THIS IS LYCOMING

Lycoming College encourages the search for meaning within a world of
changing values. Although its primary thrust is within the liberal arts,
the College recognizes the importance of vocational emphases to assure
competency in the world of work.

Lycoming College firmly believes that the search for values within the
historical setting of religious concern must be the function of the entire
institution. Free inquiry is essential to the pursuit of truth and self-
understanding. All of campus life, and not simply the activities of
classroom and chapel, must actively assist the student to discover his true
vocation as a human being.

Free inquiry is essential to the pursuit of truth and self-understanding.
Within an atmosphere in which moral and religious values are considered
important, Lycoming College stresses:

Competency in the use of language and appreciation for literature;

Understanding of the basic principles of mathematics;

Analysis of relationships and values through the study of philosophy
and religion;

Experience in scientific method and knowledge with at least an
introduction to the biological and physical sciences;

Basic understanding of the fine arts through an introduction to music,
the theatre, or the history of art;

Experience in the methods and content of the social sciences, and
the behavioral sciences, with at least an introduction to economics,
sociology, history, political science, or psychology.

The importance of maintaining sound physical and mental health.

Beyond the level of general education, the College stresses the pursuit of a
major. This presses you to achieve competency in a more limited area
and encourages greater depth and sense of academic achievement. The major
relates to increased understanding of yourself and your world; it leads both
to graduate school and to vocation. Majors are not confined to single depart-
ments of the College; increasingly they are interdepartmental in nature,
thus permitting the student a wider range of experience in related fields.

Founded in 1812 as Williamsport Academy, it is the oldest educational
institution in the city of Williamsport. At first, the Academy served only
the young through what are now recognized as the elementary grades.
With the advent of public schools in the city, the Academy expanded its
curricular offerings to include high school and college preparatory work.

4/ THIS IS LYCOMING

In 1848, under the patronage of The Methodist Episcopal Church, the
Academy became Williamsport Dickinson Seminary. The Seminary continued
as a private boarding school until 1929 when once again its offerings were
expanded, this time to include two years of college work. This expansion
resulted in a change of the institution's name to Williamsport Dickinson
Seminary and Junior College. During its years as a junior college
under President John W. Long, the institution forged a strong academic
reputation, strengthened its faculty, and expanded its physical plant.

Increasing national demands for higher education following World War II
prompted another significant step in the growth of the institution. In 1948,
the junior college became Lycoming College, a four-year degree-granting
college of liberal arts and sciences.

The College has enjoyed the support and stabilizing influence of The United
Methodist Church for more than a century. During most of that period the
corporate stock of this institution was owned by the Preachers' Aid Society
of the Central Pennsylvania Conference. In 1970 all corporate stock was
transferred to a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees of Lycoming College.

Lycoming is approved to grant baccalaureate degrees by the Pennsylvania
Department of Education. The College is accredited by the Middle States
Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the University Senate
of The United Methodist Church. It is a member of the National
Commission on Accrediting, the Association of American Colleges, the
Pennsylvania Association of Colleges and Universities, the Commission
for Independent Colleges and Universities, and the National Association
of Schools and Colleges of The United Methodist Church.

The name Lycoming is derived from an Indian word "lacomic" meaning
"Great Stream". It is a name that has been common to north central
Pennsylvania since colonial times.

ADMISSIONS

ADMISSION POLICY

Selective admission is based on academic achievement reflected in high
school records, class rank, and ACT or SAT scores. In addition, subjects
studied, counselor and teacher recommendations, and other available
information that might identify qualified candidates are considered.

ADMISSION STANDARDS

1 . You should graduate from an approved secondary school or fulfill
the requirements for early admission.

2. Although a set pattern of high school subjects is not required, a strong
program of academic subjects is recommended as the most desirable
preparation for college. You should have a minimum of fifteen academic
units with substantial work in the areas of English and mathematics,
and additional work in foreign language, social studies, and science.

3. The College Board Scholastic Aptitude Test or American College Test is
required. Your scores are considered with other academic information.

SELECTION PROCESS

You should file your application between October 1st and May 1st. However,
your application may be considered after May 1st., if space is available.

Although it might seem, with the emphasis placed on test scores, class rank,
and other statistical information, that numbers are all important, this
premise is not entirely so. Much time is devoted to reading your application,
personal recommendations, counselor's evaluations, and other available
information. In addition, phone calls and letters are frequently exchanged
in an effort to discern your special talents and qualities which could play an
important role in your success as a student at Lycoming. Each candidate
is carefully considered in a very personal way.

The College notifies applicants of acceptance on a rolling schedule. Your
notification letter will be sent soon after your credentials have been
received. In some instances, it may be necessary to request your senior
mid-year grades and senior ACT or SAT score reports. Your decision to attend
Lycoming must be made on or before the Candidate's Reply Date of May 1st.
The College should be notified by payment of a $100.00 deposit. After
May 1st., this deposit is non-refundable to students who fail to matriculate.
For enrolling students, this is not an extra charge, but it is used to reserve a
space at the College for the fall and each succeeding semester for which the
student is eligible to return. It will be applied toward the charges of the last
semester in attendance, normally the semester prior to graduation. When a
student decides to terminate his enrollment at Lycoming prior to graduation,
this fee will be refunded when a written request is made to the Registrar before
the end of the student's eighth week of his last semester.

6/ ADMISSIONS

APPLICATION PROCEDURE

1 . To apply for admission, request forms from the Director of Admissions.

2. These items must be submitted before you are considered for admission:

A. Completed application for admission and secondary school transcript.

B. Fee of $ 1 5, which is a processing charge and is not refundable.

C. Results from the American College Testing Program or the Scholastic
Aptitude Test of the College Entrance Examination Board.

3. You and your family are invited to visit the campus and to meet with a
representative of the Admissions Office. You will have an opportunity to
review your credential file, to discuss your plans, and to ask and
answer questions.

MEDICAL HISTORY AND PHYSICAL EXAMINATION

Each student entering the college is required to submit a medical history
record and a physical examination form prior to arriving on the campus. A
parent or guardian of each student under twenty-one years of age must sign
the health record which authorizes the college health authorities to give
emergency medical treatment according to good medical practice. In the event
an operation or other treatment is required for a serious accident or
illness, the College Physician will always secure prior parental consent
if the circumstances permit.

COURSE CREDIT BY EXAMINATION

ADVANCED PLACEMENT

If you are entering as a freshman, have studied an advanced course while
in secondary school, and have taken the appropriate advanced placement
examination of the College Entrance Examination Board, you are encouraged
to apply for credit and advanced placement. A grade of three or above is
generally considered to be satisfactory.

COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM - (CLEP)

You may earn college credit for superior achievement on the College Level
Examination Program (CLEP) sponsored by the College Entrance Examination
Board. By achieving at the 75th percentile or above on the General
Examinations and the 65th percentile or above on the Subject Examinations,
you may earn up to fifty percent of the course requirements for a bachelor
of arts degree. These examinations are administered the third week of each
month at regional testing locations around the nation. Further information
may be obtained from the Office of Admissions. While these examinations may
be taken after enrollment at the College, entering freshmen are encouraged
to take the examinations of their choice during the second semester of
their senior year in high school. If you do so, the College will have the
test scores prior to your registration. This will assure appropriate
course credit prior to your selection of freshman courses.

ADVANCED STANDING BY TRANSFER

Lycoming College recognizes college level course work you have completed at
other institutions. You must submit official copies of transcripts from all
institutions you have attended. Your academic standing will be based on an
evaluation of all courses taken. All courses passed, which are comparable to
the curriculum at Lycoming, will be accepted for transfer. However, the
final eight courses must be taken at Lycoming College. You must be in good
academic standing with a minimum grade point average of 2.0 (C) to be
considered for admission.

EARLY ADMISSION

A number of high schools have accelerated and enriched their programs to
the degree that the advanced student may be intellectually and emotionally
ready for the collegiate experience by the close of the junior year in high
school. Lycoming College is willing to consider and admit these students
to the freshman class each year.

EARLY ADMISSION PROCEDURE

1 . Your high school counselor recommends you for early admission.

