Welcome to Lycoming

Lycoming is an independent, coeduca-
tional college dedicated to providing the
type of learning that can be used for a
lifetime — the liberal arts and sciences.

Lycoming's academic relevance
derives from its enduring commitment to
the value of this type of education, as
offered by a superior teaching faculty.
The College's principal aim is to help
students develop a central core of inte-
grated values, skill, information, and
strategies while they learn to communi-
cate, reason, make decisions, under-
stand, and use their imagination. This
type of education can lead to productive
and fulfilling lives in many fields while
allowing lifelong growth and develop-
ment.

Lycoming awards bachelor of arts
degrees in 31 major fields, a bachelor of
fine arts degree in sculpture, and a
bachelor of science degree in nursing.
The curriculum is challenging. Because
it is built upon the two principles of the

liberal arts known as distribution and
concentration, it allows students to study
in breadth and depth.

Students who have special interests
not met entirely by a major field can
design their own majors. Or, if they are
interested in teaching, medicine, law,
dentistry, or the ministry, they can take
courses needed to enter their advanced
study.

Students also can study engineering,
forestry or environmental studies,
podiatric medicine, optometry, medical
technology, and sculpture through
cooperative programs operated by
Lycoming with other colleges and uni-
versities. Or. they can study abroad or in
Philadelphia. Pa.. Washington. D.C.or
New York City through other off-
campus study programs.

Most students complete their program
of study in four years, usually by taking
four courses each fall and spring semes-
ter. But students also can take one course

during Lycoming's May term, or two
courses during the summer term.

Recognizing students' concerns about
careers. Lycoming offers extensive
counseling through the Career Develop-
ment Center and advisory committees for
prelaw, prehealth professions, and pre-
medical students. The College also oper-
ates a wide-ranging internship program
that allows students to earn academic
credit while working at area businesses,
government offices, and nonprofit orga-
nizations.

Lycoming's ratio of students to faculty
is 15 to one. which means that most
classes are small and there is abundant
opportunity for individual attention. All
faculty members teach. More than 70
percent of Lycoming's faculty hold the
highest degrees in their fields from the
nation's outstanding colleges and univer-
sities. And, faculty members take their
advising seriously. They care about stu-
dents, and encourage and guide them so
they receive the education they want.

Eighteen buildings sit on Lycoming's
main campus. Most of them have been
built since 1950. The modern buildings
include the eight residence halls; the
library; the Academic Center, which
houses the Arena Theatre, planetarium,
computer center, and art gallery; the stu-
dent union; the physical education/
recreation center, including a six-lane,
25-yard pool; a completely renovated
fine arts center with excellent facilities to
accommodate sculpture, painting,
drawing, printmaking, ceramics and
photography; and a music building,
which houses individual music practice
rooms and an electronic-music studio.

Lycoming houses approximately 900
of its 1.250 students in the residence
halls, which include double and single
rooms. Most students find the campus
friendly and comfortable, with all of the
buildings easy to reach from anywhere
on campus. Students come from a variety
of economic classes, religious beliefs,
and geographic areas, although most stu-
dents call Pennsylvania. New Jersey, or
New York their home. They work and
play together in an atmosphere of respect
and tolerance.

The College offers a variety of extra-

curricular activities. Recent Artist
Series events have included the Broad-
way musical Big River, The Royal Win-
nipeg Ballet. The Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania Philharmonic. Late Great Ladies
of Jazz and Blues, internationally
acclaimed mime Marcel Marceau. and
satirist Mark Russell. Admission to all
Artist Series events is free for Lycoming
students. Student government groups
help to plan campus activities and social
events. Numerous clubs, honor societ-
ies, social fraternities and sororities, the
student newspaper, yearbook and liter-
ary magazine, and the band and widely
acclaimed choir meet other student
interests. Students who like to perform
or compete can act on the Arena Theatre
stage or play on intercollegiate or intra-
mural sports teams. Intercollegiate
teams for men include football, soccer,
basketball, wrestling, tennis, golf,
swimming, track and field, and cross
country. Intercollegiate teams for
women include basketball, tennis, field
hockey, swimming, track and field, and
cross country.

In addition, students who like hiking.

backpacking, skiing, camping, fishing,
hunting, kayaking, spelunking, and
other outdoor sports will find Lycom-
ing's location ideal.

Lycoming is situated on a slight
prominence near downtown Williams-
port, a small city nestled along the West
Branch of the Susquehanna River in
northcentral Pennsylvania's rolling hills
and valleys. Yet. the College is within a
four-hour drive of metropolitan centers
such as New York City, Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, Washington, DC Balti-
more. Syracuse, Rochester, and the New
Jersey shore points. The Williamsport-
metro area is home to about 75 ,000 per-
sons.

Lycoming enjoys a relationship with
The United Methodist Church. It sup-
ports the Methodist tradition of provid-
ing an education for persons of all faiths.

Fully accredited, Lycoming is a mem-
ber of the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Schools, and the University
Senate of The United Methodist Church.
It is a member of the Association of
American Colleges, the Pennsylvania
Association of Colleges and Universi-

ties, the Commission for Independent
Colleges and Universities, the National
Commission on Accrediting, and the
National Association of Schools and
Colleges of The United Methodist
Church.

HISTORY

Lycoming College was founded in 1812
as the Williamsport Academy, an
elementary and secondary school.
Thirty-six years later, the academy
became the Williamsport Dickinson
Seminary under the patronage of The
Methodist Episcopal Church. The semi-
nary operated as a private boarding
school until 1929. when a college curri-
culum was added and it became the Wil-
liamsport Dickinson Seminary and
Junior College. In 1947, the junior col-
lege became a four-year degree-granting
college of liberal arts and sciences. It
adopted the name Lycoming, derived
from the Indian word "lacomic."
meaning "Great Stream." The word
Lycoming has been common to north-
central Pennsylvania since colonial days.

Academic Program

THE BACHELOR OF
ARTS DEGREE

Lycoming is committed to the principle
that a liberal arts education is the best
hope for an enlightened citizenry. Con-
sequently, the bachelor of arts degree is
conferred upon the student who has
completed an educational program
incorporating the two principles of the
liberal arts known as distribution and
concentration. The objective of the dis-
tribution principle is to insure that the
student achieves breadth in learning
through the study of the major dimen-
sions of human inquiry: the humanities.
the social sciences, and the natural sci-
ences. The objective of the concentra-
tion principle is to provide depth of
learning through completion of a pro-
gram of study in a given discipline or
subject area known as the major.

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE
BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE

Every degree candidate is expected to
complete the following requirements in
order to qualify for graduation:

— complete the distribution
program.

— complete a major consisting of at
least eight courses while achieving
a minimum grade point average of
2.0 in those courses.

— earn one year of credit in physical
education. All students must dem-
onstrate competence in swim-
ming. (Medical exemptions may

tee on Academic Standing.

THE BACHELOR OF
FINE ARTS DEGREE

The bachelor of fine arts degree is speci-
fically designed to train professional
artists. The BFA in sculpture is a syn-
thesis of three diverse forms of educa-
tion: a studio art program that emphas-
izes the skills and concepts of the visual
language; an apprenticeship that takes
technical expertise as the departure
point, and the scholastic method
employed in both art history and the
general-education component.

WRITING ACROSS

THE CURRICULUM PROGRAM

L Purpose

The Lycoming College Writing
Across the Curriculum Program has
been developed in response to the con-
viction that writing skill promotes intel-
lectual growth and is a hallmark of the
educated person. The program has
therefore been designed to achieve two
major, interrelated objectives:

(1) to enhance student learning in
general and subject mastery in parti-
cular, and

(2) to develop students" abilities to
communicate clearly. In this pro-
gram students are given opportuni-
ties to write in a variety of contexts
and in a substantial number of
courses, in which they receive
faculty guidance and reinforcement.

IL Program Requirements

In order to graduate from Lycoming
all students must complete the following
writing requirements;

A. English 005, Developmental
English, or exemption from the
course.

B. English 106. Composition and
one other English course.

C. A writing component in all dis-
tribution courses completed at
Lycoming.

D. Two courses designated as
writing-intensive, or "W"
courses.

(1) Successful completion of
English 106 is a prerequisite
for enrollment in writing-
intensive courses.

