The Computer Center — The Computer Center, established in July, 1 963,
provides computational suppport for undergraduate and graduate courses,
faculty and student research, and the administrative requirements of the Uni-
versity. The computing capacity of the Center is provided by a large-scale disk
oriented central processor which supports both time-sharing and batch
processing services for the university community. Typewriter terminals,
located both in the Computer Center and in various locations on campus,
permit the use of the computer on a time-sharing basis. Keypunching facilities
and a full complement of tabulating equipment are available in the Computer
Center for student use. Remote job entry stations are located in the Computer
Science department and the School of Business, along with a large number of
time-sharing terminals. Aid in the use of the computer and facilities may be
obtained from user assistants on duty at the Computer Center, and from the
Center's professional staff.
lUP's Computer Center plays an active part in the daily functioning of the
University. It is the principal laboratory facility for computer-oriented courses
and is used as a teaching aid in many classes involving statistical and
numerical analyses and computer simulations. In addition, over 80 organi-
zatons outside the University make extensive use of lUP's computing facilities.
The staff at the Center is actively involved in continuing work aimed at making
computers a more effective and readily accessible tool for both the academic
and administrative segments of the university community.
Testing Services — Testing programs at lUP are administered through
the Academic Services and Testing Center. Among the national testing pro-
grams offered, the following are of particular interest to potential graduate
students.
The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is administered on nationally-
established dates five times each year. In the Saturday morning sessions the
aptitude examinations are offered; the advanced examinations (specializa-
tions) are offered in the afternoon sessions. Information and registration
booklets are available from the Graduate School or from the Testing Center.
Registration forms must be sent directly to ETS in Princeton, New Jersey.
The Miller Analogies Test (MAT) is administered by the Testing Center
on a frequent schedule — usually monthly on a weekday afternoon. To
register, contact the Testing Center (412-357-3050). All Graduate School
applicants with a GPA of below 2.6 must take the MAT.
The Graduate Management Admission Test (GM AT) is administered on
nationally-established dates. lUP is a regular center for some dates and can
be a special center for other dates if 15 registrations are submitted to the
Testing Center before the "special requests" deadline. Registrations for
regular center dates, as listed in the GMAT booklet, are submitted directly to
ETS. Information-registration booklets are available from the School of
Business-MBA Coordinator or from the Testing Center.
The National Teacher Examination (NTE) is administered on three
nationally-established dates. On two dates the common examinations are
offered; on two other dates the area examinations (specializations) are
7^76 University — 13
offered. It is used generally by participating school systenns for qualification
and/or selection of instructional staff. Use of the NTE at lUP is limited to the
area examination for guidance counselor, which is used in admission to the
lUP doctoral program in counselor education.
Information on graduate and professional school exams other than those
used for lUP Graduate School programs is available through the Testing
Center. Law School Admission Test (LSAT) information is also available in the
office of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. Medical College
Admission Test (MCAT) information is available through the Dean of the
School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.
Arrangements can be made by advance contact for administration of tests
adapted to visual, auditory, or physical handicaps.
The Testing Center is a service operation for the administration of tests and
neither makes testing requirements nor offers interpretation of testing results.
Commercial "How to Prepare for . . ." materials are available in the Co-op Store
and other local bookstores. Questions concerning test requirements and
desirable scores should be addressed to The Graduate School. Questions
concerning specific registration matters and the test agency information-
registration materials may be directed to the Academic Services and Testing
Center, G30 Sutton Hall (357-3050).
Financial Aid — The Financial Aid Qffice, located at 308 Pratt Hall, offers
financial information and counseling to all students attending lUP. The types
of financial assistance offered by the Financial Aid Office include student
employment, loans, and scholarships. In most cases the Pennsylvania State
Grant Application is used to determine eligibility for these programs.
In order to be considered for financial aid administered through the Uni-
versity, a Pennsylvania State Grant Application must be submitted to Harris-
burg, Pennsylvania. Students attending iUP on at least a half-time basis
(5 credit hours or more) will be awarded assistance based on demonstrated
financial need. To be eligible for continued funding, applicants must remain in
satisfactory academic standing at the University and show continued
academic progress.
Payment of financial aid awards is done on a semester basis. All financial
aid, with the exception of the private scholarships, work-study, and guar-
anteed student loans are credited to the student's bill in advance.
The cost of attending IUP and the University's refund policy are listed in this
catalog. Please refer to the index for further information.
Career Services — The Office of Career Services, 302 Pratt Hall, is open to
all IUP graduate students and alumni. Students and classes are invited to use
the facilities and professional staff for assistance in carrer planning and
development.

THE GRADUATE SCHOOL AT lUP
GENERAL INFORMATION
Graduate work was inaugurated at lUP in September, 1957.
Master of Arts, Master of Science, Master of Business Administration,
Master of Education, Doctor of Education, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees
are currently available. Non-degree programs leading to certification in

and scholarship, (2) to provide depth in the student's special field, and (3) to
stimulate enthusiasm for continued cultural and professional growth on the
part of the student.
The Graduate School staff is assisted in its daily functioning by a) the
Graduate Council, a standing committee of the University Senate concerned
with graduate program curncular and policy matters; b) the Graduate Student
Assembly, an elected graduate student body representative of all campus
academic departments offering graduate programs, and c) the chairpersons
and graduate studies coordinators of departments offering graduate course
work.
In addition to the degree and certification programs referred to above,
lUP's Graduate School also maintains liaison with other graduate institutions
in Pennsylvania. Students should contact The Graduate School for additional

ADMISSION
Admission to The Graduate School is required of all students who wish to
take graduate courses for graduate credit. Each student applying for
admission, either as an applicant for a graduate degree program or as an
applicant for a non-degree program, must file with The Graduate School an
application for admission and such other supporting documents as the school
may specify. An Admissions Packet is supplied by the Graduate Office upon
request. As a general rule application materials must be on file in the Graduate
Office at least one month prior to the beginning of the semester or term in
which the applicant plans to begin graduate work. Some exceptions to these
deadlines exist; please refer to the Graduate Calendar on pages 5-7 of this
catalog for specific program dates.
Requirements for Admission
1 . An applicant must have a bachelor's degree from a college or university
accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary
Schools or an equivalent regional accrediting agency.
2. The applicant's undergraduate transcript (or transcripts collectively)
must show a minimum cumulative quality point average of 2.6 on a 4.0

do not already have such certification where required must complete a
planned program leading to certification prior to applying for MEd
degree candidacy at lUP.
Graduate School admission means that a student may program and
register for graduate courses. Admission does not guarantee subsequent
admission to candidacy for a degree, nor does it guarantee successful
completion of requirements for a degree.

