LEADERSHIP THROUGH EXCELLENCE
Excellence, applied through teaching, research and
service, establishes the University of Florida as a pacesetting
university of tomorrow.
Only a half dozen universities in this country offer as wide
a scope of professional fields on a single campus.
None in the region has more nationally ranked
departments and only two or three Southern universities
are in a comparable position.
Nationally it ranks in the top third among 100 colleges and
universities receiving the largest amounts of federaffunds,
attesting the high quality of its faculty and research
programs.
The diversification and extent of campus programs
enables students to fulfill their intellectual objectives and
those for professional employment. With this variety the
University retains ability to appreciate individual students
and provides them, through small classes and advisement.
a means to express their special talents and interests.
Undergraduates have the broadening experience of
association within a university where the main professional
fields, plus arts and sciences, are represented by
undergraduate and graduate studies with research
opportunity immediately available. A strength of the
University is that its students range from freshmen to Ph.D.
candidates and professional postdoctorates.
With respect to 2,551 institutions of higher learning in the
country, the University of Florida's research-graduate
program can probably be ranked well within the top two
percent of all institutions of higher education. When the
undergraduate student comes to the University, he enters a
school whose tone and atmosphere have developed from a
long tradition of excellence. The undergraduate may be
taught by a research professor of international renown,
interact with graduate students in some courses, and work
in a major library designed for advanced instruction and
research.
With the breadth of educational and research programs,
opportunity for interdisciplinary effort and learning -
students and faculty investigators working together using
each others experience and knowledge -the University is
unlimited in its potential for service. Direct assistance to
segments of society by generating and applying knowledge
to solve current problems is an area of unique capability of
the University in serving the needs of the state and nation.
A statewide university, the University of Florida is a
comprehensive institution of exceptional quality. Florida's-
FIRST University, focusing its resources on solutions for
tomorrow.

HISTORICAL NOTE
The University of Florida is a combined state University
and land-grant college located in the northern center of the
State. While its beginnings go back to the days previous to
Florida's admission to the Union in 1845, its first
college the College of Arts and Sciences did not open
until 1853. A few years later the passage of the Morrill Act
provided lands for state institutions of higher learning
which would promote agriculture, mechanical arts and
military science, resulting in the beginnings of the College
of Agriculture, the College of Engineering, and the
Agricultural Experiment Station.
By 1905 there were a half-dozen state-supported
institutions of higher learning in Florida, located in various
parts of the State and struggling for existence. At that time
the Florida Legislature took a step unprecedented in the
history of education in any state by passing the Buckman
Act, which abolished the six State Colleges and provided for
the establishment of two new institutions, of which the
University of Florida was one. It was established for men, at
Gainesville and placed under the direction of the Board of
Control, a body created by the Buckman Act. The seven
members of the board represented the seven geographical
sections of the state, and served without compensation,
except for travel and incidental expense incurred in the
performance of duty. In 1947 the University was made
coeducational. The nine-member Board of Regents re-
placed the Board of Control in 1965.
SETTING AND ENVIRONMENT
The University of Florida is located in Gainesville, acityof
approximately 80,000, excluding University of Florida
students. Situated in north central Florida, midway between
the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, the city is known
as an agricultural and small industrial center.
In addition to a moderate climate, Gainesville offers many
other advantages to students of the University. A golf course
is within easy reach of the campus, and swimming and
boating accommodations are available at nearby springs
and rivers. The lakes in the vicinity abound in fresh water
fish, while the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico are
within a two hours' drive. As the seat of Alachua County, the
city is the focal point of diversified industrial and farming
activities.
Practically every religious denomination is represented in
the Gainesville area. Churches that are active include the
Presbyterian, Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist, Catholic,
Episcopal, Christian, Seventh Day Adventist, Church of
Christ Scientist, Church of Christ, Christian and Missionary
Alliance, Advent Christian, B'nai Israel, Church of Latter Day
Saints, Church of the Nazarene, Assemblyof God, Apostolic
Church of Christ, Church of God, Disciples of Christ,
Pentecostal Holiness, United Church of Christ, Unitarian-
Universalists, and several of these denominations maintain
chapels adjacent to the campus. These include St.
Augustine Chapel (Catholic Student Center), the Baptist
Student Union, Wesley Foundation (Methodist Student
Center), Chapel of the Incarnation (Episcopal Student
Center), Church of Christ, B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation
(Jewish), the Lutheran Student Association, the Latter Day
Saints (Mormon) and the Society of Friends (Quaker). All
the chapels carry on extensive programs of vital interest to
University students.
TRANSPORTATION
A schedule of daily bus service, with connections to all
points of the United States, is maintained by Southeastern
Greyhound Lines and Trailways Bus System. Eastern Airlines
serves Gainesville with daily flights with connections to all
parts of the U.S.
GOVERNMENT OF THE
UNIVERSITY
Direct supervision over the University of Florida, its
policies and affairs, is vested in the Board of Regents, a body
composed of nine citizens from different regions of the
state who are appointed by the Governor for nine-year
terms. University affairs are administered by the president
with the advice and assistance of the Administrative
Council. The legislative body of the University is the
University Senate.
ADMINISTRATIVE AFFAIRS
THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR ADMINISTRATIVE AFFAIRS is
the chief business officer of the University. He is
responsible for establishing policy relating to university
business matters; coordinating the preparation of and
control of the operating budget; collecting and disbursing
funds in accordance with state statutes; managing campus
security, auxiliary services and the maintenance of the
physical plant and grounds; directing purchasing, the
administrative computer, staff personnel, property control
and auditing functions.
ACADEMIC AFFAIRS
THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR ACADEMIC AFFAIRS is the
chief academic officer for the University. In this capacity he
supervises the allocation of resources in the academic
areas, the improvement of instruction, the correlation of
instructional activities, the development and improvement
of research activities, the evaluation of university academic
activity, and the establishment of policy with respect to
employment, promotion, and tenure of the academic staff.
In the absence of the President and Executive Vice President
he acts with the authority and responsibility of the
President.
QUARTER SYSTEM
The University of Florida operates on a quarter system. In
a twelve-month year there are four quarters running from

GENERAL INFORMATION
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONAL
UNITS SERVING ALL
COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS
THE DIVISION OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES is organized
within the College of Arts and Sciences to provide
coordination in the biological sciences. The Division, with
a staff from many disciplines, has organized faculties in
cellular biology, molecular biology, biophysics, develop-
mental biology, parasitology, marine biology, and radia-
tion biology. Each faculty is responsible for developing
and supervising a core program in its special area. In
addition to cross-departmental programs, the Division
serves to coordinate biological science wherever it exists
in the University, and to operate marine research stations
on both the east and west coasts of Florida. The division is
also responsible for handling the general education
biology program of the University College. The Depart-
ments o Zoology, Botany, Microbiology, and Biochemis-
try are the units composing the Division of Biological
Sciences.
THE INTERCOLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER AND
INFORMATION SCIENCES. During the last two decades
electronic information processing machines with capa-
bility many orders of magnitude beyond their predeces-
sors have come into being. Though still in their infancy
they are already extending man's capability to solve
problems in every field of human activity. Against this
background, the organization of a curriculum dedicated
to a broad sector of human endeavor was necessary.
Toward this end the Intercollege Department of Compu-
ter and Information Sciences was created in 1971 offering
degree programs in the Colleges of Arts and Sciences and
Engineering. Degree programs within other colleges are
currently under study.
Subject areas found within the CIS curricula are
concerned with representations and transformations of
information structures and with theoretical models for
such representations and transformations. In addition the
computer or information scientist is concerned with
systems having the ability to transform information and
the methodologies derived from broad areas of applica-
tions having common structures, processes and techni-
ques. This prepares the student for a wide range of
careers in the business, industrial, scientific, civic and
academic worlds wherein information flow and analysis is
of critical importance to decision making.
In addition to the degree programs, several service
courses are available for those who need experience in
computer applications for proper career preparation. For

THE FLORIDA STATE MUSEUM
The Florida State Museum was created by an act of the
Legislature in 1917 as a department of the University of
Florida. Through its affiliation with the University it carries
the dual responsibility as the State Museum of Florida and as
the University Museum.
The Museum operates as a center of research in
anthropology 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 Science, staffed
by scientists and technicians concerned with the study and
expansion of the research collections of animal animnd human
variation; Social Science, whose staff members are
concerned with the study of historic and prehistoric
cultures and plants; Interpretation, staffed by specialists in
the interpretation of knowledge through museum educa-
tion and exhibit techniques. Members of the scientific and
educational staff of the Museum hold dual appointments in
appropriate teaching departments. Through these appoint-
ments they participate in both the undergraduate and
graduate teaching programs.
Graduate assistantships are available in the Museum in
areas of specialization emphasized in its research programs.
Facilities are available for graduate students.
The Museum is located atthe corner of Museum Road and
Center Drive in a modern facility completed in 1970. The
public halls are open from nine-thirty until five o'clock every
day except Sunday, when they are open from one to five
o'clock. The Museum is closed on Christmas Day. There is
no admission charge. The Museum is frequently used by
University and public school classes.
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
collection both through gifts from friends and as the result
of research activities of the Museum staff. The archaeologi-
cal and ethnological collections are noteworthy. There are
extensive study collections of birds, mammals, mollusks,
reptiles, amphibians, fish invertebrate and vertebrate
fossils. Opportunities are provided for students, staff, and
visiting scientists to use the collections. Research and field
work are presently sponsored in the archaeological,
paleontological and zoological fields. Students interested in
these specialties should make application to the approp-
riate teaching department.
GENERAL STATE AND
UNIVERSITY AGENCIES
THE FLORIDA COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE is the
field arm of the University of Florida and the United States
Department of Agriculture in educational work relating to
agriculture and home economics and represents the total
University in community-oriented programs of continuing
education. It is one of four major divisions of the Institute of
Food and Agricultural Sciences at the University of Florida.
It works with both adults and youth, the latter primarily
through 4-H Clubs.
In cooperation with Boards of County Commissioners,
the Extension Service jointly employs agricultural agents in
67 counties. Extension home economics agents are
employed in 63 counties. These agents work with local
people to determine their educational needs. Programs are
developed based on these needs and are designed to teach
practical application of agricultural and home economics
research information. The agents are faculty members of
the University of Florida, appointees of the United States
Department of Agriculture and employees of their
respective counties.
Educational assistance is given the people of Florida on
agricultural problems such as commercial crop and
livestock production and marketing. Home economics
programs focus on helping families solve their problems in
such areas as clothing and textiles, food and nutrition,
housing, home furnishing, family life, home management,
family economics, health and safety, household equipment
and consumer education. Efforts also are directed to other
areas such as farm and home business management,
community development, leadership development and
public affairs.
A staff of specialists in agriculture and home economics
provides technical support for programs throughout the
state. These specialists keep in touch with the latest
observations and findings by the Florida Agricultural
Experiment Stations, the United States Department of
Agriculture, other Land-Grant Universities, and other
current, reliable sources of subject-matter information.
They analyze and interpret this information in terms of its
application to given areas and problems and keep the
agents informed on research of concern to the people e in the
counties. Cooperative efforts with organizations and other
agencies are vital parts of the programs over the state.
Information is disseminated by the Extension Service
through a variety of teaching methods such as demonstra-
tions, meetings, tours, visits to farms and homes where
individual attention is given to problems, and personal
contacts in offices or by telephone. Extensive use is made of
radio, television, news stories, and publications. Short
courses, institutes and conferences are held throughout the
state and on the campus in cooperation with agricultural
and home economics groups.
The State University System of Florida has been
developing a research and education program on the use of
our marine resources through the Sea Grant program
administered through NOAA in the U.S. Department of
Commerce. The Cooperative Extension Service has
responsibility for the Marine Advisory Program (MAP), the
educational component of this program for the State
University System.
A recent federal grant has made it possible for the
Universityof Florida and Florida A &M University to develop
GENERAL INFORMATION
a joint program through the Cooperative Extension Service
that will make the use of resources of the predominantly
Black Institution available to the people of Florida through
the Cooperative Extension Service.
The OFFICE OF UNIVERSITY RELATIONS is responsible
for the development of public relations, including visitor
reception, cooperating with all campus agencies and
organizations in the planning and implementation of their
public relations activities and serving as the University
representative with civic organizations which work with the
University and are not professionally related to a particular
school or college. University Relations coordinates with all
campus agencies dealing with off-campus publics in a
continuing effort to develop two-way communications with
the public and to encourage public support and
understanding of the University, its programs and higher
education.
The DIVISION OF INFORMATION AND PUBLICATIONS
SERVICES serves University academic units, departments,
service offices and other campus-related organizations by
distributing information through mass media outlets, and
providing communication services for the campus com-
munity. It interprets the University's programs, policies and
objectives through newspapers and magazines, radio and
television broadcasts, motion pictures, publications,
photographs, audio-visual presentations, special displays
and exhibits, and community relations projects. The
Division produces the University Digest printed in the
Independent Alligator, It assists other units with booklets,
folders, brochures, and other printed material by
coordinating copy content, design, and preliminary
production, and assists in preparing bid specifications for
printing.
The OFFICE OF DEVELOPMENTAND ALUMNI AFFAIRS is
the campus headquarters for the University of Florida
Alumni Association and the University of Florida Founda-
tion, Inc.
The University of Florida Alumni Association brings
together the organized efforts of alumni and the promotion
of the interests and needs of the University and strives to
encourage continuous participation by alumni in the life of
the University. Its programs support the University with
annual operating funds.
The University of Florida Foundation exists to encourage
support from the private sector to the University for both
operating and capital purposes. It is a private corporation
organized to hold funds for the benefit of the University, to
invest them and to insure the maximum value of the
University's private support.
THE UNIVERSITY CENTER OF THE ARTS serves students,
faculty, and the general public by presenting exhibitions
and performances of the best works in the visual and
performing arts.
THE UNIVERSITY GALLERY is an integral part of the
Architecture and Fine Arts complex. The Gallery is located
on the campus facing south 13th Street (or U.S. 441). An
atrium and a reflecting pool are two pleasing features of the
Gallery's distinctive architecture style. The Gallery, with
3000 square feet of display space, is completely modern,
air-conditioned and maintains a varied exhibition schedule
of the visual arts during the year. The content of exhibitions
displayed in the University gallery range from the
creations by traditional masters through to the latest and
most experimental works by the modern avant garde. The
minor arts of yesterday and today alongwith the creations of
oriental and primitive cultures form topics for exhibitions
scheduled. The Gallery originates one or two of the major
exhibitions during the year. Each exhibition shows for
approximately a month and the Gallery's hours are from 9
A.M. to 5 P.M. daily except Sunday when they are 1 P.M. to 5
P.M. The Gallery is closed on Saturdays and holidays and
during the month of September.
THE TEACHING GALLERY of the Department of Art is
located adjacent to the Department's office area on the third
floor of the new Classroom Building, in the College of
Architecture and Fine Arts complex. As a direct and physical
adjunct to the Art Department's teaching program this
Gallery displays smaller traveling exhibitions of merit as well
as one man shows by the faculty artists and student
exhibitions. The Gallery is open Monday through Friday
from 9 A.M. to noon and from 1:30 P.M. to5 P.M. It is closed
Saturday and Sundays.
THE CENTER FOR LATIN AMERICAN AND TROPICAL
ARTS is an interdisciplinary Center that provides coordina-
tion, direction, and focus to strengthen existing programs
related to the Fine Arts and the Building Arts within the
College of Architecture and Fine Arts. The Center's faculty is
bound together by a desire to relate their research and
teaching activities to the broader concepts concerned with
the fine and building arts of various world cultures. The
Center broadens and strengthens existing interdepartmen-
tal relations and provides additional stimuli and mechan-
isms for translating results of research into more viable
forms that relate directly to societal needs. It also
establishes more effective lines for the training of able
students at the undergraduate, graduate, and adult
education levels in various aspects of the fine and building
arts.
WRUF, STATE AND UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA RADIO
STATION operates on 850 KHZ with a power of 5,000 watts.
WRUF-FM operates on 103.7 MHZ on a radiated power of
27,000 watts. They are both affiliated with the National
Broadcasting Company and originate the University of
Florida Football and Basketball Networks. WRUF has one of
the largest recorded libraries of any radio station in the
country, and has Associated Press news service.
One of WRUF's more important functions is that of
furnishing practical experience to students enrolled in the
radio programs of the University. The extent to which this
policy is applied is demonstrated by the fact that the
operating personnel of WRUF consists almost entirely of
University students specializing in radio work, and the
effectiveness of this training is demonstrated by the
nationwide reputation which WRUF has achieved for the
developing of some of this country's leading announcers
and radio executives. The various radio curricula in addition
to providing this practical operating experience require a
selection of courses from many of the departments of
instruction of the University. The student is taught an
awareness of the social obligations placed on any medium
whose purposes include public entertainment, informa-
tion, education, and cultural advancement. He is given the
broadest possible background, to the end that the social
implications of radio as a medium for influencingthe public
may be recognized and acted upon. These are important
aspects of the program and should be the beginning of the
building of a breadth of viewpointon the part of the student
which he will continue to cultivate by reading and study
after he has completed the training program.
WRUF and WRUF-FM employ approximately thirty to forty
students in their operations which give these students
commercial operation experience as WRUF is a commer-
cial non-tax supported auxiliary of the University of
Florida.
All student personnel used by Stations WRUF and
WRUF-FM are selected and hired on the basis of necessity
on the part of the Stations, and talent, attitude, scholarship
requirements (2.0), fitness for job and future college
program on the part of the student as determined by
personal interviews and/or open auditions with and for the
Station's executive presonnel. Open auditions are an-
nounced publicly; however, preference is given those
applying who plan future activity in broadcasting.
WUFT, UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA EDUCATION TELEVI-
SION STATION, operates on Channel 5. It is affiliated with
PBS, the Public Broadcasting Service, the National
General
GENERAL INFORMATION
Association of Educational Broadcasters, and it is a unit of
the Florida Public Television Network.
WUFT's function is four-fold: (1) to provide an
educational and cultural service to the community so that as
many persons as possible may share in higher education
and its attendant cultural environment; (2) to assist in the
instructional role of the University through broadcast of

