Applicants to a graduate program of
the University must meet tfte minimum
standards set forth by the Rorida Board
of Regents (BOR), ttie University, and
when applicable, additional require-
ments set by each department for ad-
mission to a graduate program.
Applicants must check the individual de-
partmental requirements.

A student seeking admission into a
graduate program of the University must
have a bachelor's degree or equivalent
from a regionally accredited institution
or, in tfie case of foreign students, an in-
stitution recognized in its own country
as preparing students for further study
at the graduate level. The applicant

transcripts.

In most cases, an applicant must, at
a minimum, present either a 'B' average
in upper level work, or a combined
score of 1000 on the Graduate Record
Exam (GRE) or a score of 500 on the
Graduate Management Admission Test

(GMAT) when applicable and required
by the individual department, or a gradu-
ate degree from an accredited Institution.

All graduate applicants, regardless
of previous grade point average or de-
grees, are required to submit the appro-
priate test scores.

An applicant who fails to meet these
criteria may appeal the admission deci-
sion and be considered under the
BOR's Exception policy. This policy al-
lows up to 10 percent of the graduate
students admitted for a particulsir aca-
demic year as exceptions to the above
criteria.

Foreign graduate applicants are ac-
cepted subject to space and fiscal limita-
tions. In addition to tfie atxjve University
admission requirements, foreign appli-
cants must be academically eligible for
further study in their own country and

ally much higher tfian costs In many
other parts of the vrorid. Tfie University
has approved a plan which provides cov-
erage of most expenses and which is
adequate for the needs of most stu-
dents; however, a student may select al-
ternate coverage provided it meets
minimal coverage requirements. A copy
of tfie requirements for alternate policies
Is availat)le from tfie Office of Interna-
tional Services. Compliance with tfie in-
surance regulation is required prior to

student, be applied toward graduation
requirements at tfie University, if thie stu-
dent should change from non-degree-
seeking to degree-seeking status.

The following regulations will apply
to non-degree-seeking students:

1 . Such students are not required to
meet the usual admission requirements
and are not officially admitted as regular
students. Enrollment as a non-degree-
seeking student does not imply a right
for future admission as a regular, de-
gree-seeking student. Credit earned will
not be counted toward a degree at the
University unless such students sub-
sequently apply for regular admission
and are accepted as undergraduate or
graduate students.

2. Registration is permitted on a

seeking students may not register dur-
ing the official registration week for

not changed by thie instructor.

Note: All courses for which a student
is officially registered at the end of the
Drop/Add Period and on which a Letter
Grade, a 'DF, or a 'WF is received are
calculated in ttie GPA.

Grading Options

The Colleges and the Schools make the
determination of the grading option of
each course. A course may be offered
for a letter grade as listed above or
Pass/Fail; or for an optional grade in
which the student fias a choice of either
receiving a letter grade or pass/fail; or
the student may choose to audit a
course and an 'AU' grade wnll be re-
corded on the student's records. The
grading option must be indicated at the
time of registration. The grading option
cannot be changed after the Drop/Add
period. There are no exceptions to this
deadline.

To register for an audit, the student
must obtain the permission and signa-
ture of the instructor of the course
audited.

incomplete Grade

An incomplete grade is a temporary
symbol given at the discretion of the in-
structor for work not completed because
of serious interruption not caused by the
student's own negligence. An incom-
plete must be made up within two se-
mesters or it will automatically default to
the grade that ttie student earned in the
course. There is no extension of the two
semester deadline. The student must
not register again for the course to
make up ttie incomplete.

Forgiveness Policy

A forgiveness policy is a way in which a
student may repeat a limited number of
courses to improve his or her grade
point average (GPA) by having only the
grade received on ttie last repeat used
in its calculation. Under the University's
forgiveness policy, a student must file a
Repeated Course Form with the Office
of Registration and Records. The form
must be submitted no later than one
year after the semester in which the
grade was received. All courses taken

wnth the grades earned will be recorded
on the student's trsmscript. The re-
peated course form will not be proc-
essed if the first or repeated grade
received is 'DR', 'DP', 'Wl', 'WP', 'AU',
'NR', or 'EM'. Repeated courses will be
appropriately designated (T: attempted;
R: last repeat).

Graduate students may repeat no
more than tvro courses under this njle
with no course being repeated more
than once. Ttie course shall be re-
peated on a letter grade basis. Only the
grade and credit received in ttie second
attempt shall be used in computing the
overall GPA. However, tfie original
grade will remain posted on the stu-
dent's pennanent record, txjt will not be
used in computing the overall GPA.

