Mount St. Mary's College is a small, Catholic, liberal arts college,
primarily for women. We stress these four distinctions, because
they are vital in helping you decide whether we are right for you.
Our size is important. We are small enough for each student to be
an individual who matters. Small enough for us to know your name,
and to call you by it. Small enough for you to be a face, not a number.
Our Catholic heritage matters. It puts you in touch with
questions of substance about the universe, people, God, yourself.
It shapes our values and will affect yours. It will not restrict you. If
you happen not to be Catholic, you will not feel out of place here.
Our liberal arts emphasis gives dimension to life. It will open doors for
your eyes and ears, and for your heart and mind and soul.
Though men are welcome in our departments of nursing and music,
we are a women's college. We nurture the difference
between women and men, even as we prepare you to enjoy and
contribute to and excel in the world of both.
In the next pages, we will try to show you who we are. We have tried
to be as candid as possible. Your life is precious, and we want
you to make as much of this gift as possible. If we
are right for you, and you for us, we can enrich each other.
Welcome to the Mount!
Walking across the campus, you notice first
the friendliness. Whether you're with a student or
a secretary or a Sister, everyone you meet smiles
and speaks. It's a good feeling.
Look into a classroom, and you discover
another mark of the Mount. Classes are small. The
atmosphere is involved, intense, highly personal.
Learning is obviously of paramount importance.
Mount St. Mary's College is unique, even as
you are. We hope our description and photographs
will be helpful to you in determining whether it is
right for you. And vice versa.
The bare facts.
Mount St. Mary's was founded in 1925 by the
Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet. The school was
dedicated to educating women within a Catholic,
liberal arts tradition. Though many things about
"When I started at Doheny last fall, my goal was to get my
A. A. degree and become a legal secretary. The school helped me
get a job in a law firm. This was good experience, mainly
because it made me realize I wouldn't be all that happy as a legal
secretary. I took the Career Planning class, and now I'm going
to work for my bachelor's in Business at Chalon, and go into
advertising. Dr. Sawchuk really helped me -she's a fantastic
person." Lynne Broderick, 1979, A. A., Business.
"I feel I'm ready to leave. I
think the Mount has given
me enough background to go
out and make my own life.
One thing I've really learned
here is you can do what you
want to do. You just figure
it out and you put your mind
to it, and you can do things
the way you want to do them
as long as they're not
completely and utterly crazy."
AnneZachary, 1978, B.S.,
Nursing.
"When we came here as fresh-
men, we rushed down to
Bullock's to buy matching
bedspreads, and we couldn't
wait to get them. We kept
checking with Receiving. One
day, we went down and ex-
plained to the Sister who was
there that we'd been expecting
this package for days. She said
she'd certainly look into it. A
few hours later, she delivered
it to our room.K It turned out
she was the college President,
and she'd just happened to be
in Receiving that afternoon!"
Katina Zaninovich, 1978, B.S.,
Nursing.
the college have changed since 1925, our reason for
existence has not.
On the Chalon Campus in Brentwood, we
offer four-year courses of study leading to the
degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science,
Bachelor of Fine Arts, and Bachelor of Music.
At our Doheny Campus, in the heart of
downtown Los Angeles, we offer two-year
Associate Degree programs, as well as Community
Outreach activities which involve students in social
action and fieldwork, both on-campus and off.
Also at Doheny, men and women may earn
graduate degrees and advanced teaching
credentials.
A very personal place.
To say that Mount St. Mary's is a personal
college is an understatement. With some 250
undergraduate students at Doheny, and
approximately 650 at Chalon, it's easy to
understand why life is on a first- name basis.
With one faculty member for each 11
students, you will benefit from far greater personal
concern for your academic performance than you
would find at larger colleges.
This smaller size also allows greater
opportunities for you to express your talents and
develop leadership.
You will find many opportunities to know
your professors outside the classroom. You will be
invited to their homes for discussion and dessert
after lectures or programs, for honor society
initiations, and for departmental parties.
You may also work with faculty members on
special projects, including research, Model United
Nations, chamber music concerts, and
organizations such as Athenaeum. These
experiences can be among the finest educational
advantages available to you at Mount St. Mary's.
A diverse student body.
You will learn, too, from your fellow
students. They come from many states, including
Alaska and Hawaii. Approximately 11 percent are
from other lands, such as Japan, Hong Kong,
Central and South America, India, and Africa.
About one-half are Catholic, with all the
other major faiths represented in the other half.
Blacks, Orientals, Spanish- Americans, and
American Indians make up over one-fourth of our
"My sister attended Mount St. Mary's and I decided to come
here, too. Being from Africa, I like the small size of the school,
and the friendliness. I don't think I'd have done as well
anywhere else. I have a scholarship for graduate work at Notre
Dame, and I think I'm ready for that, because of the Mount."
Cecilia Diaz, 1978, B.S., Biochemistry.
rtJ
student body. About ten percent are women
returning to school after an absence of several
years.
The chance to exchange points of view and
make friends with people whose backgrounds are
different from your own will deepen your
understanding of the world and society.
And when you need it, help.
If you face an academic problem, a faculty
advisor is here to discuss it and counsel you.
Personal guidance is available when you feel the
need to talk over an individual dilemma.
Your special questions can be answered by
someone in our Academic Counseling Center
where you will also receive assistance in planning
your schedule and discussing your choice of major.
If you find yourself having trouble with your
classes, you're not unique. We offer group sessions
with suggestions on time management, reading,
note taking, and preparing for exams. Individual
counseling is also available.
"After getting my degree from Doheny, I transferred to Chalon,
where I'm working for my bachelor's in Business. On both
campuses, classes are really small, so you get lots of attention.
But they don't smother you and they don't baby you."
Bernadette Gonzaque, 1977, A. A., Business, now at Chalon.
"After about two-and-a-half
years in Nursing, I decided I
wanted to change to
American Studies. My
department chairman and
teachers helped me design my
major and they worked with
me so I could apply as many
of my credits as possible. A
larger school couldn't
possibly be that flexible. I
really appreciate their
counseling." Mary Anne

Campus Ministry offers spiritual counseling,
retreats, liturgical celebrations, interfaith
discussions, prayer groups, and social action. A
full-time chaplain and campus minister together
staff the Campus Ministry Office.
Should you become ill, medical services are
available at both campuses. Emphasis is placed on
preventive medicine.
A strong academic program.
Mount St. Mary's College offers 29 majors
and four different baccalaureate degrees at Chalon.
The two-year Associate in Arts degree from the
Doheny Campus may be earned with seven
specializations. These are all described in detail, in
succeeding pages.
Our college has a proud tradition of academic
excellence, a tradition we guard jealously. We
choose our faculty members carefully, and support
them with encouragement and the best of physical
facilities.
But far more important than their academic
credentials, they are enthusiastic, sympathetic, and
dedicated men and women, whose primary
commitment is to teaching.
Plan your own major.
Because of your special interests, you may
wish to combine one or more areas of study. Our
individualized major allows you to design your
own course of study, with the supervision of a
faculty committee. For example, if you are
interested in public relations, you may wish to
build a program combining classes in journalism
and writing, business, psychology, and sociology.
Or perhaps you would like to investigate a
special topic in depth. You may draw up a proposal
for independent study, with the help of a faculty
sponsor. When approved, you study on your own,
reporting at intervals to the faculty member for
guidance.
The rewards of leadership.
Everyone talks about how important
leadership is. Our Leadership Program specifically
develops and rewards this attribute.
"I was editor of the college paper last year, and we raised some
questions about the way some students were being treated.
Finally, the administration met and decided to hold an open
forum. The President and the Dean and a lot of the staff were
there. We got answers and things that couldn't be answered
were looked into. Nothing got swept under the rug. I don't
think this could have happened in most schools." Valerie
Holcomb, 1979, B.A., English.
"I had heard about the Mount through a friend of my parents. I
decided to come here basically because of the size - J like a
smaller school -and the people I met here the first time I .
visited. They were really outgoing. There's a lot of support here
for you." Chris Potvin, 1978, B.A., English.
If you have held responsible positions in
your school, community, or church, you may be
eligible. If you are chosen for the program, you
may also apply for a scholarship ranging from $50
to full tuition.
Leadership students take part in programs to
nurture their special skills through study and
practice. As a member of the program, you will
attend workshops on how to delegate
responsibility, how to motivate groups of people,
how to provide constructive criticism and support.
You will have the opportunity of working with
successful women leaders on and off campus.
This program can prove invaluable in
preparing you for a satisfying and successful role in
your community, your career, and in your home.

for the award, contact the Admissions Office.

Four years after the Sisters of St. Joseph of
Carondelet established Mount St. Mary's, the
college moved to 56 acres in what was then a
remote location in the Santa Monica Mountains,
high above the distant outskirts of Los Angeles.
The campus borrowed its name from Chalon Road,
which winds up to it via Bundy Drive from Sunset
Boulevard.
In 1962, a second campus became part of the
college. This is the Doheny Campus, 15 acres on
the former estate of oil millionaire Edward L. and
Countess Estelle Doheny, very near the heart of
the Los Angeles Civic Center.
Vastly different in architectural character, the
two campuses share many qualities. Both offer a
great degree of tranquility, especially conducive to
learning. Yet both are just a few minutes away
from all the urban amenities of one of the world's
most exciting cities.
Chalon: On a clear day . . .
If not forever, you can certainly see one of
the most spectacular views in Southern California.
The Pacific stretches to infinity. The Santa Monica
Mountains, guarding the campus, remind you that
we share this world with deer and hawks and
coyotes. Below, UCLA, Century City, and the busy
freeways reassure you that all the fascinations and
frustrations of the 20th Century are waiting.
The architecture is Spanish, white masonry
with red tile roofs, graceful arches, timeless serenity.
The Campus Circle, an island of flowers, is the hub
from which all Chalon buildings
radiate: the chapel,
the classroom building, dormitories, administration
building, Coe Library, and the new Jose Drudis-
Biada Art Building. Behind the residence hall,
tennis courts and an Olympic-sized pool offer
welcome respite from classes.
Doheny: One step back . . .
The Doheny Campus, within minutes of the
Music Center, Chinatown, Olvera Street, USC, and
the Museum of Natural History, takes you back to
the elegance of the 1890s. But its academic eyes
are firmly fixed on the 21st Century.
A private residential development for
decades, Chester Place lies between Adams
Boulevard on the south and 23rd Street on the
north. The Doheny mansion dominates the street,
just as its owners once dominated its social life.
Today, this house remains much as
Countess Doheny left it, with stained glass
windows, marble floors and columns and mantels,
and the great Tiffany- domed Pompeian Room.
Yet change has come to Chester Place. Classrooms
occupy the mansions. The chalet serves as a
library. A gracious old home listens as students
practice their music and rehearse their nursing
skills. In gardens where a USC Chancellor once
strolled, neighborhood children swing and play in
the sand and learn the wonders of
nature from a pet rabbit.

Students publish a yearbook and a school

offers a fascinating exhibition of superb paintings,
sculpture, weaving, ceramics, or serigraphs.
Studio in the new Jose Drudis-Biada Hall at Chalon is an
inspiration for artists, with its perfect light, great space, and
excellent technical facilities. Building also contains spacious
galleries, offices, and well-equipped classrooms.

This governing body runs the Fine Arts
Festival, the Fleur de Lis and Graduation Balls, Red

such worthy charities as Los Nirios Orphanage.
They also arrange special group tours — ski trips,
back-packing expeditions, and weekend excursions
to nearby attractions.
The small size of the college makes it entirely
feasible for you to find a role in this student
government, if you are interested. In fact, one
priority of Mount St. Mary's College is to
encourage the development of leadership qualities
through organizations of this type.
Social, professional, and service groups.
You may wish to join professional

beginning of each term, you may sign up for sports
such as gymnastics and softball. With enough
interest, sailing, horseback riding, and scuba

And as you can see, the proximity of our
campuses to UCLA and USC results in other
pursuits.

compact rooms, with built-in desks and
bookshelves. Each accommodates about 150
residents, with both single and double rooms.
Basic furnishings are provided, but you may
furnish and decorate your room as you wish.
Each floor of these dorms has a lounge,
which is the center of activities. Students gather
here for monthly meetings to thrash out problems,
elect representatives to Residence Council, and
plan events. Many floors hold monthly parties.

Doheny has on-campus rooms in one house,
which its 27 occupants call "the Castle." The red
stone Victorian building is distinguished by its
three-story tower and a wide veranda that curves
around the entire house. As on Chalon, social life
here is informal and easy-going.
After you are accepted by the college,
residence request forms are sent to you. Early
application is advisable, because rooms are filled
on a first-come, first-served basis.
About half the students at Chalon, and 90
percent at Doheny commute. Commuter student
needs are given careful consideration at both
campuses. The college also provides a service to
match commuters from the same area who want to

Sister Magdalen Coughlin
President, Mount St. Mary's College
From our President.
Few times have been more exciting, more
challenging to a young woman than today. Your
opportunities for influencing the world you live in
are almost without limit.
But that opportunity carries responsibility,
and your responsibility right now is to fulfill your
own potential. This is where the right college can
make a difference.
For over half a century Mount St. Mary's
College has been making a difference in the lives of
our students. This difference flows from what the
Mount is — a Catholic, liberal arts college,
primarily for women. The Catholic tradition
provides a value orientation for one's personal and
professional life as well as a motivation for a
Christian commitment that views professional life
as service.
We emphasize liberal arts because we believe
that education should greatly enrich your own life
and every life that touches yours. We believe
fiercely in the promise of the individual student
and in her responsibility to improve her own time,
that each individual can gain a knowledge of truth,
can recognize and create beauty, and can be a vital
agent of love and, therefore, justice in her time.
Finally, we offer an environment in which
you can learn to be a leader. At a time in history
when women are finding more opportunities than
ever before to shape events, we believe it is
imperative that the art of leadership be developed.
Mount St. Mary's College will encourage you, will
guide you, and will give you the opportunities and
the setting in which you can develop your potential
to its greatest, and then we will urge you to make a
difference in whatever milieu becomes yours. We
believe you will graduate from the college a better
person, a happier person, and a more productive
person.

Associate in Arts Degree Programs:
Doheny Campus
Associate Degree programs, conducted on
the Doheny Campus, prepare you for immediate
entry into a career, or for transfer to a baccalaureate
degree program.
If your interest lies in earning a bachelor's
degree, the transfer program is ideal.
Degrees are offered in Art, Business,
Nursing, Pre-School Teaching, and Liberal Arts, as
well as in Respiratory Therapy and Physical
Therapy Assistant.
Art — Doheny
This program provides basic preparation for a
beginning career in commercial art, or for
transferring to a B.A. or B.F.A. program. Small
classes, taught by practicing artists, develop a
comprehension of basic design. Students
particularly enjoy the converted carriage house
which serves as a working studio.
Special Experience classes, tailored to your
career goals, combine field work with studio
projects to provide practical experience.
"I try to give assignments
that students can deal with
personally, so they can get
involved conceptually . I
encourage them to draw
upon their own backgrounds
to come up with solutions for
class problems. We hope they
come away from their courses
in art knowing that there's
more to art than
craftsmanship. There are
ideas." Jake Gilson,
Assistant Professor of Art.

