THE GRADUATE SCHOOL
ORGANIZATION AND HISTORY
The Graduate School consists of the dean, two asso-
ciate deans, the Graduate Council, and the graduate
faculty. General policies and standards of the Gradu-
ate 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 mini-
mum general standards of graduate work in the Uni-
versity and for the coordination of the graduate
programs of the various colleges and divisions of the
University. The responsibility for the detailed opera-
tions of graduate programs is vested in the individual
colleges, schools, divisions, and departments. In
most of the colleges an assistant dean or other official
is directly responsible for graduate study in that col-
lege.
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 petitions 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 disserta-
tions. No faculty member may perform any of these
functions without having been appointed to the grad-
uate 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 committee 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 be-
came the first Dean of the Graduate School. He was
succeeded upon his retirement in 1938 byT. M. Simp-
son, 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 Grad-
uate School, and Research Professor. Upon becom-
ing 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 University of Texas, where he had
served as Chairman of the Department of Physics. In
1971, Dr. Hanson was appointed Vice President for
Academic Affairs. Alexander G. Smith of the Depart-
ment 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 Ex-
ecutive 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 Chem-
istry. 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.
Dr. Stehli came to Florida from Case Western Re-
serve University where he had served as Samuel St.
John Professor of Geology, Chairman of the Depart-
ment of Geology, and Dean of Science and Engineer-
ing. In September 1982, Dr. Stehli became Dean of
the College of Geosciences at the University of
Oklahoma. Donald R. Price, Associate Dean for Re-
search and Professor of Agricultural 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. Lock-
hart served as Associate Dean of the Graduate School
and Professor of Economics. She began a dual ap-
pointment 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 lead-
ing 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
1986-87 the total number of graduate degrees
awarded was 1,543 in more than 100 fields. The pro-
portion of Ph.D. degrees shows a steady increase. In
1950, 18 Ph.D.s were awarded. In 1985-86, the total
was 276, and in 1986-87, 303 Ph.D.s were awarded.

THE GRADUATE SCHOOL
ORGANIZATION AND HISTORY
The Graduate School consists of the dean, two asso-
ciate deans, the Graduate Council, and the graduate
faculty. General policies and standards of the Gradu-
ate 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 mini-
mum general standards of graduate work in the Uni-
versity and for the coordination of the graduate
programs of the various colleges and divisions of the
University. The responsibility for the detailed opera-
tions of graduate programs is vested in the individual
colleges, schools, divisions, and departments. In
most of the colleges an assistant dean or other official
is directly responsible for graduate study in that col-
lege.
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 petitions 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 disserta-
tions. No faculty member may perform any of these
functions without having been appointed to the grad-
uate 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 committee 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 be-
came the first Dean of the Graduate School. He was
succeeded upon his retirement in 1938 byT. M. Simp-
son, 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 Grad-
uate School, and Research Professor. Upon becom-
ing 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 University of Texas, where he had
served as Chairman of the Department of Physics. In
1971, Dr. Hanson was appointed Vice President for
Academic Affairs. Alexander G. Smith of the Depart-
ment 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 Ex-
ecutive 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 Chem-
istry. 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.
Dr. Stehli came to Florida from Case Western Re-
serve University where he had served as Samuel St.
John Professor of Geology, Chairman of the Depart-
ment of Geology, and Dean of Science and Engineer-
ing. In September 1982, Dr. Stehli became Dean of
the College of Geosciences at the University of
Oklahoma. Donald R. Price, Associate Dean for Re-
search and Professor of Agricultural 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. Lock-
hart served as Associate Dean of the Graduate School
and Professor of Economics. She began a dual ap-
pointment 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 lead-
ing 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
1986-87 the total number of graduate degrees
awarded was 1,543 in more than 100 fields. The pro-
portion of Ph.D. degrees shows a steady increase. In
1950, 18 Ph.D.s were awarded. In 1985-86, the total
was 276, and in 1986-87, 303 Ph.D.s were awarded.

ADMISSION TO THE
GRADUATE SCHOOL
Application for Admission.-Admission forms and
information concerning admission procedures may
be obtained from the Registrar and Admissions Of-
fice, 135 Tigert Hall. Prospective students are urged to
apply for admission as early as possible. For some
departments deadlines for receipt of admission ap-
plications may be earlier than those stated in the
current University Calendar; prospective students
should check with the appropriate department. Ap-
plications which meet minimum standards are re-
ferred to the graduate selection committees of the
various colleges and departments for approval or dis-
approval.
To be admitted to graduate study in a given depart-
ment, the prospective student must satisfy the
requirements 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, Uni-
versity 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
Examination. 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 criteria including
letters of recommendation are reviewed by the de-
partment, recommended by the department, and ap-
proved by the Dean of the Graduate School.
6 / GENERAL INFORMATION
Direct admission to the Graduate School is depen-
dent upon the presentation of a baccalaureate degree
from an accredited college or university. No applica-
tion 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 institu-
tion in which the work is done. Official supplemen-
tary transcripts are required as soon as they are
available for any work completed after application 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 admit-
ting students for a given academic year, up to 10%
may be admitted as exceptions. Students admitted as
exceptions under the 10% waiver rule must present
both an upper-division grade point average and Grad-
uate Record Examination Aptitude Test Score with
their applications and meet other criteria required by
the University, including excellent letters of recom-
mendation from colleagues, satisfactory perform-
ance in a specified number of graduate courses taken
as postbaccalaureate students, and/or practical ex-
perience in the discipline for a specified period of
time.
The University encourages applications from qual-
ified 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 admis-
sion 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
encourage the applicant to submit scores on one or
more advanced subject tests of the Graduate Record
Examination. The scores on all tests taken will be
considered in regard to admission.
Graduate Study in Business Administration.-Stu-
dents applying for admission to the Graduate School
for study in the College of Business Administration
may substitute satisfactory scores on the Graduate
Management Admission Test (GMAT) for the Gradu-
ate Record Examination. Students applying for admis-
sion to the Master of Business Administration (MBA)
program must submit satisfactory scores on the
GMAT. Applicants should contact the Educational
Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey, for additional
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 Grad-
uate School are required to submit satisfactory scores
on the GRE Aptitude Test and a score of at least 550 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 TOE-
FL scores but must submit satisfactory scores on the
Aptitude Test of the Graduate Record Examination
before their applications for admission can be con-
sidered.
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 postpone-
ment 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 for
the Master of Business Administration program must
submit satisfactory scores from the Graduate Man-
agement 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 ade-
quate 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 examination 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 must submit satisfactory scores on the Test of
Spoken English (TSE) or the Speak Test to be eligible
for teaching assistantships.
Applicants should write to the Educational Testing
Service, 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 admis-
sion 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 as-
sistance, help in securing auxiliary learning aids, and
assistance in general University activities. Handi-
capped students are encouraged to contact this of-
fice.
CONDITIONAL ADMISSION
Students who are not eligible for direct admission
may be granted conditional admission to the Gradu-
ate School. Students may be granted conditional ad-
GENERAL REGULATIONS / 7
mission to defer final admission decisions until
requisite examination scores or final grade records
are available. Students may also be granted condi-
tional 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 borderline of acceptability or when
specific prerequisite courses are required.
Students granted conditional admission should be
notified 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 classified as postbaccalaureate students (6-).
Postbaccalaureate enrollment is offered for the fol-
lowing reasons: (1) to validate undergraduate records
from nonaccredited and unevaluated colleges; (2) to
provide a means for students not seeking a graduate
degreeto 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 accommodate 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 subse-
quently 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 teachercer-
tification must provide the college with a clear state-
ment of certification goals as a part of the require-
ments 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 in tenured or tenure-
accruing lines, as designated by the Florida Admin-
istrative 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 Laborato-
ry School.
Under certain restrictions established by the Grad-
uate Council, persons holding nontenure- or non-
permanent-status-accruing titles may pursue non-
thesis master's degrees at the University of Florida.
Any other exceptions to this policy must be approved
by the Graduate Council. Such exceptions, if given,
are extremely rare and will only be approved when it
is determined to be in the best interest of the Univer-
sity.
STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM
PROGRAMS
Traveling Scholar Program.-This program makes
the entire State University System graduate curricu-
lum available to University of Florida graduate stu-
dents. A course or research activity not offered on
this campus, taken under the auspices of the Travel-
ing Scholar Program at another SUS university, will
count as graduate credit at the University of Florida if
approved by the graduate coordinator or the super-
visory 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 graduate faculty mem-
bers are available to students at the University of
Florida.
GENERAL REGULATIONS
It is the responsibility of the graduate student to be-
come informed and to observe all regulations and
procedures required by the program the student is pur-
suing. The student must be familiar with those sec-
tions of the Graduate Catalog that outline general
regulations and requirements, specific degree pro-
gram requirements, and the offerings and require-
ments of the major department. Ignorance of a rule
does not constitute a basis for waiving that rule. Any
exceptions to the policies stated in the Graduate Cat-
alog 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 require-
ments, deficiencies if any, and special regulations of
the department. 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
8 / GENERAL INFORMATION
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 ma-
jor; dates of attendance; degrees) earned; awards
received; local and permanent address, and tele-
phone 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 ac-
curacy of these records. Parents of dependent stu-
dents, as defined by the Internal Revenue Service,
have these same rights. A photo I.D. or other equiv-
alent 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 Cata-
log.
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 stu-
dents, including trainees and fellows, is 12 credits.
The minimum registration is reduced for those stu-
dents who are graduate assistants or are otherwise
employed. Guidelines for minimum registration for
students on appointment are provided in the Gradu-
ate Student Handbook as well as the Graduate Coor-
dinator's Manual.
Full-time students, not on appointment, must regi-
ster for a minimum of 12 credits. Part-time status may
be approved by the graduate coordinator for stu-
dents 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 as-
sistantship is three credits during Fall and Spring Se-
mesters and two for Summer.
COURSES AND CREDITS
Undergraduate courses (1000-2999) may not be
used as any part of the graduate degree require-
ments, including the requirement for a period of con-
centrated 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 un-
der Undergraduate Registration in Graduate
Courses. Courses numbered 7000 and above are de-
signed 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 Flor-
ida.
A complete list of approved graduate courses ap-
pears 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 con-
sulted concerning available courses.
Generally speaking graduate courses may not be
repeated for credit. However, there is no limit on
courses numbered 6971, 7979, and 7980. Other
courses that may be repeated for credit are desig-
nated by max: immediately following the semester
credit designation.
Correspondence Work.-No courses taken by corre-
spondence 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 Uni-
versity of Florida for graduate credit.
Cooperative Education Program.-At the University
of Florida, the Cooperative Education Program is of-
fered primarily for undergraduate students. How-
ever, 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 graduate 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 usedin 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 grad-
uate degree.
Deferred Grade H.-The grade of H is not a sub-
stitute for a grade of S, U, or I. Courses for which H
grades are appropriate must be so noted in their
catalog descriptions, and must be approved by the
Graduate Curriculum Committee and the Graduate
School. This grade may be used only in special situa-
tions where the expected unit of work may be de-
GENERAL REGULATIONS / 9
veloped over a period of time greater than a single
term.
Incomplete Grades.-Grades of I (incomplete) re-
ceived during the preceding semester should be re-
moved as soon as possible. Grades of I carry no
quality points and lower the overall grade-point aver-
age.
All grades of H and I must be removed prior to the
award of a graduate degree.