(2) All courses designated "W"
are numbered 200 or above.

(3) Each student must complete
one "W course from
among those offered by the
major department, or. with
departmental approval, from
a related department. The
other "W course com-
pleted must be from a depart-
ment other than the major
department. In the case of
students with multiple
majors, one "W" course
must be completed from one
of those majors. The second
course may be taken m one
of the student's other majors.

(4) Students should take one
"W" course during the
sophomore year and one
during the junior year —
though other sequences are
possible and may in certain
circumstances be advisable.

(5) A writing intensive course
may not duplicate a course
taken to satisfy II. B.

THE DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM

A course can be used to satisfy only one
distribution requirement. Courses for
which a grade of "S"" is recorded may
not be used toward the fulfillment of the
distribution requirements. (Refer to
page 10 for an explanation of the grad-
ing system.) A course in any of the fol-
lowing distribution requirements refers
to a full-unit (four semester hours)
course taken at Lycoming, any appro-
priate combination of fractional unit
courses taken at Lycoming which accu-
mulate to four semester hours, or any
single course of three or more semester
hours transferred from another institu-
tion. For the BSN degree, see special
modified distribution requirements on
page 7.

English — Students are required to
demonstrate competence in basic writ-
ing skills and to pass English 106 and
one other unit of English. Competence
in basic writing skills may be demon-
strated either by passing the Achieve-
ment Examination in English Composi-

tion or by earning a Satisfactory in
English 005. A student must demon-
strate this competence before being per-
mitted to enroll in English 106. Unless
impossible because of failure to com-
plete English 005, English 106 must be

THE MAJOR

Students are required to complete a
series of courses in one departmental or
interdisciplinary (established or individ-
ual) major. Specific course require-
ments for each major offered by the
College are listed in the curriculum sec-
tion of this catalog. Students must earn a
2.0 or higher grade-point average in
those courses stipulated as comprising
the major. (This requirement is not met
by averaging the grades for all courses
completed in the major department.)

Students must declare a major by the
beginning of their junior year. Depart-
mental and established interdisciplinary
majors are declared in the Office of the
Registrar, whereas individual interdis-
ciplinary majors must be approved by
the Committee on Curriculum Develop-
ment. Students may complete more than
one major, each of which will be
recorded on the transcript. Students may
be removed from major status if they are
not making satisfactory progress in the
major. This action is taken by the Dean
of the College upon the recommenda-
tion of the department, coordinating
committee (for established interdiscip-
linary majors), or Curriculum Develop-
ment Committee (for individual inter-
disciplinary majors). The decision of the
Dean of the College may be appealed to
the Academic Standing Committee by
the student involved or the recommend-
ing department or committee.

Individual Interdisciplinary Majors

— Students may design a major that is
unique to their needs and objectives and
which combines course work in more
than one department. This major is
developed in consultation with the stu-
dent's faculty advisor and with a panel
of faculty members from each of the
sponsoring departments. The applica-
tion is acted upon by the Curriculum
Development Committee. The major
normally consists of 10 courses beyond
those taken to satisfy the distribution
requirements. Students are expected to
complete at least six courses at the
junior or senior level. Examples of indi-
vidual interdisciplinary majors are
Racial and Cultural Minorities, Illustra-
tion in the Print Medium. Environmen-
tal Law, Advertising, Art/History. Art/
Business, Human Behavior, and Images
of Man.

Major in Sculpture Leading to
Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree —

Johnson Atelier Technical Institute of
Sculpture, Mercerville, New Jersey,
students may earn a BFA degree in
sculpture. The major consists of a core
academic program, a course of study in
art, elective courses, and an apprentice-
ship at the Johnson Atelier.

THE MINOR

The College awards two kinds of
minors, departmental and interdisciplin-
ary, in recognition of concentrated
course work in an area other than the
student's major. All minors are subject
to the following limitations:

— a minor must include at least
two courses which are not counted

in the student's major.

— a student may receive at most two
minors.

— students with two majors may
receive only one minor; students
with three majors may not receive
a minor.

— students may not receive a minor
in their major discipline unless
their major discipline is Art and
the minor is Art History. (A dis-
cipline is any course of study in
which a student can major. Tracks
within majors are not separate dis-
ciplines.)

— a student may not receive a minor
unless his average in the courses
which count for his minor is a
minimum of 2.00.

— courses taken S/U may not be
counted toward a minor.

Students must declare their intention to
minor by signing a form available in the
Registrar's Office, getting required
faculty signatures, and returning the
completed form to the Records Room.
When students complete a minor, the
title will be indicated on their official
transcript. Students must meet the
requirements for the minor which are in
effect at the time they declare a minor or
which are in effect subsequent to that
time and before they graduate.

Departmental Minors — Require-
ments for a departmental minor vary

ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT

One advantage of a small college is the
direct, personal contact between a stu-
dent and his or her college instructors
who care about that student's personal,
academic, and professional aspirations.
The student can draw upon their years of
experience to resolve questions about so-

cial adjustment, workload, study skills,
tutoring, and more. Perhaps the member
of the faculty with the most impact on a
student is the academic advisor.

The freshman advisor, whom the stu-
dent meets at summer orientation, assists
with course selection by providing accu-
rate information about requirements and
programs and with personal adjustment
by helping the student recognize his or
her own goals. In addition, the advisor
will refer students to other campus re-
sources whenever the need is apparent.

During the student's sophomore year,
he or she will choose a major and select
an advisor from the major department.
The new advisor, while serving as a re-
source for the student, can best advise
that student about course selection and
career opportunities.

Advisors at Lycoming endeavor to
contribute to our students' development
in yet another way. We insist that stu-
dents assume full responsibility for their
decisions and academic progress. By
doing so. we help to prepare them for the
harder choices and responsibilities of the
professional world.

Also. Lycoming provides special
advising programs for careers in medi-
cine, law. and religion. Interested stu-
dents should register with the appropriate
advisory committee immediately after
deciding to enter one of these profes-
sions.

Preparation for Educational Profes-
sions — Lycoming College believes that
the liberal arts provide the best prepara-
tion for future teachers, thus all educa-
tion students complete a liberal arts ma-
jor in addition to the Lycoming College
Teacher Education Certificate require-
ments. Students can be certified in
elementary education or one or more of
the following secondary areas: art (K-
12). biology, chemistry. English.
French, general science (with biology or
astronomy/physicsl tracks), German,
mathematics, music (K-12). physics, so-
cial studies, and Spanish. All teacher-
education programs are approved by the
Pennsylvania Department of Education.
Pennsylvania certificates are recognized
in most other states either through recip-

rocal agreements or by transcript evalua-
tion.

Preparation for Health Professions

— The program of pre-professional
education for the health professions
(allopathic, dental, osteopathic, podiat-
ric and veterinary medicine, optometry,
and pharmacy) is organized around a
sound foundation in biology, chemistry,
mathematics, and physics and a wide
range of subject matter from the humani-
ties, social sciences, and fine arts. At
least three years of undergraduate study
is recommended before entry into a pro-
fessional school; the normal procedure is
to complete the bachelor of arts degree.

Students interested in one of the health
professions or in an allied health career
should make their intentions known to
the admissions office when applying and
to the Health Professions Advisory Com-
mittee (HPAC) during their first semes-
ter. The committee advises students con-
cerning preparation for and application
to health-professions schools. All pre-
health professions students are invited to
join the student Pre-Health Professions
Association. (See also descriptions of the
nursing program and of the cooperative
programs in podiatric medicine,
optometry, and medical technology.)

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 particular major
or area of study; rather, a student is en-
couraged to design a course of study ( tra-
ditional or interdisciplinary major)
which is of personal interest and signifi-
cance. While no specific major is recom-
mended, there are certain skills of par-
ticular relevance to the pre-law student;
clear writing, analytical thinking, and
language comprehension. These skills
should be developed during the under-
graduate years.

