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 perspective 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
qualities 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.

options, prefer to spread payments over a 10-month period. Two agents have been appointed
to process deferred payment applications:
Academic Management Services, Inc. T.I.P.
50 Vision Boulevard (Tuition Installment Plan)
P.O. Box 14608 P.O.Box 2541

The college has no financial interest in either of these plans and offers them as a convenience
to students and parents.
Continuing Education Office
Students may enroll part-time at Lebanon Valley College through Continuing Education.
Students are considered part-time if they are enrolled for 0 - 1 1 credit hours per semester.
The Continuing Education Office offers credit programs on four levels: certificate, associate,
baccalaureate, and diploma. Certificates are starter programs that approximate the beginning
of a four-year college experience, 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.
A second bachelor's degree may be awarded to adult students who already have received a
bachelor of arts or sciences from Lebanon Valley or another accredited college or university.
Meeting with a continuing education counselor is required
prior to registering for courses.
In such cases, students only must complete the major requirements for the second degree or
a minimum of 30 credits, whichever is greater.
Courses taught through Continuing Education are offered during evenings, weekend and
summer sessions on the main campus in Annville and through our Lancaster Center on the
Franklin & Marshall College Campus. The Continuing Education Office publishes course
schedules for the fall, spring and summer sessions. To obtain copies of course schedules or
get detailed information on all academic programs for adults call 7 1 7-867-62 1 3 in Annville
or 717-399^4419 in Lancaster or write Continuing Education Office, Lebanon Valley
College, Annville, PA 17003-0501.
A candidate for admission to any of Lebanon Valley College's Continuing Education degree
programs must submit a completed application form with the required application fee. An
official high school transcript is required if students have less than 24 semester hours of
transferable college credits. Students planning to transfer to Lebanon Valley 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 courses. To arrange an admission interview with a counselor call 717-867-
62 1 3 in Annville or 7 1 7-399-44 1 9 in Lancaster. 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
possible, 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 six baccalaureate degrees. Bachelor of Arts for students
completing requirements in the following major programs: American studies, economics,
English, French, German, history, music, philosophy, political science, psychology, religion,
sociology, Spanish and certain individualized majors.
Bachelor of Science for students completing requirements in the following major programs:
accounting, actuarial science, health care management, biochemistry, biology, chemistry,
computer information systems, computer science, cooperative engineering, cooperative
forestry, elementary education, hotel management, international business, management,
mathematics, music education, physics, psychobiology, and certain individualized majors.
Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology, and Bachelor
of Music: Emphasis in Sound Recording Technology for students completing requirements
for the appropriate major program.
Associate Degrees
Through the Continuing Education Office part-time students may earn the Associate of
Science degree in accounting, general studies or management, or the Associate of Arts degree
in general studies.
Privacy of Student Records
In accordance with the Family Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 the college releases no 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
necessary arrangements.
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 shall complete successfully 1 20 credit hours including
the requirements for the general education program (see page 19), and the requirements for
majors and minors as appropriate. Credit hours are accumulated in three separate categories:
general education requirements, major requirements, and electives.
In addition, candidates shall complete successfully two units of physical education selected
from a list of approved activities. Students shall not satisfy the physical education
requirement by taking the same activity unit twice. Students shall have a maximum of one
physical education unit waived for successful completion of any of the following: one season
of a varsity sport, one semester of marching band, or one semester of military science.
Continuing education students are exempt from the physical education requirement.
Candidates for an associate's degree must accumulate at least 60 credit hours including the
course work appropriate to their major program. Fifteen of the last 1 8 credit hours toward the
degree must be in residence.
Candidates for a degree must obtain a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 and a major
grade point average of 2.00
The general education program is that part of the curriculum that is shared by all students in
all majors. The required courses reflect 54-56 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.
Advising Program
Each student has a faculty adviser whose role is to counsel about registration procedures,
course selections, academic requirement, and regulations. The student is required to obtain
the adviser's counsel and approval before registration, withdrawal, election of pass/fail
option, and/or change in credit/audit status.
Arrangement of Schedules
Each student arranges a semester program of courses in consultation with, and by approval
of, his or her faculty adviser. 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 12 credit hours in a semester.
Seventeen credit hours is the maximum permitted without approval from the student's
adviser and permission of the registrar. Audited courses are counted in determining the
course load, but 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 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 accredited institution
shall send an official transcript to the dean of admission. 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 accredited 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.
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.
On entering Lebanon Valley College students indicate that they are open or that they have
a particular intended major. Students may make a formal declaration of major during the
second semester of their freshmen year, and must make a formal declaration by the time they
have completed 60 credit hours.