ORGANIZED RESEARCH
THE DIVISION OF SPONSORED RESEARCH was estab-
lished by an act of the legislature to support and to foster
sponsored research and training as a resource essential to
excellence in education and to provide maximum service to
the State. The Division is a development arm of the
University, coordinating its efforts closely with the Office of
Academic Affairs and the Graduate School.
All proposals for sponsorship or research, grants-in-aid,
and training grants are approved by the director.
Negotiations on administrative matters with potential
contracting agencies or sponsors of research and training
projects are carried out by the Division.
The activities of the Division of Sponsored Research are
intended to stimulate growth and to assist in expanding a
balanced research and training program throughout the
University. These activities are intimately related to the
support of the graduate and professional program. The
services provided are designed to relieve the principal
investigators in many departments of detailed administra-
tive and reporting duties connected with some sponsored
programs. The duties and responsibilities of the Division, of
course, do not supplant the prerogative of the principal
investigator who seeks sponsors for his own project nor
upon the responsibility of the investigator for the scientific
integrity of the project. In direct contacts between a
principal investigator and a potential sponsor, however,
coordination with the Division is necessary to insure
uniformity in contract requirements and to avoid
duplication of negotiations with the same sponsor.
The Division of Sponsored Research is administratively
responsible to the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
Policies and procedures for the Division are developed bya
board of directors working with the director within the
general framework of the administrative policies and
procedures of the University.
THE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATIONS, a division
of the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, are
responsible for extensive organized research leading to the
improvement of all phases of Florida's widely varied
agricultural production, processing and marketing. The
Stations are administered by the Dean for Research located
on the University of Florida campus and include main
station departments as well as Agricultural Research and
Education Centers operating as integral administrative
units. Added administrative units are Centers for
Environmental Protection and Rural Development; these
centers have a broad research responsibility which extends
across departments and other research and education
centers.
Many members of the research staff of the Agricultural
Experiment Stations are also members of the faculty of the
College of Agriculture as are some in the Agricultural
Extension Service. These three agricultural divisions of the
University work cooperatively in many areas under the
administration of the Vice President for Agricultural Affairs.
While agricultural research is the primary objective of the
Agricultural Experiment Stations, funds for graduate
assistants are made available to encourage graduate training
and professional scientific improvement.
Results of the research of the Agricultural Experiment
Stations are published in scientific journals, bulletins,
monographs, circulars, mimeographed reports and the
Sunshine State Agricultural Research Report and are
available to Florida residents usually without charge upon
request to the Editorial Department of the Agricultural
Experiment Station at Gainesville. The Agricultural
Experiment Station cooperates closely with the Agricultural
Extension Service in providing research findings for prompt
dissemination.
Research at the Main Station is conducted within 19
departments Agricultural Engineering, Agronomy,
Animal Science, Biochemistry, Botany, Dairy Science,
Entomology and Nematology, Food and Resource
Economics, Food Science, School of Forest Resources and
Conservation, Fruit Crops, Microbiology, Ornamental
Horticulture, Plant Pathology, Poultry Science, Soil Science,
Statistics, Vegetable Crops and Veterinary Science. In
addition to the above the Main Station has six units vital to
its research programs, namely: Editorial, Library, Field
Services and Business Service and Centers for Rural
Development and Environmental Programs.
In order to best serve the varied needs of Florida's
diversified agriculture, Agricultural Research and Education
Centers are located at numerous locations having different
climatic conditions, soil types and crops. Intensive research
is conducted in all fields of agriculture such as citrus,
vegetable, field crops, livestock, pastures and many others.
The Agricultural Research Centers and their locations, are
as follows: Monticello, Brooksville, Ft. Pierce, Immokalee,
Dover, Ft. Lauderdale, Hastings, Ona, Apopka, Marianna,
Live Oak, Leesburg, Lakeland, Jay and Ocala.
The Agricultural Research and Education Centers and
their locations, are as follows: Homestead, Belle Glade,
Bradenton, Lake Alfred, Quincy, Sanford, and Tallahassee.
The Florida Agricultural Experiment Station iscooperating
with the Brooksville Beef Cattle Research Station,
Brooksville, a USDA field laboratory, in its beef cattle and
pasture production and management programs, and with
the national Weather Service, Lakeland, in the Federal Frost
Warning Service for fruit and vegetable producers and
shippers, as well as cooperating with numerous Florida
agricultural agencies and organizations.
L__
GENERAL INFORMATION
THE FLORIDA ENGINEERING AND INDUSTRIAL EXPERI-
MENT STATION developed from early research activities of
the engineering faculty and was officially established in 1941
by the Legislature as an integral part of the College of
Engineering. Its mandate is "to organize and promote the
prosecution of research projects of engineering and related
sciences, with special reference to such of these problems
as are important to the industries of Florida."
The College and the Station are inextricably intert-
wined the two activities cannot be separated functional-
ly; they comprise the two arms of the whole engineering
body. In many instances a program initiated primarily as a
research entity has developed into a full-fledged academic
department of the College, demonstrating the close
interlocking relationship of the research and teaching
functions.
Each year a series of "Special EIES Projects" are selected
that are of high priority to Floridians. Examples are projects
on regional water management, beach stabilization,
pollution abatement, power plant site selection, stream
improvement and technology transfer.
The funding of these projects is often enhanced by
support from municipal, state or federal agencies, as well as
from grants from industries and foundations.
Since 1967, seven departments of the College of
Engineering and the Experiment Station have moved into
some 310,000 sq. ft. provided in seven modern new
buildings and one remodeled building. These improve-
ments, including equipment, have raised the value of the
physical plant of the College to over $13 million.
The laboratories, staff, and facilities of other divisions of
the University also are available to the Station research
faculty through many outstanding interdisciplinary prog-
rams. These research faculty members comprise the
teaching and lecture staff with whom the students come
into daily contact in the classroom. With the close
relationship that exists between teaching and research,
students are exposed to many engineering and industrial
problems normally not encompassed in a college program.
Moreover, the undergraduate students frequently find
employment on research projects as student assistants.
The Station receives only a small portion of its operating
revenue from the state. The major support of its research
activities is derived from contracts with government
agencies, foundations, and industrial organizations. Large
and small manufacturers avail themselves of the finest
engineering research laboratories in the Southeast. The
Station has superior facilities and staff in such fields as
microelectronics and integrated circuits; power systems;
metallurgy; ceramics; coastal and oceanographic engineer-
ing; soil mechanics; transport phenomena and fluid
dynamics; energy conversion, air and water pollution
control; electrochemistry; fast neutron physics; nuclear
rocket propulsion; dynamics and vibrations; communica-
tions; kinetics, ionics, gaseous electronics and plasmas,
and systems analysis, to name a few.
THE BUREAU OF RESEARCH is one of the activities of the
College of Architecture and Fine Arts. It fosters and
encourages research in all areas of the buildingarts and fine
arts. It also provides an opportunity for graduate students
and faculty members to engage in research and cooperate
effectively in research with other University departments
and institutions.
THE BUREAU OF ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS RESEARCH
is the Research Division of the College of Business
Administration. A part of the work of the Bureau is to
provide economic and business information about Florida.
A major source of this information is the FLORIDA
STATISTICAL ABSTRACT published annually by the Bureau.
The Bureau, through its Division of Population Studies,
makes annual estimates of population by city and county in
Florida as well as providing other data on the components of
population and growth. By published reports of special
research and through the monthly Economic Leaflets (sent
free to any resident of Florida upon request), quarterly
release of Population Studies, the bi-monthly Business and
Economic Dimensions, and special reports, the results of
research work are available to all residents of Florida.
Consultant services are rendered the business community,
civic groups, and government. The Bureau makes it possible
for teaching professors to engage in organized research and
provides research training for graduate students.
THE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION CLEARING SERVICE is a
research, publication, and service adjunct of the Depart-
ment of Political Science in the College of Arts and Sciences.
It carries on a continuous program of research on public
administration and public policy in Florida; it publishes
research and surveys of governmental and administrative
problems in both scientific and popular monograph form.
In addition, the Public Administration Clearing Service
coordinates the programs of instruction and public service
training in cooperation with other units of the University.
THE COMMUNICATION RESEARCH CENTER OF THE
COLLEGE OF JOURNALISM AND COMMUNICATIONS
conducts research in the news media, in broadcasting,
advertising, and public relations. The center is housed in
Room 400, Stadium.
THE FLORIDA WATER RESOURCES RESEARCH CENTER
which is funded by the Department of the Interior was
established in 1964 at the University of Florida as the result
of the passage of P.L. 88-379 The Water Resources
Research Act of 1964 -"to stimulate, sponsor, provide for,
and supplement present programs for conduct of research,
investigation, experiments, and the training of scientists in
the fields of water and of resources which affect water." The
Center's Director operates under the general policy
guidance of an advisory committee appointed by the
President of the University. Research projects administered
by the Center and pertaining to the achievement of
adequate state wide water resource management, water
quality and water quantity are being conducted by
professors in various departments at the University of
Florida, and other colleges and universities in the State.
Graduate assistants may be employed on these projects or
other activities of the Center.
THE URBAN AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT CENTER
is the University unit responsible for coordinating and
encouraging the development of interdisciplinary research
in and of urban areas, graduate curriculum and training
programs in urban studies and the establishment of liaison
between the University and urban areas. It is administered
by a Director who is responsible to the Vice President for
Academic Affairs.
THE DIVISION OF PLANNING AND ANALYSIS performs
the analysis and does the planning required to ensure that
available resources will be used to accomplish the goals of
the manyand diverse programs of the University of Florida
at minimum long-range cost. Work is carried out bythe staff
and related committees in the areas of campus planning,
budgeting and space assignment.
COMPUTATIONAL FACILITIES
In addition to numerous small digital computers and at
least three hybrid computers located on the campus, the
University of Florida houses the central facilities of the
Northeast Regional Data (Processing) Center (NERDC) of
the State University System of Florida. These facilities,
which are available to students and facultyat the University,
include an IBM System/370-165 computer with 2 Megabytes
of high-speed core, several-IBM 3330 disk drives and a 2311
drive, plus a number of 9-track tape drives and one 7-track
unit. In addition to the 165 and its peripheral devices, there
are an IBM 1401 and an offline Calcomp drum plotter.
General
GENERAL INFORMATION
NERDC supports both batch processing and well ovet a
hundred low-speed interactive terminals serving almost all
areas of the campus. These terminals support APL,
Coursewriter III, FLORTRAN (a locally written interactive
FORTRAN interpreter), BASIC, and ATS, in addition to
having an interactive file generation and editing capability
and the ability to be used for submission of batch jobs.
Limited output from batch jobs may also be routed to such
terminals. More extensive output is printed on either of the
two centrally located high-speed printers or at one of
several high-speed remote batch terminals on campus,
which are also available for submission of batch jobs.
Extensive software support is provided for batch proces-
sing, including both the major high-level languages and a
large number of program packages and special-purpose
languages.
The NERDC facilities are used for both instructional and
research, as well as for administrative, computing. In
addition to the hardware and software support mentioned
above, they include consulting and programming services
by highly qualified applications and systems programmers.
The staff of the NERDC also endeavors to facilitate
communication among users of its facilities and to
disseminate to them information from off campus which
may prove valuable to local computational endeavors.
More information about the NERDC is available through
its manuals and its newsletter,/Update.
THE i. HILLIS MILLER
HEALTH CENTER
THE J. HILLIS MILLER HEALTH CENTER at the University of
Florida in Gainesville is a modern complex of institutions
which advance human health and educate tomorrow's
leaders in the health professions.
It is housed in a building complex which includes the
College of Dentistry, the College of Health Related
Professions, the College of Medicine, the College of
Nursing, the College of Pharmacy and the Shands Teaching
Hospital and Clinics, which is its center for modern patient
care and clinical training of new health professionals. A
College of Veterinary Medicine is in planning stages.
The academic programs of the Health Center prepare
students to understand that tomorrow's health care must
focus on the community in order to achieve the
comprehensive health care of man. The programs help
them to understand that health care involves the health
team: the physician; the nurse; the dentist; the pharmacist;
persons in health related professions; the community; the
researcher; the educator; the counselor; that by training
together, and later by working together, these men and
women contribute more effectively to a person's well being.
The health-oriented professions exchange information
within the Health Center, and draw upon the other
resources of the University to further man's understanding
of health and illness.
Since the opening of its first units the Colleges of
Medicine and Nursing in 1956, the Health Center has
become a leading center for health care, education and
research in the natioi..
Located on the southern edge of the University of Florida
campus the Health Center was named for Dr. J. Hillis Miller,
late president of the University whose vision and
determination helped formulate the early planning of the
health complex as an integral part of the University.
The Health Center buildingcomplex includes the Medical
Sciences Building, the Shands Teaching Hospital and
Clinics, activated in 1958, the Pharmacy Research Wing,
opened in 1961, and the Jessie Ball duPont Building which
opened in 1967.
A building expansion program to provide needed
facilities for the educational programs of the Health Center
is nearing completion.
ACollege of Dentistry facility is under construction as part
of the health sciences building complex.
A Veterans Administration Hospital across from the
Health Center is engaged in programs of patient care,
teaching and research which are affiliated with the
programs in the Health Center's colleges.
The Jacksonville Hospitals Educational Program, Inc.
which offers educational opportunity in clinical fields to
students of the Health Center's colleges is an official
division of the University of Florida.
INSTITUTE OF FOOD AND
AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES
THE INSTITUTE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURAL
SCIENCES is the University of Florida's statewide
agricultural research and educational organization. IFAS
programs extend into every county and reach people in
virtually every community in Florida.
The primary mission of IFAS is to help Florida realize its
maximum potential for agricultural development, and to
contribute to the solution of many social, economic,
environmental and cultural problems of concern to the
people of the State. This is carried out through three
functions, resident instruction, research and extension,
carefully inter-related to provide a highly coordinated effort
for the benefit of Florida its citizens and its industry. This
effort is guided bythe Vice President for Agricultural Affairs.
The offices of the Vice President as well as the Deans for
Resident Instruction, Research and Extension are located
near the center of the campus in McCarty Hall.
Administrative offices of the School of Forest Resources and
Conservation are located in Rolfs Hall.
The resident instruction programs of IFAS, conducted
through the College of Agriculture and the School of Forest
Resources and Conservation, are concerned with educating
young men and women for the nation's growing and
increasingly complex agricultural industry. Their cur-
riculums for the different fields of study are structured to
provide the business, technological, and basic science
education necessary for graduates to meet the ever-
changing needs of a diverse and highly specialized
agriculture, as well as related businesses and industry.
Masters degree programs are offered in all academic
departments, and doctorate programs are offered in 14
specialties.
The research programs of IFAS are directed toward
developing new or improving existingtechnology to enable
Florida's agricultural industry to become more efficient and
improve its competitive position in relation to other
geographic areas; to improve consumer health and
nutrition; and to improve the social and economic
well-being of both producers and consumers of agricultural
commodities and resources. This effort is carried on at 21
research centers located throughout the state. Six of these
are designated as Research and Education Centers where
special emphasis is placed on all three phases of IFAS
programs instruction, research and extension.
Getting new knowledge directly to the people and
adopted in the most effective manner possible through
off-campus educational programs is the primary extension
function of IFAS. Through adoption of new knowledge,
Extension helps people improve their economic, social, and
cultural well-being in our ever changing and complex
society. This program is administered by the University of
Florida in cooperation with the various Boards of County
Commissioners and the United States Department of
Agriculture. Through the Extension offices in all 67 of
GENERAL INFORMATION
Florida's counties, the resources and services of the IFAS
and the University of Florida are available to the agricultural
industry and all Florida citizens.
A new Center for Environmental Programs and Natural
Resources was established in October 1973, reflecting the
expanding commitment of IFAS to solve some of the serious
environmental problems related to agriculture throughout
the state. Recognizing that there is a direct relationship
between maintaining and improving the environmentand a
viable agricultural industry, the Center focuses on such
research and education areas as aquatic weed control,
disposal of animal wastes, filtering of sewage effluent by
soil-plant systems, and reduction of fertilizer leaching into
streams, lakes and estuaries. The Center will coordinate all
IFAS research, extension, and resident instruction prog-
rams in natural resources and environmental quality and
works with other elements of the University and other state
universities in solving problems as they relate to agriculture.
The major goal is to protect managed agricultural
ecosystems from environmental damage, to integrate
environmentally acceptable practices into agricultural
production technology, and to protect and enhance the
quality of Florida's environment.
The Center for Community and Rural Development,
created in 1972, provides state-wide coordination of IFAS's
research and education efforts to improve economic and
living conditions of people residing in rural or non-
metropolitan areas. Programs of the Center include the
development and dissemination of production and
marketing technology applicable to operations, evaluation
of alternatives for providing public services to rural people,
assisting in developing programs to combat rural poverty,
and examining ways for developing the human and natural
resource base of rural areas. Social problems in rural areas
are also a concern of the Center. Through support of
undergraduate and graduate education the Center is
assisting in the training of young people to provide
leadership in planning and developing local programs.
Courses of study in the economics of environmental
quality, natural resource planning and development, rural
income and employment, and regional economic planning
help them make definite contributions toward improving
the economic and social conditions of non-urban areas.
In 1972 the State University System of Florida was
designated as a participant in the National Sea Grant
Program, with headquarters at the University of Florida. This
program, created by Congress in 1966, is concerned with
the wise development and use of the nation's marine
resources through a coordinated program of education,
research, and advisory services. Scientists in the state
universities conduct research on such areas as coastal
engineering, estuarine management, aquaculture, and
fisheries resources. Advisory services are provided by the
Marine Advisory Program (MAP) organized under the
Florida Cooperative Extension Service. Using the estab-
lished delivery system of the Extension Service and County
Extension Agents in coastal counties, MAP functions as the
communications transfer link between researchers and
coastal zone user groups. MAP specialists in coastal
engineering, food science, food and resource economics
and communications work closely with seafood processors,
fishermen, engineers, county extension agents, and
representatives from local organizations in applying the
results of Sea Grant research to practical problems.
The reputation of IFAS, as one of this nation's primary
sources of agricultural technology for the humid tropics,
has been firmly established. The International Programs
Office of IFAS, including the Center for Tropical
Agriculture, is responsible for coordinating efforts aimed at
helping to meet the needs of developing tropical countries
for experienced technical assistance personnel and
applicable quality training of their own people.
The agricultural programs of the University of Florida
have, without question, been a major contributing factor in
the developmentof Florida's multi-billion dollar agricultural
industry. The resources of these education, research and
development programs are committed to assisting all
segments of the agricultural industry and the people of
Florida.
THE CENTER FOR COOPERATIVE
EDUCATION
The Cooperative Education Program offers students an
opportunity to integrate their classroom instruction with
practical, off-campus work experience as a part of their
undergraduate and graduate programs.
Educational work assignments are selected for students
in career related fields with business, industry, govern-
ment and other professional employers located in Florida
and other parts of the United States. The Program gives
students an opportunity to test out their college majors
and career goals in the real world of work. For women
and other minority students, cooperative education gives
access and exposure to new, non-traditional professional
career options.
During the academic quarters when students are on
cooperative educational work assignments, they are
regularly enrolled as students at the University of Florida
and may earn academic credit for their work experience.

The Traveling Scholar Program affords graduate students
at State University System institutions an opportunity to
take course work or conduct research activities at any of the
other institutions in the System. Course work taken under
the auspices of the Traveling Scholar Program at another
university in the System will apply for graduate credit at the
student's home institution. The deans of the graduate
schools of the State universities are the coordinators of the
Program. For details regarding the Traveling Scholar
Program and approval to participate in it, a student must
apply to the dean of the graduate school on his home
campus.
UNDERGRADUATE
INTERINSTITUTIONAL
REGISTRATION PROGRAM
The Undergraduate Interinstitutional Registration Prog-
ram enables students at State University System institutions
to take advantage of special resources and programs
available on another campus in the System but not available
at their home institution, e.g., special course offerings,
research opportunities, unique laboratories, overseas study
programs, and library collections. Course work taken under
the Undergraduate Interinstitutional Registration Program
will be accepted for credit at the student's home institution.
A student must be recommended to participate in the.
Program by his own academic dean, who will initiate a
visiting arrangement with the appropriate dean at the host
institution.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
REQUIREMENTS
The results of a physical examination completed by your
physician or any Doctor of Medicine and reported on forms
supplied by the University Physician are required prior to
initial enrollment at the University of Florida. If your
application for admission is approved, the physical
examination form will be forwarded to you for completion
by your doctor and return to the University Physician. Your
report of physical examination should be received by the
University Physician, at least 2 weeks prior to your planned
date of entrance.
ADMISSIONS
ADMISSION AS A FRESHMAN
(APPLICANTS WHO HAVE NEVER ATTENDED COLLEGE)
When to Apply: No application will be considered for the
Freshman Class more than one year in advance of the date
on which entrance is sought. The best time to apply is the
early part of the senior year in Secondary School. Priority
in admission will be given to qualified applicants whose
applications are received in the Admissions Office prior to
March 1st for admission to the September class. Applica-
tions for the September class received after March 1st will
be considered on a "space available" basis only. The
deadlines for receipt of applications for other terms are
listed in the University Calendar.
Admission of students is on a selective basis. The
availability of community junior colleges and other state
universities in Florida has caused the Board of Regents to
assign to the University of Florida a role in the total state
system of higher education which demands that the
entering Freshman Class be limited in number. Such
limitation does not prevent students from attending the
upper division and professional schools of the University
since they may attend junior colleges or other universities
and, if qualified, subsequently transfer to the University's
upper division colleges in accordance with rules printed
elsewhere in this Catalog.
The requirements for admission set forth below are
designated to give priority to those applicants whose
potential on the basis of their record indicates the greatest
likelihood of success and the obtaining of maximum
benefits from the University College program at the
University of Florida.
A. Requirements for admission Florida students
For consideration a student must meet the following
minimums:
1. Graduation from an accredited secondary school.
2. Twelve academic units (such as English, Foreign
Language, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies).
3. A "C" average in academic courses.
4. A score in the top40 percent (total score of 300) on the
Florida Twelfth Grade Tests.
5. A record of good conduct. Major or continuing
difficulty with school or other authorities may make an
applicant ineligible regardless of his academic qualifica-
tions.
Any Florida student who meets the above minimum
admission requirements and is interested in attending the
University of Florida is urged to submit an application. The
University will do everything possible to accept all qualified
applicants who apply before the application deadline date.
If the number of qualified applicants exceeds the number
that the University is permitted to enroll, admission will be
on a selective basis. An applicant's total high school record
including grades, test scores, educational objective and
pattern of courses completed, rank in class, school
recommendation and personal record will be considered in
the selection process.
Composite pictures of recent freshman classes at the
University of Florida indicate that approximately 70 percent
score between 380-495 on the Florida Twelfth Grade
Placement Test which places them in the top 20 percent of
all secondary high school seniors. Approximately 50 percent
of each entering class has earned a "B" or better average in
high school academic subjects. While there is no minimum
grade average or test score which in itself assures a student
of admission or success in college, prospective freshmen
are urged to discuss the meaning and implication of these
data with their school counselors before decidingwhether
to apply for admission to the University of Florida.
B. Requirements for admission Non-Florida Students.
Because of a limited entering freshman class, only a small
number of highly qualified students from states other than
Florida may be admitted. The minimum requirements for
consideration are essentially the same as for Florida
students except that priority in admission will be given to
those applicants who present scores of at least 500 on each
section of the Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College
Entrance Examination Board and an academic average of
"B" or better.

