Tomor- row's leaders will have to know where they are going - and where they have come from. Through its liberal arts education, Agnes Scott College fulfills a responsi- bility to each student as well as to the future of our society and world. IN YOUR LIFE Our special commitment is to women, like your- self. Because you are considering a women's college, you have already distinguished yourself as someone who appreciates her potential. At Agnes Scott, you will stretch your unique tal- ents in a community that wants you to excel. You will be encouraged to lead; and you will be challenged by women role models who have a sense of self as strong as the one you are develop- ing. Through Agnes Scott College, you will ex- plore the world and the life of the mind and you will discover yourself - a woman with character; a unique person, fully prepared to live her life with competence and a sense of adventure. "There is no one image of the Agn.es Scott woman. Perhaps the one thing that distinguishes her is that she is intellectually alive all her life . " President Ruth Schmidt KEEPING THE PROMISE ur purpose is a state- ment of who we are. It has remained constant over the years as we change and grow to meet the changing needs of each new generation of Agnes Scott women. How do we meet those needs? Why is an Agnes Scott education in demand in the most competi- tive graduate schools in the country; and why do our gradu- ates excel as professionals and as home and community builders? Look to the purpose. Then come here and live that purpose with us. 'm^^ -i ?'SaVJ?AkX 'M'.J'A.S*' V^e exist /or that p^ocei% in ViMok u;omen come, to self- possession.

She now practices with | a firm on Wall Street. /aAcA-iA As a liberal arts college for undergraduate wom- en, the College's purpose has been elaborated as: to help the student gain a basic acquaintance with each of three broad areas of knowledge - the humanities, natural sciences and mathematics, and social sciences - and competence in a partic- ular phase of one area; to develop through such study those qualities of mind - analytical, criti- cal, and imaginative - which enable the student to use the treasure of the past and modern con- tributions to knowledge, to enrich her life and to seek solutions to age-old and new problems; to develop an appreciation for excellence and for creative achievement in all fields; to encourage the student to develop a spiritual commitment and a set of values which give vitality, meaning, and direction to her life; to foster a concern for Kuman worth and needs, physical as well as in- tellectual and spiritual; and to cultivate a sense 3f responsibility to her society, both within the college community and beyond. 00^ A PROUD HERITAGE In 1889, when Agnes Scott was founded, the post-Civil War South was struggling to restructure and redefine it- self. In this time of econo- mic and social confusion, a good education was a privilege rather than an expectation. Women were at a particular dis- advantage because it was gener- ally assumed that a woman's du- ties could not be enhanced by scholarship. -jyrj^/k,^^^. In 1890, Colonel George Washington Scott caught the vision and gave $40,000 to provide a home for the school. This amount was the largest sum donated to education in Georgia up to that time. To commemorate his support and to honor Colonel Scott's mother, the board of trustees changed the school's name to Agnes Scott Institute. HEMSTITCHING CLUB A handful of Presbyterians saw beyond the up- heaval of their world. Convinced that women of the new South needed an education, our founders i decided to make a grammar-school education ; available to girls and young women in the area. Under the direction of Frank Henry Gaines, minister of the Decatur Presbyterian Church, they opened the Decatur Seminary in September r 1889. In this rented house, 63 girls studied un- der four teachers. Our founders' determination to move ahead with a mere $5,000 in capital at- tests to their faith. Today's campus of 20 build- ings on 100 acres and Agnes Scott's assets of over $100 million testify to the vision of these jl early leaders and of those who followed. i In the next four decades, Agnes Scott prob- ably exceeded even the most ambitious dreams of ' its founders. Within ten years, Agnes Scott ', earned accreditation as a secondary school. In j; 1906 it was chartered as Agnes Scott College, hi year later, it was accredited by the Southern As- - sociation of Colleges and Schools. This made j Agnes Scott the first college or university to j' earn accreditation in Georgia. We were well on '; our way to becoming a college of distinction. In i 1920, the College earned the Association of ji American Universities' approval; and, in 1926, the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa granted ;a charter. Agnes Scott is also a charter member of the American Association of University Women and of the Southern University Conference. The special commitments of Agnes Scott, first voiced in 1889, animate our campus today and are confirmed in the lives of our graduates. Ruth Schmidt is Agnes Scott's fifth president. She follows Frank Henry Gaines (1889-1923), James Ross McCain (1923-1951), Wallace McPherson Alston (1951-1973), Marvin Banks Perry, Jr. (1973-1982) Suzanne Feese '84 majored in astronomy and physics as well as economics at Agnes Scott, then went on to earn her law degree from Yale University in 1987. She works in the tax department of a top Atlanta law firm. Physical [n Agnes Scott educa- ition is as enduring as lour Victorian [Rebekah Scott Hall land as modern as our .obert W. Woodruff jEducation Building which opened in 1988. You will work hard in the classroom com- ing to grips with the perspectives and innovations sought by to- day's leaders in industry, govern- ment, and health and human services. In a spacious room in your residence hall, you will read the same timeless literature read by your predecessors (perhaps in the elegant comfort of antique furniture against a backdrop of Victorian print wallpaper). You will learn what is most important about the human condition while living in surroundings that echo values proclaimed by tradition.

In 1987-88, approximately 83 percent of the student body received aid in amounts rang- ing from $100 to full room, board, and tuition. We offer a wide range of financial aid opportunities because we seek an economically diversified student population. Today, the Col- lege's endowment per student ranks ninth among all colleges and universities in the Unit- ed States. Many of our programs have been made possible by the generosity of Agnes Scott's friends and alumnae who have provided endow- ment money that has contributed substantially to the College's finances. The financial aid package most appropriate for your needs should be discussed, personally, with your financial aid counselor. (For more details, see the "Admis- sions and Financial Aid" section of this catalog.) An Agnes Scott education is too valu- able to be denied for economic reasons alone. Students here value the closes relationships they develop with faculty members. Agnei Scott has a student-faculty ratio of seven-to-one. Julie Gilreath '85 works as a medical reporter and anchoi for WHTM-TV in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Our modem facilities can help you develop physically as well as intellectually. Take the plunge into Agnes Scott's 8-lane, 25-ineter pool or run a few laps on our new track. If racquetball or danc- ing is more your style, you will probably spend a lot of time at the Alston Campus Center which opened in 1988. i Our commitment to innovative hands-on i experience is evident in such programs as internship study and the Global Awareness Pro-i gram. Its also evident in campus facilities suchi as our Computing Center. Our commitment to scholarship is evident in Agnes Scott's high aca-i demic standards. At Agnes Scott, traditions lay( the groundwork for the future. Respect for the past and excitement about the future are as ap- parent in our physical improvements as in the | redesigned curricula. Historic buildings have i been restored to their original grace and have been authentically furnished. The bell tower of Main has a new brass bell (in part the gift of the; class of 1986) which calls us to convocation and other special events. Our gazebo and horse-and- carriage gate, two cherished Agnes Scott sym- bols that have been part of our campus for most of our history, have both been carefully restored. Our old gymnasium and infirmary buildings | have been renovated and are now the Wallace M. j Alston Campus Center.

An Agnes Scott financial aid award usually combines a grant, Guaranteed Student Loan, and the offer of campus employment. Students may choose to decline the loan or the employment portions of their package. Grants and loans are applied toward students' accounts. Students pay no interest while attending Agnes Scott, and repayment begins after with- drawal or graduation. Students are paid for campus employment by a biweekly payroll check.