Pre-law students should register with
the Legal Professions Advisory Commit-
tee (LPAC) upon entering Lycoming and
should join the Pre-Law Society on cam-
pus. LPAC assists the pre-law student
through advisement, compilation of re-

commendations, and dissemination of
information and materials about law and
the legal profession. The Pre-Law Socie-
ty has sponsored films, speakers, and
field trips, including visits to law school
campuses.

Preparation for Theological Profes-
sions — The Theological Professions
Advisory Committee (TPAC) acts as a
"center" for students, faculty, and clergy
to discuss the needs of students who want
to prepare themselves for the ministry,
religious education, advanced training in
religion, or related vocations. Also, it
may help coordinate internships for stu-
dents who desire practical experience in
the parish ministry or related areas. Upon
entering Lycoming, students should reg-
ister with TPAC if they plan to investi-
gate the religious vocations.

In general, students preparing to
attend a theological seminary should ex-
amine the suggestions set down by the
Association of Theological Schools
(available from TPAC). Recommended
is a broad program in the liberal arts, a
major in one of the humanities (English,
history, languages, literature, philoso-
phy, religion) or one of the social scien-
ces (American studies, criminal justice,
economics, international studies, politic-
al science, psychology, sociology-
anthropology), and a variety of electives.
Students preparing for a career in reli-
gious education should major in religion
and elect five or six courses in psycholo-
gy, education, and sociology. This prog-
ram of study will qualify students to
work as an educational assistant or a
director of religious education after
graduate study in a theological seminary.

REGISTRATION

During the registration period, students
select their courses for the next semester
and register their course selections in the
Office of the Registrar. Course selection
is made in consultation with the student's
faculty advisor in order to insure that the
course schedule is consistent with Col-
lege requirements and student goals. Af-
ter the registration period, any change in
the student's course schedule must be

approved by both the faculty advisor and
Office of the Registrar. Students may not
receive credit for courses in which they
are not formally registered.

During the first five days of classes,
students may drop any course without
any record of such enrollment appearing
on the permanent record, and they may
add any course that is not closed. Stu-
dents wishing to drop a course between
the fifth day and the 1 2th week of classes
must secure a withdrawal form from the
Office of the Registrar, which is pre-
sented to the instructor of the course in
question, who assigns a withdrawal
grade based on the level of the student's
performance from the beginning of the
course to the date of withdrawal. With-
drawal grades are not computed in the
grade point average. Students may not
withdraw from courses after the 12th
week of a semester and the comparable
period during the May and summer
terms.

In two-credit ( '/: unit) courses meeting
only during the last half of any semester,
students may drop/add for a period of
five days, effective with the mid-term
date shown on the academic calendar.
Withdrawal from half-semester courses
with a withdrawal grade may occur with-
in six weeks of the beginning of the
course. It is understood that the period of
time at the beginning of the semester and
at the mid-point of the semester will be
identical, for example, a period of five
days as indicated above.

THE UNIT COURSE SYSTEM

Instruction at Lycoming College is orga-
nized, with few exceptions, on a depart-
mental basis, most courses are unit
courses, meaning that each course taken
is considered to be equivalent to four
semester hours of credit. Exceptions
occur in applied music and theatre practi-
cum courses, which are offered for either
one-half or one semester hour of credit,
and in departments that have elected to
offer certain courses for the equivalent of
two semester hours of credit. Further,
independent studies and internships car-
rying two semester hours of credit may
be designed. The normal student course

load is four courses during the fall and
spring semesters. Students who elect to
attend the special sessions may enroll in
one course during the May term and one
or two courses in the summer tenn. A
student is considered full time when en-
rolled for a minimum of three courses
during the fall or spring semesters, one
course for the May term . and two courses
for the summer term. Students may en-
roll in five courses during the fall and
during semesters if they are Lycoming
scholars or were admitted to the Dean's
List at the end of the previous semester.
Exceptions may be granted by the Dean
of the Colelge. Overloads are not permit-
ted during the May and summer terms

THE SYSTEM OF GRADING
AND REPORTING OF GRADES

The evaluation of student performance
in credit courses is indicated by the use
of traditional letter symbols. These sym-
bols and their definitions are as follows:
A Excellent — Signifies superior
achievement through mastery of content
or skills and demonstration of creative
and independent thinking.
B High Pass — Signifies better-than-
average achievement wherein the stu-
dent reveals insight and understanding.
C Pass — Signifies satisfactory
achievement wherein the student's work
has been of average quality and quanti-
ty. The student has demonstrated basic
competence in the subject area and may
enroll in additional course work.
D Low Pass — Signifies unsatisfactory
achievement wherein the student met
only the minimum requirements for
passing the course and should not con-
tinue in the subject area without depart-
mental advice.

F Failing — Signifies that the student
has not met the minimum requirements
for passing the course.
1 Incomplete Work — Assigned in
accordance with the restrictions of
established academic policy.
R A Repeated Course — Students shall
have the option of repeating courses for
which they already have received a
passing grade in addition to those which
they have failed. Credit is received only

once for the course. Grades will be aver-
aged.

S Passing Work, no grade assigned —
Converted from traditional grade of A,
B. C. or D.

U Falling work, no grade assigned —
converted from traditional grade of F.
X Audit — Work as an auditor for
which no credit is earned.
W Withdrawal — Signifies withdrawal
from the course early in the term when it
cannot be determined that the student is
passing or failing.

The cumulative grade point average
(GPA) is calculated by multiplying
quality points by credits and dividing
the total quality points by the total cred-
its. A quality point is the unit of mea-
surement of the quality of work done by
the student.

The grade point average for the major
is calculated in the same manner for the
courses required for the major.

A minimum of 2.00 is required for
the cumulative grade point average and
for the grade point average in the major
to meet the requirements for graduation.
You cannot compute your cumulative
GPA by averaging your semester
GPA's.

Use of the satisfactory/unsatisfactory
grading option is limited as follows (this
does not apply to Education 005 and
English 005):

— students may enroll on an
S/U basis in no more than one

course per semester and no more
than four courses during the
undergraduate career.

■ S/U courses completed after
declaration of the major may not
be used to satisfy a requirement of
that major, including courses
required by the major department
which are offered by other depart-
ments. (Instructor-designated
courses are excepted from this
limitation.)

- courses for which a grade of S is
recorded may not be used toward
fulfillment of any distribution
requirement.

- students may not enroll in English
6 on an S/U basis.

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

• instructor-designated courses may
be offered during the May term
with the approval of the Dean of
the College. Such courses are not
counted toward the four-course
limit.

- S/U grades are not computed in
the grade point average.

- students electing the S/U option
may designate a minimum accep-
tance letter grade of A or B. If the
letter grade actually earned by the
student equals or exceeds this
minimum, that letter grade is
entered on the student's permanent
record and is computed in the
grade point average. In such a
case, the course does not count
toward the four-course limit. If the
student does not indicate a mini-
mum acceptable letter grade or if
the letter grade actually earned is
lower than the minimum desig-
nated by the student, the Registrar
substitutes an S for any passing
grade (A. A-. B -I- . B. B-.
C -(- , C - , D -h . D. or D - ) and a
U for an F grade.

- students receiving either an S or U
grade may not be eligible for the
Dean's List for that semester.

- students must declare the S/U
option before the end of the period

during which courses may be
added during any given semester,
half-semester, or term.

— instructors are not notified which
of their students are enrolled on an
S/U basis.

— students electing the S/U option
are expected to perform the same
work as those enrolled on a regular
basis.

Incomplete grades may be given
if. for absolutely unavoidable rea-
sons (usually medical in nature).
the student has not been able to
complete the work requisite to the
course. An incomplete grade must
be removed within six weeks of
the next regular semester.

Students shall have the option
of repeating courses for which
they already have received a pass-
ing grade in addition to those
which they have failed. Recording
of grades for all repeated courses
shall be governed by the following
conditions:

— a course may be repeated
only one time.

— both attempts will be recorded on
the student's transcript.

— credit for the course will be given
only once.

— for the purpose of determining the
student's GPA. the average grade
received for the two attempts will
be used as if it were the grade for a
single course.