FRESHMAN APPLICANTS
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACCELERATING COLLEGE
GRADUATION
Early Admission
Applications for Early Admission (i.e. admission following
completion of the junior year in high school) from superior
students are encouraged and will be considered on an
individual basis by the University's Admissions Committee.
Applications should be submitted in accordance with
deadlines published in the University Catalog.
In addition to the application, the following items are
needed for processing Early Admission applicants.
1. A written statement by the student setting forth
reasons for requesting early admission.
2. An official transcript of the applicant's secondary
school record covering the 9th, 10th and 11th years,
including final grades for the junior year. Generally, an
overall academic average of B+ is expected.
3. Results of either the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or
the Florida Twelfth Grade Placement Tests. Generally, a
score of approximately 600 on each section of the SAT or
a total score of 450 on the Twelfth Grade Tests is
expected.
4. A letter of recommendation from the student's high
school principal or guidance counselor. The letter
should give specific reasons as to why the applicant
would profit more from Early Admission than by
completion of the senior year in high school.
An applicant for Early Admission may be required to come
to the campus for interviews by members of the Admissions
Committee before a decision is made on the application.
The Admissions Office will advise the applicant if interviews
will be required after all of the above items have been
received and evaluated. IMPORTANT: Please note that an
appliiant should NOT report for interviews until advised by
the Admissions Office.
The University of Florida provides numerous oppor
tunities other than Early Admission by which a student
may accelerate graduation. For additional information,
please refer to the section of this catalog entitled Time
Shortened Degree Opportunities.
Florida scholars Program. One hundred gifted and
unusual students will be invited to begin their University
studies after eleventh grade in a special program offered
by University College and the College of Arts and
Sciences. After early admission through the procedure
described above, qualified students will be interviewed by
members of the Florida Scholars Committee. Each student
selected for participation in the Program will confer with a
faculty specialist in the student's proposed field of study.
This professor will continue as the student's mentor
throughout the undergraduate years; together they will
design an individual course of study leading to a
bachelor's degree from the College of Arts and Sciences.
General
ADMISSIONS

ADMISSION AS A TRANSFER
STUDENT TO UNDERGRADUATE
SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES
(APPLICANTS WHO HAVE ATTENDED ANY COLLEGE OR
UNIVERSITY, REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF TIME
SPENT IN ATTENDANCE OR CREDIT EARNED, ARE
CONSIDERED AS TRANSFER STUDENTS.)
When to Apply: Applications may be submitted not more
than one year in advance and applicants are strongly urged
to apply at least six months prior to the date they plan to
enter. Applications will not be accepted after the deadline
date for the term as indicated in the University Calendar
published in this catalog. The applicant who waits until
the last possible date to file his application may find that
he is unable to furnish the necessary supporting records
in time to permit a decision for the term in which he
desires to enter.
NOTE: In the undergraduate programs of the College of
Health Related Professions and the College of Pharmacy,
the sequence of professional courses begins ONLY in the
Fall Quarter of the Junior year. Applications for admission to
the College of Health Related Professions for September
enrollment must be received by the preceding March 15th.
In this section are listed the general requirements for
admission of undergraduate transfer students. It should be
observed, however, that ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY
IS A SELECTIVE PROCESS AND SATISFYING THESE
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS DOES NOT GUARANTEE
ACCEPTANCE. Attention is also directed to the fact that
some Upper Division colleges of the University have
established enrollment quotas because of limitations of
space and facilities. Transfer applicants who meet the
minimum admission requirements will be referred to the
selection committee of the appropriate college for
consideration of their enrollment within the college's
established quotas.
A transfer applicant should refer to the General
Information section of this catalog which deals with the
organization of the University for an explanation of the
University College (Lower Division) and the Upper Division.
If an applicant is accepted for admission, courses
completed at other accredited institutions with grades of
"D" or higher which reasonable parallel the curriculum of
the University of Florida will be accepted for transfer.
However, it is the prerogative of the college (within the
University) administering the work for the degree soughtto
determine how transfer credits may be used in satisfying
degree requirements. No more than 64 semester hours (96
quarter hours) of credittransferred from or through a junior
college may be applied toward the quantitative require-
ments for a University of Florida degree.
A. FLORIDA PUBLIC JUNIOR COLLEGE GRADUATES
This section applies ONLY to students seeking to transfer
directly from a Florida public junior college with the
Associate in Arts degree in a university parallel program. All
other junior college applicants and undergraduate transfer
applicants from four-year or upper division colleges and
universities should consult Section B which follows.)
The University of Florida subscribes to the Articulation
Agreement between the State Universities and Public unior
Colleges of Florida. Under this agreement, any graduate of a
State approved Florida public junior college is eligible for
admission to the University if the student has completed the
university parallel program and received the Associate in
Arts degree, provided the degree has been awarded on the
basis of the following:
1. At least 60 semester hours (90 quarter hours) of
academic work exclusive of occupational courses and
basic required physical education courses;
2. An approved general education program of at least 36
semester hours (54 quarter hours);
3. A grade point average of at least 2.0on a4.0 system on
all college level academic courses attempted.
NOTE: All applicants for admission to the University of
Florida must present scores on an acceptable general ability
test. In the case of applicants who have graduated from a
Florida public junior college with the Associate in Arts
degree, this information is required for counseling and
research purposes only and the score achieved on the test
will not be used as a criterion for admission. However, the
required test information must be received by the
Admissions Office before an application can be given final
approval. Please see item 4 Satisfactory test scores in the
following section for information concerning acceptable
tests.
Within space and fiscal limitations, applicants who have
satisfied the above minimum requirements will be
considered for admission at the junior level to an Upper
Division college. Such students may be required to take
additional pre-professional courses not completed at the
junior college. However, such courses will not reduce the
number of credits required in the Upper Division for a
degree.
ADMISSIONS
B. TRANSFER APPLICANTS OTHER THAN GRADUATES
FROM A FLORIDA PUBLIC JUNIOR COLLEGE
This section applies to students seeking to transfer from a
Florida public junior college without an Associate in Arts
degree in a university parallel program and to all
undergraduate transfer applicants from other colleges or
universities.
1. Requirements for admission to the University College.
1. Eligible for admission as a beginning Freshman. An
applicant must have been eligible for admission to the
University of Florida as a beginning Freshman in order to
be considered for admission to the University College as
a transfer student. (See section, ADMISSION AS A
FRESHMAN).
2. Good standing. An applicant must be in good
standing and eligible to return to any institution
previously attended. A student who for any reason will
not be allowed to return to an institution previously
attended cannot be considered for admission to the
University of Florida.
3. Satisfactory record: An applicant must have an
average of "C" or higher (as computed bythe University
of Florida) on all work attempted at each institution
previously attended. No application can be considered
until complete official transcripts of all the applicant's
undergraduate work are in the possession of the
Admissions Office. An official transcript must be
furnished from each institution attended regardless of
length of attendance or credit earned. Official
supplementary transcripts are required, as soon as they
are available, for any work completed after making
application. Since an average of "C" or higher is
required for graduation from the University of Florida,
one who has failed to maintain this average at another
institution is not eligible for admission. Regardless of the
average earned, courses completed at other institutions
must reasonably parallel the curriculum at the University
of Florida.
4. Satisfactory test scores: An applicant must present
satisfactory scores on an acceptable general ability test.
Any of the following tests may satisfy this test
requirement. If taken prior to first enrollment in college,
the Florida Twelfth Grade Placement Test, the Scholastic
Aptitude Test (SAT) of the College Entrance Examination
Board, or the American College Testing Program (ACT)
will be considered. Otherwise, the applicant should
furnish scores on the School and College Ability Test,
College Level (SCAT). The minimum acceptable score on
these tests will vary with the amount and quality of
academic study the applicant will have completed prior
to transfer.
5. Satisfactory conduct record: An applicant must
present a satisfactory conduct record. Regardless of
other qualifications, an applicant who has experienced
serious or continuing difficulty with school or other
authorities because of improper conduct may find his
application disapproved.
II. Requirements for admission to an Upper Division
College.
With the exception of item 1, an applicant for admission
to an Upper Division College must satisfy the requirements
listed above for admission to the University College. In
addition, the following requirements must also be satisfied:
1. Advanced Standing credit. An applicant must present
a minimum of 64 semester hours (or 96 quarter hours) of
acceptable college courses, not more than four semester
hours of which are in Military Science and/or basic
required Physical Education, as credit for advanced
standing.
2. Specific course requirements. An applicant must
present the courses listed as required for admission by
the Upper Division college of his choice, or acceptable
substitutes, as part of the courses offered for advanced
standing credit. (See appropriate college section of this
catalogg. Upon recommendation by the Upper Division
college, an applicant lacking some of the specific course
requirements may be permitted to enroll in that college
and complete them if he meets all other requirements
for admission, however, such Lower Division courses
will not reduce the number of credits required in the
Upper Division for a degree.
ADMISSION TO
THE GRADUATE SCHOOL
When to Apply: Applications can be accepted as late as
the final date listed in the University Calendar. Because the
final decision on admission to Graduate study has to be
made by the Colleges and time is required to prepare the
materials for their consideration, it is strongly urged that
applications be made well in advance of this final date.
Application for admission to the Graduate School must be
made to the Admissions Section, Office of the Registrar on
forms supplied by that office and at the times stipulated in
the University Calendar. Applications which meet minimum
standards for admission are referred to the graduate
selection committees of the various colleges and divisions
for approval or disapproval.
No application will be considered unless the complete
official transcripts of all the applicant's undergraduate and
graduate work are in the possession of the Admissions
Section and no transcript will be accepted as official unless it
is received directly from the Registrar of the institution in
which the work was done. Official supplementary
transcripts are required, as soon as they are available, for
any work completed after making application.
In general, no student who is a graduate of a
non-accredited institution will be considered for graduate
study in any unit of the University.
All foreign students whose native tongue is not English
making application for admission to the Graduate School of
the University of Florida must present their scores on TOEFL
(Testing of English as a Foreign Language). Each applicant is
asked to write TOEFL Educational Testing Service,
Princeton, New Jersey, U.S.A., requesting a Bulletin of
Information and registration form. It is important to
remember that final consideration can not be granted a
foreign student's application for admission until his scores
on this test are received by: Admission Section, Office of
The Registrar, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida,
U.S.A.
Undergraduate Record: Unqualified admission to the
Graduate School is dependent upon the presentation of a
baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or
curriculum with an average of B for the junior and senior
years. In some units of the Graduate School and on the
more advanced levels of graduate study, an undergraduate
average considerably above B may be required. In some
units admission may be considered with an undergraduate
average slightly below B. College graduate admission
selection committees take into account not only the general
grade average, but the distribution of work and the quality
and extent of preparation for the graduate program which
the student proposes to undertake.
While the general admissions requirements described
above apply to both master's and doctoral candidates, it
should be noted that doctoral candidates must meet certain
additional requirements, which vary according to the
programs, established by the departments and colleges.
Furthermore, it is desirable for students planning to enter
certain colleges and departments to have a reading
knowledge of one foreign language.
General
ADMISSIONS
Graduate Record Examination: A satisfactory average
score on the Graduate Record Examination is required for
admission. Each applicant for admission must submit scores
on the aptitude test of the GRE, but either at the request of
the department concerned or on his own volition, the
applicant is encouraged to submit in addition the score on
one or more advanced subject-matter test of the GRE. The
scores on all tests taken will be weighed in regard to
admission.
The GRE is given six times a year- in October,
December, January, February, April and June at a great
many locations in the United States, including Gainesville,
Florida. To determine exact dates and the most convenient
locations, students should write to the Educational Testing
Service, Princeton, New Jersey. Applications are required
several weeks prior to the examination, and scores are
received about a month after the examination. Hence, it is
necessary to apply for the GRE in early September for
admission in January, in early December for admission in
March, in early January for admission in June, and in early
March for admission in September. Other examinations are
given for which application must be made in November and
May but the ones listed above are correlated with admission
deadlines.
ADMISSION TO
THE COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY
When to Apply: The Application Request Card for the
American Association of Dental Schools Application Service
(AADSAS) may be obtained after May 15, from the Office of
Admissions, College of Dentistry. The request card should

City, Iowa 52240. Upon receiving the application materials
from the AADSAS, the completed forms and supporting
documents must be returned directly to the AADSAS no
later than October 15, of the year prior to anticipated
enrollment in dental school. Failure to meet this deadline
will prevent the Dental Admissions Committee from
evaluating your record.
The data compiled by the AADSAS will be carefully
evaluated by the Dental Admissions Committee and
promising applicants will be sent Formal Application forms
which request additional information. The submission of a
preprofessional committee evaluation or letters of
recommendation from people in academics will not be
necessary until the Formal Application forms are filed. The
Formal Application forms and supporting materials should
be submitted as early as possible, but no later than
November 15, of each application year.
The College of Dentistry aspires to attract students of the
highest caliber into its various programs. High standards of
scholastic achievement, moral character, and motivation
are expected of the appliiant. The student of dentistry must
possess a high basic aptitude supplemented byan academic
preparation of the highest order because of the vast area of
science which must be mastered by the dentist. The highly
personal relationship between patient and dentist places
the latter in a position of trust, which demands maturity,
integrity, intellectual honesty, and a sense of responsibility.
A broad representation of the ethnic mixture of the State is
sought in the student body through an active recruitment
program. The College strictly adheres to the principle of
ethnic, racial, religious and social equality among its
student body and faculty.
Generally, students applying for admission should plan to
complete the requirements for a bachelor's degree.
However, qualified students may be accepted without
fulfilling the degree requirements, provided they show
evidence of sufficient preparation for the study of dentistry.
Applicants with an overall "B" average as a minimum will
receive strongest consideration for admission to the
College of Dentistry. Applicants over the age of thirty rarely
will be given strong consideration.
Every applicant must take the Dental Admission Test,
preferably in the Spring preceding the submission of his
Initial Application or, at the latest, the Fall testing period.
The test is given three times a year at many college and
university testing centers. Following a review of all
application materials and Dental Admission Test scores by
the Dental Admissions Committee, interviews with
members of this Committee will be arranged for
competitive applicants.

CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS -
FLORIDA OR NON-FLORIDA
For the purpose of assessing registration fees, students
shall be classified as Florida and non-Florida. A Florida
student is a person who shall have resided and had his
domicile in the State of Florida for at least twelve (12)
months immediately preceding the first day of classes of the
current term.
In applying this policy "student" shall mean a person
admitted to the institution. If such person is a minor, it shall
mean parents, parent, or legal guardian of his or her person.
The word "minor" shall mean a person who has not
attained the age of 18 and whose disabilities of minority
have not been removed by reason of marriage or by a court
of competent jurisdiction.
The word "domicile" for fee-paying purposes shall
denote a person's true, fixed, and permanent home and
place of habitation. It is the place where he intends to
remain, and to which he expects to return when he leaves
without intending to establish a new domicile elsewhere.
The word "parent" shall mean a minor's father; or
mother; or if one parent has custody of his person, the
parent having custody; or if there is a guardian or legal
custodian of his person, then such guardian or legal
custodian.
In all applications for admission by students as citizens of
Florida, the applicant, or, if a minor, his parents or legal
guardian shall make and file with such application a written
statement under oath that such applicant is a bonafide
citizen, resident, and domiciliary of the State of Florida
entitled as such to admission upon the terms and conditions
prescribed for citizens, residents, and domiciliaries of the
State.
A non-Florida student is a person not meeting the
requirements outlined above. A non-Florida student (or if a
minor, his parent or parents) after having been a resident
and domiciliary of Florida for twelve months may apply for
and be granted reclassification prior to the first day of
classes of any subsequent term, provided, however, that
those students who are non-resident aliens or who are in
the United States on a non-immigration visa will not be
entitled to reclassification. However, for fee-paying
purposes, Cuban nationals will be considered as resident
aliens. Such applications shall complywith the provisions of
the preceding paragraph. In addition, the application for
reclassification must be accompanied by a certified copy of
a declaration of intention to establish domicile filed with the
Clerk of the Circuit Court as provided by Section 222.17,
Florida Statutes.
Unless the contrary appears to the satisfaction of the
registering authority of the institution at which a student is
registering it shall be presumed that:
1. The spouse of any person who is classified or is
eligible for classification as an in-state student is likewise
entitled to classification as an in-state student.
2. A minor whose parent is a member of the armed
forces and stationed in this state pursuant to military
orders is entitled to classification as an in-state student.
The student, while in continuous attendance, shall not
lose his residence when his parent is thereafter
transferred on military orders. A member of the armed
forces of the United States stationed in this state on
military orders shall be entitled to classification as an
in-state student while on active duty in this state
pursuant to such orders.
3. No person over the age of 18 years shall be deemed to
have gained residence while attending any educational
institution in this State as a full-time student, as such
status is defined by the Board of Regents, in the absence
of a clear demonstration that he has established domicile
in the State.
4. Any person who remains in this State when his
parent, having theretofore been domiciled in this
State, removes from this State, shall be entitled to
classification as a Florida student, so long as his
attendance at a school or schools in this State shall be
continuous. Attendance at a school or schools in this
State shall be deemed "continuous" if the person
claiming continuous attendance has been enrolled at a
school or schools in this State as a full-time student, as
such term is defined by the Board of Regents, for a
normal academic year in each calendar year, or the
appropriate portion or portions of such years, thereof,
since the beginning of the period for which continu-
ous attendance is claimed. Such persons need not
attend summer sessions or other intersessions beyond
the normal academic year in order to render atten-
dance "continuous."
Any student granted status as a Florida student which
status is based on a sworn statement which is false shall,
upon a determination of such falsity, be subject to such
disciplinary sanctions as may be imposed by the president
of the university, which sanctions may include permanent
expulsion from the State University System or any lesser
penalty.
The following categories shall be treated as Florida
residents for tuition purposes:
1. Veterans of the United States of America retired with
twenty (20) years or more of active military service,
including dependent members of their immediate
families, who are in Florida at the time of retirement, or
who move to Florida within one year following
retirement and intend to make Florida their permanent
home.
2. Full-time elementary, secondary, and junior college
faculty members under current teaching contracts in the
State of Florida.
3. Full-time faculty and career employees of the
University System and members of their immediate
families.
To establish Florida residence a student applying for
admission should complete the residence affidavit on the

development of each individual student so that he or she
might achieve their full potential as a human being. Staff
members strive to help students become self-directive in all
their activities. The staff feels it can most effectively be
helpful to students by reaching them "where they live," in
real life situations.
The purposes of the Office for Student Services are to
contribute to the attainment of the educational goals of the
University of Florida by: helping to structure appropriate
experiences for the intellectual, psychological, social and
physical development of each student; providing oppor-
tunities for students' need for personal attention; assisting
students in the development of their career objectives;
making students aware of and encouraging the use of the
resources of the university; interpreting the goals,
objectives, and actions of the institution to students;
encouraging the development of a sense of community
among students, faculty, and staff; helping students to
develop purpose in their lives a system of values of which
they are aware and a sense of personal integrity; and
assisting in the development of all university policy and
procedures.

Student Services at the University of Florida carries on these
functions: individual advising, student advising, coordina-
tion of social and vocational programs; fraternity and
sorority coordination, graduate student affairs, minority

HOUSING ADMINISTRATION AND STAFF
ORGANIZATION University residence halls have been
designed and organized to emphasize the importance of the
individual student in small living groups. Each hall provides
opportunities for formal and informal educational prog-
rams, together with social and recreational activities. Many
residents find their hall the center of their out-of-class
interests. What you will find depends largely upon your own
contribution to the life of your hall. Programs and activities
vary from hall to hall and from year to year, since they are
based on the needs and interests of the students
themselves.
STAFF-In all residence halls or housing areas,
professionally trained Directors of Residence Life, Resi-
dence Life Coordinators, Hall Advisers, and student
Resident Assistants are well qualified to assist with group
and individual activities, as well as with matters of personal
concern to student residents. In each living unit (floor or
section), resident assistants and student leaders provide
group leadership and guidance.
SELF GOVERNMENT-All students in the residence halls
are entitled to participate in organizational activities which
can play a significant part in their educational, cultural,
social, and recreational life. Officers and representatives
are elected to hall and area councils which govern group

tull opportunity for participation in the procedures of
democratic sell-government and for living.
In all residence halls, an annual activity fee of $5.00 is
collected and administered by the hall organization to meet
expenses of activities and programs.

blankets, pillows, and desk lamps may be rented at a
nominal cost.
TELEPHONE SERVICE Room telephones are available in
all of the residence halls except the halls designated as
co-ops. Each room telephone provides 24-hour service on

list of major apartment complexes rooming houses and
trailer parks accepted by it for referral. This list will be sent
upon request to anyone who has completed a Request for
Assistance with Off-Campus Housing. In addition to the
units contained in the comprehensive list, the Office hason
record several hundred units in small establishments to
which referrals are made after notice of availability is
received from the owners.
Since mutually satisfactory rentals usually can be
arranged only after a personal inspection of facilities and
conference with the owners, it is recommended that
persons seeking off-campus housing plan to come to
Gainesville in person at an appropriate time in advance of
the term for which they need housing. Such visits should be
made on week days not on a weekend and after
advance information has been procured. Appointments
may be made with the Office for consultation on particular
problems.
Single students (Freshmen) who are subject to the
on-campus residence requirements should not make any
commitments for off-campus housing until they obtain
permission for off-campus residence.
FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIES
Seventeen sororities and twenty-seven fraternities have
chapters at the University of Florida. Thirteen sororities
live in sorority house, two in apartments, and two in other
housing arrangements. Fourteen fraternities maintain
chapter houses on Fraternity Row (west campus), eleven
maintain off-campus houses (along 13th Street and
University Avenue), and two reside in residence halls.
University student regulations are in effect for all sorority
and fraternity houses.
COOPERATIVE LIVING ARRANGEMENTS

General
STUDENT AFFAIRS
co-op is in Buckman Hall. The other three are located off
campus.
Among the qualifications for membership are scholastic
ability and reference of good character. These cooperative
living groups are specifically operated by and for students
with limited financial means for attending the University.
Inquiries pertaining to cooperative living may be made to
the Director of Housing, University of Florida, Gainesville,
32611. The cooperative living organizations currently
include: the Reid Hall Co-op for men, Campus, University
of Florida; the Buckman Hall Co-op for women, Campus,
University of Florida; the Collegiate Living Organization,
117 N. W. 15th Street; Georgia Seagle Hall, 1002 West
University Avenue; and the Florida Student Housing and
Scholarship Foundation House, 1227 S. W. 4th Avenue.
STUDENT FINANCIAL AFFAIRS
The Office of Student Financial Affairs functions under
policies established by the Presidential Committee on
Student Financial Aid. Working in cooperation with the
Office for Student Services, student aid counselors
interview students pertainingto employment, loans, grants,
and scholarships. This office serves as an important part of
the academic and personal counseling and guidance of
students seeking financial assistance. In every case an
attempt is made to suggest a balance between self-support,
parental help and institutional loans, grants and scholar-
ships. In order to assess need of applicants on an equitable
basis, the University of Florida participates in the College
Scholarship Service of the College Entrance Examination
Board. Inquiries or applications for student financial aid and
scholarship awards should be addressed to the Director of
Student Financial Affairs.
All financial aid, i.e., scholarships, loans, grants, and
employment, is awarded as a "package" in response to
application submitted between November 1 and February
28 each year. While applications are accepted after February
28, the quantity and quality of aid is often affected by late
application.
Scholarships
Scholarships are available in limited numbers and within
fund limitations. Awards are given to applicants on the basis
of academic excellence, good character, leadership and
financial need. Additional awards are made by donors who
select the recipient directly. Hence, students are urged to
consult the resources of their home community, civic clubs,
service organizations, and county educators.
Employment
Employment is available to students on a part-time basis
while in school. Every effort is made to direct applicants to
positions that will forward their educational goals. In
general, first quarter freshmen are discouraged from
seeking employment until they establish themselves
academically. However, if the freshman feels he mustwork,
then he should make an application at the Office for Student
Financial Affairs.
Loans
Loans are available in two forms: (1) long-term loans
(including University of Florida, Federal, and State
programs); (2) small, emergency short-term loans. No
students should seek a short-term loan without a repayment
plan that does not depend on the approval of a university
long-term loan.
Grants
Grants using federal funds are awarded (within fund
limitations) to those studentswhose financial need qualifies
them for consideration. Applications are not made for a
grant as such, but awardees are selected from the student
financial aid applications submitted during the regular
application dates shown above. Exceptions to this rule are
the Federal Basic Opportunity Grant and the State Student
Assistance Grant. High School and Community College
Counselors should have applications and complete
information on these programs.
Awards
Awards are made to students in recognition of
exceptional achievement in various fields of student life. In
some instances these are cash grants; in others, medals,
certificates or keys.
UNIVERSITY CAREER PLANNING
AND PLACEMENT CENTER
Career Planning and Placement is a means of helping
students understand themselves through assistance in the
clarification of life goals, counseling in planning and
correlating educational and vocational objectives and
advice and guidance in making education and employer
contacts.
Students and alumni are offered information and
counseling on careers in general and jobs in particular so
that the individual can evaluate his employment needs in
relation to those of society. The service enables the
individual to choose circumspectly a suitable area of
interest through which he can assure his personal growth
and self-realization.
The Center is the central student Career Planning and
Placement Agency for the University. It functions as an
integral part of the total educational process of the
University of Florida. It is responsible for developing and
maintaining communication channels for the student to
faculty and staff, other educational institutions, business,
industry and government so that student needs and
interests relating to career preparation can be interpreted,
planned and implemented.
In sum, the Career Planning and Placement Center is

