ECKERD COLLEGE

St. Petersburg, Florida

AN INTRODUCTION

The basic mission of Eckerd College is to aid the personal development of humane
and competent persons of all ages to learn, lead, and serve in the local, national,
and even international realms of a pluralistic and increasingly complex society. In
so doing, Eckerd College has as its ultimate aims to assist persons to fulfill their
God given potential, to improve the quality of life in our society at large and, more
specifically, to contribute to the vitality of congregations which are local expres-
sions of the Christian Church.

Eckerd College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools to award the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of
Science degrees. A coeducational college of the liberal arts and sciences, it is related
by covenant to the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The campus is located on 267
acres of tropical waterfront property in a suburban area of St. Petersburg, Florida.

The school was founded in 1958 as Florida Presbyterian College and admitted its
first students in 1960. In 1972, the College's name was changed to honor Jack M.
Eckerd, a prominent Florida civic leader and businessman whose gifts and
commitments to the institution have helped to insure its continuing excellence.
More than 1 1 ,000 graduates are seeking to lead lives of leadership and service in
communities throughout the world.

ECKERD COLLEGE
BASIC COMMITMENTS

This catalog is designed to give a comprehensive
picture of Eckerd College. We are proud of what
we have achieved, and welcome the reader to join
us in an exciting and continuing educational
adventure. As you read this document, you should
he aware of certain basic commitments that have
guided the college's history and planning. These
commitments and the efforts to achieve them
have enabled Eckerd College to be distinctive
among the 3,000 colleges and universities in the
United States.

THE COMMITMENT TO
INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT

The primary purpose of the educational program is
to foster the personal development of each
student. We seek to prepare students for the basic
responsibilities of life, and especially for compe-
tent, humane leadership and service. We are
vitally concerned with the development of whole
persons, and therefore encourage the intellectual,
spiritual, cultural, social, emotional and physical
growth of each student. While education is a
lifelong process, the Eckerd experience is designed
to assist students to go beyond the limitations
imposed by ignorance, narrowness, conformity,
self-centeredness, and irresponsibility. Our aims
are to help individuals achieve excellence in
thought and conduct and to spark their imag-
ination about future possibilities.

THE COMMITMENT TO
THE TRANSCENDENT

Eckerd College seeks to develop an atmosphere of
free and open inquiry into all aspects of faith and
knowledge. We endeavor to combine openness to
diverse understandings of transcendence and
commitment to liberal education with the belief
that a church-related college is particularly suited
to encourage students toward exploration,
discovery, and development.

Our historical relationship with the Presbyterian
Church (U.S.A.) informs our understanding of
faith. However, the college community is not
narrowly sectarian. It includes among its faculty,
students, and staff individuals of many denomina-
tions, faiths, and points of view. Exposure to these
diverse religious perspectives is essential as

students seek to clarify their beliefs, assess their
values, and learn to act responsibly on the basis of
their convictions. It is also a necessary prerequisite
to the development of mutual understanding and
respect essential to learning and living in a
pluralistic world.

THE COMMITMENT OF
FACULTY TO STUDENTS

The relatively small size of the Eckerd student
body allows numerous opportunities for close
personal relationships between students and
faculty. Each Eckerd student has a faculty aca-
demic adviser, known as a "Mentor," who seeks to
facilitate the total growth of students and helps
them to get the most out of their college years.

Because the faculty is committed to the primary
importance of teaching, it has developed a
reputation for excellence in the teaching of
undergraduates. Many Eckerd College faculty
members are engaged in primary scholarship and
artistic creativity and, wherever possible, seek to
involve students in these enterprises. The
intention of the faculty is to provide an educa-
tional environment characterized by high expecta-
tion, personal attention and enthusiasm for
learning.

THE COMMITMENT TO
GENERAL EDUCATION

While Eckerd College is committed to helping
students develop competence in a specific field of
study, it is equally committed to general education.

The general education program is designed to
provide a foundation for lifelong learning by
helping students to develop a love for learning,
acquire an informed awareness of the major
elements of their cultural heritage, explore various
perspectives on the central concerns of human
existence, assume increased responsibility for their
own growth, and master the skills that are
necessary to understand and deal with a rapidly
changing and increasingly complex world.

The general education program is made up of the
autumn term project, computation, foreign
language, and the Western Heritage in a Global
Context sequence in the first year; one course in
each of four academic areas plus an environmental
perspective course and a global perspective course
in the second and third years; and a course in the
Quest for Meaning in the Senior year.

THE COMMITMENT TO THE
INTEGRATION OF LIBERAL
ARTS AND CAREER
PREPARATION

The commitment to individual development
includes a commitment to helping students
prepare themselves for a vocation. Through more
than thirty tomial majors and pre-professional
programs, opportunities are available to develop
the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for
successful careers. In addition, through indepen-
dent study and individually designed areas of
concentration, students are encouraged to
supplement and adapt the formal curriculum to
their particular interests and aspirations.

The college recognizes that significant learning
can occur in a \'ariet^? of settings. Internships, jobs,
and other oft-campus learning experiences, both
in this country and abroad, enable students to
integrate theory and practice and help them to
clarify their values and career choices. Because
they are committed to a participatory educational
process, faculty engage students in the learning of
science, theatre, management and other disci-
plines by doing. The aim is to assist each student to
become a self-directed, competent, humane
person capable of making a significant contribu-
tion to society.

THE COMMITMENT TO
HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS
IN COMMUNITY

There is a rich diversity among Eckerd College
students which is educationally desirable. Students
come to campus from more than 45 states and 50
foreign countries. They enroll from urban,
suburban, and rural areas; from developed and
developing countries; and from a variety of
cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. The
cosmopolitan nature of the Eckerd campus
enriches the total educational experience as
students learn from each other.

Built upon this diversity is a sense of community
based upon common objectives, concerns and
experiences. Academic interests provide the basis
for a sense of community, which is enhanced by
worship, student activities, athletic events,
concerts, lectures, and other opportunities for
shared experiences. Because most students reside
on campus, they have the enriched experiences
that occur when people are learning both how to
learn and how to live together.

THE COMMITMENT TO BE A
PACE-SETTING INSTITUTION

Eckerd College is nationally known for pioneering
new programs designed to deal directly with the
varying needs of college students. It has shown the
will to improve education and the vision and
courage to take steps that will facilitate the growth
of students. Many of its programs of interdiscipli-
nary study, independent study, international
education, values inquiry, and student orientation
and advising have become models for other
educational institutions. Within the context of its
objectives as a church-related college of the liberal
arts and sciences, it continues to seek better ways
of meeting its commitments.

A SHARED COMMITMENT

Every student upon entering Eckerd College is
asked to sign a promise to uphold the following
statement of Shared Commitment:

The choice to join the community of scholars of
Eckerd College commits each student to the
values embodied in the mission and objectives of
this church-related college of liberal arts and
sciences. Inherent in this commitment is the
responsibility:

1. To use one's abilities and opportunities to
pursue personal and academic growth and
excellence.

2. To exercise respect for human dignity in
attitudes and relationships.

3. To conduct oneself with integrity in academic
work and as a citizen ot the college community.

4. To respect the rights and property of other
students and their need tor an environment
conducive to scholarly work.

5. To respect the rights and property of Eckerd
College and to protect its reputation as a
college of distinction with a student body of
high quality.

6. To respect and learn from human differences
and the diversity of ideas and opinions.

7. To seek out opportunities to prepare for a life
of leadership and service.

Each student's commitment to these ideals
obligates that student to abide by college re-
gulations and to work with others to prevent the
following behaviors that threaten the freedom and
respect that members of the Eckerd community
enjoy:

1 . Academic dishonesty

2. Chronic interference with the right to study

3. Willful destruction of property

4. Theft

5. Personal violence

6. Bigotr\'

7. Disruptive intoxication

Thus all students share a commitment to excel-
lence and to the creation of a college community
in which they can take pride.

THE ACADEMIC
PROGRAM

Since Eckerd College (then known as Florida
Presbyterian College) opened its doors, it has
earned a reputation for creating new and better
opportunities for learning. Eckerd has been
consistently rated among the foremost of Ameri-
can colleges and universities.

The college looks for superior methods of educating
its students, not in order to be different, but to offer a
more rewarding and useful educational experience.

For example, you have probably come across such
expressions as "4- 1-4," "winterim," "miniterm,"
"interim," or "winter term." (All of them mean
essentially the same thing: separating the two
terms of an academic year with a one month
period of study on a single topic.) The winter term
is an Eckerd College concept. This innovation was
created and tested first on the Eckerd College
campus; other colleges found it so exciting that
they adopted it.

Since the creation of the winter term in 1960,
Eckerd has discovered and implemented other
innovative ways of teaching. Perhaps the best way
of providing you with an understanding of the
Eckerd experience is to take you on a "verbal tour"
of the academic program.

THE MENTOR

Shortly after you have been accepted as an Eckerd
student, you will receive material about selection
of a Mentor. The original Mentor was the guide
and companion of Odysseus. As you are, in a
sense, embarking on your odyssey, it is fitting that
you have your own Mentor.

Throughout your career at Eckerd, you will have
continuing support and counsel from a faculty
Mentor, who is more than the conventional
faculty adviser. Mentors are faculty members who
have been specially trained to help you in your
academic program, career planning, and personal
growth. You choose your own Mentor before you
enter Eckerd, from a descriptive list of Mentors
and projects. In your Freshman year, you will take
at least one course from your Mentor, and together
you will work out the rest of your academic
program for the first academic year.

\XTien you become an upperclass student, you may
choose a new Mentor — a specialist in your area of
academic concentration. The two of you will continue
to plan your academic program, including indepen-

dent and directed studies, internships, off-campus
programs, work experience, career planning, foreign
study, and the many other options that Eckerd offers.

THE ACADEMIC CALENDAR

Eckerd College follows a modified 4-1-4 calendar. The
fall and spring semesters are fourteen weeks in length,
and are each followed by examination periods.
Courses during the semester are offered for the full
fourteen weeks, and ordinarily a full-time student will
enroll for four of these courses each semester.

The three-week autumn term for Freshmen occurs
prior to the beginning of the fall semester, while
the four week winter temi (January) falls between
the two regular semesters. During these shorter
terms, students will enroll for no more than one
academic project at a time. This format provides
for independent investigation of a topic in a
concentrated manner.

THE AUTUMN TERM

As a Freshman, you will start your Eckerd College
experience in mid- August, when you enroll for
autumn term. In contrast to the usual Freshman
orientation of two or three days, autumn term lasts
three weeks. It is designed for Freshmen only, and
provides an intensive foretaste of college living
and academic work.

During autumn term, you will take one academic
project, for credit, from your Mentor. This project is
stimulating in content, teaches basic academic
skills, and focuses on the interdisciplinary nature of
learning. The course will give you a clear idea of
what is expected of you at Eckerd. Autumn term
provides an excellent opportunity for certain kinds
of interest and competency testing that will allow
you to begin your academic program in courses that
are best suited to your current stage of development.

