INTRODUCTIONThe University of Connecticut is a resource for the future, both for the State of Connecticut and for the

students who enroll in its programs. The emphasis at this University is on choice: The University ofConnecticut can be anything students want it to be – it’s a matter of taking advantage of the wealth ofopportunities made available. The many programs described in this Catalog reflect a dynamic University,that is both constant and constantly growing. The University grows by responding to challenges,opportunities, and needs. What remains constant at the University’s core is its steady commitment to highquality teaching, research, and public service.

Each year, a new class of competitively selected undergraduate and graduate students brings to theUniversity the promise and potential for their futures. They are the vital natural resource from whichgreater resources grow; as they progress, the University gains strength. Each year, courses are added,dropped, and improved as the faculty of more than 1,100 teacher-scholars strives to build a strongercurriculum that will challenge these students to think logically and creatively while they gain insight,experience, and skills to realize their academic objectives. Each year, the University develops new approachesto enlarge and enhance growth experiences outside the classroom and laboratories. Each year, this Catalogrecords the growth in one of the nation’s major public research universities.

Today’s University – with nearly 26,000 students, approximately 162,500 alumni, about 125 majorbuildings and 3,100 acres in and around Storrs, three professional schools and five regional campusesin other par ts of the State, and total library holdings of nearly three million volumes – is a far cryfrom the institution in its first days.

In April 1881, the Connecticut General Assembly established the Storrs Agricultural School afteraccepting a gift of 170 acres of land, several frame buildings, and money from Charles and Augustus Storrs.The Storrs brothers were natives of Mansfield, the eastern Connecticut town in which the University islocated. The School opened on September 28, 1881, with twelve students in the first class. Growth andchange came fast in the early years. Before the turn of the century there were two name changes, to StorrsAgricultural College in 1893 and to Connecticut Agricultural College in 1899. In 1933, two years after theinstitution celebrated its fiftieth anniversary, it became Connecticut State College, a name more in keepingwith its steady advances and broadened mission. Six years later, in 1939, the General Assembly designatedthe institution the University of Connecticut, an acknowledgement of the institution’s developing importanceto the State in graduate and professional education, research, and public service.

Since the historic legislative act of 1881, the University has grown steadily and dramatically to fulfill itsmandated objectives as a provider of high quality education and public service and as a contributor to societythrough research. The University has reached out with services to all parts of the State, and it has promotedcultural enrichment by making the main campus a center for the ar ts in Connecticut.

The Jorgensen Center for the Per forming Ar ts on the Stor rs campus regularly schedulesinternationally prominent symphony orchestras, musical soloists and chamber groups, dancecompanies, and touring dramatic productions. This is complemented by Department of Music recitalsin von der Mehden Hall and by Depar tment of Dramatic Ar ts productions. The William BentonMuseum of Ar t has been acclaimed as one of Connecticut’s finest ar t museums; the diversity andquality of its exhibitions contribute to the vitality of the ar ts at the University.

The University stands with the leading institutions of the nation in the size, scope, and contributions ofits research involvement. In the last ten years, University researchers at Storrs and at the Health Centerin Farmington have attracted nearly one billion dollars in support of their work.

For more than a million Connecticut citizens each year, the University is more than classroom andlaboratories, cultural presentations and athletic contests; it is direct contact with University people workingthrough institutes, centers, extension services, and extended and continuing education programs in all 169cities and towns in Connecticut.

The University’s public service mission, which has grown apace with academic offering and researchendeavors in both scope and importance, reaches out into local government of fices and schools, intopharmacies and medical offices, into corporate laboratories and small business showrooms, onto farm landsand fishing boats. Each year, new programs evolve to meet newly identified needs in Connecticut.

The pages of this Catalog contain many of the elements of a university mission that remains constant,of an academic program that is dynamic, and of a commitment to excellence by a university and its faculty,staff and students.

GRADUATE EDUCATION ANDRESEARCH: HISTORY

The Graduate School is responsible for graduateeducation and research. It establishes, administers,promotes, and reviews all post-baccalaureateeducational programs and the curricular componentscontained therein with the exceptions of Law, Medicine,Dental Medicine, Pharmacy, and the Sixth-YearProfessional Diploma Program in Education. It servesas the primary advocate for the University’s researchmission by creating opportunities for outstandingresearch and fostering the scholarly basis for newand continuing research.

The Graduate Faculty Council functions as thelegislative body of the Graduate School. Itestablishes academic policy for graduate education,except for these areas reser ved to the Board ofTr ustees, to the University Senate, or to thefaculties of other colleges and schools.

The Graduate School offers work in 80 fields ofstudy – master’s degree study is offered in 70 fieldsand doctoral study is of fered in 65 fields. Study isof fered in these broad ar eas: agricultural,biological, biomedical, communication, marine,materials, mathematical, pharmaceutical, andphysical sciences; al l ied health; businessadministration; education; engineering; familystudies; fine arts; nursing; humanities; and socialsciences. Students admitted to the Graduate Schoolexhibit superior ability, a high level of motivation,and dedication to the pursuit of knowledge.

Graduate study had been introduced in amodest way by 1920. By the time the Universitywas char tered in 1939, fifty-five master’s degreeshad been awarded – most of them in the physicaland biological sciences. During World War II,ser ious cons idera t ion was g iven to theestablishment of a full-fledged graduate program.The Board of Trustees authorized the initiation ofdoctoral study and charged the Graduate Schoolwith responsibility for making Storrs a center forgraduate training and research. Subsequentincreases in demand for advanced work followedthe national trend of the fifties and sixties. The firstPh.D. degrees were conferred in 1949. There arenow more than 2,000 students working toward thisdegree. More than 3,500 students are enrolled inmaster’s degree programs.

The University Research Foundation wascreated by statute in 1945. Although at first anindependent entity, it became a part of the GraduateSchool in 1962. At the same time, the Of fice ofResearch Development was established. Problemsaffecting research and related graduate training arecontinuously analyzed by the two Research AdvisoryCouncils, groups of faculty members advisor y tothe Director of the Research Foundation. Throughthese agencies the Graduate School encourages andfinancially supports research, travel of facultymembers and graduate students, colloquia,fel lowship and traineeship programs, thedevelopment of the University librar y and otherfacilities, and ef for ts to improve and expandinter discipl inar y relat ions. The ResearchFoundation facilitates the preparation of proposalsfor research and training grants as well asdissemination of information about the availabilityof new sources of funds.

During the 1965 session, the ConnecticutGeneral Assembly enacted legislation giving theUniversity sole responsibility for the developmentand control of all doctoral programs financiallysuppor ted by the State. The General Assemblyappropriated funds for the construction of the firstphase of the Nathan Laselle Whetten GraduateCenter, to which the federal government alsocontributed. The Center includes faculty studiesfor research in the humanities and social sciences,administrative headquar ters for the GraduateSchool and the Research Foundation, and graduateresidence halls.

A most significant action taken by the GeneralAssembly of 1965 was the establishment of state-supported University Predoctoral Fellowshipswhich provide the Graduate School flexibility infurnishing to the most capable students the aidnecessary to complete a doctoral degree in a shortspan of time compatible with their objectives andneeds. There are more than 550 UniversityPredoctoral Fellows.

Today, support for graduate students conductingresearch is provided in large measure through avariety of external sources – including foundations,business, industr y, and gover nment. TheUniversity enjoys a happy and productive researchrelationship with many of the corporations andindustries in Connecticut.

The Graduate School observed its 50th anniversaryin 1990-91. A lecture series featuring prominentalumni representing several fields culminated in acelebration at the Old State House in Hartford.

University Information Technology Servicesprovides opportunities for all departments to uselarge, high-speed digital and analog computers. TheUniversity cooperates with the New EnglandRegional Computing Program, an organization ofabout seventy New England colleges anduniversities, to develop computing activities andshare facilities.

The Technical Services Center produces andmaintains a wide variety of scientific equipment used inresearch by faculty members and graduatestudents.

The University has a wide range of facilities,including centers and institutes, as well as research andexperimental laboratories. The Storrs AgriculturalExperiment Station also conducts programs jointlywith many University departments.

Additionally, the University has close workingrelationships with the Frank C. Munson Instituteof American Maritime History (Mystic Seaport),the U.S. Navy Submarine Medical ResearchLaborator y, the Haskins Laboratories (NewHaven), the Connecticut Agricultural ExperimentStation (New Haven), and a number of hospitalsthroughout the area – all of which permit theconduct of special research and graduate programs.


ADMISSION

To study for a graduate degree, a student must beadmitted by the Dean of the Graduate School.

No course work taken before the date of admissionto the Graduate School may be included on a planof study for a graduate degree unless specificapproval has been granted by the Dean of theGraduate School.

Unless students complete appropriate course workfor credit in the semester or summer for which theyhave been admitted, or a written request for alimited postponement has been submitted to andapproved by the Graduate School before the end ofthat semester or summer, the admission becomesinvalid. If this occurs, the student must apply forreadmission with no certainty of being accepted.

Students may earn a graduate degree only in aprogram to which they have been admitted.Ordinarily, a student is granted admission to pursuegraduate study in one field at a time. On occasion,however, a student may be permitted with approval toenroll concurrently in two different programs.

There are several approved dual degreeprograms providing the opportunity for the studentto pursue work toward two degrees simultaneously.These programs often involve the sharing of alimited and specified number of course creditsbetween the two degrees. The list of dual degreeprograms offered by the Graduate School and theother participating schools and colleges within theUniversity (e.g., the Schools of Law, Medicine, andDental Medicine) can be found in the index under“Dual Degree Programs.” In some cases, separateapplications must be filed for each of the two degreeprograms.

To be admitted to Regular status and to beginstudies, an applicant must hold a baccalaureate from anaccredited college or university or present evidence ofthe equivalent. The applicant must submit to theGraduate School of ficial transcripts covering allprevious work, undergraduate and graduate, whichmust be of at least the following quality: a cumulativegrade point average of 3.0 for the entireundergraduate record, or 3.0 for the last two years,or excellent work in the entire final year. The gradepoint average is computed on the basis of thefollowing scale: A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0,F = 0. Applicants from foreign colleges anduniversities must meet equivalent standards ofeligibility and are expected to submit of ficialtranscripts showing all work completed. Alladvanced post-baccalaureate course work isconsidered, as well.

Applicants to most programs are encouraged tosubmit test scores from the General Test of theGraduate Record Examinations to the departmentor program to which they are applying.

Many depar tments or programs require orrecommend that test scores be submitted for theGraduate Record Examinations and/or the MillerAnalogies Test. Information about makingarrangements to take these tests at this University

or at other centers may be obtained from the Bureauof Educational Research, School of Education.Letters of recommendation, usually three,preferably from members of the academicprofession, are required by all departments. Theseletters and a personal letter from the student mustbe sent to the departmental or program admissionscommittee. Departmental directory information isincluded with the application form.

Meeting the minimum requirements does notguarantee admission. Applicants must showpromise of superior achievement and must havespecific preparation for the course of study theywish to under take. If their records indicatedeficiencies, they may be refused admission orrequired either to take background courseswithout graduate credit or to demonstrate byexamination that they have acquired the requisiteknowledge or skills for graduate study. In addition,since each graduate program has a limited numberof places, the successful applicant must have arecord competitive with those of other applicantsin the same field.

Regular and Provisional Status. Applicationprocedures and required credentials for admissionto Regular status are specified above. Occasionallystudents who hold the baccalaureate but do notqualify fully for admission to Regular status maygive evidence of ability in their chosen fieldsufficiently convincing to warrant their provisionaladmission to a master’s degree program only.(Applicants are not admitted provisionally to adoctoral program.) If a Provisional student’s initialtwelve credits of completed course work(excluding 100’s-level courses) meets theminimum scholastic requirement of the GraduateSchool, he or she is accorded Regular status.Other wise, he or she is subject to dismissal. Insituations where special consideration iswarranted, and only upon the specific request ofthe major advisor, the dean may approve changinga student to Regular status if at least nine credits ofadvanced course work have been completed withsuperior grades. Regular, not Provisional, status isrequired for degree conferral.

Language-Conditional Status. Internationalgraduate applicants whose English languageproficiency does not meet the minimum standardto qualify for Regular admission (a computer-basedscore of 213 or greater, or a written test score ofat least 550, on the Test of English as a ForeignLanguage, or a score of at least 85 on the MichiganPlacement Test) may be admitted at the master’slevel as Language-Conditional Students. Thoseadmitted on F-1 visas must be fully academicallyadmissible as a Regular student (see above). Thoseadmitted on J-1 student visas may be academicallyadmissable as a Provisional student (see above).

Integrated B.S./M.S. Degree Program inPhysical Therapy. The Department of PhysicalTherapy offers an Integrated Bachelor’s/Master’sProgram leading ultimately to the Master of Sciencein Physical Therapy degree. While initialapplication is made to the UndergraduateAdmissions Office, successful completion of thebaccalaureate portion of the program is an absolute

prerequisite for admission to the Graduate Schoolfor completion of the master’s degree.

The Sixth-Year Diploma in ProfessionalEducation. This post-master’s diploma programis of fered by the School of Education. It is notadministered by the Graduate School. Inquiriesregarding the Sixth-Year Diploma in ProfessionalEducation should be addressed to the Office of theDean, School of Education, 249 Glenbrook Road,Unit 2064-C, Room 227, Storrs, Connecticut 06269-2064.

Admission to the D.M.A. Program.Appl icants are expected to demonstra teoutstanding musical ability and to have a superiorrecord of previous performance and scholarship.A completed master’s degree is required foradmission. Holding a master’s degree from this orfrom any other institution, however, does notrender the applicant automatically admissible to theD.M.A. program. Areas of Concentration offered areConducting and Performance (specifically cello,piano, trumpet, violin, viola, and voice). A personalaudition is required as par t of the applicationprocess. Inquiries should be addressed to: Directorof Graduate Studies, Department of Music, 876Coventr y Road, Unit 1012, Storrs, Connecticut06269-1012.

Admission to Ph.D. Programs. Applicantsto Ph.D. programs are expected to demonstrateoutstanding ability and to show on the record ofprevious scholarship and experience that they arelikely to do superior creative work in theirrespective fields. Holding a master’s degree fromthis or any other institution does not render theapplicant automatically admissible to a doctoralprogram. Certain master’s programs, on the otherhand, are open only to applicants likely to qualifyfor doctoral study. In general, doctoral applicantsmust meet all admission requirements for themaster’s degree as Regular graduate students andmust present evidence that they are capable ofdoing independent work of distinction.

Special Student Status. Individuals whootherwise would qualify for admission with Regularstatus but who do not seek a degree from thisUniversity may be permitted to take courses foran unspecified time if their work here meetsGraduate School standards. Special students maybe working toward an advanced degree at anotherinstitution, in which case they are presumed to befully qualified to pursue degree work at thisUniversity. Others may wish to take courses asSpecial students for personal enrichment.

Graduate Certificate Programs. An earnedbaccalaureate degree (or its equivalent) isrequired for admission. Each certificate programsets specific admissions criteria, includingminimum grade point average and standardizedtest scores (including the Test of English as aForeign Language, if required). Students currentlyenrolled in a graduate degree program must informthe certificate program coordinator of their intentto ear n the graduate cer tificate (no otherapplication is required). Students who are notcurrently enrolled in a graduate degree programmust apply for admission to a graduate certificate

program before one-half of the required course workis completed. Detailed information concerningadmissions criteria and procedures can be obtainedfrom the coordinator of the specific graduatecertificate program or from the Graduate AdmissionsOffice.

Other Non-Degree Categories. Individualswith appropriate preparation who have not beenadmitted to any of the admissions categoriesdescribed above may take courses as non-degreestudents. All non-degree students are presumedto be taking courses for reasons other than earninga cer tificate, sixth-year diploma in professionaleducation, or a graduate degree at this institution.Should they later be admitted to a graduate degreeprogram at this University, usually not more thansix credits will be acceptable toward the master’sdegree. In any event, such credits accepted towarda graduate degree must be of B (not B-) quality orhigher.

Admission of University Faculty andStaf f. University of Connecticut faculty memberswho hold tenure or a rank higher than instructorleading to tenure ordinarily may not earn agraduate degree at this institution. Exceptions tothis policy may be made by the Dean of theGraduate School, with the advice of the ExecutiveCommittee of the Graduate Faculty Council, whomust be satisfied that the intended program is inthe best interest of the University.

New England Regional Student Program.The University of Connecticut par ticipates in aregional program administered by the NewEngland Board of Higher Education. This program,known as the New England Regional StudentProgram, permits qualified residents of the NewEngland states to study with in-state tuitionprivileges or by paying an amount fifty percentabove in-state tuition (depending on the institutionin which the student enrolls), in certain programsat any of the state universities and the public four-year colleges.*

The purpose of the program is to expandopportunities in higher education for New Englandresidents by making available on a substantially equalbasis to all students those programs not commonlyoffered at every institution. This practice tends toreduce duplication of courses and thus to utilizemost efficiently the higher educational facilities ineach state.

Detailed information about this program can beobtained from the Graduate School, 438 WhitneyRoad Extension, Unit 1006, Storrs, Connecticut06269-1006, or from the New England Board ofHigher Education, 45 Temple Place, Boston,Massachusetts 02111.

Application Processing Fee .* A non-refundable fee of $55 for electronic submission or$75 for paper submission must accompany theapplication. It may not be applied toward othercharges. This fee must accompany every applicationsubmitted except for a doctoral degree program tofollow immediately a master’s degree program in

the same field at this University, or for re-applicationrequested by the Dean.

Application Deadlines. Students are advisedto file the application for admission several monthsin advance of the first semester of course work.Because many programs are filled far in advance ofapplication deadlines, prospective students areencouraged to submit their applications foradmission as early as possible. Applicants shouldcheck with appropriate academic depar tmentsconcerning deadlines. All credentials, includingofficial transcripts covering all undergraduate andgraduate work taken up to the time of application,as well as the non-refundable processing fee, mustalso have been received by deadline dates.

International Applicants. Students who arenot United States citizens or permanent residentaliens must meet additional requirements beforetheir admission is finalized. They must presentdocumentar y evidence of their ability to meet allexpenses for at least the first year of study and anacceptable plan for financing the remainder of theirprogram. Students whose native language is notEnglish must show evidence of proficiency in theEnglish language by having earned either a com-puter-based score of at least 213 or a written scoreof at least 550 on the TOEFL (Test of English as aForeign Language), administered by the Educa-tional Testing Ser vice, Princeton, New Jersey08541-6151. Some departments require the Testof Spoken English (TSE) or the Test of WrittenEnglish (TWE). All graduate students who will beser ving as teaching assistants will be required topresent evidence of competence in spoken English.This may take the form of a score of 50 or higheron the Test of Spoken English if the student’s na-tive language is not English and if the student doesnot hold a degree from an anglophone college oruniversity.

ADMISSION


ADVISORYSYSTEM

Degree programs are planned by the advisorycommittee after consultation with the student.

There is considerable flexibility in meeting specialneeds insofar as these are consistent with theregulations of the Graduate School. A degreeprogram may entail course work in more than onefield of study, but each program must include acoherent emphasis within one existing field of studyand area of concentration, if applicable.

A major advisor must be appointed at theappropriate level by the Dean of the Graduate School,by authorization of the President of the University, toadvise in a particular field of study or area ofconcentration. In applying for admission, an applicantmay indicate a preference for a particular major advisor.If at the time of admission an applicant expresses nopreference, or if the preferred advisor is unable toaccept, another may be appointed. Since consistencyof direction is important, a durable relationshipbetween the student and advisor should be formed asearly as possible. Occasionally, it may be desirable orappropriate for a student’s degree program to bedirected by co-major advisors (not more than two).Each co-major advisor must hold an appropriateappointment to the graduate faculty in the student’sfield of study and area of concentration (if applicable).

If a change of major advisor becomes necessaryfor any reason, the student must file a special form,bearing the signatures of the former advisor andthe new advisor, with the Graduate School. Thesignature of the former major advisor is requestedfor informational purposes only. It does not, in anyway, signify permission or consent on the par t ofthe former major advisor.

If a major advisor decides that it is not possibleto continue as a student’s major advisor and wishesto resign, the Graduate School must be notified inwriting as soon as possible. The student is thenprovided with a reasonable opportunity to arrangefor a new major advisor. If a new major advisor isnot identified within six weeks of the resignationof the former major advisor, the student’s graduatedegree program status is terminated. A studentwhose status has been terminated may request ahearing before the Associate Dean by filing awritten request within 30 days of receipt of the letterof termination.

The advisory committee of a master’s degreeprogram student is formed after consultation betweenthe major advisor and the student and must includeat least two associate advisors, at least one of whommust hold a current appointment to the graduatefaculty of the University of Connecticut. Anassociate advisor must possess suitable academicor scientific credentials in the field of study of thedegree. The advisory committee should be formedbefore the student has completed twelve credits ofdegree program course work and shall thensupervise the remainder of the student’s degreeprogram.

The advisor y committee of a doctoral degreeprogram student is formed after consultationbetween the student and the major advisor and shallinclude at least two associate advisors with suitableacademic or scientific credentials. The major advisorand at least one associate advisor shall be membersof the graduate faculty appointed to advise doctoralstudents in the student’s field of study and area ofconcentration, if applicable. In addition to the threeor more members chosen in the usual way, anothermember, ordinarily a member of the graduate facultyoutside the student’s field of study but in a relatedfield, may be appointed by the Dean of the GraduateSchool. If the committee consists of three members,committee decisions must be unanimous. If thecommittee consists of four or more members,committee decisions are considered adopted ifthere be no more than one negative vote, althoughthe major advisor must always vote in theaf firmative. Committee decisions involving theoutcome of the General Examination, approval ofthe disser tation proposal, oral defense of thedissertation, or approval of the dissertation itself,however, must be unanimous in any event.

A member of the University of ConnecticutGraduate Faculty who has retired from active servicemay be considered for appointment as MajorAdvisor for a newly-admitted master’s or doctoralstudent. Application is made to the ExecutiveCommittee of the Graduate Faculty Council andrequires submission of a curriculum vita and lettersof suppor t as well as the endorsement of theappropriate department or program head. Theretired faculty member must present substantialevidence of ongoing research and scholarly activityin the field. Separate application is required foreach newly-admitted student for whom a retiredfaculty member wishes to ser ve as Major Advisor.Such appointments are made by the Dean with theadvice of the Executive Committee.