2. Your parents approve the advancement as preferable to the senior year
at the high school.

3. After consultation between you, your parents, your school administrators,
and College personnel, you complete the regular application procedure.

4. You are admitted with full freshman standing. At the successful completion
of your freshman year, your high school receives a grade report from the
College. The high school then usually awards its standard diploma.

ADMISSION AS A SPECIAL STUDENT

Persons who wish to take one or more courses and are not regularly enrolled
at Lycoming may apply for admission to any term as a special student.
Application forms are available from the Admissions Office.

PROVISIONS FOR VETERANS

Federal Public Laws 550, 634, and 894.

Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon

June, July, August - 4:00 p.m. closing and no Saturday hours.

ORIENTATION

The orientation program at Lycoming is designed to help the student
entering college for the first time to start this new adventure under the
most favorable circumstances. An entirely new concept of courses, class
scheduling, and methods of instruction must be assimilated. Adjustments
to this new experience are important.

In order to prepare you for the beginning of this experience, Lycoming
schedules four to six orientation sessions lasting two and one half days
during the summer. Each new student is required to attend one of these
sessions accompanied by at least one parent.

The summer program makes it possible to schedule ample time for academic
advisement, placement testing, library orientation, and registration. The
college is able to work more satisfacorily with you in planning programs
of study tailored to your vocational and academic interests. You complete
all preliminaries, including registration, during the summer orientation
period. Textbooks are available for purchase and perusal prior to the
opening of classes in the fall.

Information about the dates of orientation sessions and a pre-registration
form will be mailed to you when you are confirmed at Lycoming College.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

EXPENSES

Lycoming recognizes the problem of constantly increasing educational costs
and offers a substantial program of financial aid to assist those needing
help to attend an excellent private coeducational college.

If you are academically qualified you should not hesitate to apply to
Lycoming College solely because of financial need. At Lycoming, we make
every effort to assure that qualified students are not barred due to
their limited resources.

The expenses listed below have been kept as low as possible through regular
voluntary contributions from alumni and friends plus income from invested
endowment funds. This gift income has permitted Lycoming to develop a
well-qualified academic community and to continually improve its
excellent facilities.

Thus at Lycoming you will receive much more than any fees you pay would
buy-a rare bargain in today's economy. And if our "bargain" price is still
beyond your means, our financial aid office will assist you as much as
possible, as outlined beginning on page 15.

GENERAL EXPENSES FOR THE ACADEMIC YEAR 1974-1975

The Comprehensive Fee at Lycoming is $1,150.00 per semester, plus special
charges which are listed on the following pages. A residence hall room
costs $250.00 per semester except for East Hall where an extra charge of
$12.00 or $25.00 is charged depending on facilities provided. Board is
$325.00 per semester. If, for justifiable reason, it is impossible for a
student to eat in the College Dining Room, permission may be granted to make
other meal arrangements. However, when such permission is granted, the room
cost will be 50% higher. If you request the use of a double room as a
single room, an available room costs 50% more than its regular rate.

The comprehensive fee covers the regular load of three or four unit courses
each semester. If there should be a considerable increase in the price of
commodities and/or services during any semester, the College reserves the
right to make appropriate increases in the charges for the following
semester. Additional detailed information will be furnished by the
Treasurer's Office upon request.

end of a semester you will not be entitled to any refund of room charges.

14/ FIN AN CIA L INFORM A TION

voluntarily from the college while in good standing and is fixed on the
following basis: Students leaving during the first four-week period are
charged thirty percent; during the second four weeks, sixty percent; during
the third four weeks, ninety percent; after twelve weeks, full charge.

Dropping a unit course from the original schedule after the first week of
either semester will not justify any claim for refund of tuition charges. No
refund will be made to those students who are asked to withdraw from the
college. Special charges cannot be refunded for any reason whatever.

PENALTY FOR NON-PAYMENT OF FEES

You will not be registered for courses in a new semester if your account

Group Insurance Plan of the college for the academic year, unless you can

ineligible under another plan because of age, he must enter the college
program in the semester in which he loses his other coverage. The insurance
plan will also be available for twelve -month coverage on a voluntary basis
for all students. Information concerning the plan and its benefits will be

FINANCIAL AID

In considering the financing of your college education both the expenses
involved and the various methods of meeting them should be considered
simultaneously. At Lycoming, if you need financial aid, a generous
program of assistance can help to lower your out-of-pocket
cost significantly.

Since you will be the primary beneficiary of your higher education, we feel
you should assume part of the responsibility for paying your college
expenses. You can do this by saving, working, and borrowing. We expect you
to make every effort to obtain financial support from such outside sources
as state and local grants, company scholarships for employee's children,
and other funds you may be eligible to receive.

A student's parents are often an important source of financial help. Some
families of modest means can give only moral support, but most also can
give substantial financial help. We are eager to help you and your parents
to meet your educational expenses at Lycoming but expect each family to pay
as much as it can reasonably afford and at least as much as other families
in similar financial circumstances.

The establishment of need is the controlling factor in determining the
amount of any financial aid. A scholarship may be awarded on the basis of
financial need and academic ability, while a grant is given on the basis of
financial need alone. Long term, low cost educational loans are available
to most students who need them from Federal and State sources. If your
academic standing is satisfactory, a portion of your college expenses can
be earned by part-time work.

Financial need is determined by deducting what you and your parents can
reasonably contribute toward your education from the actual cost of
attending Lycoming College. You are eligible to be considered for financial
aid up to the part of the cost which it is impossible for you to provide.
Your family's total financial situation is judged. Not only gross income
and net assets are considered, but also the number of dependent children,
unusual medical expenses, marital status of parents, brothers or sisters
attending college, and other pertinent data.

To apply for financial assistance, obtain the "Parents Confidential
Statement" form from your high school guidance counselor or the Financial
Aid Office at Lycoming. Submit the completed "Parents Confidential
Statement" to the College Scholarship Service, P. 0. Box 176, Princeton,
New Jersey 08540, at the earliest convenient date.

total award to meet a demonstrated need— it will not be given in addition to
awards which will meet established needs.

Hospital Emergency Room through the Emergency Care Physicians Association.
In the case of illness, the College pays the emergency room charge and the
physician's fee. Other charges are the responsibility of the student.

The College physician is available from 1 1 :00 a.m. to 12:00 noon Monday
through Friday at the Health Service and on call at other hours through the
nurses. Normal medical treatment by the Health Service staff at the
College Health Service is free of charge. However, special medications,
x-rays, surgery, care of major accidents, immunizations, examinations for
glasses, physician's visits other than in the Health Service, referrals for
treatment by specialists, and special nursing service, etc., are not
included in the free health service, except as provided by the ECPA at
the hospital when the Health Service is closed. The student must pay for a
visit to the doctor's private office.

STUDY SKILLS PROGRAM

A series of professionally directed study-skills sessions are scheduled as
the need arises. Groups of six to ten students are enrolled for a series of
four one-hour sessions. These include sessions on reading skills,
test-taking, note-taking, psychological blocks to studying, etc.

CAMPUS LIFE/ 27

READING IMPROVEMENT COURSE

A course designed to improve reading skills is offered at various times
during the academic year. Skilled instructors teach how to improve reading
speed and comprehension in short courses which span a three-week period.
If you are deficient in reading skills, you may sign up for this course on a
voluntary basis. The charge is $36.00. Information is sent to students
during the summer.

CAREER DEVELOPMENT CENTER

Through the provision of information and counseling, the Career Development
Center at Lycoming helps you to better understand and determine career
objectives. With greater insight into your academic and career goals you
may broaden the career opportunities open to you after graduation. You also
can receive help securing part-time, summer, and post-graduate employment.

RESIDENCE AND RESIDENCE HALLS

If you are a single student and do not reside at home you are required to
live in the college residence halls and eat your meals in the college
dining room. Requests for exceptions must be submitted in writing to the
Associate Dean of Student Services-Housing.

If you do not have permission to life off -campus, you must sign a room
agreement form, agreeing to observe the rules and regulations for resident
students. An agreement form will be sent to you following your acceptance.
Upperclassmen receive the agreements and rules and regulations each Spring.

