General
Information
Admission to Graduate School
General
Responsibility for admitting applicants to graduate programs rests with the Dean and
the staff, who regularly seek the advice of the department chair and graduate
admission committees of the academic programs in making their decisions. In the
case of foreign student applicants, the University's Director of International Education
Services is also consulted. Standards applied by the Graduate School and individual
programs are to insure that students admitted have high qualifications and a
reasonable expectation of successfully completing a graduate program. Standards for
admission to doctoral programs are frequently higher than those for admission to
master's programs. In many degree programs applications by qualified students for
admission to graduate study regularly exceed the number of students who can be
accommodated. In order to maintain programs of outstanding quality, the number of
spaces in each program is limited according to the availability of faculty, special
resources, and funds for students requiring financial assistance. The Graduate School
admits the most highly qualified applicants up to the limit of the number of spaces in
each program.
Criteria for Admission
Notes about Eligibility for Admission
Those who have earned or will earn a bachelor's degree at a college or university in
the United States or the equivalent of this degree in another country, will be
considered for admission to the Graduate School at UMCP.
a. Students may apply for admission to the University of Maryland during or after
their final year of undergraduate study, but must furnish proof of graduation before the
end of their first term of enrollment at the University.
b. Students applying for admission to a master's degree program in a field of
specialization in which they already hold a master's degree or its equivalent may do so
only if the previous degree program was of substantially different character or was not
accredited.
c. Summer only — Students applying for entrance in either of the two summer
sessions should check the Summer Sessions Bulletin to determine if the courses they
wish to take will be offered. To obtain this publication, write to Summer Sessions
Office, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland, 20742.
d. Non-U. S. Citizens who are Permanent Residents and or immigrants may use
regular applications. Other Non-U. S. Citizens must use the International Student
12 Admission to Graduate School
Application Formobtainable from of the Office of Graduate Admissions, Graduate
School, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland, 20742. Applications from all
other Non-U. S. Citizens must be received in the Graduate School Office on or before
February 1 for Fall Semesters and on or before June 1 for Spring Semesters.
The decision to admit an applicant to a program is based primarily on a
combination of the following criteria according to requirements of the specific program
or department.
1. Quality of previous undergraduate and graduate work. The Graduate School
requires as a minimum standard a B average or 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, in a program of
study resulting in the award of a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited
college or university. In addition, the student's undergraduate program should
include completion of the prerequisites for graduate study in the chosen field. In
individual programs, where resources are available, a few applicants who do not
meet this minimum standard for undergraduate work may be provisionally admitted
if there is compelling evidence on the basis of other criteria of a reasonable
likelihood of success in the program the person desires to enter. If an applicant has
studied at the graduate level elsewhere less weight may be, but is not necessarily,
placed on the quality of the undergraduate academic record. Some programs may
require a higher minimum grade average for admission.
2 Strength of letters of recommendation from persons competent to judge the
applicant's probable success in graduate school. Usually these letters are from
the applicant's former professors who are able to give an in-depth evaluation of the
applicant's strengths and weaknesses with respect to academic work. Additional
recommendations may come from employers or supervisors who are familiar with
the applicant's work experience. Applicants should instruct their references to
send all letters of recommendation directly to the program in which they desire
entrance. (See application form.)
3. Scores on a nationally standardized examination. Because the predictive utility of
these scores may vary from one group of applicants to another, a discriminating
use of all relevant materials will be made in each applicant's case. The three most
widely used standardized examinations are the Graduate Record Examinations,
Graduate Management Admissions Test, and the Miller Analogies Test.
.GRADUATE RECORD EXAMINATIONS (GRE): Although many graduate
programs do not require the GRE, almost all will use such test scores as an
additional measure of an applicant's qualifications. The GRE may be taken in
either or both of two forms: The General Test and The Advanced Test.
Applicants can take this test in their senior year or when filing for admission.
For details, applicants should write directly to Graduate Record Examinations,
Educational Testing Service, Box 955, Princeton, New Jersey 08540.
GRADUATE MANAGEMENT ADMISSIONS TEST (GMAT): Details about this test,
required when applying to a program in Business and Management, can be
obtained by writing to the Educational Testing Service, Box 966, Princeton, N.J.,
08540.
THE MILLER ANALOGIES TEST (MAT): Details about the graduate form of this
test can be obtained by writing to the Director, Counseling Center, University of
Maryland, College Park, Md. 20742.
For information on the programs requiring one of these tests, please see the List of
Graduate Programs in this catalog and the instructions accompanying application
Admission to Graduate School 13
forms.
4 Statement by the applicant of academic career objectives and their relation to
the intended program of study. These statements help the department or
program identify students whose objectives are consonant with the objectives of the
program.
5. Other evidence of graduate potential. Some programs require other evidence of
graduate potential, such as a portfolio of creative work, completion of specialized
examinations, or personal interviews.
Categories of Admission to Degree Programs
Full Graduate Status
For admission in this category an applicant must have received a baccalaureate
degree from a regionally accredited institution and be otherwise fully qualified in every
respect.
Provisional Graduate Status
This designation may be used wnen 1) the quality of the previous academic record at
a regionally accredited institution is lower than established standards or when there is
a lack of adequate prerequisite course work in the chosen field; 2) when applicants
have majored in another area with a creditable record but there is some doubt about
their ability to pursue the program of study in question; 3) when the applicant is
engaged in graduate study at another institution but is not able to furnish a transcript
indicating completion of course work or degree requirements; or 4) when the applicant
has completed the baccalaureate but has not yet submitted official verification of the
last semester's work and receipt of the degree. No student will be allowed to enroll
who has not completed the baccalaureate degree. Final official transcripts indicating
receipt of the degree must be submitted before the end of the first semester.
A program to correct any deficiencies in preparation will be outlined by the faculty,
and the student is expected to become fully qualified within a specified time limit.
When all conditions have been met, the department may recommend admission of the
student to full status. Students who are unable to qualify for full admission under the
conditions specified may have their admission terminated.
Non-degree Admission Categories
Advanced Graduate Specialist Certificate Status
The Advanced Graduate Specialist program is designed to promote a high level of
professional competence in an area of specialization in the field of education. The
candidate must be able to show that he or she can operate as an effective counselor,
administrator, teacher or skilled person in a major field of professional endeavor. The
Advanced Graduate Specialist Certificate is offered through most of the programs in
the College of Education and the Agricultural and Extension Education program in the
College of Agriculture. The Certificate is awarded by the College of Education or by
the College of Agriculture. Requirements are as follows:
1 . Applicants must meet the same general criteria for admission as are prescribed for
degree seekers. Additionally, the applicant must have completed a master's degree
or the equivalent in credits earned either at the University of Maryland or at another
regionally accredited institution. The Miller Analogies Test scores are required at
the time of application.
14 Admission to Graduate School
2. Coursework totaling not more than 30 credits with grades of at least a "B" from an
accredited institution may be transferred to the program at the University of
Maryland.
3. The program must be developed in cooperation with an advisor and filed with the
Graduate Studies office in the College of Education.
4. The Advanced Graduate Specialist Certificate program requires a minimum of 60
semester hours of credit with not less than 30 semester hours of credit completed
with the University of Maryland. At least one half of the credits earned either at
other institutions or at the University of Maryland must be in courses comparable to
those in the 600-800 series. The student may be required to take a substantial
portion of the program in departments other than those in the College of Education
or the College of Agriculture. Registration in certain kinds of field study, field
experience, apprenticeship or internship may also be required.
5. There will be a written examination of not less than six hours. A "B" average with no
"D" or "F" grades will be required before the certificate can be awarded.
For additional details see "Statement of Policies and Procedures; Advanced Graduate
Specialist Program in Education," issued by the College of Education.
Advanced Special Student Status
The Advanced Special Student Status is designed to provide an opportunity to
individuals who do not have an immediate degree objective in mind to take graduate
level courses. Although the primary mission of the Graduate School is to conduct
programs of graduate instruction leading to advanced degrees, the Graduate Faculty
welcomes, to the extent that resources allow, qualified students who have no degree
objectives. Unofficial transcripts or photocopies of diplomas will be accepted with the
application for evaluation purposes, but by the end of the first semester of enrollment,
the student must submit official copies of all required documents. Official transcripts
must be submitted from all institutions except the University of Maryland, College Park.
Applicants for admission to Advanced Special Student Status must hold a
baccalaureate degree and satisfy at least one of the following criteria:
1 Hold a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution with an
overall "B" (3.0) average. Applicants must submit official transcripts covering all
credits used in satisfying the baccalaureate degree requirements.
2 Hold a master's or doctoral degree from a regionally accredited institution.
Applicants must submit an official transcript showing the award of a master's or
doctoral degree.
3 Hold a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution and have
at least four years of successful post-baccalaureate work or professional
experience. Applicants must submit an official transcript showing the award of the
baccalaureate degree and a signed statement summarizing successful
post-baccalaureate work or professional experience.
4 Achieve a score that places the applicant in the upper 50 percentile of
appropriate national standardized aptitude examinations such as the Graduate
Record Examination Aptitude Test, the Miller's Analogies Test, the Graduate
Management Admissions Test. Where different percentiles are possible, the
Graduate School will determine which score is acceptable.
Admission to Advanced Special Student status will continue for five years. If there
is no registration in three consecutive academic year semesters, the admitted status
will lapse, after which a new application will be required.
Admission to Graduate School 15
Advanced Special Students must maintain a 2.75 grade point average.
Advanced Special Students must pay all standard graduate fees. Students in this
status are not eligible to hold appointments as Graduate Teaching or Research
Assistants or Fellows, or receive other forms of financial aid. All other services,
e.g. parking, library privileges, etc., are the same as those accorded to other graduate
students.
Admission to Advanced Special Student status is not intended to be used as a
preparatory program for later admission to a doctoral or master's program nor to the
Advanced Graduate Specialist Certificate program. Only six credits earned while in
this status may be applicable to a degree or certificate program at a later time, with
the approval of the faculty in the desired program, if the student is subsequently
accepted for degree or certificate study. For consideration of admission to a degree
program at a later time, the student must submit a new application.
Visiting Graduate Student Status
A graduate student matriculated in another graduate school who wishes to enroll in the
Graduate School of the University of Maryland at College Park and who intends
thereafter to return to the graduate school in which he is matriculated, may be
admitted as a Visiting Graduate Student.
Criteria for enrollment as a visitor are admission to and good standing in another
recognized graduate school. The applicant need not submit full transcripts of credits,
but must apply for admission to the UMCP Graduate School and pay the application
fee. In lieu of transcripts, a student may have the appropriate graduate dean certify, in
writing, to the Graduate School that the student is in good standing and that the
credits will be accepted toward the graduate degree. Unless otherwise specified,
admission will be offered for one year only.
National Science Foundation Institute Status
Application for admission to an NSF Institute should be made directly to the director of
the Institute. If admission to the Graduate School is also necessary, the decision will
be based on the same criteria for admitting other degree applicants. Admission to an
NSF Institute status does not imply that the individual will be automatically admitted in
any other status at a later date. The NSF status terminates upon completion of the
Institute in which the student was enrolled. A new application must be submitted for
admission to any other graduate status or program.
Students already admitted to a regular graduate degree or nondegree status may
also qualify for participation in an NSF Institute.
Undergraduate/Non-Degree Student (Special Student)
This is an undergraduate classification and may be assigned by the Director of
Admissions (undergraduate division) to those applicants who have received the
baccalaureate or an advanced degree from a regionally accredited institution but who
do not desire or who do not qualify for graduate admission. Non-degree seeking
students who do not have a baccalaureate degree or an R.N. must submit transcripts
and meet regular admission standards. Transcripts are not required from students with
baccalaureate degrees or an R.N.
Application for Non-degree Student Status— Undergraduate must be made directly
to the Office of Admissions, not to the Graduate School.
Students often need permission from the deans of the various schools and colleges
of the university to enroll as a Non-degree Student. Non-degree Students may enroll
16 Admission to Graduate School
for courses through the 500 numbered series for which they possess the necessary
prerequisites. Courses numbered 600 or above are intended for admitted graduate
students only.
The student is warned that no credit earned while in a Non-degree Student
Status — Undergraduate may be applied at a later date to a degree program.
Offer of Admission
A written offer of admission is made to all accepted applicants and specifies the date
of entrance, which will normally coincide with the date requested in the application.
The student must accept or decline the offer of admission by the date indicated in the
offer. Individuals whose offers of admission have lapsed must submit a new
application and fee, if they want to be reconsidered for admission at a later date.
The offer of admission is also a permit-to-register for courses and must be
presented by the student at the time of the first registration. Identification as a
graduate student, to be used thereafter, will be issued at the time of first registration.
Admission Time Limits
Applicants are offered admission for a five-year period. A doctoral student must be
admitted to candidacy within five years of entrance, after which another four-year
period is permitted for the completion of the remaining requirements.
Change of Degree-Level or Program
Students are admitted only to a specified program and within that program only for the
specified objective: e.g., master's degree, doctoral degree, or Advanced Graduate
Specialist Certificate. If students wish to change either the program or their status (for
example, from Advanced Special Student to degree status), they must submit a new
application. Admission in the new status is not granted automatically.
Students must be re-admitted when the original objective has been attained; for
example, when a student who is admitted for the master's degree completes the
requirements for that degree. If the student wishes to continue for the doctorate, a new
application for admission to the doctoral program must be submitted; requests for
admission to the doctoral program are subject to the same review process applied to
others seeking admission to that program.
A student can be admitted to only one graduate program at any one time.
Application for and acceptance of an offer of admission in a second graduate program
automatically invalidates the student's admission to the first program.
Termination of Admission
Students must maintain an average grade of B or better in all graduate courses taken
and must otherwise satisfy all additional departmental and Graduate School program
requirements. The admission of all students, both degree and non-degree, is
continued at the discretion of the major professor, the department or program director,
and the Dean for Graduate Studies and Research.
Admission to Graduate School 17
Admission of Faculty
No member of the faculty employed by the University of Maryland having the rank of
Assistant Professor or above is permitted to take work leading to an advanced degree
at this institution. Faculty who wish to take course work for personal enrichment may
wish to investigate the Advanced Special Student status.

applicants are ready to begin their studies, they will be expected to read, speak, and
write English fluently, to understand lectures and to take pertinent notes.
Financial Resources
Each international applicant must furnish a statement of financial status to the Office of
International Education Services. Approximately $12,480.00 annually is required for
educational and living expenses. This figure, for the 1984-85 academic year,
increases annually.
Immigration Documents
It is necessary for students eligible for admission to- secure from the university's
Director of International Education Services the immigration form required for obtaining
the appropriate visa. Students already studying in the United States who wish to
transfer to the University of Maryland must also secure proper immigration documents
to request the Immigration and Naturalization Service to grant permission for transfer.
Fees and Expenses 19
Reporting Upon Arrival
Every foreign student is expected to report to the Office of International Education
Services, North Administration Building, as soon as possible after arrival at the
University. This Office will be able to assist not only with various problems regarding
immigration, housing, and fees, but also with problems relating generally to orientation
to university and community life.
Questions concerning criteria and requirements for foreign applicants should be
addressed to the Director, International Education Services, University of Maryland,
College Park, Md. 20742.
Records Maintenance and Disposition
All records, including academic records from other institutions, become part of the
official file and can neither be returned nor duplicated for any purpose. Students
should obtain an additional copy of their official credentials to keep in their possession
for advisory purposes and for other personal requirements.
The admission credentials and the application data of applicants are retained for
18 months only and then destroyed in the following cases: 1) Applicants who do not
register for courses at the time for which they have been admitted; 2) Those whose
applications have been disapproved; 3) Applicants who do not respond to the
departmental requests for additional information; and 4) Those whose applications are
not complete with respect to the receipt of all transcripts or test results.
Fees and Expenses
Payment of Fees
Registration is not completed or official until all financial obligations are satisfied.
Although the University regularly mails bills to students, it cannot assume responsibility
for their receipt. If a student does not receive a bill on or before the beginning of each
semester, it is the student's responsibility to obtain a copy of the bill at Room 1103,
South Administration Building, 8:30-4:30, Monday through Friday.
The University of Maryland does not have a deferred payment plan. Payment for
past due balances and current semester fees are due on or before the first day of
classes.
It is the policy of the University not to defer payment on the basis of a pending
application for financial assistance to an outside agency, including Veterans
Administration benefits, bank loans, guaranteed student loan programs, etc.
Students will be severed from University services for delinquent indebtedness to
the University. In the event that severance occurs, the individual may make payment
during the semester in which services were severed and all services except housing
will be restored. A $25.00 Restoration of Services fee will be assessed in addition to
payment for the total past due amount.
State of Maryland legislation has established a State Central Collections Unit, and
in accordance with State law the University is required to turn over all delinquent
accounts to that office for collection and subsequent legal action.
20 Fees and Expenses
Refund of Fees
A Cancellation of Registration submitted to the Withdrawal and Reenrollment Office
before the official first day of classes entitles the student to a full credit or refund of
semester tuition.
After classes begin, students who wish to terminate their registration must follow the
withdrawal procedures stated in the "Schedule of Classes." Students will find the
necessary forms for withdrawal in the Records Office. The effective date used in
computing refunds is the date the withdrawal form is filed. "Stop Payment" on a
check, failure to pay the semester bill, failure to attend classes, do not constitute
withdrawal.
A request for a refund must be processed by the student with the Division of

Determination of In-State Status for Admission, Tuition and
Charge-Differential Purposes
An initial determination of in-state status for admission, tuition and charge-differential
purposes will be made by the University at the time a student's application for
admission is under consideration. The determination made at that time, and any
determination made thereafter shall prevail in each semester until the determination is
successfully challenged. The deadline for meeting all requirements for an in-state
status and for submitting all documents for reclassification is the last day of registration
for the semester the student wishes to be classified as an in-state student.
The volume of requests for reclassification may necessitate a delay in completing
the review process. It is hoped that a decision in each case will be made within ninety
(90) days of a request for determination. During this period of time, or any further
period of time required by the University, fees and charges based on the previous
determination must be paid. If the determination is changed, any excess fees and
charges will be refunded.
Persons who are interested in obtaining a copy of the regulations or who wish
assistance with their classification should contact: The Graduate School Office of
Graduate Records, Room 2117, South Administration Building, University of Maryland.

22 Fellowships, Assistantships and Financial Assistance
Fellowships, Assistantships and Financial
Assistance
The University of Maryland recognizes the high cost of education today and makes
every effort to offer financial assistance to qualified students through a variety of
programs. Approximately one-half of all full-time graduate students receive financial
support, which may include remission of tuition fees, through teaching and research
assistantships, the work-study program, and University and state fellowships. Referrals
for on-campus or area employment opportunities for students and students' spouses
are also available in various departments and in specific student service centers on
campus.
Admission to a graduate program is a prerequisite for the award of a teaching or
research assistantship, a fellowship, a traineeship, a loan, or a work-study award.
Please be sure that all required documents for your application for admission, as well
as the appropriate application for financial aid, have been submitted. Some awards
are made on the basis of the applicant's academic merit, others onthe basis of need.
There are three campus units which administer the primary forms of financial
support: the Graduate School, the individual programs, and the Office of Student
Financial Aid. The Graduate School processes applications for the University of
Maryland Fellowships (application deadline: February 1) and the Other Race Grants
(application deadlines: early November and June). The individual programs award
graduate teaching and research assistantships (priority application deadline: March 1)
and nominate students for the Graduate Fellowships (to be considered for nomination,
apply by February 1). The Office of Student Financial Aid processes College
Work-Study and National Direct Student Loans (priority date for consideration:
February 15). To be considered for the priority date in the Office of Student Financial
Aid, you must have submitted a completed University financial aid application, a
completed Financial Aid Form (available at most colleges throughout the country and
by request from the Office of Student Financial Aid), financial aid transcripts, if
appropriate, and any other required documentation to be received by the Office of
Student Financial Aid by February 15. Note that the Financial Aid Form must be sent to
the College Scholarship Service in Princeton for analysis, which takes approximately 4
weeks.
A more detailed description of the various forms of financial assistance is given
below.
Fellowships
A fellowship is an award bestowed on a student who displays academic merit and
promise. All applicants for fellowships must be admitted to the Graduate School on a
full-time basis to be eligible. Inquiries and requests for appropriate forms should be

department in which they intend to enroll. The stipend, which includes remission of
tuition, was $7,000 for the 1985-86 academic year. The standard application for
financial aid will serve as an application for this fellowship program and must be
submitted by February 1 directly to the department in which you seek admission.
Awards are based upon the nomination and recommendation of the department chair.
Other Race Grants This grant is intended to increase the participation of Black
students in graduate education at the College Park campus. Students who are
first-year students and students in disciplines in which Blacks are underrepresented
will be given preference.
Applicants for the Other Race grant must:
(1) Be citizens or permanent resident aliens who are classified as Maryland
residents;
(2) Be admitted as degree-seeking students;
(3) Be willing to register as full-time students;

First-time students who are residents of the state of Maryland and have an
undergraduate GPA of 3.60 or better from an accredited American college or
university may ask their departments to nominate them for a Graduate Tuition
Scholarship. If you think you qualify, please mark the appropriate space on the
departmentally- administered financial aid form. Departments may have additional
criteria, e.g., full-time status, for nomina tion of students in their program.
Assistantships
Offers of assistantships, which are made by the individual departments, arecontingent
upon the applicant's acceptance as a graduate student by the Graduate School.
Departments may set additional criteria.
Graduate Teaching Assistantships are available to qualified graduate students in
many departments and programs. In addition to remission of tuition, these carry
ten-month or twelve month stipends ranging, in 1985-86, from $7,000 to $9,480.

students to borrow money from their hometown banks or other local financial
Fellowships, Assistantships and Financial Assistance 25
institutions. When the student's adjusted gross income, or that of his/her parents in the
case of dependent students, exceeds $30,000, students must submit documentation,
to determine need. Graduate students in good standing may borrow up to $5,000 per
year, but state agencies and individual banks may set their own limits up to this
amount. A five percent origination fee will be deducted from the face value of each
student's loan. In 1985-86 new notes bear 8% simple interest. Students who
previously borrowed at 7% or 9% may continue to borrow at that rate. Monthly
repayments begin six months after graduation or withdrawal from school. The federal
government will pay the interest for eligible students while the student is in school.

