THE GRADUATE SCHOOL
ORGANIZATION AND HISTORY
The Graduate School consists of the dean, associate
dean, the Graduate Council, and the graduate faculty.
General policies and standards of the Graduate School
are established by the graduate faculty. Any policy change
must be approved by the graduatedeans and the Graduate
Council. The Graduate School is responsible for the
enforcement of minimum general standards of graduate
work in the University and for the coordination of the
graduate programs of the various colleges and 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 administrator is
directly responsible for graduate study in that college.
The Graduate Council assists the dean in being the
agent of the graduate faculty for execution of policy
related to graduate study and associated research. The
Council, which is chaired by the graduate dean, considers
petitions and policy changes. Members of the graduate
faculty are appointed by the dean with the approval of the
Graduate Council. There are three levels of graduate
faculty: Restricted Graduate Faculty (RGF), who are ap-
pointed to temporary three-year terms to teach graduate-
level courses and direct master's theses; Graduate Studies
Faculty (GSF), who are on permanent appointments to
teach graduate-level courses and direct master's theses;
and Doctoral Research Faculty (DRF), who are appointed
in addition to direct doctoral dissertations.
No faculty member may perform any of these functions
without having been appointed to the graduate faculty,
though temporary exceptions may be made in unusual'
circumstances.
In the beginning the organization of graduate study was
very informal. Control was in the hands of a faculty
committee which reported directly to the President. In
1910, however, James N. Anderson, Head of the Depart-
ment of Ancient Languages, was appointed Dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences and Director of Graduate
Work, and in 1930 he became the first Dean of the
Graduate School. He was succeeded upon his retirement
in 1938 by T. M. Simpson, Head of the Department of
Mathematics, who held the position until 1951. C. F.
Byers, Head of the Department of Biological Sciences in
the University College, served as Acting Dean from June
1951 until August 1952 when he was succeeded by L. E.
'Grinter, who came from the Illinois Institute of Technol-
ogy, where he had been Vice President, Dean of the
Graduate School, and Research Professor. Upon becom-
ing Acting Vice President in 1969, Dr. Grinter was named
Dean Emeritus of the Graduate School. He was suc-
ceeded 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 Departmentof 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 Departmentof Chemistry,
Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and Executive
Vice President of the University of Florida prior to being
named Dean of the Graduate School in March 1973. In
September 1979, Dr. Sisler returned to teaching as Distin-
guished Service Professor of Chemistry. F. Michael Wahl,
Associate Dean of the Graduate School, Associate Direc-
tor 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 Reserve
University where he had served as Samuel St. John
Professor of Geology, Chairman of the Department of
Geology, and Dean of Science and Engineering. In Sep-
tember 1982, Dr. Stehli became Dean of the College of
Geosciences at the University of Oklahoma. Donald R.
Price, Associate Dean for Research and Professor of
Agricultural Engineering, served as Acting Dean from
January 1983 toJanuary 1985 when Madelyn M. Lockhart
became Dean of the Graduate School. Prior to her ap-
pointment, Dr. Lockhart served as Associate Dean of the
Graduate School and Professor of Economics. She held a
dual appointment as Dean of the Graduate School and
Dean of International Studies and Programs from June
1985 through August 1991.
Graduate study at the University of Florida existed
while the University was still on its Lake City campus.
However, the first graduate degrees-two Master of Arts
with a major in English and a Master of Science with a
major in entomology-were awarded on the Gainesville
campus in 1906. The first programs leading to the Ph.D.
were initiated in 1930, and the firstdegrees 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 1990-91, the total number of graduate
degrees awarded was 1,809 in more than 100 fields. The
proportion of Ph.D. degrees, after the initial rapid growth,
remained relatively static during most of the 1980s but
during the lastfew years has shown a significant increase.
In 1987-88, the total was 304; in 1988-89, 331 were
awarded; in 1989-90, there were 345; and in 1990-91,
there were 358.

ADMISSION TO THE
GRADUATE SCHOOL
Application for Admission.-Admission forms and in-
formation concerning admission procedures may be ob-
tained from the Registrar and Admissions Office. Prospec-
tive students are urged to apply for admission as early as
possible. For some departments deadlines for receipt of
admission applications may be earlier than those stated in
the current University Calendar; prospective students
6/GENERAL INFORMATION
should check with the appropriate department. Applica-
tions which meet minimum standards are referred to the
graduate selection committees of the various colleges and
departments for approval or disapproval.
To be admitted to graduate study in a given department,
the prospective student must satisfy the requirements of
the department as well as those of the Graduate School.
Admission to some programs is limited by the resources
available.
General Requirements.-The Graduate School, Uni-
versity of Florida, requires botha minimum grade average
of B for all upper-division undergraduate work and ac-
ceptable scores on the verbal, quantitative, and analytical
sections on the GRE General Test. Although no cut-off
GRE scores are used, the Graduate School uses, as a guide
for admission, scores at or above the national mean score
on each section. For some departments, and in more
advanced levels of graduate study, undergraduate aver-
ages or Graduate Record Examination scores above those
stated for the Graduate School may be required. Inquiries
about specific requirements should be addressed to the
department in question. 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 department, rec-
ommended by the department, and approved by the Dean
of the Graduate School.
Direct admission to the Graduate School is dependent
upon the presentation of a baccalaureate degree from an
accredited college or university. No application will be
considered unless the complete official transcript of all
the applicant's undergraduate and graduate work is in the
possession of the Registrar, and no transcript will be
accepted as official unless it is received directly from the
registrar of the institution in which the work is done.
Official supplementary transcripts are required as soon as
they are available for any work completed after applica-
tion for admission has been made.
The Board of Regents has also ruled that, in admitting
students for a given academic year, up to 10% may be
admitted as exceptions. Students admitted as exceptions
under the 10% waiver rule must present both an upper-
division grade point average and Graduate Record Exami-
nation General Test score with their applications and
meet other criteria required by the University, including
excellent letters of recommendation from colleagues,
satisfactory performance in a specified number of gradu-
ate courses taken as postbaccalaureate students, and/or
practical experience in the discipline for a specified
period of time.
The University encourages applications from qualified
applicants of both sexes from all cultural, racial, religious,
and ethnic groups. The University does not discriminate
on the basis of handicap or age in admission or access to
its programs and activities. The Title IX Coordinator is Dr.
Jacquelyn D. Hart, 352 Tigert Hall, 392-6004.
ADMISSIONS EXAMINATIONS
Graduate Record Examination.-In addition to the
General 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.-Students
applying for admission to the Graduate School for study
in the College of Business Administration may substitute
satisfactory scores on the Graduate Management Admis-
sion Test (GMAT) for the Graduate Record Examination.
Students applying for admission to the Master of Business
Administration (MBA) program must submit satisfactory
scores on the GMAT. Applicants should contact the
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 hold the Juris Doctor or equivalent degree
and must submit satisfactory scores on the Law School
Admission Test (LSAT).
FOREIGN STUDENTS
All foreign students seeking admission to the Graduate
School are required to submit satisfactory scores on the
GRE General 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 TOEFL scores but
must submit satisfactory scores on the General Test of the
Graduate Record Examination before their applications
for admission can be considered.
2. Students educated in foreign countries that do not
offer the GRE who apply for admission while residing
outside the United States may be granted, on the basis of
hardship, a one-semester postponement of the GRE but
not the TOEFL. Permission to register for subsequent
semesters will depend upon the submission of scores on
the Graduate Record Examination.
3. All foreign students applying for admission for the
Master of Business Administration program must submit
satisfactory scores from the Graduate Management Ad-
mission Test before their applications for admission will
be considered.
Foreign students whose scores on the TOEFL and verbal
portion of the GRE are not indicative of adequate writing
skills are required to write a short essay for examination.
If the skills demonstrated in the essay are not acceptable
for pursuing graduate work, the 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
assignments. Students who score below 220 on one of
these tests must take ENS 5501-Academic Spoken En-
glish I before they may accept teaching assistantships.
Students who score between 220 and 249 must take ENS
5502- Academic Spoken English II; this requirement
must be met while holding a teaching assignment.
Applicants should write to the Educational Testing
Service, Princeton, New Jersey, for registration forms and
other information concerning TOEFL, TSE, GMAT, and
GRE. Students may register for the locally administered
SPEAK test with the Academic Spoken English Office,
1349 Norman Hall.
GENERAL REGULATIONS / 7
HANDICAPPED STUDENTS
The University of Florida does not discriminate on the
basis of handicap in the recruitment and admission of
students, in the recruitment and employment of faculty
and staff, or in the operation of any of its programs and
activities, as specified by federal laws and regulations.
The designated coordinator for compliance with Section
504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, is
KennethJ. Osfield, Assistant Dean for Student Services, P-
202 Marshall Criser Student Services Center, 392-1261.
The Office of Student Services provides assistance for
disabled students. Services are varied depending on indi-
vidual needs and include, but are not limited to, special
campus orientation, registration assistance, help in secur-
ing auxiliary learning aids, and assistance in general
University activities. Handicapped students are encour-
aged to contact this office.
CONDITIONAL ADMISSION
Students who are not eligible for direct admission may
be granted conditional admission to the Graduate School.
Students may be granted conditional admission to defer
final admission decisions until requisite examination scores
or final grade records are available. Students may also be
granted conditional admission to ascertain their ability to
pursue graduate work at the University of Florida if
previous grade records or Graduate Record Examination
scores are on the borderline of acceptability or when
specific prerequisite courses are required.
Students granted conditional admission should be no-
tified by the department of the conditions under which
they are admitted. When these conditions have been
satisfied, the department must notify the student in writ-
ing, 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-). Postbacca-
laureate enrollment is offered for the following reasons:
(1) to validate undergraduate records from nonaccredited
and unevaluated colleges; (2) to provide a means for
students not seeking a graduate degree to enroll in
courses-included in this category would be students
who change their professional goals or wish to expand
their academic backgrounds; and (3) to 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 subsequently
admitted to the Graduate School. By petition in clearly
justified cases and in conformance with regulations on
courses and credit, it is possible to transfer up to but no
more than two courses totaling six to eight semester hours
of course work earned with a grade of A, B+, or B.
Students in the College of Education who desire post-
baccalaureate classification to obtain teacher certifica-
tion must provide the college with a clear statement of
certification goals as a part of the requirements for admis-
sion. 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 Administra-
tive Code, may not pursue graduate degrees from this
institution. Exceptions are made for the Florida Coopera-
tive Extension Service (IFAS) county personnel, the faculty
of the P. K. Yonge Laboratory School, and University
Libraries faculty.
Under certain restrictions established by the Graduate
Council, persons holding nontenure- or nonpermanent-
status-accruing titles may pursue nonthesis master's de-
grees 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 University.
STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM
PROGRAMS
Traveling Scholar Program.-This program makes the
entire State University System graduate curriculum avail-
able to University of Florida graduate students. A course
or research activity not offered on this campus, taken
under the auspices of the Traveling Scholar Program at
another SUS university, will count as credit at the Univer-
sity of Florida if approved by the graduate coordinator or
the supervisory committee chair and the Dean of the
Graduate School. Traveling scholars are normally limited
to one term on the campus of the host university. The
deans of graduate schools of the state universities are the
coordinators of the program, and interested students
should contact the Graduate Student Records Office, 288
Grinter Hall.
Cooperative Degree Programs.-In certain degree pro-
grams, faculty from other universities in the State Univer-
sity System hold graduate faculty status at the University
of Florida. In those approved areas, the intellectual re-
sources of these graduate faculty members are available
to students at the University of Florida.
GENERAL REGULATIONS
It is the responsibility of the graduate student to
become informed and to observe all regulations and
procedures required by the program the student is pur-
suing. The student must be familiar with those sections of
the Graduate Catalog that outline general regulations and
requirements, specific degree program requirements, and
/
8/GENERAL INFORMATION
the offerings and requirements 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 Catalog must be approved by the Dean of the
Graduate School.
After admission to the Graduate School, but before the
first registration, the student should consult the college
and/or the graduate coordinator in the major department
concerning courses and degree requirements, deficien-
cies 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. Once a
supervisory committee has been appointed, registration
approval should be the responsibility of the chair.
CONFIDENTIALITY OF STUDENT
RECORDS
The University of Florida assures the confidentiality of
student educational records in accordance with the State
University System rules, state statutes, and the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (known as the
Buckley Amendment).
Information which may be released to the public on any
student is the name; class, college, and major; dates of
attendance; degrees) earned; awards received; local and
permanent address; and telephone number.
In general, a present or former student has the right to
personally review his or her own educational records for
information and to ascertain the accuracy of these rec-
ords. Parents of dependent students, as defined by the
Internal Revenue Service, have these same rights. A photo
I.D. or other equivalent documentation or personal recog-
nition 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 con-
duct code is printed in the Undergraduate Catalog.
STUDY LOADS
The University of Florida operates on a semester system
consisting of two 16-week periods and two 6-week sum-
mer terms. A.credit under the semester system is equal to
1.5 quarter credits.
Minimum registration for full-time graduate students,
including trainees and fellows, is 12 credits. The mini-
mum registration requirement is reduced for those stu-
dents who are graduate assistants. Guidelines for mini-
mum registration for students on appointment are pro-
vided in the Graduate Student Handbook and the Gradu-
ate Council Policy Manual for Coordinators, as well as in
the Financial Aid section of this Catalog.
Full-time students, not on appointment, must register
for a minimum of 12 credits. Part-time status may be
approved by the graduate coordinator or student's adviser
for students who are not pursuing a degree on a full-time
basis. Such exceptions must be clearly justified and the
approved registration must be commensurate with the use
of University facilities and faculty time.
The minimum study load for students not on assistant-
ship is three credits during Fall and Spring Semesters and
two for Summer.
COURSES AND CREDITS
Undergraduate courses (1000-2999) may not be used
as any part of the graduate degree requirements, including
the requirement for a period of concentrated study. Un-
dergraduate courses (3000-4999), outside the major de-
partment, may be used for support course work when
taken as part of an approved graduate program.
Courses numbered 5000 and above are limited to
graduate students, with the exception described under
Undergraduate Registration in Graduate Courses. Courses
numbered 7000 and above are designed primarily for
advanced graduate students.
No more than five hours each of 6910 (Supervised
Research) and 6940 (Supervised Teaching) may be taken
by a graduate student at the University of Florida.
A complete list of approved graduate courses appears
in the section of this Catalogentitled Fields of Instruction.
Departments reserve the right to decide which of these
graduate courses will be offered in a given semester and
the departments should be consulted concerning avail-
able courses.
Generally speaking graduate courses may not be re-
peated for credit. However, there is no limit on courses
numbered 6971, 6972, 6979, 7979, and 7980. Other
courses that may be repeated for credit are designated by
max: immediately following the semester credit designa-
tion.
Graduate students must conform to the Registrar's
deadline fordrops. However, under certain circumstances,
substitutions of courses, if approved by the Graduate
School, are permitted after the Registrar's deadline.
Correspondence Work.-No courses taken by corre-
spondence may be used for graduate credit.
Professional Work.-No courses from a professional
curriculum (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.
GRADES
The only passing grades for graduate students are A, B+,
B, C+, C, and S. Grades ofC+ 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 used in calculating the grade-point average.
Grades of S and U are the only grades awarded in
courses numbered 6910 (Supervised Research), 6940
(Supervised Teaching), 6971 (Master's Research), 6972
(Engineer's Research), 6973 (Individual Project), 7979
(Advanced Research), and 7980 (Doctoral Research).
Additional courses for which S and U grades apply are
noted in the departmental offerings. With the exception of
those courses listed in the Graduate Catalog, no course
taken for an S/U grade may be used to satisfy the minimum
requirements for a graduate degree.
GENERAL REGULATIONS/9
Deferred Grade H.-The grade of H is nota substitute
for a grade of S, U, or I. Courses for which H grades are
appropriate mustbe so noted in their catalog descriptions,
and must be approved by the Graduate Curriculum Com-
mittee and the Graduate School. This grade may be used
only in special situations where the expected unit of work
may be developed over a period of time greater than a
single term.
Incomplete Grades.-Gradesof I (incomplete) received
duringthe preceding semester should be removed as soon
as possible. Grades of I carry no quality points and lower
the overall grade-point average.
All grades of H and I must be removed prior to the
award of a graduate degree.
UNDERGRADUATE REGISTRATION IN
GRADUATE COURSES
With the permission of the instructor and the college
concerned, an undergraduate student at the University of
Florida may enroll in graduate-level courses (5000 and
6000 level) if the student has senior standing and an
upper-division grade-point average of at least 3.0. After a
student has been accepted in the Graduate School, up to
six hours of graduate-level courses earned with a grade of
A, B+, or B taken under this provision may be applied
toward a graduate degree at the University of Florida
provided credit for.the course has not been used for an
undergraduate degree and provided the transfer is ap-
proved by the department and made as soon as the student
is admitted to a graduate program.
CONCURRENT GRADUATE PROGRAMS
A graduate studentwhowishes to pursue degrees in two
programs concurrently must have the written approval of
the chairperson of each department involved and the
Dean of the Graduate School. Any student interested in
pursuing concurrent degrees should discuss the proposed
study with the Graduate School's Student Records staff
prior to applying for the programs. If the request is
approved, the student must be officially admitted to both
programs through regular procedures. If the student is
approved to pursue two master's programs, no more than
six hours of course work from one degree program may be
applied toward meeting the requirements for the second
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 education
and training of veterans under all public laws in effect; i.e.,
Chapter 31, Title 38, U.S. Code (Disabled Veterans);
Chapter 34, Title 38, U.S. Code (Cold-War G.I. Bill); and
Chapter 35, Title 38, U.S. Code (Children of Deceased or
Disabled Veterans).
Students who may be eligible for educational benefits
under any Veterans Administration program are urged to
contact the Veterans Affairs Office, as soon as they are
accepted for admission.
Students expecting to receive benefits under one of
these programs must file an application with the Office of
the Registrar. No certification can be made until the
application is on file. Benefits are determined by the
Veterans Administration, and the University certifies ac-
cording to these rules and regulations.
The Registrar's Office maintains students' academic
records. A progress report is sent to each student at the end
of the term indicating grades, cumulative hours, grade
points, etc.
UNSATISFACTORY SCHOLARSHIP
Any graduate student may be denied further registration
in the University or in a graduate program should scholas-
tic performance or progress toward completion of the
planned program become unsatisfactory to the depart-
ment, college, or Dean of the Graduate School. Failure to
maintain a B average in all work attempted is, by defini-
tion, unsatisfactory scholarship.
CHANGE OF MAJOR OR COLLEGE
A graduate student who wishes to change major or
college must make formal application through the Office
of the Registrar and receive approval of the appropriate
department chairperson, college dean, and the Dean of
the Graduate School. Deadline dates for such changes as
specified in the current University Calendar must be met.
FOREIGN LANGUAGE EXAMINATION
A foreign language examination is not required for all
degree programs and the student should contact the
graduate coordinator in the appropriate department for
specific information regarding any requirement of a for-
eign language.
If a department requires that a student meet the foreign
language requirement by satisfactory performance on the
Graduate School Foreign Language Tests (GSFLT) in
French, Spanish, or German, the student should contact
the Office of Instructional Resources, 1012 Turlington
Hall, for applications and payments of fees. The examina-
tion times and dates are listed in the University Calendar.
Educational Testing Service (ETS) no longer administers
this examination 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 responsible for the
administration of thewritten and oral qualifying examina-
tions as well as the final oral examination for the defense
of the thesis, project, or dissertation. All members of the
supervisory committee must sign the appropriate forms,
including the signature pages, in order for the student to
satisfy the requirements of the examination.
Qualifying and final examinations for graduate stu-
dents are to be held on the University of Florida campus.
Exceptions to this policy are made only for certain gradu-
ate students whose examinations are administered at the
10/GENERAL INFORMATION
Agricultural Research and Educational Centers or on the
campuses of the universities in the State University System
that are approved for cooperative graduate degree pro-
grams. These exceptions 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 University
Calendar and by the college, school, or department.
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 Thesesfrom the Graduate School Edito-
rial Office and should request a records check in the
Graduate Records Office to make certain that all require-
ments 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/
hergraduate degree. Thesis students must be registered for
three hours of 6971 and doctoral students for three hours
of 7980. Minimum registration for students taking their
final examinations orgraduating duringthe summerterms
is two hours of appropriate credit as outlined above.
Students must also apply for the degree at the beginning
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 which can
be found under the descriptions of the several degrees):
1. The candidate must have completed all course
requirements, including an internship or practicum if
required, in the major and 'inor fields, observing time
limits, limitations on transfer credit, on nonresident work,
and on level of course work.
2. The candidate must have a grade average of B or
higher in the major and in all work attempted in the

