THE PRINCIPAL AIM OF THE COLLEGE
The principal aim of Lycoming College is to use its resources to provide for
its students the finest undergraduate education a I opportunity avail able. The
College serves primarily to help each student develop a central core of
values, awarenesses, strategies, skills, and information that is integrated
and coherent enough to lead to a productive and fulfilling life in an enor-
mously complex world, and at the same time is sufficiently open and flexible
to encourage continuous growth and development.
THE COLLEGE AND THE CHURCH
Lycoming enjoys a continuing and mutually supportive relationship with
The United Methodist Church. It has consistently supported the Methodist
tradition of providing educational opportunities for persons of all religious
faiths. Within this setting of religious concern, the search for values must
continue to be an important function of this institution.
6 /LYCOMING COLLEGE
THIS IS LYCOMING
Lycoming is a coeducational liberal arts college with a student body of
1 ,300, approximately 800 men and 500 women. The College positively af-
firms access to its programs and facilities without regard to race, creed, sex,
religion, or national origin.
At Lycoming it is believed that a liberal arts education is the best hope for an
enlightened citizenry and that vocational and professional specialization
must be built on a broad acquaintance with the various disciplines.
Programs are arranged within a liberal arts framework so that all students
study the humanities, sciences, and social sciences.
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
departments of the College; increasingly they are interdepartmental in
nature, thus permitting the student a wider range of experience in related
fields. A wide variety of individualized opportunities is also available and is
described elsewhere in this catalog under "Special Opportunities."
LOCATION
Lycoming College, in scenic North Central Pennsylvania ninety miles north
of Harnsburg, is set upon a slight prominence neardowntown Williamsport
overlooking the beautiful West Branch Valley of the Susquehanna River.
Greater Williamsport, with a population of 85,000, is within 200 miles of
Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Syracuse, Rochester, Buf-
falo, and Pittsburgh. It is easily accessible by bus, airline, and automobile.
Interstate 80 passes fifteen miles south of Williamsport; U.S. Routes 1 5 and
220 come through the city.
LYCOMING COLLEGE/ 7
HISTORY
Founded in 1812asWilliamsport Academy, it is the oldest educational in-
stitution 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 curncular
offerings to include high school and college preparatory work.
In 1848. under the patronage of The Methodist Episcopal Church, the
Academy became Williamsport Dickinson Seminary. The Seminary con-
tinued as a private boarding school until 1 929 when once again its offerings
were expanded, this time to include two years of college work. This expan-
sion resulted in 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 reputa-
tion, 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 1 948.
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 memberof 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 Penn-
sylvania since colonial times.
THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM
THE DEGREE
Lycoming College is a liberal arts institution granting the bachelor of arts
degree. A degree candidate must fulfill certain minimal course re-
quirements in breadth of learning — the distribution requirements — and in
depth of learning in a chosen subject matter field — the major. Persons
already possessing a bachelor's degree from another institution may enroll
in a degree program at Lycoming. These persons will be expected to com-
plete all graduation requirements in effect atthe time of theiradmission and
they must complete a major other than the one completed to satisfy the re-
quirements of the first bachelor's degree. Also, additional academic re-
quirements may be prescribed to remove any deficiencies. In these cases,
credits from other institutions will be accepted on the same basis as credits
for regular transfer students.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
Every degree candidate must complete the following degree requirements:
1. Pass a minimum of 128 semester hours (32 unit courses) with a
cumulative average of 2.0 or better. Additional credits beyond 128
semester hours may be completed provided the 2.0 grade pointaverage
is maintained. A student is subject to suspension or dismissal at the time
the number of unsuccessful course attempts (grades of F, U, W, WP. WF)
exceeds 24 semester hours except in case of withdrawal for medical or
psychological reasons. Exceptions may be granted by the Committeeon
Academic Standing in case of readmission and transfer applicants.
2. Complete a major consisting of at least eight (8) courses.
3. Achieve an average of 2.0 or betterfor 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 con-
tinuous enrollment following the date of matriculation. All exemptions or
waivers of specific requirements are made by the Committee on
Academic Standing.
'This 2.0 average or better must be attained in those courses stipulated ascomprising the major.
This requirement is not met by averaging the grades for all courses completed in the major depart-
ment.
"Exemption, for medical reasons, from participation in physical activity associated with physical
education may be granted only by the Col lege Physician who considers your medical history, your
physician's report, and a physical examination.
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
8
THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM/ 9
equivalent to four semester hours of academic work. Each course meets on
a schedule set by the department and the instructor involved. Such
meetings may be on a lecture, discussion, laboratory, ortutonal basis. Vary-
ing amounts of additional study, reading, writing, and research will be re-
quired for each course. Most students elect four courses each semester.
Students may elect to enroll in five (5) courses during any semester provid-
ed they are Lycoming Scholars or were admitted to the Dean's List during
the preceding semester. Other students may petition the Dean of the
College for approval to take five courses. You can accelerate by taking
courses in the May Term and summer sessions.
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 56, are available in:
Accounting History
Art Mathematics
Astronomy Music
Biology Philosophy
Business Administration Physics
Chemistry Political Science
Economics Psychology
English Religion
Foreign Languages Sociology — Anthropology
French Russian Theatre
German Spanish
You may complete additional 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 Faculty. The following ElM's. as de-
scribed in The Curriculum section, are available:
Accounting -Mathematics Literature
American Studies Mass Communications
Criminal Justice Near East Culture and Archeology
International Studies Soviet Area Studies
INDIVIDUAL INTERDISCIPLINARY MAJOR (MM)
You may take the initiative and design a unique individual interdisciplinary
Major (IIM) in consultation with your faculty advisor. You may apply for ap-
proval of an IIM to the Committee on Curriculum Development via the
Registrar, who will provide a copy of the Guidelines For Interdisciplinary Ma-
jors and other necessary forms.