Golden Identification Card for Senior Citizens of Maryland
The purpose of this status is to make available without charge courses and services of
the University's campuses to citizens who are 60 years of age or older, who are
residents of the State of Maryland and who are retired (retired persons will be
considered those who affirm that they are not engaged in gainful employment for more
than 20 hours per week). People meeting these requirements may apply for graduate
admission, either as degree or nondegree students, and must meet the same
admissions criteria pertaining to either category as do all applicants. Once admitted
and having been issued the Golden Identification Card, such persons may register for
courses in any session, subject to the same restrictions as any other student, and use
the library and other campus facilities during the time they are enrolled in courses.
Tuition fees will be waived for holders of the Golden Identification Card.
Veterans Benefits
Recent federal legislation has had significant impact on the veteran-graduate student.
People who originally were entitled to 36 months of V.A. Educational Benefits now have
a total of 45 months of educational benefits. The new complement of benefits can be
used for graduate work.
See the Veterans Section of the current Schedule of Classes for other current
26 Registration and Credits
information.
Veterans Administration counselors work on campus full-time to assist veterans,
their dependents, and servicemen and women with all V.A. related questions and
problems. These representatives can offer you help in getting your monthly educational
assistance checks, as well as other less known but available benefits. Some of these
are compensation for service connected disabilities, guaranteed home loans, and
vocational rehabilitation services for disabled veterans.
Related information, such as facts on individual state bonuses, removal of
derogatory SPN codes from your military discharge (DD214), and University of
Maryland Veterans Club activities, is also available.
The counselors are available on a walk-in-basis during normal office hours in Room
1108 North Administration Building. Telephone 454-3430.
Registration and Credits
Registration for courses is ongoing during most of the time that the University is in
session. Information concerning registration procedures, deadlines, and current tuition
and expenses is found in the "Schedule of Classes," published regularly by the Office
of Registration and Records. Students interested in summer session courses should
consult the Summer Session "Schedule of Classes," obtainable from the Office of
Summer Sessions, Reckord Armory.
Academic Calendar
The Academic Calendar is printed in the "Schedule of Classes" for each semester. The
Graduate School has an "Important Dates" card for graduate students, which lists
deadlines for submitting requirements for degrees in a particular academic year.
Developing a Program
The student is responsible for ascertaining and complying with the rules and
procedures of the Graduate School and all applicable department or graduate
program requirements which govern the individual program of study.
Registration for the newly admitted graduate student seeking a degree or certificate
begins with a visit to the student's academic advisor in the graduate program or
department to which the student has been admitted. There the student will obtain
information about specific degree or certificate requirements, which supplement those
of the Graduate School.
The student will consult the "Schedule of Classes" and will develop, in consultation
with a graduate faculty advisor, an individual program of study and research.
Students admitted to Advanced Special Student Status may seek advice from the
Office of the Dean for Graduate Studies and Research or from appropriate faculty
members.
While most questions normally raised by graduate students, and most problems
they meet, will be answered or resolved by the faculty advisor or a departmental
committee, students should remember that -the staff of the Graduate School is
specifically charged with the responsibility for assisting graduate students who need
additional information, guidance, or assistance. Further, the Dean for Graduate
Students is the individual to whom requests or petitions for exceptions or waivers of
regulations or graduate degree requirements should be addressed and to whom
Registration and Credits 27
appeals from decisions of departmental or program faculty or administrators should be
directed.
Course Numbering System
Courses are designated as follows:
000-099— Non-credit courses.
100-199 — Primarily first-year courses.
200-299 — Primarily sophomore courses.
300-399 — Junior and senior courses not acceptable for credit toward graduate
degrees.
400-499 — Junior and senior courses acceptable for credit toward some graduate
degrees.
500-599 — Professional school courses (Dentistry, Law, Medicine) and
post-baccalaureate courses not for graduate degree credit.
600-898 — Courses restricted to graduate students.
799 — Master's thesis credit.
899— Doctoral dissertation credit
The first character of the numeric position determines the level of the course and
the last two digits are used for course identification. Courses ending with an 8 or 9 are
courses that are repeatable for credit. All non-repeatable courses must end in 0
through 7.
Graduate credit will not be given unless the student has been admitted to the
Graduate School.
Designation of Full and Part-time Graduate Students
In order to reflect accurately the involvement of graduate students in their programs of
study and research and the use of University resources in those programs, the
Graduate School uses the graduate unit in making calculations to determine full or
part-time student status in the administration of the minimum registration requirements
described below and in responding to student requests for certification of full-time
student status. The number of graduate units per semester credit hour is calculated in
the following manner:
Courses in the series: 000-399 carry 2 units/credit hour.
Courses in the series: 400-499 carry 4 units/credit hour.
Courses in the series: 500-599 carry 5 units/credit hour.
Courses in the series: 600-898 carry 6 units/credit hour.
Research course: 799 carries 12 units/credit hour.
Research course: 899 carries 18 units/credit hour.
To be certified as a full-time student a graduate student must be officially
registered for a combination of courses equivalent to 48 units per semester. Graduate
assistants holding regular appointments are full — time students if they are registered
for at least 24 units in addition to the assistantship. Courses taken for Audit do not
generate graduate units and cannot be used in calculating full- time or part-time
28 Registration and Credits
status.
Minimum Registration Requirements
All graduate students, masters and doctoral, making any demand upon the academic
or support services of the university, whether taking courses, using university libraries,
laboratories, computer facilities, office space, housing, or consulting with faculty
advisors, taking comprehensive or final oral examinations, must register for the number
of graduate units which will, in the judgment of the faculty advisor, accurately reflect
the student's involvement in graduate study and use of university resources. In no
case will registration be for less than one credit.
Minimum Registration Requirements for Doctoral Candidates
Doctoral students who have been advanced to candidacy must register each
semester, excluding summer sessions, until the degree is awarded.
Dissertation Research
Those who have not completed the required semester credit hours of Dissertation
Research (899) must register for a minimum of one credit of research each semester.
(See the following sections for specific doctoral degree registration requirements.)
Doctoral candidates whose demands upon the University are greater than that
represented by this minimum registration will, of course, be expected to register for the
number of units which reflect their use of University resources.
Continuous Registration
Doctoral candidates who have completed the required minimum of credit hours of
Dissertation Research (899), and who are making no use of University resources, must
meet a Continuous Registration requirement, in each semester, except for summer
sessions, until the degree is awarded. This requirement is met by submitting the
Continuous Registration Form and paying the $10.00 Continuous Registration fee, in
person or by mail, directly to the Graduate School. Forms and fees must be received
before the end of the eighth week of classes during the fall and spring semesters.
Continuous Registration forms may be obtained from the Graduate School, Room
2117, South Administration Building, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland
20742.
Failure to comply with the requirement for maintaining Continuous Registration will
be taken as evidence that the student has terminated the doctoral program, and
admitted status to the Graduate School will be terminated. A new application for
admission, with the consequent reevaluation of the student's performance, will be
required of a student wishing to resume a graduate program, whose admission has
been terminated under this regulation.
Partial Credit Course Registration for Handicapped Students
The Graduate School recognizes that physically handicapped students may derive
considerable educational benefit from courses which include laboratories or other
non-classroom activities in which the student is" prevented from participating because
of the handicap. It is, therefore, the policy of the Graduate School to allow
handicapped students to enroll in such courses, complete only those parts of the
course that their physical capabilities permit, and receive credit for the course
proportionate to their levels of participation.
Registration and Credits 29
Physically handicapped graduate students wishing to enroll in such courses but
participate only in certain aspects of them, should consult the Associate Dean for
Student Affairs in the Graduate School. The Dean will assist the student in making the
necessary arrangements with the department offering the course, the department
supervising the student's graduate program, and the Registration Office. The final
agreement as to the student's level of participation and the amount of credit to be
awarded will be specified in an agreement to be drawn up by the Graduate School
and signed by all parties concerned.
The Inter-Campus Student
A student admitted to the Graduate School on any campus of the University is eligible
to take courses on any other campus of the University with the approval of the
academic advisor and the graduate deans on the home and host campuses. Credits
earned on a host campus are resident credit at the home campus and meet all degree
requirements. Transcripts of work taken at another campus will be maintained on the
home campus, and fees will be paid to the home campus. Forms for registration as an
inter-campus student may be obtained from the Graduate School offices on any
campus of the University.
Registration Through the Washington Consortium Arrangement
The University of Maryland College Park is a member of the Consortium of Universities
of the Washington Metropolitan Area. Other institutions currently associated with the
consortium include the American University, The Catholic University of America, the
George Washington University, Howard University, University of the District of
Columbia, Gallaudet College, Mount Vernon College, and Trinity College. Students
enrolled in these institutions are able to attend certain classes at the other campuses
and have the credit considered "residence" credits at their own institutions. The
consortium program permits both undergraduate and graduate students to participate.
The policies governing registration through the Consortium arrangement are listed
below.
UMCP Graduate Students
1. University of Maryland College Park degree-seeking graduate students may take
courses at other consortium schools, to be treated as UMCP residence credits, with
the approval of the Director of Graduate Studies of the degree program in which
they are enrolled.
2. No more than 25% of the course credits required for the UMCP graduate degree
may be taken at other consortium schools through the consortium arrangement.
Practica, internships, workshops and similar experiential learning courses cannot
be taken at other consortium schools.
3. Significant factors to be considered by the Director of Graduate Studies may
include but are not limited to:
a. Unavailability of a similar of comparable course at UMCP within a reasonable
time frame. Mere convenience is not adequate justification.
b. Possible enhancement of the student's overall program in a way not possible at
UMCP, as by the presence of unique faculty or the availability of a course not
offered at UMCP.
c. The level and content of the course, including the nature of prerequisite
coursework.
30 Registration and Credits
Visiting Students
1 . Students from other consortium schools may register for University of Maryland
College Park courses on a space available basis beginning with the first day of
classes.
2. Courses for majors in departments or colleges at UMCP that have selective
admission programs will not normally be available to students from other
consortium schools.
3. Students from other consortium schools are expected to meet all prerequisites for
UMCP courses for which they wish to enroll.
4. Students from other consortium schools will not normally be permitted to register for
practica, workshops, internships and other experiential courses at UMCP.
5. Students from other consortium schools who have previously applied for admission
to a UMCP graduate degree program and have been denied admisssion will be
permitted to register for graduate courses in that program only with the specific
approval of the Director of Graduate Studies of that program.
6. Students from other consortium schools who have been dismissed from UMCP for
disciplinary or financial reasons will not be permitted to enroll in courses at UMCP
under the consortium arrangement.
Graduate Credit for Senior Undergraduates
A senior in the final semester at the University of Maryland at College Park who is
within seven credit hours of completing the requirements for an undergraduate degree
may, with the approval of the undergraduate dean, the provost of the division, the
department or program offering the course, and the Graduate School, register for
graduate courses. These may later be counted for graduate credit toward an
advanced degree at the University, if the student has been approved for admission to
the Graduate School. The total of undergraduate and graduate courses must not
exceed 15 credits for the semester. Excess credits in the senior year cannot be used
for graduate credit unless proper prearrangement is made. Seniors who wish to
register for graduate credit should inquire at the Graduate School, Office of the
Director of Records, for information about the procedure.
Undergraduate Credit for Graduate Level Courses
Subject to requirements determined by the graduate faculty members of the
department or program offering the course, undergraduate students may register for
graduate level courses, i.e., those numbered from 600 to 898, with the exception of
799 and 899, for undergraduate credit.
A student seeking to utilize this option will normally be in the senior year, have
earned an accumulated grade point average of 3.0, have successfully completed, with
a grade of B or better, the prerequisite and correlative courses, and be a major in the
appropriate or a closely related department. The student will be required to obtain
prior approval of the department offering the course.
Enrollment in a graduate level course does not in any way imply subsequent
departmental or Graduate School approval for admission into a graduate program, nor
may the course be used as credit for a graduate degree at the University of Maryland.
Registration and Credits 31
Credit by Examination
A graduate student may obtain graduate credit by examination in courses at the 400
level previously identified by the appropriate department or program. As a general
rule, credit by examination is not available for courses at the 600, 700, or 800 levels
for, in the judgment of the Graduate Council, courses at these levels require a
continuing interaction between faculty and students to achieve the educational goals of
advanced study.
Students may receive credit by examination only for courses for which they are
otherwise eligible to receive graduate credit. The department or program in which the
student is enrolled may establish a limit on the number of credits which may be earned
in this manner. Graduate students seeking credit by examination must obtain the
consent of their advisor and of the instructor currently responsible for the course. Once
the student begins the examination, the grade earned will be recorded.
The Graduate School maintains a list of courses for which examinations are
available or will be prepared. The fee for credit by examination is $30.00 per course
regardless of the number of credits or units to be earned.
Transfer of Credit
A maximum of six semester hours of graduate level course credits earned at regionally
accredited institutions prior to, or after, matriculation in the Graduate School may be
applied toward master's degrees at the University of Maryland. Proportionately larger
amounts of credit may be applied toward doctoral degrees.
All graduate study credits offered as transfer credit must meet the following criteria:
1 . They must have received graduate credit at the institution where earned.
2. They must not have been used to meet the requirements for any degree previously
earned.
3. They must have been taken within the time limits applicable to degrees awarded by
the Graduate School.
4. The department or program to which the student has been admitted at Maryland
must certify the courses are appropriate to the degree program the student is
pursuing at Maryland.
5. The student must have earned a B or better in the courses offered for transfer
credit.
6. Transfer work normally satisfies only the 400 level requirements for the master's
degree and does not apply to the upper level requirement.
A student seeking acceptance of transfer credit is advised to submit the necessary
transcripts and certification of department or program approval to the Graduate School
as promptly as possible for its review and decision.
Criteria that Courses Must Meet to be Accepted for Graduate Credit
Any courses, workshops, or seminars planned to take place in a span of time less than
a normal academic semester or summer session and offering graduate credit to the
participants must meet the following criteria:
1. There must be 15 "contact hours" per graduate credit.
a. Lectures: 1 contact hour per 50 minutes lecture.
b. Non-lecture contact (laboratory, workshops, discussion and problem working
sessions, etc.): 1 contact hour per 2 or 3 hour session.
2. No more than three "contact hours" per day will be permitted. (Three "contact
32 Registration and Credits
hours" are equivalent to 0.2 credits)
3. Credit may be accumulated at the rate of no more than one credit per week.
Course and Credit Changes
A graduate student may change elections (drop a course, add a course, change
between audit and credit status, change the number of credits for a course within the
listed range, cancel registration or withdraw from the University) by obtaining the
necessary approvals and observing the published deadlines and procedures. The
deadlines are published each term in the Schedule of Classes; the procedures
governing each of these transactions are listed below.
Procedures for Dropping a Course
A graduate student may drop a course through the 10th week of classes in a term by
submitting a Schedule Adjustment Form to the Registrations Office North
Administration Building. Currently, there is a $2.00 charge for each drop processed
after the 10th day of class. There is no refund of tuition and fees for drops processed
after the 5th class day (see Schedule of Classes).
Procedure for Adding a Course after Registration
A graduate student may add a course until the 10th day of classes in a term (see
Schedule of Classes for precise date each term), without paying the $2.00
administrative fee and without Graduate School approval.
To add a course:
Submit Schedule Adjustment Form to the Registration Office, North Administration
Building (an appointment is necessary during the first ten days of class. See Schedule
of Classes for further details).
After the 10th day of classes all graduate students are required to obtain:
1 . Departmental and instructor authorization stamped or written on the add slip.
2. Approval of the Office of the Associate Dean for Graduate Students, 2125 South
Administration Building, for each add.
Approved requests must be promptly delivered to the Records Office, 1101 North
Administration Building.
Procedures for Late Registration
Students registering after the established registration period and before the end of
business hours on the tenth day of classes in each term must call the Office of
Registrations and Records for an appointment to register during the late registration
period. Students registering after the established registration period (i.e., beginning
with the schedule adjustment period) will be assessed a $20 late registration fee.
To register after the tenth day of classes a graduate student must:
1 . Obtain the approval of the department written or stamped on the registration form.
2. Obtain the written approval of the Office of the Associate Dean for Student Affairs,
2125 South Administration Building. A written explanation of the circumstances
involved may be required.
Procedures for Credit Level Change and Change of Grading Option
Students wishing to change their grading option or credit level in a course may do so
without special approval until the tenth class day each term. After the tenth class day,
departmental and Graduate School authorization is required until the end of tenth
week. No credit level changes or changes or grading options are permitted after the
tenth week of classes.
Registration and Credits 33
1. Exceptions to this deadline require the written approval of the instructor and the
approval of the Graduate School.
2. The departmental stamp must be placed on the change of grading option/credit
level form.
3. Approved forms should be submitted to the Registrations Office, North
Administration Building.
Procedures for Withdrawal from the University.
Graduate students wishing to cancel their admitted status and withdraw permanently
from the University may do so at any time. The procedure for withdrawal is to write a
letter of resignation to the Associate Dean for Student Affairs. This letter will be
reviewed and processed and the necessary offices notified. Please note that although
students may withdraw during the course of a given term, they are liable for all fees
and other obligations due the University, and their academic records will reflect their
status at the time of withdrawal. It should be noted that readmission to the same
program is not possible should the student wish to return to the University at some
later time.
Procedure for Cancelling Registration for a Term
To cancel a registration for a given term, after the stated deadlines, a graduate student
must provide a written explanation, endorsed by the graduate director of his or her
program, to the Associate Dean for for Student Affairs. If appropriate, the request will
be processed and, if fees are involved, the necessary adjustments made. Please note
that the cancellation of one's classes during the course of a given term is not meant to
be used as a means of avoiding poor grades.
Grades for Graduate Students
A minimum grade point average of 3.0 on all graduate — level courses taken is required
for graduation with a graduate degree. Graduate students are required to meet all
departmental and program rules and regulations. Departments and programs may
stipulate requirements more stringent than those minimally expected by the Graduate
School.
Grading Systems
The conventional A through F grading system is used in graduate level courses.
A "Satisfactory or Failure" (S-F) grading system may be used, at the discretion of
the department of program, for certain types of graduate study. These include
courses which require independent field work, special projects, or independent study.
Departmental seminars, workshops, and departmental courses in instructional methods
may also be appropriate for the S-F grading system.
The "Pass-Fail" grading system is a grading option for undergraduates. However,
in certain cases, a Department or Program may give permission for a graduate student
to use the Pass-Fail option for any 100-300 level courses that student takes. Graduate
credit may not be earned for these courses.
Thesis and dissertation research, and courses labelled "Independent Study" or
"Special Problems," may use either the A-F or the S-F grading system.
Only one grading system will be used for a single course in a particular semester.
The grading system will be designated by the department or program offering the
course.
34 Degree Requirements
Computation of Grade Point Average
The A is calculated at 4 quality points, B at 3 quality points and C at 2 quality points.
The grades of D, F, and I receive no quality points. After a student is matriculated as a
graduate student, all courses taken numbered 400 and above, except 500-level
courses, those numbered 799 or 899, and those graded with an S, will be used in the
calculation of the grade point average. A student may repeat any course in an effort to
earn a better grade. The later grade, whether higher or lower, will be used in
computing the grade point average. Grades for graduate students remain as part of
the student's permanent record and may be changed only by the original instructor on
certification, approved by the department chair and the Dean for Graduate Studies
and Research, that an actual mistake was made in determining or recording the grade.
No course taken after August 23, 1974, will be considered "not applicable" for the
purpose of computing the grade point average of a graduate student. No graduate
credit transferred from another institution will be included in the calculation of the
grade point average.
The Academic Record (Transcript)
A graduate student's academic record (transcript) is intended to serve as a complete
history of the student's academic progress at the University of Maryland. As such, it
cannotbe altered except in conformance with stated Graduate School policies
governing change of election. Under no circumstances will the academic records be
altered because of dissatisfaction with a grade or other academic accomplishment.
Degree Requirements
Graduate School Requirements Applicable to all Master's Degrees.
Programs
The entire course of study undertaken for any master's degree must constitute a
unified, coherent program which is approved by the student's advisor and by the
Graduate School.
A minimum of thirty semester hours in courses acceptable for credit towards a
graduate degree is required; in certain cases six of the thirty semester hours must be
thesis research credits. The graduate program must include at least 12 hours of
course work at the 600 level or higher. If the student is inadequately prepared for the
required graduate courses, additional courses may be required, which may not be
considered as part of the student's graduate program. Credits to be applied to a
student's program for a master's degree cannot have been used to satisfy any other
previously earned degrees.
Grade-point Average
The student seeking any master's degree must maintain an average grade of B over
all courses taken for graduate credit.
Time Limitation
All requirements for the master's degree must be completed within a five year period.
This time limit applies to any transfer work from other institutions to be included in a
student's program.
Residence Requirements
Degree Requirements 35
A minimum residence of one year of full-time study, or its equivalent, at this university
is required.
Additional Requirements
In addition to the above requirements, special departmental or collegiate requirements
may be imposed, especially for degrees which are offered only in one department,
college, or division. For these special requirements consult the descriptions which
appear under the departmental or collegiate listing in this catalog or the special
publications which can be obtained from the department or college.
Graduate School Requirements for the Degrees of Master of Arts
and Master of Science
THESIS OPTION
Course Requirements
A minimum of 30 semester hours including six hours of thesis research credit (799) is
required for the degrees of Master of Arts and Master of Science. Of the 24 hours
required in graduate courses, no less than 12 must be earned in the major subject. No
less than one-half of the total required course credits for the degree, or a minimum of
twelve, must be selected from courses numbered 600 or above.
Thesis Requirement
A thesis must be submitted for the Master of Arts and Master of Science degrees
except for those programs in which a non-thesis option has been approved by the
Dean in conformity with the policy of the Graduate Council. Approval of the thesis is
the responsibility of an examining committee appointed by the Dean, on the
recommendation of the student's advisor. The advisor is the chairperson of the
committee, and the remaining members of the committee are members of the graduate
faculty who are familiar with the student's program of study. The chairperson and the
candidate are informed of the membership of the examining committee by the Dean.
Directions for the preparation and submission of theses will be found in the
Graduate School Requirements for Theses and Dissertations, which may be obtained
from the Room 2114, South Administration Building.
Oral Examination
A final oral examination on the thesis shall be held when the student has completed
the thesis to the satisfaction of the student's advisor, providing all other requirements
for the degree have been completed, and a 3.0 grade point average, computed in
accordance with the regulations described under "Grades for Graduate Students" has
been earned.
The examining committee, with a minimum of three members, conducts the oral
examination (an additional comprehensive written examination may be required at the
option of the department or program). The chairperson of the examining committee
selects the time and place for the examination and notifies other members of the
committee and the candidate. Members of the committee must be given a minimum of
seven school days in which to read the thesis. The duration of the examination is
normally about an hour, but it may be longer if necessary to insure an adequate
examination.
The decision to accept the examination as satisfactory must be unanimous.
Students may present themselves for examination only twice. The report of the
36 Degree Requirements
committee, signed by each member, must be submitted to the Dean for Graduate
Studies and Research no later than the appropriate date listed in the "Important Dates
for Advisors and Students," if the student is to receive a diploma at the
Commencement in the semester in which the examination is held.
NON-THESIS OPTION
The requirements for Master of Arts and Master of Science degrees without thesis vary
slightly among departments and programs in which this option is available. Standards
for admission are, however, identical with those for admission to any other master's
program. The quality of the work expected of the student is also identical to that
expected in the thesis programs.
The general requirements for those on the non-thesis program are a minimum of 30
semester credit hours in courses approved for graduate credit with a minimum
average grade of B in all course work taken; a minimum of 18 semester credit hours in
courses numbered 600 or above; the submission of one or more scholarly papers; and
successful completion of a comprehensive final examination, a portion of which must
be written.
A student following a non-thesis master's program will be expected to meet the
same deadlines for application for a diploma and for final examination reports
established for all other degree programs.
For information on programs which offer the non-thesis option, see the list of
Graduate Programs in this Catalog.
Requirements for the Degree of Master of Education
Nearly all departments in Education offer the Master of Education (M.Ed.) degree with
the following requirements:
1. A minimum of 30 semester hours in coursework with a grade average of B. Grades
for courses not a part of the program but taken in graduate status will be computed
in the average.
2. A minimum of 15 hours in courses numbered 600-800 with the remainder at least
in the 400 series. Some departments require courses in departments outside of
those in Education.
3. A comprehensive written examination taken at the end of coursework. A part of the
examination may be oral.
4. EDMS 646 or MUED 690 and one seminar paper; or two seminar papers.
5. EDMS 446 or EDMS 451.
6. Test battery.
For further details, see "Statement of Policies and Procedures: Master's Degrees in
Education," issued by the College of Education, and descriptions of departmental
programs.
Requirements Applicable to other Master's Degrees
The particular requirements for the degrees of Master of Architecture, Master of
Business Administration, Master of Library Science, Master of Music, and Master of
Fine Arts are given under the individual Graduate Program entries in those fields.
Degree Requirements 37
Graduate School Requirements Applicable to all Doctoral Degrees
Credit Requirements
The Graduate School requires that every student seeking the doctoral degree register
for a minimum of 12 research credits, but the number of research and other credit
hours required in the program varies with the degree and program in question.
Residence
The equivalent of three years of full-time graduate study and research is the minimum
required. Of the three years, the equivalent of at least one year must be spent at the
University of Maryland. On a part-time basis the time needed will be increased
correspondingly. All work at other institutions offered in partial fulfillment of the
requirements for any doctoral degree must be submitted, with the recommendation of
the department or program concerned, to the Graduate School for approval at the time
of application for admission to candidacy. Official transcripts of the work must be filed
in the Graduate School.
Admission to Candidacy
Preliminary examinations, or such other substantial tests as the departments may elect,
are frequently prerequisite for admission to candidacy.
A student must be admitted to candidacy for the doctorate within five years after
admission to the doctoral program and at least one academic year before the date on
which the degree will be conferred.
It is the responsibility of the student to submit an application for admission to
candidacy when all the requirements for candidacy have been fulfilled. Applications
for admission to candidacy are made in duplicate by the student and submitted to the
major department for further action and transmission to the Graduate School.
Application forms may be obtained at the Graduate School Records Office.
Time Limitation
The student must complete the entire program for the degree, including the
dissertation and final examination, during a four year period after admission to
candidacy. Extensions of time are granted only under the most unusual circumstances.
If students fall to complete all requirements within the time allotted, they must submit
another application for admission to the Graduate School and, if readmitted, another
application for Advancement to Candidacy, after satisfying the usual program
prerequisites prior to Advancement to Candidacy.
Dissertation
A dissertation or its equivalent is required of all candidates for a doctoral degree. The
topic of the dissertation must be approved by the department or program committee.
During the preparation of the dissertation, all candidates for any doctoral degree
must register for the prescribed number of semester hours of Doctoral Dissertation
Research (899) at the University of Maryland.
Directions for the preparation and submission of dissertations will be found in the
Graduate School Requirements for Theses and Dissertations, which may be obtained
from the Graduate School Records Office.
Publication of the Dissertation
If a student wishes to publish all or a portion of the thesis or dissertation prior to its
defense and approval by the Graduate Faculty examining committee, he or she must
first seek the approval of the Dean for Graduate Studies and Research. This approval
38 Degree Requirements
is sought through a letter to the Dean, endorsed by the dissertation advisor, containing
an explanation of the need for early publication.
Final Examination
The final oral defense of the dissertation is conducted by a committee of the Graduate
Faculty appointed by the Dean for Graduate Studies and Research. Nominations for
membership on the committee are submitted by the student's major professor by the
third week of the semester in which the student expects to complete all requirements,
but no later than two months prior to the examination, on the designated form.
The major professor serves as chair of the committee, which will consist of a
minimum of five voting members, all of whom hold the doctoral degree. At least one of
the five must be a Regular Member of the Graduate Faculty in a department or
graduate program at UMCP external to the one in which the student is seeking the
degree. A minimum of three members of the committee must be regular members of
the Graduate Faculty of the University of Maryland.
One or more members of the committee may be persons from other institutions who
hold the doctorate and who are distinguished scholars in the field of the dissertation.
One member of the committee, usually the campus member from another
department or program, is designated as the Dean's representative. In addition to
having the normal responsibility of a faculty examiner, the Dean's representative has
the responsibility of assuring that the examination is conducted according to
established procedures. Any disagreement over the examination procedures is
referred to the Dean's representative for decision.
The time and place of the examination are established by the chairperson of the
committee. The student is responsible for distributing a complete copy of the
dissertation to each member of the committee at least ten days before the
examination.
All final oral examinations are open to all members of the Graduate Faculty. After
the examination, the committee deliberates and votes in private. Two or more negative
votes constitute a failure. The student may be examined no more than twice.
Additional Requirements
In addition to the above requirements, special departmental or collegiate requirements
may be imposed, especially for those degrees which are offered in only one
department, college, or division. For these special requirements, consult the
descriptions which appear under the departmental or collegiate listing in this catalog
or the special publications which can be obtained from the department, college, or
division.
Graduate School Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of
Philosophy
The Doctor of Philosophy Degree is granted only upon sufficient evidence of high
attainment in scholarship and the ability to engage in independent research. It is not
awarded for the completion of course and seminar requirements no matter how
successfully completed.
Residence
See requirements for all doctoral degrees.
Foreign Language Requirement
Degree Requirements 39
A number of departments have a foreign language requirement for the Doctor of
Philosophy degree. The student should inquire in the department regarding this
requirement. Students must satisfy the departmental or program requirement before
they can be admitted to candidacy for the doctorate.
Program
There is no Graduate School requirement for a specific number of course credits in
either a major or a minor subject. It is the policy of the Graduate School to encourage
the development of individual programs for each student who seeks the PhD. To that
end, the academic departments and interdisciplinary programs have been directed to
determine major and minor requirements, levels or sequences of required courses,
and similar requirements for submission to the Graduate Council for approval.
Admission to Candidacy
See requirements for all doctoral degrees.
Dissertation
The ability to do independent research must be demonstrated by an original
dissertation on a topic approved by the department or program.
During the preparation of the dissertation, all candidates for the Doctor of
Philosophy degree must register for a minimum of 12 semester hours of doctoral
research (899) at the University of Maryland.
Final Examination
See requirements for all doctoral degrees.
Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education
The requirements for the Doctor of Education (Ed.d). degree are for the most part the
same as those for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in the College of Education. The
Ed.D. project requires a minimum of 6 semester hours of dissertation credit, while the
Ph.D. requires a minimum of 12 semester hours of dissertation credit. Consult the
Graduate Studies Office in the College of Education and the individual department for
additional details.
Requirements for other Doctoral Degrees
The particular requirements for the degrees of Doctor of Musical Arts are given under
the corresponding program description.
Petition for Waiver or Partial Waiver of a Regulation
All policies of the Graduate School have been formulated by the Graduate Council, the
governing body of the Graduate School, with the goal of ensuring academic quality.
These policies must be equitably and uniformly enforced for all graduate students.
Nevertheless, circumstances occasionally occur which warrant individual
consideration. Therefore, if a graduate student believes that there are compelling
reasons for a specific regulation to be waived or modified, the student should submit a
written petition to the Graduate School, Room 2125 South Administration, explaining
the facts and issues which bear on the case. In all instances, the petitions must be
reviewed by the departmental graduate director or chair and, if the petition involves a
course, by the course instructor. If both of these people recommend approval and so
state in writing, it is then forwarded to the Graduate School for final review.
40 Resources
Commencement
Applications for the diploma must be filed with the Office of Admissions and
Registrations within the first three weeks of the semester in which the candidate
expects to obtain a degree, except during summer session. During the summer
session, the application must be filed during the first week of the second summer
session. Exact dates are noted for each semester and the summer sessions in
"Important Dates for Advisors and Students."
If, for any reason, students do not graduate at the end of the semester in which
they have applied for the diploma, they must re-apply for it in the semester in which
they expect to graduate.
Academic costume is required of all candidates at commencement exercises.
Those who so desire may purchase or rent caps and gowns at the University of
Maryland student supply store. Orders must be filed eight weeks before the date of
commencement but may be cancelled later if students find themselves unable to
complete the requirements for the degree.

