ADMISSION

To study for a graduate degree, a student must beadmitted by the Dean of the Graduate School. Nocourse work taken before the date of admission tothe Graduate School may be included on a plan ofstudy for a graduate degree unless specificapproval has been granted by the Dean of theGraduate School.

Unless students complete appropriate coursework for credit in the semester or summer forwhich they have been admitted, or a written requestfor a limited postponement has been submitted toand approved by the Graduate School before theend of that semester or summer, the admissionbecomes invalid. If this occurs, the student mustapply for readmission with no certainty of beingaccepted.

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 thestudent to pursue work toward two degreessimultaneously. These programs often involve thesharing of a limited and specified number of coursecredits between the two degrees. The list of dualdegree programs offered by the Graduate Schooland the other participating schools and collegeswithin the University (e.g., the Schools of Law,Medicine, and Dental Medicine) can be found inthe index under “Dual Degree Programs.” In somecases, separate applications must be filed for eachof the two degree programs.

To be admitted to Regular status and to beginstudies, an applicant must hold a baccalaureate froman accredited college or university or presentevidence of the equivalent. The applicant mustsubmit to the Graduate School official transcriptscovering all previous work, undergraduate andgraduate, which must be of at least the followingquality: a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 forthe entire undergraduate record, or 3.0 for the lasttwo years, or excellent work in the entire final year.The grade point average is computed on the basisof the following 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. Failure to send transcriptsfrom all educational institutions, regardless ofwhether or not a degree was received, may begrounds for cancellation of admission.

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

Many departments or programs require orrecommend that test scores be submitted for theGraduate Record Examinations and/or the MillerAnalogies Test. Letters of recommendation, usuallythree, preferably from members of the academicprofession, are required by all departments.

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 is warranted,and only upon the specific request of the majoradvisor, the dean may approve changing a studentto Regular status if at least nine credits of advancedcourse work have been completed with superiorgrades. Regular, not Provisional, status is requiredfor 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 an overall band score of 6.5 on the IELTS(International Language Testing System) may beadmitted at the master’s level as Language-Conditional Students. Those admitted on F-1 visasmust be fully academically admissible as a Regularstudent (see above). Those admitted on J-1 studentvisas may be academically admissable as aProvisional 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 ofScience in Physical Therapy degree. While initialapplication is made to the UndergraduateAdmissions Of fice, successful completion of thebaccalaureate portion of the program is an absoluteprerequisite 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 offeredare Conducting and Performance (specificallycello, piano, trumpet, violin, viola, and voice). Apersonal audition is required as part of theapplication process. Inquiries should be addressedto: Director of Graduate Studies, Department ofMusic, 876 Coventr y Road, Unit 1012, Storrs,Connecticut 06269-1012.

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.

Visiting Students. Individuals who otherwisewould qualify for admission with Regular status butwho do not seek a degree from this University maybe permitted to take courses for an unspecifiedtime if their work here meets Graduate Schoolstandards. Special students may be working towardan advanced degree at another institution, in whichcase they are presumed to be fully qualified topursue degree work at this University. Others maywish to take courses as Special students forpersonal 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, i f required). Detai ledinformation concerning admissions criteria andprocedures can be obtained from the coordinatorof the specific graduate certificate program orfrom the Graduate Admissions Office.

Other Non-Degree Categories. Individualswith appropriate preparation who have not beenadmitted to any of the admissions categoriesdescribed above may take courses as non-degree

ADMISSION


.students. All non-degree students are presumedto be taking courses for reasons other than earninga certificate, 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. For further information, contact the Collegeof Continuing Studies, One Bishop Circle, Unit 4056,Storrs, Connecticut 06269-4056.

Admission of University Faculty andStaff. 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 substantiallyequal basis to all students those programs notcommonly of fered at ever y institution. Thispractice tends to reduce duplication of courses andthus to utilize most ef ficiently the highereducational facilities in each 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 ever yapplication submitted except for a doctoral degreeprogram to follow immediately a master’s degreeprogram in the same field at this University, or forre-application requested 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 of

application deadlines, prospective students areencouraged to submit their applications foradmission as early as possible. Applicants shouldcheck with appropriate academic departmentsconcerning 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 presentdocumentary 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), or an overall band score of 6.5on the IELTS (International Language Testing Sys-tem). Some departments require the Test of Spo-ken English (TSE) or the Test of Written English(TWE). All graduate students who will be servingas teaching assistants will be required to presentevidence of competence in spoken English. Thismay take the form of a score of 50 or higher on theTest of Spoken English if the student’s native lan-guage is not English and if the student does nothold a degree from an anglophone college or uni-versity.

ADVISORYSYSTEM

Degree programs are planned by the advisor ycommittee after consultation with the student. Thereis considerable flexibility in meeting special needsinsofar as these are consistent with the regulationsof the Graduate School. A degree program mayentail course work in more than one field of study,but each program must include a coherentemphasis within one existing field of study and areaof 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 majoradvisor. If at the time of admission an applicantexpresses no preference, or if the preferred advisoris unable to accept, another may be appointed. Sinceconsistency of direction is important, a durablerelationship between the student and advisor shouldbe formed as early as possible. Occasionally, it may bedesirable or appropriate for a student’s degreeprogram to be directed by co-major advisors (notmore than two). Each co-major advisor must hold anappropriate appointment to the graduate faculty in thestudent’s field of study and area of concentration (ifapplicable).

I f a change of major advisor becomesnecessary for any reason, the student must file aspecial form, bearing the signatures of the formeradvisor and the new advisor, with the GraduateSchool. The signature of the former major advisoris requested for informational purposes only. Itdoes not, in any way, signify permission or consenton the part of the 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 theletter of termination.

The advisory committee of a master’s degreeprogram student is formed after consultationbetween the major advisor and the student and mustinclude at least two associate advisors, at least oneof whom must hold a current appointment to thegraduate faculty of the University of Connecticut.An associate advisor must possess suitableacademic or scientific credentials in the field ofstudy of the degree. The advisor y committee

should be formed before the student has completedtwelve credits of degree program course work andshall then supervise the remainder of the student’sdegree program.

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 majoradvisor and at least one associate advisor shall bemembers of the graduate faculty appointed toadvise doctoral students in the student’s field ofstudy and area of concentration, if applicable. Inaddition to the three or more members chosen inthe usual way, another member, ordinarily amember of the graduate faculty outside thestudent’s field of study but in a related field, maybe appointed by the Dean of the Graduate School.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 activeser vice may be considered for appointment asMajor Advisor for a newly-admitted master’s ordoctoral student. Application is made to theExecutive Committee of the Graduate FacultyCouncil and requires submission of a curriculumvita and letters of suppor t as well as theendorsement of the appropriate department orprogram head. The retired faculty member mustpresent substantial evidence of ongoing researchand scholarly activity in the field. Separateapplication is required for each newly-admittedstudent for whom a retired faculty member wishesto serve as Major Advisor. Such appointments aremade by the Dean with the advice of the ExecutiveCommittee.

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 thata suitably qualified external associate advisor beappointed to the student’s advisory committee bywriting to the Graduate School. The request shouldbe accompanied by a curriculum 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 advisory committee. The major

advisor and at least one associate advisor on anydoctoral student’s advisor y committee must bemembers of the University of ConnecticutGraduate Faculty.

The major adv isor i s respons ib le forcoordinating the supervisory work of the advisorycommittee. Therefore, when the major advisor isto 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.

ADVISORY SYSTEM


FEES ANDEXPENSES

The schedule of fees contained in this section isexpected to prevail during the 2005-2006 academicyear, but the Board of Trustees and the Board ofGovernors for Higher Education reserve the right,at any time, to authorize changes in fees and toestablish new fees applicable to all currentlyenrolled 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-Januar y for the spring semester). These bills,covering the semester’s charges payable inadvance, must be paid by the tenth day of thesemester (see “Graduate School Calendar”). Failureto make payment on time will result in cancellationof registration and any residence hall assignment.A graduate student may apply for a limiteddeferment of the payment date for a semester feebill at the Deferment Of fice in the Wilbur CrossBuilding. Partial payment of fees is not acceptedby the Bursar. A receipt for payment or evidenceof an approved deferment is necessary to completeregistration.

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, infirmar 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 tenthday of a given semester or by the expiration dateof an approved deferment, cancellation of thestudent’s registration and student privileges willresult.

Application Processing FeeA non-refundable fee of $55 for electronicsubmission or $75 for paper submission mustaccompany an application to the Graduate School.It may not be applied toward other charges. Thisfee must accompany every application submittedexcept for a doctoral degree program to followimmediately on a completed master’s degreeprogram in the same field at this University, or forre-application requested 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 studentbelieves that he or she has been incorrectlyclassified, a request for a review, along withsuppor ting documentar y evidence, should bedirected to the Graduate School.

Residents of other New England states enrolledin cer tain graduate degree programs may beeligible for special tuition rates through the NewEngland Board of Higher Education RegionalStudent Program. (See “New England RegionalStudent Program.”)

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 $3,762 per semester ifregistering for nine or more credits. Studentseligible for the New England Regional StudentProgram pay tuition of $5,661 per semester at thenine or more credit level. Students who areclassified as out-of-State students pay tuition of$9,792 per semester 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. I f anassistantship begins or terminates during thecourse of a semester, tuition will be prorated on aweekly schedule – charged for that portion of thesemester when the assistantship is not in force, andwaived when it is in force. This can result in eithera par tial tuition assessment (if the student isregistered throughout the semester for tuition-bearing course work) or a partial refund (if tuitionhas been paid).

Additionally, tuition (but not the associatedfees) is waived for certain groups of individuals.One of these groups includes any dependent childof a person whom the U.S. armed forces hasdeclared either to be missing in action or to havebeen a prisoner of war while serving in the armedforces after January 1, 1960, provided that personwas a resident of Connecticut at the time ofentering the ser vice of the armed forces of theUnited States or was a resident of Connecticut whileso serving.

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 Januar y 31, 1990), the peace-keeping missionin Lebanon (from September 29, 1982 to March30, 1984), or Operation Earnest Will (escort ofKuwaiti oil tankers) (from February 1, 1987 to July23, 1987), and is a resident of Connecticut at thetime of acceptance for admission or readmission tothe University.

ASSISTANTSHIPS,FELLOWSHIPS,

AND OTHERAID

The University of Connecticut has agreed to abide bythe following resolution of the Council of GraduateSchools:

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 conditionsaffecting such of fers and their acceptancemust be defined carefully and understood byall parties.

Students are under no obligation torespond to of fers 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 of fer.It is fur ther agreed by the institutions andorganizations subscribing to the aboveResolution that a copy of this Resolutionshould accompany ever y scholarship,fellowship, traineeship, and assistantshipoffer.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 issubject to terms of the funding source and to ap-proval by 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 or

withdrawal from the University terminates thefellowship.

The general University fee and the graduatematriculation fee as well as the Connecticutresident tuition fee or the nonresident tuition feemust be paid by holders of University PredoctoralFellowships, 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 orresearch), University Predoctoral Fellowships,Dissertation Fellowships, and Summer Fellowships.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 GraduateSchool should apply as early as possible and notlater than the deadline imposed by the appropriateacademic depar tment. (See the GraduateApplication form for merit aid deadlines.)

General Need-Based FinancialAid Infor mationUnited States citizens or permanent residents ofthe United States may apply for need-basedfinancial aid, which includes Federal Stafford Loans(FSL), Federal Work-Study (FWS), and Universityof Connecticut tuition remission grants, bycompleting the Free Application for FederalStudent Aid (FAFSA) or Renewal FAFSA. WithInternet access, you can file a FAFSA on the Web(or a Renewal FAFSA, if you still reside at yourprevious year’s address) at <www.fafsa.ed.gov>.

For more information, you can access thestudent f inancia l a id web s i te a t <www.financialaid.uconn.edu>.

Need-Based Financial Aid Dead-l inesDeadlines are March 1 each year for continuinggraduate students and May 1 for entering Univer-sity of Connecticut graduate students.

The FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA must be received andlogged in at the federal processing center on orbefore the published deadline dates. List theUniversity of Connecticut Federal School Code,001417, on the FAFSA, Step 6. Use 233 GlenbrookRoad, Storrs, CT as the college address. Do notwait for final income figures. Use the previousyear’s estimated income figures, if necessary, tomeet the on-time application deadline.

On-time status will not be determined bypostmark dates or postage receipts. Priority for

the awarding of Federal Work-Study as well asUniversity of Connecticut Tuition Remission Grantfunds will be considered for applicants who complywith the above deadlines. Applications receivedafter the deadline will be considered for FederalStafford Loan eligibility only.

[Note: International students are not eligibleto receive need-based financial aid.]

An award notification is e-mailed to eachstudent after all required documents have beenreceived. It indicates the types and amounts of aidoffered. Students must either accept or declineeach award of fer and return the reply copy tothe Of fice of Student Financial Aid Ser vices.Finalized financial aid awards (loans, grants, work-study) are based on the student’s registrationstatus (number of credits) as of the tenth day ofclasses in each semester.

All need-based financial aid recipients andUniversity funded and merit scholarship recipientsmust meet Satisfactor y Academic Progress(SAP) requirements, which are based on federalregulat ions. 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 available fromthe Office of Student Financial Aid Ser vices.

The following list of assistantships, fellowships,and other forms of aid includes only the majorsources of support available to students at thisUniversity. Other sources may be availableupon fur ther inquir y.

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. Tobe 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 eligibleto register (i.e., must not have more than threeviable grades of Incomplete on his or her academicrecord), must be enrolled in a graduate degreeprogram scheduled to extend through the entireperiod of the appointment or reappointment, andmust be a full-time student, counting course workand/or its equivalent together with assistantshipduties (see “Course Loads”), throughout theperiod.

The holder of a full assistantship devotes one-half of available time to studies and one-half(approx imate ly 20 hours per week) to

1 3

.assistantship duties, while the holder of a halfassistantship ordinarily devotes three-quarters ofavailable t ime to studies and one-quar ter(approx imate ly 10 hours per week) toassistantship duties. Assistantships are not availablefor 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 Deanof 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 2005-2006academic year are as follows:

I. $17,737 for graduate assistants with at leastthe baccalaureate.

II. $18,667 for experienced graduate assis-tants in a doctoral program with at least themaster’s degree or its equivalent in the fieldof graduate study. Equivalency consists oftwenty-four credits of appropriate coursework beyond the baccalaureate, togetherwith admission to a doctoral program.