Because of the inability of the College to predict enrollments by sex, it is
necessary to keep assignments of halls as flexible as possible. No hall is
specifically assigned to women or men on other than a year to year basis.

Resident students are responsible for the condition of their room and
its furnishings. The College reserves the right to enter and inspect any of
its property, or the property of a room resident for reasons of damage,
health, safety, or to determine whether violation of its rules or the law
are taking place or have occurred. Charges will be assessed for damages to
rooms, doors, furniture, and commonly used areas.

Resident students are expected to vacate their rooms during the
vacation periods when the halls are closed and not later than twenty-four
hours following their last examinations, except for graduating seniors.

Regulations regarding quiet hours for study may be established by the
appropriate residence hall councils and are published in the Residence
Halls Handbook and on the bulletin boards in the halls.

Room visitation by members of the opposite sex is permitted in the halls
only under conditions which are established by the College in cooperation
with the various residence hall governing groups.

STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

The College expects all of its students to accept the responsibility required
of citizens in a free democratic society. The rules and regulations of the
College are designed to protect the rights of every member of the community
against encroachment by individuals. The limitations which are imposed upon
the activities of individuals are established for the common good of the
entire college community.

Students who are unable to demonstrate that they can accept this
responsibility or are antagonistic to the spirit and general purpose of the
College, or fail to abide by the regulations established by the College may
be dismissed or requested to leave the College at any time. Further, at the
end of any term or semester the College may deny a student the privilege of
attending any subsequent term or semester when the administration deems this
to be in the best interests of the College. In addition to the regulations
published here, specific rules are furnished each student in the Guidepost.

The consumption or possession of alcoholic beverages on campus or at any
official college function is prohibited. Detailed information regarding the
laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are published in the Guidepost.

Lycoming does not condone the illegal use of drugs by its students. A
detailed statement of the policy on drugs is published in the Guidepost.

Cheating, lying, and stealing are totally inconsistent with Lycoming
standards. Although the acceptance and observance of the standards of
behavior expected by the College is an individual responsibility it is a
group responsibility as well. It is incumbent on all Lycoming students that
they attempt to influence their peers to conduct themselves honorably for
the collective good.

It is assumed that a willingness to accept these restrictions is implicit
in the acceptance of membership in the Lycoming College community. When
you are admitted to Lycoming you will receive a copy of the Guidepost and a
copy of the Residence Halls Handbook if you will live in a College residence.

Both documents are important statements of official College policy, rules,
and regulations which are part of the contractual agreement which you enter
into when you register as a student at Lycoming.

RELIGIOUS LIFE

Lycoming College provides you with many opportunities to mature in your
faith through voluntary participation in the religious life of the campus.

Faculty and students express their religious convictions through membership
and participation in nearly thirty Protestant denominations as well as the
Roman Catholic and Hebrew faiths. Significant opportunities are offered to
every student for the voluntary expression of his religious faith.

Through the office of the Director of Religious Activities, a varied
religious life program is maintained as needs arise. The Campus Church
conducts worship services each Sunday and at other times such as Holy Week.
The services of worship are planned and conducted by students and include
the use of outside speakers as well as our own faculty and students. The
worship committee is appointed by the Campus Church Council; the
governing body is elected by the Campus Church. The mission of the Campus
Church is activated by the Campus Church Council through activities such as
retreats, service projects, and study groups.

The Director of Religious Activities also provides counseling service
each afternoon in his office in Clarke Chapel.

A part-time Roman Catholic chaplain assists the activities of the Newman
Club and maintains office hours in Clarke Chapel for counseling purposes.
Mass is celebrated on campus each Sunday.

Interfaith activities are carried out through special committees appointed
by the Director of Religious Activities in consultation with the Roman
Catholic chaplain and other interested persons.

1 ,500, approximately 900 men and 600 women. A United Methodist related
institution, Lycoming is open to students regardless of their religious,

SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES

The changing nature of American education finds greater emphasis than ever
before upon the development of significant opportunities for self- fulfillment
among students. Pertinent educational goals demand that you shall be
accorded an opportunity to pursue a program that offers you the best chance
to realize your intellectual potential. It is for this reason, that
Lycoming has developed a curriculum that allows a maximum flexibility in
course selection, especially among those courses that support the major as
well as those that effectively meet the requirements of the College's
objectives in liberal education. But wide variety in course selection does
not always allow as completely individualistic a program as one might wish.
Therefore, a variety of special opportunities is provided.

LYCOMING COLLEGE SCHOLAR PROGRAM

The Lycoming Scholar Program offers highly motivated students an
opportunity to develop their full potential through a flexible and
demanding academic program. Persons with the following qualities would
most likely benefit from this unique program:

**3£^

SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES/39

High intellectual ability initially indicated by a class standing
normally in the upper fifteen percent and combined SAT scores of
approximately 1 150 or higher;

Intellectual curiosity, motivation, imagination, creativity, and a
desire for excellence;

Sufficient independence of mind to plan and execute a unique personal
academic program which best uses the resources of the College;

Commitment to the value of intellectual dialogue.

SCHOLAR OPPORTUNITIES

The following opportunities are designed to be helpful to Lycoming
Scholars in achieving the stated objective of the program.

The Scholar Council will relax the established distribution
requirements while maintaining the breadth of a liberal arts
education. The program for the individual Scholar is to be tailored
by the Scholar and his academic consultant based upon an assessment
of the student's previous attainments and his needs. This is subject
to approval by the Lycoming Scholar Council.

Scholars may take a fifth course in any semester, and, unlike other
students, Scholars may take an unlimited number of Studies and
Honors courses. The present fee to Scholars for the fifth course
is $50.00.

Lycoming Scholars-either singly or in groups— are encouraged to
petition the Council, in writing, for funds to undertake special
educational projects involving extra expenses, such as taking trips
or bringing in special speakers. Students applying for such funds are
expected to make the results of their investigations available to
the Scholar community, and, if possible, to the college at large.

Due to the composition of the Scholar Council, Scholars have a
greater voice in determining the nature of their education than is
possible in the college as a whole.

Evidence of participation in the Lycoming Scholar Program will be
noted on the Scholar's transcript and diploma. A brief description of
the program will be a part of the transcript.

At the request of the Scholar, the Council will endorse, for graduate
school and other post-baccalaureate endeavors, those Scholars who
have met the objective of the Program.

ADMISSION TO THE PROGRAM

Scholars may be chosen by the Council while in their last year of
secondary education, before actual matriculation at Lycoming. Their

40/ SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES

potential for meeting the objective of the Program will be measured
by a variety of means. Among them are interviews with Scholars and
faculty members, and written responses to essay questions.

Scholars also may be chosen from the current Lycoming student body after
their first year of study. Requirements include: (a) a letter of
application, (b) letters of recommendation from two faculty members
who are not on the Council, plus optional letters from present Scholars,
and (c) an interview with members of the Council. Important factors in
granting membership are the student's intellectual motivation,
independence, desire to participate, and academic progress to date
which is normally indicated by an average of 3.25 for two consecutive
semesters. February 1st is designated as the deadline for application.

SCHOLAR RESPONSIBILITIES

During their first year in the Program, all Scholars are on a
probationary status. They are required to participate in a First-Year
Seminar. Following successful completion of their probationary
period, scholars will be formally admitted to the Program.

Any Scholar may be asked by the Council to leave the Program
if he or she is judged not to be making satisfactory progress
toward meeting its objective. If the academic average of the Scholar
drops below a 3.00, the Council will look into the matter, but
lower grades in themselves need not result in dismissal from the
Program; of far more interest is the overall quality of the student's
work.

During their last year at Lycoming, Scholars are required to
participate in a Senior Seminar. In these Seminars each student
will report on a Studies or Honors project taken during the
Junior or Senior year.

All Scholars will have an academic consultant from the faculty to
assist them in utilizing the potentialities of the Program.
Together with the consultant, the Scholar must submit a brief
plan of study to the Council at each registration period.