A current graduate student may not serve as amember of another graduate student’s advisor ycommittee.

If deemed appropriate by a graduate student’smajor advisor, the major advisor may request that asuitably qualified external associate advisor beappointed to the student’s advisory committee bywriting to the Graduate School. The request shouldbe accompanied by a cur riculum vita for theindividual being recommended for appointment.Such appointments are made on the basis ofadvanced training and significant experience in thefield of study. An appointment as external associateadvisor is limited to an individual student’s advisorycommittee and does not imply in any waymembership on the Graduate Faculty of theUniversity. Ordinarily, not more than one externalassociate advisor is appointed to any master’s ordoctoral student’s advisor y committee. The majoradvisor and at least one associate advisor on anydoctoral student’s advisor y committee must bemembers of the University of Connecticut GraduateFaculty.

The major adv isor i s respons ib le forcoordinating the supervisor y work of the advisorycommittee. Therefore, when the major advisor is

to be on leave or is not in residence, it is the majoradvisor’s responsibility to appoint an acting majoradvisor. The acting major advisor must be a memberof the Graduate Faculty or be fully eligible for suchan appointment. The acting major advisor willassume all duties and responsibilities of the majoradvisor for the duration of the appointment. Themajor advisor will inform the Graduate School ofthe appointment and provide any information thatmay be required concerning the credentials of theacting major advisor.

Students’ advisory committees are responsibledirectly to the Dean of the Graduate School. Foradvisor y committees of doctoral students, it isrequired that the written consent be obtained fromthe Graduate School before any changes are madein the membership of an advisory committee whichhas been duly established.

FEES ANDEXPENSES

The schedule of fees contained in this section iscomprehensive and is expected to prevail

during the 2003-2004 academic year, but the Boardof Trustees and the Board of Governors for HigherEducation reser ve the right, at any time, toauthorize changes in fees and to establish new feesapplicable to all currently enrolled students.

All fees are collected by the Of fice of theUniversity Bursar in the Wilbur Cross Building. Feespertaining to off-campus programs in social workand business administration are payable at thoselocations. (See applicable brochures for fees,billings, and payment procedures.)

Fee bills are mailed by the Of fice of theUniversity Bursar soon after registration (July-August for the fall semester and December-Januaryfor the spring semester). These bills, covering thesemester’s charges payable in advance, must bepaid by the tenth day of the semester (see “GraduateSchool Calendar”). Failure to make payment on timewill result in cancellation of registration and anyresidence hall assignment. A graduate student mayapply for a limited deferment of the payment datefor a semester fee bill at the Deferment Office inthe Wilbur Cross Building. Partial payment of feesis not accepted by the Bursar. A receipt for paymentor evidence of an approved deferment must bepresented to complete registration.

Financial ResponsibilityFailure to receive a bill does not relieve a studentof responsibility for payment of fees by thespecified due date. A student who fails to maketimely payment of an outstanding balance may bebarred from all privileges normally accorded to astudent in good standing. These include but are notlimited to: advance registration (which if alreadycompleted will be subject to cancellation),registration, class attendance, advisement,dormitory room (for which any assignment will becancelled), dining hall, l ibrar y, infir mar y,certification-of-status, and academic transcriptprivileges. Additionally, any pending University ofConnecticut employment authorization may notreceive approval or may be subject to cancellation.If there is a question concerning a bill, it is thestudent’s responsibility to contact directly theOffice of the University Bursar for clarification andresolution.

If a graduate student does not meet his or herfinancial obligations to the University by the tenth dayof a given semester or by the expiration date of anapproved deferment, cancellation of the student’sregistration and student privileges will result.

Application Processing FeeA non-refundable fee of $55 for electronic submissionor $75 for paper submission must accompany anapplication to the Graduate School. It may not beapplied toward other charges. This fee mustaccompany every application submitted except fora doctoral degree program to follow immediatelyon a completed master’s degree program in the samefield at this University, or for re-applicationrequested by the Dean.

In-State and Out-of-State StatusEach student must file an affidavit of residence withthe application for admission to the GraduateSchool. A form for this purpose is provided as partof the application packet. On the basis of thisinformation, each entering student is classified aseither a Connecticut student or an out-of-statestudent. Failure to file the form will result inclassification as out-of-state.

Questions concerning the classification ofgraduate students as resident (in-state) or non-resident (out-of-state) are resolved by theGraduate School. In the event that a student believesthat he or she has been incorrectly classified, arequest for a review, along with supportingdocumentar y evidence, should be directed to theGraduate School.

Residents of other New England states enrolledin certain graduate degree programs may be eligiblefor special tuition rates through the New EnglandBoard of Higher Education Regional StudentProgram. (See “New England Regional StudentProgram.”)

TuitionAll graduate students – except in Summer Sessionsprograms (College of Continuing Studies) and thosebusiness administration programs conducted atcenters away from Storrs – are subject to a tuitioncharge in addition to the other fees chargedConnecticut, New England Regional StudentProgram, and out-of-state students.

Students who are classified as Connecticutresidents pay tuition of $3,239 per semester ifregistering for nine or more credits. Students eligiblefor the New England Regional Student Programpay tuition of $4,859 per semester at the nine ormore credit level. Students who are classified asout-of-State students pay tuition of $8,415 persemester for nine or more credits.

Tuition is pro-rated for students registering forfewer than nine credits per semester, according tothe accompanying schedule.

Tuition (but not the associated fees) iswaived for graduate assistants. If an assistantshipbegins or terminates during the course of asemester, tuition will be prorated on a weeklyschedule – charged for that portion of the semesterwhen the assistantship is not in force, and waivedwhen it is in force. This can result in either a partialtuition assessment (if the student is registered

throughout the semester for tuition-bearing coursework) or a partial refund (if tuition has been paid).

Additionally, tuition (but not the associated fees)is waived for certain groups of individuals. One ofthese groups includes any dependent child of aperson whom the U.S. armed forces has declaredeither to be missing in action or to have been aprisoner of war while serving in the armed forcesafter January 1, 1960, provided that person was aresident of Connecticut at the time of entering theservice of the armed forces of the United States orwas a resident of Connecticut while so ser ving.

A second group includes any veteran havingserved in time of war, as defined in subsection (a)of section 27-103, or who served in either a combator combat support role in the invasion of Grenada(from October 25, 1983 to December 15, 1983),the invasion of Panama (from December 20, 1989to January 31, 1990), the peace-keeping missionin Lebanon (from September 29, 1982 to March30, 1984), or Operation Earnest Will (escor t ofKuwaiti oil tankers) (from Februar y 1, 1987 toJuly 23, 1987), and is a resident of Connecticut atthe time of acceptance for admission or readmissionto the University. Eligible individuals shouldcontact the Of fice of Student Financial AidServices in the Wilbur Cross Building, Room 25,phone (860) 486-2819, for an application for thetuition waiver. Additional information on theVeterans Administration Educational Assistanceand Training Waiver is located in the FinancialAid section of this Catalog.

The third group of individuals includes anyperson sixty-two years of age or older who hasbeen admitted into a degree-granting program orwho wishes to take courses on a space availablebasis as a non-degree student. If any person whoreceives a tuition waiver in accordance with theprovisions of this subsection also receiveseducational reimbursement from an employer, thewaiver is reduced by the amount of the educationalreimbursement.

General University FeeThe General University Fee is assessed eachsemester on the basis of the student’s course loadstatus (par t-time, half-time, or full-time) asdetermined by Graduate School policies. Studentswho are part-time are charged $135, while studentswho are half-time are charged $270, and full-timestudents are charged $405 per semester. Studentspaying this fee at any level have access to theStudent Health Service.

Audit FeesStudents auditing courses pay the same tuition andfees as those students who have enrolled forcourse credit. Tuition is charged on the basis ofcourse credit hours, while the charge for the otherfees (e.g., the General University Fee), isdependent on the student’s total course load (part-time, half-time or full-time), as determined byGraduate School policies.

Board FeeGraduate students living in a graduate residencehall may purchase meals on a cash basis atJonathan’s (a campus restaurant located in theStudent Union) or at the guest rate in a Universitydining hall, or may choose to subscribe to the boardplan in a University dining hall. This plan providesthree meals a day, seven days per week, whileclasses are in session, at a cost of $1,609 persemester.

Failure to pay the board fee as billed does notrelieve the student of the financial obligation. If astudent gives notice of cancellation to the Departmentof Residential Life, the student will be heldresponsible for payment of the board fee asindicated under “Refunds and Cancellations ofCharges.”

Late Registration/Payment FeeAn accumulating penalty fee is charged studentsregistering for credit courses through the UniversityRegistrar at the Storrs campus, the regionalcampus at Avery Point, and at the Health Center inFarmington who fail to complete initial courseregistration and to pay all due fees on or before thetenth day of classes of any semester (additions toand deletions from a student’s initial registration andpayment of the resulting adjusted fee bill can occurfreely through the end of the tenth business day ofthe semester).

This fee is $6 for each weekday (excludingSaturdays, Sundays, and legal State holidays)occurring after the tenth day of the semester thatregistration and payment have not been completed.Students granted a limited deferment by theDeferment Office (in the Wilbur Cross Building) arecharged the late fee if they fail to meet any of theterms of the deferment. For these students, the feebegins to accumulate on the first business dayfollowing a deferment date. Students whosesemester bills are only for Continuing Registrationcourses (GRAD 398, 399, 498, or 499) are noteligible for a deferment.

This fee will accumulate to a maximum of $60,at which point the student’s registration may becancelled. To become reinstated, the student mustapply for reinstatement and pay a reinstatement feeo f $65. (See “Re ins ta tement Fee . ” ) Theregistration process has not been completedunless the student has either received a fee billreceipt from the Bursar or has been granted alimited deferment of the payment date of thesemester fee bill by the Deferment Of fice.

Reinstatement FeeGraduate School regulations require registration ineach semester by all graduate degree programstudents. (See “Continuing Registration.”)Students at the Storrs campus, at the Avery Pointregional campus, the M.B.A. programs in Hartfordand Stamford, or at the Health Center in Farmingtonwho fail to complete initial course registration by theend of the tenth day of classes of any semester maybe dropped from active status and will be required topay a penalty fee of $65.

ASSISTANTSHIPS,FELLOWSHIPS,& OTHER AID

The University of Connecticut has agreed toabide by the following resolution of the Council

of Graduate Schools:

Acceptance of an offer of financial support(such as a graduate scholarship, fellowship,traineeship, or assistantship) for the nextacademic year by a prospective or enrolledgraduate student completes an agreementthat both student and graduate school expectto honor. In that context, the conditionsaf fecting such of fers and their acceptancemust be defined carefully and understood byall parties.

Students are under no obligation torespond to offers of financial support priorto April 15; earlier deadlines for acceptanceof such of fers violate the intent of thisResolution. In those instances in which astudent accepts an offer before April 15, andsubsequently desires to withdraw thatacceptance, the student may submit in writinga resignation of the appointment at any timethrough April 15. However, an acceptancegiven or left in force after April 15 commitsthe student not to accept another of ferwithout first obtaining a written release fromthe institution to which a commitment hasbeen made. Similarly, an of fer by aninstitution after April 15 is conditional onpresentation by the student of the writtenrelease from any previously accepted offer.It is further agreed by the institutions andorganizations subscribing to the aboveResolution that a copy of this Resolutionshould accompany ever y scholarship,fellowship, traineeship, and assistantshipof fer.

Support for graduate students engaged in full-time degree study at the University comes from awide variety of sources. More than 1,500 graduatestudents hold graduate assistantships for teachingor research, and more than 1,000 fellowships andtraineeships are available to properly qualified stu-dents. Any employment within the University is sub-ject to terms of the funding source and to approvalby the Dean.

All students holding fellowships awarded by theUniversity are expected to maintain theirenrollment in the program to which the fellowshipapplies. Transfer from one program to another orwithdrawal from the University terminates thefellowship.

The general University fee and the graduatematriculation fee as well as the Connecticut residenttuition fee or the nonresident tuition fee must bepaid by holders of University Predoctoral

Fellowships, if applicable, but these fees are paidfor holders of cer tain Federal fellowships andtraineeships, according to the terms of the grant.

TYPES OF FINANCIAL AIDTwo general types of financial aid are available: (1)aid based on academic merit and (2) aid based ondemonstrated financial need. The student isadvised to apply for both types simultaneously inorder not to delay consideration for an award.

Awards based on academic merit include:Graduate Assistantships (for teaching or research),University Predoctoral Fellowships, DissertationFe l lowsh ips , and Summer Fe l lowsh ips .Assistantships, fellowships and other awards fromUniversity sources are used in combination withneed-based aid to calculate final financial aidamounts of fered either for a semester or anacademic year. Application for merit aid should bemade directly to the academic depar tment.Continuing University of Connecticut graduatestudents should apply early in the spring semester.New applicants for admission to the Graduate Schoolshould apply as early as possible and not later thanthe deadline imposed by the appropriate academicdepartment.

These requirements includemaintenance of an appropriate grade point averageand satisfactory completion of a percentage of thenumber of credit hours attempted in each awardyear. A complete text of this policy is availablefrom the Office of Student Financial Aid Services.

The following list of assistantships, fellowships,and other forms of aid includes only the majorsources of suppor t available to students at thisUniversity. Other sources may be available uponfurther inquiry.

Graduate AssistantshipsGraduate School degree-seeking students andstudents in the program leading to the Sixth YearDiploma in Professional Education, who meet thecriteria listed below, are eligible. Appointmentsordinarily are made for the nine-month period,August 23 through May 22, but may be of shorterduration for a variety of reasons. Recipients usuallyser ve the University as teaching assistants,readers, or laborator y and research assistants.They may take fewer than the usual number ofcourses per year because of this added workload.To be appointed, to retain an appointment, or to bereappointed, a student must have been accordedRegular (not Provisional) status, must have beenmaintaining a cumulative average of at least B (3.00)in any course work taken, must be eligible toregister (i.e., must not have more than three viablegrades of Incomplete on his or her academic record),must be enrolled in a graduate degree programscheduled to extend through the entire period ofthe appointment or reappointment, and must be afull-time student, counting course work and/or itsequivalent together with assistantship duties (see“Course Loads”), throughout the period.

The holder of a full assistantship devotes one-half of available time to studies and one-half(approximately 20 hours per week) to assistantshipduties, while the holder of a half assistantshipordinarily devotes three-quarters of available timeto studies and one-quarter (approximately 10 hoursper week) to assistantship duties. Assistantshipsare not available for less than 10 hours per week.

Ordinarily, a graduate student is not permittedto earn more in a given academic year than theapplicable maximum stipend rate indicated below.With the written recommendation of the student’sadvisory committee and the consent of the Dean of

ASSISTANTSHIPS, FELLOWSHIPS, & OTHER AID


the Graduate School, however, approval may begranted for a student’s earnings from Universitysources to exceed the maximum stipend rate by alimited and specified amount.

Stipend rates for graduate assistants aregraduated in terms of progress toward theadvanced degree and experience. Ordinarily, agraduate assistant may not exclude any part of thestipend from U.S. taxable federal gross income.The rates for nine months for the 2003-2004academic year are as follows:

I. $16,556 for graduate assistants with at leastthe baccalaureate.

II. $17,426 for experienced graduate assistantswith at least the master’s degree or itsequivalent in the field of graduate study.(Equivalency consists of twenty-four creditsof appropriate course work beyond the bac-calaureate, together with admission to adoctoral program.)

III. $19,369 for students with experience asgraduate assistants who have at least themaster’s degree or its equivalent and whohave passed the doctoral general examina-tion.

Tuition (but not the General University Fee, theGraduate Matriculation Fee, or other fees) is waivedfor Graduate Assistants. (See “Tuition,” for possibleproration.) If an assistantship begins or terminatesduring the course of a semester, tuition will beprorated on a weekly schedule – charged for thatportion of the semester when the assistantship isnot in force, waived when it is in force. This oftenresults in an adjustment of the tuition charges,including par tial assessment (if the student isregistered throughout the semester for course workfor which tuition is charged) or a partial refund (iftuition has been paid).

A graduate assistant is eligible for healthinsurance. Graduate assistants should be aware thatit is necessary to complete the proper forms toactivate the health insurance. The health insurancedoes not take effect automatically.

In exceptional cases a graduate assistant maybe appointed on a twelve-month basis, with thestipend being increased proportionately. There are,however, no additional benefits or waiver of tuitionin the summer months.

When students become eligible for the Level IIor Level III stipend rate, it is the responsibility oftheir department to request such an increasepromptly, by filing a new employment authorizationeffective the first day of the biweekly payroll periodfollowing the date on which the student completesmaster’s degree requirements (or satisfies master’sdegree equivalency) or the date on which the studentpasses the doctoral General Examination in its entirety.Students are responsible for ascertaining that anyrequired documentation — such as a report of amaster’s final or doctoral general examination, atranscript, or a report of a pertinent Incompletegrade made up – is promptly filed with the GraduateSchool and that their current stipend conforms withtheir eligibility.

Tuition Assistance Program forOutstanding Master’s Degree StudentsThis program provides tuition assistance forselected students, who are classified as out-of-statefor tuition purposes, in terminal master’s degreetracks. A limited number of tuition grants areawarded each year on a competitive basis to out-of-state master’s students. These grants permit theselected students, in effect, to pay tuition at thein-state rate. The specific selection criteria forthese grants include: admission to and full-timematriculation in a master’s degree program whichordinarily does not lead to the doctorate, absenceof graduate assistantship support (which carrieswith it tuition waiver), out-of-state residency status,evidence of academic excellence (based on gradepoint averages, GRE/GMAT scores, etc.), and U.S.citizen or permanent resident status.

UNIVERSITYPROGRAMS &

SERVICES

Requests for Of ficial University ofConnecticut TranscriptsStudents at Storrs and the regional campuses canrequest official transcripts of their academic recordsby writing to the University of Connecticut, Office ofthe Registrar, Unit 4077-T, Storrs, Connecticut06269-4077. Requests can also be transmitted byFAX to the Registrar at (860) 486-4199. All requestsshould include full name, social security number,UConn ID (PeopleSoft empl ID) if known, dates ofattendance, complete and accurate addresses oftranscript recipients (including ZIP codes), and therequester’s address and telephone number in theevent that there is a problem with the request.Requests must be signed even if they are faxed.

Request forms can be completed at theRegistrar’s Office in the Wilbur Cross Building onthe Storrs campus. These forms are also availableat the regional campus registrars’ offices for mailingor faxing to the University Registrar at Storrs.

Students can request that their transcripts besent to themselves. Note, however, that suchtranscripts are stamped “issued to student in asealed envelope” and the envelope bears a similarstamp and a facsimile signature. Students arecautioned that some recipients will not accepttranscripts that have not been sent directly to them.

Transcripts are sent out only by U.S. PostalSer vice first class mail, Priority Mail, or ExpressMail. For Priority or Express Mail, the request mustbe accompanied by a pre-paid and pre-addressedPriority or Express Mail envelope. Alternate carriers(e.g. UPS, Federal Express) are not an option.

There are other restrictions to this service. Officialtranscripts may be withheld by appropriate Universityofficials if some financial or other obligation to theUniversity remains unmet. Since official transcripts areissued on security bank paper they cannot be sent byFAX. Requests are processed in the order in which theyare received in one to five business days. The Universitydoes not honor telephone or e-mail requests fortranscripts.

There is no service fee for official transcripts.Students can obtain an unofficial transcript by

presenting a photo I.D. in person at the Registrar’s Officeat Storrs or at any of the regional campuses; however,students should call the regional campus registrar inadvance to make arrangements for transcript pickup.

HousingThe Graduate Residences consist of threebuildings in a coeducational complex which contains440 carpeted single rooms. The residences are openyear-round, including the recess periods. Thecomplex is conveniently located in the center of

campus, allowing for easy access to the GraduateCenter, the librar y, and academic facilities. Thephysical layout of the complex encourages a quiet,studious atmosphere.

Students desiring rooms in University housingfacilities should send in the Application for On-CampusHousing and furnish deposits promptly when required.(See “Fees and Expenses.”) Rooms in the GraduateResidences will be assigned on a priority basis withinthe l imits of avai lable space (some olderundergraduates also may reside in the GraduateResidences). Hilltop Apartments also will be availableto graduate students. See the website noted below foradditional information.

International students and others who are notfamiliar with the region should realize that Storrs islocated in a rural area about ten miles from the nearestcity. There is limited public transportation. Hence, thosecoming from a considerable distance usually are welladvised to seek housing on campus, at least for the firstyear of residence. Early application for a room isadvisable because there always are more applicationsfiled than rooms available in the Fall semester.

Students who are interested in of f-campushousing are advised to come to the area with a carto search for housing. It may take as long as a weekto find accommodations. Off-campus housing alsofills up quickly, so students should seek and securehousing a few months before the semester begins.See the website noted below for additional informationabout off-campus housing.

International students, who do not have on-campus housing arrangements, should haveconfirmed off-campus housing arrangements priorto arrival on campus. Off-campus housing, withinwalking distance, is especially limited due to therural location of the campus. Owning a car providesadditional access to housing in nearby towns.

Prior arrangements for off-campus housing areessential and should be secured through assistancefrom the academic department.

Graduate Student SenateThe Graduate Student Senate (GSS) was founded in1966 for the purpose of enriching the lives ofgraduate students and acting on behalf of their needsand interests. Composed of students who representall graduate fields of study, the GSS serves as theliaison between graduate students and the universityadministration and non-university organizations.

The GSS is recognized as one of the fivedeliberative bodies on campus (the others are theUniversity’s Board of Tr ustees, the UniversitySenate, the Graduate Faculty Council, and theUndergraduate Student Government). The GSS hasvoting representatives on some of these bodies aswell as other university standing committees.

The GSS engages in student advocacy, service,academic, and social activities. Areas of studentadvocacy in recent years have included:

• waiver of the general University fee forgraduate students not taking courses who arepursuing research, etc. at locations distantfrom the university;

• cost-of-living adjustment for graduate assistantstipends;

• earlier issuance of initial graduate assistant paychecks;

• increased graduate student residentialoptions; and

• adoption of new guidelines concer ningduration and level of support for graduateassistants.