III. $20,748 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) iswaived for Graduate Assistants. (See “Tuition,” forpossible proration.) If an assistantship begins orterminates during the course of a semester, tuitionwill be prorated on a weekly schedule – chargedfor that por tion of the semester when theassistantship is not in force, waived when it is inforce. This often results in an adjustment of thetuition charges, including partial assessment (if thestudent is registered throughout the semester forcourse work for which tuition is charged) or apartial refund (if tuition has been paid).

A graduate assistant is eligible for healthinsurance. Graduate assistants should be aware thatit is necessar y 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. Thereare, however, no additional benefits or waiver oftuition in the summer months.

When students become eligible for the Level IIor Level III stipend rate, it is the responsibility oftheir depar tment to request such an increasepromptly, by filing a new employment authorizationef fective the first day of the biweekly payrollperiod following the date on which the student

completes master’s degree requirements (or satisfiesmaster’s degree equivalency) or the date on whichthe student passes the doctoral General Examinationin its entirety. Students are responsible forascertaining that any required documentation —such as a repor t of a master’s final or doctoralgeneral examination, a transcript, or a report of apertinent Incomplete grade made up – is promptlyfiled with the Graduate School and that their currentstipend conforms with their eligibility.

Tuition Assistance Program forOut-of-State Master’s DegreeStudentsThis 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 permitthe selected students, in ef fect, to pay tuition atthe in-state rate. The selection criteria for thesegrants include: full-time matriculation in a master’sdegree program that ordinarily does not lead tothe doctorate, absence of graduate assistantshipsupport (which carries with it a tuition waiver), out-of-state residency status, evidence of academicexcellence (based on grade point averages, testscores, etc.), and U.S. citizen or permanentresident status. Each student chosen forpar ticipation in this program is eligible for amaximum of four semesters of suppor t. Thisprogram is administered by the Graduate School.Students are nominated by faculty members interminal-track master’s degree programs.

University Predoctoral Fel low-shipsThese are awarded by the Graduate School on therecommendation of the graduate faculty in thedegree program concerned. Students who intendto earn the D.M.A. or Ph.D. and who havedemonstrated capability for completing a doctoralprogram may apply to their academic departmentsfor such fellowships at any stage of their graduatecareer. Award amounts range from small amountsto full fellowships and/or tuition equivalency.Fellowship awards do not include the requirementof teaching, research, or any other service dutiesand are not considered to be employment.Predoctoral Fellows must be Regular (notProvisional), full-time students, regardless of theamount of the fellowship. Recipients must presentevidence of such registration and payment ordeferment of appropriate fees upon receipt offellowship checks. The Dean of the GraduateSchool may cancel or reduce an individual award ifthe student fails to maintain satisfactory academicand financial standing.

Doctoral Disser tation FellowshipsFunding may be available during the academic yearto support the Doctoral Dissertation Fellowshipprogram, which is designed to assist advancedPh.D. students to complete their dissertations.Minimum eligibility requirements include having

passed the doctoral general examination, having afully approved dissertation proposal on file withthe Graduate School, and not exceeding certainannual income limits. The amount of the fellowshipis $2,000, and the fellowships are “one-time only”awards. Awards are made via announcedcompetitions having specific application deadlines.The number of fellowships and the frequency ofcompetitions are limited and contingent upon theavailability of funding. Inquiries may be directedto Thomas Peters, Program Director, Unit 1006,Whetten Graduate Center, room 208, Stor rs,Connecticut 06269-1006; telephone (860) 486-0977; e-mail <[email protected]>.

Informationis available from department and program heads inMarch of each year.

Par t-time EmploymentFederal Work-Study (FWS) is a federally fundedfinancial aid work program for students with ademonstrated financial need, as determined byinformation submitted on the FAFSA. Unlike otherforms of aid, a Federal Work-Study award is notapplied to a student’s fee bill. Students receive bi-weekly paychecks for hours worked.

The Student Labor Program is a workprogram open to all University of Connecticutstudents and designed to supplement regular staffwith students seeking part-time employment.

The Office of Student Financial Aid Servicesadvertises available positions on their website:<www.studentjobs.uconn.edu>. Students areprompted to select the categor y their jobchoice(s) and are provided with a l ist ofsuper visors seeking candidates for those jobs.Students then arrange interviews with prospectiveemployers to discuss the details of the job.

Federal Loan ProgramsFederal Staf ford Loans (FSLs) are of fered tostudents attending the University at least half-time. Subsidized FSLs are based on financial need;the interest on these loans is subsidized by thefederal government. If a student does not qualifyfor a subsidized FSL, he or she may borrow an

ASSISTANTSHIPS, FELLOWSHIPS, AND OTHER AID


unsubsidized FSL. The student is responsible forthe interest which accrues on the loan, and has theoption to either pay the interest while in school ordefer payment of the interest until repaymentbegins, six months following graduation.

REGISTRATION

Applicants admitted on the basis of an expectedbaccalaureate or graduate degree must havecompleted all requirements for that degree priorto the start of classes. University of Connecticutseniors must have completed the baccalaureateprior to the start of classes. Otherwise they mustcontinue to register as undergraduates, eventhough admitted to the Graduate School andregistering for graduate courses.

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 instructions 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 of fered by the Master ofBusiness Administration programs conducted atcenters other than Storrs will be found in brochurespublished by those programs. All degree-seekingstudents must register for courses using one ofthe available methods of registration, and pay allfees at the Of fice of the University Bursar. Allcourse charges (applicable tuition and fees) aredue and payable by the close of business on thetenth day of the semester. Late fees and thereinstatement fee are assessed after that time.Part-time students who are not degree-seekingstudents must register through the Of fice ofCredit Programs in the College of ContinuingStudies.

Both new and continuing students should makeappointments with their major advisors todetermine the courses in which they plan to enroll.Instr uctions for registration are sent to allstudents by mail. Entering students receive it withtheir admission information, while continuingstudents receive it about a month prior to theregistration period. The material is mailed to thestudent’s last known address on file in theGraduate School. If a student fails to receive thismaterial, replacement copies may be obtained

either from the Graduate School website(www.grad.uconn.edu/registration.html) orthrough the Graduate Records Office, Unit 1006,S t o r r s , C o n n e c t i c u t 0 6 2 6 9 - 1 0 0 6 . E a r l yregistration will avoid confusion and increase thelikelihood of obtaining the desired course(s).Ordinarily, there are two advance registrationperiods for the fall semester, one beginning inearly April and the other beginning in mid-August.Similar periods for spring occur in late Octoberand early January. The exact dates are containedin the registration mailing. Depending upon courseselections, most students should be able to registerentirely over the World Wide Web. Problemsencountered during registration (includingenrollment in restricted courses) may be broughtto the Graduate School in the Whetten GraduateCenter. In all cases, registration is not completeuntil all tuition and fees are paid at the Of fice ofthe University Bursar or a limited deferment ofpayment is obtained from the Deferment Office.In any event, both final registration for coursesand final payment of fees (or issuance of adeferment) must be completed on or before thetenth business day of the semester. Failure tocomplete timely registration and payment of feeswill subject the student in addition to theimposition of the Late Registration/Payment Feeand the Reinstatement Fee, as appropriate.

Continuous RegistrationMaster’s, doctoral, sixth year in education, andgraduate cer tificate students must begin theirprograms with course work and must maintainregistrat ion cont inuously each semesterthereafter (except summer sessions) until allrequ i rements for the degree have beencompleted. Registration may be maintained eitherby taking course work for credit or by registeringfor one of the four non-credit ContinuingRegistration courses. These include SpecialReadings at the master’s (GRAD 398) or doctoral(GRAD 498) level, Master’s Thesis Preparation(GRAD 399) , and Doctora l Disser ta t ionPreparation (GRAD 499). Other zero-creditcourses 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 semesterr e s u l t s i n t h e s t u d e n t ’ s i n a c t i v a t i o n .Reinstatement is possible only after payment ofall fees in arrears and the reinstatement fee. (See“Reinstatement Fee.”) The consequencesassociated with matriculation via ContinuingRegistration rather than credit courses areaddressed 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, must

register 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 course work;(2) enroll in 6 or more credits of course work whileholding a graduate assistantship (50% or greater);or (3) enroll in one of the four special purpose 3-credit courses. These courses include GRAD 396(Full-time Master’s Research), GRAD 496 (Full-time Doctoral Research), GRAD 397 (Master’sLevel Directed Studies), and GRAD 497 (DoctoralLevel Directed Studies). The former two coursesmay be taken by students who have completed allrequirements for the respective degree except theresearch component and who have no otherobligations at the University (i.e., no other coursework and no graduate assistantship). The latter twocourses denote a full-time of f-campus directedproject, such as an internship, field work, or otherspecial activity. Students in GRAD 397 or GRAD 497may hold graduate assistantships if thoseassistantships are in direct support of their 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 8credits/semester. A credit load of fewer than 5credits/semester is a par t-time load. Thesecriteria apply to all registered students at theUniversity. The currently defined ContinuingRegistration courses (GRAD 398, 399, 498, and499) are zero-credit “placeholder” coursesdenoting part-time study and do not count towardthe credit load requirement for half-time or full-time enrollment status. Degree-seeking students

2 5REGISTRATION

who do not need to be certified by the Universityas holding at least half-time enrollment status mayuse these courses to maintain registration on apart-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 fered by eachdepartment, a student’s credit load may includeGRAD 395 (Thesis Research), GRAD 495(Dissertation 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 staf for 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, staf f 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 classroom orlaboratory facilities; and (4) in the case of studentsin degree programs, they obtain consent from theirmajor advisors. All permissions and registrationsfor auditing courses must be filed in the Office ofthe University Registrar. Courses audited areentered on the student’s permanent record, butsuch courses cannot be used toward fulfillingrequirements for a graduate degree at the University.

The privileges of an auditor in a course arelimited specifically to attending and listening.Auditors must attend class regularly. The auditorassumes 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.

Students should not “sit-in” on classes for whichthey do not register as auditors.

Adding a CourseAfter the beginning of a semester or summersession, a student may not add a course if theinstructor feels that elapsed time might precludeits 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 aninstructor 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 officially. Until this has been done, thestudent is obligated to complete all work. No gradeis recorded for courses of ficially dropped, but amark of W is recorded to signify withdrawal from acourse after the tenth day of the semester or afterthe 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 semesteror prior 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 mustnotify that office in writing. Students in part-timeM.B.A. programs conducted at locations other thanStorrs must notify the director of the program inwriting. Students in Social Work must followprocedures in force at the School of Social Work.

After the first nine weeks of a semesteror the midpoint of a summer-session course,students ordinarily are not allowed to drop a courseor to change from participant to auditor. If, however,a student must drop a course because of illness orother compelling reason beyond the student’scontrol, the student must request specialpermission as early as possible and well before thelast day of classes. Permission to drop a course orto change from participant to auditor is grantedonly for good cause. All students – except those inthe Sixth-Year Program, par t-t ime M.B.A.programs conducted at locations other than Storrs,or the Social Work program – whether enrolled indaytime or evening classes, at Storrs or elsewhere,must obtain permission from the Graduate School.Permission is granted only on the major advisor’swritten recommendation, which must be convincingand sufficiently specific regarding reasons beyondthe control of the student. The recommendationshould be accompanied by properly completed andsigned schedule revision request card for thecourse(s) to be dropped. Students in the Sixth-YearProgram must obtain permission from theAssociate Dean of the School of Education.Students in part-time M.B.A. programs conductedat locations other than Storrs must obtain

permission from the director of the program.Students in Social Work must follow procedures inforce at the School of Social Work. Under nocircumstances is a student at any location or in anyprogram permitted to drop a course after thecourse 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 from theGraduate 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 al l courses, anappropriate zero-credit Continuing Registrationcourse must be added to his or her enrollmentrecord. The determination of active status is subjectto the provisions contained in the “ContinuousRegistration” 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 ANDDEGREE

REQUIREMENTS

These represent general academic standards andrequirements of the Graduate School as they applyto graduate students in degree programs. Someprograms have special regulations more detailedor stringent. Students should acquaint themselveswith their own program’s requirements as setfor th in this Catalog and subsequent ones, asappropriate. Undergraduate and non-degreestudents taking a graduate course should consultthe appropriate bulletin for regulations which applyto 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 per formance 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 advisory committee.

The grade of F or U signifies failure in thecourse and necessitates a recommendation by theadvisory 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(Unsatisfactory) 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 identified

in this bulletin by the symbol † preceding thecourse number. This type of grading is designedfor courses or sections of courses in which studentper formance 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 satisfactory 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 satisfactory 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 instructor 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.

Beginning with the Fall 2004 semester, thesymbol I or X is replaced by the final course gradeon the permanent academic record when thestudent completes all required work for the courseand the instructor reports the final grade to theRegistrar. Prior to the Fall 2004 semester, thesymbols I and X appear together with final coursegrades on students’ permanent academic records.

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, for

which 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 cumulativegrade point average of 3.00 or higher in all completed200’s, 300’s, and 400’s level courses. An official tran-script of an individual’s graduate academic career,however, includes grade point average calculationsbased on all course work completed during thestudent’s graduate career (including any 100’s levelcourses). Credits completed elsewhere and ac-cepted in transfer by the Graduate School do notaf fect the student’s University of Connecticutgrade point average in any way.

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 shorter 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 requirements

2 7STANDARDS AND DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

must 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.

In the event that a student’s major advisordetermines that resignation from the advisor ycommittee is necessar y, 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.

A graduate student and his or her major advisorshould always be cognizant of the student’sterminal date or terminal date extension, the dateby which the Graduate School expects that alldegree requirements will have been completed.The student and the major advisor are notified ofthe student’s terminal date when the GraduateSchool sends approved copies of the student’s planof study. Any written recommendation to extendthe terminal date must be submitted in a timelymanner by the major advisor to the GraduateSchool. In the event that the major advisordetermines that he or she cannot suppor t arecommendation to extend an expiring terminaldate or terminal date extension fur ther, theGraduate School must be notified by the majoradvisor in wri t ing at the earliest possibleopportunity. Limited extensions of the terminaldate are granted by the Graduate School onlyon the basis of substantial evidence that thestudent is making consistent and satisfactor yprogress toward the completion of degreerequirements. In the absence of a t imelyrecommendation to extend an expired terminaldate, or in the event that a recommendedextension has been denied by the GraduateSchool, the student’s graduate degree programstatus is terminated.