You will also learn a great deal about living,
working, and playing in a college community. The
student Resident Adviser in your residence hall will
be on hand during autumn term to help you make
the transition into college life. In fact, the entire
staff of the college and the autumn term faculty will
participate with you in periods of inquiry, reflection,
and fun. The sense of community that develops will
assist you to take full advantage of the opportunities
and resources available on campus. By the time the
upperclass students return in September, you will be
well established in campus life. For more informa-
tion about autumn term see page 103.

GENERAL EDUCATION

An important part ot your studies throughout your
career at Eckerd College will be in general
education.

During your Freshman year, you will take two
classwide interdisciplinary courses called Western
Heritage in a Global Context I and 11 that will
explore the cultural riches of the past. Your
discussion sections in these courses will be led by
your Mentor. In addition you will be expected to
demonstrate proficiency in oral communication
skills and the ability to use information technol-
ogy in the first year cultural heritage course and
later in your chosen major; demonstrate writing
competency by assembling a portfolio of your
collegiate writing for evaluation by the faculty;
take one college level computation course or
demonstrate competency by examination; take
one year of a foreign language or demonstrate
competency at the first year by evaluation of the
language faculty.

During your years at Eckerd you will also take at
least one course from each of four academic areas
— the arts, humanities, natural sciences, and
social sciences — and one course designated as an
environmental perspective and one designated as
a global perspective.

Seniors will take Quest for Meaning. This course
explores issues of purpose, value, and vocation
through the lens of various religious and ethical
traditions and includes a sustained service-
learning project in which in-class ideas are
translated into action.

WINTER TERM

Winter term is a special tour-week period in
January that emphasizes independent study. You
may enroll in projects designed by professors, or
design your own with the sponsorship of a
professor.

All winter term projects must have strong
academic merit. A typical project requires you to
select a subject, gather information, organize it,
and present it as a paper, a short story, a painting, a
perfomiance, or a piece of equipment. Freshmen
may take a winter term in addition to autumn
tenn and substitute this fifth short term for one of
the 32 courses required tor graduation or for a
Winter TenTi in the sophomore or junior year. The
Leadership and Self-Discovery Practicum for
Freshmen (see page 7) may not substitute for a

Winter Term. The Winter Term in the Senior year
is usually spent working on a comprehensive
examination or senior thesis or project required for
completion of a major.

Many colleges have followed Eckerd College's
example in adopting a winter term program,
making it possible to exchange students and to
increase the range of projects offered. Eckerd
College also cooperates with other 4-1-4 colleges
in sponsoring winter term projects abroad or in
major cities and interesting locations in the
United States. Many Winter Term projects
include at least eight contact hours per week,
which meets the Veteran's Administration
standards for full tuition benefits. For more
infonnation about Winter Term see page 103.

For a special Freshman Leadership and Self-
Discovery Program during Winter Term, see the
Foundation Collegium, #5, page 7.

THE COLLEGIUM CONCEPT

During the past few years, educators have become
aware that the traditional division of learning into
academic "departments" is not necessarily the best
way to organize the educational process. Increas-
ingly popular among colleges is the interdiscipli-
nary major, in which the student combines courses
from two or more disciplines to form an individual
academic program. At Eckerd, we have established
interdisciplinary "collegia," which encourage new
combinations of studies and demonstrate the
interrelatedness of knowledge.

The word "collegium" goes back to medieval days,
when it meant a fellowship of equals (i.e., persons
communicating without artificial obstacles to
discourse) pursuing a common objective (which in
Eckerd's case is learning). The word vividly
describes what we are trying to do: to bring you
(the student) together with a highly knowledge-
able person (the professor) in an atmosphere
where you can debate freely, challenge one
another's viewpoints, learn together.

In a collegium, subjects are grouped according to
the intellectual discipline required to master them.
You learn mathematics and physics in similar
ways, for example; but you learn dance differently,
and a foreign language in still another way.

Eckerd faculty members choose to atfiliate with a
particular collegium, depending upon their
approach to their subject. You will do the same.
At the end oi your Freshman year you will focus

upon a major or area of concentration and affiliate
with the collegium that best suits your perception
of that study. Your concentration does not have to
lie in a single field, such as history or hiolog^'. You
can create your own concentration hy combining
those studies that will help you achieve your
career or professional goal. For example, if you
wish to become an environmental economist, you
can combine economics and biology, thus creating
your own concentration to fit your own goal. The
collegium concept makes this interdisciplinary
approach to learning a natural one that is easy to
accomplish.

Eckerd sees the members of a collegium —
students and faculty' alike — as partners in
learning. Professors bring high expectation to the
learning process; students are expected to become
independent learners and researchers, able to take
maximum advantage of their professors' strong
qualifications. Each collegium has its own
decision-making group, composed of professors
and students, which gives students an important
voice in the academic decisions of the college.

THE FOUNDATIONS
COLLEGIUM

Eckerd College provides a special, perhaps unique,
program tor all Freshmen through the Foundations
Collegium. This is the first-year home for students,
helping them to establish a foundation for their
upper-level studies. The collegium's program
includes four important parts with a fifth option:

1 . Autumn Term. Freshmen arrive in mid-August
to take a three-week course before the opening of
the fall semester early in September. EXiring this
time, they also complete their testing, orientation,
and registration. Freshmen choose from 18
projects limited to about 20 students each. The
professor for that course will be the Mentor for
those students.

2. Mentorship. Eckerd College has expanded the
notion of the academic adviser to allow more help,
care, and encouragement to its students. Each
Freshman has a Mentor from the faculty' who
helps to guide him or her through the Freshman
year.

3. Western Heritage in a Global Context. All

Freshmen are required to take Western Heritage in
a Global Context I (fall) and Western Heritage in
a Global Context II (spring). These courses
explore central concepts and materials of civiliza-
tion and introduce Freshmen to the themes of

Eckerd College's general education program.
Western Heritage in a Global Context courses are
interdisciplinary', using lecture and discussion
formats. The discussion sections are the same
groups, with the same instructor, as the autumn
term groups.

4. Skills Development. Every student must
demonstrate proficiency, or take courses to
develop skills, in composition, foreign language,
information technology, oral, and quantitative
skills. For more details see page 1 7 under Degree
Requirements, and under Composition in the
course listings. Foundations also provides a
Writing Center to assist students with their
writing and an oral communication laboratory to
help them improve their speaking skills.

5. The Leadership and Self -Discovery Program.

First year students have the opportunity to
participate in an optional winter term designed
specially for them. The Leadership and Self-
Discovery Program enables students to develop a
better understanding of their own personal
attributes and possibilities while improving their
learning skills, life planning skills, and leadership
skills. The goal of LSDP, which combines worth-
while learning with enjoyable experiences, is to
provide first year students with the enhanced skills
and knowledge that will help them get the most
from an Eckerd College education. The cost of the
program is a significantly reduced tuition fee plus
room, board, and fees. The Leadership and Self-
Discovery Practicum substitutes for one of the 32
courses required for graduation. It does not fulfill a
Winter Tenn requirement.

At the end of the Freshman year, students choose
an upper-level collegium and a new Mentor; any
students still unsure of what to choose can get
help from the Foundations office and/or Career
Counseling.

THE UPPER DIVISION
COLLEGIA

THE COLLEGIUM OF
BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE

Members of the Behavioral Science Collegium
believe that the urgent problems of today —
racism, environmental pollution, overpopulation,
world hunger and crime — are problems of human
behavior. Therefore, there is much to be gained by
developing methodological and conceptual tools
to understand better both individual and collec-
tive behavior. Students will take introductory
courses in psychology or sociology. In addition,
courses are available in the fields of economics,
sociology, psychology, management, political
science, business administration, finance, account-
ing, marketing, and statistics.

THE COLLEGIUM OF
COMPARATIVE CULTURES

The Collegium of Comparative Cultures seeks to
promote an understanding of the breadth of human
cultural achievements through languages, area
studies, anthropology, international business, and
related disciplines. The Collegium serves as both a
window and a gateway to the cultures of the world:
a window for those who learn in the classroom from
professors who have lived and studied in other
cultures; a gateway for those who wish to visit these
cultures after preparatory study on campus.
Language study in Chinese, French, Gemian,
Italian, Japanese, Spanish, or Russian can be
integrated into a major program, an interdiscipli-
nary concentration with another discipline (such as
management, political science, or comparative
literature), or it may simply serve to round out a
student's liberal arts program. Anthropology allows
students to learn about the peoples and cultures of
the world, past and present, while becoming well
versed in the research methods, theoretical
perspectives (such as culture change) and practice
applications of anthropology in today's world. Some
students may decide to plan their studies around a
particular area of the world. In such cases, the
International Education office gives assistance in
planning appropriate study-abroad experiences.
Comparative Cultures graduates have chosen
careers in teaching, inteqireting, foreign service,
religious vocations or international business.

THE COLLEGIUM OF
CREATIVE ARTS

Creative Arts Collegium faculty are dedicated to
promoting the development of creativity in each
person and the integration of the physical,
emotional, intellectual, and spiritual dimensions
of the self. Sharing a belief in the value of
experiential learning, members of the Collegium
recognize that students learn as much through
experiencing the creative process as in the
completion of a product. In addition to the
programs in art, music, theatre, and creative
writing, where students are encouraged to explore
and express their talents within the context of
freedom with responsibility, the Collegium
includes the human development program where
learning to help others realize their full potential is
the primary goal. Interdisciplinary study, indepen-
dent work, and application of knowledge in the
community are fostered in the Creative Arts
Collegium.

THE COLLEGIUM OF LETTERS

The Collegium of Letters is composed of students
and faculty who have in common an interest in
human beings, past and present — their history,
literary and artistic products, religious commit-
ments, political involvements, and philosophical
groupings. TTie study of who we are by looking at
what we are doing and the works and institutions
created by our predecessors provides the relevance,
vitality, and excitement of our program. This
humane interest has value in and of itself. In
addition, it provides a fundamental background for
a wide variety of futures — vocational or through
professional and graduate schools — as the
experience of our graduates attests.

THE COLLEGIUM OF
NATURAL SCIENCES

The Collegium of Natural Sciences brings
together biologists, chemists, environmentalists,
earth scientists, marine scientists, computer
scientists, mathematicians, physicists, and those
interested in the health professions, including
medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry and
medical technology.

The major emphasis of the Collegium is on dae
development of the skills of observation, experimental
design, problem-solving, research and the study of the
principles and concepts that are necessary to successful

scientific investigation. The prograiiis in the natural
sciences are geared to provide students with informa-
tion and techniques that can he applied to the
problems of a changing society.

ment to individual attention, and its desire to help
students learn how to effectively navigate the
infomiation maze. To learn more about the library,

THE ECKERD COLLEGE
LIBRARY

The library- supports the educational mission of
the college by providing facilities, resources and
services designed to enhance student learning. In
this constantly changing and increasingly complex
world the ability' to locate and use needed
information has become a crucial skill. Tlie library
staff's primary goal is to help students achieve
competency in this endeavor. Instruction begins in
Autumn Term and progresses through upperclass
le\'els where students are encouraged to make use
of sophisticated computer technology, as well as
more traditional print resources. During all four
years the emphasis is on providing the personal
attention that makes for a quality learning
experience.