Examples of recent service involvements include:• GSS short-term emergency loans for graduate

students;• annual publication of the Graduate Student

Handbook and Newsletter;• grants to departments and groups planning

programs which contribute to the academicand professional development of graduatestudents; and

• dissemination of information to graduatestudents concerning university initiatives andpolicy changes.

• the Graduate Resource Fair, an annual orientationand resources fair for new graduate students.

• representation on University-wide committeessuch as the Vice Chancellor’s LeadershipCommittee, University Senate, the GraduateFaculty Council, and the Chancellor’s LibraryAdvisory Committee.

Recent academic and social activities have included:• coordination and sponsorship of All That Jazz, a

multidisciplinary academic conference• cosponsorship of the Irish Studies Conference• lunches with key university administrators.• co-sponsorship of the Society for Ethnobiology

conference.• social events such as a weekly coffee night, pasta dinners, and parties.

Programs and activities such as those listed aboveare funded largely by the Graduate Student ActivitiesFee with additional program support provided by theGraduate School. The GSS encourages all graduatestudents to participate in campus as well as universityand student governance activities. Additionalinformation concerning GSS programs and meetingsis available from the GSS of fice, room 318 in theWhetten Graduate Center [phone (860) 486-3907,e-mail <[email protected]>, Web <http://www.grad.uconn.edu/~wwwgss>].

TransportationParking of Student Cars. Parking on campus is inhigh demand and it is suggested that students whocan avoid bringing a vehicle to campus should do so.The number of parking spaces available makes itimpossible to give all students permission to registermotor vehicles at the University. It is thereforenecessary to establish guidelines for the allotment ofmotor vehicle permits. Those guidelines are asfollows:

• Commuter students may purchase parking, regardless of semester standing.

• Resident students living on campus must have successfully completed 54 or more credits to be eligible for parking.


Qualified individuals are required to register their ve-hicles with Parking Services, pay a registration fee,and to display their valid permit. Photo identificationor a valid UConn I.D. must be presented when pur-chasing a permit.

In order to purchase a parking permit, the appli-cant and the vehicle to be registered must meet alllegal requirements for operation within the State ofConnecticut. The vehicle must be owned (or oper-ated) by the applicant or a member of his/her imme-diate family and must carry insurance or other form ofsecurity as established under Connecticut Motor Ve-hicle Laws (Title 14). Students may not register ve-hicles belonging to other students. Applicants mustprovide proof of vehicle registration when registeringand all outstanding University fee bill charges must bepaid prior to obtaining a parking permit.

Further information about parking on the Storrscampus can be obtained by calling Parking Ser-vices at (860) 486-4930, by visiting the website at<http://www.park.uconn.edu>, or by stoppingby the Parking Services Office at 3 North HillsideRoad on the Storrs Campus.

Applicants admitted on the basis of an expected baccalaureate or graduate degree

must have completed all requirements for thatdegree prior to the start of classes. University ofConnecticut seniors must have completed thebaccalaureate prior to the star t of classes.Other wise they must continue to register asundergraduates, even though admitted to theGraduate School and registering for graduatecourses.

Occasionally, a University of Connecticut seniorplanning to enter the Graduate School has less thana full course load remaining to complete forgraduation. Such a student may take advancedcourses along with the remaining undergraduatecourses and may count those advanced coursestoward the graduate degree. Inclusion of up to sixcredits of such course work is permissible underthe following conditions: (a) the work is completedwith grades of B or above; (b) the student is lateradmitted to Regular status in the Graduate School;(c) the work is approved as part of the graduateplan of study; and (d) the student presents awritten statement from the University Registrarcertifying that the work was not counted towardthe baccalaureate degree.

Advance registration and fee payments areaccepted on the assumption that students willremain eligible to continue, having met thescholastic standards of the Graduate School and byhaving complied with its regulations.

The following instr uctions apply to studentsregistering for most courses conducted on theStorrs campus. Information on registering forcourses offered through the College of ContinuingStudies, courses offered by the School of SocialWork, or courses offered by the Master of BusinessAdministration programs conducted at centers otherthan Storrs will be found in brochures publishedby those programs. All degree-seeking studentsmust register for courses using one of the availablemethods of registration, and pay all fees at the Officeof the University Bursar. All course charges(applicable tuition and fees) are due and payableby the close of business on the tenth day of thesemester. Late fees and the reinstatement fee areassessed after that time. Par t-time students whoare not degree-seeking students must registerthrough the Office of Credit Programs in the Collegeof Continuing Studies.

Both new and continuing students should makeappointments with their major advisors todetermine the courses in which they plan to enroll.Instructions for registration are sent to all studentsby mail. Entering students receive it with theiradmission information, while continuing studentsreceive it about a month prior to the registrationperiod. The material is mailed to the student’s lastknown address on file in the Graduate School. If astudent fails to receive this material, replacementcopies may be obtained either from the Graduate

School websi te (www.grad.uconn.edu/registration.html) or through the GraduateRecords Of fice, Unit 1006, Storrs, Connecticut06269-1006. Early registration will avoid confusionand increase the likelihood of obtaining the desiredcourse(s). Ordinarily, there are two advanceregistration periods for the fall semester, onebeginning in early April and the other beginningin mid-August. Similar periods for spring occur inlate October and early Januar y. The exact datesare contained in the registration mailing.Depending upon course selections, most studentsshould be able to register entirely over the WorldWide Web. Problems encountered duringregistration (including enrollment in restrictedcourses) may be brought to the Graduate Schoolin the Whetten Graduate Center. In all cases,registration is not complete until all tuition and feesare paid at the Office of the University Bursar or alimited deferment of payment is obtained from theDeferment Of fice. In any event, both finalregistration for courses and final payment of fees(or issuance of a deferment) must be completed onor before the tenth business day of the semester.Failure to complete timely registration and paymentof fees will subject the student in addition to theimposition of the Late Registration/Payment Feeand the Reinstatement Fee, as appropriate.

Continuous RegistrationMaster’s degree students, having star ted theirdegree programs, are required to register for andcomplete at least one appropriate course for creditwithin each twelve-month period, unless they havetaken all course work on an approved master’s planof study and are reading for a master’s finalexamination or preparing a thesis. Any master’sdegree student with course work remaining on theplan of study, who fails to complete any coursework for credit in a twelve-month period, is subjectto severance from his or her degree program. Tobe reinstated, the student must apply forreadmission, with no certainty of being accepted.

All degree students must begin their programswith course work for credit and must maintainregistration continuously each semester thereafter(except summer sessions) until all requirementsfor the degree have been completed. Registrationmay be maintained either by taking course workfor credit or by registering for one of the four non-credit Continuing Registration courses. Theseinclude Special Readings at the master’s (GRAD398) or doctoral (GRAD 498) level, Master’sThesis Preparation (GRAD 399), and DoctoralDissertation Preparation (GRAD 499). Other zero-credit courses may be substituted, if appropriate.Non-credit registration requires payment of theGraduate Matriculation Fee as well as theappropriate level of the General University Fee(see “General University Fee,” “GraduateMatriculation Fee,” and “Continuous Registration”under “Fees and Expenses”). Failure to maintaincontinuous registration during any semester resultsin the student’s inactivation. Reinstatement ispossible only after payment of all fees in arrearsand the reinstatement fee. (See “ReinstatementFee.”) The consequences associated with

matriculation via Continuing Registration rather thancredit courses are addressed in the “Course Loads”section.

Neither enrollment for Continuing Registrationnor payment for it is required for any semester,during the first ten class days of which the studentcompletes all requirements for a degree, if it is theonly degree the student is pursuing.

Any currently matriculated student takingcourse work at another institution, either fortransfer to a University of Connecticut graduatedegree program or for any other reason, mustregister for Continuing Registration as specifiedabove in any affected semester.

Enrollment in Continuing Registration is notrequired during the summer except as follows. Adegree student, if not otherwise registered for thesummer, must register for Continuing Registrationand pay the Graduate Matriculation Fee if thestudent is fulfilling in part the doctoral residencerequirement during the summer. To receive mostforms of summer financial aid for study or research,a student must register for either 5 credits ofcoursework in each of two summer sessions or oneof the full-time research courses, GRAD 396 (Full-time Master’s Research) or GRAD 496 (Full-timeDoctoral Research). Registration during thesummer is done through the College of ContinuingStudies.

Registration DeadlinesAll graduate students registering with theUniversity must have their initial registration in placeno later than the close of business of the tenth dayof classes each semester. Additions to and deletionsfrom a student’s class schedule may occur freelythroughout the first ten business days of the term.Students who do not complete an initial registrationby the close of business of the first day of classes aresubject to a late registration fee and a reinstatementfee.

Course LoadsThe number of credits and choice of courses forwhich a student registers is a matter to be discussedby the student and the major advisor. A student maybe classified as a full-time student in one of threeways: (1) enroll in 9 or more credits of coursework; (2) enroll in 6 or more credits of course workwhile holding a graduate assistantship (50% orgreater); or (3) enroll in one of the four specialpurpose 3-credit courses. These courses includeGRAD 396 (Full-time Master’s Research), GRAD496 (Full-time Doctoral Research), GRAD 397(Master’s Level Directed Studies), and GRAD 497(Doctoral Level Directed Studies). The former twocourses may be taken by students who havecompleted all requirements for the respectivedegree except the research component and whohave no other obligations at the University (i.e., noother course work and no graduate assistantship).The latter two courses denote a full-time of f-campus directed project, such as an internship, fieldwork, or other special activity. Students in GRAD397 or GRAD 497 may hold graduate assistantshipsif those assistantships are in direct support of their

REGISTRATION

REGISTRATION


studies. Such an assistantship may not be a standardteaching assistantship.

To be classified as half-time, the student’scourse credit load must be between 5 and 8 credits/semester. A credit load of fewer than 5 credits/semester is a part-time load. These criteria applyto all registered students at the University. Thecurrently defined Continuing Registration courses(GRAD 398, 399, 498, and 499) are zero-credit“placeholder” courses denoting part-time study anddo not count toward the credit load requirementfor half-time or full-time enrollment status. Degree-seeking students who do not need to be certifiedby the University as holding at least half-timeenrollment status may use these courses to maintainregistration on a part-time basis.

Students holding graduate assistantships mustregister for 6 or more credits/semester. Suchstudents are considered to be full-time students.

In addition to courses of fer ed by eachdepartment, a student’s credit load may includeGRAD 395 (Thesis Research), GRAD 495(Disser tation Research), and other equivalentresearch courses defined by the Graduate School,including seminar and other “colloquium” coursesthat are not part of the plan of study. These variablecredit courses carr y S/U grading, with thestudent’s major advisor as the instructor of record.

No full-time member of the professional staffor faculty may take for credit academic work at thisinstitution or elsewhere which conflicts with thestaff or faculty member’s assigned working hours.To take courses at all, staff and faculty membersmust have the approval of their department headand dean. (See “Admission,” for regulationsaffecting staff or faculty members holding tenureor rank above instructor.)

Auditing CoursesStudents who do not wish to register for credit maybe permitted to register as auditors under thefollowing conditions: (1) they pay the appropriatetuition and fees for courses; (2) they obtain theconsent of the instructor; (3) they audit onlycourses for which there are adequate classroomor laborator y facilities; and (4) in the case ofstudents in degree programs, they obtain consentfrom their major advisors. All permissions andregistrations for auditing courses must be filed inthe Of fice of the University Registrar. Coursesaudited are entered on the student’s permanentrecord, but such courses cannot be used towardfulfilling requirements for a graduate degree at theUniversity.

The privileges of an auditor in a course arelimited specifically to attending and listening. Theauditor assumes no obligation to do any of the workrequired of the course and is not expected to takeany of the instructor’s time. In addition, the auditordoes not submit any work, and is neither eligible totake any tests or examinations nor able to receivegrades on all or any part of the course.

Adding a CourseAfter the beginning of a semester or summersession, a student may not add a course if theinstructor feels that elapsed time might preclude

its successful completion. For degree-seekingstudents, courses added after the tenth day of asemester or after the fifth day of a summer-sessionterm must be submitted to the Graduate RecordsOffice. Changing a course from an audit to credit-based after this time must be done at the GraduateRecords Office. Certain exceptions to this policyexist. Students in the Sixth-Year Program mustobtain permission from the Associate Dean of theSchool of Education. Students in part-time M.B.A.programs conducted at locations other than Storrsmust obtain permission from the director of theprogram at their location. Students in Social Workmust follow the procedures in effect at the Schoolof Social Work.

Dropping a CourseDiscontinuance of attendance or notice to aninstr uctor or to an advisor does not constitutecancellation of course registration, and may resultin a failing grade on the student’s permanentrecord. Before terminating class attendance, thestudent should ensure that the course has beendropped of ficially. Until this has been done, thestudent is obligated to complete all work. No gradeis recorded for courses officially dropped, but amark of W is recorded to signify withdrawal froma course after the tenth day of the semester orafter the first week of a summer-session course.Cancellation of course registration does notautomatically drop a course from a plan of study,nor does approved deletion of a course from a planof study cause cancellation of course registration.The procedures are separate and unrelated.

During the first nine weeks of a semester orprior to the midpoint of a summer-sessioncourse, a course may be dropped by the followingprocedure. Students registered directly by theGraduate School at Storrs (or during the summersessions, through the College of Continuing Studies)must file properly completed and signed schedulerevision request card with the Graduate School. Non-degree students registered during either semesterthrough the College of Continuing Studies must notifythat office in writing. Students in part-time M.B.A.programs conducted at locations other than Storrsmust notify the director of the program in writing.Students in Social Work must follow procedures inforce at the School of Social Work.

After the first nine weeks of a semester or themidpoint of a summer-session course, studentsordinarily are not allowed to drop a course or tochange from participant to auditor. If, however, astudent must drop a course because of illness orother compelling reason beyond the student’scontrol, the student must request special permissionas early as possible and well before the last day ofclasses. Permission to drop a course or to changefrom participant to auditor is granted only for goodcause. All students – except those in the Sixth-Year Program, part-time M.B.A. programs conductedat locations other than Storrs, or the Social Workprogram – whether enrolled in daytime or eveningclasses, at Storrs or elsewhere, must obtainpermission from the Graduate School. Permissionis granted only on the major advisor’s written

recommendation, which must be convincing andsufficiently specific regarding reasons beyond thecontrol of the student. The recommendation shouldbe accompanied by properly completed and signedschedule revision request card for the course(s) tobe dropped. Students in the Sixth-Year Programmust obtain permission from the Associate Dean ofthe School of Education. Students in par t-timeM.B.A. programs conducted at locations other thanStorrs must obtain permission from the director ofthe program. Students in Social Work must followprocedures in force at the School of Social Work.Under no circumstances is a student at any locationor in any program permitted to drop a course afterthe course has officially ended.

Dropping all Courses; Withdrawalfrom the ProgramThe general policies and procedures regardingdropping a course (above) apply to dropping allcourses, whether the student wishes to remainactive in the graduate degree program or towithdraw permanently from it. Permission fromthe Graduate School is needed for the student eitherto remain active in the program or to leave in goodstanding. If a student wishes to remain active andregistered after dropping all courses, an appropriatezero-credit Continuing Registration course must beadded to his or her enrollment record. Thedetermination of active status is subject to theprovis ions contained in the “Cont inuousRegistration” section.

If a refund is due to a student (See “Refundsand Cancellations of Charges”), the schedule-revision-request card must be signed by theappropriate Graduate School officer, regardless ofthe week of the semester. This signature is requiredso that the refund process may be initiated. Norefund is possible unless all course work for creditis dropped.

STANDARDS &DEGREE

REQUIREMENTS

These represent general academic standardsand requirements of the Graduate School as

they apply to graduate students in degreeprograms. Some programs have special regulationsmore detailed or stringent. Students shouldacquaint themselves with their own program’srequirements as set for th in this Catalog andsubsequent ones, as appropriate. Undergraduateand non-degree students taking a graduate courseshould consult the appropriate bulletin forregulations which apply to them.

Course GradesInstructors are required to file with the UniversityRegistrar grades for all courses that a student takesfor credit. While instructors are free to set thestandard of perfor mance they expect in theircourses, a uniform scale is published to encouragegeneral agreement on the meaning of grades.

The letter A signifies work of distinction. Theletter B represents work of good quality, such as isexpected of any successful graduate student. Theletter C represents work below the standardexpected of graduate students in their area ofstudy. It is recognized that work of C quality in asupporting area may be of benefit to students andthat they should not be discouraged by the gradingsystem from including some supporting work intheir programs. Such work shall be identified onthe plan of study. Plus and minus values may beassigned to all but failing grades, are entered onthe permanent record, and are computed into thestudent’s grade point average.

A grade of D+, D, or D- signifies work ofunsatisfactor y quality. If a graduate studentreceives any form of a D grade, the course may notremain on the plan of study and the student’seligibility to continue in the degree program isreviewed by the student’s advisor y committee.

The grade of F or U signifies failure in thecourse and necessitates a recommendation by theadvisor y committee to the Graduate School as towhether or not the student shall be permitted tocontinue graduate study.

Final grades of S (Sat is factor y) or U(Unsatisfactor y) are associated only with certaincourses designated as such by the ExecutiveCommittee of the Graduate Faculty Council.Certain foreign language courses designed undermethod (2) for fulfillment of a doctoral languagerequirement also may carr y the S/U gradingoption, if chosen by the student. (See “ForeignLanguage; Related or Supporting Area of Study.”)All but the foreign language courses are identifiedin this bulletin by the symbol † preceding thecourse number. This type of grading is designed

for courses or sections of courses in which studentperformance cannot readily be evaluated due tothe nature of the course as conducted at the time.An exception might occur for a student needing aletter grade for transfer to another institution. AnS is not computed into the student’s grade pointaverage, while a U is counted as an F (except thatno computation is made for 100’s level courses).

Graduate students are not permitted to takeany regular course, undergraduate or graduate, ona Pass/Fail basis.

A mark of I (Incomplete) is assigned if a studenthas been doing work of acceptable quality but, forsome reason satisfactor y to the instructor, has notcompleted all of the work required to earn creditfor a course by the end of the semester or session.

The letter W signifies withdrawal from a courseafter either the tenth day of a semester course orthe first week of a summer-session course. Exceptin extraordinary cases where academic factors orextreme or unusual circumstances warrant it, thismark is not deleted from the permanent academicrecord.

If a student whose work in a course throughoutthe semester has been of satisfactor y quality failsto take a required final examination in the coursebecause of illness or other serious cause, theinstructor is permitted to give a mark of X (Absent)and may, with the permission of the GraduateSchool, reschedule the examination. If the student’swork up to the time of the examination was notclearly of passing quality, the instructor is to entera mark of F or U if a required final examination ismissed.

The letters L , N, and Y are administrativesymbols signifying that a letter grade had not beenrepor ted by the instr uctor when grades wereprocessed. The letter L signifies lateness inreporting grades for an entire section of a course.The letter N signifies that no grade was reportedfor an individual student duly registered for acourse. The letter Y signifies that no grades weredue to be reported for an entire section of a course(because of the scheduling of the course) whengrades were processed.

The letters I and X are never removed fromthe permanent record and transcripts.

The letter T indicates that course credit has beenaccepted in transfer from another institution.

The letter R is an administrative symbolsignifying that a student is registered. Any zero-credit course (e.g., GRAD 398, 399, 498, or 499)for which a student registers appears on thepermanent academic record with the letter R asthe grade.

Scholastic StandardsStudents are expected to maintain in their

course program at least a B (3.00) average, forwhich a grade point average will be computed on ascale where:

A + = 4.3 B – = 2.7 D+ = 1.3A = 4.0 C + = 2.3 D = 1.0A – = 3.7 C = 2.0 D – = 0.7B+ = 3.3 C – = 1.7 F = 0B = 3.0

Maintenance of good academic standing in theGraduate School requires at all times a cumulative gradepoint average of 3.00 or higher in all completed 200’s,300’s, and 400’s level courses. An official transcriptof an individual’s graduate academic career, however,includes grade point average calculations based on allcourse work completed during the student’s graduatecareer (including any 100’s level courses). Creditscompleted elsewhere and accepted in transfer bythe Graduate School do not affect the student’s Uni-versity of Connecticut grade point average in anyway.

Whenever a student’s cumulative average fallsbelow 3.00, the program is reviewed by thestudent’s advisor y committee to determinewhether or not the student shall be permitted tocontinue graduate study.

If all work required to change a mark of I or Xis not submitted to the University Registrar withintwelve months following the end of the semesteror session for which the mark was recorded, orwithin a shor ter period of time specificallydesignated by the instructor, no credit is allowedfor the course, and the indicated I or X becomes apart of the permanent record. The instructor hasthe option of changing such a mark to a grade of For U within thirteen months following the end ofthe original semester or session. For grades of I, itis the student’s responsibility to reach and tomaintain an understanding with the instructorconcerning the timely completion of the work. Forgrades of X, it is the student’s responsibility to seekthe required permission to take the f inalexamination from the Graduate School as soon aspossible after it has been missed.

Upon the recommendation of the instructor tothe Graduate School, a limited extension of anIncomplete may be granted. The Graduate Schoolis not obligated to approve an extension if theinstructor of the course no longer is a facultymember at the University of Connecticut.

If more than three courses have been leftincomplete, the student may be required tocomplete those still viable before being allowed toregister for additional course work. Too manypermanent Incompletes on the record may begrounds for the student’s termination or dismissal.An employment authorization for a graduateassistantship appointment may not be approved fora student who has four or more viable incompletecourses on his or her academic record.

For further information the reader is referredto the document, “Key to the Transcript,” availablefrom the Office of the University Registrar.

Termination of StatusTo remain in good standing, a student at all timesmust have a major advisor as well as a viable terminaldate (the date by which all degree requirementsmust be completed). A viable terminal date may bethe result of an extension of a student’s expiredoriginal terminal date. Once the plan of study hasbeen approved by the Executive Committee of theGraduate Faculty Council, a student at all times musthave a duly constituted advisory committee with atleast two associate advisors in addition to the majoradvisor.