Whenever a student’s graduate degreeprogram status is terminated, a letter is sent to thestudent by the Associate Dean. If the studentwishes to request a hearing, the provisions outlinedunder “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 ycommittee must submit its written recommendationthat the student be dismissed on such grounds tothe Dean of the Graduate School . A student may besubject to academic dismissal if he or she: (1) failsto maintain the minimum cumulative grade pointaverage required by the Graduate School (3.00);(2) receives a grade of D+, D, D-, F, or U in any

course; (3) fails to satisfy a foreign languagerequirement for a degree; (4) fails the D.M.A. orPh.D. general examination; (5) fails to produce anacceptable D.M.A. document or Ph.D. dissertationproposal; (6) per forms unsatisfactorily in anyaspect of the research or writing for a master’sthesis or doctoral dissertation; (7) fails the finalexamination for the master’s or doctoral degree; or(8) fails to satisfy any other academic requirementof the student’s graduate degree program. Thespecif ic judgment on which the advisor ycommittee’s recommendation is based must bestated. The recommendation must bear thesignature of each member of the advisor ycommittee. For a student whose advisor ycommittee has not yet been established, the majoradvisor alone submits the recommendation. If thestudent is to be dismissed on any of the abovegrounds, a letter of dismissal is issued by theAssociate Dean. If the student wishes to request ahearing, the provisions outlined below under“Hearing and Appeal 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 further 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 certificate 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 a

student’s application for admission to a graduatedegree program, the certificate 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 creditsmust comprise the certificate program. Thenumber of graduate (300- or 400-level) credits maynot be fewer than nine nor more than one-half ofthe credits necessary for a related Master’s degreefrom the Graduate School. Ordinarily, the creditrequirement ranges from 12 to 15 graduatesemester credits. When there exists no relatedMaster’s program, the number of credits requiredfor a graduate certificate 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 studentlibrar y access and campus parking privileges,among others. They also may be considered formerit-based financial aid by the department orprogram, as well as for need-based financial aid bythe Student Financial Aid Office, but at a reducedpriority compared to degree-seeking students.

Currently, these Graduate Certificate programs areoffered:

• Geographic Information Systems• Global Governance Studies• International Studies• Music Performance• Nonprofit Management• Nursing – Acute Care• Nursing – Primar y Care• Public Financial Management• Quantitative Research Methods• Women’s Studies.

MASTER’S DEGREEPROGRAMS

Master’s degree programs are of fered inapproximately 70 fields of study in the GraduateSchool. The Master of Ar ts degree usually isawarded to properly qualified candidates in thehumanities, the social sciences, education, and allnon-scienti f ic f ie lds except ar t , businessadministration, public affairs, and social work. TheMaster of Science degree is awarded to candidatesin the na tura l , phys ica l , ma themat i ca l ,pharmaceutical, nutritional, and agriculturalsciences, as well as Accounting, Nursing; andEngineering. Other Master’s degrees awarded arethe Master of Business Administration, the Master


of Dental Science, the Master of Engineering, theMaster of Fine Ar ts, the Master of Music, theMaster of Professional Studies, the Master of PublicAdministration, the Master of Public Health, and theMaster of Social Work. A master’s degree programrepresents the equivalent of at least one year of full-time study beyond the baccalaureate (or itsequivalent).

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 fulfilled. Those students who are committedto doctoral study generally need less time tocomplete a Master’s degree than those for whomthe master ’s program prov ides 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 Har tford andStamford campuses and on a full-time basis at theStorrs campus. The Master of Dental Scienceprogram and the Master of Public Health programare of fered primarily at the Health Center inFarmington. The Master of Social Work programis of fered at the West Hartford campus. Certaincourses 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 coursework with reasonable regularity and to completeall requirements for the degree within a moderatespan of time to assure continuity and adequatefamiliarity with developments in the field of study.(See “Continuous Registration.”) Ordinarily, theMaster’s degree should be completed within twoyears or so. In any event, all work for the Master’sdegree must be completed within a maximumperiod of six years from the beginning of theearliest course, wherever taken, listed on theapproved plan of study. Failure to complete thework within this period or failure to maintaincontinuous registration (see “ContinuousRegistration”) will require re-evaluation of thestudent’s entire program and may result intermination.

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 degree

requirements. A written recommendation to extendthe terminal date must bear the signature of thestudent’s major advisor , and it must be submittedin a t imely manner to the Graduate School.Approval is granted by the Dean. Each subsequentrequest to extend a student’s terminal date requiresgreater justification and more extraordinar ycircumstances. Third requests for extension arerarely, 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, not fewer than nineadditional credits of Master’s Thesis Research(GRAD 395 or GRAD 396), as well as the writing ofa thesis. Plan B requires not fewer than twenty-fourcredits of advanced course work, a f inalexamination, but no thesis. In either case, advisorycommittees may require more than the minimumnumber 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 havenot been applied toward any other degree, here orelsewhere (already completed or to be completed inthe future). In any event, inclusion of non-degreecourse work on the plan of study requires theconsent of the advisory committee and is subjectto the 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 any coursesto be transferred must be B (not B-) or higher.Of ficial transcripts of any course work to betransferred must be on file in the Graduate School.When the student’s plan of study has gained theapproval of the Executive Committee and officialtranscripts indicating satisfactory completion of thecourse work to be transferred are received, thetransfer 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 orto be 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 for thisdegree if they have on file a fully approved doctoralplan 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 degree ifthey 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 different fields of study. Thesame course may not be offered 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, andsubmitted 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 requirethat the student take an exploratory examinationto guide 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, theadvisory 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 be


submitted to the Graduate School on the official formbearing the signatures of the advisory committeeand the student for approval by the ExecutiveCommittee. Successful completion of all workindicated 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 advisor y committee must approve the topicand scope of the thesis required under Plan A andupon its completion, ascertain that it representsan independent investigation of a significant topicand is an impor tant contribution to ongoingresearch in the candidate’s field. The thesis mustbe acceptable in literary style and organization. Thethesis is regarded as an important par t of thestudent’s program. Specifications for preparationof the thesis can be obtained at the Graduate Schoolor from the Graduate School’s website. It is thestudent’s responsibility to be certain that the thesisconforms exactly to the specifications prescribedby the Graduate 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 thesismust be deposited in the Graduate School by theconferral period deadline in August , December, orMay. Each copy must contain an approval pagebearing original signatures of all members of theadvisory committee. At least 25% cotton-contentbond paper of at least 20-pound weight must beused for both copies. Only one side of the paper isto be used for printing. After binding, both copiesbecome the property of the Homer BabbidgeLibrar y, and the identical second copy is madeavailable for faculty and student use. If the thesis islengthy, the Babbidge Library may require that itbe bound as more than one volume. If a programrequires one or more extra copies, it is thestudent’s responsibility to supply them directly tothe 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 whether theexamination shall be written, oral, or both. Invitationto participate in an oral examination is issued bythe advisor y committee, although any and allmembers of the faculty may at tend. The

examination 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 OFMUSICAL AR TS 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 theopportunity to become creative contributors inmusical performance and scholarship. Award of thedegree testifies to broad master y of the ar t ofmusic, an ability to practice that ar t on anexceptionally high level, and acquisition ofappropriate research skills.

While certain minimum requirements are setby the Graduate School and the Music Department,it is important 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 ar tistry in a publicfor um, and has developed independence ofjudgment and mature scholarship.

Time LimitsThe equivalent of at least two years of full-time studybeyond the Master’s degree is required. All workmust 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 the

approved doctoral plan of study. The generalexamination shall be passed within four years of thebeginning of doctoral study. Failure to complete thework 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 to extendthe terminal date must bear the signature of thestudent’s major advisor , and it must be submittedin a t imely manner to the Graduate School.Approval is granted by the Dean. Each subsequentrequest to extend a student’s terminal date requiresgreater justification and more extraordinar ycircumstances. Third requests for extension arerarely, 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 inresidence. 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 for t 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 GraduateFaculty Council. The student may not take thegeneral examination before the plan of study hasbeen fully approved. Failure to present the plan ontime may prolong the period of study for thedegree. Before formulating and signing the plan,the major advisor should have transcripts of all ofthe student’s undergraduate and graduate work onfile and should consult them for guidance. Theadvisory committee may require that the student


take an explorator y examination to guide thecommittee in formulating the plan of study.

A limited number of credits at the 200’s level(not more than six), if not open to sophomores, maybe accepted. The degree ordinarily requires at least43 credits, depending on the area of concentration.The plan will designate any foreign language(s) inwhich the student is to be tested. Course credit byexamination is not allowed as a means ofaccumulating credits to meet the requirements foradvanced degrees at this institution. For studentsentering in Fall 1998 or later, at least fifteen creditsof GRAD 495 must appear on the plan of study. Thisef for t represents the research for the D.M.A.Dissertation, which is an essential component of thestudent’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 grades earnedin such course work are B (not B-) or higher, (2)such course work is within the seven year limit forcompletion of D.M.A. degree requirements, and (3)such credits have not been applied toward any otherdegree here or elsewhere (already completed or tobe completed in the future). In any event, inclusionof non-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 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.


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 acceptable

graduate 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 Per formanceThe advisory committee shall evaluate continuallythe student’s performance. Any graduate studentwhose scholastic performance does not meet theminimum requirements of the Graduate School maybe 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 ycommittee. Any student who does not demonstratean appropriate level of performance in this recitalis subject to dismissal.

General ExaminationThe general examination shall be taken near the endof 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 advisory 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 is wellunder way, the student must file a proposaldescribing the intended research with the Graduate

Studies Committee of the Music Depar tment.Failure to file the proposal early may result in wastedeffort on a document if changes are required in theproject. The proposal must be approved by theGraduate Studies Committee in Music at least fourmonths before the filing of the D.M.A. Dissertationand it must be approved by the ExecutiveCommittee of the Graduate Faculty Council at leastthree months before the filing of the 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 MusicalAr ts. Students are notified of their advancementto candidacy.

Students in every D.M.A. area of concentrationexcept conducting must present three full-lengthrecitals during the course of study for the degree.The first of these is considered a qualifying recital,which must be preceded by a pre-recital hearing. Thishearing must be presented on a designated date atleast three weeks before the scheduled recital, andis adjudicated by the full performance faculty. Hearingfor subsequent degree recitals may be held at thediscretion of the major advisor or applied instructor.These recitals and concer ts represent theculmination of the per formance aspect of thisdegree, and will be judged according to the highestlevels of musical artistry. Majors in conducting mustappear in concer t as conductors with theappropriate departmental major ensemble. Eithertwo one-half concert appearances or one wholeconcer t appearance is required. In addition,conducting majors must present one full-lengthrecital during the course of study for the degree.

A written dissertation representing researchinto some aspect of music performance, repertoire,or pedagogy is an important requirement of thisdegree. The D.M.A. Dissertation is under theimmediate supervision of a member of the musictheor y or music history 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 cer tain 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, fur ther revision of the


dissertation may be required by the advisor ycommittee as a result of the final examination. Finalapproval of the disser tation fol lowing 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 the conferral perioddeadline in August , December, or May. It is thestudent’s responsibility to place a copy of thedissertation in the Music Library 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”).

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.

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 the conferral perioddeadline in August , December, or May. Invitation toparticipate in the examination is issued by theadvisory committee, although any member of thefaculty may attend. Not fewer than five members ofthe faculty, including all members of the candidate’sadvisory committee, must participate in the finalexamination unless written approval for a lessernumber has been secured in advance from the Deanof the Graduate School. The decision as to whethera candidate has passed or failed the examinationrests solely with the advisory committee, which willtake into account the opinions of any otherparticipating faculty members. The vote of theadvisory committee must be unanimous. Followingthe examination, the major advisor communicatesthe results to the student and verifies that theofficial report has been completed and signed forsubmission to the Graduate School.

THE DOCTOR OFPHILOSOPHY DEGREE

The Ph.D. is the highest degree of fered 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 not merelya matter of accumulating course credits or of

satisfying other requirements. The degree will beconferred only after the advisory committee andthe Graduate Faculty are convinced that the studenthas developed independence of judgment andmature scholarship in the chosen field. An individualmay not earn more than one Ph.D. degree in a singlefield of study at this institution.

Time LimitsThe equivalent of at least three years of full-timestudy beyond the baccalaureate or two years beyondthe master’s degree (in the same or a closely-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 defined asthe beginning date of the earliest course, wherevertaken, listed on the approved doctoral plan of study.The general examination must be passed within fiveyears of the beginning of doctoral study, or withinfour years if the student entered with a master’sdegree in the same or a closely-related field. Failureto complete the work within the periods specifiedor failure to maintain continuous registration (see“Cont inuous Reg is t ra t ion”) w i l l requ i rereevaluation of the student’s entire program andmay result in a notice of termination. A five-yeartime limit applies to the acceptability of foreign-language courses. (See “Foreign Language; Relatedor Supporting Area of Study.”)

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 plusa contiguous 12-week summer period made up ofSummer Sessions I & II or Summer Session IV, ifagreed upon by the advisory 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 instruction and research within theUniversity system. Students ordinarily mustregister for full-time student status during theresidence period (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 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 and the members of the advisor ycommittee, and submitted to the Graduate Schoolfor approval by the Executive Committee of theGraduate Faculty Council when the student hascompleted not more than twelve credits of coursework to be applied to the degree. The student maynot take the general examination before the plan ofstudy has been fully approved. Failure to presentthe plan on time may prolong the period of studyfor the degree. Before formulating and signing theplan, the major advisor should review a set oftranscripts of all undergraduate and graduate workthe student has taken. The advisory committee mayrequire that the student take an explorator yexamination to guide it in formulating the plan ofstudy.

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 areaoffered in lieu of a non-credit language requirement– beyond the master’s degree or its equivalent inthe same or a similar field. In other words, the workpresented for the Ph.D. degree should equate to44 to 48 credits beyond the baccalaureate or itsequivalent. For students entering in Fall, 1998 orlater, at least 15 credits of GRAD 495 (DissertationResearch) must be included in the plan of study,representing the research ef for t the studentdevotes to the dissertation.