Location
In location, faculty and students at the University of Maryland enjoy the best of all
possible worlds. Situated on 1,300 acres in Prince Georges County, the College Park
Campus is a part of the larger metropolitan area of Washington, D.C., which is rapidly
becoming the nation's capital in cultural and intellectual activity as well as political
power. The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the Filene Center, and the many
fine area theaters regularly present performances by the world's most exciting and
renowned artists. The Smithsonian Museums and the National Gallery of Art, among
others, sponsor standing collections and special exhibits that attract national attention.
In addition to cultural activities, the nation's Capital provides interested students the
opportunity to observe at first hand the work of federal institutions; to sit in the galleries
of Congress; to watch the Supreme Court in session; and to attend public
Congressional hearings. The possibilities for personal enrichment offered in this
exciting cosmopolitan area are indeed enormous.
Outside the metropolitan area, and just minutes from the campus, the scene in the
Maryland countryside is pleasantly rural. Maryland offers a great variety of recreational
and leisure activities in its many fine national and state parks, from the Catoctin
Mountains in Western Maryland to the Assateague Island National Seashore on the
Atlantic bound Eastern Shore, all within a pleasant drive from the campus. Historic
Annapolis, the state capital, is only a short drive away, and the city of Baltimore, with
its rich variety of ethnic heritages, its cultural and educational institutions, and its
impressive urban transformation, is only thirty miles from College Park.
Special Research Resources
The College Park Campus is in the midst of one of the greatest concentrations of
research facilities and intellectual talent in the nation, if not in the world. Libraries and
laboratories serving virtually every academic discipline are within easy commuting
distance. There is a steady and growing interchange of ideas, information, technical
Resources 41
skills, and scholars between the university and these centers. The libraries and
facilities of many of these centers are open to qualified graduate students at the
university. The resources of many more are available by special arrangement
In the humanities, the Library of Congress and the Folger Shakespeare Library, with
its extensive collection of rare manuscripts, are among the worlds most outstanding

productions of government documents, rare books, early journals, and newspapers.
Within the East Asia Collection is the world's largest repository of published and
unpublished Japanese-language materials from the Allied Occupation period.
Graduate students at UMCP are not served by McKeldin alone. Several
departments and colleges maintain specialized libraries for student use, with
collections of importance to advanced students. These include the Library of the
College of Library and Information Services, which contains materials for library
science and a Juvenile Teaching Materials Collection, and the Engineering and
Physical Sciences Library, which houses the Technical Report Center with over
400,000 items from NASA, USDE, and other U.S. and foreign governmental agencies.
Our libraries have several exciting recent acquisitions which will be of special
interest to graduate students. One new collection, to be known as the International
Piano Archives at Maryland, contains more than 17,000 tapes, records and piano rolls,
several thousand pieces of sheet music and scores, and important documents, letters
and other materials relating to pianists Joseph Hofmann, Anton Rubinstein and others.
The University has also recently acquired an exceptional collection in astronomy:
the entire library of the Georgetown University Observatory, which contains numerous
catalogs, journals, and observatory bulletins dating back to the 1800's. Much of this
Resources 43
material has never been published commercially, and when cataloguing is completed,
Maryland will have one of the most interesting and extensive astronomy collections in
the country.

program prepares students through courses in traditional subject matter areas,
research experiences designed to give technical and creative competency in applied
economics, and seminar and discussion opportunities.
The Department provides two areas of specialization, agricultural economics and
resource economics. Both areas of specialization integrate opportunity for study and
research from a variety of disciplines related to agricultural and resource economics.
Study and research within these two areas of specilization can include agricultural
development, international trade, agricultural marketing, farm management and
production economics, agricultural policy, econometrics, land use, marine resources,
water resources and environmental quality.
There are substantial employment opportunities for persons with advanced training
in Agricultural and Resource Economics. Graduates from the Department obtain
employment in government, industry and universities. In government, graduates are
hired by such agencies as U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Interior and the
Environmental Protection Agency. Some obtain positions with the World Bank and
similar agencies. Industry openings are usually with larger companies, often involve
research, but sometimes include management or program responsibilities. Positions
obtained in academics usually include assistant professor positions (teaching,
research, extension) in major universities. A few graduates have accepted teaching
positions in smaller colleges.
Admission and Degree Information
Thesis and non-thesis options are available for the Master of Science degree in both
areas of specialization. The thesis option requires a minimum of 24 credits for course
work and six credits for thesis. The final examination is oral, takes place after
completion of the thesis and is primarily a defense of the thesis. The non-thesis option
requires 33 credits for course work, and a scholarly paper. There is a final
comprehensive written examination for the non-thesis option. The examination is
primarily concerned with course work taken during the program.
Students with a bachelor's degree generally enter the master's program before
applying for the doctoral program. A minimum of 48 credits for course work beyond
the bachelor's degree and 12 credits for dissertation research are required for the
Ph.D. degree. Qualifying examinations are administered on completion of core course
requirements. Written field examinations are held when course work has been
completed. An oral dissertation defense is also required.

American Studies Program
Associate Professor and Chair: Kelly
Associate Director and Director of Graduate Studies: Caughey
Associate Professors: Caughey, Johns, Lounsbury, Mihtz
Assistant Professor: Diner
Adjunct Professor: Washburn
American Studies offers an interdisciplinary program leading to both the M.A. and
Ph.D. Graduate students in the field take (1) courses in the various allied departments
(e.g., Anthropology, Art, Communication Arts and Theatre, Education, English,
American Studies Program 79
Geography, Government and Politics, History, Journalism, Philosophy, Sociology,
Women's Studies), and (2) intergrating courses in the core program taught by the
American Studies faculty.
All students take the introductory graduate proseminar, which focuses on the
history, theory, and methodology of American culture studies. Other graduate seminars
vary from semester to semester — sometimes concentrating on a cultural time period
(e.g., Victorian America), a particular mode of cultural expression (e.g., film, material
culture, popular culture), or a particular theme or methodology (e.g.. ethnography and
culture studies, literature considered in cultural context, sex roles and 'feminist theory).
A special cooperative venture enables students interested in material culture to take
substantial course work at the Smithsonian Institution.
Because of the broad, interdisciplinary character of American Studies, degree
holders have a wider range of employment opportunities than candidates with more
narrowly focused degrees. Government service offers an abundant outlet for American
Studies degree holders, with UMCP candidates and/or graduates currently holding
employment at the Smithsonian, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Department
of Labor, and Capitol Hill, and in a variety of public service institutions related to the
government. The American Studies degree has proven valuable in the
communications industry: newspaper work, television, and radio. Recent graduates
have held or now hold teaching positions at such institutions as Syracuse University,
the University of California at Santa Cruz, Temple University, the University of
Maryland, Baltimore County, Alexandria University (Egypt), and several community
colleges.
Admission and Degree Information
Master's candidates are required to complete a minimum of 30 hours of course work.
All candidates are required to take at least 9 hours of core American Studies
seminars— 3 hours of AMST 618, and 6 hours of AMST 628 and 629. In addition,
students select an area of concentration from courses offered in the allied
departments, either emphasizing the orientation of a single discipline or pursuing a
topic or issue that spans several fields (e.g., Afro-American culture, historic
preservation, the media, women's studies).
Candidates write a thesis for six hours of credit. Alternatively, with permission, they
take two 3-hour courses and an examination based on an individual reading list; in
addition, they write a scholarly paper.
Many students accepted for the doctoral program already have an MA. in
American Studies. Well-qualified candidates without an American Studies M.A. are
admitted to the doctoral program, but they may be required to make up background
deficiencies.
Core program requirements for the Ph.D. are similar to those for the M.A.— 12 hours
of American Studies courses: 3 at the 618 level, 6 in AMST 628 and 629, and 3 in
AMST 828, "Research Seminar in American Studies". The remainder of the student's
course work is taken from courses in the allied departments, and in other core
American Studies electives.
Ph.D. candidates must complete at least 30 semester hours beyond the M.A.,
including an 18-hour residency requirement. Candidates must also demonstrate
proficiency in a tool (e.g., foreign language, computer science, culture concept), must
pass a comprehensive written examination, and must write a dissertation based upon
original research and interpretation.

Facilities and Special Resources
The proximity of many federal institutions allows for a firsthand appreciation of politics
and cultural life, while the facilities of the National Archives and the Library of
Congress give the historian access to the materials documenting the experiences of
past generations. Important galleries, including the National Collection of Fine Arts and
the National Gallery of Art, exhibit the high points of creative expression in the visual
arts. The holdings of the Smithsonian Institution contain artifacts from the vernacular
traditions in architecture and technology, from the folk arts, and from Native American
culture. The District of Columbia and its surrounding regions represent an impressive
aggregate of associations and communities — alternative political strategies sponsored
by public interest groups, the focus upon black cultural identity found in the Anacostia
Neighborhood Museum, the "new cities" of Columbia, Maryland and Reston,
Virginia — which seek to confront the crises of urban America in a constructive manner.
The department, drawing upon the resources of its cultural environment, offers the
individual an education in the most meaningful sense; a personal encounter with
academic tradition related to the processes of immediate and contemporary social
change.

The Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics Program offers the degrees of Master of
Applied Mathematics Program 93
Arts and Doctor of Philosophy. These are awarded for graduate study and research in
mathematics and its applications in the engineering, physical, and social sciences. In
addition, the Applied Mathematics Program offers certified minors in applied
mathematics for graduate students not enrolled in the Program.
The Program is administratively affiliated with the Department of Mathematics. In
particular, under this arrangement the Department of Mathematics assumes the
responsibility for the administration of the applied mathematics courses under the
MAPL label. Moreover, the Graduate Office of the Department maintains the records of
all students in the Applied Mathematics Program and handles correspondence with
those applying for admission. However, it is important that any application for
admission indicates clearly whether a student wishes to enter the Mathematics (MATH)
or the Applied Mathematics (MAPL) Program.
The faculty considers the primary aim of applied mathematics to be the
understanding of a wide spectrum of scientific phenomena through the use of
mathematical ideas, methods, and techniques. The applied mathematician should be
both a mathematical specialist and a versatile scientist, whose interests and
motivations derive from a strong desire to confront highly complex or descriptive
situations with mathematical analysis and ideas. In line with this, at least half of the
required work is expected to be in courses with primarily mathematical content, and
the remaining part has to include a coherent set of courses in some field of application
outside of the usual mathematics curriculum. Some of the areas currently pursued by
graduate students in the Program are various areas of physics, information structures,
meteorology, operations research, pattern recognition, structural mechanics, and
systems and control theory. Many other areas of study are available through the
participating departments. It may also be noted that the faculty includes a strong
group in numerical analysis and that all students include courses on numerical and
scientific computing in their programs.
Employment opportunities in industry, government, and education are currently very
good for the applied mathematician. Our graduates have little difficulty finding
satisfactory employment. In particular, the local employment environment is very
favorable since there are many scientific and educational institutions in the area, such
as the Goddard Space Flight Center, the National Bureau of Standards, and the
National Institutes of Health.
Admission and Degree Information
In addition to the general requirements of the Graduate School, applicants for
admission to graduate study in the Program should have completed, with at least a B
average (3.0 on a 4.0 scale), an undergraduate program of study which includes a
strong emphasis on mathematics. The student's general ability for graduate study in
the Program and mathematical capabilities will be determined from his or her record
and recommendations.
A mathematical preparation with grades of B or better at least through the level of
advanced calculus in a school of good academic standing will normally be considered
sufficient demonstration of the required mathematical background. Previous education
in some part of an application area, such as physics, one of the engineering
disciplines, economics, etc., and a basic competence in computational techniques will
be favorably considered in a student's application for admission to the Program,
although this is not a prerequisite.
94 Applied Mathematics Program
When a student has decided upon an area of specialization, a study advisory
committee is appointed by the Director of the Program. This committee, working
together with the student, is responsible for formulating a course of study leading
toward the degree sought. This course of study must constitute a unified, coherent
program in an acceptable field of specialization of applied mathematics and must
meet with the approval of the Graduate Committee for Applied Mathematics.
Besides any other requirements specified by the Graduate School, the following
specific conditions must be met for an M.A. degree in Applied Mathematics:
(1) At least 12 of the 24 required course credits for the M.A. degree with thesis are
in courses with primarily mathematical content. At least 6 of these 12 credits are on
the 600-800 level. At least 3 of the 12 credits are in a course on numerical analysis. At
least 1 of the 12 credits is in an approved applied mathematics seminar.
(2) The 24 required course credits include either 6 credits at the 600-800 level, or
alternatively, 9 credits of which 3 are at the 600-800 level, in courses whose content is
primarily in the student's chosen field(s) of application.
No course may be used to meet the requirements under both (1) and (2) above.
(1) At least 15 of the 30 required course credits for the non-thesis master's option
are in courses with primarily mathematical content. At least 9 of these 15 credits are
on a 600-800 level. At least 3 of these 15 credits are in a course on numerical
analysis. At least 1 of the 15 credits is an approved applied mathematics seminar.
(2) The 30 required course credits include either 6 credits at the 600-800 level, or,
alternately, 9 credits of which 3 are at the 600-800 level, in courses whose content is
primarily in the student's chosen field(s) of application.
No course may be used to meet the requirements under both (1) and (2) above.
The student must pass the comprehensive examination for the M.A. degree without
thesis. The examination consists of at least three parts, with at least one of the parts in
a mathematics area, and at least one of the parts in an area of application. The parts
shall be taken as closely together as possible. (Comprehensive examinations are not
required for the M.A. degree with thesis.) A scholarly paper is required for the M.A.
degree without thesis.
The student in the doctoral program must take a minimum of 36 hours of courses
exclusive of dissertation research. At least 24 of these 36 credits are at the 600-800
level.
A transfer of at most 24 credits of graduate-level work taken at a regionally
accredited institution prior to or after admission to the Ph.D. Program is permitted
providing (1) the Graduate Committee for Applied Mathematics has approved the
transfer; (2) a grade of B or better was earned in the courses taken (no course with
pass/fail grades will be accepted); (3) the credit was earned within the time limit
imposed for completing the Ph.D. degree at the University of Maryland.
Course Distribution: 1) at least 18 of the required 36 credits are in courses with
primarily mathematical content. At least 9 of these 18 credits are on the 600-800 level.
At least 3 of the 18 credits are in numerical analysis. At least 2 of the 18 credits are in
approved mathematics seminars. 2) The 36 credits include either 6 credits at the
600-800 level or alternately 9 credits of which 3 are at the 600-800 level in courses
whose content is primarily in the student's chosen field(s) of application. 3) No course
may be used to meet the requirements under both items (1) and (2) above.
The student must pass the comprehensive examination for the Ph.D. The
examination consists of at least three parts, with at least one of the parts in an area of
mathematics, and at least one of the parts in an area of application. The parts shall be
MAPL — Applied Mathematics 95
taken as closely together as possible.
In addition the student must pass the Candidacy Examination for the Ph.D. degree.
The Candidacy Examination is an oral examination which serves as a test of the
detailed preparation of a student in the area of specialization and seeks to discover if
he or she has a deep enough understanding to carry out the proposed research. The
examination assumes further advanced course work beyond the Comprehensive
Examination.
Certified Minors
The Applied Mathematics Program offers certified minors in applied mathematics to
regular graduate students who are enrolled in a graduate degree program of the
University of Maryland other than the Program itself. The successful completion of the
requirements for such a minor will be recorded in the student's transcripts. Moreover, a
number of departments participating in the Applied Mathematics Program permit the
requirements for the certified minor to replace part of the degree requirements of the
major department.
A student wishing to pursue a certified minor in applied mathematics must fill out
an application form for participation in the Certified Minor Program. Such forms are
available from the office of the Director of the Applied Mathematics Program.
The Certified Minor Program at the Master's level must contain at least either 6
semester hours in 400-level courses and 3 semester hours in 600-level courses, or 6
semester hours in 600-level courses. At the doctoral level the Certified Minor Program
must contain at least 9 semester hours of graduate credit, of which at most 3 hours
may be on the 400-level.
Financial Assistance
The main source of support for full-time students in the Program is teaching
assistantships in the Department of Mathematics. These assistantships carry a stipend
plus remission of tuition of up to ten hours each semester. In addition there are some
research assistantships available in participating departments once a student has
acquired advanced training.

The Astronomy Program, administratively part of the Department of Physics and
Astronomy, offers programs of study leading to the degrees of M.S. and Ph.D. in
Astronomy. The M.S. program includes both thesis and non-thesis options. Areas of
specialization include: galactic structure, interstellar medium, extragalactic astronomy,
stellar atmospheres, stellar evolution, solar physics, solar system, astronomical
instrumentation, cometary studies, and high energy and plasma astrophysics.
A full schedule of courses in all fields of astronomy is offered including galactic
astronomy, astrophysics, solar system astronomy, observational astronomy, celestial
mechanics, solar physics, study of the interstellar medium, extragalactic astronomy,
and Plasma astrophysics. The faculty has expertise in most major branches of
astronomy. The research program is centered around several major areas of interest.
One is high energy and plasma astrophysics with particular interest centering on
applications to the study of extragalactic radio sources and of solar phenomena. There
are related observational programs in the areas of solar radio astronomy and of
extragalactic astronomy. Other areas include galactic structure, the interstellar
medium with particular emphases on molecules in space and on star formation, stellar
atmospheres and cometary physics.
Job opportunities in the "traditional" areas of universities and observatories are
extremely limited, although initial temporary appointments as Research Associates are
considerably easier to obtain. While the more traditional positions are highly
competitive, opportunities exist in other areas especially in computer software firms
which do contract work for federal laboratories. All recent Maryland Astronomy Ph.D.'s
have obtained full time employment.
Admission and Degree Information
No formal undergraduate course work in astronomy is required. However, an entering
student should have a working knowledge of the basic facts of astronomy such as is
obtainable from one of the many elementary textbooks. A more advanced knowledge
of astronomy will of course enable a student to progress more rapidly during the first
year of graduate work.
Normally a satisfactory score on the GRE Advanced Test in Physics is required
before an applicant's admission to the Graduate School will be considered. In special
cases, the Graduate Entrance Committee may waive this requirement, and set other
conditions as a requirement for admission, to be fulfilled either before admission or
during the first year at Maryland.
Ph.D. program: During the first two years, full time students must take at least four
and normally will take all of the principal courses: ASTR 600, 605, 610, 620, 640, and
114 Astronomy Program
670, plus the required physics. A research project, ASTR 690 and 691, is required
during the second year. Students will be aided in identifying a suitable project by the
end of the first year. Qualification for the Ph.D. program is based on the overall
performance in course work, research project, and a written examination integrating
the six principal courses. The examination is taken during the summer after the
second year, with an allowance for students who postphoned one or two of the
principal courses.
Course requirements for the Ph.D. include the principal courses, at least two
additional advanced astronomy courses, and twelve credits of advanced physics. In
addition, students must acquire some personal experience with modern observational
methods and analysis, normally by accompanying a faculty member to a suitable
observatory. All of the principal courses are required before advancement to
candidacy.
Candidates for the Master of Science Degree with thesis are required to obtain 24
credits (exclusive of registration for masters research) of which at least 12 are in the
major area and at least 12 must be at the 600 level (not necessarily the same 12). In
addition, at least 6 credits must be in a related field (supporting area).
To obtain the Master of Science Degree without a thesis, 6 credits in the major at
the 600 level are required in addition to the general requirements described above.
That is, a total of 30 credits are required, of which 18 must be in the major, and at
least 18 at the 600 level. The student must also pass a written examination, usually
consisting of the written part of the Ph.D. Qualifying Examination with appropriately
chosen passing requirements.
Facilities and Special Resources
The Astronomy Program carries on an extensive research program in the areas
discussed above with the graduate students playing an active role in this research.
Approximately one-fourth of all research papers published have a graduate student as
one of the authors. The Program maintains a small optical observatory on campus.
Due to the site, its main use is to enable students to gain experience in observational
techniques and to test out new equipment. There is an important effort in the program
devoted to the development of optical instrumentation. A Fourier Transform
Spectrometer is now essentially operational and a photoelectric Fabry Perot
Interferometer is being further developed.
The Program also operates a radio observatory near Borrego Springs, California.
This is designed to operate at meter wavelengths and is one of the major long
wavelength observatories in the country. A major commitment of this observatory will
be to solar research. A recently developed radio heliograph will provide real time
mapping of the radio sun. Work will also go on there in the areas of galactic and
extragalactic radio astronomy.
The Program has strong interaction with the national astronomy observatories, and
many of the students and faculty carry on observing programs at them. There are also
very close ties with neighboring scientific institutes. A major program of cooperative
research has been established with the Goddard Space Flight Center and a number of
graduate students carry on research programs there. There are also close contacts
with the Naval Observatory, the Naval Research Labs and other government institutes.

