THE GRADUATE SCHOOL
ORGANIZATION AND HISTORY
The Graduate School consists of the dean, two associate
deans, the Graduate Council, and the graduate faculty.
General policies and standards of the Graduate School
are established by the graduate faculty. Any policy
change must be approved by the graduate deans and the
Graduate Council. The Graduate School is responsible
for the enforcement of minimum general standards of
graduate work in the University and for the coordination
of the graduate programs of the various colleges and divi-
sions of the University. The responsibility for the detailed
operations of graduate programs is vested in the indi-
vidual colleges, schools, divisions, and departments. In
most of the colleges an assistant dean or other official is
directly responsible for graduate study in that college.
The Graduate Council assists the dean in being the agent
of the graduate faculty for execution of policy related to
graduate study and associated research. The Council,
which is chaired by the graduate dean, considers peti-
tions and policy changes. Members of the graduate
faculty, who are appointed by the dean with the approval
of the Graduate Council, fall into two categories in
accordance with their function: the Graduate Studies
Faculty (GSF), who are appointed to teach graduate
courses and to direct master's theses, and the Doctoral
Research Faculty (DRF), who are appointed in addition
to direct doctoral dissertations. No faculty member may
perform any of these functions without having been
appointed to the graduate faculty, though temporary
exceptions may be made in unusual circumstances.
In the beginning the organization of graduate study was
very informal. Control was in the hands of a faculty com-
mittee which reported directly to the President. In 1910,
however, James N. Anderson, Head of the Department of
Ancient Languages, was appointed Dean of the College of
Arts and Sciences and Director of Graduate Work, and in
1930 he became the first Dean of the Graduate School.
He was succeeded upon his retirement in 1938 by T. M.
Simpson, Head of the Department of Mathematics, who
held the position until 1951. C. F. Byers, Head of the
Department of Biological Sciences in the University
College, served as Acting Dean from June 1951 until
August 1952 when he was succeeded by L. E. Grinter,
who came from the Illinois Institute of Technology,
where he had been Vice President, Dean of the Graduate
School, and Research Professor. Upon becoming Acting
Vice President in 1969, Dr. Grinter was named Dean
Emeritus of the Graduate School. He was succeeded by
Harold P. Hanson, who came to Florida from the Univer-
sity of Texas, where he had served as Chairman of the De-
partment of Physics. In 1971, Dr. Hanson was appointed
Vice President for Academic Affairs. Alexander G. Smith
of the Department of Physics and Astronomy and a former
assistant dean of the Graduate School served as Acting
Dean until the appointment of Harry H. Sisler. Dr. Sisler
served as Chairman of the Department of Chemistry, Dean
of the College of Arts and Sciences, and Executive Vice
President of the University of Florida prior to being
named Dean of the Graduate School in March 1973. In
September 1979, Dr. Sisler returned to teaching as
Distinguished Service Professor of Chemistry. F. Michael
Wahl, Associate Dean of the Graduate School, Associate
Director of Sponsored Research, and Professor of
Geology, served as Acting Dean until the appointment of
Francis G. Stehli in June 1980.
SDr. Stehli came to Florida from Case Western Reserve
University where he had served as Samuel St. John
Professor of Geology, Chairman of the Department of
Geology, and Dean of Science and Engineering. In Sep-
tember 1982, Dr. Stehli became Dean of the College of
Geosciences at the University of Oklahoma. Donald R.
Price, Associate Dean for Research and Professor of Agri-
cultural Engineering, served as Acting Dean from January
1983 to January 1985 when Madelyn M. Lockhart
became Dean of the Graduate School. Prior to her
appointment, Dr. Lockhart served as Associate Dean of
the Graduate School and Professor of Economics. She
began a dual appointment as Dean of the Graduate
School and Dean of International Studies and Programs
in June 1985.
Graduate study at the University of Florida existed
while the University was still on its Lake City campus.
However, the first graduate degrees-two Master of Arts
with a major in English and a Master of Science with a
major in entomology-were awarded on the Gainesville
campus in 1906. The first programs leading to the Ph.D.
were initiated in 1930, and the first degrees were
awarded in 1934, one with a major in chemistry and the
other with a major in pharmacy. The first Ed.D. was
awarded in 1948. Graduate study has had a phenomenal
growth at the University of Florida. In 1930, 33 degrees
were awarded in 12 fields. In 1940, 66 degrees were
awarded in 16 fields. In 1985-86 the total number of
graduate degrees awarded was 1,472 in more than 100
fields. The proportion of doctoral degrees has increased
steadily. In 1950, 18 Ph.D.s and 5 Ed.D.s were awarded.
In 1985-86 the total was 276 Ph.D.s and 16 Ed.D.s.

very informal. Control was in the hands of a faculty com-
mittee which reported directly to the President. In 1910,
however, James N. Anderson, Head of the Department of
Ancient Languages, was appointed Dean of the College of
Arts and Sciences and Director of Graduate Work, and in
1930 he became the first Dean of the Graduate School.
He was succeeded upon his retirement in 1938 by T. M.
Simpson, Head of the Department of Mathematics, who
held the position until 1951. C. F. Byers, Head of the
Department of Biological Sciences in the University
College, served as Acting Dean from June 1951 until
August 1952 when he was succeeded by L. E. Grinter,
who came from the Illinois Institute of Technology,
where he had been Vice President, Dean of the Graduate
School, and Research Professor. Upon becoming Acting
Vice President in 1969, Dr. Grinter was named Dean
Emeritus of the Graduate School. He was succeeded by
Harold P. Hanson, who came to Florida from the Univer-
sity of Texas, where he had served as Chairman of the De-
partment of Physics. In 1971, Dr. Hanson was appointed
Vice President for Academic Affairs. Alexander G. Smith
of the Department of Physics and Astronomy and a former
assistant dean of the Graduate School served as Acting
Dean until the appointment of Harry H. Sisler. Dr. Sisler
served as Chairman of the Department of Chemistry, Dean
of the College of Arts and Sciences, and Executive Vice
President of the University of Florida prior to being
named Dean of the Graduate School in March 1973. In
September 1979, Dr. Sisler returned to teaching as
Distinguished Service Professor of Chemistry. F. Michael
Wahl, Associate Dean of the Graduate School, Associate
Director of Sponsored Research, and Professor of
Geology, served as Acting Dean until the appointment of
Francis G. Stehli in June 1980.
SDr. Stehli came to Florida from Case Western Reserve
University where he had served as Samuel St. John
Professor of Geology, Chairman of the Department of
Geology, and Dean of Science and Engineering. In Sep-
tember 1982, Dr. Stehli became Dean of the College of
Geosciences at the University of Oklahoma. Donald R.
Price, Associate Dean for Research and Professor of Agri-
cultural Engineering, served as Acting Dean from January
1983 to January 1985 when Madelyn M. Lockhart
became Dean of the Graduate School. Prior to her
appointment, Dr. Lockhart served as Associate Dean of
the Graduate School and Professor of Economics. She
began a dual appointment as Dean of the Graduate
School and Dean of International Studies and Programs
in June 1985.
Graduate study at the University of Florida existed
while the University was still on its Lake City campus.
However, the first graduate degrees-two Master of Arts
with a major in English and a Master of Science with a
major in entomology-were awarded on the Gainesville
campus in 1906. The first programs leading to the Ph.D.
were initiated in 1930, and the first degrees were
awarded in 1934, one with a major in chemistry and the
other with a major in pharmacy. The first Ed.D. was
awarded in 1948. Graduate study has had a phenomenal
growth at the University of Florida. In 1930, 33 degrees
were awarded in 12 fields. In 1940, 66 degrees were
awarded in 16 fields. In 1985-86 the total number of
graduate degrees awarded was 1,472 in more than 100
fields. The proportion of doctoral degrees has increased
steadily. In 1950, 18 Ph.D.s and 5 Ed.D.s were awarded.
In 1985-86 the total was 276 Ph.D.s and 16 Ed.D.s.

