THE MISSION OF THE COLLEGE
The Mission of Lebanon Valley College arises directly from its origins as a church
related college. We emphasize that fact by maintaining affiliation with the United
Methodist Church and by affirming the Judeo-Christian tradition as the perspec-
tive for our policies.
The best way to understand the mission of Lebanon Valley College is to focus on
what it is we hope for our students. We want our students:
to develop a genuine concern for cooperative living and community
service;
to attain a heightened sense of moral and spiritual values through a
deepened awareness of how people have thought of themselves in
relation to nature, to society, and to God;
to appreciate the close and unmistakable relationship among
rational thought, creative imagination, and moral commitment; and
to deal candidly and intelligently with the past, the present, and the
future and their interrelationship.
This assertion of hope for our students possesses three distinctive characteristics.
( 1 ) While this is not a list of priorities in rank order, neither is it mere coincidence
that cooperation with and service to others comes first. (2) Moral commitment is
not affirmed as one of a laundry list of qualities nor does it appear as an
afterthought. Rather it is inherent or explicit in all the desired outcomes. ( 3 ) The
broad description of our program which these objectives implies identifies quali-
ties which we attempt to achieve through both general education and major study,
but the stress throughout is on interrelationships, not on knowledge in isolation.
We want our students to be as knowledgeable, as aesthetically sensitive, as skillful
as possible, but we want more than that for them.
The motto of the College, taken from the Gospel of John is "You shall know the
truth and the truth shall make you free." But our aim is not merely to free our
students from ignorance, superstition, prejudice, narrowness of vision. It is also
to free them for a life of service to others. That purpose we affirm in the concept
of leadership which gives focus to the ideals of education by reiterating the central
value of the liberal arts tradition in a democratic society: to prepare people to make
a difference, to contribute significantly to their various communities.

prepayment requirements. Two agents have been appointed to process deferred
payment applications for Lebanon Valley College:
Academic Management Services IPP/HES Trust
Pawtucket, Rhode Island 02861 c/o Municipal Services Dept.
Phone: 1-800-556-6684 Dauphin Deposit Bank and Trust Co.
P.O. Box 2937
> Harrisburg, PA 17105
The College has no financial interest in either of these plans and offers them as
a convenience to students and parents. Students who are receiving monthly Social
Security or Veteran's Education Benefits may defer the amount covered by these
benefits.
Continuing Education Center
Lebanon Valley College's Continuing Education Center offers credit programs on
four levels: certificate, associate, baccalaureate, and diploma. Certificates are
starter programs that approximate the beginning of a four-year college experi-
ence, ideal spring-boards from which to go on for an associate or bachelor's degree.
Diploma programs are intended for persons who have already been awarded a
bachelor's degree in one discipline and desire to study another discipline in some
depth and breadth.
A second bachelor's degree may be awarded to adult students who already have
received a bachelor of arts or sciences from LVC or another accredited college or
university. In such cases, students only must complete the major requirements for
the second degree or a minimum of thirty credits, whichever is greater.
Courses in the Continuing Education Center are offered on the Annville campus
in evenings, on weekends and in summer sessions.
The Continuing Education Center publishes course schedules fall, spring and
summer. To obtain copies of course schedules or to receive detailed information
on all academic programs for adults call 717-867-6213 or write Continuing
Education Center, Lebanon Valley College, Annville, PA 17003-0501.
A candidate for admission to any of Lebanon Valley College's Continuing Educa-
tion degree programs must submit a completed application form with the required
application fee. An official high school transcript is required. Adult students
planning to transfer to Lebanon Valley also must submit official transcripts of any
completed college or university courses. Official transcripts relating to military or
business courses also may prove to be useful. Although students may begin taking
classes before they have been accepted, they must speak with a counselor before
registering for the courses. To arrange an admissions interview with a counselor
call 717-867-6213. Decisions on all adult student applications usually are made
within one month after the last required transcript is received.

UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC
REGULATIONS AND PROCEDURES
Attendance at Lebanon Valley College is a privilege not a right. To provide the
necessary atmosphere in which teaching and learning can occur, the College
expects that the conduct of all campus citizens will conform to accepted standards.
The College has the right to require the withdrawal of any student whose actions
are inimical to the purposes of the institution. The following academic regulations
are announcements and do not constitute a contract between the student and the
College. The College reserves the right to change these regulations and procedures
as it deems necessary for the accomplishment of its purposes, but wherever pos-
sible, a student will proceed to graduation under the regulations in effect at the
time of his/her entrance at the College.
Degrees
Baccalaureate Degrees
Lebanon Valley College confers eight baccalaureate degrees. Bachelor of Arts for
students completing requirements in the following major programs: American
studies, economics, English, foreign language, French, general studies, German,
history, music, philosophy, political science, psychology, religion, sociology, Spanish
and certain individualized majors.

