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 matters 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).

according to the federal policy established by the Higher Education Amendments of 1992.
The pro-rata refund policy applies to new students whose date of withdraw is within the first
60 percent of the semester for which the student has been billed. This refund policy allows
for a refund of tuition, fees, room and board for the portion of the semester for which the
student has been charged that remains in this period but for which the student will not be

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. An agent has been
appointed to process deferred payment applications:
Academic Management Services
OneAMS Place
P.O. Box 991
Swansea, MA 02777-0991
Phone: 1-800-635-0120
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 0-11 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 have received
a bachelor of arts or sciences from Lebanon Valley or another accredited college or
university. 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 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.
Lebanon Valley College Undergraduate Information 5
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—
6213 in Annville or 717-399^419 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,
English, French, German, historical communications, 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, biochemistry, biology, business administration,
chemistry, computer science, cooperative engineering, cooperative forestry, elementary
education, health care management, hotel management, international business, 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 Music 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 business administration, 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
Lebanon Valley College Undergraduate Academic Regulations 7
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
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 120 credit hours
including the requirements for the general education program (see page 18), 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 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
8 Undergraduate Academic Regulations 1999-2000 Catalog
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 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.
Lebanon Valley College Undergraduate Academic Regulations 9
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.
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
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 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), or 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 or one of the satellite sites. Semester hours credit are given only
10 Undergraduate Academic Regulations 1999-2000 Catalog
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
concurrently 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.
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 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
Lebanon Valley College Undergraduate Academic Regulations 1 1
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
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 associate dean of the faculty.
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 satisfac-
torily.
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 441)
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 (challenge exams, advanced placement, CLEP, and credit for life
experience). All non-traditional means of examination are graded satisfactory (S) or
unsatisfactory (U). An unsatisfactory grade on any non-traditional examination will not be
recorded on the permanent record.
Challenge Exam Policy
Many LVC courses can be challenged for credit by examination. Full-time students should
request challenge examinations through their academic advisors. Part-time students and
those students enrolled through continuing education should make application for 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.
12 Undergraduate Academic Regulations 1999-2000 Catalog
Challenge exams are considered to be comprehensive examinations in the subject area.
The grading criteria for challenge exams will be determined by each department. The exact
nature of the examination will be determined by the faculty member and chairperson of the
department involved and may include any means of evaluation normally employed by the
department. There is a fee for preparation and grading of each challenge exam, and it 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, writing intensive courses, and courses with laboratory components are normally not
subject to credit by examination. Individual departments may have additional criteria
regarding challenge exams. Consult the chairperson of the department in which the course
is listed for specific information.
Advanced Placement Policy
Advanced placement with credit in appropriate courses will 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
appropriate by the registrar and by the chairperson of the department.
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.
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.
Lebanon Valley College Undergraduate Academic Regulations 13
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
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 vice
president 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.
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.
Continuing education degree candidates admitted before July 1, 1989 must meet gradu-
ation 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 by 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 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

a determination of whether actions or reasonable suspicions of actions by a student constitute
academic dishonesty "offenses" as above.
Information related to academic dishonesty offenses must be passed by the faculty
member to the vice president for academic affairs 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 for academic affairs and dean of the faculty, who will serve as final arbiter.
Academic Probation and Suspension
At the conclusion of each semester the Dean's Advisory Council meets to review the
academic performance of all undergraduate students. The members of the council are the vice
president for academic affairs and dean of the faculty, the vice president for enrollment and
student services, the dean of student services, and the registrar.
To maintain themselves in good academic standing at the College, students must achieve
minimum cumulative grade point averages appropriate to their progress toward their degree,
and they must complete coursework at a regular and sustained pace. Minimum cumulative
GPAs are as follows:
Semester Hours Completed Required Cumulative GPA
1-27 1.60
28-55 1.70
56-83 1.80
84 or more 1.90
At the conclusion of each semester, the College examines students' academic records.
Students who have not achieved the above minimum grade point averages will be given an
Academic Warning, placed on Probation or Academically Suspended from the College.
Academic Warning. The first time students fall below the required cumulative GPA as
listed above, they will be given Academic Warning. Academic Warning constitutes a formal
notification that a student's academic performance is weak and that he/she needs to devote
increased attention to academic work. Students receiving Academic Warning are cautioned
that unless they achieve an acceptable cumulative grade point average, they will be placed
on Probation and thereby lose the privilege of participating in extracurricular activities
(including such activities as intercollegiate sports, student government, campus media, student
clubs, and Greek and service organizations).
Probation. Students who fall a second time below the required cumulative GPA (whether
in consecutive or non-consecutive semesters) will be placed on Probation. A student on
Probation will not be permitted to take part in extracurricular activities.
Final Probation. Students who fall a third time below the required cumulative GPA
(whether in consecutive or non-consecutive semesters) will be placed on Final Probation. A
student on Final Probation will not be permitted to take part in extracurricular activities,
and the student will be informed that unless the student restores himself/herself to good
academic standing and maintains that status, the student will be suspended from the College.
Academic Suspension. Students will be suspended academically from the College when
(1) they fall a fourth time below the required cumulative GPA (whether in consecutive or
16 Undergraduate Academic Regulations 1999-2000 Catalog
nonconsecutive semesters); (2) they fail to achieve a cumulative GPA of at least 0.75 at the
conclusion of any semester; (3) they have not earned by the conclusion of the second and
subsequent semesters of full-time enrollment a total of at least 6 credit hours of coursework
for each semester completed. Students suspended will not be permitted to return for at least
the full subsequent semester (fall or spring). To request reinstatement, students must submit
a written petition to the Associate Dean of the Faculty. A suspended student who returns to
the College and who is suspended again for academic reasons will be regarded as permanently
separated from the College.