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

The p lan shal l des ignate any fore ignlanguage(s) in which the student is to be tested andany courses comprising a related or supportingarea. Course credit by examination is not allowed asa means of accumulating credits to meet therequirements for advanced degrees at thisinstitution. If an examination is permitted to be usedto fulfill a related (or supporting) area requirementfor the Ph.D. degree, course credit is not given. Nocourse credit is given for the dissertation, but theresearch toward it is associated with the minimum


of 15 credits of GRAD 495 required of studentsentering in the Fall 1998 or later. The dissertationis regarded as an important part of the student’sprogram and is considered to represent at least oneyear 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 besubmitted 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 ExecutiveCommittee. The successful completion of all workindicated on the approved plan of study is afundamental prerequisite to the conferral of thedegree.


Foreign Language; Related orSupporting 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 (unless faculty in a particular fieldof study have voted to require neither). However,an advisory committee may require a competentreading knowledge of more than one foreignlanguage. The committee also may requireadditional advanced work in one or more related orsupporting areas, alone or in conjunction with aforeign 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 advisory 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 Committeebefore the courses are taken. With the approval ofthe advisor y committee, however, the passing ofan examination may be substituted for the coursework. In the event of a non-language examination,one or more examiners shall be designated by the

Executive Committee. With the consent of theadvisor y committee, a three-credit advancedcourse in mathematics or statistics passedsatisfactorily at this institution may fulfill theotherwise six-credit-minimum requirement if thestudent’s preparation contains a suitably advancedprerequisite course (i.e., equivalent to a 200’s levelUniversity of Connecticut course not open tosophomores) passed satisfactorily at this oranother institution (although no course credits willbe 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-)or higher. This requirement will be considered tobe met if, in light of previous preparation, thestudent is permitted by the instructor to enterdirectly into the second semester of the one-yearsequence and earns a grade of C (not C-) or higher.The courses may be taken by graduate students ona Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory basis, with a grade ofSatisfactory denoting performance at the level ofC (not C-) or higher. The Executive Committeedesignates courses that may be taken for thispurpose. Currently 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 institutionsare not accepted. However, the student mayconsider option (2).

(2) The student may pass an examination setby a member of the University faculty (or, ifapproved by the advisor y committee and theGraduate School, a faculty member at anothercollege or university) designated by the student’sadvisory committee and approved by the head ofthe department in which the major advisor holdsan appointment. The examiner may be a memberof the same department but may not be a memberof the student’s advisor y committee. Theexamination will include, but need not be limitedto, the translation of a passage approximately 400words in length. The use of a dictionar y may bepermitted at the option of the examiner. Thetranslation is to be written in English unlesspermission is granted by the Executive Committeeof the Graduate Faculty Council to write it in

another language. Such permission is granted onlyif 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, whetherpassed or failed, must be reported to the GraduateSchool on the official form bearing the signature ofthe examiner.

(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 of ficialtranscript 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 nativelanguage, learned in childhood and used primarilythrough at least secondary 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.”)Transfer credit is not granted for individual coursesused toward a degree elsewhere (alreadycompleted or to be completed in the future). Instead,consideration is given to that degree program asan entity when the doctoral plan of study is beingprepared.

Evaluation of PerformanceThe advisory committee continually evaluates thestudent’s per formance. 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.

3 3

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 the earliestcourse, wherever taken, listed on the approveddoctoral plan of study. Foreign languagerequirements should have been met and therelated or supporting area courses completed wellin advance. 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 advisor y 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 adifferently constituted examining committee. Theexamination may be written, oral, or both. Allmembers of the advisor y committee must bepresent during any oral examination. A student isexamined in the several facets of his or her field ofstudy, not merely in the par ticular area ofconcentration. Advisory or examining committeesmay give a series of cumulative examinations, tobe taken at intervals over the student’s period ofstudy. For practical purposes, the final part of sucha series shall be regarded as “the generalexamination,” and its scope may be limited as theadvisor y or examining committee may judgeappropriate.

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 disser tationproposal 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 wasted

effort on a dissertation if changes are required inthe project. If human or animal subjects areinvolved in the proposed research, special formsmust be completed and approval must be granted bythe appropriate (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) Does thestudent show awareness of the relevant researchby others? and (5) Does the student consider howthe proposed investigation, if successful, willcontribute 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 thestudent 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 a particularfield of study or group of related fields of study.The head’s signature on the proposal when thereview is completed confirms that the results of thereview were favorable. The evaluation may take theform of a reading of the proposal or attendance atan oral presentation and discussion of the proposal.The head of the department or program reportsthe result of its examination of a proposal to theExecut i ve Commi t tee in the fo rm o f arecommendation either to approve the proposal, toreturn it to the student for revisions, or todisapprove the proposal. The dissertation proposalnormally should be submitted for review not laterthan six months before the expected date of degreecompletion. A copy of the signed approval form anddissertation proposal must be received by theGraduate School when the review process beencompleted.

Candidacy and Disser tation Prepa-rationUpon approval of the plan of study, passing thegeneral examination, and having had thedisser tation proposal fully approved by theExecutive Committee of the Graduate FacultyCouncil, the student becomes a candidate for thedegree of Doctor of Philosophy. Students arenotified of their advancement to Candidacy.

A disser tation representing a significantcontribution to ongoing research in the candidate’sfield is a primary requirement. The preparation ofthe dissertation is under the immediate and

continuous 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.

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

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 preliminary or “working” copy of theabstract and dissertation at the Graduate School (or,if more appropriate, at a central office at the HealthCenter in Farmington) at least seven days beforethe dissertation defense. When submitted to theGraduate School (or to the Health Center), thecomplete preliminar y or “working” copy of theabstract and dissertation must be accompanied by atentative-approval form signed by all members ofthe advisory committee.

Following the examination, the student mustsubmit the final, fully-revised copies of thedissertation to the Graduate School (also anothercopy if submitted to the Health Center). The finalcopies of the dissertation should be printed with alaser printer or they may be high qual i typhotocopies. In any event, at least 25% cotton-content bond paper of at least 20-pound weight mustbe used for any copy of the dissertation submittedto the Graduate School (or to the Health Center).Only one side of the paper is to be used for printing.

In some cases, revision of the dissertation isrequired by the advisory 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 the conferral period deadlinein August , December, or May. After binding, twocopies of the dissertation become the property ofthe Homer Babbidge Library. If a department orprogram requires extra copies, it is the student’sresponsibility to supply them directly to thedepartment or program.

Abstract, Microfilming, and OtherCompletion RequirementsAt the time the dissertation is submitted, fourcopies of the abstract (five if the dissertation is

STANDARDS AND DEGREE REQUIREMENTS


submitted 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 published inDissertation Abstracts.

Microfilming of the disser tation by PQIL 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. Bothfinal copies become the property of the HomerBabbidge Library.

All doctoral students are complete the “Surveyof Earned Doctorates,” a federal form available atthe 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 dissertation and tentativeadvisor y commit tee appr oval have b e e n

submitted to the Graduate School (or the HealthCenter) and by the conferral period deadline inAugust , December, or May. Invitation to participatein the examination is issued by the advisor ycommittee, although any member of the faculty mayattend. Not fewer than five members of the faculty,including all members of the candidate’s advisorycommit tee , must par t ic ipate in the f ina lexamination, unless written approval for a lessernumber has been secured in advance from the Deanof the Graduate School.

It is required that notification of the time, date,and place of the examination be posted at least twoweeks prior to the examination on the University’sWeb-based events calendar. Instructructions forposting the announcement are available at <http://www.grad.uconn.edu/announcing.html>. In addition,the examination should be advertised widely in thecandidate’s department and elsewhere throughoutthe University, as appropriate.

The decision regarding whether a candidate haspassed, conditionally passed, or failed theexamination rests solely with the advisor ycommittee, which will take into account the opinionsof other participating faculty members and otherexperts. The vote of the advisory committee mustbe unanimous. Following the examination, the majoradvisor communicates the results to the student andverifies that the official report has been completedand signed for submission to the Graduate School.

PROGRAMS ANDCOURSE

OFFERINGS

ProgramsAll graduate degrees at the University of Connecticutexcept the M.D., D.M.D., Pharm.D., and J.D. areawarded through the Graduate School.

Only those Fields of Study and Areas ofConcentration identified in the preceding list arerecognized by the University and the Graduate School.Here, descriptions of degree programs appear underthe titles of the approved fields of study, if possible. Insome cases, it has been necessary to group the approvedfields of study under a departmental or other title in orderto facilitate location in the text. For many of the programs,special requirements (over and above those of theGraduate School) that are generally applied to all studentsin that program are outlined. However, each student’sprogram is non-departmental in that the advisorycommittee alone, in supervising it, is directly responsibleto the Dean of the Graduate School.

Course Of feringsThe following lists include most of the graduate coursesthat the University has approved for offering.However, not all courses listed are offered everysemester or every year. For actual current offerings,students should consult the appropriate schedule ofclasses which can be accessed from the Graduate School’sregistration Web site. Part-time, evening, and summersession students may wish to consult class schedulespublished by the Office of Credit Programs, Extendedand Continuing Education. Descriptions ofundergraduate courses are contained in theUndergraduate Catalog. The University reserves theright to change announced offerings.

Course Numbering SystemAt the University of Connecticut, undergraduatecourses numbered 100-199 are primarily forfreshmen and sophomores, undergraduate coursesnumbered 200-299 are primarily for juniors andseniors. Graduate courses are numbered 300-499.This Catalog contains listings of the 300-499 coursesonly (although up to six credits of 200’s level courses,if not open to sophomores, also may be acceptedtoward a graduate degree provided they are approvedas a part of the student’s plan of study).

Satis factor y/Unsat is factor yGradingThroughout the text, courses approved by theExecutive Committee of the Graduate Faculty Councilfor Satisfactory (S)/Unsatisfactory (U) grading (see“Standards and Degree Requirements”) aredesignated by the dagger symbol (†).

Course SemestersClass schedules for each semester and session can beaccessed from the University’s PeopleSoft Web site. Notall courses are offered every semester or every year.

Information concerning the availability of particularcourses may be obtained also from departmental andprogram offices.

Courses carrying hyphenated numbers are full-year courses extending over two semesters. The firstsemester of such courses is always prerequisite tothe second, but the student may receive credit forthe first semester without continuing with the second.

Course Meeting TimesInformation about the specific time(s) that a coursewill meet may be obtained from the appropriatedepartmental office at the time of registration or fromappropriate class schedules.

Course Prerequisi tesAll course prerequisites must be met before a studentis permitted to register for the particular course. If,however, the instructor of a course is convinced thatthe student has the equivalent of such a prerequisite,the instructor may admit the student by providing thestudent with a unique PeopleSoft permission number(which is valid only for that student to use inregistering for the course in question).

Course Instr uctorStudents should consult the schedule of classescontained in the PeopleSoft database or contact thedepartmental office at the time of registration toobtain information concerning course instructor(s).

The Depar tment of Agricultural and Resource Economicsof fers study leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees inAgricultural and Resource Economics. The master’sdegree program includes courses designed to provide afoundation in theor y, quantification, and policy. Theoppor tunity of selecting a study area is of fered via athesis project and additional courses. Study may beunder taken in two broad areas, namely AgriculturalEconomics and Resource Economics and Development,i n c l u d i n g s u c h s u b - a r e a s a s p r i c e s a n d m a r k e tper formance, production economics, environmentaleconomics, the economics of recreation, econometricsand statistics, economic development, demography, ruralsociology, government policies and programs, and capitalgrowth.

Ph.D. candidates usually take the courses listed belowand, in addition, select complementary offerings from thoseavailable in the Depar tments of Economics, NaturalResources Management and Engineering, Sociology, andStatistics.

The Depar tment recommends that applicants foradmission to the master’s program have a background ofcourses in economic principles, mathematics, and statistics,although there are no fixed requirements.

Special Requirements for the Ph.D. Degree.The student takes about ten semester courses beyond themaster’s program and plans a research project as early aspossible in the Ph.D. program. Examples of possible researchtopics follow: estimation of demand and supply functions,market structure analysis, simulation of firm growth,environmental impacts of economic programs, resource andenvironmental policy, and studies of economics of scale,interregional competition, spatial and temporal equilibrium,pricing and taxation policies, and resource development.

Special Facilities. A collection of production,marketing, and price data is maintained in the Depar tmentand is available for testing economic models and hypotheses.Cooperative arrangements with other agricultural institutionsprovide additional research material. The Department alsomaintains an ample supply of reports, bulletins, census data,and professional journals.

A staf f member is available for assisting in dataprocessing and computer programming, and a file of computerprograms is being assembled to widen the selection ofresearch tools.

The School of Allied Health Professions’ graduate program,leading to the Master of Science degree in Allied Health,emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to graduate studyfor the student who has completed professional education inone of the allied health fields. The program is designed toprepare health professionals to become leaders and to meetcurrent and future needs in health care.

Emphasis is placed on the development of individualizedplans of study to meet the professional and educational goalsof each student. Students are required to plan a program ofstudy which includes four components: core, health discipline,an area of emphasis, and thesis or project-practicum. Thecore courses are designed to provide a cross-disciplinar yperspective of (1) health care policy, (2) the allied healthprofessional in contemporar y society, and (3) researchmethods in allied health. The health discipline is broadlydefined and includes graduate level courses designed to meetthe individual needs of students and to expand theirdisciplinary competence. Each student selects one area ofemphasis and coursework related to his/her long rangeprofessional and educational goals. The emphasis areasinclude: administration, allied health education, dietetics,health promotion, medical laboratory science, occupationalsafety and health, orthotics and prosthetics.

Students are able to select Plan A (Thesis) or Plan B(Project and Practicum) options within any area of emphasis.In Plan A the thesis utilizes problem solving methodologyand the scientific method of inquiry in the completion of aresearch project. In Plan B the project provides anindividualized opportunity to focus and to apply abilities gainedduring the academic phase of the program. The practicumprovides an individualized, supervised practical experienceand an opportunity to apply, strengthen, and to develop furtherknowledge and skills related to the area of emphasis and thehealth disciplines.

Admission. In addition to the standard requirementsof the Graduate School, applicants must be healthprofessionals who hold a baccalaureate degree. Applicantsare preferred to have at least one year of successful practicein their respective health professions, however this is notmandatory.

