Statement of Purpose

Maryville College is a liberal arts, church-related college. It strives to be an instru-
ment of liberation and growth for adults of all ages. Through its curriculum the College
affirms the continuing values of a broad range of study in the humanities, the sciences,
and the arts. Avoiding narrow specialization, the College aims to enhance career opportu-
nities and develop a true sense of vocation.

To prepare students for a world of uncertainty and accelerating change, the College
seeks to stimulate purposeful inquiry, to encourage analytical thinking and effective
expression, to foster discriminating aesthetic taste and sound judgment, to provide oppor-
tunity for developing personal values, and to nurture the deep concern for persons that
leads to constructive action.

Founded by leaders of the Presbyterian/Reformed tradition, Maryville College is
related to the Presbyterian Church USA in a voluntary covenant. In an atmosphere of
freedom and sensitivity, Maryville College bears witness to God's revelation in Jesus
Christ who challenges all human beings to search for truth, to work for justice, to develop
wisdom, and to become loving persons. Continuing in this vital faith, the College believes
that it must listen attentively and humbly to all human voices so that it may hear the
call of God no matter how God may speak.

Maryville College is, in essence, a community for learning. This community includes
persons with a variety of interests, backgrounds, beliefs, and nationalities. The faculty, as
a group of scholars committed to the preservation and advancement of knowledge,
emphasizes effective teaching and encourages supportive relationships with students.
The students are challenged to grow in academic competence, personal and social matu-
rity, and spiritual discernment and commitment. In such an atmosphere of openness and
caring, lasting friendships are formed. Through caring for others on campus and beyond,
sharing genuine concern for the world, and working to fulfill the College's purpose, direc-
tors, administration, staff, faculty, and students strive to build and strengthen the
human community.

Maryville College: Past and Present

As Maryville College looks to the future it is building on a distinguished past. Founded
in 1819 under the direction of the Presbyterian Church, it welcomes men and women of
all faiths and ethnic backgrounds. It is the twelfth oldest institution of higher education
in the South.

In 1875 Maryville was the first college in Tennessee to award a B.A. degree to a
woman. In May, 1954, when state segregation laws were struck down by the United
States Supreme Court, the College returned immediately to its earlier policy of admitting
students of all races.

The College owes its existence to the vision and perseverance of the Reverend Isaac
Anderson, a circuit-riding Presbyterian minister. He believed that what was then called
the southern wilderness needed trained ministers and teachers, and he presented his
case to the Synod of Tennessee of the Presbyterian Church. The Synod voted to establish
in Maryville the Southern and Western Theological Seminary which became Maryville
College.

A Maryville education provides a range of intellectual skills, a breadth of knowledge
and understanding and a firm base for intensive study in a major field. It also helps the
student become culturally aware, service-oriented and consciously ethical with a real con-
cern for values and a capacity for life-long learning.

Maryville's expanding curriculum is revamped frequently to help develop these atti-
tudes and the skills and knowledge needed to live a successful, productive and satisfying
life. The College has also tried to internationalize the curriculum to prepare the student
for the global environment which marks today's world.

Along with its dedication to academic excellence, Maryville offers the student an
opportunity to interact with highly qualified, committed faculty and receive individual
attention and assistance during the college years.

Openness has been one hallmark of Maryville's history; creative response to changing
needs and circumstances has also been characteristic. Maryville has developed a system
of campus governance with a student senate, which enables students to share in decision
making.

Educational Goals

Maryville College seeks to be an instrument of liberation and growth for its students,
within the context of the college's stated purpose. The curriculum, and the co-curriculum
as well, should be designed to help students emerge into personhood, to become fully
human. That over-arching purpose might be approached in a number of ways and with
diverse combinations of courses and programs. Whatever its structure, however, a cur-
riculum should be based on a clear and widely-held understanding of what it seeks to
achieve. To arrive at such an understanding, those responsible for forming the curriculum
must concern themselves first with desired outcomes. The following is an attempt to state
such goals — to delineate the outlooks and perspectives characteristic of a free and
responsible person, to specify the personal competencies necessary for coping with a
world of uncertainty and accelerating change, to suggest the knowledge and insights that
should inform an educated mind.

Attitudes

1. A sense of wonder and a willingness to explore that will facilitate life-long learning.

value of creative play, and (c) the opportunities for personal growth and social

tion of accomplishment, and recognizes the necessity and dignity of labor as a
means of service to present and future generations.

Skills

1. Ability to observe, read, and listen with discernment.

2. Ability to think critically and analytically on matters both concrete and abstract.

3. Ability to see relationships, to theorize, to synthesize information.

English study before entering the College's academic program.

International applicants should send financial records showing ability to pay all costs for
one year along with their applications and academic records. In addition, a tuition deposit
is required before the College will accept and issue 1-20 forms to international students.

for international students, with language instruction on all levels. Students who need
English as a second language for either professional or academic purposes are placed

weeks of instruction, divided into two five-week sessions.

education. The College will accept courses from the Community College of the Air Force
and will evaluate other military coursework using the American Council on Education
Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services. Credit is
granted for coursework comparable to Maryville College course offerings. No more than
12 credit hours of military coursework is accepted.

for early admission. It is important to furnish evidence of a strong high school record and

ment at Maryville, the procedure is as follows: (1) Arrange for an exit interview in the

A student who is requested to withdraw, or who is expelled for disciplinary cause, will
receive no refund of tuition, fees, room or board. Students receiving financial aid will
have part or all of any refund, as appropriate, credited back to the programs from which
the awards were made.

Financial Planning

To be considered for financial assistance at Maryville College, a student must be
accepted for admission, and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
to the federal processor with a request to send the results to the College's Financial Aid
Office. Transfer students must also provide a Financial Aid Transcript from all institu-
tions previously attended.

The necessary forms may be obtained from the Financial Aid Office, the Admissions
Office, and most high school guidance offices. Since financial aid packages consisting of
one or more types of assistance are awarded on a "first come, first served" basis to eligible
applicants, it is wise to complete and submit all the required forms as early as possible.
The priority deadline for filing the FAFSA is March 1. Applicants must renew their appli-
cations on an annual basis.

Satisfactory Progress To Retain Financial Aid

Continuation of financial aid from year to year is contingent upon acceptable academic
performance and assessment of individual need. A student who falls below specified mini-
mum standards for progress toward a degree loses eligibility for assistance from federal,
state, and institutional sources. The minimum standards for progress are explained in
the Student Handbook.

Scholarships

The College offers a range of academic achievement scholarship awards. The most
prestigious award is the Presidential Scholars Program which provides full-tuition schol-
arships to prospective freshmen. Students receiving one of these four-year, renewable
awards also participate in a program of challenging activities.

Scholarships in music, art, choir, and theatre are offered to new students based on tal-
ent and achievement. Freshmen who are communicant members of the Presbyterian
Church USA are eligible to apply for the National Presbyterian College Scholarship and
the Church and College Scholars program. Freshmen and transfer students may also
apply for the Church Matching Scholarship, if applicable.

Additional scholarships are available to students on the basis of demonstrated commit-
ment to volunteer service. The Bonner Scholars Program offers a select group of students
financial support and enrichment activities while attending Maryville College. The pur-
pose of the program is to provide students who have financial need with an opportunity to
become heavily involved in a variety of community service programs while obtaining a
college education. For more information, contact the Financial Aid Office, Maryville
College, Maryville, TN 37804-5907.

Financial Planning

Grants

Maryville also offers a wide variety of grants to students who qualify for consideration.
In addition to offering the Maryville College Grant, the college participates in federal stu-
dent aid programs including the Pell Grant and Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grant (SEOG), which award assistance to undergraduate students on the basis of finan-
cial need.

Residents of Tennessee may apply for a state grant via the Tennessee Student
Assistance Corporation. Awards are made on the basis of financial need.

Students at Maryville who are eligible may also use Veterans Administration and
Vocational Rehabilitation benefits to finance their education.

Loans

Maryville College participates in the major federal loan programs awarded on the
basis of financial need. These programs include the Perkins Loan and the Stafford Loan.
both long-term loans for which repayment begins after graduation.

In addition, the College offers various short-term financing options including an
installment payment plan. Further assistance is available for students under the Parent
Loan (PLUS) Program, a federal loan obtained through a bank or other lending agency.

Employment

Part-time work for students is available in many areas of campus activities. Earnings
depend upon the degree of skill, the amount of personal responsibility and time involved,
and financial need.

Student Life

Education is an experience that involves both formal academic structures and informal
activities. At Maryville, students have many opportunities to develop mind, body, and
spirit through a wide variety of campus activities.

Clubs, Organizations, and Societies

Academic Life Council, Student Senate, and the Student Programming Board are a
few of the organizations through which students may participate in planning Maryville's
academic affairs, religious life, and social, cultural, and recreational programs. There are
numerous clubs and organizations at Maryville, including Amnesty International, Black
Student Association, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Habitat for Humanity, Inter-
national Club, and many others. Many students enjoy working on Maryville's campus
publications. The Highland Echo is the college newspaper; the Chilhowean is the year-
book; and Impressions is the college literary publication.

Maryville also has many professional and honor societies in which students can get to
know other students with similar interests. Honor societies for chemistry, drama, sign lan-
guage, and music are a few possibilities for campus as well as professional involvement.