Scholars are expected to create academic programs which emphasize
depth-of-study in a major area combined with a breadth of inquiry
into other areas. Scholars also are expected to participate in the
activities of the Program. Achievement of the Scholar Program
objective depends upon the continual refinement of a program
through faculty-student interaction and dialogue on policies,
procedures, and activities. To this end, the Scholar Council, which
is charged with administering the program, is composed of four
students elected by their peers, four faculty members, and the
Dean of the College, all with equal vote.

SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES/ 41

By presenting this highly flexible curriculum, Lycoming College
opens the door to students who are motivated to remain intellectually
creative. If you qualify for this special program and wish to be
considered, Lycoming invites your inquiry.

SPECIAL PROGRAMS

MAY TERM

Each year a unique May Term is designed to offer a challenging array of
special courses. Some of the four-week courses offer study and projects on
campus, others involve nearby, distant, or foreign travel, and several
encompass interdisciplinary credit. Many are non-traditional in content.

In its second year as a unique opportunity at Lycoming, May Term 1973
again provided students with a challenging array of forty-two specially
designed courses for the four-week term. As in the very successful first
May Term in 1972, many non-traditional courses had been designed and
had such diverse topics as Dietrich Bonhoeffer, thought transference,
astronomy, philosophy of law, and Raku.

Newly designed courses had such varied titles as "The Character of Physical
Law", "Fisheries Management", "Creative Advertising", "The Cosmic
Theatre", "Futurism", "Issues in Contemporary Feminism", "Human
Sexuality", "Writer's Seminar", "Strategy and Politics in the Twentieth
Century", and "Human Sexual Behavior".

Back by popular demand from 1972 May Term were such courses as
"Accounting Opinions of the APB-AICPA", "Introduction to Photography"
"Managing the Small Business", "Field Ornithology", "Indian Archeology",
"History of Utopias in America", "Urban Problems", and "Speleology".

A number of May Term courses were conducted off-campus both in the
United States and abroad. "London In May" explored the arts emphasizing
attendance at plays, concerts, operas, and ballets plus meetings with
performers, conductors, directors, actors, and teachers and tours of
galleries, museums, and other points of interest. The second "Cultural
Tour of the U.S.S.R." again enabled students to experience Russian
culture in visits to Moscow, Leningrad, Novgorod, Kiev, the Crimea and
Yerevan, capital of Armenian, S.R. The new "Cultural Tour of Germany"
provided the same type of total immersion experience to enable students to
improve their language skills and better understand the people, history,
and culture of Germany.

The 1973 May Term "Introduction to Marine Biology and Biological Ocean-
ography" course was based at the Bermuda Biological Station for Research,
St. Georges. The Virgin Islands was the site of a course on literature which
uses the sea and tropical islands as its setting and seems to have certain
predominate themes.

42 /SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES

The tri-cultural community of North central New Mexico was home again
for the "Field Experience in Sociology-Anthropology" group as they combined
cultural anthropological and sociological field methods to learn how to analyze
a community in depth. "The Washington Minimester: A Course in Practical
Politics" analyzed the workings of our national government first-hand by
meeting people working on all levels within and tangential to the government.

Several courses of particular interest to future teachers or those working for
certification were available in the May Term. The education department
offered "The Psychology and Teaching of Reading in the Elementary Schools",
"Teaching Reading Skills in Secondary Schools", and "Science, Health,
Safety, and Physical Education". "Elementary Geometry", designed
primarily for elementary teachers, and "Mathematics for the Elementary
Teacher" were offered by the math department, while the psychology depart-
ment had "Behavior Modification Techniques with Children" and "Educational
Psychology".

May Term classes, which started on May 7th and continued daily until
June 1st, met at 9:00 a.m. or 1:00 p.m. unless scheduled to meet on
some "arranged" basis. Costs were: Tuition for one (unit) course - $150,
Room -$50, Board -$75.

INDEPENDENT STUDY

Each department granting a major provides opportunity to students to work
independently. Upon consent of the department head and the instructor, you
may register for courses in Independent Study. Normally, the opportunity
for such study is provided for the better qualified major student who has
successfully completed the courses making up the core of his major program.
Except under unusual circumstances, registration for the Studies course is
limited to one unit course during each semester. If you wish to elect more
than one unit during a semester or three or more unit courses in Studies in
your total college program, approval of the Academic Standing Committee
must be secured. If you are privileged to do Independent Study you register
for courses 80-89, Studies. An appropriate title is entered in your record.

SEMINAR STUDY

Individual departments may from time to time find it possible to organize
small classes or seminars for exceptional students interested in subjects or
topics not usually a part of departmental course offerings. Establishment
of the seminar and admission of students depends upon the approval of the
department involved. Occasionally, Visiting Professors, Lecturers, or
Specialists in Residence will offer such seminar studies. Students who are
privileged to elect Seminar Study in any department register for courses
numbered 70-79-Studies, with an appropriate title to be entered upon the
student's permanent record. Enrollment in seminar courses is normally
limited to ten students.

SPECIAL OPPOR TUNITIES / 43

DEPARTMENTAL HONORS

If you desire to enter an Honors program and secure departmental approval
to apply, a faculty committee shall be convened whose initial responsibility
shall be to pass upon your eligibility to enter the program. The committee
responsibility shall also include the direction of the study, and final
evaluation of its worth. Usually the Honors program involves independent
study in two consecutive unit courses. Students who are privileged to
elect Honors register for courses numbered 90-99.

Honors study is expected to result in the completion of a thesis to be
defended in a final oral examination. Acceptable theses shall be deposited
in the college library. Successful completion of the Honors program will
cause the designation of honors in the department to be placed upon the
permanent record. In the event that the study is not completed successfully,
the student shall be re-registered in Independent Studies and given a
final grade for the course.

WASHINGTON NATIONAL SEMESTER

Upon recommendation of the faculty of the Department of Political Science,
you may be permitted to attend The American University, Washington, D.C.,
for a period of one full semester. The Washington Semester program is
intended to provide a first-hand acquaintance with various aspects of the
nation's capital, as well as an academic experience equivalent to four
normal unit courses. This program is open to selected students who have
special interests in political science, law, and American government.
Ordinarily, only junior students are eligible.

INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

In order to expand the learning opportunities for Lycoming students and to
encourage them to relate their on-campus academic experiences more
directly to society in general and to their post-baccalaureate objectives
in particular, the faculty has approved the concept of Student Internships.
Departments will be encouraged to develop internships for their major
students. Any junior or senior who has declared a major will be able to
petition the major department for approval to enroll in an internship for a
maximum of four unit courses of credit. An academic director at Lycoming
and an agency supervisor at the place of internship will be assigned for
each intern. Guidelines for program development, assignment of intern tasks,
consultations, and academic requirements such as exams, papers, reports,
grades, etc. are being established.

SPECIAL OPPOR TUNITIES / 45

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

Students who attend a liberal arts institution find numerous career
opportunities open to them upon graduation. Although students can seek
career employment related to their academic major, the value of a liberal
arts education is that students are not restricted to such employment. A
liberal arts background gives you the flexibility to pursue various career
avenues, as illustrated by the careers entered by a few of our typical
graduates of last year. An English major secured employment as a housing
counselor for the government; a psychology major, as a manager in a
retailing business; a biology major, as a food and drug inspector; an
accounting major, as a graduate student attending law school; a history
major, as a branch manager in a banking firm; a political science major,
as a county law enforcement agent; a business major, as a technical
assistant in a television station; a theatre major, as a counselor for
underprivileged children. In general, a liberal arts education provides a
foundation for each student to pursue the type of career which focuses upon
his abilities, interests, and aspirations.

Today's employers are seeking college graduates with broad academic
backgrounds. The primary characteristics desired by employers are
intelligence, communication skills, leadership ability, community
involvement, and career identification. Employers believe such an
individual will be better able to handle the various problems he will
encounter in today's complex world.

Lycoming College is committed to assist each student to develop a realistic
career plan. The Career Development Center is the primary service designed
to help each student, beginning in his freshman year, to crystallize his
future plans. Through career counseling, career workshops, career
information, and similar vehicles, the Career Development Center strives
to help each Lycoming student.

