Annotations:
1 The University is not designed or equipped to rehabilitate or incapacitate
persons who pose a substantial threat to themselves or to others It may be
necessary, therefore, to renrove those individuals from the campus and to
sever the institutional relationship with them, as provided in this code of
conduct and by other University regulations *
Any punishment imposed in accordance with the code may have the value
of discouraging the offender and others from engaging in future
misbehavior In cases of minor disciplinary violations, the particular form of
punishment may also be designed to draw upon the educational resources
of the University in order to bring about a lasting and reasoned change in
behavior The underlying rationale for punishment need not rest on
deterrence or "reform'' alone, however A just punishment may also be
imposed because it is "desen/ed" and because punishment for willful
offenses affirms the autonomy and integrity of the offender The latter
concept was well expressed by D J B Hawkins in his essay "Punishment
and Moral Responsibility" in 7 fytodern Law Review 205
The vice of regarding punishment entirely from the points of view of
reformation and deterrence lies precisely in forgetting that a |U8t
punishment is deserved The punishment of men then ceases to be
essentially different from the training of animals, and the way is open
for the totalitarian state to undenal<e the forcible improvement of its
citizens without regard to whether their conduct has made them morally
liable to social coercion or not But merit and demerit, reward and
punishment, have a different significance as applied to men and as
applied to animals A dog may be called a good dog or a bad dog, but
his goodness or badness can be finally explained in terms of heredity
and environment A man, however, is a person, and we instinctively
recognise that he has a certain ultimate personal responsibility for at
least some of his actions Hence merit and demerit, reward and
punishment, have an irreducible individual significance as applied to
men This is the dignity and the tragedy of the human person
A similar view was expressed by Justice Powell, dissenting in Goss v.
Lopez (42 L Ed 2d 725. 745)
Education in any meaningful sense includes the inculcation of an
understanding m each pupil of the necessity of rules and obedience
thereto This understanding is no less important than learning to read
and write One who does not comprehend the meaning and necessity
of discipline is handicapped not merely in his education but throughout
his subsequent life In an age when the home and church play a
diminishing role in shaping the character and value judgments of the
young, a heavier responsibility falls upon the schools When an
immature student merits censure for his conduct, he is rendered a
disservice if appropriate sanctions are not applied
2, An effort is made in the code to use a simplified numbering and lettering
system, without use of Roman numerals or subsets of letters and numbers
Any part of the code can be found by reference to one number and one
letter (e g . part 10 (a) explains the meaning of expulsion)
3 Culpable conduct should include conscious acts posing a substantial risk
of harm to others (e g throwing a heavy object out a tenth floor window
above a sidewalk) If the act itself, however, is unintended (eg one is
distracted by a noise while climbing a flight of stairs and drops a heavy
obiect) the individual may have failed to use reasonable care, but is not
normally deserving of the moral stigma associated with a "conviction" for a
disciplinary offense
4 Former students may be charged for violations which allegedly occurred
dunng their enrollment at the University.
5 Colleges and Universities are not expected to develop disciplinary
regulations which are written with the scope or precision of a criminal
code Rare occasions may arise when conduct is so inherently and
patently dangerous to the individual or to others that extraordinary action
not specifically authorized in the rules must be taken
6 The terms "suspension" and "interim suspension" are to be distinguished
throughout the code and are not interchangeable
7 Disciplinary removal from University housing should be distinguished from
administrative removal for violations of the residence contract The latter
does not leave students with a disciplinary record and does not come
under the pun/iew of this code
8 The standard set forth here represents the minimal procedural protection to
be accorded to students charged with most disciplinary violalions
Students who are subject to lengthy suspensions or to expulsion may be
entitled to more formal procedures, including a hearing with a right to
cross-examine the witnesses against them Goss v Lopez 419 US S65
(1975)
9 The Supreme Court has recently rejected the theory that slate schools are
bound by principles of federal administrative law requiring agencies to
follow their own regulations Board ol Curators, University ol Missouri v.
Horowitz bb I Ed 2d 124. 136 See generally. 'Violations by Agencies of
Their Own Regulations' 87 Harvard Law Review 629 (1974)
10 Respondents in disciplinary proceedings may be directed to answer
questions concerning their conduct Students who refuse to answer on
grounds of the Fifth Amendment privilege may be informed that tfie hearing
panel could draw negative inferences from their refusal which might result
in their suspension or dismissal If the student then elects to answer, his
statements could not be used against him in either state or federal court