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 adviser. 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 adviser, a student may withdraw from a course
during the first ten (10) weeks of the semester. However, first semester freshmen may
withdraw from a course at any time through the last day of semester classes with permission
of the adviser. 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 adviser. 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.
10
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 elected by students to
be taken pass/fail may be used to meet the requirements of the general education program,
the major(s), the minor(s), and secondary education certification. 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 may repeat as often as desired, for a higher grade, a previously taken course, subject
to the following provisions: the course must have been taken in courses staffed by the college
at the Annville campus and/or the Lancaster center or Pennsylvania School of Art & Design
in Lancaster. Semester hours credit are given only once. The grade received each time taken
is computed in the semester grade point average. Each semester grade report will show hours
credit each time passed, but the total hours toward a degree will be equal only to the semester
hours credit for the course. For a course previously passed P/F, the grade received in the
subsequent registration for regular grade is the "higher grade." Each grade received remains
on the permanent record and a notation is made thereon that the course has been repeated.
Concurrent Courses
A student enrolled for a degree at Lebanon Valley College may not carry courses concur-
rently at any other institution without prior consent of his or her adviser 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
adviser 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 first
ten (10) 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.
In-Absentia
The college treats students in domestic or foreign study programs and in the Washington
Semester Program as students-in-absentia. Any student who studies for a semester or
academic year at another institution but with the intent of returning to the college is
11
considered a matriculated student. A student desiring in-absentia status should complete the
form in the registrar's office and secure the approval of the adviser, the registrar and the
associate dean for international programs. Students will receive information on registration
and room sign-up after they notify the registrar of their address abroad or in the United States.
Leave of Absence
For reasons of health or in other compelling circumstances students may request a voluntary
leave from the college for one or two semesters. A student desiring such a leave should
complete the form available from the registrar and secure the approval of the vice president
of the college and dean of the faculty. Students on leave are regarded as continuing students
and retain their status for registration or room sign-up. Students on leave will receive
information on those procedures and will be asked to verify their return. The college reserves
the right to require a leave of absence for medical reasons at any time it is deemed reasonably
necessary to protect the student, other students, members of the college community, or the
interests of the college itself. Before a student returns from a medical leave of absence, a
clearance interview with one of the counseling psychologists, the dean of students or the vice
president of the college and dean of the faculty as well as additional documentation may be
required.
Withdrawal from College and Readmission
To withdraw from college a student must complete an official withdrawal form obtained from
the registrar. Continuing education students must complete an official withdrawal form
obtained from the director of continuing education. Readmission of a student requires written
permission from the vice president of the college and dean of the faculty.
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 successfully 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.
12
5. Credits from student teaching (SED 440, ELM 440 and MSC 441) 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. Credits from internships may not be counted toward a second degree.
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 1 5 credits toward an associate's degree through
non-traditional means (experiential credit, advanced placement, CLEP, challenge exams).
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 academic advisers. Part-time
students and those students enrolled through the continuing education program should make
application of challenge exams through the Continuing Education Office. 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.
13
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 their academic advisers. Students enrolled in the
Continuing Education program must petition through the Continuing Education Office. This
petition must:
(1) detail the relevant experience in question
(2) provide appropriate supporting evidence
(3) note the equivalent college course by department and number
(4) state the number of credit hours sought.
The appropriate department will consult with the academic adviser or the Continuing
Education Office 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 adviser, 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 vice president of the college and
dean of the faculty.
Experiential credit cannot exceed six credit hours in one academic year and cannot exceed
a maximum of twelve credit hours in the degree program.
Students take a break between classes.
14
Grading Systems and Grade Point Averages
Student work is graded A (excellent), B (good), C (satisfactory), 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:
A
4.00
A-
3.67
B+
3.33
B
3.00
B-
2.67
C+
2.33
C
2.00
C-
1.67
D+
1.33
D
1.00
D-
.67
F
.00
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, the
Lebanon Valley College in Cologne Program, the Regent's College Study Abroad Programme
and the Washington Semester Program are used to determine grade point averages.
Continuing education degree candidates admitted before July 1, 1989 must meet graduation
requirements by earning a cumulative grade point average of 1.75. All students and
continuing education candidates admitted after July 1, 1989 must meet graduation require-
ments 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 and W 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 tenth week of semester classes except for
first-semester freshmen who may withdraw from a course through the last day of the
semester. 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
The Dean s List
Students achieving a 3 .40 or higher grade point average while carrying at least 1 2 credit hours