CAREER FIELDS UNLIMITED

Your course of study at Lycoming will help you to gain greater insight
into many aspects of your world and simultaneously lay a strong foundation
for a career. Innumerable types of positions are open to liberal arts
graduates. At Lycoming you have the additional opportunity to explore,
from an elementary to an advanced level, various fields that may lead to a
vocation or direct you toward professional or graduate schools. A wide
variety of vocations may be entered directly upon graduation. These include
positions in business, industry, government, and the professions, including
teaching. A student interested in any of these areas is referred to his
advisor, to the appropriate department, or to a special assigned advisor.

ACCOUNTING

There are many reasons for continued rapid growth of the accounting
profession in the foreseeable future. Lycoming offers a rigorous
comprehensive program of undergraduate training in accounting leading to
the bachelor of arts. The most important aspect of an accountant's
service to clients and to the public cannot be defined as knoweldge,
nor even as experience, but must be described by more elusive terms:
wisdom, perception, imagination, circumspection, judgement, integrity.
A liberal arts education followed by training on-the-job offers you the best
background for a successful career in accountancy. The academic standards
are such as to require you to be proficient in math; have an above-average
ability to communicate ideas verbally and in written form; show a potential
ability to express and to interpret abstraction; and demonstrate a
personality capable of developing qualities of business and community
leadership. Interested? Contact the Accounting Department Chairman.

BUSINESS

Lycoming offers course work in the field of business administration
particularly designed for training prospective business leaders. Business is
a highly diversified occupation; therefore the curriculum is not designed
to be vocational or narrowly pre -professional. The purposes of the business
administration curriculum are to train and equip your mind to recognize
and solve complex problems facing business executives, to develop an
appreciation for rigorous analysis, to practice the arts of verbal and
written communication, and to expose the developing mind to as wide as
possible a range of course work represented by the traditional liberal arts
curriculum, to the end that you become truly well educated. Considerable
flexibility is permissible within the curriculum and you are encouraged to
pursue course work most rewarding to you.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES/ 47

TEACHER EDUCATION

Lycoming prepares teachers for elementary and secondary schools. The
programs are approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education for the
certification of elementary teachers and for secondary teachers in the
following areas: Biology , Chemistry, Communication, English, French,
General Science, German, Mathematics, Physics, Russian, Social Science,
and Spanish. Pennsylvania certificates are recognized in many other states
either through reciprocal agreements or by transcript evaluation.

The excellent facilities of the public schools in Williamsport and the
surrounding areas are used by education students for observations,
participation experiences, and practice teaching.

Lycoming feels that the best preparation for future teachers is based on
the liberal arts. Therefore, all education students complete a liberal
arts major in addition to the education requirements.

Normally, freshmen are not admitted to education courses. All applicants for
admission to the Teacher Education Program must register with the Education
Office no later than registration for the first semester of the sophomore year.
The Committee on Teacher Education evaluates those accepted, at various
junctures in their education program, using such guidelines as grade point
average, potential, course requirements, and recommendations.

Application for practice teaching must be made before October 1 of the
junior year. Admission to the professional semester is limited and
selective. Final approval for student participation in the professional
semester is granted by the Teacher Education Committee.

48/ CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

If you desire extensive study in biblical history and literature, the
historical development of Christianity, and Christian doctrine, you may
major in religion. If you plan to enter the vocation of religious education,
you should, besides majoring in religion, elect five or six unit courses in
psychology, education, and sociology. This program of study, completely
within the liberal arts curriculum, will qualify you for work as an
Educational Assistant, or after graduate study in a theological seminary, as
a Director of Religious Education. You are invited to contact the Director
of Religious Activities for further information on the opportunities,
responsibilities, and requirements of these and other church vocations.

MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY

The Medical Technology curriculum is organized around an academic
background of basic science courses in addition to those liberal arts
courses listed as requirements for the bachelor of arts degree. Preparation
at Lycoming for a career in medical technology may be made in either of two
ways: the attainment of the B.A. followed by a clinical internship at any
accredited hospital, or by completion of the Lycoming Cooperative Program.

If you elect to follow the Cooperative Program in Medical Technology, you
will normally spend three years at Lycoming. During this time you must
satisfy the general college distribution and major requirements, and must
successfully complete twenty-four unit courses, including four in chemistry,
six in biology, and two in mathematics. Three-year students usually major
in biology, where they are eligible to follow a modified major of six unit
courses which exempts them from two biology core courses, Ecology
(Biology 24) and either, but not both, Animal Physiology (Biology 23) or Cell
Physiology (Biology 20). Also required as part of the Cooperative Program
is the successful completion of a one -year internship at one of Lycoming's
affiliated hospitals, currently Williamsport Hospital, Divine Providence
Hospital, Robert Packer Hospital, Lancaster General Hospital, and
Abington Hospital. Three-year students will be given Lycoming credit for
each of eight unit courses in biology and chemistry taken during the
clinical internship and will graduate from Lycoming at the first
commencement following successful completion of the internship. Lycoming
does not consider the Registry examination a requirement for graduation.

If you decide to graduate from Lycoming before entering a hospital program,
you may major in any department of your choice, and at the same time
satisfy ASCP and hospital admission requirements. Once graduated from
Lycoming, you may apply for admission to a clinical program at any
hospital of your choice.

If you are interested in a medical technology career, you should contact
members of the Medical Technology Coordinating Committee or chairman
of the biology department before finalizing course decisions.

COOPERATIVE PROGRAM IN ENGINEERING

Consistent with increased attention being given nationally to engineering
education, Lycoming offers a cooperative curriculum combining the manifold
advantages of a small liberal arts college with the training to be secured
at an engineering school. By arrangement with Bucknell University and The
Pennsylvania State University, the colleges offer a five-year program in
which the first three years are spent at Lycoming and the final two at the
engineering school. Upon completion of the first year at the engineering
school, your record will be sent to Lycoming. If the work is satisfactory,
Lycoming will award the bachelor of arts degree. Upon the completion of
the five-year program of studies, a bachelor of science in engineering is
awarded by the engineering school. Combined programs offer an opportunity
for completion of studies in the following areas: Bucknell University:
chemical, civil, electrical, or mechanical engineering; The Pennsylvania
State University: aeronautical, civil, electrical, industrial, mechanical,
or sanitary engineering.

Prescribed work at Lycoming includes, in addition to degree requirements
outlined above, courses in chemistry, mathematics, and physics. Because
the demands of the engineering curricula may differ somewhat, a program of
studies at Lycoming will be designed for you when your plans as to type of
engineering program preferred have been finally fixed. The chairman of the
physics department will aid you in planning your program.

COOPERATIVE PROGRAM IN DRAMA

The American Academy of Dramatic Arts and Lycoming each recognize
appropriate courses given by the other institution. Normally, in
the case of the transfer student who is a graduate of the American Academy
of Dramatic Arts and recommended by them and who has completed two
years successful study at an accredited college or university, the residency
requirement is two summers with The Arena Theatre and two consecutive
semesters in an academic year. Summer session course work may be
required. Each case is subject to review. The affiliation with the Academy
permits a graduating Lycoming senior to be eligible for advanced standing
at the Academy upon recommendation of the Lycoming College theatre
department chairman and acceptance by the Academy. For information
contact the theatre department chairman.

PREPARATION FOR GRADUATE STUDY

Many careers today require advanced study beyond the bachelor of arts
degree. In general, preparation for graduate work in one of the academic
disciplines should include a broad base of liberal studies, a strong
undergraduate major, and adequate supporting work in closely related fields.
You can design an individual major to meet the needs of some of the newer
graduate level interdisciplinary programs. Often graduate departments ask
that a prospective student's competence be measured by the national Graduate
Record Examinations. They usually require a reading knowledge of one or
two foreign languages. You should consult departmental advisors early in
your college years with respect to planning for entrance to graduate school.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES/ 51

PREPARATION FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONS

The curriculum for the pre -Health Professions (allopathic medicine, dental
medicine, optometric medicine, osteopathic medicine, podiatric medicine,
and veterinary medicine) are all organized around a solid foundation in
biology, chemistry , English, mathematics, and physics. A wide range of
subject matter from the humanities, social sciences, and fine arts should
be included in the program. At least three years of undergraduate study
is recommended before entry into the professional school; the normal
procedure is to complete the bachelor of arts degree.