W/THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM
Individual Interdisciplinary Majors usually involve two or mo re departments,
each of which offers a major. An IIM is normally comprised of a minimum of
ten courses beyond those satisfying distribution requirements. If the IIM in-
volves 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 consulta-
tion 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 Curriculum Development.
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 your ad visor. The Committee on Curriculum Development must
certify the successful completion of the IIM for graduation.
An example of a transcript entry is:
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 Curriculum Development in
conformity with established policy.
If the Committee on Curriculum Development, 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 sub-
mitthese reasons, in writing, to the Dean of the Collegewho. afterconsulta-
tion with you. will decide whether or not you are to be removed from major
status. The Committee on Curriculum Development, the Coordinating Com-
mittee 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.
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 faculty ad-
visor, 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 advisor who meets
with you as needed during the year. You will find your advisor willing to
guide and assist in the many problems that confront a new college student.
All students are required to have an assigned advisor. Students who have
declared a major must have an advisor from within the majordepartmentor
THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM/ 7 1
program. The advising program is thought to be an important part of the
Lycoming academic experience; however, students are expected to accept
full responsibility for their academic programs, including satisfactorily
completing the requirements established by the College which are
associated with them.
DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS
One of the reasons a student chooses to come to Lycoming is a desire to ob-
tain a breadth of knowledge in manyareas, a liberal arts education. Students
who deliberately elect to attend a liberal arts college are interested in more
than training in a narrow major; they want knowledge in an area of special
interest, their 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 diver-
sity 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 thro ugh the study of various dis-
ciplines.
By taking different kinds of subjects, you can discover numerous ways of
seeing things. You can gain advantage of learning to view events and ap-
proach problems and questions from various points of view. You can dis-
cover 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 the six groups outlined below. The aim is notthe gar-
nering 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. History and Social Science may be partially met by superior perfor-
mance on the General Examinations of the College Level Examination
Program (CLEP). Further information about CLEP may be obtained from the
Office of the Registrar.
Courses for which a grade of S is recorded may not be used toward the
fulfillment of the distribution requirement. Students may not register for
English I on an S/U basis.
ENGLISH
You are required to pass English I and one other English course. English I
must be taken during the Freshman year. By passing the CLEP General Ex-
amination you may be exempted from English I. This examination is offered
during Freshman Orientation.
12 /THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM
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, including Mathematics 5. By passing the Mathematics Place-
ment Examination you may exempt Mathematics 5. thereby reducing the re-
quirement to three courses in mathematics. By demonstrating additional
competence on the Placement Examination you may reduce the require-
ment to two courses in mathematics other than Mathematics 5.
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 and literatures. No student who has
had two or more years of a given language in high school shall be admitted
to the elementary course in the same foreign language for credit, except by
written permission from the chairman of the department. French 28, Rus-
sian 1 7, 28. 33, 35, 36, 47 and Spanish 28 will meet part of this require-
ment only if the section taught in the language is completed.
RELIGION OR PHILOSOPHY

per week in courses numbered 60 through 66.
THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM/ 13
C. 1 semester hour of credit per semester for Music 67. 68. or 69.
3. Complete one academic course (Music 1 through 59 and Music 70's)
plus the equivalent of four semester hours earned fractionally in applied
music courses 60 through 69 as explained in "2" above.
Theatre. You may complete any two theatre courses 1 and above to satisfy
this requirement. Theatre I (Fundamentals of Oral Communication) does not
satisfy this requirement.
NATURAL SCIENCE

biology, chemistry, or physics.
HISTORY AND SOCIAL SCIENCE
You are required to pass two courses in one of the following:
Economics. You may complete any two courses.

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 receive a maximum of four grades with S or U. Only one course
may be taken on this basis during any semester. No course takenonanS/U
basis after the declaration of the major and approval by the department in-
volved may be used to satisfya requirement of thatmajor, including courses
required by the major department which are offered by other departments.
Instructor-designed S/U courses are excepted from this limitation. Courses
for which a grade of S is recorded may not be used toward the fulfillment of
any distribution requirement. Students may not register for English 1 on an
S/U basis.
During the May Term, instructors, with the approval of the Dean of the
College, may designate courses to be taken on an S/U basis only. These
courses will not count toward the four-course limit. A course selected 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 or B. If the letter grade actually earned by the
student equals or exceeds the minimum acceptable letter designated by the
14 /THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM
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 substitutean Sforany passing grade. (A, B, C
or D) and a U for an F grade.
The student shall declare bytheend of the period during which coursesmay
be added an intention to be graded on an S/U basis. Atthe same time, and
except for instructor designated S/U courses, the student will indicate a
minimum acceptable letter grade. 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 be-
ing graded on the regular basis.
You will receive full credit for a course passed with a Satisfactory grade.
Neither the S nor the U counts 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 cir-
cumstances 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 letter
grade of D or F (b) submission of a written evaluation for those freshmen
who are performing below the satisfactory level.
ACADEMIC HONESTY
The integrity of the academic process of the College requires honesty in all
phases of the instructional program. The Col lege assumes that students a re
committed to the principle of academic honesty. Students whofail 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 and Pathfinder available to students in
the library.
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 four courses with other than S/U grades during any
fall or spring semester and have a minimum grade point average of 3. 50 for
the semester.
You will be awarded the bachelor of arts degree with honors when you have
earned the following averages based on all courses attempted, including
courses transferred from other institutions to Lycoming:
THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM/ 1 5
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.
ACADEMIC STANDING
Students whose cumulative or semester averages fall below "C" are con-
sidered to be in academic difficulty and their academic record will be
reviewed by the Dean of the College. Such students may be placed on
academic probation, suspended, or dismissed according to regulations es-
tablished by the Faculty.
CLASS ATTENDANCE
The academic program at Lycoming is based upon the assumption that
there is value in class attendancefor all students. Individual instructors have
the prerogative of establishing reasonable absence regulations in any
course. You are responsible for learning and observing these regulations.