J. WAYNE REITZ UNION
The J. Wayne Reitz Union is the official center of campus
activities. The provision of facilities, services, and a varied
program of activities available to all persons of the
University "community" serves as the basic purpose of the
Union. The Union is governed by a Board of Managers,
consisting of eight students and six faculty members.
During May, 1967, the J. Wayne Reitz Union buildingwas
opened. Among the facilities and services offered are music
listening rooms, two art gallery areas, Arts and Crafts
Center, photographic dark rooms, browsing library, a
games area for bowling, billiards and table tennis, public
telephones, information desk, passenger and ride wanted
bulletin boards, display cases, barber shop, Union Store,
talent and band file. A large ballroom, an auditorium and
conference and meeting rooms are available for all
University organizations. Guest rooms are available for
official guests of the University, guests of students, faculty,
staff, and alumni.
The Reitz Union offers a complete range of food service
facilities and dining. A cafeteria and snack bar, a
restaurant-dining area, and complete catering services for
small, intimate groups or for a banquet for nine hundred
persons are included in the building.
Of particular significance to the educational program of
the University is the Student Activities Center, located on
the third floor. A distinctive physical arrangement of offices
and work space for Student Government, the Honor Court,
and many other student groups enhances the effectiveness
of the total student activities program of the University.
The Union plans and promotes many social, cultural, and
recreational activities for the campus community. Among
the regular activities are art exhibits, bridge lessons and
tournaments, current and cultural films. Special activities
such as receptions, dances, intracampus and intercollegiate
bridge, billiard and bowling tournaments, music apprecia-
tion listening hours, poetry hours, forums and book
reviews, fashion shows, international activities, and special
holiday parties are all a part of the Union program.
A distinctive area of the Union is the H. P. Constans
Theater, a 464-seat facility for the dramatic group, the
Florida Players, which provides excellence in design and
technical equipment for staging, lighting and acoustics.
PUBLIC FUNCTIONS OFFICE
The Public Functions Office is a clearing house for
scheduling and arranging campus public events. It is a
service and coordinating office to assist in avoiding
scheduling conflicts and provides a resource area for
disseminating information about campus activities.
The office is the official contact with the university Public
Functions Committee. Requests for approval of contracts,
facilities, and special events are submitted to the committee
through this office. All public events are registered through
the office and contracts with artists and lecturers are
approved by it.
STUDENT HEALTH SERVICE
The Student Health Service provides a spectrum of
medical services which includes primary medical care,
preventive medicine, health screening programs and
mental health consultation and counseling. These services
are available to all full-time students in the university.
The service consists of an out-patient clinic and a 24 bed
in-patient unit staffed by physicians, nurses, psychologists,
laboratory and x-ray technicians and supporting personnel.
It is housed in the Infirmary, which is centrally located on
the campus.
The service is a unit of the J. Hillis Miller Health Center
with its Colleges of Medicine, Nursing and Health Related
Professions. The facilities of the Health Center are available
by consultation and referral through the Student Health
Service. Specialty clinics are available in the Infirmary in
some fields.
The health fee is a part of the registration fee paid by all
full-time students. The fee covers ordinary out-patient
visits. Charges are made on a fee for service basis for lab
tests, x-rays and medications. There is also a daily room
charge for hospitalization in the Infirmary. The student
health insurance plan is designed to provide coverage for
those costs not covered by the student health fee. For this
reason, it is strongly recommended for all University of
Florida students. Enrollment is opened each quarter for all
students.
A medical history and physical examination and certain
immunizations are required before registration at the
University. However, a student transferring from another
institution in the State University System of Florida may have
his health record transferred from that school provided he
has been enrolled there within three quarters of the timeof
transfer.
SPEECH AND HEARING CLINICS
The Division of Speech Pathology and Audiology,
Department of Speech, offers services without charge to
any University student who has a speech or hearing
disorder. This assistance is available at any time during the

STUDENT ACTIVITIES AND
ORGANIZATIONS
Student Government: Student government in the
University of Florida is a cooperative organization based on
mutual confidence between the student body and the
faculty. Considerable authority has been granted the
Student Body for the regulation and conduct of student
affairs. The criterion in granting authority to the Student
Body has been the disposition of the students to accept
responsibility commensurate with the authority granted
them. Generally speaking, the fields of student activity
include regulation of extra-curricular affairs and the
administration of the Honor System.
Every full-time enrolled student, having paid his student
service and activity fee, is a member of the Student Body and
has an equal vote in its government.
The University of Florida faculty and staff feels that
training in acceptance of responsibility for the conduct of
student affairs at the University is a valuable part of the
educational growth of the individual student. The Student
Body is a body politic, occupying its franchise under grant
from the Board of Regents and subject to its continued
approval.
Student government is patterned on the state and
national form of government, but adapted to the local needs
of the Student Body. Powers are distributed into the three
branches: (1) legislative, which is embodied in the Student
Senate; (2) judicial, which is embodied in the Honor Court
with penal and civil jurisdiction of all judicial matters; (3)
executive, embodied in the President and the Treasurer of
the Student Body. Members of all three branches are
elected directly by the Student Body.
Interhall Council The purpose of the Interhall Council is
to provide an organization which will further serve as a
channel of communication between Residence Area
Councils, Student Government, and the Division of
Housing, as well as coordinating individual Area Council
activities and representing the collective interests of all
residents.
The voting membership of the Interhall Council consists
of two representatives from each of the Area Councils.
Dramatics: Any student has an opportunity to participate
in several plays which are presented each year by the Florida
Players, a dramatic group under the direction of the
Department of Speech.
Student Senate: The Student Senate is composed of
representatives elected from the colleges and living areas
on the campus and in general act as the Legislative Branch of
Student Government.
Religious Activities: The University of Florida welcomes
the contributions of religious traditions to the campus
community. The churches, centers and organizations
associated with the University offer a rich variety of
programs and ministries. There are also interdenomina-
tional and non-denominational activities fostered by the
University Religious Association, working with the
Coordinator of Religious Activities in the Department of
Religion.
Social Fraternities: Twenty-seven national social frater-
nities for men have established chapters at the University.
The general work of the fraternities is supervised by the
Interfraternity Council, composed of one delegate from
each of the representative fraternities. The national
fraternities at the University of Florida are Alpha Epsilon
Pi, Alpha Gamma Rho, Alpha Tau Omega, Beta Theta Pi,
Phi, Delta Chi, Delta Tau Delta, Delta Upsilon, Kappa
Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, Kappa Sigma, Lambda Chi Alpha,
Phi Delta Theta, Phi Kappa Tau, Phi Kappa Theta, Pi Kappa
Alpha, Pi Kappa Phi, Pi Lambda Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon,

Tau Kappa Epsilon, Theta Chi, and Omega Psi Phi.
Seventeen women's social sororities have established
chapters at the University. Thirteen have built chapter
houses, two live in apartments, and two live in other
housing arrangements. These living quarters serve as the
center of the activities of the individual sororities. Primary
jurisdiction in sorority matters is vested in the Panhellenic
Council. The chapters at the University of Florida are Alpha
Chi Omega, Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Epsilon Phi, Alpha
Omicron Pi, Chi Omega, Delta Delta Delta, Delta Gamma,
Delta Phi Epsilon, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Delta, Mu

publications, religious groups and others.
HONOR SYSTEM
THE HONOR SYSTEM. One of the finest tributes to the
character of the students at the University of Florida is the
General
STUDENT LIFE
fact that the Student Body is a self-governing group. The
details of the system by which this result is reached are
explained to all freshmen during the first week of their
enrollment in the University. However, each parent, as
well as each prospective student, is urged to read the
following discussion of the Honor System, as this phase of
student government forms the keystone of the entire
system.
In addition to permitting student legislation on
questions of interest to the members of the Student Body,
execution of the laws passed, and the expenditure of
student funds, the governing system at the University
gives to the students the privilege of disciplining
themselves through the Honor System. Inaugurated by
some of our greatest educators in higher institutions of
the University of Florida, the Honor System was finally
established in the entire University in 1914 as the result of
student initiative. This plan, having met with the approval
of all officials of the University, was given the sanction of
the Board of Regents, and student representatives were
selected by the students to administer the system.
Among the basic principles of an Honor System are the
convictions that self-discipline is the greatest builder ot
character, that responsibility is a prerequisite to self-
respect and that these are essential to the highest type of
education. Officials of the University and the Board of
Regents feel that students in the University of Florida
should be assumed to be honest and worthy of trust, and
they display this confidence by means of an Honor
System.
The success of the system is dependent upon the honor
of each individual member of the student body in that: (1)
he is duty-bound to abide by the principles of the Honor
Code, and (2) he is further pledged to report to the Honor
Court such violations of the Code as he may observe.
Many men and women coming to the University for the
first time feel hesitant about assuming this responsibility,
inasmuch as early school training has created feelings of
antipathy toward one who "tattle-tales" on a fellow-
student. The theory of an Honor System adequately
overcomes this natural reaction, however, when it is
realized that this system is a student institution itself, and
not a faculty measure for student discipline, and that to
be worthy of the advantages of the Honor System each
student must be strong enough to do his duty in this
regard. In this way the responsibility for each student's
conduct is placed where it must eventually rest-on
himself. In order to alleviate the burden on the student of
being considered a "tattle-tale", the Honor Court has
adopted the "stand and announce" procedure. Under this
procedure, if the student witnesses an Honor Court
offense he stands and announces it, and states that if it
doesn't cease he will report it. The rationale behind this
procedure is to stop offenses before they start.
The Honor Code of the Student Body is striking in its
simplicity; yet it embodies the fundamentals of sound
character. Each student is pledged to refrain from:
(a) cheating, (b) stealing, (c) obtaining money or credit
for worthless checks, (d) ticket scalping.
On the basis of this Code, students are extended all
privileges conceived to be the basic right of students of
honor. During examinations proctors may or may not be
used at the discretion of the professor.
A breach of the System may be flagrant and serious, or
it may be extenuated by circumstances. It may need only
mild corrective measures to help the violator obtain a
better conception of right and wrong; it may need strong
measures. To enforce the System equitably the students
have established the Honor Court.
The Honor Court is composed entirely of students and
is completely autonomous of faculty control. The
Chancellor sits as judge in each case and is responsible
for maintaining and enforcing the Honor System. Records
of all proceedings are kept by the Clerk. The Attorney
General and his staff of Prosecuting Counsel prosecute
the cases before the Court and the Chief Defense
Counsel and his staff of Defense Counsel defend the
student before the Court. There are justices, elected from
the various colleges on the campus, who are responsible
for investigations, and maintaining the Honor System. A
jury is empaneled at random from the Student Body to
decide the guilt or innocence of the student. The
Chancellor and Vice Chancellor determine the penalty
which can range from severe reprimand, or penalty hours,
to suspension or expulsion. A program has been initiated
to give non-academic penalties for non-academic of-
fenses. This policy is in accord with the principle that the
sentence should be educative rather than punitive. Any
student convicted by this Court has the right of appeal
from its ruling to the Honor Court Board of Masters and
to the Office for Student Services.
The penal purpose of the Honor Court receives less
stress, perhaps, than its educational purpose, which is its
most important function. The responsibility of acquainting
every member of the Student Body with the purpose,
advantages, and principles of the Honor System is placed
upon members of the Court. In line with this work,
members of the Honor Court participate in the
orientation programs each year, special programs are
conducted by the Honor Court during the school year.
Honor System talks are delivered in the high schools of
the State upon request and at regularly scheduled times
each spring, and radio programs are broadcast especially
for the high schools from Station WRUF in Gainesville.
Talks are also given to fraternities, sororities, and other
organizations on the campus. A brochure is printed and
distributed to each student and posters are placed in the
classrooms and residence halls to explain the Honor
System.
The Honor Court has endeavored to fulfill its
responsibility to the students who undertake the problem
of self-government and self-discipline at the University of
Florida.
The parent of every prospective student should feel that
it is his responsibility to stress the paramount importance
of honorable conduct on the part of his son or daughter
while in attendance at the University of Florida. Dishonest
action brings sorrow both to parent and student.
Because University students have proved worthy of the
trust and responsibility involved in administering an
Honor System, this feature of student government has
become the greatest tradition at the University of Florida.
It must be remembered that inasmuch as it is primarily a
student responsibility, the future of the system rests with
each new class of students entering the University.
The University faculty and administration pledge their
support to the Honor System. Each student must support
it or in failing to support it, contribute to the loss not only
of a cherished tradition but the right of self-government.
We at the University of Florida are fully cognizant that by
fostering and supporting the ideals of self-government as
reflected in student government, the support of American
Democracy will be more thoroughly imbedded in the
hearts of tomorrow's leaders.
INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
The University of Florida athletic program is a com-
prehensive one with teams competing against regional
and intersectional opponents in nine intercollegiate
sports.
Florida, a member of the Southeastern Conference, fields
athletic teams in football, basketball, cross country,
baseball, track, golf, tennis, wrestling and swimming.
Physical facilities include Florida Field stadium with a
seating capacity of 61,000 two baseball diamonds, a
STUDENT LIFE
completely equipped varsity tennis stadium, swimming
pool, running track, two football practice fields, an 18-hole
championship golf course and Florida Gymnasium,a facility
which houses ample dressing and training rooms, weight
rooms, meeting rooms, four practice courts and the 7,200
capacity varsity court.
Women's Intercollegiate Athletics are offered in
gymnastics, golf, swimming, tennis, track and field. The
program is operated under the Association of Intercol-
legiate Athletics for Women. Florida is in Region III.
INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS AND
RECREATION
Development of wholesome competition through
enjoyable participation in physical activities is an essential
aspect of a well-rounded college education. A successful
intramural program depends primarily upon student
interest in planning and executing the program as well as in
actual participation in various contests and recreational
activities.
Widespread student participation in intramural sports
and recreation is a tradition of long standing at the
University of Florida. The extensive offering of activities
provides every student an opportunity to take part as an
individual or as a member of a group in sports of a
competitive nature.
The Student Intramural Boards conduct the details of an
Intramural program comprising twenty sports ranging from
such individual and dual activities as archery, tennis, and
golf to such team sports as volleyball, basketball, and
softball. There are 16 leagues of competition included in the
program. These leagues are organized from sorority,
fraternity, dormitory, independent, law, engineering,
SAHPER and coeducational groups.
The Department of Intramural Athletics and Recreation
maintains a Recreational Sports Service which provides
other leisure time activities for students and faculty. This
service also provides complete information and guidance
for sports club activities. Where there is sufficient interest,
additional sports clubs are formed and individuals with
special ability in those areas are encouraged to act as
leaders.
Equipment is furnished for most activities and is made
available to any regularly enrolled student of the University
of Florida upon request.
Every student at the University of Florida is urged to
participate in intramural activities as interest and time
permits.
AUTOMOBILE AND TRAFFIC
REGULATIONS
Any student of the University of Florida is eligible to
register a motor vehicle for use as authorized and to operate
and park a registered vehicle on campus. The type of
parking decal issued is determined by the student's local
residence and class standing.
Students desiring to park on campus during restricted
hours (7:30 A.M. -3:30 P.M., Monday through Friday) must
register their automobiles or motorcycles at the University
Traffic and Parking Department, 1088 Johnson Hall, during
their first registration period. Failure to do so will result in a
parking citation. There is a system for fines and a point
system for on-campus vehicle violations. Persons failing to
respond to tickets will be subject to an additional
administrative fee of $5.00 and will not receive grades or an
academic transcript until delinquent fines and fees have
been paid.
A copy of the rules governing traffic, parking and
registration of vehicles on campus may be obtained from
the Traffic and Parking Department, the University Police
Station, or the Student Traffic Court. Each student is urged
to familiarize himself with these regulations upon
registering at the University.