The Center for Campus Ministry

Maryville College is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church USA, and encourages
spiritual growth through denominational and interdenominational activities as well as
opportunities for religious growth, personal maturity, and community service. The Center
for Campus Ministry houses the College Chaplain's office, worship center, and meeting
space. Once a week, students, faculty, and staff may gather at the CCM to worship. The
College Chaplain is always available to offer support through confidential counseling.

Music, Theatre, and the Arts

The College Concert Choir performs for special services on and off campus and tours
the nation. The Maryville College-Community Chorus is open to students and members
of the community. Guest artists and soloists perform in concert with the Maryville-Alcoa
College-Community Orchestra. The Maryville College Community Wind Ensemble and
Jazz Band, are also outlets for those who wish to perform.

Through the Maryville College Playhouse, faculty recitals and other performances,
students enjoy an excellent mix of classical and contemporary theatre and music.
Creative art exhibits featuring student and professional works are scheduled each month
in the Fine Arts Center Gallery.

Student Life

International House

The International House is a multi-functional facility serving the needs of the growing
international population on the Maryville College campus and supporting good interna-
tional understanding both on campus and in the surrounding community. The first floor
houses a meeting area, study room, and kitchen for students who want to recreate the
tastes of home. Classroom facilities on the second floor serve both the Center for English
Language Learning and the internationally-minded community.

Athletics

Maryville's Fighting Scots compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association,
Division III. The College does not offer athletic scholarships. Men's varsity sports include
baseball, basketball, football, and soccer. Tennis and volleyball are club sports. Maryville
women compete in basketball, soccer, softball, and volleyball. Tennis is a club sport.
Intramurals at Maryville include flag football, racquetball, basketball, volleyball, softball.
and table tennis.

Maryville's Physical Education and Recreation Building offers opportunities for stu-
dents to keep in shape. Facilities include a swimming pool, three gyms, racquetball courts,
a weight room and more. Outside are tennis courts, running trails, and athletic fields.

Student Center

Fayerweather Hall is located centrally on campus and provides easy access to classes.
Students gather at Fayerweather Hall to watch TV at Isaac's Coffee Shop, to shop at the
bookstore, or to pick up their mail from the campus post office.

Residence Halls and Residency Requirement

All students not living with parents or close relatives are required to live in on-campus
housing and participate in the college meal plan. The College reserves the right to revoke
the registration of any unmarried student who fails to comply with this policy.

A majority of Maryville students live on campus in one of six residence halls: Davis,
women; Gamble, men; Copeland, co-ed; Carnegie, co-ed; Lloyd, co-ed; and Pearsons, co-ed.
Most of the halls are conveniently located near Pearsons Dining Hall.

Student Services

Career Services Center

The Career Services Center assists students in evaluating career and life choices.
Beginning at the freshman level, the CS staff works with students towards career goals
and identifying student work opportunities that support career and academic goals. The
Center also provides opportunities for internships, practica and interim study arrange-
ments which help the student gain job-related experience.

The office sponsors career information seminars, arranges interviews with potential
employers, and maintains a Career Resource Library. The Center maintains listings for
part-time employment and summer jobs. It schedules interviews with graduate school
representatives and potential employers on campus and maintains information on career
opportunities with major companies nationwide.

Academic Advising

Every student has a faculty adviser who is ready to help with course schedules, career
plans, or personal problems. Students meet their freshman year advisers during orienta-
tion week and change to a departmental adviser when they declare a major, usually in
the spring of the freshman year. While students are ultimately responsible for knowing
college requirements and planning their schedules, faculty advisers are an important
part of the personalized atmosphere of the College.

Medical Services and Health Insurance

Maryville College provides full medical services through Blount Memorial Hospital
and ParkMed Medical Clinic, both within walking distance of the College. Maryville
College requires every student to be covered by health insurance, either a family plan or
the plan made available by the College. Health insurance information is available
through the Life Enrichment Center.

The College Campus

Location

Maryville College is situated on 370 acres in the foothills of the Great Smoky
Mountains in East Tennessee. It is in the City of Maryville, which, with neighboring
Alcoa (home of ALCOA, Aluminum Company of America Tennessee Operations), combine
to form twin residential communities of 46,000.

The College is just 20 minutes from Knoxville, a growing, bustling metropolis of half a
million people. In many ways Knoxville serves as a "college town" to both Maryville
College and the University of Tennessee, which is based in Knoxville.

With Knoxville directly to the north of campus and the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park only thirty minutes to the east, Maryville students have the best of both
worlds.

Maryville College's location in East Tennessee has been rated as one of the best areas
for outdoor adventure, providing an endless array of activities for students. Gatlinburg, a
popular ski and tourist resort, is easily accessible, as are a number of other fine recre-
ational spots. In addition Maryville is central to several major cities in the Southeast,
such as Atlanta, Memphis, Tampa, and Charleston. McGhee Tyson Airport, a class A
transportation center, is just three miles from the campus and is served by numerous
major and commuter airlines.

Student Body and Buildings

The student body numbers some 800, with representatives from many states and for-
eign countries.

There are 20 major buildings on campus, including Lamar Memorial Library, recently
remodeled and expanded. The Chapel/Theatre houses the 1,200-seat Wilson Chapel and
the 400-seat theatre of the Maryville College Playhouse. The modern Sutton Science
Center includes private study and research carrels, computer labs, and dream and audi-
ology labs. The Fine Arts Center has a 250-seat recital hall, art gallery, music library, and
private studios and practice rooms.

The Health and Physical Education building houses three full-size gyms, racquetball
courts, swimming pool, weight room, gymnastics room, and physical therapy room.
Fayerweather Hall houses most of the student-related offices, including the bookstore,
student lounge, post office, and snack bar.

Anderson Hall, which dates from 1870, is a national historic landmark and houses
administrative offices and classrooms, including the campus computer center.

There are five modern residence halls, each with study lounges, laundry rooms, and
kitchen facilities. The Center for Campus Ministry houses the College Chaplain's Office,
worship center, and meeting space. Recently renovated historic buildings include the
International House, Willard House, Carnegie Hall, and Crawford House. Willard House
is the site of the Alumni Center and College Advancement Offices; Crawford House is the
home of the Life Enrichment Center.

The Academic Program

Degrees

Maryville College offers three degrees, the Bachelor of Arts, the Bachelor of Music, and
the Bachelor of Science in Health Care. All three degrees may be earned by full-time stu-
dents. For mature adults who wish to pursue a degree on a part-time basis while carrying
other substantial responsibilities, the B.A. in certain fields is offered through the Evening
College; those programs are described in another college bulletin available through the
Office of Continuing Education.

Degree Requirements

To receive any degree, the student must complete all requirements specified for that
degree in the catalog in effect at the time of initial enrollment. For all degrees, a mini-
mum of 128 semester-hours of credit must be earned with a cumulative grade point aver-
age of at least 2.0.

For all degrees, the courses taken must satisfy all general education, major, and major-
related requirements. The English proficiency examination and a comprehensive exami-
nation in the major field must be passed. A requirement in swimming, emphasizing
survival skills and maneuverability in the water, must also be satisfied, either by demon-
stration of competence or satisfactory completion of an appropriate course.

The specific requirements for each degree are described in the section of this catalog
devoted to it. Each student must complete three Experiential Education Units.

Every candidate for a degree is expected to pursue his or her program of studies in res-
idence at Maryville, especially in meeting general education and major requirements. If
circumstances warrant, permission may be granted for non-resident credit. Approval of
the appropriate department chairperson and the registrar is then required in advance.

As a minimum, each degree candidate must complete at Maryville 45 credit hours,
including 20 in the senior year and nine in the major field. These credit hours must be
earned in regular courses taught at the College and may not include internships, prac-
tica, student teaching, or credit by examination. An exception to the senior year require-
ment is made for students in cooperative degree programs, who spend the senior year in
residence at the cooperating institution.

Majors

As a degree requirement, each student completes an approved program of concen-
trated study in a major field. The major is commonly taken in a single discipline, along
with several courses in related subjects. An individualized major may be designed, how-
ever, to meet particular educational needs.

A disciplinary major consists of a minimum of 30 semester hours in a single discipline,
including six hours devoted to a Senior Thesis, and, for the B.A., a maximum of 56 hours
in all principal and related subjects. The teacher licensure track within some majors may
exceed the 56 hour limit because of the addition of professional courses. For an individu-

The Academic Program

alized major, possible only with the B.A. degree, at least 18 hours in one subject, 12 hours
in a related subject, and six hours in Senior Thesis are required; approval of the
Committee on Individualized Instruction must also be obtained.

The student may select a major by the end of the freshman year, but such selection
may wait until the sophomore year in some fields. Postponement of the choice beyond the
sophomore year, or a subsequent change of field, is likely to delay graduation beyond the
normal four years.

A student planning to pursue a major in a highly structured program, where the
sequence of courses is an important consideration, is encouraged to confer with the appro-
priate department chair early in the first year of enrollment. Such fields include the nat-
ural sciences, mathematics, teacher education, physical education, and the cooperative
programs in engineering and nursing.