STUDENT RECORDS
The policy regarding student educational records is designed to protectthe
privacy of students against unwarranted intrusions and is consistent with
Section 438 of the General Education Provision Act (commonly known as
the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1 974, as amended). The
details of the College's policy on student records and the procedure for
gaining access to student records are contained in the current issue of the
Pathfinder.
WITHDRAWING FROM COURSES
You may drop any course during the first ten days 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 ten days of classes, but the approval of
the instructor is required during the last five days. If you wish to drop a
course between the tenth day and the twelfth week of classes you must
secure a withdrawal form from the Office of the Registrar. You must present
this form 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. Students
may not withdraw from courses after the twelfth week of a semester. A stu-
dent is subject to suspension or dismissal at the time the number of un-
successful attempts (grades of F, U, W, WP. WF) exceeds 24 semester
hours, except in case of withdrawal for medical or psychological reasons.
SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES
LYCOMING SCHOLAR PROGRAM
Designed for superior students, the Lycoming Scholar Program parallels
but goes beyond the standard liberal arts curriculum (as represented by the
catalog's distribution requirements) in providing participantsopportunities
to achieve excellent basic skills, to see concretely the interrrelatedness of
knowledge, to experience the values of independent study. Persons with the
following qualities would most likely benefit from this unique program:
High intellectual ability initially indicated by class standing, grades, and
combined SAT scores;
Curiosity, motivation, imagination, creativity, and a desire for excellence;
Commitment to the value of intellectual dialog and the ability to work in-
dependently.
BASIC SKILLS
The Lycoming Scholar is trained to demonstrate unusual proficiency in
communication (writing and speaking), foreign language (the intermediate
level or beyond), and quantitative studies (math and math-oriented dis-
ciplines).
INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES
As a prelude to work in this part of the curriculum, Scholars take the First-
Year Scholar Seminar, wherein they are introduced to the philosophy of
liberal studies, the four divisions of learning, and a trans-disciplinary project
which demonstrates the program's approach to learning in a concrete way.
Following the First-Year Scholar Seminar, students complete course work in
the curriculum's Interdisciplinary Studies. The heart of the program, these
studies are constructed to reveal the interrelatedness of knowledge, as
defined by the four divisions: Studies in Society, Philosophy and Religion,
Literature and Fine Arts, and Quantitative Studies which include
mathematics, the traditional sciences, and the quantitative "social"
sciences. Scholars take at least two courses in each division (three in Quan-
titative Studies). These courses are selected from one of two specially-
designed, trans-disciplinary tracks. For example, in the Studies in Society
division, students might opt for the "American Scene" track and choose two
or three courses from the fields of political science, economics, history,
sociology, and American Studies that focus on various aspects of the
general topic. Following these courses, the student enrolls in a seminar
specifically created for that track. In the seminar the student sees the impor-
tance of each discipline's methodologies and in sights for an understanding
of American society. In addition, the student knows concretely that
knowledge is not hermetically sealed but that the insights of a given dis-
cipline depend on those of the others, that all learning is concrescent and
symbiotic. Such understanding is the core experience of the Scholar
Program.
Students select at least ten courses in this part of the curriculum and four
Scholar Seminars, one seminar for each division.
16
SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES/ 17
SPECIALIZED STUDY
In addition to the above general requirements, Scholars complete a major
and present a Senior Project. Normally the Senior Project is based on an in-
dependent or honors study done in the major field and is addressed to the
entire Scholar audience. This project is the capstone of the Scholar's career.
LYCOMING EXPERIMENTAL AUDIT PROGRAM (L.E.A.P.)
As a special service to the community it serves. Lycoming offers any person
within commuting distance of the College an opportunity to try higher
education at a minimal cost through its Experimental Audit Program.
Anyone may take one course per semester on an audit basis (no credit)—
free. You can take advantage of this opportunity simply by paying the
$ 1 5.00 application fee each time you enroll. No tuition will be charged; you
will be responsible for any special charges such as lab fees, material costs,
transportation, etc. .when special charges are normally made for the course.
At the registration for any session you may enroll in a particular course and
be accepted for that course at the end of the registration period if the class
has not been filled.
Currently enrolled students may also take advantage of the Experimental
Audit Program, once without charge. The course will not be counted in any
way toward graduation requirements, affect any charges due, nor have any
bearing on your status as a full or part-time student.
REGULAR AUDIT
Any person may audit a course at Lycoming at one-half the tuition for one
course. Any lab fees and other extra costs must be paid. Credit may not be
given for an audited course. An experimental or regular audit course can not
be converted to a credit course after the drop-add period for the semester
the course is taken. No exams or papers are required of students auditing a
course, but individual arrangements may be made to participate in these ac-
tivities with the consent of the instructor.
SPECIAL STUDENT (Part-Time for Credit)
Any person may take up to two courses during any semester (one in May
Term). A part-time special student pays the $ 1 5.00 application fee for the
first registration and pays the part-time rate in effect. Three or more courses
a semester constitute a full-time schedule and the student must first be
accepted by the Admissions Office as a regular student subject to full-time
student fees and procedures.
SPECIALLY DESIGNED COURSES
Lycoming is eager to serve the special educational needs which arise in the
community. Short courses, institutes, workshops, special semesters, and
long-term training programs to fill the specific needs" of any interested
group can be designed on a credit or no n -credit basis. They can be given on
or off campus. For more information contact the Dean of the College.
18/ SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES
LIFE LONG LEARNING
The program consists of short (3-7 weeks) non-credit courses offered
throughout the year. Courses have included: How to Listen to a Symphony,
Photography. Investment Fundamentals. Preparation of Federal Personal
Income Tax Forms, Astronomy Today, The American Revolution, Inflation,
Rapid Reading, Photography, Greek Folk Dancing and Culture.
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 domestic or foreign travel; others offer inter-
disciplinary credit. Most of the May Term courses are non-traditional in
nature and are not offered during the regular academic year.