Students graduating with grade point averages of 3.50 or higher are eligible for induction into
Phi Alpha Epsilon, provided they have earned a minimum of 60 credit hours of residence
work.
Academic Dishonesty
Students are expected to uphold the principles of academic honesty. Academic dishonesty
shall not be tolerated.
For the first academic dishonesty offense, no action shall be taken beyond failure from the
course, at the option of the faculty member. A letter of warning shall be sent to the student
by the vice president of the college and dean of the faculty, explaining the policy regarding
further offenses, and the right of appeal.
For a second offense, failure in the course is mandatory, and the dean shall so inform the
faculty member(s) involved. Additionally, the vice president of the college and dean of the
faculty has the authority to take further action, up to and including expulsion from the college.
For a third offense, failure in the course and expulsion from the college are mandatory.
The vice president of the college and dean of the faculty has the authority to make a
determination of whether actions or reasonable suspicions of actions by a student constitute
academic dishonesty "offenses" as above.
16
Information related to academic dishonesty offenses must be passed by the faculty member
to the vice president of the college and dean of the faculty. The dean shall retain the
information for at least as long as the student involved is enrolled at the college. Information
and evidence concerning academic dishonesty are the property of the college.
All actions against a student for academic dishonesty offenses can be appealed to the vice
president of the college and dean of the faculty, who will serve as final arbiter.

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 opportunities to integrate their classroom
learning with on-the-job experiences and to test practical applications of their liberal arts
education in a variety of settings.
To be eligible for an internship sponsored by an academic department or program, a student
generally will have junior or senior standing. Students must request and receive permission
from departmental chairpersons or program directors to enroll in internships. The student
must also enlist a faculty internship supervisor from the department sponsoring the internship
and an on-site internship supervisor from the internship location. Application forms for
internships are available in the office of the registrar. The application form shall be completed
by the student and approved by the student's academic adviser, faculty internship supervisor,
on-site internship supervisor, and the department chairperson prior to registration.
For each semester hour of credit, the intern should invest at least 45 hours of time at the
internship location. Academic departments and programs establish other specific criteria and
procedures for internships. In addition to the practical on-site experience, internships have
an academic component which may include readings, reports, journals, seminars, and/or
faculty conferences. A student may enroll for 1-12 credit hours of internship during any one
semester. A student may use a maximum of 12 credit hours of internship to meet graduation
requirements. All internships have a course number of 400.
Independent Study
Independent study provides an opportunity to undertake a program of supervised reading,
research, or creative work not incorporated in existing formal courses. The independent study
should result in a formal document. Independent study shall not be used to approximate an
existing course or to cover projects more properly described as internships. Junior or senior
standing and a minimum GPA of 2.00 are required.
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 involves a
contract between the student and the faculty member (contract instructor) who will oversee
the study. Written application forms regarding the independent study will be available in the
office of the registrar. The forms must be completed by the student and approved by the
student's faculty adviser, the contract instructor and the department chairperson.
29
Students may enroll in a maximum of three credit hours per independent study in any one
semester. A maximum of six credit hours in independent study may be used toward the
graduation requirements. All independent studies have a course number of 500.
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 of 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 adviser. 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, 490^198 and 590. 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.
Study Abroad
Students have opportunity for study abroad through the college's membership in the
International Student Exchange Program, which consists of a network of more than 150
colleges and universities in 24 countries. Additionally, the college has affiliation agreements
with Regent's College in London; Anglia Polytechnic University, England; and The Athens
Centre, Greece. A consortium consisting of Allegheny College, Gettysburg College and
Lebanon Valley College sponsors a Program in Cologne, Germany. The college also assists
students in locating and gaining admission to other foreign study programs; however
participation in programs other than the International Student Exchange Program may affect
the level of financial aid provided. In all cases, the proposed course of study must be approved
by the appropriate department. See In- Absentia on page 1 1 .
Washington Semester Program
Juniors and seniors in any major field, who have at least a 2.5 grade point average and have
had basic courses in American national government, are eligible to participate in this program
with approval of their department chairperson. This program is offered in cooperation with
The American University in Washington, D.C. Information is available from the chairperson
of the Department of Political Science and Economics. See In-Absentia on page 11.

DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY
Chemistry Program
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 environmental analysis, quality
control, or research and development. Possibilities 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 two
nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers, a liquid scintillation counter, a fourier transform
infrared spectrometer, a high performance liquid chromatographic system, a diode-array
UV-visible spectrophotometer, a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer, and an atomic
absorption spectrophotometer. Computers available to students in the department include
Macintosh 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, majoring in chemistry.
The major in biochemistry is offered jointly with the Biology Department. For the major
program and course descriptions in biochemistry, see page 34.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
The Department of Education prepares students for both elementary and secondary teaching.
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.
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 additional semesters.
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.

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 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 ana-
lysts, and statisticians 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, applied computer
science, 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.s in physics, statistics 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, nearly one-sixth of the Lebanon Valley students named to the Who's Who in
American Colleges and Universities will be students from this department.
Actuarial Science Program
An actuary is a business professional who uses 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 quali-
fications of actuaries through a series of rigorous examinations.
The Actuarial Science program at Lebanon Valley College was established in the mid 1960s
and is coordinated by Professor Hearsey, an Associate of the Society of Actuaries. Lebanon
Valley College has nearly 100 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 \^\ 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 American with such an extensive actuarial science major. Lebanon
Valley has had nearly 100 percent placement of actuarial science graduates, with graduates
employed by over 50 organizations.

nication skills, leadership, bearing and self-confidence.
Individuals who elect to continue in the program during the junior and senior years shall
receive a commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Army upon graduation. They
shall be required to serve three months to four years in the active Army, depending upon the
type of commission.
Options are available for those individuals who encounter scheduling conflicts or who desire
to begin participation after their freshman year. Contact the Professor of Military Science,
Dickinson College, 717-245-1221, for further information.
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: airborne, air assault and
northern warfare schools.
Financial Assistance: Books and equipment for military science courses and the ROTC

DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC
Students in the Department of Music may major in one of three areas: music, music education,
or sound recording technology. Each student, regardless of major, is required to take a core
of courses in music theory and music history. Each student also completes additional course
work particular to his/her area of interest.
Music Program
Music majors will exhibit proficiency at the piano and in voice, each to be determined by jury.
Precise requirements for these proficiencies and the Recital Attendance requirement are

students can take MSC 5 1 0 and/or 520. Music majors will be in at least one major performing
ensemble (identified as either Marching Band, Symphonic Band, Concert Choir, or Sym-
phony Orchestra) each fall and spring semester. All students may earn up to 12 credits for
ensemble participation. They will enroll in private study on their principal instrument/voice
during each fall and spring semester.
Students registered for private instruction in the department are not permitted to study in that
instructional area on a private basis with another instructor, on or off campus, at the same
time.
Degree Requirements:
The Bachelor of Arts in Music (B. A.) is designed for those students preparing for a career in
music with a strong liberal arts background. All B.A. candidates will take an hour lesson per
week in their principal performance medium. The Theory/Composition concentration
students will take 530 private applied and 530 individual composition each semester to fulfill
this requirement. B.A. in Music students are expected to give a one-half junior recital, and

DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS
Physics Program
Physics, the most fundamental science of the physical world, combines the excitement of
experimental discovery and the beauty of mathematics. The program in physics at Lebanon
Valley College is designed to develop an understanding of the fundamental laws dealing with
motion, force, energy, heat, light, electricity and magnetism, atomic and nuclear structure,
and the properties of matter.
Students major in physics as a preparation for professional careers in industry as physicists
and engineers, and education as high school and college teachers. Other possibilities include
technical writing, sales and marketing. Physics students can continue their professional
training by going to graduate school in physics and engineering, or to other professional
schools offering degrees in such fields as health physics and business.
The facilities of the Physics Department are located on the fourth floor of the Garber Science
Center. In addition to the introductory physics laboratory, the department maintains an x-ray
laboratory, optics laboratory, atomic physics laboratory, electronics laboratory, and nuclear
physics laboratory. Students majoring in physics also have the opportunity to use equipment
(e.g., electron microscope, mass spectrometer, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer)
maintained by other science departments.
Students majoring in physics take advantage of close contact with faculty, work as paid
laboratory assistants, pursue independent study or research, and participate in the local
chapter of the Society of Physics Students. Summer research opportunities, supported by
college funds or external grants, are available for physics students.
Students majoring in physics also have a unique opportunity for study abroad. A student can
spend a semester, typically in the senior year, as a physics student at the University of Surrey
in England. This opportunity combines a continuing education in physics with the richness
of an international experience.
The Physics Department also directs the "3+2" Engineering program. For details see

DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY
Psychology Program
The goal of psychology is the scientific description and explanation of behavior. This goal
is approached in diverse ways: from laboratory experiments on animal behavior at one
extreme, to clinical interventions having therapeutic behavioral objectives at the other. This
diversity makes psychology important to fields such as business, education, and medicine,
and makes it an integral part of any liberal arts education.
The undergraduate major in psychology at Lebanon Valley College incorporates many
aspects of psychology. It includes elements of a general education as well as elements more
specially tailored to each student's 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.
Degree Requirements:
The courses required of all psychology majors, include: The Individual and Society (PS Y
100), General Psychology (PSY 1 10), Experimental Psychology (PSY 120), Psychological
Statistics (PSY 216), 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 expected to focus in one of four content areas:
(1) clinical/counseling/school psychology
(2) experimental psychology
(3) developmental psychology
(4) industrial/organizational 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 independent studies,
laboratory research, and internships. The department is committed to providing opportuni-
ties for work experiences as a component of the psychology major.