"Joint appointment with the unit indicated
The College of Business and Management offers graduate work leading to the degrees
of Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Science in Business and
Management (MS), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). The College's MBA program is
accredited nationally by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business.
Only about 30% of the more than 1,000 graduate programs in the country are
accredited by the AACSB, a reflection of the quality of faculty, students, curriculum
and facilities.
Areas of faculty specialization include accounting; finance; management science
statistics and information systems; marketing; organizational behavior and industrial
relations, and transportation, business and public policy.
Admission and Degree Information
Admission criteria for the MBA, MS and PhD programs are based on (1) quality of
recent undergraduate and graduate course work; (2) score on the Graduate
Management Admission Test (GMAT); (3) letters of recommendation; and (4) other
relevant information and professional experience with heaviest weight given to (1) and
(2).
MBA Program The College of Business and Management offers an MBA program
designed to provide the educational foundation for those students with the potential to
exhibit the highest degree of excellence in future careers as professional managers.
The MBA program requires 54 credits of course work (18 courses of which 5 are
electives), normally 4 semesters for a full-time student. There is no thesis requirement.
Successful students in the program are expected to demonstrate the following: (1) a
thorough and integrated knowledge of the basic tools, concepts and theories relating
to professional management; (2) behavioral and analytical skills necessary to deal
creatively and effectively with organizations and management problems; 3) an
understanding of the economic, political, technological, and social environments in
which organizations operate; 4) a sense of professional and personal integrity and
social responsibility in the conduct of managerial affairs both internal and external to
the organization.
Program prerequisites include a bachelor's degree, working knowledge of calculus,
and a computer programming language.
About one-half of the students enrolled are full time and one-half are part- time.
Full-time students take 15 credits during each semester of the first year, attend a
four-session management workshop the second semester of their first year and take 12
credits each semester during their second year. Part-time students take 6 credits and
the management workship each regular semester and may take courses during the
summer. Should these requirements not be met or should a student's grade point
average fall below 3.0, the student will be placed on probation and granted one
126 Business and Management Program
semester to remedy these deficiencies. Failure to do so will result in termination from
the program. Most courses for part-time students will begin at 7:00 p.m. However,
occasionally there may be an evening course with an earlier starting time. Maryland
MBA graduates obtain employment in a wide spectrum of organizations. Starting
salaries typically range from $26,000 to $35,000 per year.
MS Program The College offers an MS program for students wishing to concentrate in
Accounting and Information Systems, Information Systems, Operations Research, or
Statistics. The Program is designed for students with strong quantitative skills who
desire a more technical management education. Students typically come to the
program with undergraduate majors in Business, Engineering, Sciences, Information
and Computer Systems, Mathematics, or Economics. Prerequisites include calculus
and a high level computer language. Additional pre-requisites in Business,
Economics, and Probability or Statistics are determined by the student's concentration.
Depending on the concentration selected, the program calls for either 30 or 33 credit
hours beyond the prerequisites. A thesis option is offered which may represent 6
credits in the area of concentration. Program progress and admission standards
described above for the MBA program are also applicable to the MS program.
PhD Program The PhD program is designed to produce outstanding scholars in
management related disciplines. To this end, a strong research philosophy pervades
the entire program. The low student to faculty ratio fosters a high degree of interaction
between faculty and students on research projects of mutual interest, frequently
culminating in journal articles. Students whose career aspirations are congruent with
the program's research orientation can look forward to a learning experience that is
notonly demanding but also stimulating and enriching. Recent graduates are
employed at the following academic institutions: Ben Gurion University, Boston
College, Georgia Tech, Penn State, Texas A & M, Syracuse, Houston, the University of
Southern California, the University of North Carolina, and the University of Texas.
Maryland PhD students achieve excellence through (1) course work preparation in
basic and major and minor fields (required), supervised teaching during the period of
residence (recommended), and independent research culminating in the writing of a
doctoral dissertation (required). A full time commitment (6 courses per academic year)
to the program is mandatory as a condition of admittance.
All PhD students are provisionally admitted and must achieve a 3.25 GPA in each
of their first two semesters. Failure to do so results in being placed on probation. The
probationary period will last one semester, at which time the student will be dismissed
unless a 3.25 overall GPA is obtained.
PhD requirements for the typical student range from 42 to 75 credits (42 credits for
students entering with an MBA; 60 credits for students entering with an MS; 75 credits
for students entering with only a bachelor's degree), including dissertation credits.
Thirty-three of the hours are devoted to fulfilling the general requirements, discussed
below, with the remaining credits distributed among the student's major and minor
fields of study.
The general requirements for all PhD students are BMGT 611, BMGT 640, BMGT
650, BMGT 660, two three-credit graduate courses in economics (BMGT 670 and
BMGT 671 are acceptable for all students except accounting and finance majors), nine
credits in quantitative methods at the 600 level or above approved by the student's
faculty chairman, and BMGT 880. These general program requirements (except for
BMGT 880) may be waived by the Director of Doctoral Studies if equivalent courses at
Business and Management Program 127
AACSB accredited schools have been satisfactorily completed. Some of these courses
may be included in the major and minor course requirements.
The PhD student may select a single major with two minors or a double major.
Major and Minor areas in the college include the following: (1) Accounting, (2) Finance,
(3) Management Science, Statistics, and Information Systems, (4) Marketing, (5)
Organizational Behavior and Organization Theory, (6) Human Resource Management
and Labor Relations, (7) Transportation and Physical Distribution, and (8)
Strategy/Planning (including Public Policy). Both the single and the double major
arrangements comprise 42 credit hours in total.
For a single major, the student takes 18 credits beyond the bachelor's degree in
the major field, at least 6 of which must be taken in graduate seminars at the 800 level
at the University of Maryland. The minors may include areas inside or outside the
College of Business and Management. Typical outside minors include such areas as
Computer Science, Economics, Engineering, Mathematics, Government and Politics,
Psychology, and Sociology. Each minor is comprised of 12 credits, at least 3 of which
must be taken in graduate seminars at the 800 level.
For a double major, the student takes 21 credit hours in each of two major fields,
one of which may be in a discipline outside the College of Business and Management.
Special permission from the College's graduate committee is required for a double
major.
Each student's PhD program must be approved initially by the student's major area
faculty chair or his or her representative and the Director of Doctoral Studies. Minor
areas must be approved initially by the minor area chairperson or his or her
designated representative.
Students take written comprehensive examinations in the major area and one minor
subject area. Following successful completion of the written examinations, each
student must pass an oral examination given by a committee of the college graduate
faculty. Any student receiving a "pass with distinction" in all written examinations will
be exempted from the oral comprehensive. Failure to pass any major or minor written
comprehensive examination in two attempts will result in termination from the program.
The dissertation proppoal is defended by each PhD candidate at an open meeting.
All faculty and other PhD students are invited to attend and participate in the proposal
defense.
The dissertation must exhibit the candidate's competence in analysis, interpretation,
and presentation of research findings, and should be a major contribution to the
literature of the field. The candidate must defend his or her dissertation in a final oral
dissertation defense.
MBA/JD Joint Program
The College of Business and Management and the School of Law of the University of
Maryland at Baltimore offer a joint program of studies leading to MBA and JD degrees.
Under the terms of the joint program, a student may earn both degrees in four
academic years. The accelerated program is possible because some courses can be
credited toward both degrees. Candidates must apply for admission to the Law
School at Baltimore as well as to The Graduate School at College Park and must be
admitted to both programs.
Under the joint program, 75 credits in law school coupled with 39 credits in
business courses are required for graduation. Fifteen credits of law will be substituted
for MBA elective coursework. Grade point averages in each program will be computed
128 Business and Management Program
separately and students must maintain minimum standards in each school to continue
in the program. The Graduate School will not accept transfer credit for coursework
taken outside the joint program. A student must complete both programs satisfactorily
in order to receive both degrees. A student whose enrollment in either program is
terminated may elect to complete work for the degree in which he or she remains
enrolled but such completion must be upon the same conditions as required of regular
(nonjoint program) degree candidates. Student programs must be approved by the
law school adviser for the joint program and the MBA Program Director. For further
discussion of admission and degree requirements, students should see above and
consult the entry in the University of Maryland School of Law catalog.
MBA/MPM Joint Program
The College of Business and Management and the School of Public Affairs offer a joint
program of studies leading to the MBA and MPM degrees. Under the terms of the
joint program, a student may earn both degrees in approximately five semesters. The
accelerated program is possible because some courses can be credited toward both
degrees. Candidates must be admitted to both programs.
Under the joint program, 66 credits are required for graduation, split roughly
equally between the programs. Grade point averages in each program will be
computed separately and students must maintain minimum standards in each school
to continue in the program. A student must complete both programs satisfactorily in
order to receive both degrees. A student whose enrollment in either program is
termiinted may elect to complete work for the degree in which he or she remains
enrolled but such completion must be upon the same conditions as required of regular
(nonjoint program) degree candidates. Student programs must be approved by the
Associate Dean of the School of Public Affairs and the MBA Program Director. For
further discussion of admission and degree requirements, students should see the
general admissions requirements for each program.
Facilities and Special Resources
The College faculty has been recruited from the graduate programs of leading
universities in the nation. They are dedicated scholars, teachers, and professional
leaders, with a strong commitment to academic excellence, and to the education of
the professional manager and researcher.
Special programs offered by the College include an Executives-in-Residence
Program and an MBA practicum course, BMGT 791, in which students research a
problem of significant management concern in a participating firm or agency. Through
graduate program requirements and faculty research activities, students gain exposure

The Department of Communication Arts and Theatre offers the Master of Arts degree in
each of the three divisions: speech communication; theatre; radio-television-film. Within
each of these divisions it is possible to concentrate in specific areas which are
described below. The Department also offers a Master of Fine Arts in Theatre.
The Department also participates in the Ph.D. degree in Public Communication,
which embraces all three divisions and the College of Journalism. Although the Ph.D.
program is interdisciplinary within the four areas, a student is free to explore and
concentrate in specific areas such as rhetoric and public address, organizational and
political communication, governmental communication, broadcast communication,
public relations, international communication, science and medical communication,
theatrical theory and aesthetics, theatre history and cinema history and aesthetics. For
complete information on admission and degree requirements, see the "Public
Communication Program" entry.
There are increasing opportunities for employment in many fields associated with
all aspects of communication. Employment opportunities may be found in private
business and industry, local, state and federal government agencies, in various
educational institutions, and in the media and theatre.
Admission and Degree Information
For admission to the graduate program in any of the divisions, the applicant must meet
all requirements of the Graduate School and, normally, provide acceptable Graduate
Record Examination Scores. If applicants do not have the equivalent of an
undergraduate major in their field of interest, opportunities exist for them to take course
work in preparation for subsequent admission.
The Department offers the M.A. degree with thesis and non-thesis options. Along
with the minimum requirements established by the Graduate School, each division of
168 Communication Arts and Theatre Program
CMRT has special requisites for the completion of its own program. Graduate
assistants are generally able to complete their 30 hour programs in 18 months, while
students without assistantships most often finish in a calendar year.
Radio-Television-Film
A student in the Radio-Television-Film Division may either concentrate in a particular
area (film or broadcasting, for example) or elect a more general program covering the
multiple aspects of electronic and film communication. Students whose academic
goals extend beyond the Radio-Television-Film Division may, upon approval of their
advisor, take as many as twelve credit hours in cognate fields in other divisions or
other departments of the University. Examples of such programs would include
educational uses of media, broadcast management, and electronic journalism.
Speech Communication
Students who elect to pursue a program of study in the Division of Speech
Communication are encouraged to develop programs reflecting an understanding of
the genesis, the nature, and the effects of human speech behavior. A student may
concentrate within a specialized area of Speech Communication (Political
Communication or Organizational Communication, for example) or may elect a more
general course of study. Students in the Speech Communication Division are urged to
augment their program of study with coursework in complementary disciplines and
with communication internships in the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan area.
Theatre
The M.A. program in Theatre is designed to provide the student with opportunities to
enhance and develop historical and critical faculties and to prepare for participation in
further graduate work at the doctoral level. This is accomplished through course work
and in the writing of a thesis using historical and critical research methodologies.
The three-year M.F.A. in Theatre is designed to offer superior students advanced
training and opportunities for creative activity. The program prepares the student for
entrance into the professional theatre or for teaching in the creative areas at the
college or university level. The areas of concentration are costurme design and
theater management.

The Program in Comparative Literature offers graduate work leading to the degrees of
Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy.
The CMLT Program draws on a distinguished faculty in several departments and
offers concentrated work in major movements and genres. The greatest strength of
the program is currently in the history and criticism of dramatic literature and in the
novel. Though the focus of courses and seminars is usually specifically literary,
interdisciplinary work is very much encouraged as is practical criticism in the arts.
Departments cooperating in the Program include: American Studies, Classics, English,
French and Italian, German and Slavic, History, Spanish and Portuguese, Dramatic
Arts, Radio-Television-Film, and the Women's Studies Program.
Admission and Degree Information
Applicants should have a strong background in the arts and humanities. Since
advanced work in Comparative Literature is based on the premise that literature should
be read in the original whenever possible, students are expected to be able to read at
least one language other than English with a high degree of aesthetic appreciation.
Ph.D. students are expected to use at least two foreign languages actively in their
work, and it is assumed that efforts will be made to develop an acquaintance with one
or two additional languages. Entrance examinations are not required, but high scores
on GRE literature and language examinations will add weight to applications.
Students take courses in CMLT and in two other departments of literature. The M.A.
degree requires thirty hours, either 24 hours of course work and a thesis, or thirty
hours of course work and a comprehensive examination. No specific number of hours
is required for the Ph.D., as the number will .vary according to the preparation and
goals of the individual student; the average has been eight to ten courses beyond the
M.A. A Master's degree is a required step toward the Ph.D. The Ph.D. comprehensive
examinations cover four major areas, determined after consultation with the individual
student's committee.

The Department of Counseling and Personnel Services offers graduate programs
designed to provide the knowledge and skills needed for practice and scholarship in
counseling and related human service professions. These fields are concerned with
assisting peopie (individually, in groups, and in organizations) to attain their optimal
level of personal, social, educational and career functioning. Graduates of the
Department are employed in a variety of settings including schools, colleges and
universities, mental health agencies, rehabilitation agencies, correctional facilities,
business and industry, government agencies, other community service facilities, and
private practice. These professionals may serve any of several roles either at the
practitioner's level or at an advanced level as supervisors, researchers, educators, or
program administrators. Professional entry-level programs are offered in five areas of
specialization:
190 Counseling and Personnel Services Program
1) The School Counseling specialization program prepares students to serve as
either elementary/middle school counselors or secondary school counselors, in which
roles they offer expertise on the personal, social, educational, and vocational
development of pupils; provide individual and group counseling; serve as consultants
to classroom teachers, school administrators and parents; and coordinate pupil
personnel services. 2) The School Psychology program prepares students for
certification as school psychologists, whose principal duties are to assess intellectual
and emotional factors which affect pupils' functioning in school settings and to devise
intervention strategies to enhance the learning and behavioral adjustment of pupils. 3)
The College Student Personnel specialty program prepares specialists for service in
higher education settings in two areas of concentration: college counseling and
Student Personnel Administration which includes such functions as Student
Development, Student Union, Housing, Admissions, Placement, Deans of Students and
Vice Presidents of Student Affairs. 4) The Community Counseling specialization
provides three emphases within the program: career development and vocational
counseling, community mental health counseling and consultation, and adult
development and counseling. 5) The Rehabilitation Counseling specialty program
prepares counselors to work with persons having mental, emotional, social, or physical
handicaps.
Because of differences in certification, licensure, and employment requirements
across specialty areas, professional entry-level programs of two types are offered,
depending on the area of specialization: (1) a Master's degree program (M.A., thesis
required; or M.Ed., thesis not required), or (2) an integrated Master's/Advanced
Graduate Specialist (A.G.S.) program. In this program, the student is admitted to the
full sequence, takes the Master's comprehensive examination after twenty-four hours of
course-work, writes a Master's thesis (if M.A.) after about twenty-four more hours of
course-work, then takes the A.G.S. comprehensive examination while completing the
remaining credits to the total of sixty semester hours, and is awarded the Master's
degree and A.G.S. certificate simultaneously. It is possible for students in the
integrated Master's/A. G.S. program to stop at the Master's level, after completing thirty
to thirty-six semester hours (including the thesis, if M.A.); but this Master's degree will
not qualify them for certification in those specialty areas which require a sixty-semester
hour academic program. The applicant is encouraged to contact the Department for
further information concerning the entry-level requirements and curriculum of each
area of specialization.
It is possible for individuals who wish to enter a career in counseling but who are
undecided about which area of specialization they, wish to pursue to apply for
admission at the Master's level as "Undesignated" applicants. These students may
apply for admission to a specialty area within their first 15 credits of coursework within
the department. While admission to a particular specialty will depend on available
space within and the student's appropriateness for that specialty area, they will be
assured of being admitted to one or more areas as long as their academic
performance and professional development have been satisfactory.
The A.G.S. certificate is offered in all of the aforementioned areas of specialization.
For individuals who hold a thirty-credit Master's degree in counseling or a closely
related field, this certificate program may serve: (1) to provide the additional education
required for professional certification or licensure in those specialty areas which
require a program of two year's length, and/or (2) to provide the academic
background for an advanced level of professional practice within a specialty area.
Counseling and Personnel Services Program 191
The Ph.D. degree in Counseling and Personnel Services is offered in four areas of
specialization: (a) Counseling Psychology (in collaboration with the Psychology
Department); b) School Psychology; c) College Student Personnel Administration; and
d) Counseling and Consultation. The goal of doctoral studies is to prepare students to
achieve exceptional competence in the theory and practice of their field; to develop
high level skills as researchers, educators and administrators; and to assume positions
of leadership in various relevant settings. Students in the Counseling Psychology
specialization are educated to work as doctoral level counseling psychologists and
supervisors in such settings as college and university counseling centers, community
mental health agencies, and academic departments. Doctoral level school
psychologists serve as advanced level practitioners, supervisors, administrators,
researchers and teachers of school psychology. Students in College Student
Personnel Administration are prepared to assume leadership positions as
administrators of college or university student personnel services or as teachers and
researchers of college student personnel work. Doctoral students in Counseling and
Consultation are prepared to assume roles as supervisors, consultants, administrators,
educators or researchers in school counseling, rehabilitation, or career development
programs. All Ph.D. students in the Department are educated in accord with the
scientist-practitioner model, wherein they are expected to attain advanced skills as
both practitioners and researchers in their area of specialization.
Professionally accreditated/approved programs within the Department include:
School Psychology (provisional) and Counseling Psychology doctoral programs, by the
American Psychological Association; and Rehabilitation Counseling Masters/A. G.S.
program, by the Council on Rehabilitation Education. The M.A./A.G.S. program in
School Psychology and the Masters (M.A, or M.Ed.) program in School Counseling are
approved for certification by the Maryland State Department of Education.
Admission and Degree Information
Applicants for regular admission to Master's degree programs must have an overall
undergraduate average of B (3.0 on a 4-point scale) and must submit their scores on
the Miller Analogies Test or Graduate Record Examination (required for School
Psychology M.A./A.G.S. program). Their undergraduate program must include at least
15 semester hours of coursework in behavioral science fields (anthropology,
education, psychology, sociology, and/or statistics). Applicants for admission to
A. G.S. and Ph.D. programs must have a Master's degree in counseling or a closely
related field. For Admission as a Ph.D. student, a grade point average of 3.5 in prior
graduate work is required, together with an acceptable score on the Miller Analogies
Test or the Graduate Record Examination (for Counseling Psychology and School
Psychology). Selective screening of qualified applicants is necessary in order to limit
enrollment to the available faculty resources of the Department.
Departmental comprehensive examinations are required of all Master's, A.G.S., and
doctoral students. All doctoral students are required to take advanced courses in
statistics and research design. There are no foreign language requirements for the
Ph.D. degree.
192 EDCP — Education Counseling and Personnel Services
Facilities and Special Resources
All Master's A.G.S.and doctoral students in the Department are required to include
supervised fieldwork experiences as part of their degree programs. To this end, the
Department has excellent cooperative relationships with the Division of Student Affairs
(including such offices as the Counseling Center, Orientation, Campus Activities, the
Student Union, Resident Life, and Commuter Affairs), with units in Academic Affairs
(such as Advising, Career Development, Admissions, and Experiential Learning), and
with units in University College. The Department also runs career development centers
at two government agencies (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and the Naval
Research Laboratory) at which students may gain supervised fieldwork experiences.
Fieldwork may also be done at a wide variety of school systems, counseling services,
and mental health agencies in the Maryland/District of Columbia area.
In addition to campus and department resources, students also utilize the many
major research and professional institutions of relevance to the counseling and
personnel services field which are easily accessible to the campus. These include the
Library of Congress, the National Library of Medicine, the National Institutes of Health
and of Education, the American Psychological Association, and the American
Association for Counseling and Development.
Financial Assistance
The Department offers several graduate assistantships, and paid experiences have
been arranged for some students in the Department with a variety of on-campus and
off-campus agencies.

Criminal Justice and Criminology Program 197
Criminal Justice and Criminology Program
(Institute of Criminal Justice and Criminology)
Directorand Professor: Wellford
Professor Emeritus: Lejins
Professor: Sherman
Associate Professors: Ingraham, Loftin, Maida, Miller
Assistant Professors: Paternoster, Smith, Uchida, Young
The Program of graduate study leading to a Master of Arts and Ph.D. degree in the
area of Criminal Justice and Criminology is intended to prepare students for research,
teaching and professional employment in the operational agencies in the field of
criminal justice. This program combines an intensive background in a social science
discipline such as sociology, psychology, public administration, etc., with
graduate-level study of selected aspects of the criminal justice field.
A study recently completed of Institute M.A. and Ph.D alumni reveals that Masters
degree graduates have found employment in both public and private institutions in
virtually every kind of activity associated with the criminal justice system: research,
teaching, state, federal, and local law enforcement, courts, corrections, private
security, funded programs, etc. Ph.D. graduates have found employment mostly in
teaching, research, and as administrators in government agencies.
Admission and Degree Information
In addition to the general Graduate School requirements, special admission
requirements include the Graduate Record Examination Aptitude Test, a major in a
social science discipline, and 9 hours of course work in the appropriate area of
criminal justice. For the M.A. applicant, the undergraduate social science major must
have included at least one course each in theory, statistics and research methods.
The Ph.D. applicant must have completed two statistics, two research methods and
two theory courses, one of each being at the master's-level. Admission to the Ph.D.
program presupposes completion of the M.A. degree. At the discretion of the
Graduate Admissions Committee of the Institute, deficiencies in some of the above
areas may be made up by noncredit work at the beginning of the program.
Students enrolled in the M.A. program have two options: a Criminology option and
a Criminal Justice option. The general plan of study for both options, is as follows:
Thirty (30) semester hours of courses, consisting of: 1) at least 6 appropriate level
courses in criminology and criminal justice, three of which are required courses, which
must be passed with a 'B' or better; 2) a graduate level course in statistics, the course
to be selected from an approved list; 3) 6 credit hours of either thesis credit or
additional course work depending on the option selected by the student; and, 4) one
elective course. The student has a choice between: a) a M.A. degree with an M.A.
thesis, b) an M.A. degree without thesis, but with some additional requirements.
For completion of the Ph.D. degree, in addition to the general Graduate School
Ph.D. requirements, competence in research methodology and in quantitative
techniques is expected, as well as competence in the general theory of the criminal
justice field and in the specialization area selected by the student. The necessary
coursework is determined on the basis of the student's previous preparation, needs,
and interests. The candidate is required to pass comprehensive examinations.

Admission and Degree Information
Applicants should have taken (or should plan to take immediately) at least one
advanced undergraduate course in microeconomics, macroeconomics, statistics, and
calculus. In addition, the Aptitude Test section of the Graduate Record Examination is
required, and the Advanced Economics Test is strongly recommended. Letters of
recommendation from three persons competent to judge the probability of the
applicant's success in graduate school should be sent directly to the Director of
Graduate Studies in Economics. Part-time graduate study is difficult, since few courses
are taught at night.
The Master of Arts degree in Economics may be taken under either (1) the thesis
option (24 hours plus a thesis) or (2) the non-thesis option (30 hours, including
Economics 621-622, plus a written examination in Economic Theory and a research
paper). The requirements for the non-thesis option for the M.A. are met automatically in
the course of the Ph.D. program in Economics.
The main requirements of the Ph.D. program are (1) a written examination in
economic theory, normally taken at the beginning of the second year of full-time
graduate study; (2) written examinations in two approved optional fields; (3) a
comprehensive oral examination covering economic theory and the two optional fields;
(4) two courses in Quantitative Methods in Economics; (5) two courses (ECON 606,
607) in the History of Economic Thought; or one in Thought and one in Economic
History (ECON 611 or 613); (6) foreign language competency or one of several
options; (7) a research paper available to the faculty at the time of the oral
comprehensive examination; (8) a dissertation and its successful oral defense.
Facilities and Special Resources
The graduate program in Economics is a comprehensive one. The department
possesses special strength in the Economics of the Public Sector and Public Choice.
The department has general strengths in urban economics, poverty, natural resources
and the environment, in international economics and economic development, and other
applied areas. Special research projects under the supervision of faculty members
are carried on in the Economics of Environmental Management, Inter-industry
Forecasting, and other fields.
Financial Assistance
Research assistantships are available in special projects. Numerous teaching
assistantships are also available. The department can usually help graduate students
find half-time employment in Federal agencies engaged in economic research. There
are a limited number of fellowships available, including several for members of groups
presently underrepresented among economists.

The Department of English offers graduate work leading to the degrees of Master of
Arts and Doctor of Philosophy, with areas of specialization in English and American
literature. In addition, candidates for the M.A. degree may take a minor in composition
and rhetoric, and they may emphasize creative writing (up to 12 hours, including a
creative thesis, out of 30). Traditionally most students enrolled in graduate programs
in English language and literature have sought employment in postsecondary teaching.
Although this situation continues today, the declining number of projected faculty
openings means that an increasing number of students are finding it desirable to seek
non-academic employment. The non-academic areas that attract most of these
students include publishing, business and technical writing, administration and
personnel management. For the student who decides to seek one of these alternatives,
the University of Maryland offers assistance in two forms. First, for the graduate
student in English there is an internship program which provides students contact with
and work experience in various governmental and professional communities. Second,
there is the University's Career Development Center which helps place students in
careers suitable to their interests and to their level of educational achievement.
Admission and Degree Information
In addition to the general Graduate School requirements, applicants to the M.A.
program should present a 3.5 GPA in English and 24 hours of upper-level English
courses. Applicants to the Ph.D. program should present a 3.75 GPA and an M.A.
degree in English. Exceptions are occasionally made when other evidence is
unusually strong.
Thirty credit hours are required for the M.A.; there is a distribution requirement to
assure coverage of the major historical fields. The student may either take 24 hours of
course credit and write an M.A. thesis for the other 6 hours, or may take 30 hours,
submit a shorter scholarly paper, and pass a written comprehensive examination.
The Ph.D. requires 51 hours of total graduate work (normally 21 hours beyond the
M.A.). There are four further requirements,. -normally completed after course work: (1)
an examination in a foreign language, (2) a general oral examination on the major
areas of English and American literature, (3) a written examination on the student's
area of specialization, (4) the dissertation.
ENGL — English 249
Facilities and Special Resources
In addition to drawing on the cultural and intellectual resources of Washington, D.C.,
the English department is an active participant in the Folger Institute of Renaissance
and 18th Century Studies. Folger Institute fellowships have been awarded to advanced
graduate students in the English department.
Financial Assistance
A small number of fellowships are awarded by the Graduate School to candidaates
nominated by the various departments. Most financial aid is in the form of teaching
assistantships, (two courses of composition per semester) which are awarded by the
Department in March. At present about 90 assistantships are awarded each year, of
which about 25 go to new students or to others who have not held them previously.