— a repeated course will be counted
toward the total number of unsuc-
cessful attempts.

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 preroga-
tive of establishing reasonable absence
regulations in any course. The student is
responsible for learning and observing
these regulations.

STUDENT RECORDS

The policy regarding student educational
records is designed to protect the privacy
of students against unwarranted intru-
sions and is consistent with Section 438
of the General Education Provision Act
(commonly known as the Family Educa-
tional Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. as
amended). The details of the College
policy on student records and the proce-
dures for gaining access to student re-
cords are contained in the current issue of
The Pathfinder, which is available in the
library and the Office of the Dean of the
College.

ACADEMIC STANDING AND
ACADEMIC HONESTY

Students will be placed on academic
probation if either the number of hours
completed or cumulative grade point
average falls below the following stan-
dards:

Semester Hours Cumulative

(Full-time) Completed GPA

1 12 1.66

2 24 1.85

3 40 1.90

4 56 2.00

5 72 2.00

6 88 2.00

7 104 2.00

8 120 2.00

In order to meet graduation require-
ments, students must complete 128 cre-
dit hours. Students who are enrolled part
time or for fewer than the normal four
courses per term will be expected to com-
plete an equivalent proportion of their
program each semester.

Students will be subject to suspension
from the College if they:

— are on probation for two consecu-
tive semesters;

— achieve a grade point average of
1 .00 or below during any one semester.
Students will be subject to dismissal
from the College if they:

— can not reasonably complete all re-
quirements for a degree;

— exceed 24 semester hours of unsuc-
cessful course attempts (grades of F. U.
W, and R) except in the case of with-
drawal for medical or psychological
reasons.

The integrity of the academic process of
the College requires honesty in all phases
of the instructional program. The Col-
lege assumes that students are committed
to the principle of academic honesty.
Students who fail to honor this commit-
ment are subject to dismissal . Procedural
guidelines and rules for the adjudication
of cases of academic dishonesty are
printed in The Faculty Handbook and
The Paihfiner (the student academic
handbook), copies of which are available
in the library.

TRANSFER CREDIT

A Lycoming College student who wishes
to satisfy any degree, distribution, major
or minor requirement with course work
completed at another institution must se-
cure permission to study off-campus
from the department chairperson (of each
department in which credit will be
awarded) and approval from the Reg-
istrar. If a course is approved for transfer
prior to the first meeting thereof, Lycom-
ing College guarantees the transfer of
that course and grade.

CREDIT BY EXAMINATION

Advanced Placement — Entering fresh-
men who have completed an advanced
course while in secondary school and
who have taken the appropriate adv-
anced-placement examination of the
College Entrance Examination Board
(CEEB) are encouraged to apply for cre-
dit and advanced placement at the time of
admission. A grade of three or above is
considered satisfactory. Students should
inform the Registrar's Office and their
academic advisor immediately when
advanced placement examinations have
been taken.

College Level Examination Prog-
ram (CLEP) — Students may earn col-

lege credit for superior achievement
through CLEP. By achieving at the 75th
percentile or above on the General Ex-
aminations and the 65th percentile or
above on approved Subject Examina-
tions, students may earn up to 50 percent
of the course requirements for a bachelor
of arts degree. Although these examina-
tions may be taken after enrollment, new
students who are competent in a given
area are encouraged to take the examina-
tion of their choice during the second
semester of their senior year so that
Lycoming will have the test scores avail-
able for registration advisement for the
first semester of enrollment. Further in-
formation about CLEP may be obtained
through the secondary-school guidance
office or the Office of Admissions or the
Registrar at Lycoming College. Students
should inform the Registrar's Office and
their academic advisor immediately
when CLEP examinations have been
taken.

ACADEMIC HONORS

Departmental Honors — Honors pro-
jects are normally undertaken only in a
student's major, and are available only to
exceptionally well-qualified students
who have a solid background in the area
of the project and are capable of con-
siderable self-direction. The prere-
quisites for registration in an honors
program are as follows:

— a faculty member from the depart-

ment(s) in which the honors project is to
be undertaken must agree to be the direc-
tor and must secure departmental
approval of the project.

— the director, in consultation with
the student, must convene a committee
consisting of two faculty members from
the department in which the project is to
be undertaken, one of whom is the direc-
tor of the project, and one faculty mem-
ber from each of two other departments
related to the subject matter of the study.

— the honors committee must then
certify by their signatures on the applica-
tion that the project in question is
academically legitimate and worthy of
pursuit as an honors project, and that the
student in question is qualified to pursue
the project.

— the project must be approved by the
Committee on Individual Studies.

Students successfully complete hon-
ors projects by satisfying the following
conditions in accordance with guide-
lines established by the Committee on
Individual Studies:

— the student must produce a sub-
stantial research paper, critical study, or
creative project. If the end product is a
creative project, a critical paper analyz-
ing the techniques and principles em-
ployed and the nature of the achievement
represented in the project shall be sub-
mitted.

— the student must successfully ex-
plain and defend the work in a final oral
examination given by the honors com-
mittee.

— the honors committee must certify
that the student has successfully de-
fended the project, and that the student's
achievement is clearly superior to that
which would ordinarily be required to
earn a grade of "A" in a regular indepen-
dent-studies course.

— the Committee on Individual Stu-
dies must certify that the student has
satisfied all of the conditions mentioned
above.

Except in unusual circumstances, honors
projects are expected to involve indepen-
dent study in two consecutive unit

courses. Successful completion of the
honors project will cause the designation
of honors in that department to be placed
upon the permanent record. Acceptable
theses are deposited in the College lib-
rary. In the event that the study is not
completed successfully or is not deemed
worthy of honors, the student shall be
re-registered in independent studies and
given a final grade for the course.

Auditors — Any person may audit
courses at Lycoming at one-fourth tui-
tion per course. Laboratory and other
special fees must be paid in full. Ex-
aminations, papers, and other evaluation
devices are not required of auditors, but
individual arrangements may be made to
complete such exercises with the consent
of the instructor. The option to audit a
course must be declared during the same
period (currently five days) at the begin-
ning of each semester, half-semester, or
term as drop/add and pass/fail and must
be completed in the Registrar's Office.

SPECIAL FEATURES

Academic Resource Center — The

Academic Resource Center, located on
the first floor of Rich Hall, provides a
variety of services for the campus com-
munity. Our services are free to all
Lycoming students.

The ARC maintains academic and so-
cial support programs for those with spe-
cial learning needs. Students meet reg-
ularly with a specialist in learning disabi-
lities who works individually with stu-
dents to help them manage their learning
processes while fostering independent
behavior and providing personal advoca-
cy. Particular strategies include books on
tape, alternative testing procedures, lec-
ture taping, notetakers, and individual-
ized instruction in study and time man-
agement skills.

Other services available through the
ARC include study and grammar skills
workshops. Workshop topics include
time management, stress management,
note-taking from lectures and textbooks,
word processing for beginners, proof-
reading techniques, fragments, and com-
ma use. In addition, the ARC offers the

Paper File — a file of graded essays
maintained by course, a Documentation
Style Manual — a useful reference
source for writing parenthetical and bib-
liographic entries. The Writing Room, a
quiet place for writers to work, and self-
paced computer assisted instructional
programs in typing and speed reading
and comprehension.

Developmental Program — The de-
velopmental program is provided for stu-
dents who are identified as being able to
benefit from specialized classroom in-
struction in college-level reading and
writing skills. Students develop these
basic skills in the context of the regular
academic curriculum. Both reading and
writing skills are taught as part of an
integrated curriculum consisting of a
one-half unit course in developmental
writing (ENGLISH 005) and a one-half
unit course in developmental reading and
study skills (EDUCATION 005). These
courses are coordinated with one of the
following areas: economics, history,
political science, psychology, or sociol-
ogy. Math skills are taught in a one-half
unit algebra course (mathematics 005)
which is conducted on an individualized
basis with tutorial support.

