastest growing colleges in the region. Dozens of academic and student
life programs were added to enrich the quality of an Elon education. Special
classes and volunteer programs were developed to provide students with leader-
ship and service opporiunities. In fall 1984, the college began offering a master
of business administration degree, and in the fall 1986, a master of education
degree. The college physical plant grew during the 1980s as well. Total campus
acreage doubled, and square footage of buildings increased 73 percent. The
college also made major investments in computer and library technology and
equipment for the sciences and communications.

INTRODUCTION

Elon's forward momentum has continued in the 1990s. In an effort to further
enhance teaching and academic excellence, the college has recently revised the
General Studies curriculum and converted to a four semester-hour structure. A
$21 million fund-raising campaign was recently completed — $3 million over the
original goal. Koury Center's Alumni Memorial Gymnasium was renovated, and
Stewart Fitness Center opened in spring 1994. Moseley Center, a new 74,000
square-foot campus center, opened in January 1995.

As a result of Elon's accomplishments, Elon was ranked in the top quartile
of southern regional colleges and universities in the 1997 U.S. News "America's
Best Colleges" guidebook.

Students

From its initial enrollment of 108 students, Elon's student body has grown

20 General Studies

The First-Year Core helps students develop the ability to (I) think clearly and
critically, (2) write clear, correct English prose, (3) evaluate quantitative informa-
tion, improve mathematical reasoning skills and enhance appreciation of the value
of mathematics, and (4) develop an understanding of personal well-being and
lifelong diversity and the possibilities for human communication and cooperation.

The Experiential Learning requirement encourages students to engage the
world about them actively and to refiect insightfully about those observations.
It is the most visible recognition in the General Studies program of the wholeness
of a liberal education.

The Liberal Studies area emphasizes that an important goal of an undergradu-
ate education is adaptability since the future will include not only evident problems
but the unforeseen. The four sub-areas in Liberal Studies (expression, civilization,
society and science/analysis) reflect a broad and diversified curriculum designed
to prepare students for a future of continued intellectual growth.

General Studies are by nature cumulative and developmental. Thus Elon
College students will revisit these themes throughout their college years from
initial enrollment to graduation.