GRADUATE COURSES
With the permission of the instructor and the col-
lege 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 gradu-
ate degree at the University of Florida provided credit
for the course has not been used for an undergradu-
ate degree and provided the transfer is approved by
the department and 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 in-
volved and the Dean of the Graduate School. Any
student interested in pursuing concurrent degrees
should discuss the proposed studywith 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 pur-
sue two master's programs, no more than six hours of
course work from one degree program may be ap-
plied toward meeting the requirements for the sec-
ond master's degree. These six hours must be by
petition to the Dean of the Graduate School.
INFORMATION FOR VETERANS
The University of Florida is approved for the educa-
tion 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 (Chil-
dren of Deceased or Disabled Veterans).
Students who may be eligible for educational ben-
efits under any Veterans Administration program are
urged to contact the Veterans Affairs Office, 124 Ti-
gert 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 deter-
mined by the Veterans Administration, and the Uni-
versity certifies according'to these rules and reg-
ulations.
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 regis-
tration in the University or in a graduate program
should scholastic performance or progress toward
completion of the planned program become un-
satisfactory 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 Univer-
sity 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 depart-
ment for specific information regarding any require-
ment of a foreign language.
If a department requires that a student meet the
foreign language requirement by satisfactory per-
formance 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 examination times and dates
are listed in the University Calendar. Educational
Testing Service (ETS) no longer administers this ex-
amination and does not accept application 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 re-
sponsible 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 commit-
tee 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 Educa-
tional Centers or on the campuses of the universities
in the State University System that are approved for
cooperative graduate degree programs. These excep-
10 / GENERAL INFORMATION
tions must be justified by individual petitions to the
Dean of the Graduate School.
PREPARATION FOR FINAL SEMESTER
It is the student's responsibility to ascertain that all
requirements have been met and that every deadline is
observed. Deadline dates are set forth in the Univer-
sity Calendar and by the college, school, or depart-
ment. Regular issues of Deadline Dates are available
each semester.
When the dissertation or thesis is ready to be put in
final form, the student should obtain the Guide for
Preparing Dissertations and Theses from the Gradu-
ate School Editorial Office and should request a rec-
ords check in the Graduate Records Office to make
certain that all requirements for graduation have
been fulfilled.
During the term in which the final examination is
given and during the term the degree is received, a
student must be registered for at least three hours
that count toward his/her graduate degree. Thesis
students must be registered for three hours of 6971
and doctoral students for three hours of 7980. Mini-
mum registration for students taking their final exam-
inations or graduating during the summer terms is
two hours of appropriate credit as outlined above.
Students must also apply for the degree at the begin-
ning of the final term.
AWARDING OF DEGREES
The Graduate School will authorize a candidate to
be awarded the degree appropriate to the course of
study under the following conditions (the details of

engineering from an ABET-accredited curriculum or
has taken sufficient articulation course work to meet
the minimum requirements specified by ABET. Stu-
dents who do not meet these requirements may be-
come candidates for the Master of Science degree,
provided they meet departmental requirements for
admission. The general intent in making this distinc-
tion is to encourage those who are professionally
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 profes-
sional practice instruction at the graduate level, six
months' full-time civil engineering related experi-
ence or its equivalent obtained after the student has
achieved junior status, and completion of the Engi-
neering 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 re-
quired for the master's degree with thesis is 30 credits
which may include up to six credits of the research
course numbered 6971 in all departments. At least 12
credits, excluding 6971, must be in the student's ma-
jor field of study. A minimum of 32 credits of course
work is required, with at least 16 credits in the stu-
dent's major field for both of the above degrees with-
out thesis. At least 50% of the required 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 ad-
dition, a multidisciplinary minor in departments
other than the major may be authorized by the super-
visory committee or program adviser. Courses num-
bered 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 pro-
gram 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 examina-
tion, administered 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 admin-
istered 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. At least one member of
the examining committee must be either the stu-
dent's program adviser or a member of the supervi-
sory committee. If a minor is taken, another member
selected from the Graduate Studies Faculty must be
chosen from outside the major department to repre-
sent the student's minor.
The requirement for an on-campus comprehensive
written examination also applies to the nonthesis op-
tion of the Master of Science degree for students in
the College of Engineering.
Examination requirements for the Master of Sci-
ence degree are covered in the section Master of Arts
and Master of Science.
A Certificate Program in Manufacturing Systems Engi-
neering has been established as an option for the
Master of Engineering degree of five departments:
Computer and Information Sciences, Electrical Engi-
neering, Industrial and Systems Engineering, Mate-
rials Science and Engineering, and Mechanical En-
gineering. Qualification for the certificate requires
specified courses in manufacturing, 18 credits or
more of course work selected from an approved man-
ufacturing systems engineering core, and satisfactory
completion of departmental Master of Engineering
requirements. In most cases, the manufacturing
courses will partially satisfy required and elective
course requirements stipulated by the home depart-
ment. 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 se-
lected from graduate level courses offered in the De-
partment of Exercise and Sport Sciences. Of the
remaining 50%, at least three courses must be taken
outside the Department of Exercise and Sport Sci-
ences. 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 fac-
ulty 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
comprehensive written and oral examination that
consists of questions concerning the student's spe-
cial area of concentration as well as concomitant
areas of study in 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 (Indi-
16 / GENERAL INFORMATION
vidual 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
description 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, pro-
gram notes, etc.
3. Project must conform to departmental formats.
To insure future accessibility and for record keeping
purposes, a copy of the results must be deposited in a
designated library.
Students must fulfill the Graduate School admis-
sion requirements. In cases where the undergradu-
ate 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 re-
quired to remove the deficiencies by successful com-
pletion 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 require-
ments. If deficiencies must be removed, the resi-
dency could be longer.
The College reserves the right to retain student
work for purposes of record, exhibition, or instruc-
tion.

REQUIREMENTS FOR
THE DEGREE OF
ENGINEER
For those engineers who need additional technical
depth and diversification in their education beyond
the master's degree, the College of Engineering offers
the degree of Engineer.
This degree requires a minimum of 30 credit hours
of graduate work beyond the master's degree. It is not
to be considered as a partial requirement toward the
Ph.D. degree. The student's objective after the mas-
ter's degree should be the Ph.D. or the Engineer de-
gree.
Admission to the Program.-To be admitted to the
program, students must have completed a master's
degree in engineering at an accredited institution
approved by the Graduate School, University of Flor-
ida, and apply for admission to the Graduate School
of the University of Florida. The master's degree is
regarded as the foundation for the degree of Engi-
neer.
The master's degree must be based on the candi-
date having a bachelor's degree in engineering from
an ABET-accredited curriculum or having taken suffi-
cient articulation course work to meet the minimum
requirements specified by ABET.
Course and Residence Requirements.-A total regis-
tration in an approved program of at least 30 semester
credit hours beyond the master's degree is required.
This minimum requirement must be earned through
the University of Florida. The last 30 semester credit
hours must be completed within five calendar years.
Supervisory Committee.-Each student admitted to
the program will be advised by a supervisory commit-
tee consisting of at least three members of the gradu-
ate faculty. Two members are selected from the major
department and at least one from a supporting de-
partment. In addition, every effort should be made to
have a representative from industry as an external
adviser for the student's program.
This 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 or the completion of 24
semester hours.
This committee will inform the student of all reg-
ulations pertaining to the degree program. The com-
mittee is nominated by the department chairperson,
approved by the Dean of the College of Engineering,
and appointed by the Dean of the Graduate School.
The Dean of the Graduate School is an ex-officio
member of all supervisory committees'and should be
notified in writing in advance of all committee meet-
ings. If a thesis or report is a requirement in the plan
of study, the committee will approve the proposed
thesis or report and the plans for carrying it out. The
thesis must be submitted to the Graduate School.
The committee will also conduct the final examina-
tion on campus when the plan of study is completed.
Plan of Study.-Each plan of study is developed on
an individual basis for each student. Thus, there are
no specific requirements for the major or minor;
each student is considered as a separate case. If the
plan of study includes a thesis, the student may regis-
ter for from 6 to 12 semester credit hours of thesis
research in a course numbered 6971.
Thesis.-The thesis should represent performance
at a level above that ordinarily associated with the
master's degree. It should clearly be an original con-
tribution; this may take the form of scientific re-
search, a design project, or an industrial project
approved by the supervisory committee. Work on the
thesis may be conducted in an industrial or govern-
mental laboratory under conditions stipulated by the
supervisory committee.
Final Examination.-After the student has com-
pleted all work on the plan of study, the supervisory
committee conducts a final comprehensive oral and/
orwritten examination, which also involves a defense
of the thesis if one is included in the program. This
examination must be taken on campus with all par-
ticipants present.