ing requirements for the appropriate major program.
Associate Degrees
Through the Continuing Education Center, students may earn the Associate of
Science degree in accounting, general studies or management or the Associate of
Arts degree in general studies.
11
Privacy of Student Records
In accordance with the Family Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, the College does not
release any student education records without written consent and request of the
student, or as prescribed by law.
A student has the right to inspect his or her educational records maintained by the
College. It is the student's responsibility to contact the appropriate office of the
College to make the necessaryarrangements.
The College makes public such directory information as name, address,telephone,
date of birth, major field of study, degrees and awards received, previous schools
attended, participation in activities, and athletic information.
Credit Hours
A credit hour is the unit to measure academic progress. Each course has a credit
designation approximately equal to the number of hours to be spent in class each
week. A course requiring three hours of class attendance each week will carry
three credit hours. Credit for laboratories is generally awarded at one-half the
regular rate.
Graduation Requirements
Candidates for a baccalaureate degree must obtain 122 credit hours, except for
continuing education students who are exempt from the physical education re-
quirement and must obtain 120 credit hours. Credit hours are accumulated in
three separate categories: general education requirements, major requirements,
and electives.
Candidates for an associate degree must accumulate at least 60 credit hours
including the course work appropriate to their major program. Fifteen of the last
eighteen credit hours toward the degree must be in residence.
The general education program is that part of the curriculum that is shared by
all students in all majors. The nine areas of required courses reflect 45 - 49
credit hours.
The major programs each require at least 24 credit hours of course work.
Electives are those courses selected by the student that reflect neither major
nor general education requirements.
Candidates for degrees must also take in residence 30 credit hours of the 36 taken
immediately prior to graduation. Course work taken in all of the College's
programs qualify as work done in residence.
12
Advising Program
Each student has a faculty advisor whose role is to counsel about registration
procedures, course selections, academic requirements, and regulations. The
student is required to obtain the advisor's counsel and approval before registra-
tion, withdrawal, election of pass/fail option, and/or change in credit/audit status.
Academic Procedures
Arrangement of Schedules
Each student arranges a semester program of courses in consultation with, and
by approval of, his or her faculty advisor. Students already in attendance do this
during registration periods. New students accomplish this on orientation days.
Limit of Hours
To be classified as full-time, a student must take at least twelve credit hours in
a semester. Seventeen credit hours is the maximum permitted without approval
from the student's advisor and permission of the Registrar. Audited courses are
counted in determining the course load, but physical education and music
organizations are not. To be permitted to take more than 17 credits the student
should have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher, or be enrolled in
the Honors Program, or be a senior. Students shall pay the prevailing tuition rate
for each credit hour beyond 17 (not counting physical education and music
organizations).
Class Standing
Students are classified academically at the beginning of each year. Membership
in the sophomore, junior or senior classes is granted to students who have earned
a minimum of 28, 56, or 84 credit hours respectively.
Transfer Credit
A student applying for advanced standing after having attended another accred-
ited institution shall send an official transcript to the Dean of Admissions. If
requested, the student must provide copies of the appropriate catalogs for the
years of attendance at the other institution or institutions.
Credits are accepted for transfer provided the grades are C- (1.67) or better and
the work is equivalent or similar to work offered at Lebanon Valley College.
Grades thus transferred count for credit hours only, not for quality points.
A candidate for admission holding an associate degree from a regionally accred-
ited college can be admitted with full acceptance of course work at the previously
attended institution. Course work in the major field, however, for which the
applicant has received a D shall not be counted toward fulfilling the major
requirement.
13
Because Lebanon Valley College is a liberal arts institution, consideration of full
acceptance of the associate degree will be granted with the understanding that the
candidate has followed a basic course of study compatible with the curriculum and
academic programs of the College and has been enrolled in a transfer program. A
total of 60 credits will be accepted for an associate degree and 57 credits for a
diploma program. A maximum of 90 credit hours will be accepted toward a
baccalaureate degree.
In most instances the applicant may be expected to complete the baccalaureate
degree within two years. However, when the requirements of a particular major
field or the nature of the previous study demand additional work beyond two
years, the applicant will normally be notified at the time of admission.
Discontinuance of Courses
The College reserves the right to withdraw or discontinue any course.
Registration and Preregistration
Students are required to register for courses on designated days of each semester.
Students who register later than the designated times shall be charged a fee.
Students desiring to register later than one week after the opening of the semester
will be admitted only by special permission of the Registrar.
A major course of study must be declared no earlier than the end of the second
semester Freshman year, but no later than when 30 credit hours have been
completed.
Change of Registration
Change of registration, including pass/fail elections, changes of course hours
credit, changes from credit to audit and vice versa, must be approved by signature
of the advisor. In most instances, registration for a course shall not be permitted
after the course has been in session for one full week. With the permission of the
advisor, a student may withdraw from a course at any time through the last day
of semester classes (see grading policy). A fee is charged for every change of course
made at the student's request after Add/Drop Day.
Auditing Courses
Students may register to audit courses with the approval of their academic
advisor. Audited courses are counted in considering the course load relative to the
limit of hours. No grade or credit is given for an audited course, but the registrar
will record the audit on the transcript if the student attends regularly. A change
of registration from credit to audit or from audit to credit must be accomplished
by the end of the eighth week of semester classes.
14
Pass/Fail
After attaining sophomore standing (28 credit hours) a student may elect to take
up to two courses per semester and one per summer session on pass/fail basis;
however, only six such courses can be counted toward graduation requirements.
No courses taken pass/fail may be used to meet either general education, major
requirements, or pre- or co-requisites for classes. A student may select or cancel
a pass/fail registration any time during the first eight weeks of a semester. Passing
with honors will be designated by the grade PH indicating that a grade of B+ or