Designed to meet the needs of undergraduate
students and conveniently located in the center of
the campus, the library's book collection contains
over 125,000 volumes. In addition, the library'
subscribes to 840 periodicals and provides access
to thousands of others through a variety' of
electronic resources. The library's catalog and
electronic subscriptions are accessible via both the
campus Intranet and, in most cases, the World
Wide Web. To augment its own holdings, the
library has a reciprocal borrowing agreement with
the Poynter Library at the University of South
Florida - St. Petersburg and provides computerized
interlibrary loan access to thousands of other
libraries throughout the United States.

In the spring of 2002 the College announced the
receipt of two gifts totaling $13 million for the
construction of a new state-of-the-art library
facility. Overlooking the Chapel Pond, it will
provide an open and inviting environment for
both study and leisure reading as well as provide
for continued collection growth and universal
computer connectivity. This new facility will
enable us to provide well into the 2 P' century not
only the resources and training necessary for
academic and professional success, but for those
personally enriching encounters that are the
hallmark of the liberal arts tradition. Indeed, the
library staff is fully committed to this tradition,
priding itself on its approachability, its commit-

THE CO^CURRICULAR
PROGRAM

The philosophy of the Co-curricular Program at
Eckerd College is shaped by the convictions that
significant intentional learning takes place both
within and beyond the classroom, that there
should be coordination and integration between a
student's academic and co-curricular learning
experiences, and that a student should be given an
opportunity to pursue learning activities in each of
the major co-curricular areas. These include
community service, career exploration, cultural
appreciation, leadership development, health and
fitness, and spiritual and religious pursuits.

Students are given manifold opportunities to
pursue learning activities beyond the classroom
and to document co-curricular involvement and
special recognitions on their Co-curricular
Transcripts. Eckerd College is among a small
number of colleges that utilizes a formal transcript
to certify co-curricular activity. The Co-curricular
Transcript system at Eckerd College illustrates the
high value that the College places on co-curricular
learning and provides a valuable official record
that students may utilize when applying for
professional positions, graduate program admis-
sion, and other post-graduate opportunities. A
student should contact the Campus Activities
office in Brown Hall to establish a Co-curricular
Transcript file.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
SERVICES

In recent years, Eckerd college has made major
in\'estments in information technology. A fiber
optic netw'ork using high-speed ATM technology has
been extended to every donnitory, classroom
building and office building on campus. There are
general purpose computing labs, including small labs
in domiitory clusters, and more specialized labs, such
as the scientific computing lab and those in the
physics, chemistry, biology, marine science, math-
ematics, psychology, and creative arts areas.
Microsoft Office and many specialized software
packages are installed on these systems or accessible
via local area networks. Scanning stations, laser and
color ink jet printers and other peripheral equipment
are also provided. Full-time professional staff and
student lab assistants ser\'e the campus community in
many of these labs and in other settings as well.

Each student has an email account, and on-
campus residents have voice mail and cable TV
available in their dorm rooms. Donns, classrooms,
and labs are wired into the campus network and
connected to the Internet through a high-speed
Tl line. Many classrooms and auditoriums have
permanent video-data projectors, and there is also
a video production studio. The library has a state-
of-the-art automation system and a multitude of
information resources available on the World
Wide Web and on CD-ROMs.

The Director of Instructional Technology Pro-
grams serves as an in-house consultant to faculty
who want to redesign their courses to make better
use of technology, and the Academic Resource
Center provides hardware, software, and network-
ing support to those faculty members.

Eckerd College intends to remain technologically
advanced and to provide both its students and its
faculty with tools that can make the academic
process both more effective and more efficient.

SPECIAL ACADEMIC
PROGRAMS

PRE'PROFESSIONAL
PROGRAMS

Eckerd College regards liberal education as
essential to thorough professional training and
unites a broad freedom of student choice with
graduate education in a number of fields: for law
and medical school, medical technology, the
ministry, engineering, management, business
administration, and selected public service, human
development and community professions.

Eckerd seeks to provide pre-professional ex-
perience through intensively supervised intern-
ships rather than by professional and pre-
professional courses that tend to limit the scope
and quality of liberal education. Students in
management take certain specialized courses, such
as accounting, and prepare themselves through
internships carefully planned with the Mentor of
the management program. Similarly, human
relations occupations involve a thorough liberal
arts base, to which are added supervised field and
employment experiences designed to meet the
particular interest and need of the student.

ENGINEERING AND
APPLIED SCIENCE —
DUAL DEGREE PROGRAM

The engineering and applied science program is
designed for students who wish to combine a
broad, values-oriented knowledge base with one of
many fields of engineering or applied science.
Students may pursue a career in applied science or
one of many engineering disciplines including
electrical, civil, chemical, industrial, aerospace,
textile, nuclear, biomedical, or systems engineer-
ing. Students complete all requirements for majors
at both institutions.

Students apply to Eckerd College for regular
admission and spend three years at Eckerd taking
mathematics and science courses that will qualify
them to enter an engineering program at the
Junior level. In general, students take Calculus 1,
11, and III; Differential Equations; General
Chemistry I and II; Fundamental Physics I and II;
and Introduction to Computer Science, along
with the general education requirements and the
requirements of an Eckerd College major. Some of
the courses required for the Eckerd College major
may be completed at the other institution. The
detailed curriculum depends on the student's
choice of engineering college and specific degree
program. Students may attend an engineering
winter term before they transfer to the engineering
college.

Upon successful completion of the three-year
portion of the program (requirements of grade
point average vary somewhat) and recommen-
dation of Eckerd College, a student is admitted to
an engineering college, where the dual-degree
requirements may normally be completed in two
years. The student is then awarded degrees from
both Eckerd College and the engineering school.

At present, Eckerd cooperates in dual-degree
programs in engineering and applied science with
Washington University (St. Louis), Auburn
University, the University of Miami, Columbia
University and Georgia Institute of Technology.
Students may also apply to engineering schools
with which we do not have formal agreements.
Many engineering schools accept transfer stu-
dents. Several such schools have supplied us with
advice and information on which courses would
best prepare students to transfer into engineering
at the Junior level.

Due to the sequential prerequisite requirements, it
is vital for dual degree candidates to obtain
counseling early in their careers at Eckerd College.

RESERVE OFFICERS TRAINING
CORPS (ROTC)

Eckerd College provides both an Air Force and
Army ROTC program through cross-enrollment
agreement with the University of South Florida in
Tampa.

Air Force ROTC

Students who complete the program, which
consists of either a four year or two year program,
are commissioned as second lieutenants and
guaranteed a position in the active Air Force.
Completion of 12-16 course hours of instruction
and enrollment in a weekly, non-credit leadership
laboratory are recjuired of all students.

Army ROTC

Students who complete the program, which
consists of four courses in military science, a weekly
leadership laboratory, and one summer camp, are
commissioned in the United States Army.

Both programs are open to men and women, and
scholarships are available on a competitive basis to
qualified students. See ROTC under the course
description section of this catalog.

RAHALL COMMUNICATION
PROGRAM

The purpose of the Farris and Victoria Rahall
Communication Program is to help students
develop effective oral communication skills; teach
the fundamental principles of fair, responsible and
ethical journalism; and provide practical experi-
ence through internships. In addition to offering
courses in media ethics, the Rahall Professor of
Communication works closely with faculty across
the curriculum to provide opportunities for
students to develop their speaking skills and with a
variety of media firms in the Tampa Bay area to
place students on internships in the communica-
tion industry.

THE WRITING CENTER

The purpose of the Writing Center is to enhance
student learning by helping students to become
more organized in investigating and more articu-
late in formulating ideas. Working closely with the
Foundations Collegium, the staff and tutors of the
Writing Center aid students who wish to improve
writing skills and competence in research.
Assistance is offered to all Eckerd students, with
special workshops on preparation of Writing
Competency portfolios, tutoring for non-native
writers, consulting on Senior theses, and indi-
vidual help on all writing tasks.

Resources include 18 Macintosh workstations,
desktop publishing, CD-ROM databases, software
for collaborative writing, word processing, data
graphics, design, page layout, hypermedia; a library
of composition theory and pedagogy; professional
and peer consultants.

THE CENTER FOR THE
APPLIED LIBERAL ARTS

Through its Center for the Applied Liberal Arts
(CALA), Eckerd College provides off-campus and
experiential learning opportunities aimed at
enhancing students' academic and personal
development, and bridging their transition from
college to graduate study or employment. The
programs of the Center include study abroad
experiences, domestic and international intern-
ships, service learning opportunities, career
planning assistance, and graduate and professional
school admissions resources. The Center is
comprised of the Office of International Education
and Off-Campus Programs, the Office of Career
Resources, and the Office of the Associate Dean
and Director of CALA. Adjunct resources also
are drawn from the Oifice of Campus Activities
and the Office of Service Ministry.

The approach of the center is integrative and
holistic. The student is encouraged to begin the
process of career exploration early and, with his or
her mentor, plan an academic program, internship
experiences, service learning projects, and study
abroad experiences that both flow from and
enhance the student's ongoing process of career
exploration. Students face a myriad of career
choices and a graduate school and employment
environment that is dynamic and competitive.
From the moment that first year students arrive for
Autumn Term, the resources of the Center are
available to assist them.

INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION

Eckerd College believes that a liberally educated
person should be at home in other cultures and
tries to give every student the chance to study
abroad. Consequently, Eckerd offers a variety of
overseas programs, including short terms in the
winter and summer, and full year or semester
programs for students in almost all majors.

Winter Term Abroad

Eckerd's annual winter term offerings overseas
each January are nationally recognized. Programs
are led by Eckerd faculty members who have
professional expertise in the country visited.
Projects vary each year, but typically programs are
available in such places as Italy, England, Greece,
Austria, Mexico, Russia, South America, Asia,
and the Caribbean.

Semester and Year Abroad

Varied locations and curricula provide a wide
range of opportunities. Programs are available in
London where the Eckerd College Study Centre is
staffed by both American and British faculty.
Eckerd also has exchange arrangements with two
universities in Japan - Kansai Gaidai near Osaka
and Nanzan University in Nagoya - and with
Ewha Womans University in Seoul, Korea as well
as with United Kingdom institutions in Plymouth,
Aberdeen, and Glasgow. TTirough our affiliation
with the International Student Exchange Program
(ISEP) many exchange opportunities worldwide
are available, and recently students have spent a
year or semester in locations such as Sweden,
Korea, Mexico, the Netherlands, Australia,
Germany, Argentina, Uruguay, and France.

The Office of International Education seeks to
provide students with study abroad programs best
suited to their particular academic needs.

Summer Term Abroad

Study abroad opportunities may be available
during the summer months in a variety of loca-
tions. Offerings change from year to year, and may
cover a broad range of topics. The Program for
Experienced Learners (PEL), in cooperation with
the International Education office, plans summer
term programs that are open to all students.

Previous programs have included study/travel to
London, Paris, Greece, and Mexico. The Interna-
tional Education office provides catalogs and
resource materials for students to review when
planning independent study/travel projects..

Off -Campus Programs

Our academic calendar pennits off-campus study
for periods of one month (January), one semester
(14 weeks), and up to a full academic year.
Upperclass students are encouraged to take
advantage of programs and facilities not available
at Eckerd through the off-campus program. It is
possible to participate in group projects with a
faculty leader or to contract independent studies
of the student's own design. During winter term
(January), group projects such as an archaeological
dig in the Southwest, government operations in
Washington, DC, or urban problems in Chicago
are possible. Independent projects for individual
students have been undertaken in industry, the
Argonne Laboratories, marine research, and at an
Indian reservation. The winter term, through
cooperation with other schools having a similar
calendar, provides for intensive projects on other
campuses throughout the United States.