The Department of Entomology offers both the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Graduate
students may specialize in physiology and morphology, toxicology, biosystematics,
ecology and behavior, medical entomology, apiculture, insect pathology, economic
entomology and pest management.
Employment opportunities for graduates exist in industry, academia, federal, state,
and local governments, and in international and national spheres.
Admission and Degree Information
Students applying for graduate work in entomology are expected to have strong
backgrounds in the biological sciences, chemistry and mathematics. Since the
Department is particularly anxious to find strong basic preparation, an undergraduate
major in entomology is not required for admission to the program. Students lacking
certain specific courses in their undergraduate program may need to extend the
normal period of time required for the degree.
In the M.S. and Ph.D. programs, the student is given great latitude in the selection
254 ENTM — Entomology
of the advisory study committee, choice of the major study areas and supporting
course work and choice of the research program. The M.S. degree is awarded
following the successful completion of the course requirements and a satisfactory
thesis. A non-thesis M.S. option is available for those interested in qualifying as pest
management specialists. In this program a field experience course including a
comprehensive report is substituted for the thesis.
Upon admission to the M.S. or Ph.D. program, the student is given a written
departmental examination to evaluate general knowledge of biology and entomology.
After passing this examination the student's study committee suggests a program of
course work and approves a detailed research proposal. Following completion of most
course work and demonstration of competency in one foreign or computer language,
the Ph.D. student is given an oral qualifying examination before applying for admission
to candidacy.
Facilities and Special Resources
Facilities are maintained in the Department for research in all areas of specialization
offered, and in addition, cooperative programs with other departments in Agricultural
and Life Sciences are possible. Cooperative research programs are often maintained
by the Department with several government agencies, such as the Beltsville
Agricultural Research Center, The U.S. National Museum of Natural History, and the
Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. Students may also participate in the Maryland
Center for Sytematic Entomology where cooperative guidance toward advanced
degrees has been established between the Department and scientists in the Insect
Identification and Beneficial Insect Introduction Institute, S.E.A., U.S.D.A. and the
Department of Entomology, Smithsonian Institution. Specialized facilities are frequently
made available to graduate students in these programs. In many instances graduates
of the programs in entomology find employment in such government agencies
because of the contacts made in these cooperative projects.
Financial Assistance
There are a limited number of teaching and research assistantships available to
entomology graduate students on a competitive basis. Several part-time employment
opportunities are available in governmental and private research and developemental
laboratories in the area.

The Department of Family and Community Development is devoted to describing,
explaining, and improving the quality of life in urban, suburban, and rural areas by
means of interdisciplinary research, education, community outreach, and public
service. The curriculum places special emphasis upon the family and the community
as mediating structures in determining life quality. The approach is holistic, i.e., human
ecology. Departmental graduate training prepares students for jobs in research
centers, consulting firms, voluntary organizations, federal, state, and local
governments, international organizations, and private practice.
The Department offers a Master of Science degree with three areas of emphasis.
Community Development is concerned with the processes and methods of local
change, as well as individuals or groups as agents of change. Specializations include
neighborhood revitalization, international community development, and the
258FMCD — Family and Community Development
improvement of community services. Management and Consumer Studies focuses on
the efficient utilization of available family and community resources, the relationship
between available resources and governmental (and private sector) policies, and the
development of expanded resources through citizen action. Specializations include
program management and consumer affairs. Family Studies stresses a working
knowledge of the growth of individuals throughout the life span, with particular
emphases on inter-generational aspects of family living and the effective delivery of
family-oriented services. A cross-cultural perspective is employed. The familty
emphasis includes a specialization in family therapy (accredited by the American
Association for Marriage and Family Therapy), which draws upon knowledge of family
dynamics and change using the clinical techniques of therapy and consultation.
Admission and Degree Information
The Department employs the general policies of the graduate school as the basic
criteria for admission to the Master's program. In addition, it is required that individuals
take the Aptitude section of the GRE and have adequate undergraduate preparation in

competitive.
Admission and Degree Information
In addition to minimum Graduate School requirements, the Aptitude Test of the GRE
Examinations is required. The Food Science Admissions Committee evaluates and
makes recommendations on all applications based on academic and professional
experience and letters of recommendations (at least 3 required). When feasible the
Committee may conduct a personal interview. In the absence of a bachelor's degree in
Food Science or Food Technology a strong background in physical and biological
sciences is recommended. Inadequate prerequisites will result in a requirement to
complete a remedial program to remove all deficiencies. Program requirements are as
follows: 1) Food Science; (the equivalent of the following courses): FDSC 412, 413,
Principles of Food Processing; FDSC 421, 423 Food Chemistry; FDSC 430, 434 Food
Microbiology; FDSC 431, Food Quality Control. 2) Biochemistry — minimum of 3 hours
graduate credit. 3) Colloquium (seminar)- attendance each semester and at least 2
presentations for credit during the program of study. 4) Provisional admission
requirements must be satisfied in the time period designated.
For the M.S. degree, students must complete the program of study as approved by
their committee which will include the minimum requirements. Students entering the
Program without a background in Food Science must complete all FDSC course
deficiencies to obtain the M.S. degree. For the M.S. with thesis, a research proposal
must be submitted to the student's committee for review and approval by the end of
270 Food Science Program
the second semester of study. Students who for various reasons or circumstances
cannot readily satisfy the thesis research requirement may select the MS Non Thesis
option. This requires 6 additional hours of courses at the 600 level in addition to the
program requirements above. A scholarly paper on a subject approved by the
committee must be prepared and presented at a regular FDSC colloquium. A final
comprehensive examination including defense of the scholarly paper will be
conducted by the student's committee. Part of this examination will be written. The
above programs should be completed within 3 semesters and a summer session.
For admission to the doctoral program, the M.S. degree is not required but is
generally recommended. Students completing an M.S. degree in the FDSC Program,
UMCP must receive a favorable recommendation from the M.S. degree final
examining committee. Students admitted from outside the FDSC Program, UMCP will
be examined orally by their committee as a basis for developing a suitable program of
study. The student must complete a program of study as approved by the student's
committee including requirements of the Graduate School and FDSC Program There is
no required number of hours of course work. Programs are developed based on the
individual needs of each student A proposal for dissertation research will be presented
to the student's committee for review and approval by the end of the third semester of
study. A comprehensive oral examination will be conducted by the committee and
other interested faculty members after substantial completion of the program of study
and usually before the end of the fourth semester. Satisfactory performance in this
examination is required before recommendation for admission to candidacy is granted.
Each student will assist in teaching at least one course regardless of whether
employed as a graduate assistant. The candidate will defend the dissertation before a
committee of at least 5 members appointed by the Dean for Graduate Studies. The
candidate's advisor is usually chair of the committee. It is recommended that the
candidate prepare initial drafts of intended publications for review before the final
examination. This program should be completed in 3 years or less depending on the
candidate's previous background.

The Department of Geography offers the Ph.D. and M.A. degrees. All degree-seeking
graduate students are required to complete the following courses during their first full
year of study: GEOG 483 (requires non-class time on campus); GEOG 600, GEOG
605, GEOG 610 (MA students only), and all prerequisites associated with these
278 Geography Program
required courses.
While progress in the graduate program is largely an individual matter, students
entering the Ph.D. should think of three years as the norm. The Department requires
few particular courses-students at both levels initiate their own program of coursework
and submit a plan of study for approval.
Admission and Degree Information
Incoming MA students are expected to have an undergraduate degree in geography
or in a closely related field, with substantial work in geography. In the latter case,
remedial work may be required prior to admission to the degree program. All
graduate applicants should submit aptitude test scores of the Graduate Record
Examination.
The M.A. degree program offers four specializations: (1) physical geography and
environmental analysis; (2) metropolitan analysis and planning; (3) human geography;
and (4) cartography - geographic information systems - spatial analysis. Geography
internships are encouraged for students in each specialization.
All M.A. degree students will specialize by taking at least five courses in one of the
four M.A. level specialty areas. In addition, each M.A. student will devise a
three-course non - specialization designed to provide some breadth of knowledge in
geography or in a related field; a regional or area-studies focus can be taken as part
of the three-course non-specialization. M.A. degree requirements are set at a
minimum of 38 graduate credit hours. No more than 13 credit hours may be taken at
the 400 level.
M.A. students specializing in physical geography and environmental analysis,
metropolitan analysis and planning, and human geography may take the six
credit-hour thesis or non-thesis, two-paper option. Students specializing in
cartography-geographic information systems-spatial analysis are expected to take the
non-thesis, two paper option. The non-thesis option involves the preparation of two
substantial research papers. All M.A. students take an oral examination defense of a
research proposal and a final oral examination based either on the thesis or the first of
the two research papers.
The Ph.D. program provides for individual student specialization. Doctoral
applicants must submit a written statement of study that is used to solicit faculty
sponsors. Because of the degree of specialization inherent in Ph.D. study, the
Department only considers applicants whose interests coincide with departmental
faculty competence.
For admission to the doctoral program, the Department normally requires a
grade-point average higher than 3.0 and an M.A. degree from a recognized
geography department, or competence in terms of fields or study and level of
achievement comparable to the M.A. degree of the Department. A non M.A. -direct
Ph.D. program is possible by petition from the student and upon approval of a faculty
committee appointed by the Department Chair-.-
After completion of formal course-work requirements for the Ph.D., there is a
two-part qualifying examination. Part One is a written examination in the student's two
major fields of specialization. Part Two is an oral examination evaluating the
dissertation proposal. Upon satisfactory completion of the dissertation there is a final
oral examination.
Employment opportunities in applied geography, especially in the Washington, D.C.
metropolitan area, while highly competitive, remain strong. Would-be practicing
GEOG — Geography 279
geographers should stress such marketable studies as: cartography, computer
applications, international development, locational analysis, management and program
planning.
Facilities and Special Resources
Departmental research facilities are contemporary and outstanding; they include a
cartographic laboratory, a computer mapping and spatial analysis facility, an
environmental analysis laboratory, and a self-instruction laboratory. A minicomputer
graphics system and numerous computer terminals are housed in the Department.
These new instructional quarters in Lefrak Hall include a physical geography
laboratory, cartographic teaching and production laboratories. The Department
publishes an Occasional Papers Series. The University's Institute for Urban Studies
(see "Urban Studies Program") is a program of the Department.

The Department of History offers programs leading to the degrees of Master of Arts
and Doctor of Philosophy. Areas of specialization include: United States, Ancient,
Medieval, Early Modern European, Modern European, British, Russian, Latin American,
African*, Middle Eastern*, East Asian, Diplomatic, Economic, Science, and Women's
History*.
*Asterisked fields at M.A. level only.
Admission and Degree Information
The Master of Arts degree serves both as a firm grounding in a field of history for
teaching purposes and as preparation for the pursuit of the doctorate. In addition to
general Graduate School requirements, the aptitude parts of the GRE are required; it
should be noted that an undergraduate major in history is not as such required for
admission. Thirty credit hours are required for the degree. Twelve credit hours are
normally in the major area of history and nine in a minor area. The minor may be taken
within or outside the Department. Departmental requirements for the degree include
two sections of a general seminar (Historiography, American, European, and
Comparative World History), and two 800-level research seminars. A maximum of nine
hours of credit may be taken in 400-level courses. For those students who select a
History Program 315
thesis option six hours in M.A. thesis research courses (HIST 799) are required. There
will be a final oral examination confined to the thesis and the area in which it lies.
Candidates have a non-thesis option under which they take 30 credits, submit two
scholarly papers for deposit in the department, and pass a four-hour comprehensive
examination in the major area, based on a list of approximately thirty books submitted
by the student and approved by the advisory committee.
Admission to the doctoral program will be decided by the student's M.A. examining
committee on the basis of the student's record of achievement in coursework, written
examination (if required in the student's major area), and thesis and oral defense of the
thesis, or two submitted research papers. Students with M.A. degrees awarded at
other institutions will be asked to submit substantial evidence of their written work
when they apply for admission to the doctoral program. Doctoral candidates must
complete three sections of the General Seminar. Within six semesters after entering
the doctoral program every student must pass a general oral and a special field
written examination in his or her major area and one written field examination in a
minor area. These examinations will test a broad, intelligent, and informed handling of
the major historical problems and literature of that field.
An oral examination on the student's dissertation prospectus and a bibliography on
the dissertation field are required. The dissertation is to be understood as constituting
the largest single portion of the doctoral program: it is expected to be a distinct
contribution to historical knowledge and/or interpretation.
All doctoral students must show a reading competence in one foreign language;
the language examination must be passed before the student takes the written
examination in the major field.
Facilities and Special Resources
In addition to the field concentrations described above, the Department of History
offers several* forms of specialized training. In the field of historical editing the
Department has introduced a successful internship course in archival work, in
conjunction with the National Archives. Since 1970 the Department has sponsored a
journal of history, The Maryland Historian, which features scholarly articles and reviews
and which provides practical experience for graduate students in the production of a
journal. The journal was founded and is managed and produced by graduate students
in the Department of History. The Department also sponsors three major editorial
projects: the Booker T. Washington Papers; the Samuel Gompers Papers; and the
Freedom in Southern Society project. A number of History Department graduate
students have gained valuable research and editing experience on these projects,
which also receive support from the National Historical Publications and Records
Commission. In conjunction with the Department of Philosophy, the Department of
History offers a special program of study in the history and philosophy of science. This
program, administered by a joint committee comprising members of both departmental
faculties, offers undergraduate and graduate courses, sponsors lectures, issues a
newsletter, and holds colloquia. Along with several other universities, the Department
of History sponsors and participates in the Folger Institute of Renaissance and
Eighteenth-Century Studies. The Institute offers seminars for graduate students and
faculty, workshops, conferences, colloquia, and lectures. The Institute awards
fellowships to graduate students, and several of these awards have gone to doctoral
candidates from the University of Maryland History Department. Still another project in
which the Department of History participates is the Caesarea excavations. This project
316 HIST — History
provides a rich source of theses and dissertation topics for graduate students in
Ancient History.
Financial Assistance
The Department of History offers financial assistance principally in the form of teaching
assistantships to outstanding graduate students. These positions, which vary in
number according to the availability of funds and of which there were 41 in the
academic year 1984-85, are awarded to advanced students working toward the Ph.D.
or MA degree. Appointment as a teaching assistant provides students an opportunity
to work closely with faculty members in the teaching of undergraduate survey courses
in history.

326 Concentration in the History and Philosophy of Science
Concentration in the History and Philosophy
of Science
The Committee on the History and Philosophy of Science supervises graduate study
leading to the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in History or Philosophy. Courses are offered
in a wide range of subjects in the history and philosophy of science and technology,
and research facilities are available on the College Park campus and in the
Washington area. For advanced research the emphasis is on the history and
philosophy of physical and biological science in the 19th and 20th centuries; history of
the philosophy of science and scientific ideas; genetics, computer science,
geophysics and astronomy; and scientific institutions in the United States. Integration
of historical and philosophical interpretations of science is stressed in both teaching
and research.
While academia is the traditional employer of historians and philosophers of
science, other opportunities exist with museums, government, and industry. Academic
opportunities for historians and philosophers of science recently have been more
plentiful than for historians or philosophers in general. While the numbers are small,
thus far the Committee has successfully placed all its degree recipients.
Students should apply for admission to either the History Department or the
Philosophy Department, indicating History and Philosophy of Science as the field of
specialization. Since people with diverse backgrounds can be successful in this field,
there are no rigid requirements for admission; the quality of a student's work in
science, history, and philosophy, as demonstrated not only by grades and test scores
but also by papers and independent projects, is more important than the numbers of
credit hours in these subjects. But prospective students should also be warned that
the minimum requirement for doing research in the history and philosophy of science
covers substantially more areas than normally expected of Ph.D.'s in any one of the
traditional fields of history or philosophy or a science; it includes training in a science
equivalent to a B.S. (preferably M.S.) degree, proficiency in both oral and written
expression, and ability to read at least one foreign language (preferably both French
and German).
The Committee also encourages applications from students who do not intend to
obtain a Ph.D. in history and philosophy of science but desire only the M.A. as
preparation for careers in science teaching, government service, technical
administration, museum work, etc., or who plan to proceed to the Ph.D. in another
field.
A few teaching assistantships are available in the History and Philosophy
departments for students who have adequate backgrounds in those subjects.

Studies Leading to the M.A. in History and the M.L.S. 327
Studies Leading to the M.A. in History and
the M.L.S.
The Department of History and the College of Library and Information Services
coordinate two master degree programs to meet the need for multidisciplinary
graduate training for archivists, records managers, manuscript curators, rare book
librarians, bibliographers, conservation administrators, and those wishing to become
subject and research specialists in academic, special, and/or research libraries.
Because of the University's proximity to a variety of immensely rich research
collections, students are able through internships to gain first-hand experiences that
reinforce their classroom instruction.
The aim of the sequence of courses leading to the two degrees is to prepare
students to understand the intellectual approach of the research scholar through
historical training and to meet those research needs through the information services
offered in CLIS. The coordinated curricula provide four main options: 1) Archives and
records management; 2) Curatorship of Historical collections; 3) Scholarly editing and
publishing; and 4) Reference, research and bibliographic services. The fifty-four hours
required for the degrees combine twenty-four hours in each component, plus six
elective hours. The M.A. -M.L.S. is a non-thesis plan, but students may choose to write
a thesis when such research enhances their program.
Admission and Degree Information
Students may apply for admission under the rubric HILS (History-Library Science)
either through the Department of History or CLIS. Each has a co-ordinator who serves
as an advisor for students. Since many of these courses are offered in sequence, it is
important for students to work closely with these advisors. The two degrees are
awarded simultaneously, and a student who fails to complete the special requirements
for the coordinated degree programs may not receive either degree. If students
subsequently wish to receive only one degree, they must transfer from HILS either to
the graduate program in History (HIST) or to the College of Library and Information
Services LBSC and fulfill the normal requirements for the separate M.A. or M.L.S.
Financial Assistance
A few teaching assistantships are available in the Department of History and the
College of Library and Information Services has some fellowship aid for students in this
course of directed study. These are awarded on a competitive basis in both
components.
Additional Information
Detailed information may be obtained by writing to the HILS Co-ordinator, in either the
Department of History or the College of Library and Information Services.

Assistant Professors: Healy, LaSota, Stutte
Lecturer: Mityga
The Department of Horticulture offers graduate study leading to the Master of Science
and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. The Master of Science degree is offered with both
thesis and non-thesis options. Candidates place major emphasis in the areas of
pomology, olericulture, floriculture, or ornamental horticulture. Within these commodity
areas, students may direct their studies and research efforts to mineral nutrition,
postharvest physiology, plant breeding, chemical growth regulation, water relations,
plant propagation, histochemistry, photoperiodism and environmental control, and
other factors affecting production, postharvest handling, and preservation of
horticultural crops. The research activities required for the thesis or dissertation are
normally carried out in conjunction with the research programs of the departmental
staff.
The candidate's program may be directed toward a career in research, teaching,
extension education, or industry. Many recent graduates are currently involved in
research and teaching at major universities; others are teaching at the vocational
agriculture and community college level. Still others are employed as County Agents
with the Cooperative Extension Service or work in research and development with the
U.S. government or with private industry.
Admission and Degree Information
Students seeking admission should present undergraduate preparation in horticulture,
botany, chemistry, and supporting agricultural disciplines. Those without this
background are advised to enroll as undergraduate students to correct these
deficiencies. The Graduate Record Examination Aptitude Test is required.
Students entering the doctoral program should have, or plan on completing, a
Master of Science degree in Horticulture, although presentation of the M.S. in a related
plant science field may be acceptable.
Upon admission, the student selects a faculty advisor and an advisory committee is
appointed. It is an early function of the committee to work with the candidate in
developing a program of courses and research, to meet the goals and aspirations of
the students. The Department requires no foreign language proficiency. A
comprehensive, oral examination is given each candidate for the M.S.; candidates for
the Ph.D. take an oral qualifying examination as well as a final oral exam covering the
dissertation.

The College of Journalism offers a Master of Arts degree in Journalism and, with the
Department of Communication Arts and Theatre, the Ph.D. in Public Communication.
The master's degree is primarily a professional degree intended for students who wish
to deepen their understanding of the communication professions and their preparation
for those professions. It thus includes advanced practical courses and courses in
communication theory and research. Most M.A. students specialize in public affairs
reporting, public relations, international communication, science communication,
broadcast journalism, advertising, opinion and evaluative research, political
communication, and education and journalism.
The Ph.D. in Public Communication is an interdisciplinary program embracing the
College of Journalism and the three divisions of Communication Arts and Theatre:
Radio-Television-Film, Speech Communication, and Theatre. The Ph.D. prepares
students for creative scholarship and research. It emphasizes both the necessary
techniques and skills to conduct research and the ability to think innovatively about
JOUR — Journalism 347
problems of public communication. Within this Ph.D. program, the College of
Journalism stresses four fields: political and governmental communication, public
relations and organizational communication, international communication, and science
and medical communication. Other areas of emphasis in the Public Communication
program include rhetoric and public address, broadcast communication, theatrical
theory and aesthetics, theatre history and cinema history and aesthetics. For complete
information on admission and degree requirements, see the "Public Communication
Program" entry.
Admission and Degree information
The master's degree is a one-year program, with the typical student taking 12 hours of
graduate work in the fall, 12 hours in the spring, and 6 hours of thesis or non-thesis
option seminars in the summer. Work on the degree may be started at any time. JOUR
600 and JOUR 601 are required for the M.A. in Journalism.
Applicants seeking admission to the master's program should hold a bachelor's
degree from a recognized institution of higher learning. Undergraduate study of
Journalism or professional experience in journalistic fields are helpful but not required.
Students who have majored in some other field as undergraduates are required to
make up professional deficiencies by taking five selected courses in journalism without
graduate credit. Completion of the general aptitude portion of the Graduate Record
Examination is required, and three letters of recommendation must be submitted.
Facilities and Special Resources
The University of Maryland is in an advantageous location for the study of journalism. It
is within easy reach of six of the nation's top newspapers: The Sun and Evening Sun
of Baltimore, Baltimore News-American, The Washington Post, The Washington Times,
and USA Today. It is also near the Washington press corps, the large Washington
bureaus of the Associated Press, United Press International, the New York Times, and
most important American and foreign newspapers; NBC, CBS, and ABC, and other
broadcasting news bureaus; and news magazines and major book publishing offices.

Admission and Degree Information
Admission and degree requirements specific to library and information services are
described in a brochure available through the College's Admissions Office.
Applicants must exhibit the capacity and. motivation for graduate study and the
potential to contribute to the library and information services profession. Accordingly,
in addition to the Graduate School requirements, Graduate Records Examination and
letters of recommendation are required. These, with the undergraduate record, major
discipline, work experience, and applicant's statement of purpose form the basis for
the admission decision. The College's Committee on Admissions and Academic
Standards may request a personal interview and will consider requests for exceptions
in unusual cases.
Programs for Master's candidates are planned individually, and faculty advisors
Library and Information Services Program 351
recommend courses they consider most appropriate for each student. All students are
required to register for the Proseminar and introductory courses in the organization of
knowledge and reference. These three core courses introduce the student to the
broad range of disciplines fundamental to library and information services. The
remaining 27 credit hours are chosen, with the assistance of the student's assigned
advisor, to fulfill the individual student's academic and professional goals. The student
may, with the consent of his/her advisor, take courses in other departments of the
University, and may pursue in-depth study in an area of particular interest as an
independent study, under the supervision of a member of the faculty.
The Master of Library Science degree is awarded to the student who successfully
completes a program of 36 hours with an average of B or better within three years
from first registration in the program. Under a full-time program a student normally
completes four courses in each of the fall and spring semesters and four courses
during the summer terms. Part-time students are also admitted to the program. Many
courses are available at night or on weekends at regular intervals and are taught by
members of the regular faculty.
No thesis or comprehensive examination is required.
The doctoral program is interdisciplinary in nature, and utilizes the resources not
only of the College, but of the entire campus. The student and advisor design a
program of study and research particular to the student's professional objectives.
Approximately three years of full-time study are required, normally divided into two
years of formal coursework (60 semester hours, or 36 beyond the master's) and one
year of work on the dissertation. At least one year, usually the first, must be spent in
full-time residence.
A doctoral qualifying examination is required at the conclusion of the first year to
determine the student's ability to complete the program. After completion of the
required course credits, and prior to admission to candidacy, the student must pass
written comprehensive examinations in five areas. An oral defense of the dissertation
is scheduled prior to the award of the degree.
The College has no language requirements unless the individual student's
specialization or dissertation requires it.
Facilities and Special Resources
The College maintains its own library, organized to afford faculty, students, and
research staff the kind of modern support service provided by other forward-looking
agencies. Students have access to the University of Maryland's excellent Computer
Science facility. In addition, the College has a Data Processing Laboratory which
serves as a resource for instruction in the areas of library automation and information
processing, as well as for faculty and student research. Thus students have access
not only to the University's large-scale computer systems, but to microcomputers
housed within the College. The Instructional Development and Support Service is yet
another support service. This non-print media facility provides equipment and
materials, workshops, and individual assistance to students, faculty, and staff in all
areas of audiovisual production.