higher was earned.
Repetition of Courses
A student receiving a grade of D+ or lower in a course may repeat that course once
for a higher grade. For purposes of graduation requirements semester hours credit
count only once. For purposes of cumulative point average only the higher grade
counts; but the lower grade remains on the permanent record card. If a course
failed at Lebanon Valley is repeated at another institution the credit may be
transferred, but the original grade remains part of the cumulative point average.
Concurrent Courses
A student enrolled for a degree at Lebanon Valley College may not carry courses
concurrently at any other institution without prior consent of his or her advisor
and the Registrar.
External Summer Courses
A student registered at Lebanon Valley College may not obtain credit for the
courses taken during the summer in another college, unless such courses have
prior approval of his or her advisor and the Registrar.
Attendance Policy
Each student is responsible for knowing and meeting all requirements for each
course, including regular class attendance. At the opening of each semester the
instructors shall clearly inform students of class attendance regulations. Violations
of those regulations shall make the student liable to receive a grade of F in the
course. Upon the recommendation of the instructor and the approval of the
Registrar a grade of W will be assigned during the eight weeks of the semester,
and an F will be assigned after that date.
Excused absences do not absolve students from the necessity of fulfilling all course
requirements.
15
Advanced Placement
Advanced Placement with credit for appropriate courses shall be granted to
entering students who make scores of 4 or 5 on College Board Advanced Placement
examinations. For scores of 3, final determination is made by the appropriate
department. Advanced Placement without credit may be granted on the basis of
the Achievement Tests of the College Board examinations or such other proficiency
tests as may be determined by the Registrar and by the chairperson of the
department.
Second Bachelor's Degrees
A person who has earned a bachelor's degree from Lebanon Valley College or
another accredited college or university may earn a second bachelor's degree by
meeting the following requirements:
1. A minimum of 30 additional undergraduate credits must be completed suc-
cessfully at Lebanon Valley.
2. All graduation requirements for the major of the second degree must be met
satisfactorily.
3. Course work completed successfully as part of the first degree program may
be used to satisfy the graduation requirements of the second major.
4. No course already taken in the first degree program may be repeated in the
second degree program.
5. Teacher Certification credits may not be counted toward a second degree.
6. Graduates from other accredited colleges or universities shall not be required
to meet any Lebanon Valley general education requirements.
7. No courses in the second degree program may be met satisfactorily through such
non-traditional means as Challenge Examinations, CLEP, or Credit for Life
Experience.
8. No internships may be used to satisfy the 30 credit rule, unless such internship
is required in the second degree program.
9. No courses in the second degree program may be taken Pass/Fail.
Undergraduate Non-Traditional Credit
Lebanon Valley College recognizes the ability of highly motivated students to
master specific areas of study on their own initiative and provides programs to
allow these students the opportunity to gain credit. Any matriculated student
may earn a maximum of 30 credits toward a bachelor's degree or a maximum of
15 credits toward an associate's degree through non-traditional means (experien-
tial credit, advanced placement, CLEP, challenge examinations).
16
Challenge Exams Policy
Only the courses listed in the College curriculum may be challenged for credit.
Full-time students should request challenge examinations through their aca-
demic advisors. Part-time students and those students enrolled through the
continuing education program should make application or challenge exams
through the Continuing Education Center. All requests must be approved by the
Registrar and the chairperson of the department in which the course is listed.
Challenge exams are considered to be comprehensive examinations in the subject
area and are graded Pass/Fail. The grading criteria for passing a challenge exam
shall be determined by each department. There is a fee for each challenge
examination. This fee is for preparation and grading of the examination and is
charged without regard to the test results. Challenge exams may not be taken by
students who have received any grade in a course equivalent to or more advanced
than the course for which the student is requesting credit by examination.
Challenge exams may not be used for the purpose of acquiring credit for a course
previously failed. Practicums, internships, seminars, research courses, independent
study, and courses with required laboratory components are not subject to credit
by examination.
CLEP (College Level Examination Program) Policy
Credit shall be granted to those students who score well on CLEP examinations
that are approved by the College. To receive credit, a student must score above the
50th percentile on the objective section and above a C, as determined by the
appropriate academic department, on the essay section.
A maximum of 6 credits shall be awarded for each examination; of these credits,
only 3 may be applied to the general education requirements, in the appropriate
area. Credit shall be granted only to students who have matriculated at Lebanon
Valley College.
Normally, requests for CLEP credit must be approved by the Registrar before the
student has completed 30 credits.
Credit for Life Experience Policy
Lebanon Valley College provides for the awarding of undergraduate academic
credit for knowledge acquired through non-academic experience in subjects in the
College curriculum. The experience should have a direct relation to the material
taught in a course in the College curriculum and should extend over a sufficient
period to provide substantive knowledge in the relevant area. Matriculated
students who believe they qualify for such credit may petition the appropriate
department through academic advisors. Students enrolled in the Continuing
Education program must petition through the Continuing Education Center. This
17
petition must (1) detail the relevant experience in question, (2) provide appropri-
ate supporting evidence, (3) note the equivalent College course by department and
number, and (4) state the number of credit hours sought. The appropriate
department will consult with the academic advisor or the Continuing Education
Center to determine the best means (interview, examination, portfolio, etc.) for
evaluating the experience.
Approval of experiential credit for full-time students must be made in writing over
the signatures of the academic advisor, the appropriate department chairperson,
and the Dean of the College. Approval of experiential credit for students enrolled
through the continuing education program must be made in writing over the
signatures of the Director of Continuing Education, the appropriate department
chairperson, and the Dean of the College.
Experiential credit cannot exceed six credit hours in one academic year and cannot
exceed a maximum of twelve credit hours in the degree program.
Grading Systems and Grade Point Averages
Student work is graded A (distinguished performance), B (superior work), C
(satisfactory achievement), D (requirements and standards met a minimum
level), F (Course requirements not met). For each credit hour in a course, students
receive the following quality points:

F carries no credit or quality points, but grades of F are used in calculating the
grade point averages. The cumulative grade point average is calculated by
dividing the quality points by the credit hours completed.
Candidates for a degree must obtain a cumulative grade point average of 2.00, and
a major grade point average of 2.00. Only grades in courses taken at Lebanon
Valley College, and the LVC-Washington Semester programs are used to deter-
mine grade point averages.
Students in the classes of 1991 and 1992 and all continuing education degree
candidates admitted before July 1, 1989 must meet graduation requirements by
earning a cumulative grade point average of 1.75. Students in the classes of 1993
and 1994 and all continuing education candidates admitted after July 1, 1989
meet graduation requirements of earning a grade point average of 2.00. All
students must have a 2.00 grade point average in their major, any second major,
and any minor.
A student may not take a course that has a prerequisite course he/she has failed.
In addition to the above grades, the symbols I, W, WP, and WF are used. I indicates
that the work is incomplete (certain required work postponed by the student for
substantial reason with the prior consent of the instructor), but otherwise
satisfactory. This work must be completed within the first eight weeks of the next
semester, or the I will be changed to an F. Appeals for an extension of time must
be presented to the registrar by the first week of the next semester. W indicates
withdrawal from a course through the eighth week of semester classes. In case of
withdrawal from a course thereafter through the last day of semester classes, the
symbol WP is used if the work has been satisfactory and WF if unsatisfactory. The
grade of WF is calculated as an F in the grade point averages. For physical
education a grade of either S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory) is recorded.
Once a grade has been recorded it may not be changed without the approval of the
instructor and the Registrar. Students who feel the grade may be inaccurate
should contact the instructor at once, but in no case later than the end of the
semester following the course in question.
Academic and Graduation Honors