Business — Doheny
The combination of practical secretarial skills
with business management fundamentals prepares
you for immediate employment as an executive,
legal, or medical secretary, or administrative
assistant. In addition, classes in history, literature,
and psychology will enrich your entire life.
As a background for further development,
you'll take courses in business management,
business law, and mathematics for business. In
your sophomore year, you'll serve an internship in
a business firm, law
office, or health care
facility, to bridge the
gap between class-
room and office. This
often leads to
permanent employ-
ment.
Sister Marie Loyola Sanders,
CSJ, Assistant Professor of
Business, planned,
organized, and administers the A. A. Business program, and
designs from 20 to 25 semester-long internships for
Doheny students.
Liberal Arts — Doheny
If you are undecided on career goals, or if
you wish a career that combines many
specializations, this program may be ideal. Your
advisor will help you design your own program to
meet the general requirements for an Associate in
Arts Degree.
In this way, you may explore a variety of
fields, or select courses to develop the special skills
you need. As you do, you may wish to work with
the Office of Career Planning counselors.
Nursing — Doheny
This program combines clinical nursing
courses with classes in psychology, sociology, and
religious studies, to develop both technical skills
and human understanding. The content of classes
is based upon the Roy Adaptation Level Theory of
Nursing, which stresses respect for the patient as a
human being.
At the program's completion, you will be
granted an Associate in Arts Degree, and be
eligible to take the California State Board
examination for a registered nurse (RN) license. If
you are an LVN and have taken required
prerequisite classes, you may wish to inquire about
challenging the first-year clinical courses.
Respiratory Therapy — Doheny
Whenever breathing is impaired, the
Respiratory Therapist, for which this program
prepares you, helps doctors restore normal heart
and lung functions. The human services core of
this program helps you deal with the fears of
patients confronted by strange equipment. Clinical
classes develop required technical skills, and allow
you to apply your skills in a health care facility.
Your two years will prepare you for the year of
practice required before taking the exam to become
a Registered Respiratory Therapist.
Or you may transfer to Chalon to earn a
bachelor's degree in a related field. For example, a
major in Health Services Administration within the
Business Department could develop the abilities
needed to become administrator of the Respiratory
Therapy service in a hospital.
Physical Therapy Assistant — Doheny
Under the direction of a Registered Physical
Therapist, the Physical Therapy Assistant helps
people with disabilities caused by age, accident,
illness, or birth defects.
Special courses and actual experience in a
clinical setting will help you develop both the
professional skills and the understanding needed
to work constructively with patients and other
medical specialists. Upon graduation, you will be
qualified to work in hospitals and nursing homes,
or to continue at Chalon to become a Registered
Physical Therapist with a baccalaureate degree.
Pre-School Teaching — Doheny
This program will enable you to teach in a
private nursery school, in Head Start programs, in
Los Angeles County Unified School District
Children Centers, or in a family day-care home.
Throughout the program, classroom learning
is integrated with experience in the Child
Development Center on campus. Even before your
semester of supervised teaching, you'll work with
three- and four-year olds. You may choose the
bilingual program, with its four semesters of
Spanish, or a special program concentrating on the
needs of handicapped children. These choices
widen employment opportunities in Southern
California.
"From their very first course, our Education students at
Doheny gain first-hand experience with three- and
four-year-old children. We have about 50 youngsters from the
neighborhood in our Child Care Center. Working and observing
and interacting with them complements the theory our students
learn in class. It's a rare opportunity."
Sister Imelda D'Agostino, CSJ, Instructor in Education.
Bachelor Degree Programs :