You should indicate to the Admissions Office, when completing the
application to Lycoming College, that you wish to enroll in the pre-Health
Professions (various fields of medicine) program. The Health Professions
Advisory Committee will advise you concerning preparation for and
application to a health professional school.

PREPARATION FOR THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY

If you are a young man or woman interested in the Christian ministry or
related vocations, you can find the pre-ministerial curriculum at Lycoming
an exciting and challenging opportunity. Basic courses specified by the
American Association of Theological Schools are virtually identical with
the program of courses required for a bachelor of arts degree. Such courses
offer a wide range of subject matter presenting many opportunities for you
as a pre-ministerial student to acquaint yourself with the broad scope of
human experience. Preparation for seminary includes earning a bachelor of
arts degree with a major in one of a variety of fields such as religion,
English, history, and philosophy. So that you may have a curriculum
designed to fit your individual needs, the offerings in the junior and
senior year are largely elective. The choice of electives will depend upon
the requirements of the theological school which you expect to attend.
If you are interested, contact the Director of Religious Activities.

PREPARATION FOR LAW SCHOOL

Many colleges of law require a Bachelor of Arts degree for admission. The
four-year degree program in pre-law at Lycoming College provides a background
for the prospective student of law. Requirements include courses in political
science and history, but also specified is a wide range of subject matter
designed to acquaint you with the vast scope of human experience.

You may expect to major in economics, history, political science, or related
fields as you prepare for matriculation in law school. Individual programs
are tailored to fit your needs as well as to meet the specific requirements
of the law school to which you apply for admission. Interested students
should contact the political science department chairman.

ACADEMIC PROGRAM

Lycoming College is a liberal arts institution granting the bachelor of
arts degree. A degree candidate must fulfill certain minimal course
requirements in breadth of learning— the distribution requirements— and
in depth of learning in a chosen subject matter field-the major.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

Every degree candidate must complete the following degree requirements:

1. Pass a minimum of thirty-two unit courses (128 hours) with an average
of 2.0 or better within the limit of thirty-eight unit courses (152 hours)
taken. In case of withdrawals, the attempted course will be considered
one of the total number of courses permitted, except in the case of
withdrawals for medical or psychological reasons.

2. Complete a major consisting of at least eight (8) unit courses.

3. Achieve an average of 2.0 or better for all courses counted in the major.

4. Complete the Distribution Requirements.

5. Complete the final eight courses offered for the degree at Lycoming.

6. Earn one year of credit in Physical Education.*

7. Satisfy all financial obligations incurred at the College.

8. Complete the above seven requirements within seven years of continuous
enrollment following the date of matriculation. All exemptions or waivers of
specific requirements are reviewed by the Committee on Academic Standing.

*Exemption, for medical reasons, from participation in physical activity associated
with physical education may be granted only by the College Physician who considers
your medical history, your physician's report, and his own physical examination of you.

COURSE WORK

Instruction at Lycoming College is organized, with few exceptions, on a
departmental basis. Nearly all courses are unit courses, meaning that each
course taken by you is considered to carry the same academic value as any
other course. For transfer purposes each course is considered to be
equivalent to four semester hours of academic work. This does not mean that
all courses will meet for four one -hour lectures each week, although many
will do so. Rather, each course meets on a schedule set by the department
and the instructor involved. Such meetings may be on a lecture, discussion,
laboratory, or tutorial basis. Varying amounts of additional study, reading,
writing, and research will be required for each course. Most students
elect four unit courses each semester. Students may elect to enroll in five
(5) courses during any semester provided they were admitted to the Dean's
List during the preceding semester while carrying at least four unit
courses. Exceptions may be made by the Committee on Academic Standing.
You can accelerate by taking courses in the May Term and summer sessions.

54/ ACADEMIC PROGRAMS

MAJORS

You are required to complete a series of courses in a field of concentration.
This is accomplished by completing one of the following type of majors:

Departmental Major, Established Interdisciplinary Major, or
Individual Interdisciplinary Major.

DEPARTMENTAL MAJORS

Departmental majors, as described beginning on page 67, are available in:

Accounting

History

Art

Mathematics

Biology

Music

Business Administration

Philosophy

Chemistry

Physics

Economics

Political Science

English

Psychology

Foreign Languages

Religion

French

Russian

Sociology and Anthropology

German

Spanish

Theatre

You may complete two majors; each will be recorded on your record.

ESTABLISHED INTERDISCIPLINARY MAJOR (EIM)

An Established Interdisciplinary Major (EIM) can be elected instead of a
departmental major. Two or more departments work together to establish
an EIM which must be approved by the Committee on Special Studies. The
following EIM's, as described beginning on page 63, are available:
Accounting-Mathematics Soviet Area Studies

Near East Culture and Archeology Literature

INDIVIDUAL INTERDISCIPLINARY MAJOR (IIM)

You may take the initiative and design a unique Individual Interdisciplinary
Major (IIM) in consultation with your faculty advisor. You may apply for
approval of an IIM to the Committee on Special Studies via the Registrar,
who will provide a copy of the Guidelines For Interdisciplinary Majors
and other necessary forms.

Individual Interdisciplinary Majors usually involve two or more departments
which each already offer a major. An IIM is normally comprised of a
minimum of ten courses beyond those satisfying distribution requirements.
If the IIM involves departments not included in meeting the distribution
requirements, then the ten courses may include elementary courses usually
used to satisfy distribution requirements. However, you are expected to
take at least six courses at the advanced (junior or senior) level as deter-
mined in consultation with your advisors. Changes in this set of courses
comprising the major, which may be desired or needed as you progress,
must be authorized by the Committee on Special Studies.

56/ ACADEMIC PROGRAMS

As an IIM student, you are advised by a committee composed of one professor
from each department involved. You choose the chairman who functions as the
advisor of record, maintains your records, etc. The Committee on Special
Studies must certify the successful completion of the IIM for graduation.
Your transcript will show:

Interdisciplinary Major in (Departments), for example:

Interdisciplinary Major in Urban Studies (History, Psychology, Sociology).

POLICY ON ADMISSION TO MAJOR

If you desire an established interdisciplinary major (EIM) or departmental
major (DM), you must declare your elected major, in the Office of the
Registrar, no later than the beginning of your junior year.

If you desire an individual interdisciplinary major (IIM), you must apply
to and secure the approval of the Committee on Special Studies in
conformity with established policy.

If the Committee on Special Studies, the Coordinating Committee for
an EIM, or a department feels that legitimate reasons exist which may
warrant removal from major status, that committee or department must
submit these reasons, in writing, to the Dean of the College who, after
consultation with you, will decide whether or not you are to be removed
from major status. The Committee on Special Studies, the Coordinating
Committee for an EIM, the department, or you may appeal the decision of
the Dean of the College to the Committee on Academic Standing which will
either sustain or modify the decision of the Dean of the College. As in
all cases of student appeals, the final appeal is to the College president.

If you have not declared a major by the beginning of your junior year,
you are subject to dismissal from the College.

ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT

An advantage of a small college is the rich experience gained by the close
association of students and faculty. The counseling program at Lycoming
enables you to discuss various academic problems with your instructors, and
the staffs of the Dean of the College and the Dean of Student Services.

As an entering Freshman, you are assigned to a faculty adviser who meets with
you as needed during the year. You will find your adviser willing to guide and
assist in the many problems that confront a new college student. If, as an
upperclass student, you do not feel the need for a formally assigned adviser,
you may assume the responsibility for meeting your degree requirements.

ACADEMIC PROGRAMS/ 57

THE DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS

One of the reasons a student chooses to come to Lycoming is a desire to
obtain a breadth of knowledge in many areas, a liberal arts education. A
student who deliberately elects to attend a liberal arts college is
interested in more than training in a narrow major; he wants knowledge in
an area of special interest, his major, amplified by exploration into
kindred and "unrelated" fields.