courses, an interdisciplinary course involving the study of leadership theories and
processes (LSP 100 or LSP 111) is required as part of the General Education
program for all students. Beyond these basics, Lebanon Valley offers three
advanced courses in Leadership Studies.
The Leadership Studies Scholar Program provides a thorough grounding in the
fundamentals of leadership, in both theory and application. This program consists
of a four-course sequence spread over the four years of undergraduate study. None
of these courses may be taken Pass/Fail.
The Leadership Studies Scholar Program is available to all students in the College
who wish to continue their study of leadership, both to broaden their understanding
of leadership theories and processes and to increase their self- awareness in their
roles as leaders and followers.
The Leadership Studies Scholar Program seeks to achieve the following outcomes
for all participating students:
1. An understanding of the theories and models of leadership.
2. Knowledge of how people in diverse social and cultural contexts have
assumed leadership roles and performed as leaders.
3. A critical awareness of how ethics and values help determine whether
responsible leadership or mere manipulation (the irresponsible use of
power and authority) will occur.
4. Increased self-awareness and understanding of how a person's behavior
affects relationships in leader/follower situations.
5. Awareness and appreciation of the responsibilities and difficulties inher-
ent in leadership.

UNDERGRADUATE
PROGRAMS OF STUDY
Internships
An internship is a practical and professional work experience that allows students
to participate in the operations of business, industry, education, government, or
not- for- profit organizations. Internships provide students with the opportunity
to integrate their classroom learning with on- the- job experience. Students test
the practical application of their liberal arts learning in a variety of professional,
service, and occupational settings.
For one semester hour of credit, the intern should invest at least 45 clock hours of
time in the internship. The internship essentially involves a contract between the
student, the faculty advisor, and the on-site internship supervisor. In addition to
the practical on-site experience, internships typically require special readings,
reports , j ournals and faculty conferences . Students may enroll for three to twelve
credit hours of internship in any one semester. A maximum of fifteen credit hours
in internships may be used towards the graduation requirements. All internships
have a course number of 400.
Additionally, Elementary Education and Secondary Education majors are required
to complete successfully a student teaching field experience. Hotel management
majors are also required to complete successfully three supervised field experiences
for a total of 9 credits. There are no internships in art, music, or philosophy.
The adjacent is a summary of departmental internship policies.

gram of supervised reading, research, or specialized teaching methods, usually on
subjects not incorporated in existing formal courses. Independent Study shall not
be used to approximate an existing course for a single student or to cover projects
more properly described as Internships.
For one semester hour of credit, the Independent Study student should invest at
least 45 clock hours of time in reading, research, or report writing. The Independent
Study essentially involves a contract between the student and the faculty advisor.
Students may enroll for one to nine credit hours of Independent Study in any one
semester. A maximum of nine credit hours in Independent Study may be used
toward the graduation requirements. All Independent Studies have a course
number of 500. The following is a summary of departmental Independent Study

Tutorial Study
Tutorial Study provides students with a special opportunity to take an existing
formal course in the curricula that is not scheduled that semester or summer
session. Students desiring a Tutorial Study must have an appropriate member ol
the faculty agree to supervise the study on a one-on-one basis.
For one semester hour of credit, the student should invest at least 45 clock hours
of time in the Tutorial Study. The Tutorial Study essentially involves a contract
between the student and the faculty advisor. The typical Tutorial Study involves
readings, research, report writing, faculty conferences, and examinations. All
Tutorial Study courses have the same course number as the existing formal
catalog course.
Special Topics Courses
From time to time, departments may offer Special Topics courses using the
following course numbers: 290-298, 390-398, and 490-498. Special Topics courses
are formal courses that are not listed permanently in the curricula and that are
offered infrequently. These courses examine comparatively narrow subjects that
may be topical or special interest. Several different topics may be taught in one
semester or academic year. A specific course title shall be used in each instance
and shall be so noted on the student record.

Department Of Chemistry
Chemistry is the "central science" that provides the fundamental understanding
needed for protecting our environment, maximizing the yield from limited natural
resources, improving our health, and creating new materials for tomorrow's
products. Indeed, chemistry is essential to understanding life itself.
Career opportunities in chemistry are numerous and diverse. Many students
enter industrial or governmental laboratories where they find positions in envi-
ronmental analysis, quality control, or research and development. Possibilities
38
outside of the laboratory include teaching, sales, marketing, technical writing,
business, and law. Many chemistry students continue their education in graduate
school in chemistry or biochemistry, or in professional schools in the areas of
medicine, dentistry, or veterinary medicine.
At Lebanon Valley College the Department of Chemistry is located on the upper
two floors of the Garber Science Center. Major scientific equipment available to
students includes a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer, a liquid scintilla-
tion counter, a fourier transform infrared spectrometer, a high performance liquid
chromatographic system, a diode-array UV-visible spectrophotometer, and a gas
chromatograph-mass spectrometer, and an atomic absorption spectrophoto-
meter. Computers available to students in the department include Apple, Macin-
tosh, and IBM-compatible machines.
The Department encourages students to discover the excitement and challenge of
laboratory research. Research programs are conducted during both the academic
year and the summer. Students are paid for summer research either from College
funds or from grants that professors receive to support their projects.
Two degrees are available to those interested in chemistry, and one for those
interested in biochemistry. The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry is the more
demanding of the two degrees in chemistry, and is recognized by the American
Chemical Society. This degree has a required research component and is
recommended for students who wish to become practicing chemists or enroll in
graduate school. Other students opt for the standard Bachelor of Science degree,
majoring in chemistry.
For the major programs and course descriptions in chemistry, see page 74.
The major in biochemistry is offered jointly with the Biology department. For the
major program and course descriptions in biochemistry, see page 70.

important question to be answered in mechanistic organic chemistry is when and
how a reaction changes from a concerted mechanism to a multistep mechanism.
Does one mechanism evolve into another as the substrate is modified, or do two
distinct pathways exist at all times where each substrate chooses the path of
lowest energy? He is also interested in applying the most recent developments in
computers and electronics to the construction of chemical instrumentation.