The Off -Campus Programs office in GALA assists
students in making arrangements, preparing
contracts, and providing information and ideas
related to various choices. The subject of the
project determines the particular off-campus
location.

Sea Semester

Eckerd College provides an opportunity for
qualified students to earn a semester of credit in an
academic, scientific, and practical experience
leading to a realistic understanding of the sea,
sponsored by the Sea Education Association, Inc.
(S.E.A.).

Students spend the first half of the semester (the
six-week shore component) in Woods Hole,
Massachusetts, receiving instruction in ocean-
ography, nautical science and maritime studies.
They then go to sea for the second half of the
semester (the six-week sea component) for a
practical laboratory experience. For course
descriptions see page 98. Students interested in
the Sea Semester are required to make application
through the International Education and Off-
Campus Programs office.

CAREER RESOURCES

A liberal education should not be considered
separate from the economic, social, and political
realities of life. With increasing insistence,
employers and professional associations are asking
career-minded students to relate fundamental
education in liberal arts fields to long-range plans.
Further, they stress the value of a solid liberal arts
background for business or professional careers.

Woven into your academic program during your
four years at Eckerd is a program to help you
examine your career and professional goals. The
Office of Career Resources offers one or more of a
variety of experiences: one-to-one and group
career counseling to assist in making decisions
which integrate academic programs, career
planning, and general lifestyle; internship and
field experience placements which involve unpaid
work experiences or observation either with a
professional person or in a special social environ-
ment; paid work experiences related to current
academic studies and long-range career goals;
discipline internships such as community studies,
leisure studies, or management; and placement
services to assist you in finding part-time and
summer employment while in school, but prima-
rily to enable you to select either the appropriate
post-graduate education or the vocational career
that fits your personal aptitudes, desires, and
objectives.

EXPERIENTIAL AND
COMMUNITY-BASED
LEARNING

Among the better ways for a student to test the
waters of an intended career path, or gain neces-
sary experience in a field, is to complete a formal
internship, shadow a working professional, or
engage in a service learning activity. The com-
bined resources of the offices of Career Resources,
Campus Activities, and Service Ministry enable
the Center for Applied Liberal Arts to offer
students a variety of options in experiential and
community-based learning.

The Center maintains a bank of cooperating sites
in which to place students in paid or unpaid field
experiences in a variety of fields and academic
disciplines. A student may pursue a field experi-
ence as a co-curricular activity or, when appropri-
ate, as a formal credit-bearing internship. Such an
internship requires the approval and sponsorship

of an Eckerd College faculty member.

The responsibilities that constitute the shared
commitment of members of the Eckerd commu-
nity include the responsibility to seek out opportu-
nities to prepare for a life of leadership and service.
Students may pursue community service as a co-
curricular volunteer activity or as a part of a class
that has been designed by the professor with a
service option or requirement. Such a class
integrates a relevant service experience into the
work of the course in ways that address specific
community needs while furthering the learning
objectives of the course. Courses that have a
service learning option or requirement have been
offered both on campus and in conjunction with
travel experiences to other regions of the country
or the world.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Eckerd College has been committed to inter-
national education since its inception. While we
continue to provide opportunities for students to
enrich their education abroad (see International
Education page 13) one need go no further than
the campus itself to experience a taily cosmopoli-
tan environment. The International Student
Affairs office sponsors support programs and
activities for students coming from more than 65
different nations to pursue a variety of studies
here. There are two distinct groups of interna-
tional students at Eckerd College: those who study
in the ELS Language Center and those who are
degree seeking students.

These international students enrich the campus
environment with their diverse cultural origins
and ethnic backgrounds by providing face-to face
opportunities for cross-cultural exchange in
classroom and other settings. The breadth of this
experience is celebrated annually during the
Festival of Cultures with exhibits, entertainment,
and ethnic delicacies from around the world.

SUMMER TERM

TTe summer term is an eight-week tenn consisting
of two four-week sessions. Courses are available in
June (session A), July (session B), and through the
full eight-week summer term. A preliminary
announcement of courses and fees is published in
April. Regularly enrolled Eckerd students and
students enrolled and in good standing at other
colleges and universities are eligible for admission.

High school students who have completed their
Sophomore year and present evidence (usually a
transcript and a recommendation from a principal
or counselor) of their ahility to do introductory
level college work, are eligible for admission with a
scholarship which covers 50 percent of the regular
tuition. Students entering Eckerd in the summer
with the intention of becoming degree candidates
must make formal application tor admission to the
Dean of Admissions.

Summer courses may replace courses missed during
the academic year or accelerate graduation.
Additional infomiation about summer term courses
maybe obtained from the Summer School office.

PROGRAM FOR EXPERIENCED
LEARNERS

The Program for Experienced Learners (PEL) is a
degree-completion program designed specifically
for adult learners who are strongly motivated, yet
have career or personal obligations which keep
them from enrolling in a more traditional degree
program. Because of the flexible and personal
nature of the program, most students are able to
continue working full-time while pursuing the
bachelor's degree.

PEL was founded on the belief that learning is not
necessarily limited to a formal classroom setting.
Credit may be awarded when experiential learning
is comparable to academic coursework, relevant to
academic goals, and well documented.

Admissions Requirements

Qualities such as personal commitment, perse-
verance and self-discipline are necessary for
success in PEL.

Basically, the guidelines for admission are:

1 . Applicants must be at least 25 years of age.

2. Applicants must have a high school diploma
or high school equivalency diploma. College
experience is desirable; transfer credit for "C"
or better grades will be awarded when
ctxirsework is appropriate for a liberal arts and
sciences education and is relevant to career
goals.

3. Applicants must complete an application,
including an essay, and demonstrate goals
consistent with program objectives and the
ability and motivation to benefit from the
program.

4. Following admission, students must complete
the required Life, Learning and Vocation
course with a C or better grade.

Meeting Degree Requirements

The Bachelor's degree requires successful comple-
tion of a minimum of 36 courses. PEL students
may meet degree requirements through transfer
credit, experiential learning, fomial courses,
directed or independent study, tutorials, travel/
study programs, and residential program courses.
PEL offers courses in St. Petersburg, North
Pinellas, Tampa, Sarasota, Seminole, and Venice.

Major and Degrees

PEL students are awarded either the Bachelor of
Arts or Bachelor of Science degree, the same
degrees conferred in the residential program.
Students pursue a variety of majors or con-
centrations, including business management,
human development, organizational studies,
American studies, interdisciplinary humanities,
creative writing, information systems, visual arts,
and others. The degree preserves the basic features
of the Eckerd College program by emphasizing the
liberal arts as part of each student's education, but
also recognizes the importance of relating general
knowledge to special career concerns.

Financial Aid

Several types of financial aid are available to
qualified students, including the Pell Grant,
Florida Resident Access Grant, Federally Insured
Student Loans, and VA benefits.

NX^en Eckerd College started the Program for
Experienced Learners, it set PEL tuition rates
considerably lower than those for the Residential
Program. Given this tuition discount, Eckerd
College scholarships that are available for students
in the Residential Program may not be used in the
Program for Experienced Learners. There are,
however, some specific scholarships for PEL
students, and short term loan funds that have been
established to assist qualified PEL students.
Contact PEL Financial Services at (727)864-8981
or (800)234-4735.

Another popular form of financial assistance for
the PEL students is through tuition reimbursement
programs sponsored by private corporations and
government agencies. Many PEL students have
tound that their employers are very cooperative in
helping to meet their college expenses. Informa-
tion on private loans and payment plans is also
available.

FORD APPRENTICE
SCHOLARS PROGRAM

The Ford Apprentice Scholar Program at Eckerd
College, initiated by a grant from the Ford
Foundation, pro\'ides opportunity tor 20 selected
Juniors each year to participate in a two year
enhanced program designed to develop the skills
and habits of professional scholars and to encour-
age them to consider college and university
teaching as a career.

The students selected take a course in the Junior
year in the history of ideas and do optional
research with their Faculty Sponsors during the
summer. In the Senior year, they work closely with
the Faculty Sponsors in an enhanced major and

take a Senior Colloquium. Funds are available for
summer and research support. The two Ford
courses may be used to fulfill the Humanities
academic area requirement and either the Global
or Environmental perspective requirement.

THE HONORS PROGRAM

The Honors Program at Eckerd College provides
enhanced opportunities for independent study and
research to students of outstanding ability.
Selected students are brought together for close
interaction and advanced work, such studies
receiving permanent recognition on the students'
transcripts.

Honors students meet all general education
requirements. In addition, first-year Honors
students meet for additional special sessions of the
college's two Freshman core courses, Western
Heritage in a Global Context I and II, for which
an extra course credit is awarded. In the second
and third years of the Honors program, partici-
pants take two courses designated as Honors
courses as part of their general education require-
ments. These Honors courses should represent
different perspective or academic areas. Seniors in
the Honors Program participate in a colloquium in
which they present their Senior thesis research,
creative projects, or their work for comprehensive
examinations.

Students who wish to be considered for the Honors
Program in the Freshman year must file an accept-
able application for admission to Eckerd College by
February 15. In addition, interested students must
file an application for the Presidential Scholarship
competition by March 1 . The students selected as
Presidential Scholars will be the group invited to
the Freshman Honors program. Presidential
Scholars are chosen by a committee of faculty- and
students on the basis of high school academic
records, personal essays, teacher recommendations,
standardized test scores, and evidence of leadership
and service to others. Interested students are
encouraged to write the Dean of Admissions for
additional information.

New transfer students and students already
enrolled in the college, including students who
may have applied unsuccessfully to the Honors
Program earlier, are also eligible for admission as
vacancies in the program occur at the upper levels.
Students who are interested in making application
to the Honors Program after they are enrolled in
the college should contact the director of the
Honors Program.

MAJORS AND AREAS OF CONCENTRATION

At Eckerd College, efforts are made to tailor
programs of study to the particular needs and
interests of individual students. To help guide
students with the selection of courses, the faculty
has approved a number of disciplinary and
interdisciplinary majors.

Brief descriptions of majors are included under
each discipline heading in the course description
section of this catalog. Students desiring more
specific information about major programs should
consult their Mentors, coUegial chairpersons and
discipline coordinators. A list of the
facult^'-approved majors follows.

A major or concentration must require at least
eight but no more than sixteen courses, of which
at least eight in a discipline major must he in the
discipline. No major or concentration can require
more than twelve courses in one discipline.

Students desiring to design their own programs of
study are encouraged to develop an individualized

area of concentration in cooperation with their
Mentors. The proposed plan of study must
ultimately be approved and have identified with it
a specific committee of at least three faculty
members. The approved study plan must he filed
in the Registrar's office early in the Junior year.

ACADEMIC CREDIT

Credit toward a degree is awarded for satisfactory
course completion, independent study, directed
study, academic work certified by another
accredited degree-granting institution, and
proficiency demonstrated by examination.