Admission Classifications
Applicants for admission to The Graduate School are notified of their
admission status by The Graduate School Dean prior to the beginning of the
term of planned study. Admission classifications are as follows:
1 . Pre-Candidacy Status. Given to an applicant who plans to work toward
a graduate degree and whose application file with The Graduate School
is both complete and satisfactory. The pre-candidacy student may pro-
gram, under departmental guidance, 6 to 1 2 graduate hours toward the
degree being sought. Pre-Candidacy Status does not guarantee sub-
sequent admission to candidacy.
2. Special Graduate Standing. Granted to applicants who indicate they
do not plan to work toward a graduate degree but who wish to take grad-
uate courses for which they are qualified. Applicants granted this
standing who later wish to work toward a graduate degree must request
reclassification by The Graduate School. Credits earned by a student
having Special Graduate Standing may be applied to an lUP degree
after the reclassified student has been awarded degree candidacy,
provided the credits are deemed appropriate to the degree by the pro-
gram's sponsoring department
3. Admission Denied. Applicants denied admission to The Graduate
School will receive a letter from the Graduate Dean indicating the
reason for the denial.

special graduate student, consultation should be with the Dean of The
Graduate School. Advisement before course registration is required of all
students enrolling for graduate classes for the first time. In addition, many
departments feel strongly that their students should be advised well before
registration for each semester or summer term; these departments are
identified in each semester's (or summer session's) schedule of course
offerings. The student should carefully check such schedules about advise-
ment responsibilities, as well as course offerings, before registration.
Pre-registration
Prior to each semester or summer session enrolled graduate students
receive pre-registration materials and accompanying instructions from The
Graduate School. Similar material is sent to prospective new students in
response to their inquiries. The student should return all completed registra-
tion forms to the Graduate Office by the date published in the graduate
schedule.
Final Registration
After the student has returned the registration materials to The Graduate
School, he/she will receive from the Business Office a bill for tuition and fees.
Bills must be paid before the student attends classes. Arrangements for
housing and meals when necessary, parking, identification-card receipt can
be made at the registration location for "walk-in" students. Mail-registered
students should make such arrangements independently with offices involved.
"Walk-in" registration is usually held during the final hours of registration for
students who have not pre-registered. Walk-in students may encounter
lengthy delays in their registraion processing and other inconveniences. It is
unquestionably to the student's advantage to be processed with the majority
pre-registration group.
APPLICANTS FOR SPECIALIST
CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS
lUP offers specialist certification programs in Communications Media,
Counselor Education, Public School Psychology, and Reading. Applicants for
20 — Indiana University of Pennsylvania

Employment Programs
A. Federal College Work-Study Program (CWSP)
The College Work-Study Program provides an opportunity for graduate
students to earn money to help finance educational expenses. Students
may be employed on campus for up to 20 hours per week when classes are
in session and 40 hours per week during vacation periods. Work-study jobs
not only help to defray the cost of education but can add valuable practical
experience accompanying the student's graduate education. Eligibility is
based on financial need as determined by an analysis of the Pennsylvania
State Grant Application submitted to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Theform is
available in the Financial Aid Office.
B. State University Employment Program (UE)
The State University Employment Program also provides an opportunity for
students to work as an accompaniment to their studies program. Maximum
UE hours are 20 hours per week when classes are in session and 40 hours
per week during vacation periods. No application is necessary.