STANDARDS & DEGREE REQUIREMENTS


In the event that a student’s major advisordetermines that resignation from the advisor ycommittee is necessary, the student is providedwith a reasonable opportunity to arrange for a newmajor advisor. If a new major advisor is notidentified within six weeks of the resignation of theformer major advisor, the student’s graduatedegree program status is terminated.

The Graduate School alerts both the majoradvisor and the student when a terminal date orterminal date extension has expired. In the eventthat the major advisor determines that he or shecannot support a recommendation to extend theterminal date further, the Graduate School mustbe notified in writing as soon as possible afterthe date of the notice of expiration. Extensions ofthe terminal date are granted by the GraduateSchool only on the basis of substantial evidencethat the student is making consistent andsatisfactory progress toward the completion ofdegree requirements. Written recommendation toextend the terminal date must be submitted in atimely manner by the major advisor to theGraduate School. In the absence of a t imelyrecommendation to extend an expired terminaldate, or in the event that a recommended extensionhas been denied by the Graduate School, thestudent’s graduate degree program status isterminated.

Whenever a student’s graduate degree programstatus is terminated, a letter is sent to the studentby the Associate Dean. If the student wishes torequest a hearing, the provisions outlined under“Hearing and Appeal Procedures” apply.

Academic DismissalA graduate student’s progress in a degree programis monitored regularly by the student’s advisorycommittee. If at any time, a student’s academicper formance, progress in a graduate degreeprogram, or professional development and/orsuitability is judged by his or her advisor ycommittee to be unsatisfactory, and if the advisorycommittee determines that dismissal on any ofthese grounds is war ranted, the advisor ycommi t tee mus t submi t i t s wr i t t enrecommendation that the student be dismissed onsuch grounds to the Dean of the Graduate School .A student may be subject to academic dismissal ifhe or she: (1) fails to maintain the minimumcumulative grade point average required by theGraduate School (3.00); (2) receives a grade of D+,D, D-, F, or U in any course; (3) fails to satisfy aforeign language requirement for a degree; (4) failsthe D.M.A. or Ph.D. general examination; (5) failsto produce an acceptable D.M.A. document or Ph.D.d i sser ta t ion pr oposa l ; (6 ) per f o r msunsatisfactorily in any aspect of the research orwriting for a master’s thesis or doctoral dissertation;(7) fails the final examination for the master’s ordoctoral degree; or (8) fails to satisfy any otheracademic requirement of the student’s graduatedegree program. The specific judgment on whichthe advisory committee’s recommendation is basedmust be stated. The recommendation must bear thesignature of each member of the advisor y

committee. For a student whose advisory committeehas not yet been established, the major advisoralone submits the recommendation. If the studentis to be dismissed on any of the above grounds, aletter of dismissal is issued by the Associate Dean.If the student wishes to request a hearing, theprovisions outlined below under “Hearing andAppeal Procedures” apply.

Hearing and Appeal ProceduresIf a student’s graduate degree program status is tobe terminated or if a student is to be dismissed onacademic grounds, the Associate Dean issues aletter to the student stating this intent. If a studentwishes to request a hearing before the AssociateDean, the student must submit a written requestwithin 30 days of receipt of the letter. Followingthe hearing, the student may appeal the decisionof the Associate Dean to the Dean. This appeal doesnot constitute a new hearing. Rather, it is a reviewof the record of the original hearing and isentertained only on one or both of two grounds:(1) the claim of an error in the hearing procedure,and (2) the claim of new evidence or informationthat was not available at the time of the hearing. Ifthe student’s termination or dismissal is upheld bythe Dean, the student may appeal fur ther to theProvost on only the same grounds as the appeal tothe Dean. In any event, the decision of the Provostis final.

GRADUATE CER TIFICATEPROGRAMS

Graduate cer tificate programs may be of feredwithin the str ucture of the Graduate School.Students may be awarded these certificates uponcompletion of a well-defined program of coursework. The graduate certificate is not defined as adegree by the Graduate School; rather, it is simplya focused collection of courses that, whencompleted, af fords the student some record ofcoherent academic accomplishment in a givendiscipline or set of related disciplines. Moreover,the graduate cer tificate is not viewed as aguaranteed means of entry into a graduate degreeprogram. While the courses comprising a graduatecertificate may be used as evidence in support of astudent’s application for admission to a graduatedegree program, the cer tificate itself is notconsidered to be a prerequisite. The didacticmaterial contained within a graduate certificateprogram may represent a more practice-orientedsubset of an existing graduate discipline. Detailedinformation concerning admissions criteria andprocedures can be obtained from graduatecertificate program coordinators.

An appropriate number of academic credits mustcomprise the certificate program. The number ofgraduate (300- or 400-level) credits may not befewer than nine nor more than one-half of the creditsnecessar y for a related Master’s degree from theGraduate School. Ordinarily, the credit requirementranges from 12 to 15 graduate semester credits.When there exists no related Master’s program,

the number of credits required for a graduatecertificate is limited to 12.

A certificate student may enroll on either a part-time or a full-time basis, as determined by thecertificate program coordinator and the numberof credits taken by the student. Students enrolledon a full-time basis have access to many of the samecampus ser vices as other full-time graduatestudents. They may live in on-campus graduatestudent housing and they may be granted studentlibrary access and campus parking privileges, amongothers. They also may be considered for merit-basedfinancial aid by the department or program, as wellas for need-based financial aid by the StudentFinancial Aid Of fice, but at a reduced prioritycompared to degree-seeking students.

THE MASTER’S DEGREEMaster’s degree programs are offered in nearly 70fields of study in the Graduate School. The Masterof Ar ts degree usually is awarded to properlyqualified candidates in the humanities, the socialsciences, education, and all non-scientific fieldsexcept art, business administration, public affairs,and social work. The Master of Science degree isawarded to candidates in the natural, physical,mathematical, pharmaceutical, nutritional, andagricultural sciences, as well as Accounting,Nursing; and Engineering. Other Master’s degreesawarded are the Master of Business Administration,the Master of Dental Science, the Master ofEngineering, the Master of Fine Arts, the Master ofMusic, the Master of Public Administration, theMaster of Public Health, and the Master of SocialWork. A master’s degree program represents theequivalent of at least one year of full-time studybeyond the baccalaureate (or its equivalent).

Since the Master ’s degree is the onlyintermediate degree offered by this University, itshould be emphasized that the education it providesmay prepare students for a variety of goals. Theadvisory committee should take into considerationthe student’s objectives and insist on the student’sgiving sufficient time to the program so that theymay be fulf i l led. Those students who arecommitted to doctoral study generally need lesstime to complete a Master’s degree than those forwhom the master’s program provides the onlyoppor tunity to prepare for various professions.Recognizing the dif ference between a researchdegree and a terminal Master’s degree, thecommittee should determine the student’s goalsand potential as early as possible, so as to help thestudent develop an appropriate predoctoral orterminal plan of study.

In most fields of study, work for the Master’sdegree is offered mostly, if not exclusively, on themain campus at Storrs. There are some exceptions.The Master of Business Administration is offeredon a par t-time basis at the West Hartford andStamford campuses and on a full-time basis at theStorrs campus. The Master of Dental Scienceprogram and the Master of Public Health program

3 1

are of fered primarily at the Health Center inFarmington. The Master of Social Work program isof fered at the West Har tford campus. Cer taincourses in education, engineering, geologicalsciences, and oceanography are of fered atlocations other than Storrs. With the exception ofthe programs listed above, at least nine credits atthe graduate level must be earned on the Storrscampus.

Time LimitsThe student is expected to register for course workwith reasonable regularity and to complete allrequirements for the degree within a moderate spanof time to assure continuity and adequate familiaritywith developments in the field of study. (See“Continuous Registration.”) Ordinarily, the Master’sdegree should be completed within two years orso. In any event, all work for the Master’s degreemust be completed within a maximum period of sixyears from the beginning of the earliest course,wherever taken, listed on the approved plan ofstudy. Failure to complete the work within thisperiod or failure to maintain continuous registration(see “Continuous Registration”) will require re-evaluation of the student’s entire program and mayresult in termination.

An extension of a student’s terminal date isconsidered only when there is substantial evidencethat the student has attempted to make regular andconsistent progress toward completion of degreerequirements. A written recommendation toextend the terminal date must bear the signatureof the student’s major advisor , and it must besubmitted in a timely manner to the GraduateSchool. Approval is granted by the Dean. Eachsubsequent request to extend a student’s terminaldate requires greater justification and moreextraordinary circumstances. Third requests forextension are rarely, if ever, granted.

Plan A and Plan B Master’s DegreesMaster’s degrees may be earned under either oftwo plans, as deter mined by the advisor ycommittee. The first plan (Plan A) emphasizesresearch, while the second (Plan B) requirescomprehensive understanding of a more generalcharacter. Plan A requires not fewer than fifteencredits of advanced course work and for studentsentering Fall 1998 or later, nine credits of Master’sThesis Research (GRAD 395 or GRAD 396), as wellas the writing of a thesis. Plan B requires not fewerthan twenty-four credits of advanced course work, afinal examination, but no thesis. In either case,advisor y committees may require more than theminimum number of credits.

Up to six credits of advanced course work takenon a non-degree basis at the University ofConnecticut may be included on a Master’s degreeplan of study provided the following conditions aremet: (1) the grades earned in such course workare B (not B-) or higher; (2) such course work iswithin the six-year limit for completion of Master’sdegree requirements; and (3) such credits have notbeen applied toward any other degree, here orelsewhere (already completed or to be completed in

the future). In any event, inclusion of non-degreecourse work on the plan of study requires theconsent of the advisory committee and is subject tothe approval of the Executive Committee.

Up to six credits of advanced course workcompleted or to be completed at other institutionsmay be approved for transfer to the student’sMaster’s degree program at the University ofConnecticut. Such credits are to be listed “belowthe line” on the plan of study. The followingconditions must be met before final approval of anytransfer of credit is granted: (1) the advisor ycommittee must indicate its approval of thetransfer of credit by signing the plan of study; (2)the courses must be at a level appropriate for agraduate degree and of fered by an accreditedinstitution; and (3) the grades earned in anycourses to be transferred must be B (not B-) orhigher. Official transcripts of any course work tobe transfer red must be on file in the GraduateSchool. When the student’s plan of study has gainedthe approval of the Executive Committee andofficial transcripts indicating satisfactory completionof the course work to be transferred are received,the transfer of credit is noted on the student’spermanent academic record. Any creditstransferred to a graduate degree program at theUniversity of Connecticut must not have been usedtoward a degree elsewhere (already completed or tobe completed in the future).

Students admitted to study for the degree ofDoctor of Philosophy may earn a Master’s degree,if one is of fered specifically in their field, undereither Plan A or Plan B. They also may apply forthis degree if they have on file a fully approveddoctoral plan of study including at least twenty-fourcompleted credits of suitable course work taken atthis University and have passed a master’s finalexamination. They also may apply for this degreeif they have completed at least 24 credits on anapproved Ph.D. plan of study, have passed thedoctoral general examination, and have beenrecommended by their major advisor or by theDean of the Graduate School for award of theMaster’s degree.

More than one Master’s degree may not beawarded at this institution to an individual studentunless the degree titles are dif ferent or unless thedegrees are earned in dif ferent fields of study. Thesame course may not be of fered for credit towardmore than one degree, except in the case ofofficially approved dual degree programs.

Candidacy and Plan of StudyTo become a candidate for a Master’s degree, thestudent must have on file with the Graduate Schoola plan of study prepared with the aid and approvalof an advisor y committee and approved by theExecutive Committee of the Graduate FacultyCouncil. To be eligible for degree conferral, aMaster’s degree student must have been grantedRegular status. The student may not take the finalexamination for the degree before the plan of studyhas been fully approved. The plan of study must beprepared in triplicate, signed by the student andthe members of the advisor y committee, and

submitted to the Graduate School for approval bythe Executive Committee when the student hascompleted not more than twelve credits of coursework to be applied to the degree. Failure to presentthe plan on time may prolong the period of studyfor the degree. Before drawing up and approvingthe plan, the major advisor should have on file andshould consult for guidance a set of transcripts ofall undergraduate and graduate work the studenthas taken. The advisory committee may require thatthe student take an exploratory examination toguide the committee in formulating the plan ofstudy.

Courses elected shall be consistent with thestudent’s objectives and related to the field in whichthe degree will be taken. Plans of study shall consistlargely of courses at the 300’s level or above. Alimited number of credits at the 200’s level (notmore than six), if not open to sophomores, may beaccepted. In addition to the minimum number ofcourse credits required for the degree, theadvisor y committee may require the student totake other courses with or without graduate credit,depending on the student’s objectives and previouspreparation. Course credit by examination is notallowed as a means of accumulating credits to meetthe requirements for advanced degrees at thisinstitution.

After approval of the plan by the ExecutiveCommittee, any request for change must besubmitted to the Graduate School on the officialform bearing the signatures of the advisor ycommittee and the student for approval by theExecutive Committee. Successful completion of allwork indicated on the approved plan of study is afundamental prerequisite to the conferral of thedegree.

Once the plan of study is approved, the studentand the advisory committee should reevaluate itregularly and modify it, following the establishedprocedure, if appropriate.

The Master’s ThesisThe advisory committee must approve the topic andscope of the thesis required under Plan A and uponits completion, ascer tain that it represents anindependent investigation of a significant topic andis an important contribution to ongoing research inthe candidate’s field. The thesis must be acceptablein literar y style and organization. The thesis isregarded as an impor tant part of the student’sprogram. Specifications for preparation of the thesiscan be obtained at the Graduate School or from theGraduate School’s website. It is the student’sresponsibility to be certain that the thesis conformsexactly to the specifications prescribed by theGraduate School.

No restrictions that l imit or delay theaccessibility, use, or distribution of the results ofany student’s research are acceptable, if suchdelays inter fere with the timely completion of astudent’s academic program.

The thesis must be dated as of the calendar yearin which all requirements for the degree arecompleted. Two high quality copies of the thesis



must be deposited in the Graduate School by theconferral period deadlines of August 31, December31, or Commencement day in May. Each copy mustcontain an approval page bearing original signaturesof all members of the advisory committee. At least25% cotton-content bond paper of at least 20-poundweight must be used for both copies. After binding,both copies become the proper ty of the HomerBabbidge Library, and the identical second copy ismade available for faculty and student use. If thethesis is lengthy, the Babbidge Library may requirethat it be bound as more than one volume. If aprogram requires one or more extra copies, it isthe student’s responsibility to supply them directlyto the program.

Final ExaminationNear the close of the candidate’s period of study –not later than one year after the completion ofcourse work or the thesis – the student must passa final examination under the jurisdiction of theadvisory committee. The student may not take thefinal examination before the plan of study has beenapproved by the Executive Committee or beforeRegular status has been granted. The advisor ycommittee has discretion to determine whetherthe examination shall be written, oral, or both.Invitation to participate in an oral examination isissued by the advisory committee, although any andall members of the faculty may attend. Theexamination must be completed by the publisheddeadlines for the appropriate conferral period forthe degree to have that conferral date

The decision as to whether a student has passedor failed the examination rests solely with theadvisory committee, which shall take into accountthe opinions of other par ticipating facultymembers. The vote of the advisor y committeemust be unanimous. Immediately following theexamination, the major advisor shall communicatethe results to the student and send a report on theofficial form to the Graduate School. If the studenthas failed the examination or if the advisor ycommittee considers the result of the examinationinconclusive, the committee has the option ofrequiring the student to retake it. In such cases,the recommendation must reach the GraduateSchool promptly, and any re-examination must takeplace within twelve months from the date of theoriginal examination.

Under Plan A the examination may center onthe candidate’s research and its relation to the fieldof study as a whole, but may have a wider scope.Under P lan B the examina t ion sha l l becomprehensive and designed to assess thecandidate’s master y of the field and ability tointegrate the knowledge acquired. The Master’sfinal examination often is used as a qualifyingexamination for doctoral study.

THE DOCTOR OF MUSICALARTS DEGREE

The D.M.A. degree is the highest practice-orienteddegree offered by the Graduate School in the fieldof Music. The program leading to its attainment isintended to give persons of outstanding ability theoppor tunity to become creative contributors inmusical performance and scholarship. Award of thedegree testifies to broad mastery of the art of music,an ability to practice that ar t on an exceptionallyhigh level, and acquisition of appropriate researchskills.

While certain minimum requirements are setby the Graduate School and the Music Department,it is impor tant for students to realize that worktoward this degree is not merely a matter ofaccumulating course credits or satisfying otherrequirements. The degree will be conferred onlyafter the advisor y committee and the GraduateMusic Faculty are convinced that the student is ableto demonstrate consummate artistr y in a publicfor um, and has developed independence ofjudgment and mature scholarship.

Time LimitsThe equivalent of at least two years of full-timestudy beyond the Master’s degree is required. Allwork must be completed within seven years of thebeginning of doctoral study. The beginning ofdoctoral study is defined as the beginning date ofthe earliest course, wherever taken, listed on theapproved doctoral plan of study. The generalexamination shall be passed within four years ofthe beginning of doctoral study. Failure to completethe work within the periods specified or failure tomaintain continuous registration (See “ContinuousRegistration”) will require re-evaluation of theentire program and may result in a notice oftermination. A five-year time limit applies to theacceptance of foreign-language courses. (See“Foreign Language.”)

An extension of a student’s terminal date isconsidered only when there is substantial evidencethat the student has attempted to make regular andconsistent progress toward completion of degreerequirements. A written recommendation toextend the terminal date must bear the signatureof the student’s major advisor , and it must besubmitted in a timely manner to the GraduateSchool. Approval is granted by the Dean. Eachsubsequent request to extend a student’s terminaldate requires greater justification and moreextraordinary circumstances. Third requests forextension are rarely, if ever, granted.

Residence RequirementA graduate student can fulfill the special demandsof a doctoral program only by devoting a continuousperiod of time to concentrated study, practice, andresearch with a minimum of outside distraction oremployment. The D.M.A. student must completeone year (two semesters) of full-time study in

residence. This residence period must be completedthrough registration for and completion of appropriatecourse loads or research at the Storrs campus.Students ordinarily must register for full-timestudent status during the residence period (see“Course Loads”).

The principal criterion for full-time study asrequired for fulfillment of the doctoral residencerequirement is whether the student is in factdevoting essentially full-time ef fort to studies,without undue distraction caused by outsideemployment. It is left to the advisory committee todetermine whether a student’s outside employmentis a distraction that prevents the student fromdevoting essentially full-time effort to the plannedprogram. The advisory committee will record thisdetermination on the plan of study, along with adescription of the nature, extent, and period(s) ofoutside employment during the residence period.

Plan of StudyThe plan of study must be prepared; signed by thestudent, the members of the advisory committee,and the Director of Graduate Studies in Music; andthen submitted to the Graduate School for approvalby the Executive Committee of the Graduate FacultyCouncil. The student may not take the generalexamination before the plan of study has been fullyapproved. Failure to present the plan on time mayprolong the period of study for the degree. Beforeformulating and signing the plan, the major advisorshould have transcripts of all of the student’sundergraduate and graduate work on file and shouldconsult them for guidance. The advisory committeemay require that the student take an exploratoryexamination to guide the committee in formulatingthe plan of study.

A limited number of credits at the 200’s level(not more than six), if not open to sophomores,may be accepted. The degree ordinarily requiresat least 43 credits, depending on the area ofconcentration. The plan will designate any foreignlanguage(s) in which the student is to be tested.Course credit by examination is not allowed as ameans of accumulating credits to meet therequirements for advanced degrees at thisinstitution. For students entering in Fall 1998 orlater, at least fifteen credits of GRAD 495 mustappear on the plan of study. This effort representsthe research for the D.M.A. Dissertation, which isan essential component of the student’s program.

Advanced course work taken on a non-degreebasis at the University of Connecticut may beincluded on a D.M.A. plan of study provided thefollowing conditions are met: (1) the gradesearned in such course work are B (not B-) orhigher, (2) such course work is within the sevenyear limit for completion of D.M.A. degreerequirements, and (3) such credits have not beenapplied toward any other degree here or elsewhere(already completed or to be completed in the future).In any event, inclusion of non-degree course workon the plan of study requires the consent of theadvisory committee and is subject to the approvalof the Executive Committee.

3 3

After approval of the plan by the ExecutiveCommittee, any request for change must besubmitted in advance to the Graduate School onan of ficial form bearing the signatures of themembers of the advisor y committee and thestudent. Such changes are subject to approval bythe Executive Committee. The successfulcompletion of all work indicated on the approvedplan of study is a fundamental prerequisite toconferral of the degree.

Once the plan of study is approved, the studentand the advisor y committee should reevaluate itregularly and modify it, following the establishedprocedure, if appropriate.

Foreign LanguageStudents in all areas of concentration except voiceshall be required to have a competent readingknowledge of at least one foreign languageappropriate to the general area of study. Studentsin voice must have a competent reading knowledgeof at least two foreign languages appropriate to thegeneral area of study.

Students should plan to meet the languagerequirement early in their graduate career and wellbefore they begin preparation for the generalexamination. Methods for establishing evidence ofreading competence are the same as those for thePh.D. (See explanation of the Foreign Languagerequirement under “The Doctor of PhilosophyDegree.”)

Transfer CreditTransfer of credit for course work completed atother institutions is approved only after the studenthas demonstrated the ability to do acceptablegraduate work at the University of Connecticut.Such ability must be demonstrated by successfulcompletion of graduate level University ofConnecticut course work. The maximum numberof credits accepted from accredited institutions issix, provided it is of at least B (not B-) quality andcontributes to the objectives of the proposeddoctoral program. Such graduate work may beapproved for transfer provided that the generalexamination is to be passed and all degreerequirements are to be completed within theprescribed period – seven years – from thebeginning date of the earliest course, wherevertaken, listed on the approved doctoral plan of study.(See “Time Limits.”) Transfer credit is not grantedfor individual courses used for a degreeelsewhere(already completed or to be completed inthe future). Instead, consideration is given to thatdegree program as an entity when the doctoral planof study is being prepared.