Code of Student Conduct 13
sel lorth in Schedules I through V in Article 27, part 279 o( the Annotated
Code of Maryland.
12 Colleges and Universities should be a forum lor the tree expression ol
ideas In the recent past, however, unpopular speakers have been
prevented Ironn addressing campus audiences by students who ellectively
"shouted them down " Both Yale and Stanford Universities have treated
such actions (which are to be distinguished from minor and occasional
heckling) as serious disciplinary violations See the "Report from the
Committee on Freedom ot Expression at Yale University" which is available
in the Judicial Programs Office
The following language from the Yale report may be used to elaborate
upon the intent and scope of part 9 (k) of this code
1 "There is no right to protest within a University building in such a way
that any University activity is disrupted The administration, however,
may wish to permit some symbolic dissent within a building but outside
the meeting room, for example, a single picket or a distributor of
handbills"
2 "(A] member of the audience may protest in a silent, symbolic fashion,
for example, by wearing a black arm band More active forms of
protest may be tolerated such as briefly booing, clapping hands or
heckling But any disruptive activity must stop [and not be repeated]
when the chair or an appropriate University official requests silence
3 "Nor are racial insults or any other fighting words' a valid ground for
disruption or physical attack The banning or obstruction of
lawful speech can never be justified on such grounds as that the
speech or the speaker is deemed irresponsible, offensive, unscholaFly,
or untrue "
13. A compilation of published regulations which have been reviewed and
approved by the Vice Chancellor shall be available for public inspection
during normal business hours m the Judicial Programs Office
14 The "controlled substances" or "illegal drugs" prohibited in this section are
set forth in Schedules I through V in Article 27, part 279 of the Annotated
Code of Maryland.
15 This part and parts twelve and thirteen represent an attempt to give
needed guidance to those who are assessing penalties (vioreover, the
direction of the guidance is toward imposition of more severe disciplinary
sanctions in serious cases Nonetheless, the language concerning
"mitigating factors' is broad enough to give decisionmakers considerable
leeway to do justice", depending upon the facts in each case The burden
of establishing facts in mitigation should, of course be upon the
respondent
16 There does not seem to be any rational basis for imposing less severe
penalties for attempts than for completed violations The authors of the
Model Penal Code, for example, have written that;
To the extent that sentencing depends upon the antisocial disposition
of the actor and the demonstrated need for a corrective action, there is
likely to be little difference m the gravity of the required measures
depending on the consummation or the failure of the plan
See LaFave, Criminal Law Treatise p 453
17 These procedures are analagous to those found in the "emergency"
disciplinary rules adopted by the Board of Regents in 1971 and are
consistent with the formal opinion of the Maryland Attorney General on this
subject, dated January 23, 1969 See also Goss v. Lopez. 419 US 565
(1975)
Nothing in this provision would prohibit the Vice Chancellor from modifying
the terms of an interim suspension, so long as the hearing requirement
specified in part 16 was met For example, a suspended student might be
allowed to enter University premises solely for the purpose of attending
classes
18 Staff members in the Judicial Programs Office should endeavor to arrange
a balanced presentation before the various judicial boards and may assist
both complainants and respondents
19 This language does not effect any change in previous policy concerning
the powers of judicial boards All board decisions, including those
rendered by Conference Boards, shall be treated as recommendations.
20 See annotation one. supra The deterrent effect of punishment is
diminished if the community is unaware of the number and general nature
of sanctions imposed The Director of Judicial Programs may. for example,
arrange for publication of the statistical report in the campus press each
semester
21 Boards established pursuant to this section might include modified
versions of the present "Greek" or residence hall boards.
22 It IS intended that a quorum will consist of three members (out of five) The
authority to appoint ad hoc boards should be broadly construed and might
be especially useful for example, when a (udicial board or the Senate
Committee is charged with hearing a case involving one of its own
members The final determination as to whether a panel is "unable to hear
a case" should be within the discretion of the Director ol Judicial Programs
23 The power ot confirmation represents a significant grant of authority to the
Senate Committee The committee is presently underutilized and might
best contribute to the judicial system by becoming more intimately involved
with It Moreover, confirmation procedures will give committee members
direct contact with board members and will also allow the committee to
exercise more control over the quality of Judicial Board decisions
24 Proposed bylaws must be submitted to the Attorney General for review
25 It could be a public embarrassment for the University to have a student
charged with or convicted of a serious crime sit in judgment over other
students in disciplinary proceedings The various state criminal codes are
usually so broad and archaic, however, that automatic suspension or
removal should not result from any violation of any law (e g . New York
makes it a criminal misdeameanor for anyone "to dance continuously in a
dance contest for twelve or more hours without respite')
26 Case referrals should not be limited to members ol the "campus
community " A student who assaults another person on campus should not
escape University judicial action merely because the person assaulted was
a visitor (or. as in a recent case, a former student who had |ust withdrawn
from the University )
27 The Director of Judicial Programs may appoint a trained volunteer from the
campus community to serve as the complainant It would be preferable,
however, to employ a "community advocate" to present all disciplinary
cases
Several measures in the code are designed to restore balance in
disciplinary proceedings, even in those cases in which the complainant is
inexperienced with administrative adjudication.
(a) a hearing officer may be appointed in complex or serious cases See
part 32 (p)
(b) the role of attorneys or advisors may be restricted See part 33 and
annotation 39
(c) the "disciplinary conference" procedure is designed to eliminate
adversary proceedings in minor cases See parts 30-31 and annotation
29
28 Staff members may consider the mitigating factors specified in part 11 to
determine the permissible sanction to be imposed if the respondent is
found guilty of charges For example, a student involved in a minor
altercation might be charged pursuant to part 9 (a), but referred to a
disciplinary conference, thereby precluding the possibility of expulsion or
suspension for the alleged misconduct
29 The hearing procedures specified at part 32 need not be followed in
disciplinary conferences Instead a disciplinary conference would normally
consist of an informal non-adversanal meeting between the respondent and
a staff member in the Judicial Programs Office Complainants would not
be required to participate, unless their personal testimony was essential to
the resolution of a dispositive factual issue in the case Documentary
evidence and written statements could be relied upon, so long as the
respondent was given access to them in advance and allowed to respond
to them at the conference Respondents would also be allowed to bring
appropriate witnesses with them and might be accompanied by a
representative, who may participate in discussions, although not in lieu of
participation by the respondent
The conference procedure is "designed to reduce the steady grovirth of
unnecessary legalism in disciplinary proceedings The worst features of the
adversary system (including the concept that judicial proceedings are a
"contest" to be "won" by clever manipulation of procedural rules)
undermine respect for the rule of law Colleges and universities can and
should be a testing ground for development of carefully reasoned
alternatives to current procedural excesses in the larger society."
Procedures comparable to the disciplinary conference (referred to as
"structured conversations") are suggested by David L Kirp in his 1976
Stanford Law Review article "Proceduralism and Bureaucracy: Due Process
in the School Setting" 38 Stanford Law Review 841
The benefits of such conversations in the school setting may better be
appreciated by contrasting them with the typical due process hearing
Hearings are designed to determine the facts of a particular
controversy, and apply predetermined rules to the facts thus found At
that point, the function of the hearing is at an end The wisdom of the
underlying substantive rules has no relevance, nor is broader
discussion of grievances generally encouraged, unless it is somehow
14 Code of Student Conduct
pertineni to the dispute at hand
Conversation knows no such limits It too serves as a vehicle lor
resolving what are likely to be factually uncomplicated disputes, but it
does more than that It enables students to (eel that they are being
listened to and may encourage them to raise underlying grievances It
provides administrators with a relatively inexpensive vehicle lor
monitoring, and hence a basis lor reshaping institutional relationships
The outcome ol these orderly thoughtlul conversations' may well be
decisions different in their particulars from what might otherwise have
been anticipated, repeated conversations which touch upon similar
student grievances may ultimately lead disciplinanans to reassess
whether control is so vital, and collaboration so improbable, as a
means of assuring institutional order
The Conference procedure would not be used in any case which might
result in any form ol separation Irom the University Accordingly, the
procedure appears to meet or exceed the due process requirements set
forth by the United States Supreme Court lor cases involving suspensions
ol ten days or less In Goss v. Lopez the Court held
we stop short of construing the Due Process Clause to require,
countrywide, that hearings in connection with short suspensions must
altord the student the opportunity to secure counsel, to conlront and
cross-examine witnesses supporting the charge, or to call his own
witnesses to verify his version of the incident Briel disciplinary
suspensions are almost countless To impose in each such case even
truncated trial-type procedures might well overwhelm administrative
facilities in many places and, by diverting resources, cost more than it
would save in educational effectiveness Moreover, further formalizing
the suspension process and escalating its formality and adversary
nature may not only make it too costly as a regular disciplinary tool but
also destroy its effectiveness as part of the teaching process.
On the other hand, requiring effective notice and an informal hearing
permitting the student to give his version of the events will provide a
meaningful hedge against erroneous action At least the disciplinarian
will be alerted to the existence ol disputes about tacts and arguments
about cause and etiecl He may then determine himself to summon the
accuser, permit cross-examination, and allow the student to present his
own witnesses In more difficult cases, he may permit counsel In any
event, his discretion will be more informed and we think the risk of error
substantially reduced (42 L Ed 2d 725. 740)
30 The case file consists of materials which would be considered "education
records", pursuant to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
Personal notes ol University staff members or complainants are not
included
31 , Determinations made in accordance with parts 30 and 31 are not
appealable
32 Internal subpoenas may be desirable, since cases have arisen in which
complainants or respondents were unable to present an effective case due
to the indifference and lethargy of potential witnesses A student who
refuses to respond to a subpoena may be charged with a violation of part
9(n) of the code
The Director of Judicial Programs should not approve a subpoena unless
the expected testimony would be clearly relevant Likewise, a subpoena
designed to embarrass or harass a potential witness should not be
authorized
The subpoena power specified here is not designed to reach documents
or other matenals
33 Board members should be disqualified on a case by case basis only,
permanent removal should be accomplished in accordance with Part 25
Board members should not be readily disqualified The term "personal
bias" involves animosity toward a party or favoritism toward the opposite
party See. generally. Davis. Administrative Law Treatise Bias" Section
12 03
34 See Bernstein v Real Estate Commission 221 Md 221 (1959). which
established the preponderance" standard for state administrative
proceedings
35 Testimony containing hearsay may be heard, if relevant A final
determination should not be based on hearsay alone
36 Every statement or assertion need not be proven For example, board
members may take notice that many students commute to the University
37 Student presiding officers are often at a disadvantage when the
respondent is represented by an attorney The proceedings might progress
more rapidly and efficiently if a special presiding officer were appointed
Generally, a staff member in the Judicial Programs Office would be
selected for such a responsibility, although other University employees with
legal training might also be called upon
38 Information pertaining to prior findings of disciplinary and residence hall
violations might be reported, as well as relevant criminal convictions Prior
allegations ol misconduct should not be disclosed
39 A disciplinary hearing at the University is not analogous to a criminal trial
The presiding officer and the board advisor are authorized to exercise
active control over the proceedings in order to elicit relevant tacts and to
prevent the harassment or intimidation of witnesses No party or
representative may use threatening or abusive language, engage in
excessive argumentation, interrupt the proceedings with redundant or
fnvolous obiections. or otherwise disrupt the hearing
Students have not been determined to have a constitutional right to full
legal representation in University disciplinary hearings The privilege ol
legal representation, granted m this part, should be carefully reviewed in
any subsequent revision of the code
40 Punishment of one or several individuals for the acts of others should be
avoided if the identities of the specific offenders can be readily
ascertained
41 Association does not require formal membership Individuals who might
reasonably be regarded as regular participants in group or organization
activities may be held to be associated with the group or organization
42 Leaders or spokesmen need not be officially designated or elected For
example, if a group or organization accepted or acquiesced m the act or
statement of an individual associated with it. that individual might
reasonably be regarded as a leader or a spokesman tor the group or
organization
43 "Suspension" includes deterred suspension but not interim suspension or
suspension which is withheld See annotation six
44 Students left with a disciplinary record after a disciplinary conference may
request that their record be voided, in accordance with part 47 Denials
may be appealed, pursuant to part 48
45. The decision will be "final and conclusive" on the part of the ludicial board,
but will remain a recommendation to the Director of Judicial Programs
46. This part is intended to discourage frivolous appeals Respondents who
are genuinely interested in pursuing an appeal can reasonably be
expected to prepare a written brief
47. Appellate bodies which do not give deference (i e , a presumption ol
validity) to lower board decisions will distort the entire disciplinary system
Respondents would be encouraged to "test their strategy" and "pertect
their technique" before lower boards, since the matter would simply be
heard again before a "real" board with final authority
Lower board members usually have the best access to the evidence.
including an opportunity to observe the witnesses and to judge their
demeanor Members of appellate bodies should be especially careful not
to modify a sanction or to remand or dismiss a case simply because they
may personally disagree with the lower tjoard's decision.
The opportunity to appeal adverse decisions has not been determined to
be a requirement of constitutional "due process" in student disciplinary
cases ■■■ There is presently no legal obstacle to adopting an amendment
to the code which would eliminate the appellate system altogether
48 Respondents who obtain jnlormation at the hearing which might lead to
new evidence are required to request an ad|Ournment rather than wait to
raise the matter lor the lirst time on appeal
49 An arbitrary and capricious decision would be a decision "unsupported by
any evidence " The oiled language has been adopted by the Federal
Courts as the proper standard of judicial review, under the due process
clause, of disciplinary determinations made by slate boards or agencies
See McDonald v. Board ol Trustees ol the University ol Illinois 375 F
Supp 95. 108 (ND III. 1974)
50 See annotation 19
51 Voided files will be so marked, shall not be kept with active disciplinary
records, and shall not leave any student with a disciplinary record
52 Disciplinary records may be reported to third parties, m accordance with
University regulations and applicable state and lederal law
53 Void records shall be treated m the manner set forth m annotation 51
54 The scope of review shall be limited to the factors specified at part 47 An
inquiry into the initial determination ol guilt or innocence is not permitted
For example, when considering the "nature" of the violation, pursuant to
part 47 (c). It IS to be assumed that the violation occurred and that tt>e
respondent was responsible for it

Chancellor and the Chairman of the Senate Adjunct Committee on Human
Relations The complainant in such a case may appeal the dismissal of the
case to the Senate Adjunct Committee on Human Relations, which may
direct that a Human Relations Gnevance Committee conduct a grievance

preparation ol his/her case or othen«ise work to his/her prejudice Such
postponement or termination shall be reported to the complainant,
respondent and Chancellor In any case where a complaint has been the
subject ol prior administrative or judicial resolution or where a complaint

Student Transfer Policies
The University of Maryland fully subscribes to the Maryland State Board lor
Higher Education Transfer Policies A complete text of the policy follows
These Student Transfer Policies, developed by a special task force of the
Segmental Advisory Committee, were adopted by the Maryland Slate Board for
Higher Education on November I. 1979. In view of the Boards sensitivity to the
need of the institutions and segment txiards to have sufficient lead lime to
make these policies operational, the new policies shall be effective and
applicable to students enrolling in Maryland s public postsecondary education
institutions in fall. 1980. and thereafter. At that lime they will supersede SBHE
student transfer policies in effect since 1972
Preamble
The major objective of these policies is to relate in operational ways the
undergraduate programs offered in the public sector of higher education m
Maryland These policies aim at equal treatment ol native and transler
students The elfectiveness of these policies, since their promulgation m
December 1972. has been confirmed by the minimal loss of credits
experienced by students transferring within the public sector, by the apparent
satisfaction of these students, and by the absence ol appeals concerning the
translerring ol credits
The intended principal benefactor is the student, who is best sen/ed by
current information about programs and protected by lirm arrangements
among the public segments ol higher education in Maryland which permit him
to plan a total degree program from the outset With successful academic
performance, he or she can make uninterrupted progress even ttxjugh transfer
is involved The measures of the effectiveness ol the plan is maximum
transferability of college level credits withm the parameters of this agreement
Essentially, transfer and native students are to be governed by the same
academic rules and regulations
In a complementary way the State's interests are served by having its
higher education resources used optimally by reducing the lime taken lo
complete a degree through the avoidance of repealed class experience
The institutional interests are protected also by the systematic approach.
institutions are relieved of the uncerlainlies of unplanned articulation without
becoming production line enterprises

specilic areas of agreement among the public two-year and four-year
institutions of higher education pertaining to facilitating the transler ol students
within these segments. (2) to provide lor a continuous evaluation and review of

provide a system for appeals

The University Studies Program
The University Studies Program is the general education requirement at the
University of tvlaryland, College Park This program must be completed by all
students beginning baccalaureate study after tvlay, 1980 It is intended to
provide students with the intellectual skills and conceptual background basic
to an understanding of the universe, society and themselves The focus is not
on any particular bodies of knowledge, for almost any subject matter can lead
to an awareness of general modes of understanding the world Thus, for
example, it does not matter whether the student studies physics or botany as
long as he or she comes away from the course with some understanding of the
power of the empirical investigation that characterizes science
The University Studies Program has three parts The "Fundamental Studies"
section of the program is intended to establish the student's ability to
participate in the discourse of the university through demonstrated mastery of
written English and matliematics. These requirements are to be completed
early in the students program in order to serve as a foundation tor subsequent
work
The "Distributive Studies" requirement is intended, through study in
particular disciplines, to acquaint students with the different ways of analyzing
and talking about the world that characterize the three areas into which the
university's knowledge is traditionally divided the physical and biological
sciences, the social and behavioral sciences, and the arts and humanities The
fourth category. History and Culture." includes courses that lead to the
consideration of historical and cultural differences and the relationship of our
own society to those of other limes and places
In fulfilling "Distributive Studies" requirements, students will have gained
some experience of the way in which scholars in different kinds of disciplines
make and organize observations about the world and arrive at general
statements
It is the purpose of "Advanced Studies" courses to show how these
different intellectual approaches compare with each other or may be used in
complementary ways to analyze and solve problems "Development of
Knowledge" courses deal with the basis upon which people who use these
different approaches claim to know something and the different kinds of
insights to which these intellectual strategies lead Analysis of Human
Problems" courses consider these matters m terms of specific cultural, social,
scientific or aesthetic problems which may be approached from several points
of view Courses in both Advanced Studies" categories require students to
exercise critical thinking skills in the analysis of complex problems
The University Studies requirements, designed to be spread throughout the
student's four years, represent a third of the total academic work required for
graduation It is the purpose of this program, in combination with the extensive
work of the mapr, to help prepare students to become productive, aware and
sensitive members of society capable of understanding their world and the
many kinds of people in it and of taking responsibility for their own decisions
and their own lives

designed to provide an alternative academic structure lor students whose
educational interests, process, or goals do not readily coincide with the
requirements of an existing departmental major Both programs are particularly
appropriate for transfers, older students, and others whose past credits/or
current interests span several fields of study
The Bachelor ol General Studies (BGS) program permits students to obtain
an education in a broad range of disciplines Course selection is flexible, but
there are limitations on the number of credits allowed from any one department
and division
The Individual Studies Program is for students with a clearly defined,