Rose Scholar- ship of $1,000 to a rising sophomore, junior, or senior who presents proof of eligibility as a Huguenot descendant. The Financial Aid Office has these applications, which must be submitted to the Fi- nancial Aid Office no later than June 1. Parent Loan Plan. The Agnes Scott Parent Loan Plan is funded and operated by the College for families in the $30,000 to $80,000 income range. Loans range from $1,000 to $7,500 at a low interest rate. Repayment is made monthly over an extended period. Con- tact the Agnes Scott College Financial Aid Office for further information. Student responsibilities in receiving financial assistance. Stu- dents are responsible for knowing and complying with all instruc- tions and regulations of the various student assistance programs. All financial aid programs must be applied for yearly. Students who are readmitted after an absence from the College must complete appropriate forms necessary for applying for insti- tutional, state, and federal funds. To receive funds from these sources, students must be in good standing and be making satisfac- tory progress in their course of study. A copy of the College's state- ment of Financial Aid Satisfactory Progress is available from the Financial Aid Office. Application procedure. Freshman applicants seeking financial assistance must file a Financial Aid Form (FAF) with the College Scholarship Service (CSS) in Princeton, New Jersey. High school guidance offices have these forms, which should be filed between January 1 and February 15 for priority consideration. Prospective students should indicate their interest in financial assistance on the Agnes Scott application for admission. There is no Agnes Scott financial aid form. Enrolled students seeking aid for the next session should obtain a FAF from the Financial Aid Office. Instructions for applying are posted on the official bulletin board at the beginning of the fall se- mester. Transfer applicants may obtain a copy of the FAF from the Admissions Office. They also should arrange to have a finan- cial aid transcript from all institutions previously attended sent to the Agnes Scott director of financial aid. Determination of College awards. The amount of financial aid granted to a student is based on need, which is defined as the differ- ence between the cost of attending Agnes Scott and the family's fi- nancial resources. The Financial Aid Office determines from the CSS Financial Aid Form the amount of family resources which should he available to the student for college expenses. Among the factors used in the analysis are: family and student income and as- sets (including the student's summer earnings), taxes, medical ex- penses, extraordinary debts and expenses, current living expenses and retirement allowances, number of dependents, and number of children in college. The Financial Aid Office requires signed copies of the federal income tax return for both the student and her par- ents for the calendar year before each academic year for which the student requests aid. These should be submitted to the Financial Aid Office when requested. Students must also inform the Finan- cial Aid Office of any significant changes in the financial situation of their families which might require an increase or decrease in aid. Notification. New students receive notice of their finan- cial aid awards shortly after they have been accepted for admission, if their financial aid applications are complete. Confidentiality of awards. Since the amount of an award reflects a family's financial circumstances. College per- sonnel consider the award a private matter among the stu- dent, her parents, and the Fi- nancial Aid Office. In accordance with the legislation titled "The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974", Agnes Scott will not release this information to others without the student's written consent. International students. A limited amount of financial aid based on need is available for international students. International stu- dents may obtain both the CSS Declaration and Certification of Finances and the Financial Aid Application for Students in For- eign Countries from the Admissions Office. International students must be able to provide their own transportation, vacation and summer expenses, and health insurance. March 1 is the deadline for receipt of all admissions and financial aid documents from in- ternational students interested in aid. 18 0U1SIDE THE CLASSROOM Orientation At Agnes Scott College, the entire community works together to help incoming students successfully begin their College careers. The orientation process begins before a new student arrives on campus and continues throughout her first year. Structured programs include faculty advising, course selection, and place- ment tests, as well as formal introductions to on-campus student organizations. New students also get to know Agnes Scott through personal, less formal programs. Fcir example, each incoming student is assigned an upper class student as a "big sister." This big sister contacts the new student during the summer before her first semester and continues the special relationship through that student's first year at Agnes Scott. We also encourage social involvement through activities such as weekend events in the Atlanta area, on-campus parties with men from other colleges, and Agnes Scott student participation in events on other Atlanta campuses. International students, minority students, transfer students, and Return to College students are offered additional orientation programs tailored to their needs. All students are welcomed and encouraged to become vital members of the campus community. Living Arrangements Our residence halls are almost entirely self-governing. A senior resident or resident assistant is assigned to each hall as needed. These residential staff members are supervised by the Dean of Students. The Student Handbook, given to each student on arri- val, explains all campus regulations. All of our rooms cost the same. Except for Return to College students, all full-time students must live in a College residence hall or with parents or other relatives. Any student who wishes to change her residency status must have the permission of the Dean of Students. Student Government Agnes Scott is a community of ideal size that values open commu- nication among faculty, students, and administrators. The Stu- dent Government Association acts as a formal liaison between the students and the administration. Through this association, students are, to a large extent, self-governing as they assume re- sponsibility for many policies and regulations. The Student Handbook includes more information about student government. Health Services Student Health Services are provided on campus under the direction of a nationally certified nurse practitioner working with physician consultants in internal medicine, gynecology and psychiatry. Services include evaluation and treatment of minor health problems, health education, and counseling. Staff members can refer students with specific health problems to the medical director or to other specialists for evaluation and treatment. The student health program stresses prevention of illness, promotes self-care, and encourages positive health practices. Off-campus psychiatric counseling services are available on an appointment basis. 19 OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM Special health education and screening programs are offered throughout the year. Reference materials on health topics are located in the Student Health Center. Resident students are eligible tor all services provided hy the Student Health Center. The residence fee entitles the hoarding student to an initial evaluation and treatment of selected health problems by the nurse practitioner or referral to the appropriate medical resource. Students with serious illness or accident victims will be referred to local hospitals. The College reserves the right, if parents or guardians cannot be reached, to make decisions concerning emergency health problems for any student who is a minor. Personal Counseling A tramed counselor is available on campus for students to have individual appointments to discuss any concerns they may have. In addition the counselor organizes group sessions on a variety of topics, such as divorced parents or children of alcoholics. College Chaplain The College chaplain provides regular opportunities for worship on campus and serves as consultant for the student Christian As- sociation which develops campus-wide activities for spiritual de- velopment. In addition, the chaplain is available for pastoral care and counseling services. The chaplain seeks to make the insights of the Christian faith available to students while respecting each student's personality and religious traditions. Career Planning and Placement Our Career Planning and Placement Office helps students make well-informed decisions about career and lifestyle options. Our counselors encourage students to appreciate career development as a lifelong process that only begins at Agnes Scott. The office provides individual counseling; self-assessment aids (including SIGI Plus, a computerized career development pro- gram, and the Strong Campbell Interest Inventory); an extensive career library; seminars about specific careers and career-related issues; and job search workshops on topics such as skills assessment, resume writing, and interviewing techniques. The Shadow, Extern, and Intern Programs provide students with access to advisors and role models in different career fields. Through the Shadow Program, students spend an afternoon or an entire day talking with and observing local sponsors in careers of interest to the students. The Extern Program enables students to perform some on-the-job activities during an entire work week spent with sponsors and their colleagues. The Intern Program provides summer and semester placement which gives students on-the-job experience in many fields such as business, social service, journalism, and the arts. Some students earn wages during internships and some earn academic credit. (For more information about credit internships, see "The Academic Program" section of this catalog.) The office assists students in locating permanent, summer, and part-time work. The career library contains books and magazines related to career choices, company information as well as part- time and full-time job listings. Mock interviews are conducted to help students develop interview skills. A career forum with repre- sentatives from a variety of companies and institutions is held fall semester. Employers also visit the campus and conduct interviews j during spring semester. 20 RETURN TO COLLEGE Agnes Scott College is committed to assisting women beyond tra- ditional college age to pursue their educational objectives in a pro- gram suited to their individual needs. Students in the Return to College Program enroll in regular college courses and meet the same degree requirements as the other undergraduates. Most women who enroll in Agnes Scott through the Return to College Program plan to earn the bachelor of arts degree. Others pursue programs of study for personal enrichment, to learn more in a particular field, or to prepare for graduate study in fields such as medicine, law, or theology. Each student's program of study is carefully planned and reviewed on an individual basis. Students in the Return to College Program vary greatly in age, background, marital circumstances, socioeconomic status, and in the degree to which they participate in campus life. However, all enter with a strong desire to succeed, in spite of the demands of complex personal lives, and they enrich the College community with their energy, enthusiasm, and personal views. 21 RETURN TO COLLEGE ADMISSION The College accepts applications for fall or spring semester. Ap- plicants should submit 1) the Return to College application, in- cluding a personal essay and the $25 application fee, 2) two letters of recommendation, and 3) official transcripts of previous high school and college work, sent directly from the institutions attended. As soon as all of the application materials are received, the Return to College director will contact the applicant to arrange a campus interview. The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) is not required for admission; however, students who have taken this test are encouraged to submit their scores. Since students in the program typically have been out of school for several years, the College considers a woman's personal histo- ry as well as her academic record to determine her potential for success. Factors such as employment outside the home, communi- ty service, self-study, and personal motivation are carefully re- viewed in the admission process. Applications should be filed with the Admissions Office as early as possible, but no later than one month before the beginning of a semester. Applicants seeking financial aid must apply at least two months in advance of the semester in which they plan to enroll. FINANCIAL AID Agnes Scott admits well-qualified students without regard to fi- nancial need. Financial aid decisions are made after the student has been admitted to the College and has chosen her courses for the term. Financial aid is available for full- or part-time study to women who demonstrate financial need and have no bachelor's degree. All financial aid awards for Return to College students consist of grant and loan funds provided chiefly through the Irene K. Woodruff Financial Aid Fund. Financial aid recipients must en- roll each semester for a minimum of 6 semester-hours of credit. To apply for financial aid 1) Complete the Financial Aid Form (FAF) and mail it to the College Scholarship Service for processing. Processing may take four to six weeks. Do this as soon as the application for admission is tiled. 2) Send to the Agnes Scott Financial Aid Office a com- pleted Return to College Supplemental Information Form as well as a copy of your most recent federal income tax return. The FAF and Supplemental Information Form are available from the Fi- nancial Aid Office. Health Record To protect the student in emergencies, the College requires a com- pleted Entrance Health Record to be on file at the Student Health Service before a student attends classes. Health record forms are sent to students after they have accepted the College's offer of ad- Classification All students in the program enter as unclassified (nondegree) stu- dents. Those planning to earn a degree may apply for classifica- tion after establishing a successful academic record at Agnes Scott. They must begin the classification process before complet- ing 24 semester-hours of credit. Students who do not intend to earn a degree may earn a maximum of 24 semester-hours of cred- it. Requests for exceptions to this policy should be directed to the Committee on Academic Standards. To begin classification, a student notifies the Return to College director of her intent to become classified, takes recommendation forms to two professors under whom she has taken course work, and asks each professor to write a recommendation on her behalf. The recommendations are then sent directly to the Return to Col- lege director, who forwards them, along with a copy of the stu dent's file and academic record, to the Admissions Committee for review. The Committee bases its decision to grant classification on the recommendations and on the strength of the student's performance at Agnes Scott. A student whose request for classification is denied may petition the Committee on Academic Standards for a review of the classification decision. Once a student has been granted classified status, she may not return to unclassified status. Students in the program are not subject to the usual minimum course load requirements nor are they expected to complete work for the degree in four years. Time limits for completion of the de- gree are: a) eight years after classification as a freshman, b) six years after classification as a sophomore, c) four years after clas- sification as a junior, and d) two years after classification as a senior. Academic credit earned at other institutions, which meets College standards, is applied toward the Agnes Scott degree upon classification. No more than 64 semester-hours (60 plus 4 for physical education) of transfer credit will be counted toward the 124 semester-hours required for the Agnes Scott degree. Interviews and Visits Women considering the Return to College Program are encour- aged to visit the campus. Arrangements to attend classes may be made through the Admissions Office. The director of the Return to College Program welcomes the opportunity to meet with prospective students to answer questions about the program or to discuss transcripts of previous college work. 22 THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM THE ACADEMIC COMMUNITY Intellectual independence, academic excellence, and informed choice form the hasis of the academic program at Agnes Scott. The College holds each student responsible for her course of study within the parameters of academic excellence set hy the College's Specific, Distributional, and Depth Standards. To help students make informed choices, the College offers aca- demic advising at many levels. Faculty advisors assist new stu- dents, and all faculty members encourage students to seek advice at any point in academic careers. Both the dean and the associate dean of the College can offer academic advice. The dean of stu- dents and her staff, as well as the College chaplain, counsel stu- dents on personal and academic matters. Agnes Scott College is a community of individuals. Faculty members are teacher-scholars devoted to the well-being oi their students. Senior counselors, residence hall assistants, and big sis- ters represent a student body which cares for each of its members. Students should not hesitate to seek advice from any of the members of the Agnes Scott community. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE Agnes Scott College confers the degree of Bachelor of Arts.

