11IE UNIVERSI1Y OF RICHMOND
Commitment
The University of Richmond's educational program is committed to providing a nurturing environment rich in opportunities for personal engagement. Our fundamental aim is to offer our students a distinctive experience of engagement that fosters in them a love of learning, an appreciation of intellectual and cultural life, and an involvement with the community. The opportunity for learning through engagement is brought about by the unique interaction among the quality of our student experience , the wise use of our resources, and the dedication of our faculty to excellence in teaching and scholarship. We are committed to the development of students who understand the nature of intellectual inquiry.
The goal of the university's academic programs is not simply to impart knowledge. Instead, we seek to instill in our students attitudes, values, habits of mind, and an appreciation of intellectual and cultural experience which will cause them to be thoughtful and critically reflective throughout their lives. We also seek to provide strong foundations in analytic and problem-solving skills and in ethical and social responsibility upon which graduates build during the course of their lives. To this end, we seek to provide a context that promotes both the development of intellectual curiosity and a strong commitment to the value of learning for its own sake. The love of learning, the desire to pursue ideas, and the recognition of the need to think in a complex manner about intellectual questions should become so ingrained in our students that these characteristics become life-long attributes which influence how our graduates live and think.
Identity
\ graduate university with a law school and several master's degree programs. As one of the 50 or so most selective colleges in the country, we offer comprehensive academic programs for men and women in the areas of liberal arts and sciences, business, leadership studies, and law. The University combines the structure of a university with the intimacy of a college, offering students the best of many worlds. Related to the Baptist General Association of Virginia and dedicated to the development of the whole person, Richmond is committed to serve individuals of all faiths and persuasions, without regard to race, sex, age, physical handicap, or national origin.
Richmond is a place of possibility. The University 's small size leads to rich opportunities for students to draw heavily on all of the University's resources in faculty, staff, facilities and equipment. Supported by exceptional commitment from alumni, faculty, administration, and staff, both financial and service, students benefit from a strong commitment to constant improvement. At a time when many institutions of higher education are facing serious budgetary problems, Richmond's exceptional financial strength continues to allow it to grow and mature, strengthened always by a continuing commitment to excellence.
Educational Objectives
To cultivate in students the interest, capacity, and skills necessary for independent intellectual inquiry and lifelong learning
To convey to students a representative portion of that body of knowledge that has accumulated and endured through the history of cultures
The University of Richmond is a small, independent, privately-endowed, under-
To encourage and aid students in the development of basic beliefs, values, and attitudes
The University of Richmond
To assist students in selecting and preparing for careers and for study in graduate and professional schools
To foster in students personal habits that contribute to health and physical fitness
In order to achiev e these objectives, the University is committed to:
- An educational environment conducive to the development of the whole person intellectually, socially, spiritually, physically, and morally
An academic setting that guarantees and encourages freedom of thought, expression , and association
An undergraduate curriculum that requires mastery of essential intellectual tools, understanding of basic aspects of human culture , extensive knowledge of at least one area of study, and physical exercise
A faculty dedicated primarily to excellent teaching and dialogue with students, while remaining actively engaged in scholarly , scientific, and artistic creativity
A diverse , largely full-time and residential student body that participates in a broad range of University activities
The essential resources for learning, such as libraries , laboratories, studios , computers , and audiovisual facilities and materials
Opportunities for social commitment and public service, internships , travel and study abroad, and other appropriate learning experiences outside the campus
A program of varied social, spiritual , and physical activities that provide occasions for growth, fun, and fellowship
An administration that preserves and enhances the University 's environment and resources , and that represents the institution to the broader community it serves.
Organization and Accreditatio n
Five academic schools and two res ide ntial colleges are incorporated to form the University of Richmond with authority an d responsibility vested legally in the Board of Trustees and the President of the University . The several co lleges and schools award n o degrees individually , but all degrees for work done in any one of them are conferre d by the University of Richmond
The University enrolls about 2,900 fulltime undergraduates, 93% of whom live o n campus; some 500 full-time law and graduate students; and 1,300 part-time student s, large ly from Richmond and the surroundin g community.
The University of Richmond is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools , and the Virginia State Board of Education. Various departmen ts and divisions have more specialized accreditation. Included in this category are th e music program, accredited by the Nation al Association of Schoo ls of Music, and the chemistry program, accredited by the American Chemical Society. In addition, The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business is accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and The T. C. Williams School of Law is accredited by the American Bar Association.
Environment an d His to ry
The campus consists of some fifty majo r buildings , of impressive Collegiate Gothi c architectural style, set amid three hundre d fifty acres of lawns , lake, and woodland s. Richmond is in a setting of beauty an d harmony suggesting an able future as a seminary , later becoming a continuation o f the deep roots of its past. Indeed, Richmond 's history began almost two centuries ago with Richmond College, founded in 1830 b y Virginia Baptists as a co llege of liberal arts and sciences for men. Around this nucleu s
were established The T.C. Williams School of Law 0870); Westhampton College , a college of liberal arts and sciences for women 0914); the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, for advanced study in the liberal arts and sciences 0921); The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business, for undergraduate and graduate study in business 0949); University College, for evening, summer, and continuing education 0962); and the Jepson School of Leadership Studies , the first school of leadership studies in the United States 0989). In 1990, the academic missions of Richmond College and Westhampton College were combined in a separate school , the School of Arts and Sciences . Richmond College and Westhampton College are the residential colleges for men and women respectively, providing special programming and leadership opportunities in student life.
Richmond benefits from a heritage of ethical and religious values , a residential character , and a commitment to liberal and general education through intimate schools and colleges joined into a substantial whole.

The Undergraduate Colleges
Though Richmond is composed of five general academic schools, as well as two residential colleges, this bulletin provides specific program information about only
The University of Richmond
the School of Arts and Sciences, undergraduate study in The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business, and the Jepson School of Leadership Studies. Pertinent information about the residential colleges, Richmond College and Westhampton College, is also presented below and on selected pages following. Detailed information about each of the other academic schools is available upon request to the respective dean 's office .
The Academic Schools
School of Arts and Sciences
The School of Arts and Sciences enrolls about 2,500 men and women and offers the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Science degrees in a wide range of subjects in the liberal arts and sciences. The Bachelor of Music degree is offered for those who wish to pursue intensive study in music. The Arts and Sciences faculty also provides instruction in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences leading to master's degrees in nine areas.
Students beginning their college careers are admitted to the School of Arts and Sciences. Those interested in earning degrees in business or accounting, or leadership studies are required to be prepared in the liberal arts and sciences and be admitted for their junior and senior years to one of the schools described below. Others will continue in the School of Arts and Sciences to complete the studies they have chosen.
The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business
The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business enrolls about 350 men and women. The school 's principal objective is to provide a professional college education that will enable qualified students to meet the challenges of a complex and international business world.