Ordinarily credit is earned by course completion.
A normal full-time academic load is eight courses
plus an autumn tenn in the Freshman year and
eight courses plus a winter term project in each
subsequent year.

Credit may be earned through independent study
by students who exhibit both the self-discipline
and mastery of the methodologies demanded by
the subject matter selected by the student. An
independent study project is designed by a student
in consultation with the professor who is to
supervise and evaluate the work. An academic
contract, drawn in advance, specifies the subject
and method of inquiry, the texts, the purpose of
the project, and the basis of evaluation and credit.
Each contract must be approved by the Dean of

Faculty. Independent study options are available
for both on and off-campus opportunities.
Freshmen are not permitted to take off-campus
independent studies. Independent study forms
are available from the Registrar.

Provision is also made for credit by directed
study. Both independent study and directed
study require advance planning by the instructor
and student. While initiative rests with the
student for design of independent study, in
directed study the instructor is responsible for
supplying a syllabus which defines the program.
Directed study syllabi are available from the
Registrar.

Credit is granted by transfer from accredited
degree-granting institutions, up to a limit of 16
courses, plus one Autumn and one Winter Term
for a total of 1 8 Eckerd College course equiva-
lents . A student entering Eckerd College should
request that an official transcript of work done in
other institutions be sent to the Registrar. An

official transcript is required from each institution
attended. When the transcript has been evaluated,
the applicant is notified of the credit accepted by
transfer. Eckerd College students who wish to
enroll for part of their programs at other institu-
tions should have the approval in advance of their
Mentors, appropriate discipline faculty, and the
Registrar. For more infom^ation on transfer credit,
please seepage 110.

Credit for demonstrated proficiency is awarded
when a student applies for it with the Registrar
and successfully completes appropriate examina-
tions. College Level Examination Programs are

recognized for both advanced placement and
academic credit. For more information on CLEP,
see page 111.

The college recognizes that many experiences
outside the classroom may contribute to a
student's prc^gram. Internships, participation in
community projects, and field experience may be
accorded credit if closely coordinated with the
student's academic program. Such experience
ordinarily constitutes a part of a regular course or
independent study project.

THE GRADING SYSTEM

The standard grading system of the college is A
(Superior Work), B (Good Work), C (Satisfactory
Work), D (Poor Work), and F (Unacceptable
Work). The instructor of a course may also add a
plus ( + ) or minus (-) to a final grade except a plus
to an A or a plus or minus to an F. All courses in
which any C grade or higher has been earned shall
count toward fulfilling degree requirements. A
course in which any D grade is earned may fulfill
degree requirements subject to limitations in
specific majors.

A grade c^f I (Incomplete) indicates that all course
requirements are m)t complete by the end of the
term and that, in the judgment of the instructor,
extension of deadline is appropriate. Unless an
earlier deadline is set by the instructor, a student
will have thirty days into the next regular semester
to complete the required work. If the work is not
completed by that time, or the shorter deadline
imposed by the instructor, the Incomplete will
automatically become an F.

In case of formal voluntary withdrawal before the
end of the eighth week of a semester, a grade of W
is recorded. If withdrawal occurs after that point, a
grade of F is recorded. A W that results from an
involuntary withdrawal must be validated with the
Registrar at the time of withdrawal or as soon
thereafter as possible.

A Credit/No Credit grading option is available in
each course/project tor students who are at least
second semester Freshmen. Students desiring this
grading option must petition tor the approval of
the course instructor, the Mentor, and the Dean of
Faculty'. Petitions must he submitted prior to the
beginning of a semester or term. Grades of Credit
and No Credit cannot be subsequently changed to
letter grades.

All grades are reported to students and entered on
the official record of the college. Grades of F will
not be removed from the transcript. A notation
will be recorded on the transcript of any substitute
grade earned. Students may not repeat a course for
credit unless they receive a D, need to repeat the
course in order to progress in sequence, and have
the approval of the instructor and academic dean.
Both the original course and the repeated course
remain on the student's transcript, but only one of
these courses may be used to meet the graduation
requirement of 36 credits (32 courses and four
short terms).

CLASS ATTENDANCE

Students are expected to attend all classes in
courses for which they are registered. There is no
college-wide attendance requirement, but
individual instructors may impose attendance
requirements in particular courses.

A "student" is defined as one who has attended or
is attending Eckerd College and whose records are
in the files of the College. Student records to
which this policy applies do not include files
retained by individual faculty/staff members which
are not accessible to any other person except a
substitute designated by the faculty/staff member.

Public information is limited to name, address, e-mail
address, phone, major field of study, dates of atten-
dance, admission or enrollment status, school or
division, class standing, degrees arid awards, partici-
pation in officially recognized activities and sports,

The employment records to which students do not
have access are records kept in the normal course
of business which relate exclusively to students as
employees. Medical records are kept in the
Student Health Center. This office rigidly
protects the confidentiality of those records, but
they can be reviewed by a physician or appropriate
professional of the student-patient's choice.

Student records are open to members of the
faculty and staff who have a legitimate need to
know their contents, except where access is
prohibited by special policies such as those
governing medical records. The determination of
those who have a "legitimate need to know" will

records to specific individuals. A notification of
releases made to third parties must be kept in the
student's record. This notification is open only to
the student and the person in charge of the record.
The third party must be informed that no release
of personally identifiable data is authorized
without the written consent of the student.

This policy does not preclude the destruction of any
record if the College does not consider it germane.

ART

The visual arts major is process and project oriented.
Students develop their own area of emphasis,
focusing on imager^' and content through their
chosen media. The major should be seen as the
central part of the student's education, with other
college requirements and electives serving to shape
the young artist as a whole person.

Specific focus and courses for the major are worked
out with a visual arts Mentor. Every program must
consist of a minimum of ten studio courses, including
AR lOlA, 102A, and 320, plus two approved
courses in art history from outside the discipline.
Every student must pass the required Sophomore
show review in the categories of drawing and design
before undertaking the Senior thesis exhibition. The
Senior thesis exhibition is required of all majors for
graduation, and must demonstrate technical
competence and a developed artistic vision, the
ability to work in a sustained way with a visual
problem or problems, and to organize gallery space
coherently. A required Senior seminar in the final
semester concludes the visual arts major.

Requirement for Junior Transfer Students

A student transferring from another college at the
Junior level and electing to major in art must submit
a portfolio of work demonstrating competency in
drawing and design as a substitute for the required
Sophomore show. Students unprepared to submit a
portfolio or who do not demonstrate competency in
both areas may not expect to graduate in two years
with a major in visual arts. The normal four year
program moves from structured courses, to greater
freedom, to the independently executed Senior
thesis show.

BIOLOGY

The biology major is designed to give a broad pre-
professional background for students interested in
careers in biology, molecular biology, biomedical
science, environment science, and related fields.

Biology students are required to demonstrate basic
knowledge in seven areas of the life sciences
(invertebrate, vertebrate, botany, cell, genetics,
physiology and ecology). They learn how to develop
experiments to test appropriate hypotheses, use skills
and laboratory techniques necessary for investigative
research, gather and analyze data, and evaluate and
synthesize information thus obtained. They gain an
appreciation of the history of the life sciences and
see their connection to study areas included in the
biology major curriculum, and the relationship of
information gained from a scientific perspective to
values-oriented issues in their lives. Through this
program, students also have the opportunity to
improve and perfect their listening, writing and
speaking abilities. Students demonstrate achieve-
ment of the biology program by satisfactory comple-
tion of a Senior comprehensive exam or Senior
thesis, and ordinarily the courses listed below:

COMPARATIVE LITERATURE

Comparative literature is an interdisciplinary
approach to literature. Students declare three areas:
five courses in a literature (commonly English and/
or American), three courses in a foreign language
(such as French, German or Spanish), of which at
least two are literature courses, and two courses in a
second foreign language (at any level), or in another
discipline (such as history, religion, philosophy, etc.),
or in an approved specialty (world literature in
translation, myth, the Don Juan tradition, etc.).
Students should have one course using comparative
methodology. Linguistics and literary criticism are
recommended.

Students develop competencies in comparative
techniques, literary analogues and influences,
research methods, and interdisciplinary work.
Coursework is shaped to individual student pro-
grams, typically moving from introductory levels to
advanced work, often culminating in a thesis.

COMPOSITION

Composition courses emphasize the ways different
writing processes lead to successful learning and
communication. All address the conventions of
expository writing, standard English usage, documen-
tation, and preparation of portfolios for competency
evaluation. Students in composition courses are
urged to complete their assignments using the word
processing facilities in the College's computer
laboratories. The Writing Center, a service of the
Writing Excellence Program, supplements composi-
tion courses and provides assistance to students
regarding any writing task.

important avocation. Workshop students learn the
crafts of journalism, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, the
play and the screenplay, and develop individual
voices. They also learn to articulate and defend
reasoned critical opinions. Course work must include
six courses in literature and four workshops-fiction,
poetry and one of the following: playwriting,
screenwriting, journal writing, the personal essay,
journalism, publishing and the writing career. In
consultation with the mentor, in special cases
(involving a writing interest best served by study
outside the literature track) students may substitute
for one literature course, two courses from another
discipline. Seniors are required to complete a thesis.
The thesis committee will include two full-time
creative writing faculty and a third member from any
other discipline. Concentrations in creative writing
for theater and writing for advertising and public
relations are also available.

In the first year, students take any workshop at the
200 level and 100 or 200 level literature courses. In
subsequent years, students build upon this founda-
tion by 1 ) taking intermediate and advanced courses
in fiction and poetry and courses in playwriting,
screenwriting, journals, etc., and 2) developing a
cluster of literature courses defined by a particular
interest (e.g., modem and contemporary British and

American poetry and fiction) and/or supported by
courses from other disciplines (e.g., American studies
or history of modem Britain).

Writing Workshop students are required to take
fiction and poetry workshops from the residential
Writing Workshop faculty. Profs. Watson and Ward,

learned and apply it to a contemporary real world
case.

This course will examine the dissolution of Yugosla-
via from the end of the Cold War in 1989 until

ethnicity and nationalism and the particular role
they play in the Balkans. We will look at the history
of the area in general and focus in on the last ten

International Studies

years as the republics of the former Yugoslavia have
declared their independence. Using films as well as
hooks and articles, we will study the various
diplomatic initiatives undertaken by the interna-
tional community to stabilize the area and impose
"peace." We will consider ethnic cleansing and the
refugee issue, peacekeeping, use offeree, the
influence of the media, the role of personality in
decision making, questions of human rights and
international law.

INTERNATIONAL STUDIES

The International Studies major allows a student to
design a program that combines language study, area
studies courses, a living experience in the target
culture, and a core discipline into an integrated
program of study. A committee of three faculty
members works with the student to select courses,
plan the international experience, and supervise the
senior comprehensive or thesis. Normally one of the
members of this committee is the chair of the
Comparative Cultures Collegium.

Students in this program must acquire a language
competence at the advanced level. Normally an
intermediate level o( language competence is
required prior to the international experience. One
semester supervised residence abroad in a selected
geographical area related to the major is a special
feature of this program. This experience may be a
language and cultural study program, a practical
internship, or a job-related opportunity.