is open only to persons who have met the following
requirements:
1. Achieved at least the minimum upper-division
undergraduate grade average and verbal-quantitative
total score on the Aptitude Test of the Graduate Rec-
ord Examination necessary for admission to the Grad-
uate School, University of Florida.
2. Provided evidence of good scholarship for pre-
vious graduate work (a 3.5 grade-point average or
above, as computed by.the University of Florida, will
be considered satisfactory).
3. Successfully completed 36 credits of profes-
sional course work in education. Applicants for ad-
mission to advanced degree programs in the College
of Education who meet all the requirements except
for successfully completing 36 credits of professional
education courses may be given provisional admis-
sion and full admission when they have completed
the required 36 credits.
4. Presented a record of successful professional ex-
perience, the appropriateness of which will be deter-
mined by the instructional department passing on
the applicant's qualifications for admission. In some
instances, departments may admit students with the
understanding that further experience may be re-
quired before the student will be recommended for
the degree.
The judgment about admission of an individual is
made by the major department, the College of Educa-
tion, 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 concentration within the Departments of
Counselor Education, Educational Leadership, Foun-
dations 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 Uni-
versity of Florida. All work for the degree must be
completed within 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
beyortd the bachelor's degree or a minimum of 36
credits beyond the master's degree. All credits ac-
cepted for the program must contribute to the unity
and the stated objective of the total program. Stu-
dents are tested (in no case earlier than six months
prior to receipt of degree) in both a written and an
oral examination, given on campus by a committee
selected by the department chairperson. A thesis is
not required; however, each program will include.
continuing attention to a research component rele-
vant to the professional role for which the student is
preparing.
Students who enter the program with an appropri-
ate master's degree from another accredited institu-
tion must complete a minimum of 36 credits of post-
master's study to satisfy the following requirements.
1. Twenty-one credits in graduate level courses.
2. At least 12 credits in graduate level professional
education courses.
3. Registration on the Gainesville campus of the
University of Florida for at least six credits in a single
semester.
Twelve credits for appropriate courses offered off-
campus by the University of Florida may be trans-
ferred to the program. Six credits may be transferred
from another institution of the State University Sys-
tem or from any institution offering a doctoral de-
gree; however, credit transferred from another
institution reduces proportionately the credit trans-
ferred from University of Florida off-campus courses.
Students who enter the program with a bachelor's
degree only must, during the 72-credit program, sat-
isfy these requirements in addition to the require-
ments of the Master of Education degree or its equiv-
alent.
DOCTOR OF EDUCATION
A doctoral candidate is expected to achieve under-
standing of the broad field of education and com-
petence in an area of specialization. Programs are
available in the various areas of concentration within
the Departments of Counselor Education, Educa-
tional Leadership, Foundations of Education, Instruc-
tion and Curriculum, and Special Education..
Admission to a program of work leading to the
degree of Doctor of Education requires admission to
the Graduate 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 Educa-
tion degree, must be taken at an institution offering
the doctoral degree and must be approved for gradu-
20 / GENERAL INFORMATION
ate credit by the Graduate School of the University of
Florida.
Minors.-Minor work or work in cognate fields is
required. Minor work may be completed in any de-
partment, other than the major department, ap-
proved 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 matteror 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 included, there shall be no fewer than five
credits in each field. If three or more fields are in-
cluded, the five credit requirement for each field
does not apply. This program must have the approval
of the student's supervisory committee. The College
of Education faculty will expect the candidate to be
prepared to answer questions, at the time of the oral'
examination, in any of the areas chosen.
Admission to Candidacy.-Admission to candidacy
for the degree of Doctor of Education requires suc-
cessful completion of the qualifying examinations
and approval of a dissertation topic. Recommenda-
tion to the Graduate School for admission to can-
didacy is based on the action of the supervisory
committee. Application for admission to candidacy
should be made as soon as the qualifying examina-
tion has been passed and a dissertation topic has
been approved by the student's supervisory commit-
tee.
Qualifying Examination.-The applicant is recom-
mended for the qualifying examination by the super-
visory committee after completion of sufficient
course work.
The examination, administered on campus by the
student's major department, consists of (1) a general
section, (2) a field of specialization section, (3) exam-
ination in the minor or minors, where involved, and
(4) an oral examination conducted by the applicant's
supervisory committee.
At least five faculty must be present for the oral
portion of the examination; however, only members
of the supervisory committee are required to sign the
Admission to Candidacy form.
If the student fails the qualifying examination, a re-
examination will not be given unless recommended
for special reasons by the supervisory committee and
approved by the Graduate School. At least one se-
mester of additional preparation is considered essen-
tial before re-examination.
Research Preparation Requirement.-EDF 7486
(Methods 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 programs. Additional require-
ments vary with the department and with the stu-
dent'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 head-
ing Requirements for the Ph.D. These statements are
applicable to both degrees.
REQUIREMENTS FOR
THE PH.D.
Doctoral study consists of the independent mas-
tery of a field of knowledge and the successful pursuit
of research. Consequently, doctoral programs are
more flexible and varied than those leading to other
graduate degrees. The Graduate Council does not
specify what courses will be required for the Ph.D.
degree. The general requirement is that the program
should be unified in relation to a clear objective, that
it should have the considered approval of the stu-
dent'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 respon-
sibility for recommending individual courses of study
for each doctoral 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 specifi-
cally approved for the offering of doctoral courses
and the supervision of dissertations. These depart-
ments are listed under Graduate Programs.
Minor.-With the approval of the supervisory com-
mittee, the student may choose one or more minor
fields. Minor work may be completed in any depart-
ment, 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. Competence in the minor area may be
demonstrated through a written examination con-
ducted by the minor department or through the oral
qualifying examination.
Course work in the minorat 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 bythe Graduate School. This
procedure is not required for a departmental minor.
SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE
Supervisory committees are nominated by the de-
partment chairperson, approved by the dean of the
college concerned, and appointed by the Dean of the
PH.D. DEGREE / 21
Graduate School. The committee should be ap-
pointed as soon as possible after the student has
egun 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 committees and
should be notified in writing well in advance of all
examinations conducted by such committees.
Duties and Responsibilities.-Duties of the supervi-
sory committee follow:
1. To inform the student of all regulations govern-
ing the degree sought. It should be noted, however,
that this does not absolve the student from the respon-
sibility of informing himself concerning these regula-
tions. (See Student Responsibility.)
2. To meet immediately after appointment to re-
view the qualifications of the student and to discuss
and approve a program of study.
3. To meet to discuss and approve the proposed
dissertation 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 department, 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 examina-
tion. 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, prog-
ress, and expected results and to make suggestions
for completion.
6. To meet on campus when the dissertation is
completed and conduct the final oral examination to
assure that the dissertation is a piece of original re-
search and a contribution to knowledge. No fewer
than five faculty members shall be present with the
candidate for this examination, but only the mem-
bers of the official supervisory committee may sign
the dissertation. The dissertation must be approved
unanimously by the official supervisory committee.
Membership.-The supervisory committee for a
candidate for the doctoral degree shall consist of no
fewer than three members selected from the gradu-
ate faculty. At least two members will be from the
department recommending the degree, and at least
one member will be drawn from a different educa-
tional discipline. The chairperson and at least one
additional member of the committee will be mem-
bers of the Doctoral Research Faculty of the Univer-
sity 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 concerned, be represented on the
supervisory committee.
When a minor is not designated, the supervisory
committee will include at least one member of the
graduate faculty from outside the discipline of the
major. The Graduate Council desires each supervi-
sory committee to function as a university commit-
tee, as contrasted with a departmental committee, in
order to bring university-wide standards to bear upon
the various doctoral degrees.
A cochairperson may be appointed to serve during
a planned absence of the chairperson; in this case
both the chairperson and the cochairp erson 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
department with approval of the college. The student
should check with the graduate coordinator of the
appropriate department for specific information. The
foreign language 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 commit-
tee, 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 with-
in 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 concen-
trated study.
Candidates in the College of Agriculture may do
their research at certain branch stations of the Univer-
sity 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
committee or the major and minor departments, is
both written and oral and covers the major and minor
subjects. At least five faculty members must be pres-
ent with the student at the oral portion. The supervi-
sory 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
Graduate School must be notified. A re-examination
may be requested, but it must be recommended by
the supervisory committee and approved by the
Graduate School. At least one semester of additional
preparation is considered essential before re-exam-
ination.
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 qualify-
ing examination is passed is counted, provided that
the examination occurs before the midpoint of the
term.
22 / GENERAL INFORMATION
ADMISSION TO CANDIDACY
A graduate student does not become a candidate
for the Ph.D. degree until granted formal admission
to candidacy. Such admission requires the approval
of the student's supervisory committee, the depart-
ment chairperson, 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 opin-
ion of the supervisory committee concerning overall
fitness for candidacy, (3) an approved dissertation
topic, and (4) a qualifying examination 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

content to the supervisory committee and to the
Graduate School. Dissertations must be written in
English. The Dean of the Graduate School may ap-
prove exceptions to this rule on an individual basis
for students majoring in Romance languages and lit-
eratures.
Since all doctoral dissertations will be published by
microfilm, it is necessary that the work be of publish-
able quality and that it be in a form suitable for pub-
lication.
The original copy of the dissertation must be pre-
sented 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, to-
gether with the signed Final Examination Report,
should be returned to the Graduate School. The orig-
inal copy of the dissertation is sent by the Graduate
School to the Library for microfilming and handbind-
ing. A second copy, reproduced on required thesis
paper, should be given to the office of the college
dean.for subsequent delivery to the Library for hard-
binding. The supervisory chairperson and the candi-
date will each need a copy and, if required, another
should also be provided for the departmental library.
Publication of Dissertation.-AII candidates for the
Ph.D. and Ed.D.'degrees are required to pay the sum
of $40 to Student Financial Services, the Hub, for

CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS-
FLORIDA OR NON-FLORIDA
6C-7.005 Florida Student Definitions.
(1) For the purpose of assessing registration and
tuition fees, a student shall be classified as a resident
or a nonresident. A "resident for tuition purposes" is
a person who qualifies for the in-state tuition rate; a
"nonresident for tuition purposes" is a person who
does not qualify for the in-state tuition rate.
S (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
EXPENSES / 23
legal residence in Florida and shall have maintained
legal residence in Florida for at least twelve (12)
months immediately prior to his or her qualifica-
tion. 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 maintain-.
ing a bona fide domicile in accordance with the
provisions of Section 240.1201(2)(b), Florida Stat-
utes.
(b) With respect to a dependent child, the legal
residence of such individual's parent or parents
shall be prima facie evidence of the individual's
legal residence in accordance with the provisions
of Section 240.1201(4), Florida Statutes. Prima facie
evidence may be reinforced or rebutted by evi-
dence of residency, age, and the general circum-
stances of the individual in accordance with the
provisions of Rule 6C-7.005(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, ac-
cede 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-
rolled in an institution of higher education in this
state, loses resident tuition status because the per-
son, or, if a dependent child, the parent or parents,
establish domicile or legal residence elsewhere,
shall continue to enjoy the in-state tuition rate for a
statutory grace period. This grace period shall be
measured in accordance with the provisions of Sec-
tion 240.1201(8), Florida Statutes.
(g) The legal residence of a dependent child
whose parents are divorced, separated, or other-
wise living apart shall be deemed to be Florida if
either parent is a legal resident of Florida, re-
gardless of which parent is entitled to claim, and
does in fact claim, the minor as a dependent pur-
suant to federal individual income tax provisions.
(h) Any person who ceases to be enrolled at or
graduates 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 tui-
tion purposes in accordance with the provisions of
Section 240.1201(10), Florida Statutes.
(i) A member of the Armed Forces on active duty
stationed in Florida, and the spouse and depen-
dents of such member, shall be classified as resi-
dents for tuition purposes.
(j) Full-time instructional and administrative per-
sonnel employed by state public schools, com-
munity colleges, and institutions of higher edu-
cation, 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, shall not be eligible to
receive the in-state tuition rate, until the individual
has provided satisfactory evidence as to his or her
legal residence and domicile to appropriate univer-
sity officials. In determining residency, the university
shall require 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 main-
tained 12 months residence immediately prior to
qualification. To determine if the student is a depen-
dent child, the university shall require evidence such
as copies of the aforementioned documents. In addi-
tion, the university may require a notarized copy of
the parent's IRS return. If a nonresident wishes to
qualify for resident tuition status in accordance with
Section (1)(d) above, the applicant must present evi-
dence of the spouse's legal residence with certified
copies of the aforementioned documents. "Resident
student" classification shall also be construed to in-
clude 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 for which resident
student status is sought, or who have had their resi-
dent alien status approved by the United States Immi-
gration and Naturalization Service, or who hold an
Immigration and Naturalization Form 1-151, 1-551 or a
notice of an approved adjustment of status applica-
tion, or Cuban Nationals or Vietnamese Refugees or
other refugees or asylees so designated by the United
States Immigration and Naturalization Service who
are considered as Resident Aliens, or other legal ali-
ens, provided such students meet the residency
requirements stated above and comply with subsec-
tion (4) below. The burden of establishing facts which
justify classification of a student as a resident and
domiciliary entitled to "resident for tuition pur-
poses" 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 when-
ever the person is absent the person has the inten-
tion of returning.
(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.
24 / GENERAL INFORMATION
(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" un-
der 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- 7.005(1),(2) if
requested by the registering authority.
(5) A "nonresident" or, if a dependent child, the
individual's parent, after maintaining a legal resi-
dence and being a bona fide domiciliary of Florida for
twelve (12) months, immediately prior to enrollment
and qualification as a resident, rather than for the
purpose of maintaining a mere temporary residence
or abode incident to enrollment in an institution of
higher education, may apply for and be granted clas-
sification as a "resident for tuition purposes"; pro-
vided, 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 re-
classification. An application for reclassification as a
"resident for tuition purposes" shall comply with
revisions of subsection (4) above. An applicant who
as been classified as a nonresidentt for tuition pur-
poses" at time of original enrollment shall furnish
evidence as stated in 6C-7.005(1) to the satisfaction of
the registering authority that the applicant has main-
tained residency in the state for the twelve months
immediately prior to qualification required to estab-
lish residence for tuition purposes. In the absence of
such evidence, the applicant shall not be reclassified
as a "resident for tuition purposes." It is recom-
mended 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 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 imposed 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 par-
ticipating in Advance Registration. Payment of fees is
an integral part of the registration process. Registra-
tion (including payment of fees) must be completed
on or before the proper due date. Student Financial
Services, the Hub, must be provided a properly ex-
ecuted authorization for payment in cases where fees
are to be paid by a previously approved loan, schol-
arship, 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. Uni-
versity personnel will not be held accountable for
proper assessment or mathematical accuracy of cal-
culations.
The fee structure for the academic year 1987-88 is
based upon the number of credit hours per course, as
follows:
Non-Florida
Course Level Florida Resident Resident
5000-9999* $64.58* $189.53**
*Includes Thesis and dissertation courses.
**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

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 regis-
tered in off-campus programs may request a waiver of
this fee in combination with the athletic fee and the

UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES
The University of Florida Libraries form the largest
information resource system in the state of Florida,
and materials are housed in several locations which
support broad disciplinary areas.
Generally, most of the agricultural, science, and
technology holdings will be found in the Central Sci-
ence Library and most humanities and social science
materials, including business and journalism, will be
found in Libraries East and West. However, several
separate collections have been organized which sup-
port particular subject or area studies programs at
both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Hold-
ings for visual arts, architecture, and building con-
struction materials will be found in the Architecture
and Fine Arts Library (201 Fine Arts Building A), most
education materials in the Education Library (1500
Norman Hall), most Latin America materials in the
Latin American Collection (Fourth Floor, Library East),
and most music materials in the Music Library (231
Music Building).
Two major research libraries, the Health Science
Center Library (JHMHC Communicore) and the Legal
Information Center (217 Holland Law Center), have
been formed primarily to support the graduate and
professional programs in the J. Hillis Miller Health
Center and the College of Law.
The Libraries hold over 250,000,000 cataloged vol-
umes, more than 2,300,000 units of microform, main-
tain more than 29,000 current serials, and roughly
20,000 machine readable data files.
The Libraries are a regional depository for U.S.
Federal documents (Documents-254 Library West);
uncataloged federal documents number over
600,000. There are also large collections of foreign,
international, state, and local documents. Most ma-
jor U.S. daily newspapers, as well as the large collec-
tion of Florida newspapers, are available in Library
East and West.
The Map Library (first level, Central Science Li-
brary) is an extensive repository of maps, atlases,
aerial photographs, and remote sensing imagery with
particular collection strengths for the southeastern
United States, Florida, Latin America, and Africa
south of the Sahara.
A number of nationally significant research re-
sources, primarily in support of graduate programs,
have been collected, including the Isser and Rae Price
Library of Judaica (18 Library East), the largest collec-
tion of its kind in the Southeast; the Baldwin Library
SPECIAL FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS / 33
(second floor, Library East), among the world's great-
est collections of literature for children; and the Park-
man D. Howe Collection of American Literature (Rare
Books and Manuscripts Collection, 531 Library West).
The P. K. Yonge Library of Florida History is the state's
preeminent Floridiana collection (404 Library West).
Its holdings of Spanish colonial documents con-
cerning the southeastern United States are the
largest of its kind in North America. A rich collection
of serials, ephemera, and reference materials dealing
with the performing arts has been gathered into the
Belknap Collection (512 Library West), and the Uni-
versity Archives (450 Library East) maintain the corpo-
rate memory of the University's academic and admin-
istrative programs.
More than 90 percent of the cataloged collection
can be located through the Libraries' online catalog
which is called LUIS (Library Users Information Serv-
ice). Terminals are available in every library location,
and remote access to the online catalog is available
through every terminal capable of linking to the Uni-
versity's mainframe. Library holdings, mainly older or
special items added to the collections before 1975,
which are not available on LUIS can be located
through the Libraries Union Card Catalog, which is
housed in Library West, first floor.
The Libraries are linked to OCLC and arefull mem-
ber-owners in the Research Libraries Group (RLG),
making the RLIN system available in all library loca-
tions.
Current information regarding the hours at Library
East and West may be obtained by telephoning 392-
0341 and for the Central Science Library by calling
335-8500. Information about circulation policy and
library borrower cards may be obtained at any circula-
tion desk.
MAJOR ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTATION CENTER
(MAIC)
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 cam-
puswide usage, helping 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 scientists to super-
vise the solution of individual problems. Center per-
sonnel 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 mi-
croscopy, transmission electron microscopy, vacuum
technology, surface science, and optical microscopy.
These are open both for graduate credit and to those
outside the university community. (The Chemistry
Department, IFAS, and the Engineering and Indus-
trial Experiment Station also regularly offer several
short courses of a complementary nature.) Some in-
dividually supervised training directed by Center per-
sonnel is available to graduate students.
The overall aim of the MAIC is thus to make possi-
ble the solution of any scientific or technological
problem that requires state-of-the-art analytical in-
strumentation and to make these capabilities accessi-
ble 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 218 Materials Science and Engi-
neering Building where further information may be
obtained upon request.
MONOGRAPH SERIES
The Graduate School sponsors two monograph se-
ries devoted to the publication of research primarily
by present and former members of the scholarly com-
munity of the University. The Social Sciences Mono-
graphs are published each year with subjects drawn
from anthropology, economics, history, political sci-
ence, sociology, education, geography, law, and psy-
chology. The Humanities Monographs are published
each year with subjects 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 Univer-
sity of Florida. Through its affiliation with the Univer-
sity, 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 com-
pleted 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 Sunday. The Museum is closed on Christmas
Day. There is no admission charge.
The Museum operates as a center of research in
anthropology and natural history. Its accessory func-
tions as an educational arm of the University are car-
ried forward through interpretive displays and
scientific publications. Under the administrative con-
trol 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 concerned with the study of
historic and prehistoric people and their cultures;
Interpretation, staffed by specialists in the interpreta-
tion of knowledge through museum exhibit tech-
niques and education programs. Members of the
scientific and educational staff of the Museum hold
dual appointments in appropriate teaching depart-
ments. Through these appointments, they participate
in both undergraduate and graduate teaching pro-
grams.
The Allyn Museum of Entomology, Sarasota, is part
34 / GENERAL INFORMATION
of the Department of Natural Sciences of the Florida
State Museum. The combined Sarasota and Gaines-
ville holdings in Lepidoptera rank the Allyn Museum
of Entomology as the largest in the western hemi-
sphere and the premier Lepidoptera research center
in the world. The Allyn Museum publishes the Bul-
letin of the Allyn Museum of Etomology and spon-
sors the Karl Jordan Medal. The Allyn Collection
serves as a major source for taxonomic and bio-
geographic research by a number of Florida State
Museum and Department of Zoology faculty and stu-
dents, as well as a great many visiting entomologists
from around the world.
The Swisher Memorial Tract and the Ordway Pre-
serve 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
administered by the School of Forest Resources and
Conservation 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. The-
sis 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 laboratory for the study and iden-
tification of natural plant products.
The research collections are under the care of cura-
tors who encourage the scientific study of the Mu-
seum's holdings. Materials are constantly being
added to the collections both through gifts from
friends and as a result of research activities of the
Museum staff. The archaeological and ethnological.
collections are noteworthy, particularly in the aborig-
inal 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 consist-
ing of original recordings of animal sounds. Oppor-
tunities are provided for students, staff, and visiting
scientists to use the collections. Research and field
work are presently sponsored in the archaeological,
paleontological, and zoological fields. Students in-
terested in these specialties should make application
to the appropriate teaching department. Graduate
assistantships 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 Univer-
sity System's scholarly publishing facility, University
Presses of Florida. The goals of the systemwide pub-
lishing program 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 fac-
ulty members but it may also publish meritorious
works originating elsewhere and may republish
out-of-print works.
Each university's faculty publishing committee is
independently 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 lo-
cally determined publishing program.
The purpose of the University of Florida Press is to
encourage, seek out, and publish original and schol-
arly manuscripts appropriate to a university recog-
nized 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 Univer-
sity, determines policies of publication relating to the
acceptance or rejection of manuscripts and the issu-
ance of author contracts. Each year the board exam-
ines numerous manuscripts submitted not only by
University faculty members but by authors from
throughout the world.
University Presses of Florida is a member of the
Association of American University Presses and of the
Association of American Publishers, Inc.
Students and members of the faculty and staff are
cordially 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 begin-
ning of the century, the University had begun to focus
its attention 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 Flor-
ida's commitment to international studies has ex-
panded rapidly. This expansion has resulted in the
creation of a Center for Latin American Studies, a
Center for African Studies, a Center for Tropical Agri-
culture, a Center for International Student and Fac-
ulty Exchanges, a program 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 Stud-
ies have been added to the undergraduate curricu-
lum. The University of Florida has participated in
programs of assistance and development in many
major areas of the world: Africa, South America, Mid-
dle America, and Southeast Asia. There has also been
a corresponding 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
million federally funded Graduate School and Inter-
national Studies Building, dedicated and named Lin-
ton E. Grinter Hall. Themodern 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.
Theexpansion of efforts in these directions repre-
sents- conviction on the part of the University that
today's students must be aware, in more than a super-
ficial way, of developments and -trends outside our
national boundaries if they are to live in a world of
peace and harmony. International education is essen-
tial 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 additional assignment of Dean of Interna-
;tional Studies and Programs. In this capacity, the
'Dean coordinates the activities of the University's
Council on International Studies and Programs and
represents the University at various meetings and on
councils and committees relating to international ac-
Sademic activities, projects, and enterprises.
The Center for International Student and Faculty Ex-.
changes is a service organization to facilitate admin-
istration of international student and faculty
exchanges 'and coordination and enrichment of ex-
change and research programs which have an inter-
disciplinary relationship. It provides the vehicle for
application for and receipt of federally funded institu-
tional area studies programs, assists administratively
in functions involving interdisciplinary technical as-
sistance programs abroad, counsels students inter-
ested in study abroad, and assists faculty in seeking
funds for support of international education and re-
search.
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 administration of
TOEIL is given near the end of fall, spring and sum-
mer terms. Further information is available from the
Director, English Language Institute, 313 Norman
Hall.
The Center for African Studies, established with fi-
nancial assistance under Title VI of the Higher Educa-
tion Act, is responsible for the direction and
coordination of interdisciplinary instructional and re-
search activities related to Africa. It cooperates with
departments in administering and staffing a coordi-
nated 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.-Stu-
dents admitted to the Graduate School in pursuit of a
INTERDISCIPLINARY GRADUATE STUDIES / 35
i
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
sponsors conferences on African topics, and a collo-
quium series-BARAZA--with invited lecturers. The
Center has a fairly wide ranging set of outreach ac-
tivities addressed to public school teachers as well as
community colleges and other universities. The Cen-
ter is responsible for editing the African Studies Re-
view, which is the journal of the African Studies
SAssociation.
Library Resources.-The Center supports directly
as well as through various departments selective li-
brary acquisitions to meet the instructional and re-
search needs of the faculty and students. The Office
*of Instructional Resources holds a number of educa-
tional films on African topics, and the audiovisual
library of the Department of Art holds approximately
5,000 African art slides.
African Art.-The University Gallery holds ai ex-
tensive collection of African sculpture and cloth. The
Rosenbloom Collection, 37 pieces of African sculp-',
ture, is housed at the Florida State Museum.
Graduate Degree Programs.-The Center for Af;
rican Studies does not offer interdisciplinary gradu-
ate degrees. With the cooperation of its participating
departments, it offers the Certificate in African Stud-
ies in conjunction with the master's and doctoral le-
grees.
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 re-
quirements of the major department; (6) 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 lead-
ing 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 po-
litical science-international relations program is de-
signed 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 interdisciplinary 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, agri-
culture, statistics, and computer sciences. For the
Ph.D., the student must complete the requirements
for the M.A. and then has the option of taking (1)
either three fields in political science or (2) two fields
36 / GENERAL INFORMATION
in political science and a third in another discipline.
The Center for Latin American Studies coordinates
teaching, research, and service activities related to
Latin America and the Caribbean.
Master of Arts Degree in Latin American Studies.-
The master's degree offered through the Center is
available in two versions, both of which require a 15-
credit major concentration. The disciplinary con-
centration emphasizes training and research in area
and language studies, which develop a greater appre-
ciation and understanding of Latin America's cultures
and" societies, Students concentrate in one depart- *
ment, which may be Anthropology, Economics, Food
and Resource Economics, Geography, History, Politi-
cal Science, Romance Languages and Literatures
(Spanish or Portuguese), or Sociology. This option is,
especially suited to the needs of students who wish to
obtain a well-rounded background in Latin American
Studies before pursuing the Ph.D. in a specialized
discipline.
The topical concentration clusters course work and
research around an applied field focusing on con-
Stemporary Latin American problems. Students con-
centrate in a thematic field such as Brazilian studies,
Caribbean studies, international communications,
museum studies, natural resource management and
conservation, population studies, or tropical agri-
culture. This option builds on prior professional or
administrative experiences and prepares students for
technical and professional work related to Latin
America and the Caribbean.
Other requirements, common to both options are
(1) 12 credits of Latin American area and language
courses in two other departments, including one se-
mester of LAS 6938; (2) a reading, writing, and speak-
ing knowledge of one Latin American language
(Spanish, Portuguese, Aymara, or Haitian Creole);
and (3) a thesis on an interdisciplinary Latin American
topic.
The master's program in Latin American studies is
intended primarily for persons who are not aiming at
a teaching career in traditional academic depart-
ments. Although the M.A. in Latin American studies
is a terminal degree, many past recipients have en-
tered the Ph.D. programs in related disciplines from
which they pursue university teaching careers. Other
graduates are employed in the foreign service, edu-
cational and research institutions, international or-
ganizations, government agencies, nonprofit corpo-
rations, and private companies in the United States
and Latin America.
Prerequisites for admission to the program are (1) a
baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or
university; (2) a grade average.of B for all upper-
division undergraduate work; (3) a combined verbal-
quantitative score of 1000 on the Graduate Record
Examination; (4) a TOEFL score of 550 for nonnative
speakers of English; and (5) a basic knowledge of
either Spanish or Portuguese.
Graduate Certificates in Latin American Studies.-
Graduate students may earn a Certificate in Latin
American Studies along with a degree in agriculture,
architecture, business administration, education,.
fine arts, journalism, and communications, and liber-
al arts and sciences. The requirements for thesis de-
gree candidates are (1) 20 credits of Latin American
course work in the major department; (2) 6 credits of
Latin American course work in another department,
including one semester of LAS 6938; (3) a reading
knowledge of a Latin American language; and (4) a
.thesis on a Latin American topic.
Certificate requirements for nonthesis degree can-
didates are (1) a Latin American focus within the ma-
jor department; (2) 12 credits of Latin American
courses in two other departments, including one se-
mester of LAS 6938; and (3) a reading knowledge of a
Latin American language.
Advanced Graduate Certificate in Latin American
Studies.-The Center offers a Certificate in Latin
American Studies for Ph.D. candidates in agriculture,
anthropology, business administration, economics,
education, food and resource economics, geogra-
phy, history, political science, sociology, and Spanish.
Requirements are (1) a Latin American concentration
within the major department; (2) 20 credits of Latin
American courses in two other departments, includ-
ing one semester of LAS 6938; (3) a reading, writing,
and speaking knowledge of one Latin American lan-
guage and a reading knowledge of another; (4) six
months' residence in Latin America devoted to disser-
tation research; and (5) dissertation on a Latin Amer-
ican topic.
Graduate Fellowships and Assistantships.-In ad-
dition to University fellowships and assistantships,
the Center for Latin American Studies administers
financial assistance from outside sources, including
Title VI fellowships.
Research.-The Center supports several research
and training programs that provide research oppor-
tunities and financial support for graduate students,
especially in the Amazonian, Andean, and Caribbean
regions.
Library Resources.-The University of Florida li-
braries contain more than 215,000 volumes of printed
works as well as manuscripts, maps, and microforms
dealing with Latin America. Approximately 80 percent
of the Latin American collection is in Spanish, Por-
tuguese, and French. Holdings represent all disci-
plines and areas of Latin America but are strongest in
the social sciences, history, and literature, and in the
Caribbean, circum-Caribbean, and Brazilian areas,
with increasing strength in the Andean and Southern
Cone regions.
Other Activities.-The Center sponsors con-
ferences, colloquia, and cultural events; supports
publication of scholarly works; provides educational
outreach service; and cooperates with other campus
units in overseas research and training activities. The
Center also administers summer programs in Brazil,
Colombia, and Mexico.
For further information on the Center's programs
and activities, please contact the Director ofjthe Cen-
ter for Latin American Studies, 319 Grinter Hall.
The Center for International Economics and Business
Studies conducts basic and applied research on topics
relating to the global economic and business en-
vironment and how corporations, governments, su-
pranational institutions such as the World Bank, and
individuals interact in an international context. The
major emphasis of the research conducted by the
INTERDISCIPLINARY GRADUATE STUDIES / 37
Center is on international capital markets, foreign
exchange rates, and international trade, but other
related areas are also studied.
The Center sponsors research studies by faculty
and graduate students, sponsors master's theses and
doctoral dissertations, coordinates College contribu-
tions to interdisciplinary programs and studies with
other units of the University, and serves as the princi-
pal contact point within the College of Business Ad-
ministration for international matters. For additional
information, contact the Director, Center for Interria-
tional Economics and Business Studies, 315 Business
Building.
The Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS) is a con-
sortium of major educational and research institu-
tions in the United States and abroad, created to
promote understanding of tropical environments and
their intelligent use by man. The University of Florida
is a charter member. Graduate field courses in Cen-
tral America are coordinated with the regional office
in Costa Rica. Courses with varying content are of-
fered in the agricultural sciences, earth sciences, for-
estry, geography, marine science, meteorology, and
terrestrial biology during 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 grad-
uate student may register for eight credits in an ap-
propriate 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 grad-
uate students who have had limited tropical experi-
ence. Further information can be obtained from the
OTS campus office, 223 Bartram Hall.
The Center for Tropical Agriculture, within the In-
stitute 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 interdisciplin-
ary minor in tropical agriculture may be planned at
both the master's and doctoral levels by students
majoring in agriculture, 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, agri-
cultural production, and the language and culture of
tropical countries.
Certificate in Tropical Agriculture (CTA).-A pro-
gram for a specialization (with certificate) in tropical
agriculture for graduate students is available through
the College of Agriculture. Application brochures are
available from the Office of the Dean for Resident
Instruction (College of Agriculture), 1001 McCarty
Hall.
The CTA is designed to prepare students forwork in
both the biological and social aspects of tropical agri-
culture. Students entering the program will receive
individual counseling to insure that each receives
appropriate course work, language preparation, and
(if desired) experience in a foreign country.
The CTA requires a minimum of 12 credits of
courses. The "typical" certificate program will consist
of 12 to 24 credits. These hours may, with approval
from regular graduate committees, also count toward
the M.S. or Ph.D. Students from all academic back-
grounds who have career interests in tropical agri-
culture are encouraged to consider the CTA. The CTA
Steering Committee will counsel individual students
into appropriate biological, agricultural, social, and
management courses.
Students in the CTA program are required to dem-
onstrate proficiency in a second language. A score on
the Foreign Service Institute (FSI) Language Examina-
tion of 2.0, or a comparable score on a similar exam-
ination, is a prerequisite to receiving the certificate.
While no specific second language is required, Span-
ish, French, or Portugese is strongly suggested.
Experience in a foreign country is not a requisite for
the CTA. It is, however, strongly encouraged. A pro-
posal, filed at least one semester in advance of for-
eign work, is required for credit under the CTA
program.
Research.-The Center provides research grants to
faculty members and their graduate students and as-
sists in the coordination of interdisciplinary research
funded elsewhere. Development assistance con-
tracts in agriculture and related fields frequently have
research components.
Student Support.-Students within the College of
Agriculture and the School of Forest Resources and
Conservation 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 dis-
semination 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 mate-
rials for the library and the data bank.
BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES
The University of Florida Marine Laboratory at Sea-
horse Key is located 57 miles west of Gainesville on

