14 Admission to Graduate School
General Information
Admission to Graduate School
Responsibility for admitting applicants to graduate programs rests with the Dean for Graduate
Studies and Research. Academic department and program officers along with faculty
committees review admissions applications and credentials and make admissions
recommendations to the Dean. In the cases where credentials were earned abroad, the staff
of the International Education Services is consulted. The standards maintained by the
Graduate School and individual departments and programs are applied to ensure that applicants
admitted to the University are well qualified and trained to study at this institution and have
a reasonable expectation of successfully completing a graduate program. Standards for
admission to doctoral degree programs are frequently higher than those for admission to
master's degree programs. In many degree programs, the number of applications received
from qualified applicants for graduate study regularly exceeds the number of applicants who
can be accommodated. In such cases, only the most highly qualified are offered admission.
The number of spaces available in various departments is limited according to the availability
of faculty, special resources and funds for students requiring financial assistance.
Criteria for Admission
Those applicants who have earned or will earn a bachelor's degree at a regionally accredited
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.
The decision to admit an applicant to a program is based primarily on a combination of the
following criteria according to the requirements of a specific program or department.
1 . Quality of previous undergraduate and graduate work. The Graduate School
normally 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. If an applicant has studied at the graduate level elsewhere, less weight may, but
not necessarily, be 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. These letters are usually 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.
3. Scores on a nationally standardized examination. The three most widely used
standardized examinations are the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), the Graduate
Management Admissions Test (GMAT) and the Miller Analogies Test (MAT). Because the
Admission to Graduate School 1 5
predictive utility of these test 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. For
information on the programs that require any of these tests, please see the List of
Graduate programs in this catalog and the instructions that accompany application 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 goals are consonant with its objectives.
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.
Notes About Eligibility for Admission
1 . Prospective students may apply for admission to the University of Maryland at
College Park 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.
2. Prospective students applying for admission to a graduate degree program in a field
of specialization in which they already hold that same degree or its equivalent may do so only
if the previous degree program was of substantially different character or was not accredited.
3. Prospective 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, MD 20742-5121.
4. a. Non-U. S. Citizens who are legal permanent residents of the U.S. and/or
immigrants may use domestic applications for admission. To assure full consideration, all
credentials accompanied by English language translations for all documents not written in
English must be received by the Graduate School at least three months prior to the first day
of classes of the semester for which the applicants are seeking admission.
b. Foreign applicants (i.e., applicants who are not permanent residents of the U.S.
and/or immigrants) must use the International Student Application Form obtainable from the
Office of Graduate Admissions, Graduate School, University of Maryland, College Park, MD
20742. To assure full consideration, all credentials accompanied by English language
translations for all documents not written in English must be received by the Graduate School
at least seven months prior to the first day of classes of the semester for which the applicants
are seeking admission.
Categories of Admission to Degree Programs
Applicants for degree programs may be admitted to either full or provisional status as
outlined below:
1 6 Admission to Graduate School
Full Graduate Status
Students admitted to full graduate status must have submitted official documents indicating
a completed baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution and be otherwise
fully qualified in the judgment of the individual program and the Graduate School.
Provisional Graduate Status
Students may be admitted to provisional status because:
1. The previous academic record is borderline; or
2. The prerequisite coursework in the chosen field is insufficient; or
3. The applicant has majored in another field with a creditable record
not yet clearly demonstrated abilities in the proposed new field; or
4. The applicant has completed the baccalaureate degree but has not yet
submitted official verification of the last semester's work and receipt of the degree.
Official transcripts indicating receipt of the degree must be submitted before the end of the
first semester.
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 those 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.
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 adviser and filed with the
Graduate Studies office in the College of Education.
4. The Advanced Graduate Specialist Certificate program requires a minimum of 60
Admission to Graduate School 1 7
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.
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 Graduate Studies Office,
Room 1210, Benjamin Building, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742-5121.
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 qualified students who
have no degree objectives to the extent that resources allow. 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 satisfy 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.
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 normally continue for five years. If
1 8 Admission to Graduate School
there is no registration in three consecutive academic semesters, the admitted status will lapse
and a new application will be required.
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. Consequently, no more than six credits earned while in this
status may be applicable to a degree or certificate program at a later time. This is contingent
on admission to the degree or certificate program and on the approval of the faculty in the
program. 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 to return to
the graduate school in which he or she 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 graduate dean of the home institution certify to the Graduate School
in writing 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.
Golden IdentiHcation 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 they must meet the same admissions criteria pertaining to either category as do
all applicants. Once admitted and issued the Golden Identification Card, people may register
for courses in any sessions, 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
charges will be waived for Golden Identification Card holders. However, selected manditory
fees will be assessed. Also, as applicable, parking permit fees and the graduate application
fee will be charged.
Admission to Graduate School 1 9
Admission to an Institute
Application for admission to an 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 institute does not
imply that the individual will be automatically admitted in any other status at the University
of Maryland at a later dale. The 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 institute.
Offer of Admission
Applicants admitted to the Graduate School will receive a written offer of admission from
the Graduate School that specifies the date of entrance. The offer of admission requires a
response. If the applicant wishes to accept, decline or change the effective date of the offer,
the Graduate School must be notified or the offer of admission becomes void. Failure to
register for the authorized term also voids the offer of admission. If the offer is voided, the
applicant must submit another appUcation and may be required to submit additional credentials
in order to be considered for admission in a subsequent semester.
Graduate students must consult their academic department for precise registration
information.
Change of Status or Program
Students are admitted only to specified programs for specified objectives. New applications
are required under the following conditions:
1 . If the student wishes to change programs (students may be admitted to only one
graduate program at any one time); or
2. If the student wishes to change status (from nondegree to degree); or
3. If the student wishes to pursue a new degree objective (change from master's to
doctoral degree).
Admission to a new program and/or status is not granted automatically. Each application
is subject to approval.
Termination of Admission Status
A student's admission terminates when the time limits for completion of the degree or
nondegree status have been exceeded or when the student is no longer in "good standing."
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
20 Admission to Graduate School
admission of all students, both degree and nondegree, is continued at the discretion of the
major professor, the department or program director and the Dean for Graduate Studies.
The Admission Process
To be considered for admission to the University of Maryland College Park Graduate School
each applicant must obtain and complete the application form following all instructions. An
application may be obtained by writing directly to the Graduate School, Lee Building,
University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742.
Each applicant must submit the following items in order to be considered for admission:
1 . A completed application form.
2. An application fee of $40.00 dollars.
3. Two complete sets of transcripts reflecting all undergraduate and graduate work
elected or in progress. Each transcript must bear the signature of the registrar and the seal of
the granting institution and should include the years of attendance, courses taken, grades
received, class standing and the degree, certificate or diploma received. If the applicant
attended UMCP, the Graduate School will obtain your records of courses completed on the
College Park campus. To facilitate the processing and review of an application, send two sets
of unofficial copies of transcripts from institutions other than the University of
Maryland College Park Campus. Official copies of those transcripts are required before full
admission can be granted.
4. Three letters of recommendation submitted by professors or others who can assess
the quality of the applicant's academic performance and scholastic potential. Letters of
recommendation should be sent directly to the academic department in which the applicant is
interested. Be certain that the applicant's full name is included on each recommendation.
5. Each applicant must prepare a 300-500 word statement of her/his goals and
objectives in pursuing graduate study.
6. Standardized Test Scores. Many departments and programs require applicants
to submit scores of standardized examinations, such as the Graduate Record Examination
(GRE), the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or the Miller Analogies Test
(MAT). To determine if one of these examinations is required for admission to the department
or program to which you are applying, please consult the listing at the end of the brochure.
If standardized test scores are required, you may write to the following addresses for
further information:
Graduate Record Examinations
CN 6004 Educational Testing Services
Princeton, NJ 08541-6004 USA
Graduate Management Admissions Test
Box 966
Princeton, NJ 08541 USA
Admission to Graduate School 21
Miller Analogy Test
Psychological Corporation
7500 Old Oak Blvd.
Cleveland, OH 44130 USA
Examination scores should be sent directly to the department or program to which you are
applying.
7. Departmental Requirements. Some departments and programs require additional
information such as a portfolio or other supplementary materials. It is important that
applicants contact the department or program to which they are applying for information
concerning additional admission requirements. Failure to do so may result in an application
not being considered.
Calculation of Grade Point Average for Applicants
All applicants must calculate separate grade point averages for the following categories: (1)
all courses taken for the baccalaureate; (2) all credits earned after the first 60 credits for the
baccalaureate; (3) credits that constitute the undergraduate major; and (4) all credits taken
beyond the bachelor's degree. All grades are to be converted to a four-point grading system.
Pass/fail, satisfactory, completed credit and similar grades are not included in these
calculations. Except as already noted, all numerical, alphabetical or equivalent grades must
be calculated as follows:
a. Multiply quarter credit hours by (.66) to convert to semester credit hours.
b. Multiply the number of semester credit hours for each course by the number of
quality or honor points earned, as follows: A=4; B=3; C=2; D=l; F=0.
c. Divide the total number of quality points by the total number of semester credit
hours. The quotient will be your grade point average.
Admission of Faculty
No member of the faculty who is employed by the University of Maryland at College Park
and has the rank of assistant professor or above is permitted to enroll in a program leading to
an advanced degree in his/her academic college or school. A faculty member who wishes to
take coursework for personal enrichment in his/her academic college or school may choose
to investigate the Advanced Special Student status. A faculty member who wishes to pursue
an advanced degree in a department or program outside of his/her academic college or school
may do so by obtaining written permission from the Dean for Graduate Studies and Research,
subsequent to obtaining written consent from the Deans from both the academic college/school
in which he/she is employed and from which he/she seeks a degree.
Application Deadlines
Applicants should pay special attention to the deadlines listed in each application booklet.
It is generally to the applicant's advantage to apply well before the published deadline,
particularly if the applicant wishes to be considered for fellowships, assistantships or other
forms of financial aid. The Graduate School recommends that applicants time the submission

Classes for that semester.
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.
Please be advised that all students who were originally classified as out-of-state students when
they began their studies at the University of Maryland (College Park) retain that classification
unless they file a petition for in-state status with the campus residency classification office.
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 want assistance
with their classification should contact: Office of Residency Classification, Room 0405B Marie
Mount Hall, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742-5121.
Fees and Expenses 25
Payment of Fees (See Schedule of Classes for detailed informalion)
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 1 103, Lee Building, 8:30-4:15,
Monday through Friday.
The University of Maryland offers deferred payment plans effective Fall 1991. For
information on the tuition plan, call 1-800-343-0911. Please Note: Payments for student
accounts may be made by Visa or Mastercard. Credit card payments may be made in person
or by mail. Phone-in payments can be accepted be calling 403-4641.
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 ser\ices were severed and all services except housing will be restored. A
5 percent Late Payment Fee and a $25.00 Severance of Service Fee will be assessed if
payment due dates are not followed.
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. The minimum Collection Fee is 15
percent plus any attorney and/or court costs.
Refund of Fees
A Cancellation of Registration submitted to the Registrations Office before the official first
day of classes entitles the student to a full credit or refund of semester tuition and fees.
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, or failure to attend classes does not constitute withdrawal.
A student must file a request for a refund with the Office of the Bursar or any credit on the
student account will automaticallv be carried over to the next semester.
Students withdrawing from the University will be credited for tuition in accordance with the
following schedule:
26 Fellowships, Assistantships and Financial Assistance
Period from date Refundable tuition only