chemistry, mathematics analysis, and physics. In
your junior and senior years, you study genetics,
cellular physiology, qualitative organic analysis,
and advanced biochemistry. You will have the
chance to do independent, original research, an
opportunity rarely offered to undergraduates.
Marie Zeuthen, Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences, is a
Mount St. Mary's graduate, and has been on the faculty for
over 15 years. Her expertise in Medical Technology is
particularly helpful in arranging student placements and
hospital internships for students in this field.
Biological Sciences — Chalon
This major allows you to examine the
behavior of living cells, organs, and systems, and
learn how to modify or control their function. You
explore their origins and development, and
investigate their interaction with other living
things.
These studies will prepare you for careers in
environmental control, medical or dental schools,
teaching, pharmaceutical companies, medical
technology, research or graduate school.
Business — Chalon
You may specialize here in one of the two
fastest-growing fields in private industry:
management and accounting. In Business
Administration, you'll study various types of
companies and the functions they perform:
advertising, public relations, personnel
management, and marketing. In Accounting, you
will learn to solve the various problems
accountants handle, regardless of the size of the
firm.
In both programs, you'll have the
opportunity as a senior to do an internship with
the type of organization that interests you.
Chemistry — Chalon
This major provides you with a
comprehension of the principles of chemistry,
opening the doors to careers in the chemical
industry and allied fields of food, petroleum, and
textiles. Women chemists work as laboratory and
research assistants, technical writers, research
librarians, and chemical analysts. Or you may go
on to a career in health or education, industrial
management, or patent law.
You may earn either a B.A. or a B.S. in
Chemistry. If you plan on graduate study or
medical school, a B.S. is recommended.
Throughout your study, you'll enjoy small
classes and personalized laboratory instruction.
Child Development — Chalon
A major in Child Development prepares you
to help pre-school and primary school children
learn and grow. Graduates work in day care
centers, nursery schools, and community agencies,
or go on to advanced study in social work or
psychology. The program is interdisciplinary,
giving you a broad understanding of the needs,
abilities, and emotional responses of the small
child. As an area of special emphasis, you will
choose consumer studies, psychology, or
sociology.
You will be encouraged to take classes to
expand your own creativity, and will spend time
working with young children for first-hand
experience.
Consumer Studies — Chalon
This major helps you become a more careful
consumer, better able to conserve your resources in
the marketplace and at home. It offers a number of
career options. You may enter consumer relations
in business, government, or specialize in consumer
journalism, with a Consumer Affairs emphasis. For
retailing, advertising, journalism, and public
relations, choose Fashion Merchandising. The
Home Economics emphasis, plus the requirements
for the California teaching credential, qualifies you
to teach this subject.
Whatever your choice, you'll have the
opportunity for an internship. In many cases, this
had led to full-time employment.
Dr. F. Roman Young has
been a faculty member and
advisor in the Education
Department since the
mid-1950s. For the ten years
preceding his retirement in
1978, he served as Chairman
of the department. His
philosophy and dedication
have been major factors in
building the department's
reputation in academic
circles.
Education — Chalon
The Diversified major concentrates on
English, natural sciences, social sciences, and the
fine arts to prepare you to teach in elementary
school. It leads to the Preliminary Multiple Subject
Teaching Credential. You will take 18-21 units in
each area. Classes such as Communication and
Mathematics will develop teaching techniques, and
you will also work as a student teacher for one
semester.
The Single Subject Major leads to the
Preliminary California Single Subject Credential for
secondary school teaching. You will complete
requirements for an academic major, plus
education courses, and student teaching.
You may remain a fifth year to earn a Life
Credential.
"Our internship program is unique, because we work with our
students, evaluating their abilities and challenging their
direction. They are given leads which they must pursue, setting
up their own interviews and following through on them. Then
they submit a proposal, establishing their own goals and criteria
for performance. Aftenvard, they evaluate their internship .W 'e
have women in airlines, insurance, banking, personnel, and
department stores. We're not just paying lip service to practical
experience. We're actually making every intelligent effort to help
our students build an economic base from which to pursue their
values." David Leese, Ph.D., Chairman of Business
Department.
English — Chalon
English majors work as journalists, writers,
and reporters for radio and TV, advertising writers,
public relations specialists, editors, and technical
writers. With a double major in Business, you may
enter private industry.
Classes in writing sharpen your technical
competence and develop your personal style. The
study of literature presents a wide variety of
human motivations, while critical analysis of
literary works trains you to organize your
thoughts.
During your senior year, you may take an
internship, applying your skills in writing grant
proposals, raising funds, or working in advertising.
French — Chalon
This major will bring you to proficiency in
speaking, reading, and writing French, the
traditional diplomatic language. French literature
and history will help you understand the nation's
values and philosophy.
The major can lead to careers in translation
and diplomatic services, as well as education, the
travel industry, or with a multi-national company.
Courses cover the language thoroughly, French
literature, theatre, history, and composition.
Gerontology — Chalon
This explores the biological, environmental,
social, and psychological aspects of aging in
American society. It is an increasingly important
area because of today's greater life expectancy.
Classes in the social and behavioral sciences
include General Psychology, Sociological
Perspectives, Developmental Psychology, and
Biology of Aging. You will also take courses such as
Psychology of Development and Aging,
Psychology of Disability and Adjustment,
Sociology of Aging, Art or Music Therapy, Death
and Dying, and Bioethics. Then you will practice
what you've learned by working with the elderly in
a health care facility.
History — Chalon
History provides a good foundation for a
career in law, business, government, or teaching. It
begins with courses in Western Civilization,
American Government, Political Concepts, and
Cultural and Historical Geography. In your junior
and senior years, three classes will be in U.S.
history, three in European history.
As a History major, you may wish to become
a delegate to the Model United Nations. Each
participating school is assigned a country to
represent at the national conference in New York.
After studying the country's politics, society,
economy, and foreign policy, you will speak for
that nation during a simulated session of the U.N.
International Business — Chalon
This major blends courses in international
business management, finance, and leadership
training with the language and culture of the
Western world. Classes and seminars in business
law, personnel, international marketing, and
business management will develop management
skills. You will acquire proficiency in either French
or Spanish, along with a liberal arts base. The
program includes an internship with a government
agency or an international firm, either here or
abroad.
A B.A. in International Business prepares
you for a career with an international firm or in
government service, the travel industry,
advertising, or transportation.
Mathematics — Chalon
Because mathematical theorems and
equations define, clarify, and even predict events
in the physical universe and in our social
environment, a Mathematics major may choose to
be a statistician, actuary, data processor, and with
further training, an engineer, computer
programmer, or systems analyst. Women are in
great demand in these areas.
You'll take Mathematical Analysis I and II as
preparation. Then in your junior and senior years,
you'll take eight advanced courses, including
Topics in Geometry, Advanced Calculus, Real
Analysis, and Modern Algebra.
Medical Technology — Chalon
If you enjoy using your hands and mind
precisely, a career as a medical technologist will
allow you to perform vital tests and interpret their
results. A major in Biological Sciences with a
Medical Technology emphasis prepares you for this
specialty.
Following the Biological Dynamics sequence
of classes in your first two years, you will study
Medical Bacteriology, Immunology, Genetics, and
Cellular Physiology. As a senior, you'll do
independent research. After earning your B.S., you
will serve a one-year internship in a hospital
laboratory to be eligible for the California
examinations to become a licensed Medical
Technologist.
"Our teachers are very available to our music students. One of
our most talented girls had gone to a big Eastern school, and
from there to Paris for a year. When she came to us, she was
very disheartened because she hadn't found the kind of personal
teaching she knew she needed to develop. She's really bloomed
here, because she's gotten lots of attention from teachers who
want to see her make the most of her talent."
Sister Teresita Espinosa, CSJ, Associate Professor of Music.
Music — Chalon
Here you may earn either a Bachelor of Arts
or Bachelor of Music degree. Both programs
combine individual instruction, solo and ensemble
performance with classroom study, discussions,
and lectures, to provide a wide range of musical
learning. For the B.A., two-thirds of your study
must be in the liberal arts, placing music in the
context of one's search for truth and beauty, and
combining music with other interests. The B.M.
prepares you to be a performing artist, conductor,
composer, teacher, church musician, or
musicologist. Two-thirds of your classes will be in
music.
In either program, you may choose an
emphasis in Performance, Music Education, Music
History, or Music Theory. B.M. students may also
focus on Church Music.
Nursing — Chalon
To develop the technical skills, clear
thinking, and compassion for the whole patient,
this program combines a broad education in liberal
arts and sciences with rigorous clinical training,
based on the Roy Adaptation Level Theory of
Nursing.
The first two years are spent on campus in
preprofessional studies, combined with liberal arts,
to deepen your knowledge of man. Both junior and
senior years are devoted primarily to the Nursing
major, with work as a nurse in clinical settings. The
program qualifies you to take the California State
Board examination to become a Registered Nurse.
At graduation, you'll also be qualified for the
Public Health Nursing Certificate, and for graduate
study in surgical, pediatric, and psychiatric
nursing.
The Roy Adaptation Level
Theory of Nursing, which is
now a part of the curriculum
of many schools throughout
this country and Canada,
took its name from Sister
Callista Roy , CSJ ', Chairperson
of the Nursing Department
at Mount St. Mary's College.
She is herself a graduate of
the Mount. "This Theory
emphasizes the patient's
abilities to deal with his own
problems. The nurse
reinforces and strengthens
these abilities, so that, ideally, the patient emerges from his
illness better able to cope."
Philosophy — Chalon
This major trains you to think logically and
be aware of the implications of your statements. It
is excellent preparation for any career requiring
careful analysis of situations, precise expression of
ideas, and a clear grasp of issues. Students
working toward careers in law, business,
government, or religion study Philosophy, often
with a double major in English, Business,
American Studies, or Religious Studies.
The major begins with such courses as Logic:
Structures of Reasoning, Knowledge and Reality,
Values and Human Existence. As a junior and
senior, you'll choose from Metaphysics, Theory of
Knowledge, Contemporary Moral Problems,
Philosophy of Science, Existentialism, Aesthetics,
and History of Philosophy.
Physical Therapy — Chalon
This major trains you in rehabilitation skills
to help people with disabilities make the fullest use
of their physical capacities. The program includes
basic science classes, plus courses to help you
understand the emotional needs of patients. Junior
and senior year classes develop skills in the various
types of therapy to improve patients' physical
functions.
You'll work in a clinical setting, designing
programs with other health care specialists and
learning to supervise assistants. The major
prepares you for the year of practice needed for
taking the exam to become a Certified Registered
Physical Therapist.
Political Science — Chalon
Politics can help you understand how the
government affects you and how you can affect it.
It can lead to a career in public administration,
education, community organizations, business,
and politics.
You will investigate political theory,
institutions, international relations, comparative
politics, and public law as they relate to historical
developments and to today's political world. You
may combine this program with a major in
American Studies, History, or Business. During
your senior year, you will be able to take an
internship in an elected official's office. You may
also serve as a delegate to the Model United
Nations (described under History).
Pre-Law — Chalon
Because government regulations control so
many areas of our lives, the study of law can be
endlessly useful. The legal profession also gives
women access to power in many walks of life.
Law schools require certain courses, but do
not specify a major, so you may choose from a
wide variety of fields. Majors in American Studies,
Business, Consumer Studies, English, History,
Foreign Languages, Philosophy, Politics, Science,
Psychology, Social Science, and Sociology may
apply to law schools. The Pre- Law Program
requires Accounting, Logic: Structures of Reasoning,
and Symbolic Logic.
Pre-Medical, Pre-Dental — Chalon
If you wish to become a doctor or dentist,
Mount St. Mary's offers excellent preparation for
the competitive world of professional schools.
First, you have a choice of majors: i.e., Biological
Sciences, Biochemistry, and Chemistry. The
Biological Sciences Department has a special
Pre-Medical, Pre-Dental emphasis.
You will also be able to do research, working
closely with faculty members. This can prove
invaluable. Perhaps most important of all, your
liberal arts education will help you understand
your patients as human beings.
Discuss your career goals with the
department chairperson.
Psychobiology — Chalon
You will examine the relationships between
the biological makeup and the behavior of the
human personality. As the name of the major
suggests, courses concentrate heavily upon both
Biological Sciences and Psychology. As a junior
and senior, you will choose 12 courses in these two
fields, including Endocrinology, Experimental
Psychology, and Physiological Psychology. You
will also be encouraged to participate in a clinical
practicum in Psychology.
Psychology — Chalon
This major focuses upon the study of
emotion, learning, motivation and personality as
interacting human processes. You will explore
theories of personality formation, of mental health,
and of counseling.
Psychology is an excellent foundation for
graduate study for anyone interested in becoming a
practicing psychologist. It is helpful, too, in
business, law, social work, education, and
medicine.
Courses include Experimental Psychology,
Personality, Human Learning, Social Psychology,
Physiological Psychology, Abnormal Psychology,
and Counseling. As a senior, you will practice the
techniques you've learned in a mental health facility.
"Two factors make Religious Studies especially challenging
today: first, the hunger for religious experiences, as shown by
prayer groups, meditation courses, and self-improvement
programs; and second, the growing acceptance of how much
women can offer the church in responsible roles. It's an exciting
time to be in this field!" Sister Joan Henehan, CSJ, Assistant
Professor of Religious Studies.
Religious Studies — Chalon
Here is a chance to explore the various
theological, ethical, and spiritual ideas with which
people have responded to the mystery of life and
their relationship with God. You will investigate
Hebrew and Christian scriptures; Eastern, Jewish
and Protestant theological thought; and the
Catholic tradition.
This program will prepare you for a career in
various kinds of ministries — hospital, parish, and
campus — and for a career with religious
organizations, and for graduate study. You will
take a practicum, working with people in a
ministry which you select.
"I'm very interested in society and the changes - the very rapid
changes - that are taking place in our social structure today,
especially in family relationships. It seems terribly important
that students have some understanding of this structure, no
matter what they finally specialize in. This is part of the
strength of a liberal arts approach to education."
Mimi A. Simson, Assistant Professor of Sociology.
Social Science — Chalon
This is an expanded area major with a choice
of five emphases: Hispanic Studies, History,
Political Science, Public Administration, and
Sociology. This flexibility makes it a fine
preparation for careers in federal, state, or local
government, diplomatic service, or business. You
may go on to graduate work in law, political
science, history, sociology, urban planning, and
public administration.
A core of studies is directed toward fiscal
problems, employment, technology, societal roles,
and the general strategy of government.
Sociology — Chalon
Sociology studies the way people live
together in groups, with special emphasis upon
urban conditions, race relations, education,
poverty, and crime. The major can lead to careers
in civil service, market research, or business and
industry. Students may also go on to graduate
work in social organization, social psychology,
family relations, or urban studies.
You'll take Cultural Anthropology,
Probability and Statistics, and General Psychology.
As a junior and senior, you'll study The Family,
Deviant Behavior, Social Psychology, Racial and
Cultural Minorities, and Urban Sociology.
Spanish — Chalon
This major leads to a proficiency in reading,
writing, and speaking the language, as well as an
understanding of the culture of Spanish-speaking
nations. It prepares you for teaching, research,
graduate study, translation, and diplomatic service.
You will take Intermediate Spanish,
Phonetics and Conversation, History and
Civilization of Spain, and Advanced Grammar. As
a junior and senior, classes include Stylistics and
Composition, Spanish Literature, and
Spanish-American Civilization. You will also write
a senior thesis.
Admissions and general information.
How to apply for admission.
Each student is considered individually, and
all factors bearing on admission are assessed. To
enter any degree program you must present the
following information: completed application form,
transcripts of total previous academic records, SAT
or ACT scores, and three letters of
recommendation. Foreign students must also
present evidence of proficiency in oral and written
English by TOEFL scores over 550 or satisfactory
completion of the advanced level at an ELS
Language Center, as well as a guarantee of
financial support.
Students entering Bachelor Degree Programs
as freshmen must be graduates of accredited high
schools and have completed a college preparatory
program with at least a B average in all academic
subjects.
Students transferring to Bachelor Degree
Programs from another college should have a
cumulative grade point average of 2.25 in
transferable courses. Nursing majors must have a
2.5 grade point average. Transfer students with
more than 30 units are not required to submit SAT
or ACT scores.
The fundamental consideration for admission
to the Associate Degree Program is your ability to
benefit from the program. Individual
specializations may have additional requirements.
Please consult program fact sheets for details.
It is also highly desirable that you come to
the college for an interview, to discuss your record,
motivation, and personal circumstances. We are
very interested in finding the best ways to help you
achieve your academic goals.
Mount St. Mary's College does not, of
course, discriminate against any applicant or
student on the basis of race, age, religion, or
national or ethnic origin.
And when.
There is no deadline for application to the
college. But your chances for acceptance are better
if your application is on record by March 1 before
the fall semester in which you wish to enroll. The
nursing program admissions may close earlier.
For further information, write or call the
Director of Admissions, Mount St. Mary's College,
12001 Chalon Road, Los Angeles, California 90049,
(213) 476-2237.
The college calendar.
Our school year is based on the 4-1-4
structure. The fall semester runs from September
through December, and the spring semester from
February through May. January is reserved for
Interterm, when you may concentrate on one
course in depth.
Interterm. 31 days of possibilities.
Our students use Interterm for a wide variety
of learning experiences. Many use it to work on a
project they have designed themselves. Others
explore such subjects as "The Arts in Los
Angeles," going to museums, libraries, and
galleries, and going to concerts and plays. Or they
visit a Buddhist or Mormon temple, a Jewish
synagogue, and a Byzantine church to study their
architecture while learning about other religions.
Junior Year Abroad.
During one or both terms of your junior year,
you may be able to study in a foreign country. We
have made special arrangements with universities
in Mexico City, Quebec, and Vienna to accept
students from Mount St. Mary's and transfer their
grades.
Further details may be secured from the
Office of the Academic Dean.
From internships, practical experience.
Internships allow you to work in major
corporations or in educational or public offices,
earning academic credit while you gain valuable
experience. As a junior or senior, you may apply
what you have learned in school and confront
practical problems in business, health care,
psychology, communications, and many other
fields.
Our students have interned in banks, savings
and loans, specialty department stores,
congressional offices, schools for special children,
and health care facilities. They've served with
airline executives, attorneys, and political parties.
If you wish to be an intern, you and your
department chairman will discuss your interests,
skills, career goals, and schedule to design the
most beneficial program. The opportunity to be an
intern will help you confirm your choice of a major
and test career possibilities. But even more
important, it gives you an impressive answer to a
future employer's most difficult (and inevitable)
question, "What experience have you had?"
After graduation, what?
As a woman in today's world, you are
particularly fortunate. Your career choices can be
virtually unlimited. But to make the most of these
opportunities, you need to know where you are
going.
Whether you already know what you want to
do after completing college, or are still trying to
figure out your goals, we have a plan to help you
make the most of your life. Our Office of Career
Planning will spend time in testing and personal
counseling to discover what career fits you. You
can explore your interests, values, and skills, and
we will work with you to relate this knowledge to
data about job opportunities and labor trends.
This office will also teach you traditional and
non- traditional ways of looking for a job. Special
workshops will sharpen your job-hunting
techniques, give you a chance to practice your
approach to job interviews, and help you write an
impressive resume.
How can I pay for it?
Well over one-half of our students receive
financial aid of one kind or another. This takes
many forms:
Scholarships/Grants/ Awards: Basic
Educational Opportunity Grants, Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grants, Federal Nursing
Grants, California Grants A, B, C, Art and Music
Scholarships, Alumnae Scholarships, Dean's
Awards, Leadership Awards, and other grants and
awards administered bythe college.
Loans: National Direct Student Loans,
Guaranteed Student Loans, Federal Nursing
Loans.
Employment: College Work-Study, Service
Contracts.
If part-time employment is part of your
financial aid package at Mount St. Mary's, you may
work up to 15 hours per week, depending upon
financial need and the availability of jobs. Jobs may
be on campus, in faculty offices, cafeteria, or
library, and they pay an average of $2.65 per hour.
This experience often proves a valuable asset when
you seek full-time employment after graduation.
Training workshops are provided for all student
employees.
Many of our students pay for their education
through a combination of two or more of these
programs. Whatever form it takes, all financial aid
is administered in accordance with nationally
established principles, and awarded on the basis of
satisfactory academic progress and financial need,
without discrimination by race, national and ethnic
origin, or religion.
Because all forms of aid must be coordinated
with awards from the California Student Aid
Commission and Basic Educational Opportunity
Grants, applicants are urged to complete the
Financial Aid Form/BEOG, common application,
and Cal Grant supplements by the designated
deadline. Application will be reviewed when all
paperwork is on file. First priority will be given to
students who meet the college deadline of March 1.
Students' needs will be met with a combination
package of scholarship, grant, loan, and
employment, based on the availability of funds and
an individual evaluation of each student's needs.
A financial aid brochure giving complete
information and application may be obtained by
writing to the Financial Aid Office at either the
Chalon or the Doheny Campus.
As a further financial assistance, you may be
able to live off-campus in a nearby home, earning
room and board in exchange for 12 hours per week
of baby-sitting or light housekeeping.
The Office of Student Development
coordinates these housing arrangements, with an
eye toward matching families with students.
Continuing Education.
Coming back and going on.
"I felt I needed to put myself through a rock
tumbler. I needed to define myself, to internalize
my experiences and background. The Mount has
done that for me. Everyone there has been wide
open to me, and helped me work toward my own
goals."
Laurie Ostrow is in her mid- fifties, with a
husband, two grown sons, and a successful career
in personnel management and education. By most
standards, her life has been rewarding. "But I
wasn't growing." This thought, expressed in
different ways by different Continuing Education
students, sums up the reason most women return
to college. They are looking for self- fulfillment, for
knowledge for its own sake, in order to grow.
"I used to see the college from my home,"
Laurie continued. "One day, I called to ask about
going back to school. They told me the semester
had already started, but to come on in just the
same. The Director of Admissions herself took me
over to the department head. Can you imagine
anybody doing that at most colleges?"
Like most returning students, she admits that
going back to college has been difficult. "But I
wouldn't trade it for anything. And the faculty, the
other students, everybody has been absolutely
marvelous. They've done everything to make me
feel I belong."
Carolyn Harris had gone to UCLA before
marrying, and had even gone back for some
extension courses. "But just finding a place to park
there is traumatic." Now, with the last of their four
children in high school, she wanted to get her
degree.
She happened to get a flyer describing the
Focus course at the Mount. This seminar,
conducted especially for women who wish to
return to college, covers two semesters. The first
Continuing Education students discuss experiences in Charles
Willard Coe Library on Chalon. Library contains more than
106,000 volumes, 580 current periodicals, 1200 microfilm reels,
and 4900 Audio/Visual titles. Doheny library adds 20,800
volumes, 125 periodicals, 177 microfilm reels, 542 recordings.
seeks out and attempts to define personal concerns
for growth. The second considers the application of
knowledge in today's world.
"One of my professors told me she thought I
belonged in English, even though I'd majored in
nutrition at UCLA. I've started reading again. I'm
more alert, more alive. My husband says the
Mount makes me more interested and more
interesting.
"Sure, it's been hard getting back into
studying. But I look at learning in a totally different
light now. I'm doing it for me, not because I think I
should, or because somebody tells me I must.
"Every time I drive up the hill to the Mount,
my spirits rise."
Many Continuing Ed students return to
college to realize a specific career goal. Mary
Hesburgh is one of these. "Before I married, I
taught third grade. But I'd always wanted to be a
nurse. I thought I'd fulfill that desire by doing
volunteer work, and at first, that was fine. But after
a while, it just wasn't enough.
"So when Chris, our youngest, went into
kindergarten, I decided it was time to try. Mount
St. Mary's is close, and it has the kind of
philosopical approach I wanted. I went to see
them, scared and tongue-tied, knowing they'd
never let me in. Instead, I got all the
encouragement I needed, from everybody —
Admissions staff, the faculty, even the students.
"I've never felt out of place, never had a
single day when I felt uncomfortable. There's no
kind of segregation just because I'm older — with
three kids in college and two in high school. When
I've had to go on a trip with my husband, I've
always been able to get notes and make up the
classes.
"I've been there two-and-a-half years now
and it's just great being in a school where
everybody cares and wants you to succeed."
For Muriel Friedman, Mount St. Mary's has
proved the end of a long search. She and her
husband, a dentist who is also head of a
department at USC, have two daughters, one
grown and the other a teenager. Eight years ago,
finding herself with time on her hands, she went to
UCLA and took courses and psychological tests to
determine her talents and aptitudes. One of the
answers was art.
She took drawing classes at UCLA, at Otis
Art Institute, and from a private instructor. But
none seemed quite right for her.
"Then one day I was ironing, and I saw a
commercial on TV for Mount St. Mary's. My
daughter Susie knew about the school, and that
same day, I called them up and went up to see
them. I enrolled in Art. At first, I thought I'd go for
my degree, but now, what I want to do is learn all I
can about the subject I love."
She goes to classes every day for half-days,
"just to satisfy my own curiosity and develop my
talent as much as I can."
On Mount St. Mary's, "I think it's fantastic.
I've been encouraged by everybody, and that
includes all the students. They never make you feel
out of place. I never get a 'No' from anybody —
doors are never closed. I feel alive again. And
would you believe it, I made the Dean's List this
semester!"
Another bonus was summed up by a
member of the college staff who has known her
since the day she applied for admission. "Every
time I see Muriel, she looks younger."
Barbara Gordon came back for still another
reason. "I graduated in 1961 with a B.A. in
Sociology from UCLA. Then I married and had two
children. Last year, I decided I wanted to go back
to school for my master's, after working as a
para-professional in child development at
Cedars-Sinai Hospital. My goal has always been
social work. But when I applied to USC, they
turned me down because I hadn't been in school
for a long time, and my grade average wasn't very
high."
To overcome these problems, she came to
Mount St. Mary's. She spent an Interterm and two
semesters with us, and got good grades, even
though she admits to terrible anxiety. "I never
have thought of myself as a student. But at the
Mount, I got tremendous support. The smallness
allows individual attention and gives you a chance
to express yourself. The teachers go out of their
way to know you as a person, not just a name on
the class roll.
"I'm Jewish and I was a little concerned
about being in a Catholic school. But there's such
an open attitude, my background just added