A course taken on a letter grade ba-
sis must be repeated on the same ba-
sis. A student will not be allowed
additional credit or quality points for a re-
peated course unless the course is spe-
cifically designated as repeatable
(independent study, studio courses,
etc.). If a student is not using the forgive-
ness policy, he or she may still repeat a
course. All attempts will apply to compu-
tation of tfie GPA but credit for one at-
tempt will apply toward graduation.
Students must check with the appropri-
ate academic department to determine
whether there are additional restrictions
on repeating courses.

Departmental Credit by
Examination

Departmental credit by examination is
available for certain courses. A student
who has already gained knowledge of a
subject offered at the University and
wfx3 wishes to take an examination in
lieu of taking the course should discuss
the matter with his or hier academic advi-
sor and with the department offering ttie
course.

Awarding departmental credit by ex-
amination is ttie prerogative of each aca-
demic unit. To receive credit by
examination, a student must be a regu-
lar degree-seeking student, register,
and pay for the courses in the regular
manner. Once the student is awarded
the Departmental Credit by Examina-
tion, an EM grade will be recorded on
the transcript.

Change or Correction of Grades

Once submitted, end-of-semester
grades (except Incompletes and NR's,
which default at the end of two terms)
are final sind are subject to change only
through a Change of Grade Form to cor-
rect an error in computation or transcrib-
ing, or v\rtiere part of the student's wori<
has been unintentionally overiooked.

Final Examinations

Rnal course examinations will be given
during the week following tfie last day of
classes during each semester. The Sum-
mer semesters do not fiave final exami-
nation periods and course examinations
may be given at the discretion of the fac-
ulty member teaching the course.

Grade Reports

At the end of each semester, the Office
of Registration and Records mails each
registered student a copy of his or her
end of term grades.

Application for Graduation

Each student wfio plans to graduate is
required to submit to the Office of Regis-
tration and Records an Application for
Graduation fonm. This form, supplied by
the Office of Registration and Records,
must be submitted before tfie end of the
third week of classes of the academic
semester in which graduation is ex-
pected. A student turning in the Applica-
tion for Graduation after the deadline
will graduate the following semester.

ining tfie question of microbiologically
mediated cfiemical processes; all to
fielp bring understanding about how
changes in conditions in the Everglades
will affect the water quality in the Bis-
cayne Aquifer, the source of South Flor-
ida's water.

Although the Center receives sup-
port from the state, its research is pri-
marily funded through research grants
or contracts awarded to individual re-
search projects. Funding has been re-
ceived from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, the South Florida
Water Management District, The Ever-
glades National Park, the Dade County
Department of Environmental Re-
sources Management, local water utili-
ties and private companies.

While tfie Center has a complete ar-
ray of instaimentation for the water qual-
ity analyses necessary in the course of
its research projects, time and staff con-
straints do not permit routine testing of
water for irvdividuals.

The DWRC does not conduct aca-
dernic classes. However, qualified stu-
dents often fiave an opportunity to work
as a research assistants in the DWRC
laboratories or carry out independent re-
search projects. Cooperation and inter-
cfiange with ottier departments in tfie
University is stressed.

vidual research projects.

The Joint Center functions as an ap-
plied research and publk: service facility
that carries out programs supportive of
local, regional and state agencies, edu-
cational institutions, and non-profit or-
ganizations. The Center achieves its
purposes through activities in the follow-
ing program areas: (1) in-house re-
search with eipplication to state,
regional, eind local governments; (2) re-
search projects, supported by grants
and contracts with publk; and private

agerxjies, that address environmental
and urban problems; (3) applied re-
search grants awarded to faculty at Ihe
two universities; (4) publication of ttie
Joint Center's quarteriy publication, Envi-
ronmental and Urban Issues, and
growth management monograph series;
(5) production, in conjunction with FlU's
Media Services, of television documen-
taries and public service messages con-
cerning selected urtan and
environmental topics; and (6) work-
shops, assemblies, conferences and
lectures.