GENERAL GRADUATE SCHOOL PROCEDURES
AND REGULATIONS
The graduate student is expected to assume full responsibility for knowing
graduate program procedures and regulations. General Graduate School
requirements are set forth in this catalog: a description of special departmental
degree requirements is available at each department sponsoring the specific
degree or certification program. Requests for exceptions to policy are given
consideration when unique circumstances exist: questions concerning the
proper routing of such requests should be addressed to the Graduate School
dean. In addition to knowing policy and procedure, all admitted graduate
students should also be familiar with the document "Graduate Student Rights
and Responsibilities" (see next page), a copy of which can be obtained at the
Graduate Office.
The Graduate School — 23
Program Changes
To insure their quality and relevance, graduate programs at lUP are subject
to constant review and change by duly appointed and responsible University
groups. Because of this, the University recognizes that provision must be
made to prevent hardship to students already enrolled in programs if changes
later occur in specific or general program requirements. Students affected by
changes in programs, policies and regulations are therefore given the option
of following those requirements in effect when the student was first admitted to
the program or those in effect at the time of expected graduation. The student
cannot, of course, combine chosen elements of the two. Should a question of
rule interpretation arise with respect to changes, the student, the student's
adviser, or both should petition The Graduate School Dean for a decision
about which requirements apply.
Graduate Assistantships
Graduate assistantships are awarded at lUP to a limited number of full-time
graduate students usually who have been admitted to graduate degree
programs. There is no guarantee of renewal, although departmental recom-
mendations for renewal are considered when such occur. Assistanships carry
a stipend and a tuition waiver for graduate courses taken, but the assistant-
ship IS looked upon as an encouragement and/or reward for academic excel-
lence rather than a means to relieve financial need.
Assistantships are of two types; teaching and research. In both cases the
duties performed (20 service hours per week in the typical appointment) are
related to academic and/or professional experiences either in or closely
related to the student's degree discipline and provide an experiential exten-
sion of his/her curriculum development. Duties are assigned through the
Dean by the chairperson or graduate studies coordinator of the department of
assignment.
Graduate Student Rights and Responsibilities
upon admission to The Graduate School, the student assumes responsi-
bility for knowing program requirements and following established procedures
in relation to academic advisement, course selection and registering, the pay-
ment of fees, the processing of withdrawals from class (if any), the meeting of
residency requirements, applying for degree candidacy, and applying for and
meeting all specific requirements for graduation. Conversely, he/she has the
right to expect that all program requirements will be made clear, that all course
requirements — including grading criteria and procedures — will be made
known early in the course, and that course grades will represent the
instructor's professional and objective evaluation of performance. He/she
has the right to instruction which encourages the free and open discussion of
ideas, and which respects reasonable student needs and aspirations. It is the
student's responsibility to contribute to that classroom decorum and atmos-
phere which encourages maximum learning. Finally, the student understands
that a departmental evaluation of academic progress and professional
potential will be filed and that such an evaluation is available upon request.
24 — Indiana University of Pennsylvania
The Graduate Student Assembly
Each lUP department offering a graduate program is required to establish a
graduate studies committee and is urged, but not required, to form an associa-
tion for its graduate students. On a University-wide basis, the Graduate
Student Assembly (GSA) is the graduate students' organization. GSA is com-
posed of two elected representatives (and frequently an alternate) elected by
the full-time and part-time graduate students of the department. GSA func-
tions to serve all graduate students by having voting representation on the
Graduate Council and in the University Senate; by having the right to review
Council policies; by having the means to make recommendations about grad-
uate student affairs to the Council and /or to the Graduate Dean; by working to
improve the social, intellectual, and cultural life of graduate students; and by
participating in the judicial procedure established for graduate students.
Academic Good Standing
lUP graduate students must maintain a minimum of 3.0 (B) cumulative
graduate quality point average to be in good standing academically. Students
falling below good standing are placed on probation for their succeeding
active semester or summer; probationary continuance beyond one semester
or summer is permitted only upon receipt of special authorization to this effect
from the Graduate Dean. A student must be in good standing to be admitted to
degree candidacy and to graduate.
The Graduate School — 25
ACADEMIC CREDITS AND STUDENT STATUS
Although many graduate students depend upon part-time or full-time
employment to meet expenses, the time demands for such employment must
not be permitted to curtail academic achievement. lUP Graduate School
facilities are offered only to students in a position to benefit from their graduate
experience.
Students may regularly schedule a full-time academic load in most
graduate programs. Full-time graduate student status is defined as 9 to 15
graduate semester hours per semester, while part-time status is defined eight
or less semester hours per semester. Full-time graduate students should not
hold full-time outside employment. Graduate assistants may not register for
more than 12 total hours in any semester. No studentmay apply morethan six
hours in "tour" courses toward a graduate degree. Several departments also
set maxima on the number of workshop and similar special offering hours
applicable to their degree; students should obtain this information from the
degree-sponsoring department.
RESIDENCY
Master's degree candidates may satisfy the residency requirement by
taking all credits applicable to the lUP degree (except possibly six transfer
credits — see "Credit Transfers", page 28 at lUP. Doctoral candidates have
the following options: completion of a minimum of nine graduate credits at lUP
in each of at least two consecutive semesters; completion of a minimum of
nine graduate credits at lUP for at least one semester immediately preceding
or following a summer of nine-hour study; completion at lUP of at least nine
graduate credits in each of two consecutive summers plus six graduate
credits during the intervening academic year; or completion of 12 graduate
credits at lUP in each of two consecutive summers (this latter is recom-
mended only in very special instances).
DEGREE CANDIDACY
Part-time graduate students must apply for degree candidacy through their
Dean's Office immediately following completion of six graduate credit hours
taken at lUP. Full-time students must do the same at the mid-term of the
semester or summertermduring which they are taking their 12th I UP graduate
hour. The appropriate form is available at the Dean's Office. Notification of
candidacy award or denial, as recommended by the program's sponsoring
department, will be received from the Dean. Receipt of degree candidacy is a
most important requirement in the student's progress toward an lUP graduate
degree.
26 — Indiana University of Pennsylvania
Admission to Candidacy
To qualify for admission to candidacy, the student must complete the
following steps:
1 . Submit an official application for admission to candidacy to the School
Dean (form may be obtained at the student's school Dean's Office).
2. Complete with satisfactory grades (see description of Academic Good
Standing) at least six semester hours (part-time students) or be in the
process of completing 1 2 semester hours (full-time students — see first
paragraph under Degree Candidacy) of graduate work taken at lUP.
3. Have on file in the Graduate Office scores from the Graduate Record
Examination, or, for fVIBA and MS in Business students, The Graduate
Management Admission Test.
4. Have satisfied the research course requirement (GR 615 Elements of
Research, or equivalent).
5. Have on file in the Dean's Office a tentative program of studies for com-
pletion of the desired degree program.
Degree candidacy is awarded by the dean's office only upon
recommendation of the student's academic department. The student will be
notified in writing of candidacy decisions.
Individual departments may have requirements exceeding the minimum
prescribed by the Graduate School. Students should inquire for such written
requirements at the degree-sponsoring department.
GRADING SYSTEM
The following grades are used in reporting the standing of students at the
end of each semester or summer term:
A — Excellent I — Incomplete
B — Good R — Research in Progress
C — Fair W — Withdrawal
F — Failure
No "D" grade is recognized in lUP graduate work.
Quality points are assigned as follws: A — 4: B — 3;C — 2. No quality points
are carried by the notations of F, I, R, and W.
The notation "I" is used to record work which, as far as it has progressed, is
of passing grade but is incomplete because of accident, illness, pregnancy, or
extreme personal disturbance An "I" must be made up by the student within
180 calendar days following its issuance. If it is not, it is automatically con-
verted to an "F" The "R" notation pertains only to thesis and dissertation
The Graduate School — 27
research credits when such research is in progress as a semester or summer
terms ends, or in certain practicum-type courses approved for this notation by
the Graduate Dean. All "R's" are replaced by the research grade eventually
assigned when the research is completed. The "W" notation applies to certain
withdrawals from courses: please see page 30 for discussions of withdrawals
from the University and discrete course withdrawals. Note that an "F" is
entered in the student's permanent academic record if a withdrawal of either
type has not been processed in accordance with established procedures.
Course Auditing
Auditing is not permitted in a graduate course unless the student has been
admitted to The Graduate School, has received permission to audit from the
course's instructor, and has been approved for course enrollment by the dean
of The Graduate School. Auditors must pay normal tuition and related fees. An
auditor will, with permission from the instructor, participate in class discussion,
do practicum work, take examinations, and share generally in the privileges of
a class member. If the student completes all course requirements — but only if
so — an "Audit" notation is posted to the student's academic record No
student who is required to carry a certain number of credits may count among
those credits the credit of an audited course.
Class Cancellation
It is the policy of The Graduate School not to cancel regularly scheduled
classes because of weather conditions, nor does it make announcements via
radio, newspaper, or through its switchboard that classes are being sus-
pended because of such conditions. In cases of emergencies disrupting
transportation facilities or otherwise creating hazardous travel conditions, stu-
dents should make those decisions as to attendance which appear appro-
priate to them in their particular circumstances.
Graduate Course Numbering
All dual-level courses, open to enrollment by both graduate and qualified
undergraduate students, carry a 500-599 course number; all courses open
only to graduate students carry 600-series and above numbers.
The number of credits attained in dual-level courses which shall be
applicable to a degree program for any student shall be a maximum of fifty
percent of the credits required for that degree.