No more than one Specific or Distributional Standard may be satisfied by transfer credit after a student has been admitted (see transfer credit). No course may be used by a student to satisfy more than one distributional standard. No more than one Distributional Standard can be satisfied in one department (except for courses in Creative Writing); cross- listed courses count in the distributional area of the department in which the course is taught.

The student must have the approv- al of the Agnes Scott department concerned and the dean or asso- ciate dean of the College. Satisfying the Specific and Distributional Standards by Exemption A student exempted from a Standard does not always receive credit toward her degree. However, the basis for the exemption may also be the basis for credit. (See "Advanced Placement Cred- it" under the ADMISSION AND FINANCIAL AID section of this catalog.) Inquiries about exemption should be made to the dean or associate dean of the College. Transitional Policies Students in the class of 1989 took some courses on the quar- ter system. In order that those students will not be penalized by the transition to the semes- ter system, the faculty has ap- proved the following policies for members of that class only: ( 1 ) Four quarter-hours in a Distributional Standard will satisfy the "one semester course" requirement of that Standard. (2) Two quarter courses from different departments with- in a Distributional Standard may be combined to satisfy that Distributional Standard. Depth Standards The Depth Standards develop a student's command of a partic- ular subject matter by her com- pletion of a major. Besides de- partmental majors, Agnes Scott offers interdisciplinary majors and student-designed majors. A major is: (a) a minimum of 30 semes- ter-hours within one 24 THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM discipline, exclusive of required courses outside the discipline and exclusive of internships. In interdisciplinary programs, the minimum hours are specified in the programs' descriptions. (b) a maximum of 48 semester-hours within one discipline, exclu- sive of required courses outside the discipline hut inclusive of internships. In interdisciplinary programs, the maximum hours are specified in the programs' descriptions. Any hours beyond the maximum must represent work beyond the 124 se- mester-hours required for the degree. Credit received in satisfying Specific and Distributional Stan- dards may apply to Depth Standards. A student should consult the chair of her major department or program on this matter. A student usually selects a major during the second semester of her sophomore year. Information on majors is provided under the departmental and program listings of the COURSES OF STUDY section of this catalog. Freshmen and sophomores should review the requirements of majors they are considering in order to deter- mine if any courses must be taken during freshman and sopho- more years. When considering a major, students should talk with the chair of the department or program. They should also seek the advice of other department members and of their faculty advisors. The Residence Requirement The junior and senior years, or three of the four years including the senior year, are to he completed at Agnes Scott. All students must earn a minimum of 60 semester hours in Agnes Scott Col- lege academic courses toward the 124 hours required for the de- gree. Under special circumstances, a student who has completed three years at Agnes Scott, or two years including a year at the upper-division level, may take her senior year at another institu- tion. A request for exception to the residence requirement must be filed with the dean of the College by the beginning of the spring semester of the preceding session. Permission may then be grant ed by the Committee on Academic Standards on recommenda- tion of the chair of the major department and the dean of the College. COURSES, GRADES, EXAMINATIONS, AND HONORS Courses The College operates on a variable credit-hour early semester cal- endar. The unit of credit is the semester-hour. Courses carry from 1 to 5 semester-hours credit. Usually 1 credit hour is granted for each contact hour. Laboratories are usually 3 contact hours and carry 1 credit hour. Semester courses in physical education are often 2 half-semester credits (each carrying .5 semester-hours credit). All courses are semester courses, i.e. courses which begin and end within a semester, with final grades at the end of the semes- ter. Credit is given upon successful completion of each semester Course Numbering Courses are numbered according to level of difficulty. Courses numbered in the lOO's introduce a discipline. Courses numbered in the 200's are intermediate, though they may introduce students to an area or aspect of a discipline. Courses numbered in the 300's and 400's are advanced. Students should consult their instructors or faculty advisors to determine the appropriate course levels. Course Loads The usual course load is 1 5 semester-hours. The minimum course load is 12 semester-hours; the maximum is 18 semester-hours. Courses taken under cross-registration are included in a student's course load. Exceptions are made by the Committee on Academic Standards. Students seeking exceptions should consult the dean or associate dean of the College. Unclassified students and students in the Return to College Pro- gram are not subject to the minimum course load limitation. 25 THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM Grades Grades are officially recorded as follows: A, excellent; B, good; C, average; D, passing; E, conditional failure with the privilege of re- examination; F, failure; 1, incomplete; WP, withdrew passing; WF, withdrew failing; MED, medical withdrawal. Grades for courses taken on a pass/fail basis are recorded as P or F. Except for courses taken on a pass/fail basis, grades are as- signed the following quality- points: A = 4 quality-points per semester hour, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1,F = 0. Grades of 1,P,E, WP, and WF are excluded from the calculation of quality- point ratios. Only grades for courses taken at Agnes Scott are factored into a student's quality-point ratio. Grade reports are sent to stu- dents at the end of each The Pass/Fail option Juniors and seniors may choose a total of 8 semester-hours of course work on a pass/fail ba- sis. Forms for this request are in the Registrar's Office. They must be completed by one week after the day mid-semester grades are due in the Regis- trar's Office. A student may not elect a course on a regular credit basis if she first elected it on a pass/fail basis. The pass/fail option is not available for courses taken to satisfy Spe- cific and Distributional Stan- dards; courses taken to satisfy Depth Standards, including re- quired courses outside the disci- pline; certain courses in the teacher education program. All grades for internships are recorded on a pass/fail basis. These hours are in addition to the 8 semester-hours allowed for pass/fail. Internships are an exception to the policy prohib- iting courses taken to satisfy Depth Standards from being pass/fail. Registering for courses All students must register for classes on the dates announced in the College Calendar. There is a $10 fee for late registration. No student is allowed to register after the 10th calendar day of the semester. If a student is not properly registered for a course, she will not receive credit for the course. Adding courses No new course may be added after the 10th calendar day of the semester. Physical Education courses are covered by a different set of add regulations. See the course listings under the Depart- ment of Physical Education for procedures. Withdrawing from courses The last day to withdraw from a course without a grade of WP or WF is one week after mid-semester grades are due in the Regis- trar's Office. In this case, the course will not be on her record. Stu- dents who withdraw from classes after that date will receive a WP or WF grade on their records. No course may be dropped af- ter the last day of classes. 26 THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM Physical Education courses are covered by a different set of withdrawal regulations. See the course listings under the Depart- ment of Physical Education for procedures. In cases of medical emergency, a student may withdraw from a course with the designation MED (medical withdrawal), which will appear on her record. Medical withdrawals are authorized by the dean or associate dean of the College only when a medical emergency is described and certified in writing by a licensed phy- sician or psychologist. Students in Independent Study (490) are covered by the with- drawal procedures of the program. Auditing courses Students may audit courses with written permission from the dean or associate dean of the College and the approval of the in- structor. Students are subject to any restrictions or requirements the instructor may wish to impose. Audited courses do not appear on a student's record. The student's academic record and course load are factors considered in granting permission to audit. No student will be given permission to audit after the 10th day of classes. A student may not take for credit a course she has audited earlier. Class Attendance The effectiveness of instruction at Agnes Scott is directly related to regular class attendance. While attendance at academic ses- sions is not mandatory, with the exceptions noted in the following paragraph, the responsibility for work missed is entirely that of the individual student. Attendance at all academic appointments is required of stu- dents on Academic Probation and of freshmen during their first semester. These students are permitted one unexcused absence in each class during the semester. Absence Committee Students who are sick, have a death in the family, or have other extenuating circumstances may apply to the Absence Committee to have assignments such as tests, papers or presentations accept- ed later or earlier than was originally assigned. A penalty may be given by the Committee for late work. Students without voluntary class attendance should ask the Committee for excuses from classes they miss. These request forms are in the dean of students' office. Students should consult The Student Handbook for addi- tional information. Tests Tests are announced at least a week in advance. Attendance at these tests is mandatory. No student is required to take more than two tests on one day provided she notifies the instructor at the time the third test is announced. If a student, because of unavoida- ble circumstances, cannot take a test at the appropriate time, per- mission to take the test at another time may be granted by the Committee on Absences or, in the case of illness, by the dean of students. Completion of semester courses All work for a semester course, except final examinations and pa- pers in lieu of final examinations, must be completed by 9 a.m. of the first reading day of the semester. Instructors may require work other than final examinations to be completed earlier. In certain cases, the dean or associate dean of the College may authorize a grade of Incomplete (I) in consultation with the in- structor. A date will be set for completion of the work. Unless the work is completed by that date, the instructor will turn in a grade based upon the completed work and the course requirements. Written Work The grade on any unexcused late written work is automatically reduced by one-third of a letter for each day the paper is late, in- cluding Saturday and Sunday. When papers are late because of a prolonged illness, an excuse may he provided by the dean of students. Final examinations Final examinations are given at the end of each semester. Except for a few final exams scheduled in advance (because of the nature of the course or the size of the class), students schedule exams dur- ing the College's final examination period. If a student is unable to complete final examinations during the College's final examination period due to illness or other excused cause, she may take those final examinations at a time specified by the dean or associate dean of the College. A notation of "I" (In- complete) will appear on the student's record until a permanent grade has been recorded. Re-examinations Re-examinations given in cases of conditional failure (grades of E) must be taken during the first week of the semester after fail- ure. In this case, the final grade can be no higher than D. Graduation honors Requirements for graduation With Honor and With High Honor are available in the Registrar's Office. Academic honors The Beta of Georgia Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa was established at Agnes Scott in 1926. The chapter holds annual elections ac- cording to criteria and procedures prescribed by the United Chapters. The College recognizes superior academic work in several ways. At the Honors Convocation held each fall, the dean of the College presents the Honor Lists and announces the Stukes Scholars, three students who rank first academically in the rising sopho- more, junior, and senior classes for the preceding session. Other honors include the Dana Scholarship Program, begun in 1970 with a grant from the Charles A. Dana Foundation. Aca- demic promise, leadership potential, and financial need are crite- ria for this honor. The Alpha Delta chapter of Eta Sigma Phi, a national honorary fraternity of Greek and Latin students, was organized at Agnes Scott in 1928. The society encourages classical scholarship and appreciation of ancient learning, both in the Agnes Scott student body and in the local high school. Membership is based on scholarship. Founded at Muhlenberg College in 1930, Phi Sigma Tau is a member of the Asso- ciation of College Honor So- cieties. The Agnes Scott chapter was organized in 1979. The society links phi- 27 THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM losophy departments in accredited institutions and students inter- ested in philosophy. Membership is open to qualified students who have taken at least three courses in philosophy. Honor List, Dean's Honor List A student is eligible for the Honor List at the end of a semester if she has completed 1 2 semester-hours in academic courses that se- mester with a semester quality-point ratio of at least 3.3 and no grade below C in an academic course, including courses taken un- der Cross Registration. Cross registration courses are not calcu- lated in the quality point ratio. A student is eligible for the Dean's Honor List at the end of a se- mester if she has completed 12 semester-hours in academic cours- es that semester with a semester quality-point ratio of at least 3.7 and no grade below C in an academic course, including courses taken under Cross Registration. Cross registration courses are not calculated in the quality point ratio. Confidentiality of student records The Family Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 or the Buckley Amendment protects the privacy of educational records, estab- lishes students' rights to inspect and review their records, and pro- vides ways to correct inaccurate and misleading data. Agnes Scott College makes every effort to comply fully with this legislation. Certain information is considered public and the College releas- es this information at its discretion. Unless a student files written notification to withhold disclosure, the College will release an- nouncements of graduation honors and awards, and will verify dates of attendance and conferral of degrees. Names, addresses, and other directory information will be released for internal use and in the College directory. The College releases transcripts of academic records and statements of academic status