Department Of Education
The Department of Education prepares students for both elementary and second-
ary teaching.
The Education Department is committed to preparing elementary education
majors who have a thorough grounding in the disciplines they will teach within the
context of a strong liberal arts foundation. The program includes intensive
40
training in the content and methodologies of all elementary school subjects.
The field-centered component in the program provides extensive and carefully
sequenced opportunities to work with teachers and children in a variety of school
settings during all four years of preparation for teaching. Majors spend an average
of two hours per week each semester in various public school classrooms,
observing teachers and children, aiding, tutoring, providing small-group and
whole-class instruction, and completing tasks on increasingly challenging levels
of involvement. Seniors spend the fall semester in full-time student teaching with
cooperating teachers who have been carefully chosen for that role. Additional
opportunities are provided for our students to work in nursery schools, child care
centers, Head Start programs, middle schools, and in classes for exceptional
children.
Students pursuing secondary teacher certification are prepared for teaching by
completing an intensive program in the departmental major* s) of their choice in
conjunction with a carefully sequenced professional education component within
the Education Department. Both the major program and the professional education
component are completed within the context of a strong foundation in the liberal
arts.
Departmental majors may seek certification in biology, chemistry, English,
French, German, Spanish, mathematics, physics, and social studies.
Opportunities are provided for candidates to observe and to teach in junior high
and high school settings prior to the full-time student teaching semester. Coop-
erating teachers are selected through a process involving college faculty, public
school personnel, and the student teachers, thus assuring the most beneficial
placements possible.
Dual certification, at both the elementary and secondary levels, or in more than
one secondary area, is possible; however, such certification requires meticulous
attention to scheduling and often requires an additional semester or two.
Post-baccalaureate certification is also available for those who wish to become
elementary or secondary school teachers or for those already certified who want
to add elementary or secondary education to an existing certificate.
The Education Department is intent on preparing well-rounded and qualified
graduates who will exercise genuinely professional and personal leadership roles
in the schools and communities where they will work.
The major and course descriptions in Elementary Education are on page 81. The

Department of English
The major in English introduces students to the humanistic study of literature or
to the humanistic practice of writing. While English majors may choose to
concentrate in literature, communications or secondary education the basis for all
concentrations is the systematic and analytic study of literature. All majors also
learn clear, concise, and coherent expression as well as effective collection,
organization, and presentation of material. Such study prepares the student for
more advanced work in many fields. Graduates of the Department of English are
42

Department Of Foreign Languages
The study of a foreign language has three aims: to develop fluency in the basic
communication skills, to provide an understanding of the cultural heritage of the
people who use the language, and to understand language as the fundamental
medium by which humankind thinks and interacts.
The Department of Foreign Languages prepares the language major for a career
in a variety of fields: teaching, diplomatic and government service, foreign trade,
business and social service. For many of these careers the study of a foreign
language is often combined with majors in other disciplines.