The major consists of a minimum of twelve courses
in addition to language study. Students must take
Introduction to Anthropology or its equivalent, a
minimum of five courses related to the cultural area,
and five courses from a core discipline. In
addition, students will complete a senior comprehen-
sive or a thesis.

Students who complete the international studies
major should be able to demonstrate a command of
at least one foreign language; a knowledge of the
social, political, and cultural structures of one
particular country or area of the world; an under-
standing of the disciplinary perspective of one
academic field; and an ability to write, think, and
speak effectively in expressing the interrelatedness of
peoples and cultures. Typically, students in this
program have proceeded to graduate study in
international relations or international studies, and
have pursued careers in journalism, law, language
teaching, international business, or employment in
international service organizations.

vocabulary of approximately 500 words and the
ability to read moderately difficult prose. English

LAW AND JUSTICE

The minor in Law & Justice is designed explicitly for
students who are planning to attend law school.
Students completing the minor will gain important
legal knowledge and skills that should serve them
well in law school and later in law-related careers.
The minor requires the successful completion two
foundational courses: Criminal Justice and Constitu-
tional Law. Thereafter, students are free to choose
three additional courses from a list of law-related
courses offered across the College's curriculum. In
recent years, elective courses for the minor have
included:

- International Law

- Juvenile Delinquency

- Conflict Studies

- Civil Rights.

Completion of this minor exposes students to the
major principles underlying American law, the case
method of legal study, and the role of law in
American society. The College's Pre-Law Advisor
oversees the minor in Law & Justice and assists
students in the program, providing them with career
advice and assistance with the law school admission
process.

Students choosing a minor in Law & Justice are
strongly encouraged to select a complementary major
in consultation with the College's Pre-law Advisor.
The Law & Justice minor is ideal for students
majoring in several other programs offered at the
College. Students interested in eventually pursuing a
career in environmental law can pair the minor with
a major in Environmental Studies. Those interested
in a career in corporate law can combine a Law &
Justice minor with a major in Business Administra-
tion or Management. A minor in Law & Justice
could complement a major in International Rela-
tions & Global Affairs for those interested in going
into the field of International Law.

MANAGEMENT

The management major rests on two principal
foundations: teaching management in a liberal arts
environment and teaching the general management
core requirements that comprise the accepted body
of knowledge in the discipline. The management
major is designed to prepare the student for an entry
level managerial position in an organization or for
graduate school. The ultimate goal of the program is
to prepare students for responsible management and
leadership positions in business and society, both
domestic and intemational.

The management major is designed to meet the
needs of three categories of students: undergraduate
majors in management, minors in management and
finance, and dual majors; and to integrate the
general education and liberal arts emphasis through-
out the four-year program of instmction.

At Eckerd College, the practice of management is
viewed as a liberal art. The management major
stresses developing ideas, problem solving, and
communicating solutions rather than the routine
and mechanical application of knowledge and skills.
The management major emphasizes critical think-
ing, effective writing, asking probing questions,
formulating solutions to complex problems, and
assessing ethical implications of decisions.

The management faculty has identified a set of
interdisciplinary management skills or competencies
that students need to acquire but which do not fit
neatly into the boundaries of the core management
requirements described above. These skills build upon
related competencies which students acquire in the
general education program. These are: critical
thinking, decision making and problem solving,
negotiating and resolving conflicts, systemic thinking.
Information processing, entrepreneurship, introspec-
tion, cross-cultural skills and international perspec-
tives, communication, and computer skills. As part of
the liberal arts emphasis, the management major
addresses individual and societal values as a compo-
nent of each course in the program.

In addition to these liberal arts-related competen-
cies, students in the management major also develop
the following management competencies which
build upon the general education program:

- management under uncertain conditions
including policy detemiination at the senior
management level.

- knowledge of the economics of the organization
and of the larger environment within which the
organization operates.

- knowledge of the ethical issues and social and
political influences on organizations.

- concepts of accounting, quantitative methods,
and management information systems including
computer applications.

- knowledge of organizational behavior and
interpersonal communications.

MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY

TTie Medical Technology program offers students a
B.S. or B.A. degree by completing three years of
general studies here and a fourth year of professional
coursework at a hospital which has been approved by
the Council on Medical Education of The American
Medical Association.

The general studies program at Eckerd College must
include a minimum of eleven courses in the Natural
Sciences which are required for certification: four
courses in biology (including microbiology and
immunology); four courses in chemistry (including
organic), one course in mathematics (nomaally
calculus), and two courses in physics. Completion of

Modem Languages

the all-college general education requirements is
expected of all graduates. Senior general education
courses should be taken in advance.

The professional coursework taken during the Senior
year requires that the student spend 1 2 months in
training at a certified hospital to which he/she has
gained admission. For most Eckerd students, this is
Bayfront Medical Center. The student receives
college credit for the laboratory courses taken in that
clinical setting. The baccalaureate is awarded on
successful completion of this coursework with a
major in interdisciplinary science.

In addition, the student receives certification by the
American Society of Clinical Pathologists (ASCP)
after passing an official examination. Supervision of
clinical coursework during the Senior year is carried
out by a program director (an M.D. certified in
clinical pathology by the American Board of
Pathology) and an educational coordinator (a
medical technologist certified by the Registry of
Medical Technologists).

MODERN LANGUAGES

Students may pursue a language major in French,
German or Spanish, a major in Russian studies, or a
major in Modem Languages. Course work is also
available in Chinese, Italian, Japanese and Latin.

The language major consists of eight courses, plus a
Comprehensive Exam (a Senior Thesis or Senior
Project may replace the Comprehensive in certain
cases). Students who place or are placed at the 100
level may count the first year sequence (101-102) or
the one semester intensive toward the major.
Students who transfer in course credits from study
abroad must make sure to take at least one 400 level
course at Eckerd before undertaking the Compre-
hensive Exam. Language majors are expected to
speak the language well enough to he rated at the
Intermediate Low level of proficiency as defined by
the American Council of Teachers of Foreign
Languages (ACTFL). Language majors are therefore
strongly urged to spend at least one semester
studying abroad usually during the Junior year. The
Office of International Education will assist students
in identifying appropriate programs. In addition, all
majors in this field of study are expected to have
tested knowledge in cultural, historical, and literary
understanding. This will be verified by the successful
completion of the Comprehensive Exam. Students
may, at the invitation of the faculty, write a Senior
Thesis or complete a Senior Project instead of taking
the Comprehensive.

All students, before arriving on campus in their
Freshman year, are placed in an appropriate begin-
ning level language course. More advanced language
students, in corisultation with the language faculty,

will choose a course of study which will lead to a
major or double major in a modem foreign language.

Double majors: Students who major in International
Business, International Relations and Global Affairs
or International Studies are strongly encouraged to
develop double majors in combination with French,
German, Russian Studies or Spanish. Fluency in a
second or third lariguage will greatly increase
employability and opportunities for graduate study.
All of the "International" disciplines have strong
language requirements for their majors, and students
would in most cases already be near the completion
of a language major by the time they graduate.
Students who arrive at Eckerd with little or no
experience in a language, or who wish to begin a
new language, can complete a major counting the
first year sequence as part of the requirements.

Majors in modem languages pursue a variety of
careers including education, government, joumal-
ism, business, or graduate school.

Minors are available in Chinese, French, German,
Italian, Spanish or Russian Studies. A minor consists
of five courses, including the first-year sequence.
Accelerated elementary language courses are
numbered SP 1 1 1 or FR 1 12 in the schedule of

MODERN LANGUAGE MAJOR

A major in modem languages consists of a minimum
of eight courses above the elementary level in a
primary language, with a Senior thesis or compre-
hensive exam in that language, plus four courses in a
secondary language above the elementary level, as
determined by the individual disciplines. The overall
comprehensive exam will include the secondary
language. The examining committee will consist of
professors of both languages, and the proficiencies
examined on the courses taken will be: understand-
ing, speaking, reading and writing. It is strongly
recommended that students include elective courses
that are related to the languages pursued. A mini-
mum of one month of residence abroad in the
environment of the primary foreign language is
advised.

MUSIC

The music major provides students with an under-
standing of the Western art music tradition and the
other music traditions which have shaped it through
a series of combination theory/music history courses
and complementary performance courses. Consistent
with the expectatioris of graduate programs in music,
students completing a music major should be able to:

demonstrate listening, sight singing, keyboard
and written theory skills at a high intermediate
level

- analyze and discuss musical works from a

theoretical and historical perspective, both in
oral presentations and in fornnal essays

Music

- apply a wide variety of music research materials
to their own analytic and performance projects

- demonstrate familiarity with the major genres,
styles and composers associated with the music
of the West, as well as familiarity with a number
of music types outside the Western classical
mainstream

- perform on voice or an instrument at more than
an intermediate level, both from a technical
and interpretive standpoint.

The five required introductory courses, ideally
completed no later than the end of the Sophomore
year, are MU 145A (Tonal Theory la), MU 146
(Tonal Theory lb), MUA 221 (Introduction to
Music Literature), MU 356G (World Music), and
either MU 245 A (Choral Literature and Ensemble)
or MU 246 A (Instrumental Ensemble). Entry into
MU 145 A assumes note reading and notation skills,
the ability to recognize intervals, triads and common
scale patterns by ear, as well as basic keyboard skills.
These skills may be demonstrated through a
placement test or successful completion of MU 101 A
(Music Fundamentals). Competency on an
instrument or in voice at an intermediate or higher
level is a requirement for completing the major.
Enrollment in MU 442A (Applied Music) from the
time a student enters the program is, therefore,
highly recommended.

The four required advanced courses are MU 341 A
(Renaissance and Baroque Music), MU 342 (Classic
Period Music), MU 443 (Romantic Music), and
MU 444 (Modem Music). Students with plans to
enter graduate school in any field related to music
should expect to enroll in additional electives.
Continued participation in either MU 245 A
(Choral Literature and Ensemble) or MU 246 A
(Instrumental Ensemble), as well as in MU 442 A
(Applied Music), is also strongly advised, and would
be expected by most graduate programs. A compre-
hensive examination will be administered following
a period of review in the Senior year to determine
competency in the academic and interpretive aspects
of music. Advanced students may be invited to
complete a thesis on an academic subject or in
composition in lieu of the comprehensive exam.
Highly skilled performers may be invited to present a
Senior recital as part of the Music at Eckerd series.

The minor in music consists of six courses as follows:
four foundational academic courses: MU 145 A
(Tonal Theory la), MU 146A (Tonal Theory lb),
MU 221 A (Introduction to Music Literature), and
either MU 3560 (World Music) or MU 326A
(American Music and Values); at least one advanced
academic course from the group MU 341 A, MU
342, MU 443 and MU 444; and a minimum of one
performance course MU 245 A (Choral Literature

and Ensemble), MU 246A (Instrumental Ensemble)
or MU 442A (Applied Music).