The Master of Fine Arts. The Master of Fine Artsdegree, a terminal degree for studio artists, requires aminimum of two years study in residence. Graduate levelstudio work for the serious artist is desirable to enableintensive aesthetic experimentation assisted by theguidance of established professional artists. As a resultof such experience, a student is expected to complete abody of art significant in content and of professionalquality. Students develop a plan of study in consultationwith a major advisor and advisory committee. While theprogram emphasizes individualized studies concentratingon and combining studio art areas such as ceramics,drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, andsculpture, there also are courses which enable studentsto engage other resources of the Department of Artand Art History and the University community.

Admission. Students are admitted to begin studyin the fall semester only. Applicants for the M.F.A. degreemust first meet the admission requirements of theGraduate School as specified in this Catalog. Considerationfor admission also requires submission of the followingto the Department of Art and Art History: (1) examplesof recent original art presented in the form ofphotographic color transparencies, or a portfolio of actualworks, or a combination thereof; (2) three letters ofrecommendation; (3) a personal letter of application; (4)official transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate levelstudies. The principal criterion for admitting applicantsinto the M.F.A. program is the quality of the art worksubmitted and the potential for graduate leveldevelopment it suggests. Applicants are not required totake the Graduate Record Examinations or the MillerAnalogies Test.

Plan of Study. Students establish their owndirection and goals in consultation with a major advisorand an advisory committee. After such consultation, theplan of study is completed for the approval of thestudent’s advisory committee. Candidates for the M.F.A.are required to complete a minimum of 60 credits ofgraduate course work. This total typically includes 39credits of graduate studio art distributed as follows: 21credits in an area of major emphasis, 12 credits outsidethe area of major emphasis, and six credits of M.F.A.project. An additional 15 credits are to be taken in non-studio graduate art courses and are distributed as follows:nine credits of graduate art seminar, three credits inhistorical and contemporary issues in art criticism, andthree credits of special topics in art history. Theremaining six credits are graduate electives. Whendeemed appropriate by the advisory committee,additional credits in advanced studio or art history maybe required of students whose undergraduatebackgrounds are deficient in these areas.

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 public viewing,

supported by a written statement, public presentation,and a photographic color-transparency portfolio. Theadvisory committee conducts an oral defense by thecandidate of the completed body of studio work and ofthe written statement. The exhibition emphasizes workresulting from the M.F.A. project and courses taken inthe final year of study. A public presentation is requiredin conjunction with the exhibition. The photographic color-transparency portfolio, which is to include each work inthe 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.

Scholastic Standards. The advisory committeeevaluates the student’s program whenever a grade of Cor lower is recorded for a graduate course. Progress inall courses is monitored by the advisory committee,particularly if a student’s cumulative grade point averagefalls below 3.00 at any time during the course of study.The M.F.A. is not conferred unless the candidatemaintains a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.00in all course work.

❑

The Master of Arts in Art History. Starting in Fall2005, the Department will offer a Master of Arts programin Art History. The M.A. will emphasize the application ofa range of investigative methods to historical andcontemporary visual practices, exploring the ways theyinform and organize our understanding of both Westernand non-Western visual traditions. This interdisciplinaryprogram provides students with a focused structure foradvanced studies in the history, theory, and criticism ofvisual art. The program highlights the investigation of arange of theoretical and methodological approaches thatengage art-making within its social, political and culturalcontexts. The Master of Arts in Art History requires aminimum of two years study in residence.

Admission. Applicants for the M. A. degree mustmeet the admission requirements of the GraduateSchool as specified in this Catalog. Three letters ofrecommendation, preferably from members of theacademic profession, along with a writing sample andpersonal statement from the applicant are required.Students are admitted to begin study in the fall semesteronly.

Advisory Committee. The advisory committeeincludes a major advisor and at least two associate advisors,one a member of the Art History faculty and one fromoutside the Department of Art and Art History. Oneassociate advisor may be chosen from outside theUniversity in accordance with Graduate Schoolprocedures.

Plan of Study. Candidates for the M.A. are requiredto complete a minimum of 30 credits of graduate coursework including 18 credits of required work and twelveelective credits. A plan of study listing the courses to betaken must be prepared by the student, and approved bythe advisory committee and the Graduate School. Otherrequirements including specifics regarding the languagerequirement, the M.A. Thesis, and the Final Examinationare described in the pamphlet, The Graduate Program inArt History, which may be obtained from the Departmentof Art and Art History.

AR T AND AR T HISTORY


BIOMEDICALENGINEERING

Program Director: Professor John D. Enderle

Biomedical Engineering (BME) is profession involvingengineering and the life sciences, physical sciences andmedical science to understand problems in physiologyand biology and improve human health. The BMEGraduate Handbook at the website http://www.bme.uconn.edu further describes the program.

The goal of the biomedical engineering graduateprogram is to provide students the interdisciplinarytraining in biological and medical sciences, physicalsciences, and engineering necessary to solve complexbiomedical problems. Faculty members fromengineering, biomedical sciences, materials sciences,chemistry, physics, medicine, and dental medicine forman interdisciplinary graduate degree program that spansthe University of Connecticut campuses at Storrs and atthe Health Center (UCHC) in Farmington. Biomedicalengineering can embrace the following diverse yetcomplementar y research areas: biochemicalengineering, bioinformatics, bioinstrumentation,biomaterials, biomechanics, biomedical imaging/biosignalprocessing, biosensors, biotechnology, cellular and tissueengineering, clinical engineering, ergonomics, medicalinformatics, physiological systems modeling, andrehabilitation 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 in engineeringand computer science, as well as knowledge of corefundamentals of biomedical engineering at the time oftheir graduation. Plans of study are developed inconsultation with the student’s advisory committee, aredesigned to meet individual needs and programrequirements.

Application Procedure. Applicants are requiredto submit three letters of recommendation (preferablyfrom members of the academic profession), a personalletter from the student describing their interest inbiomedical engineering and the application to theGraduate School. The GRE and TOEFL (minimum scoreof 550) are required only for students with anundergraduate degree from a non-US institution.

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 for acareer in biomedical engineering after completingremedial coursework.

Only the Plan A (thesis option) is offered. Eightgraduate courses (24 credits), nine credits of Master’sThesis Research (GRAD 395), and the writing and oraldefense of a thesis are required. Courses required of allM.S. students include: BME 310, BME 311 or BME 354,BME 312, BME 313 and BME 315. The remainingcourses are selected from the BME course offeringsand should be consistent with the student’s background,interests, and career plans. Master’s students arerequired to present and publish their MS research at a

conference (or have their paper accepted beforegraduation). Exceptions to the specified M.S. courserequirements must be approved by the BME ProgramDirector.

The Ph.D. Program. Applicants to the Ph.D.program are expected to demonstrate outstanding abilityand to show, based on their record of previous scholarshipand experience, that they are likely to do superior creativework in their respective fields. Holding a master’s degreefrom this or any other institution does not render theapplicant automatically admissible to a doctoral program.In general, doctoral applicants must meet all admissionrequirements for the BME MS degree and must presentevidence that they are capable of doing independent workof distinction. Exceptional students with a BS degree maybe directly admitted into the BME Ph.D. program. It isrecommended, however, to first earn a BME MS degreebefore starting Ph.D. studies.

Beyond the MS, a minimum of 24 credit hours ofBME course work is required for the Ph.D. Additionally,15 credits of Doctoral Dissertation Research (GRAD495) are required. There is no language requirementfor a Ph.D. in BME.

If a doctoral student has not taken the five requiredMS courses or their equivalents (see “The MSProgram”), these courses are required in addition to thecourse work and research credits otherwise requiredfor the Ph.D. The BME Program Director must approveany exceptions to the course requirements.

The BME Ph.D. program requires the passing of twotests, the Qualifying Exam and the General Exam.Admitted Ph.D. students must pass the BME QualifyingExam within their first year of study. The exam is givenonce a year in May. The objective of this exam is todetermine the student’s suitability to advance to candidacyfor Ph.D. studies in Biomedical Engineering. Thisexamination seeks to evaluate a candidate’s competencyin basic skills and knowledge essential to conductingresearch in Biomedical Engineering by examining thestudent’s grasp of material covered in the BME corecurriculum. The Ph.D. Qualifying Exam is a written testgiven by the BME program with five parts that are basedon the candidate’s in-depth grasp of the material in fiveof the following seven core areas: BME 310, BME 311 orBME 354, BME 312, BME 313, BME 315, BME 360 andBME 380. Students who have passed any of these coursesat the University of Connecticut with a grade of B or betterwill automatically pass the portion of the Qualifying examrelated to that course, and therefore do not need to takethat part of the exam.

All Ph.D. Candidates must take the BME GeneralExam no later than nine months before defending theirdissertation at a time arranged between the Ph.D.Candidate and Advisory Committee. The objective ofthe General Exam is to evaluate a PhD candidate’scompetency in developing and formulating a researchproject and the student’s ability to approach a new problemin ways appropriate for an independent scientist. Theexam will consist of a research proposal based on thestudent’s research project. At least two weeks prior tothe exam, the student will submit a written researchproposal (approximately 40 pages) to the advisingcommittee. The general exam is mainly an oral defenseof this research proposal by the student. The committeetries to evaluate the candidate’s competency indeveloping and formulating the research project, as wellas the scientific merits of the project, researchhypothesis, research methods, potential findings,implications and limitations. The General Exam must be

conducted by at least five faculty (including the Ph.D.Candidate’s Advisory Committee) in the fields related tothe student’s project. There are no exemptions fromthe General Exam.

Research required for the doctoral degree inbiomedical engineering involves the use of advancedengineering techniques for the solution of a biological ormedical problem. Ph.D. candidates must submit at leasttwo journal papers to a leading BME journal beforegraduation, with at least one of them having gone throughthe review process favorably. Note that the journalsubmissions must be full papers, with two short papersthe equivalent of a full paper.

Clinical Engineering Internship. This is ahospital-based, two-year program supported by theclinical engineering departments of Hartford Hospital,The John Dempsey Hospital (UCHC), Baystate MedicalCenter, UMass Medical Center, Rhode Island Hospitaland West Haven V.A. Hospital. Applications should bereceived by January 1 for full consideration. As part ofthe selection process, applicants are invited to the hospitaland campus in February and March for interviews. Theinterview is required to secure a graduate assistantship(paid internship). Final selections are made in April forFall admission. Each intern is expected to spend 20 hoursper week in a hospital’s clinical engineering department.The primary objectives are to: (1) provide exposure tohospital organization and administrative structure; (2)provide an opportunity to apply engineering techniquesto patient care and hospital-based research; and (3)provide substantial hands-on experience working withhealth care technology and hospital personnel, includingadministrators, nurses, technicians and medical staff.Clinical engineering trainees are supported by stipendscontributed by the participating hospitals. Studentsaccepted for the internship earn a Plan A Master’sdegree.

The following courses are required of all ClinicalEngineering interns: BME 310, BME 311 or BME 354,and BME 350. The remaining courses are taken onlyfrom the BME course offerings, and should be relatedto the 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,industrial experience that complements the engineeringexpertise gained in the classroom. Students in theindustrial internship can earn an MS and Ph.D degree.Companies located throughout New England participatein the program. The primary objectives of this industrialinternship program are to provide: exposure to theindustrial workplace; the opportunity to applyengineering knowledge and expertise to a variety ofindustrial projects; and the opportunity to interact with avariety of industrial work groups, includingadministrators, engineers, and technicians.

Additional details are contained in the BME GraduateHandbook.

BIOTECHNOLOGYBiotechnology is the high technology field that appliesbasic knowledge in biology and materials of biologicalorigin to the development of products and processeswith practical applications. Although the basis ofbiotechnology is in molecular biology, its practice ishighly interdisciplinar y. Chemists and chemicalengineers play essential roles in the design anddevelopment of processes, and applications aredeveloped by workers in medicine, agriculture,pharmaceutical science, environmental science, andother fields.

The M.S. Program. The Master of Sciencedegree in Biotechnology is directed by aninterdisciplinary graduate faculty from the Collegeof Agriculture and Natural Resources, the College ofLiberal Arts and Sciences, the School of Engineering,and the School of Pharmacy, and is administered inthe Department of Molecular and Cell Biology. Theprogram stresses both theory and current laboratorypractice in molecular biology and other central areasof biotechnology. Major use is made of the corelaboratory research facilities of the University ofConnecticut Biotechnology Center. TheBiotechnology M.S. is Plan B, based on course work;although students complete a substantial number oflaboratory courses and spend a research period in auniversity or industrial laboratory, no research thesisis required. Students are prepared for challengingpositions in industr y and for entry into Ph.D.programs.

Entering students’ undergraduate training shouldbe in science, with biology, chemistry, and chemicalengineering especially appropriate.

The M.S. Program inAccount ing

The Master of Science Program in the field of Accountingis an online degree which will provide students with theskill set critical to a successful professional career in publicand private accounting. A dynamic online community hasbeen created that supports and nurtures student-centered learning and information literacy, also known as“learning to learn”. Information literacy is the process ofidentifying a problem and information sources, evaluatinginformation to make a judgment, and then communicatingthat judgment. Student-centered learning shifts the focusfor learning from the instructor to the student, with theinstructor facilitating and guiding the learning experience.Both information literacy and student-centered learningproduce individuals who can succeed in challenging workenvironments.

The online community allows students to readilyaccess other students in the online class as well aspertinent faculty members. Completion of this program,combined with a an undergraduate degree with at least30 credit hours in business or economics other thanaccounting, will fulfill the 150-hour educationalrequirements in preparation for the CPA exam in mostU.S. states.

Students can complete the degree in eight monthson a full-time basis or within 16 months on a part-timebasis. The part-time program provides a wide range ofsummer course offerings minimizing the courseworktaken during the fall semester.

The program offers 13 courses and students select10 courses to take to complete the degree.

Admission. Admission is highly selective. Generaltargets for admission are: a GMAT score of 550 (with a

reasonable balance between verbal and quantitativescores), and an undergraduate grade point average of3.2 on a 4.0 scale. In addition, applicants must havecompleted at least 24 semester hours of accountingcourses and received a baccalaureate degree at a collegeor university accredited by a regional accountingcommission subscribing to established national policiesand procedures or of equivalent accreditation asdetermined by the Connecticut State Board ofAccountancy. Students with fewer than 24 credits inaccounting should contact the program director ormanager to discuss acquiring the necessary backgroundcourses.