Evaluation of PerformanceThe advisor y committee shall evaluate continuallythe student’s per formance. Any graduate studentwhose scholastic performance does not meet theminimum requirements of the Graduate Schoolmay be subject to dismissal. The first recital for allD.M.A. students, except for those in conducting, isconsidered to be a qualifying recital, and must bepresented during the first year of D.M.A. study. Thisrecital is evaluated by the student’s advisor y

committee. Any student who does not demonstratean appropriate level of performance in this recitalis subject to dismissal.

General ExaminationThe general examination shall be taken near theend of the course program but not later than eightmonths prior to the conferral of the degree. Beforearrangements for the examination are made,theforeign language requirement(s) should have beenmet and the plan of study must have been approvedby the Executive Committee of the Graduate FacultyCouncil. The examination is comprehensive innature, and incorporates elements of music historyand literature, music theory, performance practice,and practical application of these constituentcomponents.

The examination is under the jurisdiction of thestudent’s advisor y committee and contains bothwritten and oral components. Not fewer than fivefaculty members, including all members of theadvisor y committee, constitute the examiningcommittee and participate in the examination. Thefinal decision as to whether or not the student haspassed the examination is determined solely bymajority vote of the examining committee.

After the examination, the major advisorcommunicates the results to the candidate andsends the official report on the examination to theGraduate School.

D.M.A. Dissertation ProposalBefore preparation of the D.M.A. Dissertation iswell under way, the student must file a proposaldescribing the intended research with theGraduate Studies Committee of the MusicDepartment. Failure to file the proposal early mayresult in wasted effort on a document if changesare required in the project. The proposal must beapproved by the Graduate Studies Committee inMusic at least four months before the filing of theD.M.A. Dissertation and it must be approved by theExecutive Committee of the Graduate FacultyCouncil at least three months before the filing ofthe D.M.A. Dissertation.

Candidacy, Recitals, and D.M.A.Dissertation PreparationUpon passing the general examination, theforeign language requirements, and (in the caseof all students except conducting majors) thequali fying recital , the student becomes acandidate for the degree Doctor of Musical Arts.Students are notified of their advancement tocandidacy.

Students in every D.M.A. area of concentrationexcept conducting must present at least three full-length recitals during the course of study for thedegree. The first of these is considered to be aqualifying recital. Each recital must be precededby a juried pre-recital hearing. This hearing mustbe presented at least three weeks before thescheduled recital date and adjudicated by theadvisory committee. These recitals and concertsrepresent the culmination of the performance aspectof this degree, and will be judged according to thehighest levels of musical ar tistr y. Majors in

conducting must appear in concert as conductorswith the appropriate departmental major ensemble.Either two one-half concert appearances or onewhole concert appearance is required. In addition,conducting majors must present one full-lengthrecital during the course of study for the degree.

A written dissertation representing research intosome aspect of music performance, repertoire, orpedagogy is an impor tant requirement of thisdegree. The D.M.A. Disser tation is under theimmediate supervision of a member of the musictheory or music histor y faculty, and secondarilyunder the supervision of the advisory committee.It must be acceptable in literar y style andorganization. Specifications for its preparation areavailable in the Music Department office. It is thestudent’s responsibility to be certain that thedissertation conforms exactly to the specificationsprescribed by the Music Department. The D.M.A.Dissertation receives no academic credit, althoughthe fifteen credits of GRAD 495 (required ofstudents entering in Fall, 1998 or after) areassociated with its preparation. It is intended thatthis document will uphold the highest standards ofscholarship, identical to those required of Ph.D.dissertations.

The advisor y committee will set a date forcompletion of the D.M.A. Dissertation, allowing timefor each advisor to make suggestions for revisions,and then will set a date for the final examination,allowing time for the student to make thoserevisions. In some cases, further revision of thedisser tation may be required by the advisor ycommittee as a result of the final examination.Final approval of the dissertation following theexamination is indicated by the original signaturesof all members of the advisory committee on thedissertation’s final approval page. This must besubmitted to the Graduate School following theexamination. Final approval pages must be receivedat the Graduate School by August 31 for degreeconferral as of that date, by December 31 for degreeconferral as of that date, or by the May deadlinepublished annually by the Graduate School fordegree conferral on Commencement day. It is thestudent’s responsibility to place a copy of thedissertation in the Music Librar y after acceptanceby the committee. The technical specifications forthe preparation of the D.M.A. Dissertation areidentical to the specifications for the preparation ofthe Ph.D. disser tation (see “Candidacy andDissertation Preparation”).


Final ExaminationThe final examination is oral and under thejurisdiction of the advisor y committee. It dealsmainly with the subject matter of the D.M.A.Dissertation. It is held by August 31 for conferralas of that date, by December 31 for conferral as ofthat date, or by the May deadline published annuallyby the Graduate School for degree conferral on



Commencement day. Invitation to participate in theexamination is issued by the advisory committee,although any member of the faculty may attend.Not fewer than five members of the faculty,including all members of the candidate’s advisorycommittee, must participate in the final examinationunless written approval for a lesser number hasbeen secured in advance from the Dean of theGraduate School. The decision as to whether acandidate has passed or failed the examination restssolely with the advisory committee, which will takeinto account the opinions of any other participatingfaculty members. The vote of the advisor ycommittee must be unanimous. Following theexamination, the major advisor communicates theresults to the student and verifies that the of ficialrepor t has been completed and signed forsubmission to the Graduate School.

THE DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHYDEGREE

The Ph.D. is the highest degree offered by theUniversity and is offered in more than 60 fields ofstudy. The program leading to its attainment isintended to give persons of outstanding ability theopportunity to become creative contributors in ascholarly field. Award of the degree testifies tobroad master y of an established subject area,acquisition of acceptable research skills, and aconcentration of knowledge in a specific field.

While certain minimum requirements are setby the Graduate School, it is important for studentsto realize that work toward this degree is notmerely a matter of accumulating course credits orof satisfying other requirements. The degree willbe conferred only after the advisor y committeeand the Graduate Faculty are convinced that thestudent has developed independence of judgmentand mature scholarship in the chosen field. Anindividual may not earn more than one Ph.D.degree in a single field of study at this institution.

Time LimitsThe equivalent of at least three years of full-timestudy beyond the baccalaureate or two yearsbeyond the master’s degree (in the same or aclosely-related field) is required. All work must becompleted within eight years of the beginning ofdoctoral study, or, if the student entered with amaster’s degree in the same or a closely relatedfield, the doctorate must be completed within sevenyears. The beginning of doctoral study is definedas the beginning date of the earliest course,wherever taken, listed on the approved doctoralplan of study. The general examination must bepassed within five years of the beginning ofdoctoral study, or within four years if the studententered with a master’s degree in the same or aclosely-related field. Failure to complete the workwithin the periods specified or failure to maintaincontinuous registration (see “Continuous

Registration”) will require reevaluation of thestudent’s entire program and may result in a noticeof termination. A five-year time limit applies to theacceptability of foreign-language courses. (See“Foreign Language; Related or Supporting Area ofStudy.”)

An extension of a student’s terminal date isconsidered only when there is substantial evidencethat the student has attempted to make regular andconsistent progress toward completion of degreerequirements. A written recommendation to extendthe terminal date must bear the signature of thestudent’s major advisor , and it must be submittedin a timely manner to the Graduate School. Approvalis granted by the Dean. Each subsequent requestto extend a student’s terminal date requires greaterjustification and more extraordinary circumstances.Third requests for extension are rarely, if ever,granted.

Residence RequirementThe graduate student can fulfill the special demandsof a doctoral program only by devoting a continuousperiod of time to concentrated study and patientresearch with a minimum of outside distraction oremployment. During the second or subsequentyears of graduate work in the field, at least twoconsecutive semesters must be completed inresidence. Alternatively, this requirement may bemet by combining one semester of residence plus acontiguous 12-week summer period made up ofSummer Sessions I & II or Summer Session IV, ifagreed upon by the advisor y committee and thestudent. The residence period must be completedthrough registration for and completion ofappropriate course loads or research at the Storrscampus or, if more appropriate, at one of the othersites of instr uction and research within theUniversity system. Students ordinarily must registerfor full-time student status during the residenceperiod (see “Course Loads”).

The essential criterion for full-time study asrequired for fulfillment of the doctoral residencerequirement is whether the student is in factdevoting essentially full-time ef for t to studies,without undue distraction caused by outsideemployment. It is left to the advisor y committeeto determine whether a student’s outsideemployment is a distraction that prevents thestudent from devoting essentially full-time effortto the planned program. The advisory committeewill record this determination on the plan of study,along with a description of the nature, extent, andperiod(s) of outside employment during theresidence period.

Plan of StudyThe plan of study must be prepared, signed by thestudent and the members of the advisory committee,and submitted to the Graduate School for approvalby the Executive Committee of the Graduate FacultyCouncil when the student has completed not morethan twelve credits of course work to be applied tothe degree. The student may not take the generalexamination before the plan of study has been fullyapproved. Failure to present the plan on time may

prolong the period of study for the degree. Beforeformulating and signing the plan, the major advisorshould review a set o f t ranscr ip ts o f a l lundergraduate and graduate work the student hastaken. The advisory committee may require thatthe student take an explorator y examination toguide it in formulating the plan of study.

Courses elected should be consistent with thestudent’s objectives and related to the field in whichthe degree will be taken. Plans of study will consistlargely of courses at the 300’s level or above. Alimited number of credits at the 200’s level(ordinarily not more than six), if not open tosophomores, may be accepted. While there are nospecific course requirements for the doctorate, theExecutive Committee expects the plan to includeabout twenty to twenty-four credits of course work– exclusive of any related or suppor ting areao f fer ed in l ieu o f a non-cr edi t languagerequirement – beyond the master’s degree or itsequivalent in the same or a similar field. In otherwords, the work presented for the Ph.D. degreeshould equate to 44 to 48 credits beyond thebaccalaureate or its equivalent. For studentsentering in Fall, 1998 or later, at least 15 credits ofGRAD 495 (Disser tation Research) must beincluded in the plan of study, representing theresearch ef for t the student devotes to thedissertation.

Special provisions apply to the Ph.D. degree inchemistry and in polymer science.

The p lan sha l l des ignate any fore ignlanguage(s) in which the student is to be testedand any courses comprising a related or supportingarea. Course credit by examination is not allowedas a means of accumulating credits to meet therequirements for advanced degrees at thisinstitution. If an examination is permitted to be usedto fu l f i l l a r e la ted (or suppor t ing) ar earequirement for the Ph.D. degree, course creditis not given. No course credit is given for thedisser tation, but the research toward it isassociated with the minimum of 15 credits of GRAD495 required of students entering in the Fall 1998or later. The disser tation is regarded as animportant par t of the student’s program and isconsidered to represent at least one year of full-time graduate study.

Advanced course work taken on a non-degreebasis at the University of Connecticut may beincluded on a Ph.D. plan of study provided thefollowing conditions are met: (1) the gradesearned in such course work are B (not B-) orhigher, (2) such course work is within the seven oreight year limit (whichever applies) for completionof Ph.D. degree requirements, and (3) such creditshave not been applied toward any other degreehere or elsewhere (already completed or to becompleted in the future). In any event, inclusion ofnon-degree course work on the plan of studyrequires the consent of the advisory committee andis subject to the approval of the ExecutiveCommittee.

After approval of the plan by the ExecutiveCommittee, any request for change must be

3 5

submitted to the Graduate School on an official formbearing the signatures of the members of theadvisory committee and the student. Such requestsare subject to approval by the Executive Committee.The successful completion of all work indicated onthe approved plan of study is a fundamentalprerequisite to the conferral of the degree.

Once the plan of study is approved, the studentand the advisor y committee should reevaluate itregularly and modify it, following the establishedprocedure, if appropriate.

Foreign Language; Related or Sup-porting Area of StudyStudents are required to have a competent readingknowledge of at least one foreign languageappropriate to the general area of study or at leastsix credits of advanced work in a related orsupporting area. However, an advisory committeemay require a competent reading knowledge ofmore than one foreign language. The committeealso may require additional advanced work in oneor more related or supporting areas, alone or inconjunction with a foreign language.

If a related or supporting area is required, thecourses chosen must comprise a coherent unit ofadvanced (i.e., 200’s level not open to sophomoresor above) work outside the major field of study (orarea of concentration, if appropriate). Ordinarily,such course work is taken outside the student’s“home” department. The courses must be approvedby the advisor y committee as a part of the plan ofstudy. With few exceptions, they must be taken atthis institution. No course credits will be acceptedin transfer toward the related or supporting areaunless approved by the Executive Committee beforethe courses are taken. With the approval of theadvisor y committee, however, the passing of anexamination may be substituted for the course work.In the event of a non-language examination, one ormore examiners shall be designated by theExecutive Committee. With the consent of theadvisory committee, a three-credit advanced coursein mathematics or statistics passed satisfactorily atthis institution may fulfill the otherwise six-credit-minimum requirement if the student’s preparationcontains a suitably advanced prerequisite course(i.e., equivalent to a 200’s level University ofConnecticut course not open to sophomores) passedsatisfactorily at this or another institution (althoughno course credits will be accepted in transfer).

For a specific language to be consideredappropriate, there must exist a significant body ofliterature written in that language in the student’sfield. Students should plan to meet any languagerequirement early in their graduate careers andusually well before they begin preparation for thegeneral examination. One of five methods may beused to establish evidence of reading competencein an approved language. The advisory committeemay designate which method shall be used or mayleave the choice of method up to the student. Formethods (1) through (3), below, courses andexaminations will not be accepted if passed morethan five years prior to submission of the plan ofstudy for Executive Committee approval.

(1) The student may pass both semesters of anapproved one-year reading or intermediate coursein the language with grades equivalent to C (not C-) orhigher. This requirement will be considered to bemet if, in light of previous preparation, the studentis permitted by the instructor to enter directly intothe second semester of the one-year sequence andearns a grade of C (not C-) or higher. The coursesmay be taken by graduate students on aSatisfactory/Unsatisfactory basis, with a grade ofSatisfactory denoting performance at the level of C(not C-) or higher. The Executive Committeedesignates courses that may be taken for thispurpose. Cur rently they are French 163-164,French 165-166, German 145-146, Russian 157-158, Spanish 183-184, and Spanish 185-186.Alternatively, the student may pass a course in aforeign language or literature at or above the 200’slevel, provided that the reading for the course isrequired to be done in the language.

Language courses taken at other institutions arenot accepted. However, the student may consideroption (2).

(2) The student may pass an examination set bya member of the University faculty (or, if approvedby the advisory committee and the Graduate School,a faculty member at another college or university)designated by the student’s advisory committee andapproved by the head of the department in whichthe major advisor holds an appointment. Theexaminer may be a member of the same departmentbut may not be a member of the student’s advisorycommittee. The examination will include, but neednot be limited to, the translation of a passageapproximately 400 words in length. The use of adictionar y may be permitted at the option of theexaminer. The translation is to be written in Englishunless permission is granted by the ExecutiveCommittee of the Graduate Faculty Council to writeit in another language. Such permission is grantedonly if it is deemed in the best interest of the studentand if an acceptable examiner is available. Theexaminer will choose the passage from amongbooks or articles submitted by the major advisor.The passage may be the same for a group ofstudents in the same field or may be selectedindividually for each student. The examinationmust be super vised and have a reasonable timelimit. The result of the examination, whether passedor failed, must be reported to the Graduate Schoolon the of ficial form bearing the signature of theexaminer.

(3) A doctoral reading examination passed atanother graduate school of approved standing maybe accepted in transfer (subject to the above five-year limitation) provided the examination was takenprior to the student’s enrollment in this GraduateSchool.

(4) The student may establish evidence ofcompetence in the language through an officialtranscript stating that the baccalaureate or a higherdegree was earned with that language as the major.

(5) The student may establish evidence ofcompetence in the l anguage throughdocumentation that it is the student’s native

language, learned in childhood and used primarilythrough at least secondar y school.

Transfer CreditTransfer of credit for course work completed atother institutions is approved only after the studenthas demonstrated the ability to do acceptablegraduate work at the University of Connecticut.Such ability must be demonstrated by successfulcompletion of graduate-level, University ofConnecticut course work. The equivalent of twoyears of graduate work completed at accreditedinstitutions may be accepted, provided it is of atleast B (not B-) quality and it contributes to theobjectives of the proposed doctoral program. Suchgraduate work may be approved for transferprovided that the general examination is to bepassed and all degree requirements are to becompleted within the prescribed periods –respectively, four or five years and seven or eightyears – from the beginning date of the earliestcourse, wherever taken, listed on the approveddoctoral plan of study. (See “Time Limits.”) Transfercredit is not granted for individual courses usedtoward a degree elsewhere (already completed or tobe completed in the future). Instead, considerationis given to that degree program as an entity whenthe doctoral plan of study is being prepared.

Evaluation of PerformanceThe advisory committee continually evaluates thestudent’s perfor mance. Any graduate studentwhose scholastic record does not meet theminimum requirements of the Graduate Schoolmay be subject to dismissal. However, thecommittee may insist on more than the minimumscholastic requirements and may take other factorsinto consideration in deciding whether or not torecommend to the Dean that the student bepermitted to continue in the degree program.

General ExaminationThe general examination is taken near the end ofthe course program, but not later than eightmonths prior to the date of completion of all degreerequirements. In any event, the examination mustbe passed within five years of the beginning ofdoctoral study or within four years if the studententered with a master’s degree in the same or aclosely related field. The beginning of doctoralstudy is defined as the beginning date of theearliest course, wherever taken, listed on theapproved doctoral plan of study. Foreign languagerequirements should have been met and the relatedor suppor ting area courses completed well inadvance. The student may not take the generalexamination before the plan of study has beenapproved by the Executive Committee.

The general examination is under thejurisdiction of the student’s advisory committeeunless the members of the Graduate Faculty in astudent’s field of study have voted to assignjurisdiction for all or part of the examination to adif ferently constituted examining committee. Theexamination may be written, oral, or both. Allmembers of the advisory committee must be present



during any oral examination. A student is examinedin the several facets of his or her field of study, notmerely in the par ticular area of concentration.Advisor y or examining committees may give aseries of cumulative examinations, to be taken atinter vals over the student’s period of study. Forpractical purposes, the final part of such a seriesshall be regarded as “the general examination,” andits scope may be limited as the advisor y orexamining committee may judge appropriate.

The examining committee includes at least onefaculty member representing each of the majorareas addressed in the examination. Not fewer thanfive faculty members, including all members of thestudent’s advisory committee, must participate inthe examination. All examiners are invited tosubmit questions and to evaluate answers, but thefinal decision as to whether or not the student haspassed the examination shall rest solely with theadvisor y committee unless the members of theGraduate Faculty in a student’s field of study havevoted to assign this authority to a dif ferentlyconstituted examining committee.

After the examination, the major advisorcommunicates the results to the candidate andimmediately sends the official report, bearing thesignature of each member of the advisor ycommittee, to the Graduate School. Should thecommittee permit the student to take theexamination in several sections, only the final resultshould be reported.

Dissertation ProposalBefore preparation of the disser tation is wellunder way, the student must file a dissertationproposal addressing the intended research,following the guidelines contained on the specialform obtainable at the Graduate School or from theGraduate School website. Failure to file thedissertation proposal early may result in wastedeffort on a dissertation if changes are required inthe project. If human or animal subjects are involvedin the proposed research, special forms must becompleted and approval must be granted by theappropriate (either Storrs or Health Center)Institutional Review Board (IRB) or InstitutionalAnimal Care and Use Committee (IACUC).Documentation showing current IRB or IACUCapproval is to be submitted to the Graduate Schooltogether with the dissertation proposal.

Dissertation proposals are reviewed with thefollowing questions in mind: (1) Is the proposal wellwritten, well organized, and well argued? (2) Doesthe proposal describe a project of appropriatescope? (3) Does the student demonstrate aknowledge of the subject and an understanding ofthe proposed method of investigation? (4) Doesthe student show awareness of the relevantresearch by others? and (5) Does the studentconsider how the proposed investigation, ifsuccessful, will contribute to knowledge?

When the disser tation proposal has beencompleted and signed by the student and also hasbeen approved by the members of the advisor ycommittee, the proposal then is submitted to thehead of the department or program to which the

student was admitted. The head appoints reviewersfrom outside the advisory committee to conduct acritical evaluation of the dissertation proposal. Theuse of at least one reviewer from outside theUniversity is encouraged. Reviewers may beappointed to evaluate an individual student’sproposal, or they may be appointed to a committeeresponsible for reviewing all proposals in aparticular field of study or group of related fieldsof study. The head’s signature on the proposalwhen the review is completed confirms that theresults of the review were favorable. Theevaluation may take the form of a reading of theproposal or attendance at an oral presentation anddiscussion of the proposal. The head of thedepartment or program reports the result of itsexamination of a proposal to the ExecutiveCommittee in the form of a recommendation eitherto approve the proposal, to return it to the studentfor revisions, or to disapprove the proposal. Thedisser tation proposal normally should besubmitted for review not later than six monthsbefore the expected date of degree completion. Acopy of the signed approval form and dissertationproposal must be received by the Graduate Schoolwhen the review process been completed.

Candidacy and Dissertation Prepara-tionUpon approval of the plan of study, passing the generalexamination, and having had the disser tationproposal fully approved by the Executive Committeeof the Graduate Faculty Council, the student becomesa candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.Students are notified of their advancement toCandidacy.

A disser tation representing a significantcontribution to ongoing research in the candidate’sfield is a primar y requirement. The preparation ofthe disser tation is under the immediate andcontinuous supervision of the advisory committeeand it must meet all standards prescribed by thecommittee and by the Graduate School. It must beacceptable in literar y style and organization.Specifications for its preparation may be obtainedat the Graduate School or from the Graduate Schoolwebsite. It is the student’s responsibility to becertain that the dissertation conforms exactly tothe specifications prescribed by the GraduateSchool.


The dissertation is dated as of the calendar yearin which all requirements for the degree are met.The advisor y committee will set a date forcompletion of the dissertation, allowing time foreach advisor to make suggestions for revision, andwill set a date for the final examination, allowingtime for the student to make revisions and to submita complete preliminar y or “working” copy of thedisser tation at the Graduate School (or, if moreappropriate, at a central office at the Health Centerin Farmington) at least seven days before the

disser tation defense. When submitted to theGraduate School (or to the Health Center), thecomplete preliminar y or “working” copy of thedissertation must be accompanied by a tentative-approval form signed by all members of the advisorycommittee.