to third parties only with the student's written authorization. Parents who have filed a written request with the registrar certifying that their daughters are dependents (according to section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1952) also receive this information. A student or her parent has the right to challenge any content of the student's educational record considered to be inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of the student's privacy or other rights. Such a challenge may be directed to the registrar of the College and, finally, to the United States Department of Education. ACADEMIC STANDARDS Classification A classified student is one who has been admitted as a candidate for the Agnes Scott degree. Students are classified as follows: Freshmen: students who have earned fewer than 24 semester- hours of credit. Sophomores: students who have earned at least 24 semester-hours of credit and a cumulative quality-point ratio of at least 1.50. Juniors: students who have earned at least 56 semester-hours of credit and a cumulative quality-point ratio of at least 1.75. Seniors: students who have earned at least 88 semester-hours of credit and a cumulative quality-point ratio of at least 1.91. Classified students are advised to complete 25 percent of the se- mester-hours required in academic courses for the degree during each academic year. The recommended semester-hours for class standing are sophomore, 30; junior, 60; senior, 90. (These num- bers do not include credit for courses in physical education.) The minimum semester-hours for class standing are: sopho- more, 24; junior, 56; senior, 88. A student with less than these minimums is usually placed on academic probation. (These num- bers do not include credit for courses in physical education.) Unclassified students are not candidates for the degree. An un- ' classified student may be working toward a degree but has not , been admitted as a candidate, may be not working toward a degrees (special student), may be a transient student earning a degree at another institution, or a secondary school student in a joint- : enrollment program. Unclassified students may earn a maximum of 24 semester- j hours credit in academic courses at Agnes Scott. Requests for ex- ' ception should be directed to the Committee on Academic Stan- dards. Unclassified students who wish to become degree candi- dates must notify the director of the Return To College Program : of their intent. This must be done before completing 24 semester- i hours of credit in academic courses. Once classified, a student may; not return to unclassified status. I Academic probation and academic warning Academic probation is imposed by the Committee on Academic , Standards at any time as a result of unsatisfactory academic per- i formance. This probation notifies a student that unless her aca- I demic performance becomes satisfactory, she may be dismissed, j A student on academic probation is permitted only one i unexcused absence in each academic course. Further absences | may result in academic dismissal during the semester. Additional ; restrictions may also be imposed for students on academic proba- I tion. ' (National Association for Intercollegiate Athletics regulations state that students on academic probation may not participate in intercollegiate sports.) ; A full-time, classified student usually is placed on academic pro-; bation at the end of a semester if she: i D has grades of E or F in two academic courses; or I D has achieved fewer than 9 semester-hours credit in academic courses; or ! C has a semester quality-point ratio less than the minimum for her classification: freshman - 1.50; sophomore - 1.75; junior - 1.91; senior -2,00 A full-time, classified stu- dent usually is placed on aca- demic probation at the end of a session if she has a cumula- tive quality-point ratio less than the minimum for her classification or if she has not achieved the minimum se- mester-hours for her classifi- cation in the next session: sophomore - 24; junior - 56; senior - 88 (These numbers do not include credit for courses in physical education.) A part-time, classified stu- dent usually is placed on aca- demic probation at the end of a semester if she: D has grades of E or F in two academic courses; or n passes fewer than two- thirds of the academic work for which she registered; or nhas a semester quality- point ratio less than the minimum for her classifiO- cation: freshman - L50; sophomore - L75; junior - 1.91; senior -2.00 28 THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM An unclassified student usually is placed on academic probation at the end of a semester if she has received grades of E or F in two academic courses. Unclassified students whose academic perfor- mance is considered unsatisfactory in other ways may also be placed on academic probation. The Committee on Academic Standards may waive the guide- lines for academic probation if a student has been forced to reduce her academic load because of extenuating circumstances. A student who usually would be placed on academic probation may instead be placed on academic warning by the Committee on Academic Standards. This is done when the committee decides that mitigating circumstances do not justify academic probation. Academic warning may carry some restrictions. A student on ac- ademic warning may be placed on academic probation at any time during a semester. If her academic performance is unsatisfactory, she will be placed on academic probation for the next semester. Good Standing A student is in good standing if she is not on academic or discipli- nary probation. Academic Dismissal Academic dismissal requires the student to separate from the Col- lege for academic reasons. The Judicial Review Committee of the College imposes academic dismissal for a specific period on rec- ommendation of the Committee on Academic Standards. Students given academic dis- missal usually are eligible for readmission after one year. Full-time, classified students are subject to academic dis- missal n for failure to earn 1 8 se mester-hours of credit in academic courses in any academic session, or _ for failure to achieve appropriate class standing for two consecutive years, or ' for extremely poor academic performance during the first semester on Academic Probation, or Z after being on Academic Probation for two consecutive semesters. Students may be given aca- demic dismissal at any time if the Committee on Aca- demic Standards judges their academic performance to be unsatisfactory. Part-time, classified stu- dents are subject to academic dismissal after two consecu- tive semesters of academic probation. Unclassified students may continue their work at the College as determined by the dean or associate dean of the College, subject to confirma- tion by the Committee on Academic Standards. The Committee on Academic Standards may waive the guide- lines for academic dismissal if a student has been forced to reduce her load because of extenuating circumstances. Disciplinary Probation, Suspension and Dismissal For a violation(s) of social regulations or policies, Honor Court may recommend to the Judicial Review Committee that a student be placed on disciplinary probation or be suspended or dismissed. Suspension is made with a stipulated time of return when the stu- dent is automatically reinstated in good standing if she so desires. A student who is dismissed must apply for readdmission. The Ju- dicial Review Committee may specify a length of time that a stu- dent must wait before she may apply for readmission. Administrative Dismissal A student whose conduct indicates that she is not in sympathy with the ideals and standards of the College or who is not mature enough for its programs may be asked to withdraw. In such cases the judgment of the President, Dean of the College and Dean of Students is sufficient, and it is not necessary that specific reasons be given. The College maintains the right to enter a student's room for the purpose of maintenance, fire, safety, and upholding College regulations and policies. 29 THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM The Judicial Review Committee of the College is given the responsibility of: 1. Reviewing and acting on recommendations of Representative Council which affect the powers and philosophy of student government, or which pertain to major regulations concerning student welfare; 2. Acting upon recommendations of Academic Standards Com- mittee that a student who has not met the academic standards of the CopUege be dismissed. 3. Acting upon the recommendation of Honor Court that a stu- dent be placed on disciplinary probation or be suspended or dis- missed 4. Requiring the withdrawal of any student whose presence is thought to he injurious to the interests of the College communi- ty; or imposing the penalty of administrative probation in situ- ations involving a student's failure to meet the standards or ex- pectations of the College community. 5. Assuming original jurisdiction in a student-initiated discipli- nary action in which the committee feels that justice has not been served. Members The President of the College (Chair) The Dean of the College The Dean of Students The Registrar Four members of the faculty President of the SG A President of the Honor Court President of the Interdormitory Council Transfer Credit Transfer credit is given for grades of C or better in courses taken at accredited colleges and universities if approved by the dean or associate dean of the College, in consultation with the appropriate academic departments. No credit is given for courses with pass/ fail or satisfactory/unsatisfactory grades. Once a student has been admitted to Agnes Scott College, she may satisfy only one Specific or Distributional Standard at anoth- er institution. This applies to students on leave of absence, stu- dents who have withdrawn and been readmitted, students in the program of cross-registration, and students attending summer school. A student may also transfer after admission, a maximum of 20 semester hours of credit to Agnes Scott from another institution, including work taken in summer school, while on leave of ab- sence, or after the student has withdrawn and before readmission to the College. Only 10 of these 20 hours may be taken while on leave or leaves of absence. These hourly restrictions do not apply to students on approved Junior Year Abroad, Washington Semes- ter, cross registration, or exchange programs. Grades for credit earned at another institution are not factored into a student's quality point ratio. A student must earn a minimum of 60 hours in Agnes Scott College academic courses toward the 124 hours required for the Agnes Scott degree. Academic courses do not include courses in physical education. Grades for transfer credit are not factored 30 THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM into a student's quality point ratio. Exceptions to the above policies may be made by the Commit- tee on Academic Standards. Summer School Credit for approved summer courses at accredited colleges and universities may be applicable to the requirements for the Agnes Scott degree. No credit is given for a summer school course if the grade is less than C. Credit for summer school courses is not fac- tored into a student's quality-point ratio. Students planning to take summer school courses should con- sult the dean or associate dean of the College before enrolling in summer school. All courses require approval by the dean or asso- ciate dean of the College, in consultation with the appropriate ac- ademic department. Only one Specific or Distributional Standard may be satisfied by work in summer school. Courses to satisfy Depth Standards must also be approved by the chair of the stu- dent's major department. Usually no more than two semester courses of summer school work may apply to the requirements for a major. A maximum of 12 semester-hours will be approved per sum- mer, and no more than 20 semester-hours of summer school work will be credited toward the 124 semester-hours required for the Agues Scott degree (see TRANSFER CREDIT). The Committee on Academic Standards may make exceptions. Hours in Agnes Scott Summer Programs are not included in these limits. Leave of Absence The purpose of a leave of absence is to allow a student a break in her studies without having to withdraw from the College and ap- ply for readmission. A request for a leave of absence should be submitted to the as- sociate dean of the College for approval by the Committee on Ac- ademic Standards by the end of the course selection period prior to the semester or semesters requested. Except under the most un- usual of circumstances, no requests for a leave of absence during that semester will he considered after classes have begun. A leave of absence may be for one or two semesters, with a maximum of two semesters during her college career. A student may request the associate dean of the college to extend her leave of absence from one semester to two semesters. The Committee on Academ- ic Standards must approve the extension. A student granted a leave of absence need not apply for read- mission. Within a reasonable time, she should notify the associate dean of the College of her intent to return as a student. A student who does not return within the time specified for her leave will he considered to have withdrawn. She must apply for readmission before she can return. A leave of absence may not be used to attend classes full-time at another institution. If, for good reason, a student on leave wish- es to take some coursework at another college or university, she should first consult with the associate dean of the College who will serve as her academic advisor for the duration of the leave. Except under very special circumstances strict limitations apply as to the amount of academic credit that may be earned during a leave of absence; six hours during a one-semester leave and ten hours during a one-year leave. If academic credit is attempted, a student must submit an official transcript to the College prior to her return. If a student is not in good standing at another institu- tion, it will be necessary for her to apply for readmission before she can return to Agnes Scott College. Exceptions to the above policies may be made by the Commit- tee on Academic Standards. A student whose leave of absence is approved must pay a non- refundable $275 continuation fee for the leave period. When she returns to Agnes Scott College, the $275 will be applied toward her expenses. Withdrawing from the College A student who wishes to withdraw from the College must obtain a withdrawal card from the dean or associate dean of the College, or the dean of students. Withdrawal is not official until a with- drawal card has been signed by one of the deans. Withdrawal cards will not be signed while academic or di.sciplinary actions, in- volving the student, are in process. A student may not withdraw after the last day of classes. Grades for students whose withdrawal cards are signed will be determined on the bases described in sections "Grades" and "Completion of Semester Courses" in this catalog. For the financial aspects of withdrawal from the College, see COSTS AND FEES in this catalog. Readmission Students who have withdrawn or been dismissed from Agnes Scott and wish to return must submit an application form with the $25 nonrefundable application fee. The application is availa- ble from the Admissions Office. Students must also send tran- scripts of college work taken since leaving Agnes Scott, and the recommendation of a professor under whom she did this recent work. The Admissions Committee reviews these applications as part of its normal admission decisions. Students who have not pursued additional study may complete a short application form, also available from the Admissions Of- fice, which is reviewed by the dean of the College and the dean of students. In such cases, the College reserves the right to require an official application for admission. SPECIAL CURRICULAR OPPORTUNITIES Acceleration A student may complete the requirements for the degree in fewer than eight semesters. She may accelerate her progress by: entering with credit from Advanced Placement examinations of the College Entrance Examination Board, Higher Level examina- tions of the International Baccalaureate, or joint-enrollment pro- grams; carrying a heavier course load; attending summer sessions at other institutions or an Agnes Scott summer program. A student planning to accelerate should consult the chair of her major department. Permission to accelerate must be obtained from the dean or associate dean of the College. Cross Registration Cross registration at member institutions of The University Cen- ter in Georgia allows students to take courses not available at Agnes Scott. Students from member institutions may also take courses at Agnes Scott. Grades for courses taken through cross registration are not fac- tored into a student's quality point ratio, but grades of A, B, C, or D are accepted for credit hours. Only one specific or distributional standard may be fulfilled by courses taken under cross registra- tion (see TRANSFER CREDIT). Courses taken to satisfy Depth Standards must be approved by the chair of the major department. All courses must be approved by the dean or associate dean of the College. Students enrolled in cross registration courses are subject to the regulations of the institution where the course is taken, including deadlines for application, registration, and withdrawing from a course. Students should apply for approval to the dean or associate dean of the College prior to the end of course selection for the semester prior to which they plan to enroll in cross registration. 