14. Pending Charge of Honor Code or Code of Student
Conduct Violation: No degree will be conferred upon a
student against whom there is pending an unresolved
charge of either Honor Code or Code of Student
Conduct violation where the penalty for such violation
would likely be:
a. Penalty Hours
b. Suspension
c. Expulsion
d. Failing Grade
e. Any combination of the above until such time as
the charge is resolved and degree requirements are
met.
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM LOAD
Some colleges have a maximum load which is stated in the
catalog. In the absence of such a statement, the general
University regulation applies. This regulation allows a
maximum load of 15 credits for a student who earned an
average below a "C" the preceding quarter of attendance.
The minimum load for all students is 12 hours.
Simultaneous enrollment in correspondence courses,
extension work at another college or university is counted
in computing the maximum, but not the minimum load.
At the time of registration, a student, upon the approval of
his dean, may register for less than the minimum or more
than the maximum load. After the regular registration
period has closed, no student attending under the above
conditions will be permitted to drop below the minimum
load unless he successfully petitions the college in which he
is enrolled.The minimum load forfulltime benefits from the
VA or Social Security is 12 hours per quarter.
DUAL ENROLLMENT
1. Definition: Dual Enrollment, as used in this
regulation, refers to a student taking on-campus courses
simultaneously at BOTH the University of Florida and
another institution.
2. Dual Enrollment will be permitted ONLY under the
following conditions:
a. The student must have been admitted to the
University of Florida under the University's regular
admission policies. Even though he may have been
regularly admitted to another college or university, a
student must meet University of Florida admission
requirements in order to enroll at this institution.
b. Approval in writing for the dual enrollment must
have been secured by the student from the
appropriate official at EACH institution. A copy of
such approval must be furnished at the time of
registration to the registrar at the University of
Florida.
c. A student will not be permitted to register at the
University of Florida for a course which is a part of the
curriculum at the student's parent institution. This
requirement also applies if courses are available at
the parent institution which might be evaluated as
equivalent or acceptable substitutes for the Univer-
sity of Florida course. The converse of these
statements also applies to University of Florida
students registering for courses at another institu-
tion.
d. Priority in assignment to classes at the University
of Florida will be given to regularly enrolled students.
e. A student taking courses at the University of
Florida will be required to register and attend classes
under the University of Florida calendar.
f. The student will pay appropriate fees at the
University of Florida based on the number of credit
hours for which he is registered at this institution.
It is the student's responsibility to insure that an official
transcript of work completed under a dual registration is
forwarded to the parent institution. Certification to
selective service, social security and veterans administra-
tion programs is also the responsibility of the individual
student who must request each individual institution to
furnish records as might be necessary.
NON-DEGREE REGISTRATION
Anyone interested in registering for a course at the
University of Florida as a non-degree student may register
with a non-degree status. Registration will be on a space
available basis. Procedures for registeringare available from
the Registrar's Office.
GRADES
Results of student's work are recorded in the Registrar's
Office as follows:
1. Undergraduate Students: Passing grades are A, B, C,
D, in order of excellence, and S-Satisfactory. Failing
grades are E Failure, I Incomplete, U -
Unsatisfactory, X Absent from examination, EW -
Dropped for nonattendance or unsatisfactory work, and
WF Withdrew failing.
SGrades of I and X are considered as failing grades.
They must be changed to passing grades in accordance
with the dates set in the University Calendar, or be
counted as grades of E in considering a student's record
for graduation or in calculating averages.
In special situations where it is not possible to assign
regular grades at the end of the term, a deferred grade
may be assigned. The symbol for a deferred grade is a
grade of H. This grade may be assigned only in special
cases, such as modular course, confined to infirmary,
and similar circumstances. A grade of H will not be
computed in a student's grade point average.
2. Graduate students: Passing grades for graduate
students are A, B, C and S. Grades of "C" in courses
below 600-level are acceptable for credit toward
29
General
STUDENT ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
graduate degrees only if the total program meets the
B-average requirement. C grades in 600- and 700-level
courses count toward a graduate degree only if an equal
number of credit hours in courses numbered 600 or
above have been earned with a grade of A.
SATISFACTORY-UNSATISFACTORY GRADE OPTION
It is the University's desire to allow students to receive as
broad an education as possible. Therefore, students are
encouraged to take courses in disciplines in which they may
not have the proper background. They may take such
course work as electives and receive a grade of S -
satisfactory or U Unsatisfactory. These grades become a
part of a student's record, but do not count in the grade
point average. To be eligible to enroll underthe S-U option,
a student must 1) be in good standing- may not be on any
type of probation or warning, 2) be classified as an
undergraduate student, and 3) have approval from proper
university officials.
Only one course will ordinarily be approved in any one
quarter. Approvals for exception to this policy must be
obtained from the dean of the college in which the student
is registered. Standard exception Required Physical
Education courses may be taken under the S-U option
even when the option has been elected in another
course.
The deadline for electing the S-U option is the last day for
dropping a course as published in the calendar. In addition,
students who elect the S-U option may request that their
instructors assign a standard grade. The deadline for
requests is the last day for dropping a course.
AVERAGES
1. Definitions: The term "average," as used in any
university regulations concerning probation or suspen-
sion, always refers to the average on work attempted
at the University of Florida. Grades received at other
institutions are not averaged with grades received at
the University of Florida for the purpose of meeting
any University average requirement. Most honorary
societies take into consideration the quality of the
work done at other institutions in meeting any average
requirements they may have.
2. How computed: Averages are determined by
computing the ratio of grade points to quarter hours
recorded as attempted. Grade points are established
by equating each quarter hour as follows: A with 4.0, B
with 3.0, C with 2.0, D with 1.0, and E, WF, EW, I, and
X with 0.0. In computing averages, a course repeated is
counted as many times as grades for it are recorded,
unless forgiven under the forgiveness policy as
explained in item 4. Hours for grades of S and U are
not computed in the grade point average.
3. Grade Point Averages: A student's grade point
average will be based on his overall work at the
University of Florida. That is, when a student is
admitted to the University of Florida his grade point
average begins and his academic average will be based
upon work taken at the University of Florida. While
work transferred from other institutions toward a
degree program at the University of Florida will count
in total hours earned, such hours will not be a part of
the University of Florida grade point average.
4. Forgiveness Policy: Any student while registered as
a freshman or sophomore at the University of Florida
may repeat any course in which he or she made a
grade of "D" or "E" with the privilege of having the
repeated grade used in the calculation of grade point
average; this privilege will be limited to a maximum
total of ten (10) quarter credit hours. The record of
both attempts will remain on the official transcript, but
only the attempt resulting in the higher grade will be
used to satisfy graduation requirements and in the
calculation of grade point averages. Any student while
registered as a junior or senior will be given the same
privilege outlined above. However, the privilege will
be limited to a maximum total of five (5) quarter credit
hours.
PROBATION, SUSPENSION, AND
EXCLUSION FOR
ACADEMIC REASONS
The University of Florida is responsible for providing
the best possible education in an economical and efficient
manner. In order to discharge this responsibility, the
University expects and requires reasonable academic
progress from its students. Continuation of students who
ave demonstrated a lack of the necessary ability,
preparation, industry, or maturity to benefit reasonably
from a program of university study is inconsistent with the
University's responsibility as a tax supported institution.
The University of Florida Senate has enacted regulations
covering probation, suspension, and exclusion. These
regulations are directed toward enforcing the academic
standards of the University. The academic standards of
the University require both the maintenance of grade
point averages consistent with a reasonable chance of
satisfactory completion of the University programs and
reasonable conformance to the catalog description of the
program of study in which the student is engaged. Any
college of the University may specify additional academic
standards and students are responsible for observing the
regulations pertaining to such standards.
PROBATION BECAUSE OF
UNSATISFACTORY
ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT
The purpose of academic probation is to recognize
formally the fact that a student is not making satisfactory
progress.
The conditions of academic probation are intended to:
(1) relate to quality of achievement below standards
required to ultimately graduate; (2) recognize unsatisfac-
tory work at an early date; (3) be sufficiently significant to
make clear to the student, his parents, and the
administration, the shortcomings of the student's perfor-
mance; (4) provide occasion for counseling; (5) give
students whose ultimate success is doubtful further
opportunity to demonstrate adequate performance.
All undergraduate students:
A student with less that a 2.0 grade point average
overall for University of Florida work shall be placed on
scholarship warning if he has a grade point deficit which
is less than ten.
A student with less than a 2.0 grade point average
overall for University of Florida work shall be placed on
scholarship probation if he has a grade point deficit of ten
or more, but less than twenty.
Any student who is eligible to return to the University
after a suspension because of academic reasons will be
placed on final scholarship probation for his next quarter.
In addition to University probation, a student may be
placed on probation by the college in which he is
registered if he does not maintain normal academic
progress in the program of study in which he is engaged.
STUDENT ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
CONTINUATION OF PROBATION
All Undergraduate Students:
A student's scholarship warning shall be continued as
long as he has a grade point deficit of less than ten. A
student's scholarship probation shall be continued as long
as he has a grade point deficit of ten but less than twenty.
If his grade point deficit places him in another probation
category, he shall be subject to the provisions of that
category.
REMOVAL OF PROBATION
All Undergraduate Students:
Scholarship probation or scholarship warning will be
removed when a student's grade point deficit as been
reduced to zero.
Removal of college probation:
A student will be removed from college probation when
it is deemed by his college that he is making satisfactory
academic progress in the program of study in which he is
engaged.
SUSPENSION
The purpose of suspension from the University for
academic reasons is to remove from the University
community those students who would not ultimately meet
requirements for graduation if they continued at their
current level of progress.
The conditions of academic suspensions are intended
to (1) select students whose performance indicates that
they will not fulfill the requirements for graduation; (2)
encourage students to leave the University as soon as a
high probability of failure is evident.
All undergraduate students:
A student with a grade point deficit of twenty or more
in his University of Florida work shall be suspended from
the University for one quarter.
A student re-enrolling after a one quarter suspension
will be on final scholarship probation. If his grade point
deficit is twenty or more at the end of the quarter he
re-enrolls, he will be suspended without the possibility of
re-registering, except by committee action.
EARNING CREDIT
WHILE SUSPENDED
A student under any kind of suspension at the
University of Florida may not earn credit toward a degree
at the University of Florida by taking work in residence at
another institution or through extension or correspon-
dence courses.
However, a student who has not yet earned his
Associate of Arts Certificate who subsequently graduates
from an accredited Florida Community College may
appeal to the Petitions Committee for reinstatement. The
Petitions Committee may then, upon the recommenda-
tion of the college in which the student wishes to enter,
admit the student on academic probation to that college
or school. Credits earned by such students while under
suspension from the University of Florida may be transfer-
red in accordance with other rules and regulations of the
University of Florida.
EXCLUSION
All undergraduate students:
A student may be excluded from a program of study by
the college responsible for the program if he fails or
refuses to maintain normal academic progress. Such
exclusion does not necessarily prohibit the student from
enrolling in other programs or colleges if he meets the
requirements of another college.
Graduate students:
Any graduate student may be denied further registra-
tion in the University or in his graduate major when his
progress toward completion of his planned graduate
program becomes unsatisfactory. Unsatisfactory progress
has been defined by the Graduate Council to include
failure to maintain an accumulative average of B in all
work attempted in the Graduate School.
WITHDRAWALS
All undergraduate students:
It is the responsibility of each student to make every
effort to complete the full quarter at the University. If any
student withdraws after the date published in the catalog,
he or she shall be assigned grades of WF (withdrew
failing) in all courses, and will be subject to the
suspension and exclusion regulations.
A student on scholarship probation who withdraws
from the University prior to the final date published in the
catalog will be continued on scholarship probation for his
next quarter.
ABSENCES OR
UNSATISFACTORY WORK
Absences count from the first meeting of the class
rather than from the date the student first registers for a
class.
Students Classified 1 (Freshmen)
1. If any student accumulates absences or fails to do
class work to the extent that, in the opinion of the
instructor, further enrollment appears to be of
insufficient value for him to continue or detrimental to
the best interests of the class, it shall be the
responsibility of the instructor to warn such student in
writing that further absences or poor work will cause
him to be dropped from the class with a failing grade.
When possible, this warning should be delivered
personally; in addition to this procedure, a notification
should be given to the Office of the Registrar for
mailing to the proper address. All such warnings
should be reported immediately to the department
chairman.
Should any subsequent absences or failure to do
classwork occur, the student shall be dropped from
the class with a failing grade. The instructor should
initiate this procedure by giving the Registrar written
notice.
If the instructor is using a system whereby a given
number of absences is allowed, he is authorized to
give double "cuts" for any absence incurred during
the last class meeting before an official university
holiday and the first class meeting following an official
University holiday. For example, if a student cuts the
last class before Homecoming holiday, the instructor
would be authorized to count him absent twice.
If the instructor does not use such a system, he is,
after warning the class, either at the beginning of the
course or several periods in advance of the forth-
31
General
STUDENT ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
coming holiday, authorized to drop the offending
students) at once. When a student is dropped after a
class warning, the notice to the Registrar must so state.
2. NINE-DAY RULE: No student shall absent himself
from the University for more than nine scholastic days
per quarter in order to participate in athletic or in
extracurricular activities. (A scholastic day is any day
on which regular class work is scheduled.)
The nine-day rule applies to individual members of
the group rather than to the group as a whole.
Consequently, a schedule of more than nine days for
any group should be rotated so that no student is
absent from the campus for more than nine scholastic
days.
A student who has been warned for absences or
unsatisfactory work in any class should not incur
additional absences in that course, even though he has
not been absent from the University for nine scholastic
days. It is the responsibility of the student to see that
his class work and attendance are satisfactory.
Students classified other than 1 (Non-Freshmen):
Attendance in class is optional with students after
successful completion of the freshman year (45 quarter
hours credit). Nevertheless, students themselves remain
fully responsible for satisfying the entire range of
academic objectives as they are defined by the instructor
in any course.
Post Baccalaureate Students:
The probation, suspension, and exclusion regulations
that apply to undergraduate students also apply to
post-baccalaureate students.
CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS
Students will be classified by the Registrar each quarter
as follows:
0. Special transient or other non-degree students who
have been permitted to register at the University of
Florida will be classified as 0.
1. A student with less than 45 hours credit will be
classified as 1.
2. A student who has earned 45 quarter hours or
more, but less than 90, will be classified as 2.
3. A student who has earned 90 quarter hours or
more, but less than 135, will be classified as 3.
4. A student who has earned 135 quarter hours or
more will be classified as 4.
5. A student who is a candidate for a degree in a
program which normally requires 15 quarters and has
earned 180 quarter hours or more will be classified as
5.
6. Post-Baccalaureate students: Degree-holding stu-
dents who have been admitted to post-baccalaureate
status will be classified as 6.
7. Graduate School: Students admitted to the
Graduate School will be classified as 7.
PETITIONS AND APPEALS
In case the operation of a student academic regulation
appears to result in an undue hardship on an individual
student, he may petition for waiver of the regulation.
When petitions pertain to requests for change of
schedule after the date authorized for change, exceptions
to minimum-maximum load regulation, or permission to
drop a course without a failing grade after the drop date,
such petitions should be presented to the School or
College in which the student is enrolled. Petitions
approved by the School or College must be reported to
the Registrar's Office before the action becomes official.
All other petitions should be presented to the Registrar
who will refer them to the University Senate Committee
on Student Petitions. No petition for readmission may be
filed after regular registration has started for the quarter.
The student seeking waiver of a regulation through
petition must remember that no committee on petitions
can direct an instructor to reinstate a student dropped
from a course for absence or unsatisfactory work, nor can
the Senate Committee require any college or school to
grant a degree by waiving any of these regulations.
ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
All actions taken under these regulations shall be
reflected by appropriate notations on the student's
record.

General
TIME SHORTENED DEGREE OPPORTUNITIES
Time Shortened
Degree Opportunities
The University of Florida provides numerous oppor-
tunities by which the student may accelerate his academic
career and reduce the overall length of time spent in
completing degree requirements. These opportunities are
explained below:
1. Early Admission: The Early Admission program
allows superior students to be admitted to the
University following completion of the junior year in
high school. Applications are encouraged, and will be
considered on an individual basis by the Admissions
Committee. For additional information, refer to the
Admissions section of the catalog.
2. Dual Enrollment: Dual Enrollment refers to a
student taking on-campus courses simultaneously at
both the University of Florida and another institution.
For example, a high school student could register at
the University as a non-degree student. The credits
earned prior to high school graduation could then be
accepted for advanced standing placement and degree
credit when the student is admitted to the University.
For more information, high school students may refer
to the description of non-degree registration within
the Student Academic Regulations section.
University of Florida student may also earn addition-
al credit through the dual enrollment program. For
more information, reler to the discussion of dual
enrollment within the Student Academic Regulations
section.
3. Increased Course Load: Capable students who
register for more than the normal 15 hours per quarter
may complete the traditional four-year span within
three years.
4. Year-Round Attendance: Students attending the
University every quarter, including summer sessions,
may advance their graduation date by as much as three
quarters.
5. Credit by Examination: A student may participate in
a variety of credit by examination programs in order to
earn credit toward a degree awarded by the University
of Florida. A maximum of 45 credits may be awarded
through any combination of the Florida Twelfth Grade
Testing Program, the Advanced Placement Program,
and the College Level Examination Program General
Examinations. Credit received from one examination
program may not be duplicated by another. The
various credit by examination programs are explained
below:
Twelfth Grade Testing Honors Program: Any student
who earns a total score of 475 or above on the Florida
Twelfth Grade Testing Program may be awarded as many
as 36 quarter hours of college credit at the University of
Florida according to the following guidelines.
Advanced Placement Program: This credit by examina-
tion opportunity is sponsored by the College Entrance
Examination Board. Under this program, a student
entering the University offers a nationally graded
examination as evidence of his completion of a college
level course taken in high school. If the results of the
examination meet the minimum requirements listed
below, the student may receive University credit for
courses covering similar material.

scores, students may receive as many as 45 hours credit
toward completion of general education requirement.
Their scores on the CLEP general examinations must meet
the minimums established by the State University System.
CLEP testing is periodically avialable on the campus and is
administered by the Office of Instructional Resources.
In accord with the Articulation Agreement (agreement
between public junior colleges and public state univer-
sities on the acceptance of credit by transfer), the
University of Florida awards credit for CLEP scores at the

The University College offers programs in general
education and assists its students in selecting their major
prior to admission to the college from which they will
obtain their bachelor's degree. It awards an Associate of
Arts certificate to those who have successfully completed
96 credits of academic work, including the general
education course work required in their major.
ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT
Initial registration as a University College freshman for
each fall class is conducted during the preceding summer
months. Students and their parents have an opportunity
to attend one of several two-day programs. Notices
concerning this are mailed in the late spring to those
students who have been admitted by the University
Admissions Office. At these Summer Registration Prog-
rams, students and parents attend sessions relating to
career choice, student activities, helping services and
course selection. Each student meets with a University
College academic adviser who assists in selecting courses
to take in the fall.
Those fall students who cannot attend a Summer
Registration Program confer with academic advisers as a
part of the registration period held in the week prior to
the beginning of classes in the fall. Students entering
college in the winter, spring or summer quarters also have
advisement conferences as a part of the registration
period prior to classes.
In the latter part of each quarter, students register for
their next quarter. Again academic advisers are available
to discuss course selection. It is expected that students
shall accept responsibility for fulfilling curricular require-
ments as stated in the catalog and students who are
making successful progress are not required to see an
adviser when registering. Students who are changing
majors or who are not maintaining a "C" average should
talk to an adviser about course selection.
In the first few days of each quarter students should
review their course selection and add or drop courses if
needed to make a reasonable load for the quarter in view
of past grades and current goals. If, during the quarter, a
student feels he must drop a course because of illness or
other emergency he will find academic advisers in the
University College office available for discussion of the
problem. Advisers are also available to help the student
define any other academic problem and find corrective
measures.
COUNSELING AND
RELATED SERVICES
In addition to assistance from academic advisers,
University College students may find that one or more of
the following offices can be of assistance in solving
personal problems, career selection problems or prob-
lems relating to deficiencies in academic skills. The
Student Affairs section of this catalog describes their
specific services.
1. Reading and Study Skills Center
2. Speech and Hearing Center
3. Student Health Service
4. University Career Planning & Placement Center
In addition, the University Vocational and Psychological
Counseling Center provides professional psychological
services to students. These include vocational guidance,
career information, assistance with academic problems,
specialized testing, marriage counseling and personal
counseling. Any student may apply in person for such
services as he deems necessary. No charge is made. The
Counseling Center offers consultative services to Univer-
sity faculty and staff who are engaged in counseling
students. Close relationships are maintained with deans,
University College advisers, housing personnel, the Stu-
dent Health Service, and religious centers, for the
purpose of expediting both counseling and consultative
services.
METHODS OF
COLLEGE ACCELERATION
Details concerning acceleration are provided in the part
of the catalog entitled "TIME SHORTENED DEGREE
OPPORTUNITIES".
Students who obtain credit via CLEP, Advanced Place-
ment or the Twelfth Grade Testing Program are expected
to do so before starting college or, at the latest, prior to
the end of their first term at the university. Students who
obtain general education credit by examination may take
further work in the areas covered, using it for elective
credit. Some credit by examination may not serve to
accelerate a student's program because the specific
course requirements of his major are not satisfied by
general subject matter credit.
A student may choose to attend four academic quarters
each year. This would enable him to accomplish the work
of four academic years in three calendar years. Students
may take such summer work at their local junior college
prior to completion of 96 credits. After completion of 96
credits only work taken at accredited colleges or univer-
sities (not junior colleges) is accepted as transfer credit.
Students are urged to discuss any such plans with a
University College academic adviser prior to enrolling in
courses at another school.
Unusually able students may choose to accelerate by
carrying heavier than average course loads rather than
applying themselves more deeply to normal loads. In
some majors such a student might trim one to two
quarters off of the time required for his degree; however,
at considerable risk to the depth and quality of his
education.
SPECIAL COLLEGE PROGRAMS
1. THE SPECIAL SERVICES PROGRAM
This program is designed to give educationally disad-
vantaged students who qualify for admission by evidence
of strong motivation, and ability, assistance in developing
those academic skills needed for successful progress in
the University of Florida. The program consists of special
assistance in reading and study skills, structured study
experience via the precision teaching laboratory and
tutoring. In addition efforts are made to provide some
financial assistance in the form of jobs, loans or scholar-
ships for students engaged in the program. Admission to
the EEOP is selective and only a limited number of
students can be engaged.
2. THE COLLEGE HONORS PROGRAM
This program is limited to students from each entering
class who are issued special invitations to participate.
These students become members of small tutorial classes.
The small size of the classes and the high quality of the
students make possible deep penetration into course
materials and encourage independent work. The students
develop their critical faculties through extensive reading,
work on research papers, and oral performance in class.
UNIVERSITY" COLLEGE
The Associate of Arts with Honors is given to students
in the College Honors Program who qualify for the
certificate and who complete at least 27 quarter hours in
the program and have an overall 3.0 average. The
Associate of Arts with High Honors is given to students in
the Program if they complete at least 36 quarter hours in
the Program and have an overall 3.0 average.
3. THE FLORIDA SCHOLARS PROGRAM
Upon Early Admission to the University after completing
eleventh grade, a selected group of gifted and unusual
students may pursue individually designed programs of
study leading to a bachelor's degree from the College of
Arts and Sciences. For details, consult this catalog under
heading ADMISSION AS A FRESHMAN.
GENERAL EDUCATION AND THE
ASSOCIATE OF ARTS CERTIFICATE
The University College has primary responsibility for
the administration of the general education program of
the University. To this end its departments provide
general education courses and the college awards the
Associate of Arts Certificate of the University. All
graduates of the university are expected to complete the
general education program specified for their major and
receive the Associate of Arts Certificate prior to gradua-
tion. University college students may transfer to the
college of their major when that college approves. All
general education requirements will be met prior to
graduation from that college. Applications to change
college are obtained from the Registrar. Students who
maintain a 2.0 average may, barring suspension, remain in
the University College for the time needed to complete
requirements for admission to the college of their major.
In planning each quarter's program the student should
obtain some balance of general and special education, of
science and non-science. The undecided student should
be careful to make progress in his general education
while trying out courses in specific majors. Typically a
student completes the greater part of his general educa-
tion in the first two years while also taking the preprofes-
sional courses specified for his major.
The Associate of Arts Certificate will be awarded upon
completion of
1. 96 credits including authorized credits in general
education as indicated for the student's major.
2. An overall C average.
Application forms for the Associate of Arts Certificate
are available from the Registrar and should be returned to
him.
AUTHORIZED COURSES FOR
GENERAL EDUCATION
The following courses have been approved by the
University College for use in satisfying general education
requirements. In selecting from among these authorized
courses, the student should keep in mind that the general
education part of his university program should serve to
increase his fund of knowledge outside his major and
should broaden his intellectual horizons. He must not,
therefore, select courses in only one discipline nor use
courses within the scope of his major to satisfy general
education requirements. Only in strongly sequential and
crowded majors such as mathematics and science is it
permissible to use courses in the major for both
purposes. In selecting his courses the student should
study course descriptions in the back of the catalog, since
course titles alone give insufficient information. Stated
prerequisites must be adherred to. A student who wishes
to use a course not listed below for satisfaction of general
education requirements must have it authorized by a
University College academic adviser. University College
academic advisers are authorized to approve courses in
addition to those listed in satisfaction of general educa-
tion requirements when reasonable. They routinely do so
in the case of courses transferred from junior colleges and
other universities.

assure a minimum of breadth for students who may have
entered upper division by transfer from other institutions.
These "Basic Distribution" credit requirements and
course selection lists apply only to such students regis-
tered in the College of Arts and Sciences and do not apply
to University College students.
PRE-PROFESSIONAL REQUIREMENTS
A great amount of flexibility is available to the liberal
arts student.Certain general guidelines are:
1. Study the materials on admission, advisement, and
requirements for degrees in the Arts and Sciences
section of the catalog, and consult with the proposed
major department as soon as you have chosen a major
field.
2. Take courses in your major and take electives.
3. Begin a foreign language. Prior to graduation a
student must show proficiency in a foreign language
either by examination or by successful completion of
the third course of the three course beginning
sequence or a higher level course.
4. Complete one course in science having a laboratory,
prior to graduation (not necessarily prior to admission
to the upper division). A student may satisfy this
requirement while he is in the lower division by taking
CBS 264, or by successfully completing an Arts and
Sciences cou-be in science which has a laboratory. A
grade of at least C is required.
Teacher Preparation in Arts and Sciences
Students may earn their degrees in the College of Arts
and Sciences and complete requirements for certification
as high school teachers in one or more academic subjects

Programs described n the College of Education section in
this catalog.
Further information may be obtained in the College of
Arts and Sciences office, 113 Anderson Hall.
Computer and Information Sciences
A student may major in Computer and Information
Sciences through the College of Arts and Sciences. He is
expected, with the aid of his adviser, to satisfy the general
Arts and Sciences requirements. In addition during his
freshman year he should decide which of two sophomore
CIS sequences he wishes to take. Prior to the start of his
junior year he should decide which of three general areas
he wishes, each of which carries different course require-
ments.