Permission of the division chair must be secured in order to major in any field.
Approval must be registered on the proper form filed by the student with the College
Registrar. Continuation in the major is contingent upon satisfactory academic perfor-
mance. Substitutions for required major courses are granted only in rare instances and
require the written approval of the division chair.

For all courses taken to satisfy major requirements for all degrees, a cumulative grade
point average of at least 2.0 must be earned with no more than four semester hours below
the grade of "C-."

Cooperative Programs

The major in engineering is a cooperative program involving three years at Maryville
College before transfer to the cooperating institution; further information is available in
the section of this catalog on Career and Graduate School Preparation. Two cooperative
dual-degree programs in nursing are available. In four years, a student may earn the B.S.
in Health Care from Maryville College and the B.S. in Nursing from the University of
Tennessee. In five years, a student may earn the B.S. in Health Care from Maryville and
the M.S. in Nursing from Vanderbilt University. Further information on nursing pro-
grams is available in the section of this catalog on the Bachelor of Science degree.

BA/MBA Program

Maryville College cooperates with the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, in a five-
year, B.A./M.B.A. program. Students study for three years at Maryville, completing gen-
eral education courses and a few M.B.A. prerequisite courses, and then move to the
University for graduate study. The B.A. with a major in business is awarded after com-
pletion of the first year of graduate study. Further information is available in this catalog
under the B.A. program in business.

Minors

While there is no requirement to do so, any student may elect to complete one or more
minor fields. The minor option allows the student to study an area of secondary interest
in some depth, and to have that study listed on the academic record. The secondary field
may be of a vocational or cultural interest, or it may serve to diversify one's preparation
and enhance career opportunities.

A minor consists of at least 15 credit hours in a subject, including 12 hours in courses
above the 100-level. Only courses in which a grade of "C-" or better is earned are counted
toward minor requirements. If a minor is desired, students should make early plans to
schedule the appropriate courses. Specific requirement for each minor are to be found in
the departmental listings. Minors may be taken in most fields in which a major is offered.
Minors are also available in the following areas:

Accounting Medieval Studies

American Studies Philosophy

Computer Science Physics
German

The Academic Program

The Library

The Lamar Memorial Library is central to the mission of Maryville College. It is a
focal point for knowledge and study — a place to read, to question, to reflect, and to learn.

Located in Thaw Hall (built in 1923), the library was renovated in 1986. Collections of
over 110,000 volumes support the educational program, provide current awareness for
discipline-related research, serve recreational reading needs, and record the institutional
history of the College. Holdings include books, periodicals, documents, microforms, audio-
visual materials, and CD-ROM resources. In 1995 the library will provide computerized
access to its holdings through an integrated library system.

To facilitate the efficient use of library information sources, reference assistance is pro-
vided during all hours of service at the "Ask Here" desk. Reference staff work with students
individually to formulate information needs, identify sources, and instruct in their use.

Instruction for classes is an important part of reference service: library faculty teach
components of Inquiry and freshman English courses that are devoted to information
skills and search strategies; as students move into their major areas of study, they are
introduced to subject-specific methodologies and resources in the library.

The library is a center for services that stimulate, encourage, and teach the use of
information resources, and equally important, provide access to holdings elsewhere.
Through membership in consortia and other networks, the library shares materials with
libraries throughout the United States. In addition, the library provides online access to
the nearby University of Tennessee and other library catalogs. World-wide information
resources on the Internet are available from the library reference area.

The library affirms and subscribes to the International Interlibrary Loan Code,
the American Library Association Library Code of Ethics, and the American Library
Association Library Bill of Rights.

Special Learning Opportunities

Every student's program of study centers on the familiar work of classroom and labo-
ratory, library and studio. Yet important learning also takes place in less familiar set-
tings, where the student is called upon to adapt to a new environment, to act without
one's customary support system, to develop trust in one's own resources of intelligence
and discipline. It is to encourage that kind of learning, so critical to personal maturity,
that the College makes available a variety of special programs.

Study Abroad

Mark Twain once wrote that "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-minded-
ness — all foes to real understanding." Recognizing the validity of that statement,
Maryville College believes a period of travel and study outside the United States should
be a part of one's education whenever possible. Confronting other cultures and view-
points, learning about the customs and practices in other societies, coping with unfamil-
iar surroundings in a language not fully one's own can do much to deepen insights and
broaden perspectives. Such experience can also foster remarkable personal growth.

A range of opportunities for guided travel and study is available. Some of these are
sponsored directly by Maryville College. In recent years, for example, groups of students
and faculty have used the January term for trips to Great Britain, Peru, and Venezuela.
For more extended periods, however, it is advantageous for the College to associate with
other institutions to expand and diversify what can be done. Through such associations
Maryville students can experience life and study in many areas of the globe.

A period of study abroad is possible at any time after the freshman year, but most stu-
dents find the junior year, or the preceding summer, the most convenient time. Planning
needs to be started well in advance, and is best done in close consultation with the
Coordinator of International Studies. The programs listed here all carry full academic
credit and, for direct exchange programs, grades are figured into student G.P.A.s.
Students may also choose to study at foreign institutions with which Maryville College
does not have a relationship. In those cases, financial aid is not available and credits
earned are treated as transfer credit.

Direct Exchange Programs

Study abroad programs are administered by the International Programming Committee.
Detailed information on study abroad is found in a brochure available from the Committee
or from the Office of Academic Affairs.

Maryville College maintains direct exchange programs with five overseas institutions.
Students enroll at Maryville and may receive financial aid, including MC grants, if eligi-
ble. Program stipulations vary, but in most cases tuition funds are not exchanged. Under
the reciprocal agreements, when a Maryville student studies at a related institution, a
student from that institution may study at Maryville for an equal time period. While lan-
guage study is available at all of the institutions listed below, instruction in English is
the norm.

Study in Wales is available through the North East Wales Institute, a unit of the
University of Wales located near the English border in the region of the historic city of

Special Learning Opportunities

Chester. NEWI offers a wide range of programs including liberal arts, teacher education,
environmental studies and the arts.

Students interested in the Spanish language and Latin American culture may study at
the Inter American University of Puerto Rico, a Presbyterian-related institution.

Kansai University of Foreign Studies in Osaka, Japan, provides a way for students to
learn first-hand about East Asia. The curriculum focuses on Asian Studies, and provides
an important supplement to the coursework in international studies offered on the
Maryville campus. Those who begin the study of the Japanese language at Maryville may
continue it at Kansai University, or they may begin it there. Homestays are usually a
part of the Kansai experience.

Students may also study at two institutions in Korea. Programs up to one year in
duration are available at Yonsei University in Seoul and at Han Nam University in
Taejon, both Presbyterian-related institutions.

Other Study Abroad Opportunities

Programs listed in this category do not involve direct exchange with another institu-
tion. Maryville College grants are not available for study in these programs, but eligible
students may receive state and federal aid.

Students may also study in Mexico and several European countries through coopera-
tive programs with Alma College. The Alma College program is operated in conjunction
with Interamerican University in Mexico City, Mexico, and with the Europa-Kolleg in
Kassel, Germany.

By arrangement with Kalamazoo College, Maryville students may spend six months or
more studying at an African university or college. Opportunities are normally available at
two institutions in Sierra Leone, and often at universities in Liberia, Senegal, Nigeria,
and Kenya. Participation is dependent upon admission by the African institution and
selection by Kalamazoo College, but a place can usually be found for qualified students.
For most programs, a summer's preparatory work at Kalamazoo is required.

Internships and Practica

Many academic departments offer opportunities for students to gain practical experi-
ence, usually related to the major field, through an internship or practicum. These super-
vised experiences provide a chance to apply knowledge and skills in an operational
setting, while testing one's interest in a particular career or profession. Possibilities
range from individual work with exceptional children in the College's Learning Center to
editorial duties in a publishing house to service as an aide to a public official. Academic
departments and the Office of Career Services occasionally assist students in arranging
post-graduate or other non-credit internships.

Credit earned for practica and internships is in proportion to the scope and duration of
the experience. Practicum experiences are allotted two to six credit hours. Practica may
be pursued while the student is enrolled in other coursework, and in some cases the work
may be done on campus and be related to the College program. Departmental guidelines
for practica vary, but for each credit hour granted students are expected to be involved
the equivalent of at least three hours of activity per week for a semester. Internships are
allotted 9 to 15 credit hours and are intended to give students a more complete immer-

Special Learning Opportunities

sion in a work or service setting. Other coursework is normally not taken during an
internship, though the Senior Thesis (351 or 352) is sometimes completed during a fall or
spring internship. Internships take place off-campus and require a time commitment
equivalent to full-time employment, with credit allotted on the basis of one credit hour for
each week of full-time involvement.

Academic departments offering internships or practica for credit are required to have
written guidelines for these experiences. The guidelines are available in each department
and in the Registrar's office. Guidelines include application and approval procedures, the
range of accepted experiences, methods of reporting and verifying experiences, and the
duties of the faculty supervisor and the off-campus supervisor. Departmental guidelines
may restrict or prohibit remuneration. Remuneration may be permitted insofar as guide-
lines for the learning experience are followed and faculty supervisors work closely with
organizations and off-campus supervisors to protect the student and to ensure the quality
of the experience as an extension of the College curriculum. Internships (numbered 337)
and practica (343) may be made available in any major; they appear in course listings
only when required or strongly recommended. Internships and practica are graded on a
Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory basis; letter grades are not assigned except in Education 343
and 401.