Applicants with significant work experience andapplicants who add to the cultural and geographic diversityof the student body are encouraged to apply even if theydo not possess typical GMAT scores or undergraduategrade-point averages.

Students enter the program in May of each year.Applications and all accompanying materials should bereceived as early as possible, since admissions decisionsare made on a rolling basis until the entering class is filled.The deadline for submitting the application and allmaterials is March 1.

The M.B.A. ProgramThe M.B.A. Program emphasizes the role of informationtechnology and globilization across all functionaldisciplines. The curriculum requires a total of 19 courses(57 credits) to earn the degree. This typically takes twoacademic years to complete.

The M.B.A. Program requires a laptop computer asa tool of the trade, and the laptop’s use is completelyintegrated into the curriculum.

The first-year M.B.A. curriculum during the fallsemester consists of core introductory courses ineconomics, managerial statistics, financial accounting andreporting, managing organizations, and managementinformation systems. The spring semester consists ofcore introductory courses in financial management,operations management, cost analysis and control, andmarket-driven management.

As part of the first-year curriculum, students aregrouped into functional teams. These teams undertakea comprehensive Integration Project which solvesbusiness problems faced by a partner company. As theterm “integration” implies, students synthesizeknowledge and skills from all first-year courses and pastprofessional experiences to develop solutions. Recentprojects include experiential learning with such firms asPratt & Whitney, Xerox, Engineering Systems, GeneralElectric Capital Financial Services (GE Capital), andHamilton Sundstrand..

In the second year, students complete courses towardtheir chosen concentrations. Concentrations enableM.B.A. candidates to explore areas of business in greaterdepth to prepare for specific careers. By March of theirfirst year, full-time M.B.A. students are required to choosea primary concentration (in which the M.B.A. degree isto be awarded) and a secondary concentration. Theseconcentrations are to be chosen from the five that havebeen designated for the full-time M.B.A. Program:Finance, Health Care Management, InformationTechnology, Interactive Marketing, and ManagementConsulting. Students are required to take four specificcourses in their primary concentration and three coursesin their secondary concentration.

Second-year students also benefit from a partnershipwith General Electric through which the School ofBusiness operates a 10,000 square foot IT facility callededgelab. M.B.A. students participate in real-time IT/e-business research projects, mentored by faculty and byGE executives. By “pushing the envelope” of cooperativeresearch and analysis, by employing student teams onsubstantive “live” projects, and by providing a creative,collaborative environment, edgelab is redefining thepartnership between business and education at UConn.

Admission. All applicants must take the GraduateManagement Admission Test (GMAT) and must meetthe general requirements for admission to theGraduate School. Interviews may be requested by theM.B.A. admissions committee. Non-degree studentsare permitted, in exceptional cases, to register for atotal of not more than 15 credits. They also arerequired to take the GMAT before enrolling incourses.

Scholastic Standards.

Research projects within theseareas include: Analytical – atomic spectroscopy,biomedical sensors and microarrays, chemistry,proteomics, separations and massw spectrometry;Biological – bio-analytical, bio-inorganic, bio-organic,bio-physical, bio-polymer, and bio-materials; Inorganic– bioinorganic and coordination chemistry, catalysis,crystal growth and structure, organometallic andtransition metal chemistry, physical methods, solidstate chemistry, structure determination, synthesisand characterization, and surface analysis; Organic –bioorganic, medicinal and toxicological chemistry,natural products, synthetic and physical organicchemistry, and organic polymer chemistry; Physical– kinetics, biophysical chemistry, spectroscopy,physical methods, theoret ical chemistr y,thermodynamics, x-ray crystal structure; andPolymer – organic and inorganic polymers, andsynthesis and characterization of materials. A detaileddescription of the research programs of individualfaculty members is available in a departmentalbrochure, which is available on the departmental Website<http://web.uconn.edu/chemistry/>.

In addition to the basic requirements foradmission to the Graduate School, an applicant shouldsubmit scores from the General and the AdvancedTest in Chemistr y of the Graduate RecordExaminations at the time of application. All enteringgraduate students must take comprehensiveproficiency examinations in analytical, inorganic,organic, and physical chemistry at the advancedundergraduate level. The results of theseexaminations are used to determine the appropriatecourse level for the student.

The student must qualify in the four areas listedabove either by passing the proficiency examinationsupon entry, or by earning a grade of B or higher (notB-) in a graduate course in the discipline(s) in whichthe examination was not passed. Students lackingundergraduate background in an area, may elect totake an undergraduate course or sequence andretake the proficiency examination. Students who donot qualify for admission to the Ph.D. program maybe allowed to continue towards a master’s degree.

Requirements for the Ph.D. Degree. Thereare no specific course requirements for the Ph.D.degree in chemistry beyond those established by thestudent’s advisory committee. The department hasstarred (*) courses in each of the divisions asguidelines in preparing for the Ph.D. generalexamination, and ordinarily students are also expectedto demonstrate reasonable competence in an area orareas outside their major program emphasis.

After the successful completion of the qualificationrequirements (see above), the student must pass the

General Examination for the Ph.D. degree, consistingof a written and an oral portion as determined by thestudent’s chosen Division (analytical, biological,environmental, inorganic, organic, physical andpolymer). The General Examination (see thedepartment’s Graduate Student Handbook fordetails) usually is completed during the second or thirdyear of graduate study.

Students working toward the Ph.D. degree mustcomplete the related area or foreign languagerequirement of the Graduate School before takingthe Ph.D. General Examination. Foreign languagesappropriate for fulfilling this requirement include:Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian,and Spanish. Upon passing the written portion of theGeneral Examination, the student takes an oralexamination based on a research proposal written bythe student.

The Ph.D. dissertation must contain the results oforiginal research in chemistry and make a substantialcontribution to the particular field. Upon completionof the dissertation, the student takes an oralexamination in its defense.

COMMUNICATIONSCIENCES

Department Head: Professor Harvey R. GilbertProfessors: Buck, Coelho, Lin, Musiek, and SnyderAssociate Professors: Cienkowski, D’Alessio, Grela,

Hamilton, Jalbert, Krcmar, Rios, and VanLearAssistant Professors: Cornetto, Farrar, Gaztambide-

Geigel, Johnson, Moncrieff, Max, Nowak, Tufts,and Wang

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 Sectionoffers both M.A. and Ph.D. concentrations in Speech,Language, and Hearing and offers the Au.D. degree inAudiology. The Communication Processes Section offersan M.A. concentration in Communication and a Ph.D.concentration in Communication Processes andMarketing 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 either thethesis or non-thesis option in speech-languagepathology and/or audiology. The general emphasisrequires a thesis. The emphasis in speech-languagepathology leads to clinical cer tification and isaccredited by the American Speech-Language HearingAssociation’s (ASHA), Council on AcademicAccreditation (CAA). The general emphasis isdesigned for students interested in speech, language,and hearing processes and their disorders, but notplanning a career as certified clinicians. The missionof these areas of emphasis is to provide anunderstanding of human communication disordersand their clinical management emphasizing a scientificapproach. Academic courses and clinical educationexperiences encourage a theoretical perspective andexperimental orientation to develop an appreciationof current knowledge and future research needs.

The Ph.D. also is of fered in the area ofconcentration of speech, language, and hearing. Fiveareas of emphasis within this concentration areavailable: (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-depth knowledgeof one of the five emphases through advanced coursework and research.

A Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) program is offered.The emphasis here leads to clinical certification inAudiology.

Communication Processes. Master’s levelwork in communication emphasizes the empiricalinvestigation of human communication. Studentsreceive a basic foundation in communication theoryand research methodology. Those pursuing the M.A.in communication prepare to carry out independentresearch in communication and to evaluatecommunication programs, either at institutionsoffering doctoral-level work in communication or in

COMMUNICATION SCIENCES


business or government. Areas of emphasis include:(1) general communication theory; (2) organizationalcommunication; (3) mass communication; (4)interpersonal communication; (5)marketingcommunication; and (6) new communicationtechnology (12-month course of study). Ampleexperimental and survey research facilities areavailable.

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,intercultural, international, nonverbal, organizational,political, relational, and small group communication;public opinion, health communication campaigns, newcommunication technology, advertising, socialmarketing, and consumer research.

COMPARATIVE LITERARYAND

CULTURAL STUDIESThe Program in Comparative Literary and CulturalStudies offers work leading to the M.A. and Ph.D. de-grees, encouraging intercultural and interdisciplinaryapproaches to the study of literature and culture. Stu-dents are prepared in such areas as literary theory,discourse analysis, the history and methods of liter-ary and cultural criticism, and in the comparative studyof literary texts in relation to other cultural produc-tions. The program’s curriculum reflects changing re-lations among the literatures and cultures of Europe,the Middle East, Africa, Asia, the Americas and otherregions of the world.

The Master’s degree student chooses oneliterature other than English for major emphasis anda second for minor emphasis; the Ph.D. candidatechooses in addition a third literature or related areaof 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 applying foradmission to the master’s program and in three fieldswhen 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 committee mayrequire changes in the student’s program in view ofhis 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 in literarytheory and methodology; a course in at least one non-Western literature and culture; and a course from atleast two of the following periods – ancient, medieval/Renaissance, modern. The course work must includestudies in at least two genres. Proficiency is requiredin three languages, one of them English. Students areresponsible for two periods in one literature and forone period in another. Students must successfullycomplete the M.A. qualifying exams, or, with theapproval of the committee, have the option to preparea Masters’ project, a 50-page comparative work on atopic not previously submitted for a course andapplying a critical apparatus.

The Ph.D. Program. The Ph.D. ordinarily re-quires 24 credits beyond the satisfaction of the re-quirements for the master’s degree listed above,drawn from courses in theory and criticism, studiesin at least two courses in literature and cultures draw-ing on non-western traditions, work in more than onediscipline (e.g., anthropology, architecture, history,film, and sociology); a course involving the period be-fore 1700 A.D.; proficiency in three languages, one ofthem English, and a reading knowledge of an ancientlanguage; Ph.D. qualifying exams, written and oral; aPh.D. dissertation that reflects appropriate use ofbibliographic materials in foreign languages, the ap-plication of a critical apparatus upon a genuinely com-parative topic, successful teacher training and prac-tice supervised by members of the committee in aworkshop series.

All students are expected to develop proficiencyin a national language and literature to increase their

8 3

options when entering the professional job market.Language Requirements. These may be satisfied

either by scoring a B or above in a 200-level literatureor culture course in the target language or by obtain-ing a respectable score on a proficiency examination.The reading exams require translations of materialschosen by the faculty, to be completed before the fi-nal semester of studies.

Foreign Study. The program of fers thepossibility of studying in a variety of foreign countriesfor graduate credit. Universities now open to ourstudents are located in Canada, Europe, Latin America,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. degreeis not uniform for all students. The combination ofcourses depends on the candidate’s objective. Forsome purposes, a broad spread of subject-mattercourses may be advisable, while for other purposes anarrowly focused program may be appropriate.Economics 308, 309, 310, and 314 are required.Candidates with inadequate backgrounds inmathematics are required to take Economics 214Q.

Requirements for the Doctor of PhilosophyDegree. Students in the Ph.D. program are requiredto pass Economics 411, 412, 414, 418, 419, 420, 428,429 or their equivalents.

If a supporting area of study is elected rather thana foreign language, it cannot include any of the coursesused to satisfy the above requirements; it must consistof a coherent unit of work in one subject considereda special skill for economists, and it must include atleast one course above the 200’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. Thisfield is then augmented with other course offerings.

Special Facilities. Computer time and assistanceare available at the University Computer Center. Inaddition, there is a PC lab in the Department for use bygraduate students. Research opportunities may beavailable in connection with faculty projects or at theConnecticut Center for Economic Analysis. Somestudents publish scholarly articles in partnership withfaculty.

Environmental Engineering is an interdisciplinary fieldconcerned with the scientific and technological aspectsof environmentally related processes and systems.Environmental engineers play a critical role inassessing the impacts of existing contaminationproblems, devising strategies for managing pollutedecosystems, developing new guidelines for thetreatment and disposal of wastes, and modifyingmanufacturing and other activities to minimize thegeneration of pollutants. Environmental engineersapply scientific principles to these areas in order toimprove environmental quality, to protect publichealth, and to promote the advancement of sustainabledevelopment.

The Environmental Engineering graduateprogram emphasizes the mastery of fundamentalscientific and socioeconomic principles. Graduateeducation in Environmental Engineering providesstudents with a sound foundation in basic engineeringconcepts, and the technological training and researchexpertise necessary to apply these concepts to thesolution of a variety of problems.

Environmental Engineering degree programs areoffered as an interdisciplinary Field of Study throughthe School of Engineering. Because of EnvironmentalEngineering’s broad scope and association with otherUniversity departments and research institutes, itoffers a wide range of academic focus areas based inthe natural and engineering sciences. We offer threefocus areas of study: (i) biogeochemical processes(BGC), (ii) air pollution and atmospheric processes(ATM), and (iii) hydrogeosciences engineering (HGS).Active research areas include:

• biochemical and physiochemical processesin environmental systems,

• combustion and air pollution,• environmental geophysical techniques,• environmental interfacial processes,• groundwater modeling and remediation,• vadose zone hydrology,• surface hydrological processes and land

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING


FLUID DYNAMICSFluid dynamics is concerned with the engineeringaspects of fluid mechanics in the broadest sense. Itencompasses fundamental theory of perfect andviscous flows, compressible and heated flows,magnetohydrodynamics and plasma jets, free-surfaceflows in oceans and natural water courses, laminar andturbulent flows, and the vast number of practicalapplications which make fluid motions useful.

The Ph.D. Program. The student’s plan of studyis arranged in consultation with his or her advisorycommittee to develop competence in fluid dynamics.Since it is possible to emphasize theoretical, appliedor experimental research, the student must developa balance within his or her program consonant with hisor her stated objectives. The remaining coursesshould be of an interdisciplinary nature from thedepartments in geological, biological, and marinesciences, engineering, chemistry, mathematics,physics, and others which the student and thecommittee feel are pertinent to the student’sprogram.