Department Of Mathematical Sciences
The Lebanon Valley College Department of Mathematical Sciences has long
offered a rigorous mathematics program within the context of a liberal arts
48
education. Today an increasing national need for mathematically prepared
individuals has made our program even more attractive. Computer scientists,
secondary school mathematics and computer science teachers, college professors
in mathematical sciences, actuaries, operations research analysts, and statisti-
cians are in high and continuing demand. In addition, the mental discipline and
problem solving abilities developed in the study of mathematics have long been
recognized as excellent preparation for numerous and varied areas of work or
study.
The department offers majors in actuarial science, computer science, computer
information systems, and in mathematics, and minors in computer science and in
mathematics.
Five students from this department have earned Fulbright Scholarships in recent
years for graduate study abroad. Departmental graduates have earned Ph.D.
degrees in physics and computer science as well as mathematics. Other graduates
have completed law school. Many graduates are Fellows of the Society of Actuaries
and the Casualty Actuarial Society. Regularly, more than a quarter of the
Lebanon Valley students named to the Who's Who in American Colleges and
Universities will be students from this department.
Actuarial Science
An actuary is a business professional who used mathematical training to define,
analyze and solve financial and social problems. Actuaries are employed by
insurance companies, consulting firms, large corporations, and the federal and
state governments. The Society of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society
establish and monitor the professional qualifications of actuaries through a series
of rigorous examinations. In recent years, the demand for actuaries has exceeded
the supply and indications are that the situation will continue.
The Actuarial Science program at Lebanon Valley College was established in the
mid 1960's and is coordinated by Professor Hearsey, an Associate of the Society of
Actuaries. Lebanon Valley College has 85 alumni working in the actuarial
profession. The coursework is selected to provide a foundation in mathematics,
accounting and economics and to prepare students for courses 100-150 of the
Society of Actuaries syllabus and parts 1-4 of the Casualty Actuarial Society
syllabus. A student may prepare for additional examinations through independent
study. Lebanon Valley College is the only small, undergraduate, liberal arts
college in North America with such an extensive actuarial science major. Lebanon
Valley has had 100% placement of actuarial science graduates with graduates
employed by nearly 50 organizations.
49
Computer Science
Although it has been over 40 years since the development of the first electronic,
computer, Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper said at the 1987 Lebanon Valley
College graduation exercises that "we are still in the Model T or DC-3 age so far
as computers are concerned." All of us will be working in a computer environment:
and must be able to use computers to assist us rather than have computers control
us. The United States is the world leader in most phases of the computer industry,
from the silicon chip to operating systems and other software and applications.
The department's approach to computer science is to broaden the program by
supporting it with a strong theoretical perspective, and by embedding it in the-
values of liberal education. The program is also designed to appropriately reflect
the rapidly changing technology and applications in the computer field. There-
fore, courses and equipment are constantly modified to optimize the student's
computer education and experience. New facilities with the latest technology,
were occupied in 1990, and an innovative major program provides the students
with unique opportunities to tailor studies to their individual knowledge and
interests.
The computer equipment ranges from representatives of all major microcomputers
to a DEC VAX system, many connected by networks. All major operating systems j
and languages are available and immediately accessible for course work or1
independent study.
Mathematics
The recent identification by a graduate student of an error in Sir Isaac Newton's
work and the recent development of a revised linear programming algorithm are
but two examples that clearly demonstrate that mathematics is alive and vibrant
National concerns have been expressed concerning mathematics education ir
elementary schools and the decrease in graduate studies in mathematics. Man-
agement schools continually are increasing the quantitative component in then
curriculum, and business and industry continually are looking for mathematical!}
trained individuals. The demand for teachers is well publicized. A bright anc
rewarding future awaits one choosing mathematics as a field.
The program gives the student a broad selection of courses, theoretical anc
applied, from which to choose after completing the core program. Students maj
choose preparation for graduate programs, business and industrial preparation
preparation for secondary school teaching, or such concentrations as statistics oi
operations research. Students often combine mathematics with another major oi

Military Science Program
The Military Science Program adds another dimension to a Lebanon Valley
College liberal arts education by offering courses that develop a student's ability
to organize, motivate, and lead others.
Participation in military science courses during the freshman and sophomon
years results in no military obligation. Courses during these years orient student;
on the various roles of Army officers. Specifically, these courses stress sel
development: written and oral communication skills, leadership, bearing, anc
self-confidence.
Individuals who elect to continue in the program during the junior and senio:
years shall receive a commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Arnr
upon graduation. They shall be required to serve three months to four years in thf
active Army, depending upon the type of commission.
Options are available for those individuals who encounter scheduling conflicts o
who desire to begin participation after their freshman year. Contact the Professo
of Military Science, Dickinson College, 717-245-1221, for further information.
52
Program participants may take part in various enrichment activities during the
academic year: rappelling, rifle qualification, cross-country skiing, white-water
rafting, leadership exercises, land navigation, orientation trips, and formal social
functions. Program participants may also apply for special training courses
during the summer: Russian language, airborne, air assault, and northern
warfare schools.
Financial Assistance: Books and equipment for military science courses and the
ROTC program are provided free of charge to all cadets. However, all cadets do pay
an activity fee of $20 per semester. All juniors and seniors in the ROTC program
(Advanced Course ) and scholarship cadets are paid a tax-free subsistence allowance
of $100 per month and receive certain other benefits.
Scholarships: Army ROTC scholarships based on merit are available. Recipients
receive 80% tuition, academic fees, a semester allowance for books and supplies,
and a $100 per month subsistence allowance. Cadets and other Lebanon Valley
students may compete for three-year (starts in sophomore year) and for two-year
(starts in junior year) scholarships. Recipients agree to a service obligation. For
additional information, contact the Professor of Military Science, Dickinson
College, 717-245-1221.
Corresponding Studies Program: Students participating in an off-campus
study program in the United States or abroad may continue participation in either
the Army ROTC Basic Course or Advanced Course and receive the same course
credit and benefits as a student enrolled in the on-campus program. Scholarship
students also are eligible to participate in this program.
Advanced Leadership Practicum: The practicum consists of a six-week
summer training program at an Army installation that stresses the application of
j military skills to rapidly changing situations. Participants are evaluated on their
j ability to make sound decisions, to direct group efforts toward the accomplishment
j of common goals and to meet the mental and physical challenges presented to
;them. Completion of this practicum is required prior to commissioning and is
normally attended between the junior and senior years. Participants receive
room, board, travel expenses, medical care, and pay.