ADMISSION TO THE
GRADUATE SCHOOL
Application for Admission.-Admission forms and
information concerning admission procedures may be
obtained from the Registrar and Admissions Office, 135
Tigert Hall. Prospective students are urged to apply for
admission as early.as possible. For some departments
deadlines for receipt of admission applications may be
earlier than those stated in the current University
Calendar; prospective students should check with the
appropriate department. Applications which meet mini-
mum standards are referred to the graduate selection
committees of the various colleges and departments for
approval or disapproval.
To be admitted to graduate study in a given depart-
ment, the prospective student must satisfy the re-
quirements of the department as well as those of the
Graduate School. In some departments, available
resources limit the number of students that can be
admitted.
General Requirements.-The Graduate School,
University of Florida, requires both a minimum grade
average of B for all upper-division undergraduate work
and a minimum Verbal-Quantitative total score of 1000
on the Aptitude Test of the Graduate Record Examin-
ation. For some departments, and in more advanced
levels of graduate study, undergraduate averages or
Graduate Record Examination scores above those stated
for the Graduate School may be required. These criteria
are on file in the Office of the Graduate School. Some
colleges and departments require a reading knowledge
of at least one foreign language. Exceptions to the above
requirements are made only when these and other crite-
ria including letters of recommendation are reviewed by
the department, recommended by the department, and
approved by the Dean of the Graduate School.
Direct admission to the Graduate School is dependent
upon the presentation of a baccalaureate degree from an
accredited college or university. No application will be
considered unless the complete official transcript of all
the applicant's undergraduate and graduate work is in
the possession of the Registrar, and no transcript will be
accepted as official unless it is received directly from the
registrar of the institution in which the work is done.
Official supplementary transcripts are required as soon as
they are available for any work completed after appli-
cation for admission has been made. In general, no
student who is a graduate of a nonaccredited institution
will be considered for graduate study in any unit of the
University.
The Board of Regents has also ruled that in admitting
students for a given academic year, up to 10% may be
admitted as exceptions. Students admitted as exceptions
6 / GENERAL INFORMATION
under the 10% waiver rule must present both an upper-
division grade point average and Graduate Record
Examination Aptitude Test Score with their applications
and meet other criteria required by the University,
including excellent letters of recommendation from
colleagues, satisfactory performance in a specified
number of graduate courses taken as postbaccalaureate
students, and/or practical experience in the discipline for
a specified period of time.
The University encourages applications from qualified
applicants of both sexes from all cultural, racial,
religious,. and ethnic groups. The University does not
discriminate on the basis of handicap or age in admission
or access to its programs and activities.
ADMISSIONS EXAMINATIONS
Graduate Record Examination.-In addition to the
Aptitude Test of the Graduate Record Examination which
is required of all applicants, some departments encour-
age the applicant to submit scores on one or more
advanced subject tests of the Graduate Record Exam-
ination. The scores on all tests taken will be considered
in regard to admission.
Graduate Study in Business Administration.-Students
applying for admission to the Graduate School for study
in the College of Business Administration may substitute
satisfactory scores on the Graduate Management Admis-
sion Test (GMAT) for the Graduate Record Examination.
Students applying for admission to the Master of Business
Administration (MBA) program must submit satisfactory
scores on the GMAT. Applicants should contact the Edu-
cational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey, for addi-
tional information.
Graduate Study in Law.-Students applying to the
graduate program leading to the degree Master of Laws
in Taxation must submit satisfactory scores on the Law
School Admissions Test (LSAT).
FOREIGN STUDENTS
All foreign students seeking admission to the Graduate
School are required to submit satisfactory scores on the
GRE Aptitude Test and on the TOEFL (Test of English as a
Foreign Language) with the following exceptions:
1. Foreign students whose native tongue is English or
who have studied at a United States college or university
for one year or more need not submit TOEFL scores but
must submit satisfactory scores on the Aptitude Test of
the Graduate Record Examination before their applica-
tions for admission can be considered.
2. Students educated in foreign countries that do not
offer the GRE who apply for admission while residing
outside the United States may be granted, on the basis of
hardship, a one-semester postponement of the GRE but
not the TOEFL. Permission to register for subsequent
semesters will depend upon the submission of scores on
the Graduate Record Examination.
3. All foreign students applying for admission to the
Master of Business Administration program must submit
satisfactory scores from the Graduate Management
Admission Test before their applications for admission
will be considered.
Foreign students whose scores on the TOEFL and
verbal portion of the GRE are not indicative of adequate
writing skills are. required to write a short essay for
examination. If the skills demonstrated in the essay are
not acceptable for pursuing graduate work, the examin-
ation will be used as a diagnostic tool for placement in
appropriate courses which will not count toward a
graduate degree.
Graduate students whose native language is not
English may be asked to submit satisfactory scores on the
Test of Spoken English (TSE) to be eligible for teaching
assistantships.
Applicants should write to the Educational Testing Ser-
vice, Princeton, New Jersey, for registration forms and
other information concerning TOEFL, TSE, GMAT, and
GRE.
HANDICAPPED STUDENTS
The University of Florida does not discriminate on the
basis of handicap in the recruitment and admission of
students, in the recruitment and employment of faculty
and staff, or in the operation of any of Its programs and
activities, as specified by federal laws and regulations.
The designated coordinator for compliance with Section
504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, is Ms.
Mary Skorheim, Assistant Dean for Student Services, 129
Tigert Hall, 392-1261.
The Office of Student Services provides assistance for
disabled students. Services are varied depending on
individual needs and include, but are not limited to,
special campus orientation, registration assistance, help
in securing auxiliary learning aids, and assistance in
general University activities. Handicapped students are
encouraged to contact this office.
CONDITIONAL ADMISSION
Students who are not eligible for direct admission may
be granted conditional admission to the Graduate
School. Students may be granted conditional admission
to defer final admission decisions until requisite exam-
ination scores or final grade records are available. Stu-
dents may also be granted conditional admission to
ascertain their ability to pursue graduate work at the
University of Florida if previous grade records or
Graduate Record Examination scores are on the border-
line of acceptability-or when specific prerequisite
courses are required.
Students granted conditional admission should be noti-
fied by the department of the conditions under which
they are admitted. When these conditions have been
satisfied, the department must notify the student in
writing, sending a copy to the Graduate School. Eligible
course work taken while a student is in conditional status
is applicable toward a graduate degree.
Students failing to meet any condition of admission
will be barred from further registration.
POSTBACCALAUREATE STUDENTS
Students who have received a bachelor's degree but
have not been admitted to the Graduate School are
GENERAL REGULATIONS / 7
classified as postbaccalaureate students (6-). Post-
baccalaureate enrollment is offered for the following
reasons: (1) to validate undergraduate records from
nonaccredited and unevaluated colleges; (2) to provide a
means for students.not seeking a graduate degree to
enroll in courses included in this category would be
students who change their professional goals or wish to
expand their academic backgrounds; and (3) to accom-
modate students who do intend to enter a graduate
program at some future date, but need a substantial
number of prerequisite courses.
Postbaccalaureate students may enroll in graduate
courses but the work taken will not normally be trans-
ferred to the graduate record if the student is
subsequently admitted to the Graduate School. By
petition in clearly justified cases and in conformance
with regulations on courses and credit, it is possible to
transfer up to but no more than two courses totaling six
to eight semester hours of course work earned with a
grade of A, B+, or B.
Students in the College of Education who desire
postbaccalaureate classification to obtain teacher certi-
fication must provide the college with a clear statement
of certification goals as a part of the requirements for
admission. Interested students should write to 134
Norman Hall or call 392-0721 for further information.
FACULTY MEMBERS AS GRADUATE
STUDENTS
University of Florida faculty, as designated by the
Florida Administrative Code, may not pursue graduate
degrees from this institution. Exceptions are made for the
Florida Cooperative Extension Service (IFAS) county
personnel and the faculty of the P.K. Yonge Laboratory
School.
Under certain conditions, persons in sub-faculty posi-
tions (i.e., those holding titles of Assistant In or Associate
In) may pursue nonthesis master's degrees at the
University of Florida. Any other exceptions to this policy
must be approved by the Graduate Council.
STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM
PROGRAMS
Traveling Scholar Program.-This program makes the
entire State University System graduate curriculum
available to University of Florida graduate students. A
course or research activity not offered on this campus,
taken under the auspices of the Traveling Scholar
Program at another SUS university, will count as
graduate credit at the University of Florida if approved by
the graduate coordinator or the supervisory committee
chair and the Dean of the Graduate School. Traveling
scholars are normally limited to one term on the campus
of the host university. The deans of graduate schools of
the state universities are the coordinators of the program,
and interested students should contact the Graduate
Student Records Office, 288 Grinter Hall.
Cooperative Degree Programs.-In certain degree
programs, faculty from other universities in the State
University System hold graduate faculty status at the
University of Florida. In those approved areas, the
intellectual resources of these external graduate faculty
members are available to students at the University of
Florida.
GENERAL REGULATIONS
It is the responsibility of the graduate student to
become informed and to observe all.regulations and
procedures required by the program the student is
pursuing. The student must be familiar with those
sections of the Graduate Catalog that outline general
regulations and requirements, specific degree program
requirements, and the offerings and requirements of the
major department. Ignorance of a rule does not con-
stitute a basis for waiving that rule. Any exceptions to
the policies stated in the Graduate Catalog must be
approved by the Dean of the Graduate School.
After admission to the Graduate School, but before the
first registration, the,student should consult the college
and/or the graduate coordinator in the major department
concerning courses and degree requirements, defi-
ciencies if .any, and special regulations of the depart-
ment. The dean of the college in which the degree
program is located or a representative must approve all
registrations.
CONFIDENTIALITY OF STUDENT
RECORDS
The University of Florida assures the confidentiality of
student educational records in accordance with the State
University System rules, state statutes, and the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (known as
the Buckley Amendment).
Information which may be released to the public on
any student is the name; class, college, and major; dates
of attendance; degrees) earned; awards received; local
and permanent address, and telephone number.
In general, a present or former student has the right to
personally review his or her own educational records for
information and to determine the accuracy of these
records. Parents of dependent students, as defined by the
Internal Revenue Service, have these same rights. A
photo I.D. or other equivalent documentation or
personal recognition by the custodian of record will be
required before access is granted.
STUDENT CONDUCT
Graduate students are subject to the same rules of
behavior that govern undergraduates. The student
conduct code is printed in the Undergraduate Catalog.
STUDY LOADS
The University of Florida operates on a semester
system consisting of two 15-week periods and two
6-week summer terms. A credit under the semester
system is equal to 1.5 quarter credits.
Minimum registration for full-time graduate students,
including trainees and fellows, is 12 credits. The mini-
mum registration is reduced for those students who are
graduate assistants or are otherwise employed. Guide-
8 / GENERAL INFORMATION
lines for minimum registration for students on
appointment are provided in the Graduate Coordinator's
Manual.
Full-time students, not on appointment, must register
for a minimum of 12 credits. Part-time status may be
approved by the graduate coordinator for students who
are not pursuing a degree on a full-time basis. Such
exceptions must be clearly justified and the approved
registration must be commensurate with the use of
University facilities and faculty time.
The minimum study load for students not on assistant-
ship is three credits during Fall and Spring Semesters and
two for Summer C.:
COURSES AND CREDITS
Undergraduate courses (1000-2999) may not be used
as any part of the graduate degree requirements,
including the requirement for a period of concentrated
study. Undergraduate courses (3000-4999) may be used
for minor credit when taken as part of an approved
graduate program.
Courses numbered 5000 and above are limited to
graduate students, with the exception described under
Undergraduate Registration in Graduate Courses.
Courses numbered 7000 and above are designed
primarily for advanced graduate students.
No more than five hours each of 6910 (Supervised
Research) and 6940 (Supervised Teaching) may be taken
by a graduate student at the University of Florida.
A complete list of approved graduate courses appears
in the section of this Catalog entitled Fields of
Instruction. Departments reserve the right to decide
which of these graduate courses will be offered in a given
semester and the departments should be consulted
concerning available courses.
Correspondence Work.-No courses taken by corres-
pondence may be used for graduate credit.
Professional Work.-No courses taken as a part of a
professional degree (e.g., J.D., D.V.M., or M.D.) may be
used for,graduate credit except as approved in an
authorized joint degree program.
Extension Work.-No extension courses may be used
for graduate credit except in programs for the M.Ag.,
M.Ed., M.A.E., M.A.T., M.S.T., M.E.S.S., M.H.S.E.,. and
Ed.S. degrees. Extension work taken at another institution
may not be transferred to the University of Florida for
graduate credit.
Cooperative Education Program.-At the University of
Florida, the Cooperative Education Program is offered
primarily for undergraduate students. However, the
course 4949, Cooperative Work Experience, one credit,
may be recommended to the Graduate School for minor
credit in master's degree programs provided this course
is above the minimum course' requirements for the
degree.
GRADES
The only passing grades for graduate students are A,
B+, B, C+, C, and S. Grades of C+ and C in courses
below 5000 level are acceptable for credit toward grad-
uate degrees if the total program meets the B average
requirement. In 5000-level courses and above, C+ and
C grades count toward a graduate degree if an equal
number of credit hours in courses numbered 5000 or
higher have been earned with grades of B+ and A,
respectively. Grade points are not designated for S and U
grades; these grades are not used in calculating the
grade-point average.
Grades of S and U are the only grades awarded in
courses numbered 6910 (Supervised Research), 6940
(Supervised Teaching), 6971 (Master's Research), 6973
(Individual Project), 7979 (Advanced Research), and
7980 (Doctoral Research).
Additional courses for which S and U grades apply are
noted in the departmental offerings. With the exception
of those courses listed in the Graduate Catalog, no
course taken for an S/U grade may be used to satisfy the
minimum requirements for a graduate degree.
Deferred Grade H.-The grade of H is not a substitute
for a grade of S, U, or I. Courses for which H grades are
appropriate must be so noted in their catalog descrip-
tions, and must be approved by the Graduate Curriculum
Committee and the Graduate School. This grade may be
used only in special situations where the expected unit of
work may be developed over a period of time greater
than a single term.
Incomplete Grades.-Grades of I (incomplete) re-
ceived during the preceding semester should be
removed as soon as possible. Grades of I carry no quality
points and lower the overall grade-point average.
All grades of H and I must be removed prior to the
award of a graduate degree.
UNDERGRADUATE REGISTRATION
IN GRADUATE COURSES
With the permission of the instructor and the college
concerned, an undergraduate student at the University of
Florida may enroll in graduate-level courses (5000 and
6000 level) if the student has senior standing and an
upper-division grade-point average of at least 3.0. After a
student has been accepted in the Graduate School, up to
six hours of graduate-level courses earned with a grade of
A, B+, or B taken under this provision may be applied
toward a graduate degree at the University of Florida
provided credit for the course has not been used for an
undergraduate degree and provided the transfer is made
as soon as the student is admitted to a graduate program.
CONCURRENT GRADUATE
PROGRAMS
A graduate student who wishes to pursue degrees in
two programs concurrently must have the written
approval of the chairperson of each department involved
and the Dean of the Graduate School. Any student
interested in pursuing concurrent degrees should discuss
the proposed study with the Graduate School's Student
Records staff prior to applying for the programs. If the
request is approved, the student must be officially
admitted to both programs through regular procedures. If
the student is approved to pursue two master's programs,
GENERAL REGULATIONS / 9
no more than six hours of course work from one degree
program may be applied toward meeting the require-
ments for the second master's degree.
INFORMATION FOR VETERANS
The University of Florida is approved for the education
and training of veterans under all public laws in effect;
i.e., Chapter 31, Title 38, U.S. Code (Disabled Veterans);
Chapter 34, Title 38, U.S. Code (Cold-War G.I. Bill); and
Chapter 35, Title 38, U.S. Code (Children of Deceased or
Disabled Veterans).
Students who may be eligible for educational benefits
under any Veterans Administration program are urged to
contact the Veterans Affairs Office, 124 Tigert Hall; as
soon as they are accepted for admission.
Students expecting to receive benefits under one of
these programs must file an application with the Office of',
the Registrar. No certification can be made until the
application is on file. Benefits are determined by the
Veterans Administration, and the University certifies
according to these rules and regulations.
The Registrar's Office maintains students' academic
records. A progress report is sent to each student at the
end of the term indicating grades, cumulative hours,
grade points, etc.
UNSATISFACTORY SCHOLARSHIP
Any graduate student may be denied further
registration in the University or in a graduate program
should scholastic performance or progress toward com-
pletion of the planned program become unsatisfactory to
the department, college, or Dean of the Graduate
School. Failure to maintain a B average in all work
attempted is, by definition, unsatisfactory scholarship.
CHANGE OF MAJOR OR COLLEGE
A graduate student who wishes to change major or
college must make formal application through the Office
of the Registrar and receive approval of the appropriate
department chairperson, college dean, and the Dean of
the Graduate School. Deadline dates for such changes as
specified in the current University Calendar must be met.
FOREIGN LANGUAGE EXAMINATION
A foreign language examination is not required for all
degree programs and the student should contact the
graduate coordinator in the appropriate department for
specific information regarding any requirement of a
foreign language.
If a department requires that a studentmeet the foreign
language requirement by satisfactory performance on the
Graduate School Foreign Language Tests (GSFLT) in
French, Spanish, or German, the student should contact
the Office of Instructional Resources, 1012 Turlington
Hall, for applications and payments of fees. The examin-
ation times and dates are listed in the University
Calendar. Educational Testing Service (ETS) no longer
administers this examination and does not accept appli-
cation fees or issue tickets of admission for these tests.
EXAMINATIONS
The student must be registered for an appropriate load
during the semester in which any examination is taken.
The student's supervisory committee is responsible for
the administration of the written and oral qualifying
examinations as well as the final oral examination for the
defense of the thesis, project, or dissertation. All
members of the supervisory committee must sign the
appropriate forms, including the signature pages, in
order for the student to satisfy the requirements of the
examination.
Qualifying and final examinations for graduate stu-
dents are to be held on the University of Florida campus.
Exceptions'to this policy are made only for certain
graduate students whose examinations are administered
at the Agricultural Research and Educational Centers or

REQUIREMENTS FOR
MASTER'S DEGREES
GENERAL REGULATIONS
The following regulations represent those' of the
Graduate School. Colleges and departments may have
additional regulations beyond those stated below. Unless
otherwise indicated in the following sections concern-
ing master's degrees, these general regulations apply to
all master's degree programs at the University.
Course Requirements.-Graduate credit is awarded for
courses numbered 5000 and above. The work in the
major field must be in courses numbered 5000 or above.
For work outside the major, courses numbered 3000 or
above may be taken provided they are part of an
approved plan of study. The program of course work for
a master's degree must be approved by the student's
adviser, supervisory committee, or faculty representative
of the department. No more than six credits from a
previous master's degree program may be applied
toward a second master's degree.
If a minor is chosen, at least six credits of work are
required in the minor field. Two six-credit minors may be
taken with departmental permission. Minor work must
be in a- department other than the major; in special
cases this requirement may be modified, but only with
the written permission of the Dean of the Graduate
School.
Degree Requirements.-Unless otherwise specified,
for any master's degree, the student must earn a
minimum of 30 credits as a graduate student at the
University of Florida, of which no more than two
courses, totaling six to eight hours, earned with a grade
of A, B+, or B may be transferred from institutions
approved for this purpose by the Dean of the Graduate
School .
Transfer of Credit.-Only graduate (5000-7999) level
work to the extent of two'courses, totaling six to eight
semester hours, earned with a grade of A, B +, or B may
be transferred from an institution approved by the
Graduate School or from postbaccalaureate work at the
University of Florida. Credits transferred from other
universities will be applied toward meeting the degree
requirements but the grades earned will not be
computed in the student's grade-point average.
Acceptance of transfer of credit requires approval of the
student's supervisory committee and the Dean of the
Graduate School.
Petitions for transfer of credit for a master's degree
must be made during the student's first term of en-
rollment in the Graduate School.
Nonresident or extension work taken at another institu-
tion may not be transferred to the University of Florida
for graduate credit. No courses taken by correspondence
or as part of a professional degree may be used toward a
graduate degree.
Supervisory Committee.-The student's supervisory
committee should be appointed as soon as possible after
the student has been admitted to the Graduate School
but in no case later than the second semester of graduate
study.
Supervisory committees for graduate degree programs
are nominated by the representative department chair-
person, approved by the college dean, and appointed by
the Dean of the Graduate School. Only members of the
graduate faculty may be appointed to supervisory
committees. The Dean of the Graduate School is an ex-
officio member of all supervisory committees.
The supervisory committee for a master's degree with a
thesis must consist of at least two members selected from
the graduate faculty. The supervisory committee for a
master's degree without a thesis may consist of one
member of the graduate faculty who advises the student
and oversees the program. If a minor is designated, the
committee must include one graduate faculty member
from the minor department.
Language Requirements.-(1) The requirement of a
reading knowledge of a foreign language is at the
discretion of the department. The foreign language
requirement varies from department to department and
the student should check with the appropriate depart-
ment for specific information. (2) The ability to use the
English language correctly and effectively, as judged by
the supervisory committee, is required of all candidates.
Examination.-A final comprehensive examination,
oral, written or both, must be passed by the candidate.
This examination, held on campus with all participants
present, will cover at least the candidate's field of
concentration, and in no case may it be scheduled earlier
than the term preceding the semester in which the degree
is to be conferred.
Time Limitation.-All work counted toward the
master's degree must be completed during the seven
years immediately preceding the date on which the
degree is to be awarded.