While the number of courses offered during the May Term may vary
somewhat from year to year, the faculty generally offers approximately fifty
courses. Illustrations of the types of courses offered during the May Term
are as follows:
For students wishing to travel abroad, a cultural tour of the Soviet Union has
been offered, with stops in Moscow, Leningrad, Novgorod, Kiev, and
Budapest, as well as Denmark, Finland and West Germany. London in May
has been a popular course, exploring the arts, attending plays and operas,
and meeting with actors, directors, and teachers. From time to time, other
cultural tours may be arranged, such as tours of Germany, Spain, France, or
Ireland. Student demand often determines which cultural tours are offered,
since instructors wish to assemble cultural tours based upon student in-
terest.
A number of May Term courses, while not cultural tours, are conducted off-
campus. The Department of Biology offers a popular course in Marine
Biology and Biological Oceanography based atthe Bermuda Biological Sta-
tion for Research. Other areas or states visited in the past have included the
Caribbean area. New Mexico, New York, Vermont, Maine, and Virginia.
Although student participation in the May Term is voluntary, response has
been outstanding, with about 25 to 30 percent of the student body par-
ticipating. Classes are generally small and very informal, so that students
may develop close personal relationships among themselves and between
themselves and the instructor.
One less obvious advantage of scheduling May Term courses lies in the
savings in tuition charges. In order to attract students to the program tuition
has been reduced about 40 percent. For the 1 977 May Term, tuition was
$200 per unit course. Room charges were $75 and board charges were
$85. Other expenses, such as travel, books and supplies, will vary from
course to course.
STUDENT ENRICHMENT SEMESTER
To expand academic and life opportunities for its students and to increase
their chances to participate in specialized programs and courses not
SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES/ 19
available at the home institution, Lycoming is a participant in the Student
Enrichment Semester (SES) program. Other members are Bloomsburg,
Bucknell, Lock Haven. Mansfield, Susquehanna, and Williamsport Area
Community College.
In your upperclass years, beyond freshman, you will be able to enroll for
credit as a full-time student, normally for one term, at any co-operating in-
stitution. Each SES college will stipulate which of its courses and programs
will be open to SES students. Lycoming will approve the courses, programs,
and credits according to its own policies and procedures.
As an SES student, you will remain fully enrolled in your degree program at
Lycoming and will simultaneously enroll, on a full-time basis, at the host in-
stitution according to its definition of full-time enrollment. You will be sub-
ject to the rules and regulations of the host institution while there. It will ex-
tend all opportunities and benefits to you, as an SES student, that it provides
for its own students, such as library, housing, meals, cultural activities, stu-
dent organizations and activities, except where legal constraints provide
otherwise. You will not be eligible for financial aid from any host institution.
SES students will pay tuition to Lycoming according to prevailing policies,
including charges and deferred payment plans. Applicable non-tuition fees,
such as room and board charges and student activities fees, will be paid to
the host college.
A special opportunity within the SES program is the cross-registration
arrangement with the Williamsport Area Community College whereby
students may enroll for less than a full-time course load while remaining
enrolled in courses at Lycoming.
INDEPENDENT STUDY
Each department granting a major provides opportunity to students to work
independently. Upon consent of the department chairman and the instruc-
tor, you may register for courses in Independent Study. Normally, the oppor-
tunity 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 unitduring 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 depend upon the approval of the
department involved.
20/ SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES
DEPARTMENTAL HONORS
If you desire to enter an Honors program and securedepartmental 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 evalua-
tion 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 defend-
ed 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.
THE WASHINGTON SEMESTER
Upon recommendation of the Department of Political Science, selected
students are permitted to attend The American University in Washington,
D.C., for one full semester. Participating students may choose from seven
different Washington Semester Programs: (1) Washington Semester,
(2) Washington Urban Semester, (3) Foreign Policy Semester, (4) Inter-
national Development Semester, (5) Washington Economic Policy
Semester, (6) Washington Science and Technology Semester, and
(7) American Studies. Ordinarily, students must have junior standing to
participate. Eligible students with an interest in any of the above programs
should consult with the Chairman of Political Science for further informa-
tion.
INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
An internship is a course jointly sponsored by the College and a public or
private agency or a subdivision of the College itself, in which a student is
enabled to earn college credit by participating in some active capacity as an
assistant, aide, or apprentice. The objectives of the internship program are
1) to further the development, by students, of a central core of values,
awarenesses, strategies, skills, and information through experiences out-
side the classroom or other campus situations, and 2) to facilitate the in-
tegration of theory and practice, by encouraging studentsto relate theiron-
campus academic experiences more directly to society in general and to
possible career and other post-baccalaureate objectives in particular.
Any junior or senior student in good academic standing may petition the
Committee on Individual Studies for approval to serve as an intern for one or
two semesters. A maximum of sixteen credits can be earned. Guidelines for
program development, assignment of tasks, and academic requirements
such as exams, papers, reports, grades, etc.. areestablished in consultation
with a faculty director at Lycoming and an agency supervisor at the place of
internship.
SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES/21
Students with diverse majors have participated in a wide variety of in-
ternships including the Allenwood Prison Camp, Community Health Center,
County Commissioners Office, Department of Environmental Resources,
Headstart, Historical Society, business and accounting firms, law offices,

22/SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES
LIBRARY
Located in the Academic Center, the Library is the center of the liberal arts
community at Lycoming College, both intellectually and geographically.
The library collection, numbering 125,000 volumes and 900 periodical
subscriptions, is designed to support all academic programs of the college
as well as independent study and other scholarly research. In addition, the
Library supports an active inter-library loan program.
Facilities include the campus audio-visual center, group study rooms,
photocopying equipment, the Historical Room containing memorabilia
associated with the history of the College as well as housing the collection
of the Central Pennsylvania Conference of The United Methodist Church,
and a large study lounge. The latter also serves as the meeting place of the
Wednesday Library Forum, a wide-ranging series of intellectual and artistic
presentations designed to promote an exchange of ideas between students,
faculty and outside guests in an informal setting.