Independent Studies — Independent
studies are available to any qualified stu-
dent who wishes to engage in and receive
academic credit for any academically
legitimate course of study for which he or
she could not otherwise receive credit. It
may be pursued at any level (introduc-
tory, intermediate, or advanced) and in
any department, whether or not the stu-
dent is a major in that department. Stu-
dies projects which duplicate catalog
courses are sometimes possible, and are
subject to the same provisions which
apply to all studies projects. In order for a
student to be registered in an indepen-
dent-study course, the following condi-
tions must be satisfied:

— an appropriate member of the
faculty must agree to supervise the pro-
ject and must certify by signing the ap-
plication form that the project is
academically legitimate and involves an
amount of work appropriate for the

amount of academic credit requested,
and that the student in question is qual-
ified to pursue the project.

— the studies project must be
approved by the chairman of the depart-
ment in which the studies project is to be
undertaken.

— after the project is approved by the
instructor and by the chairman of the
appropriate department, the studies pro-
ject must be approved by the Committee
on Individual Studies.

In addition, participation in indepen-
dent-studies projects, with the exception
of those which duplicate catalog courses,
is subject to the following;

— students may not engage in more
than one independent-studies project
during any given semester.

— students may not engage in more
than two independent-studies projects
during their academic careers at Lycom-
ing College.

As with other academic policies, any
exceptions to these two rules must be
approved by the Academic Standing
Committee.

Internship Program — An in-
ternship is a course jointly sponsored by
the College and a public or private agen-
cy or subdivision of the Collge in which a
student is enabled to earn college credit
by participating in some active capacity
as an assistant, aide, or apprentice. At
least one-half of the effort expended by
the intern should consist of academic
work related to agency situations. The
objectives of the internship program are

( 1 ) to further the development of a cen-
tral core of values, awarenesses,
strategies, skills, and information
through experiences outside the clas-
sroom or other campus situations, and

(2) to facilitate the integration of theory
and practice by encouraging students to
relate their on-campus academic experi-
ences 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. A max-
imum of 1 6 credits can be earned through
the internship program. Guidelines for
program development, assignment of
tasks and academic requirements, such
as exams, papers, reports, grades, etc.,
are established in consultation with a
faculty director at Lycoming and an
agency supervisor at the place of in-
ternship.

Students with diverse majors have par-
ticipated in a wide variety of internships,
including those with the AUenwood
Federal Prison Camp, Lycoming County
Commissioners Office, Department of
Environmental Resources, Head Start,
Lycoming County Historical Society,
business and accounting firms, law
offices, hospitals, social service agen-
cies, banks, and Congressional offices.

May Term — The May term is a four-
week voluntary .session designed to pro-
vide students with courses listed in the
catalog and experimental and special
courses that are not normally available
during the fall and spring semesters and
summer term. Some courses are offered
on campus; others involve travel. A
number offer interdisciplinary credit.
Illustrations of the types of courses
offered during the May term are:

(a) Study-Travel: Cultural tours of
Germany, Spain, and France; Archaelo-
gical expeditions to the Middle East;
Anthropological expeditions to study tri-
cultural communities in New Mexico;
Utopian Communities; Revolutionary
and Civil War Sites; Colonial America
on Tour; Art on the East Coast; The New
Kingdom in Ancient Egypt.

(b) On-Campus: Field Geology, Field
Ornithology, Energy Economics, Wri-
ter's Seminar, Psychology of Group Pro-
cesses, Collective Bargaining, Aquatic
Biology, Medical Genetics, Energy
Alternatives, White Collar Crime, Las-
ers and their Applications, Selected
Short Story Writers and their Works,
Popular Forms of Contemporary Fiction,
Administrative and Organizational Be-
havior of Police, Plant and Greenhouse
Management, and Street Law.

Although participation in the May

term is voluntary, student response has
been outstanding with approximately 20
percent of the student body enrolling. In
addition to the courses themselves,
attractions include small and informal
classes and reduced tuition rates.

Part Time Students — Students who
do not wish to pursue a degree at Lycom-
ing College may. if space permits, regis-
ter for credit or audit courses on either a
part-time or full-time basis. Students
who register for one or two courses are
considered to be enrolled part time; stu-
dents who register for three or four
courses are considered to be enrolled full
time.

Anyone wishing to register as a non-
degree student must fill out an applica-
tion form in the Admissions Office, pay a
one-time application fee of $20, and pay
the tuition rate in effect at the time of
each enrollment. After a non-degree stu-
dent has attempted four courses, the
Dean of the College reserves the right to
grant or deny permission to continue to
register in this category.

All non-degree students are subject to
the general laws and regulations of the
College as stated in the College Catalog
and the Student Handbook. The College
reserves the right to deny permission to
register to individuals who do not meet
the standards of the College.

Students who wish to change from a
non-degree to a degree status must reapp-
ly (with no application fee) and satisfy all
conditions for admission and registration
in effect at the time of application for
degree status.

Study Abroad — Students have the
opportunity to study abroad under au-
spices of approved universities and agen-
cies. While study abroad is particularly
attractive to students majoring in foreign
languages and literatures, this opportun-
ity is open to all students in good
academic standing. Mastery of a foreign
language is desirable but not required in
all programs. Dr. Richard Barker, assis-
tant professor of foreign languages and
literatures, serves as coordinator for the
Study Abroad Program. Interested stu-
dents may contact him about opportuni-

ties available and procedural questions.

Teacher Intern Program — The pur-
pKJse of the teacher intern program is to
provide individuals who have completed
a baccalaureate degree with the oppor-
tunity to become certified teachers
through on-the-job training. Interns can
earn a Lycoming College Teacher
Education Certificate and be certified by
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in
elementary education or one or more of
the following secondary areas; art, biolo-
gy, chemistry, English, French, general
science (with biology or astronomy/phy-
sics tracks), German, mathematics,
music, physics, social studies, and
Spanish.

Interested individuals should file a for-
mal application with the Education De-
partment for admission to the Intern
Program. Upon completion of the ap-
plication process, interns receive a letter
of Intern Candidacy from the Pennsylva-
nia Department of Education which the
candidate then uses to apply for a
teaching position. Necessary profession-
al coursework can be completed prior to
the teaching experience or coordinated
with the teaching experience when indi-
viduals obtain teaching positions.

NOTE: Lycoming College cannot assume re-
sponsibility for the health, safety, or welfare of
any student engaged in or en route to or from
any off-campus study or activity not under the
exclusive jurisdiction of this institution.

COOPERATIVE PROGRAMS

Lycoming has developed several
cooperative programs to provide stu-
dents with opportunities to extend their
knowledge, abilities, and talents in
selected areas through access to the spe-
cialized academic programs and facili-
ties of other colleges, universities,
academies, and hospitals. Although
thorough advisement and curricular
planning are provided for each of the
cooperative programs, admission to
Lycoming and registration in the prog-
ram of choice do not guarantee admis-
sion to the cooperating institution. The
prerogative of admitting students to the
cooperative aspect of the program rests

with the cooperating institution. Stu-
dents who are interested in a cooperative
program should contact the coordinator
during the first week of the first semester
of their enrollment at Lycoming. This is
necessary to plan their course programs
in a manner that will insure completion
of required courses according to the
schedule stipulated for the program. All
cooperative programs require special
coordination of course scheduling at
Lycoming.

Engineering — Combining the
advantages of a liberal-arts education
and the technical training of an engineer-
ing curriculum, this program is offered in
conjunction with The Pennsylvania State
University. Students complete three
years of study at Lycoming and two years
at the cooperating university. Upon satis-
factory completion of the first year of
engineering studies, Lycoming awards
the bachelor of arts degree. When stu-
dents successfully complete the second
year of engineering studies, the cooper-
ating university awards the bachelor of
science degree in engineering.

At Lycoming, students complete the
distribution program and courses in phy-
sics, mathematics, and chemistry. The
Pennsylvania State University offers
aerospace, agricultural, chemical, civil,
electrical, engineering science, environ-
mental, industrial, mechanical, and nuc-
lear engineering.