C. Other considerations
1. The following courses may be taken in the
sophomore year or delayed until the junior year:
a. MSC 260 (Students must have a 2.0 average
and have completed 64 hours)
b. EH 491
2. Speech requirements may be completed in the
sophomore year or delayed until the junior year.
This requirement is met by successful completion
of SCH 201 or by successfully passing the speech
screening test administered by the Speech Deprt-
ment.
3. Prior to graduation a student must obtain at least
15 credits of specialization in one area. These 15
hours may be diversified within an area or they may
be in one specific subject included in one of the
following areas: Social Sciences (Sociology, An-
thropology, Economics, Geography, Political Sci-
ence, History, Religion, or Philosophy), Science
(Astronomy, Chemistry, Geology, Zoology, Botany,
Meteorology), Foreign Languages, Mathematics,
Psychology, Fine Arts (Art, Music), Language Arts
(English, Speech), or Health Education. Such
specialization may be completed in the junior and
senior years when 400 and 500-level courses may be
taken. One course in the area of specialization may
be taken on a Satisfactory-Unsatisfactory basis.
SECONDARY EDUCATION OR K-12 PROGRAMS
Secondary Education students wishing certification for
teaching in grades 7-12 may work toward degrees in either
the College of Education or the College of Arts and
Sciences.
Certain other programs prepare students for careers at
all levels of teaching from kindergarten through grade 12
(K-12). These special programs are:
Art (through either the College of Education or the
College of Architecture and Fine Arts)
Music (through either the College of Education or the
College of Architecture and Fine Arts)
Physical Education (through either the College of
Education or the College of Physical Education)
Special Education Mental Retardation (through the
College of Education)
Speech Pathology and Audiology (through either the
College of Education or the College of Arts and Sciences)
All secondary and K-12 programs are specified in the
College of Education section of the catalog.
All University College students working toward degrees
in Secondary Education or K-12 programs with the
exception of science education and music education will
pursue the following program:
GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS

One quarter of CBS or CPS may either be omitted or
taken as an elective.
Science education majors should take CY instead of
CPS and ZY and BTY instead of CBS. They should also take
MS courses instead of CMS.
Because of the nature of their program, music educa-
tion majors will take their general education requirements
over a four year period rather than only during the first
two years.
PRE-PROFESSIONAL REQUIREMENTS
A. General preparation requirements
At least 72 hours of general preparation are required
to include the courses outlined above plus elective
course work outside of the proposed teaching field at
the 100-, 200- or 300-level. These courses should be
chosen so as to further broaden the student's know-
ledge. To obtain breadth, students may distribute their
courses among several fields rather than concentrating
in one. Course work in areas of recognized weakness
is especially appropriate. A student must make a grade
of C or better in at least 54 of the 72 hours of general
preparation.
B. Teaching field requirements
These teaching fields are listed in the College of
Education section of the catalog together with course
requirements for each field. Some of these courses
can and should be taken while in the University
College.
C. Other requirements
1. At least 96 credits are required for admission to
upper division. The College of Education will
accept those students who present the best records
and show the most promise of success in a teacher
education program. See the College of Education
UNIVERSITY" COLLEGE
section of the catalog for further information
relating to admission to upper division.
D. Other considerations
1. Speech requirement may be completed in the
sophomore year or delayed until the junior year.
This requirement is met by successful completion
of SCH 201 or by successfully passing the speech
screening test administered by the Speech Depart-
ment. English and Language Arts majors may meet
this requirement only by successful completion of
SCH 201.
2. Psychological Foundations Course. (Students
must have completed 80 credits)
a. EDF 342 for Secondary Education
b. EDF 345 for Special Teaching Fields
3. Students who choose to work toward a teacher
education degree in a college other than the
College of Education should consult that college's
portion of the catalog for admission and graduation
requirements.
ENGINEERING
Essential Preparation: Modern engineering education
demands much in the way of specific high school
preparation not required in other college programs. The
beginning engineering student should have a good
understanding of the basic physical sciences, a highly
developed ability in mathematics, and the competence to
read rapidly and with comprehension. The College of
Engineering considers that a minimum adequate prepara-
tion would be substantially as follows:
The high school program should include the following
subjects:
Essentials Year
Elementary algebra....................... ... ............. 1
Intermediate and advanced algebra ........................ 1
Plane geom etry...................................................... 1
Trigonom etry........................................................... /2
Chemistry ............ .. .............. ........ 1
Physics............................ ... .... ..... ... 1
Desirable
Additional Mathematics ................. ... .................1/2
Deficiencies in the above subjects may be overcome by
registering in certain foundation courses before proceeding
with parts of the regular engineering program.
A student in University College may request transfer to
the College of Engineering at any time.
Freshman and Sophomore Requirements
The following program is designed for those students
whose high school preparation meets the above criteria. All
freshmen are required to consult with a College of
Engineering advisor in planning their academic programs.
High school records and test scores are reviewed and a
program of study commensurate with the student's
academic capabilities is assigned. This workload may range
from a minimum of 12 to as much as 20 credit hours per
quarter. A student of average academic capabilities and a
high order of motivation should be able to carry 15-16
credits each quarter and should thus be able to earn a
bachelor's degree in 13 quarters. If he pursues a normal
academic program of three quarters each year it will take
him four years and one quarter of the fifth to earn his B.S.
degree.

TECHNICIAN TRAINING
Sub-professional, technician-type training is not offered
at the University of Florida. However, the School of Forest
Resources and Conservation will be glad to provide
information regarding such programs conducted by a
number of "forest ranger" schools, one of which is located
in Florida.
HEALTH RELATED PROFESSIONS
University College sduents planning to apply for Upper
Division status in the College of Health Related Professions
are urged to study the section of the catalog dealingwith the
College and its programs in Medical Technology,
Occupational Therapy, and Physical Therapy. Special
attention should be given those paragraphs on admission
policies.
Limitations in available staff, faculty and facilities make it
necessary that the College reluctantly establish quotas for
the admission of students.
Each Department has its own application procedures. Pre-
professional students should contact the department of
their major objective as early as possible (Medical
Technology, Room 4111 in Jennings Hall; Occupational
Therapy, Room A-92, and Physical Therapy, Room A-98 in
the Shands Teaching Hospital). The sequence of profes-
sional courses in all programs begins only in the Fall Quarter
of the Junior Year. The deadline for receipt of applications
for September enrollment is the preceding March 15.

LAW
The College of Law offers a program leading to the
degree of Juris Doctor. Admission is limited to those with
a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or
university who have satisfactory undergraduate records
and have attained a satisfactory score on the Law School
Admission Test. Also offered is a one-year program
leading to the degree of Master of Laws in Taxation. This
program is open to those students who hold the J.D.
degree and who show significant potential for success in
the L.L.M. program. For detailed information on admis-
sion requirements, course and programs, see the College
of Law Catalog.
MEDICINE AND DENTISTRY
The College of Medicine and the College of Dentistry
are units of the University of Florida's J. Hillis Miller
Health Center, located on the main campus of the
University in Gainesville. Other units of the Health Center
are the Colleges of Nursing, Pharmacy, Health Related
Professions and the Shands Teaching Hospital and Clinics.
Educationally the programs of the Colleges of Medicine
and Dentistry are designed to provide the very finest
education possible in the scientific aspects of medicine.
The proximity of the Colleges to the University proper
offers an unusual opportunity for many of the varied
resources of the University to be applied not only to the
training of physicians but to the training of basic medical
scientists as well. While modern practice in patient care is
the central theme of the educational program, considera-
ble stress is placed on research and teaching in all fields
related to health.
For information on admission requirements and courses
for the program leading to the degree of Doctor of
Medicine or Doctor of Dentistry, see those college
bulletins.
For information on graduate programs in medical
sciences leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy
see the Graduate School Catalog.
PREMEDICAL AND PREDENTAL PROGRAMS
The University of Florida, rather than having a separate,
organized premedical or predental major program, allows
an undergraduate student to major in any field or college.
Medical and dental schools expect applicants to have
performed at a high level of academic accomplishment,
including basic work in science.
Freshman students planning careers in medicine and
dentistry should register with the Office of Preprofession-
al Education, 111 Anderson Hall, during their first quarter
at the University. Students who have selected a major in
Arts and Sciences are encouraged to apply for admission
to the College of Arts and Sciences at the end of the first
quarter of residence. Students transferring from other
colleges and universities should also register with this
office during their first quarter of residence.
In addition to serving as a central source of information
on all matters pertaining to the preprofessional curricula,
the Office of Preprofessional Education acts as a clearing-
house for information relating to medical and dental
school requirements and admission procedures. The
office provides students with academic advisers and
serves as a central office for forwarding recommendations
and evaluations to the schools selected by the student.
The Office of Preprofessional Education coordinates the
activities of the preprofessional advisers located in various
departments and provides them with current data and
procedures needed for effective advisement. Thus, fol-
lowing initial contact with this office, the student will be
assigned to an adviser who will help him plan a program
and upper division major best suited to the student's aims
and abilities. The adviser will remain aware of the
student's progress, and will inform the Office of Prepro-
fessional Education of changes in departmental majors,
academic difficulties and particularly academic excellence.
In the latter case, the adviser may recommend a student
for the Junior Honors Medical Program described below
.and/or for departmental honors programs.
Students who reach a decision to prepare themselves
for a career in medicine or dentistry during or after year
'one in college will usually have to complete requirements
at a more accelerated rate if they wish to graduate on
-schedule. The degree of acceleration should be discussed
with a preprofessional adviser.
Colleges
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE
PREMEDICAL PREDENTAL CURRICULAR OPTIONS
The premedical and predental student must satisfy the
following core requirements (usually prior to application
to the professional schools): 1) a complete general
chemistry sequence (terminating with CY 204, 213, 330 or
223), 2) a complete organic chemistry sequence
(terminating with CY 385 and 382 or 388), 3) 14 hours of
zoology (usually ZY 201, 202 and 301), 4) a complete
physics sequence (terminating with PS 213 and 223 or PS
217 and 227), and 5) analytic geometry and calculus (MS
301 and 302).
Premedical students wishing to qualify for the Universi-
ty of Miami Medical School must also complete ZY 301, ZY
310 and CY 341 prior to graduation.
STANDARD PROGRAM FOR YEAR ONE
Any sequence of general chemistry is acceptable. The
basis for choice among CY 201, 211, 221 (Honors), and 231
is outlined in the catalog section preceding chemistry
course listings. For qualified students the CY 231 sequ-
ence offers a number of advantages, including time
flexibility. MS 301 and 302 and ZY 201 should be
completed this year. American Institutions and English
requirements should be completed. Liberal arts elective
courses, a foreign language, and physics are among
options for students who have completed American
Institutions and English.
STANDARD PROGRAM FOR YEAR TWO
If a student has not finished general chemistry, it
should be completed in this year. Organic chemistry (the
CY 381 series) should be begun and completed this year.
CY 362 is not acceptable. Qualified students are advised
to consider application to the honors sequence (CY 387
and 388). Three quarters of zoology (ordinarily ZY 201, 202
and 301) should be completed by the end of this year.
BCH 351 may be elected during the second year as an
introduction to human molecular biology and biochemis-
try. Students should also complete the humanities re-
quirements. Students with available time might consider
completing either a physics or foreign language sequence
during this year. Those having a background in foreign
language prior to entering the University may satisfy all or
part of the foreign language requirement by taking a
proficiency examination.
Second-year premedical students who have a 3.5
average or higher and who have completed the above
core requirements may want to apply for admission to the
junior Honors Medical Program. This program allows
early acceptance to the University of Florida College of
Medicine and participation in third-year medical school
seminars. Interested students should contact the Assistant
Dean for Preprofessional Education in the College of
Medicine (128 Medical Sciences Building).
YEARS THREE AND FOUR
During year three students generally complete any core
requirements as yet unfilled. During year three or year
four the foreign language requirement must be com-
pleted. In the spring of year 3 the Medical College
Aptitude Test (MCAT) or Dental Aptitude Test (DAT)
should be taken. Application to medical or dental school
should take place during the summer between years three
and four.
The remainder of years 3 and 4 is devoted to comple-
tion of a departmental major and elective courses in
science and other areas. Medical and dental schools
attach no bias towards any particular major. Thus,
although most students major in one of the sciences, it is
equally possible and desirable to major in some other
area. In general, the better the student's record during
the first two years, the greater the latitude that student
will have in choice of a major. Since most students do
46
major in one of the sciences, the various common
premedical, predental science options are outlined
below.
1. Botany malor: Students planning a major in botany
through the College of Arts and Sciences should
schedule BTY 203 by Fall quarter of the third year (or
sooner if scheduling permits). During the third year
BTY 310, BTY 380 or 532, BTY 342 or 542, and ZY 325 or
AY 362, 363 should be completed. During the fourth
year BTY 301 should be scheduled. Remaining hours
needed for the major in botany will be chosen as
elective credits to meet the specific interest of the
student. Students interested in research or departmen-
tal honors should schedule BTY 499 during the fourth
year.
2. Chemistry major: If CY 330 has not been taken, CY
331 or 332 is required. A student may elect either the
physical chemistry sequence, CY 451-454 (MS 305 is
corequisite) or CY 341-343. Students who choose the
CY 341-343 sequence must also take either CY 431 or
432. Students interested in a research experience
should consider CY 499 in their last year.
3. Microbiology major: Students interested in a mic-
robiology major should schedule MCY 302 after at least
one quarter of organic chemistry (CY 381 or CY 387)
and after ZY 301. During the third year, MCY 302, BCH
511-512, BTY 203 and either ZY 325 or AY 362 should be
completed. During the fourth year, MCY 519 and/or
521, 510, or 520, 505, 506 or 507 should be completed.
Students interested in research leading to departmen-
tal honors should consider MCY 530. CY 331 must also
be taken during the fourth year.
4. Zoology major: A predental or premedical zoology
major must take ZY 325 and at least one course from
each of the following three sets:
a.) ZY 309, 310
b.) ZY 306, 308, 309, 318, 516
c.) ZY 510 or 505
At this point the student will have 34 hours of major
credit. Zoology courses in physiology (ZY 570, 574) or
histology (ZY 521) are appropriate electives to complete
the major. The student should also be aware of the
possibility of research experience through ZY 430. Two
quarters of ZY 430 are required for departmental honors.
5. Biochemistry: Although an undergraduate major is
not currently available, the undergraduate biochemis-
try program (see description under Biochemistry)
offers a comprehensive series of courses providing a
concentration in biochemistry and molecular biology.
Courses in the sequence BCH 351, 511, 512, 578 and
579 may supplement or substitute for comparable
courses in related major programs. Students desiring
research experience in this area should consider BCH
430.
6. Interdisciplinary major: This major, described else-
where in the Arts and Sciences section, is available for
superior predental and premedical students.
Transfer students who have received credit for the first
two years of college at another institution should have no
difficulty in adapting themselves to the above format with
the help of an adviser. Since relatively heavy weight is
placed by medical and dental schools upon the perfor-
mance of transfer students in their third year, such
students should plan on taking at least 30 hours in science
during the first three or four quarters at the University of
Florida.
Choice of electives: Medical and dental schools do not
appear to have any significant bias towards elective
courses chosen by students. These schools, in fact, look
with favor upon students who have shown broad interests
and educational development during their college career.
Commonly selected science electives include senior
research, BCH 351, BCH 511-512, MCY 302, ZY 570 and ZY
Colleges
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE
574. Students who have displayed academic weakness in
any of the required core course areas (especially 1-3)
generally are advised to offset such weaknesses by
stronger performances at a more advanced level. It should
be reemphasized that students applying to the University
of Miami School of Medicine must complete ZY 301, 310
and CY 341 prior to graduation regardless of their major.
Post-baccalaureate undergraduate work: Students who
have received a BS or BA degree and have not qualified
for medical or dental school because of a lack of quality
and/or quantity of premedical-predental work may want
to consider additional work at the undergraduate level to
make up these deficiencies. Students interested in this
possibility should consult the Director of the Office of
Preprofessional Education.
PREVETERINARY MEDICINE CURRICULUM
The core program and upper division major options
described above (particularly Zoology and Microbiology)
are suitable for preveterinary medicine students. In
addition to the core requirements, preveterinary medicine
students are required to submit credit totaling 13-15 hours
in Animal Science courses, of which 5 credit hours should
be taken in years 1 and 2. Students intending to make a
career of veterinary medicine should contact the Dean of
the College of Agriculture, 1001 McCarty Hall, for
advisement.

CERTIFICATE MINOR IN
ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES
A program for a minor (with certificate) in environmen-
tal studies has been developed. The program provides
course selection to obtain a broad knowledge of the
environment, especially the inter-relationships between
the activities of man and environmental quality. Students
enrolled in one of the existing major programs in the
College of Agriculture and for this minor will learn to
apply their major discipline to the solution of environ-
mental problems.
The environmental studies minor will include environ-
mental courses in three basic groups as follows:
biological sciences, physical sciences, and social sciences.
At least one course from each of these three groups is
required. A minimum of 18 quarter hours credit is
required for the minor. Courses required for the major
cannot be counted toward the minor requirement. A
minimum of three hours outside the College of
Agriculture is required.
The courses required for this minor will be determined
by the students in consultation with their departmental
advisor from an approved list of courses prepared by the
department, the College of Agriculture and the Universi-
ty. In most cases these requirements may be met through
a wise choice of electives. Students interested in this
minor should consult their departmental advisor.
PRE-VETERINARY MEDICINE
In accordance with the Regional Plan for Veterinary
Education a limited number of bona fide residents of
Colleges
COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE
Florida are admitted each fall to the School of Veterinary
Medicine, Auburn University; to the School of Veterinary
Medicine, Tuskegee Institute; and to the College of
Veterinary Medicine, Ohio State University.
The minimum educational entrance requirement is the
satisfactory completion of a prescribed course of study in
an approved, accredited college or university. A total of
125 quarter hours of college work must be completed
with no grade less than C and a grade point average of at
least 2.25. Required courses include general chemistry
and qualitative analysis, organic chemistry, mathematics,
physics, English, American Institutions, botany, zoology,
microbiology, medical vocabulary or a foreign language,
certain animal science courses, and electives. In addition,
applicants must meet military and physical fitness
requirements in effect at the institution attended.
Because of the rigid course requirements, most
students require somewhat more than two years to
complete this curriculum. Also, since certification and
admission to Veterinary School is competitive, based on a
quota under the Regional Education Plan, students usually
need to make considerably more than the minimum grade
point average of 2.25.
Pre-veterinary students should consult the Dean of the
College of Agriculture before registering for the pre-
veterinary curriculum.
Residents of Florida who will have completed the
pre-veterinary requirements in June of the year that
entrance into the School of Veterinary Medicine is desired
in the fall, and who wish to be included in the State's list
of eligibles, should contact the Dean of the College of
Agriculture.
The Department of Veterinary Science offers service
courses, but no curriculum leading to the D.V.M. or
baccalaureate degree. Students interested in a degree in
this field should consult with the Dean regarding courses
which are acceptable substitutes for requirements in
certain schools of veterinary medicine.
AGRICULTURAL AND
EXTENSION EDUCATION
The curriculum in Agricultural and Extension Education
meets the requirements for those interested in profes-
sional courses in agricultural education and the coopera-
tive extension service. It is designed to offer students a
combination of courses in technical agriculture, profes-
sional education and extension methodology which will