Academic Advising
Advising is an essential part of an undergraduate's educational
experiences at the University of Maryland, From orientation to graduation, it
can provide the kind of concerned assistance that helps students interpret
often enrich, their perceptions of "being in college " With its emphasis on
decision-making, planning, constructive action, effective advising highlights the
connections between coursework and career, between learning and doing,
between accepting advice and accepting responsibility
Advantages tor Students — As an active and regular participant in existing
advising programs, any student can reasonably expect—
(1) to better understand his/her purposes for attending the University;
(2) to develop insights about personal behavior which promotes improved
adjustment to the campus setting.
(3) to increase his/her awareness of academic programs and course offerings
at College Park.
(4) to more frequently explore opportunities outside the classroom for
intellectual and cultural development.
(5) to acquire some decision-making skills that can accelerate academic — and
career-planning,
(6) to more realistically evaluate his/her academic progress and its relationship
to successful planning
Required Advising — For most students, advising is not required This allows
individual students to decide, on the basis of personal circumstances and
needs, whether or not to see an advisor Certain categories of students,
however, musf obtain advising assistance
Students on Academic Probation — Each student placed on academic
probation will receive, at the end of the semester for which the probationary
status IS imposed a statement urging him/her to meet with an advisor as
quickly as possible The Office of the Registrar will have primary, but not
exclusive responsibility for issuing these statements
When a follow-up meeting does occur, the student's advisor will record this
fact in the student's official file within the division or college Should the same
student subsequently be dismissed from the University, the fact of his/her
meeting will be considered a positive factor in reinstatement procedures
Students Dismissed from the University— Each student dismissed from the
University for academic reasons must, as a condition of reinstatement, meet
with an academic advisor According to the students individual needs, this
meeting may occur before or after reinstatement is granted, m no case,
however, may a reinstated student complete registration until the fact of this
meeting has been acknowledged/recorded by the advisor
Students Who Withdraw — Given circumstances deemed appropriate by the
Office of Withdrawal and ReenroHment, certain students applying for
reinstatement following withdrawal may be required to meet with an advisor as
a condition of their reinstatement When this occurs, the fact of the meeting
must be acknowledged/recorded by an advisor before registration can t>e
completed The intent is to require advising of those students who have a
record of consecutive withdrawals, withdrawal during a semester following
probation, and various other reasons for similar concern
Students Nearing Senior Status — After a student has earned between seventy
and eighty credits toward a baccalaureate degree, that same student shall be
urged m writing to meet with an advisor This meeting is lor the express
purpose of reviewing the student's progress toward the degree and, at a
minimum, requires the advisor to detail, m writing, all coursework yet to be
completed in fulfillment of the degree requirements
Each division, college, and department will have available one or more
advisors to meet with these students at the appropriate times
Finding an Advisor — Undergraduate students at the College Park Campus
are encouraged to use the many advisement opportunities that are available to
them At all academic levels — divisional, college, and departnnental — at least
one person had been designated to coordinate advising A list of these
persons, providing name, room number, and telephone extension is published
each semester in the Schedule of Classes. Students who are unable to locale
an advisor or who have questions about campus advising programs should
visit or call the Undergraduate Advising Center, Room 3151. Hornbake Library.

The horticulturist combines a knowledge of the basic sciences with an
intimate knowledge of plants and their requirements in an effort to help meet
the food needs of the world population and to help beautify man's
surroundings The horticulturist specifically, is involved with fruit production
(pomology), vegetable production (olericulture), greenhouse plant production
(floriculture), production of ornamental trees and shrubs, post-harvest
horticulture, and the aesthetic and functional planning and design of
landscapes for public and private facilities (Landscape Design) Horticultural
principles are essential to designing the landscape for improvement of the
human environment Post-harvest horticulture is involved with the storage and
transportation of horticultural products until they reach the consumer
The curriculum in Horticulture prepares students for a future in commercial
production of the horticultural crops, and for employment in the horticultural
industries such as fruit and vegetable processing, seed production and sales,
agricultural chemical sales and service, florist shops and garden centers, and
as horticulturists for parks, highway systems, botanic gardens and arboretums
Maiors may prepare for work with handicapped persons as horticultural
therapists by electing appropriate courses in the social sciences and in
recreation The Horticultural Education option is designed for those who wish to
teach horticulture m the secondary schools It prepares the graduate with a
basic knowledge of horticulture and includes the courses required for
certification to teach in Maryland The Landscape Design option introduces the
principles and practices of design and prepares the student for work in the

Biological Sciences Program *
This program is designed for the student who is interested in a broader
education in the biological sciences than is available m the programs for
majors in the various departments of the Division of Agricultural and Life
Sciences The program is appropriate lor the entering student who wishes to
explore the various areas of biology before specializing in the program offered
by a single department, or for the student desiring to specialize in a discipline
which can best be constituted by the selection ol courses from the various
departments in the biological sciences
Preparation for graduate study in a specialized area ol biology is readily
accomplished under this program by the judicious selection ol junior-senior
level courses m the proposed area ol graduate concentration When the
proposed area ol graduate specialization lies within a single departmental
discipline, it may be desirable lor the student to transfer to the program for
maiors in that department
Advising ol students in the Biology program is coordinated in a central
advising ollice established by the Division ol Agricultural and Lite Sciences
Students must select an area ol emphasis Irom among the lollowing
programs — Marine Biology, Ecology, Physiology, or Genetics Alternatively, the
student may elect a General Biology program emphasizing work in Animal
Science. Botany, Entomology, Microbiology or Zoology In each case, advising
will be by the department in which most of the work is to be taken For orderly
planning and advising, students are urged to determine their emphasis early
and no later than the beginning ol the junior year Changes in emphasis
normally cannot be made during the senior year without delaying graduation
Students in the program who are also attempting to meet the requirements of a
pre-professional program should also seek advice from advisors for the
respective programs Students in the program who wish to prepare lor
secondary school science teaching should contact the faculty of the Science
Teaching Center of the College of Education lor inlormation concerning
requirements lor certification
Curriculum. All students in the Biological Sciences program must satisfy the

Geology is the basic science of the eanh in its broadest sense, geology
concerns itsell with planetary lormation and modilication with emphasis on the
study ol the planet Eanh This study directs its attention to the eanhs internal
and external structure, materials, chemical and physical processes and its
physical and biological history Geology concerns itsell with the application ol
geological principles and with application ol physics, chemistry, biology and
mathematics to the understanding ol our planet
Geological studies thus encompass understanding the development ol lile
Irom the lossil record, the mechanics ol crustal movement and earthquake
production, the evolution ol the oceans and their interaction with land, the
origin and emplacement of mineral and fuel resources and the determination ol
man's impact on the geological environment
Geological scientists lind employment in government, industrial and
academic establishments In general, graduate training is expected lor
advancement to the most rewarding positions Most industrial positions require
an M S degree Geology is enjoying a strong employment outlook at the
present because of our mineral, fuel and environmental concerns At this lime,
students with the B S , particularly those with training in geophysics, can lind
satislactory employment However, graduate school is strongly recommended
lor those students desiring a prolessional career in the geosciences
The Geology Program includes a broad range ol undergraduate courses to
accommodate both geology majors and students interested in selected
aspects ol the science ol the Earth Opportunities exist lor undergraduate
research projects, on a personal level, between students and laculty members,
The (3eology curricula is designed to meet the requirements ol industry,

The Agricultural Experiment Station
The Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station is currently conducting more
than 200 research projects These are conducted by faculty who supervise
and direct research assistants, graduate and undergraduate students and
technicians The research may be conducted m laboratones or at one of the
nine field locations throughout Maryland operated by the Experiment Station or
even m fields, herds or flocks of cooperating farmers
The overall objective of the Expenment Station is to enhance all aspects of
Maryland agriculture for the benefit of farmers, farm- related business and
consumers through optimal utilization, conservation and protection ol soil ana
water resources Genetic principles are studied and applied in the
improvement of turf and ornamentals, vegetable crops, field crops, poultry,
dairy and other animals Similarly, pathological principles are of concern m
improvement of methods of identification, prevention and/or control of plant
and animal diseases Biochemistry plays an important role m evaluating the
nutritional quality ol crops produced, the efficiency of feed conversion by
poultry and animals or the quality of plant and animal products for human
consumption Research m progress is concerned with improvement of
processing systems to enhance food quality on one hand and the impact of
nutritional deficiencies and means of remedying these on the other Also
directly in the consumer area is the study of clothing quality
Improved production techniques including waste utilization or disposal
require studies involving soil-moislure-plant relationships and plant, bird, or
animal-environment relationships and also studies of the applications of
engineering lor producing or maintaining the optimal environment for biological
systems
Studies of biological and mechanical methods and improved chemical
control of insects in the field, forests, food processing chain and irve home are
continuous
Division of Arts and Humanities 67
The socio-economics of changing agricultural systems are a maior
research area and increasing attention is being oriented towards rural
development, including resource utilization for non-farm residents and
recreation
The Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station was established in 1888 to
comply with the Hatch Act of 1887 authorizing the establishment of an
agncultural experiment station at the Land Grant Colleges Actually, the charter
of the Maryland Agricultural College in 1856 specilially authorized