Biophysics and bioengineering are interdisciplinary
areas which bring the concepts and methods of the
basic and applied physical sciences tb bear upon
biological problems. Students may elect one or an-
other of these programs depending upon their back-
grounds, the extent of their interest and abilities in
physical sciences, and their concern with and compe-
tence in development of new physics or engineering
for use in biology.
One program is conducted under the supervision
of the Biophysics Council, which includes represen-
tatives from the Colleges of Agriculture, Liberal Arts
and Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Several
departments offer biophysics options at the graduate
level. A student interested in such an option must
qualify for graduate study in a department and satisfy
the advanced degree requirements established by
the departmental faculty. The Biophysics Council may
then provide individual guidance in curricular mat-
ters. For information on this program, write to the
representative of the Biophysics Council in one of the
following departments: Biochemistry and Molecular
Biology, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Electrical
Engineering, Entomology and Nematology, Materials
Science and Engineering, Microbiology and Cell Sci-
ence, Zoology. The Council representative in Physics
should be consulted for advice on courses and semi-
nars in biological physics.
The Departments of Chemical and Electrical Engi-
neering offer master's and doctoral study con-
centrations in biochemical and biomedical engineer-
ing, respectively; and advanced study and research in
biomaterials are available in the Department of Mate-
rials Science and Engineering. Write to the depart-
ment concerned for further information.
A specialization in biological physics is available
within the Department of Physics. Students in this
option must qualify for admission to graduate studies
in physics and satisfy all of the requirements fqr a
regular advanced degree in the department. In addi-
tion these students must prepare themselves in
organic and physical chemistry and general biology,
to the extent that they can study and demonstrate
knowledgeability in molecular biology, cytology, and
physiology. Research studies are generally con-
ducted in collaboration with scientists in biological or
medical fields on this campus or elsewhere. Doctoral
candidates must contribute to new knowledge in
both physics and biology, and demonstrate ability to
select for themselves significant new problems in
biology. This program is monitored by the graduate
faculty in physics and by two interdisciplinary advi-
sory committees; of the latter two, one is comprised
of members from pertinent physical and biological
disciplines on this campus, and the other of bioscien-
tists from outside the University. For further informa-

sponsible for research dealing with all phases of Flor-
ida's agricultural production, processing, and mar-
keting. This statewide research program includes
activities by departments located on the Gainesville
campus as well as on the campuses of Research and
Education Centers and Agricultural Research and Ed-
ucation Centers throughout the state. Close coopera-
tion with numerous Florida agriculturally related
agencies and organizations is maintained to provide
research support for Florida's broad variety of crops
and commodities.
The Land-Grant philosophy of research, extension,
and teaching is strongly supported and administered
by the Vice President for Agricultural Affairs. The
Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, under his
leadership, comprises the Florida Agricultural Experi-
ment Station, the Cooperative Extension Service, and
the College of Agriculture, each functioning under a
dean. Many of the IFAS faculty have joint appoint-
ments between areas.
Funds for graduate assistants are made available to
encourage graduate training and professional scien-
tific improvement.
Research at the main station is conducted within 20
areas-Agricultural Engineering, Agricultural and Ex-
tension Education, Agronomy, Animal Science, Dairy
Science, Entomology and Nematology, Food and Re-
source Economics, Food Science and Human Nutri-
tion, Forest Resources and Conservation, 4-H and
Other Youth Programs, Fruit Crops, Home Econom-
ics, Microbiology and Cell Science, Ornamental Hor-
ticulture, Plant Pathology, Poultry Science, Soil
Science, Statistics, Vegetable Crops, and Veterinary
Medicine. In addition to the above, there are addi-
tional units vital to research programs, namely, Edi-
torial, Facilities Operations, Planning and Business
Affairs, Sponsored Programs, Personnel, and Federal
Affairs.
The locations of the major Research and Education
Centers are Belle Glade, Bradenton, Fort Lauderdale,
Homestead, Lake Alfred, Quincy, and Sanford. The
Agricultural Research and Education Centers are lo-
cated at Monticello, Brooksville, Fort Pierce, Immok-
alee, Dover, Hastings, Ona, Apopka, Marianna, Live
Oak, Leesburg, Vero Beach, and Jay. A Center for
Cooperative Agricultural Programs (CCAP) in Talla-
hassee is jointly supported with Florida A&M Univer-
sity.
The Florida Agricultural Experiment Station is co-
operating 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 Bio-
mass Energy Systems, the Center for Environmental
Toxicology, and the Center for Aquatic Plants.
DIVISION OF SPONSORED RESEARCH
The Division of Sponsored Research (DSR) has two
general functions: (1) the promotion and administra-
tion of the sponsored research program and (2) the
support of the total research program of the Univer-
sity for maximum benefit to the University and the
greatest service to the State of Florida. DSR seeks to
stimulate the growth of research and to expand bal-
anced research efforts throughout the University.
These activities directly support the graduate pro-
gram.
Policies and procedures of DSR are developed by a
Board of Directors working with the Vice President
for Research within the administrative policies and
procedures of the University. The Graduate Council
serves as adviser on scientific matters and on issues
relating to the graduate program.
All research, grant-in-aid, training, or educational
service agreement proposals must have the approval
of the Vice President for Research before submission.
Subsequent negotiations of sponsored awards are
executed under the Vice President's supervision.
DSR's management of proposal processing and award
administration relieves principal investigators and
departments of many of the detailed administrative
and reporting duties connected with sponsored re-
search. DSR also assists researchers in finding spon-
sors for their projects and disseminates program
information, research policies and regulations, and
proposal deadlines throughout the University.
The law establishing the Division of Sponsored Re-
search enables the use of some recovered indirect
cost funds to support innovative research. The DSR
INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH CENTERS / 41
Board of Directors has the responsibility for the
award of these Internal Support Program funds to
eligible faculty. For information, write the Vice Presi-
dent for Research, Division of Sponsored Research,
223 Grinter Hall.
FLORIDA ENGINEERING AND INDUSTRIAL
EXPERIMENT STATION
The Florida Engineering and Industrial Experiment
Station (EIES) developed from early research activities
of the engineering faculty and was officially estab-
lished in 1941 by the Legislature as an integral part of
the College of Engineering. Its mandate is "to or-
ganize and promote the prosecution of research proj-
ects 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
relationship, 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 significant problems ranging from energy to
water resources, environmental issues to health-re-
lated activities. Of course many of these problems
transcend the State and are also of national concern.
The Station has developed a national and interna-
tional 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 engi-
neering problems normally not encountered in a col-
lege program, and helps the faculty better instill
students with the qualifications necessary for the suc-
cessful practice 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 con-
tracts and grants with governmental agencies, indus-
trial organizations, and foundations. EIES has
excellent facilities and faculty in many diverse fields
such as computer-aided engineering, automation sci-
ences and manufacturing engineering, electronic de-
vices, optical communication and related micro-
fabrication techniques, a variety of solar and other
alternative energy technologies, biomaterials and
other new materials, biomedical engineering, com-
puter applications, information processing systems,
and a broad spectrum of activities related to public
works, environmental and coastal engineering.
INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDY OF THE
COMMUNICATION PROCESSES
The Institute for Advanced Study of the Communi-
cation Processes (IASCP) provides opportunities for
University faculty and advanced students to carry out
research in the communication processes. The In-
stitute is interdisciplinary, with membership drawn
from the Colleges of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Engi-
neering, Medicine, Dentistry and Fine Arts. The Uni-
versity of Florida in Gainesville is its headquarters,
but it is structured to serve the entire State University
System. Currently there are active participants from
Florida State University, the University of South Flor-
ida, and Florida International University. The IASCP
faculty also includes members located at other uni-
versities and research laboratories both within the
continental United States and abroad.
The overall objective of IASCP is the maintenance
of a scientific center of excellence focused on human
communicative behavior. The Institute's program in-
cludes (but is not confined to) three broad areas: 1)
the communicator(s), i.e., the physiological/physical/
psychological processes by which individuals gener-
ate and transmit communicative signals (speech), 2)
the respondentss, and how receptive (hearing) and
neural mechanisms function to process signals with-
in a variety of environments, and 3) the message, i.e.,
the codes and signs (language) that constitute the
sum total of these communicative messages. The
IASCP faculty includes students and scientists with a
variety of interests and training. Expertise is repre-
sented by the phonetic sciences, speech pathology
and audiology, psychology, psycholinguistics, lin-
guistics, psychoacoustics, auditory neurophysiology,
electrical engineering, computer sciences, physics,
communication studies, biocommunication, dentis-
try, and medicine.
As stated, IASCP's overall research effort is basically
an interdisciplinary one, but the focus of each inves-
tigator's interests is the advancement of knowledge
about human communication. For information, write
the Director, Institute for Advanced Study of the
Communication Processes, 63 Arts and Sciences