(GEOL); Norton (AREC): Weiner (MICB); Means (Chesapeake Biological Lab); Kennedy
(Horn Point Environmental Lab); Ulanowicz (Chesapeake Biological Lab); Van
Valkenburg (BOTN)
The graduate program in Marine-Estuarine-Environmental Sciences (MEES) offers work
leading to the M.S. (with thesis) and Ph.D. degrees and is designed to meet the needs
of students who wish to pursue studies on the interactions of biological systems with
physico-chemical systems. Appropriate areas of emphasis will involve organisms living
in marine, estuarine, or terrestrial environments in their interactions with chemical and
physical influences. Possible areas of specialization might include estuarine and
marine science, environmental chemistry, environmental microbiology, environmental
toxicology, environmental and resource economics, environmental management,
marine and environmental technology, and fisheries and wildlife management.
Graduates of this program find employment in the various federal and state
agencies concerned with the environment. In addition, academiicVand private research
institutions and commercial interests concerned with the development and use of
coastal, estuarine, and ocean resources will find graduates of the Program well
prepared for a variety of positions.
Admission and Degree Information
In addition to meeting the regular requirements of the Graduate School for admission,
applicants are required to submit scores from the GRE Aptitude Test. Degree work
may be pursued on a part-time basis.
The program is interdisciplinary, and the course of study will be tailored to the
needs of the individual student as determined by that student's advisory committee.
Course requirements and research credits are not in excess of general Graduate
School requirements for the M.S. and Ph.D. There are several specific prerequisites,
but these may be met through course work after the student is admitted to the
graduate program. Statistics is required of all-degree candidates. In addition, three (for
the M.S.) or four (for the Ph.D.) courses, chosen from five "core" areas, are required to
provide essential background and breadth for any advanced work. The five "core"
topic areas are 1) ecology and/or physiology of plants or animals; 2) ecology and/or
physiology of microorganisms; 3) biochemistry; 4) physical, chemical, engineering, or
geological sciences; and 5) management (economics, resource development, systems
analysis, or biology and management of various natural resources).

Mathematical Statistics Program 361
Mathematical Statistics Program
Director: Smith
Professors: Mikulski, Syski, Yang
Associate Professors: Kedem, Slud, Smith, Wei
Assistant Professor: Janssen
The Mathematical Statistics Program offers the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of
Philosophy for graduate study and research in statistics. Areas of faculty research
activity include stochastic processes, potential theory, ergodic theory, statistical
decision theory, biostatistics, stochastic modeling, nonparametric inference, analysis of
variance, and time series analysis. Students may specialize in applied or theoretical
statistics by selecting an appropriate sequence of courses and a research area to
form an individual plan of study. The Program has been designed with sufficient
flexibility to accommodate the student's background and interest. Moreover, the
Program offers students from other disciplines an opportunity to select a variety of
statistics courses to supplement their own study.
The Program is administratively affiliated with the Department of Mathematics.
Moreover, the Department maintains the records of all students in the Mathematical
Statistics Program and handles correspondence with those applying for admission.
However, it is important that any application for admission indicates clearly whether a
student wishes to enter the Mathematics (MATH) or the Mathematical Statistics (STAT)
Program.
Employment prospects for statisticians are extremely bright, as they have been for
the past several years. A recent National Science Foundation survey predicts that in
the period 1978-90, there will be 19,000 job openings in statistics and only 8,000 new
graduates to fill them. All of the recent M.A. and Ph.D. graduates of Maryland's STAT
program have found jobs in universities, government or private industry.
Admission and Degree Information
In addition to the general requirements of the Graduate School, applicants for
admission should have completed, with at least a B average (3.0 on a 4.0 scale), an
undergraduate program of study which includes a strong emphasis on mathematics or
statistics. Mathematical preparation at least through the level of advanced calculus
will normally be considered sufficient demonstration of the expected mathematical
background. In special cases students may be provisionally admitted without having
fulfilled the general admission requirements, if there is evidence on the basis of other
criteria of potential success in the Program. The Graduate Record Examination is not
required for admission, but applicants for admission who have taken this examination
are required to supply their score.
The M.A. degree can be earned by exercising either of two options. To earn an
M.A. degree by the nonthesis option, a student must have 30 credit hours with an
average of at least B and at least 18 of these credits must be at the graduate level
(600/700 level). Of the required 30 credits, at least 12 of the graduate credits must be
in statistics. The student must also pass the Mathematics Department written
examination in probability, statistics and any third field of mathematics. The student
has the choice of taking either the separate M.A. written examination or the Ph.D.
written examination and being scored at a lower level. These examinations can be
taken only twice except that any attempt during the first two years of graduate work is
362 STAT — Statistics and Probability
considered a "free try". The student must also submit a satisfactory scholarly paper.
To earn an M.A. degree by the thesis option, a student must have: a) 24 credit
hours with at least 15 at the 600/700 level (of these 15 hours at least 12 hours must be
in statistics); b) maintained an average grade of B or better; c) taken 6 hours of STAT
799 (Research) in addition to (a); d) written a satisfactory thesis; and e) passed a final
oral examination.
There is no foreign language requirement for M.A. students.
The M.A. degree is not required for admission to the Ph.D. program. A student in
the doctoral program must have a minimum of 36 hours of formal courses (at least 27
at the 600/700 level) with an average of B or better; at least 18 of the graduate credits
must be taken in statistics. In addition, there is a University requirement of at least 12
hours of STAT 899 (Doctoral Research).
The Ph.D. aspirant must take a written examination in probability, statistics and any
third field of mathematics. The written examination can be taken only twice except that,
as in the case of the M.A. degree, any attempt during the first two years of graduate
work is considered a "free try." The written examination is given by the Mathematics
Department twice a year, in January and August.
If successful in this written examination, the student must pass an oral examination.
The oral examination, given by the statistics faculty, usually takes place a year after
the student passes the written examination. This examination serves as a test of the
in-depth preparation of the student in the area of specialization and of his or her
research potential. Successful completion of the oral exam indicates that the student is
ready to begin writing the doctoral dissertation. In addition to the above, there is a
requirement of reading competence in two foreign languages for the Ph.D. The student
may select any two of the three languages: French, German, or Russian. The
language examination, given and graded by the Mathematics Department, consists of
translating foreign mathematical texts into competent English.
To be admitted to candidacy, the Ph.D. aspirant must pass the written examination,
the oral examination and at least one of the two language examinations. The second
language examination must be completed before the candidate's final oral examination
on the dissertation.

There are three programs that come under the cognizance of the Mathematics
Department: the Mathematics Program proper (MATH), the Mathematical Statistics
Program (STAT) and the Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics Program (MAPL).
Students applying for admission should indicate the program of interest to them by
employing the appropriate symbol. The Statistics Program is concerned with
mathematical statistics and probability. The Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics
Program is described in detail elsewhere in this catalog but, as its name implies, is
concerned with the interaction between mathematics and applied areas; it is directed
366 Mathematics Program
by the Graduate Applied Mathematics Committee but administered by the
Mathematics Department.
M.A. and Ph.D. degrees can be earned in each of these three programs. The
Master's degree is not required for entrance to the Ph.D. Program.
The Department offers graduate programs in Algebra, Complex Analysis,
Geometry, Mathematical Logic, Number Theory, Numerical Analysis, Ordinary
Differential Equations, Partial Differential Equations, Probability, Real and Functional
Analysis, Statistics, and Topology.
Graduates in both Ph.D. and M.A. program continue to face a favorable
employment market. It is true that the academic opportunities are becoming more
encouraging; in fact our Ph.D.'s have done very well, in some cases securing
prestigious academic posts (MIT, Yale, NYU). Those in the applied programs face a
very encouraging employment environment and have secured good positions in
government and industry. The fact is that some academic institutions are facing
competition from the private sector.
Admission and Degree Information
Admission is granted to applicants who show promise in mathematics as
demonstrated by their collegiate mathematics record. Unless courses in Advanced
Calculus and (undergraduate) Abstract Algebra have been taken admission may be on
a provisional basis (passing MATH 410 and/or 403 with a grade of B). The Graduate
Record Examination is not required for admission, but applicants for admission who
have taken this examination are required to supply their score.
The M.A. degree can be earned by exercising either the thesis option (general
University regulations prevail) or the non-thesis option but the great majority are
choosing the latter. For this option students must have 30 credit hours with an average
of at least B of which at least 18 are at the 600/700 level, including at least 12 hours in
mathematics. They must have completed two full-year sequences at the 600/700 level
and must have passed the Departmental written examinations in three mathematical
fields. In addition, the University now requires a scholarly paper.
The student has the choice of taking the separate M.A. battery of written
examinations or taking the Ph.D. version and being scored at a lower level. These
examinations can be taken only twice except that any attempt during the first two
years of graduate work is considered a "free try."
There is no foreign language requirement for the M.A. degree.
It generally takes from two to three years to earn the M.A. Almost 25-30 are
granted each year in mathematics (MATH, STAT, and MAPL combined).
The M.A. degree is not required for admission to the Ph.D. program but applicants
who are accepted should show, on the basis of their undergraduate record and
recommendations, that they possess not only marked promise in mathematical
activities but the potential to perform on a creative level. Again, as in the M.A. case,
admission may be granted on a provisional basis.
The departmental course requirements for the Ph.D. are a minimum of 36 hours of
formal course work (at least 27 at the 600/700 level) with an average grade of B or
better; at least 18 hours must be taken in the Department of Mathematics. In addition,
there is a University requirement of at least 12 hours of MATH 899 (Doctoral
Research).
The Ph.D. aspirant must take a set of three written examinations in three
mathematical fields; these examinations can be taken any time except that an attempt
Mathematics Program 367
during the first two years of graduate study constitutes a "free try." These examinations
are given twice a year, in January and August. If successful in these written
examinations, students must satisfy the particular requirements of the field committee
governing their special area of interest before they can be admitted to candidacy and
engage in thesis research. The dissertation must represent an original contribution to
mathematical knowledge and will usually be published in a mathematical journal.
The average Ph.D. aspirant will spend five years of graduate study before obtaining
the degree. From 5 to 10 Ph.D.'s are awarded each year in the Department.
There are two foreign language requirements for the Ph.D. Before the aspirant can
be admitted to candidacy he or she must pass a written examination in either French,
German or Russian, translating mathematical texts into competent English. The second
language examination must be completed before the candidate's final oral examination
on the dissertation. Both language examinations are composed and graded within the
Department.
Facilities and Special Resources
The Department is very strong in a number of areas, and the addition of the
complement of mathematicians from the Institute for Physical Science and Technology
adds further strength. There is a very active research atmosphere, and the Department
fosters a lively program of seminars and colloquia of which about half are talks by
outside specialists. Each year is devoted to a special mathematical field with a
number of outside mathematicians in residence; the special year for 1984-1985 was in
Mathematical Logic and Theoretical Computer Science and that for 1985-1986 will be
in Complex Variables.
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Library is located on the ground floor of the
Mathematics Building and contains more than 95,000 volumes in mathematics,
physics, and engineering; more than 280 journals in pure and applied mathematics are
received. The Library of Congress, with its extensive collection of books and technical
reports, is only a half hour away from the campus.
The Department cooperates closely with the Institute for Physical Science and
Technology and with the Department of Computer Science. Faculty members of both
groups offer courses in the Department, and the facilities of the computer center are
available to serve the research needs of both faculty and graduate students.
Members of the Department participate actively in the Interdisciplinary Applied
Mathematics Program and staff the Mathematical Statistics Program.
Financial Assistance
The Department is able to offer graduate assistantships to approximately 110 graduate
students. Generally these graduate assistants conduct recitation and quiz sections
associated with a large lecture class taught by a faculty member. The teaching load is
six hours each semester plus the attendant duties of meeting with students and
grading papers. There are a limited number of fellowships and research
assistantships available.

Program
Professor and Chair: Lissitz
Professors: Dayton, Stunkard
Associate Professors: Johnson, Macready, Schafer, Sedlacek.
Assistant Professor: Benson
In the Department of Measurement, Statistics, and Evaluation, programs are available
at both the master's (MA) and doctoral (Ph.D.) levels for persons desiring a major in
measurement, statistics, or program evaluation. In addition, a doctoral minor is offered
for students majoring in other areas.
Graduates have been very successful in finding employment. One of the
advantages of the Measurement, Statistics, and Evaluation areas is that degree
holders are equipped to make contributions in a wide variety of fields. This means
that, as the employment potential of one area tightens, the student has the requisite
skills to move into another area that is more open.
Admission and Degree Information
The doctoral major program is primarily intended to produce individuals qualified to
teach courses at the college level in program evaluation, measurement and statistics;
conduct research studies; advise in the conduct of research studies; and serve as
applied statistics, measurement and evaluation specialists in school systems, industry
and government. The master's level program is designed to produce qualified
individuals to work in schools, industry and government. Both the thesis and
non-thesis option are offered. A program for an individual student is planned to take
into account his/her own background and future aims. About half the work within the
major is elected to meet the needs and interests of the individual student.
The GRE aptitude test scores are utilized along with other application information in
reaching a decison about each applicant.
Facilities and Special Resources
Persons planning a college teaching career will have opportunities to engage in
supervised activities appropriate for future faculty members whose specialization will
be in these areas. Research experience utilizing both mainframe and micro computer
equipment will be obtained.
The faculty are actively engaged in a large variety of research projects. Students
are encouraged to become involved, as well, and gain experience from these
activities. The Washington and Baltimore areas have a large number of organizations
that provide ready opportunity to become involved in projects that have National
Importance.
EDMS — Measurement, Statistics, and Evaluation 377
Financial Assistance
Some Graduate Assistantships and other funds are available. Once students have the
equivalent of the first year of course work, they have been easily able to secure good
•part-time employment as support for the continuation of the degree. In many cases,
this work becomes the career employment for the student after he or she finishes the
degree objective. In other cases students have waited until the degree is obtained
before seeking employment outside the university. In either case, the students in the
department have easily found good, degree-relevant jobs.

The Mechanical Engineering Department offers a broad based program leading to a
Master of Science degree with courses drawn from four different areas of
specialization: (1) Energy, (2) Fluid Mechanics, (3) Solid Mechanics and (4) Computer
Integrated Manufacturing and Design. In certain cases students may wish to
concentrate their studies early in their graduate work, and M.S. programs in each of
the four areas of specialty are available. For the Ph.D. program, which stresses
research capabilities, an area of specialization should be selected early so that the
student can prepare for the comprehensive examination and can establish the depth
of understanding in a given technical area necessary to begin thesis research.
(1) Energy. This area of specialization treats the transformation, transportation and
utilization of all types of energy. The area encompasses four main topics that include
combustion and energy conversion, heat and mass transfer, thermodynamics and
solar energy. Combustion and energy conversion deals with the efficient combustion
of petroleum, alternative and future low grade fuels without any adverse effect on the
emission of undesirable trace pollutants from differenct engineering applications.
Included in energy conversion coverage are gas turbines, internal thermoelectrics,
thermionics, photovoltaics, fuel cells and magnetohydrodynamics. Analytical, empirical,
and experimental solutions are developed in solving heat and mass transfer problems.
The coverage in thermodynamics includes macroscopic and microscopic
considerations, statistical methods and irreversible processes. Solar energy studies
deal with the engineering applications of solar thermal energy storage.
(2) Fluid Mechanics. This area of specialization prepares the student for study in
advanced analytical and experimental methods in fluid mechanics. Areas of study
include ground vehicle aerodynamics, two phase flow, boundary layers and jets, vortex
dynamics, ocean engineering, turbulence, turbulence closure modeling and combustor
flows. Laboratory facilities are available for research in low-speed flow phenomena,
two-phase flow studies, vortex motions, and hydromechanics.
(3) Solid Mechanics. This area of specialization emphasizes exposure to
fundamental concepts in analytical and experimental methods of solid mechanics.
Areas of study include theoretical and appllid elasticity, fracture mechanics,
experimental mechanics, noise and vibration control, acoustics, numerical modeling,
and linear and nonlinear mechanics. Laboratory facilities are available for research in
stress analysis, fracture, acoustics, photoelasticity, and holography.
(4) Computer Integrated Manufacturing and Design. This area of specialization
combines the disciplines of controls, mechanical design, manufacturing processes,
and robotics with a strong emphasis on computer applications throughout the areas.
Mechanical Engineering Program 381
A wide variety of courses and research topics are available which are supported by
dedicated laboratories in microprocessors and interfaces, manufacturing processes,
robotics, and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing. Typical research
topics include the use of microprocessors for smart product design, the integration of
a flexible manufacturing cell into the factory of the future, expert systems, integration of
CAD, CAM and manufacturing resource planning, and systems analysis, control, and
automation.
Graduates with an M.S. or Ph.D. in mechanical engineering are in high demand by
a wide variety of industries and the federal government. Jobs are more plentiful than
ever. Also, career opportunities in academia are excellent for Ph.D. graduates due to
the shortage of qualified persons in mechanical engineering.
Admission and Degree Information
The programs leading to the M.S. and Ph.D degrees are open to qualified students
holding the B.S. degree. Admission may be granted to students with degrees outside
of mechanical engineering. In some cases it may be necessary to require
undergraduate courses to complete the student's background. The general regulations
of the Graduate School apply in reviewing applications.
The candidate for the M.S. degree has the choice between the thesis option or the
non-thesis option. The equivalent of at least three years of full-time study beyond the
B.S. degree is required for the Ph.D. degree. Ph.D students must take a qualifying
examination upon entering into the program. In addition to the general rules of the
Graduate School, certain special degree requirements are set forth by the department
in its departmental publications.
Facilities and Special Resources
The Department maintains laboratory facilities for graduate research. Air guns, impact
testers, vibration shaker tables, and acoustic analysis equipment are available for
studies in dynamic stress analysis and vibration. Static and dynamic stress analysis
are conducted by photoelastic and holographic techniques. Experimental fluid
dynamics facilities are carried out in wind tunnels, water tables, in a flume, and in a
two-phase flow loop. Research in engineering materials is supported by a large
complement of departmental mechanical testing equipment, and by an electron
microscope facility, an x-ray diffraction facility and crystal growing equipment available
from the Institute for Physical Science and Technology. Combustion research facilities
include various types of combustors, heat exchangers, droplet generators, and a
fouling and particulate deposition apparatus. Research in computer integrated
manufacturing and design is carried out in newly-developed CAD/CAM, robotics,
manufacturing processes, and microprocessor laboratories. Departmental
computational equipment consists of a variety of modern microcomputers and two Vax
750 mini-computers. Campus computational facilities include IBM 4143 and Univac
1180 digital computers and a Vax 780 with associated array processors. The

The Meteorology Department offers a full course of study leading to the degrees of
Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy specializing in the atmospheric sciences.
Additionally, a full complement of course work in meteorology is offered at the upper
division and graduate level as a service to other campus graduate programs.
The educational program in the atmospheric sciences is broadly based, involving
many of the applications of the mathematical, physical and applied sciences that
characterize modern meteorology. Areas of research specialization presently receiving
the most concentrated attention are atmospheric dynamics, atmospheric radiative
transfer, remote sensing of the atmosphere, climate dynamics, numerical weather
prediction, atmospheric chemistry, synoptic meteorology, and micrometeorology.
Within the Meteorology Department, the Center for Ocean-Land-Atmosphere
Interaction (COLA), under the direction of Prof. Shukla, conducts a coordinated
research program in the problems of long-range weather forecasting. The Cooperative
Institute for Climate Studies, operated jointly with NOAA, also conducts research in
long-range forecasting and satellite remote sensing. The Department maintains close
research and teaching associations with the Division's Institute for Physical Science
and Technology.
The Department's close association with Federal Agencies in the Washington area
provides graduates with good job potential in the atmospheric sciences. As a research
assistant, the student often has the opportunity to develop a close working relationship
with one or more of the scientific agencies. This can put the student in a good position
to contend for jobs as they become available.
The Meteorology Department is in the Division of Mathematical and Physical
Sciences and Engineering.
Admission and Degree Information
The advanced degree programs in meteorology are open to students holding the
bachelor's degree in meteorology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, astronomy,
engineering or other programs with suitable emphasis in the sciences. Comprehensive,
undergraduate level courses in meteorology are provided for students from disciplines
other than meteorology.
To qualify for the Master of Science degree in meteorology, the candidate is
required to complete the following graduate level core course work: METO
390 Meteorology Program
610 — Dynamic Meteorology 1 (3 credits); METO 612 — Atmospheric turbulence and
Diffusion (3 credits); METO 620— Atmospheric Radiation (3 credits). METO
640 — Micrometeorology may be substituted for METO 612 at the advisor's discretion.
A minimum of 21 additional hours of credit, including research, is required. At least
12 credits must be in meteorology at the 600 level or above, and generally no more
than 6 credits of 400 level meteorology courses can be applied to the degree. The
program may include up to nine credits of course work at the 400 level or above in
other departments.
The Master's degree program will consist of a coherent program chosen in
consultation with the student's advisor. Students may elect either a thesis option or a
non-thesis option; the latter requires one scholarly review paper and a comprehensive
examination instead of a thesis. A final oral examination is administered prior to the
award of the degree. Full-time students with an appropriate background in
meteorology can complete the M.S. program in one calendar year, but typically take
one and one-half to two years. Additional time may be necessary for students entering
from other disciplines.
To qualify for the Ph.D. degree, the candidate must select a major and an ancillary
course work program. Ancillary course work programs are individually tailored to the
needs and interests of the student. Each student is expected to develop a major
course work program with his or her advisor which will provide adequate preparation
for the candidacy exams and adequate background for a successful research
program leading to a Ph.D. dissertation. Students who satisfy minimum requirements
on the written examinations will be admitted to oral examinations. A single pass-fail
outcome of the examinations will be determined from a combination of written and oral
grades with standards in each category set to assure an adequate professional level
of performance.
There is no special language requirement for the Ph.D. degree program in
meteorology. Ability to do independent research must be shown by a written
dissertation which embodies an original contribution to knowledge, on some topic
connected with meteorology. Departmental requirements for the dissertation are
essentially the same as Graduate School requirements. Typically, Ph.D. programs in
meteorology require from three to five years of study beyond the bachelor's degree
depending on the prior education and training of the candidate.
Facilities and Special Resources
Special facilities supporting the teaching and research activities of the Meteorology
Department include continuous weather facsimile equipment on line with the National
Weather Service NAFAX network, a mini-computer to receive and archive real-time
weather data and forecasts from the N.W.S. Domestic Data Service, a synoptics
laboratory, solar radiation monitoring station, weather instrument station (NOAA
cooperative observing station), atmospheric -chemistry laboratory, special laboratory
facility for fluid dynamics experimentation in rotating systems, and a linear wind-wave
tank for studying the interaction of water waves and wind.
Adjacent to the Meteorology Department is the University's Computer Science
Center with Univac and IBM computers. A portion of the University IBM 4381 is
dedicated to the work of COLA. The Department also has a computer terminal facility
which provides remote access to computers at the National Center for Atmospheric
Research in Boulder, Colorado (CRAY computer), and to the NASA Goddard Space
Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland (Amdahl and CDC Cyber computers). The
METO — Meteorology 391
Department is installing a super-mini computer network which will support near
real-time interactive processing of conventional weather data, radar data, and satellite
images (UNIDATA Level 2).
Special data collections supporting the teaching and research activities include
Northern Hemisphere meteorological data tabulations on microfilm, unique historical
daily weather map series dating back to 1899, complete set of climatological data for
the United States dating back to 1917, files of the (former) NOAA State Climatologist
for Maryland, NOAA satellite data archive including visible and infra-red photography
and film loops, and meteorological data for four outlying weather stations on University
farms.
The Meteorology Department has a modern teaching laboratory in which
educational color video tapes and 16 mm films may be produced and/or played back.
Sufficient equipment is installed to allow students and faculty to produce their own
educational materials for classroom and seminar use as well as to record experiments,
field trials or lecture events.
Aside from general library facilities on the campus, there is, within the Meteorology
Department, a specialized library with several hundred text and reference books in
meteorology and allied sciences, many specialized series of research reports and
many current journals in meteorology and related fields. Access to the vast holdings of
the atmospheric Sciences Library of NOAA at Rockville, Maryland, within about 30
minutes of the campus, has been arranged.
Professional interactions with the major federal agency in the atmospheric,
oceanographic and hydrologic sciences are provided under a formal Memorandum of
Agreement with NOAA. This agreement provides for the development of special
courses and seminars by visiting faculty from these agencies as well as opportunities
for faculty and students to work on site at NOAA facilities. In addition, through
membership in the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, the Meteorology
Department enjoys the common facilities offered by the National Center for
Atmospheric Research at Boulder, Colorado.
Financial Assistance
Graduate Assistantships are available to qualified graduate students. Research
Assistants carry on research in the general areas of synoptic and dynamic
meteorology, satellite meteorology, climate dynamics, micrometeorology and air
pollution, theoretical or experimental fluid dynamics, atmospheric radiation, and
general circulation. Stipends are maintained at a competitive level.