' The University of Richmond
majors in accounting or business administration. The business administration major has several areas of emphasis which stu1 dents may pursue. Once admitted, this I school also has its own student government : and internal activities in which students can 1 participate.
i The School of Business faculty also provides instruction in the Master of Business 1 Administration degree program of The · Richard S. Reynolds Graduate School of The ; E. Claiborne Robins School of Business
I Jepson School of Leadership Studies
1 The Jepson School ofLeadership Studies enrolls about 80 men and women and offers the Bachelor of Arts degree with an interdisciplinary major in leadership studies. The : degree is broadly based, but highly integrated in a variety of ways with leadership · as a unifying theme. The Jepson School seeks to challenge students to develop their potential and to provide an exceptional academic setting for those students to prepare to meet the challenges of life and to develop their leadership abilities.
IThe Residential Colleges
The University seeks to provide education on a human scale through its three academic schools and its two residential colleges for undergraduates. It emphasizes the benefits of active involvement and participation in smaller communities as a way to draw the most from life in the University. Through such involvement and participation, a greater sense of satisfaction and community can be experienced as students celebrate traditions and make their own impact. Each student admitted I to one of the three academic schools simu ltan eously becomes a member of a residential college irrespective of whether the student lives in a residence hall or not.
The organization of residential co lleges by gender clearly affords a basis for sharin g common experiences and life issue,s. Richmond College, the residential co lleg e fo r men , and Westhampton College, the residential college for women, offer thei r students unique opportunities to hav e meaningful bonding experiences in thei r communities and organizations of the sam e gender. Such opportunities enhance th e identity formation and personal development of the participants to a greater exten t than only the more typical coeducationa l curricular and cocurricu lar experience.
Each residential co llege has its own dean and staff, student government, activities and traditions, and the colleges wor k together where there are mutual concerns The colleges seek ways to relate to th e student as a person and not simply as a mind, a body , or a set of emotions or interests. They develop for their student s linkages between and among residenti al life , academic life, student government , and socia l life, int egrating the facets of students ' lives. The college deans exercise academic responsibilities on behalf of th e academic schoo ls and are able to brin g University resources from a variety of domains to bear on the life of individu al students.
The gender-based residential college s combine the benefits of a coeducational academic experience with the advantage s of a single-gender experience. The greate r number and variety of cocurricular activities provide more opportunities for student involvement. In particular , the University offers through its human-scaled structure many more student governance positions than usual and guarantees leadership roles for both men and women . Such positions allow students the chance to affect their quality of life and to help shape their University.
ADMISSION
The University of Richmond seeks to enroll men and women who have demonstrated the potential to succeed in their chosen course of study and have shown evidence of their capability to contribute to the University community. Admission to the University is competitive and selective.
Criteria for admission are both objective and subjective. Such qualities as academic ability and achievement combined with personal qualities of leadership, creativity, and independence are sought. For students entering as first-year students, the secondary school experience, the results of standardized tests, and the particular characteristics of each applicant will be considered .
The largest number of successful applicants have taken a challenging college preparatory program and rank in the top fifth of their secondary school class. There are no minimums or cut-off scores for any factor included in the admission decision. Successful applicants represent a wide variety of backgrounds. The prospective student is advised, therefore, to complete the most challenging college preparatory program which can be taken at the secondary school which he or she attends.
For students who have attended other institutions of higher learning and wish to transfer to the University of Richmond, the academic achievement and courses completed at the prior institution will be important to the admission decision. In short, whether first-year or transfer, those students with the potential to be the most successful in this educational environment will be offered admission.
Admission to any school of the University of Richmond is based on qualifications and space availability, and is without regard to race, color, age, religion, national origin, or handicap.
Virginia law mandates that each student submit an immunization record prior to enrollment. In compliance with this requirement, the immunization record is included in the health history form provided to entering students and is to be returned to the Student Health Center. Admission information for specific academic schools is presented in the following pages. Students interested in admission to the School of Arts and Sciences should continue reading below.

STUDENT LIFE
The University of Richmond, through th e Division of Student Affairs , provides a v ariety of cocurricular and extracurricular p rograms and student-support services. These are designed to enrich the quality of th e collegiate experience by creating an e nvironment in which the student can g row intellectually, emotionally, physically , socially , and spiritually. The ultimate purpose of this environment is to maximize each student's potential for personal growth and development.
The deans' offices for Richmond Colle ge and Westhampton College , the University 's residential colleges, are focal points in student life matters. For the University, the offices are centers for closely knit smaller communities within the whole . The deans and staff provide or are a channel for many college or University se rvices and programs.
On a more personal level, a student may find the dean or staff member acting a s a counselor, advisor, mentor, or collaborator. The deans ' offices are helping places. For example, the subjects prese nted below are intended to acquaint the reader with the particular program, service , or policy being described. If questions remain after reading a section, a de a n 's office can usually provide a more complete explanation or indicate where more information may be found. In all cases, the deans ' offices are contact points to provide assistance . Each student is e ncouraged to make full use of this excellent resource .
Services
Academic Advising
Every new student is assigned an academic advisor who is either a faculty member or a staff person who is particu-
lady well-versed in academic matters The advisor serves as a resource for the student in the development of the student's academic program and in other academic matters. The student is expected to meet with his or her academic advisor regularly to discuss progress, plan programs, and review achievement. By the end of the sophomore year, in conjunction with the selection of a major, a different advisor will be assigned by the departmental chair or coordinator who is responsible for the student 's chosen major subject area.

Financial Affairs/Payments
Payments
Inquiries concerning payments should be directed to the University Payments office, phone (804)289-8147.
Fees are billed, and are payable in advance by the semester -the fall semester payment is due by the first Monday in August and the spring semester payment is due by the first Monday in December. To avoid incurring a late-payment fee and delays in housing, registration, and other areas, individuals are urged to pay fees when due.
Satisfactory
financial arrangements for Room and Board must be made before occupancy.
No credit is given for a term's work nor a degree conferred until all charges have been satisfactorily settled . Failure to make satisfactory financial arrangements can result in delay of graduation, denial of registration privileges, removal from classes, and/or the withholding of transcripts
Remittance may be made by check drawn to University of Richmond, and addressed to:
Office of Student Accounts
BoxR
University of Richmond, Virginia 23173
Deposits
Upon acceptance for admission at the University of Richmond, a $300 General Fee deposit is required, and a $300 housing deposit is required if on-campus housing is requested.
Students planning to continue in the upcoming school year are notified around February 1 to remit the appropriate deposits: a General Fee deposit of $125, and if on-campus housing is requested, a housing deposit of $125. These deposits are payable by the mid-March date specified in the notice.
Deposits are treated as advance payments which normally are credited to the student's account in the appropriate category. While a single rem ittance may cover both amounts, the distinction between the two deposits remains quite clear. The General Fee deposit signifies an intention to attend or to continue to attend the University. The housing deposit signifies an earnest request for on-campus housing.
The University always credits the Genera l Fee deposit first. If only a sing le deposi t amount is received by the stated dead line, regardless of any accompanying in structions, the deposit will be placed in the General Fee category and the presumption made that no housing is requested.
Deferred Payments
In recognition of the substantial interest in deferred payments, the University has arranged to make available the services of Knight College Resource Group, Tuition Management Systems, and Academic Management Services. These three firms represent one of several sound alternatives for financing a student's education. Information is mailed to students from these companies in April.