societal disciplines that relate closely to our at-
mospheric environment. As an interdisciplinary cen-
ter, ICAAS promotes pure and applied research in the
atmospheric sciences and provides machinery for
translating research into forms relevant to societal
42 / GENERAL INFORMATION
needs. Activities include a diverse range of tro-
pospheric and micrometeorological research as well
as biological, ecological, and technological research
related to the quality of the air we breathe. In par-
ticular, the development of clean combustion tech-
nologies which foster the energy needs of Florida and
the nation while reducing harmful atmospheric emis-
sions has been a major ICAAS focus of the past dec-
ade. These activities are dispersed widely in the
Colleges of Engineering, Liberal Arts and Sciences,
Agriculture, Medicine, Law, and Business Administra-
tion.
Interdisciplinary projects of ICAAS encompass (1)
studies of sources, atmospheric transformation and
transport of acidic substances for a Florida acid rain
assessment, initially coordinated through an inter-
disciplinary Acid Deposition Science Workshop,
Causes and Effects, and leading to a monograph on
the workshop proceedings; (2) studies of ultraviolet,
visible, and infrared radiation levels reaching the
ground for photobiological applications; (3) evalua-
tion of the environmental impact for the conversion
of Florida's oil boilers to coal including development
of interpolated analytic wind roses and pollutant con-
centration contours for Florida; (4) interplay of en-
ergy production needs relative to air quality
standards including the technical, scientific, medical,
agricultural, psychological, economic and legal as-
pects of the energy/air quality problems resulting in a
monograph "Coal Burning Issues" on an assessment
of the impact of increased coal use in Florida; and (5)
economic and environmental benefits of co-burning
coal, coal-water slurries, biomass, and waste with
natural gas for efficient energy recovery and reduced
emissions. These energy-atmospheric environment
projects have led to the formation of the University of
Florida-Sunland Training Center-Clean Combustion
Technology Laboratory (CCTL) which evolved from
joint programs of ICAAS, the Department of Mechan-
ical Engineering, IFAS Agronomy and UF analytical
departments. For further information, write the Di-

organizations in the United States. In addition to of-
fering general management courses that are attended
by participants from a variety of businesses and cor-
porations, The Management Center also works di-
rectly with private firms and state agencies providing
training that is specifically designed to meet the
needs of the contracting organization.
CENTER FOR MATHEMATICAL SYSTEM THEORY
The Center was established in 1972 to advance re-
search in all areas of system theory dependent on
mathematical methodology. Both pure and applied
problems are emphasized. The Center is operated on
an interdisciplinary basis in cooperation with the De-
partments of Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, In-
dustrial and Systems Engineering, Statistics, and
Engineering Sciences.
The permanent faculty of the Center presently in-
cludes Professors R.E. Kalman (Director), G. Basile,
V.M. Popov, and T.E. Bullock. There are numerous
affiliated faculty and members and many visitors of
international stature. An active research seminar is
conducted throughout the year on recent develop-
ments in system theory, as well as certain aspects of
computer science and econometrics.
One of the principal areas of current interest is the
identification of linear relations and systems from
noisy data using the concept of positivity. Applica-
tions of this work include model building in such
areas as econometrics, biometrics, psychometrics,
etc. Another principal 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 ap-
plications to systems with time delays, systems de-
pending on parameters, and spatially distributed
systems. Recent work has also been directed toward
the control of linear systems with time-varying coeffi-
cients and the control of linear systems with param-
eter or modeling uncertainty (e.g., robust stabiliza-
tion).
MINERAL RESOURCES RESEARCH CENTER
To meet the future demand for mineral resources,
which is critically dependent on the availability of low
grade complex ores, both the federal and the state
governments have committed themselves to de-
veloping the necessary technology for processing of
such ores. As a result, an interdisciplinary Mineral
Resources Research Center was established in the
College of Engineering under the jurisdiction of the
Department of Materials Science and Engineering.
Recently, the research activities of the Center have
been augmented with an educational program in
mineral processing. The major objective of these twin
activities is to investigate specific problems through
application of basic scientific principles and to pro-
vide the skilled personnel needed by the mineral
industries. The current emphasis in research is on
processing of low grade phosphate ores, waste dis-
posal problems in the phosphate industry, process-
46 / GENERAL INFORMATION
ing of energy minerals such as coal and oil shale, fine
particle processing, applied surface and colloid
chemistry and hydrometallurgy. These programs are
truly interdisciplinary and involve scientists and engi-
neers from such additional departments as Chemical

zillotti, Public Policy Research Center, 206 Bryan Hall.
PUBLIC UTILITY RESEARCH CENTER
Florida's Public Utility Research Center (PURC) was
organized in 1972. Its Executive Committee includes
representatives of public utilities, the University, the
Florida Public Service Commission, and the Florida
Public Counsel. 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 com-
panies and regulatory authorities.
PURC seeks to accomplish these goals by providing
student fellowships and assistantships, by support-
ing faculty research, by holding conferences and
seminars to discuss both major policy issues and cur-
rent faculty research, and by serving as a contact
point between business, government, and the aca-
demic community.
PURC's research is disseminated in working pa-
pers, journals, and books, as well as in professional
meetings and governmental hearings. Major areas of
interest include measurement of the cost of capital;
financing utility construction programs; the restruc-
turing of the telecommunications industry; rate de-
sign for telephone, gas, and electric utilities; and
other timely issues which are important to utility
companies, consumers, and regulators.
Contact the Executive Director, Public Utility Re-
search Center, 361 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 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 re-
quiring multidisciplinary inputs. Graduate students
also conduct their own research for theses and dis-
sertations in the Center.
The Center also sponsors or cosponsors a number
STUDENT SERVICES / 47
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 appraisal, and real estate investment analy-
sis. Most of these courses and seminars are open to
full-time undergraduate 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 man-
agerial process and rates of return in various types of
real estate businesses and properties. The Center has
developed textual 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 Flor-
ida Real Estate Commission, and the Society of Real
Estate Appraisers Foundation.
CENTER FOR SENSORY STUDIES
Sensory studies deal with those systems which pro-
vide an organism with information about its envi-
ronment. 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 convergence 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 disci-
pline, which may be a specialized area within one of
the biological, medical, or physical sciences, and an
introductory 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 techniques. The intent is to develop a
broad perspective as well as necessary skills within an
established academic discipline. This provides the
foundation upon which sensory studies will be de-
veloped. Affiliation with an academic degree granting
program will also provide an additional basis for fu-
ture 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 Di-
rector,'Center for Sensory Studies, Physics Depart-
ment, 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, re-
gional, 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 participation of faculty and graduate
students who are interested in research on urban and
regional topics. The Center maintains an updated
listing of grant announcements 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 Fisher School of Accounting offers graduate
work leading to the Master of Accounting (M.Acc.)
degree and the Ph.D. degree with a major in business
administration and an accounting concentration. The
M.Acc. degree program offers specialization in each
of the four areas of auditing/financial accounting,
management accounting, accounting systems, and
taxation. The Ph.D. accounting concentration is de-
signed to prepare students for careers in research
and teaching at major universities or for research-
oriented careers. A joint program leading to the Juris
Doctor and Master of Accounting degrees also is of-
fered by the Fisher School of Accounting and College
of Law. Specific details for the M.Acc., M.Acc./J.D.,
and Ph.D. programs will be supplied by the Fisher
School of Accounting upon request. The degree Mas-
ter of Business Administration with an accounting
concentration is offered by the College of Business
Administration. Requirements for the MBA are in-
cluded in the front section of the Catalog.
The M.Acc. and the Ph.D. accounting programs
require admission standards of at least the following:
For the M.Acc. program, a combined verbal and
quantitative score of 1100 on the Graduate Record
Examination, a combined GRE score of 1200 for the
Ph.D. program; or a score of 500 for the M.Acc. and
550 for the Ph.D. program on the Graduate Manage-
ment Admission Test. Admission to the M.Acc. or
Ph.D. accounting graduate programs cannot be
granted until scores are received.
Information on minimum GPA standards for admis-
sion to the M.Acc. program may be obtained from the
office of the Assistant Director. Foreign students must
submit a TOEFL test score of at least 550 and a satisfac-
tory GMAT or GRE score.
Admission to the graduate courses in accounting
requires that students have, or complete without
graduate credit, approximately the courses required
of an undergraduate accounting major. With this
background the M.Acc. degree can normally be
earned in three semesters.
The M.Acc. degree requires 36 credits of course
work. A minimum of 20 credits must be in graduate
level courses; a minimum of 16 credits must be in
graduate level accounting courses. The remaining
credits are selected from recommended elective
courses that vary by area of specialization.
Requirements for the Ph.D. degree include a core
of courses in mathematical methods, statistics, and
economic theory; one or two supporting fields se-
lected by the student; and a major field of account-
ing. Students are expected to acquire teaching
experience as part of the Ph.D. degree program.
Grants-in-aid will be awarded for this teaching. For-
eign students must submit a Test of Spoken English
(TSE) test score of at least 220 along with satisfactory
GMAT/GRE and TOEFL scores in order to obtain a
teaching appointment. Students are expected to en-
roll in ACG 6940 for a minimum of three credits.

and the Master of Science degrees in agronomy with
specialization in crop ecology, crop nutrition and
physiology, crop production, weed science, genet-
ics, cytogenetics, or plant breeding. A nonthesis de-
gree, Master of Agriculture, is offered with a major in
agronomy.