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 are 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.
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
Lebanon Valley College Undergraduate Academic Programs 25
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, 490^4-98 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.
Study Abroad
Lebanon Valley College has established its own study abroad programs for students

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, chemis-
try 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 superconducting nuclear
magnetic resonance spectrometer, a liquid scintillation counter, a fourier transform infrared
spectrometer, a high performance liquid chromatographic system, a diode-array UV-visible
spectrophotometer, a Raman spectrophotometer, a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer,
and an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Computing facilities available to students in
the department include 12 computers in the Molecular Modeling Laboratory.
The department encourages students to discover the excitement and challenge of labora-
tory 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.
The chemistry department participates in the "3+2" Engineering program and directs the
chemical engineering track. For details see Cooperative Programs page 22.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
The Department of Education prepares students for elementary, special education, and
secondary school teaching.
Post-baccalaureate certification is also available for those who wish to become teachers
or for those already certified who want to add elementary, special education, or secondary
education to an existing certificate. Certification in two or more areas of teacher preparation
is possible; however, such certification requires meticulous attention to scheduling and may
require additional semesters.
Elementary education majors who, as freshmen, begin to pursue both elementary and
special education certifications will be able to complete them within their four years of study.
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 live and work.

DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES
The study of a foreign language has three aims: to develop fluency in the basic
communication skills, to provide an understanding of the cultural heritage of the people who
use the language, and to understand language as the fundamental medium by which
humankind thinks and interacts.
The Department of Foreign Languages prepares the language major for a career in a
variety of fields: teaching, diplomatic and government service, foreign trade, business and
social service. For many of these careers the study of a foreign language is often combined
with majors in other disciplines.
The department encourages students to avail themselves of the college's opportunities for
foreign travel and study, particularly Lebanon Valley College programs in Cologne,
Germany; Montpellier, France; and Salamanca, Spain.
The Department of Foreign Languages offers majors in French, German and Spanish,
secondary teacher certification in foreign language, as well as minors in the three languages.
The department also offers the major in International Business jointly with the Management
Department.

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. The increasing
national need for quantitatively prepared individuals makes our program even more attrac-
tive today. Computer scientists, mathematics and computer science teachers, college
professors, actuaries, operations research analysts, and statisticians are in high and continu-
ing demand. In addition, the mental discipline and problem solving abilities developed in the
study of mathematics are excellent preparation for numerous and varied areas of work and
study.
The Department was cited in the Mathematical Association of America's 1995 publica-
tion, Models that Work, for its exceptional program and for its service to students. It offers
majors in Actuarial Science, Computer Science, and Mathematics; secondary teaching
certification in Mathematics; and minors in Mathematics and Computer Science.
Departmental graduates have earned doctorates in economics, physics, statistics, and
computer science as well as mathematics. Other graduates have completed law school. Many
graduates have earned the designation of Fellow of the Society of Actuaries or the Casualty
Actuarial Society.
Mathematical Sciences Department majors are active in student government, athletics,
musical organizations, and other activities. The Department is always well represented in the
list of students named to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. There are two
active student clubs, the Math Club and the Computer Club.
The Mathematical Science Department also directs the Computer Engineering track in the
3+2 Engineering Program. For details see Cooperative Programs on page 22.
Actuarial Science Program
Actuaries are business professionals who use expertise in mathematics, economics,
finance, and management to define, analyze, and solve financial and social problems.
Actuaries are employed by insurance companies and consulting firms, pension/benefit
consulting firms, large corporations, and federal and state government agencies. Actuarial
credentials, which are earned after obtaining a bachelors degree, result from completing the
rigorous education and examination program administered by either the Casualty Actuarial
Society or the Society of Actuaries.
The Actuarial Science program at Lebanon Valley College was established in the 1960's
and is coordinated by Professor Hearsey who is an Associate of the Society of Actuaries. With
over 120 graduates working in the profession, including nearly 40 fellows and 30 associates,
Lebanon Valley is recognized as having one of the leading undergraduate actuarial education
programs in the East.
With its recently revised curriculum, LVC is prepared to help actuarial students prepare
for the new curricula of the professional actuarial societies which will be in place starting in
the year 2000. The LVC program is designed to introduce students to material on the first four
examinations in the new Society of Actuaries and Casualty Actuarial Society examination
programs.
The rigorous standards of the program, including the required passing of at least one
actuarial examination, has resulted in a nearly 100% placement record of LVC actuarial
science graduates in professional actuarial positions.