Many parents and students may prefer to arrange financing through their local banks or other sources; but if there is interest in Knight College Resource Group , Tuition Management Systems, or Academic Management Services, further information is available upon request from the University's Office of Student Accounts.
Students are urged to complete whatever arrangements they choose early, so that their accounts with the University may be settled in a timely manner.

Financial Aid
11
The financial aid program at the Univer1: sityof Richmond provides need-based grants, 1 loans and work opportunities, and also • awards merit scholarships. The need-based
·• aid programs are designed for those famil· lies who are unable to pay the full cost of a
• 1 college education. The merit scholarships · are provided in recognition and support of · noteworthy academic achievement. These · merit scholarships are independent of any · assessment of need, although it is possible 1 to qualify for a combination of need- and · merit-based aid.
Applicants for need-based financial aid must complete both the Free Application for , Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the University of Richmond 's Financial Aid Supple-
! • mental Application. Prospective students (including transfers) should mail the com. pleted FAFSAby mid-February to ensure its · receipt no later than the deadline date of February 25. Once aid is offered it is ; generally renewed in subsequent years if the family's financial situation stays the ' same. A new FAFSAmust be filed each year and the student must meet certain standards · of satisfactory academic progress.
Students who are eligible for need. based aid are offered a package of funding : that typically consists of a mix of grants, : loans and work. While the total amount of I aid offered is based upon an assessment of financial need, the type and mix of aid is ; influenced by the student 's ability. Thus students with superior academic records , and potential will have a greater propor-
tion of grant than loan in their aid packag e than will those students with records n ot as strong.
There are a number of merit scholarshi p programs, some of which pay full tuition , room and board . Students are usually eith er nominated for these scholarships or are selected from the pool of applicants for admission. Separate merit scholarship applications are usually not required.
The Virginia Tuition Assistance Grant is awarded to those students who are res idents of Virginia. In 1993-94 it was wort h $1,500. Applications are sent from the Admissions office to students who are accepted to the University.
For further information about the variou s financial aid programs, see the bookl et "Financing an Education at the University of Richmond," available from either the Financial Aid office or the Admissions office. Or call the Financial Aid office (804-289-843 8) with questions about need-based aid, or call the Admissions office (804-289-8640) wit h questions about merit scholarships.

Detailed information on curr ent IB policies is available from the Office of the University Registrar.
Transfer Credit
Credit in transfer may be accepted o nly for courses which are comparable to cour ses offered at the University of Richmond. Moreover, the coursework must have been tak en at an accredited institution or institutio ns, and a grade or equivalent of C- (1.7) or better must have been earned. Coursew ork accepted in transfer shall be applied to specific degree requirements subject to the discretion of the academic department co ncerned. Hours awarded are added into hours required for graduation, but grades are not calculated in the grade point average.
No transfer credit shall be formally accepted or recorded until the University h as received an official transcript directly from the records office of the institution whi ch offered the coursework. If coursework is being transferred from more than one institution, an official transcript must be received from each institution.
Note: For applicability of transfer work to
general education requirements, see General Education Requirements on pages 54-56.
Advanced Credit for Veterans
In accordance with the recommendations of the American Council on Education, th e following advanced credit will be allowed veterans:
1. A veteran who has served between six months and one year on active duty shall receive credit for the physical activity component (HSS2) of the Health and Physical Activity General Education Requirement and 2 semester hours in Military Science.
2. A veteran who has served more than one year on active duty shall receive credit for the physical activity component (HSS2) of the Health and Physical Activity General Education Requirement and 4 semester hours in Military Science.
3 A veteran may receive additional credit for specialized training courses and for correspondence courses taken from accredited colleges under the auspices of the U.S. Armed Forces Institute. A veteran desiring such credit should present the record of training to the University Registrar either on the transcript form of the college in which the work was taken, or on the form prepared for such purposes by the U.S. Armed Forces Institute. In cases of question, the appropriate Academic Council will determine the amount of credit to be granted.
4 . In allowing further advanced credit for educational experience in the armed services, the University is guided largely by recommendations of the American Council on Education.
Registration Policies
Registration is limited to degree-seeking , admitted students unless specific approval
is granted for unclassified status.
Registration
Students shall register by following the policies stated in the Schedule of Classes, which is published each semester by the University Registrar.
Note: A student is not fully registered for any term until satisfactory arrangements have been made for that term's fees.
Late registrations may be accepted subject to the policies for adding classes, as indicated in the section below entitled Change of Registration. A special fee is required.
Prerequisites
Before beginning a course, a student is expected to have fulfilled the stated course prerequisites, if any A student who does not have the prerequisites may be denied registration or disenrolled from the course.
Limits of Work
A student normally enrolls for 15 or 16 semester hours of work a week. The minimum load for a full-time student is 12 semester hours.
No student may enroll for more than 19 hours nor fewer than 12 hours of work without the permission of the dean of his or her school. (Arts and Sciences -see Residential Dean; business and leadership -see Academic Dean.) Enrollments in either category are subject to special charges as specified in the chapter entitled Financial Affairs. Students enrolled for fewer than 12 hours are classified as part-time and are not entitled to athletic ticket books or student publications.
Change of Registration
After the end of the first 10 days of classes , but before the end of the seventh week, students may withdraw from courses provided that they receive the permission of
I,
Academic Procedures/Registration Policies
the appropriate course instructor, academic advisor, and dean. Students will be required to pay the fee for change in class and will receive an M if failing at the time of withdrawal , or a W if passing at the time of withdrawal. Ordinarily, a student may not withdraw from a course with a passing grade after the end of the seventh week of classes except for medical reasons. The student 's dean may, under special circumstances, make an exception to this policy.
1: Auditing Courses
1
With the approval of the student's academic advisor , dean, and the instructor of the course , a student may register for a course on an audit basis. The regular rate of tuition is charged , and the audit course is counted as a part of the student 's semester load. A permission form must be obtained from and returned with appropriate signatures to the Office of the University Registrar by the end of the tenth day of classes. Once the form is submitted to the UniversityRegistrar, the decision may not be reversed. An audited course cannot subsequently be taken for credit unless approved by the appropriate dean.
Pass/Fail Option
School of Arts and Sciences Only
(Not available to undergraduate Business and Leadership Studies students.)
An Arts and Sciences student who has completed at least 60 semester hours of academic work may opt for one course per semester to be graded on a Pass/Fail basis. The course may not be used to satisfy any degree requirement other than total hours of credit and, if taken in the major or minor, may not be used to satisfy requirements for either . No School of Leadership Studies or School of Business courses may be taken for Pass / Fail grading except those in the Department of Economics. No more than four student-opted Pass / Fail courses are acceptable for degree credit.
Note: The restrictions stated above do not apply to courses authorized to be grad ed only as Pass / Fail.
The level of performance necessary to earn a Pass in a student-opted Pass /Fa il course is or better. A Pass grade will be recorded as Pon the permanent record. The hours will be added into hours earn ed toward graduation and will not affect the grade point average. A Fail grade will be recorded as Fon the permanent record . The hours will be added into GPA hours and w ill affect the grade point average.