Graduates who are to receive advanced degrees are
urged to attend Commencement in order to accept per-
sonally the honor indicated by the appropriate hood. The
student may arrange through the University Bookstore for
the proper academic attire to be worn at Commencement.
REQUIREMENTS FOR
MASTER'S DEGREES
GENERAL REGULATIONS
The following regulations represent those of the Gradu-
ate School. Colleges and departments may have addi-
tional regulations beyond those stated below. Unless
otherwise indicated in the following sections concerning
master's degrees, these general regulations apply to all
master's degree programs at the University.
Course Requirements.-Graduate credit is awarded
for courses numbered 5000 and above. The work in the
major field must be in courses numbered 5000 or above.
For work outside the major, courses numbered 3000 or
above may be taken provided they are part of an approved
plan of study. The program of course work for a master's
degree must be approved by the student's adviser, super-
visory committee, or faculty representative of the depart-
ment. No more than six credits from a previous master's
degree program may be applied toward a second master's
degree. These credits are applied only with the written
approval of the Dean of the Graduate School.
If a minor is chosen, at least six credits of work are
required in the minor field. Two six-credit minors may be
taken with departmental permission. Minor work must be
in a department other than the major; in special cases this
requirement may be modified, but only with the written
permission of the Dean of the Graduate School. A GPA
of 3.0 is required for minor credit.
Degree Requirements.-Unless otherwise specified,
for any master's degree, the student must earn a minimum
of 30 credits as a graduate student at the University of
Florida, of which no more than two courses, totaling six
to eight hours, earned with a grade of A, B+, or B may be
transferred from institutions approved for this purpose by
the Dean of the Graduate School.
Transfer of Credit.-Only graduate (5000-7999) level
work to the extent of two courses, totaling six to eight
semester hours, earned with a grade of A, B+, or B may be
transferred from an institution approved by the Graduate
School or from postbaccalaureate work at the University
of Florida. Credits transferred from other universities will
be applied toward meeting the degree requirements but
the grades earned will not be computed in the student's
grade-point average. Acceptance of transfer of credit
requires approval of the student's supervisory committee
and the Dean of the Graduate School.
Petitions for transfer of credit for a master's degree must
be made during the student's firstterm of enrollment in the
Graduate School.
Nonresident or extension work taken at another institu-
tion may not be transferred to the University of Florida for
MASTER'S DEGREES / 11
graduate credit. No courses taken by correspondence or
as part of a professional degree may be used toward a
graduate degree.
Supervisory Committee.-The student's supervisory
committee should be appointed as soon as possible after
the student has been admitted to the Graduate School but
in no case later than the second semester of graduate
study.
Supervisory committees for graduate degree programs
are nominated by the representative department chairper-
son, approved by the college dean, and appointed by the
Dean of the Graduate School. Only members of the
graduate faculty may be appointed to supervisory com-
mittees. The Dean of the Graduate School is an ex-officio
member of all supervisory committees.
The supervisory committee for a master's degree with a
thesis must consist of at least two members selected from
the graduate faculty. The supervisory committee for a
master's degree without a thesis may consist of one
member of the graduate faculty who advises the student
and oversees the program. If a minor is designated, the
committee must include one graduate faculty member
from the minor department.
Language Requirements.-(1) The requirement of a
reading knowledge of a foreign language is at the discre-
tion of the department. The foreign language requirement
varies from department to department and the student
should check with the appropriate department for specific
information. (2) The ability to use the English language
correctly and effectively, as judged by the supervisory
committee, is required of all candidates.
Examination.-A final comprehensive examination
must be passed by the candidate. This examination, held
on campus with all participants present, will cover at least
the candidate's field of concentration, and in no case may
it be scheduled earlier than the term preceding the semes-
ter in which the degree is to be conferred.
Time Limitation.-All work, including transferred credit,
counted toward the master's degree must be completed
during the seven years immediately preceding the date on
which the degree is awarded.
MASTER OF ARTS AND MASTER OF
SCIENCE
The requirements for the Master of Arts and the Master
of Science degrees also apply to the following degrees,
except as they are individually described hereafter: Mas-
ter of Arts in Education,'Master of Arts in Mass Communi-
cation, Master of Science in Building Construction, Mas-
ter of Science in Health Science Education, Master of
Science in Pharmacy, Master of Science in Recreational
Studies, and Master of Science in Statistics.
Course Requirements.-The minimum course work
required for a master's degree with thesis is 30 credits
including up to 6 hours of the research course numbered
6971. All students seeking a master's degree with thesis
must register for an appropriate number of hours in 6971.
The Graduate School requirement for a Master of Arts
or Master of Science taken with a nonthesis option is at
least 32 letter-graded credits. Many departments require
more. S/U graded courses do not count in meeting the
minimum credit requirements for a nonthesis option.
Students pursuing the nonthesis option may not use the
course numbered 6971.
For both nonthesis option and thesis programs, at least
half the required credits, exclusive of 6971, must be in a
field of study designated the major. One or two minors of
at least six credits each may be taken, but a minor is not
required by the Graduate School. Minor work must be in
a department other than the major. The work in the major
field must be in courses numbered 5000 or above. For
work outside the major, courses numbered 3000 or above
may be taken.
Engineering students, working at off-campus centers,
who are pursuing a nonthesis option Master of Science
degree, must take half the course work from full-time
University of Florida faculty members and are required to
pass a comprehensive written examination administered
on the University of Florida campus by an examining
committee recommended by the Dean of the College of
Engineering and appointed by the Dean of the Graduate
School.
Thesis.-Candidates for the master's degree with thesis
must prepare and present theses (or equivalent in creative
work) acceptable to their supervisory committees and the
Graduate School. The candidate should consultthe Gradu-
ate School Editorial Office for instructions concerning the
form of the thesis.'The University Calendar specifies final
dates for submitting the original copy of the thesis to the
Graduate School. The college copy should also be sub-
mitted to the college or to the library by the specified date.
After the thesis is accepted, these two copies will be
permanently bound and deposited in the University Li-
braries.
Change from Thesis to Nonthesis Option.-A student
who wishes to change from the thesis to the nonthesis
option for the master's degree must obtain the permission
of the supervisory committee to make such a change. This
permission must be forwarded to the Graduate School at
least one full semester prior to the intended date of
graduation. The candidate must meet all the requirements
of the nonthesis option as specified above. A maximum of
three credits earned with a grade of S in 6971 (Master's
Research) can be counted toward the degree require-
ments only if converted to credit as A, B+, or B in
Individual Work. The supervisory committee must indi-
cate that the work was productive in and by itself and
warrants credit as a special problem or special topic
course.
Supervisory Committee.-The student's supervisory
committee should be appointed as soon as possible after
the student has been admitted to the Graduate School but
in no case later than the end of the second semester of
study. The duties of the supervisory committee are to
advise the student, to check on the student's qualifications
and progress, to supervise the preparation of the thesis,
and to conduct the final examination.
Final Comprehensive Examination.-The student who
elects the nonthesis option must pass a comprehensive
written examination on the major field of study and on the
minor if a minor is designated. This comprehensive ex-
amination must be taken within six months of the date the
degree is to be awarded.
Final Examination.-When the student's course work is
substantially completed, and the thesis is in final form, the
supervisory committee is required to examine the student
orally or in writing on (1) the thesis, (2) the major subjects,
(3) the minor or minors, and (4) matters of a general nature
pertaining to the field of study. A written announcement
of the examination must be sent to the Dean of the
Graduate School.
12 /GENERAL INFORMATION
At least three faculty members and the candidate must
be present at the final examination. At the time of the
examination, all committee members should sign the
signature pages and the Final Examination Report. These
may be retained by the supervisory chair until acceptable
completion of corrections. This examination may not be
scheduled earlier than the semester preceding the term
the degree is to be conferred.
MASTER OF ARTS IN TEACHING AND
MASTER OF SCIENCE IN TEACHING
These degrees are designed for graduate students who
intend to teach in junior or four year colleges. Require-
ments for admission are the same as those for the regular
M.A. and M.S. degrees in the various colleges, and
programs leading to the M.A.T. and M.S.T. may, with
proper approval, be incorporated into programs leading
to the Ph.D.
The requirements for the degrees are as follows:
1. A reading knowledge of one foreign language if
required by the student's major department.
2. Satisfactory completion of at least 36 credits while
registered as a graduate student, with work distributed as
follows:
a. At least 18 credits in the major (all work in the
major field must be 5000 level or higher) and 6
credits in the minor.
b. Six credits in a departmental internship in teach-
ing (6943-Internship in College Teaching).
Three years of successful teaching experience in
a state certified school may be substituted for the
internship requirement, and credits thus made
available may be used for further work in the
major, the minor, or in education.
c. At least one course in each of the following:
social foundations of education, psychological
foundations of education, and community col-
lege curriculum. These courses may be used to
comprise a minor.
3. Off-Campus Work:A minimum of 8-16 credits (atthe
department's discretion), including registration for at least
6 credit hours in a single semester, must be earned on the
Gainesville campus. Beyond that, credits, including those
at the 5000 and 6000 level, earned in courses offered off-
campus by the University of Florida which have been
approved by the Graduate School shall be accepted,
provided they are appropriate to the student's degree
program as determined by the supervisory committee.
4. At the completion of this degree, the student, for
certification purposes, must present from the undergradu-
ate and graduate degree programs no fewer than 36
semester credits in the major field.
5. A final comprehensive examination, either written,
oral, or both, must be passed by the candidate. This
examination, taken on campus, will cover the field of
concentration and the minor.
MASTER OF ACCOUNTING
The Master of Accounting (M.Acc.) is the professional
degree for students seeking careers in public accounting,
business organizations, and government. The M.Acc.
program offers specializations in each of the three areas of
auditing/financial accounting, management accounting,
accounting systems, and taxation.
The recommended curriculum to prepare for a profes-
sional career in accounting is the 3/2 five-year program
with a joint awarding of the Bachelor of Science in
Accounting and the Master of Accounting upon satisfac-
tory completion of the 156-hour program. The entry point
into the 3/2 is the beginning of the senior year.
Students who have already completed an undergradu-
ate degree in accounting may enter the one-year M.Acc.
program which requires satisfactory completion of 34
hours of course work. A minimum of 16 semester credits
must be in graduate level accounting courses. At least 20
of the 34 semester credits must be in graduate level
courses. Courses below the graduate level must have the
approval of the major adviser. A final comprehensive
examination, taken on campus, is required of all students.
Additional requirements are listed under the General
Regulations section for all master's degrees.
M.Acc./J.D. Program.-This joint program culminates
in both the Juris Doctor degree awarded by the College of