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 2LT Timothy J. Ferguson,
DSN 242-3303 or Dickinson College, 717-245-1221, for further information.
Program participants may take part in various enrichment activities during the academic
year: rappelling, rifle qualification, white-water rafting, leadership exercises, land naviga-
tion, 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 offers four, three, and two year scholarships, awarded strictly
on merit, to the most outstanding students who apply. The scholarship is valued at $16,000
a year. In addition to paying all or part of your tuition, the scholarship offers a stipend of $ 1 50
a month plus $450 a year for books and fees for up to ten months each year. All scholarship
recipients remain eligible for financial aid.
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 five-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 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 third and fourth floor of the
Garber Science Center. In addition to the introductory physics laboratory, the department
maintains an atomic force microscopy laboratory, optics laboratory, atomic physics labora-
tory, electronics laboratory, and nuclear physics laboratory. Students majoring in physics
also have the opportunity to use equipment (e.g., electron microscope and 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 as a physics student at Anglia Polytechnic University 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

Economics Program
Economics is the science of the choices forced on us by a world of resources that have
competing uses. The traditional major in economics deals with decisions and choices made
by individuals and firms and with the macroeconomic consequences of those choices. In
addition to this traditional major, the department offers a major in public policy economics
which emphasizes the application of economic methodology and analytical tools to the
choices made by groups such as firms, families and political units. This major includes
courses in political science and a government-service oriented internship.
Degree Requirements:
Degrees: Bachelor of Arts with a major in economics.
Major: (Economics) ECN 101, 102, 201, 202, 312, and four additional elective courses in
economics; ACT 161; MAS 150 or 161 or 1 1 1; MAS 170 or 270 or 372 (36 credits).
1 10 Politcal Science and Economics 1999-2000 Catalog

course (18 credits).
Courses in Economics (ECN):
100. Public Issue Economics. This course, for the non-major, covers public policy issues
from the viewpoint of the economist. It looks at how individuals and also groups like
corporations and governments make decisions about how resources are used. Issues covered
remain current but may include welfare, poverty, crime, the environment, race and gender in
microeconomics and unemployment, the debt and deficit, inflation and growth at the
macroeconomic level. 3 credits. (Students having completed ECN 101 and/or 102 may not
receive credit for ECN 100.)
101. Principles of Microeconomics. The course examines how individuals and firms make
choices within the institution of free-market capitalism. Individuals decide how much of their
time to spend working and what to buy with the earnings of their labor. Firms decide how
much to produce and in some cases what price to charge for their goods. Together these
choices determine what is produced, how it is produced and for whom it is produced in our
economic system. 3 credits.
102. Principles of Macroeconomics. This course extends the study of consumer and
producer choices to discover how they affect the nation's economy. Macroeconomics deals
with the economy as a whole as measured by the key variables of inflation, unemployment,
and economic growth. Emphasis is on both Keynesian and classical theories and how they
predict what monetary and fiscal policies can be used to affect these variables and reach
national economic goals. Prerequisite: ECN 101. 3 credits.
201. Intermediate Microeconomic Analysis. This course covers the major theories of
mainstream neoclassical economics. There is intensive study of the models of consumer and
firm behavior that permit understanding of how the prices and quantities of goods and
services are determined in a free market capitalistic system. The implications for social
welfare, and equity and efficiency issues that are inherent in the free-market system are
emphasized. Prerequisites: ECN 101 and 102. 3 credits.
202. Intermediate Macroeconomic Analysis. In this course, students develop a model of the
macroeconomy which permits them to analyze the nature of the business cycle. The
assumptions built into the model can be altered, rendering it capable of examining the
macroeconomy from various theoretical viewpoints. In addition to unemployment, inflation
and economic growth, the course covers real business cycles, the macroeconomic implica-
tions of free trade and emphasizes the microeconomic foundations of macroeconomics.
Prerequisites: ECN 101 and 102. 3 credits.
Lebanon Valley College Political Science and Economics 1 1 1
250. Public Choice Economics. This course is the foundation course for the curriculum in