To opt for Pass / Fail grading, a per mission form must be obtained from and returned with appropriate signatures to the Office of the University Registrar by the end of the tenth day of classes. Once the form is submitted to the University Registrar , the decision may not be reversed.
Repeated Courses
Coursework may not be repeated for credit toward graduation except as sanctioned by the University; however, parti cular coursework may meet more than o ne requirement for graduation An exampl e of a sanctioned repeat-for-credit is the sub sequent registration for a course in which the content changes from term to term such as Special Topics or Independent Studies. Also, certain courses in a major or program may have to be repeated if the grade earned the first time does not meet requirements; ho wever, the credit hours will be counted o nly once.
Courses taken on an audit basis cann ot be repeated for credit unless approved by the appropriate dean .
Except in clear situations, the Office of the University Registrar should be consult ed before registration to learn if a propos ed repeat is sanctioned for credit or if sancti on is possible.
All courses taken at the University of Richmond become a part of the permane nt
academic record. The grade for a course repeated at the University of Richmond becomes a part of the grade point average if the grade otherwise would be included in the computation.
Course Administration
Class Attendance
Each student is expected to attend all meetings of all classes, laboratory periods, an d drill sessions of the courses in which he or she is enrolled. However, the specific atte ndance policy in each course of study is to be determined by the instructor of the co urse. The specific attendance policy for each course will be announced and distributed to the students at the beginning of the course. Faculty members should honor an official request from the appropriate dean to excuse a student for participation in a University-sponsored event, such as choral performances off campus, intercollegiate athletic events, judicial hearings at which the student must be present, etc.
A student may be held responsible for the work of a class or laboratory missed during an absence. Acceptance of any excuse for an absence, and any provision for make-up, will be at the discretion of the instructor (consistent with the announced policy for the course). Missed classes, work, or tests may result in a poorer grade, or failure, in the course. Students enrolled in School of Business courses must attend at least 75 percent of the meetings of a course to be eligible to receive credit in the course.
Exatninations
Most classes have examinations at the close of each term, according to a published schedule.
Each student is responsible for taking final examinations as scheduled. No rescheduling, excuse for absence, and/or provis ion for making up final examinations
will occur without the written approval of the student's dean. Such approval shall be made only for illness certified by a physician, participation in authorized University activities, and/ or personal emergencies such as death in the family.
Appeals of the rulings associated with the administration of these regulations shall be directed to the student's dean and, if necessary, through that dean to the academic council of the faculty concerned.
Evaluation
Instructors establish grading criteria for their courses, and prepare and submit the final course reports (using the grades defined under Grading Policies) to the University Registrar for recording. In the event of a question about the accuracy of the recorded grade , a student should direct inquiries to the instructor and/or the Office of the University Registrar.
It is recognized that each class and each student in a class has unique characteristics that the instructor alone is in the best position to evaluate; consequently, except in unusual circumstances, formal appeals to others concerning the evaluation on which a grade is based are not appropriate.
Academic Procedures / Course Administration
If unusual circumstances appear to have existed which could have affected the evaluation, the student should first bring the ;: matter to the attention of the instructor (if 1 available). If that informal inquiry is impos1, sible, or if its results are disputed, the student may next bring the matter to the , 1 attention of the department chair and the 11 instructor, jointly. In the event of continued : 1 dispute, the student may formally petition ,I the dean of the student 's school who, in 11 consultation with department faculty, may 1 : present the matter to the academic council for a decision.
I'
I' Grading Policies
The level of students ' performance in classwork and examinations is indicated by letters. A (excellent) , B (good), C(average) , and D (poor) indicate that the work has 1 been passed. The foregoing grades may be accompanied by a plus ( +) or minus (-) to indicate a relative position within the grade category. Pshaws credit has been earned in a Pass/Fail course, and Z shows that a course was audited Sand U indicate satisfactory or unsatisfactory performance in I non-academic courses or in a Pass/ No. credit course . W indicates that the student withdrew from a course with a passing average. Marks indicating failure and included as such in the grade point average are F, M (withdrew from a course with a 1 failing average), and V(failure because of ; excessive absences). The X indicates that the grade has not been received from the instructor.
I and Y mean that coursework has not been completed by the end of the term. The I, which provisionally counts as a failing grade, is given when the reasons for incom1• plete work are deemed unjustifiable by the instructor. The work is to be made up by the date the instructor specifies, but no later than 45 calendar days from the last class day of the term in which the I was given. If the work is not made up during the grace
period, the I will be converted to F The Y, which does not count as a failing grade, is given when the reasons for incomplet e work are deemed justifiable by the instru ctor, or at the end of the first term of a cour se that continues into a succeeding term. Ther e is no deadline for completion of the wor k unless the instructor so specifies. In all cases , it is the student 's responsibility to make arrangements for and progress to the completion of an incomplete course
Credit and Grade Point Average
The Univers ity of Richmond uses th e semester hour value. A semester hour is the value of one SO-minute class-hour of work a week through a nominal 14-we ek semester.
The grade point average is based on two factors:
GPAHours- The accumulation of academi c semester hours that have grades to whi ch grade point values are assigned; and
Grade Points - Given for each semest er hour 's grade according to this scale:
Calculation - The grade point average is calcu lated by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of GPA hours.
The accumulations and average are shown each term on the permanent academic record and on the student gra de report. Also show n on these reports is the accumulation of Earned Semester Hou rs. Earned hours are the academic semest er hours in which the student has earn ed passing grades, plus semester hours cred it, if any, for accepted transfer work.
Academic Reports
Reports of the student's progress are prepared each term in the form of the permanent academic record and the student grade report. The information included is the record of the student's registration and grades, with such other information as may be deemed important. All courses taken at the University of Richmond become a part of the permanent academic record.
Work Taken Elsewhere
This section pertains to students who wish to take academic work elsewhere while actively pursuing a degree at the Univers ity of Richmond. (Individuals admitted as transfer students, please see the Advanced Standing section above.)
Study in the United States
The student is to obtain the approval of each department chair concerned and the appropriate dean before taking work elsewhere. The approvals ensure that the work is acceptable to the University, its departmental standards, and the student's curriculum. The Office of the University Registrar provides the special form for the purpose, and also will answer questions about the procedure.
School of Arts and Sciences and School of Leadership Studies
While students are expected to get approval before taking work elsewhere, work taken without prior approval may be acce pted subject to transfer credit policies.
School of Business
Credit will be allowed provided that the approvals specified above are obtained in writing prior to taking the course or courses; the work is in the core and/or business elective categories; and the institution offering the work is accredited by the Ameri-
can Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB)
Study Abroad
Students wishing to study abroad are expected to contact the Office of International Education for information about various opportunities and to get particular information about procedures which must be followed. The procedures ensure that the work abroad will be acceptab le in the University of Richmond curriculum, and that the student will be maintained as current with the University while abroad. Further information about study abroad is presented in the next chapter, International Education.