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION
The University of Florida and the College of Architec-
ture and Fine Arts encourage applications from qualified
students from all cultural, racial, religious and ethnic
groups. Listed below are the specific requirements for
admission to this College. It should be understood,
however, that minimum requirements are given and that
admission to the College is a selective process. The
satisfaction of minimum requirements does not automati-
cally guarantee admission. Limitations in available staff,
faculty and facilities make it necessary that the College
establish quotas for the admission of new students in
some programs. Therefore, eligible applicants will be
considered for admission to the College of Architecture
and Fine Arts within established quotas. A student's total
record, including educational objective, pattern or
courses previously completed, quality of previous
academic record, and test data will all be considered in
evaluating an application for admission. Priority in admis-
sion will be given to those applicants whose potential, on
the basis of their total record, indicates the greatest
likelihood of success in the program requested.
University College Students: To be eligible for admis-
sion to the College of Architecture and Fine Arts, a
University College student (except a student majoring in
music) must have: 1) earned at least 93-96 quarter hours
(varies with curricula) with the minimum average of "C"
or higher in the courses required by the appropriate
curriculum specified for the freshman and sophomore
years; and 2) passed all required pre-professional courses
within those two years with a minimum grade average of
"C". Admission to programs restricting enrollment be-
cause of space limitations may require that the student
earn higher than the 2.0 (C) average minimum. Quotas
will limit the admission of students based upon the overall
academic record, grade point average and apparent
potential for successful completion of the program. Music
majors may apply to the College of Architecture and Fine
Arts after one quarter in the University College.
Minimum grades required in certain courses and other
special requirements for admission to various curricula in
the College of Architecture and Fine Arts should be
obtained from the Dean's Office or from the departmental
advisor.
Transfer Students: To be eligible for admission to the
College of Architecture and Fine Arts a transfer student
must satisfy the minimum requirements for admission as
specified in the ADMISSIONS section of this catalog.
Additionally, the applicant must satisfy the following
specific requirements for admission to the College of
Architecture and Fine Arts.:
A. Transfers from four-year colleges.
Students attending four-year colleges should take
courses similar to the appropriate program as outlined in
this catalog.
B. Community College Transfers to Departments within
the College.
1. Curricula in Architecture: Transfer students
should expect to take up to three quarters of work to
complete the pre-professional courses not available
at the community college. Mathematics including
calculus and one year of physics with laboratory,
free-hand drawing, and perspective drawing with
instruments should be taken at the community
college if available.
2. Curriculum in Interior Design: Same as 1. above
except calculus and physics are not required. If
available, economics or accounting, free-hand
drawing and trignometry should be taken at the
community college.
3. Curriculum in Landscape Architecture: Transfer
Colleges
COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE AND FINE ARTS
students should expect to take a minimum of three
quarters to complete pre-professional courses not
available at the community college. Mathematics
including calculus, free-hand drawing, introductory
botany and general botany should be taken at the
community college. The physical science require-
ment may be fulfilled by one term of physical science
and one term of general physics (see program as
listed in the University College section of the
catalog).
STUDENTS PLANNING TO MAJOR IN ARCHITECTURE,
INTERIOR DESIGN OR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE WHO
COULD HAVE QUALIFIED FOR ADMISSION TO THE
UNIVERSITY AS BEGINNING FRESHMEN SHOULD, IF
POSSIBLE, TRANSFER AT THE END OF ONE YEAR.
4. Curriculum in Building Construction: The Depart-
ment of Building Construction welcomes transfer
students who have graduated from a junior or
community college with an Associate of Arts degree,
who have met the general education requirements of
the respective colleges; however, admission is on a
space available basis.
While any student meeting the above is acceptable,
he will find that he can proceed immediately with the
regular junior courses if he has completed the
pre-building construction program at his junior
college. Each Florida junior college has been
furnished a copy of a suggested pre-building
construction program. However, any student may
write the Department of Building Construction for a
copy. Those accepted students who have not
completed all the courses in the pre-building
construction program may take the remaining
courses at the University of Florida.
5. Curricula in Art: Where possible the junior college
program should include: two basic design courses, a
course in color theory, two free-hand drawing
courses, one basic painting course and a year of art
history. Courses not available at the junior college
will be taken after transfer to the University.
6. Curricula in Music: The junior college program
should include two years of music theory, including
ear training, sight singing and keyboard harmony;
two years of applied music major study; and two
years of ensemble. The primary criterion for
admission to any music major program is proficiency
in musical performance. Students are admitted tothe
program following completion of a satisfactory
in-person ortape-recorded audition, and completion
of a theory placement test.
7. Curriculum in Theatre: Same as 1. above except
calculus, physics, freehand and perspective drawing
are not required. If available, theatre appreciation,
oral interpretation, voice and articulation, acting,
theatre practice, stage makeup and stage movement
should be taken at the junior college.
Provisional Admission: The professional programs of our
College demand that pre-professional course-work begin
with the freshman year. Realizing that most of the schools
from which transfer students come do not offer all such
courses, the College provides an opportunity for
admissable students to remove these deficiencies.
Qualified transfer students, indicating potential, but not
having completed all pre-professional prerequisites, may
be admitted provisionally based upon space available. Due
to limitations in space and faculty all qualified students may
not be admissable. Students admitted provisionally will
register for the courses necessary to eliminate deficiencies
in the shortest time possible. Until these deficiencies are
removed they will be required to maintain a "C" (2.00)
average to be eligible for continued registration and may be
prevented from registering for courses numbered 300 or
above.
MAXIMUM AND
MINIMUM LOADS
Fifteen to eighteen quarter hours in any regular quarter
shall be considered a normal load. A student may be
permitted to register for more than eighteen quarter hours
when, in the opinion of his adviser, the quality of his record
justifies this. The minimum loadfor a full-time student in the
University during regular quarter is 12 hours. Atthe time of
registration a student, with the approval of the Dean, may
register for less than twelve quarter hours. If a student
wishes to drop courses during the quarter, thereby
reducing his load below twelve quarter hours, he must have
the approval of the College Committee on Student
Petitions.
NORMAL ACADEMIC PROGRESS
The student will have maintained normal academic
progress when he earns a minimum grade point of 2.0 (C)
average for all work attempted in the Upper Division. In
addition, he is required to take courses in a sequence as
specified by his departmental chairman or adviser. The
student may be excluded from a program of study in the
College of Architecture and Fine Arts if he fails or refuses to
maintain normal academic progress.
DEAN'S HONOR LIST
Undergraduate students who demonstrate excellence in
their academic work by completing a full course load
(minimum of 12 quarter hours credit) in a quarter term and
achieving a grade point average of 3.5 or better will earn a
position on the Dean's Honor List. Students whose term
averages are below 3.5 due to grades of I or X are not
eligible.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
To be eligible for graduation, the student must earn a
minimum grade point average of 2.0 (C) for all work
attempted in the appropriate curriculum while classified in
the College. Courses taken while enrolled in another Upper
Division College may not apply toward the calculation of the
AFA average. Specific grade requirements for the various
curricula may be obtained from the department or Dean's
Office.
Students planning to enter the Graduate School should
maintain a 3.0 (B) average in Upper Division work.
GRADUATION WITH HONORS
AND HIGH HONORS
The faculty will consider recommending students for
graduation with HONORS or HIGH HONORS on the
following criteria: (a) grade point average, (b) distribution
and quality of subject matter studied, (c) evaluation of the
student by the faculty, and (d) other pertinent qualities of
the student and his work.
The student will be considered for HONORS upon his
earning a minimum 3.2 academic average or for HIGH
HONORS upon his earning a 3.5 academic average. The
average will be calculated on all work attempted while the
student is classified in the Upper Division. Transfer credits
will be excluded from the average; HONORS or HIGH
HONORS may be awarded upon a minimum of 72 quarter
hour credits taken at the University of Florida.

IV. CURRICULUM IN BUILDING
CONSTRUCTION
Leading to the degree of Bachelor of Building Construction,
Halperin, D.A., Chairman; Johnson, L.A., Holland, H.F.,
and Grim, C., Jr., Advisers.
This four year program is for students who are interested
in preparing for professional careers in construction
science, management, techniques, operations, products
research, and related areas in the construction industry
rather than in architectural and engineering design.
Graduate programs leading to the degrees of Master of
Science in Building Construction and Master of Building
Construction are offered, see Graduate Catalog.
The freshman and sophomore program of study (see
section of catalog entitled Lower Division) is designed to
provide easy transfer for junior and community college
Associate of Arts graduates. All equivalent transfer courses
in these first two years are available at many junior and
community colleges. Thus, with proper course planning
many transfer students with A.A. degrees complete the
four-year degree program in six remaining quarters at the
University. Prospective junior and community college
transfer students should consult their advisers or write to
the Department of Building Construction for a pre-building
construction program of local study.
The construction industry and its related fields are in dire
need of young men and women educated in the arts of
communications and interpersonal relations and in areas of
construction science, management, techniques, and
operations. This curriculum provides education in all these
areas.
Students are especially attracted to construction because
of the creative excitement, the challenging and rewarding
opportunities offered and the sense of tangible accomplish-
ments. Opportunities for advancement and increasing
responsibilities are unlimited in all areas of the industry, a
few of which include land development; home building;
public building, industrialized building and systems;
commercial, industrial, marine, and heavy construction;
underwater and space age facilities; materials and
equipment distribution sales, and installations; construc-
tion product research, development, sales, and applica-
tions. Typical company titles of jobs accepted by graduating
seniors are: assistant project manager, field engineer,
project planner, cost engineer, project scheduler, and cost
analyst.
The department includes a chapter of Sigma Lambda Chi,
National Honorary Construction Fraternity, and the Student
Contractors and Builders Association. This association is an
affiliated student chapter of the National Association of
Home Builders and also of the Associated General
Contractors of America.

3. Pre-medical or pre-dental students, or students
who plan to major in mathematics, biological or
physical sciences, are advised to substitute subject-
matter courses in mathematics, botany, zoology,
chemistry, or physics for survey courses in these
areas.
4. Attempt to satisfy the foreign language require-
ment of the College prior to transfer. Fifteen
quarter hours of a foreign language with grades of
"C" or better, will meet this requirement.
5. Complete sequential courses prior to transfer.
Some courses are cumulative and represent a direct
continuation of work done in a previous course. It
is difficult to guarantee complete articulation of
such courses when they are offered in different
institutions.
6. Choose elective courses needed to complete 96
quarter hours of credit in the university transfer
program from courses that are offered at the
Freshman or Sophomore level at the University.
7. Earn a grade of "C" or better in each course
attempted. No course in which a grade of less than
"C" has been earned may be used to satisfy any
graduation requirement in the College of Arts and
Sciences.
8. Wait until after transfer to the University to take
courses in professional education if the student
expects to work toward certification to teach.
Special post-baccalaureate student (6AS): A student
who has received a baccalaureate degree but who is not
seeking admission to the Graduate School may, under
certain conditions, be admitted as a special student (6AS).
The applicant needs the recommendation of the chairman
or the graduate coordinator of the department in which
he wishes to work.
Graduate student (7AS): The general section of this
catalog dealing with admission describes certain minimum
requirements for admission of graduate students to the
University. Additional details for admission are given in
the Graduate School Catalog.
PROBATION AND EXCLUSION
A student who does not have a 2.0 average for all work
attempted in the University College or for all work
attempted or transferred into the College of Arts and
Sciences will be placed on a probation program and
required to make-up a specified number of grade points
each quarter until he has attained the required average. If
he fails to meet the terms of his probation, he may be
denied further registration in the College.
ADVISEMENT
Upon admission to the College of Arts and Sciences,
the student should contact the office of Student Academic
Affairs of the College, 113 Anderson Hall, for referral to an
academic adviser. Unless the student requests a change,
he will remain with this adviser so long as he is registered
as an undergraduate student in the College. The faculty
member's role in this process is only to give advice. The
student assumes the responsibility for fulfilling college
and departmental degree requirements.A computer
printout of the student's academic record will be fur-
nished for use during Advanced Registration each term.
The student is responsible for informing the keypunch
operator in 113 Anderson of corrections to this record.
Preprofessional Counseling: Like all other under-
graduate students, preprofessional students are referred
to an academic adviser through the office of Student
Academic Affairs of the College, Room 113 Anderson Hall.
For a detailed des ription ol co re requirements and major
options, see PREMEDICAL AND PREDENTAL PROGRAMS
in the University College section of this catalog.
GENERAL REGULATIONS
Student Responsibility: The student must assume full
responsibility for registering for the proper courses and
for fulfilling all requirements for his degree. He is also
responsible for completing all courses for which he is
registered.
Courses may be added any time during the first 3 days
of the quarter if this does not increase one's registration
to more than 19 hours. Courses may be dropped up to the
last day of class if this does not lower one's registration to
less than 12 hours, but a student is limited to a total of
three such drops during his upper division career. Any
course dropped or added after the normal University
drop-add period must be accompanied by an approval slip
from the Dean's Office (Anderson 113).
Seniors must file formal application for a degree in the
Office of the Registrar early in the quarter in which they
expect to receive the degree. The official calendar shows
the latest date on which this can be done.
Additionally, seniors who plan to graduate must have
their academic file reviewed in Room 113 Anderson Hall
one to two quarters prior to their graduation.
Maximum, Minimum and Normal Loads: The normal
course load in this College is 15 credit hours, and all
students are expected to carry a normal load. Loads which
are either lighter or heavier than normal must be justified
and approved by the student's academic adviser. Loads in
excess of the College maximum of 19 hours or below the
University minimum of 12 hours for a full-time student
require approval of the Dean as well as the student's
adviser.
Credit for Coursework Outside the College
General:
At the beginning of this section is a list of subject matter
fields in which credit for a degree in Arts and Sciences is
granted. The primary objective of this College is to provide
its students with a liberal education and it is the feeling of
the faculty that the fields listed are in general those which
are conducive to a liberal education. However, a student
may select for degree credit up to 10 hours of work from
other subject matter areas.
Colleges
COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES
Special Cases:
1. The minimum total of 186 hours required for the
bachelor's degree may include not more than 24 hours
credit in education provided the student follows an
approved program and becomes NCATE Certified. If a
student is in a certification program, therefore, the only
hours outside the college which could apply would be the
24 hours of education.
2. No more than 9 hours credit of ensemble music may be
included in the minimum total of 186 hours. (This does not
apply to Music majors).
3. In the first 96 hours of course work presented for
admission to Arts and Sciences a student may receive credit
for his degree for not more than 38 hours of work offered in
other upper division colleges.
4. An approved interdisciplinary major may include more
than 10 hours of course work in another College.
Registration in Graduate Courses: In accordance with the
rules of the Graduate School, undergraduate students may
not register in graduate courses (600 level and above)
without permission of the College Dean. This permission is
normally given only to students in their senior year who are
carrying not more than 17 hours and have an average of at
least 2.8. Students must present written approval from
both the instructor of the course and the graduate
coordinator of the department offering the course.
Registration beyond normal period for completion of
degree: Any student who has completed all of the academic
requirements for the Baccalaureate degree but has not
obtained the degree will be denied further registration in
the College. A student who has completed more than 15
hours beyond the normal minimum requirement for his
degree without receiving the degree, must obtain
permission of the Dean for further registration.
Student Petitions: If a student feels that the College
regulations work a peculiar hardship or injustice in his case,
he may petition for waiver of the regulation involved.
Information on procedure in submitting such petitions is
available in the Office of the Dean.
Other Student Regulations: The University issues a
bulletin entitled Student Handbook which contains much
information of essential importance to any student. For
example, the general regulations governing military training
and student employment are covered. Each student in the
College of Arts and Sciences should be familiar with this
material. Copies of the bulletin may be obtained at the
Office of the Registrar.
REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREES
BACHELOR OF ARTS AND BACHELOR OF SCIENCE
The programs which lead to the degrees Bachelor of Arts
or Bachelor of Science are alike in all basic requirements.
The degree Bachelor of Arts will be conferred upon those
who fulfill the requirements for degrees with majors in one
of the fields of American Studies, Anthropology, Art, Asian
Studies, Classical Studies, Criminal justice, Economics,
English, French, German, Greek, History, Latin, Music,

Microbiology, Physics, and Zoology.
The degree of Bachelor of Arts or Science will be
conferred upon those who fulfill the requirements for the
degree with a major in Computer and Information Science,
Geography, Mathematics, Psychology, Statistics, or an
Individual Interdisciplinary program. A major in one of
these subjects will lead to the Bachelor or Arts degree if the
majority of subsidiary and elective credits in the student's
entire program are earned in the humanities and/or social
sciences, and will lead to the Bachelor of Science degree if
such subsidiary and elective credits are science credits. The
requirements for graduation with either of these degrees
are as follows:
A minimum of 186 quarter hours credit (normally96 in the
lower division and 90 while registered in this College) with
an overall average of "C" or better in all work transferred to
or completed in the College and an overall average of "C" in
all work attempted at the University of Florida. NOTE: Some
credits approved by the Registrar as acceptable may not be
applicable toward the minimum degree requirements of
this College.
The degree program must include (1) a basicdistribution,
(2) a departmental or interdisciplinary major (3) a language
proficiency (4) elective requirement and (5) residence
requirement.
A. Basic Distribution Requirement
Normally this work will be completed before admission
to the College of Arts and Sciences. The requirement
includes:
8 hours credit in Social Sciences
8 hours credit in English
8 hours credit in Humanities
8 hours credit in Physical Sciences
8 hours credit in Biological Sciences
One course in mathematics No credit towards an
Arts and Sciences degree will be given for any course in
mathematics which is largely a repetition of igh school
algebra.
A minimum of one laboratory course in either he
physical or biological sciences must be included in the
above distribution. The student must earn a grade of "C"
or better in each of the courses taken to fulfill the
distribution requirement, and these courses may not be
taken under the S-U option. The following list specifies
courses which may be used to make up deficiencies in the
distribution requirement.
This list is for the information of transfer students
actually registering in the College of Arts and Sciences,
whose general education did not include at least the basic
distribution credits listed above. It is not a recommenda-
tion to students in other colleges nor is it intended to
satisfy the requirements of any other college. To qualify
for the Associate of Arts certificate, University College
students should complete general education require-
ments as described in the University college section ot
this catalog.

department that has a regularly scheduled laboratory.
Also GPY 300; CBS 264, PSY 420, PSY 439, PSY 444, PSY
472, PSY 510, PSY 572.
B. The Major
1. Departmental Majors: A departmental major con-
sists of a concentration of course work in a specific
department. A list of majors available in the college
can be found at the beginning of the Arts and Sciences
section of the catalog. The number of credit hours
required for a major will vary from department to
department, but in no case may the number of hours
required be fewer than 36 hours or more than 60 hours
in the major department. The student should check
the major requirements in the section of the catalog
which lists the courses offered by his major depart-
ment. Some departments may require subsidiary
courses from subject-matter fields other than the
major. No courses in the major in which the grade
earned is below "C" will be counted toward the
fulfillment of the minimum major requirement nor
may they be taken under the S-U grading option. Work
in the major taken in the University College or
transferred to the University from another institution is
included in evaluating the student's record for this
requirement. However, all transfer credit in the major
must be approved by the major department and any
such credit which is not approved as a part of the
major will not apply towards the total credit require-
ment for the degree.
2. Interdisciplinary Majors As alternatives to the depart-
mental major, the College offers two kinds of interdis-
ciplinary majors:
a. Interdisciplinary programs which have been
planned by cooperating departments and adopted
by the College, including the following:
1. American Studies
2. Asian Studies
3. Classical Studies
4. Criminal Justice
5. Social Science Analyst
For a description of each of these programs, see the
appropriate heading under the "Course Descriptions"
section of this catalogue.
b. Individual interdisciplinary programs which are
initiated and designed by the student in consulta-
tion with faculty members from different depart-
ments, supervised by those faculty members, and
approved by the Committee on Interdisciplinary
Studies. The major consists of not less than 36
credit hours of related course work taken in two or
more departments and which may include more
than 10 hours of course work in another college. A
student electing to offer such a concentration must
meet the foreign language requirement, take 45
credit hours of course work in areas of study not
directly related to her or his concentration, take 10
credit hours of ASC 499 or equivalent courses,
under either or both faculty members who agree to
supervise the student's program, and produce a
senior thesis.
High Honors will be awarded to any student who
completes an individual interdisciplinary major
program, earns a grade point average of 3.5 or
higher in his or her upper division work, earns a
grade point average of 3.5 in the major work, and is
recommended by two members of his or her
supervisory committee (including the principal
supervisor) as having conducted an individual
project in ASC 499 which is of high quality and
reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the student's
program.
Detailed information is available from Dean Ruth
McQuown, Room 102 Anderson Hall.
C. Foreign Language Requirement
All candidates for degrees awarded by the College of
Arts and Sciences are required to have at least a minimum
proficiency in some foreign language. The requirement
may be met by the satisfactory completion of a sequence
of 3 five-hour courses or the equivalent. The language
courses may be taken by the satisfactory-unsatisfactory
grading option as long as they are not part of a major. The
foreign language requirement may be satisfied, also, by
examination.
D. Elective Requirement
Of the minimum of 186 quarter hours required for a
bachelor's degree in the College of Arts and Sciences, 96
are normally earned before the student is admitted to this
College; of the remaining minimum of 90 quarter hours,
at least 45 must be earned in courses outside of the
student's major department.
E. Residence Requirement
The last forty-five hours to be applied toward a degree
must be completed in residence in the College of Arts and
Sciences. In special cases this requirement may be
waived, but in no case may the amount of extension or
correspondence work permitted exceed eighteen of the
last fifty-four hours required for the degree.
ARTS AND SCIENCES
HONORS PROGRAMS
Consistent with its view that higher education should
result in the development of each student as an
intellectual individual, this college gives its students
individually tailored degree programs of formal courses.
In addition the College offers a variety of opportunities
for independent and seminar honors work to those of its
undergraduates who have demonstrated appropriate
qualifications.
1. Departmental Honors
A student may be recommended for this distinction by
his major department. Each department will set its own
requirements for departmental honors work and will be
required to print them explicitly in the catalogue.
2. Baccalaureate College Honors
College Honors will be awarded to all students who
earn a grade point average of 3.3 or higher in their upper
division work.
3. Baccalaureate High Honors
High Honors will be awarded to all students who earn a
grade-point average of 3.5 or higher in their upper
division work, end either (1) complete a departmental
honors program with an award of departmental honors,
or (2) satisfactorily complete at least nine hours of the
college interdisciplinary high honors seminar program.
The Senior Seminar: This seminar is concerned with
recent achievements in most areas of knowledge. It is
conducted by a committee of four faculty members. Many
other professors contribute. It extends through the four
quarters. Seminar members read and discuss a book a
week.
A candidate for High Honors continues in the Seminar
any three quarters, preferably consecutive, and earns 9
hours creditable toward the elective requirement. Selec-
tion of the Senior Seminar is made by the Seminar
Committee, which holds interviews and elects new
members near the end of each Quarter except Summer
Quarter.
Colleges
COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES
Seminar members are expected to spend some of their
study hours in the Seminar Room.The College Office will
receive applications for this seminar from students who 1)
will have completed at least one quarter of work in
residence in the College of Arts and Sciences before
election to the seminar and need at least three Quarters
of resident work before graduation. 2) have earned a
grade point average of 3.5 or higher in all of their college
courses beginning with freshman year, and 3) are
recommended by their major department for admission to
the Senior Seminar.
Qualified students may get application forms in the
College Office, Room 113 of Anderson Hall. They are also
invited to consult Professor T. Walter Herbert, 308 Library
East, phone 392-0770, well in advance of their respective
deadlines.
PHI BETA KAPPA
Phi Beta Kappa is an honorary scholastic society for
students of high intellectual ability with a broad liberal
education, mostly for students in the top ten percent of
the senior class. Admission is by invitation and recom-
mendation, not application. Requirements usually include
five quarters of residence in the College of Arts and
Sciences or at least 68 quarter hours mostly in Arts and
Sciences courses; lower-division and upper-division
averages of 3.5 or better; reading or speaking proficiency
in a foreign language; a broad distribution of courses
outside the major subject, courses designed principally
for knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of the
natural and social world in which we live. Hence students
with proficiency in a diversity of disciplines, for example,
the physical, biological, and social sciences, mathematics
and the humanities, are given more favorable considera-
tion.
Students in colleges other than Arts and Sciences who
meet these requirements may be recommended by their
deans.
The society also considers a selected number of
graduate students in Arts and Sciences who have earned
the Ph.D. during the previous twelve months.
SPECIAL PROGRAMS
TEACHER PREPARATION IN ARTS AND SCIENCES
Students may earn their degrees in the College of Arts
and Sciences, and complete requirements for certification