Institute for Public
Opinion Researcli

The Institute for Public Opinion Re-
search (IPOR), a research arm of the
School of Journalism and Mass Commu-
nicatkxi, conducts public opinion polls
from its survey research lab on tfie
hJorth Miami Campus. The institute was
founded in 1983 and was quickly recog-
nized by public and private organiza-
ttons tfxoughout South Florida as a

valuable survey research resource.
IPOR's primary function Is to provide
public policy decisions-makers with
timely and relatively inexpensive infor-
mation on how a scientifically-selected
cross-section of the publk: starxis on
various policy issues. Ways in which
IPOR is fulfilling this function include:

1 . The annual FlU/Florida Poll which
is the most comprehensive public opin-
ion survey conducted in the state. The
FlU/Fbrida Poll asks Roridians about
the important issues facing ttiem -
crime, education, transportation, fiealth,
taxes, politics, etc. - and asks many of
the questions year after year, providing
valuable longitudinal information not be-
fore available. The publication in book
form of the results of the FlU/Rorida
polls provides public officials, academ-
ics, businessmen, and thie general pub-
lic with a ready reference resource
about opinion in the state. The informa-
tion provided in the FlU/Rorida Poll
books is unique in ttie United States,
and gives planners and decision makers
in Rorida an additional valuable informa-
tion resource.

2. IPOR provides sun^ey research ex-
pertise to members of the FlU commu-
nity needing such expertise in
conjunction with thieir official duties at
the university. This includes assistance
in ttie preparation of research proposals
wfiich call for survey research, provided
thiat the survey research part of the pro-
ject, if funded, is conducted under sub-
contract by IPOR in cooperation vwth
the director of the funded project.

3. IPOR's staff and facilities are avail-
able in support of instructional activities
at tfie graduate and undergraduate level
involving public opinion research and
survey research methodology.

4. IPOR continues to seek external
funding in support of its long-standing in-
terest in the area of public-policy com-
munication. That may, for example,
include the development of an annual
South Fksrida survey, development of a
standard metropolitan area assessment
instrument which would be readily avail-
able to major cities and counties in the
state, or development of a standard in-
strument by which state and local legis-
lators can quickly and inexpensively
gauge Itie sentiments of their constitu-
ents on policy Issues.

5. IPOR, in cooperation vwth the Cen-
tral American Journalism Project of the
SJMC, involves itself In ttie develop-
ment of affordable and scientifically ac-
ceptable survey research methodology
usable in tfie developing democracies of
Latin America and ttie Caribbean.

IPOR is located in Academic One,

Florida's Statewide
Course Numbering
System

The course numbers appearing in tfie
catalog are part of a statewide system
of prefixes and numbers developed for
use by all public post -secondary and
participating private institutions in Ror-
ida. One of tiie major purposes of tills
system is to make transferring easier by
identifying courses which are equiva-
lent, no matter where tfiey are taught in
the state. All courses designated as
equivalent will carry the same prefix and
last tiiree digits.

The classifying and numbering of
courses is done by faculty in each aca-
demic discipline. Their wort< is revievred
by all of Florida's postsecondary institu-
tions who make suggestions and criti-
cisms to be incorporated into the
system.

The course numbering system is, by
law, descriptive and not prescriptive. It
in no way limits or controls wtiat courses
may be offered or fx)w they are taught.

Graduate Catalog

General Information / 35

It does not affect course titles or descrip-
tions at Individual schools. It seeks only
to describe wtiat is being offered in post-
secondary education in Rorida in a man-
ner that is intelligible and useful to
students, faculty, and other interested
users of the system.

The course numbering system was
developed so that equivalent courses
could be accepted for transfer without
misunderstanding. Each public institu-
tion is to accept for transfer aedit any
course which carries the same prefix
and last three digits as a course at the
receiving institution. For example, if a
student has tal<en SYG 000 at a commu-
nity college, ha cannot be required to re-
peat SYG 000 at tfie school to which he
transfers. Furtfier, credit for any course
or its equivalent, as judged by tfie appro-
priate faculty task force and published in
the course numbering system, which
can be used by a native student to sat-
isfy degree requirements at a state uni-
versity can also be used for that
purpose by a transfer student regard-
less of wfiere the credit was earned.

It should be noted that a receiving in-
stitution is not precluded from using non-
equivalent courses for satisfying certain
requirements.

General Rule for Course
Equivalencies

All undergraduate courses bearing the
same alpha prefix arxJ last three num-
bers (and alpha suffix, if present) have
been agreed upon to be equivalent. For
example, an introductory course in soci-
ology is offered in over 40 post-secon-
dary institutions in FkMida. Since these
courses are considered to be equiva-
lent, each one will carry the designator
SYG 000.

Rrst Digit

Tfie first digit of tfie course number is as-
signed by the institution, generally to in-
dicate the year it is offered: 1 indicates
freshman year, 2 indicates sophomore
year, etc. In tfta sociology example men-
tioned above, or>e school which offers
tfie course in the freshman year will
number it SOC 1000; a school offering
the same course in the sophomore year
will number it SOC 2000. The variance
in first numbers does not affect ttie
equivalency. If the prefix and fast three
digits are tfie same, tfie courses are sub-
stantively equivalent.