Acceptance of Credit
Study Abroad/Richmond-Sponsored Programs
Only programs with a University of Richmond director or faculty, AND which are administered by the University, are included in this category.
For academic record, degree progress, and grade point average purposes, coursework taken in these programs is treated as if the work were done on campus. Currently there are eleven such University Study Abroad programs held in: Australia, Austria, Costa Rica, the European Community, France, Greece, Japan , Spain, Russia, Venezuela, and Zimbabwe All of the above are summer programs administered through the University of Richmond Summer School office
Other Programs
Credit will be awarded for pre-approved coursework in which a grade, or equivalent, of C(2.0) or better has been earned. Credit for C- (1.7) coursework is subject to approval by the University Registrar and /o r the academic department concerned. No credit will be awarded for work taken elsewhere until an acceptably complete
official transcript is received by the University Registrar directly from the institution providing the instruction or the approved ;: agency coordinating the instruction. Such credit is recorded as academic hours passed ;I and is not computed in the student 's grade 11 point average.
,I NOTE: To determine whether a program is 1, sponsored by the University of Richmond, :i a student should contact the Office of the , 1 University Registrar for programs in the 11 United States, or the Office of International 1: Education for programs abroad.

Academic Probation
Academic reports are evaluated at the end of each grade-posting period. Regardless of the specific provisions for each school stated below, if at the end of any term a student's record reveals such significant deterioration in performance that extraordinary action is deemed appropriate by the dean of the student's school or college, that student may be placed on probation, limited in credit hours of enrollment, or recommended for suspension from the school or college regardless of grade point average. In addition, such student may be restricted from participation in certain University activities.
Appeals of rulings associated with the administration of these regulations shall be directed to the relevant academic council.

Ihe Second Undergraduate
Degree
IJ A student may earn more than one 1: Jndergraduate degree either consecutively
1 x concurrently in relation to another under5raduate degree provided the degrees are 1 :10t alike, e.g. , not two B.A.s or two B.S.s.
The following policies apply to any student 1 ;eeking a second undergraduate degree.
The Consecutive Bachelor's Degree
A consecutive bachelor's degree is on e which is begun after a first degree has be en conferred or after the degree requiremen ts for the first degree have been recorded as completed on the student 's permanent academic record.
A student who wishes to pursue the second bachelor's degree consecutively sh all apply to the dean of the school concern ed. (Arts and Sciences students should cont act the dean of the appropriate residenti al college .) The dean shall make a decision for admission based on the quality of pri or work , the favorable recommendation of th e intended major department , and space ava ilability. Once admitted , the stud e nt's gra de point average shall be based only on the
work taken at the University of Richmond while pursuing the second degree. The student's dean may limit or deny further registration if the quality of the student's work indicates that at least a 2.00 average will not have been achieved by the time the student has attempted 30 semester hours. A student admitted for a consecutive degree shall be considered a member of the senior class for registration purposes.
To earn a consecutive bachelor's degree, a student must achieve at least a 2.00 grade point average on a minimum of 30 additional semester hours of resident academic coursework selected from the catalog of courses. Courses in which a student-opted Pass is earned shall not count in the 30 hours. In addition, general education requirements appropriate to the degree being sought , as well as requirements for the major, must be met satisfactorily. Work taken for the preceding degree may be considered as transfer credit for the purpose of meeting these requirements; however, at least half of the major must be taken at the University of Richmond, and all other degree requirements must be met as outlined on page 40 under Graduation , including the 60 hour residency requirement.
A student who completes the requirements for the consecutive degree is ineligible for Latin honors , and will not be assigned a graduating class rank.
The Concurrent Bachelor's Degree
A concurrent bachelor's degree is one which is pursued at the same time as another bachelor 's degree.
A student who wishes to pursue a bachelor's degree concurrently shall notify the dean of his or her school promptly after the decision is reached. (Arts and Sciences students should contact the dean of the appropriate residential college.) A student in the School of Business or the Schoo l of Leadership Studies who desires a second undergraduate degree in the arts and scie nces must receive the approval of the dean
Academic Procedures/Second Degree
of the appropriate residential college as well as the sanction of the dean of their home schoo l. Even when approved for the second degree, such student remains a member of their home schoo l for academic, administrative, and extracurricular purposes.
When two degrees are being sought concurrently, the grade point average computation and all academic policies are administered on the basis of the then-accumulated work for both degrees.
To earn a concurrent bachelor's degree, a student entering prior to May 1992 must complete satisfactorily at least 150 semester hours of academic work (if one of the degrees is the Bachelor of Music, the total must be 156 academic hours) with at least 90 of the hours taken at the University of Richmond. Students entering May 1992 or after must complete 152 semester hours of academic work (158 if one of the degrees is the Bachelor of Music). In addition, the general education requirements appropriate to each degree being sought, as well as · requirements for the majors, must be com- · pleted satisfactorily. At the proper time, two degree applications must be submi tted simultaneously to the University Registrar.
Latin honors, if earned, will be shown on both degrees.
INTERNATIONALEDUCATION
In a world of wide-ranging and rapidly increasing contacts and interdependence among cultures, nations and states, a wellprepared student is one who is able to function knowledgeably in an intercultural environment. Thus, every discipline must be attentive to those of its aspectscultural, political, economic, environmental, and social -that are intrinsically international and intercultural in scope Recognizing this reality, the University of Richmond believes that the preparation of students for their roles as active citizens and effective leaders of the next generation must include international education opportunities for all. The Academic Programs sections following this chapter offer particulars about the academic programs in the School of Arts and Sciences, The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business, and the Jepson School of Leadership Studies. In addition , the following opportunities exist at Richmond
International education is an important aspect of the total University of Richmond experience. The Office oflnternational Education is charged with coordinating all of its elements, including advising students on study abroad opportunities and procedures , services for international students, and a wide range of international programs and visitors. The Office , which serves the School of Arts and Sciences, The E. Claiborne Robins School ofBusiness, the Jepson School of Leadership Studies, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and The T.C. Williams School of Law is located in the administrative wing of Boatwright Library, and welcomes visits from all students interested in international issues and people , and in contributing to the internationalization of the University.
Campus Activities
The University of Richmond provides a great range of on-campus activities and
events in support of international education. Courses, lectures, and seminars are offered by visiting international scholars, writers, artists, and critics. The annual International Film Series, exhibits, and concerts bring to the campus the arts from around the world. Students are also able to participate in such organizations as the International Club, Model United Nations, and Amnesty International. Familiarization with other countries and cultures is enhanced on campus through contacts with international students who are fully integrated into the life of the University. For example, advanced undergraduate and some graduate students from various countries regularly participate in language laboratories, drill sessions, and informal chats in the International House which help English-speaking students in the acquisition of nuanced and colloquial speech.
Cross-cultural education and dialogue at Richmond take place in classes as well as residence halls, which international students share with American students. The newly created International House is home to American and international students. Its international programs are planned and executed by the students themselves, with advice and help from resident assistants. The whole university community is invited to become involved in them.