Credit Transfers
Credit for graduate courses taken at another institution may under certain
circumstances be incorporated as part of the graduate student's program at
lUP. These courses must have been completed on the main campus of an
accredited institution, or acceptable in its degree programs by that main
campus. The grade earned must be a "B" or its equivalent or better. The time
limitation rule cited on page 31 of this catalog relative to credit applicability to
an lUP graduate degree generally pertains without modification to transfer
credit applicability.
The Graduate School — 29
A maximum of six credits of transfer work is accepted. Transfer credits are
not necessarily posted to the student's lUP graduate record until the student
has been admitted to degree candidacy. Acceptance of transfer credit must
be approved by the candidate's department and the Dean. Students wishing to
transfer back to lUP credits taken at another institution while enrolled in an I UP
graduate program must receive advance written authorization for credit
acceptance from the School Dean.
Graduate Course Repeat Policy
Under University policy no graduate credit is recognized for courses com-
pleted with grades of "F". Graduate grading policy does not permit an award of
"D." A student receiving a "C" or "F" grade may request through his/her
adviser or coordinator of graduate studies approval to repeat the course to a
maximum of two repeats. Each such repeat must receive final approval from
the dean of the student's School.
Semester hours for repeated courses shall be counted only once for all
attempts made and, should there be a difference in hours because of a course
hours change, the hours and quality points earned when last taken shall be
those used for quality point average computation.
Credits earned in only one repeated course may be applied to an lUP
graduate degree.
Independent Study Maximum
Only six credits of Independent Study work may apply toward a student's
master's degree unless written authorization for hours in excess of six is
obtained from the student's adviser or coordinator of graduate studies and the
dean, in that order.
Graduate Internship Policy
to qualify for a graduate internship appointment the graduate student must
have a minimum of 1 2 lUP graduate credits earned and a minimum 3.0 GPA:
must have been in full-time enrollment (nine graduate credits or more) during
the semester or summer sessions (the latter taken as a whole) immediately
preceding the academic period for which internship is requested;* and must
meet departmental internship criteria. No more than six internship credits may
apply to a graduate degree unless written approval of the student's depart-
mental chairperson or graduate studies coordinator and the dean (in that
order) is obtained. Continuation in an internship experience by a given
graduate student is contingent upon the student's maintenance of satisfactory
performance in all aspects of his/her degree program. Programmatic excep-
tions to the foregoing policy can be made only with the approval of the Grad-
uate Council.
*For graduate students active during summers only, or during fall-spring
semesters only, "immediately preceding the academic period" etc. refers to
the student's last preceding active semester or summer session.
30 — Indiana University of Pennsylvania
Final Credits Policy
All master's degree candidates must complete their program's final six
credits of graduate work in courses offered by lUP. Under certain circum-
stances appropriate substitutions may be authorized. Students wishing such
authorization must petition the Dean after obtaining the approval of their
adviser and department chairperson or graduate studies coordinator.
Discrete Course Withdrawal
During the fall and spring semesters, graduate students may request
authorization to withdraw from a graduate course without prejudice and with
the grade of "W" by petitioning the School Dean in writing within the first two-
thirds of the semester as determined by the published University calendar.
The request must carry the endorsement of both the course instructor and the
student's department chairperson or graduate studies coordinator, in that
order. Graduate students wishing to withdraw from an undergraduate course
within the prescribed period must do so by processing the standard under-
graduate Discrete Course Withdrawal form.
For summer term classes and labs, the following is substituted for the
above in the preceding paragraph; for Pre and Post Sessions, within the first six
class days; for Main Session, within the first twelve class days.
Following the close of the established six weeks (or 6th day or 1 2th day)
withdrawal period, a graduate student may withdraw from a course, either
graduate or undergraduate, without penalty only with the written approval of
his/her department chairperson or graduate studies coordinator and the
Dean (in that order) for such reasons as accident, severe illness, or extreme
personal disturbance. A student dropping a course under any other
circumstance will automaticallv receive an "F" at the end of the semester or
summer term.
The discrete course withdrawal refund policy is described on page 10.
Withdrawals from the University
Graduate students withdrawing from the University for any reason must
process such withdrawals in writing through the office of the Dean. The official
withdrawal date to be recognized will be established by the Dean.
Please refer to page 8 of this catalog for detailed description of the Uni-
versity's Refund Policy and related matters.
Official notification of course withdrawal will be sent by the Dean to the
student's course instructor(s) and chairperson/graduate studies coordinator.
No person shall be considered withdrawn from the University unless the
withdrawal process described herein has been employed.
Graduate Course Scheduling by
Certain Undergraduates
lUP undergraduate students with an academic grade point average of at
least 2.6 who are within 32 semester hours of graduation are permitted after
The Graduate School — 31
appropriate approvals, to take up to six semester hours of graduate work
whether or not they have applied for acceptance into an lUP graduate pro-
gram. Graduate hours so earned have no necessary bearing upon the meeting
of undergraduate degree requirements, and no assurance is given or implied
as to the hours' later applicability to a graduate degree should the students be
admitted to an lUP graduate program.
Time Limitations
Program credits earned at lUP or accepted by transfer are applicable to
lUP master's degrees over a period not to exceed five years from the date of
their earning unless the period is extended through student petition approved
by the program's chairperson or graduate studies coordinator and the
graduate dean. Doctoral candidates must complete degree requirements no
later than seven years after beginning lUP doctoral program course work
unless an extension similarly is authorized.
Graduation
Early in the student's final semester or summer session, he/she must file