Following the examination, the student mustsubmit the final, fully-revised original of thedissertation together with an identical second copyto the Graduate School (also another copy ifsubmitted to the Health Center). The identicalsecond copy may itself be an original, or it may behigh quality photocopy. Alternatively, both of thefinal copies of the disser tation submitted to theGraduate School (or to the Health Center) may behigh quality photocopies. In any event, at least 25%cotton-content bond paper of at least 20-poundweight must be used for any original and/orphotocopy of the dissertation submitted to theGraduate School (or to the Health Center).

In some cases, revision of the dissertation isrequired by the advisor y committee as a result ofthe final examination. Final approval of thedissertation following the examination is indicatedby the presence of original signatures of allmembers of the advisory committee on the final-approval page, which must be submitted to theGraduate School soon after the student has beenexamined if no revisions are necessary. In any case,final-approval pages (and the revised dissertation,if changes are required) must be received at theGraduate School by August 31 for conferral of thedegree on that date, by December 31 for conferralof the degree by that date, or by the May deadlinepublished annually by the Graduate School fordegree conferral on Commencement day. Afterbinding, two copies of the dissertation become theproper ty of the Homer Babbidge Librar y. If adepartment or program requires extra copies, it isthe student’s responsibility to supply them directlyto the department or program.

Abstract, Microfilming, and OtherCompletion RequirementsAt the time the dissertation is submitted, fourcopies of the abstract (five if the dissertation issubmitted to the Health Center)must be submittedto the Graduate School (or with the dissertation atthe Health Center). The body of the abstract maynot exceed 350 words in length, and it is publishedin Dissertation Abstracts.

Microfilming of the dissertation by ProQuest isrequired. Agreement forms for this process mustbe completed by doctoral candidates whensubmitting the dissertation to the Graduate School(or the Health Center). This form also may be usedto arrange for optional copyrighting of thedissertation.

The student is required to pay a fee for themicrofilming of the dissertation. There also is a feefor copyrighting the dissertation, if this is desired.There is no charge to the student, however, for thebinding of the two final copies of the dissertation.Both final copies become the property of the HomerBabbidge Library.

3 7

All doctoral students are required to completethe “Survey of Earned Doctorates,” a federal formavailable at the Graduate School.

Final ExaminationThe final examination or dissertation defense is oraland and it is under the jurisdiction of the advisorycommittee. It deals mainly with the subject matterof the dissertation. The examination may not beheld not sooner than seven days after a workingcopy of the complete disser tation and tentativeadvisory committee approval have been submittedto the Graduate School (or the Health Center) andby August 31 for degree conferral by that date, byDecember 31 for degree conferral by that date, orby the May deadline published annually by theGraduate School for degree confer ral onCommencement day. Invitation to participate in theexamination is issued by the advisor y committee,although any member of the faculty may attend.Not fewer than five members of the faculty,including all members of the candidate’s advisor ycommittee, must participate in the final examination,unless written approval for a lesser number hasbeen secured in advance from the Dean of theGraduate School.

It is required that notification of the time andplace of the examination be sent by the majoradvisor, on a special form, to the Graduate Schooland to the UConn Advance Office in time to appearin the Advance not later than seven days prior tothe examination. The form is available only fromthe Graduate School (or the Health Center) or fromthe Graduate School website. When the Advance isnot being published (between semesters) orpublished irregularly (during the summer), thenotice never theless must be submitted forpublicat ion r etroactively. Meanwhile, theexamination should be adver tised widely in thecandidate’s department and elsewhere throughoutthe University, as appropriate, at least seven daysprior to the examination.

The decision regarding whether a candidate haspassed, conditionally passed, or failed theexamination rests solely with the advisor ycommittee, which will take into account theopinions of other participating faculty members andother experts. The vote of the advisory committeemust be unanimous. Following the examination, themajor advisor communicates the results to thestudent and verifies that the official report has beencompleted and signed for submission to the GraduateSchool.

CONFERRAL OF DEGREESConferralDegrees are conferred three times each year –August 31, December 31, and Commencement dayin May – although there is only one annual graduatecommencement ceremony (in May). Students whohave completed all requirements for a degree(including the formal application for the degreedescribed below) by the final day of the summer orfall conferral periods or, for doctoral candidates,not later than the Graduate School’s publisheddeadline prior to Commencement in May receivetheir diplomas by mail, normally within three monthsfollowing conferral.

Application for the DegreeFormal application must be filed on the official formprovided by the Graduate School. If filing is nottimely, conferral is delayed to the next conferralperiod, even though all other degree requirementsmay have been completed on time.

CommencementThe graduate Commencement ceremony is heldonce each year, at the end of the spring semester.Individuals who have had degrees conferred at theend of the previous summer or the previous fallsemester and candidates for degrees at the end ofthe spring semester who complete degreerequirements by the published deadline mayparticipate in the annual commencement ceremonyand are urged to do so. Academic regaliaappropriate for the University of Connecticut degreebeing conferred is strictly required. Informationconcerning the Commencement ceremony isdistributed by the Graduate School in the spring andis available at that time on the Graduate Schoolwebsite.



FIELDS OF STUDYFields of study and areas of concentration officially recognized by the GraduateSchool are limited to those listed below. Graduate degrees are awarded in thesefields of study. Each field of study is shown in conjunction with the degree ordegrees that may be awarded. The final transcript also will record completionof the special requirements of one listed area of concentration, if appropriate.These requirements are determined by a student’s advisory committee. TheGraduate School does not require that a student select an area of concentration,although an advisory committee may require a student to do so.

As a result of suchexperience, a student is expected to complete a bodyof art significant in content and of professional quality.Students develop a plan of study in consultation with amajor advisor and advisory committee. While theprogram emphasizes individualized studiesconcentrating on and combining studio art areas suchas ceramics, drawing, painting, photography,printmaking, and sculpture, there also are courseswhich will enable the student to engage otherresources of the Department of Art and Art Historyand the University community.

Admission. Students are admitted to begin studyin the fall semester only. Applicants for the M.F.A.degree must first meet the admission requirements ofthe Graduate School as specified in this Catalog.Consideration for admission also requires submissionof the following to the Department of Art and ArtHistory: (1) examples of recent original art presentedin the form of photographic color transparencies, or aportfolio of actual works, or a combination thereof; (2)three letters of recommendation; (3) a personal letterof application; (4) of ficial transcripts of allundergraduate and graduate level studies. The principalcriterion for admitting applicants into the M.F.A.program is the quality of the art work submitted andthe potential for graduate level development itsuggests. Applicants are not required to take theGraduate Record Examinations or the Miller AnalogiesTest.

Plan of Study. Students establish their owndirection and goals in consultation with a major advisorand an advisory committee. After such consultation,the plan of study is completed for the approval of thestudent’s advisory committee. Candidates for theM.F.A. are required to complete a minimum of 60credits of graduate course work. This total typicallyincludes 39 credits of graduate studio art distributedas follows: 21 credits in an area of major emphasis, 12credits outside the area of major emphasis, and sixcredits of M.F.A. project. An additional 15 credits areto be taken in non-studio graduate art courses and aredistributed as follows: nine credits of graduate artseminar, three credits in historical and contemporaryissues in art criticism, and three credits of special topicsin art history. The remaining six credits are graduateelectives. When deemed appropriate by the advisorycommittee, additional credits in advanced studio or art

histor y may be required of students whoseundergraduate backgrounds are deficient in theseareas.

M.F.A. Project. Reserved for the last semesterof study after candidacy review, the M.F.A. projectrequires accomplishment of a body of studio workculminating in a substantial exhibition for publicviewing, supported by a written statement, publicpresentation, and a photographic color-transparencyportfolio. The advisory committee conducts an oraldefense by the candidate of the completed body ofstudio work and of the written statement. Theexhibition is to emphasize work resulting from theM.F.A. project and courses taken in the final year ofstudy. A public presentation is required in conjunctionwith the exhibition. The photographic color-transparency portfolio, which is to include each workin the exhibition, and the candidate’s written statementshould be prepared in duplicate for retention in theDepartment of Art and Art History and in the Art andDesign Division of the Homer Babbidge Library.

Scholast ic Standards. The advisor ycommittee evaluates the student’s program whenevera grade of C or lower is recorded for a graduate course.Progress in all courses is monitored by the advisorycommittee, particularly if a student’s cumulative gradepoint average falls below 3.00 at any time during thecourse of study. The M.F.A. is not conferred unlessthe candidate maintains a cumulative grade pointaverage of at least 3.00 in all course work.

BIOLOGY


BIOMEDICALENGINEERING

Program Director: Professor John D. Enderle

Biomedical Engineering (BME) is an interdisciplinaryprofession that encompasses the broad area of interac-tion among the life sciences,physical sciences, medicalscience and engineering. It concerns itself with the in-vestigation and solution of problems associated with liv-ing systems that go beyond the customary specializationin biology, medicine and engineering. The Web site atwww.bme.uconn.edu further describes the program.

The goal of biomedical engineering graduateprogram is to provide students the interdisciplinarytraining in biological and medical sciences, physicalsciences, and engineering necessar y to solvecomplex biomedical problems. Faculty membersfrom engineering, biomedical sciences, materialssciences, chemistry, physics, medicine, and dentalmedicine form an interdisciplinary graduate degreeprogram that spans the University of Connecticutcampuses at Storrs and at the Health Center inFarmington. Biomedical engineering can embracethe following diverse yet complementary researchareas: biochemical engineering, bioinstrumentation,biomaterials, biomechanics, biomedical imaging/biosignal processing, biosensors, biotechnology,cellular and tissue engineering, clinical engineering,ergonomics, physiological systems modeling,neurobiology, and rehabilitation engineering.

An entering student's primary undergraduatetraining may be in engineering, the physical sciences,medicine or biology. However, all students mustdemonstrate competence in mathematical analyticalmethods, certain basic and advanced skills inengineering and computer science, as well as aknowledge of the fundamentals of physical andbiological sciences at the time of their graduation.Because of the diverse interests and variedbackgrounds of the students in biomedical engineering,plans of study are flexible and necessarily broad inscope. Plans of study are developed in consultationwith the student's advisory committee, are designedto meet individual needs.

Application Procedure. Applicants arerequired to submit to the BME Program Directorthree letters of recommendation (preferably frommembers of the academic profession) and a personalletter from the student describing their interest inbiomedical engineering.

The M.S. Program. Students whose primarytraining is in engineering can prepare themselves forentrance into one of the biomedical fields by completinga program leading to the master's degree in biomedicalengineering. The program also offers the biology andchemistry student a means of achieving the mathematical,engineering, and instrumentation skills necessary forresearch in certain areas of biological science andbiomedical engineering.

Only the Plan A (thesis option) is offered. Eightgraduate courses (24 credits), nine credits of Master’sThesis Research (GRAD 395), and the writing andoral defense of a thesis are required. Courses requiredof all M.S. students include:

BME 310 – Physiological Systems I BME 311 – Clinical Instrumentation [or BME 354 – Bioinstrumentation] BME 312 – Human Biomechanics BME 313 – Introduction to Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering BME 315 – Physiological Modeling.

The remaining courses are selected from the BMEcourse offerings and should be consistent with thestudent’s background, interests, and career plans.Exceptions to the specified M.S. course requirementsmust be approved by the BME Program Director.

The Ph.D. Program. Applicants to the Ph.D.program are expected to demonstrate outstandingability and to show, based on their record of previousscholarship and experience, that they are likely to dosuperior creative work in their respective fields.Holding a master’s degree from this or any otherinstitution does not render the applicant automaticallyadmissible to a doctoral program. In general, doctoralapplicants must meet all admission requirements forthe master’s degree as Regular graduate students andmust present evidence that they are capable of doingindependent work of distinction.

Beyond the M.S., a minimum of 24 credit hours ofBME course work (which must include BME 318 –Physiological Systems II) is required for the Ph.D.Additionally, 15 credits of Doctoral DissertationResearch (GRAD 495) are required.

If a doctoral student has not taken the five requiredM.S. courses or their equivalents (see “The M.S.Program”), these courses are required in addition tothe course work and research credits otherwiserequired for the Ph.D. The BME Program Directormust approve any exceptions to the courserequirements.

Research required for the doctoral degree inbiomedical engineering involves the use ofadvanced engineering techniques for the solutionof a biological or medical problem. To accomplishthis objective, a student whose primar y training isin the biological sciences must develop core skillsin mathematics, engineering, computer science, andphysical sciences through regular courses.Engineers are required to qualify in basicbiomedical sciences. All students are broughttogether in biomedical engineering courses offeredin the program. Once a research area has beenchosen, the student develops expertise in this areaby advanced course work, seminars, and tutorialwork in the department of his or her major advisor.

Clinical Engineering Internship. This is ahospital-based, two-year program supported by theclinical engineering departments of Hartford Hospital,The John Dempsey Hospital (UCHC), BaystateMedical Center, and West Haven V.A. Hospital.Applications should be received by January 1 for fullconsideration. As part of the selection process,applicants are invited to the hospital and campus inFebruary and March for interviews. The interview isrequired to secure a graduate assistantship (paidinternship). Final selections are made in April forFall admission. Each intern is expected to spend 20hours per week in a hospital’s clinical engineeringdepartment. The primary objectives are to: (1) provideexposure to hospital organization and administrative

structure; (2) provide an opportunity to applyengineering techniques to patient care and hospital-based research; and (3) provide substantial hands-onexperience working with health care technology andhospital personnel, including administrators, nurses,technicians and medical staff. Clinical engineeringtrainees are supported by stipends contributed by theparticipating hospitals. Students accepted for theinternship earn a Plan A Master’s degree.

The following courses are required of all ClinicalEngineering interns: BME 310 (PhysiologicalSystems I); BME 311 (Clinical Instrumentation) orBME 354 (Bioinstrumentation); and BME 350(Clinical Engineering Fundamentals). The remainingcourses are taken only from the BME course offerings,and should be from engineering disciplines related tothe student’s background, interests and future careerplans. The BME Program Director must approve anyexceptions to the course requirements.

Industrial Engineering Internship. Theindustrial internship offers an in-depth, vigorous, industrialexperience that complements the engineering expertisegained in the classroom. Companies located throughoutNew England participate in the program. The primaryobjectives of this industrial internship program for theintern are to provide: exposure to the industrialworkplace; the opportunity to apply engineeringknowledge and expertise to a variety of industrialprojects; and the opportunity to interact with a varietyof industrial work groups, including administrators,engineers, and technicians.

Applications should be received by January 1 forfull consideration. As part of the selection process,applicants are invited to participating industries and tocampus in February and March for interviews. Theinterview is required to secure a graduate assistantship(paid internship). Final selections are made in Aprilfor Fall admission.

Two types of internships are offered—one formaster’s degree candidates and the other for Ph.D.degree candidates.

Master’s Internship: Typically, the student worksfor the company and performs appropriate non-proprietary engineering company directed tasks for20 hours per week and is provided an opportunity toexplore activities of interest at the company for anadditional 15-20 hours per week. During year 1, it ishoped that this exploration process permits the studentto identify an appropriate master’s thesis project andto have it endorsed by both academic and industrialcoordinators by the end of year 1. It is important tonote that the company mentor assumes responsibilityfor assisting the student in selecting an appropriateresearch project that is then approved by the majoradvisor. During year 2, the student works on the M.S.project (during the 15-20 hour period each week) inaddition to performing company related tasks (20hours).

Ph.D. Internship: The Ph.D. internship followsthe master’s model initially with coursework andweekly workload, but it is of greater durationappropriate for the doctoral degree. Typically, thestudent works for the company and performsappropriate non-proprietary engineering companydirected tasks for 20 hours per week. Interns havethe opportunity to explore activities of interest at the

61

company for an additional 15-20 hours per week.During year 1, it is hoped that this exploration processpermits the student to identify an appropriatedissertation topic and to have it endorsed by bothacademic and industrial coordinators by the end ofyear 1. The industry mentor assumes responsibilityfor assisting the student in selecting an appropriateresearch project, which is then approved by the majoradvisor. During year 2 and beyond, the student workson the dissertation (during the 15-20 hour period eachweek) in addition to performing company related tasks(20 hours). The expected length of the internship isthree years beyond the M.S. degree (the length oftime can be as long a four years depending on thestudent’s background).

The Depar tment of Civil and EnvironmentalEngineering offers graduate courses and researchopportunities for students seeking the M.S. orPh.D. Research areas include environmental,geotechnical, str uctural and transpor tationengineering. In addition, the Depar tmentparticipates in interdisciplinary programs in appliedmechanics, environmental engineering and fluiddynamics.

Special Requirements for the Master’sDegree. Master’s degrees may be earned undereither of two plans. Plan A requires not fewer than21 credits of graduate program course work and thewriting of a Thesis, while Plan B requires not fewerthat 30 credits of graduate program course workand a final examination (but no thesis). Foroutstanding students who have completed sixcredits of approved graduate-level course work(300’s level or higher) as part of an undergraduateprogram (as electives and/or as professionalrequirements) prior to entry to the master’s degreeprogram (with grades of B+ or higher in all suchcourses) the advisory committee may reduce thecourse work to 15 credits for Plan A and to 24credits for Plan B.

Special Requirements for the Ph.D.Program. By the end of the first year of study, thePh.D. student must have passed a qualifyingexamination and have submitted evidence of his orher capacity for independent study in the form of amaster’s thesis or a comparable achievement. Inmany cases the final examination of the student’sM.S. program serves as the qualifying examination(See also “Applied Mechanics” and “FluidDynamics.”)

Special Facilities. The Department has fully-equipped, state-of-the-art laboratories for graduateresearch in applied mechanics, environmental,geotechnical, str uctural and transpor tationengineering. In addition to the typical laboratories,special departmental facilities include a 40' x 65'fully-equipped structures testing strong floor, state-of-the-art computer lab for computer aided design(CAD) and geographical information systems (GIS)laboratory, specialized asphaltic and bituminousmaterials laboratories and controlled environmentrooms for both environmental and geotechnicalresearch laboratories. Equipment is also availablefor conducting experimental research in the field.Specialized laboratories of the Environmental

COMMUNICATIONSCIENCES

Department Head: Professor Harvey R. GilbertProfessors: Buck and MusiekAssociate Professors: Coelho, Hamilton, Jalbert,

Snyder, and VanLearAssistant Professors: Cienkowski, Cornetto,

D’Alessio, Farrar, Gaztambide-Geigel, Grela,Johnson, Krcmar, Moncrieff, Max, Nowak, andRios

The field of communication science deals with theprocess and analysis of human communication. TheDepartment of Communication Sciences has two majorsections: Communication Disorders and CommunicationProcesses, each of which offer M.A. and Ph.D. degreeprograms. The Communication Disorders Section offersboth M.A. and Ph.D. concentrations in Speech,Language, and Hearing. The Communication ProcessesSection offers an M.A. concentration in Communicationand a Ph.D. concentration in Communication Processesand Marketing Communication.

Communication Disorders. Three areas ofemphasis leading to the M.A. degree are offered inthe concentration of speech, language, and hearing:(1) speech-language pathology, (2) audiology, and(3) the general emphasis. Students may elect eitherthe thesis or non-thesis option in speech-languagepathology and/or audiology. The general emphasisrequires a thesis. The emphases in speech-languagepathology and audiology lead to c l in icalcertification and are accredited by the AmericanSpeech-Language Hearing Association’s (ASHA),Council on Academic Accreditation (CAA). Thegeneral emphasis is designed for studentsinterested in speech, language, and hearingprocesses and their disorders, but not planning acareer as certified clinicians. The mission of theseareas of emphasis is to provide an understanding ofhuman communication disorders and their clinicalmanagement emphasizing a scientific approach.Academic courses and cl inical educat ionexperiences encourage a theoretical perspectiveand experimental orientation to develop anappreciation of current knowledge and futureresearch needs.

The Ph.D. also is of fered in the area ofconcentration of speech, language, and hearing.Five areas of emphasis within this concentrationare available: (1) speech pathology, (2) language,(3) audiology, (4) speech science, and (5) hearingscience. Doctoral students are expected to obtain abroad mastery of the area of concentration (speechpathology and audiology) and an in-depthknowledge of one of the five emphases throughadvanced course work and research.

Communication. Master’s level work incommunication emphasizes the empiricalinvestigation of human communication. Studentsreceive a basic foundation in communication theoryand research methodology. Those pursuing theM.A. in communication prepare to carr y outindependent research in communication and to

evaluate communication programs, either atinstitutions of fering doctoral-level work incommunication or in business or government. Areasof emphasis include: (1) general communicationtheory; (2) organizational communication; (3) masscommunication; (4) interpersonal communication;(5)marketing communication; and (6) newcommunication technology (12-month course ofstudy). Ample experimental and survey researchfacilities are available.

The Ph.D. in the Communication Processes andMarketing Communication area of concentrationprovides the student with strong theoretical andresearch skills to prepare for an academic career orprofessional research position. Research areasinclude: media ef fects, persuasion, emotional,in te r cu l tura l , i n te r na t iona l , nonverba l ,organizational, political, relational, and small groupcommunica t ion ; pub l i c op in ion , hea l thcommunication campaigns, new communicationtechnology, advertising, social marketing, andconsumer research.

COMPARATIVE LITERARYAND

CULTURAL STUDIESThe Program in Comparative Literary and CulturalStudies offers work leading to the M.A. and Ph.D.degrees, encouraging intercultural and interdisci-plinary approaches to the study of literature andculture. Students are prepared in such areas as lit-erary theor y, discourse analysis, the histor y andmethods of literary and cultural criticism, and inthe comparative study of literary texts in relationto other cultural productions. The program’s cur-riculum reflects changing relations among the lit-eratures and cultures of Europe, the Middle East,Africa, Asia, the Americas and other regions of theworld.

The Master’s degree student chooses oneliterature other than English for major emphasisand a second for minor emphasis; the Ph.D.candidate chooses in addition a third literature orrelated area of study such as music or philosophy.

Admission to Degree Programs . Aprospective student should be able to do graduatestudy in at least two different fields when applyingfor admission to the master’s program and in threefields when applying to the doctoral program. Anundergraduate major in one of these fields is notrequired. In special cases students may be requiredto make up lacunae in their background by takingadditional courses. Also, the student’s committeemay require changes in the student’s program inview of his or her particular needs.