31 THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM The member institutions of The University Center in Georgia are: Agnes Scott College Atlanta College of Art Atlanta University Center Atlanta University Clark College Interdenominational Theological Center Morehouse College Morehouse School of Medicine Morris Brown College Spelman College Columbia Theological Seminary Emory University Georgia Institute of Technology Georgia State University Kennesaw College Mercer University in Atlanta Oglethorpe University Southern Technical Institute University of Georgia Students considering cross registration should first read the cross registration guidelines (available in the Office of the Dean of the College) and then consult the associate dean of the College. Agnes Scott summer programs Agnes Scott offers several summer study programs, both abroad and in the United States. These programs are usually offered al- ternate years. Descriptions of these programs are included among departmental offerings and the Global Awareness section. Dual Degree Programs with Georgia Institute of Technology A student may combine three years of liberal arts studies at Agnes Scott with two years of specialized work at the Georgia In- stitute of Technology. On completion of this five-year liberal arts/ professional program, the student will receive the Bachelor of Arts degree from Agnes Scott and a bachelor's degree from The Georgia Institute of Technology. With advanced planning, a few outstanding students will he able to complete a master's degree at The Georgia Institute of Technology with a minimum of addition- al time. Students interested in the 3-2 programs should consult the Agnes Scott dual-degree coordinator as early as possible, prefera- bly in the freshman year. The student must select a major and plan a program which will satisfy all Specific and Distributional Standards for the Agnes Scott degree by the end of the junior year; and, if the student should elect to remain at Agnes Scott for the senior year, all requirements for an Agnes Scott departmental major. Admission to the program at The Georgia Institute of Technol- ogy is based on completion of the above requirements and on the recommendation of the dual-degree coordinator at Agnes Scott. The degree at The Georgia Institute of Technology may be in a variety of engineering fields, information and computer science, industrial management, management science, or biotechnology. Dual Degree Program in art and architecture with Washington University A student may combine three years of liberal arts studies at Agnes Scott with four years of specialized work in architecture at | Washington University (St. Louis). On completion of the three i years at Agnes Scott and the first year of architecture the student ' receives the bachelor of arts degree from Agnes Scott. She then continues her studies in the graduate program in architecture at i Washington University for three years to receive a master's de- gree in architecture. I The "3 + 4" program is designed for students who wish to obtain ! their undergraduate education at Agnes Scott and to have an ear- ly start on their graduate professional education in architecture, i By taking advantage of this cooperative program, the student can i complete both degrees in seven years. Students interested in the "3 + 4" program should consult the chair of the Department of Art as early as possible, preferably in the freshman year. Admission to the program at Washington University is based j on completion of certain requirements and on the recommenda- J tion of the dual-degree coordinator for the program. J Exchange program with Mills College Agnes Scott College and Mills College, in the San Francisco Bay area (Oakland, California), have an exchange agreement ena- , hling students enrolled at each college to spend a semester or year at the other college. Participants remain enrolled in their home college and pay all fees to their home college. A student who participates in the ex- change may not transfer to the other college. Permission to partic- ipate in this program is given by the Committee on Academic Standards. Students interested in attending Mills College for a semester or a year should consult the dean or associate dean of the College. German Exchange Program W Agnes Scott College and Johannes Gutenberg Universitat Mainz ' at Germersheim have entered into an exchange program whereby |{ students enrolled at each college can spend a semester or a year at I the other college. Participants remain enrolled in their home college and pay all j' 32 THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM fees (exclusive of travel) to their home college. Permis- sion to participate in this pro- gram is given by the Commit- tee on Academic Standards. Students interested in at- tending Johannes Gutenberg Universitat Mainz at Ger- mersheim should consult the dean or associate dean of the College. INDEPENDENT STUDY (490) Independent study gives su- perior students the opportuni- ty to explore some field of in- tellectual or artistic interest and to produce a related piece of work. Every student with junior standing and a cumula- tive quality-point ratio of B (3.0) or better is eligible to ap- ply to the program. Her appli- cation must be approved by the appropriate department. The program may begin as early as the spring semester of the student's junior year. The program may carry 3 or 4 hours credit per semester, with a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 8 hours in total. Independent study completed in one semester must have a minimum of 4 hours. To graduate with high honor, a student must have completed In- dependent Study (490) for at least 4 semester-hours credit. Interested students should apply in writing to the appropriate department chair. Students wishing to begin independent study during the fall semester of their senior year must apply two weeks before Course Selection Week in the spring semester of their jun- ior year. Those wishing to begin their study in the sprmg semester of their junior year, or who wish to undertake a one-semester study in the spring semester of their senior year, must apply no later than November 15 of that academic year. The chair of the student's major department works with the stu- dent to determine whether she has adequate preparation to do in- dependent study and whether it is in her best academic interest. Approval is granted by the entire department. No department is obligated to provide direction for independent study except in the case of students who are proceeding at the rate (3.70) to graduate with high honor. A department should make every possible effort to allow the instructor of the student's choice to direct the inde- pendent study. By the beginning of the third week of the student's study, the chair of her major department must report the number of hours and topic of her work to the chair of the Committee on Independent Study. The program is administered by the Independent Study Com- mittee in consultation with those directing independent study. By the end of the semester (the time of last examination period; in the spring semester it is the last senior examination period) during which her work is completed, the student must file with the chair of the committee a paper or, in the case of certain creative pro- jects, a written report which explains problems of research and procedure. TTiis will be kept in the College library. Final written work must be typed according to directions distributed by the In- dependent Study Committee and bound in the regulation folder obtainable at the Campus Shop Bookstore. Only in cases of extreme hardship or extraordinary circum- stances should a student request an extension of time to write or type her paper. Such requests, endorsed by the student's director, should be made in writing to the chair of the Independent Study Committee. A student will receive written acknowledgement that her request has been granted or denied when the committee has acted on the matter. In the unusual event that the committee is not available, the dean of the College may act on the request on behalf of the committee. Since the program is open to students with differing abilities, a wide range of quality of work is expected. The final grade is based on the sustained quality of work throughout the study period and on the merit of the work. Independent Study should be the climax of the student's own intellectual or artistic development. Non-Completion of the Program Independent Study requires a serious commitment by both the stu- dent and her instructor. Withdrawal from the Independent Study program is therefore an unusual step, and the usual procedures for withdrawal from courses do not apply. They are replaced by the following. In a one-semester program a student may withdraw from the program during the first ten calendar days of the semester; in this case, independent study will not appear on her record. At no time may the student withdraw from the program by exercising the WPAVF option. In a two-semester program a student may withdraw from the program during her first semester of the program up to one week after mid-semester grades are due in the Registrar's office for that semester; in this case, independent study will not appear on her record. At no time may the student withdraw from the program by exercising the WP/WF option. In special circumstances, independent study may be converted to Special Study (410). This is permitted only when, on the basis of the quality of nature of the student's work, the director deter- mines that it is in the student's best academic interest to terminate the independent study project. The director must initiate the re- quest for conversion and the department must approve it. It must then be approved by the Independent Study Committee. In a one-semester program, the request must be made prior to one week after mid-semester grades are due in the Registrar's Of- fice for that semester. If the conversion is approved, the student will not be permitted to withdraw from the special study. In a two-semester program, the independent study may be con- verted to Special Study (410) for the first semester only. The re- quest must be made during her first semester or no later than the tenth calendar day of her second semester of independent study. If the conversion is approved, the student will not be permitted to withdraw from the special study. If a student receives a failing grade at the end of a two-semester independent study, the work of the first semester will automatically convert to special study, and the student will receive a grade commensurate with the quality of her work during the first semester. Internships (450) The College recognizes that learning through internships can be a valuable adjunct to classroom learning. The College endeavors to make possible worthwhile experiences for students whose aca- demic programs would benefit from such opportunities. Internships worthy of academic credit are those which bear a close relationship to the student's principal academic interests. Primarily, they give the student a better understanding of the ma- terials, methods, and skills of her principal academic interests. TTiese internships should give the student access to material and information not readily available in the classroom and offer her the chance to apply appropriate research methods and analysis to these materials. Internships for which academic credit is inappropriate are those which have little relationship to the College curriculum. These 33 THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM may provide secondary benefits such as personal development, professional experience, service to the community, or acquisition of purely practical information. The College facilitates participa- tion in these internships through the Office of Career Planning. A student interested in an internship for credit should obtain an application form at the Registrar's Office. She should then consult with the chair of her major department. The completed applica- tion should he submitted for review to the associate dean of the College. The deadline for applications is two weeks before the last class day of the semester. No more than 10 semester-hours of credit for internships may be applied to the 124 semester-hours required for the degree. No credit from internships may be used to satisfy the minimum 30 semester-hours required for a major. Grades for internships are either "pass" or "fail" and are an ex- ception to the policy that courses satisfying Depth Standards not be pass/fail. A student who has 8 semester-hours of pass/fail work outside her major may also have a maximum of 10 semester-hours of pass-fail work in an internship. (A student may have more than 10 semester-hours of internship credit only if those hours are in excess of the 124 required for the degree.) During the regular academic session, the deadlines for dropping courses apply to dropping internships as well. During the summer, a student may drop an internship without academic penalty with- in its first month. Tuition for credit internships during the academic session is in- cluded in the regular fees. When the College is not in session the charge for Agnes Scott credit earned under the supervision of an Agnes Scott faculty member is $300 per semester-hour. Junior Year Abroad A qualified student may substitute a year of study abroad in an ap- proved program for the work of her junior year at Agnes Scott. In some cases, one semester of study abroad may be approved. Stu- dents should distinguish carefully between a program adminis- tered through an accredited American college or university and an independent program. In both sorts of program, students pay fees directly to the host institution. To qualify for the junior year abroad, a student must have high academic standing during