MASTER'S DEGREES / 11
Course Requirements.-The minimum course work
required for a master's degree with thesis is 30 credits
including up to six hours of the research course
numbered 6971. All students seeking a master's degree
with thesis must register for an appropriate number of
hours in 6971. The minimum course work requirement
for a Master of Arts or Master of Science taken with the
nonthesis option is 32 credits excluding credits for which
grades of S and U are given. Students pursuing the
nonthesis option may not use the course numbered 6971
to meet the credit requirement.
For both nonthesis option and thesis programs, at least
half the required credits, exclusive of 6971, must be in a
field of study designated the major. One or two minors of
at least six credits each may be taken, but a minor is not
required by the Graduate School. Minor work must be in
a department other than the major. The work in the
major field must be in courses numbered 5000 or above.
For work outside the major, courses numbered 3000 or
above may be taken.
Engineering students, working at off-campus centers,
who are pursuing a nonthesis option Master of Science
degree, must take half the course work from full-time
University of Florida faculty members and are required to
pass a comprehensive written examination administered
on the University of Florida campus by an examining
committee recommended by the Dean of the College of
Engineering and appointed by the Dean of the Graduate
School.
Thesis.-Candidates for the master's degree with thesis
must prepare and present theses (or equivalent in
creative work) acceptable to their supervisory
committees and the Graduate School. The candidate
should consult the Graduate School Editorial Office for
instructions concerning the form of the thesis. The
University Calendar specifies final dates for submitting
three copies of the abstract to the office of the Dean of
the Graduate School and for submitting the original copy
of the thesis bound with an abstract. The college copy
should be submitted to the college or department by the
specified date. After the thesis is accepted, these two
copies will be permanently bound and deposited in the
University Libraries.
Change from Thesis to Nonthesis Option.-A student
who wishes to change from the thesis to the nonthesis
option for the master's degree must obtain the permis-
sion of the supervisory committee to make such a
change. This permission must be forwarded to the
Graduate School at least one full semester prior to the
intended date of graduation. The candidate must meet all
the requirements of the nonthesis option as specified
above. A maximum of three credits earned in 6971
(Master's Research) can be counted toward the degree
requirements only if converted to credit as Individual
Work. The supervisory committee must indicate that the
work was productive in and by itself and warrants credit
as a special problem or special topic course.
Supervisory Committee.-The student's supervisory
committee should be appointed as soon as possible after
the student has been admitted to the Graduate School
but in no case later than the end of the second semester
of study. The duties of the supervisory committee are to
advise the student, to check on the student's qualifica-
tions and progress, to supervise the preparation of the
thesis, and to conduct the final examination.
Comprehensive Examination.-The student who elects
the nonthesis option must pass a comprehensive written
examination on the major field of study and on the minor
if a minor is designated. This comprehensive examin-
ation must be taken within six months of the date the
degree is to be awarded.
Final Examination.-When the student's course work
is substantially completed, and the thesis is in final form,
the supervisory committee is required to examine the
student orally or in writing on (1) the thesis, (2) the major
subjects, (3) the minor or minors, and (4) matters of a
general nature pertaining to the field of study. A written
announcement of the examination must be sent to the
Dean of the Graduate School.
At least three faculty members and the candidate must
be present at the final examination. At the time of the
examination, all committee members should sign the
signature pages and the Final Examination Report. These
may be retained by the supervisory chairman until
acceptable completion of corrections. This examination
may not be scheduled earlier than six months before the
degree is to be conferred.

M.Acc./J.D. Program.-This joint program culminates
in both the Juris Doctor degree awarded by the College
ot Law and the Master of Accounting degree awarded by
the Graduate School. The program is designed for
students who have an undergraduate degree in ac-
counting and who are interested in advanced studies in
both accounting and law. The joint program requires 23
fewer credits than would be required if the two degrees
were earned separately. The two degrees are awarded
after completion of the curriculum requirements for both
degrees. Students must take both the GMAT (or the GRE)
and the LSAT prior to admission, and must meet the
admission requirements for the College of Law (.D.) and
the Fisher School of Accounting (M.Acc.).
MASTER OF AGRICULTURE
The degree of Master of Agriculture is designed for
those students who wish additional training for agri-
business occupations or professions rather than for those
interested primarily in research.
The general requirements are the same as those for the
Master of Science degree without thesis except that 12
credits of graduate courses in a department constitute a
major. Credit toward the degree for courses taken
through the Division of Continuing Education is limited
to 24 credits. The student's supervisory committee must
consist of at least two members of the graduate faculty. A
comprehensive written qualifying examination, given
prior to the midpoint of the term of graduation, and a
final oral examination are required. Both examinations

Law/Urban Planning Joint Degree Program.-A four-
year program leading to a Juris Doctor and a Master of
Arts in Urban and Regional Planning is offered under the
joint auspices of the College of Law and the College of
Architecture, Department of Urban and Regional Plan-
ning. The program provides students interested in the
legal problems of urban and regional planning with an
opportunity to blend law studies with relevant course
work in the planning curriculum. The students receive
both degrees at the end of a four-year course of study
whereas separate programs would require five years.
Students must take the GRE and the LSAT prior to
admission and must complete the first year of law school
course work before comingling law and planning
courses. A thesis is required upon completion of the
course work.
Interested students should apply to both the Holland

Planning.
MASTER OF BUILDING
CONSTRUCTION
The degree of Master of Building Construction is
designed for those students who wish to pursue advanced -
work in management of construction, construction tech-
niques, and research problems in the construction field.
The general requirements are the same as those for
Master of Science degrees without thesis except that a
minimum of 33 credits is required. At least 24 credits
must be in the School of Building Construction in
graduate level courses of which at least 15 credits must
be earned at the 6000 level. The remaining nine credits
may be earned in other departments at the 3000 level or
above when these courses are included as a part of an
approved program of study. A thesis is not required, but
an independent research study.(BCN 6934) of at least
three credits is required. In exceptional cases with the
approval of the graduate faculty this independent study
can be taken for up to five credits.
When the student's course work is completed, or prac-
tically so, and the independent research report is
complete, the supervisory committee is required to
examine the student orally or in writing on (1) the
independent research report, (2) the major subjects, (3)
the minor or minors, and (4) matters of a general nature
pertaining to the field of study. The examination must be
given on campus with all participants present.
MASTER OF BUSINESS
ADMINISTRATION
The requirements for the Master of Business
Administration degree are designed to give students (1)
the conceptual knowledge for understanding the func-
tions and behavior common to all organizations, and (2)
the analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making
skills essential for effective management. The emphasis is
upon developing the student's capacities and skills for
business decision making.
The curriculum is structured so that students may extend
their knowledge in a specialized field by selecting an
approved concentration. Included in these concentra-
tions are accounting, computer and information sciences,
economics, finance, health and hospital administration,
management, management science, marketing, and real
estate. Several areas of specialization having different
emphases are offered within some. concentrations.
Students may also expand their knowledge in several

English are required to submit, in addition, scores on the
Test of English as a Foreign Language.
A heterogeneous student body is seen as an important
asset of the program. Accordingly the undergraduate
background of students includes a wide range of disci-
plines. Although the curriculum assumes no previous
academic work in managerial disciplines or business
administration, it is recommended that applicants have a
background in introductory economics, statistics, cal-
culus, and financial accounting.
. Students are admitted in the fall semester only. Appli-
cations should be made as early as possible during the
preceding academic year. Applications received after
April 1 will be considered on the basis of available space.

Gainesville campus of the University of Florida, including
registration for at least six credits in a single semester.
MASTER OF ENGINEERING
A student seeking a master's degree in the field of
engineering may become a candidate for the Master of En-
gineering degree with or without thesis, provided such a
candidate has a bachelor's degree in engineering from an
,ABET-accredited curriculum or has taken sufficient artic-
ulation course work to meet the minimum requirements
specified by ABET. Students who do not meet these re-
quirements may become candidates for the Master of
Science degree, provided they meet departmental re-
quirements for admission. The general intent in making
this distinction is to encourage those who are profession-
ally oriented to seek the Master of Engineering degree,
and those who are more scientifically oriented and those
who have science-based backgrounds to seek the Master
of Science degree.
Also, the Master of Civil Engineering degree has been
approved for a trial period as a variant of the Master of
Engineering degree. The M.C.E. is oriented specifically to
the design and professional practice in civil engineering.
The degree requirements include a minimum number of
hours of design and professional practice instruction at
the graduate level, six months' full-time civil engineering
related experience or its equivalent obtained after the
student has achieved junior status, and completion of the
Engineering Intern Examination. The thesis or report re-
quired for all master's degrees must be design-related.
Further details on this trial degree program may be
obtained from the Chairman, Department of Civil
Engineering.
Work Required.-The minimum course work required
for the master's degree with thesis is 30 credits which
may include up to six credits of the research course num-
bered 6971 in all departments. At least 12 credits, exclud-
ing 6971, must be in the student's major field of study. A
minimum of 32 credits of course work is required, with at
least 16 credits in the student's major field for both of the
above degrees without thesis. At least 50% of the re-
quired 32 credits must be in graduate level courses,
excluding those graded as S/U. Courses in the major must
be graduate level. If a minor is chosen, at least six credits of
work are required: two six-credit minors may be taken. In
addition, a multidisciplinary minor in departments other
than the major may be authorized by the supervisory com-
mittee or program adviser. Courses numbered 3000 and
above may be taken for the minor.
Degree Credit.-In order to qualify for course work
toward the Master of Engineering degree, a student must
first be admitted to the Graduate School at the University
of Florida. The amount of course work toward this degree
that may be taken at an off-campus center will depend
upon the student's individual program and the courses
provided through the center.
Examinations.-A student seeking the Master of En-
gineering degree with or without thesis is required to pass
a comprehensive oral and/or written examination, admin-
istered on campus with all participants present, at the
completion of the course work. An off-campus student
who is a candidate for a nonthesis degree must take half
the course work from full-time University of Florida faculty
members and is required to pass a comprehensive
written examination administered on the University of
Florida campus by an examining committee recom-
mended by the Dean of the College of Engineering and
appointed by the Dean of the Graduate School. At least
one member of the examining committee must be either
the student's program adviser or a member of the super-
visory committee. If a minor is taken, another member
selected from the Graduate Studies Faculty must be
chosen from outside the major department to represent
the student's minor.
The requirement for an on-campus comprehensive writ-
ten examination also applies to the nonthesis option of
the Master of Science degree for students in the College
of Engineering.
Examination requirements for the Master of Science
degree are covered in the section Master of Arts and
Master of Science.
A Certificate Program in Manufacturing Systems
Engineering has been established'as an option in the
Master of Engineering degree of five departments: Com-
puter and Information Sciences, Electrical Engineering,
Industrial and Systems Engineering, Materials Science
and Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Qualifi-
cation for the certificate requires specified courses in
manufacturing, 18 credits or more of course work se-
lected from an approved manufacturing systems engi-
neering core, and satisfactory completion of depart-
mental Master of Engineering requirements. Project and
thesis options are available.
MASTER OF EXERCISE AND SPORT
SCIENCES
Work Required.-A minimum of 34 credits of course
work is required, of which at least 50% must be selected
from graduate level courses offered in the Department of
Exercise and Sport Sciences. Of the remaining 50%, at
least three courses must be taken outside the Department
of Exercise and Sport Sciences. All course work must be
approved by the chairperson of the student's supervisory
committee. If knowledge deficiencies are identified,
additional course work may be required.
Off-Campus Work .-The regulations governing off-
campus work are the same as those for the Master of
Education degree.
Supervisory Committee.-A committee of three faculty
members from the Department of Exercise and Sport
Sciences and the Dean of the Graduate School, as an ex-
officio member, will supervise the work of students
registered in this program.
Final Examination.-The candidate must pass a com-
prehensive written and oral examination that consists of
questions concerning the student's special area of con-
centration as well as concomitant areas of study in
MASTER'S DEGREES / 15
exercise and sport sciences. This exam must be taken on
campus during the fall or spring semester.
MASTER OF FINE ARTS
The College of Fine Arts offers the Master of Fine Arts
degree with majors in art, music, and theatre. The
requirements for this degree are the same as those for the
Master of Arts with thesis except that a minimum of 48
credits (66 for theatre) is required, including 6 to 10
credits in 6971 (Research for Master's Thesis). Students
may elect to substitute 6973 (Individual Project), creative
work in lieu of the written thesis. Students intending to
pursue this option should follow the general procedures
below:
1. Using the college form, the student must obtain
approval of a proposed project from the supervisory
committee.
2. The student should include in the proposal a de-
scription of the nature of the project, the method and
sources of research material, and how the project will be
recorded-e.g., slides, tapes, scripts, program notes, etc.
3. Project must conform to departmental formats. To
insure future accessibility and for record keeping pur-
poses, a copy of the results must be deposited in a desig-
nated library.
Students must fulfill the Graduate School admission re-
quirements. In cases where the undergraduate degree is
not in the area chosen for graduate study, the student
must demonstrate a level of achievement fully equivalent
to the bachelor's degree in the graduate field concerned.
A candidate found deficient in certain undergraduate
areas will be required to remove the deficiencies by suc-
cessful completion of appropriate undergraduate
courses.
In addition candidates are required to submit slides
and/or a portfolio of the creative work, or to audition,
prior to being accepted into the program.
Two years of work in residence (three for theatre) are
usually necessary to complete degree requirements. If
deficiencies must be removed, the residency could be
longer.