The Library is a United States Government Depository, a memberof the Sus-
quehanna Library Cooperative and a member of the Ohio College Library
Center (OCLC) which links it, via computer, to over 1300 other libraries
throughout the country.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AND
COOPERATIVE PROGRAMS
Students who attend a liberal arts institution find numerous career oppor-
tunities 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 flexibility to pursue various career avenues, as il-
lustrated by the careers entered by a few of our typical recent graduates. An
English major secured employment as a housing counselor for the govern-
ment; 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 stu-
dent attending law school; a history major, as a branch manager in a bank-
ing firm, a political science major, as a county law enforcement agent; a
business major, as a technical assistant in a television station; a theatre ma-
jor, as a counselor for underprivileged children. In general, a liberal arts
education provides a foundation for students to pursue the type of career
which focuses upon their abilities, interests, and aspirations.
Today's employers are seeking college graduates with broad academic
backgrounds. The primary characteristics desired by employers are in-
telligence, communication skills, leadership ability, community involve-
ment, and career identification. Employers believe such individuals will be
better able to handle the various problems they 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 students, beginning in theirfreshman year, to crystallize theirfuture
plans. Through career counseling, career workshops, career information,
and similar vehicles, the Career Development Center strives to help each
student.
Your course of study at Lycoming will help you to gam greater insight into
many aspects of your wo rid 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 elemen-
tary to an advanced level, various fields that may lead to a vocation ordirect
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 ap-
propriate department, or to a special assigned advisor. Admission to Lycom-
ing College and registration in any of the cooperative prog rams listed below
do not guarantee students admission to the cooperating institution,
whether it is a hospital, college or university. The prerogative of admitting
students to the cooperative aspect of the program rests with the
cooperating institution.
ACCOUNTING
There are many reasons for continued rapid growth of the accounting
profession in the foreseeable future. Lycoming offers a rigorous com-
prehensive program of undergraduate training in accounting leading to the
23
24 /CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AND COOPERATIVE PROGRAMS
bachelor of arts. The most important aspect of an accountant's service to
clients and to the public cannot be defined as knowledge, nor even as ex-
perience, but must be described by more elusive terms: wisdom, perception,
imagination, circumspection, judgment, 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 com-
municate ideas verbally and in written form; show a potential ability to ex-
press and to interpretabstraction; and demonstrate a personality capable of
developing qualities of business and community leadership.
BUSINESS
Lycoming offers course work in the field of business administration par-
ticularly 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 ap-
preciation for rigorous analysis, to practice the arts of verbal and written
communication, and to expose the developing mind to as wide as possible
range of course work represented by the traditional liberal arts curriculum,
to the end that you become truly well educated. Considerable flexibility is
permissible with the curriculum, and you are encouraged to pursue course
work most rewarding to you.
COOPERATIVE PROGRAM IN 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 medicaltechnology maybe made in eitherof two
ways: the attainment of the B.A. followed by a clinical internship at any ac-
credited hospital, or by completion of the Lycoming Cooperative Program.
A student electing to follow the Cooperative Program in Medical
Technology will normally spend three years at Lycoming. During this time
the student must satisfy the general college distribution requirements, ma-
jor and ASCP (American Society Clinical Pathologists) requirements and
must successfully complete twenty-four unit courses. The ASCP currently
requires four courses in chemistry (one of which must be either organic or
biochemistry), four courses in biology (one of which must be microbiology)
and a course in mathematics. Three-year students usually major in biology,
where they are allowed to follow a modified major of six unit courses which
exempts them from two biology core courses. Ecology (Biology 24) and
Plant Sciences (Biology 25). Students must also take either Animal
Physiology (Biology 23) or Cell Physiology (Biology 35). Also required as
part of the Cooperative Program is the successful completion of a one-year
internship at an ASCP accredited hospital. Lycoming College is currently af-
filiated with the following accredited institutions: Williamsport Hospital.
Divine Providence Hospital. Robert Packer Hospital, Lancaster General
Hospital, and Abington Hospital. Three-year students will be given Lycom-
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AND COOPERATIVE PROGRAMS/25
ing credit for each of eight unit courses in biology and chemistry taken dur-
ing the clinical internship. Lycoming does not consider the Registry ex-
amination a requirement for graduation.
A student graduating from Lycoming College before entering a one-year
hospital internship must satisfy all college, major and ASCP requirements
and is not eligible for any course exemptions mentioned above. Once
graduated from Lycoming, the student may apply for admission to a clinical
program at any hospital.
Those interested in a medical technology career should contact members of
the Medical Technology Advisory Committee orthechairman of the Biology
Department before finalizing course decisions.
CROSS ENROLLMENT PROGRAM IN
MILITARY SCIENCE (R.O.T.C.)
This is an opportunity for Lycoming students to enroll on a non-credit,
voluntary basis in the Bucknell University R.O.T.C. program. Enrollment is
regarded as occurring between the student and the Bucknell R.O.T.C. unit
directly. No tuition compensation is exchanged. Lycoming notes enrollment
in and successful completion of the R.O.T.C. program, as appropriate, on
student transcripts.
Military Science is a four-year course divided into a basic coursegiven dur-
ing the Freshman and Sophomore years and an advance course given dur-
ing theJuniorand Senior years. There is also a special program available to
selected students who were unable to take the basic course which permits
them to enroll in the advanced course after completing a basic summer
camp between the Sophomore and Junior years. Students attending the
basic summer camp are paid at a rate equivalent to one-half of the basic pay
for a Second Lieutenant with under two years of service and they also
receive subsistence, housing, uniforms and medical care at government ex-
pense. Transportation to and from summer camp is also furnished at
government expense.
Students enrolled in the advanced course of Military Science receive a
monthly subsistence pay of $ 1 00 a month, not to exceed 1 months a year.
To successfully complete the advanced course, students must attend an ad-
vanced summer camp between their Junior and Senior years. While at
summer camp, they are also paid at a rate quivalent to one-half of the basic
pay for a Second Lieutenant with under two years of service and they also
receive the same benefits mentioned above at government expense.