required:two six-credit minors may be taken. In addition,
a multidisciplinary minor in departments other than the
major may be authorized by the supervisory committee or
program adviser. Courses numbered 3000 and above may
be taken for the minor.
Degree Credit.-In order to qualify for course work
toward the Master of Engineering degree, a student must
first be admitted to the Graduate School at the University
of Florida. The amount of course work toward this degree
that may be taken at an off-campus center will depend
upon the student's individual program and the courses
provided through the center.
Examinations.-A student seeking the Master of Engi-
neering degree with or without thesis is required to pass
a comprehensive oral and/or written examination, ad-
ministered on campus with all participants present, at the
completion of the course work. An off-campus student
who is a candidate for a nonthesis degree must take half
the course work from full-time University of Florida
faculty members and is required to pass a comprehensive
written examination administered on the University of
Florida campus by an examining committee 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 student's

tics degree are 36, including no fewer than 20 graduate
credits in the major field. Courses in the degree program
will be selected in consultation with the major adviser and
approved by the student's supervisory committee. The-
student will be required to pass two examinations: (1) a
comprehensive written examination, given by a commit-
tee designated for the purpose, on material covered in
statistics courses for first year graduate students and (2) a
final oral examination given by the student's supervisory
committee, covering the entire field of study. Both exami-
nations must be taken on campus.
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 master's degree
should be the Ph.D. or the Engineer degree.
Admission to the Program.-To be admitted to the
program, students must have completed a master's degree
in engineering 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 Engineer. The
master's degree must be based on the candidate having a
bachelor's degree in engineering from an ABET-accred-
ited curriculum or having taken sufficient 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 Uni-
versity 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 committee
consisting of at least three members of the graduate
faculty. Two members are selected from the majordepart-
ment and at least one from a supporting department. In
addition, every effort should be made to have a represen-
tative from industry as an external adviser for the student's
program.
This committee should be appointed as soon as pos-
sible after-the student has been admitted to the Graduate
School but, in no case, later than the end of the second
semester of study.
This committee will inform the studentof all regulations
pertaining to the degree program. The committee 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 supervi-
sory committees and should be notified in writing in
advance of all committee meetings. 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 examination 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 register for from 6 to 12
semester credit hours of thesis research in a course
numbered 6972.
Thesis.-The thesis should represent performance at a
level above that ordinarily associated with the master's
degree. It should clearly be an original contribution; this
may take the form of scientific research, a design project,
ED.S. AND ED.D. DEGREE/ 19
or an industrial project approved by the supervisory
committee. Work on the thesis may be conducted in an
industrial or governmental laboratory under conditions
stipulated by the supervisory committee.
Final Examination.-After the student has completed
all work on the plan of study, the supervisory committee
conducts a final comprehensive oral and/or written ex-
amination, which also involves a defense of the thesis if
one is included in the program. This examination must be
taken on campus with all participants present.
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE
ED.S. AND ED.D.
The College of Education offers programs leading to the
degrees Specialist in Education, Doctor of Education, and
Doctor of Philosophy.
The Specialist in Education degree is awarded for a two-
year program of graduate study. The Doctor of Education
degree requires writing a doctoral dissertation. Foreign
languages are not required. The Doctor of Philosophy
degree in the College of Education is described under
Requirements for the Ph.D.
In cooperation with the Graduate Studies Office, Col-
lege of Education, programs leading to these degrees are
administered through the individual departments in the
College of Education. It is the responsibility of the
department's chairperson to carry out the policies of the
Graduate School and the graduate committee of the
College of Education. More specific information aboutthe
various programs and departmental requirements may be
obtained from the individual departments. General infor-
mation or assistance is available through the Office of
Student Services in Education, Room 134, Norman Hall.
Admission to the Ed.S., Ed.D., and Ph.D. programs is
open only to persons who have met the following require-
ments:
1. Achieved at least the minimum upper-division un-
dergraduate grade average and verbal-quantitative total
score on the General Test of the Graduate Record Exami-
nation necessary for admission to the Graduate School,
University of Florida.
2. Provided evidence of good scholarship for previous
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 professional
course work in education. Applicants for admission 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 admission and full admission
when they have completed the required 36 credits.
4. Presented a record of successful professional experi-
ence, the appropriateness of which will be determined by
the instructional department passing on the applicant's
qualifications for admission. In some instances, depart-
ments may admit students with the understanding that
further experience maybe required before the studentwill
be recommended for the degree.
The judgment about admission of an individual is made
by the major department, the College of Education, and
the Graduate School, University of Florida.
SPECIALIST IN EDUCATION
Primary emphasis in an Ed.S. program is placed on the
development of the competencies needed for a specific
job. Programs are available in the various areas of concen-
tration within the Departments of Counselor Education,
Educational Leadership, Foundations of Education, In-
struction and Curriculum, and Special Education.
To study for this degree, the student must apply and be
admitted to the Graduate School of the University of
Florida. All work for the degree, including transferred
credit, must be completed during the seven years imme-
diately preceding the date on which thedegree isawarded.
The Ed.S. degree is awarded at the completion of a
planned program with a minimum of 72 credits beyond
the bachelor's degree or a minimum of 36 credits beyond
the master's degree. All credits accepted for the program
must contribute to the unity and the stated objective of the
total program. Students are tested (in no case earlier than
six months prior to receipt of degree) in both a written and
an oral examination, given on 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 relevant to the profes-
sional role for which the student is preparing.
Students who enter the program with an appropriate
master's degree from another accredited institution 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 Uni-
versity 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 transferred to
the program. Six credits may be transferred from another
institution of the State University System or from any
institution offering a doctoral degree; however, credit
transferred from another institution reduces proportion-
ately the credit transferred from University of Florida off-
campus courses.
Students who enter the program with a bachelor's
degree only must, during the 72-credit program, satisfy
these requirements in addition to the requirements of the
Master of Education degree or its equivalent.
DOCTOR OF EDUCATION
A doctoral candidate is expected to achieve under-
standing of the broad field of education and competence
in an area of specialization. Programs are available in the
various areas of concentration within the Departments of
Counselor Education, Educational Leadership, Founda-
tions of Education, Instruction and Curriculum, and Spe-
cial Education.
Admission to a program of work leading to the degree
of Doctor of Education requires admission to the Gradu-
ate School.
A minimum of 90 credits beyond the bachelor's degree
is required for the doctoral degree. Master's degrees
outside the major require departmental petition to the
Dean of the Graduate School. All master's degrees counted
in the 90-hour minimum must have been earned within
the last seven years. No more than 30 hours of a master's
20 / GENERAL INFORMATION
degree from another institution will be transferred to a
doctoral program. All courses beyond the master's degree
taken at another institution, to be applied toward the
Doctor of Education degree, must be taken at an institu-
tion offering the doctoral degree and must be approved for
graduate credit by the Graduate School of the University
of Florida. ,1
Minors.-Minor work or work in cognate fields is
required. Minor work may be completed in any depart-
ment, other than the major department, approved for
master's or doctoral degree programs as listed in the
Catalog. If one minor is selected, at least 15 credits of work
therein will be required; if two minors are chosen, one
minor must include at least 12 credits of course work, the
other at least 5 credits. At least 12 credits counted in a
minor must be at the 5000 level or higher.
Courses in physical education approved by the College
of Health and Human Performance and the Graduate
School as subject matter or content courses may be used
in the cognate work or as a minor.
In lieu of a minor or minors, the candidate may present
a suitable program of no fewer than 15 credits of cognate
work in at least two departments. If two fields are in-
cluded, there shall be no fewer than five credits in each
field. If three or more fields are included, the five credit
requirement for each field does not apply. This program
must have the approval of the student's supervisory com-
mittee. The College of Education faculty will expect the
candidate to be prepared to answer questions, at the time
of the oral examination, in any of the areas chosen.
Admission to Candidacy.-Admission to candidacy for
the degree of Doctor of Education requires successful
completion of the qualifying examinations and approval
of a dissertation topic. Recommendation to the Graduate
School for admission to candidacy is based on the action
of the supervisory committee. Application for admission
to candidacy should be made as soon as the qualifying
examination has been passed and a dissertation topic has
been approved by the student's supervisory committee.
Qualifying Examination.-The applicant is recom-
mended for the qualifying examination by the supervisory
committee after completion of sufficient course work.
The examination, administered on campus by the
student's major department, consists of (1) a general
section, (2) a field of specialization section, (3) examina-
tion in the minor or minors, where involved, and (4) an
oral examination conducted by the applicant's supervi-
sory committee.
At least five faculty must be present for the oral portion
of the examination; however, only members of the super-
visory 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 ap-
proved by the Graduate School. At least one semester of
additional preparation is considered essential before re-
examination.
Research Preparation Requirement.-EDF 7486 (Meth-
ods of Educational Research) or its equivalent, for which
a basic course in statistics is a prerequisite, and one other
approved course are minimum requirements in all pro-
grams. Additional requirements vary with the department
and with the student's plans for doctoral research.
For information relating to Concentrated Period of
Study, the Supervisory Committee, Time Lapse, the Dis-
sertation, and the Final Examination, the student is re-
ferred to the material presented under the heading Re-
quirements for the Ph.D. These statements are applicable
to both degrees.
REQUIREMENTS FOR
THE PH.D.
Doctoral study consists of the independent mastery of
a field of knowledge and the successful pursuit of re-
search. Consequently, doctoral programs are more flex-
ible 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 student's entire supervisory
committee, and that it should include an appropriate
number of credit hours of doctoral research.
COURSE REQUIREMENTS
The course requirements for doctoral degrees vary from
field to field and from student to student. If a student holds
a master's degree in a discipline different from the doc-
toral program, the master's workwill not be counted in the
program unless the department petitions the Dean of the
Graduate School. All master's degrees counted in the 90-
hour minimum must have been earned in the last seven
years. No more than 30 hours of a master's degree from
another institution will be transferred to a doctoral pro-
gram. All courses beyond the master's degree taken at
another u n diversity, to be applied to the Ph.D. degree, must
be taken at an institution offering the doctoral degree and
must be approved for graduate credit by the Graduate
School of the University of Florida. The student's supervi-
sory committee has the responsibility for recommending
individual courses of study for each doctoral student.
Major.-The student working for the Ph.D. must elect
to do the major work in a department or interdisciplinary
unit specifically 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 commit-
tee, the student may choose one or more minor fields.
Minor work may be completed in any department, other
than the major department, approved for master's or
doctoral degree programs as listed in this Catalog. The
collective grade for courses included in a minor must be
B or higher.
If one minor is chosen, the representative of the minor
department on the supervisory committee shall suggest
from 12 to 24 credits (at least 12 credits must be at the
5000 level or higher) as preparation for a qualifying
examination. A part of this background may have been
acquired in the master's program. If two minors are
chosen, each must include at least eight credits. Compe-
tence in the minor area may be demonstrated through a
written examination conducted by the minor department
or through the oral qualifying examination.
Course work in the minor at the doctoral level need not
be restricted to the courses of one department, provided
PH.D. DEGREE/21
that the minor has a clearly stated objective and that the
combination of courses representing the minor shall be
approved by the Graduate School. This procedure is not
required for a departmental minor.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE
A doctoral student who will not be registered at the
University of Florida for a period of more than one
semester must request written permission from his/her
faculty adviser for a leave of absence for a designated
period of time.
SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE
Supervisory committees are nominated by the depart-
ment chairperson, approved by the dean of the college
concerned, and appointed by the Dean of the Graduate
School. The committee should be appointed as soon as
possible after the student has begun doctoral work and in
general no later than the end of the second semester of
equivalent full-time study. The Dean of the Graduate
School is an ex-officio member of all supervisory commit-
tees and should be notified in writing well in advance of
all examinations conducted by such committees.
Duties and Responsibilities.-Duties of the supervisory
committee follow:
1. To inform the student of all regulations governing the
degree sought. It should be noted, however, that this does
not absolve the student from the responsibility of inform-
ing himself/herself concerning these regulations. (See
Student Responsibility.)
2. To meet immediately after appointment to reviewthe
qualifications of the student and to discuss and approve a
program of study.
3. To meet to discuss and approve the proposed disser-
tation project and the plans for carrying it out.
4. To give the student a yearly letter of evaluation in
addition to the S/U grades awarded for the research
courses 7979 and 7980. The chair should write this letter
after consultation with the supervisory committee.
5. 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 examination. This examination
must be given on campus.
6. To meet when the work on the dissertation is at least
one-half completed to review procedure, progress, and
expected results and to make suggestions for completion.
7. To meet on campus when the dissertation is com-
pleted and conduct the final oral examination to assure