University Refund Statement
Tuition, refundable fees and refundable deposits are authorized for refund only if the student
completes the prescribed withdrawal procedures or is dismissed from the University.
Residence Hall and Dining Services charges are authorized for refund only if the student
completes the prescribed residence hall and dining services contract release procedures. Please
refer to current Schedule of Classes for complete refund information and procedures.
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. Seventy
percent of all full-time graduate students receive financial support, which may include
remission of tuition fees, teaching and research assistantships, work-study support, 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 degree 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 application
for departmental financial support, have been submitted. Some awards are made on the basis
of the applicant' s academic merit, others on the basis of need.
There are three campus units that 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 Other Race Grants (application deadlines: early
November and May). The Graduate School also has a Fellowship Information Office that lists
fellowship opportunities from government agencies, foundations and industry.
The individual programs and departments award graduate teaching and research assistantships
(priority application deadline: March 1) and nominate students for tuition scholarships and
Graduate School Fellowships (to be considered for nomination, apply by February 1).
Fellowships, Assistantships and Financial Assistance 27
The Office of Student Financial Aid (OSFA) awards College Work-Study, Perkins Loans,
Graduate Grants, Stafford Loans, and PLUS/SLS Loans. To apply for aid, you must file a
Financial Aid Form (FAF), which requires four to six weeks to be processed by the College
Scholarship Service (CSS). You must also submit Financial Aid Transcripts from all
previously attended post-secondary institutions, regardless of whether or not you received
financial aid, and provide any additional documentation that is requested by OSFA. Stafford
and PLUS/SLS Loans are available throughout the year. To be considered for College Work-
Study, Perkins Loans, and Graduate Grants in addition to Stafford and PLUS/SLS Loans, you
must meet OSFA's priority application deadline of February 15th preceding the fall semester
for which you are applying for aid. To meet the priority deadline, you must submit the
upcoming year's FAF to CSS within the first two weeks of January so that the processed FAF
is received by OSFA by February 15th. FAF's received after February 15th will be considered
on a funds-available basis. In order to be eligible for aid, you must be enrolled at least half-
time. For additional information on financial assistance administered by OSFA, please call
(301) 314-8313 to request a copy of the Financial Facts handbook. 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.
Fellowships are awarded only to students admitted to a degree program at UMCP who are
willing to devote full-time to their study. All fellowship applicants must be admitted to a
degree program in the Graduate School on a full-time basis to be eligible. Departments
nominate students for the various fellowships; students should try to submit all material for
admission by February 1 since the Fellowship competition for new students is held in February
and March.
Graduate School Fellowships and Grants - The Graduate School awards over 300
fellowships to students with outstanding academic records. These fellowships are awarded
annually on a competitive basis. Students cannot apply directly for the award; rather they
must be nominated by the department in which they intend to enroll. The minimum stipend
for the 1991-92 academic year was $9,200; fellows also receive remission of tuition for up to
12 credits per semester in the academic year.
The standard application for departmental financial support will serve to alert your
department to your desire for a fellowship. Submit the form directly to the department in
which you are seeking admission. Awards are based solely on academic merit. Fellowships
may be awarded to any qualified in-state, out-of-state, or international student.
Minority Awards - Of the 350 Graduate School Fellowships awarded, approximately 75
were awarded to Black Graduate Students and 10 were awarded to Hispanic/Latinos and
Native American Indians. In addition, approximately 50 Black graduate students and 10 other
underrepresented minorities are supported on full grants from the Graduate School with 10
credits remission of tuition and a stipend of $9,200 for the academic year.
Multi-year support is offered to approximately 90% of Black graduate students and to
approximately 75% of other underrepresented minorities who enroll full-time in a master's or
doctoral program. For all awards, students must be nominated by their departments.
28 Fellowships, Assistantships and Financial Assistance
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 devote full-time to their study;
4. Be able to demonstrate special merit or need.
The individual educational grants vary, and have ranged from $500 - $8,500. Tuition is also
remitted for up to 10 credits per semester. Students may apply for reappointment on a yearly
basis for up to three years. Additional details and application materials are available from the
Fellowship Office of the Graduate School.
Other Fellowships - The University of Maryland at College Park has several government
and privately funded and endowed fellowships which are handled independently through the
departments and colleges. Our graduate students are supported on Department of Defense
Rotorcraft Fellowships, Ford Foundation Fellowships, Jacob Javits Fellowships, Patricia
Roberts Harris Fellowships, National Needs Fellowships, National Science Foundation
Fellowships, IBM Fellowships, Martin Marietta Fellowships, Woodrow Wilson Minority
Access Fellowships, to name just a few. In addition, there are joint fellowship programs
between several departments and some of the federal agencies, such as the National Institutes
of Health, NASA, and the National Institute of Science and Technology.
Some of these fellowships are won independently by students in national competition; others
are awarded directly to the colleges or departments, which then select student recipients.
Students submitting applications for admission to graduate programs will be considered for
such awards as appropriate; no additional application forms are required. Some special
campus-wide awards are made by the Graduate Council Committee on Fellowships. The Phi
Delta Gamma, Sigma Chapter, Graduate Fellowship Award, is given annually as a supplement
to a Graduate School Fellowship. The recipient is selected by the Graduate Council
Committee on Fellowships from among the students already enrolled in a graduate degree
program at UMCP who are nominated for a fellowship for continuing students. The award
is given to the student who best exemplifies the spirit of interdisciplinary focus in research
and/or who is a graduate member of Phi Delta Gamma. The award is granted for unrestricted
support for education expenses.
Graduate School Tuition Scholarships
First-time graduate students in degree programs who are residents of the state of Maryland
and have an undergraduate GPA of 3.75 or better from an accredited American college or
university may ask their departments to nominate them for a Graduate Tuition Scholarship.
Fellowships, Assistantships and Financial Assistance 29
Students who believe they qualify for the scholarship should mark the appropriate space on
the departmentally administered financial aid form. Departments may have additional criteria,
e.g., full-time status, for nomination of students in their program. Tuition scholarships are
awarded on a first-come, first-served basis for as long as funds are available.
Assistantships
Offers of assistantships, which are made by the individual departments, are contingent upon
the applicant's acceptance as a graduate student in a degree program by the Graduate School.
Departments may set additional criteria. In addition to remission of tuition of ten credits per
semester, assistantships carry 9.5 or 12-month stipends ranging from $9,200 to $12,360 as of
the 1990-91 academic year.
Graduate assistants pay tuition at the in-state rate only for those semesters when they hold
a graduate assistant position on campus. Once the assistantship ends, the student will be
charged tuition at the out-of-state rate unless a petition is filed for in-state status (see
Determination of In-State Status for Tuition).
Graduate Teaching Assistantships are available to qualified graduate students in many
departments and programs. Applications for assistantships should be made directly to the
department in which the applicant will study.
Graduate Research Assistantships, with comparable stipends, are available in some
departments on a 10 or 12-month basis. For information, contact the individual department
or program.
Resident Graduate Assistantships are also available in limited numbers. These
assistantships include a 12 month stipend and tuition remission in exchange for part-time work
in undergraduate residence halls as Residence Halls staff members. These Resident
Assistantships are open to both men and women. Applications for a Resident Graduate
Assistantship should be made to the Office of Human Resources, Department of Resident Life,
Cumberland Hall, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742.
Administrative Assistantships - Many offices on campus currently offer graduate assistant
positions. For further information, contact the Fellowships Office, the individual office or
department or check employment announcements outside the Personnel Office in the Lee
Building.
Work-Study Program
The College Work-Study Program, administered by the Office of Student Financial Aid
(OSFA), offers part-time employment opportunities for students who meet OSFA's priority
deadline and demonstrate financial need. Students who are awarded and who accept College
Work-Study are sent Work Authorization Forms stating the amount they may earn during the
academic year. Job openings are listed at the Job Referral Service (JRS), Room 3120
Hombake Building, South Wing. Students are responsible for visiting the JRS to review job
listings and for arranging interviews with those departments for whom they are interested in
working. Once hired, they must submit a Work Authorization Form to the hiring department.
30 Fellowships, Assistantships and Financial Assistance
The student and job supervisor must both agree on the student's work schedule, which must
not conflict with the student's class schedule. Contact the JRS at (301) 314-8324 for more
information on the College Work-Study Program.
Loans and Part-Time Employment
Perkins Loan. The Perkins Loan (formerly known as the National Direct Student Loan) is
a low-interest (5%) loan awarded to students who meet OSFA's priority deadline and
demonstrate financial need. The student borrows the money directly from the university and
must begin repayment nine months after graduating, withdrawing, or dropping below half-time
attendance. The student is not responsible for paying the interest accrued on the loan while
attending school.
Graduate Grants. These grants are awarded by OSFA to applicants who meet the priority
deadline and demonstrate financial need. Academic merit or achievement are not criteria for
receiving this award.
Stafford Loan. The Stafford Loan (formerly the Guaranteed Student Loan) is a low interest,
need-based loan. You must file a Financial Aid Form to apply for the Stafford Loan.
Depending on individual eligibility, graduate students may borrow up to $7,500 per year, with
a cumulative maximum amount of $54,750 including all Stafford Loans borrowed at the
undergraduate level. The interest rate for students borrowing their first Stafford Loan after
July 1, 1988 is 8% for the first four years of repayment, and 10% thereafter through the tenth
and final year of repayment. Students who previously borrowed a Stafford at 7% or 9% will
continue to borrow at that interest rate for all subsequent Stafford Loans. The borrower is not
responsible for paying the interest accrued on the loan while attending school. The borrower
must begin repayment six months after graduating, withdrawing, or dropping below half-time
attendance.
If the student is eligible for the Stafford Loan, instructions for completion of the loan
application and promissory note will accompany the award letter. Do not submit a Stafford
Loan application to OSFA until you receive an award letter.
PLUS Loan/Supplemental Loan for Students (SLS). If a student is ineligible for a
Stafford Loan, or if the financial assistance that the student does receive is inadequate, another
loan program that may be considered is the PLUS/SLS Loan. The PLUS is borrowed by
parents for a dependent student, and the SLS is borrowed by students who are considered
independent. The PLUS Loan is not need-based; therefore, the FAF need not be filed to apply
for it. However, for independent students to borrow an SLS, either they must have already
been determined to be ineligible for the Stafford Loan, or they must have already borrowed
the maximum Stafford for which they are eligible that year. The interest rate is variable, is
reset each July 1st, and has a maximum of 12%. The borrower, whether student or parent,
is responsible for paying the interest accrued during school attendance. Repayment usually
begins within 60 days of receipt of the first disbursement of the loan, though some lenders
allow deferral of principal and/or interest while attending at least half-time. The Plus/SLS
application may be obtained from OSFA.
Registration and Credits 31
Job Referral Service. The Job Referral Service (JRS) maintains listings of part-lime,
temporary, and summer employment, both on- and off-campus. To use this service, you need
only be a registered student at UMCP of UMUC - you do not need to have been awarded
College Work-Study. JRS is located in Room 3120, Hombake Building, South Wing.
Veterans' Benefits. Students who attend the university with assistance from the Veterans'
Education Assistance Program may receive enrollment certification from the Veterans'
Certification Office in Room 1118, Mitchell Building, (301) 314-8237.
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 obtain the Summer Session
Schedule of Classes, from the Office of Summer Sessions, Reckord Armory, 405-6551.
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 that
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 adviser 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 that supplement those of the Graduate School.
The student will consult the Schedule of Classes and will develop an individual program of
study and research in consultation with a graduate faculty adviser.
Students admitted to Advanced Special Status may seek advice from the Office of the Dean
for Graduate Studies and Research or from appropriate faculty members.
The Associate Dean for Graduate Student Affairs is the individual to whom requests or
petitions for exceptions or waivers of regulations or graduate degree requirements should be
addressed and to whom appeals of decisions of departmental or program faculty or
administrators should be directed.
32 Registration and Credits
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 the courses that
are repeatable for credit.
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.
Registration and Credits 33
To be certified as full-time, 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. Audited courses do not generate graduate units and cannot be used in calculating
full-time or part-time 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 or housing, consulting with faculty advisers,
taking comprehensive or final oral examinations, or filing a diploma application, must register
for the number of graduate units that will, in the faculty adviser's judgment, 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, except
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 be expected to register for the number of units that reflects their use of University
resources.
Continuous Registration
Doctoral candidates who have completed the required minimum of credit hours of
Dissertation Research (899) and are making no use of University resources must meet a
Continuous Registration requirement during 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 directly to the Graduate School either
in person or by mail. 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, Lee Building, University of Maryland, College Park,
MD 20742-5121.
Failure to comply with the requirement of 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 who wishes to resume
a graduate program but whose admission has been terminated under this regulation.
34 Registration and Credits
Partial Credit Course Registration for Handicapped Students
The Graduate School recognizes that students with documented physical handicaps may
derive considerable educational benefit from courses that include laboratories or other non-
classroom activities in which the student is prevented from participating because of the
handicap. Therefore, it is the Graduate School's policy 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.
Physically handicapped graduate students who wish 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 of Maryland is
eligible to take courses on any other campus of the University of Maryland with the approval
of the academic adviser and the graduate deans on the home and host campuses. Credits
earned on a host campus are considered resident credit at the home campus and may meet all
degree requirements with adviser approval. Transcripts of courses 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 at College Park is a member of the Consortium of Universities
of the Washington Metropolitan Area. Other institutions currently associated with the
consortium include American University, The Catholic University of America, the University
of the District of Columbia, Gallaudet College, George Mason University, Georgetown
University, George Washington University, Howard University, Marymount 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 and grades are calculated into the student's GPA. The consortium permits
both undergraduate and graduate students to participate in programs such as the Research
Fellows Program and the National Institute for Citizen Education in the Law. The policies
governing registration through the Consortium Arrangement are listed below.
UMCP Graduate Students
1. UMCP degree-seeking graduate students may take courses at other consortium
schools, which are 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.
Registration and Credits 35
2. No more than 25 percent of the course credits required lor 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 or 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.
Visiting Students
1 . Students from other consortium schools may register for UMCP 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 admission will be
permitted to register for graduate courses in that program only with the specific
approval of the Director of Graduate Studies of the 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 UMCP who is within seven credit hours of completing the
requirements for an undergraduate degree may register for courses with the approval of the
undergraduate dean, the department or program offering the course and the Graduate School.
Normally, a 3.0 grade point average for all courses is required for students seeking to exercise
36 Registration and Credits
this option. Courses elected through this program may later be counted for graduate credit
toward an advanced degree at the University if the student is offered 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 can receive
information about the procedure from the Graduate School, Office of the Associate Dean for
Student Affairs, 2125 Lee Building.
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 who seeks to use this option will normally be in the senior year, have earned an
accumulated grade point average of 3.0, have successfully completed the prerequisite and
correlative courses with a grade of "B" or better, and be a major in the appropriate or a closely
related department. The student will be required to obtain prior approval from 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.
Combined Bachelor's/Master's Programs
A combined bachelor's/master's program may be developed for the individual student. A
combined degree program should be an integrated learning experience for the student, not
simply the completion of a required number of undergraduate and graduate credits. It is
available only to students whose academic performance is exceptional, i.e., a stipulated grade
point average and faculty evaluations and recommendations. The program must be approved
by the undergraduate dean, the department or program offering the undergraduate major, the
department or program offering the graduate program and the Graduate School. Normally, no
more than nine credits of courses taken at the advanced level (600-level courses and above)
may be applied to both degree programs. No more than one master's degree may be earned
through a combined bachelor's/master's degree program. See your undergraduate adviser for
more details.
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. In the judgment of the
Graduate Council, credit by examination is not generally available for courses at the 600, 700,
or 800 levels because courses at these levels require a continuing interaction between faculty
and students to achieve the educational goals of advanced study.
Registration and Credits 37
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 that may be earned in this manner. Graduate
students seeking credit by examination must obtain the consent of their adviser 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. Due to academic and procedural
differences between foreign and U.S. regionally accredited institutions, credit from foreign
universities is not acceptable for transfer. There is no need for transfer of credit at the
doctoral level. All graduate study credits offered as transfer credit must meet the following
criteria:
1. They must have received graduate credit for courses taken at the other institution.
2. They must not have been used to meet the requirements for any degree previously
earned.
3. They must have been elected within the time limit framework of the student's
program here and no more than five years old at the time of transfer.
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, and have a "B" or better average on all the graduate coursework taken at
the institution from which the transfer is requested.
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. It should be noted that graduate departments and
programs may impose more stringent requirements and time limitations concerning the transfer
of credits. In such cases the Graduate School must be notified accordingly.
38 Registration and Credits
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: one contact hour per 50 minutes lecture.
b. Non-lecture contact (laboratory, workshops, discussion and problem- working
sessions, etc.): one contact hour per two or three-hour session.
2. No more than three "contact hours" per day will be permitted. (Three "contact
hours" are equivalent to 0.2 credits).
3. Credit may be accumulated at the rate of no more than one credit per week.
Statement on UMCP Policy on Non-participation by Students in Class Exercises that
Involve Animals
Students who are concerned about the use of animals in teaching have the responsibility to
contact the instructor prior to course enrollment to determine if animals are to be used in the
course, whether class exercises involving animals are optional or required and what
alternatives, if any, are available. If no alternatives are available, the refusal to participate in
required activities involving animals may result in a failing grade in the course.
The University of Maryland at College Park affirms the right of the faculty to determine
course content and curriculum requirements. The University, however, also encourages faculty
to consider offering alternatives to the use of animals in their courses. In each course, the
instructor determines whether the use of animals in the classroom exercises will be a course
requirement or optional activity. The following departments currently have courses that may
require animals to be used in class activities: Animal Sciences, Human Nutrition and Food
Science, Microbiology, Poultry Science, Psychology, Veterinary Medicine and Zoology. For
UMCP's policy statement on animal use and care, see the catalog's Appendices section.
Course and Credit Changes
A graduate student may 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 Schedule Adjustment
A graduate student may transact the following schedule adjustments through the tenth week
of classes in a term by submitting a Schedule Adjustment Form to the Registrations Office,
Registration and Credits 39
Mitchell Building: add a course; drop a course; change grading option; and change credit
level. There is no refund of tuition and fees for drops processed after the fifth class day (see
Schedule of Classes for further details).
After the tenth day of classes, all graduate students are required to obtain Departmental and
instructor authorization to be stamped or written on the add slip. Approved requests must be
promptly delivered to the Registrar's Office, Mitchell Building.
Procedures for Late Registration
Students registering after the established registration period may need an appointment to
register. Call the Office of Registrations and Records for information. For current registration
procedures consult the Schedule of Classes. Students who register after the established
registration period (i.e., beginning with the schedule adjustment period) will be assessed a
$20.00 late registration fee.
Procedures for Credit Level Change and Change of Grading Option
Students who wish 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 authorization is required until the end of the tenth week. No credit level changes
or grading options are permitted after the tenth week of classes.
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 Registrar's Office, Mitchell Building.
Procedures for Withdrawal from Classes
The term withdrawal means termination of enrollment for a given term. The date of the
withdrawal is indicated on a graduate student's academic record. To withdraw from a term
on or before the last day of classes a graduate student must notify the Records Office, 1101
Mitchell Building, in writing or in person. Withdrawal becomes effective on the date
notification is received in the Records Office. Additional information concerning withdrawal
from classes can be found in the Schedule of Classes.
If the time limits in a master's or pre-candidate doctoral student's program have not lapsed
(5 years to obtain a master's degree and 5 years to reach doctoral candidacy), a graduate
student is eligible to enroll without readmission. In such cases the student should contact the
department about registration dates and procedures. Doctoral candidates typically do not
withdraw. If a candidate believes he/she must withdraw, he/she must contact the Office of the
Associate Dean for Student Affairs.
40 Registration and Credits
Resignation From the University
A graduate student wishing to resign from the University (i.e., terminate his/her association
with the University) may do so by submitting a letter to the Graduate School indicating the
reasons for the resignation. The Graduate School will cancel the student's admitted status.
If the student is registered for classes at the time of his/her resignation, the Office of Records
and Registrations will be requested to withdraw the student effective the date of the
resignation.
A graduate student seeking to return to the University of Maryland must reapply for
admission and is subject to all departmental and Graduate School requirements. He or she
may be required to repeat previously elected courses.
Procedure for Cancelling Registration for a Term
To cancel a registration after the stated deadlines for a given term, a graduate student must
provide a written explanation, which has been endorsed by the graduate director of his or her
program to the Associate Dean 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 for all graduate level courses taken is required in
order to be in good academic standing and 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.
Academic Discipline Policy
Each graduate student is required to maintain a 3.0 grade point average for all graduate
courses elected toward the degree program in which he or she is enrolled.
A student whose cumulative grade point average falls below a "B" (3.0) upon or after the
completion of nine credit hours of graduate level courses will be automatically placed on
academic probation by the Graduate School for the following full semester.
A student whose cumulative grade point average falls below a "B" (3.0) for a second and
successive semester of enrollment for courses may, upon the recommendation of her or his
graduate chair and with the consent of the Graduate School, be granted a final opportunity to
correct the scholastic and/or academic deficiency in the next semester of enrollment for
courses.
A student whose cumulative grade point average falls below a "B" (3.0) average for three
consecutive semesters of enrollment will not be permitted to re-enroll and will be required to
withdraw from the University.
Registration and Credits 41
Both the graduate student and the Graduate Director of each department or program will be
notified whenever a graduate student is placed on academic probation. If a graduate student
is placed on probation for a second consecutive semester, both the graduate student and the
student's Graduate Director will be informed that the student may not continue beyond that
semester unless the academic department or program presents compelling reasons for
continuance. The request for continuance must be approved by the Graduate School.
In addition to the minimum grade point average requirements, graduate departments and
programs may require graduate students to maintain certain performance minima in their
programs of study, and in all or in particular courses. A student who fails to make satisfactory
progress in meeting some or all programmatic requirements, or who fails to demonstrate the
ability to succeed in his or her course of studies or research, may be required to withdraw
from the University. Determinations concerning such matters occur at the departmental level.
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 for certain types of graduate
study at the discretion of the department or program. 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, a
Department or program may, in certain cases, allow a graduate student to use the Pass-Fail
option for any 100-300 level courses that a student takes. Graduate credit may not be earned
for these courses. The mark of P is equivalent to A,B,C, or D. Either the A-F or the S-F
grading system may be used in courses labeled "Independent Study" or "Special Problems."
Thesis and dissertation research (799, 899) may be graded A-F and/or S-F.
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.
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 that are 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. Whether higher or
lower, the latter grade 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 that an actual mistake was made in determining or recording
the grade. The change must be approved by the department chair and the Dean for Graduate
Studies and Research.
42 Degree Requirements
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 cannot be
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 that is approved by the student's adviser and graduate director and meets
Graduate School requirements. A minimum of thirty semester hours in courses acceptable for
credit towards a graduate degree is required (some degree programs require more than 30
credits); in certain cases, six of the 30 semester hours must be thesis research credits. The
graduate program must include at least 1 2 hours of coursework 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" (3.0) in 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.
Additional Requirements
In addition to the above requirements, special departmental or collegiate requirements may
be imposed, especially for degrees that 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 that can be obtained from the
department or college.
Degree Requirements 43
Graduate School Requirements for the Degrees of Master of Arts and Master of Science
Thesis Option
Research Assurances
At the University of Maryland at College Park, all research, including thesis and dissertation
research, must be conducted in accordance with federal guidelines for the use of animals, the
use of human subjects and the use of materials that may pose biological or chemical hazards.
All animal use protocols must be approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee. Research
involving human subjects must be approved by the departmental human subjects review board
and/or the Institutional Review Board. Any research involving hazardous materials, either
biological or chemical, or recombinant RNA/DNA research must have approval from the
campus Department of Environmental Safety.
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 number 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 adviser.
The adviser 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 Theses Manual,
which may be obtained from Room 2117, Lee 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 adviser, 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, composed of 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.
44 Degree Requirements
Members of the committee must be given a minimum of seven working 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 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 Advisers and Students" if the student is to
receive a diploma at the Commencement ceremony for 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 coursework 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 that offer the non-thesis option, see the list of Graduate
programs in the Catalog.
Requirements for the Degree of Master of Education