Internships and practicum experiences are routinely available for students in art, biol-
ogy, chemistry, business, English, writing/communications, environmental studies,
psychology, child development, recreation, sign language interpreting, and teacher educa-
tion; they can be developed in other areas to meet student interest.

Model United Nations

The Model United Nations program provides opportunities to develop talents and abil-
ities that are highly valuable in a variety of pursuits. Maryville College students partici-
pate in Model United Nations activities in three ways. A January experiential learning
course is regularly offered, and students enrolled in that course also serve as leaders for
the Maryville College Model United Nations for area high school students. Outstanding
participants in those programs may also represent Maryville at regional and national
Model United Nations programs for colleges and universities.

The Washington Experience

For the student who wishes to spend a semester learning in the nation's capital, the
Washington Center for Learning Alternatives provides a variety of possibilities. An
internship, supplemented by seminars, may be arranged with any one of more than 400
governmental and social agencies. WCLA invites applications without regard to the stu-
dent's field, but its programs are particularly suitable for those considering a career in
law, public administration, or social service. The program is open to all students, and
information is available from the Political Science faculty.

Special Learning Opportunities

Research and Field Work in the Natural Sciences

Through several major research facilities, arrangements are made for superior stu-
dents to participate in state-of-the-art scientific investigations and experience a profes-
sional research environment. The National Science Foundation supports a large number
of summer undergraduate research programs, and the Science and Engineering Research
Semester is open to qualified students in biology, chemistry, computer science, mathemat-
ics, and physics. Those accepted into these programs spend a summer, or even a semester
at one of several research universities or national laboratories such as Argonne,
Brookhaven, Lawrence Berkeley, Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos, or Pacific Northwest
working under the supervision of a scientist or engineer.

At the Savannah River Ecological Station at Aiken, South Carolina, summer programs
are offered for the student interested in environmental research or computer modeling sys-
tems. For the exceptional biology major, intensive sessions in botany, marine ecology, devel-
opmental biology, invertebrate zoology, and neurophysiology are available at the Marine
Biological Laboratories of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Massachusetts.

Closer to the College campus, the Oak Ridge National Laboratories regularly afford
Maryville students the chance to participate in a variety of short-term and summer
research and study programs. The nearby Great Smoky Mountains provide students with
a rich resource for ecological and other field studies.

Oak Ridge Associated Universities. Since 1990, students and faculty of Maryville
College have benefited from our membership in Oak Ridge Associated Universities
(ORAU), a consortium of colleges and universities located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
ORAU works with its member institutions to help students and faculty gain access to fed-
eral research facilities throughout the country; to keep its members informed about
opportunities for fellowship, scholarship and research opportunities; and to organize
research alliances among its members.

Through the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education, the Department of Energy
facility that ORAU manages, undergraduates and faculty enjoy access to a multitude of
opportunities for study and research. Students can participate in programs covering a
wide variety of disciplines including business, earth sciences, epidemiology, engineering,
physics, pharmacology, ocean sciences, biomedical sciences, nuclear chemistry, and math-
ematics. Many of these programs are designed to increase numbers of underrepresented
minority students pursuing degrees in the sciences and engineering.

ORAU's office for University, Industry, and Government Alliances (UIGA) seeks oppor-
tunities for collaborative research and development alliances among ORAU's members,
private industry, and major federal laboratories. Current alliances include the Southern
Association for High Energy Research, the Bioelectromagnetics Research Consortium.
High Performance Computing, Bioprocessing, Pan American Association for Physics,
Materials Science Forum, and international initiatives in support of the New Independent
states of Central and Eastern Europe. Other UIGA activities include the sponsorship of
conferences and workshops, the Visiting Scholars program, and the Junior Faculty
Enhancement Awards.

Students should contact the chair of the Division of Natural Sciences for more informa-
tion about ORAU programs.

Special Learning Opportunities

Individual Study Course

For a course in the major field a student may substitute a program of individual read-
ing or experimental work. The student may also take an additional major course on this
basis. Such coursework carries a 350 number and may not exceed a total of three credit
hours. The student must have at least junior standing. Such a program is pursued under
the guidance of a faculty member, who confers regularly with the student and assesses
progress. Approval of the department chair is required, and an additional fee is charged.

Honors Study

Honors study at Maryville College may be pursued in four ways. Participation in any
honors program is reserved for those students with a cumulative grade point average of
3.25 or higher and those students who have attained sophomore standing. Honors work is
voluntary, except for Presidential Scholars and Dean's Scholars, who are required to par-
ticipate in a limited number of honors activities. Honors study is distinct from and in no
way related to honors designations for graduating seniors (cum laude, magna cum laude,
and summa cum laude). Honors study is noted on College transcripts.

HONORS SEMINARS are offered annually by distinguished members of the
Maryville College faculty. Honors seminars may be special sections of regular course
offerings, or they may cover topics not regularly a part of the College curriculum. Honors
seminars may count as electives, as major courses (if approved by the division chair), or
as substitutions for general education courses (if approved by the Academic Vice
President). Enrollment in honors seminars is limited in most cases to fifteen students,
with first priority for enrollment for seniors, followed by juniors and sophomores. Honors
seminars are listed annually in the Schedule of Courses booklet.

HONORS STUDY IN MAJOR COURSES permits students of superior ability to
pursue honors study related to major courses in which they are registered. The honors
work goes beyond basic course requirements and may take the form of additional reading,
writing, experimentation or creative work, or any combination of these.

For successful completion of honors study in a major course, students may receive one
additional credit hour beyond the regular credit allotment for the course. Arrangements
for honors study are negotiated with the course instructor and require the approval of the
division chair. The arrangements must be reported to the registrar not later than the first
week of the course.

HONORS TUTORIAL PRACTICA are programs of guided tutoring in which an hon-
ors student tutors other students under the guidance of the Learning Center Director.
Students act as tutors and study table leaders in the various academic assistance programs
offered to Maryville College students. Each practicum in this special program is awarded
one credit hour and the course may be repeated to a maximum of four credit hours.

HONORS IN APPLIED MUSIC is a program intended for students pursuing the
Bachelor of Music degree in piano or vocal performance and for students who wish, some
additional performance emphasis within other degree programs. Three credit hours per
semester are earned for an hour lesson or two half-hour lessons and at least ten hours

Special Learning Opportunities

practice per week. In addition, in the course of the academic year, sophomores must per-
form as soloist for at least ten minutes in student recitals, juniors must give a half-hour
recital, and seniors must give a full recital. Enrollment in the honors program in applied
music requires the approval of the music faculty, based on successful audition and evi-
dence of talent and good practice habits.

Community Forurn

To supplement classroom learning, the College schedules an extensive program of lec-
tures, presentations, and performances. These take the form of convocations attended by
students, faculty, and staff, as well as residents of the local community. The series seeks
to inform the entire College community about critical issues in politics, religion, econom-
ics, social relations, international affairs, and the arts, and to engage participants in dis-
cussion of the value considerations posed by those issues. Each semester the five to seven
Community Forum events relate to a particular theme. Events may be linked to particu-
lar courses, and participation in those events is an integral part of those courses.
Otherwise, attendance is voluntary. A student who attends regularly and verifies that
attendance, may earn credit toward graduation. For attending five events in a semester,
one-half credit hour is earned; a maximum of four credit hours may be earned in this way.

There is no admission fee, but the student who wishes to receive credit for attendance
is subject to an overload charge if the normal load for the semester is exceeded.

Life Enrichment Program

The Maryville College Life Enrichment Program (MCLEP or "portfolio") is a means to
enrich and diversify the student's educational experience through a combination of curnc-
ular and co-curricular activities. In the program each student works closely with a faculty
or staff mentor to identify or design projects appropriate for his or her personal growth.
The projects must fall into the categories of service, creativity, adventure, self-manage-
ment/health, or cross-cultural experience. Only one credit hour may be earned in any cat-
egory, and no more than three credit hours may be earned in the program. Only one
project may be taken for credit in a semester. The program is available only during the
fall and spring semesters.

A central feature of each project is the maintenance of a personal journal, the purposes
of which are to encourage careful observation and reflection and to deepen knowledge of
oneself. Through completion of an individually-designed project, undertaken outside the
curricular structure, the student earns one credit hour. When a project is done in connec-
tion with a course, only the credit hours appropriate to that course are awarded.

Written descriptions of completed projects may be used to create a portfolio of experi-
ences. Such a portfolio serves to document personal growth, much as an academic tran-
script documents intellectual growth.

Special Learning Opportunities

Mountain Challenge

The Mountain Challenge program provides an opportunity for students to get into the
wilderness. Area mountains, lakes, rivers, and woods provide the setting for the various
Mountain Challenge activities, which include:

Ropes Courses

Rock Climbing and Rapelling

Bicycle Trips

Map and Compass

Mountain Trips and Expeditions

Canoe/Kayak Trips

Caving

Mountain Rescue and First Aid

Outdoor or Environmentally-related service projects

Many of the events in the program require no experience or special equipment. The
only requirements are a willingness to try new experiences and a commitment to your
best effort. One credit hour may be earned by participating in five Mountain Challenge
activities. Each student may earn up to three credit hours through participation in the
Mountain Challenge program. Credit is granted through the activity course offerings in
Physical Education.

Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont

The Great Smoky Mountains Institute is located in the National Park some 20 miles
from Maryville College. The program focuses on environmental education and on the nat-
ural and cultural history of the area. Formerly a program of Maryville College, the
Institute is now operated by the Great Smoky Mountains Natural History Association,
but a variety of opportunities at Tremont are available to Maryville College students.
January term courses are occasionally offered at Tremont, and the Center's summer pro-
gram includes offerings for college credit. Internships, practicum experiences and post-
graduate work opportunities are also available. Interns and staff members work
principally as instructors for the wide variety of groups that visit the Institute. Further
information is available from the Institute Director.

Dismas House

Dismas House of Blount County, located near the College campus, is a residence for ex-
prisoners and Maryville College students. The Dismas community operates as a half-way
house for ex-offenders. Students live in and occasionally do volunteer work for the house,
participating in the effort to foster reconciliation and re-adjustment for carefully screened
men and women recently released from prison. The numerous Dismas Houses throughout
the nation were founded by Father Jack Hickey and retain their character as Christian
service organizations.

Special Learning Opportunities

Career and Graduate School Preparation

Career and Graduate
School Preparation

Maryville College believes that the best undergraduate preparation for a career is the
enhancement of critical skills, the acquisition of broad-based understanding, and the
development of personal creativity and competence. These are the traditional emphases
of liberal arts education, and their value is widely recognized by the best graduate and
professional schools.

Students considering application to such schools should consult their catalogs for
admissions requirements; most graduate and professional schools do not require a spe-
cific major. Counsel should also be sought from one's faculty adviser in planning the pro-
gram of study at Maryville. Additional guidance about careers may be found in the
information that follows.

Arts and Sciences

Maryville graduates pursue advanced degrees in all the major fields of knowledge, and
many pursue interests discovered and developed at the College. Careers in college teach-
ing, research, and industry attract a significant number. A strong record in one's major
field, as well as evidence of self-discipline and effective communications skills, are impor-
tant considerations for graduate school admissions committees.

For many schools, high scores on the Graduate Record Examination are necessary, and
reading knowledge of at least one foreign language is expected. Advice about study in a
particular discipline can best be obtained from the appropriate division chair and faculty
members.

Business

Careers in some aspect of business attract a large proportion of the current generation
of college students. For those interested in self-employment or work with a small firm, a
major in general business may be adequate preparation. For the student aiming toward a
larger corporation, however, and for those planning to earn a master's degree after leav-
ing Maryville, the undergraduate major in business may not be the best choice.

Increasingly, major employers and the more highly regarded business schools empha-
size that they can provide the specialized preparation needed, that it need not be
acquired in the undergraduate years. More important in many ways than the specific
undergraduate major are the capacities to learn quickly, to think critically and analyti-
cally, to speak and write clearly, and to be effective in personal relations; these qualities
can be developed in most fields of study.

Thus the student interested in a business career might do well to major in another
area, while taking some courses, or a minor, in business or accounting or computer science.

Maryville College also maintains a cooperative relationship with the Graduate School
of Business at the University of Tennessee whereby a student may earn a B.A. in busi-
ness and the Master of Business Administration. The first three years are spent at

Career and Graduate School Preparation

Maryville College completing college requirements and the courses necessary for
advanced study in business; the student is then enrolled in the M.B.A. program of the
university.

Engineering

Marwille College honors academic work done at universities in a way that enables a
student to combine extensive preparation in the liberal arts with professional training in
engineering. This arrangement allows the student to earn two degrees, one from
Maryville College and one from the engineering school. The first three years are spent at
Maryville, completing college requirements and the courses necessary for further study in
engineering or applied science; the remaimng time, normally two years, is spent at an
accredited school of engineering. u^-nti

After approximately four years of study, which include 96 semester hours from Maryville
CoUege and 32 semester hours (with grades of "C" or better) from the engineering school,
the student will receive the B.A. degree from the College. When all requirements for the
engineering degree have been met, usuaUy by the end of the fifth year of study, the engi-
neering school will award the Bachelor of Science degree in the area of specializa ion.

The second degree may be earned in over a dozen engineering fields, as well as in the
applied sciences, depending on the university that the student attends.

Maryville students go to the engineering school as a transfer student. Ihe colleges
Dual-Degree program coordinator assists the students in both selecting an engineering
school and in the transfer process. The decision to admit rests with the other institution,
not with the College. Admission to some engineering fields is very competitive, reflecting
the current high demand for places in an entering class.

Any student interested in pursuing the Dual-Degree option is urged to consult the
Dual-Degree Coordinator in the Division of Mathematics and Computer Science as early
in the freshman year as possible.

Interpreting for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing

Recent years have seen a growing awareness of the special needs of the physically and
mentally challenged, and efforts to meet those needs have been renewed. As a result
there are expanding career opportunities for those with the understanding, commitment
and skills to assist persons with special needs to make their maximum contributions to
society. Since 1974, Maryville College has pioneered in the preparation ol interpreters tor

the Deaf

The CoUege offers a major in sign language interpreting, one of the few four-year pro-
grams of its kind in the country. The program is designed primarily to train students to
serve as interpreters, but it also provides a foundation for those wishing to work with the
Deaf and hard-of-hearing in other capacities. A significant proportion ol the programs
graduates have discovered that their preparation has enabled them to move rapidly into
supervisory and managerial positions.

A second major, American Sign Language, provides a grounding in ASL without inter-
preter training. The major provides a background that can be applied in deal education,
language teaching and other related fields.

Career and Graduate School Preparation

Law

The practice of the law requires specialized training at a law school and subsequent
qualification for admission to the bar. When considering candidates for admission, law
schools do not require any specified pattern of undergraduate preparation. Almost any
major offered by a liberal arts college is acceptable, but economics, English, history, soci-
ology and political science are among the majors recommended.

It is especially important that any prospective law school candidate be able to think,
speak, and write clearly, and have some understanding of social, economic, and political
institutions. Admission to law school is usually determined by the total undergraduate
record and one's score on the national Law School Admissions Test. Further information
is available from the Pre-Law Adviser in the Division of Social Sciences.

Medicine and Other Health-Related Professions

For over a half-century a high proportion of Maryville graduates have entered health-
related professions, particularly medicine and dentistry. Optometry and veterinary medi-
cine and physical therapy also provide attractive possibilities for the student who is adept
in the natural sciences. All these careers require preparation at a professional school fol-
lowing completion of undergraduate work at Maryville. Admission to such schools is
highly competitive, usually requiring a superior academic record in college and high
scores on national standardized tests.

Students planning to enter these post-baccalaureate programs usually complete degree
programs with emphasis in either biology or chemistry. In the Department of Biology stu-
dents pursue the Major in Biology, and in consultation with a faculty adviser develop a for-
mal Career Advising Plan of individualized elective coursework specifically designed for
strong preparation in the particular post-graduate health field of interest. In the
Department of Chemistry students pursue the Major in Chemistry or Biochemistry, again
with the opportunity for individualized elective course work that leads to strong prepara-
tion for post-graduate study. An official Adviser on Health Related Professions is available
through the Division of Natural Sciences to provide further counsel and assistance.

Maryville College maintains strong ties with Blount Memorial Hospital and the local
medical community through its many graduates who are now practicing physicians, den-
tists and other health professionals in this area. Many are quite willing to arrange valu-
able, real-world experiences for our students through the internships and practica offered
as part of the curriculums in biology and chemistry. In addition, students are encouraged
to participate in the unique programs offered by the Medical Sciences Division of Oak
Ridge Associated Universities. More information about these excellent opportunities can
be found in this catalog under Special Learning Opportunities: Internships and Practica;
and Research and Field Work in the Natural Sciences.

Natural Sciences

Graduates in the natural sciences pursue advanced degrees in nearly all the major
areas of scientific inquiry, and many build on interests discovered and developed through
course work and research at the College. Careers in college teaching, research, industry

Career and Graduate School Preparation

and government attract a significant number of these students. A strong record in one's
major field, evidence of self-discipline and effective communications skills, and demon-
strated experience in a research environment are important considerations for graduate
school admissions committees.

With the growing national emphasis on science education, support for graduate work
in the biological and physical sciences is widely available. Most research universities offer
lucrative stipends and remission of tuition and fees to qualified students pursuing mas-
ters and doctoral degrees in the natural sciences. The best schools require high scores on
the Graduate Record Examination and reading knowledge of at least one foreign lan-
guage. Advice about advanced study in a particular discipline can be obtained from fac-
ulty members in the Division of Natural Sciences. Information about opportunities for
off-campus research at the undergraduate level can be found in this catalog under Special
Learning Opportunities: Research and Field Work in the Natural Sciences.

Nursing

Nursing has long been one of the central professions in the health care field. As a
result of sweeping changes in that field, the profession itself is changing rapidly, adapting
to new technologies, new systems for the delivery of care, and new expectations.
Preparation for nursing careers is now centered primarily in colleges and universities,
and the baccalaureate degree is increasingly considered the basic preparation for the pro-
fessional nurse.