her first two years at Agnes Scott. She must be recommended both by her major department and the ap- propriate language department concerned. Junior year abroad in an established program A student interested in applying for established programs admin- istered through accredited American colleges or universities should consult the associate dean of the College and the chair of her major department early in her sophomore year. Written re- quests to take such programs must be filed with the associate dean of the College by March 1 of the sophomore year. Requests must be approved by the Committee on Academic Standards. Credit for grades of C or better is awarded on the basis of a transcript from the host American college or university. Grades are not entered into the student's quality-point ratio. Junior Year Abroad in an Independent Program Differences among independent academic programs available to American students abroad require careful planning of the course of study. Students interested in these programs are strongly ad- vised to consult the chair(s) of the department(s) concerned early in the sophomore year. Information can be obtained from the stu- dent's major department, the foreign language departments, and the associate dean of the College. No later than February 1 of her sophomore year, the student should submit to the associate dean of the College a letter of initial application for Junior Year Abroad with an attached letter of recommendation from the chair of her prospective major department. Other letters of recommendation 34 may be required. The letter of initial application should contain a . general outline of proposed course of study. The associate dean will send the letter of initial application to the Curriculum Committee. If the Curriculum Committee gives preliminary approval, the student will then be asked to obtain, di- rectly from the foreign university, as much detailed information as possible about her specific course of study (such as course titles and credits, tutorials, seminars, etc.). When the student has as- sembled this information, she should submit it and her final appli- ^ cation to the Curriculum Committee. The committee may invite : her and the department chair(s) concerned to discuss her final ap- plication. Once abroad, the student must inform the chair of her major department of her actual course of study. This should be done by telephone or letter within the first week of her term at the foreign ] university. If the student's course of study is different from what has been approved by the Curriculum Committee, the department chair will advise the student as to the acceptability of her revised program. The department chair should confirm in writing, with a copy to the Curriculum Committee, any instructions or advice given to the student. When the student returns, credit is awarded by the Curriculum Committee upon the recommendation of the department(s) con- cerned. Students in independent programs will be expected to bring back tangible evidence of the work done during the year (papers, tests, course notes, etc.) since credit will be assessed on the basis of these materials. THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM ROTC Agnes Scott students may participate in the Air Force or Navy Reserve Officers Training Corps at The Georgia Institute of Technology. A student who completes one of these programs qualifies as a commissioned officer and will he ordered to active duty in the United States Air Force, the United States Navy, or the United States Marine Corps. Courses in ROTC programs are taken under the cross registra- tion program of the University Center in Georgia. Seminars for Freshmen and Sophomores (190) Several academic departments offer courses (numbered 190) ex- clusively for freshmen and sophomores. The courses are limited in enrollment to allow seminar experience. A student may take only one seminar per semester. Topics vary annually and are an- nounced each spring. The seminars meet one hour a week and carry 1 semester-hour credit. These courses may not be used to satisfy Specific or Distributional Standards. Special Study (410) Special study courses (numbered 410) are offered by all academic departments and are open to senior majors (and qualified juniors) to pursue work in areas outside a department's listed courses. Nonmajors who demonstrate sufficient preparation in the disci- plirie may also take 410 courses. Applications to take special study are available in the Regis- trar's Office and must be returned there no later than two weeks before the last class day of the semester before the desired 410 course. They will then be taken to the Curriculum Committee for approval. A 410 course carries from 2 to 4 semester-hours credit. Ordinarily a student will take no more than two semester courses of special study. The application should include the name of the instructor who will offer the 410, the course title and a description of the topic to be studied, a statement of the student's preparation for such study, and the basis for the grade. The instructor must endorse the application and so must the chair of the department offering the 410. If a student requests a 410 in her junior year, the application should also state the appropriateness of the 410 to the student's major program. If a student wishes to take a 410 outside her major department, her application must describe her preparation in the department offering the 410, as well as the information described above. Student-designed majors A student may design her ciwn major to combine disciplines differ- ently from the listed interdisciplinary majors. She should consult first the associate dean of the College, who will assign her an ad- visor and oversee the development of her proposal. Proposals for student-designed majors usually are submitted to the Curriculum Committee during the spring semester of a stu- dent's sophomore year. Washington Semester Agnes Scott is a member of the Washington Semester Program. Students spend either the fall or spring semester at American University in Washington. There are five offerings in the pro- gram: American government, foreign policy, economic policy, jus- tice, and journalism. Each of these programs consists of a seminar, an internship, and a research project. Students may attend during either their junior or senior year. Deadlines for fall and spring se- mester attendance are early April and early November. A student who participates in the Washington Semester pro- gram at American University pays American University tuition to Agnes Scott College during her semester in the program. (Con- versely, when in residence at Agnes Scott College a student pays the Agnes Scott College tuition and fees.) She is responsible for her own room and board while in Washington. Limited scholar- ship money is available from American University; students are urged to apply early for consideration. Interested students should obtain information and applications from the faculty representa- tive or the Office of the Dean of the College. CAREER PLANNING AND PLACEMENT Graduate Degrees in Arts and Sciences A student interested in gradu- ate study in arts or sciences should consult first with the chair of her major department. Information on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) may be obtained in the Office of the Dean of the College. Medicine The College encourages stu- dents interested in a career in medicine, dentistry, or veteri- nary medicine to pursue the major of their choice. Medical schools are very much inter- ested in liberal arts graduates who know more about life than just the chemistry and bi- ology that go into it. Agnes Scott students have gone to medical school having majored in classics and art and other subjects. 35 THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM The Natural Sciences and Health Professions Coordinating Group, advisory to the dean of the College, counsels students on academic programs, preparation for professional school, and ways to enhance acceptability into medical programs. It also offers ad- vice about alternative careers in the health sciences. The group writes letters of evaluation to each school to which a student ap- plies. Students have the oppc^rtunity to meet with faculty and deans of medical colleges as well as medical students who are Agnes Scott alumnae. The most critical step toward admission, other than grades (quality-point ratio and grades in required science courses), is the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) or its equivalent (DCAT for dentistry, VCAT for veterinary medicine). This test should be taken during the spring of the junior year (except for the VCAT) and may be repeated during the fall of senior year to im- prove performance. Most medical, dental, and veterinary colleges require a full-year course with laboratory in biology, physics, inorganic (general) chemistry and organic chemistry. Some schools require slightly less, some more (e.g., calculus). These courses should be in progress or completed by the spring of the junior year. It is nearly impossible to do well on the MCAT if a student has not taken these courses. Other courses may assist a student's performance on the test but are not required for admission. Information about these will be provided during the freshman year. A student can make many different course choices. If she is not majoring in chemistry or physics, she will most likely defer phys- ics until the junior year. (TTie physics course at Agnes Scott has calculus as a prerequisite.) A student who majors in chemistry or biology should take introductory courses in that department dur- ing the freshman year. One possible program is: freshman year: Biology 100,105 sophomore year: Chemistry 101, lOlL, 102, 102L junior year: Chemistry 201, 202, 202L; Physics 110, 111 Another possible program is: freshman year: Chemistry 101, lOlL, 102, 102L sophomore year: Chemistry 201, 202, 202L; Biology 100, 105 junior year: Physics 110, 111 Those possibilities apply to any major. Some students may take both biology and chemistry during the freshman year if they have good backgrounds in both. Students are responsible for knowing the admission require- ments of the professional schools to which they apply. This infor- mation is in Medical School Admission Requirements, on reserve in the Resource Center in Buttrick Hall. A student who plans to attend a state-supported medical college should apply to one in her home state; out-of-state applicants usually are not accepted. Privately supported institutions typically accept many out-of-state students. States with no dental or veterinary colleges have agree- ments with other states which have such facilities. | Students interested in medical careers should register with the Office of the dean of the College when they enter the College. Law American law schools require no specific courses or major, but students interested in the legal profession must develop strong an- alytical and communication skills. Students should take maxi- | mum advantage of the richness and variety of a liberal arts curric- ' ulum. Those interested in law school should take the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) in June of their junior year. The Legal Professions Coordinating Group, advisory to the dean of the Col- lege, helps students consider law as a career, prepare for the Law School Admissions Test, and select appropriate law schools. Stu- dents planning to go to law school should register with the Legal Professions Coordinating Group. In addition, programs offered by the Career Planning and Placement Office introduce students to i the many facets of legal careers. > Teaching Agnes Scott has a state-approved program at the elementary and middle school levels and in several secondary fields. A student may also be certified in elementary/general music and/or choral music. A student who completes any of these programs satisfac- torily is eligible for initial Georgia certification, generally accept- ed throughout the United States. In a few cases, certain specific courses are required, and arrangements can usually be made to meet these requirements as a part of the Agnes Scott degree pro- gram. A student in the professional teacher education program can observe and work in a variety of school settings. Students at all levels may tutor in local schools. Students interested in teaching should consult the chair of the Department of Education during the freshman year and no later than the spring semester of the sophomore year. Business The College has selected from its curriculum a group of courses designed to familiarize students interested in business careers with skills and knowledge to facilitate their entrance into business. The program does not alter requirements for graduation nor constitute a major. It is designed to bridge an undergraduate liber- al arts curriculum and a career in business. Since [he turn nj ihe century. Agnes Scott students have left their rmir/< on the mside wall of Main's bell tower 36 GIOBAL flMHRENESS In a world that is in- creasingly interde- pendent, "global awareness" is no longer a luxury - it should be a funda- mental component of any liberal arts education. As a result of the Global Awareness emphasis at Agnes Scott College, stu- dents develop a better understanding of their own cultural values, as well as an appreciation for the physical and cul- tural diversity of our world. The Program for Glo- bal Awareness has as its goal enabling every Agnes Scott student, re- gardless of her academic interests, to live and study in another culture as part of her college ed- ucation. This is accom- plished by providing a variety of study abroad courses which are offered in January or the summer. The courses carry full academic credit, and gen- erous financial aid is available for students with demonstrated need. Agnes Scott has a long tradition of excellence in foreign language instruction, and Global Awareness courses provide students the op- portunity to put their language skills to use. Global Awareness experiences cover a wide range of academic disciplines and take students to all regions of the world: Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America. And for students who are interested in specializing in in Global Au'areness courses teach students through academic coursework and personal experience with a country's people and culture. ternational or language studies, semester and year-long opportunities are available in France and Germany, and plans are underway for developing similar programs in other parts of the world. As a result of these programs, students increase their understanding of other cultures and people. In addition to providing study abroad opportunities, 37 GLOBAL AWARENESS the Program for Global Awareness seeks to expand the students' knowledge of our global community through: n on-campus global issues programs D activities involving Agnes Scott's international students who come from all regions of the world D interaction with Atlanta's growing international sector D internships with an international flair - both in Atlanta and outside the United States - which provide valuable preparation for business or social service careers. A long-term plan is being designed that will enable Agnes Scott students to plan ahead for future Global Awareness experiences. During the 1989-1991 period courses are being planned to: Burkina Faso, China, Eng- land, France, Germany, Greece, India, Italy, Malaysia, Peru and the Galapagos Islands, and the Soviet Union. Some of these will be offered as regular courses in the fall semester (3-5 hours credit), with travel experiences scheduled for three weeks in January. Professors will provide thorough classroom preparation on campus, us- ing the January portion as an extended field experience.