Forestry or Environmental Studies

— Lycoming College offers a coopera-
tive program with Duke University in
environmental management and fore-
stry. Qualified students can earn the
bachelor's and master's degrees in five
years, spending three years at Lycoming
and two years at Duke. All Lycoming
distribution and major requirements
must be completed by the end of the
junior year. At the end of the first year at
Duke, the A.B. degree will be awarded
by Lycoming. Duke will award the pro-
fessional degree of Master of Forestry or
Master of Environmental Management
to qualified candidates at the end of the
second year.
The major program emphases at Duke

are Forest Resource Management, Re-
source Economics and Policy, and Re-
source Ecology. The program is flexible
enough, however, to accommodate a
variety of individual designs. An under-
graduate major in one of the natural sci-
ences, social sciences, or business may
provide good preparation for the prog-
rams at Duke, but a student with any
undergraduate concentration will be con-
sidered for admission. All students need
at least two courses each in biology,
mathematics, and economics.

Students begin the program at Duke in
July after their junior year at Lycoming
with a one-month session of field work in
natural resource measurements. They
must complete a total of 48 units which
generally take four semesters.

Some students prefer to complete the
bachelor's degree before undertaking
graduate study at Duke. The master's
degree requirements for these students
are the same as for those students enter-
ing after the junior year, but the 48-unit
requirement may be reduced for com-
pleted relevant undergraduate work of
satisfactory quality. All credit reductions
are determined individually and consider
the student's educational background
and objectives.

Medical Technology — Students de-
siring a career in medical technology
may either complete a bachelor of arts
program followed by a clinical internship
at any American Medical Association-
accredited hospital, or they may com-
plete the cooperative program. Students
electing the cooperative program nor-
mally study for three years at Lycoming,
during which time they complete 24 unit
courses, including the College distribu-
tion requirements, a major, and require-
ments of the National Accrediting Agen-
cy for Clinical Laboratory Sciences
(NAACLS). The current requirements of
the NAACLS are: four courses in che-
mistry (one of which must be either orga-
nic or bio-chemistry); four courses in
biology (including courses in microbiol-
ogy and immunology), and one course in
mathemtics.

Students in the cooperative program
usually major in biology, following a

modified major of six unit courses that
exempts them from Ecology (Biology
224) and Plant Sciences (Biology 225).
Students must take either Microbiology
(Biology 221) or Microbiology for the
Health Sciences (Biology 226). and
either Animal Physiology (Biology 223)
or Cell Physiology (Biology 335). The
cooperative program requires successful
completion of a one-year internship at an
American Medical Association-
accredited hospital. Lycoming is affili-
ated with the following accredited hos-
pitals: Divine Providence, Rolling Hill.
Robert Packer, Lancaster, and Abing-
ton. Students in the cooperative program
receive credit at Lycoming for each of
eight unit courses in biology and chemis-
try successfullly completed during the
clinical internship. Successful comple-
tion of the Registry Examination is not
considered a graduation requirement at
Lycoming College.

Students entering a clinical internship
for one year after graduation from
Lycoming must complete all of the re-
quirements of the cooperative program,
but are not eligible for the biology major
exemptions indicated above. Upon gra-
duation, such students may apply for
admission to a clinical program at any
hospital.

Optometry — Through the Acceler-
ated Optometry Education Curriculum
Program, students interested in a career
in optometry may qualify for admission
to the Pennsylvania College of
Optometry after only three years at
Lycoming College. After four years at
the Pennsylvania College of Optometry a
student will earn a Doctor of Optometry
degree. Selection of candidates for the
professional segment of the program is
completed by the admissions committee
of the Pennsylvania College of
Optometry during the student's third
year at Lycoming. (This is one of two
routes that students may choose. Any
student, of course, may follow the regu-
lar application procedures for admission
to the Pennsylvania College of
Optometry or another college of
optometry to matriculate following com-
pletion of his or her baccalaureate prog-

ram.) During the three years at Lycom-
ing College, the student 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 the
first year of study at the Pennsylvania
College of Optometry, the student will
take 39 semester hours of basic science
courses in addition to introductions to
optometry and health care. Successful
completion of the first year of profes-
sional training will complete the course
requirements for the A.B. degree at
Lycoming College.

Most students will find it convenient
to major in biology in order to satisfy the
requirements of Lycoming College and
the Pennsylvania College of Optometry.
Such students are allowed to complete a
modified biology major which will ex-
empt them from two biology courses:
Ecology (Biology 224) and Plant Scien-
ces (Biology 225). (This modified major
requires the successful completion of the
initial year at the Pennsylvania College
of Optometry.) Students desiring other
majors must coordinate their plans with
the Health Professions Advisory Com-
mittee in order to insure that they have
satisfied all requirements.

The Philadelphia Urban Semester —

A full semester liberal arts program for
professional development and field study
is now available to Lycoming students.
The program components are: field
placement; City Seminar: evening semi-
nars; and living and learning in the city.
The program is open to students major-
ing in any discipline or program. The
Philadelphia Urban Semester is spon-
sored and administered by the Great
Lakes Colleges Association (Albion,
Antioch, Denison. De Pauw, Earlham,
Hope, Kalamazoo, Kenyon, Oberlin,
Ohio Wesleyan. Wabash, Wooster).

Normally the above special-semester
programs are open only to juniors.
NOTE: Lycoming College cannot assume re-
sponsibility for the health, safety, or welfare of
students engaged in or en route to or from any
off-campus studies or activities which are not
under the exclusive jurisdiction of this institu-
tion.

Podiatry — Students interested in
podiatry may either seek admission to a
college of podiatric medicine upon com-
pletion of the bachelor of arts degree or
through the Accelerated Podiatric
Medical Education-Curriculum Program
(APMEC). The latter program provides
an opportunity for students to qualify for
admission to the Pennsylvania College of
Podiatric Medicine (PCPM) or the Ohio
College of Podiatric Medicine (OCPM)
after three years of study at Lycoming.
At Lycoming, students in the APMEC
program must successfully complete 24
unit courses, including the distribution
program and a basic foundation in biolo-
gy, chemistry, physics, and mathema-
tics. During the first year of studyt at
PCPM or OCPM, students must success-
fully complete a program of basic scien-
ce courses and an introduction to podiat-
ry. Successful completion of the first
year of professional training will contri-
bute toward the fulfillment of the course
requirements for the bachelor of arts de-
gree at Lycoming.

Most students in the cooperative prog-
ram will major in biology; if so, they will
be allowed to complete a modified major
which will exempt them from two biolo-
gy courses: Ecology (Biology 224) and
Plant Sciences (Biology 225). (This
modified major requires the successful
completion of the initial year at PCPM or
OCPM).

Students interested in a career in
podiatric medicine should indicate their
intentions to the Health Professions
Advisory Committee.

U.S. Army Reserve Officers Train-
ing Corps Program (R.O.T.C.) — The

program provides an opportunity for
Lycoming students to enroll in R.O.T.C.
Lycoming notes enrollment in and suc-
cessful completion of the program on
student transcripts. Military Science is a
four-year program divided into a basic
course given during the freshman and
sophomore years and an advanced course
given during the junior and senior years.
Students who have not completed the
basic course may qualify for the adv-
anced course by completing summer
camp between the sophomore and junior

years. Students enrolled in the advanced
course receive an annual stipend of
$1 ,000. One course each in written com-
munication, human behavior and milit-
ary history will fulfill the professional
military education requirements.
R.O.T.C. scholarship cadets must also
complete one semester of a foreign lan-
guage.

Students successfully completing the
advanced course and advanced summer
camp between the junior and senior years
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. The only expense to the
student for this program is the $75 uni-
form adeposit, which is refundable, less
costs.

Sculpture — The Art Department
with the Johnson Atelier Technical Insti-
tute of Sculpture in Mercerville, New
Jersey, offers a BFA degree in sculpture.
It uses a classical apprenticeship
approach as its teaching method. This
ancient method of teaching is combined
at Johnson with the most modem and
technically advanced foundry and fabri-
cating techniques.

The Art Department offers a synthesis
program that interrelates the student ex-
perience at both institutions. This is
achieved by having the student rotate be-
tween Lycoming and the atelier so that
each form of education is preparation for
the other. Lycoming offers a core
academic program, a course of study in
the Art Department, and elective course
opportunities. Lycoming gives eight
course units of college credit to the stu-
dent for having successfully completed
one of the apprenticeship programs at the
Johnson Atelier.