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 1 2 research credits, but the number of research and other credit hours required
in the program varies with the degree and program in question.
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 fail 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
46 Degree Requirements
of Maryland. Directions for the preparation and submission of dissertations will be found in
the Theses ManuaL which may be obtained from the Graduate School Records Office.
Additional Requirements
In addition to the above requirements, special departmental or collegiate requirements may
be imposed, especially for those degrees that are offered in only one department or college.
For these special requirements, consult the descriptions that appear under the departmental or
collegiate listing in this catalog or the special publications that 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.
Foreign Language Requirement
A number of departments have a foreign language requirement for the Doctor of Philosophy
degree. The student should inquire in the department about 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 stipulating 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 Ph.D. 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.
Constitution of Dissertation Committee
1 . A dissertation committee must consist of a minimum of five members, at least
three of whom must be regular members of the University of Maryland at College Park
Degree Requirements 47
Graduate Faculty. Additional committee members may be required or invited to serve at
departmental discretion.
2. Each dissertation committee will have a chairperson, who must be a regular
member of the Graduate Faculty. Dissertation committees may be co-chaired upon written
recommendation of the department graduate director or chair and the approval of the Dean of
Graduate Studies and Research.
3. Each committee shall have appointed to it a representative of the Dean for
Graduate Studies and Research. This person, who is recommended by the student's home
department, must be a regular member of the Graduate Faculty at the University of Maryland
at College Park and must be from a department other than the student's home department.
In cases where a student is in an interdisciplinary department or program, the Dean's
Representative must be from a program outside the departments and programs involved h te
interdisciplinary endeavors.
4. Individuals from outside the University system may serve on dissertation
committees provided that their credentials warrant this service and upon the written request
of and justification by the department involved, including the individual's curriculum vitae.
However, these individuals must be in addition to the minimum required number of regular
members of the College Park Graduate Faculty.
5. Emeriti and retired professors may serve on dissertation committees provided they
are members of the Graduate Faculty.
6. Graduate Faculty who terminate employment at UMCP may be regarded for
dissertation committee service purposes as members of the Graduate Faculty for a 1 2-month
period following their termination. During that time they may chair individual dissertations
and theses and work with students as necessary. After that time, they may no longer serve
as chairs of dissertations, although they may be placed in the status of co-chair. After they
leave UMCP, faculty may not serve as Dean's Representative.
The Dissertation Committee and the Conduct of the Dissertation Defense
Each doctoral candidate is required to orally defend his or her doctoral dissertation as a
requirement in partial fulfillment of the doctoral degree. 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 upon the advice of the candidate's dissertation adviser and
department graduate director. Oral defenses must be attended by all members of the officially
established doctoral examining committee as approved by the Dean for Graduate Studies and
Research. Should a last- minute change in the constitution of the committee be required, the
change must be sanctioned by the Dean for Graduate Studies and Research in consultation
with the graduate director of the student's home department and the student's dissertation
chair.
Notice of doctoral defenses must be published in the student' s home department at least five
days before the scheduled event. The members of the examining committee should normally
receive the dissertation at least two weeks before the scheduled defense. All doctoral defenses
48 Degree Requirements
must be open to UMCP Graduate Faculty and any other interested parties whom the chair of
the dissertation committee, in consultation with the Graduate Director of the department,
believe to be appropriate. Departments may wish to routinely open dissertation defenses to
a broader audience. In such cases, departmental policies must be established, recorded and
made available to all doctoral students. Oral defenses of dissertations must be held in
University facilities that are readily accessible to all members of the committee and others
attending the defense.
Two or more negative votes constitute a failure of the candidate to meet the dissertation
requirement. In cases of failure, it is required that the examining committee specify in detail
and in writing to the department graduate director, the Dean for Graduate Studies and
Research and the student the exact nature of the deficiencies in the dissertation and/or the oral
performance that led to failure. A second defense is permitted, which results in termination
of the student' s admitted status if it is failed.
Inclusion of Previously Published Materials in a Thesis or Dissertation
1 . A graduate student may, upon the recommendation of the dissertation director, and
with the endorsement of home department graduate directors or chairs, include his or her own
published works as part of the final dissertation. Appropriate citations within the dissertation
including where the work was previously published are required. All such materials must be
produced in standard dissertation format.
2. It is recognized that a graduate student may co-author work with faculty and
colleagues that should be included in a dissertation. In such an event, a letter should be sent
to the Dean of Graduate Studies and Research certifying that the student's examining
committee has determined that the student made a substantial contribution to that work. This
letter should also note that inclusion of the work has the approval of the dissertation adviser
and the department chair or graduate director. The format of such inclusions must conform
to be standard dissertation format. A forward to the dissertation, as approved by the
Dissertation Committee, must state that the student made the substantial contributions to the
relevant aspects of the jointly authored work included in the dissertation.
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. requires
a minimum of six 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 degree of Doctor of Musical Arts are given under the
corresponding program description. For more specific information, contact the Department
of Music, (301)405-5560.
Degree Requirements 49
Time Extensions Governing Degrees
Students who fail to complete all requirements by the prescribed deadlines may petition their
departments in order to seek up to a one-year extension of time in which to complete the
outstanding requirements. This extension may be granted by the department, which must then
notify the Graduate School in writing of its decision. The Graduate School will confirm this
decision in writing to the student and adjust the computer database accordingly. Students who
fail to complete all requirements for the degree following the granting of a time extension by
the department must seek any additional extension by petitioning the department. If the
department supports the request, it must forward the request to the Graduate School for review.
In such cases, the Administrator of Graduate Admissions and Records evaluates the request
in light of the written explanation provided and may grant up to one additional year's
extension. The Graduate School decision will be communicated in writing to each petitioner
and a copy will be sent to the student's home department.
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 that warrant individual consideration. Therefore, if a
graduate student believes 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,
Lee Building, explaining the facts and issues that 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.
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 Advisers and Students." Failure to meet
specific deadlines may result in a delay of one or more semesters before graduation.
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 UMCP 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
Faculty and students at the University of Maryland enjoy the best of all possible worlds.
Situated on 1.300 acres in Prince George's County, College Park is 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 outstanding collections and special
exhibits that attract national attention. In addition to cultural activities, the nation's capital
provides interested students the opportunity to observe 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 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 exchange of ideas, information, technical skills and scholars between the
University and these centers. The libraries and facilities of many of these centers are open
to qualified graduate students. The resources of many more are available by special
arrangement.
In the humanities, the Library of Congress and the Folger Shakespeare Librar>'. with its
extensive collection of rare manuscripts, are among the world's most outstanding research
libraries. In addition. Dumbarton Oaks; the National Archives; the Smithsonian Institution;
the World Bank; the National Librar)' of Medicine; the National Agricultural Library; the
Enoch Pratt Free Library of Baltimore; the libraries of the Federal Departments of Labor;
Commerce; Interior; Health and Human Services; Housing and Urban Development;
Transportation and approximately 500 other specialized libraries are all within a few minutes
drive of the College Park campus. The campus will soon be the site for Archives II. the
largest archives in the world with the most complete set of records and documents about this
nation's history. The facility is scheduled to be open in 1993. These resources make the
University of Maryland at College Park one of the most attractive in the nation for scholars
of all disciplines.
Resources 51
The proximity of the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center of the United States Department
of Agriculture has stimulated the development of both laboratories and opportunities for field
research in the agricultural and life sciences. The National Institutes of Health offer
unparalleled opportunities for collaboration in biomedical and behavior research. Opportunities
are also available for collaborative graduate study programs with other major government
laboratories, such as the National Institute of Science and Technology, the Naval Research
Laboratory, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the Goddard Space Flight Center. The long-
standing involvement of the state of Maryland in the development of the commercial and
recreational resources of the Chesapeake Bay has resulted in the establishment of outstanding
research facilities for the study of marine science at the University of Maryland Center for
Environmental and Estuarine Studies, with research facilities at Horn Point near Cambridge,
at Crisfield and at Solomons Island, Maryland.
Campus facilities are also excellent for research in every discipline. Work in the behavioral
sciences, particularly in learning, is centered in laboratories equipped for fully automated
research on rats, pigeons and monkeys.
Exceptional research facilities in the physical sciences include two small Van de Graaff
accelerators; an assortment of computers, including a pDp 11/45, a UNIVAC 1108 and a
UNIVAC 1 100/41; a 250 KW training nuclear reactor,; a full-scale low velocity wind tunnel;
several small hypersonic helium wind tunnels; specialized facilities in the Institute for Physical
Science and Technology; a psychopharmacology laboratory; shock tubes; a quiescent plasma
device (Q-machine) and a spheromak compact fusion device for plasma research; and rotating
tanks for laboratory studies of meteorological phenomena.
Students also have access to research farms, greenhouses and even laboratory-equipped
vessels for research in the Chesapeake Bay. The University also owns and operates one of
the world's largest and most sophisticated long- wavelength radio telescopes as part of a three-
university consortium known as the Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Array (BIMA) located at Hat
Creek in Northern California.
Special Opportunities for Artists
Advanced work in the creative and performing arts at College Park is concentrated in the
Tawes Fine Arts Building and the recently completed Art-Sociology Building. Creative work
is greatly stimulated by the close interaction that has developed between the students and
faculty of the University and the artists and scholars at the National Gallery, the Corcoran
Gallery, the Hirshhom Museum, the Phillips Gallery, the Smithsonian Institution, as well as
the musicians of the National Symphony Orchestra, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and
small musical groups. The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the Filene Center
(Wolf Trap Farm Park) have further enhanced the climate for creative artists attending the
University. Outstanding work on campus in theater, dance, radio and television is aided by
the proximity of the campus to the National Theater, the Arena Stage, the Morris Mechanic
Theater and numerous little theater groups in the Washington and Baltimore area. There is
a frequent and steady exchange of ideas and talent between students and faculty at the
University with educational and commercial radio and television media, as a consequence of
the large professional staffs that are maintained in the Washington area.