In exploring women through the methods of a discipline, women students have the chance to learn about their history as women and to understand better their own developing identities. There is now in most of the disciplines a large body of theoretical formulation and scholarly research about women. The interdisciplinary approach provides students with a women- centered viewpoint that they may bring to any course in the curric- ulum, enriching their whole undergraduate learning experience. 100s.

Cunningham, Chair Assistant professors: EUzabeth Leigh Bottomley Candice J. McCloskey T. Leon Venable The academic program of the Department of Chemistry, approved by the American Chemical Society, is de- signed to give students a thorough grounding in the prin- ciples and applications of modem chemistry, as well as extensive practical experience with research-quality in- struments. The curriculum is structured to serve chemistry majors, majors in chemistry-related disciplines, and nonscience majors. Students may design individual major pro- grams to prepare for a variety of career goals, such as advanced study in chemistry, biochemistry, medical sciences, molecular bi- ology, materials science, chemical physics; technical and nontech- nical areas of the chemical industry; scientific writing or editing; chemical education; and computer applications in chemistry. After completing a chemistry major, the student should have the basic background required to be part ot an industrial or aca- demic scientific team devoted to research or applied chemistry. TTie courses should provide fundamental knowledge of: a) theories that describe matter and chemical reactions ranging from elemental to biological systems; b) techniques and instruments that are ordinarily used to investi- gate atoms, molecules, and chemical reactions; c) modem methods for acquiring, analyzing, and retrieving data. Students considering a major in chemistry should consult early on with a member of the department, even if their lower division advisors are not in chemistry. While there is considerable flexibil- ity in course selection, particularly at the upper level, the sequence of courses and prerequisites requires careful planning of both low- er level and upper level courses. The department recommends that all majors elect additional courses in mathematics, advanced biology, or advanced physics. A reading knowledge of a modern foreign language, preferably German, is also recommended. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MAJOR Courses required in the discipline: 101-lOlL, 102-102L, or equivalent; 201,202-202L;301,302, 312, 342 (see above for additional requirements) Courses required outside of the discipline: Mathematics 118, 119; Physics 110, 111,242,243 The major approved b^i the American Chemical Society requires an additional 13 hours beyond the core listed above. The non-ACS ap- proved major requires an additional 9 hours beyond the core. In both cases these hours may be m advanced chemistry, biology, mathemat- ics, andlor physics, as approved by the department.