that the dissertation is a piece of original research and a
contribution to knowledge. No fewer than five faculty
members, including all members of the supervisory com-
mittee, plus the graduate dean's representative, shall be
present with the candidate for this examination. Only
members of the official supervisory committee may sign
the dissertation. The dissertation mustbeapproved unani-
mously by the official supervisory committee.
Membership.-The supervisory committee for a candi-
date for the doctoral degree shall consist of no fewer than
four members selected from the graduate faculty. At least
two members will be from the department recommending
the degree, and at least one member will be drawn from
a different educational discipline. The chairperson and at
least one additional member of the committee will be
members of the Doctoral Research Faculty of the 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 must be represented on the supervisory committee.
The Graduate Council desires each supervisory com-
mittee to function as a University committee, as con-
trasted with a departmental committee, in order to bring
University-wide standards to bear upon the various doc-
toral degrees.
A cochairperson may be appointed to serve during a
planned absence of the chairperson.
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 begin-
ning the study of a language. See the current Schedule of
Courses for the languages in which this assistance is
available.
The ability to use the English language correctly and
effectively, as judged by the supervisory committee, is
required of all candidates.
PERIOD OF CONCENTRATED STUDY
Candidates for the doctoral degree must satisfy the
minimum requirements for a period of concentrated
study, beyond the first 30 hours counted toward the
doctoral program, by registering for (1) 30 semester hours
in one calendar year, or (2) 32 semester hours in no more
than four semesters within a period of two calendar years
on the University of Florida campus. Courses at the 1000
or 2000 level will not be counted toward the requirement
for concentrated study.
Candidates in the College of Agriculture may do their
research at certain branch stations of the University of
Florida Agricultural Experiment Station where adequate
faculty 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, prepared and evaluated by the full
supervisory committee or the major and minor depart-
ments, is both written and oral and covers the major and
minor subjects. At least five faculty members, including
the supervisory committee, must be present with the
student atthe oral portion. The supervisory committee has
the responsibility at this time of deciding whether the
22 /GENERAL INFORMATION
student is qualified to continue work toward a Ph.D.
degree.
If a student fails the qualifying examination, the Gradu-
ate School must be notified. A re-examination may be
requested, but it must be recommended by the supervi-
sory committee and approved by the Graduate School. At
least one semester of additional preparation is considered
essential before re-examination.
Time Lapse.-Between the oral portion of the qualify-
ing examination and the date of the degree there must be
a minimum of two semesters. The semester in which the
qualifying examination is passed is counted, provided
that the examination occurs before the midpoint of the
term.
ADMISSION TO CANDIDACY
A graduate studentdoes not become a candidate for the
Ph.D. degree until granted formal admission to candi-
dacy. Such admission requires the approval of the student's
supervisory committee, the department 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 opinion 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 student's supervisory committee. A student may
register for 7980 (Research for Dissertation) in the term he
or she is admitted to candidacy for a doctoral degree.
DISSERTATION
Every candidate for a doctoral degree is required to
prepare and present a dissertation that shows independ-
ent investigation and is acceptable in form and content to
the supervisory committee and to the Graduate School.
Dissertations must be written in English. The Dean of the
Graduate School may approve exceptions to this rule on
an individual basis for students majoring in German or
Romance languages and literatures.
Since all doctoral dissertations will be published by
microfilm, it is necessary that the work be of publishable
quality and that it be in a form suitable for publication.
The original copy of the dissertation must be presented
to the Dean of the Graduate School on or before the date
specified in the University Calendar. It must contain an
abstract and be accompanied by four unpaged separate
copies of the abstract, a letter of transmittal from the
supervisory chairperson, and all doctoral forms. After
corrections have been made, and no later than the speci-
fied formal submission date, the fully signed copy of the
dissertation, together with the signed Final Examination
Report, should be returned to the Graduate School. The
original copy of the dissertation is sent by the Graduate
School to the Library for microfilming and hardbinding. A
second copy, reproduced on required thesis paper, should
be delivered to the Library for hardbinding. The supervi-
sory chairperson and the candidate will each need a copy
and, if required, another should also be provided for the
departmental library.
Publication of Dissertation.-All candidates for the
Ph.D. and Ed.D. degrees are required to pay the sum of
$45 to University Financial Services, S113 Criser Hall, for
microfilming their dissertations, and to sign an agreement
authorizing publication by microfilm.
Copyright.-The candidate may choose to copyright
the microfilmed dissertation for a charge of $35 payable
by a certified or cashier's check or money order to
University Microfilms attached to the signed microfilm
agreement form. To assure receipt of the valuable Copy-
right Registration Certificate, candidates must give perma-
nent addresses through which they can always be reached.
GUIDELINES FOR RESTRICTION ON
RELEASE OF DISSERTATIONS
Research performed at the University can effectively
contribute to the education of our students and to the body
of knowledge that is our heritage only if the results of the
research are published freely and openly. Conflicts can
develop when it is in the interests of sponsors of university
research to restrict such publication. When such conflicts
arise, the University must decide what compromises it is
willing to accept, taking into account the relevant circum-
stances. The AAU guidelines contained herein were
adopted by the University of Florida Graduate Council on
January 19, 1989.
1. The recommendations of sponsors, which resultfrom
prepublication reviews of research results and which
affect subsequent publication of these results, should
be considered advisory rather than mandatory.
2. The maximum delay in publication allowed for pre-
reviews should not exceed three months.
3.There should be no additional delays in publication
beyond the pre-review. Timely submission of any
patent or copyright applications should be the result of
effective communication between investigators and
sponsors throughout the course of the project.
4. There should be no restriction on participation in
nonclassified sponsored research programs on the ba-
sis of citizenship.
5. Students should not be delayed in the final defense of
their dissertations by agreements involving publication
delays.
FINAL EXAMINATION
After submission of the dissertation and the completion
of all other prescribed work for the degree, but no earlier
than the term preceding the semester in which the degree
is conferred, the candidate will be given a final examina-
tion, oral or written or both, by the supervisory committee
meeting on campus. An announcement of the scheduled
examination and an abstract must be sent to the Dean of
the Graduate School 10 working days before the selected
date. At least five faculty members, including all supervi-
sory committee members, must be present with the can-
didate at the oral portion of this examination. The Dean of
the Graduate School will be represented by a member of
the Doctoral Research Faculty. At the time of the defense
all committee members should sign the signature pages
and all committee and attending faculty members should
sign the Final Examination Report. These may be retained
EXPENSES / 23
by the supervisory chairman until acceptable completion
of corrections.
Satisfactory performance on this examination and ad-
herenceto all Graduate School regulations outlined above
complete the requirements for the degree.
Time Limitation.-All work for the doctorate must be
completed within five calendar years after the qualifying
examination, or this examination must be repeated.
CERTIFICATION
Doctoral candidates who have completed all require-
ments for the degree, including satisfactory defense and
final acceptance of the dissertation, may request certifica-
tion to that effect prior to receipt of the degree. Certifica-
tion request forms, available in the Graduate School
Editorial Office, should be filled out by the candidate,
signed by the college dean, and returned to the Graduate
School for verification and processing.
EXPENSES
APPLICATION FEE
Each application for admission to the University must
be accompanied by an application fee of $15 through July
31, 1992. On or after August 1, 1992, the application fee
is $20. Application fees are nonrefundable. Further in-
structions will be found in the Admissions section of this
Catalog.
CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS-
FLORIDA OR NON-FLORIDA
(Section 6C-7.005 Florida Administrative Code.
(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.
(a) To be classified as a "resident for tuition pur-
poses," a person, or, if a dependent child, the child's
parent or parents or legal guardian, shall have established
legal residence in Florida and shall have maintained
physical presence in Florida for at least twelve (12)
months immediately prior to the first day of classes of the
term for which Florida residency is sought. A dependent
child is a person who may be claimed by his or her parent
or guardian as a dependent under the Federal Income Tax
Code. Every applicant for admission to a university shall
be required to make a statement as to the length of
residence in the state and, shall also establish his or her
presence, or, if a dependent child, the presence of his or
her parent or parents, in the state for the purpose of
maintaining a bona fide domicile in accordance with the
provisions of Section 240.1201 (2)(b), Florida Statutes.
(b) With respect to a dependent child, the legal
residence of such individual's parent or guardian 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 evidence of residency, age, and the general
circumstances 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 nonresidents
for tuition purposes, the domicile of a married person,
irrespective of sex, shall be determined in accordance
with the provisions of Section 240.1201(5), Florida Stat-
utes.
(d) Any nonresident person, irrespective of sex, who
marries a legal resident of this state or marries a person
who later becomes a legal resident, may, upon becoming
a legal resident of this state, accede to the benefit of the
spouse's immediately precedent duration as a legal resi-
dent 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 enrolled in
an institution of higher education in this state, loses
resident tuition status because the person, or, if a depend-
ent child, the parent or guardian, establishes 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 provi-
sions of Section 240.1201(8), Florida Statutes.
(g) The legal residence of a dependent child whose
parents are divorced, separated, or otherwise living apart
shall be deemed to be Florida if either parent is a legal
resident of Florida, regardless of which parent is entitled
to claim, and does in fact claim, the minor as a dependent
pursuant to federal individual income tax provisions.
(h) Any person who ceases to be enrolled at or
graduates from an institution of higher education while
classified as a resident for tuition purposes and who
subsequently abandons Florida domicile shall be permit-
ted to reenroll at an institution of higher education in this
state as a resident for tuition 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 dependents of
such member, shall be classified as residents for tuition
purposes.
(j) Full-time instructional and administrative person-
nel employed by state public schools, community col-
leges, and institutions of higher education, and the spouses
and dependent children of such individuals, shall be
classified as residents for tuition purposes.
(2) An individual shall not be classified as a resident for
tuition purposes and, thus, 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 university officials. In determin-
ing residence, the university shall require evidence such
as a voter registration, driver's license, automobile regis-
tration, location of bank account, rent receipts or any
other relevant materials as evidence that the applicant has
maintained 12 months' residence immediately prior to
qualification. To determine if the student is a dependent
child, the university shall require evidence such as copies
of the aforementioned documents. In addition, the univer-
sity may require a 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
24/GENERAL INFORMATION
present evidence of the spouse's legal residence with
certified copies of the aforementioned documents. "Resi-
dent student" classification shall also be construed to
include students to whom an Immigration Parolee card or
a Form 1-94 (Parole Edition) was issued at least one year
prior to the first day of classes for which resident student
status is sought, orwho have had their resident alien status
approved by the United States Immigration and Natural-
ization Service, or who hold an Immigration and Natural-
ization Form 1-151, 1-551 or a notice of an approved
adjustment of status application, or Cuban Nationals or
Vietnamese Refugees or other refugees or asylees so
designated by the United States Immigration and Natural-
ization Service who are considered as Resident Aliens, or
other legal aliens, provided such students meet the resi-
dency requirements stated above and comply with sub-
section (4) below. The burden of establishing facts which
justify classification of a student as a resident and
domiciliary entitled to "resident for tuition purposes"
registration rates ison 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 atthe institution
on a space available basis.
(b) "Domicile" shall denote a person's true, fixed,
and permanent home, and to which whenever the person
is absent the person has the intention of 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.
(4) In all applications for admission or registration at the
institution on a space available basis a "resident for tuition
purposes" applicant, or, if a dependent child, the parent
of the applicant, shall make and file with such application
a written statement, under oath, that the applicant is a
bona fide resident and domiciliary of the state of Florida,
entitled as such to classification as a "resident for tuition
purposes" under the terms and conditions prescribed for
residents and domiciliaries of the state of Florida. All
claims to "resident for tuition purposes" classification
must be supported by evidence as stated in 6C- 7.005(1),
(2) if requested by the registering authority.
(5) A "nonresident" or, if a dependent child, the
individual's parent, after maintaining a legal residence
and being a bona fide domiciliary of Florida for twelve
(12) months, immediately prior to enrollment and quali-
fication as a resident, rather than for the purpose of
maintaining a mere temporary residence or abode inci-
dent to enrollment in an institution of higher education,
may apply for and be granted classification as a "resident
for tuition purposes"; provided, however, that those stu-
dents who are nonresident aliens or who are in the United
States on a nonimmigration visa will not be entitled to
reclassification. An application for reclassification as a
"resident for tuition purposes" shall comply with provi-
sions of subsection (4) above. An applicant who has been
classified as a "nonresident for tuition purposes" 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 maintained residency in the state for the
twelve months immediately prior to qualification re-
quired to establish residence for tuition purposes. In the
absence of such evidence, the applicant shall not be
reclassified as a "resident for tuition purposes." It is
recommended that the application for reclassification be
accompanied by a certified copy of a declaration of intent
to establish legal domicile in the state, which intent must
have been filed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court, as
provided by Section 222.17, Florida Statutes. If the re-
quest for reclassification and the necessary documenta-
tion 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 Florida Statutes.
(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.