18 / GENERAL INFORMATION
In cooperation with the Graduate Studies Office, Col-
lege of Education, programs leading to these degrees are
administered through the individual departments in the
College of Education. It is the responsibility of the depart-
ment's chairperson to carry out the policies of the
Graduate School and the graduate committee of the
,College of Education. More specific information about
the various programs and departmental requirements may
be obtained from the individual departments. General
information or assistance is available through the Office
of Student Services in Education, Room 134, Norman
Hall.
Admission to the Ed.S., Ed.D., and Ph.D. programs is
open only to persons who have met the following

The judgment about admission of an individual is
made by the major department, the College of Education,
and the Graduate School, University of Florida.
SPECIALIST IN EDUCATION
Primary emphasis in an Ed.S. program is placed on the
development of the competencies needed for a specific
job. Programs are available in the various areas of con-
centration within the Departments of Counselor Educa-
tion, Educational Leadership, Foundations of Education,
Instruction and Curriculum, and Special Education.
To study for this degree, the student must apply and be
admitted to the Graduate School of the University of
Florida. All work for the degree must be completed with-
in seven years after admission to the Graduate School.
The Ed.S. degree is awarded at the completion of a
planned program with a minimum of 72 credits beyond
the bachelor's degree or a minimum of 36 credits
beyond the master's degree. All credits accepted for the
program must contribute to the unity and the stated
objective of the total program. Students are tested (in no
case earlier than six months prior to receipt of degree) in
both a written and an oral examination, given on cam-
pus, by a committee selected by the department chair-
person. A thesis is not required; however, each program
will include continuing attention to a research component
relevant to the professional role for which the student is
preparing.

campus by the University of Florida may be transferred to
the program. Six credits may be transferred from another
institution of the State University System or from any insti-
tution offering a doctoral degree; however, credit trans-
ferred from another institution reduces proportionately
the credit transferred from University of Florida off-
campus courses.
Students who enter the program with a bachelor's de-
gree only must, during the 72-credit program, satisfy
these requirements in addition to the requirements of the
Master of Education degree or its equivalent.
DOCTOR OF EDUCATION
A doctoral candidate is expected to achieve understand-
ing of the broad field of education and competence in an
area of specialization. Programs are available in the
various areas of concentration within the Departments of
Counselor Education, Educational Leadership, Founda-
tions of Education, Instruction and Curriculum, and
Special Education.
Admission to a program of work leading to the degree
of Doctor of Education requires admission to the Grad-
uate School.
A minimum of 90 credits beyond the bachelor's degree
is required for the doctoral degree. All courses beyond
the master's degree taken at another institution, to be
Applied toward the Doctor of Education degree, must be
taken at an institution offering the doctoral degree and
must be approved for graduate credit by the Graduate
School of the University of Florida.
Minors.-Minor work or work in cognate fields is re-
quired. Minor work may be completed in any department,
other than the major departments approved for master's
or doctoral degree programs as listed in the Catalog. If
one minor is selected, at least 15.credits of work therein
will be required; if two minors are chosen, one minor
must include at least 12 credits of course work, the other
at least 5 credits.
Courses in physical education approved by the College
of Health and Human Performance and the Graduate
School as subject matter or content courses may be used
in the cognate work or as a minor.
In lieu of a minor or minors, the candidate may present
a suitable program of no fewer than 15 credits of cognate
work in at least two departments. If two fields are in-
cluded, there shall be no fewer than five credits in each
field. If three or more fields are included, the five credit
requirement for each field does not apply. This program
must have the approval of the student's supervisory com-
mittee. The College of Education faculty will expect the
candidate to be prepared to answer questions, at the time
PH.D. DEGREE / 19
of the oral examination, in any of the areas chosen.
Admission to Candidacy.-Admission to candidacy for
the degree of Doctor of Education requires successful
completion of the qualifying examinations and approval
of a dissertation topic. Recommendation to the Graduate
School for admission to candidacy is based on the action
of the supervisory committee. Application for admission
to candidacy should be made as soon as the qualifying
examination has been passed and a dissertation topic has
been approved by the student's supervisory committee.
Qualifying Examination.-The applicant is recom-
mended for the qualifying examination by the supervisory
committee after completion of sufficient course work.
The examination, administered on campus by the stu-
dent's major department, consists of (1) a general section,
(2) a field of specialization section, (3) examination in the
minor or minors, where involved, and (4) an oral exam-
ination conducted by the applicant's supervisory
committee.
If the student fails the qualifying examination, a re-
examination will not be given unless recommended for
special reasons by the supervisory committee and ap-
proved by the Graduate School. At least one semester of
additional preparation is considered essential before re-
examination.
Research Preparation Requirement.-EDF 7486 (Meth-
ods of Educational Research) or its equivalent, for which
a basic course in statistics is a prerequisite, and one other
approved course, are minimum requirements in all pro-
grams. Additional requirements vary with the department
and with the student's plans for doctoral research.
For information relating to Concentrated Period of
Study, the Supervisory Committee, Time Lapse, the
Dissertation, and the Final Examination, the student is
referred to the material presented under the heading Re-
quirements for the Ph.D. These statements are applicable
to both degrees.
REQUIREMENTS FOR
THE PH.D.
Doctoral study consists of the independent mastery of
a field of knowledge and the successful pursuit of re-
search. Consequently, doctoral programs are more flexi-
ble and varied than those leading to other graduate de-
grees. The Graduate Council does not specify what
courses will be required for the Ph.D. degree. The gen-
eral requirement is that the program should be unified in
relation to a clear objective, that it should have the
considered approval of the student's entire supervisory
committee, and that it should include an appropriate
number of credit hours of doctoral research.
COURSE REQUIREMENTS
The course requirements for doctoral degrees vary
from field to field and from student to student. The
student's supervisory committee has the responsibility for
recommending individual courses of study for each doc-
toral student subject to the approval of the Dean of the
Graduate School. A minimum of 90 credits beyond the
bachelor's degree is required for the doctoral degree.
Major.-The student working for the Ph.D. must elect
to do the major work in a department specifically ap-
proved for the offering of doctoral courses and the super-
vision of dissertations. These departments are listed
under Graduate Programs.
Minor.-With the approval of the supervisory commit-
tee, the student may choose.one or more minor fields.
Minor work may be completed in any department, other
than the major department, approved for master's or
doctor's degree programs as listed in this Catalog.
If one minor is chosen, the representative of the minor
department on the supervisory committee shall suggest
from 12 to 24 credits as preparation for a qualifying
examination. A part of this background may have been
acquired in the master's program. If two minors are
chosen, each must include at least eight credits. Compe-
tence in the minor area may be demonstrated through a
written examination conducted by the minor department
or through the oral qualifying examination.
Course work in the minor at the doctoral level need
not be restricted to the courses of one department,
provided that the minor has a clearly stated objective and
that the combination of courses representing the minor
shall be approved by the Graduate School. This proce-
dure is not required for a departmental minor.
SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE
Supervisory committees are nominated by the depart-
ment chairperson, approved by the dean of the college
concerned, and appointed by the Dean of the Graduate
School. The committee should be appointed as soon as
possible after the student has begun doctoral work and in
general no later than the end of the second semester of
equivalent full-time study. The Dean of the Graduate
School is an ex-officio member of all supervisory com-
mittees and should be notified in writing well in advance
of all examinations conducted by such committees.
Duties and Responsibilities.-Duties of the supervisory
committee follow:
1. To inform the student of all regulations governing
the degree sought. It should be noted, however, that this
does not absolve the student from the responsibility of
informing himself concerning these regulations. (See
Student Responsibility.)
2. To meet immediately after appointment to review
the qualifications of the student and to discuss and ap-
prove a program ot study.
3. To meet to discuss and approve the proposed dis-
sertation project and the plans for carrying it out.
4. To conduct the qualifying examination or, in those
cases where the examination is administered by the de-
partment, to take part in it. In either event, no fewer than
five faculty members shall be present with the student for
the oral portion of the examination. This examination
must be given on campus.
5. To meet when the work on the dissertation is at
least one-half completed to review procedure, progress,
and expected results and to make suggestions for com-
pletion.
6. To meet on campus when the dissertation is com-
pleted and conduct the final oral examination to assure
that the dissertation is a piece of original research and a
contribution to knowledge. No fewer than five faculty
members shall be present with the candidate for this
20 / GENERAL INFORMATION
examination, but only the members of the official
supervisory committee may sign the dissertation. The
dissertation must be approved unanimously by the offi-
cial supervisory committee.
Membership.-The supervisory committee for a candi-
date for the doctoral degree shall consist of no fewer than
three members selected from the graduate faculty. At
least two members will be from the department recom-
mending the degree, and at least one member will be
drawn from a different educational discipline. The
chairperson and at least one additional member of the
committee will be members of the Doctoral Research
Faculty of the University of Florida.
If a minor is chosen, the supervisory committee will
include at least one person selected from the graduate
faculty from outside the discipline of the major for the
purpose of representing the student's minor. In the event
that the student elects more than one minor, each minor
area may, at the discretion of the departments con-
cerned, be represented on the supervisory committee.
When a minor is not designated, the supervisory com-
mittee will include at least one member of the graduate
faculty from outside the discipline of the major. The
Graduate Council desires each supervisory committee to
function as a university committee, as contrasted with a
departmental committee, in order to bring university-
wide standards to bear upon the various doctoral
.degrees.
In unusual cases the doctoral research may require the
guidance of a specialist from an area of study other than
that of the chairperson of the supervisory committee. In
such cases the department chair may recommend appoint-
ment of a chairperson and a cochairperson, with the
latter being a member of the graduate faculty but not
necessarily the Doctoral Research Faculty. A cochairper-
son may also be appointed to serve during a planned
absence of the chairperson; in this case both the chair-
person and the cochairperson must be appointed to the
Doctoral Research Faculty.
LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT
Any foreign language requirement, or a' substitute.
therefore, for the Ph.D. is established by the major depart-
ment with approval of the college. The student should
check with the graduate coordinator of the appropriate
department for specific information. The foreign lan-
guage departments offer special classes for graduate
students who are beginning the study of a language. See
the current Schedule of Courses for the languages in
which this assistance is available.
The ability to use the English language correctly and
effectively, as judged by the supervisory committee, is
required of all candidates.
PERIOD OF CONCENTRATED STUDY
Candidates for the doctoral degree must satisfy the
minimum requirements for a period of concentrated study,
beyond the master's degree, by registering for (1) 30
semester hours in one calendar year, or (2) 36 semester
hours in no more than four semesters within a period of
two calendar years on the University of Florida campus.
Courses at the 1000 or 2000 level will not be counted
toward the requirement for concentrated study.
Candidates in the College of Agriculture may do their
research at certain branch stations of the University of
Florida Agricultural Experiment Station where adequate
staff and facilities are available.
QUALIFYING EXAMINATION
The qualifying examination, which is required of all
candidates for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, may be
taken during the third semester of graduate study beyond
the bachelor's degree.
The student must be registered in the term in which the
qualifying examination is given.
The examination, conducted by the supervisory com-
mittee or the major and minor departments, is both writ-
ten and oral and covers the major and minor subjects. At
least five faculty members must be present with the stu-
dent at the oral portion. The supervisory committee has
the responsibility at this time of deciding whether the
student is qualified to continue work toward a Ph.D.
degree.
If a student fails the qualifying examination, the Grad-
uate School must be notified. A re-examination may be
requested, but it must be recommended by the supervi-
sory committee and approved by the Graduate School.
At least one semester of additional preparation is con-
sidered essential before re-examination.
Time Lapse.-Between the qualifying examinations
and the date of the degree there must be a minimum of
two semesters. The semester in which the qualifying
examination is passed is counted, provided that the
examination occurs before the midpoint of thelterm.
ADMISSION TO CANDIDACY
A graduate student does not become a candidate for
the Ph.D. degree until granted formal admission to candi-
dacy. Such admission requires the approval of the stu-
dent's supervisory committee, the department chair-
person, the college dean, and the Dean of the Graduate
School. The approval must be based on (1) the academic
record of the student, (2) the opinion of the supervisory
committee concerning overall fitness for candidacy, (3) an
approved dissertation topic, and (4) a qualifying exam-
ination as described above. Application for admission to
candidacy should be made as soon as the qualifying
examination has been passed and a dissertation topic has
been approved by the student's supervisory committee. A
student may register for 7980 (Research for Dissertation) in
the term he or she is admitted to candidacy for a doctoral
degree.
DISSERTATION
Every candidate for a doctoral degree is required to
prepare and present a dissertation that shows independent
investigation and is acceptable in form and content to the
supervisory committee and to the Graduate School.
Dissertations must be written in English. The Dean of the
Graduate School may approve exceptions to this rule on
an individual basis for students majoring in Romance
languages and literatures.
Since all doctoral dissertations will be published by
microfilm, it is necessary that the work be of publishable
EXPENSES / 21
quality and that it be in a form suitable for publication.
The original copy of the dissertation must be presented
to the Dean of the Graduate School on or before the date
specified in the University Calendar. It must contain an
abstract and be accompanied by four unpaged separate
copies of the abstract, a letter of transmittal from the
supervisory chairperson, and all doctoral forms. After
corrections have been made, and no later than the
specified formal submission date, the fully signed copy of.
the dissertation, together with the signed Final Examina-
tion Report, should be returned to the Graduate School.
The original copy of the dissertation is sent by the
Graduate School to the Library for microfilming and
hardbinding. A second copy, reproduced on required
thesis paper, should be given to the office of the college
dean or the graduate coordinator for subsequent delivery
to the Library for hardbinding. The supervisory chair-
person and the candidate will each need a copy and, if
required, another should also be provided for the
departmental library.
Publication of Dissertation.-All candidates for the.
Ph.D. and Ed.D. degrees are required to pay the sum of
$40 to Student Financial Services, the Hub, for microfilm-
ing their dissertations, and to sign an agreement authoriz-
ing publication by microfilm.
Copyright.-The candidate may choose to copyright the
microfilmed dissertation for a charge of $20 payable by a
certified or cashier's check or money order to University
Microfilms attached to the signed microfilm agreement
form. To assure receipt of the valuable Copyright
Registration Certificate, candidates must give permanent.
addresses through which they can always be reached.
FINAL EXAMINATION
After submission of the dissertation and the completion
of all other prescribed work for the degree, but in no case
earlier than six months before the conferring of the de-
gree, the candidate will be given a final examination,
oral or written or both, by the supervisory committee
meeting on campus. An announcement of the scheduled
examination must be sent to the Dean of the Graduate
School. At least five faculty members must be present
with the candidate at the oral portion of this examination.
At the time of the defense all committee members should
sign the signature pages and all committee and attending
faculty members should sign the Final Examination
Report. These may be retained by the supervisory
chairman until acceptable completion of corrections.
Satisfactory performance on this examination and
adherence to all Graduate School regulations outlined
above complete the requirements for the degree.
Time Limitation.-All work for the doctorate must be
completed within five calendar years after the qualifying
examination, or this examination must be repeated.
CERTIFICATION
Doctoral candidates who have completed all require-
ments for the degree, including satisfactory defense and
final acceptance of the dissertation, may request certifica-
tion to that effect prior to receipt of the degree.
Certification request forms, available in the Graduate
School Editorial Office, should be filled out by the candi-
date, signed by the college dean, and returned to the
Graduate School for verification and processing.
EXPENSES
APPLICATION FEE
Each application for admission to the University must

CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS-
FLORIDA OR NON-FLORIDA
(Section 6C-7.05, Florida Administrative Code)
(1) For the purpose of assessing registration and tuition
fees, a student shall be classified as a resident or a non-
resident. A "resident for tuition purposes" is a person
who qualifies for the in-state tuition rate; a "non-
resident for tuition purposes" is a person who does not
qualify for the in-state tuition rate.
(a) To be classified as a "resident for tuition pur-
poses," a person, or, if a dependent child, the child's
parent or parents, shall have established legal resi-
dence in Florida and shall have maintained legal
residence in Florida for at least twelve (12) months
immediately prior to his or her qualification. A
dependent child is a person who may be claimed by
his or her parent as a dependent under the Federal
Income Tax Code. Every applicant for admission to a
university shall be required to make a statement as to
the length of residence in the state and shall also
establish his or her presence, or, if a dependent
child, the presence of his or her parent or parents, in
the state for the purpose of maintaining a bona fide
domicile in accordance with the provisions of Sec-
tion 240.1201(2)(b), Florida Statutes.
(b) With respect to a dependent child, the legal resi-
dence of such individual's parent or parents shall be
prima facie evidence of the'individual's legal res-
idence in accordance with the provisions of Section
240.1201(4), Florida Statutes. Prima facie evidence
may be reinforced or rebutted by evidence of resi-
dency, age, and the general circumstances of the
individual in accordance with the provisions of Rule
6C-7.05(2).
(c) In making domiciliary determinations related to
the classification of persons as residents or non-
residents for tuition purposes, the domicile of a
married person, irrespective of sex, shall be deter-
mined in accordance with the provisions of Section
240.1201(5), Florida Statutes.
(d) Any nonresident person, irrespective of sex, who
marries a legal' resident of this state or marries a
person who later becomes a legal resident, may,
upon becoming a legal resident of this state, accede
to the benefit of the spouse's immediately precedent
duration as a legal resident for purposes of satisfying
the 12-month durational requirement.
(e) No person shall lose his or her resident status for
tuition purposes solely by reason of serving, or, if a
dependent child, by reason of the parent or parents
serving, in the Armed Forces outside this state.
(f) A person who has been properly classified as a
resident for tuition purposes, but who, while en-
22 / GENERAL INFORMATION
rolled in an institution of higher education in this
state, loses resident tuition status because the person,
or, if a dependent child, the parent or parents, estab-
lish domicile or legal residence elsewhere, shall con-
tinue to enjoy the in-state tuition rate for a statutory
grace period. This grace period shall be measured in
accordance with the provisions of Section 240.1201
(8), Florida Statutes.
(g) The legal residence of a dependent child whose
parents are divorced, separated, or otherwise living
apart shall be deemed to be Florida if either parent is
a legal resident of Florida, regardless of which parent
is entitled to claim, and does in fact claim, the minor
as a dependent pursuant to federal individual income
tax provisions.
(h) Any person who ceases to be enrolled at or grad-
uates from an institution of higher education while
classified as a resident for tuition purposes and who
subsequently abandons Florida domicile shall be
permitted to reenroll at an institution of higher
education in this state as a resident for tuition
purposes in accordance with the provisions of Sec-
tion 240.1201(10), Florida Statutes.
(i) A member of the Armed Forces on active duty
stationed in Florida, and the spouse and dependents
of such member, shall be classified as residents for
tuition purposes.
(j) Full-time instructional and administrative person-
nel employed by state public schools, community col-
leges, and institutions of higher education, and the
spouses and dependent children of such individuals,
shall be classified as residents for tuition purposes.
(2) An individual shall not be classified as a resident
for tuition purposes and, thus, not be eligible to receive
the in-state tution rate, until the'individual has
provided satisfactory evidence as to his or her legal
residence and domicile to appropriate university offi-
cials. In determining residency, the university shall re-
quire evidence such as a voter registration, driver's
license, automobile registration, location of bank
account, rent receipts or any other relevant materials as
evidence that the applicant has maintained 12 months
residence immediately prior to qualification. To deter-
mine if the student is a dependent child, the university
shall require evidence such as copies of the aforemen-
tioned documents. In addition, the university may
require a notarized copy of the parent's IRS return. If a
non-resident wishes to qualify for resident tuition status
in accordance with Section (1)(d) above, the applicant
must present evidence of the spouse's legal residence
with certified copies of the aforementioned documents.
"Resident student" classification shall also be con-
strued to include students to whom an Immigration
Parolee card or a Form 1-94 (Parole Edition) was issued
at least one year prior to the first day of classes or
which resident student status is sought, or who have
had their resident alien status approved by the United
States Immigration and Naturalization Service, or who
hold an Immigration and Naturalization Form 1-151,
1-551 or a notice of an approved adjustment of status
application, or Cuban Nationals or Vietnamese Refu-
gees or other refugees or asylees so designated by the
United States Immigration and Naturalization Service
who are considered as Resident Aliens, provided such
students meet the residency requirements stated above
and comply with subsection (4) below. The burden of
establishing facts which justify classification of a
student as a resident and domiciliary entitled to
"resident for tuition purposes" registration rates is on
the applicant for such classification.
(3) In applying this policy:
(a) "Student" shall mean a person admitted to the
institution, or a person allowed to register at the
institution on a space available basis.
(b) "Domicile" shall denote a person's true, fixed,
and permanent home, and to which whenever the
person is absent the person has the intention of re-
turning.
(c) "Parent" shall mean an individual's father or
mother, or if there is a court appointed guardian or
legal custodian of the individual, other than the
father or mother, it shall mean the guardian or legal
custodian.
(d) The term "dependent child," as used in this rule,
is the same as a dependent as defined in the Internal
Revenue Code of 1954.
(4) In all applications for admission or registration at
the institution on a space available basis a "resident for
tuition purposes" applicant, or, if a dependent child,
the parent of the applicant, shall make and file with
such application a written statement, under oath, that
the applicant is a bona fide resident and domiciliary of
the state of Florida, entitled as such to classification as
a "resident for tuition purposes" under the terms and
conditions prescribed for residents and domiciliaries of
the state of Florida. All claims to "resident for tuition
purposes" classification must be supported by evidence
as stated in 6C-7.05(1), (2) if requested by the register-
ing authority.
(5) A "non-resident" or, if a dependent child, the
individual's parent, after maintaining a legal residence
and being a bona fide domiciliary of Florida for twelve
(12) months, immediately prior to enrollment and qual-
ification as a resident, rather than for the purpose of
maintaining a mere temporary residence or abode inci-
dent to enrollment in an institution of higher educa-
tion, may apply for and be granted classification as a
"resident for tuition purposes"; provided, however,
that those students who are non-resident aliens or who
are in the United States on a non-immigration visa will
not be entitled to reclassification. An application for
reclassification as a "resident for tuition purposes"
shall comply with provisions of subsection (4) above.
An applicant who has been classified as a "non-
resident for tuition purposes" at time of original
enrollment shall furnish evidence as stated in
6C-7.05(1) to the satisfaction of the registering
authority that the applicant has maintained residency
in the state for the twelve months immediately prior to
qualification required to establish residence for tuition
purposes. In the absence of such evidence, the appli-
cant shall not be reclassified as a "resident for tuition
purposes." It is recommended that the application for
reclassification be accompanied by a certified copy of
a declaration of intent to establish legal domicile in the
state, which intent must have been filed with the Clerk
of the Circuit Court as provided by Section 222.17,
Florida Statutes. If the request for reclassification and
the necessary documentation is not received by the
registrar prior to the last day of registration for the term
EXPENSES / 23
in which the student intends to be reclassified, the
student will not be reclassified for that term.
(6) Appeal from a determination denying "resident for
tuition purposes" status to applicant therefore may be
initiated after appropriate administrative remedies are
exhausted by the filing of a petition for review pursuant
to Section 120.68 F.S.
(7) Any student granted status as a "resident for tuition
purposes," which status is based on a sworn statement
which is false shall, upon determination of such falsity,
be subject to such disciplinary sanctions as may be im-
posed by the president of the university.

REGISTRATION AND
INSTRUCTIONAL FEES
The University Calendar appearing at the front of this,
Catalog sets forth the beginning and ending dates of each
semester.
Fees are payable on the dates listed in that Calendar or
the dates shown on statements sent those participating in
Advance Registration. Payment of fees is an integral part
of the registration process. Registration (including pay-
ment of fees) must be completed on or-before the proper
due date. Student Financial Services, the Hub, must be
provided a properly executed authorization for payment
in cases where fees are to be paid by a previously
approved loan, scholarship, etc., prior to the deadline
published in the Calendar.
Liability is incurred for all credit hours remaining on a
student's schedule at the close of the drop/add period
each semester.
ASSESSMENT OF FEES
Students must assess and pay their own fees. University
personnel will not be held accountable for proper assess-
ment or mathematical accuracy of calculations.
The fee structure for the academic year 1986-87 is'
based upon the number of credit hours per course, as
follows:
Non-Florida
Course Level Florida Resident Resident
5000-9999* $58.20** $171.60**'***
*Includes Thesis and dissertation courses.
**These are subject to change for summer terms.
***This figure includes in-state fees.
A student must be registered during the terms of the
qualifying examination and the final examination, and
during the term in which the degree is awarded.
STATE EMPLOYEES' FREE
ENROLLMENT
Detailed information on the waiver of registration fees
for permanent full-time employees of the state may be
obtained from the Office of the Registrar.
Those who have been employed on a permanent full-
time basis for at least six months may be permitted to

basis.
SPECIAL FEES
Audit Fee.-Fees for audited courses are the same as
those listed above for Florida students. The audit fee is
the same for Florida and non-Florida students.
Student Health Fee.-In prior semesters, the health fee
was a flat rate assessment determined by hours of enroll-
ment. Since Fall 1986, the health fee has been assessed
on a per credit hour basis and is included in the basic
hourly rate per course level. This health fee is not a part
of any health insurance. Students registered in off-
campus programs may request a waiver of this fee in
combination with the Athletic Fee and the Student

Approved waivers must have department approval and
be delivered to Student Financial Services prior to the fee
payment deadline. Final fee waiver approval will be
granted at the discretion of the University Controller,
Scientific Laboratory Fee.--Scientific laboratory fees
are now being assessed for certain courses where labora-

subject to the late registration charge.
2. Late Payment Charge-$25.00-All fees must be
paid by 2:30 p.m. on the fee payment deadline date

waiver.
A student who believes that any of the late charges should
not be assessed can complete a petition for the waiver of
the late charge with the appropriate office as follows:
Late Registration Charge-If due to University error this
charge is assessed, the student may obtain and com-
plete a petition for waiver of this fee in the Office of the

developments in the Gainesville area with zone map loca-
tions. Also in the packet is an information brochure on
rental leases, deposits, rates, and insurances; a city bus
route map and schedule; and utility application and
hook-up forms. The Off-Campus Office also maintains
updated vacancy information on share (roommate
wanted), mobile homes, rental houses, and other rental

MAJOR ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTATION
CENTER (MAIO
The Major Analytical Instrumentation Center (MAIC)
was established in 1982 to help make available complex
modern analytical instrumentation and to promote its
efficient usage on the campus and in the state. This is
accomplished by coordinating campuswide usage, help-
ing to provide resources for. maintenance, upgrading
existing instruments and developing new techniques,
planning purchases of major new instruments, training'
and supervising users, and providing professional scien-
tists to supervise the solution of individual problems.
Center personnel also direct users to other campus
facilities, if necessary. For example, the Institute of Food
and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS) and the Department of
Chemistry both have a number of analytical facilities that
are available to some users.
The. instruments involved include several electron
microscopes (TEM, SEM, AEM) with full analytical and
imaging capabilities, instruments directed toward surface
analysis (i.e., AES, ISS, SIMS and XPS, RBS, PIXE and
NRA), and several mass spectrometers.
Education and training are achieved by a variety of
means. The MAIC offers short courses annually in several
specialized areas, e.g., scanning electron microscopy,
transmission electron microscopy, vacuum technology,
surface science, and optical microscopy. These are open
both for graduate credit and to those outside the univer-
sity community. (The Chemistry Department, IFAS, and
the Engineering and Industrial Experiment Station also
regularly offer several short courses of a complementary
nature.) Some individually supervised training directed
by Center personnel is available to graduate students.
The overall aim of the MAIC is thus to make possible
the solution of any scientific or technological problem
that requires state-of-the-art analytical instrumentation
and to make these capabilities accessible to all university
and state personnel. Cooperation with state industries is
also encouraged where this is legal and appropriate.
The administration and professional staff of the MAIC
are located in 217 Materials Science and Engineering
Building where further information may be obtained
upon request.