These members of the facultyof the Florida State University (*) and
Florida Atlantic University (f) 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 An-
thropology.
The Department of Anthropology offers graduate
work leading to the Master of Arts (thesis or non-
thesis option) and Doctor of Philosophy degrees.
Graduate training is offered in applied anthropology,
social and cultural anthropology, archeology, an-
thropological linguistics, and physical/biological an-
thropology.
There is a general option and an interdisciplinary
one. The general option allows students to concen-
trate at the M.A. level on the integration of the four
subfields of anthropology and to specialize at the
Ph.D. level. The interdisciplinary 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 anthropology and an out-
side field. More information about these two options
is found in the department publication on graduate
programs and policies that may be obtained by writ-
ing directly to the department.
The Department of Anthropology generally re-
quires a minimum score of 1100 on the Graduate
Record Examination and a 3.2 overall grade point
average based on a 4.0 system.
Candidates for the M.A. are required to take ANT
6038 and 6917. No more than six hours of ANT 6971
will be counted toward the minimum requirements
for the M.A. with thesis. Knowledge of a foreign lan-
guage 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 aver-
age 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 Integrative Basic Knowledge Examination
or the comprehensive examination, and 3) a thesis,
report, or paper judged to be of excellent quality by
the student's supervisory committee. In most cases,

candidates for the Ph.D. must achieve competency in
a language other than English. Entering students who
already have earned a master's degree may apply for
direct admission to the doctoral program.
Study for the Ph.D. degree in anthropology at the
University of Florida by qualified master's degree re-
cipients at Florida Atlantic University and Florida
State University is facilitated by a cooperative ar-
rangement in which appropriate faculty members of
these universities are members of the graduate fac-
ulty of the University of Florida.

The Department of Architecture offers graduate
work leading to the first professional degree, Master
of Architecture. Students entering the program at the
University of Florida will matriculate in one of the
following tracks:
Baccalaureate in Architecture Base.-For those stu-
dents who have a four-year accredited baccalaureate
degree from an architectural program, two years in
residence are normally required for completion of
the Master of Architecture degree. Applications for
graduate admission, including official transcripts,
GRE scores, and TOEFL scores, if necessary, must be
received in the Office of the Registrar by January 15.
In addition, applicants are required to submit to the
Department of Architecture, 231 ARCH, University of
Florida, the following: a portfolio of their work in
architecture and related fields; a scholarly statement
of intent; 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 semester.
The graduate Professional Core I is taught only in
the fall semester, is required of all graduate students
in this track, and is prerequisite to the remaining'
course work. After completion of Professional Core I,
the student is expected to pursue studies related to a
special field of interest-architectural design, archi-
tectural structures, environmental technology, or ar-
chitectural preservation. Concentration in this
special field of interest will prepare the student for
architectural practice as well as stimulate an intellec-
tual challenge in the field of study. Additional infor-
mation concerning programs for each of these areas
is available from the department. The student's over-
all college experience, including undergraduate pro-
grams in architecture and the two-year graduate
program, is intended to be a complete unit of profes-
sional education leading toward practice in architec-
ture or related professions.
Related and Nonrelated Degree Base.-Those stu-
dents holding a baccalaureate degree in any related
or nonrelated academic area may apply for graduate
studies leading to the degree Master of Architecture.
Based upon evaluation of an applicant's transcripts, a
specific curriculum is developed for each accepted
candidate in this program. The length of time of this
program depends on the academic background of
the applicant. These applicants, in addition to satisfy-
ing University requirements for admission, are re-
quired to submit to the Department of Architecture,
231 ARCH, University of Florida, the following: a
portfolio of their work in architecture and related
fields if applicable; a scholarly statement of intent
and objectives; and three letters of recommendation
from teachers or employers. Students may enter this
program in any semester. Therefore, applications for
graduate admission, including transcripts, GRE
scores, and TOEFL scores, if necessary, must be re-
ceived by the Office of the Registrar three months in
advance of anticipated start date.
Accredited Five-Year Professional Base.-For those
students holding a baccalaureate degree in architec-
ture from an accredited five-year professional degree
program, the graduate faculty in architecture may
elect to admit them for a one-year degree program. In
these cases, a specialized curriculum which compli-
ments the needs of the applicant is developed. The
minimum registration is 30 credits but may increase
depending on the transcripts and whether the appli-
cant is seeking architectural registration in the State
of Florida.
The department reserves the right to retain student
work for purposes of record, exhibition, or instruc-
tion. 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 College of Architecture sponsors special cur-
ricula in architecture each summer to enhance the
academic program. These curricula, offered during
summer sessions, are intended to supplement re-
quired course work. Each of the three, Preservation
Institute: Caribbean; Preservation Institute: Nan-
tucket; and VIA: Summer Studies in Italy, accept stu-
dents, not only from the University of Florida, but
from academic circles throughout the United States
and the world.

*This member of the faculty of the University of South Florida is
also a member of the graduate faculty of the University of Florida and
participates in the doctoral program in the University of Florida
Department of Astronomy.
The Department of Astronomy offers graduate
work in astronomy and astrophysics leading to the
degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philoso-
phy. 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 as-
tronomy; structure, kinematics, and dynamics of gal-
axies; planetary magnetospheres; lunar occultation
observations; radio and optical instrumentation; and
certain topics of theoretical steller astrophysics. Ad-
ditional theoretical and laboratory research directed
toward conducting and interpreting space experi-
ments occurs in the department's Space Astronomy
Laboratory (Dr. J.L. Weinberg, Director). The depart-
ment is active in Voyager radioastronomical investiga-
tions of the magnestospheres of Jupiter, Saturn, and
Uranus.
Major Department Facilities.-Rosemary Hill Ob-
servatory, 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 46-km-
baseline radio interferometer. The Radio Observa-
tory, 50 miles from campus, is equipped with low
frequency (below 40 MHz) instrumentation consist-
ing of a 7-acre, filled aperature, phase-steered array,
a number of smaller antennas, advanced terminal
equipment including wide-band radio spectro-
graphs, and the other terminus of the 46-km-baseline
interferometer. In Chile, the Maipu Radio Astronom-
ical Observatory is operated in cooperation with the
University of Chile. Other facilities on campus in-
clude numerous mini- and microcomputers, audio-
and videotape processing equipment, iris photom-
eter, microdensitometer, blink comparator and mea-
suring engines. The Space Astronomy Laboratory
(SAL) operates a night-sky observatory on Mt. Halea-
kala, Hawaii, and the Schuerman Laboratory, north of
Gainesville. At the Schuerman Lab ground based and
space instrumentation are built, tested, and cali-
brated. There is also a microwave analog scattering
experiment, a laser-particle levitation facility for mea-
suring scattering and dynamics of solid particles and a
nuclear astrophysics facility along with a micro-
processor integration unit for building space-borne
gamma-ray detectors. Computers for research in-
clude an IBM 3090-400 on campus and a VAX 11/750 at
66 / FIELDS OF INSTRUCTION
SAL. Several research programs use national astron-
omy facilities (KPNO, NRAO, NAIC, CTIO) or space-
craft (including the space shuttle), and SAL staff have
access to nuclear accelerators at Florida State Univer-
sity and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. A prototype
automated 8-cm refractor has been installed at the
South Pole for stellar photometry.
For direct admission to the program, a student
should have a degree in astronomy, physics or mathe-
matics from an accredited program. Students with
degrees in related fields, such as engineering, may be
admitted with the understanding that certain founda-
tion courses will have to be taken. If it seems desir-
able, an individual with a strong background in
physics may perform the graduate 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 program. Com-
plete details of the program and research facilities
may be obtained by writing the Chairman, 211 Space
Sciences Building.

examination will result in the addition of a prere-
quisite course or courses in English to the student's
plan of study. The examination must be taken during
the first registration period that the student is en-
rolled.
Holders of a four-year undergraduate degree in
building construction or its equivalent in related
fields may normally complete the requirement for
the master's degree in one academic year (two se-
mesters) as full-time students. "Equivalent in related
fields" should include studies in construction mate-
rials and methods, structures, and management. Stu-
dents with deficiencies in these related fields may
need longer residence for the master's degree, as
they will be required to take specified basic courses
to provide a foundation for advanced courses.
No more than five credits of BCN 6934 or 6971 may
be used to satisfy the credit requirements for a mas-
ter's degree without written permission of the Direc-

mann-Clark. Assistant Professor: G. Lyberatos.
Graduate work for the Ph.D., M.E., and M.S. de-
grees in chemical engineering emphasizes these
areas: (1) chemical engineering science-transport
phenomena, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, ki-
netics, statistical mechanics, microstructure of mat-
ter, and materials science; (2) chemical engineering
systems-chemical reaction engineering, process
control, process dynamics, optimization, separation
processes; and (3) interdisciplinary chemical engi-
neering-energy conversion and fuel cells, polymer
science, microelectronics, process economics, bio-
fluid mechanics, and bioengineering.
Beyond the Graduate School requirements, admis-
sion to graduate work in chemical engineering de-
pends upon the qualifications of the student, whose
record and recommendations are carefully and indi-
vidually studied. During registration week each grad-
uate student registering for the first time is counseled
to develop an initial study program. The results of a
brief examination covering the field of chemical engi-
neering are also utilized by the graduate committee
to guide the student. As a consequence, a program
may include some undergraduate courses, if needed,
to prepare for graduate course work.
The program of all students will involve research
experience through the courses ECH 6905, 6971, or
7980. All new graduate students are expected to be-
come proficient in computer programming during
their first semester on campus.

'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 De-
partment of Chemistry.
The department offers the Master of Science and
Doctor of Philosophy degrees with a major in chemis-
try and specialization in analytical, organic, in-
organic, 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 un-
dergraduate training in inorganic, analytical, organic,
and physical chemistry. Normally this will include as a
minimum a year of general chemistry which may in-
clude qualitative analysis, one semester of quan-
titative analysis, one year of organic chemistry, one
year of physical chemistry, and one semester of ad-
vanced inorganic chemistry. Additional courses in in-
strumental analysis, advanced physical and organic
chemistry are desirable. Deficiencies in any of these
areas may be corrected during the first year of gradu-
ate study. Such deficiencies are determined by a se-
ries of placement tests given prior to registration, and
the results of these tests are used in planning the
student's program.
Doctoral candidates are required to complete a
series of courses specified by the division of the
Chemistry Department in which they choose to spe-
cialize, CHM 6470, and two out-of-major-division
CHEMISTRY / 73
courses or equivalent examinations. Additional
courses may be required by the student's supervisory
committee or major professor. Foreign students
whose native language is not English must achieve a
minimum score of 220 on the Test of Spoken English.
All others must meet the departmental language re-
quirement in German, French, or Russian.
Candidates must serve not less than one year as
teaching 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 chem-
istry 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 8
such credits in physics and 8 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 Sci-
ence degree in chemistry requires a thesis. The non-
thesis degree Master of Science in Teaching is offered
with a major in chemistry and requires a written pa-
per of substantial length (30-50 pages) on an ap-
proved topic pertaining to some phase of chemistry,
under the course CHM 6905.