appropriate arrangements for fee payment (deferment or
third party billing) by the fee payment deadline will be
subject to a late payment fee of $50.00.

of the late charges should not be assessed, because of

tablished deadlines, may petition for a waiver of the late
fees by submitting a petition for the waiver with the
appropriate office as follows:
Late Registration fee: Office of the University Registrar.
Late Payment Fee: University Financial Services.

tion to substantiate the extraordinary circumstances. The

the Graduate Record Examination is required for admis-
sion to the Graduate School. The fee is $44.00. Students

Deadlines
Students are reminded that deadlines are strictly en-
forced. The University does not have the authority to
waive late fees unless it has been determined that the
University is primarily responsible for the delinquency or
that extraordinary circumstances warrant such waiver.
Cancellation and Reinstatement
The University shall cancel the registration of any
student who has not paid any portion of his/her fee
liability by the published deadlines.
Reinstatement shall require the approval of the Univer-
sity and payment of all delinquent liabilities including the

applicable. A student whose registration has been can-
celled for nonpayment of fees must request reinstatement.
In the event student has not paid the entire fee liability
bythe published deadlines, the University shall temporar-
ily suspend further academic progress of the student. This
will be accomplished by flagging the student's record
which will prevent receipt of grades, transcripts or a
diploma, and registration will be denied for future terms
until the account has been settled in full.
Deferral of Registration and Tuition Fees
A fee deferment allows students to pay fees after the fee
payment deadline without being subject to either cancel-
lation of registration, or the late payment fee. The Univer-
sity may award fee deferments to students in the following
circumstances:
1. Students whose state or federal financial assistance is
delayed due to circumstances beyond the control of the
student.
2. Students receiving veterans' educational assistance
benefits.
3. Students for whom formal arrangements have been
made with the University for payment by an acceptable
third-party donor.
This deferment covers tuition fee payments only and
must be established by the fee payment deadline. Fee
deferments are granted based on information from the
Office of Student Financial Affairs (financial aid defer-
ments) or the Office of the University Registrar (veterans).
Questions of eligibility for a fee deferment should be
referred to the appropriate office.
Waiver of Fees
The University may waive fees as follows:
1. Participants in sponsored institutes and programs
where substantially all direct costs are paid by the spon-
soring agent may waive all fees.
2. State employees who have been employed on a
permanent, full-time basis for at least six months may be
permitted to waive fees up to a maximum of six credit
hours per term on a space available basis only.
3. Intern supervisors for institutions within the State
University System may be given one nontransferable
certificate (fee waiver) for each full academic term during
which the person serves as an intern supervisor. All fees
are waived.
The Non-Florida Student Financial Aid fee may not be
waived for students receiving an out-of-state fee waiver.
REFUND OF FEES
Tuition fees will be refunded in full in the circumstances
noted below:
1. If notice of withdrawal from the University is ap-
proved prior to the end of the drop/add period and written
documentation is received from the student.
2. Credit hours dropped during the drop/add period.
3. Courses cancelled by the University.

the semester is precluded.
7. Exceptional circumstances, upon approval of the
University President or his/her designee(s).
A refund of 25 percent of the total fees paid (less
building, capital improvement, and late fees) is available

University is approved prior to the end of the fourth week
of classes for full semesters, or a proportionately shorter
period of time for shorter terms, and written documenta-
tion is received from the student.

student who has not paid any portion of his or her fee
liability by the established deadlines published by the
University each semester. A student whose registration

UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES
The Libraries of the University of Florida form the
largest information resource system in the state of Florida.
While the collections are extensive, they are not compre-
hensive and graduate students will find it useful to supple-
ment them through a variety of devices and cooperative
programs drawing upon the resources of many other
libraries. The following entry describes the UF libraries,
local collection strengths, and the physical distribution of
collections among campus libraries as well as the services
available to assist students and faculty in locating needed
information.
The Libraries of the Universityof Florida consistof eight
libraries. Six are in the system known as the George A.
Smathers Libraries of the University of Florida and two
(Health Sciences and Law) are attached to their respective
administrative units. All of the libraries serve all the
University's faculty and students, but each has a special
mission to be the primary support of specific colleges and
degree programs. Because of the interdisciplinary nature
of research, scholars may find collections built in one
library to serve a specific discipline or constituency to be
of great importance to their own research in another
discipline. It most likely will be necessary to use more
than one library to discover all of the resources pertinent
to a particular research interest.
The online catalog, LUIS, eases the difficulty of locating
materials. It can be accessed from offices, laboratories,
and dormitories or homes. It contains about 93% of the
cataloged collections, including Health Sciences and
Law, with exceptions being some older humanities and
social science titles acquired prior to 1975 as well as some
uncataloged special collections and documents. The
latter are available through the Union Card Catalog on the
First Floor of Library West or specialized catalogs in
Special Collections and Documents. Reference staff
throughout the libraries can provide instruction in the use
of LUIS and/or written instructions for self help.
Owing to disciplinary variation in research methods,
the policies enforced and the services offered may differ
from library to library. Most of the libraries have an
advisory board consisting of faculty and students who
advise on the policies and services relating to their library.
Information on local policies is available atthe circulation
and reference desks in each library.
As is common in research libraries, library materials are
housed in a variety of locations depending upon disci-
pline.
*Library West holds most of the humanities and social
science collections, as well as American and foreign
documents and professional collections in support of
business, health and human performance, and journal-
ism.
eSmathers Library holds the Latin American andJudaica
collections, and the Special Collections-rare books
and manuscripts, PK Young Library of Florida History,
and University Archives.
*Marston Science Library holds most of the agricul-
ture, science, and technology collections as well as the
Map Library.
eArchitecture/Fine Arts Library (201 Fine Arts Build-
ing A) holds visual arts, architecture, and building
construction materials.
*Education Library (1500 Norman Hall) holds most of
the education collections.
*Music Library (231 Music Building) holds most music
materials and a collection of recordings.
*Journalism Reading Room holds a small collection of
materials relating to journalism and mass communica-
tion.
SPECIAL FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS / 35
*Health Science Center Library holds major resources
for the medical sciences, related life sciences, and
veterinary medicine.
eLegal Information Center holds major resources for
law and related social sciences.
Together the Libraries hold over 3,000,000 cataloged
volumes, 4,200,000 microforms, 1,000,000 documents,
550,000 maps, and 20,000 computer datasets. The
Libraries have built a number of nationally significant
research collections primarily in support of graduate
research programs. Among them are the Baldwin Library
of Children's Literature which is among the world's
greatest collections of literature for children (Smathers
Library, Special Collections); the Map Library which 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 (Marston Science
Library, Level One); the Isser and Ray Price Library of
Judaica which is the largest collection of its kind in the
Southeast (Smathers Library, fourth floor); and the P.K.
Young Library of Florida History, which is the state's
preeminent Floridiana collection and holds the largest
North American collection of Spanish colonial docu-
ments concerning the southeastern United States as well
as rich archives of prominent Florida politicians (Smathers
Library, Special Collections).
The Libraries also have particularly strong holdings in
architectural preservation and 18th-century American
architecture (AFA), late 19th- and early-20th-century
German state documents from 1850-1940 (Library West),
Latin American art and architecture (AFA and Smathers