Libraries
The Libraries on the College Park campus contain over 2.1 million volumes, and they
subscribe to more than 22,000 periodicals and newspapers. Additional collections of research
materials are available on microfilm, microfiche, phonograph records, tapes, films, and in
electronic formats.
The Theodore R. McKeldin Library is the largest library on campus and the principal library
for graduate use in the humanities, social sciences and life sciences. Special collections
include those of Thomas I. Cook in political science; Romeo Mansueti in the biological
sciences; Katherine Anne Porter and Djuna Barnes; materials from the Bureau of Social
Science Research; the archives of the Baltimore News-American; Maryland documents; and
the files of the Industrial Union of Marine and Shipbuilding Workers of America. The
University libraries are also a regional depository of U.S. Government publications; the
Government Documents/Maps Room in McKeldin includes these U.S. Government
publications and maps, as well as documents of the United Nations, the League of Nations and
other international organizations, and maps from the U.S. Army Map Service.
The Gordon W. Prange Collection, one of the world's largest repositories of published and
unpublished Japanese-language materials from the Allied Occupation period, is housed in
McKeldin Library and consists of Japanese newspapers, monographs, periodicals, pamphlets
and newsletters, textbooks, maps, news photographs, and political posters produced primarily
in the period 1945 to 1949, a time of Allied civil censorship controls. The materials range
from children's books and women's magazines to business, scientific and technical
publications. The collection is especially rich in fiction and poetry, including reprints and first
editions. These rare manuscript materials have attracted scholars from around the world and
have been utilized in numerous recent scholarly Japanese and Western publications of post
World War II Japan. They are complementary to the American government documents which
will soon be housed in National Archives II adjacent to the College Park campus. The East
Asia Collection, in operation since the mid 1960's, includes Japanese, Korean, and Chinese
language monographs, periodicals, and newspapers. It currently contains about 75,000
catalogued items, and is particularly strong in scholarly works on the humanities and
behavioral and social sciences and in reference and serial publications. With the exception of
the Japanese Division of the Library of Congress, this is the largest East Asian language
collection to be found in any academic institution in the tri-state region of Delaware,
Maryland, and Virginia.
Graduate students at UMCP are not served by McKeldin alone; the UMCP Libraries system
also includes six branch libraries. Although the Hombake Library's collection is primarily for
the undergraduate student, this library does offer ample study space and a 24-hour study room
during fall and spring semesters. Hombake also houses Nonprint Media Services, the central
location for audiovisual materials in the library system and the campus, and the Music Library
with books, periodicals, music scores and parts and music recordings in both music and dance.
The Music Library's special collections include items from the American Bandmasters
Association Research Center, the National Association of College Wind and Percussion
Instructors Research Center, the International Clarinet Society Research Library and the
International Piano Archives at Maryland.

engineering, mathematics and geology with other significant collections in computer science,
environmental sciences, water resources and aerospace science. EPSL is also a U.S. patent
depository and its large Technical Reports Center contains collections from NASA, ERDA,
Rand Corporation, and other agencies and organizations.
The Charles E. White Memorial Library is a collection of chemistry, biochemistry and
microbiology materials. Materials include books, periodicals, major indexes and
comprehensive spectra collections.
Architecture students are served by the Architecture Library with materials on architectural
design, theory and history, urban design, landscape architecture and building technology. This
library's special collections include rare architecture books dating as far back as the
seventeenth century, materials on world expositions from 1857 to 1937. and the collection of
the National Trust for Historic Preservation Library.
For art students, the Art Library collects materials in art history, studio art, art education,
photography, graphic arts, interior design and textiles. Special collections include art
reproductions and art exhibition catalogs.
Research is supported in the UMCP Libraries with a variety of technological tools. An
online catalog (VICTOR) identifies library materials from the collections of libraries on all
campuses in the University of Maryland system. It provides access to this information through
public terminals located throughout the library system and through network and telephone
connections using terminals in homes or offices. Research is also supported through the fee-
based CARS (Computer Assisted Reference Services) for accessing hundreds of remote
bibliographic, textual and numeric databases, as well as through the free use of over 60
automated reference tools in the libraries.
In the McKeldin, Hornbake, White Memorial, and Engineering and Physical Sciences
Libraries, library users can run their own computer searches utilizing dial-in service and CD-
ROM (Compact Disc-Read Only Memory) for database information in education, social
sciences, life sciences, business and patents. In conjunction with the Computer Science
Center, for example, McKeldin ESPL and Hornbake Libraries offer microcomputers for the
use of anyone in the UMCP community.
Research is also supported through a variety of user consultation services, including
directional assistance, basic reference help and in-depth consultations for complex information
problems. Such help may be requested at the reference desk of any of the libraries.
Borrowing library materials is aided by several services in addition to basic circulation
assistance. Direct borrowing privileges are available for registered UMCP graduate students
at the other University of Maryland campus libraries. Inter-Library loan services are available
through McKeldin Library's ILL office to obtain loans or photocopies of materials from other
libraries that are not available at UMCP.

and students and maintains relations with American Studies Associations throughout the world.
University of Maryland faculty serve on the managing editorial board of the American
Quarterly, ASA's guide to studies in United States culture, and graduate assistants serve as
the ASA's Convention Coordinator, Newsletter Editor and Institutional Research Coordinator.
Bureaus
Bureau of Business and Economic Research: Director: John H. Cumberland. The Bureau
of Business and Economic Research conducts economic research in the areas of regional and
urban development, environmental and natural resources management, and state and local
public finance, projects are funded by the University and by State and Federal Government
agencies. Research is conducted by Bureau faculty members, who hold joint appointments
with the Department of Economics, and by advanced graduate students working on degree
programs.
Bureau of Governmental Research: Director: Allen Schick. Bureau of Governmental
Research activities relate primarily to the problems of state and local government in Maryland.
The Bureau engages in research and publishes findings with reference to local, state and
national governments and their interrelationships. It undertakes surveys, sponsored programs
and grants, and offers its assistance and service to units of government in Maryland. The
Bureau furnishes opportunities for qualified students interested in research and career
development in state and local administration.
Centers and Committees
Center on Aging: Director: Laura Wilson. Established in 1974, the Center on Aging has a
university-wide mandate to promote aging-related activities. The Center's goals are to: (1)
conduct disciplinar>' and interdisciplinar>' aging-related research; (2) encourage departments,
schools and colleges to pursue aging-related research and develop gerontologically-oriented
courses; (3) provide students with educational programs, field experiences, training
opportunities and job placements that will prepare them for careers in aging-related
Resources 55
occupations; and (4) conduct training programs, sponsor conferences and provide on and off-
campus technical assistance to meet the needs of practitioners who serve older persons. In
addition, the Center sponsors a colloquium series on aging-related topics that is open to
students and the public, conducts training and conferences for community-level practitioners,
and offers the annual Institute for Gerontological Practice for persons involved in direct service
activities for the elderly. The Center coordinates the Graduate Gerontology Certificate for
students pursuing master's and doctoral degrees in regular University departments as well as

separate apartment complexes (Lord Calvert and University Hills), both within walking
distance of the campus. Three apartment types are available. Normally, efficiency units are
assigned to single and unaccompanied students, one-bedroom apartments to a married student
and spouse, and two-bedroom units are assigned to a married student and spouse with not
more than two children. Also, single parents may be assigned to two bedroom units.
To be eligible for an efficiency unit, a student must be the recipient of a teaching or research
assistantship (TA or RA), or be awarded of a qualifying scholarship, fellowship or grant as
approved by the Graduate School. Two-bedroom units are more plentiful than either one-
bedroom apartments or efficiencies and possession of a TA, RA or an approved stipend
establishes priority to obtain this type of unit. However, the assignment policy for 2-bedroom
units varies upon unit availability. Eligible married couples may be considered for a 2-
bedroom assignment after all requirements for eligible students with children are satisfied.
Assignment of all units is on a first-come, first-served basis. The waiting period for an
efficiency averages 1 2 to 18 months, a one-bedroom usually takes 6 to 9 months, and the two-
bedroom units average one month or less. Waiting periods often reflect a semester cyclic
demand; waiting time for a one-bedroom unit is often longest in late summer and immediately
after the start of the fall semester.
Students pursuing a master's degree are eligible for 24 months of residency and Ph.D.
students are allowed up to 48 months, which is also the maximum length of residency for a
combination or sequence of both degrees. Residency is normally terminated on the last day
of the month in which all the requirements for the degree are completed if the respective 24
or 48-month eligibility limit has not been reached.
The programmed monthly rental rates, effective July 1, 1991 and for the subsequent 12
months are: efficiencies, $383; large efficiencies, $407; one-bedroom units, $444; and two-
bedroom units $495. Rental rates are adjusted (historically increased) on July 1 each year.
All basic utilities (except phones) are furnished. The apartments are unfurnished with the
exception of a stove and refrigerator. All apartments are centrally heated and centrally air-
conditioned.
A $10.00 non-refundable application fee should be sent with the completed application, and
a $200.00 security/damage deposit is required upon apartment assignment. All payments to
the Graduate Apartments must be by check or money order and should be made out to The

introductory courses in plant science and soil science prior to admission for graduate studies.
A bachelor's degree in agronomy is not required for admission to the M.S. program, however
candidates for admission to the Ph.D. program should first have completed the M.S. degree
in agronomy or a related discipline.
Master's Degree Requirements
The master's program offers both a thesis and a non-thesis option. The thesis option program
requires a minimum of 30 semester hours beyond the B.S. degree. Details regarding the course
mix for the thesis option are available from the Department; at a minimum, students are
required to select 12 semester hours of course work at the 600-level or above, and must also
complete at least 12 hours of course work in Agronomy at the 400-level if not completed at
the undergraduate level. A thesis, based on the student's research, as well as the presentation
of research results to a Departmental seminar and a defense of the thesis in an oral
examination are required for the degree.
The non-thesis option is offered for students who do not intend to pursue further studies
beyond the M.S., and whose career objectives will not require skills or competence in research.
The non-thesis option requires a minimum of 30 semester hours of course work beyond the
B.S. degree, but in general non-thesis M.S. students complete more course work than that
required for the thesis option: a total of 18 semester hours at the 600-level or above, and a
minimum of 20 semester-hours of 400-level course work (taken at the undergraduate and
Agronomy Program (AGRO) 91
graduate level combined) must be completed for the degree. Non-thesis M.S. students are also
required to write two scholarly papers, to present a seminar on the contents of each, and to
pass a written and an oral comprehensive examination.
Doctoral Degree Requirements
The Ph.D. degree in agronomy requires demonstration of a high level of competence in the
discipline and the completion of original, advanced research which is presented in a
departmental seminar and as a doctoral dissertation. At a minimum, the Ph.D. student is
required to complete course work equivalent to what is normally expected of an M.S. student
in agronomy at this institution (see above) plus 12 credit-hours of dissertation research. A
total of 50-60 semester hours of course work beyond the B.S. is typically completed by Ph.D.
students in agronomy. The group of formal courses selected should form a logical and
coherent whole that will provide the student with sufficient depth in the area of specialization
to be fully competent to carry out the dissertation research planned and to work successfully
as a professional. Details regarding the specific course requirements of the Ph.D. program of
study are available from the Department, but include a mix of courses in the basic sciences,
mathematics, and agronomy (both crop and soil science).
Admission to doctoral candidacy requires that the student pass both a written and an oral
comprehensive examination. Completion of the Ph.D. degree includes successful defense of
the dissertation in addition to completion of required course work.

The interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics Program, which is affiliated with the Department
of Mathematics, offers graduate study leading to the Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy
degrees. 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 Department of Mathematics assumes the responsibility for the administration of the
applied mathematics courses under the MAPL label. The Graduate Office of the Department
also maintains the records of all students in the Applied Mathematics Program and handles
cortespondence 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.
98 Applied Mathematics Program (MAPL)
The Applied Mathematics Program trains individuals who are able to enhance their
understanding of a wide spectrum of scientific phenomena through the application of rigorous
mathematical analysis. At least half of the required work is expected to be in courses with
primarily mathematical content; the remaining courses must apply to a field outside of the
usual mathematics curriculum. Graduate students currently pursue 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. All students must include courses on numerical and scientific
computing in their programs; the faculty includes a strong group of specialists in numerical
analysis.
Admission Information
In addition to the Graduate School requirements, applicants with at least a B average (3.0
on a 4.0 scale) should have completed an undergraduate program of study that includes a
strong emphasis on rigorous mathematics, preferably through the level of advanced calculus
and abstract algebra. Admission will be based on the applicant's capability to do graduate
work in mathematics as demonstrated by the letters of recommendation, grades in coursework
and program of study. In some circumstances, a provisional admission may be given to
applicants whose mathematical training is not sufficiently advanced. Previous education in an
application area, such as physics, one of the engineering disciplines or economics, and a basic
competence in computational techniques will be favorably considered in a student's
application, although this is not a prerequisite.
When a student has decided upon an area of specialization, an advisory committee is
appointed by the Program Director. This committee is responsible for formulating with the
student a course of study that leads 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.
The Applied Mathematics Program offers certified minors in applied mathematics to graduate
students who are enrolled in other graduate degree programs at the University of Maryland.
The successful completion of the requirements for such a minor will be recorded in the
student's transcripts. A number of departments participating in the Applied Mathematics
Program also permit the requirements of the certified minor to replace part of the degree
requirements of the major department. A student who wishes 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. Details on course requirements are contained in the policy brochure
of the Applied Mathematics Program.
Master's Degree Requirements
For the master's degree, the Program offers a thesis and non-thesis option. In the thesis
option, 24 credits of coursework are required with at least six more credits of thesis work.
In the non-thesis option, 30 credits of coursework are required, and the student must pass a
set of comprehensive examinations at the master's degree level. A scholarly paper is also
Applied Mathematics Program 99
required. In both options, the student must participate at least one semester in the Apphed
Mathematics Seminar.
Doctoral Degree Requirements
For the Ph.D. degree, the student must take 36 credits of coursework and pass a set of
comprehensive written examinations at the Ph.D. level. In addition, the student must pass the
oral candidacy examination, which tests the student on advanced material to determine if he
or she is prepared to do the research for a doctoral dissertation. At least 12 credits of
dissertation work are required. The doctoral student must also participate at least two
semesters in the applied mathematics seminar.
All M.A. and Ph.D. students must take at least one semester of numerical analysis. Details
on the level and distribution of coursework and examinations in mathematics and in the
applications area are given in the policy brochure of the Applied Mathematics Program
available at the Applied Mathematics Office.
Facilities and Special Resources
The Program is very active in research in a number of areas, strengthened further by a
complement of mathematicians from the Institute for Physical Science and Technology, the
School of Engineering, and the Departments of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science.
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, and more than 280 journals in pure and applied mathematics. The Library of
Congress, with its extensive collection of books and technical reports, is only a half hour from
the campus.
Financial Assistance
The Program offers teaching assistantships as the main source of support for graduate
students in the Department of Mathematics. These assistantships carry a stipend plus

The Department of Astronomy offers programs of study leading to the Master of Science and
Doctor of Philosophy degrees. The M.S. program includes both a thesis and non-thesis option.
A full schedule of courses in all fields of astronomy is offered including galactic astronomy,
general astrophysics, solar system astrophysics, observational astronomy, celestial mechanics,
solar physics, study of the interstellar medium, extragalactic astronomy and plasma
astrophysics. Some areas in which the faculty focus their research efforts are comets, stellar
atmospheres and spectra, solar radio astronomy, mm wavelength astronomy, the interstellar
medium, active galaxies and plasma astrophysics.
Admission Information
No formal undergraduate course work in astronomy is required. However, an entering
student should have a basic, working knowledge of the subject, which could be obtained from
one of many elementary textbooks. A more advanced knowledge will of course enable a
student to progress more rapidly during the first year of graduate work. A satisfactory score
on the GRE Advanced Test in Physics is normally required before an applicant's admission
to the Graduate School will be considered, but the Graduate Entrance Committee may waive
Astronomy Program (ASTR) 1 07
this requirement in special cases. Instead, the committee may set other conditions as a
requirement for admission to be fulfilled either before admission or during the first year at
Maryland.
Master's Degree Requirements
Candidates for the Master of Science Degree with thesis are required to complete 24 credits
exclusive of registration for master's research. At least 12 of these credits must be in the major
area and at least 12 must be at the 600 level (not necessarily the same 12). In addition, at
least six credits must be in a related field (supporting area).
The non-thesis option of the M.S. degree requires six credits in the major at the 600 level
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.
Doctoral Degree Requirements
Students must take at least four and normally will take all of the following principal courses:
ASTR 600, 605, 610, 620, 640 and 670. These courses are usually completed within the first
two years of the Ph.D. program. Twelve credits of advanced physics courses are also
required. Students will be aided at the end of the first year in choosing a suitable research
project that is required during the second year. Students may qualify for the Ph.D. program
based on their coursework and research project performance and on a written examination
integrating the six principal courses. The examination is taken during the summer after the
second year.
Course requirements for the Ph.D. include six additional advanced astronomy courses and
twelve credits of advanced physics. In addition, students must acquire some personal
experience with modem 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.
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 University of Maryland has recently joined with the University of California at Berkeley
and the University of Illinois in a project to expand and upgrade the radio observatory located
at Hat Creek in California. When the initial stages of the project are completed in a few
years, the new array will be the largest such instrument operating at mm wavelengths. This
will be a major tool for the exploration of the interstellar medium. When the system is fully
operational, it will be possible to do remote observing from the Maryland site. Data reduction
will be possible "in house" because of a major expansion in the computer facilities in the

Students are required to take written comprehensive examinations in the major area and the
minor or research tools subject area. After all coursework and written exams have been
successfully completed, each student must pass a comprehensive oral examination. Having
passed the oral exam, the student is advanced to candidacy.
Each Ph.D. candidate prepares a formal dissertation proposal and defends it at an open
meeting of faculty and students. The proposal should clearly indicate how the dissertation will
make a contribution to the literature of the field. Every doctoral student must register for a
minimum of 12 dissertation research credits during the program.
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 separately and students
must maintain minimum standards in each school to continue in the program. The Graduate
School will not accept transfer credit from coursework taken outside the joint program. A
student must complete both programs satisfactorily in order to receive both degrees. The
MBA and the JD degrees must be awarded simultaneously. A student whose enrollment is
ter-minated in one program 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 the above and consult the entry in the
University of Maryland School of Law catalog.

'Joint appointment with the Counseling Center
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 people
individually, in groups and in organizations to attain their optimal level of personal, social,
educational and career functioning. Graduates are employed in a variety of settings including
128 Counseling and Personnel Services Program (EDCP)
schools, colleges and universities, mental health agencies, rehabilitation agencies, correctional
facilities, business and industry, government agencies, other community service facilities and
private practices. 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.
Master's level professional entry-level programs are offered in five areas of specialization:
1) The School Counseling program prepares students to become school counselors in
elementary, middle and high school settings. School counselors provide individual and group
counseling to school-aged children, coordinate pupil services in schools and function as
consultants to classroom teachers, school administrators and parents. 2) The School
Psychology program prepares students for certification as school psychologists, who assess
factors that affect pupils' functioning and work together with other school staff to develop
intervention strategies to enhance the learning and behavioral adjustment of pupils. 3) The
College Student Personnel program prepares specialists for service in higher education settings
as counselors and as administrators of student affairs services. 4) The Community Counseling
program prepares counselors to work in community mental health, career counseling, and adult
development. 5) The Rehabilitation Counseling program prepares counselors to work with
persons who have mental, emotional, social or physical handicaps.
The Ph.D. degree in Counseling and Personnel Services is offered in four areas of
specialization: 1) Counseling Psychology (in collaboration with the Psychology Department),
2) School Psychology, 3) College Student Personnel Administration, and 4) Counseling and
Consultation (Counselor Education). Doctoral studies prepare students to achieve exceptional
competence in the theory and practice of their field; to develop a high level of skills as
researchers, educators and administrators; and to assume positions of leadership in various
relevant settings. Students in the specialization of Counseling Psychology are educated to
work as 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 school psychology faculty. Students in College Student Personnel
Administration are prepared to assume leadership positions as administrators of college or
university student personnel services or as faculty and researchers of college student personnel
work. Doctoral students in Counseling and Consultation (Counselor Education) are prepared
to assume roles as educators, supervisors, or researchers in school counseling, rehabilitation
counseling, community counseling or counsehng education programs.

Criminal Justice and Criminology Program (CRIM)
Director: Wellford
Professors: Loftin, Paternoster, Sherman, Smith, Wellford
Professor Emeritus: Lejins
Associate Professors: Gottfredson, Ingraham. Maida, McDowall
Assistant Professor: Simpson
The program of graduate study leading to Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees
in the area of Criminal Justice and Criminology is intended to prepare students for research,
teaching, and professional employment in the operational agencies of the criminal justice field.
This program combines an intensive background in a social science discipline such as
criminology, criminal justice, sociology, psychology and public administration with graduate-
level study of selected aspects of the criminal justice field. In addition, the Institute
participates in two programs with other departments in the University. With the Department
Criminal Justice and Criminology Program (CRIM) 131
of Counseling and Personnel Services, the Institute offers a master's program in crime and
delinquency counseling. This thirty-six credit program combines counseling and criminal
justice and criminology courses with a supervised practicum. The Institute offers a joint
J.D./M.A. degree with the School of Law of the University of Maryland, located in Baltimore.
A recent study of Institute M.A. and Ph.D. alumni reveals that master's 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; federal, state and local
law enforcement; courts; corrections; private security; and funded programs. Ph.D. graduates
have found employment mostly in teaching, research, and government agency administration.
Admission Information
In addition to the general Graduate School rules, special admission requirements include the
Graduate Record Examination, a major in a social science discipline and nine hours of
coursework in appropriate areas of criminal justice.
Master's Degree Requirements
For the M.A. applicant, the undergraduate social science major must have included at least
one course each in theory, statistics and research methods. M.A. students may choose either
a criminology or a criminal justice option. The general plan of study for both options is as
follows: 30 semester hours of courses consisting of: 1) at least six courses in criminology and
criminal justice, four of which are required courses that 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) six
hours of either thesis credit or additional coursework depending on the option selected by the
student; and 4) one elective course. The M.A. degree offers both a thesis option and a non-
thesis option with some additional requirements.
Doctoral Degree Requirements
The Ph.D. applicant must have completed two courses each in statistics, research methods
and theory; one course in each area must be at the master's level. Admission to the Ph.D.
program presupposes completion of the M.A. degree. At the discretion of the Institute's
Graduate Admissions Committee, deficiencies in some of the above areas may be made up by
noncredit work at the beginning of the program.
In addition to the general Graduate School requirements, competence in research
methodology and in quantitative techniques is expected for the completion of the Ph.D. degree,
as well as competence in theory, the criminal justice field, and in a 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 also required to pass comprehensive
examinations.

Professor Emerita: Madden
Associate Professor: Dunn
Assistant Professor: Frosch-Schroder
Lecturer: Jackson
The Department of Dance offers a Master of Fine Arts degree in Dance with concentrations
in either performance or choreography. It is designed to give outstanding students advanced
training and opportunities for creative growth. The program will prepare the student for the
professional world as a dancer, choreographer or teacher on the college level.
The competencies that students learn during the program will allow them to teach a broad
range of dance and dance-related subjects after they graduate. They should be able to present
and produce dance in a number of contexts and modalities both on the campus and in the
community. The program is designed to broaden all aspects of the artist's understanding of
dance. Important emphasis will be given to dance history and philosophy and the study of
current issues in the field. We wish our graduates to exhibit a high degree of insight into the
cultural contexts in which dance has developed in the past and continues to develop today.
Students in both the performance and choreography emphases will be expected to spend a
significant amount of time learning about stage lighting, costuming and sound, as well as
promotion and house management and the myriad of other organizational details that go into
producing a dance performance. They will be actively involved in the practical application
of this knowledge as part of their training. Graduates who understand every aspect of the
theater needed to successfully present a dance performance will find themselves more highly
employable both in the performance and educational fields of the profession.
Admission Information
Applicants should have a strong undergraduate preparation in technique and dance
composition. They should have completed the following undergraduate courses or their
Dance Program (DANC) 135
equivalent: improvisation, kinesiology, dance teaching methods, dance production, and two
semesters of dance history or one semester of history and one of dance philosophy, ethnology
or aesthetics. Undergraduate deficiencies will be considered on an individual basis.
Master's Degree Requirements
Students enrolled in the program must complete a total of 60 credit hours of study to
graduate and will be juried on a regular basis to determine their progress. Graduation from
the program requires the successful completion of a final project demonstrating a synthesis of
craft and artistic understanding as well as professional competence in the area of concentration.
Final projects may follow two emphases: (1 ) the thesis project for the choreographic emphasis
will consist of the public presentation of a body of dance works choreographed by the
candidate; (2) the thesis project for the performance emphasis will consist of the public
presentation of a body of dance works featuring the candidate in performance.
For both emphases the total performance time is to be equivalent to a substantial dance
concert. A written report documenting the project must be submitted, consisting of a thorough
analysis and evaluation of the process through which the project was realized.
Facilities and Resources
The location of campus, eight miles away from Washington D.C.. places the Department a
half hour away from America's second city of dance where one may study and enjoy a wide
variety of offerings of ballet, modem and ethnic dance.

Concentration in the History and Philosophy of Science
The Committee on the History and Philosophy of Science supervises graduate study leading
to the Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy 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, the Committee has successfully placed
all of 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 number of credit hours in these subjects. But prospective students
should also be warned that the minimum requirement for doing research in the history and
166 History Program (HIST)
philosophy of science covers substantially more areas than normally expected of Ph.D.'s in
any one of the traditional fields of history, 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 an 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.

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 (CLIS)
coordinate two master's degree programs to meet the need for multi-disciplinary 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 campus' proximity
to a variety of immensely rich research collections, students are able to gain first-hand
experiences through internships that reinforce their classroom instruction.
The sequence of courses leading to the two degrees prepares students to understand the
intellectual approach of the research scholar through historic 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 54 hours required for the degrees combine 24 hours in each component plus six
elective hours. The M.A./M.L.S. is a non-thesis program, but students may choose to write
a thesis when such research enhances their program.
Admission Information
Students may apply for admission under the rubric HILS (History-Library Science) either
through the Department of History or CLIS. Each has a coordinator who serves as a student
adviser. Since many of these courses are offered in sequence, it is important for students to
Horticulture Program (HORT) 1 67
work closely with these advisers. 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 or to the College of Library and
Information Services and fulfill the normal requirements for the separate 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 research assistantships and 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 Coordinator, in either the
Department of History or the College of Library and Information Services. For courses, see

The purpose of the Department of Human Development/Institute for Child Study and of its
graduate program is to contribute to basic knowledge, to the synthesis of knowledge, and to
the integration of knowledge with practice and policy in the multidisciplinan,' field of human
development and educational psychology. This includes the fields concerned with human
psychobiological functioning, learning and cognitive behavior, socialization and social
development, and the growth of personality through the life span. The specializations of the
faculty include infant and early childhood development, educational psychology, cognitive
development and learning strategies, achievement motivation, socialization during adolescence,
cross-cultural studies, parenting, conflict resolution, and adult development and aging.
The Department of Human Development/Institute for Child Study offers graduate programs
leading to Master of Education. Master of Arts. Doctor of Philosophy. Doctor of Education
degrees and Advanced Graduate Specialist Certificate (a planned program of 30 graduate hours
beyond the master's degree). The research oriented M.A. (with thesis) and the Ph.D. degree
programs in human development are designed to develop competencies in the theoretical areas
of biological, cognitive, social, and personality development studied w ithin socio-cultural and
educational contexts. The practice-oriented M.Ed., M.A. without thesis, and Ed.D. programs
are designed to develop competencies in identifying implications of the scientific knowledge
170 Human Development Education Program (EDHD)
of human development for specific situations and contexts through training in design,
management, delivery and evaluation of human services programs. All degrees can be
completed through part-time study.
The program provides the scientific knowledge of human growth and development which
prepares graduates for positions such as faculty in institutions of higher education (including
community colleges and schools of nursing), human service specialists in community agencies,
educational psychologists serving in schools and education agencies, and research-oriented
professionals in private, policy, or advocacy organizations.
Admission Information
Admission to the master's program requires a 3.0 undergraduate grade point average and the
submission of the Miller Analogies Test or Graduate Record Examination scores. Full
admission to the Doctoral or A.G.S. program requires a 3.0 undergraduate grade point average;
a 3.5 grade point average in previous graduate studies; and a score at the 40th percentile (or
above) on the Miller Analogies Test or Graduate Record Examination. Three letters of
reference and a statement of purpose must also be submitted. Because the doctorate requires
the development of an advanced level of research skills, the majority of students admitted to
the program have some previous background in social science research and standardized test
scores (GRE or MAT) at or above the 70th percentile. Students who do not meet all
requirements for doctoral admission may apply for the M.A. program and then apply for the
doctoral program after completing required courses.
Master's Degree Requirements
The M.A. program requires 30 credit hours and offers both a thesis option (24 hours of
courses plus 6 hours of thesis) and a non-thesis option (24 hours of courses plus 6 hours of
supervised placement in an organization and accompanying papers). The M.Ed, program
substitutes seminar papers for the thesis or placement requirement. Courses in biological,
social, cognitive and personality development and in quantitative methods as well as a written
comprehensive examination are required for all master's degrees.
Doctoral Degree Requirements
The Ph.D. and Ed.D. degrees require 90 hours of credit. Courses in biological, social,
cognitive, and personality development and in intermediate statistics and research methods are
required. There is a written 6-hour preliminary examination, usually given in the second or
third year, and a comprehensive examination given near the end of the program.
Following successful completion of core courses and the preliminary examination, a faculty
committee approves the student's course program (including up to 30 hours of relevant course
credit from a master's degree taken at the University of Maryland or other accredited
institutions). The dissertation research must be summarized in a paper suitable for submission
to a professional journal (Ph.D.) or conference (Ed.D.).