an application for graduation with the Dean's office on a form furnished by that
office. Graduation applications must be filed by the deadlines shown on the
Graduate Calendar.
When all requirements for the degree have been completed and this fact is
attested to by the student's department, the student's academic record will be
so posted and the degree will be awarded at the following established
diploma-award date. An official diploma is presented to the student at that
time.
Graduate credits used to satisfy the minimum requirements in one grad-
uate program cannot be used again to satisfy the minimum requirements of a
separate graduate program.
DOCTORAL DEGREE PROGRAiViS
The Graduate School at lUP offers work leading to the degree Doctor of
Philosophy in the following fields:
English and American Literature
English Education
It offers work leading to the degree Doctor of Education in the following
fields:
Counselor Education
Elementary Education
Doctoral degrees are conferred for distinguished achievement in a partic-
ular field of scholarship and for demonstrated ability to perform independent
research in an area of that field. No specific number of course credits entitles a
student to the degree.
32 — Indiana University of Pennsylvania
Departments offering the doctoral degree usually have their own special
requirements beyond the Graduate School degree requirements. The latter
are equally binding. Departments may modify or in specific cases waive The
Graduate School requirements only with Graduate Council approval.
Requirements for the Doctoral Degree
students seeking a doctoral degree must satisfy the minimum Graduate
School requirements described in the following. Mention has been made that
sponsoring departments may have additional requirements; students must be
equally familiar with departmental requirements.
Under certain circumstances Graduate School requirements for the Doc-
toral degree may be satisfied by means of substitution. Requests for the
acceptance of substitutions should be made in the form of a petition to the
Graduate Dean, the petition first having the approval of the student's adviser
and department chairperson or graduate studies coordinator.
Credit Requirement — A minimum of 60 graduate semester credits,
exclusive of dissertation credits, must be earned beyond the bachelor's
degree for either the PhD or the DEd.
Transfer Credit — Transfer credit is limited to the credit equivalent of a
recognized master's degree, except in those special cases recommended by
the student's department chairperson or graduate studies coordinator and
approved by the Graduate Dean and up to 12 graduate credits in the use of
program specific interinstitutional agreements approved by the Graduate
Dean.
Admission to Candidacy — Each student admitted to a doctoral program
must apply for doctoral degree candidacy after completing at lUP no less than
nine nor more than 15 graduate credits beyond the master's degree. The
student must have' a minimum quality point average of 3.0. The student's
minimum GPA may be set higherthan the foregoing Graduate School require-
ment by the program's sponsoring department, but in no case may it be lower.
Candidacy Examination — The candidacy examination, which may be
written, oral, or both, as determined by the program's sponsoring department,
and which may serve also as the final examination for the master's degree if a
department so prescribes, is administered by the department in the student's
field of specialization. The examination may not be taken until the student has
completed at least one year of study beyond the bachelor's degree. Examina-
tion scores must satisfy the student's dissertation committee.
The Dissertation Committee — The candidate's dissertation committee
supervises the student's degree program from the point at which he/she is
admitted to doctoral degree candidacy through defense of the dissertation.
The committee approves the student's plan of study; arranges for the
candidacy examination; arranges for the comprehensive examination; and
oversees the candidate's general supervision related to research, the dis-
sertation, and the general meeting of degree requirements.
The Graduate School — 33
The Comprehensive Examination — This examination is given, usually
upon the candidate's completion of course work, to determine the student's
stage of progress in the degree field and fields related to it, and the student's
likelihood of success in his/her research — dissertation phase. The examina-
tion may be written, oral, or both. It is not necessarily limited to areas in which
the candidate has taken course work
Foreign Language/Research Tool Options — Foreign language and/or
research tool requirements for PhD candidates vary by program; sponsoring
departments should be consulted for specific program requirements. Options
include the following: demonstration of a competent reading knowledge of two
foreign languages appropriate to the general field of study, or of a reading
knowledge of one foreign language together with a comprehensive knowledge
of its literature; or presentation of six graduate credits in theoretical or applied
linguistics; or of six graduate credits in a computer language.
Requirements in DEd programs also vary. The DEd candidate must
a) demonstrate reading competency in two foreign languages as above, or
b) pass a sequence of courses in research and statistics as prescribed by
his/her major department, and/or demonstrate, through examination or other
evidence satisfactory to the major department, competence in a computer
language. Again, the student should consult his/her department directly.
Research Proposal — After the candidate has passed the comprehensive
examination and has done extensive preliminary proposal research, he/she
must present and defend a research proposal before the dissertation commit-
tee. A copy of the proposal must be placed in the hands of all committee
members at least two weeks in advance of the scheduled meeting. The
proposal must be found satisfactory by all members of the committee before
the candidate may proceed with the dissertation.
The Dissertation — A dissertation is required of all doctoral candidates.
The paper must demonstrate the candidate's mastery of his/her research and
reflect the results of an original investigation in the principal field of study. The
goal should be to make a definite original contribution to knowledge in the field.
The notation "R" is made in the candidate's academic record while such
research is in progress; please see page 26 for description of this notation's
use.
Dissertation Review Meeting — Upon acceptance of the dissertation by
the candidate's adviser, the candidate must present a finished copy to the
dean of the School, from whom it circulates to all members of the dissertation
committee. At a time convenient to all members, the candidate shall then
request a formal meeting of the dissertation committee to secure dissertation
approval. The dissertation must be approved in writing by each member of the