ence), U.S. Census information, especially in electronic
format (Library West, Documents), the rural sociology of
Florida and tropical and subtropical agriculture collec-
tions (Marston Science Library), English and American
Literature (Library West), and U.S. Documents (Library
West, Documents).
All students and faculty are provided library services
upon presentation of the University of Florida machine
readable ID card. This card is used to circulate books, to
borrow reserves, and to establish identity for other library
services such as Interlibrary Loan and online searching.
Reference service is provided to library users in each
library and is also available via telephone and E-Mail. All
of the libraries provide special services to assist handi-
capped students and faculty in their use of the libraries;
information is available at all circulation desks. At the
beginningof each semester, the Libraries offer orientation
programs designed to teach those new to campus what
services are available and how to use them. Schedules are
posted in each library at the beginning of each term.
Individual assistance is available at the reference desk in
each library. In addition, instructional librarians will
work with faculty and teaching assistants to develop and
present course specific library instruction sessions. In-
struction coordinators are available in Humanities and
Social Science Reference in Library West, in Marston
Science Library, and in the branches.
Subject specialists, who work closely with faculty and
graduate students to select materials for the collections,
also advise graduate students and other researchers who
need specialized bibliographic knowledge to define what
information resources are available locally and nationally
to support specific research. A list of subject specialists is
available at reference desks and users may schedule a
meeting with the appropriate specialist.
The Libraries are members of the Research Libraries
Group and the Center for Research Libraries which gives
faculty and students access to many major scholarly
collections. In addition, the libraries are linked to major
national and international databases such as RLIN, OCLC,
NEXIS/LEXIS, DIALOGUE, and QUESTEL. Many materi-
alsthatare not held on campus can be quickly located and
borrowed through one of the cooperative programs to
which the Libraries belong. Consult with a reference
librarian to take advantage of these services. Publications
describing specialized services are available at reference
and circulation desks throughout the Libraries.
Current information regarding library hours may be
obtained by calling the desired library (392-0341 for
Library West and Smathers, 392-2758 for Marston Sci-
ence Library).
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 campuswide usage, help-
ing to provide resources for maintenance, upgrading
existing instruments and developing new techniques,
planning purchases of major new instruments, training
and supervising users, and providing professional scien-
tists to supervise the solution of individual problems.
Center personnel also direct users to other campus facili-
ties, if necessary. For example, the Institute of Food and
Agricultural Sciences (IFAS) and the Departmentof Chem-
istry both have a number of analytical facilities that are
available to some users.
The instruments involved include several electron mi-
croscopes (TEM, SEM, AEM) with full analytical and
imaging capabilities, instruments directed toward surface
analysis (i.e., AES, ISS, SIMS and XPS, RBS, PIXE, and
NRA), and several mass spectrometers.
Education and training are achieved by a variety of
means. The MAIC offers short courses annually in several
specialized areas, e.g., scanning electron microscopy,
transmission electron microscopy, vacuum technology,
surface science, and optical microscopy. These are open
both for graduate credit and to those outside the Univer-
sity community. (The Chemistry Department, IFAS, and
the Engineering and Industrial Experiment Station also
regularly offer several short courses of a complementary
nature.) Some individually supervised training directed
by Center personnel is available to graduate students.
The overall aim of the MAIC isthusto make possible the
solution of any scientific or technological problem that
requires state-of-the-art analytical instrumentation and to
make these capabilities accessible to all University and
state personnel. Cooperation with state industries is also
encouraged where this is legal and appropriate.
The administration and professional staff of the MAIC
are located in 217 Materials Science and Engineering
Buildingwhere further information may be obtained upon
request.
36 /GENERAL INFORMATION
MONOGRAPH SERIES
The Graduate School sponsors two monograph series
devoted to the publication of research primarily by pres-
ent and former members of the scholarly community of
the University. The Social Sciences Monographs are
published each year with subjects drawn from anthropol-
ogy, economics, history, political science, sociology,
education, geography, law, and psychology. The Hu-
manities Monographs are published each year with sub-
jects drawn from art, language and literature, music,
philosophy, and religion.
FLORIDA MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY
The Florida Museum of Natural History was created by
an act of the Legislature in 1917 as a department of the
University of Florida. Through its affiliation with the
University, it carried dual responsibility as the Florida
museum and the University museum.
The Museum is located at the corner of Museum Road
and Newell Drive in a modern facility completed in 1970.
The public halls are open from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.,
Tuesday through Saturday, and 1 to 4 p.m. on Sundays.
The Museum is closed on Christmas Day. There is no
admission charge.
The Museum operates as a center of research in anthro-
pology and natural history. Its accessory functions as an
educational arm of the University are carried forward
through interpretive displays and scientific publications.
Under the administrative control of the director are the
three departments of the Museum: Natural Sciences,
staffed by scientists and technicians concerned with the
study and expansion of the research collections of ani-
mals; Anthropology, whose staff members are concerned
with the study of historic and prehistoric people and their
cultures; Interpretation, staffed by specialists in the inter-
pretation of knowledge through museum exhibit tech-
niques and education programs. Members of the scientific
and educational staff of the Museum hold dual appoint-
ments in appropriate teaching departments. Through these
appointments, they participate in both undergraduate and
graduate teaching programs.
The Allyn Museum of Entomology, Sarasota, is part of
the Department of Natural Sciences of the Florida Mu-
seum of Natural History. The combined Sarasota and
Gainesville holdings in Lepidoptera rank the Allyn Mu-
seum of Entomology as the largest in the western hemi-
sphere and the premier Lepidoptera research center in the
world. The Allyn Museum publishes the Bulletin of the
Allyn Museum of Entomology and sponsors the Karl
Jordan Medal. The Allyn Collection serves as a major
source for taxonomic and biogeographic research by a
number of Museum and Department of Zoology faculty
and students, as well as a great many visiting entomolo-
gists from around the world.
The Swisher Memorial Tract and the Ordway Preserve
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 admini-
stered by the School of Forest Resources and Conserva-
tion and the Florida Museum of Natural History, this area
supports several research activities centering on the ecol-
ogy of threatened species and the restoration of the native
longleaf pine growth in the sandhills. Thesis and disserta-
tion 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 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 identification of natural plant products.
The research collections are under the care of curators
who encourage the scientific study of the Museum's
holdings. Materials are constantly being added to the
collections both through gifts from friends and as a result
of research activities of the Museum staff. The archaeo-
logical and ethnological collections are noteworthy, par-
ticularly in the aboriginal and Spanish colonial material
remains from the southeastern United States and the
Caribbean. There are extensive study collections of birds,
mammals, mollusks, reptiles, amphibians, fish, inverte-
brate and vertebrate fossils, plant fossils, and a bioacous-
tic archive consisting of original recordings of animal
sounds. Opportunities are provided for students, staff, and
visiting scientists to use the collections. Research and field
work are presently sponsored in the archaeological, pale-
ontological, and zoological fields. Students interested in
these specialties should make application to the appropri-
ate teaching department. Graduate assistantships are avail-
able in the Museum in areas emphasized in its research
programs.
UNIVERSITY PRESS OF FLORIDA
The University Press of Florida is the official scholarly
publishing agency of the State University System of Florida.
The Press, which operates with a single staff located just
off the University of Florida campus at 15 NW 15th Street,
reports to the President of the University, who supervises
the Press on behalf of the nine state universities. The
statewide Council of Presidents is the governing board for
the Press.
An editorial committee, made up of a faculty represen-
tative from each of the nine state universities, determines
whether manuscripts submitted to it meet the academic,
scholarly, and programmatic standards of the Press. The
committee is currently chaired by the Provost of the
University of Florida. The Director of the Press has the
discretion to decide which of the manuscripts, receiving
the approval of the faculty editorial committee, will be
published.
The Press publishes scholarly works of intellectual
distinction and significance, books that contribute to
improving the quality of higher education in Florida, and
books of general and regional interest and usefulness to
the people of Florida, reflecting their rich historical,
cultural, and intellectual heritage and resources. The

INTERDISCIPLINARY GRADUATE
STUDIES
INTERNATIONAL STUDIES
As the oldest and largest institution of higher education
in a state at the leading edge of a rapidly changing global
environment, the University of Florida has a comprehen-
sive commitment to excellence in international educa-
tion. It extends from foreign language instruction, area
studies programs, study abroad opportunities, and inter-
national exchanges into every facet of its teaching, re-
search, and service. The University is dedicated to serving
the international interests of Florida and the nation and to
preparing its students for the global challenges and oppor-
tunities of the 21st century.
Duringthe last three decades, the Universityof Florida's
commitment to international studies has expanded rap-
idly. This expansion has resulted in the creation of a
Center for Latin American Studies, a Center for African
Studies, a Center for Tropical Agriculture, a Center for
International Student and Faculty Exchanges, a program
in international relations, and an English Language Insti-
tute for speakers of other languages. Programs in African
and Asian Languages and Literatures, Soviet and East
European Studies, and West European Studies have been
added to the undergraduate curriculum. The University of
Florida has participated in programs of assistance and
development in many major areas of the world: Africa,
South America, Middle America, and Southeast Asia.
There has also been a.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 International Stud-
ies Building, Linton E. Grinter Hall. The modern four-story
building contains faculty offices, study cubicles, and
seminar rooms, as well as the offices of the Graduate
School, the Division of Sponsored Research, the Center
for African Studies, Program in African and Asian Lan-
guages and Literatures, Center for Jewish Studies, and the
Center for Latin American Studies.
As an indication of the University's continuing commit-
ment to international studies and its importance to all
areas of graduate education, in September 1991, the
Provost created the Office of International Studies with
the charge of developing and coordinating the interna-
tional activities of the University. The Director of this
office represents the University on councils and commit-
tees related to international academic activities, projects,
and enterprises.
The Center for African Studies, one of nine National
Resource Centers on Africa, funded, in part, under Title VI
of the Higher Education Act, directs and coordinates
interdisciplinary instruction, research, and outreach re-
lated to Africa. In cooperation with participating depart-
ments throughout the University, the Center offers a
Certificate in African Studies at both the master's and
doctoral levels. The curriculum provides a broad founda-
INTERDISCIPLINARY GRADUATE STUDIES/ 37

sional careers in which a knowledge of Africa is essential.
Graduate Fellowships and Assistantships.-Students
admitted to the Graduate School in pursuit of degrees
offered by participating departments are eligible to com-
pete for graduate assistantships and Title VI Foreign
Language and Area Studies fellowships.
ExtracurricularActivities.-The Center sponsors an an-
nual conference on an African topic, a weekly collo-
quium series-BARAZA-with invited speakers, and a
biweekly film series. The Carter Lectures on Africa are
held throughout the academic year. The Center also
directs an extensive out-reach program addressed to
public schools, community colleges, and universities
nationwide.
Library Resources.-The Center for African Studies
provides direct support for African library acquisitions to
meet the instructional and research needs of its faculty
and students. The Africana Collection numbers over
50,000 volumes. The Map Library contains 360,000 maps
and 165,000 serial photographs and satellite images and
is among the top five academic African map libraries in
the U.S.
.African Art.-The Center regularly sponsors exhibits in
the Grinter Galleries. The University Gallery holds an
extensive collection of African sculpture and textiles. The
Rosenbloom Collection, 37 pieces of African sculpture, is
housed in the Florida Museum of Natural History. The
Department of Art holds approximately 5,000 African art
slides.
Graduate Certificate Program.-The Center for African
Studies, in cooperation with participating departments
offers a Certificate in African Studies in conjunction with
the master's and doctoral degrees.
Requirements for the Certificate in African Studies with
a master's degree are (a) at least 18 credits of course work
in a departmental major, 15 of which should relate to
Africa; (b) 9 credits of course work related to Africa and

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 sci-
ence-international relations. The political science-
international relations program is designed to provide
professional education to those whose primary interest is
a career in foreign relations, whether in the public or
private sector. Requirements for the M.A. are an interdis-
ciplinary core of 12 credits and 27 credits in three
discipline-based tracks. Two of the three tracks must be in
political science; the third may be chosen from a wide
range of disciplines, including economics, journalism,
agriculture, statistics, computer sciences, or area studies.
For the Ph.D., the student must complete the require-
38 /GENERAL INFORMATION
ments for the M.A. and then has the option of taking (1)
either three fields in political science or (2) two fields in
political science and a third in another discipline.
The Center for Latin American Studies coordinates
teaching, research, and service activities related to Latin
America and the Caribbean.
MasterofArts 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 concentration empha-
sizes training and research in area and language studies,
which develop a greater understanding of Latin America's
cultures and societies. Students concentrate in one de-
partment, which may beAnthropology, Economics, Food
and Resource Economics, Geography, History, Political
Science, Romance Languages and Literatures (Spanish),
or Sociology. This option is especially suited to the needs
of students who wish to obtain a well-rounded back-
ground in Latin American Studies before pursuing the
Ph.D. in a specialized discipline.
The topical concentration clusters course work and
research around a thematic field focusing on contempo-
rary Latin American problems. Students may concentrate
in Brazilian studies, Caribbean studies, international com-
munications, museum studies, population studies, tropi-
cal agriculture, and tropical conservation and develop-
ment. This option builds on prior professional or admin-
istrative 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 semester of LAS
6938; (2) a reading, writing, and speaking knowledge of
one Latin American language (Spanish, Portuguese,
Aymara, or Haitian Creole); and (3) a thesis on an interdis-
ciplinary Latin American topic.
Although the M.A. in Latin American studies is a
terminal degree, many past recipients have entered the
Ph.D. programs in related disciplines from which they
prepare for university teaching careers. Other graduates
are employed in the foreign service, educational and
research institutions, international organizations, govern-
ment agencies, nonprofit corporations, and private com-
panies in the United States and Latin America.
Prerequisites for admission to the program are (1) a
baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or uni-
versity; (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.

The Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS) is a con-
sortium of 52 major educational and research institutions
in the United States and abroad, created to promote
understanding of tropical environments and their intelli-
gent use by people. The University of Florida is a charter
member. Graduate field courses in tropical biology and
ecology, agricultural ecology, population biology, and
forestry are offered in Costa Rica during the spring and
summer terms. Students are selected on a competitive
basis from all OTS member institutions.
A University of Florida graduate student may register for
eight credits in an appropriate departmental course cross-
listed with OTS, e.g., BOT 6951 or PCB 6357C. The
University of Florida does not require tuition for OTS
courses. Registration is on the host campus. However,
students on Graduate Assistantships must be registered at
the University of Florida-as well. Research grants are
available through OTS. Further information may be ob-
tained from University of Florida representatives to the
OTS board of directors, located in 422 Carr Hall and 3028
McCarty Hall.
The Center for Tropical Agriculture, within the Insti-
tute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, seeks to stimulate
interest in research and curriculum related to the tropical
environment and its development.
Minor in Tropical Agriculture.-An interdisciplinary
minor in tropical agriculture may be planned at both the
master's and doctoral levels by students majoring in
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, agricultural production, and the lan-
guage and culture of tropical countries.
Certificate in Tropical Agriculture (CTA).-A program
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 for work in
both the biological and social aspects of tropical agricul-
ture. Students entering the program will receive individ-
ual counseling to insure that each receives appropriate
course work, language preparation, and (if desired) expe-
rience in a foreign country.
The CTA requires a minimum of 12 credit hours. 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 backgrounds who have career
interests in tropical agriculture are encouraged to con-
sider the CTA. The CTA Steering Committee will counsel
individual students into appropriate biological, agricul-
tural, social, and management courses.
Students in the. CTA program are required to demon-
strate proficiency in a second language. A score on the
Foreign Service Institute (FSI) Language Examination of 1 +
or higher, or a comparable score on a similar examination
(if taken within two years of admission to the CTA pro-
gram) will fulfill the language requirement. Otherwise, an
internal language examination will be administered some-
time during the CTA program for each individual student.
While no specific second language is required, Spanish,
French, or Portugese is strongly suggested;
Experience in a foreign country is not a requisite for the
CTA. It is, however, strongly encouraged. A proposal,
filed at least one semester in advance of foreign work, is
required for credit under the CTA program.
Research.-The Center provides research grants to
faculty members and their graduate students and assists in
the coordination of interdisciplinary research funded
elsewhere. Development assistance contracts in agricul-
ture and related fields frequently have research compo-
nents.
Student Support.-Students within the College of Agri-
culture and the School of Forest Resources and Conserva-
tion pursuing a minor in tropical agriculture are eligible
for research grants awarded by the Center through aca-
demic departments.
OtherActivities.-The Center seeks a broad dissemina-
tion of knowledge about tropical agriculture through the
sponsoring of conferences, short courses, and seminars
featuring leading authorities on the tropics; publication of
books, monographs, and proceedings; and through ac-
quisition of materials 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 the
INTERDISCIPLINARY GRADUATE STUDIES / 39
Gulf Coast, 3 miles offshore, opposite Cedar Key. Facili-
ties include a 20x40-foot research and teaching building
and a 10-room residence, with 2 kitchens and a dining-
lounge, which provides dormitory accommodations for
24 persons. The Laboratory, which owns a 32-foot re-
search vessel equipped for offshore work and several
smaller outboard-powered boats for shallow water and
inshore work, is used for research by graduate students
from the various departments of the University.
The Center for Sea Turtle Research conducts research
on all aspects of the biology of sea turtles. Researchers at
the Center, in collaboration with students and faculty of
various departments, take an interdisciplinary approach
to address the complex problems of sea turtle biology and
conservation. Scientists from the Center have investigated
questions of sea turtle biology around the world. Long-
term field studies of the Center are primarily conducted at
two research stations in Costa. Rica and the Bahamas.
Reproductive biology of green turtles is studied at Tortu-
guero, Costa Rica, the site of the largest nesting colony of
green turtles in the Atlantic. Studies on the biology ofthree
species of sea turtles are conducted at a natural feeding
area on Great Inagua, Bahamas. For further information,
contact the Director, Center for Sea Turtle Research, 223

The Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney Laboratory (WL) is
the institute for marine biomedical research and biotech-
nology of the University of Florida. Since its founding in
1974, the Whitney Laboratory, near St. Augustine, has
been dedicated to the use of marine organisms for solving
fundamental problems in experimental marine biology.
The academic staff of the Laboratory consists of 10
permanent faculty members, with 30 to 40 associates,
students, and visiting scientists. Dr. Michael J. Greenberg
has been the Director since 1981.
Fields of research at the WL include chemosensory and
visual physiology and biochemistry, synaptology, devel-
opmental and cell biology, molecular biology, toxicol-
ogy, and peptide pharmacology. Research animals range
phylogenetical ly from jellyfish to aquatic vertebrates. The
common theme unifying this diversity is a focus on
communication between cells and tissues, i.e., the inter-
actions of cell membranes with signaling molecules.
Research at the Whitney Laboratory attracts graduate
students and visiting scientists from across the U.S. and
from abroad. Students enroll in the graduate programs of
the Departments of Anatomy and Cell Biology, Neuros-
cience, Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Physiology, or
Zoology. Their course work (in Gainesville) and their
dissertation research (at the Whitney Lab) are guided by
scientists from the WL who are graduate faculty members
of University of Florida teaching departments. An under-
graduate research training program at the Laboratory is
sponsored by both private and governmental agencies.
The Laboratory is situated on a narrow barrier island,
with both the Atlantic Ocean and the Intercoastal Water-
way within a few hundred feet of the facility. The campus
is in the town of Marineland, about 18 miles south of St.
Augustine, and 80 miles east of Gainesville.

AGROFORESTRY
The agroforestry interdisciplinary specialization is ad-
ministered through the Department of Forestry, in the
40/GENERAL INFORMATION
School of Forest Resources and Conservation. It offers
facilities for interdisciplinary graduate education (M.S.,
Ph.D.) by combining course work and research around a
thematic field focusing on agroforestry, especially in the
context of tropical land use. Students seeking admission
to the specialization should have a degree in one of the
relevant fields such as agronomy, forestry, horticulture,
soil science, or social sciences. They should apply to the
School of Forest Resources and Conservation or another
department that closely represents their background and
interest. Students have the flexibility to plan their course
work, with focus on agroforestry, out of a wide range of
courses from several related disciplines. Thesis research
can be undertaken in Florida or overseas. Degrees will be
awarded through the departments in which the candi-
dates are enrolled, the emphasis on agroforestry being
reflected by the courses taken and the dissertation topic.
Further information may be obtained from the Agro-
forestry Program Leader at 118 Newins-Ziegler Hall;

CELL STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION IN HEALTH AND
DISEASE
Interdisciplinary graduate study in cell structure and
function in health and disease provides students with a
strong background in the application of morphological,
molecular, biophysical, genetic, and immunological ap-
proaches to basic problems relating to cell function. The
interdisciplinary nature of the specialization permits a
broad spectrum of research opportunities tailored to the
specific needs of each student.
Approximately 50 faculty members participate in the
program. Research areas include developmental biology,
gametogenesis, intracellular targeting, molecular organi-
zation and function of organelles, cytoskeleton, signal
transduction, action of hormones and neurotransmitters,
energy metabolism and control, visual biochemistry, cel-
lular and molecular immunology, biomembranes/mem-
brane transport, molecular basis of disease, cancer biol-
ogy, and mechanisms of viral infection. Prerequisites
include a basic course in cell biology, biochemistry, and
physical chemistry or equivalents.
During the first year the student takes courses in Cell

Policies and procedures of DSR are developed by a
Board of Directors working with the Vice President for
Research within the administrative policies and proce-
dures 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 serv-
ice agreement proposals must have the approval of the
Vice President for Research before submission. Subse-
quent negotiations of sponsored awards are executed
under the Vice President's supervision. DSR's manage-
ment of proposal processing and award administration
relieves principal investigators and departments of many
of the detailed administrative and reporting duties con-
nected with sponsored research. DSR also assists re-
searchers in finding sponsors for their projects and dis-
seminates program information, research policies and
regulations, and proposal deadlines throughout the Uni-
versity.
The law establishing the Division of Sponsored Re-
search enables the use of some recovered indirect cost
funds to support innovative research. The DSR Board of
Directors has the responsibility for the award of these
Internal Support Program funds to eligible faculty. For
information, write the Vice President for Research, Divi-
sion of Sponsored Research, 223 Grinter Hall.

The overall objective of IASCP is the maintenance of a
scientific center of excellence focused on human commu-
nicative behavior. The Institute's program includes (but is
notconfined to) three broad areas: 1) the communicator(s),
i.e., the physiological/ physical/psychological processes
by which individuals generate and transmit communica-
tive signals (speech), 2) the respondentss, and how recep-
tive (hearing) and neural mechanisms function to process
signals within a variety of environments, and 3) the
message, i.e., the codes and signs (language) that consti-
tute the sum total of these communicative messages. The
IASCP faculty includes students and scientists with a
variety of interests and training. Expertise is represented
by the phonetic sciences, speech pathology and audiol-
ogy, psychology, psycholinguistics, linguistics, anthro-
pology, psychoacoustics, auditory neurophysiology, elec-
trical engineering, computer sciences, physics, commu-
nication studies, bilingual communication, biocommu-
nication, dentistry, and medicine.

ies of sources, atmospheric transformation, and transport
of acidic substances for a Florida acid rain assessment; (2)
studies of ultraviolet, visible, and infrared radiation levels
reaching the ground for photobiological applications; (3)
evaluation of the environmental impact for the conver-
sion of Florida's oil boilers to coal including development
of interpolated analytic wind roses and pollutant concen-
tration contours for Florida; (4) interplay of energy pro-
duction needs relative to air quality standards including
the technical, scientific, medical, agricultural, psycho-
logical, economic, and legal aspects 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 envi-
ronment projects have led to the formation of the Univer-
sity of Florida-Sunland Training Center-Clean Combus-
tion Technology Laboratory (CCTL) which evolved from

CENTER FOR WETLANDS
The Center for Wetlands is an intercollege research
division dedicated to understanding wetlands and their
role in the partnership of humanity and nature.
Definition.-Wetlands refer to lowlands covered with
shallow and sometimes temporary or intermittent waters.
They are also known as marshes, swamps, bogs, wet
meadows, potholes, sloughs, and river-overflow lands.
Not only are wetlands important as waterfowl and fish
habitats, but wetlands also play a vital role in surface
water management and water quality. Wetlands are fast
becoming more prominent in science, engineering, and
public policy.
Research.-The Center encourages interdisciplinary
research on understanding the role of protection, crea-
tion, and effective management and use of wetlands in our
developing landscape. Through our extensive research
we are beginning to understand how to effectively inte-
grate wetlands into our developing landscape. The Center
advances knowledge through special research approaches
such as systems ecology modeling and simulation, energy
analysis and planning, field experiments on vegetation
response to water control, creation and restoration of
wetlands and surrounding watersheds, and regional plan-
ning. The Center has projects with several state and
federal agencies such as Environmental Protection Agency,
National Science Foundation, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, Florida Department of Environmental Regula-
tion, Florida Institute of Phosphate Research, St. Johns and
Southwest Florida water management districts, Orange
County Utilities, U.S. Department of Interior, and others.

Scholarly Writing and Academic Spoken English.-
Two programs intended to help international graduate
50 /GENERAL INFORMATION
students are offered by the Program in Linguistics: Schol-
arly Writing (SW) and Academic Spoken English (ASE).
Scholarly Writing is useful to all students who would like
to master the forms of.writing they need in their course
work, including the technical paper. Students identified
as likely to need help with English writing are required to
take a writing test upon arrival at the University. The
results determine whether they must enroll in ENS 4449.
A second course, ENS 4450, is designed for those students
about to begin writing their theses or dissertations. It
includes report writing, resumes, business letters, grant
proposals, and thesis writing. The Academic Spoken
English program offers three classes which address the
oral skills needed for daily communication in a classroom
situation. ENS 5501 (Academic Spoken English I) is a
basic, intensive course for graduate students scoring
below 220 on the SPEAK test. ENS 5502 (Academic
Spoken English II) is required for students who score
between 220 and 250 on the SPEAK test and have a
teaching appointment. The course focuses on language
and on cultural and pedagogical problems which interna-
tional teaching assistants encounter in their classrooms.
ENS 5503 (Academic Spoken English Tutorial) is designed
for students who have completed ENS 5501 or who
scored above 220 on the SPEAK test. International gradu-
ate students are matched with American undergraduates
seeking tutoring; the tutoring sessions are videotaped and
then serve as the basis for instruction in communication
and teaching skills. ENS 4449, 4450, 5501, 5502, and
5503 may not be used to meet any graduate degree
requirement.
International applicants should check with their de-
partments to determine whether they will need to take
courses in the ELI, ASE, or SW program.

sional career in accounting is the 3/2 five-year program
with a joint awarding of the Bachelor of Science in
Accounting and Master of Accounting upon completion
of the 156-hour program. The entry point into the 3/2
program is the beginning of the senior year.
Students who have already completed an undergradu-
ate degree in accounting may enter the one-year M.Acc.
degree program which requires satisfactory completion of
34 hours 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 re-
maining credits are selected from recommended elective
courses that vary by area of specialization. Students are
cautioned to seek early advisement since many graduate
courses are offered only once a year.
Requirements for the Ph.D. degree include a core of
courses in mathematical methods, statistics, and eco-
nomic theory; one or two supporting fields selected by the
student; and a major field of accounting. Students are
expected to acquire teaching experience as part of the
Ph.D. degree program. Grants-in-aid will be awarded for
this teaching. Foreign 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
enroll in ACG 6940 for a minimum of three credits.
Program requirements include fulfillment of a research
skill area and a dissertation on an accounting-related
topic.