All work completed by the student at
Lycoming by the end of the sophomore
year will be applicable to a bachelor of
arts degree with a major in art should the
student decide to withdraw from the BFA
program. If the student should withdraw
from the cooperative program prior to
completing the apprenticeship at the
Johnson Atelier, Lycoming will give up
to four units of credit or one semester's

work for the internship. If, however, the
student completes more work at the ate-
lier than the four units, that extra work
will not be credited to the bachelor of arts
degree; it will only be used as part of the
bachelor of fine arts degree, and then
only if the course at the atelier is com-
pleted.

This course of study is very rigorous.
It will require that the student be in-
volved almost continuously, either at
Lycoming or at the Johnson Atelier, dur-
ing the four years it will take to complete
the degree. (See Art Department listing
for specific program.)

Student Enrichment Semester —

This voluntary program is designed to
expand academic and life opportunities
for students and to provide for participa-
tion in specialized programs and courses
not available at Lycoming. Other mem-
bers of the program are Bucknell and
Susquehanna Universities, the Williams-
port Area Community College, and
Bloomsburg, Lock Haven, and Man-
sfield Universities. Students other than
freshmen enroll full or part time for cre-
dit, normally for one semester or term, at
any participating institution in selected
courses. Students in the program remain
fully enrolled as degree candidates at
their home institutions. A special oppor-
tunity within the program is the cross-
registration arrangement with the Wil-
liamsport Area Community College,
whereby students may enroll for less than
a full-time course load while remaining
enrolled in courses at Lycoming.

Student Teaching Abroad — Lycom-
ing College has estabished a cooperation
program with Moorhead State University
whereby teacher education students may
do all or part of their student teaching in a
foreign country.

This program offers exceptional stu-
dents the opportunity to student teach in
nearly any country in the world. Students
are placed in independent international
schools where English is the instruction-
al language. An effort is made to assign
students in geographical areas that will
enrich their backgrounds, serve their
special interests and expand their cultural

horizons.

Washington, United Nations and
London Semester and Capitol Semes-
ter Internship Program — With the
consent of the Department of Political
Science, selected students are permitted
to study in Washington, D.C., at The
American University for one semester.
They may choose from seven different
programs: Washington Semester, Urban
Semester, Foreign Policy Semester, In-
ternational Development Semester. Eco-
nomic Policy Semester, Science and
Technology Semester, American Studies
Semester.

With the consent of either the Depart-
ment of History or Political Science,
selected students may enroll at Drew
University in Madison, New Jersey, in
the United Nations Semester, which is
designed to provide a first-hand ac-
quaintance with the world organization.
Students with special interests in world
history, international relations, law, and
politics are eligible to participate.

The London Semester programs of
Drew and The American Universities
emphasize European history, politics,
and culture. Interested students partici-
pate with the consent of either the De-
partments of History or Political Sci-
ence.

The Capitol Semester Internship Prog-
ram is available to eligible students on a
competitive basis. The program is co-
sponsored by Pennsylvania's Office of
Administration and Department of
Education. Paid Internships are available
to students in most majors. Interested
students should contact the Career De-
velopment Center for additional in-
formation.

THE SCHOLAR PROGRAM

The Lycoming College Scholar Prog-
ram is a special program designed to
meet the needs and aspirations of highly
motivated students of superior intellec-
tual ability. The Lycoming Scholar satis-
fies the general distribution require-
ments, but on a more exacting level and
with more challenging courses than the
average student. Lycoming Scholars also

participate in special courses and semi-
nars and in serious independent study
culminating in a senior project super-
vised by their major department.

Students are admitted to the program
by invitation of the Scholar Council, the
group which oversees the program. The
council consists of a Director and four
other faculty selected by the Dean of the
College, and four students elected by
current scholars. The guidelines gov-
erning selection of new scholars are
flexible; academic excellence, intellec-
tual curiosity, and creativity are all taken
into account. Students who desire to par-
ticipate in the Scholar Program but are
not invited may petition the Scholar
Council for consideration.

To remain in the program, students
must maintain a GPA of 3.0 or better.
Students dropping below this average
will be placed on Scholar probation until
their average improves, or they are asked
to leave the program. To graduate as a
Scholar, a student must have at least a
3.0 cumulative average. Scholars must
take the First Year Scholar Seminar dur-
ing their first semester in the program
and the Senior Scholar Seminar during
their last year in residence at Lycoming.
In addition, the following distribution re-
quirements must be met. (Slightly mod-
ified requirements exist for students in
the cooperative programs; a list of these
requirements can be obtained from the
Scholar Council.)

INTERNATIONAL STUDIES

Professor: Larson
(Coordinator)

The major is designed to integrate an
understanding of the changing social,
political, and historical environment of
Europe today with study of Europe in its
relations to the rest of the world, particu-
larly the United States. It stresses the
international relations of the North
Atlantic community and offers the stu-
dent opportunity to emphasize either
European studies or international rela-
tions. The program provides multiple
perspectives on the cultural traits that
shape popular attitudes and institutions.
Study of a single country is included as a
data-base for comparisons, and study of
its language, as a basis for direct com-
munication with its people.

The program is intended to prepare a
student either for graduate study or for
careers which have an international com-
ponent. International obligations are in-
creasingly assumed by government
agencies and a wide range of business,
social, religious, and educational orga-
nizations. Opportunities are found in the
fields of journalism, publishing, com-
munications, trade, banking, advertis-
ing, management, and tourism. The
program also offers flexible career pre-
paration in a variety of essential skills,
such as research, data analysis, report
writing, languge skills, and the aware-
ness necessary for dealing with people
and institutions of another culture. Pre-
paration 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 consultation with
members of the Committee on Interna-
tional Studies.

By completing six to eight additional
courses in the social sciences (which in-
clude those courses needed to complete a
major in economics, history, political
science, or sociology/anthropology) and

the required program in eduction, stu-
dents can be certified for the teacher
education program in social studies. By
completing a major in the foreign lan-
guage (five or more courses) and the
education program, students can be certi-
fied to teach that language. The Interna-
tional Studies program also encourages
participation in study-abroad programs,
as well as the Washington and United
Nations semesters.

The major includes 1 1 courses
selected as follows:

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 En-
glish. French. German, and Spanish.
Students 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 students for graduate
study in either of the two literatures stu-
died or in comparative literature.

The major requires at least six litera-

ture courses, equally divided between
the two literatures concerned. The six
must be at the advanced level as deter-
mined in consultation with advisors (nor-
mally courses numbered 200 and above
in English and 400 and above in foreign
languges). In general, two of the adv-
anced courses in each literature should be
period courses. The third course, taken
either as a regular course or an indepen-
dent 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 depart-
ments involved. Any prerequisite
courses in the respective departments
(for example: English 106, French 221-
222 or 228, German 221-222, Spanish
221-222) should be taken during the
freshman year. Students should design
their programs in consultation with a
faculty member from each of the litera-
tures concerned. Programs for the major
must be approved by the departments
involved.

NEAR EAST CULTURE
AND ARCHAEOLOGY

Professor; Guerra (Coordinator)

The Near East culture and archaeology
interdisciplinary major is designed to ac-
quaint students with the "cradle of West-
em civilization," both in its ancient and
modem aspects. Majors will complete a
minimum of eight to ten courses related
to the Near East.

Required courses are described in their
departmental sections and include;

1 . Four courses in language and culture
from;

History and Culture of the Ancient
Near East (Religion 228)
History of Art (Art 222)
Ancient History (History 210)
Old Testament Faith and History
(Religion 113)

Judaism and Islam (Religion 224)
Two semesters of foreign language
(Hebrew 101-102, or Greek 101-102)

2. Two courses in archaeology from:
Biblical Archaeology (Religion 226)
Special Archaeology courses, such as
independent studies or in May or

summer terms in the Near East.
3. Two courses in the cooperating de-
partments (art, history, pohtical science,
religion and sociology-anthropology) or
related departments. 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 prog-
ram. The study of modern Arabic or
Hebrew is encouraged.