Cooperative Extension Service
As pan of the total university, the Cooperative Extension Sen/ice takes the
University of Maryland to the people of Maryland, wherever they are In its role
as the "off-campus, non-credil, out-of-classroom" arm of the University, it
extends the classroom to all parts of the State With its uniquely effective
educational delivery system, the Cooperative Extension Service helps people
to help themselves, to define their problems, to evaluate reasonable
alternatives, and to generate action to solve their problems
The Cooperative Extension Service was authorized by Congress in 1914
under the Smith-Lever Act and is funded by a three-way partnership Support
comes from the federal government tor both 1862 and 1890 Land Grant
institutions; and from the Stale and all 23 counties and Baltimore City in
Maryland
General administrative offices of the Maryland Cooperative Extension
Service are located at the College Park campus, and the administration of the
1890 program (an integral part of the total MCES effort) is from offices at the
Eastern Shore campus
Off-campus faculty, located in each county and in Baltimore City, are the
"front lines" that deliver University resources in ways people can use them
effectively These field faculty rely on campus based Cooperative Extension
specialists at both the College Park and Eastern Shore campuses to provide
up-to-date, meaningful information and for aid m planning and conducting
relevant educational programs Many of the Cooperative Extension service
faculty at the State level carry pint appointments with teaching and research,
especially in the UMCP Division of Agricultural and Life Sciences
The Maryland Cooperative Extension Service is known for its programs in
agriculture (including care of urban home grounds and gardens), home
economics. 4-H and youth, community and resource development and energy.
and marine science Working through organized groups such as homemakers'
clubs, farmers' groups and cooperatives, agribusiness firms, watermen's
organizations, civic and social organizations, governmental agency personnel
and elected officials, the Cooperative Extension Service multiplies its effects. It
maintains a close working relationship with the Maryland Department of
Agriculture and other State agencies and organizations More than 22,000
volunteers in Maryland give generously of their time and energy
Time-tested, informal educational methods used are farm and home visits,
phone and office conferences, and structured events such as meetings,
institutes, workshops and training conferences Carefully planned teaching
events include tours, field days, and demonstrations Indirect communications
utilize circular letters, radio and television programs, newspaper articles and
columns, articles in specialized publications, and exhibits to reach a statewide
audience
The Cooperative Extension Service is committed to making its programs
available to all people without regard to race, color, creed, sex, marital status,
personal appearance, age, national origin, political affiliation, or handicap
In each county and in Baltimore City competent extension agents conduct
educational work in program areas consistent with the needs of the citizenry
and as funds permit The county staff is supported by a faculty of specialists in
the Division of Agricultural and Life Sciences in College Park and the
agricultural programs of University of Maryland Eastern Shore Through these
efforts, local people are assisted in finding solutions to their problems
The Cooperative Extension Service works in close harmony and association
with many groups and organizations In addition to work on farms and with
agri-businesses, extension programs are aimed at many small and part time
farmers, rural non-farm and urban family consumers as well as watermen and
marine related businessmen Both rural and urban families learn good food
habits through the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program
Thousands of Ixiys and girls gain leadership knowledge and experience and
are provided practical educational instruction in 4-H clubs and other youth
groups
To accomplish its mission, the Cooperative Extension Service works closely
with teaching and research faculty of the University and with units of the
University outside of agriculture, as well as state and federal agencies and
private groups Short courses, workshops and conferences in various fields of
interest are conducted on the College Park Campus and at other locations
throughout the state A wide vanety of publications and radio and television
programs also are used to reach the people of Maryland
Division of Arts and Humanities
The Division of Arts and Humanities offers a rich assortment of courses and
programs for both maiors and non-maprs Students interested in the traditional
fields of the liberal arts will find many attractive offerings in the Department of
An. Music. Communication Arts and Theatre, English and the foreign
languages. History, and Philosophy Here they will study the artifacts and
documents of the past and the present, reflecting both western and
non-western civilizations
The Division also offers professional work m the creative and performing
areas — studio an. music, dance, theatre, creative writing, and film — as well as
professional training in architecture and modern communications (Journalism.
Radio-Television-Film)
Arts and Humanities encourages its students to take multi- or
interdisciplinary approaches to the study of human cultural behavior Majors
are available in Amencan Studies and Russian Studies Faculty representing
various disciplines will advise students on such other-world area studies as
East Asian and Latin American Or a student, with faculty help, may devise
coherent programs in, lor example. Women's Studies, Popular Culture, Jewish
Studies, the History and Philosophy of Science, and the Classical. Medieval, or
Renaissance world All of these programs, and many others that a student's
imagination and interest may suggest, are strengthened by courses from other
divisions, particularly in the social sciences
Many of the mapr programs in Ans and Humanities make excellent pre-law
preparation In fact, with a judicious choice of electives m this and other
divisions, students with any mapr in Arts and Humanities may prepare
themselves for careers or advanced training in business, government, law,
teaching, publishing, library work, and museum work, among others Internship
opportunities throughout the Division should enhance this process
Most careers in which the graduates of Arts and Humanities will eventually
find themselves require and reward the abilities fostered by a liberal education:
the ability to write clear, carefully organized, readable English, to speak
forcefully and persuasively, to think logically and critically The programs in the
Division of Arts and Humanities, therefore, are concerned with developing the
qualities of verbal facility and adaptability needed for career success
The chief administrative officer of the Division of Arts and Humanities is the
Provost The Provost's office staff serve as ombudsmen for students The
Provost s office is responsible for certifying that students have met all degree
requirements The staff evaluates transfer credits and coordinates the advising
of newly admitted students They maintain a liaison with the vanous faculty
advisors and academic programs within the Division The office of the Provost
is the place where students can go when they are lost or have any question
about academic policies or procedures The staff can adjust courses or
schedules, providing it is ethically lustifiable The Provost's office can interpret
existing regulations and, where it again feels ethically justified, can make
certain exceptions. Students mapring in architecture and purnalism will work
directly with the staffs of the School of Architecture and the College of
Journalism During registration, students are usually seen on a first-come,
first-served basis On other occasions, if the problem is an emergency or is
truly important, the Provost, deans, and advisors will stay as long as
necessary
Each entering student in this Division will be assigned a faculty advisor
who will help select courses and programs relevant to the student's academic
objectives As soon as a student selects a major field of study, a faculty
advisor representing that area will be assigned

Dance
Professor Emerita: Madden
Associate Professors: Ince. Rosen. Ryder. A Warren. L Warren
Assistant Professor: Batson
Instructors: Mayes. Owens. Perpener. Pollack
Recognizing that dance combines both athleticism and artistry, the dance
program oilers comprehensive technique and theory courses as a foundation
lor the dance professions By developing an increasing awareness ol the
physical, emotional and intellectual aspects ol movement in general, the
student eventually is able to integrate his own particular mind-body
consciousness into a more meaninglul whole To facilitate the acquisition of
new movement skills, as well as creative and scholarly insights in dance, the
curriculum provides a structured breadth experience at the lower division level.
At the upper division level the student may either involve himself in various
general university electives. or he may concentrate his energies in a particular
area ol emphasis in dance Although an area ol emphasis is not mandatory,
many third and fourth year students are interested in studying a singular
aspect of dance in depth, such as performance, choreography,
production/management, education or general studies (encompassing dance
history, literature and criticism) Students selecting the education emphasis
may obtain State of Maryland teacher certification. Students desiring a
performance emphasis are required to participate in a screening audition at
the conclusion of their sophomore year
The dance faculty is composed of a number of distinguished teachers,
choreographers and performers, each one a specialist in his or her own field
Visiting artists, throughout the year and during the summer, make additional
contributions to the program There are several performance and
choreographic opportunities lor all dance students, ranging from informal
workshops to fully mounted concerts both on and off campus More advanced
students may have the opportunity ol working with Maryland Dance Theater,
which IS in residence in the Department Company auditions are held each
year in the Spring

must be attained in all dance courses
New, re-entering and transfer students are expected to contact the
department following admission to the University for instructions regarding
advising, class placement auditions and registration procedures The

that the value derived from these advanced courses is materially enhanced
when based upon a sound foundation in the liberal arts
In adhering to the above policy, it is the practice of the College of Business
and Management to accept in transfer from a regionally accredited community
college no more than 12 semester hours of work in business administration
courses The 12 semester hours of business administration acceptable in
transfer are specifically identified as three (3) semester hours in an introductory
business course, three (3) semesler hours in business statistics, and six (6)
semester hours of elementary accounting Thus, it is anticipated that the
student transferring from another regionally accredited institution will have
devoted the major share of his academic effort below the junior year to the
completion of basic requirements in the liberal arts A total of 60 semester
hours may be transferred from a community college and applied toward a
degree from the College of Business and Management
Statement of Policy on the Transfer of Credits from Other Institutions.
The College of Business and Management normally accepts transfer credits

Amhropoiogy has been delmed as the study ol man" because it is the
only discipline which tries to understand humans as a whole — as an animal, as
a social being, as a literate being — from the very beginning o( time and ail
over the world Anthropologists try to explain differences among
humans— differences in their physical characteristics as well as their customs,
behavior, and attitudes Since children learn their culture from the older
generation, who in turn learned it from the preceding generation, culture is a
product of the past Anthropologists study the way human culture has grown
and changed through lime, and the way man has spread over the earth This
IS not the history of kings and great men or of wars and treaties, it is the
history, including the present, and science of human knowledge and behavior
The cross-cultural experience gives us not only specific knowledge of other
cultures, which may be important in a variety of public health, business,
agricultural and diplomatic endeavors, but also an appreciation of how strongly
people feel about the cultural patterns with which they grew up The four
subfields of Anthropology (cultural anthropology, archaeology, physical
anthropology and linguistics) have proven valuable in understanding not only
foreign cultures, but also segments of our own society, as in urban ghettos or
in institutions such as hospitals and schools They all deal with people and
culture, and thus contribute to the development of the holistic view which, more
than any other element, characterizes Anthropology as a discipline
It IS becoming increasingly clear that Anthropology has been a definite
asset in finding jobs in a variety of fields ranging from business to the fine arts
Whether one goes on to a Ivlasters or a Ph D , striving to advance the frontiers
of knowledge concerning our species and the cultural process, or combines
the anthropology B A with other specific knowledge and goes out as a city
planner, development consultant, program evaluator, or whatever, is up to the
individual At Maryland, we offer you a solid background, a base from which
you can take off in a variety of directions
The Anthropology Department offers beginning and advanced coursework
in the four principal subdivisions of the discipline: physical anthropology,
linguistics, archaeology and cultural anthropology Within each area, the
Department offers some degree ol specialization and provides a variety of
opportunities within the curriculum Laboratory courses are offered in physical
anthropology and archaeology, field schools are offered in archaeology and
ethnography Instruction is available in both Old World and New World
archaeology and ethnology, and lab courses include human evolution, human
population biology, forensic anthropology, osteology, and archaeological
analysis The interrelationship of all branches of anthropology is emphasized
Courses in these subdivisions may be used to fulfill the minor or "supporting
courses" requirement in some programs leading to the B A degree
The Anthropology Department has a total of five laboratories located in
Woods Hall, which are divided into leaching labs and research labs At
present, there are two physical anthropology labs one osteological research
lab, and one "wet" lab for teaching and research in serology, histology, and
anatomy These laboratories contain radiographic, hislolic. and
electrophonetic equipment, and the osteological lab is centered around an
extensive research collection There is one Ethnology/Linguistics lab which also
doubles as a seminar room The Department's two Archaeology labs,
containing materials collected from field schools of the past several years,
sen/e as both teaching and research labs
Anthropology Major. A student who declares a major in Anthropology will be
awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree upon fulfilment of the requirements of the
degree program The student must complete at least 30 hours of courses
labeled ANTH with a grade of C or better in each course The courses are
distributed as follows
a Eighteen (18) hours of required courses which must include ANTH 101,
102, 397, 401. 441 or 451 and 371 or 461 or 361
b Twelve (12) hours of elective courses in Anthropology of which nine (9)
hours must be at the 300 level or above;
c Eighteen (18) hours of supporting courses (courses outside of
Anthropology offerings in fields which are complementary to the major's
specific anthropological interest) Supporting courses are to be chosen by
the student and approved by a faculty advisor
In addition to the above requirements Anthropology majors must meet
those of the Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences specifying general
courses, grade point average, course load and the forty (40) credit hours of
University Studies Program approved courses required of every
degree-seeking student of the University
The Advising System. The Anthropology Department allows the student
select his or her Faculty Advisor to fit particular interests and needs. All
Anthropology faculty members are advisors (and should be contacted
individually) who help plan each student's program All majors are expected to
seek out a faculty advisor and consult wnt him/her on a regular basis
The Honors Program. The Anthropology Department also offers an Honors
Program which provides the student an opportunity to pursue m-depth study of
her or his interests Acceptance is contingent upon a 3 5 GPA in Anthropology
courses and a 3 overall average Members of this Program are encouraged
to take as many Departmental Honors courses as possible The citation is
awarded upon completion and review of a thesis to be done within the field ol
Anthropology Details and applications are available in the Anthropology otlice.