Rackley (part-time) The student of Classics analyzes the literary and artistic works of ancient Greece and Rome, reconstructs the values and histories of those distant societies, and exam- ines their philosophical thought. In addition, she comes to understand the intellectual roots of our culture and many of our traditions and institutions. The multidisci- plinary approach of classical study helps the student develop skills in language, in analysis of social and historical problems, and in the appreciation of art and literature. These skills can be applied to many careers and professions after graduation. The Department of Classical Languages and Literatures offers courses in Greek and Latin languages and in classical civilization from texts in English. The department offers a choice of majors in Greek, Latin, Classical Languages and Literatures or Classical Studies. Majors in Greek, Latin, and Classical Languages and Lit- eratures specialize in the study of the ancient languages and litera- tures. Majors in Classical Studies combine the study of an ancient language with courses in classical civilization. Students who plan to do graduate study in Classics should choose the major in Classical Languages and Literatures, and every student considering a major in Classics is urged to take Greek or Latin in her freshman year.

Sheehey Associate professor: Edward C. Johnson, Chair Assistant professor: Rosemary T. Cunningham Instructor: Lucy A. Newton (part-time) Economics once was called Political Economy, a notation which may convey better the substance, breadth and heri- tage of the discipline. Economics is an excellent tool for studying human be- havior, individuals and groups, in a variety of institutional settings; governments, firms, banks, unions, stock ex- changes, and such. Economics pioneered in developing the methodologies of the modem social sciences. Statistics and mathematics, including cal- culus, are widely applied in modelling and verification of hypothe- ses. Models are used extensively to identify and dramatize basic laws, or tendencies in behavior. The discipline is highly theoreti- cal, rigorous and analytical, yet offering insights about ordinary, universal events. Students looking to careers in banking, management, stocks and bonds, financial analysis, retailing, law and government service, are well served by Economics. The discipline also forms very pro- ductive ties to Political Science, International Relations, History, Sociology, Psychology, Philosophy, Mathematics, and Business. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MAJOR Courses required in the discipline: 104, 105, 203, 206, 207 150 and 311 not applied toward the mmimum 30-hour major Courses required outside the discipline: Mathematics 118, 119 and one course in statistics (Mathematics 115 or Psychology 306) 104f,s.

Behan, Chair Richard D. Parry Assistant professor: Gerard Elfstrom (part-time) Instructor: Lee Horvitz Richard Parr^, Callaway Professor of Philosphy There are two different but complementary approaches to courses in philosophy. The systematic approach is through courses which deal with specific prob- lems (e.g. 104, 130, 232). The historical approach is through :ourses in the history of philo- OTphy(e.g., 206, 209, 210). Students considering courses in philosophy should seek the advice of the members of the department concerning particular courses. 1 The requirements for the major in philosophy embody two goals. The first is that the student leam, through close ivork with primary sources, the ideas of the major philosophers, rhe second is that the student [develop and practice techni- ques of critical analysis and constructive reasoning. In ful- filling the requirements, the student majoring in philosophy acquires a thorough grounding in the major areas of the disci- pline and also develops her own critical and creative philosophical skills.

Sadun T he disciplines of physics and astronomy are attempts to understand and to predict as many phenomena as pos- ible, using a few conceptual models tested by experi- ment and observation. The preparation acquired through concentration in physics or physics-astronomy provides a general, flexible foundation for graduate study or for immediate profes- sional work in physics, astronomy, or engineering. Students who wish to major in physics are strongly encouraged to take Physics 110-111 during the freshman year. Students considering the physics-astronomy major should elect the introductory astronomy sequence (Astronomy 120-121) and calculus during the freshman year. Physics 110-111 could be taken during the sophomore year, but the well-prepared student is en- couraged to enroll in this course in the freshman year. A student interested in both physics and mathematics is invited to consider a mathematics-physics major. Introductory physics and astronomy courses are open both to science majors and to nonscience majors. Astronomy courses in- corporate the use of the Bradley Observatory and the College's 30-inch Beck telescope. Most astronomy courses require some ob- servaticinal activities in the Bradley Observatory. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MAJOR PHYSICS Courses required in the discipline: Physics 110, 111, 26 additional hours as approved by the department Courses required outside the discipline: Mathematics 150, 205 PHYSICS-ASTRONOMY Courses required in the discipline: Physics 110, 111,8 additional physics hours as approved by the department Astronomy 1 20, 121, 12 additional astronomy hours as ap- proved by the department Courses required outside the discipline: Mathematics 150, 205 PHYSICS llOf.

Cochran HI Tommie Sue Montgomery Assistant professors: Janette B. Pratt (part-time) Catherine V. Scott Lecturer: Michael Meats (part-time) W^ Tjj^^l WJ r--^ *a J 9 Politics is, in the words of Brian Fay, our "deliberate efforts to order, direct, and contiol [our] collective affairs and activities, to establish ends for our society, and to implement and evaluate these ends." There are few contemporary issues, ranging from artistic freedom to unemployment, from abortion to nucleat winter, that do not involve a significant political dimension. The discipline of political science offers a student the opportunity to think systematically about and to evaluate critically our political life. The depaitment offers several introductory courses, from which a student may choose one or several depending on her particular interests. Some advanced coutses are open without prerequisites; others require prerequisite coutses or permission of the instructor. Topics courses are designed to offer advanced students opportunities to delve into selected issues in depth and to engage in independent research. In her freshman or sophomore year, a student should take 102 and one of the following: 103, 105, or 106. A major must then complete advanced course work with at least one course from each of the subfields of political theory, world politics, and comparative politics (mcluding Ametican politics). Majors are advised to take the required methodology course (399) in the junior year. Because political knowledge is so closely related to other disciplines, the department encourages majors to choose electives from many areas, but especially from history, philosophy, and other social sciences (economics, sociology, anthropology, and psychology). Courses in those departments which are crosslisted below can be applied toward the major in political science. The department encourages majors to participate in internships, such as the Governor's Internship or the Georgia Legislative Internship, and in off-campus study programs, such as Washington Semester or study abroad.

Tuniblin, Jr., Chair Associate professor: Constance A. Jones Instructors: Laurel Kearns (part-time) Kent A. Leshe (part-time) The Department of Sociology and Anthropology offers a major in sociology and an interdisciplinary major in sociology-anthropology. Sociology is a disciplined analysis o( social organiza- tion and social interaction with primary emphasis on societies of the industrial West. Courses beyond the introductory address four areas of inquiry: institutional ways of dealing with fundamental human needs, problems related to changes and disruptions in social organization, the interplay be- tween individual and group expectations, and the interdependence of the accumulated knowledge and continuing research in the discipline. As an objective approach to human social behavior, sociology addresses critical issues ot liberal education by examining the in- teraction among culture, society, and personality. Sociology is hu- manistic in its concern for the development of individuals and groups and in its emphasis on the ways in which individuals and groups search for meaning in their lives. Although students in their first two years may enroll in 300- level courses by permission of the instructor, the traditional sequence is 100- and 200-level courses immediately following Sociology 101. Requirements for the major include an introduction to sociology (101), a review of historical and contemporary theoretical contri- butions to the discipline (351, 352), an overview of the methods used in social science research (399), statistical analysis (360), and an introduction to the analysis of culture (Anthropology 101). The department recommends that students complete these requirements during their first three years in order that these courses can serve as preparation for major independent research work during the senior year. Most sociology courses embrace facets of other social science disciplines and are taught, in varying degrees, within a multidisci- plinary context. In addition to offering these perspectives in soci- ology courses, the department also cooperates with other social science departments in offering several courses jointly (statistics, cross-listed with psychology; methodology, cross-listed with polit- ical science) as well as with other disciplines outside the social sciences (sociology of religion and sociology of education). As seniors, students may enroll in the multidisciplinary social science seminar. The department encourages double majors. Students often com- bine a major in sociology with a major in another discipline in the natural sciences, the social sciences, or the humanities. The de- partment also encourages student-designed majors in which a stu- dent draws on the perspectives of various disciplines in study of a topic she has selected. Anthropology is the comparative study of culture, emphasizing both the unity of humankind and the diversity of specific peoples. Much of the information anthropologists use is gathered during participant observation of small-scale, non-Western societies. As a student learns about cultures very different from her own, she is liberated from the limited and limiting perspectives of her famil- iar world. The fundamental question "What is it to he human?" is crucial to both anthropology and other forms of liberal learning. A student majoring in sociology-anthropology should take An- thropology 101 and Sociology 101 during her freshman and/or sophomore years, for these are prerequisites to all other courses in the two disciplines. While still a sophomore, she is encouraged to take required courses at the 200 level, such as Anthropology 202 and required courses in related disciplines. During her junior year she will typically add to electives the required courses in theory and methodology (Sociology 399 and 351), freeing the senior year for completing her major with courses that are not required. Stu- dents with special interests should keep in mind the option of self- designed double majors, such as anthropology and art history, an- thropology and biology.

INDEPENDENT STUDY (2) (2) (2-4) (4-8) 91 THEATRE Assistant professors: Paul Lifton Becky B. Prophet Dudley W. Sanders, Chair The goal of the Department of Theatre is to establish high standards of creativity and critical awareness in order to deepen the student's appreciation of the theatre and its place in the liberal arts tradition. This aim is accom- plished through a program which integrates theory, his- tory, and practice. With the Winter Theatre as the laboratory, classroom acquaintance with all aspects of theatre can be expanded and supplemented through contact with the crea- tive process leading to the produced play. Students who are planning to major in Theatre should consult with a member of the Theatre department early in their college careers. It would be advantageous for prospective majors to com- plete Theatre 105 and 110 as soon as possible, since they form the working basis for the more specialized upper-level courses.