drawn from art, language and literature, music,
philosophy, and religion.
FLORIDA STATE MUSEUM
The Florida State Museum was created by an act of the
Legislature in 1917 as a department of the University of
Florida. Through its affiliation with the University, it
carried dual responsibility as the State Museum of Florida
and the University Museum.
The Museum is located at the corner of Museum Road
and Newell Drive in a modern facility completed in
1970. The public halls are open from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.
Monday through Saturday, and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sundays.
The Museum is closed on Christmas Day. There is no
admission charge.
The Museum operates as a center of research in anthro-
pology and natural history. Its accessory functions as an
educational arm of the University are carried forward
through interpretive displays and scientific publications.
Under the administrative control of the director are the
three departments of the Museum: Natural Sciences,
staffed by scientists and technicians concerned with the
study and expansion of the research collections of
animals; Anthropology, whose staff members are con-
cerned with the study of historic and prehistoric people
and their cultures; Interpretation, staffed by specialists in
the interpretation of knowledge through museum exhibit
techniques and education programs. Members of the
scientific and educational staff of the Museum hold dual
appointments in appropriate teaching departments.
Through these appointments, they participate in both
undergraduate and graduate teaching programs.
The Allyn Museum of Entomology, Sarasota, is part of
the Department of Natural Sciences of the Florida State
Museum. The combined Sarasota and Gainesville hold-
ings in Lepidoptera rank the Allyn Museum of Ento-
mology as the largest in the western hemisphere and the
premier Lepidoptera research center in the world. The
Allyn Museum publishes the Bulletin of the Allyn
Museum of Entomology and sponsors the Karl Jordan
Medal. The Allyn Collection serves as a major source for
taxonomic and biogeographic research by a number of
Florida State Museum and Department of Zoology
faculty and students, as well as a great many visiting
entomologists from around the world.
.The Swisher Memorial Tract and the Ordway Preserve
32 / GENERAL INFORMATION
are adjacent pieces of land totalling some 9,300 acres.
The land includes an array of habitats'including marsh,
lakes, sandhills and mesic hammocks. Jointly adminis-
tered by the School of Forest Resources and Conser-
vation and the Florida State Museum, this area supports
several research activities centering on the ecology of
threatened species and the restoration of the native
longleaf pine growth in the sandhills. Thesis and
dissertation research projects consistent with the aims of
the preserve are actively encouraged.
The herbarium of the University of Florida is also a part
of the Florida State Museum. It contains over 150,000
specimens of vascular plants and 170,000 specimens of
nonvascular plants. In addition, the herbarium operates a
modern gas chromatographic/mass spectrometer labora-
tory for the study and identification of natural plant
products.
The research collections are under the care of curators
who encourage the scientific study of the Museum's
holdings. Materials are constantly being added to the col-
lections both through gifts from friends and as a result of
research activities of the Museum staff. The archae-
ological and ethnological collections are noteworthy,
particularly in the aboriginal and Spanish colonial
material remains from the Southeastern United States and
the Caribbean. There are extensive study collections of
birds, mammals, mollusks, reptiles, amphibians, fish,
invertebrate and vertebrate fossils, and a bioacoustic
archive consisting of original recordings of animal
sounds. Opportunities are provided for students, staff,
and visiting scientists to use the collections. Research
and field work are presently sponsored in the archae-
ological, paleontological, and zoological fields. Students
interested in these specialties should make application to
the appropriate teaching department. Graduate assistant-
ships are available in the Museum in areas emphasized
in its research programs.
UNIVERSITY PRESSES OF FLORIDA
The University of Florida is host to the State University
System's scholarly publishing facility, University Presses
of Florida. The goals of the systemwide publishing pro-
gram implemented by University Presses of Florida are
expressed in Board of Regents' policy:
... to publish books, monographs, journals, and other
types of scholarly or creative works. The Press shall
publish original works by state university faculty
members but it may also publish meritorious works
originating elsewhere and may republish out-of-print
works.
Each university's faculty publishing committee is inde-
pendently responsible for selecting works for publication
through the facilities of University Presses of Florida. At
the University of Florida, the University Press Board of
Managers oversees the locally determined publishing
program.
The purpose of the University of Florida Press is to en-
courage, seek out, and publish original and scholarly
manuscripts appropriate to a university recognized for
the quality of its research and scholarship. In addition to
its broad range of state, regional, and Latin American
titles, the Press publishes books of general interest.
The University of Florida Press Board of Managers, 15
scholars appointed by the President of the University,
determines policies of publication relating to the accep-
tance or rejection of manuscripts and the issuance of
author contracts. Each year the board examines nu-
merous manuscripts submitted not only by University
faculty members but by authors from throughout the
world.
University Presses of Florida is a member of the Associa-
tion of American University Presses and of the Association
of American Publishers, Inc.
Students and members of the faculty and staff are cor-
dially invited to visit the Press offices at 15 N.W. 15th
Street, adjacent to the campus.
INTERDISCIPLINARY GRADUATE
STUDIES PROGRAMS
INTERNATIONAL STUDIES
As the leading institution of higher education in the
State, the University of Florida has long been aware of
Florida's unique international position. By the beginning
of the century, the University had begun to focus its at-
tention on the Latin American nations. Advanced degrees
were given in Latin American studies as early as 1927,
and by the midcentury a School of Inter-American
Studies had been formed.
During the last two decades, the University of Florida's
commitment to international studies has expanded ra-
pidly. This expansion has resulted in the creation of a
Center for Latin American Studies, a Center for African
Studies, a Center for Tropical Agriculture, a Center for In-
ternational Student and Faculty Exchanges, a prograrp in
international relations, and an English Language Institute
for speakers of other languages. Programs in Asian
Studies, Soviet and East European Studies, and West
European Studies have been added to the undergraduate
curriculum. The University of Florida has participated in
programs of assistance and development in many major
areas of the world: Africa, South America, Middle
America, and Southeast Asia. There has also been a cor-
responding increase in the number of faculty members
involved in teaching and in research within the field of
international studies.
In January 1971, the University opened the $1.6 mil-
lion federally funded Graduate School and International
Studies Building, dedicated and named Linton E. Grinter
Hall. The modern four story building contains faculty
offices, study cubicles, and seminar rooms, as well as the
offices of the Graduate School, the Division of Sponsored
Research, the Center for African Studies, the Center for
International Studies and Programs, and the Center for
Latin American Studies.
The expansion of efforts in these directions represents a
conviction on the part of the University that today's
students must be aware, in more than a superficial way,
of developments and trends outside our national boun-
daries if they are to live in a world of peace and harmony.
International education is essential for the citizenry and
leaders of the twenty-first century-the students of today.
As an indication of the University's continuing com-
mitment to international studies and its importance to all
areas of graduate education, in June 1985, the Provost
asked the Dean of the Graduate School to accept the ad-
ditional assignment of Dean of International Studies and
Programs. In this capacity, the Dean will coordinate the
INTERDISCIPLINARY GRADUATE STUDIES / 33
activities of the University's Council on International
Studies and Programs and represent the University at var-
ious meetings and on councils and committees relating
to international academic activities, projects, and
enterprises.
The Center for International Student and Faculty Ex-
changes is a service organization to facilitate administra-
tion of international student and faculty exchanges and
coordination and enrichment of exchange and research
programs which have an interdisciplinary relationship. It
provides the vehicle for application for and receipt of
federally funded institutional area studies programs,
assists administratively in functions involving inter-
disciplinary technical assistance programs abroad,
counsels students interested in study abroad, and assists
faculty in seeking funds for support of international
education and research.
, The English Language Institute offers a noncredit,
nondegree program in English as a second language for
persons with some knowledge of the language who wish
to increase their competence. Courses at all levels are
offered in the fall and spring semesters and, in the
summer term, instruction is split into two separate
sessions. A student may begin studies in any of the four
sessions. The program emphasizes oral and written skills
needed by persons who wish to attend a university in the
'U.S. providing short courses in a variety of subjects,
including TOEFL preparation. In addition to regular
English Language Institute testing, an institutional admin-
istration of TOEFL is given near the end of fall spring and
summer terms. Further information is available from the
Director, English Language Institute, 313 Norman Hall.
The Center for African Studies, established with finan-
cial assistance under Title VI of the Higher Education Act,
is responsible for the direction and coordination of inter-
disciplinary instructional and research activities related
to Africa. It cooperates with departments in administering
and staffing a coordinated Certificate Program in African
Studies. This program provides a broad foundation for
students preparing for teaching or other professional
careers in which a knowledge of Africa is essential.
Graduate Fellowships and Assistantships.-Students
admitted to the Graduate School in pursuit of a degree
through a specific department are eligible to compete for
graduate assistantships and Title VI FLAS fellowships
through the Center for African Studies.
Extracurricular Activities.-The Center regularly spon-
sors conferences on African topics, and a colloquium
series-BARAZA-with invited lecturers. The Center has
a fairly wide ranging set of outreach activities addressed
to public school teachers as well as community colleges
and other universities. The Center is responsible for
editing the African Studies Review, which is the journal
of the African Studies Association.
Library Resources.-The Center supports directly as
well as through various departments selective library
acquisitions to meet the instructional and research needs
of the faculty and students. The Office of Instructional
Resources holds a number of educational films on
African topics, and the audiovisual library of the Depart-
ment of Art holds approximately 5,000 African art slides.
African Art.-The University Gallery holds an exten-
sive collection of African sculpture and cloth. The
Rosenbloom Collection, 37 pieces of African sculpture,
is housed at the Florida State Museum.
Graduate Degree Programs.-The African Studies
Center does not offer interdisciplinary graduate degrees.
With the cooperation of its participating departments, it
offers the Certificate in African Studies in conjunction
with the master's and doctoral degrees.
Requirements for the Certificate in African Studies with
a master's degree are (a) at least 18 credits of course work
in a departmental major, 15 of which should relate to
Africa; (b) 9 credits of course work related to Africa and
distributed in at least two other departments; and (c) a
thesis on an African topic.
Requirements for the Certificate in African Studies with
the doctoral degree are (a) the doctoral requirements of
the major department; (b) 18 credits of course work
related to Africa in two or more other departments; (c) a
dissertation on an African topic based on field work in
Africa; (d) knowledge of a language appropriate to the
area of specialization.
Inquiries about the various programs and activities of
the Center should be addressed to the Director, Center
for African Studies, 470 Grinter Hall.
International Relations, a field of specialization leading
to the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees, is offered through the
Department of Political Science. In addition to the M.A.
and Ph.D. with a major in political science which may
include a field in international relations, the University
offers an M.A. and Ph.D. with a major in political
science-international relations. The political science-
international relations program is designed to provide
professional education to those whose primary interest is
a career in foreign relations, whether in the public or
private sector. Requirements for the M.A. are an interdis-
ciplinary core of 16 credits, and 24-26 credits in three
discipline-based tracks. Two of the three tracks must be
in political science, while the third may be chosen from a
wide range of other disciplines, including economics,
journalism, agriculture, statistics, and computer sciences.
For the Ph.D., the student must complete the require-
ments for the M.A. and then has the option of taking (1)
either three fields in political science or (2) two fields in
political science and a third in another discipline.
The Center for Latin American Studies is responsible
for directing and coordinating graduate training, re-
search, and other academic activities related to the Latin
American area.
SMaster of Arts Degree in Latin American Studies.-The
interdisciplinary area degree offered through the Center
can be pursued in two options. The first is a traditional
program which emphasizes training and research focused
on developing a greater appreciation and understanding
of Latin America's cultures, traditions, and languages.
Requirements for the major concentration are 14 credits
consisting primarily of Latin American language or area
courses in one department which may be Anthropology,
Economics, Food and Resource Economics, Geography,
History, Political Science, Romance languages (Spanish
and Portuguese), or Sociology.
The second alternative clusters course work and re-
search along a selected topical field, with the emphasis
on interdisciplinary problem-solving training applied to
contemporary Latin American problems. Under this
option, an individualized program of instruction is
developed to build on prior professional or administra-
tive experiences and prepare the individual for technical
and professional work in Latin America. Requirements
34 / GENERAL INFORMATION
for the major are 14 credits in an interdisciplinary,
applied course of study focused on Latin America which
may include such fields as rural or urban development,
regional analysis, demography, social change, tropical.
agriculture, migration, natural resource management,
health delivery, mass communications, or museum
studies and conservation.
Other requirements, common to both options, are (a)
12 credits of Latin American language and/or area
courses in at least two other departments, (included in
this requirement is at least one semester of LAS 6938); (b)
a thesis on a Latin American topic for which up to six
credits are given through registration in LAS 6971; and
(c) a reading, writing, and speaking knowledge of a Latin
American language.
The M.A. with a program in Latin American area studies
is intended primarily as a degree for persons who are not
aiming at a teaching career in traditional academic
departments but who require either a broad knowledge
of Latin American cultures and appropriate language
competence or interdisciplinary, problem-related, area-
focused training for their professional career objectives.
This program is so structured, however, that students
may move directly from it into departmental Ph.D. pro-
grams.
Minimum requirements for admission to the program
are (1) a grade average of B (3.00) for all upperdivision
undergraduate work; (2) a combined verbal-quantitative
score of at least 1000 on the Graduate Record Examina-
tion; (3) an adequate proficiency in reading, writing,
aural comprehension, and speaking of either Spanish or
Portuguese. Students not meeting the required profi-
ciency will be required to take an appropriate remedial
course.
Exceptions to the above requirements are made only
when these and other criteria, such as letters of recom-
mendation, are reviewed by the Center, recommended
by the Center, and approved by the Dean of the
Graduate School.

pus of the University of Florida, including the Latin
American Collection of the main library, have Latin
American holdings totaling over 200,000 volumes as
well as important manuscript materials in the original, in
transcription, and on microfilm. In terms of subject mat-
ter, holdings are strongest in history and the social
sciences, but increasing attention is being given to the
environmental sciences and to literature. In terms of
region, they are strongest in the Caribbean and circum-
Caribbean, but Brazilian materials are being augmented
rapidly.
Other Activities.-The Center sponsors conferences
'and colloquia on Latin American topics, supports publi-
cation of scholarly books, monographs, and papers, and
cooperates with other University units in conducting
developmental programs in Latin America.