■ Joint appointment with indicated unit.
Geography is an interdisciplinary field that offers a wide range of career
options The central question in geographical study is "where'" Geographers
research locational questions of the natural environment, of social and
economic systems, and ol past human activity on the land Students of
geography must master a variety of methods and techniques that are useful in
locational analysis, including map making or cartography, air-photo
interpretation and remote sensing, field observation, statistical analysis,
computer applications and mapping, and mathematical modelling In addition
to methodological knowledge, students of geography also must master
substantive knowledge — either m the physical/natural sciences or the
behavioral'social sciences The ability to write clearly and to synthesize
information and concepts are highly valued in geographical education and
practice International interests are best pursued with complementary study
emphases m foreign languages and area studies
Increasingly, geographers today use their combined methodological and
substantive knowledge towards the solution of society's problems More
graduate geographers are taking positions in planning, natural resources
management, and policy analysis
Geographers in the federal government work in the Department of State.
Interior, Defense Agriculture. Housing and Urban Affairs. Health and Human
Services, and Ihe Central Intelligence Agency They are on Ihe staffs ol the
legislative research branch, the Library of Congress and the National Archives
At the slate and local government level there is an increasing demand for
geographers m planning positions And in recent years more and more
geographers also are employed in private industry working on problems of
industrial and commercial location and market analysis Teaching at all levels
Irom elementary school through graduate work continues to employ many
geographers each year Some Imd geography to be an excellent background
for careers m Ihe military, lournalism, law, travel and lounsm, Ihe nonprofit
sector, and general business, others find the broad perspective of geography
an excellent base for a general education Most professional positions in
geography require graduate training
Requirements for an Undergraduate Major. Within any of the general mapr
programs it is possible tor the student to adjust his/her program to fit his/her
particular individual interests The major totals 36 semester hours In addition
to the 36 semester hours, the geography mapr is required to take an
additional 15 semester hours of supporting coursework outside of the
Department The hours can be either in one department or in an area of
concentration An area of concentration requires that a written program of
courses be reviewed and placed on file by the Department advisor Supporting
courses generally are related to area of specialty in geography Pass-lail

Areas of Specialization. Although the major program is flexible and can be
designed to lit any individual student's own interest, several specializations
attract numbers ol students They are
Urban Geography and Regional Development— Provides preparation for
careers in planning and teaching Majors electing this specialty take
departmental courses in urban geography, industrial location, transportation,
and economic geography among others and supporting courses in urban
sociology, urban economics, urban transportation, and the urban studies
program outside the department.
Physical Geography— fot students with special interest in the natural
environment and in its interaction with the works ol man This specialization
consists ol departmental courses in geomorphology. climatology, and
resources, and ol supporting courses in geology, soils, meteorology,
hydrology, and botany
Cartography— Prepares students for careers in map design, compilation
and reproduction The department offers various courses in thematic mapping,
cartographic history and theory, map evaluation, and map and photo
interpretation Students concentrating in cartography are not required to take
GEOG 305 and are limited to nine hours ol upper level systematic geography
courses Supporting area courses must be taken Irom a list provided by the
Department Ail math programs should be approved by a departmental
advisor
Cultural Geography— 01 interest to students particularly concerned with the
geographic aspects ol population, politics, and other social and cultural
phenomena, and with historical geography In addition to departmental course
olferings this specialization depends on work in sociology, anthropology,
government and politics, history, and economics
For further information on any of these areas of interest the student should
contact a departmental advisor
All math programs should be approved by a departmental advisor
Internship. The Department offers a one-semester internship program for
undergraduates The goal of the program is to enhance the intellectual growth
and the career opportunities of undergraduates The internship provides the
students with an opportunity to expand their understanding ol the field by
linking the theoretical aspects of geography acquired in the classroom to the
applied aspects operating m a working situation The internship program is
open only to Geography pmors and seniors All interns must have the following
prerequisites GEOG 201 202. 203, 305 and 310 An application form from the

B.A degree m Government and Politics
The study of politics is both an ancient discipline and a modern social
science The origin of the discipline can be traced back to the earliest limes
when philosophers, statesmen, and citizens studied the nature of government,
justice, responsibility, and the consequences of government's action More
recently, the study of politics has also emphasized scientific observations
about politics Today, the discipline reflects a broad effort to collect data about

■ Joint appointment with unit indicated.
Psychology can be classified as a biological science (Bachelor of Science
degree) and a social science (Bachelor of Arts degree) and offers academic
programs related to both of these fields The undergraduate curriculum in
psychology provides an organized study of the behavior of man and other
organisms m terms of the biological conditions and social factors which
influence such behavior In addition, the undergraduate program is arranged to
provide opportunities for learning that will equip qualified students to pursue
further study of psychology and related fields in graduate and professional
schools
Students who are interested in the biological aspects of behavior tend to
choose a program leading to the Bachelor of Science degree, while those
interested primarily in the social factors of behavior lend to choose the
Bachelor of Arts degree The choice of program is made in consultation with
an academic advisor
Department requirements are the same for the Bachelor of Science and the
Bachelor of Arts degrees A minimum of 35 hours in psychology courses, not
including PSYC 478 or 479, must be taken Courses taken must include PSYC
100, 200, and two laboratory courses (PSYC 400. 410. or 420) In addition, a
total of 14 credits must be taken at the 400 level, including the two laboratory
courses noted above
In order to assure breadth of coverage, courses in the department have
been divided into four areas The 35 credit total must include at least two
courses from each of at least two of four areas and at least one course from
each of the remaining areas
The areas and courses follow
Area I: 206. 301. 310. 400. 401. 402. 403. 404 405, 410, 412, 453, Area II:

Supporting courses to supplement the work m the major for the Bachelor of
Science degree must constitute a 15 credit area, including at least two
laboratory courses and at least 9 advanced hours in relevant math and
science departments The student should see an academic advisor m the
Psychology Department for advice and approval of a course sequence
Students should consult the current Psychology Undergraduate Program Guide
lor a list of approved advanced math-science courses This guide is available
in the Psychology Undergraduate Office (Room ZP 1141)
Although a minimum of thirty-five (35) hours of psychology coursework is
required for a psychology major, each and every psychology course taken by
the mapr student must be counted towards the psychology major
A grade of C or better must be earned m the 35 credits of psyclTOlogy
courses counted toward the major or a course must be repealed until a C or
better is earned II the course is not repealed then another psychology course
fulfilling the same requirements would have to be substituted The
departmental grade point average will be a cumulative computation of all
grades earned in psychology and must be a 2 or above
Students desiring to enter graduate study in certain areas of psycholofly
are advised to take an additional laboratory course and'or participate in
individual research projects Such students should consult an advisor for
information about prerequisites for graduate study m psychology
It should be noted that there is one course content area which has two
courses, one in the 300 sequence and one m the 400 sequence These
include abnormal (331 and 431), personality (335 and 435). and child
psychology (333 and 433) The courses m the 300 sequence provide general
surveys of the field and are intended for non-majOrs who do not plan further
in-depth study The courses m the 400 sequence provide more comprehensive
study with particular emphasis on research and methodology The 400 senes
is intended primarily for psychology maprs It should be further noted thai a
student may not receive credit for both

■ Joint appointment with unit indicated.
Sociology is the study of human social and group behavior, concentrating
on the interaction between people, the social organization of people and social
order and social change withm societies Sociology s subject matter ranges
from the intimate family to the hostile mob, from crime to religion, from the
divisions of race and social class to the shared beliefs of a common culture,
from the sociology of work to the sociology of sport In fact few fields have
such broad scope and relevance
A major in Sociology offers (1) a general education especially directed
toward understanding the complexities of modern society and its social
problems by using basic concepts and research and statistical skills. (2) a
broad preparation for various types of professions, occupations, and services
■dealing with people, and (3) preparation of qualified students for graduate
training m Sociology, Social Work, Law, and Business Sociology also forms a
valuable background for those interested m other fields or majors Courses in
Sociology can be used as preparation lor careers m Government and Private
Research, Urban Planning, Personnel Work. Human Resources Management
and many other Policy Making and Administrative careers
The program of instruction concentrates on those areas of Sociology where
knowledge is most rapidly accumulating These areas are social psychology.
organizations, family, and social stratification Beyond this tfie Department
places heavy emphasis on analytic skills— both thinking and data analytic — to
prepare B A s for jobs in the general caliber of the G S 7 level To implement
this process the Department offers the opportunity lor specialization m one or
more ol the seven following areas Social Science Research and Methodology,
Social Psychology, Organizations and Occupations. Military Sociology Social
Demography, Social Stralilication, and Family Sociology These specializations
require a minimum of four courses to be completed from those offered m the
specific area Information is available m the Undergraduate Office detailing the
individual requirements for each area of concentration
A specialization m Social Science Research and Methodology gives
students experience necessary to seek employment in the burgeoning
research area Combined with emphasis in any number ol substantive areas
the statistics and methodological skills acquired m this area are appropriate to
Survey Research. Evaluation Research, Marketing and other quantitatively
oriented endeavors A Social Psychology specialization exposes the student to
theories of social interaction, personality, collective behavior and small group
Behavioral and Social Sciences Departments, Programs and Curricula 89
behavior This emphasis is particularly valuable lor siudenls interested m
Human Service, (Counseling, Personnel Work and other people related
occupations m business and industry
An Organizations and Occupations concentration is particularly useful to
pursuit ol careers in the business world and bureaucratic research An
Organization specialty involves theoretical instruction in formal organization,
bureaucracy, social stratitication and application to any institution that is
organized m a bureaucratic term such as education, the military and politics
Another facet of this concentration is the whole area ol work roles and
occupations, their meaning, development, professionalization and place in the
social structure Very closely associated with the Organizations and
Occupations specialty is the concentration on the Military Military Sociology
uses concepts associated with bureaucratic organization, social control, and
even sex roles, to examine our military institution Considering the importance
of the military in the world today, this is a rapi'dly growing specially area
Family Sociology is a specialty that examines the development ol sex roles,
the organization and changes in our family institution as well as the relationship
of the family to the social structure Specific coursework in areas of childhood
socialization and aging and disability focus on family problem areas Along
with the Social Psychology concentration. Family Sociology is a good
preparation lor Human Service, Counseling, and research occupations It is
equally valuable for those who plan lor their own marriage and family
The last two areas of concentration. Social Demography and Social
Stratification are particularly appropriate for students interested in a macro
view of society Social Demography focuses on the impact ol population and
its distribution (age, sex, race, rural-urban) on the social structure Social
Stratification emphasizes the social definitions of age, sex. race as well as
occupation, wealth, power and prestige on the classification systems societies
develop. Both are useful in comparative research as well as policy
development and evaluation
These areas ol concentration can be combined to advantage or can be
taken as part of a double mapr in con|unction with programs m other
compatible areas such as economics, government and politics, psychology,
business, etc This program versatility and the rich experiential learning
possibilities ol the Washington Metropolitan Area combine to make the
Sociology curnculum a valuable career choice
Requirements of the Sociology Major. The student in Sociology must
complete 47" hours of Departmental requirements, none of which may be
taken pas&lail Thirty-two" of these hours are m sociology course work which
must be completed with a mmumum average ol C, 14" hours are in required
core courses and 18 hours are Sociology electives, ol which 9 are required in
the 400 level and an additional 3 are required at either the 300 or 400 level
Required core courses for all maiors are SOCY 100 (Intro.), SOCY 201
(Statistics), SOCY 203 (Theory), and SOCY 202 (Methods)
SOCY 100 should be taken in the freshman or sophomore year followed by
SOCY 203 After completion of the Math requirement SOCY 201 should be
taken, followed by SOCY 202.
Three hours of Mathematics (Stat 100, Math 110, 111, 115, 140, 220 or
their equivalents) are required of majors and are a prerequisite of SOCY 201
The supporting course requirement for majors is 12 hours of a coherent
sehes of courses from outside of the department which relate to the mapr
substantive or research interests in Sociology These courses need not come
from the same department, but at least 6 hours must be Irom the Division of
Behavioral and Social Sciences The following are among those recommended
by the Sociology Undergraduate Committee for maprs, ANTH 102, CMSC 103,
ECON 205. GVPT 100, 170, 260, HIST 224, PHIL 170, 250, 455, PSYC 100
Further information about suggested supporting courses can be obtained in
the Undergraduate Office (Room 2108, Art/Sociology BIdg )
Experiential learning — an elective course offering SOCY 386/387 which
allows an upper level major to gain up to 6 hours of credit by the combination ol
working in an internship volunteer position and doing some academic project in
conjunction with the work experience (under the direction of a faculty member).
" 47 hours are required because SOCY 201 and 202 are 4 hour courses. For
transfer students or those with equivalent courses which are only 3 hour
courses, exceptions to this 47 hour requirement may be made by the
Coordinator of the Sociology Undergraduate Program.