Lycoming College, being a liberal arts institution, insists that a major
program of study be supported and challenged by the influences of a
diversity of subjects. The major must not become narrow in its vision and
sterile in its ability to help you function effectively in a world where
nothing is neatly isolated and compartmentalized. The College believes
that the essence of liberal education is its potential for exposing you to
the multitude of historical, traditional, and contemporary avenues of thought
and action which are brought to light in different ways through the study
of various disciplines.

By taking different kinds of subjects, you can discover numerous ways of
seeing things. You can gain the advantage of learning to view events and
approach problems and questions from various points of view. You can
discover that the interpretation of events and the relevance of solutions
and answers will vary greatly for different individuals and groups.

To have you achieve at least a minimal insight into this multiplicity of
perspective, thought, and reaction, Lycoming requires that you select some
of your courses from six groups of courses as outlined below. The aim is
not the garnering of specific, prescribed information, but rather, the
development of a broadly based perspective of all aspects of life.

The distribution requirements in English, Mathematics, Fine Arts, Natural
Science, and History and Social Science may be met by superior performance
on the General Examinations of the College Level Examination Program.
Further information may be obtained from the Office of the Registrar.

ENGLISH

You are required to pass English I and one other English course. English I
must be taken during the freshman year.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE OR MATHEMATICS

You are required to meet a minimum basic requirement in either a foreign
language or mathematics.

Mathematics. If you elect mathematics, you must complete four courses in
mathematics. By passing a proficiency examination you may reduce this
requirement to two courses other than Math 1. These exams are offered
during the Freshman Orientation.

58/ ACADEMIC PROGRAMS

Foreign Language. If you elect to take a foreign language, you may choose
from among French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Russian, or Spanish. You are
required to pass two courses on the intermediate or a higher course level.
Placement at the appropriate course level will be determined by the
faculty of the department of foreign languages. No student who has had
two or more years of a given foreign language in high school shall be
admitted to the elementary course in that same language for credit, except
by written permission from the chairman of the department. French 28
will meet part of this requirement only upon consent of the department.

RELIGION OR PHILOSOPHY

You are required to pass one year (two courses in the same subject) in
either philosophy or religion.

Philosophy. You may take any two philosophy courses.

Religion. The distribution requirement may be satisfied by completing
two religion courses, at least one of which must be 10, 13, or 14.

FINE ARTS

You are required to pass one year (two courses) in one of the following:

Art. You may take any two art courses.

Literature. You may take any two literature courses selected from
the offerings of the departments of English and Foreign Languages and
Literatures.

Music. Any combination of music courses totaling the equivalent of two
full-unit courses (academic full-unit courses-Music 1 through 46 and
Music 70Y, or applied fractional unit courses-Music 60 through 69) will
satisfy this requirement. You can earn the equivalent of two full units in
Music in one of the following ways:

1 . Take two full-unit academic courses from those numbered Music 1
through 59 and Music 70's,

2. Take a total of two full units of applied music, from courses numbered
Music 60 through 69, which are earned fractionally as follows:

A. 1/8 unit per semester for one half-hour of instruction per week in
courses numbered 60 through 66.

B. 1/4 unit per semester for one hour of instruction per week in
courses numbered 60 through 66.

C. 1/4 unit per semester for music 67, 68, or 69.

3. Take one full-unit academic course (Music 1 through 59 and Music 70's)
plus the equivalent of one full-unit course earned fractionally in
applied music courses 60 through 69 as explained in "2" above.

Theatre. Any two theatre courses 10 and above will satisfy this requirement.

ACADEMIC PROGRAMS/ 59

NATURAL SCIENCE

You are required to pass one year (any two courses) in one of the
following: biology, chemistry, or physics.

HISTORY AND SOCIAL SCIENCE

You are required to pass one year (two courses) in one of the following:

Economics. You may take any two courses.

History. You may take any two courses.

Political Science. You may take any two courses.

Psychology. You may take Psychology 10 plus one course usually chosen
from among Psychology 15, 16, 30, 31, 32, or 38.

Sociology and Anthropology. You may take Sociology 10 plus another course.

NOTE: A course can be used to satisfy only one distribution requirement.

GRADING SYSTEM

The College uses the traditional letter system of grading: A B C D F or
Satisfactory /Unsatisfactory. Any student enrolled full-time at Lycoming
College may elect to take up to a maximum of four courses on a Satisfactory/
Unsatisfactory basis. Only one course may be taken on this basis during any
semester. No course taken by a student on a S/U basis after the declaration
of his major and approval by the department involved may be used to satisfy
a requirement of that major, including courses required by the major
department which are offered by other departments. Instructor-designated
S/U courses are excepted from this limitation.

During the May Term, instructors, with the approval of the Dean of the
College and the Director of Special Sessions, may designate courses to be
taken on an S/U basis only. These courses will not count toward the four-

60/ ACADEMIC PROGRAMS

course limit. A course elected on an S/U basis which is subsequently
withdrawn will not count toward the four-course limit.

Any student electing a course on an S/U basis may designate a minimum
acceptable letter grade of 'A', 'B' or 'C. If the letter grade actually
earned by the student equals or exceeds the minimum acceptable letter
grade designated by the student, then the letter grade actually earned in
the course will be entered on the student's permanent record and will be
used in computing the student's GPA. In this case the course will not count
toward the four-course limit since it was not completed on an S/U basis.
If the student fails to designate a minimum acceptable letter grade or if
the letter grade actually earned is lower than the minimum acceptable
letter grade designated by the student, then the Registrar will substitute
an 'S' for any passing grade ('A', 'B\ 'C or 'D') and a 'U' for an 'F' grade.

The student shall declare by the end of the period during which courses
may be added an intention to be graded on an S/U basis. At the same
time, and except for instructor-designated S/U courses, the student will
indicate a minimum acceptable letter grade, if he or she so chooses.
The instructor will not be notified of these decisions, unless the student
chooses to do so. A student electing the S/U option shall be expected to
perform the same work in the course as those being graded on the regular
basis.

You will receive full credit for a course passed with a Satisfactory grade.
Neither the "S" nor the "U" count in computing the grade point average.

Incomplete grades may be given if you, for absolutely unavoidable reasons,
have not been able to complete the work requisite to the course. Such
circumstances usually stem from medical sources. An incomplete grade
must be removed within six (6) weeks of the next regular semester.

MID-SEMESTER EVALUATIONS FOR FRESHMEN

Mid-Semester evaluations are reported for freshman students whose work is
unsatisfactory. These reports are filed with the Registrar who then reports
them to the students concerned and their faculty advisors. The evaluation
report from the instructor may be one of two types: (a) submission of a
letter grade of "D" or "F" (b) submission of a written evaluation for
those freshmen who are performing below the satisfactory level.

ACADEMIC STANDING

All students must complete a minimum of sixteen (16) unit courses with an
average of "C" or better to be advanced to the junior year. A student whose
cummulative or semester average falls below "C" is considered to be in
academic difficulty and his academic record will be reviewed by the
Committee on Academic Standing. Such students may be placed on academic
probation, suspended, or dismissed by the Committee on Academic Standing
according to regulations established by the Faculty.

ACADEMIC PROGRAMS/ 61

ACADEMIC HONORS

The Dean's List is issued at the close of each semester in recognition of
superior scholarship. Students are admitted to the Dean's List when they
have completed at least three courses with other than S/U and have a
minimum grade point average of 3.50 for the semester.

You may be awarded the bachelor of arts degree with honors when you
have earned the following grades:

Bachelor of Arts, summa cum laude— a 3.90 grade point average.
Bachelor of Arts, magna cum laude— a 3.50 grade point average.
Bachelor of Arts, cum laude-a 3.25 grade point average.

High quality scholarship is also recognized by completion of a departmental
honors program and by election of students to membership in Honor Societies.

WITHDRAWING FROM COURSES

You may drop any course during the first two weeks of classes and no record
of such enrollment shall be made on your permanent record card. You may
also add any course during the first two weeks of classes, subject to the
approval of the instructor. If you wish to drop a course after the second
week of classes, you must secure a withdrawal card from the Office of the
Registrar. You must present this card to the instructor of the course in
question who will then assign one of the following grades:

W— Progress at the time of withdrawal cannot be determined.
WP— Progress at the time of withdrawal is satisfactory.
WF— Progress at the time of withdrawal is unsatisfactory.