context of the family, interest groups, bureaucracies and the government. It goes beyond
individual choice and private markets to group interests and activities. It emphasizes the
ethical and political nature of all economic choices. Prerequisites: ECN 101 and 102.
3 credits.
312. Money and Banking. The study of the nature and functions of money and credit,
including the development and role of commercial and central banking, structures of the
Federal Reserve System, and monetary and banking theory, policy and practice. The course
considers the political nature of money and the tension between fiscal and monetary policy
making. Prerequisites: ECN 101 and 102. Writing intensive. 3 credits.
315. Health Economics. This course uses the concepts of micro and macro economic theory
to examine how health care is produced, delivered and financed. The tension between
efficiency and equity that pervades the free market system will be a focal point. Topics such
as the pricing of medical care, insurance and moral hazard, ethical problems of quality versus
quantity control, and the political nature of policy decisions are examined. Prerequisites:
ECN 101 and 102. 3 credits.
316. Ecological Economics. Ecological economics stresses the co-evolution of human
preferences, understanding, technology and cultural organization. This approach differs
from that of conventional economics and conventional ecology in the importance it attaches
to environment-economy interactions. The role that our economic system plays in decisions
affecting the sustainability of our ecosystems is emphasized. Prerequisites: ECN 101 and
102. 3 credits.
321. Public Finance. This course extends the study of public economics to its application in
the principles of taxation and public expenditures. Topics include the structure of the Federal
Budget, the national debt and fiscal deficits, but also state and local financing and the division
of responsibilities between the federal and local governments. Prerequisites: ECN 101 and
102. Writing intensive. 3 credits.
332. International Economics. This course introduces the theory and practice of interna-
tional economic relations. It includes, not only the history and purpose of trade and the
traditional theory of the gains from trade, but also the more modern theory of trade with
imperfect competition. The history and nature of the institutional structures of trade (World
Trade Organization) and international finance (International Monetary Fund) are covered.
Prerequisites: ECN 101 and 102. Writing intensive. 3 credits.
410. Senior Seminar. This course begins with an introduction to econometrics; each student

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 incorporates many aspects of psychology. It
includes elements of a general education as well as elements 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
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 110), 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.
Degree: Bachelor of Arts with a major in psychology.

GRADUATE ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
Lebanon Valley College offers two graduate programs. These programs are the Master of
Business Administration (MBA) and the Master of Science Education (MSE).
The Master of Business Administration program is a multi-disciplinary program designed
to prepare graduates for managerial responsibilities at various levels of business organiza-
tions. This program provides a strong theoretical foundation as well as operational expertise
in the areas of finance, management, marketing, human resource management and operations
management.
The Master of Science Education degree program is designed for elementary and middle
school teachers, teaching in kindergarten through eighth grades, who want to enhance their
understanding of science principles as well as their ability to teach these concepts to their
students. This program focuses on the "hands-on" or experiential learning of science.
Teachers with minimal experience in science and the methodology necessary to teach science
to their students, as well as those with a strong background in one area of science and desire
to complement it with comparable understanding of the other sciences, will benefit from this
program.
Graduate Program Policies and Procedures
Academic Advising and Registration
Graduate students should meet with their academic adviser prior to class registration. The
adviser will develop a graduation plan with the student. All course registrations require the
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 graduate programs have 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.
Transfer Credit
A maximum of nine credits (a maximum of six core credits) may be transferred from
another graduate program with the approval of the 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 a graduate degree may not take courses concurrently at another
educational institution without prior consent of the academic adviser and the registrar.
132 Graduate Academic Programs 1999-2000 Catalog
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 graduate course may be taken pass/fail, except MSE 830, Research.
Review Procedure
Every student' s academic progress shall be reviewed at the end of each academic period
by the 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 program director to the senior vice-president and dean
of the faculty.
Course Withdrawal and Tuition Refund
Any student who withdraws from courses for which he or she is registered must notify
the 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 a graduate program is seven years from the date of
the admission letter. Students who have not earned the graduate degree during this period
shall have their academic standing reviewed and may be asked to meet additional require-
ments 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 program director in writing. A
letter of warning shall be sent to the student by the program director explaining the
consequences and the right of appeal. For the second offense, failure in the course and
expulsion from the graduate program and college are mandatory.
Address Changes
Any change of address must be reported to the Continuing Education Office as soon as
possible. A forwarding address should also be given to the Postal Service.