working with a committee of four faculty members including the student's
adviser and two faculty members, one of whom may or may not be a member
of the program's department. The committee may include an off-campus per-
son with special expertise as part of the four if requested by the department
and approved by the Graduate Dean.

Principal Certification
lUP currently offers a competency based school administrative certifica-
tion program in elementary and secondary education. Applicants should
contact the director of the principal's certification program (Dean's Office,
School of Education, Stouffer Hall) for more information
Graduate Study Beyond the Master's Degree
It is not unusual to find graduate students enrolling in more courses than
they need to meet the requirements of a master's degree. Such action can be
beneficial beyond the personal satisfactions which accrue, because the
added studies may be well received by employers whether in business,
government, or the school system in such matters as certification. However,
students should understand that most graduate schools have residency
requirements at the doctoral as well as master's level and frequently will
accept no more than 30 graduate semester hours earned elsewhere as appli-
cable to a doctorate.

BUSINESS
The School of Business offers three separate graduate progranns: The
Master of Business Adnninistration (MBA), the Master of Education in Business
(M.Ed.), and the Master of Science in Business (M.S.).
MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (MBA)
The Master of Business Administration program is intended to serve the
needs of both junior and senior level business and industrial executives
seeking additional knowledge and skills to do a more efficient job of problem
solving and managerial decision making. It also serves the needs of students
seeking advanced training in business management prior to entry into a
business career. The program is offered on part-time or full-time basis.
60 — Indiana University of Pennsylvania
Core I of the program consists of 10 courses (31 s.h.), thiat provides a
foundation in the basic concepts and techniques used in today's business
world.
Core Jl consists of ten graduate level courses or thirty semester hours. Of
these, seven courses are required in the functional and applied areas of
business. The remaining three courses are electives which may be concen-
trated in one functional area, such as Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Man-
agement Information Systems or Management, by those students wishing to
develop an academic specialty within the broader field of business admin-
istration, or the electives may be taken from any combination of those areas or,
with permission, from other related areas by those students wishing a busi-
ness degree covering a broader range
Normally the student with an undergraduate degree in business admin-
istration would either go directly to the Core II subjects or would have a
minimal number of Core I subjects remaining.
However, a student with no undergraduate background in Business Admin-
istration would need to take more Core I classes. Therefore, for the student
with no Business Administration background, completing both Core I and Core
II will normally require two years of full-time study to achieve the MBA degree.
However, for a student with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration,
the requirements for the MBA can normally be completed in one year of full-
time study
If the student did not have these courses as an undergraduate, they may be
taken at lUP by the student or, with prior permission, at some other institutions.
In some cases, credit may be given for other, parallel educational experi-
ences. For example, there are certain corporate training programs in
computer languages that might be accepted in lieu of the introductory under-
graduate computer course. In some instances, course credit may be given by
examination for these prerequisite courses. Please contact the Director of
Graduate Studies in Business for information concerning the prerequisite
courses.
Students seeking enrollment in the MBA program or M.S. in Business pro-
gram must take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) before
being admitted to the program. Information about the GMAT can be obtained

CHEMISTRY
The Chennistry Department offers tfiree different degree programs on the
master's level: the Master of Education, Master of Science, and the Master of
Arts degrees in chemistry.
The Master of Education program is designed for the secondary school
teacher, affording the teacher the opportunity to gam more knowledge of
chemistry and keep abreast of a rapidly changing field. The major emphasis is
on subject matter. The student may enroll on either a full- or part-time basis.
The Master of Science degree is for the chemist who intends to pursue
further graduate work leading to a PhD or who intends to work as a profes-
sional chemist and desires to become more competent in chemistry This
degree is research oriented and successful completion of an experimental
thesis IS required. Also two consecutive semesters of residency are required.
The Master of Arts degree is designed to meet the needs of the chemist
who is currently a full-time employee of the chemical or academic institution
and who wishes strengthening in those areas relevant to the professional
position The emphasis here is on course work.
Four core courses, one in each of the areas of inorganic, organic, ana-
lytical, and physical chemistry, are required in the MS and MA programs.*
Beyond this point the programs separate with the MS and MA student taking
more specialized work in chemistry along with an experimental research prob-
lem. The MEd candidate will take broadening courses which increase the
effectiveness of a teacher. The MA candidate will take more specialized work
in chemistry and will be encouraged to take courses outside the sciences if
they are relevant to the particular area of employment.
General Admissions Requirements — Students should have completed
one year each of general chemistry, analytical chemistry, organic chemistry,
physical chemistry.*' general physics, and calculus. Students wishing to
specialize in biochemistry should also have had an undergraduate course in
biochemistry. Students deficient in the above areas of study may also be
admitted provided these deficiencies are made up concurrently with the stu-
dent's graduate studies.
The general requirements for admission to candidacy for a master s
degree are discussed on page 25 ot the bulletin.
*An exception to this is afforded the student wishing to specialize in bio-
chemistry.
**Only one semester of physical chemistry is required for education majors.