Degree Programs
Associate Degree Program
At the Doheny Campus two-year courses of study are
offered which lead to the Associate in Arts degree. With
prime emphasis on the student as an individual, the
program attempts to enhance self- development through
involvement on and off campus in OUTREACH activities
— social action and fieldwork — and in institutional
involvement. Extensive advisement and counseling
programs and a core program in communication skills
support the regular course work.
Students may specialize in Art, Business, Liberal Arts,
Nursing, Physical Therapy Assistant, Pre-School
Teaching, and Respiratory Therapy. The Nursing
program makes the student eligible to write the licensing
examination to practice as a registered nurse and to use
the title R.N. The two-year program can also prepare the
student to transfer to the Chalon Campus, or can lend
itself to individually designed study programs. For
further information, see the associate degree section.
Bachelors Degree Programs
Mount St. Mary's College offers four-year courses of
study leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor
of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Music, and Bachelor of Science.
Primarily these are offered at the Chalon Campus. See
the bachelors degree section.
Within the liberal arts tradition, the curriculum provides
the student with a broad and liberating background in the
arts and sciences, and aims at developing her ability to
communicate knowledge and to apply appropriate
principles and techniques to particular problems. During
the junior and senior years, the student pursues deeper
study in her major areas of concentration and takes
related elective courses.
Masters Degree Programs/Teacher Credential Programs
Since 1931, the graduate division of Mount St. Mary's
College has extended and deepened the work of the
undergraduate departments by offering to qualified men
and women the opportunity to pursue advanced courses
and to obtain professional training.
Students may earn the degrees of Master of Arts in
Teaching with a major in History or Spanish, and Master
of Science in Education with specializations in
Administrative Studies, Bilingual/Cross-Cultural Studies,
Individually Designed Program, Early Childhood
Education, Pupil Personnel Services, and Special
Education (Learning Handicapped). This latter
specialization is in collaboration with the Leadership
Program of the Marianne Frostig Center of Educational
Therapy.
The graduate division also offers courses which qualify
the student for various specializations in the California
Teaching Credentials and for the California Services and
Specialist Credentials. See the graduate section.
Characterization of Mount St.
Mary's College
Academic Focus
Mount St. Mary's College is an academic community
devoted to continuing exploration of our relation to God,
other persons, and nature. This exploration takes the
form of programs designed to provide experience in the
principal modes of thought by which we reach
understanding, and the strengths and limitations of these
modes. The objectives are to assist the student to develop
a disciplined and continuing curiosity, a receptivity to
new ideas, and a base for evaluation of these ideas.
Within the framework of these same major objectives, the
College also offers programs, undergraduate and
graduate, in which the student engages in more intensive
study appropriate to a specific career. In this way the
College ensures that it will not only directly serve the
society that supports it, but will also enhance the
student's awareness of an ever-changing context within
which values of the individual must operate. It is in this
latter context of a dynamic society that programs of
continuing education will find and play their role.
The Religious Commitment
The Catholic commitment of the College manifests itself
in many ways. It is found in opportunities for worship. It
is found in academic programs. It is found in the way the
College functions. Above all, it is found in the whole
environment in which inquiry and learning take place.
Thus, the College embodies Christian convictions
supportive of lives of commitment and Christian concern
in a secular society.
Distinctive Services
Several factors emerge from the history and environment
of the College that create a distinctive community. A true
academic community becomes possible: the total college
— not just the classroom, the academic major or the
course — is a learning environment. Historically, the
College is a liberal arts institution with a special concern
for the education of women; however, men are admitted
to undergraduate music and nursing, to graduate and
extended day programs, and to summer sessions. It is a
small college of about 1000 students on two campuses.
General Information/3
The Chalon campus primarily offers baccalaureate
programs in liberal arts and sciences, and related
professional training. The Doheny campus offers a
variety of programs ranging from two-year through
graduate, in which the metropolitan setting is a
significant factor in learning.
Academic Government
The academic community that is the College requires of
each constituent group a distinct role related to the
welfare of the whole. As such, it is not a microcosmic
political society of identical and equal units in which
egalitarian principles can operate. Rather, functional
distinctions produce different kinds of responsibilities
which in turn must determine kinds of authority.
For example, students and alumnae are helpful when
they advise on the quality of teaching and the adequacy
of programs. Faculty are best equipped to determine
academic content and to advise on program needs.
Administrators and staff perform their function when
they allocate scarce resources and provide the services
necessary to achieve the academic purposes of the
College most effectively. Regents assist through
participation in College functions and in support of
advancement programs. Trustees best discharge their
responsibility by defining College goals, reviewing
collegiate performance, and providing effective liaison
with concerned extra-mural groups.
Because Mount St. Mary's College is a community, each
group has an additional responsibility for keeping the
others informed and for soliciting the views of others on
matters of mutual or overlapping concern. The separation
of function must, however, always parallel the division of
authority, and the exercise of authority must always
recognize the interdependence of each group in achieving
the welfare of the College.
Accreditations
Chartered by the State of California in 1925, Mount St.
Mary's College is accredited by:
The Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and
Universities of the Western Association of Schools and
Colleges
The California State Board of Education.
The California Board of Registered Nursing.
The National League for Nursing.
The National Association of Schools of Music.
Affiliations
The Frostig Center for Educational Therapy, established
in 1948, became associated with Mount St. Mary's
College in 1969.
The Center-College association provides for a sharing of
faculties and facilities, with Mount St. Mary's granting
the Master of Science degree with a specialization in
Special Education in the area of Learning Handicapped,
and the California Specialist Credential in Special
Education — Learning Handicapped. The program
prepares leadership personnel for school systems that
give help to the educationally handicapped.
The Frostig Center is in Culver City, off the Santa Monica
Freeway, within twenty minutes of the Doheny Campus.
Family Education Rights and Privacy Act
Mount St. Mary's College fully conforms with the Family
Education Rights and Privacy Act (the Buckley
Amendment) of 1974. In accordance with this act, official
records are made available to students and are not made
available to off-campus persons or agencies without the
express consent of the student, except under legal
compulsion or in cases in which the safety of persons or
property is involved, or for educational improvement.
See current Student Handbook for policy statement.
Legal Responsibility of the College
The college endeavors to safeguard students in the use of
physical facilities, laboratories, and athletic equipment. It
is clearly understood that students who use college
facilities do so entirely at their own risk. Emergency first
aid treatment is available, but the college has no legal
responsibility for injury or other damages suffered by
students on or off the campus, or in travel to and from
such activities or for any expenses in connection
therewith.
Nondiscrimination Policy
Mount St. Mary's College admits students of any race,
color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights,
privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or
made available to students. It does not discriminate on
the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in
administration of its educational policies, admissions
policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and
other college-administered programs.

Rooms are reserved for the year. Room assignments are made in the order of the receipt of the reservation payment.
Advance payment is forfeited if notice of withdrawal is received after August 1. Room deposit is forfeited if notice of
intention to withdraw from residence is not given to the Director of Residence prior to the close of the fall semester.
Refunds
All students complying with the procedure established for withdrawal from the college or from a course are entitled to a
refund according to the following scale:
Period of time Refundable
During first week (tuition) 100 % minus $25
administrative
fee
During first week (room and board) 75 %
During second week (tuition, room and board) 75 %
During third week (tuition, room and board) 50 %
During fourth week (tuition, room and board) 25 %
After fourth week 0
The date on which the notice of withdrawal is filed with the Registrar's Office is used to calculate the amount of refund
of tuition and/or room and board. Refunds will be first credited against a student's financial aid, if any, before a balance
accrues to the student. No refunds will be made for fees.
Refunds will not be made in cases of suspension or dismissal.
When outside agencies, grants, scholarships or loans do not cover the withdrawal or change of unit charge, the
individual will be responsible for the amount due.
Note Regarding Interterm
For full-time students no additional charge is made for Interterm; consequently, no refund will be made to anyone not
attending. The tuition charge for the first half of the academic year which is paid in September covers the fall semester
and Interterm. The second half of the tuition charge for the academic year which is paid in February covers the spring
semester. For a full-time student entering the college for the first time after Christinas, payment for the spring semester
includes Interterm. Payment is made at the time of registration. No refund will be made if the student does not attend
Interterm.
The same policy applies to room and board charges. Since additional charges are not made, no refunds will be made.
Students who come to the college only for the Interterm and come outside the established exchange process will pay the
regular per unit tuition and the board and room fee established for the Interterm.
8/General Information
Financial Aid
All financial aid at Mount St. Mary's College is
administered in accordance with principles which have
been established nationally. These are based on the belief
that parents have a responsibility for assisting their
children to meet educational costs, and that financial aid
is available to fill the gap between a family's contribution
(including the student's own potential resources) and the
student's yearly academic expenses.
The amount of the contribution expected from a family is
determined by a careful analysis of the family's financial
strength, based on the "Financial Aid Form" (FAF) which
is submitted to the College Scholarship Service of the
College Entrance Examination Board.
There are many financial assistance programs available
from sources outside the college such as Cal Grants A, B,
C from the State, Federal Basic Educational Opportunity
Grants, Federal loans, and scholarships given by
foundations, business firms, and clubs. High school
seniors who have financial need should investigate all of
these sources of aid. High school seniors should also
obtain information on how to apply for a Basic
Educational Opportunity Grant from their counselors.
The financial aid programs available at MSMC are:
ScholarshipslGrantsi 'Awards: Art and Music scholarships,
Alumnae scholarships, Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grants, Federal Nursing Grants, Dean's
Awards, Leadership Awards, other MSMC grants and
awards.
Loans: National Direct Student Loans, Guaranteed
Student Loans, Federal Nursing Loans.
Employment: College Work-study, Service Contracts
Financial aid at MSMC is awarded on the basis of
satisfactory academic progress and financial need and
without discrimination by sex, race or religion. Assistance
is also dependent upon the availability of funds. Since all
forms of aid must be coordinated with the awards from
the California Student Aid Commission and BEOG,
applicants are urged to complete the FAF/BEOG,
common application and Cal Grant supplements by the
designated deadline. Applications will be reviewed when
all paperwork is on file and first priority will be given to
students who meet MSMC deadline of March 1.
Students' needs will be met with a combination package
of scholarship, grant, loan and employment, based on the
availability of funds and the individual situation of the
student.
Financial aid brochure giving complete application and
program information may be obtained by writing to the
financial aid office at the Chalon or Doheny campuses.
The Alumnae Association
The Alumnae Association works toward the goals and
interests of the college and toward strengthening avenues
of communication and bonds of loyalty between the
college and graduates of the Mount.
The Alumnae Association is a member of the Council for
Advancement and Support of Education. Its members
qualify for membership in the American Association of
University Women; the International Federation of
Catholic Alumnae; Kappa Gamma Pi, the honor society
for the graduates from Catholic colleges for women; and
Delta Epsilon Sigma, honor society for graduates of
Catholic universities and colleges.
Associate Degree Program
10/ Associate Degree Program
Associate
Degree Program
The Associate in Arts program gives students the
opportunity to explore new beginnings. It offers
excellence in its specialized fields and concern for the
individual student who hopes to become a more educated
and a finer person. Each student is unique: each
possesses different strengths and capacities, has different
criteria and motivation for success, and has the capacity
to change, to grow, and to make responsible choices.
Each is offered the personalized atmosphere of the
Doheny program. The fundamental goal of this program
is to provide knowledge and skills required to make a
living within the larger context of making a life. An
environment based on Christian principles is geared to
enable students, faculty, and administrators to live a life
of concern and commitment in accord with those
principles.
Special Features
The academic program at Doheny centers around the
personal development of each student and emphasizes
three asepcts of her learning environment: organized
instruction, experience, and support.
Organized instruction aims at the transmission of
knowledge, skills, attitudes, and motivations derived
from academic disciplines and theories. Experience, a
second dimension of the program, endeavors to relate
personal growth and learning to the more practical
aspects of life. Support, a third feature of the program,
attempts to reinforce personal strengths and, at the same
time, to remove obstacles to personal growth. Thus the
A. A. program has a dual focus — classroom learning and
experience-oriented learning, both forms of learning
taking place in a climate of support and encouragement.
Organized Instruction
The college provides three major curriculum options: a
specialization, transfer to a baccalaureate major, or the
liberal arts option. A student may study one of six
specializations: art, business, nursing, physical therapy
assistant, pre-school teaching or respiratory therapy. She
may begin preparation for transfer to one of the
baccalaureate majors at the Chalon Campus of Mount St.
Mary's, or she may elect to experiment with various fields
of study while earning the A. A. degree.
Experience.
Opportunities for experience can occur both inside and
outside the college. Experiences within the college are
called College Involvement, and those outside the college
are organized into a three-level program called Outreach.
College Involvement. Students are encouraged to become a
vital part of college. They are invited to serve on major
committees and to initiate religious, cultural, and social
activities at Doheny.
Outreach. This program extends the learning process
beyond campus limits. The student becomes aware of
important issues in society by dealing with them.
Opportunities are offered for career-related experiences
and the blending of theory and practice. Regular
volunteer aid to community agencies, centers, and
institutions is made available.
Off-campus college-related experiences occur at several
levels:
Social Action. The student may perform supervised
volunteer services: tutoring, hospital volunteer work,
child care, home visiting, and the like.
Fieldwork. The student may engage in supervised
field work directly related to a course or to her
program of studies: clinical nursing, supervised
teaching, business internship, or similar work.
Outreach Term. The student spends a term in an
off-campus experience involving problem-solving
with the guidance and instruction of a faculty
member.
In all of these experiences, the goal is the development of
the student through the practical application of
knowledge to life situations.
Support Programs.
At Doheny, support occurs as an outgrowth of the total
philosophy of the college. The Support Program is
designed to help the student achieve success in college. It
is a combination of course work, such as Communication
Skills, group and individual counseling, student- faculty
relations, and personal interest.
Communication Skills. The ability to communicate is one of
the basic tools of learning. A student must be able to
receive and to transmit information accurately. This
process involves reading, writing, speaking, and
listening, as well as understanding non-verbal messages.
She must be able to think logically and apply knowledge
to problems and situations at hand. A student usually
enrolls in Communication Skills during her first term at
Doheny so that these skills may be integrated throughout
her academic program.
Four levels of instruction in Communication Skills are
offered: (1) Large group instruction on principles; (2)
Small group workshops to apply these principles; (3)
Individual tutorial help as needed; (4) Self- teaching,
using machines and programmed materials iri the
communication skills lab in the Learning Resource
Center.
Associate Degree Program/11
Counseling. Counseling services are offered as an integral
part of the college experience, to assist students in
self-evaluation and attainment of their potential.
Group Counseling. This is an attempt to enable the
student to make responsible choices while recognizing
her own values, setting her own goals and priorities,
and at times facing conflict. Usually the student
participates in Group Experience during the first term
at Doheny as an orientation to the total college
experience.
Academic Counseling. Assistance in selecting program
and courses is available in the Counseling Center.
Personal Counseling. If the student desires personal
counseling, it is built into the program. Informed and
concerned faculty and staff are available for personal
and religious counseling. Doheny students are also
eligible to use the full scope of services provided at the
Counseling Center of the University of Southern
California under the provisions described in Health
Services.
Career Counseling. Through the assistance of
counselors and an elective course in career planning,
students are offered help in making career decisions
. and in planning an appropriate program of studies,
reference materials on career possibilities and further
education are available in the Counseling Center.