Associate Professors: Clark, Hagberg, Hatfield, Hult. Hurley, Phillips,
Santa Maria, Struna, Wrenn
Assistant Professors: Arrighi, Caldwell, Chalip, Ennis, Ryder, Tyler,
VanderVelden
Lecturers: Brown. Scott
The graduate student majoring in Kinesiology may pursue the Master of Arts (thesis and
non-thesis options) or Doctor of Philosophy degrees. The two major objectives of these
programs are: (1) to study the discipline of kinesiology by examining the effects of physical
activity on individuals from physiological, biomechanical, psychological, social and historical
174 Kinesiology Program (KNES)
points of view; and (2) to acquaint the student with curricular aspects of physical education,
to improve the quahty 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 areas of specialization
as follows: (1) Division of Sport Studies including social history of sport, sport psychology,
philosophy of sport, sociology of sport and sport management (M.A. only); (2) Division of
Biophysical Studies with specialties in exercise physiology, motor learning (M.A. only), motor
development and biomechanics; and (3) Division of Curricular Studies with emphasis on
curriculum/instruction.
Admission Information
The minimum requirement for admission to the M.A. program in kinesiology is a B or 3.0
average for the last two years of undergraduate study both in the major and related subject
fields. Students who do not meet this requirement may be admitted provisionally.
Undergraduate prerequisites for advanced study in kinesiology include physiology of exercise,
kinesiology, statistics and two courses from a discretionary pool. Students without these
courses may register as special students or be admitted provisionally with limited course
deficiencies. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is required for admission (GMAT or
GRE for Sport Management).
Admission to the Ph.D. program is based on satisfactory preparation for advanced graduate
work and a demonstrated potential for scholarly achievement. Standards for admission include
a grade point average of B+ (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. The GRE is also required
for admission. A student may be admitted on a provisional basis in those cases where special
qualifications are apparent from letters of recommendation and documentation of special
backgrounds but where the scholastic standards stated above are not met in their entirety.
Master's Degree Requirements
Completion of the master's degree (thesis option) requires a minimum of 24 semester hours,
exclusive of the required six hours of thesis credit. Six credits are required in the KNES
specialty area (Sport Psychology, Exercise Physiology, etc.) with six additional KNES hours
required. Six credits of research processes courses are also required. Twelve elective credits
may also be taken within or outside the major department. Full-time students usually complete
the master's degree in two years.
Students who choose the non-thesis option must also complete a minimum of 30 semester
hours. Six credits of research processes courses that support the major subject matter area are
required as well as a minimum of six credit hours in the KNES major specialty. Fifteen
elective credits may be taken within or outside the major department. Students must also
complete an independent investigation project under the direction of a graduate faculty
member. In addition, students must pass a final comprehensive examination.
Kinesiology Program (KNES) 1 75
Doctoral Degree Requirements
The primary emphasis of the doctoral program is to provide the student with the necessary
knowledge and skills to conduct quality research in a subdiscipline of kinesiology. These
subdisciplines (specializations) have been listed above. No minimum credit hours or
experiences for these specializations are prescribed. However, a minimum of 60 credit hours
beyond the master's degree is required. This total includes 12 credit hours for the dissertation.
Actual credit hour totals are based upon the student's previous experience and future goals,
thus var>ing from student to student.
Students must demonstrate competency in research, including a basic understanding of the
scientific method. Normally, this competency includes a demonstration and understanding of
research processes, quantitative methods of analysis and the principles underlying statistical
aspects of experimental and non-experimental designs in Kinesiology. No foreign language
is formally required for the Ph.D. degree, but it may be required by advisers when a student's
specialization is heavily supported by foreign language journals.
Facilities and Special Resources
The Department maintains a modem research laboratory including, but not limited to:
psychophysiological influences in exercise and sport: graphical analysis and modeling of
human movement; learning and developmental influences on performance of motor tasks;
assessment of body composition, blood constituent variations, cardiovascular and pulmonarv'
functions and environmental factors. In addition, small animal paradigms and quantitative and
naturalistic examination of the teaching-learning process are also supported. The College of
Health and Human Performance also supports a microcomputer laboratorv- that includes two
local networks (IBM and Apple), each of which is connected to the campus' mainframe
network. Numerous IBM and Apple workstations are housed within the laboratory.

Linguistics Program (LING)
Professor and Chair: Lightfoot
Associate Professors: Homstein, Weinberg
Assistant Professors: Gorrell, Inkelas, Lebeaux, Uriagereka
Adjunct Professors: Anderson, Bemdt, Burzio, Caramazza
The Linguistics Department offers graduate study leading to the Master of Arts and Doctor
of Philosophy degrees. Students are exposed to a research enterprise that seeks to discover
of what a person's linguistic capacity consists: how it arises in children; how it functions in
speaking and listening; how it relates to other cognitive capacities; and how it can be
investigated by various methods including those of experimental psychology and computer
science.
The Program has some distinctive emphases: 1) Students must develop a minor area of
specialization; 2) The psychological embedding of linguistic theories and on cross-language
work are emphasized; 3) Special provisions are made for students who start graduate work
with a thorough background in linguistics and clear ideas about their research plans; 4) The
Department desires students who are native speakers of a language that has not been
extensively analyzed and who wish to work on a grammar of that language.
Admission Information
Students with a strong undergraduate background in areas such as linguistics, mathematics,
psychology, computer science, philosophy, anthropology, English and foreign languages are
invited to apply. Students must have a background equivalent to what is covered in the core
of the bachelor' s degree in Linguistics (essentially two semesters of generative syntax and two
semesters of phonology). Students who lack this background may be admitted with
"Provisional Graduate Status" and take undergraduate courses in syntax and phonology along
with graduate-level courses for which they meet the prerequisites.
Master's Degree Requirements
M.A. students take a total of 36 credits: 21 credits in linguistics and nine credits in an area
such as biology, computer science, language pathology, philosophy, psychology or a particular
language for the minor area of specialization. In addition, either a thesis or two
comprehensive papers in distinct areas of language study will be written.
Doctoral Degree Requirements
Ph.D. students normally satisfy the requirements for the M.A., although the thesis/two
comprehensive papers may be waived for students who have clear research plans and who
apply directly to the Ph.D. program. Students must complete 1 2 credits in linguistics at the
800-level and six 600-level credits in non-LING courses. After completing course
requirements, students write a research paper that demonstrates a capacity for productive
research, makes an original contribution to the field and normally forms the basis for the
dissertation research. After satisfactory completion of the research paper, students write a
dissertation.

180 Marine-Estuarine-Environmental Sciences Program (MEES)
toxicology, environmental and resource economics, environmental management, marine and
environmental biotechnology, and fisheries and wildlife management.
Graduates find employment in various federal and state environmental agencies. In addition,
academic and private research institutions and commercial interests concerned with the
development and use of coastal, estuarine and ocean resources find graduates well prepared
for a variety of positions.
Admission Information
In addition to the Graduate School admission requirements, applicants must submit scores
from the Graduate Record Examination. An overall G.P.A. of 3.0 or better is required. The
applicant's written statement of personal goals is most important in the admissions process.
Degree work may be pursued on a part-time basis.
The program is interdisciplinary, and the course of study will be tailored to the individual
student's needs as determined by that student's advisory committee. There are several specific
prerequisites, some of which may be satisfied through coursework after the student is admitted
to the program. All degree candidates must take statistics and complete an approved graduate
level course in each of the four distribution areas: biology, chemistry, physical sciences and
management. Course credit requirements and research are not in excess of general Graduate
School requirements for the M.S. and Ph.D.
Master's Degree Requirements
The specific requirements for the master's degree are as follows: 1) A minimum of 30
semester hours, including at least 6 hours of thesis research (MEES 799), must be taken at the
400 level or higher. Of the 24 hours of course work, at least 12 hours must be at the 600
level or higher; 2) One approved course must be taken in each of three of the four distribution
areas. Courses must be at the 600 level or higher; 3) An approved course in statistics; 4) One
seminar course (MEES 608 or equivalent) is required each year of enrollment in the MEES
Program; 5) An oral defense of the thesis, administered according to Graduate School
regulations, must be taken at the completion of the research project. This examination will
be conducted when the student has completed all other requirements for the degree. There are
no comprehensive examinations required for the M.S. degree unless stipulated by the advisory
committee.
Doctoral Degree Requirements
The specific requirements for the doctoral degree are as follows: 1) A minimum of 24
semester hours must be taken at the 400 level or higher. Of the 24 hours of course work, at
least 12 must be at the 600 level or higher. Work taken in fulfillment of the requirements for
a master's degree is applied against this requirement. Additional course work may be
recommended or required by the advisory committee; 2) One approved course (600 level or
higher) must be taken in each of the four distribution areas; 3) An approved course in
statistics; 4) One seminar course (MEES 608 or equivalent) is required for each year or
enrollment in the program; 5) A minimum of 12 semester hours of dissertation research
(MEES 899) must be completed; 6) Although not required, one or more courses in computer
Marine-Estuarine-Environmental Sciences Program (MEES) 181
science or computer applications is strongly recommended; 7) Reading knowledge of foreign
languages may be recommended by the advisory committee if the student's research program
requires it.
Formal application for advancement to candidacy for the doctoral degree requires successful
completion of both a comprehensive examination and an oral defense of the research proposal.
The comprehensive exam must be passed before the student can defend the dissertation
proposal.
Facilities and Special Resources
Facilities and faculty throughout the statewide university system participate in the program.
The degree candidate may take courses on any campus and will have an advisory committee
which can be composed of participating MEES faculty from several locations, including
laboratories of the University's Center for Environmental and Estuarine Studies (CEES) and
the Center of Marine Biotechnology (COMB). Research programs may also be conducted at
off-campus sites, including the laboratories of CEES (Chesapeake Biological Laboratory, Horn
Point and Appalachian Environmental Laboratories) and COMB.
Campus facilities include well-equipped laboratories for research in most areas of
environmental sciences. Maryland has an active Sea Grant research program, and students in
marine and estuarine work have access to laboratory-equipped research vessels for work on
the Chesapeake Bay and in other areas. In addition, students will find their work greatly
enhanced by the ties most faculty members maintain with many government laboratories and
agencies in the Washington-Baltimore area. Library resources are among the best in the nation
due to the proximity of the National Agricultural Library and the Library of Congress, along
with the University of Maryland System libraries and several other specialized libraries unique
to the area.
Financial Assistance
Financial assistance in the form of teaching and research assistantships (through participating
departments and the CEES laboratories), as well as some fellowships, may be available to
exceptionally qualified candidates.

Director: Slud
Professors: Freidlin, Kagan, Mikulski, Slud, Syski, Wei, Yang
Associate Professors: Kedem, Smith
Assistant Professors: Fakhre-Zakeri, Lee
The Statistics Program offers the Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees for
graduate study and research in statistics and probability. Areas of faculty research activity
include statistical decision and estimation theory, biostatistics, stochastic modeling, robust and
nonparametric inference, analysis of variance, theory and inference for stochastic processes,
stochastic analysis and time series. Students may concentrate 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 interests. The Program also 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, which
maintains the records of all students in the Statistics Program and handles correspondence with
those applying for admission. However, any application for admission must indicate clearly
that the student wishes to enter the Statistics Program.
Employment prospects for statisticians continue to brighten. All recent M.A. and Ph.D.
graduates of Maryland's STAT Program have found jobs in academia, government, and private
industry.
Admission Information
In addition to the Graduate School requirements, applicants with at least a B average (3.0
on a 4.0 scale) should have completed an undergraduate program of study that included a
strong emphasis on rigorous 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 he/she can demonstrate
potential success in the Program through other criteria. The Graduate Record Examination is
not required for admission, but applicants who have taken this examination are required to
supply their score.
Master's Degree Requirements
The M.A. degree program offers both a thesis and non-thesis option. For the non-thesis
option, a student must complete 30 credit hours with at least a B average; at least 18 of these
credits must be at the graduate level (600/700 level) and at least 12 of the graduate credits
must be in statistics.
The student must also pass the Mathematics Department written examination in probability,
mathematical statistics and applied statistics or any field of mathematics. The student may
take either the separate M.A. written examination or the Ph.D. written examination, which
Mathematical Statistics Program (STAT) 1 83
requires a lower score to pass. These examinations can be taken only twice. However, any
attempt during the first two years of graduate work is considered a "free try." The student
must also submit a satisfactory short scholarly paper.
For the thesis option, a student must: (1) complete 24 credit hours with at least 15 at the
600/700 level (of these 15 hours, at least 12 hours must be in statistics); (2) maintain an
average grade of B or better; (3) take six hours of STAT 799 (Research) in addition to (1);
(4) write a satisfactory thesis; and (5) pass a final oral examination. There is no foreign
language requirement for M.A. students.
Doctoral Degree Requirements
The M.A. degree is not required for admission to the Ph.D. program. A doctoral student
must complete a minitnum 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, the university requires at least 12 hours of STAT 899 (Doctoral Research).
The Ph.D. student must take a written examination in probability, statistics and any third
field of mathematics. Like the M.A. degree, the written examination can be taken only twice,
but 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.
Administered by the statistics faculty, the oral examination usually takes place a year after the
student passes the written examination. This examination serves as a test of the student's in-
depth preparation in the area of specialization and 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, the Department requires a reading competence in two foreign
languages for the Ph.D. The student may select any two of three languages: French, German
or Russian. Administered and graded by the Mathematics Department, the language
examination consists of translating foreign mathematical texts into competent English.
To be admitted to candidacy, the Ph.D. student 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.
Facilities and Special Resources
The Program cooperates closely with the Mathematics Department and the Interdisciplinary
Applied Mathematics Program. The Program's faculty are actively involved in research in
applied and theoretical areas of statistics and maintain close ties with applied scientists in
several federal agencies. The Program, jointly with the Computer Science Center, runs a
Statistical Laboratory which provides statistical expertise to researchers, both on and off
campus. The Program regularly sponsors two seminars, one on statistics and probability and
one on stochastic processes. In addition, each term a faculty-student workshop covers a topic
of current statistical interest.
1 84 Mathematics Program (MATH)
By scheduling many of its applied and masters level courses in late-afternoon time slots, the
Program facilitates and invites part-time graduate study.
Financial Assistance
Graduate assistantships are awarded to graduate students in the Statistics Program through
the Mathematics Department. At present. Statistics students hold approximately 10 out of 92
assistantships within the Mathematics Department. The teaching load is six hours each
semester, in addition to the duties of meeting with students and grading papers. A number of
fellowships and research assistantships are also available, and from time to time advanced
students are placed into research assistantships as data analysts or statistical consultants with
other campus units such as the Statistics Laboratory, run jointly by the Statistics Program and
the Computer Science Center.