The rapidly growing international student population has recently included representatives of Australia, the Bahamas, Brazil, Bulgaria , China, France, Germany, Great Britain, Haiti, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, Poland, Russia, El Salvador, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan , Tanzania, and other countries.
The academic program of the School of Arts and Sciences provides opportunities for the study of international issues within traditional academic fields such as interna-' tional relations and foreign languages and literatures. In addition, as a result of con-
1 scious efforts to internationalize the whole curriculum , there is also a large and growing number of courses in nearly all other de,, partments, such as art , English, history , ; 1 ' philosophy , and religion, with international, 1 often non-Western components. Students ,, 1 also have the option of majoring in Internal tional Studies, an interdisciplinary and cross- i I cultural program administered by the Direc- 11 : tor of International Education. (See pages :i I 102-108) The curricula of The E. Claiborne ,t Robins School of Business and the Jepson :: School of Leadership Studies also include a : number of courses which are international in scope.

Study Abroad
Direct experience of another culture is an ideal way to learn to communicate across barriers of language, custom , politics , and geography. An encounter with different values and educational systems , when supported by good will and serious study , broadens students' understanding of the complexities of our rapidly changing world. Students who study abroad find their experiences , both in and out of the classroom , to be stimulating and rewarding. They return w ith a better understanding not only of other cultures , but also of their own , not only ofother people, but also of themselves.
Students have a variety of options for study abroad. The University of Richmond sponsors a number of summer programs: in Australia , Austria , Costa Rica, the European Community, France, Greece, Japan, Russia, Spain, Venezuela, and Zimbabwe. It also has agreements for direct exchanges I: / of students with universities in Great Britain: the Universities of Bath, Bristol , Queen Mary-Westfield (University of London) , East Anglia, and Lancaster; in Germany: University of Munster; and in Japan: Saga . University. Additional opportunities will
be added during academic year 1995-96 as a result of new agreements and the m embership of the University in the Associa ted Colleges of the South. With prior appro val, students also may enroll in and tran sfer credits from programs administered by other institutions.
The subjects students pursue abro ad range from art to business to zoology. The countries they choose range from Great Britain to Malaysia and Egypt, from Chile to Italy and Australia. And the living arran gements span from dormitories with local students , to home-stays and independ ent apartments. While study abroad has long been recognized as a desired componen t of a liberal arts program , today students in the sciences and in business also are actively encouraged to participate in study abro ad and do so in growing numbers.
It is important to realize that study ab road is possible for almost all students, regardl ess of the major ; however, a good grade p oint average is important. It determines the student 's options. And while some beli eve that proficiency in a foreign languag e is necessary for study abroad , it is, in fact, possible to study in English in many n onEnglish speaking countries. It also is p ossible to combine intensive study of a foreign language with courses taught in English . A student may begin or continue the study of a foreign language while abroad and take content courses in English .
Students have a variety of alternati ves from which to choose when deciding wh en and for how long to study abroad. There are opportunities to study abroad for a yea r, a semester, or only a summer , and in eith er the sophomore, junior , or even the seni or year. For most students , study abroad in the junior year is the best choice.
Early planning is crucial to any succes sful study abroad experience. The selection of an appropriate program must take into account the student 's academic and p ersonal needs, the country and language in
w hich she or he wishes to study, and a number of other factors. Students are enco uraged to begin exploring the opportunities for foreign study as early as the first year at the University, and plan their University of Richmond courses accordingly.
Tbe Office of International Education , which is located in the administrative wing of Boatwright Library, advises students on stu dy abroad programs and procedures, and coordinates all Universitystudy abroad prog rams. Students should begin theirplanning for foreign study by visiting the Office of International Education and by attending a weekly information session.
After an appropriate study abroad progra m has been se lected , the student is expec ted to comp lete procedures administered by the Office of International Educatio n. Maintenance of status as a current stude nt and credit transfer for study abroad can be assured only if the program and the
International Education
specific courses have been pre-approved by the University through this office. Please see pages 49-58 for additional administrative information. For information on financia l aid for study abroad see the financial aid office.
International Student Advising
The Office of International Education is the primary 'port of call' for international students throughout their stay at the University. Issues related to student visas, health insurance, taxes, housing, as well as academic and cultural concerns, are dealt with in consultations with the staff. The office organizes special orientation sessio ns for international students, as well as cultural and social activities , for the purpose of helping internationa l students to become integra ted in the American setting, and to share their cultures with Americans.

'Oldham and Ethyl Scholars are exempt from the Communication Skills requirements only, but must satisfy the First-Year Core Course, the Health and Physical Activity, and all Fields-of-Study requirements of the General Education Requirements.
General Education Curriculum at the University of Richmond
A liberal education is typically characterized by the development of broad intellectual and cultural interests and by the achievement of a significant body of skills and knowledge. It is the particular responsibility of a general education curriculum to address the first of these goals-the broadening of students' interests-while also laying the foundation for the acquisition of advanced skills and deeper knowledge within optional areas of concentration, normally defined as majors.
So it is at the University of Richmond, where a distinctive general education curriculum has been designed to provide a stimulating and challenging introduction to collegiate life through a First-Year Core Course, to establish the basic prerequisites of productive scholarship through a set of Communication Skills requirements, to convey the basic knowledge and habits needed to live a healthy life through several Health and Physical Activity requirements, and to familiarize students in a meaningful way with some of the major approaches to intellectual and cultural life through a series of Fields-of-Study requirements.
This curriculum is offered by a faculty that sees general education as fundamental to its mission. Through its various general education courses, the faculty intends to incorporate each and every student into a community of learners who value and practice the life of the mind. Beginning with their general education courses and continuing through the courses in their major, their
i=lective courses, and their various co-cur, 1:icular and extra-curricular learning experi1=nces, University of Richmond students are , , 1=xpected to develop their ability to think I ::ritically and independently, to learn to : 1 1olerate ambiguity where true ambiguity
11 1~:xists,and to grow in their respect for, and 1heir ability to deal with, the kinds of •I nultiplicity that characterize our complex 11 ;vorld.The common goal of the University 's :i iaculty is the education of independent, , t ·esponsible, and contributing members of IJ ;ociety.
1:
, . First-Year Core Course (CORE)
1 , This two-semester course explores some )f the fundamental issues of human expe.ience through close analysis of relevant exts drawn from a number of cultures, 1isciplines, and historical periods. In this :ourse all first-year students, together with .1 1 significant portion of the faculty, share a ·ommon syllabus, and thereby engage in a , :ommon conversation. A central goal of the ·ourse is to incorporate students into a ·ommunity of learners from the very start of heir collegiate careers . It is also hoped that he intensive reading, focused discussions , nd frequent writing that typify the course viii enhance the fundamental skills re1uiredfor their subsequent coursework and fe. Sometimes associated with the course re co-curricular events such as lectures and ousical performances. This course is to be . iken and passed by all students, without ' xception, in their first year of matriculation : earns tl1reeacademic credits per semester.
l. Communication Skills
Ideas and experiences must be commu.icated if they are to be shared, scruti1· .ized, and transformed into effective nowledge. Toward these ends, the fac1 lty expects each student to develop skills ; 1 expository writing, oral communicaon, and foreign language.