While individual majors in the Associate in Arts program
may have additional requirements the basic criterion for
admission is the ability to benefit from the program. All
majors are open to women. Men are admitted into the
Nursing Program.
Transfer Admission Procedures
Transfer applicants for admission must submit the following:
1. Completed application form with an application fee of
$20.00. This processing fee is not refundable nor
applicable to tuition. Application fee waivers are
granted upon evidence of financial need.
2. Transcripts of credits. College transfer students should
request the Registrar of each college they have
attended to forward two copies of their transcript,
including work in progress, directly to the Admissions
Office. Transcripts submitted become the property of
Mount St. Mary's College and cannot be returned to
the applicant.
12/ Associate Degree Program
3. Three letters of recommendation.
4. Other information a student may wish to provide in
support of her/his application: awards, honors, special
experiences.
5. Foreign students must present evidence of proficiency
in oral and written English by TOEFL scores of 550 or
better or satisfactory completion of the ninth level at
an ELS Language Center. A statement guaranteeing
financial support is also required.
A personal interview is strongly recommended and can
be arranged through the Admissions Office.
Conditional Admission
A student who qualifies for admission but whose
academic history indicates possible difficulty in college
may be admitted conditionally. The conditions are
established at the time of acceptance into the associate
degree programs.
To have the conditions removed a student must maintain
good academic standing (2.0 minimum grade point
average) for two semesters and meet the other
requirements established at the time of acceptance. For
further details on conditional admission, consult the
Admissions Office or the Academic Counselor in the
Counseling Center.
Transfer of Credit
The extent of the transfer student's advanced standing is
determined on an individual basis and is not decided
until an evaluation of all previous academic work has
been completed.
Credit for courses taken in other accredited colleges or
universities is transferable provided that the transferred
courses satisfy curriculum requirements at Mount St.
Mary's College. A maximum of 36 semester units or 54
quarter units for course work taken in an accredited
college is transferable toward the associate degree. Credit
for extension course is not automatically transferable.
A final credit summary and determination of advanced
standing will be prepared by the registrar after the
applicant is accepted for admission and all final
transcripts have been submitted.
Once admitted to and enrolled in the college, the student
is normally expected to pursue study only at Mount St.
Mary's College.
A student seeking an exception to this policy must file a
Transfer of Credit Clearance with all approvals in the
office of the registrar prior to registration in course for
which approval has been obtained.
Special Admission
Special admission may be granted to students who are
returning to the classroom after an absence or to students
who wish to take courses for enrichment but do not wish
to pursue a degree at this time.
Up to twelve units may be earned as a special part-time
student. After taking twelve units, the student will be
reviewed for formal admission to a degree program. The
units taken as a special student may be applied toward
the degree unless otherwise noted.
Academic Policies
Degree Requirements
1. A minimum of sixty semester hour units of credit are
required with a grade point average of at least 2.0. The
last 24 units immediately preceding graduation
normally must be completed at Mount St. Mary's
College.
2. The following courses are required:
a. A course in religious studies
b. A three -unit course in humanities outside the
specialization requirements:
Art, music, literature, cultural history
c. At least one term in Communication Skills
(DO10A).
d. At least one term in Outreach by participation in
one of the following:
— Social Action
— Fieldwork or clinical experience associated with
the specialization
— An Outreach term
e. At least one term in group counseling.
3. Satisfaction of the residence requirement. Residence is
defined as the last twenty- four units before graduation
which must be taken at Mount St. Mary's College. At
least some of these units are in the student's
specialization and are earned in regular course work.
4. Fulfillment of Mount St. Mary's College bachelors
program general studies requirements is strongly
recommended. A wide background of study is
considered important. Electives should be chosen with
this in mind.
Specialization Requirements
To obtain a degree with a specialization, the particular
requirements in that area must be met. Basic curricular
patterns listed in this bulletin should be followed with the
consent and approval of academic advisors.
Maximum Credit Load
During the first term of the freshman year, a student is
encouraged to select a minimum program of courses
unless her area of specialization prescribes a certain
pattern, or unless her grade point average is exceptionally
high.
Learning Resource Center
In order to enable each student to achieve maximum
benefit from the academic programs at the college, the
Learning Resource Center is available. Students enrolled
Associate Degree Program/13
in Communication Skills programs, nursing, business,
and human services programs will find learning materials
pertinent to course content as well as study materials for
individual skill building.
The center provides referral and individualized and
group sessions. A volunteer program of student tutors is
provided. Communication Skills tutors assist students
with course-related assignments as well as special
experience courses for academic credit.
Testing programs for placement and assessment are
arranged in conjunction with the academic counselor in
the Counseling Center.
Academic Counseling Services
Mount St. Mary's College is currently implementing a
Counseling Center at the Doheny Campus for Associate
in Arts students. This center will provide on an on-going
basis academic counseling and referral services. The
academic counselor will provide a system for academic
advisement, will establish an academic testing and
referral program, and will coordinate the services of
several faculty advisors in the center. Once a student has
been admitted to the college, she will plan her program
with an academic advisor who will assist her with goal
achievement and who will further clarify college policies
and procedures.
Although the college makes every effort to provide
academic counseling to the student, it is ultimately the
individual student's responsibility to see that all
specialization and degree requirements have been
fulfilled.
Independent Study/Directed Reading
Opportunity for independent study and directed reading
is available to qualified students. In independent study,
the student has responsibility for planning,
implementing, and presenting the project; the faculty
member approves the project, meets with the student
several times in the term, and evaluates the final results.
In directed reading, the faculty member shares the
responsibility with the student, generally planning the
readings and/or projects and meeting with the student
regularly.
Guidelines for Independent Study Directed Reading:
1. Introductory courses to discipline will not be taken in
this mode.
2. Freshmen will take neither independent study nor
directed reading.
3. Neither independent study nor directed reading will
be taken in Interterm to fulfill a General Studies
requirement.
4. No more than two independent studies or directed
readings will be taken in any one semester.
5. In extraordinary circumstances, the above guidelines
may be waived by petition.
Prior to registering for independent or directed study, the
student discusses plans with the sponsoring faculty
member, prepares a proposal which should include goals,
methodology, bibliography, target dates, and evaluative
criteria, and files an approval form for the projected study
in the office of the academic dean.
Interterm
Full time students at Mount St. Mary's College are
expected to participate in the Interterm program as part
of the academic year. During the month of January,
students will ordinarily concentrate on a single activity.
Thus, the student should plan on devoting her full time
(30-40 hours a week) to the study she chooses to pursue.
Opportunities for interdepartmental work, for in-depth
study in one area, for research, for internships, for
experience-oriented courses, for independent study, and
for travel will be available during interterm.
Opportunities are also available for students to participate
in Interterm experiences at other colleges on an exchange
basis.
Students are encouraged to explore interest areas both
inside and outside their major department on either the
Chalon or the Doheny campus.
Students should note that a maximum of six
non-required units in special programs may be counted
toward the baccalaureate degree.
Students may take a maximum of four units during an
Interterm session. These units are not computed with the
12-17 units which a full-time student may take during the
fall or spring semesters.
Enrollment in Interterm courses is determined on a first
come, first served basis. However, any sophomore who
enrolls in a class during the registration period may have
first preference. All courses taken during the Interterm
period must be completed by the end of January.
Incompletes may not be given except in extraordinary
circumstances and with the consent of the A. A. dean.
Honors
Honors at Entrance:
Applicants who have at least a 3.3 GPA in academic
subjects in high school and who score a minimum of 1150
on the CEEB Aptitude Test or 26 on the ACT test, or
applicants who have been recommended by the Honors
Committee, are awarded Honors at Entrance.
Dean's List
To give public recognition to academic achievement, the
academic dean posts a list each term with the names of
full-time students who have obtained a grade point
average of 3.5 or higher for the preceding term.
14/Associate Degree Program
To qualify for the Dean's List, a full-time student must
have taken at least 12 letter-graded units in the preceding
semester. To qualify for the Dean's List, a part-time
student must have taken at least 5 letter-graded units in
the preceding semester (excluding students who register
full-time, but who drop units or take an Incomplete
during the semester).
Graduation With Honors (Associate in Arts Degree)
With honors shall be granted to a student who has earned
the Associate in Arts degree while maintaining a
cumulative 3.5 grade point average prior to the final
semester.
The overall GPA at the end of the fall semester of the
academic year is used in determining honors. The
student's grade point average will be calculated on the
basis of grades earned at Mount St. Mary's College as
well as grades transferred into the College at the time of
matriculation. Courses at another institution after
matriculation are not counted into the cumulative grade
point average.
Placement and Acceleration
Acceleration Program for High School Students
Superior high school juniors or seniors who are
recommended by their principals may be permitted to
enroll in regular on-campus classes and earn college
credit. A special reduced fee is available for 1-6 units per
semester.
Advanced Placement
Students who earn scores of 3, 4, or 5 in Advanced
Placement Examinations (ETS) may receive credit for
equivalent courses provided they are accepted and
registered students at Mount St. Mary's College.
Students taking the Advanced Placement Examinations
should arrange to have test results sent to the Office of
Admissions.
Placement Examinations
Examinations used to place a student at a level of study
may result in lower levels of study being waived. No
credit will be awarded as a result of these placement
examinations.
Credit by Examination, Extra-Institutional Learning, and
Non-Collegiate Coursework
Mount St. Mary's College recognizes that learning can
and often does occur outside the formal setting of the
classroom. The college provides for this in the following
ways: credit by examination, credit for extra-institutional
learning, and credit for non-collegiate coursework.
Credit by Exam
There are two ways a student may demonstrate her
knowledge of content areas: by challenging course exams
and by taking standard proficiency exams. Credit for
certain courses in the college may be earned by
successfully passing departmental exams. A list of these
courses is published each fall. A student must notify the
department of her intention to challenge a departmental
course one month in advance of the date of the exam.
Successfully passing the exam, she may receive credit for
the course. A fee is required to conduct and process this;
see Tuition and Fees.
Students may also take externally administered exams
such as CLEP (College- Level Examination Program from
CEEB) and PEP (Professional Equivalency Program from
ACT) in those areas approved by the college. Information
about these exams and a current list of approved exams
are available from the dean's office, the registrar's office,
or the Counseling Center. Students who have taken
CLEP or PEP exams prior to enrolling at Mount St.
Mary's College must present original transcripts from
ACT or CEEB in order to receive credit.
Credit for non-traditional, extra-institutional learning
When a student has acquired college-level skills and
learning relating to her academic goals through
experiences such as work, travel, and reading, she may
have this learning evaluated for credit by preparing a
portfolio containing an application, supporting evidence
and documents and a narrative relating the
extra-institutional learning to her educational objectives.
Credit for college-level course offered by non-collegiate agencies
Students who have taken courses sponsored by business,
industry, the armed forces, or other non-collegiate
agencies may apply for an evaluation of these learning
experiences. If the course has previously been evaluated
by the American Council on Eduation (ACE) and appears
in The National Guide, a student may not have to prepare
a portfolio. In all other cases, a student requesting credit
for non-collegiate courses must prepare a portfolio for
evaluation by a faculty committee.
These portfolios should be prepared according to the
guidelines in CAEL Student Handbook with the guidance of
an advisor. If the portfolio is approved by a faculty
committee, the student may earn college credit
appropriate to the experiences. A fee is required to
conduct and process this evaluation: see Tuition and
Fees. For further details, see the Dean for Associate in
Arts Programs or the Academic Counselor in the
Counseling Center.
An A. A. student may earn a maximum of 9 units for
credit by exam. An LVN applicant to the second year of
the A. A. program in nursing may earn 15 units by taking
the NLN challenge exam and by completing NUR 40
successfully.
An A. A. student may earn a maximum of 10 units in
credit for extra-institutional learning and 10 units in credit
for non-collegiate course work.
Associate Degree Program/15
Credit examinations and portfolio evaluations will
ordinarily be given only to students who are admitted to
the college. After satisfactorily completing the
examination or evaluation, the student will register and
receive credit for the corresponding course(s). Only
"credit" (i.e., no letter grades) will be given; no record of
failures will appear on the transcript.
Credit will only be awarded at the end of one semester's
study at the college. The residence requirement stipulates
that the last 24 units to be counted toward the degree be
earned in course work.
Classification of Students
To be classified as a sophomore, a student must have
satisfactorily completed 30 semester units (10 standard
courses), or the unit equivalent.
A student with full-time status must carry 12-17 units per
semester. Part-time students carry less than 12 units per
semester. Foreign students (with nonimmigrant "F-l"
student status) enrolled in beginning ESL (on or off
campus) plus nine semester units may be considered as
students with full-time status.
Special students may take a course or courses for
academic credit without following a prescribed
curriculum toward a degree. After twelve units of study,
a special student, unless exempted by the dean, should
make application for admission to the college.
Auditors attend class sessions regularly but are not
obligated to take examinations. They receive no credit for
courses audited.
Ordinarily a student should be a sophomore before
enrolling in upper division courses. It is the student's
responsibility to be aware of prerequisites or
requirements for enrolling in upper division courses.
Degree Application
May graduates must file for the appropriate degree
during the fall semester of the sophomore year. Students
who plan to graduate at other times should file for the
degree not later than three weeks after the start of the
final semester.
Attendance
Since regularity and punctuality are essential to the
successful pursuit of study, the number and character of
student absences will be taken into account in
determining academic grades. Unless proof to the
contrary is furnished, an instructor will assume that an
absence is without serious cause.
There is no provision for a system of allowed cuts and
absences. In the case of a prolonged absence because of
illness or other serious reasons, the recommendation of
the academic dean is required for the student to be
reinstated in class. Students may be dropped from a class
for excessive absences when, in the opinion of the
instructor, further enrollment in the class would be of
little value to the student. Occasionally, a student is
excused from class attendance by the academic dean in
order to represent the college at some function. The
student should inform her instructors of such excused
absences and secure from them assignments for the next
class.
Course Examinations
All undergraduate sudents are required to take the
regular course examinations.
Grades
At the end of each term, the student receives a grade in
every class. The grade indicates results of examinations,
term reports, and general scholastic standing in the entire
course.
The student's grade point average is computed according
to this scale:
A, excellent, 4 grade points per unit
B, good, 3 grade points per unit
C, average, 2 grade points per unit
D, poor but passing, 1 grade point per unit
F, failure, 0 grade points per unit
The following grades are not computed in the GPA:
AU, audit
CR, C or better; credit given
I, incomplete
IP, deferred grading for graduate thesis, senior project,
or undergraduate research work in progress.
NC, D or F; no credit given
W, withdrawn
Grading Policies
CreditlNo Credit
To encourage a wider choice of courses by lessening the
student's concern for the grade point average, selected
courses may be taken for CR/NC. The following
regulations apply to this option:
Students may apply a maximum of 9 semester units of
CR/NC to the Associate in Arts degree, and a maximum
of 18 semester units of CR/NC to the baccalaureate
degree; not more than 5 units each term may be taken for
CR/NC.
Courses taken for CR/NC may not be applied to the
General Studies requirements; nor may they be applied
to requirements for the student's major, except at the
discretion of the major department.
The student must indicate intent to take a course CR/NC
no later than the last day to drop a class, as indicated on
the academic calendar, by filing with the Registrar a form
signed by the advisor, the instructor, and the student. A
change to letter grade may not be petitioned after the
form has been filed. Signings are a form of active consent
and not pro forma.
16/Associate Degree Program
Incomplete
An Incomplete is given only when a student:
1. has fulfilled the majority of the course requirements,
2. has a passing grade in the class work,
3. is prevented from completing the assigned work for
serious reasons,
4. has consulted the instructor prior to the grading
period, and the instructor has determined that the
student can realistically complete the work within one
semester.
An Incomplete will remain as such unless removed by the
instructor within one semester. The Incomplete is ignored
when computing the GPA. An Incomplete can be
extended beyond one semester only upon petition to the
academic dean.
Repetition of courses with D IF INC grades
Only courses for which D, F, and NC were assigned may
be repeated for a higher grade/CR. Courses may be
repeated only once. In cases of repeated courses, the
units are counted once and the higher grade is computed
in the GPA.
Withdrawal From Courses
The grade W indicates withdrawal from a course,
according to the following policy: Withdrawal (W)
indicates that a student withdrew from a class during the
period scheduled on the college calendar with the
approval of the instructor and advisor. After the
scheduled date, the approval of the A. A. Dean is
required. A withdrawal form must be filed in the
Registrar's office to have an official withdrawal with the
grade of W. The W carries no connotation of quality of
student performance and is not calculated in the grade
point average. Students who do not officially withdraw
receive a grade of F.
Transcripts
Transcripts are issued at the written request of students
or graduates to the office of the registrar. The first
transcript is free. All other transcripts are $2.00 each. One
week should be allowed for processing.
Full payment of all expenses incurred during a given term
or semester must be made before the credit for courses
taken during that term or semester will be recorded on
the student's transcript.
Academic Petitions
Any academic policy or regulation (e.g., degree
requirements, academic dismissal, etc.) may be waived or
modified for good reason for individual students by use
of a petition form. Reasons must be presented by the
student. After consultation with the student, the
student's advisor and department chairman as
appropriate, the dean of the A. A. program has the
authority to approve or disapprove any petition. The
dean for academic development has the authority to
approve or disapprove any petition for any academic
program at Mount St. Mary's College. A copy of any
approved petition must be sent to the office of the
registrar to be placed in the student's permanent file.
Withdrawal From College
Students thinking of withdrawing from college should
schedule an exit interview with an academic advisor or
the dean in order to explore other options or assistance.
Students who must withdraw from the college at any
time must file a withdrawal notice in the office of the
registrar. Forms are available from the office of the
academic dean. Honorable dismissal may be granted
when this form is filed.
Students who leave the college in good standing for one
semester and do not attend another postsecondary
institution in the interim period may re-enroll through
the office of the registrar. Other students wishing to
re-enter must file an application for readmission with the
admissions office.
Probation
A student is placed on probation if she fails to maintain a
2.0 GPA for all courses undertaken in a term. A student
on probation must achieve a GPA of 2.0 or higher during
the following term in order to be readmitted to regular
standing.
Dismissal
A student is subject to dismissal for the following
reasons:
1. Failure to maintain a minimum GPA of 1.0 during any
term.
2. Failure to maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0 during a
probationary term.
The A. A. dean has the power to dismiss students and to
suspend dismissal. She may also recommend that the
Admissions Committee reinstate a dismissed student on a
probationary basis.
When extenuating circumstances, such as prolonged
illness, account for the student's disqualification, she may
be permitted, on petition to the dean, to continue on
probation until the next term.
Enrollment in the college implies willingness on the part
of the student to comply with the requirements and
regulations of the college. If the student fails to comply
with these requirements and regulations, or if it is
determined by the dean for Associate in Arts programs
and the associate dean for student development that she
is not able to benefit from the opportunities offered by
the college, her withdrawal may be requested even
though she is charged with no specific breach of
discipline.
Associate Degree Program/17
Student Development
Mount St. Mary's College provides students with
programs and experiences conducive to personal,
cultural, ethical, social and intellectual growth. Student
initiative and responsibility are encouraged in an
atmosphere of close interrelation among students,
faculty, administration and staff.
Membership on various college committees permits
interaction with members of the faculty and
administration and allows for student contribution to the
policy and procedures of the college.
These and other opportunities supply the broadening
experience of organized discussions and planned

participate in the student placement program by applying
to the Financial Aid Office. Employment opportunities
are available both on and off campus. Jobs are filled
according to students' financial need and skill.
Counseling Services
Students may find assistance in an atmosphere of
responsible freedom in a variety of counseling situations.
Counseling may range from an informal chat to long-term
therapy as a result of referral to an outside resource. The
College Chaplain, the Student Development staff, the
faculty and the Counseling Center are all available to
serve the needs of the students.