CAMPUS AND STUDENT LIFE

At Eckerd, learning and standards are not viewed
as restricted to the classroom. The college
cherishes the freedom that students experience in
the college community and in the choices they
make concerning their own personal growth. At
the same time, each student, as a member of a
Christian community of learners, is expected to
contribute to this community and to accept and
live by its values and standards: commitment to
truth and excellence; devotion to knowledge and
understanding; sensitivity to the rights and needs
of others; belief in the inherent worth of all
human beings and respect for human differences;
contempt for dishonesty, prejudice and destruc-
tiveness. Just as Eckerd intends that its students
shall be competent givers throughout their lives, it
expects that giving shall be the hallmark of
behavior and relationships in college life. Just as
Eckerd seeks to provide each student with
opportunities for learning and excellence, each
student is expected to play a significant part in the
vitality and integrity of the college community.

As an expression of willingness to abide by these
standards every student upon entering Eckerd
College is expected to sign a promise to uphold
the statement of Shared Commitment that guides
student life on campus. For a full description of the
Shared Commitment, see page 4-

THE CITY

the peninsula on which St. Petersburg is located,
Eckerd's campus is large and uncrowded — 267
acres with over 11/4 miles of waterfront on Boca
Ciega Bay and Frenchman's Creek. There are
three small lakes on the campus, and the chapel is
on an island in one of them. The 68
air-conditioned buildings were planned to provide
a comfortable environment for learning in the

forsake their classrooms and gather outdoors in the
sunshine or under a pine tree's shade. Outdoor
activities are possible all year; cooler days during
the winter are not usually severe.

student housing, consisting of seven complexes
with four houses of 34-36 students, 16 eight person

several policy making committees, representing
student views and issues. It also coordinates the
budgeting of dozens of student organizations and
activities, with funds accumulated from each
student's activities fee. The membership of ECOS
consists of all residential degree seeking students,
full and part time.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES

Eckerd believes that student life should be as full
and rich as possible, both within and beyond the
classroom. The Campus Activities Program, in
cooperation with Palmetto Productions and other
student organizations, offers a variety of cultural,
entertainment, social, recreational, and fitness
activities. The result is an active campus life that
complements the student's academic program by
providing opportunities for co-curricular learning,
socializing, entertainment, and physical fitness.

The Hough Center serves as the hub for recre-
ational and social activities. The facilities

number of events throughout the year. There are
student and faculty recitals, programs from the
concert choir and chamber ensemble, exhibitions
by student and faculty artists, dance performances,
and a series of plays produced by the theatre
workshops.

houses and individuals to compete in a variety of
programs. The intramural sports include volley-
ball, flag football, basketball and softball. The
recreation program includes aerobics, martial arts
and numerous club sports.

area, a snack bar and Ship's Store, multiple docks,
and a boat ramp. They also include an Activities
Center with classrooms fully equipped for multi-
media instruction, and restroom facilities with
showers. Additional resources available are a fleet of
sailboats, canoes, fishing boats, sea kayaks,
sailboards, and a ski boat for recreational water
skiing. Students who own boats can arrange to
store them on trailers or racks if space is available.

A unique feature of the Eckerd Waterfront is the
community member's ability to use the facilities
without membership in a club or organization.

There are, however, many cluhs and teams spon-
sored by the Waterfront for those interested. The
Triton sailing team, a varsity team, sails in sloop and
single-hand competitions as a member of S AISA
(the South Atlantic Intercollegiate Sailing
Association) and the ICYRA (Intercollegiate Yacht
Racing Association). However, the Triton Sailing
Association is a club which provides a recreational
venue for sailors of all levels, from beginning to
advanced, with activities such as daysailing trips,
overnight cruises, and recreational regattas.

One of the Waterfront's unique student organiza-
tions is Eckerd College Search and Rescue (EC-
SAR) which is a highly trained group of students
and alumni who provide maritime search and
rescue services to the Tampa Bay boating commu-
nity. Working closely with the U.S. Coast Guard
and many local and state agencies, members give a
high level of dedication, skill and commitment to
public service and have received many national
and local awards and commendations.

Waterfront classes are offered throughout the
school year. Sailing classes are taught at all levels
on both small sloops and larger sailboats. Normal
class offerings include beginning, intermediate and
advanced sailing and boardsailing. Informal
dockside instruction is offered during the after-
noons by Waterfront staff and volunteers.

The Waterfront Program offers many unique and
enjoyable opportunities to the Eckerd College
community. Participants can just relax on the docks
with a snack from the Ship's Galley Snack Bar, head
out into the bay aboard a sailboat or sea kayak, or
spend the afternoon fishing. Experienced
watersports enthusiasts can compete at a varsity level
and beginners can take a sailing or windsurfing class.
There is something for everyone! !

PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES

As a college student, you are likely to encounter
many new and different experiences and face
many difficult life decisions. There may be times
when you'd like some help negotiating these new
life challenges, and that's why we're here.

The Eckerd College Counseling Center offers an
atmosphere where personal concerns of any kind
can examined and discussed freely and confiden-
tially. Such an atmosphere increases the chances
that problems and conflicts will be resolved.

Through the therapeutic process, you may come to
see yourself and others in a different light, learn

how to change self-defeating habits and attitudes,
and be better able to make a positive contribution
to your own life as well as to the lives of others.

Counselors are interested in assisting students with
their personal, intellectual, and psychological growth
and development. The Counseling Center is staffed
by tu'o full-time and two part-time therapists, and all
services are free and completely confidential.

In addition to providing psychological counseling
for students, the Counseling Center staff offers
consultation services to faculty, staff, and students
who need specialized programs or information
regarding psychological issues such as conflict
resolution, crisis intervention, or wellness-related
issues. Topical presentations and workshops are
available by request on a variety of topics.

The Eckerd College Health Center, an active
member of the American College Health Associa-

Eckerd College.

The Health Center strives to integrate the
universal concepts of wellness, health promotion,
health protection, disease prevention, and state-
of-the-art primary care into the student's daily life.
The goal of the Health Center is to provide

and develop.

illnesses, but instead seek ways to enhance self-

tests, allergy injections, immunizations, medica-
tions, supplies, minor procedures, and physical
exams are discounted. Payment is due at the time
of ser\'ice and may be paid by cash, personal

109

check, or charged to the student's account. No
student will be refused care because of inability to
pay at the time of service.

In addition to providing health and wellness
services to students, the Health Center also
provides First Aid and emergency services to
faculty, staff, and special program students;
consultation and informational services on health
realed topics; and wellness programs such as
vaccine clinics and health fairs open to the entire

ADMISSION

Eckerd College seeks to admit students of various
backgrounds, ethnic and national origins who are
best prepared to gain from the educational
challenge they will encounter at the College while
also contributing to the overall quality' o( campus
life. Admissions decisions are made after a careful
review of each applicant's aptitudes and achieve-
ments. Available information about the
applicant's character will also be considered in the
decision. When you apply, we will look at your
academic performance in college preparatory
courses (mathematics, science, social studies,
English, foreign languages, creative arts). We will
also consider your performance on the college
entrance examinations (ACT or SAT I). Students
whose native language is not English can choose
to replace the ACT or SAT 1 with the TOEFL
examination. SAT II tests are not required but are
highly recommended. Your potential for personal
and academic development and positive contribu-
tion to the campus community is important and in
this respect we will look closely at your personal
essay, record of activities and recommendations
from your counselors or teachers. Admissions
decisions are made on a rolling basis beginning in
October and continuing through the academic
year for the following fall. Students considering
mid-year admission for either winter term
(January) or spring semester (February) are advised
to complete application procedures by December
1. Applicants for fall entry should complete
procedures by April 1 .

FRESHMAN ADMISSION

High school Juniors and Seniors considering
Eckerd College should have taken a college
preparatory curriculum. Our preference is for
students who have taken four units of English,
three or more units each of mathematics, sciences
and social studies, and at least two units of a
foreign language. Although no single criterion is
used as a determinant for acceptance and we have
no automatic "cutoff' points, the great majority of
students who gain admission to Eckerd College
have a high school average of B or better in their
college preparatory courses and have scored in the
top 25 percent of college-bound students taking
the ACT or SAT I.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES
FOR FRESHMEN

1 . Request application forms in Junior year or
early in Senior year from Dean of Admissions.

2. Complete and return your application to the
Dean of Admissions, with an application fee
of $25 (non-refundable) at least two months
prior to the desired entrance date. Students
who are financially unable to pay the $25
application fee will have the fee waived upon
request. Eckerd College accepts the Common
Application in lieu of its own form and gives
equal consideration to both.

3. Request the guidance department of the
secondary school from which you will be
graduated to send an academic transcript and
personal recommendation to: Dean of
Admissions, Eckerd College, 4200 - 54th
Avenue South, St. Petersburg, Florida 3371 1.

5. If you have been out of high school for less
than two years, we will need a copy of your

EVALUATION AND AWARDING
OF TRANSFER CREDIT

After you have been accepted for admission, your
transcript will be forwarded to the college
Registrar for credit evaluation.

With regard to the transfer of credits from other
regionally accredited institutions, it is the policy of
Eckerd College to:

1. Award block two-year credit to students who
have earned an Associate of Arts degree with
a cumulative grade point average of at least
2.0; or

sociate of Arts degrees, only those appropriate
courses in which grades of C or higher were
earned. Transfer credits will be awarded for
courses comparable to Eckerd College courses.

3. Accept a maximum of 63 semester hours of
transfer credit since the last two academic
years of study for an Eckerd College degree
must be completed at Eckerd.

4. Therefore, all transfer students to Eckerd
College will have cumulative grade point
averages of at least 2.0 in courses accepted
from other institutions toward an Eckerd
College degree.

5. Applicants who have earned credits more
than five years ago, or whose earlier academic
records are unavailable or unusual are
requested to direct special inquiry to the
Admissions office.

6. Use of transfer credit toward meeting the
requirements of a major is at the discretion of
the faculty.

PROCEDURES AFTER
ACCEPTANCE

All students who have been accepted for admis-
sion should return a Reservation Form within 30

tance deposit is applied toward tuition costs and
credited to the student's account.

A Student Infomiation Form, a Housing Form, and
a Health Form are sent to all accepted students.
The Student Information Form and Housing Form
should be returned by May 1. These forms enable
us to begin planning for needs of the entering class

personal physician and forwarded to the Admis-
sions office prior to the enrollment date.

EQUIVALENCY CERTIFICATES

Students who have not completed a high school
program hut who have taken the General Educa-
tion Development (GED) examinations may be
considered for admission. In addition to submit-
ting GED test scores, students will also need to
supply ACT or SAT I test results.

ADMISSIONS INTERVIEW

Students considering Eckerd College are strongly
urged to visit the campus and have an interview
with an admissions counselor. We also encourage
you to visit a class and meet students and faculty
members. An interview is not a required proce-
dure for admission but is always a most beneficial
step for you the student, as well as for those of us
who evaluate your candidacy.

and wish to return you should write or call the
Dean of Students oifice. It will not be necessary
for you to go through admission procedures again.

college or university you will need to submit an
official transcript of courses taken there.

To apply for readmission after dismissal, a student
should write to the Dean of Faculty as chair of the
Academic Review Committee.

FINANCIAL AID

All students accepted for admission to Eckerd
College who are U.S. citizens or permanent
residents are eligible to receive aid if they demon-
strate financial need. For institutional awards,
priority is given on the basis of grades, test scores,
recommendations, and special talents. Most
students receive an "aid package" consisting of
scholarship, grant, loan, and campus employment.
In many cases, the financial aid package offered to
a student may reduce out-of-pocket tuition
payment to less than would be paid at a state
college or university. Eckerd College makes every
effort to help a student develop financial plans
that will make attendance possible.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES
FOR FINANCIAL AID

Decisions regarding financial assistance are made
upon admission to the college as well as the
receipt of the necessary financial aid credentials
which can be accomplished by filing the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid. No supple-
mental form is required.