M. Certification as an Instructional Media Specialist
The specialist certificate in Instructional Media may be awarded to
students who hold at least a Pennsylvania Level I or equivalent certificate
valid for elementary or secondary education and who complete 24
semester hours of graduate work in the curriculum of Communications
Media and related subjects. With the approval of an adviser, each student
will select a balance of courses from each of the two course concentration
blocks described earlier; however, CM 503, 61 5, 630. 660. and 669 must be
included in the courses selected. Application for the Certificate is made
through the Communications Media Department to the Pennsylvania
Department of Public Instruction.
By careful structuring of their program it is possible for students to obtain
both the MEd degree and the Instructional Media Specialist Certification
concurrently. Usually this will require slightly more than the 30 semester
hours of minimum credits required for the MEd but students often find it to
their advantage to fulfill the requirements for both programs.
Graduate school admission does not automatically ensure acceptance
into the certificate program. Successful applicants will present evidence of
(1 ) the intellectual ability to do acceptable graduate work. (2) satisfactory
80 — Indiana University of Pennsylvania
scores on the GRE, and (3) the requisite personal qualifications of char-
acter, health, and professional background. The departmental graduate
faculty will make the necessary determinations.

ENGLISH
A candidate for a master's degree in English may choose a program
leading to either the Master of Education or the Master of Arts. The choice will
depend on the background of the candidate and his/her purpose of pursuing
graduate study. Both programs share a common aim of increasing the candi-
date's knowledge of English language and literature and introducing the stu-
dent to the discipline of advanced study. In addition, the Master of Education
degree aims at preparing teachers for public schools.
After a student is admitted to The Graduate School, the Director of Grad-
uate Studies will consult with him or her about the scheduling of courses. The
student should apply for the candidacy before 12 credits have been earned.
The writing of a thesis is optional for both the MA and the MEd degree. The
English department values writing and research: however, a candidate's deci-
sion concerning the thesis should be made on the basis of his/her purposes in
obtaining the degree and the extent to which training in research will enhance
both professional and personal goals. Under special circumstances and upon
request from The Graduate School, a thesis may be written for additional credit
after the student has already completed the master's degree without a thesis.
MASTER OF ARTS IN ENGLISH
The MA degree either with or without athesis requires a minimum of 30 s. h.
beyond the bachelor's degree. The candidate who chooses not to write a
thesis will take all 30 s h. in course work. Depending upon the nature of the
thesis, the candidate who chooses to do research will take either three or six
s.h. of the minimum 30 as thesis and the remainder in course work.
Required of all MA candidates ared ) EN 674 and (2) proficiency in a single
language in addition to English. The language requirement may be satisfied by
acceptable undergraduate credit of 12 hours, by examination through the
Foreign Languages Department at lUP, or by the Graduate School, Foreign
Language Test through the Educational Testing Service, Princeton.
The MA candidate may apply a maximum of six s.h. in a related field (e.g.

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY PROGRAMS
There are two distinct doctoral programs in English, one in English and
American literature, and the other in English Education designed for English
teachers in the community college. Both programs lead to a Doctor of
Philosophy in English.
I. Doctor of Philosophy in English and American Literature
The program leading to the Doctor of Philosophy in English and American
literature is designed for those who wish to teach at the college or university
level. As such, this plan of study places strong emphasis upon the humanistic
tradition in literature, for the values expressed therein are felt to be the
essential concern of a liberal arts education. A candidate for this degree is
expected.to acquire a broad knowledge in limited areas of study and to show
through the completion of an acceptable dissertation the ability to conduct an
independent investigation of a topic approved by the department. To become
a candidate the applicant must meet all The Graduate School requirements for
candidacy, as well as the special requirements of the English department.
Admission to course work beyond the master's degree does not constitute
admission to candidacy for the PhD program. No specific number of course
credits entitles a student to the degree, but a minimum of 60 semester hours of
credit, exclusive of research credits, must be earned beyond the bachelor's
degree. Applications for candidacy will be reviewed by a departmental com-
mittee after nine hours of graduate credit have been earned beyond the
master's degree and before 16 hours have been completed. In determining
whether or not an applicant should be accepted as a candidate forthe degree
of Doctor of Philosophy, an Advisory Committee will consider the applicant's
scores on the Graduate Record Examination, performance in course work,
and whenever applicable, performance as a teaching-intern.
On application for candidacy, the candidate will be assigned to an Advisory
Committee who will help the candidate prepare a plan of study for a compre-
hensive examination, both written and oral, which will be taken on the
recommendation of the Advisory Committee near the end of course require-
ments and before registering for EN 950 dissertation credits.
The linguistic requirement for PhD candidates, which must be completed
before the comprehensive examinations, may be satisfied by one of the
following comparative study options: (1 ) six graduate credits in theoretical or
applied linguistics; (2) six graduate credits in computer languages; (3) foreign
language proficiency as measured either by ETA or Foreign Language
Programs and Courses— 107
English
Department examinations. The student's Advisory Committee will attempt to
suit the language study to the student's needs as a teacher and researcher.
Sole authority in determining foreign language proficiency rests with the
Advisory Committee.
On approval of the Advisory Committee, a candidate may take as many as
nine graduate hours of course work in a minor field in support of major
research interest.
Although there are specific requirements for the degree, the professional
and educational background of a numberof students will make it necessary to
waive certain requirements to avoid needless duplication. Decisions to waive
requirements will be made by the student's Advisory Committee.
Candidates must demonstrate the capacity to teach effectively, either in
the departmental teaching-internship program, or through other acceptable
teaching experience. English is required of all candidates.
As this catalog is being prepared, the PhD program in English and Ameri-
can literature is undergoing revisions in order to strengthen its emphasis upon
the English teacher as humanist. Both requirements and course offerings can
be expected to change. A complete description can be obtained from the
English Department or from the Graduate School.
li. Doctor of Philosophy in English (Education)
The program which leadstotheDoctorof Philosophy in English is designed
for teaching English in the community college or the four-year college. The
pre-service candidate for this degree is expected to acquire a thorough under-
standing of the community college as an institution and to demonstrate, largely
through a semester's internship at a community college, the ability to teach
effectively.
The in-service candidate for this degree may have the internship waived
after a description and evaluation of his/her teaching experiences have been
accepted.
Upon admission to the program, the candidate will be assigned to a Pro-
gram/Evaluation Committee which will, in consultation with the candidate,
work out a program of study. The Program/Evaluation Committee will review
also the candidate's application for candidacy, which must be submitted after
nine hours of graduate credit have been earned and before 15 hours have
been completed. Another function of the Program/Evaluation Committee will
be to prepare a comprehensive examination, written and oral, for each candi-
date.
Although there are some general course and research requirements for
this degree, they may be waived by the student's Program/Evaluation Com-
mittee if they believe the student has already acquired the information or
specific competencies which these courses are designed to communicate or
develop. These general course requirements are as follows: EN 689, EN 692,
EN 631 , EN 603, a course in the teaching of literature, nine hours of elective
credits in psychology, sociology, communications media, etc.; a dissertation
related to English education; a semester's internship at a community college.
As this catalog is being prepared, the program is undergoing revision of
requirements and of course offerings. A complete description can be obtained
from the English Department or from the Graduate School.