The M.A. Program. The M.A. ordinarilyrequires a minimum of 24 credits of course workbeyond the baccalaureate, including a course inliterary theory and methodology; a course in at leastone non-Western literature and culture; and a coursefrom at least two of the following periods – ancient,medieval/Renaissance, modern. The course workmust include studies in at least two genres.Proficiency is required in three languages, one ofthem English. Students are responsible for twoperiods in one literature and for one period inanother. Students must successfully complete theM.A. qualifying exams, or, with the approval of thecommittee, have the option to prepare a Masters’project, a 50-page comparative work on a topic notpreviously submitted for a course and applying acritical apparatus.

The Ph.D. Program. The Ph.D. ordinarilyrequires 24 credits beyond the satisfaction of therequirements for the master’s degree listed above,drawn from courses in theory and criticism, studiesin at least two courses in literature and culturesdrawing on non-western traditions, work in morethan one discipline (e.g., anthropology, architec-ture, history, film, and sociology); a course involv-ing the period before 1700 A.D.; proficiency inthree languages, one of them English, and a read-ing knowledge of an ancient language; Ph.D. quali-fying exams, written and oral; a Ph.D. dissertationthat reflects appropriate use of bibliographic mate-rials in foreign languages, the application of a criti-

COMPARATIVE LITERARY AND CULTURAL STUDIES


cal apparatus upon a genuinely comparative topic,successful teacher training and practice supervisedby members of the committee in a workshop se-ries.

All students are expected to develop proficiencyin a national language and literature to increase theiroptions when entering the professional job market.

Language Requirements. These may be satis-fied either by scoring a B or above in a 200-levelliterature or culture course in the target languageor by obtaining a respectable score on a proficiencyexamination. The reading exams require transla-tions of materials chosen by the faculty, to be com-pleted before the final semester of studies.

Foreign Study. The program of fers thepossibility of studying in a variety of foreigncountries for graduate credit. Universities now opento our students are located in Canada, Europe, LatinAmerica, North Africa and Subsaharan Africa.

Study leading to the Master of Arts and Doctor ofPhilosophy degrees is offered.

Requirements for the Master of Ar tsDegree. The program of studies for the M.A.degree is not uniform for all students. Thecombination of courses depends on the candidate’sobjective. For some purposes, a broad spread ofsubject-matter courses may be advisable, while forother purposes a narrowly focused program maybe appropriate. Economics 308, 309, 310 arerequired. Candidates with inadequate backgroundsin mathematics are required to take Economics214Q.

Requi rements f o r the Doc tor o fPhilosophy Degree. Students in the Ph.D.program are required to pass Economics 411, 412,414, 418, 419, 420, 428, 429 or their equivalents.Undergraduate courses will not normally beconsidered as equivalents.

If a supporting area of study is elected ratherthan a foreign language, it cannot include any ofthe courses used to satisfy the above requirements;it must consist of a coherent unit of work in onesubject considered a special skill for economists,and it must include at least one course above the200’s level.

Each student must pass the preliminar yexamination in economic theory before taking thefield examination. Students choose from among thefollowing: Industrial Organizations, InternationalEconomics, Macro/Money, and Public Economics.This field is then augmented with other courseofferings.

Special Facilities. Computer time andassistance are available at the University ComputerCenter. Research opportunities may be available inconnection with faculty projects or at theConnecticut Center for Economic Analysis. Somestudents publish scholarly articles in partnershipwith faculty.

FLUID DYNAMICSFluid dynamics is concerned with the engineeringaspects of fluid mechanics in the broadest sense. Itencompasses fundamental theor y of perfect andviscous flows, compressible and heated flows,magnetohydrodynamics and plasma jets, free-surface flows in oceans and natural water courses,laminar and turbulent flows, and the vast number ofpractical applications which make fluid motionsuseful.

The Ph.D. Program. The student’s plan ofstudy is arranged in consultation with his or heradvisory committee to develop competence in fluiddynamics. Since it is possible to emphasizetheoretical, applied or experimental research, thestudent must develop a balance within his or herprogram consonant with his or her stated objectives.The remain ing courses should be o f aninterdisciplinary nature from the departments ingeological, biological, and marine sciences,engineering, chemistry, mathematics, physics, andothers which the student and the committee feelare pertinent to the student’s program.

About half the total credits should be taken incourses oriented toward the engineering aspects offluid dynamics. The remainder of the programshould consist of related courses preferably in twoor more supporting areas considered appropriatein the student’s objectives. These may include anycourses in solid mechanics, including continuummechanics, elasticity, plasticity, vibrations andstructural or soil mechanics; also any courses inthermodynamics, heat transfer, power plants,process dynamics or reaction kinetics. Relatedcourses in electrical engineering could includethose in field theory, networks, computer science,and systems. Fundamental studies in chemistr y,mathematics, physics, and statistics constitute animportant part of the related course work.

This program is the joint responsibility of theDepartments of Civil Engineering and MechanicalEngineering. Inquiries concerning the program maybe addressed to these departments.

For Ph.D. students, required course work consistsof the methodological core of one course each in GIS,spatial statistics, research design and the developmentof geographic thought. The substantive core consistsof 12 credits in 400’s-level Geography courses notincluding GEOG 415. To ensure adequate preparationfor teaching, all students take a one-credit practicumcourse GEOG 415 with a faculty member who hasregular teaching responsibilities in the appropriatearea. Finally, the student completes at least six creditsof related course work in a cognate area and at leastsix credits of course work from a related field outsidethe department.

The dissertation topic is chosen by the studentand major advisor, in consultation with the advisory

127

committee. After the appropriate course work has beencompleted, a general examination with both writtenand oral sections is administered. The written sectionof the examination is given first. The oral section isgiven no later than two weeks after the conclusion ofthe written section and only to students who havepassed the written portion of the general examination.Doctoral degree students must submit a dissertationproposal for approval.

The Department recommends that applicants foradmission to the graduate program have a strongbackground in Geography or a related discipline.Students must submit GRE scores and internationalapplicants must also supply TOEFL scores.

Graduate Certificate in Geographic Infor-mation Systems. A graduate certificate programis offered. The Program is designed to provide afocussed, specialized education for professionalsseeking exper tise in the rapidly evolving field ofGeographic Information Systems (GIS), which al-lows automated storage, retrieval, and cartographic/graphic presentation of spatially-based data sets(e.g., land ownership records, land use informa-tion, U.S. census data).

Students enrolled in the program are expectedto complete successfully both GEOG 301 and GEOG303, plus two additional courses in Geography orrelated fields. Both of these additional two coursesmust be at the graduate (300 or 400) level, with thelone exception of NRME 238, which will be acceptedfor credit. A student’s program may include onlyone course described as GEOG 325. Uponadmission to the program, a student would developa program of study with the Certificate ProgramCoordinator. The sequence of courses is important,because graduate courses are available only onceeach year.

Students wishing to enroll in this certificateprogram must have a B.A. or B.S. degree from anaccredited institution and must be able todemonstrate either a GPA of at least 2.75 or a scoreof 1000 or higher on the Graduate RecordExamination. Students who do not meet theserequirements may qualify for the certificate programby completing at least two courses (six credits)acceptable to the faculty of the department with atleast a grade of B in each. If a student qualifies forthe certificate program through this latter process,the credits earned in the two courses will applytoward completion of the program. The certificate,a document cer tifying that the student hascompleted a coordinated set of courses related toGeographic Information Systems, is awarded whena student passes all required courses with gradesof B- or higher. Further information can be obtainedfrom the Department of Geography, U-148, Storrs,Connecticut 06269-2148.

Special Facilities. The program is supportedboth by in-house facilities and external contacts.The department maintains a full range of graphicslaboratories. These include both research andteaching laborator ies equipped wi th NTworkstations, laser printers, plotters, and digitizersas well as regular computer terminals and printerslinked to the University’s Computer Center and well

equipped microcomputer lab. These facilities arecomplemented by research and practicumopportunities in a wide range of external agencieswith whom collaborative relations have beenestablished by means of the depar tment’sexperience with internship programs.

Departmental Requirements for the Ph.D.Students who have a master’s degree in history, orare working for one, and whose graduate work showssufficient promise may apply for admission to thedoctoral program, submitting a transcript of at leastone semester’s work at the master’s level. Allapplicants for admission to the doctoral programfollow the same procedures for admission asrequired of an applicant to the master’s program.New doctoral students are expected to begin full-time study during the year for which they areadmitted.

Students pursuing the doctorate with an area ofconcentration in medieval or modern Europeanhistory must demonstrate their reading competencein two European languages. Students in UnitedStates and Latin American histor y as well as thoseemphasizing modern British history must demonstratereading competence in at least one foreign language.Additional competency may be required by the majoradvisor, depending on the student’s research area.

Applicants admitted with a master’s degree areexpected to submit evidence of proficiency in at

least one foreign language early in their firstsemester of work. The entire language requirementmust be completed before a student takes the generalexamination.

A doctoral student in history must complete aminimum of one year of full-time study in residencebeyond the master’s degree, consisting of twoconsecutive semesters of a full-time graduateprogram (i.e., 24 credits of course work or theequivalent) at the Storrs campus. A graduateassistant, whose academic program proceeds at halfthe rate of the full-time student, fulfills theresidence requirement with two years of suchservice.

Other requirements, particularly regarding theareas for the general examination, are described inthe pamphlet, Graduate Programs in History, whichmay be obtained from the Department.

The Department of Marine Sciences offers studyand research programs leading to the degrees ofMaster of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in thefield of oceanography. Areas of special interestinclude biological, chemical, geological andphysical oceanography and marine geophysics.

Because of the varied training of students andthe interdisciplinar y nature of marine sciences,plans of graduate study are flexible and broad inscope, and are designed to meet the needs of theindividual student. The department offers severalcourses which are used as a core curriculum in thestudy of marine sciences, in addition to an array ofother offerings in specific areas of the field.

Master of Science . For admission, abachelor’s degree in a related science normally isrequired and there are no special requirements foradmission beyond those of the Graduate School.Selection of a Plan A (thesis) or Plan B (coursework) degree normally is made after consultationwith the student’s advisor y committee. Since thefaculty conduct laborator y and field researchprograms, most students complete a researchproject.

Doctor of Philosophy. Students entering thedoctoral program normally have a master’s degreein a related science. Specific course requirementsfor the Ph.D. degree in oceanography areestablished by the student’s advisor y committee.Depending upon the student’s committee, a foreignlanguage or a related area of study (e.g., statistics,computer science) outside the student’s majorprogram emphasis is required. Upon passing thewritten portion of the general examination, thestudent takes an oral examination, which covers thefield of oceanography.

The Department also actively participates inseveral interdisciplinary academic programs at theM.S. and Ph.D. level:

Biological Sciences. Certain members of thefaculty also are members of the Department ofEcology and Evolutionary Biology. Work in marineecology, botany, and evolution is available.

Geological Sciences. M.S. and Ph.D. level programsassociated with the Department of Geology andGeophysics are available. Appointments of severalDepartment faculty allow work in marine geophysics,geology and sedimentology.

Since the program inmedieval studies is intended to provide a synthesisof broad areas of medieval culture and thought as abasis for constr uctive research in specializedaspects of cultural and intellectual history, studentsnormally are required to include in their programscourses offered by the supporting departments.

Admission to Degree Programs. TheMedieval Studies Admissions Committee acceptsstudents either to the master’s or Ph.D. program.An undergraduate major in the area of study is notnecessarily required, but before admission studentsmust give evidence of adequate preparation to workin their proposed area of emphasis.

The M.A. Program. Work leading to thedegree of Master of Arts in medieval studies maybe undertaken under either Plan A (with thesis) orPlan B (without thesis). In either case, course workin medieval studies should be distributed amongseveral departments, and the student’s advisorycommittee is composed of representatives of threedepartments.

The Ph.D. Program. Approximately one halfof the course work required for the degree of Doctorof Philosophy in medieval studies should be in thedepartment of emphasis, the remaining half to betaken in two or more other cooperating departments.In addition to the Graduate School’s requirementsfor the doctorate, reading examinations in threeforeign languages, normally French, German, andLatin, are required of all students in the program.It is expected that the student will pass theseexaminations immediately upon admission and inno case later than the end of the first year of studyin the Ph.D. program. The student’s advisor ycommittee will consist of representatives of threedifferent cooperating departments.

Courses of study. Course offerings and staffare listed under the cooperating and supportingdepartments referred to above. The Committee forMedieval Studies organizes a number of colloquiaopen to graduate students, featuring staff membersor visitors.

Adjunct Assistant Professors: Callegari, Gastonguay, andYazdanian

Programs leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees inPharmaceutical Science are offered with areas ofconcentration in (1) Medicinal and Natural ProductsChemistry, (2) Neurosciences, (3) Pharmaceutics,and (4) Pharmacology and Toxicology. Theseprograms make full use of courses of fered bydepartments in such areas as organic, analytical,and physical chemistry; biochemistry; molecularand cell biology; neurobiology; biophysics;physiology; statistics; mathematics; microbiology;pathology; and materials science. A brief descriptionand a statement of objectives for each of the areasof concentration are offered below.

Medic ina l and Na tura l Produc tsChemistry. Medicinal chemists investigate thestructural features responsible for the biologicalactivity of drug molecules. To this end they designand synthesize new potentially active drugs. Theyalso study the molecular mechanisms of drug actionusing biophysical methods and focusing on thestereoelectronic features of the drug and itsinteractions with its site of action. As a means ofexploring the mechanism of drug action, they alsostudy the target biopolymers through which drugactivity is induced. Fur thermore, they areinterested in modifying drug structures to assist intargeting and to facilitate transport. Although theirmajor concern is with chemistr y, medicinalchemists must be a lso fami l iar wi th thepharmacological and biochemical systems on whichthe drug molecules act.

PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCE


The M.S. (Plan A) and the Ph.D. are offered inthe concentration of medicinal and natural productschemistry. A strong background in chemistr y isessential for admission. Required course workvaries with the background and interests of thestudent. This includes advanced courses inmedicinal chemistry and pharmacognosy as well ascourses from the following disciplines: organic,physical, and biophysical chemistry; spectroscopy;biophysics; biochemistr y; molecular biology;pharmacology; microbiology.

Neurosciences. This is an interdisciplinar yarea of concentration. Neuroscience is concernedwith the structural and functional characteristics ofthe nervous system and its relation to the adaptivephysiology and behavior of the organism. Studentsin this program may approach the full range ofneuroscience studies through courses and researchat the cellular, systemic, and organismic levels. Aparticular strength of the area is the analysis ofbehavior, its development, and its neurologicalbases. This area of concentration is offered in thef ie lds of s tudy of b iobehavioral sc ience,phar maceut ica l sc ience, physiology, andpsychology. Application is made to the preferredfield of study, but the applicant must be acceptableto the Neurosciences Committee.

Pharmaceutics. Pharmaceutics deals withthose factors bearing on the design of drug deliverysystems that are safe and ef ficacious. Thenecessary concern with such factors as the stabilityof the drug molecule in a multitude of environments,the release of the drug from various dosage forms,surface and colloid chemistry, and the subsequentabsorption, metabolism, and excretion of the drugrequires a diversified educational and researchexperience. Faculty interests and graduate plans ofstudy may emphasize kinetics, thermodynamics,transpor t phenomena, biophar maceutics,pharmacokinetics, biopharmaceutics of proteins, andbiotechnology. Moreover, each of these exposuresentails an emphasis on quantitative appraisals whichdemand grounding in advanced mathematics. Whileindividual dissertation problems usually are sharplyfocused, the overall thrust of the graduate programin pharmaceutics is the education of a generalist indrug delivery systems.

The M.S. (Plan A) and the Ph.D. are offered inthe concentration of pharmaceutics. In particular,course work in advanced pharmaceutics, physicalchemistry, and mathematics is required.

Pharmacology and Toxicology. Scholarlylaboratory research and the educating of graduatestudents in all aspects of drug action are paramountactivities of the pharmacology and toxicology faculty.Espec ia l l y emphas ized a re therapeut i c ,immunological, and toxic reactions to drugs andchemicals and their physiological and biochemicalmechanisms of action. Emphasis in the areas ofbiochemical toxicology and cardiovascularpharmaco logy, neur opharmaco logy andpsychopharmacology as well as physiology andimmunology, is available.

The M.S. (Plan A) and the Ph.D. are offered inthe concentration of pharmacology and toxicology.For admission to the graduate program, a strong

background in biology as well as proficiency inchemistry, mathematics, and physics are essential.Course requirements for the Ph.D. degree areindividualized, although advanced courses inpharmacology, physiology, and biochemistry areuniformly required.

PHILOSOPHYDepartment Head: Professor Crawford L. ElderProfessors: Anderson, Baxter, Clark, Gilbert, Krimerman,

Kupperman, Meyers, Millikan, and WheelerAssociate Professors: Hiskes, Lehmann, and TroyerAssistant Professors: Beall, Bloomfield, and Bontly

The Department of Philosophy offers study leadingto the degree of Master of Ar ts and Doctor ofPhilosophy. Courses of study typically focus onphilosophy of psychology and mind or on philosophyof social phenomena and ethics, but also can be builtaround philosophy of language, metaphysics, orhistory of philosophy. The instruction is broad enoughto make students versatile undergraduate instructors,and concentrated enough to enable students to dosignificant research.

Students are able to work closely with the facultyat ever y stage of progress from the initialconstruction of a plan of study to the completion ofa dissertation. In this way, the work can be guidedtoward that aspect of philosophy that is of mostinterest to the student and also provide the studentwith a sound background in the field. First yearstudents must satisfy a formal logic requirement,normally by taking Philosophy 307. First yearstudents also should take Philosophy 301 (unlessthey have a strong background in contemporar yanalytic philosophy) and Philosophy 302 (unlessthey have a strong background in moral theory andmeta-ethics).

Admission . After reviewing the basicrequirements for admission to the Graduate School,applicants should present to the PhilosophyDepar tment their scores for the General Test ofthe Graduate Record Examinations, three letters ofrecommendation from individuals familiar with theiracademic work, and a philosophical writing sample.

The M.A. Program. The student’s programshould insure competence in the histor y ofphilosophy and in current trends in the field. TheDepar tment generally of fers only Plan B (non-thesis) for the M.A.

The Ph.D. Program. The Ph.D. degreerequires a minimum of eight graduate seminarsbeyond the M.A. level. Students who enroll in thePh.D. program with an M.A. from another institutionare reviewed after one year. A student may meetthe Ph.D. language requirement by passingexaminations in two foreign languages, usuallyFrench and German, or by passing an examinationin one of these languages and completing either asix-credit Related Area, or, alternatively, six creditsof advanced logic beyond the level of Philosophy307.

The General Examination normally is takenwithin one year of the completion of course work.The General Examination is in three par ts: 1)Metaphysics and Epistemology (three hours), 2)Social and Political Philosophy and Ethics (threehours), and 3) History of Philosophy (three hours).

The Department provides the student with areading list which indicates the scope of theseparate examinations.

Special Facilities. The holdings of the HomerBabbidge Library are adequate for the pursuit ofscholarly research in most fields of philosophy.The Library subscribes to all major philosophicjournals and has a complete collection of past issuesof most journals. The Department conducts informalweekly seminars at which members discuss currentresearch with their colleagues. It runs a program ofcolloquia featuring distinguished philosophers fromaround the country, and presents the yearly RuthEvelyn Parcells Lecture in ethics.

The Department of Political Science offers studyleading to the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctorof Philosophy. Master’s degree students usuallytake a less specialized program, including work inseveral areas of political science.

Admission to the Master of Arts DegreeProgram. All applicants are required to take theGraduate Record Examinations. Only thoseapplicants showing high scholastic promise areadmitted. Usually, an undergraduate major inpolitical science (or an equivalent body of coursework) is required for admission, However,exceptions are made for promising candidates whohave majored in re la ted sub jec ts . Someundergraduate work in histor y, economics, andsociology also is desirable. Except where the M.A.degree clearly is intended to be a terminal degree,the admissions committee is reluctant to actfavorably in the case of an applicant whose recordshows no successful academic exposure to one ormore foreign languages.

Requirements for the Master’s Degree.After fulfilling the requirements for the master’sdegree, a final examination is administered. Thefinal examination for the M.A. degree is both writtenand oral.

Admission to the Ph.D. Degree Program.Students pursuing the M.A. in Political Science orM.P.A. degree who wish to continue for the Ph.D.degree are admitted to the doctoral program onlyupon recommendat ion o f the commit teeadministering the M.A. or M.P.A. final examination.Those who have earned the M.A. degree elsewhereare admitted to pursue doctoral work here only withvery convincing professional recommendations anddemonstrated evidence of scholarly ability. Suchapplicants also must submit the results of theGraduate Record Examinations.

Departmental Requirements for the Ph.D.Degree. The Ph.D. program involves two distinctstages. Doctoral students first prepare for acomprehensive wr i t ten and ora l genera lexamination. After passing this examination, theydevote themselves to research and the writing of adissertation. All doctoral students must prepare intwo of the following areas: international relations,comparative politics, American politics, publicadministration, public law, public policy, publicopinion/survey research, and political theory. As partof the Ph.D. general examination process, thestudent is expected to present a disser tationproposal that is considered by the advisor ycommittee to be ready to defend.

All doctoral students are required to take, asearly in their program as possible, Political Science

177

393, Political Science 395, and Political Science 396.Ph.D. students are required to have a competent

reading knowledge of at least one foreign languageappropriate to the general area of study or, uponrecommendation of the advisory committee, at leastsix credits of advanced work in a related area or asupporting area such as statistics. However, anadvisory committee may require additional advancedwork in a related or supporting area, alone or inconjunction with a foreign language.

Special Facilities. Students interested incomparative politics will find the Center for LatinAmerican Studies and the Center for Slavic and EastEuropean Studies valuable resources. A vast archiveof sur vey data from polls taken both in the UnitedStates and abroad is housed at the Roper Center,which is par t of the Institute for Social Inquir y.Excellent computer facilities together with experttechnical help from the Institute’s staff provideready access to these survey materials.