Three programs currently comprise the Mathematics Department: the Mathematics Program
(MATH), the Interdisciplinar\ Applied Mathematics Program (MAPL). and the Mathematical
Statistics Program (STAT). Students applying for admission should use the appropriate
symbol to indicate their program of interest. 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 by the Graduate Applied
Mathematics Committee but administered by the Mathematics Department.
Students can earn Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in each of these
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. programs continue to face a favorable employment
market. Academic opportunities are becoming more encouraging: our Ph.D.'s have in some
cases secured prestigious academic posts (MTT, Yale, NYU). Those in the applied programs
face a ver\' encouraging employment environment and have secured good positions in
government and industr}'.
Admission Information
Admission is granted to applicants who show promise in mathematics as demonstrated by
their undergraduate 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 who have taken this examination are required to supply their score.
Master's Degree Requirements
The M.A. degree program offers both a thesis and non-thesis option; most students choose
the latter. The non-thesis option requires students to take 30 credit hours with an average of
at least a B. At least 18 credits must be at the 600/700 level, including at least 12 hours in
mathematics. Additionally, students must complete two full-year sequences at the 600/700
level and must pass the Departmental written examinations in three mathematical fields. In
addition, the University no\\ requires a scholarly paper.
Students may take the separate M.A. batten,- of written examinations or take the Ph.D.
version and be scored at a lower level. These examinations can be taken only twice, but any
attempt during the first two years of graduate work is considered a "free try." The M.A.
degree includes no foreign language requirement. Generally it takes two to three years to earn
the M.A.. and almost 25-30 degrees are granted each year in mathematics (MATH. STAT, and
MAPL combined).
1 86 Mathematics Program (MATH)
Doctoral Degree Requirements
The Ph.D. program does not require an M.A. degree, but appHcants 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.
Like the M.A. program, admission may be granted on a provisional basis. Students in the
Ph.D. program must complete a minimum of 36 hours of formal coursework (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, the university requires at least 12 hours of MATH
899 (Doctoral Research).
Ph.D. students must take a set of three written examinations in three mathematical fields.
These examinations can be taken only twice, but an attempt 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 begin thesis research. The dissertation must represent an original
contribution to mathematical knowledge and is usually published in a mathematical journal.
The average Ph.D. student will spend five years of graduate study before obtaining the
degree. The combined programs of mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics award an
average of 15 Ph.D.'s each year.
The Ph.D. program has two foreign language requirements. Before the student can be
admitted to candidacy, he or she must pass a written examination in either French, German
or Russian and translate 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.

robust tuning of robotic controllers, maintainability modeling and analysis, reliability of
microwave monolithic integrated circuits, synthesis of gear-coupled robotic mechanisms,
quality control of machining accuracy in automation, and optimization of the mixing
performance in a twin screw extruder.
Solid Mechanics - The solid mechanics program provides an exposure to the fundamental
concepts in the analytical and experimental study of the mechanics of solids. Areas of
specialization include theoretical and applied elasticity, fracture mechanics, experimental
mechanics, noise and vibration control, and linear and nonlinear mechanics. Courses and
research are supported by laboratories in stress analysis, computer-aided design, fracture
mechanics, vibrations, photoelasticity, and holography. Typical examples of current research
topics include dynamic deformation and fracture, feasibility of a transient dynamic design
analysis method, thermo-mechanical creep fatigue analysis of solder, mechanics of solid
lubricating films, mechanisms of fracture and fragmentation by explosive loading, a critical
evaluation of intelligent structures, and a new technique for the seismic analysis of nonlinear
systems.
Thermal-Fluid Sciences - The thermal-fluid sciences program offers courses in two broad
areas: energy and heat transfer, and fluid mechanics. The content of the upper level courses
reflect the research interests of the faculty. Research is supported by laboratories in
combustion, hydrodynamics, energy, and turbulence; and by various supercomputer centers.
190 Mechanical Engineering Program (ENME)
Typical examples of current research include the development of a visualization and imaging
system for 3-D analysis of turbulent flow structures, the application of Lagrangian transport

Admission Information
In addition to the requirements of the Graduate School, the Department requires a bachelor's
or higher degree in meteorology, oceanography, physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology,
engineering or other program with suitable emphasis in the sciences. Previous education in
meteorology will be favorably considered, but is not required. The Core courses offered in
the first year of graduate study present students with the necessary meteorology background
for the more advanced courses. The minimum undergraduate background includes 3 semesters
of calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, 3 semesters of calculus-based physics, 1
semester of chemistry and 1 semester of a scientific computer language (e.g., Fortran, C,
Pascal or Basic). Scores from the Graduate Record Examination are also required.
Master's Degree Requirements
The Meteorology Department offers a non-thesis program leading to the Master of Science
Degree. The requirements include course work, a scholarly paper and a comprehensive exam.
A minimum of 30 semester hours in courses acceptable for credit toward a graduate degree
is required for the degree program. This will include 24 hours of 600-level Meteorology
courses. Meteorology Department 400-level courses are not acceptable for credit toward the
degree. A maximum of 3 credits of METO 798 (Directed Graduate Research) is acceptable
toward the degree.
Doctoral Degree Requirements
The Meteorology Department offers a program leading to the Doctor of Philosophy Degree
(Ph.D.) in Meteorology. This program is designed to furnish the student with the education
and research background necessary to carry out independent and original scientific research.
In order to earn the Ph.D., the student must complete a course work requirement, pass the
candidacy examinations, and prepare and defend a dissertation. The course work requirement
is 30 semester hours in 600-level Meteorology Department courses. In addition, the student
must take 12 credits of METO 899 (Doctoral Dissertation Research). In addition, there is a
minor course requirement of an additional nine semester hours of ancillary courses taken
beyond the bachelor's degree from a different department in a related scientific discipline, at
least 6 of which must be at the 600-level or above. These credits need not be from the same
department but must have a unified or coherent theme. Students may petition the Department
for a waiver of these requirements based on credits earned at another institution at the graduate

198 Molecular and Civil Biology Program (MOCB)
Doctoral Degree Requirements
The core requirements of the program consist of four lecture courses in molecular and cell
biology and biochemistry and two one-semester rotations in the laboratories of the participating
faculty. A satisfactory performance in the core requirements is mandatory for continued
matriculation in the program.
Incoming students are advised for their initial course work by the first year advisory
committee. In most cases, the core requirements will serve as the full course load that a
student would undertake in his/her first year of study. Any remedial or pre-requisite type of
courses to overcome previous weaknesses or deficiencies must also be completed in the first
year of study or the summer session immediately following it. The removal of such
deficiencies may delay the completion of core requirements within the first year of study.
Under exceptional circumstances, one or more of the core courses may be waived. This will
depend on the previous training and background of the student. The student may then be
asked to register in the second level courses concurrently.
After the completion of the core requirements, the student must choose an advisor for his/her
dissertation research. The research advisor and the student will then submit names of five
faculty members within the Program who will serve as the Advisory Committee. No more
than two members of the Advisory Committee may be from the same department or the
Maryland Biotechnology Institute. The research advisor will serve as the chairman of this
committee. From here on, it will be the responsibility of the Advisory Committee to guide the
student through the remainder of his/her graduate work.
Beyond the first year, the student must take three semesters of advanced, second level
courses in specialty areas and topical subjects tailored to the development and needs of
individual student. A large spectrum of such specialized courses is offered by the participating
departments. Enrollment and completion of any one of the designated group of advanced
laboratory courses will serve to fulfill one semester of the second level courses.
The program conducts a weekly seminar in which outstanding molecular-cell biologists from
other institutions within the United States and abroad, and faculty and researchers on the
campus, give presentations on their ongoing research. Attendance at these seminars is required
for all students in the Program. Two credits of student seminar also will be required.
The Admission to Candidacy Examinations are both written, in the form of a research
proposal, and oral. The advisory committee of the student will serve as the dissertation
examination committee.

Ph.D. program, but the same supporting documents must be provided.
A candidate may be admitted to the curriculum in the History and Philosophy of Science,
or in Cognitive Studies in Philosophy, or in Moral, Political, and Social Philosophy with fewer
than 1 8 hours in philosophy if the student has a strong background in science, or in a cognate
discipline in cognitive studies, or in the social sciences, respectively. For details concerning
the curriculum within these specific areas, students should consult the individual chairs of the
three committees involved in the Philosophy Program (see below).
Master's Degree Requirements
The M.A. program offers both a thesis and a non-thesis option. Candidates who pursue
either option must demonstrate competence in symbolic logic and knowledge of modem
philosophy. There are no specific course requirements beyond the Graduate School
requirements. The individual student's research determines whether foreign language skills
are required. For the non-thesis option, a student must pass a written comprehensive
examination and must submit a collection of papers demonstrating competence in philosophical
research and writing.
Doctoral Degree Requirements
Students who seek admission to the Ph.D. program should intend to pursue only full-time
study toward that degree. Candidates with a high grade point average should normally have
completed at least 18 credit hours (or the equivalent) of philosophy, including one course in
logic, two courses in the history of philosophy and two courses from ethics, epistemology or
Philosophy Program (PHIL) 207
metaphysics. In addition to the Graduate School requirements, Ph.D. students in the regular
philosophy program are required to demonstrate a competence in three philosophical fields
selected from four broad philosophical areas: History of Philosophy. Epistemology and
Metaphysics, Logic, and Philosophy of Science and Value Theory. Students demonstrate a
competence by writing papers of substantial breadth and scope that indicate the student's grasp
of some important problems in the field and connections to other issues in that field. These
papers must be completed within six semesters of full-time study. Other requirements include:
qualification in symbolic logic, course distribution in the above four philosophical areas, and
presentation of a research paper at a Departmental colloquium in the latter stages of
dissertation research. All Ph.D. students are also required to teach undergraduates for two
semesters at an institution of higher learning, normally through the Department's teaching
assistantship program. Foreign language skills are required as demanded by the individual
student's research.
Partial credit toward the Ph.D. requirements will be awarded for relevant work done at other
graduate institutions. The Committee on Graduate Admissions will make a specific
determination in each case.
Philosophy students pursuing a Ph.D. in the History and Philosophy of Science are subject
to certain special requirements. They must demonstrate competence by examination and
written papers in ( 1) the history of science and the contemporaneous philosophies of science;
(2) the philosophy of science and related metaphysical and epistemological problems; and (3)
a field of science (for students who do not possess an undergraduate science degree) or an area
of philosophy. Coursework must include: (1) courses in the history of science and technology;
(2) the philosophy of science; (3) graduate-level courses in an area of science; (4) a course on
research methods in history and philosophy of science; and (5) either Philosophy 471 or 478.
In addition, the student must demonstrate reading competency in a foreign language, normally
French or German.
Students who take the Cognitive Studies Specialization are also subject to certain special
requirements. Ph.D. students must include an interdisciplinary field in cognitive studies as one
of the three fields of competence. Both Ph.D. and M.A. students must include philosophy
courses concerned with issues related to cognitive studies and courses in a secondary area of
cognitive studies outside philosophy.
Students who decide to specialize in Moral, Political, and Social Philosophy are also subject
to special requirements. Their program is more concentrated on the Value Theory section of
the curriculum in Philosophy, and they must include courses of study in a substantive social
science discipline. Ph.D students must demonstrate competence in Value Theory, in some
other part of Philosophy, and in their chosen social science field.

elementary particle theory, fluid dynamics, general relativity, high energy physics, many-body
theory, molecular physics, nuclear physics, particle accelerator research, plasma physics,
quantum electronics and optics, quantum field theory, space physics, and statistical mechanics.
Admission Information
Because of the large number of qualified applicants, the Department of Physics 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 show special promise may be given provisional admission under special
circumstances. Regular admission will then depend on the satisfactory completion of existing
deficiencies. A faculty adviser will inform each of these students w hat background he or she
lacks and what he or she must accomplish to achieve regular admission. Thus, the Department
hopes to offer an opportunity for advanced study in physics to all qualified students.
Students who enter the graduate program are normally expected to have strong backgrounds
in physics, including intermediate-level courses in mechanics, electricity and magnetism,
thermodynamics, physical optics, and modem 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). including the Advanced Physics test, is required
for admission. In rare instances, this requirement may be waived. The average GRE
Advanced Physics test score is 700. A minimum overall score of 550 on the Test of English
as a Foreign Language is required of applicants from non-English speaking countries.
Master's Degree Requirements
The Department offers both thesis and non-thesis options in its Master of Science program.
The Departmental requirements for the non-thesis option include: at least four courses of the
general physics sequence; a paper as evidence of ability to organize and present a written
scholarly report on contemporar\- 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 thesis option's
requirements 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.
Doctoral Degree Requirements
The requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in physics are set in general terms to
allow the individual student as much freedom as possible to prepare a course of study suited
to individual needs. These requirements are: competence in basic physics indicated by a
satisfactory performance on a qualifying examination and in the graduate laboratory; a paper
as evidence of the 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 (six credits) in physics at the 700 or 800 level and two
graduate courses (six credits) outside the physics program (this may include astronomy); PHYS
210 Physics Program (PHYS)
624 or 625 for students with theoretical theses; and research competence through active
participation in at least two hours of seminar, 1 2 hours of thesis research, and the presentation
and defense of an original dissertation.
Facilities and Special Resources
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, and the faculty and facilities involved, the Department biannually releases
a booklet entitled Research in Physics which can be obtained upon request. Out of the 85
professional faculty members, 65 engage in separately budgeted research; 102 faculty members
at other ranks also engage in research. In 1990-91, 97 graduate students also participated in
research under stipends. The current federal support for research amounts to approximately
16 million dollars annually, attesting to both the size and the quality of the program.
There are close academic ties with the Institute of Physical Science and Technology on the
campus; members of the Institute supervise graduate research and also teach physics courses.
The Department also has 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 utilize resources of nearby federal laboratories under certain
conditions.
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 Institute of Standards and Technology, the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics
Laboratory, the Department of Energy, the National Institute of Health, the Library of
Congress, and other federal institutions. The Department works closely with certain research
groups at some of these institutions. In order to facilitate graduate study in the Washington
area, the Department of Physics has adjunct professors in certain government laboratories.
Students who desire 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 1990-91 approximately
75 teaching assistants and 97 research assistants worked in the Department. 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.