These members of the faculty of the Florida State University (*) and
Florida Atlantic University (t) are also members of the graduate faculty of
the University of Florida and participate in the doctoral degree program in
the University of Florida Department of Anthropology.
The Department of Anthropology offers graduate work
leading to.the Master of Arts (thesis or nonthesis option)
and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Graduate training is
offered in applied anthropology, social and cultural an-
thropology, archeology, anthropological linguistics, and
physical/ biological anthropology.
There is a general option and an interdisciplinary one.
The general option allows students to concentrate at the
M.A. level on the integration of the four subfields of
anthropology and to specialize at the Ph.D. level. The
interdisciplinary alternative allows students to 1) concen-
trate 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 an-
thropology and an outside field. More information about
these two options is found in the Department publication
on graduate programs and policies that may be obtained
by writing directly to the Department.
The Department of Anthropology generally requires a
minimum score of 1100 on the Graduate Record Exami-
nation 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 language may be
required by the student's supervisory committee. Other
requirements for the program are listed in this Catalog
under the Requirements for Master's Degrees.
Students enrolled in the M.A. program who wish to
continue their studies for a Ph.D. must apply to the

Master of Architecture.-The Department of Architec-
ture 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 resi-
dence are normally required for completion of the Master
of Architecture degree. ARC 6241 and 6355 are required
of all graduate students in this track and are prerequisites
to the remaining course work. During graduate studies,
each student has the opportunity to focus course work in
one of several areas, including design, history and theory,
preservation, structures, and technology. The student's
overall college experience, including undergraduate pro-
grams in architecture and the two-year graduate program,
is intended to be a complete unit of professional educa-
tion leading toward practice in architecture or related
professions.
Related and Nonrelated Degree Base.-Those students
holding a baccalaureate degree in any related or nonre-
lated academic area may apply for graduate studies
leading to the degree Master of Architecture. The program
normally consists of four semesters of professional pre-
requisite course work prior to entering the 52-credit-hour
curriculum in advanced architectural design and research
(approximately four years total). A specific curriculum is
developed for each student, offering flexibility for indi-
vidual career goals while providing a comprehensive
architecture education. The Master of Architecture
(M.Arch.) degree, the first professional degree, is awarded
upon satisfactory completion of all of the program re-
quirements. This degree prepares the student for eventual
registration as an architect.
Accredited Five-Year Professional Base.-For those
students holding a baccalaureate degree in architecture
from an accredited five-year professional degree pro-
gram, a one-year degree program is available. In these
cases, a specialized curriculum which compliments the
68 / FIELDS OF INSTRUCTION
needs of the applicant is developed. The minimum regis-
tration is 30 credits; however, it may increase depending
on the transcripts and whether the applicant is seeking
architectural registration in the State of Florida.
Master of Science in Architectural Studies.-The
M.S.A.S. is a nonprofessional degree for those students
who wish to engage in advanced investigations in special-
ized areas of architectural history, theory, technology,
design, preservation, or practice. Students with a bachelor's
degree in any discipline from an accredited university are
eligible to apply to this program. This is normally a three-
semester program (32 hours) which includes a thesis. No
more than six hours of ARC 6971 may be counted in the
minimum credit hours for the degree. Interdisciplinary
study is encouraged.
The College of Architecture sponsors special curricula
in architecture each summer to enhance the academic
program. These curricula, offered during summer ses-
sions, are intended to supplement required course work.
Each of the three, Preservation Institute: Caribbean; Pres-
ervation Institute: Nantucket; and VIA (Vicenza Institute:
Architecture), accept students, not only from the Univer-
sity of Florida, but from academic circles throughout the
United States and the world.
Applications.-All applications for graduate admis-
sion, including official transcripts, GRE scores, and TOEFL
scores, if necessary, must be received by the Office of the
Registrar by January 15. In addition to satisfying Univer-
sity requirements for admission, applicants are required to
submit to the Graduate Secretary, Department of Archi-
tecture, 231 ARCH, University of Florida, the following:
a portfolio of their creative work; a scholarly statement of
intent and objectives; and three letters of recommenda-
tion. This material must be received by January 15 to be
considered for admission in the following fall semester.
(Portfolio must be accompanied by self-addressed, stamped
envelope.)
The Department reserves the right to retain student
work for purposes of record, exhibition, or instruction.
Field trips are required of- all students; students should
plan to have adequate funds available. It may be neces-
sary to assess studio fees to defray costs of base maps and
other generally used materials.

years residency is normally required for completion of the
requirements for this degree, which for studio majors
culminates with an MFA exhibition. The Department
reserves the right to retain student work for purposes of
record, exhibition, or instruction.
The MFA requires a minimum of 60 credit hours. ARH
6897 is required for all MFA majors. Twenty-four hours
must be in an area of specialization which will be taken
in the following sequence: ART 6926C, 6927C, 6928C,
6929C. Each class will be repeated as needed to achieve
the appropriate number of credits. Twelve hours of studio
electives, 6 hours of art history electives; 3 hours of
aesthetics, theory, criticism, or art law; 6 hours of elec-
tives; and 6 hours of individual project or thesis research
comprise the normal course requirements. Although the
MFA is a thesis degree, students usually produce a cre-
ative project in lieu of thesis. Students should see the
Graduate Coordinator for Department requirements for
the creative project. (If the student elects to write a thesis,
he/she must discuss the reasons with the Graduate Coor-
dinator and the supervisory committee during the second
year and make appropriate modifications. ARH 5805 is
required for all students who select the written thesis.)
Master of Arts Degree in Art Education.-The Depart-
ment offers the M.A. in art education. In addition to
meeting requirements of the Graduate School for admis-
sion, prospective students should (1) hold a degree in art,
art history, or art education; (2) send a portfolio, which
includes 35mm slides of works of art and a successful
research paper, to the Department; (3) submit three letters
of recommendation. The application deadline for fall
admission is March 1.
The M.A. in art education requires a minimum of 36
credit hours. ARE 6047, 6141, and 6148 are required.
The basic plan of study includes three credits of an
approved art education elective; eight credits in studio
courses; four credits in art history, art education, or
education electives; three credits of ARE 5815; and three
credits of thesis. To be admitted to candidacy, students
must pass a comprehensive examination at the beginning

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 Philosophy. Current
research fields include radio, infrared, and optical astron-
omy; astrometry and data adjustment theory; cosmology;
general relativity; quantum field theory in the early uni-
verse; photometry of compact binaries and intrinsic vari-
ables; photometry of active galactic nuclei; dynamical
astronomy; structure, kinematics, and dynamics of galax-
ies; solar system dynamics; comets; interplanetary dust;
satellite interiors; planetary magnetospheres; lunaroccul-
tation observations; radio and optical instrumentation;
and certain topics of theoretical stellar astrophysics. The
Department is active in Voyager radioastronomical inves-
tigations of the magnetospheres of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus
and Neptune.
Research Facilities.-Rosemary Hill Observatory, about
30 miles from Gainesville, houses 76-cm and 46-cm
reflectors. Instrumentation includes photographic and
CCD cameras, and microprocessor-based photometers.
The observatory contains one terminusof a 46-km baseline
radio interferometer. The other terminus is at the Dixie
County Radio Observatory, 50 miles from campus. The
radio observatory has low-frequency (below 40 MHz)
instrumentation consisting of a 7-acre filled aperture,
phase-steered array, and several smaller antennas, ad-
vanced terminal equipment, including wide-band radio
spectrographs. Several research programs use national
astronomy facilities (KPNO, NRAO, NAIC, CTIO, IRTF,
IPAC, and the Kuiper Airborne Observatory).
On campus facilities include a research darkroom
containing hypersensitization, sensitometric and photomi-
crographic equipment, an electronics shop, data reduc-
tion rooms with audio and videotape processing equip-
ment, iris photometer, microdensitometer, blink com-
ASTRONOMY / 71
parator, measuring engines, the Palomar Sky Survey, and
a planetary imaging center (under development). The
Department also maintains the International Card Catalog
of Photometric Binaries. Most scientific books and publi-
cations are centrally housed in an extensive science
library located near the Department.
Computing within the Department is handled by a
distributed client-server environment based on more than
20 RISC-based UNIX workstations (Sun, DEC, IBM). This
environment provides each user with the desktop com-
puting power necessary to run sophisticated applications
ranging from document preparation (The Publisher, TEX)
to data analysis and image processing (AIPS, IRAF, PV
WAVE). In addition to the Department's facilities ,
researchers also have access (via Internet) to an IBM 3090/
600J mainframe vector facility operated and maintained
by the Northeast Regional Data Center (NERDC) and
located in the same building as the Astronomy Depart-
ment. BITNET, Internet, and SPAN network connections
are also available. The University is a Smartnode of the
Cornell National Computer Facility and has a direct link
to the Florida State Supercomputer in Tallahassee.
For direct admission to the program, a student should
have a degree in astronomy, physics, or mathematics from
an accredited program. Students with degrees in related
fields, such as engineering, may be admitted with the
understanding that certain foundation courses will have
to be taken. If it seems desirable, an individual with a
strong background in physics may perform the graduate
research work in astronomy but take the qualifying exami-
nation 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. Complete
details of the program and research facilities may be
obtained by writingthe GraduateCoordinator, 211 Bryant

The Departmentof Botany offers graduate work leading
to the degrees of Master of Science, Master of Agriculture,
Master of Science in Teaching, and Doctor of Philosophy.
The faculty encompass three general areas of expertise:
biochemistry and physiology, ecology and population
genetics, systematics and evolution. Specific areas of
specialization include anatomy/ morphology with em-
phasis on tropical ferns, aquatic and woody plants, and
orchids; bryology; ecology and environmental studies;
ecological, cellular, and molecular genetics; mycology
with emphasis on physiology and development; algology
with emphasis on algae of brine ponds; physiology and
biochemistry with emphasis on ion uptake, photosynthe-
sis and photorespiration, growth and development of
selected fungi, calcium-binding proteins and protein phos-
phorylation; systematics with emphasis on monographic
and floristic studies; paleobotany; physiological ecology;
tropical botany and ecology.
For admission to graduate standing a student should
present credits equivalent to those required for under-
graduate majors in the Department, namely 24 credits in
botany, a course in genetics with laboratory, mathematics
through differential calculus, one year of college physics,
and chemistry through organic. Those admitted without
full equivalents of an undergraduate major will be re-
quired to make up the deficiencies by passing appropriate
courses early in theirgraduate programs. A reading knowl-
edge of a foreign language and credit for basic courses in
zoology and microbiology are desirable. The program of
graduate study for each student will be determined by a
supervisory committee. No more than ninecredits of BOT
6905 may be used to satisfy the credit requirements for a
master's degree. Each new student will be required to
enroll in Advances in Botany taught by the faculty during
the fall semester of the first year.
There are, in addition to the facilities of the Department
for graduate work, the following special resources that
may be utilized in support of graduate student training and
research: (1) the Florida Agricultural Experiment Stations,
(2) the Marine Sciences Center on the Gulf of Mexico for
studies in estuarine and marine habitats, (3) the resources
of the Welaka Conservation Reserve, (4) the Center for
Tropical Agriculture, which can support studies in tropi-
cal and subtropical areas, (5) the Center for Aquatic
Plants, (6) the Interdisciplinary Center for Biotechnology
Research, and (7) the Fairchild Tropical Garden for re-
search in the systematics, morphology and anatomy, and
economic botany of tropical plants.
To provide additional educational opportunities for our
graduate students in the form of botanical garden research
and training internship program, the Department of Bot-
any has entered into an arrangement with the Marie Selby
Botanical Gardens of Sarasota. Under this arrangement
students spend a semester in Sarasota as part of a regular

insure that the student's goals are achieved within the
broad policy guidelines of the school. Specialization may
be in areas such as the construction manager concept,
planning and scheduling, cost control, high rise construc-
tion, materials, techniques, and structural concepts.
There is no foreign language requirement. All BCN
graduate students are required to take an examination on
their ability to communicate in the English language.
Failure to make a satisfactory score on this examination
will result in the addition of a prerequisite 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 enrolled.
Holders of a four-year undergraduate degree in build-
ing construction or its equivalent in related fields may
normally complete the requirement for the master's de-
gree in one academic year (two semesters) as full-time
students. "Equivalent in related fields" should include
studies in construction materials and methods, structures,

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