Through cooperative arrangements with Vanderbilt University and the University of
Tennessee, Maryville College offers dual-degree programs in nursing. Students may
attend the College for three years and spend the senior year in absentia at Vanderbilt.
The B.S. in Health Care is awarded by the College after the first year of graduate study,
and the M.S. in Nursing is awarded by Vanderbilt when all requirements are satisfied.
Students may also elect to attend Maryville for two years followed by concurrent enroll-
ment at the University of Tennessee for two years, receiving the B.S. in Health Care from
the College and the B.S.N, from the University. The curriculum in the B.S./B.S.N. pro-
gram is highly structured, requiring careful planning to complete course sequences on
schedule. That planning is best done in close consultation with the program coordinator.

Teaching

For the person who enjoys learning, sharing one's knowledge, and helping young peo-
ple grow, teaching can be a rewarding career. The College offers licensure programs in
the elementary grades and in many secondary areas.

College requirements for both the elementary and secondary programs are described
in the departmental listings of this catalog. Certification requirements vary from state to
state; the Director of Teacher Education can provide specific information and advice.
Professional teacher education courses are listed under education in this catalog.

Academic Procedures and Regulations

Student Responsibility

Each student is expected to be thoroughly familiar with the academic requirements of
the College, as stated in the Catalog and the Student Handbook. The responsibility for
meeting all requirements for graduation rests entirely upon the student. Faculty advis-
ers, division chairs, the Registrar, the Academic Vice President and the Associate Dean
welcome the opportunity to provide assistance, but the basic responsibility remains with
the student personally.

Course Load

To complete a degree in four years, an average of 32 credits a year must be earned. In
the typical pattern, a student carries 14 or 15 credit hours in each of the semesters and
three credit hours during the January term. No more than four credit hours may be
taken in one of the three-week periods, whether January or summer session.

A full-time student is also permitted to audit one course each semester without addi-
tional charge. Permission of the individual instructor is necessary. The audit does not
count toward graduation requirements, but it does appear on the permanent academic
record if attendance is satisfactory.

A course load of twelve hours is required for full-time status, and the maximum load is
eighteen hours in a semester and 35 hours in an academic year. Additional hours require
the adviser's permission and an overload charge.

Late Enrollment and Withdrawal

Students are expected to attend the first class meeting of each course. After the first
meeting, enrollment in the course is possible only with the permission of the adviser and
the instructor. After the first week of classes, enrollment is possible only with the permis-
sion of the adviser, the instructor, and the Associate Dean. Permission to enter a course
after five class meetings is given only in rare circumstances.

Withdrawal from a course after the semester has begun requires the approval of the
instructor and the adviser and the filing of a completed withdrawal form with the
Registrar. A course may be dropped with a notation of "W" (withdrew) during the first five
weeks of the semester. For courses dropped in the sixth through the eighth week, the
notation is "WP" (withdrew passing) or "WF' (withdrew failing), depending on one's per-
formance at the time of withdrawal. After the eighth week, the notation is "WF."

A decision to cease attending classes does not constitute withdrawal from a course.
Withdrawal is official on the day the form, properly signed, is filed with the Registrar.

Academic Procedures and Regulations

Class Schedule

Classes are scheduled Monday through Friday in Monday-Wednesday-Friday and
Tuesday-Thursday formats. Some courses meet one evening each week. Many courses in
the natural sciences, and some in other areas, routinely meet four or five times a week
including afternoon laboratories.

Class Attendance

Regular attendance at classes is expected of all students, though each instructor is free
to set whatever attendance requirements for an individual course are deemed suitable.
These requirements are announced at the first meeting of the class and are printed in the
course syllabus.

The College recognizes as legitimate reasons for occasional absence such difficulties as
illness, accident, family grief, or pressing personal responsibility. If absences for these or
other reasons are excessive in terms of the stated attendance policy for the class, the stu-
dent should explain the problem to the instructor, or the instructor may initiate such a
discussion. If excessive absences persist, the student may be dropped from the course
with a grade of "F." Such action is at the instructor's discretion, following consultation
with the Associate Dean, but it is neither mandatory nor automatic.

Occasionally students who represent the College in off-campus activities find it neces-
sary to miss classes. These absences are officially excused. The number of such absences,
however, may not exceed five meetings of a class.

Student Classification

Students are classified as full-time or part-time, as degree candidates or special stu-
dents, and according to class standing.

Students registered for a minimum of 12 hours a semester are classified as full-time.
Those registered for fewer than 12 credit hours are classified as part-time.

Degree candidates are those recognized by the College as pursuing studies leading to a
baccalaureate degree at Maryville College. Special students are not recognized as degree
candidates, though they do receive full credit for academic work completed with passing
grades. The status of special student may be chosen by any student who does not plan to
apply for a Maryville degree, or it may result from action of the College if the academic
record does not warrant degree candidacy.

Class standing is determined by the number of credit hours earned and the quality of
work done, as reflected in the cumulative grade point average. The minimum require-
ments for class standings above the freshman level are as follows:

For sophomore standing, 29 credit hours with a grade point average of 1.65.

For junior standing, 59 credit hours with a grade point average of 1.85.

For senior standing, 94 credit hours with a grade point average of 1.95.

*Grading system effective fall semester, 1990.

Students are graded by this system in all required general education courses, most
electives, and all courses taken to meet major requirements (with the possible exception
of Senior Thesis 351-352 noted below).

In some situations grades of "S" (Satisfactory) and "U" (Unsatisfactory) are used. The
"S" grade is understood to be the equivalent of at least a "C." Most experiential education
courses and all internships and practica are graded on this basis. At the student's option,
one elective course each year may be graded "S" or "U." The student may also choose to
take Senior Thesis 351-352 under this system. A decision to take a course on an "S/U"
basis must be made during the first week of the semester, and the decision filed in the
Registrar's Office. Such a decision is final and may not be reversed.

In the following exceptional circumstances these grades are given:

I — Incomplete

Given as a temporary grade when a course cannot
be completed due to reasons beyond the student's
control; becomes an "F' unless the work is carried
to completion by the end of the next semester.

Academic Procedures and Regulations

W — Withdrew

Given when a course is dropped during the first

five weeks of a semester; does not affect grade

point average.
WP — Withdrew Passing

Given when a course is dropped in the sixth

through eighth week while the student is doing

satisfactory work; does not affect grade point

average.
WF — Withdrew Failing

Given when a course is dropped after the eighth

week, or in the sixth through eighth week while

the student is doing unsatisfactory work; affects

the grade point average as would an "F."

Grade Point Average

The grade point average (GPA) for a semester is computed by dividing the total num-
ber of quality points earned by the credit hours attempted during the semester. The
cumulative GPA is based on all quality points earned and credit hours attempted at
Maryville College (except that a repeated course is counted only once). Courses completed
satisfactorily at other institutions may count toward graduation requirements, but they
are not counted in computing the GPA.

The credit hours for Math 105 and College Reading Strategies do not count in the min-
imum needed for graduation and are not included in the GPA. For those students who
take Math 105 or College Reading Strategies, an institutional grade point average (IGPA)
which includes the quality points and the hours attempted for these courses is computed.
The IGPA is used to evaluate academic progress for retention and to determine class
standing.

Notification of Grades

Students are notified by mail of grades earned as soon as possible after the end of each
semester. The grades become part of the student's permanent academic record on file in
the Registrar's office. In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
grades are not sent to parents or guardians unless (a) the student requests that this be
done, or (b) the parent or guardian makes such a request, certifying that the student is
dependent as defined by the Internal Revenue Service. Such requests must be written
and filed with the Registrar.

Six Week Progress Reports

During the sixth week of the semester, faculty members submit a six week progress
report for each student who is having academic difficulty in a particular class. The report
is sent to the student's faculty adviser and the Office of Student Development. These

Academic Procedures and Regulations

grades are used to inform and counsel the student and are not recorded on the student's
official transcript.

The Dean's List

The Dean's List is composed of those students whose academic performance was dis-
tinguished in the previous semester. To qualify, a grade point average of at least 3.25 in
all work undertaken must be earned, with no grade below "C." Only full-time students
are considered.

Graduation Honors

To qualify for graduation with honors, a student must have completed at least 64
credit hours at Maryville College. The cumulative grade point average determines the
level of honors. The three levels of honors and the minimum grade point averages
required are:

Summa cum laude: 3.95
Magna cum laude: 3.75
Cum laude: 3.40

Academic Standing

It is the responsibility of the individual student to maintain good academic standing
and to make normal progress toward a degree. The record of each student is regularly
reviewed by the Registrar. Any student whose cumulative grade point average falls below
2.0 is placed on academic probation. To continue enrollment in probationary status, the
student must show steady improvement in academic performance.

At the end of the academic year careful consideration is given to the record of each pro-
bationary student. If the student falls below minimum standards for credit hours and
cumulative grade point average, he or she is not considered to be making normal progress
toward a degree. (Exceptions are made for those students with verified handicaps and
those for whom English is a second language). The student is then subject to suspension
from the College, or to a change from degree candidacy to special student status. These
minimum standards are described in the Student Handbook.