The African Studies Program is administered by an African
Studies Center responsible for the direction and coordina-
tion of interdisciplinary instructional and research activities
related toAfrica. Itcooperates with University departments,
schools and colleges in administering and staffing a
coordinated certificate program. The Center does not offer
an interdisciplinary degree. With the cooperation of
participating departments, it offers a certificate in African
Studies in conjunction with the B.A., M.A. and Ph.D.
degrees.
The College of Arts and Sciences now offers an alternative
to undergraduate students whose academic and/or
professional needs are not met by traditional departmental
majors. Students are permitted to offer an interdisciplinary
major after submittal of proposed program to at least two
faculty members as supervisors, to a College committee and
the Dean for approval. Prospective students are welcome to
consider this alternative with reference to African themes.
To receive a Certificate in African Studies in conjunction
with the B.A. degree a student must (1) take at least36 hours
of courses with African content, (2) offer a departmental
major, and (3) where applicable elect French, Portuguese or
Swahili to satisfy the foreign language requirement.
For Certificate requirements at the M.A. and Ph.D. levels
see the Graduate School Catalog. For further information
on the Center's Certificate requirements, interdisciplinary
majors in the College of Arts and Sciences, and other related
matters contact Professor Haig Der-Houssikian, Director,

WESTERN EUROPEAN STUDIES PROGRAM
The College of Arts and Sciences of the University of
Florida offers an undergraduate interdisciplinary program
leading to the Certificate in Western European Studies. The
program is designed for students interested in Western
European culture, language, history, society, and politics. It
should also be of value to students who wish to become
European regional specialists or who are contemplating
careers in such fields having to do with Western Europe as
government service, international law, business, or trade.
Each student works with an adviser in constructing a
program of courses suited to his own specific interests,
needs, and background. The student majors in the
department of his choice but selects courses with Western
European content from a number of the following
departments involved in the program: Anthropology, Art,
Economics, English, Geography, Germanic Languages and
Literatures, History, Music, Philosophy, Political Science,
Religion, and Romance Languages and Literatures.
In order to receive a Certificate in Western European
Studies, a student is required (1) to complete courses
totaling at least 36 credits (up to 15 of which may be from his
major department) from among appropriate courses with
Western European orientation in the participating depart-
ments; (2) to take History 201-202, European Civilization, or
to offer an equivalent substitute selected in consultation
with program adviser (3) to demonstrate a reading and

CORE PROGRAMS
SOCIAL INTERVENTION SYSTEMS
This interdisciplinary curriculum is designed to give the
student knowledge of the nature and interrelationships
among various social and community organizations. At the
outset, coursework will emphasize general topics such as
urbanization, minority group relations, and social change.
The student may then emphasize a more specialized area
such as medical sociology, deviant behavior, gerontology,
or educational sociology.
This program will: (1) enable the student to more
effectively participate in community living, (2) prove
valuable for students wishing to pursue community work,
and (3) provide an adequate foundation for students
planning graduate work in Sociology or Social Work.
The Social Intervention program leads to the degree of
Bachelor of Arts and all requirements for the departmental
major in Sociology must be met. The strength of the
program, however, lies in its interdepartmental nature. The
student will be expected to include courses in An-
thropology, Economics, History, Political Science, and
Psychology among his or her electives.
Interested students should contact Professor Mary Anna
Baden, Department of Sociology, Room 309 Peabody Hall,
for assistance in planning their programs.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
This program provides a limited amount of professional
preparation for careers in international affairs, including the
Foreign Service of the Department of State, the United
States Information Agency, Central Intelligence Agency,
National Security Agency, the United Nations and its
specialized agencies, and other international organizations.
Training is designed to lead to appointment as Foreign
Service Officer, Intelligence Research Specialist, Foreign
Affairs Analyst, etc. Admission to the Foreign Service and for
some positions in the U.S.I.A. is through the Foreign
Service Officer Examination. For information, the student
should consult the Foreign Service Adviser, Professor E. R.
Wittkopf, International Studies Building.
Students should take at least two years of an appropriate
foreign language (6 quarter courses), some courses in
Political Science, Economics, History, Geography, English
and American Literature. Because international affairs is an
area of concentration rather than a formal, certificate-
granting program, it is the responsibility of each student to
choose those courses from each of these fields that he
deems most appropriate given his background and career
objectives. The examination emphasizes the general
cultural knowledge of the student as well as his command of
social sciences information.
GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION,
MANAGEMENT, and PLANNING
The undergraduate programs in public administration
seek to provide students with broad foundations in the
subject areas of relevance and concern to administration in
contemporary American government at all levels Federal,
state, and local government. These programs of study are
recommended for students who are considering careers in
government service and for students who are interested in
acquiring some knowledge of administrative and mana-
gerial practices and issues in both public and private
organizations. In general, students who complete a
program of study in public administration have a
background for seeking either entry-level career positions
in government service, or for entering graduate-level
programs of professional administrative education and
training.
Students interested in studying public administration
have two options available to them. (1) They may take a
major in Political Science and concentrate on administrative
studies both in their major courses and in their electives. (2)
If otherwise qualified, students may elect to matriculate in
the Individual Interdisciplinary Program and study subjects
related to administration throughout the University. For
additional information concerning the interdisciplinary
option, see the section of this catalog pertaining to degree
requirements in the College of Arts and Sciences.
In addition to formal study, actual work experience in
government is considered to be a desirable, if not an
essential, part of every student's program. To this end,
efforts will be made to place students as interns in
government for a period of time, usually at least for one
quarterorfor a summer. Since the number of such positions
that can be located through University efforts is limited,
students in Public Administration programs are encouraged
to seek out such job opportunities on their own.
For the most part, programs of study are prepared
individually within general limits; any given student's
program will depend in part upon both his interests and
prior course work. In general, however, students interested
in these programs can expect to study in the following
subject areas:
1. Social Sciences, including Political Science
Sociology, Psychology, Economics, History, Anthropol-
ogy and Geography.
2. Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Sciences.
3. Management, Accounting, Business Administration,
and Engineering.
Students interested in entering into a program of public
administrative studies should consult Professor R. F.
Munzenrider at the Public Administration Clearing Service,
13 Anderson Hall, or Professor William Kelso, 475 Little Hall.
ENVIRONMENTAL MAJOR IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES
Students may develop individual interdisciplinary major
programs in the College of Arts and Sciences which
combine a study of the environment with a concentration
on the social science aspect of environmental matters. A
program of environmental studies with a social science
emphasis may prove particularly useful for students
interested in careers with governmental or private agencies
concerned with environmental management and for
students interested in environmental law as part of their
pre-professional training. Those taking this major will be
required to take a balanced mix of social and natural science
courses; at the same time, students will be free to select
from a great diversity of courses in the social, biological,
physical and environmental sciences in filling this
requirement. Additionally, all students will fulfill the
general requirements for an Arts and Science degree. (See
description under Individual Interdisciplinary Majors in the
Arts and Sciences section of this catalog.) Those interested
in this program should contact Dean Ruth McQuown, 102
Anderson Hall, to obtain further information about the
program.
FILM STUDIES
The College of Arts and Sciences in conjunction with
other colleges offers a variety of courses related to the study
of film as an art form. Students, working with the film
studies adviser, construct their own patterns of courses
suited to their personal interests. Courses offered in film
work include:
BR 318 Broadcast Writing (4)*
BR 324 Broadcast Production I. (4)*

JEWISH STUDIES
Administered by the Center for Jewish Studies, this
program provides an interdisciplinary and interdepartmen-
tal curriculum which serves as a basis for understandingthe
broad sweep of Jewish civilization. Through course work in
various departments, including Religion, Foreign Lan-
guages, English and Philosophy, students may acquaint
themselves with and specialize in areas within Jewish
studies including Biblical Studies, Jewish history, Jewish
philosophy and Jewish literature. It is expected that
students in the program will demonstrate or acquire
competence in Hebrew. The program may serve as
preparation for graduate work in Jewish Studies, whether in
a university or seminary setting.
The Jewish Studies program leads to the degree of
Bachelor of Arts and requires completion of a departmental
major. Working with advisers from the Center for Jewish
Studies, students may construct individually oriented
programs best suited to their needs, programs that take full
account of previous preparation. Interested students
should consult with Professors B. Mesch or S. Isenberg,368
J. Wayne Reitz Union.
ENGLISH LANGUAGE INSTITUTE
A noncredit, nondegree program in English as a second
language is available to foreign students with some
knowledge of the language who wish to increase their
competence. The program, which may be taken any of the
quarters of the academic year, emphasizes the oral and
written skills needed by students from abroad who plan to
attend a university in the United States. Further information
is available from Dr. Jayne C. Harder, Director, English
Language Institute, 162 Grinter Hall, University of Florida,
Gainesville, Florida 32611.
CHAIR OF AMERICAN STUDIES
Through the generosity of the American Legion,
Department of Florida, which has provided a fund of $40,000
for this purpose, supplemented by legislative appropria-
tion, there was established a Professorship in the
Department of History of the College of Arts and Sciences
known as the "Chair of American Studies." This chair was
established to present courses and lectures on American
ideals, American government, American institutions, and
American citizenship.
The Professor of American Studies was designated to
teach courses in American History and to promote special
programs on American ideals. Although the University
offers for freshmen a nine credit, three quarter course
entitled, "American Institutions," a number of additional
courses in American History are offered as electives. A
central theme in many American History courses is the
struggle of the people of the United States for a more
perfect democracy.
Part of the income from the endowment of the Chair of
American Studies is used to bring outstandingAmericansto
the University of Florida for a series of addresses on the
theme of American traditions. Many of the lectures are
published and distributed as a part of the American
Studies program of the University.
PLACEMENT SERVICE
The Career Planning and Placement Center, located in
Suite G-22, J. Wayne Reitz Union, is the centralized job
placement facility for students and alumni of the College of
Arts and Sciences.
Personnel at the Center will help you identify career
choices and match these with your academic major or
interests. You will, also, find assistance in developing a
career plan, organizing a personal job search program and
improving your communication skills in interviewing,
resume and application letter writing.
The objective is to aid you in putting your education to
work in a field that will be both satisfying and rewarding to
you. In this regard, the Center hosts several hundred
representatives from business, industry, education and
government each year. These persons are on campus to
interview job candidates in fields ranging from bachelor
liberal arts graduates to science doctorates.
Undergraduates should register with the Center
immediately upon starting their senior year of college.
Graduate students should register as they enter the final
year of their studies.
For additional information visit the Center or contact Mr.
Maurice E. Mayberry, Director.
STUDENT COUNCIL
The Arts and Sciences Student Council is the group of
actively concerned students which provides vital student
input to the College Administration. Composed of student
representatives elected from each department, the Council
not only acts as the liaison between students, faculty, and
administration, but identifies problems within the college.
In recent years, the Student Council established the first
Annual Teacher-of-the-Year Award to honor excellence in
teaching. The Council has initiated service projects which
will benefit students and faculty such as the free Calculator
Laboratory and Peer Advisement.
The Council's growth and effectiveness depends upon
active student involvement. Interested participants should
contact the Student Council Office, 190 Building E, or the
Arts and Sciences Office, 103 Anderson Hall.
STUDY ABROAD (UTRECHT)
The University of Florida offers a foreign study program
at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands, for its own
and other undergraduates in the State University System
of Florida. The 1973-74 program consisted of one year
(three quarters) of study in the humanities, physical
sciences, social sciences and other related arts and
sciences disciplines, with a special attempt to integrate
these disciplines and to relate the formal educational
experiences to the student's cultural discoveries. Students
have the opportunity to experience Dutch and European
culture directly by studying and living with foreign
students.
Utilizing the classroom space of the University of
Utrecht and its professors in collaboration with the
resident Florida staff, the program is integrated with the
University of Utrecht. Each term a student takes a
required course composed of four hours weekly of
Colleges
COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES
instruction in conversational Dutch, plus other courses
chosen from those taught by the Florida faculty, and
elective courses from the Utrecht faculty taught in
English. Credit for this work is transferred to the student's
record at his or her home university in the Florida system.
Housing accommodations for students in 1973-74 were
of various kinds: living with Dutch families, or living in a
Dutch dormitory.
The basic cost to participate in the program in 1973-74
was $1650, to cover tuition; medical insurance; member-
ship in a Dutch student organization which provides many
services; and limited activities fee such as concerts,
lectures, and class trips. This does not cover trans-Atlantic
air fare, housing, the cost of food, or incidental expenses.
One of the Florida faculty members serves as resident
director of the program in Utrecht. Further information is
available from Betty L. Siegel, Dean of Academic Affairs
for Continuing Education, 239 Tigert Hall.

GENERAL STATEMENT
The College of Business Administration of the University
of Florida was organized in 1926-27. The divisions of the
College are: Department of Accounting; Department of
Economics; Department of Finance, Insurance, Real Estate
and Urban Land Studies; Department of Management;
Department of Marketing; and Bureau of Economic and
Business Research.
The College of Business Administration has broad
objectives; to provide the foundation for competent,
responsible participation in business, the professions and
government; to stimulate interest in social, economic and
civic responsibilities; to develop competence in making
business decisions and in evaluating policy; to offer fields of
specialization in business or economics, and, especially, to
encourage intellectual inquiry.
Specific arts and detailed information are necessary parts
of the curriculum, but the guiding principle of this College
is to stress broad fundamentals in terms of the above
objectives, and to prepare the student to develop
subsequent specialization. To this end, every curriculum of
the College is constructed around a core of courses in
economics and the major functional areas of business.
The College also has other functions. It contributes to
knowledge through the research activities of its faculty and
students. Graduate programs are provided for advanced
students and prospective teachers in business administra-
tion and economics. The College participates in programs
of adult education both on and off campus. It recognizes its
responsibilities to students in other colleges of the
University by giving them an opportunity to complement
their education with courses in economics and business
administration.
The College maintains a computer facility for instructional
and research purposes. Advanced students also have access
to the University Computing Center, which contains
high-capacity equipment.
SCHOLARSHIPS AND
ASSISTANTSHIPS
Scholarships are available for students in Business
Administration. Full information about these scholarships
may be obtained from the Director of Student Financial Aid,

from the Director of Graduate Studies, College of Business
Administration, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida.
BUREAU OF ECONOMIC AND
BUSINESS RESEARCH
There is established in the College of Business
Administration a Bureau of Economic and Business
Research. One of the major purposes of this Bureau is to
carry out research undertakings designed to contribute to
economic and business knowledge, with primary emphasis
upon the economy of Florida and the Southeast. A second
major aim is the functional participation of the faculty
members of the Bureau staff in the curriculum for graduate
training offered by the College of Business Administration
and in this way to provide opportunity for graduate students
to engage in specific research projects. From time to time
work is undertaken which permits a similar opportunity for
undergraduate students.
The Bureau publishes the results of its research
undertakings as these are completed. It also issues
periodically a publication, Economic Leaflets, and Business
and Economic Dimensions.
The Bureau is a member of the Associated University
Bureaus of Business and Economic Research.
MEMBERSHIP IN NATIONAL AND
REGIONAL ASSOCIATIONS
The College of Business Administration is a member of
the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business,
the Southern Economic Association, the Southern Business
Administrative Association and the National Retail Mer-
chants' Association. Its baccalaureate and MBA programs
are accredited by the American Association of Collegiate
Schools of Business.
BETA GAMMA SIGMA
Election to this national honorary society is based on
scholarship and character. It fills the place in education for
business that the society of Phi Beta Kappa holds in the field
of classical education. Duly elected members have the right
to wear the insigne of the society the Beta Gamma Sigma
gold key. For further information apply to the Office of the
Dean.

Omicron Delta Epsilon, in economics, and Phi ChiTheta for
business women. Several clubs also give students with
specialized interest an opportunity to participate in their
activities. The Real Estate Club, The Insurance Society,
AIESEC-US, and a student chapter of The Propellor Club. A
student chapter of the Society of Advancement of
Management elects its memberships both from this College
and the College of Engineering.
WOMEN IN BUSINESS
Rapidly increasing opportunities exist for women
graduates in many business fields. Illustrative areas are
marketing, banking, accounting, economic analysis,
insurance, real estate, personnel administration, statistics
and investments. Supplemental concentration in secretarial
courses may be included in one of the regular degree
programs of women preparing for responsible positions as
executive secretaries.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION
The University of Florida and the College of Business
Administration encourages applications from qualified
students from all cultural, racial, religious, and ethnic
groups. Listed below are the specific requirements for
admission to this college. It should be understood however
that minimum requirements are given and that admission to
-77
COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
this college is a selective process. The satisfaction of
minimum requirements does not automatically guarantee
admission. A student's total record including educational
objective, pattern of courses previously completed, quality
of previous academic record, and test data will all be
considered in evaluating an application for admission.
Priority in admission will be given to those applicants whose
potential on the basis of their total record indicates the
greatest likelihood of success in the program requested.
University College Students: To be eligible for admission
to the College of Business Administration, a University
College student must have: (1) completed at least one
quarter in University College; and (2) earned a 2.0 average
on all University of Florida work attempted.
Transfer Students: To be eligible for admission to the
College of Business Administration, a transfer student must
satisfy the minimum requirements for admission to an
Upper Division College that are set forth in the
ADMISSIONS Section of this catalog. Additionally, the
applicant must have completed the courses required for the
desired curriculum as indicated in the program for the
freshman and sophomore years in the University College
section of this Catalog or their equivalent. The following
information will serve as a guide in expeditingtransfer to the
College of Business Administration.
A. Students attending four year colleges, who wish to
transfer after two years, should follow a program of
general education and pre-professional courses similar
to the Basic Curriculum for the Freshman and
Sophomore years for students desiring to enter the
College of Business Administration which is outlined in
the University College section of this catalog.
Prerequisite courses in business subjects duringthe first
two years should be completed as indicated in
paragraphs B.3 and B.4 below. Courses should not be
taken during the first two years which are offered only at
the upper division level at the University of Florida.
B. Junior College students should:

economics, a one-year sequence in analytical
geometry and calculus, an introductory course in
statistics, a course in economic and business
statistics, a course in logic.
4. Complete the one-year course in accounting
and/or economics at the junior college. Differences
in the order of presenting material in basic one year
courses make it highly undesirable to take parts of
such courses in different institutions.
5. Choose elective courses needed to complete the
total 64 semester hours in the university transfer
program from such areas as mathematics, natural
sciences, social science, foreign language, and
humanities.

AVOID SUCH COURSES AS BUSINESS LAW,
PRINCIPLES OF MARKETING, PRINCIPLES OF MAN-
AGEMENT, PRINCIPLES OF INSURANCE, PRINCI-
PLES OF REAL ESTATE, PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT,
AND COMPUTER MANAGEMENT COURSES. A
maximum of six quarter credits may be allowed for
courses taken during the first two years which are
available only as third and fourth year professional
courses in the College of Business Administration.
Any credit granted for such work will be in the form of
unddistributed elective credit without reference to
specific courses taken, but in no case may such
courses be in the student's major field.
ProvisionalAdmission: Within space limitations, students
who do not meet precisely the admission requirements
indicated in the appropriate section above may be granted
provisional admission to the College of Business
Administration. The terms and conditions of provisional
admission are as follows:
A. The student must have earned a 2.0 overall grade
point average on all previous collegiate work attempted;
and
B. The dean of the College of Business Administration
will specify which foundation courses (from those listed
in paragraph B.3 above) the student must complete
during his first academic quarter in the upper division
(and during the second academic quarter of the
student's enrollment, if an additional term under
provisional admission is necessary for him to complete
the foundation courses); and
C. The student will be fully admitted to the College of
Business Administration (that is, the "provisional" status
will be removed) upon the student's completion of the
foundation courses specified under paragraph 2 above,
provided that the student earns a grade of "C" or better
on each course so specified while he is enrolled under
the provisional admission program.

ADVANCED ACCOUNTANCY
DEGREE
Upon completion of 45 quarter credits of advanced
business subjects beyond the undergraduate level with an
overall grade average of 2.0 (C), students will be awarded
the professional accountancy degree AAB, Bachelor of
Advanced Accountancy.
The purpose of this fifth year program is to offer
specialized accounting training at an advanced level. The
courses, while professionally oriented, are taught with a
broad philosophical approach which is concerned not
only with a thorough understanding of accounting
principles and practices but also an appreciation of their
interrelation with principles of other fields of business. Its
objective is to provide the student with a depth of
educational background both in accounting and other
business subjects which will encourage him to continue
career development in preparation for future leadership
in the profession.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS:
Admission will be granted to graduates from a college
or university with a grade point average of 2.7 (C+) or
better and with the equivalent of a major in accounting,
ordinarily, with the completion of from 36 to 45 quarter
credits of accounting subjects. No entrance examination
is required.
Practical business experience is not required for
admission to the program but students having such a
background will find that it enhances their professional
study. Internship programs of three or four months are
available and will add much to the professional
development of the student.
CURRICULUM IN ADVANCED ACCOUNTANCY:
Course requirements of 45 quarter credits must include
at least 22 quarter credits of advanced accounting subjects
to be selected from the 500 level accounting courses. At
least 20 quarter credits of advanced business courses also
are required. These are to be chosen to supplement the
student's undergraduate work in business subjects related
to the study of accounting.