Other courses may be suggested by the
supervisory committee within the limits
of a 10-course major. The number of
courses taken within this program applic-
able toward fulfilling the College dis-
tribution requirements will vary accord-
ing to the selection of courses.

Assistant Professors: Gingrow,
Pagana, Parrish (Chairperson)

Instructors; Atkinson, Auker,
Dunkelberger, Ficca,
Gray-Vickrey

Part-time Instructors: Bird, McKeegan

Students wishing to major in nursing
will be admitted to the College under the
usual admission procedures. Freshmen
should follow the nursing curriculum
plan for the freshman year in the sequ-
ence designated. To be considered for
continuation in nursing, a minimum
G.P.A. of 2.5 is required at completion
of the freshman year. A supplementary
application should be submitted to the
Department of Nursing by January 30 of
the freshman year.

Registered Nurses

The Department of Nursing offers an
alternative curriculum for registered
nurses within the existing BSN program.
The goals of this alternative curriculum
are to provide registered nurses with the
opportunity to earn an educationally
sound BSN degree while completing the
degree requirements in as short a time

period as possible, and to meet the uni-
que needs of registered nurses. Nursing
300 and 310 are open only to registered
nurses and are required as part of the
alternative curriculum. Registered
nurses may challenge for credit the fol-
lowing nursing courses: Nursing 220, the
skills component of Nursing 22 1 . the ob-
stetrical component of Nursing 330, 33 1 ,
332, 334, and 440. For successful chal-
lenge of any clinical nursing course by
registered nurses, a grade of C- or better
is required; that is, 70% or 1.67 is re-
quired in both the theoretical and clinical
components of the course.

In addition, registered nurses in this
program may challenge for credit any
required nonnursing course provided that
they obtain the permission of both the
Department of Nursing and the depart-
ment in which that course is offered.
These examinations may not be available
for every required course.

Additional information for registered
nurses seeking the BSN is available from
the Department of Nursing. Individual
advisement is offered to all registered
nurses.

Clinical Learning Resources

In addition to the College's new well-
equipped Nursing Skills Lab, opportun-
ity for self-learning is provided in the
adjacent Learning Center which is equip-
ped with electronic study carrels and au-

A wide variety of health-care agencies
in the surrounding area are utilized for
clinical experiences. Cooperating hos-
pitals and agencies include: Divine Pro-
vidence Hospital, Williamsport Hospital
and Medical Center, Evangelical Hospit-
al, Geisinger Medical Center, Leader
Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Cen-
ter, Danville State Hospital, Pennsylva-

PHILOSOPHY

Associate Professor: Griffith.

Whelan
Assistant Professor; Herring

(Chairperson)

The study of philosophy develops a
critical understanding of the basic con-
cepts and presuppositions around which
we organize our thought in science,
religion, education, morality, the arts.
and other human enterprises. A major in
philosophy, together with appropriate
other courses, can provide an excellent
preparation for policy-making positions
of many kinds, for graduate study in
several fields, and for careers in educa-
tion, law. and the ministry. The major
in philosophy consists of eight courses
numbered 1 10 or above, including 438,
439. 449 and at least three other courses
numbered 225 or above.

A minor in Philosophy consists of any
four philosophy courses numbered 220
or above; or any five philosophy courses
number 1 10 or above, three of which
must be numbered 300 or above. Three
more specialized minors are also avail-
able: a minor in Philosophy and Law
consists of four courses from Philosophy
224, 225, 334. 335, 449 or Independent
Studies or five courses including any
three courses from the preceding list and
any two courses from Philosophy 115,
216, 218, 219; a minor in Philosophy
and Science consists of four courses from
Philosophy 223, 225, 331. 333. 449 or
Independent Studies; a minor in the His-
tory of Philosophy consists of four

courses from Philosophy 223, 224, 438.
439, 449 or Independent Studies. Since
topics in Philosophy 449 and indepen-
dent studies projects vary, these courses
may be used to count toward a special-
ized minor only if they are approved in
advance by the department.

POLITICAL SCIENCE

Professor: Giglio
Associate Professor: Roskin

(Chairperson)
Part-time Instructor: Wolf

The major is designed to provide a
systematic understanding of government
and politics at the international, national,
state, and local levels. Majors are en-
couraged to develop their faculties to
make independent, objective analyses
which can be applied to the broad spec-
trum of the social sciences.

Although the political science major is
not designed as a vocational major, stu-
dents with such training may go directly
into government service, journalism,
teaching, or private administrative agen-
cies. A political science major can pro-
vide the base for the study of law, or for
graduate studies leading to administra-
tive work in federal, state, or local gov-

emments, international organizations, or
college teaching. Students seeking certi-
fication to teach secondary school social
studies may major in political science but
should consult their advisors and the
education department.

A major consists of eight political sci-
ence courses, including Political Science
1 16. Prospective majors are encouraged
to register for this course during their
freshman year. An exemption will be
granted only if it strengthens the stu-
dent's program. In addition to 1 16, stu-
dents must take at least one course in
each of five areas (A to E). Students are
encouraged, also, to select a minor in
another department in accordance with
their academic and career interests and in
consultation with their departmental
advisor.

For non-majors, the department offers
three minors: a minor in Political Science
consists of any four courses numbered
200 or above from areas A to E; a minor
in Foreign Affairs consists of four
courses selected from Political Science
220, 225, 326, 327, 438 and 439: and a
minor in Legal Studies consists of Poli-
tical Science 33 1 , 335, 436 and one other

The Campus

Eighteen buildings sit on Lycoming's
20-acre main campus. Most buildings
have been constructed since 1950, even
though Lycoming — one of America's
50 oldest colleges and universities —
dates back to 1812. All buildings are
easy to reach from anywhere on cam-
pus. A 12-acre athletic field and football
stadium lie a few blocks north of the
main campus.

Modern buildings include the eight
residence halls, which contain clean and
comfortable single and double rooms;
the student union; and the physical
education/recreation center. Up-to-date
facilities include the library theatre, the
planetarium, the computer center, an
electronic-music studio, a photography
laboratory, and an art gallery. The com-
puter center opened in 1969; the art gal-
lery and physical education center
opened in 1980. An arts center was
renovated and opened in 1983.

ADMINISTRATION

Drum House: Built in 1857 as a rental
property, the Admissions House is the
oldest and smallest building on the cam-
pus. It was first occupied by a Presby-
terian parson. Founded in 1812, the
Williamsport Academy, predecessor to
Lycoming College, was likewise Pres-
byterian until 1848 when the institution
was purchased by the Methodists to
become the Williamsport Dickinson
Seminary.

The Admissions House was bought
by the College in 1931, along with
twenty-eight other dwellings and in
1940 became the President's home.
John W. Long occupied it for the
remainder of his tenure and D. Freder-
ick Wertz lived in the house from 1955
until 1965 when the President's home
was moved to 325 Grampian Boulevard.
The building was then converted for use
by the Fine Arts Department. In 1983.
when a new Fine Arts facility was com-
pleted, the department was relocated
and the house was vacant until 1987
when it was restored by college crafts-
men to its original Federalist design
under the supervision of Carol Baker
'60, who kindly volunteered her ser-
vices during the year-long reconstruc-
tion.

John W. Long Hall (1951) — Opened
originally as the library, it now houses

the administrative offices, including
those for the president, dean, treasurer,
registrar, admissions, alumni affairs,
public relations, institutional advance-
ment, career development, publications,
and financial aid. It includes a reception
area, central communications, and the
printing and bulk mail office.

RECREATION

Physical Education and Recreation
Center (1980) — Includes the George
R. Lamade Gymnasium, which contains
basketball and other courts; a six-lane
swimming pool; all-purpose room; sau-
na and steam room; weight room;
offices; classrooms, and Alumni
Lounge.

tains the main and private dining rooms,
Burchfield Lounge, a recreation area,
game rooms, music room, theatre, cafe
with stage, bookstore, post office, stu-
dent organization offices, and FM radio