INTERDISCIPLINARY GRADUATE STUDIES / 35
The Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS) is a
consortium of major educational and research institu-
tions in the United States and abroad, created to promote
understanding of tropical environments and their intel-
ligent use by man. The University of Florida is a charter
member. Graduate field courses in Central America are
coordinated with the regional office in Costa Rica.
Courses with varying content are offered in the agri-
cultural sciences, earth sciences, forestry, geography,
marine science, meteorology, and terrestrial biology dur-
ing the spring and summer terms.
Additional courses are being planned: Students are
selected 'on a competitive basis from universities
throughout the country. A University of Florida graduate
student may register for eight credits in an appropriate
departmental course cross-listed with OTS, e.g., PCB
6357C or GEA 6109. The University of Florida does not
require tuition for OTS courses. OTS offers pilot-study
research grants to junior faculty and graduate students
who have had limited tropical experience. Further in-
formation can be obtained from the OTS campus office,
223 Bartram Hall.
The Center for Tropical Agriculture, within the Insti-
tute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, seeks to stimulate
interest in research and curriculum related to the tropical
environment and its development.
Minor in Tropical Agriculture.-An interdisciplinary
minor in tropical agriculture may be planned at both the
master's and doctoral levels by students majoring in agri-
culture, forestry, and other fields where knowledge of the
tropics is relevant. The minor may include courses
treating characteristics of the tropics: its soils, water,
vegetation, climate, agricultural production, and the
language and culture of tropical countries.
Certificate Program.-The Cerfiticate in Tropical
Agriculture (CTA) is available for any student enrolled at
the University of Florida. The CTA requires a minimum
of 27 hours of appropriately selected courses with some,
and possibly all, of these hours in addition to the re-
quirements for the current degree sought by the student.
Up to seven hours of research credit, or its equivalent,
may be applied toward CTA requirements when this re-
search and experience have a clear relationship to
agriculture in developing countries. In addition, candi-
dates must show a level of competence in an appropriate
foreign language, although language hours will not be
counted in the CTA.
The 27. hours of requirements are divided between
social sciences and agricultural sciences. Nine hours are
needed in social sciences, five of which must be area-
specific and four non-area-specific. The agricultural
sciences require 18 hours, consisting of 13 hours in
natural sciences and 5 in other agricultural sciences.
Each student will be assigned to an interdisciplinary
committee of three faculty members, one member being
replaced each year. This committee is responsible for
selecting the appropriate courses commensurate with the
individual student's background. Students interested in
this program should consult the Dean for Resident In-
struction in the College of Agriculture.
Research.-The Center provides research grants to
faculty members and their graduate students and assists
in the coordination of interdisciplinary research funded
elsewhere. Development assistance contracts in agricul-
ture and related fields frequently have research com-
ponents.
Student Support.-Students within the College of
Agriculture and the School of Forest Resources and Con-
servation pursuing a minor in tropical agriculture are
eligible for research grants awarded by the Center
through academic departments.
Other Activities.-The Center seeks a broad dissemina-
tion of knowledge about tropical agriculture through the
sponsoring of conferences, short courses, and seminars
featuring leading authorities on the tropics; publication
'of books, monographs and proceedings; and through
acquisition of materials for the library and the data bank.

(CCAP) in Tallahassee is jointly supported with Florida
A&M University.
The Florida Agricultural Experiment Station is cooper-
ating with the Brooksville Beef Cattle Research Station,
Brooksville, a USDA field laboratory, in its beef cattle
and pasture production and management programs and
with the National Weather Service, Ruskin, in the
agricultural weather service for Florida.
In addition to the above, research is conducted
through the IFAS International Programs Office, the
Centers for Natural Resources Programs and for Biomass
Energy Systems, the Florida Medical Entomological Lab-
oratory at Vero Beach, and the Center for Aquatic
Weeds.
DIVISION OF SPONSORED RESEARCH
The Division has two general functions: (1) the ad-
ministration and promotion of the sponsored research
program and (2) the support of the total research program
of the University in a manner which produces maximum
benefit to the University and the greatest service to the
State of Florida. All proposals for the sponsorship of
research, grants-in-aid, training grants, or educational ser-
vice agreements must receive the approval of the Vice
President for Research. Subsequent negotiations with
potential contracting agencies or sponsors of research
projects are carried on under the Vice President's super-
vision.
The activities of the Division of Sponsored Research
are intended to stimulate growth and to assist in expanding
a balanced research program throughout the University.
These activities are intimately related to the support of
the graduate program. They are also intended to relieve
principal investigators and departments of many of the
detailed administrative and reporting duties connected
with some sponsored research. The duties and respon-
sibilities of the Division are designed to assist principal
investigators in seeking sponsors for their projects. In
direct contacts between a principal investigator and a
potential sponsor, however, prior clearance should be
obtained from the Division to insure a uniformity in con-
tract requirements and to avoid duplication of nego-
tiations with the same sponsor.
Policies and procedures.for the operation of the Divi-
sion are developed by a Board of Directors working with
the Vice President within the general framework of the
administrative policies and procedures of the University.
The Graduate Council serves as adviser on scientific mat-
ters and on matters relating to the graduate program.
The law establishing the Division of Sponsored Re-
search enables the utilization of some recovered indirect
cost funds in the support of innovative research. The
Board of Directors of the Division has the responsibility
for the award of these funds. For information write the
Vice President for Research, Division of Sponsored
Research, 223 Grinter Hall.
FLORIDA ENGINEERING AND INDUSTRIAL
EXPERIMENT STATION
The Florida Engineering and Industrial Experiment Sta-
tion (EIES) developed from early research activities of the
engineering faculty and was officially established in
1941 by the Legislature as an integral part of the College
of Engineering. Its mandate is "to organize and promote
the prosecution of research projects of engineering and
related sciences, with special reference to such of these
problems as are important to the industries of Florida."
The College and the Station form an interlocking rela-
tionship, with the EIES serving as the research arm of the
College. In this capacity the EIES fulfills its function of
conducting research on many of Florida's most signifi-
cant problems ranging from energy to water resources,
environmental issues to health-related activities. Of
course many of these problems transcend the State and
are also of national concern. The Station has developed a
national and international reputation in many areas and
the faculty are at the forefront of their fields. This has a
major positive impact on the College since it makes good
teaching possible, exposes students to many important
engineering problems normally not encountered in a col-
lege program, and helps the faculty better instill students
with the qualifications necessary for the successful prac-
tice of their profession. Moreover, both undergraduate
and graduate students frequently find employment on
research projects.
The Station receives a small but important portion of its
operating funds from the State; this funding base results
in a better than 10 to 1 return from contracts and grants
with governmental agencies, foundations and industrial
organizations. EIES has excellent facilities and faculty in
many diverse fields such as computer-aided engineering,
automation sciences and manufacturing engineering,
electronic devices, optical communication and related
microfabrication techniques, a variety of solar and other
alternative energy technologies, biomaterials and other
new materials, biomedical engineering, computer appli-
cations, information processing systems, and a broad
spectrum of activities related to public works, environ-
mental and coastal engineering.

One of the principal areas of current interest is the
identification of linear relations and systems from noisy
data using the concept of positivity. Applications of this
work include model building in such areas a econo-
metrics, biometrics, psychometrics, etc. Another prin-
cipal area of activity is the control of linear discrete-time
and continuous-time systems using algebraic methods
and techniques from the theory of functions of several
complex variables. A portion of this work centers on the
development of a control theory for linear systems whose
coefficients belong to a commutative ring or algebra,
with applications to systems with time delays, systems
depending on parameters, and spatially distributed
systems. Recent work has also been directed toward the
control of linear systems with time-varying coefficients
and the control of linear systems with parameter or
modelling uncertainty (e.g., robust stabilization).

these twin activities is to investigate specific problems
through application of basic scientific principles and to
provide the skilled personnel needed by the mineral in-
dustries. The current emphasis in research is on process-
ing of low grade phosphate ores, waste disposal pro-
blems in the phosphate industry, processing of energy
minerals such as coal and oil shale, fine particle process-
ing, applied surface and colloid chemistry and
hydrometallurgy. These programs are truly inter-
disciplinary and involve scientists and engineers from
such additional departments as Chemical Engineering,

University of Florida was established in 1975 to support
scholarly research on government involvement in the
private sector of the market. PPRC has focused on alter-
native ways policymakers might approach looming eco-
nomic problems and on a search for solutions that
recognize the fundamentals of decision-making with
respect to economic structure at both micro and macro
levels.
PPRC is an interdisciplinary research center in the Col-
lege of Business Administration at the University of
.Florida. For information write Dr. Robert F. Lanzillotti,

PUBLIC UTILITY RESEARCH CENTER
Florida's Public Utility Research Center (PURC) was
organized in the Spring of 1972. Its sponsors include
public utility company executives; university professors
and administrators, and the Fldrida Public Service Com-
mission. PURC's primary goals and objectives are
1. to increase student and faculty awareness of the utility
industry and its problems.
2. to undertake research designed to help solve
problems faced by the energy and communication
industries, and
3. to train students for employment by utility companies
and regulatory authorities.
PURC seeks to accomplish these goals by providing
student fellowships and assistantships, by supporting
faculty research, by holding conferences and seminars to
discuss both major policy issues and current faculty
research, and by serving as a contact point between
business, government, and the academic community.
The research conducted is disseminated in working
papers, journals, and books, as well as in professional
meetings and governmental hearings. Major areas of in-
terest include measurement of the cost of capital, financ-
ing utility construction programs, the restructuring of the
telecommunications industry, telephone measured ser-
vice pricing, optimal electric rate structures, and other
timely issues which are important to utility companies,
consumers, and regulators.
Contact the Executive Director, Public Utility Research
Center, 355 Business, for information.
REAL ESTATE RESEARCH CENTER
The Real Estate Research Center was established in
1973 to facilitate the study of business and economic
problems related to real estate. Faculty members in the
44, / GENERAL INFORMATION
field of real estate serve as the core staff members of the
Center, with research' assistance provided by several
graduate students. Faculty members in other departments
and colleges participate in projects requiring multi-
disciplinary inputs. Graduate students also conduct their
own research for theses and dissertations in the Center.
The Center also sponsors or cosponsors a number of
continuing education programs in real estate each year.
Courses and seminars typically are presented in the areas
of mortgage banking, financial institutions, real estate ap-
praisal, and real estate investment analysis. Most of these
courses and seminars are open to full-time under-
graduate and graduate students in real estate at the
University of Florida.
Many types of research projects are conducted in the
Center. They range from economic and social issues in
land use planning to analysis of the managerial process
and rates of, return in various types of real estate
businesses and properties The Center has developed tex-
tual materials for organizations such as the Florida Real
Estate Commission and the American Institute of Real
Estate Appraisers.
Contract research projects in the Center have been
sponsored and funded by various agencies of the Florida
state government, city governments, the Florida Real
Estate Commission, and the Society of Real Estate Ap-
praisers Foundation.
CENTER FOR SENSORY STUDIES
Sensory studies deal with those systems which provide
an organism with information about its environment.
Traditionally, these topics range from vision and hearing
to biological clocks and homing activity. Sensory studies
at the University of Florida provide a special opportunity
to the talented student because of the unusual conver-
gence of a strong faculty and a set of unique facilities
available within the University and peculiar to the State
of Florida and its regional location in the United States.
The graduate studies envisioned by the faculty call for
broad training in an established academic discipline,
which may be a specialized area within one of the bio-
logical, medical, or physical sciences, and an introduc-
tory survey of the senses, in-depth training in one or
more sense modalities (vision, hearing, chemical, etc.)
and special advanced studies in basic or applied techni-
ques. The intent is to develop a broad perspective as well
as necessary skills within an established academic dis-
cipline. This provides the foundation upon which sen-
sory studies will be developed. Affiliation with an
academic degree granting program will also provide an
additional basis for future professional affiliation. Since
students will enter the sensory program with differing
backgrounds, the program of studies will be tailored to
the perceived needs of the student.
Correspondence should be addressed to the Director,
Center for Sensory Studies, Physics Department, 278
Williamson Hall.
URBAN AND REGIONAL RESEARCH CENTER
The Center stimulates and coordinates inter-
disciplinary research on urban and regional affairs and
works closely with faculty and graduate students in any
discipline concerned with local, state, regional, national,
or international human settlements. Since the major
thrust of URRC is research, no formal courses or degree
programs are offered. However, URRC seeks the partici-
pation of faculty and graduate students who are in-
terested in research on urban and regional topics. The
Center maintains an updated listing of grant announce-
ments and is ready to assist in the development of
research proposals. Further inquiries should be made to
the Director, Urban and Regional Research Center, 2326
Turlington' Hall.
CENTER FOR WETLANDS
The Center for Wetlands is an intercollege research
division dedicated to understanding wetlands and their
role in the partnership of humanity and nature. The
Center encourages interdisciplinary research on ecology
problems, management, reclamation, and effective use
of wetlands. The Center advances knowledge through
special research approaches such as systems ecology
modeling and simulation, energy analysis and planning,
field experiments on vegetation response to water con-
trol, reclamation of wetlands and surrounding water-
sheds, and regional planning.
The Center fosters campus and statewide communica-
tion through a central workshop activity, organized
research projects of county and state concern, wetlands
publications, conferences and short courses, research
data collections, and proposals for curricula. Support of
faculty and graduate students is provided by active pro-
jects. The Center has projects with several state and
federal agencies (the Environmental Protection Agency,
the National Science Foundation, the Florida Depart-
ment of Environmental Regulation, the Florida Institute of
Phosphate Research, and others).
Students with graduate majors in related departments
may arrange degree programs with emphases on
wetlands using Center facilities and activities. For addi-
tional information, contact the Director or Associate

Two curriculum options for graduate study toward
either degree are offered. The extension option is for
those persons currently employed or preparing to be
employed in the cooperative extension service, in-
cluding home economics, agriculture, 4-H, and other
related areas. The teaching option is for persons who are
teaching vocational agriculture in the public schools and
those who wish to enter the profession and require basic
certification.
A prospective graduate student need not have majored
in agricultural and extension education as an under-
graduate. ,However, students with an insufficient
background in either agricultural and extension educa-
tion or technical agriculture will need to include some
basic courses in these areas in their program.