techniques and methods based on research, while providing opportunities
through laboratory, practical and field experiences lor making knowledge and
innovative discovery more meaningful to the individual Through these
experiences the faculty experiments with varying relevant techniques and
methods by which the individual can transfer to the society-at-large new ideas

College of Library and Information
Services
The College of Library and Information Services is a graduate program
which draws its students from many undergraduate disciplines Although many
of the College of Library and Information Services students have degrees in
the social sciences and humanities, there is an increasing interest in people
with diverse backgrounds — in the sciences, lor example The continued
influence of scientific advances, the variations in clientele and service patterns,
and the constantly shifting character of the societal scene are among the
factors which have significantly influenced and will doubtless influence all the
more in the future the scope and character of library functions and
responsibilities The library and information professional in the 1980s must
have competence in many disciplines if he or she is to serve well m the
information centers, urban areas, public libraries, and school libraries The
College of Library and Information Services is a visionary school, attempting to
produce people to fill contemporary needs
The library science education program at the undergraduate level luKills
the State of Maryland's requirements for the Educational Media Associate
Certificate, Level I This is the beginning level of educational media
responsibilities The Associate is a professional person with introductory
knowledge, understanding of and competency in media services, with the
particular emphasis on the operation of a unified media program Fifteen
hours of undergraduate library science courses are offered through the
College of Library and Information Services
Because of the universal application of many principles of librananship and
media, students other than education students interested in library and media
courses may register lor the undergraduate library science courses without
being enrolled in the certification program
While the undergraduate program in library science education luKills a
great need in training school library and media personnel and persons to fill
special roles, the masters degree program m the College of Library and
Information Services is the recognized avenue for preparing fully qualified
professionals in the library field

KIneslologlcal Sciences Curriculum This program is designed for those
students who are vitally interested in the fascinating realm of sport and the
human activity sciences, but not necessarily interested in preparing for
teaching in the public schools The body of knowledge explored by this
curriculum may be described briefly as follows
The history of sport, both ancient and contemporary, its philosophical
foundations and the study of social factors as they relate to human
behavior
Biomechanics, exercise physiology, the theoretical bases and effects of
physical activity, neuromotor learning and the psychological factors
inherent m physical performance
The quantification and description of performance and the relation of these
factors to human development
The program makes possible the broad use of elective credit so that
various student interests may be combined on an interdisciplinary basis With
such possibilities available, graduates could reasonably set their sights on
occupations in the paramedical fields, such as stress testing and human
factors, athletic involvements such as trainers, scouts, sports publicists, or
advance to further study in the therapies, as well as graduate work in physical
education and allied fields.

College of Engineering
The College ol Engineering otiers tour year progfams leading either to Ihe
degree ot Bachelor ol Science with curriculum designation in Aerospace
Engineering, Agricultural Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering,
Electrical Engineering, Fire Protection Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or
to the degree ol Bachelor ol Science in Engineering with an Engineering option
or an Applied Science option One example of Ihe Bachelor ol Science in
Engineering is Nuclear Engineering In addition, each ol the loregoing degree
programs may be pursued through the live-year Maryland Plan lor Cooperative
Engineering Education The engineering programs integrate these elements
(1) basic sciences, including mathematics, physics, chemistry, (2) engineering
sciences including mechanics ol solids and lluids, engineering materials
thermodynamics, electricity, and magnetism, (3) prolessional studies in maior
fields of engineering specialization, and (4) general studies including liberal
arts and social studies as part of the University Studies Program Each
program lays a broad base for continued learning alter college in prolessional
practice, in business and industry, in public service, or in graduate study and
research
General Information. Increasingly, Ihe boundary between engineers and
applied scientists or applied mathematicians becomes less distinct The
various branches ol engineering similarly interact with each other, as technical
problems become more sophisticated, and require a combined attack Irom
several disciplines The engineer occupies an intermediate position between
science and the public, because, in addition to understanding the scientilic
principles of a situation, he is concerned with the timing, economics and
values that define the useful application of those principles
High School Preparation. Preparation for pursuing an engineering degree
curriculum begins in the freshman or sophomore year of high school The time
required to complete the various degree programs may be extended beyond
the four years cited in this catalog to the extent that an incoming student may
be deficient in his/her high school preparation Pre-engineenng students
normally enroll in an academic program in high school The course of study
should include 3-1/2 to 4 years of college preparatory mathematics (including
algebra, trigonometry, plane and solid geometry and pre-calculus
mathematics) In addition, students should complete one year each of physics
and chemistry
Curricula for the various engineering departments are given in this catalog
to illustrate how the programs can be completed in lour years. These curricula
are rigorous and relatively difficult for the average student Surveys have
shown that only about one-third to one-half of the students actually receive an
engineering degree in four years The majority of students (whether at
Maryland or at other engineering schools nationwide) complete the engineering
program in four and one-half to five years It is quite feasible for a student to
stretch out any curriculum, this may be necessary or desirable for a vanety of
reasons However, students should seek competent advising in order to
ensure that courses are taken in the proper sequence
Structure of Engineering Curricula. Courses in the normal curriculum or
program and prescribed credit hours leading to the degree of Bachelor of
Science (with curriculum designation) are outlined in the sections pertaining to
each department in the College of Engineering No student may modify the
prescribed number of hours without special permission from the Dean of the
College The courses in each curriculum may be classified in the following
categories
1 Courses in the University Studies Program Requirements
2 Courses in the physical sciences — mathematics, chemistry, physics
3 Collateral engineering courses — engineering sciences, and other courses
approved for one curriculum but offered by another department
4 Courses in the major department A student should obtain written approval
for any substitution of courses from the Department Chairman and the
Dean of the College
The courses in each engineering curriculum, as classified above, form a
sequential and developmental pattern in subject matter In this respect,
curricula in engineering may differ from curricula in other colleges Some
regulations which are generally applicable to all students (see the Academic
Regulations) may need clarification for purposes of orderly administration
among engineering students Moreover, the College of Engineering establishes
policies which supplement the University regulations
Baalc Format of the Freshman-Sophomore Years In Engineering. The
freshman and sophomore years in engineering are designed to lay a strong
foundation in mathematics, physical sciences and the engineering sciences
upon which the student will later develop a prolessional program during the
upper division (junior and senior) years The College course requirements lor
the freshman year are the same for all students, regardless of their intended
academic program, and about 75% of the sophomore year course
requirements are common, thus affording the student a maximum llexibility in
choosing a specific area of engineering specialization Although the
engineering student selects a major field at the start of the sophomore year,
this intramural program commonality affords the student the maximum flexibility
of choice of interdepartmental transfer up to the end of the sophomore year
Admissions
Freshman: fjeginning with the summer and fall 1981 semesters, admission to
the College of Engineering is competitive for both freshmen and transfers
Applicants who have designated a ma|or within the College of Engineering will
be selected for admission on the basis ol academic promise and available
space Freshmen will be selected on the basis ol a predictive index, and in
addition, must present a score ol 500 or better on the mathematics portion of
the SAT and a minimum combined score of 1,000, Applicants admissible to
the University but not to the College will be offered admission to
pre-engineering A Pre-engineenng major status does not assure eventual
admission to the College of Engineering Because of space limitations the
College of Engineering may not be able to offer admission to all qualified
applicants The College Park campus strongly urges early application.
Transfer: Beginning with Ihe summer and fall 1981 semesters admission to the
College of Engineering is competitive for both freshmen and transfers.
Applicants who have designated a major within the College of Engineering will
be selected for admission on the basis of academic promise and available
space Transler applicants enrolled prior to May 1981 in an engineering
transfer program in a Maryland Community College, in a Northern Virginia
Community College, a 3-2 program at a Maryland public four-year college, or
from the UMBC pre-engineering program will be offered admission to the
College ol Engineering under policies in effect at the time of their initial
enrollment in the transfer program at the sending institution All other transler
applicants must compete for enrollment in the College based upon the criteria
in effect for the semester during which the student wishes to enroll Because
ol space limitations the College of Engineering may not be able to offer'
admission to all qualified applicants. The College Park campus strongly urges
early application.
Basic Freshman Curriculum In Engineering. All freshmen in the College ol
Engineering are required to complete the following basic curriculum for
freshmen regardless of whether the student plans to proceed through one of

The Sophomore Year In Engineering. With the beginning ol the sophomore
year the student selects a sponsoring academic department (Aerospace,
Agricultural, Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Fire Protection, or Mechanical
Engineering), and this department assumes the responsibility lor the students
academic guidance, counseling and program planning Irom that point until the
completion of the degree requirements of that department as well as the
College For the specific requirements, see the curriculum listing in each
engineenng department
College Regulations
1 The responsibility lor proper registration and lor satisfying stated
prerequisites lor any course must rest with the student — as does the
responsibility lor proper achievement in courses in which the student is
enrolled. Each student should be familiar with the provisions of this catalog,
including the Academic Regulations
2 Required courses m mathematics, physics and chemistry have highest
priority, and it is strongly recommended that every engineering student
register lor mathematics and chemistry — or mathematics and
physics — each semester until the student has fully satisfied requirements of
the College of Engineenng in these subjects
3 To be eligible for a bachelor's degree in the College of Engineering, a
student must have an overall average ol at least a C— 2 and a grade of
C or better in all courses with an EN prefix Responsibility for knowing and
meeting all degree requirements for graduation in any curriculum rests with
the student

satisfy either the General University Requirements or the new University
Studies Program All students who matriculated in the Summer 1978
session or later, must complete six credits of English composition
Engineering Transfer Programs. Most of the community colleges in Maryland
provide one- or two-year programs which have been coordinated to prepare
students to enter the sophomore or junior year m engineering at the University
of Maryland These curricula are identified as Engineering Transfer Programs
in the catalogs of the sponsoring institutions The various associate degree
programs in technology do not provide the preparation and transferability into
the professional degree curricula as the designated transfer programs
A maximum of one-half of the degree credits (approximately 60-65
semester hours) may be transferred from a two-year community college
program
There may be 6-8 semester hours of mapr departmental courses at the
sophomore level which are not offered by the schools participating in the
engineering transfer program Students should investigate the feasibility of
completing these courses in Summer School at the University of Maryland
before starting their junior course work in the fall semester.
Dual Degree Program. The Dual Degree Program is a cooperative
arrangement between the College of Engineering and selected liberal arts
colleges which allows students to earn undergraduate degrees from both
institutions in a five-year program A student in the Dual Degree Program will
attend the liberal arts college for approximately three (3) academic years
(minimum 90 hours) and the University of Maryland. College of Engineering for
approximately two (2) academic years (minimum hours required — determined
individually, approximately 60 hours)
Dual degree candidates may participate in any of the baccalaureate
degree programs in the College of Engineering
At the present time the participating institutions are American University.