About half the total credits should be taken incourses oriented toward the engineering aspects offluid dynamics. The remainder of the program shouldconsist of related courses preferably in two or moresupporting areas considered appropriate in thestudent’s objectives. These may include any coursesin solid mechanics, including continuum mechanics,elasticity, plasticity, vibrations and structural or soilmechanics; also any courses in thermodynamics, heattransfer, power plants, process dynamics or reactionkinetics. Related courses in electrical engineeringcould include those in field theor y, networks,computer science, and systems. Fundamental studiesin chemistry, mathematics, physics, and statisticsconstitute an important part of the related coursework.

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

GEOGRAPHYDepartment Head: Professor Dean HaninkProfessors: Berentsen, E. Cromley, R. Cromley, and

MacKinnonAssociate Professors: Cooke and ViasAssistant Professor: Daniels

The Department of Geography offers a programleading to the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees. The master’sprogram provides study of the theory and methodsof analysis of human and physical features of theearth’s surface. Students take a small number of corecourses in research methods and design, and selectan area of specialization for the remainder of theircourse work. Examples of common specializationsinclude geographic information systems (GIS) andcomputer graphics, environmental management andplanning, and urban and regional analysis. Otherspecializations in areas of the faculty’s expertise arepossible. Students, working with their advisors, have agood opportunity to select courses which best fit theirintellectual interests and professional needs.

Candidates for the M.A. may pursue either PlanA, completion of twenty-four credits of course work(exclusive of any credits earned for GRAD 395, 396, or397) and a thesis, including its oral defense; or Plan B,completion of thirty credits of course work (exclusiveof any credits earned for GRAD 395, 396, or 397), ascholarly research paper, and a comprehensive finalexamination assessing mastery of the field and theability to integrate the knowledge acquired. Theprogram of course work for all students consists oftwo parts: (1) a required core, and (2) electiveadvanced course work. All students in the programare expected to complete a proseminar and threerequired courses covering an introduction to GIS,research design, and quantitative methods. Thequantitative methods requirement may be fulfilled bycompleting one of the following: (1) GEOG 342; (2)GEOG 343; or (3) GEOG 242 and either GEOG 333or GEOG 382. Elective advanced course work isselected from Geography Department offerings inrelated areas including GIS, regional analysis andpolicy, physical environmental systems, and urban andsocial analysis. Students are encouraged to selectcourses from related disciplines such as Economics,Civil Engineering, Geology, and Natural ResourcesManagement and Engineering.

For Ph.D. students, required course workconsists of the methodological core of one courseeach in GIS, spatial statistics, research design andthe development of geographic thought. Thesubstantive core consists of six credits in 400’s-level Geography courses not including GEOG 413or GEOG 415. To ensure adequate preparationfor teaching, all students take a one-creditpracticum course, GEOG 415, with a facultymember who has regular teaching responsibilitiesin the appropriate area. Finally, the studentcompletes at least 12 credits of additionalgraduate-level course work in a cognate area inGeography and at least six credits of course workfrom a related field outside the department.

The dissertation topic is chosen by the student andmajor advisor, in consultation with the advisorycommittee. After the appropriate course work has beencompleted, a general examination with both written and

oral sections is administered. The written section of theexamination is given first. The oral section is given nolater than two weeks after the conclusion of the writtensection and only to students who have passed the writtenportion of the general examination. Doctoral degreestudents must submit a dissertation proposal forapproval.

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. The Certificate Program is designedto recognize completion of a focused set of courses forgraduate students and other professionals seeking ex-pertise in the field of Geographic Information Systems(GIS). GIS are computer systems for integrating andanalyzing spatial data. These systems, and the sciencebehind their development and use, are the topics cov-ered in the required coursework. GIS and related tech-nologies are used in a wide range of applications in thepublic and private sectors. The elective coursework pro-vides students with the opportunity for graduate studyin fields where GIS are used.

The Certificate is earned upon the completion oftwelve credits of coursework beyond the B.A. or B.S.degree. Students in the Certificate Program arerequired to complete Geography 301 and Geography303, plus additional courses in Geography or a relatedfield. The additional courses must be taken at thegraduate (300 or 400) level. The exception is NRME238 which is accepted for credit. A student’s program ofstudy for the Certificate may include only one coursenumbered Geography 325. Students develop a programof study with the assistance and approval of the CertificateProgram Coordinator. To earn the Certificate, a studentmust pass all courses counted toward the Certificate witha grade of B- or better in each course and an overall GPAfor the 12 credits of 3.0 or greater. All coursework forthe Certificate must be completed at the University ofConnecticut.

Application to the GIS Certificate Program is madethrough the Graduate School of the University ofConnecticut. Students applying for admission to oralready enrolled in a graduate degree program inGeography or another field of study at the University ofConnecticut may apply for admission to the CertificateProgram. Non-degree students may also apply for theprogram. All students applying for admission to theCertificate Program must have a B.A. or B.S. degree froman accredited institution. Official transcripts and apersonal statement of interest in the program must besubmitted with the application. Information on theGraduate Certificate in Geographic Information Systemscan be obtained from Graduate Certificate ProgramCoordinator, Department of Geography Unit 4148,University of Connecticut, Storrs, Connecticut 06269-4148.

The Department of History offers study leading tothe degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor ofPhilosophy. Master’s students have flexibility inselecting courses in accordance with their interestsand professional goals. Doctoral students mayundertake work in four broad areas: medievalEuropean, modern European, United States, and LatinAmerican history. Students also have the opportunityto enroll in related courses of fered by otherdepartments.

Admission to the M.A. Program. Threeletters of recommendation, preferably frommembers of the academic profession, along with awriting sample and personal statement from the applicant,are required. Graduate Record Examinations scoreson the General Tests also are required. Applicantswishing to begin the program in the fall semester mustsubmit their applications and all supportingdocuments before April 15; applicants for financial aidshould submit all materials by January 15. Applicantswishing to begin in the spring semester must submittheir applications before November 1. Applicants areexpected to have adequate preparation (a minimumof twenty-one credits of history above the freshmanlevel, including courses in both United States andEuropean history), an average of at least B inundergraduate history courses, and preparation inrelated fields of the social sciences and humanities.

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 as requiredof an applicant to the master’s program. New doctoralstudents are expected to begin full-time study duringthe year for which they are admitted.

Students pursuing the doctorate with an area ofconcentration in medieval or modern Europeanhistory must demonstrate their reading competencein two European languages. Students in United Statesand Latin American history as well as those emphasizingmodern British history must demonstrate readingcompetence in at least one foreign language. Additionalcompetency may be required by the major advisor,depending on the student’s research area.

Applicants admitted with a master’s degree areexpected to submit evidence of proficiency in at leastone foreign language early in their first semester ofwork. The entire language requirement must becompleted before a student takes the generalexamination.

MEDIEVAL STUDIESInterdisciplinary work leading to the degrees ofMaster of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy in medievalstudies is offered by the Departments of Art, English,History, Modern and Classical Languages, andPhilosophy. Since the program in medieval studies isintended to provide a synthesis of broad areas ofmedieval culture and thought as a basis forconstructive research in specialized aspects of culturaland intellectual history, students normally arerequired to include in their programs courses offeredby the supporting departments.

Admission to Degree Programs. TheMedieval Studies Admissions Committee acceptsstudents either to the master’s or Ph.D. program. Anundergraduate 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 the degreeof Master of Arts in medieval studies may beundertaken under either Plan A (with thesis) or PlanB (without thesis). In either case, course work inmedieval studies should be distributed among severaldepartments, and the student’s advisory committeeis composed of representat ives 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 requirements forthe doctorate, reading examinations in three foreignlanguages, normally French, German, and Latin, arerequired of all students in the program. It is expectedthat the student will pass these examinationsimmediately upon admission and in no case later thanthe end of the first year of study in the Ph.D. program.The student’s advisory committee will consist ofrepresentatives of three dif ferent cooperatingdepartments.

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

Support. University Predoctoral Fellowships andgraduate assistantships for teaching or research areavailable through cooperating departments forqualified students in the medieval studies program.Other support available for graduate students isdescribed under “University Fellowships and OtherAid.”

The goal of the graduate program in Metallurgy andMaterials Engineering, through its coursework andresearch programs, is to provide students with acomprehensive understanding of modern materials andto prepare for positions of leadership in engineering,research and development. Graduate instruction isoffered which leads to the degrees of Master of Scienceand Doctor of Philosophy. Degree candidates canundertake study in the field of Metallurgy and MaterialsEngineering or in areas within the field of MaterialsScience such as biomaterials (see also the programdescription under “Materials Science”). Emphasis isplaced on the relationships between the structure andproperties of engineering materials, thermodynamicsof materials, phase equilibria, mechanical behavior,electronic behavior and microstructural characterization.The main aspects of these subjects are covered in 6designated core courses (see the descriptions for coursesMMAT 301, 305, 309, 311, 317 and 322 below). Severalother departments in the University offer courses inrelated disciplines, and students are encouraged toinclude one or more of these courses in their plans ofstudy.

Requirements for the M.S. There are no specialrequirements for the admission to the master’s programbeyond those of the Graduate School. Selection of PlanA (thesis) or Plan B (course work) is made afterconsultation with the advisory committee. Students arerequired to complete 3 of the 6 graduate core courses aspart of their coursework requirements.

Requirements for the Ph.D. Admission to thedoctoral program is based upon a careful assessment ofthe students potential for creative research in metallurgyand materials engineering. Applicants for this programwill normally have first completed an outstandingmaster’s degree program. Students are required tocomplete all 6 of the graduate core courses as part oftheir coursework requirements, and to pass a GeneralExamination based on these topics.

Special Facilities . The Depar tment ofMetallurgy and Materials Engineering is housed withinthe Institute of Materials Science. A comprehensiverange of modern research equipment is available,including facilities for melting and casting of alloys,mechanical processing and heat treating, mechanicaltesting, electrical testing, processing and testing ofceramics and composites, transmission electronmicroscopes, scanning electron microscopes, x-raydif fraction apparatus, surface analysis equipment,thermal analysis equipment, and extensive spectrometryfacilities (nuclear magnetic resonance, infra-red / Ramanand ultra-violet).

Adjunct Assistant Professors: Bow and Xu

Programs leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees inPharmaceutical Science are offered in these areas: (1)Medicinal Chemistr y, (2) Neurosciences, (3)Pharmaceutics, and (4) Pharmacology and Toxicology.These programs make full use of courses offered bydepartments in such areas as organic, analytical, andphysical chemistry; biochemistry; molecular and cellbiology; neurobiology; biophysics; physiology;statistics; mathematics; microbiology; pathology; andmaterials science. A brief description and a statementof objectives for each program area are offered below.

Medicinal Chemistry. Medicinal chemistsinvestigate the structural features responsible for thebiological activity of drug molecules. To this end theydesign and synthesize new potentially active drugs.They also study the molecular mechanisms of drugaction using 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. Furthermore, they are interestedin modifying drug structures to assist in targeting andto facilitate transport. Although their major concernis with chemistry, medicinal chemists must be alsofamiliar with the pharmacological and biochemicalsystems on which the drug molecules act.

The M.S. (Plan A) and the Ph.D. are offered in thearea of medicinal chemistry. A strong background inchemistry is essential for admission. Required coursework varies with the background and interests of thestudent. This includes advanced courses in medicinalchemistry as well as courses from the followingdisciplines: organic, physical, and biophysicalchemistry; spectroscopy; biophysics; biochemistry;

165

molecular biology; pharmacology; microbiology.Neurosciences. This is an interdisciplinar y

area of concentrat ion that comprises theNeurosciences Program at Storrs. Neuroscience isconcerned with the molecular, cellular, and behavioralcharacteristics of the nervous system and theirrelation to the adaptive physiology of the organism.Students in this program may approach the fullrange of neuroscience studies through courses andresearch using a variety of model systems. Particularstrengths include analysis of neural development,memory encoding, neurodegenerative processes,and repair mechanisms. This area of concentrationis of fered in the fields of study of pharmaceuticalscience, physiology and neurobiology, andpsychology. Application is made to the preferredfield of study, but the applicant must be acceptableto the Neurosciences Committee.

Pharmaceutics. Pharmaceutics deals with thosefactors bearing on the design of drug deliverysystems that are safe and efficacious. The necessaryconcern with such factors as the stability of the drugmolecule in a multitude of environments, the releaseof the drug from various dosage forms, surface andcolloid chemistry, and the subsequent absorption,metabolism, and excretion of the drug requires adiversified educational and research experience.Faculty interests and graduate plans of study mayemphasize kinetics, thermodynamics, transportphenomena, biopharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics,biopharmaceutics of proteins, and biotechnology.Moreover, each of these exposures entails anemphasis on quantitative appraisals which demandgrounding in advanced mathematics. While individualdissertation problems usually are sharply focused, theoverall thr ust of the graduate program inpharmaceutics is the education of a generalist in drugdelivery systems.

The M.S. (Plan A) and the Ph.D. are offered in theconcentration of pharmaceutics. In particular, coursework in advanced pharmaceutics, physical chemistry,and mathematics is required.

Pharmacology and Toxicology. Scholarlylaboratory research and the education of graduatestudents in all aspects of drug and chemical actionare paramount activities of the pharmacology andtoxicology faculty. Therapeutic, immunological,and toxic reactions to drugs and chemicals and theirphysiological and biochemical mechanisms of actionare emphasized in this program. Emphasis is alsoplaced in the areas of biochemical toxicology,inhalation toxicology, neuropharmacology, moleculartoxicology, molecular pharmacology on nuclearreceptors, hepatotoxicology, and immunology. ThePh.D. is o f fered in the concentrat ion ofpharmacology and toxicology. For admission to thegraduate program, a strong background in biologyas well as proficiency in chemistry, mathematics,and physics are essential. Course requirements forthe Ph.D. degree are individualized, althoughadvanced courses in pharmacology, physiology, andbiochemistry are uniformly required.

Special Facilities. The Department has well-equipped laboratories in diverse research areas.Equipment available includes ultra-violet, F.T.infrared, dual wavelength, and fluorescencespectrophotometers , l iqu id sc in t i l l a t ionspectrometers, analytical and preparative gas-

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

Kupperman, Meyers, and WheelerAssociate Professors: Beall, Bontly, Hiskes, Lynch, and

TroyerAssistant Professors: Bloomfield and Ryder

The Department of Philosophy offers study leadingto the degree of Master of Arts and Doctor ofPhilosophy. Courses of study typically focus onphilosophy of psychology and mind or on philosophy ofsocial phenomena and ethics, but also can be built aroundphilosophy of language, metaphysics, or history ofphilosophy. The instruction is broad enough to makestudents versatile undergraduate instructors, andconcentrated enough to enable students to do significantresearch.