These members of the faculty of the Florida State University (*) and
Florida Atlantic University (t) are also members of the graduate faculty of
the University of Florida and participate in the doctoral degree program
in the University of Florida Department of Anthropology.
The Department of Anthropology offers graduate work
leading to the Master of Arts (thesis or nonthesis option),
Master of Arts in Teaching, and Doctor of Philosophy
degrees. Graduate training is offered in applied anthro-
pology, social and cultural anthropology, archeology,
anthropological linguistics, and physical/biological an-
thropology.
There is a general option and an interdisciplinary one.
The general option allows students to concentrate at the
M.A. level on, the integration'of the four subfields of an-
thropology and to specialize at the Ph.D. level. The inter-
disciplinary alternative allows students to 1) concentrate
on one or two subfields of anthropology along with one
or more areas outside of anthropology and 2) begin early
specialization and integration of a subfield of anthro-
pology and an outside field. More information about
these two options is found in the departmental publica-
tion on graduate programs and policies that may be ob-
tained by writing directly to the department.
The Department of Anthropology generally requires a
minimum score of 1100 on the Graduate Record Ex-

These members of the faculty of the Florida State University (*) and
Florida Atlantic University (t) are also members of the graduate faculty of
the University of Florida and participate in the doctoral degree program
in the University of Florida Department of Anthropology.
The Department of Anthropology offers graduate work
leading to the Master of Arts (thesis or nonthesis option),
Master of Arts in Teaching, and Doctor of Philosophy
degrees. Graduate training is offered in applied anthro-
pology, social and cultural anthropology, archeology,
anthropological linguistics, and physical/biological an-
thropology.
There is a general option and an interdisciplinary one.
The general option allows students to concentrate at the
M.A. level on, the integration'of the four subfields of an-
thropology and to specialize at the Ph.D. level. The inter-
disciplinary alternative allows students to 1) concentrate
on one or two subfields of anthropology along with one
or more areas outside of anthropology and 2) begin early
specialization and integration of a subfield of anthro-
pology and an outside field. More information about
these two options is found in the departmental publica-
tion on graduate programs and policies that may be ob-
tained by writing directly to the department.
The Department of Anthropology generally requires a
minimum score of 1100 on the Graduate Record Ex-
ANTHROPOLOGY / 57
amination and a 3.2 overall grade point average based
on a 4.0 system.
Candidates for the M.A. and M.A.T. are required to
take ANT 6038 and 6917. No more than six hours of
ANT 6971 will be counted toward the minimum require-
ments for the M.A. with thesis. Knowledge of a foreign
language may be required by the student's supervisory
committee. Other requirements for the program are listed
in this Catalog under the Requirements for Master's
Degrees.
Students enrolled in the M.A. program who wish to
continue their studies for a Ph.D. must apply to the
department for certification. Minimum requirements will
normally include 1) a minimum grade point'average of
3.5 in all graduate anthropology courses and a minimum
of 3.2 in other courses, 2) a grade of pass on either the In-
tegrative Basic Knowledge Examination or the compre-
hensive examination, and 3) a thesis, report, or paper
judged to be of excellent quality by the student's super-
visory committee. In most cases, candidates for the Ph.D.
must achieve competency in a language other than Eng-
lish. Entering students who already have earned a
master's degree may apply for direct admission to the
doctoral program.
Study tor the Ph.D. degree in anthropology at the
University of Florida by qualified master's degree reci-
pients' at Florida Atlantic University and Florida State
University is facilitated by a cooperative arrangement in
which appropriate faculty members of these universities
are members of the graduate faculty of the University of
Florida.

The Department of Architecture offers graduate work
leading to the first professional degree, Master of Ar-
chitecture. Two years in residence are normally required
for completion. In addition to satisfying University re-
quirements for admission, applicants are required to sub-
mit to the Department of Architecture, 231 ARCH, Uni-
versity of Florida, the following: a portfolio of their work
in architecture and related fields; a statement of intent
and their objectives; and three letters of recommendation
from teachers or employers. This material must be re-
ceived by January 15 for consideration for admission in
the following fall. Applications for graduate admission,
including transcripts and GRE scores, must be received
in the Office of the Registrar by January 15.
The graduate Professional Core I is taught only in the
fall semester, is required of all graduate students, and is
prerequisite to the remaining course work. After comple-
tion of Professional Core I, the student is expected to pur-
sue studies related to a special field of interest-architec-
tural design, architectural structures, environmental
technology, or architectural preservation. Concentration
in this special field of interest should prepare the student
for architectural practice with an emphasis upon profes-
sional team membership. Additional information con-
cerning programs for each of these areas is available from
the department. The student's overall college experi-
ence, including undergraduate programs in architecture
and the two-year graduate program, is intended to be a
complete unit of professional education leading toward
practice in architecture or related professions. Field trips
are required of all students; students should plan to have
adequate funds available. It may be necessary to assess
studio fees to defray costs of base maps and other
generally used materials.
The graduate faculty of the department may elect to ad-
mit students who have a Bachelor of Architecture degree
from an accredited five-year professional degree program
for a one-year graduate program leading to the Master of
Architecture degree. In these cases, the minimum regis-
tration required is 30 credits, including six credits in ARC

Master of Fine Arts Degree: The Department of Art of-
fers the MFA degree with concentrations in ceramics,
creative photography, drawing, painting, printmaking,
sculpture, and multi-media. Enrollment is competitive
and limited. Candidates for admission should have ade-
quate undergraduate training in art. Deficiences may be
corrected before beginning graduate study. Applicants
for admission must submit a portfolio by March 1 for fall
admission. Minimum two years residency is normally re-
quired for completion of the requirements for this degree
which for studio majors culminates with an MFA exhibi-
tion. The department reserves the right to retain student
work for purposes of record, exhibition, or instruction.
The MFA requires 48 credit hours. ARH 6897 is re-
quired for all MFA majors. ARH 5805 is required for all
students who select the written thesis. Students electing
the creative project in lieu of written thesis should see the
Graduate Coordinator for department requirements.
Twenty-one hours are required in the area of specializa-
tion for studio majors which will be taken in the follow-
ing sequence: ART 6926C, ART 6927C, ART 6928C,
ART 6929C. Based on the student's academic needs, one
of the sequence classes will be repeated for credit. Ten
credits of art electives (four hours must be in art history),
six hours of outside electives, and six hours of individual
project or thesis complete the course requirements.
Normally, the Candidacy Review Committee will
review the student's progress at the end of the first year of
graduate study to determine the student's fitness for
candidacy. Failure to pass the review will require adjust-
ments to the student's program or, if warranted, dismissal
from the program.
Master of Arts Degree in Art History: The department
offers the Master of Arts with emphasis in areas of An-
cient, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Modern, and

(three credits), 28 hours with at least one course in four
areas of emphasis, and ARH 6971 (six credits). Nine
credits may be taken in related areas with the Graduate
Coordinator's approval.
Students must pass a comprehensive art history exam-
ination at the beginning of the second year for admission
to candidacy. Failure to pass the examination will result
in adjustments to the student's program or, if warranted,
dismissal from the program. Reading proficiency in a
foreign language appropriate to the major area of study
must be demonstrated before thesis research is begun.
Language courses are not applicable toward degree
credit.
Art history students may also participate in courses of-
fered by the State University System's programs in Lon-
don and Florence.
The department also offers classes in art conservation/
architectural preservation in cooperation with the Col-
lege of Architecture.

astronomy and astrophysics leading to the degrees of
Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy. Current
research fields include radio astronomy, astrometry and
data adjustment theory; cosmology; photometry of close
binaries and intrinsic variables; photometry of quasars
and galaxies; dynamical astronomy; structure, kinemat-
ics, and dynamics of galaxies; planetary magnetospheres;
lunar occultation observations; radio and optical in-
strumentation; and certain topics of theoretical stellar
astrophysics. Additional theoretical and laboratory
research directed toward conducting and interpreting
space experiments occurs 'in the department's Space
Astronomy Laboratory (Dr. J. L. Weinberg, Director). The
department is active in Voyager radioastronomical in-
vestigations of the magnetospheres of Jupiter, Saturn, and
Uranus.
Major Department Facilities.-Rosemary Hill Observa-
tory, about 30 miles from Gainesville, houses a 76-cm
reflector (cameras, spectrograph, several microprocessor-
based photometers, spectrum scanner), a 46-cm reflector
(camera, microprocessor-based photometer), and one
terminus of a 30-mile-baseline-radio interferometer. The
Radio Observatory, 50 miles from campus, is equipped
with low frequency (below 40 MHz) instrumentation
consisting of a 7-acre filled-aperature array, a number of
smaller antennas, advanced terminal equipment in-
cluding wide-band radio spectrographs, and the other
terminus of the 30-mile-baseline interferometer. Southern
Hemisphere observing facilities include the Mt. John
Observatory in New Zealand (operated jointly with the
Universities of Canterbury and Pennsylvania) and the
Maipu Radio Astronomical Observatory in Chile (in co-
operation with the University of Chile). Facilities on
campus include numerous mini- and microcomputers
(including a PDP1134), audio- and videotape processing
equipment, iris photometer, microdensitometer, blink
comparator and measuring engines. Off-campus facilities
of the Space Astronomy Laboratory include a microwave
analog scattering facility, a night sky observing facility
(Mt. Haleakala, Hawaii), a large coronagraph (vacuum)
test chamber, a space experiment assembly, a VAX 11/
750, and a test facility including a laminar-flow clean
room.
For direct admission to the program, a student should
have a degree in astronomy, physics or mathematics
from an accredited program. Students with degrees in
related fields, such as engineering, may be admitted with
the understanding that certain foundation courses will
have to be taken. If it seems desirable, an individual with
a strong background in physics may perform the grad-
uate research work in astronomy but take the qualifying
examination and degree in physics rather than
astronomy. All degree candidates are required as part of
their training to assist in the department's teaching pro-
gram. Complete details of the program and research
facilities may be obtained by writing the Chairman, 211

The Department of Botany offers graduate work
leading to the degrees of Master of Science, Master of
Agriculture, Master of Science in Teaching, and Doctor
of Philosophy.
Specific areas of specialization in botany include
anatomy/morphology with emphasis on tropical ferns,
aquatic and woody plants, and orchids; bryology;
development of seed plants, protoplast, cell and tissue
culture; ecology and environmental studies; cellular and
molecular genetics; mycology with emphasis on mor-
phology, systematics, and development; algology with
emphasis on algae of brine ponds; physiology and
biochemistry with emphasis on ion uptake, photosyn-
thesis and photorespiration, sugar metabolism and
transport, hormonal control of fungal reproduction and
cell wall synthesis; systematics with emphasis on
monographic and floristic studies; tropical botany.
For admission to graduate standing a student should
present credits equivalent to those required for under-
graduate majors in the department, namely 24 credits in
botany, a course in genetics with laboratory, mathe-
.matics through differential calculus; one year of college
physics, and chemistry through organic. Those admitted
without full equivalents of an undergraduate major will
be required to make up the deficiencies by passing
appropriate courses early in their graduate programs. A
reading knowledge of a foreign language and credit for
basic courses in zoology and bacteriology are desirable.
The program of graduate study for each student will be
determined by a supervisory committee. No more than
nine credits of BOT 6905 may be used to satisy the credit
64 / FIELDS OF INSTRUCTION
requirements for a master's degree. Each student
pursuing the Ph.D. degree will be required to pass a
written departmental examination on designated major
areas of botany prior to the oral portion of the qualifying
examination.
There are, in addition to the facilities of the department
for graduate work,the following special resources that
may be utilized in support of graduate student training
and research: (1) the .Florida Agricultural Experiment
Stations, (2) the Marine Sciences Center on the Gulf of
Mexico for studies in estuarine and marine habitats, (3)
the resources of the Welaka Conservation Reserve, (4)
the Center for Tropical Agriculture, which can support
studies in tropical and subtropical areas, and (5) the
Fairchild Tropical Garden for research in the systematics,
morphology and anatomy, and economic botany of trop-
ical plants.
To provide additional educational opportunities for
our graduate students in the form of a botanical garden
research and training internship program, the Depart-
ment of Botany has entered into an arrangement with the
Marie Selby Botanical Gardens of Sarasota. Under this ar-
rangement students spend a semester in Sarasota as part
of a regular degree program; the academic portions of
which are under the control of faculty members in the
Department of Botany. The course of study is specifically
designed by agreement among the student, the student's

*These members of the faculty of Florida Atlantic University are also
members of the graduate faculty of the University of Florida and
participate in the doctoral program in the University of Florida
Department of Chemistry.
The Department of Chemistry offers the Master of
Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees with speciali-
zation in analytical, organic, inorganic, or physical
chemistry. The nonthesis degree Master of Science in
Teaching is also offered with a major in chemistry.
New graduate students should have adequate under-
graduate training in inorganic, analytical, organic, and
physical chemistry. Normally this will include as a mini-
mum a year of general chemistry which may include
qualitative analysis, one semester of quantitative analy-
sis, one year of organic chemistry, one year of physical
chemistry, and one semester of advanced inorganic
chemistry. Additional courses in instrumental analysis,
advanced physical and organic chemistry are desirable.
Deficiencies in any of these areas may be corrected dur-
ing the first year of graduate study. Such deficiencies are
determined by a series of placement tests given prior to
registration, and the results of these tests are used in
planning the student's program.
CHEMISTRY / 69
Doctoral candidates are required to complete a series
of courses specified by the division of the Chemistry
Department in which they choose to major, CHM 6470,
and two out-of-major-division courses or equivalent
examinations. Additional courses may be required by the
student's supervisory committee or major professor.
Candidates must serve not less than one year as teach-
ing assistants. This requirement will be waived only
when, in the opinion of the department, unusual
circumstances justify such action.
A chemical-physics option is offered for students who
will be doing research in areas of physical chemistry
which require a strong background in physics. For this
option, a student meets the departmental requirements
for concentration in physical chemistry, except that only
one out-of-major division course is required. In addition,
a minimum of 15 credits in 4000 level or higher physics
courses or a minimum of eight such credits in physics
and eight in 4000 level or higher mathematics courses is
required.
Candidates for the master's degree are required to
complete any two core courses. The Master of Science
degree in chemistry requires a thesis. The nonthesis
degree Masterof Science in Teaching is offered with a
major in chemistry and requires a written paper of sub-
stantial length (30-50 pages) on an approved topic per-
taining to some phase of chemistry, under the course
CHM 6905.