The Department of Philosophy offers graduate programs leading to the M.A. and Ph.D.
degrees, with emphasis on contemporary British and American philosophy and the
bearing of philosophy on other disciplines. A person seeking the Ph.D. normally
enters that program directly, without first pursuing the M.A. program (though the M.A.
may be earned on the way to the Ph.D.). Whereas the Ph.D. program is suitable
primarily for persons who wish to enter a career of teaching and research at the
college or university level, the M.A. program is appropriate for persons who desire to
deepen and expand the knowledge they gained as undergraduates or to develop
competence in philosophy for the sake of its applications in some other professional
field.
A special, interdisciplinary curriculum in the history and philosophy of science, in
cooperation with the Department of History and under the supervision of the
Committee on the History and Philosophy of Science, is also offered, at the M.A. and
Ph.D. levels.
The Center for Philosophy and Public Policy, operating under the auspices of the
Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and the Division of Arts and Humanities
engages in research, teaching, and curriculum development in the ethical and
conceptual issues in public policy formation. The Center offers graduate students
opportunities for course work and research.
The newly instituted Linguistics Program maintains close ties with the Philosophy
Department, and offers additional teaching and research strength in issues of
language and mind.
The Department sponsors a series of colloquia by visiting and local speakers
throughout the academic year.
Admission and Degree Information
The Department admits to the Ph.D. program only students intending to undertake
full-time study toward that degree.
Students seeking admission to the Ph.D. program in philosophy should normally
have completed, with a high grade average, at least eighteen semester hours (or the
equivalent) of philosophy, including one course in logic, two courses in the history of
philosophy, and two courses from among the following areas: ethics, epistemology,
and metaphysics. The Graduate Record Examination Aptitude Test (verbal and
416 Philosophy Program
quantitative sections) is required. Applications must be supported by two or three
letters of recommendation from previous instructors, at least one of whom is familiar
with the applicant's work in philosophy. Applicants are required also to submit a
sample of their written work on a philosophical topic. The letters and paper, as well as
the G.R.E. test scores, should be sent directly to the Department of Philosophy.
Students may be admitted to the curriculum in the history and philosophy of
science with fewer than eighteen hours in philosophy provided that this is
compensated for by a strong background in science. For details, consult the
Chairperson, Committee on the History and Philosophy of Science.
Qualitative criteria for M.A. admission are substantially less stringent than for Ph.D.
admission, but the same supporting documents must be provided.
The M.A. program may be pursued through either of two options: with thesis or
without thesis. On either option candidates demonstrate competence in symbolic logic
and knowledge of modern philosophy. There are no specific course requirements
beyond the Graduate School requirements applicable to all M.A. degrees. Foreign
language skills are required insofar as demanded by the individual student's research.
To earn the M.A. without thesis a student must pass a written comprehensive
examination and must submit a collection of papers demonstrating competence in
philosophical research and writing.
In addition to satisfying Graduate School requirements applicable to all Ph.D.
programs, students in the regular philosophy program are required to demonstrate
competence by examination in two general areas — ethics and social and political
philosophy; and metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of science — and
subsequently to demonstrate competence, primarily by the writing of one or more
papers, in some specialized area of philosophy. These demonstrations must be
achieved within six semesters, during which time the student must register for full-time
study. Other special requirements are: qualification in symbolic logic; fulfillment of
certain course distribution requirements; participation in a departmental teaching
seminar; and presentation of a research paper at a departmental colloquium. All Ph.D.
students are required also to gain two semesters' experience in teaching
undergraduates at an institution of higher learning, either by way of the Department's
teaching assistantship program or some other program approved by the Department's
Director of Graduate Studies.
Foreign language skills are required insofar as demanded by the individual
student's research.
An accelerated Ph.D. program, having somewhat different requirements, for
exceptionally promising and well-prepared students permits early concentration on the
dissertation subject.
Philosophy students pursuing the Ph.D. curriculum in the history and philosophy of
science are subject to certain special requirements: they must demonstrate
competence by examination, plus written papers, in (a) the history of science and the
contemporaneous philosophies of science, and (b) the philosophy of science and
related metaphysical and epistemological problems. The third area for demonstration
of competence is either a field of science (for students not possessing an
undergraduate science degree) or an area of philosophy. Course work must include
courses in the history of science and technology, the philosophy of science,
graduate-level courses in an area of science, a course on research methods in history
and philosophy of science, and either Philosophy 471 or 478. In addition the student
must demonstrate reading competency in a foreign language, normally French or
PHIL — Philosophy 417
German.
Financial Assistance
The Department administers a number of graduate assistantships. Well-prepared
entering students have a good chance of receiving some financial support in the first
year, and there is presumption in favor of reappointment through the fourth year.
Additional Information
Brochures describing the regular MA and Ph.D. programs in philosophy may be
obtained by writing to the Committee on Graduate Admissions and Awards,
Department of Philosophy. Information concerning the curriculum in the history and
philosophy of science may be obtained from the Chairperson, Committee on the
History and Philosophy of Science.

Physical Education Program
Professor and Chair: Clarke
Professors: Dotson, Ingram, Kelley, Kramer, Sloan, Steel
Associate Professors: Church, Hult, Phillips, Santa Maria, Vaccaro, Wrenn
Assistant Professors: Arrighi, Clark, DiRocco, Goldfarb, Hatfield, Hurley, Kisabeth, Pike,
Ryder, Struna, Tyler, VanderVelden, Young
The graduate student majoring in Physical Education may pursue the degrees of
Master of Arts (thesis and non-thesis options) or Doctor of Philosophy. The two major
objectives of these programs are: (1) to study the discipline of physical education by
examining the effects of physical activity on individuals from a physiological,
kinesiological, psychological, social and historical point of view; and (2) to acquaint the
student with curricular aspects of physical education, to improve the quality of
teaching, and to offer the student ways of improving the administration and supervision
of programs in schools and colleges.
The graduate program is organized into three divisions, offering major emphasis as
follows: (1) Division of Sport Studies, including history of sport, psychology of sport,
philosophy of sport (M.A. only), and sociology of sport; (2) Division of Biophysical
Studies with specialties in physiology of exercise, motor learning and development,
and biomechanics; and (3) Division of Professional Studies, with emphasis on
curriculum/instruction, administration/supervision, and sports management (M.A. only).
Admission and Degree Information
The basic minimum guideline for admission to the M.A. program in Physical Education
is a B average or a 3.0 average for the last two years of undergraduate study, both in
the major and related subject fields. Students not quite meeting these qualifications
may be admitted provisionally. Undergraduate prerequisites for advanced study in
Physical Education include physiology of exercise, kinesiology, statistics, and two
courses from a discretionary pool. Students without these necessary courses may
register as special students or be admitted provisionally with limited course
deficiencies. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is required for admission.
Admission to the Ph.D. program is secured upon the basis of satisfactory
preparation for advanced graduate work and demonstrated potential for scholarly
achievement. A B+ grade point average (3.5 on a 4.0 point scale) in previous
graduate work, with at least a 3.0 overall average in the final two years of
undergraduate study, is the scholastic standard for admission. The GRE is required for
admission. In those cases where special qualifications are apparent from letters of
recommendation and documentations of special backgrounds, but where the
scholastic standards stated above are not met in their entirety, a student may be
admitted on a provisional basis. Students on provisional status will have their work
carefully reviewed by a graduate review committee usually within the first year for
further classification.
The requirements for the M.A. in Physical Education (Thesis Option) are a minimum
of 24 semester hours, exclusive of thesis. Six are required in the PHED specialty, with
six additional PHED hours required. In addition, PHED 610, Methods and Techniques
of Research (3 credits), and a PHED research process course (3 credits) are required
of all M.A. students majoring in physical education. The remaining six hours are to be
taken outside the major department, in related courses intended to supplement and
Physical Education Program 421
support the major work. The student is also required to register for six semester hours
of thesis credits (PHED 799). Thus the total number of credit hours required for the
degree is 30. Two years of full-time graduate study are usually required for completion
of The Master's degree. The requirements for the M.A. in Physical Education
(non-thesis option) are a minimum of 30 semester hours. Required courses include
PHED 610 and a three hour research processes course which supports the major
subject matter area. A minimum of six (6) credit hours must be taken in the PHED
major specialty, with nine (9) additional PHED hours required. Six (6) credit hours must
be taken outside the department in related courses, and a minimum of three (3) credit
hours must be taken in PHED 689, Special Problems in Physical Education, involving
independent work on a project under the direction of a Graduate Faculty member. The
student must pass a final comprehensive examination.
The requirements for the Ph.D. degree consist of course work in the following
areas: (1) a minimum of 12 hours in the area of specialization, (2) a minimum of 6
hours in an additional area within the department, and (3) a minimum of 15 hours in a
related studies area selected from outside the Department. In some instances more
credits may be required for completion of this requirement, which must consist of
subject matter essential to support the dissertation topic. Courses completed may be
taken within a single department or from several departments.
Students within all divisions of the Department must demonstrate competency in
research. Commensurate with this competency is a basic understanding of the
scientific method including the ability to apply logic and objectivity to the
understanding of phenomena and the ability to formulate and test relevant hypotheses.
Normally, competency in the scientific method includes demonstrating an
understanding of (1) the research processes in physical education; (2) the quantitative
methods of analysis employed in physical education research; and (3) the principles
underlying the statistical aspects of experimental and non-experimental designs
employed in physical education research.
Twelve hours is the minimum and eighteen the maximum allotted for the Ph.D.
dissertation. (PHED 899).
No foreign language is formally required for the Ph.D. degree, although in certain
situations it may be required by the advisor of students who are doing extensive
reading in German, Spanish. French. Russian or some other language.
Facilities and Special Resources
The Department maintains a modern research laboratory for physical education,
including, but not limited to, cinematographic analysis, biochemical assays,
cardiovascular measurement, strength and other motor fitness assessments, body
composition, analysis of motion, and motor learning and motor development research.
In addition, the new Physical Education, Recreation and Health building complex offers
the graduate student access to research facilities including a small animal laboratory
and a minicomputer based data acquisition system for real-time laboratory application
which interfaces with the University Computer Science Center.

Admission and Degree Information
Because of the large number of qualified applicants, the Department of Physics and
Astronomy has had to restrict formal admission to the Graduate School to those who
have shown particularly outstanding work in their undergraduate records, or who have
already done satisfactory work in key senior-level courses at the University of
Maryland. Students who have less outstanding records but who, because of
exceptional circumstances, show special promise may be given provisional admission,
with regular admission pending the satisfactory completion of existing deficiencies.
Each student so admitted will be informed by an assigned departmental advisor what
background is lacking, and what must be accomplished to achieve regular admission.
The University of Maryland hopes in this way to offer an opportunity for advanced
study in physics and astronomy to all qualified students.
Entering graduate students are normally expected to have strong backgrounds in
physics, including courses in the intermediate level in mechanics, electricity and
magnetism, thermodynamics, physical optics, and modern physics. A student with
deficiencies in one or more of these areas may be admitted, but will be expected to
remedy such deficiencies as soon as possible.
The Graduate Record Examination (GRE Advanced) is recommended, and the
average GRE score for admission is 730. A minimum overall score of 500 on the Test
of English as a Foreign Language is required of applicants from non-English speaking
countries.
The Department offers both thesis and non-thesis M.S. programs. The departmental
requirements for the non-thesis option include at least four courses of the general
physics sequence, PHYS 601, 602, 604, 606, 622 and 623, plus the graduate lab,
PHYS 621, unless' specifically exempted; a research paper as evidence of ability to
organize and present a written scholarly report on contemporary research; the passing
at the master's level of one section of the Ph.D. qualifying exam; and the, passing of a
final oral examination.
The requirements for the Master of Science degree with thesis include at least four
courses of the general physics sequence, the graduate laboratory unless specially
exempted; and the passing of an oral examination including a defense of thesis.
The requirements for the Ph.D. in Physics are set in general terms to allow the
individual student as much freedom as possible in preparing a course of study suited
to individual needs. These requirements are: competence in basic physics indicated
by satisfactory performance on a Qualifying Examination and in the Graduate
Laboratory; a research paper as evidence of ability to organize and present a written
scholarly report on contemporary research prior to candidacy; advanced course study
outside the student's field of specialization consisting of at least two courses (6
credits) in physics at 700 or 800 level and two courses (6 credits) recognized for
graduate credit given outside the physics program (this may include astronomy); PHYS
624 or 625 for students with theoretical theses; and research competence through
active participation in at least two hours of seminar, 12 hours of thesis research and
the presentation and defense of an original dissertation.
430 Physics Program
Facilities and Special Resources
The current research in the Department spans an immense range of theoretical and
experimental work on the forefront of knowledge, far too large to describe here. For
details of the work in the various fields, the faculty and the facilities involved, the
Department annually puts out a booklet entitled "Research in Physics and Astronomy,"
which may be obtained upon request.
To give some idea of the magnitude of the program we note that of the professional
faculty of 77, there are 68 engaged in separately budgeted research; faculty members
at other ranks likewise engaged in research number 96. In 1983-84, 85 graduate
students also have participated in research, under stipends. The current federal
support for research amounts to approximately twelve and one-half million dollars
annually, attesting to both the size and the quality of the program.
The Department houses the Center for Theoretical Physics, which provides a
means for outstanding theoretical physicists to visit the Department as postdoctoral
fellows and visiting faculty members.
There are close academic ties with the Institute of Physical Science and
Technology on the campus; members of this institute supervise graduate research and
share in the teaching of physics courses. The Department also has close ties with the
University's Computer Science Center, which provides outstanding computer facilities
for the University.
In addition to using College Park campus facilities, graduate students can, under
certain conditions, utilize resources of nearby federal laboratories.
The University of Maryland is located within the metropolitan area of Washington,
D.C., where it enjoys the proximity of a large number of outstanding institutions such
as NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, the Naval Research Laboratory, the Naval
Surface Weapons Center, the National Bureau of Standards, the Johns Hopkins
Applied Physics Laboratory, the Department of Energy, the National Institutes of
Health, the Library of Congress, and other federal institutions. The Department has
close ties with certain research groups at some of these institutions. In order to
facilitate graduate study in the Washington area, the Department of Physics and
Astronomy has part-time professors in certain government laboratories.
Students desiring to do graduate work in physics at a government agency should
contact a member of the graduate faculty in the Department.
Financial Assistance
The Department offers both teaching and research assistantships. In 1983-84 there
were about 72 teaching assistants and 86 research assistants. Summer research
stipends for advanced graduate students are customary, and a few summer teaching
assistantships are available.
The deadline for applications for financial support is February 1 for assistantships
and fellowships.
Graduate students also can seek full-time or part-time employment in the many
government and industry laboratories located within a few miles of the campus.

The Department of Psychology offers training leading to the degree of Doctor of
Philosophy. By Departmental ruling, the number of graduate students is limited to a
ratio of four resident students per member of the Graduate faculty, insuring close and
intimate contact in research and seminars.
Training for the Master of Arts and Master of Science degrees differs in the relative
emphasis on content in the social and biological sciences. Programs leading to the
Doctor of Philosophy degree are offered in the areas of clinical, counseling,
experimental, industrial, applied developmental psychology, quantitative, and social
psychology. The experimental area is further subdivided into three fields of study:
biopsychology; human learning and psycholinguistics; and sensory and perceptual
processes. Many fields have a range of subspecialties (e.g., engineering psychology)
in which the student may concentrate. The Department's doctoral programs in both
Clinical and Counseling Psychology have been approved by the American
Psychological Association.
Admission and Degree Information
The Department accepts as graduate students only those who have demonstrated
superior aptitude and appear capable of completing the requirements for the doctoral
degree. All of the specialty areas offer doctoral level programs; they do not accept
students who are interested in terminal M.A. degrees. The average scores of students
admitted for the 1983-84 academic year were GRE V+Q 1250, GRE Psychology 600,
G.P.A. 3.7; Psychology G.P.A. 3.8. The Department of Psychology encourages
applications from minority groups and women.
Applicants are encouraged to submit applications by February 1 of each year for
entrance in the fall as the available spaces are usually filled early.
For a doctoral degree a minimum of 72 hours beyond the B.A. is required. All
students entering with a B.A. are required to take two courses in statistics and five
courses in areas outside their specialty program. These five courses must be core
courses chosen from a group of available courses designed to provide basic
information in a variety of specialty areas.
The remaining credit hours (approximately 50 hours) are devoted to research and
course work in the participant's specialty program. If the student chooses to have a
second specialty, two advanced courses along with one core course may be taken in
PSYC — Psychology 441
one coherent area to provide a second specialty.
While the course of study in the Department of Psychology is at the doctoral level,
most students choose to earn the M.A. or M.S. degree en route to the Ph.D. The M.A.
or M.S. degree requirements are thirty hours of work including the two courses in
statistics, and three core courses. A research thesis is also required. Advancement to
the third and fourth year of doctoral level work is based upon satisfactory completion
of core courses, work in the student's specialty area and completion of a research
requirement.
Facilities and Special Resources
The Department moved into a new building during the summer of 1971, and new
facilities were designed by the faculty of the Department of Psychology for the training
of graduate students. In addition, its geographic location in a suburb of Washington,
D.C. makes accessible a wide variety of laboratory and training facilities in
governmental, and other agencies, as well as many psychologists prominent in the
profession.
Financial Assistance
The Department gives financial aid to almost all incoming students. The Department of
Psychology does not offer a part-time program. Students are required to attend
classes, take part in research and teach as graduate assistants. Each of these
assignments is considered a critical part of the graduate training program. It is not
possible to obtain this type of education on a part-time basis. Thus, students are not
permitted to hold off-campus jobs unless they are under the direct supervision of the
faculty.

brochures and application materials may be obtained by writing:

Assistant Professor: Winer
Faculty Research Associate: Pastor
The School of Public Affairs provides graduate-level, professional education to men
and women of distinction of mind and character. Five disciplines are emphasized:
accounting, statistics, economics, politics and ethics. Students specialize in issues of
government/private sector interaction, international security, or public sector financial
manaagement. The program is open to pre-career and mid-career graduate students
and builds on the School's location in the Baltimore/Washington corridor.
Admission and Degree Information
The School offers two degrees: the Master of Public Management (MPM) and the
Mid-Career Master of Public Policy (MPP). The School also offers joint degree
programs with the School of Business (MPM/MBA) and the Law School (MPM/JD). In
addition, several non-degree certificates are available.
Master of Public Management
The MPM is a two-year, 54 credit, full-time professional degree, combining a
rigorous applied course of study with practical, hands-on experience.
About forty students enter the program each Fall. Although this number is small,
the candidates come from a wide variety of undergraduate schools and majors. The
average undergraduate GPA of the entering class was 3.3; the average GRE score,
620. All students are required to have successfully completed college level math
(through introductory calculus) before they enter the School.
During the first year, students fulfill the core requirements which emphasize the
tools of policy analysis: accounting, statistics, economics, politics and ethics. In
addition they are introduced to the policymaking process and future job contacts
through structured interviews with national policy makers. Except for an elective
course option during the second semester, the first year students take all of the core
requirements together.
During the summer between the first and second year, students obtain employment
in federal, state or local government agencies or in private firms which deal extensively
with government agencies. In addition to gaining practical experience and utilizing the
skills acquired during the first year, this opportunity provides contacts and
relationships useful for future projects and job placement.
During the second year, students specialize in one of three concentrations: Public
Policy and Private Enterprise, Public Sector Financial Management, or National
Security Policy. They also complete their core curriculum requirements by taking
Macro-Economics Theory and Policy Analysis.
Each concentration requires participation in a project course. Students, working
individually or in small groups, conduct research on problems of interest to the
sponsor and themselves at sponsoring government agencies or private firms.
School of Public Affairs (Public Management and Public Policy Programs) 453
Master of Public Policy
The MPP is a 36 credit degree program designed for Mid-Career students. This
degree recognizes that individuals in the midst of their careers need to update their
knowledge of today's complex public issues in order to move into positions of greater
authority and responsibility.
The typical MPP candidate has worked in the public or public-related sector for a
minimum of three years and is capable of handling a rigorous academic program as
well as excelling in his/her professional career. The candidates enter the School with
varied academic as well as professional backgrounds. Most have a minimum of a 3.0
from their undergraduate school with some college level math and economics. (If
candidates do not have these courses in their background, admission will be
contingent upon the successful completion of appropriate coursework).
The MPP degree consists of two components: the core curriculum in Methods of
Policy Analysis and a selected area of concentration in Public Sector Financial
Management, Public Policy and Private Enterprise, or National Security Policy.
The courses are typically offered in the early morning or late afternoon. It is
expected that the program will be completed in a maximum of three years with all
students taking two courses each Fall and Spring semester.
Master of Public Policy candidates may also be considered for the Mid-Career
Fellowship Program. Under the joint auspices of the School and various federal
agencies and state and local governments, this program recognizes high potential
employees for accelerated career development and education. Fellows participate in
the Master of Public Policy degree program as well as a professional development
series which includes special seminars, guest speakers and a management
development retreat.
Certificate Programs
The School offers Certificate Programs in four areas: Methods of Policy Analysis,
Public Policy and Private Enterprise, Public Sector Financial Management, and
National Security Policy. Each program consists of 18 credits (6 courses) and should
be completed in a maximum of three semesters.
MBA/MPM Joint Program
The College of Business and Management and the School of Public Affairs, both of the
College Park Campus, . offer a joint program of studies leading to MBA and MPM
degrees. Under the terms of the joint program, a student may earn both degrees in
approximately five-six semesters. The accelerated program is possible because some
courses can be credited toward both degrees. Candidates must be admitted to both
programs.
Under the joint program, 66 credits are required for graduation, split roughly
equally between the programs. Grade point averages in each program will be
computed separately and students must maintain minimum standards in each school
to continue in the program. A student must complete both programs satisfactorily in
order to receive both degrees. A student whose enrollment in either program is
terminated may elect to complete work for the degree in which he or she remains
enrolled but such completion must be upon the same conditions as required of regular
(nonjoint program) degree candidates. Student programs must be approved by the
Dean of the School of Public Affairs and the MBA Program Director. For further
454 PUAF — Public Affairs
discussion of admission and degree requirements, students should see the general
admissions requirements for each program.
MPM/JD Joint Program
The School of Public Affairs and the School of Law (located on the University's
Baltimore City campus) offer a joint program of studies leading to MPM and JD
degrees. Under the terms of the joint program, a student may earn both degrees in
four academic years. The accelerated program is possible because some courses
can be credited toward both degrees. Candidates must apply for admission to the
Law School as well as the Graduate School at College Park and must be admitted to
both programs.
Under the joint program, 75 credits in law school coupled with 39 credits in the
School of Public Affairs are required for graduation. Grade point averages in each
program will be computed separately and students must maintain minimum standards
in each school to continue in the program. A student must complete both programs
satisfactorily in order to receive both degrees. A student whose enrollment in either
program is terminated may elect to complete work for the degree in which he or she
remains enrolled but such completion must be upon the same conditions as required
of regular (nonjoint program) degree candidates. Student programs must be
approved by the Associate Deans of each school. For further discussion of admission
and degree requirements, students should see above and consult the entry in the
University of Maryland School of Law catalog.
Financial Assistance
The School has substantial financial aid available in the forms of Fellowships and
Graduate Assistantships. All qualified applicants are considered.

The graduate program in Sociology offers course work leading to M.A. and Ph.D.
degrees. Particular areas of emphasis in the Department include: Social Psychology
(socialization, self-concept, small groups, attitudes); Survey and Social Research
Methods; Theory (classical theory, contemporary theory, theory construction,
meta-theory); Organizations and Occupations (with a special concentration on
innovation); Family (with a special concentration on family mental health); Social
Demography (with a special emphasis on family demography); Sex Roles, Markets and
Stratification; Military Sociology (with a special emphasis on manpower planning);
Comparative Macro Sociology (with a special focus on development, social
movements and new theories of the state and equality), and Rural Sociology
(emphasis on demography and human ecology, community and social indicators).
Other areas of specialization may be developed by individual students working with
one or more faculty members. 10*Each specialty area has at least one basic course
at the 600 level, one or more specialized or supporting courses at the 600 level, and
an advanced special topics seminar at the 700 level. Several of the 600 level courses
can apply to more than one area. Highly specialized courses are offered once every
four semesters, while basic courses and the more specialized courses that are in high
demand are offered once a year.
Within the last three years, about half the -students finishing Ph.D. degrees in the
Sociology Department have found employment doing college-level teaching and about
half in research, administration, and consulting in federal, state, or private
organizations. We anticipate that an increasing proportion of students completing
graduate work in the near future will be engaged in either research administration or
applied research in government or private organizations.
Sociology Program 465
Admission and Degree Information
Admission to the graduate program is based upon the student's prior academic
record, GRE scores, letters of recommendation, and other information relevant to the
applicant's chances of successfully completing the program. Although a previous
major in sociology is not required, students entering the Master's degree program
should have had the following undergraduate courses; mathematics through college
algebra, elementary statistics, sociological theory, and sociological research methods.
Students entering the Ph.D. program should have had at least one graduate level
course each in sociological theory, sociological research methods, and statistics.
Students deficient in any of these areas may be admitted to the program provisionally,
but must satisfy the requirements their first year in the program.
A minimum of 30 hours is required for the Master's degree, including one course
each in statistics, sociological theory, and two courses in research methods. A
Master's thesis is required. Usually, this phase of the program can be completed in
two years.
Ph.D. candidates should have met all the Master's degree requirements. In
addition, there are four required courses; one each in sociological theory, statistics,
research methods, and one course that integrates theory and methods. It is possible
to take some of the Ph.D. courses at the Master's level. A minimum of 24 hours of
coursework in addition to Master's degree courses is required. Ph.D. students must
pass three comprehensive examinations; at least one general examination (Social
Organization or Social Psychology) and at least one area of specialization. The
language requirement may be met by passing a language examination or making a B
or better in one of a number of other research tool courses. Usually these requirements
plus the dissertation can be completed in three years.
Facilities and Special Resources
The Sociology Department is located in a new building with ample office space and
research space. Facilities include data processing and computer capabilities, a small
groups laboratory, a demography laboratory, and a department library. The university
has excellent computer facilities, and computer time is readily available to faculty and
graduate students.
Financial Assistance
Financial assistance for graduate students is available through teaching and research
assistantships, and for advanced students through part-time instructorships. All carry
remission of tuition and fees.