Students are able to work closely with the facultyat every stage of progress from the initial constructionof a plan of study to the completion of a dissertation.In this way, the work can be guided toward that aspectof philosophy that is of most interest to the studentand also provide the student with a sound backgroundin the field. First year students must satisfy a formallogic requirement, normally by taking Philosophy 307.First year students also should take Philosophy 301(unless they have a strong background in contemporaryanalytic philosophy) and Philosophy 302 (unless theyhave a strong background in moral theory and meta-ethics).

Admission . After reviewing the basicrequirements for admission to the Graduate School,applicants should present to the PhilosophyDepartment their scores for the General Test of theGraduate 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. TheDepartment generally offers only Plan B (non-thesis)for the M.A.

The Ph.D. Program. The Ph.D. degree requiresa minimum of eight graduate seminars beyond theM.A. level. Students who enroll in the Ph.D. programwith an M.A. from another institution are reviewedafter one year. A student may meet the Ph.D. languagerequirement by passing examinations in two foreignlanguages, usually French and German, or by passingan examination in one of these languages andcompleting either a six-credit Related Area, or,alternatively, six credits of advanced logic beyond thelevel of Philosophy 307.

The General Examination normally is taken withinone year of the completion of course work. TheGeneral Examination is in three parts: 1) Metaphysicsand Epistemology (three hours), 2) Social and PoliticalPhilosophy and Ethics (three hours), and 3) Historyof Philosophy (three hours).

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

Special Facilities. The holdings of the HomerBabbidge Librar y are adequate for the pursuit of

scholarly research in most fields of philosophy. TheLibrary subscribes to all major philosophical journalsand has a complete collection of past issues of mostjournals. The Department conducts informal weeklyseminars at which members discuss current research withtheir colleagues. It runs a program of colloquia featuringdistinguished philosophers from around the country, andpresents the yearly Ruth Evelyn Parcells Lecture inethics.

Admission to the Master of Arts DegreeProgram. All applicants are required to take theGraduate Record Examinations. Only those applicantsshowing high scholastic promise are admitted. Usually,an undergraduate major in political science (or anequivalent body of course work) is required foradmission, However, exceptions are made forpromising candidates who have majored in relatedsubjects. Some undergraduate work in history,economics, and sociology also is desirable. Exceptwhere the M.A. degree clearly is intended to be aterminal degree, the admissions committee isreluctant to act favorably in the case of an applicantwhose record shows no successful academic exposureto one or more foreign languages.

Requirements for the Master’s Degree. Afterfulfilling the requirements for the master’s degree, afinal examination is administered. The finalexamination for the M.A. degree is both written andoral.

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 recommendation of the committeeadministering 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 the GraduateRecord Examinations.

Departmental Requirements for the Ph.D.Degree. The Ph.D. program involves two distinctstages. Doctoral students first prepare for acomprehensive written and oral general examination.After passing this examination, they devotethemselves to research and the writing of adissertation. All doctoral students must prepare in twoof the following areas: international relations,comparative politics, American politics, publicadministration, public law, public policy, public opinion/survey research, and political theory. As part of the Ph.D.general examination process, the student isexpected to present a dissertation proposal thatis considered by the advisor y committee to beready to defend.

All doctoral students are required to take, as earlyin their program as possible, Political Science 393,Political Science 395, and Political Science 396.

Ph.D. students are required to have a competentreading knowledge of at least one foreign language

The Department of Statistics offers work leading tothe M.S. and Ph.D. degrees, as well as courses inapplied statistics in support of graduate programs inother fields. The M.S. program combines training inboth statistical application and theory. To broadentheir view of the use of statistics, candidates for themaster’s degree are required to enroll in at least onecourse involving the application of statistics offeredby any other depar tment on campus exceptComputer Science and Mathematics. In addition,students are encouraged to become involved in thestatistical consultation work done by members of theDepartment. The doctoral program also provides abalance between statistical methods and theory. Itemphasizes the development of the ability to createnew results in statistical methods, statistical theory,or probability. After completing the necessary coursework and a sequence of comprehensive written andoral examinations, the Ph.D. student must write adissertation representing an original contribution tothe field of statistics or probability. It is possible forthe dissertation to be predominantly a developmentof statistical methodology in new areas of application.Both the M.S. and Ph.D. programs allow studentssufficient flexibility to pursue their interests and toprovide the time to take courses of fered by otherdepartments.

There are no official course requirements foradmission to graduate study in the Department, but adegree of mathematical facility is necessar y foracceptable progress through the program.

The Department of Statistics is housed in theCollege of Liberal Arts and Sciences Building. Extensivecomputational facilities are available through threeoperating systems: Linux, Unix, and PC-Based NT. TheHomer Babbidge Library provides excellent coverageof current and past issues of statistics journals as wellas books in this field. There is also a separatedepartmental library.

WOMEN’S STUDIESProgram Director: Dr. Marita McComiskeyCore Faculty: S.P. Benson, M. Breen, M. Crawford, A.

D’Alleva, F. Dussart, V. Makowsky, D. Meyers,and N. Naples

In virtually every field of university study, scholarship onwomen and gender has become increasingly influentialbecause of its path-breaking theoretical perspectives andits empirical findings. The programs of virtually everyprofessional association testify to the vitality and presenceof feminist research.

The Women’s Studies Graduate Certificate at theUniversity of Connecticut can be earned by studentsenrolled in a graduate degree program, or as a stand-alone certificate for those who have completed theirundergraduate degree.

Although feminist scholarship may be available inother disciplines, Women’s Studies offers a concentratedperspective and in-depth analysis. The graduatecertificate enables students to pursue interdisciplinarystudy in this flourishing field while enhancing theireducational background by encouraging the integrationof personal, academic and political experiences and ideals.

Because the program is interdisciplinary andstudents will approach the certificate from a range ofhome fields and with widely varying preparation, allcertificate plans of study will be individualized. Eachcertificate candidate combines the study of Women’sStudies theory and methodology, either through currentstudy or prior preparation. The core faculty of theWomen’s Studies Program will act as advisors to certificatestudents; careful advising will ensure that each student’sprogram has the appropriate interdisciplinary breadthand fits appropriately with her/his other course workand professional needs.

All Women’s Studies certificate plans of study mustinclude work in more than one department and must beapproved by the Program Director or her designee, whowill coordinate the certificate program.

The requirements for the Graduate Certificate inWomen’s Studies follow:1. For non-degree students:

Open to students with a bachelor’s degree uponapproval of the Women’s Studies GraduateStudy Committee.Requires 12 hours of course work, of which atleast nine hours must be at the 300 level orabove, including:

Philosophy 352 – Feminist TheoryWomen’s Studies 365 – Women’s StudiesResearch Methodology

Not more than one Women’s Studies 390 maybe applied to the certificate.

2. For students enrolled in existing graduateprograms:Open to students enrolled in any UConngraduate program.Requires 12 hours of course work, of which atleast nine hours must be at the 300 level orabove.Not more than one Women’s Studies 390 maybe applied to the certificate.

Application forms for both options may be obtainedfrom the Women’s Studies Program office.

209

Courses applicable to the Graduate Certificate inWomen’s Studies include many advanced 200-levelWomen’s Studies courses and the following graduate-level Women’s Studies courses as well as a variety ofcourses in Anthropology, English, French, History,Human Development and Family Studies, Philosophy,Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology. Eachsemester the Women’s Studies Program publishes alist of the applicable courses to be offered in thefollowing semester.

APPENDIXACADEMIC INTEGRITY INGRADUATE EDUCATION

AND RESEARCH

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 ar tisticexpression. 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 purviewof the Dean of Students.

The Dean of the Graduate School is chargedwith responsibility for coordinating the process bywhich an allegation of academic misconduct on thep a r t o f a graduate s tudent i s r epor ted ,investigated, and adjudicated. The GraduateFaculty Council, in accordance with the provisionsof its By-Laws, is responsible for the formulationof policies and procedures pertaining to any andall matters of academic integrity in graduateeducation and research and to proper handling ofallegations of violations. Members of the GraduateFaculty have primar y responsibility to promoteand to sustain throughout the University anenvironment in which the highest ethical standardsof teaching, scholarship, research, and publicationprevail. All members of the University communityhave a responsibility to uphold the higheststandards of teaching, scholarship, research, andpublication and to report any violation of academicintegrity of which 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 during a course(e.g., on a final examination), on an exami-nation required for a particular degree (e.g.,the doctoral General Examination, the FinalExamination for the master’s or the doctoraldegree, or a foreign language translation

test), or at other times during graduatestudy.

PLAGIARISM involves taking the thoughts,words, or ideas of others and passing themof f as one’s own.

MISREPRESENTATION could involve, forexample, taking an examination for anotherstudent; submitting for evaluation workdone by another individual; submitting thesame work for evaluation in two or morecourses without prior approval; unautho-rized use of previously completed scholarlywork or research for a thesis, dissertation,or publication; or making false, inaccurate,or misleading claims or statements whenapplying for admission to the GraduateSchool or in any scholarly or research activ-ity, including publication.

UNAUTHORIZED POSSESSION, USE, ORDESTRUCTION OF ACADEMIC OR RE-SEARCH MATERIALS, which include, forexample, examinations, librar y materials,laborator y or research supplies or equip-ment, research data, notebooks, or com-puter files.

COMPUTER VIOLATIONS include but maynot be limited to unauthorized use, tamper-ing, sabotage, or piracy of computer filesor data and the like.

FABRICATION OR FALSIFICATION INRESEARCH could involve, for example, de-liberate falsification of experimental resultsor tampering in any way with actual experi-mental results or research data.

RESEARCH VIOLATIONS involving, forexample, human subject violations (includ-ing ethical and social violations), animal careviolations, inappropriate breaches of confi-dentiality, deliberate obstruction of the re-search progress of another individual, or de-liberate disregard for applicable University,local, State, or federal regulations.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST such as, forexample, unauthorized use of University orfaculty academic or research facilities, ma-terials, or resources for unapproved pur-poses; or allowing or attempting to use per-sonal relationships (academic or otherwise)between a graduate student and any mem-ber of the University community to influ-ence improperly academic judgments, schol-arly evaluations, or decision making.

TAMPERING with any document or com-puter file per taining to academics or re-search, including, for example, student aca-demic records, official transcripts, labora-tory journals, examination papers, and thelike.

ANY ATTEMPT TO INFLUENCE IMPROP-ERLY, for example, by means of bribery orthreat, any member of the faculty, the staff,or the administration of the University inany matter pertaining to academics or re-search.

AIDING OR ABETTING another individualin the planning or the commission of any actof academic misconduct.

ANY IMPROPRIETY OR ACT OF MISCON-DUCT COMMITTED BY A GRADUATESTUDENT IN A TEACHING ROLE in theUniversity, such as requesting or acceptinga favor in exchange for a grade or engagingin any form of sexual harassment.

DELIBERATE OBSTRUCTION of an inves-tigation of any act of academic or researchmisconduct.

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 instructor 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 portions 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 orother materials to the student. Copies of thestudent’s work and information about otherevidence will be provided to the student uponrequest.

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 areport 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 Of fice of the Deanof the Graduate School for a hearing to determinethe facts of the alleged misconduct.

C. ALLEGATIONS OF ACADEMIC MISCONDUCTThe following procedures apply in most instances

231

where academic misconduct is alleged. In somecases, misconduct may be alleged for students whoare 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 thefederal government will prevail, including use ofthe University’s policy and procedures for reviewof alleged 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 par ticularfields may be relevant in cer tain settings (e.g.,clinical, counseling, therapeutic, etc.). Allegationsof professional misconduct based on suchstandards may be brought for ward under thiscode.

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 with thehearing and appeal procedures contained hereinor whether the alleged violation should berefer red to the f ie ld o f s tudy, academicdepar tment, school or college in which theinfraction is thought to have occurred. (Such adetermination will also be made when an accusedstudent, pursuant to section B, requests ahearing.)

If the alleged violation is referred to the fieldof study, academic department, school or college,then it will be addressed and resolved in accordancewith the applicable hearing and appeal proceduresfollowed by that particular unit. The Office of theDean of the Graduate School will notify theaccused in writing of this determination. In theevent that the alleged violation is referred to thefield of study, academic department, school orcollege, the Of fice 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 ting

evidence. 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 insuf ficient evidence toproceed with an inquiry, the matter is dropped. Ifthe allegation(s) can be suppor ted, and ifsuf ficient evidence exists to warrant an inquir y,the Of fice of the Dean of the Graduate Schoolnotifies the appropriate Associate Dean (eitherthe Associate Dean of the Graduate School atStorrs or the Associate Dean of the GraduateSchool at the Health Center). The Of fice alsonotifies the accused by Cer tified Mail of thecharge(s). A copy of this Code is sent with theletter of notification to inform the accused of hisor her rights and of the hearing and appealsprocedures to be followed. The Office also notifiesthe Dean of the school or college in which thealleged misconduct occurred of the charges.

D. GRADUATE HEARING COMMIT-TEE

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 (Storrs 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 notbe bound by the procedures and rules of evidenceof a court of law. The Committee’s decision is tobe made by majority vote and is to be based onclear and convincing evidence submitted at thehearing, 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 ac-cuser, and rebuttal of evidence.

5. Presentation of evidence by the ac-cused student. Evidence includeswritten statements, testimony of theaccused student, oral testimony ofwitnesses, 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 the ac-cused 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 hearing.Refusal to appear shall not be inter-preted as evidence of guilt. The hear-ing panel will consider the evidencein the absence of the accused stu-dent.

3. May be advised for consultation pur-poses during the hearing. Thestudent’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 responsiblefor graduate academic misconduct, then noacademic consequence may be imposed and thecase is considered officially 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. TheDean will examine the record of the hearing andwill weigh the severity of the recommendedsanction(s) against the seriousness of thestudent’s misconduct. The Dean then will meet withthe student 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.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY IN GRADUATE EDUCATION AND RESEARCH


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 hearingprocedure. Appeals on such groundsmust be presented, specifically de-scribed, in writing within five days(excluding weekends and holidays)of the 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 must bepresented, specifically described, inwriting 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 undergraduate degree or anundergraduate certificate student.
