THE MISSION OF THE COLLEGE
Lebanon Valley is a small, private, liberal arts college. Its mission arises directly from its
historical traditions and a relationship with the United Methodist Church.
The College's aim is to enable our students to become people of broad vision, capable of
making informed decisions, and prepared for a life of service to others. To that end we seek
to provide an education that helps students to acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and
values necessary to live and work in a changing, diverse, and fragile world.
Through both curricular and co-curricular activities we endeavor to acquaint our students
with humanity's most significant ideas and accomplishments, to develop their abilities to
think logically and communicate clearly, to give them practice in precise analysis and
effective performance, and to enhance their sensitivity to and appreciation of differences
among human beings.
Lebanon Valley College aspires to pursue this mission within a community in which caring
and concern for others is a core value. We value strong and nurturing faculty interacting
closely with students; encourage individual student development; and affirm the interrelat-
edness of liberal learning and the ideal of vocation. We regard the cultivation of wisdom, that
is the capacity of judging rightly in manners of life and conduct, and a life-long love of
learning as the ultimate rewards of the educational experience.
The motto of the college is, "You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free"
(John 8:32).
President G. David Pollick meets with students for an informal discussion.

Alternative Payment Plan
Lebanon Valley College offers a payment plan for those families who, after exploring other
options, prefer to spread payments over a 10-month period. Two agents have been appointed
to process deferred payment applications:
Knight College Resource Group EduServ Tuition Installment Plan

Boston, MA 021 16 P.O. Box 3011
Phone: 1-800-225-6783 Winston-Salem, NC 27102-301 1
Phone: 1-800-851-4770
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 - 11 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 ha\e recei\ed 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 must only 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 17-867-62 1 3 in Annville
or 717-399^419 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 7-399^4 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 five baccalaureate degrees. Bachelor of Arts for students
completing requirements in the following major programs: American studies, economics,
Enghsh, French, German, history, music, philosophy, pohtical science, psychology, religion,
sociology, Spanish and certain individualized majors.

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
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 is a federal law which provides
students the right to review their academic records, the right to challenge the contents of their
records, and the right to confidentiality of their records.
The Buckley Amendment allows the disclosure of basic directory data and. in the case of
athletes, extends that information to relevant personal data and accomplishments. The
College Relations Office uses permissible information from students" records to report on
social and academic accomplishments.
Annually, Lebanon Valley College informs students of the Family Educational Rights and ^
Privacy Act of 1 974, as amended. This Act, with which the institution intends to comply fully, "^
was designated to protect the privacy of education records, to establish the right of students ^
to inspect and review their education records, and to provide guidelines for the correction of ^
inaccurate or misleading data through informal and formal hearings. Students also have the '^
right to file complaints with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office (FERPA) ^
concerning alleged failures by the institution to comply with the act. ^^
Local policy explains in detail the procedures to be used by the institution for compliance with '^
the provisions of the Act. Copies of the policy can be found in the following offices: Office ^
of the Registrar, Office of Student Services and Office of the Dean of the Faculty. The policy '^
is also printed in the Faculty Advising Handbook. The offices mentioned also maintain a '^
Directory of Records which lists all education records maintained on students by this ^
institution. -^
Questions concerning the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act may be referred to the ^
Registrar's Office. "^
Credit Hours S
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. sw
C
Candidates lOr 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 the bachelor's 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 requirements, 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.
c:
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. f^
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 s^
The college reserves the right to withdraw or discontinue any course. ^
Registration and Pre registration ^-^
Students are required to register for courses on designated days of each semester. Preference ^
is given to upperclass students in the preregistration process to ensure registration in courses ^
required for their major fields of study. 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 W^
have completed 60 credit hours. r,
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 C
Students may register to audit courses with the approval of their academic adviser. Audited '—
10 ^
courses are counted in considering the course load relative to the limit of hours which may
result in an overload charge. 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 tenth week
of semester classes.
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 10 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 at 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
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.
11
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 ^
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 dean -^^
of 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 senior vice ^
president 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 senior vice ^
president 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 n»,
obtained from the director of continuing education. Readmission of a student requires written --
permission from the senior vice president and dean of the faculty. ^^
Advanced Placement Q_
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 C^
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. _
r-
12 ^
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 . No more than three credits from student teaching (SED 440, ELM 440 and MSC 44 1 ) may
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 more than three credits from internships may 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
for general and subject examinations. The English composition essay is required with a
minimum score of 480 and at the 80th percentile for this CLEP examination.
13
A maximum of six credits shall be awarded for each examination ; of these credits , only three /^
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 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 senior ^
vice president and dean of the faculty. 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 senior vice
president and dean of the faculty. ^»
Expenential credit cannot exceed six credit hours in one academic year and cannot exceed ^
a maximum of twelve credit hours in the degree program. ^»
w
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 C^
course, students receive the following quality points: ,-»-
A
4.00