Requirements."
The Department of Psychology offers training leading to the Doctor of Philosophy degree.
The number of graduate students is limited by Departmental ruling to a ratio of four resident
students per member of the Graduate faculty, ensuring close and intimate contact in research
and seminars. Programs leading to the Doctor of Philosophy degree are offered in the areas
of clinical, counseling, experimental, industrial, applied developmental psychology and social
psychology. The experimental area is further subdivided into three fields of study:
biopsychology, cognitive and psycholinguistics, and sensory and perceptual processes. Many
areas have a range of disciplines (e.g., engineering psychology) in which the student may
specialize. The Department's doctoral programs in both Clinical and Counseling Psychology
have been appro\ed by the American Psychological Association.
Admission Information
The Department accepts only those applicants 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 and do not accept students who are interested in terminal
Master of Arts degrees. The average scores of students admitted for the 1990-91 academic
year were: GRE V+Q 1300, GRE Psychology 600. GPA 3.7. Psychology GPA 3.8. The
Department of Psychology encourages applications from minority groups and women.
Applicants must submit applications each year by Januar)' 5 (preferably December 1 ) for
entrance the next fall because available spaces are usually filled early.
Master's Degree Requirements
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 30 hours of coursework including two courses in statistics and three
core courses. A research thesis is also required. Advancement to the third and the fourth year
of doctoral level work is based upon satisfacton, completion of core courses, work in the
student's specialty area and completion of the research requirement.
Doctoral Degree Requirements
A minimum of 72 credit hours bevond the B.A. is required for a doctoral degree. All
students who enter 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 designed
to provide basic information in a variety of specialty areas. The remaining credit hours
(approximately 50 hours) are devoted to research and coursework in the participant's specialty
program. If the student chooses a second specialt} , two advanced courses along with one core
course may be taken in one coherent area.
21 4 School of Public Affairs (PUAF)

The School of Public Affairs provides graduate-level, professional education in five
disciplines: accounting, statistics, economics, politics and ethics. Students also specialize in
either issues of government/private sector interaction, social policy, international security,
environmental policy, or public sector financial management. The program is open to pre-
career and mid-career graduate students and builds on the School's location in the
BaltimoreAVashington corridor.
School of Public Affairs (PUAF) 215
Admission Information
The School offers three degrees: the Master of Public Management (MPM) the Mid-Career
Master of Public Policy (MPP), and a small Ph.D. program in policy studies. 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 Degree Requirements
The MPM is a 48-credit professional degree combining a rigorous applied course of study
with practical experience. About 35 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 is approximately 3.4 and the average GRE score is
620. All students are required to have successfully completed college level math before they
enter the School.
MPM students initially fulfill the core requirements that emphasize the tools of policy
analysis: financial management, statistics, economics, politics, and ethics. They are also
introduced to the policy-making process and to national, state and local policy makers. In
addition to these core courses, first-year students may take one or two elective courses during
the second semester.
Between the first and second year, students are employed in federal, state or local
government agencies or in private firms that deal extensively with government agencies. In
addition to practical experience and the opportunity to use the skills acquired during the first
year, these internships provide contacts and relationships useful for future projects and job
placement.
After completing the core curriculum, students specialize in one of five areas: Public Policy
and Private Enterprise. Public Sector Financial Management. Environmental Policy, National
Security Studies or Social Policy. Each specialization requires participation in a final project
in which students work individually or in small groups conducting research on problems of
interest to themselves and a government agency or private firm that sponsors them.
Most MPM students take 12 credits per semester and finish the program in two years.
Master of Public Policy Degree Requirements
The MPP is a 36-credit degree program designed for mid-career students. This program
helps individuals in the middle stages of their careers to update their understanding of today's
complex public issues and 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 and excelling in his/her
professional career. Candidates enter the School with varied academic and professional
backgrounds. Most have at least a 3.0 undergraduate GPA and have completed some college-
level math and economics courses. If candidates do not have these courses in their background,
admission may be contingent upon the successful completion of appropriate coursework.
21 6 School of Public Affairs (PUAF)
The MPP degree consists of two components: the core curriculum in Methods of Policy
Analysis and a selected area of specialization in Public Sector Financial Management, Public
Policy and Private Enterprise, Environmental Policy, National Security Studies, or Social
Policy.
Courses are offered throughout the day and evening. Students usually finish the degree in
three years by taking two courses each fall and spring semester, but they are allowed to take
more classes to accelerate their progress if they wish.
Master of Public Policy candidates may also be considered for the Mid-Career Fellowship
Program. Under the joint auspices of the School, 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 management development retreats.
MBA/MPM Joint Program
The campus' College of Business and Management and the School of Public Affairs 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 to six semesters. The
accelerated program is possible because some courses can be credited toward both degrees.
Candidates must be admitted to both programs separately.
Under the joint program, 66 credits are required for graduation, split fairly 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. If a student's
enrollment is terminated in either program, the student 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 Assistant Dean of the School of Public Affairs and the MBA
Program Director. For further discussion of admission and degree requirements, students
should see the admissions requirements for each program.
MPM/JD Joint Program
The School of Public Affairs, together with the School of Law which is located on the
Baltimore campus of the University of Maryland, offers 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 the 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
School of Public Affairs (PUAF) 21 7
degrees. If a student's enrollment is terminated in either program, the student 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 (non-joint program) degree candidates.
Student programs must be approved by the deans of each school. For further discussion of
admission and degree requirements, students should consult each school's catalog.
Doctoral Degree Requirements
The School of Public Affairs Ph.D. in Policy Studies is directed at individuals who have

238 Zoology Program (ZOOL)
Master's Degree Requirements
The thesis option of the master's program enables a student to engage in advanced study and
to undertake a research project. The degree may also demonstrate the student's research
ability and lead to the continuation of graduate work for the Ph.D. in the same or related area.
The general Graduate School rules are the only requirements. 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 coursework, and 18 or more of these credits 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 adviser. 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.
Doctoral Degree Requirements
The Ph.D. program in zoology is a research program providing maximum 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 coursework, 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. This is an oral
examination that focuses primarily on determining whether the student has the proper
motivation, intellectual capacity and curiosity, and educational background. The exam also
determines if the student 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, but preferably two, years after successful completion of the preliminary
examinations.
Facilities and Special Resources
The Zoology Department's share of the Zoology-Psychology Building provides adequate
space for graduate instruction 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.
Additional 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

University Policy Statements
The provisions of this publication are not to be regarded as an irrevocable contract between
the student and the University of Maryland. Changes are effected from time to time in the
general regulations and in the academic requirements. There are established procedures for
making changes, procedures that protect the institution's integrity and the individual student's
interest and welfare. A curriculum or graduation requirement, when altered, is not made
retroactive unless the alteration is to the student's advantage and can be accommodated within
the span of years normally required for graduation. When the actions of a student are judged
by competent authority, using established procedure, to be detrimental to the interests of the
university community, that person may be required to withdraw from the university.
Animal Care and Use Program -- College Park Campus
The University of Maryland at College Park (UMCP) has an Animal Care and Use Program
to ensure appropriate humane care and use of animals in teaching, research and other
University functions. This program is consistent with federal and state animal welfare laws.
The animal care program is directred by the Animal Care and Use Committee (ACUC) whose
members include: animal researchers, veterinarians, individuals who do not use animals and
individuals not affiliated with the campus who represent the concerns of the community.
Assisted by the Director of Laboratory Animal Care, the ACUC applies the various animal
welfare and humane guidelines governing the use of animals on campus. Thus, no animals
may be used on the College Park campus for research, teaching or other University functions
without prior approval of the ACUC. Approval is granted only after satisfactory review by
the ACUC of a submitted animal use protocol. Protocol review is based on the U.S.
Interagency Research Animal Committee's "Principles for the Use of Animals in Research
Teaching and Testing." According to these principles, each protocol is evaluated with respect
to: 1) justification for the use of the animals; 2) rationale for the animal species used; 3)
justification of the number of animals used; 4) appropriate and humane animal care and use
procedures; and 5) appropriate use of anesthetics and analgesics. The ACUC also conducts
frequent inspections of animal facilities, provides training in animal-use procedures and
responds to concerns about animal care and use on campus. The guidelines established by the
ACUC are published in the University of Maryland at College Park Guidelines for Animal Use
on Campus. Any questions or concerns about animal care and use should be directed to the
Director of Laboratory Animal Care, Central Animal Resources Facility.
Policies on Nondiscrimination
The University of Maryland is an equal opportunity institution with respect to both education
and employment. The University's policies, programs and activities are in conformance with
pertinent federal and state laws and regulations on non-discrimination regarding race, color,
religion, age, national origin, sex, sexual orientation and handicap. Inquiries regarding
compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, Title IX of the 1972
Education Amendments, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 or related legal
requirements should be directed to: Director, Human Relations Program, Main Administration
Building, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742-5121.

Policy on Smoking and Guidelines
It is hereby established as the poHcy of the College Park Campus to achieve a public
environment as close to smoke-free as practicably possible. Obtaining and maintaining this
result will require the willingness, understanding, and patience of all members of the campus
community working together.
The following guidelines shall serve to implement the Campus Smoking Policy:
A. Smoking is prohibited in indoor locations where smokers and non-smokers
occupy the same area. Such areas include:
1. Academic areas: classrooms, lecture halls, seminar rooms, laboratories,
libraries, computing facilities.
2. Conference rooms, auditoria, exhibition areas, indoor athletic facilities,
theaters, pavilions, and retail stores.
3. Health facilities.
4. Common/public areas (shared spaces not fully enclosed by floor-to-ceiling
partitions and doors) including: stairwells, elevators, escalators, lobbies,
hallways, waiting rooms, reception areas, restrooms, and customer service
areas.
5. Any area in which a fire or safety hazard exists.
B. Unit heads, or their designees, may establish the following locations
as "Smoking Permitted Areas":
1. Up to one-third of dining, large lounge, and other large open spaces, as
long as ventilation is adequate. Smoking of cigars and pipes, however, is
prohibited.
2. Rooms that have closed doors and floor-to-ceiling partitions as long as
ventilation is adequate and non-smokers in adjacent areas are not exposed
to second hand or side-stream smoke.
3. The Director of the Stamp Student Union may, at his/her discretion, allow
groups and organizations with permanent offices in the Union to determine
the smoking policy in those offices. Such individual policies must adhere
to the restrictions set forth in Section III, B, 2 of this policy.
4. The Director of the Stamp Student Union may, at his/her discretion, allow
cigarette smoking by groups making use of the Grand Ballroom, the Colony
Ballroom, the Atrium, and other room in the Union is he/she determines that
it is appropriate to the nature of the event scheduled.
C. As a general rule, preferential consideration shall be given to non-
smokers whenever it is clear that they are being exposed involuntarily
to smoke.
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
Appendices 575
WHEREAS, all members ot 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.
I. 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 that 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 that the University believes to be central to the
learning and teaching process.
II. 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 student.
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 assignments 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.
ni. Student Rights and Responsibilities
1 . Students shall share with faculty and administration the responsibility for academic
integrity.
576 Appendices
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 course 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
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.
IV. 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 or 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
Appendices 577
campus' or unit's procedure for implementation of the institutional responsibility provisions
of the above Statement.
Campus Code of Academic Integrity
Excerpts from the University of Maryland Code of Academic Integrity are given below. The
complete code lists all procedures for dealing with academic dishonesty, and it also gives
specific definitions of cheating, plagiarism, and fabrication reprinted below. Copies of the
complete Code are available from the Office of Judicial Affairs.
I. The Code
The university is an academic community. Its fundamental purpose is the pursuit of
knowlege. Like all other communities, the university can function properly only if its
members adhere to clearly established goals and values. Essential to the fundamental purpose
of the university is the commitment to the principles of truth and academic honesty.
Accordingly, the Code of Academic Integrity is designed to ensure that the principle of
academic honesty is upheld. While all the members of the university share this responsibility,
the Code of Academic Integrity is designed so that special responsibility for upholding the
principle of academic honesty lies with the students.
II. Deflnitions
Academic dishonesty: any of the following acts, when committed by a student, shall
constitute academic dishonesty:
A. Cheating: intentionally using or attempting to use unauthorized materials,
information, or study aids in any academic exercise.
B. Fabrication: intentional and unauthorized falsification or invention of any
information or citation in an academic exercise.
C. Facilitating academic dishonesty: intentionally or knowingly helping or
attempting to help another violate any provision of this Code.
D. Plagiarism: intentionally or knowingly representing the words or ideas of
another as one's own in any academic exercise.
All members of the university community - students, faculty, and staff - share the
responsibility and authority to challenge and make known acts of apparent academic
dishonesty. Faculty must undertake a threshold responsibility for such traditional safeguards
as examination security and proctoring.
ni. Honor Pledge
All applicants for admission to the undergraduate or graduate programs at the University of
Maryland College Park, as well as all students registering for courses, will be expected to sign
an Honor Pledge as a condition of admission and at each registration. The wording of the
pledge will be recommended by the Student Honor Council, for approval by the Campus
Senate.
578 Appendices
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.
University Policy on Disclosure of Student Records
The University of Maryland adheres to a policy of compliance with the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act (Buckley 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 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 an 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.
n. 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.
Appendices 579
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.

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 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 the student, the
University will amend the records accordingly.
C. Right to Place and Explanation in the Records
If, as a result of the hearing, the University decides that the information is
584 Appendices
not inaccurate, misleading or otherwise in violation of the student's rights,