Titles

Each Institution will retain its own title for
each of its courses. The sociology
courses menttoned above are titled at
different schools 'Introductory Sociol-
ogy,' 'General Sociology', and 'Princi-
ples of Sock>k)gy'. The tide does not

affect tfie equivalency. Tfie courses all
carry tfie same prefix arxl last ttvee dig-
its; tfiat is what identifies tfiem as
equivalent.

Lab Indicators

Some courses will carry an alpfia suffix
indicating a lab. The alpha suffixes 'L'
and 'C are used as follows to indicate
laboratories: 'L' means either (a) a
course, the content of w/hich is entirely
laboratory or (b) the laboratory compo-
nent of a lecture-lab sequence in which
the lab is offered at a different
time/place from the lecture.

'0' means a combined lecture-lab
course in which the lab is offered in con-
juration with the lecture at the same
time/same place.

Examples

Marine Biology OCB 013 (lecture only)
OCB013L (lab only)

Marine Biology OCB 01 3C (lecture
and lab combined)
Therefore, OCB 01 3C is equivalent

to OCB 013 plus OCB 013L.

Equivalency of Sequences

In certain cases, sequences of courses
in a given disdpiina are equivalent
rather than the individual courses which
make up these sequences. (For exam-
ple, CHM_045 plus CHM_046). In sev-
eral institutions students have
completed substantively equivalent con-
tent. These sequences are deariy identi-
fied in the Course Equivalency Profiles.

Explanation of Prefixes and
Numtiers

Prefixes and numbers in the course
numbering system are not chosen at
random; they are designed to describe
course content in an organized fashion
within a classification system developed
for each subject matter area.

Generally, each of tfie major classifi-
cations in a disci|3line is represented by
a three-alpfia prefix. In some cases, one
three-alpfia prefix has been sufficient for
the entire discipline. A discipline may
use as many prefixes as necessary to
accommodate its major classifications.
The togic of the system allows it to be in-
finitely expandable with minimal dismp-
tion to existing numbers.

History, for example, has seven pre-
fixes: AFH, African History; AMH, Ameri-
can History; ASH, Asian History; EUH,
European History; HIS, History - Gen-
eral ; LAH, Latin American History; and
WOH, Worid History. All history courses
in the state will carry one of these
prefixes.

A complete Inventory of taxonomic
listings, equivalent and unique courses

has been made available to each aca-
demic department of every institution in
the state. Students, through thieir local
advisors, should use this infonmatk>n in
designing programs which will transfer
smoothly.

A more specific example is AMH
3421 (Eariy American History)

AMH Broad Area of American History;
part of discipline of History

3 Junior level offering (at this
particular institution)

4 In Taxonomy for AMH 400
series indicates 'Areas in
American History

2 In Taxonomy for AMH this

digit indicates courses in 'His-
tory of Florida'

1 Last digit in this case refers

to group of equated courses
dealing with 'Eariy History of
Rorida'

Exception to the Rule for
Equivalencies

The following are exceptions to tfie gen-
eral rule for course equivalencies:

1. All numbers which have second
digit of 9 (Ex.: ART 2906) are 'place
keeper' numbers for such courses as di-
rected independent study, thesis hours,
etc. Courses with 900 numbers must be
evaluated individually and are not auto-
matically transferable.

2. All internships, practicum, clinical
experiences and study abroad course,
whatever numbers they carry, are not
automatically transferable.

3. Performance or studio courses in
Art, Dance, Theatre, and Music are not
automatically transferable, but must be
evaluated individually.

Authority For Acceptance of
Equivalent Courses

Authority for acceptance of equivalent
courses is State Board of Education
Rule 6A- 10.24(1 6) wNch states:
(16) When a student transfers
among postsecondary area vocational-
technical centers, community colleges,
and universities, the receiving institutton
shall award credit for courses satisfacto-
rily completed at the previous institu-
tions when ttie courses are judged by
ttie appropriate common course desig-
nation and numbering system faculty
task force to be equiv^ent to courses of-
fered at the receiving institution and are
entered in ihe course numbering sys-
tem. Credit so awarded can be used by
tiansfer students to satisfy certifk:ate
and degree requirements in these insti-
tutions on the same basis as native stu-
dents.