Students successfully completing the advanced course of Military Science
will qualify for a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the United States
Army upon graduation and will incur a service obligation in the active Army
or Army Reserves. Active duty requirements will vary with the type of com-
mission accepted.
All books, uniforms, and other military equipment necessary for instruction
in the Military Science Department are furnished without expense to the stu-
dent other than the deposit referred to under "Entry Fee and Deposits."
26 /CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AND COOPERATIVE PROGRAMS
PLANETARIUM EDUCATION
A unique feature of the major in astronomy at Lycoming is that it has been
specifically designed to train students in planetarium operation. The se-
quence of courses in astronomy and physics provides the breadth of
knowledge that a planetarium educator needs. In addition, students gain
practical experience by serving as lecturers in the college's Detwiler
Planetarium. Entering the field of planetarium education is a way for
students who are interested in astronomy but who do not plan to go on to
graduate school, to establish professional contact with the community of
research astronomers.
Students in other majors (particularly those who are planning on careers in
teaching) may wish to acquire some experience in planetarium operation.
They can do so by taking the two courses. Principles of Astronomy
(Astronomy and Physics 1 1 ) and Planetarium Techniques (Astronomy and
Physics 30).
For more information, please contact the Department of Astronomy and
Physics.
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 (with biology and astronomy-physics tracks), German,
mathematics, physics, Russian, social studies, 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 sur-
rounding areas are used by education students for observation, participa-
tion experiences, and practice teaching.
Lycoming feels that the best preparation for future teachers is based on the
liberal arts. Thereto re, 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 should register with the
Education Office no later than registration for the first semester of the
sophomore year.
Application for the Professional Semester must be made before October 1 st
of the junior year. The Education Department will admit to the Professional
Semester those applicants who have a minimum cumulative grade point
average of 2.00; are in good academic standing; have satisfactorily com-
pleted the participation requirement(s); have paid the student teaching fee;
have had an interview with a member of the Education Department; and are
recommended by their major department and the Education Department.
Since departments have different criteria for their recommendation,
students should consult with the chairman of their major department about
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AND COOPERATIVE PROGRAMS/ 27
those requirements as soon as they begin to consider studying for certifica-
tion.
COOPERATIVE PROGRAM IN DRAMA
The American Academy of Dramatic Arts and Lycoming recognize appro-
priate 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 re-
quirement is two summers with The Arena Theatre and two consecutive
semesters in an academic year. Summer session course work may be re-
quired. Each case is subject to review. The affiliation with the Academy per-
mits 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.
COOPERATIVE PROGRAM IN ENGINEERING
In cooperation with Bucknell University and The Pennsylvania State Uni-
versity. Lycoming College, through its Department of Astronomy and
Physics, offers a five-year program in engineering in which the first three
years are spent at Lycoming andthefinal two at the engineering school. This
combines the many advantages of a liberal arts education at a small college
with the technical training of an engineering school.
If the first year of work at the engineering school is satisfactory, Lycoming
will award the bachelor of arts degree. Upon completion of thefull five-year
program, the engineering school will award a bachelor of science in
engineering. The following engineering specialties may be studied:
chemical, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering at Bucknell Univer-
sity, and aeronautical, civil, electrical, industrial, mechanical, and sanitary
engineering at The Pennsylvania State University.
At Lycoming, a student completes the college distribution requirements and
takescourses in physics, mathematicsand chemistry. To be certain of taking
all the necessary coursesduring thethreeyears at Lycoming, it is imperative
that any student interested in this program consultwith afacultymemberof
the Department of Astronomy and Physics as early as possible— preferably
during the summer orientation session and certainly not later than the first
week of the student's first semester at Lycoming.
COOPERATIVE PROGRAMS IN FORESTRY OR
ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES
Professional and scientific programs of study in forestry or environmental
studies are offered in cooperation with the School of Forestry and En-
vironmental Studies, Duke University. You will spend three years in
residence at Lycoming and an additional five semesters at Duke. Upon
satisfactory completion of two semesters at Duke you will have earned the
A.B. degree from Lycoming, and upon completing the remainder of the
28 /CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AND COOPERATIVE PROGRAMS
program will be awarded the M.F., M.S., or M.E.M. degree from Duke,
depending upon the nature of the program.
You should indicate to the Admissions Office that you wish to enroll in the
Forestry/Environmental Studies program. At the end of the first term of the
third year. Lycoming recommends qualified students for admission to the
Duke School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. No application need be
made to Duke University before then.
Major fields of forestry at Duke are:
FOREST RESOURCE ADMINISTRATION FOREST SCIENCE
Forest Resource Management Forest Ecology
Forest Protection Forest Pathology
Forest Resource Economics and Policy Tree Physiology
Biometry & Statistics Tree Biochemistry
Systems Analysis Dendrology & Wood
Anatomy
Forest Hydrology
Forest Meteorology
Forest Soils
If you are interested in Forest Resource Administration you are advised to
elect a concentration in biology, business management, mathematics,
economics, computer science, statistics, or sociology. If you plan a career in
Forest Science, you should strengthen your backgrounds in biology,
chemistry, mathematics, and physics. Typical programs in fields offered at
Duke are available upon request from the Dean of the School of Forestry and
Environmental Studies, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27706.
Students interested in these programs must register with the Cooperative
Forestry Program Coordinator, Biology Department.
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 un-
dergraduate 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. Also, they sometimes require a reading
knowledge of one or two foreign languages. You should consult departmen-
tal advisors early in your college years with respect to planning for entrance
to graduate school.
PREPARATION FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONS
The curriculum for the pre-Health Professions (allopathic medicine, dental
medicine, optometric medicine, osteopathic medicine, podiatric medicine,
and veterinary medicine) is organized around a solid foundation in biology,
chemistry, English, mathematics, and physics. A wide range of subject
matterfrom the humanities, social sciences, and fine arts should be includ-
ed in the program. At least three years of undergraduate study is
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AND COOPERATIVE PROGRAMS/ 29
recommended before entry into the professional school; the normal
procedure is to complete the bachelor of arts degree.