Expo s itory Writing (COMl )
As regards expos itory writing, or bas ic composition, the facu lty assumes that all entering students have a certa in level of technica l competence, but scho larly wor k at the collegiate level demands t11ata student 's writing be not only technically correct bu t also purposeful and effective. For this reason, the basic course that satisfies this requirement-English 103--is essentially a course in critical thinking, in which writin g skills are deve loped as a tool for though t and communication. Although some students are exempted from this course on the basis of certain test scores, the majority of incoming students still satisfy this requir ement through taking and passing English 103. In addition to this course, the faculty has begun to implement a writing program that will help to enl1ance the expository writing skills of many University students beyond the minimum level set by this requirement.
Oral Comm u nicatio n
Oral communication is another skill th at is essential for education and life. Student s should be able to speak so that their ide as are expressed logically , lucidly, and effectively, and they should be able to provid e relevant evidence whenever appropriate. In addition , students should be able to analyze the spoken discourse of others. The general education curriculum at the University of Richmond assists students in thes e regards by immediately immersing them into frequent and intensive oral exchanges and presentations in the First-Year Core Course, and by offering relevant courses, such as Speech 101, through the Department of Speech Communication, Theatr e and Dance. In addition, many faculty and departments have been increasing the oral communication components in their courses and seminars, with the goal of enhancing this fundamental skill. With the exception of the Core Course, however , there is no single
required course that students must take to fulfillthis portion of their general education.
Foreign Language (COM2)
Foreign language has become more and more important as the world for which students are preparing themselves has placed increasing demands upon them to understand the national and cultural perspectives of other language groups. The knowledge of a foreign language is critical for achieving such understanding as well as for exposing the learner to other cultures, in ancient or co ntemporary guise, that he or she may enco unter after graduation. For these reasons, the faculty expects all students to demonstrate functional ability in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in a modern foreign language or in reading and writing in a classical language. These abilities are appraised either at entrance or through introductory and intermediate courses.
m. Health and Physical Activity
(HSSl and HSS2)
In keeping with the University's objective of fostering knowledge and personal habits that contribute to health and personal fitness, every undergraduate at the University of Richmond is required to take a twocred it course on Dimensions of Wellness and to take one non-credit physical activity course during his or her undergraduate career. The academic course on wellness covers a variety of important health-related topics such as nutrition, principles of fitness, the cardiovascular system and heart disease, eating disorders, dependency, stress and stress management , weight control, sexually transmitted diseases , and behavior modification. To derive the earliest benefit from this course and from the physical activity course, it is strongly urged that they be taken in the first or second year of matriculation.
General Education Curriculum
IV. Fields of Study
Fields-of-study courses introduce students to some of the primary fields, or sets of related disciplines, within which scholars group phenomena for study. These courses are intended to familiarize students with the kinds of questions raised by scholars within each of these groupings, and with the methods by which scholars try to answer such questions. Although field-of-study courses are typically offered by individual departments , they have nonetheless been designed and approved with general education as their primary objective. Thus, their scope exceeds the boundaries of singular disciplines insofar as they seek to give explicit attention to the perspectives, ways of thinking , and methodological approaches of larger fields of inquiry. In order to give students a broad understanding as well as a basic foundation for further study in any of these fields , the faculty requires students to pass specially designated courses in each of six fields of study: historical studies, literary studies, natural science, social analysis, symbolic reasoning , and visual and performing arts. The minimum number of academic credits to be earned in each case, except in the natural science, is three. In natural science, as explained below, students must earn four academic credits in each of two different sciences.
Historical Studies (FSH'f)
Historical studies examine events and actors of the recent or distant past within the context of the ideas, institutions, social norms , cultural practices, and physical environments out of which they arose. Such studies will enable students to understand the values of disparate societies and cul-' tures, as well as the interrelationships among ideas, institutions, and events, as they have developed over time. In requiring that students pass an approved course in this field
1 • of study, the faculty wants students to I: establish a foundation for creating their own 1· understanding of past societies and cul'· I: tures, based upon the critical use of sources 1: and evaluation of evidence.
;I I 11 1:
literary Studies (FSLT)
Literary studies are concerned with ver1' , bal texts that are read as structures of :i j · meaning. The central activity of literary ,t · studies is textual interpretation, or the 11 ; analysis of how such structures of mean1: ing are constructed by writers and readers.
• In requiring a course specially designed · and approved to satisfy this requirement, 1· the faculty wants students to learn that . textual interpretation can be guided by · 1 diverse and often competing theories and ' methodologies, and can be supported by : various collateral areas of investigation, · including the study of the process by ·1 1 which texts are created and received the : historical and cultural contexts in which • : they are created and received and their : relationships to each other a;d to other I ; fields of experience and analysis.
I
Natural Science (FSNB, FSNC, FSNP)
' Natural science is concerned with the I physical universe, from subatomic to cosmic levels of organization. It covers everything from inanimate forces to living sys1 terns. Through the generation and testing of • hypotheses regarding repeatable, measurable, and verifiable phenomena, natural · scientific inquiry is one of our major means of understanding the world in which we I live. For this reason and because of the generally low state of science literacy , which 1 is reflected in the reluctance of many stu1. , dents to take elective courses in the natural sciences, the faculty has decided to require Richmond students to take 4-credit laboratory-based courses in any two of the three areas of natural science represented at the University, namely biology, che mistry, and physics. Besides adding to students' know!-
edge of the world and their understand ing of the methods and challenges of d oing . science, the faculty hopes that these cour ses will enhance their appreciation of the be auty of science.
Social Analysis (FSSA)
Social analysis is the systematic stud y of individual and social behavior. This field of study involves a self-conscious examination of what are generally taken- forgranted assumptions regarding the nat ure of social life. It draws upon a variety of approaches, both theoretical and em pirical, in order to discern patterns of mean ing in behavior. In establishing social anal ysis as a required field of study, the faculty decided that the focus of courses in this area must be on human behavior in particular. They also want these course s to familiarize students with a variety of th eories and methods of analysis .
Symbolic Reasoning (FSSR)
Symbolic reasoning emphasizes symbolic problem solving, a process th at includes translating problems into terms that can be treated within a symbolic system, understanding the rules by which info rmation may be used to obtain solutions , recognizing important principles governing the application of these rules, and judging the appropriateness of known methods of solution to a particular problem . It is also distinguished by the attention it gives to
logical consistency and by its wide range of applicability. In requiring the passing of an approved course in this field of study, the faculty aims not only at helping students to develop the basic skills needed to use one or more symbolic systems, but also to stimulate their ingenuity in translating problems into appropriate symbolic terms and to foster their confidence and ability to pursue such problems to their valid solution.
Visual and Performing Arts (FSVP)
The study of the visual and performing arts involves scrutiny of the forms, traditions, meanings, and historical contexts of works in various visual and performance media. It also involves exploration of issues pertaining to the methods, processes, and personal resources integral to the production and appreciation of such works. In requiring a course in this field of study, the faculty hopes that by investigating and perhaps even experiencing the creation and interpretation of works of art, students will develop a heightened understanding of art as both an artistic and intellectual achievement. Supplementing approaches typical in other fields of study, such courses should demonstrate that people are as powerfully and profoundly influenced by what they hear, see, and feel as by the collection of ideas that they store in their minds.