The Geology Program is designed to
prepare students for careers In re- .
Search, teaching, and other governmen-
tal or private agencies. The main
objectives of the Department Is to con-
tribute to the search for a better under-
standing of local geological problems,
focusing especially on those related to
ground water supply; and to conduct re-
search on the geology of the Caribbean
region. Well-equipped laboratories ex-
pose students to the major techniques
of the sciences. The program offers
both a rigorous B.S. degree In Geology
and a broader-based interdisciplinary
B.A. in Geology. Grades of 'D' will not
be accepted for required courses in
eittier program option.

Master of Science in
Psychology

The Masters of Science in Psychology
program at ttie University is designed to
train practitioners and researchers wtxj
can function in a variety of applied set-
tings. The core curriculum and admis-
sion prerequisites are intended to
provide students with a base of knowl-
edge in psychology. A distinctive feature
of tfie program is its emphasis on a
dose working relationship between stu-
dent and faculty. Under faculty supervi-
sion, students are encouraged to
develop individually tailored programs of
study that reflect both student interests
and program strengths.

The curriculum consists of 36 semes-
ter hours of graduate study in wNch the
exposures focus specifically on training
the student to perform the skills men-
tioned ahiove. Students are expected to
select electives, project/thesis topics,
and supervised field experiences that
meet not only the degree requirements,
but also their academic interest and par-
ticular professional objectives. Six of the
36 semester credit hours consist of Mas-
ter's thesis credits.

Doctor of Philosophy in
Psychology

The doctorate program in psychology
has a two-fold focus: (1 ) Life-span devel-
opment (2) applied psychology. The
program emphasizes normal develop-

ment as well as cross-cultural and url^an
perspectives on the life span and legal
and industrial/organizational applied psy-
cfx)logy. The emphasis is on academic
quality and the curriculum is designed to
foster a commitment both to basic re-
search and to application as an integral
. part of tfie IrxJividual student's specialty
area development. The curriculum of-
fers a broad background in life-span de-
velopment and applied psychology
while encouraging the development of
an area of specialization early in gradu-
ate training.

Students are expected to master a
series of core-course requirements de-
signed to facilitate a thorough grounding
in theory, methodology, and content
both in basic and applied research. In
addition, a number of seminars reflect-
ing specialized foci are offered. Stu-
dents are also required to pursue
specific areas of interest through inde-
pendent study with individual faculty
members and through apprenticeship
with a primary advisor for the purpose of
acquiring direct research experience.

Master of International
Business (MIB)

The Department offers a graduate de-
gree, the Master of International Busi-
ness, and the graduate level Certificate
in International Business. (See Certifi-
cate Programs.) The Master In Interna-
tional Business is designed to prepare
students who seek a career in some as-
pect of global business. The past few
decades have seen a rapid expansion
in the field of international ti'ade and in-
vestments and virtually no business en-
tity today is exempt from woridwide
competitive forces. This expansion has
resulted in \he development of interde-
pendent economic systems witfi all the
political ramifications of such interde-
pendence. The business person of the
future must not only have a keen aware-
ness of domestic business practices,
but foreign business strategies as well.
Furthermore, there must be a global po-
litical awareness and sensitivity in order
to develop viable corporate strategies.

The global character of the program
is not only to be found in tfie cuniculum,
but witfiin the multinational composition
of tfie students enrolled in tfie program.
Qualified foreign stijdents are actively re-
cruited and the program seeks tiie ac-
tive participation of foreign as \Ne\\ as
domestic corporations tfiough lectures
by executives of these corporations or
internships.

The program is designed in such a
manner as to accommodate undergradu-
ate business majors as well as non-busi-
ness majors. The latter will have to meet
tfie pre-core requirements which focus
on the basic functional aspects of busi-
ness and tfie related skills that might be
necessary. Undergraduate business ma-
jors w/ho have not taken the equivalent
of any of the pre-core courses also
would have to meet these pre-core re-
quirements.

Programs within the field of Educational
Psycfxjiogy are designed to train profes-
sionals to meet the unique needs of indi-
viduals who experience cognitive,
academic, and/or social-emotional diffi-
culties that interfere with the individual's
progress in school and in the commu- '
nity. Specific competencies are deline-
ated for professionals in the field of
school counseling, community counsel-
ing, and school psychology.

Tfiese programs emphasize the
blending of research and theory with
practical applied experience. They con-
sider the urban, multi-cultural nature of
the community, as well as more general
trends within specific fields. All pro-
grams involve extensive field work with
accompanying seminars. Independent
study courses are available to allow stu-
dents to pursue specialized interests
and needs.