The Business Program
The Associate in Arts Degree in Business is attained by
completion of a two-year career-oriented program with a
specialization in one of three areas: Executive Secretary,
Legal Secretary, Medical Secretary. The Medical Secretary
specialization offers core courses in the Human Services
Program, giving the student a background in gerontology
(human development and aging). This emphasis adds
another area of career opportunities in the wide field of
health-care agencies.
In each area of specialization the curriculum has been
designed to meet one of the most pressing needs of
business today: college-trained secretaries, able to accept
responsibility, make intelligent decisions, and function as
a member of a team.
The program includes courses in the skills necessary for
entry positions; in Business Administration to give the
background for advancement; and in the Liberal Arts to
provide the "plus" of wider horizons and broader
interests — all of this in an atmosphere of support and
encouragement conducive to personal growth and
development.
With this preparation, graduates of the business program
are ready for entry-level positions of responsibility in
many areas and are equipped to advance in the business
and professional world as far as their individual talents
and abilities will take them.
A special feature of the business program is the
internship which bridges the gap between formal
education and life situations by providing work
experience in a business firm, a legal office, or a
health-care setting. It helps the student to develop
personality and poise and to acquire good working
habits. In the weekly seminar session the students
evaluate experiences and develop an appreciation for and
an understanding of the relationship between formal
education and career success.
Requirements for admission into the business program:
1. Good records in high school business courses.
2. Well developed business skills (or adequate substitute
as determined through a screening process).
3. The personal qualities needed to function well in an
office or a health-care setting.

The Liberal Arts Program
The liberal arts option is available to students who are
working to develop career plans, who have not decided
on a specialization, or who wish to select a baccalaureate
major for which there is no A. A. specialization. Students
fulfill Mt. St. Mary's College general associate in arts
requirements as well as lower division requirements for
the intended major. Mt. St. Mary's College general
studies requirements for the baccalaureate degree are
recommended but not required for this option. The liberal
arts program provides experience in a variety of
disciplines so that a student has maximum freedom to
design her own program with the assistance of her
advisor.
The Nursing Program
The associate degree program offers a two-year course in
nursing which combines general studies and clinical
nursing courses during both years. The content of
nursing courses is based upon the Roy adaptation model
of nursing. Upon completion of the program, the student
is granted the Associate in Arts degree and is eligible to
write the licensing examinations to practice as a
registered nurse and to use the title R.N.
20/Associate Degree Program
Requirements for Admission to the Program
In addition to meeting the general admission
requirements, acceptance into the Department of Nursing
is determined by the Admission Committee of the
department. Admission is based upon a consideration of
the student's academic achievement, personality, health,
and aptitude for the nursing profession. There is a formal
review of the student's high school record and grade
point average, College Entrance Examination scores,
previous college experience (if any), letters of
recommendation and an interview.
In order to be eligible for review, applicants must have
achieved a minimum of 2.5 (C+) grade point average in
high school. Students who intend to major in nursing are
required to take two high school laboratory science
courses, including chemistry and either physics or a
biological science. Students who have had previous
college experience must also have achieved a 2.5
cumulative grade point average.
The faculty of the Department of Nursing have the right
and the responsibility for judging and evaluating the
quality of the student's achievement, both in the mastery
of theoretical content and in clinical competence.
Midterm warning, probation or disqualification may be
used when deemed necessary. Disqualification from the
Nursing Program will occur when a student receives a
"D" or "F" in a nursing course or a course required by
the department, i.e., Anatomy and Physiology,
Microbiology, Nutrition, Sociology and Psychology. If a
student's level of clinical practice is unsatisfactory or
unsafe, the student may be disqualified before the end of
the semester. In the event of unsatisfactory performance,
which could result in the student's disqualification, the
student's record is reviewed by the faculty before a final
evaluation is made and action taken. Reinstatement will
be granted only by special action of the Admission
Committee of the Nursing Department.
A student will bring a written report of a chest X-Ray,
up-dated immunizations, and a physical examination done
in the late spring or summer preceding the first clinical
assignment, and another before beginning the second
clinical year of the program.
During the clinical portion of the program, students must
carry malpractice insurance obtained through the Student
Nurse Association of California organization.
A program exists for LVNs who have the general studies
requirements of the first year to challenge first year
nursing courses and move directly into the second year.
The course NUR 40 is taken prior to beginning the second
year course.

The Pre-School Teaching
Program
The Associate Degree Program with a specialization in
Pre-School Teaching is the first step in the career-ladder
program in teaching offered by Mount St. Mary's
College.
The two-year program at the Doheny Campus fulfills the
requirements for a Child Center Instructional Permit with
postponement of requirements. These requirements as
established by the Commission for Teacher Preparation
and Licensing and the State Board of Education are the
following:
a. Sixty semester hours of course work, including at least
twelve semester hours related to the major;
b. Field work course in a pre-school program.
This permit is valid for two years and may be renewed for
successive two-year periods if, during these periods, the
student takes a minimum of four units in a subject field
related to the major.
At the end of the two-year program, the student may
begin to teach in a children's center (pre-kindergarten) or
transfer to the four-year program at the Chalon Campus
to complete a bachelor of arts degree with a major in
Child Development which qualifies the student for the
Child Center Instructional Permit. Another alternative is
to transfer to the Chalon Campus to complete the
requirements for the bachelor of arts degree with a
diversified major and the preliminary Multi-Subject
Teaching Credential. The fifth year requirements for this
credential could be met with the Specialist Teaching
Credential — Early Childhood Education. For other
California teaching credentials and for a description of the
graduate programs leading to a Master of Science in
Education degree, see the Graduate Section of this
bulletin.
Students in the Education Department fulfill the state
requirement in American History and Institutions for all
credentials by satisfying the Contemporary Political
Experience (CPE) requirement. (See p. 28.)
The Associate Degree Program
The teacher of the pre-school child must have ability of a
special sort. She must be able to establish rapport with
the very young child and his family, and she must be able
to sustain him in his needs. To do this, she needs wide
knowledge and a mastery of the tools of learning. Course
work, including observation and supervised teaching, is
designed to achieve these basic goals within a two-year
period.
Criteria for Admission Into the Pre-School Teaching Program
Students entering this program must meet the general
admission requirements of the associate degree program.
Academic ability, health, personality, and ability in basic
skills (reading, arithmetic, language, handwriting, and
spelling) are all considered. Letters of recommendation
and the personal interview are important.

Studies Program.
The General Studies Program
An educated person is one who is not only academically
prepared in an area of specialization but also one who has
knowledge and appreciation of the diverse fields of
human endeavor. To achieve this, a student is expected
to explore areas of learning outside the major through the
general studies program. Intended to expand the
student's world, the requirements include units in
religious studies and philosophy as the student reflects
on questions of values and meaning in human experience
and grapples with the mystery of the divine; units in
humanities as one explores the creative and artistic
expressions of humankind; units in the natural sciences
as one confronts and examines the physical world; and
28/Bachelors Degree Programs
unts in the social and behavioral sciences, as one
approaches avenues to understanding the complexity of
the human person as a social, political being.
In addition to this, the college expects that every
educated person should have the ability to express one's
thoughts with clarity and be knowledgeable about
government and its structure and organization.
Moreover, students earning a bachelor of arts degree are
expected to study a foreign language in order to better
appreciate diverse peoples and cultures.

Students whose native language is not English have
another alternative. They may satisfy the requirement
by demonstrating full academic proficiency in English
as a second language. Full academic proficiency is
equivalent to (1) passing the TOEFL examination with
scores above level nine; or (2) sequential work in ESL
to raise student performance to level nine or above.
In the case of a bilingual or multilingual student, the
Department of Foreign Languages will determine
which is the student's first, or native language, and
which is the second, or foreign langauge.
3. Writing Competency (0-7 units).
A student may fulfill the writing competency
requirement by successfully completing the college
writing program (1978-79: ENG 1AB or ENG 4, 1AB).
Learning Assistance Center
In order to enable each student to achieve maximum
benefit from the academic programs at the college, a
Learning Assistance Program is available. Students
whose previous performance would indicate they might
experience academic difficulty at Mount St. Mary's
College take part in the program through assessment
testing and follow-up programs in composition, reading,
and math.
The center provides referral and individualized and
group sessions. A volunteer program of student tutors in
composition, chemistry, and other areas as need dictates
is also provided.
Placement and assessment testing are available to all
students who request it. Students may be referred to the
Learning Assistance Center by faculty, or deans, or may
seek assistance themselves. Lab fees may be assessed for
long-term use of the Center.
Academic Counseling Center and Services
Mount St. Mary's College is currently implementing an
Academic Counseling Center. This center will provide on
an ongoing basis academic counseling and referral
services.
Once a student has been admitted to the college, she will
be assigned an academic advisor, in the area of her major if
she is ready to declare an academic major, or a liberal arts
advisor if she is undecided. A special student-to-student
assistant will meet with each new student to answer any
questions and to discuss college requirements. The
student's academic program will be planned with an
academic advisor who will further clarify college policies
and procedures.
Although the college makes every effort to provide
academic counseling to the student, it is ultimately the
individual student's responsibility to see that all General
Studies and major requirements have been fulfilled.
Independent Study/Directed Reading
Opportunity for independent study and directed reading
is available to qualified students. In independent study,
the student has responsibility for planning,
implementing, and presenting the project; the faculty
member approves the project, meets with the student
several times in the term, and evaluates the final results.
In directed reading, the faculty member shares the
responsibility with the student, generally planning the
readings and/or projects and meeting with the student
regularly.
Guidelines for Independent Study /Directed Reading:
1. Introductory courses to a discipline will not be taken in
this mode.
2. Freshmen will take neither independent study nor
directed reading.
3. Neither independent study nor directed reading will
be taken in Interterm to fulfill a General Studies
requirement.
4. No more than two independent studies or directed
readings will be taken in any one semester.
5. In extraordinary circumstances, the above guidelines
may be waived by petition.
Prior to registering for independent or directed study, the
student discusses plans with the sponsoring faculty
member, prepares a proposal which should include goals,
methodology, bibliography, target dates, and evaluative
criteria, and files an approval form for the projected study
in the office of the academic dean.
Educational Alternatives Program
The Educational Alternatives Program is available to the
student interested in giving further creative direction to
her own education. The EAP student is encouraged to
utilize alternative modes of education and to assume
Bachelors Degree Programs/31
leadership in initiating educational and cultural
experiences. Admission to EAP presumes the ability on
the part of the student to engage in independent study.
Freshmen are eligible to apply for membership after the
successful completion of their first semester at Mount St.
Mary's College.
With the approval of the academic dean, EAP students of
demonstrated ability may also apply to earn a bachelors
degree in an individually constructed program of study
directed by a board of three faculty members.
ROTC
Through a cross-town agreement, Mount St. Mary's
College students may take part in the Loyola-Marymount
University Air Force ROTC program. (See courses listed
under Aerospace Studies.)
Army and Air Force ROTC programs are available to
qualified Mount St. Mary's College students through
agreement with UCLA.
Further information may be obtained from the Office of
the Academic Dean.
Interterm
Full-time students at Mount St. Mary's College are
expected to participate in the Interterm program as part
of the academic year. During the month of January,
students will ordinarily concentrate on a single activity.
Thus, the student should plan on devoting her full time
(30-40 hours a week) to the study she chooses to pursue.
Opportunities for interdepartmental work, for in-depth
study in one area, for research, for internships, for
experience-oriented courses, for independent study, and
for travel will be available during Interterm.
Opportunities are also available for students to participate
in Interterm experiences at other colleges on an exchange
basis.
Students are encouraged to explore interest areas both
inside and outside their major department on either the
Chalon or the Doheny campus. A maximum of two
Interterm courses (during the four years) may be taken in
any one department. Students should also note that a
maximum of six non-required units in special programs
may be counted towards a degree.
A maximum of four units may be taken during an
Interterm session. These units are not computed with the
12-17 units which a full-time student is allowed to take
during the fall term or during the spring term.
Enrollment in Interterm courses will be determined on a
first come, first serve basis. However, any senior who
enrolls in a class during the registration period may have
first preference.
All courses taken during the Interterm period must be
completed by the end of January. Incompletes may not be
given except in extraordinary circumstances and with the
consent of the dean.
Junior Year Abroad
Mount St. Mary's College offers several opportunities for
foreign study during one or both terms of the junior year.
Arrangements have been made with the following foreign
universities to accept students from Mount St. Mary's
College and to transfer their grades: La Universidad
Iberoamericana, Mexico City, Mexico; Laval University,
Quebec, Canada; The Institute of European Studies,
Vienna, Austria. In addition, other foreign universities
may be approved by the academic dean on an individual
basis.
Students who wish to take part in this program must
obtain the approval of the academic dean and the
chairman of their major department. They must qualify
by a grade point average of 2.5. If they plan to attend
classes in which the lectures are given in a foreign
language, they should have sufficient proficiency in that
language before entering the program.
To facilitate transfer of credits from foreign universities,
students should observe the following procedure:
1. Work out with the assistance of their advisors, an
acceptable program of courses for the year; a record of
the approved program is kept on file in the office of
the academic dean.
2. Maintain status as Mount St. Mary's College students
by registering in the office of the registrar for the year
abroad; the fee for registration is $35.00 per semester.
3. Register as regular students at the foreign university
and request that transcripts of credits be sent to the
registrar at Mount St. Mary's College; courses taken
abroad are treated in the same manner as other
transfer courses.
The GPA earned by a student during the year abroad is
included in determining the student's overall GPA for the
conferral of honors at graduation.
Further information may be obtained from the office of
the academic dean.