This grade is then entered on your permanent record card. No withdrawal
grade is counted in the computation of the grade point average, but the
course from which you withdraw is counted as one of the thirty-eight (38)
unit courses to which you are limited in completing your degree
requirements at Lycoming.

CLASS ATTENDANCE

The academic program at Lycoming is based upon the assumption that there
is value in class attendance for all students. Individual instructors have the
prerogative of establishing reasonable absence regulations in any course.
You are responsible for learning and observing these regulations.

ACADEMIC HONESTY

The integrity of the academic process of the College requires honesty in
all phases of the instructional program. The College assumes that students
are committed to the principle of academic honesty. Students who fail to
honor this commitment are subject to dismissal from Lycoming. Procedural
guidelines and rules for the adjudication of cases of academic dishonesty
are printed in the Faculty Handbook available to students in the library.

INTERDISCIPLINARY MAJORS

ESTABLISHED INTERDISCIPLINARY MAJORS (EIM)

ACCOUNTING-MATHEMATICS

Co-ordinator— Assistant Professor Feldmann

The Accounting-Mathematics Interdisciplinary Major is designed to offer,
within a liberal arts framework, courses which will aid you in constructing
mathematical models for accounting decision making. You will obtain a
substantial background in mathematics and a working knowledge in accounting.

Majors will be only four courses short of a math major and three courses
short of an accounting major. Required accounting courses are: Elementary,
Intermediate, Cost and Budgetary Accounting Theory. In Mathematics they
are: Analytic Geometry and Calculus I, II, and III; and Linear Algebra;
plus two courses from Differential Equations, Introduction to Numberical
Analysis, and Mathematic Statistics I and II. Business courses required are
Legal Principles I and II. Recommended courses include: Computer
Science, Introduction to Statistics, Financial Management, Statistics
Applied to Business, Insurance, Principles of Economics, Industrial
Psychology, Social Psychology, and Introduction to Sociology.

LITERATURE

Co-ordinator-Associate Professor Maples

This major recognizes literature as a distinct discipline beyond national
boundaries and combines the study of any two literatures in the areas of
English, French, German, Russian, and Spanish. You can thus explore two
literatures widely and intensively at the upper levels of course offerings
within each of the respective departments while developing and applying
skills in foreign languages. The major prepares you for graduate study in
either of the two literatures studied or in Comparative Literature.

The major requires at least six literature courses, equally divided between
the two literatures concerned. The six must be at the advanced level as
determined in consultation with advisors (normally courses numbered 20 and
above in English and 40 and above in Foreign Languages). In general, two of
the advanced courses in each literature should be period courses. The third
course, taken either as a regular course or as independent study, may have
as its subject another period, a particular author, genre, or literary
theme, or some other unifying approach or idea. Beyond these six, the major
must include at least two additional courses from among those counting
toward a major in the departments involved. Any prerequisite courses in the
respective departments (for example, French 23, German 33, 34, Russian
33, 34) should be taken during the Freshman and Sophomore years. You should
design your program in consultation with a faculty member from each of the
literatures concerned. Programs for the major must be approved by the
departments involved.

64 /INTERDISCIPLINARY MAJORS

NEAR EAST CULTURE AND ARCHEOLOGY

Co-ordinator— Assistant Professor Lutz

The Near Eastern Culture and Archeology interdisciplinary major is
designed to acquaint you with the "cradle of Western civilization", both in
its ancient and modern aspects. Majors will complete a minimum of eight to
ten unit courses related to the Near East.

Required courses are described in their departmental sections and include:

1 . Three courses (semesters) in language and culture from:

A. Old Testament Faith and History (Religion 13)

B. Religions of the World— Islam and Judaism (Religion 24)

C. History and Religion of the Ancient Near East (Religion 26)

D. Culture of the Ancient Near East (Religion 27)

E. Advanced Old Testament Topics (Religion 36)

F. Judaism and Christianity in the New Testament (Religion 40)

G. Two semesters of foreign language (Hebrew 11, 12; or independent
study of related Semitic languages.)

2. Two courses (semesters) in archeology from:

A. Palestinian Archeology (Religion 46)

B. Special Archeology courses, such as "studies" or in May Term
or summer sessions.

3. Two courses (semesters) in related departments, such as: Art, History,
Political Science, Religion, and Sociology and Anthropology. These two
courses, usually taken in the junior or senior years, can be independent
study. Topics should be related either to the ancient or the modern Near
East and must be approved in advance by the committee supervising

the interdisciplinary study.

Other courses may be required by the supervisory committee but not beyond
requiring ten courses in the major. The number of courses taken within this
program applicable toward fulfilling the College distribution requirements
will vary according to the selection of courses you make.

INTERDISCIPLINARY MAJORS/ 65

SOVIET AREA STUDIES

Co-ordinator— Assistant Professor Winston

The Soviet Area Studies major is an interdisciplinary major designed to
offer, within the framework of a liberal arts education, intensified study
of the Soviet Union, communism, and related matters. The program enables you
to acquire a broader perspective of the USSR than can generally be obtained
within one discipline. A Cultural Tour of the USSR is normally available in the
May Term and can be used to satisfy one of the courses needed for 4 below.

Required courses are described in their departmental sections and include:

1. Six semesters of Russian language and/or literature
beyond the elementary level.

2. Topics in Russian and Societ History (History 46 and 47).

3. Two courses (semesters) of Senior Seminar on the USSR.

4. Four courses (semesters) from:
Comparative Economic Systems (Economics 23)
The Soviet Political System (Political Science 36)
Communist Strategies and Tactics (Political Science 37)
Social and Political Philosophy (Philosophy 22)

Under this program, up to nine courses required to satisfy the college
distribution requirements can be completed from the above courses.

INDIVIDUAL INTERDISCIPLINARY MAJORS (IIM)

Registrar Mr. Glunk

Individual Interdisciplinary Majors (IIM) usually involve two or more
departments which each already offer a major. An IIM is normally
comprised of a minimum of ten courses beyond those satisfying the
distribution requirements. If the IIM involves departments not included in
meeting the distribution requirements, then the ten courses may include
elementary courses usually used to satisfy distribution requirements.
However, you are expected to take at least six courses at the advanced
(junior or senior) level as determined in consultation with your advisors.
Any change in courses comprising the major, which may be desired or needed
as you progress, must be authorized by the Committee on Special Studies.

An IIM student is advised by a committee composed of one professor from
each department involved. You choose the chairman who functions as your
advisor of record, maintains your records, etc. The Committee on Special
Studies must certify the successful completion of the IIM for graduation.
Your transcript will show:

Interdisciplinary major in (Departments), for example:

Interdisciplinary major in Urban Studies (History, Psychology, Sociology).

Alumni

THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

The Alumni Association of Lycoming College has a membership of over
seven thousand men and women. It is governed by an Executive Board of five
officers and twenty-one members nominated and elected by the membership. The
senior class, the student body, and the last graduating class also have
representatives on the Executive Board. It annually elects a member to the
Board of Directors of the College for a three-year term. The Director of
Alumni Affairs directs the activities of the Alumni Office.

The Alumni Association of Lycoming College has two objectives: to promote
the interests of the college, and to foster among its members loyalty and
devotion to their alma mater. Any person who has successfully completed one
year of study at Lycoming College or Williamsport Dickinson Junior
College and is not enrolled as a full-time student at Lycoming College, and
all former Williamsport Dickinson Seminary students are Association members.

Acting as the representative of alumni on the campus, and working also with
undergraduates, the Alumni office aids in keeping alumni informed and
interested in the program, growth, and activities of the college through
regular publications mailed to all Alumni on record. Arrangements for
Homecoming, Alumni Day, Class Reunions, club meetings and similar activities
are coordinated through this office. The Alumni Association promotes group
travel programs, supplies back-year class rings, and sells water colors of
the campus and alumni chairs.

Through The Lycoming College Fund, the Alumni Office is closely associated
with the development program of the college. Lycoming College holds Class
A, B, and C memberships in the American Alumni Council. Communications to
the Alumni Association should be addressed to the Alumni Office.