Applicants are required to submit an
application to the Office of Admissions.
All applicants must present ORE scores
for the Verbal and Quantitative sections,
three letters of recommendation (at
least one from academic sources and
one from work or volunteer experience),
and an autobiographical statement. Can-
didates are admitted by action of the De-
partment's Graduate Admissions
Committee. Criteria for program accep-
tance include GRE scores, undergradu-

ate grade point average during junior
and senior years, wori< and volunteer ex-
perience, quality and source of letters of
recommendation, and the candidate's
career aspirations and goals. A com-
bined Verbal-Quantitative GRE score of
1000 and/or GPAof 'B' or higher during
tfie undergraduate junior and senior
years (i.e. last 60 semester hours), or
both, are required for a candidate to be
admitted via regular procedures.

All programs preparing school per-
sonnel are approved by the State of

thie program to be eligible for certifica-
tion by the State.

Counselor Education Tracks

The counselor education tracks require
60 semester hours, or the equivalent of
four academic semesters, arid lead to
tfie Master of Science degree. The
tracks follow a competency based
model, the eariy part of which is largely
generic In nature and is concerned with
the development of knowledge and
skills in thie areas of individual and
group counseling, consultation, preven-
tive mental fiealth, educational-voca-
tional development, client appraisal,
systems intervention, and model pro-
gram organization and evaluation. The
latter pan of tlie program is more differ-
entiated, and enables a specialization in
either community or school counseling.
Both areas of specialization meet the
standards recommended by the Ameri-
can Association for Counseling and De-
velopment and specialization in school
counseling qualifies tfie graduate for the
Rorida School Guidance Certificate.
The Community Counselor curriculum

tal fiealth counselor by the State of
Rorida.

The prospective student should be
advised that a substantial amount of
time is spent in field work to meet practi-
cum and internship requirements. The

mester followed by an internship consist-
ing of a 40 hour vrark week in a field
placement for tiye duration of one aca-
demic semester. The student should
plan for this field work to be during the
day, rather tfian during evening hours.

sional education as well as a course in
reading as required by tfie Rorida State
Department of Education in order to

The Department of Civil and Environ-
mental Engineering offers advanced
study for the degree ot Master of Sci-
ence. Tfie areas of specialty are Struc-
tures, Mechanics, Geotechnical,
Construction, Transportation, Water Re-
sources, and Environmental Engineer-
ing. The degree will be a Master of
Science in Civil Engineering or a Master
of Science In Environmental Engineer-
ing depending upon the eirea of selected
graduate study.

Master of Science in Civil
Engineering

The Master of Science program In Civil
Engineering emphasizes course w^ork
as well as research. The student is gen-
erally encouraged to specialize in a de-
fined area of civil engineering, but also
find it desirable to pursue a more gen-
eral program of studies combining sub-
ject material from different areas of
specialization and interdisciplinary re-
lated courses.

The graduate degree is offered to
prepare qualified students for the profes-
sional practice of civil engineering. The
degree is available in a thesis or non-
thesis program. Tfie thesis program en-
tails a minimum of six credits for the
successful completion of the research
and thesis. The non-thesis program
must be supported by the successful
completion of a project and a report of
substantial engineering content for a
minimum of three credits. A student
must satisfactorily complete a minimum
of 36 semester credits of acceptable
graduate coursework which includes a
minimum of 12 credits of graduate
courses in the specialty area.

Master of Science in
Environmental Engineering

A Master of Science In Environmental
Engineering is availsible to persons inter-
ested in graduate work in Environmental
Engineering. The program is designed
to give graduate students a broad base
of knowledge on environmental engi-
neering and on problem solving while
encouraging them to pursue individual
Interests. Thus, the curriculum has a
common core of courses but is flexible
enough to permit an interdisciplinary ap-
proach, if so desired, and allows the stu-
dent to pursue Ns or her career goals.
A proposed program of studies will
be developed at the time of admission
or no later than at the end of the stu-
dent's first semester. The applicant
should hold a Bachelor's degree in engi-

neering, the natural sciences, or a re-
lated field. Students who do not meet
the stated criteria as developed by the
faculty may be considered for admission
if they complete the required prereq-
uisites and satisfy any deficiencies.

Master of Science in
Environmental and Urban
Systems

This program prepares the student to
practice urban and regional planning, as
a discipline to address social, physical,
and economic problems of neighbor-
hoods, cities, suburbs, metropolitan ar-
eas, and larger regions. The student
must identify problems and opportuni-
ties, devise alternative policies or plans
and effect their implications.