Cooperative Engineering Education Program
Program Director: Blair
The Maryland Plan for Cooperative Engineering Education at the University
of Maryland, College of Engineering, is a four and one-half to five calendar
year program leading to a Bachelor of Science degree The academic
requirements for students following the Co-op Plan ol Education are identical to
the academic requirements for those students following the regular four-year
program In addition to the normal academic requirements. Co-op students
have scheduled penods ol professional internship which must be satislaclorily
completed to quality lor the baccalaureate degree under the Co-op Plan
The Co-op Program begins after the student has completed the Ireshman
and sophmore requirements ol a mapr field The structure of Engineering
Co-op is an alternating sequence ol study and internship As lar as Co-op is
concerned, there are three sessions — fall and spring semesters (20 weel<s
each) and a summer session (10 weel<s) This alternating plan ol study and
professional Internship lengthens the last two academic years into three
calendar years Delaying entry into the Co-op Program until the junior year
offers considerable educational advantages to the student
The student retains the normal freshman-sophomore program to afford time
for the selection of a mapr field of engineering — or to determine whether to
continue in engineering — without a commitment to either the regular tour-year
or the Co-op Plan of Education A more mature and meaninglul senes of
professional internship assignments are possible to benefit both the student
and the proiessional partner Also, the plan is readily adaptable to the needs
ol the student translerring to the University Irom the engineering Iransler
programs ol community or slate colleges
Students need only meet two criteria lor entry into the Engineering Co-op
Program They are (1) completion ol the sophomore requirements (usually
about 65 degree credits) and (2) the establishment ol a cumulative grade point
average at the University ol Maryland ol at least 2 0/4
A typical study-intern schedule is shown below The typical student begins
the first internship in the summer immediately lollowing the sophomore year (65
accumulated degree credits) The total internship is lor two summers and two
semesters (60 weel<s) The student enrolls lor 16 semester hours each during
the fall and spring semester, 12 semester hours during the summer and three
semester hours in the evening during two internship periods

Students make their own arrangements for board and lodging while on
their penods of internship Frequently the participating industnal company or
governmental agency will assist the student in locating good, inexpensive
lodging The internship wages are paid directly to the student by his employer
During the semesters or summer sessions m which the student attends
school, he pays the regular tuition and lees assessed by the University A $30
lee is charged lor each 10-week period ol proiessional internship The
professional intern fee is payable at the beginning of each intern period and is
not refundable.
Instructional Television System. An Instructional Television (ITV) system is
now in operation at the University of Maryland Regularly scheduled courses
(primarily graduate), as they are being taught, are broadcast "live" from studio
classrooms at College Park to remote classrooms within a 35-mile radius from
the University at governmental and industrial organizations Employees at these
organizations see and hear the broadcast on large TV monitors and are able to
"talk-back" to the instructor and to the students m the University classroom For
the most part, senior and graduate courses m engmeenng, computer science,
math, physics, other sciences, business/management, and other disciplines
are offered As far as possible, the courses broadcast are those chosen by the
participating organizations Irom the Schedule ol Classes ol the University
Professional Societies. Each ol the major departments sponsors a student
chapter or student section ol a national engineering society The student
chapters sponsor a vanety of activities including technical meetings, social
gatherings and college or university service pro/ects Students who have
selected a mapr are urged to alliliale with the chapter m their department The
names of the organizations are
Amencan Institute ol Aeronautics and Astronautics

Aerospace engineering is concerned with the physical understanding.
analysis and design ol aerospace vehicles operating within and above the
atmosphere Such vehicles range Irom helicopters and oilier vertical lake-off
aircraft at the low speed end of the llight spectrum to spacecraft operating at
thousands ol miles per hour during entry into ttie atmospheres ol the earth and
other planets In between are general aviation and commercial transports Hying

transports, fighters and missiles which cruise at many times the speed of
College of Engineering Departments, Programs and Curricula 119
sound Although each speed regime and each vehicle type poses its own
special research, analysis and design problems, each can be addressed by a
common set ol technical specialities or disciplines Consider the high-speed
llight ol NASA's Space Shuttle The airflow over the wings, fuselage and tail
surfaces create lift, drag and moments on the aircraft II the velocity is high
enough, such as during reentry of the Space Shuttle into the earth's
atmosphere, then the temperature ol the airflow becomes extremely high, the
air becomes chemically reactive, and heating ol the vehicle's surlace becomes
a major problem The study ol how and why the airllow produces these forces,
moments and heating is called Aerodynamics. In turn, the motion ol the aircralt
or space vehicle will respond to. indeed will be determined by. the
aerodynamic forces and moments The study ol the motion and llight path ol
such vehicles is called Flight Dynamics 01 course, while executing this motion.
the vehicle must be structurally sound, that is. its surface and internal structure
must be able to withstand the severe forces and loads associated with llight
The study of the mechanical behavior ol materials, stresses and strains.
dellections and vibrations that are associated with the structure ol the vehicle
itsell IS called Flight Structures In the same vein, the motion ol any aircralt or
space vehicle must be initiated and maintained by a propulsive mechanism
such as the classic combination of a reciprocating engine with a propeller, or
the more modern turboiets, ramjets and rockets The study of the physical
fundamentals of how these engines work is called Flight Propulsion. Finally, all
of the above are synthesized into one system with a specilic application — such
as a complete transport aircraft or a missile— through a discipline called
Aerospace Vehicle Design.
The Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University ol Maryland
offers a rigorous and balanced education which includes all of the above
disciplines The goal ol this program is to create professional aerospace
engineers with an understanding of the physical fundamentals underlying
atmospheric and space llight. and with the capability of applying this
knowledge for (1) research, analysis and design purposes. (2) such as energy
and surlace transportation, lor example Moreover, the physical background
and design synthesis that marks aerospace engineering education also
prepares a student to work productively in other fields
The facilities of the department include three subsonic wind tunnels (with
test sections ranging from 2 by 2 ft to 7 75 by 1 1 It ), two supersonic tunnels,
a hypersonic tunnel, equipment for the static and dynamic testing of structural
components, and a llight simulator A computational lacility with remote
terminals located m the department provides access to the University's

to help meet the needs ol our increasing world population for food, natural
fiber and improvement or maintenance of the environment Scientific and
engineering principles are applied to the conservation and utilization of soil
and water resources lor lood production and recreation, to the utilization of
energy to improve labor elficiency and to reduce labonous and menial tasks;
to the design ol structures and equipment for housing or handling of plants
and animals to optimize growth potential, to the design of residences to
improve the standard of living lor the rural population, to the development ol
methods and equipment to maintain or increase the quality ol food and natural
fiber, to the flow of supplies and equipment to the agricultural and aquacultural
production units, and to the How ol products Irom the production units and the
processing plants to the consumer The agricultural engineer places emphasis
on maintaining a high quality environment as he works toward developing
efficient and economical engineering solutions

chemical, materials and nuclear engineenng In addition, study programs in
the areas of applied polymer science, biochemical engineering, and process
simulation and control are available The latter programs are interdisciplinary
with other departments at the University
The departmental programs prepare an undergraduate for graduate study
or immediate industrial trial employment following the baccalaureate degree
The chemical engineering program emphasizes the application of basic
engineering and economic principles — and basic sciences of mathematics,
physics and chemistry — to process industries concerned with the chemical
transformation of matter The chemical engineer is primarily concerned with
research and process development leading to new chemical process ventures
or a better understanding of existing ones, with the efficient operation of the
complete chemical plant or its component units, with the technical services
engineering required for improving and understanding chemical plant
operation and the products produced, with the chemical sales and economic
distribution of the chemical plant product, and with the general management
and executive direction of chemical process industry plants and industhal
complexes
Because of this wide range of ultimate applications, the chemical engineer
finds interesting and diverse career opportunities in such varied fields as
chemical (inorganic and organic), food processing and manufacture,
metallurgical, nuclear and energy conversion, petroleum (refining, production,
or petrochemical), and pharmaceutical industries Additional opportunities are
presented by the research and development activities of many public and
private research institutes and allied agencies

Civil Engineering Curriculum.
Civil engineering is concerned with the planning, design, construction and
operation ot large facilities associated with man's environment Civil engineers
specialize in such areas as environmental engineering. Iransportalion systems,
structures, water resource development, water supply and pollution control,
urban and regional planning, construction management, and air pollution
control Many civil engineers enter private practice as consulting engineers or
start their own businesses in the construction industry Others pursue careers
with local, state, and federal agencies or with large corporations
The undergraduate program is founded on the basic sciences and
emphasizes the development of a high degree of technical competence The
program orients the student toward computer-aided design techniques and
prepares the student to incorporate new concepts that will develop during his
or her professional career f^urther. the program stresses the balance between
technical efficiency and the needs of society The graduate is prepared to
enter one of the areas mentioned above, or he or she can move into new areas
of specialization such as oceanographic engineering or the development ot
facilities (or extra-terrestrial environments
At no time has man been more concerned with the quality of the
environment Man is concerned with broad environmental problems such as
pollution and the operation of transportation systems Man is also concerned
with problems such as a need for new approaches in the design and
construction of buildings The civil engineering profession faces the greatest
challenge in its history as it assumes a central role in the solution of the
physical problems facing the urban-regional complex

The program m the Electrical Engineering Department features flexibility by
means of a broad elective structure (inside and outside the Department) The
student may attain breadth or specialization as he/she chooses
Areas stressed include such fields as electronics, integrated circuits, solid
state devices, lasers, communication engineering, information theory and
coding engineering, system theory, computer software and hardware, panicle
accelerators, electromechanical transducers, energy conversion, electrical
engineenng. and many others
Apprenticeship programs allow qualified undergraduate students to work
with research laboratory directors in the Department, thus giving the student a
chance for a unique experience in research and engineenng design
Projects in Electrical Engineering allow undergraduate students to do
independent study under the guidance of a faculty member in an area of
mutual interest
The technological problems and needs of society are becoming steadily
more complex The engineer is the intermediary between science and society
To solvfc the problems of modern society he/she must fully understand the
most modern devices and methodologies available To find the best solution
he/she must have a broad education To find a solution that is also acceptable
to society he/she must be concerned with the economic, ecologic and fiuman
factors involved in the problem Finally, current problems frequently require a
thorough knowledge of advanced mathematics and physics
The curriculum of the Electrical Engineering Department reflects the
diverse requirements cited above A basic mathematical, physical and
engineering sciences foundation is established in the first two years Once this
foundation is established, the large number of Electrical Engineering courses
and the flexibility of the elective system allow a student to specialize or
diversify and to prepare for a career either as a practicing engineer or for more
theoretically oriented graduate work
To go along with this freedom, the Department has a system of
undergraduate advising The student is encouraged to discuss his/her program
and career plans with the advisor in order to get maximum benefit from the
curriculum