letter-graded units at Mount St. Mary's College. The
student's grade point average will be calculated on the
basis of grades earned at Mount St. Mary's College as
well as grades transferred into the College at time of
matriculation. Courses at another institution after
matriculation are not counted into the cumulative grade
point average, with the exception of approved junior year
abroad programs.
Placement and Acceleration
Acceleration Program for High School Students
Superior high school juniors or seniors who are
recommended by their principals may be permitted to
enroll in regular on-campus classes and earn college
credit. A special reduced fee is available for 1-6 units per
semester.
Advanced Placement
Students who earn scores of 3, 4, or 5 in Advanced
Placement Examinations (ETS) may receive credit for
equivalent courses provided they are accepted and
registered students at Mount St. Mary's College.
Students taking the Advanced Placement Examinations
should arrange to have test results sent to the Office of
Admissions.
Placement Examinations
Examinations used to place a student at a level of study
may result in lower levels of study being waived. No
credit will be awarded as a result of these placement
examinations.
Credit by Examination, Extra-Institutional Learning, and
Non-Collegiate Coursework
Mount St. Mary's College recognizes that learning can
and often does occur outside the formal setting of the
classroom. The college provides for this in the following
ways: credit by examination, credit for extra-institutional
learning, and credit for non-collegiate coursework.
Credit by Exam
There are two ways a student may demonstrate her
knowledge of content areas: by challenging course exams
and by taking standard proficiency exams. Credit for
certain courses in the college may be earned by
successfully passing departmental exams. A list of these
courses is published each fall. A student must notify the
department of her intention to challenge a departmental
course one month in advance of the date of the exam.
Successfully passing the exam, she may receive credit for
the course. A fee is required to conduct and process this;
see Tuition and Fees.
Students may also take externally administered exams
such as CLEP (College-Level Examination Program from
CEEB) and PEP (Professional Equivalency Program from
ACT) in those areas approved by the college. Information
about these exams and a current list of approved exams
are available from the dean's office, the registrar's office,
or the Academic Counseling Center. Students who have
taken CLEP or PEP exams prior to enrolling at Mount St.
Mary's College must present original transcripts from
ACT or CEEB in order to receive credit.
Credit for non- traditional extra-institutional learning
When a student has acquired college-level skills and
learning relating to her academic goals through
Bachelors Degree Programs/33
experiences such as work, travel, and reading, she may
have this learning evaluated for credit by preparing a
portfolio containing an application supporting evidence
and documents and a narrative relating the
extra-institutional learning to her educational objectives.
Credit for college-level courses offered by non-collegiate agencies
Students who have taken courses sponsored by business,
industry, the armed forces, or other non-collegiate
agencies may apply for an evaluation of these learning
experiences. If the course has previously been evaluated
by the American Council on Education (ACE) and
appears in The National Guide, a student may not have to
prepare a portfolio. In all other cases, a student
requesting credit for non-collegiate courses must prepare
a portfolio for evaluation by a faculty committee.
These portfolios should be prepared according to the
guidelines in CAEL Student Handbook with the guidance of
an advisor. If the portfolio is approved by a faculty
committee, the student may earn college credit
appropriate to the experiences. A fee is required to
conduct and process this evaluation; see Tuition and
Fees. For further details, see the Associate Academic
Dean or the Director of the Academic Counseling Center.
A student may earn a maximum of 30 units for credit by
exam, 10 units in credit for extra-institutional learning,
and 10 units in credit for non-collegiate course work. All
units earned in this manner are held in escrow until the
student has successfully completed 30 units of course
work.
Credit examinations and portfolio evaluations will
ordinarily be given only to students who are admitted to
the college. After satisfactorily completing the
examination or evaluation, the student will register and
receive credit for the corresponding course(s). Only
"credit" (i.e., no letter grades) will be given: no record of
failures will appear on the transcript.
Classification of Students
To be classified as a sophomore, a student must have
satisfactorily completed 30 semester units (10 standard
courses), or the unit equivalent; as a junior, 60 semester
units (20 standard courses); as a senior, 90 semester units
(30 standard courses).
A student with full-time status must carry 12-17 units per
semester. Part-time students carry less than 12 units per
semester. Foreign students (with nonimmigrant "F-l"
student status) enrolled in beginning ESL (on or off
campus) plus nine semester units may be considered as
students with full-time status.
Special students may take a course or courses for
academic credit without following a prescribed
curriculum toward a degree. After twelve units of study,
a special student, unless exempted by the dean, should
make application for admission to the college.
Auditors attend class sessions regularly but are not
obligated to take examinations. They receive no credit for
courses audited.
Ordinarily a student should be a sophomore before
enrolling in upper division courses. It is the student's
responsibility to be aware of prerequisites or
requirements for enrolling in upper division courses.
Declaration of Major
Students generally declare their major not later than the
second semester of the sophomore year. Transfer
students may declare their major at entrance or no later
than second semester sophomore year. Approval of the
departmental chairman is required. Students who fail to
attain a GPA of 2.0 (C average) in work taken in the
prerequisites for the major may, at the option of the
department, be denied the privilege of entering that
major. The student must maintain a GPA of 2.0 (C
average) in all her major courses. After entering the
junior or senior year a student may change a major only
with the consent of the chairman of the department to
which she is transferring.
Degree Application
May graduates must file for the appropriate degree
during the Fall semester of the senior year. Students who
plan to graduate at other times should file for the degree
no later than three weeks after the start of the final
semester.
Attendance
Since regularity and punctuality are essential to the
successful pursuit of study, the number and character of
student absences will be taken into account in
determining academic grades. Unless proof to the
contrary is furnished, an instructor will assume that an
absence is without serious cause.
There is no provision for a system of allowed cuts and
absences. In the case of a prolonged absence because of
illness or other serious reasons the recommendation of
the academic dean is required for the student to be
reinstated in class. Students may be dropped from a class
for excessive absences when in the opinion of the
instructor, further enrollment in the class would be of
little value to the student. Occasionally, a student is
excused from class attendance by the academic dean in
order to represent the college at some function. The
student should inform her instructors of such excused
absences and secure from them assignments.
Course Examinations
All undergraduate students are required to take the
regular course examinations.
34/Bachelors Degree Programs
Grades
At the end of each term, the student receives a grade in
every class. The grade indicates results of examinations,
term reports, and general scholastic standing in the entire
course.
A minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 is required
in lower division work before a student can be granted
junior standing. The same GPA is required in upper
division work before the student can be graduated.
The student's grade point average is computed according
to this scale:
A, excellent, 4 grade points per unit
B, good, 3 grade points per unit
C, average, 2 grade points per unit
D, poor but passing, 1 grade point per unit
F, failure, 0 grade points per unit
The following grades are not computed in the GPA:
AU, audit
CR, C or better; credit given
I, incomplete
IP, deferred grading for graduate thesis, senior project, or
undergraduate research work in progress.
NC, D or F; no credit given
W, withdrawn
Grading Policies
CreditINo Credit
To encourage a wider choice of courses by lessening the
student's concern for the grade point average, selected
courses may be taken for CR/NC. The following
regulations apply to this option:
Students may apply a maximum of 9 semester units of
CR/NC to the Associate in Arts degree, and a maximum
of 18 semester units of CR/NC to the baccalaureate
degree; not more than 5 units each term may be taken for
CR/NC.
Courses taken for CR/NC may not be applied to the
General Studies requirements; nor may they be applied
to requirements for the students's major, except at the
discretion of the major department.
The student must indicate intent to take a course CR/NC
no later than the last day to drop a class, as indicated on
the academic calendar, by filing with the Registrar a form
signed by the advisor, the instructor, and the student. A
change to letter grade may not be petitioned after the
form has been filed. Signings are a form of active consent
and not pro forma.
Incomplete
An Incomplete is given only when a student:
1. has fulfilled the majority of the course requirements,
2. has a passing grade in the class work,
3. is prevented from completing the assigned work for
serious reasons.
4. has consulted the instructor prior to the grading
period, and the instructor has determined that the
student can realistically complete the work within one
semester.
An Incomplete will remain as such unless removed by the
instructor within one semester. The Incomplete is ignored
when computing the GPA. An Incomplete can be
extended beyond one semester only upon petition to the
academic dean.
Repetition of courses with D IF INC grades
Only courses for which D, F, and NC were assigned may
be repeated for a higher grade/CR. Courses may be
repeated only once. In cases of repeated courses the units
are counted once and the higher grade is computed in the
GPA.
Withdrawal From Courses
The grade W indicates withdrawal from a course,
according to the following policy: Withdrawal (W)
indicates that a student withdrew from a class during the
period scheduled on the college calendar with the
approval of the instructor and advisor. After the
scheduled date, permission of the Dean is required. A
withdrawal form must be filed in the Registrar's office to
have an official withdraw with the grade of W.
The W carries no connotation of quality of student
performance and is not calculated in the grade point
average. Students who do not officially withdraw receive
a grade of F.
Transcripts
Transcripts are issued at the written request of students
or graduates to the office of the registrar. The first
transcript is free. All other transcripts are $2.00 each. One
week should be allowed for processing.
Full payment of all expenses incurred during a given term
or semester must be made before the credit for courses
taken during that term or semester will be recorded on
the student's transcript.
Academic Petitions
Any academic policy or regulation (e.g., degree
requirements, academic dismissal, etc.) may be waived or
modified for good reason for individual students by use
of a petition form. Reasons must be presented by the
student. After consultation with the student, the
student's advisor and department chairman as
appropriate, the program dean (i.e. dean of the A. A.
program, dean of the graduate division, etc.) has the
authority to approve or disapprove any petition. The
dean for academic development has the authority to
approve or disapprove any petition for any academic
program at Mount St. Mary's College. A copy of any
approved petition must be sent to the office of the
registrar to be placed in the student's permanent file.
Bachelors Degree Programs/35
Withdrawal From College
Students thinking of withdrawing from college should
schedule an exit interview with an academic advisor or
the dean in order to explore other options or assistance.
Students who must withdraw from the college at any
time must file a withdrawal notice in the office of the
registrar. Forms are available from the office of the
academic dean. Honorable dismissal may be granted
when this form is filed.
Students who leave the college in good standing for one
semester and do not attend another postsecondary
institution in the interim period may re-enroll through
the office of the registrar. Other students wishing to
re-enter must file an application for readmission with the
admissions office.
Probation
A student is placed on probation if she fails to maintain a
2.0 GPA for all courses undertaken in a term. A student
on probation must achieve a GPA of 2.0 or higher during
the following term in order to be readmitted to regular
standing.
Dismissal
A student is subject to dismissal for the following
reasons:
1. Failure to maintain a minimum GPA of 1.0 during any
term.
2. Failure to maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0 during a
probationary term.
The academic dean has the power to dismiss students
and to suspend dismissal. She may also recommend that
the Admissions Committee reinstate a dismissed student
on a probationary basis.
When extenuating circumstances, such as prolonged
illness, account for the student's disqualification, she may
be permitted, on petition to the academic dean, to
continue on probation until the next term.
Enrollment in the college implies willingness on the part
of the student to comply with the requirements and
regulations of the college. If the student fails to comply
with these requirements and regulations, or if it is
determined by the dean for academic development and
the dean for student development that she is not able to
benefit from the opportunities offered by the college, her
withdrawal may be requested even though she is charged
with no specific breach of discipline.
Student Development
Mount St. Mary's College provides students with
programs and experiences conducive to personal,
cultural, ethical, social and intellectual growth. Student
initiative and responsibility are encouraged in an
atmosphere of close interrelation among students,
faculty, administration and staff.
Student Activities
Students are encouraged to become members of various
college committees where, with members of the faculty
and administration, they may contribute to the policy and
procedures involved in their own educational process.
The limited enrollment at Mount St. Mary's College offers
many opportunities for participation in student
government and campus organizations. In fact, a priority
of the college is to provide women with distinctive
leadership opportunities.
To supply the broadening experience which organized
discussions and planned activities furnish and to foster
interest in the special fields which students are pursuing,
many opportunities and organizations are open to Mount
St. Mary's College students in campus life. Among them,
the Associated Students of Mount St. Mary's College sponsors
a wide range of cultural, educational, recreational,
athletic, volunteer and social activities. The governing
board of the Associated Students of Mount St. Mary's
College meets at regular intervals to analyze student
concerns, reflect student attitudes on questions of
administrative policy, promote student activities,
consider appointments, and appropriate student body
funds. Residence Council addresses residence issues and
promotes activities. Mount St. Mary's College has a
student-run newspaper and yearbook. Several of the
students' special interests include Athenaeum which
sponsors theater excursions in Southern California, an
active Model United Nations program (annually attends
New York conference), the Mount Chorus and Orchestra,
Pi Theta Mu (an honorary service sorority), professional
student affiliations (Student California Teachers'
Association, Student Nurses' Association of California,
Women in Consumer Studies, Women of Management
and Enterprise, the American Chemical Society Student
Affiliates), and a local social sorority, Kappa Delta Chi.
In addition to the many on-campus activities, Mount St.
Mary's College's urban location offers the cultural and
recreational opportunities available in the greater Los
Angeles area.
Counseling Services
Students at Mount St. Mary's College may find assistance
in an atmosphere of responsible freedom in one or more
counseling situations. Counseling may range anywhere
from a fifteen-minute informational chat with an
instructor on the campus to a long-term therapy as a
result of a referral to an outside resource through the
college health services or the department of psychology.
Students (either individually or in a group) have the
opportunity to talk over problems of concern in academic,
personal, or vocational matters in an atmosphere of
acceptance and in a confidential manner, with a staff of
professionally trained psychologists who are also
36/Bachelors Degree Programs
members of the teaching staff. The goals of such
counseling are the realization and development of
individual resources and increased self-understanding.
Psychological testing is also provided when it is deemed
appropriate.
Campus Ministry
Campus Ministry is a pastoral apostolate of service to
members of the entire Mount Community through
concern and care for persons, the proclamation of the
Gospel and the celebration of the Eucharist. Campus
Ministry provides for: retreats, liturgical celebrations,
religious activities, counseling, interfaith discussions and
social action. The College Chaplain works with the
Campus Ministry Office to provide students with a sense
of Christian living.
The Student Placement Office
The Student Placement Office offers a variety of services
and employment opportunities for enrolled students. Job
opportunities on campus are available in the library, the
food service, the student bookstore, the switchboard,
faculty offices and other places. Jobs are filled according
to students' financial need and skill. Students interested
in on-campus employment are encouraged to file
applications early in the Financial Aid Office and in the
Student Placement Office. Off-campus jobs, including
seasonal and summer employment opportunities, are
posted in the Student Placement Office and Campus
Center.
The Office of Career Planning
The office of career planning assists the student in finding
the major or career best suited to her interests. The
director of career planning is available to discuss
individual students' planning and offers seminars to
provide students with the self evaluative tools, labor
trend information, and job search skills that will enable
them to build satisfying and influential careers. The
director will also aid the student in using a research
library of information on various careers related to college
majors.
Residence Life
Primary emphasis in the residence halls is on a close
interrelationship of students and staff to create a social
situation which fosters the formation of personal values
and integrity. On-campus living affords increased
opportunities to develop personal relationships and to
participate in the many enriching programs which Mount
St. Mary's College offers. Student resident life is largely
self-regulated, under the direction of the residence
council which is composed of elected residence officers
and floor representatives, resident assistants, faculty
members in residence, the associate director of residence
and the director of residence.
In addition to the director of residence and associate
director of residence, several other staff members help to
contribute to the general well-being of the resident
students. These include the assistant director, a
dormitory assistant, and senior students who serve as
resident assistants. A religious faculty member lives on
each floor of the residence halls.
The residence staff gives much time and attention to
assigning rooms and roommates. They make every effort
to provide a living/learning environment which will allow
the student both privacy and the freedom to develop
relationships conducive to her social and educational
growth.
Housing arrangements for unmarried students are the
responsibility of the students and of their parents. The
college offers assistance in making these arrangements.
Health Services (Chalon Campus)
The Mount St. Mary's College Health Center offers the
services of a registered nurse and a part-time physician to
students, administration, faculty and staff. Emphasis is
placed on preventive medicine. Consultations,
examinations, first aid treatment, whirlpool, ultrasonic
therapy, hydrocollator therapy, clinical laboratory tests
and medical counseling for various matters (e.g., weight
control and skin problems) are available.
Students living away from their own homes and all
nursing majors are required to carry health and accident
insurance. This applies even if the student lives with
relatives if these are not legal guardians. Evidence of
coverage must be presented at registration. The college
offers a reasonably priced insurance. Students wishing
this particular coverage must obtain it before the second
week of each semester.
Incoming students, freshmen and transfer, must submit
the results of a recent physical examination (within the
previous six months) by a private medical doctor to the
Health Center prior to entrance. Thereafter, members of
the college community are encouraged to avail
themselves of the Health Center for yearly physical
examinations and laboratory testing.
Bachelors Degree Programs/37
Bachelors Degree Programs-
Descriptions and Requirements
American Studies
What is distinctive about American culture? What are the
developing trends in American society, in public policy,
in consumer behavior? What values do Americans
treasure? The major in American Studies focuses on the
influences of the past and present which have affected
American character, experience, and institutions.
This major is of particular value to students interested in
entering government service, business, economics,
management, political writing, teaching, and law.
It is possible to have a double major combining American
Studies with a major in English or in history. Either
combination is excellent.