You should indicate to the Ad missions Off ice, when completing the applica-
tion to Lycoming College, that you wish to enroll in the pre-Health
Professions (various fields of medicine) program. The Health Professions
Advisory Committee (HPAC) will advise you concerning preparation for and
application to a health professional school. (See also Cooperative Program
in Podiatry.)
PREPARATION FOR LEGAL PROFESSIONS
Lycoming offers a strong academic preparation for students interested in
law as a profession. Admission to law school is not predicated upon a par-
ticular major or area of study; rather, a student is encouraged to design a
course of study (traditional or interdisciplinary major) which is of personal
interest and significance to the student. Yet, while no specific major is
recommended, there are certain skills which are of particular relevance to
the pre-law student and these should be developed during the un-
dergraduate years; clear writing, analytical thinking and language com-
prehension.
Students who are pursuing law as a career should register with the Legal
Professions Advisory Committee (LPAC) upon entering Lycoming and
should join the Pre-Law Club on campus. LPAC assists the pre-law student
through advisement, compilation of recommendations and dissemination
of information and materials about law and the legal profession. Among its
activities. LPAC sponsors Pre-LSAT Workshops to help prepare students for
the Law Boards and an annual Pre-Law Night which brings to campus ad-
mission deans, law students and practicing lawyers. The Pre-Law Club is an
organization for students with a common interest in the law. In the past, the
Club has sponsored films, speakers and field trips, including several to the
United States Supreme Court.
COOPERATIVE PROGRAM IN PODIATRY
Throuah the Accelerated Podiatric Medical Education Curriculum Program
(APMEC). pre-health professions students interested in a career in podiatry
may qualify for admission to the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine
(PCPM) after only three years at Lycoming College. (This is one of two routes
that students may choose. Any student, of course, may follow the regular
application procedures for admission to PCPM or another College of
Podiatric Medicine to matriculate following completion of his or her bac-
calaureate program.) During the three years at Lycoming College, the stu-
dent will complete 24 unit courses, including all distribution requirements.
and will prepare for his or her professional training by obtaining a solid
foundation in biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. During thefirst
year of study at PCPM, the student will take the equivalent of 48 semester
hours of basic science courses in addition to an introduction to podiatry.
Successful completion of the first year of professional training will con-
tribute toward the fulfillment of the course requirements forthe BA. degree
at Lycoming College.
30 /CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AND COOPERATIVE PROGRAMS
Most students in the cooperative program will major in biology; if so. they
will be allowed to complete a modified major which will exempt them from
two biology courses: Ecology (Biology 24) and Plant Sciences (Biology 25).
(This modified major requires the successful completion of the initial year at
PCPM.)
Students interested in a career in podiatry should indicate their intentions to
the Health Professions Advisory Committee.
PREPARATION FOR THEOLOGICAL PROFESSIONS
As a church-related school. Lycoming well understands the academic, per-
sonal, and social needs of students who want to prepare themselves for the
ministry, religious education, advanced training in religion, or related
vocations. In particular, the Theological Professions Advisory Committee
(TPAC) acts as a "center" for bringing together interested students, faculty,
and clergy for discussions, advisement, and activities; also, it may help
coordinate internships for those who desire practical experience in the
parish ministry or related areas. Upon entering Lycoming, students should
register with TPAC if they plan to investigate the religious vocations.
Generally speaking, students preparing to attend a theological seminary
should examine the suggestions set down by the Association of Theological
Schools (available from TPAC). Recommended is a broad program in the
liberal arts, which incidentally is largely met by Lycoming's distribution re-
quirements; a major in one of the humanities (English, languages, literature,
philosophy, religion), history, or one of the social sciences (American
Studies, criminal justice, economics, international studies, political
science, psychology, sociology-anthropology); and a variety of electives.
The choice of electives will depend on the requirements of the theological
school. Students preparing for a career in religiouseducation should major
in Religion and elect five or six courses in psychology, education and
sociology. Such a program of study will qualify students to work as an
Educational Assistant, or after graduate study in a theological seminary, as a
Director of Religious Education. TPAC will be happy to assist students as
they plan their programs.
STUDENT SERVICES
The Office of Student Services is concerned with various aspects of your
development. On the staff of the Dean of Student Services are three
associates, each of whom lives on campus and is available for counseling
and advising students with individual problems. In addition, each staff
member is responsible for specific assignments such as: Religious Ac-
tivities. Health Service. Organizational Life, Student Activities, the Student
Union, Housing, Special Programs, Career Counseling and Placement.
PERSONAL COUNSELING
The Dean of Student Services and his staff provide advisement and counsel-
ing for students with emotional and adjustment problems. Each member of
the staff is qualified to give assistance of a non-therapeutic type. A psy-
chiatrist serves as a consultantto the staff and is available for evaluation of
students who may be in need of professional services. Continuing therapy is
available only through referral to public agencies and private clinicians in
the community. When a student uses the services of a private clinician, he is
responsible for the payment of his own fees.
HEALTH SERVICE

CAREER DEVELOPMENT CENTER
The Career Development Center provides a variety of services to help each
student in preparing for a meaningful career.
At Lycoming, we believe that many students need, and can be assisted in
developing, realistic long-range educational and careergoals. Beginning in
the student's freshman year, the Career Development Center attempts to
help the individual resolve questions that are important but often puzzling
and perplexing. "What are my interests, abilities and needs? What major
should I select? What are the career trends and employment out looks? What
can I do to better prepare for employment in my chosen field?" All freshmen
are strongly encouraged to avail themselves of individual counseling with a
career counselor. Career planning seminars in value clarification, skill
assessment, and decision making aresupportive of thefreshman program.