59
individuals, groups, and institutions. Many pre-law students major in this
discipline (see page 124 for offerings in the pre-law program). Other majors have
gone on to graduate school or careers in politics.
Economists study the factors which explain the behavior of the economic system
and economic factors in that system. Graduates in one of the two economics majors
may go on to graduate school or to jobs in the private sector or government.
Both disciplines emphasize an understanding of the public policy process. They
are designed to provide a sound knowledge of essential principles and problems
within a broad liberal arts education.

Department Of Psychology
It is the human psyche which permits and defines human endeavors. All people
have similar sensory and perceptual processes, motivations, emotions, personal-
ity traits, and developmental sequences. These factors, the major explanatory
constructs in psychology, form the structure which defines a human and at the
same time makes an individual unique from others. The study of psychology is the
study of how you are the same as other people as well as how you are different.
Psychology focuses on your behavior, as opposed to mental events, to make its
explanations objective and scientific.
The goal of psychology is the scientific description and explanation of behavior.
The objective is advanced in diverse ways: from laboratory experiments on animal
behavior at one extreme to clinical settings having therapeutic behavioral goals
at the other. This diversity makes psychology integral to fields such as business,
education, and medicine, and makes it the focus of any liberal arts education.
The undergraduate major in psychology at Lebanon Valley College is well
rounded. It includes elements of a general education in psychology as well as
elements more specially tailored to each student's specific career training. Some
students completing the major have gone on to prestigious graduate schools while
others have utilized their undergraduate training to take jobs in their specialty
areas immediately upon graduation. The departmental degree requirements are
sensitive to this career diversity.
The courses in psychology, required of all psychology majors, include: The
Individual and Society (PSY 100), Experimental Psychology ( PSY 120), Advanced
General Psychology (PSY 200), Psychological Statistics (PSY 216), Learning and
Memory (PSY 236), Personality (PSY 343), and the History of Psychology (PSY
443). These courses provide a firm foundation for specialization in any of the
content areas of psychology.
The student majoring in psychology is also required to specialize in one of
psychology's five content areas: (1) clinical/counseling/school psychology; (2)
experimental psychology; (3) developmental psychology; (4) industrial/organ-
izational psychology; or (5) social psychology. The three required courses in an
area of specialization are intended to link the liberal arts background to specific
career goals.
In addition to these general and specialized courses, all psychology majors are
encouraged to participate in the educational process beyond the classroom
through individual studies, laboratory research, and internships. The depart-
ment is committed to providing opportunities for work experiences as a component
of the psychology major.

Department Of Religion And Philosophy
The study of religion is designed to give students insight into the meaning of the
religious dimension of human experience. Coursework introduces students to
various historical and contemporary expressions of the Judaeo-Christian heritage
as well as to the diverse religious traditions of humankind. In general, students
major in religion to ready themselves for theological seminary, for careers in
Christian education, or to acquire the theological maturity which, in combination
with another major, will enable them to function as lay ministers in their chosen
profession.
The study of philosophy directly involves the student in the process of sharpening
critical and analytical abilities. In all classes emphasis is placed upon the writing
of critical and analytical essays dealing with various aspects of philosophical
thought as it pertains to the questions and issues of knowledge, human values and
conduct, history, politics, religion, science, society, and the nature of human
beings.
The study of philosophy may prepare the student for postgraduate activities such
as legal studies, business, or theological and seminary training.
The major, minor, and course requirements in philosophy are on page 117. Those
in religion, including the concentration in Christian education, are on page 129.

Department Of Sociology And Social Work
The major in sociology gives students an understanding of human behavior. By
examining the social and cultural forces that shape our lives, students gain a
64
richer understanding of themselves and contemporary social issues. Sociology
explores how and why people behave as they do as well as the effects of their
behavior on others. In an economy that is moving from a manufacturing base to
a service orientation, graduates in sociology are prepared to work in fields where
an understanding of the dynamics of human relationships is important.
The social work major prepares students for beginning professional practice in a
variety of social work settings. The major emphasizes the generalist approach by
offering a solid foundation of core courses based on social work theory and practice.
The program also provides students the opportunity to focus upon areas of
personal and professional interest by choosing a concentration in such areas as
criminal justice, family intervention, and the aged and aging/death and dying.