Conclusion
In addition to the fundamental educational experiences represented by these requirements, the faculty recognizes that thoughtful reflection upon an even wider range of topics and issues---e.g., pertaining to gender, race, ethics, international perspectives, and other matters-is an important component in the education of Richmond students. While some of these topics and issues may be addressed in one or another course in the general education curriculum, the faculty feels strongly that they are best treated-sometimes focally,
General Education Curriculum
somtimes incidentally-within many different courses, outside as well as inside that curriculum. By addressing them in a variety of ways, from a variety of viewpoints, and with a variety of voices across the entire curriculum, the faculty as a whole will insure that students are aware of the many complex and serious ways in which these issues touch their lives and the lives of others.

Programs/Opportunities
Marine Studies
The University of Richmond Departme nt of Biology and the Duke University Marine Laboratory (DUML) offer a progra m supplement in marine science . Instmc tion is given by DUML and may be acce pt e d as transfer credit in the student 's University of Richmond program. Further information about the program can be ob tained from the University of Richmond Dep artment of Biology.
Master's Degree, Early Beginning
University of Richmond students who are near completion of the undergraduate deg ree may begin study in a Master's Degree program in the University 's Graduate Sch o ol of Arts and Sciences. Please see page 41 for further details.
M inor Option
A minor is a secondary academic specialization which may be sought in addition to the re quired academic major. A minor consists of at least 15 semester hours and may includ e certain other requirements as specified by the academic department concerned. A student may elect to complete more than one minor in the degree program. The minor is declared in the same manner as the majo r. Upon graduation, each completed minor will be recorded on the student's pe rmanent academic record, provided the
minor is listed on the degree application form and the requirements have been met.
Many academic departments offer a minor. The requirements in the minor, for the departments in which the minor is available, are presented under the appropriate departmental listing in the Curricula section.
Research Grants for Undergraduates
Each year the School of Arts and Sciences offers its students unusual opportunities for research projects Grants are awarded by the Undergraduate Research Committee to support research projects in a variety of ways such as purchase of materials and equipment, travel or other such expenses, or publishing the results of the research. The grant may be awarded for a project which is the student's own idea or an idea which has been conceived in cooperation with a faculty member; however, in each case there must be a faculty member who is willing to supervise the project. Generally, the project is approved for academic credit , and often the student and the faculty member will coauthor one or more professional papers on the work.
Application forms and further information are available from the Associate Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences whose office is in the administrative wing of Boatwright Library, or through the departmental chair of the department in which the project is to be supervised .

I WILL Program :women Involved in living and I Learning)
I' The WILLProgram (Women Involved in jving and Learning), established in 1980, is t selective four-year program for under~raduate women. WILL's mission is to help /\lomen rea lize their full potential individutlly and collectively by providing a support-
ive and challenging environment. WI LL aims to increase the self-esteem, self-co nfidence , and self-awareness of women as well as an awareness and acceptanc e of women different from themselves. Tow ards this end, WILL promotes critical thinki ng, intellectual curiosity, and active lear ning opportunities which empower women to be leaders during and beyond their uni versity experience.
To meet these goals, WILLstudents co mplete a minor in women's studies , part icipate in an internship , attend and help p lan programs (speakers, workshops , pla ys, musical performances , etc.) for the cam p us community on topics related to the uni que and diverse experiences of women, and participate in the organization of WILL.
Examples of courses WILLstudents h ave historically been required to take inclu de "Introduction to Women's Studies, " "Wom en in Modem Literature, " a WILL internship , a sophomore and senior WILLseminar , a n d a women's studies elective.
WILLseeks members who have dem onstrated high academic achievement, lead ership potential, and an interest in wome n 's issues. Applications are accepted from firstyear women in October of each year , and thirty new members are selected in ea rly November prior to spring registration.
CURRICUIA
SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES
This chapter presents departmental majors and minors, and the courses, with their de scriptions, offered by each department. In a course description, where the course numbers for a two-semester course are separated by a hyphen, either half of the co urse may be taken independently for cre dit, and in any order unless a prerequisite is stated. However, certain two-semester co urses have a note in the description stating that both semesters of the course must be taken to receive credit toward graduation for either.
Note: Undergraduate courses at the University of Richmond long were numbered in th e range 0-399, with 300 level being the most advanced. Beginning with the 1990 fall term , undergraduate course numbers may extend through the 400 level; however, not all departments have renumbered their co urses. Therefore, it should not necessarily be concluded that a department with 400level courses has more advanced offerings than a department having only 300-level co urses as its highest.
Individual Internship
Any academic department may offer an individual internship under the following general description.
(Dept.) 388. Individual Internship. Appli cation of aca d e mic skills and theories in a selected work e nvironment , plus related academic work supervised by a m e mb e r of the faculty. Pass / fail gradin g may be des ignat e d by a department for any or all e nr o llments. May b e rep e ated ; however , no mor e than 6 semester ho urs in the sam e department may be count e d toward th e total number of hours required for a d e gree. Prerequisite: Permission of department c oncerned 16 sem hrs.
Note: No more than 12 semester hours of internship of any kind may count toward
the total number of hours required for a degree. Student Teaching and Theatre Arts Practicums are not included in this policy.
First-Year Core Course (CORE)
Hugh A. West , Coordinator(History)
This course provides an intensive introduction to college-level work in the humanities for first-year students. Students read important primary texts from a number of cultures and historical periods. Approximately half of these texts are drawn from the Western tradition, and the other half are taken from Asian, African, Middle Eastern, and other traditions . Although it is oriented around significant works, the course's primary concern is to develop students ' ability to analyze texts and to express their ideas about these texts and about the issues they raise. The course is required of all students entering after May 1994, (including transfer students), under the General Education Curriculum of the School of Arts and Sciences.
101-102 Exploring Human Experience. Intensive reading of important primary texts dealing with basic issues of human existence , followed by discussion , interpretation , and writing. To be taken in consecutive semesters during the first year. (For students entering prior to May 1994, this course fulfills the same graduation requir e ment as the Western Civilization courses, History 105-106 and 115- 116.) 3 -3 sem hrs.

COURSES OF INSTRUCI10N
Whe re the course numbers for a twosemeste r course are separated by a hyphen , generally, either half of the course may be taken independently for credit and in any order unless a prerequisite is stated. However, ce rtain two-semester courses have a note in the description stating that both semesters of the course must be taken to receive credit toward graduation for either.
Note: Undergraduate courses at the University of Richmond long were numbered in the range 0-399 , with 300-level being the most advanced. Beginning with the 1990 fall term, undergraduate course numbers may extend through the 400-level; however, not all departments have renumbered their courses. Therefore, it should not necessarily be concluded that a department with 400-level courses has more advanced offerings than a department having only 300-level courses as its highest.