In today's labor market, it is imperative that students have the opportunity to
explore a variety of career avenues. Lycoming's program encourages such
investigation through a comprehensive and up-to-date career library,
video-cassette presentations, newsletters, and a speaker's program which
brings people from various career specialties to the campus weekly to talk
with students. First-hand exploration of different occupations and
professions is afforded by the SHARE (Students Having A Real Experience)
and internship programs. Participating students observe and work with
professional and other specialists on adailybasisfora period of time, giving
students a real insight into the problems and solutions that characterize a
particular field.
During the student's senior year, the Career Development Center plays an
active role in assisting seniors to secure employment or admission to
graduate or professional school. Thirty-four placement services are provid-
ed to assist seniors in implementing their career plans. The nucleus of the
placement service is the individual attention each senior receives from our
career counselor, thus insuring the student the opportunity to develop a
sound strategy for job hunting.
With greater insight into your academic and career goals, the Career
Development Center is committed to broaden the career opportunities open
to you after graduation.
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 th« college dining room.
Requests for exceptions to live with relatives or requests for non-resident
status by persons who are 23 years of age or older before the first day of the
term to which they have been admitted must be submitted in writing to the
Associate Dean of Student Services-Housing.
If you do not have permission to live 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 confirmation of
your acceptance. Upperclassmen receive the agreements and rules and
regulations each Spring.
STUDENT SERVICES/ 33
Because of the inability of the College to predict enrollment by sex, it is
necessary to keep assignments of halls as flexible as possible. Nohallorunit
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 fur-
nishings. 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 examination, except for graduating seniors.
Regulations regarding quiet hours for study may be established by the Of-
fice of Student Services or 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 which share responsibility for
regulations and are organized each fall before visitation privileges begin.
STANDARDS OF CONDUCT
The College expects all of its students to accept the responsibility required
of adults in a free democratic society. The rules and regulations of the
College are designed to protect the rights of every member of the communi-
ty 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 acceptthis respon-
sibility 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 dismiss-
ed 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 interest of the College. In addition to the regulations published
here, specific rules are furnished each student in the Guidepost and the
Residence Halls Handbook.
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 is published in the Guidepost.
Lycoming does not condone the illegal use of drugs by its students. A state-
ment of the policy on drugs is published in the Guidepost.
Cheating, lying, and stealing are totally inconsistent with Lycoming stan-
dards. Although the acceptance and observance of the standards of
behavior expected by the College are individual responsibilities, they are 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 acceptthese 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,

tunities, pastoral counseling, local church relationships, and other ac-
tivities. The ministry's purpose is to encourage all students to sustain their
own particular religious commitment through its varied activities.
Regular Protestant and Catholic worship services are held on Sundays in the
College Chapel, and several ecumenical worship opportunities are planned
for special seasons of the Church year, including Christmas, Easter,
Passover, etc. Students are also encouraged to attend worship services in
the church of their choice in the local community, if they prefer.

48/ FINANCIAL INFORMATION
FINANCIAL AID
In planning the financing of your college education, you should consider
both the expenses involved and the various methods of meeting them. 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 ex-
penses. You can do this by saving, working, and borrowing. We expectyou
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 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 financial aid. A scholarship may be awarded on the basis of finan-
cial 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 atten-
ding Lycoming College. You are eligible to be considered for financial aid up
to the part of the costs 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 "Financial Aid Form" from your
high school guidance counselor or the Financial Aid Office at Lycoming.
Submit the completed "Financial Aid Form" to the College Scholarship
Service, P.O. Box 1 76, Princeton, New Jersey 08540, at the earliest con-
venient date.

careers which have an international component. International obligations
are increasingly assumed by governmental agencies and a wide range of
business, social, religious, and educational organizations. Opportunities

banking, advertising, management, and tourism. The program also offers
flexible career preparation in a variety of essential skills such as research,
data analysis, report writing, language skills, and the awareness necessary
for dealing with people and institutions of another culture. Preparation for
related careers can be obtained through the guided selection of courses
outside the major in the areas of Business, Economics, Foreign Languages
and Literatures, Government, History, and International Relations; or
through a second major. Students should design their programs in con-
sultation with members of the committee on International Studies and other
departments.

LITERATURE
Associate Professor: Maples (Coordinator)
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 particularauthor, 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, English 14, 15, 16. 17, French 23,
German 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.

THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
The Alumni Association of Lycoming College has a membership of over
eight thousand men and women. It is governed by an Executive Board con-
sisting of four officers and twenty-one members-at-large, elected through
mail ballot by the membership of the Association. The board also has forty-
two members representing specific geographic areas of alumni concentra-
tion, the senior class president, the student body president, and a represen-
tative of the last graduating class. The Association annually nominates one
alumni representative for a three-year term on the College Board of
Trustees. The Director of Alumni Affairs directs the activities of the Alumni
Office.
The Alumni Association has the following purpose as stated in its constitu-
tion: 'As an off-campus constituency, the Association's purpose is to seek
ways of maintaining an active and mutually beneficial relationship between
the college and its alumni, utilizing their talents, resources and counsel to
further the objective and program of Lycoming College."
All former students of Williamsport Dickinson Seminary and all former
students, who have successfully completed one year of study at
Williamsport Dickinson Junior College or Lycoming College shall be
members of the Association. Any person who leaves Lycoming College after
successfully completing one year and re-enters as a student within four
years of his/her initial matriculation, shall not be a member of the Alumni
Association while enrolled as a student at Lycoming College.
Acting as the representative of alumni on the campus, and working also with
undergraduates, the Alumni office aids in keeping alumni informed and in-
terested 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 ac-
tivites are coordinated through this office. The Alumni Association
promotes group travel programs, supplies back-yearclass rings, sells water
colors of the campus and sells alumni chairs.
Through The Lycoming College Fund, the alumni office is closely associated
with the development program of the college. Lycoming College holds
membership in the Council for Advancement and Support of Education.
Communications to the Alumni Association should be addressed to the
Alumni Office.