Graduate Program Policies and Procedures
MBA Admissions
All candidates must have a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university.
All candidates must submit a current resume and a completed application form with the
required application fee. They must take a GMAT examination and have the official test
results sent to the MBA Office. Official transcripts of all undergraduate work and any
graduate courses to be considered for transfer must be sent by the respective colleges or
universities to the MBA Office. An individual interview is strongly recommended.
Graduate admissions are on a rolling basis; action will be taken quickly after all paperwork
has been processed.
Academic Advising and Registration
MBA students should meet with the MBA academic adviser prior to class registration. The
adviser will develop a graduation plan with the student. All course registrations require the
MBA adviser's signature.
Veteran Registration
The college meets all of the criteria of Veterans Education under the provisions of Title 38,
United States Code, Section 1775. The MBA program has been approved for payment
assistance. Veterans pay the cost of tuition, fees, books and supplies directly to the college.
They are reimbursed by the Veterans Administration on a monthly basis. Applicants having
any questions concerning their veteran's benefits should contact the college's veterans
representative in the Registrar's Office.
Graduation Requirements
A candidate for the MBA must complete a maximum of 36 credits, of which 27 must be
earned at Lebanon Valley College. There are nine required core courses (27 credits) and three
electives of the student's choice (9 credits) for a total of 36 credits. A candidate must achieve
at least a 3.00 cumulative average with a maximum of two C's within the 36 graduate credits
to be certified for graduation.
Transfer Credit
A maximum of nine credits (a maximum of six core credits) may be transferred from another
128
accredited graduate program with the approval of the MBA program director and the
registrar. No transfer credit shall be accepted if the grade earned at another institution was
less than B. Students wishing to transfer credits may be asked to submit course outline,
textbook used, and any reading materials so proper credit may be given.
Concurrent Courses
A student enrolled for the MBA degree may not take courses concurrently at another
educational institution without prior consent of the MBA academic adviser and the registrar.
Grading
Student work is graded A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, and F. Candidates must maintain a grade
point average of 3.00 with a maximum of two C grades in the program.
In addition, the symbols I and W are used. I indicates work that is incomplete but otherwise
satisfactory. It is awarded only for substantial reason and work must be completed in the first
eight weeks of the following semester, including summer session, or I will be changed to F.
W indicates withdrawal from a course through the first 10 weeks. Thereafter, the appropriate
letter grade will be assigned for the course.
No MBA course may be taken pass/fail.
Review Procedure
Every student's academic progress shall be reviewed at the end of each academic period by
the MBA academic adviser. Any student whose average falls below 3.00 or who earns a C
or F in three or more credit hours may be placed on academic probation. A student on
academic probation may be required to retake courses or correct other academic deficiencies
and must achieve a 3.00 cumulative average within two semesters of being placed on
probation. A student may repeat a maximum of two graduate courses with any given course
being repeated only once. Students who fail to correct deficiencies may be dropped from the
program. A student may appeal any decision of the MBA director to the MBA Advisory
Committee.
Course Withdrawal and Tuition Refund
Any student who withdraws from courses for which he or she is registered must notify the
MBA adviser in writing. The effective date of withdrawal is the date on which the student
notifies the office. Failure to give notice of withdrawal will result in a grade of F. Notifying
the instructor does not constitute official withdrawal.
A refund schedule based on official withdrawal date is published in the semester brochure.
Time Restriction
The maximum time for completion of the MBA program is seven years from the date of the
admission letter. Students who have not earned the graduate degree during this period shall
129
have their academic standing reviewed and may be asked to meet additional requirements
in order to graduate.
Academic Dishonesty
Students are expected to uphold the principles of academic honesty. Academic dishonesty
will not be tolerated.
For the first academic dishonesty offense, failure in the course is mandatory, and the faculty
member is required to inform the MBA program director in writing. A letter of warning shall
be sent to the student by the MBA program director explaining the consequences and the right
of appeal.
For the second offense, failure in the course and expulsion from the MBA program and
college are mandatory and without appeal.
Address Changes
Any change of address must be reported to the MBA Office as soon as possible. A forwarding
address should also be given to the Postal Service.
Privacy of Student Records
In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (P.L. 39-380)
Lebanon Valley College releases no student education records without written consent and
request of the student or as prescribed by the law. Each student has access to his or her
education records with exclusions only as specified by the law.
Financial Aid
Students may participate in the Stafford Loan Program, a low, simple-interest loan that is
available from most lending institutions.
Graduate students should contact the Financial Aid Office at 717-867-6181 to discuss
financial aid.
Employee Tuition Reimbursement
Students are encouraged to inquire about tuition reimbursement programs at their places of
employment. Most employers of current students provide education subsidies of 50-100%
of tuition. Some employers authorize the college to bill them directly. In this case, students
must present billing authorization when they register.
Withdrawal from Program and College and Readmission
To withdraw from Lebanon Valley College, an MBA student must complete an official
withdrawal form obtained from the MBA academic adviser. To apply for readmission, an
MBA student must have the written approval of the MBA program director.