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; Wollongong University, Australia; Monash
University, Australia; Regents College, London; Anglia Polytechnic University, England;
Lancaster University, England; The Athens Centre, Greece; Universite de Montpellier,
France; Universidad de Salamanca, Spain; and the Washington Semester Program are used
to determine grade point averages.
Continuing education degree candidates admitted before July 1 , 1 989 must meet graduation

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 ^
26 C
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
xisting course or to cover projects more properly described as internships. Junior or senior
tanding 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
ours of time in reading, research, or report writing. The independent study involves a
ontract between the student and the faculty member (contract instructor) who will oversee
he study. Written application forms regarding the independent study are available in the
ffice of the registrar. The forms must be completed by the student and approved by the
tudent's faculty adviser, the contract instructor and the department chairperson.
tudents may enroll in a maximum of three credit hours per independent study in any one
^emester. A maximum of six credit hours in independent study may be used toward the
;raduation requirements. All independent studies have a course number of 500.
Tutorial Study
utorial 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
utorial study must have an appropriate member of the faculty agree to supervise the study
)n a one-on-one basis.
27
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, 490^98 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.

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.
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 scintillation counter, a fourier transform infrared spectrometer, a high
performance liquid chromatographic system, a diode-array UV-visible and Roman spectro-
photometer, a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer, and an atomic absorption
spectrophotometer. Computers available to students in the department include 10 Power
Macintosh computers in the Molecular Modeling Laboratory.
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 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 mathematics, and minors in computer science and mathematics.
Five students from this department have earned Fulbright Scholarships in recent years for
graduate study abroad. Graduates have earned Ph.D.s in economics, physics, statistics and
computer science as well as mathematics. Other graduates have completed law school. Many
are Fellows of the Society of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society. Regularly, many
of the department's students are named to the Who's Who in American Colleges and
Universities.
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. Well over
100 of the college's alumni work 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^ of the Casualty Actuarial
Society syllabus. A student may prepare for additional examinations through independent
study. Lebanon Valley is the only small undergraduate liberal arts college in North America
with such an extensive actuarial science major. The college has had nearly 100 percent
placement of actuarial science graduates, with graduates employed by over 50 organizations.

Mathematics Program
The increasing role of technology in modem society and the broadening scope of the
scientific paradigm have generated a growing need for mathematicians in business, industry
and government. Also, the national goal of improving the mathematical competence of high
school graduates has created a demand for teachers and professors in mathematics that will
not subside for many years. — ;
The department, highlighted in the Mathematical Association of America's 1995 publica- ^, ^
tion. Models that Work, continues its reputation of preparing its students for a variety of ^ ":
78
mathematical specialties by maintaining high standards of performance. A full roster of
traditional courses, seminars, and independent study prepares our students for a career or
graduate study.
A group of core courses sets the foundations of mathematical knowledge and gives the
student time to discover the direction of his or her interest. Advanced courses prepare the
student for graduate study, the teaching profession, and a variety of careers in statistics,
operations research, and research and development in industry and business.
Close cooperation with other departments allows the student also to have a major or minor
in another field to enhance the opportunities after graduation.

MILITARY SCIENCE PROGRAM
The Military Science Program adds another dimension to a Lebanon Valley College liberal
arts education with courses that develop a student's ability to organize, motivate and lead.
Participation in military science courses during the freshman and sophomore years results in
no military obligation. Courses during these years orient students on the various roles of
Army officers. Specifically, these courses stress self-development: written and oral commu-
nication skills, leadership, bearing and self-confidence.
Individuals who elect to continue in the program during the junior and senior years will
receive a commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Army, The U.S. Army
Reserve or The Army National Guard, upon graduation. Then they will 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
program are provided free of charge to all cadets. All juniors and seniors in the ROTC
program (Advanced Course) and scholarship cadets are paid a tax-free subsistence allow-
ance of $150 per month and receive certain other benefits.
Scholarships: Army ROTC scholarships based on merit are available. Scholarships are
awarded in four varieties or tiers. Tier I provides $12,800 annually in tuition assistance
coupled with $450 in book fees and $150 per month ($1,500 annually) in spending money.
Tier II provides $9,000 annually with the same book fee and spending allowance. Tier III
provides $5,000 annually, with the same book fee and spending allowance. Tier IV provides
$3,000 annually and the monthly spending allowance. Cadets and other Lebanon Valley
students may compete for three-year and two-year scholarships. Recipients agree to a service
obligation. Lebanon Valley will provide a supplement to the Tier I and II scholarships. For
more information, contact the Professor of Military Science at 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.
Advanced Leadership Practicum: The practicum consists of a six-week summer training
program at an Army installation that stresses the application of military skills to rapidly
changing situations. Participants are evaluated on their ability to make sound decisions, to
direct group efforts toward the accomplishment 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.

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 (PSY
100), General Psychology (PSY 1 10), Experimental Psychology (PSY 210), Psychological
Statistics (PSY 216), Sophomore Seminar (PSY 299), 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 and counseling psychology
(2) experimental psychology
(3) developmental and school 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.