The Department of Psychology offers study leadingto the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the severalareas described below. There is a pervading emphasison the acquisition of a general background inexperimental findings and theoretical interpretations.All students conduct independent experimentalprojects prior to research for the dissertation.Opportunities are provided for preprofessionalexperience in teaching, research on grant-supportedprojects, and with clinical agencies. The Departmentalwebsite is http://psych.uconn.edu.

Behavioral Neuroscience. This area ofconcentration of fers study that focuses on thebiological basis of behavior, through researchparticipation, seminars, and formal course work.Research programs make use of a variety ofapproaches – of neurophysiology, neurochemistry,neuroanatomy, neuroendo-crinology, genetics,ethology, and behavioral analysis – to studyproblems in sensation, perception, emotion,motivation, learning, motor activity, aggression, sexdifferences, reproductive behavior, communication,brain lateralization, and the organization of sensorycortex.

Clinical Psychology. The clinical program isdesigned to produce psychologists able to work ona scientific and professional level, with specialcompetence in research, diagnosis, and therapy. Atleast one year of internship at an approved facilityis required. The program has APA certification.

Cogni t ion/Instr uct ion . This area ofconcentration bridges the gap between psychologicaltheory and research and educational practice. Trainingincludes courses in research and theory in sensationand perception, action theory, learning and cognition,social cognition, cognitive development andinstructional theories and models derived frombehavioral and cognitive psychology. Additionally,research experiences are provided both at theUniversity as well as in more applied settings.

Developmental Psychology. Training in theconduct of research and the analysis of theory inch i ld and deve lopmenta l psycho logy i ssuperimposed on a broad background in generalpsychology. Areas given emphasis include cognitivedevelopment, computer modeling, developmental

181

behavior genetics, intelligence, language, learning,mental retardation, and motivation.

General Experimental Psychology. Threeareas of specialized study are of fered: (1) theecological approach to perception and action, (2)language and cognition, and (3) visual and auditoryperception and learning. Facilities exist for researchand training on many topics, including: theperceptual control of action, coordinated movement,psycholinguist ics, speech perception andproduction, neurobiological and psychophysicalstudies, and the philosophical and theoreticalfoundations of perception, action, and cognition.Emphasis in psycholinguistics is provided incooperation with the Department of Linguistics.

Industrial/Organizational Psychology. Thisarea of concentration is concerned with theapplication and extension of psychological facts,methods, and principles to the problems ofbusiness, government and industry. The programhas two areas of emphasis: (1) personnelorganization psychology, and (2) human factors/ergonomics. All students take the same core coursesin the first year of study. A one-year internship atan approved facility is required.

Neurosciences. This is an interdisciplinar yarea of concentration. Neuroscience is concernedwith the structural and functional characteristics ofthe ner vous system and its relation to the adaptivephysiology and behavior of the organism. Studentsin this program may approach the full range ofneuroscience studies through courses and researchat the cellular, systemic, and organismic levels. Apar ticular strength of the area is the analysis ofbehavior, its development, and its neurologicalbases.

The University of Connecticut School of Social Workpromotes social and economic justice by providinghigh quality graduate education in social work. TheSchool shares with other units of the University thepursuit of excellence in teaching, research and schol-arship, the vision of an expanded international role,and a commitment to public service that bring theknowledge of the University to the people of the State.The School of Social Work offers courses of studyleading to the degrees of Master of Social Work andDoctor of Philosophy.

The M.S.W. Program. The primary goal of theM.S.W. program is to prepare competent professionalpractitioners to help people to enrich their lives,improve their communities, and contribute to socialjustice. To prepare MSW graduates for advancedpractice in a variety of settings, the curriculumemphasizes knowledge and method skills for socialwork in micro-level practice (i.e. helping individuals,families, and groups to mobilize their personal andenvironmental resources to reach their goals) andmacro-level practice (i.e. administration, policyformulations, organizational and environmentalchanges through group and community advocacy andsocial actions).

The course of study requires that students earn18 of the program’s 60 credits in field education,through supervised placements in agencies wherethey learn to integrate theory and practice. All studentsare required to complete courses in Micro and MacroFoundation, Human Behavior in the SocialEnvironment; Micro (B 361) and Macro (B 360),Analysis of Social Welfare Policy (B 350), HumanOppression (B 300) and Advanced Research. Inaddition to the required foundation courses, studentsspecialize in one of the following advanced majormethods: casework, group work, communityorganization, administration or policy and planning.Electives and independent study enable students tomeet their interests in substantive areas of theprofession. The M.S.W. program at the University ofConnecticut School of Social Work is accredited bythe Council on Social Work Education.

The M.S.W. Admission Procedure.Applications for admission to the M.S.W. programshould be sent directly to the School of Social Work.A more detailed description of the M.S.W. program,admission procedures, and financial aid informationare available at the School of Social Work website<http://www.ssw.uconn.edu> and in the current viewbook of the School of Social Work which can be

Dual Degree Programs. Reflecting theSchool’s commitment to interdisciplinary teaching andpractice, dual degree programs are offered with theUniversity of Connecticut Schools of Law (J.D.),Business (M.B.A.) and Medicine (M.P.H.). A jointdegree program is also offered with the Yale DivinitySchool. There are separate admission applicationsfor these programs.

The STEP Program. The School of Social Workalso has a non-degree program, STEP (Staff Trainingand Education for the Profession), that is available tostudents who hold a bachelor’s degree. Students areencouraged to test their interest in the social workdegree by taking courses in STEP. Students who thenmatriculate may be able to apply credits earnedthrough STEP toward the MSW degree. Non-creditcourses also are held on a variety of specialized socialwork topics.

The Ph.D. Program. The goal of the doctoralprogram in Social Work is to equip future social workleaders with the expert scholarly and research skillsneeded to provide intellectual leadership and directionto the profession. The program provides a rigorouscurriculum designed to prepare social workers forcareers as faculty in colleges and universities and asresearchers, policy analysts and planners, and highlevel administrators in public and private social serviceorganizations. The curriculum reflects the particularattention given to the unique role of research in thetraditions of professional social work in relation toapplied practice and to knowledge building.

The course of study consists of 54 graduate credits.Nine core courses (27 credits) provide the studentswith competency in advanced research methods andstatistics, social science theories and practice theories,while the balance consists of three elective courses(9 credits) in related disciplines, dissertationpreparation seminar (3 credits) and dissertationresearch (15 credits). It is expected that programcompletion will require three to five years for full-time students.

The Ph.D. Admission Procedure. In additionto the admission standards of the University ofConnecticut Graduate School, applicants to the Ph.D.Program in Social Work must have an MSW degreeand a minimum of two years post-MSW experience insocial work. Completed applications, processing fee,residence affidavit, three letters of recommendation,a personal statement, financial aid form and curriculumvita, and of ficial transcripts from all colleges/universities attended must be sent directly to theUniversity of Connecticut School of Work Ph.D.Admissions Office. All Ph.D. Program applicants areadvised to visit the UConn School of Social Workwebsite <http://www.ssw.uconn.edu> for moredetailed information about the Ph.D. Program.

TheDepar tment par ticipates in the University’sCorrections Program and the master’s-levelconcentration in Survey Research. Members of theDepartment also are associated with Judaic Studies,African Studies, African-American Studies, AsianAmerican Studies, and with Women’s Studies.

The Department regards a basic understandingof research methods and statistics to be an essentialpar t of graduate training in sociology. Theknowledge and competence required correspondwith three courses: 321, 322, and one statisticalmethods course. All students are required to passthese courses, or their equivalents, during theirfirst two years of full-time study.

Candidates for the Ph.D. degree are requiredto have a master’s degree in sociology or itsequivalent as determined by the admissionscommittee. Applicants with master’s degrees inother fields must be admitted to the master’sprogram until they have satisfied the equivalencyrequirement.

It is recommended that master’s students takecourses in social structure and personality and socialorganization. Courses in social theory, methods, andstatistics are required for the M.A. degree. Studentsmay (1) write a Master’s thesis or (2) submit aportfolio of their scholarly work in the four areasnoted above (i.e., social structure and personality,social theor y, social organization, and methods).Portfolios may be submitted at any time.

Students who have been admitted to the Ph.D.program by the departmental admissions committeeare eligible to take the General Examination for thePh.D. degree after fulfilling residence and courserequirements, including the foreign languagerequirements (or six to nine credits in a related area).The General Examination consists of two areaexaminations in areas chosen by the student with theadvice and consent of the advisory committee. Eacharea examination assesses substantive and theoreticalknowledge of the area, understanding of theimplications of this knowledge for general sociology,and methodological skills appropriate to the area.

EMERITUS FACULTY AND STAFF


APPENDIXACADEMIC INTEGRITY IN

GRADUATE EDUCATION ANDRESEARCH

The assurance of integrity in graduate educationand research is of paramount concern. Academicand scholarly activity at the graduate level takesmany forms at the University of Connecticut,including, but not limited to, classroom activity,laborator y or field experience, and artisticexpression. The Graduate School of the Universityof Connecticut upholds the highest ethicalstandards in its teaching, research, and ser vicemissions.

The Code of Conduct and the statement ofHearing and Appeal Procedures that follow pertainto matters involving graduate academic andscholarly misconduct. Responsibility for suchmisconduct requires intent but is not excused byignorance. Thus, it is important for students to beconversant with the tenets of this Code. Mattersof a disciplinary nature in which graduate studentsmay become involved are to be addressed bySection III of the University’s “Student ConductCode,” enforcement of which is within the pur viewof the Dean of Students.

The Dean of the Graduate School is chargedwith responsibility for coordinating the process bywhich an allegation of academic misconduct on thepart of a graduate student is reported, investigated,and adjudicated. The Graduate Faculty Council, inaccordance with the provisions of its By-Laws, isresponsible for the formulation of policies andprocedures per taining to any and all matters ofacademic integrity in graduate education andresearch and to proper handling of allegations ofviolations. Members of the Graduate Faculty haveprimary responsibility to promote and to sustainthroughout the University an environment in whichthe highest ethical standards of teaching,scholarship, research, and publication prevail. Allmembers of the University community have aresponsibility to uphold the highest standards ofteaching, scholarship, research, and publicationand to report any violation of academic integrity ofwhich they have knowledge.

A. FORMS OF ACADEMIC AND SCHOLARLY MISCONDUCTThere are many forms of academic and scholarlymisconduct. Categories of academic and scholarlymisconduct are identified below, and whereappropriate, illustrations are given. Thesecategories and illustrations are not intended to beexhaustive.

CHEATING could occur dur ing acourse (e.g., on a final examination), on

an examination required for a par ticu-lar degree (e.g., the doctoral GeneralExamination, the Final Examination forthe master’s or the doctoral degree, ora foreign language translation test), orat other times during graduate study.

PLAGIARISM involves tak ing thethoughts, words, or ideas of others andpassing them of f as one’s own.

MISREPRESENTATION could involve,for example, taking an examination foranother student; submitting for evalua-tion work done by another individual;submitting the same work for evaluationin two or more courses without priorapproval; unauthorized use of previ-ously completed scholarly work or re-search for a thesis, dissertation, or pub-lication; or making false, inaccurate, ormisleading claims or statements whenapplying for admission to the GraduateSchool or in any scholarly or researchactivity, including publication.

UNAUTHORIZED POSSESSION, USE,OR DESTRUCTION OF ACADEMICOR RESEARCH MATERIALS, which in-clude, for example, examinations, li-brar y materials, laboratory or researchsupplies or equipment, research data,notebooks, or computer files.

COMPUTER VIOLATIONS include butmay not be limited to unauthorized use,tampering, sabotage, or piracy of com-puter files or data and the like.

FABRICATION OR FALSIFICATION INRESEARCH could involve, for example,deliberate falsification of experimentalresults or tampering in any way withactual experimental results or researchdata.

RESEARCH VIOLATIONS involving, forexample, human subject violations (in-cluding ethical and social violations),animal care violations, inappropriatebreaches of confidentiality, deliberateobstruction of the research progress ofanother individual, or deliberate disre-gard for applicable University, local,State, or federal regulations.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST such as,for example, unauthorized use of Uni-versity or faculty academic or researchfacilities, materials, or resources forunapproved purposes; or allowing orattempting to use personal relationships(academic or other wise) between agraduate student and any member ofthe University community to influenceimproperly academic judgments, schol-arly evaluations, or decision making.

TAMPERING with any document orcomputer file per taining to academics

or research, including, for example, stu-dent academic records, of ficial tran-scripts, laborator y journals, examina-tion papers, and the like.

ANY ATTEMPT TO INFLUENCE IM-PROPERLY, for example, by means ofbriber y or threat, any member of thefaculty, the staf f, or the administrationof the University in any matter pertain-ing to academics or research.

AIDING OR ABETTING another indi-vidual in the planning or the commis-sion of any act of academic misconduct.

ANY IMPROPRIETY OR ACT OF MIS-CONDUCT COMMITTED BY AGRADUATE STUDENT IN A TEACH-ING ROLE in the University, such asrequesting or accepting a favor in ex-change for a grade or engaging in anyform of sexual harassment.

DELIBERATE OBSTRUCTION of an in-vestigation of any act of academic or re-search misconduct.

B. ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT WITHIN A PARTICULAR COURSEWhen an instructor believes there is suf ficientevidence to demonstrate a clear case of academicmisconduct within a particular course taught bythat instructor, the instr uctor shall notify thestudent in writing, and also orally if possible, thatunless the student requests a hearing to contestthe instructor’s belief, the instructor shall imposethe appropriate academic consequences warrantedby the circumstances. This should occur within 30days of discover y of the alleged academicm i s c o n d u c t . T h e a p p r o p r i a t e a c a d e m i cconsequence for serious of fenses is generallyconsidered to be failure in the course. For lessserious offenses regarding small por tions of thecourse work, failure for that portion is suggested,with the requirement that the student repeat thework satisfactorily for no credit.

The faculty member is responsible for savingthe evidence of academic misconduct in its originalform and need not return any of the papers or othermaterials to the student. Copies of the student’swork and information about other evidence will beprovided to the student upon request.

The student is given seven days from this firstwritten notice to respond. If the student confessesor does not respond to the written notice of theinstructor’s belief of academic misconduct andappropriate consequences within the course, theacademic consequences shall be imposed and arepor t submitted to the Dean of the instructor’sschool or college and to the Dean of the GraduateSchool.

If a student chooses to contest the instructor’sbelief of academic misconduct, the student mustmake a written request to the Office of the Deanof the Graduate School for a hearing to determinethe facts of the alleged misconduct.

215

C. ALLEGATIONS OF ACADEMIC MISCONDUCTThe following procedures apply in most instanceswhere academic misconduct is alleged. In somecases, misconduct may be alleged for students whoar e suppor ted through a federally fundedfellowship or training grant program or throughother federal grants (e.g., as a Research Assistant).In such instances, the procedures stipulated byagreements between the University and the federalgover nment will prevail, including use of theUniversity’s policy and procedures for review ofalleged unethical research practices. Theprocedures described in this document will applyto those allegations not subsumed by suchagreements. In addition, standards governing theprofessional conduct of students in particular fieldsmay be relevant in certain settings (e.g., clinical,counseling, therapeutic, etc.). Allegations ofprofessional misconduct based on such standardsmay be brought forward under this code.

Whenever an alleged violation of this code hasbeen filed with the Of fice of the Dean of theGraduate School, the accused is to be notified inwriting within ten working days. The writtenstatement filed with the Office of the Dean shoulddescribe fully the alleged misconduct and thecircumstances involved (i.e., the name of theindividual alleged to be responsible for themisconduct; date, time, place of the allegedmisconduct; name(s) of person(s) who might havebeen involved in or have knowledge of the allegedmisconduct; and any other pertinent information).The statement must bear the signature(s) of theindividual(s) submitting it, and it must be dated. Acopy of the statement will be sent to the accusedwithin ten working days of its filing. The Dean ofthe Graduate School will discuss the allegation ofacademic misconduct with the dean of the relevantschool or college. The Dean of the GraduateSchool will then make a determination regardingwhether the alleged violation should be resolvedat the Graduate School level in accordance withthe hearing and appeal procedures containedherein or whether the alleged violation should bereferred to the field of study, academic department,school or college in which the infraction is thoughtto have occurred. (Such a determination will alsobe made when an accused student, pursuant tosection B, requests a hearing.)

If the alleged violation is referred to the fieldof study, academic department, school or college,then it wil l be addressed and resolved inaccordance with the applicable hearing and appealprocedures followed by that particular unit. TheOf fice of the Dean of the Graduate School willnotify the accused in writing of this determination.In the event that the alleged violation is referredto the field of study, academic department, schoolor college, the Office of the Dean of the GraduateSchool should be notified of any outcome of thecase. In either event, the Dean of the school orcollege in which the alleged misconduct occurredis notified that a report of alleged misconduct hasbeen received.

If the alleged violation is to be resolved at theGraduate School level, the repor t of allegedmisconduct is referred to the Office of the Deanof the Graduate School, which confirms theallegation(s) and the existence of suppor tingevidence. The Office reviews the allegation(s) andthe evidence to determine specifically whichprovision(s) of this Code is/are alleged to havebeen violated. If the allegation(s) cannot besupported, or if there is insufficient evidence toproceed with an inquir y, the matter is dropped. Ifthe allegation(s) can be supported, and if sufficientevidence exists to warrant an inquiry, the Officeof the Dean of the Graduate School notifies theappropriate Associate Dean (either the AssociateDean of the Graduate School at Stor rs or theAssociate Dean of the Graduate School at the HealthCenter). The Of fice also notifies the accused byCertified Mail of the charge(s). A copy of this Codeis sent with the letter of notification to inform theaccused of his or her rights and of the hearing andappeals procedures to be followed. The Office alsonotifies the Dean of the school or college in whichthe alleged misconduct occurred of the charges.

D. GRADUATE HEARING COMMITTEE

The Graduate Hearing Committee is composed ofthree voting members (two members of thegraduate faculty and one graduate student). TheExecutive Committee of the Graduate FacultyCouncil selects them with advice from appropriateDeans. The appropriate Associate Dean of theGraduate School (Stor rs or Health Center)conducts the hearing as a non-voting member. Amember of the Hearing Committee cannot have adirect involvement in the case under consideration.The accused will be notified in writing of thecomposition of the hearing committee and will havethe right to object to the appointment of anycommittee member on the grounds that themember’s par ticipation would jeopardize theparty’s right to a fair hearing. The Associate Deanconducting the hearing will determine whether anyobjections have merit and will judge whether apanel member will be seated.

The proceeding, although formal, is not a courtproceeding and the Hearing Committee will not bebound by the procedures and rules of evidence ofa court of law. The Committee’s decision is to bemade by majority vote and is to be based on clearand convincing evidence submitted at the hearing,including evidence regarding intent.

The Associate Dean will conduct the hearing,ordinarily in private unless the accused student andaccuser agree to an open hearing, using thefollowing steps:

1. Identification of the accused student,the person bringing the allegation,any representative of the accused,and the hearing panel.

2. The accused student may make anopening statement.

3. The presentation of evidence by theperson alleging the misconduct. Evi-dence includes written statements,testimony of the person alleging themisconduct, oral testimony of wit-nesses, physical exhibits, and evi-dence of intent.

4. Questioning of witnesses and accuser,and rebuttal of evidence.

5. Presentation of evidence by the ac-cused student. Evidence includes writ-ten statements, testimony of the ac-cused student, oral testimony of wit-nesses, physical exhibits, and evi-dence of intent.

6. Questioning of the accused studentand witnesses, and rebuttal of evi-dence.

7. Recall of any hearing participants.

8. Summation statements by the personalleging the misconduct and by theaccused student.

During the hearing the accused student:

1. May decline to make statements. Re-fusal to answer questions shall not beinterpreted as evidence of guilt.

2. May decline to appear at the hear-ing. Refusal to appear shall not be in-terpreted as evidence of guilt. Thehearing panel will consider the evi-dence in the absence of the accusedstudent.

3. May be advised for consultation pur-p o s e s d u r i n g t h e h e a r i n g . T h estudent’s consultant may not addressthe hearing panel or others at thehearing unless permitted by the As-sociate Dean conducting the hearing.

The hearing panel’s decision is to be forwardedto the student, the person alleging the misconduct,the Dean of the school or college in which thealleged misconduct occurred, and to the Dean ofthe Graduate School within two weeks from thedate of the hearing.

If the student is found not to be responsible forgraduate academic misconduct, then no academicconsequence may be imposed and the case isconsidered of ficially closed, and all recordsassociated with the hearing are removed from thestudent’s permanent academic file.

In the event that the student is foundresponsible for graduate academic misconduct, thepanel may recommend to the Dean of the GraduateSchool academic and/or university sanctions. The

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY IN GRADUATE EDUCATION AND RESEARCH


Dean will examine the record of the hearing andwill weigh the severity of the recommendedsanction(s) against the seriousness of the student’smisconduct. The Dean then will meet with thestudent before making a final judgment aboutsanctions. The Dean may impose any academicsanctions and may recommend to the Dean ofStudents any university sanctions to be imposed.

Decisions of the Dean of the Graduate Schoolcan be appealed to the Provost for UniversityAf fairs by the student. An appeal is not a newhearing. It is a review of the record of the originalhearing. The accused student and a consultant ofhis or her choice have the right to review theaccused student’s file and other records of thehearing. An appeal may be sought on two grounds:

1. On a claim of error in the hearing pro-cedure. Appeals on such groundsmust be presented, specifically de-scribed, in writing within five days(excluding weekends and holidays) ofthe announcement of the decision.

2. On a claim of new evidence or infor-mation material to the case that wasnot available at the time of the hear-ing. Appeals on such grounds mustbe presented, specifically described,in writing within five days (excludingweekends and holidays) of the newevidence having been discovered.

The Provost for University Affairs shall havethe authority to dismiss an appeal not sought onproper grounds.

If an appeal is upheld, the Dean of the GraduateSchool shall refer the case with proceduralspecifications back to the hearing panel.

NOTE: A graduate student is defined as anyindividual who holds admission to the GraduateSchool to pursue either a graduate certificate or agraduate degree, as well as any other individualenrolled in a graduate-level course who is nots t r i c t l y an undergradua te degree or anundergraduate certificate student.