Master of Science in
Construction Management

The master's degree is rapidly t)ecom-
ing the entry level requirement for mid-
dle and upper level managerial
positions in the construction industry.
The primary goal of this program is to
provide ttie knowledge and advanced
skills essential for success in ttiese posi-
tions. The program is flexible enough to
accommodate graduates from other dis-
dplines who may lack a part of tiie un-
dergraduate tjackground in construction
management.

Students who hold four-year under-
graduate degrees in construction man-
agement or its equivalent in related
fields may nonnally complete the mas-
ter's degree in one academic year as
full-time students. 'Equivalent in related
fields' should indude studies in con-
struction materials and metfxxds, struc-
tures, cost estimating, construction
scheduling and business manage-
ment/finsince. Students with deficiencies
in these fields may need longer resi-
dence for tfie master's degree, as ttiey
will t>e required to take specified basic
courses to provide a foundation for ad-
vanced courses.

Admission Application

Each student wishing to enter the gradu-
ate program must formally apply to the
University for acceptance. See catalog
for graduate application instructions.

Admission Requirements

In order to be admitted, applicants
should hold a Bachelor's Degree in Con-
struction, Construction Management, Ar-
cNtecture, Engineering, Business or
'equivalent related fields.' In addition,
applicants must meet one of the two fol-
lowing criteria:

1 . Have a 'B' average (3.0 GPA) or
better w/hile registered as an upper-divi-
sion student working toward a baccalau-
reate degree.

2. Obtained a score of at least 1000
on tfie Graduate Record Examination
(GRE) or a minimum score of 500 on
the Graduate Management Admissions
Test (GMAT).

GRE or GMAT

All graduate students, regardless of un-
dergraduate GPA, are required by tfie
University to take the GRE or tfie
GMAT. Students that did not take the
GRE or tfie GMAT for admission into
tfie program must take either one no
later ttian the second semester into their
master's work.

Background

Applicants should fiold a Bachelor's de-
gree in Construction, Construction Man-
agement, Architecture, Engineering,
Business or "equivalent related fields."
Transcripts of all applicants vinll be re-
viewed to ascertain successful comple-
tion of program prerequisites.

"Equivalent in related fields" should
include studies in construction materials
and methods, structures, cost estimat-
ing, construction scheduling and busi-
ness management/finance. Students
with defidendes in these fields may
need longer residence for the master's
degree, as they will be required to take
spedfied basic courses to provide a
foundation for advanced courses.

Curriculum

The graduate student has a choice of
either a thesis or non-tfiesis track to-
wards graduation. The 33 semester
hour tfiesis track consists of 30 semes-
ter hours of course work, and three se-
mester hours of thesis (three hours for
research and three hours for tfiesis
preparation). Tfie non-tfiesis (master's
report) option consists of 36 semester
flours of course work and six semester
hours of master's report (three hours for
research and three hours for report
preparation). A student sheill not register
for either the master's tfiesis or master's
report without first having received the
approval from his/her advisor, supervi-
sory committee, and the Chairman of
the Department.

Course Requirements

Graduate credit is awarded for courses
numbered 5000 and above. Tfie work in
the major field must be in courses num-
bered 5000 or above. For wof1< outside
the major, courses numbered 3000 or
atxive may be taken provided they are
part of an approved plan of study. The
program of course vrork for a master's

152 / College of Engineering and Design

degree must be approved by the stu-
dent's advisor, supervisory committee,
and Department Chair. No more than
six credits from a previous master's de-
gree program may be applied toward a
second master's degree. These credits
are applied only with the written ap-
proval of the Department Chair and th«
Dean of the College of Engineering and
Design.

Transfer of Credit

Only graduate (5000 - 7000) level work
to the extent of two courses, totaling six
semester hours, earned with a grade of
A, B+, or B may be transferred from an-
other institution approved by the Depart-
ment Chair and the Dean of tfie College
of Engineering and Design, or from post-
baccalaureate worl< at Rorida Interna-
tional University. Credits transferred
from otfier universities will he applied to-
ward meeting the degree requirements
but the grades earned will not be com-
puted in the student's grade point aver-
age. Acceptance of transfer of wedit
requires approval of tlie student's super-
visory committee and the Department
Chiair. Petitions for transfer of credit for
a master's degree must be made during
the student's first term of enrollment in
tfie master's program. Nonresident or
extension work taken at another institu-
tion may not be transferred to Rorida In-
ternational University for graduate
credit. No courses taken by correspon-
dence or as part of another degree may
be used toward a graduate degree.