Art
The art major is directed toward several goals. It provides
the undergraduate student with a thorough and
comprehensive understanding of art as an essential
activity of man. It prepares students who wish to
continue as professional artists or teachers of art. It offers
areas of specialization for those students who will pursue
graduate study in art.
The Bachelor of Arts Degree in Art offers the student
thorough course experiences in drawing, design,
painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics,
fiber design, and art history.

The major in Business is designed to prepare students for
careers in business and for graduate study.
The emphasis in Accounting qualifies students to enter
the most rapidly expanding areas of business activity,
namely, accounting and computer science. Graduates will
not only be qualified for employment with public
accounting and computer firms, but they will also be
minimally qualified to take the certified public accountant
(CPA) examination.
The emphasis in Business Administration offers a
curriculum centered around the practical, applied courses
that qualify students to enter administrative positions
immediately after graduation. Courses cover the broad
spectrum of business activity and allow the students to
choose from a variety of possible career opportunities —
advertising, finance, personnel, and retailing.
The emphasis in Fashion Merchandising prepares
students for positions in retail buying, selling and
promotion of fashion apparel and accessories in
department stores and specialty shops. A graduate may
find employment as a buyer, fashion consultant, fashion
coordinator, department manager or researcher of market
trends. Business courses included in the emphasis make
available the option of self-employment as
owner/manager of a boutique.
The emphasis in Marketing prepares a student for careers
in marketing, marketing research, sales, and real estate.
Information for Majors
Business Internship (BUS 190) is restricted to seniors
whose academic performance qualifies them for the

Nursing
Baccalaureate Program
The baccalaureate degree program offers professional
education in nursing based upon the Roy adaptation
model of nursing. In the standard program two years of
study are spent on the college campus pursuing liberal
arts and pre-professional studies. During the last two
years the student completes the courses of the nursing
major, including clinical experience, as well as the
remainder of the general studies requirements and
electives.
Upon the completion of the degree requirements the
graduate is eligible to take the California State Board
examination for registered nurse (R.N.) licensure. The
graduate is also qualified for the Public Health Nursing
Certificate issued by the California Department of Public
Health.
In compliance with California State law an optional
three-year program is offered, in which the student
completes all pre-nursing requirements in the freshman
year, and then enters the two years of the nursing major.
After the junior year she may take the California State
Board examinations for the registered nurse (R.N.)
licensure. The senior year is spent taking liberal arts
requirements to qualify for the baccalaureate degree.
Since this option involves certain academic and
professional risks for the student, special counseling is
offered before admission to this program. Additional
information on this optional program may be obtained
upon request.
Registered nurses enrolled in the baccalaureate program
meet the same requirements as those for the basic
nursing students. Ordinarily, for courses required by the
Nursing Department, credit will be given only for those
courses taken within the past fifteen years. Provision is
made for R.N. students to receive credit for certain
pre-professional and junior-year nursing courses through
"challenge examinations." One summer course, NUR
100, Introduction to Professional Nursing, is a required
course offered during the summer session preceding the
senior year of clinical study. Information may be obtained
by writing to the department of nursing.
For a description of the Associate Degree Program, see
Doheny Campus programs.
Information for Majors in Nursing:
Admission to the Department of Nursing for enrollment
in upper division nursing courses is determined by the
Admission Committee of the department in the spring
semester of the sophomore year. The committee acts after
consideration of the student's personality; health, and
aptitude for the nursing profession. A cumulative
Bachelors Degree Programs/53
grade- point average of at least 2.5 is required, as well as a
satisfactory and consistent pattern of grades, showing a
mastery of the natural and social sciences and the use of
English.
Students who intend to major in nursing must have had
two high school laboratory science courses, including
chemistry and either physics or a biological science.
Nursing students are required to pass a basic math test
before entrance into the clinical nursing program, and to
complete an approved course in cardiopulmonary
resuscitation.
A student who receives a D or F in any course listed
under "Preparation" is responsible for repeating the
course.
The faculty of the Department of Nursing have the right
and the responsibility for judging and evaluating the
quality of the student's achievement, both in the mastery
of theoretical content and in clinical competence. If a
student's level of clinical practice is unsatisfactory or
unsafe, the student may be asked to withdrew before the
end of the semester. In the event of unsatisfactory
performance which could result in the student's
disqualification, the student's record is reviewed by the
entire team (first or second year) before a final evaluation
is made and action taken.
Departmental policy statements regarding grading,
mathematical competence, incompletes, probation,
absences, disqualification, and readmission to the
program are provided for the student at the beginning of
the nursing major.
A student will bring a written report of a chest X-Ray,
up-dated immunizations, and a physical examination done
in the late spring or summer preceding the first clinical
assignment, and another before beginning the second
clinical year of the program.
During the clinical portion of the program, students must
carry malpractice insurance obtained through the Student
Nurse Association of California organization.

contributed important information and insights to
discussions of urbanism, education, the racial situation,
and legislation to prevent poverty and to eliminate crime.
By inquiring into the structure and dynamics of modern
society, the student develops a capacity for viewing our
changing social world objectively, critically, and
creatively.

the graduate dean after all requirements for admission are
fulfilled, and after the applicant has successfully
completed at least one graduate course at Mount St.
Mary's College. Notice of admission to the program is
sent directly to the applicant.
Admission to the graduate division or to the
departmental program does not constitute advancement
to candidacy for the masters degree.
Credential Status
Admission requirements for credential programs are the
same as those for masters programs.
Candidacy
Students must be admitted to candidacy not later than
one semester before the date of completion of the
requirements for the degree. To be eligible for candidacy
for masters degree, students must
1. Have been accepted into a departmental program.
Graduate Programs/63
2. Have completed a minimum of twenty- four semester
units of graduate work or be in the final semester of
study.

Application for Degree
Candidates for the masters degree must file a formal
degree application in the graduate office. The final date
for this application is published in the current graduate
and extended day calendar.
Commencement
Candidates receiving degrees are expected to be present
at commencement.
Continuing Education
A student who holds a bachelors degree from an
accredited college or university is eligible to take courses
at the Mount even without the intention of pursuing a
graduate degree or credential. He may take either
undergraduate courses in subjects of his special interest
or graduate courses for which he is qualified.
The' student should fill out an admission form at the time
of his first registration at the Mount, at which time he will
be assigned an advisor.
Students are expected to observe the prevailing standards
of scholarship and attendance. If a student, after taking
courses at the Mount, should later alter his decision and
become an applicant for a degree, only that work may be
accepted which satisfies the requirements of the program
the student is entering, and which meets with the
approval of the department and the graduate dean.
Foreign Students
In addition to the general requirements for admission to
the graduate division, students from foreign countries are
required to present evidence of proficiency in oral and
written English and a guarantee of financial support
during their period of study at Mount St. Mary's College.
Further details will be found in Information for Prospective
Students from Other Countries which will be sent from the
graduate office upon request.
Academic Policies
The Graduate Council has general supervision over those
rules and regulations of the college which concern
graduate work and advanced degrees. It determines the
qualifications for membership in the graduate division
faculty and approves all graduate programs.
Responsibility for complying at the proper time with
regulations and procedures rests with the student. The
written authorization of the graduate dean is required for
any exception to printed regulations. Since graduate
degrees are awarded for scholarly accomplishment, any
quantitative requirements of specific degree programs
must be considered as minimum standards.
The student's program should be planned as an
integrated area of study. The program will be directed by
the professor in charge of graduate studies in the major
department.
Residence and Time Limit
All courses toward the masters degree should ordinarily
be taken in residence at Mount St. Mary's College. The
minimum time of residence for the degree is three
semesters, or one semester and three summer sessions,
or two semesters and one summer session, or four
summer sessions.
The degree must ordinarily be earned within five
consecutive years or nine consecutive summer sessions.
Credit will not be granted for work extending beyond
these limits. Any term or summer session in which the
student fails to register in the graduate division is
included in these limits.
Students may work concurrently toward a masters degree
and a credential. Such a combined objective will generally
require more total credit hours and longer residence.
A leave of absence for a specified period of time may be
obtained by petition. Forms are available in the Graduate
Office. The granting of a leave of absence does not
automatically change the time limit for completing the
masters and/or credential programs.
Graduate Study in Summer Session
The graduate division offers summer session programs
which will usually enable the student to complete his
work for the masters degree in five summers. Graduate
students in the summer session are subject to the same
scholastic requirements as those in the regular academic
year.
Credit Limit
The number of semester hours of work taken in the
respective terms or summer sessions shall be determined
by consultation with the departmental advisors. Students
normally carry nine semester hours of graduate work
during a regular term and six semester hours of graduate
work during the summer session.
Course Numbers
While all of the work counted toward the masters degree
must be of distinctly advanced character, not all the
courses need be taken from the 200-level. With the
approval of the graduate advisor in the major field, a
64 Graduate Programs
maximum of nine semester units of upper division
courses suitable for a well-rounded program may be
included provided that the student earns at least a B
grade in them.
Grades
The grade point average for all work presented for an
advanced degree must be at least 3.0 or B average. A
required course in which an unsatisfactory grade has
been received must be repeated.
The student's grade point average is computed according
to this scale:
A, excellent, 4 grade points per unit
B, good, 3 grade points per unit
C, average, 2 grade points per unit
D, poor but passing, 1 grade point per unit
F, failure, 0 grade points per unit
The following grades are not computed in the GPA:
AU, audit
CR, C or better; credit given
I, incomplete
IP, deferred grading for graduate thesis, senior project, or
undergraduate research work in progress.
NC, D or F; no credit given
W, withdrawn
Grading Policies
CreditINo Credit
CR/NC applies only to the Supervised Field
Experience/Work in graduate programs.
Incomplete
An Incomplete is given only when a student:
1. has fulfilled the majority of the course requirements,
2. has a passing grade in the class work,
3. is prevented from completing the assigned work for
serious reasons,
4. has consulted the instructor prior to the grading
period, and the instructor has determined that the
student can realistically complete the work within one
semester.
An Incomplete will remain as such unless removed by the
instructor within one semester. The Incomplete is ignored
when computing the GPA.
An Incomplete can be extended beyond one semester only
upon petition to the academic dean.
Repetition of courses with D IF INC grades
Only courses for which D, F, and NC were assigned may
be repeated for a higher grade/CR. Courses may be
repeated only once. In cases of repeated courses, the
units are counted once and the higher grade is computed
in the GPA.
Withdrawal from Courses
The grade W indicates withdrawal from a course,
according to the following policy:
Withdrawal (W) indicates that a student was permitted to
withdraw from a class during the period scheduled on
the college calendar with the approval of the instructor
and advisor. After the scheduled date, petition to the
Dean is required.
The W carries no connotation of quality of student
performance and is not calculated in the grade point
average. Students who do not officially withdraw receive
a grade of F.
Credit by Examination
Credit for specific courses listed in the catalog will be
given for satisfactory completion of examinations offered
by the departments. Petition to take such examinations is
made through the coordinator of the respective
department. Forms for such petitions may be obtained
from the Graduate Office.
Credit examinations will ordinarily be given only to
students who have been admitted to a graduate program
and have maintained a 3.0 GPA in at least one semester
or six units of study at Mount St. Mary's College. After
satisfactorily completing credit examinations, students
will register and receive credit for the corresponding
course(s). Only "credit" (i.e., no grade) will be given for
passing these examinations; no record of failures on these
examinations will appear on the transcript.
A maximum of nine units, which may be included in the
twenty- four units of residency, may be earned by credit
examinations.
Services and Specialist Credential Program Equivalency
Seminars are provided for those who have had
courses/experiences which apply toward the Services or
Specialist Credentials. Prior to enrollment, students must
confer with the advisor of the specific credential area. At
this time, they must present all documents (including
transcripts) and verifications of experience.
Only "credit" (no grade nor units) will be given.
Equivalency will be determined by (a) evaluation of past
experience and course work, and (b) assessment of course
content and demonstrated performance competency.
Please note: These seminars are available only to those
who wish to meet the requirements of the Services or
Specialis t Creden tials .
Transfer of Credit
A maximum of six semester hours of graduate work taken
in a recognized graduate school prior to matriculation at
Mount St. Mary's College is transferable provided that:
1. The transfer courses satisfy curriculum requirements at
Mount St. Mary's College and a grade of "B" or better
was earned;
Graduate Programs/65
2. the courses are transferred after program acceptance
and prior to candidacy for the degree. The student
may obtain Transfer of Credit forms from the graduate
office;
3. Correspondence and extension courses are not
transferable;
4. Courses must have been taken within five years of
date on which the student was accepted in a Mount
St. Mary's College graduate program.
Students once admitted to a graduate program are
expected to pursue study only at Mount St. Mary's
College. For credential students, the Ryan Act requires
residency in one college program.
Probation
Failure to maintain a 3.0 GPA places the student on
probation. A student on probation must achieve a GPA of
3.0 or higher during the next term in order to be
readmitted to regular standing and may be required to
take fewer units of work while on probation.
Dismissal
A student is subject to dismissal for failure to maintain a
3.0 GPA during probationary period. The graduate dean
and/or the graduate coucil has the power to dismiss
students and to suspend dismissal.
Withdrawal
Students who withdraw from a graduate program at any
time must file a withdrawal notice in the graduate office.
Withdrawal from a course without authorization results
in a grade of F.
Grievance Procedure
Copies of Mount St. Mary's College Graduate Student
Grievance Procedure are available upon request at the
graduate office.

This thesis provides an opportunity for the student to
obtain firsthand experience in research methods under
competent direction. The thesis should be limited in
scope and give evidence of the student's ability to
organize knowledge, to analyze critically, and to present
the results in a readable and accurate form according to
Mount St. Mary's College regulations. A brief description
of the topic and of the proposed method of investigation
must accompany each topic presented for approval.
The candidate must present his complete thesis to his
director not later than the date established in the current
academic calendar. It must be approved by the director
before being finally typed according to the prescribed
form. Two copies must be filed in the graduate office on
the date listed in the current calendar. Specific directions
regarding the format and typing of theses may be

Credential Programs
The Department of Education is accredited to recommend
students for California Teaching Credentials in both the
Multiple Subject (elementary teaching) and Single Subject
(secondary teaching). Either of these credentials may be
obtained in a four-year baccalaureate degree program.
When the student has completed the diversified or single
subject major, the professional couses, including
supervised teaching, and any other requirements of the
college for the baccalaureate degree, a Preliminary
Credential can be obtained. See Teacher Education
Programs. This Preliminary Credential is valid for
five years. Within these five years, a fifth year of
approximately 30 semester hours is required for a clear
credential. Five years of teaching experience, two of
which must be in public school in California, must be
completed to qualify for a life credential. This fifth year of
study may be used to complete a masters degree in a
subject matter area or to qualify for a Services or
Specialist Credential.