Assistant Professors: Aguilar Mora, Zappala
The Department of Spanish and Portuguese offers graduate programs leading to the
degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy in Spanish. The Department's
offerings are designed to provide the required advanced training in language,
literature, and linguistics for achieving professional excellence in high school and
college teaching and for undertaking creative research in related fields of inquiry.
Employment statistics show that opportunities for the M.A. and Ph.D. graduates of
this Department have been excellent during the last ten years. All our M.A. graduates
have found employment commensurate with their academic training. Most graduates
entered teaching careers; several work in government agencies and international
organizations. During the same period, all of our Ph.D. graduates who wished to
undertake a career in teaching and research have obtained satisfactory appointments
at colleges and universities. The important role played in this country by Hispanics and
the recognition of their cultural imprint bode well for future expansion in all areas
related to this particular field.
Admission and Degree Information
The degree of Master of Arts has two options: 1) the non-thesis option and 2) the
thesis option. A total of 30 credit hours are required for the non-thesis option, with 3
credits in linguistics; 3 credits in literary theory and/or criticism; 15 credits in either
Spanish or Spanish-American literature, one of which is to be considered the
candidate's "major" literature; and 9 credits in the other, or "non-major" literature.
Students must also submit a written scholarly paper in the final semester of their
SPAN — Spanish 475
program, which will be read and evaluated by at least two appropriate faculty
members.
The requirements for the thesis option are the same as for the non-thesis option,
with one exception: the course requirement in the "major" literature is reduced from 15
to 9 credits, with 6 hours of thesis research credit required. All MA. candidates take
comprehensive examinations.
The doctoral degree is a research and specialized degree, and it does not require
a fixed number of credit hours. Before admission to candidacy, the student must
demonstrate 1) a thorough knowledge of the literary production in the chosen area
(Spanish or Spanish-American Literature); 2) an in-depth knowledge of the field of

Graduate studies in the Department of Special Education include programs leading to
Master of Arts and Master of Education degrees, Advanced Graduate Specialist
certificates, and Doctor of Education and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Areas of
concentration may include: Learning Disabilities; Mental Retardation; Behavior
Disorders; Severely Handicapped (including autism); Early Childhood (including
infancy); Gifted & Talented; and Career-Vocational Special Education for the
handicapped. Concentrations in Administration and Supervision and Policy Studies
are available at the doctoral level.
Graduate work in special education at the master's level is designed to prepare
master teachers, specialists, and program leadership personnel for the handicapped.
Graduate work at the doctoral level is designed to prepare national leadership
personnel for the handicapped.
The Ph.D. in Special Education is targeted primarily on research, scholarship and
educational leadership. This overall goal is achieved in and through the selection of
areas of emphasis or the major concentrations listed above. Graduate work at the
doctoral level can also be done in educational administration and supervision, and
policy development and implementation for the handicapped with a specialized
national focus. The Ed.D. is focused on these same areas, but has an emphasis on
applied research and programming. A variety of minor specializations taken outside
the Department are also possible. Content coursework in the areas of administration
and policy studies are developed in collaboration with other departments in the
College and University.
Special Education graduates are eligible for a wide variety of professional
opportunities. Students who graduate with a Masters degree in Special Education may
enter positions in the public schools as master teachers or in other positions of
leadership. Opportunities also exist in private settings where graduates may find
positions as coordinators, administrators, or other specialized support staff. Doctoral
degree graduates have numerous options, such as university faculty positions,
professional staff positions in State Departments of Education, the Federal government,
and in the public schools. Private agencies and organizations may also seek doctoral
graduates as directors or specialized support staff. Historically, employment
opportunities for Special Education graduates have been excellent.
Special Education Program 481
Admission and Degree Information
Graduate programs are planned individually by the student and advisor. Each program
reflects the individual student's background, goals, and the level of competency being
sought. There is no one program of study which all graduate students follow. Individual
programming by students and advisor allows wide latitude of career direction within
the field of special education upon completion of graduate study.
Graduate study in Special Education requires advanced competencies in the
education of exceptional children. Students entering the program with special
education certification are required to take a minimum of 36 credit hours. Additional
coursework is required for students entering without academic preparation in
education. For example, students entering without certification in education are
required to take a minimum of 60 credit hours: students entering with early childhood,
elementary, or secondary education certification are required to take a minimum of 45
credit hours. Upon completion of their degree students in each of these categories
may qualify for Maryland State Certification in Special Education.
Students pursuing the master's degree program in Special Education may earn the
Master of Arts degree or the Master of Education degree. Specific basic course
requirements in Special Education are the same for either program with differentiation
of thesis requirements. The student generally takes a minimum of 15 hours Special
Education. Specific programs and the number of credit hours required will be
determined with the student's advisor according to the student's background and
career plans.
The Advanced Graduate Specialist certificate in Special Education is available to
students wishing to take increased graduate work beyond the Masters level. A student
pursuing an A.G.S. certificate in Special Education is required to take the following
courses if they have not been part of the Master's program: EDMS 645, EDMS 646.
and EDHD 721. The minimum number of graduate hours for the A.G.S. is 60. The core
of the program should be made up of Special Education courses and other work within
the College of Education or other Colleges of the University as approved by the
student's advisor and the Special Education Graduate Faculty.
Students pursuing the doctoral program in Special Education must have completed
the Master of Arts degree or the Master of Education degree and may elect to work for
either the Ed.D. or Ph.D. degree. Students should consult the Department Statement
on Graduate Programs. A student in the doctoral program will generally complete a
minimum of 90 hours of graduate study of which 30-40 hours will be in the major field.
Candidates must develop doctoral level competencies in research and in any of the
areas of specialization (listed above) which fulfill their professional goals.
Facilities and Special Resources
Special strengths of the Special Education program include the focus on integrated
field experiences, the utilization of Special Education Research facilities, and the wide

The Department of Textiles and Consumer Economics offers programs of study leading
to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Fields of specialization are
TEXTILES and/or CONSUMER ECONOMICS. In the field of textiles, students may
concentrate in textile science, textile economics and marketing, textile evaluation, or
historic textile/costume/conservation. In the field of consumer economics, students
may concentrate in consumer economics, consumer policy, consumer behavior, or
consumption analysis.
Students completing the M.S. or Ph.D. degrees in Textiles and Consumer
Economics have strong employment opportunities with government, industry, and
educational institutions.
Admission and Degree Information
There are no rigid course requirements for admission to the graduate program in
Textiles and Consumer Economics. A major in Home Economics, Consumer
Economics, Textiles and Clothing, Textiles, or a relevant discipline such as chemistry,
economics, or psychology is acceptable as background for study in this field.
Preparation in the basic physical and social sciences (chemistry, mathematics,
economics, psychology, and sociology) is highly recommended. Necessary course
prerequisites (without graduate credit) can be completed after admission to the
graduate program. All applicants are required to submit scores of the Graduate
Record Examination Aptitude Test.
Thesis and non-thesis options are available for the Master of Science degree. In the
thesis option, students must complete a minimum of 24 hours of course work, a thesis,
and pass a final oral examination on the thesis. In the non-thesis option, students must
complete a minimum of 30 hours of course work, submit one scholarly paper, and
pass a written comprehensive final examination. Students in both the thesis and
non-thesis options must present one departmental seminar.
Students with bachelor's degrees may apply for the doctoral program although they
are encouraged to complete requirements for the M.S. degree. Applicants holding a
master's degree in an equivalent field from an accredited institution may be admitted
for immediate doctoral study. Previous graduate work will be evaluated on an
individual basis, but a minimum of 18 hours of course work beyond the master's level
is required for the Ph.D. degree in addition to 12 hours of dissertation research.
Qualifying examinations are administered upon completion of basic course
requirements in either textiles or consumer economics. Written and oral
comprehensive examinations are given upon completion of all course work. A final
oral examination is held for the student to defend the dissertation.

Facilities and Special Resources
The graduate program is multidisciplinary in nature with graduate faculty from
chemistry, engineering, economics, behavioral sciences, and the arts. Departmental
research facilities include the historic textiles and costume collection and a number of
fully equipped specialized research laboratories. These include comfort research
facilities, a textile conservation laboratory, several textile chemistry laboratories, a dark
room for photomicroscopy, several temperature and humidity controlled textile
evaluation laboratories, a flammability testing and evaluation laboratory, a color and
environmental evaluation laboratory, a consumer behavior laboratory, and a resource
room for reference materials frequently used by graduate students and faculty. In
addition, the Department has several Apple II microcomputers and a Decwriter, all
interfaced with the University's central computing facility. To the graduate student,
perhaps our most important resource is the Department itself, and the people in it.
The members of our graduate faculty are active in a variety of fields, from textile
science to law. These faculty members, together with our graduate students and
adjunct faculty, form a lively and intellectually stimulating community. Access to
federal agencies where decisions affecting consumers are made provides graduate
students with a unique opportunity to conduct consumer related research.

21201; (301) 528-3600. Graduates also are eligible to pursue doctoral degrees in the
discipline selected for specialized study or in interdisciplinary urban studies planning,
management, and policy analysis programs.
Urban Studies graduate students (more than half of whom are part-time) come from
a wide variety of academic backgrounds (e.g., engineering, fine arts, English, history,
496 Urban Studies Program
business, geography, sociology, economics, and political science) and from many
walks of life — undergraduate liberal arts degree holders turned career-minded;
veterans; returning housewives; and others who have been out of the job market and
want a program to provide them re-entry skills and credentials; persons already in
urban-related jobs who want to enrich their education and upgrade their credentials.
This diverse student body provides a rich learning environment in which many types of
experiences and ideas are exchanged.
The Institute provides specializations in metropolitan management, and
metropolitan planning. Specializations may also be developed through course work in
other departments of the university offering courses related to urbanization. Some of
the departments providing such opportunities include: Afro-American Studies,
Architecture, Business and Management, Civil Engineering, Computer Science,
Criminal Justice and Criminology, Economics, Education, Family and Community
Development, Fire Protection Engineering, Geography, Government and Politics,
Health, Housing and Design, Journalism, Recreation, Sociology and Speech and
Communications. The student's specialization is developed in consultation with the
Director of Graduate Studies.
Employment opportunities for Institute graduates, though highly-competitive, remain
strong. The Washington, D.C. metropolitan region offers diverse employment potential
in urban analysis, program management and planning, and computer applications.
Admission and Degree Information
Institute admissions policy is designed to achieve a student mix of experienced
practitioners and strong recent graduates. The aptitude test score of the Graduate
Record Examination is required of recent graduates whose grade point averages are
below 3.2 Applicants with professional experience should provide three letters of
recommendation and a resume indicating their education and employment history.
Experienced applicants may be admitted provisionally (subject to successful
completion of initial coursework) even if their undergraduate grade point average is
below regular university requirements, if their employment experience indicates a high
probability of success in the program. To accommodate part-time students and
students with internships, all required courses are offered in late afternoon and
evening.
The Institute for Urban Studies offers a 37 credit hour Master of Arts degree.
Candidates for this degree are required to meet these core requirements: (1) Methods
courses (7 credit hours)-GEOG 483, URBS 601, and URBS 602; (2) Substantive
courses (12 credit hours)-URBS 630, URBS 640, URBS 660, URBS 670, and URBS 680
(take 4 of 5 courses); (3) Procedural courses (3 credit hours)-URBS 656 and URBS
666 (take 1 of 2 courses); (4) Specialization courses (15 credit hours). With the advice
of an Urban Studies advisor, degree candidates must design a coherent specialization
from courses in Urban Studies and from related departments. Specializations might
include: metropolitan planning, urban management, urban design, community
development, urban geography, public management, international development,
computer mapping and spatial analysis, urban history, and many other designs of a
cross-disciplinary nature. An urban internship is optional. The specialization may
include 6 credits of thesis. (5) Synthesis-These learnings are synthesized by means of
a required set of written comprehensive examinations.
Both a thesis and non-thesis option are available. Each option requires 37 credit
hours. Both options require successful completion of a written comprehensive
URBS — Institute for Urban Studies 497
examination covering the synthesis of core-course knowledge. Students are eligible to
take the comprehensive examination after completing 24 credit hours, including core

and GEOG 483, and others as approved by the URBS graduate advisor.
A degree in Urban Studies is not awarded solely on the basis of the accumulation
of the minimum numbers of credit hours. If in the judgment of the faculty, a degree
candidate needs to demonstrate additional academic performance, then remedial work
may be assigned before the degree will be awarded.
Facilities and Special Resources
In addition to its regular faculty, the Institute regularly draws a number of
outstanding adjunct faculty from the Washington Metropolitan Area to teach several
courses a year.
Financial Assistance
A limited number of graduate assistantships and fellowships are available and the

The Department of Zoology offers programs of study leading to the degrees of Master
of Science (thesis and non-thesis) and Doctor of Philosophy with specialization in the
following fields: cell biology, developmental biology, estuarine and marine biology,
genetics, physiology, systematics and evolutionary biology, behavior, invertebrate
zoology, endocrinology and ecology.
Admission and Degree Information
Admission to graduate study in the Department of Zoology requires a baccalaureate
degree from a recognized undergraduate institution. In addition, course work in
calculus, statistics, physics, and organic chemistry is required. Able students who lack
preparation in a particular area may be admitted, provided that the deficiency is
corrected early in the graduate work. Graduate Record Examinations are required.
The thesis master's program enables a student to engage in advance study and to
undertake a research project. It may be a terminal degree or may demonstrate the
student's research ability and lead to continuation of graduate work for the Ph.D. in
the same or related area. There are no requirements in excess of the general
requirements established by the Graduate School. All requirements for the master's
degree are to be completed within a three year period. A final oral examination on the
thesis is given whenever the student has completed all other requirements for the
degree.
The non-thesis master's program provides opportunity for advanced education and
a terminal degree for those who are not research-oriented. All non-thesis master's
students are required to complete at least 30 hours of course work, of which no fewer
than 18 must be at the 600 level or above in Zoology or appropriate related fields. No
fewer than 16 hours of courses must be in Zoology and three of these courses should
be in a single area of specialization. In addition, at least one satisfactory scholarly
paper must be written in an area approved by the student's advisor. A written
comprehensive examination in three areas of Zoology must be passed before the
degree is awarded. All requirements must be completed within a three-year period.
The Ph.D. program in Zoology is basically a research program providing maximal
opportunity for the student to evolve and develop his or her capacity for scholarship
and independent work. Opportunity is provided for in-depth study in an area of
specialization. A doctoral candidate must complete at least 30 credit hours of
advanced course work including a minimum of 12 semester hours of doctoral
research. A formal preliminary examination is given to all doctoral students within the
first two years of enrollment in the Department. The examination is basically an oral
examination focusing primarily on determination of whether or not the student has the
ZOOL — Zoology 501
proper motivation, intellectual capacity and curiosity, and educational background and
has or can develop the technical skills to successfully pursue the Ph.D. program.
However, there is no formal restriction on the extent or the range of the questions
asked of the candidate. The doctoral dissertation must be completed and defended
usually within three, preferably two years, after passing of prelims.
Facilities and Special Resources
The Zoology Department's share of the Zoo-Psyc Building provides adequate space
for graduate teaching and research. The research laboratories are well equipped with
a wide variety of scientific instrumentation. In addition, the Department has special
suites for both transmission and scanning electronmicroscopy, constant temperature
rooms, four sound proof rooms — one being an anechoic chamber designed
specifically for sophisticated research in ethology — photographic dark rooms, sterile
transfer rooms, and a histotechnology suite. In addition, some research opportunities
are available to students through the Department's association with staff members of
the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Smithsonian Institution,
National Zoo, and several marine laboratories.
Although the Department maintains no library of its own, the University has a fine
graduate library housing a Science and Technology Division. In addition, facilities such
as the National Library of Medicine and the Department of Agriculture Library as well
as the Library of Congress greatly expand the Library material within relatively easy
access to the Department.
Additional Information
Students are urged to communicate directly with the faculty in the area of their interest
but additional general information and a statement of particular departmental
requirements may be obtained by writing to the Director of Graduate Studies,
Department of Zoology.

Resolution on Academic Integrity
May 8, 1981 WHEREAS, it is the responsibility of the University of Maryland to maintain
integrity in teaching and learning as a fundamental principle on which a university is
built; and
WHEREAS, all members of the university community share in the responsibility for
academic integrity; therefore
BE IT RESOLVED, that the University of Maryland Board of Regents hereby adopts the
following Statement of Faculty, Student and Institutional Rights and Responsibilities for
Academic Integrity.
606
Statement of Faculty, Student and Institutional Rights and
Responsibilities for Academic Integrity
Preamble At the heart of the academic enterprise are learning, teaching, and
scholarship. In universities these are exemplified by reasoned discussion between
student and teacher, a mutual respect for the learning and teaching process, and
intellectual honesty in the pursuit of new knowledge. In the traditions of the academic
enterprise, students and teachers have certain rights and responsibilities which they
bring to the academic community. While the following statements do not imply a
contract between the teacher or the University and the student, they are nevertheless
conventions which the University believes to be central to the learning and teaching
process.
Faculty Rights and Responsibilities
1 . Faculty shall share with students and administration the responsibility for academic
integrity.
2. Faculty are accorded freedom in the classroom to discuss subject matter
reasonably related to the course. In turn they have the responsibility to encourage
free and honest inquiry and expression on the part of students.
3. Faculty are responsible for the structure and content of their courses, but they have
the responsibility to present courses that are consistent with their descriptions in
the University catalog. In addition, faculty have the obligation to make students
aware of the expectations in the course, the evaluation procedures, and the
grading policy.
4. Faculty are obligated to evaluate students fairly and equitably in a manner
appropriate to the course and its objectives. Grades shall be assigned without
prejudice or bias.
5. Faculty shall make all reasonable efforts to prevent the occurrence of academic
dishonesty through the appropriate design and administration of assignements and
examinations, through the careful safeguarding of courses materials and
examinations, and through regular reassessment of evaluation procedures.
6. When instances of academic dishonesty are suspected, faculty shall have the right
and responsibility to see that appropriate action is taken in accordance with
University regulations.
Student Rights and Responsibilities
1 . Students shall share with faculty and administration the responsibility for academic
integrity.
2. Students shall have the right of inquiry and expression in their courses without
prejudice or bias. In addition, students shall have the right to know the
requirements of their courses and to know the manner in which they will be
evaluated and graded.
3. Students shall have the obligation to complete the requirements of their courses in
the time and manner prescribed and to submit to evaluation of their work.
4. Students shall have the right to be evaluated fairly and equitably in a manner
appropriate to the courese and its objectives.
5. Students shall not submit as their own work any work which has been prepared by
others. Outside assistance in the preparation of this work, such as librarian
assistance, tutorial assistance, typing assistance, or such assistance as may be
specified or approved by the instructor is allowed.
6. Students shall make all reasonable efforts to prevent the occurrence of academic
607
dishonesty. They shall by their own example encourage academic integrity and
shall themselves refrain from acts of cheating and plagiarism or other acts of
academic dishonesty.
7. When instances of academic dishonesty are suspected, students shall have the
right and responsibility to bring this to the attention of the faculty or other
appropriate authority.
Institutional Responsibility
1 . Campuses or appropriate administrative units of the University of Maryland shall
take appropriate measures to foster academic integrity in the classroom.
2. Campuses or appropriate administrative units shall take steps to define acts of
academic dishonesty, to insure procedures for due process for students accused
or suspected of acts of academic dishonesty, and to impose appropriate sanctions
on students guilty of acts of academic dishonesty.
3. Campuses or appropriate administrative units shall take steps to determine how
admission or matriculation shall be affected by acts of academic dishonesty on
another campus or at another institution. No student suspended for disciplinary
reasons at any campus of the University of Maryland shall be admitted to any other
University of Maryland campus during the period of suspension.
AND, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that campuses or appropriate administrative
units of the University of Maryland will publish the above Statement of Faculty, Student
and Institutional Rights and Responsibilities for Academic Integrity in faculty
handbooks and in student handbooks and catalogs;and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board of Regents hereby directs each
campus or appropriate administrative unit to review existing procedures or to
implement new procedures for carrying out the institutional responsibilities for
academic integrity cited in the above Statement; and
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the Board of Regents hereby directs each campus
or appropriate administrative unit to submit to the President or a designee for approval
the campus' or unit's procedure for implementation of the institutional responsibility
provisions of the above Statement.
Code of Student Conduct
A Code of Student Conduct was adopted by the Board of Regents on January 25,
1980, and is applicable to both graduate and undergraduate students. The Code is
reproduced in the Undergraduate Catalog and is available in the Office of the Dean for
Graduate Studies and Research and in the Office of Judicial Programs.
Charges of academic dishonesty are handled by the Graduate School, and
procedural guidelines for dealing with these matters are available in the Dean's office.
University Policy on Disclosure of Student Records
(Buckley Amendment)
The University of Maryland adheres to a policy of compliance with the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act (Buckely Amendment). As such, it is the policy of
the University (1) to permit students to inspect their education records, (2) to limit
disclosure to others of personally identifiable information from education records
without students' prior written consent, and (3) to provide students the opportunity to
608
seek correction of their education records where appropriate.
I. Definitions
A. "Student" means an individual who is or who has been in attendance at the
University of Maryland. It does not include any applicant for admission to the
University who does not matriculate, even if he or she previously attended the
University. (Please note, however, that such an applicant would be considered a
"student" with respect to his or her records relating to that previous attendance.)
B.
"Education records" include those records which contain information directly
related to a student and which are maintained as official working files by the
University. The following are not educational records:
(1) records about students made by professors and administrators for their own
use and not shown to others;
(2) campus police records maintained solely for law enforcement purposes and
kept separate from the education records described above;
(3) employment records, except where a currently enrolled student is employed
as a result of his or her status as a student;
(4) records of a physician, psychologist, or other recognized professional or
paraprofessional made or used only for treatment purposes and available
only to persons providing treatment. However, these records may be
reviewed by an appropriate professional of the student's choice;
(5) records which contain only information relating to a person's activities after
that person is no longer a student at the University.
It is the policy of the University of Maryland to permit students to inspect their
education records.
A. Right of Access
Each student has a right of access to his or her education records, except
confidential letters of recommendation received prior to January 1, 1975, and
financial records of the student's parents.
B. Waiver
A student may, by a signed writing, waive his or her rights of access to
confidential recommendations in three areas: admission to an educational
institution, job placement, and receipt of honors and awards. The University will
not require such waivers as a condition for admission or receipt of any service
or benefit normally provided to students. If the student chooses to waive his or
her right of access, he or she will be notified, upon written request, of the
names of all persons making confidential recommendations. Such
recommendations will be used only for the purpose for which they were
specifically intended. A waiver may be revoked in writing at any time, and the
revocation will apply to all subsequent recommendations, but not to
recommendations received while the waiver was in effect.

IV.
It is the policy of the University of Maryland to provide students the opportunity to
seek correction of their education records.
A. Request to Correct Records
A student who believes that information contained in his or her education
records is inaccurate, misleading, or violative of privacy or other rights may
submit a written request to the Office of Registrations specifying the
document(s) being challenged and the basis for the complaint. The request will
be sent to the person responsible for any amendments to the record in
question. Within a reasonable period of time of receipt of the request, the
University will decide whether to amend the records in accordance with the
request. If the decision is to refuse to amend, the student will be so notified and
612
will be advised of the right to a hearing. He or she may then exercise that right
by written request to the Office of the Chancellor.
B. Right to a Hearing
Upon request by a student, the University will provide an opportunity for a
hearing to challenge the content of the student's records. A request for a
hearing should be in writing and submitted to the Office of Registrations. Within
a reasonable time of receipt of the request, the student will be notified in writing
of the date, place, and time reasonably in advance of the hearing.
(1) Conduct of the hearing
The hearing will be conducted by a University official who does not have a
direct interest in the outcome. The student will have a full and fair opportunity
to present evidence relevant to the issues raised and may be assisted or
represented by individuals of his or her choice at his or her expense,
including an attorney.
(2) Decision
Within a reasonable period of time after the conclusion of the hearing, the
University will notify the student in writing of its decision. The decision will be
based solely upon evidence presented at the hearing and will include a
summary of the evidence and the reasons for the decision. If the University
decides that the information is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in
violation of the privacy or other rights of students, the University will amend
the records accordingly.
C. Right to Place an Explanation in the Records
If, as a result of the hearing, the University decides that the information is not
inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student's rights, the
University will inform the student of the right to place in his or her record a
statement commenting on the information and/or explaining any reasons for
disagreeing with the University's decision. Any such explanation will be kept as
part of the student's record as long as the contested portion of the record is
kept and will be disclosed whenever the contested portion of the record is
disclosed.
V. Right to File Complaint
A student alleging University noncompliance with the Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act may file a written complaint with the Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act Office (FERPA), Department of HEW, 330 Independence Avenue, S.W.,
Washington, D.C. 20201.