Supervisory Committee

The student's supervisory committee
should be appointed as soon as possi-
ble after the student has been admitted
to the master's program but in no case
later thian the second semester of gradu-
ate study. Supervisory committees for

The Department of Landscape Architec-
ture and Architectural Studies is dedi-
cated to advancing tfie professions of
architecture, landscape architecture,
and interior design. In keeping with the
nature of these professions, the pro-
grams are taugfit in an interdisciplinary
manner, taking full advantage of the re-
sources and areas of expertise offered
by each. The department offers two un-
dergraduate programs, a Bachelor of
Science in Architectural Technology and
a Bacfielor of Science in Interior Design,
and one graduate program, a t»^aster of
Landscape Architecture.

Master of Landscape
Architecture

The graduate program in Landscape Ar-
chitecture is designed to prepare gradu-
ates for professional practice as well as
advance the kmwiedge base of the field
through research. By applying thteir un-
derstanding of the natural and cultural
environments, landscape architects plan
and design projects which range from
gardens to regional space systems to
national parks. Whether for public or pri-
vate use, the landscape architect is con-

cemed with tfie quality of relationships
between people and their environment.
The Department offers two options
in tfie Landscape Architecture graduate
program. Tfie Professional Degree Op-
tion is intended for individuals with an
undergraduate degree in a major other
tfian a design discipline, or with a pre-
professional undergraduate degree in a
design discipline. The Post-professional
Degree Option is intended for individu-
als with an undergraduate degree in
landscape architecture who wish to pur-
sue advanced professional study.

Professional Degree Option

Individuals with a Bacfielor of Arts or a
Bachelor of Science, or equivalent, from
an accredited institution are eligible for

units In such organizations.

The graduate program provides pro-
fessional education to train manage-
ment executives for administration of
complex health care organizations in
governmental and private settings.

The Master of Health Services Ad-
ministration (MHSA) provides profes-
sional education for entry management
careers in health services delivery or-
ganizations. The degree addresses ttie
tfieories and issues of managing com-
plex organizations in bo\h public and pri-
vate settings. The program is organized
to meet tfie needs of the working stu-
dent. Many individuals enrolled are al-
ready employed In administrative roles
in ttie field. While enhancing their ca-
reer, ttiey bring the wealth of tfieir expe-
rience to the classroom.

The Master's program Is designed
so tfiat full-time students may complete
all course work in five semesters. The
same curriculum can be completed by
part-time students within three years.
Formal studies stress a basic foundation
of professional knowledge, skills and
competencies in management, plan-
ning, analytic and policy functions of
fieaith services administration.

Since these studies provide a profes-
sional emphasis, the Department util-
izes a variety of local hospitals,'
long-term care facilities, prepayment
plans, mental health programs, multi- in-
stitutton corporations, emergency medi-
cal systems, health maintenance
organizations, community health cen-
ters, and related public health and pri-
vate agencies to give students
supervise fiekJ experiences and a 'practi-
cal laboratory' for operational research
in health service administration.

The goal of the Department of
Health Services Administration is to cre-
ate an academic center in which the Uni-
versity can respond to the educational
needs of the field of health services ad-
ministration. The Department's mission,
therefore, is dedicated to the following
educational objectives:

1 . To provide professional studies in
the theories, methods and practtees of
health care management, planning,
analysis, applied research, and policy

Doctor of Philosophy

The Doctor of Phitosophy in Public Ad-
ministration (Ph.D. PA) is offered in affili-
ation with Florida Atlantic University.
The basis of the degree is scholarship:
one pursues the degree in preparation
for a career in which scholarly compe-
tence and demonstrated capability to

conduct significant research is an essen-
tial element and one is conferred the de-
gree only after demonstrating such
knowledge, in course work, in examina-
tions, and in disciplined research. Its pur-
suit is a rigorous one, administered by a
research-oriented faculty fostering the
commitment to testing the boundaries of
knowledge. The program should be en-
tered only by those students who seek
academic and research careers rather
than practitioner advancement.

The Doctoral program is a research-
oriented degree. However, the objective
is not to confine holders of tfie Ph.D. in
Public Administration entirely to teach-
ing careers. The program is designed to
provide students with a firm command
of relevant theoretical and operatior^l
knowledge and research skills in public
administration and to assist them in ap-
plying this knowledge to a broad array
of career goals.

The concept of a research -oriented
Ph.D. degree is firmly supported by the
National Association of Schools of Pub-
lic Affairs and Administration (NASPAA)
Guidelines for Doctoral Programs, whic^
stress that the doctoral should not be
seen as merely a credential for practitio-
ners. Accordingly, tfie Ph.D. program in
Public Administration includes a sub-