PHYSICS
The graduate program in physics offers a choice of three degrees: a Master
of Education, a Master of Arts, and a Master of Science. The student obtaining
a master s degree for fulfillment of certification requirements usually selects
either the Master of Education Degree or the Master of Arts Degree. The
student obtaining a master's degree for additional preparation for research, an
industrial position, or further graduate work will usually select the Master of
Science Degree.
With a wide range of possible courses and research areas available, the
student is required to have the consent of his/her department adviser before
selecting a course or initiating a research project. Adviser assignments are
made as soon as the acceptance of a graduate student reaches the physics
department. The graduate student should arrange appointments with his/her
adviser by contacting the secretary in the physics office.
Almost any combination of educational goals can be met.

MASTER OF ARTS IN PHYSICS
This program is the most flexible of the three graduate degree programs
offered by the Physics Department. Each student's program is designed to
meet his or her individual needs by the student and adviser working together.
The educational goals of students in many categories can be met while the
student is working to attain his/her degree. Several examples of the category
of student who may select this degree program are:
1 . The student whose undergraduate training is in Physics Education,
Physical Science Education, orScience Education with a strong profes-
sional education component. This student may need more content than
professional education. In this program the student may, with the con-
currence of his/her adviser, enroll in exactly that ratio of content
courses to professional eductaion courses which are necessary to
attain his/her goals.

2. The student who holds a teaching certificate in a field other than physics
but IS a secondary school physics teacher. These students often require
formal course work in a number of areas of Physics in order to have
Physics added to their certificate. This is normally a requirement of their
school district and/or the Commonwealth. This program allows them to
meet this requirement while working toward a degree.
3. The student who wishes to enroll in a cooperative program including
those programs with internshipcomponents Students may earn eightto
12 s.h. during a semester while interning under one of the special pro-
grams instituted by the University.

SOCIOLOGY
Sociology is the study of societyand human social relationships. Advanced
training in sociology should enable the student to think critically and reflec-
tively about the social world and to be able to use the knowledge acquired in a
variety of ways: Sociology is relevant to a number of careers. Many students
plan to affiliate themselves with professional social service, governmental, or
research organizations, while other students pursue academic sociological
careers. The MA program in Sociology is designed to serve these various
needs and interests of students.

MASTER OF ARTS IN SOCIOLOGY
In addition to graduate school admission requirements, the student should
have completed at least 1 2 hours of undergraduate sociology courses with an
average grade of B or better. In individual cases the department may allow a
promising student to enter the program with deficiences. Such deficiencies
must be made up by taking specific courses at the discretion of the depart-
ment in addition to the required total number of course hours.
All MA students are required to complete the two basic core requirements:
SO 664 Research Seminar in Sociology, and SO 667 Contemporary Socio-
logical Theory. Beyond the completion of these two courses, the MA in
Sociology allows the student two options:
Thesis Option: In addition to the two core courses, students will complete
an additional 1 8 s.h. of coursework (1 2 s.h. of which must be in sociology) and
a six s.h. thesis (SO 850)
Non-Thesis Option: In addition to the two core courses, students will
complete an additional 30 s.h. of coursework (21 s.h. of which must be in
sociology).
Students planning further academic work in sociology may find the thesis
option most helpful, while those going on to community-related work might find
the non-thesis option most beneficial. Specific programs of study are planned
by student and assigned faculty adviser when the student enters the program.
Students may later alter their program of studies in consultation with their
advisers. Such flexibility in structuring the curriculum, we believe, will best
serve students.
No more than one-third of a student's work toward the MA may be in dual-
level (500) courses. Therefore, those selecting the thesis option are limited to
nine s.h. of dual-level coursework, while those selecting the non-thesis option
Will be permitted no more than 1 2 s.h. of dual-level coursework. Furthermore,
students whoenrolledfordual-level courses while undergraduates at lUP may
not repeat the same courses for credit as graduate students.