A student suspended from the College may apply for readmission after a period of sat-
isfactory academic work at another institution or other successful work experience. The
period of suspension is usually a calendar year, but it may be shorter if circumstances
warrant. A student placed in special student status by action of the College may continue
enrollment and, when the cumulative GPA is raised to 2.0, petition for readmission to
degree candidacy.

A decision to suspend may be appealed to the College's Committee on Academic
Standing. In such an appeal, the obligation rests with the student to explain the special
considerations that support continued enrollment.

Academic Procedures and Regulations

Conferral of Degrees

Degrees are formally conferred at the Commencement exercises held annually at the
close of the spring semester. Though requirements may be completed at other times dur-
ing the year, degrees are officially awarded only at those exercises.

Students who do not complete all requirements by the close of the Spring Semester
may participate in the Commencement exercises if they expect to complete the require-
ments by the end of the summer, have only student teaching, a Senior Recital, Art
Exhibit, or an approved internship to complete in the fall (Senior Thesis 352 is occasion-
ally attached to student teaching or an internship), and have not more than two "incom-
plete" grades for the Spring Semester. Any student who does not complete the degree
requirements according to these criteria may choose to participate in the Commencement
exercises at the close of the next academic year.

Credit by Examination

Proficiency Exams are permitted in lieu of Maryville College coursework in special
circumstances. Maryville College faculty prepare examinations covering the content of a
specific catalog course. There is an examination fee, and permission of the division chair
is required. Proficiency exams are not given for experiential learning courses, intern-
ships, practica, physical education activities courses, studio art, applied music or the Life
Enrichment Program.

The American College Testing Program Proficiency Examinations are offered

in many areas. Information on these examinations is available in the Registrar's Office
and in the Office of Continuing Education. College credit is available when a score of 45
is attained.

The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) offers examinations in the
areas listed below. If a student's score is equal to the CLEP mean scaled score for a grade
of "C", credit may be granted. Except as noted below, three credit hours are granted for
all examinations, regardless of the recommendations in CLEP publications.

Specialized Programs of Instruction

On the following pages the College's major and minor programs are described, along
with the individual courses that are a part of each program. Only courses regularly
offered are listed. Experiential education courses offered during the January term are
listed annually in a special booklet rather than in this catalog.

Courses numbered 101-199 are primarily for freshmen, 201-299 for sophomores, and
300-399 for juniors and seniors. A few courses, numbered 401 and higher, are intended for
seniors only. Close attention should be given to the prerequisites listed for courses above
the 100 level.

Many courses are given in alternate years. The College reserves the right to withdraw
or reschedule any course when the number of qualified enrollees is insufficient or when a
qualified faculty member is unavailable in a given semester. If there is sufficient demand
for additional courses, they may be offered. A detailed Schedule of Courses booklet is pub-
lished annually.

Special Requirements

Placement Testing

Entering freshmen, along with many transfer students, take several placement exami-
nations. Exams in reading and mathematics may indicate the need for required remedial
work in the Mathematics 105 or Reading 101 course. These courses prepare the student
for college-level work and offer three Institutional Credits for satisfactory completion; the
credits do not count toward the minimum needed for graduation. Exams in English and
foreign language offer the possibility of placement in advanced courses.

In coursework and personal relations each student is steadily encouraged to develop
the capacity to communicate effectively in written and spoken English. That capacity
must also be demonstrated through satisfactory performance on an English proficiency
examination, required of every student. The examination consists of an essay on a topic
chosen from a group of topics of current interest. The essay is evaluated by two or more
members of the English staff, who consider its organization, grammatical correctness,
clarity, and overall quality.

The examination is given early in the fall semester. Students who have passed English
115 will be notified of the fall examination date by the Registrar's office. Transfer stu-
dents who have passed English 115 or the equivalent must take the examination during
the first semester of enrollment. For those students who transfer to Maryville College in
January, a special sitting of the exam will be scheduled for early in the spring semester.
All students must pass the exam before enrolling in Senior Thesis, the culmination of
work in the major field. Students who fail the examination must attend a workshop
staffed by English faculty, which will meet one night a week for seven weeks during the
fall semester. At the end of the workshop students will be retested. Those passing the
examination at that time may begin their Senior Thesis the following semester.

Experiential Learning

Experiential education complements the traditional academic curriculum with addi-
tional opportunities for exploration and growth. By exposing the student to unfamiliar
tasks and environments, experiential learning encourages mental and emotional adjust-
ments and promotes development of new skills and attitudes.

Students are required to complete 3 units of experiential learning (usually equivalent
to 9 semester hours of credit) for graduation. Requirements for transfer students are pro-
rated and will be determined by the number of semesters taken at Maryville College.
Students are encouraged to begin satisfying these requirements during the freshman and
sophomore years. Only one unit may be taken in the major field of study.

Students may earn one unit of experiential credit through satisfactory completion of
any of the following:

1. A course designed to be experiential and offered during the January Term. These
courses are the principal means of satisfying the requirement.

2. A regular semester course designated as "experiential." Only one experiential unit
may be earned in this way, and these courses are not offered regularly.

3. A choice of individualized experiences such as:

A. An internship, a practicum (minimum three credit hours) or student teaching

B. Three credits in the MC Life Enrichment Program (Portfolio)

C. Three credits of Mountain Challenge

D. A semester of study abroad approved by the College

One experiential unit may be earned in each of the categories, A through D, above in
section 3.

Comprehensive Examination

In the final semester of the senior year every student takes a comprehensive examina-
tion in the major field. The examination is designed to test the breadth and depth of
understanding of the field, and to assess how well material from individual courses has
been integrated.

The nature of the examinations varies from department to department. Some are devel-
oped entirely by the department, while others may consist of a national standardized test
supplemented by locally developed questions. Some exams include an oral component or a
recital. Both general and departmentally specific guidelines for comprehensive exams are
available from all academic division chairs.

The grade received on the comprehensive examination becomes part of the total aca-
demic record, and quality points may be added or subtracted according to performance.
For a grade of "A," 4 quality points are added; for "B," 2 points. A grade of "C" does not
affect the quality point total; for "D," 2 quality points are subtracted. Students with
transfer credit receive a percentage (total hours completed at Maryville College divided
by 128) of the quality points earned according to performance. Students who receive
grades of A, B, C, or D may not repeat the exam; however, a grade of UF' requires a reex-
amination. No more than two reexaminations are permitted, and a passing grade must be
attained within two years of the first attempt.

Senior Thesis

One of the distinctive features of a Maryville education is the Senior Thesis. Every
degree candidate completes such a project in the major field, under the guidance of a fac-
ulty supervisor. The subject is of the student's own choosing and may take the form of lit-
erary or historical investigation, laboratory or field research, an interpretative effort, or
creative activity in art or literature or music. The Senior Thesis requirement allows the
student to exercise initiative, plan and complete a substantial piece of work, and gain the
confidence and pride that comes from accomplishment. A student must have completed 70
hours including 12 hours of upper division courses in the major and must have passed the
English Proficiency Examination before beginning the Senior Thesis.

The Bachelor of Arts Degree

The Bachelor of Arts degree embodies the conviction that liberal learning is the best
preparation for a satisfying and successful life, whatever one's vocation. The degree
allows students to prepare for a variety of careers and professions, but it emphasizes the
cultivation of those intellectual and personal qualities that mark the educated person.
Through the enhancement of skills and knowledge, the deepening of sensitivities, and the
clarification of personal purpose, students learn to deal responsibly with a world of uncer-
tainty and accelerating change

The curriculum provides opportunity for study over a broad range of subjects as well
as more intensive work in a field of special interest. Each student's program of study
includes three components: general education courses, major and major-related courses,
and electives.

The general education component includes a few specifically required courses, but in
most areas choices may be made among several options. Some individual requirements in
general education are waived by virtue of the student's major; others may be met by
demonstration of competence.

Major and major-related courses enable the student to gain familiarity with research
methods and a body of detailed knowledge. More important, perhaps, they help the stu-
dent understand what it means to know something well.

Electives are any courses taken beyond the general education and major or major-
related requirements.

General Education

Each student must satisfy the course requirement specified below. The general educa-
tion component of the B.A. degree typically consists of 49 credit hours. Students may sat-
isfy the requirements by passing the course, or by demonstrating competence and
knowledge through special examination, or by meeting the condition specified for a
waiver. Most of the courses are designed for the purposes of general education and are
part of no major program.

The Major in Economics is appropriate for the student interested in the functioning of
the economic system and in economic policy. For most positions in the business world,
students who major in economics are competitive with those who major in business. For
situations with strong theoretical emphasis, the major in economics provides an impor-
tant advantage. The economics major also provides a basis for graduate study in manage-
ment, business, finance, law, and a variety of other fields.

Teacher Education Professional Courses

Teacher education at Maryville College is an interdepartmental function, the responsi-
bility of the College as a whole rather than a single department. The program of prepara-
tion combines broad study in the liberal arts, specialized courses in a major field of study,
and a professional education component. For students who plan to teach in the elemen-
tary grades, Maryville College offers a program designed to prepare students for licen-
sure for grades K- 8, with a K-4 specialty area. These students complete the major in
Child Development and Learning offered through the Division of Behavioral Sciences and
Human Services. Those interested in teaching at the secondary level (grades 7-12) com-
plete the appropriate major in the area in which they plan to teach.