Any student who has resided in Florida for 12
consecutive months should complete and file an
application for a Florida Student Assistance
Grant. Application is made through the submis-
sion of the Free Application for Federal Student
Aid by answering the State questions.

Many of the sources of financial aid administered
by Eckerd College are controlled by governmental
agencies external to the college. Examples of
programs of this type are Federal Pell Grants,
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grants (SEOG), Florida Student Assistance
Grants (ESAG), Florida Resident Access Grant,
Florida Bright Futures Scholarships, Federal
Stafford Loans , Federal Perkins Loans, and the
Federal Work Study Program. To receive a current
pamphlet concerning these programs, write or

the following steps:

1 . Obtain a Financial Aid Transcript from the
Financial Aid oifice of each college you have
attended since leaving Eckerd College.

2. Ensure that your obligations for Federal Stafford
Loan or Federal Perkins Loan payments are

expire. Thereafter, you will have loan payments
due which must be paid before receiving
assistance again on readmission.

3. If you enroll at least half time and have prior
outstanding Federal Stafford, Perkins, SLS,
PLUS or Consolidation loans, you may be
eligible for deferment (postponement) of
payments.

4. Obtain deferment form(s) from your lender(s)
to submit to the Registrar at Eckerd College.
The Registrar will verify your enrollment
status to your lender(s). Deferment forms may

5. All prior debts to Eckerd College must be
satisfied before any financial aid assistance
may be released. Contact Student Accounts
to clear all prior obligations.

6. Contact the Dean of Students to apply for
readmission.

FINANCIAL AID STANDARDS
OF SATISFACTORY PROGRESS

Students receiving financial assistance must
maintain satisfactory academic progress to
continue receiving aid.

Normal progress toward graduation is the comple-
tion of four courses each semester and a short term
each year with grades of C or better.

The Eckerd College Academic Review Commit-
tee will assess your progress each semester. The
College has in place a graduated grade point
average minimum standard set by class standing.
For a detailed review of the Eckerd College
academic standards, please refer to the section in
this catalog entitled, "Standards of Satisfactory
Academic Progress," on page 23.

In addition, please note that if you are placed on
probation by the Academic Review Committee,
you will also be placed automatically on financial
aid probation. You may receive financial assistance
during your probationary period. If you are
dismissed by the Academic Review Committee,
your financial assistance must cease.

The grade of I (Incomplete) will not be assessed by
the Academic Review Committee. If the work for
the course is not completed by the deadline,
normally thirty days into the next regular semes-
ter, the Incomplete grade automatically becomes
an E

A course repetition will be treated as any other
course for financial aid purposes. A grade of F
earned for a prior course will not be removed from
the transcript.

3. Federal Programs -

Requirements for Renewal: h.

a. Federal regulations require that you complete
your Baccalaureate Degree within 1 50% of
your program length. Therefore, you will have
up to a maximum of 54 attempted courses to
complete your Baccalaureate Degree regard-
less of whether you received this aid during all
or part of your enrollment. Whether you
register full time, three-quarter time, or half

time, you must complete your degree with a !•

maximum of 54 attempted courses.

b. If you receive initial or renewal Federal Title
IV assistance, you must progress at yearly
increments toward your degree goal. By the
end of each academic year, you must com-
plete two-thirds of the courses (rounded up)
that you attempted for that academic year.

i.e. If you enroll in 9 courses during the year, j*

you must complete 6 of those courses.

c. In counting the total number of courses
completed during the year, you may count
summer courses completed at Eckerd College
during the prior summer, but may not count

the courses taken during the current summer
term(s).

The grades of F, W, 1, IP, and NR will not
count as completed courses. Non-credit
courses will not count. Course repetitions will
count as completed courses for financial aid
purposes.

If you fail to earn the appropriate number of
courses at the end of the academic year, you
will be placed on financial aid probation for
your next academic year. You may receive
Federal Title IV assistance during the year of
financial aid probation.

If you earn the appropriate number of courses
during the next academic year, you will have
your financial aid probationary status
removed. While on probation, you are
encouraged to use the counseling services
provided by Student Affairs, request assis-
tance from your mentor, and seek tutoring
opportunities.

If you fail to earn the appropriate number of
courses at the end of your financial aid
probationary year, you will lose all Federal
Financial Aid. You may not receive Title IV
assistance thereafter until your status has been
reinstated and the appropriate number of
courses are completed.

You may return for one semester at Eckerd
College (without receiving Federal Title IV
funds) and complete two-thirds of your
attempted courses that semester to have your
Federal Financial Aid re-instated. If you do
not return for a period of two years, you will
be eligible to return in good standing with
Title IV eligibility, if you meet all other
requirements.

The transfer student receiving Federal
assistance will have the same schedule for the
maximum degree time frame and yearly
incremental progression as noted above. The
maximum total attempted courses assessed for
the transfer student will consist of the transfer
courses accepted at Eckerd College and the
attempted courses taken at Eckerd College.

If you wish to enroll in additional courses to
enhance your career goal, or if you are
dismissed and readmitted, a reasonable
extension of courses will be considered
through the appeal process.

ECKERD COLLEGE
SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS

\XTien Eckerd College started the Program for
Experienced Learners, it set PEL tuition rates
considerably lower than those for the Residential
Program. Given this tuition discount, Eckerd
College scholarships that are available for students
in the Residential Program may not be used in the
Program for Experienced Learners.

Eckerd College offers a wide variety of merit
scholarships to students in the residential program.
Students are encouraged to apply for several
different awards. However, if a student were to
qualify for more than one scholarship, s/he would
be awarded the ONE with the largest monetary
value. Several Eckerd College scholarships cannot
be stacked on top of each other.

FRANK BYARS SCHOLARSHIP FOR
FLORIDA RESIDENTS

All full-time new students entering Eckerd
College as Florida Residents (eligible for the
Florida Residence Access Grant) will be guaran-
teed $5,000 Frank Byars Scholarships. If the

loans to supplement their financing plans.

FEDERAL STAFFORD LOANS
(formerly Guaranteed Student Loans)

Federal Stafford Loan applications are available
from banks and lending agencies, and from the
Eckerd College Financial Aid office. Depending
upon eligibility, Freshmen may borrow up to $2,625
per year; Sophomores may borrow up to $3,500 per
year; and Juniors and Seniors may borrow up to
$5,500 per year not to exceed $23,000 in their
undergraduate work for educational expenses.
Students must submit a Free Application for
Federal Student Aid to establish eligibility. The
interest rate is variable yearly not to exceed 8.25
percent, and new borrowers have a six months
grace period following termination of at least
half-time school attendance before repayment must
begin. EXiring the time the student is in school and
during the grace period, the federal government will
pay the interest on behalf of the student to the
lender. Withdrawal from college for one semester
will cause the six months grace period to lapse and
repayments to fall due. Repayment following the
tennination of the grace period will be at least $50
per month. Deferment from payment is allowed for
the return to school at least halftime enrollment, or
for other specified conditions. Families interested in
the program should contact the Financial Aid office

processing of Stafford Loan applications requires
twelve to sixteen weeks.

UNSUBSIDIZED FEDERAL
STAFFORD LOAN

Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans may be
available to students who do not qualify for
need-based Stafford Loans. Unsubsidized Federal
Stafford Loans carry the same yearly loan limits,
interest rate, aggregate limit, and deferment
provisions for new borrowers as do the Federal
Stafford Loans (see above). Independent students
may borrow a larger sum it otherwise eligible.
However, with the Unsubsidized Federal Stafford,
interest will accrue following the loan disburse-
ments, and the student is responsible for the
interest to the lending institution while the student
is in school and during the grace period. During
these periods, the interest may either be paid
regularly or may be capitalized (added to the
principal) to be paid later with the principal
payments. The principal payments may be deferred
(postponed) while the student is in school and
during the grace period. Students might qualify for a

126

partial Federal Stafford Loan on the basis of
demonstrated need and receive the remainder up to
the yearly limit (see above) in an Unsubsidized
Federal Staftord. Students interested in the program
should contact the Financial Aid oftice. The
processing of Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan
applications requires twelve to sixteen weeks.

the repa^Tnent period, nine months, following
termination of at least half-time school attendance.
Interest charges during the repayment period are
only five percent per year on the unpaid balance.

Under this program parents may borrow for
educational purposes up to the cost of education

policies and procedures.

CANCELLATION AND
WITHDRAWAL POLICY FOR
ALL STUDENTS

All charges for a term will be canceled, except the
$100 non-refundable reservation deposit after
May 1 , and payments will be refunded if a written
cancellation request is received prior to the first
day of classes for that term.

For those students withdrawing after the start of
classes, credit for tuition, room and board will be
pro-rated through 60% of the semester. For
detailed information on charges associated with
withdrawing, refer to the Financial Aid Guide or
call the Business office.

It is important to note that students with
financial aid who withdraw during a semester
will typically owe a balance to the College
because of the loss of aid and because only a
certain percentage of charges are cancelled.

Eckerd College Grants or Scholarships will be pro-
rated based on days completed through 60% of the
payment period.

Florida Aid will be granted only if the withdrawal
occurs after the end of the drop/add period for fall
and spring semesters.

Whether or not Federal Aid is granted is depen-
dent on a specific Federal formula, which is

131

applied to students at Eckerd College through
60% of the payment period. The earned aid for
tuition, fees, room and hoard will be proportioned
through 60% oi the payment period. By the
Federal formula, it is determined whether any
refund must be returned by the institution, and by
the student, to Federal Aid accounts. The
application of refunding occurs in the following
order:

♦ Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan

♦ Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan

♦ Federal Perkins Loan

♦ Federal PLUS

♦ Federal Pell Grant

♦ Federal Supplemental Educational

Opportunity Grant

♦ Other Federal Title IV assistance

If the student has unpaid charges to Eckerd
College, any remaining portion of refund that was
to be returned to the student will first be applied
to the unpaid balance.

Additional infomiation and sample calculations
are available in the Financial Aid office.

STUDENT/PARENT APPEAL
PROCESS OF WITHDRAWAL
POLICIES

Any student or parent may appeal any decision
made concerning a refund oi Title IV Federal
assistance in relation to the withdrawal policies
described above. The appeal may be addressed to
the Director of Financial Aid at the Financial Aid
office, Eckerd College.

TRANSCRIPTS FOR STUDENTS
WHO DEFAULT ON LOANS OR
OWE A STUDENT
ACCOUNT BALANCE

Only from a campus visit can you judge if the school and your expectations "fit."

Plan to take a campus tour, sit in on a class, visit with our professors and students,
and take time to see the area.

Also, try to visit when classes are in session. Check the academic calendar before
planning your visit. We ask only one thing of you: give us some advance notice of
your arrival. Call us or drop us a line-the Admissions staff will be happy to work
with you.

The Admissions office is open from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm on weekdays, from 9:00
am to noon on Saturday; summer hours are weekdays 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.