Fire Protection Engineering
Professor and Chairman: Bryan
Associate Professor: Hickey
Lecturer (p.t): Milke. Walton
Fire protection engineering is concerned with the scientific and technical
problems of preventing loss of life and property from fire, explosion and related
hazards, and of evaluating and eliminating hazardous conditions
The fundamental principles of fire protection engineering are relatively
well-defined and the application of these principles to a modern industrialized
society has become a specialized activity Control of the hazards in
manufacturing processes calls for an understanding not only of measures for
the protection but of the processes themselves Often the most effective
solution to the problem of safeguarding a hazardous operation lies in the
modification of special extinguishing equipment The fire protection engineer
must be prepared to decide in any given case what is the best and most
economical solution of the fire prevention problem His or her
recommendations are often based not only on sound principles of fire
protection but on a thorough understanding of the special problems of the
individual property
Modern fire protection utilizes a wide variety of mechanical and electrical
equipment which the student must understand m principle before he or she
can apply them to special problems The fire protection curriculum emphasizes
the scientific, technical and humanitarian aspects of fire protection engineering
and the development of the individual student
The problems and challenges which confront the fire protection engineer
include the reduction and control of fire hazards due to processes subject to
fire or explosion in respect to design, installation and handling, involving both
physical and human factors, the use of buildings and transportation facilities to
restrict the spread of fire and to facilitate the escape of occupants m case of
fire, the design, installation and maintenance of fire detection and extinguishing
devices and systems, and the organization and education of persons for fire
prevention and fire protection

Bachelor of Science Degree In Engineering
The "B S -Engineering " program is designed to serve three primary
functions (1) to prepare those students who wish to use the breadth and
depth of their engineering education as a preparatory vehicle for entry into
post-baccalaureate study in such fields as medicine, law, or business
administration, (2) to provide the basic professional training for those students
who wish to continue their engineering studies on the graduate level in one of
the new interdisciplinary fields of engineering such as environmental
engineering, bio-medical engineering, systems engineering, and many others,
and finally (3) to educate those students who do not plan a normal professional
career in a designated engineering field but wish to use a broad engineering
education so as to be better able to serve in one or more of the many auxiliary
or management positions of engineering related industries The program is
designed to give the maximum flexibility for tailoring a program to the specific
future career plans of the student. To accomplish these objectives, the
program has two optional paths: an engineering option and an applied science
option.
The "Engineering" option should be particularly attractive to those students
contemplating graduate study or professional employment in the
interdisciplinary engineering fields, such as environmental engineering,
bio-engineering, bio-medical, and systems and control engineering, or for
preparatory entry into a variety of newer or interdisciplinary areas of graduate
study For example, a student contemplating graduate worl( in environmental
engineering might combine chemical and civil engineering for his or her
program, a student interested in systems and control engineering graduate
work might combine electrical engineering with aerospace, chemical, or
mechanical engineering
The "Applied Science" option should be particularly attractive to those
students who do not plan on professional engineering careers but wish to use
the rational and developmental abilities fostered by an engineering education
as a means of furthering career objectives Graduates of the Applied Science
Option may aspire to graduate work and an ultimate career in a field of
science, law, medicine, business, or a variety of other attractive opportunities
which build on a combination of engineering and a field of science Entrance
requirements for law and medical schools can be met readily under the format
of this program. In the applied science program, any field m the University m
which the student may earn a B S degree is an acceptable secondary science
field, thus affording the student a maximum flexibility of choice for personal
career planning
Listed below are the minimum requirements for the B,S -Engineering
degree with either an Engineering option or an Applied Science option. The 66
semester credit hours required for the completion of the junior and senior years
are superimposed upon the freshman and sophomore curriculum of the
chosen primary field of engineering The student, thus, does not make a
decision whether to lake the designated or the undesignated degree in an
engineering field until the beginning of the junior year In fact, the student can
probably delay the decision until the spring term of the junior year with little or
no sacrifice, thus affording the student ample time for decision. Either program
may be taken on the regular four-year format or under the f\/1aryland Plan for
Cooperative Engineering Education

Engineering Fields of Concentration available under the B S -Engineering
program as primary field within either the Engineering option or the Applied
Science option are as follows
Aerospace Engineering Electrical Engineering
Agricultural Engineering Engineering Materials
Chemical Engineering Mechanical Engineering
Civil Engineering Nuclear Engineering
Fire Protection Engineering
All engineering fields of concentration may be used as a secondary field
within the engineering option
(1) Engineering sciences, for the purpose of this degree, are those courses in
the Engineering College prefixed by ENES. or. are in an engineenng field
not the primary or secondary field of engineering concentration
(2) Students following the "Engineering" option may use up to six semester
hours of course work at the 100 or 200 course number level in the primary
or the secondary field of engineering concentration as an engineering
science
(3) A minimum of 50% of the course work m the mathematics, physical
sciences, engineering-science and elective areas must be at the 300 or
400 course number level
(4) All of the courses used to fulfill the fields of concentration requirements (36
semester hours in the engineering option and 30 in the Applied Sciences
option) must be at the 300 course number level or above
(5) For the applied science option each student is required — urJess
specifically excused, and if excused, 15 semester hours of approved
electives will be required— to satisfactorily complete a senior level project
or research assignment relating the engineering and science fields of
concentration
(6) In the Engineering option, the 6 semester hours of electives must be
technical (math, physical sciences, or engineering sciences, but may not
be in the primary or secondary fields of concentration) In the Applied
Science option, the approved electives should be selected to strengthen
the student's program consistent with career objectives. Courses in the
primary or secondary fields of concentration may be used to satisty the
approved electives requirement
General Regulations for the B.S. — Engineering Degree. All undergraduate
students m engineering will select their major field sponsoring department at
the beginning of their second year regardless of whether they plan to proceed
to a designated or an undesignated degree A student wishing to elect the
undesignated degree program may do so at any time following the completion
of the sophomore year, or a minimum of 50 earned credits towards any
engineering degree, and at least one semester prior to the lime the student
expects to receive the baccalaureate degree As soon as the student elects to
seek an undersignated baccalaureate degree in engineenng. the student's
curriculum planning, guidance and counseling will be the responsibility of the
"Undesignated Degree Program Advisor" in the primary field department At
least one semester before the expected degree is to be granted, fhe student
must file an 'Application lor Admission to Candidacy lor the Degree of Bachelor
ol Science in Engineering" with the Dean s Office of the College of Engineering
The candidacy form must be approved by the chairman of the pnmary field
department, the primary engineering and the secondary field advisors and the
college faculty committee on "Undesignated Degree Programs ' This
committee has the responsibility for implementing all approved policies
pertaining to this program and reviewing and acting on the candidacy forms
filed by the student
Specific University and College academic regulations apply to this
undesignated degree program in the same manner as they apply to the
conventional designated degree programs For example, the academic
regulations of the University apply as stated m the College Park Catalog of the
University of Maryland, and the College requirement of 2 00 factor in the major
field during the junior and senior years apply For the purpose of
implementation of such academic rules, the credits in the primary engineering
field and the credits in the secondary field are considered to count as "the
Major" for such academic purposes
Environmental Engineering. Environmental engineering is the application of
basic engineering and science to the problem of the environment to ensure
optimum environmental quality In recent years, humans have suffered a
continually deteriorating environment A truly professional engineer involved in
the study of environmental engineering must see the total picture and relate it
to a particular mission whether this be air pollution, water quality control.
environmental health or solid and liquid waste disposal The total picture
includes urban systems design, socio-economic factors, water resource
development, and land and resource conservation
A student who selects the B S -Engineering degree program can
specialize in environmental engineering by proper selection ol primary and
secondary fields from the wide selection of courses related lo environmental
engineering given by the various departments in the College
Engineering-Medicine. Advanced technology is finding increasingly
sophisticated applications in medical care delivery and research Pacemakers.
heart-assist pumps, kidney dialysis machines, and artificial limbs are only a
few examples of the role of engineering and technology m medicine In
addition, diagnostic procedures and record-keeping have been greatly
enhanced by the use of computers and electronic testing equipment There is
a growing need for physicians and researchers in the life sciences, having
strong backgrounds in engineenng. who can effectively utilize these
technologies and who can work with engineers in research and development
The Bachelor of Science m Engineering degree provides the student an
excellent opportunity lo develop a professional level of competence in an
engineering discipline while at the same lime meeting the entrance
requirements for medical school Under the Applied Science option, the
student could select any engineering field of most interest lo himfher, and his
or her secondary field would usually be Chemistry or Zoology In addition to
the medical school entrance requirements, he or she would complete 12
credits of advanced work m his or her secondary field
Under the Engineering option, the student would generally combine
Chemical Engineering (as either primary or secondary field) with another
engineering discipline This option allows the student to complete more
advanced work in hiS'her primary field ol engineering than does the Applied
Science option. Either option can be completed in a four-year penod with
careful planning and scheduling

mathematics and physics The program is designed to prepare students for
positions in governmental and industrial laboratories and observatories, for
graduate work in astronomy or related fields, and for non-astronomical careers
such as in law or business
Astronomy ma|ors are required to take an introductory course in astronomy
This will usually be ASTR 181, 182 However students with the appropriate
physics background could take the one semester introductory course, ASTR
350. instead In addition ASTR 210 (Practical Astronomy) and two 400 level
astronomy courses are required for the major.
Students maionng in astronomy are also required to obtain a good
background in physics The normal required course sequence is PHYS 191,
192, 293 and 294 along with the attendant lab courses 195, 196, 295 and 296
In addition, the student would be required to take PHYS 421^22 or 410-411
Required supporting courses are MATH 140, 141 and 240 or 241 or 246
The program requires that the student maintain an average grade ol C in
all astronomy courses, moreover, the average grade ol all the required physics
and mathematics courses must also be C or better Any student who wishes
to be recommended lor graduate work in astronomy must maintain a B
average He or she should also consider including several additional advance
courses beyond the minimum required, to be selected from astronomy, physics
and mathematics
Detailed information on typical programs and alternatives to the standard
program can be found in the pamphlet entitled "Department Requirements for
a B S degree in Astronomy" which is available from the Astronomy Program
office

education prior to fall, 1981 may choose to satisfy degree requirements m effect when they
became Computer Science majors Information is available in the Education Office of the
Department
Introductory Computer Science Courses. The Department offers a choice of
courses, CMSC 103, 110, for students with little or no computer background
CMSC 103 is considered a terminal course for nonmajors It provides an
introduction to the use of a computer and programming in the language
FORTRAN Students who complete CMSC 103 but want to take additional
CMSC courses should contact an advisor as soon as possible to determine
what additional work may be necessary to qualify lor CMSC 120
Non-majors who may want to take additional CMSC courses should take
CMSC 110 instead of CMSC 103 The two courses are of comparable difficulty,
and the matenal is similar As a terminal course, CMSC 103 attempts to cover
more topics but at less depth than CMSC 110
Majors should take the CMSC 110, 120 sequence in their lirst year Those
students who have programming background in a language such as
FORTRAN should consult an advisor to determine il they need to take CMSC
110 or if they could obtain credit for it by examination Credit by examination is
possible for CMSC 110 or 120, or for any other undergraduate level computer
science course for which transfer credit has not been given