The following licensure areas are available: Biology, Chemistry, Economics/History
English History/Economics, History/Political Science, Mathematics, Political Science/
History, Spanish. Music (vocal or instrumental), Art and Physical Education are available
as K-12 licensure programs.

Additional professional courses designed to prepare students to meet licensure stan-
dards must also be taken. These are listed below.

SECONDARY LICENSURE: PER 236, Psychology 218 and 334, Education 301, 321,
343 (two credits), 399 (may be combined with Senior Thesis 352), and 401. Art and music
education majors take two additional hours of practicum credit.

ELEMENTARY LICENSURE: Education 301, 307, 320, 321, 322, 399 (may be com-
bined with Senior Thesis 352), and 401.

Careful planning of one's course of study is necessary to insure that all general, major,
and professional teacher licensure requirements are met within the framework of four
years It is particularly important to complete Psychology 101, Introductory Psychology,
in the freshman year. Students should meet with the adviser for teacher licensure in
their major area as soon as possible.

Admission to Teacher Education is not automatic and occurs only after certain qualifi-
cations are met. A minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2,5 is required in
addition to a minimum score on certain standardized tests. The Level I screening process
is fully explained at a screening meeting held in October and February each year. It
includes, in addition to the GPA and standardized test requirements, a writing sample
from the candidate, satisfactory recommendations from faculty and others, a speech and
hearing screening, and an interview with the Screening Committee. Admission to Teacher
Education is considered conditional until Level II of the process is completed the semes-
ter prior to student teaching. No courses with an Education prefix may be taken unless a
student has been accepted into the Teacher Education program through the Level I
screening process.

Environmental Science

Students planning careers in Environmental Science should major in either biology or
chemistry and develop a course selection carefully designed to assist in meeting career
goals. A minor in chemistry or biology, as appropriate for the major, is also recommended.
Because Environmental Science is an applied field, students are strongly encouraged to
include in their programs an internship or practicum at one of the institutions with which
Maryville College maintains a research arrangement. Major requirements and course list-
ings may be found under Biology and Chemistry in this catalog. Students are also encour-
aged to examine the very differently focused major in environmental studies, a field based
more in the social sciences and serving a variety of careers related to the environment.

work in the social and natural sciences. The major provides an excellent background for
work in areas such as global, national and local resource management; international and
national population control; international banking policy and implementation; public pol-
icy roles at all levels in city planning, waste management, and related areas; advertising:
education. Environmentally related careers are available as writers, editors, managers,
lawyers, and public relations experts.

History

Professors Lewis and McNiell, Assistant Professor Livingstone

History is a discipline concerned with the variety of humankind and with social and
cultural change over time. The study of the past offers liberation from confined thinking
that cannot see beyond the present, and it helps the student achieve the deeper perspec-
tive essential to personal and intellectual growth. The department offers a major that
serves as preparation for those considering careers in law, journalism, the ministry,
teaching, business, and library or public service.

THE MAJOR IN HISTORY consists of 45 hours, including 36 in history and 9 in
related fields. Courses required in history are 111, 112, 209, 211, 212, 221, and 351-352.

International Studies

Professor Kim, Coordinator

THE INTERNATIONAL STUDIES MAJOR combines work in several related disci-
plines with language study and a period of time overseas. The major consists of 45 credit
hours divided into two sequences of courses. All students take the first sequence which
includes the following courses: Political Science 212, Sociology 211, Social Science 303,
Economics 201, International Studies 351-352, and one course chosen from Religion 212,
History 221, or English 344. All students must also complete two years of a foreign lan-
guage (one year beyond the general education requirement) or demonstrate sufficient for-
eign language proficiency. The second sequence of required courses includes Sociology
101, Economics 221, Political Science 211; six credit hours chosen from History 344 or
346, Spanish 349, Music 311, Art 316, Religion 348, or appropriate humanities or fine
arts courses offered at an approved overseas institution; three credit hours chosen from
Political Science 311 or 312, Economics 325, Sociology 325, or an appropriate social sci-
ence course offered at an approved overseas institution.

Each student will undertake a period of study of at least six weeks at one of the follow-
ing: Kansai University in Japan, Han Nam University or Yonsei University in Korea, the
Northeast Wales Institute at Wrexham, Inter-American University in Puerto Rico, an
institution with which Maryville College has student exchange agreements, or another
approved college. When English is a second language for the student, he/she is exempt
from the foreign language and foreign study requirements. Courses taken during foreign
study can substitute for major requirements with the permission of the international
studies coordinator.

Students majoring in international studies should plan carefully to allow for the
required period of study abroad. Study abroad requires careful scheduling of on-campus

Professors Bonham, D. Taddie, Assistant Professor Smithee, Mr. Bolt, Mr. Burell, Ms.
Clifford, Ms. Goode, Mr. Robinson, Ms. A. Taddie, Mr. Tucker

The Goals of the Maryville College Music Department are:

1. To serve the aspiring professional musician through curricular programs for music
majors (B.A., B.Mus. in Performance and Music Education);

2. To serve the general student through introductory course work in the fine arts,
through elective study of applied music, through elective participation in ensem-
bles, and through elective completion of a music minor;

3. To serve the larger community through concerts and tours, through the opening of
some ensembles to community participation, and through the sharing of faculty
expertise.

Auditions and Admission to Music Curricula

All students intending to pursue a major or minor in music, participate in an ensem-
ble, or study applied music must complete the Music Placement Hearings during Fall
Orientation prior to beginning study. Each student will then be counselled into the appro-
priate courses.

All music majors must demonstrate proficiency in basic keyboard skills. Those who
lack this preparation upon entering must take Keyboard Fundamentals every term until
the proficiency test is passed.

Admission to a particular curriculum as a music major is conferred by the music fac-
ulty after the completion of Music 102 or, in the case of students with advanced standing,

133

after one semester of study at Maryville College. Contact the Chair of the Division of Fine
Arts for details.

THE BACHELOR OF MUSIC is a professional degree, intended for students who
plan to pursue a career in some aspect of music. It differs from the Bachelor of Arts
degree in its general education core requirements and the extent of specialization. As a
professional degree, it affords more extensive study in the major field. The College offers
major programs in performance and music education.

The Bachelor of Science in Health Care

Dual Degrees with the B.S. in Nursing or the M.S. in Nursing

Assistant Professor Craig, Coordinator

The Bachelor of Science in Health Care is a degree awarded by Maryville College to
students who complete one of two available dual-degree programs in nursing. These pro-
grams are offered in cooperation with Vanderbilt University and the University of
Tennessee, Knoxville.

The curriculum includes three principle elements: general education, major-related
subjects, and courses in nursing theory and clinical practice. The general education
courses have as their purpose the development of the intellectual and communications
skills, the breadth of perspective, and the individual attributes necessary for personal
effectiveness and continuing growth. The major-related courses, most of which are in the
natural and social sciences, serve as the foundation for upper-level study in professional
nursing.

The courses in nursing help the student master critical knowledge and clinical skills,
develop essential sensitivities and self-confidence, and understand the evolving role of
the professional nurse in health care systems. Clinical nursing courses are taught at the
University of Tennessee, Knoxville or Vanderbilt University using suitable classroom and
area-wide clinical facilities.

B.S./M.S.N.: Maryville College and
Vanderbilt University, Senior Year in Absentia

The program of study leading to the Bachelor of Science in Health Care from Maryville
College and the Master of Science in Nursing from Vanderbilt University consists of six
semesters (three academic years) at Maryville followed by six semesters (two academic
years and two summers) at Vanderbilt. All general education and major-related courses
and a total of 96 credit hours must be completed by the end of the junior year at
Maryville. During the junior year, the student makes application to Vanderbilt; admis-
sion is determined entirely by Vanderbilt University. Following the fourth year and after
the completion of 128 credit hours, the student receives the B.S. in Health Care from
Maryville College; the M.S.N, is then completed at Vanderbilt.

B.S./B.S.N.: Maryville College and the
University of Tennessee, Knoxville

The program of study leading to the Bachelor of Science in Health Care from Maryville
College and the Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Tennessee consists
of eight semesters, four at Maryville and four at both Maryville College and UT. General
education, major-related, and a few major courses are completed at Maryville, while most
courses in nursing are taken at the University. During the junior and senior years, stu-
dents are enrolled at both institutions.

At the end of fall semester of the sophomore year, students are required to make appli-
cation to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and apply for admission into upper divi-
sion nursing courses. Admission is determined entirely by the University of Tennessee.
Dual-degree students are considered for admission from the pool of applicants. Entrance
is based on GPA and space availability. Students are required to adhere to the policies of
both institutions. Tuition will be paid to Maryville College.

The total curriculum for the B.S./B.S.N., requiring at least 128 credit hours, is tightly
structured and highly sequential. For that reason, clarity of purpose, high motivation,
and thoughtful planning are necessary to normal degree progress. To ensure that courses
are scheduled at the proper time, students are encouraged to consult regularly with the
Director of Nursing Education or another designated adviser.
